NOTES AND COMMENTS.

ae ee ’ —Mr. J.J. Foote, proprietor of the Quebee Chronicle, is dead, aged 62 years.

—Itis said among London political clubs that, while Lord Salisbury will pro- bably be raised to adukedom when the Queen celebrates her diamond jubilee this year, he does not desire the elevation.

—Nansev’s American tour will begin in October. He is said to be very successful asa lecturer. He has a good command of English, and his splendid physique and powerful voice commands attention even 1m the jurgeet halls.

—The weekly reports from the commer- cia) agencies in New York state that the conditions of business are practically un- changed. The stock market of New York has been more or Jess affected by rumors from Europe of a warlike nature. Busi- ness in the United States has been seri- ously interfered with by floods, and pros- pective labor troubles are causing con- siderable misapprehension. While the genera) conditions of business are perhaps

—A rather unusual, if not comical, pro- ceeding took place when Mr. Hackett was being nominaied. Everyone present saw that it was done for one effect, but it had another and different one, viz., to put a local lawyer in a most ludicrous position. {t appears that a very decent farmer who has heretofore been a Liberal, became aconvert (amongst many others) to Mr. Hackett’s cause, and signed Mr. Hackett’s nomination paper, which requires to be signed by at least 25 electors, and subse- quently to be attested and sworn to before the Returning Officer. The fact of Mr. Crockett’s conversion became known to the Liberals -in Alberton, and tke Laurier practice of “conciliation” and “sunny ways” were immediately applied with the result that be agreed to remove his name from ue nomination paper. The Alberton wire- pullers decided to bave this done in a public way iv order to. produce an effect on the electors. So, when the nomination paper was preduced to the Returning Officer, Mr. Crockett and George Tweedy, a lawyer residing in Albertun, jumped up and asked that the name be erase and withdrawn, but the Returning Officer

normal, the outlook is generally of a pro- mising nature.

energy with which the Czar had defended

and succeded in getting adopted by the

Powers the principle of the integrity of

the Ottoman Empire. He hopes that

neither Russia nor the other Powers will

absodon this attitude, and he solemnly

aseerverates his profound deference for

Europe and hie extreme desire to conform

to ite wishes and to heed its counsuls,

adding that he considers the expression of

the desire of the Powers as legitimate and

as dictated by a» sentiment of friendship

— One or two poinis in the Emigration Returns are of considerable interest. In the first place, the rate of emigration, particularly from Jreland, coutinues to decrease. It is with some gratification that we are able to record the fact that while Britich. and especially Irish, emigration to the United States, is decling there are more and more more Scotchmen who come to seek their fortunes in Canada—193 in all for the month of March, against only 19 last year. ‘Taking the returns as a whole, we find that in this year already British emi- gration shows a decline of 3,000 to the United States, of 233 to South Africa, and of 106 to “‘all other 8,” while there ia .o7 of 60 to C a, and 368 to Austra-

—There is in the New York rivers and Jakes a parasitic fish, the lamprey, which lives entirely by sucking the blood of otber fishes, attacking such vigorous fish as the black bass and the pickerel. Professor Gage of Cornell University has seen twelve thousand of these Jampreys spawning at onetime in the inlet to Cayuga Lake alone. By actual count twelve out of every fifteen bullheads caught in Cayuga Lake and tributary streams huve been attacked by these blood- suckers and Professor Gage, who has made aspecial study of the lampreys, makes the sober scientific statement that they @ nually destroys more good food fish than all the kooks and nets of all the legal and iliega! fishermen of New York State. The lamprey is about the size and has some- what the appearance of an eel. An effort is now being made to obtain from the state a mal] appropriation to see whetber the Jampreys can be exterminated by trapping them as they go up the creeks to

Nervous

People find just the help they so much need, in Hood’s Sarsaparilla. It fur- nishes the desired strength by puri- fying, vitalizing and enriching the blood, and thus builds up the nerves, tones the stomach and regulates the whole system. Read this:

