I hope you will join in striving te correct, understand that I am in my right, and only speak as à Canadian burly way who de- aires to see his countrymen fron \\L from errors which gravely prejadice their future prospects as a nation, and who speaks with that object in view, and not in ay paltry or Pharisaioal spirit of fault finding.Now, one of these faults is that Canadians as a rule are state of cultivation, with bnildings in good repair, far TOO TOLERANT OF FRAUD AND FALSEHOOD, both in public life and in private life.Understand well.I have nothing{but praise for the true, genial catholic tolerance which respects all honest differences of opinion, which refases to make a fuss abont trifles, which ises that these is no accounting for tastes and that, as the old English saw bas it, \u2018what is one man\u2019s meat may be another man\u2019s poison, and that ou not quarrel about it, either.But as uman affairs go, you need more than this, you need beside to have deep down, well under control, but ready in case of emergency, an honest wholesome capacity for a stern and righteous indignation with evil doers, and I tell you it is not only your right but your duty to despise, and if you can to punish all cheats, thieves, and liars wheresoever you may find them, but tre- bly so if they have crept into high places.Sir, it seems to me that we are apt to guilty of two very mean things.No doubt the same thing occurs more or less everywhere, but it does appear to me that there has very rarely been any country in which so much honor has been paid to successful scoundrelism in high position as there is in Canada today.No doubt there are exceptional causes, but the fact remains.The standard of political morality and the character of public men in Canada is infinitely below what prevails in England, or in the United States, or any English-speaking community I know of.Reformers are in part themselves to blame for this, and it is very much to their discredit that many of them, after denouncing certain leading opponents as grossly and personally corrupt, and as guilty of infamous falsehood, have afterwards dealt with these men as if they stood on the same level as themselves, Such is not my creed or my practice either.I say, if you must sympathise with scoundrels, mpathise with those who are placed where they can do the least rather than with those whocan do the most harm to society.(Ap- a|Plause.) Of the two I would much rather see u \u201chail fellow, well met,\u2019 with men whom you now to have lied and robbed their way into the Dominion Penitentiary, than with men who have lied and robbed their way into the Dominion Privy Council ;\u2014though I don't recommend the association in either case.I(Applaase and lsughter.) This is one of our \u2018faults, and the other is of kin to it, thoughjit}is\u2019one in regard to which we are no worse, perhaps not quite so bad, as our neighbors, and one which is common, I know, to allÿ English{nations, This is the time honored WORSHIP OF THE GOLDEN CALF.There is a great disposition among us to envy, and almost to worship, any} man who has got together a big pile of money, no matter how, and to think in our secret hearts that the great- eat man after all is the man who has the most dollars.Well, money is & very potent thing, and I don't deny that you will find among the ranks of the millionaires, both in Canada and elsewhere, many very able and fine fellows, men of very great ability, who owe their wealth to their energy aud enterprise, and in fair degree do deserve respect and admiration, But you will find also many who are not ond whit better than successful robbers, and I have known many of both and found society, outwardly at least, make very little difference in the reception it accorded to either.OF all idolatries the worship of mere wealth is the most debasing and emervating.(Applause.It is worse than the worship of rank or of power, and it seems to be on increase.You can bardiy take up a newspaper, in the United 8 particularly, without noticing that an evêr increasing space is devoted to details of the costly follies and extravagancies or lavish outlay of rich men, or computations of the amounts they are severally su to be worth.All this involves a most debasing vul- @arism of speech and thought which finds an spt expression in the now very common statement that, on such and such an occasion, \u201cso many million of dollars sat dowa to dinner.\u201d Why, sir, but the other day I saw it stated that 500 million dollars (each ane, I suppose, revolving on its own separate axis) were present at à certain wedding breakfast in the city of New York.- Seb your faces, \u2018my young friends, against this\u2019 baseness.Honor & man for what is, and nok for.what he hes, or never dare to call yourselves true Liberals again, (Cheers.) Don't let your wells or springs be infected by yw drainage, or from other eauses.Pore drinking woke s indinpetestle tou-Mentitstut Dome, ; Of an moighty queer, An\u2019 Ted Alb own cousins and neighbors for oly year.\u2018Twas often he'd walk the disthance, an\u2019 walkin\u2019 be was that day, When Riley whips roun\u2019 the corser, a'droivia\u2019 the mottled-gray.\u201cBad wedder,\u201d says Ted, \u201cinteirely ; \u2018tis murther an\u2019 all oa the o ; Whin ts time or digala\u2019 the peatiss they're divie \u201cakira pn says Riley ; \u201c \u2018tis boun\u2019 for e fair yo are,\u2014 Thin wby would ye splash your tails, ou'y meself nthe gyar I\u201d \u2018 oem, ao So Teddy gets up forenenati him, an\" lavin' the ei ans pond botyrizt th men an\u2019 \u2019 thera\u2019 flligan talk, r (him, mar An this \u2018n Rilo ah but shure s nothin! t \u2014_\u2014 a Ye've been bo butthér \u2018Rane niver EL He mh, \u201cWhy wouldn't I thin\u201d Teddy; * tinknown % market an\u2019 fair re yi \u201cdink That awather butther an\u2019 firmer ién\u2019t churned in A ep cour pra 1 that iver 1 couple of firkins was all that iver ; Tits dey if ve brings a score, sorr, bedad, bat take tho lot.\u201d \u201cWhist! shure 'tis trason ye're talkin\u2019.'Tis shame on ye, Teddy O & Would ye middle wid boycotted butther, an\u2019 fly in the face av the League?Shure, l'm your friend as spakes them, 60 \u2018tint to tbe words I se: If yo look at that batther av Ryan's \u2018tis mischief there'll be this day.\" «'Tis Jong that we're friends,\u201d says Teddy; \u201cdid iver give yoa lie?.It Ryan br ngs twinty firkins, each wan ay the score I'll boy; If iver a hand is lifted, if Iver a word is said,* 1 swear by the blessed Mother I'll shtrike the spalpeen dead.\u201cTake a feel av the stick, Miok Riley; \u2018tie blackthorn seasoned an\u2019 three; There's sorra a skull in nathor bat that'll walk shmiliog t'rough.If soy one manes to thry it, bedad, \u2018tis rason an\u2019 sinse He'll dhrive to the spot in bis collin, an\u2019 save tho double expinse.\u201cNo barm to expriss it pleasant, though sorra a joke 1 mano; Will ye mintion to thim as sint ye the views that Tentertain ?\"\u201d They spake the word and they parted ; an\u2019 there on the market ground 7 There was farmers gathered by fun'rals from twinty par'shes round.There was tastin\u2019 an\u2019 chaff an\u2019 dhrinkio\u2019, an\u2019 hapes av batiher was sold ; An' Pather Ryan, poor divle, stood lost and out in tho cold.Thin on by the line av car\u2019ages, linin' the market square, O'Teague wint sniflin\u2019 an\u2019 gaugin', an\u2019 purchasin\u2019 hore an there ; Till he came to the spot where Ryan, wid the heart av him broken, stood, \u2014 \u201cNow, Pather,\u201d says he, \u201cwe'll thry it, an\u2019 see if the batther's good.\u201d He laid the stick on the cart tbin\u2019 convanient to his hand, , Wid a turn of his eye aroun\u2019 him the neighbors could understand ; There was fidgetiin\u2019 sticks amongst thim, and, shufllin\u2019 av scores av fate.An\u2019 looks as it bothered the betthor to keep iteelf cool and swate, Then Teddy be pulls his guage out, an\u2019 into the it goos, An\u2019 be snifts as aisy and shmi in\u2019 as Biddy shm | lin\u2019 à rose.He gives it a lick wid his tongue thin, an squirts the juice on the _ \u201cFive firkins ?\u201d says ho; \u201cI'll tako thim\u2014I wish they was twinty more.\u201d Begorra, ye heard the curses a-rowling inside thim there ; Ye persaved tbim chlosin\u2019 aroun\u2019 bim\u2014the stioks was op in the air: Then Teddy, he takes the black{born, an\u2019 shwings it up for tho sbtrike\u2014 Mo sowl! if 1 live till I'm buried, I never shall see the like!

HUNTINGDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1886 THERE is not a word in confirmation of the rumor about the Dominion elections being brought on at once, but all the same, the Liberals of Ontario are working as if they were certain to be held within a month, Conventions to nominate candidates are the order of the day and Mr Blake is travelling from one constituency to another to hasten organization.In his many speeches he scrupulously avoids all reference to Riel and the posture of affairs in Quebec.Withoutendorsing the Nationalists, heis willing to take advantage of their movement to defeat Sir John.THE situation in\u2019 Bulgaria grows more critical daily.The Russian agents have thrown away all pretension of disguise, and work openly with the avowed object of inducing, or rather coercing, the people into annexation with Rus- sin.In one town they incited an insurrection with that object, which was nipped in the bud.The Bulgarians are split into parties and many are gmenable to bribes, so that the agents of the Czar have material to work upon, yet, despite all this, it is apparent that the desire of the Bulgarians in general is to remain independent.Austria, while sympathizing with them in their objection to being swallowed by the colossus of the north, is most reluctant to draw the sword, and is exhausting every resource of diplomacy.Hungary, which, of course, from being of like Slavonic origin looks upon the cause of Bulgaria as its own, threatens secession should the Emperor of Austria not take a more decided stand.From the statement made by the British premier, Lord Salisbury, it is apparent that England will only interfere on condition that the other parties to the Constantinople treaty consent to take the field.By receding from the position he has taken, the Czar would instantly restore confidence in Europe, but that is not expected.YESTERDAY the last of the writs were returnable, so that we may expect the summons for the meeting of the Local House to be issued at once.It will, likely, take place before Christmas, so that the suspense as to which party is to bold the reins of power will be speedily relieved.Much apprehension was entertained of à socialistic outbreak in Loudon on Tuesday, the day of the Lord Mayor's procession.Great precautions were taken, 8000 police lining the streets with a large body of troops held in readiness in their barracks, but there was no need for their services.The mob assembled in dense multitudes but showed no disposition to break the peace.The poverty of the lower- classes in London at present is beyond belief.\u2014 THANKSGIVING is appointed for Thursday and on that day there will be many references to the material condition of Canada.Speaking of this district, it may be truthfully said that the earth never gave a more bounteous increase.In some particular crops there was a deficiency, but, taken as a whole, the yield was over the average.The season opened early, was cool and moist doring summer, and frost kept off long in the fall, so that grass, the main dependence of our farmers, was excellent.That the yield of cheese fell below the average was due to the reducing of the herds, owing to the low prices of the preceding season, and the withholding of extra feed, and not to any falling-off in the natural flow.So soon as the price of cheese rose, and milk began to pay, the supply increased, and, for the first time in this section, as many cheese were made in October as August.Hay, though not abundant, was a fair yield, and unless the winter is a very long one, there is no prospect of scarcity.With the exception of peas, which yielded poorly on heavy soil, all grain gave a large yield, and of oats in particular it may be said there were never more or of better quality in the country.The same is true of wheat.On the other hand, potatoes oa clayey oils were a failure and orehards have not yielded a tithe of their customary revenue, owing to rot in the one case and fungus- specks in the other.\u2019 While there is no disputing thes barns and granaries are full, it is striking that there should be à dendeess in business.This is owing to the low prices causing farmers to hold their produce.Peas bave not been as low for twenty years and more, and barley is practically unsaleable.Thess are the two kinds of grain marketed in the fall, and the money for which is put into cironlation at this time.- Its absone conses the deadness in trade we have noted, for farmers are not only not buying the wsmwal quantity of goods but, what is much wees, ere not paying what they are dwe, and tradesmen aad are carrying accounts which, a4 this time of the year, have been sus- Gnarly paid.The stringency will be re- Boved, to sume exiont, when the money for the fall choose comes in, which will be & mech ab this period in 1885 was bringing 9 to 940 it is worth to-day 112 toifc For the last three months of the season, checse will bring in one- fourth more money than it did last year, and, to Huntingdon, that means à good deal.is no prospect of grain rising, provided war does mot break out is Esrops.Wheat rules the quotations of all other graine, and while it sells at 75 to 80 cents, pess snd barley must rule low; indeed, proportionally, there is more money in them even at present prices, than in wheat.Batter is a shade better than last year, with a prospect of rising higher for creamery, Beef and pork are very low and likely to remain so.Within 6 weeks lambs and sheep have taken a sharp turn upward in the American market, and heavy-draft horses keep exceptionally high.There are two causes of the low prices that prevail, The first is apparent.Abundance means cheapness.When a farmer has a crop over the average he knows prices will be under the average, There have been exceptions, when there was abundance here and, a short crop in Europe, but there is no such combination at present, for the erops across the Atlantic were fair.The 2nd cause is the rapid development of the Northwest.Five years ago Manitobs flour was unknown in Montreal and ten years ago so was Dakota wheat.To-day they are in large supply, and keep down the prices.In the same way, western cattle and hogs compete with what our farmers have to sell, and it is only a question of time when they will have to face Northwestsrn coarse grains and butter and cheese.When that comes about, there will be the same crisis in farming here as bas been experienced for some years back in Great Britain and Ireland.There the competition with Am erican produce is adjusting itself by a reduction in rents; here, where we have no landlord class, that is not possible, and we are inclined to think relief will have to be awaited in the lowering of wages and consequent reduction in price of whatever the farmer has to buy.THERE is a renewal of the eight hours a day struggle in Chicago.When the employees in the great stockyards of that city gave in the other day, and resumed work, it was supposed all trouble was over, but on Saturday the men again struck, demanding that 8 hours be counted a day's work and offering to submit to à slight reduction in wages.The packers are so disgusted with the conduct of the men, that they have resolved to fight them and have member of & labor organization.Trouble is anticipated, and with eause, for the strikers surround the yards and assault every man ho dares to take their place, THE circumstance of the Victoria bridge having taking 5 years to build at & reported cost of 5 million dollars has had a deterrent effect in attempting to span the St Lawrence at other points, Up to lately, the impression was that no other bridge would ever be built.The spell has been broken by the Canadian Pacific, which has spanned the St Lawrence where it rans swifter and deeper than at Point St Charles in less than 7 months at a comparatively small cost.That bridges will now be erected at Coteau, at Morrisburgh, and, poseibly, at Quebec is certain, for capitalists have proof that bridging our great river is not the serious undertaking they supposed.From the interview with Mr Van Horne, published in this issue, it is plain that his company contemplates the crushing of the Grand Trunk, for the building of the extensions westward and eastward have the sole object of tapping its sources of trafic, while the Pacific's routes will be a great deal shorter.All their new lines are being built with