Among the many inevitable anomalies of an old social system (says the Pal/l Mall Gazette), none surely is stranger than the punishment daily inflicted upon a man fer being poor. He is made to feel, whenever he buys a pound of meat or an ontice of tea, how mueh bis poverty costs him. The dis- advantages arrising from purely economic causes are aggravated by the penaities im- pesed by the law. Litigation, though no longer impossible to the poor man, is yet in a hundred cases so expensive that he wisely prefers to pocket his injuries. The legal expenses in buying a bit of land, ridiculous and unjust in every case ; are absolutely prohibitive tv the moderately poor. A striking illustration of this trait of our system was lately given by Mr. Faweett, in the debate on the Money Orders Bill. Most people know that the lowest cost of sending a post office order, however small the amount, is twe-pence. But few would have believed that last year the number of orders for one shilling would have amount- ed to 94,560. Yet such was the case. Nearly one hundred thousand people, and these necessarily of the poorest class, were taxed 25 per cent. (the penny for postage must not be fergotton)*in discharging small debts or sending assistance to poor relatives. During the same period there were half a a million oréers fer five shillings, and con- siderably more than a milhon for one pound.

A Detroit physician asserts that for a hot weather drink nothing equals buttermilk, It is, he says, both drink and food, and for the laborer is the best known. It supports the system, and even for fever will cure the stom- ach admirably. Itis also a vast valuable do mestic remedy. It will cure dysentery as well and more quickly than any other remedy known. Dysentery is really a constipation, and is the opposite of diarrhea. It is inflam- ation of the bowels with congestion of the ‘yortal circulation’—the- circulation of blood through the bowels and liver. It is ’a disease always prevalent in the summer and autumn. From considerable observation I feel warrant- ed in saying that buttermilk, drunk moderate- ly, will cure every case of it—-certainly when taken in the early stages.’

President Hayes is credited by a newspaper reporter of Reading, Pa.. with having recent- ly told the following anecdote: ‘‘] am not the great temperance man that peopleethink we Forinstance, during the war | carried good brandy with mealithetime. [invented all by myself a very ingenious method of car- rying it. Attached to my saddle was a pair of holsters. In one of them I carried one of my revolvers, and the other I carried at my hip. T invented a can, or canteen, to fit the other holster, and it wasa very clever thing. Weil, every morning I filled that canteen; not a drop of it was Jeft at night, but not a drop passed my lips—not adrop. [ gave it to the poor, famishing soldier.”

Herbert Reeves, son of Sims Reeves, the great English tenor, is thus spoken of by a

correspondent: ‘‘He is a perfect copy of his father. He has his father’s features, long,

black, curly hair, which he also parts in the ‘middle, and an effected gait. He bows, ' smiles, holds his music exactly like his father, and has all his self possession. He has been carefully trained and se successfully coached by bis father, that if you shut your eyes dur- | ing the singing of such a composition as Sebu

bert’s ‘Ave Maria’ by either of them, you would be puzzled to say which had been sing- inc.

teports have been received from Manda- lay of an attempt to assassinate King Thebaw. A ponghee went tothe King’s apartment, where he was stopped and ques. tioned. His replies were very unsatisfac-

‘tory, and he was seized, when a dagger dropped from his garmenis. He had twelve

associates. The pongee and one of his asso- ciates were put to death.

The Montreal Witness (Grit) says rumors were widespread last evening that further news had been privately cabled announcing the complete success of Sir John Macdonald's mission. What truth there is in the story, it is difficult to tell, but stocks were again on the rise to-day ; the whale market selling up at 25 per cent,

Generally over Scotland the crop of goose- berries is light, but of fine quality. Apples and pears are, in the words of growers, ‘‘really nothing.” Plums are a fairly aver- age crop, but all sorts of that frnit at pre- sent on sale are imported from France. On certain soils and where young plants have been set the strawberries is a good average.

Mr. Blake may be a very able wnan, but he says some very inconsistent things. In his Thursday evening's speech in Toronte he pictured the country, after two years of N. P. rule, as no better than when the Government took effice. A few minutes later he said:-‘‘It was claimed by the Conservatives that things were better, and he rejoiced ty see it, but it did not at all fol- low that the improvement was ewing to the National Policy.” He might as well have said: ‘‘I have given yon a graphic picture of a ruined Canada, but you need not be- lieve it as it is not true.” —AS?t.

The potato crop throughent Scotland is this year likely to prove the great crop of the season. ‘There is, up till now, no ap- pearance of disease, and the yield has se far been prolific. On the other hand the turnip crop is, comparatively speaking, rather a failure, the seed,‘ in consequence of unfavorable weather, having in many cases, failed to germinate. Of the cereals, wheat presents at the present time by far the most favorable appearance. Oats, gen- erally speaking, are a light crop as regards the grain, and are much deficient in straw. Barley will be about an average crop.

A delegation of Mexiean veterans, resi- dents of New York and Brooklyn, visited General Haneock.

If it is their pleasnre to elect me, I will give them such a change as will result in uphold-

ing the honor and dignity of our country.’, ’
