The party sat down to rest and rejoice at the good luck. and ate heartily oi the profu- sion of sweets before them. The honey was not as limpid and colorless as that deposited in the glazed hive of the apiary; it was of a dark golden hue. the combs varying in shade according to their age. those nearest the top being lightest. It possessed a wild. aromatic flavor. which was exceedingly delicious to the palate. Each comb weighed. perhaps, half a pound. With his knife. Billy cere- inlly detached them from the hive, and we deposited them in the pulls and a large wooden bowl which he had brought for the purpose.

Our vessels were_overflowing, yet some remained. Tony now came up bearing severel broad sheets of birch bark. Pinning them to- gether, he improvised a rude vessel, in which were deposited a part of the unbroken combs. With such aid we succeeded in moving all the treasure, except a quantity of broken and dirty fragments. The ground and buahee around were smeared with the sweet dripping. a least for brainâ€"perhaps hie temptation and his ruin, it old Billy should carry out his idea 0! returning with his gun to look alter lm. “ We've got to curry of! the whole on’t now. boys." nid Billy; " the bean will be around belore we get back after lt.

The party crossed in the line indicated by the flitting insect. setting free others which also rose directly into the trees. We now began a minute scrutiny of every tree there- abouts. Alter an hour’s search the keen eye of the old bee-hunter detected a stream of the busy insects passing in and out high up among the branches of a great beech. Uioeer scrutiny disclosed a small. round aperture in the trunk, like a knot-hole. at least filty feet from the ground, through which a constant stream 0! bees was passing in and out. The trunk is smooth. and more than a foot in diameter. There is nothing to indicate that it is hoiloyor decayed. “ It's I big swath," “on the 01d man.

(Loud cheering.) But oftentimes these two public opinions not only diverge. but fly oif from one another at a tangent. and between the two the unfortunate colonial official runs great risk of coming to griefâ€"in fact. on such occasions he resembles one of those eques- trian acrobate we have admired in a circus. who display their agility by straddling over two horses at once.

It is a direct intimation upon the part of a large and most important section of the British people of the interests and sympathy they feel for the Canadian Dominion. (Continued cheering.) That will be the interpretation put upon it and rightly put upon it, in Canada; and I will frankly tell you there is nothing which gives our Canadian fellow-countrymen greater pleasure. which so gratifies their best affec- tions. than these intimationsâ€"which happily every year are becoming more frequentâ€"of the pride which England takes in their exr pending importanceâ€"of the confidence Eng- land reposes in their unfailing loyaltyâ€"of her recognition of them as living integral. portions of the empire, contributing not less ‘ effectually than any one of the three king. dome themselves to its prestige. majesty and i renown. (Great cheering) And. gentlemen.‘ in my opinion the visibly increasing liberality of sentiment with which their obligations as a great colouising Power have come to be regarded by the English people is a great improvement upon the self centered insular spirit which at one time regulated their relations with every community. even of their own blood, that lay outside the narrow seas. I do not speak so much of our policy. though that was open to criticism, as of the mental attitude we instinctively assumed towards them. John Bull is not naturally a sympathetic person. nor is his imagination always sufficiently lively to put himself in other people's places to define their feelings. or make allowance for their eurceptibilities. (Hear. hear.) His own nature is so robust. vigorous, and healthy that he can scarcely understand the feelings of ‘ unefemme incomprire.’ It is true this im- perviousness to sentimental impression has oiten proved his chief strength. and has left him to the unclouded exercise of his common sense. Still. in politics. especially where we are dealing with kindred and dependent com. munities. it is very dangerous to omit taking into consideration their sentimental ten- dencies as well as their material interests. The history of Ireland aflords many a sincere illustration of what I mean, and if this obligation had been better understood at the time the American re- volutionary war might have been avoided. (Cheere.)‘ Happily, however. a great change has taken place since those days. Increased facilities of intercourse, the multiplicity of enduring domestic ties which have been created and are maintained between thou- sands and thousands of families at home and their emigrant relations abroad. the proximi- ty superinduced between England and her most distant settlements by constantly accelerating means of transit. have unified and compacted the colonial system, and as a consequence, instead of concentrating his attention upon his home farm alone, John Bull is learning every day to appreciate more keenly the splendor and importance of his Imperial estates. (Loud cheers.) I confess that for one I regard this result with unmiti- gated pleasure. From early days I have always believed in our colonial future. and my ofiiciai experience has confirmed my convic- tion that if England will only be true to herself. and to those she has sent forth to establish the language, the laws. the liber- ties. the manfulness. the domestic peace of Britain over the world’s surface; if she will but countenance and encourage them in maintaining their birthright as her sons; if she will only treat them in an affectionate and sympathetic spirit; this famous empire of ours, which is constantly asserting itself with accumulating vigor in either hemisphere and under every sun, instead ct exhibiting any disreputive ten- dencies. will find the associated realms which compose it daily growing more dis- posed to recognize their unity. to take a pride in their common origin and antece- dents, to draw more closely together the bonds which bind them to each other and the mother country. to oppose in ca- lamity and danger to a more solid front to every common foe, and to preserve sacred and intact in every quarter of the globe. with an ever deepening conviction of their superi- ority, the principles of that well-balanced monarchial constitutioul which the past ex- patience and the current experiments of mankind continue to prove is best fitted to secure well ordered personal liberty and true Beiiest pepere contain eleborete reports at the banquet given et the Ulster Hail.

