The old fashion of stamping melted seal- ing wax on the envelope has oome in again, a fashion that, in America at least, has been obsolete for nearly half a century. At all the stationery counters boxes which contain several sticks of sealing wax in popular colors are shown with a handsome silver or gold brnnz) seal upon which nay be engraved the initial letter or the family crest, as ordered. The taper, the stick of wax and .be daintily engraved seal are now requisites of the fashionable writing table. To seal a letter with nicety, take plenty of time. When the letter is ready, and the taper lighted, lay the seal on the table at your right hand. Then bold the wax above tbe flame of the cacti's and apply it to the envelope with a circular motion ; moisten the seal and bold tne envelope to tbe flame a moment to soften the wai ; stamp rqaarely with tbe neat, leaviug a clear, perfect Impression. Il requires practice to do even no small a thing as this appears to be with neatness and dispatch. It is said that an EoglUh apprentice is not allowed to take a proof impression of a seal until be has worked at the business f >r two years. As soon as tbe cuntom is again universally adopted of uniiig the sealing-wax method on letters, the poat-cffi je authorities willlprobablyjshut down on the whole bumoeas, as it largely increases tbe trouble of handling letters and adds tons to tbe weight of poetal matter. Oare phould be taken in using the taper. It will be remembered that the lovely and lamented wife of tbe poet Longfellow burned herself to death in ber husband's library while sealing a letter. This had much to do with tbe custom going out of fashion here. Oltir-ii HI rll-l-. If, in the domain of art, we wish to corns to a fair judgment of the yet undeveloped possibilities of woman, it will be instructive to go back to tbe remote past and contem- plate her actual achievements daring the centuries in which she bad the most feeble ohanoe, by reason o'f an almost universal infidelity concerning her capabilities in any other functions than those of maternity and housewifery.

The country immidiately to tbe north and uorlbwest ot Kdmontou is almost un- known save along the few trails extending from here towards the mountains. Those large rivers taking their rise in the foot bills and first range o( mountains are tbe moil southerly br inches ot tbe great Mac- kenzie Hiver. Leaviug Edmonton (or Jasper House, tbe lirnt river of this sys- tem passed is the Pembina-a stream about eight chains wide carrying a large volume of water in the spring and rainy season, but not subject to rushes of high witer from the mountains, as it does not head far enough into tbe mountains to (eel the effects of the melting scows and glaciers. Tbe banks are high and timbered with a fair growth of poplar, balmof Gilead and in some places of spiuw. The river winds its tortuous course in a general north-eastern direction. Coal in quantities is to be tound on its banks, aud some seams are known that have been burning for years. The watershed which divides the water flawing to tbe north from those which flow to the Saskatchewan is in some places very narrow, the Indians say ouly a day's travsl ; in other words, about 15 or 20 miles. Large quantities of timber are to be found in tbe valleys at the bead of this stream. The MoLeod River is tbe next stream of importance beyond the P<>mbina. Il also flows between high lands clothed with poplar and >me spruce, and is very wind- ing in its course It heads well in the first range Mid is subject to sudden and great floods daring the hot weather or the bum- mer, but dwindles to a small body of water in the fall, witb a wide stretch of gravelly beach on each side. In high water tbis stream will have a width of six chains. It* current is very rapid, rendering it totally atiflt for steamboat navigation. In the lower forty miles of the river is a succession of falls aud basins. Tbe falls are about a mil* apart, over arohy rapids from two to three feet in height. In tbe autumn tbe basins are very deep, with no peroepti ble current, while on the rapids there is uardly water enough to float a canoe. In the summer, with a high stage ot water, the rapids are bid and tbe steady fall of two or three feet to the tuile gives a current of tremendous velocity. Gold in quantities sufficient to pay for the working if access could be bad with provisions, is to be found and will, in time be worked, no doubt. Tbe country along thin river hat at one time been very heavily timbered, but fire* have done their work ber* as well aa further south, aud any timber which still exists ill be found to be surrounded by a network jf muskegs and ereeks. Goal U also to be lound.bul is not likely to be of any economic value for some generations. Sandstone is the enly rock seen in place, while the drift ol tbe kind usually tocud in the ban of some of our western rivers. Tbe Athabasca called by tbe Indians tbe big river" takes its bead far in the mountains, iu western and southern branches rising close to tbe Fraaer and Columbia rivers respectively, and fl iws east to the junction ot tbe McLeod.

