TORONTO. Ont Sept. 10, 1879.
The announcement that the viceregal party would
continue their tour OF inspection to-day brought On
unusual number of visitors to the Exhibition
Grounds. The weather was everything but pleasant
or agreeable, and the roads running through the
grounds were very muddy. Notwithstanding these
drawbacks. the viceregal visitors arrived on the
grounds shortly after eleven o'clock. The first
building visited by them was that In which dairy
products exhibited. Their Excellencies were
shown each display. and before leaving the building
expressed themselves highly pleased with the very
crcdtable exhibition OF this industry. The horticul
tural department next visited. and the excel
lent show of fruit occasioned favorable
ments from the distinguished visitors. From this
building the party proceeded to the horse ring.
There they were accommodated with seats on plat
FORM where they received the Industrial
address on the occasion Of their first visit. From
this point they shown the prize animals. which
were led around the ring. The Governor General 10
understood to have said the display equal.
IL not superior. to anything of the kind in
Europe.
While at the Ampitheatre Princess Louise pre-.
sented Miss Hamilton of Ontario. and Miss Mary
lady riders. On leaving the horse ring the vice.
regal party made hurried visit through the poultry
department.
At two O'Clock His Exceliency and the Princess
drove from the Exhibition Grounds tho site of the
new Home for Incurables. where Her Royal High
ness laid the stone of tho institution. The
village of parkdale had prepared for the occasion by
erecting arch at tho intersection OF four
roads, and the platform ut the scene of the cerc-
monies was gayly decorated with bunting. The
party were received by the trustees OF the Home
the Council of Parkdale and conducted to their
places. The Rev. DIR. Topp then Welcomed
them in few words and called upon
the Rev. Mr.. Broughall, OF st. stephens
Church. for prayer. Tho Hon. William McMurich
read q statement of the origin. progress and
prospects OF the institution, to which His Excel
lency replied expressing his best wishes for its conn
pletion. Mr.. McMurich then called upon Her Royal
Hghness to lay the corner stone OF the building
presenting her ut the same time with trowel pre-
pared for the occasion. which bears the following
inscription = Presented to Her Royal Hghness the
Princess Louise. September 49, 1879. on tho occasion

General Buffers Crowning Nomina-

John Van Buren, used to tell story of q
lady who was so very tall that he had to be
introduced to her tour or five times be-
fore she would recognize him. Gen
eral Butler has found it necessary to
have an equal number of introduce
tions to the people of Massachusetts, in
order to get recognized as a candidate for
Governor. The final and most ceremoni-
Gus presentation was made yesterday, and
this tall lady as a regular suitor for
her hand. He will prove o bold
wooer, if not successful one. He
has more good qualities than his detract-
ors give him credit for, and will make o
stronger canvass than would be possible
for any other man in the State under SINH
lar circumstances. General Butler is the
best abused man of his time, and yet there
are few men who have SO much personal
popularity. Odd and original characters
are apt to be popular favorites, and
since the death of Mr.. Greeley there
has been no American politician with
such marked peculiarities of individual
character as General Butler. 1t is not mere
oddity that ia SO attractive to the multi
tude, but oddity combined with ability,
force of character and general kindliness
of heart. If the General is hard hitter he
is also faithful friend, and he is in his ele-
ment in leading the nondescript fragments
of broken parties which compose his pres
ent political following. He marshals them
under the banner of State reform, and no.
body can question that there is great need
of reform in the State government of Massa-
chusetts. Such men mny act a useful part
when effete parties are disintegrating and
old political machines await bold ICON
oclast to smash and demolish them.

Russia and self-Goverr,nent.

Between the complicated, omnipresent
machinery of the Russian administration
and the Russian masses there is little SYM
pathy. The administration, from the high
secretaries down to the local petty officers,
have looked on the people as an ostrich. to
be as closely plucked of its valuable feathers
as is consistent with keeping it alive. The
immense bureaucracy that in the name OF
the Czar thus grinds down the people rep
resents carefully to the Court and the world
outside that no other treatment is COM
patible with keeping up stable govern
ment. This and the resentment which
it creates have given the nihilist
agitators their chance. There have
not been wanting among the ruling
classes, undoubtedly including the Gear
himself, many thoughtful minds who have
doubted the feasibility Of continuing the
present state OF affairs. 1t cannot fail to be
known to the Russian government that the
discomfort which is called nihilism is not
necessarily or even in large part danger
Gus discomfort that desires to turn society
upside down. All the dissatisfied are
and so forth, because all are muzzled by the
government unless they take secret means
to spread their opinions. AS only the ex-
tremists take the risk of prosecution and
imprisonment, the moderates, who would
simply ask modicum of self-government
to begin with, are altogether unheard-
certainly outside of Russia They
have, however, helped and taken
advantage of the nihilist propaganda,
hoping in the end to profit by it.
Nihilism, properly regarded, is only pro-
test against things as they are. 1t is sup
ported by constitutional monarchists and
conservative republicans, as well as by
radical republicans and socialists-their
number and Importance being in the order
mentioned. Any change, therefore, in the
direction of representative government
would detach large classes from the discon-
tented and give the great nation breathing
time for its next step forward. 1t is, doubt
less, from clear view of this fact that the
Emperor Alexander has taken the new
measure for remodelling the Depart
ment of the Interior, which will give
| Russia as near an approach to q
Parliament as is compatible with the system
of appointment from above. 1t may seem
q small instalment Of representative gov
ernment in American eyes, but it is great
stride forward, nevertheless. Conducted in
the spirit of its design, it can bring into
o central body with legislative power clear
| ideas Of the necessities of the different por-
tions of the Empire-ideas which have been
unattainable under the old, strictly bu-
reaucratic system, whereby reform was
translated revolution and complaint trans
lated revolt. The working of this new
body, whose composition was described in
our St Petersburg letter of yesterday, will
| be Watched with great interest.

