That magnificent iron and coal pro­ ducing estate iu the north bad not been yielding quite so mneb bard cash ns itsownnr expected from it lately. Strikes and trade-unionism bad told uponMr.Sinclnir’s income. Tbo coa’ market had fluctuated nwkwaidly. Belgium had been tapping the demand for iron. There was pl«nty of money coming iuyof course, from Gilbert’s largo p ^Sessions; but nnfortuunt-Iy there was also a great deal going out. The New­ market stables had cnst a small fortune, the Newmarket hnrsen bad been unlucky, and Gilbert's book for the Inst three or four seamns had boon a decided failure, • The fnct is, Wyatt,' lie r<-mnrked tothat confident al adviser one dull afternoon over a telc-a tcte game at billiards, 1 I ’m spending loo much money.* * Have you only just found that out ? ' asked the solicitor, with a calm sneer. • Th* purchase of this confounded placetook too much of my capital, and these strikes and lockouts coming on top of it—’ * Not to mention your vicious habit ofplunging,'remarked Mr. Wyntt, paren­ thetically, taking a careful aim at the dis- W-Ug . rafi CM.

Ths crate fa vriueb tba trip was performed was a thirty-foot Im4 mi boat pointed al th* bow. BeforeIsutriag the Indian village ot Cragboswaga, pig John had tkksD the precinttou fi. hsti s r.,M pass*! under the boat and tied to Mvsral logs BO that tbo “pale fae*,” in tbe event of capsizing, could taka bold rad prabaMrfloat through the foatamg waters. After nil the arrangements arere oom plotsd at etefen n. m., end after bidding adiea to a largoassemblage of Indians and squaws st CaUgh- nawaga, tbe party started on tbsir josenn^r* Along the abure the banka were lined with Indians and sqnaws, who warad tbmir bandkerebteto and brightly ootoBrodshawls, forming a ptatok-eaqus aigfili H » two In­ dian assistants worked two oan.wfedo Big John ptood npin ths stern and guid*l tho ; for Africa, at wbicti he had met the hand- , soma widow to whom Mr. Sinclair was r then supposed to be engaged. The fact . was brought more vividly back to life mind by a circuinstauee that came under • bis notice the evening after he Lad i accepted Lord Clanyarde's invitation to i March brook. f He had beeh dining hl his club with ani ' eld college friend, and died consented, some* • what unwillingly, to an adjournment to . one of the theatres near the Strand ntwhich a popular burlesque was being play- , ed for the three hundred and sixty-fifth , time. Sir Cyprian entertained a cardial > dictation of this kind of entertainment, in #blcb the l>w comedian of this company enacts a distressed damsel in short petli­eoats and a flaxen wig, while pretty act resxes swagger in cost nines of the cavalier period, and apo tbo managers of the music-hall swell. But il was ten o'clock. The friends bad recalled all tbe old Oxford follies in tho days when they were under­ graduates togHlier in Tom Quad. Theyhnd exhausted these reminiscences and a magnum of Lnfilte. and though Sir Cyp­ rian would have gladly gone back to his chambers and bis books, James Dnnsfer, bis friend, was of n livelier temperament, and wanted to finish the evening. 'Let’s go and see Herculee and Om- pltale at the Kideidoscope,’ he said. ‘It’s ro end of fan. Jeemson plays Ompliale ina red wig, and Minnie Vavasour looks aw- fully fascinating in pink satin boots and a lion-skin. We shall just be in time for the breakdown.’Sir Cyprian assented with a yawn. Ho had seen fifty such burlesques as Herculee and Ompliale in tbe days when snch things bad their charm for him too, when ho conld be pleased with a pretty girl in pink satin Hessians, or be moved to laugh­ ter by Jecmson’s paiuted nose and falsetto scream. They took a hansomo and drove to the Kaleidoscope, a bandbox of a theatre screwed into an awkward corner of one of the narrowest streets in Loudon—a streetat which well-bred enrriage-horees accus­ tomed Io the broad thoroughfares of Bel­ gravia shied furiously.It was December, and there was no one worth speaking of in town; but the little Kaleidoscope w»» crowded, notwithstand­ing. There were just a brace of empty stalls iu a draughty corner for Sir Cyprian and Mr. Dunster.Tho breakdown was jnst on, the pretty little Hercules flourishing his club, nnd ex­ hibiting a white round arm with a diamond bracelet above the elbow. Otuphalo was showing her ankles, to the delight of the groundlings, the violins were racing oneanother, end the flute squeaking its shril­ lest in a vulgar nigger melody, aocenlunted by rhythmical bangs on tbe big drum- Theaudience were in raptures, and rewarded the exertions of band nn dancers with a double recall. Sir Cyprian stifled another yawn and looked round the house. Among the vacuous countenances, all intent on tho spectacle, there was one face which was out of the common, and which expressed a suprems wearinew. A Indy sitting alone in a stage-box, with one rounded nrm resting indolently ou the vel­ vet cushion—an arm that might have been carved in marble, bare to the elbow, its warm human ivory relieved by the yellowhue of an old Spanish