cowpea hay, which offers valuable suggestious to other localities where forage plants dificult to cure in uncertain weather are \u2014ag, for instance, alfalfa and clover.Field curing of cowpea hay requires several days, aud with the chances of ordinary weather this meaus damage STACK FRAME FOR CURING AND STORING HAY, to the vines, and loss of pods.To obviate this difficulty, the station bulletin -describes and illustrates a stack frame for curing and storing the pea vines.The construction is easily explained by the picture.Two poles are driven into the ground the desired length apart.To these five horizontal planks are spiked, as shown in the figure, and at each end two 2 by 4 strips are nailed for supports.In filling the stack the men begin at the bottom and throw in hay enough to fill up tothe topof the first plank.Rails or poles are then laid along from one end to the other so as to form a second floor, More hay is put on this, then more rails or poles, and 80 on until the stack is completed.It may be carried up to any convenient height, fod practically affords a series of shelves, which at the station were 10 feet wide and 2 feet high, in which the hay was stored, and cured in the shade.The whole may be covered with straw, a tarpaulin ora movable roof of boards.The result is that the vines cure perfectly, as there are ample ventilation and uo chance for the hay to spoil.In taking ont the hay we are told to begin with the lower floor and take out from the bottom, thus leaving the top for protection till the last.In the experiment described the vines were cut in the morning after the dew was off and allowed to lle on the ground and wilt until the next morning.They were then raked up and hduled to the stack frame and stacked in the manner described.Straw was then -thrown smoothly over the top to turn rain.No pods or leaves were lost during \u2018the handling of the vines, and leaves Were only slightly wilted, and if the rain had fallen on the hay before it was stacked no damage would have been done to it.This plan can hardly fail to receive attention by farmers who want hay with that peculiar green color that is only found in shade cured bay.Dwarf Lima Beans.The dwarf or bush forms of the lima beans are as a class valuable acquisitions to the vegetable garden.Professor Bailey of the Cornell station says that they belong to two distinct species\u2014 Phaseolus lunatus and P.multiflorua.The single variety derived from the latter species\u2014the burteldes\u2014seems to have little to recommend it for cultivation in New York.The dwarf offspring of Phaseolus lunatus are of three general types: 1.The Sieva dwarfs, which are the earliest and most productive and of which the most serviceable variety appears to be the Henderson; 8.The potato lima dwarfs, represented by the Thorburn or Dreer, which is of the highest quality and in all ways desirable; 8.The large lima dwarf, the Bur- pee, which has been the leading single variety upon our own grounds on account of the large size and high quality of its beans, and it is evidently as well adapted to general fleld culture as the earlier or smaller seeded varieties.All these dwarf limas\u2014Henderson, Jackson, Thorburn and Burpee\u2014are worth growing either for bome or market.Protection of Shads Trees.From the New Jersey station comes the recommendation to spray with london purple, paris green or arsenate of lead for the elm leaf beetle, an application to be made when the beetles are first noticed, a second when the larvæ begin to hatch aud a third ten days later.The only remedy available against the wood leopard moth appears to be cutting down and burning all infested trees and branches or pouring a few drops of bisulphide in the burrows and olosing the opening with putty.It is recommended that the egg masses of the tussock moth be removed from the trees during the winter and burned, and that the caterpillars be sprayed in June with some one of the arsenites.flapporte Fer Tomate Fiante.American Gardening furnishes a sketch which shows how wire poultry petting of 8 inch mesh can be used to advantage among tomato

A CHAIR OF AMERICAN HISTORY AT BARNARD.Rev, Anne thew en Buftrege.In an interview with Anna Howard Women Whe Play Felier\u2014Rev.Anse Shaw fhaw, D.D., published in the Denver on Buffrage\u2014Wemen In Pelitics\u2014Wem- an's Advent In Cornell\u2014Sonthorn Wouw- en and Bieyoles\u2014Horcais\u2019 Vacation.To the originality of Mrs.Donald Mo- Lean, elected this season regent of the New York chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, is due the birth and development of a brilliant idea.This is nothing less than the founding a chair of American history, particularly of the colonial and Revolutionary periods, at Barnard college, the feminine annex of Columbia college.It ia the first enterprise of its kind yet entered upon by any of the patriotic orders of either men or women.Mrs.McLean, author of this notable movement, is the wife of the Hon.Donald MoLean, former general appraiser of the port of New York, and is a daughter of the late Judge John Ritchie of the ment in favor of suffrage.On the prospect for suffrage in the east, Dr.Shaw 8: \u201cIt is otrong enough in any northern for the partisan attitude of the political parties.Each party is afraid to take is up, and each is afruid that if the other does take it up they will gain some advantage from it.The maiu reason for our defeat in Kansas last fall was, I think, the fear of the Populists, who had heard that Colorado women were all working against their party, that the same thing would happen in Kansas, \u2018\u2018\u2019The danger in New York is from the foreign element.If we could wipe out New York city until after the eleo- tion, I think we could carry the state without doubt.It