He is as reticent and modest about his comâ€" mand of it as he is about his other qualities, Yet the following incident, which happened some years nfio in Wales, shows that his knowledge of Italian is very wide indeed.

No country fcould prosper with constaztly changing policies, such us the Liberals proposed, and if they had got into wer the result would have been most ‘rionutrous to comâ€" merce. Whatever might be said of the policy carried out before 1879, there could be but one opinion of the gohcy adopted for the last sixteen years, Proceeding, he pointed out that the conditions which enabled Great Britain to operate & free trade policy were not present in Canada, and that policy was, therefore, impracticâ€" wble here. $6,665 ; fittings for armouries, etc., Domâ€" inion Keyboard and Art Mmufu:bunnfi Company $7,035 ; gas fixtures, Keith an Fitzsimons, $673; locksand hardware, Peterâ€" borough Lock Manutacturing Company, Mr, Bain (Wentworth) was distinetly in favour of the amendment of the hon. memâ€" ber for South Oxford. He criticised the Finance Minister for borrowing money, and accused the Government of extravagance. He went on to discuss the National Policg, and ridiculed the idea that there was wny protection in the National Policy for the meat products of the farmer. Prices had been higker in the United States than in this country, and people did not ship from @ higher to a lower market. The Liberal farmer did not ask any better proâ€" tection than the English farmer had, and would not be satisfied with anything else. It would be a sorry day for Canada when the English farmer got the protection that hon. gentlemen opposite said he was clamouring for. Considerable attention was paid to combines, which were said to exist under protection. It would be strange if they did not exist with the fosâ€" tering care they had, t $1,576 ; in all $258,150. Mr. Semple, in resuming the debate on the budget, said the Government did not legislate for farmers because they did not come to Ortawa and lobby like the manuâ€" facturers. Farmers had long been content with little, and had not, therefore, de: manded their rights, but the present genâ€" eration was awaking to its rights, and the Government could not long continue to ignore them. _ _ tss P ie RS s condio nevsane Mr. Wood (Westmoreland) said the effect of protection was well illustrated and its value amply justified from the fact that 69 per cent. ofy the industries of the counâ€" try employed a capital of $50,000 or more. It was said that if the result of protection was not to increase the prices why protect the articles. . The first reason wns that the protection ensured steadiness and stability to the market. Secondly, it afforded proâ€" tection from disastrous competition that would at times ensue from overproduction in foreign countries and thirdly, it secured revenue. Mr. Sproule said hon. gentlemen oppoâ€" site were backed by annexationists from the United States in their trade efforts. Proceeding, he pointed out how the Canaâ€" dian market bad been preserved for the Canadian farmer by the exclusion of pork and grain from the Ehiud States, â€" No one could convince the intelligent farmer that such was not the case, The Liberals profesâ€" sed to be anxious for theelection, but it was a good thing for them that it had not been held. _ All ciasses would be arrayed against them, and they would be again relegated to the cold shades of Opposition as in the past. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Mclsaac contended that no matier what other defence they might have for the National Policy, the Conservatives could not claim, in view of their record, that their policy had never changed, The country had been swindied and robbed by contractâ€" ors out of millions of dollars, and if we had not lost these sums it would not be necesâ€" sary for the Finance Minister to come beâ€" fore the Eoople and say : * We have a deficit." . He estimated that $7,000,000 had been stolen and swindled in these and other ways from the people, and still the whole total had not been enumerated.

Meantime preparations for the coronation were going forward, and this magnificent apectacle occurred on the 28 of June, 1838, a few days more than a year after the Queen‘s accession. 3 On Feb. 10, 1840, the marriage of the Queen to Prince Albert took place and a new career of hnm.-u:dlonwuopon- ed before her.

