Percy Doraville, youngest son of C. H. Doraville, Mechanical Superinten- dent of the G. T.

It is no doubt very nice to receive t •.,'100 for an investment of $1, but difference is there, in this method of winning money, to its investment in bogus grain deals, eto. The Parkhill Gazette thinks that be- cause we favor the abolition ef.the "fee gram" in the payment of sheriff, 'etc., ..aould go a step further, and advo- . to their election by the people. Not much, the country_would be in a nice state of turmoil, if all the positions such as bailiff, clerk,registrar, sheriff, etc., were at the disposal of a county council, or were made elective. We can fanny the "log rolling" that would be resorted to. The present method ofappointment may have its objections, but it is in our opinion mach better all round than any other; it is the way they are paid that we object to, and e even a straight salary is not applicable to some of the positions, because the duties are not definable.

From an advance copy of the re- port of the Minister of A¢ricuiture for the calendar year 1890, the follow- ing statistics are gleaner : In On- tario the fall wheat, root and hay crops were 'good, but oats, barley and spring wheat were below the average. In Quebec the grain crops were all below the average, but hay was abundant, A large proportion of Manitoba and Northwest grain will grade low. The total importation of live stock into the Dominion was as follows. Cattle, 1,386 head ; sheep, 30,551 ; swine, 1,324 mules 3; ;horses, 1,694. No infectious disease was discovered at quarantine in any of the imported stock. The exports to the United Kingdom of cattle, 122,182 bead,were largely in excess of any previous year, as the following table shows : Cattle. Sheep. 1882 35,378 75,905 4883 55,625 114,352 1884 61,843 67,197 1885 69,158 38,534 1986 64,555 94,297 1887 ° 64,621 35,473 1888 60,828 46,167 1889 85,653 58,983 1890 122,182 43,780 The large shipments of store cattle are regretted. Prof. McEachran at- tributes the detention on suspicion of disease of two or three cargoes Last summer to the fact that they included some milch cows near calving and some with calves, these animals being more liable to contract pneumonia and bronchial affections. He also re - fere to the need of stockyard accom• modation at or near Montreal. The total itnports and exports of horses last year were 16,550, valued at $1,- 936,073; of cattle, 81,454, valued at $6,949,417; of sheep, 315,931, valued at $1,274,347. The archives brarch has made a beginning in the work of copying the archives in Paris in relation to the history of Lower Canada down in 1763. The total shipments of phosphate reached 26,062 tons against 27,718 the previous year. Great Britain took 21,539 tons and Germany and the United States the remainder. From the results of the experiments it is belieyed by the Deputy Minister that in average seasons a large quantity of two -rowed barley can be produced in theibetter barley districts of Ontario of such quality as will com- mand satisfactory prices in Great Britain. Mr E 0 Vi it ams; of the Sixteenth district of Madison county, is the owner of the only genuine Easter duck on re- cord. Mr Williams exhibited a duck egg the other evening that was as black as ink. The duck bas laid four eggs, and all of them are as black as the one shown. A large bundle of petitions was pre- sented in the Michigan Senate on Thursday, signed by several hundred prominent ladies of Detriot, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Saginaw, Mar- quette,Port Huron, Monroe, Ann Arbor and Flint, in behalf of more efficient legislation for protecting women and chilbren against criminal assault, and also for the restoration of the death penalty.

