—Thurlow Weed, whose death at the advaneed age of eighty years, was av- nounced a few days ago was, before the Civil war, one of the leading journalists ot the United States. He began his life’s work as a priuter’s apprentice, and twenty

ears afterwards became an_ editor.

hen he became a member ot the Legis- lature of New York. |v 1830, he became editor of the Albany Evening Journal, the leading organ of the party; and alter that he never Held office, but de- voted all his energies to the labor of putting others iu and out of office. Although he made his friend Seward a Goveruo", a Senator and a prominent candidate for the Presidency, he refused all political perfermeat himself, aad con- tinned to edit the Evening Journal uutil 1862, after which he spent some time in Europe for the benefit of his health. On his return in 1°67 he edited the New York Commecial Advertiser ; but failing health soon compelled him to retire. Since then he has taken no active part in journalism, bat bas been looked upon as a sort of political oracle worthy of being consulted upou great occasions,

——Mr. Davin tells the foilowing story—so characteristic of the great Con servative Leader, Sir John A. Mac donald: ‘“‘In due course the party arrived at Quebec. The visit to the Au giican Cathedra! brought on some vew and origiual ideas on the subject of the church decoration from Mr. Roby ; the visit to the cathedral, the St. Louis Hotel and Mount Hermon Cemetery also contributiug to the general amusement and ioterest. Aud the first chapter of what is really a vovel in three chapters concludes with this scene, which we be- lieve is historical, and took place this summer. On reachivg the St. Louis Hotel they saw Sir John Macdonald, with his thonghttul face and dark curls, which still fight hard against the bleach- ing touch of time He was surrounded by a lot of cabmen ali crying, ‘ I'll take you, sir, ‘lvea fine horse, Sir John.’ Theo our friends had the opportunity of witnessing one of those acts, which more then his great ability has endeared Sir Jolin Macdovald to a large portion of the Canadian people. Sir John asked whether Jim MceCullogh was there. Jim was potthere. But a little boy said Jim was on the stand, and he woald fetch him. Many years ago when the Par- liament met io Quebec, Jim always drove Sir John. Jim now came, old and ragged, driving the worst cab in Quebec. Sir John shook hands with him, ioquired how Biddy and the chil- dren were, and then amid cheers in which even the disappointed cabmen joined, drove off to visit the Governor- General avd the Princess Louise.

A gentleman from Tignish—who says he knows—informs us that the report concerning Mr. Hackett is a mere fanciful rumor; and that before he left Tiguish, Mr. Hackett had secured no positioa whatever. Plants in Living or Sleeping

Rooms.

The following from the pen of the late

James Vick, is sufficiently clear to set at

rest the fears of alt those who are afraid that growing ,;lants, in a sleeping room, are unwholesome :-—

“Growing plants, vegetation in general, is the meaus nature employs to purify the atmosphere ; the gases, which are the pro- ducts of respiration, and of the decom- position of organic matter, eitaer vege'able or animal, are assimilated by the growing plant, or converted int its tissues. In the wondrous laboratory of nature these pro- cesses are constantly in operation, so that all organic substance, in their turn, to- yether with all the effete producis of animal life, serve the purpose of sustaining vege- tation. The process of this assimilation of matter or food in plants is a direct result of the action of sunlight, though, there is rea- son to believe, the process is nut wholly inte mitted during the night, but that the peculiar action, induced ip the plant by the direct sunlight, is continved with a dimin- ishing force in the hours of ordinary dark- ness; probably but little new matter is received into the plant in the night, but the process of assimilation is in completion. The facts and experinients on which these deductions are made, could be given in detail, but those curious in this matter we would refer to the writings of vegetable physiologists.

So far, then, as growing plants are con cerned, we have a clear case, and can say positively that they are not only not in- jurious, but actually benefieial. There is, however, another view to take of the sub- j ct, and that is in regard to blooming plants. The perfume of some flowers is not orly disagreeble to sume persons, but, when they are eXposed to them for some length of time, affects them with headache, nausea and febrile symptoms, more or less aggravated. Especially is this the case with those peculiarly heavy odors given off by some varieties of hyacinths, tuberoses, jJasmines, orange blossoms, and some other kinds. Of these there is no question, and all such plants should be avoided by those sensitive to them; and, probably, it would be well fer any one not to have such plants in a sleeping room. But the cantinm is scarcely necessary, for it is seldom that any great amount of bloom is attained in house-plants in the winter. Again, the ventilation that is necessary, and that in every well regulated room is given, secures from all harm, in ordinary praciice, from the odors of flowers.

A bouquet left stanaing in the same water fur several dys, as is sometimes allowed, may become quite offensive, but, this case of decaying vegetable matter is far different from living plants. A light burning in a room, or a small animal, like & cai, or a dog, occupying it, will vitiate

The three sources of ill-health “i im-door life, in Winter in particular, are; first, super-heatod air ; second, (eo dry air; and, third, an lair loaded with carbonic acid, Regulate ithe first two conditions so plants live and l thrive, and they will rapidly absorb the ‘acid.

In conclusion then, only discriminating against those plants, the odor of which we know to be disagreeable cr injurious to us, we can safely say that plants in living or 'sleeping rooms, are beneficial in purifying the atmosphere, and that a room with more or lees of thrifty, growing planta, has not

Lives. Yesterday afternoon, Kdward Mulligan, a well-to-do farmer, arrived at County ine by the afternovn train from Saummer- le. He lives a mile and ahalf from but did not go to his

On the contrary, he partook of the hospi- tality of some of the villagers, and also par- took of their ardent to a limited degree. Shortly before dusk, he left for home and selected as his route the railway track. He did not proceed a-half mile from the sta- tion before Morpheus, assisted by Bacchus, attecked him. He fell their victim, and laid quietly alongside the rails. At 6 45 the Summerside regular train, in charge of Conductor Thompson, came steaming along.

;The driver noticed a dark object on the track, but not in time to stup the train before the pilot of the engitie came in contact with it. The

train was, however, stopped as goon as pus- sible, and Conductor Thompson, on going back, discovered to his horror, the appar- ently dead body of a man. It was placed in the baggage car, taken to County Line Station, and given in charge ‘of Dr. Wall. On examination it was found that the pilot struck Mulligan on the shoulder, broke

several of his ribs, and inflicted several scalp-wounds in his head. He remained insensible for some time after the accident, but this morning, under the skilful treat- ment of Dr. Wail, he showed signs of recovery.

Any*«.., lwho wishes to cross: Queen Street, at norm Street, must, in bad weather, first go either down to Water Street, or up to Dorchester Street. To business men in the neighbor- hood it cannot but be a great ineon- venience ; to other men a loss of time, to ay the least of it, and to the public gen- erally a source of much just complaint. When we see the numerous crossings far- ther up the etreet, where no more business is done, we must say it is unfair to the locality in question, and we feel sure it will only need to be brought to the notice of our energetic and pains-taking Street Committee to secure what will be a great benefit to the public at large. This will be more apparent when we remember that at every other corner of Queen Street, and in some cases, we believe, between cross

streets, there is a foot-path. i | Y AUCTION on MONDAY, Nevember 27t', at 11 o'clock, at the Sub- scriber’s Sale Room: 1 Car Load! 120 barrels Winter Keeping Apples, in Bishop Pippins, Baldwins, Greenings, Spitzenbergs, Northern Spys, Ribston Pippins, and other varieties.
