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

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. The poor saloon -keepers
who have to keep at work from early
morn till eleven o'clock at night are over-
worked and need rest. , Their modesty
has prevented their making any protest.
—A parish clerk once gave out that
"Mr. A. and Mr. B. would preach every
Sunday to all eternity." 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. He saw a grave-
yard, not far from the depot, very full of
graves, and he inquired the reason. A
Green Mountaineer calmly imformed
him that it was used to bury passengers
in, who died while waiting for the
train.
-
—AMassachusetts paper says : "Here
lies the body of John McLean Hayward,
a man who never voted. Of sue is the
Kingdom of Heaven. " This is the
epitaph that it is understood will
be placed on the headstone of Dr. Hay-
ward, who died ,recently at Wayland,
and who prepared his epitaph some time
before his decease.
—The amount of coal in the Pittsburg
region is estimated by Professor Lesley,*
of the Pennsylvania Geological Survey,
at 30,000,000,000 tons. 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

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
