Years ago the lato Senator Seward sac of the provinces that now compose the Do- min on: ‘*} see in British North America, stretching as it does across the continent, from the shores of Labrador and Newfound- land co the Pacific, and oceupying a con- «serable belt of the temperate zone, iraversed equally with the United States by the lakes, and enjoying the magnificent shores of the Lawrence, with its Thousand Islands in river and gulf, a region vrand enough for the seat of a great Em- pire. im its wheat fields in the west, its hroul ranges of the chase at the north, its inexhauatible lumber lands, the most ex- t sive now remaining on the globe, iis in- valuable fisheries and its yet undisturbed miner: | lep s ta, ] scetheelementsof wealth,’ vad then he eoes on to unfold its destiny ai 4 yrest independent northern power— the Itussia of the new world, but ‘ta vory different Russia from that which fills «ll S uthern Europe with terror. This is the forecast of a statesinan—a forecast towards the fultilment. of which we have already p saszed the initial stagea—only individual! or local impatience causing the g»ins achieved to be undervalued.

A British colony in the new world, of which we seldom hear much to-day, though ¢ waa once the subject of sharp internation- sl controversy, is that of the Falkland Island. ft is the moat southern of British powtoasnons. A recently published blue Look gives 4 most favorable report of the coudition of the little community. The value of the exporta last year exceeded thut of any previous returns by nearly $30,000 ~—the total figure being not far from $690,- (nk). Sume years ago a new enterprise was starcted—that of trozen mutton, of which the export in 1888 reached a value of about 767,000, but through injudicious manrage- went the undertaking collapsed. Wool, however, continues to be an importunt item in the products of the colony, over $400,- one worth being exported in 1889. The ox poriment of taking live sheap to the Lon- don market has been made, but, through viluce to provide the necessary sanitary cartifeate, the cargo had to be killed at Deptford Notwithstanding these. and other drawbacks, due to lack of judgment wid foresight, rather than to any local dis- wivantage, the colony is generally prosper- cus, the exports averaging £300 a head of the population.

The foliowineg is a list of articles, quantities aud values, imported into New Herunawick from the United States, during the last tiseal year in spite of high duties ior the protection of the Canadian farmer. Hlad our farmers been able hold their own tmarket, every article on this list would have been supplied to the consumer by them :—

lt will be observed that every article in the above list is produced or can be pro- ‘luced in great abundance in New Bruns- wick and P, E. Island. Why should New Deunawick lumber men have to go to the \'nited States for their pork or their salt leet / Why could not the lard NewBruns- wick requires be supplied by our own people. The pork imported into New Hrunswick last year represented the rais- ing of about 13,000 good sized hogs which ourfarmers ought to have fattened and sold. So with respect to beef, of which New Brunswick imported enough to rep- resent about 5000 head of cattle which ought to have been raised by our own farmers, We ought not to let the United States farmers undersell us in our own iawkets. -———— en The Bank of France has in its yaults #590,000, of which $242,000,000 is gold and $238,000,000 silver.

The parlor of the Y. M. C. A. was even uncomfortably filled last evening by the large audience which assembled to hear Rev. Mr. Hamlyn, B. A., Rector of St. Paul's Church, read his paper upon ‘* Plants and their uses.” Extra benches had to be brought before all were soate:d. Wewere glad tu see such a large percentave of ladies present, and we hape the same de- parture will have to be noticed at all future

meetinga of the Society. The reverend lecturer treated his subject. ia a popular manner, with the resuit that the lease

learned student of botany could grasp the subject withour either effort or ditlicalty,

The wtility of plants as consumers of the poisonous carbonic acid ge constant y being

into the atmosphere animal respiration or the oxidation by fire as ia voleanoces, ete., was first dealt with, the subject affording the lecturer ample opportunity for describing versely, yet fully, the respiration of plants. ‘The means whereby cross-fertilization through the agency of imsects is secured, was next dealt with, snd finally Mr. Hamlya en. umerated a number of plants of each of many.matural orders, remarkable as possess ing certain characteristics, such as being medicinal, poisonous, edible, or useful in the arts. The lecture was well received by the audience, several iueabers of which afterwards expressed themselves as_ in- structed as well as entertained by the rey. essiyiat's paper. A vote of thanks was accorded the lecturer. It was announced that Professor Shuttleworth will read the next paper befure the Society on the subject of ‘The food of plants and how they obtain it.” It is ovident that the Society is growing in popular favor. We should like to see more people joining the Natural History Society, and by their membership fees siding it in meeting the expense of the free popular lectures it is giving every secon! week to our Char'lo'te town public,

Lilly in an article inthe March Forum. The title is ** the Shibboleth of the People,” and the following extract occurs in a pas- sage in which Mr, Lilly cites the McKinley bill as proof that in the United States the su-called sovereignty of the people is always a liction and sometimes a snare. ‘* Now, to guard myself against misconception,” he says perenthetically, ‘let me state that | am no believer in Mr. Cobden’s free trade nostrum and calico millenium. ‘That weighty political (economical) consideration may be urged on behalf of a protectionist policy in America, and, indeed, in most other countries, Iam far from denying.” This admission, coming from an English- man of acknowledged ability and influence a8 a writer on public questions is as impor- tant on the one hand as his exposure of the shams of cis-Atlantic democracy—a demo- eracy which ** confers upon the President a power exercised by no European monarch ” —is on the other.

A belief in sorcery still prevails in France. The father of a child bitten by a mad dog, instead of calling a doctor, sum- moned a sorcerer to attend the child.
