_ DENTISTRY.
FENHE cry of “Hard times” and ‘No
money” is universal. Yet people lose their teeth, and in consequence their health. Again, recent improvements have cheapened the costof Dental material ; —considering which I have decided to reduce my prices, and for three months from the date of this I will make a sett of teeth for Ten Dollars. Parts of setts correspondingly cheap. More than this—I will use good material and guar- antee, in every case, a perfeet fit.

Sir John McDonald.
| The special correspondent of the London, G. B., Daily News in Canada writes: ‘‘ At Toronto [ had the advantage of being pres- ent at a political meeting. Nothing if not political at ail times, Canadians just now are almost monomaniacs on the subject. For several years the depression of trade and the mis‘akes of a Liberal Government irritated the people and converted them to protectionist views. ‘They saw their indus; tries ruined by American competition, their factories shut, their commerce curtailed. Gradually they began to declare that ‘ free trade all on one side’ was a delusion, and to clamor for a revision of the tariffs. To this call the Conservative Party was not deaf, and, announcing a ‘ National Policy,’ declared that the trade of the country must be protected at all hazards. An election took place, the advocates of change were returned by an enormous ma- jority, and Sir John McDonald placed in power. It was he whom I had the oppor- tunity of hearing at Toronto. Tall, spare, of very much the same build as the great English Premier, and witha very similar cast of countenance, Sir ‘‘John A,” as he is fondly called by his supporters, gave within a very few moments of the com- mencement of his speech, proof of no or- dinary humour. There was a_ twinkle in his eve as he alluded to the members of the late Government as ‘‘ not all bad alike, and he apologized for the blunders of the now fallen Prime Minister, and made ex- cuses for his misrule, and in his own defini- tion of what must hereafter be the policy of his party there was sufficient vagueness and word fencing to give him rank as a efli- cient speaker. Where he merged from the statesman into the Canadian was when presently he attacked his opponents for their ‘‘ corruption.” It was evident that he thonght strong words necessary to the effect of his speech; he had clearly lacked the training which a study of European debates would have supplied. Yet, withal he was a forcible, clever orator, justifying in many ways the high opinion which his compatriots have of him, and giving pro- mise of at least a vigorous attempt to sulve the difficulties which beset the Dominion which the Marquis of Lorne has just been called upon to rule.
Abdication Victoria.
Possible of Qusen
The Ottawa Herald remarks that rumors concerning the possible abdication of Queen Victoria are again revived in England, but those who make a study of political events in Europe will not be inclined to place much reliance upon these statements. The con- dition of affairs at home and abroad were never worse calculated for a change of this kind than at present, and itis not reason- able to suppose, even were Her Majesty in- clined to take this step, that her advisers would allow her to doso. The personal character of the Queen is not such as to warrant the idea of her desiring to retire from the chief place in the State, nor do we think the people would regard such a move- ment with favor. However, as the story has obtained considerable circulation, we give it in the words of the London cor- respondent of the Liverpool Post :—
‘*T have just received a piece of news which [ should have been inclined to treat with incredulity, if 1 had not obtaimed it from a quarter worthy of high consideration. 1 am informed that on the reassembling of Parliament in February an intimation will be made in both houses that, in consequence of her recent bereavement and from other considerations, also of a personal nature, the Queen has decided to relinquish the reins of power in favor of the Prince of Wales as Prince regent. Of course, I give you this extraordinary intelligence'for what it is worth. Imay, however, be permitted to remind you that there have already been Regents at the head of the English realm, and : although we should all deplore the day that witnessed the abnegation by the Queen of that power which she has wielded with such singular wisdom, yet it would be im- possible, at the same, not to feel that, in being transferred to the Prince of Wales, the sovereignity had passed into hands al- ready familiarized with the exercise of royal and national duties.”

An Amusing Assault Case.
