John 81agg,M.P.for Man- chester, said he was authorized to inform the Cctnmissioners, on behalf of the Man- chester Chamber of Commerce, that unless the treaty were arranged so as to provide ‘ for a reasonable prospect of business, the Chamber would prefer to allow the nego-‘ tiations to collapse. Mr. Slagg added that the pronosed treaty was becoming increas- ingl unpoiular in England in consequence o! t e pro ibitive turn the French pro- posals were taking. He found from inquiry that the cost of production was almost equal in France and England. and any increase of duty would lead to the extino4 tion of the English cotton trade with France.

Help. the Girls. ". (homes! em.) It is a misfortune for some girls to have been reared “ respectebly.” The desire to dress and to avoid remunerative employ- ment follows them, if overtaken by financial disaster, and they wear their lives away in meaning over misfortune when they should be putting their shoulders to the wheel. They fret and sigh and know not « what to do, for they are ebarred from their early associations by their impecuniosity, and they cannot muster the courage to face the world in their so‘rr’wow. They spend their lives in dark seclusion, knowing few and, not known by many. They become an incumbrance to themselves, and they frown at'a fate which can only be remedied by their own. resolution and energy. They may be worthy, but worth rises slowly when depressed by poverty. They may be good, but their goodness )3 hidden under a busheltwhen, it is hidden in the darkness of despair. Employment for respectable girls is scarce. But few places wil take them as clerks, and the openings in telegraph and other offices are not many. School teaching is about the‘ only recourse, and so the girls who are reared respectably are between the two extremesâ€"happy competency and industrious labor. There is no class jot girls to be more pitied than 'rls who have been reared respectably but who have been, obliged to abandon their old haunts and their old customs and take to the new life consequent on their poverty. The men, or the association, that can devise means for the employment of such girls will deserve well of the world. ‘ We have charitable associations without number for servant girls and orphans. but girls who have been reared respectably attract little attention, no matter lr'ow' much they suffer by their surroundings. No one feels the shaft of poverty more than they do. They are not accustomed to it. Their early lives were in a diflerent channel. Poverty ,to them is additionaliy cruel because unexpected. They probably had no hand in their own misfortunes, but they _are the principal sufierers. They have 1, ,An____ -al.--.. tract to marry egreperty, but the man. including hiwfb mouth.

They may be willing to work. but they do not know what to work at. or how to get suitable employment. There are no institution help them, and so they live on,pining t lives away, growing old'in idleness an sorrow, and sinking down the ty ica maids of life, whose misfortune as to have been reared unfit to make own way in the world, and not able to art the style to which they may have con accustomed. But there should be a remedy for all this. There should be some means of assisting such girls, just as there is of assisting those who are perhaps less deserving. We see no reason why some society should not exist to help girls who have been reared respectably to get situa- tions as clerks. as societies exist to provide 1 for the destitute and oiteu for the unfortu- nate. We should guard virtue by enabling i it to struggle against temptation. as well as gn‘illeavor to raise it when it stumbles and a s. ‘ l A gallant (Nature of a. tram by a. lady is reported from heerneen.

It gathered together with a depth of ‘120 feetâ€"the average depth of Lake Erieâ€"a lake would be formed some- what larger than that lake. which is 240 miles in length by from 30 to 60 broad. If the deficiency over the Province at large be estimated at four inches for July and August, the deficiency in the Provinoeot Ontario from Lake Nipissing southward would equal a lake 40 miles long, 25 miles wide. and 20 feet deep. The limits of the drought are not precisely known, but the area may be roughl described as an ilnrnense oval exten ing from_ ()entral Texas in the southwest to a little beyond Montreal in the northeast, and from Kansas and Iowa to Georgia on anorth- west and southeast line. This includesa territory 1,600 miles long by over 900 miles wide, embracing nearly 1,500,000 square milesâ€"eight times as large as France, or thirteen times as large as Great Britain and Ireland. In Georgia, and also in Virginia and other central parts of this area. the drought was intense for between three and four months, while generally else- where it was only in July.

Dryer months have been known before. August, 1876, was warmer than the past August, and no rain whatever fell, but the drought was by no- means so extended as this season nor of so great duration. The summer of 1868 was botherâ€"except in Septemberâ€"and uly in Hamilton averaged 80° in the shade, with a maximum of 106.3 ° , or higher than it has been known in either New Orleans or Calcutta, but the rainfall of J une, July and August was quite equal to that of the same months this year, and the drought was preceded by a May in which at Toronto 7.67 inches of rain fell. and followed by a September with 4.24 inches. This year September has only been exceeded in dryness by April and August. Neither the summer, which com- menced about May 3rd, nor the drought has yet ended in Ontario, though in Ohio, Kentucky and the Western States heavy rains have fallen. 0f previous years in this century 1854 is most remarkable for widely extended and prolonged drought. but the rainfall was greater than in this summer. The year 1819 was excessively dry over a limited area, and in fact every few years there have been parts of the continent more or less sfiected by a damaging lack of rain. An extended drought, such as has been ex; perienced this summer, may not be kncwn again on this continent for a century. THE TERRIBLE DROUGHT. On the very day after that on which they announced to the world the death of Presi- dent Garfield, the New York papers an- nounced to all whom it might concern pre- cisely what kind of mourning Mrs. Garfield, Miss Mollie Garfield, Mrs. Rockwell and Miss Rockwell were going to wear. One would have thought that poor Mrs. Gar- field at least might have been allowed to suit herself in the matter of mourning with- out her choice of style and material being trumpeted abroad to the public. Is there nothing that the great American papers will allow prominent personages to do in private \ and to keep to themselves? Talk of “ the ‘fierce li ht that beats upon a throne.” but it is not ing to the ardentblaze of notoriety in which the great democracy condemns its leaders to livg.
