The Teachers’ Convention.

A LARGE number of our teachers have met, and fraternized, and parted. If they

) had done nothing more, the meeting would

have been worth while; for the mutu ; > ~ . a sympathy and encouragement which will | } +e \ result must have a marked influence —and

that in the right direction—on the work done in our sen ols.

fue anxiety which is everywhere felt as

to the safety of Mr. Stanley has been in-

tensitied by the news that Major Barttelot, wl to that of his carriers on July 19. papers a few days ago printed the last let ter which he wrote tothe Emin ‘ommittee. Itis a complete answer by uricipation to the suggestion which was made in a letter which appeared ia the Lendon Standard, that Major Barttelot was killed by his men because he was un- duly severe towards them. In the course of M jor Barctelot’s despatch we find that his care for them was an ever-present con- cern to him. We learn, however, a ciue which leaves lituletdoubt that he was mur- dered at the instigation of Tippoo Tib. Mejor Barttelot speaks of this man, an old slave trader, with much distrust. He had failed to supply the number of carriers he had promised ; and when we know that che party of men was under the command of one who was a creature of Tippoo, there is too much reason to fear that his was the hand that dealt the fatal blow. The one bright spot in the letter is that in which Major Barttelot expresses his conviction that Stanley is still alive. * %

Mr. Chamberlain lately addressed an im- portant gathering of L:beral Unionists at Bredford. He was frequently challenged by Gladstonians present, but on the whole obtiined a fair hearing. His speech was recapitulation of the principles which uncerlie the Unionists’ opposition te Mr. Giadstone’s union with the Parnel- liths. The part of the speech most fective is that in which he argues that Dillon has nota leg to stand upon. M. P. was imprisoned for in- tenants not to pay rent,

The Portland Transcript reports that the

early frosts cost the farmers of Maine over anntilhon of dollars. Yet on the whole the year has not been a bad one for the crops. and would have beena very pro- sperous one but for that drawback. The

ay crop is one of the best for years, and

the fal: pasturage has been excellent. The potaty crop is fair, and a large grain crop is

scoured. The great loss isin sweet and indian cornand the bean crop. Apples promised a two-thirds crop, but the

equinectial storm of last week did great damege, blowing to the ground thousands ot barrels, and so damaging them that they will be untit for winter keeping.

; be conducted with the gravity and decorum

which befit it. One of the most important witnesses in connection with the trial is Mr. Dillon. Sir Charles Russell, there- fore, made application that he should be from durance vile. The Court promised that this should be done, but the Lor! Lieutenant has rendered this unneces- sary by releasing him uuconditional.y on the scere of the state of his health. + #

The Emperor of Austria has strained the somewhat uncomfortabie relations between his Smpire and that of Russia, by the pub- lic rebuke which he recently administered to Bishop Strossmayer. The Bishop sent & inessage of congratulation to the authori- ties of the Russian churches, who were celebrating, at Kieff, the nine hundredth anniversary of the baptism of the Grand Duke Viadimir the Great, which made Christianity the religion of Russia and brought it within the number of civilized Christian States. This in itself was a startling step, for the Church of Rome holds that the Russian church is schismati- cal. Buta partial explanation of this act is to be found in the interest he has taken in the Slavs and the benefits he has con- ferred upon them. It must be remembered that Russia is the most powerful of the Slavonic nations, and claims to be the head of the Pan-Slavic movement, and desires to incorporate as integral parts of her Empire, or to subject to herself less directly, as vassal states, all other Slavouie territories. Now, the Austrian Empire contains a very large Slavonic element. Taking language as a test and giving up all Slavs by descent, who speak German or Magyar, there are about eighteen millions of Slavs against about ten millions of Germans and Magyars. The Bishop went much further in his mes- sage than an expression of sympathy. He assured the committee of his prayers for blessings ‘‘on the universal mission which God has deisgned Russia to ful§l in the world.” This was too much for Austria, and the Emperor evidently viewed it as a kind of Crotian sympathy in the event of war between Russia and Austria. Accord- ingly, when the Emperor arrived at Bellovar, in Crotia, accompanied by the Crown Prince and the Prince of Wales, he del berate'y ignored the Bishop at the levee until after the presentatons had been iwwle. Then addressing him ina loud

news to more thav the English people whu have been holding up umbrellas for months, an), as the Empire remarks, it suggests an enquiry whether men on this

voice from a distance, he publicly rebuked him for the ** culpable step” which he had taken against the Church and State. The

Berwreen eight and nine o'clock on Thursday evening last, as Mrs. Henry | Weeks and a lady friend were sitting 1 ‘the dining room of the former's residence, ‘corner of Pownal and Kent streets, they heard a slight noise in the hallway.

did not feel like accepting the apology, and | held on to the iutruder’s collar, By this | time her lady friend came to her assistance. | The stranger struggled with the two and suc- ceeded in breaking away from them, and getting out tothe verandah. Here the ladies captured him again, and there was another struggle. But finally he got one leg over the verandah rail, and wrench- ing himself free sped away in the darkness, leaving a dark brown straw hat as a sou- venir of his visit, and carrying vif Mrs. Weeks’ card case and cards. Mrs. Weeks did not recognize her unwelcome visitor, but describes him as a smovth-faced young man, dressed in dark clothes with dark shirt,anéthinks she would know him again if she saw him. As he did not exhange cards, and the hat captured by Mrs. Weeks, and her friend is similar to those worn by many young men, the police are unable to place him. The burgiar was exceediog y cheeky, walking in through the front door, and al- ong a brilliantly-iighted hall to the room from which he was removing the articles when detected.
