The' raising of bogs is falling off in England. Last year the number decreased 26 per cent a_d the year before 22 per cent. England's"scar. city will be Canada's opportunity, though the cheap bogs of the A rneri can West will prove strong compe- tition as regards price. The exports of timber` to Britain increased by over five million dol- lars the last nine months. In this as well as in eggs, apples, cheese, butter, pork, cattle and horses, etc., the increase of exports to Britain shows that the mother country is the "natural" as well as the beat market for our forest and farm pro. ducts. Statistician Johnson says that Conservative candidates received 370,342 votes it 1887 and the Re- for•mere 354,714. There was a greater difference in 1891, the Con- servatives polling 378,355 votes in the latter year as against 352,102 for the Reformers. The average majority per candidate in 1887 was 75 ; in 1891 it was 122. The re- sults of the by elections inarea:;ed the Conservative majorities so very largely that at the next general elec- tion the Conservatives may be ex. pectel to wipe out a considerable number of the present Opposition. English authorities say that the price of English wheat averaalts 24s to 27s per quarter, the lowest average recorded, and this in the face of thrashings of new wheat being disappointing. English wheat Belling at 72 to 81 cents will not allow for big prices in this country. Canada wheat would likely bring higher prices, being drier. In Clinton prices now are lower than the average, price paid here during the last 25 years. Mr. Jas. Fair, of Fair's roller mill says the lowest average, for any year during the past 25 sears, paid by him, was 77 cents. - - The Rev. G. M. Milligan, an eminent Presbyterian clergymen of Toronto, remarked in ono of his discourses, "Tike man who is no lover of his couutry is not a man to be trusted." This clerical dig at tho aunexationists is forceful and true. On which the Telegram apt- ly remarks : People who are free lovers in regard to countries, are only relatively better than thoso who are free lovers with regard to individuals. Thu true man is not the enemy of all other women be cause he loves his wife, nor is the true Canadian the enemy of any 'elation, kindred or alien, because he loves Canada. No nation was over made great by tnen who believed that all countries were alike, and that one was as good as the other. No, no. True patriotism must be concentrated just as true love is centred in the individual loved. Professor Goldwin Smith don't like Sir Oliver Mowat becauee he will not permit off ials of hie Government to plot against the commonwealth they take an oath to protect.

Canada is not :parching on td war but site is march• ing on peacefully and rapidly to the attainment of ber perfected destiny` as an independent nation within a'federated Empire of I3rit- ieh nations. Mcretary Treasurer Poster of the United States Cabinet is doubtleas a competent financier and perfectly well understands souud political economy. But in order to justify the American tariff on eggs he does 'violence to oonnnon sense, and we must presume to his own convic- tions also, when he says : "Eggs sell for 15 cents in the States ; in Can- ada they sell for 10 cents, but the American consumer does not pay the 5 cents difference ;the Canadian egg seller has to pay it." He then goes on to point out the benefit the duty of 5 cents is to the American farmer, by enhancing the value of American eggs by 5 cents. This is where he puts his foot iu it, If the duty enables the American egg raiser to get 5 cents more for ha. eggs than ho would get were there no duty, it id quite clear that if the duty were off the American consumer would buy his eggs for 5 cents less, There may be justifica. tion for theimpusition of the duty. on eggs, but it does not consist in the allegation that the Canadian egg -seller pays the 5 cents duty which the American consumer whacks .up every time he buys a dozen of home grown or imported hen fruit. BY PROXY. From Ilarper's Young People. "Mother," asked Polly, "what does to do a thing 'by proxy' mean 1" "To do it by employing another person to do it in your place." "But that wouldn't be doing it myself," objected Polly. "People consi'd'erit the same think," said mother. "If I sent Arthur on au errand, and he asked Harold to go for him because his foot tvas:lame—" "Arthur hasn't got a latae foot," cried literal Polly. "We must suppose he had, or that he had the toothache, perhaps, and so Harold went instead—" "Harold doesn't like to . do errands, either; he always makes mistakes," said Polly, thoughtfully. folly had her suspicions of sudden attacks of lameness and toothache. "Well, it doesn't matter. •Per- haps leo might Lire Harold to go' by, giving hint a