1e extended to! | offared to ride the express, provided, [ would let THE STORY OF TWO-BITS.A Ix June, 1803, I was made postquartermas- | ter of & command consisting af ona company of the Fifth United States Infantry, and a troup of Cavalry, under orders to buiid and ue- cupy a fort near the town of Prescott, Arizona, pale éfteen recently established as the Capital of the Ter- rider if he gets loose, or be stampeded if his ritory.This command had in possession at the time I mention some three hundred head of cattle, eight hundred head of sheep, and, counting the draught animals and cavalry horses, ono hundred mules and forty horses, The presence of these animals, grazing on the plains aud hillsides about our garrison, was à special temptation to the marauding Navajos and Apaches, and we wero forced into wany fights and skirmishes ip the defence of our stock.\" About six months after our arrival at Fort Whipple, the Califurnia Cavalry was ordered away, and a troop of New Mexican Cavalry took its place.Two days aftr the arrival of the new troup, its captain turned over to me sixteen worn-out, broken down, sick, and generally decrepit horses.1 reccipted for thew, and, according to custom in such cases, ordered 8 public'sale uf them by auction.Ua the morning of the sale the fifer of the among his comrades as Jue Cain, who acted as my servant, paused in the doorway, and asked permission to speak to me.Consent having een given, he said, \u2014 \u2018Would the liftinent like to buy a fine horse ?\u2018No, Cain) 1 replied.\u20181 have one horse, which is sufficient for my use, and | cannot afford the expense of another.\u2018But this borse can be had for little or nothing, sor.\u2019 \u2018Tow much ?' \u2018If the liftinent will let roe have five dollars, \u201cThe best horse in the post for five dollurs 1 Cain, your are talking nonsense, I replied, whore some writing demanded my attention.\u2018If the liftinent will buy the horse | spake cof, he'll niver repint of his bargain, [I've known the baste for tin years, sor; from the time I jined us a music-U'y at Craig, sor.\u2019 I thought I detected theleast tinge of feeling in the old soldier\u2019s voice.Evidently this was no idle whim with him, More to please a valued and trustworthy attendant than with the expectation of obtaining a good horso I gave Cain the five dollars to enable him to attend the auction and \u2018buy the finest horse in the post) Cain bought the animal, a large, fine bay horse, and proceeded to tell me how he cane to ask me to buy him.Hoe was at the corral one day to bring me my horse for a ride, when he saw one of the stable men kicking an old horse to make him rise to his feet.The benst {nade repeated efforts to stand, but each time fell back througly weakness, Cain approached, and recognized in the animal an old acquaintance from certain saddle- marks and a peculiar star in the forchead.Île had \u2018known the horse while in rervice at another post, where the name of Two-bits had Leen given to him.Cain insisted that the old horse knew him, and placed his muzzle in his bands in an appealing way.Cain began his care of the horse at once, and a3 soon as tho auction was ordered, he determined to ask me to buy him ; with what success I have already related.From this time on I had many long rides on Two-Bits in the weary and tiresome pursuit of the Indians, who never neglected to take advantage of the unprotected stato of the Territory.I grew very much attached to him, and often wondered at his intelligence and almost human discernment.He would never desert his rider in danger, no matter what the temptation, In the fall of 1805 the Indian troubles became 80 serious that it was with great difficulty that we could maintain our communications with the outer world.Express riders were frequently killed and scalped, and the contents of the express pouches were scattered for yards around their dead bodies; all letters were opened, and the papers torn to shreds.The danger from the Indians became at last so great that no citizen could be hired to take the mail over the route between Forts Whipple and Yuma at any price 1 was authorized to pry.The only way to get it carried was by the detail of soldiers in sufficient numbers to insure their safety.One of the results of a capture of the mail wis a requisition of supplies did nut reach the subsistence depot on the Pacific coast, and we were on half-rations in consequence for nearly a mouth, On the 20th October a despatch was received from San Francisco, with accompanying instructions that it should be at once forwarded to Sante F&, Accordingly I advertised for an express rider, offering the highest pay allowed for the service.As the road to the northeast was out of the mining region, and for a long portion of the way over a track of country lying between tho Navajo and the Apache ranges, it was not considered to be as dangerous as that lying to the south and west, Still I had no responso to my offer, and began to consider the expediency of asking for a military detail for the servies, when a proposition came from an unexpected quarter.A man who bad been wounded, and brought batk to the fort on the back of Two-Bits from an Indian expedition, came into my office and him use Two.Bits for the purpose.- His same was Porter.He was a sergeant in \u2018FF Company of the 5th Infantry, and a London- derry Irishman by bitth.Years afterward, when he had won a lieutenant\u2019s commission in the army, we knew that he was of gentle descent, ard that he was agraduate of a university.He wah.a handestne, .sold¥erly \u2018 than, of gobd height and undoubted courage.| hand-shakes fram both men and officer.geaut,\u2019 I said to him, \u2018and is nos subject to such ! service.! \u20181 know that, sir; but he has many qualities The horse had received seven wounds, and .4 : PY + three arrows were still sticking in bis body.; - These were removed; but the wounds bled ; fresh.: .