The Canadian Government.

The Canadian government is a
crowned Democracy. 1t provides for
most perfect and rapid representation
of the national will in Parliament. The
Governor Generals Office secures them
against frequent turmoil in elections
and gives them the advantage without
the disadvantage of some uropeah
monsrchies. There is no danger that
his presence shall breed any royal OF
aristocratic caste. The men to whom
he gives his confidence must first have
won the suffrage Of the people and be
the leaders in their Parliament. If he
can in any way honor them it is only
stamping afresh the stamp affixed
by the popular voice. And with the
freedom from frequent elections comes
the freedom from a too exclusive party
patronage, the purity of the civil service,
because men possess their Offices not for
the life Of o party, but for the term of
their own integrity SO long as they do
not meddle in political struggles. The
idler is alone excluded from the suffrage;
and the election of judges and the ring
government Of cities and the purchase
of influence arc unknown or condemned
wherever snch things seem likely to be
bred. Look where you will. through
the long list Of national communities in
ancient or in modern times. you will
find none that have made fairer use of
their opportunities shan has the Cana
dian.-Lord Lorne.

Ellen Terry's Domestic Circus.
London Letter in San Francisco Alta


It's history that Ellen Terry was once
the wife Of Watts, the artist, and I think
it is generally known that their living
together as msu and wife did not much
exceed the period usually allotted to the
honeymoon. But the real reason Of
their separation is not known to the gen.
eral newspaper reading public. Watts
was q man Of melancholy mien and man
ner, something of the Maltravers stripe,
and he was eccentric in dress after fash
ion of his own. He was very fond Of
fun, but that had nothing to do with the
cause of the separation. His family OBJ
jected to his union with an actress, and
at first refused to recognize or meet her.
After a month, however, Watts succeed
ed in effecting reconciliation, and on
the occasion, anxious to do honor to his
family, he gave dinner to his immediate
relations. When Ellen retired to pre-
pare her toilet Watts implored her to
dress $50 as to show herself off to the
best advantage" IN the presence of family
and relatives. Imagine his horror and

made her appearance. She was dressed

Religious Growth in Americs.
From Demoresrs Monthly.

have increased from 5000. 900 to about
II, ,000, 600, which shows an increase Of
about 50 per cent as to numbers, Int q
decrease of 25 per cent compared to
growth of population. The Presbyteri-,
ans now number 5,5OO.O0O. against
$500, 700 in 1850, about So per cent in.

SO per cent. The Congregationalists
now number about 1 800 900 an increa,s
of only 81 per cent, while the popula-
tion has increased IS per cent. Tho
Episcopalians number 1000, 900, an

The Hebrews number about 10000 IN

under an act Of congress Of Feb. 2l, 1858,
and by direction Of the Indian commissioner,
removed the Winnebagoes from Minnesota to

1858, he removed the members Of the Sisse-
ton, Modawakatton, Wahpeton and Wahpakon-
t. Sioux to what is known as the Grow Creek
agency, and the further fact that the Winneba-
goes, on March 8, 1865, deded their land to the
United States and went to Nebraska, and in
1865 the various bands of Sioux on
tho Grow Creek reservation were removed
to Nebraska, and wandering bands

Money for Wedding Presents.

From the London Truth.
Among the wedding presents scntto
the Rev. Stephen Gladstone notice
couple Of checks for GlO0, given by the
Duke of Westminster and Sir Andrew
Clark, respectively. I cannot help
thinking that the example Of the duke
and Sir Andrew ought to be widely fol-
lowed. especially when the bride and
bridegroom are not too we'll endowed
with this worlds goods. When COM
parativsly poor man marries he is gene.
rally overwhelmed With all sorts Of
elaborate and useless articles but very
few people have the common sense to
contribute in cash instead of in kind.
Surely even five-pound note is an in-
definitely more serviceable present than
. piece Of plate which requires constant
cleaning, or china vase which is Ger
tain to be smashed by careless house,
maid.
