Socialistic theories liavo taken suoh fufat hold of the Irish people tliat any nssemon of landlord rights provokes tlieir resistance. They know very well the immorality of their doctrines; â¢ they are stern as- serters of their own property rights against) one another or ia defiance of the laborer's demauds; but agitation mul crime having t-ecm'ed thein' a quarter of the old rent, they indulge in the hope that more agitation and more crime will eventually obtain the rest.âLondon Teh- graph. Ottawa, despised and sneered at by her western coiitompora-ies, can to-di'y claim that her ratio of -growth â¢in greater thnn thnt of any lending city in Gnniidti. Let us compare her rectird for the past yea:.* with that of Toronto. Toronto's popu- lution according to the assessment for the year just closing was 99,131, her present population is 104,276, and increase of 5,145, Ottawa's last assessment showed a population of 27,645, and her new assess-ne.it a population of 30,791, allowing an increase of 3,146, Though the percentile of increase during the past year for Toronto is 5.19, yet that for Ottawa is 11.34, or more thr.ii double that of iho Queen Oity,â Ottawa Free Press. The seventeen years of Nova Scotia's experience of Confederation has but deepened the feo'ings of repugnance whicli the people of tliis Province n I ways entertained towards tKo union. Tho objections taken by Lhe opponents of tho scheme in 1867 have proved sound to the letter. The predictions and prophecies of its advocates have pTOved us foundation1 ess as tlm structure of dream. Those who are old enou_ to remoui'jer -the bright picturea of future greatness' arid prdspeJ-ity drawn by union orators and writers ' when presenting tho scheme to the people, who contrast them with tbe sad realities of our preseut position, experience a feeling dt aianzemei.it that men could be svi i jmpletely hallucinated as the union advocate; were.â-Halifax Chronicle. Paradoxical as it seems, ouo great reason why business men are uf aid of James G. Blaine as a F -esidoul is that lie is so much o: a business man himself. It is a fact not geuer ally remembered, that nobody has yet been elected President, or even seriously thought of, whose chief pursuit in life 1ms been money-making. The more one considers Blaine's career and surroundings, the mo.-e satisfied one becomes that if he were elected the executive office would bo for the first time administered as a business by a firm, of which Blaine woultl be iho head, and uo "deadhead" either, and that the annual not profits woultl prolmMy be greater than any over mode by a s'n^le concern, not excepting the Hoths- nhiids. It-t great value would bo hi the fact that, unlike ihe Little !*ock Railroad tind the Hook'ng . alley Mines, no capital would lie needed, and tlie returns would be so steady and sure that the profits might lie divided at the beginning instead of at ihe end of the yoar.â JV. Y. Nation. What a graphic picture of the life of mi engine-driver is that which the Times published tho other morning from the pou of one who has driven an express train for twenty-one years I "During that period," says this typical spokesman of a hitherto inarticulate class, "I have twice had my engine run off the rails aud down an embankment, one collision tho result of bad signalling, eight crank axles have broken under mc, in nil cases the engine camo off tho mils, and plenty of smaller things which I will uot trouble you with." Adventures by rail nre ns exciting as adventures nt sen, but as nil who cross the ocean must share the risks of storm and tempest, with the sailors the latter are much more gonoi'rlly appreciated thnn the perils which tlie e-i- gino-dvivor and his fire.mm have io face alone. But what a suggestion it is that directors should quality for their posts hy doing journeys on the footplate I If wo accept that principle we shnll soon bo coupelling tho Home Secretary to pess a ni^ht on a canal bont, or the Secretary for War to camp out with Tommy Atkins on tho road to Kartoum. Wo nro hardly ripe for thatâat least not yet,--â¢ Mall Iludget, Surely no dream ever was more extravagant. Not only iB Jamaica two thousand miles oii', but Oubn and' Hayti lie between * * But a federation of Canada and Jamaica, or of Oanada-and the West Indian Islands, would be at- the mercy of any filibustering republic which could fit out a few gunboats. * * The political consequences to the Dominion of a union with Jamaica can only be regarded with horror. Tho population of Jamaica is new about 600,000, of whom not more than 12,000 are whites, the wliite population having decreased, wljjle the black population hus increaipd rapidly of late years. The tinfitn) of such a population, the negro 1 ing what he is, for free institutioi if it could ever have been do^btf has been proved ny expdfTmem^ onco disastrous and decisive, iif the cose of Jamaica itself and in that of St, Do.ningo. In Jamaica the bloody farce terminated in the eager return to the condition of a crown colony, it having become apparent that only by the strong hand, of a Royal Governor could pence be possibly kept between the rapes. But the Jamaican delegation in the Dominion Parliament, if proportioned to the population of tho Island, would be large enough, in anything like an equipoise of parties, to hold the balance of power. In other words, it would be able to pillage us without limit, to say nothing of the demoralization of which we have already quite enough. At tlio same time we should have the quarrel between the white and the black races in Jamaica, with aU the troubles arising from it, on our hands. Nothing m the meantime would be gained wliich might not be equally well secured by fiscal arrangements. Theso arguments will sarely prevail. Yot it may not be needless to enter a caveat against any more dealings with Canadian nationality behind the back of the Canadian people. Monarchical traditions prevent our statesmen from seeing what thoy owe the commonwealth and what, in a democratic era, sound policy dictates in this respect. The constitution of the Dominion itself lacks moral validity mid the highest claim to allegiance, because it was sottled by the politicians with the Imperial Government and w,** never submitted to ihe people. It woula rather bo too much if we were to wake up one morning ar I find that by an agreement between Ottawa, Downin^-st., and Mr, Solomon, wo had been politically amalgamated, with the black population of Jnmni- en.âBystander. Pensioning an Employee. A faithful employee Imd grown old in the service of a railroad, nnd at last became too feoble to work. The president wns asked if the company would not do somothiug for him, as ho was verypoor. ''How lon<- has he houn with us?1 tho official inquired. "Over forty yoars." "Alwaya did his duty?" "Never missed a day." "You any he is very old and feeble." "Yea, tho chances are that he will never leave Ida bod again." "H-m, poor follow! Of course we muat do something for hiin. I'll givo liim a life pass."âChicago News, Ills MigtoKeT" "Sny, Miiroh," said a customer to n retail clothier, "whnt ia this story I heard about you?" "Vot sthory ib*i dot sthory?" ' "Why, a friend of minu said you mnde a mistake the othor day, nnd sold him a $10 coat for 85." "How ish dot?" "I don't know. He said he saw tho figures oa the ticket, and that yonr boy sold it to him." "Veil, veil, vot a schmurt poy dot Ohonnio ish! Yoost liko his fodder, I tole dot poy he coot haf nil vot he make ofer two dollor apiece on a chub lot of last chunr's goats, und dot iah dor vuy he peats his oto foddor unt tinea der trade.

