Among the recent arrivals at the Russ house there is none probably who has so odd a mission as J. P. Ma0assy, of Cin. oinnati. Mr. MoOassy is now on his way around the world, having made a wager with several merobants of Cincinnati that he could encircle the globe in eighteen twenty (1ays, lout that be will speculate in jewelry ie certain, Ile will then go 0 Seam, where be will visit Ibobert Louis Stevenson, and after v. brief stay at ,Apia, he will tackle Siam, It is his purpose then to go to Aipeltland and thence' to Sydney and other cities of Q.ustralia, remaining long enough in eaoh plane to turn an honest penny. ' After leaving Australia, MoOaosy goes to Gal. outta and thence to Zanzibar, llgypt, Jerusalem, Jaffa and Oonstantinople. Each leading city in Aucope will be visit. Od in turn, and the sohedulo time adhered to so ae to alines the traveller 00 reach home no later than noon on Noxell 8, 1896. "While my primary object," said Mo. Camay, "is te win my wager of 55000, I have another purpose in view. I will oolleot valuable material concerning the people and lands visited by me, and, I presume, write a book detailing my ex. perienooe and the facts I have colleoted. My intention is to deliver lootures on my return home, but title is subject to future developments,' "What do you think of the Fair ?" "I think it is one of three great events of American history of the nineteenth century. The first is the World's Fair, the eeoond the opening of the Cherokee strip and the third the California mid- winter International Exposition, It is certainly an enterprise which will result in inoaloulable benefit to California, and its projeotors deserve the greatest credit, I oannot understand the reason for certain opposition which had developed, but 1 oan appreciate the harm these attaolte will have upon the standing of California else- where. Any enterprise that does good to the general public should be fostered, and the Fair is doing much to inorease the prosperity of California. Let the people support it, by all means." Mr, MaCasey states that he is favorably impressed with California and were it not for hie wager it would be a toes -up with him whether or not to make it his future hom0. months and matte $5000 over and above his expense or forfeit $5000. Mr. MaCasey ie a member of the firm of McCassy Bros., at the corner of Main and seconds streets, Cincinnati. He is also well-known as a newspaper man in that city, being epeeial correspondent of thelCincinnati Tribune and of the Thea - tical Record of Indianapolis, owned and controlled by the Iter -state Press Assooja. tion of Illinois. During last Bummer he oonceived the idea of making a circuit of the globe within a stipulated time and also making money en route. In conversation with some fellow merchants the statement was made that no man could make a trip in eighteen months and in the same time Darn $5000 in excess of his expenditures. McCaesy had sufficient confidence in him- self to take a contrary view and he en- forced it by offering to wager $5000 that be could do 1t im the time and under the conditions named. The wager was ac- cepted, and with only $300 in his pocket MoCasey left Cincinnati oa hie journey on. September 8, 1898. "I was first attracted to the Cherokee strip," said Mr. Mc0asey to a Chronicle representative last might. "I thought a few weeks' residence on the strip would be profiable to me, and for that season I went there with the boomers. I was miserably deceived however. As far as the eye could reach it was shocking to behold the hand to hand conflict for sup- remacy. Clubs, knives, guns and pistols were in constant •requisition. Claus of six to twelve would sweep down upon an honest settler and drive him off at the point of a revolver like a dog. It was wonderful what privations of food, drink, and shelter some women among the boomers endure in order to bold down a lot or claim. It was almost criminal 00 the part of the Government not to have bad wells provided at the various points to supply water for the multitude. The suffering of these poor people were in. tense." Mr. Motassy stated further that the Government calculated by new rules and regulations to obviate "akulldugery and soonerianr," but all was futile for the vast and valuable country was gobbled up by United States Deputy Marshals and sooners," who were packed by land spec. nlatore, syndicates and wealthy business men, rendering it impossible for a bona - fide settler upon a lot or a claim to make any headway. "I saw no opportunities for making money on the trip" continued, MoOassy "but on the contrary my funds were rapidly diminishing. I oould not resist the desire to assist many suffering women with financial aid, and when I saw that I would soon be as poor as the poorest boomer if I stayed another week, I deter. miued to leave for Chicago to take in the World's Fair." "What did you do there ? was asked. "I entered into businee of buying and selling railroad tlokets," answered Mo. Casey. "It was a good business too, and in a few dare I cleared $200 above my expenses. After seeing the Fair I went to Topeka, Kan., where the State fair was in progress. I sold some jewelry at the fair and made up a book on the races by which I cleaned up nearly $500. I then visited my brother, Dr. J. H. MoCasey, who is superintendent of the State Asylum for the Insane. I remained in Kansas three weeks and added a few hundred dollars more to my store." Leaving Kansas, McCassy went to Portland. Or., where he established an agency for sale of watches and jewelry, giving employment to three agents. "I was in Portland only three weeks; resumed he, "and I cleared over $500 on my venture. 1 took orders for my firm, the profits of wbioh are credited to my aeeonnt the same as if the money went into my own possession. This brought my earnings to nearly $1500 above my expenses within three months after leaving Cinoinnati." MaCasey travelledthrongh Washington and Oregon, selling jewelry and doing anything by which be could increase his capital, having in view the one idea of making up the required sum of 55000, without thinking of anything else. This once obtained, future travelling would prove comparatively easy. "I came to this city a short time ago," resumed MoOassy, and have already earned nearly $800 by selling my jewelry and in disposing of correspondence. I have now on deposit $1800 toward my $5000 and so far have paid all my expen. sea, I am confident that I will win my wager but I have discovered that I must hustle about lively to do it." MaOae ey will remain here until May 1st or thereabouts, when he will leave for Honolulu. Be has nob the slightest Mea what he will do there during his stay o A SCOTCH READING.

