 A squealing fe^t ijiealthy bal^y,, embryo of the prosdnt writer, blinked 
 its sore eyea for* the fitat tim*??', inijithe north-east upper bedroom of the 
 Dunsink Astronomical X^bservUtofy of Trinity College, Dublin, on the 10th 
 of May, 1834. 
 
 Sly father, l^ie late Sir William Rowan Hamilton, was Professor of " 
 Astronomy in the University of Dublin, to which office, involving the title 
 of Royal Astronomer of Ireland, he was appointed while yet in Hii 
 student's gown. His fiither, Archibald, hid Hamilton Rowan in the cellar 
 of his house in Doininick street ^hile the soldiers were searching for him, 
 and till the rebel cuuiii escape by a fishing smack to th« Continent, with a 
 head still joined to his shoulders. 
 
 My father's mother's family, the Huttons, were from Yorkshire. The 
 Baylys, my mother's people, came over with the Marquis of Ormonde, and 
 were granted a large and rich tract of land in the south of Ireland. My 
 grandfather by that branch. Rev. Henry Bayly, was Rector of Nenagh, 
 and father of 23 children, of whom two, Henry and Peter, were in the 
 battle of Trafalgar, and died Captains in the Royal Navy. ^■ 
 
 As speedily as might be, I was christened "William Ecjwin," my father 
 and Lord Dunraven, (father of the present Earl), being godfathers. 
 
 Having had the usual doses of mumps, measles. Algebra, Chicken Pock, 
 Latin and Greek, I went to Clapham Grammar School, William Edgeworth, 
 nephew of the great authoress, being my chief chum. \Ye were allowed a 
 half-holiday on Saturday, and having plenty of pocket money, ifsed to slip 
 into a, confectioner's on the cominon to ent brandy balls, made of sugar, 
 with a few drops of pure French brandy in each. Liking these so well, the 
 confectioner ij^ent one better, giving us the straight brandy in a*private 
 room, together with cigars, and being caught, we had for ji penance to 
 smoke dried cow-dung and drink ink and water, sitting at a barrel, in the 
 playground before the whole school. Another schoolmate was- Williai^n, 
 eldest sen of Sir John Hersphel, at wHose country seat, Collingwoodin 
 Kent, I used to spend the short holidays. Some of us made up a sentence 
 including all the naiftes of the principal masters under Rev, Chas. Prit- 
 chard, .the Principal. It ran thusj "How (Howe) Wood Clarke use 
 (Hughes) Body," the last being a Church of England minister, whose son 
 was Provost of Trinity College, Toronto. Howe was the writing master. 
 I got a prize for a continuous recitation of the fourth boojc of Viygil, some 
 4,200 words, and Goldsmith's " Deserted' Village," with only three mistakes, 
 allowed. Bu^ writing w»s Iny weftjt spot, fin4 nlpjogt-inv^iftlily, after

 Jiving the work \xk bin own beautiful penmanship iir red ink over uiy scrawl, 
 he, would wind up by giving me a Binart rap with tKe ligauiq vifao ruler on 
 the side of the head. How I ached for the snail-Jiko years to slip by, till I 
 became a strong man to break *hira all up. Meanwhile could nothing be 
 done against him ? Yes. Every Sunday evening the Principal had the 
 whole school gathered as one Sunday School dass. He would take pArt of 
 a chapter containing one suhject, get the ideas of «ach \>l us om it, and 
 k 1? '^'^* ^'^ *'^"' ^^ this class, all 'masters and ushers, (half-teachers and 
 half-police, to keep the stronger boys in order) were expected to be present, 
 Howe included. It was beyond caVil that Howe used to drop once and 
 awhile into a cosy quiet inn near the common* to hat«^ his pot of Jialf and- 
 half. His naturally red cheeks and blusbinrf no.se, made him unjustly sus- 
 pected of moi-o than the actua^ indulgenc^T One Sunday evening, when 
 the lesson was half over, Howe cauio in /heated and flurried. Pritchard ' 
 coldly remarked, "I think, Mr, ^owe, y/u mi^'ht contrive to set the bt)yH 
 an example of punctuality." H(i>we said/nothing, but hurrying to his seat, 
 iquatt^ed down, jumping, up with a yell, which was as heavenly manna to . 
 myself and co-conspirators, who had firmly embedded a needle, point 
 upwards in the bench. He was tcfo e.xcitwl to make any e.xp:anation 
 intelligible, and Pritchard, now thoroughly convinced that he had been 
 boozing too long at the tavern, looked iqr at, the ceiling, saying to nobody 
 in particular, that "instructors of youth slu.uld show some little respect for 
 the decorum of a religious gathering." ^^•e had our own Church of Eng- 
 land Chapel with hands6me stained gjjis.s windows, and«some of our choir 
 used to sing occasionally in AV'estminster Abbey. We had occasional pro- 
 cessions through London, marching two abreast, with a ma.ster at front and 
 T''"'* ^"r.fP*^'^*' chance was turning a corner in the fasliioilh»le west end 
 street. VVhen the tw6 middle boys were opposite the street corner, the 
 master in front could not see the boys in the front half, l.ecau.se his back 
 was turned,^^ neither could the rear master, being obstructed in his view by 
 the houses.. A boy in the front half would run up the steps of a mansion 
 like lightning, ring and give a thundering rap, and would have time to re- 
 peat the operation on another door and be back in the ranks. The fun 
 was to see the si Ik -stockinged footmen open the door, and sometimee collar 
 the boy m front of him, the real culprit having moved on thirty or forty 
 xeet OS they walked. . ' • ^ 
 
 Severe caning and flogging prevailed. The discipline was stern but 
 the education thorough, and in the term examination papers (printed on

 of midnight ; my eyes deep blue, hers unfathomable raven black — black at 
 an ink bottle. In the ecstacies of ray sublime passion I became humanizod. 
 
