EDITORIAL NOTES.
Mr. Daniel Strange of Michigan
wants to know of his agricultural
paper how it is that the price of
wool there is so low and much of
the imported manufacturea of wool
paya 166 per -cent duty.
A Si. Pawl, Minn., lawyer worth
$300,000 has been sentenced to 60
days in the workhouse, without tie
option of a • fine, for maliciously
libelling another lawyer. Were all
the malicious liars punished by im•
prisonment the workhouse, gaols,
states, prisons aud penitentiaries in
the United States would have to be
increased one thousandlold.
Last week two muscular brutes in
human form met in New Orleans
and pummeled each other for an
hour and twenty minutes. The
names of the bruisers are J. L.
Sullivan, of Boston, and J.J. Corbett,
of San Francisco. Sullivan was
beaten and reports say his face was
battered out of all ambiance fit) a
human phiz. And this is sport !
And the great big 212 lb bully cried
ke. a child—abein—f- licked— by Tire
187 lb antagonist. Its a great pity
that both could not be whipped out
of civilized society. One man who
lost $20,000 on Sullivan has commit-
ted suicide. Another exhibition of
the bravery of those who engage and
delight in these brutal exhibitions.
"The Household," a tidy little
paper, edited and written by and
published for women, in connexion
with the ,Michigan Farmer, has
been discussiug the pros and cons
of farmers wives taking city boarders
at $4 or $5 a week during the sum
mer. Kate argues that thisis more
profitable than selling butter for 10o
a pound, eggs for 10c a dozen and
cherries for $1 a bushel. Big
prices for farm products are quoted
as city retail prices, but it is what
the farmer realizes that the farmer is
interested in,and the American does
not, all through, realize as much for
what he has to sell as does the
Canadian farmer. Eggs sell at re-
tail in Montreal at 20e a dozen, but
that is not what the farmer realizes.
So with New York prices and the
American farmer.
The great fistic champions who
meet in a ring and pummel ono
another out of all semblance to tho
human form divine are often called
gladiators. The term would appear
to be misapplied in their cage. A
gladiator wad one who fenced with
sword(' for the amusement of tho
Roman people who, with all their
faults, would not hare been enter-
tained or amused at the appearance
of a giant Sullivan with broken
nose, eyes blackened and closed,
lips distended and the iunet tissues
forced outside and a generally
hideous appearance. And to ap-
plaud the man who aceompliehed
this artistic distortion of the human
face is about as misplaced as to call
the parties to it gladiators. Even
the generally deprecated bull fight-
ing is an ennobling pastime when

London, Sept. 14.—Scotland ie
seething with indignation in con•
sequence of a series of lettere in the
London newspapers concerning the
conduct of Scotch soldiere in the
last Boer war. .All the writers
charge the Highland regiment with
gross cowardice. Ono writer, who
was at the Mejuba Hill defeat of
the British troops, declares the
Highlanders to be the worst cowards
who ever wore uniforms. They
acted like a herd of calves. He
says many threw away their arms
and ran for dear life. They did
moat towards losing the battle for
the British troops, and lastingly be-
smirched the honour of the British
army. Several writers go so far as
to demand a parliamentary enquiry
into the conduct of the Highlanders
in the Boor war. The defenders of
the Highland regiments contend
that few Scotchmen have joined
these regiments in tho last thirty
years,and call fora reform which will
realize the plan of picking the
Scotch soldiers carefully, paying
them well, and making them what
they are supposed to be—the elite
of the Britiati army. Tho Scotch -
men say thoir Mende decliue to be
answerable for the cowardice of
Whitechapel Highlanders and
Cockneys clad in lions' skins

