Mez- ery, in his history of Prance, mentions a like occurrence in the Ohampague district in 1510. A QUESTION OF DAMAGES. Some lawyers take very practical views in cases they are retained in. In a certain town in Missouri Squire G— was defeuding a charge of malpractice. A colored man was suing for damages, his wife having (lied shortly after an operation for the removal of Dancer. 1lrheu it came to Squire G ---'e turn to cross-examine the plaintiff,he asked: "Mr. Wilson, how old was your wife when she died ?" "Abent forty-five, Sir." ".been in feeble health a long tilno, had she not, Mr. -Wilson, dua coat you a great deal for medioiue awl help ?" "Yes, Sir." "How old is your present wife ?" "About thirty.five. "Is she stout and healthy, Ur. Wil- son ?" "Yes. Sir." "Thew,: Mr. Wilson, will. yore please state to this jury how you are damaged in this; case ?" Mr. Wilson bad evidently never talc. en this view of the matter, and could remake no answer. The gond and true men be tilt tight had made rather a good thing by bis bereavement, and brought in a veediotfor the defendant. MATTERS CANADIAN (FROM "TRUTH." Here is an extract of a letter from Canada, which gives' an aeooant of tobogganing :—"The Governor Gener- al tried his hand at it, and a bit of his Goat got loose somehow under the tob- oggan, which is always fatal. Over he went in the steepestpart of the second plunge, but pickily the snow was too soft to hurt. Then lie took it into his bead to try gcing down a shorter hill with aju'np right on the skating rink. We tried hard to dise+nade hien, for persons are shot oft with such Ian im- petus on, tete ice is a very different landing to the soft snow, and we knew what 'would happen if the Princess naught sight cf"hire. However, off he went; the toboggan rose straight in the snow like a horse does at a fence, shot en the ice and right aerobe the rink all safe. Then several gentlemen followed him. By tttistirue up came thePrineess who we had hoped wag safe at the bet. tom of the big slide and too busy haul ing up her toboggan to notice us. Of course, nothing would suit her hut she must try it M that intent herself, so all that could be done was to level the snow bank a little, so as to make the toboggan jump a little leas violently, and put some one to catch her on the ether side and off tins went. Luckily she kept the toboggan quite straight end set like a rock, so she spun across right to the curling ritik, where the long -stop, as he was chrietened,oaught and broke her emelt, wlii.e'n might l otherwise have damaged the toboggan, I She is wonderfully pleek.y, but his Ex. 1 *ellency forbid her try it anymore.

ENGLAND. NEEDS PROTECTION. The third volume of the reports on the Philadelphita Internationrtl thibi- tion is issued by the Education Depart - meet. We aro told in one of them that the classes ootnprisingoettonyarns and fabrics showed in a striking man - tier the wonderful progress made by the cotton industry of the United States and the remarkable degree of the per- fectien which has already been attaiued. These are 'natters of considerable inter- est to the rcnnufnotnroi's and operatives engaged in the cotton trade in this en'1'lt7, a.rnt ton nlnoh attention CCM. eat be glVau to them, There wits a comparatively meagre or llriotion. of cot. ton fabrics sent bl' k ui land, and this is attributed chiefly to exoossive pro- tective tariffs, which still prevail in the United States. It trill not fturpl'iso many people, ire this country at all events, to tear' that the general ex- cellence, and, in some asses, the super- iority, of the English display left no doubt upon the mind of the reporter the English manufacturers have troths ing to fear " whenever they can meet ou equal tertius, with a fair field and no favor." It would appear from this, however, that so long as the United States chose to continue their protect- ive system English mauufaetnres,whose ports are freely opeu to the eompetitiou of the whole world, will have to meet their rivals on unequal and unfair terms, and that they will, therefore, necessarily htive something to fear. That we shall be unable to hold our own, even wader such oitcnrnstancaa, remains to be seen, though it is obvious that if English manufnoturors were placed upon an equal footing with their rivals abroad they wonld be able to extend their trade and achieve successes which the exis- ting state of thiogs renders impossible. FOR HUSBANDS. Don't think when you have won a wife that yon have also won a slave. Don't think that you can dispense with the little civilities of life towards her you marry. She appreciates those things quite as mull as other women. Don't bo gruff and rade at home. Had yon been that sort of a fellow be- fore marriage,the probabilities are that yon would its sewing on your buttons still. Don't melte your wife feel that she is an incumbrance on you by giving grudgingly. What she needs give as cheerfully as Hie were a lrloasttre so to do. She will feel better, and so will yen. Don't meddle in the affairs of the horse under her charge. You have no more right to be poking your nose into the kitchen than she has to walk into your place of business and give ..lirece7 tions to your employees. Di'n't find fault with her extrava- gince in ribbons, etc,. until you llltvo shut down on cigars, tobacco, beer, Sze. Don't leave your wife at home to nurse the children on the scarp of econ- omy while yon b, 1t down town atnights to see the show, or spend a dollar on billiards, Don't holt your supper, and hurry off to attend evenings, lounging 'engird away from your wife. Before marriage you eould'nt spend year evenings on- oug'h with her. Don't prowl in the leafng,resorts till midnight wasting your time in (minable idleness, leaving your wife lonely at home to brood over your neglect and her disappointment. Doii't think that board and clothes are snfficievt for all a wife does for you. WITHOUT NEWSPAPER. An exchange says: --Nothing presents a sadder coltmentary upon the present NE.
