We have got accustomed of late years to eleetorel surprises, out the re - slut of last week's bye-eleetfou in Lan- doll has. been more than a surprise to both political parties, However much the Conservatiye may regretthe fact that London city has for the first time in its experience returned a grit to Parltameut,-yet, on calm reflection. there are reasons amply sufficient to accountfor this unexpected result, The gentleman who represented that .eonscitueney for twenty two years was deservedly popular, because possessed cf qualities which gave him a strong hold on the sympathies of his fellow citizens. And yet, even Mr; Meredith s. majority at the last general election was greatly reduced from what it had been on all previous occasions. Can- not this be accounted for? We think it can. Mr. Meredith had brokeh a lance with Arch -bishop Cleary on the subject of separate schools; and this same cry has been since taken' up, wisely or unwisely, by the Protestant Protective Association whose tactics have aroused the Ro eau Catholic ele- ment, and tended greatly to embitter the relations existing between Protest- ants and Catholics. Where were the P. P. A's, Whose organization was said to be so powerful in numbers, that they allowed their candidate to be snowed under by a majority of 800? Another element entering into mod cern politics is the Temperance question and the strong effort made by certain parties to carry prohibition. This had much to do with the rejection of Mr. Essery in London. He posed as a pro- hibitionist, as well as a P. P. A. sup- porter—so did also Mr. Marter, M, P. P. the new leader of the Ontario Conserv- atives, who backed up i ssery's candi- dature at all his meetings; and to the everlasting disgrace of the so-called Temperance prohibitionists, instead of consistently supporting the man who pledged himself to voice the sentiments, if elected, they sank their temperance principles and voted grit. Is it any wonder Essery was defeated, when the Roman Catholic votes and those of the liquor dealers combined with the Tem- perance supporters of Sir Oliver, but the intemperate opponent of the candidate who promised to give them prohibitory legislation, -and when one and all were massed solid for Hobbs? Mr. Essery might well say: "Save me from my friends"!—oras he isreported to have said: "We have had a picture to -day of christain temperance' people .and saloon keepers arm-in-arm—the most wretched combination on the face of the earth." It would require a stronger man even than Mr. Essery to resist successfully the triple Alliance of (?', R C's, P. P. A's and Prohibitionists. The moral lesson, which reads like the most exciting page of the latest novel,. is this: "Trust ye not in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant." The probabilities are that the London election will be protested on account of certain dark doings and corrupt in- fluences employed to sustain Sir Oliver Mowat's tottering administration. again" ---introduced himself to her-- alai fell in love off -handed They were married on his twenty first birthday. Their issue cousists of six boysand one daughter. The Empress is a devoted wife and mother looks after her household—retires at half past ten and rises at six in the Morning --makes her husband's coffee --takes the deepest interest in her .children's studies. and play—in short, the Empress can mend and sew, knit and d trn, bake and brew, as well as any German woman in the Empire.