This is an inno- vation that will meet with approval among fathers and mothers who have marriageable daughters. One family in WestVirgiuia 'mined Brandon contributed sixteen brothers, all good soldiers, to the Union Army in the United States civil war. The mother of fifteen of them now ap- plies for a pension.

The Chief of Police of Buffalo says that nineteen twentieths of the _ori Innis of the --land-are-drinking men, -and eighteei twentiethe tit the crimes committed are plann- ed in saloons. Ria experience is that of every other chief in the land, A. remarkable drinking contest took place a then?" quoth the conductor.'

The wager was $20, and the man who 1 out. or I'll discharge you.”It you've won' it drank eleven large glasses of cold neither ticket nor pass," responded the water, and was none the worse for it. The son, "you must ,pay pour fate." Again other fellow drank nine glasses and became the 'railroad president threatened to dis- charge the conductor, unless he moved on. " Will you pay?" said the young Rich- mond. reaching for the bell rope. Pay your fare or I'll put you off." Remon- s'rance was vain, and the president was compelled to pay the fare on his own road. When his wrath had time to cool, he was pleased at the young conductor's strict obedience to orders, and concluded to give him a better chance than punching tickets. A New tUls1 R*or Ti,urlow Weed told a good story in the cloak -room of the Senate one day about his crony, Dean Richmond, of Albany Mr, Richmond had a son whose habitr• were not censonaut with the railroad king's idea of prudence. He was sharp, shrewd and witty, but was emphatically "one of the boys." The paternal purse was long, and his patience stretched out to equal dimensions, but finally young Richmond wore out the patience, and was told that he must go to work and earn his own living. The old -gentleman placed him on one of his railroad trains, and when the youngster had learned the du- ties of the conductor promoted him to that station. One rule of the road was that nobody should be dead -headed. Each passenger was compelled to produce a ticket, pay his fare, or show a pass signed by the president, Dean Richmond. A few days after young Richmond took charge of a train, his father was among the passengers In due course of time the conductor reached the seat occupied by, the old gentleman, and tapping him on the shoulder, ejaculated : " Ticket, sir!" Dean mode lad reply, other than a good-natured smile. "Ticket!" said the t- conductor emphatically. ".I have no ttcliel "you -young reseal;—said the or gentleman, warmintr up as he noticed the other passengers giving attention to the scene, "and don't need any " `iHave•you The United States is the best market for the Canadian femme, erpeoially for barley and some other coarse grains, as -well as for horses and cattle and winter fruit. There is this to be said in favor of the farmer's de- mand. He does not ask the Government to tax other people in order that he may profit • by it. -Montreal Witness. While John Schimmel, of Peoria, 111., was on the way to the -cemetery to bury the seventh of his children who had died within a year, the horse ran away and the father's arm was broken. A young son carried the condo containing bis little brother's remains on his shoulders to Pekin, where it was bn ried. Winnipeg gives tbo lie to the saying that there is no Sabbath west of Chicago. The streets are empty and the churches full. There is said to be church acoobsmodation for I5,000 in a population of 23,000, and it is all utilised. There is no street car traffic, all places of business aro closed, and the people enjoy one day of true rest. Said a leading resident of Prince Edward the other day:-" If I have 1,000 bushels of barley to sell, I just lose the price of one hun• dred on account of present tariff regulations with the United States. I[ I raise a span of horses worth $300, I have to lose $60 in the same way." These are facts that oonuot be got arouaa by any specious or [alae cry of "Annexation" or "disloyalty." Says -the Ottawa Free Press: -Some Minis- terial organs stated a few days ago that Mr Baird, the bogus Mr. P., for Queen's county, • New Brunse i At, had resigned -the seat in par- liament to which he was not elected. He 40., has not done anything of the kind, and ap- pareuty has no intention of doing so. The man who is mean enough to take a seat to which he was not elected is not likely to have conrge enough to face the people again. The Calgary Tribune gives some interesting particulars about on experiment with fall wheat at tleicben. A good crop was suc- cessfully harvested last year, and now the ground is coVererl with a , sturdy volunteer crop. This speaks well for the climate, but not muoh for the farming. It will change the appearance of things materially if it is found that fall wheat can be reckoned upon for a sure crop in any considerable portion of the 'Northwest.- -' - Dr.-Wilibughby; M-uast-N-ttrthtrnrber. land, has a large horse breeding establishment at Colborne. HIe states than never before has there been a better demand or a better pride for a good breed of horses. The best purchasers -are Americans: •The English de. mend is coustant and the prioe good and al- most unvaried, .but the American market will take all the horses that can be bred iuCanada for years to come, and the prices are much better than those on the other side of the At - Pantie. Dr. O'Reilly, Inspector of ' Prisbusa nd Asylums, states.that the insane asylumsof s. the Province are still filled with patient At on the close of last month the number in theasy- lums were as follows:-Lnndon,901;Tor to, 693; Kingston, 679; Hamilton, 0al, 10; -•tot 2, s 883.