 On* Sunday, in the early oummer morning, while their fathers and 
 mothers were snugly tucked undei' the blankets, it was the general custom 
 of a choice club of boys, having previously secured a lusty tomcat, to float 
 him in a huge willow buwl on the si ill waters which covered a desertefl 
 quarry. The cat, Imtiny water, stayed quiet, cnmching in the centre, witkh- 
 a faint " meeyou," Then our terriers and lurchers were loosed, and s^ii^ 
 ming to the attack were soundly scratched. When this became mpikh" 
 tonous, I unslipped my Russian 'terrier from his chain as a rtia^^or. 
 Hitting the side of the bowl with his paw ho capsized it, and soon flushed 
 the drowning mou.sor. ', " 
 
 I resigned my Presidency of the cat club. Nay more-^such was the 
 transforming and purifying action of my new affection — I turned mission- 
 ary and tried to stop Sunday ceck-fighti^g. All our gardeners kept game 
 birds in the hsy lofts, of the celebrated " Sooty Dun" breed, and used to 
 fight them under a hug§ chestnut tree in the paddock, in the violet light of 
 dawn\ T used to slip out of the back door in my stocking feet and bet 
 marbles on the winner, but now — v

 Henrietta and I had been predestine<l evidently, millions of ages oga 
 to come together. With the coyness of her sex, she kept me tantalized. I 
 suggested an Hopement. She neither -€a|^u raged nor wholly discouraged. 
 In vain, I tried to bring her to a decisicflR^Vith a hooked wire, I worked 
 out a forbidden novel out of the locked ^re door of one of my father's 
 libraries. From it, slightly changed, I picked out a beautiful form of pro- 
 posal. *' If Henrietta, the purest and most dev^d affection — if the con- 
 secrated constancy of a lifetime- if the mo.st assrauous sacrifices." Blush- 
 ing, with downcast eyelashes, slie snatched her forefinger away and leaving 
 me kneeling on a bunch of nettles,, chased a butterfly. In a more melting 
 mood, she came back; hintin;^ thus, " affection, however eloquently phrased, 
 require proof." We were in the midst of one of my uncle's ten-acre fields, 
 near the stone wall of the Observatory detnesne, which was pierced with a.n 
 iron wicket gate. " Put me to proof, Henrietta," rart my 'agonized pleading. 
 "O, that a furious bull might rush up from the riveir, chasing thee as thoti 
 fle^st to the iron wicket I O, that he might all but catch thee ! Then' 
 would 1 rush in between, giving thee time to escape, and as his cruel holhfli 
 pierced my kidneys, with my dying breath I would <iry, 'Farewell, Ij^loved 
 one.' On th^ anniversary of ray death, would it be asking too much to re- 
 quest you to shed three-sevenths of a drop of tear-juice on my untimely 
 
 grave ?" Shef said, " we had better go in and get some lunch "

 I feljb that without her the earth was a foitl m^ss t>{ thistles and 
 misery. With her, a mud floor waii paved with rubies. ""Night ©f Fear 
 followed Day of Hope, with Doubt for twilight between. What if sh* 
 should finally reject me ? Seneca suicided by opening his veins in a warm 
 bath, but Prussic acid might be just as easy.

 Mr' 
 
 PrivatA tutor, mor« d(HWM of Greek, Latin; A1gtbr4 And Whoopln); 
 Cough. The University of Dublin. ProfoiiBor Salmon, afterwardn the vene- 
 rated ProvoMt, was my tutor. The casual reader can skip the next sentence. 
 X ^covered some theorems in determinants and Geometry. Among the 
 latter, that in any piano triangle, the centre of the circumscribed circle, the 
 centr<) of gravity and tho mooting of ttio perpendiculars from vertices on 
 topposite sides, are in a right line, and that the c. of g. trisects the interval 
 between the other two. 
 
 I saw an expulsion in ancient form, with the Oollege hell tolling muffl- 
 ed' funeral peals, and the sentence mad iit,, Latin. 
 
 '*■*. 
 Also, a brisk scrimmage, on the occasion of the public ceremony of 
 
 laying the corner stone of the new belfry f^tudents were forbidden to 
 
 climb the scaffolding. Harris, one of my classmates, did so, and trying to 
 
 get on the platform waa kicked in small of the back by the contractor's son. 
 
 The studeuO tried to scale the platform to. get at him, but the kicker and 
 
 Workmen beat them o£f. . Then from a pile of bricks, and paving stones 
 
 ^ibey tired at the kicker. The stones so thrown, hit the students on the 
 
 other side who thought them thrown by the workmen. At last the boys 
 
 retired into Botany Bay Square, but only for a bliud, and one of them 
 
 peeping, fcported that the kicker had come down. At him they rushed, 
 
 and his face wa.s soon like a raw beefsteak. Here Galbraith, of Home Rule 
 
 fame, then junior deacon, came to the rescue, linking the victim under his 
 
 arm and taking him in safety through the Fellows' garden. One of the 
 
 students gave him a long range shot with a rotten egg, which, missing its 
 
 mark st^-uck the Dean in the whisker. I have not space to write up the 
 
 oharge^of the horse police with swords, against the students, during Lord 
 
 £!glington's State entry as Lord Lie^tenant. 
 
 Two of my classmates were the present Sir Richard Cartiwright, then a 
 fresh hearty youth, full of fun and energy, and Kirkpatrickl now over the 
 Surveys Department of the Ontario Government. \ T^- 
 
 The College was full of odd old customs. Whenever\ the Provost 
 visited within four miles of Dublin, the Oollege sweep, a well-paid official 
 (whose house was in French street, where 0.11 the others were tenanted by 
 females), followed liim and swept the chimneys. 
 
