The British Ambassador has done something to 'revive the oldpr ti^aditions of diplomacy, and .,to remind E'uro|)e that there is another, and ,o|t^ a better, way of carrying On intema- tiq^al negotiation than the briital Bismarck- iau method.. Lord Diifferm hks' beaten the Turks at tlieir own game. Their diplomacy is always supple and dilatory! a.nd it suited the British Ambassador to meet the Turi(s with theii- own weapons. The truth is tl^t neithpr party was very anxious to bring mat- ters iq a point. The English Government was n6t eager that the convention should be signed, and the Turks were unwilling to en- ter into it on tU^ only conditions on which England would agree. Both parties had thus resource to a dilatory diplomacy. The Turks had many difficulties to raise, but Lord Dofferin more than matched them. He had an unfailing supply ol criticisms, obj c- tions, proposals, and counter-proposalfi. When the convention was about to be sign- ed some new point was always raised, and thus the game was kept on. from day to day and week to week. Then came the victory of Tel-el-Kebir, and the Turks found they had been outwitted and baffled. Lord Duf- ferin told the Sultan that the convention was no longer necessary, and the Sultan was bound to admit the force of the plear Xhe British Mmister has eince been consol- ing the Palce wit'i proiuse assurances of the friendliness and good-will of England. The Turks know very well, however, that they have been out-manoeuvred by the Eng- lish Ambassador, but Lord Dufferin deserves well of his country for relieving them of dangeronls allies at a critical moment. It is long since a diplomatic contest has been con- ducted with so much tact, airoitness, and success. The Snccesaxul Man. "You do know the new owner of Wood- lands, then?" " He stands before you.

The man who succeeds is the popular man â€" the person who has hosts of acquaint- ances, and who does not hesitate to ask a favor, any more than he does to do one. He cultivates his acquaintances and blos- soms out before each one. He is always glad ito see them, and always has a smile and a pleasant word. Beyond a certain point he is intimate with none, knowing that a man with strong friendships is sure to have some decided enemies, and an en- mity often is most inconvenient. The pop- ular man knows all the prominent members of the club but be never neglects those who fill the ranks of mediocrity. He is especially thoughtful of bis elders. £ ery- thing that comes to his mill is grist. There is nothing hypocritieai in all this. The popular man is what he seems to be. He wishes well to every one, himself in- cluded, and he would do no one ftn ill-turn. Ha wishes^ one to do bim harm. His desire is to make tb ings pleasant to others thatothers may make things pleasant unto bim. He doee not n^lect the harder work of lile. If he is in a profession, he studies diligently for some hours each day, when there is no opportunity to cultivate the social part of his nature, or to render his relations with others more friendly if he is in toade, he docS' not neglect to learn his business tborongbly from the bottom up. What he does he dOes well, no matter how snaU it is. Sach a man is sure to command success. He is thorough aad can be depended upon lu purely Lnainsss relations, and ii bis so- cial life he charms and attracts his acquaiut- ansei, so that every one wants to help him.

" The WalJa Walla SteOeaman of the 9th mst speaking of the new pass through the Selkirk range sf mouhtam's, says: The border Umd of Her B.itish Majesty's do- minions, across the 59tb parallel, is now as- sumii^g unusual importance, owing to the discovery of anew pass in the Selkirk range, Which one was never before supposed to ex- ist. Major Rogers, of the CmadLin Pacific railway, is the discoverer o^ thi^ important pass, which is hencefoi-th to be known as tne Roger's Pass. Ttie discovery cannot bo over-estimated, for it will give an impetus to the building of the road it never before had; as it saves the length of road arcund the Upper Columbia Big Bend, and will make the Canadian Pacific some 500 miies shorter than any line now, or being built. The Crops in Manitoba. The crop report prepared by the Assist- ant Traffio Manager, Mr. Harden of the C. P. Railway, ha^ appeared knd contains re- turns from 88 points from agents of the Company and postmasters throughout the Manitoba and the North- West. iLe season on the whole was favorable. The spring was late, and in many places wet, so that seed- ing was delayed, while the fall being remark* ably dry, did not suit root crops, although of course, it enablcvl farmers to house their j^rain in fine condition. Rust is reported from only one point, ReinlaaH, near Emer- son. At Bow bray, 90 miles from Emerson, there was a hail btorin on July 24th, which seriously damaged grtun. Late and early frosts are reported from one or two points, but crops throughout the Province at large did not sutfer to any appreciable extent from that cause. The average yield of wheat from all points is 32 bushels per acre: the largest yield reported was at Millford, where 104 bustiels were thieshed off two acres. The smallest yield was in Bowbray districts, where the July hail storm played havoc with the crops. The yield of oats all over averaged 44 bushels per acre, barley 30, roots from 250 to 500, aud peas were grown from 20 to 25 bushels flax seed was erown and the yield was fair the average yield of potatoes was 274 bushels, the larg- est yield reported being at Selkirk, where 400 bushels were raised off half an acre. Au enormous area of new land was brccen up this year, ready for next.y ear's crop. Stock- raising is still in its infancy. In some of the older districts farmers are importing good breeds from E stem Canada, and the richness of the ;rrass will enaMe them to turn out summer-fed stock at the minimum of cost. Agricultural machines are coming into use all over. Iu one district 43 sell- binders were at work in a field. Settlers everywhere complain of the difficulty cf geS ting prodnoe to market^ and the cry is uni* veiial for railwftys. Owing to the distanoe from the market rettlerj from many parts have been deterred from growing grain. It is only a year and a half smce the Syndicate took over the Canadian Pacific Ri Iway, and already the new road has been pushed 500 miles westward from this trunk t' eie runs the C. P. R., Southwestern and Sou« them Colonization to th3 south, and in a north-westerly direotiou, the Portage, Westboume and North-western, while twelve other branch lines, mostly running into southern Manitoba, have been pre ject- ed. Settlers at one or two points com- plain of speculators and land companies locking up land for speculation purpose*, while at other parts new anivals were dis- â- Jktisfied with the Government land le.ula- tions. Other settlen are rapidlv amaraing wealth, »nd new arrivftis are contented and hopefuL From January to June three thou- sand settlers entered tbe country from July to the end of September that number was probaUy increased by ^teen thousand.