Joal is to be seen, bat not in as great quan- tities as on the Pembina and Saskatche- wan. Gold oan also also be found from ths bead of the river to tbe Lauding, but whether in paying quantities or not remains to be demonstrated. Tbe river is about twelve chains wide at the mouth of the McLeod, with a strong current, and could undoubtedly be navigat- ed by steamer as far as the Ghost Rapids, some distance ah ,ve that point. The awful current lasts toOld Fort Aseiciboioe, when tbe river takes a bend to the north ind becomes wider, with more sand bars. Nothing now remai IB to mark the site of Fort Assioiboine save the heaps cause by the (alien chimneys and ths half tilled cellars. It was ti'.uated on a prairie of about two hundred acres, on the north side of the river, and about (arty feet above t. Il was ths connecting link between Edmonton and Lexser Slave Like, and a pack trail extending to tbe north and i cart trail to the couth. The poods were 'orwarded by water via tbe Athabasca and Little Slave River and lake, to tbe U. B. post on tbe west end of the !(ake. The Ipper Atbabaska has very little flat land along It, tbe high banks in many places rising straight from tbe river. A numbei of fine streams oome in from tbe north, some of them rising in cloee proximity to he Hmoky River, notably the BaptUte Jig Hawk, Burnt, Halfbreed and Little Slave Rivers. Then* are from two to five bains wide, and drain a large extent ol country. They are high in tbe spring, but as they do not rise iu tbe mountains they add little to the volume of water that pours lown the Athabasca during June, July and Augunt. After leaving the mouth of 'little Slave River the Athabasca bends away to tbe south with a somewhat swifter current than for the previous eighty miles, ill tbe Landing is reached, thenoe after it* somewhat erratic course it seems to make up its mind and strikes away nortbward to oin it* waters witb those of the great Mackenzie. Much good land, though timbered, oan be 'ound in tbe region traversed by these rivers and muob that is bad, covered with small and itunled growth of poplar, spruce and pitch pine. Much of it, by thorough burning, could be made good grazing laud. Tbe snow is not extensive, and good water is plentiful. Bat, alto getber, il is not a country that will be sought by settlers until the vast prairies both to the south, on tbe Saskatchewan and to tbs north on the Peace River, have been settled. 01 H HM I I I >l t I I II Mitten'.

Gor don Mowat (Xoses Gates), wbiob tuppliet interesting information regnrdmg the weather. The climates described are all those of various parla of tbe 1'roviuce of Outario, wbiob, as the writer remarks, " present* south of the 46th parallel a greater variety of climate than any other uon-mouataiuous district of equal area on this continent." Windsor, though a fall degree farther south than Hamilton, hat almost the same temperature in the mid- summer and midwinter months, with a greater variation in the cold ot different winters than either Hamilton or almost any other part of Ojtario. Tbe Niagara district and southeast coast of Lake Huron have more temperate winters than any other parts of tbe Province, the last named surpassing in equability almost every other district in tbe middle latitudes of this continent. In the very peculiar climate of Pelee Island, tbe Hummers are slightly warmer than on the mainland , the autumn are M warm as on the Ohio Ktver, and tbe season without frost is quite as long a* Memphis, Tennessee. Il is, therefore, not surprising that under these conditions cotton fully matures on the island. The interesting comparisons in- stituted with the Western States and with Europe show that Outario has milder winters than the Missisippi Valley, a couple of Hundred miles farther south, and a much more equable climate than almost every other part of tbe continent east of tbe Rookies and north of Tennessee. Yet it is a fashion ol some people to talk of tbe change' ableneas of tbe climate ot tbe Province as phenomenal. Another popular error, particularly of European prevalence, is that tbe summers of Ontario are short. Tbe tables given shows, however, that this idea is totally unfounded. Toronto differ* little at any season of the year from Bucharest in Roumania, July at Hamilton and Windsor is almost as warm as at Oran in Algiers, or at Jerusalem. May in South- western Ontario is warmer than July at Edinburgh, and September warmer than July at London or Dublin ; almost as warm as July at Paris, Munich, or Berlin. Muob of the Province is warmer (rom June till October than even Vienna. The paper contains much that is new, eurious and in- teresting, and its records, being sustained by the meteorological statements quoted, is calculated to make Ontarians appreciate tbe general excellence of tbeir climate. tb.lntkr . f urr l.r hl> ra. As if Frenchmen had not sufficient excuses for drinking absinthe already, a French priest fresh from Cochin China, has supplied them with another. Absinthe, il is now proclaimed, is an infallible remedy for cholera. A small dose of absinthe, taken iu a glass of claret, will restore oir oulation and warmth. With some patients tbe cure U a* rapid as tbe attack , witb others it is only accomplished after twenty four hours. In a small parish in Cochin China, M.Janin.the priest in queition.oured seventy -three cholera patients out ot seventy six attacked by tbe disease. Six French soldiers in tbe fortress of Suotrang were cured by the some means, while only one died, and he was dying before M. Jauin came. Should one dose of absinthe prove insumaient, M Jauin recommends tbe patient to continue taking il ; be savs ot himself that when attacked by cholera be drank one-third litre of absinthe ia about ten minutes, after which he slept and awoke cured. It is curious (act that after taking five a six does of claret mixed witb absinthe, tbe patients are rarely intoxicated. K, however, they (all asleep in a state of intoxication theyare saved. In oase of an i -ihutii in-lit quantity being taken death is sure to ensue. In tbe long run, however, il is safe to say that absinthe will kill many more Frenchmen than cholera. Pall Mali Qaatitt.