As a lady opened tho door of a Second street residence to answer a ring Mondny, a neatly dressed individual bowed politely aud inserted ono foot in the doorway far enough to guarantee that proceedings would not be brought to too summary u close. The lady concluded he was au agent, and remarked in vigorous tonus; "I don't wnnt anything!" at the same time giving uudotiiah'e indications that she desired to shut tho door. "I beg your pardon, madam, lam not offering you anything,''said Ite with an injured nnd dignified air. "Pray excuse me," alio unswered, "my mistake arose front the fnct thnt I have boen greatly annoyed by agents. Whom do you wish to boo?'1 Without noticing hor inquiry, he said: "Madam, it is diflicult to reconcile your recoption of mo with whnt a gentleman would naturally expect nt the hands of a lady. Such brusijuunuss is chilling to refined and sunsitivo natures acciibtomed to the usages of polite society." Again apologizing, shu wna nbout to aak liim in, whon he drew from his coat pooket a little box and opening it, explained; "Madam, I hnve for salo here au invaluable " Tho feat of extracting hia foot from thnt doorway before the door slammed with a noise thnt could be hoard two blocks, so diatrauted hia attention that lie luft the sentence uncompleted . .

If the report be truo it may lessen to some extent the public sympathy which has hitherto gone out to Gordon, but we shall wait for fuller information before censuring the hero of Khartoum. It is believed in somo ipiarters that there will be a genoral election in Great Britain early next year The antagonism between the two parties and the two houses is such that no compromise can be looked for. Gladstone refuses to grant a dissolution now, but if the peers nre firm it may possibly happen tbat the government will bo forced to yield and appeal to the constituen. cies. There is likely to be trouble with the radical element of the house, and this element is most anxious to keep up the present antipathy against the lords! There has been no definite announcement of government policy, and somo say that there is anything but harmony in the cabinet itself. Most Unlikely. We aro afraid tho Victoria Times aims moro at being sensational than judicious. It asserts thnt there is a rumor to the efl'ect that Sir M. B. Begbie will shortly retire from the chief justiceship of tlie supreme court, and will be succeeded by Ex- Governor Richards who is now in the province. No person but the Times seems to have heard such a rumor, and we are inclined to think it did not originate very far from thnt office. Jt is well known that the government does not intend to appoint any more supreme court judges for this province. Tlio intention is to allow the nunber of these judges by natural causes to be reduced to throe, the ndmber required to constitute a supreme court. As vacancies occur they will be filled by the appointment of county court judges, who will be required to reside within their several* districts. The districting of the supreme court judges hus proved a failure. Whether it is the fault of the judges or the government or the country we shall not say, and as far as the results are concerned it does not matter. If the present judges will uot take the places to which they are appointed, the people can hardly be called uncharitable if they look with some impatience to the time when* there will be only three supreme court judges, and when every one of the important districts will have a resident judge of its own. Tke Presidential Election. It will not surprise the readers of Tim Columbian to learn that Gro- ver Cleveland, Governor of New York and Democratic candidate, has beeu elected President of the United States, We say elected, ns that is the purport of the telegrams at the present writing, although it is not impossible that frauds or mis takes of sufficient consequence to upset the election muy yet come to light, It seems to bo morally certain, however, that Cleveland has carried the country, and for the present we shall permit ourselves to indulge tliis belief. It is not too much to say that the nomination of Blaine as Republican candidate was A grand party blunder. A man whose character the eonvpntion must have known to be corrupt is put up because of party exigencies. He was not trusted even by his own party, and his ability, united to a well-known selfishness which had driven him to prostitute his official position for private ends, should have boen sufficient to bur him out of the contest for the position of president of a great nation. We are extremely sorry for the defeat of the Republican party, but we are glad that Blaine lias been beaten. Tlie fact mny be accepted as an indication that the moral sentiment of the United States is not wholly lost, In many places Republicans of principle and probity stood up against Blaine as a party leader because they believed him to be corrupt. They cherished a more lofty regard for principle than for party, and to them tho result must be particularly grateful. The contest has alienated thu sympathies of limit)- prominent Republicans from their own people, and hns demonstrated tho fact that party lines are not barriers over which it is always infamous or futile to bolt. We honor the men who liavo suffered the reproach of their own political friends for the sake of the principles whieh governed tlieir actions. For ovor twenty years tho country has been under Republican rule. During these years the party has dono many things which it may be proud of; but of late it has suffered the loss of moral strength through the corruption of its own acts. The change may do good. It mattera little what party is in power so long as public ntt'airs are administered with honesty and judgment. Lot tho Democrats show how they will manage the helm. Hoads and settlement. From Mr. Wm. Ross, tho energetic immigration agent uud superintendent of roads, wo'.learn somo particulars respecting the roadwork and settlement of this district during the present year. At tho beginning of the season the people of the district wore led to expect that a large amount of road work would be done. The appropriations made by the government and assented to by tho legislature at its last session were considered extremely liberal when compared with what the people of this district had been accustomed to in previous years, and from the statements of Mr. Ross we are led to believe that the amount of work done for these appropriations has been large. We take great pleasure also in saying that wo have heard from the settlors in various parts of the districts numerous