Toronto, last Saturday evening, a strong protest was entered against Canadian Governments, whether Federal or local, giving further aid to any schemes of assisted immigration, which was de- clared to bc unfair to the immigrants themselves, still more unfair to the me- chanics and workingmcn of Canada, and doubly unfair to the community in gen- eral, which is taxed to bring out a lot of men, women and children. who too often have to be supported by charity for some time after their arrival. Our sympathies are wholly with the unfor- tunate victims of "man's inhumanity to man,” who ought to be able to bring suits against and recover damages from the soallcss individuals who brought them or induced them to come to this country by false prctenccs. The influx of immigrants is partly due to the ef- forts to induce it made by the Govern- ments, and especially to the pecuniary assistance offered to those who wished to try their fortunes this side of the At- lantic and had not the means of paying their passage; but there can be little doubt that the preposterous statements made by lying agents of ship owners who wished to see their vessels filled with passengers, or of capitalists who desired to keep the labour market over- stocked, brought out crowds of people who, however badly olf they were at home, were not likely to better them- selves by crossing the ocean. A re- markable proof of the false hopes that had been raised in the breasts of at least some of these poor deluded crea- tures was given not long ago in one of the immigrants’ sheds at Toronto, where the Inothcr of a girl who was of- fcrcd a situation as maid of all work, said that her daughters had come to this country to be ladies. not servants l Even in wellinformcd circles in Eng- land the most exaggerated notions of life in the colonies still prevails, for only the other day the Rev. John P. Kitto, rector of Stcpncy, wrote to the London Slundurtln letter in which he urged the propriety of obtaining contributions for the purpose of conveying multitudes from poverty and helplessness in East London to the plenty and indcpcdencc lcf Canada.

If persons of wealth and position in cities, and those who are the best of in communi- ties where none are wealthy, would set the example ofsimple and inexpensive funerals, their motive would be underâ€" stood and appreciated, and they would be gladly and even gratefully followed by persons of humbler means, who would rejoice at the abolition of the op- pressive and pernicious custom which now compels them to squander upon the dead the little money which is perhaps badly needed by the living. We read awhile ago that a ton of gold is annual- ly packed into hollow teeth in the States alone, and if this be true and the pres- ent fashion of trimming rich people's coffins with precious metals continue, specie will become scarce and old grave- yards, especially iu cities, of fabulous value. Fâ€" Noxious Weeds. The new Act (assented to March 25th. 1884) to prevent the spread of noxious weeds and diseases affecting fruit trees has been printed in sheet- form and distributed throughout Onta- rio. The first clause rcpcals somewhat similar Acts passed in the forty-second and forty-lourth years of Her Majesty‘s reign. and the second is as follows :â€" “'It shall be the duty of every owner of land, or the Occupant thereof if the owner is not resident within the local municipality wherein the same is situ- ateâ€"(l) To cut down or destroy all the Canada thistles. ox-eye daisy, wild oats. ragweed and burdock growing on his land, and all other noxious weeds grow- ing on his land to which this Act may be extended by by-law of the munici- pality, so often each and every year as is sufficient to prevent the ripening of their seed; (2) To cut out and burn all tho black-knot found on plum or cherrytrees on his land. so often each and every year as it shall appear in such trees; and (3) To cut down and burn any peach, nectarine or other trees on his land infected with the disease known as the yellows, and to destroy all the fruit of trees so inlccted.” The council of any city, town or in. corporatcd village may extend the op- eration of the Act to any particular weed or disease of trees becoming prev- alent, or may by by;law suspend it on. tirer as regards large tracts or blocks of waste land upon the petition of not less than thirty ratepayers ; and any such council shall, upon the petition of fifty or more ratepayers. appoint at least one Inspector to see that the Act is enâ€" forced. Any Inspector, overseer of high- ways, or other officer who refuses or no- glccts to perform the. duties imposed upon him by this Act shall be liable to a penalty of not less than ten nor more than twenty dollars ; and any owner or occupant of lands who disregards the notice sent him by the proper official, shall be fined not less than five nor more than twenty dollars. The Act covcrs non-resident lands. public highways and railway lands. and is as stringent and? at the same time as reasonable us'could; he wished. The rapid spread of noxious weeds and diseases affecting fruit trees in this province is admitted and deplored; but, as far as our own observation goes, no resolute or persistent efforts have been made to check them. The truth is, it is one thing to pass a law and another to procure its observance. and it this particular Act is not persistently and resolutely enforced it might just as well be a dead letter. Its provisions are stringent enough, but the appointment of an officer to see that they are obcycd should be compulsory instead of being left dependent upon the joint action of no less titan fifty ratepayers. On nine out of every ten farms the weeds are so numerous that to cut them all down even once in the year would be a task which the owners are not all likely to petition to have imposed upon them ; and if Canada thistles, burdocks, rag- wccds. &c.. are to be allowed to increase and multiply in any township in which half a hundred patriots do not combine against them, we are afraid that their days will be long in the land from which it is cverybody's interest. to cxtirpntc them. Fire Protection Meeting. The public meeting called by the council “ to consider the advisability of providing suitable appliances for the protection of property in this village from fire, was held on Thursday even- ing, but was not by any means as an. mcrously attended as it ought to have been. This was no doubt partly owing to the fact that the rcevc bought at an auction sale in Midland last. Tuesday a hand engine which was amongst the effects of the late British ch Canadian Lumbering .k. Timber Co., which possi- bly led many of our villagers to believe that the matter was settled and that a meeting was no longer necessary. But the recve’s purchase, which is probably not. much of an affair, as it was knocked down at 885, though it is said to have cost $500, is not likely to meet the re- quircments of Fenelon Falls. and it is fortunate that, though be consulted some of the councillors before he at- tended the sale, be is willing to kee the engine himself if the ratepayers. sff ter seeing it in operation, do not wish to take it. As we stated last week, what Feuelon Falls ought to have is a reliable steam fire engine, and Mr. J. D. Ronald. of Brussels, Out, who man- ufactures probably the boat in use, and who was at the meeting on Thursday evening, advanced arguman in their favour which we shall lay before'bur readers in next Saturday's issue.

