E. H. Bickersheth, Vicar of Christ Ehrlich, :Hfimpstead. His subject was ‘ _“l\(iilt6h’stiaijadise Lost,’l and the ser mon. thereon. although commenced with . a text'from the Bible, judging from the V reporté of it given in the papers, par-takes 'A "flahhei‘fptf'. the charactei-‘of a lecture to a ' Chrislian Association, that the words“ Reformer'a‘rrd' Tpryure easily put on, and‘as easily taken off, when it suits the occasion. The. strong l sense ol’ the country is opposed to shams and make-shifts.- The moderate think- ing portion of the community have seen so-called Reformers, during the past three years, turn their backs upon all the pro- i fessions hitherto made by them, and do ‘ and perform acts that any Tory would be ashamed of. The people must elect; men to power who will, in their public 1 capacity, act the same as if they were performing their own private businessl In other words, no man dealing in his private capacity would pay a toll of twenty per cent for the pleasure of , ' doing business with a neighbor, whilst that neighbor was allowed to do business , with him free of cost. To our mind it i is not a question of free trade or pro-3 tection, but rather a question of fair play and justice to ourselves. We have I all the elements of greatness within our own borders, and all we require is men 3 at the helm’of‘ afl'airs who will Tightly and. justly appreciate their position, act ‘ for the good of the country over which they serve, deal liberally and justly with the people from whom they receive their pay; and not-sell their birth-right for a ofipottage to a nation who, whilst receiving all they can get from you, despise you for your meanness, and treat you with contempt for littleness of soul.“ : Is sent by mail or other conveyance when 50 de- sired for ONE DOLLAR per unnum in‘advunce. ‘ single copies, three cents.

SIR,-â€"-â€"After all that has already ap- peared in your columns in favor of Pro- tection, I need not argue that question further, but merely wish to point out the consequence of Free Trade in Eng- land. It was not Free Trade, but Pro. rectiou. that made England rich, and when her manufacturers had by their lsuperior skilled labor and improved machinery attained a position that enabl- ed them to supply the markets of the world, then was heard the selfish cry of Free Trade. At present other countries have under favor of'Protcction made such advances both in skilled labor and improv» ed machinery that they now undersell the English manufacturers in their owu market. American cotton is now sold in the English markets of such superior quality and fine finish as to give general satisfaction, whilst in large towns where new buildings are being erected iron girders from Belgium are used because they are cheaper. Belgian workmen work longer hours and live at a Cheaper Irate than English workmen either can or will do, and Free Trade enables them to compete suécessfully with English manufacturers, so that unless English , manufacturers can make still greater {improvements in their machinery and: English workmen should prove willing to return to the old rate of wages, which is rather unlikely. either all nations must adopt:Frec Trade, which evidently they are not inclined to do, or the English‘ Government must return to Protection principles again, or the decrease in the customs returns will compel the reimpcsi- tion of the income tax. In whatever locality manufactures spring up an in- crease of population follows, and conse- quently a greater demand for the fruits of the field, the orchard and the garden. Whilst admitting that the Americans have carried Protection to the extreme' of prohibition, which has had the effect of stimulating production to an extent beyond the wants of the community, and the over supply has caused great loss to the manufacturers, yet the great centres of industry which have been the result- of protection still remain, and when the present excess of goods in the. market has been worked off a resumption of manufacturing activity will soon be ma- nifest. The more sagacious of their statesmen are beginning to perceive their error, and will probably arrive at a more correct view’of their duties in afcw years, and if our present rulers follow the American example just so far only as may be consistent with the real in- terests of the country. we may hope for better times than we have at present. SARAWAK. A Mr. (larsley, of Montreal, has been writing to the city press relative to Mer-. cantile Agencies, in which he shows up the. rotteuness of someotthesc instituy tions and the false basis upon which they conduct their business “ I would like .to know,” says Mr. Carsley, “ where the agencies got their inform- ation from whieh'enabled them to rate all their subscribers who have failed within the last year to be worth from $50,000 to $250,000 capital, when none of them have been worth suflicient money to pay 500. on the dollar of their liabilities; and numbers of them have been insolvent for years, and would have failed long ago. if their right rat- ing had been given, and which must have been known by the agenmes, if' they are - what they profess to be.” This is answered in a letter from one of the country agents to the head ofiice of his Agency “ which proves that the agent does not receive any pay from the agency he is supposed to represent, so that he only means he has of' making money by it is ’by charging the=business men in his district for a rating,” or in other words a man in the country can be rated in accordance 'as he fees the agent in his locality, who from the in- most recesses of' his heart exclaimed " it is one of the best paying business in Canada, as there are few men who dare refuse to help us in some way or other.” “Come, plead guilty or not