FiddIing at Old Orchard.

A tall, lank fellow, with a long dropping
moustachA. and who answers to the romantic
name of Joseph, equipped with fiddle, from
which he sawed out sweet strains, has attracted
considerable attention around the Old Orchard
depot of late. Although q very fine player,
he is without doubt a great ''crank." He is
the son Of wealthy and highly-respected par
ents in Massachusetts. About twice year
he is af1 cited with a mania for fddling, which
he grstifies by roaming abroad and playing to
everyone that will listen to him-plenty are
ready to do so. for he really plays the violin
artistically-until at last when he has fddled
his all as it were, he quietly returns home.
where he settles down to the even monotony
Of farmers life. He has plenty of money,
boards at frst-cass hotels, and possesses tai
ents which. if cultivated, might make him
famous. He has boarded at the Housam
House, Kennebunk, until lately, but, pining
for a sniff of the sea breeze. he has taken his
way towards Names fsvorite summer resort.
Friday afternoon he had hundred gilt edged
cards written by Mr.. Nicholas at his card
stand and took the 4.30 train for Bar Har-
bor-1 Old Orchard letter.

Restoration of Edinburgh Castle.

Mr.. VIM Nelson, the senior partner of the
publishing Arm of Thos Nelson & Sons, has
offered to defray the cost of restoring extern
ally the little Norman church within the walls
of Edinburgh Castle, known as Queen Mar
garet's Chapel, to rs near as possible its orig
inal condition. This interesting fabric, at
one time degraded into powder magazine, is
one of the oldest ecclesiastical structure in
Scotland, having been built by Queen Cor
Saint) Margaret, wife of Malcolm Canmore,
toward the end of the 18th century. In
ternally the building was restored many years
ago under the auspices of Prof. Daniel Will
son, now OF Toronto, who recommends the
fine Romanesque church of Dalmeny as a
model IN proceeding with the present work.
Mr.. Nelson's wish has been communicated to
the Government, and will doubtless be well

The severe frosts in the West, and par

The effect of this cold weather on wheat
will be trifling; on corn it must be most
serious. and it will be surprising If its ef-
feet is not apparent in an immediate ad-
vance in price. The more important fact
is that injury to the corn crop means a
blow to the product whose abundance

fer our waters than that to which the
Genests belongs. If she proves to be
equally good for racing the type will be
followed and improved. whereas in case
the Genesta wins the result may be fleet

pear to be confirmed by Consul Sims, of
Sierra Leone in a dispatch to the State
Department at Washington under date OF
July IA. This new prophet is reported as
having gathered under his banner an
army of 100000 men. which is divided in
to three sections, one operating near the
head waters of the Niger, another in the
regions east OF Siberia. and the other jus,
northwest Of Sierra Leone. This army,
under the lead of the new Mahdi. may for
time obstruct the progress of civilization.
and commerce in Africa, but nothing can
be more certain than its final defeat and
disintegration, and civilization is quite
sure to be the gamer by its operations.