> | The horse refused a ration of bread offered him and there remained nothing to be done but \" for Porter to drag himself into the saddle and resume the Journey.Speed was out of the question, an.the horse limped along at a feeble walk.The excitement of the chase was over and | the nerves of both man and beast had lost their } tension.When the pursuit ended they were near the border of the plain, The road led up intoa rugged and hilly country, aud it was already which fit him for it.He is fleet, he will not ET¢¥ing toward twilight.The miles stretched whinny or do any thing to attract attention in au Indian country.He will not desert his vider goes to sleep while he grazes.On the 23th of October Sergeant Porter rode out of Fort Whipple, mounted on Two.Bits,\u2019 alter having received hearty good \u2018wishes uid He cartiod & mail-pouch weighing twenty pounds, ! an overcoat and three Liankets, ten day\u2019 rationa, ! a ourbine and two revolvers, with plenty of ammunition, The adventures of borse and rider, after we! saw them disappear belind the rocks three| miles below the fort, were related to me in 1867 at Fort Sumner, N.M,, Ly Lieut.Porter, Tha ride for four days was without incident ; worth relating.At two o'clock on the fourth day he found himself desconding from a range of hills to a plain about ten wiles in width, The trail bein stony, he dismounted, and walked nlong behin lis horse, leaving the animal to choose his own fait.! A low ridge rose on the edge of the plain, Two-Bits walked slowly up the ridge, raising | his head high as ho approached it, Suddenly | he stopped, perivetly rigid,\u2014 his ears set forward and his eyes fixed upon sume object, evidently in alarm, Porter crept\u2019 carefully forward and looked over the ridge.Behind a mass of boulders which skirted the road, just whero it touched the plain, four Indian ponies could bo ween! Evidently their riders were hidden among the rocks, watching for tho mail-carrier, who they supposed, would pass along the usually travelled route.The sergeant backed Two-Bits far enough to get him out of sight of the Indians, should uny one of them glance in his direction.Mo then carefully examined his- weapons and moved his aminunition to whers it would be more con-\u2018 venient.Mo also examined tho saddle-girths and every strap about the housings.When all was ready he patted the old horse affectionately on the neck and sprang into the saddle, Paiter alwnys insists that Two-Bits understood what was coming as well as he did.During the tightening of the straps he turned his head and watched every motion of the man as, if he had & personal interest in the security of his equipments and rider.Porter advanced cautiously over the ridge and him autil ho should be well past the gullies in the road.These lie passed safely, and, as ho rose to the level ground bayond, he noticed that one of the mustangs in the boulders was hold- | ing its bead bigh in tho air watching his move.| ments, Ho immediately halted, thinking that if he killed a pony he should certainly have one less | pursuer, Aiming caretully,he fred and the! mustang fell.Patting spurs to his horan, he | reloaded his carbine as he flew along, and glancing back saw the Indians leap from their cover | and hurry to their horses, Suon after, the shrill staccato of the Navajo; war-whoup showed that they wero in pursuit, aul Juoking back, he saw three Indians in the, saddle and pursuing him at the top of their ponies\u2019 speed.Two-Bits threw himself into | the task of running away from the mustangs with all tho elasticity and grace which had distinguished him for years in the field and on the race-course, and had always led to victory.He acttied down to a long and steady gait.The soldier was beginning to congratulate himself upon his wisdom in insisting wpon bav- ing Two-Bits for bis service.With every spring the old horse recmed to be leaving his pursuers farther behind, and this continued for several miles, when Porter began to see that no further chango was evident; aud after a little longer, time he had reluctantly to admit that the Na- vnjos were slowly but surely gaining upon him.At last an arrow flow between Porter's shoulder and ear.This was the first intimation he has] that the savages were within shooting distance.Turning in his saddle he raised his carbine and fired, breaking an Indian's arm and causing him to fall into the road, while the riderless pony stopped by the wayside and began at once to graze, As Porter brought his carbine forward, to place a new cartridge in the breech, an arrow struck his right hand, his fingers relaxed, and his precious carbine fell to the ground.Sergeant Porter hastily bound his handkerchief about his wounded hand and drew a revolver with his left.Turning, ho fired several shots, without effect, except to keep the Indians hanging over the sides of their ponies; but after a while, finding his left-handed aiming was perfectly wild, they conceived such a contempt for it that they sat upright and shot arrow after arrow towards him, Two arrows pierced his shoulders, and the shafts of three could be seen sticking in the quarters of Two-Bits, switching up and down with each bound.Atlast a lucky shot cansed ono of the Navajos to pull up suddenly, dismount, and ait down by the roadside.The uther kept on, however, the cagerness with which he began the chase apparently unabated, and soon wounded Porter again, this time along the ribs.In very desperation the sergeant then suddenly turned his horse to tho right about, bore quickly down upoo the Indian pony, and before his rider had time to recover from his sur.rise at this unexpected movement, he sent two ullets into the body of the mustang.The little horse swerved out of the track and fell headlong into a cactus, and before the.Indian could extricate himself Two-Bitaand his ride were out of arrow-shot range.: - Porter distownted fo examine into his and Two-Bite' injuries, Noarrows were left in barpois in September.\u2014Gusstte, » \u2018But Two-Bita is my private property, ser- went slowly down the other side.He was an-! 