The new portable tower which was built in connection with an Erie elevator last year has just been tried at Buffalo and pronounced a complete success. It will make a decided revolution in the unloading of cargoes of grain through the country,“ by it a cargo can be elevated in just about half the time now required. The portable tower is an exact duplicate in every respect} of the stationary or regular elevator tower.‘ excepting that it is built entirely separate from the elevator. and so arranged that it can be moved about 30 feet one way or the other, in order toelevate from both hatches of a boat at the same time. The elevating capacity of the Erie elevator, to which the new machine has been attached. is about 6.000 bushels per hour. and the cargoes of both the propeller Clarion and the schooner Annie Sherwood were elevated at the rate of 10.000 bushels per hour. both legs being need. in spite of the foot that one or two stops were necessary to fix a portion of the paratue that was not correctly arranged at first. It in thought that when every- thing in in good running order the elevating capacity vull be doubled.

Rev. Allan Simpson. pastor of the Poplar Grove Presbyterian Church, Halifax, N. 8., referred in terms of condemnation in a recent sermon to the taxes on breadstufls. The fact having been made the subject of a paragraph in the Recorder, Mr. Simpson on the following Sunday spoke of it. and ex- plained that he had considered the question irrespective of party politics. He said : “ I am neither afraid nor ashamed of the sentiments to which 1 gave expression last Sabbath evening. I believe them and intend to hold by them till I am convinced they are incorrect ; but I don't want that paper or any other to give them a political twist. When I was contending {or free trade in breadstufl's. or rather for as little. interferenceas possible in their transporta- tion from place to place. I wasnot speaking in the interests of any party, as I was not speaking against the policy of any party. And my reason for referring to the matter now is that I was reported as speaking in favor of the late Administration. and against the policy of the present Administration. I was doing nothing of the kind. In this matter both Administra- tions are alike to me. I was not thinking consciously of either. I was simply pre- senting the Bible view of the subject."

Even summer the question of what is the best description of dress for women to wear comes up. It is never settled. Why ? Because the ladies are in thehands of their dressmakers, and they follow foreign modes, and so from year to year fashions change, but they improve- little. Still there has been a vast improvement in costumes for some years t. in spite of a few extravaganciee. In al uding to prospec- tive radical changes. carrying us away back to the days of hoo â€"may their advent be ‘long post nedlâ€" r. Wm. Morris, author ‘of “ The arthly Paradise," well remarked that the first and greatest necessity of rational and beautiful costume on the part of ladies was that they should exercise liberty of choice; so he begged them to battle stoutly for it, or they would tumble into exploded follies again. Their only chance of keeping that liberty was by resisting the imposition on costume of unnatural monstrosities. Garments should veil the human form. and neither caricature nor obliterate its lines. The body should be so draped as to express endless beauty of motion. This should be especially borne in mind. because fashionable milliners had chiefl one endin View. via. how to hide and egrade the human body in the mostexpensive manner. they looking upon ladies ‘as 1' scafl'olds " -_-" _- _, ugon which to hen e. bundle of cheep rage. w ieh could be eel deer under the neme of dreee.

The importation of tortoises into England is carried out under circumstances 0! great cruelty ; and a few months ago much indignation was excited by the discovery at the docks of some oasks of tortoises lying unclaimed. many of the unfortunate crea- tures being dead. There were exported from Mogador in 1881 thirteen barrels, containing about 3,000 tortoises. These wretched animals. says the consul at that place, ere closely packed in barrels sud sent without any food on a voyage of about three weeks' duration. Many of them frequently die on the voyage, end should a barrel become offensive its contents are thrown overboard at the shipper’s risk and expense. It is. he adds. e. very unsatisfac- tory trade, being small. incapeble of large development. involvingan immense smount of cruelty to numbers of helpless and harm- less animals and yielding no substantial profit. The greater portion of the delay in western transportation (ea s a corres- pondent) had been at Hulloo , Minnesota, where the steamer had come alongside the train, and throwing out a plank taken in her load of passengers. and then makin her way across the submerged flats h reached the Red River, down which she had brought them to the C.