WORSE THAN OUR JIM'S
EXPERIENCE.
Two trunks arrived at the Uniou
depot yesterday which were curious-
ities. They came in on the Bur-
lington from St. Joseph. One
bore the adress "13. J. Rowe,
3936
Washington avenue, St. Louis,"
and the other had the BOHM address
and the word "bride" painted on it
in large letters. Wrapped about
the trunks were about sixty yards
of white satin ribbon, while here
and there was a dainty bow, which
iddicatecl plainly that one or more
women had helped perpetrate the
joke—for joke it was.
It seems that Mr. Rowe, who is a
clerk in the B,urlington's St. Louis
offices, was married at St. Joseph
Tuesday to a beautiful girl. They
left for St. Louis via Kansas City,
:and bid their many friends good -by
t the St. Joseph depot. But the
friends wanted some fun, and took
the Burlington !'Eli" for Cameron,
where they met the Kansas City
train, Part of the deJegation,
tv rich consisted of nearly fifty peo-
ple, entered the Pullman coach and
pelted Mr. and Mrs. Rowe with
rice and old shoes,to the groat delight
of the passen passengers and to the
chagrin of the young couple. 'The
other half of the delegation spotted
the trunks as they were being trans-
ferred, and, in addition to putting
on the sixty yards of ribbon, nailed
on four horse -shoes and a dozen old
shoos. The trunks attracted the
attention of thousands at the depot
yesterday.

of Dr. Talmage'', preaching tour hes juet
ended. After conducting services before
immense audiences at Swansea. Exeter and
preached four tunes in Plymouth
to the largest religiousgatherings ever wit -
limed in that city. Tete sermon selected
for to -day is entitled, "The King's High-
way," the text chosen being Isaiah 35: 8.10:
"And an highway shall be there, ands way,
and it shall be called the way of holiness;
the unclean shall not pent over it, but it
shall be for those, tho wayfaring men,
though fools, shall not err therein. No lion
shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall
go up thereon, it shall not be found there ;
but the redeemed shall walk there ; and
come to Zion with songs and everlasting
joy upon there heads : they shall obtain
joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing
shall flee away."
There are LI:ow:WI:1 of people hero this
morning who want to find the right road.
You sometimes see a person halting at
eross-reads and you can tell by his looks
that he wishes to ask a question as to what
direction he had better take. And I stand
in your presence this morning conscious of
the f
act I
t let there are many. of you here
who realize that there are a thousand wrong
roads, but only one right ono; and I take
it for granted that you have come in to ask
which one it is. Here is one road that
opens widely, but I have not much faith in
it. There are a great many expensive toll-
gates scattered all along that way. Indeed
at every rod you must pay in tears, or pay
in flagellations. On that road, if you get
through at all, you have to pay your way;
and sinee this differs so much from what I
have heard' in regard to the right way, I be-
lieve it is the wrong way.
Here is another road. On either side of
it are housesof sinful entertainment, and
invitations to conic, and dine and rest ;
but, from the looks of the people who
stand ou the piazza, I am very certain that
it is the wrong !rouse and the wrong way.
Here is.anotfier road. It is very beautiful
and macadamized. The hors's' hoofs
clatter and ring, and they who ride over it
spin along the, highway until suddenly
they find that the road breaks over an em-
batakinent, and they try to halt, and they
akw the bit in the mouth of the fiery
steed, and cry "Ho 1 ho !" But it is too
late, and—crash !—they go over the em-
bankment. We shall turn, this morning,
and see if we cannot Lind a different kind of
a road.

