Scotland’s Bagpipes.

It is not generally known that the bag- pipes are not the old national instrument Up to the sixteenth cen-

of Scotland. tnry the harp was the national instru- ment of both Iievland and Scotland, and the national melodies of both countries were not dissimilar. Musical ears will notice that these melodies, reduced to their simplest expressious, abound in thirds, fifths and octaves ; and that these intervals are the peculiar concordant ones for the ancient harp form. How the bagpipes superseded the harp in Scotland as always been considered a mystery, aud we should feel obliged if Vich Dhomauil Nan Ord could elucidate this interesting question of Scotch history. Some critics trace the introduction of the bagpipes into Scotland to the French influence of Mary Queen of Scots. It was abent the close of the sixteenth century when the harp went out, and bagpipes eutranced tie Scotch ear. The The Queeu of Scots attempted in many inutauces to graft on Scotland various French customs. At the period of her sojourn in Frauce, the French bagpipes, or cornemuse, were fashionable, and

j |

probably affected her not over delicate) When she left France she probably |

eur. brought over, among her other musical ‘vagaries, the cornemuse, which at once became popular and now wields such a peculiar power over these loyal people.

Tuer N. P. m San Francisco.—One of the results of the National Policy in

the largest sugar refinery in the world. The buildings, which will be of brick, will occupy seven and _ three-quarter blocks of land. The main building will be tea stories in height and in the tower portions will attain a height of thirteen stories. Its length will be 400 feet by an average width of 150. On the hill oyerlookiog the refinery, a reservoir capable of holding 7,000,000 galions of fresh water has been built. It is expected that the new refinery will be completed and in ruuning order by the Ist of February next, in time for the next crop of sugar. pe —Lagg Mh pin

Eyery now and then, we get from our Grit contemporaries th« best answers to their arguments of the last session against the Syudicate bargain. Then, it will be remembered the land was placed at al] prices from $2 50 to $5.00 an acre, aud in this way the amcunt given to the Company was pronounced extravagant. The Toronto Globe, discussing the South- western railway scheme, and referring to the laud grant‘says ‘ it will cost the company $1 an acre cash ; it is worth to- day at least $2 an ocre.” Now these lands, by their greater proximity to the capital of the Northwest, are certainly worth more on an average than the lands granted to the Syudicate, aud yet they are pronounced by the Globe as worth ouly two dollars an acre, as an asset for the buildivg of a railway.

OATS. :

Oats in the English maiket continue very dull with a slower sale, and 18s. 98. and 19s. is all that buyers offer Sellere are holding out for 19s 3d., but have very little hopes of realizing that figure.

POTATOES.

Old patatoes have no quotable price in the United States; in fact they have almost gone out of the market. Phere has been a liberal supply of new Southern po- tatoes in the Boston and New York markets, and these are eclling at $2 and $2 50 per barrel in the first named place.

MACKERRL,

The receipts of mackerel in Bosten have been very large of late. Sales of Shore No. 3 have been made at from $8.25 to $3.50, Those sold in fishermen’s order have brought $2 to $2.50 per barrel. These prices have induced large purchases in Bos- ton, and, as a consequence, all receipts {have moved off very freely, and dealers | have used them for the southern market, | where there is always a demand for cheap fish. This will have the effect to keep. | the Boston market clear, and a better state ‘for Prince Edward Island and other Pro- vincial fish.

CODFISH. A Boston circular of the 6th inst., states \that codfish of all kinds are dull, and

prices have dropped off 25 to 37 certs per quintal.

EGGS.

On the 9th, there was @ good demand for fresh laid stock in the Boston market, and prices there were firmer. Sales of Choice Eastern and Northern have been made at 17 and 17$ cents, and Prince Edward Island stock, commanded 164 cents.

FLOUR.

The Galt, Ont., Circular which we usually quote says ;— The holidays that have inire- vened since the lost advice on the Ist, both in Canada and the United States in con- ‘Junction with the scheck created by the attempted assassination of the President, -have hada disturbing affcet upen general business. It is now conceded on*ail sides that stocks of bresdstuffs are unusually light, and ail will be fully required for home consumption ; in ¢onsequeace a quiet trade will move until the new crops move at firm prices that cannot be effected by outside markets until in an upward diree- tion. Regarding flour the circular says that

although the feeling is easier holders will make no concessions, and no change «from last week's figures can be quoted. The Montreal Flour Market wes dull on the 9th, with prices about steady. Quotations as follows :—

| PORK, ' The Montreal Gazette of the 11th says:— Western previsions were again strong, and the recent fluctuations in the prices of both pork and lard indicate disturbances of a ; speculative character, which up to the pres- ‘ent appear to faver the ‘‘ bull” element. Pork in Chicago closed steady for August at $17.10, but strong and 73c up on September option. Lard was 10¢ per 100 Ibs. higher, closing at $11 56 August,$11.224 September. In the Montreal market we hear that lard is getting eomewhat searce, and prices have a steadier tone. Sales of Canada lard during the past few days amounting ‘to about 1,000 pails, are reported at Ic. to 14$c. per lb., while Fairbanks’ brand has bronght higher figures. There has been a little better enquiry for heavy mess pork, and one or two round lots have been placed at within range ef quotations. A fair de- mand has also been experienced for smoked hams, sales being reported at 13c to 134c. per tb for uncovered.

An Extraordinary Shot.

/SOORING A BULL’S-EYE THROUGH A MAN’S BODY.

An unfortunate mishap occurred yester- day afternoon at the new ranges of the | Victoria Rifle Club, between here and the , Half-way House, Dundas Read. Members of the Ciub were engaged in practice at the 1000 yard range, and George Margetts was firing at the target when, unhappily, the ; marker, George Jenkins, stepped in frent iand received the bullet, which passed through his bedy and, strange as it may appear, struck the bull’s eye, which was bespattered with blood. A reporter of the Times soon after the occurrence investigated the facts and ascertained that it has been the practice of the marker at the ranges to wave a red flag when he wishes to repaint the target after a number of shots have been fired, or prior to examining it after the marksmen are through firing. But in this instance Jenkins neglected to wave his flag and exposed himself with the result stated. The unfortunate man was carried to the residence of Mr. McNab (located near the ranges), where he was attend.d by Drs. Griffin and Rosebrugh. Jenkins passed the night very favorably, and to- day Dr. Griffin has great hopes that he will recover. The bullet was one of Remivgton’s 550 grains, and entered at the back below the shoulder blade, passing ont about an inch below the left nipple. After locking where the ball had struck the target, and seeing that it was a bull’s eye, Jenkins says he felt a stinging pain as if a needle had gene threugh him. He tien yelled to the parties at the range for the ourpose of letting them know that he hai been struck, and ran duwn the ranges 240 or 200. yards, and as several of the marks- men approached him he fellover. He bled bunt little from the wound, and there has not been much internal hemorhrage. Jen- kins has performed the duty of marker at the rifle ranges for nearly three years, and has always been considered a very cautious

man. — Hamilton (Canada) Times 9th,
