Manitoba and the Union.

In an article on -‘‘ Dominion Day,” the}

Winnipeg Times thus writes of the censti- tutional and other advantages enjoyed by the people of the prairie Province :—

‘* In no other part of the Dominion are there opportunities equal to those enjoyed in Manitoba and the Northwest for prac- tically carrying out the great principles upon which the Dominion of Canada is established. In no other Province is there so good a foundation for the harmonious co-operation of the several nationalities. In the University of Manitoba provision is made for allowing every section of the population to aim in its own way at the accomplishment of one grand national edu- cational scheme. ‘This is characteristic of our whole economy, which aims at unity of design through variety of method. In our system ef Government there is provision for the establishment of any number of Provincial Legislatures, each of whieh carries out in its own way, its own schemes, while the Dominion Government compre- hends and unifies the whole, carrying it forward to the accomplishment of its single destiny as a great nation.”

A New Cure for Drunkenness.

The Chicago correspendent of the Torento Globe writes : ‘‘ Drunkenness exists despite every eifort, moral and religious, and it was something of a sensation that was created a short time since when the Vice-President of the Illiois State Temperance League, Mr. Fred. B. Hargraves, declared that he had discovered the discoverer of a cure for drunkenness that beat moral suasion out of sight, and that, having ence made a man

sober, might be confidently relied upon to

keep him so, at all times and under all circumstances. The modern Columbus proved to be a Dr. L. E. Keely, whe for a long number of years has been a practic- ing physician of the old school, ata busy

inland town in this State, known as Dwight. A large number of railroad men live in tho town, and ODr.

company’s surgeon. He has had in consequence a fair opportunity to try his nestrum, and Mr. Hargreaves certifies it has always been attended with success. Keeley was an army surgeon during the war, and as cuch had many opportunities to experiment on the subject of cures fer drunkenness. He convinced himself that in a majority of eases excessive alcoholic desire was heredi- tary, and being so, it occurred te him that there was no reason why drunkenness, con- sidered as a hereditary disease, should not be as susceptible of cure as other like evils. He stumbles over a work by Para- celsus, written in the fifteenth century, in which it was claimed that gold, the king of metals, was a specific for all hereditary taint. The doctor began experimenting with the various salts of geld used in medi- cine, and at last claims to have discovered a certain cure tor drunkenness in what he calls the ‘‘ double chloride of gold cure !” Starting with the premise that drunken- ness has a physical basis in a diseased con- dition of the nervous system, the doctor argues that the action of gold being upon the higher cerebral nerve centres, it is rational to look for a cure, instancing that gold has long been used for that form of insanity knewn as melancholia, and also in cases of neurasthema, or nerve exhaus- tion. Perhaps the mest peculiar feature of this new cure for drunkenness is that the patient is not required to step drinking when he places himself under treatment, but is allowed to drink spirituous liquors while taking the medicine. But the doctor claims that by the third day the taste of liquor becames nauseous, and that after the fourth day the patient will refuse it al- together ; and it seems this is the fact. The principle upon which the remedy acts is like unte that of vaccine virus, it eliminat- ing from the system the element which has an affinity for the poison of alechol. Some astonishing cures have been effected, and the introduction of the remedy befere the various temperance bodies has made it the subject of much discussion among their members.

For THE Great Norrawest.-—Mr. Fred Philipse Robinson, son of Colonel Beverley Rebinson, of the Nashwaaksis, near Fred- ericton, has left New Brunswick for Fort Macleod, N. W. Territery. He intends going into the cattle crazing. Having been three years in the Mounted Police Force, in the Far West, he has had a good oppor- tunity ef judging the capabilities of that country, and is quite convinced that under- neath the Recky Mountains cattle can keep in good condition all winter. The climate, owing to the preximity of the Pacific, being unusually mild in that region and well adapted for grazing purpeses.—St. John Telegraph.

Rust on wheat is reported from the Ottawa Valley. and in Addington and Lennox.

Mr. Miller Lawson writes from Parry Sound as follows :—‘‘ We have pretty hard times in this country yet, as this is the first crep for our new settlement; what crops we have got in look well, but we have had very wet weather for some time, which has been a serious hindrance to our getting new fallows burnt up.”

