Dear Bailie, the result o' an influenti- ally eignsd requisition, asking 0110 tae etaund for M, P., was a meeting I held last Friday tae address the electors an' non-eleotora (only they're a' electors moo.) I needna gie ye my speech, but I finished up a thrilling address ern a glowing peror alien, whioh run in this wise :- "Yee, gentlemen, if ye want tae mak' the Saltcoats district o' burghs staun oot boldly before the nation at large as a burning and staining lioht o' enterprise, loear heidedness, an' influence, dinnavote for ony 0' thee carpet -baggers free Lon- don, that come down hare wi' a toothpick an' a Olean collar, an' ken as little aboot the wants o' the &Istriot as my wee man- ager kens aboot Julius Caesar. No, no, never min' them ; support your fellow oitizen, that can lay bis haun on bis herr an' say his wants are the same as the dis- trict's, an' the district's are the same as his. Rally roon the star-spangled banner that floats proodly, for this occasion only, free the tap o' the opal roe, an' some boldly tae the polling booth, wf' a clean face an' an upright hart, an' record your vote in fear an' trembling, remembering that into your hands is committed the wall -being of this great empire. Gentle. men, I'm moo ready tau answer ony ques- tions." (Great cheers.) At this up gets Mr. Balderetone, an' says-Wid the honorable gentleman sup- port a bill for legalising marriage wi' a wife's deceased sister ! (Cries of "Aha 1 where are ye moo 2") Mr. Kaye -But what d'ye went tee marry a deid woman for ? Ur. Balderetone-The right honorable gentleman didna underetaun me. It's the wife that's deid, an' no the sister. Mr. Kaye -0h, it's the wife that'sdeid. Weal, why didna ye marry the sister first ? (Cries of "The auld boys' cute.") Mr. Balderetone-Ah, many a time i wished I had. Mr. Kaye-Weel, the next time ye're thinking o' matrimony, marry aye the sister first ; bot, sae fear as Pm concern• ed, ye can marry your wife's deceased auntie, or her grannie if ye like -if ye're pleased, it's name o' my business. (Great cheers.) Mr. Dinmont-Would the gallant col- onel vote for Henry George's plan o' di- viding the land ? Mr. Kaye-Weel, I wid like tae see a calculation made first. If I wis tae get mair than I brive, I wid support a bill for dividing the land, the Biller, an' a'. tbegither. Isn't that fair ? (Cries of 'Quite fair.") Mr. Hatteriok-Wid the candidate vote for payment o' members ? Mr. Kaye -If I get in I will -if I don't I'll no. An Eleotor-Dose Sir Jeeme think it 0008180801 wi' his position as an elder tee staun at the kirk door Sunday after Sun• day, baunin' Dot hie address tae every one that gangs in, instead o' attending tae his duty o' watcbin' the plate 2" (Cries '0' "That's intoe him.") Mr. Kaye -Gentlemen, alioome tae ex- plain. I had glen the minister some valuable assistance on the Disestablish- ment question, an' he agreed tae let me be the elder at the plate for a wbeen Sun. days, an' I will acknowledge I gird every one that geed in one o' my addresses, wi' a wheen lozengers rowed up in't. They read it in the pews tae wile awn' the time till the minister began ; but it served two good purposes -it brocht my views before them, an' prevented them meditating on their aiu worldly concerns. (Cheese an' cries of " Qaite richt.") An Elector -What is your opinion of the Aurora Borealis ? Mr. Kaye -I wid vote for the total alp olition ort a'thegither. Why should the working man bas tae pay taxes for the support of the Rory Borealue ? (Cries of "Bravo," and "You're the man for us.") Mr. Wylie -Hoo many acres 18'0 we've tae get, Mr. Kaye ? Mr. Kays --Three an' a ono -but min' ye that's only if ye vote for me. If ye vote for the ither man ye'Il no get as much as wid feed a rabbit. (Cries of , "We'll avote for you.") MYlr. Wylie -Hoo often is the land toe be divided, did ye say ? Mr. Kaye -Every Saturday ; but there's this proviso, that if ony man's land gets dune in the middle o' the week he may sign it requisition tae the Provost, saying he's dissatisfied, an' +ben the Provost is hound tea divide it ower again witboot waiting tae next Saturday. Could ony- thing he fairer than that ? (arise of "No I No 1") Mr, Muoklebackit-Will the candidate see that a royal reeidenoe is built in Salt. Coate, an' that eome o' the Royal Family maids in it permanently ? (Cries of "Mak' it hot for him, Steenie; ') Mr. Kaye-Certaiuly,genttemen ; that's smatter I've aye intended tae speak tae the Prince o' Wales about, for I hie his Royal Highnesses' own asauranoe that he wid n80er ask tae leeve in a more en- chanting spot, an' where he wid be able tae hoe a gemm at the dominoes wi' Mr. Pinkerton an' me, (Deafening cheese.) Mr. Faireervio0-Ie Mr. Kaye in favor o' looal. option. Mr. Kaye-No,gautlelaen, 1'rn in fa. ver o' individual option--tak' it or want it -but Tu certainly no prepared to want my gess q' toddy boobs() anither man 'Ikea lemonade best. If we gie fn tea than nations the nett tbing'11 be the vege' tenons wanting tae boo looal option tag shut op the butobore. (Ores 0' "Belly for yon,") • Mr, Sampson -Is Mr, Kayo in favor o' free education ?" Mr, Kaye-X'roe education, gentlemen! Put me in an' it's np (MIS frae education year bairna'11 get, but free books, an' slatee, an' free pinafores, and fres hon. nets -aye an' free peevere an' fres boots - In fas' everything '11 bo free. Mr. Sampson -An' wheur's a' the mom ey too come free ? Mr. Kaye -Oh 1 we'll jist find that oot as we go alang, an' if ft works wool we'll then gie y0 free butter, Tree ham an' eggs, au' free sausages ; in short the law '11 be that yell pet help yereel' too every- thing at a shop door as ye walk along, Every hoose '11 be ahatohed wi' panoakee, an' milk an honey '11 flow dorm the streets 0' Saltcoats, But really, gentleinon, the disoussion o' polities is dry work.

