You remember the ocher night as you London parks are places of beauty, ' were coming home, on the quiet street leading to your hotel, and the drunken man after calling the woman beside him (with a baby in her arms and an- other at her side) all the vile epithets possible, at last knocked her down with a blow, and you felt like taking off your coat and giving the " hound " a good licking, A policeman placidly looked en, till the woman grasping her child, sprang to her feet and blindly struck out at the brutal man, when bobby condeseeuded to interfere by coolly' or- dering' the woman to get home, while the man walked off unrebuked, Then of course you felt like thrashing the policeman, but summing up all the con- siderations of course thought better of it, and instead walked quietly home and went to sleep and ,et the great mad world of London wag its own gait. And let its men and women drink, de - beach, eat, live, die and starve as they can or must. You are powerless to remedy the ills of London therefore why worry about inevitable. J. A. R. London, Eng., Sept, 19th, 1897. Gardens and squares are numerous. St. James' green and Hyde Park are a continued series of many hundreds of acres in extent. Flocks of sheep wan- der over them to peep the grass close where it is not cut. All Muds of water fowl swarm on the ponds and lakes, Beautiful drives and plenty of seats. The London Music Hall is an insti- tution by itself. Popular singers and comedians sing or act in bait a dozen plays in one night. Going rapidly from one to the other, only appearing in one number in each and one encore. The music halls are always filled at night ercn keep their hats on and smoke and order their beer or other drink all over the house, women of all classes sit be- side them and while they do not smoke they help to drink the 'liquid refresh- ments. Everybody is good natured and the women laugh out loud and encore and drink, So far as you can observe all women drink in London. Andt.he music hall comedians and sing ers get off some very good things in- deed, The London Sunday is unique to a Canadian Christian like yourself. Yau. take a buss and go out to Hampstead heath. You see thousands of all kinds of shops open, barbers, tobacco, in fact all kinds. All the taverns and saloons in full blast. The saloons only close for a few hours in the afternoon, And the boats, cabs, busses, railways and all traffic goes on as usual. And out at Hampstead heath yon are in the country, and London town lies at your feet, having ridden seven miles from near the heart of the eity. And the city cannot be seen for dust, smoke and fog, only its tall domes and giant chimneys stand like weird spec ters out of the fog below. And your friend finds an old tavern amongst the hills and dales and being closing time in the afternoon he has to prove we are travellers, having come from the heart of London, and then you are admitted into a house as old as the English hills apparently. It is full of curiosities, and barmaids dispense beer and whiskey to a whole house full of travellers. Then coming home in the evening you see all the gin palaces open and each one thronged by men and women, always more women than men, You see through the open doors crowds waiting in the public bars to be served. Men and their wives, men and their sweethearts, old and young, but a great many elderly women, form a constant stream .in and out of the bars on Sunday night as well as every other night in London. Fruit vendors, flower girls, match women and vendors of all wares, ply their trades on the street just as any other day. And you wander, Sir, if you are really in the centre of.Ohristondom, Some pack preacher exhorts to half a dozen careless listeners, while a photo- graph man, or a patent medicine ven- dor, draws a bigger crowd a few rods away. The great surging throngs are everywhere on pleasure bent. Drinking seems to be the first and foremost source of enjoyment: after that each one fol. lows his or her own bent. I am afraid Sir, that some of our Canadian puritans would have a fit of hysterics after spend- ing a Sunday on top of a London bus. The first thing that strikes you in London after a week is the difference between the sexes. The male Londoner is well dressed, well shaved and in all ways the acme of neatness and clean- liness. .Your impressions of the softer sex are very different. You conclude af- ter a week that there is not a good look- ing or handsome woman in London. The average woman, that can be seen on the streets, at the theatres, on the e busses, all over in fact, is plain to a degree, carelessly dressed, wears strong boots, and is so unlike the spie and span, natty, tidy and fresh Canadian girl or woman, that is very striking. You are just going to sound an Aus- tralian on the subject, when he opens on you in the same vein. He :et as much astounded as yourself. The Lou don woman has a virile nose, but there is always some pins left out of her dress and it drags or her skirt is torn and her hair is untidy. And she 1s so careless and and forgetful of it all. The Lon- don bar -maid famed for her beauty is not to be found. With your very .so- ber disposition you don't see many, but out of curiosity you stroll in and out of bars, just to see the far famed maid. They puff their hair, some are , very blonde, but none pretty. Some are pos- itively ugly, The ballet girls. paint painfully, but even paint cannot cover nature's stern decrees. Most of • the ballet girls are as homely as hedgehogs. After a time you see an occasional tine looking, well-dressed, tidy girl' or wo- man, but on the• streets of London they are a rarity.

