rolioe Magistrate Gray on the
Scott Act.
4t tba:l<rt4, of Me Bennet, an
Qraingevillo keret keeper, 'in . the
Court house in that towel, last week,
Police Magistrate Gray is reported
by the Post to have ox,aitgsnedd -huin-
self as follows':
° ". lratfeybi@coin tlimoaghly'roosti-
viuRed that the Solis Ad is a oom-
plete'farce,and tbo more experience I
acquire as a tuaatstrate the more
satisfied do I become in toy convic-
tion. The temperance people, who.
securedmy appointment and"'induced
me to accept the office, are not sup-
porting mei as they promised.
They expect mo to do all the work.
There are 32 constables in tho-
county, but not one of them can be
induced to act. When I do succeed
in getting'a'caise into court I find it
alinost imposssble to secure a con-
viction. Witnesses are prepared to'
perjure themselves in order to
defeat the onds of the law. I find
all the legal talent of the counry
arrayed against ane, and if by chance
a conviction is secured the lawyers
sot to work with diligence to dis-
cover some flaw in the proceedings
in order to have the. conviction
quashed. I am convinced from
my experience that the imposition
of high license is the best and only
way of regulating the liquor traffic.
Three years ago I supported and
voted for the Scott Act, but I now
feel that it was a great mistake.
These are my honest convictions,
and I don't caro who knows them."
Mr. Gray is.well known as a life
long Temperance man and Prohibi•
tionst. He was one of the most active
workers in support of the Scott Act,
and by speaking at meetings and
rr otherwise, did everything he could
to secure its adoption in Dufforin.
CIGARS VS. PIPES.
Extravagance of American
Smokers as Viewed by a
Londoner.
"One of the features of Ameri-
can street life that'strikes an Eng-
lishman ou first arriving in America
most forcibly," said a young Lon-
doner recently, "ie • the abund-
ance. of cigars. I was simply Aston-
, ishod to observe on my arrival here,
teamsters, •porter; i abmon—aye,even
pedlers with handcarts—smoking
cigars.-, In England, you knoll;
where cigars cost ,just as much as
they do here, a man who never
smokes anything but a cigar is
looker] upon as an .epicure, and, if
hu is not a gentlemen of landed
property, is regarded as a very ex-
_-_„travagaut follow.
"What do we smoke? Why
pipes, of course. I know fellows—
London fellows; too—who aro worth
all the way from £100 to £1000 a
a year—who aro inveterate smoker's,
+and -:Yat, -res 14t- cigars tvitlr x�ea�t as
much deference as you do diamonds,
nodoubt. Tho most extravagant of
them smoke two cigars, at 3 peuco
or 6 cents a piece, per day. 'No ;.
I roust say that the princely extra-
vagance .of the American smoker,
who, though he- may be too poor to
buy himself a•warnl overcoat when
the cold wind comes, will still scorn
to smoke a pipe on the street, floors
me. In Loudon, if a coster mono .
or cabman. appeared among his com-
rades with a lighted cigar in his
,month, he would he hooted from
one end of the street to the other
for endeavoring to assume a luxury
his circumstances .in life (lid not
entitle himrito." '
Death Cuts Down All. Both
Great •and Sma11.
A party of hotel men .in the Union
house rotunda Monday were ills
CUssin1 the recent deaths of Messrs.
Hunting and Snaith, and hoping that
the destroyer would not visit their
ranks for some time to conte, when
ono of the party said.:
"Thore are several hotel -keepers
in town whose deaths, 1 am sorry to
say, is only a question of time."
`.`Who are they?" eagerly inquired
the others.
The first gentlelgan repeated
names which were greeted with ex-
pressions of sorrow and regret.
"But I didn't .know they were
sick," thoughtfully remarked one of
the party..
"They rine not sick."
"What's the matter with them,
then ?"
"Nothing."
"Well, I—"
"As I said, their death' is only a
question of tinge."
And solemn silence appeared and
mingled with the crowd.
DISGUSTING CATARRH.
A gentleman from Montreal writes:
For years ?have been greatly annoy-
ed by Catarrh. It caused severe twain
in the head, continual discharge Into
my throat, and' very unpleasant
breath. By a thorough use of Nasal
Balm i was completely cured. 964 4t

held out to the youth of both Nixes
in Ontario to enter upon s,tudiee for
which the Majority of them are by
nature and circeinstancee wholly I, n -
fitted; that young men who aught to
be following the plough and the
harrow, and young women who
ought to be in the kitchen and the
,fairy are tempted into paths of life
which they are utterly incompetent.
Conversation.
What adds more to the pleasures
of life than conversation? We toil
cheerfully on, all day long; stimu:,
fated by the thought, that in the
evening hour wo will all gather
around the hearthstone ,and hold
sweet converse together. It seems
to me sometimes, I would rather sit
down one hour and converse with
some loving, sensible congenial
friend, than to sit down to the rich-
est repast. In conversation lot us
be careful to give proper respect to
others, listen attentively to them,
and weigh all they have to say, and
let me bog you not to interrupt
others in their cenvorsation, especi-
ally never an older person. Noth-
ing seems to thole so disrespectful.
Give each ono an opportunity to be
heard. Do not intrude your own
private affairs ou others. •And u over
wound the feelings of any one,
even though you have the chalice to
bay something very clever. Wit
shpuld ever be tempered by a gentle,
humble, Christian spirit,
Never allude to any subject which,
might be di agreeable to any one
present. Say all the pleasant things
which truth will allow you to say,
and try to crake every one around
you feel that he is of some import-
ance.

non, Russel county, who was com-
mitted to the county gaol for two
mouths by the magistrate of Ver•
non for infraction of the Scott Aet,

— It appears that the children of
1'ru'mera residing in the vicinity of
the artillery range on the Island,
of Orle:4ns, Quebec. are in the hab
it of hunting for spent cannon balls
and shell in order to sell them for
a trifle. On Thursday last, Major
Provost, of the Government cart-
ridge factory wont down to the
range to test a now kind of' 64 lbs
explosive projectile. .Uufortunate-
ly one,of theoo fired did not ex`•
plodetand was picked up by four
little boys, the oldest of whom was
aged twelve, children of a 111r.
Pierre Godbout, Iietnoving' the
plug from it, they incerted A light-
ed match into tho orifice, when the
bomb exploded, killing three of
them outright and budly lyouud-
iug tho fousth. Joseph, the eldest
brother, had his arms broken, and
a Niece of the projectile • passed
clean through his body. A portion
of his ,jaw was also blown oft' and
clothing taking fire his body
and legs were badly burned.
Arthur, the second brother, was
completely disembowelled and had
itis heart torn out, and Alphouse,
the third, was also fearfully muti-
lated. Louis, the fourth and young-
est brother present, will recover,
as his face and hands- wore only
burned by the powder, and it was
from him that the distracted par-
ents and neighbors obtained the
details already received of the ac-
cident. The father also had a very
narrow 'escape, as he was quite
close to the scone of the explosion
at the time, having jest crossed
the river from the north shore
where he had boon on business.

Many of theworst attacks of
