take to reduce the whole Irish people

At the Hamilton Chancery, an ali-
mony case was tried, in which, the
evidence adduced showed terrible de-
pravity on the part of the defendant,
Geo Bridgewood. Bridgewood, H he
is an elderly man, has been living in

granddaughter, a girl of 13, the ille-
gitimate child of his daughter. The
child has lived with him from her
birth, and he has kept her itt a state

w t
discovered a large colony of
bedbugs
This week. There was at least five
hundred of them. They seemed to
breed in the knee -joint, and in a holo
on the side of the limb. His wife, a
very neat woman, fainted upon the
discovery. She had been mystified by
the fact that the beds in her splendid
mansion were infested with the ver-
min. Houses that she and her hus-
band visited were similarly infested
by the leg being unscrewed and left
on the floor all night. The New
York firm to which the leg has been
sent for cleaning, says that bedbugs
have n partiality for cork legs.

So you are going to marry that
small, wheezy, consumptive-l000king
specimen of a man, are you? said one
girl to another. I really don't see
what you cau see in him to love.
Mary, said her friend, your father is
a small man, isn't he? Yes, was the
reply, but what of that? Nothing,
except that it he wasn't small it would
have been doubtful if your mother
would have been boss. I'm going to
marry that small man because I'm
fond of having my own way and
won't accept any risks.
An old-time bartender thinks that
the temperance sentiment is cutting
into the liquor business. "I have
noticed," he says, "th,at drinkers on
the average pour out less than they
did formerly. Lord bless you, I am
one of the ancients in the business.
I have tended bar in nearly every
first-class hotel in the country, and
used to run on the lower Mississ-
ippi River. The drinks I have seen
nieu pour out would stagger hie in
my best days, and I have been a
pretty good drinker in my time.
They used to take it pretty straight
in my early days. It is seldom now
that you bear a man call for whis•
key straight. It is something on
the side, or a little sugar and water.
I have noticed this tendency to kind
o'weaken liquor for a long time,
and I think as how prohibition is
getting in its work. I am sorry, as
an old mixer, to say this, for I have
always been one of the kind as
thought it was a sin to water whis-
key or to even put sugar in it. A
man ought to Lake it straight or
leave it alone.
A well-to•d>v colored man called
pn Mr J. A. Gully, city tax collect-
or, for the purpose of paying his
taxes. Upon being asked what the
amount was Mr Gully informed him
that he owed only. $4 40. "How
is that ?" asked the negro in aston-
ishment. "What is the property
valued at, anyway?"' He way in-
formed that the value of the pro-
perty had been -valued -at -at $300.
"That amount," said the tIsitor, "is
wrong. My property is worth $2,-
000. It is worth that amount, and
I once swore to that amount being
its value. I want to pay any taxes
on what the property is worth, and
I. do -not think that the city ebould
collect any other amount than the
exact value of the property. I do
not want the city to give me any-
thing. It is my privilege as a citi-
zen. to estimate the value, of my
possessions and to pay taxes on them
at that value. Compute the amount
due on $2,000 worth of property
and I will pay the sunt." The col -
leder then made another computa-
tion and found that the • taxes a-
mounted to $29 35. The colored
citizen paid it cheerfully. --[Meri-

The Ontario Provincial Alliance
Executive are laying out to give de-
termined opposition in the bye -elec-

was one of them.
Nothing is better calculated to ar-
ray all respectable citizens against
the jiquor traffic than the outrages
and laW-defying acts in Scott Act
counties. It is one thing. to sympath-
ise with a legal traffic, tied quite a-
nother to defend outlaws and crimin-
als.
In the contest for Mayor in Newark,
N. J., the Prohibitionists put a third

candidate only polled about 1,500
votes.
Halton's first repeal petition con-
tained 2,160 names, and the total
vote for te petition was 1,767, while
the vote against it was much larger

and the indications are for a more dis-
astroias defeat for the antis.
The anti -Temperance men take up
the abandoned weapons of the Tem-

are now defending the high license
law against the assaults of the°Prohibs

to be squarely against high license.
Wentworth county is going to hold'

readily accepted; and on Saturday
last the Rev. Mr kIenders,with one of
the layman, called on a few of the
leading members of the church and
in less than three hours, without the
least trouble they raised 5700, which
was $430 more than their allotment.

