The perfect skeleton of a humming bird took our attention because of its tiny proportions. Teeth, bones,birds, bats, miles, we drove into the grounds of the College. It reminded us of lin English estate, well kept, save that the tress were different. The broad animals, savage and tame, and also so guarded that they could not do you any harm, one savage wild cat showed his teeth in a moss disagreeable manner,'but, when we were• assured that it, had no stomach, , we were relieved. The stomach had, been re' moved some time ago.. How the creature managed to exist we can't say; perhaps it was dead, though. We never like to ask .too many questions at these museums for 'fear of being gazed upon as ignorant. We then, proceeded down stairs again and visited. the chemical depart- ment, where the young men, 'that is, the progressive young men, are taught to take an ounce of soil and by analy- zing'it find out how many beans will grow to a pod, how many pods to a square foot and how many oats to an acre it is profitable to grow with, ont hurting ' the land. They have most perfect appliances for study and all appeared interested.

Then,the college broke upon"our view. We ex- pected —we need not say what we ex- pected. , Perhaps a one horse institu- tion, a small establishment with a big sounding name—but here was an A 1 at Lloyds, classed and perfect. The buildings are thoroughly spacious, 'yet thoroughly compact; roomy, without had within. After our warm drive, we were at once invited to the cool parlor. of the Professor's lady and there, in the downy fastnesses of reoliums, that fitted into every crevice of the human frame, we sipped nectar in the shape of sparkling lemonade in shining gob- lets from the bands of beauteous faries.

The novel supper was served on the Pare soilage lawn, where a couple of social hours were spent. Afterwards the Foresters' Hall was filed with a fine' audience prepared to enjoy the musical and literary treat.; Mr J Denman sang "Oh 1 for the bloom of my own native heather," in a fine manner; he also deserves credit for his skill and perseverance in con- ducting onducting the practices of. the Dairy- maids.' Miss Hattie Reid's recitation "The cow and the Bishop," was enter- taining and also the duett, "Where are -you going, my' pretty maid 1" by Miss Reid and Mr Kersey Jackson.

The Court of Revision was then closed and he showed how 'it had failed to keep the people of this country from emi- grating in thousands to the neighbor- ing States,how it discriminates against the. poor man and in favor with the rich. He went through seriatim a list of articles of daily use, which in the coarser' forms in whieh they were consumed or' worn by the working classes were farmore severely, taxed than in the finer forms worn by the rich.. The National policy INCREASED THE PRICE OF NECESSITIES of life. Taking up, the article of spades, 'he showed that the. price in Pittel3urg was 86 lc eats for each spade, while in Gananoque:.n the home day it wail only $1.16. • This meant that the people of Canada were paying about 5210,000 a year more than those of Pennsylvania in consequence of the excessive duty. Turning to coal oil, he remark that this article cost 6i cents more a gallon in Canada than in United States because of the duty im- posed.. On a consumption of 520,- 000,000 last year the people of Canada paid $1,300,000 more than it was worth. The article,of salt was next adverted: to, an article upon which Dr Macdonald is•well qualified to speak, for he comes from the centre of the salt region. The salt men' were honest men, every one of them, he knew them all, but the National i'olicy had destroyed' their interests almost entirely., The manufacturers of Ontario were prevented from send- ing their salt to the United States' by the prohibitory duties imposed, and they were prevented_ from sending it to the Eastern Provinces 'by the ad- mission of British salt duty fee—not only British salt, but salt from y, Spain, Portugal, St Pierre and else- where. Then the, raw material of the salt manufacturer, such, for example, as centawas excessively taxed. There. fore the manufacturers were compelled to form a combine in an attempt to save their capital. The people of Canada had to pay 5600,000. more for their, salt than they ought to pity. ANOTIIEB OBJECTION to the National Policy was that it p embargp ori the exportation laced an of farmers produce, %1e quoted from practical agriculturists to show that the horse trade with America, which had been the most profitable for this county in the past, had been knocked higher than Gilderoy's kite. Taking tip the question of the production of wool, he said that farmers, instead cf realizing the higher prices they were promised for wool, had been dragged down until now they wore • getting , little more tbatt half what theyrecoived when the National Policy was adopted.