expressions of satisfaction with what has been done iu the way of road making. We have before us a map of the district upon which has been traced out the various roads made and repaired during the season, From tliis map one observes that the work of road- making has beon quito extensive, and that it has been spread over the whole district. Commencing on tho peninsula between tlie Fraser and Burrard Inlet we have a new road from this city to Granville, 9 miles; the North Arm road, from head of Sea Island to the gulf, 5 miles; Port Moody road, 8 miles; Coquitlam road, 5 miles; making a total of 27 miles new road. There have been repairs done as follows: Hastings road, 13 miles; North Arm road, 9 miles; North Arm and Granville, 4 miles; Pitt River road, 11 miles; Scott road, 1 miles; total, 38 miles. Passing on to Maple Ridge we have new roads as follows: Whonnock road, 3 miles; Stave River road, 5 miles; Kanaka Oreek road, 3Â£ miles; North Lillooet road, 2k miles; upper Stave River road, miles; total, 16 miles. These roads are principally a trunk road which it is intended, we believe, to extend from time to time until a continuous highway will have been completed as far as the Mission at least. At the Mission there have been H miles of new road built, opening up some promising new settlements. At Sumas and Chilliwhack the trunk road has been repaired for 19 miles, and the following new roads have been constructed: Lake shore road, 16 miles; landing road, 2*> miles; total, S_ miles. The lake shore road is really a divergence of the trunk road where it skirts Sumas lake. The route has been considerably changed because it; was found that it would be cheaper to construct 16 miles of new road thnn repair the old. The work was dono for less than 8400, whereas the estimated cost of repairing the old road was $7,500. Besides, this road is 2J miles shorter. At Matsqui Uiero have been 17 miles of new road built, known us the Barnes road, Ackerman road, Lehman road, Benson road, and landing road. Thu principal roads among these are two which run from the Fraser river to the Yale trunk roKd. There havo also been 13 miles of repairs dono in Matsqui. In the municipality of Langley there have been 17 miles of now road made, and 17 miles of repairs. The new roads are tho Cromarty road, tho Morrison road, tho Colonization road, and the road from Fort Langley. to the Yale trunk road. These roads open up some fine land a great deal of which is taken up. In Surrey there have been 22 miles of new road built, nnd 26 miles repaired. The now work embraces tho Coast Meridian, Hall's Prairie, Shannon, Serpentine, Johnston, and Hurt roads. It is hoped that next year a good road will be completed across Surrey from this city to the boundary line. There have been two large and costly draw bridges erected upon Surrey roads crossing tho Nicomekl river. Besides the roads specified there has been a good deal of road work done in the municipalities of Delta and Richmond. Thu total quantity of new road made in this district during the season amounts to nbout 125 miles, and the repairs about ns much more. It must be admitted, therefore, that the government has not been neglectful of the interests of the district, and it hns probably done as woll with the money as it was possible to do under the circumstances. Bui although a great deal of now rond hns been built, and old roads have beon repaired, thero still remains much work of this kind to be done. After all the expenditure made by the government during the past two years, tlie district is vory badly off for roads. There is not another district whicli has so greatly suffered from the neglect of tho governments of the past, and it will lie years before it can recover from the effects of that neglect. Wo hope to see the present vigorous road policy continued as long as the resources of the country will permit. There is no other way in which the permanent progress of tho country can Imj so effectively secured. The increase of settlers in this district is so rapid that new claims for roads are constantly springing up in quarters where they were not looked for. Tlie map before us not only shows the roads constructed; but it shows as well the quarter sections which have been taken up during the 10 months of this year. Some of our readers will perhaps be surprised when we say that there have been located iu this district alone, during the past 10 months, no fewer than 108C claims. It is estimated that the persons taking up theso claims would not average less than three to a family, so that the new comers located would amount to tho very largo number of 3258! This does not include persons who have come into the district nnd have not taken up laud. It must be patent that tliis large influx of settlers, taking up 173^761 acres of land, will necessitate large additional expenditures for new roads. There is much reason to be satisfied with the pro- grass and development of the year, and we look forward with great confidence to the future.

A Disgraceful Picture. â The Times has been making somo explorations in tho Chinese quarters of Victoria, nnd publishes statements which Bhould bring a blush to tho face of every official in that city.

The prospect presented by tho Times is not inviting. â¦ - Narrow Escape.âOn Wednesday night Capt. Pittendrigh had a squad of men drilling in the Drill Shed. They were exercising at rifle tiring. The squad was drawn up in lino, and went through tho usual motions as-ordered. Just bofore giving the word to fire, Capt, Pittendrigh stepped from in front to the end of the squad. They tired, and a bullet whizzed past Capt, Pittendrigh and went clean through tho walls of the shod! This was more thau either Oapt, Pittendrigh or the mon reckoned upon, and quite a sensation was produced. It is not known how the rifle came to be loaded with ball. The Kootenay Railroad. â Tlie Oregonian states that Mr. S. O.

They have also aurveyed.j the line for a railway connecting this' lake with tho Oolumbia river. This will bo about fifty miles long, imd work will .begin next year. Preliminary work has been suspended for the winter. - A Compliment.âTho Montreal correspondent of tho Toronto' Globe says: The prize of $500 for the best short story, to bo selected from among all competitors by a jury of experts, offered by the Youth's Companion, of Boston, has just been awarded to Mr. E. W. Thomson, of this oity. There were seven thousand manuscripts sent in for competition in the four classes into whieh the competition was divided, and the writers includod many persons of celebrity on both aides uf the Atlantic.

