Great Britain and Canada. Some anxiety having been expressed on account of the accession tu power of the

Sir Charles Tupper, in his recent speech on the Canada Pacific Railway, said :—

‘‘] may say to some honorable gentle- men, who seem to think that, owing to the defeat of the Beaconsfield administration, all hepe of this Government obtaining any- thing from England is gone, that we have no reason to distrust a Liberal administra- tion any more than a Conservative admin- istration, and I would ask any persen who knows anything of the political principles propounded by gentlemen on this side of

ithe Mouse-whether there is any Liberal

party in England, er any man likely to be in a Liberal Cabinet in England- under Mr. Gladstone, Lord Granville, or Lord Hartingten—who is more advanced in Liberal principles than the gentlemen who sit on this side of the House. There has no doubt been a great change of parties in England, and if the Conservative party have lost power there it has been the means of bringing into power an administration who are no more committed to Liberal principles and a Liberal pelicy than the eentlemen who sit on this side of the House”

It was rumored when Sir Charles Tup- per spoke that Lord Cardwell er Mr. Fors- ter would be Minister for the Colonies. Qn this suppositien, Sir Charles added :—

‘*J believe the interesis of Canada are just assafe in the hands of Lord Cardwell, as Colonial Minister, as they were in the hands of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. Who was Mr. Cardwell? He was tle man who teok up and went heart and soul into the great question of the Confederation of British North America. He discharged that duty in the most able and energetic man- ner, and his successors had merely to carry out what had really been accomplished by the Liberal administration. The Prime Minister of this Government, when in England, had a highly satisfactory conver- sation with the gentleman who is not un- likely to hold the seals of the Colonial Office—Mr. Forster. That gentlenian, the ether day, in his speech delivered at the Colonial Institute, said :—

‘*His friend, Sir John Macdonald, came over te this country not long age to get a guarantee fer the Pacific Railroad, and he (Mr. Forster) was not at all sure that it would notbe advisable if the Mother Country were to be very liberal in these matters.”

It will be seen therefore, that notwith- standing the fall of the Beaconsfield ad- ministration, there is every prospect of the

Government of Canada being sustained and |

upheld in this great national enterprise.

We have here evidence that in the grest|

country to which we owe a social allegience, there is in beth pelitical parties a keen ap-

' preciation ef the importance of our oebtain-

ing the great national highway new under consideration. ”

t has now become ene of the all-engrossing subjects of this time.

The late electioneg in England have un- deubtedly brought out the fact, that de- pocracy is not slumbering in the Old Coun- try. All parties leok on the Gladstone Premiership as a direct Democratic victory, and as a corresponding check on the Disraelian Imperialism. Beaconsfield has been likened te another Arolus, impelled by anether Juno, whirling the point of his spear against the towering meuntain. Gladstone, as the Neptune says, ‘‘Net to him the Empire of the sea, and the awful Trident, but te me by lot are given.”

Nor is it te England alone that we turn ‘oe note the progress of this movement. Germany shews-an increasing number,— a year ago a half a millton votes were cast on the side of Demecracy. Yet the differ- eence between German Democracy, and the nglish Democray is very great. German social warfare is directed against the very existence of the higher classes. The lower classes in that country are in a very pitiable condition, smarting under a misery which they believe is due to criminal neglect on the part of their Governments. Hence their antagonism. -

In England, the warfare is more one of progress, It is not directed against a class, but against the relations of labeur and capital. They see that the gulf between the rich and poor is daily widening; and they ask, does not the master gain teo much and we gain toe little. Does he not get richer while we grow poorer.

The English have learned that in many relations of life, people are best ungeverned, or rather governed by conscience ; that after all, there is wonderfully little that a central Gevernment can do to alleviate misery.

