As Mr. Garrow Inv) apparently be.
come eatielled that the decieion nu -
seating him was a, righteous one, there
is every possibility of an early appeol
to the sovereign people. It ia thought
that the voting will take place on the
BOth, but the linseateci knowe rather ,
mole Omit that than we ao.
There is confildereble speculation aa
to whether or not Mr. Gamow will
again he a candidate. We are inclined
to think he willa he receives the nom-
ination andof that he is as good as assur.
ed, though his supporters concede that
be is a much weaker man than he was
a couple Of Years ago.

In tos article dealing with the new
Prernierahe Pall Mall Gazette of Lon-

is a slight, fair man of middle height,
and his features recall those of his dis-
tinguished father. "i° ears ago a Oan-
adieu editor spoke of them as"indebits
able cook and cockerel," and• there are
other resemblances between sire and
eon in addition to those of feature. For
instance, Sir John Macdonald was • a
man of fine manner ; so is his son,
gugh John is one of the most affable
and approachable of Mortals, and this
kindliness of his is natural, and notate
farmed, In his early days it Was this
side of him which impressed and com-
mended him to everybody. And now
the stress of political conflict has
brought out other and more robust)

Everyone has a fad. We used to
try and save one penny a week for
postage at Xmais and New Year's

of pennies, so. we preaurned everyone
else was saving them: We only in
one year managed to get twenty-three.
Looking them over to see' if any.of
them were of any particular value we
found two, one of the date of' the
Fenian Raid, the other was etamped
with the name of our new Mayor.
Happening to meet him last %Yews we
asked him if it were his name that was
stamped upon the penny. He said :
"Yes, ten years age I put nay name on
twenty pennies and I never stag but
one of them since." So they did not
all find their way to other cities. Pen-
nies vary in size; some being very
large and thick. Our postmaster, Mr.
Galt, is making a collection, 00 we
-trust our store may fOrnish • him with
