There was a church-opening at Wood.
lands last week, says a late copy of the
Winnipeg (Manitoba) Free Press, and
the clergymen who participated in the
ceremonies, on the trip home to Winni-
peg, met with an adventure which is
worth recording. A prairie fire was
raging furiously, and the strong wind
blew the flames directly toward them,
compelling the party, if they wished to
make home that night, to rush through
the flames. This course of action was
decided upon. Tho Rev. Messrs. Forth
and Matheson, who were in high
buggy, escaped with but a slight sing
ing of their whiskers; but the Rev.
Canon O'Meara, who, with Mrs.
O'Melra was driving ina low blackboard,
did not escape SO easily. Mr.. O'Meara's
whiskers were scorched and his face
burned, while Mrs. O'Meara's veil,
which covered her face, caught fire more
than once, she, however, fortunately not
being injured by the flames. The
horses names and tails were also singed,
but otherwise the animals were unin-
| iured.

81. Petersburgh Without the car.

A st. Petersburgh correspondent
writes The empress is regent of the
empire in the absence of the emperor at
the seat of war. Her majesty is a
woman of strong understanding and fine
education. She was reared with the ex-
pectation of being married into the
reigning family of Russia. She is dis
tinguished for kindness of heart, benevo-
lence, and amiability of character. Her
gay and cheerful disposition is in marked
contrast with the habitual melancholy of
Alexander. His majesty would have
avoided the war had not the Panslavist
party been too powerful for him to re-
sist. Since he has been forced into it
he has been oppressed with sorrow at
the immense sacrifice of life it has occa-
stoned, the unskillful manner in which
it has been conducted, and the corrupt
practices which have characterized every
branch of the military administration.
As | wrote in previous letter, he is not
willing to return to st. Petersburgh
until the honor of his arms has been
redeemed by successes which will oblit-
crate the memory of past reverses. All
the imperial princes are with him. He
lives in Bulgarian howell, in the midst
of all kinds of discomforts, and his sons
are housed in tents, which in rainy
weather are enveloped by sea OF mud
The great palaces at the capital, with
their luxurious equipments, are, for the
most part, closed, the empress living in
her own apartments. There are no re-
ceptions, no balls, and no court enter
tainments of any kind. Some Of the
large rooms are occupied by the ladies
of the Red Cross Society. who, under
the superintendent Of the empress,
daily meet there to prepare lint, band
ages, and stores of different kinds for the
relief of the Russian wounded, Hel
majesty plies the needle as busily as the
noble danes under her orders, and sets

she rarely presides over ministerial
council, and leaves everything to Count
Miliutin, the minister of war. He is, a
present, virtual ruler of Russia, for the
emperor and Gortschakoff are too mucl
occupied with military operations ii
Turkey to give the government of the
empire the attention it deserves.

The Banana Tree.

The banana tree is succulent plant.
filled with cells containing water. 1t
grows ten or twelve feet in height, and,
from the top of the tree go forth half a
dozen green, smooth leaves. six feet
long and foot broad, curving down
ward, with strong mid-rib running
through the middle. An individual tree
yields only one bunch of fruit, and then
dies, or is cut down; but from around
its roots have sprung up perhaps as
many as dozen shoots to bring forth
fruit in due season." From this pecu-
liarity it comes to pass that in com.
paratively short time grove of bananas,
If left alone or encouraged, will cover
over many acres of ground, with hun,
dreds or more of ripe or unripe punches.

