John Macdonald produced two letters written by Mr Blake to an ex-mounted policeman who desired to come to Ottawa te give certain information in his possession.Mr Blake's letters were courteous, but in a measure guarded.He could not ask for railway passes, as his correspondent wished, nor could he assist him in obtaining a government survey contract.As for his information, he would be glad to receive it and if not in Toronto shortly, would Of course as the latter desired it his name should not be dis- It was of course not only Mr Blake's right but his duty to obtain all the information

evidences of frateraal feeling were shown by thereprescntativesof that portion of the Queen's dominions toward their Ameri- cau brothren.The Colonial Secretary, in , response to a toast, advocated a universal federation of the English-speaking peoples, and declared that such & union would form the basis of peace throughout tho world.The Colonial Treasurer added that if Queen Victoria should visit President Cleveland at Washington, and the latter should return the visit, the first step toward a union would be gained.The Americans present were very enthusiastic.Dublin, J aly 6.\u2014The summer assizes in Ireland opened to-day with a remarkable decrease in the number of cases to be tried.The only trial in which the death penalty is likely to be moted out is the case of William Shechan and his brother-in-law David Brown, which comes up at the Cork Assizes on July 23rd.The prisoners are charged with the triple murder of Sheeban\u2019s mother, sister, and brother at Castletown Roche, October 27th, 1877.The crime is alleged to have been committed because Sheehan's mother refused to give her consent to the marriage of her son William to a daughter of a farmer named Brown until Mr Shechau had received a marriage portion of £300.The farmer was only willing to pay £170.Mrs Sheeban, her daughter, and her son Thomas disappesred a few days afterwards, and all their bodies were found in a well near Mrs Sheehan's farm in the latter part of August, 1884.Sheehan was arrested at Auckiand in December, 1884, and on his arrival at Cork in May last his brother-in-law was also taken into custody.The evidence against the prisoners is very strong.The latest theory concerning Bright's disease and other affections of the kidneys is that they are due to tbe immoderate use of ice wator and other chilled beverages.Thirty or forty years ago, a physician asserts, when people slacked their thirst with fresh water from well or pump, kidney disease was vitually unknown, Now, however, the general use of ice in every house.bold and saloon and the multiplication of soda fountains cause thousands of persons to abruptly shock their heated internal organs with freezing draughts, and kidney troubles are pro- valent.It was officially announced by the Antwerp Exhibition Commission recently that the jury of the inspection of cereals considers it is bound before proceeding further to

of farmers, who ave read of hay caps, have learned thet the will save their cost every year, if properly u Experience has taught this lesson.few short and pitby rules for making the best of hay might just now be ropeated, as follows: Get the mowers into good condition, without a day's unavoidable delay ; wateh the crass closely, snd cut it before the seed is formed\u2014 just when the Cut it as soon as the dew is off, but not while it is damp.Before the evening dew falls upon it, rake it up and put it in cocks holding about three hundred pounds each.If rain threatems, cover the cocks safely with bay caps.Take in no hay until all bas been cut and cocked, The bay will cure in the best manner in the cock, and it may stay a woek without harm, if covered with the caps.When ready to draw it to the barn, uncover the cocks and throw them over and open them.Have one persou doing this, while the others are loading snd drawing in.Do not stack it, but place it under a tight roof, if it is only a barrack, open at the iden.Uncover only what can be drawn in in one day.As soon as the field in clear, give it à top-dressing of compost or some artificial fertilizer; but do not turn the pows upott it\u2014it would pey better to buy some hay from a neighbor, This last rule applies to the next year's crop, but it is rightly placed here, because next year would be too late to use it.It is of the greatest importance, and should by no means be omitted.Finally, gather dus hay caps together ; dry them, if necessary; 18y them evenly one upon another; roll them up; bind them in the roll, and store them in a dry place where no mice can gnaw holes in them.Jt would be an excellent thing to stee them in a solution of alum and sugar of 1 to preserve and make then waterproof.The great point to be secured in stacking hay is, to keep the center the highest.If this is done, water can not penctrate into the staok, but, will find its way to the outside under tho most unfavorable circumstances.If on the other hand, the center is hollow, the water must drain into the center, and soruin the stack.An excellent way to build a stack is to set à tall sapling firmly in the ground, with « foundation of rails around it; then begin at the oen- ter, and place the hay about the pole, gradual] spreading, until the edgo of the base is reached.Continue building up the stack, the highest in the center around the pale, the builder standing in tho center no to tread the hay firmly there.As the stack settles, the outaide sinks more that tho center, and helps to make the stack better.The top of the stack is finished by fastening a covering of bay to the pole, with hay bands wound firmly around it.A stack so made will not leak, and even clover hey may bo safely stacked in this manner, becaues the water must make its way to the outside by the force of gravity, and escape there by dropping to the ground clear of the stack.Insect parasites upon live stock have now the heyday of their lives.Tar

carry sand up to a big tank, just «s grain elevators carry wheat in a flouring mill.The sand thus raised is used to work the arastras, which are merely, wheels with large paddles, on which a stream of sand being let out from the bin above revolve just as they would under the weight of & stream of water, and the arastras move steadily on at their work.When there is much wind, sand is stored up for use when calin prevails, so the arastras are never idle.After a sufficient quantity of sand has been accumulated there is no more trouble on that score, the same sand being used over and over.By this device not only a regular but a continuous motion is obtained, and the great objection to the windmill overcome.Beets, carrots, paranips, salsify, and other roots should be cultivated between the rows

the government introduced resolutions to increase the duty on whiskey from 81 per gallon to $1.30; on imported spirits, except brandy.from $1.32} to 81.75 per gallon, and on brandy from $1.45 to $2 pergalion.On tobacco the duties are raised fully one-third.Oo sugar the duty heretofore has been one cent will be made to deepen the Salmon river.THE debate on Mr Blake's motion, charging | the rebellion on the government's neglect, delay and mismanagement, came to a close on Wednesday night, when the motion was defeated by 105 to 48.Holton and Scriver voted for Mr Blake's motion; Bergeron against.The debate was siogularly heavy and uninteresting, owing to the interminable length of the speeches and the goverument setting up on their side such tenth-rate men as Girouard, Mclntosh, and Royal.Dr Orton very properly called attention to the growing abuse of long speeches and so-called speeches read from wanuscript, and it would be well if a rule could be devised to fix some limit, as is done in congress, when the business of the house is pressing.; The defence of the conservative speakers was merely an amplification of Sir John's speech.a pound.An ad valorem duty of 35 per cent.is added, which, on low grade sugars, will be equal to another cent per pound.Mr Bowell said the government did not expect any revenue from the increaso in the duty on sugar, which is simply additional protection to such poor nen as the Redpaths.The result to store-keepers near the frontier will Le, that their customers will buy their sugar as well as their cotton and coal oil across the lines.The increased duties on tobacco end spirits will entail no hardship, as the less of them consumed the better.It is urged that the advance in the duty in foreign spirits will encourage adulteration, but we have never seen it proved that gin made in Montreal is a whit more injurious to the deluded people who pour.it down their throats, under the idea that it is good for the constitution, than that made in Holland, or that Canadian brandy is more pernicious than French.