ARABI Bzv`s friends deposing the
Sultan from the caliphate is very much
like apprentices " discharging the bo.s."
SIR JOHN A. MeeporiALD knew what
he was saying when he declined to re-
sign in Carleton, "because he might be
unseated in Lennox." The tricky Pre-
mier has had his seat in Lennox protest-
ed. It is said that if the cue comes into
Court, he will be disqualified.
A CORRESPONDENT bears out the charge
trade against the assessor of Goderich
township in the .New Era last week, but
we prefer to keep from commenting ui•-
on the matter until after the Court of
Revision is held, and the whole thing
comes to light before the judge.
SIR CHARLES TUPPER is again in Great
Britain. The ostensible cause of this
visit is ill -health, but it is said in certain
quarters that the voluble knight has
gone abroad on Syndicate business, he
being a prominent member of that
gigantic monopoly. It is said, too, that
he will shortly resign his place in the
Government, and cone out openly in
his true light.
THE editor of this paper i3 getting
more personal abuse heaped upon him
by anonymous correspondents in Tory
prints than perhaps falls to the lot of
any other member of the press in the
Province. But it is all doneby men who
are ashamed to let themselves be known,
and that is the best proof that there is
but little truth or wit in the stuff.
Scratch any of these anonymous slander-
ers
landerers and'you will find an envious editor,
who,• is unwittingly advertising THE

THE protest against the return of M.
C. Cameron, M. P., has been tiled, and
now the Conservative friends are anxi-
ous to know what will they do next to
prevent a fiasco. ()De of the claims for
voiding the election is understood to be
that certain Tory returning officers were
guilty of placing bof;I:s ballots in the
boxes under their eoatrel. This fact
may void the election; but is it not a
little peculiar that Mr. Cameron should
have to suffer for the sins of omission
and commission of partizan officials.
Sl'IENTIars say that pure new milk is
not a healthy leverage in warns weather.
The milk-v'endots down at Toronto ev-
idently agree with the scientists, an4l
have been adulterating their lacteal
fluid with ,upta pour. The admixture
produced "sky-blue,- and the "sky-
blue" superinduced an investigation by
Inspector Awde.Teat functionary
found that the samples varied from 98
per cent. pare milk dox;i to 75 p.c. A
lady vendor named Mrs. Becket owned
the 7.1 per cent. exiihit, and was, there
fore, Belling 25 per cent of water at the
price of milk. By tl a %%;y in which
Mrs. Becket patronized the water -pail,
it would be no misnomer were her custo-
mers to call her Mrs. Bucket.
THE Star tat week made a nice con-
fession. It stated that Mr. F. W. John-
ston had no knowlei?gc of t`.e "F. W.
J." epistle. Then, we ere to infer that
the; star, made out . f whole cloth
the letter which was alleged to have
been sent to Tns Sreeet, signed "F. W,

comments thereon, treeing the whole
thing to be a concoction; that the for
wantonly appended Mr. Johnetou s ini-
tials to a bogus letter. without hie know-
ledge er consent --knowing at the time
that a criticism would leave tint gentle-
man "poen to ndicule. If the qhs, ad-

have nothing more to say, for the public

The report of the Bureau of Indus-
tries for August contains statistics of the
live stock of the Province as returned
by school section districts on the 31st of
May. and tabulated by counties and
county groups. It also reviews the con-
dition of crops on the 1st of the month,
the progress of haying and harvesting
operations at that date, farm labour and
the rate of wages, and the state of pas-
tures and live stock in relation to meat
supply and dairy produce.
The statistics of live stock are as com-
plete as they could be obtained. No
estimates have been made of thoruogh-
breds for sections fur which returns were
not received, owing to- the difficulty of
finding an average. It is certain that
the full number has not been reported,