is a remarkable fact that in the districts where ignorance and vice are the strongest the vote against suffrage is the heaviest.The public work into which the women have entered in so many directions and in euch a worlonanlike manner, the interest women are showing in municipal reform, and the beneficial results of their connection with it\u2014all these things are paving the way, 1 think after a few more western states fall into the suffrage column there will be a perfect avalanche of sentiment in that direction.Sectional strife was formerly between the north and the south.It is now largely coming to be between east and west, and if the west enfranchises its women, do you suppose the east will allow it such an advantage?No, indeed, the east will be forced to follow suit, but it will come in last, and dear old Massachusetts, my own state, which should have been first to head the column, will bring up in the rear, Iam afraid.That is because so many of Massachusetts\u2019 young men have come west and left nobody but the old maids and old fogies behind.** Wemen In Politios, If the women are to assist the men in politica, they must do something besides jumping into the political arena.They must prepare themselves for the struggles thera.We learn from a circular issued by Barnard college that the School of Political Science of Columbia univer- gity is now open to women, who are free to take the graduate conrses in political history, economics and sociology.Here is an opportunity for the advancing woman politicians.In the School of Political Science they oan lay the foundations needed for the high stateaman- ship which ought to characterize all government.Thus far, there is not any woman among the professors in the school, but we must presume that this MRS.DONALD M'LEAN.Maryland court of appeals, à man famed beyond the limits of his state for his powers of oratory, bis integrity, legal knowledge and keen intellect.Born in Frederick, Md., the town of Barbara Frietchie, Mrs.McLean first saw the light of day in the state's most celebrated house, Prospect Hall, the home of her grandfather, the late Judge Willinn Pinkney Maulsby.Itis a mansion built by the famous Dulaney family in old colonial times.Mra.McLean was born in the haunted room, in which tradition chrouicles the walling up of a young girl because of a romantic love affair, Mrs.McLean is characterized by broadly liberal tenets in all directions, is an earnest worker in church and public affairs.The founding of a chair of American history at Barnard college by the New York city chapter of the Revolutionary society, under Mrs Mc- Lean's regency, has set an example in practical patriotism for all like societies to pattern after.The other chapters of the Revolutionary association, located in every state and territory in the Union, have experienced an awakening in contemplating the weighty step taken by their sister chapter; a step which illustrates its own aims and principles and those of the parent association, the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.Such historical advantages are needed all over the land, and that the opportunity for such knowledge should first be made possible in New York, and by the feminine descendants of Revolutionary patriots, in the sister institution of old King's college, makes the event & more happy and fitting one than it could have been without such associations.The work is being sustained at present by an amount raised annually, while the endowment fund is being accumulated for the future permanent historical profees- orship.quick induction, broad reasoning, olear analysis and generous sympathy of womanhood ought not to be excluded from the faculty.The ideas of man in political science are apt to be hard and narrow and se The many womeu's politioal olubs now in existence must also be of use ta woman politicians by familiarising them with the leading public questions of the times.Both Mayor Strong of this city and Mayor Schieren of Brooklyu seem disposed to favor the appointment.of some women to those public offices to which, in the opinion of these two mayors, they are adapted.Both of them seem to be- Meve that women are better fitted for service on school boards than for any other branch of the municipal service, sud they have begun to follow up their belief, which is of the nature of the old belief that women are concerned only with children.This may do for a beginning, but woman's Poe does not end at the schoolhouse.If, for example, we have s woman in New York who would make a better mayor than William L.Strong, we doubt whether Mayor Strong can prove that she should not be slected to the office.\u2014New York Sau.Woman's Advent In Cornell, Thealumni of Cornell university have nominated Miss Mary Carey Thomas for one of the trustees.This is

Wesship.Thole Little Settlement the Beone af Many Crimes.The recent and crimes in the Amish settlement a few miles porthwest of Toledo have attracted the attention of the authorities of two or three counties, and have been a source of comment all over the state.The Amish sect is a peculiar and exclusive class of people, who worship privately according to their own belief, and, no matter how great a grievance they may have against individual or corporation, it in one of their fundamental principles never, under any circumstances, to go into court.They refuse to obey summonses and will not testify under any conditions Should a member of à family be murdered the remaining members of that family or any of the sect, for that matter, will not enter complaint, nor will they testify, uo matter how great pressure is brought to bear.That section of country has during the last few months been the location of several mysterious crimes.Four masked men entered the house