Editorial Notes. —-Joaquin Miller seems favorably impressed with Canada. ‘‘l have been roaming, he says, indnstrious- ly up and down Canada, and as one of the general results of my observations, | am bound to bear testimony that there is | more solid happiness to the square mile | in Canada than in the United States.”| Then again he says of this country; “In| fact, this is the land of room, and is a} land to be filled up in time entirely with | people; a land of tiemendous possibili- | ties. For reasons I have not t.me to explain, I count it forty-fold more desir- able than Mexico, tow ica has set her face of late.”

—Out of a total of 970 candidates for | the Loudon University matriculation | examination, there were no less thua 126) ladies. Of these no fewer than ninety-| one, or seventy-two per cent, were suc-| cessful, while of the male candidates} only 449, or fifty-three per cent., passed | successfully. From the classified list it | appears that twenty-three of the ladies | passed in the houors division, sixty-seven in the first division, while only three fell to the second rank. These facts speak for themselves against the injustice of keeping the highest branches of edu- cation outside the reach of ladies, as has

hitherto been the case.

—The Toronto Globe is in an ecstacy of delight over a declive in the revenue of Canada; avd the Patriot is exultiug n the hope that the Local Government will suffer a deficit. But the decline proves the far seeing wisdom of Sir Leonard Tilley in retusing to ask Par- liament to make very large reductions in the rates of the tariff; aud, as for the deficit, if it does occur the people will know it was not due to extravagance on the part of the Government The people, we believe, appreciate the advan tage of having uo local taxes to pay, and they will give the Local Government credit for their endeavors towards that eud.

—The state of affairs in Kent County, New Brunswick, shows the great strergih and popularity of the Liberal- Conservative Party, and the necessity there is for party orgrnization. There are three candidates on behalf of the Liberal Conservatives, viz: Messrs. Gordon Livingston, E, B. Buckerfield and P. A. Landry; and as yet, not one Grit! If the three persist in running, and an Opposition candidate appear, even at the last moment, the iatter will, in all probability,be returned. It is to be hoped that the leading Conservatives of the Party will unite in making an arrange- ment under which but one Conservative candidate will take the field.

—Nominations have been made for a bye-election in Ward Four. In absurd mimicry of the Parliament of Canada and Great Britain, there are two parties in our City Council ; and as the opposing candidates belong to the contending parties, the citizens take little interest in the affair, Perhaps this is partly due to the fact that there will be a general election in January. Unless the “ Hose Question "—to which a correspondent calls attention—makes a disturbance, it is probable that the ‘Government can- didate’”” will be elected; for citizens generally seem to think that the govern- ing party should have a fair trial until their term is ended and their record is shown.

—The Foreign Exhibition recently opened in Boston, promises to be an un- usually successful one. On the morning of the opening, vast crowds thronged the building, and addresses were delivered by Messrs. John Adams, and J. W. Chandler, and by several foreigo Com- missioners. Speeches were given in the English, French, Japanese, Chinese and Spanish languages. The Exhibition is said to present a very fine display, goods daily arriving in large quantities, and will probably continue to do so for some time yet. Much enthusiasm is exhibited aud every effort is made to make the movement 2 success. The band of the Victoria Rifles, of Montreal, have been engaged to attend the Exhibition, and are acquitting themselves splendidly and wivoing much applause.

—The fact that Lord Coleridge finds it impossible to visit Canada, whilst visiting America, bas called down upon his unfortunaie head the wrath and sneers of the Toronto Globe That dis- tinguished judge accepted an invitation of the New York bar, and had the temerity to do so without consu'ting the Globe directorate.

e—The Secretary of the Montreal recently prepared and published a most interesting report on the Trade and Com- merce of the Dominion which have, during recent years, been so rapidly developed. Mr. Patterson deals first with the progress of Canada as a whole, and secondly with the growth of the trade of Montreal. The statistics re- garding Montreal, more especially with reference to her shipping, are indeed re- markable, but are to us of minor interest compared with those presented regarding the whole Dominion. Reference is made at the outset to the population which, between the years 1871 and 1881, has increased at the rate of 18°98 per cent. Mr. Patterson next refers to the high position Canada takes as a field for immigration. There are at present 513 acres of land to every one of our popu- lation, of which fully 503 acres are un- occupied. In estimating the capabilities of the Northwest Territory, and the num- ber of people it will hold, he says:— “The population of Germany in 1871 was 42,726,844, spread over an area of 212,091 square miles—the average being 201 persons to a square mile. To show the capacity of the most fertile part of the Northwest to sustain in comfort, if not in affluence, an industrious people, it has been computed that there would be plenty of room within the 600,000 square miles first mentioned for over 120,000,000 in- habitasts—that number being nearly equal to the combined populations of Germany, France, Italy and Spain in 1871. Asa grain producer the North- west is nowhere to be excelled in the world, being far in advance of the American Western States, as may be seen by a table which Mr. Patterson compiled from official sources. Great advancement has also been made in the manner of farming, and which is yearly being conducted on more scientific prin- ciples. Allusion is also made to the Jumber, fishing and mining interests, which have also been greatly developed. Then there has been a marvellous in- crease in the number and importance of our industries. Between the years 1871 and 1881 the capital invested in manu- iacturing was more than doubled, whilst the number of persons directly employed in manufacturing was increased by over seventy thousand. Mr. Patterson gives special information regarding dis- tinct industries, as for instance the cotton industry, which has recently been meking rapid strides in the way of progress and improvement. Touching this branch of industry it may be stated that while in 1879 there were only seven eotton factories in the Dominion, there are at present twenty factories in full operation, which can produce ten and a half million dollars worth of goods per acnum. In the woollen trade, sugar trade, coal trade, etc., only the most gratifying results are given. Banks and all bracches of trade have expanded and prosperity reigns on every side. Within the Jast thirty years the exports and im- ports of the Dominion have increased ia value from $40,000,000 to more than $220,000,000.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Hose Or No Hose?