piece of candy. If he did that, it would bo the same as had done the errand himself. e would do it 'by proxy." Do you understand, Polly 1" "Yes um," animated Polly, as she started up -stairs. "I've got all the candy Aunt Kittle gave me,',." said Polly to her- self; "hut Arthur hasn't any. Mother didn't know that." She pulled open her bureau draw - to taste a bit of the candy. It look- ed very pink and tasted sweet. "There's Isabella's dress right 'under it," exclaimed Polly. '•1've been wondering where it could be." She dragged poor Isabella Angel- ina by her leg from under the bureau, and proceeded to dress her. "Polly 1" euddeuly came mother's voice. "Yes um." "You must go to the store for me Bridget is busy, and I want the fruit for my fruit cake." Polly laid down Isabella Angelina with a sigh. •'I just hate errands as much as Harold does 1" Her oyes fell upon the candy. "Perhaps,"'murmured Polly, nod- ding her head. She slipped the candy in her pocket and wont down stairs with a demure face. "Yes -um, yes -um. Raisins, cur- rants, citron, and allspice. Why don't you say all sprites, mother ? It's correcter. • There's Harold at the gate!" She ran after him, and mother, busy with her cake, did not hear the little footsteps which pre- sently pattered up stairs again. Harold brought in the grocee's parcels. "How's this, my boy? It was Polly I sent to Mr. Slote'a. You've brought me the wrong kind of raisins; these are very poor. No currants at all! Citron, and one, two, three packages of cloves, cinna- mon, and ginger; bat no allspice 1" "Dear! dear !" groaned Harold. -'It's always the way." He pushed the pink candy further into his pocket. It wasn't neatly so sweet as it had been. "Polly 1" called called mother. "Yes -um," said Polly's meek velegoof "behind the kitohou door, t aalot j/rru on .flits. 11114440 Poliymt' Yes uin," lisped .' o,lly ,again S "and I went, mother, Wit, st'You ex. plainer', I went ..by proxy' I" Mother kept her face Ire straight se she could. "Indeed, Polly; then what stn- I to do? Here are the wrong articles. If Harold had dune the errand it would be les fault, but if It Is you. who have have done se badl,�y, you must be punished for your c relees- nese. You tell me you did the errand. What shall I do about 111" Polly considered the situation. "Well, I did d0 • that errend mother; I truly did. I did it 'by proxy.' I paid Harold a piece of oandy to go for me-" Then a bright thought ,struck Polly. "And don't you think, mother, that if I -did your errand 'by proxy', and you have to punish me for do- ing it wrong you ought to puuieh me 'by proxy' too 1" HIS NAME WAS DENIS. ' �i MADDENED BY THE SIGHT OF THE UNION JACK A OONSTAj3LE CREATES A SCENE. A British subject named Mac•' kenzio thought proper to honour the Columbian celebration by hoioiing a British flag last Wednesday over his home iu Tuckahoe, Westchester County, New York city. The village constable, Denis J. Mc Mahon, soon gathered a force of some two hundred roughs, armed with pistols and guns, and surround ing the Mackenzie home, demanded an interview with its proprietor, but found that gentleman, although absent in body, well" -represented by his better half, a Virginian by, birth, and, although devoted to the Stars and Stripes, dared McMahon and his armed roughs to molest the: ob- noxious flag. The following 'de scription of what then took place is.given in the New York World :— Two young hunts:nen were w. t'eh ing the proceedings from the street. Both had rifles, and McMahon directed them to turn the weapons over to him. Others in the party had pistols and muskets. and got ready to use them if necessary. "Don't shoot a woman, boys," commanded McMahon, as he, saw the preparations hie men were mak- ing, "but if that British renegade is in the house, and I think he is, and he fires shot or brickbats at us, BLOW HIS HEAD OFF." This order was received with cheers, and the men loaded their guns and awaited developments. A moment passed, and then they saw Mrs. Mackenzie go to the parlor window and pulldown the shade. All was quiet within after that; and, finding that no warlike damen- stration seemed to be coutetnphatad by the besieged, McMahon yelled, "Now, boys, down with that rag." In a trice half a dozen men had seized the pole and wrenched it from its suppers. Amid cheers it fell to the ground. Scores then glade a grab at the flag and a tussle ensued, for possession of it. Mc- Mahon finally secured it, and plac— ing it in the custody of a lieutenant, called upon his men to help put an- other staff in position. This was done very quickly and then ,the American ensign was hauled up and saluted with three times three and a tiger and howls and jeers for the British flag. Then McMahon ordered his comtuand to fall in. The English