GENERAL SHERIMAN'S views upon Can-
ada and its relation to the United States
will likely prove interesting to our read-
ers, both home and abroad. Canna is
nut yet ripe for annexation, although she
desires reciprocity.
THE Stratford Times informs us that
Mr. Blake "attacked the Methodists in
a recent convocation speech." Will the
Times give a single sentence spoken by
Mr. Blake derogatory to the Methodists,
or to any other religious body 1 As
usual, the Tunes man, who we feel cer-
tain did not read Mr. Blake's ..epeech,
does not know what he is talking about.
The editor ot the Tines is notorious for
his cane abuse not only of Methodists,
but of religious people generally.
THE fate of the steamship City of
Boston, still remains a mystery, and
conjecture has ceased to be made regard-
ing her lou; but in the light of recent
developrments in the discovery of "infer-
nal machines" on ocean steamers, is it
not possible that a clue to the cause of
her disappearance has been found 1 Had
the M+JIta and Bavarian experienced
weather sufficiently rough to have caused
the jarring of the ezplodcnts which were
placed in their holds, s mystery similar
to that enshrouding the ill-fated City of
• Boston would have been their portion.

ing over huge boulders, and foaming like
an angry thing, while its roar reverber-
ates through the glen, snaking upon the

deur. A lady friend of ours having re-
turned from the glen, was speaking of
its grandeur, when a fanner who lived
not far from the scene remarked: "So

THE writ for the election in the coun-
ty of Argenteuil has been issued. Nomi-
nations will take place on the 6th of
August, and the election will be held on
the 13th. This action has been render-
ed necessary by the unseating of "My
dear Abbott," through the bribery and
corruption practised by Tom White, of
the Montreal Georette, and others of his
ilk. It is probable Dr. Christie, a form-
er member, will be the Reform candi-
date, and that Mr. Abbott will be the
Lib. -Con. nominee. The'constituency

tion and good work, the recipient of Sir
John's telegram, "Send me another ten

leftj at home to attend to Sir Hugh Al-
lan's briefs.
Aa application is about to be made to
the Town Council for a esntintation of
PasswDaJT OARP ILD, we ars glad to
learn, is still improving, having fully re-
covered from his relapse of last week.
At least, so we would infer from the
statements made by his attending physi-
cians. It is stated w sours quarters,
however, that the President is in a more
critical condition than his doetoes would
have the public believe, and that there
are but little hopes of his ultimate recx,v-
ery. The insidious gunshot wound is
not easily cured, and these is more to
tight than the first shock to the system
from fright or loss of blood. And then
again, the distinguished patient has to
run the gauntlet of a horde of ambitious
duct) as.
THE report that theDominion Govern-
ment was about to order a large number
of post card from an American firm was
denounced as a Grit fabrication, without
a shadow of foundation. Mr. Graham,
of the tirm of Woodworth & Graham, 14
New York, has been interviewed in re-
gard to the rumor, and he says: "We
did receive s letter from the Canadian
p . stal authorities asking our terms for
the supply of ten million postal cards.
Ou the receipt of the letter we forward-
ed it to Assistant Postmaster -General
Hazen at Washington, requesting per-
mission to fill the order, if desired. He
returned a favorable answer, and then
notified the Canadian postal authorities
that we were prepared to execute their
order, and would send up an estimate of
the cost as soon as possible."
AN agitation is on foot to abolish the
franking privilege at present enjoyed by
members of Parliament. We never
could see why this privilege was extend-
ed to parliamentary members, and ap-
prove heartily of any effort pointing to-
wards its abolition. If the franking
privilege were used by members as it
should be, there would, perhaps, be lit-
tle ground for complaint; but unfortu-
nately such is not the case, and until the
standard of honesty be raised in our leg-
islators, the temptation to sin, by .means
of -the franking privilege, should be kept
from them. The history of the prosti-
tution of the franking privilege, from
the time when Cockburn's boots were
franked through the post office depart-
ment of the Macdonald -Cartier Govern-
ment, to the time when Heaseon's initials
enabled the publishers of the Industrial
World, Ottawa, (Tory) to defraud the
present Government, has not been of
the cleanest.
THE matter has now been definitely
settled. For centuries and centuries the
great minds of the world have been puz-
zled as to the method adopted in the
building (4 the pyramids of Egypt.
Some there are who aver that the build-
ers of 4,000 years ago were far more ad-
vanced in science and architecture than
those of the nineteenth century. Others
claim that, when the pyramids were
building there were "giants in those
days," and that the people who erected
these mighty structures were possessed
of far greater strength than those of the
present day. In the able lecture cn the
"Pyramids," delivered by Rev. E. J.
Robinson on Monday last,we were given
a cue to the solution of the problem AS
to the cause of their greater strength;
for the able lecturer informed the au-
dience that one million and a half
of dollars were spent in "providing
onions, leeks and garlic," for the use of
laborers on the mighty works. If the
builders wouldn't be streng after such
provision for their stomachs, we don't
know anything about the peculiar quali-
ties of "onions, leeks, and garlic."

