The Late Court of Revision in MoVillop and Other Matters. • DEAR EXPOSITOR, -I again ask for space in your valuable paper to explain some mat- ters mentioned by J. C. Morrison, clerk of McKillop, in a letter to THE EXPOSITOR a short time ago. As the clerk leads ns to suppose that he will not reply, I will be as mild as I possibly can. I beg leave to tell him that I have probably just as many rela- tives scattered throughout this' Dominion as he has, and I am just as sensitive as be is. I. have never heard one word spoken against any of his children, and I wish them well, and I can wenn Mr. Morrison that any- thing which I have said concerning him will not beta any of them in the least. Previous to hi, last letter appearing in print, a wag informed me that the clerk purposed giving a description of the age, height and weight of the members of our house, together with the colour of their hair, also the time we arose the time we went to bed, and what we had for breakfast. He, however, did not go quite so far, and I have a right to be thankful for even small favors. e says it troubles me because it was reported that my assessment was lowered. This is al. most too silly to notice; seein that this was my purpose. I told those I ret that I had succeeded. Our friend ap ears to be very much annoyed because I r ferred to one of my farms. I might withdr w this to please him, but it cermet be ver readily done. I bought them from two different parties, and at different dates; on of them is situated in school section No. , and the other in section No. 9. As they ppear on the roll, there is a higher asses iment. on one of them than on the othe . I only appealed against the assesemen on one farm, and I do not see how I could explain matters otherwise than the way I did. By the way, Mr. Morrison, are you not dis- playing a little envy in this matte!; do ,you really think it is any of your busieess? For my part, I like to see other people doing well and like to do well myself. It would be much better to halve it so; there would then be no need for poorhouses, and people could be forced to pay their debte, whether they were willing or not, and a great deal of unhappiness misery and suffering would be avoided. He invades the home circle and tells EXPOSITOR readers that, besides myself, there are two others with two fam- ilies. Well, one of the boys got married a few months ago, and we have the pleasure ef his wife's company at present. She it must be who he claims as the other two with two families. Mr. Editor, I detest this mode of newspaper discussion or even news- paper warfare, but it verifies the old saying that what is one ilian's food is another's poison. Having a big farm, does not make a man a particle better thati his ne ghbor with a small one. It adds to his eaj es, and that is about all A does do. I remember the"meet- ing on the road at Wintrop ebout a dozen yeare ago, where he says a treaty was made between he and I. If he knew that such a compact existed, why has he violated it so often? There is some excuse for me, as I was not aware that such a thing existed. It would never do for John C. and I to form a ring in regard to newspaper correspond- ence; it would be nearly as bad as the bin- der twine monopoly-, Mr. Morrison's ad- vice to THE EXPOSITOR is entirely uncalled for. All honor to Canadian journalism, the greater share of whicb refuses to be bribed, bullied or coerced into doing anything un- fair or unjust, and it is a well known fact that THE EXPOSITOR management have too high a sense of honor than to bestow special favors and privileges upon any of its corres- pondents. As this is probably the last time I will be called upon to refer to the matter, I wish it to be clearly understood that I had no objection to being sworn at the court of revesion. Neither was I anxious to have those Who followed sworn. It was the spirit which prompted the clerk's act and the principle underlying it, that I ob- jected to. Almoet every person can grasp the matter without further explanation on my part. I think Mr. Morrison is wrong what he says I abused him for speaking at Farmers' Institutes, he not being the owner of land. At that time I was engaged in a discussion, the su jeet being oats and corn. . Mr. Mor- rison t150 jumped into the arena and also tackle me, using offensive language to me and ;nother; the same two by the way whieh he publicly insulted at the court of reviai n the other day. I struck him, a crack • make bim stand back, which had the de ired effect. That is all there is in it. I have never said anything to bring han in- to dis avor with the Farmers' Institute. Hove u e came to lose favor with the men- ageries t here is a delicate subject, and I will n t refer to it ; at the same time, I want 't to be understood that I am not one of the management of the Institute. The people don't care a pia what valu the el We chikiren, or mine either, are t the co ,ntry. His wishy washy talk abo t my pi ce and my stock, and his crooke nese a i d attempt to be funny when spea - ing of my assessment, are characteristic 1f the in n, and does me no harm. While it is non of his business, yet he makes it his busin ss. I might tell Mr. Morrison th the •ublic do not care as to how man offices he or I have held. Th re are score lie and I ight say hundreds of men, in M Killo , who are well fitted fo any office i the gi t of the council, and I maintain th t it is en like Mr. Morrison, who are unfit for m nual labor, who should, be select° and si eh Men should have prudence an wisdo . and behave themselees properly i their fficial capacity. , Mr. Editor, I now come to !the only pa of Mr. Morrison's letter whieh has cause me re I pain. I will reproduce it : " R e tnrnin officer in 1896 by hi own reques and at ted the week after thlelection th he w the best in the ridin , and pereo ally a used me for not rocon mending him.