trophy was placed in the hands of a couple of men and was dragged through the dust all the way back to 'Tuckahoe. village. The party had by this time been swelled by the arrival of recruits to upward of two hundred. Singing "Yankee Doodle," "Hail, Calum— bia," "Ta•ra-ra-Boom-de-ay" and other melodies, the pa.adors march- ed up the main street. A halt was made in front of ex -Overseer Kerwin's place of business. Then the dirty, bedraggled flag was held up while Palph Hodges, a butcher and formerly an English subject, SPAT UPON IT. This seemed to set the crowd wild again, and they demanded a speech from their leader. McMahon mounted a platform, fashioned with boxes and a barrel, and asked every man who would pledge himself not to permit another insult to the American flag to hold up his hand. Every hand went up amid tremend- ous huzzahs. McMahon also paid his respects to the Britleh Govern• went, denouncing it in the strongest language for its brutality towards Ireland and its coercive policy towards all the provinces subject to it. He made each one of his hearers promise to tar and feather Mrokenzie if it should be proved that he removed the flag that bad been hoisted by the party that bad participated in the storming of the castle. and predicted that 'Tuckahoe would very soon have an evacuation day—that is the British would be run out of town. The speech was rapturodsly applauded. Then those who had taken part in the expedi- tion tapped soveral kegs of beer. • A VAA,41/111 DgA.T , = en. un.

Moose is florist for the Northern sad Nurth•western railway; He resides at Couohich. ing Puiut, whereho had large green- houses. Shortly after dinner ho told hie wife he would fix up his pumps for frosty weather. He went to the well, which is within a low yarda of the house, and taking off the covoriug he endeavored to pull the plug out of one of the pumps The well.ie about 20 feet deep, about three feet iu diameter and there was about 15 feet of water in it. The plug was three feet below the ground, and in try• ing to,'pull it out it suappod off short and Mr. Mouse was precipitated head first into the well. There are two pumpa running into the narrow shaft and consequently the unfor- tuuato wan was uuable to tura nor could he raise himself out of the water. Ilia wife saw him fall atfd ran to the well where she could see his feet a few inches below the water. Iie was struggling hard and as she could not reach him she ran to the nearest neighbor's a quarter of a mile distant. It must hove boon 15 minutes before assis- tauce came, and when the body was secured a few minutes later it was about 20 feet under the surface. There was a slight bruise on. the forehead and the hands wore lac eratod in trying to raise himself out of the well. Deceased was 40 years of ago and leaves a family of six small children, the youngest being but 2 mouths old. He was a prominent society man, being a member of the A. 0. U. W., the Royal Arcanum and of the Masonic order. ROMANISM IN CANADA. At the meeting in Cook's Church, Toronto, last week several papers were read by divines attending the Pan -Presby ter•ian Council on the as- pects of Romanism. Third on the programme was Rev. Dr; Laing, of Dundas Ont., who dealt with "The Aspect of Romanism in Canada." He said that. Rotnanism was the same in .Canada as else- where. All the phases found in other countries were Fere, and in addition there were aspects sim- ilar to thie country. The Church of )tomo was more securely in- trenchad in the Dominion than in other Protestant countries, and that Romanism was of the Jesuitical and ultramontane variety. In Man- itoba the percentage was 13, in Ontario 16 and iu Quebec 80, while the presentase throughout the Dominion was 41, Theoretical- ly Replan Catholicism hud no spec• iul rights not possessed by . all others in any province except Quebec, but gradually they aro gaining many privileges in many other parts. The public schools are not Protestant, for the Catholic bishops, although they have their own separate schools, see that noth• ing anti papal creeps into the public schools and the prieats are allowed to exercise an undue in- fluence. Separate schools have not yet succeeded in getting a foothold in the Maritime Provinces, and in Manitoba, also, it is to be hoped, that the recent decision of the Imperial Privy Council has settled the questtion final- ly, while in the Territories the endeavor to established them has 'boon successfully resisted. (Applause) The hierarchy in Quu- bee has special privileges; the church is by law establish, and other privileges graciously granted in the last century to a conquered people are now haughtily insisted upon as inalienable rights. Largo" tracts of p.toperty are hold by the Catholic Church in Quebec, and she is