A PATRIOTIC
ADDRESS.
Following its a verbatim report of
Sir Oliver Mowat's reply at Wood-
stock to the address presented to
him by the county council of
Orford on Friday evening :
Mr. Warden and gentlemen of
the County council : thank sou
very heartily for your extremely
kind address. I should be cold-
hearted indeed and ungrateful if I
did not receive with pride such an
address as you have read to me. I
should ho'Ve been glad to re estiiseameits
an address in any pert Of the province,
but it comes to me with especially
grateful feelings in the county of
Oxford and from my owu consti-
tuent, whom I have represented so
long; and 1—appreciate it all the
mon when I learn from it that it
is the address, not merely of my
political friend's, bat of Conserve
Eves and Rqfotmars equally. I have
given the larger part of the best
years of my life- to the pablic ser-
vice, and it is pleasant to think that
I may have beeu of some use to my
native province, that I have been
able to do eotne good work, and
that Conservatives give me. some
credit for this, though I dare say
they think and they say, if only
their own friends had been in
power more good work would have
:balm done. osoos•
I thank you also, and very heart-
ily, for your congratulations on ac-
count of the honor which our
Queen has lately conferred upon one
and I accept with satisfaction what I
understand to be the feeling in re-
gard to it, as you have explained it
on the part of those. who may not
see their way to approve of imperial
honors here in Canada. I know
that my acceptance of the honor
worild not have the approbation of
the whole people of this Ontario of
ours, and ou that accouut hesitat-
ed very much in regard to accepting
it. Indesrd my first feeling was to
ilecliue it, just for that reason, and
it was not until after I had au op•
portunity uf conferring with my
colleagues on, the subject (such of
them as I could meet for the [pur-
pose) and &amassing with them the
whore question, and finding that
their opiuion was that I should
accept and got their advice to accept,
that I had sent an answer to that
effect to the offer that was made to
me.
The newspapers have been saying,
quite truly, that I am not indebted
tor this honor in any way, directly or
indirectly, to the Dominion govern.
tent ; that I owe it altogether to
the spontaneous act of the imperial
authorities; that it was unsolicited
by me and undesired by me.
When I say that I must at the same
time say that I appreciated the
honor of the offer. I appre-
ciated it ne representing the pro-
vince of Ontario during so many
years, because it was offered to me
in recognition of the confidence
which the people have placed
in me so long, and for the

it was offered to me, 'Nor was I

population has never been against
such honors. The Conservative,

so it was with the Reform party
likewise until quite a recent period'
—I believe until about the year.
1879. Previous to that time you
all know that the father of reopen.:
sible government, the great Liberal
leader of -early Hines, Mr. Baldwin,
accepted an imperial honor,the Com-.
minion of the Bath; that hie coad-
jutor, Mr. Lafontaine, accepted a
baronetcy ; that during Mr. Mac
kenzie's regime Mr. Doriou
accepted knighthood; titat during
his regime also another minister,
Albert Smith, accepted a similar
honor, and a few mouths after MI
Mackenie wont put of office Sir
Richard Cartwright e as appointed
and accepted the honor, very large.
ly through the influroaca of Mr
Mackenzie himeelf, for these honors
are sometimes given on the recom-
mendation of the government of the
day.
In my case two knights were ap-
poip ted at the sante time, Mr
Abbott and myself, and I
have very little doubt that his
honor was as unsolicited as my own
and that lie had no recommendation
from his colleagues. Mr. Macken-
zie himself refused knighthood, but
not because he had any objection to
the priuciple; but he declined it to
-
reasons personal to himself. Then
it is commonly said that Mr. Brown
likewise refused k n ighthood ; and Mr.
Mackenzie'e and Mr. Browu's course
is referred to in some of the news
papers by way of contrast to my
own. But Mr. Brown must. have,
in the first instance, accepted his
appointment, for it appeared in the
Gazette, and he actually went down
to Montreal to receive the seine ; but
while there he learned who were to
be associated with him, and among
them were men whom he had been
denouncing in the Globe,an d others,
and in regard to whom he hada
very strong public opinion. And
it was just on account of this that he
declined to accept the honor. I
say then that this matter of refusing
knighthood was never made a plank
-114-thl Liberal platforroo-- -
The matter is .one which has ex
cited a good deal of interest. I
have been reading whatever came in
my way in order to ascertain what
the principal 'objections were to
Liberals receiving and accepting
this honor. The strongest reason—
that which weighs most heavily..—is
this matter of knighthood having
been conferred in '79 on some of
tho ministers of that day. who were
specially obnoxious to Reformers;
and they also had the same feeling
10 regard to one or two appoint•
mitts made subsequently. It is to
be regretted that tho impression has
been abroad that these constitute
the knights generally that have
been appointed in this country.
This is rather a harsh view of the
!natter and not at all a correct one.
Mr. Illowat hero read from the
Parliamentary Cotupanion for '91 a
list of the knights who had been