 Ont«ide the College railings, which enclosed a semicircular plot in front 
 of the grand entrance, were stands where day a|tcl night, women more than 
 70 years old and who might ^ be 200, for time had no effect on their faces, 
 hi,t day and night, selling apples. At night they used dip't candles in oiled 
 paper lanterns, licking the apples when nobody was looking, to freshen 
 them up. The ^ty authorities tried to remove them. The police scowl^ 
 at them. Furious letters .were written against them in the Dublin Evening 
 Mt^il. They were on College ground and the University Board would not 
 I^tahairof their heads be touched. « 
 
 Castj[eknoc|it, which included' the Observatory, was a very aristocratic 
 and tory parish. When the Lorid Lietltenai^t w(^l at the Viceregal Lodge, - 
 be was a parishioner, and the church had & Viceregal or Royal pew, larger 
 than the r e st, oppo s it e th e pulpi fc — A still larg e r squar e pew was that of

 the door to see him. The hall door was open. It was raining briskly, but no 
 sooner had they caught sight of him thai» every hat was off. He told them 
 to keep them t>n, but it seemed as if that was impossible for the ohief 
 spokesman, He listened patiently to their grievances, gave them a letter 
 of instrMctions to tHe agent to remedy, then sent them round for dinner, 
 and they left, invoking multiplex blessings on his head. ■ Ion Trant Hamil-

 Coolmiae House, uncle of the present Lieut-Governor of Ontario. He 
 was Senior Magistrate and indefatigable in his attendance at Petty Sessions

 without out\xml fee<rt- reward other than the high esteem of the community. 
 
 THB INQUEST 
 
 " Ye maun na gang across,]' bawled the dark and sinister-looking High- 
 lander, gateman at the Ashtowfi level crossing of the Midlq,nd Railway, 
 near Dublin, a crossing which combined all conceivable elements of danger, 
 being on a steep grade and a sharp curve, in the concavity of which tall 
 willows were planted to blind the outlook of the engine driver. ^ - "^ 
 
 Senior, relativb and ftamesake of the celebrated Professor and a great 
 Government official, being Secretary to the poor-la«r Oommissipners, was 
 walking home to this country Villa. The large gate barred the roadway, 
 but he passed through the turnstile. ;■ 
 
 . •' D— n it ye maun na pass," shouted Sandy, roughly collaring hiiB. 
 The roar of the Express shook the willows. The earth trembled. 
 Black clouds of sulphurous s^oke heralded the unseen demon. 
 
 Enraged at his presumption. Senior angrily shook him off, thinking b^ 
 had time to clear the train, but the delay of two seconds was fatal. Hatf 
 he been completely let alone or completely held prisoner, he wou^ hav« 
 been alive to-day. - '^ .^i^ 
 
 Fragments of hair and bloody bones strewed the tr&ok. My father 
 terribly shocked, sent me with a letter of condolence to the widow 
 next morning. — Taking a s hort cut through my uncle's t i elds to the priT»te

 aesunaed an authority which would not Iw submitted to for a moment in 
 Uanada, offered the use of a room in M.)rgan's school. Thither we all 
 migrated, it was an endowed school, the funds of which, left by bfouest 
 had been nearly exhausted in stene and mortar. We had a fine lofty

 Jfterwards Alexander Kirkpatrick came iu and I coded my foremanship to

 given at considerable length when Kirkpatrick ^juietly said, " Mr. Coroner, 
 ail that we have done already goes for nothing." " Why ?" "We have 
 notviewed the body." Headed by the Crestfallen coroner, we looked 
 through a glass door in Senior's house, at the remnants . picked up— a finger 
 with signet ring here, and there a broken eye. The butler identified the 
 corpse by the ring. 
 
 Back again to the school-room. The inquest dragged on for five days

 at spite on the part ofe the gateman, 7* 
 
 Thesharpwhistle-of' a special train behind the school, which was to

 the tragedy and getting up to address the coroner and jury, he made a 
 ^mplete^ somersault eating up all/his five days' contentions and expressing 
 « .7"®*/^a*^ nobody was to blame for the unfortunate accident, and that 
 all idea of suicide must be wholly dismissed. 
 
 Away spread the legal acrobat to Galway. The ^verdict was given 
 accordingly and each juryman got one shilling.

 Ikj dep«)8ited with the proper otUci/d of thu House of Commons by a certain . 
 day, sharp, or the bill was liable to be thrown out for breach of standing 
 oniers. Once on a railway Hurvey 1 wa.s under the orders of oho Heffernan, ^ 
 hired for tho nonce. He u«ed, when ran-fiing out lines, to use signs when 
 th« distance was too great f<^- the voice, and a nod of hiH head mea%t "stick 
 the flake down.'' Ho had d(>ne f*o tr.uch of this Work that he got into the 
 habit of nodding oven out of J«ea.sou. Wo were driving home on an outside 
 jaunting car when Lord -< — passed iw in an open carriage with postillions 
 
