—Aceording toan Ottawa despatch, from information received bythe Minister of Agriculture it is learned that there is now a goud demand for two-rowed barley for shipment to the English market. He re- ports that the results of last year's testing by brewers in England have beenvery favorably and have awakened a general interest in the subject. Exporters who are handling this grain have been purchasing In aii the principal barley districts in Ontario for the past two weeks, paying about ten cents per bushel more for two-rowed than is being offered for six-rowed. Several large ship- ments are now about being made from Mon- treal,

—We publish to-day, a translation of 2 very readable article on Rustico, contribu- ted to ovr excellent contemporary, L’Evan geline, of Weymouth, N. S8.,-by M. Tesson, the Professor of French in this city. MM Tesson, whe isa contributor to several ot the leading French journals, is a ready writer, with much ease and grace in his style. His paper on Rustico, will, we are sure, be read with considerable interest.

He spent part of the summer there among *

his compatriots, and we understand that it is his intention to"redeem the promise he has made in the conclusion of the article, by writing a novel founded upon Rustie>, which he has now in course of preparation.

—A new scandal has been unearthed in Quebec. The story is that some time Attorney General Rubidoux, of the Mer- cier government, took proceedings to se- cure to the Province the property of one Fraser, recently deceased, the contention being that the son who succeeded to the property was illegitimate. The trial judg- saent was in favor of the son, whereupon the Attorney General gave notice of his in- tention to appeal. <A few days subsequent ly the defendant received an intimation that if he would pay $2,500 to Evnest Pacaud the appeal weuld not be prose- cuted. He paid the money, and received promptly from the ‘t.orney General a let- ter saying that the case would not be ap pealed. That is the way gritism works when in power. When in opposition it screams for purity and calls all its oppon- ents boodlers and thieves.

—A correspondent reminds us that ten- ders are being called for the New London mail service, as the contract is shout ex- piring. This service has tv be performed with two horses, and parties have, he tars, been in the habit of tendering low and running the mail for the greater part of the time with a one-horse team. The people have not complained of this, though they are entitled to a service, in accordance with the contract, fulfilled to the letter. Our correspondent suggests that the Inspector should require weekly reports from the postmasters in this matter, as it is a deli- cate matter to complain about a neighbor. We trust, also, that when parties are ten- dering for this service they will bear in mind that the service has to be performed with two horses and a suitable vehicle, to the satisfaction of the Postmaster-General, and that as the line was started for the ac- commodation of passengers, the contract should be literally fulfilled.

—The Government returns forthe present fiscal year continue to be satisfactory, al- though there is a reduction in the cus. toms revenue consequent on the abolition of the duty on sugar. The revenue for September was $3,175,880, and expendi- ture $1,847,472 The revenue for the three months of the fiscal year was $8,815,- 533 and the expenditure $5,835,885, show- ing asurplus so far cf $2,981,648.

The Young memorial is now completed, with the exception of placing on the east side the bronze tablet which is to bear the inscription recording the heroic death of Fred.

From each corner of the base is & prejecting bleck of grey granite, and on each bleck or project- ing base is a red granite urn. The main body of tie monument is enclosed with four red granite pillars with carved caps On the west side, and between two of these pillars, is & finely cut bas relief representa- tion of the scene, Fred Young with tle life-preserver about bim, and battling for his own and the life of young Mundee.

POLITENESS. —

Paper Read by Miss Fennessey Teachers’ Prov: | incial Institute.

Refore the

| (MR. OXENHAM’S REPORT CONTINUED )

| A paper on Politeness was read before ithe Teachers’ Institute, by Miss Alice Fen- nessey, of Queen Square Schocl, a synopsis of which ts as follows :