Sickness in the Mountains.âThe Calgary Herald has a statement whioh to aome extent confirms tho story of 'â -the Inter-Ocean correspondent concerning tho sickness nnd suffering among ihe Canadian Pacifio laborers in the mountain sectiou. The Herald snys; "There haB been a good deal of sickness among the men this season, mountain, fever prevailing to an alarming extont, and proving fatal in a. groat number of cases. This is due in a great measure to the almost incessant rains of the summer; but is is expected as the cold dry weather sets in the fever will disappear." -â Â«â â¢â â¦ Mother Craves' Worm Exterminator Is pleasant to take; Bure and effectual In destroying worms.

Contraband Whiskey.âDuring the past few months nn extensive trade has beeu going on, shipping alcohol and high wines into British Columbia, from Spokane Falls, via the Kootenay trail, Tho liquor goes to thu men engaged in the construction of the Canadian Pacific. To prevent intoxication nnd delays to the work,occasioued by excessive use of stimulants, tho Canadian Pacific has stendily refused to transport whiskey over the portions of its line constructed but not yet iu operation, nnd will not allow the snlo of liquor within twenty miles on either side of tho line. Its charter gives tho company exclusive jurisdiction over this much territory during the period of construction, There nre uow 4,000 mon at work on the east slopo of the mountatns, 250 milos north of Spokane Falls, and they will havo whiskey. The alcohol is shipped in on the back of mules, in fivo gallon tin cans, and left at the bordor of the twenty mile limit, wliere middle-men deal it out to railroaders through smugglers. The liquor is hardly equal to the better brands of Bourbon diluted with water and colored a little. It is less poisonous nnd more stimulating than tlio average rot-gut sold in Portland dives. The men engaged in the traffic are making a small fortune, as the railroaders pay oxtravaant prices for /the, stuff. A gentleman who is just down from Sandpoint, where all tho pack] trains pass, told an Oregonian uf occasional financial perils of tho trade. There are about 40 mounted police in the railroad employ who keep n sharp lookout for liquors. It is usually arranged to lmvo tho train arrive at the border line at night nud the cans are "onohed." This is known to n party of thieves, who several times have stolen the liquor nnd carried it to some other cache. Thuy in turn send it in* side the lines through smugglers and get pny therefor. The originnl owners nave no resourse because thero is no law outside the railway limit, and within tho Hues tho traffic is forbidden. Now they guard thoir children with shotguns.âPortland Oregonian. Street Excitement.âIt was fully expected that the prisoner Rogers, supposed to have shot Sterry, would come before tho magistrate's court on Wednesday morning. This was not done, however, and when it was ascertained that the case was postponed until Monday, many citizens expressed both disappointment and indignation; The streets wore full of small knots of people excitedly discussing the situation. It was pointed nut that thu nt-sizo court would sit on Wednesday, and if the man was not heard until Monday tho case would probable not como off until next Bpring, and in tho menn time something would probably turn up to defeat the ends of Justice. The prisoner, it was said, had money, and some people insinuated that thin fact was al tho bottom of the adjournment. Excitement ran so high that a considerable crowd was collected on the streot. Mr. W. D. Ferris, the magistmto who grantod tho remand, was waited upon and given to understand that the hearing must not be delayed until Monday or he and the lawyers might find themselves adorning the lamp post. Mr. Ferris said he had no wish to delay, but had granted the renewal at the request of Mr. Bole, wbo represented himself as prosecutor. The crowd then went to the court houso where Mr. Bole wns engaged and made known their object, Mr. Bole consented to go into the case on Friday (yeBterday), and the crowd dispersed. YeBterday morning it was stated that the case would not be heard until the afternoon. A large number of people went up to the court house, where Mr. Bole addressed them, stating thnt the cause of the delay rested solely with Mr. Ferris, and that he (Mr. Bole) was absolutely free from any wish to put off the examination. The crowd cheered Mr. Bole and thou a number of them waited upon Mr, Ferris, That gentleman very positively contradicted Mr, Bole's statement. He said that the remand had been granted upon Mr. Bole's application ! Subsequently Mr. Ferris went to Mr. Bole's office and accused that gentleman of stating untruths for tho purpose of gaining a little cheap popularity. Mr. Bole denied tbis h'jtly, and there followed an expressive interchange of sentiments on both sides. The reason the case of Rogers did not come up yestorday morning was because the deputy attorney-general intended to come up from Victoria to prosecute, and he could not reach this city until afternoon.

It now turns out that aftor two weeks delay the firm mentioned have withdrawn thoir tender. Whether they will loose their $7,500 deposit is another question. Larkin, Conloy & Co., of St. Catharines, nre now tho lowest tenderers, being some $30,000 higher thnn Starrs & O'Hanly. They nre expected from the west on Monday tn arrange matters with the government. Some say Larkin is careless about tbe matter, as their tender is even too low. Mitchell, of British Columbia, is the next highest to Larkin. This ia the third time that tenders have been called for this work, nnd the government will endeavor, if nt all possible, to let tho contract this time. The Globe, of the 27th, Bays : "It now appears that Messrs. Starrs & O'Hanly have not signed the contract for tho British Columbia graving dock, after alt their boasting, but bucked out nt the Inst moment.

This Messrs. Starr & O'Hanly were unable to do. It is also stated thnt the monetary institution upon which they relied for backing also declined to come tn time on learning of their low tender, nnd of the great difficulty and expense of constructing any sort of publio works at Esquimalt, where tho wator for mortar has to be brought five miles, and where the masons and other skilled workmen receive five to seven dollars per day.

