An Englishman by the name of John Blake has a traveling show that even the :most optimistic could not dignify by the inarne of circus.

Bicknell contributes to The Century an article on"lierie Antoi- nette as Dauphine," which contains moth new matter drawn from the state papers at Vienna. Miss Bicknell says: Marie Antoinette josephe Jeanne of Hapsburg -Lorraine, archduchess of Awe tale and future queen of France, was born on Nov. 2 (feast of All Souls), 1755 ---the day after the terrible catastrophe at Lis- bon, when that city was nearly destroyed by an earthquake, Maria Theresa's daugh- ter was taught the correct pronunciation of Frenoh by two actors of the Theatre Francais, while the French Abbe de Ver - mond was appointed to direct her educa- tion, which, however, was unhappily very incomplete. The writers who glorify the maternal care and vigilance of Maria Theresa are contradicted by the most trust worthy witnesses, the truth seeming to be that the great empress, engrossed by her political cares, left her children far too completely to the discretion ofgovernesses and subordinates, who were neither very capable nor perhaps very conscientious. Drawings were shown to the empress as the work of Marie Antoinette which the latter afterward declared she had never touched, and this "make believe" system seems to have been carried on throughout. The Abbe de Vermond direod only her French studies, but although a good and well meaning man, the,results which he obtained were far from creditable to his efforts. He does not seem to have had the art either of interesting her in any serious pursuit or of acquiring proper control over her mind and character. Her hand- writing even, as proved by autographs, was utterly unformed and childish at the time of her arrival at the court of France, and her spelling was defective. FATHER Of THE HOUSE BEAD.

France Apparently Dent 1:3Pon Forcing Great Britain Into War. London, Jan. 17.—Tomporarily over- shadowed, tho movements of the French on the Upper Nile are again becoming unpleasantly prominent to those who imagined that Great Britainhad undis- puted claims upon those regions. It is immaterial to dismiss the exact where- abouts of the French expeditions. It suffices that, according to the balk of the evidence, they have penetrated to Bahr- EIGhazel, the most fertile province of the Egyptian Soudan, with the distinct mandate of their Government If this is true, and the declarations of successive British Cabinets mean anything, M. Hanotaux, the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, has brought about a casus bent Thus far, M. Hanotaux seems to have the advantage, but the game is dangerous. Fear of war with France will not stop Great Britain from recovering the whole of the Egyptian Soudan and driving out any French expeditions which may be found there, when, in the opinion of the Marquis of Salisbury, the proper time has arrived. In the meanwhile, Prince Henry of Orleans is fitting oat, at Marseilles, and evidently with the approval of the Gov- ernment, an armed expedition to subdue the equatorial provinces which the 'togas presented, claiming they belonged to Abyssinia in prehistoric times, but in reality these provinces are identical with those Great Britain is seeking to restore to Egypt. So, perhaps, there is some truth In the story that the activity of the Brit- ish is due to the Egyptian intelligence department learning that the French Abyssinian troops have reached Fashoda, that King Menelik is preparing reinforce- ments with the intention of following up this success and that common policy, which is morally supported by Russia, unites France and Abyssinia.

An Asylum Guard sheets Himself—Says He Intended to Fire at a Rat. Toronto, Jan. 17.—George Wilson, a gettrd at the Asylum for the Insane, was walking around yesterday with a bullet in his head. He shot himself at the asy- lum in the 'morning. The bullet was located by the Roentgen process last night, tho injured man welkin° from St. Michael's Hospital to Dr, E. E. King's office on Queen street oast, where his head was exposed to tbe X-rays and the bullet located behind the temple. He went back to the hospital and will be subjected to an operation today. Wilson says he HMV a rat and took his revolver to shoot it The weapon, he says, discharged accidentally while he was ex- amining it and the bullet entered his forehead. The noise of the report alarmed the house surgeons, wbo attended the wounded guard andsent him to St. Mich- ael's Hospital. Mrs. Thomas May Recover. There is some hope for the recovery of Mrs. Thomas, whose husband shot her on York street last Monday.