Considerable amusement is being caused in Quebec by the evidence in the jury trial of the Queen vs. Griflith--John Jones, private prosecutor—for aggravated assault. It appears that in June last the defendant was married to Mrs, Vannovus, a wealthy widow. Jones, hearing of the intended wedding wrote to Bishop Williams, claim- ing to be engaged to the lady himself, and therefore _ insisted that the _cere- mony could not take place. Griffith, hear- ing ef this, called upon Jones and gave him a severe thrashing. Hence the present trial. The court is daily crowded to hear the evidence. Mr. Jones is nearly fifty years of age, and swears that he is an or- phan, and looked to the Bishop for fatherly advice and guidance. He would never have written him but that he fully considered himself engaged to Mrs. Vannovus. He acknowledged that he had not spoken to the lady for four years. The trial was | brought to an end last week. Verdict of simple assault was returned, and the de- fendant was fined $20 by the court.
The Czar has appointed a special High | Commission to elaborate a scheme to re- duce the expenditures of the Government.
Miscellaneous.
The Hon. Peter Mitchell is again spoken of as Chairman of the Montreal Harbor Commission.
Her Royal Highness the Princess Louise has consented to become patroness of the Montreal Church Home Association.
It has been suggested that the chapter mottoes in George Elliot’s later works are principally her hushand’s running com- mentary on her work.
The idea of presenting H. R. H. the Duke of Connaught with a hunting-box, fully furnished and ready for occupation, seems to be growing into general favor in Ireland.
Among the measures promised the Pre- vincial Legislature is a bill respecting Pub- lic Schools, by Mr. Crooks. Mr. Miller has given notice that he will move a resolution to restrict the powers of School Trustees so as to allow the taxpayers some voice in de- termining the amount to be annually raised for school purposes.
The intensity of the recent frost and snow storm in Scotland has not been equalled for many years. On the Levan, in Fifeshire, last week, a pair of favorite swans were found frozen te death ina milldam in the parish of Markinch. Such an occurrence has never before been known in that part of the country.
A remarkable improvement has taken place in the health of Dean Stanley, in con- sequence of his recent tour in the United States. In apgearance and manner he is many years younger than he was before he left England. Ic is therefore not surpris- ing to hear that he should contemplate re- crossing the Atlantic at no very distant date.
The following notice has been given by Lord Bateman in the House of Lords :— “‘On an early day next session, to call the attention of their Lordships’ House to the past and present operations of the Free Trade policy of this country without reci- procity and to its effect upon the various home native industries, and the revenue and taxation of the kingdom, and to move a resolution.”
Queen Victoria has had the kindly cus- tom for many years of receiving at Osborne House on Christmas Eve the poor old peo- ple and children of the adjacent villages, and ef presenting to them, in person, gifts of foodand clothing. This year the Queen’s bereavement led to her complete seclusion, and her benefactions were dispensed by the hands of Princess Beatrice. The old poor women of the neighborhood were presented with dresses, the boys received good warm scarfs, and the girls shawls, the young people being also regaled with cake.
Railroad building in the United States was brisk during last year, the number of miles constructed exceeding that of any year since 1873. In 1872, 7,340 miles of railroad were built ; in 1873 the mileage fell to 8,883; in 1874, 2,025 miles were built, and it was not until 1875, two years after the great crash, that construction of this kind touched bottom with 1,561 miles. In 1876 there was increase to 2,460 miles; in 1877 it fell again to 2,281, and in 1878 it rose to 2,206. The Western States have the largest mileage of new roads, Minnesota, Towa and Colorado heading the list.
Col. Alston, a brave confederate, and a life-long Democrat, of Georgia, verifies the statements concerning the disgraceful prison system of Georgia. The prisoners are hired out to contractors, among the latter being ex-Governor Brown, Senator Jehn B. Gor- don, and others. lt is charged that the prisoners are mercilessly treated, causing a very high death rate. The men and women are chained together, and most of the fe- male convicts are about to become mothers. Senator Gordon has written to his partners, desiring to be freed from his contracts, and itis believed other humane meu will follow his example.
Tennyson is writing a poein on the death of the Princess Alice. A German corre- spondent writes to a London paper that she only offended the people of Hesse-Darmstadt by two things—her remarkable economy and her introduction of the English Sunday. The Sunday representations of the opera were sacrificed in Darmstadt, to the great vexation not only of the citizens, but also of thousands of Frankforters who used weekly to arrive in the city, for the sake of the opera, by the Sunday afternoon train. In spite of her noble beneficence she rigidly ab stained from expending any of her English paid annual revenue upon the Germans among whom she lived. It was regularly placed in the London Bank.