From the Winnipeg Times (Con ervaiived
In spite of the intense ho*t, the bat-
tle has fairly begun in or eaio. The
(.lobe is taking matters e•.ully, but the
other Reform papers are working their
batteries with greet vigour. The Op-
positinn in Ontario, like the Opposition
in the Dominion, is weak because it has
no policy and few good men, Mr.
Meredith is a very able and honourable
mean, but Clear is nit a legion. Mr.
Lauder has been in the Legislature since
1867, and is rood -laking and weighs
204) pounds, and that is all that can be
said of biro in a friendly way. Mr.
Morris is well known in Winnipeg. lin
his defect in Selkirk, he appeared in
East Toronto where he was returned by
a small majority, which was reduced at
a general election in 1879 He is a
veteran q.olit.ician of the second ,class,
but there is too Inuch Morris in his coni -
position. Mr. Reid Boll, tho member
for West Toronto, has had long exper-
ience as a ward wire -puller and a work-
ingman's candidate. for almost every
Office in the gift of the people, but that
sort of training does not commend him
to the confidence of the electors. Mr.
Merrick, wh', empires to the Treasurer-
ship, is an active business man, of un-
sullied character, and no little ability,
and he would fill the office satisfactorily.
Here ends the hat of the Conservatitle
leaders, for Mr. McMaster, the beet man
in the House next to Mr. Mtieredith, has
entered the D,aninion Parliament.
With so weak a front rank, the Opposi-
tion cannot escape defeat. Even if Mr.
Meredith were reinforced by menolike
Mr. Bunting, Mr. Wallace of Norfolk,
Mr. it. H. Gibbs and other unsuccess-
ful Dominion candidates. he would
not he able to meet the Govern
ment unequal terns, for he has no
policy. The cry of ec,r-..my is not a
telling one. Everybody is aware that as
the country grows, Provincial as well as
Dominion expenditure must increase in
like pruportoon. Mr. Meredith. it is safe
to say could not eut down Mr. Mowat's
e.tilnates 410,000; while to contend, as
some Conservative journals do, that he
c-tuld return to handheld Macdonald's
figures of 1871, is simply to trifle with
comnen seise. Mr. Meredith can only
win en the economy platform, by mak-
ing it brad enough for independent
P.eforme» to
stand upon; and that can
be clone only by adricating a reduction
in the number of members of the Legis-
lature. arc, and biennial sectWith tth such
a 1."licy and with new men behind it,
the leader of the Oppeition might win;
hut just now he appears to be going on
a f,.rlurn hope, witn as ragged a hand of
followers as ever fell at the Pella

The number of marks possible to be ob-

the candidates who paved at the ex-

A DARING EECONNO1*$ANCE
Alexandria, Aug. 15. -Lieutenants
Smith and Dorian of the Invincible, and
Hamilton, of the Alexandra, on Monday
night waded across the Mahmoudieh
Canal and Mariout Lake. The water
was only ankle deep. They advanced
within 600 yards of the enemy's lines,
and then retired to report upon the result
of the enterprise- The report is as f•d-
lows :
" lieutenant Hamilton and myself,
after proceeding cautiously without es-
cort about seventeen miles, arrived at
3.30 o'clock Tuesday morning within
three hundred yards of the enemy's cav-
alry camp- The night was very dark.
We were unable to get details of their
position, and therefore decided to find a
point which would enable us to see the
camp when daylight broke. We had not
moved thirty yards when the enemy's
picket maw us, and showed • bright light,
wMch was directly answered all slung
the line. We ran about a mile, and en-
tered the lake about 10) yards. The
enemy pursued us, and spread them-
selves

