Lieutr Gordon, deputy superintendent of the Meteorological Survey. and Mr. Payne, _ inspector. returned to Toronto from a two ; monthe’ trip in the Northwest, where they had been travelling on business connected with the department. This vislt is an important one for the Northwest, when the probable results of the trip are. consideredt I ,It the recommendations’of Lieut. Gordon and Mr. Payne are acted upon by the Government, in a short time the tempera- ture of the whole Northwest will be deter- mined, weather probabilities will be given for that country, and storm. warnings will be issued for Lake Superior;. They passed 4. through the territory between Port Arthur and the Rocky Mountains. Arrange ments were made by both gentlemen for the opening of twelve stations, with instruments, along the line of- the Canada Pacific Railway, three east, one southwest, and eight west of Winnipeg, to report by mail. ,Those at Calgarry and Swrit Cur- rent are the only new stations which will report by telegraph, making ten in all. If the telegraph service 'works regularly the department will be in a position in a short v time to issue probabilities for Manitoba. The department will also be able to make .a correct temperature map of the country east and west, and from the boundary to the north, branch of the Saskatchewan a fair idea will be ascertained of the rainfall, and storms on Lake Superior will be pre- dicted, the last mentioned being regarded by Lieut. Gordon“ as one ofthe principal benefits. The Department of Agriculture in Manitoba, as in Ontario, is assisting the Meteorological Department in its work. Frosts during the summer have damaged the crops considerably throughout the country, but around Battlsford the farmers claimed immunity, and- had very good crops. At Prince Arthur Lieutenant Gordon also saw very good crops. Around the latter place the country has been longer settled than the other districts, and the farms are in good order and well fenced, and all sorts of im- proved machinery are in use. Lieutenant Gordon is of opinion that the whole country will always be more or less liable to sum- mer frosts. This, however, he} thinks might be partially remedied by the plant-‘ ing of trees on a large scale, say in blocks of 10,000 acres each. The air, it. appears, is so dry and the nights are so clear that the temperature runs down rapidly after sun- set. The trees would bring summer rains down and check the frosts ; a small quantity of moisture in the air acting as a blanket and keeping the air warm. If the treeâ€" planting were taken in hand by the railway company, it would pay them in giving a supply of timber for ties and improve the cliflngate oi the country as well. In support Parisâ€"Miss Isabel lilacpherrmn Ihe Bride. The Paris correspondent of the Montreal Gazette, writing under date of September 26th, says: I have to-day a very pleasant event to chronicle, and of a kind in which Canadians have seldom figured. I refer to the marriage at the English Embassy, in this city, of Mr. George A. Kirkpatrick. Speaker of the Canadian House of Com- mons, to Miss Isa‘bel Macphersonfdfnghter of Hon. D. L. Macpherson, Speaker of the Senate, which took place this morning. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Canon Kirkpatrick, of Ely Cathedral and Begius Professor of Hebrew at Cambridge University, a cousin of the groom, whose reading of the Episcopal service was most impressive. The bride was assisted by her sister. Miss Macpherson, while Major Short, of the Royal Canadian Artillery, per- formed this duty for the groom. I hardly dare attempt to tell you what the ladies wore, but if Imistake not, the bride’s dress was of heavily brocaded white silk with full train, the front being trimmed with flounces of Brussels lace and orange blos- some, awreath of which was set in her dark hair, while over all being the bridal veil ; but certainly the bride looked charm- ing, and went through the trying service with as little nervousness as possible. Mrs. Macpherson wore a very handsome dress of adeep shade of old gold, the waist and train of velvet, while the front was a rich satin, the small bonnet being of plush, re- lieved by a small blue feather. The bridesmaid’s dress was of dove-colored silk, but although a beautiful work of art, it quite baffled my knowledge of details. After the ceremony a lunch had been pre- pared in one of the magnificent rooms of thi Hotel Continental, at which a few friends assembled to Wish every happiness to Mr. and Mrs. Kirkpatrick. "on. George A. It irkpnuick Married at oifi'le idea, Lieut. Gordon mentiened- the fact that in Germany the Government is now receiving a. revenue from the trees planted, and that in the United States one of the railway companies is now receiving a. return from trees, the planting of which was commenced about ten years ago.

Dr. Grant, Principal of Queen's Col- lege, Kingston, who has just returned with Sandford Fleming from a. trip through the Rock River route of the Canadian Pacific, reports Major Rogers, in charge of the Rocky Mountain survey. having success- fully achieved a triumph for a direct line. There are three distinct passes, as follows: In the Rockies proper, Kicking Horse; in the Selkirk range, Rogers‘ pass, and in the gold or Columbia range Eagle pass. This virtually settles a long-disputed question. ,_ and gives the Canadian Pacific the shortest of all trans-continental railways. From Winnipeg to Port Moody on the Pacific is only about one thousand four hundred and eighty miles, whereas from Portland to St. Paul is one thousand nine hundred and eleven miles. Another interesting fact is that it will present the most striking and picturesque scenery of all transâ€"continental railways. rJ.‘he mountains on Bow: River, on Kicking Horse, and in the Selkirks are singularly grand and beautiful. Principal Grant has pierced the Rockies now by four distinct passes, and knows whereui he apm’ks.

