BI1FrALo, July 18.—The city is fall of

rulers kicked, spoke of te coun-
try as going to ruin; crops, prices,
trade, all very bad—'Government,
not only corrupt,but incompetent.'
On the other hand it was claimed',
that 'notwithstanding the lull in
general business, Canada was be -
ter conditioned and more prosper-
ous than any other country on
the globe."

thing of much importance is to be sprung ago. From this we infer that no
reliance whatever is to be placed
on the claims of the opposition.
'Even figures, which it is said can-
not lie, show a very different foot-
ing, according to the party that
formulates the theorem.
Our kickers (and with all their
faults we love them still) ground
their chief complaint on our popu-
lation, which is not so large as it
should be. Is the solidity or

By no means. It is the gravity
of the 'final drop,' the thrill of the'
'welt nerve,' the 'spatial tick' on
the index of the mighty. planis-
pbera of nations. Population is
not a sure criterion to judge
wealth by, it is the integral ad-
vance, the individuality attained
by a country, that marks ,its pro-
gress. -
Canada is ' .E'Pluribus Unum,'
one of the" many component parts
of earth's' greatest, richest, freest,
strongest empire in Dither present
or past ages. Many generations
aro passed since England rose
above the sphere of boasting. Her
national supremacy is established,
and all the world acknowledges it.
Wherever her flag is raised,, there
is freedom. Oppression cannot
breathe in Britains domain.
'Hold 1' says one, (a kicker or a
Yankee) 'you forget down -trodden
Ireland, with its evictions, assassi-
nations and agrarian murders.'
Not so., friend, we heard all
about it. The month of May in
Now York city sees more evictions
than are effected in that green
isle in a year, and there were more
murders last year in a single'
county in Michigan (Wayne) than
in all Ireland. So said Mr Abbott
in a late speech, in the Legisla-
tive Chambers. at Lansing, in the
wolverine State.
In Ireland there is tin.•element
whose intrinsic factor is turbu-
lency. It was always there,though
Dr Keating tries to cover the fact
in his excellent history of' the
down -trodden island, but he only
makes their innate restlessness
more apparent, Nevertheless,
the Yankees are so very anxious
on the subject, that a fully de-
veloped Fenian is deemed fit to
represent the United Staten in
foreign courts as American Conn -
sal. 'Parturient Montes, Mus.'
Are wo Canadians ready, for any
number of dollars and cents, to
sever' our proud position, as an
integer in the British-Empire,and
lose odr identity in the neighbor-
ing Republic ? A country with-
out a name. Wo trust not.

Mr. Press Whitaker of the Mansion bone

tion will be to fix a precise and unchangeable
date upon which strawberries shall be served
In shortcake, there beim, ruinous tendency
on the part of some hotels in she eastern por-
tion of the state to begin the service of this
delicacy before the frost ie out of the
ground.
Tho popular belief that a hotel register is
the unfailing index of the guests of the house
is some times erroneous, as 'was made evi-
dent at the Manston House in 'this city on
Sunday evening when a gentleman whose
shoulders were about a yard .wide, whose
black hair was closely cropped, and whose
hands were about the color of raw beef,
swaggered into the supper room end took a
seat at a conspicuous table. The name of the
individual appeared on the betel register
Rev. Edmund Edwards of Westminster,
Eng., but ha hadn't got as far as the third
bite in his piece of broiled white fish before
the news bad spread through the dining room
that his name was Charley Mitchell of Eng-
land. It was indeed the pugnacious com-
panion of KUrain and ,ret while plaything of
John L Sullivan He bad arrived in Buf-
falo suddenly from the Canadian border and
was bent upon smuggling himself in cog. to
New York, from which pofnt, he'announced,
be would take the fret steamer for the other
side. He left here on rho ..evening train, ao-
companied to the depot by an -admiring
throng. Great indeed is the glory of a prize
fighter in this generation.
One of the characters of Buffalo who sel-
dom makes himself visible on the streets, but
IB nevertheless actively engaged In that line
of business most commonly affected by New
York aldermen, is an individual known as
Col. Cooper. The peculiaritAnt this gentle-
man is that he is seven feet eight inches in
height. It is commonly reported that on
more than ono occasion people of temporarily
disordered nerves, who have accidently
strayed into Col. Cooper's "place" on Main
street, have been so etartl.d at the extraord-
inary spectacle of this human telescope un-
folding itself, as to flee from the,sight in ter-
ror.
error. When the Colonel sits at his bar he has
the appearance of an ordinary sized man
with an abnormally large head, his nose be-
ing about four inches in length. When . he
rises to wait on a customer be seems to
come up from tiie cellar, and before the
atartled customer knows what has happened,
a gruff voice from the region of the root
roars down the inquiry as to what be will
have. This Col. Cooper, is a retired member
of the Congress. of Giants, which Barnum
carried'around'Che country a few yeare ago.
He has taken up his abode here permanently
with his equally distinguished wife who was
formerly the $10,000 prize beauty of, circus
fames
The eight of this retired giant, if 1 may use
that expression, bending himself nearly
double to get into a barber shop this morn -
big, recalls an announcement which I have
recently seen to the elect that there are Oo
be a curious lot of human beings on exhibi-
tion
xhib -tion at the International Fair this year. I
don't mean freaks or people of the dime
museum order, but genuine representatives
of remoto and unfamiliar tribes. For ex-
ample there is to be a band of Mils, some
Hottentots, Samoan, and a most tnteresttng
quartette of musical Oantemalians. I once
had the pleasure of listening tc this Gaate-
raalien orchestra and I bene never forgotten

