FERGUSON’S RAMBLES. —- Ir was fitting that, before taking the Chair of Ancient History in the Univer™ sity of Celifornia, to waoich he has been called, Dr. Ferguson should survey the historic field and obtain those correct and definite impressions of the classic scenes and incidents which personal observation only can give; and it was emineéatly fitting, ‘hat having returned to his native land he should give the people among whom he was born ani reared the benefit of his firet lecture, Thecompliment, was evidently appreciated by the people, for Marebfield hall was well filled last even- iug. Mr. Fred Turner occupied the chair, while Dr, Ferguson held the attention of his audience by the relation ef some of the eaperiences and impressions obtained by him while travelling in clastic Europe. Taking a steamship of the Ge-man Line at New York he was soon in the beautiful Rhiveland with its vine-clad hills and hietoric castles, thence he passed on to Berlin, remarking particularly the ex- pacding commerce of the country united uoder tbe sway of the Hohenzollerns, the jue picture galleries of Munich and other owns sod the “ bier-gartens ” night y lied with Germans who drink beer by the juart aud lazily lieteu to eweet music. rom Germany, after a period of epecisl sudy, Dr. Ferguecn proceeded to [taly u COMpabLy WILD & Gistinguirbed Company f »tet eolugists,visiting the ancient cities, ucluding Venice, Rome, Naples and the loog~buried but Low revealed Pompeii. He ascended Vesuvius simos. to the crater’s edge and noted the shief points of interest to the student, Chen he went to Greece, passing the Isles, iad finding Pirzeus Bay well filled wtth modern ebipping. Here, ae in Italy, be followed the courre of other students of ihe historic past and suffered, with them, the conteqvences Of the laziness and shift~ leesness of modern Greeks. While he examined works of dea'hless interest, the memorials of those * men of might,” the “ grand of eoul,” who peopled Greece in days of old, he was annoyed by the filth and pestered by the vermin which accompany the present inhabitants of that classic land. Returning northward, he visited the fine city of Vienns, with the eplendid public build- ing® recently erected, and noted as well its relice of the historic past. He noted aleo the enmity and unrest which now prevails ‘ae TRY Our BICYCLE LIVERY Look atfour assortment of BRING between the Sclav and Germanic races; making up the population of the Auetro: i Hungarian Empire, and the prevailing } NEW BICYCLES, We have all world Leaders, Your, Bicycle to our [repair shop} for*satisfaetor y" repairs.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. —There seems to have been a good deal ef Li about the news from China. ~-Information from West Princ: is to the effect that Mr. B. D. McLeilan is actually engaged in trying to stem the curreatof discontent against him and secure ao re~ nomination. Poor B. D., asa we'll mean- ing friend anonymously wrote you wnoer striving for your laet nomination, “The men of physic while pretending friend- ship are trying to cut yourneck,” i — Perhaps the Guardian will, when the weather becomes cooler, show us how much lese protective the tariff ie now than it was when the Conservatives were in office, and what the consuming public has gained by firet adding 5 to 106 per cent. duty to the value of goods imported from Great Britain—and then taking from 124 to 333 per cent of thatduty. Surely the Guardian will never attemptio prove that the men in office have performed tbeir pre-election promise in regard to the abolition of Protection andthe estab- lishment of Free Trade. CONDUCTORS ON TRAINS WEST. Sin,—The amiable gentleman ‘*‘ at the railway Office” who furnismed you with the ioformation that it was in ‘he cou- dactors’ interests the Sharp patent sys- tem of changes was pat in forer, got about as close to the truth as we would expect in some quarters when tryipgto «xiricate the Superintendent from a ridiculous poition. I tell you, again, oo the authority of the conductors themselvee, that the change is sgainst their wishee, and is only in force to ap~ pease some hobby of the erratic individ- ual atthe helm. WhenI tell you, sir, that for the afternoon train coming weat to arrive on schedule time is the exception and ‘he traius vn the Tignish branch are therefore ueuslly ran both ways by the baggege men, 1 would repeat my ques- tion which you did not publish before : “Ifconductore are net required, according to the p-esent eysiem being worked out, on the Tignish branch,why should we Lot prepare for a further step of retro- gression here, or the abolition of con- ductore on other parts of the eystem, if the cranks of the superintendent’ e errati- ciem ¢! gald take another turn ? ” Your CorkesP oNDEXT. A Narrow Ercape.— Tbe Summereide correspondent of the Guardian says: Wat might have been a serious accident oc- curred yesterday near the railroad croas- ing.