point ruffle. Where hnd Cyprian Davenant seen that face be­ fore ? The lady bad passed the first bloom of youth, but her beauty was of the character that does not fade with youth. She was of the Pauline Borgheso type, a woman worthy to be modeled by a new Canova. ' I remember,' said Sir Cyprian to him­ self. * It was at that Richmond dinner I met her. She is the laxly Gilbert Sinclair was to have married.' He felt a curious interest in this woman, whose name even he bad forgotten. Wbv had not Sinclair married her ? She was strikingly handsome, with a bolder, grand­ er beauty than Conetanco Clanyarde’s frag­ ile and poetic loveliness—a woman whom such a man as Sinclair might have natur­ally chosan. Just as such a man would choose a high-stepping chestnut horse, without being too uico as to fiuouoss anddelicacy of line. * And I think from tbe little I saw that the lady wu attached to him.' mused SirCyprian. He glanced at tbe atago-box several times before the end of the performance. The lady was quite alone, and sat in the same attitude, fanning herself languidly, and hardly looking at ths stage. Just as the curtain fell. Sir Cyprian henrd tbeclick of the box door, and looking up, saw that a gentleman had entered. The lady rose, and he came a litl'e forward to as­ sist in the arrangement of her ermine-lined mantle. The gentleman was Gilbert Sinclair.* What did yon think of it asked Jack Dnnster, as they went ont into the windy lobby, where people were crowded togetherwaiting for their carriages. ' Abominable,* murmured Sir Cyprian. 'Why, Minnie Vavasour is the prettiest actress fa London, and Jsemson's almost equal to Toole.' * I beg your pardon. I was not thinking of the burlesque,* answered Sir Cyprian,hastily. Gilbert and bis sompanioo were ju t in front of them.* Shall I go and look for your carriage ?' asked Mr. Sinclair. ' If you like. But ns von left me to sit 1 ont this dreary rubbish by myself all the < evening, you might ju t as wvll have let ' me find my way to my •erriage.' < * Don't be angry with me far breaking < my engagement. I wu obliged to go ont <shooting with some fellows, and I don’t ; leave Maidstone till nine o'clock. I think < I paid joo s considerable compliment in 1 travelling thirty miles to hand you to your < carriage. No other woman could expect so mfreb from me.' * Yon us not going back to Davenant to­night?' * No; there is a supper on at tbs Albion. Lord Colsterdale's trainer is to be there, and I expect to get a wrinkle or two from : him. A simple matter ot businees, I assure you.’ ■ Mr*. Walsingham's carriage 1* roared : tbe waterman. * Mrs.Walaingbam,* thought Sir Cyprian, whs was aquMsed into • comer with bia friend, walled ap by opera cloaked sbonld- through handsome fortunes and bringing their owners to tho Jews—not for him. . He could take bis amusement out of other men's follies and remain wire Iniurelf. i Life to him wu an agreeable at d n-t ua I live spectacle, which he assiited al as aom-fortably as lie heard Don Giovanni from hie stall in the third row; and when tbo1 foul fiend of insolvency whisked off one ofbis dearest friends to the infernal regions where bankrupts nnd outlaws inhabit, he felt what a nice thing it was to be only a spectator of the great drama. Not being a sportsman, Mr. Wystthad a good deal of lime to himself st Davenanttiropito his general usefulness. There were rainy mornings when the men Were out slmotiug, and the 'bns bad not yetstarted for the point <>f rendezvous with the ladies nnd tho luncheon. These leis­ ure hours Mr. Wyatt improved by strolling about the corridors, looking at the old pic­ tures, for the most part in that meditative mood iu which a man sees very little ofthe picture he seoms to contemplate, and occasionally by a quiet flirtation with Me­lanie Dnport. That young person bad plenty of lei*ure for perambulating the cvnid.-rs between breakfast and dinner. Mnt. Sinclair was by no means an exacting mistress, and Melanie's life at Daveuautwas one of comparative idleness. Her superiority of mind showed itsrlf io acalm contempt f»r her fellow servants, and aho was randy to be found in tbo servants' rooms. She preferred tbo retirement ofher own bed-chnmber, and a French novel lent her by that good-natured Mr. Wyatt, who had always a supply of the newest and worst Parisian literature in his port­ manteau. On this .lull Di ccmber morning a day of gr;y clouds and frequent showers,Mr. Wyntl stood before a doubtful Van- dyck, smoking meditatively, and apparent­ ly absorbed in a critical examination ofPrines Rupert’s slouched beaver and os­ trich plume, when Melanie's light, quick step and tripping French walk at the other end of tho gallery caught his ear.He turned slowly round to meet her, puffing lazily at bis cigar. * Eli, hi belle,’ he exclaimed, ‘even nnEnglish December d ies not dim the lustre of those southern eyes.