The subject of my paper is Politeness,

snd although it is not classed among the studies prescribed for children attending the public schools, it has always appeared tome to be one of the most necessary acguirements of youth, both as regards their intercourse with others during their school days, and in later life when they go out into the world. Frequently a boy spends much time and labor in the acquire- ment of knowledge which proves of little or no practical benefit to him in after life. This cannot be said of politeness. No matter what his position in life may be, true politeness is the means of enhancing his own happiness as well as that of all those with whom he comes in contact. A person may have an extensive knowledge f books, and yet be very rude and dis- agreeable to those about him. A truly polite man is polite on all eccasions. How ean this object be attained? By proper training from earliest infancy. If properly instructed all through his schvol life, a boy’s habits will be properly formed and his manners correct. But this is a subject that should be con- stantly and persistently taucht, and must never be treated with indifference. Un- fortunately, such is not always the case, as many teachers give little or no attention to it. How often do we hear it said of a boy that he is intelligent and clever, but that he is rude and ill-bred, that all hi« other quxlifications are of mo account. Who is responsible for this deficiency ? We an- swer that the blame must rest upon those who have had charge of his training. All parents are not capable of teaching their children to be polite, but all teachers should be ihoreughly qualified in that respect. [he teacher, above all others, should be polite, for his pupils naturally follow his example. Many of us have heard severe criticisms on the behav- iour of boys who have been attending our public schools during the past few years— their disregard of those in authority over them, their want of respect for elderly people, and all whoin any way seemed to oppose their inclinations. It is no un. common thing to hear children dictating to their parents respecting the course the lat- ter shall pursue. Sometimes boys are heard boasting of their bad deeds, but, strange to say, never of their good ones. Ta comparing the boys of different schools with each other, I found that all the boys in one school wers more easy, dignified, re- apeciful and maniy than those of any of the others. I made inquiry from & person ina position to know the reason why this wasso. His reply was that the Principal of that School was a well-bred man, and that the subject of politeness was kept prominently before his pupils. It seems to me that nothing-has a more eleva- ting and refining influence than true polite- ness. A mother’s influence, if exerted as it should he, is powerful in moulding the habits and manners of her children ; still, there remains much for the faithful teacher todo, All habits, whether good or bad, soon become ‘‘second nature”; conse- quently good training must begin when a child is quite young. A _ boy should be unconsciously polite at all times. I cannot here name all the various forms of polite- ness, but will allude to one ortwo. First, men raise their hats to women, and allow the latter to precede them on entering a doorway ; and they place a seat, if possi- ble, fur them. Little boys may also per- form these acts as well as men. Boys should be taught never to spit on floors, not to handle the property of others with. out permission, not to push and jostle when in a crowd, and not to be indifferent to the rights of others. To many persons these matters appear as trifles ; but they are none the less important, forit isof trifles our lives are composed, Nevertheless it is the per- formance or non-performance of them that is the index to a man’s character. Some people have strange ideas of politeness, be- cause they have never been taught what it is. A mau who isthe possessor of eight millions of dollars worth of property bows to the humblest of his servants on the most fashionable street. Does that fact make the servant disrespectful to him? Cer- tainly not. It helps to elevate and refine the person who is thus treated. Yet there are men not worth $100, who would think their dignity compromised if seen raising their hat to an old, or poor woman! We have all heard of the story of Geo. Wash- ington, who raised his hat to a poor negro on the street, and when reproved for doing so bya friend, he replied that he could not allow a black manto surpass him in politeness. I have read, somewhere, that the degree of civilization to which a nation has arrived, is known by the respect paid to its women. True politeness is the lan- guage of good, kind hearts; those who possess such hearts can never be rude. No person is insensible to politeness, and when polite to others, we are simply fol- lowing the golden rule: ‘* Do unto others as you would have them do to you.” (Applause. ) Miss C. C. *Snaddon said:—The paper just read by Miss Fennesrey has my hig! est approval. The subject is one upon which I feel very deeply, and =! earnestly hope that all my fellow-teachers will take it to heart, and inculcate, both by precept and example, that which will re- sult in making our boys and girls more graceful and well-behaved. (Applause).

Mr. J. M. Duncan.—The paper to which _We have just listened was certainly a very /good one. The politeness shown by some gentlemen towards ladies is not in accord- ance with my ideas. Instead of simply gracefully raising their hats, they lower |them so much as to lead a person to sup- pose they are holding them for a contribu. tion. (Laughter),

Mr. N. MecLeod—I think this matter should be dealt with in a serious manner, 48 It is a very important one. I myself do not claim to be very polite; but I think

any point.

kindness and good nature, and should be cultivated by all. Itis simply dealing with our fellow creatures as good citizens should in all cases. 1 confess that this paper has impressed mo with the feeling that we should treat all classes of peopie politely, the poor as well as the rich, and that the subject has not received from teachers the consideration which it deserves.

Rev. Mr. Hamilton being present was invited to spesk, and said: The gentleman who has just taken hia seat has quite covered the ground I wou'd ecenpy in desling with the subject. I fully endorse all that has beea said respecting the question befere the convention, —that of poriteness, Dr. Talmage tells the following anecdote: A boy was one day chasing a runaway cow for the purpose of turning her in another direction, aud, meeting ® man on the road, hesaid: ‘“Purn that cow !” The man replied that the cow was right side out, already. Again the boy said, ‘ Speak to that cow !” and the man said to the cow, “Good morning.” ‘Polite, even to a cow,” said the Dr. It would be # compusratively easy matter for us all to be polite. Yet the subject does pot receive the attention which: it deserves. Iam pleased to be associated with this great army of progress,—the men and women who mould the minds of the youth of our country. (Applaure.)

Ov motion, the thanks of the convention were teodered to Miss Fennessy for her excellent essay.

-————P- > --<ae——-—--— The Financial Situation.

—_—-—

According to Henry Clews of New York London appears to be a somewhat uncer- tain factor, chiefly because of the mune- tasy situation there. It is possible that we will have drawn from$35,000,000 to $40,- 000,000 of gold from Europe by the close of next December. We have already tak- en about $15,000,000 during the season. The Bank of England is disposed to resist | this movement in a degree, and much of | the demand will fall upon Paris, which is!

fortunately well prepared to meet it. It is also to be remembered that the failure of crops in Europe _ will

cause there stagnation of trade and dis- courage speculation, thereby lessening the demand fur money. Politica), financial and monetary affairs in Europe are al] in a com-

plicated and delicate condition. Hence, it is impossible to accurately forecast their outcome ; so that, however superior the’ inducements of American securities to for- | eigners, itis quite within the range of possibilities that they may not be able to| avail themselves of such acvantagesas freely | as weexpect. In other words, it will | not do to count too _ strongly upon foreign support in event of a further! rise. Money in London has been quoted | at Sto 6 per cent for carrying American ! stocks, whcih caused increased orders to. sell. That the Bank of England did not, raive the rate of discount was prubsbly due to a desire to keep foreign money markets free of disturbance during the placing-of the Russian loan.

The home monetary situation is satisfactory This week's bank statement will be made on rising averages, and ought therefore to be a favorable one. Owing to prudent treasury management and expansion the in circula- tion, together with plentiful gold imports. and the strong position ef the associsted | banks, there is little prospect of ext eme | stringency in money. Enough and to spare seems probable for crop and trade require- menis, theugh the demand from the latter quarter may subsequently become urgent enough to stiffen rates and so affect specula- tion. When stocks are active there is always an attempt to munipalate morey; but we do not anticipate aay natural stringeucy for some weeks to come. Earnings continue to show handsome gains, both net and gross; and, altogether, the railroad future is as | bright as it could be. |
