Otte of the greatest of the ()id
,ehioned orthodox preachers of
Vat Dineteeath century*. Charles
Widen Spnrgeon,. has during he
r. past week i.3ttracted to his bed of
paiufu.1 and flaggerous iUuess, the
sympathy of the civilized world.
The secret of his power u uat,. fl
.looked Pr in his moral attributes,
not in his intellectual qualities,
aasrng.tbe word moral In its broad,
!est thrice, the signification of per,
Banal force of character.He al,
ways knows what he wants to say
and Is so clearheaded (as to know
just. how to say •it, but he is too
pL_ofeundly conviuced that his
mission is simply to repeat, the
directly revealed will of God, and
soonearnest in identifying it as
darn y as possible with what he
Ando in bis Bible, to add or to
care to add many intellectual
touches or reasonings to it. Ac-
- .a:opting, as he does, the most liter-
al theory of the direct verbal in-
spiration of the Bible as the Di-
vine Word, be regards doctrinal
• progress as treason to the ging of
the Universe. To him the only
progress that can be real and
_ ..good and safe progress is progress
to identity of statement with the
statements that the Bible makes
on any given subject.
His .tremendous influence is one
of the most interesting studies in
popular le__a�se.�r,ehip that his time
has seat. Hie earnest, frank,
courageous personality made him
powerful preacher, who attract-
-ed crowds at the age of 17 and
had achieved a world-wide re-
putation at the age of 37. His
- chief embellishment is his power
of illustration, a fact typical of
the purpose of the man whose
gifts are devoted as means to the
end that he seeks, and point ever
-to that end and not to the man
• who seeks it. The thoroughness
of this devotion and self forgetful-
ness is one of the secrets of his
power,because the most irresistible
evidence of his sincerity and
absolute faith in the truth as he
sees it. Thus, in the long run,his
personality itself became a groat
center of influence, and all the
ambition be had was gratified
when he could usethat influence to
make people followers of evangeli-
cal orthodoxy as the best way to
anoral progress and .purity.
It is impossible not to respect
such a man from top to bottom,
and respect for him was universal.
Every shade of theological belief,
from Catholics to agnostics, recog-
nizes Spurgeon's moral force and
its value to humanity. The fact
that, doctrinally, the tendency of
the times is steadily away from
the literal evangelicalism in which
he believes with all his heart and
soul and mind, but adds to the
significance of the universal tri-
-bates to his usefulness and strength
of character, and shows that if he
is what many would call a narrow
sectarian in the minor matter of
theology,he is a Catholic of Catho-
lics in the more important practi-
cal duty of Christianity; a brother
to every good worker for humani-
ty and a father of the universal
church of the future.

