That inay be, but good taste is iiot eszerything. Some thinge.which pese for good taste its vertain circles are very far from having ens thing to slo with the geuulne article. Some of the most successful workers in the field of religion and practical believe' - mea have .not beeee gifted With lintich "good Mete,'" but they have hed some- thing better and greatly to be prefer- red. If devils are east ,out, that is the 'great thing, 1.f the demon of drink is put to flight, arid the lieshly devil is forced to ootne out and to leave its vic- tim, it may be weak and dishonored yet at last elothed aud in his or her right mind at the feet e Christ. If the foal-moathed are led to fear and roath ; if the liar becomes true in his revery utteranee, and the thief is so aShanged that he could be eafely •trust - sed, with uncounted gold; if the prodi- esal "comes to himself," and the eubli- lean cries, "God be merciful to me a sirreer," it matters 'very little, though 'vowels be sadly misused, and the great - :noir is such us would have made Lind- ley Murray go into fits. The Salvation- ists claim, and, we think, will reason, that they have done some very genuine :curd atthe same time thoroughly good work. They have their living epistles, avhiolt have the marks of being genuine 'They have many rescued waifs who Are proving by their lives that their ,conversion has been real. They e'vi dently attract many whom other relit, lolls agencies have,always repelled. A poor state of affairs it infest be for peo- ple to be continually snarling at those who, for soul-savreg, are apparently those successful than themselves, an 'feet the way in which this "Army*" has been we -loomed shows that it meets a felt want, just as the Methodist move - did a little more than a century sinc. It is, to be sure, yery evident e hat too many even in Canada are per. ignorant of the very first princi- p'es of true freedom. They need mis- sionaries sent to them very badly- It is a shame a,nd a scandal that there ehould be any town, village or city irj our wide Dominion where an unarmed, heipless and humble set of men preach.' ewe the Gospel in their own way and. 4iccording to their own lights can be , violently assaulted and have "liberty of prophesying" forbidden them because their :midis consuming and their gram - r max noste of the best. Nobody forces any one to listen. If they ,stop no thor oughfares, break no laws and do viultmce to no one, then the civil 41uthorities are bound to protect them ab all hazards and with, if necessary, All the force that is at their disposal. A Fatal Railwasr Smash-up Near St Thomas. About midnight last Sunday night a disastrous and fatal wreck occurred on tlie London and Port Stanley rail- way, about two miles from St. Thomas The wrecked traitt was composed of Olirtee'S refrigerator cars, which were loaded with fresh Meat for New York. Oa meeting the city the axle of a car ((beet the centre of the train broke, while running at a high rake of epeed. Tire broken car jumped the track, and itnuiediatery the thirteen following care 1.iled on top of it Conductor Manley and the rost of the crew, all of Whom le:onb4ea to poitit EclWard, fortunately escaped serious injury, but soon after 'the wreck cries were heard issuing from the mass of debris and earch was at onee Cilinanencecl. resulting in the linding of three persons pinned down the wreck. The first wan foil nd, NV li ose name is not knOwn, sees easily ieseuecl and it is thought will recover, although badly squeezed.

In Michigan it is said that meols of the clover felled tcr grow, and that-ou the whele the grass erop will not average over 80 per 0014, In Missouri the hay crop is geod. The inland districts of PPianeYlvnia report that the Hessian fly which lied entirely disappeared for the past :two years, is again ravaging the telheat fields, and acres of it are dying in con- sequence. It is thoup4ht that not more than half a crop will be realized, Dispatolies from ,Chester state that tho eberey crop in Delaware is rahnoet a compIete failure, Very few cherries have been shipped, and they are of a very prier quality. Cherries will, there fore, be very 'high priced, The .outloele for some of the other small fruits is not encouraging,. Crop reportsrfrom Manitoba and the extreme Nortimest; say that the pros- pects for a, plentiful„harvest are much better than last year. Several locali- ties ha.vejust been visited by boeritiful rains, and farmers are confident of a good crop, The first crop bulletin of the Manitoba department of agricul- ture, which has just been issued, shows an increase in the wheat area over that of last year of 47,693 aeres, while the areas rof oats and barley show a de. crease of 5,854 and 13,455 acres re- spective/es,. Late advices from Dakota are to the effect that in the wheatVeat extending, 100 Miles west of the Missouri liver, crop prospects were never better than to -day. Everything points to the larg- est yield the district has ever produced The weather during the last week has been favorable sey eral light rains hav- ing followed by srool weather. Trie fanners are much elated with their prospects, as for a year or two past the conditions in this district have been very unfavorable for crops, and the people were (discouraged. ,._44.4 • County and General.

East North- umberland, has a large horse -breeding establishment at Colborne. He states that never before had there been a bet- ter demand or a better price for a good breed of horses. The best purchasers are Americans. The English demand is constant and the price good and al most uevaried, but the American. market will take alithe horses that can be bred in Canada foe years to come, and the piices are much better than those on the other side of the Atlantic, Mr. T. H. Preston, manager of the Winnipeg Sun, was in Toronto last week, He was of course asked to give his view of the situation in Manitoba,. He is fully impressed with the impor- tance and gravity of thepreaent Force, he believes, will not prevent the building of the new railway to the botedary. The Provincial Govern - Merit has acted apparently in pod faith, the Legislature is unanimous and the inert who form the backbone of the Province are praetically united. With their natural leaders in place, should force be 'used to prevent the beildieg of the road it will be mot by force.
