Fcnelon Falls, April 27th, 1891. iii. Fcnelon Falls Gazette. Friday. April 29th. 1892. As Others See Us. Mr. E E. Sheppard, of Toronto, who is publishing in his paper, Saturday l Night, an acciiunt of his recent IraVcls in Europe, says:â€" “In a railroad coach I had as a {el- low-passenger a Roumanian merchant who spoke English very Well and was fond of asking questions. When I found out he was from one of the Bal kun provinces l piticd him as a down- trodden citizen ofa semi-civilized State, for Western people cannot conceive that Servia and Bulgaria and Roumunia are anything more than a half-heathen mix- ture of Turk and Tartar. Ho surprised me, however, by very distinctly showing.r his sympathy for me. ‘Oh, from Can- ada, eh?’ he exclaimed. rupt country, eh? money, eh? buy ze votes. eh? from cifcrybody else, eh? of him in ze London Times. I takke ze London Times.’ This was pretty rich, coming.' from a Rnumanian, where Russian intrigue, Turkish corruption. Austrian vcnality and Grecian crooked- ness are supposed to have brought polit ical wickedness down to a fine art. Yet. at this moment it is the general Euro- pean opinion of Canadian politics." Eliza Cook, in her well-known poem, speaks of the flush of pride that mounts from cheek to brow of the Englishman “as he tells of his native earth”; but, in the case of a lucklcss Canadian, a blush of shame will sufl'use his counten- ance as he trys to give an evasive nuswor to a foraigner’s question as to where he was born. And there appears to be no escape from the slough of in- famy into which the Dominion is rapid- ly sinking. unless we smash Confedera- tion into fragments, or become an annex to the U. S , or make history repeat it- self and have ’37 over again. But, in the latter event, who's to lead us? Like Byron, we “ want a hero," and don't know where to find himâ€"like little Bo- pecp when looking for her woolly charge. If Sam H ughcs had remained a Grit in- stead of buying the Wurder and turning Tory, he'd have been the hero to help us turn the rascals outâ€"and then, perhaps, his head would have been considered worth something. But was! he has gone over the enemy. and we uul'orluA nato malconteuls can do nothing but practise patience, though it has long . ~ioce ceased to be a virtue. ‘A verr cor- Steal all ze public Get into Parliament by Elferybody steal I haf read Home Lessons. ber of them who succeed in passing th-e perioslicil exalnilmllmls. A teacher may be. ever >0 compete it and painstaking, DH. if the Invj iriiy of his pupils be namrally dull, and csprcially if they be the children of illiterate parents and have no older brothers or sisters able or wil-in-_r lo ln-lp them with their home Work, the blame will inevitably but u-ijustly fall upon him, and be will be estimated at lar below his bones! \vorth. Once more, for the fifth or sixth but not the lam time, we record our convic- tion that. there are lar mo many subjects of study imposed upon the children who attend the common sclmolS. and that Some of the least useful of them should be abandoned. What sense is there in Compelling a boy, nnder penalty of not “ passing," to drud.:e wearin over stud ics lor which he has no taste or aptitude, which are not. at all likely to be of any use to him in makiuga living, and whicn will certainly fade from his memory in a very low years after he lcavus school ? As Dr. Bil-chard remarks. experience has shown that mental toil is more exhaustive than physical, and we quite agree with him that. students (especially if children) should only \vork duringr daylight, and that their tasks should be shortened in order to enable them to keep up with their class without «loin;r ni_'ht Work. The present sclmol system is oppressive to both teachers and pupils, who, like the man in the lllyllloiogyâ€" Ixion, or whatever his name wasâ€"arc bound to a wheel and forced to revolve with it no matter how giddy it mnka them. The school law apparently sup- poses that all children are intellectually equal; but, to quote the words of Mr. Bumble, “if the law supposes that, the law is a assâ€"a idiot ; and the worst we wish the law is. that. he may have his eyes opened by experience.” Collision. The Misses Greene of this village are tlfc fortunate .posseSsors of a hundseime and spirited pony and a nice little light mad-cart; and last Saturday afternoon