Another advantage to be -derived from the bush being left on -the bluffs of this country, , is. that the rainfall is more -evenly distributed throughout the sum - k mer sewn) thus making thunder storms of less frequent -occurrence andmiolence, the rain generally failing in nice, steady showers. We have not had more than one or two heavythunder storms durink'any -summer yet since I have been here, and ,coly one doing any -damage, it being ac- companied with hail. • . The crops here this season were gen- -crony good, except late sown *grain, Which was cut by frost about the 6th and 7th of September, that being the first frost to do any harm, but all early sown grain4was cut before it came, and is as fine a sample as any person Would wish to see. There is no rust on the -wheat in this part of the country, the. atraw being nice and clear, and as yd. - _low as gold. Root crops and garden vegetables of all kinds d* well in this • country and are a splendid crop. -Pota- toes, especially, are a fine crop, and grow to an enormous size, lots of them . weighing from two to four pounds. The climate is healthy, being always cool at night in the summer time ; not that op- pressive heat being felt which is preva- lent throughout southern Ontario. The -winters are cold and steady after setting in,not 20gegrees below zero ene day and raining the next, but a steady cold, the thermometer ranging from zero to 20°' - below, with an occasional dip to 300, and 400 below for a day or two at *line - only The only great disadvantage of this part of the country at the present time is the want of a railroad, a want which we hope will be supplied ere long, - as the Canadian Pacific Railway have - promised to build a branch from Sud— bury to Sault Ste Marie, and which is already constructed to Algoma Mills, leaving the distance now to be built only aboet 90 miles. Times here this fall are quiet, there being no ties taking out, but there is good times in the lum- ber woods not very far distant, and • good wages, and as a consequence nearly • all of the settlers are gOing off to put in the winter in the lumber shanties: Mining is also going on at full blast in the silver mine :at Garden River, known as the Cascade mine. The in- dustrious settler need not want in these parts, as there is always plenty of work in the winter time in easy reach, and when he could. not be doing much at home on his land, he can leave ethe ‘` glad wife" and family at home to at- tend the bit of stock he may have, and Ite can go and always earn the` necessa- ries of life and thus keep there comfor- table. Schools, churches, postoffices, stores, and • such like are within easy teach of all, and no feer of being lost in a blizzard going to or from them and plenty of wood to keep warm when at home.

Ncr shington Letter. • (Froro. ur Regular Correspondent.) 1 Astra-No.1.0N, D. Ca, Nov. 24, 1886. • A walk summer a astonishme the transfo absence.. ington is p city in the hand of t new design New street are opened and paved with asphalt. -Vast public buildings are rear- ed. Drear/ wastes Of ground. meta- morphosed into veMant parks.. The Distriet G vernment that has done so much to make the capital the pride of the American people, has not been idle -- all summer. Its energY is specially - manifest by new asphalt pavements, and the improvementsueon Washington's parks ; and the littre triangular green patches, which form wherever the ob- lique avenues cross the right -angular streets, also indicate much care and -cul- tivation. provision is soon to be made for planting shade trees on Pannsyl- vania avenne, which now presents a beautiful smooth stretch of asphalt from the Cepitol' to the south gate pf the Treasury -Department, marred only by a car track down its centre. Every after - Dome at fur o'clock, the outpour from the Government departments mingles with fashion in a promenade upon the north sidewalk, in contrast with the almost deserted south side of the ave- nue. • It ie curious, this fact of Pennsyl- vania avenue, that almost all its foot traffic and the majority of its business is upon the north side, while its south- ern sidewalk is itoare and uninviting. The exterior appearance of the White House, its design and architecture, is Indeed something of an eye -sore to the, denizens of the National Capital, but it is amusing: to hear or read of the inti- mations always rife at this season, re- flecting upon the niggardly policy of Congress in relation to the furnishing of the Mansion _ for the next 'winter. In truth the interior could never be judged correctly from the outside appearance. It possesses all the splendor and oomfort that could well be wished. All the par- lors, save the Blue Room and East Room were entirely refitted in 1881, and the latter, the great reception Tom of the house, was refurnished at that time. The following season the Blue Room was eoenpletely regilded, patched and gar- nished, and many general alterations and repairs made. In short, more has been bought for and done to the White House m the past four years than probably ever was done in the same length of time in its history. Of late, sight seers have been -more restricted in visiting the President's house than previously, large public receptions have seldom been given, and the permanent occupants of the mansion have been fewer than ever be- fore. Still it costs a good deal to keep the building in order, and those who Wender why it costs so much should get a peep at some of the bills that the stew- ard and the Commissioner of Public Buildings have to pay. Painting the White House alone costs -The expense for fuel is enor- mens,as the conservatory consumes a great deal of coal. The wear and tear of the furniture in the white House ex- ceeds that in any first-class hotel in the I bout the city surprises the sentee, and expressions of t are heard on all sides at mations effected during their rapid improvement Wash- thaps the most remarkable orld. Each year the magic e ,builder works surprises in of brick, stone and mortar. • ; e*eeseeessesere • land. The dear people, to the number of 500 or more a day, insist upon plant. ing their substantial feet deep in the Axminster carpets and examining the draperies and upholstery ad lib, and then wonder why they wear out so scion. If the net, carpet on the East Room, which was put down last year, is already beginning to 'look worn, the couse is .directly traceable to the tramping feet of the citizen tourist as he mkrches with - dazed eyes through the glories of his Thiele Sanzuel's only official residence,. The question of a new Executive Man- sion has alwaYs been mooted, and the improvement came very near being authorized by the forty-seventh coil- . gress. It is said now that if the Presi- dent would, say the word he. could have the pleasure of initiating a really splen- did improvement; that if he will recom- mend in his annual message the con- , stntotion of a new executive residence south of the present .building, as pro- vided for in the bill which passed the Senate last year, and thotransformation of the present building into ,an execu- tive office,' he can have the authority, to begin the work before Febreary.