* By the changes Mackenzie while in office pursued tho same | to million dollars additional revenue is ex- policy towards the Half-breeds and Indians as has been done since the present administration succeeded him, therefore the liberals have no business to complain of it.Then as to the rising itself Sir John's astonishing assertion\u2014 I charge distinctly upon the Grit party in the House and out of it, not only all the rebellion, but all the consequences.Was endeavored to be substantiated by argu\u2019 ments that the inmates of a lunatic asylum would laugh at.There were only two speakers who paid much attention to the merits of the case.Mr Laurier argued that the ill-treatment of the half-breeds was a palliation, at least, of their conduct, and Mr Royal endorsed him.Reviewing tbe debate, we are more of the opinion than ever, that Mr Blake made a mistake when he included the enumeration of the pretended grievances of the half-breeds in his speech.Sir David McPherson and Sir John are right in insisting that they had no grievances; that the men who complained of having no land had been given lots on the Red River, which they bad sold, spent the money, and moved to the Saskatchewan in the hope of repeating the same game; that for men who will not cultivate an acre of potatoes to make it a grievance that the government would not give them each 240 acres was absurd.The pity is that Sir John Macdonald did not bave the courage of his conviction ; that when the rebellion broke out he should have sent a commission to try and buy the half-breeds off by offering them scrip.Altho Mr Blake carefully avoided committing himself by endorse ing the pretension of the half-breeds that they had been illused, yet his able statement of their case was seized by Bir Johu as designed to to encourage them, and that cry has been and will be repeated by his followers.Had Mr Blake confined himself to the simple charge, that the government had ample warning of trouble brewing in the Northwest, and that through their eriminal neglectof these warnings, in taking no precautionary action, the rebellion burst out, his charge would have been unanswerable.From every side warnings were sent to Ottawa bof impending danger and the cabinet had the clearest and fullest evidence that rebellion was probable.They disregarded those warnings, and when the rising took place it found the government utterly unprepared, and the rebels had full swing for 6 weeks, and until the volunteers hastily called out could rench the seat of trouble.During those weeks hundreds of settlers were kent in a state of izing alarm, scores of them were driven to fly from their homes for shelter in Prince Al bert or Battieford, and a number were batcher- ed in cold blood, while others were led into painful captivity.There was loss of life and property, and over a section of hundreds of miles in length no crops were put in.All this would never have been had the government done its duty, and therefore to its neglect is chargeable all the disastrous consequences of the rebellion.Is Sir John and his colleagues te escape cossure 7 Isit going to be said, that the nien wbose negiect entailed such dissatrous consequences, are bo remain in charge of the coumtry ?In Great Britain & government which allowed itself

The era of surpluses has come to an untimely end.THE proposal to change the chef lieu of Cha- teaugay has justly excited a good deal of interest, and as the county council has deferred action indefinitely, it is likely to be a burning local question for some time, possibly years, to come.That the county building should be placed as near to the centre of the county as practicable, is self-apparent.What is looked to is the convenience of those who bave business to transact in it, and it is most unreasonable to ask the farmers who may have to pay a visit to the registry office or the office of the county secretary, to travel unnecessarily 12 miles for the benefit of any particular village or any small coterie of individuals.Glancing at the map of Chateaugay it will be seen at once that Ste Martine is to one side of it, and that the village which is not only nearest the centre but has most roads leading to it, is Howick.There being no drawbacks whatever to that village, it being thrifty and growing, with every prospect of being, in 8 few years, larger than Ste Martine, if the question was looked at solely from the point of what is best for the public interest, there would not be a moment's hesitation in ordering that the new building be placed on the banks of the English river.Ste Martine has only one railway; Howick has two, and altho at present the Canada Atlantic affords alight conveniences to local travel, yet it will work to it, that roads will be opened across country to the atations that will be built along its track, and that to many in St Clothilde, Chrysostom, and St Antoine the railway will become a speedy and cheap means of access to Howick.Ste Martine has not and never can offer a like advantage.Unhappily the public interest in the minds of many who have a voice in the matter is warped by private interest.The proposal to abandon the present county building was stimulated by the desire that the county should waste its money in buying the Renaud mansion\u2014a building on which thousands might be spent on alterations without succeeding in making it suitable.When the ratepayers saw through the little dodge and insisted not only that, if the old building was abandoned, a new ope should be built, but built where most couvenient for them, than there was a change of tone, and men who declared the old building so decayed as to be impossible to repair, voted that i be repaired, The ratepayers will bave to be on the watch and those mayors who are not to be cajoled into sacrificing the interests of the county for the benefit of a few persons in Ste Martine attend each meeting of the council, to prevent the passage of an objectionable resolution by a eatch vote.As the agitation has been begun, we do not see why it should not be carried on, and steps taken to secure the passage of a bill by the legislature to establish Howick as the chef lieu.Inthe Gleaner of the 2ith June attention the legal aathority for

the west end of Huntingdon, for his store was the chief place for trading in a wide circle.His father was a woolen manufacturer in Dundee, Scotland, and was in very good circumstances.On his deathbed he Dethought him of his long-delayed duty of waking a will.In Scotland the law was, that where there was real estate the will was of no effyct unless the maker lived 6 weeks after signing it.As there was no prospect of his surviving that length of time, he called his eldest son to his bedside, told him of the disposition he wished to make of his property, and received a promise that his wishes would be fuithfully carried out.Instead of doing so, the young man took advantage of his legal position, and became heir to the whole, so that neither Alexander nor his sister gotanything.Thus cut adrift, he accepted the ofter of his sister, who had married Colonel Davidson, to accompany her to Canada.Colonel Davidson had gone to Canada in 1817 and after travelling about some time, had settled at Dundee, where he opened store, and sent for his family to join him.Being afraid of the sea, Mrs Davidson hesitated to venture until her brother, Alexander, agreed to accompany her, as already stated.They sailed iu the summer of 1820 on board the Psyche, and among their fellow passengers was William Lyon Mackenzie.The passage from Lachine to Salmon river was made on a Durham boat, and one night they slept in a two-storied taveru (no holels in those days) on McKie's point, where the crickets made such a noise that the newcomers thought they were birds, and were surprised to see no sign of them in the morning, The mouth of Salmon river was then known as Buchan bay, and it was not until the rescrve was thrown open for settlement that Lord Dalhousie sanctioned the name of Dundee, as suggested by Col Davidson.Ogilvie remained with his brother-in-law 2 years, assisting him as clerk in his store.Desiring to start for himself, he looked out for a location, \u2018and decided on the LaGuerre, at the junction of the east and west branches, the inducement being the easy communication with Montreal by water.In the winter of 1821 he began to prepare, and engaged an American, named Shaw, who lived on the ridge, to put up a house, store, ashery, and wharf, which Shaw, who was a very handy man, did without having a bee, his sole help being his son and a yoke of oxen.When Ogilvie with his family took possession they had no neighbor save a French Canadian, and it was some time before any Old Countrymen came, the first being Brodie (?) and Harvey.There were no roads.one was a blazed track to Huntingdon, and au- other to Dundee\u2014the latter little used, as in summer the traffic went by water.Shaw to cut the track out to connect with a lumber-road that came out at Trout River, and by this means secured the custom of the settlers along its banks and in Elgin.Their trade was vofitable, for although they had no money they ad ashes, and Ogilvie took in such a quantity that he shipped 250 batrels yearly of potash to Montreal, besides pearling 30 barrels.He also lumbered a good deal, and as settlers became numerous offered the material for a church, provided they would pay him in produce for the labor of building.The frame was put up, but the settlers not doing anything, the project hung fire, until one day the wind blew the affair down.From various causes, losing money by lending, competition, and mismanagement, the world eventually went against him, and in 1847 he retired to a farm at Newfoundout, where he lived until his death.In his prime he was a powerfui man, and retained much of his bodily vigor almost to the close, being fresh-colored and plump, while his large head was thickly covered with gray hair.He got his second sight, and could read without glasces, which was a great comfort to him, as he was fond of reading.He retained all his mental faculties, advancing years rendering the mind sluggish rather than senile.Like most people who attain a great age, he possessed an even, contented disposition.He had been 67 years married, and, singular to relate, he was a widower when he married and his wife (who survives him) was a widow.He used to relate some amusing stories of his experience in this county, of which the following is a specimen: Shortly after coming to Dundee he went down to Bateaux creek in a canoe to fish, but had not been there long when some huge monster (judging by the noise) began to roar near by.Being like most newcomers, fully impressed with the dangerous character of the real denizens of the woods and still more so by the imaginary ones they had heard of in the Old Country, he pulled up his line and paddled as quickly as possible home.A few evenings afterwards he heard the same kind of roaring near the house, but no one seemed to be the least afraid or pay any attention to it, so he asked what it was and was told it was a bull-frog, and thus found out what had frightened him a few days before.Once he started ®o follow a footpath from LaGuerre to Huntingdon, and getting on the wrong branch of the , at what was called Cedar Creek, he le à circuit and came out on a clearing near LaGuerre, aad was surprised to find one of his neighbors working so near, as he supposed, to Huntingdon, and still more to find that instead of being near Huntingdon he was near home, FRANKLIN CENTRE.During the severs

