PARSON AND POLITICIAN. When Rev. W. W. Carson was called on for a speech, in the eity hall after the election in Kingston, he stepped to the front of the plat- form and said :—"Gentlemen : it bait heen my very great pleasure to armlet you in creating the inagnifi:;ent majority piled up today ; a major, icy piled up for the greatest living stateeman. There is not a man that voted either fur or against Sir John, that will not feel proud to know he is represented by such a man as Sir John, who had been the city's member for 50 years." OUR LITTLE FOLKS. Hon. G. W. Ross, Minister of E location, has presented to the Legislature his report for the year 1890, together with the statistics for 1889. It gives the 'wheel popula- tion of the Province for .1889 as 616,028, of which number 500,815 pupils were registered, 263,047 were boys and 237,768 girls. The average attendance in rural sections was 47 per cent. of the registered at- tendance, while in towns it was 60 per cent. and iu cities 64 per cent. With regard to the average attend- ance as compared with the register• ed atteudanoe, the report says it is evident that the power conferred upon trustees to compel the attend'. anoe at school of children between the ages of heven and thirteen years is not exercised. But legislation will be introduced during the pres- Ant session dealing with the question Df absentees. BLUNDERING. Bruce Herrod —Dr. Bonner hav- ing made application, the ballots in the North Bruce election for the Cout(nons were recounted by Judge Kingsmill on Tuesday last. The result was that McNeill's majority of 39 was reduced to 30. This difference was caused by the arrant stupidity of some of the Deputy Returning Otlicere. It is amazing how Rome of thein, pretending to know all about it, Dake such htun, dors, when their instructions are so plain and comprehensive that any schon! boy ought to he able to under- stand theta. One of them, and he a school teacher—save the mark— numbered each hallnt. Of course the Judge had to disallow them, so that that district was emetically die - franchised, It would be well to impose a flue nn such people, in the hope that it would he the means of a little knowledge penetrating the denseness of their dull craniums. WHAT fA:PRATEI) CARLING. 'The London Free Press, in the course of a lengthy article, in which it urged its friends to re organize, crakes the following reference to the defeat of the Hon. 3Ir. Carl. ing : Some electors were tempted with direct money bribes, others with public patrnage ; many were paralyzed with exceesivo liquor and removed out of the way ; many others were inveigled out of the city, and detained until the polls were rinsed ; others were bullied into silence, allowing their votes to go by default ; and living and dead alike were personated by men hired for that `purpose. That was how the election was carried, as will doubt- less he shown in due time, and in ample detail) before the proper tribunal What may weigh with the court, when the matter comes to trial, we neer) not here speculate upon Nor will all the facto be ready foe disclosure for some little 11me. AN OPEN CONFESSION. The New York Herald says "that now the elections are over it may tee well be confessed that there is some truth in the story that Uncle Sam is plotting to annex Cagada." THE N. P. DID IT. The Ch'cago Inter Ocean says :— The result of the Canadian elect- ions shows a growth of feeling in favor oI Commercial Union with the United States, and adecidecl avers - inn to free trade. It was the protec tionist qualities of Sir John, not his jingoism, that saved him from utter defeat. THE OLD MAN WILL DO IT. The New York Sun says:—Now that Sir John Macdonald has gained a new lease of power in Canada through the success of the 'Tory party, lie must adopt it policy Lased wholly on -thainteaeats_o.f-the. Canadian. pro, vinces, not on those of the United TRU OLD PQLIOT. Since the elections Sir Chas. Tup- per said: lam very sanguine that real• procal trade arrangements on a broad and liberal basis between Canada and the United States will very soon be wade ewbraoing all such articles, whether the products of the forest or the farm, as can be arranged to the mutual advantage of both countries. My confidence in that arises from the fact that Mr. Blaine was known to be strongly opposed to the McKin- ley Tariff Act, sad he hoe sought to relieve that measure of the natural consequences which must flow from it by proposals for reciprocal arrange- ments with other countries. So far from refusing to make anything but treaties of unrestrioted reciprocity, the treaty he has made with Brazil simply embraces the articles that both countries agreed upon could exchange to the mutual benefit of each, either free or at a reduced rate of duty, leaving many other articles at the existing rates of duty. A DAISY PLAINTIFF. At the Woodstock SpringAsszes a grey-haired widow named Fallowfield sued one Hutchison on a trumped up charge of breach of promise of marriage. She lost the suit as may be imagined by the following evid- ence:—For the defence George Bloor of Dereham, formerly of Ingersoll, was the first witness. He swore that he formerly lived for some time next door to her in Ingersoll and that a man named Brown occupied her apartments with her continuously, and that t ther men were in ti habit of entering her rooms at all hours of the night. Thos. Brown swore that he hoarded for a time with Mrs. Fallowfield in Ingersoll and at times occupied the same bed—and the only one in the apartment—with his landlady. Dayid Kern, blacksmith, swore that she kept house for hila in Beach ville and that their relations were anything but moral. She ac- cused him off having promised to marry her. THE NORTH PERTH INIQUITY. In the Ontario l.egielature Mr. Meredith was received with applause when he rose to prefer his charge against the Government I -Ie said he wanted it understood that the Government had no right to interfere with the Clerk of the House in his public duties. It was un- neeeseary for hill/ So sty that the Grit inetnb r t,r North Perth, elejted in June, has been unseated. It was well known that the liet on which the election had taken piece was most unfavorable to the Conservative psr`y, and that the new lists would