The object is evi dept. It is designed to embarass the Hominion Government in its negotiations authorities. - latter will be encouraged by the tone of the 'ipposition prees to stand out for com- smercial union, and the Globe and Advertiser | make a treaty be¢ause he did not really want reciprocity,a groundless charge, which they have made many times before. It is lamentable that at a crisis, which the Glole has lately shown to be dangerous, these party tricks should be played, The Amer. icans should encounter at the present crisis sunited people, as they have done before when patriotic sentiments governed Oppo. sition as well as Government, We are confident that in spite of the Globe and Advertiser it will be so now. Mr. J. D. Edgar's dodges may receive countenance in theve journals, but they will not be endorsed ky-the people of Ontario of either party. THE COLONIAL EXHIBITION. Sir Charles Tupper's report upon the Co- lonisl Exhibition, was presented to Parlia- ment on Monday, and is a review of the en: tire business of the Canadian department from the opening of the show to its close. The report speaks. highly of the Canadian exhibits, and intimates that asa result of the display there has been a brisk demand js find- ing markets in Great Britain, Regarding fruit, the secretary of the Electoral Horti- cultural Society makes a comprehensive report. Canadian apples, he says, arc in the main remarkable for their high colour and flavour ; but some qualities, notably Cox's orange pippin, are inferior One of English growth. Canadian honey was very much in favour, seeing that it is whiter and cleaner than English honey. Four English houses wanted to buy the Canadian honéy exhibit. The total cost to Canada of her share in the show was $120,- 457. Of this sum $8,500 went in wages to caretakers, and $14,000 in freights. DEATH OF MR. MOFFAT, ™.P. A very painful feeling was occasioned in the .Commons at Ottawa, on the arrival of the report of the sudden death at Teeswa- ter, Ont., of Mr. Moffat, member for igor tigouche. Mr. Sioffat had been hia usual good health since the House oouel On Friday night he was one of a party going west, and during his trip to Toronto he entertained his fellow members and travelers with stories, for the relation of which he was noted, His journey was for the purpose of paying an annual visit to his brother, Mr. Moffat was but 43 years | of age., He leaves behind him a wife and several children. He entered Parliament in 1832, having defeated Mr. Haddow, the former member for Restigouche, I-. i887 be was again elected, his oppouunta being Mesars. Haddow and McAllister, _have_come ont squarely for_ commercial | herd together in the most wretched, filthy, least protected parts of the city. The b"*epoiied child.of fortune," wishes to show that he is wealthier than his neighbors, and therefore chooses his place of habita- tion where he can display his wealth with the greatest effect. So it is with every class, and each has distinctive place of re- sort. That part of Totonto known as St. John's ward--' the ward," or " the noble ward," may be said to be the paradise of-----what?

The poorest and most disreputable part of it (the ward) is traversed--by-Terauiay; Elizabeth, Atico, Louisa, Edward, York, University and Agnes strects, with the stretch of lanes and allevways between them. Into this network of slums comes and goes a fluctu ating population of pauperism, the enfans« perdus of the city, those broken down by poverty, vice, misfortune and drink. It would be dangerous for a person to pass along the more deserted, portions of these streets, after dark, unaccompanied by either a policeman ora friend. As night comes on, these thoroughfares become the looking creatures of both sexes. They stand on the sidewalks, cracking jokes, or relating their exploits, whistling, dancing, and making the night hideous with their profanity. At the approach of a police- man, they scatter in double quick time, and hide in some dark alleyway, till he gone past, when they re-assemble.

I could never discover what occult power it is thet draws people to a railway morning, at noon, or at night, and you will find the same, or similar, crowds of loungers, sauntering up and down the platform, or sprawling on the seats in the waiting-rooms. The Union Station in Toronto is the resort of dozens of loun- gera, who seem not to know how to kill time, rast gxovuGcu. Last night I walked down to see what was going on,--it is a favorite place with reporters, at about ten o'clock. As I got there a train waa just pulling in from the east, and as the great engine come slowly on, and at length stopped, the loungers crowded round the ends of the coaches, some to meet expec- tel friends, ani othera, merely to ace how many got out, Many a bitter parting, many a happy meeting, many tears and many warm hand-shakings has the Union Station been the scene of. That is the place to study people, from the tramp who rides in astride of the draw-heads of a freight, to the gentleman who occupies a section in the hindmost Pullman. Like some great fort, stored with exhaustless supplies, from which go out hourly attacks on the unlocked resources_of a great coun- try, and return in triumph, loaded with spoil for the enriching of the nations, is the Union Station and its surroundings. There one can see people from every cline beneath the heavens, Canadians and our cousins from across the border, predomin. ating; the sturdy native of Norway, and of Sweden ; men from sunny Spain and Italy, from historic Greece, from little sea-girt Denmark ; phlegmatic Germans, wacious Frenchman, dark Gypsies, and Jews ; burly Paddies, fresh ETC., | these playthings of fortune }-ebilds "Of haunté of crowds of fll-dressed, villainous- |' ion, Go there when you wish, in the | AonEM OF PEOPLE KILLED aup.MAt SEVERAL TOWNS ENTIRELY DEMOLISHED | IMMENSE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY AND LIVE "STOCK --UAILSTONES THIRTEEN TNeHES IS CLIBCT MFERENCE, Fort Smith, Ark., April 23,--A Spec ial | trom Clarksville, Ark., says a terrible oye lone passed over this county from west to east, from tue to three miles wide, at seven o'clock yesterday morning, passing | north of Clarksville and Going fearfal | damage. the following persons were kil! ed :--Mrs. M.
