"a Blow OUT."-We think the term origina-


ted with iron workers. In that pursuit the smelt-


ing furnace is kept in constant blast ten months
of the year, after which it is found necessary to
Z" blow out" or permit the fire to cease, that the
hearth, or bottom of the furnace may be repair
ed. During this cessation the furnacemen settle
up and go on protracted spree, which lasts un-
til the furnace bellows again begin to blow then
all hands sober up and go to work. In gold min
ing blowout generally takes place as a con-
scquent of extraordinary good fortune-on dis


covering rich deposit, or because of finding
big chunk. Work is suspended parties so dis
posed, repair TO the nearest trading post and dis
pose of their loose change, get drunk play cards,
and after running" certain time, return to
work to regret the foolish extravaganza. OF late
very few miners find ii convenient to thus blow
outi their hard earnings they learn that after
having blown-out their bottom dollar" the in
dividuals benefited by the blast seem to forget
their prodigality when " fellow is dead broke"
But some people are always blowing out y pos
sessed of few dollars they feel uneasy and en-
barrassed until they have relieved themselves of
the responsibility, and this disposition is, by no
means, peculiar to miners only. But with all, as
in the iron furnace after an extensive "blow-

FATHER DoNELAN's LEcrURE.-As
announced, this most able lecturer enter
tained a large audience at Metropolitan
Hall on Wednesday evening. The subject
given out was "Travels in Egypt and the
Holy Land" but as the lecture at his first
appearance before the people, took them
along only as far as Paris. it was eminently
proper that he should commence where he
left off and proceed, as fast as possible, to
the banks Of the Nile, and the city Of Jeru-
salem. Taking his audience, then, at Paris
he proceeded as fast as practicable, but on.
ly reached Rome, just in time to land in all
safety at the Minerva, when it was time to
close

We had listened to the descriptions given
by this Reverend traveller, and through his
eyes scrutinized every object Of interest, and
had the various points of attraction held up
50 plainly before our eyes, We almost imag-
ined that we had been to Paris, that VIC had
seen Napoleon the ILL.,, and the many other
other sights which can be seen only in
Paris. 1t is not our intention to follow Mr..
ID. through his lecture, and give all the
interesting f ftatures-nor could we do so if
we would. Suffice it tc say that the au-
dience present, never spent a couple Of
hours in more interesting manner.
He does not refer to great things, great
sights and grea: men alone, in his lectures,
but speaks of the minute. Of the great and
small; Of the high and low the sublime
and the ridiculous. and in such a peculiarly
interesting ayle, that every one is satisfied
whether he will or not. The passage from
Paris until lie landed US IN Rome, was a
very interesting trip-one that we never
travelled bebre, and one which. if we had in
reality passed over, We should not have
known 30 much Of as we did after the

Many farmers have. think, wrong idea
as to the time of pruning their apple trees, say
ing 1t is of little consequence when the tree is
pruned If it only needs pruning. This, am
ready TO say, is u sad mistake; for all seasons
when the sap is down it is entirely wrong -
Thr first or second week in June is the only tit
srason for pruning the apple tree. Then the
sap is 10 full flow, and the wound made by cut
ting off bough begins to heal and grow over
mediately." We agree in this view. and
the system can be applied to pears as well as