 and outriders. HelVernan was noiMing as. usual. Lord courteously 
 
 returned the salute, and *tlie carman reporting thia at the tavern, they ^ 
 thought they had one of lii.s lordship's friends, and nothing was too good 
 for us. On a survey frouj Omagh to/Dungannon, a son of Sir Percy Nu- 
 gent was my chief. We had no legal authority tli enter any private 
 grounds. Nugent had his level on top of a hill nearQiiiagh, and ran down 
 to range a side-line. -A madman, wlu> i»wned tho ground^ ^powling fright-, 
 fully and showing huge yoljow canine te<^th worthy of a gorilla, rushed up 
 to smash tho level. ' I was young and strong but my common sense toldme 
 1 was no match for the giant, so David-liike, T picked up stpnes to j;hr6# at 
 him. Just then Nugent appeared, and taking in the situation at a glance 
 used his personal magnetism, backed by the gift of cigars, to such good 
 purpose that the madman became our Vjest friend, and helped ua. One day 
 ■ sighting across a bog, Nugent saw a bjuc-legged boy capering near the tel^ 
 scope, and tlio bog shook so, even with this, that he could not get an ob-^^ 
 serVution. " Will nobody shoot that boy," said the wrathful e»gineer. as he 
 tried to catch him. In vivin, the lad knew every inch of*the bog and all 
 the pitfalls. No one couUl catch him. Reader, if yoji ever trav.el over a 
 bog in any part of the Vorld, a word in your ear which^may save your life^ 
 don't go near any spot where you see rushes ^t^wing high. Our 24 hours' 
 walk involved 20l miles walking, folding ice-cold rivers, up to our middles, 
 driving home with a cake of ice on our clothes, and after supper, sitting up 
 half the night, platting the survey. I did not like it. A maa will go 
 through this and more when deer-stalking, but "this was work. True, we 
 we're, well paid, even pupils getting five pounds a week or more.

 One of my experiences was lecturing on Immigration and teaching 
 school one winter in Marbleton, 24 miles from Sherbrooke. I preserve one 
 . iittle incident, because it tnay be a warning to teachers against hasty judg- 
 ment. I had a volunteer dictation class after the regular school had been 
 dismissed. In the middle of it, bang came a snow ball at the outside door, 
 ran out and collared Brazeland another boy at the gate. They held'their 
 ground, denymcr the throwing- There were no tracks on the snow leading 
 to the side of the school house, and no one in sight on the road. I felt that 
 onpof them must have done it . However they solemnly denied it and I 
 never encouraged thei'n in peaching. A year afterwards, Katie Healey, one 
 ot the scholars, on her death-bed sent for me, and confessed that she had 
 thrown the snowball and hidden under the school house, which was not 
 banked, and where I never dreamed of lookin?'.

 After my winter's school-teaching was over, I got a comfortable legacy 
 from across the herring pond, and took things easy while it lasted, making 
 excursions to Ottawa, Halifax arid elsewhere. 
 
 While quietly resting at Marbleton, I wrote critiques on Thackeray 
 and Dickens, and a 3,000 line poem called "'Whispers of the Angels, a 
 supposed instruction by the angel Gabriel to Adam, in Paradise, gi^mg 
 him a full explanati^f how the planets and stara were condensed trom 
 clouds. The metre rSfi-r

 write and if it had the same effect on A,dam that it had on the Kev. 1. ». 
 C, who after heroically suppressed yawns, fell asleep, our first father must 
 have had a soothing time. However, I consoled myself, r^emV)ering that 
 the cleric had been up all the night previous, in his hop-house, and was 
 drowsy anyway, ; - 
 
 Every week regularly I sent a poem to the SIherbrooke Gazette, all of 
 which were i-egularly published till the long-suffering editor kicked at a verse 
 history of a caged moose. 
 
 Now, to the sihiple rustics, knowing nothing of my legacy, I became a 
 mystery of the first water. The Sherbrooke Gazette must give an enormous 
 price for poetry, when I could live so comfortably and afford to spend two 
 hundred dollars on a fortnight's trip' to Halifax. Was I to have the mono- 
 poly of these fat things I No. Accordingly, the Gazette became flooded 
 with manuscript from other local poets, which, , fattening the waste basket, 
 led to enquiries, whence it leaked out that I got no pay for \my poems. ^ I 
 was more than ever a mystery. How did I live 1 I toiled not, neither did 
 I spin. I became known locally as *the man who writes poetry for nothing 
 in the papers" and "the man who lives without working." Thus when the 
 "Mail Coach" or "Queen's" road to Sherbrooke was blocked with snowdriftp, 
 a tamarack ship-knee hunter said, "the post-master at Ascot told me that he 
 
 met "THK MAN WHO WRITES POBTRY FOB NOTHING IN THB PAPERS" CrOSsing the 
 
 crust on snowshoes to Sherbrooke and got him to carry the mail. Again, a 
 teamster for Pope's Lumber Company, returning from Weldon, said much 
 to my detriment— in Marbleton "I watch him when he comes back. I saw 
 "THE MAN WHO LIVES WITHOUT WORKING" buy a beautiful red neck-tie in 
 Bury for 15 cents. 1 1 co^ld have got it for a shilling in Marbleton. That's 
 " a nice way to support his own village." 
 
 The hardships of the first settlers, Irish and Yankee, are pa«t belief.

 word. - 1 told him, and handed him my half of the paper, which he j^ij«^ 
 wiiih his own and I got my money, some of it in very greasy bills. I lodged 
 it in the Bank of Montreal. "Beware the awful avalanche" ought to be 
 painted on the street comers in the spring, for a ton from the high roof^ of 
 solidly frozen snow, would smasK a man into jelly. One day I ^^"^ ^ 
 Jraw some money and being almost too late to get to the bank before closing 
 time, I had to run so fast that the perspiration rolled ofif my head in streams 
 in spite of the sharp frost. I had the cheque refuly drawn and presented it 
 at the counter Bank clerks are prim and dudish models of propneW in 
 business hours, and eminently sp, those of this great bank. Judge of my 
 surprise when the paying teller began to snicker, and his hand shook so with 
 suppressed laughter that he could hardly count out the money. Eye- 
 language passed from clerk to clerk and all looked at me and faintly titter- 
 ■5d. I was getting mad at their rudeness and seeing the Manager (Christie, 
 * I think,) passing I asked him in an angry and harsh voice, whether his 
 clerks were paid to insult depositors. Instead of reprimanding them, ho 
 gave a little laugh, and thus encouraged, the whole office burst into a 
 roar. I was fairly raging by this time and shouted at. them that I would 
 exp<)8e them in the newspoper The laughing burst out worse than ever till 
 some actually cried— an irrestlsible crack of cackling. I was speechless with 
 fury. The paying teller handed me a pocket mirror. O, horror ! No 
 wonder they laughed. I myself joined them, till I shook agkin. In my 
 fast running the perspiration streams had dissolved the green dye out of 
 the lining of my fejthat The beautiful emerald green sweat had frozen a« 
 it fell, and from the points of whisker tufts over my ears, were two huge 
 bright green icicles, while small green lines were down my forehead. I was 
 worse than Tittlebat Titmouse with his purple hair in Warren's story. 
 