a view to through trafic.Of this interesting proof was given thé other day.A deputation from the town of Strathroy waited on Mr Van Horne and asked that the line be deflected 2} miles to touch their place, on they paying the extra cost.They were told the company would, on no consideration, lengthen their line one rod.Ir is asserted that a cheap and certain menos of ascertaining the quantity of butter in milk has been discovered, and that it is now in the power of creamery proprietors to grade the milk they receive and pay for it according to its richness.The iustrument used is the invention of DeLaval, of the centrifugal machine, and its prineiple is stated to be\u2014 The milk is mixed with an equal portion of acetic acid, which dissolves the caseine and other ingredients of milk, leaving the batter fat alone undissolved ; the latter is placed in a small graduated glass tube, and by centrifugal force separated from the rest of the mixture and its volume is easily ascertained on the said glass tube, which is accurately uated, A means of quicksilver measures, With a lit- practice anybody, even to a small boy, can © as many as 60 tests an hour, and the cost of each test is not more than one cent.Supposing the contrivance tobe all that is represented, it would only partially meet the needs of checse-makers, who require to know how much caseine there is in milk ss well as fia.Thats cheap and ready means will yet be discovered of ascertaining the actual money- value of every ean of milk delivered at the fastories, there is no doubt.meer Tas election last week resulted slightly ia they favor of the Republicans, whose strength they 80 inerensed ia Congress

opened at Beauharnois on the 2nd.In the absence of Judge Belanger at St Scholastique, Judge Johnson presided.The grand jury brought in true bills against Calix Cardinal of St Stanislas, for placing an obstruction on the railway-track near Brysons and against several others for minor offences.On Wednesday the court did not sit, owing to the funeral of the late father Jasmin taking place on that day, and on reassembling on Thursday, Mr Seers, who appeared for Cardinal, said he was not ready to go on.The Judge freely expressed his opinion of the manner in which the court is conducted, and, accepting recognizances for the appearance of the accused at the March term, returned to the city.; @/ On Monday afternoon three men called at Thomas Smyth's, Cooper\u2019s corners, and asked for supper.They said they had no money and offered à sheath-knife in payment.After getting something to eat, they asked the way to the nearest village, and the direction of St Lai.cet being pointed out, they started for it across the fields.That night there is every reason to believe these three men broke into Mr Masson's store and blew open his safe.No one sleeps in the store and they gained access by climbing up a telegraph pole and entering by a gable window.Taking rolls of cloth from the shelves they wound them round and piled them in front of the safe, and blew open the door of it with dynamite.Although the cloth deadened the sound both of the explosion and of the falli door, several were awakened by it (at about o'clock in the morning) but went to sleep again, it was thunder.On ransacking the ellows found almost nothing to reward them.Mr Masson had sent a remittance to Montreal by the mail of that evening, so that there was no money in the safe.From the counter-drawer they took a few silver bits and some coppers.Two silver watches of no great value and a few gold-plated chains were taken, The papers and books were tossed about and loft in confusion.So far as can be discovered, the goods on the shelves were loft untouched.Leaving a light burning, the burglars left and p ed to the boat-house and either went away in a fine boat it contained or set it adrift to divert suspicion.The belief is, that they crossed the lake in it, although thers was a report that they were seen near Dupuis\u2019 Corners on Tuesday, going towards the States.The safe-door in falling, smashed the battery, so that, when the burglary was discovered on the store being opened on Tuesday morning, Mr Masson was unable to telegraph, He escaped marvellously well from the hands of professional burg ara.The men are supposed to have slept in the Cazaville achool-house on Sunday night, CF The snowstorm that set in on Saturday morning was of phenomenal violence for November.Had the

banished by the Russian government for being Nibilists.One of them gave the following account of his terrible experience : In 1883, after the Russian government bad paused in their bitter persecutions against various Nibilistic societies, the members of the League of Deliverance began once more to disseminate printed matter among the students of the various universities in Rusia.For a while enthusiastic meetings were held, One night at a meetiog of the students held in a street adjoining the great university of Kief, we were surrounded by a body of troops aod police.Thirty-four of us were arrested, but some twenty escaped, while a portion of the police were engaged searching the premises.e were conveyed to the police prison and thrown into the cells in company with common malefactors.We dated not s to one another except upon the most common topics, owing to the fear that the prisoners in the cells were spies of the police.After a detention of six days we were granted a preliminary examination, and making no defence, for we really had none, the police judge ordered us to be sent for sentence to the higher tribunal, which found that we were guilty of conspiracy against the Crown.I, who was engaged in a speech upon the entrance of the police at the time of our arrest, was senten to twenty years\u2019 deportation to Siberia, while Vassili and Ivan, received the sentence of ten years\u2019 servitude, with hard labor, all of us being prohibited from ever returning to Russia.By means of bribing the 1 officials our friends contrived to aid us with a few extra provisions, as prison fare in Russia is of the worst kind, consisting of nothing but hard black bread and water, varied by a single dried flish and sour cabbage once a week.We remained in the great prison of Kief for nearly two months, in constant dread that we should receive orders to begin the terrible overland journey to Siberia, but we were agreeably disappointed, The 14th of April found us upon the railroad cooped up like wild beasts in open waggons, exposed to the sun and rain.So close were we confined that sleeping was impossible, There were separate waggons for the women, the majority of whom were being sent to Siberia for the most trivial offences, the object of the government being to apportion these females upon arrival as wives to their expatriated countrymen.After a fow days\u2019 journey we arrived at Odessa, and were immediately marched to the wharf, where the steamer Nijni Novgorod was awaiting us.We found our quarters palatial compared with the prison cells and railroad waggons, although somewhat crowded.The between decks were partitioned by wooden gratings, leaving space between for a sentry to march up aod down.Women found accommodation in the fore part of the vessel, they being screened from view by means of cloth nailed to the gratings.Some few of us had, by dint of bribes furnished by our friends, procured tobacco while others had concealed writing material to communicate with our friends from the various porte we stopped at.We had also received in- ormation thôt certain officers on board the steamer would help us, and we also knew b What signals to communicate with them.It may seem strange but true that there is on board of nearly all of the government ships officers who are in sympathy with the cause, and who dare not refuse to aid members of the revolutionary clubs whenever certain sigus are made to them.So, too, throughout our subsequent wanderings we were aided and assisted by the officials in various employments of the vernment.To them and to the active mem- rs it is well known that the time is fast coming when the present corrupt, tyrannical and autoeratic government now prevailing in Russia will give place to free and liberal rule\u2014the people represented by their chosen ones, who will be granted the liberty of free speech and thought without fear of persecution\u2014and upon the attainment of these objects Nihilism and its companion societies will cease to exist, their labors being accomplished.But until then we shall continue defying the government and do- ingall in our power to achieve our purpose,

