The English Agricultural Outlook.

(London Globe, Oct, 23rd.) The British farmer has lately been the

subject of universal congratulations on his impr. ¥. g prospects,and the *‘eycle theory Is emp Oyed to demonstrate that the term of lean years has now given place to an equally ‘prolonged period of fat years. Hie has had one “splendid harvest ; he will probably have five or six others in succes: sion. Who is there so blest as the British farmer? Odd to say, the long-suffering worthy does not recognize his good fo wie, and so far from feeling thankful ‘or the po spect of having other years like 1884, he dec ares that a single repetition would about complete his ruin, A Lancastrian riculturist shows cause why this should He has gathered in a good harvest, but what’s the good of that when the price of wheat has fallen to 32s. per quarter! His potato crop was, he admits, a fair one, bus where 1s the mar- gin for profit when the tubers sell at £1 15s. per ton? It is the same with regard to butter and other dairy produce ; ‘the cultivation is well enough, but the | prices simply ruinous. Meat would pay, land pay well, could the farmer get anything like the rates paid by consumers. But the | middlemen take very good care to prevent that. and thus not a single source of profit lis left to the unhappy agriculturist. This | gloomy picture may be exaggerated in some

Mr. Fawcett.

| Tuer Right Honorsble Henry Fawcett, | whose death was announced a few days ego, | was born at Salisbury in 1833, was educated lat Trinity College, Cambridge, of which he | was a scholar, graduate] in high mathema- ‘tical honor in 1856, and was elected a Fel- iw of the Society in the same year. Mr. | Fawcett was totally deprived of his sight by ‘an accident when shooting in September, i808. Having written and published a | Manual of Political Economy, the Economic | Position of the British Laborer in 1865, and having been an extensive contributor of | articles on economic and political science to various magazines and reviews, he was

‘elected, in 1873, Professor of Politi- ‘cal Economy in the University of ' Cambr.dge. He unsuecessfully con- tested Southwark on Liberal prin- ‘ciples in 1857, the Borough of Cam-

bridge in 1863 and Brighton in February, | 1864, but was returned for the last men- tioned constituency at the general election

jin July, 1865, and was re-elected in 186). | He was unseated at Brighton at the general | election of February, 1874, and was elected ‘from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, P. E. | for Hackney ia April of the same year. On

the formation of Mr. Gladstone’s adminis- 1880, he was appvinted Post- master General. His work in this office, is his greatest monument, and his name willever be indissolably connected with ithe practical extension of cheap postal | facilities throughout Great Britain. Though totally blind, he was, without doubt, (with the aid of his wife) one of the abiest men in England. cnn alii tomeg ‘The Nile Rapids The following description of the cataracts of the Nile will be read with special ioterest at present by all Canadians.

<a Pre _

An English visitor to Canada, well acquainted with the demands of the British

,makret, suggests that part of the shipments

of apples from this country to Britain

| might be made in pails instead of barrels.

fo buy a barrel of frait requires more

ready cash than many of the poorer people in English cities can lay out at a single time. They prefer buying in small quan- tities, and the temptation to buy a nice littie lot of apples in a cheap, plain, un- painted pail, which could be put to house- hold service afterwards, is great. There appears on the face of it enough in the suggestion to merit an ex- periment on the part of our ex- poyiers. Perhaps, too, it might be well to experiment with shipping apples in light baskets similar to peach baskets, but per- hapsa little smaller. Such baskets would cost only a cent to a cent and a half apiece, a trifling cost compared with the larger market and better prices which might be obtained by developing the demand for apples amongst the poorer classes in British cities,

Mr. Froude, in ore of his new Carlyle volumes, says of Mrs. Carlyle and her mother that ‘the mother and daughter were passionately attached, yet on the daughter’s part, perhaps, the passion lay in an intense senge of duty, for their habits did not svnit and their characters we'e strongly contrasied.”’ Mrs. Welsh was ‘‘enihusiastic, sentimental, Byronic,”

‘and Mrs. Carlyle ‘‘fiery and generous, but

with a keen, sarcastic understanding,”’ The one was acevstomed to rule, while the

| other declined to be rnled when her judg- | { . . Pose } ‘ment was unconvinced, and thus, in spite |

of their mutual affection, “‘ they were

eeldom much tegether without a collision.”