 After various wanderings to Toronto and along the Intercolonial, I 
 settled in Fredericton, a slow, dull town, in the middle of June, from when till 
 the first week in September, the heat, day and night, was sufifocatmg. I 
 nearly drove my landlady to the lunatics with an Indian skull which I 
 bought and put under the bed, and of which she was in mortal terror, being 
 a superstitious New Englander I left for Minneapolis in the fall, trying to

 in Toronto and Meaford, I migrated to Parry Sound, took up a free grantt 
 got sick of it and settled in Bracebridge, Here I met George Eddingtbn, 
 son of Col. Eddington of Argylshire, who was drowned with Mrs. Shackleton 
 of Chatham when crossing the Atlantic in the Florida. 
 
 I published a sketch of the Free Grant districts, which was embodied 
 in an officiary olu me, and wrote tHte descriptive matter of the Muskoka 
 Atlas. Myl^story in these districts has already appeared in the "Muskoka 
 Sketch." When in Bracebridge, through the influence of E. F. Stephenson, 
 of whose journal Hie Free Grant Gazette, I was local editor, and backed 
 by a large petition from the leaders of both political parties, X waa ap-

 had jerked out three blocks o£ iftwduslHwvered crystal, jet farther ooneeik^ 
 ' «d as to shape by brush, opposite Patteson's lumber yard. " Hoot man, 
 says Sandy to .)ohn B , " Thus maua be a verra caold c^mate. Look ye at 
 yon winter's ice, no thawed the noo in the dog days." 
 
 One evening, when boarding at A. P. Ryall's, Prince fid ward House, 
 (Chatham), and being very much amazed at the non-coming of some old' 
 country money from my biother, Rer. A. H Hamilton, a messenger told 
 me that a parcel was lying for me at the Express Office. There was a dollar 
 and eighty-three cents to pay on it. Running back with the parcel to the 
 hotel, I eagerly opened it, and found a huge thick ugly clumsy piece of 
 Spanish cork— -that and nothing more. I threw it at the open fire^ but 
 passion marred my aim and Alf. cried, •' Stop, I see something shining." I 
 picked up the despised enclosure. It was the heaviest cork on record. 
 Ounningly set into the edge, the parson had thickly stuck in half-sovereigns. 
 
 I pass over my adventures with the Bickford depatation to Dresden, 
 and the excitement caused by my publication of the interview with the 
 late Ed Robinson, ex-M. P. P , 'during Olancey's first campaign. The effect 
 of the latter on the election is well known. 
 
 One of my hair-breadth escapes was while distributing my newspaper* 
 the Market Guide, across the creek on Saturday Tom Collop, a big,DurIy, 
 broad and deep-chested, strong-voiced John Bull, a Crimean veteran witha\, 
 who liked to be called plain Tom and not Mr. Collop, kept the noted Oollop 
 House, opposite the Registry Office, across the creek. He was always a 
 great friend and admirer of the Market Guide. I left some copies behind 
 the bar and coming back for them in dusk, did not notice the open cellar, 
 and fell down the steps, missing by a hairsbreadth, so to speak, a sharp iron 
 point which would have spitted my brain. Tom had defied the Russian 
 shell in the trenches, but for once I saw him scared. He thought I was 
 dead. Much to his relief I walked up smiling, with a London Advertiser 
 still squeezed under my armpit, and no bones broked, thbugh badly shaken, 
 and after giving me a cordial, he added a tongue-threshing, and guyed me 
 at intervals, till the novelty wore off, after six months. 
 
 To spite the Chatham undertakers for not advertising in my paper, I 
 have filled my body to Burt, for dissection, he paying all my debts. A» I 
 have a double spleen, gizzard, and other specialties, he ought tonjakea good*

 The Edgemont (South Dakota) Grinding Stone, like many other useful 
 novelties, was accidentally discovered. Mr. Prancis C. Grable of that 
 place, owning a quarry of remarkably fihe and beautifully tinted sand stone, 
 shipped It extensively for high-class building and ornamental dressings. The 
 stone. which hardens with exposure, was much admired but strong complaints 
 came from the stone-cutters that their chisels were worn away so iipidly 
 Mr. Grable, with his usual keen eye to business, figuratively "smelt a rat" 
 and an agreeable one, and sending a sample to note^ a New York expert, 
 received the report, after repeated and exhaustive trials, that Edgemdnt 
 Jtone would equal the finest Bavarian imported grinding stone, beiL per- 
 fectly uniform in texture and wholly free from hard or soft spots. . Acco«l- 
 ingly though the quarrying of this" material fer building stone was not 
 abandoned, yet the sawing of it for grindirig stones became the dominant 
 industry at Edgemont, Finally the Edgemont Stone Co. was incorporated

