"Y » hat this to say of some bits ol last week's Toronto function : ~The rvice-regal box came in for a liberal share of scrutiny; which it was well worth. Lord Minto himsalf is not a spectar!l:, however. He looks rather as though he would prefer retirement. i That louk of sadpess in his eyes-- well, a novelist might make a heab of speculation out of that, and tal through his literary hat all the while. Minto loves horses: and a man who truly loves a horse in all a horse's noods, 'santiot be: an habitually sad nian. That look may be a mere here- ditary: trait. ~ Somebody far back in the Elliot clan had it: Certainly Lady Violet has, but less than her father. It comes out somewhat in her eyes; but rather more in a rib-pensive curl of the lip, that is not half so mirth- ful 'as her laugh or her speech. Bat, of course, she is her mother's daugh- ter, and you would know it by the face. Lady Minto seems as though she could be an eminent success in at least two very important roles of (a woman's carer; that of hostess and "mamma." She is a rapid talker and a prime listener; which is" tantamount to saying that she is a good conver ser. She does not prate or hold the floor; She hali bites off the words of her companion; intuitively = anticipa ting his: remark; quick with a ques tion; still more quick with a reply. She skims well--less 'like a butterfly than a bee--a necessary trait in a hostess; takes little time to reflect also a greatly feminine way. Her laugh comes easy. The normal cast of hor face is a smile which rises in the eyes before the lips get it; and may, if you watch it closely enough, shade off into a look that is not mere pass- ing wit .or humor, but something more serious; what I scarcely know; but 1 should" say that if' it became necessary to let a man know, Lady Minto could do it. Hér excellency's charming attention to' her dadghters is.a fine bit in her character; to us, as Canadians, and prone to forget the delicate obliga- tions of cultured parenthoqd, far more vahmable as an example tWan her fa known for her motherhood. Lady Minto shows that she is not too old of too absorbed in gubernatorial af mother. © And there is nothing more simply charming. The funcfion of the governor-general mav ~~ seem.a trifle foggy to Canadians some times; but the example of the first lady of the land as a cultured, thoughtiul mo may greatly fill a need. . . i . The annual meeting of the ity on Thursday, in St: James' school variousgcircles brought in most . sa tisfactory reports of the success in report oi the secretary of the Aber- deen association, showed splendid progress in this most beneficent field.

In railway committee this morning was presented the hill, of the Bruce mines and Algoma company, which has a charter for fifty miles north from Lake Huron and has gone only poventeen miles to ite, copper depos its. Now it is ambitious and in a very short bill, compressed into four- teen lines, asked power to run a line to James' Bay, 400 miles: It was a prime instance of .& very small tail endeavoring to swing a mastiff; this bluff of a mining road to secure a high sounding and pretentious char ter.
