Metropolis. (By Our Own Correspondent.) The weather took a sudden change About the middle of last week and has been getting hotter and hotter until now the dudes are all wearing- their light summer came and the :ladies go out dressed in their figures. The tramps have deserted the public library and taken to the parks. On Sunday Queen's Park and the Horticultural Gardens • were well patronized, and in the former several park preachers held forth, which all points to summer. Soon in the even- ings will be heard the buzz of the festive mosquito and the song of the love Iorn cat. • On Wednesday last there was a very fashionable wedding on Carleton street, atMr. Cameron's residence, - when his stepson, Mr. Ward, was united in the bonds of matrimonytothe daughter of Baron Von Hughill. The bride is over -thirty, while the groom is under twenty- one, Miss Hughili has nothing, while Mr. Ward comes into a fortune at twenty-one, which is variously estimated at from a million and a half to three millions. The groom's gift to the bride was325,000, and his mother added an- other $5,000. While admiring the beautiful flowers at the door, and watch- ing the long line of carriages with clink- ing chains, coachmen and footmen in livery,- and the richly, dressed ladies passing to and from the house, we won- dered which would be the happier, this couple with everything money could purchase, or the honest -looking young mechanic maids blushing little sweet- heart who was married at a minister's houre about the same time in another part of the city -and went directly to a little home not quite so big as the other couple's conservatory. In OW case the groom was a wild 7oung chap, whose mother got him married to steady him ft in the other a. clever, clear-headed' •young mechanic,- who has no one to thank but himself for the little he has and whe merried for love. -* We heard or IPA rather p‘culiar thing last week. A University student, slight- ly known in Seaforth, was peeling an orange, when he discovered two perfect- ly formed oranges, one large the other small, inside of the one rind. This was tatrily a double-yelked orange, Rev.., Mr. Goldsmith and family, for„ rnerly of Seaforth, are at present in the city, and, we believe, are thinking of settling here permanently. • The - University examinations have now got well under way, and about:four or five hundred young min andwomen are trying to show in two vreeke and 'a half what they have learned in from eight months to four 'years. The ex- aminations at the Collage of Pharmacy -begin next Monday. -Toronto people are a little disgusted with their baseball team, which has only won one game since the season opened, • They play at home the latter part of this - week with London and Toledo. , There is some talk of the Toronto Foot Ball Club going up to Seaforth on the 24th of May. They include among their players, Thompson, Webster, Gordon, Killer, Garrett and Wood, all of whom were chosen on the Canadian team which played last fall in Ireland, 3cat1and and England, BO that they will make the Seaforth boys hustle. We would like to see the match arranged. THE BYSTANDER. "Jesuitism Taftled. Off." DEAR EXPOSITOR. —In a late issue of the Exeter Times 1 notice an article en- titled "Jesuitism Taffied. Off." In said article the writer undertakes to instruct Rev. J. Cook, of Hensall, as to the language he should make use of in ex- posing that sum of all impiety, called Jesuitism, and as the said writer is ashamed to have the community know that he is one of that society he signs himself " Anti -Agitator." There can be little doubt that said "Anti. -Agitator" received his education at Mytiooth col- lege or attended Lessoni at Billingsgate, or it may be he isa' graduate of both. This would be dictator to Rev. J. Cook, and other ministers, is compelled to admit that the said society became dan- gerous and was therefore- suppressed by the Gloverments of Europe and by the - Pope himself. I would ask the writer, who seems to dislike the agitation now going on, as well he -may, if the Jesuits are less dangerous now than When the Pope suppressed them? Father Chini- guy says that the jesuits are absolutely the same to day as when the Pope sup- pressed them. Again, this would be dictator admits that the lecture was in- structive, but charges the reverend gen- tleman with tiling the same course as that fraud of all frauds, 7. F. Widdows. Here again the writer presents the cloven foot in putting a Christian gen- tleman and a minister on a par with an Ex Monk, but this was, no doubt, done in order to get a drive at the Rev. J. Cook for daring to criticise the conduct of that old political trickster whom he calls an honorable statesman. It would be well for Mr. Cook and other ministers WhO have brought this subject before their congregations to consult this wise man of: the east, "Anti -Agitator,!' be- fore they undertake to expose the :aggressive spirit of those whose motto is The end justifies the means."

