A fire in Copp Bros, foundry, Ham- ilton, Thursday last, caused damage to the amount of $40,000 A relic of tho Moutroal flood, allow- ing the severity of that terrible visit• ation, wits soon recently at the pi- ano faotory of Messrs. Evans Bros. tC Littler,some tint° this firm has been shipping largely to 11foutreal, and one of their orchestral square pianos wan caught by the flood while lying at the freight shed there, and was, for some timo, immersed in tho water. When shown to a report- er last week it presented a moat woe- ful spectacle. The instrument, which was perfectly new and an exception• ally fine piano, looks very dilapidated inside, all the strings and tuning pins being thickly encrusted with rest, while the action is completely ruin• ed. The covering of every hammer has been detached, and the innumer- able small particles of felt and wood in connection with the action warn scattered about the interior of the in. strdnlont in a moat chaotic state by the action of tho water. "Pica," of the Toronto News writ. ing to a friend who objected to the Salvation Army and its ways, gives the following reply, in which ho hits several very largo nails squarely on the head : "But the shouts and tho noise and the parades, and the uni- forms. Well, I can't help those tbiuge. I don't like them any more thou you do, though I've had to tako bitter medicine before to -day when no other medicine would do. But then you anal have a minister at $3,500 a year, and oushioned pews, and n big pipe organ to save us. The man in the gutter hes to take such salvation as comes in his way, and is offered limn. If the Salvation Army went down into the gutter io your way and my way, they would meet with the tame result-tb° man would stay in the gutter. After all, I don't know theta Salvation Army uniform is any more grotesque than the vestments of a bishop, and it is certainly more comfortable thou the black straight• jacket worn by the parson. The red blouse worn by Happy Bill is not half as ridiculous as the fur•trimmed robes of a supreme conrtjudge. Take Marshall Booth in his uniform, when on duty, and Hon. John Beverly Robinson in his uniform, when on duty, stand the two sill° by side and tell me which is the more sensible appearance. And then, if you ever saw Sir. John Macdonald on a state occas- ion, in the Windsor uniform, you would never laugh at a salvationist's garb again. Yon sec, those thinge are only as you get used to them, Why I would sooner walk down street with a pair of those wide -lagged, baggy -kneed pants, that were all the fashion a few years ago, and I wouldn't get laugh- ed at half as much either. As to the pokebonnetof the lasses. If our ladies would only all wear them at the theatre or in the church, there would be less profanity on the part of the male sex. The methods of tho army may not be to our liking, are not, as a matter of fact -but the teat of a measure is its success. The future of ' the movement ? Why, they will take the placo of the New Connexion Methodists in Oanade. Thoy will gradually drop off the more grotes• que parts of their methods, and will call their barracks temples, and knee drill will be prayer meeting, and so OD, and the gap will be filled. In time they, too, may become too re- epectable to go into the gutter. Then you and I will join them and'be em- inently puritanical and eorve the limiter with kid gloves on, while we sneer at some other society trying to do the work we have left undone. won't we, brother ? We won't have any brass band in the temple then, will we ? Nor we won't shout, and when we want to got people convert- Fwe'll send sway to the States and hire a wan to 00E00 and dont for us won't we? And when we see a drunk- ard in the gutter we'll report the policeman on that beat for neglect of .duty, won't we? And when the other society that comes after 118, 'tries to build a temple, we'll shout that it's all it moneymaking scheme any- how, and a travesty ou religion, won't we ? Of course no will, good broth- er. I'd rather neo 8 man spend hie money in a Salvation Army temple than in a gin mill. I'd rather see him woar a rod shirt and beat a big drum then see him wear rage and beat the bars of a prison cell.

A suit for $25,000 has boon oom• menascl in Toronto against the Amer- ican Watch Case 0o, for boycotting. Thomas McCormick, a confectioner and cracker baker, of London, Ont., is reported to have recently divided some $12,000 among has workpeopla as tlieir share of the profits.

A strange freak of prolific nature occurred on tbeifarm of Josoph Franks, near Hnrrietsville. A mare belonging to this gentloman foaled threo colts, two of whieh were dead, and the third died shortly afterwards. They were ell mares and had a white spot on the forehead. Crowell Wilson, formerly of Lon- don Township, has generously offer- ed to donate to St. Paul's church, Wingbam, the sum of $2,000 towards the erection of ti new church, on con- dition that those who subscribed to the parsonage fund will pay the amount of their subscriptions end thus clear off a'l present indebted - 12088 Tho work on the Canadian Pacific bridge at Lachine 1s rapidly going on, and so far the work looks substantial.

He and a number of other boys about the saute age wore amusing themselves by getting down on their hands and kaoos, placing the tops of Their heads together end trying to see which could push the other book. The boy in question was ao• knowledgedbest et tbb game, and his sans° of superiority led him to boast that he could lay out the old ram, The stump wits at once taken up by the other boys and all repaired to tho barnyard, whero the hard head drop- ped on his hands end knees and "blotted' his challenge. Tho ram at once noticed the boy, and as his at- titude was unmistakable, started to meet hint, gathering all his energies for tho attack. The boy, not oxpeot- ing so sudden a respouse, was just raising his head to see where his op- ponent was, waren he received a stun- nag blow ou the forehead that laid him on his back and brought the brood streaming from his mouth and nose. Tho ram wee preparing for a second attack but the boys, who were thoroughly frightened by the first round, drove him off with sticks and carried their "champion" auto the house, where he lay for 50010 titne be- fore he could remember facts with any distinctness.
