Tak BATTLE IN NORTH ONTARIO,

(Mail and Empire. )

The (Grit) plan of campaign seems to have been drafted by Mr. Tarte. At all events, it was the work of an expert in political dodgery. First, Mr. Gillespie nominated as a Liberal. Being a oman Catholic, it was undoubiedly as- sumed that his co-reiigionista would rush | heed'essly to his support, no matter what | his propositions on fiscal and other ques- | tions might happen to be. He was to get | the unalterable Liberal voie, and the Reman Catholic vote added. As he advo- eated the commission proposal, coup!ed with acry of no ccercion, it was thougi t | that he would also capture a large body | of Protestants. For those Protestants, | however, who could not vote Gillespie, a decoy was presented in the per son of the Patron candidate, Mr. Brandon, who at one time was a Conservative. Mr. Brandon was to pull oit the Conservative Protestants, and through his “pulls” and Mr. Gillispie’s captures the Liberal can- didate was to achieve a victory. The a-- rangement was splendid in theory; but -o execution it has turned out to be weak. No doubt some Conservatives were drawn cff by the Brandon expedient, but Liberals also took Mr. Brandon in earnest, with the result we now see. The campaign throughout is a peculiar commentary upon Mr. Laurier aod his friend:. These gentlemen, after much boasting as to their own strength in the country, as to the popularity of their policy and the weakness of their opponents, meet with an opportunity to display their mettle in Ontario. Butthey do not face the enemy in astraight fizht; nor does the lead- er, or Mr. Tarte,or Mr. McShane present himself to expound the programme or to tell the electors how to vote. It would appear as if Mr. Laurier’s leadership of the men “who smell the soup at Octawa, and are ready with their ladles,” is very effective at picnics, where there is nothing more to do than to make pretty speeches and to kiss the little girls. But when it comes to action it is found to be wanting, and to lead to nowhere,

YOUNG MEN’S DEBATING SOCIETY. A ineeting of the young nen of Gallas Point was held in the echoolnouse for the purpose of re-organizing The Young Men’s Debating Society. Mr. S. Cavanagh was spoointed chairman of the meeting. The en:husiasm of the members present speaks well for the prospects of a successful

<eries of debates, which the young men intend shall be the best since the

society was first organized. Following are the offi_ers elected :

President—Matthias Frauzht.

First Vice-President — Solomon acagh,

Second Vice-President—Jas. Morrissey.

Third Vice-President—Neil Praught

Secretary-Treasurer — A. Seymour Young.

The members hold their first debate for this season on Friday evening next, and vill diecuss “Which is the better country for our young men—Canada or the United States 2?”

A vote of thanks being tendered the shairman, and three cheers given for the Y.M.D.S., the meeting was brought toa close.

William O Brien Talking Fight,

Lexpox, Dec. 13.—An article written by William O’Brea for the Revue Poli- tiqne on “The European Aspect of the [rizh Question” has attracted attention owing to the developments in the East Mr. O’Brien argues that the Irish bond of *ympathy with LEngland’s enemies has not entirely disappeared. The new move- ment begun in Chicago ought to be fer statesmen a matter of duty. The Trish- Americans have sufficient influence with the United States’ Government to stop the progress of a family entente between the two great English-speaking nations. They have also the power to arouse an enemy that England has the most reason to fear in the world. The young men of the Gaelic Athletic Association, he says, would form a ready-made army for a French or Russian expedition, which would put rifles in their hands, and they would capture Cork and Limerick and hold them long enough to a'low Irishnien to rally to their flag. Mr. O’Brien is of the opinion that the English fleet watch- ing the channel could not prevent a Jand- ing in Ireland.

Gold may be plentiful in the Alaskan fields, but it takes a good deal of it to buy what in most places are considered com- mon luxuries if pot necessities. Whiskey costs 50 cents a drink, measured out by the vendor, too, in Circle City, and a gallon cf it costs $20 or more. Beer hot frora the vat costs 25 cents a drink and is scarce at that. Usually itis to be had only on festal occasious, at dances and the like. Then brewing kettles are kept go- ing on the cook stovee, the beer is set out- side a few minutes to cool a little, and then is passed steam: ng over the bar at 25 cents adrink. A brewery is now being built at Circle City.