I never saw or beard anything like it before
Or Liinno& It is built upon the patern of a
!y%pbone, bat it is about ten feet long and
is at least three feet deep at one
end. From this peculiarly constructed
ash these native Gaytamalfans, by the
use of drum sticks produce a volume of
sound which is simply astonishing and really
beautiful Thera is nothing of the tom-tom
order•about their music. They play a class
of melodies which I should say were of
Spanish origin and which are simply capti-
vating.
1 was talking with the Secretary, of the
Fair the other day and asked him if it were
not rather a new departure for an Exposition
such as is held here, to go into this line of at-
tractions. His reply was to the point. "Our
atm," said he, "is to have something to amuse
and instruct all possible varieties of visitors
A fair_whichis simply agricultural and in-
dustrinl does not 'meet our requirements; We
propose to have an exposition of as many
curious, amusing and instructive features as
it is possible to obtain, and while we are
giving even more attention than we did last
year to .the live stock exhibition, we are
branching out to every other direction as
well"
The inventors' exhibition, about which I
bops to tell you at length in a subsequent
letter, promises to be a most deeply interest-
ing feature of the Fair. What could possibly
be more interesting than a comprehensive.,,
collection of curious patented models in
operation. Already the ambitious Inventors
who bope some day to harness the power of
Niagara to the uses of manufacture are, 1 am
told, applying in large numbers for space
along the banks of the minature Niagara
river, which is to be constructed on the Fair
grounds. This river is to be several feet wide

We noticed lately in the' col-
umns of a kicker, a tabulated view
of what Canada would gain in the
sale of her cereals, if we had un-
restricted reciprocity. The fig-
ures made us think of the Moorish
King-Boabdil's theoryofgoing to
war. He, with a dozen men,
would ' 'challenge as many of the
enemy's soldiers to fight a duel,
kill them, and •ehallenge another
dozen ; kill them, and challenge
others, and so on, till their foes were
all killed. Boabdil could not be-
lieve • any of his own men would
be hurt in his duel war, neither
did our tabulating kicker consider
that while he avoided the customs
duties,; direct taxation would ab-
sorb the profits.
Contradiction is not argument,
nor is 'flow do you know,' irre-
futable reasoning. Reciprocity
would revolutionize our financial
concernment, shut the door in
England's face, and render Cana-
da a slaughter house for tho Unit-
ed States, who would buy all we
had to sell, and we would bo ob-
liged to go to Y arkeotown to buy
all we 'wanted, because, with a 40
per cent tariff against us,we could
buy no more from England. Wo
would respectfully suggest that
those who advocate closer union
with the Republic, bo kind enough
to exhibit their pot fad in detail,
loss of revenue, direct taxation,
glutted markets, restricted com-
merce, etc., toll it all. C
[Our correspondent just does in
part of this letter, what he blames
the so-called kickers for doing:—
He assumes that curtain things
world result from certain actions,
but advances no proof' in support
of his assumption. As a matter
of fact, our trade with the United
States last year was 811,000,000
.more than with England'. - (Soo
Trade and Navigation returns.)
56 that already wo have shut the
door in England's face to that ex-
tent. If Reciprocity would bring
about diract taxation it would in
that way alone prove of inesti-
mable benefit, because direet taxa-
tion is the cheapest way of raising
revenue. --En. Nov ERA.1 -
