Sita Wilfrid Laurier has been deo,
ing what tew Men in the higher
world of politica eau do, deliver elo-
eluent speeches: or orations in I!.ng-
fish and French in London and in
Paris. Sir Adolphe Chttpleau can
do the same; we doubt if there are
many others. One or two French-
men can also do it. We du not
mean to converse fluently in either
tongue -for many can do that --but
who can get or; their feet at a mo-
ment's notice and electrify their
hearers in either language ?-Tor-
onto World.
THOMAS BALLANTYNE, ExASpeaker
of the Assembly and one. of the Can-
ada's largest exporters ofebeese, said
to The Toronto World Saturday;
"Ontario will have the largest hay
crop it has bad in twenty years and
the yield of wheat and oats will be
away above the average of late years.
The weather is suitable for spring
grians. Some damage was caused
to fall wheat by late heavy rains, but
they have done an immense good to
roots crops. I look for a great im-
provement in trade; in fact, prospects
are exceedingly bright. Exports of
cheese from Canada are muchlarger
than last season and prices are
good. .
PROSPERITY AT HAND.
The activity that characterizes
business on the C. P. R. is shared in
all the transcontinental and western
railways. The traffic on the Ameri-
can railways is the heaviest ever
`known at this season of the year.
The roads have employment for every
car they possess, and the shops are
workingfull hands, and many of
them over time, to get out rolling
- stock, that traffic may not be delayed
In Canada the prospects never were
brighter. The Manitoba crops will
exceed in volume the output of any -
previous year, while the resources of
the C. P. R. will be taxed to their
utmost to handle their western
business.. The payment of 1'• per .
cent. half yearly dividend on the
common stock of this railway is
evidence of returning prosperity, not
only in railway circles, but througbt
the whole country. A Philadelphia
journal, commenting on the situation
on the other side of the Iine, says:
`What a difference between a year
ago and now as regards business
conditions!' Then depression, strain,
lack of confidence, anxiety, failures,
fear of the overthrow of the gold
standard. Now advancing prices,
restored confidence,faith in the Treas-
ury and its ability to meet its obli-
gations, big crops, increased earn-
ings, evidences of reviving business.
Last year at this time Wall -street
was in the dumps, now it is in all the
bustle and excitement of a great
b AIL movement." -Toronto World.

All spent a very pleasant afternoon
and evening. About six o'clock the

after all had partaken heartily of the
abundance of good things provided,
Rev. Mr. Maxwell intimated to the
guests, that, following the example
of those who on that day fifty years
ago had assetnbled to ce&cbrate the
marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Miller,
they would before leaving the table
join in singing the 23rd Psalm. As
the sweet solemn strains of those
familiar old lines rose on the air,
recalling vividly to the aged pair
the scenes and occurrences of fifty
years before, there was scarcely a
dry eve in the company. After
supper lir, J. Skilling of Teeswater
and Miss Motherall, of Winnipeg,
sang several,•Scotclr songs. Mr. and
Mrs. Miller: Were the recipients of
many valuable presents. The mem-
bers of the family not present were:

Miller; of Gravenhurst, Muskoka.
Mr. and Mrs. Minor were theparents

line, Brant, and have been for 24
years reapected residents of Culros .
We geongratulate the venerable
coupe on the pleasure of health and
strength which has been vottehsafed
to them and hope they may live to
see Arany wedding anniversaries yet.
