THE HURON EXPOSITOR -
Untiring. Bricks out of Straw.
A correspondent of the Churchman
-writes as follows:
"While attending the late Church
Congress in Nett` Yeti I dropped into
one of our olitittili -bookstores, where
several clergymen from distant dioceses
we standing about the book table.
On by one the late English and Arneri;
can publications -Were taken up, exam-
ined, talked over, and laid down again.
Each one of these clergy evidently covet-
edtwo or three ofthese books which cost
tvio or three dollars a -volume. In fact,
eaeh one openly expressedhis desire and.
need, of them in his parish work, and
especially in, the preparation of ser-
mons. Eadh book was very carefully
examined, as 1 have said., and with a,
sigh returned to the table. The writer
of this curiously observed all this, for
'MS own experience enabled him to
tistess at the feelings of these brethren.
1i was evident enough that all of them
greatly needed some of these books.
But they coald not afford them. So,
wth the exception of one who pur-
chased a copy of Phillips Brooks's late
work, not one of these five clergymen
bought a book. I think they all went
home -without one—weal home to con-
tinue the old. work of making sermon -
bricks without straw; of laboring to
grind out the finest wheat ftour without
any renewal of wheat in the hopper.
Yes, Mr. Editor, and 1 did the same.
But while sitting there, after they had
gene, and. about to- turn my back also
on the ten dollars' and twenty dollars'
worth of precious treasures, the ques-
tion occurred, 'Why is it that parishes
never think of the necessity for their
pastor's library being replenished?
Why, without the humiliation of his
begging for it, do his people never make
a parish offering—say on Thanks-
giving, Christma% or any other day—
for the special purpose of -enabling him
to purchase occasionally. a new
and valuable book, which will
help him to have, new and. fresh
thoughts and to prepare better ser-
mons?' Surely it would. be for their
own benefit to do so. And then, why
do not our good bishops sometimes
speak to the peeple about such? There
are many things like this whicla they
could say for the clergyman's benefit
when he could. not speak for himself."
part of the wall was taken down. to
bring it to him. Then he ferried across
a tributary stream in the Ulla country
to a village belonging to another friend-
ly chief named Chitambo. Onthe 30th,
of Aprilthat Chief visited. him, but he
was too exhausted to converse.

dying master wanted to see - him, and,
he asked for the medicine chest under
his charge. "With. great difficulty,'r

which have been made with the tele-
phone through great lengths a wire,
and walesa for very short lines it is too
weak to be solely relied upon for the
transmission of intelligible language.
It shows, however, that with the use of
three instruments, one at each ear and
one at the mouth, the sound may be in-
creased very considerably, as 41 that
case there would be two feeble magnetic
currents uniting with. one of greater
strength, the action would be,harmon-

he said in a low, feeble voice, all right;
you can go out now.' These were the
last words he was ever heard to speak:"
About four o'clock next morning, the
lst of May, Chuma, Susi, and four other
of his attendants entered the hut. A.
candle, stuck by its own wax on the top
of a box, shed a light sufficient for them
to see his form. Dr. Liyingstone was
kneeling by the side of his bed, his body
stretched. forward, and his head buried
in his hands upon the, pillow. For la
minute they watched him. He did nat
stir ; there was no sign of breathing?
Then one of them, Matthew, advanced
softly to him and touched. his cheeks. It
was sufficient. Eife had been extinct
for some -time, and the body was almost
cold. Livingstone was dead.,—Samuel

A Cold Day in London.

eomforting pot of hot soup. Gin fails,
s morning, to be all that is desired
by the miserable women who indulge in _
it at the bars of the Whitecrosa-street
ginshops. There does not seem to be
[ warmth enough in the fiery liquid to set
free the slatternly dram -drinkers' pow-
ers of speech, or to alter the leaden hue
ef their lips. Tho male loafers at the
beer ehops find no co-mfort in pewter

pockets are frozen out—and loiter by
the lamp posts, asking each other in
dismayed. voices how long this 'ere is

and blow on theirknockles for warmth's
sake. The audden frost seems to have
paralyzed this neighborhood. of squalor,
and everybody is half benumbed and

