With all this, the United States might have bad its presidential elections, if it haukered after such quadrensial blessirgs, just us we now might elect by popular vote a premier and call him president, without losing our birth-right.Common citizenship preserved, everything else would have been possible.The race could have been organized uuiler Bexible forms in this or that direction, ss public opinion demanded, and as we became ripe for this or that step in advance, in the direction of further unification.Defence and foreign affairs would, of course, have been entrusted to & supreme representative council, for such a council would have iittie or nothing to do.What nation, or combination of nations, would attack an hundred million of Euglish-speaking men, #10 held every point of vantage ou the planet, whose fleets could blockade every enemy's porte, and no section of whom could be reached without crossing sn ocean?This supreme council might have its sphere gradually enlarged.Even if, in the exercise of the political and commercial inde pendence conceded to the various sections, different tariffs and other differences had evolved, it would probably come to be seen that » free interchange of products and manufactures, common postage and copyright, perhaps, also, a sommou naval ard diplomatie service would be in the common interest.As for an army, it would not be needed ; and each section would bave its own police force, mounted or otherwises armed with batons or revolvers as occasion demanded.All this might have been.But, why have that is valuable beyond price and that basin it the promise and potency of much lmore, aud to indicate lines of setion for the future, we must see clearly what we are not to part with and wbat we ought to seek.As regards the national life, we are trustees for posterity, and we must act in their interest as well as in our own.We must mow where duty poiots, or some day we may be burried faa different direction bya gust of passion or a popular leader, or the supposed exigencies of party.And ! be Ueve that ail that is needed to secute the eventual accomplishment of any end is to eonvince the Foplish-speaking race that such is the end that it is right to seek\u2019 Politicians may smile ineredulously at sush a faith, but it has always been vindisated by results.They may act on the principle of seeking only the material and immediate interests of the country, sud may tell you that every man bas his price.Sueh politicians are not statesmen.It is true of perbaps an immense majority of men individually that each hes his price, Bat it is not true of any people.As an English statesman sald of the House of Common, it contains some men much wiser than others, but no member as wise as the House, so it may be said that there are in s Christian nation some meu of tender con.seience, but no man with à conseience no true with regard to publio duty ns the nation itself, There is collestive morality a well as collestive wisdom.Let the Eng- lish-opeaking race be convinsed comserning any polioy that God wills it, and they will vob their faces in the direction of that poliey.La\", maioing iu stats of tutelage or suspended developmeut, but we shall lose in character, and we cannot afford tha\u2019.of this :zuth that inclines some fine young expedition to that of the Nila, as we come -hort of these in sny respect wo bave not attained our ma ority.It will be bad for us to be much longer in that position.If we are freemen, we mns* assume ali that freedom and manhoo i volve.Je is to our serions loss i! we dc We muy save a litlie money Ly re It is à gtimpse fellows to shout for Independesce.But what des Independence mean' We are iudependent niready, thourl we may uot epell the word with a capital.Weelect our væn Parlinment, and we can J» what we Ita, ood obtain from the Mother Country whatever Parliament demaud< in the uame of Canads.But.dows it follow tnat we shosld demand whit elephacts?Hues the spectacle of what ix vow going on in the United Mtates an overpowering attraction for ue?Sensible men there are conridericy whether it is not possible to rid themselves of the quadrennial self-inflicted agony that congests all basiness, and bope- lessiy iowers the tone of public iife.lu it independence to pick up what is likely to be their cast-off finery?!