Vasquez was 1o; Pest . noted
bandit of the early days pi Cali-
ferfia, TO 10 defaance to the
latv, 01 4140, the detectives and
searching parties 'for years, and
killed and robbed half a hundred
Palms"' Ra roamed'pvei the atate
of California from north to the
south, leaving death and desolat-
'ion in his wale, Ile surrounded
himself with a band of desperate
Mexicans and terrorized entire
communities. Lone travelers
by day and by night were stop-
ped on the road and relieved of
their .cash and often of their lives.
A quiet, village in San Joaquin
Valley would be wakend up at the
dead of night by the rush of sound-
ing hoof beats. Timid mea
would pull the covers above their
beads and shiver. Next day the
principal store in the villiage
would be found open, the safe .
robbed, valuable goods taken, and
the guardian, if it had any, dead
with a bullet in his head, or a
knife wound in his heart. Vas-
quez has been there.
Vasquez made history in this way
for five years,and then was caught
like a rat in a trap in an abobe
house, and was shot down by a
newspaper correspondent detailed
to accompany the search party.
He survived his wounds, was
taken- to San Jose, where one of
his earliest and most atrocious
murders bad been committed,
and there met his fate on
the scaffold.
Every time the robbers appeared
one of them, the leader, would be
mounted upon a white horse.
That he had a world of speed was
shown in the way that he would
gallop away from the rest of the
gang when they were pursued.
The horse was hitched behind the
house when Vasquez was shot.
One of the capturing party tried
to take him, and was severely
bitten for hie cupidity. The horse
broke away, went careering off
tower d the canyon where Vasquez
had bad bis rendezvous, and was
lost to sight. Moat people say he
died in the mountains of starva-
tion, but the Mexicans say not.
They saw him again.
The night after Vasquez was
hanged a white horse galloped up
the street to the jail, stood a mom•
ent at the door and gave a neigh.
The Mexicans heard in it call to
the dead Vasquez. There came
no answer to thehorse's chrllange,
and he wheeled about and went as
suddenly as he came. Then be
turned bandit and followed Vas-
quez's old trails. Once in a while
a man would be found on the road
with his body frightfully muti-
lated and his flesh bearing the
marks of hoofs. Sometimes in
the night a white horse would ap-
pear at the door of a Mexican
cabin in some lonely spot and
neigh. If no answer came he
would be off like the wind, but if
any man showed himself the horse
would attack him with hoof and
teeth, and it wasoeldom that a
victim escaped.
Time and again be was shot at,
and one Mexicaebuck was fool-
hardy enough to try to rope him
and met with a horrible death.
The horse bore a charmed life.
He became almost as great a ter-
ror to the Mexicans as Vasquez
bad been to the rich Americans.
If by chance a Mexican's pony got
out of the corral and wandered off provides that the voter must be a

dozen. No man could kill them
and no man dared to attempt to
capture them. With no loads
upon their backs they were fleet
as the wind and could outstrip the
best horse with a rider. The
Mexicans named the, leader
the ' White Devil, ' and said
that Vasquez lived lived again
m his horse.
As the years went by and Vas-
quez became a memory, and his
exploits became the theme for
children's stories, the White Dev
it lost his companions. His visits
to the vicinity of the little towns
became leap and leas frequent and
then ceased altogether.
The proverbial saying about
tbe'islip''twixt the cup and the
lip' was,excellontly illustrated not
long since in Paris under rather
' curious circumstances. A wed-
ding party had reached the Maisie
of the district in which the bride
resided, and all the usual pre-
parations had been made for the
feetivities,which were to mark the
auspicious occasion. The bride
/was duly banded out of the car-
riage, and, leaning on her father's
arm, began to go up the steps of
the building, wherein the Mayor
was waiting to perform the cere-
mony. Tho bridegroom walked
close behind her, and was clumsy
enough to put hid foot on the
white satin train of her• wedding
dress.
The stuff gave way, the dross
was torn, and the fair wearer,
greatly annoyed at the mishap,
turned round upon her future
husband, exclaming angr•' , 'Im-
bseile I' . The young mai, after
remarking alond, elf it be l'ke this
before marriage, what wil it be
afterward?' turned his beckon the
bride and the assembled company
and fled, leaving dismay and con-
sternation behind him. The ser-
vices of M. le Maire were not
needed, the wedding breakfast bad
to be countermanded and the hasty
lady bad no alternative but to
{return home -not a wife, as she

of the Government Row or not.
Recently it bas had a good
deal to say about the iniquities at
Ottawa and has not been siolv to
advise the susl,eneion of Sir Blt ec-
for Langevin. It now says if all
stories are true Mr Hag part, the
Postmaster -General, ought also to
resign. More important than this,
however, is•itsstatement that Mr
Abbott may appeal shortly to the
country. Here is what its Ottawa
eorrespondent telegraphs : Things
grow more critical and the revel-
ations are not yet over, Postmast-
er -General Haggart is next to be
investigated. If the allegations
which have been in circulation
for some days past be true, John
Haggart ought to resign at once
and set a good example to Sir
Hector Langevin. If the Govern-
ment have to carry any more dis-
graced Ministers it may totter an -
der the load. Bat the rank and
file and the two new leaders, Mr
Abbott and Sir John Thompson,
are bent on holding together,with
a reconstruction as soon as pos-
sible, I have it on the best auth-
ority that Mr Abbott and Sir John
Thompson have the resignation of
all their colleagues in hand, to go
into effect as soon as the session is
over. If the opposition insist on
making more charges and contin-
uing the seesiona the Govern-
ment.wiIlintroduce a measure re-
distributing the seats as Boon as
the census figures can be added up,
and that means a general election.
The new leaders, so their near
friends say, have as a duty to keep
the Reformers ,out of power, and
their next to reconstruct the Gov-
ernment, and appeal if necessary
to the country as soon as the lists
are revised and the seats redistri-
buted. They are ready to sit un-
til October in order to do this.
Another well authenticated rumor
is that W. R. Meredith will go in-
to the Cabinet in place of Sir Hec-
tor.

