life, became mixed up more or less with public mev, and was drawn iuto the

press. So I became a journalist and a journalist I have remained. (Ap- plausey I do net accuse or complain of my @estiny. It is perfectly true ibat

the works of a journalist are epbemeral ; they go ie the nether world of o d files afd areforgotten. But dees not the same fate befall. a good many books? Look at the book ‘Bhelves of any great library. What a necropolis of the immortal is there! There, amidst cobwebs which are never disturbed, sleep the great mast- ers, exponents of the civil law who were once as gods for their wisdom. There sleep the authors of many a system of phil- osephy which now has no disciples. There sleep the anthers of many a system of sci- cuce which has been superseded a hundred times by the aid of modern thought. The fect is, ghat to be immertal you must not only have an undying genius but an undy-/ ing subject. (Applause).

Hobbs; or of Locke, or of ayy other great writer, what are they but the current thought of the time worked up into ! a permanent shape? And it is we who make the current thought of our time. Writing an editorial is, as you know, not the easiest matter in the world—(hear)—, but there are many who think they can de it until they try (Loud laughter.) The writer of an editorial is not preducing an immortal werk. He is trying to produce a distinct effect at the time, and to do that he must have a certain art. He must give his work a certain unity, form and finish, and although he cannot bring in any guan- tity of learning and information without appearing pedantic, yet all he has read and knows will work in the way of rich- ness and illustration, and will lend to the superiority of its productions. I recollect sitting at table in London beside the editor of a leading journal. He said :—‘‘ I am in distress: 1 have lost one of my regular writers.” I did not know about journalism at the time, so I remarked :—I suppose you will have to get another.” Get another! I will have to ‘get three, and I will be surprised if at the end of a year one of these three writers does as well as the writer I have lost.”

The losses}of life from Canadian sea- going vessels during the year 1880 amount- ed to 115 persons, which is not large .con- sidering that fully 100,000 tons vi Cana- dian shipping is constantly at sea, manned hy at least 40,000 sailors. Of these lives lost only 18 were lost in Canadian waters, a fact which speaks volumes for the compar- ative safety ef our seaboard, which is now lighted as well as any part of the werld. Only 7 lives were lost in the Bay of Fundy during the year. The loss of life in the inland waters of Canada presents a disa- greeable contrast to this state of affairs. The total Canadian tonnage afloat on the Great Lakes does not exceed 200,000 tons, yet the total logs of life last year was 46, an enormous aggregate considering the ton nage and number of menemployed. When it is considered that these veseels only nav- igate the Lakes for half the year, we are forced to the conclusion that the navigation of the Canadian Lakes is four times as dargerons as the navigaticn of the ocean, with its storms, hurricanes and perils of all kinds. The most dangerous of the Lakes appears to be Ontari», in which no loss than thirty-two lives were lost in Canadian vessels last year. This is nearly five times as many as were lost in the Bay of Fundy, altheugh itis safe to say that the iatier carries five times es much Canadian tonnage as Lake Ontario, and notwithstanding the facet that it is navigated in winter as well as in summer It may ke that the vessels on the lakes are not sv stoutly huilt as they ought to be, or that their models are defective, or both causes may contribute to the singular re- enit which thus presents itself. The mat- ier is one wel! worthy of the attention of those interested in Lake Navigitien.

The Glasgow Herald says it is in cou- secuence of the advice of Sir William Jeuner and Dr. Hlermanu Webster that her Royal Highness the Princess Louise is compelled reluctantly to postpone her departure from England to Canada.

An article in ‘* Blackwood’s Magazine ” en the late Earl of Beaconsfield closes with these words ;: ‘‘ Exactly a year elapsed from Lord Beacensfield’s resignation to his death. He died on the anniversary of his deliver- ing up the seals of office to the Queen. The characteristic cheerfulness with which he bore the reverse was equalled only by the eonfident silence with which he #n- dured al’ the attacks upon his policy during its progress and during the election. He no dceubt felt that he was domg a durable work and that he wovld hand down to _ posterity a monu- mentum ere yperennius of which ‘no eloguence could impair the value, and which no eloquence was needed to defend. During that yecr his personal position has been stronger than ever, the devotion of his followers completely sustained, the admiration of his countrymen and of for- eign nations undiminished. It is impos- sible that any man should bequeath to the notice of posterity stronger proof of thu es- timatioh in which he was held by his con- temporaries or of the ascendancy which he exercised over them. Histery will judge for itself the character of his aims and policy; but among the many il- lustrious names of statesmen that crowd its pages, that of Benjamin Disraeli, Parl of Beaconsfield, will be overshadowed by none in the splendour of his devotion to the honer and interests of his country.

St. Petersburg is again suffering from a reign of terror due to the machinations of the Nihilists. Numerous arrestS have been made, among these seized _ being several oflicers of the army and navy, about whose loyalty there has hitherto been no question. Even the very Im- perial Guard is mistrusted. In conse- quence of this state of things the corona- tion of the Emperor has been postponed ; in tact, the Czar seems to be in no mood for festivities. He is reported to be completely broken down from dread of the Nihilists, and is apprehensive of a civil war, aud the overthrow of his dynasty.

The cable aad

iness is bocmng. An applicatiou has been filed at Washiagton for permission to land two new cables, one from England and one for France. Of course the new lines are to be inde- pendeut—until the appiication is granted, when no one will be surprised at their being swallowed up by the monopoly monster.
