Verity's atilt retaiumg their in- dividuality. t t t Last yea: Newfoundland purchased $1,800,000 worth of Canadian produce, Of this total nearly half a million repre- sented purchases of flour and over a quarter of a million the velue of animals and, their products sent to the Ancient Colony. The recent rupture of com- mercial relations between the Dominion and the Island threatened to destroy this trade altogether. The news that the tariff war is at an end, is, therefore. cause for eatisfaction. • 4f In the States of N▪ ew York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, with a total population of 12,700,800, two and three- quarter millions are of foreign birth, The proportion of foreigners to native. born citizens has been ateadily inereaaing too, even since 1850. In Pennsylvania the foreign element has increased from 13 to 16 per cent. of the whole; in New Jersey from 12i to 222,and in New York from 21 to 26. Over 36 per cent. of the population in these three sta tea are unable to speak English. General Booth announces a great need of funds to carryon the Salvation Army. lie recalls his announcement that the 8500,000 given for his "Darkest Eng- land." scheme svould require 8150,000 annually for maintenance,as W11310,000 of thee had been furnished so far. So the scheme is almost at a stanastill. The "spiritual" fund is also exhausted. To parry on this "spiritual side of the war 'into the self-denial week in October will require $401000, and the money is needed immediately. * * * The Dominion Government, through the Dairy Commissioner, Professor Rob- ertson, are issuing to femora and dairy- meni15tes on cheese making in monthly bulletins. They are .brimful of sound practical information pertaining to this department of farm knowledge; and every faotoryman andfarniershould read them. The Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, will cheerfully forward these excellent bulletins teeny person desirous of obtaining them by applying to the Dairy Commissioner, Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa. : I I Following were the prices for barley in Buffalo last week, as given by the Express : "Barley—Good Canada is held ab 85 to 90 cents; good weatern is firm at 55 to 68 cents, and No. 3 Michi- gan is held at 60 to — cents in store. In Oawego No. 2 Canada remains at 83 to 87 cents and in Albany No. 2 and No. 8 state is nominal at 54 to 60 cents, and Canaan No. 2 at 87 to 92 cents." It will be observed that good Canada is quoted at 22 to 30 cents per bushel more than good western --the extreme range being 35 cents, the difference in the latter case being more than the whole amount of duty. .1, • An article by David N. Holway in the Arena for June shows tile enormous progress that has been made in the mat- ter of life insurance during the lest thirty years. In 1861 the total insur- . Owe in force amountedto$1,195,000,000 '41which $850,000,000 was held by Brit- ish companies and $177,000,000 by American. Since then the total has increased to nearly elevenbillion dollars, of which $3,218,000,000 is held by com- panies in Britain (including Canada and Anstralia),and $4,477,000,000 by Amer- ican. Since the organisation of life in- " nuance isehemes,cornpanies in the Unit- ed States alone have paid six hundred and thirty-three million dollars to the half million families of decreased policy holders, arid have also distributed one hundred and twenty-five 'pillions in matured endowments, One of the most • beneficial institutions of the nineteenth century is the life insurance company or • association, and it is well that the bene- fits offered are being so largely taken • advantage of.

According to tbe Montreal Star, there were hist year about 1,000 Canadian horses abipped from Montreal to Glasgow and other points. This season it is expected that the total export will amount to 4,000. The Canadian horse trade with Britain has commenced to develop itself in earnest There are at present no leas than seven British buyera of horses in Canada and they are shipping consign - meats from Montreal every week to Glasgow. They are ding their' buying principally throughout Ontario, but make Montreal their head -quarters. The horses being exported are mostly heavy, single drivers and fast carriage. The sales are held at Glasgow and are attend ed by buyers from. London and other parts of England and Scotland. The Canadian horse evidently finds favor in the British market, judging from the healthy demand for them. The average profit to the sellers is 25 per cent. That pays, and that is why the British buyers on this side are at present assiduously cultivating the trade. The Dairy. Denmark now produces 100,000,000 pounds of butter yearly for export, almost the whole of which goes to England. The Danish laws require Government inspectors of all butter factories, who can, at any time, enter dairies, factories or warehouses and take away samples for analysis. Should oleomargarine or any other adherent be found, the maker is tined $27. The result is really first- class butter of uniform character, due to this Government supervision and the careful treatment of the milk till it can be made into butter. A retail dealer in any part of England who orders 50 tubs of Danish butter knows exactly what he will get. It must be the same with Canadian butter if we are to have the bi ado.

