AT the Meredith meeting in Wingitnm
on et ednesday evening of this week the
calm, dispassionate address of Mr. Mere
dith was quite a striking contrast to the
impudent insult of Dr. Chisholm, who
affirmed that a block of wood with a hat
on would do as well at the Local Legis-
lature as rhos. Gibson, The Dr. vie

are not of the same opinion when the
polls close on June 5th. sir, Gibson is
noted for his honesty of purpose and
straightforwarduees of oharaoter. Dr.
Chisholm's statement had neither point
nor wit.
Tot: Scotch land court has ordered re-
ductiots of thirty-nine per cent. in the
recta ou tine Duke of Argyll's estates on
the Isle of Muil, and reductions of
twenty-seven per cent. on his Iona
estates, Thia proves that the Duke has
hitherto been exacting €100 a year rent
for land worth only tel from the poor
Crofters of :dull And yet it is alleged
that the Scotch and Irisin tenantry have
no germine grievaucee, though the courts
of the land declare in effect that they are
being robbed by greedy end heartlese
Iandlords.

Huron County, now of Toronto, is one of
the namber. Mr. Bruce is a very °lever
young man, sell -made, and as will be eh.

well qualified for the position :-Ho holds
a let class certificate ot the highest grade,
also an Inspector's eertifilnnte. He is uow

Mr. Bruce to the favorable eoneideration
of the members of the County Council. )
Tan Toronto Mull has this to say of
the 11lowat Government :-"The Ontario
elections will come off in June. The
}strongest argument in favor of giving
Mr. lfowat another lease of power is
furnished by the weakness of the Op•
position, Mr, Meredith would find it
difficult, if not impassible, to eonetruct a
Cabinet out of the material now at hand.

stitutions, Mr. Mowat is able to show a
comfortable surplus. In this respect the
contrast between Ontario and Quebec is
very striking. Instead of having a sur-
plus of five or six millions in the treasury,
Quebec has a debt of 630,000,000, and,
in spite of the direct team imposed on
commercial corporations and of other
reventte-raising devises, a fresh loan is
Inevitable, It must also be admitted
that Mr. Mowat has passed many pro.
gressive measures affeoting the general
interests of the community, and that, on
the whole, his management of affairs has
boon clean and free from scandal. These
are powerful reasons for giving him a
new term.
Ono of the most important railway
measures which have passed the Homme
this session was the granting of the soh•
sidy to the Calgary and Edlronton Rail-
way Go.

Chas. R. Flint, of New York a mem-
ber of the Pan. American gong 5552 was
1n the pity last week for the purpose of
preparing the reports of the Pan-Ameri-
eau Congress for presentation to the U.
S. Codgress. There was, he said, noth.
ing of general interest to be given to the
public at the present time. Mr. Flint,
who although large y interested iu the
rubber business never stretches the facts,
said he L'oked for,snnuoh gool to result
f out the interuationel congress. The
sessions being secret 'he press had not
given the whole action to the public, and

recommendations of the conference,
which are satisfactory alike to pro.
tectiomabs and free traders, the latter
seeing in them an approach toward the
practice of free trade principles, while
the former noted a practical extension
of the home market. The conference
was provided for by a Democratic presi-
dent and Congress and was carried out
by a Republican executive and Congress,
so, be said, there could be no polities in
it and it should not be looked upon in a
partisan light. The reports of 111e con-
ference would, Mr, Flint said, be pre.
sented to Congress within three or four
weeks, and then the world could better
judge of its works.
The Butterworth speech the other day

heretofore, Nobody questions the hon-
esty of the speech and the power of it is
what has made many angry, but it is not
expected to Have any effect upon the fate
of the McKinlay bill. The thing the
Republicans are troubled about is the
use that will be made of the speech by
the Deteriorate in the next campaign.
This or that feature of the bill may not
be approved of by independent Republi-
cans, and if all the Republicans who
Lave something in the bill to complain
of would combine there would be no
ohauce of the passage of the bill ; but
they are not combined and it is regard-

The spring maoagentenl, of bees says a
co respondent of the American Cultivat-
or, is au important part of the apiarist's
w,.rk. As soon as the rod buds of the
soft maple have put for h their heads,
natural pollen for the bear will be plenti-
ful. This unusually occurs in May, and
during this month large quantities of
brood are raised. The soft maple is al-
mostuniversally dislribnted ; but in
l.'nalities where it cane" t be found, nor
the willows either, it is well to place in
some sheltered piece, where the wind

mixed with sawdust or out straw.

