How TO MAKE New ROPE PLIABLE.
Considerable difficulty is sometimes expo
rienced in handling new rope on account
Of its stiffness. This is especially the case
when it is wanted for haltcrs and cattle
ties. Every f,rlNcr is aware how iucon-
vcnent Il row still rope halter is to put on
and t'o W ..o'so with. Ani rev ropes
for tying cattle are frequently unsafe, for
they are not pliable enough to knot Sc
curely. All this can be remcdicd, and
new rope made as timber and soft at once
as after years constant use, by simply
boiling it for two hours in water, and then
hanging it up in warm room, to let it dry
out thoroughly. 1t retains its stiffness un.

the owner of valuable horse discovers a

wishes to have grow out as soon as posi-
BILE. Now, a gentleman of Denmark, New

claims will cause the hair to start right
away on bare spots caused by blistering,
harness gall, or otherwise. Take an old
boot or shoe, place it on the fire, burn to a
coal, pulverize, and mix with hogs lard to
thin paste. A few applications of the
paste to the bare place will do the work.
Try it.

DR1MATIC VICTIMS.

1t is an old story that the gentleman who
came home drunk from dnner-party charged
his misfortune to "tllat last picked oyster"
Nobody is ever willing TO acknowledge the
exact cause of a shameful effect. In theatrical
life, especially, this truth finds frequent and
apt illustration. No player ever fails for want
of ability. Either the public is stupid, and
cannot appreciate, or the critics have formed q
conspiracy to condemn. Usually, we have
observed, there has been conspiracy. 1t is
quite awful to reflect, indeed, upon the number
of dramatic victims who have thus been immo-
lated. The field of journalism is strewn with
their whitening bones. One would imagine
that the critics of the stage have nothing else
to do but to form conspracies against the
heroes and heroines of the theater. Lately
it appears, they have cOnspired against n
certain troupe of burlcsque performers. This
we learn from that usually fccund and inn
mensey trustworthy source of home news, the
provincial press. We knew already that this
troupe had gradually izzled ont, in New York.
like bad pin-wheel, and had left anything
but pleasant odOr behind it. And this re-
sult we had attributed to its real and very
obvious cause.-the puelility and indecency
into which (after a pleasant and promis-
ing START its performances dcgenerated.
But it now appears, from the out-of-town
papers, that We were mistaken. II was not the
cold punch that made the gentleman q
little vague; lit was " that last picked oys-
ter" 1t was not a parade of bare legs, in-
decent gestures, aud general grossness and
f0olishness, which made the burlesquers a
nuisance on our stage 1t was the conspiracy
of journalists Worse than all these jour
naists did not conspre of their own
free will, but they were manipulated"
into this direful coalition against " the
"blondes," by gentleman who lives in the
country! The Boston Courier is bounteous
enough to dvulge this startling fact, and to give
the indignant public a glimpse of this dark and
willy Philip the Second, in his rural Escurial.

will, of course, come from Boston. Everything
luscious naturally proceeds out of that Naza-
reth In the meanwhile, as we reflect upon the
luxurious seryitude into which our brethren
of the quill have manfestly fallen, we
drop the tear of sensibility upon their
manipulated condition, and crave the in
diligence of a righteous public toward the
weakness of hungry sinners. To err is human
if it be to dine especially if it be to dine
with Macenas, Cincinnatus, and Macbavelli
rolled into one. Besides-the reflection that
the blondes have been virdicated ought to
incline the public mind to mercy. They did
not walk about like Adam and Eve in the
Garden of Eden. They did not wrggle
and caper in the cancan. They did not exhale
an odor of vulgarity which has infected the
robes of the whole dramatic profession, tina
many seasons of fumigatiOn will be required
to make those garments sweet. On the con-
trary they were everything that is lovely
only they offended a country gentleman, and
he laid them waste by manipulating the New
York press. Alas, that picked oyster!

rnE GOHERNOR. GENERARS SPEECH.

The remarkable speech ut the Quebec ban
duet of Governor General Sir John Young has
precipitated an opinion that until now was I'M
perfectly defined. The Canadians never knew
so we'll until the Governor General told them
how independent they were within certain
shadowy limits, and how absolute their
freedom, under tutelage, was to do as
they plcased-how, in fact, their des-
TIMES were in their own hands, and that
they were privileged to go deliberately
about their business. Sir John spoke for
England rather than for Canada, and the
great significance of his speech is that it
admits and permits all that Canada can pos
sibly have TO say. The mother country has
forestalled her complaining provinces. and,
instead of an outbreak on the part OF the
New Dominion, we have declaration OF
independence from England.
We give to Gov. Young's speech the
credit due to its prudence, foresight and adj
mirable temper. 1t was a speech that could
not be helped, and was ithc best which Eng
land could make to the purpose through the
mouth of a Governor-General He declared
that England was prepared to defend Canada
so long rs the colony desired to be defended [;
but should she, in her maturing growth, seek
another alliance, the good sense of the mother
country was prepared to accede to her, and so
help her to conduct every step of her change
that she might forever remain n firm ally OF
England "A monarch abdicates,' says loyal
Quebec paper, can empire is dssolved-such
sis now our situation; and as by the wand
"of an enchanter, the edifice of British domi-
"nation in North America disappears One
journal calls for plebiscite so that the sense
of Canada in favor Of independence shall be
determined at once
The speech of the Governor General is ut
all events, an excellent reflex of the policy
which Great Britain has adopted Of late years
toward all her colonies. The world has ceased
to regard territorial swelling as pure growth
of possession and empire, and since the
days of 1770, and with the pros
perity and power OF the United States con-
stantly before her as lesson and IN ex-
ample, the craftsmanship of England has
grown wiseryand better. The sagacious words
of the Governor General only serve to place
Canada at once in the attitude which she must
assume early or late, that of justice and respect
to herself Fortunately, perhaps, for England,
she has taken the surest way of preserving
the affection, and in some sort, the dependence
of her provinces, by granting at once their
right TO elect their independence. She cannot
prevent the growing individuality of the New
Dominion, but in striving to save her moral
power by concessions she does in one way sur
render only to conquer.