1 xious to prevent the Indians from discovering \u2018guarded against, wearily out.He did not dare to dismount for reat, fur rest for the hore would unfit the animal fur further effort, and without a horse he felt that he could nut wake tho rest of the journey.Fis caused tho soldier to press on into the darkness.At laut he reached a height ovor- looking a narrow valley, and on the other side raw & bright fire burning, which occasionally disappeared and reappeared as if persons were passing before it, The hopes of the sergeant were at once revived at the prospect of reaching friends and assistance : Lut the hopes were as quickly suppressed by tho fear that the fire might be that of an enemy.But even an enemy might prove a friend to one in his plight, so he pressed on.Two-Bits was so weak that ho travelled very slowly, and hours elapsed befors the valley was cronsed and ho had brought his rider near the fire.He was ascending the hillside on which the tire was burning, when the rattle of halter- chains over fecd-boxea\u2014a sound familiar to soldier-cars\u2014came pininly through the evening air, and the sergeant knew that he was near a Governwent train, With the welcome assurance of help he grew faint and fell from the saddle to the earth senseless.Two-Bits kept on into camp, approached the camp-tire, looked into tho faces of the guard which sat about its cheerful blaze, turned as if to retrace his steps, staggered, fell, and never rose Again.The appearance of a horse, sa:lled and bridled, & mail-bag strapped on his back, his saddle covered with blood, his body wounded in half- a-dozen places, his sudden fall, startled the whole camp into activity.Tho military escort was soon under arms, horses and mules wero quickly saddled, and lanterns were soon hurrying down the road.The meu soon found Sergeant Porter, lyin appar- ontly dead Loside tho rudd.He was takon into camp, tenderly cared for, and in two days arrived at Fort Wingate, the place for which the train was bound, CAUSES OF SUDDEN DEATHS, Tit: number of sudden deaths in large, perhaps increasingly so, though the popular impression may be false, since the daily press and the telegraph have made a neighborhood of the whole land.One source of sudden deaths is accidents, but inany events pass under the head of acci- \u2018dents which might have been foreseen, and Americans, particularly, are apt to lako great risks; for example, in their eating, their clothing, their building, in crossing railway tracks, and in many other ways.: How careless wo aro! No staging need ever fall, \u2018and it would not if proper care were taken in tho choice of material and in construction, Think of the frightful list of deaths resulting from the use of «il poured upon a lighted fire to cause it to kindle more quickly ! With many other cases of sudden death our personal ills scom at first sight to have almost nothing to do.There may be a fatal break in the physical machinery at à point wliere weak- nous has not been suspected, The heart, perhaps, becomes unnaturally enlarged, or its tough, muscular fibre turns to fat, and suddenly there iv a mortal rupture, Or the enfeebled hoart fails to send Llood to the brain, and the man drops dead in the street, or at his business, or, more fortunately, perhaps, in the midst of his family, In other cases there may Le a degeneration of the cerebral artery, and high living, or a glass of wine, ur an excitement of passion, may arouse the heart to send the blood to the brain with & force too great fur the weakened arterial wally to withstand.These walls give way at one or two points, the outpoured blood presses agninst the nerve centres, and thus is cut off the necessary supply of nerve force to vital organs, Tho man [alls unconscious, and within a few days dies.We have not space to speak of other causes somewhat similar, but in most of them the weakness of the link at which the chain breaks is due tv over-exertion [to too continuous brain-work, to excesses in eating and drinking, to pussion, to worry.The weak spot being ascertained, the fatal result may bo prevented for yoarn, perhaps indetinitely, by a carefully regu- ated life, London, August 4.\u2014In the commons this evening Thomas M.Sandys, Conservative, asked whother the government was aware that the object of Mgr.Persico is visiting Ireland was practically to make a political, though nominally a re- ligfous, enquiry into the condition of the country, is question wns met with.derisive cheers by the l\u2019arnelliter, \u2018Ion W.11, Smith said the govern- mont wus not cognizant of & papal mission, having had no communication from the Pope on the subject.So far\"as the government was concerned, Myr.Persico was a private individual, who was visiting lroland for reasons best known to himself.(Parnellite cheers.)

The government felt that it had gone further than justice to the landlords would permit, and refused to offer a premium to tenants not to pay their rents.As the law now stands, the Irish tenant has fixity of tenure so long as he pays bis rent, can apply to the courts whenever he chooses to revise bis reot, and which, if he shows sufficient cause, will reduce his rent, can demand compensation for all improvements he makes on the farm, and can sell his tenant- right to whom be pleases should the landlord refuse to buy it when be leaves That with such laws regulating land, its price should be going down and landlords be seeking admission to poorhouses is not surprising.There is not an American who owns land, and who spouts at the meetings held \u201cto express sympathy with downtrodden Ireland\u201d would submit to have the same laws regulate his property.That the new act will satisfy the Nationalists is not to be expected, for what they want is confiscation.Lord Salisbury by passing it, however, has shown to the world that they have no cause for their discontent and rebellion against authority.A CABLE despatch states that the Imperial government bas declined to assist any scheme of state emigration.For this Canada has cause to be devoutly thankful, for experience has proved repeatedly that subsidized or forced emigration is undesirable.No colony can get too many of the right class of people, those of industrious and steady habits, who will come of their own accord and do not need assistance.The class who avail themselves of free or par- tially-paid pamages, are a nuisance and an in- jery.With the existing low passage-rates there is no need for government interference, at least with emigration to Canada.MorRE Canadian sealing schooners have been seiged in the Northern Pacific by U.S.cruisers, and there are now 7 held at the capital of Alaska.Those vessels bave ali been taken on the high seas, and generally out of sight of land.Diplomatic correspondence is in progress with the likelihood of the American government having to release the vessels and pay damages to their owners.ORMSTOWN.