PORT HOPE, ONT., 1isY 2nd, 1887.
I was a sufferer from a long stand-
ing case of catarrh and being well up
in years (72) hardly expected to ever
obtain anything that would give me
material or permanent relief. At the
time of receiving Nasal Balm I was
very bad with catarrh; but take great 't
pleasure in starting that-on-threecond
application I obtained wonderful re-
lief and its effect was pleas ant, sooth-
ing and healing. It acted like magic
and is worth ten times its cost for
the immediate relief it gives. I feel
confident the second bottle will affect
a permanent cure. I have reconi-
mended Nasal Balm for cold in the
head and in every ct se it acts like a
charm. Yours truly,
T. W. HUNT.
On:Wednesday night a sixteen year-
old son of Mr R. B. Striven, of Til-
bury, Ont, caught two men endeavor-
ing to steal two horses from a neigh-
,bor's barn. They attacked Scriven
and escaped. A little after the same
hour Friday;night Scriven was picked
up unconscious on the main street of
the town. He remained insensible
twelve hours and when brought to con-
sciousness said that the two menlwho,
the night before attacked him, had
again assaulted him and took ,from
him the keyof his father's barn. Two
horses werfound unfastened in the
barn, bntthere was no evidence of a
visit by thieves. The boy has spasms
every little while and doses off into
insensibility at frequent intervals.
The struggle for the key took place
in the centre of the town, and yet no
one saw it. The doctors cannot find
any marks to cause the present con-
dition of Scriven and are at a loss to
account for it. Scriven is a promi•
nent young man of the town, and has
always been considered an exemplary
youth.
A Washington despatch says' Mr
Louis K. Church, Governor of
Dakota, in his annual report says:
"The Territory bas had another year
of wonderful growth in population
and wealth, During the past year
2,067,281 acres „of public land had
been filed on, and 1,538,672 acre
land have acquired by final proof and
cash entry. Twenty-three million
eight hundred and eleven thousand
four hundred and forty-five acres of
public land remain unoccupied. The
population of the Territory is.estimat-
ed at 568,477,an increase of about 68,-
000 during the year. During tbo
building seasonof
d q 1885, 679 miles of
new railroad were constructed, mak-
ing a total of 4,208." The report says
that the season of 1880 was not alto-
gether favorable to farming interesti).
The total area in corn, wheat, oats
and (lax in 1886 amounted to 4,712,-
761 acres, an increase of about one-
third over last year. During the year
1886 there were raised 15,806,000
bushels of corn, 30,704,000 bushels of
wheat, 20,661,000 bushels of oats, and
3,844,323 bushels of flax, On January
5th, 1887, the value of live stock in
the Territory reached 542,828,338, an
increase of nearly 5500,000 per year