* •I was bori iu ths Q i.irtior Latin, and my parents were all that Ibero is of flic moat Parisian,* answered Melanie,scornfully. ' Then you mnet bine stolen those eyes of ymira from one of the Murillos iu the Liwvre. What news, little one ? * * Only 111nt I find myself more and more we.iry of this great barrack.' ’ Come, now, Melanin, you must confess you have a g *od lime of it here.' * Oh, as for tint, perhnps I ought not to oomplain. Mv mistress is very gentle, toogentle ; il gnaws me to the heart to see her silent gnef. That preys upon my mind.’ Hero Melanie squeezed oul a tear, which sho removed from her penrl-powdered cheek—a v<ry sallow cheek tinder tho powder—daintily with the corner of a hem-stitched bandkerebic-f. * Yon are too compassionate, little one,'said Mr. Wyatt, putting bis arm round her waist consolingly. Perhaps be bad gone a little too far with these leisure half bonrauf flirtation. He bad an idea that ibe girl was going to bo troubl fome. Tears augured mischief.* C'eal dominnge,' murmured Melanie; ‘ I have the heart too tender.' * Don’t fret, my angel. See here, prettyone, I have brought yon another novel,* inking a papcr-covered book from bispocket. * Bzlot ? ’ ' No, Zola.' * I don’t want it. I won't road it. Y’onrnovels are full of lies. They describe men who will make any sacrifice for the woman :hey love—men who will take a peasantgirl from her hovel, or a grisotto from her garret, and make her a queen. There are no such mon. I don’t believe in th*m.*cried the girl, passionately, her eyes flash- ing fire. * Don't bo nngry, Melanie. Novels , would be dull if they told only the truth ’ ‘ They would ba very amueing if they , doscrilied men of your pattern,' retortedMelanie. • Men who say sweet things , without meaning them, who flatter ovary woman they talk to, who turn a foolish girl’s bead with their pretty speeches and caressing ways,and then laugh at her folly. Yea, as you are laughing at me,' cried Me­ lanin, exasperated by Mr. Wyatt's placidsmile. ’ No. my sweet,! am only admiring you,' 1 be replied, calmly. • What have I done to 1 laisa thia tempest ? ' * What have you done ? ' cried Melanie, 1 and then burst into tears, real tears thistime, which seriously damaged tba pearl powder. • I am sure I don t know why I 1 should care so much for yju. You are not handsome. Yon ars not even young.' * Perhaps not, but I am very agreeab'e,' said James Wyatt, oomphcently. * Dsn’l cry, ma fo-lle; only be patient nod >• .son- able, nnd perhaps I shall be able to prove to you some day that there are m< n real, living men, who are capable of at y sacri­ fice for tlia woman they lova,' 1 Melanie allowed herself to be rpprared 1 by this rather vague speech, bnt • >e wasonly half convinced. ;* Tell me only one thing,' she said, 1 * Who in that lady I saw at Schonestbal ?and why were you »o anxious to please 1 Iter ? ’ J imes Wyatt's s mot th face clou led at 1 this question. * She is related to me, and I knew she 1 bad been badly tired. Hush, my dear, 1 might have friends ifi this northern district. Bnt after what be bad seen at flw Kalei­ doscope, Sir Cyprian was inclined to sus­ pect Mrs. Walringbam. That aba still cared for Sinclair he was assn red. Ha bad seen her face light np when Gilbert enter­ed the box ; be had seen that suppressed angsr which is the surest sign of a jealous, enacting love. Whether Gilbert still caredfor her was an open question. His moot­ ing her at the theatre might have been a concession to a dangerous woman ratherthan a spontaneous act of devotion. Sir Cyprian followed the brougham into the sequestered village jf Totteridge,where it dre* np before the garden gate of a neat cottage with green blinds and a half­glass door—a cottage which looked like the abode ot a spinster annuitant. Hera Mrs, Walsingliam alighted and went in, opening the half-glaas door withtbn air of a porsoa accnstotned to enter. He fade a little way farther, and then walked his horse gently back. Tbe broug­ ham was still standing before tbe garden gate, and Mrs. Walringbam was walking up and down a gravel-path by tbe aide of the house with a woman and a child—a child io a scarlet hood, jnst.able to toddlealong the path, sustained on each side by a supporting band. • Some poor relation’s child, perhaps,'thought Cyprian. ‘A friendly virit ou the lady's part.’ Ho had ridden further than he is tended, and stopped al tbe little inn to give his horso a feed of corn and an bonr's rest, white he strolled through the village andlooked at the old-fashioned church-yard. The retired spot was not without its inter­ est. Yonder was Coppot Hall, the placeLord Melbourne once occupied, and which hod, later, passed into the possession of the author of that splendid series of bril­liant and various novela which reflect as in a magio mirror of the varieties ef life from tbe age of Flinty to the eve of the Franco-Prnssian war. • Who lives fa that small house with the green blinds?* asked Sir Cyprian, as be mounted bis horse to ride home. • It’s been took furnished, Sir, by a lady from London for her nurse and baby.'• Do you know the Indy's name ?’ • I can't say that I do, Sir, They baa their beer from the brewer, and pave ready money every fm ’.