You will see, ho eoulinned, that
there is a great host of them (and I
have not read them all), and a good
many Conservatives We did not
object to Conservatives receiving
these honors. The objection was
to persons specially objectionable re-
ceiving them. Further, it is to bo
borne in mind that these objectiona-
ble appointments were made thirteen
years ago, and the others not long
afterward -3. These persons who got
the honor wore representatives of
the people. They were persons
that the people of this country had
elected, and in whom they had more
confidence than Reformers had in
them. They were ministers of the
crown. Reformers did not agree
with those who put them there, but
`they "Itere put by the people of tho
country, by a majority of the people
of the country. What the imperial
authorities did then was to give the
honor to those whom 'the people
had endorsed, rightly or wrongly.
It would not be in accordance with
Reform principles that the imperial
government should presume to re-
verse the decision of the people of
this country. I myself am associat•
ed in this honor with those whom
a great many of our people do not
approve of; but is that a reason why
the honor should not be accepted.

fifty feet and it is a wonder he was

When the boy was found he had

Daniel Homer east a quick, apprehensive
glauce at his son and bent closer to his
work, a bit of harnes5 he was mending.
There was a light step on the flags, a flut-
ter of many wings and a confusion of
chicken calls, for whenever 'Trudy appear-
ed the chickens flew to meet her.
"Take care, old Whitey, I must step on
you if you get right under my feet. There,
there, Blacky, get off my shoulder ; you'll
tear my frts.:k. Shoo, shoo," and driving
them before her with her wide-brintmed
hat, Trudy reaelied the opnii door.
It was a trim little figure, betiding over
the threshold with a, laughing demaild for
coru for the ehickens. Both men rose to
obey her, but the elder Was hastily Jecall-
eil by Trudy's imperative "No, no, Uncle
Daitiel, I'd be ashamed to make you wait.

want to come in for the corn, the liens
would be so disappointed, thinking they're
to have none at all. I wouldn't like to
disappoint one dt'these dear chicks even for
a- minute, would you; Uncle Daniel ?"
The old man answere.l her with a smile,
his thoughts upon her more than the
chickens.
"The Halls are going to take boarders
this summer," Trudy began, throwing her
!alit handful of corn to the chickens. " I
wish wecould, Uncle' Daniel, then per-
haps we could get the books Adarn
wants. Frn sure I could do it. I can do
a lot now, can't I, Adam ?" and Trudy
looked appealingly at the younger maul.
"There's the spare chamber, you know,
that, would accouttnodate two nicely, and
Mrs. Hall said two men wanted to come,
but her rt5ouis are all taken. Don't you
think, Uncle Daniel, I might try, just try ?
ft would be so nice to have the books next
winter."
Evidently Uncle Daniel did not know
what, to think. Divided between his aver-
sion to having strangers around, and his
desire to gratify Trudy, he could not de-
cide at once.
•4 \Vell, well, child, we'll think on't—
perhaps, perhaps."
Even this half concession put wings to
Trudy's feet. She flew upstairs to her
chamber, front which she descended like a
gust of stormier wind, to lay the table for
supper. A flutter of blue gingham, -a trill
of bird song, a scurry of ligtit feet, and
supper was ready, The low sun shone
straight iu at the tiny -paned window and
lay in long, golden pools on the white floor
and upon the great brown loaf on Trudy's
table. The pale blossoms of the creeper
swung i1 and out, of the easements and
scaststimi ows ross th yellow . eream
on the big pan of milk awaiting Tisitly's
ladle. There were luscious raspberries,
too, and cheese as yellow and creamy as

