Ammo:ism Boanewhat similar story is told of La Ifotte, a /Frenchman, to whom Vol• - taire read a tragedy, in five acts. "Your tragedy is excellent," said La • Motte, "except that you have allowed yourself to borrow from the second. scene in the fourth act, and, to prove • it. I shall recite this same acme, which • pleasedme so, much when I first heard it that I committed it to memory." And thereupon he repeated, word for word. the whole scene. Voltaire and the company present were astonished, after La Motte had enjoyed himself awhile atitheir expense he said: • "Make yourself easy, sir ; the scene is your own. But while)youwere read- ing it, it struck me as so beautiful that could not resist the pleasure of com flatting it to memory." Cardinal Mezzofrnti used his wonder- ful .memory in mastering languages, and was so successful that he could • speak fifty-two, with hardly any trace olforei gn accent. Professor Porsen,of Oxford,the great Greek ' 'scholar, had an astonishing memory, even in his youth. When he was a boy at school another boy bor- rowed his copy of Horace, and, when about to return it, he dexterously sub- stituted an Ovid in its stead. When the master called upon young Porson to read and construct from Horace, he walked up to the desk and began to rattle off the text and translation until the master, stopping him, said: "Why, Porson, you seem to be read- ing from one side of the page and I from the other. Let me see your • b6ok." To his astonishment he found it was Ovid. Not in the least disconcerted, Porson went on to the end. • t another time, upon a visit to a gen aan's house, he treated the guests to a translation, without book, of an Italian tale he had just read, and —althOtigir the WaaaTe rib &eThiii&iist in the book, he mentioned every one of them. A WHOLE NEWSPAPER COMMITTED. George Frederick Cooke, theltrage- • dian, committed to memory. the whole • contents of a newspaper in eight hours. But his feat was eclipsed by that of a man who Waited on a Dutch minister of state to display his memory. As a proof he, took up a newspaper which happened to be lying on the table, and, after reading it through, repeated its entire contents. If the persons peesent were astonish- ed at this remarkable feat, what was their amazement when he repeated the whole thing backward! The Emperor Claudius is said to have retained in his memory all of Homer, Sallust, Demosthenes and Aristotle's metaphysics. Tully and Seneca never • forget anything, Cyrus is said to have known all the names of all his soldiers; and Mithridates, who ruled over twen- ty-two kingdoms and tribes, could ad- dress them all in their own _language without an interpreter. Coming down to more recent times, Joseph Scaliger said he learned Hornet in ten daya paid all, the Greek poets in friur m6nths ; and Lord Grenville knew the Greek Testament'from the begin- ning of Mathew to the end. of Revela- tion. Lord Maculay is said to have had a prodigious memory, and certainly any one who reads his "History of Eng- land" will be convinced of that fact; for such a wealth of illustration,drawn - from the most diversified and abun- dant stores of informatien concerning, both ancient and modern , times, has never been surpassed, and could have been commanded onlar by the most wonderfully -capacious memory. ,At the present day 'we have Mr Blaine, the Secretary of State,who has the reputation of never forgetting the man or the name of the man once in- troduced to him ; and many of our liv- ing statesman have cul tivated this fac- ulty in a similar way. Some years ago there was a post- master at Albany,fie. Y., who new the names and residences of 36,000 persons living in that city. One of the most cuirous instances of memory was possessed by a servant at Delmonico's restaurant:in New York city. This man would take 100 or 200 hats"from different men in the course cf an evening, and upon their corning out of the dining 'room would hand each his own hat. He was never known to make a mistake. a- Mr Wilson, Conservative, was elected Lennox County on Thursday by 31 ajority. and Mr Miller, Conservative, assre-elected in Prince County by 210 ajority. Lennox is a. loss to the Jiberals. By looking at the quotations of the Vir- 'ilia tobacco markets it will be found that the highest price paid for "fillers"—which the tobacco which forms the body of the Plug—very closely corresponds with the in. voiced price of tobacco leaf 'imported into Oritario. As over four-fifths of all the leaf imported into the Province is for "Myrtle Navy" stock, this fact is official proof of the claim that the "Myrtle Avg" is made 'of the finest Virginia leaf. 4.

No God I Who lights the morning sun, And sends him on his heavenly road, A farAnd brilliant Course to run? Who, when the radiant day is done, Hangs forth the moon's nocturnal lamp, And bids the planets one by one Steal o'er the night -vales, dark wad damp? No God?—Who gives the evening dew, The fanning breeze, the fostaringishower? Who warms the spring morn's budding bougb, And paints thessumnaer's noontideflower? Who spreads in the autumnal bower The fruit -trees' mellow stores around: And sends the winter's ioy power To invigorate the exhausted ground? No God!—Who warms the heart to heave With thousand feelings soft and sweet, And prompts the aspiring soul to leave The earth we tread beneath our feet, And soar away on pinions fleet, Beyond the scenes of mortal strife, With fair ethereal forms to meet, That tell us of an after life? No God!—Who fixed the solid ground On pillars strong, that alter not? Who spread the curtained skies around, Who doth the ocean bounds allot? Who all things to perfection brought, On earth below, in heayen above? Go, ask the fool of impious thought, That dares to say, "There is no God 1" CONSUMPTION CURED. - An -old -physician-retired- from practice; having had placed in his hands by an East India missionary the formula of a :simple vegetable remedy for the speedy and per- manent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma and all throat and Lung Affections, also a positive and radical our for Nervous Debility and all Nervous Com- plaints after having tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to hie suf- fering fellows.

THE LESSON FROM LINCOLN. Lincoln county, the home of thousands of descendents of U. E. Loyalists, the cen- ter of the great fruit growing region, favors trade freedom and that by a decided ma- jority of the intelligent electorate. The political transitions which the county has gone through are remarkable. At Confederation, the Conservative can- didate was elected by acclamation. Two years afterwards, a Conservative was elected by 600 majority. Three years later, the Conservative nominee had 543 majority. In 1874, a Liberal won by a small ma- jority, but was unseated and re.eleoted in a bye -election. In 1878 Bykert carried the constituency by 96. Then came the gerrymander to offset growing Liberal strength. Rykert carried the constituency etraight along by virtue of this deal, and in 1887 had a majority of 495. In 1891 Mr Gibson captured the county on the great trade imam, his majority being 48. On Thursday he was re-elected by a ma- jority of 288. If persistently advocated, even a gerry- mander cannot prevent the triumph of a great principle, the carrying out of which would benefit the people. ^ For the restoration of faded and gray hair to its orginal color and freshness, Ayer's Hair Vigor remains unrivaled.

WANTED TO SHOW TITLE. It was in the old Catholic Church i Buffalo. In the midst of the service little old Irishman, who was in the en joyment of a fortune he had worke hard to get and who was the lessee o the second pew from the front, enter ed. He walked impressively down th centre aisle, as becomes a man of ind pendentrneans. Several strange ladle were occupying his pew. There wa roorn for him, but, that wasn't enough He placed one hand on the back of th front pew and with the wave of th other said in a voice loud enough to b heard all over the church: "Come out ov that now." Very much surprised and confused the ladies obeyed, and they were tree ed to another sensation by the lesse saying: "Now in wid yez again and mak yerselves ter hnm. Oi only wanted ye ter know as who owned the pew." He was as polite as they make them, and he accompanied his command with such a sweeping gesture and winning smile that the ladies complied and the interrupted priest resumed.
