The Ontario Government is to be con- gratulated on its determination to arrange for a celebration of the centennialof popular government in Ontario. So important an anniversary could not be allowed to pass unnoticed, The Federal Government have acted wisely in deciding to enfore the same quarantine regulations against American cattle entering British Columbia as are enfored elsewhere in the Dominion. So long as that door was open so long was there danger of disease being introduced amonest Canadian herds, and which again would involve the withdrawal of the privilege of sending our animals to inland cities in Britain on the hoof, +3- According to the Quebec Mercury the province has already profited from Mr.. Mereiee's downfall. It says •-" Our credit went up with a bound in the Eurapeau markets on the confirmation of the news of the De 13oueherville Gov- ernment victory. Province of Quebec bonds are to -day 5 per cent. higher than they were a week ago, and our securities are largely sought after." Quebec's reputation has gone up to a much greater degree. +++ Probably the longest single span of wire rope in the world is that now in use in the construction of the great Austin dam at Austin, Texas. Tho main cable is 1,350 feet long and two and one- half inches in diameter, and the hoisting is done with a three -fourth -inch steel robe. The plant is used to carry away the material excavated and to place the stone used in constructing the dam. The hoisti'ig apparatus will lift a weight of seven tons and carry it the entire length of the span in about a minute and a half. The New Brunswick Legislature has declared almost unanimously in favor of a union of the three Maritime Provinces. Why this union was not accomplished lone since itis impossible to understand. The three Provinces combined have less than one-fourth the area and only about one-third the population of Ontario, end yet each has a double chamber, and there are for three of them sixty-six more legislators than in this Province. The proposed change, if carried out, tomtit to effect a saving of a quarter of a million a year. tit In the first month. of 1892 the number of immigrants arriving at the ports of the United States was 18,057. In Janu- ary last year the total was 14,787. The increase of 3,270 is equal to about 22 per cent. The number of immigrants arriving from Russia was 4,529 in January, 1892, and 2,017 in the corres- ponding month of 1891, showing a gain of 2,512, or 125 per cent. and the in- crease in the immigration fromHungary was 911, or %bout 75 per cent. Leaving these two countries out of the total, the immigration of last January was actually less than in the corresponding, month of 1891. The bill introduced by Hon. Mr. Ross, dealing with emoluments of officers paid by fees, will minimise but not remove an evil long complained of. Division Court clerks are to be permitted to re- tain their net income up to $1,500; deputy clerks of the Crown and surrogate registrars up to $2,000; registrars of deeds up to $2,000, and sheriffs up to $3,003. Oa all fees received over and above these figures a percentage grow- ing in amount with the sums collected by the officials, shall be paid to the Provincial Treasurer. The art would meet with more general approbation if it absolutely limited the emolument of Division Court clerks to $1,500, of reg- istrars to $2,000 and $2,500, and of sheriffs to $3,000. None of these offi- cers earn more than that; and to pay them more is an outrage. Someone says that church membership is decreasing, and that Christianity has ceased to grow. lJnon thatquestionwe will quote a few figures, as follows : Three centuries after Christ there were 5,000,000 christians, Eight centuries after Christ there were 30,000,000 christians. Ten centuries after Christ there were 50.000,000 christians. Fifteen centuries after Christ there were 100,000,000 christians. Eighteen centuries after Christ there were 174,000,000 christians. Now there, are 450,000,000. These do not include Jews,Unitariens, because they do not believe in Christ, while they have a religion, they are not. styled as christians. These figures do not indicate that there is a decrease in church membership, or that christianity is waning. - Christianity now spreads over a good part of Africa -and Asia. In fact its influence is felt the world over, and it is the religion that spreads over three-fourths of the world. Christianity is the religion of civilization.. Civiliza- tion is making great headway all oyer the world. Political Points. Decision in the North Perth appeal case will not be given before April 4th. Mr. Janes Trow, ex -M. P. of Strut. ford is dangerouslyill. Ho was taken to bed Monday night. Protests have been entered againt the return of Mr. Bain (Soulanges), and Mr. Bennett (East Simcoe). In the late South Perth election, Mr. Trow received 2,307 votes ; Mr Prielham, 2,325 ; rejected ballots 22 ; spoiled ballots 32. Total vote cast, 4,688. This is the heaviest vote ever polled imthe riding. A large and influential deputation of members of Parliament and others waited on Hon. George E. Foster and Mackenzie Bewell Friday morning to ask for an increase of duty on mess pork to $0 a barrel, so as to enable Canadian packers to compete with American producers. The request will likely be granted. The Gains and Losses in South Perth. At only six polling -places in the whole riding did Mr,Trow make any improvement as compared with the election a year ago. Following are the places where he made slight gains : St. Marys No. 2 Copeland's 1 " 3 Billing's 9 28 " " 4 Furniss' Downie No. 1 Sebringville......... , , 5 Usbotue No, 3 Skinner's 1 tlitoliell No, 3 Tunget's 11 Trow's total gains 55 On the other hand, iu every other polling divieiou except one (that being No.5,Downie where Mr.'Pridham's majority was e.actly the same as Mr. Sharp's last year) Mr. Pridham made distinct gains, either increas- ing the Conservative majority or reducing Mr. Trow's majority. Here ie a list of Mr. Pridham's gains by polling -planes : St, Marys No. 1 O'Brien's shop 11 " 5 Harriaon's shop 17 " " 6 Reid's foundry 2 Downie No 2 Avonton 20 3 Avonbank 8 4 Separate school .14 ` " 5 MoEwou's school.... same 17sborne No. 1 Elimville 22 " 2 Dinnen's 23 " " 4 Farquhar 4 Hibbert No. 1 Dublin. 5 " 2 Burns' 7 " " 3 Town hall 8 " 4 Cromarty. 9 Mitchell.

