The meeting of the British Association
AT Montreal which began Wednesday,
is II memorable epoch in its annals
For the first time this great scientific
Parliament has consented to transfer it
self from its home in Great Britain and
make temporary sojOurn i'll the Greater
Britain on this side of the Atlantic. The
most eminent of the younger men, at
least, in every department of scientific re
search which the British Isles have de
velOped, will take part in the proceedings,
although il is clear that among the eight
hundred members of the Association who
have signitied an intention to be present
there will he a vast majority of ncOphytcS
who have still their mark to make
From the preparations which have been
made by our neighbOrs in Canada WORTH
~ to receive and beautifully To entertain
this great company of distinguished
guests, there would seem to be extreme
risk that science on this occasion will be
forced into IA subordinate place, and that
great excursions and inCcssant sight -sce-
ing will be the most prominent business
on hand. Should this he the case and
even should the social functions entirely
dominate the scientific, we trust that the
acquaintance which the visitors will make
with matters and affairs ON this side of
the Atlantic will materially assist them in
their efforts and investigations on their
return.

Following is a letter written by Senator
Fdmunds to one of the managers of the
recent reunion of Windsor county vctcr-
ans:

DEAR SIR-I have yours of 10Th, and beg to

The weakening OF the New England democrats
On the protection policy is one OF the most notice
able signs OF the times Not long ago Ex-Governor
English, Of Connecticut, one Of the wealjhiest
manufacturers in that state astonlshed the public
by giving qualified endorsement OF free trade
theories This was followed BY demand for
cuction OF taxation by the democratic state COM
m1ttee; and now the New hampshire democrats,
through their state committee, have declared sub
stantisIly for the Morrison bill In this connection
the recent votes OF democratic Representatives
from New England, showing tendency IN the same
direction are also TO be noticed 1t is not safe TO
jump TO the conclusion that the party in the north
eastern states Is about TO desert protection prnCi
pies entirely, but the above facts DO show DISPOSE
ton TO compromise, and therefore they are of i'm
portance- The Pennsylvania delegation are mighty
men Of valOr, 1t Is true, but they are not strong
enough or numerous enough to hold the protection
fort alone. What VIII they DO If they lose their
grip on New York and New England? Nh Randall
had better arouse himself from his Allentown dream
OF bliss and return TO his wrestling with the stern
realities Of life.

principal causes alleged in their Declaration
of Independence was, that it cut off their
trade from all parts of the world. Is it not
strange, my friends, that the government
established over this people should persist
in maintaining policy which must ulti-
mately produce substantially the same re-
sult-the cutting off of our trade? Let us
see to it that all foundation for such an &C.
cusation against the government of the
Union shall be removed as speedily as pos
sible. Taxation only for the purpose OF
raising revenue for public use and CONNER
cial regulation in time of peace only for the
purpose Of fostering and protecting legiti-
mate trade will strengthen the Union, in
sure prosperity to the people, and perpetuate
the system of government under which we
live. For myself will cheerfully cooperate
with all men and all organizations, under
whatever name they may be known, in all
proper efforts to bring about this grand re-
suit.

OFT OF LOVE AND OUT OF DEBT.

OF happy men, the happiest yet,
Is he that's out of love and debt.
Who owes no kiss to womankind,
Who has no duns to craze his mind;
With heart and thought and conscience 1ree
Where is there man more blest than ne!
"Out of love and out of debt
Motto none will eer regret.
To all surroundings reconciled,
He sleeps as sweetly as child;
By neither love nor debt DISTRESSED,
His dreams but glorify his rest.
He never breads the morn to see.
For days with days in peace agree.
"Out of love and out of debt"
Motto none will e'er regret.
Who's had his share of debt and love
Knows what the peace they rob him Of;
And. once relieved of love and debt,
His slavery never can forget;
No longer will he bend the knee,
But sing the p@ans of the free.
"Out of love and out of debt"
Motto none will e'er regret.
For all the bliss that love can give,
There's more of woe with love to live;
He plucks the perfect, thornless rose,
Who, honoring manhood, no man owes,
No love, no debt, ah there's the key
or life for him who'd happy be.
"Out of love and out of debt"
Motto none will e'er regret.

THE WoMAN-MAN AGAIN.-hIr. L. r.
Payne paid our city visit ON last Friday,
for the first time since his recent marriage,
and was warmly welcomed and congratulate
ted by his many friends. He was looking
remarkably well and was in jovial spirits.
He was attired in a stylish suit of the latest
fashionable cut, wore brown derby hat,
OvercOat Of same color, white necktie and
neat-ftting pants which fell over small feet
which were encased in about No. 5 pair of
boots. This gentleman drove in bis buggy
and handled the reins in a manner that
attracted the admiration of all who saw
him. After putting his horse away at a
public stable he attended to business mat
tiers upon which he came to the city. Of
course Mr.. Payne was the centre of attrac-
ton wherever he went and our community
was on the qui uipe to get glimpse of him
as he appeared in his new role; as he walk
ed by, every one who saw him, both
ladies and gentlemen, were unanimous
in their verdict that he made much more
handsome appearance in his true garb than
he did in female attire, and those whose
privilege it was to converse with him were
struck with his pleasant demeanor and re-
markable selfpossession. In view of the
circumstances that have surrounded him
for years past, our best wishes are with Mr..
P. for success in life, and we trust that he
may have many years Of enjoyment and
that domestic bliss may be his portion. On
the application of Lydia Rebecca Payne to
his honor Judge R. Fl. Turner of the Cir
cult Court Of Frederick county DOW in ses-
sion, the following order was made. 1t APP
pearing to the Court from the testimony of
medical experts that the applicant is Of the
male sex and that his present name is inap-
propriate, it is ordered on his motion on
this, the It'll day of March, 1884, that his
present name of Lydia Rebecca Payne, be
changed to that Of Laurence REGISTER Payne,
which shall henceforth be his lawful name.
This order ends up the matter of specula-
tion as to the sex of this party and will put
at rest all further talk in reference thereto.
