At the Cape Of Good Hope, near
Table Mountain, the clouds come
down very low now and then without
dropping in rain. At such a time,
if traveller should 60 under tree
for shelter from the threatening
storm, he would find himself in q
drenching shower, while out in the
open, away from any tree or shrub,
everything would be as dry as n
bone /! The cloud or mist is rather
warmer than the leaves, you see, and
so, when it touches them, it changes
into clinging drops, which look like
dew. Fresh drops keep forming |;
they run together, and, at length,
the water drips off the leaves like
rain. And this process goes on
until the clouds lift and the sun
comes out again.
A manual of morals for the public
schools is demanded by the Toronto
World. cit should lay broad and
deep" says this journal, "the foun-
dation of moral duty, it should
show, clearly and simply, the newt
able consequences of moral evil, it
should form regular part of every
day school exercises. Such man
ual would teach a morality utterly
apart from the sanction of sect or
dogma, yet which could not fail to
advance that which surely ought to
be the highest aim Of every sect,
church and denomination, training
the young to lead lives Of charity
temperance and justice"
The law making elementary edu-
cation compulsory in France, which
has just oeen promulgated, marks
most important epoch in the history
and, perhaps in the destiny of that
country. The characteristic fea-
lures of the law consists of four
clauses: Clause l sets forth the
curriculum Of subjecta all French
citizens are bound to be taught /;
Clause II enacts that their shall be
no school on one day of the week,
in order to allow parents, if they
wish to do SO, to give their children
religious instruction outside tho
school; by Clause III the clergy are
deprived of the rights of inspection
and surveillance, both in public and
private schools, which they had
possessed; Clause Nv is the pivit Of
the law, for it is the one that makes
education compulsory, whether in
private or public schools. Such is
the famous law which has set one
half of the French nation at enmity
with the other.

Owing to the many aspersions that
have been cast upon the worthy proprie-
tor OF the Ocean View House for his
reception Of many of the excursionists
visiting Public Landing during the pres
ent season we wonld like to say word
in his defence The position Of hotel
proprietor is responsible and peculiar
one. Owing on the one hand to his
guests. uneniting attention. and on the
other to bis transient visitors, kindly
reception, hut When these two interests
come in conflict then of course he has to
protect his boarders at any cost The
causes that have led to the few instan ,es
Of an unsatisfactory reception on the
part of our worthy proprietor can be
easily explained and will convince any
reasonable man of the business of his
action. II hotel keeper must be COM
PEELED to allow his piazzss and bis
halls to be occupied by parties who are
utterly regardless of all requirements Of
persons in their situation, worrying the
toarders with indecent language aud
soiliDg the floors with mud and tobacco
juice, Mr.. Davis owed it both to him
self, his family and bis guests, to invite
such people to quarters more conjeDial
to them. As regards his refusal of wa
ter to excursion parties it was merely
matter of self defence and no one should
have expected him to have permitted an
already low spriog to be completely
drawn dry. have considered it my
duty to make these few remarks in our
proprietor's defence. GUEST.
