Victoria Colleges, and Laval University, marched np to the Windsor Hotel to escort the iiovermor General to the Lansdowne Toboggan Slide.The students did no*, bave long to wait.When his Excellency appeared they were in two lines, opened up their ranks, faced Inwards, and sang \u201cGod Save the Queen.\u2019\u2019 His Excellency was accompanied by Lady Lantdowne and others, and drove op the lane formed by the students, who had jnst left room for the sleigh to pass.The occupants of the sleigh had a splendid chance to look at the divers face*, which were much more miliciens, ugly, and distorted than those of tbe real medicos of onr day, who usoallv have very handiome faces They had put on tnelr Sunday worst In the shape of masks, and, to say the least of It.It savored very much of the * Arabian Nights \u201d to see the fair lady and her husband guarded on each side by men wVh monkeys', bull dogs\u2019 and varions other kinds led god myself to stand by the Army so long as t is blessed by God to the salvation of aonls.This pledge I intend to keep.In a letter on the subject the Bishop says to me, * I do not see how yon can.with any self-respect or regard to honor, accede to the condition 1m posed by the Dean that yon ahonld give up all connection with the Salvation Army.\u2019 The Bishop baa also declined to arrange with the Dean to give me Christchurch, Cataraqut.as a separate charge, or to license me as an Evangelist in Kingston, on the ground that it is beyond his power to do so.There seems, therefore, no other course open for me but to seek work In some other part of God's field.This I now Intend to do.I hope and pray to return to Kingston about the 10th of February, eettle up my affairs thare, bid yon a deserving farewell, and go whither God may lead me.\u201d Dr.Wilson's friends held a meeting on Monday night, and arranged to have a reception and presentation.\u2014Kvangtl ical Ch lire ft man.THE ARTISAN OF THE FUTURE A neat and important question ot the day.which has had very little attention paid to It, if, \u201cOnr Artisan of the future.How Is hv being tralnedf\" Numbers of people paea It over with the remark tnat, by the role of supply being always equal to demand, there need be no trouble about this matter.This Is a mistaken argument, or rather no argument at all, when applied to skilled labor.It may srand good with regard to certain commodities, wh*n It may be said that «apply creates a demand, bnt this U no answer tothe question asked above : unskilled labor, with few exceptions.Is generally at a discount, bnt skilled labor canin most eases command Its price.The system of apprenticing yonng men to a trade is slowly but surely dying out, and hence the Importance of tbe question, asked at tha head of this paper.It a dozen men were asked their opinion, no two woald give the same answer to this question, and each one would make a statement that would bear upon It.Looking at things from an apprentice's point of view, we cannot be surprised that young men are unwilling to be apprenticed and serve some years of drudgery In its lowest sense, especially now when there are so many openlnge which are looked upon as being more \u2018 genteel\" and in which they can earn wages without the outlay of a premium.This view of the question is one thst must be looked In tbe face, and our remarks on skilled and unskilled labor are vary strong reasons for doing so.Any sensible man will acknowldege that a skilled artisxn must held a much superior position to a great many of those so called genteel callings In whlcn the supply Is more than equal to the demand, and in which only a very low rate of wages can be earned.No doubt, masters will say tint they must have some return for any little trouble they may take with their young men, also for loss by dsmage and watte of materials, as well s»for the extra time they may take inexecuting work committed to them to execute, bnt tbe mutera lost in tnla direction would be more than compensated If they properly trained their young men so that eventually they would do more and better work.Therearo numbers of causes which doubtless have an effect on the decline of the apprenticeship system, and If tbejr cannot be removed something will have to bo done, and the question that hu to be answered Is, what la the best thing to do ?\u2014 Unitary

politician.Ho Is alert to all that Is transpiring and seeks only to furthor his own ends regardless of the ones who gave him his authority.The bald-headed Individual in the fourth row has occupied that ehalr for years.Ho has never been known to make e speech, but he is always present when voting Is to bo done.Tbe string of lobylsts aronnd the enter edge\u2014voitures In dlsguLe am waiting, and meanwhile, occasionally working.It is a mixed mass end Washington Is a moat cosmopolitan city.It Is the focal polntof the nation\u2019s goodness and badness\u2014largely the latter.Bnt notwithstanding this vast collection of evil there Is mneh that is truly good and noble among tbe people at the greet capital.There are men here who are wholly devoted to the highest good of mankind, and they are men who shine all the brighter by reason of the In-rlncerlty by which they are surrounded.Preeminent among theae few is the Rev.J.E.Rankin, D.D., pastor of the First Congregational Chareb.Dr.Rankin Is known to srsrv CoDgregatioaallst and most of the {members of Other church d?D?lDatlons throughout this country, while In Washington he isiooked up to by the Inhabitants of the entire city as weQ as by those in authority.In conversation with the writer, not long since, he said : \u201c Hardly a day passes that I am not eon-suited by various people regarding\\helr physical and spiritual condition.Many of them are outside of my congregation, but I have made It a iule to render all tho assistance in my power to my fellow-men whenever 1 may find them In need of It.\u2019\u2019 \" Do not theae people largely Interfere with your studies and other duties, doctor f\u201d \u201cTosome extent; but I never tarn e deef ear to any enquiries.It Is surprising how many persons ere really suffering in this world end bow many others are In great physical danger and do not know It.I meet men and women constantly who are troubled with bead-aches, a bad taste In the mouth, a loss of appetite, occasional pains through the body, feverishness, Inability to sleep well and a general lack of Interest in life.They are aware thr t their strength Is failing, but do not realize th j cause.Now my lonfe experience has taught mo that all these troubles arise from the derangement of one or two Important organs of the body, and that only by relieving and restoring these organs can health be secured.\u2019\u2019 \u201c And are you able to advise so as to reach the.successfully In the many cases that have come to you t\u2019\u2019 \u201c Almost always.1 learned several years ago of a most unnsoal remedy that proved beneficial In my own family and among my friends, and I have recommended It In Innumerable cases since tben.This remedy Is Warner\u2019s Safe Cure, and I believe as thoroughly la Its efficacy as 1 do that the Genesee river empties In Lake Ontario.\u201d \u201c You say it is harmless and yet powerful, Doctor ?\u201d \u201c Entirely harmless and yet so powerful that I have known it to care somo terrible cases of Bright\u2019s disease of the kidneys even when In the last stages, This Is a fearful malady and Is siillctlBg more public men to-day than any other one tronble.It starts from small beginnings such as I before mentioned to youlend grows until It overshadows tbe entire life.It is a scourga that all may dread.\u201d \u201c Do you not find, Doctor, that a weakened physical condition often puts e person In a state where be Is more opt to accept the troths of the gospel t\u201d \u201c No.Quite the reverse.Religion which Is only aroused when sickness comes, I have fonnd to be of a very questionable nature, and I seek to restore the health usually, before trying to attract the mind toward the truths of the gospel.\u201d If America possessed more men like Doctor Rankin the unhappiness in life would be greatly lessened.And It Is gratifying to find one who not only desires to direct men towards Heaven, but who seeks to Smooth their pathway on earth by relieving their physical troubles.That the means he employs is a wonderfully efficient one, bis own experience as well as that of thousands of others In all parts of the land