- The meeting in 8t Paul's church on Thursday evening, in connection with the teachers\u2019 institute, was well attended.Though the atmosphere was sultry, the audience were deeply in- torented in the subjects brought vividly befure them by the speakers.Colonel McEachern, - who wes ebairman, in a happy speech intro Ere \u2018several speakers, Rov Mr Harris, Dr oe Mr Rexford, Rev D.W.Morison, -; ond De sé Gincipiine, gud of the duties of school BST me ep sn ry RYT) HAE : : tp, 17 Gas Lo tem ai A a \u2018 oo = 5 ,( + higher class, to ensure and promote better education.He spoke against crowded schools, bad ventilation, neglect of sanitary laws, &c, He asked his audience to deeply consider the fact that from 75 to 100 of their children were stuck in a small school day in and day out.He cited our village school as a sample.The addresses were varied by music from the choir, under the presidence of Rev Mrs Morison.The Institute, as & whole, Was not as successful as the one held two yearsago.The lecturers did their part, but their hearers shrank from asking Questions or even answering them, when put, so that the meetings were not as hearty as could be wished.The hot weather and the uncomfortable seats, which made the teachers desire the sessions to be as short as possible, may bave had something to do with this short coming.' entertaining all in attendance could not ceeded.As the account of the death of Andrew Houston, in the Gleaner of the 28th ult., con-| tained a few inaccuracies, [ send the following statement of the sad accident : Andrew Houston, | aged 16 years and 10 months, son of W.Houston, : River Outarde, and for some months clerk in R.N.Walsh's store, left the shop and went alone to bathe in the river, a\u2018short distance below the | saw-mill.Clothes were seen on the bank by; several persons, but some time passed before the alarm was given.Certain enough they were the garments of poor Andrew, whose body was in the river.A great crowd assembled and the body was at last recovered, after having been an hour in the water.Dr Hall spared no efforts to restore life, but the spirit had fled.\u2019 Andrew was a promising young man, his employer had evidence of abilities rarely met, being of a close, studious aud persevering nature, What he did, he did well.e could not swim, but was determined to learn.The place he chose was dangerous, being very uneven in the.bottom.His body was found in 10 feet of water.A young wan, named Elliot, who jumped from an excursion train at Bryson station, | received a deep cut under the chin, bad several teeth knocked out, and received slight bruises, but notbing sufficiently serious to prevent his returning to Montreal.The train was moving at 15 miles an hour when he jumped.The act was rash, and the result was not so bad as the! doctor anticipated.| HEMMINGFORD.The protracted heat and drought by which we have been visited during the past fortnight, | have seriously injured our grain crops, oats] especially.These are deficient, not only be- | cause of their having ripened too rapidly and so not having filled well, but they have, in ! many instances, been injured by rust.There can be no doubt now that the oat crop in this | part of the country, will fall considerably short, both in quantity and quality, of an average one.The showers of Friday night last bave been of some benefit to late outs, to buckwheat, and to + ! The hospitality and kindness of the villagers ci Higher salaries must be paid teachers of a councillors regarding the granting of a bonus to the propose railway extension from St Martine to alleyfield.Owing to the euntinued drought of the past few weeks, it is feared the vegetable crop of this section will be far below the average.Farmers having tomatoes for sale should find a good market in Valleyfield, as when our two canning factories start the demand will be large.It is currently reported that a number of gentlemen, prominently connected with the Grand Trunk and Beauharnois Junction railway, are negotiating for the purchase of the Buisson point, a large grove, beautifully situated on the banks of the St Lawrence near Mel- locheville, and well adapted for a summer hotel or picnic park.Mr E.Dion, merchant, is Gtting up a large eanning factory for the purpose of canning tomatoes and other vegetables.Merchants are complaining of a scarcity of good butter and eggs on the market.Mr Juho Crichton, sen, who for 27 years was mauager of the Valleyfield paper mills, has resigned and is succeeded by Geo.M.Loy, who formerly was connected with the mill.The game of lacrosse here Saturday, between the Garnets of Cote St Paul and Valleyfield was declared à draw, Valleyfield scoring two games and the Garnets one.HUNTINGDON.On Saturday afternoon a match-game was layed between the junior lacrosse club of Val- eyfield and the juniors of this place, resulting in four straights for our youngsters, On Saturday Mr Andrew Gilmore of Elgin drew a sum of money from the bank, with the intention of proceeding to Quebec on Monday, to get out of quarantine a lot of shorthorns that had been imported to his order.During the evening, his pocketbook, containing $107, was either taken out of his pocket or fell out\u2014 appearances point to its being stolen, as no trace has been found of it.On Tuesday a carriage drawn by 4 horses dashed into the village from Chateaugay, N.Y.Its occupants were Mr Watson from Pittsburg, Penn, and party, who are spending their holidays in the novel mode of driving their own team.They took the train for Montreal, and after doing that city returo here for their 4-in- hand, and drive homewards.Their trip has been a delightful one.Towards the close of last session, Mr L.N.Masson proceeded to Ottawa, bearing the petition for opening au outlet from the La Guerre to the St Louis, and which, accompanied by several members, he presented to Sir Hector Langevin.Before the house rose, Me Scriver spoke to Sir Hector, who said if nothing was done in due course, he would be obliged by being reminded of the matter.The department taking no action, Mr Scriver wrote Sir Hector a pastures, but they came too late to be à ma-chort time ago, who promptly iustructed Mr terial help to the bulk of our grain crop, and Sullivan, P.L.S., to examine the ground and the rain was not bountiful enough to do much (make a report.Mr Sullivan is now engaged good to potatoes and other roots.Indian corn, jn taking levels and expects to send in his re- , My Rexford of school McGregor.spoke which was beginning to suffer seriously for the want of moisture, was greatly benefitted by Friday night's rain\u2014and will probably turn\u2018 out an average crop.Apples, too, will be: helped by the rain.The later varieties were!