of one of them some three mouths ago, and by threats and horrible torture inflioted upon the man and his wife, as well as threats against the children, secured several thousand dollars and escaped.Although it wus believed that the crime was committed by Jooal parties, and that the family knew who the oulprits were, they refused to make any complaint or give any information that would lead to the apprehension of the criminals, These people seem to have au abundance of everything in the way of property and are excellent farmers, although they refuse to adopt any of the improved machinery in vogue in this age of the world.Thoy continue to use the sickle, poythe, flail and the old fash- joned beam plows.Their harness, clothing, etc, are all hand made, and their general simplicity brings them into ridi- onle.During the last few months two or three farmers, not connected with the Amish people, have mysteriously disappeared from the community.The people around that part of the state have become very suspicious of their sanctified a) and creeds, and no little talk has been indulged in in the way of threats.They have been sub- to merciless torments.Their crops ve been ruined, fences bunaii, uten- ails hroken, stock stolen and.many other indignities heaped upon them.Joel Handst was only à fow days ago taken from his home Ly several men dressed as White Caps aud subjected to torture, one of his ears being out off and the other slit.He never murmured or complained, but deolares he will permit the matter to rest with his Maker.It has since been learned that a crowd of these White Caps took a man Henry Anker ous into the woods a few nights ago, and, after tying him seoure- ly ta » tree, flayed him nearly to death with withes.Que night last week several masked marauders weut to the home of

H.Winter.\u2014The plaintiff sued the defendant to compel him to eign a deed of sale of land situated ut Ormstown, in con- forinity to agreement between them on the 12th November, 1892.The defendant pleaded that the contract which he was asked to sign was not in conformity to the agreement between him and the plaintiff.The court maintained the plea and the defendant brings the case into review.The plaintiff received in cash at the time of the agreement a sum of $100 and the balance of the price viz, $1,500, was to be paid on the 31st December following, thedate fixed for signing the contract: the contract to contain clause of warranty against all troubles and hindrances wbatso- ever.On the 31st December there were charges registered against the lot for $5,300.The registrar's certificate sets them forth as follows: \u2014W.B.Cameron, $3.000; D.Thomson, $1,200, and John Blackett, $1,100.These charges still appeared in the registry office when tbe action was instituted.The plaintiff thought he could get over the difficulty by presenting with the draft deed which he wished the defendant to sign, the discharge of Thomson for ($1,200 which hus really been paid but the payment of which does not appear in the registry office, where the mortgage was only discharged after the institotion of tue action.As to the other two hypothecary creditors, the plaintiff makes them intervene in the deed of sale to dischargetheirclaims, but ome of them, Thomson, affixes a condition to his discharge.Plain- title wife died after the agreement of 12th of November, and ns the immovable was a conquet of the community the defendant was authorised by the draft deed to retain in his bands the sum of $1,000, representing the rights of two of plaiatifi's children ubsent from the country.Thomson agrees to discharge bis claim on condition this claim Le paid to bimself.The defendant objects in the fret place to keep indefi- nately so large a partol tbe price which be is ready to pay in cash according to agreement, und further because the discharge is not also- lute but conditional.He bas a right to aclear title and insists on bis right.It appears in the case that the intention of the defendant was to divide the land up into lots, and K is enny to understand Low import- ast it is that the title be atmolutely clear and free from all charges.The court below held that the draft deed presented to the defendant was not le conformity to the writing of the 15th November, snd the judgment is well founded.The plaintiff was bound to present on the 31st Decem- der a deod in conformity to the writ- lag.Wien that day bad passed the dolendant was freed from Lis obliga.ten.No sush deed was presented, ond the plaiotil had no netion oguiast bie to compel bim to sign the dood of sole when tbe present cas was lestitated.The judgment fa, Sharviore, confirmed.DVERTISEMENTS for the Glfaner must he handed in not later, n Weduredny afternoon.No Une dr v- ing them on

\u2019rince Edward Island, speak on some of the political issues of the doy from a Liberal point of view.John Craik was chosen chairman of the meeting.Mr Davies was accompanied hy J.Scriver, M.P., who in introducing Mr Davies to the meeting, congratulated himself upon being instromental in enabling his constituents in the eastern part of the county to listen to addresses of men #0 distinguished in Canadian political life, and an noted as speakers, both on the floor of parliament nnd on the platform, as the Hon.Mr Davies and the Hon.Mr Fraser.Mr Scriver, after having spoken briefly upon the injury and ivjustice which had been inflicted upon the farmers of the Dominion, especially by the National Policy, was followed by Mr.Davies in a speech of rare eloquence and power.Though Mr Davies spoke at considerable length in de- vunciation of the evil and wrong caused to the country by the existing fiscal system, and of the corruption, which, ns one of the unavoidable results of such a system, had, of late, especially, almost * run riot\u201d in this fuir land of ours, he commanded the undivided and close attention of his lienrers to the close of his earnest and forcible address.A vote of \"thanks to the spenkera of theevening moved by the Rev.Mr Brown, pastor of the Franklin Centre Congregational church, and seconded by Daniel Parham.Esq., was received and carried with great heartiness and en- thusinsm.A goodly number of the ladies were present, who seemingly apprecinted and enjoyed as fully as did the sterner scx present, Mr Davies\u2019 stirring and convincing