aCBaCAIAMAA (The 5aUn Witness.«0 FRIDAY FEBRUARY 8, 1884- The Members of the committee of a London cinb have been fined two thonnand five hundred dollsrs each for keeping a gambling house, and tbe plsyers fire hundred dolisrs each.Some dabs nearer here bhouid take warning.There are active moraiih'i on both aides of the Atlantic.Mr.Hall, M.P., has put on the paper a very natural qoeetion, namely, whether any ay*t»m of lif*-annuities ia to be added to the ravings bank department of the postal seivice.If Mr.Hall were to aek why Govertment had not provided for annuities half a century ago, it wou'd puzzle any one who tad ever been a minister of the crown to answer.Hudi an obvious method of raising a considerable loan and such a useful service to the people could hardly be combined under one system.Somebody has cireala\u2019ed, to ail appearance very widely, a pamphlet, 11 The \u201c source of tbe evil of the limes in Canada \u201c bv a Catbolic.r As rv» ry prie**, is commanded

America Act established a constitution complete in itself, which does not require to be read and interpreted by any previous act.What has apparently misled Mr.LoroEger is a comparison between the American and Swiss federations and the Canadian confederation.\u201c It is of the \u201c essence of the federal system,\u201d says Mr.Loranger, \" that the central Government \u201c should have only the powers which are \u2022\u2022 conferred upon it by the varions states, '* and that these latter should keep to them-\u201c selves all the others.\u201d This is, no donbt, true of a confederation cf sovereign states, such as the varions American states were at the time cf the Union.The Canadian constitution is, and was intended to be, totally different, as Sir John Macdonald very clearly pointed out during the debates on Confederation in 1805, and it surely will be admitted that no ore had a more thorough knowledge of what constitution it was intended to give.Comparing Confederation with the Union of the American States, Sir John declared : \u201c They \u201c commenced, in fact, at the wrong end.\u201c They declared by their constitution that \u201c each State was a sovereignty in itself, \u201c and that all the powers incident to a '\u2022 sovereignty belonged to each State, ex-\u201c cept those powers which, by the conati-\u201c tution, were conferred upon the general \u201c Government and Congress.Here we have adopted a different system.We \u201c have given the general Government all \u201c the great subjects of legislation.Wo \u201c have conferred on them, not only speci-\u201c fically and in detail, all the powers which \u201c are incident to sovereignty, but wo \u201c have expressly declared that all sub-\u201c ject* of general interest not distinctly \u201c and exclusively conferred upon the local \u201c governments and local legislatures, shall \u201c be conferred upon tho general Govern-\u201c ment and Legislature.\u201d These words are plain enough, and their meaning can hardly be misunderstood.The statute is equal* ly explicit: \u201cIt shall be lawful for the \u201c Queen, by and with the advice and con-\u201c sent of the Senate and House of Com-\u201c moos, to make laws for the peace, order \" and good government of Canada, in re-\u201c la:ion to all matters not coming with-\u201c in the clasees of subjects by this net \u201cassigned exclusively to tho legislatures \u201c of tb» provinces.\" The imperial autho rity beyond question, Mr.Loranger\u2019s dreams of \u201ctreaties and imperial guarantees\u201d to the contrary notwithstanding, bad the power to give us a constitution in which the chief authority should rest with tbe central government, and it has apparently done so.Such being the case, wc fail to see how learned dissertations on the essence of federations can help us.Until the British North America Act is amended, Ottawa autJjoiity must, wo are very much convinced, continue to take precedence of provincial ambition.SUING JOURNALISTS.Mr.F, X.Archambault has entered an action against Mr.Gsorge Wallace and John P.Foote, for PIO.OOO damages for alleged Hint.This action Is baaed upon an

man Is, ehamlcally speaking, forty-fiva pounds of csrbon and nitrogen, diffused through five and a half pallfnls of water.In plants we find water that mingling no less wonderfully.A sunflower

growing wheat, on this calenletlon.draws and passe* ont abont ten tons of water per day.The sap of plants is tbe modlnm through which this mars of Hold Is conveyed.It forms a delicate pomp, by which the watery particles ran with the rapidity of a swift stream.By the action of the sep various properties may be communicated to the growing plant.Timber In France Is, for instance, dyed by varions
