New York, June 17. -The' Wurf.1'e
Lundon correspoudeut telet(r&phs an
amusing account of en interview he had
with Queen Victoria _t Balmoral. The
correspondent secured letters of intro-
duction to the Queeu's equereies, and
waited for the Queen at Crathie Church.
As she entered the edifice he handed his
letters to General Watk} a Wayne, and
es her Majesty Dame out the General
said, " May it please your Majesty to
accept to this presentation of • gentle-
man of the staff of the New York
Word." The correspondent says this
mine upon me like • supreme moment.
I was blind and deaf and senseless for an
instant. Then I was recalled to myself
by s poroepp ible lisp, ' The gentleman is
from the New York World.' The sad
grey eyes of the Queen looked at me as
I had-uever been looked at in my life
before. Before I could speak the Gene-
ral answered for me. " He is." l'he
Queen (with a taournful smile): " He is
as audacious as the rest of his nation."
The General then said thJ torrespondent,
humbly conveyed to her Majesty the
oungratulations of the American people
on her recovery. The Queen was pleas-
ed and spoke kindly to the correspond-
ent. She said : " I believe the Marquis
of Lorne and Princess Louise received a
good deal of kindness and attention at
the hands of Amertcane. I shall be glad
if you would be good enough to express
my proper appreciation of their loyalty."
The correspondent made a fitting reply,
after which the Queen drove off in her
carriage. Her lameness was scarcely
ueroeptible.

A few yeas ago Guelph decided to cut
loose from the County of Wellington,be-
came incorporated as a city, and goalone.
The programme wascarriod out ; but now
Guelph finds in her particular case that
the pleasure or being a "city" has its
drawbacks. The people of the county
did not like the city business ; they want-
ed to go on making corduroy roads in
the back townships with the money paid
by the townspeople, and they resented
Guelph's secession. The county coun-
c'l meetings, formerly hold in Guelph,
ars now held in any little village up the
country which chances to have • school-
house for meeting purposes, and a bar-
room for "committee" w ork. The roads
leading into the royal city are studiously
neglected ; the old, tumbledown ruin of
• county court -house, located in the city,
is permitted to decay as rapidly as it
pleases ; the customary gifts to the chari-
table institutions of the city are cut down
to the lowest notch, and in every con-
ceivable manner the broad-minded and
liberal yeomanry of Wellington endeav-
our to teach Guelph that she should
have remained a country town, with
reeve, deputy -reeves and a hig share of
the "equalized assessment." All this
was bad enough, and was not eminently
calculated to inculcate, in an impartial
observer, an enormous opinion of the
breadth of thought of the members of
the Wellington county counoil ; but the
other day the crushing climax of illiber-
ality was attained when the county coun-
cil refused to give one solitary cent to-
wards defraying the expenses of the cpm-
ing Provincial exhibition, which is to be
held this year at Guelph :-[Hamilton

Thunder Steres.
The tend3ncy of thunder -storms to
follow a comparatively narrow track is
one of their most characteristic features.
Everybody who has lived in the country
knows how these storm giants stalk across
hills and valleys, pursuing a course that
an be traced almost as easily as that of
a tornado, drenching the farms in their
Tatk with rain and shattering trees and
hayricks with lightning, and leaving ad-
joining farms untouched. In any brond
river valley skirted by hill ranges, afford-
ing extensive views, the phenomobon of
a passing thunder -storm moving at right
angles to the observer's line of sight, can
be frequently witnessed in summer. It
is like a distant view of a battle, and
when beholding it one can hardly worder
that old Thos. Robinson, in his "Short
Treatise of Meteorology," printed up-
ward of two hundred years ago, describ-
ed a thunder -storm as an actual battle
between an army of fire and an army of
water. A little of his curious descrip-
tien'is worth quoting :
"The Battle by this time growing very
hot the Main Bodies engaged, and then
nothing is to be heard but • Thundering
Noise, with continual Flashes of Light-
ning, and dreadful Showers of Rain, fall-
ing down from the broken Clouds. And
sometimes random shote flie about, kill
both men and beasts, fire and throw
down houses, split great trees and rocks,
and tear the very earth."
Although the chances of any particular
man being killed by lightning are very
small, yet the actual number of persons
thus killed in a summer is sometimes
startlingly large. Fortunately, lightn-
ing can be guarded against, and those
who do not expose themselves out of
doors daring a thunder storm are not in
much danger. in large cities, too, with
the exception, perhaps, of the suburbs,
disastrous accidents from lightning are
less frequent than in the country. -New

The Sparrow t•lasslged.
(Lancaster Farmer.)
This jodrna! has distinctly demonstrat-
ed in several editorial tapers during the
past two or three years where the spar-
row stands in ornithological classificatn.n,
and that his place is not, and never has
been, among insect -feeding birds. He
is a finch, and therefore essentially a
grain -feeding bird Mr. Soneshy says
he believes a sparrow would eat an in.
sod provided you could convince him
that some other bird wanted it; and, in
confirmation of this assertion, he says he
once saw a bluebird about to appropriate
a worm, bet he was driven off by two
sparrows, who greedily and heedlessly
seized a short string instead of the worn,
and, after a stubborn conflict, one of
them secured it and immediately swal-
lowed it, the w'^rm in the meantime
making its exit into the ground.

