On Friday last the members o£ the New Cabinet formed by, the Hon, Mee - Kenzie Rowell as. Premier, were duly sworn into office at Montreal before His Excellency Lord Aberdeen, Governor- Geeeral. Very few changes have been made in the personnel of the new gov- ernment, with the exception of Sir 0. H• Tupper being sworn in as Minister of Justice, to succeed the late Sir _ John Thompson; the Hon. I.`Costigan taking the portfoho of Minister of Marine and Fisheries; and the Hon. W, B. Ives tak- ing the office of Minister of Trade and Commerce, The Ministers without portfolio are: the Hon. Frank Smith,cicd the newly appointed Member of Cabi- net, the Hon. Dr. Montague, of Heidi mend. Our readers will perhaps be in- , terested to know the religious complex- asf the new administration, Protestants sand P. P. A's. will be gratified to learn that there are no less than eleven Pro- te t ut members to five Roman Catho- lics; and so far as we can ascertain, the Protestant section of the Bowell Cabinet consists of the following denominations: Methodist, 1; Baptist, 1; Presbyterian,1; Church of England, 8. However, the choice of Cabinet Ministers has not been made on religions but on political grounds, and on the alleged fitness for the several departments to which they have been appointed. His Excellency, the Governor General, in a lengthy in terview with the new Premier, shortly before the Cabinet took the oaths of office, expressed his entire approval of the choice made by the Premier of his colleagues. It may be meutioned, as au interesting piece of information,that so soon as it was found necessary to select a new Premier, after the lament- ed decease of Sir John Thompson, it was the leading Roman Catholic mem- ber, the Hon. Frank Smith, of Toronto, who proposed to His Excellency the name of Mr. Bowell as the person who, from seniority and long experience of public affairs, best fitted to be entrusted with the formation of the New Cabinet Generally speaking, the present heals of Department are men amply qualified for the task imposed upon them, and will, we are sure, fulfil their onerous and responsible duties to the public sat. isfaction. Murder at Lucknow' On Tuesday, !Dec. 38th Mrs. Robt. El- der, who lived in the south-west part of the town of Lucknow, died under :suspicious circumstances. ,She was an elderly widow woman, and tired with her brother, Alex. Fraser, and neither were very good characters. The hou e has been the resort of a number of fel lbws who do not carry a very good rep- utation and for some mouths past the 'house has been the scane of some noisy quarrels at night, much to the annoy- ance of the neighbors. Fraser is said to have been in the habit of illtreating his sister in his drunken sprees by beating her, Coroner Dr. Gordon was notified of the death, and on visiting the place decided to hold an inquest On Tuesday night a jury was summon- ed and sworn in, and after viewing the remains adjourned till Thursday. Ou Wednesday Drs Tennant and Gartner made a post mortein examination of the body and found the right arm brok- en and terribly bruised from the wrist to the shoulder; also some marks on the head, The inquest was continued Thursday afternoon, when a lstrge num- ber of witnesses'were examined, The taking of evidence was finished at 10 o'clock, and the jury rendered a ver- dict that Mrs. Elder's death wag caused by Alex. Fraser. Fraser was brought before Magistrates Lyons and Law- rence in the afternoon, and committed for trial at Walkerton. Steptleu School Report. The following is the school report of S. 3.

Musical vibrations will cause high ex - plosives to go off, The once famous court violinist, Enrico Masi, died in Rome a few days ago. He was at one time a member of the well- known "Florentine Quartette." Leoncavallo is busily at work on two operas and a ballet to be called "Reynard the Fox," the libretto of which has been written from Goethe's famous poem. The czar of Russia plays on the cornet, it is said, with such utter disregard to time and place that some one once hinted that it entirely accounted for the existence of nihilists. The favorite amusement of Theodore Havemeyer, the multi -millionaire, is play- ing the violin. President William R. Harper, of the University of Chicago, is an admirable performer on the cornet.. Mme. Lucca, the widow of the music publisher, who has just died in Milan, car• ried on the business herself after her hus- band's death, and was among the first to introduce Richard Wagner's' operas to the the Italians. Verdi's new opera has for its subject, not King Lear, as has been reported, but Count Ugolino and the Tower of Famine from Dante's Inferno. In preparing it he has had examined a musical setting to the episode written in the sixteenth century by Vincenzo Galileo, the father of the astronomer. Tolstoi, after writing a libretto to an opera called "The Distiller," amusical and operatic tract intended to cure the Russian peasant of intemperance, and procuring a teetotal composer to write the appropriate music, finds that the Russian peasant ex- presses no interest in . his work, and the opera is a failure. • COMMUNING WITH NATURE. There are six hundred varieties of cot- ton. In Stuttgart there is a rosebush which covers a space of two hundred and thirty square feet. Out of one tree felled near Shelton, Wash., was taken thirty thousand feet of merchantable lumber. A larch tree, one hundred and forty feet high, the tallest in the Iuverary forest, Scotland, was blown down in one of the recent gales. The Victoria li ly of Guiana has a circu- lar leaf from six to twelve feet in diameter. It is turned up at the edge like a tray and .can support, according to its size, from one hundred to three hundred pounds. THROUGH EUROPE. The reading of romances is forbidden by the Koran; hence popular tales are never put in writing among Mohammedans, but are passed from one story teller to an- other, One of the three doyen shirts possessed by Napoleon at St. Helena, and divided at his death among his companions, has been sold by auction for one Hundred and fifty :francs. Every passenger landed in a 'French port from a steam vessel coming from a European port, by, a decree just issued, is to pay a tax of fifty centimes (ten cents); from any other part of the world he payse. franc. Brussels has anew sxeeuutioner. He was a waiter in a saloon, and was dared by his companions into betting that he would try for the place, He won the bet and the place, which carries with it a salary of some twelve hundred francs e year. NATURAL HISTORY. The giraffe has a tongue almost eighteen inches long. The original home of the bison was in the Great Slat lake valley. The eyeball is white bemuse the blood vessels that feed its substance are so anal' that they:c'lo not admit the red corpuscles. The horse's eye has a thick, glutinous secretion, because his eye being, large and much exposed to dust, the viscid secretion eleanms it mere eta:ide city than wottld a more watery agent. A living spocimon of the largest and most deadly sneke known (Oplirophagus slaps) has been added to the eoologi.erd. gardens of London, 1t („grows twelve to fourteen feet in length, and is hooded like, the cobra. It oectirs in Iudin, Burma, and the East Indian archipelago, living in for eats arid jungles and readily climbing trees. 1 ON THE BARGAIN COUNTER. A. firm in .August, Me., sends tet potteries abroad photographs of places of note, and these views are artistically reproduced on pieces of china. An English otiloer has discovered a work• fug telephone betweotr two temples of .Pauj in India, Thesystem is said to have been in operation for over two thousand years. A special mouthpiece for public tele- , phones has been introduced in Germany with the object of avoiding the spread of diseases carried by the condensed moisture of the breath.. A baby carriage, designed especially for those who live in fiats, which can be fold- ed together, so that one person can handily carry it up and downstairs, is a New York invention. Me mixture of cotton and wool in the mauafacture of cloth has been learned so thoroughly that feeling will not detect the presence of cotton. A piece of the goods, boiled in a solution of caustic potash will leave only the cotton fiber intact. Wood pulp bas been put to many uses, but the most extraordinary is in adulterat- ing woolen yarn. A way of spinning the. pulp has been discovered, and the product eau be combined with wool in making yarn, in the proportion of one part of wood to two parts of wool. Muchof this com- posite yarn is, said to have been made into hosiery, and few complaints as to wear have been received. NEW AND BRIGHT. "She isa great favorite with the ealem sex."