M e na en e f **Was there, "he asked with some trepidaâ€" tion, ‘"any individual of the other sex for whom she entertaimed a preference beyond all other men ?"" ~ The marriage of the Queen soon became a prominent question, and it was Lord Melâ€" bourne‘s duty to uscertain, if possible, whether she had formed any thoughts on that subject for herself, As & matter of fact, she was already in love with her youthful sousin, Prince Albert of Saxeâ€" ‘(%oburg, but he was three months her junicr and far from being matured, Nothing hud been spoken between the cousios, but in the respective families the idea had long been maturing that this young couple whould marry. _ How widely this fact was known is now difficult to say, nor would it be & matter of grave consideration to the statesmen of England, for royal marriages had been rerely based on affection or personal choice, but were usually considered as affairs of state. . Pondering over the subject, Lord Melbourne at last broached. it to the Queen. * R 1 } It was a fortunate thing for the Queen, for Great Britain also, that Melbourne was prime minister at the time of her accession. He was a Whig, but not a partisan, and his impartiality was often so great that some of the keenest of his own party followers called him a Tory at heart. To his hands was committed the first initiation of the Queen in her constitutional dutics. He was nolon%er young, but was not old, and she gave him her confidence, _ He was as passionately fond of her as he would have been of a daughter, and he always treated her with a sort of parental care, and at the sume time with respectful deference. Her deportment charmed every beholder and the Duke of Wellington declared that had she been his cwn daughter he could not have desired to see her perform her part better. THE YOUTHLUL QUEEN ENTERED, She wore & plain mourning robe, her hair dressed in close bands about her forehead and in a tight coil at the back of her head. But her aspect and demeanor won the unbounded admiration of all present. Few otf those present had ever seen her save perhaps at m distance, for she had been brought up and educated in great seclusion and now her seifâ€"possession and serenity struck them with amazement. â€" She bowed and read her speech io a clear, unfaltering and sweetly musical voice, and then took the oath for the security of the Church of Scotland. Next the privy councillors were sworn, the royal dukes of Camberland and Sussex first by themselves. As these two venerable men, her uncles, knelt before her. und swore allegiance she blushed to the: eyes and kissed them both cordially. Jt was the only instance during the long cereâ€" mony that she showed embarrassment, and her eyes revealed the tenderness of her affectionate nature as she rose from her chair out of regard to the infirmity of her Uncle Sussex and moved toward him with outstretched arms. & prime minister, who was soon to acquire an influence with her which he never abused, and which was of untold value in the way of her education in statecraft, calied and prepared her for the opening act of the stately drama now to begin, He had preâ€" pared her speech to the great council, which was to assemble at 11 o‘clock in the receptiomâ€"room of the palace, . There were assembled the great officers of state, the prime minister and the lord high chancelâ€" lor, the Archbishop of Canterbury and York, and her uncles, the dukes of Camberâ€" land and Sussex, With these were to be seen cabinet ministers and great peers of the realm, the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Lansdowne, Sir Robert Peel and & great number of others, the most famous and powerful of her subjects. Asked whether she would be accompanâ€" ied or would enter the room alone, she said she would go in alone, _ When all the lords were assembled the folding doors were thrown open and ‘ QUEEN OF CREAT BRMTAIN BELOVED AND RESPECTED BY THE WHOLE WORLD.

The Queen of Great Britain and Ireland and Empress of India attained her seventyâ€" sixth birthday on the 24th of May, and on June 20, will have completed the fiftyâ€" eighth year of her reign. It has been one of the greatest periods in the world‘s hisâ€" tory and marks a physical and intellectual progress unparalieled in time. Above all it is the most brilliant epoch in the history of the British Empire, ever to be renowned for the splendid galaxy of great men and women it has produced, Among these no name will stand forth more illusirious or more imperishable than that of Victoria 3. As sovereign and woman her life has been open as the day, to be observed of all men, and it has been from the beginning pure, honest and unsullied. _ As wife,mother and queen she is peerless among women, THE KING IS DEAD. The eigteenth birthday of the Princess Victoria, when she came of age, was celeâ€" brated with great pomp and festivity on the 24th of May, 1837, All England reâ€" joiced in the prospect of a youthful soverâ€" eign, who must inevitably soon be called to the throne, for the "‘sailor king," William IV., was enfeebled by age and disease. . A few weeks later he was fast approaching his final hour. June 19, 1837, he received the final consolations of religion at the hands of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and at 2:20 o‘clock on the morning of the 20th he passed to that state which king and sul« ject slike must enter and ceased to be King of the British Empire. â€" He died at Wind: sor Castle, and ere his body was cold mesâ€" sengers were dispatched to Kensington Palace to inform the princess that she was queen. The messengers were the Archâ€" bishop of Canterbury and the Marquis of Conyngham, chamberlain of the palace. lew scenes in Victoria‘s long reign are more pleasing or more affecting than those in which he heard the news of her accession and rece‘ved the allegiance of the mimastry and the lords of the privy council. LONG LIVE THE QUKEN. The messengers left Windsor at 3 o‘clock in the morning and arrived at Kensington Palace, in London, at 5. â€" The princess was sleeping in her mother‘s room, which had always been her custom, and was summonâ€" ed hastily ; she entered the presence of the messengers wrapped in a dressing gown, with slippers on her naked feet. Conynham / told ber their errand, and addressed her s_a‘ * Your Maujesty," She put out her hand, and they kissed it in homage, and throughâ€" out the recital of the news behaved with wdmirable selfâ€"possession and modesty.

