Current Events nnd Opinions, The days of a man's life nn thrte score years and ten, as the wisdom of the psalmist found, and it has heen the world's common experience that strength of body and power of mind are. broken at that uge, and the man passes from the sphere of respeoted dominion into the realm of indulgent memory. The exceptions to the great rule of being, the all but inexorable law of nature, are so few, so far apart, they tower into view' as miracles of destiny, awakening the wonder and commanding the admiration of the world. The Premier of Englnud, not lirst in ollice alone, but foremost in character, in iniiuence of personality, in mental authority, in political understanding among the men of his time, is one of the most remarkable of tliese noble anomalies. He has over-reached the scriptural limit by seven full years of labor; and now, with the white mists of envious time ubout him, and tho beckoning shadows of eternity a little beyond him, he is yet the master spirit of his people. Iu the speech with which he determined for Ireland the right of homo rule, so long claimed in vain, William Ewart Gladstone at once crowned a brilliant career with immortal honor, and proved himself to be as virile in thought, us potent in argument, as convincing in conclusions, and as profound iu apprehension ns when, with the prophetic vision of wisdom, he twenty years ago predicted what advancing civilization has since approved. Aside from the aim and purpose of that world reverberating speech — and there were required moral courage and mental health, sound judgment and shrewd deliberation to deftly handle principles and ideas that smote upon the prejudices of trad tion and the custom of centuries —there are a logical force and vigor, a rhetorical elegance ami grace, and a judioial fairness of discussion that, make this one of the most striking and effective orations ever delivered in that chamber whose walls have echoed tho eloquence of a Burke, a Sheridan a Chatham, a Fox, a Pitt, or an O'Connell. Whatever may be the result from the action of parliament, whether Mr. Gladstone is sustained or again deserted, us be has heen thrico before when advocating a strango truth, there can be but one impression of this speech, one opinion of the su perb statesman who delivered it, and these will be a tribute to his unimpaired genius and his imperishable fame. He begun by defining tho political situation with a skill and completeness that did thorough justice to both parties to the great problem of government, making ad- .missions that in no wise weakened his plea and presenting conditions that did not in the least imperil his case, though in each case his theories were revolutionary. Ho declared coercion a failure, which the English could not dispute. He claimed the right of the minority to protection, which the Irish could only admit. He asserted the fault of the administrative system of Ireland to be thnt its spring and source of notion was English, a proposition thnt umounted to an axiom; nnd so throughout, iu n manner the most diplomatic but also the most convincing, he passed from one phase of the momentous problem to another, masterfully, irresistibly, magnificently, having his forces so well in hnnd, his arguments so obviously construed, that his most radical propositions were received as tho logic of unassailable wisdom. Many of his utterances on this famous occasion will become proverbs of future polity. "It is sometimes necessary not only that good laws should be passed, but that they should be passed by the pro*jor nersons." "The passing of many good laws is not enough in cases' where tho strong instincts of the people, distinct marks of character, situation, and history require not only that these laws sliull be good, hut that they should proceed from congenial and native sources, and that besides being good laws they should be Iheir own laws." "The concession of local self-government is not the way to sap and impair, but to strengthen and consolidate Unity." This speech, so wisely 'committing the government to a new courso, so eloquently defining a condition thnt the logic of events declares to be an inevitable- result, reminds one of the prophecy of I860, when Mr. Gkulstono spoke upon thn reform bill thnt twenty years later arose from many defeats to become a law. "You can not light against the future. Time is on our sido, Tlie great Social forces which move onward in their might und majesty, and which the tumult of 6111* debates does not for n moment impede or disturb—those groat social forces nre against you; and the banner which wo now carry in Columbian.

That for franchise. So with other measures proposed by him, certain victory in tbe end, whatever trials and defeats intervened. The bill now offered to parliament iB but a formulation of opinions born of calm, wise, deliberate regard of contending elements nnd operating principles, not the hasty notions of partisan interest or factional prejudice,' Mr. Ghidstono hus been no less celebrated for his blameless life, his unswerving conscientiousness, his sound appreciation of justice, than for his eloquence, his vast learning, his great powers of mind; and in this last speech the world was given new and splendid proof that neither his virtue nor his ability have suffered from the taint of timo.—Chicago /nter-Occan... rv JllcLKAS M.

