which seemed dazed by the phenomenon. ‘On Friday night,” says Captain Clark, ‘‘a little after midnight, I was startled to see a great ball of fire suddenly appear on the end of the jibboom. I knew, of course, the jibboom was not on fire, and that if it was the fire could not very well take the form of asphere. The crew were puzzled and and alarmed. Five minutes later a stiff squall swept down upon us, lasting for half an hour. The ugly visitor disappeared during the wind, but the mohent it abated appeared again in its same perch and quick as a flash, similar balls ap- peared on thetopmasts. They would come and goand change position,one time coming down to the partners. There was hissing

noise like that of an electric light. Another strange thing was the presence about us us of so many sea gulls. They must have been attracted by the great lights. At all

events there must have been several hundred of them, and they seemed suddenly tamed or else help- less. They would flap lazily right into

the fiery balls and then drop into the water or on deck, We could have caught dezens of them, but you know all sailors are super- stitious concerning these gulls, and not one touched them. All this continued for about two hours, The man at the wheel lashed it, and it was a good thing he did, for none of us had our wits about us. Sud- denly another squall passed over, the four

balls biended into one as quick as a flash, and disappeared to leeward. The birds must have

gone with the fire. For a few minuies afier the great glare we could see nothing. When our sight did return not a gull was on or about the vessel. 1 suppose they were only stunned when they fell on deck.” These. luminous balls were ‘St. Elmo’s fire,” which is nothing more or less than electricity. On the Atlantic Ocean vessels and steamers are often visited by them, but the phenomenon has never been known on the lakes.

People going to the country for their sum- mer holidays sometimes say that the vaca- tion is pleasant, but that getting ready to go is as much as the trip is worth. The Czar’s experience is somewhat the same.

A Good Lesson.

A young man, a student in oae of our universities, was one day taking a walk with a professor, who was commonly called the students’ friend, from his kindness to those who waited on his instructions. As they went along they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes, which they supposed to belong to a poor man who was employed in a field close by, and who had neariy finish- ed his day’s Work. The student turned to the professor, saying : ‘‘Let us play the man a trick; we will hide his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his _per- plexity when he cannot find them.” **My young friend,” answered the profess- or, “‘we should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor. But you are rich, and may give yourself a much greater pleas- ure by means of this poor man. Put acrown into each shoe, and then we will hide our- selves and watch how the discovery affects him.” The student did so, and they both then placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. While putting on his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes; but, finding sumething hard, he stooped down to feel what it was, and found the crown. Aston- ishment and wonder were seen upon his countenance. He gazed upon the coin, turned it round, and looked at it again and again. He then looked round him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket and pro- ceeded to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was doubled on _ finding the other crown. His feelings overcame him; he fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven, and uttered aloud a fervent thanks- giving, in which he spoke of his wife, sick and nelpless,and his children without bread, whom this timely bounty, from some un known hand, would save from perishing. The student stood there deepl affected and his eyes filled with tears. Now,” said the Professor, ‘‘are you not much better

APPEARANCE OF FARMS AFTER THE MEBT- ING OF THA CLOUDS—THIS YEAR'S CROPS TOTALLY DETROYED.

The injury done to the crops in the Township of Markham is even worse than at first reported. The hailstorm on the 12th inst., was something terrific. The farmers in the locality, noticed two small clouds, one in the northwest, and one in the northeast. They came into collision

just south of Unionville, and people who witnessed the storm say that the sound was similar to