Janice Young. and claiming to helong‘to the Church of Eng- land and to hail from Sarnia, victimized a number of merchants yesterday. In the first place he bought a stove for $14, giving a 330 cheque on the Bank of Commerce, getting $16 cash in change. The cheque was made payable to Rev. Mr. Young or bearer, and signed by James P. Stephens, and the article was ordered to be sent to St. James’ Church rectory at Sarnia. In the same way his reverence bought an $18 gun with a $30 cheque on the Federal Bank, getting 312 in return. The Federal Bsnk cashed the cheque presented there, but the one drawn on the Bank of Com- merce was refused till inquiries had been made by telegraph, when the bogus character of the paper was disclosed. Search was at once made for the swindler, and he was discovered at the Grand Trunk' station on Richmond street, ready to leave by the 3 55 train for the east. He eluded arrestjgl; gyms, and aveh‘iislzfl nutmeg.“ lively chase, but was nally captured an cared for by the police. At the station he called himself Rev. James Young, of Phila- delphia, age 28 years. He had $36 in cash on his person, gold watch, chain, rillgs,etc., and cards and documents showing that-he had used numerchs aliases 31nd operated”. in various' parts of the States. He alep‘ had the blanks of a hotel in Port Arthur, and a number of bank cheques filled up and ready to use. These cheques were made payable to Rev. James Hugh,Walter Jarvis. and Rev. J. P. Hoyt. He is a man of medium height, light coloredAhair, clean shaven, sallow complexion, with heavy jaws. He was dressed in black, with a light colored fall overcoat and a black felt hat. He will beoxamined to-day on charges of fraud and forgery. ' The Air Full 01 Elt'clrichy, Bricks and Stones. A Lacrosse, Wis” den-patch says: When the cyclone struck Arcadia on Monday night the air was so charged, with elec- tricity that lights could not be made to burn. People rushed to the cellars in dark- ness to avoid danger. The outward atmos- phere was of a reddish green color, with .a strOLgsulphui-io odor. The deafening roar of the tornado was indescribable. Burns and out-buildings were lifted from their foundslionw and torn to fragments; trees, bricks and stones filled the air, and in some instances were driven thro‘ugh the sides of buildings. Some orchards were destroyed, and many horses and cattle killed State Senator Comstock's sorghum mill was wrecked.

About hslipost 10 at night Moflnbe made his appearance at th6‘-Turner House and dared several people who werein the sitting room to go out and fight, saying that he could lick or shoot-any man in the place. Word was speedily conveyed to Mr. Rankin as to the whereabouts of the man, and that officer, accompanied by s. nightwstchman named Wm. Johnston, proceeded to the spot. When they arrived McCahe moved off. but Rsnkin‘ followed him, whereupon the convict presented a loaded revolver n't the officer’s head. Rankin. seeing his life was in danger, immediately fired at Mc- Csbe and killed him, the ball passing through his left lung sndgmzing the right and causing hemorrhage. In the pocket of the man were found a. set of burglar-’5 skeleton keys of an ingenious description, plslnly showing his intentions. Rsnkin gave himself up to the Chief, but the Coroner’s jury exonerated him, and pom; mended him [or his bravery.

His address to the jury was an exhaustive review of the whole of the evidence, and he charged strongly against the accused on every point tamed by the defence. The jury retired at 110 and returned inâ€" to court; at 2 10 with a verdict of not guilty. The verdict was received with applause by the "multitude that thronged the court; which was promptly suppressed, and the accused now discharged was at once carried off by her fat-her to his home at Bulwer. The Rat Portage Progress says : It is reâ€" ‘ portui on good authority that it is the in- tention of the 0.1’. R. Co. to construct‘ another railway to the east of Rat Portage, to connect at Port Arthur. The proposed line will be located about 15 miles south 'ot the present Thunder Bay branch, and will begin west of Hawk Lake and have its terminus at Port' Arthur. The reason given for the abova is that although at pre- ent the present lineis in very good condition for a new road, it is deemed advisable not to have so many trestles.. The construc- tion of the projected line will no doubt ‘oost an enormous sum of money, but in order to ensure safety the company will under- take the task. Hawk Lake Will probably be the headquarters for the contractors. It will greatly benefit Rat Portage, how- ever, ss this will be the head source of supply. r Au Escaped Kingston Penilelinry Bird shot by n Consluble.