Tokonto, Ont., Apr. 17.—The citizens have beeu stupidly hoaxed by the publication this rooming in the News of George Washington's memorable farewell address, slightly altered and purporting to be the farewell address of Sir John Macdonald. It is datod Ottawa, April 10th, and takes up five columns. It is unnecessary to say thnt it created a sensation hero, wliich, however, --uickly subsided wheu its true nature became known. Tho secret of tho News' hoax ahout the resignation of Sir John came out this afternoon. Gable dispatches were forwarded to London, England, from this eity this morning, confirming the report. In consequence it has greatly depressed Canada securities. At 2:30 this afternoon the following cable was received from London: "All Canadian securities dropped SO to 60 per cent, on con fin-nation of Sir Juhn Macduiiald's resignation." The originators of the hoax, it is behoved, are Toronto street brokers, whoso . object waa the depressing of Canadian Northwest land and Canadian Pacific shares. Scores of telegrams were received here to-day front leading men in Ottawa, saying that there is not ono iWord of truth in the News' statements. DR. K. B.

A few days ago this woman was waited on by a deputation from a baker's union who required her to order her men to join the union. Mrs. Gray sent for her."' bakers and asked them if they wished to join. They said no; they were perfectly satisfied to remain as they were. Because she refused to compel these men to join a union contrary to their own wish the deputation informed her that her place was boycotted, und she woilld have to pay $25 a duy for the expenses of the boycott. Tins was decidedly more than the woman could stand. Her martini blood was up, and she quickly armed herself with a broomstick and hustled thc boycotters out of her premises. But the boycott went bn. Men from the bakers' union stood in front of her shop distributing notices warning the public that the place was boycotted and must not be patronized under penalty. All grocers in the neighborhood were advised that if they purchased brein' from hor they would also become the victims of the boycott. The outlook for Mrs. Cray was decidedly unpleasant; and in all probability she would have boen forced either to discharge her non-union men or close her business, if it had not been for the help afforded by Sympathizing friends. She was fortunate enough to possess friends among the aristocracy of New York, and when the circumstances became known it was determined that she should not be permitted to sutler from tho unjust action of the boycotters. Rich people from all parts of the city became interested and sent Mrs. Gray large checks for bread to be distributed at the hospitals or among the poor, Some sent $50, somo §100, and some even larger sums to be applied in this way, and tho little bakery on Hudson street began to do a business such as it had never before known or even hoped for. In this case the boycotters were foiled, for public sympathy became aroused so thoroughly that their purpose to ruin the business of Esther Gray was made the means of bringing her unexpected gains. No doubt there are grievances among the working men, but the boycott is probably an instrument of far great er tyranny than any they themselves have suffered. Their application of this instrument has shown that their operations are governed by neither justice nor common sense. Labor organizations may become the means of great good to the working men if properly conducted, but as they now exist there is room to question whether tlm good they accomplish is greater than .the harm done in securing it.

In the adjoining oity of Portland the act was carried--ffae/.vots being 614 for and 48&i U 9flOU It is stated that the steamers running tn Vancouver are to leave .Victoria on tho mornings of Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Surely this must: be a mistake. Why should the Sabbath be regularly desecrated both at Victoria ahd Vancouver? Why should thero be a steamer on Sunday and nono nn Saturday ? The "constantly tired-out" feeling! bo often experienced Is the result of impoverished blood, and consequent enfeebled vitality. Ayer'a Sarsaparilla feeds and enriches the blood, increases the appetite, and promotes digestion of the food, and thc assimilation of iti strengthening qualities. The system being thus Invig- orated, tho feeling rapidly changes to a grateful sense of strength and energy. | Mkthodiht Church.—In the Mary- street Methodist church to-morrow services will be conducted in the morning by Rev.

Northgravea, late cf Ferndale, near Whatcom, wero mnr' ried by tho Bishop of Now Westminstor at St. Mary's church, Sapperton. In tho ovening nearly nll the boys of Snp- portnii gathered about the house of the newly-married couple and mndo night hideous with horns, tin pans and howl- iiif. After enduring the din fur aome time thu outraged bridegroom made peace by inviting the enemy into his house and providing abundant refreshments. It is said thnt both bride and bridegroom have been there twice before. T .Congratulations,—One of the benefits of the ceremony of turning the first sod on the branch line is a very cheap and extensive advertisement of thu fact that thia city is to be connected speedily with tho Canadian Pacific Railway. The affair hus been telegraphed over the whole continent, and evon the people Of the North-west have been advised nt it as far oa the Rocky Mountains. Yesterday the mayor recoived the following despatch from the lieutenant-governor of tho North-west territory, dated at Regina, April 30: "Juat seen account of turning of first snd of your railway. Accept tho congratulations of an old friend.: E. Dewiiney." Vancouver Election.—On Monday Messrs. R. H. Alexander nnd M. A.

