A Cunning Chairman. Europe stood amazed as the wily Bis. mark sat complacently at the head of the Berlin Congress table smiling and bowing as each rapacious power enatched away what. ever he could lay hands on. The cunning " Bis" seemed disinterested and appeared anxious that all should take enough or at least as much as satisfy them ; and com} plaisant « Bis" did not appear to care for anything, It appears however that the cunning chairman was only stuffing the rest 80 that when he is ready to take his reward the other powers would be muzzled. Itis contended that that the principle having been in a measure endorsed that the right of the strongest is always the best, he will not be long before he secures that sea board land he will be in a position to secure this and the other Powers, under the circum- stances, can scarcely with anything like good grace raise objections, ---- Repeaters.

As Quinn and Lyons are two of the shining lights of the Grit party here, the course of the Herald is causing some re- mark, In order to strike at the root of the evil the IHearld ought to demand the dismisal of the Mackenzie Government and thus remov- ing the cause the effect would cease. et -- nt More of Blake's one sided Act. On Saturday afternoon among these who visited St. Helen's Island to witness the Fifth Fusiliers regimental games was Sergeant Richardson in civilian's clothes | who remained with a friend vntil the regi. ment came over at about nine o'clock in the evening, When the boat touched the wharg the Sergeant got oft and waited to sce the regiment fall in and march up town, and while putting his hand in his coat pocket to take out his handkerchief, was startled by a man who caught him by the collar and was about to search him, He stepped back in surprise, and asked bis assailant what he meant. He replied, "You've got. a rifle in your pocket." The Sergeant was somewhat amused, and said, "Well I'd require a pretty long pocket to cairy a rifle; don't you think so?" "Well, you've got fire arms of some sort, anyway, he said, as he proceeded to com- plete his search, * The Sergeant thought the joke had gone too far when the man began to rifle his pockets, and accordingly he demanded what authority he had to act us a constable.-- He replied, "I'm a special constable.'-- The Sergeant told hin that he was trying to search a Police officer, and advised him to go away, he answered, " I know you're Ser- geant Richardson, but I'm going to search you," Upon this the Sergeant took hold of his officious friend and brought him back to the Central Station, He gave his name as Thomas T. Flynn, librarian, and one of the 500 special®constables, His Honor the Recorder this morning Oned him $5 or one month for his assumption. Here is one of Major Beabdry's 500 lambs taking upon himself the responsibility of searching any one he thought fit.