The aigie'0 an awfu' thing 1 it's a ter- rible thing 1 an' the way it gars ye shiver an' shake, an yer teeth rattle ,n yer bead like n pair o' olatterin' stinks, is just ex'- trordinar'. An' stick! it'll stick tae ye like a burr, an' though ye puzhin yersel wi' pheesio it'll no dao ye se grain o' gude. I tell ye neo, it's rte thing tae see folk shakin' wi' the aigie, but it's auither thing a'tbegither to be shakin' wi't your - see. Ye wad think neo to Bee a body gaun aboot wi' the aigie that there wasna mnckle wrong wi' them, but my certie 1 ante get it youreel' an' ye begin to think se touoh o' aigie maks the hale warld kis. The first time I tuk it I mind wee', it was on a Saturday, for Tam watt coortin' me then, an' I was gettiu' ready to gang till a concert wi' him. I wasna vera weel, an' I wasna vera ill, an' I wasna sarin' whether I gaed to the concert or no. However, no to disappoint Tam, an' so as he wadna be gaun wi' ony body else I geed. I felt a kin' o' (mald an' eerie a' nicht, but when we got to oor door an' Tam was just Bayiu' gude nicht,. I tuk simian an awfu' fit o' shiverin' an' shakin' that Tani had to throw his airms arouu' me an grip me close to keep me free shakin' to pieces. Then I.got a wee better, bot aye when he wad let go the ehiverin' wad oome on, an' my teeth wad chatter till he wad hae to hand me again, an' I declare it was near' ane o'clock in the mornin' afore the puir fallow got hame. Ye may be euro I was awfu' sorry for him. I didna gang to the kirk the neiet day, an' on Mouday I wasna just sae tivirieh as I wee, an' it was just oomin' doon gloamin' when in comes Tam. He was lookin' uncommon weal, but be wasawfu' anxious to hear hoo I was. so be cam' an' eat doon close beside me. "Sure's death," says he, "that aigie'e an' awfu' thing. My airms were that Bair on Saturday nicht wi' baudin' ye that I had to rub them wi' sweet oil a' Sunday. Hae ye had ony maim shakes sin syne ?" "No sue," says I. "weal, than, I'll wager ye a bawbee that the ehakee 'll come on the nicht again. Ye ken they come on ilka ither day or twa." "Ye'll better be gaun awe hame then, Tem," says I, "ye'1l ruin a' yer gude shirt sleeves of ye have to oil yer airms the morn' again." "Never mind aboot them sae lang as ye're comfortable,' says he, an' wi' that, whether it was wi' him apeakin' aboot'it or what I dinna ken, but as sure as I'm a livin woman the shakin' cam' on me there are then, an' he had to flee an' hand me as hard as he could. Heoh 1 but it was awtu'. Tam ran an' got a cork an' stuck it atween my teeth for fear o' lookjaw, an' than he eat doom at my back an' held me richt for two mortal'oor0. An' a' the time the gowk wad be whisperin' in my lug, "Od, Jenny, woman, I cud sit an' baud ye like this a' the days o' my life." Sure's death I didna ken whaur to look when he said that, but says I, speakin' the best way I could wi' a cork in my mooth, "Weal, if I keep on like this ye wadna hae me bang, for yo wad be a widow in a vera short time, Tam." I really dinna mind what time he got awe that nicht, but neist day he cam' in free his wark an' tellt me be kent an auld wife that had a cure for the aigie ; it was a great secret, but she wad tell onybody that was really very ill for haul-a•oroon. So I dressed myseP and Tam gaed doon wi' me to the door, but he wadna come in, The auld oretur made her livin' wi' tellin' fortunes an' sellin' cures for the aigie, but I declare I could hardly see her for dirt and cobwebs, an' she was sittin' emokin' when I geed in, an' a muokle black cat sleepin' on her ebouther. "There's two cures for the aigie, says she, "there's the whnskey, an' the ither ane." "I think I'll tak' the ither ane," Pays I, "bei¢' as I'm teetotal?' "Weel, than, gie me hauf•a-croon an' ye get it, but ye mai ma tell a Hain' Bowl aboot it or it'll dee ye nae gude. "Ye'll tak' a fig, a big ane, an' out it up an' howk the inside oot o't ; than ye'Il get a epeedar, ane o' thee mild speeders ye get doon in mild collate are oothooeeo, an' ye'11 