Harper's Weekly remarks that it is treason to a great cause when its leader does not serve it by his private character as well as by his public efforts.

It is reported that the crops of wheat and oats in Outario are not turning out as well as was anticipated. The yield of spring wheat is now put at 2,000,000 bushels lees than the former estimate, and

of oats at 4,000,000 bushels less. This re- duces the total estimate from 9,600,000 bushels to 7,600,000 bushels in spring

wheat, and of oats from 56,000,090 bushels to 52,000,000 bushels. Both of these are under the average for nine years past, though in each of them the acreage was considerably in excess of the average, —Uur correspondent * Citizen” seems to have perfect faith in the Legislature.

—Messrs. Shakespeare and Baker, of British Columbia, who were accused in the Tarte exposures of being a brace of pirates, deny that they ever received or demanded movey, as was asserted, in con- nection with anything they did for the contractors of the Esquimsault graving dock. Mr. Perley, engineer of the Public Works Department, also formally denies that in the discharge of his duties he gave any information calculated to benetit the alleged conspirators. Sir Hector Lange- vin's denial ef guilt has already been noted. The Montreal Gazette remarks that until a parliamentary enquiry brings cut the truth, it seems more reasonable to accept the statements of those gentlemen than the allegations uf parties who, by the fact of their making them ecknowledge their own corruptness.

Last Nights Concert.

Tere was a large attendance at the con- cert in St. James’ Hall last evening, not- withstanding the cold and disagreeable weather. The programme, as_ published, was faithfully carried out. The vocal solos, '**Anchored,” by Miss Tilly Brown, and “The Bend of the River,” by Miss Kate Ilyndman, were very well given; but the choruses by the choir did not come up to expectation The instrumental duet, “Scottish airs,’ was well played by Mrs. George Stanley and Miss Wilson; and Mr.

Irish Fown Notes.

The name of this place is somewhat mis- leading. Although there are some nobie sors of Erin in this vicinity the town is yet to be built. The town hall has, however, been erected, surrounded by the ‘‘forest primeval.” It presents a very respectable appearance and is a credit to the community. The opening of the hall took place on Monday evening, the 17th inst. On that evening the Rev. J. M McLeod deiivered a very able lecture on ‘* Alexander Duff, the first missionary of the Church of Seoiland.” The life and cbhar- acter of the man, the rise and progress of the great missionary movement were very vividly described, In the opinion of the lecturer Scotland's greatest son was Dr. Chalmer’s, the second was Dr. Duff. At the close of the lecture remarks were made by soveral persons complimenting the lecturer. The chairman, Mr. Wm. Campbell, in his enthusiasm, ex- claimed, that it wes the best lecture he had

ver heard or ever expected to hear.

Oa Friday evening, of the saine week, the people of Irish Town were favored with a lecture on **The Choice of -a Profession,” by Mr. Everett Stevenson, of New Glasgow. Mr. Stevenson is a very young man, and I presume that it was bis first appearauce upon a lecture platform. On the whole, the hum- orous element predominated in his ‘ecture. It was profusely illustrated by humorous stories which he toll very well. Some of those who epoke at the clese of the lecture took exception to some of the opinions ad- vanced by the lecturer. For example the leoturer compared the farmer and the mech- abic with the professional man, greatly—in his opinion—to the disadvantage of the latter. The opivions of the lecturer were ably de- fended by Mr. Cann, who clearly proved that the learned professions are unsciiptural, on the gounds that the professional man does earn his bread by the sweat of his brow.