Riuht op Way. -Some difltyijty, has arisen between the city and'the'Dominion government respecting the right of way through the lands lying in front of the penitentiary. It has beon tor some time understood that the federal authorities would allow a right uf way free through that property. Afterwards, tho Dominion government agent threatened to apply tor an injunction to stop railway work because no instructions had been sent from Ottawa. Ifl nuawer to a telegram from, the; mayor on Monday,' Air. Homer' telegraphed that tho matter had been ull arranged, and the right of way had been conceded nt a "nominal rent." Mr. Trutch n-.# advises tho mayor that the. '-nominal rent" iB $50 a year for 00 years! Instead of a nominal rent, this is a very full rent, and it is extremely doubtful whether tho corporation would be justified in paying it. ■ Rjst-oitMED Ei-iscorAL CoxrijitT.— Oneof the most successful eutcrtnin- monts over given in tho Reformed Episcopal church camo off last Wednesday night.

Mr. Henry goes east shortly to select a Btock for hia own nursery ut Port Hammond, and he utter-- at the aame time to fill any orders that may be entrusted to him for trees, and select thom himself. Thero is no question about fruit-growing in this province. It grows nlmoat without cure; nnd if good atock is used the;ioturus will be moat satisfactory. In the course of a few years British Columbia ought to furnish enough fruit for the northwest, where it cannot be successfully grown in many places. Persons intending tn get trees should ruad Mr. Henry a advertisement.

(Reported (iir tlie (.'otnmlilun.j Chilli wii a<.k, April 27.—On Monday night a musical aud literary outer* tainuiont whb given in tho now hall now iu course of erection hero by lhe enterprising tirtu nf fleudersoii Bros., and which ia to ho formally opened hy tho Oddfellows about the 20th of March. Tlio programme'on Monday night was well carried uut aud tho pieces weru greatly appreciated by thu lari'o audienco presont. Just before tho last piece was sung, the chairman said it had occurred to several persons present that this would bu an excellent opportunity to obtain nu expression of opinion from tho people of Chilliwhack ou some political questions. Not hmg ngo an agitation had risen in thu city nf Now Westminster about the branch railway, tind during the oxciienieiit the people of that, city had taken upon themselves to offer a public insult to the two representatives of the district. As thero wero a largo number of voters present, it might be proper f<>r them tu express an opinion respecting this matter. In order to obtain such an expression the following resolution hnd beon proposed: "He it resolved by this assembly that we fully endorse the present government in their operations and disbursements, and we entertain tho highest regard for our representative, the Hon, John Robson, and we most heartily request htm to become a candidate for re-election hb a representative of this district in tho next parliament. Be it also resolved that wo consider the action of the people of "New Westminster in burning our members iu effigy quite uncalled for and partaking of the-nature of the rash actiou of a hot-bendod mob." The-* resolution was moved by Mr, G. R." Ashwell and seconded by Mr. he thought the .bhnuu for the.railway difficulty rested entirely with tjie New Westminster opunoil, and not with the representatives. Tlio action of* tho .people uf that city looked very liko a political dodge gotten up on the eve of a general election for the purposo of injuring our representatives, . . Mr. Mr. Chadsey was loudly cheered, Mr. D. McGillivray took the floor nud said ho thought it was entirely out uf place to spring a political question upon au nssomiily gathered for quite a different,purpose. We were interfering in a matter which wo did not understand. He thought the people of New Westminster were quito justified in what they hnd done, The chairman (Mr. J. C. Henderson) thought tho resolution wus entirely in order. It would bo most diiiicult to | bring together as large un UBBeuibly as hnd gathered to-night when every otio was busy with work. The district had been grossly insulted by tho people of Now Westminster in burning our representatives in offigy. Mr. G. R, Ashw-'ll said ho fully endorsed the resolution, In his opinion tho action of thu people of Nuw Westminster city in burning tho district members was entirely out of place. In reply to Mr. MoGillivray ho considered it quito proper to bring ihe matter forward at this meeting. Mri D.'