The Premier's Return. The Premier got a great reception from his constituents to Quebeo on Saturday. This reoeption was duplicated along the River St. Lawrence and in Montreal city. The Frenoh•Canadians always do these things well, and they are rightly exceed- ingly proud of the way the greatest of living Frenoh•Oanadians has conducted himself, and has been received in Britain and France. The newspaper men, of course, inter- viewed him on the steamer. "I think it was an index to the English character and a oredit to the English Nation, that the consummating ceremony of that day should have been the publio thanksgiving to Almighty God for the prosperity of the Nation," he said of the Jubilee day. He briefly reviewed the itnportant changes brought about by the preferential trade offer to Britain. "Canada is now be- ginning an entirely new career, not only fn England, bat in Europe. The nenun- ciation of the German and Belgian treaties at the request of Canada has created a profound impression all over Europe. Without exaggeration I can say that Canada is thus reoognized as among the Nations. The feeling in Eng. land is very friendly towards Canada, and if my anticipations are not deceived we shall see a great flow of capital and population to Canada in the next few years: The great change fo the atti. tude of the British Government towards the German and Belgian treaties was un- doubtedly due to Canada's action. The fast line service was practically assured, he -V.A. "The French people have al- ways been very friendly in their dieposi• tion towards Canadians, and are now still more so, but I am sorry to say that Canada is not as well known to French- men as it ought to be, and, perbape, I may eberieb the hope that my visit to France may have dispelled a few of the false notions which may have existed prior to that time." He spoke of the wonderful impression made on him by the Queen, Mr. Gladstone and the Pope. Sir Wilfrid wants all Canadians allied to further the material prosperity which seems coming to Canada. So Say we all.

That cat coat US money, and he was getting int enough to make us loop forward to Thanksgiving dinner with more than ordinary feelinge of gustatory delight. Don't throw away the boots you have been working in all summer. We oan as- sure new -comers to our vicinity that while turkey is a good thing for a Christ. mas dinner, a pair of well•boiled and seasoned boots, heavy leather preferred, are a great deal better than no dinner. We have boon here before. Little Johnnie, the bright and intent. gent three-year•old son of our esteemed fellow townsman, C. H. Jinkins, who was so seriouely oboked on it nugget of gold the hired girl caroteeely left lying on the kitchen floor, whore the child was play ing, is, we are glad to say, improving. 11.1. Merman's spirited team of rein. deers ran away yesterday afternoon on Yukon avenue, extended, while bringing a load of gold dust to town, and scattered the yellow sediment around the landscape to such an extent that several residents from the States living out that way grew quite homesick, it wag so remindful to them of the goldenrod, which is their national flower, At a recant reception in this oily of our eliteet sot, the lion of the evening was G, Washington Wellington of the tnited Statee, and be was thus honored and lionized beoauto be was the only man present who Wae not a millionaire.

Any person wishing to exchange It pane of glass that eine for the nugget will please call' at this oifioe before the arrival of the oold wave, ancg POLL OP MUT. "Many men are falling by the wayside. Many turning book ; many more will not make it. Men without horses are selling outfits at Seattle prices and lees. They will drop back at home as if by night and will have nothing to say more of Klon' dike. Some even with horses are Belling and dropping out. The task is more than they are capable of surmounting. Some are quitting after they have packed their milks over the Brat big hill. The trail of the Skagway today ie lined with im. pediments from the salt water to this place—coats, hate, plaice, ehovele, lumber, boats, window glass, tin cane, gripe mod valises, everything imaginable fn piece, meal, not to apeak of the tone and tone of supplies oaohed at every 100 feet of the dietanee. One man may have hie outfit at a dozen different pieties and scattered for five miles. He will throw down a load anywhere. No one will molest it ; every man has more than he wants of his own. A man could enter on the Skag- way trail this morning and buy a dozen outfits cheaper than he could buy half a dozen in Seattle. Bet, in Pape of it all, there are men here with grit who will stay 'if it takes all summer. They will, if they live, see Klondike sometime. These men, without horses, are steadily, day by day, carrying 100 -pound packs on their backs up the steep mountain aides, gaining step by step—a mile to -day, half a mile tomorrow and so on. One crowd of nix strapping Nanailno boys have in this way brought all their supplies this far from the beach, and not a pound was carried otherwise than on their backs, and in nearly every instance in 100. pound packs. There are some Seattle boys like them." Golro ic. Potatoes are rotting in the ground. Jae. Leech is having a new roof put on his block.

Match, our enterprising butcher, met with an aooidont whioh might have proved serious.

The old fire engine "Union," was tok- en from its resting plate in the market house and during last week was over. hauled and polished till it looked like new. Many old residents will no doubt have fond redolloobions of the days when this engine woe worked by about a soon of lusty boys and mon. That there is a large field opening up in the Northwest for household furniture is proved by the large shipments made by the Kensington furniture factory. All this season the sales in Alberta have been very brisk and during last week over two oarloadt were shipped, and thie week several oonsignmenta have been sent out there.

An en- gaged girl may feel awful Bare of every- thing, bot she doesn't eat many onions till after the gets married. After a girl has once decided that she won't have a man if he asks her she will never forgive him for not asking her. A rainy day costume ie an excuse for a woman to have all the men look at her without having all the other women out her. A woman's idea of pleasure is to swing on the porch in a hammock, in a white dress, and watch her husband setting out planta for bor. About five minutes after a man has started an argument with a woman he feels as helplessly mad as he does when he has leaned up against some fresh paint with nobody near to hear him swear.

"Several years ago, while in Fort Snelling, Minn., I caught a severe cold, attended with a terrible cough, that allowed me no rest day or night, The doctors after exhaust.. ing thrlr remedies, proaounoed my ease hopeless, say- ing they could do no more for me. At this time a bottle of AYER'S Cherry Pectoralwas sent to me by a friend who urged d l•''�» me to take it, which I did, and soon after I was greatly relieved, and in a short time was completely cured.