in the morning, the remainder exercising in the afternoon.We heard that the women were allowed extra privileges, as they were itted to sew and wash for the sailors, who, in their turn, managed to ve

jumping from the new suspension bridge into the swift current of the Niagara river, 8 distance of 195 fest.Donavan a short time 8 was presented by Richard K Fox, of New York, with a gold champion jamping badge for jumping off the Brooklyn bridge, which jump was not by 40 feet as high as the one accomplished today.At T o'clock this morning Donavan, accompanied by a Buffalo newspaper reporter,

exasperation of the mob against the police would bave found vent in a riot if the usual meeting of the Salvation Army bad taken place to furnish the oocasion for a gathering.In the expectation that it would be furnished an unusaal number of excited young men could be seen collected in knots at various pointsin the neighborhood of the Salvationists\u2019 hall, and it was easy to note by their gestures and talk that they were bent on mischief.It is said also that more revolvers were sold here by dealers yesterday than bad been disposed of for months previously.No op portanity, however, was supplied for their use, or as rapidly as the groups began to form were notified by the police that no meeting of tho Salvation Army was to be held and ordered to dispose.In this way the formation of anything ike a dangerous crowd was prevented, but the rowdies continued to linger on the streets in the noigbborbood until a late hour under the impression evidently that a chance would occur for putting in their work.The decision to hold no meeting of the Salvationists last evening was come to by the Police Board yesterday afternoon after an interview with the female leader of the Army and a deputation from the Evangelical Al liance, com of the Rev Messrs Matthews and Stobo, and Mr W.C.Young.The Rev Mr Stobo and the Protestant clergy of the city had no connection with the Salvationists, but inasmach as it was in question to prevent the female soldiers at present in Quebec from holding any more meetings at night, he wisbed to im on the Board that it was impossible for them to do so as they were acting under orders from their superiors and like the disciples of Luyols they were bound to obey.Moreover he argued that it was easy to defino the position of the Protestant minority in the city.If freedom of worship was admitted, it must be conceded that the Salvation- ists were perfectly within their right in leasing a ball and carrying on their missionary work in their own way, while if they consented to abandon their meetings at night they would bo acknowledging that freedom of worship did not exist as a principle in this community.As for the Evangelical Alliance's intervention in the matter, he said it was simply inspired by the desire to maintain that important principle and to protect à few poor women from oppression and from being made targets for the missiles of a crowd whose ocmposition was not so easily defined under the circomstances.Finally consulting with the leader of the Salvation detachment the Board resolved that no meeting should be held last night, but that tonight the services might continue after the electric lights bad been placed in the summit of the ball to properly light the street in front when the fullest police protection possible would be given.The Board then adjourned to meet again this afternoon.\u2014Witness Cor.No further molestation has been offered to the Salvation Army, who who are holding meetings nightly in Quebeo, Southampton, Ont., Nov.4.\u2014This morning, about 3.45, it was discovered that the row of buildings known as the Rossin block was on fire.A gale was blowing from the south-west at the time, and in a few minutes the whole block was a mass of flames.Owing to the town possessing no fire apparatus, the flames continued to spread rapidly, aod in less than 4 hours the whole street was swept for two and one-balf blocks.The scene, as the flames wero raging and the People were getting out goods and furnitare, beggars description.There wore over 50 buildings burnt.Thirty families are rondered homeless and some entirely destitute.Dalhousie, N.B., Nov.4.\u2014Abont 10.30 last night a destructive fire occurred here, by which 22 buildings on Maio street, in the business part of the town, were totally destroyed.The fire originated in the attic of the post office building, caused by a defective stovepipe.There being no engine to extinguish the fire the flames spread rapidly, and in a short time tbe buildings, which were entirely of wood, were reduced to ashes.Victor Turgeon, mechanic, of Cornwall, sued the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Company a few days ago and the case ocoupied the High Court of Chancery considerable time.Targeon claimed that he bad been damaged because he bad shipped household goods from Montreal to Cornwall in the steamer Passport of the Company's line, on July 3lst, and the vessel bad been wrecked on account of negligence, unskilifalness and improper conduct of the master and other officers and servants of the Company, by which the vessel was run upon the pier at the entrance of the Cornwall Canal, and the goods were not delivered to him.In consequonce of the wreck he had lost everything and the Company had not carried him, bis wife and children as agreed.He asked for $400 damages.A very large number of witnesses were examined in the case, and tbe Court took the ground that the accident bad ba pened, as the plaintiff declared, owing to negli gence.It was contended by witnesses for the de fence that the entrance was dangerous, but it was not shown tbat special precautions had been bolas at ¥iadivostock.the place of our exile.landing of the convicts was

somewhat relaxed their vigilance, and we were permitted to converse in groups while working around the prison inclosare.Shortly before the middle meal an officer of gondarmes entered the.yard, walking from one group to another, and finally haltio before Ivan, Vassili and myseif, glanced aroun to watch if be was unobserved, and, being satis- Bed, gave us the aign.\u2019 Judge of our surprise when we ized a former co-worker from the cit of Odessa whom we had all thought of as dead.He told us that after a long and weary, covered with vermin and clothed in , bis party bas arrivedat the Alexanderoffsky Central prison at Irkutsk.The majority bad broken down on the journey, many left to die on the road, their bodies abandoned as food for wolves.How had he managed to be in office ?we asked.\u2018Oh, that was easy, he replied.\u2018You know my position in the society was corresponding secretary.Well, after consultation with our friends, I ingratiated myself into favor by writing the reports of the commander of the prison, and he, upon being promoted to be Inspector of Cohvicts at YVlandivostock, brought me with him, and thus you see I can be of benefit to the \u2018cause.\u2019 Our friend gave us fifty paper roubles, which we concealed on our persons in shares.A small sum was expended in purchase of tobacco.I must tell you that our bodies were covered with vermin and our clothes were in rags, and it was through the representations of our friend that the doctor of the prison ordered that we should bathe and have new clothing issued.Our new garments consisted of rough wool drawers and shirts, heavy cotton pants and overshirt, with untanned leather boots, Five days after our arrival at Viadivostock the drafts were made.One hundred men were sent to the Saghalien Island to the coal mines of Dui, while 400 were distributed to the silver mines at Nertchinsk, and to the towns of Sagalien, Oula and other ts upon the Amoor river, in order to assist in the navigation of the boats.We three were sent to Oula, where, after a residence of two years, during which time we were in constant communication with friends all over the country, their messages being conveyed by gendarmes, a transfer was made through the influence of our Odessa brother, and we came to Vladivo- stock.At that point Ivan and I were employed in the navy storehouses, while Vassili became messenger to the prison office.Little by little we gathered money contributions from our friends and by doing various work for the ship people ; so our lot was easy compared with the unfortunate beings condemned to work in the silver mines, who never see ydaylight, but sleep in underground cells upon beds of straw, in compan with the mules that haul the ore cars.Their lot is truly terrible\u2014a living death.When in June the steamer Moskva came to Viadivostock we heard she was to go home by way of America, and we resolved to escape.Our few roubles we bought clothing and tobacco with, and upon the night previous to her departure we shaved our beards off and changed our hats, disguised ourselves and came on board the ship in the darkness.Most of the crew were drank, but many of them were good friends to us and never betrayed us.Indeed it was through the help of one of the Moskva's officers that we came all safe.Our work was in the boiler room, and we kept oat of sight as much as possible, When we arrived in San Francisco, Ivan, who speaks French, was our guide, and we now intend to work our way toward the Mennonite colony in Nebraska, where we shall meet our countrymen and sympathisers.CANADA, Ottawa, November 9.