Apro- pos to the recent congress of trades unions in England, the Spectator points with appre- ciation to the fact that as these organiza- tions have grown stronger strikes have diminished in number and duration. The extent of the increase is indicated by the fact that five societiee, Whose numbers did not reach 60,000 in 1867. have more than doubled their number. One society,the Am- algamated Carpenters, has increased from 8,000 to 20,000 mmbors. The incomes of these societies have also more than doubled. It is also due the trades unions to note how extremely small a part of. their funds is devoted to maintaining strikes. 0f the whole income of these societies only 1 per cent. has gone to supporting strikes. “ Even societies which have been actually involved in disputes of this kind have spent but2 per cent. of their income in this way.” According to the Spectators idea, the unions have been of great use in preventing em- ployers from trying' to make good the deficiencies of had years by cutting down wages more than was just. They have also been of great use as mutual- benefit and insurance associations. “His Excellency the GovernorGeneral cannot leave Canada, witheut expressing to the militia. force of the Dominion the gratiâ€" fication he has experienced durirg his visits to many different. portions of this vast codintty in witneeeing the effoth made and the militarylspirit shown in the perform- ance of duties to which the militia. are milled.

The missionaries who are trying to con- 1 vert the Africans in the vicinity of Lake Tanganyika. have a very hard class of subjects to operate on. The natives are worshippers of spirits which they believe to have their residence in the waters. These spirits are numerous. and of greatly varying power, their power being mostly for mischief. All good and all evil proceed from the agency of these spirits. The natives try to keep the Eplritfl happy by offering human sacrifices. Thus they dispose of several thousand persons in the course of a. year. They would as soon offer up a missionary aea native, if they can catch the missionary under favorable circumstances. When it is not convenient to offer human sacrifices they make offerings of beads and cheap finery which they have acquired in trade.

The fast train on the Canada-Atlantic Railway, from Goteau‘to Ottawa, is attract-i ing a. good deal of_ attention in United States newspapers, all .agreeing that it'is the fastest trainron. the continent, and the fastest in the world eXoept ’the' Flying Dutchman. LVVhen Manager Linsley in August last first announced that alfast pasi‘ senger train would be run from Montre'al to 0011an 116 miluu in a house rule 2‘.) minutesâ€"and that the Ganadn~Atlantio RailWay would take the train from Coteau to Ottawa, 78 4-10 miles in 94 minutes, but little credence Was placed in the announce- ment. The Canadian Pacific Railway and also the Caliudai-Allantic had up to this time been running their fast trains between Montreal and Ottawa. 120 miles, in three hours, but a few weeks since the Canadian Pacific reduced its time by five minutes. It was predicted by'many railway men that v this lightning train could not make sche- dule time, and that such a fast train service as that announced would be a failure. All day succeeded day and the train arrived “on time," this ‘incredulity was followed by amazement, and now the successful running of the train for four shagexoiiea much interest in railway ci cles. Such a high rate of speed as that: daily made on the Canada-Atlantic can‘only be made with safety on a road which is first-class in every particular. Such a road is the Canada Atlantic. The line inns through a com- paratively level country, being somewhat broken about midway of the road, where the grade is some 40 feet to the mile. »There are two straight pieces of road of nearly 20 miles each. The curves are few, but there’ are several with a ourv. store of two degrees. Ottawa is some 200 feet higher than Goteau, consequently the average of grades is against the fest train westward. The fastest train in the United States is on the Pennsylvania Railroad, and runs from Jersey City to Philadelphia~ 90 milesâ€"in 1 hour and 52 minutes, the aver- age speed being 48 3-10 miles per heur. The Boston and Providence run the fastest train in New Englandâ€"44 7-10 miles per hour. The Canada-Atlantic was built under contract by Ben. D. G. Linrley, of Burlington, Vt, the Chief Engineer being Mr. Walter Snanly. Mr. Linsley is Presi- dent of the Burlington 135 Lammlle Rail- road,aud has been a railroad contractor for 30 years. His experience on the Rutland & Builirgton, Illinois (Jentral,Vermont 65 Canada, and other roads as ClVll engineer and contractor has accrued to the advan- tage‘of the Canada-Atlantic. The road is i built on the latest scientific principles so iiar as the grading, alignment and curva- l tures are concerned. The curves are built ‘ much longer than usual, and the turns are gradual and present a graceful outline. Manager Linsley has given much time and attention toward makingaperfect track, and no readjustment of the track is permitted without conforming to the exactness of a spirit level. Among those whose efforts, and money have done much toward pushing the Canada-Atlantic Railway to its present stage of completion areex-Gov. Gregory Smith, President of the Central Vermont Railroad ; Messrs. Booth and Perley, lead- ing lumber manufacturers of Ottawa, and Hon. D. A. McDonald and D. C. Linsleg. The road was 0 mpleted to the St. Law-1 rence River from Ottawa in the summer ‘of 1882, and the work of building the sec- tion'frcm Coteau to Alburgh Springs, Vt, where connection is made with the Gen- tral Vermont, is already well advanced. Much of the grading is done and 7 miles of the road have been laid with steel rails. When completed the road will be 132 miles in length, and will shorten the distance by rail between Ottawa andiBoston nearly 40 miles. The primary object of building the Canada-Atlantic Railway was to secure a short cut for the immense lumber business of the Ottawa Valley to New England points. The route is direct’and the grades are gradual and easy, the highest grade east being only 30 feet to the mile. To test the traffic capacity of the road Manager Linsley recently made up a train consist- ing of 40 loaded frexght cars, carrying 480 net H‘lih of freight, and this train W‘ drawn lT-iLU Ottawa lo Cum-nu by a “ field" luUWm'Jhch‘ Wth ease and in good time. and she screamed and crawled 31p of: the shelf where the boxes were.