Th® Loudon Adocrtieer in it* ■ issue ef Saturday tat shows itself to be one of tho*® papers which deny that a change in tb® office was contemplated. Th® Goderich Signal ii another. The laltei pN>cr says " Wc are authorised to sny thst the presentGovernment have not contemplated at anytime, nor do they now contemplate tho mak­ing of sny change in the official pewnnel of tho collectorship at Goderich. Mor® than *year ego Mr. Mackenxi* wa* approached uponthis subject, and hi* answer was that he couldnut, in the interest* of the public, favor thesuperannuation of the present incumbent. Tbe duties of the office are not very onnrou*, andthe present collector is perfectly able to per­form them. 'Why then,’said Mr.Mackenzie,•s'lould wa saddle the country with *n addi­tional expense of 8500 or $300 a year whenthe efficiency of the public service does not d*msnd it. Wc are informed t'sat tho Premier ■till hold* to tlieso views.” To which tbe Goderich Star ramarks:— " Now let u* state the real facts, whichcannot be denied. It waa well known Mr. Horton had gone to Ottawa to negotiate thisdisgraceful barter, and wo heard, from goodauthority, what the terms would probably be.Two sets of conditions were said to have beenformulated, to recompense Mr. Horton, oneof them consisting in part of tho appointmentreferred to. Tlieso were fully discussed on Mr. Horton’s visit to Ottawa towards tho closeof the month of September, and on the secondvisit? last Saturday, some farther conversation took place on the subject. When Mr. Hortonreturned to Goderich on Monday afternoonlast, he sent for Mr. Doty, the present incum­bent of the office, and plainly asked him to resign, adding thst his reply must be receivedby noon on Tues-lay. On that day Mr. Doty■went to Mr. Horton and informed him that after considering tho matter and consulting hisi friends, he had decided not to resicu. Mr.Horton said it would be better for him (Mr. Doty) if he did, a* the new Governmentwould be sure to'dismiss him, to which Mr.Doty rcp'ied that he did not think so, and as he did not wi<h to resign, ho would hold on tothe office until they did. Then Mr. Hortonr coolly said—‘But the Government has yourresignation already.' This wsi nosi to Mr. Doty, and he enquired what was meant, andMr, Horton ssked him if ho did not rememberI Blotter written to him (Horton) in February ! last. Mr. Doty said—’Surely you do notmean to say that you gave that letter, whichwas a private eommunicaiiort, to the Govern- I meut.' Mr. Horton replied that he did, and k that it !«m fgted at Otlaic-i a» hit reeignalion.' Now, then, will tho Signal tell tho public whoauthorized it ‘to say that the present Govern­ment have not contemplated al an<i time, nar . do they note contemplate tbe making of anvchange in the collectorship at Goderich!*What we have stated is strictly true, the facts» having heart givenhy Mr. Doty himself. How, t then, could the Signal have the effrontery tomake such a wilful, barefaced, lying state­ment, when, at the very time the article was • being written, it was matter of town talk that. the demand bad been made on Mr. Doty, and,if the person who gave the information was 'authorized/ he, at least, must have known It'to be a base lie? Wo knew nn Monday thatthodemand had been made. Did Sir. Horton lie to the Signal, or did the Signal lie frompure cussednes* and from an irresistible in­stinct ! How could the Signal believe that Mr. Mackenzie still held Io tho views which itsays ho expressed more than a year ago, whenMr. Horton was specially commissioned to de­ mand tho rciicnation? It is impossible tothink thst it did and the only conclusion thatcan be arrived at is, either that tho articlewas written in most culpable ig onnee ofwhat was transpirin’ under its very nose, orthat tho whole statement is an unblushing lie,and wa are reluctantly compelled to b-lieve the latter to bo tbe fact. If, therefore, snchgross fabrication* and wilful perversions of thetruth as those are sought to bn palmed off on the people, what credence can bs given to anystatement* made either by the Grit uress orby the Grit orators, from Mr. Mackenzie andMr. Cartwright down ! We leave tho electors to judge for themselves from tho facts asgiven above." It is now abundantly evident that lbs Grit Party has at no time possessed the oenfidenc® of the great body of the electors of Canada. They came into po^»r, not on tho'.r merits, but because of a w ire of ex- <u®Mseut which temporarily aff ctel the •SsssdtuT of ibeir opponents. Mr. Blako hiinwlf admitted two sessions sgo that, even after running ths elections with th« Pacific Scandal in their favor, their party eueeaeded in carrying a large number of tfaostitaencies by only very small majori­ ties, and that, as a whole, the vote was •parly aqnally divided between the two pastin®. Tins important® of this statement, whet 'burly wdghed, must be eoniidered ia connexion with two leading fact* name- ly, (1) that a large body of CouMrvatives voted with the Grits in that election (1874), and (2) that another tags body of Con­ servatives did not vote at jilt.

How much purity was t® ba found in th® actions of the thirty Grit M. P/s who were unseated, and som® of them disqualified, after the election of members to the last Parliament? How much honesty has boon found in Mr. Mackenzie and his Cabinet during the past five year* ? How many of lbs numerous fair promisos mods by the Premier five years ago, and through which hi* party gained power, have been fulfilled? . How about “ elevating the standard of pol­ itical morality " ; how about ’‘No Coali­ tion how about “ Independence of Par- lismeut ’’; •' Reduction of number of Cab- iuot Ministers "No collusion between tb® Dominion and Provincial Govern­ ments" ; " Parliamentary control over con­ tracts" ; Ac., Ac. ? H.