The laugh is now on.the side of the Government. During the last few days an understanding has been come to, and an agreement signed, which has definitely seamed the open sore. It has been declared that the Suez Canal shall be neutral water. Alike in time of peace or war it shall be open to all vessels of* whatever nationality. Certain limita tions, such as _ that of landing troops, are reserved. France undertakes to carry out her pledge of evacuating the New Hebrides, in return for which we concede to her the Sovereignity over a few insignificant islands in the Pacific. hy these arangements every- body is satisfied. France is enthusiasti over her diplomatic success, and is ready to throw her arms around England in a sister ly embrace. The Tories are exulting in the wise statesmanship which the Prime Minister has displayed, while the Paily News wnstintingly congratulates hin upon what it describes as an adoption of the policy of Lord Granville. Australia no longer fears thar the unhealthy islands o! the New Hebrides will be turned inte a French penal settlement, whence the con- escape and overrun her fait and as for the islands of the bread ‘fruit tree-—they are not likely to ex- perience much unpleasantness by having France instead of England to protect them. x *

Che political kaleidoscope in France has and there is a possi lity of very serious internal com- plications coming about. At the meeting of the Chamber on Tuesday for the autumn session a Bonapartist deputy, M. d’Ornano, moved for a coujmission to enquire into the illeged sale of decorations. On an applica- tion for urgency the Government resisted it, saying that a criminal prosecution was now pending. This was not considered enough by the Chamber, and the urgency motion was carried by 379 votes to 155. Chis may of course, have little effect on the Rouvier Aministration, but it may portend the fall of the Government. And as the name of M. Wilson, M. Grevy’s son in-law, is mixed up in the frauds, the President may have to resign also, although he is the soul of honor and probity.

Few of the people who handle Bank of England notes ever think of the amount of labor and ingenuity that is expended on their production. According to official re- port, these notes are made from pure white linen cuttings, never from rags that have been worn. They have been manufactured for nearly two hundred years by the same family, the Portals, Protestant refugees. So carefully is the paper prepared, that even the number of dips into the pulp made by each workman is registered on a dial by machinery, and the sheets are care- fully counted and booked to each person through hands they pass. The printing is done by a most curious process in Mr, Cve’s department within the bank building. There is an elaborate arrange- ment for securing that no note shall be exactly like any other in existence. Con- sequently there never was a duplicate of a Bank of England note, except by forgery. According to the City Press, the stock of paid notes of seven years 1s about 94,000,- 000 in number, and they fill 18,000 boxes, which, if placed side by side, would reach three miles. The notes ‘placed ina pile would be eight miles high; or, if joined end to end, would form aribbon 15,000 miles long; their superficial extent is more than that of Hyde Park ; their original value was over &15,000,000,000, and their weight over one hundred and twelve tons,

I see by late American papers that many people who have written to the Pope, com- plain of having received no answers. As the Pope’s correspondence is necessarily very large, there are secretaries who go through it, classify it, and destroy or subinit the missive to His Holiness, accord- as they thiak proper. Mgr. Boceali, the private chamberlain,has charge of this diffi- cult duty. It sometimes happens that a letter to -whick the writer attaches the greatest importance is in this way thrown into the waste basket. J am informed on good authority that if anyone is desjrous of a letter to the Pope surely reaching its des-_ tination, it may be accomplished by observ- ing the following directions. Inclose the letter in three envelopes, all three sealed, and each one bearing this inscription :—-
To His Holiness Pope Leo XIII, Prefect of the Congregation of the Holy Office At the Vatican,
(Personal) Rome.
The prelate in charge opens the first envelope, then the second ; but the third he is obliged, under a heavy penalty, not to open, but to hand to the Holy Father him- self.