immensely wealthy, owning at the preaout time $240,000,000 worth 'of real estate, an am— ount which is being steadily augmented. In ,tithes $4,000,000 is collected and $6,000,000 more in various other ways. In 1839 the hierarchy put in a claim for the right to levy taxes in Ontario,but the following year this claim was quieted, doubtless for a monetary considera- tion. The struggle is still going on in the great North-west, and the end is not yet. Civil liberty, more- over, is seriously affected in Quebec. The cardinal prince of the church is placed on an equality with the representative of her Majesty Queen Victoria, and treasures have been laid before the Parliament in this Dominion, endorsed es decrees which have been amended and ape proved by the Pope of Rome. The division of Municipal parishes, the civil marriage law and many other purely temporal and political mat• tem have been subject to the domina- tion and influence of the priesthood. But the work of evangelising the French-Canadians was going brave• ly on in Quebec, the North-west and other parts, and the results, direct and indirect, were far from discouraging. b4M ' ,ZSAT 4,0114 4$44 TOW ItY-, A,N QtlaTO I'itoMf ,SAM ,i9114 $1 RAT% • 1t� Georgia . has ' developed many, types of tteniutt.

' His face is that of a oomedian, and his campaign argu manta are almost entirely in illus- trative anecdotes. Everything re• minds him of a story. "The conditions in Georgia now," he will begin hie speech. "are jigni6• taut , because all the old elements which have always fought Deince (racy, the rounders, snollygosters, shoulder -hitters, and sons of guns, the discordant eleruent't, every atom of which is a storm centre of politi- cal disintegration, are mustered under this piebald banner of so- called referee" "When talking about their plat- forin," ' says ho, "you cannot tell what they mean. It is like the little boy whose mother made him his first pair of pants and' proudly sent him off to the kindergarten. He returned borne crying. The boys at school had laughed at hint. He Kent to his mother and tele her that he wanted a pair of store pants, for with these on he couldn't tell whether he was going to school or coaling home." "ASK THE BULL."' • Speaking of Watson's followere he says be it afraid many of theft don't know just where they are go.. ing in their blind chase after the demagogues who are leading them.

In their mad career they passed a neighbor who yelled to John : "Where are you going 1" "Durn if I know," he replied, as he sailed through the air, "ask the bull." SOMETHING DEAD IN TIIE BREAD. He says there is something wrong with the party whose adherents fear to hear the other side, that it is the Oran with the paste diamond who is afraid of the light, that something is rotten in Denmark when one white man is afraid to hear another talk. It reminds him of a fellow up in the mountains who got married in •She olden days and went by elate on a bridal trip to Charleston. At the hotel the waiter brought him codfish balls for breakfast. He had never seen any. He supposed them to be fritters. He stuck his fork in one of them and took a bite of it. He liked the taste of it but little -and the smell less. After several frantic and unsuccessful attempts t_o masticate and sequester it his atoms ecu became critically rebellious. He took it out of his mouth, slipped it under the edge of his plate, and turning to his wife said :—"Sallie, the landlord looks like a clever man arid I wouldn't hurt his feelings, so we won't say anything about it, but I'll be --if there ain't something dead in that bread." LIKE A CAT FIGHT. After ,jumping on the woman's suffrage plenk he atiked the boys in a confidential way if they have ever seen Mrs. Lease, the Third Party orator. -"Well, 1. have," says he. "Well, boys, she is a plumb sight. if I had a 'houtid dog that would bark at her as she passed by the gate, I'd kill him before night. She could sit on a stump in the shade and keep the cows out of a oneJhundred-acre cornfield without a gun. She's got a face that's hard• er and sharper than a butcher's cleaver. I could take her by her heels and split an inch board with it. She's got a nose like en ant eater, a voice like a cat fight and a face that is rank poison to the nak- ed eye." 1IfAT PESTIFEROUS ANIMAL. In describing what will become of the Third Party he gives this little allegory :—"I have somewhere read a story of a lion who lay asleep in a forest. There came along a pesti- ferous little animal whose name I will not call, who, with an old grudge against the lion, thought it would be some satisfaction to slip up and bite hits, for he thought he wee dead. The lion was not dead. It awoke and simply placed hie paw upon this pestiferous little animal and all that was left of him was a greasy spot in the sand and a little stench. " I want to tell you, my fellow citizens, that the Democratic lion in Georgia is alive and awake, and in November he will place the paw of his power upon this pestiferous little skunk of a Third Party, and all that will be left of it will be a little greasy spot on the sand and a little stench." 