In enumerating those beautiful qualities of mind and heart that have won for Aid. John A.

While it is admitted that the worthy alderman from the east ward has delved deeply and assidiously in the mines of literature and art and made many and various peregrinations in the field of science, he has \et won renown in a far different sphere. Indeed, many go so far as to say that Mr. Irving could abandon both those subjects and still put forward a strong claim to the title of a great humorist. This is a sweeping contention, but before dealing with it at length The Economist craves a moment to explain what may seem an intentional slight. This \"paper has long been aware ot the fact that Aid. Irving had concealed about his person the germs of a humorist, but space did not permit a lengthy reference to such'an exhaustive subject. The dignity and gravity with which John Irving wore the cap and bells was intended to be dealt with in a separate chapter; the ground could not be covered in the contracted space allotted an average newspaper article. For some reason unknown to the general public, but which may be justly attributed to mod- eBty, Mr. Irving has been seemingly content with the rewards which come from the disposal of hen fruit and other vulgar articles of commerce, but the latent talent was there, and like the volcano was ready to spit lava in due season. That time came last Saturday, when Mr. Irving for the time being gave over the edifying occupation of drawing the attention of the public to the special qualities of his codfish, etc., and in his advertising space in the Tribune, of this city, announced that he extended the compliments of the holy season to one and all, even to Nelson's only poet, the publisher of The Economist, or words to that effect. At first sight this might Beem like a reflection on long-haired poets in general and the sweet singer of The Economist in particular. Nothing could be further from the mark. Mr. John A. Irving goes into ecstasies over poetry, particularly blank verse. As o matter of fact, his intimate friends know that this highly polished gentleman has consumed many measures of midnight oil poring over the lines of Hamlet's address to the skull of the jester: \"Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.\" This, it is submitted, is the strongest possible evidence that Mr. Irving's advertisement waB one of those delightful jokes which ono day must bring him fame and renown. And different from the average humorist who expects pay for his mirthful conceits, Aid. Irving pays for the publication of hi jokes regu- ]ar advertising rates. This shows the independence of the great man. It is idle to con tend, as some of his enemies are doing, that the inspiration of this joke came from the fountain of all good, namely, the distorted intellect of the editor of the Tribune. In order that this joke may not be made the subject of another cryptogram, as was don3 in the case < f another famous author, William Shakespere, The Economist wishes to make it a matter of record now, henceforth and forevermore that the joke belongs to Mr. Irving. And rightly so. Didn't he pay for it? Here, The Economist is willing to rest its case, and in doing so, it believes it has established beyond all doubt that as a humorist Aid. John A. Irving has chiselled his fame in material more enduring than marble. Future ages will laugh at the merry jest of the versatile genius who could weigh out a pound of sugar with one hand and at the same time off his own bat write a highly edifying joke with the other. Last year 640,000 gallons of various kinds of Austialian wines were imported into the United Kingdom. One hundred thousand tons of rock were displaced by a recent big blast at the Good- wick pier works. The News of Thursday was a most creditable holiday number. It contained a vast amount of interesting information, and not the least was the interview with the leading bank managers of the city. It is gratifying to note that these gentlemen without one single exception speak hopefully of the future of the interior. They are in the best position to judge in matters of this kind, and when they express the belief that we are on the eve of good times, there is good ground for taking hope as to the future. professional and amateur. Judged by this standard Nelson has something to be proud of. As the dignified but unfortunate Dean, Mr. C. B. Winter was nearly faultless, and the same might be said of Mrs. Davis as u George Tid,\" the Dean's sister and the \"Queen of the Turf.\" Mrs. Davys as \"Hannah Topping\" and Mr. Blakemore as uBlore,\" the butler, played their subordinate parts admirably, though Mr. Blakemore found some difficulty adapting his figure to that of ah elderly servitor. Mr. Eden surprised his friends ; he forgot his lines occasionally, but he certainly caught the spirit of his role, and succeeded in looking the sporting baronet. Mr. Newling as the constable bulked too largely in his scenes. It seems to require some special faculty to accept one's part as subordinate ; everyone cannot be the \"leading lady.\" Mr. Bell as the stable boy had little to do, fortunately. Miss Betty Johnstone made a creditable theatrical debut and gave promise of some dramatic talent. Mrs. Clements who took Miss Manhart's place at short notice probably did as well as could be hoped for under the circumstances ; it is hard to appear at ease when listening constantly for the prompter. Mr. Ward and Mr. Reilly took the parts of cavalry officers, who are courting the Dean's daughters. The parts should contribute greatly to the humor of the play; both were painful in the extreme. It would be unkind to themselves and the public to encourage the gentlemen or either of them with the idea of ever being able to act. The entr'acte performances, Mr. Hedley's violin solo, and Mr. Lochore's song, were a delight to lovers of music. Both were enthusiastically encored. The municipal contest is beginning to assume shape. Dr. Rose has announced himself as a candidate for mayor, and this afternoon it was believed that his opponent would be the present occupant of the chair, Mr. Frank Fletcher. For aldermen many names are mentioned, and it is quite likely that within twenty-four hours th .re will be a big field to select from. This is going to be an important year in the history of Nelson, and it is desirable that good business men should be chosen, irrespective of clique or class. The first night of the New Year was celebrated in Nelson by the presentation of Pin- ero's four-act comedy, \" Dandy Dick,\" by the Dramatic Society. There was n good house and on the whole the play was a success. Newspaper criticism of a play is primarily for the protection and benefit of the public, but when tne players are local amateurs any intelligent criticism should be of benefit to them also. There is probably n. thing more irritating to a serious amateur than the praise, \"good for amateurs.\" Acting is an art and there can be but one standard of judgment for The Tribune suspects The Economist is in the confidence of the Prior Government. This paper is not seeking the confidence of anyone, but aims simply to be honest and straightforward with all men, something the Tribune could not be. Just now the editor of that paper, after eucking the lemon dry, is abusing the Prior Government on the street corners and in the columns of his paper. If he thought it could pull through another session he would laud it to the skies. In this respect, at least, the Tribune editor cannot be regarded an anarchist. He supports governments until they are just about to fall. Then he sidesteps to get out of the way of the wreck. The late Sir Frederick Abel was tho inventor of the smokeless explosive known as cordite, adopted bv the British Government. To reach America in three days with about a third of the usual coal consumption, is the dream of Mr. John Wills, who has just patented a novel engine for marine propulsion.

