THERE are eighteen heaps of manure on the side of St. Peter’s Road, between this city and St. Peter’s graveyard. Is not this fact sufficient to arouse the attention of the Over- seer or the Supervisor for the precinct? If not, then we say that these gentlemen require a little looking after. We are glad to see our farmers are utilizing so extensively the fertil- izers produced by the city ; but we fail to un- derstand the economy of ‘‘ dumping” it on the side of the read to pe an eyesore and a nui- sance to the whole neighborhood. It is said that on soft days the stench from these heaps is almost intolerable. Let them be taken away—immediately.

Macaulay admired} Dryden, but did not think him a man ef creative mind. ‘‘ He had great fertility,” he says in a letter to Mr. Napier, ‘‘ great command of language, great skill in versification, but I do not think thet he had in the highest sense of the word any originality. I do not dispute that his words are more valuable than those of Bunyan; but Ido not tbink that they show so much creative power. I should say the same of Pope as compared with De Foe. LIallow that Pope’s works are more valuable than De Foe’s; but 1 think that DeFoe had more originality, more native power of imagination than Pope.”

Sir Leonard Tilley, in his Guelph speech, pointed to the fact that Hight Hundred Phousand Dollars’ profit had been made in a few weeks by Canadian holders of sugars. The recent advance in sugars abroad has enabled our importers and refiners to make, above their ordinary profit, about two cents per lb. on 40,000,000 Ibs. This is due in large measure to our direct im- ports from the West Indies. Under the old Tariff, direct imports were discouraged and we were obliged to buy at second hands-— and largely from the United States. Under the new Tariff, we bring our sugars direct from the West Indies, and our merchants are in a position to take advantage of a rise. Were we this fall in the same pesi- tion we occupied last year, our merchants would have been importing from the States

have been made by the importers and re- tiners of other countries, principally of the United States.— Exchange.

Whatever may be Mr. Gladstone’s faults asa politician, there isno doubt that the world is indebted to him for many sound judgments on various questions. In ad- dressing the pupils of the Hawarden Gram- School a few months ago, he thus deliver- ed himself: ‘‘It is affirmed that ‘a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.’ This may be true, but it is not necessarily true. I cannot help thinking thatit is a great ad- vantage to you to gain as much knowledge as you can, of as many subjects as you can, and not to be deterred by any fear that your knowledge, being superficial, may lead you into error. Of course the danger is that a person who knows only a little of a subject may fancy himself well qualified to give an opinion on points that are really eut of his depth; but as long as a person feels and knows that his knowledge of a subject extends so far, and does not ven- ture beyond his depth, that persen has everything to gain and nothing to lose b getting some knowledge of it,even thoug the knowledge may be limited.”

Famine in Persia.

| - Lonpon, Dec. 14.—An appeal has reached jhere from the American missionaries at | Urumeyah, Persia, on behalf of the popu- |lation of that district and of Turkish Kur- |distan, who are already suffering from famine owing iothe failure of the wheat and raisin crop. Only about one-tenth of ithe usual impert of food has been made this | this season and the importation has now | entirely ceased ; the government doing little or nothing to relieve the distress of the in- habitants. The winter will intensify the distress and the need of relief is urgent.

Latest from Afghanistan.

Orrawa, Dec. 15.—Special cablegrams of yesterday confirms the rumor of the dis- covery of papers at Cabul, exposing Rus- sian intrigues in Afghanisian.

An advance on Herat is probable, unless Youb Khan consents to hold that city under British surveillance.

Catcutta, Dec. 15.—The Pioneer (news- paper) asserts that an immense mass of corres- pondence was found and laid before the Gov- ernment, including instructions from the Rus- sian Government to its agents in Central Asia marking out the course they were to follow with ex-Ameer Shere Ali. These papers are said to show that Russian intrigues against Afghanistan were active as far back as 1873, and to afiord conclusive proof of the falsity of the excuse given for the Russian mission to Cabul last year.

About Codfish.

The codfish isa sort of a national fish. It is known throughout the national world. All the year round the catch is ‘good about Newfoundland and Nantucket shoals. Im- mense quantities are also caught near the Dafoden Islands, Norway. Codfish are caught with hook and line, baited with clams or herring, at a depth of eighteen to fifty fathoms of water. Cod has no con- nexion with the commercial C. O. D., al- though cod is a commercial article. Large quantities are sent to the Mediterranean countries, and to Brazil. Itis relished by Spaniards, Italians, Portuguese, Sicilians and Greeks. To the natives of the West Indies the cod is a toothsome addition te their vegetable diet. Thecod fishery has been carried on for mere than four centur- ies, without any interruption ; yet the sup- ply at the present day is something stupen- dous. The fecundity of this fish is wonder- ful. By those,who have taken the trouble to satisfy themselves, it has been calculated that when one devours a cod’s roe he also devours no less than about 180,000,000 pounds of food, supposing it were allowed to arrive at maturity. One’s brain reels at the bare idea of reckoning what might be the condition of coddom if these fishes were left alone for a few years. There are mere than 2,000 vessels, with a tonnage of over 100,000 tons, and employing upwards of 10,000 men and boys, engaged in the bank —or cod fisheries.

The story of Wolfe’s ode on the burial of Sir John Moore, as told anew in an Eng- lish newspaper, is that it was written after reading an article on the subject by Walter Scott. A friend sent it to the editor of a a local paper, who published it with thé ini- tials ‘C. W.’ Wolfe got the credit of his own work among his friends, and the peem was read, talked of, and forgotten. The recognition of his merit was due to an ac- cident. Byron, criticising the lyrical poetry of the day, remarked that the finest lyric modern times has produced was produced anonymously aud was already forgotten. He maintained that the only writer then living who could produce such a work was Thomas Campbell. Byron died soon after- wards, and there appeared a volume of his ‘Conversations.’ The conversation about Wolfe was included in the volume, and the poem was thus a third time given to the world. ‘This time its merit was immediate- ly recognized, and critics were busy with their theories of its authorship. Moore and Scott were beth credited with it, but the general voice agreed with Byron and ascribed it to Campbell. One critic, how- ever, attributed the authorship to Byron, who, he said, would never have praised any work except his own in such hyperbolical terms. But Wolfe was alive, and the authorship was éstablished.

A Kworry Lecat Pornt.—Pomponius, a celebrated law teacher of Romé in the sixth century, entered into a contract with a Roman citizen to instruct his son in the law. This was the contract: So many coins if the pupil became learned in the law, the test to be that he should win his case before the tribunal. Pomponius turn- ed over his pupil as perfected in his studies, The father brought suit against the master to set aside the contract and retained his son to plead this his first case. ‘If my son gains his case the contract is made void. If he loses 1 am not beund.” Pompenius answers : ‘‘If I fail in my defence the son wins his case, and I am entitled to my money. If 1 gain, the court gives me the money by its decree.” Which side had the law ‘—Irish Law Times.