The manifestation of sympathy in the Italian Chamber for the soldiers lost in Abyssinia is, no doubt, perfectly natural and sincere, but, to the English mind, there seems something theatrical about such displays of feeling. Englishmen do not mourn their dead less sincerely, but they show it less. There is something much more impressive in the old Roman reserve, a8 shown in the simple announce- ment after the disaster at Canrw, “We Lave been defeated in a great battle,” than in all modern oratory and effusiveness.

A counterfeiting plant in the Arkansas state penitentiary was discovered by offi- cials inspecting that institution last week. In the cell of one of the pritoners were found two plaster of paris moulds for making 25-cent pieces, a tin cup iron spoon and other articles necessary to the business the prisoner seemed to be carry- ing on successfully. About the man’s body was a cloth belt containing 10 spuri- ous guarter dollars made of Babbitt metai. Several similar coins were found on other convicts.

““My little daughter, three and a half years old, suffered three years with Eczema. Her little body was covered with the itching rash, and doctors did no good. Four boxes of Chase’s Ointment have entirely cured and saved our child. Her skin is clear and not a sign of rash is to be seen.” Andrew Aiton, Hartland, N. B.

DANGEROUS,

Any kidney ailment is dangerous. Be- cause you never know where it will end.

Suppose you feel languid, suppose you have feverish symptoms, there must be pison in the blood for these are the certain signs.

To the fact that pisons get past the kidneys, may be traced every sickness to which you aae ligcle. -

Therefore do it promptly and well. We are trying to teach people to turn to Dodd’s Kidney Pills as the simplest and greatest treatment of kidney diseases on earth.

* ALL I DID WAS JUST TO MOPE AROUND” ** Scot?’s SARSAPARILLA CURED ME.”

The chilly weather of late fall and early winter finds them unpre to stand the change and hence they suf- fer. This fact is plainly proved by the following opinions of some who speak from practical experience :

“T felt like a man that could commit suicide. I caught a cold while camp- ing on damp ground, had twinges ef awful muscular pains, couldn't eat and couldn't sleep. All I did was to mope around and make all in the house as miserable as myself. Scott's Sarsapar- ila put new life in me, braced me up thoroughly, and since its use pain isa stranger to me.”’ Alex Grant, Toronto.

J.T. McGraw, a mining prospeetor, writing from Minden: Express me three bottles Scott's Sarsaparilla here before

Saturday. Have been a martyr to rheumatism and indigestion b ton by exposure, Scott's Sarsa la is

rapidly curing me.”

Nothing has ever equalled Scott's Sarsaparilla for building up the system, putting the blood in healthful circula- tion and invigorating the bodr. Thou- sands testify to its splendid effects in extreme weakness and all debilitating diseases. On this account no imitation of Scott’s should be accepted.

CAHCASS OF A DEAD HORSE,

Haircloth, Boots, Gloves, Combs, Glue nod Various Useful Acids Made From the Animal.

Tu these bicycle days, when a horse is hardly worth the price of his oats, and he is a better source of revenue wheu dead than he was when alive, it may be interesting to know what be- somes of the carcass when it goes to the rendering works in Paris or in Port- land, Ore. Not long ago the Portland concern bought one round-up of Mon- tana horses for $3 each. The canning of horseflesh for European consumption is vet in its infancy, and there is but slight probability that it will ever be- come a profitable industry. As a mat- ter of fact, the horse carcass valuable for his chemical products than h» ever will be as an article of food.

Horses that have served useful and honorable careers for twenty or thirty years are fit only for the chemical pro- cess. When the retired animal is drag- ged in, it is first relieved of its hair by a shaving process. The tail and mane are especially valuable, and from these is made the haircloth of commerce. The short hair taken from the hide is used for stuffing pincushions and horse collars, and thus the dead are made to minister to the comfort of the living.

