Americans are de pressed, and prices ranch the same as last week. The country is thoroughly flooded with soft ap- pies. Dealers think they are now pretty well on rock bottom -certainly there is not much more room for a decline; whilst with small arrivals better prices would obtain in the near future. Large lines of Boston and New York apples are being sold for the western states, and this will re- lieve the market, so that winter Can • adians, if very fine, should do well.

Counting Rooms Desks and Fire, Proof Safes save Its Temples -The Raving of the Steck Exchange is the Very Worship of the Calf Itself. BROOKLYN, November 13. -The subject of discourse chosen by Rs v: Jr. Talmage e for his first sermon after the national oleo - tion was one peculiarly appropriate to the money -making spirit of the times. It was the 'The Golden Calf," the text selected being Exodus 32 : 20, "And he took the calt whieh they had made and burnt it in the lire, and ground it to powder and strewed it upon the water and made the children of farad drink -of it." People will have a god of some kind, and. they prefer one of their own making. Here route the Israelites, breaking oil their gulden earrings, the then us well as the women, for in those tines there were masculine as well as feminine decorations. Where did they get these beautiful gold earrings, coming up as they did from the desert? 00, they "borrowed" them of the Egyptians when they left Egypt. 'These earrings are piled up into a pyramid of glittering beauty. "Any more earrings to bring?" says Aaron. None. Fire is kindled ; the ear- rings are melted and poured into a mold, not of an eagle or a war charger, but of a calf ; the gold cools off ; the mold is taken away, and the idol is set upon its four legs. :\u altar is built in front of the shining cali. Then the people throw up their arms, and gyrate, and shriek, and dance mightily, and worship. Moses has been six weeks on llouut,Siuui, and he comes back and hears die howling and sues the dancing of these gulden calf fanatics, and he loses his pa- tience, and he takes the two plates of stone on which were written the Ten Command- ments and flings thein so hard against a rock that they split all to pieces. When a man gets mad he is very apt to break all the Ten Commandments ! Moses rushes in and he takes this calf -god and throws it into a hot tire, until it is melted all out of shape, and then pulverizes it --not by the modern appliance of nitro-murietie acid, but by the ancient appliance of nitre, or by the old-fashioned file. He makes for the people amost nauseating draught. He takes this pulverized golden calf and throws it in the only brook which is accessible, and the people are compelled to drink of that brook or not drink at all. But they did not drink all the glittering stuff thrown on the surface. Sense of it flows on down the surface of the brookt Stratford, Ont., Nov. 11. -Yes- terday. Albert E. Elcombe was mar ried to Miss Annie Mahoney. The story of the courtship and marriage is interesting. The bridegroom is a dapper little Euglishinan who ar- rived in this city in April last from Lincolnshire, England. Oa ship board he made the acquaintance of a little Swiss lass which promised to develop into mutual love. She located at Rochester', and letters were frequ'tntly exchanged. A week ago last Wednesday the bride groom of, yesterday purchased an m, t:;i i .' f ,''S1' ..t)»' ..W jib which he intended - to seal the compact. On showing it to a friend he was chided with having to go so far away for a bride while there were so many charming young ladies in Stratford. The suggestion seemed to take im- mediate root, and the young man at once made his way to the tailor shop in connection with the establish- • meet in which he was employed, and iu the company of the girls therein assembled made the startling offer that he would marry any girl in the room the ring would fit and wl,o would accept him. The ring fitted throe of the number, but two of thein declined the proposition, and the third declined to give an im- mediate answer. She. however, re- mained after shop hours, and the compact was sealed. The brief courtship of a week teas not over- burdened with sentiment. It was business front beginning to end. Some friends of the bridegroom, thinking that he might in time re- pent so hasty a wooing, counselled him the night previous to declare the ceremony off, but he manfully refused. llo declared that he had given his word, and would stand by it, and so he did.

