THE SBWEEAGE QUESTION.

Tae meeting of Saturday approved the Sewerage Bill as passed by the Legislature. It was evidently the desire of the meeting to held on to the present Commissioners rather than to riek a popular election in which there might

evening

be eight or ten candidates and in which a

little clever manipulation might secure the election

honest or competent. Ample proof of the

wisdom of this desire was exhibited in the

meeting itself,

As to the argumest pressed by the

Councillors Crabbe and Nicholson, Mr. E. H. Norton, and Dr.

8100erTs.

the intreduction of sewerage.

The bill goes further in this regard than we were aware when writing on Friday last. Messrs. Leird, Smith and Halloran beyond the terme for which they were elected. This provision ig, we think, ill considered anc unnecessary. If they do well,the present commissioners will, eingle~handed, easily secure re-election; and if they do not do well, they ought to be turned out. We should be pleased to see the bill re-committed and the election of the commissioners ynade ta follow in rotation as provided by the Water Works Act,—through, with the meeting, we should rather see the bill passed asitis than postpone sewerage. The Hon. David Laird declared,at the meeting, that he did not desire to hold office an hour beyood the term for which he had been duly elected by the citizens; and we have no doubt that the other com- missioners would ke equally willing to render an account of their stewardship at

t”” end of their respective terms,

Salisbury'’s Sentiments.

The Premier of Great Britain addressed the Primrose League of England a'few days ago. He begav his speech by grave- ly saying that he could not pase by the terrible conflict now ‘being waged by two highly civilized nations. He could only hope, he said, that the ecollection-of the blessings of peace would before long bring

the minds of both cembatants toe senti-~ ment which would restore the tranquility o the — werld.

“I cannot dwell upon the subject,” he said, “without departing from tnat attitude of strict neutrality which it is my duty. »as well as that of many others, to maintain.” This expression on the partot the Premier evoked sympathetic marmurs from the audience.

Referring to China, Lord Salisbury ae clared that his policy was the best for peace and fer England. The governmest, ‘be said, felt bound not tocommence the dismemberment of China; but as the result of the policy of others, England now has the most advantageous points by bolding

ed no opponent. Nothiag, he continued, would have induced England to undertake the responsibilities of holding Port Arthur, and he _ thought

the court of Pekin. If Chioa should

collapse, he said, there would be great

confusion, giving opportucities for exten -

sion which England would welcome. > ae

fGaves (Along the Coast Wherein Their . Contraband Goods Were Stored. 1 very curious feature of the coasts :of England, where rocky or wild, is the ‘trenched and banked up paths from the -eaves along the coast. These are notice- able in Devon and Cornwall and along the Bristol channel. That terrible sea *front. consists of precipitous walls of -rock,.with only here and there a dip, wherea brawling stream has sawed its ‘course down to the sea, and bere there »¥s, perhaps, 4 sandy shore of dininu- ‘tive proportions, and the roc ks around are pierced in all directions with cay- -erps. The smugglers formerly ran their goods, into these caves, when the weath- -er permitted, or the preventive men were -not.on the lookout. They stowed away their, goods in the caves and gave notice to the farmers and gentry of the neigh- ‘borhoed, all of whom were provided wwith mumerous donkeys, which were thenceforth sent down to the caches, and the kegs.and bales were remeved under eoveref the night or of storm. As an excuse for keeping droves of donkeys at-was pretended that the sea sand and the kelp served as admirable dressing for the land, and no doubt so they did. The trains of asses sometiimes came up laden with sacks of sand, but not infre- quently with kegs of brandy.

Now.a wary preventive man might watch too marrowly the proceedings of these trains of asses. Accordingly squires, yeomen and farmers alike set to work to.cut:deep ways in the face of the downe, along the slopes of the hills, and bank them up so that the whole caravans of laden beasts might travel up and down ,absolutely unseen from the sea and greatly screened from the land side. Undoubtedly the sunken ways and high hanks are a grest protec- tion against the weather. So they were represented to be, aud uo doubt grestly were the good folks commended for their consideration for the beasts and their drivers in thus.at great cost shut- ting them off from the violizce of the gale. Nevertheless it can hard'y be doubted that concealment from the eyes of the coust guard was sought by this means quite as much, if mot more, than the sheltering the beastsof burden from the weather.—South African Review.

WAR CORRESPONDENTS.

Everything in a campaign upon the general in command, upon his coolness, resourcef™lucss and rapidity of glance. He mzy boa man who dis- likes correspondents, a dislike they are certain to return, and he feels therefore us if he were perpetually watched in the gravest crises by personal enemies, a feeling which weuld have been fatal to Mar! borough or Eugene of Savoy, the two commanders most remarkable for immovable sang froid. Everybody is not born with the advertising spirit,

British army from whom the country will never obtain the best service they are capable of pertorming because of the multitude of reporters in the camps. That isa thought which those who are responsible for armies are bound to ponder, and, knowing as they do its truth, we do not wonder that they doubt whether to interest the readers of

newspapers is an advantage sufficient to outweigh so many risks.—Londoa Spectator.

In the treatment of diseases of the kidneys nephritis, or urinary troubles one shoulda be extremely careful. There are ‘00 many advertised remedies which claim too mucn.

It ie particularly effective ip the treatment of renai calenli, or kidney troubles generally. As aa antacid it co™ rects the acidity of the stomach, making it specific in certain forins of dyspepsia avd in the treatment of gout and rkeunalism. It also acts as a mid alterative. rendering the blood and urine alkalicve.” The cary use of Abbey’s Kifervescent Salt mekes sickness almoet i pos=ible.
