BY f$t 4RWS. HQRRJAfda.041-0 OF A MA1t DARIVIS IN PGOItIAA. INDIAN RIVALRY IN WHEAT RAIS ING. It is the opinion of the American Consul at Calcutta that India can successfully compete with the United States as a wheat grower, owing primarily to thefact that the British Indian farmers' outfit represent a capital of not over $40 or $50 and his hired help works, feeds and clothes hamself on about $2 20 a month. India has a territory of 2,000 square miles, and there are large areas in the middle and northern parts, that, beth by soil and climate, are admirably adapted to wheat growing. The population, chiefly ludien, is about 260,000,000. Until within the last ten years but little attention has been given to the cultivation of wheat. The extension of this cultivation, as well as that of railroads, haps within that time been very rapid. The pre- sent mileage of railroads is about 13,250 miles, and the wheat area has expanded to 27,000,000 acres. And nothing but railroad facilities ire needed to open still larger areas of laud that are adapted to growing wheat. It might• be possible in a short time for our neighbor Uncle Sam to be excluded from the British market on .account of this Indian competition. The maximum wheat expert of India has already reached 42,160,000 bushels against a few thousand hundred -weight ten years l ago. In the next decade it is ex- tpected the wheat production will in- crease in a geometrical ratio, and 1 India become the greatest wheat ex- t porting country in the world. The truth is, nearly all the wheat grown is sold, from the fact that the native population generally eats rice and millet seed bread. &c , for its subsis- tence. This Indian wheat -growing is going to be the great agricultural and commercial problem with Ameri- cans for the next few years. "PLEASE DO NOT GIVE MY FATHER RUM." [This poem has its origin in fact. A little girl in Chicago entered a high -ll• ceased.saloo)i, with her modest request as the poem describes it, when she was oiled to the floor and kicked out of the loon.] 'lease do not sell my father rum, S• id a little girl with ankles bare ; Tattered her dress, uncombed her hair, And her bright blue eyes, in tears Up- ` turned, ----To-the face -of -one -in --whose- -whose- heart there The dreitd of the mail carriers on the Florida aotrth•eabt coast are the Uillsborrt and New River iulete, which have to be crossed by small Beate. liere the dark waters of the Everglades empty into the Atlantic with tremendous force at this season, and if the ocean is rough the meeting of the cross currents produce heavy and dangerous seas, Sharks of the fiercest kind fill the inlets. James E Hamilton, the mail carrier from Miami to Lake Worth, was an ath- letic young man and carried the light mail on his shoulders, walking the entire distance,75 miles,on the beach. He lett Lake Worth on Tuesday, in the moraing,and should have reached Refuge Station, 25 miles distant, that afternoon. Late at night a fisherman named Waring came to the station and told the story of Hamilton's hor- rible death. Waring was about one- half mile from Hillsboro Inlet when he saw Hamilton get into his boat to cross. He noted that the sharks were about ie unusual numbers, and just as Hamilton reached the center of the crossing a huge one drove at the boat and bit a piece off the gun- wale. Hamilton struck at the sharks, but nothing could drive them off. Soon both oars were beaten in two, and then the fierce tigers of the sea seem- ed perfectly ravenous. They tore at the boat, snapped at one another,and the water for yards around was dyed with their blood. The boat began to fill, and the sharks; scenting their - prey, redoubled their dashes, Hamil- ton stood on the, middle seat, as if stupefied, glaring at them. Looking up and seeing Waring,he cried out to CASTOR1 burned ... .A1oY.e-of„gin.. awl.. a.loys_of.self,__ •, -. . That prompted him, for the love of pelf To sell her father rum. • - Please do not sell my father ram, For me is sink, and we are poor, The rich, they drive -me from the door, When I ask them for a piece of bread nor was with her husband, having, To feed my ma and brother Ned; come down. Drs.Aikens and Richard. son, of Toronto, who were there as witnessed on a trial, were also in at- tendance on the late Judge. Mr Justice O'Connor was born at Boston, Mass„ in 1824, and moved with his parents to 'Essex, in 1828. In 1854 he was called to the bar. After'filling the municipal offices, he was elected to Parliament in 1863. In 1872 he became' a member of the Dominion Cabinet. Afterwards he assisted in preparing evidence regarding the Ontario boundary. He was elevated to the Bench on September llth,1884. Contrary to the advice of bis physi- cians, he started out on his aritumn circuit a couple of week'' ago, his health having previously displayed unfavorable • symptoms, but his death was wholly unlooked for. for Infants and Children. +'Caetarhsiesowefa4sptedtochildrentbat Caistoriaeures Collo, Coaet±patton, [recommend it as superior to any prescription 8ourStomach, D'earrlwsa, Ala cpr0414,tep di- » iStlla worms, Q a sloop. tnorraata me. 8. .A..