I shall describe to you the god spoken of in my text, his temple, his altar of sacrifice. the music that is made in his temple, ano then the final breaking up of the whole con gregation of idolaters. Put aside this curtain and you see the golden calf of modern idolatry. It is not like other idols, made out of stocks of stone, but it has an ear so sensitive that it can hear the whispers on Wall street and Third street and State street; and the foot -falls in the Bank of England, and a flutter • of a Frenchman's heart on the Bourse. It has an eye so keen that it can see the rust on the farm of Michigan wheat and the insect in the Maryland peach -orchard, and the trampled grain under the hoof of the Rus- sian war charger. It is so mighty that it swings any way it will the world's shipping. It has its foot on all the merchantmen and the steamers. It started the American Civil War, and under God stopped it, and it decided the Turko-Russian contest. One broker in September, 1869, in New York shouted : "One hundred and sixty for a million 1" and the whole continent shivered. This golden calf of the text has its right front foot in New York, its left front foot in Chicago, its right back foot in Charles- ton, its left back foot in New Orleans, and when it shakes itself it shakes the world. Oh! this rs a nighty god -the Golden calf of the world's worship. and the old, wrinkled, and trembling hands can no more bo put upon your head for a blessing. He will be to you father and mother both, giving you the defence of the one and the comfort of the other ; and of in my text was hollow, and merely plated with gold r otherwise, they say, Moses could not have carried it. I do not ;now that ; but somehow, perhaps by the assistance of his frie ds, he takes up this zolden calf. which is an open insult to God ind man, and throws into the fire, and it is iielte 1, and then it comes out and is cooled ff, ard by some chemical appliance, or by an old-fashioned file, it is pulverized, and t is thrown into the brook, and, as a •,unish,nent the people are compelled to !rink the nauseating stuff. So, my hearers, you may depend upon it that God will burn and He will grind to pieces the golden calf of mcdern idolatry, and He will -compel the people in their agony to drink it. If not before, it will be so on the last day. 1 know not where the fire will begin, whether .at the "Battery" or Central Park, whether at Brooklyn Bridge or at Bushwick, whether at Shoreditch, London, or West End ; but it will be a very hot blaze. All the Government securities of the United States and Great Britain, will curl up in the first blast. All the money safes and de- positing vaults will melt under the first touch. The sea will burn like tinder, and the shipping will be abandoned forever. The meited gold in the hroker's window will burst through the melted window glass rid into the street ; but the flying popula- tion will not stop to scoop it up. The cry of "Fire" from the mountain will be an- swered by the cry of "Fire" in the plain. The conflagration will burn out from the continent toward the sea, and then burn in from the sea toward the land. New York and London with one cut of the red scythe of destruction will go down.

They did not "die in the Lord ;" the golden calf kicked them ! The trouble is, when men sacrifice them- selves on this altar suggested in the text, they not only sacrifice themselves, but they sacrifice their families. If a man by an ill course is determined to go to perdition, I suppose you will have to let him go ; but he puts his wife and children in an equipage that is the amazement of the avenues, and The golden calf of our day, like the one of the text, is very apt to be made out of borrowed gbld. These Israelites of the text borrowed the earrings of the Egyptians and melted them into a God. That is the way the golden calf is made nowadays. A great many housekeepers, not paying for the articles they get, borrow of the grocer and the baker and the butcher and the dry -goods seller. Then the re• toiler borrows of the wholesale dealer. Then the wholesale dealer borrows of the capitalist, and we borrow, and borrow, and borrow until the community is divided into two class, those who borrow and those who are borrowed of ; and after a while the capi- talist wants his money and he rushes upon the wholesale den er, and the wholesale Goderich Township.

Ad- journed to meet on first Monday in December. NIXON STURDY, Clerk. Carnot Always Spotlessly Attired. No president of the French republic has undertaken so many journeys up and clown France as M. Carnot. Thanks to his scien- tific training, the chief of the state is able to model all his trips on the same methodi- cal plan and no hitches of any kind occur during any of his tours. The trips are carefully mapped out longbefore they begin, nothing being left to whim or caprices, n A day is fixed for the departure, a special train is prepared and the president starts punctually at the appointed time, His travelling outfit is arranged on Use same simple and orderly plan. In two large boxes are stowed away three dress suits, eleven shirts, three cordons of the legion, four pairs of varnished boots, and dozens of socks, cravats, and white gloves, with two buttons in each of them. If his dress clothes be even slightly damaged by dust or ram the president changes at once without delay, so that he is able to walk as spick and span as if he had just come out of the Elysee into a banquet or reception room While travelling the president talks to his entourage nearly all t he time, never giving himself up to a reverie or to reading. IIe devotes himself altogether, in fact, to those around him. M. Gravy was less methodical but• equal- ly simple in his arrangements for his annual trip -to -Montsous-Vain ray_ - Marshal Mac - Mahon was also simplicity itself, his chief preoccupation in travelling being his gloves, which were always spotlessly white. M. Thiers invariably- superintended his own travelling arrangements, and never went anywhere without his bed -a small Military one. On a recent occasion M. Carnot was visiting a provincial town and attended a review at which everybody, himself includ- ed, was drenched by a sudden ana furious downpour of rain. The presidential car- riage tools him to the prefecture, where he was staying, in a very bedraggled condi- tion. Several hundred guests had been asked to assemble at 4:30, to meet hint, and as it was nearly twenty minutes past when he drove up from the review everybody expected to see him come in with limp col- lar and spotted garinents-like most of the people present. But on the strike of 4:30 the little president strutted in, immaculate as if he just stepped cut of a bandbox. His valet had prepared one of the reserve suits and long habit has enabled the president to dress in ten minutes, decorations and all. Some Turkish Proverbs. Sit down crooked if you like, but talk straight. If you come empty•bandcd they will tell you : "The effendi is asleep," If you come !with a present they will say : "Effendi, pray step in." It is not by saying "Honey, honey," the sweetness comes into the mouth. The dog barks, but the caravan passes. If all our wishes could be gratified, every ibeggar would be a pasha. Measure yourself by your own yardstick. Waiting on a young prince and grooming a spirited horse are two very difficult things.

