fdll Will scarcely terminate HIS power,
and his Journal calmly asks how long
the next Ministry Will last, and how
long this Chamber itself will be per-
mitted to endure. President Greyy,
however, treats it as an ordinary resig-
nation, and will, it is believed, form a
Cabinet of passed Ministers, with NJ.
Leon Say, M. de Freycinet, NJ. Wilson,
NJ, Waldeck- Rousseau, and the like,
all in it. According to the latest tele-
grams, he has sent for NJ. Leon Say,
who has never YET been Premier, and
has asked him to form a Government
and so at least relieve the financial
situation. NJ. Leon Say is reported
TO be most unwilling, but as a Govern
ment is almost impossible without
him, he will probably consent either
to take the lead or to become Minis
ter of Finance. The alternatives to
M. Say are NJ. de Freycinet, NJ. Jules
Ferry or NJ. Brisson; but the latter
may not choose to abandon the
Presidency Of the Chamber to form a
Government which, with NJ, Gambet-
ia in opposition, must necessarily be
weak. a Ministry OF some kind will
be put together, but it can scarcely
be one which foreign Governments
will trust, or which can carry out q
steady policy. The frStresult, ofthc
change will probably the loss OF the
commercial treaty, and an explosion
of some kind in Egypt.
On 1Tuesday, Professor U5neI, in
the German Parliament, made an
attack upon the Prussian Roscript,
which called up Prince Bismarck,
who, in S speech Of extraordinary
yigour and violence, reiterated all the
ideas of that document. We have
stated the main points OF his speech
elsewhere, and need only say here
that he rcasserted the'supremc autho-
ritv of the King owe Ministers in
the most absolute fashion, declaring
that a Minister was only u scapogoat,
and Denounced the idea that he
. brought forward The Nonarch's name
TO shield himself as a charge OF per
sonal co%wardice. The lett denied this
Interpretation, aqd the Prince told
them they might thank God they did
deny it. The speech was Of great
length and very able, and for all It's
outbursts, must have been carefully
premeditated. The Emperor, when
he had read it, sent his own aide-de-
camp to the Prince, to convey his
personal thanks for so energetic a
defence of the Royal authority. The
difficulty is, to know why 1t was
made. Nobody is attacking the Royal
authority, the resistance in Prussia
being TO a form of Poor-law, and toths
removal of certain Catholic disabilities.
So far from attacking the Throne,
the Liberals in the German Parlia-
ment seem half afraid to discuss its
proceedings, and studiously refrain
from suggesting that the King can
have ordered the Rescript to be issued.
There must be some motive still I'M
revealed behind this outburst of self
assertion.
A feature is to be remarked in this

it's present condition can teach them.
That, however, as Sir Thomas Acland
thinks, is not much, when compared
with the unreasoned and half-reason-
ed traditions of the best agricultural
practice. "The fact is, agriculture is
a most complicated and uncertain art.
The sciences from which agriculture
seeks help are many no practical
man can master them all. To turn
their ~clearest lessons to good account
requires a well-trained mind, and what
is more, a sound judgment" If that
be SO, good farming may even suffer
to some extent from the dogmatism
of the very inadequate theories which
are preached in connection with it,
Just as practical morality has suffered
often enough from the dogmatism Of
the very inadequate theories OF ethl-
cal obligation
The Legislative Council in India,
on the 10Th inst, repealed the Verna-
cular Press Act, and restored to the
natives the liberty of discussion, sub
iect to the ordinary laws Of libel and
sedition. As we hold this liberty to
be a right, especially in a conquered
country, we do not care to discuss
consequences but we may just
mention that the native papers III
India have not an average circulation
of 1000; that Of the 100000, 0OO OF
the population, not 10 millions ever
heard of a newspaper, and not one
million ever saw one; that all genuine
agitation is conducted by letters which
are not liable to seizure, and that
opinioa is formed in the market
place, the bathing-place, and the
street, and not in public, houses.
There is absolutely no reason for m
terfering with the Press which would
not apply moro st~ronglysto the rights
of, meeting and Of speaking freely.
When Indian journalists can affect or
even reach the true population, we
may go, for our work will have been
done.
M. Gambetta has fallen. The
great debate on Revision came off
, 1882-02-22

