in fact he expressed his views so strongly that the person who was collecting money for tho organ when it was at last decided to have it, did not venture to call upon the old Quaker for any subscription.He \u201cmet him on the street one day, however, and was agreeably surprised when the old man took out a substantial looking wallet and presented him with a most generous sum to add to his collection.Why,\" stammered the young man.\u201cI\u2014I am greatly obliged, sir, but I hardly thought you would care to be asked to contribute.\u201d \u201cMy son,\u201d said the Quaker, with a suspicion of a twinkle in his serious eyes, \u201cif thee will worship the Lord by machinery, I would like thee to have a first-rate instrument.\u201d This is How They Rise.A young woman recently found employment in a queensware store.She immediately began a course of study in her leisure moments, upon glassware and china.She then read some recent works upon the appointments of the table, and in a short time, by applying herself to business, became the most valued employe in a large store, In & millinery establishment, the young woman who found time for reading a book or two on colors and their harmonious combinations found her own teste greatly improved and her ability to please patrons much greater.She was soon a favorite with the employers and customers.The young woman who, to earn an honorable living, went into my lady's kitchen, and, instead of gossiping every evening, found time to read a few good books and household papers, was soon too valuable a housekeeper to be kept in the kitchen.She knew how a table should look for a formal dinner; she knew how to serve a dinner in its proper course ; and more than that, she knew something about the food value of different dishes.Of course this sounds like an old- fashioned Sunday-school book, but the fact still remains that there is always \u201croom at the top.\u201d A [fair average of good sense and a proper amount of application will accomplish everything.\u2014 Womankind.eee The Brutal Turk.Mrs Julia Ward Howe has written a scathing reply to Mr.F, Hopkinson Smith's flattering indorsement of the Turks, in which she quotes.figures to prove that in the last seventy-five years more than 100,000 Christians have been massacred by Turkish mobs.She concludes with this remark: **An empire in which these things are chronic and apparently incurable isan anachronism in the nineteenth century and a disgrace to civilisation, To abolish Turkish misrule is the plain and urgent duty of civ ilized nations, and the speediest way of doing it will be the most merciful.\u201d An Agricultural Peer.The Earl of Winchilsea is best known to the English public by the great interest he takes in matters agricultural.His interest in birds has led him to make many expeditions, some of which have extended as far as Egypt.and to risk his life at the end of a rope many scores of times on tho west coast of Scotland.He has the finest collec tion of eagles\u2019 eggs in England.The earl is also keenly interested in pet anie mais of various kinds, and ho usd to walk about the park at his an- cestrai Haverhoime accompanied bys lioness, eee oe ee RE FOR SPRING AND SEED TIME I have just received a large stock of Seeds, including Ensilage, Field and Garden Corn, Clover of all kinds, Timothy and other Grasses, Garden Seeds in packages or by the und, trom D.M.Ferry, The Steel- riggs Seed Co., Fisher, and Ewing, also Flower Sceds.Safety Barb Wire always in stock;

that when you married bim and took his name you became one of the family, and the little trouble, the little skeleton, is not to be discussed with the members of the family in which you were born.To your sister 1t may mean nothing that some trouble has come to your husband's brother.Yuu nay tell it to her in secrecy, and it may soem of #0 little importance that she may repeat Ît to her sister-in-law and gratiually whas wan mount to be keps quiet is told sll round the neighborhood, The ars of keeping to yourself what you hear on both sides of the house in one that you must cultivate, for I$ means the keeping of peace.Surely, you would not wish to hurt your busband, and yet you will do 1¢ if you cannot keep quiet.When you enter his mother\u2019s house any thing that ie told to you In confidence must be forgoiten When you leave, unless, indeed, it le discussed with your husband, and the same rule will apply to your family.Don\u2019s imagine that every lit Je frown, every little disagreeable word is meant for you, and do not ro'all to your hushand anything unpleasant that may have happened when où were visiting as his mother's house, Think that she is your mother, too, and give her the privilege of speaking to you as your mother does.1 know ft inn°t nl ways easy to have fault found with one when one is tying to do one\u2019s bost, but think over what is said, it there is anything helpful in it.Is isin the woman's power to make or mat the sanctity of marriage by the manner tn which she acoepta its responsibilities.It is as due to the earnest endeavors of a good wife that many a husband has heen reclaimed or prevented from leading the downward path, as, unfortunately, 1s 1a that cnrelossness or indifference or neglect from the \u2018\u2018weaker baif\"\" in physical strength has weakened her power and made her intluence useless, ete\" Made in various styles from re the ordinary family to the largest hotel size.we.Are constructed in the most substan- tal manner and after the most approved patterns.ARE STRICTLY UP TO DATE IN EVERY PARTICULAR.It will pay yos to investigate the good points of these ranges before pure chasing others.A NEW VERSION.THE CHARGE OF THE BOOT BRIGADE Boots, Shocs, and Slippers;

some have failod.1 believe that, with my experience in this kind of work, 1 can tell, with conalderable suvoness, almost immodiately after organization whether & now society will succeed or fail.Before going Into this phase of my subject, however, lot mo summarize quite brivfly tho advan- tagos to bo derived from tho improvement of tho suburban and country towns and viliages.The work In a suburban placo is vasler to sut in motion and easier to acouinplish than in the country, for tho reason that a large majority of the rusidents are cither active participants in city life, or close observers of it.In action and in ambition, therefore, they fool the quickening influence of the groat movement which has founded the wonderful urban cowm- munities, and which sustains them ln their growth.I! have boon accused of exaggerating this urban influence in other writings, and it may be that I do so, but I cannot sce that I do, whether I look at the question from either extreme of my experience, which embraces both country and city life, for | live as a city man, in town six months in each year, and as a country man, six months in tho country The future prosperity of the country village depends, In & great measure, upon Its suitabllity for the summer residonce of thosc who profer, at that scñson, to lave the hot and crowded cities.A generation ago a little vacation was considered to be enough for the busiest and most prosperous of our city men; and tho families of such men stayed In town with the heads of their houses.When & longor rosi- dence was considered dosirable, and then very quickly considered necessary, families of means took up their abode in the great hotels of the various watering-places.After a decado of this, one and another of those who had learned better how to live came to the conclusion that country life was more comfortable, less ostentatious and altogether more to be desired.And so the country place became the hobby, and then the necessity, of the majority of those who in & large sense had met with material success.But the majority of those who arc well-to- do have not met with material success in the large sense-they are merely well-to-do.But we Americans are great consumers; we have the best that la within our means.When this immense well-to-do class realized that country life was the most desirable kind of summer life, their ingenuity was at once put to the test of finding how it was possible, without the impossible country establishment, which none save a man of wealth can maintain.The country village was found to be the place for them, for in & real country village\u2014not & suburban vil- lage\u2014a man and his family can be ae much In the country as though they owned a thousand acres with a stately castle on a commanding hill.And what is more, in such & village a family can have all the delights and privacies of country life at an expense which can be regulated with nice certainty and according to the size of the income.Horses may be kept or not, according to that income; the same may be sald of servants, and the scale of living gencrally properly adjusted.1 know many men who manage to have & country village home, though their means are quite limited, and I have heard the confession frequently made that less was spent in the country than in town.To take advantage of this growing taste, this taste which will surely be permanant, is the opportunity which every country village should embrace.But a village which brings to itself this kind of residents must have at- tractions\u2014attractions that are natural to begin with, and which have been taken advantage of Uy those who own own or who have owned the property.Some villages have been nO nately located that ab a first glance It would seem impossible to invest them with any degree of beauty.Bus I have secon so fow such that I am nob competont to speak of them.In my experience the surrounding country usually gives to a village such poten- uialitios of beauty that a few wise improvements of struets, sidewalks, shade trece, And so on, will work a wonder- tul change iu sestbetic vonditions.In- dead, where Nature has been prolific of her gifts the problem of improve ment Is often much more difficult, for man is dangerously apt to disfigure that which Nature has made beautiful, when he lays his hand upon is.But it is in such work that à Village Improvement soclety may be useful in a community; In such work that such an organization may confor lasting benefits upon the locality to which it belongs.A Village Improvement so- clety should be & pure democracy, and within its mombership lt should embrace every man and woman of good repute In the neighborhood, and be- sidos this there should be established an auxiliary league of children, this league should bo asked, and urged, and Instructed to assist the main society.Such societies are usually supported by fees and duce.This ie very well in a village where the ma jority of the people are quite prosperous and usually have a store of ready money at thelr disposal.But even in such places | prefer the method of supporting the society by purely voluntary subscriptions of money, labor and material.Labor is just as good as money, and is given much more frcely by all save those who are rich.Now whon one person conoludes, or two or three or more decide to embark In the enterprise of starting à Village Improvement society what le the first step to bo taken?My advice is thls: let them onter into correspondence with a person of experience In such matters, and if their means justify it, engage that porson to deliver a lecture to the people on the subject of village Improvement, and at the same time make suggestions as to the needs of particular village.This being done Jot them call a free public mocting to hear thin lecturer, and have this meeting and lecture announced In all the churches.Then they should talk up the question among the people, so- curlng, If possible, the interests of sil the leaders of public opinion.But none should be left vut, for enthusiastic assistance and wise counsel often come from the moat unexpected sources.The gossips, those who know more of their neighbors\u2019 affairs than of their own, should by no means bo omitted in this preliminary organization, for these gossips in & country neighborhood serve very much the same pur pose as the daily papers do (n the yreat cities.They should be sought and thelr habitual cynicism conciliated by flattering attentions.Then it should be arranged that some person of local distinction, and of commanding prominence in the community, gifted with readiness of speech, should call the meeting to order and Introduce the lecturer or chief speaker of the evening.Before the meeting, however, eight or ten of those who have responded most heartily to these advances should get together In a preliminary or committee meeting, and arrange as exactly ss possible the order of proceedings.Without this the first meeting, upon which very much depends, is sure to drag.At this committee meeting & simple constitution should be drafted, and committees agreed upon to nom- {nate the officers and also propose the constitution.After the lecturer is through with his remarks some one, previously agreed upon, should move the immediate formation of a Village Improvement Society, upon the lines the lecturer had suggested, aud, also, that the chair appoint & committees of three to report a constitution.This committees will be ready to report at once, and the constitution will surely be adopted.The constitution being adopted, the election of officers is in order, and 1 recommend that & constitution should provide for a president, vice-president, treasurer aud secretary, and that these officers, together with three other members, should constitute the executive committee.Upon the selection of these officers, and especie ally the president, the whole success of the society will surely depend.{TO BE CONCLUDED NEXT WERK.)