attracted the attention of the farmers in that section, who were alarmed at the presence of such motley visitors.On tho 7th instant, Archd.McDonald, son of Chas.McDonald, seeing several of them near, thought he would watch them, and on entering an old barn for that purpose, was attacked by two stout fellows, who were part of the gang of thieves.MeDonald being a strong man and realizing his critical situation, fought desperately.ile struggling, à third member of the g came in and threatened his life with a loaded pistol, and fired several shota to frighten him.McDonald, however, was too much for his assailants, girikiog one of them over the battery into tie straw, and finally escaped through a hole in the barn, having slight injuries on the head and ribs, from strokes and kicks.His antagonists seemed leased that he got awn, for he gave them a Para handling.The thieves cleared out, and it now being dark, were not pursued, Nothing has been seen of them since.Wm.Greer had a riding saddle stolen from his premises, which was found in a field near by.e farmers had no horses stolen, though several of them found their horses on the road early in the morning, excited and frightened as if they had been chased.The whole neighborhood has beon alarmed by these fellows, &nd in future, should the like occur they will not be permitted to ramble about as they please.On Thursday, during

nothing serious, and when the family iarose in the morning she felt about as usual, \u2018but with some oppression in her chest which | she thought would wear away, However when she returned to her room a little later she was | unconscious and soon breathed her last.Her age was about sixty-six.| HUNTINGDON.A malignant disease among swine was introduced into this village by bringing in a few : well-bred animals from the city.The disease (ran its course in a day or so, and in every case ; death ensued.The most marked symptom was | the swelling of the ears, which became swollen land purple, as if full of blood.As there have | been no new cases for over a week, it is hoped the ldisease has gone.The incident should be a warning not to buy outside the district for the present.There is a suspected case of glanders 'near Ormstown, the animal being one bought i from a stranger.That terrible disease exists [in the city, and as the symptoms are not | marked during the early stages, purchasers may :be easily deceived.The following remarks of [the American Agriculturist ought to be pre- \u2018served : However desirable it may be to detect tho presence of glanders in ita oarly stages, this is not \u2018an easy matter, especially where the slight discharge continues, as is sometimes the case, for an indefinite time.The appearance of the lining membrano of the nasal passages, affords the surest means of determining this point.In the noncontagious, simple nasal catarrh, the membrane is reddened, whereas in glanders, it generally assumes a dull, leaden hue.Tho discharge of glanders is most frequently sticky, even though clear, and when unmixed with purulent matter.The flow is also persistent and continues withont intermission, and without odor.It bas been considered, as a general rule, that only one nostril is affected in this disease, but this can not bo depended upon as assign.The presence of enlarged glande below the jaw, especially if hard and attached to the bone, is suspicions.During the continuance of thia thin, and apparently insignificant discharge, the animal may continuo in apparent good health, and able to work.The increase of the discharge, which becomes opaque and purulent, tho presence of the ulcerations upon tho lining membrane of the nostrils, the failure of the appetite, loss of flesh and spirits, and other constitutional symptoms, sooner or later determine the character of this frightful malady, for which death is the only sure rolief.Building is in active progress, and there are now no fewer than 10 excellent dwelling-houses under

was a large gathering, 5 lodges beiug present, and everything went off well, A report of the proceedings has failed to reach us.HUNTINGDON, The members of 44 met in their lodge-room on Sunday morning; from the roof of the building floated its colors and the union jack.Shortly after ten they issued in procession, a few with collars, the majority with badges, and walked to the Methodist church.They numbered about 70, and presented a most respect- ableappearance, The church was densely filled.After devotional exercises, the Rev W.H, Spar- ling took his text from the 3rd verse of St Jude.The following is a free outline of the discourse : Protestantism has ever been the symbol of civil and religious liberty.The impression with some, that Protestantism is modern, is erroneous.The name and the organization are modern, but the principles Protestants uphold and seek to extend are as old as the Bible.The Reformation simply revived the old doctrines which had been overlaid by the traditions of meu.Glaucing at the early history of Protestantism, he referred to the frequent assaults that had been made upon it, and how, when the danger was most imminent, God had always raised a defender of the faith to overwhelm its enemies.The assault in which those before him were most interested was that of James and Louis XIV, when the people of the mother country invited the young Stadtholder of Holland to deliver them, who obtained a bloodless victory in England and 2 years afterwards defeated the combined armies of James and Louis at tho Boyne.The object of Orange- men was to honor the memory of William and uphold the principles for which he fought, To them, therefore, the faith which the text exhorted us to contend for ought to be precious.What is this faith?The revised version renders the passage \u201cI was constrained to write unto you, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints,\u201d showing that no addition to it or taking away was to be tolerated.The warning not to add to the faith was needed even in those early days, for we read there were ungodly men who turned the truth into Jascivi- ousness, and these men have not been wanting in successors.The most perfectly organized system of perverting the truth, and teaching for the Gospel the traditions of men, has been the church of Rome.That church was once pure, during the centuries of the early persecution she earnestly contended for the faith, but when she was recognized by the state and supplanted paganism she became corrupt, and in time the priest came to stand between the sinner and his saviour and for the bread of life the people were given a stone.The perversion of the truth was not the only result of her degradation and corruption.For ten centuries the lives of her clergy were a scandal.Mr Sparling here read a passage by Dr Dorchester, descriptive of the church in the 15th century, and stated that before the Reformation began indulgences to commit any sin were publicly sold for $50.The faith which was alone a safeguard from such corruptions it was the duty not alone of Orangemen but of all Protestants to uphold.Again, Why should we contend for this faith ?Because it is the charter of civil and religious liberty.This the preacher illustrated from history.The church of Rome claimed theright to a censorship over science and literature and to dictate the policy of government to civil rulers as well as to control religious opinion, Some pretend that the church of Rome has laid aside those extreme pretensions, that they belong solely to the past, but we have the evidence of daily events to show us that she still exercises them where she can get the civil power to enforce them.Again, we should contend for the faith once delivered to the saints because it is the patron of an enlightened civil government and of national prosperity.As illustrating this, he read the passage from Macaulay's essay on Ranke\u2019s history, wherein is contrasted Denmark with Portugal, Edinburgh with Florence, and England with Spain.We should not be ashamed of the principles we profess, because they have a glorious record and much of the best blood of the Christian church been shed in their defence.In conclusion, mark how we are called upon in our day to contend for the faith.Not by the clash of arms or garments rolled in blood, but by the consecration of all our powers and faculties.There are occasions when it becomes the highest duty to resort to arms, but the sword is the last resource.The faith is threatened by scepticism and by Romanism, but her greatest danger is the spirit of worldliness, so prevalent in our times.You are called upon to put it away and, living in the spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ, to go forth to do-battle, not with carnal but spiritual weapons, for the faith once delivered to the saints.\u2018There was one little word in the text not to be overlooked: \u201cExhort you that ys should earnestly contend for the faith.