\u2014Some little time since the residents in and around Temiscamingue settlement wore startled over the announcement that s pretty young nun, known as Sister Colombe, who with four other sisters had been eutrusted with the work of the church, presided over by priests at that station, had left the Catbolic institution and started for Ottawa.The facts of the case subsequent to ber departure, which by the way bave been kept remarkably quiet until now, were substantially as follows :\u2014For some months past a young man named La Ferrier, who resided with bis father at Temiscamingue, bad been a frequont visitor at the institution where Sister Colombe lived.The folks residing about the settlement all thought that his attentions were directed towards a young woman who filled some position in the establishment.This party, as subseqaent events have proved, was not the one upon wbom the affections of young La Ferrier bad rested.Matters for a time went on as usual, the unsuspecting riest having little idea of what the events of a ew days would develop, as he himself bad no other idea than that he would shortly have the leasant duty of tying tbe nuptial knot between kr La Forrier and the young woman before referred to.It was not until the announcement that Sister Colombe had hurriedly left the institution for Ottawa, where ber parents reside, that the truth dawned upon him.Young Le Ferrier, who is very highly spoken of, and who also was at one time a resident of Ottawa when his father once held a position under the government, was not long in following on the tracks of the escaping nun and arriving at Ottawa, they were soon made man and wife, Hearing of her arrival here, and of her leaving the institution at Temiscamin- gue, Archbishop Dubamel wrote ber a letter to oall and see him, which, however, she declined to do, writing in reply that if His Grace wished to soe her he would find ber with her friends, It is understood that after the marriage of Sister Colombe two or three of ber sisters, who had also taken the veil, left the convent.La Ferrier and his bride bave returned to the scene of their paie, ohf courtship and settled down on à fine farm be recently purchased in the vicinity of the settiement.The facta of this little episode, as substantially given above, and which are now for the first

lntercoloviul Huilway.Every effort ie 10 bo made to baild a railway equal to any in America, and heavy grades and sharp curves wiil be avoided eo that great speed can made.The work on the extension of the Ootario & Quebec Ruilway bas progressed to such a point that all the grading bas been completed and the track has beon lnid for about halt the whole distance.Uangs of men are now at work laying track at six different points; one laying esst from the crossing ot the Canada Atlantic railway, one west and one east of the St Lawrence & Ot tawa Railway, and one west from Montreal.The whole track will abe laid by the end of the present month, or tbe early part of next month.The rails used weigh 72 pounds, the heuvieat steel rails on any American line, and the ties are nine feet long insteaa of eight foot as commonly used.All cottings are 42 feet wide.The greater part of the line is a perfect tangent, without a curve, and almost without a grade.St Aon\u2019s and Vandreuil bridge will be completed in about 4 weeks from the present time.Tbe bridge St Ann's will have 11 spans, and that at Vandrenil will consist of 13 spans.Both of them ure steel truss bridges of the most improved kind.The masonry of the piers and abutments is as solid and substantial as could be made, and the greatest attention has been paid to appearance, so that these structures will bo among the most handsome bridges on the contineat.The line will de ready for train service some time next month, but will not be open for fast passenger service till some time in January, or the inning of February.The masonry on the Lachine bridge over the St Lawrence will all be completed in the courso of the present week, and the super.strucure will be placed in position very soon after.It is expected that the bridge will be completed by the 9tb or 10th of Deceraber next, and it is understood that Mr Van Horne has atat- ed that bo will go over the bridge in his private car\u2014the Saskaichewan\u2014on the latter date.A number of engineers are now eng:ged in surveying nnd laying out the extension of the Credit Valley section of the Canadian Pucific to the Detroit River.It has not yet been determined at what point the river will be crossed, it being the intention of the company to chooso the point where the best crossing can be made in all weathers regardless of the location of the towns completed very shortly and work will be commenced very soon after no that the line may be built next summer.When Bnished connection will bo made, it is understood, with the Wabash system, and the company will have a line from Halifax and St John and from Boston to the De- troitriver and short line connections from there to Chicago and St Louis and tho extreme West.orn

French.Canadian gentleman from this city have just returned from a trip to New York where they met Gabriel Dumont, of Northwest rebellion fame.It was coming out of Abbé Tetreault's little French church on 77th street, that they first caught sight of the celebrated half-breed.Assured that they were not mistaken in their man one of the party spproached him and in French introdaced bim- self and party as French Canadians who had juat arrived from Ottawa and wished to see him.Du- mount became excited and trembled like à leaf, believing that they were officers of the Canadian government and bad come to New York for the Purpose of capturing bim and taking bim back to nada to be punished.At this time he would give no satisfaction as to where he was residing, and cut the conversation short by a burried exit, It was atterwards arranged by Abbé Tetreault that the Ottawa visitors should meet Damont that evening at the residence of the Abbé.Darin the evening, after Dumont had become convin that be bad nothing to fear, the latter entered into a lengthy description of bis connection with the late rebellion and bis subsequent movements, Ho stated that be was very anzious to return to Canada, bat woaid never cross the boundary line until he bad papers in bis pocket from the Do- mioion government granting bim absolate pardon and immunity from any further tion for bis participation in the rebellion, He did not regard the or- General's proclamation of amnesty to those who had been connected with the ieit enough to warrant his testing ite application to bie case with the risk of being taken prisoner on putting bis foot on Canadian territory.He wants bis Canadian friends to intercede for bim and secure from the Dominion government sa indessnity from possible arrest.When be secures