In Jas. 11, 6, we read of the poor of this world rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom. In 111, le, we reed of an untested and. poor' people whe triiht irt tho Lord. But it Is not their poverty, but their fettle that ;mites tlaem to Christ. Our Lord speaks of the poor and coutrite spirit diet trent- blee at His Word; the hrelten and contrite heart teat is acceptable to Him (Ise. Jell, 10; Levi, 2; Ps. II, 17), 4. "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be oomforted, " If we cousider the tined= and the glory of the King, yet to be manifested, and. then see Rim as the Teacher sittiug here in humiliation uttering these words, we shall be greatly helped in our 'need/lett= thereon. Of all the sorrowful people that ever lived on eerth WaS prteentinently tne man of SOZTOWS auti aeuntonted with grief (lea. 1111, 8)- and yet He is the Father of teersies and God ot all comfort (II Cele. i, 3), who comforts us even Isere, that we may comfort others while we wait for the fullness of oomfoet at His coming (I These, iv, 13)- 6. "Blessed are the meek, for they shale Inherit the earth." His glory shall be the fulleess of the whole earth, all the king- doms of the world shell be Me and ours with Him (Ise, vi, 3, margin; Rev, re, 15; John xvii, 22 ; Rom. vitt, 17, 18). None on earth, not even Moes, meekest of men Of Ms time (Num, etie 8), was ever as meek, as Him, who midi am meek, and low- ly in hearts Since the earth Is ours we eau afford to let others have it just now it necessaxy and be miscalled and misunder- stood for so doleg 6, "Blessed. aro they whiclt do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled." We must still keep before us the kingdom when the earth shall be filled. with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord and the King Who is righteous. nese itself, the Lord our righteousness, the righteous Lon], who loveth righteousness (Jer. xxiii, 6; Ps. xi, 7). Of course there is in each ease a present application while waiting for the kingdom, and every disci- ple may daily be filled with the Spirit SIN.% 7. ',Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy," Part of His name is the Lord, the Lard God, inerelful and gracious (Ex. xxxlv, 6). He delights to exercise mercy or loving kindness (ler. 23, 24), and the earth shall yet be tilled with it, but now He longs to fbad those who will be the bearers of it to others. Wherever any one is willing to show many to others, they shall obtain freely an abundance of it to pass on. It is a great mistake to desire anything just for ono's own use, Our Lord never lived unto Him- self, but having all things in Him, if We are willing to be channels of blessing to others Hewill seetbat the channel is filled. 8. "Blessed aro the pure in heart, for they shall see God." He alone was truly puro in heart, and He was God. When we see Him, we see God. Some day we shall see Him and be like Him, even as to our bodies (1 John ill, 2; Phil. iii, 21). Now we are to behold Him in the glass of His word (II Cor. iii, 18), and in proportion as we do we shall be changed into His image, so that others seeing Him in us shall want to know Him. 9. "Blessed. are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God." As God is the God of Peace and. the Lord Jesus the Prince of Peace, we are acting very much like children of God when we carry peace everywhere. When the king- dom comes, there will be peace on earth, war no more. As those to whom the king- dom belongs We axe to carry samples of it in our daily life—love, joy, peace for all. We are chilrlisn of God by faith in Christ Janus (Gal. bit, 26), and there is no °thex way to become a child of God. But being such we are to manifest it and yield. so fully to God that He may do all He desires to through us to carry peace through Christ CO all people. 10. "Blessed are they which are perse- cuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven," The world will not tolerate this kind of life any morethan It tolerated John the Baptist or the Lord jesus. In the eyes of the world, even the religious world, this life of the kingdom with its lowliness, sorrow for sin, meek- ness, righteousness, mercy, purity and peace, is simply ridiculous, fanatical, not fit for the times; may do well enough for old people and little children, but men and Women who are men and women in- deed (in their own estimation) will not put up with it, or even suffer it to be taught if they can help it 11. "Blessed are ye when men shall re- vile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake." In other -words, if, for Christ's sake, you are lied about (see margin), mis- represented, slandered, falsely accused, things said about you. without a particle of foundation you are a blessed person, for you are thus privileged to have intimate and wondrous fellowship with your Lord. 12. "Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for - great is your reward in heaven, for so per- secuted they the prophets which were be- fore you." Fellowship with the prophets and with Christ and with God Ilimself—do we in any sense appreciate it or are we Inclined to rams/nnr at these things when they come to us and say, "How unjust, how unreasonable, how strange! We will not stand it!" and thus by the lack of meekness and patience miss His present approval and also the reward which He would gladly give us in that day if we would only put up with things for His sake? See the special reward for enduring in Jas. i, 12; Rev. it, 10; and trust Him for grace t,o accept anything for His sake SI only He can be gloritied RAINY RIVE,FI SETTLERS.