“I went to praise Hood’s Sarsaparilla. My health run down, and I had the grip. After that, my heart and nervous system

were badly affected, so that I could not do my own work. Our physician gave me

some help, but did not cure. I decided to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Soon I could do all my own housework. I have taken

Hood’s Pills with Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and they have done me much good. I will not be without them. I have taken 13 bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla,and through the blessing of God, it has cured me. Il worked as hard as ever the past sum- mer, and I am thankful to say I am well. Hood’s Pills when taken with Hood’s Sarsaparilla help very much.” Mrs. M. M. MessENGER, Freehold, Penn.

This and many other cures prove that

simply told him that he had no power to

alter documents that had been filed with

him, and even the most ignorant elector present saw the force, as well as the effect, of what the Returning Officer said. Neither Mr. Crockett nor his friends now thank those who placed him in such a position.

—‘The first and second volumes of ‘ A History of Qur Own Times’ appeared in 1878, and were received with undoubted

ublic welcome,” say the English pub- flokaes, Chatto & Windus, in announcing the new volumeof the work which Har

r & Brothers are to publish. in the

nited States. “It had occurred to the author that one of the most diffivult tasks for a young student just then was to get hold of the history of our own times. If anybody wanted to learn something of the facts concerning the reign of Elizabeth,

or the reign of Anne, or the reign of George the Third, or the years of the great Reform Bill, there were

standard books on every subject, which could be got atin every public library, and which indeed stood on the shelves of most men’s private libraries; but, to make one’s self acquainted with what had hap. pened in the reign of Queen Victoria, there were only the interminable files of newspapers to consult, except, of course, for some epecial works deulieg with par- ticular chapters of history, such as the Crimean Waror the Iudian Mutiny. This was the want which the autbor of the History was anxious to supply, and he started upon his task with the cenviction that there was no necessity for making even contemporary histury a dry record of facts and dates. A third and fourth volume were added to the story somewhat later, and the review of events passing within our own recollection was brought up to the crisis of 1880, when Mr. Gladetone, at the head of the Liberal party, once more re- turned to power. he fifth volume now announced takes up the story at that momentous epoch. It proposes to pass in review all that has happened in the affairs of the Empire from that time until the ‘Diamond Jubilee’ of the Queen’s long reign.”

Since January 1 eighty-five abandoned infants have been picked up in the streets and on the doorsteps of Toronto.

In a Franklin county, Me., town, where there were thirteen voters, the town meet- ing was postponed uutil the last day of March to enable a young man to become qualified to cast a ballot. Some neighbor- ing critics questioned whether the change was due to a spirit of accomodation or to superstition.

At a meeting of Cardinals. convened by Mgr. Satolli in Rome, the object was said to be the question of the Pope’s successor. It is said Mgr. Satoili wishes to be a can- didate for the Papal chair when vacant.

Patrick Murphy, a well known resident of Wolfville, N.S, dropped dead while walking on a street there a day or two ago. Mr. Murphy had been in Kentville the day previous and was spparently in good health. He was 55 years of age.

THE PAINTERS,

‘Henry Coleman, the well known Amerfi- ean artist, of Rome, has placed some of his work on exposition in the international exhibition at Florence.

Jeorge Frederick Watts, R. A., is build- ing a church near Guilford, England, in which he will paint frescoes himself, while his wife will design the terra cotta decora- tions.

Saverio Altamura, one of the last of the Neapolitan romantic school of painting, has just died. He was a poetandan author as well. He took part in the revolution of 1848 and was exiled from Naples until the Bourbons were driven out.

The most unfavorable reports continue to come concerning the condition of the Hungarian painter Munkacsy. Until re- cently he has been ina state of listless apathy, but is now a dangerous maniac, having attempted to kill his servant and his physician.

WHY SHE WORE HER HAT,

Ble Made Many CGuesses, but It Seems They Were All Wrong.