Miss Willie Grern went out for a drive, accompanied by her friend, Miss Heaslip. On that day Police Magistrate Deacon. Crown Attorney Devlin and No or three Lindsay lawyers came to the Falls on business connected with the prosecution of certain individuals suspected of men. keying with the voters' list previous to the recent by-clections; and about. four o‘clock they piled into the covered car- riage in which they came and Started for home. Just as- they left the Mc- Arthur House, which is only a few yards from the canal, Miss Grceuedrovc on to the swing bridge from the other end, and the legal luminary who was driving the carriage horses, and whose name is a synonym for sense and sobri- ety, says he did not see the cart. ap- proaching. Howevsr it happened, the two ” rigs " met near the middle of the bridge; there was a shout, a squeal or two and a crash, and the next moment. the highly excited pony reached the north end of the bridge, and would probably have run away had not two or three men promptly grabbed his bridle and stopped him. Neither of the young ladies was, hurt and the cart escaped with a bent axle and one or two trifling injuries, but so many spokes were torn out of one of the hind wheels of the carriage that it collapsed on the spot, and the load of legal luminaries had to get another vehicle to go home in. m Accidents. On Monday, the 18th inst, Mr. Thomas Archer, of this villagefiecoivcd a letter from his sister, Mrs. Brown of Rochester, N. Y., stating that his daugh- ter Hattie, who is employed in a drug store in that city, had, whilc stepping backwards behind the counter, fallen into the cellar, but she was not much hurt. On Friday or Saturday last, how- ever, Mr. Archer got a letter from his sister-in law, Mrs. Isaac Archer, also a resident. of Rochester, telling him that Miss Hattie was more seriously injured than was at first thought; and on Sun- day he and Mrs. Archer drore to Lind- Personals. .- Mr A.

SnuL tnry Inspector Kelly is paying official visits to everybody in the village, and where he finds a collar, yard or out~ buildings that require cleaning. he leaves a small but. peremptory slip of paper counnundin: their purification within a required number of days. There is to be no diphtheria. typhoid fever or any other disease in Fcnclon Falls during the coming summer if Mr. Kelly cm prevent it. N .wroarromâ€"Jl‘he ice was all out of the lakes and navigation commenced about a {bi-tuight ago; but we have not yet had a steamboat visit the Falls, though the Berlubocrrge‘ got as far as Greene & Ellis‘s wharf one day this week. There is a rumor that the Alice Ethel is to run regular trips this season to Feuclon Falls. and carry the mail beâ€" tween here and Bobcaygeon. but. we can- not ascertain whether there is any found- ation for the report or not. The fine new steamer being built at Lindsay for Dr. McCamus, of Bobcaygeou, is rapid- ly approaching completion and will soon be launched. DIVISION Commâ€"A Sittings oftho 2nd Division Court of Victoria was held in Dickson's hall on Monday last, Judge Dean presiding. There ware twelve cases in the docket, none ofany interest except to the parties to the suits; and as, three were settled without a hearing, one adjourned and two or three took but a very short time to dispose of, the Court was over by a little after 3 o'clock. The next. sittings will be held on Tues- day, July 5th, and the last, day of scrvv ice for defendants residing in the county will be Friday, June 2-ltli. Defendants residing outside of the county must be served live days earlier. “ MINES or Wnuxru."~Uudcr this heading Mr. Joseph McArthur has a four line advertisement in the Empire, offering rich deposits of gold, platinum, nickel, mica, phosphate and iron for sale. “ Mines of Wealth " have bcon’ talked and no doubt (ll-canned about. by several of our villagers for a long time past, and it. seems that Mr. :‘IcArHinr . has got ’em at last; but if we ownod l them, and wanted to sell, vrc'd insert a big advertisement with striking head- lincs in a dozen leading English, (/‘alllfl- diau and American publications, instead of a scarcely perceptible notice amongst N am thirlyfirst annual convention say in order to be with their daughter the business (:h.'I1Ic.'s in a party palwr of the Ontario Teachers Association,’ held in Toronto last week l)..