\u201d and also, \u2018\u2019 to not \u2018reckon the colonies really belonging to ** England,\u201d a» habit betrayed by the mode of speech, as for instance, when *\u2018 asked \u2018what the Euglish population is, it \u201cdoes not oseur to them to reckon \u2018in the population of Canaës and * Australia.\u201d We have Lad te complain of prominent English statesmen who spoke of Canadians as if they were inhabitants of the United States.It in well, however, thay Englishmen are awaking to the fact, not a moment too soon, as current events show, \u2018 that,\u201d as Professor Seeley declares, \u2018\u2018 the \u201c greatest English question of the future \u201c must be what is to become of our Second ** Empire, and whether or no it may be ex.\"pected to go the way of the first (the * United States).\u201d Will Canads, Australia and South Africa separate from England and become independent states, or, in the case of the first, join the United States, thus leaving Great Britain to become in the course of time a second rate power, while Russia and the United States beeome alates of the first mag nitude, or will \u2018 Eogland hold to.\u201cgether in a federa! union countries \u2018\u2018 very remote from each other,\u201d and thus \u201ctake rank with Russis and the United * States in the first rank of states mes.\u2018sured by population aud ares and in \u201ca bigher rank than the states of the con- \u2018tinent.\u201d This is the question for the solution of which Mr.Seeley has studied the expansion of England.Ia its very nature, he contends, the modern system of coloni- mation is different from that of the Greeks, which was a mere biving off of a portion of the people who besame at once independent of the mother city or state, or that of the Latins, whieh was dependent upon the state, but was a mers method of garrison: ing & conquered country without maintain- ingan army in it.Modern colonization was a state protected emigration of people of the nation, who, going out of the state, yet carried the state with them.The ides was tbat wherever Englishmen were, thers was England.Some of Great Britain's largest colonies were conquered, after having been settled by people of other nationalities, but these were afterward settled by Anglo-Saxons, who have besome the dominant and most numerous race, and are now true colonies, forming an extension of the Eoglish nationality as well as the English State.\u201cThe chief forces \u2018* whieh hold s community together and *\u201c cause it to constitute ene state are their \u201ccommon nationality, common religion \u2018\u2018 and common interest.\u201d Professor Seeley notices tbe presence of the Freneh in Can- ads \u2018 an alien element,\u201d whieh, he says, *\u201c dwindles and ls lixely te be lost in \u201ctbe English immigsatien, and whose \u201canimosity has been pacified by the \u2018\u2018introduetion of federal institations.\u201d This, of course, is a great mistake, as the French race does not dwingle but increases naturally very ranch {sater than the Anglo: Baxzon, and in spite of emigration the race is not likely to be lost.It is likely to oe- cupy for many centuries » growing place upon the eastern shores of this sontinent, and thet must be counted upem.Ia the South African colonies the nationality dift- and the natives, increase more rapidly than the English, who are no: greatly recruited by Auglo-Saxon emigration, The solution, 80 fur as South Africa is eonserned, may be in ita being bauded over to the Germany when Germany euters into Holland's estate, In Australia the Englivh race are alone, the natives having died off like \u201ca squad of crows.\u201d Professor Seeley concludes that *'the \u201c\u2018 Esglish Empire is, on the whole, free \u2018* from that weakness which Las brought \u2018down wost empirer, the weskness of be.\u2018\u201c ing a mere mochanieal forced union of + alien natioualities,\u201d Thote who hold that the Empire will fall to pieces take the ground that the common interests of the different parts of the Empire are uot strong enough to bind them together.Professor Beeley believes that even if this bond were wanting the Empire *\u2018 is united by blood \u201curd religion, and, though circametances \u2018\u2018msy ve imagined in whieh these ties ** might snap, yet they ate strong ties, and \u201cwill only give way before some violent |: \u201c diesolving force.\u201d Eogland has an interest iu uniting her colonies permanently to hersolf, Professor Seeley says, because \u2018* they ure lands for the landleas and pros.\u2018* perity for those in straightened circumstances,\u201d and England's stroogest interest is in having room in Greater England or those who cannot find it in Lesser England.I; is because Koglishmen moving from Eugland to the Colonies is regarded as having left tbe country as much as if he had gone to the United States or to Peru, that the advantaçeof having un- occupiel land which English people couid setile upon and still remain Eoglish bag been lost sight of Ly Ecglishmen at home.Fmigration, under these circumstances, \u201c is not a rymptom or a cause of weakness, \u201c not at all a draining off of vitality, but, \u2018\u2018 on the coutraty, the greatest evidence of \u2018* vigor and the best means of increasing it.\u201d Of course it is a great advantage to the Colonies to be an emigration field for Anglo- Saxon peuple.We do not, however, find that emigrants aro much moved by the consideration that Cauads is part of the Empire when they are choesing between the United States e:d Canads ; indeed, those who do consider it are, like Mr.Hugbes, far too devoted cosmopoli\u2018es not to show their indepecdence of provivcialism by choosing the United States, which has the advantage of not being merely \u201coud of our celonies,\u201d a thing possessed and, therefore, despised.A union, however nominal, which would do away with that feslicir in Eoglish people wouid be a long step toward resl unity.In spite of common race, religion and interests may not the Mother Country and Colonies separate! The United States separated from £ogland., * Colonies are \u201c Vike frite,\u201d ssid Turgot, \u2018* which cling *\u201c to the tree only till they ripes.As soon \u201cas America can take cars of herself, she \u2018will do what Carthage did.