lBeacOnsfield's Double,

The London World thus describes Sir
John Macdonald. Beaconsfieldis double:
Sir John Macdonald, the Canadian
Prime Minister, who has just arrived in
town, is likely to create a good deal of a
sensation in society for reasons other than
connected with his mission. The Canadian
Premier supplies likeness to Lord Bes.
contieid which is almost bewilderipg in its
exacutude. II Sir John, having nearly
observed our Premier's dress, were to pos
sess himself Of costume of the same m AXE
and were to ak into the House of Lords, no
one of the doorkeepers would think of stop
ping him, while the Marquis OF Salisbury
might be expected to gently press the hand
Of his dear friend and inquire after the
govt. Consciously or unconsciously Sir
John assists nature with n few touches of
art. He wears his hsir precisely as Lord
Beacontield wears his, or rather az the
Premier wore his when he was about eigh-
teen years younger. His face is closely
shaver, ana its whole shape, color and eX-
preston are phenomenally like Beaconsfield.
Nor is the similitude confined to physical
features. Sir John Macdonald has many Of
the social and political qualities OF Lord
Bsaconshe!d. He is witty and graceful in
conversation, epigrammatic in Parliament,
and audacious in politics.

Cotton.
[Aususta Chronicle and Constitutionalist-
The wet weather of the past few days has
had marked effect upon all vegetables not
destroyed BY the long drouth. Cotton will
be greatly benefited, but the corn crop in
many localities was so severely injured by
the almoe, unprecedented leng by hot and
dry epell that II is doubtful whether the long
deferred rain could do much good IN such
cases. There are places. however, where
the crop was not dsmsg-d TO 30 great an

result in increasing the yield.
The refreshing showers that have fallen

No Faith in quarantine.


We have lost whatever faith we ever had
in quarantine. The yellow fever nov pre-
vailing here is of undisputed local origin.
We have. therefore, no confidence in the
efficacy of quarantine to prevent a recur-
ring visit Of the plague. The Mulbrsndon
case is supposed to have originated in fom-
ties preserved in trunk; the Ray case to
privy poison, but the Tobin case is one
tnst, having no connection with the others,
and originating no one can tell where, puz
zles the will aud dumbfounds the most ex-
pert. There is not, and has not been, case
Of yellow fever reported this summer any
where on the Gulf or South Atl-ntic coast,
or in the interior of the country, save here,
and We have not had any Cuban, Mexican.
Brazilian or West Indian visitors. There
fore it could not have been imported. The
theory of local origin, whatever may have
been the causes of its first appearance, il
thus well established, and the quarantine
theorists will have to step down and out.
