There has been some comment upon the limited travel by boat this year. of the steamers, and this fact has sug- gested that the uncertain weather and the Jamestown exhibition have had to do with it. crease, 100, is purely local, and arises, says one contemporary, from the in- i J|oveased prosperity of Canada. People are doing well and living well, and outside the populous centres there it developing the suburban experience which gives, trade to the local rail ways. There is another element in the cal- Fine and pure culation--the element of rush. It en- ters into the vocations of the people. They are restricted in the time they have for outings, and so they travel from point to point as fast as they can. The steaniboat, palatial and clean, has been a powerful attraction heretofore. The day is coming, how- ever, when the observation ear, drawn by the noiseless and smokeless en- gine, and driven by electric energy, will capture the peopic's attention and secure their patronage. The retort, that the railwavs have this year secured an in¢rease of fifteen per cent. in travel, and that it is ap- parently at the expense of the steam- boats, is something to ponder over.

The classes can be made free, in the institute, however, or the fees made low, if the people generally, or the "land sharks," as one person puts it, pay the cost of them. There will not be any objection from the school board if all the forms of institute are made free--if the fees by direct taxation: It is a simplo proposition of having the parents of the high school pupils pay some of dary 'education, or the » the entire burden.

The town of Galt is"lamed after him. Capt. Gilkison became the founder of Elora, Ont. in 1832. After being a sailor and a prisoner of war in France for months, the captain escaped in a small boat, being tired of sea life. He arrived in New York in 1796, with letters' of introduction to John Jacob tomtmand of a schooner on Lake Erie, owned by John J.

Gilkison had a house and farm in Brock- ville in 1810, and built the first house in Prescott, in 1811, where his fifth son, Archibald, was born, who 'was a lawyer and judge in Picton in 1850. Mr, Gilki- son then moved to Johnston, where his sixth son was born on March 13th, 1814; and named him Jasper Lough, after his old friend Jasper Lough, of: Montreal. This son was christened by Alex. Mc- Donaid, who afterwards became the Srst i of 'Kingston, of the Roman Catholic church. : ; Capt. Gilikson was appointed by Sir Isaac Brock as field riermaster-gen- eral, with fe rank captain, together with-Mr. Wm Portons, to provide all the nedessaried for the soldiers during the war of 1812. He was present at the battle of Chrysler's farm, on the 11th of November, 1813, under the command of Col. Morrison, and carried off the field Major Duncan Fraser, a brother officer ; and his two boats, which had been land- ed at Mr. Stewart's, on Hooper's Creek, in the eastern district, were plundered and destroyed by a division of the enemy's army, General Brown and his men, on their advance to Cornwall. A memorial of the loss of his goods was sent to His Excellency, Sir George Prevost. The memorial was sent too late, and was not granted, and he lost all; a great many claimed that it was a piece of injustice, as others had been refunded for their losses. In 1825 he again placed a memorial into the hands x Mr. Allan, of York (now Toronto), with a letter to the secretary of the board of claims, Mr. McAuley, but he was agan refused. : Much space is given in the paper for dates, and it is noted that on May 6th, 1814, Oswego was captured by British and Canadian troops. Among other things noted are the fol- lowing: The ingprporation of the Cata- raqui Bridge mpany, that John R. Glover, J. Marks, J. McCully, J. Kirby, Christopher QO, Hagerman, Michael Spratt and others be incorporated for the purpose of building this bridge, and that they have subscr stock Of six- teen thousand pounds, the bridge to be built from Kingston to Point Frederick, with sufficient strength for the passage of artillery carriages and cattle, and that toll shall be paid, provision being made for a draw bridge for vessels, In September, ¥ the first steamer that went through the Long Sault rapids was built at Kingston by Mr. White, an Amegican shipbuilder, for the Hon. ohn Hamilton. It was towed up to by the steamer Great Britain, to have her engines put in. Her length was two hundred feet, and she travelled fourteen miles an hour. ; The largest ship in Canada was built in 1826, at the Te of Orleans, below chec. She had four masts, was 300 Re long, so feet wide, 30 feet deep Her sister ship, Baron of Renfrew, was still larger. Chas. Wood, a famous shipbuilder of Port Glasgow, was the builder of the boat. The arrival of the steamer Columbus at the Thames was one of the wonders of that period, and the Duke of Clarence, afterwards Wil- liam IV. was entertained with a dis: tinguished : company -of one hundred sts, in the cabin of the steamer, Capt.

The latter's friends persuaded the divine to with- draw the accusation if, Samson would promise not to offer the minister any hurt. The question seemed about to be adjusted, it being settled that the clergy- man should, on the following Sunday, THE HD. BIBBY CO. publicly retract his statement as to the honesty ofMr. Samson. Therefore, rising in the pulpit on the day appointed, the minister. said: "It 'pears dta a remark of mine, in de sermon of last Sunday, has been de cause fo offence, an' I derefore amends it. What I should have said was dis: 'I see befo' me ten chicken-thicves, not includin' Dan Samson." How To Be Popular, Here are just a few rules: First--Remember that a good voice is essential to self-possession, as good ideas are 'essential to fluent language. The voice should be carefully trained and developed. A full, clear flexible voice is one of the surest indications of good breeding. Second--Remember that one may be witty without being popular, voluble without being agreeable, a great talker and yet.a great bore. Third--Be sincere, ally sneers at every thing not only ren- / ders herself disagreeable to others, but / will soon cease to find pleasure in life. Fourth--Be frank. A frank, open countenance and a clear, cheery laugh are worth far more. even socially -than pedantry and a stiff cravat. Fifth--Be amiable. You may hide a vindictive nature under a polite exterior for a time, as a cat masks its sharp claws in velvet fur, but the least provo- cation bring out one as quickly as the other, and 1ill-natured people are always disliked. tuck, 3 8c. a foot, legs thrown in.