‘*‘Women are growing more sensible as a class,’’ said the tall man at the theater.

“T den’t see how you can say that,’’ growled the short man, crossing his legs and allowing on» foot to protrude into the aisle in a way Which threatened danger to passersby.

‘‘T was noticing the small hat that wom- ean two seats ahead of me has on,’’ return- ed the tall man. ‘‘She is evidently a sensi- ble woman and’’—

‘‘Humph! Just look at the woman in front of me,’’ growled the short man, ‘‘Do you sce anything sensible about her? Look et that hat, will you?’’

‘*I don’t call that a large hat,’’ said the tal! man. ‘‘You ought to have seen the one in front of me the other evening.’’

‘*] don’t know what you call a large hat then,’’ sniffed the short man. ‘‘I suppose this woman couldn’t afford both a hat and an umbrella, so she got a hat that would go duty for both.’’

The tall man chuckled, then he whis- pered: ‘‘Keep it up. I can tell she is lis- tening.”’

‘Perhaps I ought not to expect her te take it off though,’’ went on the short man. ‘Her hair may be up in curl papers or crimping pins, and in that case I should be the last man to wish her to take her hat off.’’

The lady’s hands went up to the pins in her hat, and then, glancing at the man next her, she let them drop in her lap.

‘‘Again,’’ went on the short man, ‘‘she may be quite an old woman and afraid of drafts, so, of course, I must not com- plain. I can’t think of any other reason why she wears a hat in a theater.’’

The lady whirled around in her seat, with blazing eyes.

‘“*You can’t think why I wear a hat in the theater, can't you?’’ she said. ‘Well, I'll tell you—it is on my husband’s ac- count.’’

The short man looked asif he hada touch of apoplexy, and the tall man pre- tended not to hear. :

“I—I don’t understand,’ faltcred the short man.

‘Oh, don’t you? Well, as soon asthe curtain goes down he will grab his hat and coat and bounce out into the aisle, calling, ‘Come on, Amelia!’ He puts on his coat as he goes, even if he does knock down a few people in doing it. I can't do that, and if I had to stop to put on my hat, too, he would reach home ere I could catch up to him. And that is why I wear my hat at the theater.’’

The short man made no reply, but after the curtain went up, noticing that she had no programme, he reached over and hand- ed her one.—Chicago Times-Herald.

PAUPERS AND SCRAP IRON,

The Grounds of an Almshouse Beautifed by Desultory Ingenuity.

What can be made out of scraps is shown in many ways in the domestic economies of Blackwell's island. It has no mere inter- esting illustration than the arbor work that is being put together there from time to time. Nosliver of iron goes to waste about the almshouse grounds. Among the paupers are many clever artisans in the metals, who are able to make anything from a crowbar to a clock. It is a pleagant occupation for them to tinker away in the shops. So the keepers have had them work over the iron hoops, broken stove lids, dis- used kitchen utensils, tin cans and other institution wreckage.

Out of this unpromising material they have made ornamental trellises and wick- erwork, handsome garden gates and suin- mer houses for the yines to clamber over. Set at intervals about the alimshouse farm, these bits of adornment give it some of the aspect of an Finglish estate, with lodge gate and inviting nooks. The accummu- lation of picturesque effects is going on slowly, but constantly. ;

An important auxiliary is the roadmak- ing that is carried on with the aid of the workhouse people. The island is being provided with a system of highways that delight the doctors who ride wheels. They are hard and smooth, and, what is more, no money is spent in their construction. From the rock of their beds tothe top dressing of ashes tamped down to the sinoothness of asphalt everything is the product of the island’s waste. No expense is incurred in keeping work horses. A dozen short term men at the end of a long rope will jerk along a cart as full as it will hold of building material. The problem of employing the city’s charges without bringing them into conflict with the jeal- ousies of the labor unions is well on to- ward solution upon Blackwell’s island.— New York Mail and Express.