paper, in the absence of Rev. Dr. Dew -

Blacksfock, who for a couple of years
past has been employed writing editor-
ials for the Toronto Mail. This also ex-
plains the unanimity with which the
Mail seized hold of the (J,urrdian's charg-
es. It is a nice little arrangement, but
it only needs to be exposed to be fruit-
less. The sooner Dr. Dewart's holiday

t'«I Of.
On Monday evening Mat, Gen. W. T.
Sherman, curumander of the United
States' Arany, arrived at Goderich bythe
7 o'clock train, accompanied by his side -
rite -camp, CoL Bacon. The General is on a
viatiting trip, and came to enjoy the
bracing atmosphere fur which this town
has become justly famous. It is hardly
neoewary to say that his ardent hope to
experience cool weather was realised.
He was nest at the station br his old
friend and claasruate at West Point, Ma-
jor Turner, and others who had the
pleasure of his acquaintance from a
former visit, and after the customary
hand -shaking was escorted to a carriage
and driven to the residenoe of the Major.
Later in the evening Fetzer's Band
turned out, and serenaded the hero of
the "March through Georgia."
On Tuesday morning General Sher-
man, accompanied by Col. Bacon and
Major Turner "did" the town, first of
all, however, calling at the telegraph
office, to wire an enquiry after the con-
dition of the wounded President Short-
ly afterward a SIONAL representative
joined the party, and a lively conver-
sation was indulged in for some minutes.
General Sherman is a tall, straight, sol-
dier -like man, with & well -poised head.
He is spare in build, but sinewy and
well -knit in figure. His conversational
powers are excellent, and he appears to
be thoroughly costed on all matters res-
pecting the United Sates and Canada.
He is in favour of closer commercial re-
lations between the United Sates and
Canada, and believes a mistake was
made when the reciprocal relations be-
tween the two countries were abrogated.
"How long is it since you were in
Goderi,h, General 7" asked the reporter.
"About firteen years," was the reply.
"They thought I was a Fenian, then,
and as the revenue cutter, on which I
was a passenger, came into the harbor,
carrying the flags cf all nations, Col. Ross
hastened to give me a warm reception."
At this stage a telegraphic message
was placed in the General's hands, from
Washington. in effect that the condition
oaf the President was easier, with a ten-
dency��,�to improve, and a look of pleasure
passed over his countenance, as he read
it.
"I suppose you are taking good care
of Guiteau 1" was next asked.
"Yes. He will have care taken of
him until his trial. If he were not in
custody now hie life would not he
worth much. Hanging is too good for
him."
Just then Mr. James Scobie of the
Sar salt works, was introduced as a
former soldier under the General.
"Yes," said Mr. Scobie, "I marched
from Atlanta through Georgia with
you."
"You are all the better man for it,"
sententiously remarked the old warrior.
A fresh allusion having been make to
the General's narrow escape from being
shot as a Fenian on his first visit to
Goderich, he said he had a poor opinion
of the Feniana, and they would never
amount to much.
"I don't think they'll trouble Canada
again. If they do, just coax them into
the woods s few miles, where they can't
get out easily, and then go for them;
The following ars the dreision of
Judos Squirt, in the matter of the ap-
peals aipainst the decisions of the Courts
of Revision fur the town of Goderich
and township of Colborn'a.e: —
uUDERIo
July 23.
The Court of Revision of the town of
Godenoh, tiled the assessments of Iota
560, 551, 552, 554, another east half of
lot 563 occupied by Mr. Jno. Wynn, at
$2600; of part of park lot 12, con. A. 9
sores at $1808; of luab37, 638, 639, 640,
647, 648, 649 and 650, occupied by Mr.
M. C. Cameron at $9000; of part of lot
914'3 occupied by Miss Mitchell and Mr.
Newton at $1800; of part of lot 1000 oc-
cupied by Mr. Vivian at $1300; and the
personal property of Mr. Geo. Acheson
at $2600. Mr. Cameron appeals against
the first,three assessments and Mr. Ach-
eson against the last tree. I shall
deal with these seriatim The first par-
cel is the residence of Mr. Wynn, near
the Grand Trunk station, composed of
four and a half iota which upon the evi-
dence 1 value at $1500 and a re aideooe
which with much difficulty I value at
1500 and I accordingly reduce the as-
sessment to 52000. The second parcel
is vacant ground of which a sale cannot
reasonably be expected during the cur-
rent year, and it is therefore my duty
(sec. 24, Cap. 180 R. S. 0.) to value
such land as though it were held for
fanning purposes with such percentage
added thereto as the situation of the land
reasonably calls for. In so doing, 16z
the value at perhaps the high price of
$60 per acre and add thereto one hun-
dred per ceatwm on account of the ad-
vantageousness of the situation. This
assessment will, therefore, stand at,
11080 being • reduction of $720. Now,
as to the third parcel, which
is Mr. Cameron's residence, compris-
