SPEECH FROM1, THE TI1RONE-
A8 the opening of the Dominion Parlia-
ment His Excellency read the following
speech, first in English and then in
French: --
Hon. gentlemen of the Senate and
gentlemen of the House of Commons
The necessity of malting provisions for
the publio ssrvioe bee compelled me to
eummon you together at this somewhat
00
in nvenlent season.
It is impossible to lay before you at
this session the public accounts for bbe
past year, or indeed any of the reports
usually submitted to Parliament. Tinder
these circumstances and in view of the
foot that you will be required to re -as-
semble eatly in the ensuing year it does
not appear expedient to invite your at-
tention to any measures beyond the
passage of the supplies.
The operation of the tariff will be
made the subject of careful enquiry
during the rocas, with a view to the
preparation of meth a measure as may
without doing injustice to any interest,
materially lighten the burden of the
people.
Immediate steps will be taken to effect
a settlement of the Manitoba Pcbool
question, and I have every oonfidence
that when Parliament next assembles
this important controversy will have
been adjusted satisfactorily.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons :
The estimates for the current year
will be laid before you forthwith.
Honorable gentlemen of the Senate,
and gentlemen of the House of Com-
mons
I hope that when you will have given
the necessary attention to the consider-
ation of the year's supplies, I maybe able
to relieve you from the duty of further
attendance at thio session of Parliament,
Dog and Horse Fight.
Thursday morning John Dillon's big
bulldog, which had been chained all
night In a box stall in the City Hotel
stables, Stratford, broke loose and got
out. The family horse was in another
stall just norm the way, and the liber-
ated bull -dog attacked it in a most viol•
one manner. A desperate conflict fol.
lowed.
Nobody saw the beginning ; but when
the hostler first entered, the horse was
pretty badly used up. The animal was
in a foam of sweat, and his jaws were
terribly torn. The horse's forefeet were
his only defence, and that Le used them
wee evident by the state of the dog's
body, but the poor animal was tied in his
stall and was therefore handicapped.
Quito a crowd of spectators soon gather-
ed, but beyond a few chance blows at the
dog no effectual work was done, until
someone was thoughtful enough and
courageous enough to untie the horse.
Then the fight was oontioued on more
equal terms, but the horse by that time
was pretty weil fagged out, and kept up
principally :a defensive warfare. Time
after time be was able to. free himself
from the dog's terrible jaws. but nothing
Geoid induce the brute to desist. Once
the course of the battle brought the
dog within range of the heels of a colt
that was in the stable. Out went the
heels with unerring vein, and the dog was
kioked clean across to the opposite end'
of the stable. Stunned and breathless
the brute limped baok to the combat and
succeeded in getting a hold on the horse's
under Hp. .Everybody knows what the
grip of a bull -dog ie. Somebody inserted
the handle of a pitchfork in the brute's
month and tried to pry his jaws open,
but bo failed to move them.
Finally Maurice Dillon was made ac-
quainted with the facts. He charged
down on the dog with a four -pronged
pitchfork, and jabbed it again and again
into the brute's body ; bat apparently it
bad no effect on him. Then Homebody
got an axe and began to chop the brute.
Even this did not seem to interfere with
the brute's besinese for some tfine, for
be kept right on. Of coarse be was
finally killed, but while he showed signs
of life be allowed signs of fight.
The poor horse's head was lacerated
in 0. terrible manner. Ito tongue has
three cute in it, each several inches,
while its lower jaw is chewed almost to
pitae0. It will have to be tenderly num.
ed for some time, and may have to be
killed.
The dog bad been around the place for
over a year. A man who wanted Mr.
Dillon to wept 11$20 for him was to bays
palled at the hotel to see the dog Friday
morning.
'When the horse was being led out after
the eonffiet it noticed the dead body of
the dog on the floor, and, wheeling sud-
denly around, it let fly both heels at the
vanquished antagonist, with a vigor that
showed munistakably that it was meant.
The boat of an old man named 7ohm
eon was run down in the St. Lawrence by
the steamer Alert, of Clayton, end Mr.
Johnson was drowned.

Dr. Snyder first ascended the Congo
Elver to l,uabo, Ho then travelled ap
the Congo river a three days' journey, to
a point where he first learned of the lake.
It wee a magnificent body of water, 1c'
gated on the opposite aide of the Congo
river, from the town of Ltiabo. The lake
NM not visible to the naked eye from the
Congo river bank on noccunt of the hills
and dense forests, Dr. Snyder was not
able to disoover the outlet, bub it 20 be-
lieved that ib ie &invented with the Congo
fiver, in some manner, by an -under'
ground stream, Dr. Snyder decided to
honer the Southern Presbyterian Board
of Missions by naming the lake after the
President of that organization,
Mre. Snyder accompanied her husband
on the perilous journey, and they travel-
ed throngh vest etretobes of wilderness.
In many instances Dr. Snyder and his
wife were regarded by the blaoke es
euperior beings, while everywhere their
visit attritched the greatest ouriosity
among the natives. Mrs. Snyder passed
through the hardships of the trip to the
interior without difficulty, but died at
Leopardsville, ou the return journey,
having contracted a miasmatic fever in
the regions of the Lower Congo.
The missionary brought many objects
of interest back with him. One of the
things that hos attracted most attention
ie a beetle, eighteen inohee long. On ao-
count of its peculiar shape Dr, Snyder
terms it "the walking -stick beetle.”
During hie stay at Lnabo several tribes
combined against the Belgians, who
dominate the Lower Congo region. The
Belgians bravely y defended
the town
against the natives, though the blacks at
one time occupied a portion of Limbo.
Dr. Snyder himself barricaded a house
in which he was living. Ile was not able
to leave the house for several days, on
account of the proximity of the warlike
natives.

The Wine and Spirit Gazette, of New

An eminent living statesman was once

House of Commons after drinking three
bottles of port. Be replied :—"You

There are ninety thousand barmaids

"One of the strongest advocates that
