A Lockport speoial says that the re- mains of J. K. Bass, the ossified man of the museums were placed in a burglar- proof vault that his friends had built at Glenwood Cemetery. All requests cf physicians to be allowed to make an autop- sy of the body have been refused. The will of the ossified man disposes of 080,- 000, mostly to nephews and nieces. John Murray, the head of the British Publishing House, has made an appeal to the public for funds to purchase the tomb outside the Damascus gate at Jerusalem, which is believed by many experts to be the actual tomb of our Saviour. The in- tention is to preserve the tomb from de- secration and to maintain a garden around . the sacred spot. The amount required is £6,000. A correspondent in Russia says that human sacrifices are still offered by some of the pagan tribes nomially under Russian rule, and he describes the horrors of the annual sacrifice to the god of their tribe by the Tairs of the Malmurck district as recently seen by him. A peasant was hanged by his feet to a tree and his bead hetif severed from his body. The breast was then cut open and the heart plucked out, with which the face of the god was rubbed. ° Whatever respect or disrespect Sir John Thompson may have for Dalton McCarthy's views on certain political and religious matters it would be seen from what has recently •"transpired," as he would say himself, that he has the best possible opinion of him as a lawyer. This is to be gathered from the fact that Sir John's eldest son, who recently graduated very credi- tably in England, has gone into the office of McCarthy, Osier, Hoskin & Creelma,n as a student. He is a bright young -man, and will no doubt do cre- dit to the profession which be has chosen. • BE PATIENT WITH THE LIVIN G SySeet riend, when thou and I art gone Beyond Earth's weary labour, When small shall be our need of grace From comrade or from neighbour; Passed all the strife, the toil, the care, And done with all the sighing— What tender truth shall we have gained, Alas! by simply dying? Then lips too chary of the praise Will tell our merits over, And eyes too swift our faults too see Shall no defect discover; Then hands that would not lift a stone When stones were thick to cumber Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers AbofOlinf pilIeciiIuniiir. - - Sweet friend, perchance both you and I, Ere love is past forgiving Should take the earnest lesson home— Be patient with the living! a`o-day's repressed rebuke may save Our blinding tears to -morrow; Then, patience, e'en when keenest edge. May whet a nameless sorrow. 'Tis easy to be gentle when Death silence shames our clamour, And easy to discern the best Through memory's mystic glamour; But wise it were for thee and me, Ere love is past forgiving, To take the tender lesson home— Be patient with the living. • A DISTINOVISHED AUTHOR, WHO IS HJ? • We will now resuine our talk, taking it up just where we left it, for our friend lute said so much that is good on the subject of books, and the propeg reading of them, that we cannot re- frain from telling you some more of his thoughts as a continuation of our cortvereation in last week's issue, and we have no fear of your showing any signs of weariness, because our confi- dence in the ability of our friend to entertain and instruct has never yet been shaken. In our first selection he makes some pungent comparisons concerning our expenditure in books. "What do we, as 'a nation, care about books? How much do you think we spend altogeth- er on our libraries, public or private, as compared with what we spend on our horses? If a man spends lavishly on his library von call- him mad— a biblio -maniac. but you never call any one a horse -maniac, though men ruin themselves every day by their horses, and you do not hear of people ruining themselves by their books What position would our expenditure on literature take, as compared wit our expenditure on luxurious eating? We ta k of food for the mind, as of food for the body; now a good book contains such food inexhaustibly; it is a provision for life, and for the best part of us; yet how long most people would look at the best book before they would give the price of a large turbot for it! Though there have been men who have pinched their stomachs and bared their backs to buy a book, whose libraries were cheaper to them, I think, in the end, than most men's dinners are. We are few of us put to such trial, and more the pity; tor,in- deed, a precious thing is all the more precious to us if it has been won by work or economy; and if public libra- ries were half as costly as public din- ners, or books cost the tenth part of what bracelets do, even foolish men and women