Even as be shouted a huge shark dashed up and bit the partially filled boat a tremendous blow, throeing Hamilton out into the midst of the monsters. - A cry of agony was heard as he went down, and the devourers had him piece -meal before the horror- stricken spectator could take in the full measure of the tragedy. As soon as Waring recovered his senses he went to the Median and told of the affair. A searching party went out at once, but nothing was found save the remnants of the boat cast on the shore. The terrible catastrophe has cast a deep gloom over the coast peo- ple, and no one has yet accepted the position of mail -carrier over that route. • JUDGE O'CONNOR DEAD. The Hon.Mr Justice O'Connor who was holding the Assizes at Cobourg, died on Thursday, at the Arlington House. His Lordship opened the court on Monday, although feeling very poorly after his illness at Corn- wall, and on Tuesday he held court all day, being apparently in good spirits and feeling much better, but during that night he was seized with hemorrhage eef..the-stomach.,_..and-loste. blood very copiously. On Wednes- day morning he was very .weak, and Dr,`Waren, -wife-Wait 'kt'tei din g'lliiin, felt great. uneasiness about him. Judge Benson,at the request of Judge O'Connor, took the Court. Judge O'Connor continued to weaken until 'about 11 a. m. Thursday, when he fell into a state of collapse, from which he. did not rally.

The slight of a comrade the scorn of a foe,• The smile that is full of bitter things— They all can tarnish its golden glow. And take the grace from its airy wings. How easy it is to spoil a day By the force of a thought we did not chock, Little by little we mould the clay, And little flaws may the vessel wreck.

About 3.30 the train pulled out to cross the bridge, and while passing over the ' puzzle switch' in the depot yards, a flat car flew the track, followed by the others, and ran into a freight train on a side track, demolishing two or three cars and killing Geo, Shuiret, a canvass man, and badly injuring two other circus men named Fuller and Isle. In the smash up some of the animal cages on the flat care were broken and a Bengal tiger, two lions, a leopard, an ibex and a vulture, escaped. The wildest kind of a commotion followed. Depot officials and policemen ran frantically q,bout, shouting, warning add there was a general and quick stampede from the yards to the etreets beyond. The circus and depot men then made search for the animals. The leopard ; was found crouched under a freight car and an attempt was made to lasso him out. It failed and the animal rushed from cover, bit a man severely in the leg on his way out, bounded into the ticket office and then jumped through a transom into the Superintendent's Office. He waabesieged by the circus men, and after several attempts to capture him and two or three shots being fired at him, he was covered with a tarpaulin and secured. One by one the,other animals were found, and after more or less trouble were captured and returned to their cages, but it was not until nearly dark that the work was over; and the ex- citement allayed.

Perhaps one of the most dangerous fAlltrthttt lies-ever-bentr-attemptedecrrr the stage in New York,and one which has.- a distinctly' -gymnastic quality about it, is the fall which Mrs Lang- try accomplishes every night in her representation of ' As in a looking- glass' at the Fifth Avenue theatre. It certainly looks very risky. A young surgeon attached to one of the neigh- boring hospitals says, if they get a call from the theatre for the ambu- lance any evening or Saturday after- noon within the next ten weeks, he will know what the matter is without asking any unnecessary questions,and will know that his institution is booked for an exceedingly beautitul and accomplished patient. The tall, it may be mentioned,is the one which concludes Mrs Laugtry's dying scene in the last act,and which brings down the final curtain of the play. It is accomplished by the actress falling into a chair which stands with its back to the audience away up the stage, and falling over backward with the chair when it loses its posi- tion. The chair is artistically loaded; it is understood,so that as soon as Mrs Langtry touches it it keels over towards the audience and leaves the actress in a very sightly heap on the floor. It is certainly an impressive finale, and to the ladies among the audiences which have crowded the theatre recently' must be a very fas- cinating performance, for we hoar of society women practicing the revolu- tion in the privacy ,of their rooms, and understand that the fashionable physicians uptown have recently had an unusually Targe number of broken backs and dislocated necks to attend to.—New York Journal.

If a man goes to the opera with his collar pinned on or some portion of his simple attire fastened in that way he spends that night in agony. He is afraid at will come out and is always putting his hand up to the back of his neck to see if it is all right. Then he strikes the point sure and it runs into his fin- ger. Then he says ”--" gently under his breath and turns to the opera again. But a woman has the most perfect confidence in the little fastener and it really seems to be steadfast and true to her. A wo- man will calmly go into a room with bet whole outfit hanging on the constancy of a pin and she'll never show the faintest sign of anx- iety. It's a great virtue this con- fidence. She'll sit a whole evening .with the, sharp point into the small of her back, and smile and converse and lock happy. It is just such experience as this that makes a wo- man so strong in enduring the trials of life.