<* a single on® of those principles basn maintained ? Not one. How about their honesty, in th® face of such jobs as the Nuebiug Hotel aud K'uniuistiquia land job ; the Foster con­ tract ; the Glass contract; the Goderich Harbor job ; Fort Francis Lock ; Fort Pelly works; th® steel rail® transaction ; Ac., Ac. ? Do those jobs show that bonosty and purity so much talked of? In the face of these aud many other things which have from time to time been shown against them, do they not, when crying their own purity,stand before the world as tho meanest lot of hypocrites the sun ever shone on ? Iu election court after election court brib­ ery was found against members who had pcssod for great purists, aud when new elections took place Conservatives were elected in their places. Sj that from all quarters public opinion expressed itself , strongly against the Government, and al , an early day an indication was given that (' the country had no confidence in cither the ( integrity or the ability of tho Gavernmont. j Although not possessing the confidence ef (’ tbo country, the Grit party have held pow- , er for five years, aud all this time they • were iu spirit usurpers. Members of the 1 [ Government appointed themselves to Judgeships. Governorships, Cullectorehips, I and various other of the highest offices of ' the Government. They helped their fsvor- ;ite® without stint to tho public moneys, i giving them salaries and preferment when- j eror demanded. They dismissed public * officia's from office because of suspected > sympathy with the mon in a former Gov- ‘ ernment who appointed them, and, geuer- , ally speaking, they attempted to crash ont frs'-dom of opinion. They have violated the laws in hundreds of instances, aud have paid no attention to Parliamentary orders. They have, in fact, been a law unto themselves. They have squandered the revenues, added to tbo annual expen­ ditures, and swollen tbo public'debt by many millions. They sought to make the Post Offices reveal to Postmasters the con­ tents of private letters. They have added now taxes to tho old list,and have increased the debt of the Dominion. They have played havoc with local industries, and Have refused to do anything for th^m. And, during the time that these things have been going on, tbo Grit party has ba] really no standing in the country. It was a delusion and a snaro—a hollow sham —which, when fully exposed and shaken, foil all to pieces. Still, these men and their followers proclaim them selves pur*, and honest, and capable I But they have not stopped their wrong-doings with their -dissolution of tho House. Since that time and in tho contest recently endwd, they must show their colors again. Not content with tbo large amount of impurity previous, ly recorded against them, they must still add to tbo quantity. in tho Jacques Car­ tier election trap-door fraud is to bo found the worst, in every conceivable shape, that was ever practiced at any election ever known. In this constituency Hon. Mr. Laflamme, Grit, and Mr. Girouard, Con­ servative, were the candidates. Tho for­ mer was declared elected, but s recount of the ballots has since taken place ?nd the latter now holds the seat. The manner in which the Grits elected Mr. Laflamme is highly interesting, and though it does net show much of real purity, it does show Grit purity to a knock down. The first part of the frand was th® appointing Mr. Valoi® returning officer in tho place of Dr. Filatranlt, tbe Registrar of tho Riding. Then Mr. Valois fell sick and tbe whole ef -bo work had to be done by bis deputy. Mr. Olivier, and bis election clerk, Mr. Christian. In division No. 2, according to proclamation tho bouse of Mr. Daoust was fixed upon as the polling place, but possi­ bly because it was not possible to operate cither on him or his house, another place was selected in tbe very trelh of the of- ficial announcement, on lb® very morning of tho election. A iteputy-returning officer for this place was appointed, but be was suddenly replaced by Mr. Forget. Tbe ballot* had been printed iu an establish, meat In Montreal, but suddenly they dis- app^l-ed and others wer® printed in their place. Suda»c'y on the morning of the 17th it was peraeiveJ that more ballots were wanted, and 002 more wer® sent to th® polling ptao. " Tb® tat is,” says th® Minertie, " thia memorable election was only * succession of changes and substitu­ tions/* Half an hour before th® closing uf lb® poll, Mr. Forget, th® deputy-return­ ing offie®r, took suddenly and violently ill with tbe colic, and left th® pta®, first lock­ ing up th® ballot bot iu a sideboard. In th® bottom of tb® ■ id• board was a trap door, and b®n«ath that a trap in th® flo«r, and In th® abs®nc® of th® returning officer, who was ®o conveniently taken sick, th® ballot box was token down and opened and the ballot* were shaugsd, between forty and fifty for th® OonsarvAliv® eendidat® being taken Mt and a larg® number for Mr. laflamm® substituted. Th* ballet : box waa then replaced and the stolen bal­ lots thrown into a cellar beneath, where th*y were fotmd when a ®eareh w«* made. At th* count of th* ballot* after ths does' of the pell it was found that Mr. Girou»rd , bad Mly 14 votes, which was a very «t*rt- l lia«nnw»uu®em®nt to th* elector* at tbe > polling plan®. After their ®qnilibrinm Led ted by fair means, anything, no matter how unlawful or dirty, must b® resorted to in order to win. and th® above oondeusfd account of how th® purists in Jacques Car­ tier carry on their elections, shows to what a low cenditinn men may fall to by fol­ lowing the influences of a thoroughly cor­ rupt Government, And tins Mr. Laflamme —this Honourable Minister of Jutiice—is th® very man Mr. Mackenxio w m so anx­ ious to elevate to the Bench iu Quebec I A nice ornament to the Bench he would hnvo been. That would have been " elf veling the standard" with n vengeance. Surely if all tho inatanoes of fraud and chicanery previously brought to light wer® uiot snfficiaut, this crowning piece of vil­ lainy should stamp tho Grit partj* as the most corrupt that ever existed. And yet tho Grit pres* aud the Grit spoolers will still tell yon, and attempt to lend the peo­ ple to believe, that it is a party of purity, aud that all their hands ar® clean. But, thank Heaven, tbe people found them out in th sir hypocrisy even before this meanest of all frauds was perpetrated, and decided­ ly told them at the pulls that hypocrites aud trickster* meet with death at their hands when known. Five years—yes, two years—was long enough to show tbo peo­ ple of Canada tho incapacity and roguish­ ness of tbe Grit party, and it is to bo hoped that, if over Sir John or his party is again ’ defeated at tho polls, tho rein* of power 1 will fall iuto different hands from those * who at present are tb® Opposition. It is 1 to ba hoped that now the Grits are on tbe L left, they will try and cleanse themselves ’ from the impurities with which they are ’ so greatly possessed, even if it should ic- * quire tho dropping off of some of tbe lead- ' ing members of the present day and take ’ on new once, and that if they aro again called upon to rnlo they can show to the world a few capable men as well as some _______......................................................... real purity and honesty. But don't, please if not completely, represented. Such is thedon't, we ask our Grit friends, make your- I °f this marvellous collection of works selves appear worse than ridiculous by proclaiming yourselves, as nt present con­ stituted, a pure aud honest party.

