( A Sumptuous Celebration — 'Who waa There—Drinking from the Loving Cup., PREPARED FOR3 I1AbTY A London correspondent cables: The Lord Mayor's banquet was a sumptuous affair. The Lord Mayor, Sir John Whit- taker Ellis, having been created a baronet for conspicuous merit, does things on grand seale. Beeidee his salary of £10,000, he spends another ten during his one year's term of offioe. He is the most princely Lord Mayor that London has had for years, and to see hina and the sheriffs arrive in carriages that seem made all , of gold, with flunkeya behind and in front whose golden blazonry and livery fairly make one's _eyes eche, wag sight in itself, and attracted a -large oroiwi. Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone had a cordial' reception. Many Lords and meat of the distinguished men in London sat down -to dinner. Musio was represented hy Sir &dim Benedict, dramatioart by Mr. Bram Stokes, who came as the representative of Mr. Irving, and 'who will accompany him on his trip to Amerioa; American inventive genius by Prof. Grahana Bell; surgical, esienoe by Sir James Paget. Some Pf those wonderful self,inade- men of Eng- land Who, through sheer pure • enterprise and genius, outrank most of the lords in power and prestige, like Mr. John Ponder, M. P., who controls nearly all the'cables ot the world, and gem to America, next Sattir- day by' the Scythia; Sir Edward Watkin, M.P., the famous Channel tunnel man, and others, a,dded zest and variety to the distinguished assenablage c,f first-rate swells. I sat opposite Prof. Fawcett, the blind Postmaster -General, who was placed at one of the side tables, though a member of the Cabinet, while some small fry lords were, according to time-honored English precedent, given a place on the raised dais of honor. It was touch- ing to see him, with hie girlish wife and her devotion to him, helping every movement of his bands, particiularly whoa he tremblingly held the huge " loving eup." which was handed- round7--Everyagentlea- man as he takes it bows to the lady next him; she takes off the lid and holds it while he drinks; atter having quaffed, he. wipes the edge where his lips rested, haws, and gives the cup to the lady, holding the lid for her while she drinks—and so the cup passes roued. Mr. Gladstone drank most gracefully to the Lady Mayer- ess, while the Lord Mayor acquitted .hina- self with gallant and polished ease tpward Mrs. Gladstone, But it is an awkward oUs- tom and should be dropped. Many people forget to wipe the rim- of the oup, others mutter rather loudly when they: see this, "What a beast," and some highly decolletees ladies look exceedingly bare when they stoop low over the cup. . The dinner was superb; the speeches were fair, though Mr. Gladstone was very non -committal. The Lord Mayor was generally voted a most delightful host. • A HEROIC ENGINEER. How He Stuck to His Post,. though Enveloped in Flames, AND THE FLESH DROPPED FROM HIS HANDS. A locomotive engineer on the Northern, named Gibson, wits brought to his home in -----:--ae--Torouto on -Saturday aufferingfrona-terrible burns sustained while manfully doing his duty wlaile on the way feona Gravenhuist on Friday night. The accident apparently arose from a new spark arrester Iseing tried on Gibson'e engine, which prevented the draught, and caused the door of the fire box to fly open and envelope the cab in flames. Gibson stuck to his post till he • was able to reverse the engine and driVe her back , to the nearest station, Orillia. Had he not done so a collision with the • express train would have been inevitable. Another account saye There was -a blinding flash of flarcie, the furnace door opened with a crash, and a shower of red hot coals was driven out like 80 nauchgrape- shfireman,i ot. Mr. Little, the was n the tender at the time, thereby escaping injury. But the engineer was not so fortunate. He was sitting at his post on the right hand side of the cab, and attempted tii open the window lookiog for wood, and by olinabing out esoape the flames from the furnace. In this, however, he failed. He could not retreat to the tender on account of the flames which streamed backwarda as the train dashed on at a speed of twenty miles an hour. The only alternative, therefore, was to try athe side window. This for- tunately was open, and by climbing out and resting with