The Awful Roast They Get From English. Dramatic Critic. Take the harmless, necessary operation of shaving, says [William Archer, in a le ter to the New [York Times. In a g d English barber' t shop it is a brief aiid not unpleasant process, In an Anxeriealn ttoniorlai.narliirn it I. liageriug ' costly* torture. une of tne many reasons which lead me to regard the Americans as a leisurely people, rather than a nation of hustlers, is the patience With which they submit to the long drawn tyranny of the barber. In England one grudges five minutes for a shave, and one pays from 44 to 6d. In America one can hard- ly escape in 25 minutes, and one pays (with the executioner's tip) from a Shil- ling to 15d. The charge would be bY no means excessive if one enjoyed all the endless procesees to which one is sub- jected, but for Jew part I would willingly pay double to escape them. I i The essential portion of the business, .the actual shaving, is, as a ruIe,1 badly performed, with a heavy hand and eleith , a good deal of needeess pawing abou of the patient's head./ But when the s,iave Is over the horrors are only beginnng. First your face is cooked forneverid !a- ntes in relays Of towels steeped in boi ing water, then a 'whole series of esselat s is rubbed into it, generally with the tor ur- er's naked hand. The sequence oe t ese essences variee in different parlors, but oue especially loathsome brew, known as "witch hazel," is everywhere ineviteble. Then youe wounds have to be elabo- rately docto Pd with stinging chemicals; your hair, w ich has been hopelessly tou- sled in the j pawing process, has to be drenched in some sickly smelling oil and brushed; yo r , mustache has to be lubri- ceted and co bed, and at iast you escape from the toementoe'll clutches, ireitated, enervated, hiopeles ly late for an impor- tant appointment ted so reeking with unholy odors that ou feel as though all great Neptune's cIcean would scarcely wash you clean agein. Only once or twice have t submitted out of curiosity -to the whole Interminable procese. I now cue it short, not without difficulty, before the "witch hazel" stage is reached, and ane regarded with blank astonishment and disapproval by the ton- sorial professor, who feels his art and mystery insulted in his person and is scarcely mollified by a 10 cent tip. Amer - Imes. on the other hand, go through all these processes and more with stolid and long suffering patience. Yet this nation is credited with haveng invented the max- im "Time is money' and is reputed to act up to it with feverish consistency. HORSE CHOSE HIS DOCTOR. * , Knew Where toZrt.rn.For Help en "One reads so many stories abo t ani- mal intelligence that it would be hazard- ous for a doubter te express his diabelief in almost any gathering of men et the present day," remarked a well known western physician. "A little instance came within my °Niel observation a. num- ber of years ago, tvhen I was stiidying medicine, that convinced me that the members of the hOrse family sho4ld at least be credited With the possessiere of a very considerableamount of reagoning power. I "It was the custona for the stud e ts at the medical institution at which pur- sued my studies to wear a small adge upon their coats to distinguish them from others at the college. A horse belo iging to the establishment was used a great deal about the medical departmen , and the animal seemed lo have a speeial pref- erence for the embrtyo doctors. Well, one day, while a numbe of us were gat ered ire a little circle u on the lawn 1 the rear of the college, the animal in ques- tion, which used to be turned loose o nip the grass in the location, came t ward the group limping very badly. He came to a stop a dozen or more feet awa from the crowd, sisnd, carefully surveying the lot of ifs, flinlly made up his min what he wanted to do, and without any esita- tion limped directly to my side, hin- nied, stuck his nose against my bo and held up his left foreleg. Looking iIown, I discovered a large nail imbedded m the frog of his hoof. This had evidently caus- ed the lameness, and I soon realized, the f interesting fact that the animal d Aired me to attend to his foot. I extract ed the nail with some difficulty, and the horse whimpered with relief and walked awity.