might sometimes suspect there was good in reading, as well as in munching or sparkling; whereas the very cheapness of literature is making even wise people forget that if a book is worth reading it is worth buying." These sentences are suggestive, and will cause ycu to reflect upon this sub- ject in a more serious manner than you have perhaps hitherto done, and you may possibly be induced to find fault with yourself in this respect, and to make a—few—comparisons of—your- - own. rnir. .CLIAtto-N, NSW. EMIL. - languages, and talk them tU, and yet Only not kuow a word of any—not a, word of his own." Yciu will regard the preceding selec- tion as a vet y expressive one, and a strong one,and so it is, but he is a, can- tioue thinker, and an earnest one, and if he :helleves he has discovered some truth, he spares neither beauty nor force of language in giving expression to it. You will observe this through all his conversation, and in the follow- ing, with which we close for the pres- ent.. It deals with the matter of pri- vate opinion, and may perhaps startle you. "Nay, most probably all your life.(unless, as I said, you are a singu- lar person) you will have no legitimate right to an opinion on any business, except that instantlyunder your hand. What tnust of -necessity be 'done, you can always find out, beyond question, how to do. Have srou a house to keep in order, a commodity to sell, a field to plough, a ditch to clense ? There need be no two opinions about these proceedings; it is at your peril if you have not much more than an 'opinion' on the way to manage such matters. And also, outside of your own busi- ness, there are one or two subjects on which you are bound to have but one b opinion. That roguery are objection- ' able, andare instantly to be flogged out of the way whenever discovered; that covetousness and love of quarrel- ling are dangerous dispositions even in children, and deadly dispositions in men and nations; that in the end, the God of heaven and earth loves active, modest and kind people, and hates idle, proud, greedy and cruel ones; on these general facts you are bound to have but one, and that a very strong, opin- ion. For the rest, respecting religions, governments, sciences, arts, you will find that on the whole, you can know nothing—judge nothing; that the best you can do, even though you may be a well-educated person, is to be -silent, and strive to be wiser every day, and to understand a little more of the thoughts of others, which so soon as you try to do honestly, you will dis- cover that the thoughts even of the wisest, are very little more than per- tinent questions." We will have more good things to tell you again, in the meantime, how- ever, if we Mistake not, you will be thinking about our friend, and discus- sing his thoughts. At another time he draws a beauti- ful but sorrowful picture of the foolish and thoughtless neglect of good bo oks. "There is a curious type of us given in one of the lovely, neglected works of the last of our great painters. It is a drawing of Kirby, Lonsdale church- yard, and of its brook, and valley, and hills, and folded morning sky beyond. And unmindful alike of these, and of the dead who have left these for other valleys and other skies, a group of school boys have piled their little books upon a grave, to strike them off with stones. So, also, we play with the words of the dead that would teach us, and strike them far from us with our bitter, reckless will; little thinking that those leaves which the wind scat- ters had been piled, not only upon a gravestone, but upon the seal of an enchanted vault—nay, the gate of a great city of sleeping kings.who would awake for us, and walls „with us, if we knew but how to call them by their names. How often, even if we lift the marble entrance gate, do we but wan- der among those old kings in their re- pose, and finger the robes they lie in, and stir the crowns on their foreheads; and still they are silent to us, and seem but a dusty imagery; because we know not the incantation of the heart that would waken them, which, if they once heard they would start up to meet us in their power of long ago, narrowly to look upon us, and consider; and, as the fallen kings of Hades meet the newly fallen, saying, 'Art thou also become weak as we—art thou also be- come one of us'?' so would these beings, with their undimmed, MIS -hake -a dia- dems, meet us, saying, 'Art thou also become mighty of heart as we? Art thou also become one of us'' Hear now what he has said about the way in which a book should be read-. - "No 'book 'is' 'worth k,nything" which is not worth much; nor is it ser- viceable, until it has been read, and re- read, and loved and