Morin.' That is white I do now. Mr.
Foster is not the man for me; it is 'Seer'
Charles."
Jean Baptiste Morin's experience was the
tale of many another humble follower in the
ranks of the Opposition. When Sir Charles
first stepped into the position of leader he
was looked upon as a man of icy dignity,
naturally overbearing. This impression
was born of ignorant belief, not of aequaint-
&nee. No man could be more falsely de-
scribed. Every hour of his _leadership
strengthened him in the affection of hie
party, and soon formal acquaintance
ripened in a strong and enduring friend-
ship. Sadder, perhaps'than the despatches
which announced defeat, will be the in-
telligence conveyed to the Conservative
party to -day' that Sir Charles Tupper is to
be its leader no more. He was a grand
figure in parliamentary life, and many a
party leader who survives him in the
political arena, will strain in vain to reach
the heights which Sir Charles Tupper at-
tained.

NOTE.—The deputy returning officer at

candidates a statement showing the vote
there to be Holmes 32 and McLean 66, but
his statement in the • bellot box read the
reverse of this, and the declaration by the
returning officer was made accordingly,
giving Holmes a majority. of 93, whereas if
the first statement is correct, the majority
will be 25. Which is the correct state-

Trials of a Missionary in China,
The following are extracts taken from a
letter received from Miss Maggie -E. John-
ston, formerly of Stanley, but lately a mis-
sionary in Wenchon, Chek-Kiang °Province,
China, but who since'with lathers, has gone
to Japan. Mies Johnston describes a few
of the many hardehips the missionaries and
native Christians have been compelled to
suffer at the hnnds of the _Boxers. She
says : "We had a very trying time, be-
fore leaving Wenchon. We were in the
British Consulate four days and five nights,
and, as there had been no one living in the
house for months, it was empty and damp.
There was not even one chair in the whole
/mese, which is three stories high. The
floOrs are all made of stone, in fact the
whole house is made up of stone and iron, so
that in case of trouble it would be fireproof.
We were all glad to take refuge there, but
it was very cold sleeping on the stone floor.
This, coupled whit the anxiety we had, did
not make the night restful, but our little
trials are not worth mentioning when we
think of our great deliverance. For half a
day we thought all chance of escape had
gone, as the chief magistrate sent us a ines-
sage saying that he had orders from the
Empress Dowager to enliet all the Boxers
with the soldiers and kill every foreigner.
One of our number wrote to ask him if he
would not protect Us, but he said he could
not, as he had nothing to do with the sold-
iers, and that the officers were very much
against us and Were even then enrolling the
Boxers.
I need hot tell you that we did not sleep
much that night, for, although a narrow
rieer separated U8 from the city, we all kept
wate,h, and every tirne we heard the splash
of an oar or a shout across the river we
thought the enemy were at hand. We took
our last look at the city about one o'clock in
th morning of July 15th, and our feelings
can better be imagined than described as we
sailed away.
We have just had dreadful news from
Shanghai this week. A party of ten of our
China Inland missionary workers and child-
ren were coming down from Shan -Si prov-
ince, where they were attacked by Boxers,
and one lady, Miss Rice, was beaten and
cruahed to death by a cart being driven over
her body. Mies Huston was so badly beaten
that she died a day or two later. Mrs.
Cooper was also so badly injured that she
died, and Mrs. Saunders two children were
killed, and another lady wounded. One of
Mrs. Cooper's children has since died, and
the other members of the party are scarcely
able to move, they were so badly treated.
They travelled for fifty days without any
money, and all their clothing was torn off
with the exception of one garment for each.
They had not even a handkerchief to put
over their heads to protect them from the
burning sun. Part of the time they had
nothing but grass to eat and water out of
the dirty ditches to drink. It is the great-
est wonder that one of them survived to tell
the tale. This is only one of the dreadful
stories we are constantly hearing. Many
parties are still missing.'
-Andrew Percy, an employee of the J.
D. Moore Company, of St. Marys, had a
narrow escape from a serious accident on
Friday afternoon at the company's mill
while cutting slabs with the shaving
machine. A piece of board flew up and
struck Mr. Percy in the side with great
force, which compelled him to lay off work
for the balance of the afternoon and all day
Saturday. The force of the blow was
partially broken by a heavy cased watch
Mr. Percy carried, and which received the
full force of the flying board, which badly
damaged the watch.
-Mr. and Mrs. John Hornibrook, of
Brandon, celebrated their golden wedding
on MonJay, -October 29th. They were
