Nova Scotia exported 30,000 cans of lobsters in 1870, and 5,000,000 in 1882. Quebec is behind io this industry, producing last year but 800,000 caus of lobsters. There are to-day in Canada 600 establishments engaged in canning lobsters, the product of which is 17,500,000 cans, valued at $3,000,000, almost as much as the Value of the product of our herrisg and mackerel fisheries combined. ‘The uumber of lobsters taken in England does not represent 3,000,000 in each year.

The National Debts

Mr. Micuarn Morar, F. R.S., has, after research and thought, come to the conclusion: Ist. That national debts are not to be viewed with such horror as our grandfathers and grandmothers enter- tained about them. 2nd. That they offer a convenient mode of iuvestment for

sritish capital, and are generally secure. Sed. The increase of debt in Europe has not injured the working classes. 4th. That we may expect to see national debts increase at least 100 millions a year daring the rest of the nineteenth century.

—Mr. Joncas says, ‘‘ The open boat system employed in Quebec and Prince Edward Island piaces our codfishermen | at a disadvantage.” He also says that} the system of making advances iu food | ‘ad clothing to the fishermen at the com- mencement of the season, leaving the fishermen coustavtly in debt, should be ibolished.

Gladstone and the Lords

semeecscemmaien ‘

ENEMIES OF THE CONSTITUTION-—-TREASON TO BRITISH LIBERTY.

The Town Council of Edinburgh and the liberal association of that city presented ad Mr. Gladstone, on route to the

lresses of welcome to ihe 30th alt., while he was ev Corn Exchange, where a meeting wae held. The Exchange was thronged with people, and the greatest enthusiasm — prevailed. The hall, which had been lavishly decor- ited in Mr. Gladstone’s honor, was densely

packed. Itis estimared that 5,000 persons were in the assemblage. Members of the House of Lords. and the House of Commons avd wfluential officials

were on the platform. Mr. Gladstone mad a speech which lasted 100 minutes. He recounted the points in the Franchise bill which had been conceded to Tory ideas in order to avert a conflict, laying particular stress upon the practical concession that the bill should not go into operation until! 1886, in order to allow the passage of a Redistribution Bill. Mv. Gladstone con- tended that the subject of complete elec- toral reform involved too many questions to be contained in one measure. The Gov- ernment had the tixed purpose of passing the Franchise Bili before bringing forward a Redistribution Bill. He hoped the House of Lords would Msten io reason and end th: conflict, He was reluctant toeuter upon the question of reform in the Honse of Lords antil it was found to be absolutely neces- sary. The Franchise bil sufficed to engross his whole attention. He was not averse to the admixture of hereditary prinapie in the constitution, but those placing it in direct conflict with the elected Chambe: were its worse enemies: He strongly denied the right of the House of Lords to decide when to appeal to the country. The adinittance of such a principle was treasou to British liberty. He would rather abandon his share in the Franchise bill and with it his share in political life than to sanction snch an innovation. A vote of confidence closed the proceedings, which were most eathustiastic.

Horses Flying Through the Air.

SOME OF THE PECULIARITIES OF

PORNADO IN bAROTA,

THE RECENT

Peculiarities of the recent tornado in Dakota on the 27th ult., are coming in. Twelve miles nertheast of Huron a map named Briggs had thirty-two head of cattle kiiled by being blown into the James River and drowned, or thrown on the ground and crushed. He had six horses killed in the same way. Eleven hundred bushels of threshed vats in his granary were all {swept away. His wife is a well-known buttermaker for the Huron market. The last three months she &n@ a servant packed all the butter they made in crocks,and stored it in the cellar, several hundred pounds in all. they went into the cellar and crouched an the northeast corner of it, the direction from which the tornado was coming. It carried away and destroyed the house, scooped up every crock of butter and earried it away and it cannot be found. The women were unhurt. William Felkey had two horses and acolt in his stable. The stable, horses and colt are yet to be heard from. Myron Kinney had two har- nessed horses at his stable. The horses were seen to go up in the air and to come down a long distance away. About two hours afterward’ they walked back bome with all the harness off except the collars.

The Rev. George A. Cressey lives a mile from the business centre of Huron. The tornado that struck near here was in plain sight from his house, a mile distant. He says no wind was stircing outside of the storm belt, and there were no other clouds in the sky. At times, two or three tornado clouds werein view. All had a spiral motion, and looked exaetly like an ordinary tin funnel. The cloud gradually arose and fell, going southeasterly, While in sight there appeared tobe a double funnel, the outer one black and the inner one white. When the lower end touched the ground, everything in its track was destroyed.

Long-Lived Authors.

The activity aud vigor of Dr. Holmes, who reeently celebrated his seventy-fitth birthday, suggest that literary pursuits are favorable to longevity. There is an idea that literary genius is too wearing to staud the teat cf a protracted existence. and the death of Keats at twenty-six and of Byron at thirty-six are cited to show that peetic sentiment and passion shorten the lives they brighten. Exceptional cases are re- ferred to as typical, and examples of a con- trary character are ignored. But the assumption that poets die young is cer- tainly not sustained by the experience of other of our most prominent living bards any more than it was by that of Byrant, who lived to be 83, of Longfellow, he reached 70, of Dana, who passed away at 92. In England the chief living poets have attained a goed old age, for both Browning and Tennyson are past the limit assigned by the Psalmist as the term of man’s life, the former being 72, and the latter 76. In France, Victor Hugo, who has gone through & most exciting intellectual experience, is 84. Of living historians, our own Bancroft is 84, Froude is 66 and the illustrious von Rauke is 89

Glancing at the past, it is found that many authors of the highest eminence have been longlived. Samuel Johnson reached 77, Milton 66, Sydney Smith held on tll

74. Voltaire attained 84. and Thomas Hobbs 91. The sensitive Samuel Rogers

whose life was that of an invilid till 50, reached the great age of 92; and Fonten- ello who was so reputed to have more brains than heart, is believed to have sur- Ege 100. Philosophers Fa prover- |

y tony lived, and this as§umption is ined by the example of Humboldt, who did not die till he was 90 ; of Go: the, who like bis frfend the poet Wieland,

in reached 80; and of Eni¢rson, who died

at 79. .Tho great scientists have also had alony hold on life, as was shown by Newton at 85 and Faraday at 87. Of female authors, Mrs. Barbauld and Miss Kdgeworth lived till 82; Medame d’Arblay and Hanpah More reached 82; Horace Walpole’s friend, Miss Berry, attained the wwe of 90; Mrs. Somerville survived till 92, and Mrs. Careline Hershel till 98, . Thus | the brain-workers of literature have their share of human longevity, and, as authors are lees exposed than formerly to the orivations and trials incident to an uncul- tivated state of society, there seems to be no reason why they should not be benefitted by the improvements which tend to increase he average length of human _life.—Adver-
