Canadian .,Nationality.
Hon. Alex. Mackenzie, Premi r of
Canada, delivered an interesting address
at the annual festival of the Caledonian
"Society, of Montreal, on Hallowe'en. .In
referring to the presence and services of
Scotsmen in Canada, he remarked on
the importance and growth of a Canadian
nationality, and said—In speaking for a
, few moments upon topics that a feeling
'of nationality naturally arouses, we must
never forget that we live in a land where
it serves no good purpose` to maintain
those feelings that are peculiarly strong
of a purely national character, when we
are engaged here in building up a new,
and we trust ever a more prominent and
enduring nationality. My friend, the
President, says that.Sootsmen have been
blamed, and blamed, he says, justly for
having too much of the feeling that is
commonly called clannishness. I doubt
that exceedingly. My conviction is that
your average:. Scotsmen will go- to trade
with an Irishman sooner than with his
own countryman if he can make a six-
pence by it ; and I should be sorry in-
deed if that feeling that is alluded to as
a feeling of clannishness should in any
thing prevent that true unity of purpose
which must characterize our people if
they are to become a great people—as I
believe'' they will—upon this 'continent.
We have all come here, no doubt, proud
of all we have to look back to as descend-
ants of a noble race, whether of English-
men, Irishmen, or Scotsmen. The Scots-
men, from their comparative smallness of
numbers, must always, of course, take a
back seat in the, presence of the Irish
and English multitudesthat throng every
place.
Now, sir, you. remarked to -night that
I reached the position I happen to
occupy officially by dint of perseverance.
I am afraid. I reached it, to a great ex-
tent, in consequence of the veryeat
forbearance which my Irish and English
co -patriots have exhibited ; and I am
quite sure that I speak for - the entire
body of Scotsmen who live in Canada
when I say they will as cheerfully serve
under an Irish or English Premier a
they did for many a day, and as they d
under one who belongs to their own peb
ple by birth. :. Many years ago, when th
population was scant, a few hundre
thousand Englishmen, Irishmen,or Scots
men could, intheir national position, ex
erase a material influence upon the poli
tics of this country, upon its social ad
vancement, and upon all that tends to
make a nation great. That time= has all
gone past. The population of the Do-
minion now ih about four millions of.
souls. The population is almost entire-
ly, so to speak, born in Canada by that
mixture of races of the old land which is
everywhere to be found ; and when I say
"Old Country," I embrace, of course,
Great Britain and Irelandin reference to
the English population ; but we have
also in this country a vast French popu-
lation which unites as heartily as any
other nationality in building up our com-
mon country. No better evidence of the
growth of a purely Canadiannational feel-
ing and: of the fact that native Canadians
occupy the greater number of prominent
places • ot the country can be adduced
than this, that in the present adminiatra
tion, consisting of thirteen members. I'
am the only one who is not a native Can-
adian. Native Canadians must of necea-
sity berising on every side ten, twenty,
thirty, forty or fifty to one of those that
have been born in other places, and all
that we have to do is to join in with
those native Canadians, our own children
being amongst them, to build up a pow-
erful nationality possessing, we trust,
all the exoellent characteristics of our
native country, and possessing these
characteristics without the alloy that is
to be found in the old settled country.
We have many disadvantages to contend
with in our land. Those who visit Great
Britain, the acenes of their childhood,
mayhap, or the scenes of the childhood
of their fathers or mothers, cannot but
be struck with the wonderful difference
that exists between that country and
this. On every hand there they find
historical spots upon which some of the
great battles which decided the fate of
nations have been fought, or the remains
of some of those grand old feudal castles
that tell of another time, when the rights
of man, the rights of the multitude, were
not so well understood as they are at the
present time. None can visit these old
places without having their minds carried
back to the scenes and incidents in the
history of our native land which awaken
within us regret, anger; or some of those
.other passions which enter into the dis-
cussions of almost every subject that af-
fects man's life. With us here we have
nothing of the kind. All we can say is
we have a big and fertile country. All
we can say is that the sum of human
'happiness has been largely increased, we
believe, by the settlement of a country
such as this, where, every one of our fel-
low -citizens may have a hold upon the
soil, where 'there are no feudal lords, no
ancient laws of primogeniture, no laws of
entail, but where the land is distributed,
and its sale and possession are,. made
free and easy to eyery'portion of our peo-
ple.
Having referred to the condition of
European nations, the ` Premier further
remarked—Our true mission as Cana-
dians on this new, this virgin soil,on this
place where we have to record incidents
which will be read a thousand years af-
. terwards by our descendants; is to con-
sider not the most favorable spot in which
to meet our enemies in mortal combat,
but to meet to decide what is the best to
promote social progress. We have be-
fore us in Canada, I have no doubt, a
great history. We ;lave before us a most
tnagnifiuent country, and we have room
for the teeming millions of Europe,
whether the are Scotsmen, Irishmen. or
Englishmen, or whether they come from
the Teutonic countries which first peo-
pled our own land, or whether
we have them from France; that
pioneer of Great Britain in wes-
tern civilzation in Europe. , All these
nations mak pour their millions into our
country, and we have room and verge
for the whole of them. But, while we
have no objection at all to meet occasion-
ally as we do to -night, to speak of old
things, to speak of times which were
wonderful to our forefathers, though not
to us ; while °I have no objection to -meet
with the Englishman, to meet with ¶he
Irishman, and to speak otaall that is great
and glorious in the history of 'our coun-
tries, I do hope the time will never come
when we shall carry national quarrels
and national characteristics into our social
life in this country.

