Liteknow, July 15th., 1892.
'ST. J mix's, Nfld., met with a great
calamity Friday by fire. Five hundred
houses were destroyed and three thou-
sand of the inhabitants made homeless.
Already a cry for help has been raised
and no doubt aid will be needed and
given.
THE binder twine trust are going to
find a formidable competitor in the
Ontario Govermnent, says the Toronto
Mail. It has been decided to put
twine machinery in the Central
Prison, and the convicts will turn out
twine for the farmers at first cost.
This, it is expected, will strike a death
blow at the twine trust.

The following is a candid criticism
by' one who was present and who
occupies a high position in Toronto
literary circles : —Miss Agnes M.
Bowes, of Pinkerton, was fort-
unate in getting a chance to
read at the closing entertainment of
the Provincial Normal School, in
Toronto, and she made excellent use
of her opportunity. Though this was
her first appearance on a T3ronto, plat-
form she made a very good impression,
and can easily deepen it if she can only
got other occasions for the display of
her powers. The situation was some,
what a trying one for Miss Bowes, as
she appeared in the same programme,
as Miss Agnes Knox, who, had ac-
quired a wide -spread and ,well.founded
reputation as a public reader, and has
been for the past year a teacher of
elocution in the Toronto Normal
School and the Provincial School of
0TEIE British Liberals are gaining
- ground, but very slowly, and though
they are likely to be in a majority at
the close of the elections their majority
will be a comparatively small one,
even counting all the Nationalists
and Labor members. The counties
do not seem to be doing much better
Pedagogy. Each of them read two
selections, those given by Miss Bowes
being the longer and more difficult.
She read the quarrel scene in Sheri-
dan's "School for scandal," and "How
he /fiddled his way to fame." With
the aid of a voice more than ordinary
power and compass she gave a very
perfect rendering of the part of Sir
Peter Teazle, and a less striking but
. still very skilful of the part of Lady
than the boroughs, and it was upon
Teazle. Both parts call for the

• ilAmaroN Times:—Grit newspapers
are saying that Professor Foster's duty
of 5 cents a dozen on imported eggs
will be of no use to the Canadian
farmer. , Let the grits be patient. It
takes a little time -for the Professor's

power, and the draft on the reader's
versatility is all the more severe
because of the abruptness and fre-
quency of the transitions in the
dialogue. It is unnecessary to say
more of the selection that . it so
well known as the quarrel scene.
In spite of the triteness which, comes
of long and enduring popularity, and
which makes the majority of public
readers shun it, Miss Bowe's rendering
of the piece was greeted with a hearty
applause, which was a spontaneous tri-
bute to her unhackneyed treatment of
so familiar a selection. A still more
marked triumph was scored in the
other piece which she elected to read.
In spite of its comparative length—
always dangerons in a long and varied
programme—and its dialectal charac-
ter, which greatly increases the diffi-
culty of a thorcughly dramatic render-
ing, it was listened to with the most
intense interest, and its conclusion
was marked by plaudits again and
again renewed. The Tennessee dialect
is a hard one to master and reproduce
but Miss Bowes, in the opinion of good
judges, has gained a high degree of
facility in its use. She did very full
justice to both the. humor and the

Exeter Times fooled away a lot more
time this year in investigating and
discussing the Poor House scheme and

with -the municipal elections. We ought
to petition the parliament for an act
permitting the poor to be shot when
they get too poor to pay taxes or too
ragged to attend church. This is the
largest and richest county in the
world, outside of Africa, that has no
poor house, and we ought to be the
first to move in this matter. Econ -
only is the true secret of prosperity.

would of course be invidious, to
make any comparisons between her and
Miss Knox, to whom she was intro-
duced by a mutual friend after the
entertainment, and by whom she was
received with the utmost courtesy. It
is enough to say that Miss Knox never r
had on any previous platform a more
dangerous rival for popularity, and
that no one would be more ready than
herself th admit that the style of Miss
Bowes, though very different from, is
not inferior to her own.—Kincardine