From tlio Weok. The conferenco recently held iu London to promote Imperial Confederation affirmed the desirability of a closer poll tical union of tho Empire, prudently leaving tho mentis of attaining that object for future consideration. The grent journals of England seem unanimously to Iiave endorsed tho views and action of the conference, whioh have since been advocated on the platform by Lord Rose- bery and other prominent speakers. A proposed clause, to the effect that a closer union is essential to prevent total dismemberment, wns struck out of the resolutions at the desire, it is said, of a prominent Canadian. If this erased clause conveyed a truth, os I believe it i, did, it is a truth which should not have j been suppressed. Au early and constant recognition of it wonld surely help to bring tho presont agitation to somu practical conclusion. Separation is too serious n crisis to drift upon blindly and phlogmnticnlly. It is likely tliat England herself would shako off, sooner or later, colonies which accept the protection of hev ar.iiy, navy nnd diplomatic service without contributing one dollar to their support, aud which refuse to grant her commercial reciprocity, Somo of the North American "colonies cut adrift from the Mother Country because she tnxed them; possibly the Mother Country may cut adrift from tho others because they, indirectly, tax her. Bnt for the larger colonics also, whether it involvo theii* independence or honoruble union \ ith neighboring colonies or states, the dismemberment of tliu Empire seems preferable to their being subordinate dependencies for ever. If grown-up sons cannot co operate service- ably in business with each other and their parents, giving nnd taking a fair quid pro quo, batter for them' to net up tor themselves than keep tlie family together by continuing In infantile dependence on their father. Such important regions as Australia and Canada should bo full members in any imperial or re* Sublican union. They should politely ecliue back scats without tho privilege of speaking. At present the issues Canadian statesmen hnve to deal with aro too restrlcteil. | qualities needed to conduct these departments languish in this country and may eventually die uut from disuse, lu his memorable book, "Natural Law in the Spiritual World," Professor Drum- tuoud gives striking instances of the degeneracy attending the non-exercise of certain faculties in various animals. The hermit-crab, for example, having long ago adopted the cheap expedient of occupying vacant shells, "has ceased to exercise itself upon questions of safety and dwells in his little shell as proudly and securely as if its second-hand house wero a fortress erected especially for its private use, "Wherein, then, has the hermit suffered for this cheap but real solution of a practical difficulty? Whether its laziness costs it. any moral qualms, or whether its cleverness becomes to it a matter of congratulation, we do not know; but judged from the appearance tlie animal makes under the searching eye of the zoologist, its expedient is certainly not one to be commended. To the eye of science its Bin is written in tlie plainest characters on its very organ* izatton. It has suffered in its own anatomical structure just by as much as it has borrowed from an external source. .Instead of being a perfect crustacean it has allowed certain important parts of its body to deteriorate, and several vital organs arc wholly atrophied, Â»*â¢â â¢Â» "Ab an important item in the day's work, namely, the securing of shelter and safety, was now guaranteed to it, one of tho chief inducements to a life of high and vigilant effort was at the same time withdrawn. A number of functions in fact struck work. "Every normal crustacean has. the abdominal region of the body covered by a thick ohitinous shell. In the hermits this il-represented by a thin and delicate membraneâof which the sorry figure the creature cuts when drawn from its foreign hiding-place is sufficient evidence. Any one who now examines further this half-naked and woe-begone object, will perceive, also, that the fourth and fifth pairs of limbs are either so small and wasted as to be quite useless or altogether rudimentary; and, although certainly the additional development of' the extremity of the tail into an organ for holding on to its extemporized retreat may be regarded as a slight compensation, it is clear from the whole structure of the animal, that it lias allowed itself to undergo severe degeneration." This analogy was intended by Professor Druminond to explain the decay of the spiritual faculties due to sheltering oneself inertly in dogmas wiu'iout practising virtues or combatting doubts. But we may use it to foreshadow the decline of healthy political activity, and the consequent impairment of mental virility, in a country that elects to remain in leading strings. Aro not the beginnings of such a decline visible to-day? How petty are our interests, how small most of our public questions, how narrow our sympathies! How much more do Canadians generally speculate upon the prospects of a local election than on the prospects of a great war in wliich the Empire may be involved, but in the cost of which they have no immediate interest! Can we in this country be expected to feel tho same pride ns Scotchmen or loyal Irishmen in the exploits of nnanny or navy which they help to pay for but we do not. An Englishman feels a sense of ownership, as well as of security, whon ho sees a British ironclad at anchor in a foreign port; hut a Canadian can experience the latter feeling only. A Vorniouter can "enthuse" over a diplomatic success achieved by a Marylandcr, or fume over some foreign outrage to a Californian, with an excitement that no publio event outside provinoial or Dominion politics can arouse In the semi- enfranchised Canadian, who has nothing to do, directly or indirectly, with the cost or conduct of the Imperial army, navy, legislature, or diplomatic service. Yet some Canadian statesmen say, Sir Francis Hincks is quoted as saying, that wo doa't u-nnt any voice in the distant councils of the Empire. If so, in the name of our self-icspcct, lot us form or let us join somo sovereign body politio in wliich wc shall want and shall claim a hearing. For the degeneracy that arises from letting qualities lie fallow is less excusable in a nation than in a hermit-crab. The life of an individual !