snaugurated the Hanoverian line, and
suscended the throne in Aegust, 1714.
His mother was the grand -daughter ot
James, and his father was the Elec-
tor, Ernest Augustus, of Hanover.
He succeeded Queen Anne, who be-
came Sovereign because William. and
Mary died without issue. There were
ethers whose claims on the throne
were better than Anne's, and later
than George's in the matter of blood,
but Romani Catholics were excluded,
and so George, who had seen service
as a German soldier in the Lowlands,
came to the throne.
Domestic Unhappiness.
His accession was soon followed by
the rebellion that had for its object
the placing of the' son of James II. on
the throne. The Battle of Preston,
however, seated George firmly on the
throne. Domestic trouble marred the
gn,_ for George's wife had been sus-
ected of infidelity, and divorced some
years before he became King of Eng-
land. His on, the Prince of Wales,
sided with his mother, and their hos-
tility to each other was unconcealed.
In 1.726 his wife died, having been a
prisoner for years, and the King fol -
towed her to the grave the next year,
as had been foretold by a soothsayer.
His death came with tragic sudden-
ness when he was on a visit to his
beloved Hanover. He was seized
with a fit in his carriage, and perish-
ed before he could be hurried to the
nearest Royal residence.
Another Bad Fathee.
George I. is described as "a man
et moderate faculties, a cruel husbend
and a bad father, with grow vices, but
by no means a bad King'." He did
not attempt to interfere with the was the best of the George's despite
liberties of the Enghsh people; and his blunders. s

Minister, saved trouble. His son,
who succeeded him, was George II.
Neglected by his father in his youth,
he did not prove by his treatment of
his own son that his father had mis-
read his character. Nor had he the
excuse of George I.—a detested and
unfaithful wife. Wilhelmina Dorothea
Caroline, daughter of the Margrave
of Brandenburg, was a woman of high
eharacter, who, as Princess of Wales,
was far more popular than ether her
husband or his father.
Minister, who read his character, and
by rainisterive to, his avarice and love
of ease got along with- little frietion.
Even after the final defeat of the
Walpole Ministry, George H., le a
most unconstitutional manner, con-
tinued to take his advise, George
II., • like his father, was a thorough
Hanoverian, and his love ft r his na-
tive land disgusted hie Huge* sub-
jects, especially when I. permitted it,
and his fancy for military display„ to
lead him into the war of the Austri-
an Succession. eehe war adaed some
lustre to British arms, espeeially at
Dettingen, and later at eteloden. nut
from the' point of view of the tax-
payers, it was a blunder and a costly
one. Like his father, George IL died
suddenly.
The Third George.
The next George was the grandson
of the previous one, and succeeded,
him to the theism, to the accompani-
ment of loud rejoicing. Be at least
was English born, and the people were
a little weary of their German kings.
Whether he was serer perfectly sane
may be doubted; and one of the chief
reasons for the loss of the American
colonies to the British Crown. was his
obstinacy and bigotry. The whole of
his long reign was passed in a struge
gle against liberal ideas and institu-
tions. It was also chequeredby
numerous wan, through which, thaliks
to the genius of Pitt and Nelson, and
Rodney and Wellington, England
passed with glory. Toward the close
of his reign, memory of George's, op-
position tO all forms of liberalism
faded, and the people rejoiced in his
virtues of morality, and piety. He
His son, George IV., was a profli-
gate, and a born campanion of the
wildest bloods in his kingdom. His
court became notorious for its im-
mortality, and after.. his death the
Duke of Wellington, who was not a
flatterer, said: "He was the most ex-
traordainary compound of tafleat, wit,
buffoonery, obstinacy and good feel-
ing—in short, a medley of the most
opposite qualities, with a great pros,
ponderance of good—that I ever saw
in any character in my life."

In a letter in this issue the old
question is raised as to the camper-
atiive advantages of life in the coun-
try and life on the farm. Writing
from an experience of farm life ex-
tending over more than hall a cen-
tury, this writer declares that the
farmers of o?der Ontario form the
richest class in the Province. The
great majority are, he says, com-
day than Toronto real estate. .
With one statement made' by Mr.
Whyte The Sun. feels unable to agree.
It is probably true, as he says, that
the exodus of young and old mett
from Ontario farms to the West will
continue. .

ment that those who are moving are,

of cases, acting wisely. The fact tbat

the Canadians lost two killed and 15

Grenadiers, and the Midlands each in

the grand attack.
It was expected that the final charge
would be made on the following day.
Early on Monday the firing was re-
sumed with energy. At 4 o'clock in
the afternoon, 'Gen. Middleton, be-
lieving the enemy to be utterly ex-

The great fact that the fanner is

;Merman that the city as a whole is
,given an advantage at his expense.
The average man in the city has the
same cause of complaint as Mr.
Whyte himself, viz., that unjust leg-
islation has enabled a few of those
living in cities to amass fortunes at
tee public expense. Possibly the lar -
Cilqest individual fortune in this city

Scores of other great fortunes owe
their existence to a tariff
which enables manufacturers to oharge

as well, twenty-five percentmore
than actual value for some of the nec-
essaries of kee.
Another fact, barely touceed upon
by Vim, should not be overlooked. A
good deal of the apparent wealth of
the city is fictitious ; it is estimated
on inflated land values, and inflated
house values. There are, as Vim
states, many farm residences which
would sell for less, with a hundred
acre farm thrown in, than similar
residences, placed on a lot barely
big enough to hold them, will sell for
on a good residential street in Tor-
onto. Such a condition is clearly
unnatura! ; either land values must
be unduly depressed in the one ease
or unduly elevated in the other. Both
conditions exist. No commodity, on
the 'market today is so cheap, actord-
ing to actual value, as an Ontario
farm there is no more risky buy to

