HON, MI3 •ArepOUGALL While
in conversation with the late ,444,ndfie1d
'llacdotitthl, who uab a staunch RefOrtn-
er, he asked idol, how he got along With
Oaanerou, hie Tory eolleague. Mr.
Macclenald responded that he found no
aline lay et ell with Mr. Catneren-he
wee VjU111 te listen to advice, and ten-
ded to Strengthen the Gavernmet where
it ;vas thought by sonie Ike would em

bermes it. And further, he could trost
Mr, Cameron, while he coeldn't trust
oue of his Reform colleagues. o We
won't wager ten cei ts that he didn't
mean E. B. Wood.
Sonsenf the Grit papers, headed by
che ,Globe'e 'pet brother," are endeav-
oring to breed disaffection in the Con-
aervutive camp. They have discovered
mare'it nest in the fact that Hon.
McDougall has been chosen as
the Oppesition candidate iu the contest
for tlse roPresenta,tion of &nth Sinicoe
in the Local House. Thesejournals are
pelf -appointed guardians of the Con-
•aervative party, and in their anxiety to
s' elevate rue standard of morality"
eemotigst the tloneervatives, they are
in 'danger of lowering it (if Possible)
in their own party. It was ,held. by
them that because Mr. MeDougall re ade

fore receive the hearty suppikt of Con-
Servatives when he appear! ati an op-

tragant Goner
2143e4-that has yet octal -
pied the Treasury benches of this pro-
finefa According to their theory neia
thee time nor circumstances sheuld
'aluinge n. man's pslitical faith. We
wonder if these same scribes forget
that circumstances over which Ir. Ed-
ward' Blake had .some control had a
or9ab deal to do with the change in Mr.,
X, B, Wooi's politieal opinions some
four years ago. We wender if thee
forget that circumsta,ncee altered the
faith of.Mr. John Hawkins. We won-
•elor if they forget, that Sir -John Mac-
.slonald's refusal to take Mr. Cartwright
into his Cabinet was the means of pre-
siding the present Government with a
Finance Minister, and that the same
reaS013 provided the Government with
,ps Minister of Militia, in the person of
W." Boas. Peans were sung over
the Sccitusition of thee men, and they
were arduously hugged to the bosom
• pf the Beform party. But yet it is
quite wrong for the Cousetvatives co
welcome any deserters from the Grit
ranks, no matter uuder what circum -
•/stances the desertion takes place. it
• may be, and in this case is, that the
defeetion is caused by the parry forsak-
ing. its principles while the man 're-
mains firm, ; and this is where Mr. Mc-
Pougall differs from Wood, Hawkins,
Cartwright, Sueith, Ross and other
1.10formers" who were reformed by
the bait of plunder. As Mr. McDou-
gall stated at Cookstown, he was a
Conservative -Liberal since 1867.. At
that tiine the leading Mell of the two
porties mutually agreed to bury the
1mb:sleet-to forget all past difficulties,
Ana to bend their energies. towards
building a nation out of the ,scattered
Pritish North American possessiots.
Mr, gaDougall was one nf the proud.
neat Reformers who followed. Mr.
roitte inti the et -impact, and because
130 was iridependont enough to remain
WO. to his word and refused to retrace
his steps when Mr, Brown retired at
faimied slight, he must needs be
branded by his former friends and elliea *
AO 6 traitor to his principles! He as

George Brown spread before' him for

agreed t� be bound.• Whersin lies Mr.

ANYONE Who IlitS paid any attention
to the debetee iu the House of Com-
mons during the eeesion recentlY eatea
must haVe been struelt :with the states-
manlike conduct of Sir John Macdon-
uld arid the other members of the Op-
position in comparisou with that of
Mitekenzie and his faetion during the
time he led the Opposition against Sir
John's Goveranneut. Sir John lent Lis
valuable aid. to the Government on
many occasions, suggested many valu-
able amendments to bills, and frequent-
ly voted with them literally fulfilling
his promise, on "" ;topping down and
out" that he' would give ,the uew. Goy-
ernment his sapport $o far as their
ineasuree met with his apProval- No
oue can poiut to any actions of the
kind on the part of Mackenzie. He
seemed to be always trying to remem-
ber that he was elected to oppose the
Government, and °ionise it he did,
were it action s good or bad. Sir
John's actions might appear as a trib-
ute to Mackeneie's ability and sound
judgment were it not for - the fact that
Mackenzie has to a great exteut follow-
ed out the policy of Sir John, which he
had previously condemned. A com-
parison of the conduct of the two men
toward one another will result in mak-
ing Mackepzie's factiousness stand out
prominently beside Sir John's earnest
and patriotic efforts in behalf of the
country.

trial was made of the throwing powers
of the " Rescue " on Monday last, and

On examination it was found that
something had lodged in the noazle.
A probe wasinserted and a large stone
the size of a hen's egg, driven out,
when she worked freely, and well,
throwing a heavy stream of water over
the highest buildings. This is a cir-
cumstance which leads to grave suspi-
cion. The stone was driven in by some
one, and the fact that the engine work-
ed well some two weeks ago, and be-
tweeh that time and the fire, • the ob-
struction had been inserted, leads aper -
son to think or some fool play.

Stephen and Ushorne Show.
" Success" has never, to as great a
degree, been stamped upon the efforts
of the Directors of the Stephen and
Usborne Branch Agricultural Society
and their Spring Show as it did on
Tuesday last. The show of met year
was in advance, of that of the year be-
fore, not only in quality of stock on
exhibition, but also in quantity ; but
this year was far -in advance of eny
previous year. A deep interest appears
to be taken in the society's work if we
are to judge from the number of sight-
seers. The display of horses was ex-
cellent. In heavy draught, the ° Bach
of England," which camel off the red
last year, and " Netherby," lately
brought into the couuty, were keen
competitors for the fleet prize. Four
horses showed in this class. In three
year old heavy draughts, the horses
shown were particularly well bred. The
two year olds showed a like improve -
went with the other ages. A ecinniug
trouble pervaded the breasts of the
three men of ribbons in the judging of
the general purpoSe horses. There
were five competitors for the prizes.
After an hour or more of talking, trdt-
ling, walking and running, the licirses
and attendants left the ring, the judges
being unable to decide and asking for
more judges. In the other classes it
would be impossible for us tcepartiea-
larize. Suffice it that all were excel-
lent. In Durham cattle, Messrs. John
Glen and.W. Hodgson showed two fine
bulls. Li two-year-old bulls we no-
ticed Mr. R. Manning's "Loudon
Duke," who makes the scales turn iet
2,030; the Slane gentleman also showed
a 10 Anooths Durham bull whose weight
on the day of show vat 845 foneals.

A SAD Aeteuen-A serio comic event
took place within it few miles of Luean
last week. A young man was paying
his addresses to a neighbor maiden
with a view to matrimony. The young
inan'e mother objected, but Ile continu-
ed to be self-wilied. Thereupon the
mother went down to a creek which
flowed near her house. No one was
theree. so she waited. till soineobe would
pass by, when she threw' herself into
the cold water. It was, not very deep
but she sat down and the water came
up to her neck. Assistande was Oro
curred to pull her out, but she struin
gled to stay in and drown. 'The thing
however couldn't be doo.o. It is
thought the youth will not now leave
the maternah, fold.

pressed upon her 1100, and seeing a moo
bending over her she gave a • scream,
on whieh the villain said that if sea din
not keep quiet he would blow out her

with the bed clothes. The scream,
however, awoke Mrs. Joues in another
