The Ottawa correspondent of the London Free Press announces that Thos. Farrow, postmaster of Brussels, has been dismissed for alleged offensive partizanship. Even so staunch a Conservative ae Castell Hopkins, (writer of the Life of Sir John Thompson, and a former Em- pire editor,) comes out over his own signature, and states that the position of the Governor-General in dismissing his late ministry, was perfectly constit- utional and unassailable. The reason- able Conservatives came to this con- clusion some time ago. Hun. anci Most Rev.

An Old -Tinter Mr W. Harland has banded us a copy of the CLINTON NEW ENA for May 7, 1808, and it is rather iutel'cets ing to luck it over and note same of the many changes. Isaac Rattenbury was advertising "Salt Lots" for sale. i T, R. Foster was running a woollen mill. H. r Norsworthy advertised a merchant tailor business; W. Marten, pedlar, had "a choice stock of teas;" J. B. Racey was r unoing the Trade Sale house; Thos. Stanbury and J. Mc- Garvagrocery stores; C. Cruickshank, a boot and shoe store; G. Diehl and T. Stevenson, furniture wareroome; R.M. Racey, hardware; Joe. Grigg advertis- ed a patent waggon jack; W. Coats advertised "Great sale --one year's credit;" Searle & Mavis were advert tis- ing everything in the way of tinware, and Harland Bros. advertised "stat e - pipes still at 124c." The old familiar) trainee of Irwiu & Hi dgens, Comuraod- et' & Elder, Thos. Jackson and Geo;ge Laycock are also noticeable by their prominence. The peper contains are- peri of the counsel proceedings and ocher lotal matter,with a long account of the farewell sermon of Rev. James , Carmichael. The London Advertiser says:—"A personal friend who has lately seen Hon. G. W.

Liberals all over Canada will he glad to know that this 18 the fact. The eloquent Minister of Education promises to regain his old physical form of fifteen or twenty • years ago. It is a fact, however, that his unsatis- factory health of recent years has nev- er affected his usefulness in the Legis- lature, his power on the platform, or his ability as an administrator.

It is reported that Sir William Vernon Harcourt, who was mentioned es Lord Rosebery's successor in the leadership of the British Liberal party, has Written, re- signing the loaderehipof the house of Corn - mons and intimating a desire to retire from Parlinnent. [This re since contradicted] The receipts in Britain of Canadian and United States apples up trill Saturday aggregated about 600,000 barrels. At the corresponding date last year only 35,000 barrels had been landed. There is no trade in which the most scrupulous care in selection and packing pays better than in the apple export trade.

He had seen him righteously indignant when his opponents were more than particularly wicked. He lived to do.goud and to help the afflic- ted and needy, and the public institu- tions that stretched from one end of the country to the other made a monu- ment more enduring than marble to the qualities possessed by Sir Oliver Mowat. That Is the ort of a man Mr Laurier selected for his M s Minister of Jus- tice. The Mitchel Recorder says:—Within the last two weeks, the writer was in conversation with a few politicians one evening in a neighboring town, and during the remarks that were being made a very prominent Conser- vative of the place, with considerable emphasis, made this observation : "What's the use of talking that way; I don't expect, to see the Conservatives hack to power for many years. Just mark my words for it, this country has only produced two Sir John A. Mac- Donalds. One of them' is dead, and the other one, quite his equal, is now leading the Liberal party at Ottawa.' A great deal of regret is felt at the Salvation Army barracks over the death at Butte, Mont., of Helen Fore- land, alias Kate Evans, once a famous frontier bandit, who was converted suddenly, and for several years lived a life of honor and piety. It is reported that the woman died from the effects of poison, administered by her own hands. Stout was compelled to take the work, and preached able sermons. The Brussels Herald of last week said;—"Rev. Mr Cluff has resigned the living at, Dresden' to which he was re- cently appointed." This is incorrect. Mr Cluff was on a visit to his brother in Clinton on Saturday, and stated that he intended to remain at Dresden. Mr F. J. Enefer, evangelist, of La - chute, Quebec, will preach in the House of Refuge on Sunday afternoon at 8 p. w., and in Perrin's Hall at 8 p.m. the same evening. Meetings will also be continued in the hall each evening during the week at 7.30 p.m., Monday and Saturday excepted. To the meet- ings in Perr!n's Hall the public is cor- dially invited. It is announced that early next month Hon. Mr Fieiding, Finance Minister; Sir Richard Cartwright, Minister of Trade and Commerce, and Hun. Mr Paterson, Minister of Cus- toms, will begin an investigation into the tariff. The Government has al- ready had many responses to the cir- culars of the Department of Trade and Commeree, which will give them val- uable aid in the contemplated revision.