—Perhaps, site. can thrum on a piano—perhaps she doesn't In addition to her household duties, which demands her first attention, the German Empress gathers around her a group of young ladies belonging to the Court, and they make needlework to help the poor. She is. beloved by her seryauts, because, unlike many mistresses of humbler pretentious, she believesindoing everything to make them contented and happy—eYen to seeing that their bed rooms are cheefrul and attraative. Such model women as the Empress of Germany would do much to put an end to the insane cry of "woman's rights", and contribute to he happiness of a wronged humanity. Oen W13° 3 N0WS. 101,61. West Huron Patrons. A large meeting of the Patrons of Industry of West Huron was held at Carlow on Saturday afternoon to select a candidate for the Dominion House. David Forrester, of Clinton, was the man chosen. Around About Us. Rheumatism is primarily caused by acidity of the blood, Hood's Sarsapa- rilla purifies the blood, and thus cures the disease. Bayfield: A despatch from Chicago says, that the ''Eddy" is uuloading coal there, so that the bottle with the letter in it found near Bayfield is evi- dently a hoax. Sharon: On Wednesday, while Mrs, Louis Dayie was working about the house she fell clown cellar with a lamp in her hand. She sustained internal injuries, besides cuts and bruises on the head, and was unconscious for many days. Parkhill: Mr. John Andersor, a .re- spected resident of East Williams, and brother of Messrs. Wm and James An- derson, of this place, died very sudden- ly on Sunday. He was sick only a few hours. Inflammation of the bow els was the cause of death. Shipka place: Thise! being Mapped by telephone on the line from Grand Bend to Parkhill. Some months ago au agitation was abroad to have a tele - hone line from Exeter to Kirkton and Woodham. ;eHas the project fallen thoough, or is it to materialize? No local line could line could possibly pay hro Company better. Parkhill: On Friday last Mrs. J. G. Munroe was taking the baby carriage down stairs, walking backward, ahead of it, but the weigh of the carriage was too much for her and she fell from the third step to the bottom, with the car- riage on top of her, Strange to say, she was not hurt and the vehicle was not much the worse. Hensel': Mr. Richard Blatchford, of Lamoure, Dakota, and who was one of our pioneer business men, of the firm of Blatchford Brothers, blacksmiths and carriage makers, pleasantly surprised his many relatives and friends in this section the end of last week, by unex- pectedly dropping in upon them, after an absense of fourteen years. A MODEL YVOAILN. In these days of "woman's rights," it is well that we have left us a few anodes specimens of what women ought to be. Passing over our own beloved. Sovereign—who as wife, mother, and monarch, has nobly' fulfilled her voca- tion in every sphere—we have an il- lustrious example of womanhood in the person of the German Empress, who in the opinion of her husband exemplifies the Kaiser's idea.] of what a woman ,ought to be. The present Emperor of Germany has no patience with blue stocking, or , with the emancipated woman of modern times. He believes in a man possessing for his partner in life one who will prove a "help -mate" for him, To use his own language he prefers "a wife who can make jam to one who can discuss a constitution," or perambulate the Empire on a lecturing tour- His ideal of woman seems to be one who devotes her, life to the three K's—or, as it would read in English, to the three eel --Church, Children and Cooking! The love story of Emperor William II and his wife, is exceeding- ly interesting. He was only twenty years of age; and, passing along one day on a shooting excursion, he spied at pretty girl of his own age sleeping in a hammock under a rustle rose :coyered summer house, He went along thinking of a german poem known as the "]friar Rose." Later oti in the day the young Kaiser not the same pretty girl in the Castle, gave her the salu- tation: "Oh! here Is my briar rose 1-WMOROUS GLEANINGS; (Gazing at the Giraffe)—Rey, Chiming, how's eat fora t' root ter holler extrys wid? --.Life, Beggar' --Kind, gentleman, I beg your pardon— Gent (promptly)—Granted.

