The contingencies of the Gover- /nor-General’s office amount to $198,652 ‘since Confederation, and the travelling expenses of Governor-Generals in, the same /period to $72,441. All of the latter sum

A Novel Exhibition.

sitinbaci

| A novel exhibition will be opened in ‘South Kensington, England, next May, ‘and will remain open for six months. The | promoters say that it is intenced ‘‘to illus- jtrate, as vividly and in as practica) a manner as possible, food, dress, the dwell- ‘ing, the school and the workshop, as affect- \ing the conditions of healthfui life, and also to bring into public notice the most |recent appliances for elementary school teaching and instruction in applied sciences, art, and handicrafts. The exhibition will accordingly be divided into two main sections, the one devoted to what pertains to health, and the other to educational works. Specimens of food from all coun- tries will be shown, and the various methods of preparing, cooking and serving food will be exhibited. There will be illus- trations of the clothing of the principal peoples of the world, and the history of costumes will be presented. Everything that relates to the healthful construction and fitting of dwellings, school houses and worksliops will also have a place.”

The Price of Pork.

‘The price of pork this year, did you ask ?” responded a pork dealer to a Halifax Herald reporter's queries. “It is high. Why? because our farmers won’t raise enough pigs. It isa disgrace to the farmers of Nova Scotia that we have to bring our

1,000 miles. Yes, during the past winter we have imported over $20,000 worth; ‘just think of it! We have recently jseut $20,000 hard cash out of this city to Ontario for pork, while there are hundreds of thousands of bushels of potatoes rotting in Nova Scotia, which ought to be fed co pigs. Farmers ought to raise pork just as they raise cattle or poultry. They ovght to raise it cheaper than we can import it from Ontario. | But they wont take the trouble, {because we have to send the money away out of the country that ought to go to our own farmers, they growl about hard times. The trath is that farmers have only them- selves to blame that money is not more plentiful among them. And you ought to tell them so pretty plainly.”

Lightning at Sea.

ALL HANDS KNOCKED DOWN—A MAST SHIV- ERED-~A HOLS MADE IN THE BULL.

The bterk Essex, ivom Zanzibar, lay yesterday at the Pirrepont stores, in Brook- lyn, with splintered main royal topgallant mast. George W. Hall, her captain, a weather-beaten tar of some fifty-five years, said:

“T have been at sea for forty-three years, but this vogage is the one J will remember longest. We left Zanzibar Jan. 15 with a general cargo, mainly of cayenne. We had rough weather right along. We had passed Hatteras seven days on April 2, and the wind blew fresh all day from south southwest. At about four o’clock in the afternoon the barometer began to fall, and dropped to 29.04 at 8 o'clock, remaining there until twelve o'clock. When it began to fall I took in sail, carrying but the little goosewing maintopsail. The wind increased in violence, and the ship lay on her broadside in the trough of the sea. The lightning was continuous, and for four hours the atmosphere around us was like a brilliantly lighted hall. The thunder was deafening. At about 11 o’clock I was standing by the main brace, and all the rest of the crew were aft.

‘Of a sudden I felt a terrible shock, and the whole ship seemed covered with flame. I fell senseless on the deck. When I picked myself up after a moment I found all the other men had been knocked down. One man was deaf for hours. We saw by the splintered mast that the ship had been struck by lightning. It didn’t seem to take much effect on the deck, but it struck the bulkhead on the rail and went down, coming through the side, and making this hole, which I can put my finger in.

**You notice wherever there is a nai! the wood is splintered around it, and the copper is ripped off all along the side. What damage was done to the bottom we could not tell. Our cargo filled everything below. Our compasses were so overcharged that they were of no use for four days afterward. The mast was so weakened that 1 put no sail on it agaia.”

“The gale lasted for thirty-six hours, changing from south southwest into west, and from west into northwest, causing a terrible sea.”—N. Y. Sun.

Disenssing the budget speech of Sir Leonard Tilley, the London Times adopts the opinion that the credit of the Dominion never stood higher than it does at present. This, in the face of a period of business depre:sion the world over, speaks well for Canada. Another fact in favor of the Do- minion, is that it was less affected by the depression than eivher the United States or Brrtoan.

The Teronte Mail and Globe now publish evening editions.

President Melntyre of the C.P. R. has gone to England.

Skye crofters to the number of 150 are about to emigrate to Manitoba.

Florida expects to produce 60,000,000 oranges this season, and receive $250,000 for them.