persons assembled and listened with pleasure to an interesting programme of recitations, dialogues, &c., rendered in a highly creditable manner.At the close Lydia Montgomery and Mary Myatt presented Miss Freeland, in the name of the school, with one dozen knives and forks, a pair of haudsome vases, and a beautiful lemonade set, accompanied with an address, expressive of respect and esteem, and also of regret at her retirement from the school.Misa Freelund made a fitting reply.In justice to Miss Freeland we must add that, at a highly representative meeting of the district last March, her re-engagement was requested by a large majority, but she resigned, much to the regret of those most interested.She has taught here successfully four years.CLYDE'S CORNERS.The annual picnic, arranged for by the county board of the Patrons of Industry, took place in George Reid's grove on Dominion day.The weather and roads left nothing to be desired, and there was a gouod turnout.The tables, which seated a hundred, were filled five times.That the ladies spread an ample and appetising repast those who partook can testify.The county presi dent, James McGibbon, called the gathering to order, and explained that D.M.Mapherson, M.L.A.for Glengarry, had been detained elsewhere.Ata meeting of the provincial board in Montreal, Mr Harper bad asked them for a statement of the principles of their order.When they bad got through informing him he said they had simply told their grievances.He (Mr McGibbon) held the patrons bad dove more than repeat grievunces.For instance, tbey had taught farmers wbat they could gain by buyiog for cash.If farmers, after being tavght that lessson, did not fullow it out, it was nut the order's fault.1f the patron members in the Ontario legislature bad not done all they wished, they bad, at least, shown the country that it was possible for members to Le independent of party, for they had voted against both the Liberals and Conservatives.The bill to probibit members acoept- log raîlway passes bad been defeated by both sides of the house uniting, but would yet curry, for it was pal pally wrong that a member should draw mileage and then not pay his fare.A similar bill bad been introduced at Ottawa by Mr Malock aad thrown out.Insonversation with of this towsship, had the great mie , a lawyer who belonged to oùr dis triet, Me Marchison, he had received a few pointers, among them that the patrons should agitate for one law, aud one code of proceduré, for the whole Dominion, on which proposal Hew would dike to her Mr Mitchell spenk.The patrons were lorabolish- ing the sennte, and he (the spesker) felt more strongly on the subject wince its recent course regarding di- vorve, which he held should be within the reach of the poor as well as the rich.The good the order of patrons had done in bringing farmers together was not fully appreciated.It brings men of all creeds and origins together in social relation to strive to improve their condition.Rev, Dr.McDonald of Dandee extolled the mpeech just listened to ; Mr McGibbon'seloquence had surprised him; he wished he had rpoken before instead ofafterhim.Heapprov- ed of the principles of the order, and hoped they would speedily add to its platform the plank of prohibition.The rev.gentleman proceeded to touch on several matters of interest to farmers, such as shade trees and silos, and warmly denounced combines, which would be suppressed by law when the government of the country passed into the bands of the patrons.He advised the order to steer clear of party politics and pled with the boys to stick to the farm.Robt.Sellar, being called on, made u few remarks.A.E.Mitchell recalled the words of the Inte Alex.Mackenzie that protection would lead to combines among manufacturers to force up prices.The result of there combines had been to force the farmers to combine in the order of patrons, and ultho many were excluded from joining the order it was a satisfaction to know that the reforms the patrons sought were of a kind that would do good to all.Among these was a u tariff for revenue and not a tariff levied to foster a few pet industries.As to one law and procedure fur the Dominion, that wasimpossible unless leginlntive union wns ndopted, which was not to be expected.Our preseut code of procedure could be improved by copying from that of our neighbors across the lines.Dr.Clouston spoke at length, from lis own experience, to show that the boy did not, asa rule, improve his prospects by leaving the farm to enter a profession.Andrew Philps cautioned the farmers againat the fair talk of thosethey bad listened to, who would squeeze them when they got a chance.He bighly approved of the order of patrons and would like to see it extended all over the district.The farmers were the backbone of the country and if they organized there was nothing to hinder them getting the government into their hands.M.W.Lechy, county secretary, referred to the exhibits at the Columbian exhibition as proof of what the Canadian farmer could do.While his lot may have improved in some respects, be was sorry to say the Canadian farmer was not financially in as good a position as he was 20 years ago.Money was scarcer, due to indirect taxation and extravagance by the government.The patrons favored the abolition of the senate and taking steps to end the combines of organised capitalists.As evidence of how manufacturers controlled the government, he instanced the late revised tariff.As at firetintroduced, it wns objectionable to the manufacturers, who sent deputations to Ottawa, who threatened, unless changes were made to suit them, \u201c Down goes your shanty.