She carried about 2,000 tons of cargo, and was valued at $103,000. Pacific Mail bookkeeper was regarded us a imost startling piece of information. A few moments later a telegram was received trom the company‘s agent at Manzanillo to the effect that the ship had gone down, «nd that fourteen passengers and five of the crew had reached whore in a small boat, Just how muny of the passengers were wboard the vessel when the accident hapâ€" pened which sent her to the bottom cannot be ascertuined at present. The vessel stops at Mazatian and San Blas before rewhing Manzanillo, and passongers were landed an. taken on at both places.

Two months elapzed, and one day ms Smith was standing at the bar siready mentioned a mam unknown to him, apâ€" prouched and addressed him as follows, ** Are you the gentlaman who lost a gold watch about two months ago ?" * Yes," replied Smith, eyeing his questioner in some surprise. _ ol d An inscription was deeply engraven on the watch, and there were ample other means of identifying it, so Smith felt sure it would find its way to a meltingâ€"pot. He accordingly made up his mind to regard the article as irredeemably lost and not worry himself with any fruitless endeavors to reâ€" cover it j A TRUE STORY OF GLascow. In one of the streets which run northâ€" wards at right angles from Argyie Street, Glasgowâ€"in whatis in fact one of the best parts of the cityâ€"there is a restaurant with bar and smokerooms, where a certain Glasgow drysalter has for years been in the hubit of meeting both business and private friends occasionally. . One evening after having just left this place, he decided to #smoke a cigar on the way home. _ It was w somewhat windy night, and in order to get a light, he walked a few paces into a passage off the street. He there struck a matcb, and had just got his cigar lit, when he felt himself suddenly seized by the throat from behind, _ Now this drysalter, whom we will call Smith, who originally came from Lancashire, was a very fair Lancashire wrestler, and there can be no doubt that a sturdy fellow who knows the points of Lancashire wrestling is an exâ€" tremely difficult Customer to handle. _ He knew this, and was about to struggle for it when both his wrists were suddeniy seized by @nother man and pinned behind his back. There he was heid absolutely helpâ€" less, unable to move, unable to shout for help, upable even to breathe, whilst a third ruftian proceeded to rifle his pockets, Smith was not injured beyond having been gnrotwd to insensibility, and he sutâ€" fered no serious effects from the assault ; and as he luckily had not much money on his person, he had but one serious loss, that of a fine presentation gold watch. No doubt the lastâ€"mentioned individual performed*his duty as expeditiously as posâ€" wible, but to the mind of the throttled man the time taken seomed interminable, and as the distressof suffocation became momentarâ€" ily more cruel to bear, he fervently wished that he could only render some assistance in speeding his own robbery. Ere the villains had finished with him he had lost consciousness, and when he recovered it, he found himself lying on his back on some stone flugs in a little yard at the end of the passage. By this time, of course, his assailants were gone, asalso was everything of value from his pockets.. A GARRUTTE ROBBERY.

With indigestion it is not only that one suffers all imaginable torments, physical and mental, but more, perâ€" haps, than anything else, an impaired digestion is the forerunner of countâ€" less ailments that in their course lead to the most serious consequences.

These were the feelings of Mrs. Galbraith, wife of Mr. A. V. Galbraith, the wellâ€"known jeweller of Shelburne, Ont., before she had learnâ€" ed of the beneficent results to be gainâ€" ed by the uso of South American Nervine Tonic. In so many words she said: "Life was becoming unâ€" bearable. I was so cranky I was really ashamed of myself. Nothing that I ate would agree with me; now it does not matter what I eat, I take enjoyment out of all my meals." Here ure Mrs. Galbraith‘s words of testiâ€" mony to South American Nervine, given over her own signature : "Shelburne, Ont., March 27, 1894. 1 was for considerable time a sufâ€" ferer from indigestion, experiencing all the misery and annoyance so Highest Price paid for Raw Furs Rugker, Isn. 20th, 1892, "I TFLL ALL MY FRIENSS."

South American Nervâ€" ine must cure, because it operates at once on the nerve centres,. These nerve centres are the source from which emanates the life flaid that keeps all organs of the body in proper | repair. Keep these nerve centres sound and disease is unknown. Thero is no trick in the business. Everyâ€" thing is very simple and common sense like. South American Norvine strengthens the digestive organs,tones up the liver, enriches the biood, is peculiarly efficacious in building up shattered and nervous constitutions. It never fails to give relief in one day, common to this complaint. South Aumerican Nervine was recommended to me as a safe and effective remedy for all such cases. I used only two bottles, and am pleased to testify that these fully cured me, and I have had no indication of a return of the trouble since. _ I never fail to recommend the Nervine to all my friends trouble) with indigestion or nervousness.