quite a lame performance to what they

A Lofty Sheep Pasture.
Probably the largest and highest ro
in the known world is the South Do
of Yosemite. Standing at the fork of
the upper valley, it rears itself, a solid
rocky loaf, 6,000 feet above the ground..
A more powerful hand. than that of Ti-
tan has cut away the eastern half leav-
ing a sheer precipice over a mile in
height. No man ever trod, the top of
this dome until last year. Former vis-
itors gazed in wonder at the spikes driv-
en into the rock by hardy spirits Who
had repeatedly endeavored to scale t.
The
The shreds of rope dangling in the wind,
told the story of their failure. Last
year, however, after thousands of dia-
lers were spent, several persons found
their way to the top of the dome, and
this summer two sheep were discovered
browsing on the hitherto inaccessible
peak. Mrs. A. j. Murphy, the -wife of a
late hotel proprietor in the valley,
writes as follows under date of Novem-
ber lith :
" John Anderson is building stairs up
to the top of the South Dome. Yo -u
can go up now by holding on to a rope,
but it is quite a tiresome trip. A few
ladies in the valley have made the as-
cent, anal am sorry I did not attempt

Many horses have the very unpleas-
ant habit of striking the toes of the hind.
shoes against those on the fore feet.
Most horsemen will agree that it is a
fault attaching to some of the best as
well as the worst of h.orses. It more
frequently occurs with younghorses,and
they often click on the turf or soft
ground, and not on the hard road. It
arises from the too great activity or
length of stride of the hind legs; the
fore feet are unable to get out of the way
in time; therefore anything which de-
tains them, snch as soft or heavy soil,
mutt assist the habit. The principal
point to be remedied is the ntolerable
noise, from which the evil derives the
name "clicking ;" and. this is often ef-
fected by making the hind shoes square
at the tee, and leaving the toe of the
crust somewhat projecting over the shoe
by which plan the crust reeeives the
blow instead of the shoe, and does not
make any noise. It sometimesha,ppens
that, from the repitition of these blows,
the crust is worn sothin at the toe as to
prod.uce or threaten lameness, in which
case the plan of shoeing must be desisted
from, and we must put up with the
noise to avoid the greater evil. When
a square -toed shoe fails •in preventing
clicking, it- will sometimes happen that
a shoe pointed at the toe will succeed;
which, no doubt, arises from the circum-
stance that the shoe having so small a
Surface to come in contact with, fails to
strike the fore shoe and goel within or
by the side of it.—Exchange.

sheep found. their way to the top of the
South Dome this summer, a dam and

more than any one can tell. ` They

Great is the vitality of the infant—
.
fearful and wonderful to behold. If a
grasshopper or small insect with abund-
ant legs be seized and hitoa by one of
them, the leg imraediatelybreaks loose
and the insect escapes. The human in-
fant, on the contrary, is often suspend-
ed by one arm, and even dragged long
distances, while its nurse is earnestly
conversing with a male friend. NO in-
stance has yet been known of the arra
giving way under such circumstances,
and it is believed. that the infantile ltg
is at least equally strong. Infants are
daily to be seen lying head downward
across a nurse's lap, cia dangling ()liar
the back of a bench in a position Witt
suggests apoplexy, suffocation, and oth-
er fatal results. These infa,nts, howev-
er, always exhibit unimpaired vigour
when replaced in- a natural position,and
will raiomptly swallow marbles, small
pebble, Or any other food. which May
be given to therm: Their power of ' ora-
tory, also, is wonderful, and the man
who constantly finds from six to twelve
infants congregated under his *bade
trees, and vieing with one another in
efforts to express their views upon pub-
lic and private topics, naturally feels in-
clined to take, stern, and decisive Meas-
ures. Et would, however, be impolitic
to perMitthe killing of infants by pri-
vate citizens ether than regular Medical
practitioners, and it is doubtful if pub-
lic sentiment would support the ap-
pointment of official infant slayers.
For, strange to say, "with all their
faults, we love them still," and are wil-
ling to shout, " Long live the vitality of
the baby!"
• Livingstone's Death -Bed..
His party had passed along the north-
ern shores of Lake Bangweolo, and ar-
rived on the banks of the Luapula River
at about 10 degrees soutb latitude, ex-
pecting to -find the fountains (the sources
of the Nile) of which the natives gave
, him some account in reply to his ques-
tions. It would appear that when he
expected to solve the laud' or otherwise
of the problem, lie was seized . with
dysentery, and he deemed it best to re-
turn to some friendly chief in the Mon-
te:Jere& country to recruit himself. This
was in, the beginning of 1873, and the
party got entangled among the marshes
of Bangweolo in February, where they
encountered, great privations from the
constant ram above and the flood below.
Livingstone managed to obtain some re-
lief in a came on the water, while his
men waded along the inundated. shore.
In this way several affluents of the gent
lake were crossed with much difficulty ;
tiler he became so weak that he had to
be carried in a litter on share. Never-
theless he strove to keep Alp manfully,
making entries in his diafy to within a
few days of his demise. The last entry
-was dated April the 2,7th, as follows :—
" Knocked. up qiiite, and remain—re-
cover—sent to buy milch coats." We
are on the banks of the goats."
After this "his hand. lost its cunning,"
hie voice became almost inarticulate,
and his limbs so weak that he was un-
t- step in or out of his litter. Still
Tragic Death Death of an _Aeronaut.
Hoffman's " Balloon Show" exhibit-
ed here yesterday. A balloon ascension
constituted a part of the programe ; the
balloon ascended about 5 o'clock P. M.,
a young man aged, apparently, about
twenty years, going up -with it, astride
of a trapeze bar attached to the balloon -
by ropes. The mainrope, several yards
long, attached to the balloon for the
'purpoae of pulling it down. When it had
reached a sufficient atitudes broke, and
the balloon shot up like an, arrow to a
dizzy height, and 'drifted rapidly east-
wards to the distance of half a mile,
where it seemed to have encountered. a
stronger current, as it gyrated for a few
moments, and bore northeast for half a
mile further, when it descended, and
was lost to view by the trees of Ox
Swamp. After waitina some time and
hearing no tidings of °the aeronaut, a
number of persons went in search of
him, and continued the search through
the greater part of the night without
success; but the next Morning the life-
less body of the young man, partly sub-
merged. in the water of the swamp, was
found impaled on a sharp stump, or
what is usually known as a "cypress
kute," and- the balloon was foudn in a
tree hard by. Charlie Hill, the unfor-
tunate adventurer, appeared to be an
Irishman of good. appearance, and has,
it is said, a mother in Washington, D.

