Permission REUSED GREAT BRITAR TO
MARCH TRoOPs THRoUGn AMERICAN TER
RIroRY TO WINNIPEd.-I have very high
authority for the statement that Soon after
IL was determined by the British authorities
to send an expedition to the Winnipeg
country to suppress the rebellion there, Mr..
Minister Thornton limited TO Secretary Fish
that Il would be very desirable to have per.
mission to transport the dominion troops
over the United States territory or waters
into the theatre Of war. Secretary Fish very
plainly indicated that the United States
could not grant such permission. Mr..
Thornton feeling this TO be not at all en-
cOuraging, or, perhaps, not having In the
first place contemplated actually asking per.
mission, dropped the subject, and no refer
ence, am Informed, has since been made TO
Il In the officiRl communication between the
parties. Secretary Fish, however, as ! am
reliably Informed, brought the matter before
the attention OF the President aud his Cab
met at regular Cabinet meeting that
occurred soon after. The prOpriety of al.
lowing British troops to pass over our soil
or through our waters to the Rcd River
e)uutry for the purpose Of putting down a
rebellion was fully discussed, and II was
unanimously agreed that such thing could
not be permitted. Every member of the
Cabinet concurred In this view. | take II
that thls announcement Of the status OF the
Administration on so important a question
ought 10 silence the grumblngs and growI.
ings OF those people who have been declaring
for weeks past that the President and Socre,
tary Fish would Cheerlully yield compliance
10 the wishes OF the British authOrilieF.-

Top-Drcss;ng.

With regard 10 this mode of manuringl
there are also veriou- opinions but that
ii can be vary proiitaDly employed
scarcely admits Of question. On grass
lands il is generally withheld too long
until the grass roots are exhausted
and there H. nothing left upon which tol
build up a crop. III OH high land, thel
top-dressing should be applied rs early
as Immediately after the second year

fall. Then il has vigorous roots 10 work
upon. and by top-dre.sing annually. or
every other year. moving fields might
be kept running for ten or fifteen years
aud produce rom a ton 10 ton and a
hale annually. His would save cou-
siderable cost in ploughing, levciing and
the cost Of seed.
On moist lands. once well set in grass,
swalc lands, on the margin of meadows,
slight annual top-drc-sing Will help

The manure can the be applied withou
injury to the ground by cariing over it
and the rains will wash out the solubl,
matters from the manure and carry then

bright clime," where sorrow nor
trouble, nor gloom can ever enter.
The trees that lose their mantle of
leaves when the wintry winds
blows, will renew their loneliness,
as the genial influences Of spring
awake them to life again. There
is comfort in this reflection to the
heart prepared to receive it. And
so in nature, in the noise, the
strife and cares of daily life, and
in our own individual circumstan-
there is, as we have before said,
always something to give us hope,
to make us contented with our
condition, to increase our strength,
to purify our desires and enhance
the moral beauty of our lives
The success of others, rightly
viewed, should make us feel that,
with Gods blessing we too may
be prosperous, while the sufferings
of the unfortunate should make us
rejoice that our condition is more
tolerable. The friendship and con
fidence ofour fellowmen should be
a support and an incentive, even
when we feel weak and discour
aged; the smile of an innocent
babe is at once a reprOof to the
impatient parent, and an inspira
ton, for it speaks of future en-
riched with love and cheered by
the presence of a devoted child
There are angels unseen, evel
lowering over US, and when thu
soul is in accord with these soft
ening and elevating influences, w
can hear their voices in the winds
in the music of birds, thetones o
loved ones, and in all that is pur
and good, we may see and hea
them. And the burden ofall thei
utterances is, trust in Providence
'In every note that swells the gale,
Or tunefIl strain that cheers the vale,
The cavern's depth, or echoing grove,
A voice is heard of praise and love"
