The Eighty.eightS.
From thetonduh Globe.

From theLondoh Globe.
"The eighty-eights in English hiss
tory not only bring great events, but
more particularly they bring foreign
invasions." That, says Prof: Seeley;
in Good Words for June; is the con-
clusion which we must arrive 1T, If
we were to play With chronological
coincidenences. In 1888, the Spanish
armada; in 1858, the landing OF
Dutch William: OF course the SPAN:
ish did not land, but they would
have done SO but for that fdvoring
storm which blew them from our
coasts. All, yes says the sceptical
reader, but how about 178S-what
happened then? Well, nothing in
particular; the professor confesses it.
But in 1906 French troops sailed for
Ireland, in 1893 they landed there,
and from 1900 to 1905 our danger
from invasion was greater than it
had been in the days either OF the
armada or of La Hogue. These facts
seem to suggest that every hundred
years or Whereabouts, England be-
comes subject to catastrophe from
without. We are now in the presence
or another eighty eight, and the
professor disks whether another
period .ofconvulsions is due: We are
now, he says, very 11ucl iii that
position which Spain occupied iii
1888. In that year, and in the next
two eighty-eights, our islands were
threatened: in 1883 it is not Great
Britain but Greater Britain which is
exposed to attack. We have, as
Spain had an empire which is to be
found everywhere, and which is pro-
portionately liable is it to the atten-
ton of an enemy's fleet; while Eng
land itself has reason to be anxious
about it's food supply from abroad.
Such considerations are not pre-
cisely novel; but it is interesting to
observe that Mr.: Secly, whose pro:
censorship is not of politics, is as
earnest as any politician could be in
his exhortation to Englishmcn not
to pooh-pooh possible calamitics;
but look things full in the face and
to be "ready in time"

An English nobieman Wiling; ii
Wellington, just after Waterloo,
says: che is quite unspoilt by sue
cess, gay, frank, and ready to con-
verse;"
HE has none of the airs of a great
man at the head of a hundred thous-
and mens" wrote mother; che is full
Of life and good-humor.5
He rejected the Congratulations
offered him after his return to Brus-
sells from Waterloo, saying: cit was
a dreadful business; thirty thousand
men destroyed, and a plagued near
thing"
"Oh!" answered the duke to a soci-
ETY. womanwho asked him to describe
Waterloo, lit is very easy donel We
p'lmmelled them; they pummelled us,
and | suppose we pummelled th6
hardest, SO we gained the day."
Wellington's head was not turned
by his popularity: III any one be
disposed to grow giddy with populaEt
applause, - he once said, II THINK &
glance toward my iron shutters will
soon sober him."
Those ''iron shutters" always re-
minded the duke of the fickleness of
the London. mob, and he often re-
ferred to them. During the debate on
the Reform Bill, which Wellington
opposed, the London populace, for
getting his services, broke the win
dows OF Apsley House, his city resi-
dence, and did much injury to his
PROPERTY: THE duke put Tip iron
shutters to his windows and there
they remained until after his; death.
Some time .afterward, when he had
regained his popularity, he was fol-
lowed by a large crowd OF men, who
cheered him heartily.
He received it all with Indifference,
but walked his horse to Apsley House.
He dismounted at the gate, gave the
rcins to a servant, turned round to
the crowd, pointed to the iron shut
ters, made an ironical bow, and en-
tered the court without saying @
word.

Swine Improvement.

In an address before the National
Swine Breeders Association, Prof.
Morrow, of the Agricultural Depart
ment of Illinois University, stated
that those engaged in the improve
menu OF swine had been remarkably
successful. Not in one breed alone,
but in a number, there has been ex
traordinary development in the
qualities dcsired-rapid growth,
early maturity quiet disposition, and
readiness to lay on flesh. Differing in
minor points-color, size, form as to
detail-there is comparatively little
essential difference between half-a-
dozen leading breeds, and they are
becoming more and more alike.

Speaking of dehorning, a corre-

The cruelty to the animal part of the

to practing castration upon the in
nocent lambs, pigs and calves, with
all the attendant risks, and the COM
plete changing of the ordering of

sentiment to be borne without pro-
test.
