Speaking with a well-to-do farmerl from Chiselhurst on Monday Jest,' • after the purchase he had made was rolled up, the conversation drifted ihto the means and meth- ods employed in some businesses. He expressed himself as liking the style in which we carried on our Great Clothing Store. Con- tinuing, he said: I read your advmtisements always, whether I want any goods in your line or not. They are interesting to me, frol:iithe fact that you make no 'world beating' claims, at un- heard of bargains and all like stuff. What I like is that you always come out plain and straight, and say you are after a fair margin of profit, and at the same time assuring to your cus- tomers full satisfaction." It is the meeting of such men as we - speak of in the preceding that, makes life pleasant to live and business worth hustling for. We are pleased that our efforts to -give good full value, at reasonable figures, is being more and more appreciated as the days go by. We have to offer in our price list this week some specials, which our buyer bought when in the city last week. The first special is 75 pairs of Men's Wool Pants, in a good durable Tweed.

There is a bit of the history of church which so well illustrates the actor ot the Arge tines, or at least prominent phase of i , that I will tell it before I forget. Du ing the attack o British troops who had taken refuge w it, one or two cannonballs became imbe in one of the. walla of the towers. ears afterwards, not very long ago in fact, the church was being Irepaired. These nusty bably thrown away. But this was qu okly old cannon balls were taken out and ipro.- noticed, a howl of rage went up from the populace and the co tractor was ordered to replace the eanno4. balls where they, had been before. He explained that they Were Iost, that, being ordered to repair the tower he had aim ly done as he was bid. But ants of and tion ted still call - this bar - one now the thin ded nothing wou d satisfy the angry inhabi of Buenos Aires but the visible emble their victory over the hated "Gringos" they made the contractor put up imit cannon balls made of wood and pai black. There theae may be seen to thie day the veriest sham that could be imagined- for they are inserted With the utmost regular- ity, within a small space, as if they had been put in with a pepper caster, and all sunk exactly the Same distance into the wall, in neat round holes. - To be sure this eepedition was but a very small and unimportant incident in a great war, so unimportant that few Englishmen have heard of it, for it is net even mention- ed in most of the ordinary histories. But it was very important for the Argentines for it awoke theiti national spirit and was the direct precursor of their war for indep- endence. So thee% still celebrate it. But I am wandering from the subject; I believe I began to talk about decorations. On this 'holiday in commemorationof the defeat of the British, the Calle Defense is 'crossed every 75 yards or so of its length by an arch of gas lights with gas globes and at night (night is always the best part of an Argentine celeb- ration) looking down the street, onels look- ing at a tunnel the toof of which is formed by thousands of twinkling lights. Then the Plus Victoria, in -US which the street opens, a public square in hetet of the Govenoment House, with its wilki, its trees, its monu- ments, its green lai, no and its flower beds, has an illuminated and its walks also of twinkling lights fountain in the centre are covered- with arches . And the Government House, the Bo ea, the Bank of the Nation, the ArchBishop's palace and the Mueleipal Buildings, forming three sides of the square, are all illuminated by lines of gas lights, with globes in the National' colours, alter- I nate blue and white, following the lines of I the showy architeeture; while the cathedral, at the corner, next the Bishop's palace, has its great pillars and the outlines of its great portico turned teldines of living fire by un- shaded gee jets, set close together, the lines of flame undulating with every breath of air. Looking out from the *head of Calle Defense, or down; the "Avenida de Mayo' (May Avenue) it hit like a scene from fairy- land. . Often too, cordons of Chinetse lanterns are strung about giving colour to the scene, which hi already beautiful almost beyond description: • The effect of these illuminations is "won- deful ; the ugly CASA Rosada (pink house) as government house is called, looks imposing; the tawdry stucco ornamentation of the other buildings might easily be imagined to be the carved stonework it represents; the brit* and plaster Pillars and stucco frieze of Cathedral portico give it an air of solemn grandeur and solidity that remind one of the old Greek or Egyptian temples. Even that pitiful travesty, permittaible only in a South American Republic, the tawdry brick and plaster monument to Liberty, looks re- spectable with its! lines of blue and white gaslights. You will probably think this letter ise dealing more with illuminatione than deel ectrakions on, second thought, -I think you are right, but then Buenos Aires and, the Argentine people, like stage scenery and painted players, always rook best in the glare of gaslight.

Their constitu- tions state tha they shall be free and enlightened Republics, but they are oligarchies where, electoral freedom is un- known and where jiistice is not. Their rulers prate of equality, of honesty and of petrkile ism ; while their right hands are clutching the throats of the industrious and the thrifty, their left hands are held out for bribes, and that make the army, the navy and the machinery of justice the instruments for maintaining their hold on the taxing power. 1 But parttime I have bothered you With such statements before ; I don't know. You me when one begins to talk or write about South America he invariably gets around to the "belly bad government" as the Englith- man calls it though to be sure, Ireland, if not England herself, was in as bad a state et the end of the eighteenth century, which is but a hundred , years ago.

