All England is still talking ot the late iir William Gall, the eminent Court phy- sician and medical authority, and the press is laden with sketches of the man and stories illustrating his remarkable career. The I'M Mall Gatette says of him that he was one of the ablest, most original and striking personalities which a somewhat conventional profession has prodooed in this generation. Everything about him picturesque ; his humble origin an a son of a village trader; bis Napoleonic oast of face and f nature , bis brilliant oonveiBa- tion, teeming with epigrams, paradoxes and quotations ; his extreme simplicity of ife at home, and his infloenoe and repata lion at Court and in " society," combined to make him one of the most notable and enigmatical pernonages of tbe day. A small adventure, which by a mere chance inter- view as a boy- guide introduced him to no leas a perioa than the resident governor of Say's Hospital, was the opening event of Qia great career. The governor was struck with tbe beauty and intelligence of the boy, and his frank story of bis love of reading, and he promised him a free edu cation. From the Blueuoat school, where he was trained, be was translated by his patron to the gallipot ot Guy's hospital, and bsginning with the humblest offices of pharmacy, be rose by dint of talent and hard work M the highest summits of fashion an a physician, the friendship of priuoes, and all the honors which the ancient universities could pour upon him. From the first, those who knew him intimately predicted bis brilliant career. Of a manly and massive type ol comeliness, arid with fascinating manners, he knew how to combine the graces ol the courier with the sagacious profundity of manner which is one of tbe secrets ol success in tbe difficult career of a court phy tioian. He cultivated tbe art of conver- sation with as much assiduity as the lie methods of bedside diagnosis auc palatable prescriptions. As an orator he poeaessed rare gifts ; and when Gull wi to deliver an oration, either at the College of Physician* or at any of the more popu lar medical assemblies, there was aure to be a crowded attendance, and there si ways was something well worth hearing. Be delighted in paradox and in piquan generalizations. He did not fear to shook bis profustional brethren by a well- matnred and aggressive incredulity of the value of medicines. Tbe great mistake oi the peer, be once told a popular audience is that they cannot be reasoned oat of their belief that disease comes by 1'rovi denes and goes by medicine. His mint- water treatment of rheumatism shook the fouula lions of many a well established system ot medication, and the results which be achieved by tbe adoption of what were a the time considered almost N ihilist theories of therapeutics made bis wards in Gay's hospital. To those old-school practitioners who ticket every symptom, and have a dozen drugs for every disease which thsy can label, Gull was a type cf disappointment and despair, bat even they bad to aoknow ledge that he understood the man better than they oould treat tbe disease, and thai his patients worshipped him. and bad i happy knack of recovering without swallow ing all the time-honored doses of tbe pbar macofoiia. Many are the stories ot his oleverueis in disconcerting inquiiilive Ktients by brilliantly ambiguous answers i one great lady, who was determined to gather from bur what was the nature of the fatal illness of a patient as to which hi was not willing to be too precise, n< replied: "Madam, she is dying o caohexia," with which she was perfectly satisfied. lie was an elaborate note-taker and was wont to refresh his memory with notes of tbe past consultations before each patient was introduced into the room, so that old patients, and with justice, were delighted with the accuracy with which he recalled tbeir histories and symp tooiH, and were sometimes won to set this down to soperbamsn retentivsnsse of memory, and to an intense personal interest in tbeir oasa which sharpened their sense of sarprue and gratitude. Great success, and the worsnip of all the duchesses, natural]; translated itself into one of tbe large* contemporary professional income*, and Sir William Gall acquired great wealth but it might have been much greater bu for his large generosity in refusing teei from these who oould ill afford to pa; them, and for tbe moderation of bis de mands where superfluous liberality woult readily have increased bis moderate fees Hs was devoted to bis hospital work, an< woulu visit bis wards late at night when ever an anxious case demanded bis presence. He was idolized by the students who delighted in bis lucid diagnosi i, his in oisive teaching, and bis philosophic generalizations. He wae tbe friend of many a poor philosopher and straggling scientist In thought he was a pupil of Bpincza auc a friend of Hinton, whom be did much to bring forward into fame and to professions fortune, and to whose life he has written i touching and lympathetio introduction Seldom his a court physician, well veriec in the minor acts of life, shown so wide and oatbolio a love of science and philosophy for thtir own sake; seldom has a man been able to combine such brilliant material success with simplicity of life and devotion throughout a busy carter to the higher forms ol mental culture.