 •viduno« under the heading "Oliniote wmI Health," however let iiiiHde. Th* 
 Central Drug Store dat«M Ifroni "uway back." Anyhow, Pilkey k Co have 
 
 nboen there for nearly 20 ycani, und enlarged it to double tlie tiie, 6 yeani 
 ago. They deal in general <lrugH, propriotury nif^ilioinos and fancy goods. 
 One of the firm, U'ing inUjrviwwed by niu, spoke of an advance in some 
 patent medicines, not much change in fancy goMla. They sell a good deal 
 more quinine than in old days, partly from increase in poptilation, but 
 chiefly from its very much greater oheapneRs which leads people to use it 
 freely for dyspepsia andlis a general tonic. Tl»ey fully eontirm Dr. Hadley's 
 evidence, as to decrease pushed almost to the point of ceesStion, in sales of 
 Fever-and- Ague medicines. At this point Asher Hinds, a Dover farmer, 
 chipped in his oar, acceptably. "12 years ago I shook with fever and ague. 
 If I drank water on an empty stomach, or got wet, I shook all day. The 
 causes of fever and ague were beginning to wear out of the County, through 
 drainage, but rememl)er 1 had the dregs of it, of fifteen years still further 
 back, in my system. Since 12 years ago I gained 20 lbs. of flesh." I next 
 tackled Alex. VonGunten of VonGunten Bros., watchmaker and manufac- 
 turinflr- jeweller. He finds a large demand for high-class diamonds, and 
 keeps a large stock of loose and set stones. To him also comes the sheepish* 
 eyed seeker after marriage licenses, of which he sold 22?,' a fair average, in 
 '93; weddirig rings to 7 out of every ten of these. Business established in 
 Chatham in 1847. He finds 20 per cent, drop in articles of sterling silver } 
 30 per cent, cut in watches. In spectacles he imports his frames from the 
 States and glasses from England in better grades. Finds trade increasinc 
 Employs from 4 to 5 hands. American lever batches are all the rage wit., 
 screw cases. To illustrate drop, he sKowed me a gold Cronograph^wiss 
 Repeater, retailing kt $150, of which the wholesale price 5 years ag6 would 
 be from 1$225 to $275. G Sulman, 8 years in Chatham, was liext intei^ 
 viewed. He sells 76,000 rolls of wall paper in the year. Ri^culous drop 
 in Values Papers which used to sell for 40 — 50 cents n^r roll (36 s. f.) 
 can be bought now for 15— 20c. Low grades 3 cents a will. I was ^lad to 
 find him saying that his sales of dime blood curdling/hovels had dropped 
 oflF, being replaced by that of the works of Conan ^yle and Hall Caine. 
 James Holmes, 26 years in business in Chathamy^ stationer, book seller, 
 
 ''etc., finds big drop, 50 per cent, in all lines jjj^ll papers would have fallen 
 more than that were it not for the duty. j0ime novels not nearly so much 
 called for. ^ Large increase in sales of ne^i^apers and magazines, at least 10 
 fold. Always steady sale of Xmas/^esents. Much greater variety in 
 High School books. Very few slpites sold, as they use scribblers. Don't 
 sell 1 for aO in old times. Uped/ilways to order 10 cases of slates at once

 W. Milner «k Op's Wagon Works is a new but thriving industiy in 
 Chatham. They have just completed their first year's run of their wagon; 
 
 I which has so encouraged them that they feel that iiieir plant is bftrely 
 equal to theNoutput needed for the local trade, and' in view of rapidly 
 accumulating orders from outside points, they have decided on enlarging it 
 without delay They manufacture wagons, carts and lorries. Their fac- 
 tory is at 'the corner of Thames and Head streets. Mr. W. Milner is a 
 practical wagon builder of 43 year's experience and another principal part- 
 ner, Mr. J. Cleeve, owner~ot~a large estate and coal mines in Australia, is 
 well posted in the requirements of the world, which he has circumnavigated 
 more than once. James Moore, foremori of the works, is an old experi- 
 enced wagon builder. What he doesn't know about it, you can write on.

 TiM President, Archie L»mont, Sootoh of the Scotch, prominent society 
 man, United Workmen, etc., is an extensive pork-packer and roanufncturer . 
 of lard and vegetine. In addition to his official and routine duties, he is 
 ever seeking to put new blood into the veins of the Board and .to garner ,, 
 new stibjects for its consideration. He, supported by Mayor Campbell, vis- 
 ited Ottawa as a deputation from the B. of T., and obtained from the Gov- ^ 
 •mment the promise that the bar at the mouth of the Thames would be 
 dredged, the work to start next spring at the earliest possible date — a pro- 
 misi^ which they cannot neglect without the grossest breach of faith. Vice- 
 President Waddell is a prominent produce merchant. Sec.-Treas. ScuUard 
 is a talented barrister, well in touch with all classes of the community. 
 Now for the B. of. T. Council : Peter MacKellar, Registrar, of commanding 
 porsonaf appearance, which one of his lady clerks, now a leading Toronto 
 society journalist, compared to that of a dignified Jewish Rabbi — deserves 
 speoiid mention, both as ex-president and as champion for punctuality and 
 frequency of attendance. J. Piggott, chairinan of Navigation Co., and C. 
 Hadley are leading lumber merchants. John A Morton is one of our chief 
 hardware merchants. G. P. Scholfield, J. E. Thomas and D. Glass are 
 Ofaatham mani^gers of the Standard Bank, Bank of Commerce and Bank of it^ 
 
