The Huron Expositor, 1886-05-14, Page 6Pat and his Three Matches. An Irishman who had only twopence Isalfpenny in his ,pocket, stepped into a public -house where the waiter was boast- ing to- some customers of being a man of kis word. Pat Ordered a half-pint, but not being teontent with so short a chink, and only having one penny left, he be- gan to think how he could get a drink out of the waiter. At last he found a plan. Approaching to where the waiter and his custoniers were speaking, he said to the foriner—"I'll bet you a penny, waiter, you won't say three matches to three questions I ask you ?" After some hesitation the waiter bet him a penny. fi How's your mother ?" said Pat. - "Three matches," said the waiter, "Howmuch do you think you're worth ?" said Pat. " Three matches," said the waiter. What will you take for a quart?" said Pat. Three matches," said the waiter. "Give me a quart ?" said Pat, laying down three matches, and. the penny he Jost by the bet. The waiter being a man of his word, hadto give Pat a (Inert. • Notes from the Northwest.- ssowrialini, Manitoba, April 20, 1886. , DEAlt EXEOSITOR,-As we are having such a beautiful Spring so far, I cannot refrain from giving your numerous read- ers a few notes regarding it. Allow me to mention at the outset that 1 am 4/ined to thinkthat if you Ontarions were favored with spring weather equal to ivhat we are enjoying, that you, per- haps, would be more favorably disposed towards your spring poets. But as Manitoba is too young to grow spring poets, we have to- worry along and be eontent to get off a little stele prose' now and then. Well, to return to the spring. The snow left in the last few days of March, and from that time up to the present date (April 20th) the weather has beeit everything that could be desired, and the result is that wheat 'reeding is far advanced to completion. Seeding began earnest the first week of April, although some few farmers sowed some the iast few days of March. 1 fancy I hear you say, not so bad when we corisider that they are north of the 49th parallel, in the land of fur coats, blizzards, and large possibilities. How- ever, it is a veryipleasant fact (I mean the spring), and is materially helping to shorten some of the long faces that have , been evaded around all winter. Thereii one feature in : connection with the seeding this spring that I am very much pleased 'to make a note of,• and that is this, that the farmers as a rule are paying more attention to thoroughly cultivating the land. In past instances I have knownwhere the seeder would be put to work right on the plowing without any rough harrow- ing, and perhaps only one stroke of the barrow afterwards. But it seems to be the general idea this spring that we as farmers must do our pert well and live in hopes of a good harvest. There aretwo questions that are upper- most at present in the minds of Mani- toba. farmers, and for my part I stead- fastly think that they will be solved at no distant day. The first; and I might say the most important, question is, Can we grow wheat without being e.aught by early frosts? From reading up reports of crops that were grown along the Red River for the last eigh- teen or twenty years, and from informa- tion gleaned by conversation with some ef the old-timers of the Red River settlement, I have come to the conclu- sion that we can successfully grow wheat, notwithstanding that we have suffered loss of two - crops out of three. That question disposed of, now for ,a shorter route to Liverpool, which comes second. -I need scarcely add that the 'Judson Bay route gives us the short eat, and will, if built, place us in the position of receiving as much per bushel or even, more than the Ontario farmers do. The people of Manitoba, irrespec- tive of party, are a unit on having the Hudson Bay Railroad built as soon as possible. Of course, you know that the Local Opposition tried to twist a sen- tence in a speech delivered by Hon. John Norqua,y at Emerson recently, and I trust you will also know that he put' himself right on the floor of the House the other day by stating that when the 'question was interjected by one of his audience that he had no reference what- ever to the Hudson Bay Railroad. It is rather unsettled air yet just how many months of the year the Hudson Bay is open for navigation. But some very eompetent authorities state that it is open long enough to warrant the build- ing of the road. Since I wrote you lest there has been a new station located on the Canadian Pacific Railway, Southwestern Exten- sion, west from Manitou. The new town site is situated in. the Pembina Valley, lying between the towns of Manitou and Pilot Mound, and is des- tined to be a central point, as I under- stand that the Canadian Pacific Rail- way officials intend to make it the end of a division and erect repair shops. It is rutnOred that this new town is to be christened Lariviere, after the Honor- able Minister of Agriculture of this _Province. It will be a decided advantage to the people of this district, as it is nearer, by some five or six miles, than any other reiiroad point, and a more sheltered road leading to it, as we will travel up the valley, having the banks as a protec- tion against the celebrated nor'weSterS. There are quite a large number of well- to-do settlers coming into Southern Manitoba this spring and locating along the new branch, and 7 also notice by the press that numbers are arriving and more to follow from foreign lands. Let them come, for we have -plenty of room, and they need. not fear the noble red man either, for the more I see of the Indians the more I think that " noble " applied to them is only a misnomer,for I fail to see anything noble about them, except, perhaps, that they are noble good feeders. A short time ago I was at Mapitou, and a Canada Pacific Rail- way engine was standing on the track, when an Indian and two squaws came up to it with wondering eyes, to view the steam liorse that rushes along where a few years ago they -hunted the buffalo, and I suppose the engineer felt in good