\u201d You Orangemen, above all others, should contend for this faith and, in so doing, you engage in a contest that will end in your ultimate triumph.During the collection the choir sang \u201cGod Bless our Native Land,\u201d closing with a verse of the National Anthem, when the congregation stood and joined.On Monday morning the brethren began at an early hour, to assemble at their lodge-room, and at 9 o'clock formed in procession, headed by the cornet band, and with colors floating.he procession was not so long as usual, a large number preferring to drive later on in the day to the picnic ground.As the procession moved down the river, it received acoessions at eve other farm-gate, and a halt was made at Dewitt- ville, where it was expected the Gore and Rock- burn lodges would join.Not appearing, the march was resumed and Ormstown roached in due course, the inhabitants turning out to see such an unusual sight for Chateangay.Crossing the bridge, the brethren from the east were seen to be waiting at the corners, having come down the Chateaugay on the south bank, and forming a goodly cavalcade.The fife and drum band of the Rockburn lodge struck up and the cornet band responded, when the united processions moved towards Winter's mill, where, in Cottingham's grove, dinner had been provided by Wm.Morrison, and to which such ample justice was done and tho patronage was so large that those who came late fared poorly.Shortly after 2 o'clock a meeting was organised, when the largeness of the attendance apper- NS ent.There were over one thousand tion were residents in and around Ormstown, many being present at such a gathering for the people in occasion to me.I did not the grove, and of these a considerable propor- speech here to-day and usatly have not repared myself.The ground, however, has n well gone over already.The Orangemen expect to make 8 VALLEYFIRLD: ITS OOMMERCIAL POSITION AND ITS NERDS.To the Editor of the Canadien Gisanor.YEans since, when most people best know first time.On the platform was County Master are holding, to-day, one of the most sueccasfal the place as Hungry Bay, we then looked for- James Ferns, District Master James MeCracken, W.M.No 44, James Henderson W.M.No 871, Thomas Knowles W.M.No 1472, and other leading members of the order.Mr Sellar was asked to conduct the meeting and letters of the large crowd of ladies, without whose sym- are lookin apology for their absence were read from the Rev Moasrs Haslam, Sparling, and Watson.J.Scriver, Faq, expressed his regret at being unable to be present owing to parliament being still in session.Colonel McEACHERN, C.M.G,, in appropriate terms welcomed the brethren and their friends to Ormstown, and only wished they had been present the evening before at the Methodist chureh, to have heard the Rev Mr Ryan's sermon, which had the true ring.He had no doubt they would, when required, be true to their principles.Rev D.W.Morison dwelt on the value of enthusiasm in a rightful cause and said the case of the Orangemen was hopeful, as they had a name and a good pedigree, Their name was that of a king distinguished above the age in which he lived by his virtues and deeds, and their pedigree showed they were the successors and heirs of the brave men who, determined to die rather than surrender, had won for the empire civil and religious liberty.In maintaining the national independence, the Orangemen did not understand the word independence as meaning the separation of Canada from the empire, but binding it more closely and preserving it from the dominion of a foreign yoke.No humble bowing to a power wielded against the people for them, and they could be relied on to use the franchise to prevent pope or archbishop interfering with our civil government.That there was need for a firm -attitnde in this province on the part of the supporters of civil and religious rights was only too self-apparent.He trusted the Orangemen would be true to the motto of the king whose name they cherished; if so they would be respected und hand down to succeeding generations unimpaired the liberties that were dear to them.The Chairman touched on a few points suggested by Mr Morison's address, and then introduced the Rev Wx.RYAN, who announced himself to be a member of the Orange order, and commented, in very frank terms, on the inconsistency of many Orangemen, particularly in Ontario, in uniting politically withthe Bleus whom he showed to be the enemies of the principles of the association and the persecutors where they dared, of those who professed them.The scandal of their order had been the number of unprincipled men who had joined it from the selfish motive of making it & stepping-stone to political positions they could not, by their own merits, have attained.William III.had introduced responsible government.The press today was free to advocate the public good.In its work, the danger of bribery bad to be guarded against.Protestants have to fear the influence of the Bleus\u2014a party that is trying to control all things in this country.Who caused the rebellion?The Blous.No protestants, of any denomination you choose to name, Indians included, he would venture to say, had done anything to cause that unfortunate affair.In the Northwest, among missionaries the Methodists are most numerous, and frequently have they offered their services in defence of the country.Coming out more plainly, the duty of Protestants is to avoid playing into the enemy's hands as political tools.He had once lived in Ontario, in the vicinity of Lake Huron, and there, some twenty years ago, he had joined the Orange order.Whilst laboring there he had ample opportunity to learn how the orange brethren behave in Ontatio.There is too much political wire-pulling among them.It is shameful to see what party feuds are sometimes stirred up.In room 8, Parliament buildings, Ottawa, measures that are detrimental to the welfare of the country, are too often concocted.Geo.ELLIOTT\u2014Orsngemen help greatly in such work.Mr RvaN\u2014Yes, and Presbyterians at that too.(Laughter) If the enemy are to-day controling affairs to our disadvantage, we have ourselves to blame.I am not, however, going to throw blame on any one denomination.The fact is the inactivity of protestants geuerally is to blame.Too frequently, for instance, does it happen in Ontario that men get into power by a mere profession of orange principles, These men, once their selfish ends are gained, feel inditferent about fulfilling promises made to the electors.Orangemen in Ontario are often found, working shoulder to shoulder in a common cause with ultramontanes of the meanest type.The Roman Catholics know what they themselvesare about.They are well organized, headed as they are, by archbishops, bishops, priests and other officials of minornote, Pro- tostants have no ready means whereby their voice may be quickly heard and their influence be brought to bear at once on any important question, should it be required.The lack of political organization among usis to be deplored.(Prolonged cheers), SQUIRE CAMERON said: Were it not that I have ample proof that my faults will be fairly dealt with, should feel rather diffident in addressing you without preparation, as I am, especia y in the presence of men that are col- lege-bred.Ministers and lawyers get notice to prepare for such mestingsas these, but I, your umble servant, get no further notice than that which has just been given.Many blessings secured by the battle of the Boyne, are enjoyed here and wherever Protestantism is established.It is fitting, then, that on such an occasion as this, we should unite and glory in the possession of British liberty and British order.(Ap- plausc).Shame on that protestant whose heart docs not leap through joy at tho approach of the ever glorious 12th, (Cheers) Is there harm in forming unions to relieve our

long, till you know the secret too.(Laughter).Mr Camtnon.We have need of recreation.It does me a world of to listen to such Jearned and eloquent delivered addresses, to see my {frionds and hear the

especially patby gatherings of this kind are not a success.(Hear, bear) A few years ago we ple witnessed one of the most shameful events of our time\u2014the death of Hackett.I lived in Huntingdon at that time and was pleased to see the orangemen and protestants of that place uniting with brethren from elsewhere to bury floated the orange banner.Some people think that orangemen are fiends, Some fear assassination at their hands.I have attended soveral oran anything done nor heard anything said that would insulta Roman Catholic.I trust that the orangemen will never regret having como to Ormstown to hold this celebration, (Applause).Mr ELLIOTT, who had been interrupting the speakers more or less, was given an opportunity to give his views, and made tion to the Methodists recciving any credit for taking part in the revolution of 1688, as they were not then in existence, and gave his views as to Orangemen, King William, and the battle of the Boyne.The chairman briefly replied and the meeting closed in the best of feeling, with the customary cheers.A pleasant and enjoyable day was spent, the only drawback being the heat.The procession returned by the route it went and 44 reached its quarters by half past 7.While the speaking was in progress, in an adjoining field a game of lacrosse was being played between the Ormstown and the Herdman's Corners clubs, in the presence of a large assemblage.The match was well played and resulted in the Herdman club winning.THE DAY ELSEWHERE.Montreal, 13th July.