FONHE cry of ‘‘Hard times” and ‘No money” is universal. Yet people lose their teeth, and in consequence their health. Again, recent improvements have cheapened the cost of Dental material ;—considering which I have decided to reduce my prices, and for three months from the ike of this I will make a sett of teeth for Ten Dollars. Parts of setts correspondingly cheap. More than this—I will use good material and guar- antee, in every case, a perfect fit. C. L. STRICKLAND.

David Ward and James Heasley, who ac- company him, on the Inman steamer ‘‘ City of Montreal,” which sails on the 30th inst.

B. A Richibucte, Kent County, N. b., cor- respondent of the Times writes as follows, under date of the 13th inst., coneerning Queen Victoria’s Wedding Cake :— ‘In the last issue of the Weekly Times an article appeared, taken from the Argen- teuil Advertiser, stating that a certain Mrs. Henry Wood has a piece of the Queen’s marriage cake still in her possession. We beg leave to state that Professor John Bil- ton, ef Lincolnshire, England, at present residing in Richibucto, has also a piece of Her Majesty’s marriage cake, given to him by John Longdon, gentleman porter to Her Majesty the Queen, high steward of the household of the Marchioness of Cun- ningham, one of the ladies of the bedcham- ber. Professor Bilton, we understand, has preserved a piece of the cake, and it is now- seeh among the curiosities of his valuable collection in the Museum of the Academy of Art. Professor Bilton can safely say that he is the only man at present in the Province of New Brunswick who has tasted of his Sovereign’s wedding cake.” ——— 2 OEP 9 ———— —— Parcr Carprts.—A paper carpet is now made in England, designed to imitate parquet flooring, the paper being printed in patterns to represent different woods, from photo- graphs, so that the resemblance is perfect. The floor is first prepared, being made per- fectly level, and the crevices filled up with plaster of Paris ; over the surface as thus prepared, hessian is stretched, and on this first lining paper and then patterened paper is pasted, the whole being finished with a coating of a peculiar kind of varnish, des- cribed as wonderfully hard, and wear resist ing. This kind of carpeting can be kept perfectly clean with great ease, and though the wear of paper carpeting may be thought problematical,the inventor states that he has had rooms covered with it for sixteen month, without showing any appreciable signs of wear. Sane caren Aman who has had much experience in managing horses, says: ‘‘Whenever ner- vous horsemen notice their horse directing his ear to any point whatever or indicating the slightest disposition to become afraid, let them, instead of pulling the rein to bring the horse toward the object causing its nervousness, pull it on the other side. This will instantly divert the attention of the horse from the object which is exciting his suspicion, and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the horse will pay no more at- tention to the object, from which he will fly away if forcibly driven. to it by pulling on the wrong rein. The practice most per- sons have of forcing a horse up to the ob- ject, frightening it, is dangerous and use- less.” 2 ae? ~seere heme aati oe R. chlorate, have been combined by Dr. Cesare | Ciattaglia, of Rome, and, as he claims, | a 1879, Miscellaneous News.

He will not wait for the steamer Richmond. Lord Salisbury, British Secretary of Foreign Affairs, has not yet definitely answered the Porte’s request for a guaran- tee for the Turkish loan, and it is believed the question will be deferred until the meeting of Parliament. Fisu Cutrurz.—The Dominion Govern- ment fish hatcheries have laid down this season about 25,000,000 of fish eggs. Some 15,000 of whitefish eggs are in the Sand- wich hatchery, and nearly 3,000,000 of salmon and trout eggs at Newcastle, Ont. Thomas Lord, the old millionaire, whose marriage with Mrs. Hicks, in New York, made so much fuss a couple of years ago, is said to be dying. He iseighty five yearsold,is is worth about a million and a half, and will leave six sons to quarrel with his widow over his fortune. The New York Zriiwne’s Washington special says Comptroller Knox's tables showing the ratio of capital to liabilities in the banks in the United States and Great Britain has attracted attention in England and given rise to a question whether the proportion of banking capital to liabilities in that country is not unduly smal). Russia still remains south of the Balkans. it is now said that the private arrange- ments she is making with the Turks are almost complete, and that she has reduced the indemnity by a hundred million roubles. There is a rumor that Russia intends to seize Yesso, one of the Japan Islands, which has a good harbor and workable coal fields, and is but partially inhabited. The Japanese unaided could scarcely resist the attempt were it made. Yesso would bea valuable acquisition. The death of Espartero, Duke of Victoria, is announced. For many years he ruled Span despotically in the name of Queen Isabella, and when the Pope, moved by the sufferings of the Spanish Church, which Espartero persecuted cruelly, invited the Catholic world to pray for its relief, Espar- tero, who thought himself perfectly secure up to that time, saw the army and the country abandon him and was compelled to retire into private life. He has since been almost forgotten. He was born in 1792 and was therefore about 86 years of age. No man ever yet prospered in the world without the co-operation of his wife. If she unites in mental endeavors, or rewards his endeavors with an endearing smile, with what confidence will he resort to his mer- chaudise or his farm, fly over the land, sail over the seas, meet difficulty and encounter danger, if he knows he is not spending strength in vain, that his labor will be re- warded by the sweets of home! Solitude and disappointment enter into the history of every man’s life ; and he is but half pro- vided for his voyage who finds but am as- sociate for happy hours, while for months of darkness and distress no sympathising partner is prepared. A now method of planting telegraph poles has been introduced in Pennsylvania. The ground is staked off at distances of 200 feet apart, aman starts off with cartridges of ** electric powder,” and with a crowbar in his hand. The bar is driven four or five feet into the ground, a cartridge witha lighted fuse is dropped into the hole, and the man proceeds to the next stake, but be- fore he reaches it the cartridge has explod- ed, making a cavity as big as a flour barrel in the ground, and a gang of men who fol- low plant a telegraph pole in the spot. In this way four men wiil set np 100 to 150 poles per day, and ata cost two-thirds less than by the old way. According to the latest statement of the United States Bureau of Statistics the ex- cess of exports over imports still continues, the excess during October being $27,743,- 464, againt an excess of $17,731,155 during October, 1877, over ten million dollars in excess. For the two months ended Oct 31, the excess was $237.070,012; against $72,- 191,489 for the corresponding period las year—an increase in the excess of nearly $165,000,000. These relate to mer- chandise alone. Well may British manufac- | turers and Canadians too, seriously pon- der, and in large numbers conclude, that there is something radically wrong in the existing fiscal system.—~Star. ape--- -~—- The People Want Proof.
