The Standard’s startling anneuncement that Mr. Gladstone contemplates resign- iog the Chancellorship of the Exchequer at an early date, and meditates retiring ‘altogether from official life in Great britain, naturally produced much excite= ‘ment. The Liberal papers deny that ‘there is any truth iu the latter part of the assertion, though they think it would be’ | wise for the Premier to be released from | ithe financial part of his duties. In his’ | speech at Leeds Mr. Gladstone uttered! ihis conviction that the future of the! Liberalparty was assured even without! | himself as its leader. But it is apparent | from his second speech on the same day, | j in which he styles Lord Derby one of the) brightest ornaments of the Liberal party, | 'as also from his recent visit to Knows-' jley, that the Premier has taken into! /serious consideration the question who! jmay eventually be his successor in the} jleadership. The St. James’ Gazette’ ‘thinks that Losd Derby will be at any! (rate brought into the Cabinet in order to} ‘put himself on record more clearly en| ‘the Liberal side, so that even the rank: and file of the party may begin to leok to} him all through the country. ——< D> tee The Press in America. The first printing office established in the British-American colonies was at Cambridge (near Boston) Mass., by a printer named Daye, who, in January, 1639, printed the Freeman’s Oath, en a press shipped the previous year by Rev. Mr. Glover. The first book issued from this press was the * Bay Psalm Book,” acrown octavo uf 300 pages. a second edition of which was priuted in 1647. In addition to those publications, a yearly almazac was issued from this press, a volume of colonial laws, and some other unimportant works. Daye was succeed- ed in the charge of the pioneer privting office of New England by Samuel Green, an emigrant, and the ancestor of several pioneer American printers. ‘** This wag not the first printing effice established om the NorthfAmerican con- tinent, one having been introduced inte Mexico some years before 1569, while early in 1600 the printing press was in- troduced into San Domingo and Cuba, fand in Peru, South America, in 1621, So we seo we are indebted to the Spanish race for the first introduction of the typographic art in America.” “ From the above statements it would seem that the privuling press was an early adjunct to American colonization. Magazines and other serials were at- tempted by Franklin as early as 1741. Book-printing was frequently done by the pioneer ;printers, who were often book- sellers as well as book-printers. An Indian translation of the Bible, by Rev. John Eliot, was printed at Cambridge in 1661-63, while a German Bible was printed at Germantown (a suburb of Philadelphia) in 1743; and an English Bible in Boston in 1752. Many of the works then issued were books on theology and fugitive sermons, and later on were the effusions of writers of travels, literary essays, and poems, and colonial literature ofalighterform. But dogmatic theology ir the shape of sermons was the prevail- ing literature till the American Revolu- tion broke out, when political tracts and treatises urging on revolt from the British Gevernment took the place of dogmatic and metaphysical discussions. A few rare specimens of this sort of literature can be found in a few select libraries. Arctic Exploration. FATE OF THREE OF FRANKLIN'S MEN. A most interesting incident in the ad- venturous and fortunate voyage of Captain Adams was his meeting with an Esqui- maux, who told him something which shed fresh light on the dark, pathetic story of ‘the Franklin expedition. Successive search veyages have almost cleared up the mys- tery which ence surrounded the missing }erews of the Erebus and Terror. The spot : where the ships were beset by the ice, and where they were abandoned, the fate of the commander and many of the crew, all these are points long ago made known to the world. But there was one matter which remained a mystery. What had be- come ef Lieut. Crozier? Capt. Adams here remarked: ‘‘ During the course ef my voyage I had aboard a very intelligent Esquimaux. He belonged te the Iglooiks, en the northwestern coast of the Melville peninsula. He told me that when he was a boy, and travelling with his father, he met three men, being the survivors of a arty of seventeen who had travelled from two English ships far to the west. | showed him a chart and questioned him three men were very much worn and sey- erely frost bitten. One was a great cap- tain, and was looked up to by the others. He died, and was buried by them. They cried very much. The other two men lived also died. All three men were buried in their clothes, and the last two with all they possessed, according to the custom of the Esquimaux.”’ —_ >> <a ++ No principle is more noble, as there is Y= If you want good value please give me a call.

Str,— Mr. Fraser may be excused for feeling irritated by the result of the prose- cution against him. But, in his letter of yesterday, he might have atated facts with regard te my testimony. In reply, I merely submit a copy of the Magistrate’s nutes, which, se far as they go, are substantially correct. Tuomas J. Lexmunc. I have seen this bottle before. It was brought to me yesterday. I made an analysis of it. I tried two methods to ascertain what alcohol was putin it. There is about 30 per cent of rectified spirit, i. ¢., what is umdersteod as alcohol. There is about 48 to 56 per cent. of alevhel in French brandy. It is much strenger than in wine or ale. I poured out 120 minims and put it in a table spoon, and heating it, Linflamed it and kept burning it until it had lost 30 minims. This weuld give 25 per centef aleohol. I tried another method, which separated the aleohol from the mixture. (Produced bottle showing abent 30 per cent. of clear alcohol.) This is the result of ene ounce poured out of the bottle used by infusing (disselving) ear- bonate ef potash (anhydrous.) I sepa rated the alcohol from the mixture. The upper liquer is pure rectified spirit. I tried it end it entirely burned away, leaving no moisture. From my analysis this is spirituous liquor. I can- not say what liquor, I think the ether mixture is cinnamon or cherry stones. [ knew of quinine wine it is made with wine and alcohel. Questioned by Mr. McLean.—Suppose a pint ef gin and one oz. of Peruvian bark 1 Ans.-—- [ would ke sorry te prescribe it. Ques.—There would be some strength in the tonic? Ans. —Yes. Ques. —Druggists sell tonics ? Ans.—Yes. The gin might act as a stimulant. There is but a small quantity of bark in it—(this.) If I werea drinker I should not object te it as a beverage. I would as seen take it asa glass of rum. I don’t think there is much tenic in this. Sherry contains from 13 to 17 per ceni. of alcohol. In mixing quinine wine 1 put 1 grain of quinine te a wineglassful ef wine. There is 13 to 17 per cent. of alcohol in ordinary quinine wine. er Chppings.

Our conviction is that, in Christian coun- tries, s0-called, there is no possibility of elimianting, even in theory, religion from the current morality and civilization.

A private cablegram has been received stating that the American, Csnadian, Eurc- pean and Asiatic Cable Company, which was chartered last session, has completed its organization. The company intend laying twe cables next year, and will during the coming winter make arrangements for the censtraction of land lines from Halifax to Victoria, cenunecting with all the principal aities of the Dominion.—Hz. Herald, A Margaree (C. B.) farmer observed a caribou feeding in the field with his sheep. The stranger, which proved to be one of unusually large size, was so tame that the farmer canght it by the logs. It refuses to leave the premises and will now eat potatoes from the hand of any person. Caribou are wild and difficult to get near, and this is a most unusual occurrence. A fine religious point was recently made by the Sheikh-uf Islam, the spiritual head of the Mohammedans. The Khedive of Egypt wishes to abolish slavery, and censulted the Sheikh on the subject, who ssid that while slavery was undoubtedly an abomination, it ought not to be abolished wholesale, since the emancipation of individual slaves was one of the most meritorious of acts, and the Pro phet had conceded this right tehis followers asa ehicf means of atoning for their sins.