Hi.nrrr ! the Trade. (Jsnejr Weskly Ki press, JUD* list.) Upward* of 100 gentlemen interested in agricultural pursuits sot down on Wednes- day evening to a banquet at the Pomme d'Or Hotel, set out in excellent style by Mom. Mouraud, on tbe occasion of a pre- sentation to Mr. E. P. Fowler, a gentleman who lor many years hat been a large exporter of Jersey oattle, and who, in fact, oommenead the trade wbieb baa been pro- duetive of so muob benefit to tbe agricul- turists of the island. Some idea of the value of this trade, which owes to a large extent it* value to Mr. Fowler, may be gleaned from the fact ot 1 1 ,000 having been at length given for a Jersey oow. The service* Mr. Fowler baa thus been tbe means of rendering to tbe island led to the proposal to make him a testi- monial of tbe appreciation by the Jersey farmers of the value ol the trade he had been the means ot introducing, and tbe benenoial results that had accrued to them thereby. This proposal WSB well responded to, the result being that over 800 persons Bubeonbed to the testimonial, wbiob oon- mated of a massive silver salver, a gold chronometer watch (nupplied by Mr. J. V. Genge, silversmith), aud a purse containing 350 sovereign*. They were accompanied by an address, beautifully executed by Mr. W. J. Oxier, containing the whole of tbe uamee of the subscribers to the testimonial After the dinner had been disposed ol and tbe health of tbe Queen given and drank with the usual honor*, Tbe Chairman, Mr. H. P. D'Auvergnt, proposed the toast ot the evening, tbe health of Mr. Edward Parsons Fowler, who, be said, commenced the trade ot exporting Jersey oattle at the age of 18, in opposition to bis own father. He was tbe first ex porter of Jersey oattle to America, com- mencing in 1842, and later on supplied great part of tbe nobility and gentry of England witb tbe island breed of oattle. Mr. Fowler also extended his opera- tions to the Cape of Good Hope. Natal and India, and he (tbe Chair- man) hoped and believed that a great im- petus would he given to tbe importation to our Indian empire. From a beardless boy a* he was when he commenced bis career of exporter of Jersey oattle, Mr. Fowler bad ripened into a green old age. H* had *x- ported annually from 700 to 800 cattle from .he island during several years. Taking the** at an average value ot VK, they bad an annual value of 114,000 aocrving to th* .aland through Mr. Fowler's labor*. Hs aad now reached hi* 66th birthday, and it lad been resolved to present him with a memorial of tbe value the Jersey farmer* attached to tbe benefit he had been th* means of securing to tbe island by his mak- ing so widely known tbe value of the island breed ot oattle. This bad resulted in th* present which he had now the pleasure of banding over to Mr. Fowler, the salver, tbe watch, and tbe 250 sovereigns -the latter contained in the old Jersey traditional " "tucking foot." He bad great pleasure in making the presentation of these to Mr. Fowler, who for nearly half a century had been laboring in a manner that bad so vastly benefited the island, and be trusted that be might he spared yet many years to carry on tbe tutat remunerative trade, witb benefit to himself and the whole island of Jersey (loud applause). Mr. Fowler, who was considerably affected by tb* proud position in whioh he waa placed, wai on rising received with loud cheers. He expressed bis thanks for the great kindness he had received amongst tbe farmers of Jersey. He bad done nothing more than bis duty, to the best of his skill and energy. He bad received at tbeir bands what he believed no English- man bad ever received before or anything like it. In carrying on this export trade be bad crossed the Atlantic forty times, and bad been tbe mean* of bringing tb* Jersey oattle largely before tue notio* ol American breeders. After Jersey cattle were known and appreciated in America, Jerseymen found out what could b* don* to increase the value of tbeir island breed. They had got prices that were never dreamed of by the moat tan- guins amongst them 40 years ago, and if tbe quality wer* kept up th* Jsrsey oattle would still retain their present proud position. Mr. Fowler then made some very pertinent remarks respecting tbe artificial system of feeding, now so much in vogue, and reoommeuded a return to tbe more natural system, pointing out tbe great difficulty that was often experienced with cattle when taking them across the Atlantic and feeding them on the ortho- dox principle for the development ol those qualities tor which they were in such demand. He advitwd them to teed their oattle on plain food and not to resort to feeding which had been found so detri- mental to them. (Cheer*.) If they kept up tbe fattening system of feeding they must necessarily destroy tbeir good milk ingqualitiee, and be advised them in tbeir own interest to pay special beed to this fact. He concluded by tbanking them heartily for tbe honor they had done him. (Loudapplanne.) Mr. C.
