Quite a number have been saved and
others are counting the cost.

WINDOW PANE PICTURES.

From eve till dawn, the long night through,
Cold winters el1u band
Such pictures Grew
AS never grew
Beneath the touch of human hand.
In dawn's dim light they family cleaned
On frozen panes, and glimpses seemed
To give of fairy-land.
The boughs of great old trees were bent
With silver sheen; and forth was sent
A frosty light from distant height,
Where glitt'ring spires appeared TO sight,
And far-oH castle wall.
Now here at hand, like silver strand,
Hanging In mid-air fairly,
A drawbridge spanDeo the chasm grand
Cleaning before us airilyd
A stream flowed down the mountains side,
And cast silver spray,
Then dashing on with leap and slide,
With graceful bound and easy glide
1t reached the bOulders gray,
And In deep gorges swept away.
Now DER the cold, gray landscape came
A wavering light, pale rose tinge
That touched the leaves and moses fringe.
Then slowly grew TO ruby flame,
Setting the distant peaks aglow,
Melting from frozen heights their snow.
SO fairy land now fades away,
And we may watch in vain.
Our frost made pictures melt from sight
The drops roll down the pane.

correspondent wants to know how many
women have petitioned the legislature for
municipal suffrage and how many have re-
monstrated. considerable number of
womed asked the present legislature for
municipal suffrage, just how many we can
not say. So far as we know there were no
circumstances. The remark of the Press
that naturally enough ths legislators hest
tate to take action which looks like thrusting
the suffrage upon class the majority of which
not only does not want it, but also protests
against receiving it," was based npon the
we'll known fact that more women are OPP
posed to the suffrage than are in favor of it.
This was very clearly demonstrated two
years ago when there was much agitation of
the subject. and very general expression of
opinion. 1t may be argued that this legIsla-
ture had nothing before it but petitions for
suffrage, and that therefore it should have
assumed that there was no objection. Leg.
islators are not jurymen, however, and 1t is
perfectly proper for them to consider all the
facts that may have bearing on the case,
whether brought up before them or before
previous legislature.

General Sherman's religion appears to be
the subject of an animated dispute In some
Of the New York papers, but 1t is matter
in which the general public is not very
deeply interested. Senator Sherman in a
recent letter to the New York Times stated
that the General was not Catholic. The
Generals son, however, who is a Jesuit
priest, is quoted as saying that he considered
his fathers of that faith. The truth prob
ably is not the General was not very closely
identified with any creed. His wife was
Catholic, SO were some. If not all, of:his chill
dren, and naturally the General was as toll
Grant Of that faith as Of any. But that he
ever embraced the faith himself is, in the
light Of Senator Sherman's statement, high
ly improbable.

The question as to whether there has or
has not been an Irish potato famine and con-
sequent distress, has passed out of the do
main of politics land been answered in the
clear light of facts and figures. The potato
product of the island for 1890 vas 81 ,0OO, 900
bushels below the average and the value of
the crop ISL, 100000 less than the average.
Parliamentary discussion could not present
the misfortune of the Irish people more
graphically or paint the situation in darker
colors than do these simple statistics taken
from purely commercial sources. And yet
while there has been distress in Ireland dur
ing the past year, beyond all question, gaunt
starvation has not stalked through 1.-THE land
as in previous years of shortEcrops. Only in
remote and isolated regions have the expe-
riences of 1876 and 1880 been repeated. Bet.
ter means of Communication and means of
relief have mitigated the horrors of short
potato crop In ireland.

One of the most important advantages Of
the system of voting adopted at the caucuses
Thursday night over the old method is the
great saving of time 1t effects for the voter.
Under the old system a voter who desired to
participate In the nominations for all the
offices was obliged to be present when the
caucus was called to order and remain until
adjournment. Under the new plan he can
go In any time between the hours, set for
the duration of the caucus, and by an expen.
diture: OF not more than five minutes tire
express his preference in regard to each of
the offices to be filed as efficiently as he
could under the old system in an hour or
two. Another advantage growing out of
this is that the ward room is never crowded,
the voters not being under the necessity of
remaining. as now, for new ballotings. So
lar as we can learn the experiment of Thurs
day night was entirely successful and gave
such general satisfaction that there will be
no return to the old method.

1t appears from the Missionary Herald
that the amount of rum exported from Bos-
ton to Africa is diminishing. For the year
ending June 30. 1890, the total export to
Africa was 26S,s38 gallons, the laI ger part OF
which went to the Gold Coast. The expor.
tation of the previous year was 297,OOS gal
Ions. Five years ago it was S03,437 gallons.
1t is not safe to infer from this that the
Africans are becoming teetotallers or that
the Boston rum merchants have bad their
consciences quickened. The explanation of
the falling off is to be found doubtless in the
competition of the Germans who have been
able to supply rum at lower price than the
Boston exporters.

A year ago the Bangor Wing thought the
Australian ballot system was of too little
consequence to discuss. Now it talks about
it all the time. 1t occupies its mind in all

curious that system which year ago it did
not think was worth talking about and which
it has declared over and over again amount
ed to nothing any way. should assume such
tremendous Importance as to be deemed
worthy of one editorial day for weeks in
succession-and screaming editorials too?
