FRIDAY, A LTG. 80, 1889.
Ir)ass come out in the investigation
that men working on the Welland Canal
one day took a fanny for beer. They had
been drinking canal water until it palled
upon them and their appetite craved
beer. An obliging foreman, pained to
see his hands harrassed with a great
thirst, ordered a keg of beer from a
neighboring ealoot-keeper, and in return
generously put the saleon.keeper's name
oa the pay -sheet for one day's pay. This
accounts for the report which was cir-
eulated some time ago that there was a
beer allowance on Government work in
Canada.- Toronto News.

Tim -Government Printing Office
Bureau at Ottawa established by the
Dominion Government, appears to be a
vete Qlfllcuit affair to handle, and will
certainly be nothing but a bill of ex.
pense to the country. Even the Govern-
ment organs are not blind to the in-
iquities of such a system and the Mont-
real Gazette urges that the demand of
the Government printers to be placed
upon the list of public employees en-
titled to superannuation should be stern.
ly refused, and that the aspiration of the
bureau printers for higher wages than
thoee paid in abet' printing offices should
be nipped in the bud. "If the printing
bureau til enei1t°' a refuge for in.
competent workmen who may have ren-
dered some party political service" says
the Gazette, "or of it falls under the
domination of political thugs, its useful-
ness is at an end. The Experiment of
establishing the bureau was hazardous
enough, and speedy and complete failure
can only be avoided by managing
the office strictly upon business prin.
elides."
Tns change in the tone of the German
official press toward England is very re.
markable. Prince Bismarck's "reptiles"
have bean completely charmed by some
means, and Germany seems inclined to
really curb the aggressive spirit of her
colonizers, which was directed largely
against Great Britain. All the English
papers remark upon the extraordinarily
pleasant and kindly manners of the
Emperor. His air of filial deference to
the Queen, his kindly banter with his
cousins, the princes and princessess of
Wales, and his display of his appreci-
ation of kindly attentions from the
people are commented upon as so differ.
ent from what English people generally
expected. England and Germany should
be friends, but after all Great Britain's
future is bound up with that of the
United States and Canada, Australia
and South Afrioa, and not with that of
any of the continental powers of Europe.
If Prince Albert Victor fell in love with
a good American girl and were allowed
to marry her it would be the best alliance
possible so far as alliance of nations can
be concerned in alliances of their rule re.

Samuel Kerslake, of the tenth line,

some of the sweat off his hands into his

examined by a special oculist and found
to be damaged beyond repair. The
damaged organ was at onto removed and
an artificial ono inserted' in its place.

themselves, who seemed to be very
anxious to keep out of their reach +and
urged their steeu to the utmost. Failing
in this they tired upon those behind,
which seemed to have little effect, and at
last, when nearing a deep wood, they de.
camped, leaving horse and buggy behind.

and signed by many of the business men
asking the mayor to fix the 20th as the
day. The unnecessarily harsh wording
of the petition gave offence to the eounoil
and at a special meeting they reaffirmed
their first deoision. A majority of the
merchants declared they would not close
on the 20th, and the two councillors sent
in their resignation. The 20th however,
was finally fixed ata public meeting held
on Thursday evening last.

Wool delivered at the
Listowel Woolen, Ells.
Having been 15 years in business
here, it has always been my en-
deavor to pay higher prices than
the market allows, and in the
past years have paid city market
prices. Wool being so low in
price, it will afford me pleasure
to pay the highest price going.
In exchanging wool for goods will
allow a few cents more. Will
also guarantee to sell my goods
at cash prices. I don't have two
prices—cash and trade—my rule
is one price only. Bunning the
year round enables me to carry
