There is a decided lull in politi- cal matters just at the present time, and the woathe► ie too op- pressive to start an agitation of any kind. Tho lightning occasionally plays some peculiar freaks, but there is no instance on record of it having ever made a tardy newspaper su,b• soribor hurry up in his payment. The Ontario Government has very considerately resolved that the elections to fill the vacancies in the Logislat.ute shall nit` be L hold till after harvest. This,is a very proper stop, which will bo thoroughly appreciated • by the constituencies affected -East El- gin,Frontenac and South Lanark. A minister who writes to a To- ronto paper condemning the use of the lash on certain e•irninals, as inbnman, does not know what he is talking about. It has been found to be the only effective way of dealing with individuals whose animal passions lead them to crimes of violence, and all that the minister writes in opposition thereto, is only sentimental bosh. "A Wandering ?tarsctti has .not furnished the public with his ob- servations in other localities where this surroundings wore not so gloomy as those of Paris? 1~1.ad this wanderer been in tho village of Dungannon, in Iluron Couuty, on the day of the Agricultural Exhibition last Oetoktor, he would haye seen a large multitude of people for the size of the place. He would have seen the hotels doing a good business in provid- ing mettle and stabling. ifho had walked the streets fl'on: morning until after night ho would not have witnessed any fighting nor hoard any swearing. If he had boon in conversation with "people of all. shades of opinion," he would have hoard a unanimous verdict to the effect that there was not a single, intoxicated person on tho grounds or in the village. The merchants had a good day and the people were joyful. This was under Scott Act rule. The Act was re- pealed by a vote of the county last April, Had the "wandering. par- son" strayed in this direction on the 12th of last month, he would have seen in the same village a crowd of about the same size as the ono already referred to. Ear- ls' in the evening he would have witnessed a scene which would eclipse all that he behold in Paris Tho profanity which rang from one end of the village to the other would have suggested to hien that in ,his wanderings ho had come within hearing of.the music of hell Ono man (?) indecently exposed himself in the public street,others quarrelled and fought, Tho vill- age constable (as usual upon such occasions) could not .bel .found. Another constable made an at- tempt to arrest some roughs but be was so drunk himself that he could not succeed. Had "Wand- ering Parson" after beholding ;all this ,boon in conversation with "people of all shades of opinion on the temperance question" he would have boon told that there was morn drunkennoss in the vill- age that day than had been during f the Scott three cal s o 0 the entire oy Act. He would have been inform- ed, however, that the Orangemen were well behaved and loft early for their homes. This is not an exaggerated pic- ture of what wo have to submit to under license law. The folly of repealing the Scott Act, notwith- standing its imperfections, is now being impressed upon the people, by the saloon keepers, in more forcible terms than temperance men and women could command during the campaign. If the Scott Act is hard to enforce the Licensc,Act is still harder, and even if strictly observed is simply an organized school of vice where candidates aro prepared for prison cells, by order and under super- vision of Canadian law. How long shall this state of affairs con- tinue? • It• may be none of our business to suggest to the Globe how it should make up its pages, but if we had a "make up" wito put agricultural clippings or good space like tho fist page of the Globe, and telegraphic matter .s,attered hero and there though the other pages, wo would kick him down the stairs. Tho Globo should not assume to bo the lend ingnewspaper,but it should bo it. Some one points out tilt fact that every member of the Dom- inion Cabinet, excepting Hon Mr Foster, are practical opponents of temperance. Foster might just as well be included for he cast his views to'the winds when he enter- ed the cabinet. But this, in ascii' is not a valied objection against their usofuliicss,of course it'would be bolter, in the opinion cfagreat nlany,if they wero all teetotallers; But the people support them in office and the inference from this is that the majority prefer a main .:,f bad habits to those of good. i uenco a ill fro,_ the nae -room is tie* mtln. t ... ggrading._ g • that tie bar -room:: are fo.uhateins. asci A tneeting of tho executive committee of the Dominion Alli- ahce was held in .

It is well said that "he is well dressed who attracts the least atten- don." Women have greater scope for a variety of dress than men, both in styles and colors, and the invent- ive genius of the former in this di- rection is wonderful. We cannot but admire the lady who, occupying a very high position in social circles, effected a complete revolution in the Sunday garbs of her particular church. Tlhe teedency is to dress so as to attract attention;doubtless these loud glaring colors do attract, but it is the quiet and becoming shades and the plainer styles that compel ad- miration. Once more hear an old saying: "beauty unadorned, is adorn- ed the most." We once sat with a very aristocratic congregation, and everything in the dress seemed to be in complete harmony with the occa- sion. The choir was indeed a model one. The voices were excellent; the dress was modest and becoming; 'the deportment of each, member was ex- emplary, being devoid of the foolish glances and idle simperings which are characteristic of so many of our choirs. Indeed the impression made by that choir was that they were there not to be seen, nor to attract, but for the sublime purpose of lead- ing the congregation in their songs of praise to the Most High. editors di s a it l We have read offor sometimes haying kicked unwelcome and vexa- tious visitors out of their offices We have also heard of a few cases in which the editors themselves have been similarly handled in their own prlvate offices, by certain • persons who felt that they had been grossly insulted in print. It has been a query with us why the editor of the New Era bas no private office, and we fancy we have •found the answer at last.. It is a matter of personal safety. He presumes that the pre• sence of his employees, of whom a few are ladies, will deter his visitors from using arguments other than mere words. We believe that :t man is not so closely shackled by the conventional customs of society as woman is. He possesses a certaiu freedont, from many exaction, which is not allowed to woman. Whether this is just or 'not, or whether it is but a .modified form of the tyrannical customs which exist in some,, rather half -civilized places, we shall not say.