mulberry set carried back to the parlor

Trudy was tired, but as pleased with her
small pot of money as any miser. When
would Adam buy his books? But Adam
wouldn't buy them at all, and told Trudy
to put away the money—he didn't want it,
and Trudy, who said he was just as cross as
he conld be, and had been horrid all sum-

What is a Promise of Marriage ?
A judge at 1.04.4ed44 has decided that "a
promise of marriage may be, made by other
ways than by words—by a shake of the
hand, for example, or a wink of the eye, or
a thousand other modes." A young woman
had a drawing muster who gave Iter every

of saying so. He wrote letters descanting

At a recent meeting of the Academy of
--leiences, Paris, a paper was read on the
proven tive i noun lations of yellow fever by
I)ontingos Preire. The author has in•
oculated 1 0,88I persor.s with cultures of
Microeoccus The mortality of
those so vaccinated was 0.4 per cent., al-
though the patients lived in districts infect-
ed with yellow fever, while the death rate
of the uninoculated during the same period
was from 30 to 40 per cent. These results
have lead thc government of the Brazilian
States to found an institute for the culture
of the virus of yellow fever and other infec-
tious diseases, and to appoint M. Freire the
director.
Why 'Milner% Wore Chosen.
On account of the prevalence of intemper-
ance among the men in Ho land, women
have been employed at railroad switches
with groat success. Not an accident has
occurred since the women were installed in
their unique office. If the precedent be-
comes established that a sober woman is a
more valuable servant, than a tipsy man,
there will be a great revolution in the in-
dustrial world.