George Gould's expenses this season for the Atalanta and Vigilant are estitnated at nearly four hundred thousand dollars. Perhaps the best lady shot at the present clay is Lady Eva Quin, wife. of Capt. Wynham, heir presumptive to the earl of Dunraven. Bicyclist Zitnmerman's great success is said to be doe to his abnormally large heart, which is declared by the doctors to be two inches longer than the aver- age. Sir Agustns Harris has got a new lease of the old Drury Lane theater in London for seven years, and the historical play- house is, therefore, sure to see the next cen tury. A granddaughter of John C. Calhoun, the southern statesman, has just made a success in France, playing in French with a French company the role of "Hermione" iu Racine's "Andronutque." , STARTING IN LIFE. Diocletian, the Roman emperor, was born in slavery and obtained his freedom by service in the army, ' Luther'sfather was a miner, and the future reformer often earned a supper by singing iu the streets. James Madison was very fond of his books, and at an gaily age acquired a high reputation for learning. Horne Tooke was fond of staying in bis father's poultry shop, and liked to be in- trusted with the business. Z•rohary Taylor was brought tip on a farm. He was very thirfty, and soon had a stock of property in calves. Chaucer's boyhood was passed in a wine vault, where he was required to wash bar- rels and clean wine casks. Liszt was driven to the piano every day. For t over fifteen I'o years his daily practice covered ten to twelve hours. WORK AND WAGES. A Persian cook can earn 83.22 a month.

Lord my pasture shall prepare" was by Joseph Addison, and was first printed iu the Spectator iu 1712. "Joy to the World" was by Isaac Watts. Ithas been popularized by being set to a fragment of melody front Handel's Mes- siah. "There is a fountain filled with blood" is the most popular of Cowper's hymns. It is one of the classic lyrics of the English language. "0 worship the King" was the work of Robert Grant.. It, with a large number of his other hymns, was found in his desk and printed after his death. "Lead, kindly light," was written by Cardinal Newman on June 16, 1833, while in the Mediterranean sea, and was first published in the British Magazine in 1836. "Jesus, I my cross have taken," was from a book of short manes, by Henry Francis Lyte, printed in 1833. The mel- ody to which it is sung is from one of Mozart's opera. SOME HOME REMEDIES. For a bee sting, make a paste of earth and water. Cover the stnngsplace with it, bind it on, and it will soon give relief. When a felon first begins to appear cut off the end of a lemon, put the finger in it and keep it there as long as it can be borne. For a sore throat, try a frequent gargle of salt and water. 1f a little is swallowed it will allay the irritation, cleanse the throat and do no harm. For stains on the hands nothing is better than salt moistened with lemou juice. Rub the spots well with the mixture, then wash Of in cleat! water. It is said that a gond remedy for strengthening and clearing the voice is to beat the white of an egg with the juice of a lemon and sweeten it well with sugar and use as needed. To cure round shoulders, sleep perfectly horizontal --that is wit;lout any bolster or pillow. The habit can easily be acquired of sleeping thus, and the round shoulders will soon be straightened. For a cough, boil an ounce ot whole flaxseed in a pint of water, strain and add a little hooey, the juice of two lemons and an ounce of rock candy. Stir together and boil a few minutes. Drink hot. FOR MOTHER AND THE REST. White spots upon tarnished furniture will disappear if a hot plate be held over them.