 Montreal. R. Martin is the well known manufacturer of pumps and wind- 
 mills. Hugh Malcolmson is ex-Mayor, runs a very extensive Pickling and 
 Canning factory, and very large grocery establishment J. P. Dunn oc- 
 cupies the very responsible post of depot agent at Chatham of the C. P. R. 
 Manson Campbell, whose long established fanning mill factory is elsewhere 
 described, is our first City Mayor. Iiast, but not least, comes N. H. 
 Stevens, one whose progress has been study and continuous, not only in fin- 
 aneial prosperity arising from his great milling business,' but in the affections 
 and respect of the community. H* has always devoted a liberal share of " ^ 
 his time to the public, having filled the positions of Justice of ^e Peace, 
 and Public School trustee in Blenheim ; Chatham Town Council, chairman of 
 Finance '84, '94 ; trustee Chatham High School 9 years ; 2 years President 
 B. of T. ; Tavern License Commissioner for Kent 2 years ; President Chat- 
 ham City Band, on Committee for building Collegiate Institute, Director of 
 %t Chatham Saving and Loan Co., Vice-President of Chatham Steamboat Co. 
 After he became sole owner of the Kent Mills, he very generously forewent 
 the balance of tjie bonus which was his by right, and thus virtually donated 
 some $650 to the town chest. The November meeting (95) was a good 
 sample brick. Several very important matters, some urgent, came up ; 
 among the rest, the dredging of the mouth of the river, the abolition of the 
 Ward system, and the, introduction of natural gas into Chatham. These 
 projects were very intelligently and exhaustively handled — J. Piggott chip- 
 ping in his dryly humorous way, N. H. Stevens massive and judicial, Mac- . 
 Kellar clear aud suggestive, whilie Sutherland, of Sutherland, Innes Co, 
 whose annual $1,500,000 business we mention elsewhere, showed his usual 
 business briskness and mercurial liveliness to nip extraneous digressions in" 
 the bud. Among «he new members elected were Burrows, marble and gran- 
 ite monument manufacturer, a recent and welcome arrival in Chatham ; my- 
 self, you ought to know a good deal about me by this time ; Durrant, new 
 manager of the Merchants Bank, and JKs. Hadley, of the noted lumber

 WBS^ KENT AQRIOULTURAL SOOIBTV. 
 
 Has 20 acres ground, race track, grand stand, cattle sheds knd buildings 
 equal to those o£ any other county, which were built aad opened by th« 
 Lieut. Governor during Henry Smyth's presidency. The present President, 
 John A. Walker, is a promineot barrister in Chatham and takes a deep 
 interest in farming, more especiklly raising Jersey cows. From a strictly 
 agricultural and object-lesson standpoint this year's Fair was a great suc- 
 ceso, both in stock and produce. Not so from a money point of view.^ Wate 
 receipts talk. They talked small. Time was when every farmers boy 
 calculated to spend %h to $10 at the fair as the holiday of the year. ih« 
 directors may say to the public, "We have piped unto you and ye have not 
 dfijnced. We have mourned and ye have not lamented. We have given 
 you a fair with horse racing Ye said no"; give us a purely ai^ricultural 
 show. We do so and ye leave us to suck our thumbs over meagre gate- 
 money, with a small Government grant, a generous one of $200. from Chat- 
 ham and a penurious $50 from one of the wealthiest County Oouncii^ m 
 Ontario." However, Elgin is worse oflF, having given up its fair this year. 
 Young farmers and some old ones say, "We don't want to drive in ten or 
 ^fteen miles to see a big squash or a big pig ; give us horse racing, give us 
 female baloonists." If the strict sort object, let them put their hands m 
 their pockets to cover the Society's loss, or else the fair must go. Something 
 might be done by consolidating minor fairs with W. K. A. S., following 
 example of Strathroy. 
 
 CITY COUNCIL, 1895. 
 
 Mayor, Manson Campbell ; Ward No. 1, Henry Smyth, Hy. \N eaver ; 
 ^Ward No. 2, F. Stone, R Cucksey ; Ward No. 3, P. Rutherford, F. ^iarx i 
 Ward No. 4, John Carpenter, G. G Taylor \ Ward No. 4, James Dillon, T. 
 A Smity City Clerk, John Tissiman ; Treasurer, H. G. Fleming ; Col- 
 iectbr, Wm. Rannie ; Chief of Police, W. Young; Police Magistrate, M. 
 Houston ; Chief of Fire Dep't., A. Jacques, The rare name in this country - 
 of Tissiman, is well-known in Yorkshire. M r. Tissiman has been 57 years, lu 
 Chatham, 31 years Town Clerk. Like his prototype of Ephesus, he counsels 
 to do nothing rashly, and saves his enaployers from many a pitfall. Mayor 
 and Councillors come and go, but he abides. He has been justly called 
 "almost infallible" as to municipal law. Wheu in my reporting duties, 1 
 ask the best of our many good lawyers, information as to points of obscurity 
 and of some seeming conflict in the municipal code, such a one, though in 
 morecjurtly phrase will reply, "Don't 'bother me— ask Tissiman." ^His 
 transcript of the session is so accurate that he can trip up the best of our 
 reporters. He finds an able assistant in Pro. Clerk Weir. Tissiman s last 
 work has been boiling bylaws into a compact shape after pruning and weed- 
 ing them. The pamphlet embodying this, as finally approved by the Coun- 
 cil H Smyth, Mayor, represents a herculean task, which nobody el89 
 could have accomplished, and which debarred him from many holidays, m 
 '94. Tissiman's hobby is "pets." His eagle having died, he has adopted 
 two gaunt herons, tyrannized over by a plump sea gull. He is negotiating 
 -to import storks from Holland. 20 years ago he could do the work of the 
 office eaaily Bingl t- h a nd e d i no w fu l ly occupied , t h ou g h having Pro. QlTk.

 RELIGION AND MORALITY. 
 
 -■■^■' ■ -- ■ • ■ ' ■ ■ . . 
 