-' MoCriie ' being culled upon aaid ho fully undoraod the resolution. Ho believed the people wero perfectly satisfied with .lohn Itobsnn us their representative, and so long as thu doctors stand by him tho peoplo of New Westminster need not trouble themselves about liim. Hu considered that tho peoplo of this district enjoyed a very groat privilege' in being represented by the provincial secretary. Bo would sny hero that hu wisliod it to be distinctly understood lhat ho hnd declined to accept the invitation given to him aomo time ago to stand for election as a representative of this district at tho approaching contest. Circumstances would not allow him to do that; but he would' suggest thnt wo aro entitled to elect ono representative from this part of the district. Ho would not bo. quite so selfish as the people of New "Westminster, but would be satisfied if one representative from this section of tho district was elected with Mr. John Robson, We were not working machines run for the benefit of Now Westminstor (loud applabso). Ho would heartily support nuy proper candidate from tho lower end of ttiis district who would support the government. Tho district waa perfectly competent . to look nfter itself, and provide its own representatives. Mr. McCrae ant down amid great applause. Mr, A. C. Wells wub next called upon nnd. suid he quite agreed with tho resolution, and after making soine appropriate remarks which were received with applause, Mr. McGillivray again took the Hour. He said ho hnd nothing ugninst the Hon. Jno. Robson. He had seen him a few days ngo in Victoria and he (Mr. Robson) then told him he would be in tho district shortly and would explain everthing. He (Mr. Mc,Gillivray)said Mr. Robson would bo elected. Mr, MeCrao said that peoplo of New Westminster , might as well burn tho effigies of every member of the house aa ffibae ofJbttb representatives. Tho resolution was then put and carried without a dissenting voice, and when tho applause from nearly 200 peoplo had subsided the entertainment was closed by singing the National Anthem.

Commerce ofthe Paclflc, Spenking on tho admission of Wash ington Territory us a state, Senator Morgan made a most elaborate address, of which the following extructs will he of interest to our ruudurs: Iu ten years' time tbu Canadian Pacific Railway will havu established itself and its lines of trofBc; throughout'the countries of the Pacilic, uud wu shall tind lhat it will snatch from tho Ray of San; Francisco half, or it tuny .be. more than naif, of its trado. ' We must hare a competitor theru; We must have somebody there at least to divide with Great Uritaiu the honors aud the wealth also to be accumulated from hor commercial adventures in that ocean. Now, Mr. President, I wish to say a few more words about our traflic in tho Pacilic Ocean. I think there are riot enough of. the senators - in tin's b .dy who eonceiir tlieiuselvos nbout this matter, if they will allow mu to Bay so. They either undcrcatimatu it or they have so much else to think about and to do that thuy do not ciiusider this Rivat question. But do wo not seo all the on- lightened nation* of thihenrih moving up in competition thruugh the Pacilic Ocean and taking this island aud that nud thc other, commencing, with tho Plullipine Islunds, having a strife about them, then coining on by the Caroline Islands, until thoy get to S.uuiia, where our former honorable socrotary of stato, who now occupies a scat in the senate, put himself to great irouble to negotiate a most -*x- collent treaty for the United States. Under that treaty we should have the advantaged of a port of our own thoro if we will provide the means for coaling our ships and whatever else might be nucessary for their replenishing whilo they were out upon the cruises thnt carry them from fifteen to thirty days t'roin shoro. Wc find the world frequently agitated by disputes boWeou Spain and Germany, and even hetweefi Great Brit ain and Germany, in respeot of tho occupation of inuousideralilo islands iu tho Pacific Ocean, islands that, when we were boys, we road about as [daces that woro tlie habitation* of cannibals. Now these little Islands are matters of groat consideration with the most eminent of foreign powers. Why is ali this? It is because these nations are measuring their strength onu with nnother, imt merely for tiie purposo of having their (lag lo float upon conquered terrilory or newly acquired territory, but fnr thu benefit of commerce, for its protection and for its advancement. Commerce it is that rules ihis world at this hour. Armies and navies nre mere servants of commerce today. Thc commercial men of tho world to-day have thu c-mU'ol of it. Vou cannot mention now a man, whether he is n kins or a subject, who hns got sutticiiuit military renown in this world to make him a dangcroqa element ju , politics — ii-at, ono. No nation Wrs nny king be* look to lhe commercial power of nations; we look to the merchants, to the diplomatists, to thu statesmen uf tho different nations to seo whether or not we shall be able in thu future to measure our progress with. them. Those nro the considerations tliat how influence mankind. With a fore- thom/ht that was worthy of one of the greatest statesmen