\u2014Yesterday forenoon the Orangemen attended Knox church, where the Rev Mr Fleck preached a sermon which made but slight reference to their presence.A small crowd collected in the street opposite the church both previous to and after the service, but everything passed off quietly, the members of the order having no procession and no regalia being worn.In the evening Bishop Usher of the Reformed Episcopal church preached a vigorous sermon, in the course of which he remarked: \u201cTo day the 12th marks an era in the history of Protestantism that is worthy of the name.Would to God that the day of degeneracy, unreal Protestantism were a thing of the past, and Protestant churchmen, who claim to be more loyal to their faith, were not found practically sustaining Popery and priesteraft in their Protestant (1) church, as is witnessed to in this city and throughout the Dominion.Many of those who foster error loudly preach concerning the glorious Protestantism of the hero of the day, but he knew what it was to bea Christian first and a\u2019 Protestant afterward.It is recorded that when William Prince of Orange, champion of a righteous cause, received a letter from one of his generals asking him if he had effected a treaty with France or England, securing their aid, William replied, \u201cBefore I undertook the cause of the oppressed Christians in these provinces I made a close alliance with the King of kings, and I doubt not he will give us the victory.\u201d Filled with the Spirit the Christian admirers of the illustrious prince became the backbone of empires, the sons of freedom, apostles of and defenders of true liberty.Iam glad to note that those who chiefly commemorate the day gre seeking to divorce their Protestantism from partyism, With purity and prudence, the order that holds dear the memory of William IIL, Prince of Orange, may regain lost power and become again the peaceful preserver of Protestant pre-eminence under the old flag.\u201d Toronto, July 11.\u2014The Orangemen of the city of Toronto celebrated the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne to-day.The lodges assembled in the Queen's Park and marched withbanners and bands totheexhibition grounds, where the afternoon was spent in various games and sports.The procession was a very imposing one, taking about half an hour to pass ail given point.Winnipeg, Man, July 12\u2014The Orangemen of this district celebrated the Boyne anniversary yesterday by a monster excursion and picnic to Selkirk.Derry, July 12.\u2014The Orange societies to-day celebrated the anniversary of the battle of the Boyne.Some rioting occurred during which a man was shot in the leg.Another, while trying to destroy an Orange arch, fell from the roof of a house and was.killed.One arrest was made.There were slight riots elsewhere, but the day was generally quiet.Belfast, July 13.\u2014The Orange celebration at Carrick hill was the occasion of considerable rioting, during which several policemen were injured and 20 arrests made.Waterford, Ireland, July 13,\u2014The anniversary of the battle of the Boyne yesterday caused a large increase in the number of drunken men on the streets.Among them were many of the soldiers belonging to the Welsh Regiment doing rrison duty here.A number of citizens got into a drunken row with tho soldiers last night during which a soldier attacked a citizen, Peter Grant, and plunged a bayonet through his heart.Grant fell dead on the spot.The tragedy infuriated the people and they fell with such ferocity upon the troops that the latter rotreated to the barracks.The mob followed them up, but being threatened with powder and Wall if they attempted to force an entrance to the barracks, they contented themselves with smashing the windows of the barracks with stones.The rage of the populace was so great this morning that it was deemed best to transfer the Welsh regiment to some other place.This was done immediately, and as the soldiers marched from tho barracks to the railway station, surrounded by policemen, a mob followed, hooting and stoning the soldiers.The one who stabbed Grant is in jail.London, July 19.-While the Orangemen at Ryehouseport were celebrating the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne yesterday they were attacked by & mob of Catholics and a desperate fight occurred.Fence palings and table legs and chairs were freely u and many heads broken.The police were powerless to suppress the riot, which was ultimately quelied by the priests.known his objec- ward to a time when steamboats and railroads would offer conveniences that would make the location an attractive one either for business or residence, and this, I regret to say, is what we for yet.True, we always bad the GTR.at Cotes, 7 miles off, but the St Lawrence was between us, and we havea new road, which was long since begun, and which often made us hopefully think that its completion would some day to us the long looked for life-giving power to our manufacturing industries which they lacked.! From the birth of our existence till now, our at and unchanging element of power has n the same.c had at first and have now millions of cubic feet of water, forced to a i demonstrations and have never seen height of 14 feet behind an immovable bulwark of stone, and backed and maintained by the St Lawrence and Lake St Francis.Long since we boasted of our bogs, swamps, fuel s, aud .berry fields, but they are gone ; they have given \u2018place to whentfields, and are thought of no more.But the river and its power is here yet, and few, if any town on this continent, can boast of its equal.The new railroad from Ottawa to Lake Champlain is now completed or nearly so.Its nearest stopping p is Clark's Island, two \u2018miles from here, a place which can always, in reasonably fair weather, be reached by water, \u2018and a foot passenger may reach in 3 miles by land, walking on the track.But this is no improvement on our past position, and does not suit our growing wants.The road passes the town sufficiently close to accommodate it; we see the train, we hear it roll along, but it will not stop for our traffic, of which I will speak later.Why this enterprise should not meet our wants I cannotsay.Our town officials, over 2 months since, waited on the manager of the R.R.Co.to find out what they would be willing to give proper accommodation for, but, so far, no answer as been received.If no other help can be got, we must help ourselves, and that soon.I said we bad the G.T.R.across the river ; we reach it at Coteau in about 7} miles.We could reach it at River Rouge in 4} miles, but Spring and Fall we cannot do our business on mud roads, and believe me, when we cart our 400 to 500 tons of freight per month over them, besides a considerable passenger business, they are mud indeed.The Ferry Company, long ago organized for a winter ferry, with their little steamer C.Anderson\u2014whose name and history should be recorded with that of the town, for it has done much to develop it\u2014has been run more for a convenience than for profit, owing to the remarkably low rates charged.She has schooled our people into an expeditious business method, no longer requiring an absence of 3 days todo a day's work in Montreal.this company have largely been spent doing what the municipalities should have done\u2014 providing wharves and approaches to them.\u2018irst the ferry company built wharves for the St Dominique ferry, then at the town bere and toen at Clark's Island, for winter use.These cost some 32500, The first built is abandoned, that on Clark's Island may be at any time.I might here say that few fair-minded people who have crossed the St Lawrence at night during | a mid-winter storm, with snow in the air an floating ice on the water, will soon forget the energy and skill of its officers, as they carefully watched the driving storm, now catching the glimmering lights of the opposite shore and now losing them again, and carefully evading each sheet of ice as it passes only to make room for another, while the traveller comfortably warmed himself in the little cabin and was safely brought over.But such hard usage told on the little craft, as can now be seen, for her heavy oak timbers are now being renewed in the dry dock at a heavy cost.What is now in store for her I cannot tell.Will she, like many a faithful servant, who has spent his best days for the public, be thrown aside # This will not likely be the case.Her owners are patting her in prime order, and, no doubt, there is yet a useful career before her.But this is an episode.My object in writing this letter, is to make some suggestion towards removing the existing hindrances to the pros- erity of Valleyfield.I propose, first, that the intentions of the Canada Atlantic railway company be ascertained.If they will not meet our views, in affording the facilities our manufacturing interest requires, let us know that at once, in order that we may do the next best, which is to get good gravel roads made to the river on each side, so that teams can move at any time.I am confident that, for ail weathers, River Rouge, on the G.T.R, would be the proper point.The ferry would then be run below the rapids, and not above, which would make a 2 hours\u2019 run from Valleyfield to Montreal.The roads would entail some cost on the municipalities, but it would give them what they should bave at all times, good and permanent roads.I think the accommodation which we would get this way, tho not all we would like, would meet our wants, for we would have access to all trains, runuing east or west, on our greatest railroad.In enother letter I will give you an account of the growth of the place, its industries and somewhat of their management.As you have had letters from fair men and funny men, I beg to subscribe myself, Fat Man.G@F At a meeting of the electors of Hem- mingford on Monday, July 6th, Thomas Orr was chosen school commissioner in room of William Reay.The retiring commissioners for Hinchinbrook were James Rennie and Peter Tully.In place of the latter, who declined to be renominated, James Cameron was chosen, and a poll was opened to decide between Matthew

