A street car brought us to the famous inclined railwavy, and the mind of the excursionists begins to be decply imâ€" pressed with the wild and terribly grand mountains interspersed with trees all standing forth as if in bold defiance to man and his works.

As a compliment, we suppose to the Canadians in the farty, " Rale Brittannia " was struck up followed by "God Save the King," and the applause was hearty, our Jackson friends joining in with us. some other guests looked a little bewilâ€" dered that a party supposed to be a‘l natives, should * demonstrate _ so warmly to foreign airs. Long may brotherly feeling exist between the two great countries whose foreign policy is practically alike, whose fleets and whose commerce are accomplishâ€" ing the one great end of making the English language international in character. For over 100 miles between Atlanta and Chattanooga did not see a field of tallwheat, rye, clover or timothy, but did see 3 sheep the first and only ones seen since crossing the river at Chatâ€" tanooga. Neither did we in all that dlistance see a waggon load of stone to bother the little plough. This morning we were conscious of a a longing desire for the Toronto Globe. The papers here are not a substitute. We would have been tolerably satisâ€" fied with the Mail ard Empire or even with the World in the absence of the (Globe. However we hbave had the orchestra at work again, and get the best of music from Mrs. F. Cowham, Jr., and others. Mr. MceWilliams, of Owen Sound has been getting his hand read this morning and by so doing has got into trouble beâ€" cause the lady reader told him he was to be married twice, the second‘ wife to be a lady of great educational attainments, of cultare and refinement, and possessed of great wealth. What is troubling Mac now is how to proâ€" mote a scheme by which he could take stock in the second wife first ! but this is barder to accomplish than promoting cement schemes.

It now became evident we were reaching a more northern latitude. The negro race, though not quite so numerous, have still to be counted with yet. We have bid goodâ€"bye to the mule. and the little plough,. and agricultural pursuits are more vigorously pushed with a team and modern plough. One farm was pointed out to us as the home of the Kentucky blue grass.

Mr. Biue, the then Superintendent of the Bureau of Mines, on a recent visit to Durham was ot the opinion there was oil in the district, but whether in pockets or paying quantiâ€" ties did not hazard an opinion. â€" Here are located the numerous mills and works of the Standard Oil company.

A similar trust is in the United States and they control the supply of raw cane sugar into Canada and the United States reâ€" spectively, Several beet sugar factories are being constructed in Ontamio at present and our proyince is now going through the same experience Michigan did for the past 3 or 4 years. When the agitation started there municipal bonâ€" uses were asked and it was boldly asâ€" serted the businees could never pass inâ€" to the hands of the trusts, the beet sugar district being so scattered that no trust could ever expect to control their output,. _ However it has been demonâ€" strated that the beet sufiar belt is much smaller than anticipated, only certain | districts in 7 or 8 States being suitable. If the trust believes the supply of cane sugar will not in the future meet the _ demand, and that beet sugar is required to supply the market and keep their mills rtnouning it puts a‘different conâ€" struction on it from what occurred to the mind of the writer, But if, asseems | likely, they act with a view of curbing or nipping out the spirit of competition â€"for trust methods will nsuallr be aâ€" dopted where such is possibleâ€"then the whole business may pass into their hands. Overtures are now being made by the American Sugar Trust for the purchase of a controlling interest in the stock of six of the best sugar companies in the Saginaw yalley. Let us in Canaâ€" da take a lesson : let stockholders here think the matter oyer seriously and deâ€" cide on the wisest course to pursue, for in all probability overtures may come to them from the Canadian Sugar Trust Company of a similar nature.
