He was one of the old settlers of that section. The accountant who has been ex- amining into the accounts of ex -Trea- surer Wright, of Essex, has found that instead of owing the county $24, - WO as was supposed, the county is in- debted to Mr Wright, but to what ex- tent is not yet known. For the first time in half a century the State of New York is practically free from debt. There are still some outstanding obligations of the State, but there are sufficient funds on hand to meet them at their maturity. Comp- • troller Campbell states that for the past ten years the State debt has been • paid at the rate of $1,000,000 a year. "The State owes its good fortune in ob- taining its financial independence large- ly to the increased revenue from the inheritance tax, now amouusng to $1,- 7 ,218.47, and from the tax on corpor- ations, amounting to $1,696,960.99. Simple figures do not give one any idea of the speed at which a bicycle -must go in order to attain record re- .sult. .A quarter of a mile in 27 seconds means only an inch or two less than 49 feet a second. To do this the ped- als must revolve three times a second. "This gives some idea of what record breaking is. Of the capital invested in bicycle -making machinery it is easy, to give absolutely definite figures: All the American manufacturers combin- ed have $12,000,000 invested in plants and stock, and this amount increases .at the rate of about $2,000,000 a year by the improv-einent-raf-old-factoriea :and erection of new ones, Three mil- lion dollars more is to he added to this for investments in bicycle club houses .a,nd race tracks, making, with the .900,000 invested in wheels, a total of $52,590,000 invested in this country in , bicycles and the bicycle interest. And this is a low estimate, The sale of Canadiau horses in New York on Tuesday realized good prices. The best price of the day was /;3,000 paid bv Mr .13e1mont for the beautiful bay mare Cana- dian Belle, by Ryshawk. Mr Belmont also ?oottght a four-in-hand team for $7,350. In laiming that New York is •a first-class market for Canadian horses the New York aleraid says : This truth was clearly shown at the sale of Canadian horses yesterday, yhen a large collection of saddle and driv- ing animals brought really extraordinary prices. Three years ago the Canadian dealers hesitated about shipping good horses here for auction sale, but the inevitable metropolitan influence has done its work. The same dealers now send the best animals they eau secure, and the results are sales remarkable for the large average prices obtained. New York wants the best of everything, end will pay the longest figures for thelest, but it is not a good market for inferiority." A FAIR CONSERVATIVE EDITOR The following from the Berlin News, -Os far back as July 6, shows that the fact that Mr Cameron had used every possible legal effort to reach the scoun- d.rel who had made a victim of Ellen Lomas was known to the Conservative ptess outside of Croderich "The editor of this paper has been favored with a long personal letter f rom Mr M. C. Cameron, of Goderich. Strange to say there is not in it a threat of a libel suit, but a full and candid ex- planation why he did not proceed against the man Gore, his late garden- er.

One to fill his place in the Local Legislature and one to find him a seat in the Dominion Parliament. London Conservatives are preparing for what- ever may happen, and Mr Meredith and Sol White, the annexationist,were hobnobbing there on Saturday, and laying the pipes for a probable election. Sol is as much a Conservative as ever he was. At the Assize Court in London two young men got ten years each, one five years, and one three years in the Peni- tentiary, for assaulting a young girl. In sentencing the prisoners His Lord- ship said the crime of interfering with women could not be lightly treated. Men, young or old, must control their passions, and if no other way existed they must be placed where they will have time to strength their controlling power. Punishment was not inflicted tor revenge, brA for tie purpose of putting downucrime and reforming the criminal. Punishment is for pro- tection. The Maritime ProvincesPresbyterian Synod discussed On Saturday tne exo- dus from these Provinces. Rev.T.Sedg- wick, brother of the Dominion Deputy Minister of Justice, said the lamentable facts revealed by the last census spoke for themselves, but the continued emi- gration was greatly to be regretted. iie declar ed that from many sections a general decrease in the population was reported, and those who were going away were in a large part the very flower of the country. He asked if thrs' was- not true, ancl-from cailferen parts of ihe hall came the answer, 'yes'. Continuing, the speaker said he did not want the synod to mix up in polit'cs, but thought they might consider if the matter could not in some way be brought before the Government to see if somei hi ng could not be done to check the emigration of our people. The Government was responsible for the state of affairs, and should, therefore consider the remedy. Does the shoe begin to pinch? THE GREAT SIZE OF LONDON' After all, however the greatest pe- culiarity of London, that which most distinguishes it from all other towns, is its overwhelming size. It contains many open spaces, parks, and even metropolitan commons, which are fast becoming parks in fact, but now vir- tually no un -built ground; and beyond the London of the County Council. and the census, on many sides we are still in town. The borough of West Ham, in itself an enormous town,- returning two members to Parliament, and un- der -represented with its two, the bor- ough of Croydon, the district of Chis- wick, and many others, are distinguiSliz- able from London, although outside London. Without them, London proper is so vast as to make the cros- sing of it on the outside of an omnibus from Chiswick through Ham mersmtile and Kensington, and Knightsbridge, and Piccadilly, the Strand, Fleet Street, Ludgate Hiil, Cheaps:de, Cornhill, Leadenhall Street, Aligate, White- chapel High Street, and the Mile End Road, or Commercial Road East, one of the great sights of the-eStieldreepes cially when we remember that London from north to south is as wide as from east to west it is long. London is a labyrinth and a beehive, both on an enormous scale, and the manner in which London contrives to feed itself, to live and row constitutes the chief bed, made a sworn statement that Gore 'was the author of her ruin, and entire- ly- exonerated Mr Cameron. Now he admits that as the girl's guardian he leas in duty bound to bring the crimi- nal to justice, but the following diffi- culties stood in the way. Under the Charlton act no man could be convicted of the offence unless the girl was under :sixteen years of age, and as she was learn in England,with no record of her birth available,this could not be proved; then to succeed it was necessary to prove the girl's previous chastity, and this only could be done by the testi- mony of the girl, who, unfortunately for the ends of justice, was dead. The legal adviser of the Stratford Home was consulted, and advised "that no criminal prosecution could be main- tained." The matter was, therefore, dropped because the law and not the desire to prosecute intervened. These are the points in Mr Cameron's letter, and we must say appear to be a very fair statement of the case. He adds, however, that the prosecution he has started will end in showing who the offender really is, and that he has evi- dence which will satisfy even a Tory editor that a vile conspirecy has been concocted against him. We give these facts because we always like to deal fairly with everyone, even political op- ponents. As we stated in the previous article, we took no stock in the matter till the terrible article came out in the World, and then we felt that there were so many ugly features connected with it that the real offender sbould be brought to justice. We might further add that Mr Cameron has now the cer- tificate of the birth of the Lomas girl, who was 16 when she died." Robt Scott.