\"writing on the 11th, says: It will be remembered | that in the course of Sir John Macdonald's speech in reply to Mr Blake's critioism of Government's Northwest policy a fow days ago he prod read, to the intense delight of bis supporters, two lettors written by Mr Blake to one Brown, who re nied himself as an aggrieved Northwest settler, and ns being in a position to give impor- taut information In regard to the Uovern- ment administration of affairs in that country.Yesterday, Mr Blake, to make the record com- lote, read the letters he had received from ©, and to whioh hic replies were dated and the reading of them quite turned the tablos on | the Ministerial side.\u2018Î'hore was two lotters from Brown and one from a confidential friend of Mr | Blake's in Toronto, to whom Brown was roferred.The correspondence shows that Brown first approached Mr Blake with a request for an inter- | view, stating that he was a hard-working, ruined farmer from Prinos Albert district, and could give plenty of pointers, as be termed it, in regard to the villanies practised by Government officiale in the Northwest.Mr Blake replied, suggesting that a friend wbom be would select should call on Brown and obtain any information be might choose to disclose, and promising to comply with bis requost not to divalge bis name as it might injure his chances for obtaining a position in the Government surveying staff for which be was ap- Jiyiog.Several meetings took place between rown and Mr Blake's friend and the latter wrote a letter in reference to the interviews, which Mr Blake read in the House.The letter atated that Brown wus 8 bard-looking, tough citizen, that he wantod $1,200 and stated openly that his information was for sale to the highest bidder, that be bad told the writer Sir John had personally romised him a position as Government detective at $1,200 & year and showed bim a letter from Mr Small, M.P\u2019,, the consorvative whip, asking Brown for copies of tho letters he had sent to Mr Blake, When Mr Blake had finished reading the corre- wpondonco he added : \u201c1 will only say to the hon member for Toronto, Mr Small, that the shortest way is the best way, and if he wanted to sec Mr Brown's letters 1 would bave showed them to him if he had been «0 good as to ask me.\u201d The Opposition members cheered with delight at this ex- ure of the connection they more than auspect- ed the Conservative whip had had with the affair all along, and tho Government side wero equally crestfalion.Ottawa, July 10.\u2014On Wednesday an Order in Council was passed approving

Beauty Blunt, who was steering ; \u2018but one tasto of my fist is a dose of physic they never care Lo swaller twice.Lord eave ye, captain, it don't do | to be frightened.| didn\u2019t mean Lo kiil the boy ; but since he's gone, let itstand for a good job, say I.It's like hanging up a scarecrow\u2014it's a caution to 'em\u2014it\u2019s teaching of \u2018em my motto, death or obedience\u2014do what I toil ye, or I'll\u2019 break your head! That's the talk for them to understand, and I reckon they know my meaning by ;this time.\u2018L'hey'roas brisk as fleas this | blessed day, and quiet as alligators asleep on mud.\u2019 1 did not catch the skipper's answer to this speech, but there was certainly no reproach, no reprimand in the tone of his voice.\u2018The blood is gn your own beads,\u2019 thought I, turning away.We had now got tho South-east Trades broad on our port bow, aud, with the yards hard against tho lee rigging and the leeches on the royals shivering like flags in a broezo of wind, we .breasted the crested rollers on the South At lantic.A fow days after tho death of the apprentice, an accident befell me\u2014an oeenrrence often chronicled at sea, but rarely related by the man who experiences it, for a very obvious reason, The captain was walking to windward, a band nicknamed Savings was at tho wheel, and Miss Franklin turned the pages of a book on the lee side of the companion.The watch ware occupied aloft and about the decks.Though the brig walked well, with the wind shaving her, she was not looking into it this day as considered she should, The mainsail was choke-full, 3 white hemisphere, curving a graceful semicircle from the tack to the yard-arm ; but the royals rattled overhead as if the brig were incessantly ou the int of going about and thinking better of it.ore tallying the men on tho braces, I sprang to the bulwarks, holding on to the main-royal backstay, and ran my eye up the leaning pillar of sail.Aun accident at sea happens in an instant.A man stetches from the rigging, and swings himself by eome running gear; tho end is not fast, and, with the rope in his hand, bo falls smash upon the deck.Or he lays out along a yard ; a sudden jerk scrapes the foot-rope from under his feet, and he whizzes through the air and is gone forover.What happened to mo was effected s0 inatan- taneously that J bave no notion how it came about : one moment I was posed upon the bai.wark, looking aloft ; the next I was under water, with an uproar of thunder in my ears.1 rose to the surface, and, with tho first breath of fresh air, I took in the horrora of my situation.The waves, which looked moderate enough from the deck ofthe brig, were so many hurling mountain around me.ifted on the summit of one, 1 could ses the brig hove-up, her jib-sheets flowing and Bowlines let go, and a group of men near the les quarter.boat.Could 1 keep myself afloat till the boat mess.ured the interval that separated me from the brig?I wasa fair swimmer, yet the sense of the profound depthsover whieh I hung, tho roaring of tbe foaming waters, over my head, now around me, my own littloncas in the wide world of moving green and froth, waseo dismaying that my will failed me, my energies oxpired ; nothing but the mechanical instinct of life kept my seme swaying and my bead above water.Swang aud.denly to the height of a tall ses, I spied, not fifty yards sway, a circle of yellow\u2014a life-buoy, which some one must have flung overboard a few seconds after I had fallen.After ive minutes of agonising labos, I caught ihe buoy as it came rushing down upon the top of a 88 In a second I had slipped my srms through it, aud rode safe, breset-high out of water.boat spprosched, rising and falling to .Some careful manoeuvring was now but, hall.dead as I was, had still to exult over the oki with which handled ber.te the som, and let her drive down upon mie, hefping hor now sad oath she was siong-side ; tho lot un fall inte ous hollow.As we roes to- I was by four pairs of bande sad 1 , sobding, retebing, and streaming, into tbe where I [sy as weak ss a kitten anti!

do you fear?\u2019 \u2018Ifthe men turn, they will say, \u2018Wo may as well suffer for much as little.\u2019 \u2018Ilow are they to be won over ?\u2019 \u20181 scarcely know how to answer you.Undoubtedly, Captain Franklin is actiog injudiciously in passing over the mato\u2019's murder of the boy.\u2019 That is what I told him I\u2019 she exclaimed, in a breathiess voice.\u2018I said, \u2018Tho mate has acted with shocking cruelty ; the men expect that you will punish him ;\u2019 and his answer wae, \u20181 do not care for the mon.Mr Sloe is the proper man for them, and more competent than [ um to keep them in order.\u2019 \u2018You will understand, Miss Franklin, that L feel some delicacy in discussing your brother\u2019s conduct\u2014' \u2018Don\u2019t you think you could get the men to patiently endure Mr Sloe\u2019s bad treatment until they arrived in Sydney ?' If any good can be dows by putting in a word now and then, you may trust me to do so,\u2019 suid I \u2018I wonder that Captain Franklin does not consider the perilous position be may place you in by allowing his mate to exasperate the crew.\u2019 He came on deck as I spoke these words.Standing at the companion, and peering at us, he cried out, \u2018Who ia that 7\u2019 \u2018Are there other ladies on board, that you canoot toll who 1 am 1\u2019 she answered, pettishly.\u2018Come into the cabin 7\u2019 he exclsimed angrily.She wished mo good-night, and walked leisurely to the companion.I heard ber say, with an indignant sob in her voiee, \u2018You address mo as if | were one of the crew.\u2019 Directly she had gone below he marched up to me.\u2018Haven't you been to aca Jong enough to know that you bave no right to be gossiping when you ara on duty \u2018Miss Franklin was congratulating me on my cacape to-day,\u2019 \u2018What has that to do with it ?I leavo the brig ia your hands, and expect you will attend to your work.What else did Miss Franklin say ?\u2018Why, since you ask me, sir, she agrees with me that the safoty of the brig is imperiiled by Mr Sloe\u2019s brutality.\u2018What's that to do with you or her 1' he thun- dored.\u2018Did I bring yon out of the fok\u2019sle to discusa my atfaira 7?By\u2014\u2014 1! if thero\u2019a a mutiny, I shall know who's at the bottom of it.I don't like your tricks, sfr! Be careful I\" he shouted.\u2018The voyage isn't done yet.All you have to do is to mind your busines, and obey orders, d'ye hear ?If you don\u2019t, you will iad men clever rascal | I'll hage you! I'll make you sing out I\u2019 He came rearing and swelling himaselt so close to me that involuntarily I threw myself into a defensive ure.However, Will this abuse was mero stilt-worie; be towcred it over me in the hope of making me afraid of him.Bat I had a strong motive to remain aft, and this kept me silent ; seeing which, and perhaps imagining that ho prodaced the im ion be meant to make, he crossed the deck and lighted a cigar.There he remained in solitary state pacing the deck regularly upto haif-past eleven o'clock.The days passed, and the brig drew to the southward, new temperature marking ber progress, new stars climbing from the horizon across ber bows.In the lar trade gales, one da was like asother, the brig dragging her channels through the water, all sait on her, the upper lesohes quivering, the lee-rigging sisck, and to wind taut as bars of iron.The sloping deck, the hoares ruabing of the water op fhe les side, the les port-holes glimmering green in the water that buried them, Jong grumble of the timbors as the strided the reguler seas, wore familiar matters, lille the grinding of the screw in 8 steamship.No change of weather varied tho scene; overhead were always the white clouds rollin away to the North-west, over a deep bine ground: and the ses, an internal space of green covered with rochieg wuves breaking to windyard in liéæ of snow far ae the horizon.Meanwhile, all was quiet with the men.Une second dog-wiitch 1 came on deck 10 smoke a pipe fn the waist.It was not possible to get à match to burn in tbe breecs that rushed slanting from the mainesil, 00 I into the galley.The cook was on the ; à bit of fire lived in the grate, and, lighting my pipe at it, 1 wie goiog sway, when I heard the = ows of some men sheltering themaesives from the wind on the lee side of the galley.The voice then speaking was Deason's; whet he was saying sreested me.I was on dock when you feil over-! { *.Bixty thousand I tell you.Did you ever 800 sixty thousand pounds\u2019 worth of gold, \u2018Seo it?No.