To entirely exclude the water may be a dificult jolifbut it is evident that it must be kept~out or work at the lower end of the canal cannot proceed. A full month's delay'in resuming exca- vating and stoneworlé has been caused already. and there is no telling how much more time may be lost and money expended, though ofqu the best is hoped for. DING":th Scttoor. Aocoxxona-nox. â€"â€"-By the School Board proceedings published this week it will be seen that the attendance in the lowest two do- partmeuts has become so large that there is not. auficieu't‘ room for all the pupils, and more will have tube pro vided. If it had been thonghto in time the old Methodist church nearly opposite the school house might have been purchased. and would have done very well for summer use; and in the winter it probably «would not be requir- ed. as the attendance is than much amal- leIr than during the summer mouths. Bond street, which will not be used as a place of worship after the end of this month. It is clear that something must be done, as uitea number of the 77 children in A is McDiargnid's depart- ment have to nigon the edges of their teachur's platform. Too Banâ€"The Queen's birthday will soon be here and Dominion Day five weeks later, but not a word has yet been said about celebrating either of them in Fenelou Falls; which is really too bad. as it will give outsiders the impression that we are either utterâ€" ly destitute of patriotism or steeped to the lips in poverty. It is to be hoped that. at the least, the two anniversaries will be observed as holidays; but we doubt whether even that will be done unless steps be taken to insure it. Let all the merchants in the village sign an agreement to close their stores on the 24th of May and the lst of July, and then let. the fact be well advertised, so that the country people may be made aware that no business will be done in this village on either of those days. Af- ter the above was in type we learned that there is to be a band excursion by the steamer Eva on the. Queen's birth- day. but to what point has not yet been decided. ._._.- The ” State of Florida." The fate of the missing steamer State of Florida, which left New York on the 12th of April. has at length become known. She collided at 11:30 p. m. on the 18th, in mid-ocean, with the barque I’omenn, of Chatbam, N. 13., and the latter instantly sank, taking with her twelve out ‘of the. crew of fifteen, the captain and two men being saved. The Florida, which floated a little longer, must have had on board a total of 179 persons, as it is stated that 135 were drowned and 44 saved. The survivors, after being thirty-five hours in the boats without food or water, were rescued by the Narwegian barque Theresa, of Christiana, bound for Quebec, where they have since arrived. - Waiting Forty-two Years to Wed. A thorough love match reaches our cars from Russia, where two people had loved and been constant to each other forty-two years, the man being then 25 and the woman sweet 17. Fortune, how ever, in their case was cruel. The con- ple knew that to marry and be pcnnilcss would be madness. So for forty-two years have they waited. The man now, by industry, owns a two story wooden house, and the Woman has saved by thrift and care 500 roubles, and their patience perseverance are at last reward- ed by a happy marriage: An' eye Ivlt- ncss declares that it is impossible to re- late the happiness which shono in the eyes of these old and faithful lovers as they were made one by the priestly blessing. . ‘ Killing a Six H ndred Dollar Bear. The Montreal Slur sayszâ€"A few days ago two shoyvmcn arrived at Levis with a couple of,:traincd bears, and wishing. to obl‘ain'ia permit from the Quebec authorities for street exhibi- tions, they lodged their beasts in n sta- ble and went across the river. The two hours had been muzzlcd, but not tied up, and one of them. finding his way out, quietly walked down to the wharf. A crowd soon gathered, and some imprudent young men having teased bruin, he got in a rage and wént in pursuit of one Joseph Guillaume. The poor man fled to a pile. of planks on the edge of the river, where he was soon followed by the aggressor. One of the boards having broken, Guillaume fell into the water, and it was with dif- ficulty he was rescued” Those present soon put an end to the trouble by no- ceremoniously killing the savage beast, much to the chagrin of his owners, who valued him at 8600. o- Tramp Printers. Speaking of printers brings to mind the printer tramp, who ranges the con- tinent from