The United States is a great country, but its imports from England form only an inconsiderable part of the immense volume of British trade.Both parties in making their nominations for the presidency are much embarrassed by the silver question.In the south and west the feeling in favor of silver is strong, and should neither party nominate a candidate who favors the silver dollar, a third will be brought out on that issue.Mr LACRIER asked Sir Oliver Mowat to give up the premiership of Ontario and run for a seat in the commons, and has received an answer in a letter characterized by all the caution and shrewdness which marks the little premier.He tells Mr Laurier that he has all his sympathies and that he will assist him in the elections so far as he is able, but he considers himself unequal to the strain of contesting a constituency.What he does promise is, that should Mr Laurier be called upon pext June to form a ministry he would be willing to enter it and qualify by becoming a member of the senate, on the understanding that that body is to be reconstituted or done away with.Sir Oliver states that despite hisweight of 76 years, \u2018\u2018I am abundantly equal to my present duties, and my medical adviser tells me that if I do not take too much upon me I may look forward to years yet of active life.\u201d The prospect of Mowat becoming a member of the Ottawa government will be an inducement to thousands in Ontario to work for Laurier\u2019s success, while his active co-operation in the elections means à great deal.\u2014 LE PROGRES expresses surprise at the appointment of Dr Lussier as returning - officer for Beauharnois county.It was done, of course, to help Bergeron, but there is a sig- pificance in choosing & resident of Valleyfeld beyond that\u2014it is an indication of the coming change of the chef lieu from Beauharnois.In Cha- seaugsy the registrar has been passed over, sod Joseph Landry, N.P., appointed.For Huntingdon, Mr Bruce, the registrar, is returning-officer.Fon St Antoine electoral division\u2014 the Eaglish-speaking section of Montreal \u2014 hitherto represented by Sir Donald Smith, two Conservatives came forward, Donald Macmaster sod the Hon J.8.Hall.On Saturday evening Sir Charles Tupper arrived $0 heal the breach, and on Sunday suscseded, not in getting the rival politicians to go to church but to reties, and allow Dr Roddick to take the position they coveted.The Liberal qondidate is Robert Mackay, one of Mentseal'o best itoun merchante.veus THE changes made by Sir Charles Tupper in forming his cabinet indicate with great plainness the course he intends to pursue in the elections so far as rogards this province, Caron and Ouimet he did not ask, and in their place we have Mr Taillon, Mr Angers, and Mr Desjardins, and sonator Ross without portfolio.The three last- named are distinguished among their fellow Quebec politicians as religious zealots\u2014Ultramontanes of the extreme type.The administration of Ross, when premier of Quebec, was so offensive that Mr Joly assailed it with a vigor he never showed before or since.Mr Desjardins had a hand in compiling the programme Catholique, which laid down as an axiom that the church Is supreme and that legislation should be subject to it.Mr Angers, by far the ablest of the three, is still remembered by the peculiar legislation he got enacted while premier of this province.When we sce Sir Charles Tupper dropping so active a partizan as Caron and so effusive an advocate ol his church as Ouimet, and take in their stead the three monumental Ultramon- tanes of the province, there can be no mistake in saying his intention is to carry Quebec by the religious cry.Had the bishops been asked to name who should represent Quebec in the cabinet, Ross, Angers, Desjardins are names they would have given.They are men in whom they have implicit trust, for from past experience they know they will do their bidding, and even go further than asked.With such representatives in his ministry, Sir Charles Tupper is, outside the cities and townships, invincible in this province, and there will be bad management indeed in conducting the campaign if his candidates do not sweep the parishes.The Liberals of the rest of the Dominion may delude themselves by fancying this move will amount to little, They will be undeceived when they see a government majority from Quebec equal to what Cartier used to have.Sir Charles has laid his plans for working the remedial bill for all it is worth in Quebec, and he is safe in counting on great gains.That they will be sufficient to counterbalance his losses in the other provinces time will tell.\u2018WHO will succeed Taillon as premier of the Quebec government is not known.Lieut.-governor Chapleau is at an American watering place for his health, and until he returns nothing can be done.Some say he will call on Mr Casgrain to form a new ministry, others that Mr Nantel will be the favored individual.The choice of Mr Casgrain would give general satisfaction.THE STAR was defendant in a suit, decided last week in Montreal, which brought out some points of interest to farmers along the frontier.It gave, as news, a report of the doings of a special customs officer not unknown in this section, named Curless, who had gone along the frontier of the Eastern Townships making searches in a high handed style.On its proprietor declining to retract aud pay damages, he sued the Star for 815,000.The trial took place before Judge Davidson and a special jury.At great expense, the Star brought from the Townships witnesses to substantiate the truth of its report, which was abundantly proved.The offensive bearing of the customs officer, his coarse language, his threats.and endeavors to wheedle persons who had knowingly broken no law into making admissions and paying fines, were testified to, with the result that the jury found a verdict for the Star.So long as we have customs laws they must be enforced, but it does not follow that to do so the government should let loose on the dwellers along the frontier a class of men of the type of Curless.Experience has shown that the most efficient officers are those who do their duty with civility and reasonable consideration for those they suspect.Officers greedy for fines, who show their authority in insolent forms, excite popular antipathy and it becomes a subject for exultation when they are outwitted and baffled.In charging the jury, Judge Davidson gave a wider definition of the powers of the press than we have been used to in this province.He said to the jury\u2014 You have to ask yourselves whether statements of the Star were made in the public interest.What is public interest?The proceedings of these courts; the verdicts of juries; the policy of the government; the administration of à public department, and the conduct of all public officials are mat ters of public interest and public concern, and their discussion when necessary le a matter of public interest, is à matter of public benefit.Free comment is permitted upon them\u2014far freer comment than perhaps is permissible by the law in relation to matters of private concern.For example, if the Star or any newspa were 0 declare that a private citizen was a drunkard, the law would consider the statement not only false and malicious, but as far as responsibility was concerned the truth of the statement would not be a sufficient plea.It was none of their business, but the conduct of public officers, paid out of the public purse, is essentially a matter of interest to the taxpayer, and Ît is part of the duty of à publie newspaper, not only to bl ro but to criticise that conduct close .* Srm CHARLES TUPPER has issued an address to the electors defining the policy he intends to pursue and asking thelr support at the polls.The ad- dress is commonplace In its subjects and cxceedingly tame in the spirit with which they are treated.After laying it down as a matter of course that the Conservatives, alone are worthy of confidence, herdeclares it to be his intention to maintain the N.P.intact.To let the Liberals into power would, he declares, cause a disastrous revolution in the business of the country.As a means of developing Canada\u2019s trade with Britain he favors a tariff based on mutual concessions, the establishing of a fast line of steam ships and the laying down of a telegraph cable between Vancouver and the Orient.The giving of separate schools to Manitoba he contends is required by the judgment of the highest court in the realm, and by the constitution.As proof of what has been done by the Conservatives to help the agricultural interest, he instances their establishing experimental farms, their creating a home market by the N P., and their providing railway and shipping facilities with cold storage.\u2018\u2018In short,\u201d he says, \u2018\u2018the Conservatives have left nothing undone which could assist the farmers of Canada in making the most out of their labor and skill\u2014and this course it is proposed to follow in the future.\u2019* Sir Charles then goes on to declare his intention to perfect the national defences, by the purchase of new armament and equipment and re-organizing the militia.He favors cffectual steps to promote immigration and for inducing Newfoundland to enter the union.He adds\u2014 In conclusion, I ask you to rejoice with me in viewing the high credit which Canada enjoys in the great money markets of the world.Our securities stand at the highest premium, as the direct result of prudent methods of administration and confidence in our national stability.It is of the first importance that this faith in our standing and prospects should not be disturbed by exposing the country to the revolutionary policy of the Liberal party.ORMSTOWN Mr Ashman, a Montreal auctioneer, attempted a sale of horses here on Thursday, but it was a failure.14 horses were put up, but there was only one bona fide sale, a fine 5-year old owned by George Bryson, which wag knocked down for 8100.Later in the afternoon, several horses were sold to American buyers at comparatively low prices.Factories in this section opened Monday.Butter prospects are discouraging as very low prices continue.On Arbor day many trees were planted in Ormstown cemetery.The schools were closed at noon and the scholars employed the alternoon in gathering wild flowers and fishing.Owing to Miss Spearman's illuess, Miss Bazin has charge of the primary school, Cropping has begun in this section.From Allan's Corners down farmers have nearly finished.Though we have had fine weather for 2 weeks rain is needed.Grass is well advanced.HOWICK The residents of this village were rudely roused from their sleep on Saturday about 2 o'clock in the morning by the cry of *\u2018fire,\u2019\u2019 when it was ascertained that Robert Maw's manufacturing establishment was a mass of flames before it was discovered.Mr Marshall, who happened to be driving through the village at the time, was the first to give the alarm.Mr Maw and his family awakened themselves, only to discover that his shops were doomed to destruction.The night was calm and the flames and flying cinders were carried upward and in a direction that did not imperil adjoining buildings, until the fire spread to the outbuildings and sheds, when Mr Maw\u2019s dwelling and stables caught fire and it was with great difficulty that they were saved.The main building, which consisted of a foundry, machine shop and carpentering department, all in one, is supposed to have taken fire in the machine shop, either at the steam engine Or forge, as this portion was the first to be demolished.All the machines and tools were destroyed, and a stock consisting of six sepau- ators and horse-powers, 2 land rollers, two circular wood saws, and a lot of finished wood and iron work ready to be put together.The loss to Mr Maw is not less than six thousand dollars, witbout any insurance.No light or smoke was seen about the building at midnight, although the fire must have been smouldering for some time.By the time the citizens reached the fire it was impossible to save anything even from the outbuildings, owing to the intensity of the heat, the fire having made such great progress before it was discovered.Rev Mr Gomery, Bible agent, occupied the pulpits in this vicinity on Sabbath, preaching sermons appropriate to the occasion, which were appreciated.It is expected that telephone communication will be made with the surrounding towns this summer, as the poles and wire are delivered at the G.T.depot.At the meeting of the Liberal electors of this parish to select five delegates to the convention at Ste Martine, they were instructed to vote for Mr Brown.No other name was proposed.STE MARTINE A meeting of delegates of the Liberal party took place here Tuesday afternoon, when Mr James P.Brown was unanimously chosen as their candidate for the coming eloction.Mr Narcisse Laberge presided over the meeting and Mr T.Winter of Ormstown acted as vice-president.Five delegates from each parish were present, except Orms- town, which had only three.After the nomination was made Mr Brown vas the first man to address the meeting, and, in a few words, he thanked the delegates for this mark of confidence in bim.