A tale of terrible suffering, the result of the dronght last year, which destroyed all the crops, comes from South Carolina.

Gladstone continues to improve in health, | strength and spirits, driving and walking early in spite of the bitter east wind which keeps Mr. Bright icdoors.

The Archbishop of Canterbury’s salary is $75,000 per year, and that of the Arch- bishop of York, £56,000; Bishop of London, $50,000; Bishop of Durham, $40,- 000; Bishop of Winchester, $35,000; end the Bishep of Ely, $27,000.

Education pays—ignorance costs, The intelligent person can do things, and do them weil—the ignorant person not only works to a disadvantage, but does very little and very poor work. Intelligence paye— ignorance costs.— American Journal of Edu- cation.

The Medical Times and Gazette is not ‘surprised to learn that the recruiting for ithe British army causes uneasiness, I¢ | believes that hard times are the only season when soldiering is in vogue, and calls attention to the fact that the thirst for glory inflames the brain when hunger pinches the stomach.

An exchange says the Dominion furnishes a larger number of first class operators to the main operating room of the Western Union Telegraph Company, New York, than any single state except New York. The gentie- men coming principally from Montreel, Toronto, Halifax and other ceutres, are as a rule punctual, careful and attentive.

A Londen correapondent writes:—The sword of state which hangs on the Lord Mayor's seat at the Cla Bailey fell down recently in court, and nearly polished off the Alderman beneath it. A century or two ago this would undoubtedly have been taken as an evil angur to the City, especial- ly ii any Sir William Harcourt of the period had been just then preparing a jreform bill against its privileges. How foolish it is for folks to sit under swords, or anything else which being merely held by hovkt and nails, is certain to fall down sooner or later! The story of Damocles was, I believe, intended as a warning against the practice, only posterity has | missed the point of it.

Says the St. Stephen Courier: The capit- alists and business men of Moncton have discovered the true keys to success, well directed energy and enterprise, and their town is moving on in the direction of large and permanent prosperity. With. their sugar refinery, their cotton mill, and the various other manufacturing enterprises now existing, they are not content, but many other industries are projected and will be carried out, Companies have re- cently been incorporated to manufacture metallic monuments and agricultural im- plements, with good prospects of success, and nearly every day sees similar evidences of the spirit which animates the citizens of the Maritime railway bub.

Two royal marriages are to occur at Darmstadt this month, One is that of Princess Victoria of Hesse-Darmstadt and Prince Louis of Batenberg; the other that of the Princess Elizabeth to the Grand Duke Sergins of Russia. It is expected that the Emperor of Germany, tre Duke anu Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke of Cam- bridge, the Crown Prince of Germany, the Dowager Grand Duchess. of Hesee, the bridegrooms’s parents, the Prince Alexan- der and the Princess of Battenberg, the the Prince of Bulgaria, and scious of all the royal houses of Eurove, will be present. This will be the first time since 1876 that Queen Viotoria and the Emperor of Ger- many will have met. The bridal presents exceed in number and value any that have been seen this century.

An Austrian dealer in wild animals, writ- ing from Kassala to friends in Vienna, gives some information about the Mahdi, whom he knows personally, and with whom he has frequently transacted business, the Mahdi himself having for years past dealt in wild beasts for the different zoological gardens. He is described by the writer as a very cuoning impostor, and as an in- stance it is related that a short time ago he suddenly appeared with a number of warts on his right cheek, these having been arti- ficially produced with the aid of a German calied Schandorper, formerly a clown and afterwards a hair-dresser, now in the ser- vice of the Mahdi. The reason was that the legends about the expected Mahdi speak of him as having suth marks. Like the beasts he formerly dealt in, the Mahdi sleept during the day and transacts business during the night.

The Liverpool Journal of Commerce says: —An important shipping and commercial venture has been, or is being floated, in Greenock, for the purpose of acquiring and sailing a number of wooden vessels in the Quebec timber trade. The capital, which has been fixed at £30,000, in 300 shares of £100 each, has been, we believe, pretty nearly subscribed, although, in the mean- time, it is not intended to call up more than £75 or £380 per share, The name of of the company is “The Clyde and St. Lawrence Shipping Co .” limited, and one of the main features of the company will be that, as a rule, insurance with underwriters will not be aff-cted upon its ships, but the company will lay aside its own insurance fands, It only remains to be added that the promoters of the company are long established Clyde ship owne:s, and have 4 lengthened experience in the manage ment of ships in the Iumbey trade.