this country has produced wu obtainod Alaska, and yet thero was then an outburst of mingled indignation and scorn., through many sections of tho United Rtates that we should have given $7,000,000,1 believe it wua, for the purchaso of Alaska. There are the fisheries of the Pacilic Ocuan, boundless, exhauatless. There is the power of supplying food from the tea on that coaat and the adjacent' islands, which, if we hnd possessed the like power in Labrador aud in Newfoundland on this coast, we | should have been a very much richer people to-day than we are, and far] more powerful. Then we commence nt Vancouver Bay, the Straits of Puca, with Washington Territory, and we run down to Mexico—a vast coaat with four good inlets upun it, Puget Bound, Columbia River, the Bay of San Francisco, mid the Bay of Ban Diego. Beyond that we have fraternal relations,! I may call them very friendly relations, with Hawaii, that outpost of the aea which stands centrally between us nud China, Japan, and Australia. If we were deprived of our friendly relations with that group tif small islands W0 should bu bereft of very much tbat in the future will be of -great benefit to thc people of the United States, But Great Britain haa established her- foU throughout the world. Com* moncing ut the mouth of the Red Sea, she cornea un around tho Indian coast to Hongkong, and along the const of South America. She haa got her naval establishments, her na* vul stations, where ahe can send her ships and supply them with coal and .provisions from place to place. Bho can go to Ban Francisco with a full supply of coal, and all the men that nre necessary to man a ship and with overy equipment necessary, quito aa easily na she could go from Liverpool or any other place on the English coast tu St. Petersburg. Sho ia prepared all over the ocean with depots, places of supply where she ia never wanting iu the power tu do all that she wants to do, or all that she can possibly do, with her nrmy and her navy, against any power of the world. I do not know that we shall ever get to that stato of exaltation, I .will call it, in respect of this groat government and its control among the nations of the earth. I wish we could mako the same boast that Great Britain can make, I should have no fear of the liberties of this people, not the slightest, if we had all the power on the sea in foreign countries that Great! Urituin has got.* I would feel far more comfortable than I do in reaped to our ability to discharge our obligations to our own citizens when thoy are abroad. We have a splendid coast with many deep inlets and bays without fortifications, and perhaps thoy will remain so for a great while. Perhaps the world will be wilting to let us alone until we choose to interfere with them in somo way. I do not know. It may be, however, that the jealousy of our inoHMsing riches may inspire thom aome*or "tnese daya to interrupt our peace and kill our commerce. Then they will havo nothing. to do but to shake their fills' ut ns and it will depart from the seas. They may do it, and will do it, if we make no prevision for ita security. We have a line of picket poata, commencing at Labrador,, Newfoundland, tq tbe Bermudas nud nll the Weat Indies, clear around our coast, ahd in the pacific Ocean, all iu the possession of foreign powers, Tho. British govern: ment gets as near to us as it can* tf ith its picket posts; and when HktWfQdp 'Vancouver Island and to Victoria, whoro they know they hfiVe the cuiitrol of the Straits of Fuca unless we do something lo prefent thom, the first thing they do is to build u great duck yard, a naval establishment, and after that n town. They build their railway to it, then their dockyards, then their great.mini establishment, and after they havo done that they are ready to go to work and tmild a town. That is British policy as contrasted with American policy; and yet I am vory sorry to say that we are lacking in proper enterprise in getting to that western coast and taking care of it! ,. Wo have very easy facilities to avail ourselves of in uniting our eastern and western coasts. We have to do nothing more than to extend a friendly, cordial •frivitntioii to private men with capital to have a wny through Lako Nicaragua where we can paaa our fleet—it makes no clirfereuw what the she of our shipa may be—from the Atlantic to the Pacific. We cuuld thus save ourselves the necessity of having two fleets, one to defend the Pacific and the other to defend the Atlantic coaflt. But not only docs that excite no enthusiasm ut interest among the American people, but it seems to excite the distrust of tho administration. They aro opposed to it. , For my part, I utn' rint capable ->f highly appreciating an idea of govern* meut whicli it content merely to pull thniugh .four years of ud minim rat mil with'UU doing anything What-ever .for tlip progress nf American peopl.-.