He says the blank folk ou the plantations Dot there denier, it when they're sgnoezin oot the sugar. Order 1 order I for the ohairman'o sang. Isere the ohairinan cleared his throat, an' turned up his eyes to the (Assailer, an' began to Bing - "I hear the pibroch sounding, sounding, Sweet ower the mountain an' glen." Man, Bailie, et this point, mine'eprom- feed tae be the happiest political meeting ever held in Saltooats. Everything went on fine. The audience hobbit their pipes, an' we up on the platform a'had ceeguars -we had sent oot for a shilling's worth. Then we emptied a wee flask o' brandy as it was surprising hoo dry the smoking made us a'. Then we lay bank and dreamily listened to the Bangs, In fan' at this time a' went meaty as a marriage bell. After a wee we sent ower for the minister's fiddle, an' he played "Tnllooh. gorum" on't, an' Mr. Pinkerton an' the lamplicbter waltzed room the chairs, an' up an' doon, an' back an' forrit, an' I beat time wi' my silver-heided walking stick. But there's some evil disposers minds in this wart', Bailie, As we were a' enjoying ooreels innocently somebody screwed Dot the gas, an' then there wis a hubbub. The minister's Addle got snob a dunshing that be's mending awe' at it yet wi' sticking plaieter. The leading Radi- cal was lowered ower the gallery by the legs, the orood below tearing him by the hair a' the time. Mr. Pinlrerton's leg got hackled fn amang the chairs, au' he fell an the tap o' the minister, wha, put- ting oot hie haun' tae save bimetal', drew me doon, but I didna fa' alone. I grippit two o' the Liberal caucus frae Glasgow, an' if I didna mak' them look two ways for Sunday when I scrambled up it's queer. As I cam' doon wi' my etiok on the shootbere Brat o' ane, an' then the ither, I cried oot, "That's theEstabliebed Kirk," an' that's "Local option," an' that's "the eohtpenny income tax," an' that's "General Gordon," an' that's "Free Education," an' that's "one-sided Free Trade," an' that's the six millions o' murdered Soudanese," an' as I gied a olour now on ane o' their holds, an' now on the ither, I Dries, "en' that's the ban- ner millions your "G. 0. M." has run us in for." Indeed, I wis maist oot o' breath by this time, but I heard the minister whisperiu', "Ob, Mr. Kaye, be liberal." "So I am, minister," says I, "liberal in everything, liberal in my dealings,' an' then I caro' doon wi' anither reestle on their banks. Bailie, my thoom'e sprained yet. Hoo - ever, I need hardly say that I've altered my mind. Seeing the kin' o' clamjam- ffray that's going in noo, I'm going tae remain oot. JESUS Katz. TIIINGS USEFUL TO 71NOW. That if a 0crew is soaped before it is put into wood 11 is much easier to put in. That a teaspoonful of powdered borax added t0 cold starch will tend to give the linen extra stiffness. That banana peel will Olean tan shoes as well as regular dressing. That cauliflower used for pickles should be prepared by first boiling the vegetable. That pole rings Dan be made toren eas- ily by rubbing the polo with kerosene un- til thoroughly smooth. That all rugs when shaken shoald be handled by the middle and not the ende. That salt dissolved in alcohol will take out grease spots. That rain water and white pantile soap in a lukewarm suds are the beet mixture in which to wash embroideries. The moths dislike newspapers as much as the prepared tar paper. That court plaster should never be ap- plied to a braised wound. That a very dine pen is beat for mark - fag with indelible ink. The storm serge is the best material for ladies' oycling suits. That fruit is more healthful in spring than any other season. If any foreign substance is swallowed whish is sharp, a needle, for instance, do not give an emetic, but confine the diet to mashed potatoes for two days. Wood ashes very finely sifted are good for scouring knives and tinware. Gum arable and gum tragacanth in equal parts, dissolved in hot water, make the beet and most convenient mucilage to keep in the house. To clean a sewing maohine of oil and dirt go over it with a wet rag and coat oil. When lamps are not used for a week or more, the oil should bo poured out, or the stale oil will clause an unplea8a01 smell when next it is lighted. Bite of toilet soap whioh arev0ry email may be utilized. Make a bag of Turkish toweling about nine inches square and put in it all the small pieces of soap. When three quarters filled, sew up the ends and use the same n0 if it were a cake 00 amp, Try thin slices of pork on the breast of a turkey or chicken when roasting. For a very had burn melt beeswax, and into this poor sweet oil until it makes a salve which can be readily spread with a soft brush. Keep every pert covered with the salve. Powdered starch will take stains out of linen if applied immediately. Tea Maisie may be removed from a tablecloth by immersing it in a strong solution of Sugar for a few minutes, and then rins- ing in oat water.

