The Local Governments.
The Torcnto Mei! remarks :
Only a very little while ago and there was net a Provincial Government in the Dominion whieh was not working openly or sec:etly tor the MeKenzie Cabinet. The Elliott Govern- ment in British Columbia was its slave ; the Manitoba Government was at least friendly ; the Ontario Government was openly and shamelessly demonstrative ; the New Bruns- wick Government was on the border line of danger; the Quebee Government was_ the merest creature and abject slave ; the Nova
Scotia Government was laboring openly it its;
behalf ; and the same could be said of the Premier of Prince Edward Island and a por- tion of his Cabinet. ‘To-day matters do not atand as they did. ‘The P. E. I, Government is broken up and is not unlikely to fall into the hands of the Conservatives ; the old Nova Scotia Grit Government is routed horse, foot, and artillery; the Quebec Government is hamstrung; the Cntario Government. still lives, but its reign will be short ; the Manitoba CGevernment remains as it was, ant will no doubt be disposed to work amicably with the Federal Government ; while the British Col- umbia Government is led by a staunch Con- servative, Mr. Walkem. Wonderful indeed have been the political revolutions in Canada within a few months..largely within a few weeks,

Our New Governor General.
An extra edition of the Conada Gazette contains the following despatch in_ refer- ence to our new Governor General, the Marquis of Lorne :—
DowntIne Street, Aug 28, 1873.
My Lord,—You have already learnt from my telegram of the 29th of July that the Queen has been graciously pleased to nomi- nate the Marquis of Lorne to succeed your Lordship as Governor General of the Do- minion of Canada.
The Marquis of Lorne wishes to reach Canada in the beginning of November, and although I cannot expect that you will be able to remain in Canada so late in the year, I trust that you will be able to con- tinne to administer the Government to within as short a period of his arrival as may be consistent with your own con- venience.
I am glad to learn that in any case your Lordship will be able to remain until after the approaching Parliamentary Elections.
[ have, &c., M. E. Hicxs-Beacu. Governor General, the Right Honorable, the Earl of Durrerix, K. P., G. C. M. G., K. C. B.

Mr. Gladstone Drawn Out.
In answer to a challenge to state his Eastern policy in opposition to that of the Government, Mr. Gladstone has written the following letter, which is published in London : ‘‘I hold that at the least on three separate occasions I have come up to, and even perhaps gone largely beyond, what my position justified in indicating an alter- native policy on the Eastern question :— In my speech at Blackheath on September 8th, 1876, when J showed not only the political but the military basis ; second, after the Conference of Constantinople I urged enforcement of its terms by Europe ; third, before the Congress I set out, I think, distinctly enough, the lines of action on all the leading heads in two articles in the Nineteenth Century, called ‘The Peace to Come,’ and ‘The Paths of Honor and Shame.” I must admit that the policy of the Government has singularly aggravated the complications, and that these, though not the immediate risks, are now greater than ever, while some of the proceedings, such as the negotiations for the Anglo- Turkish Convention, are covered with dark- ness. It may be practicable, notwithstand- ing all blunders, to advise on every move at a game of chess, because all parties have equal know} , but in this case there is a great deal of Knowledge that [am not in possession of. Yet there are positive pro- positions even at the present juncture which I could urge. Bat how could I know whether they are now an alternate policy, as I have no means of knowing what the Government are doing from hour to hour.”

Tue St. Jolin ‘‘News” publishes a list of the exhibits sent from the Provinces to the Paris Exhibition. would appear that nothing from this Pro- vince has been awarded, even a ‘ honor- able mention.” This is incorrect. Our enterprising fellow-townsman, Mr. John McKeazie, Merchant Tailor, has been no- tified through the Canadian Comunissioner that his suit of clothes sent, have been awarded an honorable mention. We hope such of our contemporaries as have copied the item from the ‘‘ News” will make the correction. The following is the letter re ceived by Mr. McKenzie :—

that you have been awarded an honorable |

| A Diary of the Czar.
Under the title of the ‘Diary of the Czar’s Residence on the Danube in 1877," Count Sollohoub has just published at St. Petersburg the first important contribution to the literature of the late war, Although the journal is not the actual Wo ic of the Emperor Alexauder himself, it faithfully records his feelings diing the most event- ful period of the Turkish campaign, and is written by one whose constant personal at- tendance upon His Majesty enabled him to obtain inspiration for many of Its pages. The volume, which embraces the period be- tween the 15th of July and the 16th of De- cember, is divided into eight chapters, whose headings—''sarevitza, Pavlo, Biela, Corni Studen, Tehaoush-Makala, Radonit- za, Corni Studen again, and Poradim —suf- ficiently indicate the scope of the work. In the early part of the diary particular stress is laid upon an interview which General Tolstoi had with the Czar directly after the
capture of Nikepol, in which the vanquish-
er of Hassan Pasha insisted vehemently on the necessity of immediately occupying Plevna. The presentiment upen the mind to Tolstoi that this strat. eyical point would become the thorn in the side of the army was so vivid that after leaving the Czar’s pavilion he went about the camp repeating to all the friends he met the warning, ‘‘ Prenez garde a Plevna.” The counsel was, as is well known, disre- garded by the self-opinionated subordi- nates of General Nekopoit-chinsky, and the ‘‘mauuais quart dheure” ensued, result- ing, after the first battle of Plevna, in the Emperor passing twenty-eight days in a miserable, stiflipg tent, without a single night of unbroken slumber. The interest of Count Sollahonb’s volume mainly rests with the personal narrative he gives the Emperor’s emotions during these eventful days, and one can well understand, after reading the chapters devoted to them, the aversion which the emancipater must have entertained to his Empire becoming involv- ed in asecond and larger struggle. Asa contribution to military history, the diary is of no particular value. Its importance arises from the light which the author sheds upon the inner life of the Emperor of Rus- sia, and the moral effect which his presence the army during the Plevna part of the Turkish war.— Observer. ~~ +: athe ++ o>
Tne Lancet says:—‘*The awful catas- trophe on the Thames, by which, in a few minutes, 500 or 600 persons were drowned within sight of all the appliances by which life is usually saved, impresses us more than ever with the importance of introducing swimming into the ordinary education of The growing love of excursions and adventures by land and sea—in themselves so healthy and commend- able—suggests the wisdom of this course. We have but to visit some of the coast towns or seaports where bathing and swim- ming are cultivated almost as fine arts— conspicuously, perhaps, South Shields, at the mouth of the Tyne—to see how, in such accidents as those of Tuesday, persons might be made comparatively independent of all extraneous aid, and accomplish their own deliverance.”

Tas Chief Justice of Newfoundland took his departure lately for England, nominally on jJeave of absence, but the understanding is that he is toretire on a pension, and that his successor will be Sir Frederick Carter, our late Premier. Sir Hugh Hoyles has rendered great service to the colony by his zealous and able discharge of the duties of his high office, and he retires carrying with him universal respect and esteem.

What a truly beautiful world we live in. Nature gives us grandeur of mountains glens and oceans, and thousands of means for enjoyment. We can desire no better when in perfect health ; but how often do the majority of people feel like giving it up disheartened, discouraged and worried out with disease, when there is no occasion for this feeling, as every sufferer can easily ob- tain satisfactory proof that Green’s August Flower will make them as free from disease as when born. Dyspepsia and Liver Com- plaint are the direct cause of seventy-five per cent. of such maladies as Biliousness, Indigestion, Sick Headache, Costiveness, Nervous Prostration, Dizziness of the Head, Palpitation of the Heart, and other distress- ing symptoms. Three doses of August Flower will prove its wonderful effect