one arm on the reef a the cab, be was enabled to pre- vent his body from being • burnt. One foot, however, was ineide, and though protected by the boot, was badly burnt. During all this time he held bravely on to the lever .until one of his fingers was almost burnt through, and he could bold on no longer. • He had not sufficient power, from the position in which' he was in, to shut off the steam, and the engine kept rattling along at about the same speed. Gibson, feeling that he Was growing weaker every minute determined, to make an effort to reach the tender, as his cloths were being burnt off him. Closing his eyes, therefore, he again entered the the cab, rushed through the smoke, and, • lifting the cover from the tank, plungecl*i. " When I came out," said he," Ihad one leg of my pants left and the waistband. • The skin of my hands dropped �ffin places." He instructed the firemen to wipe the smoke off the water guage andsee it the injector was working properly. These were found correct, and so the engine was reversed and run back to Orillia as quickly as possible. On reaching the Station he was carried into the ticket office and a doctor summoned, who dressed his hands and feet. • Pugin of Concentrated Agouy—A Joke Shut Nearly Reties. • "Seven hours an a coffin added ten years to my life,"the 'singular remark made ' was to your carrespondent on Thursday last, which resulted this morning in the unfold./ mg of a most remarkable tale ,of adventure. Martin Strong, a shoemaker, living—or rather dying—at him brother' d house,on Twelfth street; told for the first time of a horrible experience • through ;which a he passed :in the slimmer of 1868; when he Was' pronounced.•dead by his physician, and came within an ace, of being buried alive. Strong had suffered- •for several years, with an affeetion Of the spine. He has .been unable to attend to hie business for . several years, because •of his ailment,and now' appears to be on the verge of.the grave. "1 will tell you, all that r remem- ber," said :the !shoemaker, as he gulped dawn a half-tumblerful of brandy and water, 44 but Lobject- to having' an,ything published in a ueevepaper, and''I,' don't thank my old doctor for eendinglean, here.

From an advance report of the Experi- mental Department of the Ontario Agri - Cultural College we gather eonae important information about fattening stook. Twelve different experimentse-exchanged with three different sets of animals, carefully oonduoted in every respect as regards equal conditions of ,management, weighings, uni ferm selection of animals, and weather influenoes, were made; and should give some clear indications of what certain foods are capable of doing in the produc- tion of youvg beef. The suni -and eub- stance of the whole series of experiments are thus briefly. stated: Corn has given a dairy inorease-per head of L91 lbs. ' • pease has given a daily increase per head of1.83 lbs. ; oats has given a daily increase per head of 1.60 lbs. • As will be observed, the qnantities of food consumed were practically alike in each -- case, so that the only remaining question is price of grain. Thie varies muoh every season, and may, therefore, be left to those intereetedewitla-the note that -at -the -proper time of the year, corri,.peas and oats can be had and laid past mequantity; at one bent per pound eabli, namely ;5& bents per bushel for corn, 60 for peas and 34 for oats. Taking this view, which of them has produced the oheapeet beef? • - Corn -2,243 lbs. gave 464 lba. increase at a cost of 4 8-10o per lb. Peas -2,297 lbs. gave 445 lbs. increase at a cost of 5 2-10o per lb. ' Oats -2,267 lbs. gave 389 lba. increase at a oost of 5 8-10o per lb. • Or, in finishing an average steer from let October to lst of June, the GOBli for grain would be : • • By corn $20 75 BB YYWP° ael!iage h with 1,000 head of cattle : 22 50 25 10 Corn Peas 2,250 Oats • ,; , , • 2,510 Comment is Unnecessary, though the end The following generalizatiOn of facts gleaned frond repeated experiments should be of much value to farmers and stock growers: a.

Practically, foods give results according - to their chemical analysis, when combined, or mixed, to 'suit the particular animal system. Fexample, a mixture of corn., Peas and oats, will give better:results than corn, alone, although 7 per cent. lower than nutritive properties.
