Father Maddigan, who was a resident elf Cayuga at the time. This wae away back in 1856 or so, when talk of Townsend was to be heard on every hand and people were in a state of apprehension lest they should be confronttd by the man who had made iiinziame a terror by his daring crimes. The story is this : Myles Fallen was teaming for David Thompson, the !miller of Cayuga, who afterwards became member of Parlia- ment for Haldimand. Thompson did his banking business at Molson Bank in riftsmilten, and Myles Arden was sent from Cayuga to Hamilton to draw 32,000, which was needed to boy grain entla at the mill Myles got the money and set out' on his return journesy, feeling a little 11CTS7011S lest he should be met and robbed by the Townsend gang like so many farmers who had travelled the same road. Sure emough, as Myles was jogging.along behind his team, some one suddenly jumped from one side of the road and grasped the bridle, while at the Dame moment he heard the cocking of a pistol at the other side. One glance was sufficiene to tell him that he was in the hands of the Philistines, and the shiniog, barrel of thepistol was enough, to set all his Irish wit at work. The robbers evidently knew lent, Myles had gone to Hamilton for something and were on the lookout for him. The hour was sundown and the spot was a lonely place M the road, and Myles was wondering if he would ever see Cayuga again. Suddenly he celled out, on the spur the moment, Atn I on the rightroad to nville ? ' although he had no more inten- ton going to Dunnville than he had of turning back to Hamilton. But this was enough to turn the thoughts of the two rob- bers for an instant. They knew that the man they were after was going to Cayuga, not to Denville, and one of them said, "Why, are you going to Dunnville ?" while the other, who held the pistol, none other than Townsend himself, muttered an o ath and remarked, "It's tho wrong man." No sooner had the first man released his hold of the horse's bridle than slash went Myleswhip over the horses' backs, and away they 'went at a bound and a gallop, and in less time than it takes to tell it edylee was safe out of bermes way, although the sound of the pistol and the whizzing of the bullets made bine feel' uncomfortable until he got beyond range. When he reached C/ayuga his team was white with foam, hut he landed the $2,000 safely in Mr. Thompson's office, and was a big man in the eyes of Inc neighbors for the way he had fooled the Townsend gang on the high- w ay. --Dundas Banner.

At Play In a Saud Pit, the Banks el Which Caved A.11., A Toronto report says: A tied accident occurred on Shannon street yesterday after- noon, when three young bop were suffo- cated in a sand bank. Two sons of ex-Ald. Lucas—Earnest and Alfred—aged 11 and 8 year; and !Emmy Prittie, aged 11 years, son of Mr. 11. W. Prittie, 149 Shannon street, had been playing with some other boys in a mind pit on Shannon street, when the bank sieved in and eufliamted the three of them. One of the bops named Ramsay rag to Mr. Pritticee house and notified the family of what had occurred. Assistance was quickly at hand, but it came too late, Dr. Ray, Dr. Hunter, and several other doctors wore on hand shortly afterwards, but, though they worked hard their efforts were in vain. The youngest son of Mr. Lucas was alive when rescued from the pit, but he was too far gone to be revived. The sand pit is in a vacant lot on Shannon street, where a cellar had been dug out and left open, and the boys while playing in the sand on Thursday had dug a pit while the sand was wet, but yesterday the sand being dry caved in. Mr. LAMS was seen last evening and ex- plained the affair. He said that he knew that his boys had been in the habit of,play- ing there, but never for a moment suspected that there was any danger. He saw one of his boys going over to the bank yesterday as he was going down town, and called to lihn to put back a shovel he had with him. He was down town attending to some business when he was telephoned that his boys had been hurt, one of them seriously, and on hurrying back he found that two of them had been suffocated. The first intimation Mrs. Lucas had of it was bei' a young man named Gamble, living on Bay street, who told her what had occurred, and shortly after the bodies of her two Wye were carried home lifeless. Mrs. Lucas is prostrated with grief, and has been attended by the doctor ever since the accident oc- curred, but she can hardly realize as yet that it is true. Henry Prittie had been in the house with his mother not ten minutes before the acci- dent occurred, but had gone out to join his playmates. Mr. Lucas says the boys had just gone into the pit, and noticing it caving in had called to the other boys, who drew back in time to avert the danger. The men who came to the assistance of the boys worked hard for them, and the doctors used 11, galvanic battery to try and restore them, but it was of no avaiL The youngest son of Mr. Lucas is slightly disfigured by the fall of the sand, but the other two boys look perfectly natural. The funeral of Mr. Lucashsons will take place on Monday afternoon from the family residence at 4• o'clock for the Necropolis, and that of Henry Prittie on Monday morning be the Necropolis. TELE INSOILVENCT Blau Corteerenee of Contnnittees of Boards of Trade. A conference of committees, from the Montreal, Hamilton, London and Toronto Boards of Trade, was in 'melon in the council chamber of the Board of Trade, Toronto, all day yeaterday.

