To attain the distinction of becoming a
cabinet minister of the Dominion govern
ment-a distinction accorded to only a dozen
of its five million people-necessitates in the
aspirant rare qualities and sterling merit
The latest addition to cabinet advisers,
Charles Carroll Colby, member of parlia-
ment for Stanstead, Quebec, is no exception
to this rule.
Mr.. Colby is not a native Canadian, but
was born in Vermont, whence he went to
Stanstead at the age of 8, where he has since
resided. His father represented Stanstead in
the Lower Canada assembly until the rebel.

facility and fire of expression The boy was
sent to Dartmouth college, and after gradu-
ating, in 1861, he spent four or five years on
his fathers farm. He afterwards owned a
farm of a thousand acres, which he managed

Mr.. Colby prao ticed law for ten years, and

prises In 1858 he married Miss Harriet
Child, of Waybrdge, Vt
Mr.. Colby's parliamentary career has been
a notable one. He has never known What it
is to be defeated in popular electtn, and
for twenty-three years his constituency in

representative in parliament Not alone has
the new minister invariably carried his own
elections, but every candidate in any other
contest whom he has supported has also been
elected This wonderful record extends back
to 1852, period of nearly forty years
He was elected 10y a majority of Isl in 1867,
with Sir A T. Calf He was strongly anti
confederate, and from that day has retained
the confidence of the picturesque county by
the shores of Lake Memphremagog.
In 1887 Mr.. Colby became first deputy
speaker of the house of commons, no objec-

though fluent, engaging speaker, with a
most effective style of oratory, and thor
ouGhly versed in parliamentary tactics, his
voice is rarely heard in debate When he does
speak, therefore, he at once receives the I'M
divided attention of the members, and his
words are listened to with marked respect
His speeches leave the impression that he
may be- perhaps, somewhat over cautious,
but stamp him as a discerning, enlightened
and sagacous public man.
Mr.. Colby has written a work entitled
parliamentary Government in Canada" a
simple and correct description of the Domin-
ion form of government, which has been
adopted as a text book in Harvard university

Walt Whitman.

1t must not be denied that Walt Whitman
has given to the world some genuine poetry,
but the quantity is small, especially when we
compare it with his many attempts at soar
ing. He has written as much poetry as
William Wordsworth, and fully as much
childish nonsense. He has never sustained a
lofty and continuous flight, but it seems that
when he takes wing all sorts of bats and mon
strous productions of a loathsome atmos-
phere obstruct his passage, and he moves
away ON current of mystical vacuity. Dis
cuss it and dwell upon it as we may, NO
scholar will ever uphold mystery as genius
1t is only an indication of weakness and ex-
haustion. But Walt Whitman, as a peculiar
and disjointed creator, takes "A place in our
literature that he will certainly retain
