OTNS AND VOMMENT$
The Ontario Government has spent
three and a half million &tars in build-
ing aaylunis for the insane and idiotic,
and half e million it appropriated every
year for maintaining the same. In, ad-
dition to this, $548,000 has been expeud.
ed in erecting deaf and blind institutea,
and the annual coat of maintenance ia
nearly 0,000.

Britilsh statistics have upset another
old proverb. We must no longer be -
Bove a green Christmas makes a fat
churchyard- The figures of the last 30
years in England, according to a cable
correspondent, prove thab a ()old -winter
ia unhealthy, an3ijd winter ia heathy;
a hot summer is always unhealthy, end a
cold summer healthy. The old laws got
a good many hard raps these days.

TheEnglith gentleman who has lately
furnished the London Times with letters
on the statee"of Canada closes es five col-
umn. letter:in Seburday's issue in which
he says these "the day is praotioally past
when neither inferior goods or inferior
men can find a dumping ground in
Canada. The people of Canada now
appraise both men and good' at their
proper value. They are prepared to
take that which is good, but have
little nee for poor brains or poor
merchandise, as they can produce both
commodibies of the best grade."

mous yalue and at the southern end of
that great sea there is iron and coal in
such abundance as to justify Prof. Bell
in saying that the district thereabouts
may yet be the Pennsylvania of Canada.
Further south, ia the vicinity of Temia-
eamengue, there is a vast area of rich
soil capable of growing all kinds of
grain and scattered over the territory is
a forest large enough to provide traffic
for a railway for 70 years to come. A

The South Perth Reform conyention
at Mitchell last week is said to have
been the most doleful and sad that ever
came together in South Perth. Every
man that uttered a word seemed to feel
the uncertainty of the situation and a
vote to make Mr. Ballantynnis nomin-
ation unanimous was not asked for.
There are now three candidates in the
field, Mr. Race on the Patrons of In-
dustry and Independent -Literal plat-
form, Mr. McNeil as the official Patron
candidate, and Mr. Ballantyee as the
machine Liberal representative. It is
evident that the fight will be practically
between Mr. Race and Mr, ,Ballantyne,
Mr. McNeill not being likely to out a
heavy figure, not through any fauIt of
his for he is understood to be an honor-
ed° and respectable man in every way,
but because the issues which he repre-
sents have already an abler and more
capable champion in Mr. Race. Pro-
vided other candidates do not crop up,
which now seems unlikely, the fight
promises to be between the machine
element- on the one hand, and the in-
dependent manhood of the electorate on
the other, with the chances as uaual on
the side of the latter..

The Liberal majority in the Legisla-

or or against biennial sessions. He sug-
gested that his hon. friends (Messrs.
O'Connor and Clancy) should withdrew
the amendnaent and the amendment to the
amendment.
Mr. Meredith said that it seemed, to him
a mast desirable thing that there should be
a square vote, 'unembarrassed by the
amendment or the amendment to the
amendment. He thought members of the
House could go with 'Very bad grece to the
country and say thab they had sat there
during the present Parliament and drawn
$600 each, and not so very long ago
unanimously expressed a desire that the in-
demnity should be increased to $800, and
admit that they had nocketed the $600, and
inform the incoming members that they
should. only receive $300.

My Ownest Own, -
Since your cruel repulse from my side
at the hand- or, rather, the foot --of pa,
I have mused long and fondly, my
darling, on your daring proposition
that I should fly with you and be at
rest. I know it's naughty, and my
heart and my conscience reprove me,
but I'm ready to By with you, dearest,
to the utmost parts of the earth.
If I remember arighe, the instructions
were: Carriage corner street, midnight,
then away to a land where the scorner
is not. Terms to be made at leisure
with infuriated papa. Peace being
made, we are to return to Exeter, re-
ceive his blessing, seetle down, ancl live
happily ever afterwards,just like Arthur
and .A.ngelina, the couple in "For Love
and Fortune; or Love will Find a Way."
You know the book, love.
I do so hope nothing will happon to
prevent, our emcee:Es. If pa Slioniti catch
us before we are married -oh 1 Charlie,
I shudder to think of the eonsequences.
But with you, love, • rxri prepared for
the worst. -when you SOO ine in
eintrele and I shall know you expece me
to be ready ,when the fateful time
comes.
Ana now, Charlie, my- own beloved
arid meth -abused darling, adieu till we
rnoet at the witching liont of midnight
at the caner of the street.
YOure till death,