\u2019 Mr Tarte was then introduced as the speaker of the day.He applauded the delegates for their choice, saying that Mr Brown was not a speaker, but he was a broad minded man who was most attentive in the discharge of his dutics as a member of the house of commons.Mr Tarte spoke about tariff reform and the remedial bill, and explained how he had come to leave the Conservative party after the discovery ol the McGreevy and Langevin scandals.He repeated his remarks in English, and added that everything was for sale by the late government, even criminal justice, Mr F.X.Dupuis, advocate, followed and spoke against the monopolies that burdened Canada, saying it was high time to put an end to them.Mr Jocks of Caughnawaga was the last speaker and astonished everyone present by speaking both in French and English with eloquence and facility.He said the majority of the Indian vote will be reversed this year.It had becn over forty for the government last election; this election it will be cast against them.CHATEAUGUAY The pier of the railroad bridge has not yet been brought back to its place, 80 the placing of the iron work has been stopped.The president, Doctor Webb, was here on Saturday, looking over matters in connection with the bridge and the grading.He stated the road will be completed by the end of next month.The lease from the Grand Trunk by the N.Y.C.to run over their line ends on July 1st.The price paid for running powers for one year was $100,000.Whether they may have to renew the lease for a short time it is yet hard to say.The weather and the state of the soil were favorable last week fur grading, but but very little has been done so far.They may push matters now.The steamer Chateauguay came up from Lachine Saturday night, and went on to Beauharnois.She made her first regular trip this (Monday) morning, and was the first steamer to shoot the Lachine rapids this season, The water is very high at present, being some 3 leet higher than summer level.The steamer Filgate is laid up for repairs, and will be ready about the 20th inst.VALLEYFIELD Navigation is now open, and business on the river is unusually active.From Saturday until Monday about thirty vessels passed down the canal laden with grain and coal.The Garnet made her first trip to Moutreal on Monday.The steamer Belmont is expected to go down Thursday this week.The Rocket will ply between Cornwall, Valleyfield and Montreal.Rev Dr Antliff of Montreal occupied the pulpit of the Methodist church on Sabbath, morning and evening, Monday evening he addressed a missionary gathering in the same church.Arbor day was celebrated in Valley- fleld by the planting of trees around the Presbyterian church and the dis- sentient schools.Bishop Langevin of St Boniface, Manitoba, visited Valleytield on Friday.He returned to Montreal on Saturday.The St Lawrence and Adirondack Railway company have written the parish council to the effect that, as soon as the rails and ties aré removed from the abandoned line between the Larocque road and Beauharnois junction, the parish may have the land, which they may use for a public highway or return to the farmers, as the council may determine.The first of May always brings considerable house moving in Valleyfield.This year the number of fittings were more than usual, due possibly to the increased number of dwellings built during the past year, which has lowered rents, Councillor Lalonde of the parish council has resigned, as he intends to reside in Lancaster.Onezime Leger has been appointed to succeed him.LAGUERRE Mr Saml MacLean, divinity student, has been appointed to this place for the summer.The combined cheese and butter factory commenced operations on Thursday, making butter.Owing to a slight break the scparator worked slowly Saturday and Monday, but was repaired Monday afternoon and cvery thing is now working nicely.Farmers are pleased with getting the warm skim milk for their calves.ST ANICET - Quite a large number attended expecting à meeting of council on Monday, but there was no mecting, owing to the want of a quorum.Several farmers west of Lee\u2019s corners have fenced the road which crosses their farms.As the road has been travelled for over seventy years, there are to be suits taken against them.DUNDEE 1 am sorry I disturbed the equanimity of J.& M.McNaughton by the remarks they have taken exception to.I did not mean to cast any reflections upon them, my design being to say a good word for our own township.As to their finding friends in the west, persons so genial as Mr and Mrs Mc.Naughton will find them anywhere.1 am pleased to welcome them back.Chief Joba Lewis (Nine), of St Regis, intends buying a large steam I t to be used as a ferry between \u2018ornwall and the picturesque Indian village across the river.A brass cannon, which the chief secured from the militia department, has arrived from Kingston.The Indians will use it for saluting purposes.The foregoing is from Cornwall notes in the Montreal Gasstie.The name of the chief on the pay rolls used to be John Angus, but he is generally called John Nine, as he has but nine fingers, having lost one.As to his buying a large steam yacht to run as a ferry between Cornwall and the picturesque(?) Indian village ls nonsense, for if large steam yachts were selling for $30 he couldn't raise money enough to buy one.John was asked how he was going to pay for the yacht.He replied, *\u2018The government going to give me so much, and 1 give note for balance.\" But the note will come due and what then?I give another note.The Indians have been trying to get a cannon for a good many years, and they will now be fn their glory.It will be used on all great occasions.The present ferry boat carries Indians to Cornwall for 10 cents.The Indians are very fond of law, and when any of them get into a squabble they generally come to Dundee for a warrant, One was here last week and got à warrant for another throwing stones at him and breaking some windows, so we may have a justice court this week.The same day another party was here to see about a woman who hit another when at church service.As both the parties are American Indians, the aggressor would have to be arrested when she crosses the line.For very little they invoke the aid of the law.Since I have acted as clerk in the justice of the peace court in 1869, there have been 135 cases, in 68 of these Indians were connected, generally as both complainant and respondent.Those who have the distributing of the government election matter, must think Dundee of some importance as to numbers, if the big bundles of speeches, information for electors, political reviews, &c., are any criterion to go by.Potatoes are being sold in FortCov- ington at 10 cents per bushel, eggs from 9 to 10 cents.I have seen the time when a meal of potatoes and eggs would have been a luxury, and at these prices it is not costly.I have paid at the rate of $25 a bushel for potatoes, and 25 cents each for eggs.POWERSCOURT On the morning of the 23rd April James Glennie, who lives on the 1st concession road of Elgin, went to Brown's mill to put logs into the pond leaving his wife and aged mother in the house.After dinner, young Mrs Glennie went down to Mrs Hunter's to engage in weaving, leaving the old lady in her usual health and good spirits.About one o'clock an American, who travels about cleaning clocks and mending jewelery, came to the Glennie house and saw old Mrs Glennie lying motionless in front of the door.On going to raise her, a large dog, that was lying near, prevented him.He went across to the next house, that of Wm.Crawford, when two of the inmates returned with hin, but the faithful dog would pot permit them to come near.On young Mrs Glennie being brought, he wagged his tail with satisfaction and the body was carried into the house, for the woman was dead.She had apparently died without a struggle.As she had been complaining for some time back, and owing to her advanced age, there is no doubt about death being from natural causes.BARRINGTON John English, a man of about 41, was found dead, stiff and cold, on the road near the C.A.R.station, on Friday morning, the 1st of May.Accompanied by his cousin, George Starr, he had taken a drive to Sherrington the evening before.They had a drink before going to Sherrington, and while at Brosseau\u2019s hotel there, they had four drinks of beer cach, George Starr paying for the liquor each time.A bottle of whiskey and a flask were purchased and they left the hotel a little after 10 p.m.Having arrived at the point where the English road leaves the concession, young Starr got out to walk home.He was too far gone in liquor to remember much that happened, but recalls seeing English sitting down on some small stones at the roadside, bowed forward, with his chin on his chest.He remembers noticing that the horse and buggy had started up the road.Going up to his cousin, he touched the lappels of his coat and said, \u2018\u2018Come along, Johnny, your horse is gone.\u2019 He saye he did not trouble more with his cousin but followed the horse and buggy home, a distance of a mile and a half.There he found the horse unhitched and stabled.Io then made his way home by a short cut, supposing his cousin would get home all right.It was about midnight when the mother and sister of the unfortunate man heard the horse and buggy arrive.Seeing no driver they unhitched and stabled the horse, and then Miss English with a lantern followed back the road for about half a mile but saw no sign of her brother nor of George Starr.The body was found lying on its back on the road by a section man passing to work the next morning.The {rag- ments of a broken bottle were lying amongst the stones near his feet, and where he had last been seen alive.An inquest was held on Friday evening by Dr Clouston.Dr de Mouilpiea stated that five years ago he had treated deceased for heart trouble, but had not seen him professionally for two years.Miss English said that her brother had often complained of pain about the heart.He was not ahealthy man, he was ailing off and on, but seemed better for a week belore his death and worked as usual.He was not & hard drinket, but would take a little; she had seon him showing the effects of liquor sometimes.He was not married.The jury found a ver- diet of \u201cDeath from disease of the heart, in all probability acoslerated by the liquor be had takes.\u2019 ORMSTOWN PARISH COUNCIL MET on Monday; present mayor J.McGerrigle, and councillors Smith, Graham and McNeil.Henry Winter, John McKeegan, and

