Notes and Clippings. There has lately been established in Newfoundland a Department of Fisheries to look specially after that most important branch of island’s industries. It is believed, according to one authority, that ‘ina few years tangible evidence of its value will be experienced in the restoration of the shore fishery.”

- It is generally hoped that the selection

of Sir Henry Norman, one of the ablest servants of the Crown, as Governor of Queensland, will settle the dispute. There

is reason to know that Canada has not fol- lowed the example of the other colonies in urging the Colonial Office to accede to the demand for a colonial voiee in the selection of governors. On the contrary, Canadian ficial opinion is believed to incline to the Imperial view, that if a governor is to act as arbitratur between parties he must not owe his position to colonial political fac- tions.

Lord Salisbury, speaking in Glasgow on the treatment of ‘political prisoners in ireland, said the Government’s action con- tirmed the general practice of mankind. “A few years ago,” said the Preimier, “there was ahalf-breed in Canada called Riel, who rebelled and attempted to spread desolation and misery in a fruitful and smiling land. Was a second offence to be treated according to this maudlin, effemia- ate doctrine? No;on the contrary, the Canadian Government, representing the people if ever a Government did, simply hanged him. That accorded with the rule in modern societies, and accorded with the ction of the Imperial Government in Ire- land.”

At the instance of Lord Stanley, the Governor-General, it is proposed to begin n Ottawa, on the line of the Cambridge University Extension Union, a series of ree popular science lectures, more particu- arly fur the benefit of the working classes. Chis is, we believe, the first systematic

well expended in providing a few specia: |

forts fur lady passengers. A decently |

ippointed cabin, not open to men (especial-

jrunken men) would be nothing more | they are entitled to; and a waiting

consists of 240 pages, filled with reports of boards for foreign missions, home missions, education, infirm ministers, temperance,

Sunday schools, ete., also minutes of the

convention and the eight associations in the

three provinces. The book is of very great interest to the Baptists and valuable to

those who mark the standing and progress of the various religious bodies. The statis- tics show in round numbers 378 churches and 44,000 members, 250 ordained minis:- 438 Sabbath schools and 2,800 members. The number of adherents, or those holding Baptist views but not church members, is not reported. They contribut- ed over $20,000 last year for missionary

work is in Hindustan (Madras) where | eiviut white missionaries and some twenty! native assistants are carrying the gospel to | the Telugus. , The reports are very en- | couraging.

True for you Mr. Weldon !

— W hile some of the United States papers ire partitioning Canada and making maps showing ** New States,” others are ringing the changes on a different key. Thus, the New York Mail and Express: ** The next war will not be begun by the South. It will conre from the North. The clash of resuunding arms that will next be heard will come from the weapons of ‘hundreds of thousands uf loyal Northern men who will not permit the stealing of their birthright. Let the Democratic party look to it that they save the country from a war that will surely follow their theft of the House of Representatives. The South had best take warning. lf they goon in their thievish efforts they wiil soon hear the approaching march of the Northern army that will make war uponthe men who undertake to set aside the people’s verdict by crime.” The alleged Union appears, as The Empire says, to have enough on its hands without gob- bling up Canada and Mexico does it not ? But then they may need more territory as a counter-balancing influence.

—It is natural that President Cleveland should hardly regard affairs through rose- coloured spectacles, and that everything should look as blye to him as to Sir Rich- ard Cartwright himself, when gloomily re- garding Canada deprived of the benefit of his services in office. So the President takes a very melancholly view of his coun- try when sending for the last time his Mes-

sage on the opening of Congress. He lescribes the United States as eaten up with dishonest speculation and greedy

rings, as suffering from corrupt legislation ind improvident expenditure, and as being overburdened by the now unnecessary war taxation. Making all proper allowance for he gloomy state of mind engendered by his defeat, we know from other sources that there is a considerable amount of truth in the President's strictures and lamentations. Yet this is the country which envious foreigners and renegade Canadians are ask- ing Canada to join as a sort of earthly paradise.

| The “Times ”-Parnell Case. | —

The Times has subponaed Patrick Molloy, the noted Fenian connected with ithe murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish ‘and Under-Secretary Burke, in Phoenix Park, Dhblin, to appear as a witness be- fore the Parnell Commission. Molloy re- fused to obey and was arrested and brought to London.

Before the Commission on Wednesday Sir Charles Russel, other counsel concur- ring, made application for an adjournment of court from Friday until January 15th. The application was granted.

On Wednesday the witnesses swore that they knew of cases of boycotting and out- rages. On being cross-examined all testified that they knew of persons who had written threatening letters to themselves to excite sympathy. The League denounced out- rages and was mainly instrumental in secur- ing reductions in rent which were very properly requested after the bad seasons of 1878 and 1879, If reductions had been voluntarily granted, the country would have remained peaceful,

Walsh, ex-Secretary of the Vildemaugh, County Mayo, branch of the League, testi- fied that by order of the League several persons had been boycotted for refusing to join in the plan of campaign. On cross-ex- amination the witness admitted that he had been charged with pilfering the funds and had been expelled from the league ; also had been the agent for a glass insur- ance company and had been discharged for making a fraudulent claim for damages to windows in his mother’s house ; had also attempted to defraud the Gresham Life In- surance Company. The police had inti- mated to him that they did not know what would befall him in connection with the in- surance matter if he refused to give evi- dence on behalf of the Times, and he then consented to testify.

Educational Notes.

Accuracy is one of the trade-marks of scholarship. A man’s education has failed in a yery important particular if it has failed to form and conform in him the habit of Observing closely and remembering with exactness the essential qualities of that which is for the time being the object of study, whether that object be a thought or athing. The power of accurate observa- tion is one that can be fermed only by practice. The student should remember continually that in both worlds with which he has to deal—the world of thought and the world of action—everything ts exactly what itis. ‘The mental image should be an exact reproduction of its essential features, not an indefinite, hazy approximation. The habit once formed is invaluable. It shows itself in everything, in pronunciation, in quotation, in description, in all making and doing.. ~ Kdueational Journal.

Bear constantly in mind the truth that the aim of your disciples should be to pro- duce « self-governing being, not to produce a being to be governed by others. This it is whic makes the system of discipline by

natural consequences so specially appropri- ate to the social taste which we have now reached. Another great advantage of this natural system of discipline is that it is a system of pure justice, and will be recognized by every child as such. Whoso suffers nothing more than the evil which obviously follows natually from his own misbehaviour, is much less likely to think himselt wrongly treated than if be suffers an evil artifically inflicted on him, and ,this will be true of children as of men.—Herbert Spencer.

Mere teaching, without formative in- fluences on character, is simply a_ trade. But can education ensure right character / No. Character is not from the intellect, but from the will; or, rather, the person that lies back of the will. To the old ques- tion whether virture can be taught, we say nv. Some knowledge may be forced upon us ; a right character cannot be; still, there are indirect formative influences, and the education that ignores character is radically defective.—Mark Hopkins.

In my opinion, the boy who leaves at the end of a common-school course, with a love of reading good books, is better prepared for a life of honor and influence than one who passes through a high-school course without that love; and he who has an or- dinary high-schoo] education combined with a taste for good reading, is better equipped for the duties of life than the graduate of the best college or university in the coun- try without that taste.—John P. Peaslee.
