Goanod and Georgina weldon.

That ssthe old ones are the worst, !"
whether in love or folly, holds good in the
eyes Of the young, who can always find ex-
cuses for their own weakness or stupidity.
The SHOWS of age are supposed to be so
cooling on the heart that the fire of pretty
eyes cannot make it stir single fibre,
and when it is found that, on the con-
trary, the tough old cardiac region has
been palpitating like steam engine
under the glance of siren, public opinion
calls the owner of the heart fool. So it
was with the wizard Merlin, in the ''Idyls
Of the King and 50 it has been with
the musician Gounod. The vivien
Of the Arthurian legend coquettishly
WRAPPED herself in the old mans hoary
beard ''like a lovely baleful star veiled in
gray vapor." The charming Mrs. Weldon
in the contemporary story patted the COM
poser on his bald head and called him pet
names The legend has all the light
OF poetry upon it and is seen, too,
through the scftening mist of time; in
the plain prose of to-day the story is under
oil the sun-glare that makes unpo-
etic details stick out. But the old
semi-sayage medicine man whom Ten
nyson made 50 much like an Angli
can bishop is o thing Of rags beside the
polished wizard Of the tonic scale-the first
French composer of the time. The first
forest, uncleared Of underbrush, that came
to hand, was good enough scene for Ten
nyson, in which to show how his old man
was made fool but it needed the late home
Of the great novelist Dickens, in the largest
city in the world, for Gounod to come to
grief in. Pretty and ambitious women are
the same in all ages in their way Of dealing
with men, and if we make allowance for
the difference which is implied by scented
note paper and house in Tavistock
square we shall not find much difference
between the fattery and ''soul homage Of
Mrs. Weldon and the wiles of artful Vivien.
1t was with Gounod as with Merlin. Those
who read the strange story elsewhere can
almost see Georgina
Gaze upon him
With such fxt devotion that the old man,
Tho doubtful. felt the iattery. and at times
Would fatter his own wish III age for love
And half believe her true.
We do not know that there was Mrs.
Merlin, but we are certain there was a
Nine Gounod, which made difference
The savage little yivien shut her old focl
up in damp forest, ''lost to life and
use and name and fame;" but Mrs. Weldon
put her old man to work and kept him at
it for three years, turning out operas
and oratorios, songs and symphonies
in way that shows some supe-
riority in the modern method, although
il drove the composer crazy for time.
Gounod, however, got away, while old Mer-
lin, as we. know, is left by the poet befud-
died and asleep in the thicket. There is
some merit in civilization after all.

men in sending them a Viceroy
who will play the same part that
the Queen does in England, neither inter-
vening nor standing prepared to intervene

responsible is now as fully established
and as completely acknowledged in the
Dominion as it is in Great Britain, where
the sovereign 'sreigns but does not govern"
Lord Lorne being thus set free by the
constitution of Canada and the circum-
stances Of his appointment from any con-
nection with party politics, there is no
danger that his popularity can be i'm
paired by political causes. If the Governor
General and the Princess Louise shall be
gracious and affable, and do not make
themselves too difficult of access to persons
who think that they possess social claims;
il they show themselves frequently to the
people without too much ostentation of
dignity if they take an active interest in
education, charities and all bencfcent
movements which are not political if they
make it their study to ditfuse good taste,
good breeding and ref nement, without any
airs Of assumption, the fervid loyalty
which is awakened by their arrival will at
tend them during their sojourn in the
country and strengthen immeastrably the
allegiance Of Canada to the mother country.

The New Lien LAW.

Tho lien law, says tho Journal of Commerce,
which has passed both houscs of the Generll
Assembly, it is hoped will satisfy the planters
and factors, the landlords and tenants. There
was very wide difference of opinion upon
the cxpedienoy of tho lien Inv. By an act
of the Legislature IN December the old law
was repealed. the repeal to date from January
l, 1878. Many farmers were pleased a. this,
and many discontented. Those who were
satisfied urged that the repeal OF the law, by
depriving tho planter of the facility of obtain.
ing supplies at high rates of interest, would
render him more dependent upon his own
resources, and consequently moro thrifty.
Tho others argued that it would crinnle
farming operations, and seriously embarrass
the agricultural interests Of thu country.
The new lien law, which now only awaits tho
signature of the Governor to becbmo' Inv.
repeals the old lion law. and authorizes the
farmer to give lien upon his crop for adj
vances, and q lessurn lion to tho landlord to
secure reGt, this lntter lion to be to the ex-
tent of one third of al crops raised on the
land rentcd. The experiment as to the repeal
of tho old lien law and as to tho collection Of
the lien for advances, is to be tried for ono
year from tho dato OF tho ratification of the
act The section cf the act in reference to
landlords liers, is to remain on the statute
books.

COthraM Ond Mr.sVerMer.

On lust Monday night tho Walhala Cornet
Band assembled in front of Biomaun's Hotel,
together With large number Of our oitizons,
tor the purpose of paying their respects to
Judge Mackoy. After music by the band
tue Judge was loudly called for, when he
appeared in front Of the balcony Of the
hotel, and was introduced to the audience by
Representative Yerner. The Judge was
warmly received and spoke about 80 minutes
IN very happy vein. We shall not attempt
even short synopsis of what he said. Suf-
tice it to say that he gave our pooplo some
good advice in reference to the approaching
canvass in the distant future and the dangers
that lilo before us. lie urged tho Democracy
to DO thoroughly organized and stand as one
man, determined to be victorious 10 the fall
elections. 1t was great mistake, ho said, to
suppose that Radicalism was dead in this
State. lie said that the Radical party in this
State would put full ticket in the field next
fall and would bo baoked by tho great Re-
publican party Of the North and would mako
desperate effort to regain control of the
State Government and carry the elections.
llo paid his respects to the independent can
dtdate and said that he was nothing moro
nor less than Radical in disguise, and that
he should be looked upon and treated as such.
A deserved tribute was paid 10 Gov. Hampton,
who, he said, was the embodiment of all that
was noble, honorable, hightoned and manly.
The Judge then paid q high compliment to
the people of Oconec County as bong among
those in the upper counties who in tho memo.
rable campaign Of 1875. by their united
efforts, brought redemption and civilization
again to the Stute and made US once moro q
free aud happy people. The Judges remarks
were we'll received, and we feel satisfied that
his sound advice and council will not 20
unheeded by our citizens.
Col. j. s. Cothran, the able and distinguished
Solicitor of the Eighth Circuit, was called for
and made very pretty little speech, embodying
sound practical views and good advice, and
hoped that the Democracy of Oconee, in the
campaign Of 1873, would DO as united es It
was in 1876. standing shoulder to shoulder,
battling manfulIy for honesty, home rule, and
low taxes. COL C. is a fine speaker and our
people take delight in doing him honor and to
show their high appreciation Of his worth and
ability.
After music by tho band. Judge Mackey, in a
happy manner, introduced Representative Yer.
ner who made speech setting forth tho dfH
cu'tics, trials aud troubles that our Legislature
has had to contend with in setting on foot again
IN honest and economical government His re-
marks were to the point and were delivered in
his usual artistic STYLE
