[" A » eision, there was not a DAILY EVENING M 80TH YEAR.\u2014NO.301, Spe SERVANT GIRLS.Groat Scarcity of Female Labor in this Country.\u2019 (Guelph Herald.) There is still à remarkable scarcity of supply on the female labor market in this country, Whatever may be said in opposition to assisted emigration, one thing is certain, that a desirable end would be accomplished were efforts put forth to induce morally pure and physically healthy young women to come \u2018to Canuda and take employment as domustics, They could earn good wages and gain a comfortable and respectable livelihood.Many a lady is toduy performing the multifarious duties of the household WITHOUT ANY ASSISTANCE, who would gladly give employment to à good girl were such ersily procured.Kapecially is this the ouse among the farmers.According to the latest returns of the Ontario Bureau of Industries, the agricultural classes tind it impossible to hire girls for \u201clove or inoney,\u201d us the saying goes.Loyd Jones, of Burford, writes : *o- mestic dorvauts are very scares, which ie a great drawback to our wives, who are nothing better than white slaves.What with k KAIBING A FAMILY and doing the drudgery of n farm-house this state of things will have a most damaging effect on the rising genera tion.\u201d This view is substantially endur- sed by other leading agriculturists throughout the province.In the cities the same difficulty in + curing female help is experienced.Every paper one picks up contains several advertisements : \u201cServant girls wanted,\u201d but itis a rare thing to read or hear about an applicant for such a situation.The chief difficulty towards supplying to a great exten the at present.LARGE DEMAND FUR FEMALE LABOR, by emigrauts from the Old Country, is the fear entertained by many that un undesirable class would coma over, Of course, we don\u2019t want the pour houses snd other public institutions of England tarned loose in this country.What we do want are virtuous ond industrious young women, and as there are many of them living on a mere pittance in the mother land, their coming to Canada would be beneficial to themselves and likewise beneficial to the people with whom their lot would be caster -\u2014 The Late Duke of Abercorn.London Truth says ;\u2014The Duke of Abercorn was a Peer and a great landowner of the best type.He had been a prominent figure in socioty for more than fifty years, and he was certainly one of the most popular men of his time.There never lived a more genial and kindly man ;

the head of the State.0 IT 38 8A1D that ex-Speaker Anglin will be the Liberal candidate in North Renfrew for the Commons, and Mr.Thomas Murray, M.P.P.for North Renfrew, will be the Liberal candidate

heavier than the original work, says the Globe.818 Henry Alfred Doughty Tichborne will come of age and enter into possession of his estates next May, and, in spite of the $600,000 spent in opposing the \u201cClaimant,\u201d be will be a rich man, his rent roll amounting to over $140,000 a year.A CORERSRONDENT of La Minerve wants to know why L'Etandard, the ultramon- tane organ, did not publish the letters of the missionaries of the Northwest as the Minerve did, and thereby enable the French-Canadians to understand the true character of Riel.0 Tus two sons of the Prince of Wales, Prince Albert Victor and Prince Georgehave just been elected honorary members ofthe Army and Navy Club, London.Both, it will be remembered, now bear Her Majesty's commission, and have full qualifications for membership in a service club.pe Louis, King of Portugal, although 3 professed and prominent patron of literature, is very much devoted to making money on his own account, as his royal revenue is only $400,000, while his wife wets in addition but the beggarly pittance of $80,000, so that the poor family is somewhat pinched for spending money.ee Unpæn the Mackenzie Government the annual expenditure was increased by $200,000, or at the rate of about 850,000 a year.The present Government have increased the expenditure frown $24,445, 000 in 1878-79, to $25,327,000 in 1884- M5, or at the rate of $1,700,000 per annum, The rate of increase has there fore been about twenty-four times greater under Sir John Macdonald than under Mr.Mackenzie.2 Apan Bapzay, in his sketches of aristocracy in England, says :\u2014The people like such stories about the Queen as this.Once upon a time thers was a domestic quarrel between the roysl pair, and the Prince Consort locked himself in bis Ledchamber.But soon Her Majesty repented and knocked at the Prince's door.\u201cWho is there 7\u201d he asked.\"The Queen,\u201d was the reply, and no answer came.After awhile there was another knock, and again the Prince Consort asked, \u201cWho is there?\u2019 \u201cVictoria, Albert,\u201d and the door was opened and the quarrel past.King Milan of Servis, so say the gossips of his court, has

patriots as well as in our day, the renegades were ambiticus and eelfish men, who traded in honors like the present French Ministers who betrayed their nationality for pelf and place.Lord Durham, in 1839, said of these people that they were of no use, as they exercised no influence over their compatriots, by who they were regarded with unconquerable hate as renegades.- ce Sudden Death.The sudden

And the law may prescribe that the trees planted shall be of useful varities, adaptdd to the sii and slimate which the road traverses.And is it not fair that thew great consumers should be made als restorers of forests!

