would never admit.I wanted to make myselt look as sedate and elderly as possible for the visit, but the beat of the day made my choice in my limited wardrobe very small.The only thing at all available was a somewhat youthful pink gown, which 1 had foolishly posscssed myself of before 1 ever dreamed I should be a minister's wife.If I was obliged to wear anything so appropriately gay, I trusted overything to an elderly black bonnet and u sober shawl my mother-in-law bad recently sent me.My appearanco was far more satisfactory as regarded dignity and sedateness, but the vehicle which Charles at that moment drove up to our door was atrocious.He must buve neglect- od to state the nature of our errand to the stable-keeper, for such a horse and such a vulgarly-painted buggy would have been seomly only ona racecourse, or to peddle patent soaps.But to poy a ministerial call on u perfect stranger! Charles had told me repeatedly that all the stable horses were perfect cows as regarded docility and spoed.So I did not venture making myself laughed ut by suggesting that there wus an oxprossion in the horse's faco that did not inspire my entire confidence, and a rostiveness in the Lind feet that did not suggest the gentle cow.Butl mounted into tho high box-like struc: ture.Had { dreamed what effect tho height, unmitguted by any kind of cover, and the hugo red wheels, would have bad on me, I never would have sel foot in tho thing.I felt thut Hay- town, seeing Rev.Charles Mason and his wife seated in such a vulgar, un- dignitied vehicle, would bo justified in making almost any romarks about worldlinoss.No; better that we orred aday longor in not calling on the now minister than that we appear bo- fore his und our own parishioners in such à guise.My husband had just confided to me his intention af loaking at the thor.mometer, and glanving again at the county map to bosure of tbe Hay- town voud.\u2018And changing that velveteen jacket,\u2019 I addeded, seeing tho undignified garb he had forgotton to put off bofore going to the stable, But the horse or cow, as might be, objected to stunding longer looking ut the unintesting facude our house pre- sonted, and forgetting (hat the driver was 2 necessary adjunct, sturted at a rapid puco down tho s{reet.\u2018Oh, vou forgat my shawion (ho slpps thore;\u2019 I said, porhape a little un- foolingly, to my busband, who had just succeeded in climbing into the carringe by a difficult way over the back, \u2018and thut coat is too dreadfall\u2019 I regrotted the day I mado it., * \u2018It's not quite the thing, but we can't go back, You won't need n shuwl to-day, and, with due respect to my mother, it is not beautiful, and can be forgiyon sololy on account of ite warmth.\u2019 Little Jbarlps knew how | had counted on the ugliness of that shawl, and how glad I bad folt that I owned a sv- bor article! I tried to be resigned.Soon that disappointment was lost sight of, for the hore was shuwiug unmistakable nigns of running away.\u2018Is this tho lorse jou geuerally drivo ?'\u2014[ mount to bo culm, though eo were \u2018foquing down the strapt al brpak-neck apped, burcly ergaping à perambnlatar in which ropoeed the oely fan wed bir ROCK ISLAND.(ST of tho Mothodist minister, und gruzing the carvy-ull driven by our Sunday- school superintendent, * No, nev\u2014er, The oth\u2014ers\u2014 wero \u2014whou | \u2014were-\u2014-much slow\u2014-er.Whoa! By u series of jerks Charles was trying to stop the horse, Lo apolo gize to Mius Simpson, #ho had beck- oncd to us to stop.Voice and strongth were of no avail, und on we dushed passing carriages tilled with our parishiovers, who saw astonished, the reckless speed of their minister, and the clouds of dust he lett behind, I feit that I must ask to get out, for I hud consented to (he drive believing that the horse would prove ue quiet us Charles had found all of those in Mr.Johnson's stable.As [saw the rapidity of our flight by the frequoncy of the fence posts, [ shat my eyes, but openod them quickly when the borso began a tattoo with bis hoels on the dasher.After that was demolished Charles's knees would suf: ter, and bud an opportunity been given me then to got out I could not have gone.Evorything my eyes rested on but increased my horror.Charles looked nearly exhausted.The horse scemod to huve dismissed all compassion, and to huve dolormined to destroy us st his earliest convenionce, The fast-turning red wheels looked like coils of flame, and the stifling dust mado breathing diffleult.Just then we went over a rough bridge, aud the violence of our motion loosened my bonnet, which the breeze flow far behind us.A shower of hairpins fell into my lup, followed by abundunt hair.I wound it closely about me, fearing it might annoy Charles or be caught in the whizzing wheels, it was so long.Faster and faster we went, bat for- tanatoly there was a clear road before ua.I almost went over the dash- er\u2014Chbarles had to brace bimself with all his might\u2014when the horse aban\u201d doned his wild rap and walked deliberately into a pool of water al the road-side, where horses were in tho bubit of drinking.Anything more delicious than that stop! The horse drank long, and seemed to enjoy the draught, but his pleasure was as nothing when compared to the happiness of the two breathless people who had been driving behind him.Wo told each other our thoughts and emotions, and were properly serious and grateful for our preservation.