His lordship said the firing of the second shot was a particu- larly dastardly hot. Rouatt was a steady, hard working man.

When Ontario's Minister of Agriculture, Hon. John Dryden, first undertook to es- tablish hie pioneer farm near Lake Wabi- goon eighty miles east of Rat Portage on the IC. P. Re few would have predicted that within two years we should see three town- ships taken up by settlers at that point. Probably Mr. Dryden himself is as surprised as anyone that the development should have been so rapid. In this, as in everything else he has undertaken, Mr. Drydenhas evinced his usual good judgment, . but he has been assisted by the tide of events. It was very fortunate he undertook the open- ing of the l Wabigoon country just at the time when the wonderful mineral riehness of Northwestern Ontario was beginning to attract hundreds to the district. 1 Gold mining is fast becoming a boom -big industry and every foot of agricultural land has re- . ceived an enhanced value and is in great 'demand. _The town site of Dryden, lying ' opposite the Government Farm'was mid out last • summer. The lots in the first survey are all sold, an additional block of land is now being added, and the town promises to be- come a place of considerably more impor- tance than vias expected. Confusion exists in the minds of regarding " Dryden " and " Wabi about thirteen miles distant, at the e end of Lake Wabigoon. It should be stood that there is no connection be the two places, as the name might lea to suppose, and in connection wit latter the Government assume no re bility whatever. We . are informed town lobs in Dryden are sold at reas prices to actual settlers only, and speculator% at " boom" prices. ' Such is the desire for information r ing the locality, that the following letter irom the farm superintendent, a copy of Which has been sent to us by Mr. Dryden, will be read with interest : Dryden -P.0, April 24,1897. DEAR Sm :—The fall wheat came through the winter in good style; apparently none of it was winter killed. On 18th and 19th we had some cold weather which checked its growth badly.

Commissioner Seeger, who recently in- vestigated the charges preferred against Postmaster Campbell, of .Goderioh, deliver- ed hia finding in the mum in the court room on Friday afternoon in the presence of a large number of spectators. Follovring is a brief summary of the finding: Charge, 1— It was charged that Postraaster Campbell had acted improperly toward Miss Hays, of Seafoith, a Collegiate Institute student, one evening and thereby insulted her and Miss Jeckyl, who was with her on the occasion. The charge was held to be sustained. Charge 2—The postmaster was charged with placing his hand upon the hand of Mrs. Sarah MeBrien, while she was passing in manner whieh she considered to be in - in a letter at the Ticket, and that he did m !suiting. The charge was held not to be sustained, on the ground that the action • might poseibly have been accidental. Chtuge 3—The postmaster had unwarrantedly taken hold of Mrs. Light while she was coming through an inner door of the post office after he had asked her and a lady friend to visit the inside department. Held to be sus- tained. Charge ,it—The postmaster was charged with awes king Miss Dancey.while she was engaged in writing a card in the ,private office by clasping • her from behind, and putting hie hands on her breast. Charge held to I be • sustained, Charge 5—This was a charge of opening a letter ad- dressetl to one J. R. Aleintosh,but although it WAS clearly proven that the letter had been opened, it was not shown by whom. Charge not sustained. Charge 6—It was charged that the North American Chemical Company were compelled to post their let- ters and rate cards. at the railway station for a length of time, owing to the fact that the postmaster was a sales agent for a rival firm. It was proved that Mr. Camp- bell had Robed in such a capacity for several year& but had now discontinued his con- nection with the salt firm. Charge 7—A complaint was made by Robert Bell, a marble works man, that he also had to post his letters at the railway station, beeause Mr. Campbell was the financial manager of 'rival marble works business. The evi- donee proved that this state of affairs had. existed. Charge.8—Mr.VansWne, of Wing - ham, another marble works man, had sent a -letter to a customer named Johnston, God- erich post office, and finding it had not reached its destination, called at the office to make enquiry, when he was handed the letter and told it had been opened by mis- take, the plea given by the attendant being that there were so many Johnston's. The letter had been opened and closed up again with it margin of postage stamps, but no memorandum had been made that it had been opened by mistake, nor by whom it had been opened, contrary to the rules of the department. This charge was sustained. Charge 9—The postmaster was charged with.being offensive to persons going to the offioe in that he entered into. an altercation with 'W.L. Horton and had celled the latter a liar, after which he had come around from the inside office and clinched with Horton, - until teparated by others who were present. Charge sustained. 11 MoLEAN BROS.. Si a Tear in A.dvance. ritories enter upon this season with particu- larly firight prospects.