On the 1st of July at Mark Lane, London, Canadian peas were in greater request than any other kind, At Leeds on July 1st Canadian cattle were sold for 118 4d per stone, whilst native cattle sold at 11s and best Danish cattle at 9s to Ai the next day at York, a Bar | lurge batch of Canadian beeves was quickly sold and realized from 9s 6d to 10s per stone whilst English stock only fetched 8s 6d to 10s and met with slow sale. These cattle were all sold on their merits as Canadian cattle in England wero the heaviest. Be- ceat shipments of sheep and hogs from this port have likewise taken top prices in the The Two Roses. Two roses once in my garden grew ; The one was brilliant and rich of hue ; Proud of her beauty and perfume rare, She spread her sweets to each passing air; The other, timid and chaste of mind, Shrank from the kiss of the fickle wind ; Proud in the pride of her virtue meek, She veiled the blush on her modest 'cheek. Dazed with the glare of her gaudy bloom, Drunk with the breath of her rich perfume, I tended the one with ceaseless care ; I marked the growth of each beauty rare, And I dreamed that all on rome future day Would own the power of her peerless sway: At length my flower that I loved the best, 1 sought to take and wear on my breast, That won from her parent stem to part, She might rest a while on my loving heart. But flown was the lure of her witching spell, As fluttering to earth her petals fll, Her heart was rotten and dead at the core-- And I knew that my foolish dream was o'er And Isaw how far the full bloom blaze That had charmed my Senses and won my Ppruise And I thought at last of the timid flower Which had pined unheeded for cooling So, fading and faded, she drooped and died. I saw to now, with wakening eyes, How near I had been to my longed for prize One-half of the care I had spent in vain-- Care that had brought me bnt grief and pain, If spent on the rose that had pined away, Would have reared a flower so chastely gay, That the joy of its countless charms untold My care had repaid a thousand fold, Ah! how oft in the toil and strite, The chances and changes which we call life, By slight neglect in the time of need, We kill the flower and we rear the weed ; Then we see it, and know too late, We blame not ourselves, but curse our fate; | For no solace have we on which to lean, We know what we long for might have been, Women in China. Miss King, who has travelled much in| China, think the Chinese ladies are as much { slaves of fashon as western ladies, The | higher classes of Chinese ladies are taught to control their voices ; that it is not polite to speak above a certaln tone. They also | study attitude and effects before a glass for | hours at a time, just like ours,and they band- age their feet for the same reason. that our girls cramp theirs, and tighten their | waists in order to produce elegance and | gentility of form. Women no not live single | in China, There is hardly a single woman | to be found in China; all the efforts of the | parents are devoted to getting her married, and a female child is often, promised to ® son of a friend before she is born. Daughters are undesired all over ihe world, and in erica ; for the lot of a girl, if she is poor, is| | rather see them die than live to inherit it.-- That is the reason that female infanticide is | $0 common in China, They considerit a justifiable act to rid her of the evils to come, | Moreover, a daughter is hardly considered as | belonging to her parents or to her own fam- ily. As soon as she is betrothed--which is as quickly as a suitable husband can be found--she is adopted into bis family, is brought up and educated by them, and even | if he should dio, would be at their dis- posal to bestow in marriage, if they choose, upon someone else. She has the alternative, however, of dedicating herself to the memery of her affianced, and such an act is consider, ed very praiseworthy. If she should do so and live to te a hundred years old, faithfully fulfiling her vows,and worshiping the tablets of her ancestors; she wculd have a pegoda erected to her memory, There are several such in China, ee 4 --e em. Turkish Wives. First among the Turkish social topics is that of the harem. The Koran allows a Mussulman to have four wives ; and many persons have consequently imagived that polygamy is the rule in Turky, whereas it is the exception, A Mussulmau may only have as many wives as be can keep in com- fort, and it is only the very rich who can afford to keep four. The middle class of Turks have only one wife apiece; the men of the lowest class are often obliged to remain single for want of sufficient means to sup- port a consort in the style which the Mos- lem law enjoins. Nothing can be more un~ Turkish than the Mormon idea of accum- lating a number of women uuder one roof, quarrelling in the kitchen and parlor, and acting as household drudge for her husband The Turkish wifeis not a slave; the chief fault to find with ber is that she has too lofty a sensé of her own dignity. An advocate of female right would have some difficulty in pursuading her that her lot was pitiuble ; she has never envied the emancipation of Christian women, whose free ways shock her ; while she has noticed that they get much less respect from the men of their faith than that which is invariably vouch- safed to herself. She veils her face with no more regret than a Western lady unveils her shoulders. Turkish women are not shut up. They go out when they please, attended by their odalike if rich, or holding their children by the hand ; aud their magpies voices fill the bazaars, for they are noisy talkers, Whenever they pass,men of all creeds stand aside deferentially If a husband meets his wife on the street he makes no sign of recognition ; if he perceives her halting in front of a drapers' stall, and gazing signifi cently at silks dearer than he can afford, h. must possess his soul in resignation, mutter r | ing "Mashallah." The respect for womer prevails also in the home circle, and it come: naturally to the Mussulman, who has been taught from his boyhood to behave corteous: x Agent, Port Perry.

BROWNE, General Agent: public, London and Liverpool markets, expression about "wearing the breeches" has its Turkish counterpart in the phrase, 'to live under the slipper ;" and it is feared that not afew Turks know the taste of this imple- ment of uxorial persuasion. A hamal (street porter) once came before a a cadi to complain that hin wife trounced him too frequently, 'See what mine does,' answered the magistrate, opening his gown and show- ing some wealts on his neck and shoulders. 'Go thy way, my son, and thank Allah thou art luckier than I.' ---- A cool proceeding--Driving an ice cart. Now small boys fall from cherry limbs, and thereby join the cherry-bims.

Try it on the first man you neet, A Hartford etomologist says there are at least a thousand kinds of bugs in that city. This will give one an idea of the number f boarding houses there, These broad, liberal minded men whom we hear so much talked of, generally turn out to be fellows who had as soon drink at a neighbors expense as their own, S------------------------------------ The Blake Act. % Monrrear, July 23. --The first two cons victions under the Blake Act were made this morning at .the Recorder's Court, Montreal, William End, clerk, was found on the 12th with two revolvers on his person, and was sentenced to fifteen days' imprisonment, = : End is the son ofa Protestant father and a Catholic mother, and the defence was that arms had been placed on him maliciously to get him into trouble, it not being likely, being connected with both parties, that he would harbor spite against either. Ths Recorder suggested jocularly that he had a revolver for each party, The other case was Michael Brennan, of Besancour, P.Q. arrested on the morning of the 12th, on ar- rival at Bonaventure depot. He was sen- tenced to one months' imprisonment, -- Counsel gave notice of appeal and the prisoners were released on bail. Another Newspaper Disaster.
