HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1871-04-14, Page 6arr., HE HURON EXPOSITOR. British Influence. It has been wrongly imagined by Many in Europe, and by very many in the United,. States, that Britain -was beccming an "effete monarchy,' by reason of her staneling so long aloof from the quarrels of the European Powers. But her position though neutral has been a" digni- fied neutrality." That it has been from no feelingor sense of weakness or decay, or from no avei seiess.-; to vindicate her rights and power and maintairr her ancient prestige, is evident from the position she promptly assumed when -Rtissi t challenged her influence in the Councils of Europe by wantonly dis- carding treaties solemnly entered cm, and which might materially in the end, effect British power and ' ascoa lancy in the East.- At once were all signs of lethargy cast off and the British lion instantly grow ld t 1 It d fi ince to th e ou a -mug ei e Russian bear, Whilst ominous sounds of portending warfare were heard throughout the land. To prevent Russia advaneing to the subjection of Turkey, and the possession Of Constantinople, Britain would stake her Whole might and pewer. The Turkish empire is too strong a bar- .rier between Russia and India. for Britain to allow it to be ruthlessly or hastily cast down. With a regian of 910,853 _square miles, and popu- lation of 155,358,090 souls under British administration, every bill - 1N ark for its protection must be maintained, and every highway to its conquest must be safely guard- ed-. Besides this, there are in Intlia native States governed by native Chiefs under. British protection, occupying an at ea of 645,117 square miles, with an estimated population of 46,4,888 souls. hisivast domain with. all its accru • g wealth and power, Britain mus s credly hold in her possession, an defeat in her policy and action th attempts of Russia. or any othe power to despoil her of her territor or riches. That British influenc is on the wane is contrary to reaso and to the facts of her history. He avast colonial -possessions are rapidl developing in wealth and population , and the Colonists are animated wit the same loyalty and patriotismtba preiail in the Fatherland, land i Britain's day of - need, if ever tha day come, will be to her not a sourc of weakness'.but a source of power The old land is also teeming wit i•osts of well-trained, volunteers thousands of whom have large expe rience in the use of the rifle, whils if danger was at hand, hundred of thousands more would doulatle rush to the rescue to maintain th honor and glory of- their country Knowledge has been widely difinsed and intelligence has made rapi advance among the British peepl during the last twenty years, and i would be contrary to the experienc of nations that this would tend t their enervation. Rather would i augnaent their moral force -andpe*er and give that spirit and energy, t face and surmount difficulties whicl only intelligence and high mora purpose can. give.

Dressing ,Frog si 'for Food. This morning I wandered through the market, and turning a corner, came suddenly upon li frog merchant, .who was busy preparing and selling . the little junipers.. On a table was a large bag, into 'which a boy put his hand 'nd took out a numbei of live frogs ; with a pair oir scissors be de - capital ed them -in rapid succession, at theisame tirne cutting the skin .of the back open, and then .threw them into ai large earthen id:;sli which con tained perhaps a *hundred more in the satne state. Although headless, they were all swiuiniing about -and jumping in the li -hest manner. After soaking for a sort time, they are taken out and dexterously skin- ned, and then thrown into a tub of , clear Water. Even after being be- headed and skinned, sone of them managed to swim arOund iii the tub and always tried to climb up the sides. They are sold by weight, and •cleaned, the feet cut off, and aie ready for t,he purchaser'who 'no doubt enjoys them more than 1 could after seeing the *ho e operation of .ki11in.—Extractfr4i. a letter from, _Florenc, Italy. 0 How to 'Make Farm Life Attrac- tive. . -1. • By less hard' work. Farmers often Undertake inore than they can do well, and consequently work too early and too late. 2. By .niere system. Farmers should have a; time to begin and stop labor. They should put more mind and machinery into ' their work.— They should theorize as wel4 as practice, and let both go together. Farming is healthy, moral and respet- able ; • and, in the long _run, may be made profitable. The farmers should keep good stock, and ,out of debt. • 3. By taking care of - health. Farmers have a heallthy variety of exerCiFie, but too often negleet clean- liness, eat irregularly and hurriedly, sleep in ill -ventilated apartments; and expose themselves needlessbr to cold. 4. By aderning the home. Books,. 1 papers, pictnres, music, and reading, should all li;e brought to bear upon the in -door family entertainments; and neatness and comfort, order, shrubbery, flowers and fruits should harmethze all without. There ufuuld -be fewer desertions of rold homesteads if pains were taken to make them agreeable. Ease, order, health and beauty, are compatible. with farm life and were ordained to go with it. ..•••• ' - - , Coal Tar For Fence Posts. , A cOrrespoOdent q the Cincinnati Gazette wntes :— FoFteeu years ago I built a yard fence around my dwelling of sawed Joel( posts 6x4.
