The case of Lamirande, a cashier of the
Bank of France at Poitiers, who aleconded
With 700,000 france, and got away to Canada,

when the new Extradition Act was under dis-

illegnlity of his capture than Lamirande, In
Canada he felt himself safe. “Vrohably the
charge against him of robbery and forgery is
correct enough! butin the face of sueh an

with loud demonstrations of approval. No

doubt they wero, for they must strongly have

reminded Lord Harroby's audience of similar

sentiments whieh h otten fallen from the

lips of Birmingham's own member, John

Bright. Between the peer and the plebcian,

however, in a public sense, the difference is

very narked. “ When the great Quaker goes

to the erpital of the Midland Counties to make

a specch, he is accompanied by at least. hun-

dred stenographers from all parts of the king-

dom, a fourth part of them probably coming

from London,indin a few hours the sentiments

to which he gives expression are flashed to the

rémotest corners of the British Isles. When

the Earl of Iarrowby expresses these new

and equally culirged views, it is only the lo-

cal press of the town which pays the least at-

tention to him. But there is one passage of
Lord Tlorrowby’s address which deserves the
widest circulation and the greatest attention,
and it is another proof of his desire to redress
the errors of the past. It is so important,
coming from such a pain, trained in such wv
school, that it ought to interest Pnglishinen in
every part of the globe,—any part, in fact,
where the English language is spoken, There
is much good in general science andin the ac-
quisition of languages. but above all things let
me advise you not to neglect the cultivation
of your own language. There is no language
that contains so much noble thought, so much
beautiful sentiment, so mach knowledge; and
yet, to w great proportion of our educated
classes, the beauties of our English language
are almost totally unknown—I believe un-
known to an extent which exists in no other
country. I believe no Frenchman would be
considered fit to be allowed to pass out of
school without having read the firet French
classical authors, and there is no German or
Italian who does not stand ina similar position ;
yet how many pass out of our schools, high
and low, without having read a word of Shake-
speare or of Milton, or of any of our great
prose writers? Is it not a scandal that this
should be?” This is a practical view ofa high-
ly important question, and the tendency of
modern thought runs in the same direction,

debt are now hrranged, and if the treaty of

at the latest, on the Ist of October, Victor
Emmanuel will make his entrance into Venice

often meet, and the Italians and Austrians,
from being the bitterest foes, appear to be in
afair way of becoming fust friends. In a

An English writer says:—‘*A good editor,

general poct, born, not made, Exergise and
experience give facility, but the qualification
is inate, or it is never munifested. On the
London papers all the great historians, novel-
ists, poets, essayists, and the writers oftravels
have betn tried, aud nearly every one has
fuiled. ‘I can,’ said the late editor of the Lon-
don Zimes, ‘find any number of men of genius
to write for me, but very seldom any man of
conimon sense.’ Nearly all successful editors
are of this description, A good editor seldom
writes much tor his paper; he reads, judges,
selects, dictates, alters and combines, and to
do all this well he has but little time for com-
position. ‘To write for a paper is one, thing,
to edit a paper is another.

We have most vivid recollections of the
misery felt by ourselves in our younger
days when we were obliged to pick pota-
toes off the cold damp ground, a raw
wind blowing at the same time that chill-
ed one to the very bones, How we
shivered in the early mornings as we
scraped half aninch of hoar frost from
off our hoe handle, and how our ‘teeth
chattered as we with numbed fingers
painfully picked the spuds out of cakes of
half frozen mould. It was cold comfort
sure enough, yet food was sweeter, sleep
sounder, and life altogether more enjoy-
able in those days than in these.

Arrived in New London, we were at
home among old and tried friends. To
say that we were kindly and hospitably
treated, can conyey but a faint idea to the
reader's mind of our truly hearty High-
land welcome. ‘Fhose who once gain the
esteem and regard of the New London
people, will find that more loyal and con-
stant friends do not exist on the face of
the broad carth. Their open handed un-
ostentatious hospitality to utter strangers
is a matter of surprise and admiration to
many—but their kindness to those who
have once gained their confidence and
won their friendship, is literally unbound-
ed. We believe that we have a slight
claim on the good offices of some of the
New London people, and the hearty sin-
cere unaffected manner in which that claim
has been acknowledged, has been to usa
source of heartfelt gratification. Where
all were kind it would be invidious to
mention names. We will content our-
selyes with saying that every ome was
glad to see us—every one treated us with
the greatest possible kindness, and nearly
every one subscribed for the Jounnan.

and commodious outbuildings have been

we remember to have been covered with
unsightily stumps, are now as smooth as
a bowling green, and an extensive forest
in which we have more than once lost
ourselves, has dwindled down to a_nar-

ther extremity of the clearances. Every
where did we sce traces of increased com-
fort, and indications ofan improved sys-
tem of farming. We were truly glad to

proach to him. “But Clifton, though not
within many miles of anything which
can with the least propriety be called a
cliff, isa very pretty little place, ‘The
view from if is a more than ordinarily
fine one. The hamlet consists of two
really Nandgonre stores, a blacksmith’s
forge, & shoemaker's-and satller's shop, a
storehouse or two, and a farm house with
out-buildings. We happened in the days
lung ‘syne to be acquainted with Mr, D.
McKay and Measrs, Pidgeon & Stewart,
the merchants of the place, and can testify
to the fact of their being jolly good fel-
lows, every one. We were really sur-
prised to find two such fine establishments
at Graham's Cross—we beg its par-
don—at Clifton, The assortment of
goods in both, struck us as being very
large and.varied, The blacksmith, who
employs two hands, came as near as
possible up to our beau ideal of a working
man. He seemed to have been the very
man who sate for Longfellow’s life-like
picture of the Village Blacksmith, Here
it is;—
©The Smith, a mighty man was he,
With largé and sinewey hands, fo.

His hair is black and crisp and long,
His face is like the tan,
His brow is wet with honest sweat,
He earns whate’er he can,
And looks the whole world tn ‘the face,
For he owes not any man,” i
On leaving Clifton we had the pleasure
of shaking hands with Father Graham
himself. On meeting a long absent
friend, the old gentleman’s thoughts very
naturally reverted to the customs of his
younger ‘days. He almost regretfully
told us in his honest broad Scotch phrase,
that there was not so much as a glass of
whiskey to be got in the place. ‘* They

are all temperate folks here now,” he

parting remark. We were sincerely re-
joiced to heat this testimony to the bene-
fit of temper , from one whose pre-
judiees were “evidently in favor of the
drinking customs of the olden tiines. We
hope that the temperance cause will con-
tinue to flourish at Clifton, and in other
parts of the Island. We know of more
than one place where a change is greatly
needed,