\u201d Will net the maxim which proved true in the case of the United S:ates prove rue in the case of Australis and of Canada?Professsr Seeley answers no, because emigrat/*4 to New England was a real exodas\u2014that §s.it was a religious emigratiem, 2 fesmor Seeley holds bat \u2018religions is \u201cthe great state building prineiple; \u2018where there is a church, a state grows up in time.The founders of the Second Empire * have not sprung ont \u2018* of any religious exodus.Their founders \u2018carried no gods with them.\u201d They will remain true to their home gods, *\u2018 will not + become state builders,\u201d and * will not \u2018* sever themselves from all the traditions \u201cand memories of the Eagland where \u2018* their fathers lived for a thousand years,\u201d because vo stionger cevotion bids them do so.The Colonies rebelied, not because great c'aims were made upon them, uot because of clashing interests, but because the claime that were made were unjust.\u201cIt * was because they were colonies under the \u201c old colonial system, and at a moment \u2018* when the system iteelf was administered \u2018\u201cin an unusually narrow-minded and \u2018\u2018 pedantic way,\u201d that they rebelled.kt was pot simply à matter of fruit falling because it was ripe.The victory of free trade swept away for ever the old colonial system which made the trade of the colonies tributary or subsidiary to that of the Mother Country.The colonies now-a-days have the broadest freedom.Tuers could be no true union between Great Britain and the colonies in the eighteenth century, because of the distance.* This impedi- \u201cment exists no longer.Boience \u201chas ¢ given to the politiqel organism & new \u201c cireulation, wbich is steam, and a new \u2018 nervous system, which ie elestricity.\u2018* These new conditions make it neceesary \u201c to reconsider the whole colonial problem.\u201c They make it in the first place possible \u201c actually to realiza the old Utopia of à \u201c\u2018Grenter Britain, and at the same time \u2018they make it meceseary to do so.\u201d The quarrel between the New England States and the Mother Country might have been avoided had parlismentary representation been possible, but it was not possible, because, as Burke declaree, of the vast distance which separated ttem from England.Now that science has overcome the dificulties of distance, other diffoulties whieh exist.Professor Beeley says, might be overcome, as the United States snd Canads have overcome them.Ecgiand\u2019s relations.past, present and future, with India form the second in the two courses of leetures of which tbis book is mede np, but the Indian problem is a different one from that of the colonies.Of the relations of the future Eogland and the United States, Professor Heeley atiemp's to forecast nothing, though he admits their supreme interest.\u2018\u2018 There is no other example in \u2018history of two great states related to enob \u201c\u201c other as England and the United Bites \u2018\u2018 are related.\u201d * There ls no topic so fre- \u201cquant as this of the mutusl infinenee of \u201cthe branches of the English rule.The *\u2018 whole fature of the planet deponds upon it\u201d And yet, though Professor Seeley finds it dificult to consider the United States ne not à colony, the possibility of & union of the Anglo-Saxon race whisk will embrase, it dose not occur to him.LLC ot ve at mem foe the purpose of puredesin gare, billierd.laying, ote, violate thelr fa 00

no more uermit nations.Tolegraphio communications can be made to encirele the earth six times an hour, No plo can Kve Lehind a screen.In our day it is provincial not to be cosmopolitan.As Blamarek has said: © The whole globe « has become a single chess-board, and no « one can make a move intelligently in say \u201ccorner of it without understanditg the + whole of it.\u201d As] read tbe sky of this extraordinary century, certain great outlines of » new solonce of cosmopolitan politics are slowly but distinotly rising tos commanding place smong the signs of our times.1.Communiestion between nations\u2019 is becoming wo swift and pervasive that it must lead to contact among nations, and contact must lead te a necessity lor cooperation, and a necessity for co-copera- tion lo conference, and conferenes to concert Of motion, and concert to virtual mora! confederation.2, Commerce itaelf, in spite of its selfishness, and eves On accoun! of it, may be ex- peste to become a chief support for schemes to facilitate intercourse among nations and promote universal international morality.3.The growth of Christianity is s0 great that in the prosen: state of the world it is responsible for the maintenance not only of national but of international morality.4.But international morality cannot be manwained without leading to the reformation of international law.B.International law cauzot be reformed both in theory and in practice without establishing à body of precedents in cosmopolitan polities that will gradually lesd to virtual moralconfederation among advanced nations, 6.What is wanted is not strictly & union of Christian, or even of Protestant or Enz- lish-speaking nations, but an alliance consistent at once with self-government in the different vations and with a cosmopolitan and Christian idternationalism in their concerted action.What definite measures of international reform are required by the growing swift- neds of communication and closeness of contact among advanced populations, and especially by the demands of international morality : 1.Arbitration in plave of war in every cass to which it can be applied.Treaties including agreements to use arbitration before resorting to war.Mr.Cobden presented to Parliament in 1849 a petition of 200,000 names asking that arbitration be made a remedy for war 1m every case to which it is applicable.Mp, Bright supported the petition.It was no granted.Its champions were regarded atice.In 1873, however, the House ons passed = resolution previog \"18 een to put » provision making arbitration & remedy for war into every treaty she should make with foreign nations.In 1874 the American House of Representatives pasred a similar resolution.President Garfield announced that arbitration was the settled policy of his administration.A proposal has been made Ly Peru and is favored by many American statesmen tu call a convention of representatives of all the political powers on this continent with à view of ronking arbitration the rale of this hemisphere.With the Alabama award at the head of the list, nearly a score of oases of the sucoessful settlement of international differences by arbitration are now matters of recent history.It would be very difienlt now for Englis aking nations, or any two American nations, to accept war with each other without trying arbitration first as a method of satttlement.At Geneva was spun by Clotho a thread which Lachesis twiste and Atropos seems unlikely soon to sever.Spiv, spin, Cletho, spi, Lashesis twist and Atropos sever, Strong ls death and strong

