Mail had not denied this, and declared that ‘the only inference was that Sir Johu Me-
astrous, crushing.” We did not deny what it professsd to learn in Montreal, simply becanse no denial was necessary; the statement was manifestly absurd. In the first place, no attempt has yet been made tu close the bargain. The English Capital- ists with whom the Preiivr and his collea- gues are in treaty have not yet submitted their proposals. Moreover, certain conti- nental capitalists interested in the transac- tion, only arrived in London on Wednesday night. Lastly, before the Premier can be- gin the final negotiations. a conference with leading members of the Imperial Gov- ernment has to be held ; and this will pro- bably lead to some delay, for Mr. Gladstone is quite unfit to attend to business. If ‘our contemporary had = applied = te its London agent instead of to its inner consciousness, he would doubtless have supplied it with these plain and simple facts. Untortunately, the truth is not the object of the Glebe’s ambition ; it simply wants to cmbarrass the Canadian ministers and ren- der their visit abortive, for party purposes. li dare not pretend that it has the pablic interest at heart. Why, the scheme which Sir John Macdenaid is about to submit for tinal approval to these syndicates is, in principle, the same as that which Mr, Mae- kenzie brought under the notice of English capitalists two years, ago, viz., the building of the road out of the lands; and at that time the Globe said it was an excellent ar- rangement. What is the matter with it now, except that there has been a change of ambassadors! In seeking to compass the failure of a proposal of such vast import- ance to the people, just to have the pleasure of seeing a political opponent come acme with his finger in his mouth, our contemporary is not ‘playing a very patriotic part.
it would be ridiculous to say that com- plete success will surely crown the negotia- tions, but itean safely be said that the Doninien representatives will leave noth- ing undone on their part to deserve it. If they fail it will be unfortunate ; but the country will not be a cent’s worth the poorer. Mr. Mackenzie failed dismally : he did not get a single bona side offer ; but that did not reb the territory of an acre of its area, or deprive the soil of any measure of its fertility. ‘The road must be built, sooner or later; it is a cemmercial and polli- tical necessity ; and if we cannot sell the lands ew bive for its cons‘ruction, we must be content with hastening slowly within the limit of our means and resources. No good Canadian, however, whatever his politics, will countenance the attempts made on this side of the Atlantic to kill off a scheme which, in Mr. Mackenzie’s hands, received the universal approval of the country. Politics is politics, but this mur- dering of the national credit is an infameus business.

MARKETS.
Pork is in fair demand. In Montreal hams are quoted at 12 te 12) cents per |b. for uncovered and 13 to 135 cents for can- vassed. Shoulders are getting scarce and and dearer, barrelled lots having changed hands at 8} to 9 cents per lb. Bacon is un- changed. Wool by the fleece is quoted at from 30 to 32 cents per lb.; but a decrease of price is anticipated. Canadian eggs are quoted at 15 cents in Boston and 15 cents in New Yerk. ‘The Montreal Gazette of the 9th gives the following list of prices at Montreal on that date:—
Mess pork, per bbl insp’d $00.00 @ $17.50 Thin mess, per bbl....... 16.50 @ 17,00 Hams, city cured, per lb. 0.11, @ 00.12 do, canvassed, per Ib. 0.124 @ 00.13 Lard, in tubs and pails... 0.105 @ 00.1] Lard, in tierces, per 1b... 00.09 @ 00.094 DAMA ice eee 0.095 @ 00,105 Beef, mess, per Ib,...... 00.00 @ 90.00

Mr. J. B. Grimes, who has just re- turned from Coleradoy states that when he left Denver there was not jess than 600 well educated and refined young men in that city who were literally begging their bread from door to door. They have con- gregated there from all the mining camps of the State and have not the means to get nearer home. One live Yankee from the State of Vermont, with more mechanical ingenuity than money, determined not to remain there, and set his wits to work to get away. By buying, begging and barter- ing, he succeeded in getting four old flange wheels, with which he fitted up a four- wheeled railroad velocipede. -This he bal- lasted with cheap provisions and put out for the East. He left Denver behind the regular train and kept within sight for many miles. He was finally lost to sight, but hove into Kansas City less than 24 hours behind time.

Sutter fat alsu consists of fatty acids in combiflation with glycerine ; but while by far the larger
nature, there are invariably present several of those which are volatile or soluble in water, and it is to the latter, the most im- portant of which is butyric acid, that the characteristic taste and smell of butter is chiefly due. In rich butters the proportion of the volatile acids is comparatively large, the specific gravity of the fatis high, and the percentage of “‘fixed” fatty acide is correspondingly low.
The attempts of oleomargarine manufac- turers te convince the public that beef tal- low, or ‘‘ suet,” as tallow is usually called by the compounders, is ‘‘ just as good ” as butter, are very absurd. The difference between yood butter and the cleanest speci- men of the eleomargarine mixture is ‘heaven wide.’’ Chemistry steps in to confirm what our sense of taste leads us. to infer, and so long as cows give us milk and cream forms ready for the churn, we shall use good butter, and throw the manipn- lated, scented tallow to the dogs.
Mitx.-—The necessity of keeping milk from the neighborhood of bad odors has been tonchecd on frequently by the news- paper press. ‘The dairy shonld be at seme distance from the cow yard, if at all pos- sible. The ‘‘ Rural New Yorker’ in this connection, remarks that to keep milk clean while in the act of drawing it, the cow must be clean, her udder and teats washed and wiped before commencing te milk her, and the milkman’s hands then be washed. After straining and setting, see that ne foul air can come from any quarter to taint the milk ; and for this we must be particularly careful, for such is eften born on a strong breeze fully a mile off or more from the place where it origin- vied. It is, of course, pre-supposed that all vessels used for holding the milk, are kept clean and entirely clear of every sort of odors. We have often seen the diary house placed close to the cattle yard, poul- try house, and, what is foulest of all, a dirty pig pen. No wonder where this is the case 80 much butter and cheese af sent to the market not fit to be eaten.

August Flower.
The immense sale and great popularity of Green’s August Flower in all towns and vil- lages in the civilized world has caused many imitators tu adopt simi/ar names, expecting to reap a harvest for themselves at the expense of the afflicted. This medicine was introdue- ed in 1868, and for the cure of Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, with their effects, such as Sour Stomach, Sickheadache, Indigestion, Paipitation of the Heart, vertigo, etc., ete., it never has failed to our knowledge. Three doses willrelieve any case of Dyspepsia. Twe million bottles sold last year, Price 75 cents, Samples 10 cents.