Lindsay vs.George Walker.The plaintiff, about two years ago, sued the defendant for the recovery of 81100, being the principal of a mortgage and one year's interest on the same at the rate of 7 per cent.per annum.The defendant pleaded that he had paid the full amount of the debt and interest to Andrew Somerville, whom he alleged was the agent of the plaintiff.The plaintif answered this plea by alleging that on the contrary And.Somerville was the agent of the defendant, George Walker, and held a power of attorney from him.It was proved at the trial that very intimate business relations had existed between Walker and Somerville for over 25 years.His Honor maintained the pretensions of the plaintiff on every point, and condemned Walker to pay $1100 with interest at the rate of 7 per cent.from the month of May, 1894, and costs in favor of the plaintifi's attorneys, McCormick & Claxton.The only question involved in the case was that of agency.Tho defendant was represented by

parties to it were willing to have It shelved, it is that of the authenticity of MacPherson\u2019s Ossian.The doubt of later critics was not whether there ever was a mass of Ossianic poetry, but whether Mac- Pherson\u2019s book truly represented it.The sneers of Dr Johnson at the improbability of the existence of Celtic poetry of any merit have long ago been shown to be baseless by the publication, both by Irish and Highland scholars, of a mass of poetic productions that would do credit to the literature of any nation.The existence of Celtic poetry of high merit is now acknowledged and is no longer the subject of dispute; what does remain to be called in question is whether MacPherson had originals for his Ossian and whether, if he had, that he gave a faithful translation of them.Tt is this aspect of the question which Dr MacNish treats in his paper, which forms part of the transactions of the Canadian Institute.He argues with great clearness and wealth of evidence that the Ossian of MacPherson is an almost literal translation of poems that had been preserved orally and in M.S.in the Highlands of Scotland.It is singular to find a resident of Canada taking an interest in such a subject, but we doubt if in Badenoch or Lochaber there now lives a riper Celtic scholar or one more appreciative of the beauties of the Gaelic language and of the works embalmed in it, than the accomplished winister of St John\u2019s, Cornwall.Brockville, Ont., May 4.\u2014Dalton Mc- Carthy addressed a meeting in the grand opera house to-night.The chairman read an address to Mr Mc- Carthy, who replied at considerable length, beginning with a resume of the last session of parliament, and bitterly attacked Sir Charles Tupper and the composition of the present cabinet.He said Sir Charles Tupper had made a bargain with the Quebec hierarchy for the restoration of separate schools in Manitoba.Possibly the bargain was made with the Roman Catholic bishops of the whole Dominion, but he hoped not.For himself, he could not hope to be able to seize the reins of power, but hoped to get a sufficient number of followers to enable him to control the course of events.As for the Liberal candidate, Mr Cumming, Mr McCarthy said that il he had the same views as his leader, Mr Laurier, he was to be distrusted.Mr McCarthy declared that he did not distrust Mr Laurier because of his being French and Roman Catholic, but because he was for the re-cstablishment of separate schools in Manitoba.He was more than ever alarmed by the alliance between Sir Oliver Mowat and Mr Laurier.It was all very well for Mr Laurier to talk of sunny ways, and conciliation and investigation, but Manitoba had gone as far as it could in the way of offering compromise, and no sunny ways or investigation could change the existing condition.Mr Laurier was for the re-establish.ment of separate schools, and Sir Oliver Mowat and his colleagues stood with him.Mr McCarthy asked the electors not to send a Laurier man to parliament, but a McCarthyite.He complained that the Globe had not correctly reported him, and had made him saythat he wished for Mr Laurier\u2019s return.What he had said was that Mr Laurier\u2019s return was inevitable.Sir Charles Tupper would not have more than 50 to 00 members behind him in the new parliament, and he, Mr McCarthy, hoped to have a sufficient following to hold the balance of power and keep Mr Laurier straight.He devoted the closing portion of his speech to a declaration of his trade policy, which was a high tariff against the United States and a low tariff for England.He advocated the encouragement of the agricultural interests of the country.Potatoes are being purchased for 8 and 10 cents per bushel at Chateaugay depot.The latter price is for Green Mountains, the supply of which is shout exhausted hereabouts, while the former is the ruling price for ali other varieties.\u2014Record.TOPICS OF A WEEK, The Important Kvonts in à Fow Words Pag Busy