Editor (absently) -Certainly, . my love, dollar a line for reading notices:—•Rariem Life, SENTENCES BY JUDGE. The seed is stronger than the soil. False alarms create false securieties. . Our pre-existent habits are our present tendencies. In the whirligig of time some one must take the dust. Life is a combination of which the secret is not given. The mundane world is conducted on the defensive plan. Fidelity is the conservative preserver of type, custom and race. When a thing is hard to endure some- thing harder may come to make it easier. If nature were to disclose her processes man would have the audacity to patent her inventions. Praise not a servant too greatly, lest he be puffed up and masterful; nor too little, lest he be discouraged. Homely truths are like home remedies —apt at tunes, but applied upon every oc- casion whether they fit the case or not.— Kathrine Grosjean. Cromarty: Robert Hoggarth, with commendable enterprise, , has bought out his brother Richard's farm, on the 10th concession. and also taken nuto himself a wife, in the person of iv1iss Bella McKellar, of this place, which huppy event took place on Wednesday, last week. We hope that their jouru• ey down life's turbid stream at worst may be pleasont. Usborne: "Mr. Robert Creery, sr, of Usborne, came to town Tuesday in search of his former hired man, who had taken what did not belong to him and decamped, It appears that the man wanted, had worked for Mr. Creery during the harvest and left when his time expired. He arrived Sunday ostensibly on a visit at hts former employer's residence in Usborne and stayed over night but cleared out early Monday -morning. After his de parture a quantity of clothing was missed and $6 in cash from the trouser pocket of George Highton, the hired boy, Mr. Creery has every reason to suspect him of the thefts and has given information that may lead to his ar- rest.—St. Marys Journal. Seaforth: The new Electric Ligh Power House had a close call from des struction by fire on Sunday last. Mr, Ingram, the Electrician, happened to go down there after church to see if all was right. Wli.en he entered the dyn• arm room he was astonished to find the piece filled with smoke. HesoOn notic- ed that it was coming from the engine house, and on opening the engine house door the smoke was so dense he could scarcely get in. Ile crawled on his hands and knees to where the fire seem - cd to be, and discovered a blaze almost reaching to the roof. He coon had water on it and got it put Out, b, t had it not been noticed for half an hour longer the consequences would have been serious, .A. wheelbarrow and some boxes were burned. This was all the damage done. It is thotight the fire caught from a pile of cotton waste that had been used in cleaning the machinery and was saturated with Oil. FASHION FADS. Cut -away jackets of velvet are much liked by young girls. Sleeveless jackets of various materials with passementerie edgings are - popular. A dress of cloth with a narrow moire panel down the front is among the new importations. Muffs are somewhat larger than hereto- fore. Many muffs will be used during the coming winter without other firs. Capes of moire are trimmed with fur collars and lined with bright silk. One of the handsomest of these garments was recently made to order and lined with very stiff brocade. Ermine, from becoming popular, has become a fad, and every woman who has money to buy it wants ermine in some form or another. The only difficulty is its scarcity and extravagantly high price. Really fine ermine is almost impossible to obtain, and the most fabulous prices are paid for it—N. Y. Ledger.. BAYONET POINTS. Only four of the su'rv1vous of Napoleon's great army are still alive: Jean Jacques Sebatier, 102; Victor Baillod and Jean Bousset, 101, and Joseph Rose, 100. Engineer in Chief Melville says that in the Olympia, Minneapolis, Columbia and New York, the United States has four cruisers that for speed beat anything bathe world. Aluminium. is now used instead of steel for the nails and heel plates of. the German soldiers' boots. The results expected are quicker and better marching. Fifteen years after they were lost in the disaster at Isandhiwana, in Zululand, the colors of the Twenty-fourth regiment, the South Wales Borderers, have been re- covered, They come some way into the hands of a French nobleman, who has just transferred thele to the British military attache at Paris. THE STAGE. Copee'spoetical drama, "Severn Torelli," originally produced at the Odeon, has just been brought out with success at the Coiueclie Fiancaise, with Albert Lambert and Paul Mounet, who were in the origin- al cast, and Mme. Brandes. Eleanora Duse has just applied for a divorce from he husband, Signor Ceenuehi. In her next seasonshe will appear in "La Lupa," a dramatization by Verga, who wrote theoriginal story of "Cavalleria Rusticana," of one of the most powerful of his tales of Italian peasant life. S,ardou has just read his new play be- fore Sara Bernhardt and the Renaissance company. Itis called: "Gismonde, Duch- ess de Atbenes." The scene is laid in Greece in the fifteenth .century, and is founded on a;—historical incident. The scenery will he faithfully reproduced from a Vienna manuscript. MULTUM IN PARVO.

