Pr) 1;4 L. A. %Tette. M. P. The success gained b:.r the Libe als in Montreal East was probabl the most important, ,as it was th most decisive, of the whole eau paign, since it shows a decide change in public opinion among tb French-Canadians. The question b ing „between Sir George E. Cartie «ie of the chiefs of the Govermnen who had it in his power to do Tarte for the constituency which woul elect him, and Mr. Jett% a comparl artily unknown lawyer with ver little influence, -few would have Sig posed that the latter could have aii chance of success, and yet he is re turned by an overwhelming majority As the man whohas beaten the re owned Baronet is not much know among the English-speaking popula 110, and is probably destined to ac a somewhat conspicuous pari in Ca. radian- politics, we give a shoe sketch of his life, with anexplana, tion of his remarkable success-. Mr. Jett -a was born at L'Assom ikon on the 15th January, 1836 M father, who is still living, was merchant. He was educated a DAssomption College ; became a law - student at 17 and was admitted t - the bar at 21 years of age, on th 2nd February, 1857. During the McDonald-Sicotte administration, in 16:2-3, Mr. Jette was chief editor of:L'02.cliv, supporting that Govern ment. Mr. Jette also conducted the cele brated Guiberd. case on behalf of the Seminary of St Sulpice, in which he Proved himself deserving of the con- fidence reposed in him by the Fa- briqne a lawyer, Mr. Jette has that tact and clear head which is far better adapted than eloquence to se- . ;cure success in the practice of Civil taw. Notwithstanding the boast of several parties who claimed to have personally discovered the mine of arguments which served as the foundwork of the judgment render- ed by the Oourtr of Appeals in the Guibord case, Mr. .Jette had left no place for the ex post facto ingenuity of either colleagues or judges. From the beginning - he had / chosen the spot where he ,aould achieve a vic- tory, if victory was possible, and he required no Ariadne's threa.d to reach iL The Gazette de Gand (Belgium) edited by Liberals a the advanced school., who did not:, approve of the judgment of that Guibord case by the Court of A ppeals, rendered full justice to Mr. Jette in. their impar- tial appreciation of the argument. As a consequence of the good opin- 'ion commanded by his mode of cle- fense, Mr. Jette was soon after ap- pointed correspondent of the Revue • Droit Internationa ol Ghent, and elbeted one of the only two Canadian members of the Socigte de Legislation Compare of Paris; Mr. Gonzalve Doutre being the other one. • Mr. Jette is universally acknowl- edged by the Bar of Montreal as one of those who have had- great success -in managing an intricate gase, with both energy and gentlemanly regard for his adversaiies. His speech at the nomination was marked by these two characteristics, energy and de- corum. For some years past the French- Canadians have been divided into .only two parties, the blew and the rOUges. The bleus always voted •-with the Goernment, and in fact it was this united action on their part which -has enabled the Govern- ment. to hold its ground sb • long: The roug6s, who were only a very small minority, voted with the Up- per Canada Liberals. Lately, how- ever, the rouge party has grown both ia numbers and influence, and another party has. grown - up who, though not sympathizing with the rouges in Church matters, were pre- pared to take the same stand politic- ally. This party, which calls itself the Parti National, has organized • within the present year, choosing for leaders men' who, were free from the -odium which rested an the rouges in the minds of the more devoted Ca- tholics, and who yet were thorough- ly imbued with .Liberal principles, and 'could thus secure the adhesion of the rouges without losing the support of the more liberal members of the Church. party. To this Na-; - tio4a1 Party Mr. Jette belongs and it is owing to this he was able to MD, up such a large score against the man who has long been recognized as. the chief of the French-Canadians, and who, as such, has received' high honors from the Queen.; for while in former elections the priests haye -worked vigorously for Sir G. E. Cartier, they did not a's a body in- teifere in this case, as though they naturally prefer the Conservative to the Liberal party, and could -not Lave much confidence in the Grits of -Up- per Canada, 'with whom Mr. Jette will associate, they have confidence in Mr. Jetta as a man ; and not al- together satisfied with' the recent eonduct of Sir George-, they were doubtless willing to ,risk something in order to teach the -great man a lesson as to the source of his power and, therefore, while they would have preferred to see him elected, they would not actively support him. We have every confidence in the I futUrepollticaleareer of Mr. Setie. We ' consider him as 'being shrewd enough, to escape the treachery of an ,adversary, and dignified enough to resort to no kind of hurnbuggery.