trip over the road from Hemmingford to Franklin Centre (which your correspondent enjoyed yesterday) will convince the most incredulous that for bad roads, that rtion of Havelock from the Hemmingford ine to Saunders\u2019s factory, and of the parish of St Antoine Abbé, from thence westward, will carry off the palm.Large stones (one might almost call them boulders) cover the road-bed in delightful confusion, and the traveller wonders that the corporation of both municipalities have not before now been mulcted in heavy damages for the damages daily caused to both animals and vehicles.But though the attention of the mayors of both municipalities, have been repeatedly called to the atrocious state of the road under their control, by Mr Edward Ryan, the mail-driver, who is obliged to pass over these roads 6 times every week, they pursue the even tenor of their way, apparently unconscious that they owe any duty to the travelling public, except to furnish them with as many bumps and shakes as possible.But forbearauce has its limits, and the former experience of the corporation of Havelock should convince them, that travelers have rights which our courts of law will, if necessary, compel these corporations to accord them.X.67 At the provincial rifle match, which began on Tuesday, the following prizes fell to competitors from this section : Nureery match: 9th prize, $4, Private Me-

of the National line, this afternoon, He rowed up in a small boat alongside the Queen and threw a bottle containing some kind of explosive on board.An explosion followed which set fire to the steamer, The flames, however, were soon extinguished, The police went in pursuit of two pieces of gaapipe, packages of powder, good sulphur, phosphorus, chrystals of chloride of potassium.several glass tubes, and sore blasting cape fur Atlas powder, besides eluthes and note-books, several yards of fuse, aud a bux of draughtsman\u2019s instruments completed the list.The pipes were of heavy brass, of unequal lengths, and at about one-third of the distance from one end of each was a cock, which the police did not attempt to turn to-day.The shank of the cock was made of soft metal that could be eaten away by acid, and placed in à smaller chamber and thus explode the contents of the larger.Captain Gastlin, who made the examination, remarked, \u201cMooney was ready to blow up a fleet.\u201d - London, August 6\u2014The police here claim that Mooney, who attempted to destroy the British steamer, The Queen, at New York, is well known to them, Mooney, who was formerly known as \u201cMoorhead,\u201d caused the explosions at the Glasgow gas works in 1882, when several of his accomplices were imprisoned, and was also concerned in the explosion of the local goverument and Times offices.For this latter outrage an accomplice named McDermott was imprisoned.Mooney then cscaped to America and subsequently attempted to blow up the Parliament buildings at Quebec, with dyovamite, For this purpose he made use of funds which had been supplied to him b O'Donovan Rossa to be used in England.Mooney then got into hot water with Canadian Fenians.Recently he has experimented with dynamite near New York.The blowing up of the Andre statue, the police assert, was Mooney's work.They claim that he is affecting the iu- sanity dodge.- .New York, August 9.\u2014Mooney, the dynamiter, stated last night that he was the individual who blew up the local government board offices in London, and was the first man to use dynamite against the English government.He also said that no Irish society had

of this port.A Witness reporter, who was recently deputed to obtain a few fucts and figures on this subject gives the following interesting report :\u2014 Mr J.Kimball, proprietor of the Montreal Horse Excbange, expresses himself highly pleased with tho rapid progress of the horse trade in the Dominion and predicts a great future for the ranches which sare being established in the North-Western districts.Up to the present time 450 imported horses have beon handled at the Exchange and forwarded to their several destinations.They consisted chiefly of pedigreed Clydes, English Shire and Cleveland Bay stallions, ponies and brood mares, Last year about 1000 were received.The number of horses received for sale this veur at tho Exchange to July 6th amounted to 2549, and 3903 were received for export and forwarding, The number of sales for the same period wus 1137, the majority being heavy working and carriage\u2019 horses, In order.to meet the extra accommodation required, about 60 new stalle have been added to the stables, The new horse cars are said to be giving such general satisfaction that many of the leading firms in the Wostern States prefer to ship their horses via Montreal in preference to the American lines.At the present time Mr Kimball has in charge 43 horses consigned to Glasgow that were bred on the range of the Tongue River Cattle, Sheep and Horse Company of Montana, This is the first consignment ever brought into Montreal.They aro all from West country mares and imported Clydo stallions, They look wonderfally well, especially considering their journey ot 200 miles trail across country, and a car journey of 17 days.There has been a large increase in the cattle trade this season, compared with the corresponding period of last year.The accommodation at the Stock Yards, Point St Charles, is for 5000 cattle, 2000 sheep and 2000 hogs, and the pens are constantly utilized.The yards cover about 20 acres, and give employment to about 80 men.Animale received up to the middle of July from the 1st of January this year, were: 43,467 cattle, 8542 sheop, 12,433 hogs and 9812 calves and , the animals being able to be shipped at time during the day, and they can be conveyed tn the cara to tbe wharves at very short notices, My Willism Muoro, the superintendent, stated that the North-West ranches were rapidly developing and be anticipated doiag an immense trade with them.An Kaglish company bas recently established un exteusive ranch nesr Calgary, and My McNeil, the manager of the company, will arrive on the 13th instant from Liverpool with an important consignment of 210 brood mares in foul, 10 be forwarded to the ranch with the intention of breeding borses suitable for the British cavalry.THE LIBERAL UNIONISTS.LoxpoN, Aug.6.