>agiiruB ends with the individual; the ife ot a nation continues from one generation to another. Could each Individual paguriiB reason, it might reason plausibly that, in its "life of nothings nothing worth," it pays to secure its private comfort at the expense of racial degeneration; but law-makers, who pro* fess to legislate for a nation and not themselves, cannot dare to formulate distinctly any such argument. The probability of Increased taxation is the most potent argument against Im* {erinl Confederation, Annexation, and ndependence. But it Is not a conclusive argument, at all events against the first two of these sehetn b, A certain increase iu taxation might be a cheap price for the Increased self-reliance and enterprise, and the larger patriotism to be expeoted from enlarging oar public needs and interestsâeven if the growth ot these qualities should not somewhat reduce the cost of administering existing departments ot our Government. Canadian patriotism at present displays itself mainly in the merit-barring cry of "Canada for the Canadians," "Manitoba for the Mnuitobnus," "Quebec for the Que- beckers," each county for its own poople, each town for its own townsmen. A take-all and give-nought disposition is being fostered by our semi-parasitic status. Such a disposition deters immigrants, and in the loug run impoverishes a State. Had not the "Know-nothing" furty been decisively defeated In the residential election of 1856, the subse* quent immigration would, no doubt, havo been smaller, and the growth of the country seriously retarded. To escape political degeneration (Involving to some extent mental, moral, and material degeneration also), wo must have co-ordinate, not subordinate, membership iu a British Imperial Confederation, or In the United States, or we must have Independence. The fact tliat the tirst of these -alternatives is at once pronounced Impracticable by most of our so-called politicians only shows Lhe cramping und numbing effect of our hcriiiit-crab condition ou our mental energies, and our growing inuliility or reluctance to grapple with large issues. If the greater colonies accept the principle of a co-ordinate union, in which Canada, Australia, Ireland, Scotland, England, shall bu politically tin* peers of one another, legislating and taxed fur imperial objects uivportiuuulty to their resources, the method will buari-auucd afterwards. The yearning of tliu dependencies of tiie Human Empire wus for full deltas, the right of voting and holding imperial offices. And the pride of full citizenship in a confederated British Empire would ho better grounded than even the pride of full citizen-ship in the Empire of Home. Such a confederation would dare auy European combination. With the alliance of its sister Anglo-Saxon power, the United States, it could smile at the jealousy uf othor groat, nation* and their somewhat tardy longings for colonial empire. "Why," we might then complacently nsk, with the self-righteousness uf our race, "do tho heathen so furiously rage together, and why do the people imagine a vain thing? Why do the kings of the earth stand up and the rulers take counsel together to break our bonds asunder T Know they not that we nre given tho heathen for our inheritance and the utmost parts of tho earth for our possession T" Two Remarkable Meteors. A correspondent iu Lafayette, Alabama, gives an interesting account of two meteors observed by him ou the night of tho 14th of August. The first meteor was unusually large and brilliant, exploding duo west, nnd vanishing without leaving a trace behind. It was seen about midnight. The second meteor was seen fifteen or twenty minutes later, was as large as ita predecessor, and exploded in a south-southeast direction. After the exploaion of the fire ball, a train of light remained visible for eight or ten minutes, at first motionless, and theu slowly changing from a straight toa curvilinear form. The moon shone brightly at the time, the atmosphere was clear,*, and both meteors were sufficiently brilliant to make the shadows of the two observers and the shnde trees in their vicinity almost as plain as in sunlight. Our correspondent thinks that the first phenomenon could not have been a meteor, because it came to a sudden "standstill," and asks, "What was it ?" Both phenomena are probably due to the same origin, the matter that circulates in inter-planetary space, and, according tu size* isolation, or constituents, takes form as meteoric stunes, fire balls, or shunting stars, all being classed under the head of aerolites, and being merely varieties of tho same phenomenon. They vary in weight from the meteoric stone in Brazil estimated to weigh 14,000 pounds to the shouting star weighing a few grains, They vary in brilliancy from meteors shining brightly in the noonday presence of the sun to the tiny falling stars that only sharp sighted observers caH discern as a vanishing point of light. They vary in continuance from the fire balls that burst and leavo behind, in a few recorded instances, luminous trains shining for an hour after the body disappeared, to those that split into fragments, and leave scarcely a trace of thoir presence. They vary in the noise they produce from detonations like thunder or the firing of cannon to the slight sounds that only a vigilant ear can detect. They vary in number from the count* less myriads that people the meteor zones to the solitary specimens that frum time to time show themselves iu our sky, and then vanish forever. They aru all due tu the same cause. The earth as Bhe moves in her orbit encounters these cosmical atoms iu her course. Both bodies aro moving with immense velocity, and in opposito directions. The meteors rush headlong against our atmosphere, are ignited by the concussion and fall to the earth as stones, or are crushed into impalpable dust. The two meteors observed by our correspondent probably belonged to the class known as fire balls. It is nut impossible, if the train of the second meteor was yellow in color, and it radiated from the constellation Perseus, tliat both meteors were members uf thu August meteor zone,' thruugh which the earth waB passing about that timo. Meteors belonging to this group have been observed of great she and brilliancy, and with nn estimated weight of seven pounds, Tho observer uf the meteors also records a fine show of, falling stars on the 10th. As the show often continues fur several nights, we are somewhat inclined tu this theory, for we hnve nut infrequently seen members of the group as large as the planet Veuui exploded with a sound distinctly audible, and leave behind n shining train. âScientific American. _ ^ . .-- N.

The next battle-cry of the liberals in all probability will be that the "Bishops will have to go." The day whioh wit esses thoir departure from tbe house of lordsâin other words, the separation of the church from the state, so earnestly desired by many churchmenâwill see the removal of the last barrier between the democratized musses aud the lords themselves.

The tide lias now receded and the water making its disappearance. It came ao suddenly that none of the merchants were prepared for the flood. They were generally notified about expecting an unusually high tide. This morning the tide, as ujual, gave no idea of the approaching flood. Hence no action was taken.

Along tho crost of the ridge between the Mnlnkoff Tower and thn rnvinu at the head of the Man-of-War Harbor runs a zigzag seam of crumbling and grass-grown earth, almost obliterated in mure places than one.