are used, for there are no bystanders, Bat if two men Sght in a crowded street or audience the bystanders have » right to say something as to how the swords shall be swung.Nations are crowded ss bystanders around every modern war.The interests of neutrals ought to narrow to the uttermost the ares and duration of all military conflict.3.The neutralization of all intercceanio oazals and the exemption of all the great lines of commerce, so far ne prasticable, from the ravages of war, When the Panama Canal is cut, why should the United Slates not guarantee its military neutrality ¥ No battle should be fought in it, nor in the Suez Canal, nor within the watera near the ends of either of these international highways.Ia Australia [ have heard statesmen and preai- donts of boards of commerce go so far as to say that after the Panama Canal is cut the time will come when Cobden's doctrine will look practies!, that America and England should guarantee the military neutrality of the chiof routes in the Atlantic and the Pacific.4.The eomplete abolition of the slave trade on the ses.5.Common laws as to eopyrights and patente.6.Postal union faellitien of all kinds.7.International bills of exchange.8.An international police.9.The extension of international law to the Orient, Afries and all the weakest nations.10.À soholariy oodification of iater- nations] law as far as it now

themselves can be roughly guessed from a perusal of the summary of Mra.Joyce's TI(E \u2014 try was subsequently questioned.There, is, it was said, but a small part of India adapted to wheat culture, and the competition from this part can never be formidable.But it was also asserted that while Iudia is already & large exporter of wheat only à small part of the territory in which wheat can be grown has been devoted to that purpose : that labor iu India is only paid one-eighth ot the wages it réceives in Amerlea: and that transportion from India is greatly oheaponed by the certainty of obtaluing return ear- goes for grain ships.This latter point is one which Canadian and American farmers would do well to consider.They have it in their power to put commerce between Europe and America on & sound basis, and thus relieve themselves of one of the disabilities they lie under as wheat producers.So long as they allow themselves to be deluded with the hope of à home market created by protection to manufactures, they must aubmit to 8 deduetion from the price of their grain on Account of the deficiency of freight for return cargoes from Europe to America.The greatest danger is that the consideration of this important matter may be put off too long, and that the grain market of Enrope may be appropristed by others before our own farmers realize their position.It need hardly be said that in this matter the interest of those who, in the East, raise dairy produce or meat for export is scarcely less than that of wheat growers of the far West and North-West.The last point raised in the discussion which we chall notice just now ix the importance attached by some of the speakers to the Fludson Bay's route.This was eape- cially the case with Mr.Carrathers, the eminent English scientist, who has seen much of the North-West for himself.The general conclusion arrived at may be thus stated : it the Hudson's Bay route is available for nny considerable portion of the year, the cost of transporting grain from the Nosth-West of Canada and the United States will be so much reduced as to greatly lessen, if not totally anuibilate the danger of competition from India.On the question of feseibility, Mr.Carruthers, of course, offered no opinion.but in the light of his and other warnings, the necessity of obtaining reliable information on the subject becomes & most pressing one.\u2014 A BRITISII CUSTOMS UNION, A paper remarkable for the propositions it contained was that of Mr, Stephen Bourne, upon the \u2018Interdependence of the British Empire,\u201d resd before the \u201c Economic\u201d section of \u2018u» ritish Association.To show how great the present interdependence of the Dritishk Empire was Mr.Bourne presented statistics showing that during the last ten years twenty.four percent of England's foreign trade was with the Colonies.Taking Canads as a representative colony he found that of all the produce exported nearly one-half found its way to the United Kingdom, while of all she imported the United Kingdom supplied two-fifths.But great as the interdependence of the British Empire is, Mr.Bourne would have it made greater still, and in this he would seem to be only anticipating the future.The very startling conclusion waa drawn from the figures given by Mr.Bourne, that if the trade with foreign countries other than the Colonies continued to decrease at the rate it had done it would cease altogether within twenty years Thers is, of course, no absolute decrease of trade with those countries which have sdopted protective policies during the last few years, but on the contrary there is an increase in the value of the foreign trade.The portion of the whole foreign trade decreases, but that is besause ofjthe marvellous growth of the trade with the colonies.Ua the whole, thorefore, it is the proportion not the absolute amount of trade that decresses.That, however, does not make any less significant the fact that within a quarter of a century, atthe pre/ent rate of increaseof the eolonial trade, the foreign trade of England will be comparatively unimportant.Mr.Bourne, with this prospect in view, proposes the startiing policy of forming the British