The Peace Congress. |

England has carried her first point, which | was a demand for the admission of Greece | to the Congress of the Powers now sitting | Greece is to be admitted with a ,

This is all that could rea-

Greece was not one of the signatories to the | Treaty of Paris, and therefore could scarcely claim to have a voice in any Congress for | its revision. But she had a right to de-

mand that, in matters in which her interests

were affected, she could be consulted, and

in this demand she was backed up by the

influence of England, and the result was

that Greece has been admitted. This is a

great triumph for British diplomacy, and a

proof that British influence is paramount at

the Congress. —Sf. John Telegraph.

Tariff Changes.

The Vice-Consul General of the United States in Australia is advocating certain changes in the taviff of the United States and of the colony, in ordear that the United States may control all the trade of Austra- lia. We read as follows :—

** An increase in the wool trade with the United States would result in an increase in the importation of: manufactured articles and products thence to Australia. At pres- ent nearly all American™products are sub- ject to high duties in Australia, enhancing the cost and diminishing the demand ; but the Vice-Consul thinks that a reduction of American wool duties would lead,to a rect- precal reduction of the Australian duties on manufactures, lumber, tobaeco, tinned meats, fruits, hardware, tools, and very many other articles which he mentions. Were the Australian tariff lowered on those articles, the United States could practically secure the monopoly of the trade in them of all Australia.”

2c» Crop Prospects in Great Britain.

The Mark Lane Hepress, in its review of the corn trade during the past week, says :—

‘“‘Searcely any improvement has taken place in the weather for the past week. Showers have been so frequent that the in- tervals of warmth and sunshine have been too brief to dry the saturated soil upon which the standing crops are all suffering from the continued wet and cold. With cold winds, heavy rain and occasional night frosts the cereals have made very little pro- gress of late on any soil, barleys having suffered considerably, and it is admitted on all hands that the excessive humidity of the past six weeks has seriously compromised the agricultural prospects. Until within the last few days the growing crops in Scot- land did not suffer to the same extent as in England; now, however, matters have changed for the worse. Floods have oc- curred in many of the Lowland districts, doing vast damage. In short, dry, sunny weather is wanted now more than ever throughout the kingdom if the luxuriant crops of grass and clover are to be secured in anything like good order.”’

POLITICAL NOTES.

St. John, N. B. News, a ‘‘Reform” paper :—‘‘It is in order to note that the Lieutenant Governor’s act, in dismissing a Ministry commanding a majority in the Provincial Assembly, has been constitu- tionally condemned by the Quebec people. On that point there is no room for dispute.”

The vote in the United States House of Representatives, on Monday, on the bill for the payment of the Halifax award may be regarded as conclusive that Ben Butler and his miserable associates will not be able to disgrace the nation. The New York World calls strongly upon tlie Democracy not to allow the honor of the Republic to be smirched in their hands.

The Grit leader is just now engaged in lustily whistling to keep up his own courage and that ef his supporters in the country. He professes to have great faith in the re- sult of the next election. The weaker he finds himself the louder does he whistle. The other day he was satisfied to come back with a small working majority; he is

THE WORKSHOP.

The practice of pressing on the edge of a razor in stropping soon rounds it. The pressure should be directed to the back, which should never be raised from the

the razor, strop it from point to heel ; but if you begin with the point in shaving, then strop it from heel to peint.

A cement that will resist water and a moderate degree of heat, and that will also be useful in joining small pieces of marble and alabaster, may be nko as follows :— Add a half pint skimmed milk, mix the curd with the whites of five eggs well beat- en, and sufficient powdered quickliine sifted in, with constant stirring, so as to form a paste.

Wooden taps and faucets are prevented from cracking by putting them in melted parafine and heating them there ata tem- perature of 212° Fah., when the taps are taken from the bath and cleaned from the adhering parifine by rubbing with a dry, coarse piece of cloth. ;

Lime slaked with sour milk and diluted with water till it is about the consistence of ordinary whitewash, forms an excellent coating tor woodwork, protecting the same against the weather for several years. The casien of the milk in combination with the lime forms a permanent film, which dries so quickly in warm weathor that heavy rains falling directly after it had been laid on will scarcely affect the work.

To clean soft mahogany or other porous wood serape and sandpaper in the usual manner; then take a sponge and well wet the surface, to raise the grain; then with a piece of pumice stone, free from stony par- ticles and cut the way of the fibres, rub the wood in the direction of the grain, keeping it moist with water ; let the work dry, then wet itagain, and the grain will be much smoother and will not raise so much ; repeat the process, and the surface will become perfectly smooth and the texture of the wood much hardened.

Paper-hanger’s paste is made as follows : Beat up four pounds of good white wheat flour in cold water-- enough to form a stiff batter, first sifting the flour; beat it well, to take eut all the lumps ; then add enough cold water to make it the consistence of pudding batter; add about two ounces of well pounded alum; pour boiling water, direct from the fire, gently and quickly over the batter, stirring rapidly at the same time, and when it is observed to swell and lose the white color of the flour, it is cooked and ready. This will make about three- quarters of a pail of solid paste. It should not be used while hot, but allowed to cool, when it will go further

Mr. Edmund Beckett writes to the London Tunes that ‘‘one doesn’t learn much at chureh congresses, but I did learn the value of the rule limiting speeches at the only one I ever attended. Ali the men who were worth hear- ing could say all they wanted in a quarter of an hour, and those who were not were very beneficially extinguished by the President’s bell.

The Shah of Persia was in Berlin at the time of the attempted assassination of the Emper- or, and left the castle in which he was lodged to enquire personally about his wounded host. This is how he did it :— A member of the Ger- man diplomatic service was coming down from the palace, and was stopped fora minute by the impassable crowd. Just then somebody whispered in his ear in broken French, *‘Mon- sieur ! can you give me any news ,about the Emperor? Je swis le Shahde Perse!”

At a mass meeting of members of the various Orange Lodges in Ottawa it was decided to make the anuiversary celebration this year an unusually attractive one. ‘There will be a procession of the Orangemen, Young Britons, ‘Prentice Boys, and True Blues in the fore- noon, and a picnic on the show grounds in the afternoon, at which Liberal prizes wi!l be offered for games, etc. A large number of the members of the Orders in Carleton, Russell and Ottawa counties have signified their in. tention of joining in celebration, and it will probably be the best held at the capital for