I quote from my note book the significa- tion of the names of some of the countries in the world:— ' '
Europe signifies a country of white com- plexion.
Asia signifies between, froni the fact that the geographers placed it between Europe and Africa.
Africa signifies 3 land of corn or ears.
Siberia signifies thirsty or dry.
Spain, a country of rabbits or conies. It was once so infested with these animals that it sued Augustus for an army tuo destroy them.
Italy, a country: of pitch, from its yielding great quantities of black pitch. Calabria for the same reason.
Gaul, modern France, signifies yellow hair- ed, as yellow hair’ characterizes its inhabit- ants. :
The English of Valedonia is a high hill.
Hibernia is utm#st or last habitation.
Britain, the country of tin ; great quantities being found on it and adjacent Island.
Corsica, a woody place.
Sardinia signifies the footsteps of men.
Syracuse, bad flavor, so called from the bad marsh on which it stood.
Rhodes, serpents or dragons which it pro- duced in abundance.
Sicily, the county of grapes.
Scylla, the whirlpool of destruction.
Etna signifies a‘furnace,or dark or smoky.

Mr. Frank Spence, the hen. Secretary |
of the Anti-Narcotic , League, , has made | -.
some iiquiries as to: the smokers and‘noa- | smokers on thy bunch of Bishops. Among
[the latter are the Bishops of Lichfield, Llandaff, Lincoln, Chester, St. Asaph, Sal isbury, Hereford, Chichester, Worcester,
Winchester. The Wells has not used tobacco in any form for between fifty and sixty years. The Bishop of Worcester never smokes pipe or cigar, and never did. The Bishop of St. Albans
think that tke case of the opponents of §to- bacco wottld be much strengthened by the fact of the abstinence of fifty or sixty Bishops. The Bishop of Durham is a non- smoker, but does not wish the statement to convey any sympathy with or feeling of necessity of a league against tobacco, The sishop of Gloucester and Bristol was a moderate smoker until 1860. ‘* When I found benetit from it cease I gave it up,” he says. The Bishop of Oxford is not and never has been a smoker. He believes that in time, in purse, in health, and in. cleanli- ness he has been the gainer. If he has lost, as some of his friends tell him, a measure of personal enjoyment, he can only say that the loss has not been felt. The Bishop of Liverpool isa non smoker, and entire!) s of the object of the Anti- Narcotu League.

\lthougheIl am an anti-smoker, and should likeeto see the useless and expensive habit of smoking discontinued by dogrees, until our people at length abandoned it to he savages from whom they learned ity still if | had happened to ° be a Bishop, I should have declined to auswer any such impertinent questions as that of the hon. secretary of the Anti-Nareotic League. ‘dhe replies of the. Bishops of St. Albans and Durham are most sensible. The Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, who has tried tobacco and given it up, has a right to express his opinion, But the Bishop of Oxiord, who and never has been a smoker,” has no right to dogmatize at all. His answer is, itseems to me, a solemn warning to Bishops and others not to talk about what they are ignorant of lest they fall into arrant nonsense.

Y. M. C. A. The Devotional Committee have complet- ed arrangements for the observance of the “Week of Prayer,” beginning Sunday Nov. 13th. The subjects ,;tor the different meetings will be announced in the circulars issued by the Association, and in the daily papers during the week. Meetings will be held as follows:—
On Sunday morning in the Young Men’s Parlor at 9.30 o'clock, Consecration Service, to which workers are particularlyinvited. A Mass Meeting will! be held at 4 o’clock Sun- day afternoon. During the week there will be meetings every evening except Wed- nesday in the Hall from 8 to 9 o’clock, ad- dressed by the city pastors, to which all are cordially invited.
We cannot emphasize too strongly the importance of this special effort to reach the young men of this community, and we trust that our members will feel it a privi- lege, as well as a duty to make special! sac- rifices, that they may be able to be present at these meetings, and to assist as they are able.
We trust that every young man in the stores, banks, offices, shops and factories, will be visited by some member of the As- ciation and urged to attend the meetings.

Will Mr. Rowe please inform the public if he at the same time ex- amined the engineer in charge of said boiler and if he considers him a competent man for the position.