EDITOR EXPOSITOR. —In last week's issue Mr, George Muffle, in treating on the finances of the township of McKil- lop, pitches into persons very strongly, and he mentions my name a number .of times ; calls me an ass and tells your large number of readers I Am an inquisi- tive Mortal. I was afraid he would. tell all my shortcomings and deformities. I would say to the public -who do not know Mr. Murdie and myself that we are good friends, and that Mr. Murdie depends more on the force and impul- siveness of his arguments for effect, than on thematter contained. It reminds me of ,,the inventor of the first locomo- tive. When asked what the. conse- quence would be if a cow got on the track he Said it would be bad for the cow. I must have run against Mr. Murdie unwittingly. The Bible is a plain book, yet Mr. Murdie. will find plenty.of people who take different views of it from him, and he will think it JO& of brains on their part. No wonder - then. that he finds defects in the treasur- er's books and auditors' reports. And if Mr. Murdie was more inquisitive he would have known it was in the morn- ing Mr. Shannon and: myself went to the treasurer's and not at night, and that out of $224.58 balance, 15th of Februarya1888, that $187 was due the county, and that the dates marked for payments in treasurer's books may not be date of payment as the debentures are mostly paid in the bank and he gets thentonce a month and markethem the date he gets them, so his three months would -likely be a month,. prev- ious. As for the discount in thebank, I.: was at the treasurer's when he showed the auditors the notes,' and no doubt they found the amount correct. As to Mr. Murdie's disappointm east the council meeting, he was the only one to blame.. The Reeve suggested that gr. Murdie and myself should go Into a room to look over the books. Mr. Murdie objected to look at the books, and as he_had snubbed me when trying to explain items to him thatday, and at the nomination also, I objected to go as I had seen for myself. The Reeve asked more than ones if any parties wished to take the mortgagee and books into a room with the treasurer to look over them, as the council were satisfied with Mr. Shannon's and my statement they did not Want to look at them. - He tells us the . Reeve_ admitted' the treas. 'urer's books were wrong. He- tried to construe the Reeve's explanation :into that meaning, but the Reeve told him distinctly he did. not say so. The part of the auditors' .report found fault with . was the amount of municipal fund not in- vested but always shown. to be invested. The council all, as well as Mr. Murdie, thought that amount should be shown, and; when that amount was shoivn the council were satisfied, but Mr. Murdie is not yet.' Mr. Murdie says if I were in- pisitive enough to see by-law; if he was inquisitive enough to see the by-law he would see `they could not place the funds in the banks he advises, and. if he was inquisitive enough to ask .. any little boy the meaning or The old man and his ass," they would tell him by try- ing to please everyone they would please no One. Now, the council appointed who they thoughtthesmartest men in the township, exoept Mr. Murdie and myself, for auditors,,and they verify that the books are correct, and while =Mr. George Ullyott, a well-to-do and widely known farmer in the town- ship of Blanshard, near St. Marys, joined the great majoritY on Friday morning 26th ult. Mr. Ullyott was in St:Marys the day before his death, and • appeared to be in his usual health. Fri- day. morning, however, he complained of feeling unwell, and in a very short time afterwards he was a corpse. Deceased was in hie 56th year. He leaves a widow and a largrfamily. • • • those reqUiringlit should pay expensesourd not the township. : A few years ago a certain' person wanted a commission to inspect the County Treasurer's books and the town: shirt gained $6 and it cost $75. Now there is a Suit entered against the town- ship for da engmeer, a engineer no and this cas $50, and no the plaintiff not give the engineer a breeze also Still Mr. Murdie is quite willingto pay the lexpenses - of a commission to prove that' what he says is correct. I can Assure Mr. 