W. Johnston, C. Currie, Archie Scott,
athletes; G. A. Matheson, Highland
dancer, and always a favorite. Piper,
Ireland, too, is on a tour and is ex-
pected. These are famous men in their
respective events and will have their
abilities fully tested ,by a host of new
competitors. The local competitions
this year promise to be intensely inter-
esting, and from the number of inquir-
ies received by the Secretary we judge
that 'both counties are on their mettle.
Arrangements for the games are about
complete. The programme is very
liberal and attractive. The railway
arrangements are most favorable, and
the grounds are in fine _condition.

ception of visitors on evening trains.

the speakers came almost entirely un-

made. Messrs. P. McKenzie, F.

very strong points against the admin-
istration, but. they were ably opposed

called 'and congratulated Mr. Nicholl
on the large and intelligent., audience
which haclassembled at sO busy a time
to do him honor. He •spoke in the
highest terms of the part Mr. Nichol], j4
had taken in the work of the Society
and in every thing conducing to the' pec
well being of the community. Mr.
Valens then came forward and in be-
half of his many friends at and about
Rolyrood presented Mr. Nicholl with
a beautiful silver water pit,:her and ,
cake 'basket, and in a short speech
tendered. him the wishes of ail for a
safe jeurney to his new home and a
prosperous and happy future. He, was
followed by Mr. Peter McKenzie who.
spoke very highly of Mr. Nicholl, both •
in his relations to public life and as a
companion. and/friend. Mr. Nicholl
Made 'a very feeling and appropriate
reply dwelling upon the length • Or
time he had been among the people of
Holyrood, the many,associations ef his
boyhood •which cluster around it and
which will always endear it to him and
above all on the tunny pleasant even- '
ings he had spent at the Literary.
Society. The meeting then dosed
with many good wishes to Mr. Nicholl
and his estimable partner.
He is a man who will be greatly "
missed from our midst. Possessing,
talents far above the average, a reten-
tive memory, and a reasoning power
remarkably . keen and penetrating.
The extent and thoroughnes of the
knowledge, he has accumuiated is sotne-
thing surprising. As a 'conversation-
alist he has few equals; the extent and
variety of his information making him
able to talk intelligently and instruct- •
ively on any -of the great questions of
the day. He has on several occasions
favored the Mechanics' Institute with
lectures, and the depth of thought, the
keeness off observation and the clear
reasoning displayed in those' lectures • •
has been pronounced • by competent .
critics aa equal,: if not superior, to any-
thing delivered by those who had all
the advantages of the highest educa-
tion. But it is in platform. speaking
en the great questions of the day that
he exhibits his greatest power. A fluent .
speaker, a rapid reasoner, and always
ready with whathe wishes to say, ,
there are few who care to cross swords
with him in debate. Were he to enter
public life he would be sure to rise to
a poSition of eminence'and we hope to
hear of him making his mark in his.
new home.

In Darkest Africa
The furegoing is the name of Stan-
ley's latest and greatest literary work.
It is one of the best on explorations in
the Dark Continent that has ever
bcn written. To read the book is to
appreciate it. Rich in glowing des-
eription and full of stirring incidents.
This book will 'repay its reader while
he peruses its interesting pages. His
pen has to a great extent dissipated
• the gloom that has SO lonor'settled on
•this benighted land. Through his
energy • and indomitable courage the
light of civilization has penetrated
into the wilds of Africa and the dawn
of it glorious future has come. • Every

vineed that Stanley is entitled to the

the name of our country,. I write this
to fill up spaCe, to kill time, and to
interest all. n It has often puzzled me
as to the derivation of the word
"Canada" and also hew this country
came by that name. Now,. there is
nothing like . being interested in a
thing. We may not grasp, nor fully
understand it to begin with, yet, ham-
mer at it, and you will eventually hit
the right nail on the head. Well, I
• came across a bit of reading to -day
which had "Canada" for its heading,
and I was at mice interested and ab-
sorbed with its contents. I found that
the word was "miuted" and brought
into requisition under peculiar and
'strange circumstances. Previous to
the arrival of the French in this coun-
try, the Spaniards came over, of course,
in search of gold. The Indians, seeing
these strangers, watched them, and
dogged their footsteps. and while doing
so, they i. e. the Indians heard the
Spanirrds say "Reran -mina," and found
Oat that it meant "There is nothing
here.' When after this the French
landed, the same wily Indians, think-
ing these were on the same crrand, and
wishing to get rid of then", -frequently
repeated "A -can -nada." The French,
unaware of their intentions, and mis-
