    3. The terminus of the branch line to
    some point on Georgian Bay is to be deter-
    mined by the Governor in Council.

    4. The mode of working of the sections
    constructed, the kind of engines, locomo.
    tives, and gear, are to be under the direc
    tion of the Governor in Council.

    5. The sections may be divided, and
    subdivided, and contracts given out by the
    | Governor in Council.

    6. The price of the land on the line is to
    be fixed by the Governor in Council.

    7. The Companies building the section |
    may be granted further lands and rights
    of way by the Governor in Council.

    8. The working of completed sections of
    the line is to be earried on under the dis |
    rection of the Governor in Council.

    9. Any portion of the railway may be
    constructed asa Government work by order
    of the Governor in Council.

    Just as the champagne cork popped and
    flew to the ceiling, the young man entered,
    approached the groom, and without an
    angry or a warning word, felled him to the
    floor. The friends interfered and prevent
    ed an immediate encounter. The groom,
    much excited, insisted upon a prompt set-
    tlement. The house was searched high
    and low for weapons, but nothing but an
    old pair of rusty foils found. The buttons
    were broken from these, the men placed
    in position, and in a moment more were
    engaged in mortal combat. The young |
    man was the better swordsman, and by a
    quick, sudden pass, disarmed ‘is oppon-
    ent threw him on his back, and was in the
    act of thrusting his foil through the strug-
    cling man’s throat, when the door flew open

    with an oath, threw his foil upon the floor
    and rushed from the house. [he next

    bullet through his brain. The facts, through
    the influence of the parties engaged, were

    they have been transformed into merchants
    and money-lenders. They seem to have
    wholl lost that love for na and that
    igricultural skill that made Palestine a land
    of plenty. In Babylonia and Persia, under
    a comparatively gentle rule they were
    rather farmers than traders. Even late in
    the Roman period, and probably until near
    the sixth century, they were chiefly an agri=
    cultural people,

    The Talmud abounds in
    allusions to the cultivation of fields and
    gerdens, of oil, wine, and wheat, fruit and
    flowers. Its nice and varied rules of cons
    duct relates chiefly to the people of rural
    districts rather than of the cities. When
    the great schools of Babylon and Pumbedis
    tha were flourishing, and the vivid intellect
    of the Israelites was expanding into a liter-
    ature of commentators and professors, the
    race was marked by an intense love for the
    Oriental lands they cultivated jut when
    the universal prosecution fell upon them,
    when they were hunted from Babylonia and
    Persia, and began that remarkable series of
    wanderings from city to city, and from realm
    to realm, that has lasted for more thana
    thousand years, the manners of the race
    changed. They became a nation of traders,
    Industry, thrift, learningnd rare acutness
    they never lost, but they were never again
    to become peaceful tillers of the soil. They
    were forced to snatch opportunities of gain
    from the midst of the wanderings. They
    became the most acute and untiring of
    traders. There wares and their profits were
    such as could be most easily handled and
    secured, They supplied the barbarous
    princes of Germany with the most costly
    drugs and spices of the East. Theydealt in
    jewels that they could easily conceal or
    swallow, and in Oriental cloths that were of
    priceless value. They were the most active
    slave-traders of the Middle Ages, and the
    Church vainly heaped its maledictions ou
    the Jew who should dare to purchase Chris-
    tian slaves. Their capital im money pro-
    bably grew from age to age. They were
    the common money-lenders of the early
    period. The Jews seemed to have concen
    trated the wealth of the Middle Ages among
    t'emselves; they lent t ew money at an
    enormous interest and upon ample security ;
    they accumulated immense fortunes, which
    they were obliged to hide from their perse»
    cutors in an aspect of extreme poverty. Sut
    their home was never again te be amidst the
    soft landscapes of Babylonia and Persia ;
    and erowded together in a mise: ible Ghetto,
    lived apart accursed and forssken in the
    walled, fortified, and secure cities of * est-
    ern Europe, they counted th irsecret gains
    and sometimes displayed im ts a obsevre
    dwellings a suspicious and ©: jental splendor,
    Their daughters were Âą id in the rich silks
    of Persia, und shone with the gold and gems
    of the East. —Eveent J.awience,in Harper’ s