one end to the other. There are probably more roamers in this busi- ness than in any other. The reasons are that the Work is unilorm through- out thc country. The printer can carry his tools in his vcst pocket. and as ev- ery little town has a weekly and many a daily paper, he is always sure of at least a day‘s work to help him on his way. The fraternity has in its mczn- bcrship some of the greatest tramps of the day, well-informed, first class work- men, who would soon amass wealth if they would settle down and attend to work. But there seems to be a fascin- ation about tranIping which prevents them from returning to the path of re- spectablc industry once they have wan- dered away- from it. The summer is the season for thctnflvhcn they wander untrammclcd in the country lanes, sleep in hay-mews, and grow fat, but even in winter they may be seen upon the road Before the snow was off the ground one of them waited into an office up-strcet, and espyinga discarded pair of over- shoes in a corner, he immediately pounced upon them. Finding that they were too narrow in the toes to fit ovor his boots, he removed the latter, sawed the toes round with the ofice saw. kick- ed on the overshoea and departed.â€" Toronto News. . The Dynamite Discovery. (From the Toronto Globe.) The Government’s offer of 81.000 for information, it is to be hoped, will lead to the detection of the villain or villains who laced dynamite in the Parliament Buildlngs. It is lmpovible to exaggerv ate the magnitude of the crime that was intended. and it in useless to on- deavour to imagine that no crime was intended. No man would. unless he had a substantial purpose to servo, or wasa nuanced and vicious crank, . . ‘~rw~:‘~:~::::;;':_ :1‘”:;.'.i’,€. tiger among them. Indeed a Bengal tiger would be 1m dangerous in a schoolyard than would dynamite laced where inexperienced pemus‘euul find or handle it. We are afraid, however, that little confidence is to be placed in the theory that merely a scare was in. tended. It is far more likely that the villain actually intended to explode his dynamite. but that his courage failed him or that the passing of some persons on Front street disturbed him. All con- jecture as to the motive ol the deed is fruitless until some lurthcr discoveries have been made. All that is known would lead to the conclusion that the perpetrator was some i DSiblO crank or fanatic, but, as the history of Guitean suggests, none the less dangerous on that account. ‘ - Transatlau i0 Gossip. HOW AN ARTIST SECURED ROYAL. Elf COGNITION. 1, New YORK. May 4.â€"A cable ties patch in the Tribune says :-â€"â€"Quecn Vic- toria’s foibles have again been success fully worked upon, this time by a ris- ing young artist, R.’ Catou Woodvillc. Mr. \l’oodvillc's‘principnl contribution to the Royal Academy Exhibition this year is an alleged historical battle piece entitled “ 'l'el-cl-Kebor," in which the‘ Duke of Connaught is represented as gallantly charging a host of Egyptians at the head of his brigade, and amid a perfect hailstorm of shot and exploding shells. It is true that Prince Arthur had the nominal command of the first brigade of the British expedition of 1882 against Arabi Pasha. which won its final victory at Telel-Keber. It is also true that Gen. Wolsclcy in his of- ficial dcspatches reported that “ the Duke of Connaught behaved nobly," but all the contemporary records of the battle would be searched in vain for any such example of reckless daring as is pourtraycd in Mr. Woodvillc's stir- ring picture. The painting has been purchased for a round sum, and is to be added to the Royal l’icmre Gallery at Windsor Castle~ 0-0 A Noted English Racehorse Coming to America. The once famous English racchorsc Stylitcs is on his way to New York. He is cwncd. by Lord Aylcsford. who paid £2,000 for him as a yearling. Ills chance for the Stewards' Cup at Good- wood in 1879 was deemed a Inorul cer- tainty. and Lord Aylesford plunged on him to the tune of £72000. The race was won by that wonderfully fast horse Pctcr. Heads separated the first three, and Stylitcs was third. Lord Aylcs- flu-d, who has II big ranch in Texas, will not take the horse out there, but has made arrangements to place him in the stud somewhere in \Vcstchcstcr coun- ty. Stylitcs Will be a great acquisition to the breeding interest. in thi: country. - He was Ioalcd in 1876. and is .‘l hay in i colour, stands about 16 hands, and mm bines the blood-like beauty of the Now- nIinstcr family with the bone and sub- stance ofa dray horse. “is breeding is simply royal.
