The following lines are affectionately in ‘scribed to the relatives and friends of John 'Bulman who died at Rustico March the 24th, 1887 : | | Hark ! the death bell tolles a solemn knell,

Which dolefully doth say, In accents that we shrink to hear Another soul hath passed away.

A message to our brother comes | Which none can disobey; He yielded meekly to the call, And could no longer stay.

Away from this world of pain, Thy smiling face and familiar form We ne'er shall enjoy again.

| Dear brother thou art for ever gone }

| When standing by your death-bed side, We could not from tears refrain,

| No more shall you in circles here

Make hearts that are sad rejoice;

| You have resigned the earthly sphere; We cannot hear your voice.

Pain—of which we cannot write,

When viewing last your ghastly form,

Decked in its garb of white.

There in that lone and dreary spot Your lifeless form is laid.

That sleep that knows no waking; To know that thou art gone to rest Will cheer the hearts that are breaking.

They consist of 177 bat- 'talions of infantry and chasseurs on foot, }140 squadrons of cavalry, 106 batteries of artillery, 15 battalions of artillery on foot, 7 battalions of pioneers and 5 battalions of train troops. Considering that on the French side of the frontier there is simply the Army Corps, now under the command of Gen. Fevrier, and even admitting that the French artillery had most of its am- munition in readiness and that the French cavalry is permanently completely horsed, people of good sense and acquainted with the strength of both countries recognize that there is no room for apprehension as to the weakness of the German forces on the French frontier.

eo Uses of the New Universal Language.

It is as an international commercial lan- guage that the French adepts in Voiapuk expect that it will become popular and useful, rather than the language of litera- ture or science. The Germans, on the other hand, while hoping for its popularity in commerce, look also to making it the common medium of communication for literature, art and science. Some of them have even gone so far as to have attempted to write poetry in it, with what success | do not know. They would have books intended for international circulation, standard scientific works, and periodicals and books of general reference, printed in it, as religious works were once all written and printed in Latin. It will probably be many years before their hopes will be realized; but, judging from the favor with which Volapuk has been received, we may fairly anticipate that it will, before long, be made practically useful—-becoming, in fact, one of the labor-saving machines of moderu civilization.

Apvick To Motmers.— Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain; and the little cherub awakes as “bright asa button.” It is very pleasant vo taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all

ain, regulates the bowels, and is the best nown remedy for diarrhea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Twenty-live cents a bottle. Be sure andask for Mrs. Winsloe’s Soothing Syrup, and take no other kind marl7 ebtl & wky

France, Encland and Canada.

(Montreal Garette.)

There is one point to which the new French premier might profitably devote some attention—the unprovement of France's relations with England. This is a subject to which we, Canadians, are natnr- ally not indifferent. A large proportion of the population of the Dominion and the great majority of the population of Quebec is of French descent. Practically, tor many years past, we have a representative at the French metropolis, who, while loyal to the British Crown, is by race and speech in sympathy with his kindred—the children of la belle France. To him and the more than a milhon of French-Canadians and the more than three millions of British Canadians with whose interests he is charged it isof importance that no break. should occur in the peaceful relations which have happily continued for more than two generations between Canada’s ancient and present movutherland. But there is a clique of politicians in France wh, apparently without any aim save such as may be prompted by vague national an- tipathy, are constantly trying to provoke quarrels between the two countries. Every incident that may be aggravated into inten- tional slight, every petty misconception on the part of officials, the complaints of the Australians, international altercations in Egypt, alleged sympathies with Germany on the one hand, or with Russia on the other, are skilfully used to foster ill-will and to lead, if possible, to open disagree- ment.

As the telegrams have informed us, the question of the New Hebrides was one of the topics that came up at the colonial con- ference. We were glad to see that it was discussed from a standpoint at once fair to our fellow-colonists and without needless distrust or evil animus towards France. The very different position in which we stand to the latter powerfrom that occu- pied by the people of Australia indicates the exceeding gravity of the task which statesmen, who would safeguard the unity of the Empire by any kind of federation, have before them. If our fellow-colonists made claims which France could not recognize, or vice versa, and a quarrel grew out of the controversy, of course we should be expected to side with our fellow-citizens at the antipodes. How much such a complication is to be deprecated we need not urge. But the tone adupted at the conference shows that the provocation is not likely to come from England or her colonies, and we sincerely trust that it will be reciprocated on the other side of the channel.

The Egyptian problem has remained com- paratively quiescent since Lord Salisbury spoke his mind so plainly in November last, but opportunities for its revival are never long absent. The last cause of trouble arose through the dismissal vor re- signation—it was both in fact—of a French- man who wasone of the judges of the international a of appeal. Originally this body was mae up of one judge from each of the great powers, but three years ago a demand was made for additional judges, and of the two appointed one was of French origin. Some time ago the original French judge, in the face ef cer- tain charges, resigned his post and left Egypt in haste, and, as the extraordinary press of business which had called for the additional judges had meanwhile disappear- ed, the Egyptian authorities decided not to fill the place of M. Sarazeaud, the abscond- ing judge. They held that France is fairly represented by the supernumerary of French origin nominated in 1884, but against this view the French Government protested on the ground that M, Sarzeaud was the only French judge, duly appointed as such, and that a successor of the same nationality should, therefore, take his place. The case has no great interest for us, save as showing the sort of temper which has been encouraged by certain French statesmen, wherever England is directly or indirectly concerned. Now, if

the new ministers would endeavor’ to soften down such asperities and to put the relations between France and Great

Britain on a securely friendly basis, they would be acting a wise part which would ultimately be far more beneficial to France than any advantage whieh such bickering is likely to gain. A French cabinet, profess- ing and carrying out such a policy,would be welcomed all over Canada.

A Gift from Charles Sumner.

Toinvited guests of the family there is something beautiful in the warmth of Miss Bridgman’s hospitality. She considers it her privilege to help entertain---a privilege granted without the slightest hesitation. She has several pretty pieces of china, plates and cups and saucers. These always appear when there is company, and the guest most to be honored has the most ele- gant cup and silver spcon and fork bearing the inscription : ‘‘L. B. B. 1854,”’—a pre- cious possession surely, for they are the gift of Charlies Sumner. After the meal Miss Bridgman, like a careful housewife, herself washes her china and silver, and thus she is able to keep it whole and beau- tiful from year to year. There are many high days and holidays, when the china is used, for Miss Bridgman has a great res- pect for the custom of observing birthdays, and always knows when such occasions come round,—From an Illustrated Sketch of Miss Laura B. Bridgman (the blind denf- nvute), in the American Magazine.
