THE ANNEXATION QUESTION IN CANADA

From the Bangor (McJ Courier, September l6.l
The question or Canadian annexation to the United
States seems rapidly to be settling Itself without
trane0us aid. 10 ID Impossible TO suppress the in-
tense feeling that agitates the people throughout tho
British provinces upon tins question. They have
become aware that future prosperity depends upOn
the adoption OF our institutions, and breaking away
from old institutions that are bearing thom down
like an incubus. Not even the presence OF the
h0nored Prince Arthur can prevent the expression
OF the sentiment that English domination is des-
tructive TO thelr material and political welfare.
the most emphat C aud Significant was at Q great
public meeting held Tin Quebec on Sunday last, ~
which strong annexation resolutions were passed.

A Cruel Poetess.

From the New York Express.l
Miss Virginia Townsend says, through
friend, that the charge that she has
neglected her old father, in the poor
house, has almost broken her hear"
and Of course is not true. To which the
New Haven Register responds, that Mr..
Townsend was sent to the insane asylum,
where be remained seven years, without
single visit from his daughter, who has
been caused SO much suffering by news
paper paragraph. He was removed from
the asylum because he was no longer
insane, and sent to the almshouse because
his appeals to his tender-hearted daughter,
both by letter and otherwise, brought no
answer. He has remained there some
four years, and if she had just " learned
of the fact" there has been plenty Of
time for her to secure more comfortable
accommodations for her aged father. Mr..
Townsend is represented to be kind and
gentle, and to feel keenly the neglect of
his rich daughter.

Death Of LORD Rroughto,,.

The simple announcement of the death
of Lord Broughton, at the advanced age
of eighty three, possesses but little inter
est for American readers. Under this
title he was wholly unknown on this side
of the Atlantic, but as Sir John Cam Hob
house, his name is familiar to all the
admirers of Byron's poetry. It was
during their college life by the Cam that
the intimacy of the two began, which
subse quently carried them in companion
ship to the East, journey commemo-
rated, as few others have been, by Sir
Johns prose narrative of "A Journey
through Albania" and the widely-read
verse of "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage"
Deceased's contributions to literature
were numerous. Eewas several times in
the Cabinet; he made considerable
figure in Parliament as radical and con-
sentative; be was once consigned to New
gate for an alleged breach Of privilege,
and was at last elevated to the peerage,

milton, eighteen years ago. But his name
will be known in association with Lord
Byron long after his own acts and writings
have been forgotten.