\u2018Lovity seems out of placo after such peril, but truly, dear, you do present rather a funny appearance.\u2019 My busband looked more cheerful than at any timo during the drive.\u2018Anything wrong excepting my bair 7\u2019 I usked, sadly.\u2018Rather; your bonnet is miseing ; your gay gown is very dusty, and\u2014 Pardon me, but really you do not look like my iden of a minister's wife.But, perhaps, wben yoy\u2014\u2019 Ob, Charles! | am so sorry, tor] wanted to look very old und vory serious.I had à particular reason.\u2019 I looked in the pool in which the car- risgge was stanling, and saw just what failure I had made, for plainly, as in a mirror, I saw myself, and fantastic enough I looked in my pink gown and disordered yollow bair.\u2018Oh dear, I'm sorry we ever started !' * But yoa must bo glad of ono thing \u2014that the horse feit thirsty and stopped.\u2019 Charles took advantage of the rest to dust himself, put on his gloves, und muko his companion look as re- spectuble us he could, with & bandker- chiof for her only bonnet, \u2018What de you suy, now, going on and stopping just before we reach the parsonago to arrange your hair ¢' \u2018 Perhups, if wo can go more slowly dear.\u2019 * I shall be satisfied with a lees rapid pace.Now, Deacon\u2014for so I believe you ave inappropriately called\u2014slow- 1y is the word\u201d Charles pickod up the reins gingorly.The horse turned and looked full in our faces, as much as to say: Is it possible you two are not satisBed yot ?I felt that it was tempting fate to ask him to move until he made tbe suggestion.The only drawback to the enjoyment of the next two hours! drive through the pive woods, With the waning forms and bright ludy-slippors, und tho odor of tbe lin.nea, wus that the horse seemod ex- bauelud.I nover exclaimed at the stillncss und beuuty of our surroundings thut be did not breathe heavily, as though to chide me for my forgot- fulness of his weariness.I hesitated to spenk, so well he scomed to undor- 8laïd my spoeub, and by bis behavior to show his comprebonsion.When We Foaghod the sigh-board: Qne mile to Haytown, § pointed it out to Obarlos joyTally.Iu spite of my determina tio, though, (he horso saw it.He walkod in bis mosl sedato mannor just oRs inile, and when we wero in Hey- town and obuorvod by all Mr.Muy'ber- ty's congregalion, bo resumed bis orig- inul ruto of speed.Again roturned our anvasineus and mortification.My sic agajn blow yireaming bohind me, \u2018go boy of qur fying Lroyght avery ong tg the windgwe, and peapig iv the reels looked visant ° - yg aweuvingly alter us, | though we had adopted such speed &» from choice und not from nocessity.* liow shall we know the house?\u2019 [ asked, after we hud dashed through a series of well-settled stroets.\u2018Look out for my hat l' my busband answered, irrelevantly, und J caught it just before it fell under the wheel.A larger group of people than any we had seen was standing before whut looked like u botel.All eyes were turned in our direction us we emerged from tho cloud of dust far down the roud.The horso wus going faster than his fastest up to that time, and we seorngd in a fuir way 10 bo out of the sound of the merriment our up- pearance caused, when again tho horse astonished us by turning into the hotel yard, and stopping stock-stili, his nose sunk in the stone watering-trough, Evidently that horse had made ita rule of his life never to pass by a chance to get a drink.His eyes were keoner thun ours, and both our breathing spaces would have beon lost had it depended on us to spy out the drinking fountains.It was wonderful, too, what power waler-drinking gave that beast ! The second slop wus not so delicious us the stop whero the alder-busbes were our only observers.To make one's toilette und dust one's busband's tace and clothes within the sight of a dozen loungers was not pleasant.Had they been content to watch us silently it would havo been bad enough, but they evidently were much amused by our suddea appourance, and made audible jokes at our expense.Ono old mun looked up from hie whittling to remark that we had been in considerable of a hurry, and to ask if we bad not all the time there wus going.