The remark of Father Strubve that *‘there is scarcely a b y of hlteen in Charivttetown who has least once, fallen a victim to in temperance” was certainly a very strong statement In our opinion it is not literal- ly and abs plutely true, But anyone who been about the town and noted the ’ eval pr ence of inte nperance, and seen b ys reeling about our streets, will admit that there is a great deal too much in it. At any rat were not prepared with evi- dence to rebut Father Strubbe’s statement and we did not do so.

Then he might < about the desks and see books containing records of all lands that have been scold and the deeds, etc., that have been issued. By taking a look inside the vault, he would discover whole rows of books referring to the various estates which have been and are being sold by the Government. No books, indeed. There are hundreds of books of account in the Laud Ofticee—books which are con- tinually needed for use and reference. It is needless to say that a multitude of books will not prevent defaleations. In fact, the greater the number of books, the easier it | is for a defaul to cover up his transac- tious a escape discovery. Being a true Grit, the Souris correspondent is, of course, overjoyed by a scandal.

DAILY The Emperor and Empress of Germany have been paying a visit to the Sultan of furkey. The Sultan was nervously anxious to please the Imperial visitors. Many pre- sents were given by him to this guests, in- cluding a necklace to the Empress which is said to be worth about $225,000. Where the Sultan will ever get the money to pay for these presents is a question which is asked by many people. When it is con- sidered that the Sultan’s troops are often kept waiting for their pay, it looks as if the very anxious {to be in the good graces of the German Emperor, William I. has now, with the exception of Spain and Portugal, visited all the crowned heads of Europe. In every country he has seen the forces armed to the teeth, and the sight f all this may make him understand what un awful thing an European war would be. Phe other royal personages who were gath- ered together at Athens at the wedding of the Duke of Sparta have dispersed on various errands. The Prince of Wales and his son have gone to Egypt, whence the latter will be sent to India to strengthen British influence in those countries which have lately become dependent on England. + @ he is * In the singularly able speech just deliv- ered by Mr. Davitt before the Parnell commission, two stories were related by him which are well worth preserving; and as | believe that this is the first time they have been stated publicly, I give them for Tue Examrver readers. One was that a Mr. Sullivan, a prominent home ruler, left a card of sympathy on Lady Frederick Cavendish, and on the followimg morning he received a note from Lady Frederick in her own handwriting, thanking him for his sympathy, and assuring him that she lay her husband’s murder at the dl e Lrish nation—that she did not not believe that the Lrish people sought his aid neo mor of life, or would be implicated in the tragedy of bis death. That, said Mr. Davitt, wasa noble act ot Godlike charity that is told by iny a fireside in America. The other tory was that when the Invincibles were FXAMINER, and ‘he who carries his temple with him > No man was ever so miserable {in this world that he had not the most abundant reason to thank God; and this- he will see if he will study the mercies that have been Every man’s character is almost certain to be aifected for good or evil by the society with which he habitually mingles, and in which he finds his social pleasures. Hence the vast importance of selecting pure and virtuous companionships in life. This is especially the case with young people whose characters are in the forming stage. “T desire that books and periodicals be se- lected with a view to create and sustain a healthy moral and Christian sentiment in the community, and that all nastiness and im- morality be excluded, 1 do not mean by this that there shall not be anything but hymn- books and sermons; but I mean that dirty French novels and all skeptical trash and works of questionable moral tone shall never be found in this library. 1 want its atmos- phere that of Christian refinement, and its aim and object the building up of character.” Whether another library was what Chi- cago most needed we do not assert; but the spirit and usefulness of the gift raise this bequest high in the annals of the history of beneficence. There is through the whole document a gracious and generous recog- nition of others, a trust in the wisdom of the future, which in this case makes the dead hand not merely light but benedictive. Une of the most remarkable wills ever probated is that of John Crarer, of Chicago. He left an immense fortune acquired -by Scotch thrift that had broadened and deep- ened his character. He provided for rela- tives and friends bountifully, and then dis- tributes the rest of his estate to the public. Nearly a million dollars are given to various sovieties and Church benevolences, includ- ing $20,000 to his pastor. Then he gives $100,000 to erect a colossal statue of Abra- in Kilmainham jail, a 1Oxt execution ter of Merey visited the prison aln desiring to administer to the condemned men: ‘She paid | uitention to Joe Brady, en leavoring } vhten his few remainiog heurs of life. coDS ry day, oO Dr ' j borne a good character. son and had i | the morning of the execution she took to} the mother a message from the condemned son, thus fulfilling her angelic mission. Brady himself never knew who she was. She was the sister of the man whom Brady had killed with his own hands in the Phoenix Park, the sister of Mr. Burke. For christian charity which Lady Frederick Cavendish and Miss Burke dis- played they deserve to have their names perpetuated for all time.’ ' the * % The following will deserves mention as an instance of how a man could be found to carry unreasoning hatred and bigotry in- to and beyond the grave. It is that of an English gentleman who had from his earliest years been educated in the most violent my estate, to the following purpose : It is my will and pleasure that this sum shall be spent in the purchase of a certain quantity of the liquor vulgarly called whiskey, and it shall be publicly given out that a certain number of persons, Irish only, not to exceed twenty,who may choose to assemble in the cemetery in which I shall be interred, ongthe an- niversary of my death, shall have the same distributed to them. Further, it is my desire that each shall receive it by halfa pint at a time till the whole is consumed, each being likewise provided with a stout oaken stick ind a knife, and that they shall drink it all on the spot. Knowing what I know of the Irish character, my conviction is that, with these materials given, they will not fail to de- stroy each other ; and when in the course of time the race comes to be exterminated, this neighborhood at least may, perhaps, be colon- zed by civilized and respectable Englishmen.” i * * In reply to S.C.” I would say that 1 am not aware of anything special connected with the construction of the crown of Queen Victoria. So far as 1 have been able to find out it would seem to have been constructed out of the fragments of half a dozea bygone diadems which were broken up in 1838, including one worn by Mary Modena, those worn by Queen Caroline, (Queen Charlotte,,Mary 11. and ‘ ! others. The largest sapphire, which is partially drilled, was purchased by George IV. Inthe front of the diadem is a Mal- tese cross of diamonds; and in the centre of this cross is the famous ruby given to Edward, the Black Prince, by Pedro, King of Castile, after the battle of Najeva, A. D. 1367. This gem 1s pierced entirely through It was worn by Henry V., in his helmet at Agincourt. Every other diamond, ruby, emerald, and pearl in the crown may have ‘a history and a legend, but no authentic re- cord of them has been preserved.

The waste water runs off from my well in a stream, and there is no bad odor from it that I can detect. To guard smells which may proceed from any oily matter that may attach itself to the side of the pipe leading to the subterranean stream, I have an air pipe leading from the well in the cellar to the outside of the house, and I also give the well an occasional flushing with boiling water. Nothing of an excrementitious character is permitted to go into it. HovusEHOLDER. atin’. ec HOTEL ARRIVALS. —_——<—— HOTEL DAVIES.
