Canada's Groat Exposition.
The 'Toronto Industrial Exhibition
stow known :is ',Canada's Great
Fair," is an occurenee to which
almost every Canadian looks for-
ward with pleasurable anticipation,
as it is made the oceasion for their
annual holiday outing. It is to be
held this year from the 31st August
to the 12th of September, and as the
live stock exhibitors and various
associations have agreed to have
their stock on the grounds -from
Thursday, the 3rd September, till
the close of the fair, the first week
will 7101^ be as good as the second.
'We have received a copy of the
Prize List, which is unusually well
gotten up.. Any one desiring a copy
can obtain one by dropping a post
card to Mr. H. J. Hill, `tire Manger,
Toronto. A great programme of
interesting attractions is promised.

Reminiscences of •'Uncle Tom."
Some of the biographers ofHarliet
-Beecher Stowe have made queer mis-
takes ‘,about Josiah Henson, the
"Uncle Tom" of the : story , which
brought the noted authoress her
fame. Several writers announce
that Mr. Henson died in 1871. This
is an error, as he was living and vet-
ed for Hon. David Mills at the
general election of 1882: Mr. Men-
son settled near Dresden, Ont„ many
years ago, and was an intelligent
man,. with many original qualities,
Compahati.vely early in life, and soon
after his escape to Conleda, he wrote
his autobiography, giving a graphic
account of his life as a slave. At
- that time the abolitionist, movement
° had attained great strength in the
New England States, and Mr. Men-
son male a pilgrimeg.e through the
east, Felling copies of his "Life,"
with the avowed object of obtaining
enough money to free his , brother,
then a slave in Kentucky. Ile met
with marked success, and his bro•
ther's freedom was bought. But the
trip was productive of far more mo-
mentous - results than was enlon1la,ted
on by the pilgrim. The little book
fell into the hands of flerriett
Beecher Stowe. She became inter-
ested in the man, and in the aboli-
tionist movement, and eutered on a
series of investigations that led her
to write the story, which captivated
and thrilled the civilized world, and
more than any other intlneneu aided
in the overthrow of slavery in the
States. It was not surprising that
Harriett Beecher Stowe c:lust) Josiah
Henson, tate refugee in Canada,
Whose thrilling personal narrative
had first impressed her with the
iniquity of slavery to represent her
leading character, •'Uncle Tom.''
One of the newspaper biographers
told a a story of Mr, ilensoa having
been presented with a watch by
Queen Victoria. The watch we;
really presented by Sir Powell Dux -
ton, on behalf of many British ad-
mirers,. who met ,'Uncle Tom." and
and listened to the story of his life
and work when he was in England
some fifteen years ago. When Mr.
Henson landed in Chatham. the
Dominion customs officials rr(lhie:tted
a sight of the watch, and it was
proudly produced. The tinrepieee
was promptly seized, and held until
duty had been paid upon it. Mr.
Henson always regarded .this as a
shabby piece of business.
An unpublished anecdote, tit' this
interesting than is told by lion.
David mills. When Mr. Benson
came back from England, Le told
Mr. Mills that when he went to
Windsor Castle to see the Queen, by
royal eanimand, her Majesty said tri
hint, "Why, Mr. Henson,. I heard
that you were dead." "Yes, your
Majesty," was the pawky reply: p "t
beard the same thing, but don't you
believe et word of it."
"'rnE TIDES"
The Canadian elections. are preen•
eally over and the Liberals have
gained a decisive triumph,. For the
second time in the history of the
Dominion tt Liberal administration
comes into power.. For the first
tune in that history a statesman of a
French name and of French extrac-
tion is summoned by the voice of his
fellow-eitizens to preside over the
destinies of Canada under the Union
Jack. The defeat of the Conservative
leader is a matter of indifferences to
Englishmen, but the defeat of Sir
Charles Tupper is to many of then,
the defeat of a familiar and respect-
ed personality. The fortunes of the
.election turned upon the vete of the
province of Quebec, and their
appears to be no doubt. that one
motive was decisive with the im-
mense majority of the French popa-
Intim)... They aspired to see a man
of their own blood Prime Minister of
the Dominion. We at home should
be the first to congratulate them on
the fulfilment of their honorable and
constitutional ambition.. We are
glad to see a man of French race
Prime Minister of the Dominion,
because his presence in such a posi-
tion is one more conspicuous token of
the solidary of the two races beneath
the British flag. The people have
broken out into mutiny against
their clerical chiefs.. They have
proved that, on this occasion. at
least, they. are .French Canadians
first and Roman Catholics afterwards
—a fact which doubtless will carry
consternation into the ranks of their
spiritual guides. It may be that
they have proved something more.
In the opinion of some well-qualified
judges, the Church has been losing
of late, in Canada, as in other lands,
something of her old power over the
laity: They are said to be less
docile to her admonitions in worldly
matters than they were, and even to
resent -her interference in politics.