guilty," repeated the clerk. “Spoons E” was the only reply. “Prisoner, will you answer the ques- tions put to you, or do you want to be punished for contempt of court I” asked the Judge. Col. Charles S. Spencer, counsellor at: law, some yearsago had to defend one Marshall, charged with larceny, and against whom there was very strong eviv dence. Before the trial Spencer went-be his client and told him that his only chance of escape was in a plea. of insanity and he advised him to play the lunatic, and to answer all the questions put to him with the word “spoons.” The day of the trial came on, .and Marshall took his place in the dock, pale, haggard, and wild leaking. “Guilty or not guilty '1” asked the clerk. “Spoons I” drawled the prisoner, with a blank stare. FREE TRADE vs. PROTECTION. E” bawled the prisoner, still unmoved. It was"evident the man was crazy, and the Judge ordered .him discharged. He was taken charge of by his friends, who were present, and left’ the'court' with him. Councellor Spencer followed them and, congratulating him on his escape, suggested that it might be a. good idea to pay him his fee. His client stared at him in blank amasement, and moved away with the simple remark, “spoons !" At this point the council for the pris- oner interfered and told the Court that his client was not in a condition to be put on trial, as he was evidently not re- sponsible for his actions, and it was an outgge on free citizens, &c. .1 an "'5133751311 ilixid'éi’siand what is said 2" asked the Judge, addressing the prison- er. “Spoons!” was his reply in accents wild. Hero of Spoons. _ Another great engineering work ap- parently is on the eve of aGcOmplishment one which should transform Algeria and the North of Africa, and exert no incon- siderable influence on the commerce of Francehindeed, of the whole civilized world. This is the turning of the water of the Mediterranean into the deserts of 'Algiers, forming a. great inland lake or gulf, or, to be more exact, restoring that which existed some twenty centuries ago. M. Roudaire, the originator of the scheme, is a captain -of a. French staff, ; who had made the geography and com- mercial deveIOpment of Algiers his ar- ticular, study ; in 1872 he resolve to L explore the countrv for himself and as. icertain, if possible, what benefits, com‘ ‘mercial and political, would accrue to ‘ France from opening up an inland sea. Having obtained the necessary furlough, ‘ with recommendations to the colonial authorities, he set out on his mission, but his efl‘oits were so poorly seconded by them and they so exaggerated the dangers and (liflicnlties of the work of exploration, that finally he set out unes- corted on a trip that was to last thirteen months and be full of vicissitudes. He was somewhat aided at the outset by the discovery that Captain Picot de St. Marie, in his route of 184-5, had proceed- ed on correct suppositions as to the in- land sea, so that the latter explorer could conscientiously avail himself of the results of his predecessor’s journey. From the Gabes he pushed on to Biskra, 240 miles distant, through unfriendly tribes, often sufleiffig for “am of £00“; Water or shelter, but “Ways till-("’3' 01" servatoins and levels. lui’ml Blflkm he returned direct to Algiers, Where 1115 success was warmly applauded b,‘ Gen- eral Chanzy, and going to Paris he pr‘fi' pared; with the approval of the minister war, along clear and valuable paper for the Revue dos Deux Mondos that attract- ed much attention in the scientific world. The government onicrod warmly into the scheme, and last year Captain Roudaire was sent out to complete his explorations, this time as a special commissioner of the department of public instruction. .After careful investigations and calcula- tions verified by competent authority, he finds the formation of the inland sea of Algeria, with a length of 2560 round kilometers, and aln‘eadih of (i0, or say, 210 by 36 miles to be not only feasible but most desirable. A formal report was made a. month ago 3 another more extended and acro‘lnl‘uuliod by a map on a. scale of 1-100,000 is shortly to be filed, and the work will prulmldy be begun next year. The ’l‘nnisizm gm'crmnent will bear its share of the expenses, which are estimated at from SONG-0,000,140 100,-‘ 900,000 francs. : ‘ J iiyuâ€"r, ..

Undoubtedly the want of an atmosphere causes the moon’s heat to be rapidly radiated away into space. It is the * earth’s atmosphere which causes a steady heat to prevail on its sur- face ; and at the summit of lofty moun- tains, where the atmosphere is rare al- though the midday is intense, yet so rapidly does the heat pass away that snows‘ crown forever the mountain heights. Yet, although the moon’s heat must pass away even more rapidly, this does not prevent the heating of the moon’s actual surface. Accordingly, Herschel has, pointed out, as far as a fact beyond doubt, that the moon’s surâ€" face must be heated at lunary middayâ€" or, rather, at the hour of lunar mid-heat, corresponding to about two o’clock in our afternoonâ€"to a degree probably sur- passing the heat of boiling water. One of the latest and most remarkable teachings of astronomical science is that the moon, when full, is so intenser hot that no creature known to us could en- dure contact with her heated surface.â€" The reasoning in this case is that the surface of the moon is exposed during the long lunar day, lasting a. fortnight of our terrestrial time, to the rays of a-sun as powerful as; that which gives our Qain heat ; and Without an atmosphere to te‘rhfiérthfih‘i‘f's" heat ajs‘our's’ (leesâ€" Manufacturer of Doors, Sashes, Blinds, Juouldings, Lath, Shingles, eta, - Richmond Hill, Um. , LODE & HOOK, EAVE-TROUGHS, EPPS'S COCOA.â€"- GRATEFI'L AND ‘ICHMOND HILL Sash“ and Door Factory.