my's system of signalling with lights is
excellent, our movements being Clashed
by the nearer. 1111111 and ausweied along
the line. I presume the enemy did not
fire in order not to alarm any force we
might have near. We tied a white hand-
kerchief to a pole in expectation of being
captured,but afterwards decided to make
another attempt to escape. At four
o'clock in the morning we we.it 100 yards
further into the lake, and lay down in
two feet of water. The -enemy losing
sight of us, retired. At 4.45 we rose,
made a long detour, and returned to the
English camp."
A Hemarease canary.
The power of imitation p.seeesed by
birch of the parrot tribe has long been
familiarly known, and it would not be
difficult to find nntnerous examples of
even well-educated members id the
genus in this respect. The vocal powers
of canaries, however, are not usually re-
garded as being equal to the production
of articulate sounds resembling those
made by the human voice. But there
is at present in the possession of Dr. J.
McGregor Croft, mays the (Britiah) Medi-
cal Prey, a little songster of this de-
scription, which, besides giving utter-
ance to delicious warblings, is also ablb
to "talk" with a clearness and precision
simply marvdllous. Somewhat sceptical
of the accounts we had received of this
animal wonder, we have, says the Press,
through the kindness of Dr. Croft, had
an opportunity of directly proving the
truth of the statements made concerning
it. The canary does veritably speak,
and enunciates a number of sentences
which are clearly imitative of the voice
of the lady who les had are of it since
its early youth. The effect, indeed, pro-
duced by the clear, sweetly uttered sen-
tences pronounced by the hind is almost
weird at first; but the feeling of wonder
thus created quickly gives rise t-. a sen-
atien of exquisite pleasure, shich is
deepened as the 'Ittie creature suddenly
at the end of a sentence rushes of into
eatacy of s.,nu. As illustrating the ex-
quisite pliability of the laryngeal appara-
tus ..1 small birds, and the extent b.
which training may he carried in such
ase., the tiny animal is deeply igterest-
ilig t., physiologists As a mere ('1111.5

tracts from his letter have bete made
public:
This is a groat country and it is diffi-
cult to gauze the capabilities of it.
They may be great and they may be
very disappointing. One thing is certain,
there is money to be made here for the
next two or three yeara. After that I
do nut know, but 1 am of the opinion at
present that the party whoa has his real
estate realized upon then will be heist
off. I do not say this in depreciation of
the country. Crises conte in all countries
at certain states of their existence, but
all the circumstance point specially t,
such a state of things in a much larger
degree of severity than has ever been
experienced in old Canada. I trust 1
may be wrong in my progn.atication,
hu:; the moment • surplus is raised in
this country 1 do not want to own much
property in it.
The land ptolicy of the Government is
simply abominable. You cannot tell
what a day or an hour may bring forth,
and actual settlers aro disgusted. The
cloud en the political horizon here is
already a geaal dee] Nigger than a man's
Mand, and will some day not far in the
distant future hunt on the heads of the
present Government, and retribution
will be swift and sure. They begin to
see the handwriting en the wall al-
ready, hence the dread of bringing on
the Intal elections announced. if Pre-
mier Norluay went to the country to-

The work done at liamleh by the Hiles
is more than calculated to bring ridicule
upon the style of ornamental shooting
which Canada spend 47,000 ayear t.. perpe-
tuate at Wimbledon. The cavalry was from
304 to 500 yards distant, serving as a tar-
get. and only two men were wounded.
Had the British fined themselves es they
do at Wimbledon, where their position
makes them resemble amateur contortion

hal a surveyor t, chain off the distance
and had their sights properly elevated,
they might have succeeded in dung some-
thing. But the Egyp. tan cavalry would
have ridden all over them in the mean-

The new Irish Land Com•atiseioucr,
Lord Monck, will be remembered as a
former Governor General of Canada,the
first after Confederation. He is a man of
solid ability and advanced Liberal views.
He was born in Templemore, County
Tipperary, in 1819, and is the sun of the
third Viscount Monck. In 1847 he wasan
uneuocessful candidate for the House of
C'nimona from Wicklow as • Tory, but
in 1852 he was elected for Portsm.,uth as
a Liberal. Hewes a Lord of the Treasury
and whipper in from 1855 to 1868. In
1871 he was appointed a Commissioner
of National Ednation in Ireland, and
was also .ane of the Church O ommiuton-
ers. in 1866 Ile was ,app ointed a peer of
the t'nited Kin:dom. He ,named in 1844
his cousin, daughter of the Earl of Rath-
downe. He is re4ard.tl es a good landlord.