The following is contributed by an Ftngiish 0ul'respondent. It may be an overdrawn picture; if not it represents a phase of life that is terribly fast:—I was talking recently with `aLondoner on the subject of social life among the nobility, and had expressed surprise that it should supply to tbo newspapers eo much material for scandalous gossip. He,repli.- ed that the men and women of rank conducted their iwmorality, in such an open way that news- paper writers could not fail to bear of it; in fact that vice was openly countenanced by the ar- istocracy to an extent that can. not be understood by men and women of the middle class. When a b,,,stess invites a houseful of guests to her country place she is extemely careful to select ladies that are particularly congenial to certain men, carrying this habit to the extent of bringing couples together whose imtimacy is tbo talk of the towu. A duke who bas been pet sistently chasing some other man's marchioness for years makes it a rule, not to ac- cept an invitation unless his favorite is to be one of the com- pany,and he will easily go so far as to write to this effect to his hostess, who at once includes the marchioness in her list if she be not there already. This custom of looking out for one's amorous interests in social intercourse prevails in all strata of the aris- tocracy from royalty down. And it is a little odd that a nobleman without a favorite is an unique per- sonage. It has always 1 eau sur- prising to people when first in— troduced into the society of the British aristocracy to find with what freedom the indelicate phases of life are discussed and commented- on Miss f rditt'btt;. an American girl, when she en- tered society here as the wife of Joseph Chamberlain, became so incensed at a discussion at the table of a duchess where she was dining that She rose and left the room. By this time she has probably become used to it, and nu longer exhibits her democratic breeding by her disapproval of vulgar conversation. One of the very noticeable habits of English society women is to pet young men. Tlr6reall a tall, strapping young fellow of tiyenty "sweet thing" and "darling boy," and stroke his cheek or kiss him—in a careless way, of course. Ex- perience, however, must have long before proved to them that tall boys of twenty are composed of somewhat inflammable materi al, and are capable of returning the kits of a pretty woman, even if the osculation is 'careless.' Young men brought up under this sort of tender patronage are not going to stand off and treat a woman with shy respect when they grow out of the state of boy- hood, and the consequence is, that Lady Freshlips finds her 'boy' of twenty a very dangerous suitor at twenty five. The large com- panies at country houses also conduce to extreme familiarity between the sexes. The women are, as a rule, as horsey and doggy as the men, and they gamble just as high. All of them have name and wealth to fall back on, and it is more easy to drift luxuriously into an existence where every- thing that gives a moment's pleasure is seized upon, and as very strong things aro the most attractive these seizures often lead to results that cannot be happily contemplated by the moralist. This recognition and cultiva- tion of vies in English finds ad- ditional exemplification in the life of the street, where the worst women that this world will ever produce carry on a nameless traf- fic under the protection of the police. They throng the side- walks at night so as to snake them well nigh impassable, and make of the entire city a vicious, frightful rioting resort, the police in the meantime calmly survey- ing their indecencies, and stand- ing ready to defend them if they are interfered with. The crimes of Whitechapel are not in the least surprising, and the wonder only is that similar crimes are not perpetrated in Piccadilly, where a like state of revolting immorality is allowed full sway. The women in Whitechapel invite murder. They fight and swear and fall sick from drink in the innumerable public houses that swarm all through the district, and when- ever they find a sailor or work- man intoxicated they do what they can to lure him where ho may be robbed. Thousands of these fiend women crowd into view every night in "W hitechapel. The sidewalks are offensive with them and in the saloons they aro like ants. And they are recog- nized by her Majesty's police. I have seen two horrible women in the Whitechapel road attempting to drag an intoxicated sailor away with them, while a passing police- man merely cast a careless glance towards them and left the man to their mercy. When these wretch- es found that the sailor would not accompany them they both struck bim in the face with their fists, and, as ho fell to the ground, kicked him, while a group of wo- mon of their own class encouraged them. When I found the policman and toll him what had occurred ho walked quietly back to where tbe;;tpan was R.taggering abotit and told bim; to be off. I asked him if be was not going to arrest the women, and be said he. would if I would inake the complaint. As by that time the two fennble brutes bad lost themselves in the mob at some neighboring public house, the futility of attempting to bang them to justice was quite as apparent to me as to the policeman.

Miss Clara Sanderson, of Med icine Hat, tasted the contents o1 a bottle on ashelf iii the pantry and died in tee minutes. It was strychnine. Gov Burke, of North Dakota, in answer to a question as to the crop outlook in the State, said the indications are the best for seven years. Marinus E.

Mr Winslow made an investigation Friday and the dream proved to -bo true. The coffin had been opened and the body removed. No SOFT SNAP.—The census enumer- ators got a move on early Monday morning, and by noon had acquired some idea of their duties and the amount; of work that could be accomp- lished in a day. The people should make it a point to co-operate with the Government official byaffording him all the aid in their power. A refusal to do so, or a mistatement of fade, leaves the individual liable to punishment. The enumerators are sworn not to divulge any information given, and should re- ceive a frank ane cheerful answer to every"question propounded. Let there be unity in this matter and the work will progress much more rapidly and agreeably. The statement published in the various city papers to the effect that the census enumerators aro paid $3 per day, is incorrect. The rates of pay are as follows: In cities and towns 3c. for each living person recorded: 3c. for each death entered for a year back, and 20e. for each industrial establish- ment. In the country, :3o. for each living person recorded: 3c. for each death entered for a year back; 20o. for each industrial establishment: and ]5r. for each farm recorded.

When a dinner is given at Wind- sor or Buckingham Palace fish to the extent'of £ O worth i8 ordered but for an ordinary family dinner three kinds of fish are put on the table, whiting being almost invar- iably one of them. A sirloin of beef is cooked every day and put on the sideboard cold for luncheon. The Queen takes atter her dinner one water biscuit and a piece of cheddar cheese; the Prince of Wales eats a bit of gorgonzola with a crust of homemade bread. The tea, the cheese, and the royal be d are always taken along whenever the Queen travels. Her Majesty's wine, which is well known to be incomparable, is kept in the cel- lars of St. James' Palace, and is sent in basketfulls of three dozen to w berever she may be, this being done more for ORO household and guests than for herself, as when alone she drinks only weak whis- key and water with her meals, by her physician's orders At ban- quets, however, she takes two glasses of Burgundy.

The undersigned is Agent for this well-known Waggon, ai which a very large num- ber have been sold during the past years. It recommends itself, for people no soon- er see it than they are able at once to appreciate it. I sold 8 this season within 30days Robt Beatty, of Orangeville, writing -to the Company says:—"In summing up my waggon sales for the last six years, 1 find I have sold over 400 Chatham Waggons, and in all that number I have not heard of one break or one loose tire. I, therefore, must congratulate you on building the best waggon in Canada." It is said by some waggon makers that they have spent a long life in the business, and that, therefore theirs is the better waggon, 11 this be so, how is it that this company, who only commenced making waggons seven years ago, are now making and selling more waggons than the whole or them put together? Simply because the public appreciate the fact that undqubtedly they make the best waggon in the Dominion to -day ; and hereby invite any/one or all those waggon makers who make this claim for their waggons to a test of waggons for ease of running and carrying capacity against the Chatham Waggon for $100. I am also agent for the Oshawa Noiseless Gear Buggy, an article that sells at sight. Also the Daisy Hill Road Cart, claimed to he the best cart in Canada, and also carts of other well-known makers.