We could run pretty much to suit ourselves then_ and it goes without sayin' we had lots of enjoyment. Take for instance, the fun Jim Larking and me had one night, about fifteen years ago. You see Jim and I were both courtin' the same girl, both bein' engineers on the Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta road, between Columbia and Charlotte. Ever been down there? Well even yet. the road ain't quite as good a\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD it might be, but in those davs it was a sight worse. The tracks were laid with the old time U rails on ties five foot apart and spliced with fish plate. When the wheels struck one end of the rails.the other end tilted up, and I tell you it made a nervous man seasick the first time he travelled over that line. We had no telegraph wire, eo we could do pretty much as we pleased around Columbia, the superintendant bein' located at Charlotte. Many a time we used to get an engine after dark and take a ride for fun. The only trouble was that, as the engines were old and rickety they couldn't stand much. They were wood burners, and nowadays would look top heavy with their little hoilerp and big stacks. When one of them got a, crood move on after dark, T tell you it looked like a runnin' display of fireworks, the stack throwin' out sparks and chunks of blazin' wood like a volcano. Old man Smith, that's Mollie'\" father, didn't like me near as well as he did Jim, but seein' Mol- lie preferred me, I wapn'carin' much about her father's opinion. It was no nee for us to\"get spliced in Columbia, for everyone knew that her father had issued an order to her not to be seen with me; so the only tlv'ng for us to do was to walch our chanee and go off to some place a Ion a the line. I thought it over for several davs, and got the whole thing in shape. I told Mollie to come down to the roundhouse about seven o'clock one nieht and T would give her a little ride on my engine. She afraid? Well I guess you don't know her. , Why, she had run the machine herself many a time. I had given the hint to Jack, my fireman, and he, was on hand when I I backed out on the main track, leavin' Jim's engine in the roundhouse.' Mollie was watin', and she jumped on the tank like an engineer's sweetheart ought to do. Just a6, we were pul- lin' out Jim came round the corner. His eves opened I tell vou. 'Where you goin' Bill ?' he shouted. Must ont for a little ride,' r remarked, coolly puttin' Mollie up on the box in front of mo so I had to put my arms around her to reach thelevers, I saw Jim gasp andstarton a run toward Mollio's house, where he knew her father was In two minutes we were spining in three hurnmin', and in five minutes wo were tearin' through tho valley like a cyclone. It was a pitch dark night and not a, thing could be seen ahead. 'There they come,' yelled Jack ot .fi.vtf',fi'a^,1^,4 before wo had gone ten miles. Lookin' back i .__ __^_^_^^^_^_t______._^__^__^_t___^ we saw a shower of sparks just visible above the tree tov.s. We concluded at once that that was Jim ind Mollie's father, and that we would have to do somew her over the premises. The superintendent threw open the door of the steaming kitchen in which there were some half-dozen washerwomen bending over tubs. \"Ladies,\" she said, in a dramatic voice, \"a woman from the government to see you!\" The Archbishop of Canterbury, who had a red nose, paid a visit to the village school, and, after telling the scholais that everyone; possessed a besetting sin, astonished his youthful hearers by continuing, \"And even Archbishops!\" \"I wonder who can guess what, the Archbishop's besetting sin is?\" asked.his grace. One little lad timidly held up his hand, and on being invited to give an answer said, '\"Drunkenness!\" What the archbishop thought or said at this amusing reply is not recorded, but as everyone knows Dr. Temple was a most ardent .teetotaler. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD v i,it*ftmii,. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD fl ' Janet had mo ulded the domestic affairs of a Boston family for so many years that the news of her intended marriage had much the effect of an earthquake. \"Have you and David been engaged long ?\" ventured the mistress of the household. \"One week when next Sabbath comes,\" stated Janet, briefly. \"And\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand had you any thought of marrying before that?\" asked her mistress. 1 \"Times I had and times I had not,\" said the imperturbable Janet, ''as any person will.