almost within a stone's throw of Midd ton's troops whom bs, Damont, wanted Riel to ou and attack at once, but Riel ssid he wanted to fight fair.Dumont says that this wes their opportunity as they could have surprieed Middleton and killed large nambers of his men before they could recover themselves, bad Riel consented.He says be was much to blame for Riel's actions, as he had to spar bim on all the time.Riel, be says, was always endeavoring to prevent a conflict between the 1-70 forces, and any treachery he strongly denounosd, as he believed that after the government saw they were in earn- ost they would acoede to their demands without spilling blood.ITEMS FROM Lz PROGRES.The late Father Jasmin left $600 towards the college at Beaubarnois, The archbishop and 70 priests attended

She sat beside the good-natured pew-oponer as grave as a judge, standing or koeoling as she saw others do.Whether she had ever been inside of a church before, sho did not say, and nobody inquired.Bat she behaved perfectly well, and listened to the sermon as if she understood it all.Btill, eho was a very odd-looking, unchurch.like figure, and more than one member of the little congregation turned and stared at her in going out.\u201cIt will noverdo to have her in our Bible-class,\u2019 said Miss Macrae, when, church being over, the two friends were arranging their \u2018botween sermons\u2019 occupation.\u2018All the girls would begin to laugh.Suppose we send her home Lo get some dinner, with orders to come back here by-and-by, in an hour, say, when the class will be over, sod we can give her a little teaching all by her.soif.\u2019 Bat long before the hour was ended, a shaggy black head appeared [at the school-room door, munching alamp of bread.She had snatched u the portion given her, and run back to churc again as fast as she could.Her look was so eager, and at the same time so droll, that it was impossible to scold.\u2018Wo must abolish ber, if that be ible for half an hour, or we shall have our girls paying no attention to anything,\u2019 and the perplexed Miss Kirk, who hurriedly established the tinker lassie at the further end of the room, behind a safe barricade of forms, and in front of ons of the pictures that hung on the wall ; rough-colored prints, but still with meaning in them.The custom, too common in Sanday-schools, of sticking up isolated doctrinal texts, which no little child understands, the Iadies wisely avoided, and adorned their room chiefly with pretty pictures, comprehensible to the meanest capacity.This one, of the Good Shepherd, carrying a little wounded lamb in his arms, seemed to attract even the poor, ignorant tinker lsasie.When the Bible- class was dismissed, Miss Kirk found Jean standing gasing at it with the nearest approach to ro- verence, nay, awe, that she had yet seen on that wild little face.\u2018Who is that ?\u2019 asked the lady.\u2018I ken.It's the Saviour\u2014my Saviour.\u2019 Very much surprised, Miss Kirk asked her how she came to know, and found that a year or two bad told ber about Christ\u2014bow be ord\u2019 seeking and saving \u2018that which was lost.\u2019 Jean took in the story bet oly ; still it had touched her and fixed itself in ber mind, for she could understand about sheep being lost in the Highland mountains; and, alas! she was only too like a little lost sheep herself.Som Ît aconted to dawn upon ber, almost without explanation, that the Good Shepherd now and then sent like Miss Kirk and Mise Macsne after ris like her and Mary, to find them and them bome.And though in the brief lesson that followed Miss Kirk \u2018May you 1Jitinding purchasers will conealt their own i mn, Wiviag m0 a eal baiore purehasing 10s TLL hm eiocward where she saw thoy \"DS\" Rusarntee ationded to aad gatls.| Wore Dot understood, still Jean's attention was fwstien cangbt, and this, , the first Sanday in all * à.TRebert Maw, jer lile that been days pot Hovick, August so, 100, © 4 TW ooh solgoiton 17 bh ™.iss took her with thera to the - house, where they were in the habit of going every Bandsy to read the Bible io Gaslie to the old and sick.\u2018Eh | yon's a fine place,\u2019 commented Jean, evi dently struck by tbe torriblo neatnsss of the wards, and the awfal orderliness of everything; \u2018but I wadua like to be there.\u2019 \u20181 hope you will never go there, Jean.1t's for the old, the sick, and helpless, and you sre young and strong.You must work\u2014farm work\u2014the first thing on Monday morning.But this was easier said than done, Though Jean was willing, pathotioslly willing, no one would employ ber.It happened to a slack season, and the ordinary farm-laborers, women and men, could scarcely find work ; what cbance, then, had a poor little lassie, against whom there was Lhe strong prejadice that exists throughout the Highlands against tinkera?The ladies were sorely puzzled what to do, Work was not Lo be found, and to koep the girl idle, pabsisting upon charity, was impossible, or if not impossible, most harmful.It was their standing rulo mover to help any oxcept the abso- lately helpless; and this girl was young, strong, and able to work\u2014able, too, to tako care of ber- solf in hor own rough way.And every new thing thoy found out in ber made them like her better, and seo what eloments of good woro in hor, wild and untaught as she was, To add to their perplexities, up came Mrs Mac- Phie to say she could not koop tho tinker lassio any longer.Not that she had anything to say against poor Joan, but her neighbors wondered at ber for taking in the \u2018likes o\u2019 them;' and Mrs MacPhie, dirty and untidy as she might be, was sensitive as cook to public opinion.Moreover, whon Miss Kirk went in thé afternoon to her Training Home, the matron told her that a ramor having reached it of twd little tidkers being aboat to be admitted there, the girls bad all risen up in remonstrance\u2014almost rebellion.\u2018And what did you say to them ?\u2019 required Miss Kirk, her heart failing at tho hardnoss of all other hearts to her poor waifs and strays.\u2018I asked if, supposing they wero not good onough for us to have to do with them when alive, when they wero dead, was God expected to find some special beavon for tinkers to go to?\u2019 The lady smiled ; but evidently, even had she intended it, the Home was not likely to suit Joan, or she it, just yet.There was too much of the wild creature in ber to be happy in its restraint, even had the other girls not beon bent on making her miserable.The sense of caste, oven among outcasts, is curiously strong.\u201cI wonder, said Miss Macrae, as tho Lwo friends discussed the knotty point, \u2018if the angels seo as much difference between you and mo and much better folk (whom shall we say?Mrs Fry and Mies Nightingale ?) as our Home girls do between themselves and the tinkers.\u2019 Still, it was a difficult case, until Jean herself solved it, in her brief and determined way, \u2018I'l just gang to my mithor at Lochgilp- head.\u2019 Sho had never spoken before of this mother, except that sho was \u2018daft\u2019 and in the asylum there; but now her beart seemed touched.I'd like to seo my auld mither, and there's folk there that konned her ; and maybe they'd gio me wark.\u2019 For tho ladies had impressed upon her that she must work, that she must never beg any more, but try her best to be an honest girl, wear her decent clothes, and go to church in them every Sanday.\u2018I put groat faith in ber clothes,\u2019 said Miss Mac- rae, aside, \u2018I believe even a thief is less likely to steal if he has a clean shirt on.\u2019 So they gave their consent, some good advice, and a trifle of money, just to save her from hunger on the way, and started her on the expedition, to which in her precocious practical way the girl seemed to have made up hor mind.But her heart, and she ovidently had ono, was soro to go.Thoy could hardly believe the sad-eyed creature to whom they bade good-bye was the brazon-faced little tinker who had accosted them by the old castle scarcely more than a week ago.\u2018Now, mind you are a good girl, Jean, and lot us know how you are getting on from time to time,\u2019 said Miss Kirk, slipping into her hand half adozen directed and stamped envelopes, but rather shyly, lest Miss Macrao might Inugh at her and her istent faith in tinkers.\u2018Ou ay,\u201d answered Jean, with hor accustomed brevity, and sat down on her door-step, while the, ladies passed out.But after they wore gono, she suddenly started up, ran to the gato, and stood watching them down the road, as far as ever she could see thom.Then she camo back, took up her small bundle, in which her kind protectresses had tied up for her a fow odds and ends of clothing, that her sole wordly goods should not consist, as heretofore, of the few rags she stood in, and went solitarily and silently away.