Oh. yes, in the closing moments of our life, we must have a Christ to call upon. If Ja- cob’s sons had gone up toward Egypt: and had gone with the very finest. equip- age. and had not taken Benjamin along with them. and to the question they should have been obliged to answer: "Sir, we didn't bring him, as father could not let him go. \Ve didn’t want; to be bothered with hit 1,” a voice from within would have said: “Go away from us.

A dcspatch from Hamilton sayszâ€"A fatal accident occurred on the Toron- to. Hamilton Buffalo Railway at the the western city limits about 5.30 on Wednesday evening, the unfortunate victims being Engineer James Facer and Fireman George Johnson, both of Waterford. The passenger train going west, which is due to leave the Hun- ter street station a few minutes after 5 o'clock, accidentally ran into an open switch; at the " Y ” just beyond Garth street, the fireman, it. is supposed, not observing the, signal, which was on his side, and consequently not knowing that the switch was open. The en- glue. and tender and baggage car jump- ed thc rails, the hind wheels of the latter going on the siding, and in the mix-nip the engine and tender ware shoved into the ditch. both badly dam- aged. Fortunately not more than two persons were hurt in_ the. accident, but. the victims were terribly in jurcd, Fire- man Johnson especially suffcring an aw: ful death. His body was dug out from beneath the cnginc, and it was ovid- enl. that; he had been killed almost tn- stantly. The injector pipe had pone.- trated the poor fcllow's body, and 'while death was mercifully relievnig 'him of his agony hot steam from the pipe was boring into his intestines. He left a widow and family. Engineer Facer was thrown about 20 or 30 feet. onthe tics. and thc back of his head was smashed.

J AN IZARIES. he Sultan's Strange Army and Its Ills- Iorlc Place. The J anizaries are unique in the his- tory of the world. Nothing like them has ever been known in the constitution of any state. \Ve think of \hcm some- how in association with the Mamelukes ' of Egypl. but though there were some points in common between them. they . differed widely in their character and I aim. The Mameiukes, though origin- ally aracc of slaves, foundeda sovereign dynasty in Egypt, but the Janizaries, even at the height of their power. never ceased to be soldiers, and they maintained throughout. all their history the proofs and symbols of their lowly . origin. They made and unmade sover- eigns, but they never aspired to the high positions of state, and were con- tent to fill their original posts. Not one of their number ever occupied the throne of Turkey, and the whole corps acted ostenstbly only as its uardians. They formed the first stunt ing army of which we have any record; but they were appotntedlnot as the defend- ers of the national interests, but. sim- ply as the executors of the personal designs of the Sultan. The name by which they were best known and which inspired most. awe was Xenitzer, Signi- fying in Turkish the new army, be- cause it suwrseded, as a perpetual and consolidated force, the. old troops which were raised only in cmergemnes and scattered when war was over.
