GRAPHICAL Mississippi paper, which
keeps reporter expressly for descrip-
ton, has the following picture of a can
didate for office Of the party whom it
opposes:
Ills head is about as large as a coon's
and rcccdes so rapidly from the root Of
his nose tnat if stream of water were
poured perpcndicularly upon his brow,
more Of it would run of the back of
his head than off his face. His organs
Of mtelecton, if he ever had any, have
vacated and taken up their abode in the
poste"ior part Of his brain which makes
the cerbellum appear like Il market
basket hung to the back OF his head.
His teeth seem to be all gone, and his
gums close up to keep his chin out Of
danger. His nose looks like the butt
end of blood beet, and his eyes look
like auger holes ina muskmclQn rind.

Yhe Faminc and plague in Persia.

The news now received from Persia
couclusivelv contradicts recent state
ments of the Persian Minister here that
the famine and cholera were Of small
extent. The Persian Government has
a clear interest, of course, in underrat-
ing them, since the famine, at least
has been undoubtedly the result Of its
own oppressive maladministratOn. In
Ispahan, city with population esh-
mated at from 200, 000 to 500, 900, there
have been already Is, 600 deaths, and
the mortality has not yet diminished.
This terrible record, however, IS
eclipsed by the accounts from the
provinces where the famine first as
sumed alarming proportions. In Mas
saudreatt, a very much larger per cent
age Of deaths has taken place Some
accounts, indeed, say half the pop,
ulation have persisted. Throughout
the rice.growing provinces there has
been a complete failure of the crop,
owing to the drought Hopes OF bet
ter reports from these sections OF the
country must, therefore, be indefinitely
postponed. Large and populous DIS
tricts are altogether deserted. The DIS
ease, as might have naturally been e2-
pectea, follows in the train Of thls nor
mble drouth, and attacks man ana
beast. The former rumor OF the ASl,
atic plague having broken out Is not
confirmed, but, in its stead the ehoGl-
ETA, typhus fever, and small poX, the
last an unusual disease in Persia, are
doing dreadful work. The cattle plague
is raging terribly also, in districts
where any cattle are left to be preyed
upon by his rayages.

UNLooKED-FoR SENHIMENTs.-Ata meet
ing of Presbyterian ministers lately held
in Liverpool, convened for the purpose of
protesting against Gladstone's letter to Mr.
Dease, two ministers startled the assembly
from it's propriety by their opposition to its
object:
The Rev. A. Rentoul robe and said, he
believed that the intention of Mr.. Gladstone
was to protect this country from the ma
chinations of petty States, under whose
power the Pope might be brought at any
time. For example, it was possible that
the King of Italy might get the Pope under
his thumb, and then {, O0O, 200 of our fellow
countrymen would no longer be nnder the
power of the Pope, but in the power OF the
King of Italy, or some other petty sover-
eign. The Rev. j. A. Gardiner, In second
ing the amendment, said that the whole
drift of Mr. Glsdstone's letter was that,
knowing o very large number OF British
subjects were Roman Catholics, he wished
to preserve the dignity and spiritual indie
pendence of their chief pastor, in order
that they might be truly ministered to. He
Thought it was too bad to insinuate that
Mr.. Gladstone had some political intrigue
in view. On the contrary, his whole life
and policy went to show that ne was an
earnest, religious man, and that he possess
ed what they might all very properly imi-
GaC0-Gru6 Cu8CIUys w uy uoV SAsO ouo OPC
Independence He was doing a quiet good
work. He only wished that he (Mr. Gar
diner) and his reverend brethren might go
down, as some of the priests of the Roman
Catholic Church went down, into the very
darkest lanes, and ministered in the most
wonderful way to dying souls in places of
wretchedness where he and his brethren
would turn up their noses. So long as that
system ministered to the poor in the way
in which it did, he thought it deserved the
respect of every true man. At the same
time he disliked the ceremonial; he dis
liked the political organization, and n ne
most heartily wished that every sort of ILL
devised and meaningless frippery about it
was done away with. Yet it bad soul of
goodness in it.
1t is surely encouraging to see kindly
and appreciative feelings like these making
their way in quarters where, above all
others, we have been used to meet with
nothing but blind and rancorous animosity'

FAILURE OF THE NATIONAL SYSTEM IN
IRELAND.-Despite the hope conceived by
one of the chief promoters of the National
System, Archbishop Whately, that it would
"aradually undermine the vast fabric of
Popery in ireland" that system, as far as
it is a success, has drifted into a denomina-
tional one. This fact, already known to
all, is declared in the report of the recent
ROYAL Commission on Primary Education.
1t appears, therefore,. that after the many
millions spent on primary instruction for
335 years, we stand face to face with these
striking results; secular education, in the
modern sense, implying the ignoring of all
religious instruction, may be said to be IN

Canada thistles:

hollow at some season of the year-about
the time they are in full bloom, say, lst TO
18th Of August, in New York State (about
full of noon but IS they do not ali ripen
alike, it is better to try some of the most
forward ones occasionally, to see when the
most are ready to cut, and should any be 40
old as to be likely to scatter seed, take q
covered basket and carefully pick off those
blossoms that are getting 100 ripe, and burn
'1emi but when ready 20 cut, NOV them as
close As possible to the ground, stack them
up, and, when dry, burn them. The Gre.
year will kill, say. three-four.hs of them

What IL left. The above method has been
tried for over nifty years, and found to be
