Farmers better off than they were twe it v
years? N. B. bad better go and tell diet
tq the marines, they may believe him, bet
the majority of tempera will not. Why
sir, I am acquainted with a farmer, who
twenty yeara ago, farmed160 &orea in this
township of Goderioh. He sold this farm,
and had after all inoumbranoee an 1
debts were paid, fully $6,000. This money
he invested in another farm in the 'sans r
township, and to -day if this farm was sold
and all debts paid, he would not have
$3,000. I know of another farmer, wh
farmed a like number of acres, in tho
township of Colborne, he was known as it
King B. amongst his neighbors, and he,
probably, was the happy poaseesor of a like
sum of money. But a few years ago be
was foroed to take a midnight flitting, anti
tc day he is eking out as eeistenco in one
of the ba,k settlements of the State of
'Michigan. Well, sir, having disposed of
these two farmers, are there any more poor
farmers around, whose liabilities have
#likewise increased, and assets deoreased ac-
cordingly? Yes sir, lose of them, and they
are not greenhorns in the business either,
but men who have followed the business of
farmigg all their lives, and whose fathers
before them followed the same occupation.
It would be interesting to know to which
of the causes N. B. mentions, does he assign
his own straitened oircumstanoes. We
know, that it is not because he is not R
gocd farmer, for he has insinuated on more
than one occasion that this is not the case.
It must be because of those paintings,
carpets, etc., which he told us of, and with
which he said, he had his house well sup-
plied. He is a farmer ander the N. P.,
and such being the case, he cannot afford
these things; he must of necessity find
them mighty inconvenient." Poor fellow,
he refused the little book which I proffer-
ed him, and gave as a reason, "That ex-
cept in rare oases it is better to look for-
ward than baekwark." Well, I would tell
him that this is one of the rare oases; that

farmer -was to live one year like the rich
manufacturer lives, that year would be his
last in the farming business, and if he was
not al -le to earn hie own living, or had no
friends to look after him, he would end his
days in the poor house. If the average
farmer was to live for one year like the
average mannfaotater, his fate would be
the same. And the extreme poor farmer,
what of him? Poor fellow, his case adm:te
of no comparison. But if the wortt comes
to the worst, he may find consolation in
the knowledge, namely that in one respect
at least, he is on the par with the rich
manufacturer; for this is where the ex-

I would like to say a few words in re-

I must draw it to a close. Perhaps I may

burgh and the Cameron ilighlanders,
The Lord Provost's committees of the
Town Council had before them last week
the question of the contemplated merging
of the Cameron Highlanders into the Scots
Guards. Among other things considered
was a memorandum on the whole subject
by Councillor Forbes Mackay, and it was
resolved to recommend that the Secretary
of State for War be requested to leave the
decision of the matter to Parliament.
In his memorandum, Councillor Forbes
Mackay, after reminding the committee
that the 79th is a single batta-
lion regiment, says : "The difficulty that
the War Office has to face is this : 1. That
the 79th is for purposes both of home and
foreign service not a complete unit. 2.
That any increase in the number of Scot-
tish regiments to be recruited in Scotland
will increase the demands on .S ottish re-
cruiting, which was already insufficiently
ms • in fact,all things g

t to a diminu-
tion in the near future of the number of
Highland.regiments,. because of the.increaa_
ing difficulty of retaining the nationality of
the recruits. If a second batallion could be
raised in any way for the 79th the whole
difficulty would be aolved.”
American Morocco.
Very little morocco is now imported into
this country. Up•to about the year 1880
nine -tenths of the morocco used was im-
ported, and the amount manufactured here
was quite small. The proportions have
been about reversed the last twelve years,
and now the output of Philadelphia, Wil-
miugtou, Boston and Lynn is far greater
than the total consumption was at the time
named. There is absolutely no reason why
any of this article should be imported at
all, and the home-made grades are really
better on the average than any that can
be imported. One American house now
turns out 40,000 or 50,000 skins a day, and
the slaughter of goats for the purpose is
quite extensive. It is estimated that as
many as 30,000,000 goats are slaughtered for
their skins every year, and this is probably
true, although most people would be apt
to doubt whether there are as many of
these interesting animals in existence
A Cheap Storage -Battery Car.
A novel storage -battery electric street-
car, for which is claimed a high efficiency
at a low expense, has just been built at
San Francisco. This car, which the build-
ers confidently expect will create a revolu-
tion in street railways, is 34 feet long, and
decorated in cream and gold. It is built
after the style of the Pullman vestibule
cars, with Pullman windows and curtains,
fittings of oxidized bronze, and upholsteries
- in plush. The( interior wood-finieh is of
bird's-eye maple, 16 electric lamps will
light it, and a push. button to signal the
stopping of the oar will be beside each
passenger. The car is provided both with
lir and band brakes ; a 20 -horse power
motor, run by storage batteriea, will fern -

pensive both in construction and operating
than the trolley system.
Played the Widow's Part.
Oh, the wiles of the Washington women.
I beard yesterday of the way in whieh a
distinguished member of the House was ro-
oently entrapped, says the writer in the
Post. He is a southern man and has been
mentioned prominently in connection with
a Cabinet position. I could tell his name
but—
Well, not over a few days ago, a woman
name to this Congressman. She wore the
dismal trappings of woe, and with copious
tears bemoaned the untimely death of her
husband.
She was pretty and attractive, and her
sorrowful tale stirred the sympathetic cock-

olaimed to be from -I mean the state which
the member represents, and he bestirreei
himself in her behalf. Ho was successful,
and to -day tho woman is a clerk in the

But she wears no widow's woods now.
Oh no ; sho is not a widow at all, and,
what is really a funny coincidence, her
husband is a clerk in the same office. I
wonder if the Congressman has learned

played so earnest d part.