* Ain't | seen that hass on the track somewheres ?* a borso jockey asked, eyeing our steaming beast approving: ly.\u2018I am happy to say I do not own this animal.JT am driving him for the first tine,\u201d my husbaod answered, with a show of dignity, Then arose in the crowd a lively discussion ns to whether some pecan liarity in the horse was or was not a quarter crack, and my husband was appealed to by one side and the other.He had never owned a cent in any horse, aud knew absolutely nothing of borse lore.He told them this, and then, with much dignity, inquired the shortest way to the parsonage.\u2018Ha! 1 thought as much.Thore, can't I tell 'em fur as I can see?The speaker looked very knowing, and a goneral titter followed bis remark.¢ OF course every one could tell with half an eyo he wanted the parson, especially as he's just owned up so honest like.Come, some one, for morcy\u2019s sake, toll the young feller how he can git there! The whittling old man tried to quiet the loud hilarity.\u2018 Young feller, indeed ! That was ou account of the vulgur-lookicg vehicle Mr.Johnson had let to his amiable minister.My husband bad to ask again, with greater dignity, the diree- tion of Mr.Mayberry's bouse before any one would answor, Our animal rosembled the so-called steam-horse in two ways\u2014he could not attain any rato of speed without watering up, und once his steam was up there was no stopping him, At least a clergyman could have us casily brought a locomotive to a standstill as the horse Deacon.As we whirled away from tho hotel siops every one shouted afler us, oxciling the horse to Yet greater spoed : \u201cCouple of runaways\u2019 \u2018No cake, no cards!\u2019 \u2018Going to got bitched by the parson I\u2019 \u2018We'll all come\u2014no coremany |\u201d A small bboy an a gate taok up the cries, and proclaimed us as the \u2018runaways trying to git married,\u2019 and as such we were observed a: we dashod through the elm-shaded street.I was indignant.\u2018Charles Mason, what à ridiculous situation! They think you ure running away with me.\u2019 \u201cShould think they might ses at a glance the horse is the guilty one,\u201d Charles found breath to angwer.\u2018That Mr, Johnson ought to be ashamed of himself, If ho only went to church you ought to preach to bim about thesin he has committed in sending such horse,\u2019 \u2018 They're a coming | Hi! there they go!\u2019 viied u smull boy, waving his hat from the roud-side, \u2018Charles, dear Charles, that's the house, where all those women are going in at the door, Stophere, oh, do stop, for my bair\u2014' I know be tried to comply with my entrealy, but the hurso saw no cooling apring in eight, and kept up his spsed raund a short corner, our carriage touphing bat two wheels, av à long, shady lune; and whon [ saw destruction ahead of us in the shape of à luvgo wtable wall, the horse came to a stop.Charles jumped out and scizod the animal's head.\u2018You run and seo it he's at home.\u2019 1 baud hoped for u fow minutes when I could coil up my hair and dust my.nolf Lafore meoting the clergy man, but just then the hoyso began kioking a gain und showing aign4 of wuok i= peiones, and dame = ane ac «wor help ns fast as « wuld 1 pulled the door bell, bat thon walked in without waiting.* In the minister nt home ?I gasp- ed, looking distractedly about the room filled with women for some one Lo send out to Charles.\u2018Can't some ono speak lo him?[ want him immediately \u2014immediately !' * Oh, bo knows you're coming, and ho's gone to get ready,\u2019 a woman answered, calmly, as if to quiet my impatience.¢ Oh, dear, dear, can't some one tell him wo ure here, and want bis belp at once?Won't you go and tell bim to come at once ?' I turned to the woman who had spoken betore.My voice wus tragic and my appeurance (hent- rical, but my anguish was genuine, \u2018I'd rather not.We are all strangers.We just come in a minute ago, bearing us how you were coming to\u2014 seo the minister.He's putting on his best clothes, I guees\u2019 The woman looked really sorry for me, and the tino of spectators opened their mouths wider as my distress increased.The dour opened sofily bebind me.[ thought no more of my peculiar garb or of Mr.Mayborry's impression ; I thought only of the kicking demon I had left Charles alone with.¢ Ob, pleuse\u2014please, Mr.Mayberry, I want your assistance ut once.I don't know that you are in the habit of doing anything of the kind, but\u2014\u2019 Just then T saw whom I was addressing, and the unusual dignity aod age of the new minister made mo stammer and hesitate, realising the awkward: ness of my situation, \u201c Yes, I understood you wanted my aid to-day.It's of course a very serious state you are thinking of entering, but we will talk a little.Sit down until your companion comes to join us.