\u2014The Unionist members of Parliament gave » banquet to Lord Hartington last evening.Mr Brigur, who presided, prefaced his remarks by suying that those who complained of their supporting tho Tory Government were those outside who had been in and wanted to be in again Ho traced the history of the Gladstone home rule movement in terms of strong condemnation, Even Sir George Trevelyan, he ssid, admitted that if Mr Gladetone\u2019s bills were again prosented he would oppose them, To put the matter plainly and shortly, Mr Gladstone wss ready to consider anything, uccording to bis own profession, bat, ag fur as he (Mr Bright) could sup, with very little hope of stundoning the mont objectionable portions of bis measures.Mr Gladstone expected to sweep the country.He had swept it but had not gathered much, (Laugbter.) Mr Bright strongly denounced the Parnellites, at least 60 of whom, he said, were maintained by dollars from the American Irish, who would dearly love to Cause & wur between Groat Britain and the great American republic.Mr Gladstone bad said that any scheme fatbered by him must be acceptable to these men.While ho was in that frame of mind there was an end of hope of a settlement, His speech was eloquent, but he failed to enlighten the country as to his views.Ie was like the Spanish host whose guests complained that he guve them little to eat but plenty of tablecloth, Mr Bright concluded by expressing sorrow and regret that he had eve raeen Mr Gladstone insult the workmen of England in the question of trudes union, that bo had seen him try to render Scotland and Wales dissatisfied, and to obatraot the business of parliamont in bobalf of a policy which a majoity of the people of the kingdom condemned.Lord HARTINGTON on rising was loudly cheer ed.He admitted that the government had consulted the Unionist leaders on the original draft of the land bill.They believed and hoped that pending the introduction of a larger measure it would be unnecessary to adopt a principle so full of risk and danger to the passage ot a great purchase scheme as the principle of reviaion of judicial rents payable by solvent tenants.He continued : \u201cWe further believe that the equity and bunkruptoy clauses would relieve insolvents, besides indirectly benefiting those who were solvent, But the reception of he bankruptcy clauses compelled the government to adopt some alternative measure, Therefore, I do not think we are in the loust discredited by supporting and advising the government in the conduct of the bill, Passing to the complaint that the Unionists !did not take sufficient notice of Mr Gladstone's concessions, be said he wished to point out to Sir George Trevelyan that those concessions would never have been made had sll the Unionists thought it their duty to take the course he had adopted.(Cheers and laughter.) After farther twitting Sir George Trevelyan upon his change of front, Lord Hartington proceeded to criticise the concessions.Ile said if Mr Gladstone has reconsidered and decided upon a Land Bill equitable to Ireland and not open to the objections we made last year that certainly is some approach to our views.ln regard to the rotention of the Parnel- lites I fear Mr Gladstone does not grasp our views.Ifthe Parnellites are retained in addition to the schome of last year, their retention will become an aggravation, We only attach importance to their retention so long as there is no question as to the competence of the Imperial arliament to legislate as it thinks ft on.Irish affairs or control any subordinate body to which *it may delegate certain duties in Ireland.That is a point of view to which Mr Gladstone has never referred.As to the separation of Ulster, that would involve a total reconstruction of Mr Gladstone's bill, a fact which he seems never to havo (admitted.I \u2018fear we bave not made our position intelligible to Mr Gladstone, because he bas never referred to my claim that tho power of a subordinate body should be delegated not surrendered.It may bo true he is making concessions, and that they may bein fact of conciliatory the fellow in a rowboat.He had pat out for the Jersey shore, but they captured him and\u2019 brought him to police headquarters.He said: he was one of the band of men who had effect- \u2018 ed an organization having for its object the de- | struction with explosives of every vessel carrying the British flag.The broken bottle was | taken to police headquarters.It contained kerosene, naphtha and rags soaked in chemicals, Prisoner took it coolly.\u201cI was thwarted in this,\u201d he said, \u201cbut there are plenty of others at work who will avenge the fosali to American vessels and burn every vessel carrying the British flag.\u201d The prisoner gave the name of Conrad J.Mooney, and said he lived at No.\u2019 1 267 Warren street, Brooklyn.He was remanded until the morning.Mooney told the police he formed one of the gang of men who bad determined to burn every vessel entering the port carrying the British flag.The seizure of American vessels in Canada and the usurpation of all commerce by the English had induced him to join the band.A long double-edged knife was found in the man's pocket.The steamer was only slightly damaged.New York, Aug.4\u2014Thomas J.Mooney, who threw a bottle containing explosives on the deck of the steamship Queen yesterday afternoon, was arraigned in the Jefferson Market Police Court.Jo bis trunk vo lambs, These are all Canadian stock, the major- 'gpirit, but they form no bases of agroement be- ity being exported to Groat Britain from Mont.' tween the sections of the Liberal party.Therefore real, Portland and Halifax, in the following pro-'1 see no reason for a change in our position, portion : 30,504 cattle and 4600 sheep.The either towards Mr Gladstone or the government.average value of the cattloroported is $60 to $65, The independent attitude of the Dissidents may and of sheep $6.From the above three ports.be somewhat of a source of weaknees, but I see about two hundred vessels are employed in the no reason that the Conservatives should not adopt export trade.| a reforming and progressive policy.With refer- r BH.C.Telfer, superintendent of the stock once to a closer union with the Unionists, such yards, stated to 8 Witness reporter that the qua.' would be an almost perfect form of organization.lity and condition of the cattle this year are far\u2019 But I believe that until we have had more exper- superior to that of provious years.There is ionce of their willingness to co-operate in re- every requisite accommodation at thecattle yards, forme, and until we are assured of the desire of which aro situated close to tho wharves and rail.one section in advance of the other to accept An American company has recently been formed reasonable compromises, the time is not ripe for to build suitable premises in order to carry on a such a closer union.Such experience is impossi- canned meat factory near the sheds.| ble in the present sossion, but I believe progress The Live Stock Insurance Company have in.|is being made, and that the time is approaching sured 12,746 head of cattle, and 1746 sheep since When such eubjects may be readily taken up by tho opening of navigation ;

calls attention to the monopoly the Americans enjoy in whaling in Hudson's Bay.He says the fish and mammals possessing commercial | value in these waters are the right whale, the white whale, the porpoise, seals of all kiads, the walrus, polar salmon and trout.The commander has a good word to say of the E-kimo.about six o'clock, several of them felt the earth tremble, but thon cured beyond a

going into details as to the plan of campaign proposed by the rebel leader, There was one sentence plain and clear which showed that Riel had laid broader plans of conquest than were generally supposed, and also tells how strong a feeling he had for the people of the territorial capital.The sentence referred to reads :\u2014No more pleasant sounds will be heard in heaven than the cries of

