German fort on the Rhine, and now a German spy is arrested for sketching a French fort at Nice.This is the Franco-German alliance.Enormously Long Excursion Trains on both railways are pouring the people of Ontario into Montreal in great numbers.For this we have to thank the competition established between here and Toronto by the Canadian Pacific Railway.Few things coold do more good.The people of Ontario will by such processes be made into Canadians instead of mere \" Oatarioans.\" It Seems the settlers in the Cameroons Country, who are of course British subjects, are decidedly opposed to the anuexatioa of that country by Germany.No doubt Prince Bismarck is only paving a way to annex the Dutch regions of South Africa, when he is annexing Holland.It remains to be seen whether the Dutch will want him to reign over »hem any more than they like the English.lie is to them less of kin and less of kind than we are.Egyptian Experts say Canadians accustomed to a meat diet and a cool climate will die like flies in the hot climate and on the light diet of Egypt, and one of these is coming out to urge the Canadians not to go.Had he got here ten days ago he would have found ont whether this is a cool climate or not.If it is hotter in Egypt it mast be pretty hot there.As for diet oar boatmen will want pork and beans, and had better get them.It is as easily carried aa rice.All our lumbermen are in the habit of having their liquor cut off from the day they enter on their work, and if sober men are chosen and this regimen followed we have little fear for our voyageurs.THE EXHIBITION.Now that the British Association meeting is at an end, the attention of the pnblio naturally turns toward the next attraction.This ia the Exhibition in Montreal.The committee has all along been working paL.atly and with much perseverance to make the exhibition a success.They have made one or two errors of judgment.Few such bodies ever avoid them.They have been actuated by the best of motives, however\u2014a desire to do their duty to Montreal and the ceuntry faithfully.As will be learned from our report in another column, the grounds are in much better condition than they bava been in any previous year.The Committee\u2019s secretary, Mr.S.C-Stevenson, says that the entries thus far are larger and the prospects for the exhibition much better than they have ever been on any previous year.Coming, as it does, from a gentleman who has bad ao much to do with exhibition work, the statement carries conviction, and will be heartily welcomed.The Sports Committee will furnish such a treat to all in Montreal during the Exhibition week as there has not been previously.This will be a display of fireworks from tho face of the mountain.One thousand dollars\u2019 worth of fireworks will be displayed within a half an hour.Every man, woman and child in the city can enjoy these.The Sports Ccmmittee promise other attractions.These, however, will be within the grounds, and will not, therefore, be a free exhibition.The interesting and instructive portion of the exhibition will be the produce of farm and dairy, the contents of machinery hall, the handiwork of ladies, aud the exhibit of all sorts of household goods, useful and ornamental.Tke exhibition will open on Friday; bat.properly speaking, Monday is the day from which most may be expected.The week will increase in interest with each day.Arrangements have been made to unite the Uraud Trunk and Canadian Pacific tracks on the whurf for the benefit of exhibitors sending their goods, and nothing now remains except to get the goods into position in the bnildings and grounda.We cordially recommend our fellow-citizens of city aud country to visit and inspect the exhibition of 1881 in Montreal.The Horticultural Society's annual show of fruits and flowers irill occupy three days, commencing on the ninth ; the bench dog show, too, will present special attractions, and there is also tho Art Gallery which always is a welcome sight to lovers of fine arts.A new feature in exhibitions is the Caughnawaga Indian show, which was bo successful last year.It opens on the eleventh, and will continue for two days.It is worthy the special clause given here, aud further reference to it is more extended elsewhere in our columns.LIQUOR AT FAIRS.Ontario is & long way in advance of the Province of Quebec in the management of her fairs.She has passed a law forbidding the granting of licences to sell diink on Exhibition grounds.The late Government of this province was petitioned by the clergy and by others to pass snch a law( but that Government, being under the impression that the license business was in the hands of the Dominion, as claimed by Sir John Macdonald, declined to take ac.tion.As there is no further room for doubt as to jurisdiction we trust that the present Government will, when appealed to again, wipe out the stigma of making the exhibitions of those products, whioh wo are proud to set before tho world, exhibitions also of drunkenness and gambling.If liquor selling is permitted at all, it is sure to become so univeraal as to exclude all suitable refreshment.In our past Exhibitions in Montreal lefrethment could not be sought except at disgusting bars which no decent person would enter, and was not to be seen there.Drink-sellers can outbid the dealers in milk and rolls and coffee, and the Exhibition Committee has yet to be found thet will make any considerable financial sacrifice for the good of tho cemmunity or evea for respectability's sake.The managers of the coming Exhibition have, we are assured, shown the utmost solicitude to meet tho views of temperance people who wished to have at least one coffee room amongst the numerous drinking booths, bat their solicitude did not go so far as to lead them to offer a stand