 "* If the e'even or twelve columns of sennons and church announteineiite 
 
 ' pubiiHlud in the dailies evory week, liie interest tajcen in revivals, the well- 
 tilled churches and tli ir brisk alii hi umI societies and the ever incieasmg 
 uumber of tUeir chuich uiontulieM U- .my cciterion, the religious therniome- 
 tor inuse be away up As to morality, the streets are monotonous in the 
 extieme, so far as enlivening fights go. A big concourse is a good test. 
 Last first of July we had ITjOQO, including visitors, in our city, and >V 
 Young the chief of police, t6ld me not without a tinge of professional 
 melancholy m his voice, that it brought no grist to the justice mill— not 
 evfea a solitary plain drunk, mucji less a D D. He says th^t the vast 
 •majority of the police court ca^es, are either simple drunks or dog-tax and 
 poll-tax laggards and other offenders against bylqgal ordinances. , 
 
 MARKET SQUARE, 
 
 ^ ^ This larW open is paved, and divided east and west into two streets 
 
 by the old Towi'i Hall, and its con tiniNition into the Market Shed. Ihis 
 shed on Saturdays, contains over 200 farmers wives and daughters, each 
 withlicr dressed poultry, eggs, butter and honey. It was formijrly an open 
 
 ( shed but after long and persistent agitation in the columns of my paper, 
 the Market (Juide, I got, the Council to board it in—a great boon to these 
 ladies who sell there, especially in the cold of winter. The Council will 
 probably yield to the arguments of that journal, and ti^d some way of 
 " heating the shed in cold wea-her when they build the ^ew market house. 
 Outside the shed is a long row of seafes^also occupied by women selling all, 
 
 ^ kinds of vegetables fruit and produce On both sides of the west division 
 of the market from King street to Wellington .street, the next parallel 
 street are farmers' wagons backed to the sidewalks, and as close to each . 
 other as possible. If a farmer w^nts a good place, or indeed the certainty 
 of any place to squeeze ir^ he must be on the ground bright and early, and 
 I have seen the stands pretty well filled by 7 a. m. On the east side of tiie 
 shedsare two uows again of wagons, that next the shed being reserved gen- 
 eral& for wood, hay and straw, though it is not only invaded sometimes by 
 the throng of produce wagons, but Wellington street near the market is 
 also useci The Market Guide always advocated abolition of market tolls, 
 \ ' which has been for some time accomplished. The «dvrat of a thousand 
 farmers on Saturday causes no surprise, a'nd double that number have visit- 
 ed the city Our Wednesday market would be thought quite large in many 
 towns elsewhere. King street isUoo thronged for trotting, and the milk- 
 men belated througlf lagging to gossip with women, spurs his jaded steed 
 through side streets. The sight of the variety and early arrival of truit 
 and vegetables, together with the immense quantities of dairy produce 
 marketed, gives the stranger ^n object lesson on the resources ot Kent. 
 The rich alluviaj soil of which raises 1,154,815 bushels of fall wheat, out of 
 16 512 lOG of the Provincial total, 148,813 bushels of Jaeans out of a Pro- 
 
 4 / '.viicial' total of 664,310, and is in the front u»<rk for corn, which is^ also in 
 the restricted pea.-growing and the still more limited peach-growmg dis

 broducts have been grown successively. Return tickets at a very low sp^-

 Police, in addition to his ipultiplied duties as such, and those of harbor 
 master, regulating the berthing of vessels and the cutting of ice, is also tru- 
 ant officer, and from his experience is satisfied that a special Truant Officer 
 should be appointed, with his time free to supervise this important trust. 
 New school will probably be built on south side of river to cost $35,000.

 In the Ursuline Academy, a beautiful three story building, (cost $30.- 
 OQO,) (Jailed the "Pines", standing in extensive grounds, an excellent educa- 
 tion, both primary and advanced and finishing, is given t© young ladies in 
 practical and ornamental branches, by the Ursuline Religious. This Aca- 
 demy was founded 34 years ago by the Ursuline Religious from Paris. 
 Academic, Commercial or Teachers' course can be selected. Music, paint- 
 ing and the ceramic art are here pursued, and I have seen some china paint- 
 ed by the pupils and baked in their ceramic oven, in the highest style of that 
 difficult art. Before the pupils leave for their summer holidays, a public 
 exhibition is given under the patronage of His Lordship the Bishop of Lon- 
 don. Special attention to deportment Scores of young ^ladies enter as 
 -pupils from Maine to California and even South America. 
 
 Yet another, and a most important educational factor, is the Chatham 
 Business College, founded byiihe proprietor, U, McLaehlan, 19 years ago. 
 He has recently co-opted his brother, M. McLachlan, (3 years teacher in the 
 College, and afterwards associate proprietor of the International Business 
 College, Bay City, Mich.), as partner, and the style of the firm runs, D. Mc- 
 Lachlaa <L-Co. Thorough practical instruction is given in all branches of 
 CommercieU, arithtnetic, penmanship, business epistolary composition, and 
 actual office work, including calculation of debentures, so that the faithful 
 pupil can at once take his place in any office however large The best 
 , proofs of the success of the Gollecce are given by the number of pupils who 
 pass by otbeT similar institutions in larger cities tp come here, and by warm 
 certificates from our Mayor, Manson Campbell, lai^e fanning mill manufac- 
 turer ; SutherUnd, Innes & Co:, of Chatham, RfJ^neapolis, Liverpool and 
 New York ; American National Bank of Pueblo, Cal ; H. H. Hadley, of 
 New York, and from a host of others. There is hardly an important city in 
 
 — the States, where successful graduat.es are not to be found in posts of com- 
 
 " moroikl-trust. The Principal or his partner will answer further queries.

 I have not pretended to give a complete history of Ohatham If yott 
 want any further information, write to me, enclosing stamps for 
 reply, and you will get your answer promptly. I have dealt little with the 
 past, much with the present, slightly with the future, which is full of hope. 
 If Chaf-ham gets tKe electric railway, it will b« 1 5,000 in 7 ye^irs, in any 
 case 20,000 in 20 years. And now gentle reader good-bye. Come on Mr.