\u201d Foster had to yield and the tariff was chauged.Limited protection was good, but when it leads to monopoly itis not.He referred to the revision of the voters'lists, costiug $980,000, us an amount that might have been euved, and said that the patrous of this province would urge the reduction of indemuity to members from $800 a session to $0600.When a move wus made to do that, he was pleased to see Mr Stephens voted for it.When 8ir Richard Cartwright wus flusnce minister he had Leen dubbed Ly Lis opponents as * the Kuight of deficits \u201d but the Conservatives had long since outwinded bim in creating deficits, so that now a third of the revenue goes to pay interest on public debit, Newfoundland had become financially embarrassed and wus angry because the Mother Country bad vot come as liberally to her assistance as she expected.That was unrensonable; Britain had no more right to belp Newionndiand than a father to pay his spendtbrift son's debts.Quebec was fast going as Newfoundland had gone.The pass question would come up until remedied.Ho did not believe ia our members riding free like panpérs.As to the courts, he favored raising the limit of the circuit courtsto $800 or $1000.It \u2018was the same judge at Huntingdon as Beauharnoie, and he could uof see why hundreds of witnesses should be drogged to Benulwroois when they could more easily give their evidence at Huntingdon.The speaker closes with referring to-the Letter understanding the order of patrons Lad been the means of bringing about among farmers.* The Chairman appealed to farmers to unite with their order, which, he suid, had been waning somewhat.Three cheers for the Queen closed this part of the proceedings, when the games began with a tug of war between the married und unmarried, resulting in a victory for the old fellows.CAZAVILLE.On Friday, 25th June, the scholars of No 4 district, known as the Red school-house, held a very enjoyable picnic in Mr Donald McLean's beautiful maple grove.The day was all that could Le desired, and certainly the youngsters enjoyed the occasion very much, The ladies lost nothing of their former reputation in getting up a splendid dinner; to which ample justice was done by all present.The scholars then took to the fields and woods in search of wild flowers and plauts, the one who got the largest variety to receive a prize from the teacher, Misa Moe, After searching for three-quarters of an hour they came trotting back, each carrying an armful of the floral productions of nature.The prize - winner was Janet C.McNicol, a bright young maiden of 12 years, her collection consisting of no less thun 113 varie: ties.DEWITTVILLE.At the closing of achool district No 1, Fertile vall-y, Hinchinbrook.prizes were awarded by the teacher to tle pupils having the largest number

address, to which Misa Ross replied suitably.VALLEYFIELD.Dominion day was a general success both with the V.A.A.and St.Jean Baptiste society, who opened their new garnen, a beautiful grove, bought

barns.The chief sent out alarm after alarm and soon saw that the fire was beyond control.Help from Sister Cities.He wired across the bay to Oakland and Alameda, and each of the sister cities sent two engines.They were located along the waterfront, and used as pumps to eupply water from the bay.The Southern Pacific pumps had lines of hose connected, and did good service in bringing salt water to supply the fast weakening fresh water mains.A strong wind was blowing from the west, and fanned the flames acruas the broad streets, sweeping everything in its th.pe A Wall Steps the Sweep of Flames.At 9.45 o'clock the fire was under control.The high brick wall of the de- sertod Southern Pacific offices at Fourth and Townsend streets acted us a barrier, over which the flames could not

threatening manner.At 11.80 just when it soemed as if the fire had been subdued, for tho flames had died down, one of the side walls of the McDonald building gave way, almost without warning, and fell outward, just where there was a long lino of firemen at work.The crowd shrieked with horror, and the other firemen turned their attention from the burning building to the ruins which covered so many

auvelling of à monuments to the la\u2018e Sir John Macdonald.The day was a grand one.The blue sky and the green carth nade a sharp contrast to the thousand redcoats that were mobilized on Parlia- wens hill at the hour of noon.The Royal Scots of Montreal, with the mounted and unmounted soldiers of Ottawa, formed the sides of a square, in front of the Parliament bullding.A salute of uipetesn guns was fired at noon by the local field battery, then a mighty cheor went forth from the throats of thousands of citisons and soldiers.On the plat form were assembled the speakers of the day and many distingished guocsts.Sir Mackenzie Bowell, Sir Adolphe Caron, Mr.Foster, Mr.Angers, Mr.Daly, Mr.Dickey and Mr.Montague occupled prominent positions.With them were the Lieutenant Governors of Ontario, Nova Scotia, and Prince Kdward Island, Chief Justice Strong, Speaker White and many members of both houses of Parllanient.The Premier spoke of Sir John Mao- donald\u2019s loyal devotion to the Crown and his constant care for the interests of the British Kmpire.The honors showered upon hl towards the close of his life fully attested that his loyalty was fully appreciated.Mr.Arthur Weir, of Mon- trea), rend a poom composed for the ec- casion, Sir Adolphe Caron.said that Sir John Macdonald\u2019s life was a great example, His example wasa noble one; and grent examples constitute the lessons which help to form good citizens and statesmen to serve their country.Sir John\u2019s life ls the history of Canada.Liout.