Big- low's statement, contrasted with those of most other observers not directly in the pay of the canal authorities, appeared more kindly and generous to the canal peoplo than the facts warranted; nevertheless ttigelow told the plain truth quite too often for De Lesseps. It may be doubted where, in auy other country of tlie earth than Fiance, a man could con* tiuun so long to delude the people by his assertions, after his public statements had been proved incorrect again and again. New Yoeji, April 19.—The Times in u column article beaded, "Outdoing the Tweed Ring," accuses Bollin M. Squire, presont commissioner of publio worltB, and Maurice B. Flynn, bis backer, of a scheme to control the entire city government for several years to come. The plot, according to the Times, includes the overthrow of Mayor Grace. The passage of the Aqueduct bill at Albany, which places Squire nnd Flynn virtually in chargo of thc building of the aqueduct and the formation of the board of excise in the interest of the adherents .of the department of public works, and tlie intention to either bring PrefMwit Cleveland to what is called "an understanding,'' or to cripple him and his friends for all time to come, the Times says, is one of the most remarkable con* Bpiruciea for spoils and revenge ever entered into even in the Tweed Ring times. Nkw Youk, April 19.—The Heralds Washington correspondent telegraphs: There ia a rumor that the president has been making oue of those careful and laborious studies, to which he is given, of the publio land question, and that he has become bo thoroughly convinced of the vaatness of the land frauds and of the measure of the present land laws for land-grubbing by syndicates and corporations, and of the necessity of a thorough reform of both the laud laws and the land administration, that he will presently send a apecial message to congress urging its immediate action in the way of land reform nnd the repeal of bad laws to help him in saving the remaining public landa for homestcada for the people. Nkw York, April 19.-—A Tribune, editorial says: Everything serins to be a tie ted by thc disorganization of labor, eren the wheat market. Thc operators who rushed May wheat np 4 cents Saturday believo tho railways will atop running entirely in that month. There ia more wheat in store at Chicago and at other lake ports than anybody wants to see delivered at New York in May, The movement had some supporters in au export demand for the Mediterranean, Which has beeu completely stopped by the advance in price. Late reports indicate the yiald this year will approach 500,000,000 bushels of wheat. Thoso who believe the demand for iron an unfailing indication of thc business futuro fiud great encouragement in the reports for April lat. The capacity for furnaces in blast was greater than ever before in April, exceeding by 708 tons the weekly capacity in 1885, when the annual pro- duet was larger than ever beforo or since, It is significant that easy money and the small expansion of loans did not lift the stock market last week, nor did all thc strikes or labor troubles depress it. Nkw York, April 20. -At the free trade clubs and at Brooklyn they nre acting ns if they hod heard good news. They say that private advices from trustworthy sources at Washington are to tho effect thnt there has beeu n new deal in the Morrison tariff bill, whereby its paisage in the house is reasonably 'assured; thnt the president has awakened to the necessity of passing some bill, if only for political reasons. The ex pressions of Ida wishes in this respect are beginning to have an influence on the Democratic members of Pennsylvania, a delegation, who heretofore has cither been' 'hifrewarm on the subject, or Imd some doubta as to the wisdom of agitating tariff revision at all this session, r New York, April 26.- Inquiry among the -leading real estate men shows thnt rrntafor all classes af property hare bean reduced from 100 to 25 per cent. Thc strikers nnd the labor troubles in building trades are preventing thc commencu ment of many new buildings. It ia thought this will cause an increase in rente' next season. The cflect of the labor trouble*: upon tbe building trade in tho city cau hardly he estimated. It ia declared that building iu this city is practically suspended this season ou thia account. The same story comes from Boston iu regard to the cflect of the labor agitation upon thc building trade. A struggle of most serious parts Ib about to begin iu this vicinity over the eight hour movement. The hope of thc central trades and labor uuious, of needed acquiescence by a large proportion of employes in the experiment, proves to be groundless.

