A Detroitadeapatch says : At Higgins' Lake, Roscommon County, yesterday Mrs Charles H. Petit and her little daughter, aged ' 3 years, were boating, when the childf fell into the water. The mother in her anxiety -and-fright, upset the boat. and, as they were alone the chances were they would both be drowned. Such would have been the case had not their horse. an intelligent French pony, which had been turned loose to graze on the shore of the lake, come to their rescue. It aware out to them, and when they had taken secure hold of its main, struggled back to shore, a tried, but heroic pony. The animal is inclined to be balky, and he never would pull anything but a light load ; but he is a prime favorite now. A friend "gives the Prairie harmer the following capital thing, which uow first appears in print :—The gentleman of the bar (legal), including several judges, had a social reunion in Chicago the other evening; and, of course, there was a free flow of wit and humor. Example—In a recent trial I had occasion to fine an Irish- man $18 for contempt of court. He got out his dilapidated, greasy wallet, and handed over the money, but kept stand- ing with an inquiring look. Asking him what he wanted, he replied. 'Plase, judge, give me a resate.' He was inform- ed that no receipts were given in such cases; that the clerk entered it upon the docket, and that finished the transaction. y., But he still lingered, and when again asked why be did not leave, responded 'Why, judge, I want a resate for that money. I'm an honest man, I nm,Judge, and pays my debts, and keeps everything square ; and whin I die, St Peter when be lets me through the gate, will be asking use about everything I done. And very likely he'll ask me for tbe evidences, and thin I'll not want to be hunting all through Sheol to find you, .fudge, to git the resale for this money.' There is a Miss Ahl living in Appling County, about ten miles from Baxley, Ga., who is ten years and two months old and weighs 180 pounds. She weighed at the age of 7 years 140 pounds. She is no higher than children usually are at her age, and so,youmay judge she is aottigh,iv., Persons who have seen her say she is as broad as she is long. D D Bell, an 8 -year-old colored boy, confesses to having set fire to a number of buildings recently burned in Lexington, Ky. He says he knows he cannot be pun- ished fur it by law on account of his age, tabid pla_ys:the incendiary for his own amusement. tie is"in custody, refine the.• authorities are afraid to turn him loose. Toronto Globe: An American manufac- turer, in town on Wednesday, speaking of Commercial Union, said in that case his firm would establish a branch in Canada, raw materials being cheaper and nearer, and manufacture here for the whole con• tinent. Wouldn't it be odd if, after all,as Sir \V P Howland svgeests, Commercial. Union gave us more n,anufactures in Ca- nada instead of less 2 Six bailies came to present an address of congratulation to Victoria. They asked' what they had to do on entering the Queen's presence, being told they should kiss hands. Thereupon Bailie No. 1, as he solemnly stalked past the throne,raised his hand to his mouth and blew Her Majesty a kiss. The remaining five fol- lowed sure till the Queen hada fit of the heartiest laughter she has enjoyed for a, long bine. The number of large fires throughout the country within the past tem months has become a matter of serious concern with insurance companies. The best posted men in the business say that the amount of losses has been from two to three times what it was for the whole ,of last year. The anneal losses average=about $1,000,000,000.

A St. Louis despatch says: The marriage of E C Woodward, of the Woodward & Tiernan Printing Company, one of the wealthiest establishments in the city, to Miss Lizzie Bierks, who bas for five years been a press -feeder in the house, was an- nounced the other day. The couple were married on January 29th, but fear •of pace - ental wrath led young Woodward to defer the announcement. The young wife con- tinued to feed presses until two weeks ago. Wood weed's fears appear to be well found• ed, as his father is said to be willing to give-him-a-chan-cz=to try -the world r'tngle-- handed. A gentleman writing from Osaka,Japan givesa very encouraging review of the pro- gress lof Christian civilisation in that country. English is now taught in all the Government schools of higher grades and in many of the primary schools. It is proposed to introduce tbe ,English lan• gunge in all the schools of the Empire as soon as practicable, and with American or English teachers. The scholars in the Government schools wear clothes cut in the European fashion, and there seems to be a universal desire to conform to the customs of the West in the family and social life. And, as the correspondent says, "best of all is the sincere effort now beiug made by many leading statesmen and private citizens to so remodel their society that women may be enfranchised from the humilation to which they have been relegated for so many centuries." An Ottawa telegram says : The an- nouncement that a messenger in the House of Commons, named Bell, had entered an action against Sir Charles Tupper, Mini - ter of Finance, on behalf of his wife for detective work she performed for Sir Charles Tupper, is causing a great sensa- tion. Bell said today to a cotvrespondent that Sir Charles having charged him with nttempied blackmail he. is now publish- ing a phamplct, in which he intends to show up the character of Sir Charles and a member of Parliament named Colby, who were at one time boarders in his house. The pamphlet will he published in three weeks, he says,, and until it is given to th,e public the startling revela- tions which Mr, Bell promises to give to ( the worn will not be known, THE POPULAR oods L Ol\ DE 5130 i:t0.