By gaining two in No. 3, Hibbert, and one at No. 1, Blanahard, gives. Mr. Pridham a majority of 18 instead o! 15. In Chicago the population composed of all nationalities is about a million and a quarter inhabitants, or to be oorrect,1,207,- 645. It bas been the fashion of the Liberal patty to speak of the Canadian Colony there as being between fifty and sixty thousand, when in point of fact it is not more than one-eighth part of this number. The pop- ulation is divided as below, and it will be seen that there are 100,000 more Germans than Americans proper in the city. The figures are taken from the Chicago Tribune of last month : Germans 384,958 Americans 292,463 Irish 215,534 Bohemians 54,209 Polish 52,756 Swedish 45,877 Norwegians 44,614 English 33,785 French 12,963 Scotch 11,927 Russians 9,977 Italians 9,921 Danes . 9,891 Canadians 6,989 Hollanders 4,912 Hungarians 4,827 Romanians 4,350 Welsh 2,966 Swiss 2,735 Mongolians 1,217 Greeks 698 Belgians 582 Spanish .. 297 W.

The flcor will be fifty-four feet above the water and there will be consumed in the oonstruction 3,500,000 feet of timber. The new docks will have a shipping capacity of 1,000,000 tone of ore a year, and will cost $200,000. WHAT A FRIEND CAN Do. -"I was con- fined to my bed by a severe attack of lum- bago. A lady friend sent me a part of a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, which I applied. The effect was simply magical. In$ a day I was able to go about my household duties. I have used it with splendid enemas for neuralgic toothache' I would not be with- out it." Mas•J. RINGLAND, Kincaid St., Brockville, Ont. CONL?ENSED NEWS. From Various Sources Through out the District. HURON. Mies Jessie Alexander and Mrs A, E.

For some time A, Kosnig,rproprietor of Cis American Hotel, Brussels, had been missing money from the till belon,ing to the,bsr and set his assistant, George Sten- ornagel, on guard. Early one morning recently, about 5 o'clock, the unsuspecting culprit with lamp and key obtained admis- sion to the bar room, only to be toonfrontcd by George. The game was up at once, and shortly after the man, who had been host- ler at the stable. confessed repeated thefts, returned $7 to Mr. Koenig and left town The reason why;"Myrtle Navy" tobacco has taken so strong a hold upon the smok- ing community is because it is the genuine article. No man has desire to awoke any- thing alae than tobacco. Even opium is not smoked for the pleasure of smoking it but for its soporific effects, The desire for tobacco Is, of course, best satisfied by get- ting the pure article, and when to this is added the finest quality the satisfaction is complete. Those two things are combined in the "Myrtle Navy." MIDDLESEX. Father Connolly, of Biddulpb, objected to the singing of the Irish ballad "Ma Cartier' Widow" at St. Patriok's concert on Thursday night. Robert Maxwell of London while oiling an engine iu the yard at London on Satur- day was run over and both feet taken off. He was under the engine and gave the signal to start before he had got out.