"I have said already what mistakes we make, Catherine, often in our own careerâalways about other people, my dear." Upon thia Catherine laughed, not having, though she esteemed her old relation greatly, as much respect for her judgmont as probably it deserved. Miss Vernon was too sensible a woman either to feel or express any contempt for her own sen, as clever women who were not sensible used to do in those daya; but there was an undertone in her mind of indifference, to Bay the least, of another woman's opinion. She had a feeling thnt it could not bu any better, aud most likely was not so good, as her own; for she had held a position not usual among women, and knew that not many would have proved equal to tho emergency ae ahe did, What the old captain snid would have impressed her more than wlmt his wifo said, and this although Bhe was perfectly awaro that the old lndy in many casus was considered the moro judicious of the two. "I know you nre both fanatics for Hester," Bhe suid, "who is not my favorite aa she is yours, You must tako caro that Konald does not fall n victim to her. Thero arc few girls about, and hi that case, when young men have a mind to mnke fools of themselves, thore is no choice. Do not shake your kind hend off; you know thia is a thing in which wo have agreed we shnll never think alike." "Never is a long day," aaid thu old lady, tranquilly. She was well used to waiting. In her experience an many things hnd come to pass which no one expected. Even now, ahe said to herself, if any ono had told her that Ronald Ashton would ono duy be under her roof-â She added quietly, "You nre too much alikotodo each other jus lice." At this Catherine grew red. It had been intimated to her before, and ahe had scarcely been nble to support tho imputation. But ahe mastered herself with an effort. Nowhere, perhaps, but in thia house would bIio have done bo; but theae old people had au ascendency over her whicli she could not explain. "We will say nothing on that point," she snid, quickly. "Your news hns taken me so completely by surprise. Are you sure of it? Why ahould Mrs. John's daughter have rejected ao excellent a settlement? Sho is looking for something better, I suppose?" "I think thnt was a mistake, too," said the old lady. "She says herself thnt Harry, though he iB uot clever, is good and true. Ah! it is you who shake your head now. Iu some things even our Catherine fails. He is not tho equal of Hester; but it ia not my opinion thnt a man need be nlwnya superior to his wife. Whore thero is lovo, it doea not matter, I should have been pleased to see it; but she is young; she thinks differently. She is looking for nothing consciouslyâ-but .in her heart for love, which is tho visitor one is always looking for when onoisyouna." "Pshaw!" said Catherine; "it is the old people that are romantic, not the young. It iB the settlements thut are the things to bo considered; or perhaps she is thinking of a title? Her mother is capable of any nonsense," she said, with a scornful laugh. Mra, Morgan made no reply. Hor peaceful aspect, with her folded hands, tho soft little smile on her old mouth, the Blight shake of the head, was, perhaps, a trial of patience for the other, who felt herself thrown back into the category of the young and auperlicial by this culm expectation . and quietnesB. Catherine Vernon wns still' in tho region uf prejudice and dislike; alio had not lived into that superior sphere of toleration and calm. Impatience -filled her veins; but she mastered herself, the atmosphere subduing hsr. And Captain Morgan camo hobbling bnck, huving calmed himself down too. "Ellen has come back," said Miss Vernon, to change the subject, "from Paria, clothes enough for all tho neighborhood. It amuses me to think of her among the bonnet-shops, What true enjoyment! and scarcely lesa now to show thom to her friends, Now there ia n pleasure you cannot enjoy, uncle. A man could not call Iub . friends together to look at his now hata;" "There '-Â» no telling what a young man can do in the wny of folly, till lie is put to ii," said the captain, "I am loath to recognize any inferiority. What do you think about all those failures, Cathorine? or, rather, if you hnve withdrawn from it, what do the boyB think?" "I hope I am still capable of giving an opinion," said Miss Vernon. "None of them touch ub, which is tho chief thing. For my part, speculation in this wild way is my horror. If yuu could seo tho propnauU that used to bo put before me! Not nn undertaking that was not tho safest nnd the surest in tho world! Thu boys are well in-, dootritiated in my opinions on that subject. Thoy know bettor, I hope, than to snatch nt a high percentage; and tuso the substance, the good lion* est capital, which I lovo. I think," she continued, "there is a little of a miser in me, or perhaps you will any in all women. I love to see my monoy âto count it nvor like theâ By-tho* way, it was tho king that did that whilo the queen wns eating hor bread nnd honey. That goes against my theory." "A good many things go against your theory. They aay that thero nre uo auch wild speculators as women. It aeeuia easy tn them that a aurt of miracle should happenâthutaimiotliing should come out or nothing." "They havo not hnd my e::porionco," aaid Cathorine. "But Edward nad Hnrry nro ns steftdy ns two churches; that is," she added, with a comph coney which thoy nil recollected afterward, "Edward is the head; the other, fortunately, hns the good-sense not to attempt tu think for himself," "Hosloi* would have done thnt for him," said Mra. Morgan, in au undertone; bnt Catherine caught it, and went on with heightened color; fur the idea that Hesterâthat girl!