loved again; and marked, so that you can refer to the passage you want in it, as a soldier can seize the weapon he needs in an armory, or a housewife bring the spice she needs from her store. Bread of flour is good; but there is bread, sweet as honey, if we would eat it, in a good book." We have not time to tell you one half the good ideas he has expressed on this subject, but we make one more selection, and when you come to know im you may learn them directly from im. which will be a much greater leasure than getting them in this se- cond-hand manner. When you come to a good book, yourmust ask yourself, 'Am 1 inclined to work as an Australian miner would? Are my pickaxes and shovels in good order, and am I in good trim myself, my sleeves well up to the elbow, and my breath good, and my temperP' And, keeping the figure a little longer, . . . the metal you are in search of being the author's mind or meaning, his words are as the rock which you have to crush and smelt in order to get at it,. And your pickaxes are your own care, wit and earning; yoursmelting-furnace is your own thoughtful soul. Do not hope to get at any good author's meaning without those tools and that fire; often you will need sharpest, finest chiselling, and patientest fusing, before you can gather one grain of the metal. And, therefore, first of all. I tell you, ear- nestly and authoritatively, (I know I am right in this) you must get into the habit of looking intensely at words, and assuring yourself of their mean- ing, syllable by syllable—nay, letter by letter, . . . you might read all the books in the British Museum (if you could live long enough) and re- main an utterly `illiterate' uneducated person; but if you read ten pages of a good book, letter by letter—that is to say, with real accuracy—you are for evermore in some measure an edu- cated person, The entire difference between education and non -education (as regards the merely intellectual part of it) consists in this aecuracy. A well-educated gentleman may not now many languages—may not be able to speak any but his own— may have read very few books.

Who ever heard before of a civilized oommunity that could circumvent the milkman? In Rio, during theearly morn- ing hours you will see many cows passing through the streets. Each one is orna- mented by a rope and a man on the front end, and by a muzzled calf attached to her caudal appendage. If you are a regular customer this caravan stops in front of your door, You pass out a vessel, and the cow is milked while you wait. The pump is not an important factor in the milk busi- ness of Rio. MARVELS IN MINIATURE. In a museum of curiosities at Salem, Mass., there is preserved a common cherry seed or stone, hollowed and fashioned like a basket. Within the basket are twelve tiny silver spoons, the shape and finish of which cannot be distinguished with the naked eye. Dr Peter Oliver, who lived in England during the early part of the eighteenth century, tells of seeing a carved cherry stone which would be a wonder even in this age of fine tools and fine work- manship. 'The stone was one frbm a common 'cherry, and upon it were carved the heads of 124 popes, kings, queens, emperors, saints, etc. Small as they must necessarily, have been, it is announced, on the authority. of Prof. Oliver, that with a good glass the heads of the popes and kings could readily be distinguished from those of the queens and Saints, by their mitres and crowns. The gentleman who brought this little Wonder to England purchased it in Prtissia, allowing the Original owner ,P..5 000 for his treasure. Think of it, I P.D r MONTHLY PRIZES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. The "Sunlight" Soap Co, Toronto, offer the following prizes every month till fur- ther notice, to boys and girls under 16, residing in the Province of Ontario, who send the greatest number of "Sunlight" wrappers: 1st, $10; 2nd, $7; 3rd, $3; 4th, 51; 5th to 14th, a Handsome Book; and a pretty picture to those who send not less than 12 wrappers. Send wrappers; to "Sunlight" Soap Office, 43 Scott St., Toronto, not later than the 291h of each month, and marked "Competition;" also give full name, ad• dress, age and number of wrappers. Win- ner's name will be published in the Toronto Mail, on first Saturday of each month. Road Making. Mr Geo, E. Casey, M. P. for West Elgin, has a good letter in the St. Thomas Journal on the subject of country roads. We give his conclusions:—In the first place there are certain principles of road-making,on which, with proper advice, the municipal authori- ties should establish certain standards— such a. standard for main highways', such for side lines and concessions. Let the roads