It says it may be quite true that Lord Dnflerin by his oratory delighted the sq new in the wigwam, and won the s ympathies oi the ladies at the Canadian eapityal; but it wants to know what he ever did for Ireland that he should have been feted and feasted when he returned to his estates. It says he has been the assailant of the tenant rights of the Irish people; and that while he was in the English House of Commons he was the worst.beeause Stripped of the superfluous language in which such articles of agreement are usually made out. the match 0! Dwyer and Elliott. in a nutshell, is as follows: The men agree to fight a fair stand up fight for the champion- ship of America and 81.000 aside, according to the new rules of the prize ring. on Thurs- day, May 8th, 1879, in Canada. The first de- posit of 8250 aside is now in the hands 0! Mr. Frank Queen, who is acting as temporary stakeholder, and the other deposits will also be made at the Clipper ofiice. The second is due on Thursday, January 6th. and will be of $250 aside, and the third and last, 018500 aside, will be posted on Tuesday, April 15th. At the time of the second deposit the final stakeholder will be named. and at the last deposit Elliott must advise his op- ponent of the locality of the fighting ground. The men are required to be in the ring be- tween the hours oi ten a. m. and two p. m , or the one absent will forfeit the money up. In case of magisterlal interlerence before the releree is agreed uponâ€"and the selection at that important official will take place at the ringsideâ€"the stakeholder is empowered to name the next place oi meeting, which must be on the same day or within the same week. Should the reieree be chosen and interrupo tion than occur, that ofiieiai has the power of naming the next place at meeting. - _ Boise of Commons he was the worst,beosuse the ablest. o! the enemies of the tenent- tumors of Ulster end Irelend. But it econses him of something much worse then this, for it says that by an ingenious system of rent receiving, he hes compelled the tenants who in the famine yeers were unable to psy their rents. to dlsoherge the old erreersâ€"erreers which fell due between 1847 end 1856. heving been sued for and recovered. For these ressons it thinks that, however much en- thusiasm Lord Duflerin's fellow-lendiords msy get up. end however many banuets they any give him,the tensnt-isrmers on his estates here little to be thenklnl for. “ Don“: be alarmed. Jim ; you aha“ hue n fight from me." When in the private room the first stum- bling block was the place of fighting. Objec- tions were made to many localities named, and at last reasons were given why the battle should not come OH on United States soil. Though some locality West or South was the choice of one of the men, it was at last mutually agreed that Canada should be the place and the naming of the ground be lelt with Elliott, as the latter has serious objec. tions to some portions of that territory. Then came the time of fighting, and as each wanted the weather to be of a pleasant character this point was not very diffi- cult to adjust. Next the ,manner of the deposits and the appointment of a final stakeholder were' discussed, when at last, with few additional but minor matters being agreed upon, the men signed their names to the articles. Though the dis- cussions were of an earnest nature there was nothing unpleasant said by the men, though an occasional remark was sufficient to show what their ieelings were. During an inter- change of opinions regarding one of the pro- positions submitted Elliott felt that unless it was then settled the whole aflair would tell through, saying to D_wyer : _ A “lint ibi; to be. a fight, John, 3nd I don't want it to 1311 through.” The later inatgntly goturned : “ The sporting fraternity had a genuine sensation yesterday, as the ri al heavy- weights, John J. Dwyer and James Elliott. both oi Brooklyn. were matched to fight tor the championship of America and 61,000 a- side. The men, together with particular iriends and interesth acquaintances, assem- bled at the Clipper ofiioe at one o'clock, making a gathering that reminded a few 01 those pre- sent 0! the crowds that came together in the arrangement of important matches of a like nature in the years gone by.

