Talleyrand and Hamilton. }
In 1794 Talleyrand, ordered to leave Eng- land and unable to return to France, vis- ited the l/nited States. His impressions of the country and government were given in a long letter printed in France some years ago and were interesting as the views of a shrewd observer and a keen judge of men. It has never been supposed that he took any part in the course of events in America at that time, or that his relations with Ham- ilton—a man quite as individual as him-
nature. A manuscript among the Hamilton papers, however, connects Talleyrand with one of the incicents of Washington’s ad- ministration, an incident 2s puzzling as it was interesting—the removal of Edmund Randolph.
Mr. Conway has given the layman’s view of the matter, and guided parily by senti- ment has sought todefend Randolph at the expense even of the consistency of every person connected with the affair. it would appear that Hamilton laid tle intercepted dispatch of Fauchet before Talleyrand and asker his opinion. The result was a state- ment or critique in Talleyrand’sovn hand, \ but unsigned. [t is thus the opinion ofa trained diplomat, and there is no reason for supposing that it was biased against Randolph. Ifthis opinion reached Wrsh- ington, it is not strange that he should have cut loose from Randolph, and certainly the Frenchman’s opinion makes short work { with the skillfully woven but inadequate

ANCIENE WRITING ON
A KOCK.
Remarkabl. *tiscovery in Bri ish Columbla
A Victoria, B. © , special says: During a recent bazardons journey tothe unex- plored interior of Vancouver Island, Mr. F. W. Laiog, M. A, a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society of London, made a r-markable discovery, a dweovery which is certain to excite the curiosityof stu-
dents and scientists throughout all the civilized world. The explorers were
crossing Great Central Lake, the largest body of fresh water on the islasd, with a length of thirty niles, when the enrious markings on the face of a giant rock at- tracted Mr. Laing’s aitention. The ecances were stopped and _ investigation disclosed that a message had heen left by some prehistoric dwetlers of the like deep traced in the imperishable rock. The hierog]vhies forming the inseripiion were arranged in five parallel lines, somewhat «.milar to a musica! staff, while sbove wa- what apparently had been intended for a oz of woud aud a growing tree. A thire figure pieced at the right hand resembled nothing so much as a teven-branched candJest ck. The impression, despite the fact that centuries mu-t have passed since it was cheiled by some one whose race} evea is now a forgetiea veople, remains c'ear and distinct. Photographs wer: taken of the reek and sketcues made of the interesting inscription. They have been sent, among cther-,to Dr. Franz Boaz of the Smithsonian Institute, who is vow -tudyipg them.
—A Rat Pertaye, Outario, special sa7s Chere are gold mines at the bottom of the Lake o: the Woods. Recently an Ottawa syndicate survesel the surface of the water and took vp a number of water !ots in the neighborhood of Snitava Istand. Water tight cribs were sunk to the bottom
ofthe lake and thes mining operations were bezun. That was some days age, anievcr since great secrecy has bean
maintained concerning the progress of the work. It tax now leakel out, however, that the tirst day down the mmers strack ihe famous Sultana vein, running true and strong beneath the water. The same vein is also reportel t> hive strusk on the island.

The Ca 1adian-Australian 8. 8. Aorangli’s
Malden Veyage—Aroand the Werld Trip*
The addition during the coming spring of a new steamshp to the Canadian- Austral:an line plying between Vancouver, B.C., and Australia offers an excellen: opportunity for making a ’round the worl trip cueaply and expeditiously. The | ne, which now consists of the magnifisent :teamers Miowera and Warrimoo, is to be strengthened by the Aorang!, an ocean greyhound, now being rebuilt —a vessel of 4,250 toas register and 5,000 horse power, which is to be commanied bv Captain Hepworth, R. N. R., formerly of the Warrimov. The Aorang’, which ig near- ing completion, is expected to leave [Eng- laud about the 17th of March, and afier touchiog at Teneriffe and Cape Town, will cerces the Indian Ocean to Melbourne aed Sydney, Australia, thence ca'ling on the rail up the Pacific at Suva, Fij ; Hono- lulu, Uawaii; Victoria, 3.C, and Van- couver, where connection is made with the Sanadian Pacifis across the continent.
The Aorangi is expected to reach Van- couver about the léth of June, and the whole trip froin start to fin’s) will oce py Jess than four mooths. These from the Provinces who intend taking advantage of this chance to girdle the Globe,can crs she Atlantic frum either St. Jobu, Halifax or the American Ports and join the ex :ur- sionists in the Old Country.
There will not be manyfdilays en route, but at severa’ intere-ting points, sioppage will be wade of s :flicient duration to enable the tourists to see what there is to be seen and acquire an insight into the manners
and customs of far-away people. Not the least interesting stage of the
journey wiii be the crossing of the North American Continent at a delightful sea-cn of the year. The ride of six bundred miles through the Mountain Ranges of British Columbia and the trip across the great plains and prairies of the Canadian Northwest in June,is a delightful ex- perience and enables the tourist to com- pare his impressions of our own country with those fornied of other and ttrange countries which have been visited.
The Aorangi’s trip will doubtless be a pleasant one and itis more than likely that many Canadians will be inclu ied io the passenger list.
—Mail and Eapire: The arder that is shown by Mr. Lanrier’s party in prozecut- ing cases of alleged corrupt or uplas fal practices is greatly to be commended. But we must remind Mr. Tarte that his friend, Mr. Petit, lately a candidate for the house of commons, has not been proseented for the corrupt offer made in the “busivess is business” letter. The only pro erution that has grown out of it is Mr. Tarte’s criminal action against the man who made the case public. And in this case all the efforts of the defendant to force the case to trial have not ben successful.