be made uniformly on these principles, not all finished at once, but all on the dame plan as far as the money goes. "Commute" all statute labor as at present assessed on an uniform cash basis, adding what is now spent in grants. Let those who would rather work than pay cash hire their teams or them- selves to the township and get some ready money in a slack season of the year. The pathmaster should make and mend like the section boss of a railway, guided by an uniform system of instructions and not by his own whim. He calls attention to the following among other advantages:—Roads would be so built that each year's work would bring them nearer to the standard. -established, 'Whereasdwit often makes , them worse. They would be practically permanent when completed. When a road is once well made it takes a great deal of road -making to unmake it. Sometimes the roads badly need mending at seasons when it.is-norcodvenientltiClcitead work. Under this plan they could be attended to without troubling the farmers. All this would in- volve no new cost unless, after trial, it was decided to incur it. CONFIRMED. The favorble impression produced on the first appearance of the agreeable liquid fruit remedy Syrup of Figs a few years ago has been more than, confirmed by the pleasant experience of all who have used it, and the success of the proprietors and man- ufacturers the California Fig Syrup Com- pany. A cheese weighing 22,000 pounds has been manufactured at Perth, Ont., for exhibition at the World's Fair in Chi- cago. The Toronto Weekly Empire has pro- duced a premium for its new subscribers this autumn which really calls for special compliment. The proprietors of that paper have prepared a handsome pitcure of the Conservative members of Parliament, well arranged, executed in the finest type of photogravure, and printed on excellent paper for framing. No preminm given away with newspapers this year equals it. The whole picture is large, and when set off by the tasteful oak frame, which is so fash- ionable nowaday, will make a very hand- some adornment to the home. In the centre are the member Ef of the Cabinet, while grouped around them are their sup- porters in the House. The pictures of Ca- binet Ministers are large in size, and every one is an excellent likeness. In the centre the photo of the Premier is by far the best Sir John Abbott has even had, while that of Sir John Thompson, the famous leader of the House of Commons, who is repreeent- ed standing with his hands resting upon the table, an attitude he often assumes while addressing the House, is literally a speaking likeness. The photos of the in- dividual members are capital : they are not small and unrecognizable, requiring a microscope for indentification, but the Conservatives of every county returning a a Conservative will, in this group, possess an excellent likeness of their member. As a work of art this group picture takes high rank; as an acceptable addition to the Con- servative houses of theland it will be pretty sure to circulate from Vancouver to Flalifax. The picture, to give an exact idea of its im- portance, measures 3 feet 6 inches by 2 feet 4 inches. On the margin is a.convenient key, giving the names of every member oar- teeporoling to the !numbers on the photorabh - 1.• Among the Poutioians. lanes WITH A 518A2VRB OFrutjns 15THE5I. (Toronto Telegram.) Wilfred Laurier, Oppositiou leader, and James Colebrook Patterson, Secretary of State, agreed on bobalf of their respective parties to oalLa truce in the war of eleotion protests and effect a general saw -off. Lau- rier agreed to this in order to save some of hie Quebec friends, The arrangement has worked so far, but the first hitch occurred in South Perth Jim Sutherland, the Lib- eral whip, had to do groat missionary work in that constituency in order to make good his leader's bargain. The COnservatives agreed to reimburse the Local Grits for the $600 they had spent in working up the PPM,J1r Sutherland was diplomatic and by working on the looal leaders for a day or two before the meeting he brought them into a gentler frame of mind. The case was fixed up for withdrawal before James Trow arrived upcn the scene. He had set his heart upon unseating Pridham and winning back the seat himself. When he reached the meeting the question was dis- cussed and he coneented, but very reluct- antly, to the withdrawal of the petition. The disappointment aggravated his weak- ness and may have had something to do with his death. SPOIIN WILL FIGHT IT OUT. But in East Siincoe there is more mis- sionary work for the Opposition whip. The petition against the return of W. H. Ben- nett involves a demand for a scrutiny and a claim for the