\u2019 Ho spoke kindly, and courteonsly placed a obair for me.The women one and all looked glud they bad come aod us though my bobavior was as en- tortaining as anything they had ever seen.\u201c Oh, no, no, I can\u2019t sit down till he comes in.Won't you please excuse me for asking, but can't you help him?I have left him all alone with a horse.\u2019 I beckoned from the window to Charles that some one was going to belp him, Mr.Mayberry rose deliberately.\u2018I really know nothing of horses myself, but I will sce what can be done.Is be\u2014is your companion not used to borses?'\" He was slowly putting on his bat, and 1 saw ho looked regretfully at his spotless black broadcloth, and that he would have preferred to koep fur away from tbo brute.\u2018 Used to horses \u2014Charles! Ob, no! be has always driven cows before.Ob, thank you, thank you for going ! Just as soon as Mr.Mayberry started I felt that ray responsibility was ended.I was just about to sit down in u vacant chair in a corner when one of the ladies came toward me.\u2018Ob, no ; that is not the place.They al- Ways stand in thut part of the room, just facing the looking-gluss' L wondered if the person were domented, but as I caught a look at mysels, concluded it would not be prudent for me in my predicament to question the sanity of any ono else.I wondered if Haytown people were in the habit of filling their minister's parlor whenever à visilor was expecied, and was glad such u custom did not prevail in Straw Contre.\u2018 Do you prefor the Episcopal service ?' a very meek-looking woman ask- od.[gave up trying to twist my hair into shape, 1 was so astonished at the question.It lvokod us though 1 was ta be subjected to a council and interrogated on my religious bolief.\u2018ldon\u2019t know.My husband knows my opinions, and I do not care to dis cass such things.\u2019 \u2018Your husband! You mean the gentleman you're riding with; my questioner suggosted.\u2018My husband, and also the geutle- man I have been driving witb,\u2019 | ssid, sternly.Such a look of astonishment 83 my romark caused.Many began whispering togother, and the question that some one asked uxplained the whole situation to me.* Why.we thought there was to be a wedding, and we camo to attond.We heard you was coming, and had a veil in your buggy to wear\u2019 I made no apology, sud viged no one to remain, when [ suw ono by one prepare to leave tbe house.At another lime [ might have folt inclined to laugh, but then the whole thing scomed a cruel combination of circamslances to make me appear ridiculons.I sat alone in the parsonage parlor for rome time, my saddest thought was the ome that would koep

NOVEMBER 6, 1884.[ was in the depth of gloom, A shadow passed tho window, and my bus- band came in, arm and arm with Mr.Mayberry, both looking friendly and cheerful.* Fanny, my dear, I want to introduce you (0 Mr.Mayberry, for notwithstanding the fact that we have made him get ready for a wedding when we had no need of such a sor- vice, as it wus well done a year ago, he now wants us to take an early tea and drive back in the evening.\u2019 \u201c Not with that horse ?I asked, a little uncivilly, taking no notice of our invitation or our host until that fear was vel ut eate.\u2018 No, indeed, Mra.Mason.Now I insist on your romaining aud drinking a cup of tes, and perhaps you would be glad to make a little preparation first,\u2019 How delicately Mr.Mayberry sug- gosled that I was far from being in the proper order to sit down at his table.\u2014 Rachel Danforth, in Harper's Bazar.Alcohol in Medicine and the Arts.If it can be conclusively shown that alcohol in no one of its forme is abeo- lately essential in the alleviation or removal of diseases, and that no use- fal industry is dependent upon it, that science and the arts would suffer no detriment in its absence, the most for miduble bar to its utter banishment would be at once removed.From the time when thinking, ab- serving men became alarmed at the dreadful work which aloobol was accomplishing in the warld, the cry bas been that it is an indispensable agent in its applications in medicine and the arts There was more truth in this assumption fifty or evon thirty years ago than at present, as science had not at thoso periods made sufficient advancement to supply substitutes for tho alcoholic liquids.Vast changes have occurred in medicine, pharmacy, chemistry, and in all art processes, since Lhe days of the early temperance reformers, and it is well to look about aud ascertain our true position as ro- gards the present necessity for the use of alcobol.