Empire into & commercial zollversin, which would absolutely refuse to trade with outside nations, except on à pure free trade basis on both sides.Why should we not do this, asks Mr.Bourns.The British Fm- pire is confined to no one zone, extends over fertile countries in every zoue, capable of produeing every article which necessity or luxury demands.It is capable of becoming perfectly self-contained, of becoming completely independent without aa- erifice, and thus becoming practically independent of other nations.Owing to the wide latitude of the United States it has been able with great natural resourses to prosper with a proteetive policy.Its weakness, which is now being manifested, is owing to the fact that itis not espable of being made completely self- contained.The British Empire is wide, why should it not adopt with complete success the system whieh the United States actopted with partial success?The objent of this policy would be to enforce free trade among the nations.The British Empire would, under the new polioy, admit to the zollrerein any nation which would enter it.This scheme is not brosohed for the first time, but it is an impossible one.It means rossing nothing eles than the union of the British Empire under a high protective tariff like the United Btates.The writer may be aorreet in saying thet England would endure this exclusive system better than the United States, besause it includes countries and olimates as diverse ae the world affords, but it has not the rapid expansion of the latter country.Dut why Eogland should sbut itselt off frem tbe commerue it now enjoys it is not easy to ve.If itm objest was to induce other nations te adopt free trade, by suddenly forsaking that aystem itself, the means seers ill adspted to the end.As for the Colonies, those of them whieh now have free trade would add nothing to England by the change, and thees whioh now have protection would simply be asked to give np all that that cherlshed institution claims for iteslt.1f our Canadian manulaeturers, for instance, are to open their markets to England they need not trouble themselves mued about MONTREAL WEEKLY =a about

Baker said thet Gordon would probably find himself powerless.When the fall of Berber and the rieing of the Northern Nile tribes eut of Gordon from Lower Egypt, ani mary looked for the urrival of the news of the fall of Khartoum snd General Gordon's death, General Baker deolared that General (Gordon was probably safe enough owing |\" to his fighting qualities.When an expedition across from Suakim to Berber was first spoken of, as if it could be accomplished by a few troops sent to clear the vicinity |b: of Suakim, General Baker declared that an expedition for the relief of Khartoum could only go by the Nile.General Baker's predictions have been so invariably fulfilled that when he declares against the flat bottomed boat expedition, his declaration must carry weight.It must be remembered, however, that General Baker in de- elaring against the expedition by water, has in mind the failure of his own boat expedition up the Nile.Gonersl Baker went and expested to be joined there a few months later by his vessels which were to Ro by way of the Nile.His vessels did not reach Khartoum until à year after he had left it for Gondokoro.The vessels were, however, manned by Egyptians who could not be got to work by the few European officers who had command.The Canadians will work arid their example will tell upon the natives who secompany them.Their fellow-workers, the Kroomen, will prove, itis to be feared, s poor lot.They are Congo natives whe are sold into slavery by their chiefs and have been found useful by Stanley in bis work of making the Congo navigable.They are used to

attention to a most important polat not provided for.- Bo are we, in Canada, face to face withthe problem of centralization, which nobody imagined would emanate from the practice of principles in the British North America Act of 1807.As wise and clever as may have been that step of the legislation of both the British and Canadien cabinets, something has oe- curred recently showing a defect in the whole\u2014and we are now in presence of that difficulty.The same thing took place after 1791, after 1841 also, the dates of our two former Constitutions.No wonder such upprovided circumstavces imposed themselves upon the consideration of statesmen.Greece, Rome, France aud England have seen the same facte.The writers of our days bave to meet with the old question, which every mother expresses over the cradle of ber sn: ' What do you thiok this child will be!\" To start politionl organization isthe same as to launch your children in the world.In 1791, as well as in 1541, the best calculated efforts were brought into force, Nevertheless, the result was different from what was anticipated.But the mind of tbe people is now enlarged.We can foresee mors than could be appreciated forty years sgo, considering that no one is interfering with the actua) state of facts, and that all hands are called to join and usite to prepare the future.We are asked to answer {wo main questions: 1st.Would it be an advantage to the British Empire to help the various colonies to form groups, and to confederste themselves in the imitation of Canada.2nd.Will the Canndian Dominion muintais itself, aud if so, what is likely to happen in the future! \u2018The first point is one which I fee! inclined to say very little upon.Let us say that the time has passed for mother conutries to bave sway over their * plautations.