NOTES AND COMMENTS - We hope Hitt the bill introduced into the Commons by Mr. Charlton for the suppression of obscene literature will receive the hearty support of both polis- ical parties. Tlie amount of vile, de- moralizing literature at present circulat- ing among the young people ie alarming. We know of whulo schools infested in. this way. These trashy hooks are lent by one ;choler to another, and carefully concealed frum theparents and teachers. A very large proportion of sailors on lake vessels flying the flig of the United States are Canadians. On a craft sailing, out of ti: 13utreln and Chicago probably one-third of the crews are citizens of this country. These men must now either swear allegiance to Washington or quit their employment. The action of the American tloverineeutin this matter is rrtnripteti by a desire to lru'ass and en- noy the Dominion and it should be suet by rat:tli:ttien in l.iud. i.1.iE i.f the mess pewerful arguments advanced in favor of annexation to ra- ted States is c+.ritained in the statement that we would secure a two -cent letter rate in return for ourchanaee of allegian- ce.'. As a mere nutter of economy of labor it world seam better, instead of est en lin;; t'ner::y in ehrry ing on a polit- ical union prop iganda, to bring a little United,. pressure to bear on Sir A, P. Caren tit favor of penny postage for Centel I. It would probebly take less time to convince the ex -War Minister of th,. .f irahility of this reform, than to .' the Cauadian people to abandon ttionality, The area of the Province of Ontario is greater than that of France. Manitoba and the NorthwestTerrituries are equal ie. extent to Franca, Germany and Italy coml.oued. Canada as a whole embraces a territory equivalent ta that of one- third of Europe. The Dominic*nis over- flowing 1.th undeveloped wealth, which will when fully known soon become de- veloped. e-velop d. Every Province save the smallest cz,nteins almost all the known minerals. In the Northwest alone there is a coal -bearing territory double inaroa the whole of the kingdom of Portugal and the fertile prairies are capable of becoming, the granary of the world. +e Unrestricted reciprocity, if blessing it be, isa blessing the enjoyment of which is inconsistent with Canada's hopes of rising to greatness as a free nation. It is sad to see the party that was nobly id,ntilied with the struggle for respons- ible government advocating a fiscal sys- tem that *.could deprive Canada of that boon. D+.aniniou Parliament that did not control the Dominion tariff would be an expet.sive farce. Before the Lib- erals can hope to win let- them get back into the right gro' ve. Their policy, as interpreted by common sense, proposes` the transfer to Washington the right trf self -g. verntnent, which was only won by Downing street, after a long agitation and a short revolt. According to the Globe the United States farmers sow cent pieces and reap a rich harvest of tir-e dollar bills.

Tha magnetic influence of gold attraets the people of every clime to our eborce.. Men of all nations, and speaking all the languages of civilization, are to be found congregated on aur auriferous plains. Dif- fering in all other things in their customs, habits, and religion—yet Englishmen and Americans, Freuch, Swiss, Germane, Swed. es, Italians, and Chinese admit, without a disaenting voice, that rho great remedies in- troduced to the world forty years ago by Holloway are better adapted to the ogre of diseases in this climate than any other pre. parations in existence. This appears, in fact, to be the experience of mankind in all parts of the world,and hence the universal popularity of these medicines, We consid. ar, however, that the boundless confidence placed in their efficacy by the representat- ives of many nations at the mines, is a atriking phenomenon in medioal history. Alany of these people in their youth, and even at maturity, were accuatomed to the tea of drugs and nostrums peculiar to their several oonutriea. Thom remedies were con neated hi their mind with aesuaiatluue 01 home, nod indorsed, as it were, by their natural prejudices. Yet they ,have been thrown aside and utterly repudiated, while Holloway's Pills and Ointment leave been adopted by a oommou imprise throughout the entire gold regions, There is only one way of accounting for this movement. It„ is the roauit of conviction—conviction gran - ruled on personal observation and experien- ce. The Ointment is used with such wonder- ful saaceas as a dressing for wounds, ulcers, and sore lege. and for all the\external dis- eases and casualties to which the adrentur- one gold bunter is peculiarly liable, that scarcely a digger's tent can be found with- in the vast ares of the gold fields unprovid- ed with a stock of this healing, soothing, cooling preparation. Thehard fare of the digger, and sometimes his habits, tend to vitiate the blood and develop running sores and purulent ulcers of the body and limbs. Bedlege, especially, are very common at the diggings, and seriously interfere with the labours of the diggers, • The worst cases of this class are cured by the Ointment with extraordinary rapidity. The beat method of healing sore legs, and sores and ulcers generally, is by rubbing the Ointment into the inflamed parts around the orifle, first opening the pores and softening the flesh with warm fomentation,. The part affected is then dressed with lint or linen saturated with the Ointmrnt. such is the external treatment, but it is also proper to give the patient a few doses of the Pills urine the progress of the cure. as they serve to purify the .blood and discharge morbid matter from the system, while the Ointment is doing (ts work on the surface.—The Soieutifie Wit. nese.
