The old adage that tho .e who
won't believe must be made believe,"
will, we thick, soon be verified. Once
upon a time there was si man who had
himself hnagined thet ha aed his do-
ings WOTO immaculate, and he imagin-
ed that ao matter what he did nothing
eould possibly be made telt of it let the
crime be of as serious a nature as it
might. Such was this poor man's fail-
iug. But he never did anything to
require the penderous exigencies of the
law to be test iu force. In a sense he
somewhat resembled some of the poli-
tici tits`of the present time. It does
teeny efferd amus ement to watch with
what dramatic effort the party of shys-
tering:have dittplityed the mane giag of the
recent 'election. The men who assum-
ed the role of payinaeter tookthe great-
e4t, possible care to pay out money to
those who were his warmest friends
and etaunchest supporters, ,always be-
ing certain to excompany it with the
safe password, "Buy no votes," which,

...Strange, but nevertheless true, the
,late election was more particularly le-
gal than any other which has ever ta-
kea place in Canada. . None of Mr.
Cameron's agents swore to.. having
.spent meney otherwise than legally:—
But, they Must heveforgotten that Mr.
Cameron P-cknow1edg0 bribery by
agents, .FIis magnanimity must have
been great. if he knew that two thous-
and &Hare were given by him to defray
the legal expenses and that no bribery
was committed, when he, in the:face of
theee- rae.3 (?) filed a document stating
that brittery had been committed by
etgente. Two thoutteod dollars was not
the a tenott sum as spent by some few
thotinetde of dollars ,
As, to the matter of disqualification

THE CREMATION of Lady Dills°, the

as being thefirst instance in England
where a person at all publicly known
has disposed of his dead se highly ap-

the details' of the affeir which have

should Sir Charles essay Political life
again, he would find his prospects of
success somewhat obscured by this de-