of tragedies and poems, and yet could not
"real his title clear to mansions in the
skies." Many a man has botanize(' across
the continent, and yet did not know the
"Rose of Sharon and the Lilyof the Valley."
Bit if one shall come in the right spirit,
asking the way to heaven, he will find it a
plain way. The pardon is plain. he
pease is plain. Everything is plain.
Ho who tries to get on theroad to Heaven
through the New Testament teaching will
get on beautifully. He who goes through
philosophical disousaion will not get on at
all. Christ says : "Cow to me, and I will
take all your sins away, and I will take all
your troubles away." Now, what is the
use of my disguising it any more? Is not
that plain? If you sinted to go to London,
and 1 pointed you out a highway, thoroughly
laid out, would I be wise in detaining you
by a geological discussion about the gravel
you pass over, or a physiological discussiou.
about the muscles you will have to bring in-
to play? No. After 'this Bible has pointed
you the way to Heaven, is it wise for me to
detain you with any discussion about the
nature of the human will, or whether the
atonement is limited or unlimited? There
is the road—go on it. It is a plain way.
"This is a faithful saying, and worthy of
all acceptation, that Jesus Christ came into
the world to save sinners." And th 4 is
you and that is ine. Any little child here
can understand this as well as I can. "
less you become as a little child, you cannot
see the kingdom of God." If you are saved,
it will not be as a philosopher, it will be as
a little child. "Of such is the kingdom
of Heaven." Unless youset the spirit of
little children, you will never come out at
their glorious destiny.
Still further: this road to heaven is a safe
road. Sometimes the traveller in those
ancient highways would think himself per-
fectly secure'not knowing there was a lion
by the way, burying his head deep between
his paws, and then, when the right moment
came, under the fearful spring, the man's
life was gone, and there was a mauled car-
cass by the roadside. But, says nay text,
"No lion shall be there:" I wish I could
make you feel, this morning, your entire
security. I tell you plainly that one minute
after a man has become a child of God he is
as safe as though he had been ten thousand
years in heaven. He may slip, he may
slide, he may stumble; but he cannot be de-
stroyed. Kept by the power of God, through
faith, unto complete salvation. Everlast-
ingly safe.
The severest trial to which you can sub-
ject a Christian man is to kill him, and that
is glory. In other words, the worst thing
that can happen a child of God is hoaven.
The body is only the old slippers that he
throws :aside just before putting ou the
sandals of light. His sonl, you cannot
Tharff.'7:7N.0—firo8—ean—consturrre- it
floods can drown it. No devils can capture
it.
His soul is safe. His reputation is safe.
Everything is safe. "But, ' you say, "sup-
pose his stere burns up ?" Why, then it
will only be a change of investments from
earthly to heavenly securities. "But," you
say, • suppose his name goes down under
the hoof of scorn and contempt?" The
name will be so much brighter in glory.
"Suppose his physical health fails ?" 1
will pour into lurn the floods of everlasting
health, and it will not make any difference.
Earthly subtraction is heavenly addition.
The tears of earth are the crystals of heaven.
As they take rags and tatters and put them
through the paper -mill, arid they cornu out
beautiful white sheets of paper, so, often,
the rags of earthly destitution, under the
cylinders of death, come out a white scroll
upon which shall be written eternal eman-
cipation.
Still further ; the road spoken of is a
pleasant road. God gives a bond of in-
demnity against all evil to every man that
treads it. "All things work together for
good to those who love God." . No weapon
formed against them can prosper. That is
the bond, signed, sealed and delivered by
the President of the universe. What is the
use of your fretting, 0 child of God, about
food ? "Behold the fowls of the air ; for
they sou, not, neither do they reap, nor
gather into barns, yet your heavenly
Father feedeth them." And will He take
care of the sparrow, will He take care of
the hawk, and let yon die ? What is the
use of your fretting about clothes.? "Con-
sider the lilies of the field. Shall He not
much snore clothe you, 0 ye of little faith ?"
What is the use of worrying for fear some-
thing will happen to your home? "Ile
blesseth the habitation of the just." What
is the use of fretting lest you will be over-
come of temptations ? "God is faithful.
Who will not suffer you to be tempted above
that ye are able; but will with the tempta-
tion also make a way to escape, that ye may
be able to bear it."
I pursue this subject only one step fur:
they. What is the terminus? I do not care
how fine a road you may put me on, I want
to know where it comes out. My text de-
clares it: "The redeemed of the Lord come
to Zion." You know what Zion was. That
was the King's palaCe. It was a mountain
fastness. It was impregnable. And
so heaven is the fastness of the
universe. No howitzer has long
enough range to shell those townrs. Let
all the butterflies of earth and hell blaze
away ; they cannot break in those gate.
Gibralter was taken ; Sebastopol was taken;
Babylon fell ; but those walls of heaven
shall never surrender either to human or
Satanic besiegement. The Lord God Al-
mighty is the defence of it. Great capital
of the universe ! Terminus of the King's
highway 1
When my last wound is healed, when
the last heart brake is ended, when the
Lit tear of earthly sorrow is wiped away,
and when the redeemed of the Lord shall
come to Zion, then let all the harpers take
down their harps, and all the trumpeters
take down their trumpets and all across
heaven there be chorus of morning
stars, chorus of white -robed victors, chorus
of martyrs from under the throne, chorus of
ages, chorus of worlds, and there be but one
song sung, and but one name spoken, and
but one throne honored—thatof Jesus only.