He mnst lie ananient sight-seer indeed,who will get throughtho Industrial building of the Champ tieMar*, aud finish his day by working np the Trocadero. Thu Trocaduro not only has itsown facade and grand entrance, but theseform one of the remarkable features, from an architectural view, of the whole Exhibition ;and, what is more, it is considerably moreeasy of acce.-s than the other linibling. On the Auteui line of railwav a special station ■ ..............i-----------1 -• —------.------called the Avenue du Trocadero has been I whilst some m«e* ami mouth* are built; visitors from the terminus of St. Lazaro • -• 1 or any other station on the line, reach it in afew minutes, for four or six sou*, and a tenminutes' walk, or a comfortable tramway car­nage will set them down at the ImiLling. The Palais de* Fetes, as it is biptised, ispeculiar in its architecture, and has Iwcn dubbe<i " Byzantine-Renaissance of th>- 19thcentury." but it is a very striking building,grand in proportions, capped with two eleganttowers, ami occupies a most imposing position. The approach to it is especially striking ; infront is the largest b»in of water containingthe grandest fountain iu all Paris. The water , is not spouted out of shells, nor out of themouths of amphibious, mythical, or any other• kind of animals, but is thrown up in a grand . gerb, or sheaf, from a mass of bronze bulrush­es. In the centre is one tine jet and all r around falls the limpid and sparkliug water > in exquisite curves, breaking into spray andi reflecting the sunshine with tbe most variedand beautiful effects. This fountain is alone1 worth coming to Paris to see. The basin is» probably a hundred feet in diameter and tho; fountain is quite large enough for snch a basin. Around the former is a brood bond «f brilliantf flowers,outside this a -sin an em r dd slop; andt slight iron fence, and again, beyond, there is , a tine circular proinen ulo with a double rowof trees. Opposite this grand fountain is the’ great Hallo de* Fetes, not, however, visible from this, tbe Passy, aide. Two grand en­trances, one ou each side of the central por­tion, lea 1 into noble vestibules, tho roof sup­ported by massive polished pillars of Jura stone, with handsomely sculptured capitalsand bases, ami between these some pieces of sculpture in bronz?, inclading a fine Buddhafrom Japan. From these vestibules, dour*lead iuto tbo grand »alle, or ampitheatre.The decorations of this ealle are light andeffective. Right and left of the gigantic cen­tral ho-ly, like those of an extra largo speci­ men of the famous roe, tho outspread wing*of the palace extend more than a thousandfeet acros* the whole of tbe hill, anil, carving gracefully, seem to half enclose the lonelygrounds in their embrace. Th* park front oftho central talle, a* well a* of tho wings, isarcaded throughout it* entire length, andfrom it an admirable view is obtained uotonlyof tho river and th® Exhibition on the oppo­site bank, but of a considerable part nf Paris on tbe one hand, and of tho suburbs nn thoother. Here, too, tho great cascade, thofonntaina and tho plantations are seen to a lvantage. On the plinths nf the head o< the Ci-cade, and ®n others which aarreutid tbebasin befow, are flue emblematical figures ofp»r*ou2rre aftd animals in brons® gilt, by some of tn«l '»**t aea’otors in Franc® ; and be­low and beyond, the French and other gar­ dener* have exhibited their utmost skill.

PARTIAL DESTRUCTION OF BAILEY'S CARRIAGE FACTORY. On Monday night between 9 end 10 o'clock a fire broke out in Geo. Bailey's ex-tencivu carriage and sleigh factory which consumed the greater portion rf the main building. | The flames were first discoveredissuing from tho varnish and paint room iu the second Ftory and from tho ir.tlnuinble iialnrn « f the material spread with great rapidity to the finishing room, in winch a large mnontil of unfinished work was de­ stroyed. At one time it was feared the entire block of buildings, some five or six in number, togetli<r with sheds stored with seasoned timber wuiil Iinevitably have been destroyed but, fortuu ntely, owing to tho favorable direction of tho wind an<1 (ho excellent work of the firemen the fire was confined to the main building. Th* carriages and other finish­ ed work in the lower story was nearly allgot out without injury. Mr. Bsitey will suffer considerable loss which he will sus­ tain in the destruction of building nml ma ir-iiul. The total li^s sustained will, nt a rough estimate amount to flora 92,900 to 68,090. There is mi insurance in the Mcr-cbanlilo of Waterloo of $2,000, of which 1700 is on tho building burned and $400 on contents, the balance ef $900 being on thoother buildings anil their contents. In tho Citizens of Montreal therv is an insurance ol $l,200.of which $209 is on stock of hardware, paints, oils, varuishe* etc., and $600 on carriages, wagons, cutlers, sleighs etc,, in the building burned, the balance of $400i* on the contents of the other building*. B*lh the hand engines and the steamer did good execution al this fire, ns the charedremain* of the building will testify .but bad tbs few minutes lost time st tho Hail through the bursting of the h<>so etc., notoccurred, » much larger amount of prope r- ty would have been saved. This is * mat­ ter which the Fire Committee should en­ quire into al ouee. t ir e at Mur ray's gr ocery. On Thursday, nt* little after midnight, ef last week, a fire was discovered in the passage way between the groctry ctor* of Mr. A. G. Murray and the jewelry store of Mr. H. Vj j i, whio’i. by the timely alarmami arrival of the fire brigade was put nut before any great amount of damage wa* done. Mr.Murray's loss in goods dsmagrdby fire, smoke and water will amount to between $800 and $400 which is covered byinsurance. The building is damaged to th* extent of about $250 which is fully covered