ing a large brick dwelling, con-
servatory and outbuildings, all in first
clava condition, covering about two Iota,
namely, 649 and 650 and a lawn and gar-
den covering the other six lots, let me
refer to the statutes. Sec. 23 of the As-
sessment Act, d'recta the assessment of
"real and personal property at its ac-
tual cash value as they would be ap-
praised in payment of a just debt from a
solvent debtor." Should I adopt this
basis of valuation I could nut say that
the assessment was too high. The ap-
pellant however contends that he has a
right to some reduction under section 24
or section 25. Sec. 24 provides for the
estimation of property used as. farm,
garden or nursery in the same manner as
vacant ground; but I think this applies
only to property used ezelusieelyas farm,
garden or nursery, I mean property
which would otherwise be assewble as
vacant ground and therefore should not
include property of this kind. Then
section 25 provides that when ground is
bona fide used as lawn, garden or pleas-
ure ground it shall be assessed at a val-
uation which at 6 per oent, would yield
a fair annual rental. Assuming that this
section would apply I should value the
buildings and two lots at $8000 and fix
the value of the lawn and garden at a
sum which would yield 160 or $70 per
annum, or say from $1000 to $1200.. Ac-
cording therefore to any construction of
they're a poor set," and his eyes twine- these three sections, and my calculations
led as he trade the suggestion. thereunder, it is impossible for me
In answer to the question what he to disturb this assessment. I have
fixed the valuation of parcel No. 4,
thought of Canada, General Sherman
being part of lot 933 at 11600,
placing the land about 22 ft at
135 per foot, and the building„ a very
inferior one at 1800, and the aasesainent
will be reduced to that suns. I think
that parcel No. 5, part of lot 1000 oc-
cupied by Mr. Vivian is, upon Mr. Van-
Every's statement, asseased very low at
11300, and I, therefore, decline to in-
terfere with the decision of the Court.
The assessment of Mr. Acheson's per-
sonal property is fixed by the assessors
and the Court at 12,500, but he contends
that this should be reduced by $1,750
which he borrowed when he began busi-
ness and which is still unpaid. Under
sub -section 20, of selc. 6, I do not think
he can claim exemption on this ground,
as there is no proof, nor indeed any sug-
gestion, that any part of the purchase
money of the stock is unpaid. The in-
tention of the Statute appears to be that
all personal property should be assessed
and so contribute to municipal revenue.
Were the appellant's construction of the
sections of the Statute applying to per-
sonal property correct, any person hav-
ing good credit at the Banks might from
year to year carry s discount at easy in-
terest sufficient to cover his whole stock
paid for from this fund, and thus, u
will be easily seen, all the mercantile
stocks in the Province might be exempt
from taxation. 1 do not take the appel-
lant's view of this matter, but consider
that stock should stand as assessed with-
out reference to any indebtedness to out-
side parties.
said:
"I have always wanted to see the
Canadian peninsula annexed—that is
that part of Canada from Montreal to
Georgian flay westward to the Lakes.
It would make a splendid State. It's
the only part of Canada I would like us
to get; they could keep the rest."
"What about the Maritime Provin-
ces "
"I wouldn't care for them.
"Don't You think Blaine would like to
get them,' was the query.
"He might, but I think not."
"What is your opinion of a reciprocity
treaty, General?"
"I think it would be.a good thing all
round. If there was entire freedom of
commerce it would be just as if our flag
waved over this country. However, I
think Canada suffers matt by the pre-
sent condition of affairs."
The conversation having turned upon
smuggling, a number of gentlemen gave
it as their opinion that an increase of
tariff had also increased that rascally busi-
ness.
One of the party told a good story of
a negro woman who made a habit of
wheeling a chubby little darkey across
the line in a perambulator, and selling
the vehicle when she got on the other
territory. Finally the perambulator was
seized, and the officers were thinking of
seizing the little darkey, too.
"Contraband 1" sugge.ted one of the
p arty
General Sherman laughed heartily at
this remark, and said,
"Ah, that would have been it twenty
years ago. That little darkey would
have been worth 1300 then; now he
wouldn't be worth a cent,"
On Tuesday afternoon the General
visited the Point Farm, where he was
hospitably received by Mr. J. J. Wright,
the genial proprietor. On his return to
town in the evening he was serenaded
by the town hand, and gracefully ac-
knowledge(] the compliment paid.
He left Goderich on Wednesday, ac-
companied by Col. Bacon, for Cobourg,
to visit friends in that town. After a
short stay at Colwurg, he will pprooesd to
Rochester, and thence by the Penglvw-
ia Northern R.R to Washington.