\u201d An immense intellec- tas! work for freedom has taken place during this ceatury in every part of the globe where ine British flag floats.Nation- Alitios have sprung up everywhere\u2014they must live and be respected.If England countersct them, they will sever their connection and way repeat the history of the United States, Consequentiy it is of the utmost importance for the Empire to see \u201cthat those colonial governmenis are well treated and that they do not set the Empire aaide the rame au ts done legally with a graudmothber uonble to attend to the busi- uess of the family.Prudence bere indi- ostes what is the proper way to pursue.In she meantime it is the most profitable to Grest Britain, inasmuch as any attempt at molestation on ber part would bring » real and effective opposition from the colonies and a cold feeling not to be overcome by subsequent concessions.If treated with respect, the Dominions of the British realm will only be teo proud to retsin their place in the ranks of the Empire, and such acknowledgment of their fidelity will contribute largely, and far more than the egoistic calculations of European Cabinets, to keep them united with the Home Government.Ia this conjune- tare the whole world would witness sn unprecedented phenomenon, that is to say, five or six widespread nations baving but one sentiment, ons governmental tradition, one historical record and ali their veneration attached to one point: Eogland.Their tendancy for tte supremacy of the name of Great Britain would influence all the civilized nations outside of Europe.This, 1 consider, would be the greatest thing that ever was under the sun.Eminent meu for the English Parliament could be recruited as well from New Zealand, Afrion, Australis or Canada ae from the British Isles Itisto be remembered that the Honorable Joseph Howe advocated the represen- lation of the Colenies in the Imperial House, and that a party imbued with the same ides is now urging the application of that prissiple, but they are behind time! In the days when Mr.Howe spoke or wrote, no such thing as independence or even organization of the Colonies was dreamt of.Twenty-five years have chaug- ed the situation.Colonies would gain nothing now by being represented in the Westminster buildings.No law could be enacted in London that could make the Plantations obey.Therefore we must, as archæologi etors such conceptions amongst the schemes of the past ; never carried out.The second point touches us mors closely oven.At the ontsst I will say that our neighbors may be called the enemy, and if they choose to conquer ue, this matter is one that necossitates no explanation.But in case the United States should not tronble Canada, what may bsppeo ?Two suppositions are likely to be adopted by thoorists.1.The great Republic will break Into fragments, and we wili be one of the powers governing Ameries, on account of eur position and number.2.No change will take place, and we will turn to bes very compact English people, both on account of the form of government, tradition and reapeot for & recognised empire, and also out of the necessity for » emall nation to partake In the benefit of a strong league, or union, or international combination.Natione, aa well as individuals, mixture «f ruces in Canada This is a puzzle for the publie of tbe British Isles only, No drawback is anticipated bere from that » of things.The requite- ments of the country, the form of government, the climate, the rurul life, » broad field for owing gensiatione, à good soil\u2014 all that the Prenob acyle influence des mil- ieur\u2014favor the theory of peace and trau quillity for along period yettorun.I don\u2019 believe that difference of origin, religion and language la a sources of either weakness or trouble iu & country situated as Old and New Cansda are now.The par- tleular spirit or genius of ewh of these is rather w guarantee tha: we will enjoy the benef: of all taey can produce, snd that none of their defects can influence the body as a whole, Taey will acquire {rom one suother what each of them lacks.It is a folly to prevent a pation from takiag adrantage of every ehanen 10 improve and fortify her character.Nations uniformly constituted have always a weak point in themselves by which they eink at s given moment.Cousequently I fail to see a dis- advantsge in the mixture of populations amongst us, \u2014far from that, [ am convinced it is profitable.The problem of our future lies complotely in another direction.Look at the so-called Englishmen of Cauada ; they were entirely ** English\u201d thirty years ago, now they coal! themselves \u2018\u2018 Canadians,\u201d Ose generation only, horn on this seil, has sufficed to perform euch à miracle.The Irish and Scotch, are gradually following the same programme.As for the Uermans Intely arrived here, they are very quickly turned into Canadiaus also.If you refer to the Freuch-Canndianx, every wun in Caunda knows that it would be burd to make Frenchmev of France out of their stock.Geographically speaking, our Conf-ters.tion crosses the contin-n' from ess: to west and meets tha two oceans, embracing a climaterie zone which is about the same atl the length and breadth of it.1 should aay that in such case, commercial interests are likely to be always identical throughout the Dominion, therefore pot creating any of these difficulties that exist Letween indastrial and agricultural sections, which so often in history have proved to be fatal to » iarge country like ours.It may be said that the peril of future days will coms out of a policy of centralization, if the Ottawa cabinet ever adopt such « course.The natural tendency of the Federal mi: istry will be toattempt measures of that kind, consequent upon the idea, now pretty well Japread in certain Provicces, thatthe central parliament is required todo great thiugs\u2014saire grand, as it has been said.Be eure the small Provinces will resist such sn atempt and that they will force Ottawa to withdraw from that ground.For this purpose they will invite the House of Commons to examine the condition upen which the British North Americas Act was based, namely, a simple delegation of powers granted to the Federal Parliament by the Provinces, for the good administra- tien of a certain clase of public intercets reflecting upon the whole of this vast Union.These powers do not belong properly to the Federal Parliament, and they must not be considered aa a privilege through which the influence of the provinces can be snnthi- Inted at any time.Suppose for a moment that this point of view is abandoned\u2014a re- Rular antagonism will commence between the Provincial and the Federal interests, resulting no doubt in the breaking up of the Union.The small bodies will destroy the large one.The keystone of the Dominion is to be found there.It ie no more possible for Ottawa to dietats to the Provinces with advantage to both, than it is for London to rule the colonies and keep them under her thumb for the good of the Empire.BENJAMIN SULTE THE ENGLISH ARTILLERYMEN.(From Our Own Correspondent.)

