THE BALLOT.

Tue Pioneer is advocating “ the ballot ’ in Provincial elections. We begin to think’ that the Pioneer may be right. If we had had the ballot in the recent contest the employes of the Government and their relatives to the fourth and fifth generation, together with the mortagors ofall the Lib- eral mortagees,might not have considered it absolutely necessary to vote for Mr. Peters’ candidates; and the country would probably have had a decided change of adm inistra- tion. Atany rate,Mr. Peters will, now that he is in by the aid of the Dominion Government, consider it his duty to accommodate the Provincial election law to the D»minion Governoment’s plan of basing the franchise of Canada upon the Provincial lists. Some simpler and expensive plan of registration thaa that selected by the Davies Administra- tion must, however, be adupted.

What is to be said of the Eng- lish people, who during these men. vrabie days were tbe witnesses of this grand and imoressiye spectacle, but that it is a strong people, having its faulte, but whose qualities cannot be denied.”

Sir Wilfrid bas apparently been “ fixed ” by the British and Queen Victoria. The qu.. .ion is ** will he stay fixed ? ”

A CLERGYMAN’S LIFE.

Has More Werries than the Public are Aware of—Nervous Exhaustion the Frequent Outcome.

There is more worry connected with the routine lite of the average clergyman that most people imagine. His duties are multifarious, and it is little wonder thet he frequently becomes the victim of nervous exhaustion, insomnia, etc. In this con- dition Dr, Williams’ Pin’ Pills act more speedily upon the nervous svstem than any other medicine, and promptly restore the user to a normal state of health. Rev Wm Clarke, a rising voung Methodist minister stauoned at Orono Ont., says -— I have derived a great benefit from the ure of De. Wiilinme’ Pink Pill*. I found that when } attemped to study I wonld become drowsy and could not apply myself to my work. My digestion was very bad, aud my nervour system seemed to be out of gear. At first [ paid but very little attention to the matter, but found myself growing

worse. At this time I Wis stationed at Fort Stewart, Ont., and was boarding at the home of

a storekeeper, who advised me to tury Dr. William’ Pink Pills. I decided todo so, and thanks to thie medicire, I am again restored to good health. Under these circumstances I feel it my duty to say a good word for Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.”

The Gravitation Theory.

In one of his lectures before the Low- ell institute, Boston, recently Professor G. F. Wright combated the supposition that the conclusions of modern physical ecience are free from difficuities and clear of all doubt. Instead of such be- ing the case science, he declares, is lead- ing deeper and deeper into mysteries and substituting instead of single mys- teries »n ever increasing multitude for each oty . He instanced in illustration the New;@nian theory of gravitation as ap gheeeenee to this day unex- plained, a\ jea_that if bodies act up- on each other % a distance without any intervening medium then a thing can act where it is not, which is an absurd- ity, while, on the other hand, if there is a material medium filling all space, and a gravity is transmitted through that by a push rather than by a pull, then the transmission ought to occupy some appreciable time, but this it does not do, and at any rate, if ite action is not absolutely instantaneous, its veloci- ty raust be at least fifty million times greater than that of light. Moreover, every effort to represent gravitation as the result of a push from behind in- volves absurdities of various kinds. In fact, Newton’s final conclusion was that the philosophy of gravitatiou is abso- lutely inconceivabie and its action para- doxical.

COX AND HOWELLS.

The Congressman’s Sunset Story Erro- meously Ascribed to the Novelist.

The following story was published in a New York paper:

*“*When William Dean Howells, our pet- ted novelist, was earning small wages on a Cincinnati paper, he was sent to Colum- bus to report the proceedings of the legis- lature of Ohio, which at that particular time were of a riotous nature. Wandering oif to the Olentangy at noon recess, he be- came enamored of the seenery and re- mained there until nearly sunset, when the splendor of the heavens entranced him. Never before had he seen sucha sunset in Ohio. The legislature and ite doings were forgotten, and in the delirium ef rapture he rhapsodized three or four . colusnns about the glories of the western evening sky. On the following morning, while the rest of the Cincinnati papers had pages about the riots in the halls of legis- lation, Howells’ paper led off with his de- scription of a sunset! If I am not in er- ror, be retired from active journalism that very day.’’

The story i well told and lacks only the one element of truth. In other words, the incident never ovourred. Howells was the Columbus correspondent of the old Cincinnati Gazette in 1856, and in 1859 became news editor of the Ohio State Journal. The story of the sunset is evi- dently grounded on an incident which happened in the career of 8. S. Cox, while he was editor of the old Ohio Statesman, at Columbus, in 1854.

Late one afternoon a summer thunder- storm swept over the city, and as the storm clouds broke away from the west a magnificent sunset followed. Cox watched its splendor and dasbed off a brilliant de- scription thereof, which appeared in the next morning's Statesman. It attracted great attention and gave its author his sobriquet of ‘‘ Hunset Cox,’’ which he re- tained through life. Thousands of people have read the witty speeches of his con- gressional career without knowing that his first literary step which attracted popu- lar notice was a third of a column of fine descriptive writing on a Columbus sunset. —Toledo Blade.

Where the Pinch Came.

It is odd how in misfortune some trivtal and absolutely unimportant detail will cause actual annoyanee! ‘‘When we lost our money,’’ said a plucky woman, whose courage and cheerfulness in her trouble had excited every one’s admiration, ‘‘I re- mem ber that the first thing that actually broke me down and made me lose my tem- per was the want of brown paper and twine to do uj) a package. In the days of our abundance so many packages and boxes came t) the house, and there was yoch an accurnulation of both, for I had the old fashioned way of keeping good pa- per and string, that when one day I want- ed to do up some important parcel and could not find either, it made me realize that the days of plenty were over as noth- ing else had done. It seems absurd to say so, but it was really my first sense of acute deprivation.”’

‘My first realization of poverty came with hanging on toa strap ina crowded street oar,’’ remarked another woman, who had always kept her carriage.

‘And mine,’’ said another reduced gen- tlewoman, ‘‘was when the tradesmen in- sisted upon having their bills paid. I had always put them in the firewhen I was rich.’—New York Commercial.
