Hditorial Jottings. | LoNnpoN must be quite a naughty place |

if the following statistics be true. It! appears from the police reports that the | Great City bas 30,000 regular thieves ; 50,000 ‘habitual gin drinkers ; and | 50,000 persons liviug in systematic de-! Out of ‘ts large pop-| | ulation Londen has sot more than} 200,000 regular attendants at any place | of worship. What a splendid chance for | some of our Casadian Missionaries ?

—Advertising pays. A single company in Hull, G. B., posted circulars weighing 20 tons. These circulars were distributed by the Post Office without any confusion or delay iu forty-eight hours. The despatch neces- sitated the employment of seven extra railway cars. The cost for postage alone was $11,700.

—Titles of honor have great power in the eyes of the people. A man of note is known nowadays by the alphabetical | adjunct te his same. In the eyes of the knowing ones, the love of Stars and Garters appears somewhat foppish. Macaulay could write of Hampden, ‘Whose plain addition of Mr. has, to our ears, a more majestic sound than the proudest of Feudal Titles.” A proud list certainly is that which includes the plain Mr. of Mr. Pym, Mr. Addison, Mr. Burke, Mr. Fox, Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Canning, aud Mr. Gladstone. As an instance of how these titles are regarded by the knowing ones, the following story is told of William IV. which has the merit of being anthentic. On succeeding to the throne, the sailor King, was much gratified to find how many old naval officers remembered His Majesty and

{

trusted His Majesty liad not forgoiten | them. The King frankly avowed at a!

dinner party, that one officer was always pestering him. ‘However’, His Majesty coutinues, “ I got rid of him at last; I made hima Knight.” “ And served him right too” exclaimed one of the - guests. Even the presence of the Sovereign could not prevent the outburst of laughtef that followed. The satirist Swift, described the thing both wittily and succinctly, when he told the werld how the King of Liliput decorated with blue, red, acd green threads, those of his courtiers who could jump the highest.

—The cultured Germans have much to show for the time they spend in their iutellectual pursuits. The astonishing extent of the knewledge possessed by these people is the wonder of the world. A glimpse of how that culture is obtained may be seen from the following: A Ger- man gets up, winter and sammer, at five o’clock, a.m. He works four hours betore breakfast, sometimes smoking all the time. After breakfast he returns to his work for six hours; dines without hurrying himself; and before going to bed works four hours more. This is how it happened that Germany gave the world Kant, Geothe, and many of its master thinkers.

—There is no more formidable fee to the steady reader than social intercourse. Separution is essential to sound reading and thinking, yet this separation should not lead us to be discourteous and selfish. In exchange for the varied pleaanres of social life, the rcader receives the pleas- urable company of the greatest and noblest of all times. He summons be- fore him the wisest, the wittiest, the tenderest, the bravest, and the purest characters that"have adorned the world. A generation that spends from four to six hours daily in social chat can have but little time for useful reading. Every- one who aspires to know something of what is good in our janguage, ought to ispend at least two uninterrupted hours | daily oyer standard works. We knew of one person who complained that he had not time to cut this menth’s maga- zines before those of the next month ap- peared. On ebservation and on cross- examination we found out that our young friend had spent po less than six hours

for three consecutive days in so- cial intercourse. This time would have been amply sufficient for

reading his magazines, Two hours a

sheep daily driven through the streets of our large cities, and no deubt it will cause some thoaghis to arise respecting the mismanagement of sheep intended for ithe butcher. Indeed, it seems to au ob- server as if the farmers had selected the inferior kinds purposely for market, with ‘the intention of withholding the best for ibreeding purposes. This is true (says a correspoudeut of the Philadelphian | Record) to a certain extent, but the sheep that are intended for market could be ‘much better if there was the distinction drawn, that is well knowa, between sheep that produce.wool and those that furnish us with mugton

Among the priacipal .breeds that are noted for | produciag long wool and large /carcases, are the Cotsmolds, and our farmers have not been slow in resorting to them in order to clevage, the standard of the common flock ; “bat; strauge to say, the farmers seem to revert, to their old habit of. exchaugiug rams instead of using more Cotswold blood. Why is The reason is that iu order to keep the Cotswold up to the degree to which it has been develop- ed, the richest pastures are necessary,

und our farmers desire sheep. that wall ”

gather up and subsist on herbage. and grasses that would otherwise be useless without them. Those who make Cots- wolds a speciality adhere to all the con- ditions necessary to make them perfect, and such breeders find them profitable, both for wool aad mutton.

There are also several other breeds of good. mutton sheep, among them the Shropshire down, Hampshire down, Oxford down, &c.; but the Southdown, for a first cress, suits our common flocks better than the others. The term ‘‘ down,” as an addition to the name of the breed, generally signifies that they beloug more to the mutton class than those producing wool, but yet these breeds are good wool producers like wise. We have been so eager to breed for large size that we have overlooked quality to a certain extent, although we will gain size also in the cross with the natives. The farmer who sends & flock to market possessiug uniformly the dark face and legs of the Southdowns will be so encouraged with the quick sale aud higher prices that he will continue the experiment. Southdowa rams are not as expensive as the Cotswolds; aad the amount expended im the purchase of one will be a good paying investment, for the reason that they are better adapted to most farms and pastures than Cotswolds, and not only produces the best mutton, but also adds greatly to the weight of the fleeces, which, though shorter taan those from the Cotswolds, and coarser than those from the Merinoes, are far superior in length, texture. and quality when compared with those from natives.

—**Dare to be ignorant of many things” said a great thinker, and the commo seuse wisdom of that advice is seen whe! we remember that we caunot read more than about 1,550 books in 40 or years. No less than 25,000 books appear yearly ; there are 1,100,000 books in the British Museum, and about 3,000,000 velumes in the Bibilo-theque Nationale of Paris. This enormous number will make readers lose all feeling of shame at confessing themselves ignorant of mauy books; and will also check them from expressing surprise at the deficiencies of others.