"God Knows Who was Right"

A number of federal soldiers during the
late war have determined. we understand, to
present Maj or Thomas 6. Jones, of Alabama,
a medal 1t will! be remembered that Major
Jones delivered memorial address at Mont
gomery, Alabam, in 1874, which attracted
much attention at the time. Subsequently
he visited Washington, where he was the
recipient Of n dinner gotten up by federal SOL
diers. on which occasion he made a speech,
in which he touchingly referred, among 9TH
er things, to old Virginian who had two
sous killed in each army, and after the war
buried them side by side in the old family
ground. On the monument he placed the
names of each, with the words, "God knows
who was right"
1t is the intention of those who have the
matter in charge to put in the center on one
side of the medal a quotation from the me-
mortal address, as follows THE law which
nerved these men to die was craven on their
inmost souls by tho finger of the Almighty"
On the outer rim there will be quotation
from the dinner speech. as follows: 1--WE
can bequeath our children nobler legacies
than discords and hates" In the centre,
below the middle it is intended to put these
words: "Honor to noble foes is the warrior s
highest courage" On the reverse side there
is to be figure Of Peace, aud this inscrip>
ton: "Over plighted iaith, sealed by a
warriors grave, Truth, Mercy and Charity
alone should hover" and below the follow>
ing: "Gud knows who was right" On
the outer rim is to be this inscription From
Union soldiers to Major. Thomas G. Jones,
late c. S. A, for manly words spoke on Memo,
rial day, April 1874, at Montgomery,
Alabnma." - Washington Sunday Herald

KEEp1NG Down THE TEEDs.-The only
remedy for weeds is prompt destruction in
young state. Weeds are easily eradicated if
never allowed to advance beyond the seed
leaf Once let their roots run deep and wide,
and their tops run high, and then weeds are
masters in the garden. 1t provokes one TO
sec the complacency with which some culti-
vators allow weeds to establish themselves in
flower beds or borders on roads and walks,
and their subsequent futile efforts to subju>
gate them. Prompt destruction will ultimate
ly vanquish the very worst of them. Plain
taius. grass. thistles and docks, are perhaps
the most difficult to eradicate. But if BY
any neglect these have gained strong foot
hold in a garden. constan, heading along will
destroy them. No plant can live long If new
er allowed to form leaves or stems, and the
shortest, surest. easiest way to eradicate the
worst weeds is by iucessapt cutting OF Of all
their visible parts

The Country Editor.

You see him on the street while he ramblos
from point to point, and you regard him ~
one without money or brains. He reads the
signs and peers in at every shop window With
the unsophisticatedness of verdant youth, but
beneath his greenness is an importune that
smacks of dignity. He may look like some
belated straggler from a flock Of sheep, bat
upon his broad, generous shoulder has leaped
many IN obscure individual into the halls Of
legislation and Congress. 1t was his ink
soiled fingers that placed in solemn lines the
type that recouated his virtues and sent forth
10 the world his fitness and qualifications for
Office within the gift of the people, and yet
the poor medium by which his ambition
found strength and his aspiration success, re-
ceives only thanks, and off times not that
much reward
We love to shake the hand Of country
editor. We find in him the true working
man of the land. He works not only with
his hands, but with his brain. Under his
magic work towns grow into cities, black
smith shops grow into foupdries and the little
bunch of cottages are transformed into palatiaf
mansions. These changing scenes go on, and
yet the country editor tolls on as he did when
his village was in its infancy There il no
reward for his work other than the satisfac-
ton of knowing that he aud be alone wrought
the glorious improvement.
Few know the trials and troubles Of
country editor. He lives, like the preacher.
upon the charities Of his patrons. One day
he may revel in the luxuriance Of load of
wood, and the next day sbiver in the absence
of food. He tolls on, nevertheless. he goes
on building his town. electing ungrsteful as
pirauts to office, and gives each aud every
citizen shove mp the hill of life, down which
he is allowed to tumble.
Therefore when Col. Tooster comes into
our sanctum. we feel as if We were more hons
ored than if Ben Hill or Chief. Justice Brad
ley had visited US. We love the country ed
itor. And although he is but q trife worse
off in this worlds goods than the poor scribe
of the city, we feel as if he was one of the
noblest works Of God. in that he does moro
for his fellowmen and is paid less for il than
any other creature on earth.