â might have had something to say in the government of the bank struck her as if some one had givon her a blow. "Edward is the heart nnd soul of everything," ahe said. "How fortunate it wu for me that my choice foil upon that boy! I should say that ho had an old head on young shoulders, but that I don't like the conjunction. Ho is young enough. Ho has always been accustomed to family life, and loves his home." "It him douM," Hid Captain Mor gan, kindly, "that ho has had the advantage of your own experience and teaching moro than the other, Catherine." "That would bo a delightful thought for me," Miss Vernon said, with n suffusion of pleasure in her oyes. "Perhaps there is some truth in it. I have done my best to share my lights, sueh as they are, with him; but he goes beyond me. And to think that I hesitated between Edward and Harry! I hope I am grateful to Providence that turned me to the best. The other family nro following out their lot quite characteristically. Ellen's husband has a good deal of worldly sense, which ia wanting to that bit of a butterfly. He is trying hard to get hor to make up to me. She has come to Bee me twice, full of pretty speeches nbout Algy's groat respeot for me. Human nature," said Catherine, with a laugh, "is ub goodânay, far betterâ timn a play. How cunning it thinks it ia, but in reality how very easy to see through!" Here old Mrs. Morgan begau to shake her head again, smiling always, but with an indulgent, gentle contradictor! noas, whicli wns more near making Miss Vornon angry than anything she had encountered in tliis house before. "What does she sit there for, liko a Chinese idol?" said the captain. "She has a wonderful opinion of herself, thnt old woman. Human nature may bo easy to see through, but it is very hard to understand, Catherine. Whnt is that the Bible says about'deceitful nbove nil things?' When yuu try to got hold of yourself, did you evor tinti a moro slippery customer? There's a kind of amusement in it when you aro up to all your own dodges." "Rowley, my dear! said tho old lady, surprised. "It ia true, I am too old for slung; but ono picks it up, and sometimes it is happy enough. I suy when you aro up to your own dodges; but thnt is diflicult, and takes a great deal of time. To find yourself trutting forth the same old pretenses thnt you did nt twenty, attempting to throw the same sort of dust in your own eyes, is wonderful. There is a sort of urtlossnesB in tho artitico that is amusing, ns you say; but it ia only amusing when you nro strong onough to get tho uppor hnnd." "When which of you gets the uppor hand; for thero seem to bo two of you," aaid Catherine, not ao much amused in her own person ns sho mndo n pretenso of being, for thia was certainly not hor viow. "To be aure," aaid tho old captain, "thoro are two of you, wo all know that; and iu moat cnaea one of ynu n very silly fellow, taken iu on evory hand, while tho other man sniggers in his sleeve. Of course I nm speaking from my own Bide; Indies may bo different from anything 1 know. But, after all," ho went on, "I don't think so; for I've been a woman myself, ho to Bponk, through her, for sixty years âtlint is a long spoil. I don't boo much difference, though in aome things she has got to the laat word sooner than I." "I think wo mean different things," said Catherine, rising; "thnt was not the view I wns taking. Yours is buttor in the moral aspect, for I suppnao it is more profitable to judgo ourselves than others; but one cannot alwaya be studying one's self." There was a half apology in her tone, and nt the same timo a half impatience. Sho did not desire to bo turned from the comedy which sho had, in hor way, enjoyed for years- seeing through, as Bhe snid, nil the Httle world of dependents thnt hung about her, drawing out Iheir weaknesses, perceiving tho bitter grudge that lay under their exterior of smiles, and the thousand wnys in which thoy mnde up to themselves for the humiliation of being in hor debtâin order to turn to what' might prove the leas amusing contemplation of her own weaknesses, or recognize the element uf evil in that which wna certainly uot amusing. Her carriage was standing nt the gate which admitted to the garden front of the Vernonry, nnd it was with a sense of comfort that she got rid of thu old captain at his door, nnd threw a koon, half-laughing glance at the windowa on the other side. Mr. Mildmay Vernon waa making himself very uncomfortable at tho only angle of his room, which permitted him to aee the gate, watching for her exit. He kissed his hand to her na she paused nnd lookod round before getting into tho carriage, and Cathorine realized, as if she had semi it, the snarl of mockery with which this sulu* tiitiiui was accompanied. In the intervening space were the two sisters keeping tho meat vigilant watch for her re-up pea ranee, counting the minutes which she spent on the other side of the house, and .saying ill-natured things to each other aa they nodded and waved their hands. She- wus aware nf tho vory tone in whioh these speeches would no made as well as if she hnd heard them; and it gave her a groat sense of enjoyment to reflect that thoy wure all sitting in rooms well warmed nnd carefully kept, and full of benevolent provision of ull thoir wants, while they thus permitted themselves tu sneer and snarl at the bestower. Just ns she drove away, Hester, by chance, opened tho veranda door, and camo out to gather soma of tho loaves of the Virginia creeper which wero dropping with every blast. Hester's serious eyes mot hers, with scarcely any greeting nt utl on eithor aide. Catherine did not knew very well how it wns that this girl camo into thu comedy. Had sho beon Harry's betrothed, Miss Vernon could have understood it; nnd, though she could not but have felt the triumph of hor old rival, yet it would have added delightfully to the commonplace'drama iu which evorybody pursued their own moan ends undor high-sounding pretenses. Sho would havo boen able to smilo nt the commonplaco young follow taken in by tho delusion that he was lovod for himself, and laugh in tho conviction that Hnrry Â» was no deop affection to bo woundod, but that ho could quite woll take enro of himsolf, nnd that betwoen these two it would be diamond cutting diamond. But the present state of affairs she did not understand. All that was amusing in it wna tho doubtless unbounded dianppointment of the scheming littlo mother, who thus must find nil her fine schemes collapsing in hor bunds. She could not refrain from mentioning the matter nt dinner, that ovening, though Edward had a littlo failed on the formor occasion in tlint backing up of all her opinions and feelings which she had been accustomed to expect from him. "I find thoro Ib to be no match such ns that wo wore speaking of," bIio said. "Harry has either drawn back, or ho ia refused. Perhaps it may bo thnt he has thought hotter of it," aho added, 8iiddenly,withoutpreineditntioii,arudg- ing, ns porhaps was natural, to let her young antagonist carry off tho honors uf tho day, (To ho Continued,) IMPORTERS AND WHOLESALE DEALERS IN Groceries, Provisions, Liquors, *E3!