McGill Qray, EXAMINATION. -The examination held in S. S. No. 5, McGillivray, on lriiday last, was in every respect a decided success. At au early hour visitors were to be seen wending their way along the different roads leading to the school, which had on the previous day been tastily decorated with evergreens, mottos and pictures. After a goodly number had assembled the examination was opened by Mr. Amos,who read a portion. of scripture and prayer. After this classes were examined by Messrs Amos, Bloomfield Cunningham and Harri- son and by Miss Hamilton, Difficult questions were put to the children by the different teachers, to which they replied with alacrity, showing that their teacher must be using unstilted efforts to advance the interests of those placed under his charge, After the classes had been exam- ined, a hearty lunch was partaken of,which had been provided by the ladies of the see tion, When the cravings of the inner man had been thoroughly satiated the meeting was again called to order, A chairman was appointed who gave a ellen address, followed by a lengthy, entertain- ing and instructive address by Rev. Mr. Redmond of Crediton. Addresses were also given by Messrs. Amos, Harrison, Dempsey, Cunningham and Bloomfield The remainder of the program consisted of dialogues, recitationa and singing by the pupile, aninstrumental duet by Messrs. Bloomfield and Drummond, and short ad- dresses by many of the residents of the section, the latter expressing themselves as highly pleased with the services rendered thein by their teacher, Mr. J 11. H. Downing. In the evening a grand enter- tainment was ,given. The !louse was liter- ally packed, large numbers having to stand during the whole evening. The program, which was very lengthy, was entertaining. It consisted of instrumental selections by Messrs. Bloomfield and Drummond, which were well received by the audi- once; comic songs by Mr. J. A. Demp- sey, which fairly brought down the house; Quartets by the Misses Gill and Messrs. Snell and Harrison, which mot with rounds of applause; Solos by Mr. Jas. Crawford and by Miss E. Mt; uire; recitations, readings and side-splitting dialogues. The entertainment broke up at a late hour and all went home feeling they had spent a most enjoyable evg. Notwithstanding the small admission fee of 15 cents, over $30 was realised, the proceeds to be expended in purchasing a library for the school. A recent visitor to southern Alaska says that one may stand on the border of an foe field miles in breadth end pluck as beautiful a garland of flowers and ferns as ever graced a May festival. A few feet above the timber line it is always winter. In the higher mountains there is no vege- tation. SPEED or THE FLY. -The speed of the pigeon has been considered wonderful, but that of the fly is much more marvelous, Probably all have seen one keep up with a horse and pester it, easily flying at the rate of ten or twelve miles an hour. The fly's wings, itis said, ordinarily make six hundred strokes a ;second which carry it about twenty-five feet, but a seven -fold velocity can be attained, making 175 teat per second, so that under certain circum- stances it can outstrip a racehorse. The commerce of Central Africa, em- bracing about two-thirds of the continent, is only aboat $40,000,000 a year, or about the same as that of mineral oil exported from the United States. The truth is that Africa depends on her animal and vegeta- ble products, which cannot be of great value in tropical countries. The principal animal product is ivory, but the elephants are being killed off so rapidly that this will soon be exhausted. Central Africa will rise in commercial value when the natives learn to plant such crops and rear such animals as will be useful in the commerce of the world. LIFE ON MOUNT WASHINGTON. -In this bleak spot, where there is frost all the year round, usually reside three or four men, including a cook,with one cat and one dog. Their communication with the outside world is kept np by means of the telegraph instrument. The larder is supplied with frozen meat and poultry in September,and this does not thaw during the season. For water they depend upon frost-feathers,two or three barrels of which they keep on hand in one part of the cabin.

His family of live sons and eight daughters were all living at his death. There is a good deaf of anxiety ex. pressed on the part of live stook ex. porters in regard to the effect the cattle disease in England is going to have on Canadian live stock trade. A cable received from Edinburgh stated the disease had stopped the market there, and for shippers to exercise cau- tion. Other cables, say the disease has spread to Perth. The districts where the disease exists are cut off from other counties, and if not cured when Cana- dian cattle arrive on the other aide,the effect is likely to be mostprejudicial to Canadian exporters' interests. Mr. J. 1. Lunneas, a western cattle exporter,was in Montreal Monday on his way to Portland, where he had shipped some 400 head of cattle on the steamship Mongolian. There were only seventeen head of Canadian cattle in the lot. The American cattle shipped on the Mon golian were bought in Chicago at $4.26 per 100 lbs., and the steamship freight was 50 shillings per head. There has only been two email lots of Canadian cattle shipped from American ports this winter. The exporters claim that owing to higher price of cattle in Can- ada at present compared to what they can be purchased for in the United. States together with. themoro favorable railway rates given on American terri- tory by Canadian lines itis impossible to ship Canadian animals. THAT!

At that time I was unable to walk even a short distance without feeling a Death -lie Weakness overtake me, And I had intense -pains from neuralgia in my head, back and limbs, which were very exhausting. But I am glad to say that soon after I began taking 11ood's Sarsaparilla 1 saw that it was dole * Inc good. When I took 3 bottles I was entirely Cured of Neuralgia 1 gained in strength rapidly; and can take a two -mild walk without feeling tired. . I do not suffer nearly so much from ca- tarrh, and find that as my strength increases, the catarrh decreases. I am indeed a changed woman, and am very grateful to Hood's Sarsaparilla for what it has done for me. ,It is my wish that, this my testimonial shall be published in order that others suffering as.I was maT'c learn how to be benefited."