head, "0 if Ito weather continues cold,
wet and damp. The object is to get the
Basel( to inarees5 rapidly, and the more
nos , food that the bees get, the faster
will the stools increase. If rainy and
cold weather sets in, and honey is Boone,
the bees will begin to edroy their worst
by thr ,wing out the hatching brood.
The greatest °ere is thus required eo see
that they are well snppiied with appro
prime food, whether the weather be fair
or unpleasant.
The time of transference from old box. -
hives to movable frames is when the
fruit trees are in bloom. In doing thio
work, however, the brood nest should not
oe exposed too long, as it is liable to get
a chill which would ruin everything. If
honey is scarce, rob'ars will be flying
around ready to Suter the hive. The
moth miller, especially, will he prepared
to begin its destructive work.
The oars of the bees during the spring
also depends on the object for which
they are kept. If they are kept for in•
creasy alone they should be fed every
night until honey is abundant in tho
woods and fields. As fast as the combs
become filled with the queen, insert new
ones, which the queen will begin to fill
with eggs. If the combs are hill of
honey, so much the better. When the
drones oommenoe to hatch the oolonies
should be divided, taking the queen to
the new stand. A new queen will soon
be reared by the old colony. It this way
the stocks can be about doubled fu one
season.
Of course, if honey is the main object
in keeping the bees, top boxes shoald be
added as soon as the baee begin to hang
out. The full boxes should be removed,
and empty ones put in their place. When
the boxes are hill of honey the bees will
hang out, and frequently build queen
cells and leave the hive in a body.

of the job."
"Why -equally so with the others."
"Listen to ate a moment. In Ude pa-
per, Pierson is at pains to state that Par-
ker had no knowledge of his previous
life -that he neve' know tll:tt 1 o bore
another name previous to that of Pier-
son."
"Yes, 1 remember; I see what your
line of reasoning will bo,"
"Well.
Now he did know about the
Fountain and Simpson marriages. In
my interview with him he was only dis-
turbed when stalked of Fountain.. Ile
was lawyer enough to know that if there
was DO prior marriage, the Fountain
ceremony, whether mock or riot, would
be binding if the supposed Fountain
could be identified with the dead Pier-
son. hence his disturbance at my
knowledge of the matter -a knowledge
which at that time I did not have, but
most reckle. • assumed to have,"
"Well, but you forget Preston, the
drunkard.'
"No, I don't. This paper is dated 1821,
ten years ago, and in it is distinctly stetted
that old Preston, the drunkard, turned
up five yeti's previously. The old sot,
you will remember, wanted to argue
with Parker that he certainly was a
brother, because for fifteen years Pierson
had paid him money, and you must give
full weight to the answer of Parker, that
it made little difference whether looney
was paid him because he was a brother
or whether it was because he possessed a
secret which induced old Pierson to give
hush money -he was brother enough for
their purposes. Now this argues that
Parker was not fully acquainted with
this relation, and that he really enter-
tained doubts of the verity of the
brothership between the two -that the
relation, if not the acquaintanceship, be-
tween Preston and Parker had sprung
up singe Pierson's death."
"I see, I see. Yes, your reasoning is
close,"
"Now," continued Tom, "whatever
else eve may think of Parker, it won't do
to take him for a fool, And fool he
would have been to open up this prop-
ereyship question, by his own motion,
right on the heels of the murder, if he
had been guilty of it, or implicated in it.
The fact that he and bis client would
have been benefited by it would have
been too patent, and if be knew the rela-
tion'1'etnpleton bore to the property, he
had every reason to believe others would
knots It; and with a guilty conscience
would think that that fact would be the
first to be pitched on."
"1 am disposed to believe with you,
Tom."
"You will, tho 1000rs you turn Over In
your mind that scone int Varick street
and my conversation with Parkers I'jl
scud for the Shadow, and together we'll
go over the conversation again, and I'll
write down both for you to study etyma'
leisure. It is quite as important, to get
those out of the cuso who clivi not do it,
as to got those in who pratsibly could
have done it,"
"That is shrewdly put, Tont," replied
Holbrook. "But you flu not forgot Park-
er's call on me?"
"No, I do nob, That call, in my :judg-
ment, was to find if possible whether at
nob Pierson had been engaged in mock
matrimonial scrapes prior to the Foun-
tain episode, and of which hu had no
knowledge, Now, take fast hold of this
feat; Fountain could only bo a disturb-