- . I The city is now rapidly filling up With senators, Members, lobbyists, claimants, and office -seekers, and in a little more than one short week the law -makers will be hard at work; and bills for the relief of Mrs. Sam Jones and Mrs. John -Smith ad infinitum, will fly in thick and fast; only to be tabled and allowed to rest, and in most cases until the claimant is beyond the enjoyment of this world's goods. • LeNoe. Canadian Independence: To the Editor of Tim Hinton EXPOSITOR. • t ' DEAR Sfite-2-in your paper of the 6th ult. there . appears .a correspondence signed "Business" which is intended as a criticism. of a letter written by me, which appeared in your issue of the 255h September last. ' It can hardly be, styled as such however, as I am glad to find thative agree hi nearly: everything, ex- cept the remedy for existing evils. i There are two or threeEaters on which your correspondent t4kes issue *agast my views, and with these 1 shall in deal briefly. He says'"The ibenefilts I hope to derive from Independence are somewhat visionary," and, in !answer to that I would say, that on all natters of the kind in question, where tie change vindicated, has not become _eta actual fact, and cannot be demonstrated by actual experience, .the same charge might be made even with respect to an- nexation, which he looks to as being the panacea for all our ills. • The Chief ground on which I favored Indepen- dence was " that Our colonial connec- tion was a barrier in the way of eirn- igration,".and, as a proof of this, I;cal- led attention to the absence., of German and Scandinavian immigrants to this country as compared with the United States, and I further stated' that such absence was largely owing to the preju- dice of these people against monarchies or colonies subject to monarchy, and I can only say to your correspondent that I did so en the strength of actual inter course with and reasons given by thee people themselves, and this, together with the fact of their absence from the country, wes sufficient evidence to in - dime me to arrive,. at the conclusion which I did. . But, should. your cor- respondeet still he skeptioal as to 'the existing prejudices, I would 'call his at- tention to the following statistics. Of the 5,648,000 emigrants from Great Britain and Ireland during the last 32 years ending . 1884, British America re-. ceived 576,000, Australasia, 1,111,000, . and the United States 3,730,000; or. British America one or wiery two that went to Australia, and one for every ten who settled in the United States. Now, .the above figures shows that there is either .something seriously wrong with this country, either in its climatic con-- ditions oi. otherwise (which we do not admit), or else that the prejudice men- tioned is not confined to foreign coun- tries, but extends to -Great. Britain as well. • .. • 1 further stated that Independence would in time do away with the desire among certain_ Glasses of Canadians for Annexation, and with this • statement your correspondent entirely differs. Ile says, "it would increase and intensify the desire and be a stepping -Stone there- to, and as such," he says, "himself and thousands of others would welcome it." Well, then, he ought to go in heart and soul for Independence if -he is of. that opinion, because I fear it will be a lon time before he could carry Annexation as, a fair and square issue before the penple. "-. These are about the only points of difference he raises, and with the rest of , his letter, except the remedy, .An- nexation, I most heartily!, agree; and while I differ with him on this point, he has just as good a right to his opinion as 1 lave, and tamglad to see that, Can- adians are becoming less afraid to dis- cuss questions effecting the interests of their country, even although their views may not be in accord with public opinkn or the popular sentiments of the time. I are not in favor of Annexation, neither do'„I believe that it is" our ulti mate destiny, but I, with thousands of others in this country, believe that a radical ehange is needed from the exist- ing state* of things, and I repeat the statement, that if we threw aside our colonialism, got out of leading strings, placed ourselves in a pOsition so that we could change or amend our Consti- tution according to the demands of the country, negotiate commercial treaties with the 'United States or any other nation without having to do it by way of Dowiaillg street we would thereby assume a status among the nations that we never had .before. • A stronger national feeling would be cultivated at home'we would become less and less English, Irish and Scotch every day and more and more Canadian'and the pres- ent uneasy, dissatisfied feeling would gradually die out. As we became better and more -favorably known immigration would begin to rush in, as it has 'done to other portions of the continent, our vast fields waiting for settlement would be- come peopled; manufacturers, mer - cheats and all other'. classes would flourish aad Canadians would then be- gin to feel that they were an established nationality. • But should things go on in the old .hum -drum way, population reinain aldiost normal, the cost of Gov- ernment increase annually, the -public debt increase annually, taxes increase annually, the future of the country is difficult to forecast.