} We buve in this journal repeatedly spoken of the true relatiuns of alcohol to medicine and the arte, and in every instance have doclared that the neod of it no longer existed ; that if the natural vinous fermentative process should cease, and the art of distillation be- como a \u201cLOST ART,\u201d not a life would be sacrificed in consequence, not a case of disease would be rotarded in the process of cure, not a pain would be aggravated, aud not oue of the art processes suffer detriment.Tho banishment of alcohol would not deprive us of a single.one of the indispensable agents which modern civilization demauds; neither would chemical science be retarded by its loss.It must be remembered that modern science has given us glycerine, naptha, bisulpbide of carbon, pyroligneous products, carbolio acid, and a hundred other agents which are capable of taking the place ofalcohol in a very large number of appliances and processes.The naturalist is no longer dependent upon alcohol for the preservation of his wonderful specimens ; and the artisan no longer needs alcohol to obtain convenient heat for bis tools, or to fa- cilitato his labor; cheaper and equally good substitutes have been provided.Petroleum in its refined ana perfected condition has taken tho place of mixtures of alcohol and turpentine for obtaining artificial illumination ; and al- cobol for purposes of secaring light and heat can never be again needed.It is only a quarter of a century since two million gallons of alcobol were consumed annually for illuminatiog purposes.The porfumer omploys al- oohol in many of his products; but tho question arises, \u201cHavo we need of tho perfumer ?\u201d The man who fabricates ono smell to cover up another may be u very usefai artisan; but certainly he is in no sense indispensable.Aside from his \u201ccologne\u201d and odorous exlracts, the perfumer can dispense with alcobol, and, if ite banishment should occur, our good ladies would not know of tho event from meeting with any unsupplied wants at the perfumer's, As regards the medicinal value of any of tho spirituous liquors which are knowa ia cammoie, yery much may be gaid.If all tho brandies, mh kopn, wines, and malt liquore which naw oXist were poddenly des troyed.823 there could be no further production, no class bat dipsomaniacs would suffer any jain or distress for a single hour.If these beverages are sometimes used as diffusible stimulants they are aflenor à bar to recapesation na matter what may be the mit à ça ent ina ©.sweats whero an al- .\u2014uvtio stimulant coms to be indicated, suience presents other stimulants, non-alcoholic, which may serve an equally weful purpose.The aloohol question as related Lo modicine may be summed ap ic a few words.In wme canon of extreme oxbaustion or debility, it may be regarded ss a ova.venient agent, if carefully employed ; but in no instances of disease of aoy form is il a medicine which might not be dispensed with, and other agents substituted.Rom or alcohol as an embrocation was formerly regarded as of the highest efficacy ; but it is now known that bot or cold water is a much better applieation to inflamed surfaces, The external use ot alcohol upon the human body under any conditions of disease is practically useless.It may serve lo cool inflamed parts by rapid ovaperation; but warm water meets the same end, and more effectively.Alcobol in the forms of gin, braudy, whiskey or wines, may be banished from families as domestic remedies, without risk to a single membor, of any ago, sex or condition.It is well to remember that favorite aromatics, like peppermint, ginger, elc., are now associated with sugar in elegant forms, and are easily acces sible to every one when needed.The facetioas Dr.Holmes has said, that if the contents of aur drug stores were taken oul upon the occan and thrown overboard, it would be better for the human raco, but worse for the fishos.This statement may be a little sweeping ; but it is true that quito all the showy battles in drug stores which contain alcoholio decoctions and tinctures might be submerged in the ocean aod invalids would suffer no detriment.Since the activo alkaloidal and vesinoidal principles of roots, barks, and goms have been isolated, and put in better and more convenient forms, there is no longer need of alcoholic tinctures and elixirs.Laudanam, which is a tincture of opium, might be banished from the shelves of every apothecary, as it is not needed, It is now known that the valuable and nat- cotic and hypnotic priuciples of opium are coulsined in certain crystalline bodies, which can be isolated, and used in minute and convoniert forms, and that they ean be held in aqueous solutions.Alcohol