THE LAST GREAT FRAULP.

In our,l.oudon letter published on Thurs- d: ‘71an correspondent rclcrrcd to some excitement being felt by the sudden dc- partuvc lor Amcrtca ot the Scerctary of a Gas Company. who on a salary at £100 had managed to live as though he was in receiptol £40,000 per 11111111111. (1111' En- glish exchanges contain 1iner descriptions 01 his style and mode at living. but all fail to explain irom whence he obtained the means to live at so fast a rate. as the whole capital of the Gas Company would have 1101'" insuilicicnt to kccp it up as long as he did. The Allowing .hlrcrft‘rcr ol the 6111 of April. contains tho lolluwittg:-—-

It is not yet certain by what means Mr. Benjamin iliggs. who disappeared front 'l'wioltt-uhum on the 5111 01 last month, de- rived tho stints of money which he lavish. ed on a splendid establishment and in unstinted acts of munillccnco; but unless it is true. as 110 stated, that a relative had leithim a legacy oi £110,000, his only 11p- psrout means 111 subsistence was a salary uatlct £1100 per annum which he received irom tho Central Gas Company. in whose service he has been ior several years. Even a legacy of 1:90.000. handsome as it is. would not. have sutliocd for his scale 01' living. The mansion which he inhabited, and which contained thirty rooms. was littcd up in the most sumptuous styc. in his stublcs were two pair of carriages, aiao horses, and several ponies. Eight [cmqu servants, live gardha-rs, a groom. coachman. and under coachmau obeyed his ordcrc. So costly was the lilting 11p oi his establishment that when the lurui‘ tut-o was sold last week a pianoi’ovte wan tor 1.56 ulacas. (it originally cost 300), His golt watch and diamond rings were the envy ol the connoisseurs. llis weekly musical panics were graced b the most celebrated artistes; and tho 1 ow of his charity was at least cqtml to tho relincmcut 01 his tastes. At his solo expcuso he gave three concerts. the programmes 01 which are described as " marvels of artistic beauty." and devoted the proceeds to the building of new schools. it any ouc was in tliilicultlos lllr. lliggs came to his rescue To one man he gave £180; to another. who had received an injury 111 his kitchen. he gave £1100; he proscnled thu Free Church of England at Tcddington with a new or a11.at ncost of £1100; and pro- tulsctl t 10 congregation a subscription of £2000 towards a new clutrch.

All this was good enough. bttt Mr. lliggs was contemplating greater things when he took his sudden departure. 011 the morning (11 his disappearance tlmrc wore eighty men employed upon anew mansion ho was cl'octlnll. upon land for which ho was to pay £1101) per acre; and the mansion alone was to cost £510,000 sterling. Suddenly the bubble burst. ~ .._- O .——A—A< A Romance of True Love.

When these sermons ore republished in this country thcso passages are very gener- ullv omitted. In 11 sermon from the text. " These are they who separate themsel- ves," the Englist edition contains theso strong statements. They are wholly want- ing in the American edition. 11, is rcl'rcsh« ing to read the lolluwingz—

" There is not a Christian beneath tho scope of God's heaven from whom lam separated. At the Lonl‘s Table. I always invite all Christians to communion with us. 11 any man were to tell me that 1 our separate irom the Episcopalian, the Pres- byterian. or the Methodists. 1 would tell him he did not know me. 101'] love thqu them with a. pure hcurt i‘orvcutly. and 1 am not. separate from them. This hours rather hard on our strict communion llaptists. I should not like to say anything hard against them. tor they are about the best people in the world; but they really do separate themselves from the great body at Christ's people. They separate them- sclvcsiront the universal Church. They say they will not. commune with it; and if any one comes to their table who has not been baptised, they turn them away. The pulse 01 Christ is communion; and woe to the Church that. sucks to cure the ills of Christ’s Cbutch by stopping its pulse.

1 think it a sin to refuse to commune with any one who is a member of the Church at our Lord Jesus Christ.

' THE OTHER SIDE.

The following very sensible remarks on the cry for tho forcible annoxntion ot Can- uda. which we copy from 11 late issue of the Chicago Tribune. arc in iavot'ablc cou- tl'ast with tltc \vild rant indulged in by most. 01 the New York pa ms. and by :1 large number at others which ought to have had more sense and more correct idcasoi lair play and their own pt'oicsscd principles.

“11c scents to overlook the chief point in tho problem. v11... that the population at Canada are entitled. likc ourselves. and like the people 01 England. to excieiso sell govcrnmcnt. They are not. more chattels. to be sold like quadroou slavus to pay the debts oi thcir parent. At present. and tor many years, they have exercised this right as fully as. perhaps, any puoplo on earth. and as lully, at all events. as they wish.

Uhaadlcr must know that only a small proportion oi the population would now vote for annexation."

This is as sensible as it is true.

Still further the Tribune says: Assuming. as we sulcly 111:1y.lhat the consent of Canada is at present wanting. 1\lr.