seat. It is being pushed by DriSpohn, of Penetanguiehene, who was ant ated and beaten. He is thirsting for satisfaction, and, it is understood, deolared that the promise of no leader %ill stand be- tween him and the revenge which he is en- titled to get out of his looal enemies. The petition in that constituency will be fougbt to a finieh unless some influence is devel- oped powerful enough to turn Dr Spohn from his purpose. CAMERON "19 OUT FOR GORE. And in West Huron there is more diffi- culty in carrying out the bargain. Malcolm Colin Cameron could not get a saw -off when he wanted one before he was unseated, and now his friends are in no mood to withdraw a petition to help anybody else. There is a story to the effect that J. C. Patterson has promised that if the petition is not pressed against him, he will never run in West Huron again. A promise like this, even if given, is hard to enforce. Cameron is bit- ter and he is rich. He blames the Tories for buying up the constituency from him and then trying to disgrace both him and his fstnily. He is said to ho inJ10 raood to withdraw the petition. He has had some slight satisfaction in the courts, and now the Toronto partisans say his only course is to push the petition to unseat Patterson and beat him in the bye election. 'TWAS A NARROW ESCAPE. An increase of $500 in the sesssional in- demnity was not only on the cards but we s almost played to the winning point at Ot- tawa last session. The Conservative mem- bers were unanimously hungering and thirsting for an addition to their unearned increment. The Quebec Grits were crazy for a haul and the game was spoiled by Wm Mulock, Jim McMullen of North Welling- ton, Sir Richard Cartwright and others. The question was fought out in the Oppo- sition caucus. but Jim Somerville and the other Ontario men kicked vigorously and declared that no matter what the caucus did they would divide the House upon any proposal to add a cent to the sessional in- dernnity. Even then the Conservatives were anxious to vote it through. So were tb.c..Quebec_Grits,- but. Sir-John-Thorapeoti wouid not allow the Government to be a conaenting party to anything out a unani- mous increase in the indemnity. The mo- ney was kept in the treasury and oat of the pockets of the statesmen, but poor Wilfred Laurier was blackguarded up hill and down dale by his Quebec followers. CANA_DIAN FUTURE FOR EDWARD. A sight of Edvsard Blake doing King istreet, the north side, in a white hat that a ] irea man would consider dear at seventy- five cents, started the talk. The two ends of the conversation were occupied (1) by a reporter and (2) by a Grit who knows the ropes. "Do you think Edward Blake is in Im- perial politics for good and all?" --"1 suppose so" was the an-gitver:- -- "Well, he is not so" replied the Grit,"you will see him leading a Canadian party be- fore many years. He will likely bear a share, and not an insignificant, share in the bringing about of Home Rule. His success in the Imperial arena will help him -when he returns here. The Grits will forgive him to their heart a again and no Govern- ment in Canada can stand agairst an Op- position led by Dominic Edward Blake." FOOLED THE OLD WAR HORSE. Those nearest to the late James Trow in his unsuccessful oompaign in South Perth know how badly he was victimized by a be. lief that the iConservatives liked him well enough to refrain from a serious effort to oust him and get into his seat. The old man's delusion was complete. It oould not be shaken. "They do not want to beat me," he would say, and then would call the roll of the Con- servatives who were pretending to be against him, but were in reality for him. Time after time the old whip was warned that he was in danger. He was urged to exert himself, but not an exertion would he make. "These fellows" he would say, speaking about the active partisans who warned him "know what they are about. They want me to throw my money around. They have never seen my money yet and they will never see it." It was in a paradise of hope built up by his own belief that politics was sport and not war that James Trow lived until he was cruelied by his first defeat in the constitu- ency of South Perth. The Canada Presbyterian lands a knock- out blow on the noses of those irreverent critics, who are always sneering that when a minister accepts a call from Heaven to a new congregation it is always accompan- ied by a higher salary, when it states that Rev Dr. Kellogg, of St. James Square congregation, Toronto, has resigned a sal ary of $4,500 a year to accept $1,600 it year to go out to India to translate the Scriptures and do missionary work. 10 In advance will e 0 NEW ERA for pay for the a year.