How Tvd.C_rr Rm; :og FLEAs.—A cor-
respondent of the English Mechanic men-
tions that some years ago, when -unpack-
ing a case that came from abroad: he
found himself coyered with fleas, and
they swarmed over the warehouse to
such an extent as to become quite . un-
bearable. After trying many things to
get rid of this iin*velcome imports, a
friend recommended oil of pennyroyal.
Short bits of coarse cord unravelled,
Saturated with the oil, and strewed
about the warehouae, acted like magic ;
in twelve hours not a flea was to be
seen.
The Moth.
This' little insect, so destructive in our
households, is known to naturalists by
the name of tinea, and belongs to the
family of the lepictoptera, or scaly -wing-
ed insects, of which it is the smallest,
the . most beautiful, and the most °,de-
structive. It is second cousin to the
canker -worm, the apple -worm and the
turpentine moth, but among its aristo-
cratic and honorable relations is the
silk -worm. The immediate family. re-
latives of the common moth are the bee
moth, the carpet moth, the Hair moth,
the grain moth, anti` the pack moth. As
soon as the egg laid by the mother moth
is hatched,• straightway the tiny worm
proceeding from it begins to feed upon
the fabric to which it is fastened, and
spins itself a cocbon, in which it moves
freely, and unseen, and from which it
e erges in due time a butterfly. In
M y or June these winged insects de-
poeit heir eggs. Before this time every-
thing hey can harm should beylaced
beyon their reach. Before putting
away ur or woollen goods they .should
be th roughly beatento dislodge any
eggs that may have been deposited on
them, and exposed to the sun and air for
hours.. It is said that brushing over
their retreats with turpentine will dis-
lodge them ; that camphor, black pep-
per, tobacco, shavings of Russia leather,
will disgust them that camphor wood
and cedar trunks are free from their
visitations : and that corrosive subli-
mate washings, sulphur fumigations, and
the action of heat and steam, will de-
stroy
them.Prevention is the boat cure.
If furs and woollens are carefully sealed
up in paper cases, or put away in chests
and trunks which the moth -fly cannot
penetrate, they are safe. Fabrics al-
ready attacked by them should be beaten
and sunned repeatedly; and the ravages
will be checked. This little insect loves
darkness, and hides its evil doings from
the fight of day. To keep it from plush
furniture, etwice a' year, on a bright
sunny day; take theifurniture out of
doors, remove the bbttoms from the
chairs, if they can be'removed, and give
the: cushions a good switching with
long, pliable switches, till the dust is re-
moved. Then brush them thoroughly.
While the cushions are being sunned,
give the frames a coat of varnish. Let
the furnitjre remain in the sun nearly
all day.
A valuable Invention -- Q. Man
Lies Down in a Fire.
Thefaculty of remaining in the water
for a greater or Tess period of time, which
has been enjoyed by mankind ever since
the existence of the element itself, seems
likely to be extended to fire, in the event
of a fire -proof dress, the invention of a
Swedish officer, Captain Ahlstrom, and
which has come triumphant out of every
trial, proving ultimately successful. At
a recent experiment in Silesia, four heaps,
consisting of logs of wood, were arranged
in the ,form of a square, well covered.
with shavings and saturated with pe-
troleum. They were then set - light to,
and ,speedily became a mass of flames,
Intoltbis fiery furnace,. the glowing heat
of which kept the spectators at a respect-
ful distance, stepped Captain Ahlstrom,
clad in his fire -proof dress. He moved
freely about in the restricted space-='
some four feet square—formed by the
heaps, leaning from time to time quite
unconcernedly against the blazing piles,
and, finally, taking his seat upon one of
the heaps, glowing with intense heat, he
reclined there with as much nonchalance
as though it had been 'a sofa. He re-
mained thirty minutes in the flames
without suffering in the: smallest degree
from the heat. Next day an experiment
was made in the Hohenzollern mine,
with the view of seeing whether the ap-
paratus . would avail in the event of an
explosion of fire -damp or any analogous
_accident. The principal of the gym-
nasium, who volunteered to test it per-
sonally,descended into a space which had.
been shut off from the rest of the nine
and filled with gas, andremained there
for twenty minutes without experiencing
the slightest inconvenience from the
poisonous atmosphere. Captain AhIstrom
has sold his invention to Prussia for 50,-
000 marks.
Cateoheesin' the Minister.