Detective Murray has received the fol- owing letter from Alderson dt Sons, Civil and Mining Engineers, Stewart Buildings, <ew York: ' De*r Sir, Having had two intimate 'riends disappear scon eflertheir arrival in Canada to commence the life of gentlemen arraers, induced me to write and lay the particulars before yea, in hope that the iangerons advertisements inserted in the Condon Timet and other papers by certain Irms, who have lived for yean upon their 11-gotten gains, may be put a stop to in the ntereits of humanity. The first case that oame to my notice while living in London, England, was that of Asgustos Rawlings, bo resided with hia parents at Maude Villa, Campbellville, London, who was at- tracted by the heading of an advertisement n the Timn to the sons of gentlemen and others, stating pupils were received and taught farming, etc., terms on applioation, etc., to a firm in Finsbnry Pavement, hich I was informed was paid 1,000, one- third of which waa paid to an agent n Toronto, who was Mr. , who tept the London offices well supplied with monthly pamphlets describing all sorts of [arms for sale, etc. My friend left home n high glee, arrived in due course at Toronto, and was forwarded to Hamilton, from which place be wrote to bis mother as well as myself, with a sketch of the ear- rounding country. His next letter was from Niagara Falls, when he said his next week's letter would contain a sketch of the place in which he was going to locate. Bat the next week's mail arrived without tbe promised letter and he has never been heard from since. His parents are both dead, but they never heard what became ol him. 1 be second case was that of Frank Ki-gbie, the son of a deceased British officer, who died in India and left him small fortune, which he invested in an Ontario farm, first being educated for the army and plucked in his mathematical examination He was attracted by the advertisement already referred to , paid his fee ; arrived in Toronto, consigned to , who sold him an interest in a farm for 300, situated on the margin of a lake in a lonely place north of Lindsay. He was swindled ont of his money, with the balance he went into another place, which he described as unsatisfactory and stated that he distrusted bis associate* and begged of me to restore him to civil ization. I replied, and urged him to come to my private quarters, where he oould tint a home until we got him something to do Bat my letter was returned marked "Gone away," and be has never been beard from siooe to my knowledge, although my ion and he were very friendly and he bad done bis utmost to find him. I hope that tbis Benwell investigation will be tbe means o destroying a dangerous conspiracy wbiot has nourished for years in London an< Ontario." The name of the agent in Toronto re ferred to in the letter is given by the writer bat Detective Murray thinks it prudent no to disclose it, at least at the present time Detective Murray has received a letter from Scotland Yard, and one that Chief o Police Grasett bad from Kngland concern ing the oases upon which he is working. He is not at liberty just now to publish thsi contents, bat they indicate the keen inter eat taken in certain quarters in Knglend in these cakes of farm pupils, >uil it understood they have an important bearin on tbe business.

ABM- i m.-.. i, Hamilton- The White Dorr. Faith (jrafton had been an invalid for BnKlan<r* Beet Batter Hade iu Denmark. Danish butter, which commands top prices in our markets, is all made from soared or ripened cream, as most of our own butter is, though there are advocates ot the sweet-cream system, and many who practice it. Tbe new Danish system has proved so successful that a description of it, translated from a Danish publication for the Dairy, is worthy of attention in this country. On the day before it is intended to ripen cream a quantity of whole milk is taken (H per oent. ot the quantity of cream to be soured) and one- ttfth of purs cold water is added to it. It is poured into a olean can or earthenware jar, and heated to a temperature of aboul 'JO degrees Fahrenheit, packed in hay, and allowed to stand for twenty boon. If the external temperature has not been too low it will then have thickened to an even and slightly gelatinous consistency ; bat if should be lumpy or oarled, the soaring process has gone too far, and it would spoil any cream to which it waa added. The cream, alter being separated, is heated to a temperature of 66 to 68 de- grees Farenbeit, or a little less in summer and a little more in winter. It is then poured into the cream vessel and well stirred, after which tbe sour milk is added the mixture being again stirred, oovsred over and left perfectly juiel for nineteen or twenty hours. Care ihoold be taken to keep the place in wbiob tbe cream is ripened of an even temperature; and il there is any difficulty ia securing tbis ob- ject, tbe vessel should be protected by s packing of bay. At tbe end of the time named the cream should be ol an oven gelatinous consistency, and of a iligbtly soar, but sweet odor. If it is lumpy or emits an unpleasant odor the soaring has gone too far. and the butter will not be first- rate. Experience, bowsvsr, render u those who practice tbe system very pro* floient, so that tailors is not at all com mon. St. Jamet' Oatette. Mrs. Mary Olenant Leavltt. Mrs. Mary Clement Leavitt, wbo is now in tbis country, was appointed to tbe office ot World's Organizer of the Woman's Tern peranosy Union in the year 1884, since which time she has travelled 62.000 miles and addressed meetings in tbe Hawaiian Islands, New Zealand, Australia, Tssmanis, Japan, China, Siam, Singapore, Barmah India, Ceylon, Mauritius, Madagascar Natal, Orange Free Stale and Caps Colony In all of these countries Mrs. Leavitt organized Women's 0. T. Unions, the number of such being 75, which number has Binoe been doubled by the unions them selves. Mrs. Leavitt has also formed many White Cross Booiatiss in several lands where they bad not existed before, as well as about twenty Men s Temperance So- oieties among tbs Japanese, Indians and Malagasy. Mrs. Leavitt has no salary. Her ser vims are given freely to her heroic and self-denying work. Not only has ibesaori fioed home and country to it, bat has given op a position in which year by year she oould financially have made considerable provision for herself. Tbe mission has been supported mainly by voluntary contributions of friends by the way, tbe American W. C. T U. having made op all deficiencies. The kind contri- butions of friends in Australia largely aided Mrs. Leavitt's Aiiatio work, and during her stay in England, which she reached on the 15th of last July, it is hoped softioient money may be contributed to defray her current expenses, and to sub- stantially aid tbe further work of her missiuo. As England has not previously contributed, it is sincerely hoped this will not prove difficult. e> I can't stay lone," as tbe man about to be hanged said to tbe sheriff when re- quested to be seated.

