Exhibitions.

Turovanour Canapa the prospects of returning prosperity are remarkably good. Fairs and Exhibitions have been held in all quarters of Ontario this , and fall they have, in every instance, been well attended by an active, energetic class of farmers, mechanics and artizans. The Halifax Re- porter, commenting on this, says — "All this indicates life, real life. The move- ment of the people is unmistakable. On all sides in that Empire Province the people have taten heart, and are energetically pushing forward agriculture and the manu- factures--twe of the three great branches of industry by which prosperity comes to a people. The careful and enlightened at- tention with whieh the farmers and the artizans study the latest improvements of an age iost rapid in the improvements made, shows that they are determined to be abreast with the same classes in other countries. No doubt the presence of the Princess Louise had a wonderfully stimu- lating influence over three larger exhibi- tions, and under that influence the women of Canada will, to a considerable extent, develope the virtues of economy and skill in housekeeping, as well as the graces of an education which includes a large share ef what are very properly called ‘‘accomplish- ments.”

The result already appears, and these 106 fairs and exhibitions in Ontario show how rapidly the men and women of Canada im- prove—with what zest they throw them- selves into the task of working out for themselves, and therefore for their coun- try, a high character for enterprise, energy, skill and shrewdness. If the heartiness with which the women of Canada have responded to the example ef Princess Louise is continued, then a generation of girls will grow up to whom the accomplishments of the kitchen will be as familiar as the ac- complishments of the drawing reom—and we shall have the Bachelors of the United States invading the country to carry off our best jewels—the young women, who know how to cook as well as how to dance, how to manage a household as well as how to manage a lover. -

Whether this result will bo produced or not, certainly the life and energy of which these 106 fairs and exhibitions of one pro- vince aro the expression, are signs heartily to be welcomed—telling as they do that the lethargy of the past few years has passed away; that the people have got heart ayain—that they are’determined to se- cond to the best of their ability the efforts of the Ottawa Government to place the indus- tries of the land, the labor of the country, in the best possible position to enable it to make the most of the vast and varied re- sources of the country.

Wheat.

Tur St. John Sun commenting on the lirge increase in the wheat crop of. the Maritime Provinces says: The next most important consideration, after the raising of wheat, is the proper grinding into flour. The grist-imills of our Provinees, as a rule, are inferior as regards their flour preducing capabilities. There aro many which pro- duce good oatmeal or buckwheat flour, but few whieh turn out first-class flour. Of late years, we have grown so little wheat and bought so much

—_— Wxodus.”

Tur Yfalifax Chronicle, the St, John

Telegraph and the Patriot are much ex-

ercised over the exodus of people from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island for the United States. They attribute this exodus to the bad effect of The Halifax Herald, in answer to them, submits the following facts for their consideration :-—

ist. Nova Scotia has ejnoyed jug-handled free trade for the past fourteen years. The United States have enjoyed Protection—the highest in the world—for the same period.

Ond, Thousands of people left “Nova Scotia permanently during those years to take their residences and earn livelihoods in the Protec- tion-ruined country. ;

8rd. Those who are now leaving the Prov- ince are nearly all people who were driven out of the eountry during the fourteen years of jug-handled famine.

If they will consult the ‘“‘arrivala” for th° months of June,July and August, they will find that hundreds of Nova Scotians living at ser- vice in the United States returned home for their holidays those months. These people are now returning, and with very few excep- tions, it is only these people, that are now leaving the country. Any argument they can find in these facts in favor of jug-handled misery, they are perfectly welcome to.

Irish Rent Agitation.

The growing discontent among the tenant farmers of Ireland has now reached a pitch unanticipated by the majority of observers in this country. The feeling a mong the farmors is so deeply seated and so wide-

spread that consequences of the most serious character are to be expected. Within the last few days very large meetings of farm- ers have been held in various places in Ire- land, and although at some of them perfect order and decorum were preserved, an ex- pression of feeling on the part of the people to resist the payment of rents till their claims were granted, was unmistakably made manifest . A great tenants rights meeting was held at Listowell, at which 15,000 persons were present. One of the speakers at the meeting was Sir Rowland Blennerhasset, County Kerry. At this meeting, which, although greatly excited, was still perfectly orderly and well conducted, the farmers reiterated their reasons for refusing payment of any rent whatever until the landlords acceeded to the terms which the tenants demanded, and which,‘n their opinion, were just and reason- able, or until Parliament should pass a statute which would secure to them the rights which they now demanded. -4<—>P-

Ministers and the Cabul Disaster.

