A Young Wife who went West with her husband sends this doleful note home : |**Things are different now. In place of being called up to breakfast I have to get up and prepare it or go without.” How terrible.

“This art craze is going too far,” said Bronghne, when a pot of paint fell from a second-story window and struck hin: on the head. ‘‘No more decorated tiles for me,’ he mournfully added, as he began to scrape the yellow paint off his silk hat with a jack- knife. —Norristown Herald.

A young woman who is able to earn her living in the country should hesitate long before coming to New York to seek em- ployment, is the advice the Sun gives a cor- respondent, The Boston Globe says such advice is applicable to maidens who think of coming tg Boston or any other large city. Unless they have an exceptional chance the country is the best place.

The Cochrane Ranche Company have dis- posed of their lease near Calgary,” together with all improvements and the horses upon the ranche, to the British American Ranch- ing Company. The purchasers intend stocking the ranche with sheep, about six thousand of which will be brought in this season. Mr. W. D. Kerfoot, lately of the ©. R,. Co., has been appointed manager of the B. A. R. Co., and will fix his head- quarters at Big Hill.

Carlyle says: ‘‘All true work is religion; and whatsoever relig on is not work may go and dwell among ‘he Brahmins, Antin- oinians, spinning Dervishes, or where it will; with me it shall have no harbor. Ad- mirable was that of the old monks, Laborare estorare, ‘‘work is worship.” Albeit the source is not Christian, the words have a real Christian ring—utter a real Christian truth much needed in these days. Right thoughts and right feelings are indispensable to religion, but they are worthless unless translated into right actions.

In Russell County, Va., last Sunday, George Gibson, his cousin Wiliiam Gibson, Jonas Powers and Wayne Powers, who had bought a bucket of brandy in. the moun- tains, got into a dispute about who. had paid the most for it. Knives and pistols were drawn and William Gjbson was*shot and killed. The other three men built a fire over his body, burning it almest to a crisp. The charred remains were found next day and recognized. The _ three murderers have been caught and placed in jail. With great difficulty lynching was prevented. The people are terribly aroused and it is feared that the murderers will yet be taken from jail aud hanged.

There is “‘more truth than poetry” in the following paragraph from the Journal, of Windsor, N. 8.;—‘‘Our young people this spring are returning from the United States. By correspondence in this issue, and from private sources, we learn that toa greater extent than any previous year, young men come back to Nova Scotia who ought never to have left it. It seems useless to argue with such people. The money they spend in going out and in, would help them to begin a life ofindependence. How many of that class are obliged to go away because they cannot make a living at home? And how many of them, after having earned a little money, come back to make a good use of it? Is not the money earned in the States, by doing harder work, and some- times meaner work than they would submit to here, spent in sight-seeing, in having a good time, in travelling home and back again? Are there not people who have cleared good farms in Nova Scotia, simply by keeping at their work, while these roll- ing - stones have gathered no moses. Re- member, we find no fault with steady, in- dustrious young people, who stick to a place and make the most of it. These are likely to succeed anywhere. But we would like to see less of the disposition to move about from mere love of excitement, or be- cause ‘Nova Scotia issuch a slow place, you know.’ Depend upen it, Nova Scotia will never be made better by persons who talk and act in this way.

Moderate men of all shades of political thought must rejoice (says the Toronto i Mail) at the success of Sir John and the failure of Mr. Blake. If this country is to become anything, it must be by the creation of a sound National enthusiasm, desirous of conserving all provincial rights under the Union Act, but equally desirous of pre- venting the unseemly antagonisms which it appears to be Mr. Blake’s great aim to stir up and intensify. In so far as the legislation of the session has succeeded in quieting doubts, removing causes of jealousy, aud preventing heart burning by prompt proof of good feeling on the part of the Federal Parliarsent towards all the Provincial Gov- ernmerits, ircespective of the political views of these Provincia] Government, that suce cess is due to the wisdom and modera- tion of the Premier. In so far as it has the fsilure has been produced by the anti-national utterances of the Opposition. It is a good proof of the moderation and wisdom of the Central Government, as seen in their legis- lation, that the Legislatures of the several provinces have, even when politically an- tagonistic, taken, in important instances, the same line of policy as that initiated by Sir John. In the Provinces of New Bruns. wick resolutions antagonistic to the Federal Government were introduced, but died of

| CURRENT NOTES.

During 1883, 2,582 buildings were erect- ed in New York at a cost of -$43,727,658, so rapidly does that city grow !

A telegram from the Dalrymple farm says: ‘*Three-quarters of our seeding is done; weather fine. The seeding is twelve to fifteen days earlier than the average of the last three years.”’