How far the action of the 'habitants'
of Quebec may be taken to indicate
existence of such a tendency it wruld
be, perhaps, premature at present to
discuss, The fact remains that thel
Roman Catholic laity of the province
have contumaciously defied and
beaten the episcopacy at the polls.
The Remedial Bill, which unpreju-
diced persons on all sides now
generally admit to have been `ft po-
litietil blunder, has been got out
of the way, but the question which
it was designed to solve still remains
unsettled. Will Mr. Laurier be able
to falai his pledges on the subject?
Sir Charles Tupper is already re-
minding him that he has given them
-and' the priests are still strong
enough to take care that they are
not forgotten. There can be no
doubt that the Protestant and
Orange vote in Ontario was given
largely to the Roman Catholic
Liberal because he had refused to do
what the Roman Catholic clergy
wanted to have done. This section
of the majority, at all events, wil
look with almost equal disfavcGr on
any proposals in favor of the iIani-
toban Rowan Catholics, front what-
ever gnarter they may time, On
the other hand, Mr. Laurier will
have some considerable advantages
in approaehing this thorny question.
'Vile Liberal mnjority in the provin-
cial Logic! atare of Manitoba ought
to experience less difficulty in yield-
ing to the request . of the Liberal
Premier t,t the Dominion than in
.submitting to; the 'coercion' of his
Conservative predecessor. A cent -
promise 'nay be -practicable, and we
meet all desire -that• it should • be
effected. On the subjeet of tariff no
very' sweeping changes, perhaps are
to be eKpeeted in consequence of the
change of (aovernmetit. It need
hardly bo said that the new Premien$,'
and his adherents are to -day as un-'
impeachable in thein loyalty to
England as their Conservative..
rivals. There have been periods.
when the sentiments of the Canadian
Liberals towards the mother country'
were believed to be more than cold.
but all hesitation on that head has
long since passed away, and the list
of of ;jeets pec forward by them at�
their last party eonfederation, wh1Cit
has been adopte.i by Mr. Laurier as
his programme throughout the,
election he has just won, is headed
by the words, 'First and always the
connection of Canada with the
British Empire.'

Teeswa4er, July 9,—Bruce County
having sent an urgent request tottlo
Government for a lengthened visit
to the *evening dairy, arrangements
were perfected and a series of meet-
ings commenced at Langside, in
South Bruce, I
eeswtfor, however,
holds the honor thus far for large-
attendance
argeattendance and general interest.
About 125 people were present frsin
town and country, and soon after
the appointed hour, 1.30 p. in., the
Chairman, Mr. Little, opened the
proceedings, touching on the dairy
interest of the Province, and intro-
ducing the teacher, Mr. F. ,,Sleight -
holm, Superintendent of the Western
Dairy School. Strathroy, who took
charge of the meeting, and who was
ably assisted in the practical work of
handling the cream, which was sup
plied by the chairman, and putting:
up the butter by Me, H. Smith, but-
termaker at the above named insti-
tution. `
By way of opening the subject the
speaker dwelt with mueh force and
at some length upon the necessity of
an aceurate knowledge of the temper-
ature Of cream at churning time.
The straining of cream into the
churn was duly commented upon.
While churning proceeded the audi-
ence gave the fullest attention, while,
the, handling of milk, milking,
straining of milk, etc., were consider-
ed. A rather humorous presentation
of the system of milking with wet
hands drew many smiles from those
present. ,.
A farmer present desired to kno*
at what temperature it was safe and
necessary to set deep can milk for
perfect cream separations. ' '
A.-45 degrees F., or lower, for
12 hours in. summer and 24 in the
winter.
Q.—Is it necessary to have cans
submerged in water?
A. --No, but if the atmosphere of
the milk room be not pure, and good
water be available, then it would be
better.
Q. -Should the cans be left un-
covered for a while to allow the
animal odor and the heat to es-
cape?
A.—Yes, until the temperature of
the milk lowers to the temperature
of the air in the room.
Q.—Is it necessary* to air milk
under these conditions, as for a fac-
tory?
A. --No, it is not.
The audience rose. in a body to
see the butter when churning was
completed, and some little time was
spent in considering the ins and outs
of good churning, how to handle
cream ete.
Mr. Sleightholm asked the audi-
ence of expression . of opinion as to
whether butter is better worked once
or twice, and received strong support
•for his subsequent endorsatien of a
twice worked butter. It .was found
that audiences of farmers and their
wives generally strongly approve of
working butter twice. The lever
butter -worker seemed to please the
people very much, and a number
took measurements that they might
make one.
While the samples of milk were
being prepared for testing the Chair-
man drew attention to the work of
the Farmers' Institute, and solicited
an increase of membership. The
results of the testing were made the
basis of some thoughtful comments
on the necessity of thorough skim-
ming and intelligent churning. Mr.
Sleighthohn impressed upon those
resent the necessity of looking close-
r to the platter of herd selection and
imitated the lines upon which h,
must be carried on.
A hearty vote of thanks, evidenced
by vigorous hand -clapping, was ac-
corded the lecturer and his assist -
'ant.