An insect has attacked the spring wheat in Lanark county, and is doing great damage to it. There is scarcely a farm where the grain is unmolested. It is said that the insect came with the seed wheat, which was nearly all imported from the West.

The Gazette announces that froia the Ist July animals from British North America arriving at Liverpool may be transhipped in the Mersey to vessels specially licensed by Privy Council for conveyance to any dock, quay, or other landing place within the port of Liverpool.

When one element is in excess in the soil the effect is just the same as though the other elements were deficient. For instance an excess of nitrogen will cause wheat to rust ; and se will a defieiency of phosphoric acid. Jn fact the excess of nitrogen puts the soil in just such a con- dition, as regards liability to rust, as will be reached by the taking of several grain crops in succession. Avy illustration of this may be found in the commen occurrence of wheat making a very rank growth and rusting in some spots where there has been an excess of barnyard, that is nitrogenous, manure put en.

Latest News Notes.

A writer to the London Times shows that New Zealand is now in a deplorable state, thousands being on the brink of starvation, while her indebtedness amounts to the enormeus sum of $175,000,000. The writer fears that she, like Ireland, may be obliged to make an appeal to the world for aid in her straits, to which, he says, she has been reduced by over-sanguine and ainbitieus statesmen.

FaraL DrowninG Accipent, — Lieut. Bulley, of the 97th regiment, a great favorite at Hali- tax, lost his life under the followisg circum- stances : On Sunday he rowed out to the Is- land, intending to take a bath and cure a badly sunburnt face. The empty boat was found yesterday, ten feet from the shere, anchored toa sandbank. On search being made the bedy was found near the beat, completely doubled with cramps, which were the cause Lof his death. The deceased was 2v years of age and it was reported that he was shortly to be married to Miss Vail, daughter of Hon. W. B. Vail.

The New York Nation has not a word to say against General Hancock, whom it calls a gallant sodlier and an henest gentleman. it wishes there were ten times as miany men of the same stamp to run for President. But (it adds) the example which the ex- hibit of simple and loyal devotion to duty, of toil and sacrifice for other, things than gain, precious and fruitful as we believe it to be, retains its force only so leng as they follow the calling to which they were bred and. which they understand. They could net be as good soldiers as they are if they were fit candidates fer the Presidency. Not one of them ever enters the poStical arena without losing much if not most of what makes him really valuable to his country.

An excellent instance of the way in which the children in the average public school learn without learning is related by ‘* Barnes Educational Monthly.” A teacher in one of our public scheols has been accus- temed to require her pupils to say: ‘* The equator is an imaginary line passing around the earth,” &. It never occurred to her that the boys and girls of her sclfol had ne idea what an imaginary line meant, until one day a visitor asked them how wide they theught the equator is. Some thought it was 5,000 miles wide, others 2,000, and others said they could jump over it. One pupil said he thought they got out and drew them over, and another said he had read that a canal had been dug through it! ‘‘ Whatis the name of this canal!” was asked. ‘‘The Suez Canal !” was the answer.

One of the most genial drummers on the road entered his name en the call-slate of the Benson House the other night to be called for an early train. Well knowing what his first wantin the morning would be, he added after his name the letters **b, & 8.,” which being interpreted means brandy and soda. He was astonished next morning to find a porter standing with a bath tub and another porter in the rear with two pails. Me had frecsently been asked by bartenders if he was going to take a bath, but he had never before had anything of the kind forced upon him. ‘* What’s that for?” he inquired. ‘‘Didn’t you. put yourself dewn for a bath 7?” was the mild answer of the half-awake porter ; ‘‘b. s. I thought stood for ‘bath sure,’” ‘‘Great heavens ! what ignorance,” ejaculated the c. t.; ‘‘ b. & s. stands for boots and shoes.” Well, I thought se, too, until I saw that you only had shoes~outside your door,” was the somewhat mixed answer of the porter. This flattened out the traveller completely, and after goed natured parle and explanations he got his brandy and soda. The porter considers abbreviations
