Lucknow, Qat. aBth,1892.
INFORMATIo'N comes from Ottawa to
the effect that although the precise
date of the meeting of Parliament •dfor
the despatch of business has not been
decided upon, it is expected that it
will meet much earlier next session
'than usual, either oil the 12th or 19th
of January. This will. give reasonably
opportunity for •completing the busi-
ness of the year before the warm
weather comes again.
As exchange remarks that it is be-
coming generally acknowledged that
by belts or wind breaks of tree, craps
are better and safer, and orchards are
decidedly benefitted, in addition to
amelioration of climate. As the On-
tario Tree Planting Act has been taken
advantage of to a very limited extent
it is believed that more encouragement
is necessary, 'and. Soule propose that
land planted or preserved in wood
should be exempted from taxation.
Torvrtto News.—THE day . before fire
sweptt, their village out of existence
the ratepayers of Beeton voted down
a .by-law under which it was intended
to provide for a system of waterworks.
Even if the by-law had carried, • the
means of fighting the conflagration
would not have been ready soon
enough to save the property of the
Beetonites. But the- misfortune that
has overtaken them, is a striking
warning to the people of other small.
towns of the folly of striving to keep
down taxes at the expense of an
efficient system of -fire protection.
THE coming Presidential election in
the United'States is to be very inter-
eting because the changes that are,
likely to take place. All 'the States
will vote for Presidential electors on
November 8th next, The total popu-
lar vote in 1888 was as follows : Cleve=
lined, D. 5,538,233 ; Harrison, R.,
5,440,216 ; risk, P., , 249,907 Street,
, Union Labor, 148,105 ; Cowdry, Unit
ed Labor, 2,808 ; • Curtis, American,
1,591. The . total vote cast ' was 11,-
329,382. In . twenty-three States
Governors will also be elected in
November. Of those whose terms
expire 13 are Democratic, 9 Republi-
can and 1 Farmers' Alliance.. Next
in importance is the fact that twenty-
nine United States Senators are to be
elected by the Degislatures chosen on
November Sth. Upon the • result of
these elections will depend the politi-
cal complexion of the Senate after
November 4th, 1893.

IMMINNIIMMEINSEV
COL1J�IBIAN CELEBRATION.
On the 12th of October the pupils
of the 1st department; of•the Lucknow
P. 3., celebrated the great anniveary
of the discovery of America by read-
ing essays. A very profitable time
spent. The following is one of the
essays prepared for the occasion by
Miss Nellie Presley :
Four hundred years ago to -day.
October 12th, 1892, an event of great
importance took place- in the history
of the world, namely the discovery of
this continent. .
Christopher Columbus, the m in who
has the honor of being the discoverer,
was born in Genoa, Italy, of poor
parents, his father being a wool°comb-
ber. - Young Columbus assisted .his
father in providing, , for the family
until he was seventeen years of aAe ;
and meanwhile gaining in geographic-
al , knowlege, he made maps and
charts of the world as it was then •
-supposed to be. He conceived the
idea that the earth was round and
that by sailing west one would reach
Asia. The idea that the earth was
round was a . novel one in those days
as everyone believed it to be flat.
As the products of Europe were ex-
changed for the«se of Asia, and were
conveyed from one country to the
other over a circuitious overland route,
the great national problem was "clow
are we to find a shorter route to _1sia"
.At this time Columbus came forward
with'his ideas, laying then, at first
before the Portuguese king ; and
'reqesting seamen and vessels to main
an expedition to find the new, and
shorter route. The king scoffed at hiin
and would neither believe his stoiy or
furnish him means. It is said that Co-
lumbus' was considered such a fanatic
on account of his opinions, that when
he passed through the streets; even the
children would point to their heads ,I
and smile.
After fruitless attempts to Dain'.
assistance of the Portuguese and
English kings, Columbus again re-
turned to Spain and appeared fur" the.
second time, before the Spanish
soy( roans. This time the noble -
hearted Queen Isabella in her earnest-
ness exclaimed, "I pledge -my .crown
jowls to obtain the necessary . equip-
ments for Columbus' voyage." But
her sacnfice.was not 'required as th`e
money was., advanced without. it.
Accordingly three vessels, the Pinta,
Nina,• and Saunta Maria,were•manned
and set sail from Palos, Spain, in
September, 1492. •
.Columbus sailed in the direction of
the Canary Islands. Qn ' reaching
there and obtaining a. fresh, supply of
water he struck boldly out on the un-
knownsea. As day after day elapsed
anti noPaight of land met the anxious
gaze'of the sailors, their hearts became
wrung with superstitions fears. • In
their tenor they fancied - that huge
monsters would rase from the ocean
and devour them. They wished to
turn bink, but Columbus 'persuaded
them to sail 'a few days longer. They
consented, but, when after.the.elapse
of several days and no land appeared
the. sailors again grew discontented
and planned . among- theiuselves to
throw Columbus overhoard and turn
the vessel homeward. Again he per-
suaded
them to sail and if they dis-
coveredno land at the end of three
days, he would' be willing to return
home. At the end of that time as
the*. shades of night had fallen.
Colunibns. spied a light rising and
falling in the distance as if someone
*carrying a torch ; he called to his
officers to observe it, and as they were
discussing it, the joyful sound of.a
gun on board the Nina proclaimed
that land had Leen found.
. In the morning the sailors, led by
C'uluiul,us stepped foot on the newly
discovered land, and with joyful hearts
thanked God for chis goodness.