forest tress in Canada are due to physical conditions and differences in climate.resulting from dit- ferouces !m these conditions.The northern half of the American continent consista on the one aide, of enormous stretches of continuous land and bas, on the other in its midst.tm- menses areas of water and widely snd deeply indented shores\u2014 [Labrador and the great section of eountry lying between Hudson Bay and the Great Lakes snd Gulf of St Lawrence belog virtuslly one immense peninsuls.The double effect ot'a northern latitude, and the presence of these great bodies of water 1s very marked in the lower general temperature, the shorter summers and more severs winters.\u2018These influences check the northera range of forest tress beyond the outlat of Lake Superior, and, with the aid of the branch Labrador current, prevent their extension down the St Lawrence below Quebec.The great chain of lakes from Superior to Untario have not only their effect on temperature, but, by their great width, create a barrier to tbe northward extension into Canada of many United States forest trees.À remarkable feature in forest distribution is the fact that immediately west of Lake Superior many of the most important trees, as whits pine, bass wood, red oak snd sugar maple are nolonger found.The prairie appears to form a barrier to westward distribution \u2018The prairies were probably at one {ime coversd The effect of thie has baen to create à less rainfall, & quicker drainaxe from tbe soil, à dry atmosphere and constant exposure to high praicie winds, all of which appear to be inimiesi to many forest tress.British Columbia has n disunctive forest aren of ltsown.The trees Jarçelr of the pine family, and, With seven eoptions, do not range east of the Rocky Mountains.They are

How they moat bate the everlasting spelling, reading and arithmetio ! They sre cften enirasted to young teachers, with so much work to be mastered for each week.If the required progress is not made, this Jouzg teacher gots the blame, so he crams and drills with all his wight, snd probably by the examination day most of this thirty percent manage \u201cto pass under thoex- aminers rod.\u201d Thus, out of our school of cne hundred children, eighty may te brought up to passing Joint.bat of theas several will very bly ail through accidents.One may be detected in tryiog to \u201ccopy,\u201d or in some other kind of mischief, and \u201csailed\u201d by the irate jnepector a8 a punishment to both teacher snd scholar.Une or two more may fail through nervousness or misunderstandicg and often theses will be children of whose tuccess the teacher has felt ce But now we have tke remaining twenty scholars to consider.()! these, at least, ten are utterly bopelers, scme are dull in intellect, others are subject to weakness of body, or have been absent from school through illcess just long enoogh to make it impossible for them to pass, but long enough to compel the teachers to present them for examination.Bome of these may be withheld on presentation of a certificate signed by a doctor or the managers; but the inepeotor will be very cious about them, and will probably decide that at least half of them most not be exempted.The other ten will be the children of Lhe Jowest poor, who have been neglected in every way since babyhood.They have not been sent to school at all, till perhaps st six cr seven years of age, the attendance cfficer has hunted them out; and, after all possible excures have failed, they bave been dragged or driven to school by mothers as unwilling as themselves.Need we say that, under the existing system of exami- nmion, such children are not welcome ?They oan only bring trouble and discredit to the already overworked and worried teacher.Por.haps they have some too late ip the year to be eligible by attendance for the next ezatoins- tion, and {bey therefore take their place in the \u201cDunces\u2019 class.\u201d Every nerve of teaching power is being strained to the utmost to prepare those who wust be examined, and others must take their chance till they too become eligible for examination.|, ben oll who are #0 hopelessly ignorant as to be incapable of passing the lowest standard open to them, are the greatoet rourne of un- reat in the teacher's life.Eapecially is this the case with older \u201cInfants,\u201d who, if they are seven, even if only seven on the last day of the echool year, must be examined in Standard I, By bard and patient work be might teach mnob, if they would only come regularly and remain long enough, and most them could be got rendy to pase the your after.Bat this year's examination bea to be met first and this time they will certaicly fail.Every failure in & disgrace.Neither in- spactors nor managers will know why & child has failed : aoû though » \u2018\u2018failore\u201d often represents more work thas a \u201cpass,\u201d no one but the teacher knows that.Every failure brig, down ibe peroeniage, and percentage ls credit, ition and duily bread to the teacher ; so be is A to keep the names of thees unlacky children off his rohedale {f possible.It is often enough to dothie.