is wo longer needed to hold the active principles of opium, Peravian bark, or other indispensable drugs.As regards the vegeiable tonics so-called, the best among (bem is tho columbo (radix columbo) and this readily yields its bitter principle to walter, as do quassia, gentian, senna, rbubarb, and most other valuable substances.A careful survey of the con.tonts of a well-appointed modern pharmacy leads to the conclusion that there is no one indispensable medicinal preparation which requires alcohol as a free constituent.Tho catalogue of modern remod ies is almoet endless, and many of thom hold alcohol in some form ; but every intelligent physician knows (hat ninety per cent.of these alleged remedies have little or no intrinsic value.\u2014\u2014 [James R.Nichols, M.D., in Popular Science News.The Porter's Memory.The Chicago Herald \u201cTrain Talker\" alleges to have heard

NUMBER 2025.The Battle of Bull Run.General Beauregard'a paper in the earrent number of the Century, on the battle of Bull Rou, will attract wide attention.It iv the auiboritative con- fodorate account of (he first great battle of the civil war.Writlen afler a lapee of twenty years, it is a calm, dispassionate report, clesr and dignified in style, a valuable piece of military history.The memory of Ball Run still rankles ia the northern breust, but it is possible at this distance of years to forget the bumiliation far enough to form an impartial judgment.Fort Sumter had been bombarded fifty days before; President Lincoln bad called for 75, 000 volunteers to serve three months ; tho raw recruits had mustered at Washington ; it was resolved lo strike at Richmond; the confederate army had concentrated at Manassus June- tion, a strong position which controlled the railroad routes to Richmond and the Shenaudoah valley; it must be dislodged ; and so, on July 16, 1861, McDowell's army of 30,000 was set in motion from the banks of tho Potomac, Battle was joined on July 21, and after bard fighiting with varying fortunes for five hours and whon the day seemed to belong to the Federal forces, their flank was turned, and then began a rout the like of which was not seen again during tbe war.McDowell ascribes the defeat primarily to logs of time in an important movement made carly in the morning, and secondarily to the arrival of strong confederate reinforcements just as the critical juncture.Beauregard scouts this explanation, and attributes tbe result chiefly to his opponent\u2019 faulty plan of battle which dislocated the turning column from the main body, and also to lack of dash in tho Federal attack.The plan in fact, Beauregard says, sided his own offensive operations, Avpd when, strengthened by reinforce ments he ordered a churge, bo turned tho Bunk of the Federal troops, swept them from their position and drove the panic-stricken mob from the tield.Furthermore he maintains that though his forces were numerically much the weaker they wero strong in the fact that they were defending their homes, while the opposing forces were invad- ors.Tho reeults is not greatly (to be wondered at.Here were two great bodies of raw, undisciplined recruits harled at each other.They were officered on both sides by trained and able goner.als, it is true, but generalship avails little without discipline.The southern commander indeed had the advantage of being on his own ground, bat fortuitious circumstances mainly decided the day.A slight chance might havo turned the tide the othor way and then what a different story woald have been written.Beaten in the first pitched battle, tho south munst havo lost heart.The road to the confeder ate capital would bavo boen open, and war would have been a matter of montbs instead of years, Tremendous results hung upon (bo issues at Manas- sas, After having routed the northern army so effectually, Beauregard might bave pusbod the pursuit avd taken Wausbiogton.He explains that he was prevented by the sntimely caution of Jefferson Davis.His plan was to disperse all tho Federal forces south of Baltimore and cast ot the Alleghanies, liberate Maryland aod capture Washington, thoroby gaining an early peace and establishing the right of secession.But Davis rejected the plan as imprae.tioable, and the north was allowed ta recover und lo organize (be army which at last wore out the confoderz- cy.The confederate president's timidity chafed his general, and Beauregard\u2019a removal from command ats later period thoroughly soured bis tomper.In bis contribution to the Century be lays the whole blame of failore upon Davis, and thinks that with a commander-ine chief of higher military and political ability the south might havo carriod its poiat, : .Steer The Railroad King, The story is told of a New York raesseger boy