Paris green, although not a food, unless it will be not down as such for the Colora- do beetle, has also been analyzed. Of the 60 samples examined 80 were found adul. tented, with areinious acid and sulphate of baryta. There in no objection to the first, but the baryta is a moat dishonest adulteration. It is a very heavy sub- stance and absolutely inert. As we pur- pose directing the attention of agricultu- ralists to the great dangers attendant upon the use of Paris green on n future occasion we will only remark at present that it should be entirely discarded as an insect poison for two reasons. First on account of its ready solubility in the alkalies, pot. nsh and soda, which are found in more or less abundance in all soils nudin ammonia, which is always formed during the decom- position of barnyard manute, it will grad- ually poison streams and ponds which re- ceive the drainage of potato fields on which this poison has been distributed. In the second place, Paris green in solution, or even when minutely divided will be taken up by the roots of plants, especially coarse vegetables, such as the carrot. mongol wurzol. turnip, he.; and thereby prove most injurious to man and beast. These effects though slow in their peratioa, are nevertheless sure, and it is therefore most denirulnle that less dclcter.ottg agents than uni-nice! poisons should be used for the dos- truetiou of insects on the farm and in the garden. _ Attrntiun is once mum calla} to the importance of pump: action in regard to the nifuirs of the T crunlu, Grey and Bruce Railway. The Management have brought thv fact of the case prominently forward, and have shown that the road must he prvviGul with funds for necessary repairs nnd replaesment of material if it is to Mon. tinuc running nt all, and that it it is to hold its own in fair competition Withothcrs the gauge must be altered to conform to the now national system of 4 ft. 81. The farmers and producers of Grey and Bruce cannot, it must be presumed, mean to let the road "slide." To do so would he, in, deed, suicidal. Kn can they fail to un. derstand how the value of their cattle and grain must be enhanced by the placing of distant lending markets within their reach by enabling freight to be transported with. out change of cars. The matter is not one for arguments, but of plain facts. The other schemes of the country hive the ben. efit of these markets on better and more a :nvenient conditions than the T.

It will be seen by a reference to the PnLlie Accounts that a large swing has been denied during the last tisenl yen, showing that the Government in faithfully carrying out those principle! of economy Which the Reform Petty hove alweye ad, The Budget Speech was made Friday afternoon, 22nd inst. The tone of the Speech, though depleting the depressed state of trade, he., during the past two or three you-s, was buoyant and hopeful of the future, uni went far to show that the state of “kin into which the Trenmry had been brought by the recklessness of the Sir J. A. Moedonsld Mministmtior, was fast disappearing. Undertakings im." posed upon the Government by the late Administration had all been met and carried oat without any farther burdens being placed npon the shoulders of the people of the country, and now by judicious man- agement all legitimate works could be fair- 11y carried on. Tho Finance Minister in his Speech reviewed the Financial history of Canada since Confederation, deducing therefrom two facts, namely: That the resources of the country were at the time of Confederation ample to carry on all that was then undertaken, and perhaps even to engage in considerable enterprise, but that unfortunately too much was attempt- ed, thus seriously imperilling the existence of our young Dominion. Starting with 1867, the year of Confederation, he Hhewed that from that period to 1673-4 the expen- diture chargeable to Income had increased from "3,600,000 to $23,310,000. The expenditure of the past iiseal your 1876-7 is 823,519,000, or an increase of about $208,000 under the present Administra- tion, while the revenue which in 1873-4 was about 024,205,000, had decreased in 1876-7to aboatt22,000,000. Mr. Cartwright clearly showed that the late Administra- tion had mistaken a season of inflation for one ot continuous prosperity, nnd had thus, on wrong premises, entered upon a course of reckless estrumgnnco which had reduced the Treasury to such a state that it was only after a term of great economy that the present government were able to hold out to the people of the Dominion a much happier state of affairs. Mr. Mchrthy, the member for Card, we1l,rcsutucd the debate on the Budget Tuesday afternoon. There was much said in the Conservative press last Session and since, as to the wonderful cleverness of this new light of Conservutism. But really, if the member for Cardwell is the hope of the Opposition, that party is to be eornmiserated. I had looked forward with some interest to Mr. McCarthy's speech, and I confess to a feeling of disappoint- ment as to his ability. The less the mem- ber for Cardwell meddles with the Fi- nnnccs of the Dominion-at least till he has paid a. good deal more attention to them than he has apparently done-tIss better. Mr. McCarthy may possess some ability in law matters, but in a discussion of the timuleial policy of the eountry, he is like tt echool boy going through a mathe. matival proposition, of which he does not know the first principles. The member for Cardwei.' is a young man, and if spared long enough. may yet comprehend some. thing of Political Economy and Financing, but if he thith that on the floor of the House of Commons of Canada, and with the very superhiel knowledge which he evidently possesses of Financial matters, lwean mislead the House into believing his statements. be is very far from having a true estimate either of his own ability or olthe crodulity of the House. True the components of our Parliament in their out- mud “momma: are not all of that type which maketh glad the hearts of the "party of gentlemen,” but underlying the unstyl» Uh ethic: of very many of our members of Parliament time in a mine of sound reasoning powers of which our Dominion need not be ashamed. and of which there we: an illustration last Tuesday night, when the sterling member for South Brant administered to Mr, McCarthy e castigation that mast have been nnything but agreeable to him. It must hsve been doubly gelling to the member for Cerdwell that none at the Ministers or more prom- inent_ when of the ministerial party thought it worth while replying tolliumud to have his manipulation of ikgur" so ri. heulonsly exposed by a prints member as we: done by Mr. Patterson. Dr. Tuppcr's reply to the Budget Speech was couched in much more mode. rate language than usual. Tho hon. member for Cumberland has great Cum- mand of words, and is certainly " man at" ability, but he has such a great habit of "istretehing" that his utterances have no great weight in the House. m has been acting as leader for the past few days, ow- ing to Sir John's absence in Toronto, and this may be the cause of his more modo. rate tone in replying to tho Budget Speech. The work of the Session may now be said tolmvo fairly commenced, and from the promptuess with which Reports. have been laid before the House the inlicutious are thut it will not be tho fault of the government if the Session is going to be a long one.