The hide of the horse is quite valu- able and the leather known as cordovan is mada from the skin over the rump. This leather is used in the manufacture of high-class hunting and wading boots, and it can be made impervious to water. The other leather is soft and is used mostly for slippers and heavy driving gloves. The hoofs of the ani- mal are removed and after being boiled to extract the oil from them, the horny substance is shipped to the manufac- tories of eombs and what are known as Mikado goods.

Next the carcass is placed in a cylin- der and cooked by steam at a pressure of three atmospheres. This separates the flesh from the bones. The leg bones are very harc. and white, and are used for handles of pocket and table cutlery. Theribs and head are burned tomake bone-black after they have been treated for the glue that isin them. Inthe calcining of these bones the vapors arising are condens- ed and form the chief source of car- bonate of ammonia, which constitutes the base of nearly all ammoniacal salts. There isan animai oil yielded in the cooking process which is a deadly poison, aud enters into the composition of many insecticides and vermifuges.

The bones to make glue are dissolv- ed in muriatic acid, which takes the phosphate of lime away ; the soft ele- ment retaining the shape of the bone is dissolved in boiling water, cast into squares and dried on nets. The phos- phate of lime, acted upon by sulphuric acid and calcined with carbon, pro- duces phosphorus for lucifer matches, The remaining flesh is distilled to ob- tain carbonate of ammonia. The re- suiting mass is pounded up with pot- ash, and then mixed with old nails and iron of every description; the whole is calcined and yields little yellow crys- tals—prussiate of potash, with which tissues are dyed a Prussian blue and iron transformed into steel. It also forms cyanide of potassium and prussic acid, the two most terrible poisons k1_own in chemistry.

In the course of a lawsuit in St. Louis several years ago it was put in evidence that the River Rendering Company, which had the contract for the removal of dead animals from the city streets, made a clear profit of $24 ou each horse careass that they handled.

The Return to Old-English Expression,

Modern historians, whose style is strong on the native side—men like Green and Froude and Harrison—fur- nish examples of the influence upon personal diction of delvings in the by- gone life and language. A glance at some modern poets may be taken, to strengthen the impression ; and no man can fitlier head the list than William Morris, whose verse is notable in this matter of good old English. 1 draw on his great story-eycle, ‘The Earthly Paradise,” a stanza from "The Man Born tobe King”: “So long he rode he drew anigh

A will upon the river’s brim,

That seemed a goodly place to him ;

Fer o'er the oily smooth mill-head

There hung the apples growing red,

And mauy an ancient apple tree

Within the orchard could he see,

While the smo. th mill walls, white and biack,

Shook to the great wheel's measured clack

And grumble of ihe gear within :

While o'er the ro. ft at dulled the din

The doves sat cooing half the day,

And round the half-cut s‘ack of hay

The sparrows fluttered twittering.”

We have chosen this earlier unob- trusive example of a happy use of the native English elements in verse rather than one from the later, more pro- nouncedly archaic, and to some arti-

ficially Germanic, work of Morris, though this richly illustrates the

principle. This natural trouvere may be called a pionser of the linguistic renascence when it is remembered that the chief poem-group of his life dates from 1838-70. And with him may pro- perly be set Swinburne ; he too exhibits in his verse, in his diction and metres as well, the strong influence upon him of the root-flavors of speech ; though in his case a softer, more voluptuous effect is gained by the intermingling of classic elements. This renascence of English, then. silent but steady, for the most part unsensational, but none the less potent. is to be appreciated to-day and in the twentieth century will be more apparent. And the very fact that our leading writers wish to turn back thus to native uses and things is, so far as it goes, proof of the race’s health, of its solidarity and esprit de corps. We may take comfort in it when confront- ing an alarmist like Nordau ; for a gen- eral degeneration of the speech would follow any general degeneration of literature ; and the testimony of lan- guage, just now, directs us to opposite and more cheerful conclusions.—Qcto- ber Forum.