who broaght a dispatch into the private office of a certain great financier and railroad king, and who, while he waited for an answer, leaned on the great man's desk and whistled a lively tune, to which he kept time with his feet.The great man was shocked throughout his en~ tire system, and be bent upon the an- dacisus imp « gaze whose severity\u2019 would bave unnerved a police captain ;: bat its only offest upon the uniformed: urchin was to cause him to wink one: eye with much unconcern, while he: still continned his tane and his shuffie.Then the great man said sternly: \u201cBoy, this is not Harrigan & Hart's I To which the puhumbled young rascal replied: \u201cWell, you bet your life it ain't; I wouldn't pay no half dolisr to come in here.\u201d *, trespass Bartbquakes canes quite à mover mont ie real estate.© i oud LT a aim TI ines cara ile

yesterday that the queen and prioce of Wales hud 1cceived disputebes to that effect from the khedise.But Eul Granviile in the afternoon said in the House of Lords that the government had no reason to believe that the report of the full of Khartoum and the cap- turo of Gordon After his statement the marquis of Salisbury said that the instructions given to Gordon indicated that it was the in tention of the government to abandon all the Egyplinn garrison in the Sou- was truc.dun, Granville suid in reply that Khartoum was tot to be abundoned.but the government would not prolong the campaign in order to rescue the garrisons al Sennaar and other places.This is almost a reassertion of tho old plan of evacuation.There are many conflicting reports ubout the situation of Gordon, und one of them states the capture of El Obeid, where the Mahdi lately was, 230 miles from Khartoum, by tribes friendly to the Egyptian government, There is atso current a story of u fight between Gordon in command of a fleet of 12 vessals and a force of 25,000 rebels at Andetman, in which the English gen.orul wus victorious.But (hero is nothiug certain in ull this,

indicating un increase of strongth on the part of the opposition in this province, at which the rouges are engagod, is like druwing sunbeams from cucumbers.The county went opposition at the last slection by a majority of four bundred aud forty four; il remains opposition ut this election, but by the greatly decreased mujority of fiflcen.In view of tho vote of the county in Juno last, When Mr.Langelier was elected by n majority of forty-one, the result is by no moans à significant triumph, unless it muy be said to bo significant of a victory on the other side at the next election.Comparing the vote with that ut tho last election, there is in some of tho parishes an almost ex- uct similarity, Thus [nverness which guve Mr.Langelier 169 of a majority, give 171 to Mr.Whyte, and Lyser which guve a majority of 32 to Mr.Turgeon guve Dr.Hume u majority of 36.In the French parishes of Ste.Juliv und Sommerset Mr.Whyle did much better thun Mr, Langelicr, Mr.Turgeon having tuken a majority of 28 in the former, against 3 tuken by Di.Hume, and Mr, Whyte huving tukon u majority of 57 in the latter against 25 taken by Mr.Langelier.On the other hand, in the English township of Leeds, Mr.Hume did much better than My, Turgeon, Mr.Langelier's majority in thut parish wus 106, while Mr.Whyte's wus only 54.In Thetford, Dr.Hume did better than Mr.Turgeon, his majority being 81, against a conservative majority in June lust of 55; while in Halifax the con- servalive mujority of 99 in Jone was reduced to 62 on Wednesday lust.We bave not the full figures polled at this election, but there is litle doubt that, heavy us wus the vote in June lust, an even larger vote wus polled at this election.The result shows that Me.gutilic is u good fighing constituency, with the

matter for regret.It is bardly in ne- curd with sound commercial principles to block trade in the country by false bids.Anything lo muke the factory- men hold rather than that another shonki get the goods.Neithor is con- tracling conducive to à bigh standard of commercial morality, for this season fuctorymen were deliberately swindled in their contracts us fur us it could be done without 1t becoming too Hugrant, Wholesale repudiation would have been indulged in had the contrac tors not been possessed with a whole somo dread of the exposure, which would surely have followed, lt is lo be hoped that the heavy losses made Will turnish à salutary lesson.We learn that many fuctorymen are tak ing u business view of the matter, und oxpressing their determination to a void contracting.When our dealers become enlightened enough to abandon the immoral system of contracte and sufficiently broadminded to let their neighbors buy a few cheese at market prices, wo may look for u sat.istuctory