— Montrea intness. wages and Living in California. A letter from a Farmer's. Wife' at Mendon, El Dorado, exposes a good deal of the humbug asbout high wages in California : I have a son 23 years old. He -never uses tobac- co or any kind of apirits, and is a de- sirable hand in the harvest field. .Re went to San Jose last May, as we were able to get along. with- out him on our farm. He soon wrote the that wages were down, as. the farmers were working Chinamen. Thirty dollars is all they have given in the Santa Cltira Valley the past soven years, except two months, when they clip their grain and while the thresher is doing. ,Then they will give $40 to two or three hands among twenty ; the rest get $2 a day ; an7d, at the end of the month, the men that have. been get- ting $2 a day have not as much money as those who get $40 a. month. The reason is, the machine breaks, and the day hands have no work and no pay; but they have to eat. In the morning they are all called up at 4 o'clock, and hurried to the field by sunrise; in at 12; and outagain. at 1, and work its long as it, is light enough to see a head ,of grain. It is often 10 o'clock before they get their slipper and get to bed. This, I tell you, I know. I have lived in it and seen it all. California is a glori- ous place for those- th;tt, come here with plenty, of money, They intend to get labor below $1 a day- ata soon as they can. As soon as harvest is over, they say there is' labor on the - railroad. Yes, at just $1 a day, and board . yourself. I -have had men stop, 'wady worn out, and out of ,moneyjand stay .all the night, that had been to get work on the rail- road. I have been in California ten years. This is the eighth season on a icanCheuntil this year I have lived. in. gan Jose. I have* travelled in this State, and know all I wish to of this beautiful land. Taot. and Talent. The following extract may be fam- iliar to many of out' readers, but it is worthy of being frequently pondered by all who are required to mingle and exert themselves in the active affairs of the world : Talent is something, but tact is everything. Talent is serious, sober, grave and respectable; .tact is all that, and more too. Tact is not a sixth sense,, but it is the life of all the five. It is the open eye, the quick ear, the judging taste, the keen smell and 'the liyely touch , it is" the interpret= er of 'all riddles, the surtnounter of all difficulties, the remover of all ob- stacles. It is useful in all places and at all times : it i0 useful in sol- itude, for it shows a man his way. into the world; it is useful in so- ciety, for it shovis him his way through the world. Talent is power —tact is skill; talent is weight— tact, is momentumtalent knows what to do—tact kno vvs how to do it; 'trdent makes a man respectable —tact will make him respected; tal- ent is wealth—tact is ready money. For all the practical, purposes of life tact carries the day against talent -- fen to one.' The Lion's Ride. Whet a lion wishes to have a giraffe for his dinner, he is obliged to be very careful how he goes to market. Giraffes are ' not cheap articles of diet, even for a lion, and an attempt to get- 'a meal of that kind of meta always costs him a great deal of tiou)le, and sometimes costs.his life. Of course the lion slips up very quietly toward the giraffe. He always does that- no matter what his prey may be, but in this case it is necessary to be very careful, indeed, for if he springs and misses the giraffe, the great beast may get a kick at him before he has time to recover himself, .and a kick from a giraffe, whose hind legs fly out like sledge harnniers; will make even a lion 'considerable shuck up like. But even after the lion has safely landed himself on the girafTe'S back, his dinner .is not _ready yet. The 'giraffe is -a large arid powerful ani- mal, and away he rubhes as fast as his long, awkward legs can carry him, and this is very fast indeed. Clitter-2:c1atter ! Spring and bound! Away he goes, with the lion hang- ing on like a good .fellow, and the hyenas yelling after, hoping to have a chance to get something at the second:table, for it is hardly possible that a lion can eat a whoie giraffe. But it is not at all certain that there will be a giraffe for dinner at all, for if the frightened creature. can once get into the woods, he may, be safe. Dashing among the limbs and trunks be may knock the lion off. And then look out, Mr. Lion ! The giraffe will turn orryou as quick as lightning, and kick the life out of you before you can get out of the HUR N EXPOSI'VOR. ONTREAL HOUSE. FALL STOCK. UNCI (SITCCE SORS TO E. HICIiSON & CO.)