TREMYMAINE, Man, Biddulph A fatal accident by which one of our old and most retpected pioneers lost his life, happened about two miles south of Granton, Monday evening. Mr, Alexander Langford, son., more famili- arly known here as "Big Sandy" and his daughter, went out to bring in the horses, which were on the road in front of his premises. Mr. Langford caught one and while leading him and driv- ing the others, was kicked by one of them over the region of the heart, breaking a rib: Death was almost in- stantaneous, his daughter,who was only a short distance in the rear, just arriv- ing in time to see him breath his last. The men are very different. Appar- ently every Londoner (that shaves at all, and most do) shaves every morning. Brightly, polished boots,.., clean face, natty clothes, with the inevitable silk hat, makes the'male.the male London- er, a model of a gentleman iu appear- ance at least. And if you venture out on the street after ten o'clock at night, especially in. the theatre neighborhoods, (no street is exempt) lines of women, old and young pester you as you pass and you find that the' only way to escape their importunities,is to threaten the police. That will free you for the moment. The loll e look on indifferently, unless ap• liarpley Dry weather still continues and the scarcity of water is beginning to be felt. -Mr. Richard Webb had a logging bee last Thursday and succeeded in getting his fallow completely logged Mr Thos.

The service in Carmel church in the morning was especially for the child- ren. The pastor fittingly illustrated his subject ” Light " by a number of wax candles of di librent sizes and colors and with, a spirit lamp in the centre, The services in the evening was in commemoration of the ninth anniver- sary of his settleinent as pastor. Both services were interesting and as we trust profitable. Dashwood,' Our "city" has a very dusty appear - epee and we are badly in need of rain.

Ohiselhurst. CIIVRou OPENING.—The "re.opening services of the Methodist Church here, on Sunday last was largely attended, thea beautiful and capacious church building was crowded, Overflow meet- ing in the church across the way being necessary. A grand tea meeting was held Mondayevening. Tea was sere ed in the basement from six to eight o'clock, where an elegant supper was served, the quality of the viands as well as the quantity, reflecting credit on the ladies of the congregation. Af ter tea the people repaired to the audi- torium to listen to a full and well ar- ranged program. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Waddel, performed the duties of the chair with entire satisfaction to the audience. Fully an hour before the pro- gram commenced the room was crowd- ed to overflowing, there being hardly room left on the rostrum for the speak- ers and the ehoir. The first piece on the paper was a recitation, "The death bridge of the Lay" by Rev. Kerr, of Hensell. Tho reverend gentleman is a good reciter, but his utterance is per- haps rather measured and deliberate to be graceful. Furthermore he was not Scotch enough to do the piece full justice. Rey. Mr. Henderson followed with an address. He spoke of the beau- ty and necessity of Christian unity and Christian sympathy, as well as large heartedness and liberality in the church Larger and better surroundings should, he said, be suggestive of a larger Christian life. Rev. Mr. Jewitt, of Elimville, followed with au address, spoke ofuta• character versus re He a p tion. Character was what we are be- fore God. Reputation was what we are before men. One of the first es- sentials of true character is truthful ness in the home. There were three or four different kinds of liars. Some are liars simply from habit or custom. Then there is the professional liar, you cannot tell him anything you have seen or done, but what he has seen or done much greater things. There is also the malicious falsifiers who lie in. order to destroy reputation. Another essential to true character was perse- verance or endurance. Rev. Mr. Atcheson, of Kipper, followed with an address. He said among other things that there is no power in the world to- day like the gospel. There never was a time in the history of the world when the gospel was so widelyspread as to. day, as when its influence was so pow- erful. In common with all the speak- ers of the evening he congratulated the Chiselhurst Methodists for their enter- prise in bringing to a successful com- pletion the, work of re -building and re- fitting their church, He hoped that the members would pray regularly for •their pastor, and also attend church regularly.The chairman then read the subscription list to the building fund and asked for contributions. He an- nounced the receipts: of the evening as $107' and of the Sabbath services. as. some $855. In a short time the whole amount of the church's indebtedness, amounting to $1056, was subscribed,' with Home $20 over. Rev. Mr. Kerr concluded with a short address when the meeting was dismissed. The dif- ferent addresdes if-ferentaddresdes were interspersed with music by the church ehoir who did credit to tberdselves and added not a little to the ,uccess of the evening's entertainment.

A young man named George Little. met with a very painful accident in. Donaldson's saw mill here, ou Thursday, It seems that Mr. Little and his father, Mr. John Little, who resides in Turn - berry, near Wingham, were on a visit to their friend, Mr. John Torrance, of Porter's Hill, Goderich township. On Thursday they went to Bayfield, and while there called on Mr. Doaaldsou at his saw mill. The mill was working at the time. Young Little was stand ing on the platform in front of the saw carriage. and, in getting out of the way of it, in same way or other his left hand came in contact with the saw, which inflicted a terrible wound, cut, ting off a portion of the hand and two of the fingers. Mr, Little was taken to Dr. Stanburry's surgery and had the injured limb dressed, and although he is stilt at Mr. Torrance's he is recover ing as well as could be expected. It will be a very unpleasant and unprofit- able visit for him, but, under the air eumstances, he is fortunate in escap- ing so well, as the wonder is that he was not killed.