In one respect the crowd was disap- pointed. as Beyer and Elliott, with one or two iriends each, were taken into another room and the door locked. Here the conler~ ence lasted nearly two hours before anything was satisfactorily settled. When Dwyer and Elliott first met and exchanged a word 0r two about commonplace matters, Dwyer said, looking at the crowd :â€" “ Put you in mind of old times, don’t it Jim 2" “ Yes, indeed. it does," returned Elliott, rubbing his hands together.

Oi the great influence exercised by the body in its several states and conditions over the mind we need no stronger prooi than is afforded by the [phenomena oi dreams. the cause oi which may be common- ly traced to some innctionsl derangement or other. Thus irom indigestion comes night- mare. and all who have had anything to do with children, know inll well that disturbing dreams are common indications oi disorder of the bowels and stomach ; so organic diseases, such as that of the heart or anything that causes oppression at the chest, will frequently give rise to visions oi a distressing character. When children are much given to dreaming they are generally troubled with worms orsome visceral obstruction which a pnrgative will oiten relieve. When dreaming is the reenlt oi great mental labor or excitement during the day. a temporary relaxation with more physical exertion and the use oi the shower. bath would eiiord reliei. with the use oi such means as will divert the thoughts and brace or energies the system. A recent painiul case illustrates the danger of hurrying to catch a train. The peril is very considerable, and it boasts most men in these busy times. It is not perhaps a matter oi social concern. but it is one in which every member of the community has a personal in- terest. The high pressure and speed at which we live, and the impetuous haste of business in these days oi extreme utilitarian- ism, do not allow any exemption from the com- mon rush. Even the staid and deliberate elusâ€" es are aflected by the rapid movement around them, and must needs hurry to keep their place. No inertia can check the torrent, and the stoutest resolve to move slowly is power- less to stem the flood. It remains to adapt the conduct to the inexorable conditions. There is only one remedy for the evil oi hurry, and a single protection against its. consequencesâ€"that is orderly method. Never in the history 0! intellectual and commercial progress was the need of order more urgent. It is not the amount of work accomplished that exhausts the strength and leads to a break. down ;it is the effort made. and the worry of making it. that overtax the energy of control and the strength of action. Perhaps one 0! the most prolific causes oi collapse in recent times has been the lack of training. This is not sufficiently recognized. In the old days of “ apprenticeship” and slowly built-up qualifications for work, youths were specially trained for their business in life, and the difliculties oi the career came upon then gradually. Now one hall oi the laborers in any department of industry have entered it in some sudden way, and industry has be- come a general melee, in which those who can by eflort accomplish the greater results are counted successiul. The effortless, though not always the least capable. are vanquished. What takes place in regard to work finds its parallel in, and is to a great extent the cause oi, the hurry and worry oi the busy world as awhoie. Everything and everybody presses iorward at high speed. and success means outrunning competitors. The maxim oi safetyâ€"to avoid physical hurry and mental hurry alike-is. prepare, deliberate; in a word, adopt an orderly method. The man with a weak heart who endangers his life by hurrying to catch a train, unless under altogether exceptional circumstances. is probably the victim oi a deiect in early training, which leaves him at the mercy oi impulse without order; or he is striving to fill a place in His for which his chiei'quslification has been the -iaculty of accomplishing by eflort more than can be achieved naturally by steady labor. Some persons are ever hurrying alter their engage- ments; others are goaded onward by the pressure behind them; but however the “ hurry" is produced, it is iuli oi peril to happiness oi mind and health oi body. and in the end, by exhaustion. it not prematurely by accident, it killr.-Lancct.

It seems that Davis called on Smith several times. and both talked over the diflerent models from which the highest rate 0! speed could be ob tained, Davis arguing in lover of concentric semi-circles, and holding that a boat should be shaped alter a cytindroid. beginning at midships. at the widest part. and run- ning to nothing. both fore and alt. With such a model. it is claimed that the re- sistance oi the water at ikes the sides of the boat at the same time. with no drag o! the water as it leaves it. The lines model- ied alter concentric semicircles are as near perfect as can be made. Another point. which it is claimed is greatly in later of his boat, is that due care was taken that the boat should sit as near the surface as. ossiblo. where the least retietance would e met. Smith claims the deeper a boat lies. the denser the water, and that there is a decided advantage in any boat that carries its occu- pant weii up. An application has been made at Washington (or a patent on this model. Mr. Smith thinks Davis' sculls are agreat improvement over those ordinarily in use, ae- they do away with cramping the wrist. and go tar towards preventing the oar from turn- ing while in the water. Mr. Davis has had many conversations with Mr, Smith. and considers him one of the progressive boat builders.â€"Bosion Herald. Dnnuma.â€"Dr93mipg in thg occppptioq pl The Hunger. ol flurry.
