FIUUPA1 , ./.4 N. 18, 1888.
A raw days ago there was presented in
the United States Senate the memorial
of the Constitutional Convection of the
Territory of Utah praying for admission
into the Union as a State, which was re-
ferred to the Committee on Territories.
Utah was organized a Territory of the
United States on Sept. 9, 1850. Its area
is 81,970 square miles. There will prob-
ably be a warm discussion over the ques-
tion of granting the prayer of the meal.
oriel, as the admission of Utah would
complicate the Mormon difficulty, and
Probably greatly strengthen the re-
sisting power of that powerful institu-
tion.
Ix is not much wonder that Queen Vic-
toria called her first born to order when
it is stated that Albert Edward, Prince
of Wales, presented slugger Sullivan with
a handsome gold watch, nicely engraved,
as a token of his appreciation of the
bruiser. There is a certain class of in-
dividuals in old England that this pre.
sentation business may suit, for instance
persons who would rather go to a dog
fight than to a concert or the like but it
is very little satisfaction to the ratepay-
ers who are heavily taxed to keep up
royalty to know that part of their hard
earnings go to purchase a watch for a
bully who, in some of his tantrums, has
assaulted his wife, the diniug room girl
in a hotel, doe. His Royal Highness may
have a penchant for prize fights but it
does not raise hint any in the eetimation
of those who would be expected to sing,
if our good Queen were gone,
"Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us, &c."
Ir is hinted that there is a probability
of the Orangemen of this County holding
their annual celebration in town if Brus-
sels will aid them in arranging the pre-
liminary work, such as securing a band,
building arches, arranging seating ac-
commodation and the like. None will
deny but that the bringing of several
thousand people to our town for a day
would mean a good many dollars left iu
the place and although some may say it
all goes to the hotelkecpers, everybody
should understand that the butcher, bak-
er, grocer and others share in the receipts
indirectly. Itis is altogether likely that
the Howiok ledges would come to Brus-
sels and Listowel might be induced to do
likewise. An effort is being made to
draw all these gatherings to the cities
bot let us look after home first and then
vto the welfare of others. We think
Brussels would be pursuing a wise course
to ask J. H. Young and other members
of Brussels and local lodges to use their
best endeavors to have the next 12th of
July celebration held in town. Some-
body says it will be mouths before that
date. We are aware of that but the
question of celebrations will come up for
discussion at the County Lodge, to be
held in Gorrae, on Feb. 7th, so that now
is the time to move.
WE bespeak a large attendance at the
various sessions of the Farmers' Insti-
tute to be held in the Town Hall, Brus-
sels, on Friday and Saturday of this
week. In addition to the papers of Prof.
Penton, of the-Ontar io Agricultural Col-
lege, and S. Rennie, the holder of the
gold medal for the prize farm in Ontario,
the leading agriculturalists of our Riding
areexpeoted to be present and join in the
diecussions. The way to make these
gatherings a success is for everybody to
go with the expectation of getting and
giving all the information possible, and
with this as the prime object there will
be heartiness and warmth in the debate
that will ensure success. The members
''of'the various Debating Sooieties and
Farmers' Clubs should be in attendance.
Prof. Panton, who has already made a
visit to this section, is a fluent speaker,
and his address on Friday evening should
draw a full house. The farmers of to -day
are, as a rule, reading men and are gen.
orally conversant with the leading ques-
tions of the day and for this reason these
Institutes, being held all over Ontario,
are meeting with great success. The
topics discussed are of vital importance
to the tiller of the soil and should, at
least, have magnetism , enough about
them to induce the proem= of the
farmers of this section. Let there be a
big turn -out.

The lamest gun ever mounted on a

Ausralian colonies for coast defences.
The gun is concealed in a pit until the
moment of firing, whet it is lifted in pos-
ition by pneumatic power derived from a
recoil arrangement. Mirrors permit of
the sighting of the gun before it israieed.
Tho gun weighs about thirty tons. The

Prof. Geo. H. Thompson, of Reading,
Pa., has just had patented a "life•saving
brink." The invention consists of a hol-
low steel brick to be colored the hue of
any ordinary brick. The brinks are to
be firmly cemented and anchored in the
front wall of aoy building, two feet apart
running from bottom to top. They are
so construoted that a lireman or any one
can touch them in front and instantly a
steel rung of a ladder pushes itself out.
The man can climb up any height secure-
ly and safely, as the steel steps are strong
enough to bear a ton. A company will
be formed at once to manufacture the
brick.
How cold the dark water of Lake
Superior is 1 One evening when we were
steaming across that lake I asked the
mate what was done when a man fell
overboard. He coolly replied, ',Nothing,"
"Why7" Iasked, astonished at hie heart-
lessness. "The water of Lake Superior
is so gold that a man cannot live in it
;during the time it takes to stop a rapidly
moving veesel and lower a boat," he re-
plied. Then he added: "I have sailed on
this lake for twenty years. During that
time I have known many ,can to fall off

escaped death. He was saved by a
scratch. The others were apparently
killed by the shook produced by falling

minutes." I drank deeply, and it was as
though liquid ice flowed down my throat,
"It is alleged," the mate said, "that this
lake never gives op its dead, that to be
drowned in Lako Superior is to be buried
for all time. I do not knots whether this
is true or not, but 1 no know that I have
never seen a 0Urp8e floating on the