No nation possesses such a heritage ef political wisdem as she. Nene paid so hand-

somely in hard cash for it as she did. Hence, she is steadier and quieter under these | political chanyes than any other country. | Yet some think that the prospect is very | terrifying, and the spectre to them is hor- rible ; with Jo, they cry out-

“Ah! ah! ah! me

The gad fly stingeth to agony,

Klelu, elelu, How the spasin and the pain And the fire on the brain Strike, burning me through.”

They perceive nothing in the movement but vain aspiration —- unresultive work. Perhaps they are right. But as England has new to cope with this new phase, and the reforms required, it remains for its present generation, and the generations of its posterity to change them, and bring thein about as gently as their ferefathers passed from feudalism to the modern era ~ as unconscieusly as we have seen them grow,

Famine in Turkey. Canadian and American Miissidnaries at KErzeroum have sent the following appeal to the people of this country, for aid ina The British Vice- Consul at Erzeroum joins in the appeal :— ‘* Ernzeroum, Feb. 20, 1850. ‘*o THE CANADTAN PUBLIC, ‘‘Pamine is raging in this Jand. Already several certilied cases of death by starvation have come under our notice. Mary people are trying to subsist upon the nutritienless reots of the ‘ Kaz,’ a shrub which is used for tirewood; while carcasses of horses which have sickened and died are eageriy devoured. The benevolence of Britain has already been severely taxed on behalf of Ireland and the refugees in Western ‘Turkey; and while we are receiving help from that quarter, we feel it to be unfair to ask that one wuch-enduring nation bear the whole burden of this poverty- stricken district. ‘We, therefore, appeal to the Canadian public for much needed aid. Give, and Ged will bless you ; for ‘ He that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord.’ Please forward contributions, without delay, to L. S. Ward, Esq., Treasurer, A. B. C. M. F., Congl. House, No. 1 Somerset-street, Boston, Mass., stating deztinstion. ** it. CHAMBERS, **M. P. PaARMRLER, *R. M. Corg, ‘Wa. N. CHAMBERs, ‘* American Missionaries. ** Witttam EvEReri, Capt, 33rd Regiment, Hi. 2. M.’s Vice-Consul, Erzeroum.

Mr. Chambers is frem Whitby, Ontario. His letters give details of the fearful state to which famine has reduced Erzeroum and the surreunding country, ‘' The people are trying to keep bedy and soul together by using roets and greens gathered and dried last fail in larger jquantities than usual in anticipation ef the present distress.” The oppressions ef the Governinent add to the horrers of the situation. The suffer- ings of the Moslems are as severe as those of the Armenians. Mr. Chambers cen- cludes his letter with the cry, “Help! help ! | fer our hearts faint and fail.’’

time of terrible need.

| Principal Grant, D. D., Queen’s College, Kingston, in laying this case before the people ef the Upper Provinces, adds:

it may be asked, ‘‘What claims on us have those ‘Turks, Greeks, Armenians, native Christians, who dweil round the wide-spread- | ing basis of Mount Ararat, and in those high- | jands*whence the Father of the Faithful mi- | grated thousands of years ago for the world’s advantage? ‘The question answers itself. Those peoples and lands are linked te us by a thousand human, histerical, and spiritual links. Towards them a mighty unseen power seems drawing all the great werld torces as if for some final mortal struggle. The only gleams of hope for the future of these lands that we can discern in the confusion and present despair are in tne mission churches, schools, and colleges established by those noble Christian men sent out by the American Churches, who have proved themselves statesmen as well as missionaries. 1 rejoice that Canadians are working side by side with these men, and in co-operation with British influence and effort. De not we owe semething to the men who have given themselves to this work? Now is the time to help them with effect, to enable them to be saviours to the helpless, and so and so to strengthen their influence for the future.”

