THE RADICAL PROGRAMME.

On the Bth September, Mr Chamberlain, M.l., addressed a large meeting at Warrington, and his speech is interesting as show ing the policy the Radicals intend to adopt in the forthcoming election!. Alluding to the recent split betneeu the Radicals ond the Moderate Liberals, Mr Chamberlain answered some remarks made by Lord Hditinaten at <v meeting at Whitcfoor a week before, as follows : — "The nio<krat« Liberals are now very much tiouliled by certain very moderate piopositions which have been made by the Radical puity for the settlement of the land question. I \ future to predict if they arc i ejected that at no distant date these men will find themaelres confronted by piopositiona much more extensive, more dangerous, more questionable, and they will find themselves outbitten upon the land as they hare been upon the Irish question by the Tory party, u hoso iudiffeience to all political principles keeps equal space with its greed mess for power and for office. There is not one single Libeial candidate who has not accepted some one or more points of the Radical programme, and it is peifectly futile and ridiculous for any political Rip Van Winkle to come down fiom the mountain on which he has been slumbciing and to tell us that these things are to bo excluded from the Libeial piogiamme. The woild has moved on while these dreamers hare been slit ping, and it would be absurd to icnoie the change in the situation which the Reform Acts have produced. Ido not wish yon to think that I desire to rest my ca^e upon political necessity alone. If we c.mnot convince our allies of the justice and reasonableness of our views, then, with whatever reluctance, w e must part company. We will fight alone ;we will appeal unto Caesar ; we will go to the people from whom we came, and \\ hose cause we plead.

Thf number of paper mills in the world J \% 3i)S.~), and their annual production is j 1,904,000,0001b, of which 000, 000, 0001b is i used by newspaper. I Wlh.iit in Milk.— A gallon of disI tilled water weighs lOlbs, and milk is I heavier than water, therefore a quart weighs nioie than 2Ubs. The specific gravity of milk is entered in the tables as 1,032, water being 1,000; therefore that milk would have weighed lOlbs and 32-hniulredths of a lb, or a little over 10 lbh soz, and the quart would weigh 21bs 9{oz, but, of course, varies a little in its weight. For all practicable purposes it is sufficient to say that a gallon of milk j weighs lOlbs. Fakm Rents in Kfat.— The lowering of farm rents continues in East Kent. I A change of tenancy has just taken place j in one of the largest and best farms in j Shcppv, and the rent has been reduced by £.">OO. The extent of the holding is 1080 acres, of which SOO acres are pasture. The previous tenant paid £1,"H)O | a year, but his successor is to pay only . £1000. It is stated that reductions on a ! similar snle will have to be made at Michaelmas in respect of several farms i w liich v> ill then become vacent. Thk Yalhk ok Land in Lincolnshire. , At a sale of land at Spalding at the end ! of last week, a good farm of 110 acres I were offered for sale, and withdrawn at ' £2370, or about £'21 10s an acre. In 1871 the same farm was put up for sale ; by auction, when the highest bid was I £02.10, or nearly £,57 per acre. That | was not consideicd a sufficient price, and | the vendor lefused to sell. Since then i £2000 has been spent in protecting the i fa? m fiom an adjoining river. I A (ovri-ui'ORAKY gi\CBthc following ! advice to Preachers : — Make no apologies. If you have the Lord's message, declare it : if not, hold your peace. Have short i piefaccs and introductions. Say your best things at ouce, and stop before you get prosy. Do not spoil the appetite by too much thin soup. Defend the Gospel, | md let the Lord defend you and your character. Tf you are lied about, thank the devil for putting you on your guard, and take care that the story shall never become true. Do not get excited too soon. Do not run away from your hearers. Engine driving-wheels Hy fast with no load, but when they draw anything they go slower. It takes a cold hammer to bend a hot iron. Heat up the people, but keep the hammer cool. Do not howl and scream. Too much water stops millu heels, and too much noise drowns sense. Empty vessels ring'the loudest. Powder is not shot. Thunder is rot lightning. Lightning kills. If you have lightning, you (an afford to thunder, but do not thunder out of any empty cloud. Do not scold the people. Do not scold the faithful souls who come to the meeting on rainy days, because of the others who do not come. Preach the best to smallest assemblies. Jesus preached to one woman at the well, and she got all Samaria out to hear him next time. Ventilate your meeting room. Sleeping is due to bad air oftcnor than to bad manners. Leave out words you cannot define. Stop e'edamnations, and talk to folks. Yes !It is certainly true. Ask any of Tour friends who ha\e purchased there.