It was vory sad to see this sweet young girl, just bud- ding into beautiful womanhood, stricken like a rose by ths frost. Sadder still waa it from tbe fact that the had just plighted her troth to a noble young man, whose devotion for her was so great that i amounted almost to worship. Although, from the nature uf her in jury, which was) spinal, it was iinootsible that Faith should ever recover so as to leave ber oouch. Roger Cheatham, her lover remained aithtul to hih troth more devvted and oving than ever, so that his very existence) seemed bound up in hera, and bt asked no dearer joy in life than to serve her, and comfort ber, and be near her. Tbs love of these young peopit was very Mautiful. Suffering, no doobt, hsd made) it purer than it otherwise oould ever have) Men, though the essence from the first wiu .ike tbs fragrance of a spotless flower. What sweeter picture oould be imagined than tbut brave, strong, faitlRul vonnif over sitting by the bedside ot his betrothed of her who never oould be bis and read- ng to the pale, patient, beautiful girl somo story or " poem of her choice" while the) lunch of wild flowers which he bad brought lay in the slender white hand on ths white counterpane ? So for HX long, bitter-sweet years thin christened love was a-ri|>mng. Then B the awful shock, tbe crashing blow ; 'or tho stricken life began to fade ont, and, ike a terrible dream, the truth fastened tself upon Roger Cheatham's soul that hid Delovod wts passing away from him ; that the frost's bitten rose was strewing iti last petals over this earth of ours grown dreary. Faith herself did not strive to conceal tho truth from him. She told him one day, when tbs setting sun streamed low aor'.* ber oouob, naoked with tbe shadows o! elm leaves, that in a few short weeks she felt that her infleriogs would be over, and ha would be free again. Fr>e ,' Roger Cbeatham bent over tho weary face on the pillow, and three time* touched tbe forehead and tbe loose golden hairs sacredly with bis lips, while Faith Grafton's cheeks were wet with his tears. It was enough. Faith could die bapty now ; for she knew that Roger e lovs was) of that saorad kind which a man never gives bat onoe.and having ones given never can take back again. In the ecstasy of that moment ibe said, with a prophet. o inten- sity which thrilled tbe young man like A voioe from heaven : Believe me, Roger, I will not laavs you waiting all alone. In some way I believe) that I shall be) permitted to come to you, and to give you insurance that oar leva, broken here, is to be united again In heaven. Something tolls me that my sonl shall hovir over years it may not be In any visible form, bat its presence shall ': j known to you." Then she stretched oat her hand weakly, and he took it in hiit strong grasp. And so they ocmmancd silently for a long time after tbe son bad gone down, and the first stars were twiuk ling in tbs sky. After this tbe sick girl seemed to slip away out of life, ss a dewdrop that ha j been loosened slips from the petal of % flower. " It's all right, mother, ' she said one morning, while her mother's tears dropped on tbe wasted hands. " Once I thought I was leaving ths son benind, but thu light has moved up higher, mother. It is away over on tbs other tide now." When the end came it oame ). ke a bagiu- ning. There was no sorrow nor patting away of death with tbe white bands. \ sweet slumber like s veil floated over tbo girl's eyes, and with sn ineffable smile sho pat her right baud into her mother's hande and ber left band into her lover's hands, and gave herself op to tbe aoi el and BO it was all over. One evening, about a ween after :h3 funeral, Boger Cheatbam was coming from tbe woods over beyond the o< metery, with both hands full of great clusters of wili (lowers. It was tbe sunset hour ths one) hour when Faith had mads that straage, sweet promise which be would never let <> as long as he lived " I wonder," ba thought, " how she will come to me ? For I know that she will come if tbe gates ol heaven are not forever Issed opon tha spirits of tbe dead. Just then, over Roger Chuatham's head, oame that sweet winnowing sound which seems peculiar to the wings of a dove. He) looked jaickly op, and there, hovering over him as white ts tbe edge ot a gam- mer aland, and as beautiful, was a solitary dove. For a moment it poised with up- ward and downward motion of its wingo. Then from its bills something oame whirl- ing and drifting . bat ere it bad touched the ea'th the dove mounted toward tha rosy westand disappeared.