We are indebted toa ‘‘staff correspond- ent” for the following anecdote concerning ihe recent registratien of female voters in Beston. Its accuracy is vouched for by an eminent artist—one~ ef the most dis- tinguished stone cutters ef the Hub. Enter old lady.ef a certain age. ‘I wish to register sir.”’ ‘‘Your name, please ?” ‘‘Almira Jane Simpson.” ‘‘Your age?” ‘‘Beg pardon.” ‘‘Yeur age?’ DoT under- stand that I must give my age?’ ‘‘Yes Mias, the law requires it.” ‘‘Worlds, sir, would not tempt me to give it. Notthat IL care. No, I had as lief wear it on my bonnet, as a hackman does his number; but ’m atwin, and if my sister hasa weak- ness, itis that she dislikes any reference made to her age; and I could not give my own, because I don’t wish to offend her.— Harper's Magazine.

The editor of the La Plata (La) Heme Press, having an addition to his family, writes : ‘* The storm of the equinox of Sat- urday morning left at our house a little cherub of the female persuasion, a kind of leap year tribute, as it were. We bow

gracefully to the dispensation, sharpen our lead pencil and call upen the delinquent wood subscriber te materialize at once.”

A new pulp mill has been built at Great Falls, Windham, Maine, and manufactures pails tubs, barrels, mouldings for buildings, doors, sashes, blinds, etc., all made from sawdust, ground up twigs, ete., the pulp being run into moulds, and the water ex- tracted by a powerful press,

A correspondent writes: ‘ A great fam- ine exists in Upper Stewiacke, N. S., for hay, and if warm weather does not set in iminediately, many cattle ust die. Many farmers have fed out all their seed grain and potatoes, The like was never known before since the place was settled.”

The wretched beggars whose feet are washed every year on Good Friday by the King of Spain, are the most unhappy of mortals. They are ferced to take six foot- baths a day fer a week previous, and a whole army of chiropedists are let loose upon them to extract corns, polish and per- fume. ;

The noise of the general elections drowned the voice of the famine-stricken in Ireland calling for relief, but now that the excite- ment is over, it becomes distinct enough. Six of the lrish bishops have issued pas- torals to the effect that terrible suffering is still felt by the peeple under their spiritual charge, and that from ithe ist of May to the Ist of July will be the most trying time.

The ex-Queen of Naples goes daily to the Hippodrome at Paris, and is taking lessons imeireus tricks on horseback, a servant throwing balls to her, which she catches, going at full gallop and leaning back so that her head almost touches the horse’s tail. The King stands watching her with admiration, and when the ex- ercises are over, he goes to the Madeline and prays.

‘Sr. Pace Prererrep.—A New York city church last fall invested $50,000 in the railroad stock knewn as ‘‘ St. Paul Pre- ferred,” and made a profit of $60,000. It is proposed to build a new church with it, and it has been. suggested to call it ** St. Paul Preferred.’’ That’s the St. Pav! that is generally ‘‘preferred” by churches now-a-days. — Detroit Free Press.

A despatch from Slige states that on an attempt te serve a process of ejectment upon the tenant of a smali holding in the interier of Sligo county, a large assemblage of the people —, and notwithstanding the efforts ef several priests, together with a de- tachment of armed constabulary, drove off the officer of the law, and successfully pro- tected the tenant from the service of the paper. There was a great amount of noise and excitement, and in the struggle numerous slight wounds were received on both sides, but so far as heard from no one was killed. After the constabulary retired with the pro- cess-server, the crowd quietly dispersed.

Mrs, Anna Ormsby, her son Augustus, her daughter Sallie, and her niece Annie Miller, on their way te the wedding of the eldest son, Graham Ormsby, on the 23rd ult., drove on beard the ferry beat on the Kentueky River, two miles above its mouth. Just as they got aboard, the horses turned and threw the car- riage into the river. The carriage turned over, and the ladies were so entangled that they could not getout. The ferryman plung- ed into the water, and used every effort te rescue them, but in vain. The intended bride and groom and their friends were standing in the deer epposite, and were witnesses of the terrible scene. A skiff was procured bythem, and the young man was rescued and resusci- tated. The remainsef the ladies were not re- covered. When all efforts at rescue ceased, the marriage ceremony was performed, and the funeral and wedding were one.