net be so, H' chnrged that there wit, direct collusiou between those wlro were managing the Litreral cam- paign there and the (1 tvernmeut by which the issuance of the writ was hastened so as to p• event the new lists from being need. The leader ' f the Oupnsiti er then undertook to prove that 'hese writs had heen illegally issued. The Cuntrover'ed Elections Act provides. that eight days shell elapse between the time the rota judges give their decision and the time the writs are issued f -r the purpose of atlowinv an appeal to be entFred. This was not adhered to in this inter. The trial was concluded on the 9th December, and aec-trding to law the order for a new erection sheutd not have been given en'il the lith of that month, but we bud that the write were Welled nn the 13th, and the new lists come into force nu the I5th If the taw had been adhered to these Bete would have been ueed in the by-election. The Government -knew this well, end made this deliherate attempt to dis- franchise a targe number of eleotnre be- cause they believed, together with the patty managers in the constituency, that the result of the elections depended thereon. Such a course was not pursued in any of the other b;•-elec'ians. In the ease of Etat Durham the Judge's decis- ion was g ven on tire 4.h rf Decors ber, but the writs were not tesued until the 20:l-, or seven days after those in North Perth ; hut in spite of the collusio-t be- tween the Uoverntneet and their tel-. lowers, sir.

(Opposition cheers ) Io c rneloil ing he said that he charged that tho writs had been issued in di.eot contravention of the nct,•anl he hoped the At'orney•Geueral could give an ex- plici denial to it.

On her deathbed she oa'afe.sed to her mother that she heti iu- cited Arthur to the rntrrder,and had help- ed to commit the deed by aiding him in pnehing his wife over.

SY OQT4,Y'R Tg4ANI T, Harry always wants his Aunt A,llee to tell Win "truly true story." So one might she told him this "truly true story." So many years ago that grandma's grandma couldn't remember it ; when people were still writing 16 at the right of their figures for the year, and all the big men wore short trousers, like little boys, with swords dangling about their legs; and there were no railways, no telegraph wires, no steam engines; and carriages were so heavy and clumey that people were carried about the streets by men, in oover- ed chairs ; and forks were only used by rich people ; and witches could be burned alive , long, long, two hundred years long ago, there was a Scottish kuight who had a brave daughter. The knight's name was Sir John Cochrane, and the girl'e name was Griselda, but he always called her Grizzy. Grizzy was the best and most daring rider iu all the couutry, Now, at this time, the King was a cruel man, and to escape hie vengeance, Sir John had fled across the seas. Fooliehly, he came back, with the Earl of Argyle ; and they tried to make the Duke of Mon- mouth king instead of James. 'That is how it carne to pass that one morning, Grizzy looked through the tunny little panes of window glass in a Highland castle, and saw the stone courtyard, below, swarm- ing with armed men, all in their Highland kilts "Why ! did big men wear kilts, then'!" said Harry. "Yes, dear," said his aunt, "hut, not quite like your kilts ; they were shorter and made out of plaided wool, and their stockings (which they called 'trews') were wore plaided, also,"— "Oh, I know," said Harty, "Willy Grant has H ghland clothes; and ho has a white skin purse and a dagger, not a really dagger, just a make-believe dagger." "But the Highlanders had real daggers, dirks they called them, stuck in their belts. And they car- ried huge swords which they called claymores, and a round shield which they called a buckler." "Didn't they carry any gone 1" asked Harry eagerly, "I should think the other soldiers would shoot thein all dead before they they could got up to cut with their swords." "Oh yes, they carried guns," said aunt Alice, laughing, "but they always threw their guns away." "Then what was the good of thein 1" said shrewd little harry. "O.h I dare say they got them again, after the battle. You sec this was the way the Highlanders fought :—They fired off their guns, with more noise than hurt, most likely, then they yelled "claymore!" and charged like a herd of wild bulls. And so frightful was this mass of furious inen with their swords, and so difficult was it, in those days, with their lumbering, awkward guns, to fix the bayonets in time to fight, that often the Low• land infantry were panic strickeu and fled, pell tuell 1" `•Wae'nt Grizzy frightened when she saw all those fierce men 1" "Oh no, because they loved her father ; and she know they would do no harm, She laughed to hear the bagpipes' shrill notes and the men's shouts; and swung back the window and leaned out to see. Doubtless she felt proud of' her handsome father on his grey horse, and when, that morning, not much later, he rode away, ;she waved her scarf until they were out of sight. Poor Grizzy ! only a few weeks passed before she knew that of all those gallant men, hardly a score, wounded, half starved, hunted like wolves. had crawled back to their glens; and her father overpowered, after a desperate resistence, was takeu away to prison. Ah, how many team were shod in Scotland and England during those hideous clays ! All over the country, the king's dragoons were shooting and burning. They burn- ed down tho houses, and broke the stones of the mills, and tore up all the fruit trees so teat all the coun- try about Inverary, tvhere the Eirl or Argyle lived, was a desert. They cut off the poor prisoners' ears, when they did not kill them outright, before sending them across the sea to he slaves. In I':nglri d, wicked Judge Jeffii08 coechen, ed the rebels as fast as he could pass sentence. But I dare not tell you all the wickedness that was done. Long ago, the cruel king lost his crown ani .iicd a wanderer ; long ago the cruel judge died, in prison, amid the curses of a whole nation—they were punished as tigorously as the had giants in your fairy tales, and my story is not about, them ; but about poor Grizzy Cochran, who has just heard that her father is iu the strong Edinburgh prisou con- demned to die.