Bare, low, tawny hiils, With bluer heights beyond,
And the air is sweet with spring, But when will the earth respond?
Prairie that roils for leagues, Dusky and golden pale,
Like a stirless sea of waves, Unbroken by ship or eail.
The hollows are dark with brush And Lilack with the wash of showers And ragged with bleaching wreck Of the ranks cf the tall sunflowers.
No cloud in the blue, no stir
shrill of the wind in the grass,
£nd the meadow lark’s note, and the call Of the wind borne crows that pass.

TREES IN THE STREETS.
A Society In New York Cit§ to Beartify the Aventes.
Without doubt the Tree Planting as- sociation of New York has undertaken amost beneficent work. So far as it proves to be practicable, it will contrib- ute as much as any other scheme that could be projected for the embellish- ment of the city. The incorporators are
| to a considcrable extent the same as the | incorporate
rs of the Botanic garden— men well Luown for public spirit aud intelligence, Thus the society begins uncer ihe most favorable possible aus-
pices, for cauticn and discrimination as
well as for erterpriso.
Of course its work will be largely ex- perizr cutal, There ate streets, even resi- dentiul streets, in New York in which it may not be wise to attempt tree plant- ing at all, for the reason that the space caprot ke spared, either from the side- walk or the roadway, for the boxes that must protect the young trees or for the trunks of such aslive tomaturity. Even in those streets in v bich there is room enovgh for trees there are many places in whieh no trees can thrive by renson of the lack of sunshine, and, indeed, there are scarcely any streets in New York below the park in which trees can be expected tc do so weil as in & place like Washington, where the streets are £0 wide and the buildings so low as to give all trees that may be planted a fair chance for life. Almost the only streets in New York that are as favorably sit- uated are the Broadway boulevard and the Riverside drive. The boulevard has been until within the past few nionths a Gitmal monument to municipal neg- lect. Now it is kept in oréer, but time is required to replace the trees that havo been alicwed te die, and the double row of trees that were meant “high over- arched to embower’’ does not embower at all, but presents upon the whole a scraggy and dismal epectacle.
This, of course, comes mainly from neglect, for there is no reason why trees in this thorougafare shovld not thrive if they can be mure to thrive anywhere in New York. The general introduction of electric lighting will do mouch fer the trees unlces gas is still carried through the ground for fuel. Itis given out that uncontaminated earth will be used for the sctting cf the new trees, but, judg-« ing from what we have experienced in the opening of Fifth avenue tora sewer and the previous openings of other ave- nues for laying cables, the percolation of the gas through the fresh soil would be a mutter of only weeka at the longest. The new association is plainly destined to encounter many obstacles. If it suc- cecds in gaining eyon a partial victory over them it will entitle itself to the rratitude of all New Yorkers.—New York Times,
Masical Recitation,
Although the Quakers, as a sect, do not favor music, regarding it as a profit- less amusement indulged in by the world’s people, there are occasionally stories told which show thst the love of rusic sometimes stealr its way into a Quaker household in spite of discipline,
George Thompson, the famous English abolitionist, while lecturing on the abo- lition of slavery in the British provinces, stopped one night with a Quaker family. He was a great lover cf music, and at that time was a good singer.
During the evening he sevg “Ot Ia the Stilly Night,’’ which waa listened to with the closest attention.
In the morning his Quaker hostess appeared somewhat uneasy. She wished to bear the song again, but it wonld hardly do, she thoughi, for her to re- quest its repetition, At last, however, hex desire overcame her scruples,
