The second session of the fifth Leg-
islation of Ontario was opened by His
Honor, The Lieuteuant Governer, on
Wednesday afternoon. It is to .be
hoped fee the honor 'of the country
that no attempts will be trade this
session to corrupt members of the

Exciting news from Egypt arrived
last week. The column of 1,500 Brit-
ish soldiers, under Gen. Stewart,
had a severe engagement with 10,000
of the Mandis' troops ; the letter were
badly beaten, leaving- 800 killed and
'800 wounded on the field of battle.
The British loss was 66 killed and 85
wounded. Among the offi.:ers slain
was Col. Buena )y, celebrated for hies
famous ride to Khiva.' Since there-
,
•peipt of ttie above news intense anx-
iety has been felt in England for the
fate of {len. Stewart sad his gallant
band as up to Wednesday last no
further tidings had been received 'ram
him. On Wednesday,.liowever•,.iatel-
]igerce was received at the war office,.
,stating' that Stewart had ieftptered lie:
teinneli and succeededin communicat'
ing with.Gordon. Before the British
force reached Metemneh it had several
fight's with the Arabs, and Steward has
been badly 'wottnded so serious that he
e. ill be. disabled for the remainder of
the campaign. Greatenthusiasm pre-
vails in England at the British' suc-
cess, and may congratulations have
peen received at the War, Office.
The 'Presto yierian''g ves tiie follow-
ing excellent hints to those who have
the arrangement of meetings:—If a
meetin_ is worth hol.diug, it is worth
holding in the best possible way. A
meeting that makes everybody present
wish they had stayed at home, - does
far more harm than good. Tiie per-
orate responsible for holding the meet-
ing should arrange a programme before
hand in the way that they think for
the best interests of the meeting. The
chairman should be 'in his place pun.
ctually and keep tiie meeting well in
band. His duty isto preside—not to
_put in a speech at every opportunity.
The musical people should know jusi;
:what they are to sine' and be ready to
.ging it. When the.A are several speak-
ers they shotilti be limited to a certain
length of time. No sea i part of the
guecess of the Montreal .kanive:rcary
atieeti'igs arises from the fee'; that
they apply the ti to limit to every
epa,tker, no matter who lie is nor where
e conies from. The best speakers
rather like the airangement for they
linty what lE expected of them; bores
never like. No man should be put up
es a compliment, or because he maty
take the sulks if he is not naked to say
:, ward. He tna.y go on f .r half an
hour and kill the meet -mg.