that of the Falls of Niagara. The sight of the whirling clouds was grand. The farmers in the fields becoming terrified, expecting that the storm would sweep all before it, ran to places of shelter. The storm burst forth with violence almost in- describable. The wind, however, did not last long, but the shower of hailstones, of extraordinary size, continued for almost twenty minutes. After these few minutes, some of the finest crops in Ontario were utterly destroyed. Beautiful spring wheat was driven into the ground, and the fields looked as if the grain had been cut with dull reapers. The siubble is uneven and an oceasional head of grain which escaped falling hailstones still stands to show what the crop was before the storm. Mr. William Rennie, of this city, visited the scene on Friday. He says the great force of this extraordiuary storm culminated at Hagerman’s Hill, where the crops were completely destroyed for over a mile square. In this vicinity the fences appear as if they had been shot at and riddled with bullets. The cattle and other live stock on the farms were badly bruised by falling hail- stones. Mr. William Milliken, lot 5, in the 5th cencession, had 28 acres of wheat, 24 acres of barley, 18 acres of oats, 6 acres of roots, and 8 acres of peas utterly cut to pieces. Several other far- mers have fared in the same unfortunate manner. Many of the hailstones weighed two and three ounces after they had lain for some time. The windows on the north side of the farm houses were smashed. The roofs of barns have to be re-shingled, so great isthe damage. The farmers are cutting up their spoiled grain for feed for live stock. Old residents remember a storm such as this on the 12th of July, 1856.—Toronto Globe.

—_-- . lll ee The Czar on a Time.

The Czar will havea pleasant holiday journey to Warsaw. The road between St. Puseaben and the old Polish capital will be guarded by 13,000 picked ~ men. Whether the Czar will pick the men out himself the despatches do not say, but it is not to be suppesed that he would trust any one else to do it. Some of these selected soldiers will stand at every crossing, and at every bridge and station. Others will walk back and forth along the _ track; looking out for misplaced rails and dyna- mite. The Czar will pass some twenty soldiers for every mile he journeys.

The despatch goes on to say that all the Russians in the city of Warsaw who do not satisfy the authorities concerning their loyalty will be banished before the arrival of the Czar. The authorities of Warsaw will have their hands full. The city has a population of 250,000, of whom nearly all

pleased than if you had played your in- tended trick?” The youth replied, “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget. I feel now the truth of these words, which I never understood before, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”’

-_ ————=>- @.- aa English-Canadian Notes.

Under the auspices of Lady Hobart, another party of emigrants will leave for Canada on the 17th inst. The party will chiefly consist of agricultural laborers, whese destination will be the Maritime Provinces.

We believe it is the intention of the chief illustrated papers to publish special supplements in connection with the visit of the British Association to Canads. Both letter-press and engravings will probably be specially prepared,

A number of fresh specimens of Canadian woods and yrain, with some fine photo- graphs, have 7 been received at the high commissioner's office in London, for exhibi- tion at the Roya) Agricultural Show at

Shrewsbury next week.

We hear that in ail probability Mr. San- ford Fleming will be appointed by the Canadian Government as the Canadian delegate at the Prime Meridian Conference to be held at Washington during the ensu- ingautump. Mr. Sandford Fleming, it is well known, takes a very keen interest in this subject, and will in every way be a fitting representative of Canada.

Some steps are being taken, we believe, to promote the emigration to Canada of a proportion of the young lads and girls who are educated in charitable institutions in this country. It is urged, and we think with considerable truth and force, that the fact that these children were admitted to the institutions in question, is a proof that their antecedents are satisfactory, while they have undoubtedly received a good education, ae in many cases excellent training to fit them for the position they

the] Dominion

would most easily obtain in

And that they would have a better prospect

before them there than they can have apprenticed or sent into sérvice here is aleo beyond question.

All who take an interest in such Cana- dian emigration will observe with regret that so little was said on the subject in the debate on the report of the Crofters’ Com- mission in the House of Commons. None of the speakers referred at any length to the piopual made by the commission under this head, but Mr. D. Cameron, whose re- marks throughout were listened to with much attention as the observations of an authority on all matters the crofters, recommended that provision should be made for the promotion of vol- untary emigration’ as the best relief for congested districts. Sir William Harcourt said little or nothing on the topic. It is only natural that the Government should refuse to take legislative action until they have had further time to consider the re- commendations of the commission, and it is to be hoped, and we may say expected, that the suggestions relating to emigration will not be overlooked by them, The Home Secretary is svarcely likely to forget the fact that the unqueationed success of the good work Lady Gordon Cathcart has car-