S1rn,—Some time since application was made by the Chief Engineer to the City Council for authority to pur: hase a thousand feet of rub- ber hose, setting forth in his app ication that unless the hose was provided the Fire Depart- ment coull not be held answerable if a serious tire took place

This application the majority of the Coun- cil saw fit in their wisdom to refuse, giving no reason forso dving. On Wednesday next an election for one member for Ward 4 will

Lord Coleridge bas drawn down the ire | of the “organ” upon his devoted head, and is treated to a daily castigation by one of the Globe’s itemizers. ‘The great Liberal exponent ought to be liberal enough to allow eveu au Englishman the privilege of aceepting au invitation to a neighbor's hospitality, without being cross with him for not running away from his host at every request even though it should be to shake hands with

the astute and loyal editor of the Globe himself.

be held. Mr. McRae has nomiuated in the intereats of the majority at the Council Board and if returned the action of the Council will be sustained in their refusal to grant the hose asked for by the Chief Engineer—which refusa!, | have no doubt, will soon be taken advantage of by the Insurance Agents de- manding increased premiums, which would materially effect many of the electors of Ward 4, especially in the eastern end, where water is scarce and has to be led through the hose for a long distance.

The electors on Wednesday will vote hose or no hose-——property burned or property saved. Which will carry?

The second heat of 3-minute class came next and was won by Helena in 2.46, Little Maud second, Spring Steel third, John fourth and Hambletonian last.

The second heat in the 2.40 class was won by Long John in 2.44, with Honest John second, and Hambletonian third.

In the third heat of the 2.40 class, Honest Tom took first place in 2.48}, with Long John second, but he was set back for run- ning to third place, second place being given to Queen.

In the second heat in the 2.40 class, Queen’s rein parted on the back stretch, but her driver, Steele, climbed from his sulkey to her back and caught her up with. out interfering with the other two horses. The judges did not distance Queen as the mishap was entirely accidental. There was a yood attendance and excellent order all the afternoon.

Temperance in Souris.

An important meeting of the Souris branch of the Dominion Temperance Alli- ance was held on last Thursday evening in the Court House. Owing to the impression that the meeting was a business one, con- fined to members of the Alliance, the num- ber present was not very large. Theclergy- men, as usual, came right to the front in the good work. The president, Rev. Donald Macdonald, occupied the chair, and in his opening address advocated the cause of temperance, and pointed out the work which the Alliance had to do. The other speakers were the Rev. Dr. Kinley, Father Gregory Macdonald, Rev. Mr. Archibald, (O’Leary Road) Rev. Mr. Cameron, Rev. Mr. Colter, Messrs. McQuaid, J. G. Sterns and Mooney. They all spoke in a hearty and earnest manner. Mr. Archibald’s address being very impressive. Those in the audi- ence, not already members of the Alliance,

members were enrolled, both ladies and gentlemen. Members are required to be totai abstainers, and pay at least 25 cents as an entrance fee. It has been decided to hold fortnightly meetings, the night of meeting to be on Thursday, and those meetings are to be public meetings, not con- fined to members of the Alliance. The members will transact their business, before or after the public meeting. The next meeting will be held on Thursday evening, the 20th of this month, at half-past seven, prompt.

At the private meeting of the Alliance, business of much importance was transacted, from which, we may reasonably expect to see good results in temperance work. —Com,

ROW HLI’S “Patent Annular Elliptic Lenses, For the Better Improvement of Defective Kyesight,

——— eee OT

99

A most extraordinary discovery in the manufacture of Spectacle Lenses has recently been made and patented by Jonathan R. Rowell.

The ‘Annular Elliptic Lens’ is so constructed as to gather the rays of light and transmit them through a wider range of vision than any other lens in use. It produces an apparently enlarged area at the point at which the object is seen, so as to adapt itself to eyes of different requirements, without trying or wearying the optic nerves, covse- quently will require less frequent changing of lenses than those ordinarily in use. By reason of the rays of light passing through the centre of the lens which meet or come to a focus, at say 14 inches from the glass, the range of vision is strengthened by illuminating the darkened space around the focal point where the concentrated rays are thrown to the centre. The object of the surrounding bevelled ring is to direct the concentrated rays, so as to overspread the dark surface, making it lighter. This condi- tion is attained by having the beveled or polished ring so inclined to the axis of the lens as to produce a separate and distinct focal point, This increase of light at the focal point renders objects placed therein more clearly visible, and has the effect of pro- ducing an enlarged area of light, thereby preventing dimness of vision peculiar to lenses constructed on the old plan.

Prof. A. K. Eaton, of Brooklyn, says:—"I have worn the pair of Annular Ellipti- Eye-Glasses you furnished me with some threes months ago, and after critical examina- tion I find they certainly have all the advantages claimed for them. The two curves of the lens give, of course, two distinct focal points, and were the human eye nothing more than an ordinary optical instrument, there would be no advantage ‘n the use of such lenses. But the eye in its perfect condition possesses the property of involuntary adjustment for different distances. When it loses this power through age, or othere wise, ordinary glasses enable the eye to work at a given distance, but do not restore the quality of adjustability. This is positively effected by the Annular Elliptic Lens, which enable the eye to adjust itself for distance within certain limits, which are determined by the foci of the different curves. This the public will appreciate when fully under- stood.”

We are so convinced of the advantages possessed by these Spectacles that we offer to take back Spectacles sold by us during the past three months, and that are not dam- aged, in part payment,—of the New Putent Lenses, this offer to hold good for one month
