the delay in publishing the election returns by

that more than delay was attempted voted to
employ counsel to inquire into the matter,

A LAKE ONTARIO DISASTER A sad disaster
occurred to one Of the Canadian steamers Of
the Royal Mail line between Toronto and Mon

Oshawa, on Lake Ontario, about thirty five
miles from Toronto, the steamer Bayarian
was found to be on fire. There were, fortu-
nately but thirty-siI persons on board, and Of
these twenty-five escaped in two Of the boats,
a third boat having being swamped and lost.
The remainder are supposed to have perished,
including the captain and the steward Of the
boat and three lady passengers. The line has

VIII boou Iedsou tudI 'tuc message OF the
Executive expressed the general desire for the
adoption Of definite government, but yet ad-
vised the continuance Of the present pre-
carious regime" There he struck o
note which the government must answer,
and very soon. A fortnight before
the opening, the provisional government was
accounted all but dead in the arms Of the
restored monarchy, and cry for definite
government" was the best in the royalist
repertoire. To day they are in no hurry be-
cause until they have secured King, framing
q constitution would be, for them, writing
Hamlet with the title role left out. It
is not ut all impossible that among
the Orleans princes the requisite article can
be found The fusion in the family would
no doubt, be easily broken if the Due
d Aumale saw his way to preserving the fusion
in the Assembly. 1t is not clear that he could
do this successfully now; but little more Of
the present uncertainty might work wonders
for him or the Comte de Paris. II
will be observed that all these
tactics are carried on without any
respect to the wishes Of the people The re-
publicans and Bonapartists cry for an appeal
to the nation. 1t would be certain success for
the former, as matters stand now it is the
despairing hope of the latter who always
liked the people as sharks love herrings The
motion made yesterday by M. Leon Say, ques
tioning the government upon their neglect te
order elections to fill vacancies, will bring the
government to its feet upon this question o
facing the people. 1t has been rumored tha

Shoeing q Camel.

A traveller from Pekin to Siberia,
across the great desert of Cobb, tells MS
that whenever a camel's feet have be-
come very tender and sore from long
marches, the poor creature lies down.
His driver knows at once that his feet
hurt him, and looks to find ont if the
thick skin of the feet is blistered.
Whenever q blister is found, two or
three strong men, usually Mongols,
keep watch of the camel until it is not
noticing them. At Just the right mo
ment they make rush all together
upon the camel, throw it over upon the
side, and make it fast. Then, with q
needle made for that use, they sew
square piece of leather large enough to
cover the hurt place over the camel's
foot, the skin Of which is quite thick
enough to sew through, without hurt
ing TIE animal. With his new shoes on,
the camel is quite ready to get up and
march on. The pieces of leather are
very carefully prepared for this use. 1t
sometimes happens that q camel lies
down in the midst of his long march
across the wide desert and dies. The
natives takes the thickest part of his
skin to make shoes of. These bits of
skin they take out day after day, when
on the march, and pull, until taey be-
come 80 soft and yielding that a camel
with blistered feet seems grateful to
have shoes made of it, although he
would resist the shoeing until the last,
were he not held 80 that he could not

ALCOHOL IN BRRAD.-It has been
generally stated that the alcohol formed
IN dough during the process of fermen-
tatiOn is all expelled in the baking, but
some earnest teetotalers may be panied
to learn that Mr.. T. BOlas finds that
perceptible amount of the intoxicating
fluid may be obtained from so small q
quantity as two ounces of bread. From
the report of his investigations pub
lished in the chemical news, it appears
that si1 samples of new bread, bought at
shops in London, yielded from .221 to
.401 of one per cent. of alcohol. After
the bread had been exposed to the air
in a moderately warm room for a week,
two-thirds of the alcohol had evapora-
ted. Mr.. Bolasv remarks that "The
amount of alcohol contained in bread is
too small to be of any dietetic impor-
tance, but it may be, perhaps, worth
while to notice, that forty-two pound
loaves are about equal in alcoholic
strength to bottle of port" He hopes
soon to determine the amount Of alcohol
which dough loses while baking. Our
readers probably recollect that some
years ago attempts were made in Eng
land to save the large amount of alcohol
supposed to be lost in bakers ovens. A
good deal of money was sunk in the ex-
pertinent, but it was found that the
am8unt and quality of the spirit OBJ
tanned were not such as to make the
process remunerative.-L0n Medi-

Iconoclasm In Spain.

To devout mind nothing of all ICON
oclasm in Spain is more impressive than
the destruction of st Ter sa's convent
at Avila. She founded it in the year 1854,
when she was unknown and very poor.
Perhaps in all the chronicles of the
church there is no instance recorded of
greater faith. It was objected that four
ducats, her only means, could never
found q convent. "No," she replied,
"Teresa and four ducats can do moth
ing, it is sure; but God, Teresa, and
four cucats can do everything" She
pressed her purpose till the convent was
founded, and with it thirty others in
various parts of Spain. In all these the
nuns are now reduced to state OF star
walton, collections being made at the
church doors to supply these unfortu-
nate ladies with bread. As a rule, all
of them were rich and of noble families.
The principal of their dowries was given
by their parents in the same way that q
marriage-portion is beetGwed. This has
been confscated by the government, and
the interest is withheld. Their homes
have been destroyed the wood carvings
and window decorations sold for the
value of the materials +; the altar-pieces
and priceless paintings trampled in the
dust, and they themselves turned into
the streets to beg. And yet, less than
forty years xgo, the converts of Avila
had relays Of mules constantly running
between their town and Santsnder, in
order that they might have their fish
daily fresh from the sea. Great, indeed,
has been iconoclasm in Spain
