isondon Cabmen.
•
Renderson, C. B., speaking on
Nov. 29, at the fourth anniversary of
the London ` Cabmen a .,Mission, to a
crowded audience of cabmen and their
wives, said he hoped the change which
had lately been °made in their licenses
in order to save them trouble would be
duly. appreciated. Six hundred notices
of renewal of licensee had -been up to the
present time deapatihed to cabmen; and
ninety per cent. of those were -upon clear
licenses. With respect ` to tho sobriety
of cabmen, he said that, though drunk-
enness among the body was not on- the
increase, still, it was :not on the de-
crease; as there were 13;006 cases of
drunkenness last year ; but he hoped be-
fore long to see Such a Tong lift di-
minished, as there was undoubtedly a
steady and gradual improvement among
the ' men.. With regard to the cabs
themselves, he would just mention what
an. eminent French-' engineer said who
came over to, this country to report upon
the comparative merits of the railways
of France and England. That gentle-
man said that the Metropolitan Railway
of London was as superior to anything of
the same kind in France as was the Eng-
lish Hansom cab to vehicles which wei e
used for a similar purpose in his_country.
Although they had received such high
commendation, yet, nevertheless, 3,500
cabs were condemned last year. There
was one point to which he wished to
draw particular attention, and that was
themarvelousimprovement which had
occurred in the return of lost property
since an alteration in a clause of the lost
property rules for cabs. In -1870_ only
3,500 articles which had been left in
cabs had been brought to, Scotland=yard,
whereas during the past twelve months
1$,000 were deposited at the same place:
The present hackney carriage regula-
tions, he thought, were joist both to
cabmen and the public. One circum-
stance had recently occurred which
showed the • appreciation in which cab-
men's honesty was now held by the pub -
lie. - Two persons were the other day
disputing about the ownership of a dia-
mond necklace valued at £1,000. As
the disputants could not agree, one of
them threw the necklace into a cab, the
driver of which immediately took" it to
Scotland -yard, for which act of honesty
Col. Henderson hoped he would be
handsomely rewarded. In conclusion,
the Chief Commissioner earnestly hoped
that the Mission would long prosper, as
it was doing a great_ amount of . good
among the cabmen of London. ..

Why Puslinoh' was
Such.
A paper was read by Dr.: Scadding
lately -before the Canadian' Institute in
Toronto, on Yonge- and Dundas streets,
and the hien after whom they were nam-
ed," The paper stated that Yonge
tareet was named such by. Governor Sim-
coe in. -honor. of; `Sir _George eorge Yonge, the
chief representative of an ancient Dev
onahire ifamily,. who .was?•born in 1732,
and sat n Parliament fro'ra 1763"to 1796.
He was` Secretary -Of War from 1782 to
1792, and died in 1814. The name was
not given merely in honor of Sir George
Yonge,, as Minister+ rof. War,. but in his
honor . Os tine who bad- made a valuable
contribution to literature on the subject
of roads. At Sir,.George's death the'
baronetcy Reams to have become extinct.
We have in Puslinch, in the County of
Welliiiton,. a `further ::memorial to Sir
George, that being the name of the fam-
ily seat of the Yonges in Devonshire.
The Right Honorable Henry Dundas
was concerned in his official capacity

bears his -name, and communications
from him in regard to it are still pre-

it would seem that in. the glorious de-
velopment and growth of San Francisco
from a small mining town to a great
'metropolitan city of more than a quarter
of a million of inhabitants, its :primal
characteristics would be completely ab-
sorbed. .But this is not the case, and
the taint of the mining element which
controls the financial, which governs the
physical, also. denominates the spir-
itual aspects of San Francisco. Miners
are invariably irreligious, and here the
churches have absolutely no influence:
They .are filled on Sundays with well-
dressed people, and that is all. They
are powerless to influence public opin-
ion. One of the results of this impo-
tence of the churches is that there is no
public observance of the Sabbath. All
the saloons are open, all the billiard-
rooms are id full blast, there are per-
formancea at many of the theatres;, if not
at all of them ; the majority of the
stores ire not closed; and the streets are
filled with vehicles of every kind.` ft is

blocked in orowda to catch a glimpse of
that rare apectacle, a woman:, Early one
morning it was noised about in the Canon
Camp that a woman had arrived in the
night. Everybody went to the camping
ground,' but only the- hem of ai► calicn
dress was visible. " fetch her out ; we
want to see her;" said the rough miners
to her husband. " My ' wife is sick,"
said he ; " we have been lrobbed by the
Indiana and we want rest." " Fetch
her out," was the.only reply. She came
to the door ; they swung their hats, gave
three cheers and a tiger, collected $2,-

MANUFACTURE OF SCISSORS. — Con-
siderable interest has been excited
among scissors manufacturers by the :re-
cent discovery, by a Sheffield artisan, of
a means of . entirely dispensing with
skilled labor in the production of scissors
blades. At present, as is well known,
the process- of forging is one requiring
considerable skill and time. But in this
ease, the inventor, by an adaptation of
existing machinery, completes the opera-
tion of making scissors blades] from the
sheet of steel, by the aid of a boy or
girl.' The blank is " filed," the bow cut,
and the blade shaped, withoutthe inter-
vention of a skilled band, at twenty
times the speed at which they are at
present produced by hand forging. It is
stated that in point of, quality these ma-
chine made blades have been pronounced
by manufacturers to be in every 'respect
admirable. -
HEA.T raoM COAL OIL.—In some experi-
ments at Manchester, Eng., as to. the
comparative value of coal and oil for the
production of heat, a quantity of oil
weighing less than five pounds was
mixed with water, in the manner pro-
po$ed for use and in a suitable apparatus,
and without the aid of artificial draft,
burnt for fifteen minutes with a flame
thirty-four. inches • high and twenty-five
wide— a superiority over a similar weight
Of coal is quite apparent,„ and showing
that there is as great a supply of fuel in
oil as in the stone 'awl, besides occupy-
ing in transportation leas space and being
more easily handled. A further ad-
vantage a in such use of oil is that a more
constant heat can be maintained, while,.
with the addition of fresh coal to a fire,
there is, for a time, ri very considerable
.and rapid dim1nntion of heat,, the abet
of which is manifest. _ -