The Rosses and Mackenzies had a
common origin, descended. from the
same ancestor, Gilleon na h'Airde, so-
called from having his seat in the Aird,
now the property of Lord Lovat. Some
maintain that the Macleans and the
Maeraes are from the same stock as the
Mackenzies,- arid. there appears to be
little doubt that these tribes had occu-
pied_ lands and held strongholds in the
district of the Aird. The genealbiiay of
the Macraes is not preserved in theMS.
of 1450, but reference to the name is
found in the genealogy of the Macraes,
thus supporting the view of those who
maintain that the Mackenziesthe Mac -
leans and the Macraes are deecended
from the same aneestor.

Everywhere and in all circumstances
the Irishman's Characteristics and pe-

marked relief. In spite of every kind
of injustice and. oppression he has ever
borne himself right nobly, and has en-
riched every land he has ever visited
by the wealth of bis geniu% the chivalry
of his bearing, the purity of his conduct,
the extent of his literary achievements,
the steadiness and success of his in-
dustry, the far-seeing power of his states-

qualities, his marked sobriety amid the
greatest temptations, his high-toned
morality, his scrupulous honor, his un-
rivaled eloquence, his matchless courage,
his reverence for women, his enthusiasm
for home, his pity for the oppressed, his
sympathy with the sorrowful, his hatred
of every kind of wrong, his worship of -
the beautiful, the fine glow of his
patriotisra, his naod.esty, as marked as
all his other excellences, his piety, 'as
fervent as genuine, his hopefulness and
energy, which no adversity could even,
deaden, far less destroy, and his honor-

consummation and crown, not so much

-A- in regard to the Great Shoshonees Remedy
and Pills. Levi Jones, Markham, says: "I had
a very severe attack of bronchitis. I was so bad
that I could'hardly get my breath. I sought for
a quick remedy, and seeing the " Shoshone°.
Remedy" so highly recommended, I procured a
bottle, and am happy to say that by the time It
was taken I was entirely well, and have remained
so, although I was much exposed through the
winter in travelling." Rev. F. B. Stratton, Deni'
orestville, writes: "1 have found your re-
medies particularly beneficial for liver complaint,
dyspepsia and bronchial affections, and would
advise all similarly affected to give them a trial.'
John Firdayson, Athol, says: ." When travelling
one of my feet got sore and broke out. I could
not cure it, and had to return home. It became
better and afterwards much worse. I finally pur-
chased a bottle of the Remedy and a box of PM&
and before they were half gone I commenced to
improve, and before they were finished my loot
was completely cured. It is now 17 months
since, but have had no further attack." Price
of the Remedy in pint bottles, $1. Pills, 25 cent4
a box. 522.