for the purpose at a price that would admit of the sale of temperance refreshments on business principles.At Toronto the managers of ** Canada's Great Fair\" have been making the greatest efforts to get a town license transferred to their grounds, in spite of the Ontario law, by appealing to the Dominion License Commissioners, with a requisition duly signed, declaring Mr.Hill, their official manager, \u201ca fit and proper person to keep a hotel \" Even Mr.Withrow, the President of the Industrial Exhibition Association, and a temper* perance man, is reported to have said tha*.if a majority of the board desired a license for wine and beer, he coold not stand out against them.It is evident that professional rnmsellers are not the only persons who cannot resist the temptation of a few dollars when the convenience of the respectable public, the morality of the community and the safety of onr youth are the only things at stake.Bat whatever may be the ideas of men acting in corporate capacity and biased by financial advantage, wo are convinced that here, as in Ontario, the great majority of the people would vote for the exclusion of liquor from fairs.If we jndge them wrongly there is the more cause for regret,for there is no doubt that the most moral and temperate community has the best chances of progress.A GREAT WORK.An unusually large attendance at the Economic Section of the British Association, when the subject of tho emigration of women and children was to be discussed, evidenced the wide and deep interest which is taken in the work of the noble women who have devoted their lives to it.It was, as the President of the Section remarked, a great treat to have papers from fonr of the most prominent workers : Miss Rye, whose name has become a household word among English people on both eibe best The Canadian Pacific Railway was opening up new districts, such as those in the diocese if Algoma, and the Church should keep pace with the tide of emigration.These new districts occupied the same position to the older provinces as those provinces formerly did to ths Mother Country.The Rev.Archdeacon Plnkham then addressed the meeting on the work In the Diocese of Rupert's Land, in 18G8, wnen the speaker first went to that part of the country, there was only one dlocere and 22 or 23 clergymen: now there are alx dlcceses and abont 100 clergymen.The clergy wets supported partly by grants from the older provinces and the old country, and i«rtly by tne contributions of tho people themselves.Their charges at e very large, one of them having charge of 30 townships of 30 square miles each.Tbedloceseembraceaanareaof abou: 110,000 square miles.Of tbo 23 clergymon under ths mission board, only 11 have parsooagee, and It la very difficult to get suitable accommodation for even bachelor clergymen.Another difficulty la In getting soluble clergymen, and they consider It necessary to train ihetr own clergymen.The Rev.Dr.McRae, the Bishop of Rupert's Land, bad seen this, and accordingly bad built up SL John\u2019s College, which he has made a very strong educational centra He could not say too much of the Bishop of Rupert\u2019s Land for hla self denying aud far seeing efforu In the Interests of the church In that dts t rlct ( applause).Thecollege had several endowed professorships and is affiliated with the University of Manitoba.Hla Lordship ths Bishop of Algoma waa naxt called npon- He said that God had entrusted to the Church of England the solemn dutvof regenerating humanity.He regarded the formation of this board of missions as one of the moat important steps ever taken by the Church of England In Canada.While In

upon this KInt we hop* to obtain much Information.>re often, unwever, the removal Is directly doe to aillficlel ciutee.Sometimes the decree»* of thlugle (s due to a quantity being taken away from the beach for ballnr, bonding.rosd making, or other purposes Solid rocks, or numerous Urge boulders, occurring between tide marks, are also important pre-tcetorn of ths coast line.In some cams thess have been removed, and the waves have thus obtained a greater pswtr over the land.SBCTION H.\u2014ANTHROPOLOOV.MQVN\u2019DS IN BRITTANY, Yesterday morning Section H.hating adrer' tlsed to meet at ten, was called to order by Dr.Wllionat half past ten.The first paper was rend by the Stcretary la the absence of Ad mirai F.S.Tremleu, the author.Tne subject was \u201c Lapidary iculptores of thedolmeni of tbe Morbihan.\u201d Tbe** tumuli are generally found on tbe seashore.The p*]>er was Uluv traced by sketches.Human bones have been found in the graves, and the entrance is generally from the soutn-east side.One of these cairns was opened In 1HÜ5.and pert of tbe human tram* was found sculptured, among msov others.Tne Instruments found are generally neolithic.No trecee of metal have bran found, bnt there Is much asolst In the neUh borhood, which may btve been oaed to cat tbs granite.Tbe writer avoided omlsf to any definite eosclntfone in regard to the dolmans Ths Rev.H.H Wlnwo > 1 did not believe the specimen said to schist be was so, bnt fine quartzite, FLINT IMPLEMENTS.Mr.R.W.Lew was then called upon to read a paper giving in \" Account of small Flint Implements found bsnestb post on ths Pennine Chain.\u201d The paper, which was the retail of tb* joint fffortsef the reader and Mr.James Horsfall, eonstsudof an elaborate description of some small filet Instruments exhibited by the reader and found on March Hill.These were always found In a layer of gray sand, underlying a laver of day and another of poet, and In eumhent Itself upon bands of red land and abate Dr.J.Evan# thinks thee# MaiU»m-the Implements, and expressed his respect tor 1Dr.VDn,'w|,te)nU bell#ved th*i *ome similar Implements had been found on the American C
