One of thelr chief industries is lace, which every- b':dy knows is very costly ; it does not take much of it to make a large sum. They also manufacture silks. The raw material is pruduced in warmer climates â€"Spuin, Italy, South of France, Greece, where the mulhexry trees flourishâ€"there the Belgians buy it and manufacture it into expensive cloth and they sell it to the very countries from where they im- ported the material.

There was a drover who trequently drove cattle or sheep from Belgium to France~â€"there were no railways in those dnys they all had to foot itâ€"he wasa dealer in a small way. he never had but a few heads of cattle or a small flock of sheeg, but he was apparently doing fairly well and his dealings with “the custom house quite satsifactory. ll- tugned out in the end that if his Cattle trade did not amount to much he carried on under cover of it another far more lucrative if not quite so legitimate. He had no one to lwlp him but a dog called Mouton. Mouton was very well trained. In frontof ihecuscnin [muse he would go round the IllllllHlld barking and snapping at them to bring i‘wu all in a bunch for the inspecâ€" tiun ut the officers; they all admired his cleverness and seeing him an intent (in his business never suspected anything. But, he was shy and surly and would not let. any one but his muster approach him. The [not is the drovar had most ingeni- oust invested Mouton with a false skin. and between the true and the false skin a great deal of valuable lace could be concwile'l. It is said of people who wear wigs that, they only succeed in deceiving themselves, but Mouton had one allover his budy for years before he was found nut and that only happened by accident. One day as theifllcers were inspecting ihr'cutle, Munton had a fight with (In- ill-llul' dog, and before his muster could interfere, holes had been tom in his wig and the “cat came will of the bag,”at any rate ilie lace did. After that. the drawer and dug were seen no more. My inform- ant was a custom house uficer, a fellow puSan-fi-er I met accidentally on a.

' A public meeting in the interest of Mr. Wm J Hill, the Reform candidate for West York, was held in Victoria Hill, 'l‘hornliill, on Tuesday evening The chair was filled by Mr. T Lanv, and the speakers were Mr. Russell, Mr. Hlll, Dr. Gilinuur and Mr. Ruwell for the Liberal party, and Mr. Harvey and Mr. Neville for the opposition. party, and Mr. Harvey and Mr. Neville for the oppositiuu. Ex-Warden Russell was the first to be Called [0 the platform. He briefly re- ferred to‘Mr. Hill’s past record as a pub- hu man, stating that for six years he had done excellent services as an alderman in 'l‘nruntu, and that in Jamgury last the electors in York township Were pleased to return him as their reeve by u. majority uI over {200. He beslmke for support of the electurs of West the 2th) of June. said the spea paid back t0 licenae fund ayafeiu, but Government from 6,JOU MEETING AT THORNHITL (To BE CONTINUED.)

Mr. HI“ pight, he will had no one hlfu fife York on The‘ Hm the {h e not contended that in 2'2 years it had not been shown that the Mowat Government had ever taken a dollar illegally out Of the public client. The Parliament build- ings in Toronto had been built With scarcely any extras, whereas the Lange- vin Block in Ottawa. cost $300,000 more than the contract price, and the Curran bridge more than $240,000. In reference to the sectarian crv Mr. Hill denied most emphatically, as some people had re- ported, that he was ever a member of t‘lo PP.A. “I stand upon a plutfurm that. was hid down more than 1800 years ago, and that platform is ‘do unto others as you would have others do unto you."3\1r. Hill was loudly cheered at the close of an admirable address. Mr. Neville fullowed. He dld not lllfl certain remarks about. lawyers made h; the last. speaker, and retorted that law yera were just as honest as contractors 0 builders. Mr. Neville, however, felt satis fied that whether Mr. St. John or Mr Hill was elected, \Vth York was sure u having a. respectable gentleman for next member. The same, said he, mi; be stated relative to the elmmcter in ability of Mr. Meredith and Sir Uliv Muwat. Mr. Neville took up the great part of his time in reading and discussi the Muldoun affidavits as published the News a. week ago. He claimed tr the documents showed that personati had taken place at the East general ell tion in Toronto, but he was not prepar to say that: the Reform candidati Messrs. Tait and McDougall, were an of the fact. He prophesied that 1‘ Mowat would be defeated on the Bfiili this month. Dr. Gilmour was greeted with round after round of applause when he took the platform. He was in excellent spirits, and seemed to thuruughly enjoy criticiz- ing the remarks of his opponents. He complimented West. York in the selec- tinn of their candidate, and spoke of Mr. Hill’s gnod alrilitv and sterling worth. In Mr. St. Jnhu’a case, said he, the man sought. the Constituency, whereas with Mr. Hill, the eunstituency sought the man. The doctor caused much laughter by showing the different platforms which Mr. Meredith had cunstructed in order tr; get into power. In 1870 he had a tin:- ber policy-pin 1883 he tried the “Facts for Irish Electors” to make the Catholic; believe that the Mowat Governwent were their oppressurs. In 1886 he tried the Russ Bible, in 1890 Equal Rights was the principal cly, and now in 1894 by the assistance of the P. P. A. he tries t) make the Protestants believe tliat_l'v‘lr. Muwat is granting favors to the Roman Catholics. The doctor closed with a strong appeal to the electurs of West York to support Mr. Hill and the Mowat Gnvernment. Mr. Rowell was the lust. speaker He gave an excellent addcess, although the hour was getting late. He ridiculed the Mnldoon etury, which had been bittletL up for four years, and was lit-might us merely as an election cry. He showed Mulch-on, the acknowledged personatur, to be an ex convict from :1 New York prison. and thought that his Word could Bno pnson, and tm not be believed.