There ate two appeals from the Court
of Revision for the township of Colborne,
the one that of Horace Horton, as to
the assessment of the property of the
Goderich Petroleum Company, part of
Block C, fixed by the Court at $2,000,
and the other that ot James 0. Stewart,
as to the assessment of lot 11, cam. W.
D. at 13,800. It appears that the pro-
perty of the company was originally
assessed as four acres at $2,000, and on
application to the Court of Revision the
acreage was reduced to one, but the
assessment was undisturbed. Mr. Hor-
ton states in his evidence that the Co. is
willing to take $1,601 for the pi„poevsy,
even on time, and the Reeve and ilepr
ty Reeve coinciding with Mr. H, rtos s
valuation, 1 redoes the assessment to
11,500. The notice to the Clerk ,given by
Mr. Stewart, is nineteen days ton late,

a very great difference of opinion as to
what IS the actual cash value of any pat•

On Tuesday about six hours were
taken up with investigating an appeal
from the decision uI the Court of ltevis-
iou of the town of Winghani, trate by
George McKibben, general merchant.
We understand the following is the
gist of his Honor's finding in this case:
The appeal m's against the decision of
the Court of Revision, as to the woes -
meta of all his property, real and person-
al, including Monne. The property
known as the Beaver block on the West
side of Josephine street, saeessed at
$7,000 has been reduced to *6,800, that
of the Brunswick hotel, fixed by the
court of revision at 16,000 is raised to
16,260; that of the dwelling, placed by
the court at 11,800 is reduced to 11,750.
Upon the appellants evidence, his Hon-

property for which appellant should be

thereon 13,800. The decision of the

other parcels of real property on which
appeals have been made, is sustained

The marked improvement in the Presi-
dent's condition which began yesterday
continued steadily throughout the day,
and the attending surgeons believe the
patient has fully recovered the ground
lost by the recent relapse. He has taken
more nourishment to -day than in any
equivalent period since last Friday, and
several times expressed himself feeling
much better. The entire absence of the
febrile rise this afternoon is regarded as
very encouraging. For the first time in
more than three weeks the patient's
temperature at the evening examination
was norttiaL Pus flows out naturally
and freely through tha new incisions,!
and is of a perfectly healthy character.
After the evening dressingof the wounds
the patient slept quietly for three hours,
and awoke • few momenta since feeling
greatly refreshed. His pulse is now be-
low 100, and temperature and respira-
tion normal. The attending surgeons
express the hope and belief that the
present improvement is a permanent
gait, and that the President is on the
way, to -recovery.

to adopt this method of expressing their