A feature is to be remarked in this
debate not sufficiently noticed. Prince
Bismarck spoke, as usual, of the ne
cessity of Royal power in a kingdom
like Prussia, hemmed in Oh all sides
bv frst-class armies; and Herr Won
Putkammer alluded quite distinctly
to dangers in the immediate distance,
the indications of which the public
had not noticed, but which, when
they arrived would show everybody
the true value of the authority of the
Throne. Herr Won Putkammer is a
favourite at Court, and "a very re-

great debate ON h6VlSlon C""iG VII
on Thursday, and with the exception
of M. Gambetta's own speech, proved
a very dull one. The Premier him
self, except in a splendid passage de-
Tending himself from the charge Of
seeking a Dictatorship, was rather
too argumentative, and no other
eminent person joined in the debate.
The minds of Members, in fact, were
made up, and as usual in France, the
Chamber proceeded papidly to ter
inmate the crisis. M. Barodet first
proposed Revision, pure and simple,
without limitations but this was re-
iected, by 298 to 173, and the Com
m%ittee's resolution proposing limited
revision, but claiming a right with
out limit, was then brought forward.
M. Gambetta, after his speech, pro-
posed to leave out the line clam
inc the right; but the Chamber in
the teeth of its previous vote, refused,
by 282 to 227. NJ. Gambetta then
announced that, as the Chamber
claimed revision without limits, his
Government had resigned. He adop-
ted this course, it is believed, partly
to conciliate the electors, who dread
unlimited revision, and partly to avoid
resigning on his own immediate pro-
posal, Scrutin de Liste. This was, on
bis withdrawal, Immediately put to the
vote, and defeated by 800 to l'T, a
majority of nearly three to one. The
Committees resolution was then put
en-, bloc, and carried by 262to 81; and
the chamber is therefore committed
to tie revision Of the CONSTITUTION.
Under those circumstance, OF course,
the Senate, which is directly aimed
at, will throw out the Bill.

n. de Merejkow5ki, in ii recent
lecture delivered in Paris, reported
by Wednesdays Times, appears 10
have shown that the c~rustacean~
care for light as light, much as we
do, but do not show more preference
for one colour than another, except
so far as one colour contains o
light tLan another, When the ex-
~periInenter admitted a ray Of light to
The vessel in which they were, the
creatures all crowded round it.
When he admitted two rays sepe-
rateiy, they always preferred the
brighter ray, and the white light to
any other colour. Thus they appear
to be very unlike the ants Of which
Sir John Lubbock has shown that
that they greatly perfer the red to
the violet ray, not because they like
the light,-they prefer the darkness,
but because they are less SEN
siti,e to the red rays than to the
violet and ultraviolet rays. The
red rays, apparently, affect the ants
as something moreIike darkness than
the violet or ultraviolet rays. The
crusraceans, on the contrary, seem
drawn to the light, not away from it,
but see the light with much the same
eyes as we Go. What are called the
chemical rays do not affect the
crustaceans at all, while they affect
the ants very painfully.

Death Of 8. b. Jennings.

Last week a dispatch was received
at.P Portsmouth that S. B. Jennings,
formerly proprietor of the Biggs
House, Portsmouth, had been found
dead in his bed, at Kansas City, Mis-
souri,. He had had consumption for
several years, but he was not thought
to be so near death. His wife was in
Portsmouth, and the body was brought
home to be buried.
Mr. Jennings was born in Hamden,
July 8, 1916, and was named after Mr..
Bundy-Sanford Bundy Jennings
He served honorably in the war. He
was man universally respected where
he was known.
The last time we saw the deceased
was at his marriage, March 20, 1881
He sent kind invitation to the sen
editor of the Standard and Mrs
Mackley, to attend his marriage, to
which we both responded, and it was
sAe Of the most pleasant marriages we
ever attended.
We deeply sympathize with the
sorrow-stricken widow, and other rel
atiyes and friends.

Afew weeks ago sent you a postal asking

not stop at Calman as anticipated, but went on
to Canton, Dakota. I came direct through Iowa
| Saw some fine country. Passed through one
prairie over one hundred miles wide. 1t was
the first extensive prairie that 1 ever was on
| 1t looked lonesome and solitary, with nothing
but artificial groves to break the monotony
But was well pleased with the country, and
believe would like to live on the prairie after
became more accustomed to 1t. Small grain
| was looking well, but corn will be light crop
| too cold and wet. ..--
arrived at Canton, Dakota, the night OF the
Sth inst. Canton is quite n fiou1ishing little
town, located near the Big Sioux River. 1t is
only three four years old, but has a popula-
tion of about 800. 1t has two railroads, good
soil and water-everything TO make it pros
porous place. Dakota is being settled very fast,
and has all the facilities to become rich coun-
try. left Canton Monday following my a1ri-
val there. and came back into Iowa, and about
As miles south. am now 26 miles north OF

little town, and located in one of the richest
valleys (Big Sioux of the West. 1t is being set
tied very fast-soil and water good. Good mar
ket for all kinds of produce and live stock. All
kinds of crops are looking well. This was once
a grasshopper region, but they have all disap- |
peared and the people have ABOUT recovered
from the effects of their destructiveness.

We felicitate our friends who partici-
pated in the great donation party at our
home on the evening of the 2Oth'inst. We
were completely surprised. Surprised at
the extent and perfection of the arrange

good will, and more than all by the tender
regard for us in our declining years, SO
pleasantly manifested by the vast COM

as by those contributors who could not
be present.
During our remaining days that even.

not then give expression to our feeling
we cannot now. Friends, our gratitude
is only limited by our capacity to feel
our thankfulness is beyond the power OF

Fatherly keeping, and may your lives be