\u20181 fear, nevertheless,\u2019 said the good aunt, afterwards telling how she had observed this\u2014°1 fear, my dear, you will hear no more of your two little tinkors.\u2019 \u2018Wo shall ece, aunty dear,\u2019 was the reply, with that peculiar smile\u2014I wish I could paint it !\u2014 balf pathetic, half comical, which Miss Kirk's friends knew 80 well, and which went to the-heart of her various \u2018waife and strays,\u2019 as she called them, more than any preaching.She had faith in them, and they felt it, and it roused them to try and deserve it.Two weeks, three weoks went by, and still no word of Jean.But one Monday morning a lotter came.After that, teveral Monday mornings did Miss Kirk find lying on her breakiast-table à letter to herself in her own handwriting, which must have pussled Jossie, the little house-maid, exceedingly.They were the very oddest lotlers inside, always written by a different ascribe, but dictated evidently by Jean herself, sometimes in the first person, sometimes the third, or elso a combination of both, with additions and improvements by the amanuensis.Often it was with the greatest difficulty that Miss Kirk could make oat the facts contained therein ; still they were always satis- fac facts, The girl was in regular work, sometimes on one farm, sometimes another ; she got enough fo eat, and her clothes wore still decent; she wont to church in them overy Sun.i Se \u2018I told you so,\u2019 remarked Miss Macrae, smiling ; \u2018vanity is at the core of all our hearts\u2014us women.Depend upon it, the great moral engine for poor Joan's reformation has been my old blue polka jacket.\u2019 \u2019 Mise Kirk laughed, but there was a tear in ber oye, as there was when deciphering these eccentric compositions, which it was impossible to answer, on account of the vague address given, \u2018Back of the Post-office,\u2019 \u2018Next door to MaoGal- loway the baker,\u2019 and so on.The only one which bore an intelligent date was evidently the work ot n much shrewder and cleveree person than poor Jean.It was well written, ils sentences were carefully, even neatly tarned, and it ended in asking for money.\u2018That's not Jean,\u2019 said Miss Kirk, at once, \u2018or if its, it is Joan fallen under bed \u2018influence.1 | working.Bbe onslosed the winter, bat uatil then the girl must on more alaæped esy that Jean might bave no excuse for drifting wal from her friends, and assured ber that ber would not let go ef her.Thon she waited ; Miss Kirk was accustomed to wait, She never did with her benevolences as some children do with the roots they plant\u2014dig them up to find out if they are growing, A pause ensued, of wooks, nay months.Miss Kirk had a great deal on hand\u2014wide interests and work continually increasing; but still, whenever people asked after ber two little tinkers, and smiled the disbelieving smile\u2014the silent \u2018I told you s0'\u2014her kind face would sadden and her heart grow heavy.Thonghts of the Good Shepherd, who left his ninety-and-nine sheep to go after the one that was lost, often crossed her mind ; and she wondored whother she had done her best, her very beit, for poor Jean.Among all her heaps of letters, morning after morning, sho somewhat looked for the ono in her own writing, and grioved when it nover came.At last one did come.It contained a formal business letter from the matron of a well-known industrial school, one of those excellent institutions in which our magistrates have the right of detaining children not actually criminal, but in danger of becoming so.Miss Kirk and Miss Macrae, familiar with all benovolent schomes, knew something of both the matron and the school.\u2018MapAM,\u2014] write at tho request of a girl hore, Jean Anderson, or Sanderson\u2014she seers in doubt of her own surname, so we have sot her down as Andorson\u2014who says you know her.She wishes you to beinformed that sho has come in hore, and that she has been an honest girl, as you told her to bo.Finding she could get no work, as it was wintor-lime, sho went to a magistrato, told him she had no home to go to, and was afraid of hor father gotting athor.Ho isa bad character, well known to tho police.She begged to be sent here for throo years, which was dono.Joan Anderson seoms a decent girl, and I have no reason to doubt ber story ; indeed, this onvelope, directed in a lady's writing, seems to confirm it; but I should like to have it further confirmed by you.I have tho honor to remain,\u2019 etc.\u2018What's the lettor about, my dear?\u2019 said the elder Miss Kirk, noticing that her nieco laid it down with a great sigh.\u2018My sheop that was lost, auntio.g I'll go after her at once.\u201d 1t was half a day's journey, but Miss Kirk did not grudge it.When she returned home she said sho should never forget the loud \u2018Ob!\u2019 almost a sob, which she heard, on entering, from the far ond of tbe school room, whero, amid ajcrowd of other girls, mostly bigger than herself, sat poor Jean, trying bard to add to ber little store of learning the art of writing.Éno was & good deal altored\u2014taller and older- looking ; very thin, too, as if she had known actual hunger; but there was loss of the wild animal about ber, and more of tho woman\u2014the possible civilized woman.Her frock, the regulation industrial-sohool dress, was tidily put on; and around her nock,}fasbioned in the tiniest and most unnoticeable bow, was a bit of rod\u2014the identical red ribban which had trimmed hor hat on that wonderful Sunday when sbo first wont to church like a respectable person.She did not eay much, nor Miss Kirk neither, for the girls all round wero staring and listening with all their might and main; but the look in her faco as her friend laid a kind band on tho girl's shoulder, aud said how very giad she was to find her there, was worth coming a long way to seo.\u2018There's twa of us here the noo,\u2019 said Jean.\u2018loot, lassie, dinna hido yersel\u2019; theleddy's seen you before, yo ken,\u2019 And Miss Kirk recognised, though with difficulty, among the scbool-girls, Mary, her second \u2018little tinker,\u2019 the ono who had danced the jig at tho garden-gate, and been carried away twice by the bad mother, not too good ; for, as the matron afterward informed Miss Kirk, Maay had not asked to be sent, but bad been brought there, for one of those small offences which our British law considers more tho fault of the parent than the child, and punishes by sending, not to a prison, but to an industrial school.So both the wild croatures were caught, safe out of harm's way, and in mutual com nionship, of which they seemed heartily glad.The matron said they were, on tho whole, very good girls, though sometimes they got restless, especially in fine weather, and seemed to long to be out in the open country, free as the beasts or the birds.And Miss Kirk, as sho looked on the whitewashed room, spotless tables and benches, and narrow windows, looking upon nothing but high blank walls, and thought of the breezy hillside, the heatbery moor, and the shining lochs, scarcely wondered at it.Bat this must be.llere was a place of safety, a placo to learn in, where the two little tinkers might grow up to be decent and useful members of society after all.They are growing up still.Miss Kirk has ro- coived Jean's first letter, in answer to a many of her own, which the matron begged her to write, saying how much better the girl behaved after receiving them.Her own production\u2014evi- dently her own\u2014is well spelled, neatly written, and, though of course very formal, contains an outburst or two, which shows that the \u2018bread on tho waters\u2019 has not boen entirely thrown away.\u2018And what do you mean to do with your two little tinkers ?\u2019 Miss Kirk'e friends sometimes inquire of her in a somewhat doubtful tone.She does not quite know, since of material so rough it is diflicalt to make good domestic servants, but perhaps she will try.In her own Training Home, the inmates of which once so indignantly ropudiated the poor little tinkers, she takes half a dozen\u2014only half à dozon\u2014girls, almost as uncivilized, and makes thom into good domestic servants.Possibly Jean and Mary will end in being recoived thore.firme END.) THB PRICE OF TWO DRINKS \u2018REMNANTS, threo cents per yard! Whoop! Cheap enough ! Goods is going down ; hope w.don't go after them.