In hie opinion the tempo ante people were often more intomper in their language than the liquor mon their trade.

The start wa8 made at the old market square and after parading several. streets marched to the Recreation grounds, It was a pretty sight, the bright uniforms contrasting with the pure white, and wins well ar- ranged throughout. The procession fol- lowed the cinder path ou rho grounds, when the 001310t'a and children formed up on the sward. The speakers of the day occupied chairs on the large platform and the choir found comfortable seats on the grand stand, all awaiting the coning of the Queen, who, in the person of Mrs. E.

"God Save the Queen" teas sung and Mayor Scott delivered a nicely worded addross of welcome.

A cheer went up for the veteran, who offered a few remarks mud took his seat. Short, patriotic addresses followed by Rev. Mr. Hodgins, Rev. Fr. Kelly, Rev. Dr. McDonald and Rev. lir.

This has boon objected to fora long time. At the ]net Supreme Lodge in Buffalo a change was made in the shale of fees to be collected, giving Ontario no ohanoe to get baokany portion of the money paid. The Grand Lodge farmed a resolution to separate thomselvee from tlto Supreme Lodge as far as financial interests were Concerned, and to morielized the Supreme Lodge, lately in 0e0sion at Milwaukee, to this effeot, and asking that fraternal re. lotions be retained.

Some two or three months ago I made up my mind that I would eat at least a piece of bread fruit out of cariosity, so I requested a little Indian mall clerk acquaintance of !nine to bring me one from town. When he gave it to me ho laughed and said I wouldn't like it. That evening I invited several of my acquaintances bo my room to help eat my new purchase, all of them being as ignorant about bread fruit as mysoli excepting one, and he was going to pilot the rest and show us the parts we should eat. It was all a miserable failure as the fruit seemed almost like a big ohunk of soft glue. The follow who know bread fruit said I had been beaten and given a poor article, so w0 fired it out of doors. A week later I asked my nigger fireman if he had ever eaten bread frail. He said not here but he had in Virginia, and that he liked it. I told hint about my experience and he seemed to think it queer and asked mo how I bac! it cooked. I seta, cooked 1 Why S hadn't 11 cooked at all. Do they cook bread fruit?

This is the commencement of our rainy or Winter season, and it rains almost every clay, usually in the afternoons. Times are not as good iu this Re ublio as they were when I first came. Many of the industries are closing their doors and reduoing their forces. Nearly all Government publio works have been stopped end many of the soldiers and other Government employees have not been paid for mouths. A few days ago the President, iu behalf of the Govern. meet, made a forced loan on the banks of the Republic for 1} million dollars and there seems to be considerable dissatis. faction about it among som0of the people.