Yukon, make 8 members of the house of commons appointed to an office since tho vote on the remedial blll, and it is more than ever apparent that if offices had not been used as bribes in the majority of those casce the vote would have gone the other way.The appointment of Major Gourdeau as deputy minister of ma rice and fisheries is denounced by the officers in the department as an outrage, and the appointment of Mr Mc- Dougald of Pictou, N.B., as commissioner of customs is still worse il possible, because he knows absolutely nothing of the custom law, and is in other ways utterly

but he looks for an improvement very shortly.He does not think that early made butter will ever bring a good price in the vid country markets, but he does think it better that no early cheese be mado, as the price is low and the quality of cheese made so early injures tho reputation of Canadian goods.Mr Gigault, assistant commissioner of agriculture for tho province, with the assistance of others interested In the dairy industry, is engaged in establishing & new departure in the way of à dairy competition.Word will be sent to the cheese and butter makers only two or three days before the opening of the competition and they will have to forward their exhibits forthwith, The checse and butter will be purchased by the provincial government, which will also pay the freight charges.Prizes will be awarded by three judges nominated by the government and the dairymen\u2019s association, and the names of all the sue- cessful competitors in tho first and second classes will be published.The

Canadians in their fight for a priest of their own nationality in St James Catholic church have for the second time appealed to Cardinal Satolli.His reply was forwarded through the bishop to the priest and was read publicly at a mass to-day by Father Soquet, In the letter the cardinal says that he had taken the trouble to Inform himself of the particulars of the affair since he had last treated it and found he had nothing to add to what he wrote last year.He said their course had been far from commendable and little in keeping with their character as Catholic Christians.He concluded as follows: \u2018I only say that it is your duty now to show yourselves good Catholics, submit to the government of your bishop, attend strictly to your own affairs, return to your church as Catholics and you will find peace will follow.\u201d Leading Canadians state that they will send a delegate to Rome, in spite of the decision given above.\u2014Anthrax (black leg), one of the most

on the l\u2019ine Plains road, running from Leo's Corners to St Agnes do Dundee, when it became known that Ftlenne Leblanc, Auguste Lalonde, Alexander Lepage dit St Amard, and Ollivier Quenneville had built fences across the said road opposite their respoctive properties.The buildings of these parties are erected at the south ends of thelr lots on the road between tho 3rd and 4th ranges of St Aniect, and they consequently do not require the Plains road, which crosses their properties about half way between the north and south ends.Mesure Etienne Quesnel, John Clark, jr., Robert Bruce and Edward Currie, who aro built onthe old road and have no other means of ingross and egress, did not propose to submit to this kind of lynch law and be deprived of the ene joyment of their private and public rights, consulted D.McCormick, Esq., Q.C., who advised an arrest of all the parties implicated, charging them with creating a public nuisance, As soon as it became whispered about of the Intention of the injured parties, the fences suddenly disappeared and the guilty persons were stricken with remorse Of conscience and made due reparation, by apologleing and pay- Ing all costs and damages.It Is rumored that a respectable citizen, who had occasion to travel on the road at night, And not knowing of the obstructions, suffored scrious damages by injuring himself and his horse.Actions of damages are contemplated.-John Kelly, of Beauharnois, fishery inspector, was in the village on Friday to sue how the law was being observed.\u2014Mvrs Moir, lcssoe of the trotting-

don't understand 8 word of Russian.\u201d The old gentleman, who had seated himself on the left hand of the officer, leaned forward, and speaking for the first time said in fairly good English and with a trace of sarcasm in his bland amile: \u201cSurely the prince has not been expa- 80 long as to forget his native tongue?\u2019 \u201cI'm not a prince, and my native tongue is English,\u201d Gordon asserted utly.\u201cAb! I understand,\u201d the old gentleman responded with the same ironical blandness.\u2018\u2019You wish to plead mistaken identity.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t know what you sean.Ihave come on board to see Taras\u2014Prince Bor- gensky\u2014at his request.\u201d \u201cPardon we, I was at the head of the stairs when Count Rudersdorf invited the prince addreseing you, of course, in third person\u2014to come on board.\u201d At the name of Rudersdorf I lifted my head in surprise to look at the officer.Was this the relentless enemy\u2014the \u201cbloodhound\u201d that Kavanagh | ne to such | hs to outwit\u2014this polite, mille aged.not unmerciful, certainly not ferocious looking man?\u201cWhat on earth does this mean?\u201d mec Cordon, turning to se ren no response, he a officer: \u2018Will you answer me one ques tion, please?Is Taras on is vessel?\u201d \u201cIf you are not Taras, he certainly is not,\u201d was the direct reply.\u201cThen I am not Taras.Thers is no Decessity to stay here any longer.\u201d He turned as if to go.In that instant orf touched a gong and slip; his hand into the holster.Almost sin- ultaneously the two burly fellows who had followed us to the cabin stepped in and stationed selves before the door, each armed with a revolver.Gordon ped abraptiy.\u201cPardon ine,\u201d said the elderly gentleman as if nothing had occurred to break the thread of the discnssion, \u2018there is a necemity to stay.We have & warrant for the arrest of Prince Borgensky which Count Rudersdorf will pr to read to you if you choose to hear it, snd until you can give satisfactory proof that you are not Taras Borgensky you must consider yourself a .Of sours,\u201d he continued with a shrug and sswmils, \u201cI need not point out to yon that 2 is perfectly useless and may George Gordon.1can CES wp his hand dr Mévois as ho si » \u2019 \u2014 © are quite awase (het Fou have ome At tn.> adopted that name, and also that you have lately been living at Grandison Chambers, Adelphi terrace.The count has been watching you closely for some time.Here is an accurate description of your person, if you would like to see it.We huve taken the utmost pains to asanre ourselves of your identity before taking this important step, you may Le sure.\u201d \u201cHang it!

gentlemnn drew from his pocket a well worn ducutnent and showing it said: \u2018The papers which every one is compelled Ly police regulations to curry.\u201d \u201cIn England, sir,\u201d said Gordon fiercely, \u201cthat humilation is only put upon those who merit it by their crimes.\u201d \u2018Do you wish me to believe that an Englishmenn is not obliged to produce papers of iéentification at the request of the policer\u201d \u201cNot uuless he is a ticket of leave man.\u201d \u2018The old gentleman, in complete astonishment, communicated this informa tion to Rudersdorf, who shook his Lead