spirits, and he let off amisthat caused only a 'slight but ridiculous sound, and that noble red man took to his heels, followed by the squaws, to the amuse - Meat of the small bays and some of the 7argeones too. lr I think that both political parties, no matter which one is in power at Ottawa, eihould join hands and assist in better- ing the lite -s relating to our Indians, for it is a question that will engage all the wise heads 'aisembled in Parliament - for the next decade or two. I might mention for the benefit of the ladies in Ontario that the ladies in Man- itoba by coming out here lose none of their accomplishments acquired in On- tario, such as being very intimate with the looking glass, knowing all the latest New York and Paris styles, and being fully alive to the fact of what some other lady wore at church, while they can also shoo" a hen with the same richness of voice that they used to in dear old On- tario. But perhaps I had better call a dead halt right here, as I have no very great inclination to have it become necessary for your humble servant to invest in a wig these Very stringent times. I remain yours truly, V(TELLINGTON BARBER. Burdette's Experience While iTravelling at Midnight. Possibly, dear reader, you never gazed into the nethermost depths of abysmal space palled in eternal, star- less, rayless gloom. You never did? Then it is of no earthly use for me to try to tell you how dark it was that night. And it was raining to keep up with the dark. - That's just how dark and wet it was. I had lectured in Farmington, Illinois, delivering an ad- dress which for spontaneous humor, brilliant wit, masterful eloquence and unanswerable logic has never been equaled since I began writing my own prees notices: After this effort of my life I had to drive to a station on the railway, ten or a dozen miles away. We started at midnight. The darkness de- scribed above set in at dusk: yes, it was that dark at twilight, and it had been growing darker ever since. And the darker it got the harder it rained, and the more it rained the darker it grew, until at length, the darkness could be soft felt and the rain was beaver or same kind of aquatic pelt. Waterproof, blanket and robe sheltered us from the rain, but it was hard work to keep the horses in the road. Our way lay right in the teeth of the storm and the horses kept trying to turn away from it. In the 'inky darkness we lost our bear-, ings. In the dim light, which was barely enough to make darkness visible, we came to a cross road, and the driver f dimly discerned a phantom guide boalrd. We could not read it; we could hari ly make out that it was a guide board. The driver was afraid to trust me with the horses while he went to see if he could read the sign. I looked at the flooded road and shrunk further , back into my nest of blanketseand water - i proofs. "infirm of purpose," I said, "give me the 'ribbons." I thrust him out in the 'storm, and laughed a laugh of exceedin comfort to if see him get his feet wet an muddy. I watched_hirn climb the post, and rub his nose along the guide board; I listened to him sw—r. By-and-by I heard him drop into the mud. _ He climbed into the buggy bringing with him about four acres of Great Dismal Swamp, and said : "1 can't made out a single letter. It's an old board, and all Greek to me; and I don't know where in thunder we are." . With a hollow groan I yielded to my fate. I crept out of my dry warm nest. The pitiless storm made a straight shoot down the back of my neck. supplying me with shudder a yard long. I waded through ten of twelve linear feet of mud and flood. My feet were soaked to the corn plasters. I was mud to the eyes:; my comfort was gone, but I roust get home. Painfully I climbed the. pole. Vainly I groped along the guide board with my nose. In the desperation of despair, I tried to light a pocketful of wet matches- by rubbing thern on the . sleeve of a dripping India .rubber over- coat, while I clung to the board with one hand. I knew if once I slid down that muddy, slippery pole I never could get up again. I wept, I groaned, I sighed' I-s—I-s-1 said—I—oh, dear me ! I said what the wieked driver did! At last just as my benumbed, wearied arms were losing their hold, a widening rift in the cloud let a pallid finger of light reach through and touch that delaying i guide board. "Now ?" shouted the driver encouragingly. I rallied, pulled myself up elose, and eagerly, hungrily picking out the letters, I read : - "Use Gambrel's --Spavin Cure." Fact and Rumor. —Forty-seven country houses, with shooting on over 245,000 acres, were lately advertised in one day's issue of a Scotch paper. —The `• frogs " on some of the rail- roads of Massachusetts are being filled with wood, in order to prevent people from catching their feet in them. —A Boston girl was thrown from her carriage, and in reply as to whether she was hurt said, "1 really believe I have fractured the extensor oasis metacarpi pollicis menus." She had broken her thumb. —A Philadelphia thief, ,who was ried on a charge of having stolen eight Bi lee, valued at $25, had the impudence t tell the , magistrate that he stole the 1ooks 44 to start a Sunday school doivn ii the Neck." —George Gaught,of the Indian Nation, returning to his home near Tahlequah after dark the other evening, heard a chikl's cry and the howl of wolves. He found his own little five-year-old daugh- ter, and not fifty feet away a pack of wolves. . —A small bey in Maine listened de- murely to the story of Samson's tying the firebrands to the tails of the foxes, and_then sending them through the Philistines' corn, and at the conclusion of ' the narrative asked innocently, " Auntie, did it pop ?" , —Paris is cleared of rats by her Muni- cipal Council offering a premium for their skins. Two years ago the premium was about twelve shillings per thousand, in order to get the city cleared of these pests. Twenty thousand skins are said to have been made into "genuine kid" gloves last year. 1 —X"good place to begin on a reduc- tion of ' the hours of labor would- be in the rum_shops.

