The Largest Farm in theWorld. LI the extreme southwest corner of Louisiana lies the largest producing farm in the world. It runs 100 miles, north and south and 25 miles east and west, and is owned and operated by a syndicate of Northern capitalists. Their general manager, J. B. Watkins, gives in interesting account of this gigantic plautation, which throws the great Dal- rymple farm in Dakota into the shade completely. 'The million and a half acres of ear tract," Mr. Watkins said, was purchased io 1883 from the State of Louisiana and from the United States Government. At that time it was a vast grasing land. for the cattle of the few dealers of the neighborhood. When I took possession I found over 30,000 head of halfewild horses and cattle. My work was to divide the immense trabt in- to convenient pastures, establishing stations or • raeches every six Miles. The fencin alone cost in the neighbor - ho of $50,0004 The land I found to be t adapted to rice, sugar, corn, and cotton. All our cultivating, ditching, etc, is done by steam power. We ;take tr tetesay half e, mile wide, for instance, and place au engine on each side. •These engines are portable, and operate a cable attached to four plows, and under this arrangement we are able to plow thirty acres a day with only the labor of three men. Our harrowing, planting', and other cultivation is done in a like manner. In fact, there is not a single dratight- horse on the eutire place. We haVe, of course, hoirs for the herders of cattle, of which 'we have now 16,000 'head. The South4n Pacific Railroad rims for 36 miles itrouigh our farm.

A Tribute to Mrs. Henry Ward 13eecher. Amongthe fifty or sixty millions of our peoptilit would-be difficult to find another Eunice Beecher, the wife of the grand preaelter who has just gone to his rewardtier face, cast in the Jiterriest Puritan mouId; tells of that WOnderful strength of character which safely guided her great husband through fifty years of stormy life: In the -lines of her face there is little of human weaknese ; an overpowering sense of duty, rishagl sup- perior even tq her affections, being the guiding star of her life. The world little knows.how ranch it is indebted to this _sad visaged, silent woman, for whatever was grand in her husband's eharaeter. She it was who early shaped his destiny and, roused his!almost sluggish nature to those supreme efforts which have electri- fieclthe world and imm.ortalized his Dame. Destined to shine as a ruler among women in the noblest paths of literature, with a self abnegation almost without a parallel in one gifted, she laid aside all personal ambition to build rip her husband's glory. Through years of suf- fcring and toil, of sorrow and slander, of grief and woe Unutterable, for halaa hun- dred yeais she stood by the side Of him to whom she had pledged her maiden faith, the embodiment of wifely . honor and wifely loyalty and all that is glotdorte or Itonore.ble in motherhood. Who can everforget her who saw her during those long and bitter months of trial when the fate of her soul's idol was trembling in the balance and shipwreck seeined not far off. How unflinchingly she -sat amid the pitiless storm of detrac- tion and slander and held aloft thehands of her beloved prophet in prayer And the prayer was granted, and the day came when the storm was past and his enemies were scattered like chaff in the hurricane. The reward of her loyalty and love dame too, and she lived to see his fame mount higher than it had ever been, and God spared her to see her work perfected when they laid her honored husband to rest a few weeks ago in the silenecity of the dead. \\lien the great preacher lay stricken unto death and two great ities were bowed With grief, there was but little sign of weakness in this wonderful woman.