A herd of several thousand cattle, ranging north of the• track, moving sonth, were excited by a thunder- storm and became almost unmanageable. While the train was approaching, a thunder- bolt descended in the midst of the herd and killed three of the animals. This stampeded the herd,and though a score of cowboys strove to head them off the frightened mass rushed forward, etrnggling across the track in the path of the train. Involuntarily the engineer set the brakes; but realizing that he would ditch his train if he ran slowly, he took off the brakes, threw the throttle wide open,and plunged into herd at the rate of fiftf.Svemiles an hoar. A passenger who described tho gone says the steers flew in the sir in All direct'nns as the engine struck them, and some of them bit the roofs of the passcriger oars in their descent. The train passed through the living drift in safety. When it backed up to see if any of the cattle were hurt, riity s^.i;ri (1111 steers were counted. Ile Lost Ills Kiss. At.election times the Duchess of Gordon was a terror to the Robertsons, Camerons, Bruees, Ogilvies, Blackies, Aliens and other north Tories. But the bonnie Duch- ess did not kiss for politics alone. When the famous Gordon Highlanders -now, the 93rd -were recruiting in Aberdeen the recruits came up slowly. The Duch - t s heard of this, She placed a cockade 1 her glengarry, put a plaid of the Gor- don tartan over her shoulders, and offer- ing a kiss to every one who would take "the King's shilling," quickly enlisted a cnmpany of "brew John Hielandmen" for the Gordons.' Afterward the Duchess was recounting this feat in the salon of a Whig magnate in London. There was present a. young English noble. who said, " I wish I had been present, Your Grace. If would have taken the kiss and the shill- ing myself" "But," said the Duchess. " you would not have underatond what I said; my Scotch is so broad." "Oh, yes I would. I know every word of Scotch, no matter.hew broad." "'Well, I will try you,' said the Duchess. "If you tell me what I mean by this I'll give you a kiss : ` My canty eerie, come pree mi mou I' " This Her Grace said with great rapidity of pronunciation, and the Eng- lish noble laughingly said : " Oh, that is French, not Scotch." " You have lest your kiss, My Lord," replied the Duchess of Gordon. " What I said was Scotch; and means : ' DIv handsome fellow, come taste my mouth.' " Andrew MoNaughton, of Sudbury, has been appointe I a Police Magistrate for Algoma. and Nipissing, ata salary of $1,200, and Mr. George Burden, of Sault Ste Marie, Police Magistrate for Algoma, salary, $1.600. An aTecting scene was witnessed in a -Montreal court on Friday,during the -pro- gress of the case of the young man Her- bert Taylor, who was b ing tried on the charge of forging the name of Hon J G Blaine. Whilst the examination was pro- ceeding th ' father of the vouns man, who had just arrived from Worcester, Mass., entered _tbp‘roonl,.,, The meeting between father and son was most aflecting,and the young m n was soover( o ne by his disgrace the t he fainted, and it was some time be• fore the case could proceed. It may safely be predicted that two weeks hence Ireland will be plunged into something very mueh•approaching civil war. The and League work and the plan of ca(npaig aro gathering; in fundsfdr terrible struggle against the provisions of the two bills and the fight war to the knife. So thoroughly convinced o this' are the Irish people that the emigratio has assumed phenomenally, colossal prop ions during the past two weeks.