-Governor Kirkpatrick of Ontario, Liout.-Governor Daly of Nova Scotia and Licut.-Governor Howlan of Prince Fdward I:land also spoke in warm terms of the late Premier.The Lieut.-Govern- or of Quebec could not attend having an engagement of a similar character in Montreal.His Fxcellency, the Governor-General owlng to arangements made some time ngo, could not attend.He sent the following telegrem : To the Hon.Sir Mackenzie Bowell, Ottawa, June 30, '05\u2014Allow me to offer ny best wishes on the auspicious occasion of the unveiling of the memorial of Sir John Macdonald.It is not many wocks since I had the pleasure of traveling with you to Montreal to take part in the unveiling of another memorial to the same groat man, and I greatly regret that, owing to arrangemonts made before I learned of the proceedings of Monday, I am not to be present on this occasion.Obviouslwin no place could such a monument bo more appropriately erected than in the official capital of Canada, nor could tho insugural ceremuny be held un a more opportune day than that on which wo commemorste the formation of the Dominion.The memory of Sir John Macdonald bas & socure and a cherished placo in tho hearts of his countrymen, and it is well that by these public monuments future generations may be remind- od or taught of Lis caroer, bis services, and the patriotic sentiments by which he wus Inspired and actuated.Abordeen.\u2019 2- Ps BUFFALO ATTORNEY KIDNAPPED.Induced to Enter au Empty House, Then Bound and Held for Ransom, A man called on Mr.O.O.Cottle, a prominent attorney of Buffalo on Tuesday morning, and on the promise of buyinga plece of property, induced him to enter a carriage.le was taken to an empty house,gnd on entering they were met by a third party.Mr.Cottle was thrown down the collar stairs, then gagged, manacles were put upon his ankles and a stiff leather collar put around his neck from which a chain was attached to a post.After being held in this position for several hours his captors appeared with a written pequest to Mrs.Cottle for him to sign.Said document declaring that he was arrested at Niagara Falls on a trivial charge, but that she must give the bearer £5,000 in cash at once.Mrs.Cottle signed the document and while one man kept guard over him the other left to get the money.Mrs.Cottle was somewhat astonished and alarmed, but started out to obtain the desired funds.Her son coming in before sho had succceded in gathering together the desired amount suspected something was wrong and said he would go to Niagara Falls with the man and sce his father.The man consented but before the son had time to jump into the buggy, he whipped up his horse and was ff.oft, Tn the meantime Mr.Cottle was having a hard time of 1t.His hands were unloosed and he was given some crackers and water.After his guard had care fully examined all doors and windows t« see that they were secure, he left hi: prisoner.Mr.Cottle found that he coul reach his knife in his vest pocket Obtaining this he, after an hour's worl succeeded in outting through the leathe: collar on bis neck.Then after anothc: hour\u2019s work the manacles wero releascd from his ankles, On going upstairs he found overy door and window securely fastened, He soon however succeeded in making himself heard and was released by the police.The principal of tho conspirators was a man who had entrusted Cottle with a sum said to reach $17,000.For this great foo the lawyer was to obtain for him a pardon of a crime he had committed in the United States, and to avoid punishment for which be had Sed tu Canada.This man\u2014John C.Emery\u2014was not pardoned.For his cash he received no value He told Cottle that he would coms to the United States for redress.Come, sald the lawyer, and you go to prison.Enraged at being robbed, Emery concocted a plan for revenge.With a confederate, George Allen by name, he went to Buffalo, rented the house at No.2 Bayues street, enticed Cottle thither, put him in chains, and then demanded from the Cottle family the money that he be.lioved to be hisown, or else the lifo of the man who had taken it from him.It was a bold game, and a bluff one flo did not dare, it is to be assumed, to harm Cottlo, But what to the law was a felony, was, to this desperate exile, nothing morally wrong.He played strong and well and won.Five thousand dollars in hard cash was his reward, and off he went, as hard for the police to follow as a butterfly iu s whirlwind pété Thirty thousand dollars have already been subscribed for the projected season of grand opers in Fhiladelp is next win- tor, under the direction Gustav Hin-

grown from $06,046,000 in 1867 to $306, 948,000 in the present year.The growth of taxation had been excessive compared with the growth of population.Mr.Daly likened the hon.gentleman to Rip Van Winkie Soaie al ztren years ago the hon.gentleman had presided fora few months over the Department of the Interior, and concluded that the dopart- mong had not progressed since then.The statements and arguments of the hon.gontjoman contradicted the policy of the Government of which be was a member.In Ontario there were now only three Indien superintendents, whereas in the bon.gentleman's term of office there were five.In a like manier the numuer of other Indian officials in other provinces bad been reduced or remained stationary.The condition of the Indians in the provinces in 1876 and in 1904 was compared, showing a vast advance in prosperity in the latter year.He called