\u2019 * ¢1 opened one of the bags to havo a look, There was only a thousand in it, bat that's a sum to rmoke as wise man squint liko a lunatic when its ail before him in naked sovereigns.Think of | dipping your hand in, far as your wrist, and feel ing the bard yellow-boys slippery and clean Jookw real gold.lt hasn't such a hundsome stamp, but 1 like tbe color, Jim.\u2019 | \u2018Just you fill my pockets wi\u2019 \"em.1 reckon I'll | not sposk agin the color.\u2018But the bar-gold, mate! Did you ever seo n \u2018You ax'd me that afore! I said no.Where the blazes should I see bar-gold ?dye think I wur born io à mine ?\u2018When we carried them away from the beuch 1 ; put them into Tommy's arms, eight of them at a timo\u2014neither of us could hold more.When | put one more on to try him, bis arms gavo, and {down thoy dropped ; Tommy was a middling strong man, too.| \u2018I'd like to koep as many asl could carry away; I lay thore'd be u trifle missin\u2019,\u2019 Lere said & third voice, tbe surliness of which botokened it as Liverpool Sam's, \u2018It's ull possible, said Deacon, | Atraid that one of them might step round for a light, aud catch me listening, 1 left the gal- 'ley, rather surprised, aftor the fuss Deacon had made over his secret when telling it to me, that _he should now be taking the crew into his con- | tideuce.i My thoughts went farther.Ilo had proposed to mo to svize the brig.> vpose bo made the same proposal to the men?[ad treatment bad mado tinder of their souls; and here was a live: _wpark to eat deep, a reason for rising, a brilliant \u2018end to bo attained, and the means sweetencd by the revenge it involved.But it was all a speculation, these thoughts of | mere possibilities, [ knocked the ashes out of my pipe and regained the cabin, on the whole moro amused than alarmed by the conversation [ had overheard.i .CHAPTER XI.On tho 20th of August our longitude was 242 W., and our latitude 20° 17' S.At noon on this day tho brig's course was alter- cd to 2.8.6, While the crow were squaring the yards the men who tallied on tho main-braces were six- nalled by Deacon from the wheel: be bold his finger up.The gesture was instantaneous, but my oyes wero on him by chance at the moment.I went aft, under pretence of examining the com- pass-card.\u2018What did that signal mean ?I inquired, in a low voice.\u2018What signal 7\u2019 \u2018You put your tinger up to the mon.\u2019 Did tr \u2018What did it mean ?\u2018Would you like to know ?1 glanced askant at his face, and detected a lurking grin.\u201cThis is oot tha course to Teapy,\u2019 said I.\u2018Yes it is, he answered, \u2018if wo hold on long enough.Bat what has that gat to do with my | finger ?\u2019 ; \u201cI'he movement excited my curiosity,\u2019 I roplied carclessly.\u2018lL was fecling the wind,\u2019 said be; \u2018didn\u2019t you see me put my finger into my mouth firat ?\u2018No.\u2019 \u2018Then beforo you judge of things, sco all that belongs to them, or you'll go astray.\u2019 \u2018There was no positive rudeness in the way be said this, though the least alteration of tono would have made the speech insolent, \u2018L hope,\u201d I exclaimed, earnestly, \u201cthat you'll think twice before you act, There's no wealth in this world that may not cost moro to gat than it's worth.\u2019 \u2018You have no cause to {eur any want of reflection in me,\u2019 he anawored, ns 1 moved away, noticing that ho strongly accontuated the word \u2018you.\u2019 As the atternoon advanced the wind grew faint.Studding-sail booms wcre rigged out, and the sails set, and under a cloud of canvas the brig swam quietly forward, rolling grandly over the large swell that came gleaming up from the south- \u2018ard.: A little before four o'clock a vessel hove in sight on the starboard bow.I examined her throagh the glass, and found her a large screw-steamer, apparently a man-of-war, her top-gallant masts housed, no canvas showing her hull black, and the column of froth at her cat-water shivering in the sunshine like a jewol on an Indian's forehead.She drew close rapidly; spots of red on her forecaatle spoke her a troop-ship\u2014if from India, then giving the Cape a wide berth.We hoisted the ensign, ready to dip her as she od\u2014for this is the way ships bow to each other, and the merchantman is bound to pull off his hat (in this fashion) to every British man-of- war he meets on the high seas\u2014and up, in re- spouse to our courtesy, ran the milky folds of the glorious St George's Cross, symbol dear to Englishmen, and one that gives a leaping pulse to his blood, aa the strains of \u2018Ral Britannia\u2019 do, or the hearty tuno of \u2018Cheer, Boys, Cheer.\u201d A fellow in the main-top danced a hornpipe to our honor as we passed, and the sight of our red ensign sot the noldiors flourishing hats and handkerchiefs ; and, just as sbo bad drawn on our quarter, hor band struck up 8 waltz\u2014a fine, clashing melody camo across tho water to us, thinning and fining down as her hull grew narrow, until silenco fell on the sea again and she was a black spot on the horizon, For the firat time that day Miss Franklin came on deck, and lingered, gaging wiat{ally at the ship, until miles of water bad n put betwoen us ; she then went below again.Our cyes met, and she amiled, but bad nothing to say.I concluded that her brother had forbidden her to epoak to me; I farther belioved that he bad prohibited her from coming on deck when he was absent from it.Certainly her actions talliod with thoso conjectures, bat then her pride would not permit her to own that her brother was only a little less despotic to her than he was to me.So even the small credit [ had given him of having a sol) heart for his aister I now withdrow, When [ came on deck at tweive o'olock4Bat night & dead oflm had fgiien.There was no moon, and yet so splendid was the glory of the stars that the light of them, fa the double beauty they shone with from the heavens on high, and in the sweeping, silken surface of the ses, filled the air with mild lustre, no that the farthest reaches of the ocean were discernible, and the loftiest rigging of the brig plain as the interlacing boughs of a tres in moonlight.The Southern Cross bang in all the serene silver beauty of its orba over the horizon, an emblem of the Ohrls- tian faith planted by God\u2019s own hand over the secret lands of the Pacific.I was alone with the man at tbe wheel who was aick-named Savi 2 A \u2018And much you'd get by the voyage.Why, you don't believe what Sniggers aya do you?\u2018Yes! do, then, he answered empbatically, \u2018evory word of it.Why, I see the noosepaper in whieb it's all wrote down.Sniggers read it to all hands.\u2018Do the bands believe it?\u2019 \u2018Rather! it ain't so rum a thing as that it couldn\u2019t ba\u2019 happened.Look what things is found in sharks.1 don't take no account myself o'battons und boots and paonikine, and tho likes o\u2019- that; but I seod wilh my own eyes a bag o° 'Meri- can dollars drawed out of a shark's iuside, once \u2014rtel coin\u2014and every man got one for hisself, and there wus more left for the passengers to keep as curios,\u2019 \u2018Are the mon going to help Deacon to recover the money ?\u20181 know nothen about that,\u201d he replied, with a quick change of manner; \u2018ye\u2019d better usk \u2018em.\u2019 1 dropped the subject and left him, not choosing to press nore questions, lest ho should go and toll the men I had beon trying to pump him.Mauch us I hated the mate, 1 thought I would give him a hint when ho eame on deck.Accordingly, on his showing himself at eight bolls, ! said to him, \u2018l'hore\u2019s mischiof browing forward, I think, and it will behoove you to keup a sharp lookout.\u2019 *Whal's doing there \u201d ho asked, receiving my statoment in a fons offensive tnanner than I had expected.\u2018All bands have boen awake, nud talking to- gothor throughout the watch.\u2019 \u2018And whut moro ?' \u201cThat's all, sir.\u201d \u2018Are you afraid of that?\u201d ho shouted.\u201cWhat the deuce odds if thoy talk together all through tho night 1 tho whelps ure not obliged to turn in! there's votbing in tho articles to compel them to sleop is thero?Let \u2018em growl among themselves and welcome; but if they bring their choek uit, then it's this and this for em!\u2019 and he struck the palm of his left hand heavily with his fist.I flung myself into my bed with a flattering alarm upon me that deserves my contempt.My imagination made a fvol of me.The droning that bad been going on in the forecastlo all through my walch was basis enough for fancy to pile its agony ou.