Probably everyone knows why fresh

paralyzed if they did not change. It
is not that the women pine for a
change. On the contrary, they are
heard frequently to complain when
some fashion "that just suits me"

unobstructive style is annoureeed. The
idea is to force a -woman to buy whe-
ther she is able or not. Sometimes
the mill -owners find it profitable to
continue a certain style for several
years. Usually, however, it is a mere
garniture, A case in point is Irish
lace. It has been fashionable for
seven or eight years. Frankly ugly
though it is, according Ale our authori-
ties, its manufacture is continued be-
cause the mill -owners have been. able
to "earner" the. production and reap

in the past three or four years, to
greatly cheapen the process of manu-

The position of the T. and -N. 0,
Railway as the most important fac-

the transcontinental system of the
Grand Trunk Railway will necessit-

provements and betterments in its
line. Surveying parties have been out
for several years seeking a better
routesout of North Bay, and it is be-
lieved that the cornmissian will be
prepared shortly to recommend the
reconstrectiou of the first 34 miles
along a route that will cut in half
the heavy grade that now so serious-
ly interferes with the economical op-
eration of the road, as well as eli-
minate to an almost equal degree the
sharp curves that prove so great a
strain on the rolling stock and road-
bed. Much criticism Was plissed. on
the original location of tit line, but
it was met with the expert opinion
of eminent 'engineers, who atated that
the character of the country present-
ed too many difficulties to permit of
any alternative route without an en-
ormous expenditme of moneys That
this decision was not well founded

commission for several years, and it
was decided to put surveying parties)

view: The idea of a route to the east

view.
The proposee, although at, preeent
not in definite shape, is believed to
provide for the projection of a new
roadbed in a westerly direction from
North Bay for a distance of about
five miles, then curving to the north
and running easterly, until the pxesent
line is touched again at a distance of
34 miles front North Bay. This im-
provement, it is estimated, will en-
tail ari expenditure of about $1,250,-
000, but this sum has not been pro-
vided this year, as the work cannot
be undertaken for ,some time. The
engineers' report, however, that the
maximum grade) on the line as pro-
pesed, will n,ot exceed ,7, in place of
the present grade of 1.4 per cent. The
saving that such a cheep will effect
in the operation of trains is shown.
by the fact that it will almost double
the hauling capacity of the engines.
The engineers else claim that the
curvature can be reduced from six
degrees, as at present, to four de-
grees, and perhaps three. This will
also mean a large reduction in ee-
pense by ;the wear and tear on rolling
steels, cm • wheels and rails. When
it is considered that there was ex,
paneled last year $35,000 for, new
rails on the section of track to be
changed, an idea may be obtained of
what will be gainedty reduchsgs the
gradients and curves. While the • al-
teration of the route will not be put
into. effect this year, cohsiderable
work will be done in the improve -
Mont of the lino, as ie shown by the
fact that $750,600 has been placed
in the estimates for betterments.

ship that the jury be polled,"
One by one the 12 men were asked
by name: "Do you find the prisoner
guilty or not guilty ?"
"Guilty," came back in whispers.
Then followed a breathless pause.
"Gentlemen of the jury," began Jus -
Wee Teetzel, "you have arrived. at a
verdict which I must say was fully
justified from the evidence. I trust
that you may never have suelf a re-
sponsibility again as you have had to-
day."
Passing of Sentence.
Mr. Blackstock moved for sentence
and the prisoner was told to stand up.
McLachlan swayed to his feet, and
leaning one elbow on the rail of the
dock, rested les cheek in his hand.
And thus he stood staring glassily
and evasively past his lordebip.
"Have you anything to say as to
why the sentence of this court should.
not be passed upon you ?" No an-
swer. Mr. Henderson stepped over
beside the box, but the 'prisoner heed-
ed not hie counsel's touch on the
sheulder.
"Your lordship," faltered Me. Hen-
ders.on, "we have placed ourselves be-
fore the country ; have been found,
guilty and I suppose must abide by
the remits. I must ask your lordship
to be as lenient as possible. It is one
of them: distressing eases where your
lordship must exercise your duty,
and I would but ask that you give
us all the consideration you can."
One of Worst on Record.
Addressing the prisoner Judge Teet-
zel eegan : "Archie McLachlan, after
a trial that has been eminently fair
in all respects, and after your most
able counsel has .done all that could
be done in your behalf, it has beea
found that you are guilty of one Of
the worst crimes. in the annals' ot
Canadian law. It is not for me to
lecture you, but. I must say that the
circumstances) make it the most
shocking murder that 1 have ever
tried. There is not •a gingle mitigat-
ing circumstance.
"You seem eto have lost all the bet-
ter instincts of a man, violating your
solemn vow lo your -wife, have been
unfaithful to her who was under all
circumstances a: faithful, -true. wife to
you.. She was the mother of your
ehildren, and the most shocking part
of it is, not only your wife did you
kill, but two of your offspring. I,
doubt if there is a more horrible mur-
der in the annals of crime, ,
"'I shall give you anopportunity of
making your 'peace with your Maker."
Then followed 'the formal words oi
the death sentence,