THE WEATHER.-Th barometer is above the
mean in all the districts east of the Rocky
Mountains, there being two distinct centres of
high pressurc-onc over the Middle Atlantic
coast and the other west of the Mississippi
River. The depression which dominated the
weather throughout the lake regions during
the past few days has almost entirely passed
away, but its inlucnceis still felt in avery pccu-
liar manner over the lower lakes. The pressure
is beginning to decrease again on the Gulf
coasts. and there are indications Of the develop
ment of n disturbance in the Central Gulf of
Mexico. Rain fell in the lake regions, Middle
Atlantic States and on the Eastern Gulf coast.
Elsewhere the weather was fine. The winds
have been generally fresh throughout the country.
The temperature has risen in the Gulf and South
Atlantic States remained stationary in the central
valleys and has fallen in the other districts. The
weather over the British Islands is becoming
unsettled. The weather in New York and its
vicinity to-day will be colder and partly cloudy,
possibly with occasional rains in the early por-
iion. Tomorrow it will be cold aud fair.

clans have not taken due account We refer
to the party which has nominated Mr..
Lewis, who represents the rising opposi-
ton OF the agricultural and business in
terests of the State to the abuses and extor-
active, bitter and widely dffused. Mr..
Evarts seems to be the only prominent re-
publican who has not underestimated its
possible influence in the election. In the
interview with Secretary Evarts, which we
published day or two since, he remarked
that "neither his own party nor the demo-
cratic party appears to have given the
nomination of Mr.. Lewis the estimate
it truly deserves. He is gentle
man of most excellent repute, a
thrifty farmer, man Of noble
qualities, aud, withal, a republican, whose
candidacy might bear the same results to
the regular republican nominee that the
course of Tammany would have to tho nom-
ination of Governor Robinson" This view
of the situation shows that Mr.. Evarts is
closer observer Of the elements of the cam
vass than the machine politicians, whose
vision is bounded by the ordinary party
antagonisms.
1t may be safely assumed that whatever
secret management and political subtlety
aided by money, can do to strengthen re-
publican opposition to Mr.. Cornell will be
done by Mr.. Tilden with his customary
astutcness and dcxteriy. He knows

cence OF the administration repub-

ever compelled to accept as his meat"

| cannot close without reyerting to the
injurious effect of concentrated foods.
In this connection I would advise q very
cautious use not only of those have al
ready mentioned, such as eggs and gluten,
but also of all canned meats and fish and
concentrated broths or meat extracts.
All these articles should be used, III con-
nection with plenty of vegetables and
water, or bread. Wheaton crackers will
not take the bread because they present
no waste MATTER; Graham crackers are
much more wholesome because they con.
tain plenty of waste. But an abundant
supply of fresh vegetables is the accom-
paniment for all concentrated foods.
In regard to the effect of cooking upon
food a very few words must suffice. To
give even an outline of the subject would
require more time than has been set
apart for this lecture. The best food is
of small use unless it is properly cooked.
On the other hand appetizing and whole
some dishes can be produced from simple
and inexpensive materials. Headwork
as well as handwork must be given to
the mastery of culinary mysteries, and
yet the whole art can SO far be simplified
as to place it within the understanding
of a child

Curiosities Of Human Food.

Man has been wonderfully ingenious
from his infancy in the connection of
edible varieties. Apart from baked
human thighs in Fejee, and boiled
fingers in Sumatra, there are certain
culinary fashions still extant, which
must be marvelously unintelligible to a
convenoionalized appetite. Not that it
appears strange to eat ducks tongues in
China, kangaroos' tails in Australia, or
the loose covering of the great elk's nose
in New Brunswick. Not even that it is
startling to see an Esquimaux eating
his daily enthusiastically pounds in
weight of flesh and oil-or akut COM
peting in ,racity with a boa constric-
tor; but WHO would relish stew of red
ants in Burmah, a half-hatched egg in
China, monkey outlets and parrot pies in
Rio Janeiro and bats in Malabar, or
| polecats and prairie wolves in North
America? Yet there can be little doubt
that these are UNIV arrantable prejudices.
DR.. Shaw enjoyed lion; Mr.. Darwin
had a passion for puma; DIR. Brookes
makes affidavit that melted bears grease
is a most refreshing potion. And how
can we disbelieye, after the testimony of
| Hippocrates, as to the flavor of boiled
dog? If squirrels are edible in the East,
! be good on the Amazon, and elephants
paws in South Africa, why should we
compassionate such races as have little
sure that if, as Montesquieu affirms,
/ there are valid reasons for not eating
pork, there are reasons quite as unim-
| peachable for eating giraffe, alpacha,
mermaids' tails, bustard and anaconda.

A Curious Family Dispute.

A curious case, says a Paris paper, has
just been decided at Fontain bleau, where
a M and Nine. Missiessy appeared in court
to plead against each other for two of
their daughters. 1t appears that this
married couple have seven children
five daughters and two sons-and that
the father had insisted on the three eld-
est daughters becoming nuns. The
mother offered no resistance; but when
it came to depriving her of her two re-
naming daughters, who were also dis
patched to a convent in spite of her en-
treaties and delicate health, she appealed
to the secular arm. The court endeav-
orcd to shake the determination of the
husband, but he remained inflexible, de-
claring that voice from above had
called upon him to submit, and that his
daughters should remain where they
are. The court of Fontainbleau took a
middle course, and decided that the two
young ladies in question should be re
leased from the clustered convent in
which they have been imprisoned, and
sent to the celebrated Convent of the
Oiseaux in Paris, which is not clustered,
and where they will be able to receive
the visits of their parents.