The Times thinks ‘‘there can be no reas- able doubt that the movement upon Cabul will be successful. What is to be done afterwards will depend upon the condition

in which we find the country, and upon the moral effect of the expedition. The country is not bound to any particular line of policy, and when Parliament meets all parties will be free to pronounce upon the future, the more frankly and boldly because two main questions will then be placed out ef the reach of controversy. “Those who suppose that if the country were at once consulted, a reversal of the policy of the past year would be resolved upon, and a withdrawal of the British power in India to the frontier of the Indus would be sanc- tioned, must certainly forget the history of our dealing with China and of Lord Palm- erston’s Chinese policy. The alleged aggression of Lord Palmerston was denounced as fiercely as even Mr. Grant Duff denounces the policy of Lord Beaconsfield. But when the country was appealed to the verdict was in favor of Lord Palmerston. Nor-when Lord Palmers- ton fell from.power did his successers ven- ture to reverse his decisions and to surren- der what he had won. The concessions wrung from China by the Western Powers have never been abandoned, though intrigue and violence have been used to procure their abandonment. The most exclusive and jealous of empires has been forced to open its borders to intercourse with European States, and we see no reason why the Afghans should be able to make a more effectual standing against civilized diplom- acy and commerce than the Chinese. In Afghanistan, as in China, no point that has once been conceded by the party of ex clusion can be surrendered. With patience and firmness we may hope that the Afghans, like the Chinese, will after a short time come to accept the inevitable. At any rate neither at Cabul nor at Pekin can the British Government afford to draw back before the menace of assassination.” — ome

‘Affairs in Turkey.

Great alarm has recently been caused at Philippopolis by the news of a Moham- medan conspiracy having been discovered

in the districts of Tatar Bazardjik, Kazan- lik, Eski Sagra and Haskioi. Copies of an appeal to the Mohammedan population to take up arms against the Bulgarians, have been eeized by the police. This document deelares that the Mahommedans of Bul- garia are still kept out of their property by the Bulgarians, that many of them have been murdered, and the remainder of them are treated as aliens and have no security whatever for life or property, but that they are still strong enough to punish those whom their magnaniinity has allewefi to live. Since the 15th ult. troops have been daily arriving at Adrianople from Con- stantinople. ‘here are already about 75 battalions in the Adrianople district, while 180 field guns, 42 siege guns and 28 squad- rons of cavalry have been posted between San Stefano and Hermanly. It is believed that these treops, which form an army of abeut 40,000 men, are destined for the occupation of Eastern Roumelia in the event of serious disturbance breaking out in that Province.

Ir 1s THE ‘old, old story” in reference to the fire at Deadwood, Dakota Territory, which was briefly noticed in our despatches

the other day. The fire department was very ineflicient, and the firs spread with wonderful rapidity. All along its course terrific explosions ef gunpowder, petroleum and liquor were frequent ; buildings were blown into atoins ; hook and ladder appar- atus and hose carriages were the first to burn, leaving nothing but a few feet of worthless hose with which to battle the de- vouring element. The new water works were put to their full capacity with but little success in subduing the flames, on account of the scarcity of water. The hill sides were almost a solid sheet of flames, and the water from Boulder Ditch could not be had. Otherwise considerable pro- perty would probably be saved, as the ditch ran almost directly over the worst spot. The wildest excitement prevailed on account of the fearful force of the flames. People thought of little besides saving their own lives ; hundreds escaped with only their night clothes. Every team within miles of the city was called into service to help to save what could be got out. Inmall, one hundred and eighty-five houses were de- stroyed, and two thousand people were left homeless,—many ef them destitute. wissen iigelerhge

Tue Seminole Indians say that when the Great.Spirit made the earth-he also made three men, all of whom were fair com-

plexioned, and led them to the margin of a small lake and bade them leap in and wash. One obeyed, and came out purer and whiter than before ; the second hesitated » moment, during which time the water, agitated by the first, had become muddled, and when he bathed he came up coepper- colered ; the third did not fleap in until the water had become black with mud, and he came out dark in coler. Then the Great Spirit laid before them three packages, and out of pity for his?misfortunate color, gave the black man first-choice. He took hold of each of the packages, and having felt the weight, chose the heaviest ; the copper- colored man chose the next heaviest,leaving the' white man the lightest. When the packages were opened, the first was found to contain spades, hoes, and all the implements of la- bor ; the second enwrapped hunting, fish- ing, and warlike apparatus ; the third gave the white man pens, ink and paper, the en- gines of the mind, the means of mutual mental improvement, the foundation of the white man’s superiority. nikseisieaiiiaiiailistatad

A curious story comes from Newcastle, Ont. A young woman was imprudent enough to become a mother before a wife. After try- ing in vain to get the reputed father to recog- nize her claims upon him she left the child at the house of his father with whom the young man resided. The grand-mother repudiated the burden thus thrown on her, and had the mother arrested and brought before the authorities for child desertion, and the author- ities, after the regular examination, committed the wicked parent to the Cobourg jail forthe crime. But the babe still remained, and the grandmother, conceiving the Reeve of the municipality to be officially the foster parent of such unwelcome waifs, carried it to the domicile of His Worship and there deposited it. The Reeve, in turn, grew angry on receiv- ing such a gift, and had the grandmother ar- rested for child desertion, and cemmitted her with the miserable mother for trial. But there is the child yet.

AtTHouGH the ‘‘Great Kastern” still stands alone in point of size among the great ocean steamships, some of the British passenger steamers, which have been constructed of late, approach her in size and exceed her in speed. The largest of these vessels is the ‘‘Orient,”’

.}which was launched the other day on the

Clyde from the yard of John Elder & Ce., being the two huudred and twenty-fourth vessel launched by these enterprising builders. The displacement weight of the ‘‘Orient’’ is 9,500 tons, her registered tonnage is 5,400, her length is 445 feet, her breadth 46, and her depth 35 feet. The ‘Orient’ is intended for

the Australian trade and is expected to make