0 xiitl,' esu FLA r: REV, DR, PATO NPNAgel 08 Tari' B4gesitio- 1T PALtitlgt'l, TA11,, Al'iNEXATtON OF TUN 9QUTLI PAOt k'1O 1it1•4 N Dei A 01.08IOU0 WORE.-T•DE .NATIVES WANT BR.IT1611 P13Q7ROT. ION. A despatch published . in last weeks papers stated that , "the . British Government was anuexipg all/ the Islands in the Pavia* that have not already been appropriated. Some time ago the British flat war hoisted at the the Union group, and now the Royalists have raised it at' Gilbert Island." A representative of the London Free Press showed the despatch to the venerable Dr. Paton, the Pres.• byteriun missionary to th a New Hebrides, et the close of his dyer - flowing meeting in the Presbyterian Church. "It would be the greatest blessing if it were true," be exclaimed, clasp- ing his hands together. For years the Australasian authorities have been urging upon the Honie Govern- ment the desirability of taking pos- session of one or two of the groups in their vicinity, and the Itew Hebrides are as yet independent." "What do you say would be tha benefits of such annexation?" "It would make their trade more secure and increase it ; life and property would be protected, and many of the evils from which we suffer now would he remedied. "It would render missionary work much more effective," suggest- ed the reporter. "Yes, it would be a blessing in every way. You see, at present Britain, Germany and the United States hay e established a sort of joint protectorate over several of the Islands and agreed between themselves that no liquor shall be sold to the natives; that slavery shall be prohibited, and that the natives shall not be supplied with firearms, which they use in fight- ing amouget themselves or to kill t .e wbistes. Liquor, you know, has about the same effect on a South Sea islander as it has on an Ameri- can Indian." "Are the natives. in favor of British annexation 1" Dr. Paton replied that they were —the feeling was almost unanimous in the New Hebrides so far as he could judge. A British man of -war, the Dart, visited the Islands recent- ly, and from almost every Island that she approached deputations of the chiefs and people came off with petitions that Great Britain would plant her flag there and take pos- session of the islands. "Were these. Christian natives only, or did the others join in these petitions?" was the reporter's next question. The doctor, in reply, named two or three islands that he said were wholly Pagan, and from these the petitions were just as strong and urgent. The people are practically unanimous, I believe, he concluded. The doctor stated that the unpro- tected islands are the rendezvous of the slave traders, and those who minister to the vicious tastes of tate s'tvagos. The British were held in tl.e highest esteem, because the missionary work was nearly all done by them. But the natives wanted nous of the French, who were very tyrannical and cruel in their treat- ment of the natives. They avenged wrongs by treachery, and in making reprisals on the natives for evil der ds, they would slay innocent and guilty alike. He had heard of their • euticing a lot of natives down to the shore uuder pretence of trading, and thea butchering them offin the most ruthlesa manner with shot and shell fired from the ship. The Germans wete sometimes cruel in their treatment of the people, but the•English and Americans never. They would inflict punishment for outrages, as was perfectly right, but thry were always most careful to find out the guilty parties first. The French would not allow a mis- sionary on an island that they had ;•ossession of, and in one case the commander of one of their vessels had landed with a file of soldiers and marines and taken Mr. Jones a prisoner, only allowing him half an hour to collect his books and writ- ings; and causing the lossot a great part of his life's work because they would not allow him to collect it, and he was never allowed to visit the island again. Dr. Paton also stated that New 1 Guinea was divided between the British and Germans in about equal p ortions. WHERE THE PAY CAME PROM A wealthy brewer in Montreal built a church, and inecribered on it: "This church was erected by Thomas Molsoti at his sole ex- ponce.—Hebrewe XI chapter." Some of McGill College wags ono night altered the inecription so as to make it read : "This church was erected by Thomas Molson at hie soul's expense. He brews (double) XX." i e, 11,0