\u2018Then there wus that mysterious signal made by Deacon to the men.Then there was that story of Deacon to be remembered ; an undermining, influencing agency, potent in its eloquence of gould, working among the men liko a decisive voice to give uniformity to their moods, that first condition of successiul rebellion.All theso things were in my mind, and kept me thinking bard and listening hard.Something was at band, | boliove.No man\u2019s instincts roar their heads and fork their tongues, like disturbed serpents, in one direction in the gloom of conjecture, unless some euemy be thero Lo attract them, But sleep was beavier than apprehension, and [was presently lost it in, with no part of my dress removed.Ilow long I cannot say but what less noise than the crash of the brig's bottom upon a rock, or a thunder bolt smit- ting hor, could bavo sent me flying sheer ont of my slumber on to the deck.What was it?a pistol-shot 7 Joa moment came a loud cry and a groan close ut hand, immediately followed by a shrill scream.[ sprang out of my cabin, Pre morning light lay broad on the glass of the skylight.Some three or four men were eurg- ing and swaying half in halt out of the captain's cabin, and close tp my own cabin atood Miss Franklin, cowering and shivering and stooping \u2014looking like à corpse in the act of falling prone.I seized her by the arm, and not until she felt my hand did she remove hor fascinated eye from what was goiog forward in tho captain's cabin.\u2018Como with me!\u2019 [cried, and balf carrying haif dragging her, I conveyed her to my cabin.\u2018Siop bere until I come to you.Here is the koy of the door.lock yourself in.\u2019 \u201cThey bave killed my brother!\u2019 she shrieked.I closed the door upon her and ran to the men.They were coming out of the captain\u2018s cabin and boro the skipper\u2019s motionless body among them.Beauty bad bim by an arm, Jimmy bold his legs, and Old Sam clasped him round the waist; a tourth man pushed behind; and they were all as silent as execualioners.\u2018In God's name! [cried, \u2018What have you done, men ?what bloody work is this that your madnoss has brought you into ?\u2019 \u2018Qut of the voys!' exclaimed Beauty; \u2018wo'il talk to you prerontly.\u2019 And they proceeded to carry their burden up the companion.ladder.1 ran after them.The morning was further advanced thao I imagined ; the sun was high, bat tho sky cloudy, und light threats of air from the south-west were blurring the burnished surface of the sea.I stood at the companion and glanced swiftly around.The first object L saw, placed upon the skylight, was the mate, bound hand and foot, with blood upon his face.Ile wus anything bat dead, however, his oyes rolled restiessiy, and while my £aäo rested upon bim he strained bis powerful limbs in his bonds until tho strands of the rope creaked again.A body of mon, among whom was Deacon, were clearing away tho starboard quarter-boat, ready for lowering.Those who had hanled the captain on deck laid him down, on which Deacon looked round and jamped off the bulwarks.\u2018Deacon I' I cried, going up to him, \u2018for God's sake tell me what is tho meaning of all this?\u2019 \u201cI'he meaning ?he shouted\u2014why, the brig\u2019s ours! To h\u2014\u2014with the murderers of Young Joey.\u2019 I say that we ought to hang him!\u2019 sbrioked Little Welehy, darting out from the group near the quarter-boat at this exclamation from Deacon.The mate grew black in tho face, and his eyes started out, round and white, with bis superba- man atrogglen to liborate his arma, but not à word did ho utter.I clutched at Deacon, and brooght bim some steps away from the men who were congrogated round the skipper.\u2018What are you going to do with those men ?\u2018Send them adrift in that quarter-boat\u2019 1 was beginning to plead, but he stopped mo with aa oath.\u2018Look bere; don't youinterfero! Wo'ro all mad, mate, and 'li not know you for a friend if on stick up for those murderers.It's à short ay of getting rid of them, and it leaves our bands clear of their blood.\u2019 Ho turnod away and bawled to the men to bear a hand and got the quarter-boat ready.1 rotarned to my place at the companion, snd planted myself against it, looking on.I bad been tempted more than once to address them ; my wild and horrified feclings would havo given my tongue power, but something thoro was in their facon\u2014in tho hard, florce grins upon them, the forious eyes which they turned ever and anon upon Old Windward, and the pale, still form of tho eaptain; in their conrwe voices, mado frightful by the unspeakable blasphemy of their oaths, sometimes breaking into 8 hoarse shout or screoch of passion when Deacon (the arch-devil of this \u2018What's keeping the men awake in the foro.et do you know 1\u2019 1 sakced him.\u201cPIC lay ivs Sniggers spinning bis yarns.\u2019 \u2018 bout (he island aod the gold ?' y Why, yeu | hag he been aft with it?Ain'tit à bioomin\u2019 fancy ?If I war made o\u2019hlgbber, mas.| | oe, I'd tara to snd swim to that island.\u2019 conspiracy) sent a new tire into their blood by clever references to tboso actions of the two prostrate men that would most infuriate tho crew to bear\u2014which beid me silent.1 bad need to be cautious.Miss Franklin's vation might be dopendent on mine.In ose man, at all sygnts, there would de to sell i head, and the wonderful expression in his coun- | lenance\u2014a compound of his diabolic passions, bis lifo for her.But while all ap, to them on bobalf of their victims would certainly be vain, the own safety, would assuredly jeopardize m and it was with a Qooper shock horror than words can expross that I contemplated the feelings which would mo when, flung into the boat to share the fate of the captain and mate, [ should behold the brig gliding away into]the far reaches of the L'acific, bearing in her the girl [ loved, with men more dangerous to her than wild beasts as Lier sole companions, Every man belonging to the boat was aft, and groatly astounded was I to sco old Pendulum as busy as the rest of them at the boat; for he, of all the ship's compuny, should I have'putldown as tho very last man to thrust bis hand into a moss of this sort.They had stowed water in the bows, and some biscuit in the locker in the stern- sheots of the boat, and this evidently was all the provisions they meant to let the two mon bave.Whoo they bad got as far as this, and wore beginning to handle the falls and look at the victims, tho skipper boaved a sigh and opeued bis eyes, His consciousnoss came to him immediately, and like à tbunder-clap the perception of the tragical plight be was in rushed upon bis mind.He gave u loud cry and tried to sit up, bat could not put himeelf oroct, owing to his wrists being secured.\u2018List mo go, men! let me get my feet ! What are jou about to do with me?\" ho cried ; and he gave so wild a leap, by striking tho deck with bis \u2018 hoels, that Little Welchy rusbed liko a bloodhound upon him and kneit upon his chest.! \u2018Lie still I' ho cried, in that vehement, rasping voice of his which lent a most censistent note to; the horror of the sceno.\u2018I'll bo the death of ye! | My hand's ready for your throat! I'm martin\u2019: still, you dog you, from that cowbidin\u2019! Lie ne yo aro!\u2019 and he held his fist suspended over the, vaptain's face.! \u2018Now, then, the boat's roady !\u2019 shouted Deacon.\u2018In with them ; there's wind coming and we're | all aback ! Pnss along old blood-and-thunder \u2018 first I' i Talf à dozon wen instantly surrounded the, mate; be kicked and struggled like a raging! madman as ho was lifted from the skylight, cursing the men, foaming at the mouth, and black | in the face.They flung him into the boat as tho he were a suck of potatoes, and in a fow moments | the captain was along-side of him, and a band at each fall ready to lower away.In a moment the boat was in the water.| i Tbe cold, small breezo that had been darkening .the surface of tho water in the south while the! wen were at work on the quarter-boat was now | ron the brig and flattening the eaile.Amid stamp- | Ling of fuet and hoarse choruses, mingled with loud laughter and curses, intended to reach the years of the two hapless men, the yards were braced round and headway got on the vessel.| 1 went aft and looked at the boat.The mate | bat staring atonily at the brig, his face olotted with blood, his dress torn, his hair wild upon his + hardened and mixed by tho hopelessness that had penetrated his heart of iron.The captain leaned his cheek on his band, and looked down into the bottom of the boat.Bitterly as 1 disliked him, 1 could not view him, as he sat thore, drifting away in miserable helplessness, without impretating my own craven spirit for not prompting mo to make one struggle for his salvation.In vain I reasoned, in tho quick rush of thought that passed through me, that nothing I could have done would avail him; that I was one man opposed to many; that on my life might depend a life dearer to me than my own; that for ber sake I was justified in taking a neutral stand in this vile affair: I say, in vain; for the cowardico that could dictate so inhuman an act as the sending adrift of two human lives in a small boat, to live, perchance, for a brief hour in the wastes of the mighty deep, fired my biood as 1 watched the motionless miserable men, and I called myself the moanest of wretches for sufler- ing the commission of tho barbarous deed, without one word of protest, one syllable of exhortation, The crew carne aft in a body to watch the boat, on which I turned away, overcome with remorse aad the pitiful pathos of that helpless figure, with his cheok on his hand.Somehow I felt only for him ; the mate had no part of my sympathies.\u2018Chadburn, ! want to bave a talk with you.Step into the cabin.\u2019 : 1 turned and confronted Deacon.*You are tho promoter of this mutiny,\u2019 I said, fiercely.\u2018The blood of those poor wretches is on your bead I\u2019 and I pointed to the dwindling boat.He stared at me furiously, and exclaimed, in a low, muttering voice, \u2018Don\u2019t provoke me! Don\u2019t give mo any hum.t bugging sentiment!