" Wandering Willie contributes the
following to the Dundee People's Jour -
Baal :—In 1847 ministerial visitations ex-
isted in the parish: of Newhills, Aber-
deenshire. ' 1 wasn't very old then, and
was addicted -CO dancing the Lonach
Hielan' Fling in ;church—with two
fingers, I mean, on the desk in front of
me, being then a pupil of Dancie Gough
—but, young as! I was, I'll - never forget
the tall old parson that, Sunday after
Sunday, thumped out the law from the
pulpit. A kinder man never breathed,
but no one ever slept under him. He
scolded his parishioners right and left,
and would just as soon. pitch down the
Bible on a snorer as take a pinch of
snuff. He was a staunch Calvinist,
hate& the Free Kirk hotly, said there
was only. one road to heaven, which my
youthful fancy took to be the ventilating
hole in the roof of the church, because
Mr. A— prayed with his eyes open,
and always kept them fixed on that
hole. The precentor used to drone out
the intimation of the visitation in- the
same sing -psalm tone he used to "hereby
intimate a purpose of marriage." Old
and young—father, mother, and off-
spring -used to meet the great man in,
the appointed barn, all ressed in,their
Sunday -go -meeting gar is and solemn
Sunday faces. Your o tributor says
the minister must have e revered by
the youngsters.' I.shou d think be was.
It would be queer inde d if you didn't
revere a man who ma e your' mother
quake, was patronising to, grand -da, and
actually said " Look here, James," to
the schoolmaster himself. I remember
this sante Mr'A fethhing me such a
stinger with his cane gross one . end of
me, while I was innocently bending down
over some old cQffn boards, looking for a
suitable piece for a stock for my cross-
bow. "Reverence the dead, you young
rascaI," he cried. I revered him then if
I hadn't before. - My sister Nelly and I
were,' like most Scottish children, well
'up in Bible history and the " Catachis,"
and we used to nudge each other and
smile softly at the answers some of our
seniors used to give the minister. "Loeb,
Willie" I heard', one archin say to
another after an N V., " sic aule yer
father is. He tauld the minister it was -
Noah that crossed the Red Sea." "Wool,
Jock," said Willie, " a'body kens my
father's a fule ; but, man ! didna my
wither ding hien (the minister) wi' Ef-
fectual Gallin'." - I remember a very
little, very old, stubbly-chinned'woman,
who used to come crawling to the barn
invariably with her Bible rolled in a
clean white handkerchief and the Ortho-
dox ' ` bittie o' rhyme " pressed against
it. Her examination used to be a treat.
She was certainly a burning and a shin-
ing light as regards Scripture history,,
and we used to think knew more than
the minister. : " Weel, Maggie, the lat-
ter would kindly commence, " and, hoo
axe ye ?" " Just waitin', air, to be
translatit in God's guid time, but lair
forfochen wi' an ill host," Maggie would
reply, witta mournful groan. But Mag-
gie used to wax more lively as the ex-
amination proceeded. She was just as
willing to show all she knew as his
reverence was to draw her out, as au ex-
ample to the listeners. With what glee
Maggie would tell the story ,of Joseph
the Good, linger over the history of the
children of x" Iseraul, or tell in her
honest. broad Doric the persecution of
" Dauvid the Sweet Singer " by " that
daft loon Saul," let those who heard her
call to mind. - The best of it .was that
she always talked as though the events
of Biblical history had- happened only
about a week,.ago. But the minister
used to think it time to sheer off when
she began to put such questions to him
as, " But fat think ye o' Amos, sir, the
herdsman o' , Tekoa. Wasna he--"
" Wheesht, wheesht, Maggie," his rev-
erence would protest, " ye maunna tate-
cheese the minister." . Well, -Maggie's
"host" is better now, for Maggie is in
the mools ; but where will ye find such
faith now -a -days ?
One Cow a Mine ot Wealth
The history of the shorthorn cow,
Duchess 66th, which was sold in .1853,
at Earl Ducie's sale, in England, to Col,
Morris, of Fordham, for 700 guineas, or
$3, 675, is _ remarkable, as showing the
actual value of one good breeding ani-
mal. Froin this cow, which was calved
in November,. 1850, there may be traced
in direct descent a number of animals
which have sold for about $500,000. Let
it be admitted that as much of this
value as may be is depending on fancy
or rich breeders, and is not the -in-
trinsic_ ♦alue of the beef and milk pro-.
dilced ; yet no one can help admitting
that an immense value, estimated in
these alone, has accrued to the world
from this cow ; and in proportion to
this value may be estimated the profit
to a breeder from any superior animal he
may produce. A line of breeding' ani-
mals is brought intoexistence which
spreads out fan like, and diverges year
by year wider and wider, until we can
no longer reach the bounds of the ben*r
ficial influence. It is in this that lies
the value of any good animal, and it is
an unfair disparagement to confine its
value to the weight of meat upon';' its
carcass, or its produce in wilk and but-
ter. The breeder who produces a superi-
or animal sets in motion an impulse
which must in time spread and increase
enormously, and far Ieyond .computa-
tion. —American Agric 3lturst.
