Our Methodist people must also come:
more fully to the front,and make their in-
fluence felt in municipal, politi cal, and
other public affairs. While avoiding un -
commanded ordinances and artfical sing,
Methodists should 1.old and cherish high
views on temperance, social morality,
commercial honesty and political integrity,
and make these lofty moral convictions felt
in the high places of civio and political
power. If the Methodist Church succeeds
in uniting the.culture and .intelligence of
modern wealth and education, she has un,
dbubtedly a great future before her in this
country.—Christian Guardian.
A reporter of the Chicago Herald lately
interviewed a little, old,grey-haired woman
who said that she made a very good living
by working buttonholes. Women who
spent weeks staking dresses did not have
the patience tm•work the buttonholes, and
wore only too glad• (o let. the job out to an
expert at the business. A dozen button•
holes were worth 25 cents, and as the old
woman was able to. work six dozen in a day
the income was always sufficient to keep
the wolf from the doer. There are seven
recognized buttonhole makers in Chicago,
•nearly all of whom are kept busy tho year
round.

behind him a widow and three small. children:,
He was a. brother-in-law of Mr. V. Ratz, War-

tea,after which he fell into a sleep out of which
he could not be awakened, and in about two

The Dlttcuell Advocate has the following
hard knock for Mr. Reith, the self nominated
candidate for South Huron :—" He should he

the asylum at once. In plain language he is_
a fool. IIe tells us that he never drank a glass

ommend it to the poor, dying consumptive at
least to try one bottle, as 80,000 doz&n, bottles
were sold last year, and no one case where it
failed was reported. Such a medicine as the
German Syrup cannot be too widely known.
Ask your druggist about it. Sample bottles

Montreal, ;ion. 31.—At the local cattle
markets...the aupply_of,bute.hel•s, , pytle is still-,
in excess of the demand, especially' with
common and inferior beasts, . and prices are
unusually low. Trade was very dull to -day,
as the butchers bought freely during the latter
part 'of last week. An occasional sale was
made at do per lb. for very choice beasts, but
comparatively few bring over 3je,with pretty
good -stock at about 3,e per lb. Common and
inferior beef critters sell at from '21c to 3 -lc
per 1'b. Calves are ,scarce and pretty high
priced considering the quality. Sheep in fair
supply' and mixed lots sell at about 4 c per 1b
Only a few live hogs are brought to market

The' Chicago divorce courts last Decemberended the unhappy marriage relations of James
W. Green, of theadefunct Gorrie 1J'nterprise,and,
his wife: About two years ago, it avill be re-
membered, quite an excitement, was caused in
the county over their separation,and some dam-
aging charges were made against Mr. Green,
which atterwards proved entirely without foun-
dation. For the past year and a half he has
'been manager of the• Parkhill, Ont„ Gazette,
and now that he is relieved from his wife, he in-
tends to re-engage in business for himself again,
being backed by a wealthy relative. His wife
is conducting a large and prosperous boarding
house at her home in Chicago. It was at first
reported that. he left her destitute .but it is now
known that she received almost their entire pos-
sessions when they separated.
.Quitea,.sensatton was created in the Metho-
dist church, Blnevale, last Sabbath morning,by'
an erratic stranger of singular appearance, ren-
dered still more striking by the shaggy coltskin
waistcoat and dilapidated black leather shout -
.der satchel, which he wore, rising at the close
of Rev. I tr. Cook's sermon and demanding an
opportunity toaddress the audience. Mr-.
Cook, who eyidently knew the style of man lie
had to,deal with, informed him that. such a de-
mand wascontrary to our usages and could not .
be allowed. In spite of this refusal, however,
• the man persisted in delivering what he claimed
was -a, commission to his people, until one of the
muscular Christians handed him out 'i f dj,00rs,
there to wastee his eloquence on the wintry' air.It transpires that he is a wandering book -ven-
dor or tramp, by the name of Dr. hush. He is
m•
a pious fraud of the lrstater and considerable