BOW To zon EGGS. The Bight Way Is llot to Boil Them at All, Strange to Sal. Oar woman—and her household weys are the wonder and envy of her friends—says the right way to boil eggs is not to boil them at all. First put the eggs into a wire basket with a tall handle; that saves the time and vexation of fishing them out with 11 spoon when cooked. Then set the basket with the eggs in a kettleorother vessel, with cold water enough to cover the eggs—not hot water, or warm water, but cold water. Set the vessel over a brisk fire. Do not let the water boil, only just "come to boil," and at that particular time—not before, not later—the eggs will be conked as they should be.—Pitisburg .De - spate& Tomato Soap.

A Toronto Boa Sent to Jail for Tanaperbig With IS. The following is from the Toronto Mail ; " A case of a very peculiar charaoter was tried by Police Magistrate Denison yester- day. Thomas Littlehales, of Hamilton, was the owner of what he believed to be a very valuable violin, a genuine Guadegnini. On the 21st of Februery last he confided thin instrument to Albert Riechers, of 4 McCaul street, a skilful maker and repairer of vio- lins, for the purpose of having it cleaned and repaired. A few weeks ago an instru- ment was returned to Littlehales, purport- ing to be the one he had had before, but upon examining it be came to the conclusion that the belly, and possibly the back, of his violin had been taken out and another fraudulently substituted therefor. The courgaoom was crowded with violin makers and players, who had been suunnoried to give expert evidence, and the ease lasted until 5 o'clock in the evening. The owner of the violin testified positively that the belly of the instrument returned to him wee not the original, but that about the back he could not be certain. If a substi- tution had been made it had been doze with great skill, for a majority of the witnesses were unable to state whether the part had been tampered with or not. The Magistrate deemed the evidence sufficient to justify it conviction and sent Riechers to jail for thirty days. UO1TSEE'oc1!