REMINISCENCES OF .THE FIRST LAKE SCP1'.;RIOR STEAMER. Captain Dicke, Inspector of Hulls, was the first who navigated a steamer up to Fort William, Lake Superior. This "was in. 1858. The fact was an in- teresting one, and a reporter, meeting the genial captain in the hotel, at Kings- ton,'had a lengthened conversation with him about it. He said that aloag about 1858 a company of Toronto gentlemen was formed and a eontract given -to them to carry the mails rfroin Collingwood. to Fort Garry, now Winnipeg. Captain Dicke and his brother went to. Buffalo and purchased the steamer Rescue, a handsome craft. The boat was origin- ally built for service on the coast of Florida, but the company who, had her in hand failed and the Dicke Ei secured her for one-third of her valhe. The captain found her to be the safest steamer he ever commanded. The wildest gales of the upper lakes did:not disturb her. :She is noweemployed in the Gulf, laying the buoys. There was great opposition to the proposed opening up of the NorthaVest by the Hudson's Bay Company, and throughtheir efforts the. mail contract was a,brogated and the Toronto gentlemen sUffered a great loss. Mr. Dawson, now member of Parlia- ment for Algoma was , engineer of the company's case. lie laid out the route for taking the mails through from Fort William. Bridle paths were cat through. to Dog Lake, thenee to Rainy River and down as far as the boundary line. Boats were then despatched down the Winnipeg river, and finally the bags were were carried acroas the plains to Fort Garry by Indians.The first trip of the voyageurs was a dangerous one, and the mails were forwarded at the point of the pistol, The Inditas objected to the ad- vance of civilization. " My . first trip," said the captain, "was to Fort William on. the Rescue. I had never been up the lakes before, but by the chart 1 .s.ucceeded in getting to rny destination 'without touching stick or stone: It waS a Wight moonlight night when I anchored off Fort William, and in ten minutes afterwards the boat was surrounded by a hundred canoes. They were filled with Indians, Nvho had silently swept out to see the monster. They would not come near to the vessel. Presently the Hudson's Bay factor ap- proached in a huge gondola, rowed- by twenty Indians, who sang their boating songs. The night was pleasantly spent in conversation - with .the factor, who pointed out (the night being very clear) the magnificent terrieory which the Hud- son's Bay Company controlled. The company afterwards charged exorbitant- ly for everything-- we wanted. They were opposed tb our going into the coun- try, and finally succeeded in getting our contracts cancelled. We had much trouble in keeping our canoe stationsin-, tact. Once that at Dog Lake was torn down and the boats scattered,. I later bought one of our own boats at Fort William, but as soon -as I discovered our brand beneath the seat I refused to pay for it. We , used coal on our up trips and wood ort our down trips. We bought the land where Port Arthur is located, and we think .we still have a claim there. The Government sold it without our leave, but the money we paid for it lies in the Crown Lands office, and we intend to have a refund or some satisfaction very soon: Many a time I have taken on wood at Port Arthur. When I first went up the lakes there were only 41ree white men living on the route." 'What did yjoii get," enquired the reporter, "for ca.rrying the mails ?" - "We got $1,200 a trip." "Did you carry much mail matter ?" "The first malil I took up consisted of two letters alad t ree papers. Pre- viously the mail Ifoti Hudson's Bay Company's factors , was sent in from Hudson's Bay." a half -m erection cient str fairies, siho erected these structures at night, and never took more than one night to finish a building. This Gobaon Soar was an extraordinary charaeter, and, no doubt, centuries before the Christian era, was a great building Druid. The name is singular, as it means mason, and which suggests a pos- sible conaection between the (4obaon and the architecture of Solomon's temple. There are hundreds of these ruined ab- beys in Ireland. The most prominent ones are Tirnoleague, in Cork; Ardfert and Muckross, in Kerry; Cong, in the County Mayo, where Roderick O'Connor last king of Ireland, ia buried; Donegal, in which the four masters wrote their annals; and the famous Rock of Cashel, in Tipperary; these are the largest, most ' ancient and interesting ruins in the British Isles, and they prove beyond all dout4 that the ancient Irish bad a fair knowledge of architeetnral d.ecor- ation. _ —RusSia has declined France's invita- tion to participate in the exhibition to be held in Paris in 1889, on the ground that she cannot assist to celebrate an event she detests. Russian subjects are forbidden to send exhibits. --A painful accident happened at St. Francois, on the Temiscouata railway. The forenian had taken out a short piece of fuse far a blast, when a man named Caron took a match and set fire to it. The foreman shouted to him to throw it away in the snow, but he would not do it, thinking he could hold it. His boast- ing was soon punished, for the fuse ex- ploded, carried off one of his hands, which ceuld not be found, and mutilated the other as well as his face. Amputa- tion of both arms was performed. Hopes are entertained that oue eye will be left to the poor cripple. ' --The accident to the through passen- ger express train on the Canadian Pacific Railway near Papineauville, Monday night last week, was caused by a broken rail. A passenger who wee on board says that the train was stemming along at the rate of about 30 miles an hour, and wheu some two miles from Paptaeau- ville a crash was heard in front, which created a panic in the paseenger cars. Ladies ehrieked at the top of their vbices, and rneti broke the windows in their ex• citement to escape. The train ran half a mile on the ties before it could be stoppe' d but fortunately the locomotive did not leave the track'. Several persons receivedinjuries in the way of cute and bruises, while others were injured inter- nally frenn the effects of being thrown violently over the seats. The first two cars next the engines were considerably shattered, and the rails for over half a mile were broken aed thrown several feet front the track.

The ruined abbeys of Ireland are among some of thernost ancient mid in- teresting monuments in the world. It is true, the sculpture is not is massive as that of Nineveh, Babylen, Or Athens, but undoubtedlyjt is as ancient as the monuments of Greece, and even: of Ag- syria herself. :A great number of the religious houses in Ireland -were either built on the sit el of the Druidical tem- ples, or the tematles were taken by the Christians,' altered, enlarged, and con- secrated for the Phristian worship. Ire- land is literallyd•covered with immense ruins -of this kind—ruins in which the Christian Irish, he pagan Irish, and the Norman styles- of architecture may be seen.

G- G-, SEAFORTH, The Old Established Butcher has removed to new premises immediately opposite his Old Stand, Main Street, Seaforth, where he will be pleased to meet all his old patrons and as many new ones 118 may see fit te favor him with their patronage. tirRemember the place, between Henderson's Harness Shop, and McIntyre's Shoe Store, Main Street, Seaforth. 898 GEORGE EWING. Its neatness is as unsurpassed As its good qualities are proved, 'Tis aaeurate and made to last, A watch by punctual men approved. An able judge would pick them out Of every maker's in a batch, And none who tries will ever doubt Pap,st's great " Columbus" watch. The maktrs to the public sell Their watches at the lowest price, And all they do they do it well, • Without one trait of false, device. They don't incur a dime of debt, They have no doubtful schemes to hatch, And never has been equalled yet, The American "Columbus" watoh. I do admire the highest art, And love in all things excellence, For beauty seems the dearest part, And worth the most approved by sense; Beauty and worth combined have they, And if you would have both to match Decide without delay to buy Papst's great Columbus" watcbes.