So Ara the Ltheral-Dolontsts—rrish ra,v. tton rigiit—Davitt Bas a Bandaged Head—The Ozer Win Visit the Ger- man Emperor, Mr, G. W. Smalley telegraphs to The New York Tribune: Urinate, June 6.—That the dissolution of this long Parliament vrill take place at the end of June is now an article of faith with both parties, The understanding be - ween Mr. Balfour and Mr, Gladstone is busiuese pui•posea pretty complete. here is for parliamentary purposes a I'ruchee. Tboldness, if not the gener• al turmoil of a general election, has already begun. Agents and candidates are hard at work. The Whitsuntide holidays will be no dart to men whose political fortuuee are at, lotto. Speculations on the result, esti- mates, conjectures, calculations and cal- culated exaggerations abound. Tempera- ment has as much to do with the matter as figures. Mn Gladetone, more sanguine in age than other men in youth, believes his majority in the next House will be a majority of three figures, Gla,dstonien journallata of more prosaic minds, with good information and of careful judgment, give him 50. The Gladstonian whips, who by no means wear their hearts on their sleeves, are understood to expect about 30, The Tory whips, equally discreet, are not, thought to dissent very widely from this estimate, The authorities among those Liberal -Unionists whose political extinction has been daily predicted Lor years are more confident than their Tory colleagues. Mr, Gladstone le expected to come back with a majority, but a majority too small to enable him to carry Home Rule, or such Home Rule as he wishes; too small to overawe the House of Lords; too ninon for permanent power. He will be obliged to produce some more of the Home Rule bill; he will fail to carry it, and another general election will follow at no very long inter- val. Such is the theoryof prudent poli- ticians, but to put it into the form of a positive prophecy is what no prudent per- son will do. The war of words at Dublin lies been fel- lowed by blows at Name An anti-Parnell- ite convention was held there on Wednee. day to turn out the toreeeut Parnellito members for County Meath. It eras the first note of hostilities betweeu the two Nationtiliet whip. Mr. Devitt, Alr.O'Brien and other loading anti-Parnellitee led the invasion. The priests took charge of tho proceedings and the convention mot in the Roman Catholic Seminary. Mr. Devitt was nominated against Mr. Pierce Maliony, the preseut member, and. an unknown man against hie colleague, Mr. Shell. Then a publio meeting was hold. The crowd collect- ed outside mid when the delegates emerged front the seminary they were mobbed, Mud, not rhetorical only, but real mud, was thrown; then stones. Mr. Devitt was hit, ILA at Waterford, and blood flowed. Others wuro hit. Mr. Davitt was looked after by a doctor and delimited for Dublin with a bantleged head. Cries follovrod him, "We will have no traitors Imre." Ono of the wishes of the German peror is about to bo gratified. The Czar has promised to pay blin a visit at Kiel to last belf an hour. To Berlin he will not go, but this rather casual and extremely brief meeting is eupposed to be auflicient to soothe the long-zuffering seneibilittee of the German Emperor.

AR camped except one, who was severely in- jured. The storm mitre seemed to raise up in the air and again drop to the ground about three blocks away. In a moment the air was filled with flying debris, and the cry was raised that the Congregational Church was in ruins and hundrads of children buried is the ruins. The children of tlao city were rehearsing for the children's day at the Cangrega- tional Church, and that edifice was necked to its utmost capacity with the little, folks. But two minutes before the cyclone struck the balding about two hundred of the ainaller children had finished the ex- ercises and gone home. The oherch was milted from its foundation and daubed down in one mese of ruins, burying about 60 children together with the pester of the church and several teaohers. Many of the children who wore leaving were hurt by fly- ing thnbers but so far as is known none seriously. ;iVith willing hands the fallen timbers were raised from the ruins and soon all were released from their imprison- ment. Timbers, in falling, had formed an arch over the heads of those who wore in the church. Several of the children are xo in:dowdy injured that it is feared they cannot live but a fewhours. Manyof the injured children have legs and arm$ broken, and gill others seem to be hurt internally. The list of the injured is about 50, and as many were carried home at once it is Mmes.