feeling of jealousy has existed between them for some time.O'Couner has been in the habit of chaffing Carroll continuously about taking away the latter's business, and had been tormenting him a good deal during to-day.This enraged Carroll, and the ill-feeling had a fatal termination this evening as the men were about leaving market for the night, when Carroll took up a large butcher knife and without a word of warning ran it through O'Conner\u2019's neck.The wounded man fell to the ground in a pool of blood, and before the hospital ambulance, which was telephoned for, | arrived he was dead.The body was removed to the General hospital.Carroll was immedi- ' ately arrested and contined in the Central station.The two policemen who made the arrest claim that Carroll, at the time of the arrest, was under the influence of drink, though not drunk.The knife with which the deed was committed is about 9 inch by 1 inch blade and rusty ; the recent blood stains cover above 4 inches of the

arrival off the western end of the, Straits that the compass would not work owing | to wagnetic disturbances, Altogether he considers the navigation of Hudson's Straits as being more than ordinarily difficult, with shores inhospitable and bleak, presenting a picturd of loneliness and desolation.The only safety in thick weather lies in the constant use of the lead and keeping a bright lookout, as the dead reckoning is frequently in error to a considerable extent.He finally recommends that it is desirable a government vessel should annually visit the region to regulate the fisheries, and urges

a man experiments oftener than his stomach, said a New York gentleman who is old enough to have dyspepsia and young enough to hope to be cured.A man will stomach when he wouldn't think of interfering with his clerk or book-keeper in his store.Yet he has been in business all his life, and probably could take the place of his book-keeper to-mor- row.The book-keeper has his work to do, and so long as be does it well his employer doesn\u2019t come around with a new system or a new style of books every week or two to have the bookkeeper switched off.That's not the way to do business ; but the very man who wouldn't potter around with his employés goes experiment- \u2018ing on himself when he doesn\u2019t know what, if anything, is the matter with him.There's a thing I read in the Sun a few weeks ago that a man should drink a few pints of hydrant water immediately on getting up in the morning.Now let me give you a list of the things that a man should ta stomach the first thing every morning.I've authority for all these: some have been told me by my friends, the majority I have seen in the papers, which have recently done a good deal in this good for the stomach in the morning line : A pinch of \u2018salt in ice water.A teaspoonful of salt in water as hot as you can take it.A cold lemonade very sweet, Hot lemon juice with salt.Eat a lemon without drinking anything.A cocktail.Strong coffee.Tea and toast.The juice of three oranges, À raw egg.Figs.Beef tea.Immediately on getting up take a bard cracker and devote five minutes to masticating it thoroughly.Take a tepid bath and absorb water through the pores of your skin.This will make you active and limber all day.Exercise till you are in a sweat, Then drink water that has been boiled, thus making sure of the death of any germe.That is only a start on the list.There is a fascination in it tome.I want to try each one of those directions and see what effect it has on me.Every week or so l see a new one, and I experiment with that.There must be something good in them for somebody, but what I want to know is why have they such a fascination for most men ?Why must & man always be tiokering with his stomach?There are hundreds of patent medicines, and the proprietors of all of them are growing rich.It has gone so far that patent medicines are advertised to counteract the effect of injurious and impure drugs taken under the guise of tonics, Next there will be new patent medicines to.counteract the effects of these.All these medicines have a big sale.There seems to be an instinct in & man's stomach, like a child's desire for every new toy, that makes him want to give his stomach an experience with every new medicine he hears of, on advice of kind friends and newspapers give him.It sometimes seems to me that the martial spirit of mankind that formerly had an outlet in cracking some one's head with a battleaxe or jabbing lances at each other holidays now vents itself in making a battle-ground of a man's stomach.One friend says : .\u2018Old fellow, you're nut looking well.Dyspepsia again ?Well, I know just the thing for it.Take a pint of boiling water every morning.Brace you up.Make you feel like a new man.Next friend comes along, says same thifig, only cold water.Another man says some pat nothing serious had oc-' tinker with his\u2019 e into his | NEWS BY ATLANTIC

and then, after blowing us along for a spell, it fuiled us one morning with a slowly falling glass and a long, ugly, gray swell coming out of tho sou\u2019west, and u sort ot dirty blue sky filmed the air with baze that might havo passed for the drainings from smelters\u2019 chimneys.Amid this tho sun bung like a huge jelly-fish, a shapeloss oozing of brightness, with scarco enough of power in him to put a streak of light into the brow of the swell that swung heaving up, tull, out of the near horizon, with summits that seemed to be trying to wash the yollow stain he made out of the vault of the sky.Thero was a queer smell of decayed marine vegoiable mutter about, which came up in whifls when tho rolling of the bark made white water alongside ; and, in spite of the sky being thin enough tu let tho ghost of the sun show (brough, thero was a look overhead that mado you think that, if it was night, you'd soe green lightning playing about over the mastheads, like tbe durtings of tbe phosphorus from the ship's side in black water when you're in the tropics and the night lies dead upon the breathless tosom of the ocean.Well, what these plain signs betoken came to pass right enough, The glares went on dropping, and the swell camo along in a wilder and angrier roll, until at three o'clock that afternoon there was scarce more gdaylight visible than you'll find in the last lingerings of twilight ashore.We were snugged down to lower topsails, the yards square, for there was no call to brace them one way or another when for hours there hadn't been a breath of wind ;