the hon gentleman's attention to the fact that whercas the expenditure upon Indians in British Columbia In 1878 was 047.467, or 08.74 per head, it was now only 04 60 per head.In conclusion he had proved that the cost to-day for managing the Indians in the North West and British Columbia waa loss than in 1678 In furnishing the Indians with implements, farm instructors, and oxen the department was only carrying out the policy enunciated by the hon.gontleman bimeolf in 1878, and the expenditure upon the Indian schools was but pursuing the suggestion of Mr.Van Koughuet, embodied in a report In 1878 and laid on the table by the hon.geutle.man himself.In other respects tho depars- went was carrying out the policies Ine augurated under the Mackonise Regime, and more tham that, any Government, Reform or Conservative, was bound to continue these policies - Militis Department.Mr.Macdonald (Huron) desired to condemn the blundering administration of the Militia Department, which sucoseded not only in spending money, but sccom- plished no satisfactory result.He oou- tendod that instruction to the militia was belng parted by men who were Incapable of performing the duty.The expenditure on legislation, the mounted police, public works, superannuation, and immigration, aud quarantine was in oxcess of

the Thousand islands, about six miles east of Gananoque, was sold on July Sth, 1804, to Alexander Ferugson for 8000.Bichep Gravel's Letter, Mr.Foster, in answer to Mr.Hughes, said the attention of the Government had not been drawn to the recently published communtostion of Bishop Gravel, of Nicolet.It was not the intention of the Canadian Govenrment to direct the attention of the Government of Great Britain and Ireland to the communication, neither did the Government propose ascertain how far Bishop Gravel, the sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith, and Cardinal Vaughan were successful in their endeavor to improper: ly influence the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council of Great Britain and Ireland.Selsure of Sealers.Mr.Davies directed the attention of the Government to the soisures of Cana- dinn sealing vessels in Behring Sea by the Russian authorities in 1808.He had been informed that the loss to the owners ronched at least §/),0000.Sir Charles H.Tu sald the circumstances were famil to bim and very distressing.The seisure bore heavily on the sealers, who had contravened nn law.An investigation by a commission, sp- pointed by the Russian Government, had cleared four of the vessels, there not being sufficient evidence in thelr opinion to warrant the retention of the vessels.Finding that the British Governiuent was denling with the seal fisheries bill recent.iy.so far as Russian waters were conoern- ed., the Canadian Goverminent hastened to press upon that Government their views that no concessions should be mado to Russis under the circumstances, unless tbore was reason to believe that some conclusion would be peachied respecting the wttlomont of these claims for damages.Negotiations wepe Bow proceeding FENDERS WANTED.Tenders will be regeived,

South Shore Rallway was the first in the field, and the first 10 secure à subsidy, and therefore should he allowed to proved with the construction of a railway from Yarmouth to Shelburne unmolested, Sir Charles H.Tupper sald the evi- \u2018ence would ssem to warrant the statement that the Coast Line or narrow gauge rallway was » politionl rallway.and thay those interested in it were furthering the petty party motives of the Nove BSootia Government.True, the Dominion had been committed to the South Shore milway to the extent of grauting it a subsidy, bus what the Gov- erument desired to see was the construo- \"lon of a standard gauge railway.South Shere Ratiwav.Mr.Cameron continued the debate in regard to the South Shore railway, and argued in favor of the Dominion and Novas Scotian Government combining to suppors the undertaking.Mr.Molsanc ountsnded that the South Shore Railway Company was regarded in Nova SHootis as dead when the Coast Lite Company was chartered by the Logisia- ture.Mr.Borden condemned the Government for proposing to sacrifice the Coast Line Company which had shown its goud faith and its ability to construct shis Mr.Ksulbach moved the adjournment of the

correspondence had been placed in the hands of the Department of Justice, but it was only falr to state on Mr.Ogiivie'e bohalf that he entered an objection to the payment by hiniself on account of some question connected with the goueral distribution of receipts.25.Louls Case.Mr.M'Mullen called attention to the postponement of the Ht.louis case in the Kxchequer Court, and askod whether this had been dono at the Instance of the Government, Sir Charles H.Tupper sald the case had probably been adjournud to enable the judge to kvep other appointments un his circuit.The counsel for the Crown had neither requested nor obtained special in structions in the case.Public Bulldings, On the item of $5,000 fur the Marysville public huilding, sir Richard Cartwright enquired what the amount was intended to make pro- vison for, Mr Oulmet sald it was towards a builld- ing that would cust about $7,000.Stir Richard Cartwright sald there was no moro useless waste of money than to stud these little \u2018\u201ctwo-penny villages with public bulldinga'\u2019 Kvery one of those would require a carotaker, and would involve an annual expenditure of from $1,400 to $2,000 whereas 8150 would be really sufficient to provide ample postal facilitios.This was direct bribery, pure and simple.Mr.Foster replied that this was an ex- ceptioual case.There waa an unique state of affairs at Marysville.One of the largest cotton mills in the country was located there, alse a lumber imlil aud à brick