He meant al- ternately. Another mistake was "that there would be no service next Wednes- day, las master had gone a -fishing for THE HURON EXPOSITOR. another clergyman." Officiate was • the word intended. . —Wendell Philips 'was waiti4 once for the train at Essex Junction,Vermont, where passengers at times have to exer- cise great patience.

About 11,000,- 000 tons are now taken annually from this bed, of which two-thirds are bit- uminous coal, and one third anthracite. Professor Lesley believes that the oil and gas supply will practically cease ten or twenty years hence., --It costs a little = more than twenty cents a mile to run a locomotive, on an average. Nearly eight cents of this is for fuel, se4en and a quarter cents for pay:of engineer and fireman, a half cent for oil and waste, and more than four and a half cents for repairs. A ton of coal will run a locomotive twenty-four miles, a pint of oil will run eleven miles, and a pound of waste 123 miles. —Cruikshank, the artist—so Canon Farrar-says—offered £100 for proof of a violent crime 'committed by a total ab- stainer, and the money remains unclaim- ed to this day. Quite as striking a pro- position has recently been made by a ' temperance society in Englattd, offering a large, reward for proof of a single in- stance where property accumulated by liquor -selling has descended to the third generation. —The fire in tee crater of Kilauea, the Hawaiian volcano,has suddenly gone 1 ou . At the same time an entire _lake .ne r by has disappeared. These phe- nomena are believed to be theprecursors of a grand outburst in the near future, either in Kilauea or Mauna Loa. Some persons, basing their views on the obser- vations of Professor Agassiz, believe that ' the disappearance of fire is a perlude to the total extinction of the Kilauea volcano. Catarrh—a New Treatment. Perhaps the meet extraordinary success that has been achieved in modern medicine has been attained by the Dixon Treatment for Catarrh. Out of 2,000 patients treated during the past six months, fully ninety per cent, have been cured of this stubborn malady. This is none the less sta.rbling when it is remembered that no five per cent. of patients presenting themselves_to the regular practitioner are benefitted, while the patent medicines and other advertised cures never record a cure at all. Starting with the claim now generally believed by the most scien- tific men that the disease is due to the presence of living parasites in the tissue, Mr. Dixon at once adapted his cure to their extermination- ehis accomplished, he claims the Catarrh is prac- tically cured, and the permanency is unquestion- td, as cures effected by him four years ago are cures still. No one else has ever attempted to cure Catarrh in this manner, and no other treat • ment has ever cured Catarrh. The application of the remedy is shuple, and can be done at home, and the present season et the year is the most favorable for a speedy and permanent cure, the majority of cases being cured at one treat- ment. Sufferers should correspond with Messrs. A. H. DIXON & SON, 305 King Street, West, Toronto, Canada, and enclose stamp for their treatise on Catarrh. -Montreal Star, November 17, 1882 882-52 AS CONSCIENTIOUS DRUGGISTS, -WE WOULD - recommend for DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION and kindred diseases, the use of MALTOPEPSYN. For Consumption and all wasting diseases, the use of MORSE'S CARBOLATED NORWEGIAN COD LIVER OIL. For -teething infanta and nervous troubles, the use of GLYCEROLE or CELERY COMPOUND (containing no opium.) You probably ask why we recommend these remedies! It is because we know •them to be reliable remedies, endorsed by leading physicians throughout the Dominion, for the cure of specific diseases, and not claiming to Cure everything. Also because they have the exact formula printed on eech bottle label,thereby enabling the pur- chaser to know just'what he is taking. The time is rapidly approaching when intelli- gent people will refuse to take quack cure-alls, the ingredients of which are kept seeret, but will insist upon knowing just what they are taking. We would also inform any who may not yet be aware by actual trial of the superiority of our "ROYAL GLYCERATED BALSAM OF FIR," in curing Coughs,Colds, Bronchitis, Sore Throat` Incipient Consumption, iire. &c., that this reli- able remedy can now be procured from every dealer in the County of Huron, and although not advertised outside our own Connty, entirely owing to its own merits, we have already receiv- ed -orders from the most distant part3 of the Do- minion, if afflicted give it a -trial, price 60 cents per bottle wholesale and retail by .LUMSDEN & WILSON, Manufacturers, • 925-62 Seaforth, Ontario.