by insurance. M. E. Church Anniversary, According to announcement in our last issue the anniversary services in connec­ tion with the Methodist Episcopal Church, Ingereol), wore held on Sunday and Mon­ day last, and wo have pleasure in beingable to stato that thoy were of a very in­ teresting nature, and highly successlul in every point. The Rev. Mr. Curd, the es­teemed pastor of tho church, and the lead­ ing spirit of the committee of arrange­ ments, by inviiiog the Rev, Dr. Dadgley, ofB’ lleville, to take tho leading part in tho Subbatli services,offered a treat to the peo­ ple of thia town in which all wonld haveboei> highly pleased had they participated, and for which large congregations both morning and evening were truly thankful. The Bernr-ns wero both of a high order, Bitch M could only- couie from a thoroughly educated Christi"*1 ccntlcman, and wo have heard it remarked that few, if ?ny.Bermons yet preached in the chinch have shown the exceih-uco of these. In the afternoon n “ platform mooting" was held, addressed by tho Rev. Dr. Budgley and resident min­ isters. This meeting -vas also largely at­tended, and great interest manifested in the short addresses on given subjrcts stated in the programme. Collections wero takenup nt the three meetings, and the snm re­ alized amounted to a neat sum. In every particular, especially in a religions point ofview, the Sabbath s. rvic< 8 Were a success. On Monday evening the annual tea- mci tiug was held, nml like all previous ones gotten up by the ladies of this congre­ gation, it wns really a splendid on". There was Fcaicely anything to bo had at this season of the year in th« wny of eatables but tho several henvily hiden end beauti­ fully arranged tahh-s represented—every thing from a nicely-done Im key to n de­lightfully sour cucumber pickle wns liberal­ ly presi Died by the ladies mid their mate Hs.‘t*tnuts, mid gratefully received by theguests. The social element prevailed, too, among nil tl.c people—those nt the tables for tlio time being, nml ih.ose who wire in waiting. The happy smiling laces told be­ yond doubt that every one present wns glad to be there. After ten all repaired to the body of tlio church, where smu- inter- e«ting exercises w« re to bo pr-'ec.-.lnd with. Itev. Jmu s Gar liii*r, P. E., was called to the chair, ami he filled it very satisfactor­ ily. The speakers present inclnd”d lie", Dr. Badgli-y. ll. v. Mr. Andrews, Thames- ford, nml Revs. Messrs.

Each one of ihe above gentlemen int rested the audience with a. short address, mid between tho addresses tlio audience u ere favored by th“ choir with excellent selections, a solo by Mis Jes­sie Flewi Hing being particularly n<!inir< d. The tt'hrde affair, from thn beginning on Sabbath morning until the close on Mon­day night, wo need not hesitate to say wns n grand s'lccest, nml wo wish the M. E.

Milking Cows ecu not bo kept in full flow wilEont ample rations of fresh fodder.* As the pictures lu-eont* bare, newly enrod corn- stalks, cut and mixed with chopped roots and sprinkled orer with midlinga, and ground com and oats, may be given. Liberal fee l always pays with the right kind of cowj.. The aim in feeding, now, should bo to got the stock into good condition before cold weather, remembering that an animal begin­ ning the w^int^r well,is as good as half through it already. Sheep, if fed liberally, nnd^anaged careful­ ly, are mnA.profltable Hock. The better we do for them, the better they will do for us ; bvlly managed, they arc likely to prove a failure. Feeding sheep for market is a profitable business for those who have judgement to buy well, to foot! well, and to sell well. Two profits can easily be made. A big manure heap, and good pay for feed and care will bo returned to the skillful feeder. For moredetailed information, ‘‘Stewart'* Shepherd’s | Manual ” may be consulted. Feeding for Pork, may best be l>egun at once, u-ung the soft corn first Some feed green stalks, ent fine, and mixed with meal ; this will bring the pigs into a thrifty con­ dition, to be finished very rapidly in Novem­ ber. It is a great mistake to stint animals iu water; 75 per cent of their weight is water. Digestion cannot co on without it Water is therefore food in one sense, and an ample sup­ ply should bo provided for every animal to drink when inclined. Pits for roots must Ec made where water will not stand oj the bottom; they arc dug 3 or 4 feet deep, 6 feet wide, and as long as needed. The roots are stacked in these, be- ginning at the end of the pit, and fill two feet of its length; arpnee of 0 inches is left, and another section of 2 feet in built np, and so on, in each case piling the roots up to the ground level; the spaces are then filled in with earth, and the pit will present a series of sections of 2 fest of roots and 6 inches of earth. The roots arc covered lightly at first, but when cold weather comes, put on about two feet of soil, rounded and smoothed, to carry off water. The fruit cellar should lie in readiness, but the fruit may be kept under a shed or else­ where until there is danger of freezing. In storing, put the barrels of earlier ripening sorts nearest the door. Provide ample venti- l.ition nndcr control, and tight, easily man­ aged window shatters; in mild weather, open at night and dose during the day. The essentials arc : good cider, a tempera­ ture ef 709 , and us complete erp-Murc to the air as possible. The devices offered act upon t a principles of exposing eider to the air in shallow trays. A eask half filled with cider, with bung out, in a warm room, will become vinegar mnch sooner than a full cask,bunged up in a cool cellar. Vinegar-making is a sort nf fermentation greatly facilitated 1>y a kind of low micro- acopic f l*n t popularly known a* the "mo­ ther” of vinegar. Placing cider in old casks containing this, and mixing