yard.The population was about , 000, Toronto Harbour, Mr.Mulock, on the item of $40,000 for the Toronto harbour, asked what were the terms of contract.Mr.Oulmet sald the contract had been given to Messrs.Cleveland and Murray, and was arranged according to a schedule of prices.The nature of the work was excavation and flling with stone for a foundation, and above this a crib-work and a double row of jetties work at the castern end of the harbor, The channel would be made fifteen or sixteen feet deep.The structure would be solid, and last for yoars.Mr.Maclean (York) ssid the worz was justifying itself every day.It had boen tho means of reducing the time of steamers across the lake, and preserved the Island, one of Toronto's best assets.The tom was carried.After several other items were carried, thie cum mittee rose and reported progress.RUN INTO BY A TRAIN.The Oceupants ef

anact of unselfish devotion that no pecuniary remuneration, were such possible, could ever repay.Were] an artist I might paint Biddy, so vividly, even after the lapse of yenrs, does Ler face and figure stand out before me amidet all the pictures of long ago, & face and figure in no ways remarkable, and only held in its place on memory\u2019s walls by the cords of childish associations, as ineffaceable as all such recollections are wont to be.Lacking the artist's gift, let this simple sketch be my tribute to an Irish girl's self-sacrificing devotion.As 1 think of her, the vision ofa large old-fushioued kitchen rises clearly before me, and there, by the dim light of a tallow candle and the more brilliant glare of the kitchen fire, is revealed the form and familiar lineaments of Biddy, the presiding geuius of the place.In figure, spare and lean, a small, thin face lit wp by o pair of shrewd yet kindly blue-grey eyes, sandy hair, and an expression about the firmly-closed thin lipe not exactly indicative of evenness of teinper.In fact this was the one characteristic of Biddy that was apt to be uncertain, especially on washing days; and on such occasions we children (there were four of us,) understood by intuition, aided by experience, that it was best to make ourselves scarce, and ventured not near her domains.But usually between the hours of \u201cdaylight and dark,\u201d we loved to assemble in the kitchen to play about and watch Biddy's operations as she passed to und fro from table to stove; busy, oftentimes, preparing and melting the tallow, to be converted into more dips like the solitary one that illumined.or rather made darkness visible, in our kitchen; for in those days coal oil lamps were a rarity, and a luxury only to be used in the dining-room or parlor of farm houses.Biddy on such occasions, above mentioned, would, if she happened to be in a particularly good humor, often favor us with a weird tale or two, or sometimes sing us a song in the rich brogue of her native land, the accent lending an additional flavor to the thrilling romance, which was always sure to be the theme of these ballads.In fact Biddy gave me my first les- -| sous in the art of singing, and so faithfully did I follow her instruc tions, that the first song I ever remember singing was, my friends declared, an exact imitation of Biddy\u2019s accent, gestures, and peculiar Hibernian pronunciation.This song.\u201cThe dark-eyed Gipsy,\u201d the refrain of which was sung thus by Biddy's pupil: \u201cQh, why did ye lave yere castle halls, Oh, why did yelnve yere childer three, Oh, why did ye lave yere own wedded To oie the dark-eyed Gipsy oh?\u201d Produced so great an effect upon my youthful imagination, that my sympathies were altogether enlisted upon the side of the fair lady and her gipsy admirer.Aod I remember thinking.that were I in her place the claims of wedded lord or childer three, would bave been as a feather-weight in the scale against the swarthy fascinations of that dark-eyed gipsy, and tbe charm of sharing his free and wandering existence would havequite reconciled me to the loss of any nam- berof castle bails.But I was young, scarcely seven, and the pathos of the ditty was considerably stronger than its moral.But to return to that evening when, had it not been for Biddy, a bloody and tragical end would have been the fate of one amidst our little group.It wus just about duek and we three children were trying our best to amuse the youngest, a fuir-haired, blue-eyed little boy of one or two years old, but in spite of all our efforts and Biddy\u2019s \u201cWhisht, na, whisht na, childer.Be aisy now, Masther Harry, me behoy,\u201d he still continued to fret and cry, resisting all attempts to eitber pacily or entertain him.\u2018\u201cAr- ral now,\u201d at last ejaculated Biddy, out of all patience, *if we had one of thim little pigs beyant at the barn; sure their mother has left them, the unnateral baste, and there they be squakiog and screeching all the day long.Sure if we bad one or two of thim here now, maybe it would plaise the chilt and make him hold his whisht till I put the rist of this grase in the moulds.\u201d 80 spake Biddy, and we all felt this to be a brillinnt inspiration and eagerly agreed to go and fetch the little pige, Benny, Biddy\u2019s favorite, aged five, taking the lantern, whilst my sister and my- sell, a few years older, were to carry the pigs.It was now nearly dark, but by the light of the lantern we could see our way quite well to the barnyard.Once there we soon found the objects of our quest all huddled together in the straw, siz or seven Kittle black and white beauties.Wo easily caught two and were proceed- fog on our way back to the house, amidet a good deal of laughing and talking between ourselves and much squealing and squeaking from the captured pigs, and bad just reached the Sagutones la front of the kitohon {fs
