" An incident like this, trifling as it may be, is evidence that
women can be mean upon provocation that would not stir a

influence in journalism, in politics, or in anything else. If the
individual be noble, the influence will be good; if the individual
be otherwise, the influence will be ordinary."

O NE of the founders of the Canadian Press Association has
passed away. Dougall MacDougall was one of the as-
sistants of Wm, Gillespie, editor of the Hamilton Spectator, in
his siiccessful efforts, in I859, to found an association which
would be representative of the newspaper fraternity of the Pro-
vince of Ontario. In i862 he was president
of the association, and filled the office with
such satisfaction that it grew remarkably dur-
ing that year.
Mr. MacDougall died in Berlin, Ont.,
on August 28th, in the seventieth year of his
age. t'or over two years he had been in
declining health, and during the past month
it could be readily seen that the candle had
burned down nearly to the socket. But his
life was a light which brighitened the 'rovince
in which he lived, the profession of which
he was a leading member, and the hearts of
the many friends that his kindly disposition,
his broad charity and his excellent parts
had won him.
Mi. Macl)ougall, though born in Scot-
land, was educated in Toronto, and afterwards
was with tle publishing house of Rowsell &
I'`onmpson. Soon he embarked in journal- ovte;v . s

T HE month under review has not furnished anything of
very special interest in the printi?ng or paper business. It
is worthy of note, however, that all the paper mills are full of
orders, in several instances running overtime. The goods
they are engaged in are news print, book paper, colored covers
and writing papers, but largely the three former descriptions.
The inference from this is that the printinlg offices are begin-
niing to experience more active trade, and investigation shows
that they are, though the improvement is not very appreciable
as yet. A change for the better is certainly wanted, for they
have had a very dull time of it. Now, however, many of the
leading establishments are commencing to be busy on some of
their regular fall contract work, such as patent medicine alman-
acs, etc.