cider with old vinegar, hastens the process. Dairy-Women. On largo dairy farms in tins country the milking is of necessity done by men; but on smaller ones it wera batter, in many cases, that it should bs done by women. They seem to un lerstand hoW to do It almost intuitively, and cows themselves prefer to be milked by them.' It is said that they frapicntly ac­ commodate themselves to womcn-milkcrs, while they refuse •• to letdown” or yield a r.adyflow to man. It was form sly the cose, when the occupations of the da:ry maid were considered among the pleissntest duties w sieh engaged the attention of th j da igh'ers of our web to- lo farmer*. Milking cow-i fit known to b: on J o’ ths most healthful of the rural employ nonts. The avanon witch. g’.rls of the pres mt day have to this branch of dairy work arises in part from the unfavorable Condition* under which they are frequently roqnired tipsrforin the service .-exposure to •torms untimely hours, filthinersof ths stables Or barn-yard, Jong distances to carry the milk, etc. These, where they exi«% are valid objec­ tin', but they arc •uch as may readily be re­ moved. flow to Choose a Plow* Plow* frcqnwflv nanny those who un them in » most mysterious manner. They refuse to ran evenly in the ground nud refute to keep to the land as they ought to da On ex- emitting them nothing seems to lie wroqg. Every properly shaped plow ought to have a slight cmcavity along ths bwi of the bpd aids,of one-eighth or three sixteenths of an infchso that the implement will “*tek” into tjie ■oil and run steadily. This'cavity may be shown by hiding a steel square to the "bottom of the plow. If this part is-canvex, osit not nnfrequently is, no matter how high'a reputa­ tion the maker of the plow lias, it will not •lay in t ie ground, and will annoy the plow­ man till the aril is remedied. The land side of the base shoal I also l>o slightly concave, to the tame eljeat of- one-e ghth of an inch or more, and never ought to be convex or bulging under any circumstance*. If those app*reit ly trifling items are properly attended to a the limo of selecting a plow, much trouble may be avoided which often seriously per- plexos tho.plowman, and causes him to lose much time which may thus be saved. Growing Einilnx in the Kcekc* The lienutiful w inter climber—the graceful qnecn ofjdecorative vines—is adapted alike to , the green-honsa an.l conservatoiy. This plant is n speciality with Boston florists, by all of whom it is ext msivcly grown as a house plant The seed should ba sown in a box, or in pots, in the house; should be kept moist till the young plant appears. The seeT being rather «low to germinate yon must not think it bad if it does’ not make its appearance in two weeks, T io young plant should bo pot­ ted off into three-inch pots as soon as they are three or four inches high. Once a year the ball s should ba allowed to dry off and rest; they will start into growth again in about six week*. The vine docs not require the full sun, but it Will grow in a partially shaded sit- uation- It ca i be trained on a small thread oernrs the window or around pictures.

At the city of Medina, in Italy, and nliontfour miles around it, wherever the earth is dug. when the workmen arrive nt n dis­ tance nf sixlv-lhreo feet, they '•erne t-a abed of chalk which they bore with nn un­ gyr, five feet deep. They then withdraw from the pit before the augur is removed, and Upon its extraction1 the water bnrpts up through the aperture with grenl violence,nniTqnickly fi.h tho newly-made w-ll,which continues full and is affected by neither rains nor drought. But what isthe most remarkable in this operation i- the layers of earth ns wo descend. At the depth of fourteen feet nre found tlio ruinsnf an nncient city, paved streets, houses, floors and different pieces of mason work. Under this is found a soft oozy earth.madeup of vegetables, and' at twenty-six feet. l»rgo trees tn ire, such as walnut trees, w.th the walnuts still sticking to the stesj,and th ’ leaves nnd branches in a perfect state of pr servntion. At twenty-eight feet deep a soft chalk is found, mixed witha vast quantity of shells, nnd tho bed is eleven fict thick. Uudir this, vegetables are found again.

Ingeraoll, Oct. l«t, 1878. 251 NOTICE FROM THE I n g e rs o ll C lo t h in g H o u s e i G -E JST T XtE M JEX T , In following the pages of newspapers you have very • very often come in contact with large and overflowing advertise-: ments of the so-called Tailoring Establishments, which endeavor ' to make the great public believe tlxat they are doing business on a very cheap scale, and sometimes by these great advertise- ; rnents they take advantage of the people’s miuds. But now, ; gentlemen, comes realities. which speak facts, and if, gentlemen, you will only let judgment be niled by judgment you will ' soon see that I lay before you the truth and the truth only. In I the first. Gentlemen, just look at those who keep cutters and pay them from fifteen to twenty dollars per week. Does that look as if they can sell cheap ? I say no. Then, also, they have to pay for the making of every article they get up. Does that sp«ak cheapness ? I think not. Now, Gentlemen, I am not exposed under all these great expenses. I cut every article myself, and just as soon as my cutting is done I am on the bench. By this means, Gentlemen, I can sell cheaper and will, which you will find the case by purchasing your Clothes at the Ingersoll Clothing House. My Fall and Winter Stock is new very complete in every •article. I have also a very excellent assortment of Gent's Hats of the very Latest Styles which I am happy to tell you are tak ing the attention of the gentlemen very fast. Another advantage.—AU Cloth bought at this shop* not wanting me to make, I cut free of charge. Yours^ truly, J. H . BSSR.R.Y.IngcraoH, Oct 2, 1878.
