EO Ee&K @s W4k&&D3&AS SOuC&1A1G some D01l- anthropic intentions of the latter toward by Hon. and Rev. W. H. Lyttelton at a meeting of the Southbridge School of Art: 'sT have read of your offer on behalf of the thrifty work-people of Darley, and of the thankful acceptance of the same by the district authorities of the place. I cannot resist the highly unwonted desire that has arisen in me to say that highly approve and applaud the ideas you have on the Subieck and tO declare in words that in my opinion nothing wiser, more benef- ice1t, or worthy of your distinguished place ss master of workers, has come before me for many a year. Would to heaven all or many of the captains of in duSSxy Tn England had a soul in them such as yOarslf and could do as you have doae. or could still further cooperate with yOz In works and plans to the like effect. The look of England is to me at this mo- aeas abundaztly OminOus, the question of capital and labor growing ever more an- zxrAScal insOlable by the notions hith- eEto-zpplie9 tO it, pretty certain to issue in peSroleum one day, unless some other SoSpel than that of the dismal science co@e to Illuminate it.

 The lumber traffic of Canada last year rear1aed very nearly $24, ,OOO, 900. By far the hsgsr portion of this traffic is with EHStzns and the United States; England took tO the valae of nearly $13, ,OOO, 900 and the States above S9, ,OO0, ,OOO But a beginning has been made with many oth- CT eoantxSes which, if properly attended to. wIu issue in an enormous trade before many years go by. Our forests are the finest and most extensive on the conti- Renf and we have every facility for work ing them with success and on an exten- S1vc sSzle- Our experience of the last seven years have taught us some degree If pash and self-reliance in seeking out markets for our products, while our fiscal arrangements are such as to make Canada a cheap place to live Tn, and thus to af- fo<d better opportunities for turning our timber lands especially to most profitable account The timber made in Ontario goes chiefly tO the States: while Quebec sends to England, the United States and South America. The maritime provinces send a good deal of the products of their forests tO the West Indies and South America; while British Columbia has, on the vest side of the continent. made be- ginning in q commerce with Chili, Peru, China and the Sandwich Islands, which gives every promise of speedily reaching formidable dimensions The following statement shows the extent of the traffic .in each of the provinces. Ontario last year sold lumber of various kinds to the amount of S6, log, 54a; Quebec, S12, ,O59,- 6SA: New Brunswick, $3,356, 229; Nova Scotia. $3, 159, ,Sa7; and British Columbia. SSl4,S11. There IS no reason whatever why we should not do an enormous busi- ness an lumber with South America and the West Indies, taking the various pro- ducts of these countries; in return.-Io- r0RtO Globe.
 Gov. Booth is much too strong a man to be greatly injured by the reports circu. Iating m reference to the use of money in his election as United States senater. The investigation now pending in Californis not only does not implicate him but has failed as yet to prove that there was bri bcry on the part of any one. It looks now as If the whole thing had been plotted te iniure him by his enemies, the railroad ring.