's ocl7to Toronto Exhibition. THE DOMINION PIANO & ORGAN CO. Speaking of the great central exhibition opened at Toronto on the 10th Sept., the Toronto Globe says: An object of special attention, which by very reason of its prominence on the grounds cannot escape the attention of the most casual and careless observer, is the pavilion of the Dominion Organ Company. This is a separate building but a little distance from the south east of the Main Building. This pavilion must be about 50 feet by 40 feet, with a porch or railed passageway all around it extra. It is handsomely painted, with ample and almost entire glass section, comprising fully one-third of its height in windows, and announces to all iu broad letters that it is the pavilion of that company, and that Joseph Ruse, of 68 King-street West, represents the company. In&ide no pains have been spared to make it attractive, and certainly its designs have succeeded. Ko one should visit the Exhibition without going through this pavilion, there he wid find a little paradise of music. Here are decorations, handsome pictures of the Dominion factory and of thc present store room of Mr. Kuse, aud above all, pianos and organs of thc most artistic and unique designs. The display of these instruments is grand indeed, and a ;ipleadid tribute to the ?;cnius and skill of our Canadian maiiu- itcturers. Pianos and orgaus of every style and artistic design are found here —a parlor grand, squares, and uprights of rose-wood, satin-wood with walnut trimmings, ebony and gold, mahogany and beryl walnut. A double manual and pedal bass organ, with handsome pipe top, faces the visitor at the extreme end us he enters this pavilion. For company are organs of every style and design to suit the purchaser. Tlie Company also exhibit with the degree of triumph and merit the fact is worthy of a cable despatch to them from Antwerp, Germany, announcing that at a Grand National Exhibition held there the Company had just carried off the first prize over all competitors for its instruments. This is certainly remarkable, though when the rapid rise of this Company to public favor and confidence is considered, not so remarkable as at first might seem. The Company's success in honors, home and international, is something remarkable. The exhibit on the grounds is certainly attractive and will amply repay a personal inspection and visit, Sir Charles Tupper on Wednesday last emphasized the high compliment he paid the Duniinim- Organ and Piano Company at ths opening of the Loudon Fair. In his address from the platform of the Art Gallery, speaking of thc great impe tiiB Exhibitions gave to every industry represented, be referred to tbe Canadian exhibit at the Antwerp International Exliihition, Belgium, and cited as an il* lustration of the wonderful progress this country is making, the success of the Dominion Organ aud Piano Company there. He said that this Company (the Dominion Orgnn aud Piano Company) had not only taken the highest award there, the very highest the judges could possibly confer over all other competitors, from Kngland, France, and Germany, the very centres of cultivated classic music, countries justly celebrated for tlieir skill nnd acquirements in musical knowledge, hut these judges, who comprised some of their ablest and best musicians, had declared further that thc instruments of this company were superior to any they had ever seen, heard, or examined. With such a compliment from such a .source, in addition to their success at this Exhibition, the Company ought to feel content. [T.

' Wandering once among tlu- cedars, | Wliere tbe fire had spent his spite; : Looking at thc scarred old tree trunks, I Which thc sun just tipped with white; As it sunk in clouds of splendor, Clouds of fervid, fleecy red; As its last beam lit the treetor-is : Par, far up above my head; , Pointing upwards, ever upwards, Scorched by fire's heat and Hame; Pointing upwards grim aud blackened, Throughout heat or cold tlie same. I "Monarch's of the western forest, Bend yonr boughs ou mc less grim: i Do not look so gaunt and stern, • Waving your serrated limbs." And a murmuring voice me answered, Like a death moan on the air, i Like a voice among the gravestones When coines winter dark and drear: (1 am old and gaunt and ilentl-ilike, ! Cone my waving tresses fair, [ Clone my cadar plumes liko love-locks, I ioue my feathery, flouting hair; "i; mie my beauty and my greenness, - Gone my pleasure on this earth, I Fit for naught but menial service, I Fit for ashes on the hearth; , "Fit hut to bo trampled under ■ by the filthiest beast below; | No more huppy days for mc, No more blessings to bestow. "To thy race I count my troubles, ; Count iny loss of bloom of life, | Count my wreck and grim appearance . Fell destruction's with them rife. "Yet 1 blame them not; th' Creator Kuew my spun of life was done, Knew my life on earth was ended, Knew my race was fully run. "Soon upon the ground Pil lie, Lay my weary head to rest, Lay my grimed top in quiet, Safe upon iny mother's breast. "Day by day I weaker grow, Day by day I quivering bend, Only waiting-, only longing For the end.' And tlie voice stopped with a qiiiver, With a querulous moan and sigh, Bringing troubled thoughts within me Aud a tear unto my eye. For a poet sees the heartaches Even of murmuring forest trees, For he looks with eye of vision, With an eye of vision sees.