Although giraffes have frequently been knowi. to get the best of lions in this waythey are not always so fortunate,. If a thick wood cannot socn be reached, the strength of the giraffe will soon be exhausted, and the cruel beast upon his back will fix his teeth in his throat, and drag the pock crea- ture down, and kill and eatt, him.

CAUTION To the Public of the Brithidi Provinces of North • America. 1 T BEG most respectfully to acquaint the public -4-• of the British North American Provinces that, in May, 1871,1 caused the business at 80 Maiden - Lane, New York, for the sale 'of Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which were up to that time pre- pared by 'William Brown.; now deceased, to be closed. I regret to say that I have reason to know that the management of the late business had for some years, in many ways, been most cor- rupt, and it may be that the Pills and Ointment were not prepared with the care I have always de- sired. Those who do not wish to be deceived by buying spurious modicines,,which are now likely to emanate from the States or elsewhere, to possess themselves of the genuine Holloway's Pills and Ointment, manufactured by me in London, Eng- land, will do well to see that each pot and box bears the British Government stamp, on which is engraved the words, " Holldway's Pilland Oint- Mont, and that the &litres& on the label ' is 583, Oxford -street; London, where oily they are manu- factured, and in no other part of the world. The retail prices are on the labels in British currency, - ited States, either to M and not in dollars and cen s. No representative of mine will' ever travel t ough any part' of the British Provinces or the sell or to take orders for in Pills and Obitthent, and as I have reason to believe that attempts will probably be made to deceive the public in this way by persons calling upon • medicine vendors, falsely represbnting that they are Acting for me and with My knowledge and consent, I deem it advisable to put the public ou their guar against any Such de- ceptions. I most earnestly entreat all these wha may read this advertisemen that they be Peased, in the public interest, to co nutnicate the purport of the same to their frien that they may not be defrauded of their money purchasing, perhaps, worthless imitations of t • e genuine Holloway's Pills and Ointment. I wo d ask, as a great favor, that, should it come to the knowledge of any per - sun that spurious medicines are being mad or sold in my name, he be pleased o send me all the par- ticulars he cau collect respe ting the same, that is to say, the name and addres of the vendorwho is selling the spurious medie nes, and likewise the nnme and address of the : ease in the 'United States or elsewhere,which is ay have supplied them so as to enable me, for the ,;rotection of the pub- lic, to institute prooeedin is against suah evil- doers, and I engage to renin erate very han ome- ly any`persen who may give .. e such info). tion, the informant's name ne er being di ed. Should any person have re' ;rrn to believe Lisat ke has been deceived by buyin spurious imitations of these medicines, he will di well to send me, in a letter, to the address at foot (which he ca do at a cost of six cents in postag,), one of the bpoks of instruction which are affixe to the same. I prom- ise to examine it and send a eply, stating whether the medieines are genuine or not, so that, if spu- rious, he may apply to the person from whom he purchased them to have his money returned Chemists and Druggists who desire to obtain the medicines can be supplied atth telnene$20 worth— viz., loweat w i,00lr e ts1a —e prices, in quantities of not less h viz., 8s. 6d., 22s. and. 84s.per dozen boxes of Pills or potof Ointment, net, without discount, for which remittance must be s nt in advance.