And down the counter ‘ he went. losing his head as he slid past-5 a man with a. hatchet, and then presto! he i was up again by the. heels.

And then, in thirty-five seconds from his lust gruntâ€"dirty, hot-headed, noisy-the pig was hanging up in two pieo’es, cleaned, truL-quiled, iced. _', Phil Robinson, in that very charming book of his c‘alled “Sinners and Saints,” gives, to a nicbty, the operations of pork killing at! carried on in thiscity, which is both graphic and elaborate.

Mr. Darwin himself saw the face of this monkey reddened when attacked by another monkey, and he also adds that the “ seat pads ” also seem to redden under the influence of anger, although he could not “ positively assert that this was the case.” My monkey.. Jenny, when in a rage, blushed most distinctly. Ared hue shot over and obscured the normal yellow tint of the skin of the face, and I noticed that the “ seat pads ” occasionally also grew redder. Another curious fact concerning this monkey’s behavior when enraged con- sisted in the variations she exhibited when irritated by myself and by another person. If irritated by another person, she shook the cage and ohattered, while her face flushed like that of a human being in anger. If, on the other hand, I had occasion to reprove her, she darted down to the bottom of the cage, lay down on her belly, and, as often as not, concealed her face in the straw. The analogy between that ineffective orsuppressed rage in a human being, which is shown by the person throwing himself down on the ground â€" a feature seen familiarly in some childrenâ€"and the behavxor of Jenny under my reproof appears to me to be too exact to escape notice. Paddy, the Capuchin, on the con- trary, when enraged or frightened, used to retire to a corner of the cage and stand on his head, -uttering meanwhile the most plaintive cries in the Well-known shrill but musical voice of his race. On one occasion, when a servant had allowed Paddy to imbibe nearly half a glassful of champagne, he showed his alcoholic dissi- pation by standingly inanely on his head and vainly endeavoring to emit his familiar cry. Mr. Darwin mentions the case of a young female chimpanzee which, when enraged, “presented a curious exam- ple to a child in the same state, She screamed loudly with Widely-open mouth, the lips being retracted so that the teeth were fully exposed. She threw her arms wildly about, sometimes clasping them over 3 her head.She rolledon the ground,sometimes on her back, sometimes on her belly, and bit everything within reach.”â€"~Genticman's Magazine. ’An Iowa. ’woman claims that Gebrge Augubtus Sula didn‘t know what he was talking abouc when he sand that America. iauwomau'a kingdom, for, she says, ibis just. the orposite. .

W “ A Great “ll-ale Hunt in Shetland. An exciting whale hunt took place at West‘Goe,'Dunrossness, on Thursday, Sept. 20th, resulting in the capture of a shoal of twenty-eight whales. ' Early in the morn- ing a number of six-cared boatewere pro- ceeding to the fishing. when they observed the shoal disporting themselves close to Sumburgh Head. They immediately gave chase and succeeded in driving them all ashore. An ’eye-witness describes the scene of slaughter as wild in the extreme. Along the head of the V06 were spread the whales, lashing the water into foam in their death struggles. While in the midst of the blood and foam the men. wading waist deep in water, were soon going from fish to fiah and plunging lanoee into the monsters' sides. ‘ One big fellow managed to get his head'seaward, and away he went at a. great rate, sometimes below and some- times on the surface; but he had been wounded mortally, and he was easily brought ashore again.

Here is an item that should interest eo- ple with brains: Careful estimates s ow that three hours of hard study wear on the body more than a whole day of physical labor. The Germans have a saying: “With- out phosphorous no thought," and the con- sumptionof that essential ingredient of the brain increases in proportion to the amount of labor which the organ is called upon to perform. The'importanoe of the brain as a working organ is shown by the amount of blood it receives, which . is proportionately greater than that of any other part of the body. One-fifth of the blood goes to the brain, although its average weight is: only onefortieth of that of the body. Severe Drought and kncslruclion' Ko , Cotton and mines Crops.