The pictorial supple- ment, which is larger than that of last year, is a reproduction of a picture owned by the proprietors of SATTJRDAY NIGHT entitled "Her Bright Smile Haunts Me Still." It is exceedingly lovely and no one can pass it without turning to look again at the beautiful face and the look of farewell. The stories this year are as follows: "Tom's Little Sister," by John Habber- ton, author of Helen's Babies. "The Nephew of His Uncle," by Octave Thanet, author of Expiation. (The most popular magazine writer in America.) "The Rich Relation," by George Par- sons Lathrop. (There is no more attrac- tive name in American magazines.) "Kate Gordon's Christmas Miracle," by Jul Ian Hawthorne. "Little Lady," by Ida Burwaeh, proba- bly the prettiest story in the book. "Senor the Enginear," by Edmund E. Sheppard. All these stories are magnificnetly and copiously illustrated by the best artists in New York and London. Mr Sheppard's story is being specially illustrated by Mr F. A. Feraud, of New York, from photo- graphs and studies made by the author while in Mexico, and, artistically at least, this will be one of the most prettily illu- strated tales that has ever appeared in America. It can be well understood that the well known names in the above list cost a great deal of money to procure for a Christmas magazine, but Christmas is the one time when TOnoNTo SATunDAT MORT advertises itself and in its Christmas Number it does it well. The Newsdealer, Publisher and Stationer's Bulletin, the Canadian correspondent of which has seen advance Copies of all that is promised by SATURDAy NIGUT this year, says that "It will doubtless be the most beautiful publi- cation ever attampted in America arid compares:more than favorably withFigaro and the most expensive Old Country Christmas numbers." It is something for Canadians to boast of, for while much of the work requiring the greatest possible artistic skill has to be done abroad, the en- terprise is prirely Canadian and will re- donato tho credit Of Canada, TIA?dit.TON, IVIRrOh 21st, 11322.

IT MAY BE INTERESTING TO KNOW That when excursion rates are made to Chicago for people who live in the East, to enable them to attend the World's Fair ne:.t year, it is contemplated by the West- ern roads to also make excursion rates from Chicago to all principal business and tour- ist points in the West, Northwest and Southwest, so that those who desire to spend a few weeks among their Zriends in the-Grea-t- West-, may -have -an opportunity of so doing without incnrcing much addi- tional expense. It may be well to consider this subject in advance of actual time of starting, and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Co. has issued maps and time tables and other instructive reading matter, which it will be glad to furnish free of expense upon apelication by postal card addressed to A.

"I have seen a great many men kill- ed," said Burke McMahon. "I was with old Pap Thomas at Chickamauga when his corps stood like a rock for the flower of the c onfederacy to beat and break upon, and with Grant when he hurled his columns at the impregnable heights of Vicksburg.. I have seen commanding officers torn to pieces with a shell, and beardless boys dead on the battlefield with their mother's picture pressed to their cold lips, but I never had ans thing affect me like the degth of a couple of young railroad men in Texas, seven or eight years ago. I was riding on the engine of a fast passenger train, and at Wago the en- gineer got or ders to look out for a brakeman who was missing from the freight we were following. He was supposed to have fallen between the cars of his train. 'My brother is brake- man on that train; I wonder if it can be him?' said the fireman. 'I'll keep up steam while you stand on the pilot and watch out,.replied the engineer. The fireman took his pDst in front and we pulled out. We had just gotten well under way when the fireman gave the signal ,to stop. The engineer ap- plied the air brakes. They failed to respond, and we were on a down grade, and could not stop. The missing brake- man was lyingon the track badly man- gled -but -conscious. He raisedshisband and fiantically signalled the train, but the great iron machine went plunging down upon him at a rate of twenty miles an hour. The fireman cast one despairing look at the engineer, then sprang in front of the pilot and hurled his wounded brother off the track. But he was not quick enough to save him- self. The engine caught him and crushed both legs off at the hips. As we picked him up he said with a quiet smile: 'It's no use, boys; I'm done for. But I saved Ned.' We laid them down in the baggage car side by side. Ned put out a feeble hand and clasped that of his brother. 'I've got my time, old fellow,' he said. 'Here, too, Ned; we'll make the run to the next world to- gether,' was the response, and holding each other by the hand they died with- out another word.—St. Louis Globe - Democrat. Barristers, .
