The “ Sick Man.” In 1853 the Czar Nicholas of Russia, in a conversation with the English am- bassador regarding the Turkish Empire, likened it to a “sick man,” and the phrase, taking the public fancy, has been in use ever since. Just now the sick man is very sick indeed, and the dismemberment of the Empire, which, forty years ago, the Czar was so anxious dominions upon his Christian subjects ; and the opinion that the “ unspeakab]e Turk,” as a power, is a disgrace to civilization, is fast gaining ground in England, where the masses of the people have been wrought to a state of burning indignation by the tales of horrible cruelty and outrage that have come to their ears. The Turkish Empire would have been obliterated long ago but for the fact that it owns Constantinople and the adjacent straits and territory; and as the possession of these by England or either of the great European nations - would give it too much of a prepondep- ance over the others and disturb what is Fancy Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Prints, Ginghams, Cottons, called‘ the “balance of power,” they Flannelettes, \Vaterproof Cloaks, Umbrellas, Bed-spreads, :3:.fyafijétiflhcgsffinkefifl'i};8,:ch Ladies’ and Childrens’ Vests, Babies’ Knitted Woollen Caps, known consequences of the war that Tom O’Shanters, Cashmere Hose, Ladies and Children’s Fancy would almost inevitably result; if he Knitting and Fingering Yarn, Ladies’ Belt Buckles, Fancy were pel'mltted‘ to die.

At the Lord McArthur’s Block, ' Mayor’s dinner in the city of London Fenelon Falls. on the 9th of November Lord Salisbury made a speech which so alarmed the Sultan of Turkey that he took the ex- traordinary step of writing personally to the British Premier, assuring him - that he (the Sultan) was doing his best In 0 to keep prder and prevent outrages in 2,6 t S his Dominions, and asking him to take steps to counteract the efi‘ect of his I W fold speech.

When exposure became imminent he fled to the Argentine Republic with his plun- der, a considerable portion of which he spent in bribes in the hope of securing safety, but he was extradited, tried, found guilty and, the other day, sen- tenced to fourteen years’ imprisonment. It will he a dreadful punishment to a man used to every luxury that money can give; but, in view of the wide- spread misery that he has caused, it is to be regretted that the death penalty for his crime has been abolished. The Toronto Telegram thinks that “after all is said and done, the chances are that Balfour was not wilfully dishonest, but had that sanguine, speculative tem- perament which led him to risk other people's money on the fulfilment of his own high hopes”; and the news sar- castically remarks that a paper that holds that view probably has persons with the sanguine speculative tempora- ment amongst friends of its own. The Hyams Twins Acquitted. The second trial of the twin brothers Harry P. Hyams and Dallas T. Hymns for the alleged murder of Willie C. Wells in January, 1893, terminated on Saturday last in Toronto, and the jury. after only half an hour’s deliberation, brought in a verdict of “ not guilty,” which almost everybody in the court room expected, as Judge Ferguson's summing up was strongly in iavor cf the prisoners. The case has been a remarkable one in many ways, and, while the great majority of the facts brought out in evidence seemed incon- sistent with the innocence of the prison- ers, it is quite certain that if, from any cause, Martha Wells had, after the death of her brother, refused to marry Harry Hyams, or to lend him any por- tion of the insurance money, he could not have touched a dollar of it, as the policy was made out in her favor. The learned judge evidently believed in the possibility of Willie Wells’ death havâ€" ing been accidental, and told the jury to give due weight to the fact that the accident might have suggested to Harry Hyams the financial advantage to be gained by marrying Martha Wells, and thus coming in for the insurance money. As soon as the verdict had been for- mally recorded the two men were dis- charged, but were at once re-arrcstcd on a charge of conspiracy to defraud the insurance companies and murder Mar- the Wells Hyams. The first trial, which took place about six months ago, lasted a fortnight and resulted in the disagree- ment of the jury, eleven being in favor of acquittal and the twelfth refusing to agree with them. It is said that the two trials will cost the Government and the defence about 860,000 respectively. --â€"â€"-.--â€"â€".-.â€"â€"_w-_., ___ _,_ Fire. On Sunday night Alr.

(Correspmtdcnce of the Gazette.) The snow came in good time. The Sabbath school tea was a success, and the evening a very pleasant and enjoy- able one for everybody that attended, and the receipts amounted to 829. A social that is to be held on Wednesday evening will probably swell the amount to about $40. The speaking, singing, eating and drinking were all good. The above amount will surely bring about some great change in the Sabbath school. Last Wednesday evening, the 27th, Miss Annie Worslcy gave a birthday party, and between forty and fifty of her young friends gathered at her home, and a very pleasant time was spent in games of various kinds of a harmless nature. The hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Worsley elicited the good will of all who were present. I might add that a beautiful quilt was quilted that after- noon. North Ontario is no doubt the centre of'attracticn at present. The electors should strive, not only in North Ontario, but everywhere, to elect legislators who will handle the funds of the country as carefully as they would their own. In it done?