Thus far in this artiole the horse suited to Long Island and other postand-rail eouutry only has been considered, and the views of the men, who hunt there vary much all to pace and form of jumping. Where there is good grave galiop- iog and clean timber fences, where tate take•olf and lauding can be clearly seen, the horse which gallops freely between hie fences, a d chocks hie headway within two. e"andw three strides of the fence, his hind legs well under him prop over, is probably the most pope a;rs There are, however, a certain° nu e. of men who will ride only tborr oughbreds, and who prefer the long and strong striding -horse, which increases hie pace as he nears the fences and jumps it in his stride. Such a horse is pretty sure to fall oftener thau the one which props, but the risk of injury to the rider is leas in event of a fall, owing to the momentum which sends him well away, with scarcely a possibility of b+ing rolled on or trampled by the horse in his efforts to regain a foot- ing. Whilst the rider runs less risk of a fall- with the propping - horse, ho is much harder to sit when jumping, and when a mistake is made, Ise must occasional- ly happen, the riek is greater of the rider being rolled on. Con- sequently, the risk of injury is about the same between the horse which flies his jumps and the one which props over ; the first may have a greater number of falls with loss riah of injury, and with the other fewer falls with increased -risk of injury. 11! orris The council met pursuant t0 ad- journmeut, Nov, 7th, 1892.

CLARK, Clerk., THIE POINTS OF A HUNTER, THE KIND OF A HORSE FOR CROSS- COUNTRY wOIIK. From Ilnrper's Weekly. The first and most important re- quirement in a horse for cross coun• try is the intelligence which en- ables him to keep a comparatively level head under the exciting con- ditions of the chase, to calculate his distance, and jump with hocks under hits and his knees well up, all of which practice greatly improves and prolonged experience almost perfects. The second point for consideration is the conformation of the shoulders, which should be broad and promin- ent at tho points nearest the chest, and running up and beck at a de- cided angle, narrowing wedgelike to the point nearest the withers, a deep girth, short, strong, closely ribbed back, with loins and quarters altogether compact, if he ie expect- ed to carry weight. It is truly said that hunters come in all shapes, and Hewitt, the stud groom of the Mea- dowbrook Club stables,has often said that he has seen many poor perform- ers across country with good shoulders, but never a first-class per- I'1EWS NOTES. -Thos. Goes, a -Calgary, Man., settler, was badly injured by the accidental discharge of a gun. -Mrs. McLaren, of Westminster, township, is 102 'years and 6 months old, and still in good health. -The Ontario Furniture Associa- tion convention was held at Berlin last week. It ,was estimated that at least $300,000 worth of machinery was annually imported from the United States, and this was cousid• ered unfair to the manufacturers here. The Canadians have a uty of 35 per cent. to pay on their cabinet hardware, varnishes and other things which are necessary in their business, and a committee was appointed to wait on the Govern- ment and lay the question properly before. it. The duty on all furni- ture going into the United States is prohibitory, in fact, being 65 per cent. -An° interesting feature in re• gard to the way dressmakers rt Paris carry on their business as brought to Light by a case just tried last Friday. The managers of -the well-known Mme. Rodriquez, now bankrupt, sued Mlle. Malvina Bracht for 6,800 francs. the coif of elaborate toilets made. for her by Mme. Rodriquez. Mlle. Malvina set up as a defence that the dresses were supplied gratis, that she might advertise the matter by displaying thein in public, Evidence was given by well known actresses that Mine. Rodriquez had pestered them to have costumes made on similar terms,- ,Several gentlemen gave evi- dence rris to the figure Mlle. Mal- vina cut in her fashionable plumage. The court non-euited the plaitrtiff, on the ground that Mlle. Malvina had only been a walking advertise- ment for Mme. Rodriquez. It is unfair to suppose that all Americans hate all Englishmen. True, Mayor Grant, of New York, has put himself upon record as follows: "While I like to be as broad as possible in my views on international questions, I.am so thoroughly Irish and anti -English in every pulsation of my heart that if there were no other reasons to be considered but thatthatthe tariffwas against England I wotild favor it." But the Rochester Times is more moderate, and it speaks for Ameri- cans generally. "\Vhat Americans want to see," says the Times, "ie the overthrow of tho British aristo- cracy and roYti,lty." But why the British aristocracy and royalty alone? There are other aristocra- cies and other royalties. There is even an American aristocracy. - Hamilton S ectator- -Walkerton Ileraltl:-Our new- ly appointed constablo,.Jos. Greasser, allowed his zeal to get the better of his discretion when he laid an in- formation against J. C. Oppen- heiser for infringing the statute which forbids working on the Lord's day. 11 was shown that the only work preformed in evaporating gie-' tory on Sunday was absolut y necessary to save perishable goods from spoiling, and the police mag• istrate dismissed the case. The evaporator is a new industry which, since it started, has paid out some $2,000 for apples, which otherwise would have been of little or no value; and all the Sunday work con- sists in keeping up a fire to dry the apples peeled and sliced on Satur. day. If they were left over till Monday they would become sour and unfit for packing. No apples \Vers peeled or sliced on Sunday; and if the law were constructed so as to forbid a fire on that day, the fac- tory would have to discharge their bands on Friday nights.