will send for him.\u201d \u201cPerfectly useless,\u201d said the old gentleman despondeutly\u2014*per-fect ly.Perhaps you ure not aware thet Mr.Kava.nagh, like myself, is the paid servant of the czar.\u201d A paid servant of the czar!\u201d Gordon, exclaimed, vverwhelmed with astonishment.\u201cAnd the most trusted agent of his excellency, the miniv:er of police.\u201d A glimmering of the truth dawned upon Gordon, und his sterner nature taking the ascendant he turned fiercely upon me and said: \u201cAre you, tuo, à servant of the czar \u20148 police spy?\u201d I bowed uy head before his wrath.The old gentleman answered for me: \u201cUnfortunately Mlle, Soltikoff is cur most determined adversary, as you should know who owe so much to her.\u201d Gordon regarded him and then me in utter bewilderment.Ruderslorf took up the order of arrest, again saying a few words in Russian, If yon have no other evidence to offer, Count Rudersdorf will proceed to read the wgrrant.Tine presses.\u201d \u201cIt's a furce, I tell you, reading the thing to me.You Lave no power to arrest me.\u201d \u201cThe fact that you're a prisoner proves the contrary.\u201d \u201cThat is an abuse of power fur which vou will be made to pay dearly.Yon have no authority to arrest even Taras on British territory,\u201d \u201cNou matter where we find the Prince Borgensky, we need uo higher authority to make him our prisoner than this,\u201d replied the old gentletwan, pointing to the seal un the order.*I warn you again that I am not the prince, but a British subject.\u201d The old gentleman shrugged his shoulders, raised his eyebrows and spoke to Rudersdorf, who gave a short, derisive laugh, and then losing patience replied in a few short, peremptory sentences which my limited knowled;re of Russian did not enable me to follow, But he addressed Gordon rather than his secretary.\"What does he say\u201d Gordon demanded with not less impatience.\u2018Count Rudersiorf wishes to know if you vxpect him to take your situple denial against the evidence of his own senses?This is not the first time you have met, and he is somewhat astonished that you do not recognize him, as no further back than this morning you passed lim twice in walkiug up and down the Adelphi terrace with Mr.Kavanagh.\u201d Gordon started, and fixing his eyes on Rudersdorf seemed to recall his face to mind.\u2018And all this!\u2019 expostulated the old gentleman, raising the pile of ideutify- ing papers.\u201cFor example,\u201d he added, picking up a photograph that slipped out, \u201cyou woull not have us believe that this is not your nortrait?\u201d Gordon took up the photograph and regarded it in bewilderment.It was undoubtedly bis own portrait, but mounted on a card, with the printed name and address of a photographer in Moscow.The only explanation was that the photograph had been rewoved from the English mount and pasted on the Russian one.But for what purpose Les still an uufathomed mystery to im.\u201cYou perhaps deny your own handwriting?\u201d said the old gentlowan, handing a letter.\u2018This is not my hand.I cannot even read the character in which it is written?\u201d **Here is one written by you in the ordinary European hand.\u201d \u2018\u2019Thatis not iny writing.I can prove it.Give me a shect uf paper.\u201d Writing material was given to hin, and he wrote à couple of lines quickly.Rudersdorf and the old gentleman ex- atuiued it and exchanged a few observations.\u2018The prince has altered his hand evidently,\u201d said the old gentleman in a complimentary tone; \u2018but, as the count points out, that is a slight achievement for one whose skill of hand is known all over the world.\u201d Gordon dashed down the pen in a rage and thrust his bands in his pockets, A laminivus idea seemed to have occurred to Rudersdorf, and a rapid dialogue ensued between him and his secretary, at the end of which the old gentleman, turning to Gordon, said: \u201c*Admirably as yon have played this little scene, you cannot expect us tu take that exhibition as a convincing proof that you wre not Prince Borgensky, We are used to this sort of thing aud not eusily to be deceived.At the same time, to remove even the faintest trace of doubt, we shall be happy to facilitate to the utmost in our power every means of immediately proving your NOTARIAL The

perfect honesty of our confrere, Burry Kavanagh, we have only to complete formalities aud remove you to Ruasin, where you will be dealt with in accordance with the pleasure of the czar.\u201d \u2018*As you please.\u201d At a sign from the secretary Ruders- dorf aguiu took up the paper which he this time read through without interruption.Coming to the end, he nodded to the guard at the duor, who at once stepped forward and laid hands upon Gordon.He made no resistance, and without a word pasecd out of the cabin, apparently tou absorbed iu thought to take heed of immediate cir-

