SPEECH OF Mr.. A.Insay. M. Il.

Mr.. w. S. Lindsay, ii. F., had been
speakin at length upon American
affairs at an agricultural dinner. In the
course OF his remarks he denied the
statement made by Lord Russell at Blair
gowrie, that the sympa.hies of the ma
iori.y of the people Of England were
with the Federal States. The noble Ear l.
he submitted, had not spoken the aent
ments of either the people OF Parliamen,
OF England. fthe North bad gone to
war for the purpose of putting An end ia
to slavery, President Lincola and his col
leagues would have had the moral support
of very large majority of Englishmen,
but the conflict was entered upon, ond
was being prosecuted with no such end
in veiw. With respect to the proceed
ings which had been taken under the
foreign enlistment act, he said he desired
to see the law of the land respected, bu,
1T the same time "he could not see why
they should prevent Il e suthern people
from being supplied with ships while the
Federals cont nued to be supplied with
arms As to the Issue Of the war be
he had no doupt whatever 1t would be

TnE Losr Lovse--Gensine fuu st
times ge,s into the church. In one Of
our meetings, 10 which petitions from
all sorts Of persons arc scsd for all sorts
OF things, one was rexd s'for young
women who had lost Ter Grit love- IL
The meeting was . pssson who frequent
y took part, whose hstSt il. WAS to add
"er" after some words, Auch rs 10 Lord
-et," "Hesr our prayer-er." ~ ONE
and bless USER" Beng believer IN
fal ing from grace, he had an eye to the
young woman who had lost her first
love be arose to pray for her, which be
did in this manner 70 Lord, hear The
prayer-er Of this young woman-er
who lost her fret loyer." In each rep
etition Of the word he called il "ioyer,"
and 70 emphasized the sord "frst" that
the case seemed particularly hard from
the fact that it was her FIRST lover she
lost. Had it been the second one, or
any other, the affection would not have
seemed 90 great and as the ardept
prayer went forth that the lost lover
might be restored, grave faces relaxed,
ard countcnances unused to emile in the
house Of the Lord could not resist the
temptation. The idea of stray lover
being the theme Of prayer was comical
indeed. No one could keep his face
straight.

A number OF experiments With Greek
fro las been reecntl made by Elf.
Short, the inventor, in presence Of sev-
cral officers Of rank, with 4 view Of con-
tradcting the impression that the shell
containing the fire exploded premature
ly. The gon was placed in position on
the beach, and pointed seswsrd. Ten
tin tubes, each Of which iA shree inch es
in length and ,hree-foufths Of IN inch in
diamatcr, and filed with natelial COM
posing the Greek fire, where then drop
ped in q con,cal shell and filed round
with powder. The first shell thrown
exploded prematurely, in consequence
shells subsequently fired had placed
round the fuse cap, and, with perhaps
one or two exceptions, fully accomplish
ed all that had been claimed for them.
A dozco shells were fired, nine of which
exploded At = distance Of |, 200 yards.
TO chow the powerful effect of the
Greek Gre, a number Of tubes were
lighted and submerged in water, when
they were allowed to remain untl near
iy burned, aud then taken out, but the
bright blue flame wss not extinguished
Other tubes were lighted and com plete.
~ buried in moist ssnd, which was
close y packed, bat this also ia led to
quench the fire. The tubes burnt for
about minute and half: When first
ignited the fire issncs from one end Of
the fire with fierce rushing sound, no.
unlike tina. which accompanies. the fight
of rocket, and extends to the distance
Of a yard, bnt il soon sinks down to a
dazzling blue flame Of about two inches
in length, losing it's pesniarity Of sound
and thus continues to burn to the end
An ignited tube in basin OF water
gives The latter the appearance Of boil
