Campbell, merchant, sued Mr. Charles Edmondson fora• bill of goods, purchased by. his wife at various times after he (Edmondson) had advertised that no one wasto give anyone goods on ac- count, without his written order, The de- fendant contended that his wife was extrava- gant, that Mr, Gamppbell•and others had been conspiring to make Blinn what he was—a poor, down -trodden fellow, ground down to earth with burdens too heavy to be borne. What afforded an almost infinite fund of amusement, both to the judge and court Was his . perais- tenee in examining all the witnesses, -of whotn Ino had dome nine, himself, ashing questiaus with a view to establishing a reputation for himself of being willing to, support his family, and all the. while bringing out 'statemci?ts from the witnesses , the mast damaging to himself and his ease. .And hlthough many of the questions were most irrelevant to the case, and such as vrould under ordinary circum- stances have caused the judge to suddenly sit, an him, be allowed the fun to run on on :for about an hour. Put tho dolt/tinging point, and one which .convulsed' the • whole court with roars of laughter, came after HisIroner had given judgment against defendant for the 'in amount, and told hirg toleavo the plat- form, when he produced a large I3i.b;e, and opening it at the 3rd. chapter of 2nd Timothy,' began to rend the judge a lecture : • ,, This kuow also, that in the last days .perilous times shall come, 'dor men shall bo lovers of their own selves, covotons, &e.

'Y': Ttmos.: e is one thing to bo said in favor of this fortunate young main which should not be omitted in any .impartt ,,estimate of his character, ^ Be has a clean social record. the ldk]ty of the times in• regard to " wine and women" have left -no blemish on his name..: Whether it was his earnest views ° of Life that made him unpopular 'with 'the gay friends and companions of the Prince of 'Wales, or some t' piggishness"•inhie manner, I cannot say, but he has held himself aloof from what may be called society. dissipation.' In the present condition of things, it should speak volumes in -favor of tho manly earnest-•= nese of the Queen's son•in-law that lie has. lived his short court life outside the circle Which" has ctonit• so much:.to discredit • the Prince of Wales and the -Duke of .Edinburgh. Not that the Marquis is 'popular, but I sus- pect he has suffered from the personal cliafa: vor'in which his fattier, the Duke of Argyll is held. His Grace's maunor has .the arrogance of Jeamss de la niche, with the insolent os- tentation of a vain aristocrat. The Marquis is free from this protentiousness, and in a manner and disposition) it is said, resembles his moa tiler, who was greatly beloved by„'all who c a gentle, hi dl tis` knew her well She was ge , n y posed lady, and Candida may consider itself lucky' thatit is her temper, anti not hit'fa• tiler's, Mutt the Alarquis of Lorne inherits ; though, I suspect-, Lord BeaconsOold would. never have promoted him to such state if he had been less like Lady Argyll and more like the present pompous head of the famous Clan Campbell.A Liberal, like his father, of pro. pounced views, the Marquis of Lorne 4idnot, however, agree with Messrs. Gladstone, Bright and Jonkius, an the eastern question. no was in favor of a broader and more con- servative treatment of British interests. In this respect he was at ono with the court party and there is every r°easoa to believe that he was thoroughly sincere in standing, on this occasion, octside his father's platform.. There are those who • credit this anti -Liberal attitude to ” native discretion," but sobriety of the -young statesman's character, his nate- ra1 thouh tfulnessn aud rhio independence Which he lids shown i • wn in social affairs are: fa. 0 vorablo to the view' that his political conduct was theresult ofthorough donscientiousnese, ' . _ Turkish wheat growing has proved very suocessful in.

Eaton, of this city, has in his possession a photograph of a cat hovering a brood of chickens, .the story of which is as follows " A hen, after hatching out a brood of chickens, sickened and died, ,leaving the chickens •in a helpless.and"forlornstate, • An old eat on the premises seeing their condi,. tion; had pity on them„fond decided to take careof them. They however, de- dined . to listen to her overtures, and ran Whenever, she approached, ' In vain 11ie-paired,and purred, and used all her. eat vocabulary to assure them of the purity of her Motives: At hist she scratched in the ground; and bringing out a'worm and outlying it ns near, the chickens as they would allow her to; ap- proach, laid it down and withdrew. Presently one oftbeni saw` it arid, ran to. pick it,up. The cat repeated the . ex- periment till the chickens, gaining con- fidence, would run to her whenever they saw' .her scratching . in the ground, Thug they •canie to follow her, and she fed them.. -When night came their. in- stinct tattght there tO get under the cat for shelter, andao she hovered them as best she could ev'erynightan'd fed' them every day. The affair was so strange that the facie of it went abroad, and a great many,peoplo came to .see that cat. An artist took his apparatus to the place, and just as the chickens gathered under their feline step -mother for thenight he took their photograph, a copy of which we saw. There the chickens are as contentedly. gathered tinder the cat as Aver a brood under a hen. There too,. is the cat, seemingly conscious of her inability to do th- occasion fell justice; but, -with . lode a lodk of 'motilierl benevo- lence) she was doing her. best to meet the responsibilities she had assented.