But there was Lord Dundonald, her grandfather. He had not joined the insurgents. Perhaps (for the „cruel king loved money) by paying a gloat bribe they might win her father's life. Therefore, fast, fast are thundering the horso'a hoofs along the rocky road to London and Lord Dun- donald ! And faster, faster thunder the horse's hoots along the road to Edinburgh and Sir John in prison It is Grizzy's trustiest retainer rides to London with a letter that Grizzy has cried over, in his hosotn. But it is Grizzy, herself flips through the night to her father ! A kind man, who loved the Cochranes, has written a ballad about Grizzy. The ballad says -I only change the words that you will not understand — "She kissed her rather's.tangled locks, Unkempt for many a day. And she said :—'To save my father's life 1 aibline ken a way. Give me thy love that 1 fortune prove 1' Quoth Ceehrane's bonny daughter." But Sir John, while it made hint happy to see Grizzy would not be- lieve that she could help him. He told her that John Dundonald had kneeled down before the King and asked his son's life in vain. Truly encugh of this King did one of his courtiers say to a poor suppliant, while he touched the marble mantel : "This marble is not harder than the King !" Nevertheless Grizzy felt sure that if Lord Dundonald could raise the money he could bribe some of the King's council. "But dearie," said her old nurse who had come after her, bouncing her poor old bones on the gentlest horse she could find, fur you must know there was no such thing as a carriage in that part of the high- lands then. "dearie, the warrant's out." "What's a warrant 1" said Harry. His aunt explained : "A warrant is the order that the King writes to have any one put to death. Until the warrant comes the sheriff has no right to execute a prisoner." Well, Grizzy's nurse cried that they had word from a sure hand that the King had signed the tsar rant, and it would be coating by the "London -mail," reaching Ediu- burgh,the very next day. No soon- er should the warrant come than the prisoner must die ! So the poor nurse threw her apron over her gray head and wept ; for Sir John was a kind master. "[list, nurse!" said Grizzy, "hitt! there's uo time for greeting --that is the Scotch for crying—'ye maun get ale your short Ind's claithes, And mind yo let nae soul on earth ken I'1u uo in the house mourning liko to deo.' 'l'}le nurse was made to under- stand somehow what Grizzy wanted. And very soon she came out again, mounted her horse, and, all alone, rode across the long bridge of the Tweed. then get a bottle of NORTHROP & LTMAN'S VEGE- TABLE DISCOVERY, and it will give you relief. You have Dyspepsia. Ma. R. B. Dawson, of St. Mary's, writes: "Four bottles of VEasTAw)E DNs- eoven entirely cured me of Dyspepsia; mine was one of the worst cases. Inow feel like anew man." it the best medicine in the market tor Sae stomach and system generally." Mit. Gro. TOLEN, Druggist, Gravenhuret, Ont., writes : "My customers who have used Nontuaor & LYMAE'a V eozTABLRDISCOVERY say that it has done them more good than anything they ever used.* She galloped over the moor to ft clump of ta•eee, A pretty girl of 16 went into the shade of rho larches, but what do you think 1 a handsome black -haired gory came out 1 "It was only her dressed un !" said harry. Yes, it was only she, dressed up —fn the clothes of her old nurse's shun sons "She dressed herself in teddies' claithes," says tho ballad. Now site rides boldly into Bedford town, to the tavern door. Presently, as she expects the post clltttere up with the London mail.. Can't yon see poor Grizzy staring at the great leather bag that hop's her father's life ! But she didn't let any one see that she was frightened. Oh, no, she laughed and told stories and made so ninth fun at the inn supper table that the post, very full of wine by this time (for every time his cup was half empty Grizzy slyly filled it), roared out: "Deil hlaw my pipes, you're the crack o' the wall, and the best amang the hail!" in. fact,. Barry,.. they made .so merry that -it was post midnight be• fore thoy went to bed, and, then, the post saw double. He was sound asleep the instant his head touched the pillow. When the house was still, inside and outside, the cocks were crowing. Grizzy came softly through the hall. Softly she stepped to the mail car- rier's bed. She cut the side of the nag. She pulled oat the great sealed packet