[ie has only to sternly ea.foros the ordinary rules of the school in most cases, and the undisciplined children socom rebel, ond tell asd tales of hard usage st school to friends at home, which speedily bring olam.orig mothers to the echool, vowing ven- goance cn the teachers.The surest punishment they can think of is to send the children to another school, where they quishly pass through the same experience, and are removed to another.Often t children alternate in attendance, between three or four schools for several yoarn, and are never examined in one.\u2014 The Christian, THs Rav, Sauvxi.D t'anaUsON, whe bse lately been elected missionary bishop of the African Mission of the Protentant 1 Chureh fa a colored mas The Spirit of Mie sions for June rays nf Lim: He was born in Obarlestown, .And emigrated with hie parents to Liberia when six yesrsoid.He waa gÂusated in 1be misnion schools onder Bl-bop Payne, waa appointed a teacher 1a 180%, which tom he occupied until he was ordsined 8 by the bishop named on December 28th, 18405, When was ssalgned as molstant 26 the Rev.J, W.U.Duerr, tu 8t.Mark's He vas ordatned pri TT law would not be diffioult, if she could only CHILDREN'S CORNER.THE CLEFF IN THE ROCK.Nellis and Norman had beca having auch à happy time at the seaside, aud now their long stay had vearly como to an end.It wea a real summer afternoon, bright and hot.Pape and mamms were taking a nap indoors ;

not that there was anything very remarkable to be seem, but ali was new in the little bay, and he expected to fiad ull sorts of wonderful treasures.A few boats were drawn up on the shingly beuch, snd numbers of great white gulls wheeled about overbead with s harsh, abrill cry.After wandering on for some distance farther the ohudren felt tired, and climbed into une of the boste, where they carried some strange-looking seaweed they had found, and were no busy turring it over and looking for shells thet they did not remember anything about the time till Norman said, \u201cO Nellie, I am so hungry.I think it must be near tea-time.\u201d And Nellie began to wonder whether mamma would think that she had taken care of her little brother as she ought, and if it was quite right to come so far alone.\u201cYes, Norman, come,\u201d she said.\u201cWe'll make baste home.it's not far, and we'll soon get back.\u2019 But her little face grow rather arave,and she Degen to wish they were both safe st home, for the little girl knew it must be long pest \u201cten.Lime,\u201d and then, too, thers were some ugly black clouds coming up very fast before the wind.Oh! why had they been s0 foolish &s to wander so far! Nellie was eure abe had been » very naughty little gizl.Bat she did not tell Norman how frighteved she felt.only took bis band and set off beside him ns fast ns ahe could towards home, throwing awsy all the seawecd that they might run the faster.Most of the rocks over which the children had come were now covered with walter, 20 the little feet were forced to keep almost entirely ou the shiugle, which was very tiring.They hed nearly reached *\u201cthe bit of cliff\u201d sgain, when Norman cried, *\u2018O Nellie, there's paps come for us!\" Brother and sister burri forward, | tor they could see a figure in the distance com.\\ ing towards them, though Nellie did not #.! 0 sure that it was \u2018\u2018papa,\u201d and as they can\u2019 pearer they found it wes only a flsbermn .Nellin, however, waa very glad to sce any co.| for Norman was getting so tired that he © not keep up with her swilter stepe, and | fiabermen at Sandy Bosch bad often bu kind tothem both that she was sure, il hos waa one, he would Norman bome.Bu, alas! the men turned vp an opeting in tb» -1.fi | which the children ooald not see, and ise}.peared.Nellie\u2019s heart sank.But there w+ worse trouble in store.On coming to tho ju* ting rock round which they must pass to rca: h home, they found that the waves were close up; to it, lapping its slimy sides and carling i: be - tle eddies iuto the tiny hollows, rising ever: mivute higher and higher, and looking car« snd gloomy, for clouds were spreading f-t over the sky lately so blue aud bright.W could they dof The little strip of shing! .:., which they stood wonid soon be covered, ru!\u2019 though it was wider in some places, the was: « would wash over it all in time, for Nellie kr.r a that it was not high water till midnight.Ltd.night!

Ther.was no sgn of « foot-path, snd Nellie sbud.dered sa ahs noticed that the cliff was hong with seaweed far above her head, and she know the cold waves must wash up there very soon.Then a few drops of rain began to fail, snd it grew very dark.Had she too naughty to be forgiven ?Had not God heard her prays: for belp, she wondered, and wers they really going to be drowned out in the cold, dark night alone?Bat just as she wae going back very slowly and sadly to her little brother, Nellis canght sight of a great hole iu the rock just above her hesd, = sort a rect, where by some mighty convulsion, perhaps loug ages ago, the solid rock had been torn pe Teasing = olett quite wide enough for both obildrea to creep into.Could she remch it?Yee; that Nellie get Norman up, and there was no fringe of seaweed about the sides of the cave for water only entered it at very high tides or during heavy storms.\u201c\u2018Normas !
