We had a very pleasant visit yesterday from the Rev. John Cbisholm, B. A. of Mdntyre, Ont., a re-jent gradoate of Queen's, who hap just returned frdm an extended tour of Europe. He visited England, Ireland. Scotland, i^nce, Switzerland, Italy and Belgium, ani brought back new ideas, and tales of the sights he han seen and plac«8 be has visited. He has a high opinion of the North of Ireland whose people he found clean and contented, frugal and industrious. While at Londondarry he attended a fair at which were farmers and the people of the whole surrounding district, and in appearance and intelligence he considered them the equals of the people who would be brought together at a siniilar gathering in Kingston, Toronto, or any other Canadian city, while the -quality of the horses, sheep and cattle was infinitely superior to anything he had ever seen in the best counties of Wastem Ontario. I was particularly struck, he said, with the absence of tiees, and the peculiar shape and smaU size of the f aims. This however, was com- pensated for by the superior quality of the stock they raised, cows there selling for 80 dollars. "The people" don't grow wheat, but import their flour from this country, finding it more profitable so to do. In regard to their polities, the feelin.; AGAIK6T THE FBAXCHISX BUJi is something intense and the name of Gladstone is perfectly abhorred. The reason of this is that the property is chiefly in the hands of the Protestants and in the event of the bill passing they will be outvoted, even in Derry, by the Ecman Catholics, who own only a small portion of the property and ruled by people who haye really very little interest in the land. In tbe North the people fear Catholic supremacy more than they do the rule of the Landlords, with whom nevertheless, they are bj no means satisfied although they pay the rent and keep the law. From Derry I went to Bundooran, a seaside watering place, and there on Sabbath afternoon I attended a meeting of Nation- aUsts which was addressed by Pamell and other celebrities. Parnell then expressed his assurance tnat at the next general elec- feund the peopile divided in their politics into the Church party and the Liberal party, the chief subject of dispute being the school question. From Antwerp I retomed ' to London, from whence I went to Liverpool- and set sail for Canada again. NEWTODNnLAKn 1IATTEB8. Before coming we%t, however, I visitisd Newfoundland and found the people there strongly opposed to confederation. The majority of the people are Irish Roman Cathohcs who have the idea that union with Canada would be as bad for Newfoundland as they think Ireland's tmion with Bnf^and is for her. Hence they are bitterly opposed to confederation. Among tha Protestants also there aremanywhoopposeiiitin 1866 and who still feel as strongly as they did then. Owing to the recent riots between Orange- men and Cathohcs, party politics are hkely to be divided on religions lines, Protestant against Catholic. The school system ot the island is the most contemptible that eould possibly be deyised. Tae govern- ment divides the money fer educational pur- poses in proportion to tiie numerical strength of each religions sect. The consequence is, each denomination has its own public schools, and small towns have several very poor schools instead of havesg one large good pubhc school where the rising generation could be pr*perly educated. As now conduct- ed, each religious denominatinon forms a set of its own. the children as well as the grown people minghng with none but those of their own set. POLITICS m THS MABITIHE PBOVINCES. I also spent some time in the Maritime provinces and I think' Fielding's success in Halifax was due. chiefly to his personal popularity. The views of the people of Noya Scotia and New Brunswick are just the same as they were in .1882 and a general election would have the same result as it had then." "I have been spending a couple of days here seeing some of the friends of my col- lege days and as I have more to call on yet I will have to leave you. So long " Olenels Council.

I was told by a number of priests with whom I conversed that idthough Pamell is a Protest- ant, he is held higher in the estimation of the people than even O'Connell. They name bridges, stieeta, squares aed buildings after him, and even Pamell potatoes are numerous. IN THE SOUTH AND WEST. After leaving Derry I visited Kerry, Galway Donegal, Cork, and all through the west and south, but I much preferred the north, rhe 'people of the southdo not cultivate their lands as well as their foUow countrymen of the north, and have not the same thrifty and well-to-do air. The prospects are that there will not be a largs emigration from Irfeland for yj'ars to come. The priests are strongly opposed to it fiom the fear of losing the people to the church the politicians are opposed to it because of the support they would lose in the event of tne passage of the franchise bill; and the people themselves are opposed to it because they confidently expect soon to be made absolute owners of the land by act of Parliament. I sdso visited Scotland and fotmd the people of the northwestern highlands and western islands as mdch dissatisfied with their land laws as the Irish. The people there are naturally Uberal and opposed to the Lords. They are not in favor of the abohtion of the House of Lords, but agitate for its) reform, arguing that it should be elective and that they might just as well have hereditary judges and hereditary phy- sicians as hereditary legislators. UJNIK)!! AMP THE CONTINENT. I spent ten days in London and was present at the groat Liberal demonstration in West Kensington, at which there were over a hundred thousand people present. From Loudon I went to Paris and spent six days there. Paris impres^bd me with its beauty and cleanliness. It had not the vast' awe and inspiring effoet of London, bat had a Ught fantastic air which vras a rpeUtion' to me.
