'rhe prevailing idea among Canadians,
and ethers in the East, seems to be that
winter out west, itt the great "Lone
Land," partakes entirely of an unpleasant
nature, without any redeeming feature
whatever in its character. Being some-
what acquainted with a western winter,
and knowing from experience that there
is as much of suaahine as shadow in it,
permit me here to mention seine of the
facts with which I am impressed, in vin-
dication ' d my statement. Cold weather
we certainly have, we.do not pretend to
deny it ; and "blizzards" too, enough to
make the 'winters spicy. The country
would lose its reputation if it kited ti,
.produce an occasional "blizzard". But
-we have f:ae weather, torr -clear, bright
days in which it is a luxury to live.
Often in the clear, early morn, the first

neighbors' houses close nt hand (though
none are nearer than half a toile) drawn

tee On such :i morning we can see for
miles around in all directions, and some
have declared they could count the hous-
es in a town !1 or 10 miles distant. We
have known the thernrnmeter to fall to
f'O° below zero, but if it ranged so low in
Canada, the conse.Iuences would he seri-
ous, because. for some reason or other,
which some explain satisfactorily, we do
trot feel the add hereto such an extent,

cury to fall tot few there. A more
healthy c'ouutty Gould scarcely be found,

scarcity of rain during; the winter months
preventing at "thaw," all underfoot is
dry and conifurtabie ; and in cense-

valent ns they are fatrtlier East. In

A deputation of manufactures of agri
cultural implements were at Ottawa last
week, to urge upon the Government the
necessity of imps Bing an additional ape
citic duty upon all imported agticultural
implements, in order to give Ontario
manufactures a monopoly of the busi-
ness of Manitoba and the Nurtls-Welt.
The gentlemen, composing the depute
tion are Messrs. 8. Crawford and John:
Elliott, London ; R. Cochrane, Brant-
ford : and Cockburn and Reekie, of
Hamilton. They waited upon the Min-
ister of Finance, and complained that
the fanners of the North-West were ob-
taining their agricultural implements
from 't. Paul dealers. The total valve
of agricultural impleutenta imported in-
to Canada last year was $79,0x9, paying
$19,750 duty. Of the total importa-
tions, Manitoba took $46,555 worth, all
being fruni the United States.

Sir Charles Tujiper will leave Canada
a disappointed man. He fully expected
that by this time he would be leader of
the Conservative party. Sir John fre-
quelitly said in his apeuchea that he did
not iutend to remain much lunger in
public life, and that Sir Charles Tupper
would succeed him. Sir Charles took
him at his word, but Sir John still holds
en to the leadership. It is said that Sir
Charles had a definite promise from Sir
John that the change would take place
after the ,r.>' session of the last parlia-
ment., uut as session followed session and
and no change occurfed. Sir Charles
began to see that he was being duped.
Years ago Sir John used to spnit of re-
tiring. He used to say that he had "cul-
minated.' But there he is at the head
of his party, apparently as vigorous and
as lively as ever. He will never give up
up the leadership while he has stren,g h
enough to hold on to it ; and this is the
fact that Sir Charles has at last discover-