The time during which electors
may register their votes has been
extended from the first to the
fifteenth of August by a bill intro-
duced into Parliament by the
Minister of Justice, which amends
the Dominion Franchise Act.
Electors will, therefore, have
nearly a month in which to secure
their votes. The bill of the Min-
ister of Justice also amends that.

was to be expected; but the effect has
been to demonstrate the superior mer-

Dr George A. Tye, one of the
ablest physicians in Canada, died'

an ex -president of the Medical As-

1888.
William, son of Mr John Price
of Galt, met with a severe acci-
dent on Friday afternoon last.

out playing and had climbed one

corner of Beverly St and Stone
road. Young Price in some way
fell from the tree to the ground,
breaking both arms at too wrists
and otherwise injuring himself.
A sad accident occurred at
Gadabilt about one o'clock Friday
afternoon, whereby P. Wolfe,
aged ten years, lost his life. The
unfortunate boy was walk-

father's barn, when he in some
way missed his footing and fell to
the floor, a distance of fifteen feet
The injured boy was immediately
removed to the house and medical
assistance summoned, but he died
about two hours after the accident
occurred. Tho boy had oroken

AND HEATING
This amendment is intended to
prevent Canadians who have be-
come Americans by naturalization
from securing votes by swearing,
as many of them did not hesitate
to do, that they were British
subjects by birth. It was stated
during the recent elections that
the Canadian railway companies
competed with one another in
carrying carloads of Americans to
vote on either siue whose names
wore placed on the list by this
evasion of the moaning if not the
letter of the law. Another amend-
ment of the law is intended to pre-
vent the possibility of voters'
names being removed from the
list after having been placed there-
on by the revising barrister, and
while in the process of printing.
It provides that the revising bar-
rister shall count and state the
number of names on the lists he
prepares. This amendment is
not calculated to prove very ef-
fective, inasmuch as it will be
quite possibl3 to remove names
and substitute others, and if
people connected wi t.h the Govern-
ment Printing Buren u- avhere the
lists are printed, do lis • hesitate
to remove names oI Liberals,
they certainly will not stick at
substituting names of Conserva-
tives, or even fictitious names, in
order to preserve the proper
number. These attempts at re-
form aro however, we believe,
sincer•e,,and aro certainly in the
right direction. The only ad-
equate reform, however, would
be to reform the whole Franchise

To Mr P. Straith Clinton.-DRAa SIR, -Re
specting your machine for grinding Reaper
and Mower Knives, I have used one for the
last four years and feel satisfied that no other
machine that I have ever seen will give the
same satisfaction, as my experience is that
both the stone and the knife keep their shape
in a mannbr that is astonishing, and one per-
son can both turn the stone and hold the
knife with the greatest of ease. 1 feel that I
am perfectly justified in recommending your
machine to the farmers of Ontario, or any
other country,as one thatif properlylused and
taken care of,will give the best of satisfaction
to those using it.

Knife Sharpener is an indispensable re-
quisite to the farmer of to -day. By its
means a Knife can be sharpened by one man
in one half the time it used to take two then,
or at least one man, and a boy to turn the

done. We have nsed one now for years, and
