CONSISTING IN PART OF

4,200 Yards Suitings & Overccatings

In 1878 the Mackenzie Government, hav ing got new light, proposed to build rail ways all over the North West, by means of land bonuses, about which several Grits vrew enthusiastic This showed that they knew the land was realiy rich and temp’ ing.

In 1879 Sir John Macdonald inturmed Mr. Mickenzie that tuller investigations had revealed the fact that instead of 100, 000,000 acres of good land, there were ip the North West at least 150,000,100 or 160,000,000 acres of availabie Jand, and Mr. Mackei.zie dared not question the statement.

In 1880 M-. Mackenzie, in spite of all his personal kuow edge and pulitical policy, and inspite of the information given by Sir John Macdonald, spent hours in trying to prove that half of the very best region of the North- west was ‘‘erid.” He did this in order to prove that the Government was wreng in tryiug to build the railway without taxing the people.

" thet very year 1880, within a few weeks, if not days, of the delivery of Mr. Mackenzie’s speech, Professor Macoun ex- ploded forever the theory of ‘‘aridity,” by discovering that the ‘’arid’” regiow was really of the richest character. The Grit organ accepted Professor Mzconn’s views and professed to be glad of the discovery.

Nevertheless, Mr. Mackenzie never apologised or explained. In 1881 and 1882 he let his unpatrio ic speech ren ain on record without explanation. In 183 the Grit organ, for the purpose of injuring the Pacific railway, renewed Mr. Micke: zie’s scandalous statements, and for a year con- tinued to slander the soil of the North- west,

In 1884, in the session, Mr. Blake re- peated Mr. McKenzie’s ‘‘aridity’ story for the express purpose of damaging the financial operations of the Pacific Railway. Mr. Blake did that in full view of #1] that we have pointed from h# 1873 to 1880,and actlon was¢imply a bit of dishonest strategy unworthy of even # stock operator.

In the summer of 1884, Mr. McKenzie, after visiting the country, is compelled to abandon the ‘‘aridity” business. Now the organ in trying to escepe from the shocking responsibiluy of having libel d the country, and is trying to carry its party with it.

That is what we call the history of a crime—a crime agains: Canada, a crime against the North West. Mr. Blake owes an apology to Parliament. Mr Mackenzie owes an apology to Parliament Aud the or- gan owes an apulogy to the public. We ven- ture to foretell that these debts will uot be paid,

_ — -s.ee---—- Eugenie in Paris. THE FX-EMPRESS OF THE FRENCH VISITS THE

SCENE OF HER FOKMER GLORY AND

POWER.

(Paris Correspondence New York Telegraw..)

A few days ago, had you happened to he walking in the Chawp Elise s, you m ght have seen a Jady dressed in biack, driving from the Are de Triomphe in an open carriage. Her hair was white, and she seemed prematurely aged. Yet there was a quiet dignity— perhaps a mejesty—in her bearing that ought to have attracted at- tention, though it did not. The lady was no other than the ex-Empress. She had lengthened out the stay in Parts more than she intended, and was perhaps re- turning from the avenue which once bore her name to her silent mansion of her hus and hostess, the Duc and Duchess of Monchy.

What strange, heart-broken, despairing emotions must not poor Eugenie experience during these flying visits to the city iv which she once reigned supreme. How familiar a!! must seem ta her; and yet how changed. The streets are wuch as they were that fatal dav in September when the hews brought to Paris from Sedan warned her to prepare for rnin and exile. The Bois is as green, the Boulevards as lively. Guignol still struts and shrieks under the leafy chestnuts adjoining what was the Cirque de l’Imperatrice. But the children who watch him are not the boys and girls who played in the Champs Elysees in Eugenie’sa day. The drama isthe same, bur the showman has altered. Paris is but! still, but its masters have vanished; the ‘itile prince is dead, Napoleon a» dead, Merrimee is dead, and Eugenie herself only breathes the air of the Boulevards on tolerance.

the power of the aero: aut to go up or down until he finds a current of air moving in the horizontal dirccuon he wishes. Militery critics attribute great importance to this discovery, because in time of war a balloon will be able to reach the enemy's territory and ascend again without requiring a fresh supply of gas.

The Toronto temperance people have been vigorously pushing prosecutions against the occupants of booths at the recent «<bibition for selling liquor ecntrary to the = statute. There were six- teen occupants and it was contended by the exhibition association that as they were all under one roof and had com- uiunication with each other one license in favor of the Secretary of the Association was sufficient, the sixteen occupants being merely his bartenders. ‘Tomiing’s ease was taken asa test one, and, after several ad- journments, he was fined twenty dollars and costs or thlity days’ imprisonment.

In the Women’s Christian Temyerance Union Convention held at St, Louis, on the 26th inst., Mrs. Millard reporied « platform «flirming Ue principle of tetal at stinence, of gospel temperance and evan- gelical methods, against high end low licenses, of Sabbath observances, of scien- iifie temperance instruction in schools, in reference to the constitutional «cffct of aleohol and, tobacco, of national bands of hope aud juvenile temperance organizations, of temperance work im Sunday schocla, of temperance day in the week of prayer, against liquor treflic canied «n in dining railroad cars, und cailiny attention to the objrcuoveble proximity of smoking ond sleeping compartments in palace and sleep- ing cats. A resointion favoring the ballot for women was referred back to the com- mittee for amendment and a resolution in favor of prohibition was laid over. A mass meeting followed.

When the faculty and stidenis of the Worcester, Mass. Institute met in the chapel for prayers on Tinredey morning, it was discovered that a horse, the pro- perty ot Prof. M. P. Higgins, cecu; ied one of the pews, The ammmal had evidently been taken up two flights of winding stairs the night beture, his teet being niuffled +o prevent discovery by the night watchmen. The professors were at a loss huwever to re- move the intruder, ard he was allowed to vecupy the quarters all day. In the even- ing tiey sent for a veterimaiy surgeon,wbo, with a number of assistants, securely blavketed the animal, tied his feet to- gether, blinafulded him, and slid him down the siaus on skids. The boys gathered about in gieat numbers m the darkness to watch the procerdings and cheer the exit of the beast. They made so much noise that a equad ot police was summoned to scatter the atuden's. The buildings and grounds were securely guarded until the rescue was safely accomplished.

A London journal of a religious turn of mind took the vote of its subscribers todecide whe was the most popular preacher in the world—-each subscriler sending ten names in the order of preference. A prize was offered to the person who sent in these which mst nearly agreed to the common consensus, The result would be that each

man would vote ter the preachers for whom he would suppose the most other subscribers would vote, The result

of the election was that Rev. HP. Lidden, the ekqunt, learned and orthodox Canon ot St. Paul's was at the head of the ust, cosery tuiluwed by Rev. C. UH. Spur- goon, Aiter this came a big gap and then Patker, McLaren and Farier pretty well together. Far in the rear was another wio, B.echer, Bishop Magee and Canon Kuox Laitile. Five cf the first ten were Kypiscopaliane, The first Methodist stood twenty-secord in the list. But then it was an Episcopalian constituency,