that she knew. Yes, it was the death warrant! But floating down the Tweed in a hon. dred wee pieces, it will not shake a hair of Sir John's head—and there's where Grizzy left it ! She did not touch the other letters, but stole away, and before morning she was safe in her old nurse's room. "That made a gain of fourteen days for mercy. Because, you see, it took fourteen days to get a mes- sage from Edinburgh to London and back again. To -day a fast train called the Flying Scotchinan makes the journey iu a night; but there were no railways in 1685." "I guess I'd rather live Dow," said Harry ; "but did Grizzy get her father off .that way, being a robber V' "Poor robbed!" said aunt Alice. "She was to have a bitter disap• pointment. There was a hitch about the money, or the King was more than usually obdurate. Six lords begged Cochrane's life ; no, he would not grant it ; Cochrane, he said must die ! Another war• rant was sent The saute secret, swift messenger brought the news. When it came sir John bowed his head. 'Heaven's will be done!' said lie." -"Amen," said Grizzy, "but my father shall nut die!" The red sun was sinking behind the sea. And the sea wind raced over the moors, wailing as if to sound her father's death bell. "But never despair 1" thought Grizzy, riding fast as her hoise could gallop, in her laddies claithes, "'Tis a kittle carte ! 'twill fright tho post main than met" Wilder and wilder grew the night. - The larch and the tall fir shrieked wi' pain, As they bent before °n the wind And down there fell the heavy rain, 1'rtl sense and eyes were blind ; "A Tang night 'tie `.e'er secs a day !' Queth Cochrane's undaunted Grizzy, Through the mire plunged the luckless poet, half out of his wits with terror, his eyes rolled in his head, and a pistol shaking in his hand. "Whata devil's night!" he mattered. Just as he passed Fen wick's Woods "from the whin hushes shot out a flame," at the which his mare reared, flinging tho heap of him backward. Before he could recover there was a hand on his throat and a cold rine of steel above his eyebrow. "I'll not take thy life," said a voice in his ear, "But give up thy London news." I -Ie gave up his bag and the war- rant glad to escape tlills easily. Doing hint no more harm than depriving hire of the" pistol, Grizzy pocketed the warrant : "And away she flew, With the spell and the strength of the wild cut low." Well, this time the poor, gentle roger did not rob in vain. The historians have it that Lord Dun- donald ransomed his sou's life for £5,000 ; but it is pleasanter to be- lieve, with the ballad maker, that, hearing of Grizzy's desperate deed, the king showed centpassion. "Love will make a foe grow kind, Love wi l bring blossom where bud is naught, Love hath softened a kingly mind ; Grizzy hath mercy to councilors taught. Her friends at court have reprieved the life Of Grizzy's heniehed father. Aunt Alice said nothing more, for liarry was looking sleepy. But he said : ''She was pretty brave, wasn't she 1 But I'm glad I didn't live in those tittles, aren't you, aunty l" "Yes," said Aunty.

EASTER MONDAY SPORTS_ On Easter Monday, in older times, the principal sport was ball. playing, and even the clergy and women iudulged in the pastime. In teeny instances it formed a part of the church service, his hops and deans taking a ball to church, and at the beginning of the anthem,. while dancing to the music, threw it to the choristers, who handed it hack and forth to one another dur- ing the singing. After 'his service, they all yeti' ed for refreshments„ which usually consisted of a dish of bacon and tansy pudding. Another Easter Monday game was running a race for a tausy cake. Just why - titeso singular sports should have been considered ap- propriate to the E•teter festi'ities- the wise ones tail to tell us. The playing at hall or running ek. race for a tansy cake might—vertu likely did—hove its foundation lil- a desire to keep alive the memory of the bitter herbs at the paschal feast, though some ul,l writers ignore any spiritual moaning, and ono speake of tansy cakes iu this we : "In the spring time they are , made with the letves hereof newly sprung up, and with eggs, cakes or tansies, which be pleasaut iu taste and good for the stomacka ; for if any bad humors cleave thereunto, it, doth perfectly concoct them, anti scowre them downwards." —A death under peculiarly sad; circumstances occurred atVirden on Monday last.