An Illuminating Advertisement. A real estate agent of Portland, Oregon, throws it brilliant ray of light upon the vexed question of land values by the follow- ing advertisement : Land at Two Cents an Acre.—Eighty- nine years ago, on the 30th of April, one Monroe parchased from it French gentleman by the name of Bonaparte, about 755,000,000 acres of land at about two cents per acre. Such cities as Omaha, Denver, New Orleans, Kansas City, St. Louis and St. Paul are built upon this land, and fifteen acres in St. Louis are now worth more than the whole tract sold for in 1803. Two cents an acre 1 And yet it was pro- bably worth no more. Why? Simply be- cause it had no population, or none to speak of. What is it worth now? One could scarcely understand the figures if the value was set down, so vast would the sum be. What caused the increase? Population. All land values are created and maintained by population, and when the population de- parts the values are wiped out. What follows ? 11 must be true that values grow in direct proportion to increase in population. -What is the deduction ? That land bought where the population is increasing must make money in direct proportion to each Wormier. Keep an eye on Oregon. Everything points to the fact that Oregon, during the nerd five years, will have the best growth of any State in the Union. All eyes are turned her way. The tide has been some- what slow in setting this way, but it has been rolling in slowly for two years, and is rising, rising, rising each day. And Portland? Portland is not only the metropolis of Oregon, but of the entire Piteifits Northwest, and her growth will be rapid, steady and substantial. VVhat most you do If you wish to make a large profit, and at the seine time have your money ests safe as though it was in Gov- ernment bonds, buy property in Portland." If land values are created and maintained by population, by what right do part of the population reap all the advaintago.—N. T. Standard White Women and Indians. The British Columbia Indians have been enfranchised. The Act provides that an Indian, over 21 years of age, desiring to become enfranchised, shall obtain a certifi- cate from the agent of his band that he has been for five years a person of good, moral character, temperate and of sufficient intel- ligence to be qualified to hold land in fee simple. That certificate i3submitted to the council of the lewd, and if approved is sent to the superintendent -general, who shall, if satisfied with the evidence, grant the applicant it 10CatiOn ticket for the land occu- pied by him. The Indian must then serve a probationary term of three years, at the expiration of which he is to be granted letters patent for his land, and, having chosen a name by which he will thereafter be known, will be entitled to the franchise and be relieved of all disabilities which have previously distinguished him from the other subjects of Her Majesty. In fact, he then becomes a full fledged citizen of the empire upon an equal footing with every other voter. We know of a class well qualified by intelligence, property holders, some of them owning farms, tax payers'employers of labor, tehipera,te, needing no three years probation, but who are refined the franchise because—they ate women --M S.

At the mines, he says, the laborers were watched by armed men, and when one lagged in his work he was mercilessly flogged. He saw three men flogged into insensibility. Such exceseiee prices were charged at the company's store for food that, although his wagers were reckoned at $1.25 a dem, he received only $4.50 for his labor from December 1711h to March 18118.

In last Thursday's game at least five hits that fell safe in loft field would have been easy outs if any fair fielder played that position. His judgment on a fly ball is very bad, and when he finally does judge the ball he is slow to get under it. Tip will probably not last out the season in the league. The class is much too fast for him. Horsemen of Manitoba are arranging for a big radio meeting a.t Winnipeg this year, and, as the purses are very large, expect many entries from Eastern Canada. They are after " ringers " and the own- ers of ringers " in Kentucky.

An Ottawa despatch says: Beim te Committee on Agriculture and Colonization to -day, Professor Robertson, Dominion Dairy Commissioner, gave evidence in regard to the season's work. Since hia appoint- ment two years ago, he said; there is a grow- ing interest taken in dairying throughout the Dominion. His appointment was in the first instance for the purpose of delivering lectures .On agriculture generally, during 1891. His branch of the experimental farm had addressed 291 meetings. They also . . muted 194 cheese factories and creameries. The result of this was a great improvement in the buildings and better peoinctions. In Ontario they had given Instructions in seventy-five factories last year with the view of making the best article as well as the largest quantity from the milk, they showed how to make half a pound more cheese from every hundred ponndo of milk without inereasing the ex- pense. Cheese had been sent from the stations at Perth and London Ont., to England, and sold well. Referring to some experiments made in connection with feed, he showed that the milk could be altered in richness and color, but bob in regard to solids. Farmers in the vicinity of Mount Elgin dairy station, had received 15 cents monthly for their but. ter on account, and the butter on beiug eent to England and British Columbia had yielded them 24 and 25 cents net perpound. In the course of it few years he intimated that $5,000,000 worth of butter might be tent to England. In the meantime England imported $56,000,000 worth of butter, and 40pet cent. of thiscame from Denmark. The Danish butter realized 103. more per 112 pounds than ' the Canadian article. Our butter was equal to the Danish in every re - sped, with the exception of the rosy appear- ance and [levet which seemed to take better in the English market.

Do you ever stend before your mirror and heave a sigh of regret at your lack of rounclnees of fice and term which is so apparent? If you do so you may find consolation at hearing of a system of putting on flesh" as employed with satisfactory results by a number of people. Briefly, you go to bed and allow yourself to be fed' up.

The cares of State did not prevent him faithfully ob- serving family worship, he himself in tubi devoutly leading our devotions. A snake has been foundin Ireland at last.