Chancellor Boyd lies given decisi3n on
the validity of a foreign divorce in a lase
decided by hint a few days ago. He says
a Canadian, who does not become domi-
ciled in the States, even if hs were mar-
ried there, cannot obtain a divorce that
would be binding in Canada, by putting
in • residence of a year there to found
jurisdiction in the local court. Thechan-
cellor also held that • wife living in Can-
ads,could still claim alimony on her hus-
band's return here, even with a foreign
divorce thus obtained.
EARLY SW.ARMING.-Notwithstanding
the cold spring and general lateness al
the season, Mr. J. G. Steep, Goderich
township, had a swarm of beeson the bth
inat., whioh is several da ■ earlier than
either he, or his father before him, re-
member of witnessing. It is possible
this may be tiocounted for on the supposi-
tion this as the days were generally too
oold to gather honey, the attention of
the bees was more generally given to
feeding and attending to the young bees.

TEN CLLtvroN Wszzomate.-At ameet--
ing on Monday evening of the Clinton
Bicyclists it Ras thought advisable to
form themselves into a Club. The follow-
ing officers were appointed : President,
D. A. Forrester ; Vice -President, W.W.
Ferran ; Secretary, W. H. Ransford ;
Treasurer, J. P. Tisdall ; Captain, R.
Holmes ; Bugler, T. Jackson. Jr ; 1st
Lieutenant, E. Holmes. Jr ; 2nd Lieu-
tenant, Chris. Dickson. The Club has
'about 12 members and 7 wheels, with a
prospect of more very soon. The Club
meets for their first run on Friday at 4
p. m., when a full turn out is expected.
The Hamilton rtator says :-"Alex.
Cameron, of Windsor, Ont., is a practi-
cal benefactor of his country. A street
in his town has been named Cameron
avenue, and he offers 13 for every child
born on the avenue, and 115 for twine.
Hie rate for triplets has not yet been
fixed, but it will likely be something
handsome and well worth competing for.
It is such practical population encourag-
ers as Mr. Cameaon who enable Canada
to stand the exodus of a few millions of
people each year to the home of the
spring flood, the cyclone, and the red•
legged grasshopper."
The shameful trick played on a little
boy of four years of age, at Belleville, by
a couple of bigger boys, who made him
eat a rotten egg with paint in it, shows
hew careful parents should be in looking
after their children. Senseless boys are
always up to mischief of this sort, and
the two young scamps who caused the
little fellow's death should be severely
punished. If they had been properly
brought up by their parents they would
not have done such s brutal thing.
Parents cannot be too careful in looking
after their children, especially as regards
allowing them to run about the streets.
j" IMMIaa&NT CHILDREN.' --Mr. John
T. Middlemore, the founder of the Or-
phan Children's Emigration Charity,
London, Ont., left Liverpool on the 7th
inst., in the S. S. Cireawan with • party
of 60 girls and 80 boys between the ages
of 3 and 15 year, who are bronght out to
this country for adoption or hire, chiefly
among farmers. They are expected to
arrive at the Guthrie Home, near the
city, on or about the 20th inst. This
will be Mr. Middlemore's 11th annual
visit to these shores with juvenile emi-
grants from Birmingham, England, since
1872. Already many applications ac-
companied withgond references have been
made for the children expected to ar-
rive, but more are required. Further
particulars may be obtained by address-
ing Mr. H. Gibbons, Manager of the
Guthrie Hone, London, ()nt.
Before preaching an instructive sermon
the
last Sunday.y of the
riesthood in the
R. C.Rev. Father
West, in urging his hearers to take a
church paper, made a few remarks con-
cerning local papers. He said he con-
sidered it in the interests of the cote
munity to support the looal papers first
Next they should take a religious paper,
and then, if so disposed. subscribe for
one nr more general newspapers. Where
ever he chanced to be stationed he in-
variably subscribed for the local papers.
He also cautioned subscribers from fall-
ing into the erroneous notion that it was
a compliment paid a paper to take it and
to think the editor nr publisher worked
merely for the interest sof his fellnws.
He trusted none of his congregation
would take it paper without paying for it.

marks to all our readers of every denom-
inution. Newspaper men only wish

the Queen for two months has been in a
state of mild melaneholy,which in course
of time, if not relieved, would probably
become very difficult to treat. Her con-
dition has natural" caused great anxiety
because of the tendencies of her family.