The service was almost more than some of us could besr body into the wator we all let our breath out in a sob as the tiny hammock sped like a snowflake over the side, and vanished in the slant of a ren the spot.HEATHENISM AS SEEN BY A RECENT When one probes beneath the surface of this mystic religion, one finds a reality rotten to the cure.The glowing poetry and sublime imagery of the Vedas, and the prehistoric sacred works of India, should be sources of the highest aspirations and a deeply religivus life.- But of the millions of natives who profess to follow those teachings, and of the millions of pilgrims who daily journey to Benares, hardly one seems to have a true conception of what was ideal, spiritual, or religious iu the ancient belief.Little is left of this ennobling creed but the ignoble ruins of à ceremonial, à superstition, and an idolatry, confined, rigorous, and hopeless as the tomb.| One day,\u2014it was a great festival,\u2014we went at sunrise to the Ganges to see tho pilgrims bathe in its holy waters.Thiy surely is one of the most startling and wondrous sights in the \"world! The city as we entered was illuminated with a soft, rosy light, the streets were thronged , with natives streaming down to the river i _ thousands through the dusty streets and under The dress of the pilgrims consisted of the lightest drapery, of most Leauti- .dust-lnden trees, ful colors, loosely worn, Many of the pilgrims, no doubt, came from homes far away in the remote parts of India.What a strength of faith\u2014irrational faith to be sure\u2014was there! How wildly their hearts | were throbbing ! for they had been waiting and i longing for this day for a long time, perhaps for all their lives, Every day come pilgrims in crowds to this (sacred city, to become purified by bathing in the sacred waters of the Ganges.Out of a i population of three hundred thousand, half of | them are pilgrims, ever shifting.We leave our carriage as we near the river land make our way through the dense crowds of { pilgrims, not one of whom evinces the slightest interest in our presence.Here and there some \u2018fine-featured girl who stays our admiration, i may.perhaps, look a second time, but all interest quickly fades frum her eye.: Reaching the river, we take a boat and are rowed up the stream.We see the city stretch- (ing along its banks for wiles, Flights of high steps line the river, and at their top rise temples, | palaces and towers, and in the midst of them ithe superb mosque, with its two towering | minarets, erected by the Emperor Aurungzcbe 1in the seventeenth century.The steps are like a grand stand on a racecourse, thronged with natives of all ages, down to even little children, pressing into the waters as far as they can get.Rich and poor, well, ill, and dying, are either in tho water or waiting their turn to onter it, to wash away their sins, to pray, and to throw into it innumerable garlands of little yellow flowers.Every conceivable i kind of colored drapery is here, and in folds as beautiful as if nature had arranged it.The worning sun is now well up and brilliantly shining over the river, which is here about a third of a mile across, and flooding all the animated scene in a rich and mellow golden light.Floating down this great river, we gaze bewildered at these multitudes at their devotions, \u2018 washing, drinking, and throwing in their flowers ' as offerings to the goddess whose river it is supposed to be.The drapery of the women is of beautifully toned colors, dyed in simple but lovely hues, and all different.All are bathing and washing.Some remain in the water for hours together, wrapped in the deepest thought and religious contemplation, all seeming most earnest in their devotions.Even the sparkling-eyed little children, like black cupids, wade into the water and mutter their little prayers with all the solemnity of thei elders, notice.Here and there, dotted about amongs are the priests.money fast, for they scem very busy.on their forehends à small spot of a sticky look price.place for burning the dead, where the fire, having done its work, still lies smouldering, T4 In this country cremation exists in its most barbarous form, revolting not only to the finer sensibilities, but Lo the most ordinary decencies of life.The pyre is built of logs about five feet long with shorter logs laid across.When it has thus reached a height of about three feet, the naked Lady, so recently dead that it is still limp and warm, is placed upon it, the legs bent at the knees, and packed with the feet against the thighs, as only a Hindoo\u2019s legs can be bent.| More logs are then placed over the body, and with much ceremony the whole is set alight.When the body is burnt, its ashes are thrown into the holy river, which is here a turbid flood, polluted with the filth of millions, and with the odies of dead men, which are continually passing down.Fancy bathing in such water! and further, fancy the possibility of drinking it, as do these poor Hindoos | Some of the sights to be seon on this river are too revolting for description.| The British Government has put a stop to practices which used formerly to be common ere, practices which were not discouraged by We float down almost amongst them.We.might as well be invisible, for we attract no ing substance, for which tbe priests exact a high O0 R We now pass close to a burning ghaut, or the Everything in Benares is worahi pebbles from the river and dust from ren ne temple we visited is saered to the Brahm, bulls.There were many bulls there of huge ize fat, content, and garlanded with flowers.\u2019 There are also many wells, all most sacred One to which we went, the well of knowleq e, the water of which the pilgrims drink, is nearly filled up with the flowers whicl the worshipper, have thrown in as offerings.The smell from these wells is absolutely choking in its offen siveness, and the slush about them nearly ankle, deep, ; All we saw, excepting from a pic point of view, was painful in the extreme ue must be almost impossible to eradicate super stitions so inrooted as are thuse of the Brahmins, True religion, science, and education alone cap reach and cleanse these morally pestilent spots © PAY UP NOTICE, LL accounts due the undersign A not settled before the Jat September Etre will positively have to bo handed into an allorney for cullection.J.A.PLAMONDoN Trout River, August 2nd, 1887, \u2019 N.B.\u2014I will take in Kguv, Buiter, all kinds, und pay tbe big them.45 n and Grain of hest market price fur J.A.P, SUMMER SALE.\u20140\u2014 VERY piece of Summer Dress Goods at _ All of our light Prints at cost.Seorsuckors Muslina and Piques ut cost.Balance of Parasols ut cost.Ladies\u2019, misses\u2019 and children's low shoes and slippers ut cost.Men's and boys\u2019 straw hate at cost.This is a genuine sale at cost, continuin until the 10th day of August, and not one day longer, for ut that date, we will open out a fuil ino of NEW FALL GOODS.To open this weok, 1 case ladies\u2019 evoning shawlg in wool aud cashmere.Something nico and cheap.Just received 1 case Corsets and Bustles, SPECIAL NOTICK.LI, thore needing Oils, Leads and Paints, will do well to call on me before purchasing, George Hunter, P.S.\u2014Just put to stock a full lino of mater for Lustrn und Oil painting, gt WH SHARPE is payiug the lighest price for eggs, L Sr.JAMES STRLET EMPORIUM \u2014FOB\u2014 FINE TAILORING AND READYMADE CLOTAING ¥ AT POPULAR PRIOES., A.M.ALLAN & Co.218 St James Stroot, Montreal Near Mcchanies Hall and Merchants\u2019 Bank, \\ A 7M.SHARPE is closing out all Bummer Goods at cost DON\u2019T FAIL TO VISIT \u2014 THE a= .CHATEAUGAY CHASM!