than ono ton of shipping to each
five of her inhabitants, while the
United States have but one ton to
each fifteen inhabitants
Our n'eighbors explain that they
have neglected their foreign trade
while building up their demotic
trade—they have measurably stop
ped shipbuilding and concentrated
their energies upon railway build-
ing. They have done well. At
the same time, while Canada has so
for out stripped them on the sea,
she has more than held her own
with them on laud. She has more
miles of railway in proportion to
population than the 'United States.
Great Britain is, of course, pre-
eminently the great maritime coun-
try of the world. At tho carne
time Canada has almost as groat a
tonnage in proportion to population
as even the mother country.

THREE SMALL PITT8BURGERS HAVE'
A VERY NARROW ESCAPE FRO81
DEATH..
A well knovru physician of Pitts-
.
burg, in driving hurriedly to visit
a patient last week, lost his medie,
eine case with its numerous vials
of sugar-coated pilla. Three little
boes—Ralph McCulley, aged 3, and
Willie and James McKeley, aged 2
and 4 years respectively—found it.
Its contents filled their little hearts •
with delight—uothing' but candy.
Each little one with hands 'and
pockets filled with the dainty vials,
went to a near by orchard and be-
gan devouring the sugar-coated pills
A lady living near passed by and
learning of their doings and eatings
hastened them home with a full
realization of their danger. There
she dosed them wi th milk and sent
for a doctor. The latter arrived
and promptly, administered the.
usual antidotes for poisoning and
brought a stomach pump into play.
The children were in excruciating
pain up to midnight, when they be-
gan te mend. The doctor spent
niost of the night with them and in
the morning pronounced them out
of danger. The medicine case con-
tained 4 lot of poisonous drugs,
such as aconite, morphine, dover
powders, and areenio.

BILL NYE ON RoAD,MARING.
Our wagon roads throughout the
country are generally a disgrace to
civilization, and before we under,
to -supply Jaeger underwear and
sealskin covered Bibles with flexie
ble backs to the African, it might be
well to put a few dollars into the
relief of galled and broken down
hones that have lost their health on
our miserable highways.
The country system, as I recall
it, was 'in my boyhood about aa
poor and inefficient as it could well
be, ',Each township was divided up .
into,road districts, and each road
district was presided over by an
overseer of highways, whose duty it
is to collect so many days' work or
so many dollars from each taxpayer
in the district. Of course, no tax-.
payer woulk pay a dollar whet' he
could come and make mud piles on
their road all day and visit and
gossip with his neighbors and save
his dollar, too.
The result seems to be that the
work was misdirected and generally
an injury to the road. With all
due respect to the farmer, I will
state right here that Ile does not
know how to make roade. An all
wise Providence never intended that
he should know. The professional
ooadbuilder, with the money used
by the ignorant saphead and self',
made road architect, would in a few
yerrs make roads in the United
States over which two or threetimes
the present sized loads could e
easily drawn, and the dumb be
of the republic would rise up
call us blessed for doing it.
