Alt ti R:�S list TIM I i A 1'1tl mIEIt, In our last issue the bare an- nouncement n- itt „ krt was made Sir John Thompson had fled suddenly at 'Windsor Castle, shortly after being sworn in as at member of the Im- perial Privy Council, Sit' John Thompson had recently complained of ill health, and though, uu his departure for Windsor, he looked well, he complained Of not feeling altogether right, and ap- parentlywuttld have preferecl if his visit to the Castle had been postpon- ed. Shortly after the oath was ad- ministered by her Majesty in person the end carne. The ceremony •of swearing in took place in the pre- sence of the Earl of Ripon and the member's of the court at Windsor. It is supposed the excitement of the ceremony through which he had passed so told on them that he broke down under the strain, Lord Breadalbane, in an interview after his return from Windsor Castle, said 1 accompanied Sir John Thompson to Windsor. At luncheon he sudden- ly fainted, Ind one of the servants and myself succeeded in getting him into the next room, where we placed hire on a lounge near a window. We got some water for Trim and sent the servant for a little brandy. When the brandy was given hint Sir John revived in a short time, and seemed touch distressed at having made what he regarded as a scene, remarking: It seems too weak and foolish to faint like this. I replied : One does not faint on purpose. Pray do not distress your- self about the matter. He then begged me to return to my luncheon. But, of course, I would not bear of it and remained with hies until he seemed to have completely recovered and arose to accompany me back to luncheon room. I offered him my arm, but be walked unaided, cheerfully re- marking» I am all right now, thank you. In the meantime, Dr. Reid, the Queen's physician, whom I had sent for, arrived. Within two or three minutes of Sir John's return to luncheon, and, I believe, before he lad tasted whatever had been placed before him, I saw him suddenly lurch over and fall almost into Dr. Reid's arms. At the doctor's request all the ladies left the rooni and the doctor and i and some of the servants alone remained. We did all possible, but I•felt his pulse, and I was convinced that no aid could avail. Dr. Reid held the same views and it unhappily proved to be too correct. Sir John Thompson is dead,—was the intelligence that went forth from the place of death,. The utmost sur- prise, dismay and horror prevailed and expressions of regret were gen- eral. The English and Canadian press, of all shades of politics, have express- ed profound sympathy .with the fam- ily of the deceased premier, and have referred in eulogistic terms in regaerd to hhi great abilities as a statesman. The body of Sir John will be brought to Ifalifax, where the inter- ment will take place, by the Blen- heim, an Imperial warship. A son of J. J. Kingsmill, ex -judge of Bruce county, has the distinguished honor of being in command of the Blen- heim. It is stated authoritatively in Ottawa that the offer of the Premiership was first made to Sir Frank Smith. He declined the honor, and advised. His Excellency to send for Iron. Mr. Renetta Eon. McKenzie Bowen, Minister of Trade and Commerce, has been en- trusted by His Excellency with the duty of firming a Cabinet. Mr. Howell is the senior Minister and has been acting Premier. LANGSIDE.

' Christmas, 1894, • Whether or not we apprehend its deeper: significance, Christmas is still, as it has been for two thousand *ars, an oeeasion of unbounded good -cheer and festivity. Every one of us finds opportunity to realize the truth of the words of sacred writ,. "It -is more blessed to give than to re- ceive.” The habit of present making is universal, and the only questions 'which any of us has to consider are those relating to the value, the form and the destination of our gifts. Their intrinsic value is, or should be, of little account. To all right-mind- ed persons the most acceptable pres- ents are those which represent some thbuglit and labor on. the part of the donor. An article of domestic handi Work, if it has cost days or weeks of personal application, is much more liltely to be regarded as an expres- sien of genuine love than any article, however •beautiful or valuable, which could be proclued in the course of half a day's shopping, or by writing a cheque. Those who cannot give I time or labor roust, ' of course, pur•- Chase the handiwork of other people. Parents may very properly do this • for their children—who are easily made happy with inexpensive toy:; but the daughter, fol• instance, who • 'wishes to please her father will pre- • pare with her own hands, as far as . possible. some addition to his ward- • robe, or some convenience likely to acid to his comfort, If this rule were generally followed, Christmas would never mean, as it often does, anawk- ward strain upon " Papa's" pocket- book. Between grown people, es- : peciaily during the prevalence of business depression, Christmas•gifts, apart from cards of greeting through the mails, should be limited to ar- ticles of real utility. And if in any have degree we ha a imbibed the spirit of Ilan whose advent we celebrate, our generosity will not be limited to those who are able to recompense us again. The poor and the desolate will share our botenty. BI:LGRAVE.