seated myself in the chair he pushed toward me.For a few minutes he and the old gentleman conversed iu a jargon that I Gould not understand.Then with the same brusque manner he addressed me again.\u201cYou don't feign ignorance, I sup- et\u201d he continued rudely.\u201cYou un- erstand Russian\u201d \u2018Not such Russian as you two have been speaking together.\u201d I replied, speaking, as I habitually did, in French.\u201cOh, if you understand French, we can get on,\u201d said he in that language, Now, then, your name is Aura Solti- off?\u201d \u2018I never heard the name.\u201d \u201cAh! and you were not born at Kiel?\u201d he anid, glancing at a pager, \u201c 0.\u201d And of course you havei't got any paperst, \u201cNo.\" \u201cThe same old game,\u201d he muttered, with a shrug, glancing ut the old gen- tiemun.\u201cAnd algo, of course, you have not been living for nearly a year under the same roof with Prince Borgensky!\u201d \u201cYes, 1 have,\u201d Ireplied, with pride.\u2018Oh, come! It'sromething to get that admission out of you.Well, having lived with him so long, you may happen to have heard something about Siberia?\u201d Who's roing to Siberian?\u201d I asked in as bold a tone as I could assume, my heart quaking at the hint.\u201cWho is going?\u201d he echoed slowly.\u2018Yon are if you're not prudent.\u201d He guve time for this threat to sink into my wind by speaking to his secretary.\u2018Now then,\u201d he went on, \u2018\u2019as you value your life answer me this truly.Whois the man who has just left this cabint\u201d 1 wade no reply.The old gentleman, with a most urbane smile, intervened.\u201cMademoiselle herself by her own word and act has raised a doubt\u2014a very trifling doubt\u2014whether we have captured the real Prince Borgensky or not.Of course if he is not the prince we dare not take cither him or Mademoiselle from the country.Both will be senton shore at once if that is proved.Mademoiselle will see that it can do her no harm, but be to her great advautage to answer the question.\u201d \u2018No, no,\u201d suid I.\u201cI won't say a word, I'll do nothing to help you.\u201d Rudersdorf started up and said with savage impatience: \u201cThe consequence of refusal you know.Deportation to Siberia with flozging\u2014and \u2014and all the rest.You expose yourself even to torture.Yon may share the fate of Vera Ofromoff and a dozen others.\u201d The secretary went to the door and called reluctantly, I thought, \u201cWe are under Kavanagh's orders,\u201d continued Rudersdorfin a tone of self justification.\u201cThose crders are explicit, and we must obey.We have taken proper prevautions, und if we are cheated the fault will lie with the minister for trusting Kavanagh.\u201d The same men who hud taken Gordon away came to the door.\u2018You have secured the prisoner?\u201d asked Rudersdorf.One of the men laid a key on the table as he responded in the affirmative.\u2018Take this lady down to Sophia Otch- kin.They will share the same cabin.Lock them in and bring me the key.Keep the door gratings open aud watch the prisoners closely.Report any movement of a suspicious kind tomeim- mediately.\u201d CHAPTER XXXL EN ROUTE FOR ST.PETERSBURG, The men seized me savagely and hustled ine down below.There was thrust futo a emall cabin, and with a few brutal words the men shut the door and turned the key upon me, One of them opened a small grating in the door and gave some order in a tone of warning to Sophia Otchkin, who stood with her arms akimbo regarding me.Bhereplied with a short laugh, and then thero was silence.A rough deal table stood under the swing lamp that lit the cabin, and beside a chair.Isat down, and laying my arms on the table dropped my fuce in my hands, quite overcome with physical aad mental exhaustion, ld matter enough for reflection and speculation, Kavanagh had deceived we.He had not intended that we shoud come to the Mariner's Joy.That was of little importance.The more serious point was that, from the first, he must ave determined that I should be taken away with Gordon.But why?I could not answer that question.; Toward morning the stillness of the night.emphasized by the heavy breathing of Sophia Otchkin asleep in her bunk, was broken by the busy sound of preparation for departure.Heavy feet traiuped about upon the deck above, a rope splashed fu the water alongside, orders were shouted, there was a hoarse hissing of steam, and the violent rattling of an engine accompanied the deeper rumble uf a chain.The hollow roar of a steam whistle followed, and then tho vessel scorned to vibrate to the shrill hiss of steara aud the monotonous thud of machinery in the engine room.\u201cWe're off; heaven be praised!\u201d murmured Sophia Owhkin, turning over in her sleep, I did not close m eyes till after the murky daylight ad become visible through the round porthole, but while my companion was dressing I fell aslecp and did not awake until she shook my shoulder.\u201cIt is nearly midday,\u201d said she.\u2018Your MCCORMICK & CLAXTON, Advocates,Commissioners for Ontario Nova Scotia, Manitoba, British Columbia, &c.Room 70, Imperial Building, No 107 St James street, Montreal D.McCormick,Q.C.A.G.B.Claxton, B.C.L.Will attend all the Courts in the District of Beapharnois, and will be at Moir's Hotel, Huntingdon, on the last Friday of every month, barring unforseen circumstances.Telephone No 2497.Claims for collection and corroepondence can be addrossed to Chas.Dewick, County Building, Hunt- jagdou and Fi.Kllerton, Hemmlngtord.| dinner will be brought down soon.It | fs time to rise.\u201d I stepped out of the oot and stood looking about me stupidly.My head ached terribly.It was with ulty that I realized my situation.*\u2018Are we there?\u2019 I usked stupidly, observing that there was no sound engine or movement.She lunzhed and told me we were still in the river, having been compelled to drop anchor again becanse of the fog.I tried to move; but overcome by a deadly feeling of nausea and giddiness, I fell to the ground.That wus the beginning of an illness which lasted nearly a week.For half that time I was un- couscious, and | think this was nature's means of obtaining a rest for my overtaxed faculties, Tie first day that I was strong enough to rise and dress inyself, the ouf gentleman, who had visited me frequently and shown greater kindness and consideration than I might have expected from him, caine to see me just after 1 had fluished & busin of broth.Come,\u201d said he, after congratulating mo on my recovery, \u2018\u2018weare beginning the week well.After groping our way up this execrable river at a snail's pace, here we are at last in the open sen, with # bright sun and à clear sky overhead.I thought madamoiselle was going to give us the slip after nll; but now,\u201d he added, rubbing his hands as if the prospect were the cheerfullest in the world \u2014*\u2018now we can count upon reaching St.Potersburg without any further hitch, all safe and sound.\u201d Seving that this promire failed to ex hilurute me, he nsked me if 1 would like to go upon deck for a little while, I accepted the offer eagerly.The vld gentlemmn placed a seat for me in a sheltered corner and made 1n0 comtoriable with rugs, trying his utinost to chiarin away the deep dejection which my wretched face betrayed.Ruders dorf cane up and spoke courteously to me, but I could not bear them\u2014their presence irritated me.I wunted to be alone that I might loosen my grief and cry and cry without restraint.A white bird skimmed over the calm blue water, \u201cTaras would tell we its name,\u201d 1 suid to myself, and thissimple reflection \u2014 the mere want of a single word from hitn\u2014s0 overciune me that 1 was fain to cover my bowed face with my hands to conceal my lack of courage, Rudersdorf and the old gentleman withdrew in silence.Then, ashamed of myself, T dried my eyes, resolving that they should not see such an exhibition agin.Presently 1 heard a (nick step approaching, and looking up with choking eagerness 1 suw Gordon coming toward mo with anxiety on his kind face.I droppel my head 4ith leaden disap- wintent, for in that one moment I and conceived it possible that Taras had conte to sutisfy my yearning, y dear malemoiselie,\u201d he said with tender solicitude as he held my hand, \u201c1 hear you have been awfully ill I can see it\u201d \u201cThat's all over\u2014I'm all right now,\u201d I replied, \u2018Begad, a week down below in an atmosphere of pea soup! It's enough to kuock anyone out.But this will soon bring you around, eh?By Juve!\u201d he added, throwing up his head and druw- ing i deep breath of the pure air, \u201cthis is like rising from the dead.\u201d He seuted himself on a coil of rope by my side and with cheerful encouragement in his voice continued: Don\u2019t yon take it to heart madermoi- selle.It'll all come right, you'll see.1f they only let us come up on deck now aud then\u2014and there's no reason to keep us down Lelow, now we're out of the river and may scream ourselves hoarse without getting an echo for reply\u2014this police outrage will simply give us a jolly, nice little holiday at the expense of the Russian government.I've thought it all out while I've Leen stewing down below, and its just the certainty of turning the tables on these muddleheaded, weddling officials that has kept me from knocking down my jailers\u2014or trying to at any ratv\u2014and making a dash fur frecdom, \u201cI've thought the whole thing out, und I sce exactly what will happen.When we get to St.Petersburg we shall be received like priuces\u2014not Russian princes, you know.The minister will wiit upon us with a thousand and one apologies, for of course he has learned already by telegraph of the blunder these fellows have made.Naturally he will try to exhonerate himself, but he'll take plus to conciliate us to the utmost of his ability\u2014no fear of that.And he will afford us every means to get out of lussia Hs soon as possible \u2014that's equally certain, And home we will go by way of Berlin and Paris, with a day or two's rest Lieve and there to make the journey pleasant.Then one fine morning we will wake up old Taras Ly marching into Lambeth to the tune of \u2018See the Conquering Hero\u2014and Heroine\u2014Come.\u2019 u- \u2018No, \u201d sai I, shaking my head; \u201cthat will never be.\u201d CHAPTER XXXIL 1 CONFESS TO GURDON, \u201cMy dear girl,\u201d remonstrated Gordon, \u201cis anyone lying ill in a stuify cabin, with nothing to breathe but ycllow fuy, in a position to see things in anything but a loony light?Are you yet in a condition to furm an impartial judg- went on the affair?! Now, if you had been pondering the matter with a clear heud, as [ have been doing for the past week\"\u2014 \u201cBut you don't know ail the facts,\u201d I said, interrupting him.Pulling his beard, he reluctantly admitted that this was true, \u2018\u2018And.\u201d be added, \u201cit's true that I've had to draw a good deal on iny imagination to square things comfortably.However, we are not going to discuss the matter to davit can easily stand over till you are stronger, and then if it's necessary we'll have all the facts and wake the best we nay of \u2018em.\u2019 1 assented to thig proposal with a sigh, knowiux that the truth ust be told, but I wus grateful for the delay, feeling 80 feeble and downhenrted.We staid upon deck until the sun sank in the golden sea, but the kind hearted fellow said not another word on the subject that obviously caused me such depressing anxiety.He knew a great deal about ships and the sca and told me many stories of his adventures in a yacht with so much humor that 1 more than ouce was forced to smile, We were closely watched by Ruders.dorf and thy old gentleman, who, seeing by the openness of our manner that we were not hatching plots, marked their satisfaction by promising that we should voue on deck the following day if the w-_\"her held fair.Th) wind freshened ia tho night, bus J.C.BRUCE, General Insurance A pont, Huntingdon.Fire, Life, and Accident Insurance.UNDERTAKING AND ENBALNING.The undersigned wish to intimate that they have on hand a full line of CASKETS AND COFFINS of all sizes and styles, coffin plates, burial robes and other trimmings, always in stock.Prices reasonable A good hearse kept.Show rooms in R.¢.Kolly\u2019s block, Chatosugay street.Orders promptly attended to.DINNEEN & KELLY, RUNTINGDON the sea was not snough to prevent my going on deck after breakfast, thongn I found it difficult to keep my feet nuder this uovel condition of things, Gordon was waiting for me at the of the atuire in a fur jacket he had bought from one of the sailors, He had a pipe in bis inouth, and his face was radiant with boyish delight.\u201cI'm glad to see you have not been i11,\u201d ssid he, taking my arm to steady we.\u201cOh, that's all past.\u201d *Heasick, I mean.\u201d \u201cI don't know how any one can be sick on the sea,\u201d 1 replied, looking out over the dancing waters.They seemed to me as grand in their strength as they hail been benutiful in their calm repose, and the fresh air gave me new life.He glunced at me in perplexity as he stevred me across to the corner he alrendy prepared.We seated ourselves, aud Rudersdorf sent us a conple of rugs and a tarpaulin, with which we made ourselves very suug and comfortable.\u201cI'm à bit puzzled, mademoiselle, said Gordon, when Rudersdorf and his secretary had left ue.\u201cFrom one or two remarks you made yesterday, and what you said just mow, one would think you had never been on the sea ore.\u201d \u201c1 saw it for the first time yesterday.\u201d \u201cThen how in the world did you get across from Russia?\u201d he said in amazement.\u2018I have never been in Russia.I fancy I was born in Shadwell.Anyway I lived there as long as I can remember and never left till last year.\u201d \u2018But \u2014you speak French like a native.\u201d \u201cThat's because I spenk nothing else at howe, because I could not speak English like you or any one else who has been sducated, because Taras wished me to begin a new life, and break away from all that had gone before\u201d \u2014\u2014 \u201cLook here, mademoiselle,\u201d Gordon said, stopping me with apprehension in his tone, \u2018if this sort of thing will upset you.you know\u201d \u2014- \u201cNo, no.I'm strong now.I must tell you what I had not the courage to tell you yesterday.I ought to have told you the firs Abing, because I've no right to profit by your kindness until I know whether you can forgive me or not,\u201d \u201cOh, I suy, don't Jou know\" \u2014Gordon expostulated uneasily.Disrezarding his remonstrance, I told my story as simply as I could, relating all that had taken place between Kava- nagh and myself truthfully and with a desire to say nothing which might bias bis judgments, His pipe went out as he listened, as- rouishment holding him spellbound.v Jooked ench other straight in the eyes until 1 had spoken the last word.Then I dropped my head and waited in tremVling uncertainty for his verdict.He did not leave me long in doubt as to his present feeling.\u201cYou are a brick,\u201d he said ; \u2018a regular brick!\u201d and taking my haud he pressed it warmly.\u201cI\u2014I didn't expect you to think so,\u201d said I.\u201cWhy, you don't think I could have any grudge against vou for making me useful.do jour You have led me to do no more than 1 should willingly have done to save old Taras if I had been asked, and if it were otherwise that would not alter my esteem for you\u2014not a bit, It's this devotion that I admire you for.A real, genuine, womanly woman, don't you know, should stick at nothing, but go bang through thick and thin for a man.Judith, I believe, would do as much for me if it came to the pinch.If not (and know it)\u2014well, she would be my Judith, that's all Don\u2019t give way, little woman,\u201d he continued, sceing my lips twitch perhaps, for his generous enthusiasin touched me greatly.\u2018You have done all that you could do, and it's bound to turn out rignt.I have unbounded confidence in Kavanagh.\u201d \u201cHave vou?\u201d I asked hopefully.\u2018I shoald think so! Why he's one of the subtlest, shrewdest, cleverest men in London.He's not a foul, I can tell you.\u201d \u201cNo, 1 didn\u2019t think he might be that etactiy, but*\u2014 \u201cI see.You thought it possible that he might be something worse.Well, that's excusable, for when a man owns up to doing other people you can never feel quite sure that he isn\u2019t doing you.You see we can't all tell the truth and hit straight out from the shoulder.Why, take this case.for example.Without lying how could Kavanagh have circumvented the smartest police in the world \u2014how could he have got over the minister of police and those crafty rascals and upset their villuinous game.\u201d \u2018Is it certain that he is deceiving them and not ust\u201d I asked.\u2018Wait a bit.This wauts a deuced lot of cool judgment.Let tue have a pipe.\u201d He lit his pipe aud puffed out great streams of siuoke before he spoke again.When he had taken three or four pulls, lie said : \u2018Bat is there any