Ii old age the height of man really dim- inishes, Blue-eyed cats are said by Darwin to be always deaf. The hog eats fewer plants than any other herb -feeding animal. The tail of a bever is a regular trowel, and is used as such. Carnivorous animals seldom produce more than two young at a birth. The flesh of the boa constrictor is eaten by the aborigines of Brazil. eggs of the crocodile are larger than those of the goose. In many tropical countries the scorpion grows to the length of a foot. The strongest muscle in a monkey'sbody to found in his prehensile tail. Certain parts of the hippopotamus' hide attatu a thickness of two inches. The skin is the only part of the human body that is not hardened by age. The sword fish does not use its terrible weapon as a dagger, but as a flail. Moles can swim with great dexterity, their broad forepaws acting as paddles. Students of nature have never been able to explain the chameleon's change of color. Tho greatest velocity attained by a whale when struck by a harpoon is nine miles an hour. scarcely MEN OF LETTERS. W. Clark Russell, the writer of sea stories, is such a suffererfromrheumatism that he can use neither his hands nor his feet, and dictates his literary work to his eldest son. He resides at Bath, England. Two of the best known of Chicago liter- ary workers, Opie Read, the well-known author of southern stories, and Nixon Waterman, one of Chicago's cleverest wits and brightest poets, are touring the coun- try giving entertainments, consisting of readings from their own writings. Mr. Gladstone can now be classed as 'a hotelkeeper. Last month- he opened a hotel near the library he equipped with twenty-five thonsand volumes at Hewer - den and established a rate of twenty-five shillings a week for board and lodging and the use of the library. Readers and students have made it a success. Fronde was lecturing at Tremont tem- ple in Boston on the night when the great are of 1872 broke out. The manager of the course held in his hand a check for one thousand dollars—the net proceeds of two or three of the lectures. He proffered the cheek to Mr. Fronde, but the warm-heart- ed Englishman immediately ordered it paid to the proper authority for the bene- fit of the sufferers by the fire. ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO. Beef and pork, salt fish, potatoes and hominy were the staple diet all the year round. The mail of the whole country did not equal that of a single second-rate office now. The only shoes were stout contrivances of strong bide, with wooden pegs or hob- nails. There were no pianos; the ladies of musical talent played on the 'spinet or harpsichord. Buttons were scarce and expensive; and the trousers were fastened with pegs or laces. The only recognized method of impart- ing information was by the liberal use of the rod. All the population of a village assembled at the inn on "post day" to bear the news. There were no thrashing machines. Wheat was thrashed out on the barn floor with flails. The women's dresses were' puffed with hoops and stood out two or three feet on each side. A fever patient was forbidden to drink water, and smallpox was treated in a dark TREES AND FLOWERS. Washington, D.C., has 600 varieties of trees. The largest flower is the "Rafiiesia," named in honor of Sir S. Raffles, which is anative of Sumatra. The diameter often exceeds nine feet. 1 •disappearing Lclolweiss is rapidly in many parts of Tyrol. To save it the land. - tag has lately imptiseda flue for selling the plant with the roots.

The first plant was obtained by accident from a job lot of French seed, but the grower has now fixed the type and can produce it regularly. AVOID TROUBLE AT HOME, Use Only the Reliable Daxnond Dyes;• It is well known that the ladies of Canada often experience trials and tribulations in the household manage- ment. These small but irritating troubles can be avoided if a little care and common sense is exercised. Wo- men who go on suffering these little miseries have themselves to blame, as they sutler through their own careless. ne s and inexperience. To day one great source of annoyance in the household is the use of poor imitation dyes for domestic dying. In some sec- tions of our land, the ladies have lifted up their voice against them in a way which cannot be misunderstood. These imitation dyes have caused not only great loss of material and money, but anger and heartache as well. All these domestic trials and tribulations are avoided when Diamond Dyes are used. By their use work Is well and quickly done; results aro always grand and the colors are brilliant and lasting Ladies who have used Diamond Dyes for the last ten years know their great worth and possibilities. Avoid all imitation dyes, and always insist upon s'etting Diamond Dyes from your druggist or dealer. MUSICAL POINTS.