]Fine diamonds, diamonds of 1.ir• c,•rt•'u•,t
water, are owned by some dozens of I,.,,,1 I. i„
Chicago. The very finest is rani 111'
old gentleman whore name twtrr ligula: ul
any list of owners of precious stems et IT a,.
far printed. Jean D. Jennings may be tv"rth
55,000,000, or he may be worth $15,000,000.
The vast bulk of his wealth is in corner lots[
but a big diamond stud, not less than nue•
half an incl[ in diameter, which hu weals day
in and day out in his shirt front has been in-
ventoried by as good judges as TttLmy at 530,-
000. That makes it by far the biggest and fin-
est stone hem its owner is tis years of age,
but he carries this little fortune around on his
person invariably, even at night. If it held a
more important relation to his fortune perhaps
-he'd-be-a- t.tle-mere-oautioue-; but 530,000 to
Jennings' fortune would cut a very sorry
figure. "Nobodylatows how much he's worth,"
real estate men say. 1[e has had for forty
years a fondness for good corner lots, and
whenever he Itaa gotten a good one Ise has had
a most profitable method of getting a revenue
out of it. Jennings introduced here the
ninety -nine-year lease system. No sooner has
he gotten a fine piece of property than lie is
looking around for a good ninety -nine-year
tenant, one who will take the property at a
valuation, perhaps, 20 per cent. in advance of
what it cost, pay as a rental the current rate
of interest, and agree to put on it a valuable
building. These 7 -per -cent. and ti -per -cent.
leases have paid at compound interest vastly
more than other real estate owners who have
held on have made out of their property.
And so Jennings, without being ever talked
about, without ever figuring in the newspa-
pers, without ever heading any great schemes,
is actually pronounced by so good a judge of
local rank as Banker Charles Henrotin the
richest man in Chicago to -day. These 7 -per-
cent. and 6 -per -cent. ninety-nine year leases
.A3t the scores of valuable pieces of Chicago
realty can all now be turned into ready cash
on a 4 -per -cent basis of revenue. That would
bring the old gentleman .Jennings 52,000,000
for every 51,000,000 he invested. Jennings
says to those who have a right to know that
the diamond he wears its his shirt front is
worth 530,000.
The: Sensations or lite Dying.
It is doubtless the ease that in many In-
stances -and perhaps they are the majority -
dying persons lapse gradually into au uncon-
sciousness that ends their bodily pain and saves
them from the anguish of the final parting
with those they leave behind. It is not un-
common, however, for clearness of com-
prehension to persist to the last, and
perhaps it is still more cpunnon for some
of the spacial senses to preserve their activity.
The following touching account of the Into
Dr. Wilson Fox's hest moments, when his
friend Dr. J. Russell Reynolds was at his bed-
side, is given in the Lancet's obi-
tuary "On the next morning, when
obviously and consciously dying, and
after bis eyes had been fixed for a few
minutes on the angle of the room, and as soine
gray streaks of dawn wore entering it, he said
suddenly : 'There is a great light -a great
glare of light. . I feel so strange
a glare of light. What is it Reynolds ? The
.„,.reply was -'It is the peach of God.' He
graspedids friend's hand firmly and said 'God'
bless you.' "

Male Attire for Women,
IWem The London Telegraph.
Wee proposal of the erratic Mine, de Val-
sAs e, Who intends to agitate for freedom of
female garb, seems lest hied to find many sup,
porters, both male and female. The Prefect
of Police has for some tits.' past allowed sever-
al warier to akar 11(1410 14uin., but for particu-
lar reasons. <tuuing these is a female feom
^Inrseillt•s who is 1l128se,l with a hirsute ap-
pendage on her'clliu whi.•h wenl,l ,lo honor to
an athletic sapeur, a 891(11(1 s Ip, is 1101)51-
lnrly supposed to glory a man ellous
board. This woman 51 of cour.e followed
by a crowd of small boys whenever She ap-
peared in public. So the bearded woman re-
solved to discard the petticoat for ever, and to
don the pantaloons of the stronger sex. To
this intent she made an application to the
Prefect of Police, which was granted at once.
The other women who are allowed to assume
man's habiliments are a few female painters
or copyists, who work on high ladders in the
picture galleries, anti air tut a half a dozen per-
sons who have left off ilio proper garb of their
sex for motivescunuectod with health,
Since Mine. Ditnlaf,y appeared at the
Opera Conli({ne in the evening dress of a
copurchie, M. (:ragpup, the Prefect of Police,
has recalled to his subordinates the edictagainst
the wearing of men's clothes by a'onten. But
nobody has been punished, a0( it is probably
in view of this leniency that some females con-
tinue to appear to public dressed as men,
while the Prefect is himself continually
pestered with applications from vvoinen who
want to walk about Paris in male attire
like Georges Sand, and who allege medical
motives which M. Gragnon prudently and
diplomatically professes not to under-
stand. But if Aline. de Valsayre's proposed
petition to Parliament be rejected, as it un-
doubtedly will be, that belligerent dame will
at least have the satisfaction of knowing that
she will have given another impetus to the
prevailing fashion among her countrywoman
of making their garments as masculine as pos-