Important Matter.The human system cannot long re main in a condition of health without the inclusion of fats in the dietary.On the other hand, too much fat quickly proves injurious and deranges the digestive organs Persons of weak digestion, as well as invalids, and children, have as a rule & distaste for fats, with the exception of a few of the more digestible, such as butter and cream.Cod-liver oil, says Youth's .Companion, is among the most easily digestible of fats, and on account of its high nutritive quality is one of the most valuable, especially to weak, irritable children who are inclined to nervousness, skin disorders or to winter or chronic coughs.Pains should be taken to make cod.liver oil assimilate where it seems at first to disagree with the stomach.A few drops only may be given in the beginning, and the quantity increased slowly, when after a few weeks it will often be found to he readily digested.This improvement is probably due to the increased vitality gencrated by the oil, as well as to the toleration acquired for it.Large quantities of fat taken with food cause indigestion, the fat forming a thin film about the particles, of food.In some instances, nevertheless, fat aids digestion, Thus the addition of butter or cream to a roasted potato renders it less liable to form into large lumps in the stomach.Most persons have noticed that fats in a melted state are more indigestible than when cold.This is especially true of mutton and pork.Such fats are much more digestible when thoroughly mixed with starchy food.Thus children who almost always dislike fat will usually enjoy suet pudding, which, if light and well-cooked, is nourishing and wholesome.Fat is practically unchanged in the stomach, but is digested further along in the digestive tract, The fat of roast beef is especially nourishing; that of pork is at its best wlhien sliced thin and thoroughly cooked as in the form of bacon, which may usually be taken and enjoyed even by a delicate stomach.Fatg furnish energy for muscular activity, and for the heating of the body.They are stored to some extent in the tissues, where they serve as a protection to the body and also as so much fuel to be used for bodily encrgy.Curlous Things.The doctors of Topeka, Kan., say that there isa young negro in that burg who has the body and limbs covered wilh skin exactly like that of an alligator, The largest pure diamond, that belonging to the Rajahof Mattan, weighs 867 carats.The one of next greatest weight, the Orloof or Orloff, weighs 193 carats, Blood in its natural state contains a surprising amount of pure air, amounting to nearly seven eigliths of its entire bulk.St.Jerome states that he saw Scotchmen in the Roman armies in Gaul, who ate human flesh regularly, esteeming it as a great delicacy.In the human subject the brain is the 1-28 part of the whole body's entire weight.In the horse it is not more than 1-400 part.The \"World of Wonders\u201d says that there is enough iron in the blood of 42 men to make a plowshare of 24 pounds\u2019 weight.The word \u2018\u2018and\u201d occurs 85,543 times in the Old Testament and 10,681 times in the New Testament.A turnip with a human face was pulled from a garden in the village of Weidan, Germany.in the year 1628.A full account of this wonder and a splendid woodcut of the same may be found in

table.Russia gave the bewp, or India or Bouth Carolina the cotton, for that cloth which his wife lays upon it.The eastern islands placed there those condiments and spices which were once the secret relishes of the wealthy.Australian downs send him frozen mutton or canned beef, the prairies of America meal for his biscuit and pudding, and if he will eat fruit the orchards of Tasmania and the palm woods of the West Indies proffer delicious gifts, while the orange groves of Florida and of the Hesperides cheapen for his use those ** golden apples\u2019* which dragons used to guard.His coffeo comes from where jow- eled humming birds bang in the bowers of Bruzil, or purple butterflies flutter amid the Juvan mangroves, Great clipper ships, racing by vight and day under clouds of canvas, convey to bim the tea from China or Assam, or from the green Singhalese hills.The sugar which sweetens it was crushed from canes that waved by the Nile or the Orinoco, and the plating of the spoon with which he stirs it was dug for him from Mexican or Nevadan mines.The currants in his dumpling are a tribute from classic Greece, and his tinued salon or kippered herring a token from the seas and rivers of Canada or Norway, He may partake, if he will, of rice that ripened under the hot skies of Patna or Rangoon, of cocoa, that ** tood of the gods,\u2019 plucked under the burning blue of the equator.For his rasher of Lacon the hog express runs daily with 10,000 grunting victims into Chicugo.Dutch or Brittany hens have laid him ogys, and Danish cows grazed tho daisies of Elsinore to produce his cheese and butter.If he drinks beer, it is odds that Belgium and Bavaria have contributed to it the barley and the hops, and when he has finished eating it will be the Mis- gissippi flats or the gardens of the Antilles that fill for him bis pipe with the comforting tobacco, \u2014Sir Edwin Arnold in Longman\u2019s Magazine.Requisites of the Stage.One may say, \u2018* The requisites of success on the stage are youth, health, good elocutionary talents and practiced skill, good looks and dramatic instinct.\u201d Then it vould be replied that if a person pos- sesged this combination he or she need give himself or herself no further concern as to success, It is absolutely se- cure\u2014as secure as an income from $500,000 of government bonds, and that to a person just starting out on a stage career and anxious to make a good living out of it such preliminary conditions are as remote as the big bank balance to the new beginner in commercial business.it is really the case that most of the conditions that qualify fo stage success have to be worked for.This sort of instruction may not be imparted by professional teachers at so much a les- sun, but it proceeds from teachers all tho

olives in the garden of Gethsemane were full grown when the Saracens were expelled from Jerusalem, and the cypress of Sorna, in Lombardy, is said to have been a tree in the time of Julius Caesar, yet
