He said ho did not know. I told him I had made up my mind tc charge $6 par mouth for tho wood shop and the use of the paint shop. He never made me nu answer, either for or against, bot tarned to his bench and wont to work. I said being he was a little surprised ho could think over it nest week and bit ma know. Loft the shop malt the impression ho did not want the shop and wroto to a party in Walkerton who offered me 0100 for the shop, if the blacksmith's shop was doing the same am• aunt of business it was 8 Toon ago when his brother WAS wonting with me. I wont to Holland and told him and likewiso said I should like his answer. Ho snid didn't I think it a largo rent ? I said I did not, A dollar por week for the shop ho was working in and flfty cents for the paint shop. He said ho did not think he could make it out of it, and again commenced work. I took it for granted lie did not wind the shop. I thou rented the shop to another man, as good a workman as seed to lift a tool. I went to Holland the lost of August and saki that his time would be up to -night and he said he didn't ]snow I wanted nim to leave the shop. I said I would like the shop dewed out as I oxpootod another to take possession to -morrow about noon. IIs said ho had some work to finish and he would like the shop for another month. I said I could not do it, but perhaps the party dom- ing would not object.

Brussels, Sept, 6th,18811.y T. HuaTSn. Jottings by the Way. Dion Srn,—We have been here the last ten days in a busy round of sightseeing. San Fraucisoo is a wonderful city of only 80 years, full of life and on0rgy. The evi. dentias of its golden wealth are visible at every hand. The population is 800,000, 60,000 of whish aro Chinese, with every other nation fully represented. Fine stat- ely buildings, mostly wood, grape its busi- ness blocks, crowded with busy mon and woman all extra well dressed and the great- er proportion of their residences aro beaut- ifully and artistically designed, surrounded with Mowers and shrubbery of the'prottiost dscriptiou. Luxuriant etreot oars are to bo found on every street, all doing a brisk business, it is indeed often difficult to cross a street they are ao numerous and aro most- ly driven by underground wire cables, no horses, and run mil lay. The climate 10 most delightful, an average of 70 degreoe the year round. Many lading. are to be seen wearing fur cloaks, Tho sea breezes moisten Dud keep the temperature mod- orato notwithstanding the bright hot sun. Tho rich mines of gold and silver bravo this country a big atart and mado many extrom- success is tio richt etc orich but the f its soilculminatingrand and the products thereof, Strawberries of best quality every month of tho year, ponchos, plums, grapoo, and melons so luscious and delicious, nper- loot paradise to us and a oure for all rho ailments almost our frail bodies aro heir to. Evorybody gets well here, don't matter what's the disinters so the poopbo claim for it. I just wish, Mr. Editor, I could send you a baeket of each so you could bettor discuss thoir fine rich qualities. All these fruits are being shipped eastward, proving better and more permanent than the gold mines and the farmers are all getting rich, 1501argo ocean ships aro now in the harbor awaiting the grain harvoet to oarry the wheat to England! which is equally ae suo. oegsful as fruit raising. 6 months in tho year, during summer, they have no rain and Southern California noede irrigation which 10 ooetly and not always available. Tho farthor north we got the lase irrigation and moister soil is found, go that when wo get up into British Columbia wo find thoro the Ramo rioh, luxuriant soil, although in loss quantity, more Rocky Mountains, tho 011110 delightful Climate, able to raffia the same grand fruits and grain without irri- gation.
