Prof, Milts, of the Guelph Agricul-
tural College, in one of his many excel-
lent addresses lately delivered, stated
that not more than 2 per cent. of the
men engaged in mercantile life were
successful, while 75 per pent. of the
farmers were succeasful an& proper-
ous. Farming was At least a safe, sure,
independent and honorable calling,
though large fortunes may be made
at

eeived in many public schools did not
flit boys for earning their living on
the farm. 'poo much time was taken
with geography, mathematics and the
details of grammatical analysis, while

The following from the public
accounts show what Sir Chas. Tupper
cost the country during the fiscal year
of '88-84:—Salary as minister of rail-
ways, $6,226; as High commisssioner,
$1•,01.8; on account of removal expen-
ses from Ottawa, to London, $835f as
travelling expenses, $850; indemnity,
$1,000.; contingencies, $3,997; stat
ionery, $2.50; amount of checks drawn
in I+i:iland on Bank of Montreal $4-
fe48; travelling expenses charged .to
immigration contingencies $814; mise
cellaneous, $115. Totel, 19,031.50.
The question arises what. has Sir
Charles done for the country that h s
should be paid such an enormous
amount. We think. it will• puzzle
many to answer this. The fact is the
country has been paying the aforesaid
politician too much money, and it is
e high time this reekless extravagance
was stopped. We are being governed
by men, who in the end,if'their pre-
sent policy is coutinued, will brine
the country to ruin.
The chief apostle of the dynanthers
O'Dono•s an Roma, has had a dose o','
his ,own nielieine, and his experience
should prove a warning to the advo-
cates of the diabolical policy wherever
they are found. This cowardly preach
er of violence and destruction has had
a narrow escape from speedy death,
but Isis time will come yet. A man
who would rejoice as he did because

the whole civilized world, such as the
late dastardly attack ou the British
House of Parliament and Tower of
London --outrages in whish many in-
nocent persons were injured --arid who
has never misled an oppertnnity of
urging lawless men to adopt such cow-
ardly tactics, cannot expect to escape

ROSSA: SAM
At twelve minutes. past Ellie o'claek
on Monday afternoon,. as O'Donovan
1•tossa was passing in front of the
Stewart building on the cornier ei
Broadway anal Chambers street, he
was approached by a handsome young
lady, dressed in plain clothes.. She
wore spectacles and had the appearance
of an intellectual -looking school teach-
er. She drew a live -barrelled revel -
ver from her pocket, and leveliing it
at him, and fired one shot. Rosen
threw his hands above his head

He then fell heavily to the sidewalk.

She was followed by a large crowd,
whi.e sti.l a 1• reser mob surrounded
the wounded dynamiter. City Mar-
shal James McAuley, in the absence of
the policemen, saw the revolver in the
woman'e haul and arrested her. She
was conducted to the Twenty-si±tlt
Precint Station House in the City
Hall. Her inperturable gravity and
coolness of demeanor were remarkable
when arraigned at the Sergeant's desk.
McAuley handed the revolver, a small
calibre five shooter, tc the Sergeant,
and said he found the woman flourish-
ing the weapon on the street. A cite;,
zen who went into the peace station
with the prisoner said she had .just
shot a man on Chambers street. "Do
