CROFTER COLONISATION.

A memorandum of arrangements between the
Home Government and the Canadian Government
relative to the Crofter and Cottax Colonisation Scheme
has been published. A scheme was drawn up by the
Marquis of Lothian early in April of this year which
proposed, in addition to the grant ~)f £lO,OOO by the
thof +ha dovernment should
make free grants of land of 180 acres to each
family emigrating from West Scotland. Several
minor suggestions as to the apportioning of the
money and constitution of a beard to superintend
the scheme were included, and the proposals sub-
mitted to the Home and Canadian Governments. The
Treasury assented to the Secretary of Scotland's
scheme, and forwarded the same with recommenda-
tions to Lord Lansdowne. The Dominion Govern-
ment co-operated heartily, and an act to facilitate the
working of the scheme has already been passed by
the Canadian Legislature.

"Mn. SMITH gone abroad?" "Yes, my husband
is on the Continent for his health." "I thought he
was well enough." "No; there was a weakness in
the spinal column of his ledger."
