Male Dinners.

Male dinners are In general mot amusing
When they are formed, as they usually are, OF
men who are supposed to possess d strong ard
common sympathy-political, sporting, liters-
ry, military social-there is necessarily mon
otony of thought and feeling, and Of the mate
rials which induce thought and feeling. In
male dinner of party politicians, conversation
soon degenerates into what Is termed "shop;"
anecdotes about divisions, criticism of speeches,
coniectures about office, speculations on i'm
pending elections, and above all, that heinous
subject on which enormous ibs are told, the
registration. There are, however, occasional
g.impses N their talk which would seem to in
innate that they have another life outside the
Houses Of Parliament. But that extenuuing
circumstance doe not apply to the sporting
dinner. There they begin with odds aud ham
dicaps. and end with handicaps and odds, and
it is doubtful whether it ever occurs to any
one present that there is any other existing
combination of atoms except odds and handi-
caps. A dinner Of wits is proverbially a pal
ace Of silence, and the envy and hatred which
all literary men feel, especially when they are
exchanging dedications of mutual affection,
always insures, in such assemblies tue agreea-
BILE presence of a general feeling OF painful
constraint. II good thing occurs TO guest,
he will not express it lest his neignbor, who is
publishing novel in numbers, shall appropri-

sire to learn something of the maneuVres at
the Russian and Prussan reviews, or ths
last rumor at Aldersbot or the military clubs,
will know where to find this feast Of reason.

50 on inquiry found it was generally under

readers may find it useful TO know the fact
should they go to reside in Bristol.
The city is a fayorite of mine among cities,
and its residents are Of the kindliest, but they
do cling with too great obstinacy to their old
WAYS. Only a little while back, as 1t seems
but it is thirty years find by the register-the
corporation decided that London time should
not be kept by their clocks. The result was
that innumerabe mistakes arose, and trains
were continually being missed by the good
people of the town, while with strangers 1t was
still worse, until the very odd phenomenon
was exhibited of nearly every clock in every
shop having three hands; one minute hand
showed the local, the other the railway time,
orcasioning no small perplexity to those who
beheld the arrangement for the first time. 1t
was really much such difficulty as Is caused
by Russia obstinately adhering to the old style
calendar, and so being always ten or twelve
days behind the rest of Europe in its dates.
But Bristol has yielded to the innovation, and
SO some day will Russia.

is as follows: Each member is ex-

take 1t out and show it TO him. If the latter
does not forthaith croduce his peanut and
show it to the challenger he is fined 81,

The Future of the Canadian Do
ninion.
Contemporary Review.l

lContempo' ary hev1eWI
II any dispute arose between Canada and
her great southern neighbor which involved
war, she would speedily succumb, and would
be annexed to the United States. Canada 10
not sufficiently permeated by any vigorous SEN
timent of nationality TO resist the powerful
attractive force Of the American democracy.
She answers to Leigh Hunts conception OF the
United States: "As q nation, cannot get it
out of my head that the Americans are Eng
lishmen with the. poetry and romance taken
cut of them; and that there is one great coun-
ter built along their coast, from north to south.
behind which they are all standing, like 50
many inen-drapers. They will be far other
wise, have no doubt, in time, and this un-
christian opinion Of them have come
to nothing" Certainly this is a sufi-
ciently ludierous picture of the Ameri-
cans of the present day, who are diverging
more and more from the English type, who
have the beginnings of new literature, and
in whom we can already detect the germs Of
an altogether new national life. But 1t is
much In accord with the actual condition of
the Canadian people, who want alike the gran
deur and dignity Of the old nationsof Europe
and the marvellous force and colossal energy
OF the United States. Canada seems to lie
stranded there among the SHOWS and ice Of the
North, separated alike from the historic cul-
ture Of Europe and from the heroic aspira-
tions Of America; sharing none of the precious
traditions OF England, aud untouched by the
breath Of democratic freedom which sweeps
through the United States. 1t is Interesting
materially to the British laborer and food-con-
sumer; 1t has not a shadow OF intellectual sig
nifcance for the thinker. This may not be its
fault; it Is, at any rate, its misfortune mis-
fortune which seems to remove ii from the
category Of possible independent nationslities.
IL may be said that the United States are be-
ing oolonzed now rather h stomachs than by
brains; but the United bt ties are a nation
with grand traditions. The colonization of
New England; the planting Of Pennsy lvania,
the Revolutionary struggle, which, as repre-
sented in Franklin, Samuel Adams and Jeffer-
son, was rather development of the great
Intellectual movement Of the eighteen h cen
tury than mere contest against the English
King and Parliament; the anti-slavery contest;
and, fually, the civil war-all these develop
ments Of the great modern democratic move
ment have made Of America land of ideas,
and have invested even the young raw States
Of the West with halo of poetry and romance.
As compared with this, Canada has merely to
tell of q century Of stagnant provincialism, re-
lieved only by third rate insurrection.

lT.-Augusta Special to Boston Post
The Posts correspondent is in error. The
Fusion ticket in this State was composed
of Samuel Watts, VIM. A. Cromwell, John
P. Donworfh, Solon Chase, Richard A..
Frye, Charles R. Whidden and George W..
Worcester. The straight Greenback ticket
was composed of John F. Turner,
Frank G. Burdin, Jonathan +. Hill
ton, Scion Chase. Richard A. Frye,
Charles R. Whidden, George W. Wor-
cester. Thus it will be seen that Messrs.
Chase, Frye, Whidden and Worcester were
o" both tickets. Mr.. Whidden's vote there
fore represents the Fusion and straight
Greenback strength combined. Obviously
to add Mr.. Turner's vote to Mr.. Whidden's.
as be Posts correspondent does, is to
count the straight Greenback vote twice.
The correction of this error in the Posts
reckoning gives Garfield over 1000 majori.