'Murdie he will be auditor next year if alive and well, if there can be another good one got, as I will not be eligible without a by-law qualifying asses for the office. With good wishes for all. ages done by a former d the plaintiff says: the will prove he did wrong,. has cost the township now hence Of getting' the cost off if the township gains. Why every item may not show in their report separately yet the abstract would be correct as- td the full amount, and the auditors must have beensatisfiedbefore signing. Mr. Murdie shows the council took $55.90 from the municipal funds and placed it to the school fund. If the Anal were wrong in doing it put them out. And now he wants a commission to prove he is right and to cost the township 4probably $200 more if ,the council would appoint it. If Mr. Mur - die and other individuals secure a com- mission and the books are found correct What - JOHN. C. MottrixsoN. illed Robert Burns? " Foots are chiels that dinna ding, An' dau na be disput'd."--Buarrs. Mo. EDITOR,—We believe that not even a great and living Reform, like the Temperance cause, will ever be perma- nently benefitted by sullying the name and fame of a greet and dead poet. This feeling induces me to correct the impression , conveyed by some ardent temperance'lecturers no doubt unwit- tingly, that the greatest poet that Scot- land ever produced, and the greatest song writer the world has ever seen,died a miserable ldrunkard. Robert Burns died from rheumatic fever, evidently with heart complication, and was many months ill before his tired spirit took its flight—let in hope to that place, "where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest." Professor Wilson, a youthful cotem- porary of the poet, while composing his "Essay on Burns," investigated the charges of intemperance, had been brought against him. • •• He did this On the spot where his last years had been passed, and where the charges could either be proved or dis- proved by living • 'witnesses. What is his evidence in the, matter? Here it is: "At the time of Burns' death, not a man, • woman or child in Duinfriee could truthfully - say that they had ever seen him intoxicated," The Professor then goes on to say that the universal testimony was to the effect, that it was the literary society that 'attracted ,him to the public house, where all kinds of meetings_ in those days Were held, and ,not the liquors that were sold there. Those who drank with him likewise averred that the poet never seemed to. :care how little „was in his glass, it be- ing the toast, the sentiment and the song that he honored, according to the custom of the times, and that the flow of brilliant conversation was what he valued. . In reference to the last hours of the most wonderful man that the 18th cen- tury * produced, the' genial Professor says "Burns had his Bible with him inhislodgings, and he read it -contin- ually. Again: "His sceptical clOnbta no longer troubled him, they had never been more than shadows, and at last' he had the faith of a confiding Christian." 'Few of the world's poets have been perfect, from David down to Burns, and of all the secular poets at least, and even some of the religious ones, we are constrained to. say as we now do of 'Scotland's nationatbard : " Owninf his weakness.

MzsA, Arizona Territory, April 26, 1889. jDEAR EXPOSITOB,-1 take the liberty of sending you a few lines and telling you a little about the \ Salt River Val- ley, of which the most) of your readers probably never heard. It is situated about the centre of Arizons,in Mar,idops County. It is about 50 miles long and 25 wide, surrounded mountains, and has the Solt River &win through the centre. The soil varies from a heavy clay near the river, to wlighter and more porous on the mesas or table lands, and will produce almost every kind of grain and semitropical fruit. I will name some •of the principal products,. namely: Wheatj barley, corn, alfalfa, which.lat. ter ,yields froi. four to six cuttings a year, and about one and a half tons.of hay to the acre every crop. In fruit's there are peaches, apricots, poMegran- ates, nectarines, oranges, fig, grapes, both wine and raisin almonds, walnuts,. peanuts, etc., and berries -of all kinds. The raisin grape does remarkably well here, and as it is a dryer country than California, it is a better place to make raisins. Nothing can be grown - here without irrigation. There are now over two hundred miles of canal here, and more are spoken of. There is plenty of water in the river all the year to makethii3ge grow. booke were sold; 19,800 -Bibles and testable:1ns ; 150,000 periodicals and 150,000 tracts, handbills,\ 'cards, etc: There were. distributed. -gratuitously -6,000 books and periodicals and 175,000 tracts and handbills, total issue during the year of 527,800; and a total issuesince the commencement of - the society of 17,188;150.