\u201d Tom Dillon went on, hands in his pockets.What connected in his mind the brown calico sown with blae aud yellow roses with the thin, wee, fretfal face of his Betty ?Betty was ailing that day her mother said, and she bad thought fit to whine and hold out wistfully her little band when her father went off to work.The fingersin Tom's pocket held ten cents, price of his regular morning drink, By some mental process it occurred to him that ten cents would boy three yards of calico, and that would make Betty a gown ; and when she sat on his knee unfolding it at night the cross, sickly face would grow childlike and gay, \u2018She'll be more glad of the frock than I will of my dram,\u2019 said Tom ; and he tarned back and asked for 3 yards of calieo.On the counter & basket beld narrow white trimmings marked \u20181ct\u2019 Does that mean a cent & yard ¥' said Tom.Chip in a yard, and bring the dime even.\u2019 \u2018Ît will make a very neat little dress, aad the edge will trim the neck and sleeves,\u2019 sid \u2018the shop-girl plesssatiy.must write.\u2019 ee aT : And she ol \u201cWrite, without a day's delay, in - Raperor od mot Well, Botty was not ragged, but she was shabby, and Nora, his wife, was pue te Jook listions and hopeless.Was it bis fauit ?He never was druok, never was drink-cross.Five cents in the morning, tbe same at night, now and then a Bon- day tipple, and a Monday off when he felt dull aud cross\u2014not much over a dollar a week, on the whole, year in and out ; that was all, It was an \u2018all\u2019 that made the difference between comfort and safety, and narrowness and anxiety at home, Tom did not realizo it.He picked up bis parcel.Suppose you buy the little girl a doll; these are only five cents,\u2019 said the shop-womau persuasively, holding up a doll, It was ten inches long bad staring black eyes, a tuft of tow with a gilt band atop for hair, short arms, straight, wooden logs, but it had features and a crimson complex- ian, Tom was not wise in dolls, and this looked fine to him ; it would do Betty, wha had no doll, He paid the nickel.\u201cTonight's drink gone,\u2019 he chuckled, and off ho went to his work.The master was going about the shop that morning.He finally called out clearly: \u2018See bere, my lads, I don\u2019t wish to interfere with your private lives, but you are sponding too much on drinks, Now, who bas not had adram this morning?Speak up.\u2019 .\u2018I never touches it,\u2019 said an old follow, \u20181 baven't had one,\u2019 said Tom Dillon.\u2018And what have you in bank, Abram?asked the master.\u2018Six hundred dollars,\u2019 quoth Abram, toslingfrich.\u2018Well, I bad no dram, bocauso I spent the dime & dram.\u2018It would bo well it Belty stood always lin the way of the dram ; thon easel little Betty would have clothes, and schooling, and books, and a trade or dowry.Bay you spend a dollar a week on drame; if you pad it instead in a box for Betty, and drew out what she noeded each year until she was ton, sho would bavo a balance of her fifty- two dollars.Twenty-five dollars a year would clothe hor when little, and the rest would be laid up.Betty would be an heiress,\u201d As Tom wont homo that night he met a shabby old man selling oranges.\u2018Hallo!\u2019 said Tom: \u2018Two for five conte,\u2019 said Old Tim.When Tom went home he bestowed one orange on Betty and one on Nora.He felt as if Bo should excuse such generosily and delicate attention to his wifo and child.\u201cYou see Old Tim worked in our shop once.Bat he got paralysis, and 80 he's took to selling oranges to keep him out of the poorhouse.\u2019 \u2018What did he oarn in the shop ?\u2019 asked Nora.\u2018Say nine dollars a week, year in and out.\u2019 \u2018How many years did he work there ?\u201cThirty, I'vo heard say,\u2019 replied Tom innocently.\u2018And what did he spond on drams ?\u2019 \u2018Well, he took a little more than I do; but he was not a drunkard, aftor all.Let's say about two dollars a week.\u2019 \u2018Do you know what he'd have had if ho had laid up that every week ?' asked Nora.\u2018No; I'm not so good at schoolin' as you, my ass.\u2019 \u2018Nigh soven thousand dollars, without a mite of interest; but with interest he'd have gono away up to ten thousand ormore.He'd have been a rich man now, not an orange-pedlar.A snug little house, a servant, good farniture, a warm hearth, a tidy table.Now what good do bis drams do him, and he round in tho cold and mud hobbling about selling oranges ?\u2019 Betty in a beatific stato, the flavor of the orange in ber mouth, her doll hugged in her arms ; Nora, looking cheery, diligently cutting and sewing the little gown\u2014these represented to Tom Dillon the price of four drinks! \u2018What are you about, Tom ?\u2019 some ono asked at \u2018nooning\u2019 next day.\u2018I'm making a box to hold my drams for Betty.\u2019 \u2018Why, man, that child can't use drame.\u2019 piel thrive on 'em surprisin\u2019,\u2019 responded Tom on.Waruen PROPARTS.\u2014Every storm has s placo of origin.Within a cortain area, surrounded on all sides by regions where the weather is fair, the barometer begins to fall.The wind blows into that area, not directly towards its centre, but rather on tangent lines, such as the lines on which water is thrown from a rapidly revolving wheel.Tho eky becomes cloudy, and rain or snow falls.This low barometer, or cyclone area, even while it is forming, begins to move.On one part of the globe the direction of the movement is towards the east, and usually, not always, to the north of east.Now the present limit of human knowledge enables a scientific man who is informed of the origin of such a storm, of the shape and size of the area affected, of the intensity of the storm, and of the genoral direction in which it is moving, to predict with reasonable certaint its fature course across the continent.he, or any other man, can do.No one who ig not of the facts we have mentioned can do even that.It is to supply the Chief Signal Officer of the army with the fullest information regarding the formation of storm areas that the government makes large appropriations to maintain signal stations in all paris of the country.It cannot be too omphatically impressed upon the mind that the officer who makes up the \u2018weather indications,\u201d and who is familiarly called \u201cOld Prob,\u201d pretends to no special wisdom regarding the weather.Île knows what to expect in pre cisely the same way as tho tolograph operator who is directing the movoments of Tailros trains can tell you when a certain train will probably arrive, The weathor prophet may be likened to one who, with no knowledge of the road or its timo-table, predicts that at a certain moment a train of seven cars will come into the station.He guesses at it, and it is about a hundred chances to oñe that his guces will be wrong.No doubt tho cause of storms will be discovered, some day, perhaps next year, perhaps not for a thousand years.Wo may rest assured, however, that when Any one discovers it, he will hasten to tell the world, not only that he has found the law, but what the law is.He will not congratulate bim- self il ho predicts correctly once in six times, but 8808 he will distrust his own law if he ever fails.Until science lifts the veil which hides the mystery of storms, it is perfectly safe to.treat every weather prophet, without a single exception, as à charlatan and a pretender, and to no moro attention to their predictions than to the summer breese.A pro heoy which comes true is and can be only a ucky guess, The British Medical Journal invites attention {0 à case montioned in à recent naval medical report of à sailot-bay who, having been forbidden the uso of tobacco, awallowed two small pieces to escape detection and punishment, was taken violently ill, and soon atter died.On t mortem examination of the body the two small pieces of tobacco were found in the stomach.It was a clear case of fatal tobacco-poiscning.This was sudden in its action.There is no doubt at all that many lives are annually sacrificed by to- bacoo- poisoning by the slower process of the som- mon habits of chewing and smoking.on a gown for Betty,\u2019 said Tom.I usuglly have) That is all | olders, ALL OF WHICH VIL BE SOLD 80 CHEAP CASH THAT IT WiLL SUBPRISR YOU