pot the speeder inside the fig, olap the twa sides thogitbor, an' swallow the fig bale. That'll cure you or onybody o' the nigh'," "Weel, wham I nam' oot an' tellt Tam be glowered like me he'd seen a warlook, an' says be, "That beats a', but if 101 dee ye ony gude we'll try an' get ane, though they're terrible creturs for lin- nin' awe." Weel, Tam booht mea pund o' figs, an' we geed hame, are Hobbit a cannel an' gaud awa doon the cellar tae f look for an auld speeder. Tam, he oatdb'd three or four, blit they got awn. again, an' elle nam' rinnln' Goon my feet), an' T skirled like mad an' hong on to Tam, an' then the (tunnel felt doon, an' ¶Jam, be said be wished be had somebody to mend hie breoeh•pooulres, for be had loot every leeifor he had through the holes o' .them, Bo we (toeidna get thooannel Hobbit again, "Never mind the speeders, lot's it doon on the stair an' eat the figs withoot them," sage Tam ; e0 we eat doon on the cellar Maui' the dark an' began satin' „ he, "d 'ye ken n sive l A. t s "Jenny," the fig , A y,3 I'm fear'd yo'll talc' ane 0' the shako0 again," 'What gars ye think that ?" says I. "0 naething," says Tam, "but I think I'll keep my airms roond ye in case they should Dome," Noo T thoolit that was sae kind an' considerate o' Tom. Tam was aye vera considerate. So we sat an' oraokit a while an' then Tani says, "Jenny," Saye he, "d'ye ken I gaed to the dootor yeetreen an' tauld him that ye were that ill wi' the nigle that I had to baud ye for two mortal hoofs in my airms at a time. An' he said that the beet cure for a ease like yours was a plain gold ring, an'," says be, sllppin' a ring on my Unger,"let's get married at once, Jenny, for I'm siek h1ntin' speeders," an' a great lot maim he said, but I never had the aigie after that. Stratford Young Liberals. The public meeting last Friday evening under the auspices of the Young Liberals' Club was a groat success. The ball was crowded with & large and enthusiastic audience, who gave a hearty woloonie to 0. S. Hyman, 111. P., and George Gibbons, of London, who were the chief speakers. Mr. Hyman took the Ottawa Liberal platform as his text, and, following it point by point, made a strong appeal in favor of a more liberal fiscal policy. He charged the Government with framing a tariff which took no account of the rights of the consumer, but which in' every Re- tail of its ooustruotion showed the dicta- tion of the encouraged manufacturer, He proved that the effect of the system was to lay the heaviest burdens of taxa. tion on those least -able to bear them. By quoting statistics he showed that the tariff discriminated heavily against Great Britain. Be pointed out indications tbat the people were beginning to realize the tree nature of this plass legislation, and that the prospects of the Liberal party were moat cheering. Mr. Gibbons made a splendid speech on the trade question. He showed clearly the working of the Footer tariff ere a system which prohihited public revenue just to the extent to wbioh it succeeded from the protective standpoint, while it laid a heavy burden of taxation upon the massae of the people, wbioh, however, went to the combines and the privileged few instead of to the public treasury. He dwelt upon the advantages of Canada in natural resources, grand waterways and a vigorous and intelligent population, and illustrated in many ways how re- strictive tariffs prevented us from bene- fitting from these great natural opportun- ities. He referred to the Patrons of In- dustry as ungrateful to the Liberals, who had long fought in their interests, and denounced in scathing terms the unpat- riotic attitude of the P. P. A., which fo- mented racial quarrels, when all Cana- dians should unite in building up a pros- perous nationality by supporting sound principles of taxation and government. The newly organized Glee Club con- tributed greatly to the success of the gathering. Goderioh. A new set of market scales, to cost $140, has been purohased by the town Council.