The 40th Regiment has been ordered to Halifax.The arrival of a British regiment to take the place of another regiment sent home for repairs is not usually a very important event, but in this case a good deal of historical interest attaches to the change.The old 49th fought in Canada in 1812.It was at Queenston Heights, with about 200 of the York militia, and resisted the attack of the American Col, Van Renselaer and his thirteen hundred men, It witnessed the death of General Brock.It aided in the capture of the American fort at Salmon river.Subsequently it occupied Fort George, and afterwards a detachment of thirty-six men from the 49th held Beaver Dam against the Americans thus saving Burlington Heights and Canada.The 49th is an old friend.Though of course its persouncl has changed, the honors belonging to the regiment -e retained.\u2014 ce Political News.It is said that Mr.Thompson, the new Minister of Justice, has suspended arrangements for taking a residence in Ottawa until the result of the ministerial crisis is known, and has obtained leave of absence from Ottawa for several weeks.It is learned, from those interested in the rebellion losses claims before the Department of the Interior, that it is impossible to get these claims liquidated.Mr.White, Minister of the Interior, has no funds, and refuses to ask a Governor- General's warrant until the present difficulties are settled.\u2014 Army Signals.] Ordinary army signalling, by waving flags or torches, can transmit only ten words or so a minute, spelled out by letters ; hut an adaptation of the Morse telegraph alphabet, now generally employed.has more than doubled this rate of speed.\u2014\u2014\u2014 The Temperature.The following is the Temperature Record for every 24 hours'in the shade at The Msncour office, 130 feet above sprin, le, na vogietured by the in thermometer of Negro?+ Zimbra, Holburn Viaduct, London, (Philosopn._} Init ument Makers to Her Majesty and the Admiralty), made especially for our Use :\u2014 1885 inde 8 am.3 pn.94\" mind.aspeot ; mum.Decl.24 30 2 31 e cloudy \u201c2 17 2 23 28 \u2014 clear \u201c3 0B 28 33 38 \u2014anow din \u201c 4 15 16 20 .30 w clear \u201c5 18 23 2 2 s mowéin \u201c 8 7 8 10 18 n clear «7 128 % 21 24 w cloud \u201c8 8 18 90 2] eo variable \u201c9 18 2 25 26 + alect 10.2 32 35 39 w clear un \u201cn 2 26 21 32 e cloudy \u201c 12.i314 17 2% w clear \u201c13 15 3 25 27 wamewGin \u201cla 25 28 34 35 wanow Gin 18 15 17 12 33 w = clear \u201c18 8° 4 10 lé n clear \u201c17.3° 2 .7.10 w clear \u201c18 4 8 14 \"16 3 cloudy \u201c10 17 Zé di 30 e snow Jin \u201c2, 22 2% UH 3 6 cloudy \u201c21, 4° 2 10 14 \u2014 cloudy \u201c2 4° 5 1 13 w dear \u201c23 12 2 » \u201csw rain \u201c9, 30 3 2 35 a clear \u201c 2 5 10 15 18 sw clear \u201c 26.2 8 19 18 6 cloudy Puny, sickly, fretful children are very trying to the patience of all who have the care of them, and in the majority of cases tuo fretfulness arises from 8 weak and omacinted condition of the body, caused by the drain un the constitution during the pest of teetliing, or the ho growth of child) , in such cases give Robinson's Phosphorised Emuision uccotting to directions, or the advice of your Physician, \u2014 et MARRIED.Dnvmmoxn-BicxLæy\u2014In St.George's Church, December 28rd, by the Very Rov.the Dean of Montreal, Arthur Percy Drummond, son of the late Andrew Drummond, Eag., of Toronto, to Clara Lina, thipd daughter of P.P.Bi.eo, , l.ay., of that city.| sold at the Church door of the Parish of St, Carpets | Curtains I FURNISIIING GOODS NEWEST DESIGNS, all at pri iver- sully admlited to bo the best value and Cheapoat In the City.Brussels Carpots aud Horders to matoh.Tapest Carpets and Borders to match.White Lave Curtains from 61,15 or 81.09 set Cream Lace Curtains from $5.00 or $n net.Baye Lace Curtains from 84.26, Cream & Gold Guipure Gurtains from 83:00.Crimson & Koru Canvas Curtains from ES 5é.inch White Curtain Net from 340.Guipure Lace and Velvet Antimbonssars, Jute and Tapestry Curtain Materia) (some very cheapand sffactive novelties ust received, ) urtain Poles, Rings, Chains, Stair Rods, be Mata, Mattings, Rugs, etc, 5 Per Cent.Discount for Cash.GLOVER,FRY &GO CHRISTMAS | English friuta, from Bo.per yard.rinta\u2014apeoial 1o§ bought ex prea!