Bub in Miss Hunt's own room perhaps' .:
the (Mange was most pereeptible. Here ,a ,
hammock piled high with cushions wits
swung "kitty•cornered," 08 one says in the
country. A great pilo of papers and pert-
odicals littered the table and the walls
were literally papered with souvenirs of
Miss Hunt's Journalistic career.
Their there were photographs of actresses
in (mettle -tea which made 'Miss Hunt's
mother sigh deprecatingly whenever she
looked et them ; there were cuts illustrate ,
ing rbany of the girl reporter's news stories
which made the ear lady shake her head ;
there was a Chinese opium pipe from a
Mott street dive which made Mrs. HuntgaSp, gasp, and an ugly',stiletto which had ac-
companied Miss Hunt on many an assign-
ment and which her mother never regarded
without a shudder,
It was also so curious to this gentle,'
timid, unworldly mother—this strange,
bustling, feverish life her little daughtet
had led in "that wicked Babylon," as slii
was pleaied to -term New York. She could
not comprehend the ways and meatte of
modern journalism —they. were tnysterioua
and past finding out.
"\Vere there no men to he sent on such
missions 1" she would plaintively ask when
her daughter was relating some of her
thrlbiilug experiencee—a midnight visit to
the Alorgue, two or three hours alone in the
room where a famous murder was com•
mitted, an interview with a cerebrated
prize fighter.
"The novelty, dear," Miss Hunt would
reply—"the novelty of a woman's views of
these scenes."
"I cannot understand these conditions.
Alt ! how thankful I arn it is all over for
you, and that you are here safe:with me."
And at first Miss Huut smiled reassur-
ingly 81111 said, "I es, dear, so am I."
At first. But atter
When the perfect rest the girl sorely
needed had done its work ; tvhen after
weeks of sound sweet, sleep in the dear
little room through whose wit -mows the
resinous odor of the pines came, bringing
natules sweet resorter, and on whose roof
the rain pattered in soothing lullaby, there
came vaguely certain halt -defined longings
to he up /1.11t1 doing again.
With grim resolution Miss Hunt tried to
banish these intangible suggestions, but,
like Banque's ghest, they would not down.
"Will you lead a itrene's life?" they seemed
to whisper. "Are you content to stop here
and stifle in this atmosphere Go back to
your work."
One day, on opening the newspaper for
which shelati worked while iii-NeVe York,
a paragraph caught her eye to the effect
that Miss Van Scribble had been sent t
India with a celebrated explorer to re r
sent the enterprising journal,
Miss Hunt dropped the paper with a
smothered cry. Little Van Scribble, she
who had written nothing but fashion
twaddle and gossipy rubbish, to have such
luck !
"I might have had that appointment,"
thought Miss Hunt as she kinked out the
window with s. dreamy, far -away expres-
sion as one seeing the gildeddoines'asd
mi-
arets of the glorious Orient.
' When at nightfall, a few days later, her
father came from town he handed her a let-
ter. The envelope bore the well-rementoer-
ed letter -head of the big New York (tails
Miss Hunt's hands shook as she opened it
and read the note from its managing editor.
Ho wished her.to return. There was a bet-
ter chance than ever en the paper for an
enterprising woman ; her wtrk was missed ;
there seemed to be no one who could handle
exactly the same stuff which Miss Hunt
had done so well. In fine, she had better
not bury herself and her talents, but come
back to her proper place. The note ended
with the offer of a good salary.
„Miss Hunt 109,1 against, the open win-
dow, the letter in her hands. It was it
perfect June evening. There Was a soft
rustle among the leaves, premonitory of a
coming shower. The perfume' of her
mother's rose -garden store upward. 'rhe
golden crescent of the new moon hung low
on the horizon. In the apple tree a robin
was plaintively calling for rain.
Suddenly in on this peaceful scene 4408
;borne the rumble and roar of a great city.
Again 141111 Hunt saw the throng surgi
np and down Newspaper Row and I.eard
the ceaseless tramp of the restless multi-
tude. . • . . Out flashed the electrle
lights. . . The shrill cries of the
newsboys—"Wextra! Wextra !" — came
ringing ou the air. . . . An ambulance
clanged along the street. . . Cabs
rolled up to the door of the great building,
. . . Upstairs the huge presses were
hammering nut to-morrow'S- news. . . .
The windows were ablaze. . . Color,
light, confusion, work. The scene trem-
bled with movement and vibrated with
life. •
Miss Hunt drew a long breath, crossed
the room to her desk and began to write. •.'s
There was no help for her. She had smelt
printer's ink once more. The feverish in-
fluences of her old life clime back upon her
sevenfold. Yes ; she would return. She
had wasted time enough. There was work
tor her to do. Oh, to bo back, back to her
accustomed haunts, back at her studies of
human nature, back at her dissection cf
humph souls. 0•
"Dear sir," she wrote, "your letter is re-.
ceived, and after deliberation I have decid-
ed to accept—"
Up from the rose garden through the
window came the sound of a voice—sweet,
tender, tremulous.
"Kitty !" 'it called, "Kitty, wherrtir.
you, dear ? Mother needs you."
Mechanically Miss Hunt rose and steppeti
to the window.
Her mother was busy among the rotes.'
She turned her patient face tip.V8watAii
Miss Hunt.
"Come down a moment, deer," she
bleated, "I need you."
I need you!
Miss Hunt turned back to her desk, tett&
up her half -Written letter, looked intentik-
at it a morhent, then quietly tore it is Wei
and tossed it in the waste basket.
Then slowly the girl passed from theronti
down the stairs and out into the dewy frt..'

They Painted Their Statues.
Edward Robinson, in the Century, re-
ports, as the judgment arrived at after
patient investigation, that the Greeks and
Romans painted their marble statues, cov
ering the whole surface, except pcesibly
where, in part, the natural color of the
marble served the purpose. The nim was
to imitate nature in the matter of color as
the sculpture (lid in that of form.
The Truth Was Known.
Mrs. Tartley—If pin don't like my way
of doing things why did you marry me ?
Mr. Tartley—Becausel didn't know when
I was well oft
"Because you wern't well off, and you
thought I was—if the truth was known."
