NOTES AND COMMENTS

ie Mailand Empire says: A new and novel explanation of the outbreak of smialipox in some parts of Canada has been propounded by a Toronto medical Mie! It is that some member of the suite of the Chinese functionary who came threvegh from Vancouver towards the later part of May on his way tothe Jn- bilee testivities in England, brought the contiagiou with him. In aupport of his

theory it is pointed out that the railway ticket agent who boarded the train at Winuipeg for the purpose of ascertaining whether the tickets of the Orientals were in proper shape, was ceized with smallpox a fortnight later,and members of his fam- ily were also taken with the same disease. The e-cape of the Chinaman is attributed to the fact that he had recently been vac- cinated.

—Tbe Edmonton, N. W.T. Builetin has received a sample of pure crystal salt from Fort Smith, on the Great Slave river, and takes occasion to quote the following wiaien:cat made in 1888 before the senate committee with regard to the riches of the north. Bishop Clut was the speaker whose words were quotted, he said : There is gold in the sand banks of the Peace river and in considerable quantities, but during the winter and in high water it ‘éannot be mined. The miners make from $18 to $20 a day. There is copper, and ove river bears the name of Copper Mine river. It is found there in great quantities I have seen little crosses made of it by the savages themselves when they were not able to have other metal. Sulphur abounds in several places. I have seen it on the Clear Water riverand above all on the Great Slave laxe. It is there in such large quantities that the odor is snnoying to those who pass by. Near Fort Swith there is a salt mine which is probably the most beautiful and the most abundant in the univeree. There is there a veritable mountain of salt. By digging a little in the earth, from six inches to a foot, rock salt can be found there. In addition to that there are salt springs where during the winter salt runs from these springs and forms little hills of salt. You have ouiy to shovel and you can gather a fine

salt, pure and clean. On the border of the Peace River stones are found which are euffic ently precious to make rings of them. ] have seen gypsum along the McKenzie and a little below Fort Norman. eee

The writer states that anecdete was told by Lord Salisbury. The blind archbishop of Canterbury gave the blessing with great fervor at St. Paul’s holding out his arms over Queen and people. Immediately one or two voices in the crowd said “Let us have God Save the Queen.” The choir at once began and all he multitude joined, andths poor Queen burst into tears. The Prince of Wales came round to the side of the carriage and shodk her hand several times, and then at a signal from,him all the Princes, English and foreign, advanced ia a semicircle, unsbeathed their swords, and pointed them downwards at the Queen, as if laying them down at her feet.”

(Continued on 6th page.) THE INSULT AT DESABLE.

Dear Sir,—I notice in the Watchman of the 29th ult, a communication signed “Blector,” in which Messrs. Warbrrton and Sinclair’s representatives at the DeSable poll, on the 2lstult., are accused of grossly insulting Catholic voters. The charge is a serious one, and from the na- ture of it I can scarcely believe that avy person or persons, in this enlightened age, would be so ignorant or so prejudiced as to be guilty of it. Ihave been watching, like many others in this section, for an explanation or denial of ‘“Elector’s” charges from the persons accused or the returning officer at DeSable poll, but since none has been forthcoming, the public must assume that the charges are true. Neither have Mr. Warburton nor Mr. Sinclair denied the charges or repudiated the conduct of their representatives, and by their silence they lay themselves open to the grave suspicion that they are in ac- cord with their agents and approve of their conduct. Ifthey are not in sympathy with them in this contemptible business, why do they not speak out like honorable men and denounce the cowardly insult offered to their Catholic friends and sup.

The Canadian Pacific Railway is making active preparations to handie the vast grain crop which they expect to secure from the Northwest this fall. Rolling stock is being rushed out of the shops as rapid!y as possible, and the grain elevators of the company ave being got ready. The new grain elevator at Owen Sound, which is being built, will be completed about October 1. The roof is now on. This elevator will have a capacity of 800, 000 bushels, and when tinished the Canadian Pacific Railway will have facilities at Owen Sound for the storage cf 1,090,000 bushels of grain. The new flour sheds at Owen Sound arealso about completed and they have a capacity of 40, €00 barrels. At the present time itis tax- ing the resourcesof the C. P. R. to handle the great traffic which is general aloug the line. The train crews are the largest that bave been on the road in five years. New cars are being turned out at the Perth shops daily,

A writer in The Nineteenth Century, Mr. Havelock Ellis, has cruelly demolished one of the consolations of little men which finds expression ip the proverb, “Good stuff is put up in small bundles.” He takes up the case of 341 notable persons and finds that 74 of these men are of medium height, 142 taller and 125 shorterthan the average. Among the big fellows are Burke, Burns, Carlyle, Goethe, Cromwell, Darwin, Field- ing, Lincoln, Raleigh, Scott, Peter the Great, Thackeray, Washington, Moliere, Vov Moltke, Julius Cesar, Huxtley, Ben Jonson, Ruskin, Tennyson aod Words~- worth; in fact, the list, not only in num- ber but in vuality; is an extremely formid- able one. The medium include Beacoas- field, Gladstone, Dickens, Wellington, Browning, Wesley, Bacon and Alexander the Great, amd the “ehorties” Kant, DeQuincy, Napoleon, Nelson, Gibbon, Macaulay, Milton, Drydea, Gray, Gold- smith, Spencer, Mozart, aud the three great seamen, “Drake, Blake and mighty Nelson,” On the whole, we are forced to the extremely commonplace conciusion that stature and genius have no relation whatever, which is what most ofus though before we read the list.

In a brief but thoughtful article io the current North American Review, Prof. Abram S. Isaacs, editor of The Jewish Messenger, considers the question, “Has Judaism a Future?” He reproaches Carlyl for his strictures upon that faith, and “so cultured and refined a critic as Goldwin Smith” for manifest irritation “when he touches upon the Jew.” He says:—‘“It is an egregious blunder to consider Jewish history synonymous with Bibical history. The Old Testament tells simply of Jewish beginnings. The greatest Jewish exodus eid notend with the departure of the Israelites from Egypt. That historic migration still continues. The Hebrew, as the name etymologically suggests, is the emigrant of history- from the time of Abraham to our own age the movsment continues. What is occurring in Russia, the landsiides ia recent decades from Ger- many, Poland, Roumania, this but a grim repetition of the long series of migrations that mark every century. It is Persia in one epoch, Egypt in another, Italy and Greece in their turn, then Arabia and Christian Spain, Central Europe, England France, all Jinks in an endless chain. Yet despite the constant shifting of condition and environment, there were mavy breath~ ing spells for the Jew when he couid prove hammer as well asanvil, and become more than a silent factor in the world’s advance- ment. Tne story of the Jew’s influence on Civilization, the record of his services in the arts and sciences, in literature, music, philosophy and statecraft, is still to be written. The brief monograph of Schleiden requires to be supplemented by a more pretentious work of wider range.”