Bombay is now the largest city in British India, the population by the recent census being 773,166, against 766,298 for Calcutta. Bombay’s inerease in the last ten years was 128,791, against Calcutta’s increase of only 79,614,

Sir William Thomson, who is so widely known through his electrical discoveries and inventions will be the president of the mathematical and physical science sections at the meeting of the British Science Asso- ciation in Montreal the coming summer.

The Department of Marine bas purchased the steamer Edsall for surveying work on Georgian Bay. Staff Commander Boalton, of the Reyal Navy, will be in charge of the survey, and Stewart, of Ottawa, graduate of the Royal Military College, wi!l be ase‘atant surveyor.

Mr. Clifford Lloyd, as described by the London Times’ correspondent, is a man whose social popularity is only equalled by his official unpopularity. He possesses in- domitoble energy and courage; he is thoroughly in earnest, and attacks an abuse like a bull, utterly regardless of all ob- stacles.

The British Medical Jowrnal says: ‘We often hear a great deal about the dampness of our climate as a cause of disease, of the respiratory organs especially, but the death rate and the amount of rain fall do not appear to stand in any definite relationship, whereas a spell of cold weather produces an immediate and notable effect.”

A racy story is told of an old lady who refused to be comforted by her pastor's assurance that when he left she would have a better pastor as his successor. ‘Na, na,” she said, “J have seen fourteen changes in the ministeis since I attended the kirk, and every ane has been waur than anither.”

The Minneapolis Tribune has collected information from 117 counties in Min- nesota, Daketa and lowa. It says that seeding is finished, and one-half the wheat sown is already above ground. Dakota shows a 40 per cent. increase in acreage, and reports that the late rains have been beneficial.

Advices from Calcutta, dated April 6th, say :—‘‘Reports received from the north west provinces, the Punjab and Rajpoot- apa, show that the scarcity of food for cattle is becoming serious in many places ; and it is likely that steps will have to be taken by the government to afford relief. There has hardly any rain fallen in North- ern India since the beginning of the year, and the grass is withered thronghouta great part of the country,”

Opposition papers will be interested in the following: And now we have it, on the authority of the Chicago J'ribune, that Oregon is a first class place to stay away from. The climate is so exceedingly moist that residents of afew years have forgotten what the sun looks like, and so far as “times” go, the Tribune explains that there has never been any demand in the State for anything but manual labor of the hard- est ki: d, that at present wages for they are coming down to eastern figures, and that at least 6,000 men aré idle and suffering.

What is wanted with many young men, is independence—‘‘get-up-and-get.” How many young men are wasting a vigorous manhood, it would be hard to tell. We know of many, They seem to lack the manhood to face the world. White hands ~-a few stray hairs on their upper lip, and the make-up of a dude, seems to be the height of their ambition. Young man strike cout for yourself. Beaman. Don't say Ican’t,for youcan. Then you will be yourown master. Business men will respect you, and opportunities .will be constantly offering you to better your con- dition. This road may appear a little rough at first, but you will shortly like it and wonder why you did not start on it svoner.

In replying to an address from the con- gress of peasants of the Duchy of Meinin- gen, Prince Bismarck urged the latter at the coming elections to free themselves from the influence of pelitical faction. ‘I am delighted to see,” he said, ‘that the peasants’ associations are multiplying throughout the empire and that they are endeavoring to take in hand the defence of their own rights and interests. The econ- omic well-being of the country has nothing to gain from the purely political strifes in which parties have engaged. On the other hand, the good of the people and especially of the peasantry isan object of unceasing solicitude to the government and His Majesty the Emperor, and the prosperity of agriculture is one of its prime con- ditious.”

Each of the various countries on the Continent Where glass is manufactured produces an article peculiar to itself and unlike its neighbors; and one of the special- ties of Austrian glass making is the manufacture of various fabrics for ladies’ wear from spun glass. The glass is spun into threads, like ordinary silk or cotton, and woven into different colored fabrics, sometimes entirely of glass, and sometimes with a warp of milk or cotton. Collars, neckties, cords and tassels, fringes, pin cushions, feathers, belts, ete , are all made of this material. At the Paris Exposition in 1878 a bonnet made ertirely of spur glass, with feather and ribbons, iined with silk, ‘was shown, as well as cloaks and other jarticles of wear. This spun glass is also used for watch chains, brushes, etc. Glass flowers are also made to 4a considerable

atrophy before they were a week old, aud extent, but it is difficult for these to | compete with those matle from chine.
