Ohe very beautiful desire has
been planted within man's
breast and it is a longing to

surround and habilitate him-
self in the "Becoming" -and

desire ourselves but joined to
it is the desire to see other
men bedecked in the beautiful

WILL THE 11ICCORMACKS COME?—
Mayor Smith, of Guelph, received
Thursday two lettere front the Mc
Cormack Manufacturing Company, one
from their head office in Chicago and
the other from the Toronto agency.
Both letters deal with the question of
the location of the firm's proposed
Canadian works. They say that it will
bo some weeks yet before they will bo
able to decide where they will establish
their factory. Several places have
offered inducements, and many have
been net aside as entirely unsuitable.
The company dues not want a bonus.
Its chief object. is to secure a site that
will aford good shipping facilities, and
in other ways be suitable for a large in-
dustry such as they propose to inaugur-
ate. They will require four acres of
ground, and switches front the railway,
and expect to employ over 400 bands.

THE SECOND VISIT.—According to promise
in last week's Nsws-RECnttn our reporter
again visited the capacious rooms of the 25
Club, and was received as graciously as be-
fore, only with a little more familiarity. The
reporter did not hear much singing and en-
quired the reason thereof. " Oh," they
said, " this is the second part of the pro-
gramme we are now working at. Otn• music
is being arranged at present fot the orchestra."
" Oh," I said, "are you going to have an
orchestra?" They said. "yes." The reporter
suggested an imported one, as lie hail not
heard there was one in town. " Oh, no I"
was the answer, "all home talent; no -for-
eigners in our show, We have an orchestra
belonging to the Club, consisting of 8 pieces.
with the well-known leader, Mr. Holloway."
Our conversation was now interrupted by the
interlocutor calling order, and the end risen
began getting off Hoole jokes, but really the
reporter has forgotten most of them, for he
made up his mind to remember them, but as
goon as tie recovered from laughing, there
was another just as good, so the first was
completely knocked out of his head. Ho
said, " I suppose there is nothing new in tlio
joke line ?" ' No. \Ve promise there will
bo none later than 1812, and if anyone should
recognize any with copyrights wo are prepared
to give a bonus. Now, though very few
know it, wo have received no fewer.than 76
letters containing from one to 20 jokes in
each, from friends and well-wishers of the
Club's srlcness, some of which, alter being
subjected to the strictest scrutiny, may be
used, but the majority are not up to the re-
quired standard " Well, what is the second
part to consist of 1" The answer was that
there would he five special features, each of
which is complete in itself. so that along with
the first part an entertainment of two and a
lihjr hours would be giver'. 'i'lin reporter
pro nixed to come back next week .and Beat a
full diess rehearsal.

day, and about 7 a. in. on Sunday the ice
between McD.+tnrott's steps and Baechler's
mill race broke up. The upper ice came
down with great force, and paeeing through
the bridge was stopped by the ice along the
Ireek water, refuting to give. The scene

exciting ae in previous years, though even
yet the ice above li •nmiller may give ue a
eeene that the breaking of the ice b►idgo at
Niagara alone can rival.
