But that made no difference, he held 011 the same as before, with the result that his own supporters came round to his way of'dis, ponsing patronage and applauded_ Ins pluck in standing out in op- always reliable, evidently. position to them, while many Republicans became sympathisers on account of his generous treat- ment of them, This is a very strong point in Cleveland's favor, and combined with the fact that there is Ia large surplus in the Treasury, will go a 1o� g way to• • wards insuring his ••e -election. For our own part wo would be pleased to see Cleveland re-elected, because the duties will come down, and if they aro lowered ou the American side, they will, of no, cessity, be lowered on this, and anything that will contributeto the more free intercourse of the two nations should be welcomed by Canadians. The. Iiaepublicans have made a bid for the temperance vote,which is pretty strong and could turn the balance, but their getting it is another matter entirely. Radically Wrong. • For five years Lieut -Governor Aikens, of Manitoba, has enjoyed the honors and omolumente of — - supervising the actions of the Legislature in that Province, and we will assume that he has credit- ably filled the position, because be is a competent man. Isis term of'office having expired, it is an- nounced that he will be appointed to a place in the Senate. To a man of' Mr Aikens' wealth, the salary ho will derive as a Senator is of little account, for ho can very well afford to got along without it, but wo fail to see any reasonable grounds why, in his case especially,he should continuo to be the recipient of public mo• ney for which little or no service is given. With a great any people the Senate is a condemned institution, but, unfortunately it belongs to our system of govern- ment. 1f the Conservatives do not anticipate public opinion by it's abolition, their opponents must work to that end, with the assurance of its ultimate accom- plishment.

Knowledge in two lines is necessary iu order to rouse the true missionary spirit. There must be the knowledge of the facts about the awful destitution of the heathen, and there should also be some understanding of the nearness and preciousness of the Saviour whose gospel is to be preached to every crea- ture under heaven. Much tender sym- pathy suer earnest liberality can be drawn from those who do not experi- mentally know anything about the pre- ciousness of the Saviour, by simply giv- ing facts about the miserable state of the heathen.

They trust lean to know Christ for themselves. When they begin to find what .ort of a Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ is. how near, how tender, how sufficient for time and for eternity, then knowing the facts about the heathen "who never heard His name," the mis- sionary yearning must and will become the ruling passion in their soul. In order to attain a true interest in missionary work, wo need short mis- sionary talks, and by handing; thein wisely -chosen tracts, papers and Mis- sionary books to lead them to an intelli- gent idea of missionary work, and then the interest must spring of itself. But it will be deep and abiding only as' we are enabled to lead them to the living I Saviour for themselves. 1 EA( 'IIJ N'; I,r In:1:.1LI'1'% 'l'O Ttll: If interest is fairly aroused, liberality will naturally spring of itself, but much can be done in drawing it steadily forth, and guiding and suggesting as to how means may be obtained for the de- sired object.

Hess. A few years ago 1[r. C'resswcll had a severe attack of inflammation of SUltt,l•;ON: ay.. 3I,C.P.S.(;,5 and L.T.C.D. the lungs from which he never fully re- covered, and at into reale was troubled THE GREAT 1:.\`'1' INDIA with a branchial affection. IIe had au attack of this nature about 0 week ago, but nothing serious was apprehended. In fact lie felt very mu :h better o1 Tues- day and iris medical attendant had good hopes for his speedy recovery. On Tues. day evening he was able to walk around the house and sat on the verandah for a short time enjoying the cool of theeven- ingand chatted freely and cheerfully with friends who called to see hint. Be' tween eight and nine o'clock he retired to bed and soon afterwards complained of feeling sick. In about two hours rte passed peacefully away almost as if falling asleep. Mr,Cresswell was 60 years of ago although he had the appearance of a much younger man. IIe was the eldest of four brothers, two of whom, Mr. G.E. Cresswell ,of Tuckersmith, and Mr. Henry Cresswell, of Kansas City.. still survive him. He was a native of England, and with his father and other members of the family, came to Canada when quite a young man, and the family were among the pioneer settlers of the township of Tuckersmith. He was principally known, however, as an art- ist, to which profession he was greatly devoted, his high talents whining for him a wide reputation. At all art exhibi- tions his printings invariably gained a first position and most of the art gab 'erica and many of the beet private residences of the country aro adorned by works of rare artistic merit from his hand: Although highly educated, wide- ly read, and possessed of natural abilities of a high order, he never aspired to any publio position, his heart being in his studio and his profession engrossing his entire time and talents. In this, there- fore, as we hays already said, he greatly excelled. He was of a genial. social die-, position and although he never courted popularity, he had many warm friends and ardent personal admirers. He had no fatnily,bttt leaves a widow to mourn the loss of a congenial companion and ever kind aid considerate husband. • ---a C • On Saturday afternoon Mrs Mary Wolf left a small baby carriage contain- ing her 6 -months' -old child standing in front of Ranney Bros',shoe store, Lima, 0., while she went inside to do some shopping. The carriage started to run away and ran into the gutter, upsetting and throwing the child out in front of a horse which was hitched there scaring it, the horse stepped on the child's head crushing the skull. Tho mother, seeing the horse step on the child, became frantic and fainted away. It was some time before she was restored. The child lived only a short time. 'Warden Lavell of the Kingston peni- tentiary says that of 58 convicts receiv- ed since the beginning of the year two- thirds were under thirty years of age and thirteen undertwenty. Careful in- vestigation into their history showed that the first steps in the downward careers were due to disobedience to parents, bad company or neglect of the Sabbath. The majority of these in pri- son were the neglected bays of the Dom. inion, who were early left orphans, or trained from infancy in crime. Num - here of them, were helpers of burglars by the time they were seven years of age On the farm of Mr Jesse McInnes, Sullivan township, Grey conntyDr. F. A. Thomas,veterinary a urgeon,discover ed undoubted contagious pleuro-pnen- monia. The disease made its appear- ance two weeks ago, and two valuable cows died without Dr. Thomas being able to satisfactorily diagnose it. Be. fore these died a third one was taken sink and died Friday afternoon, and a Bost mortem examination clearly re- vealed pleuro -pneumonia of the contagi. one type.