This is .shat he thinks about the session:—It would have been good policy for the Federal Opposition which at present is undeniably weak and divided, to have lain quiet for the first session of the new Parliament. Without assenting to any great wrong againet the country, the Conservatives could have encouraged the Liberal Government to think they were dead. The apathy of the Opposition would have slioeuInt ed differences among Li here's and louse] the Govern- ment into that state of false security which is favorable to attempt- ed blunders. Then, when 'he Liberals, divided among themselves, were supp- orting the Government. in some huge blunder, the opposition :mild have arisen from the ashes of silence and proceed to smite the Amalekitee on the treasury benches. But the Opposition has diffused over a wide tract of small suhjeets the ener glen which might have been diverted into the deep channel of a wiser purpose.

It is that beautiful masterpiece by a celebra- ted Euglish artist, who was offered any amount up to ten thousand pounds, if he would paint another pictureas good as "The Orphan's prayer. The gifted artist tried and tried again, labored and worried and yearned, but gave up the at tempt., freely acknowledging that "The Or phan's Prayer was an inspira- tion, and no thought or study, or any sort of meditation could get from his brush a picture Bt to be called a com- panion piece. The great artist methis death through accident in climbing the Alps, and "The Orphan's prayer',re- mains as his monument. It was a great stroke, worthy of their great pa- per, by which the publishers of the Fa- mily Herald and Weekly Star, of Mon- treal, secured at enormous ctst, "The Orphan's Prayer" for this season's pre- mium for the Family Herald and Weekly Star. In all conscience the Femily Herald was good value before, we might. say the greatest value to be had in newspapers. What this gem of e. premium will do fur the great paper it is is impossible to form even an Petr - male. it is a wonderful combination. The Toronto Young Men's Liberal Club adopted the following resolution after an exhaustive debate:— That. this club is of opinion that hereafter all persons bolding office un- der the Crown (except members of the Govetnment) elciould abstain from ac- tive participation in political contests, ani that we urge spun both the Do- minion and Provincial Governments the necessity in the public interestof carrying out this principle." The principle of the resolution is correct. Civil servants are prtid by the whole community, including the mem- bers of all the political parties, and they should serve all alike. Presum- ably, they have done their share of political work before receiving their appointments. It is but fair that the tax -payers, and not the tax -eaters, should haveycontrot ofublie business. The official class cannot take an active part in elections without neglecting the duties for which they are paid by both parties.

But he gave specific instruc- tions that no orders deposing civil servants Evere to be signed whispered h ned wi'hout consulting him.

The Boston News Bureau is just advisrid by telegraph from Fort Smith, Ark., that after four years of desperate struggle for existence, this opposition ext hange has passed into the hands of the Sutithwestetn Telegraph and Tele- phone Ce'mpany, which operates un- der the Bell patents in Arkansaw and Taxes. This exchange was the found. ation of the Harrison Internati"nal Company, which was capitalized orig- inally at $80,000,C)0, afterwards re- duced to $40,00,000. The exchange was built in it most thorough manner and cost the Harrison international Company over $26,(,00. The South- western Company secured the plant at 80 per cent of the cost. Its tat lure is attributed to the fact that only one exchange can be operated successfully in any one community, and that the rates charged by the Harrison Com- pany, $3 end $2 per month, were far below the cost of operating.
