A despatch from Ottawa says: The last instructions issued fiona the imnaigration Department to the offivers in Sherbrooke afford a gleam of hope for Thaw, inasmuch as the officers are not directed spe- cifically to deport Thaw at the New York State .beundazy. The insteue- tiaras are to carry out the regula- tions in regard to Thaw, as they would be carried out in regard to any other man. That leaves the officials free -to send Thaw back the way he eame, the usual course, if they see fit. The view of the immi- gration authorities ,seems to be that while Thaw is entitled to no favors, at the same time they are not call- ed upon to go out of their way to prejudice lais chances. It is be- lieved here that Thaw in accord- ance with the instructions to "ca,rry out the law" will re-enter the United States at or near the point of his.entry into Canada, and is in no danger of being taken to the New York Sate line.

Temperance and Insanity. One of the speakere at the medical con - grew now in session in London disenssed the remarkable growth of the temperanee movement in, Great Britain. Fre referred to the improved habits of army and navy officers, who are now expeoted to set a good example to the men under theni, as well as to the enormous change among the commercial and professional classes. Other observers, including the ellen- cellor of the exehequer, have been calling attention th the same gratifying phe- nomena, and the average man, without so much ao a glance at statistics, knows the statements regarding the spread of tem- perance th be true. It is undeniable, moreover, that the progress of temperance is not confined th England, 11 is world- wide. Now intemperance is a potent cause of insanity, and there should be observable everywhere a decrease of insanity' as one of the results of the gradual elimination of the drink evil. Yet, according to opeakers at the medical congress, insanity is growing, and growing at an alarming rate. In England it has increased 276 per cent. since 1860, although the population has increased only 87 per cent. Is the n'erease largely apparent rather than becauee of better registration and diagnosis, or le it aotwil? If actual, what are-ito causes?