Wouid you, dare to tell hint to take that neon 0011ie11 the aooidonts wore 00 008140ent, because it wee the most fashionable ?" You would Bay at once, "Yoko the safe toad, my boy." And that is just what we temporanoe folks( say. "800 008." Th1010 the sign they put out. You would think from the beautiful way in which they fit up their plaaee with 0lained glass and mirrors, and marble, that they must be doing something very grand inside. If somebody would only make a business of fitting up lateens according to directions which I will now give, I believe the whe. key thugs would soon have to go out ofthe business. Go tp the drunkards' graves (nearly a hundred thousand are said to be made each year) and take out all the bones. Dover the walls of the saloons with the skulls set abase together. Take the long bones of tbo arms and legs, and make them into wheels to decorate the gelling and use the smeller bones of the fingers and back for rosettes to fasten up in or. namenting the ceiling still farther. There might be motto made here and there in the walls for statuary, and into these might be stood some of the living drunk. ards dressed in their rags. Do you think there would be many customers found for ouch saloons as these ? Perhaps you think it would be well not to fit up any saloons at all, not even in the terrible fashion I have desoribed. I quite agree with you. I think a better way would be to put a stop to the whiskey business. Our Government could do it a good deal as the English Government is patting a shop to thug business in India; that ie by having a special police for their oapture. It is called "The Thngeo Department." When they are captured they are shut in prison. But, alas 1 I am sorry to say our Government does not seen disposed to stop the saloon tbags. Instead the traffic is legalized. I hardly expect you will know what that mane. Well, it is just this :-Our Government says to the whis- key men, "If you will pay us so moot money every year we will give you per. mission to go on with your business." And what a pile of money every year these whiskey men pay in to our Government! Let us stop it. How can we do it? By being out.and.oub for temperance our- selves ; by trying to get everybody we can to be for temperance ; by learning temperance pieces to speak at sohool, so that byand-bye we shall be able to make temperance speeches in halls and Ohara - es and everywhere ; by just making our- selves hate the smell of a saloon ; by praying that God will help the men and the women who are trying to give up the drink ; and by.and-bye, voting against any man for Dominion, Provincial or Mnnroipal office, who drinks liquor or is willing to legalize ate sale.

Several cases of diphtheria have been reported in Usborne and to prevent rapid spread of the msledy the church and school at Elimville have been closed. One of our merchants was brought before 0. Snell, J. P., on a charge of de- frauding the mails, and was mulcted in a fine of 510 and costs. Tbe offence was not done with an intent of defrauding the mails, but it seems the party had sent some faathere to a firm in London, at- taching a small tag to each feather on which was written the calor the feather was to be dyed. However, this will be a warning to others. The information was laid by Deputy Inspector Fisher, of Lon. don. This week we reoord a railroad fatality which brought extreme Borrow to the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. Grigg. of Montreal West, former residents of Exeter, It seems their little son Morris Bertram had been in the habit of leaving hie home and going to the depot to meet hisfather, who is a traveller, and ou Thursday last as usual went to the station with probably more eagerness than ever before, as bis father had promised him a pooket knife on his return, but before his father ar- rived a paoaing,train struck him, and it is supposed killed his almost instantly. It appears no person witnessed the accident. Sig remains were brought here and in- terred in the Exeter cemetery. He was a bright, promising lad of nearly seven years of age.
