WHAT IS CANADA'S DES–
TINY ?
Mr Erastus1Wiman contributes
an article on "What is Canada's
Destiny" to the June number of
the North American Review. He
points out that there is little or
no feeling in the. United States in
favor of political union with Can-
ada, and that the same remark
applies to the sentiment in Cana-
da with respect to union with the
United States. "The great body
of thinking Canadians," 31t Wi-
man says, "are quite content with
their present political condition,"
and he adds that under these cir-
cumstances a political union seems
too remote to justify its present
consideration from a business
point of view. Mr Wiman then
presents strong arguments in
favor of a commercial arrange-
ment between Canada and the
United' States by which the pro-
ducts of each country would be
admitted into t`re other free of
.duty. The effect of such a pol-
icy upon Canada,Mr Wiman says,
would be deeisive and remarkable,
as to the ultimate destiny of Can-
ada Mr Wiman seems to see no
great difficulty in the way of or-
ganizing an independent Canadian
republic. "Tho independence of
,-4 Canada," he says, "could only re-
., salt in the creation of a great re-
--publih.-.founded - upon very much
the same principles as those'which
now pervade the United States.
The area comprising now eleven
provinces could be divided advan-
tageously into thirty status; and
if the movement towards a repub-
lic should have the hearty cs-op-
oration and all the commercial
advantages of a close union with
the United States, no greater
ashievomont could be imagined
than to build• up a great nation
composed r;f people. of the same
lineage, in • some' laws, and the
same literature, governed by floe
same principles and having the
same destiny in the advancement
of civilization. Encrland Would
be benefitted, ,the United States
would have a constant contribu-
tion to its greatness without in-
creased responsibility, and the
new Canadian republic would oc-
cupy a place before the world
such as her magnificent porpor-
tions, her vast wealth, and the
genius of her people would entitle
her to." -

A BOLI1 T1;.AlN ROBBER.
A bold robber held up the pas.
sengers on t IR;in 1wankeed• Nort k-
ern night pits-enger train in true
western style last Thursday night.
As the train pulled out of Beaiver,
asmatll station 50 miles south of
Iron :Mountain, a man about live
feet eight inches high, dressed
like a lumberman, with a full
dark beard, showed up. Ho did
not create arty- excitement when
he entered the ladies' coach• but
when he reached the rear end of
the coach. le..p illea,l, u.ut. two re-.
volters, and (lnickly- requested
the brakeman to hand "over his
cash. That individual nut having
any about hint, Made for the new.
est seat, -but the robber glade hint
get ups and march ahead of hint.
' Allen', of Marinette, Wis.,
was o first passenger reached
by the nervy robber, and ?Ii A 1 -
len disgorged to the tune of $175
and a fine gold tvatt(•li and chain,
•
A. travelling ,man who sat in the
next seat'handed out 8 roll of hills
said to have contained $900„ 1,
I3ughes, of Iran liiwer, only had
$5 and at silver tvateh, which the
highwayman appropriated. Ile
then continued through the entire
train,.and as each passenger paid
the tax he was made to march
ahead of the nervy renew until
the whole of' the coaches had been
gone through. The male pas-
sengers were !huddled together in
the forward end of the smoking
car likea lot ofsheep. Ile shoved
his way through, hacked 'out of
the train and escaped, j as the
train was pulling into Ellis Junc-
tion, Wis.
Conductor Ellison was 1nlehargc
'of the train,,and atitho first alarm
made for the baggage ear and
barred the door. Once inside he
did not show• up -again • until he
was informed the robber had left
the cars. There were several.
ladies on the train, but this sec-
ond edition of Jesse James with
true gallantry dial not molest
them.
A large (revs! of mens has gone
toren the track to hunt for the
fellow, lrnt the chances of captur-
ing Itinl are slight, owing to the
country being so )1sassily in•.ercd
with timber; Tho robber is sup-
posed to be some one who bas
been holding up the mail stages
in Oconto county, WVis.
The people of Ellis Junction
were very much excited over the
robbery, and each family expect-
ed to receive a call from the vil-
lan before the dawn of day. The
passengers, by comparing notes,
find that the robber got about
$4,000.
$500 REWARD
is offered, in good faith, by the
manufacturers of Dr Sage's Ca-
tarrh Remedy for a case of catarrh
which they cannot cure. It is
mild, soothing and healing in its
effects, and cures 'cold in the
head,' catarrhal deafness, throat
ailments, and Many- other com–
plications of this distressing dis-
ease. 50 cents, by druggists.

DISASTROUS EFFECTS OF THE RE-
CENT FROSTS IN ONTARIO.
Tuesday night's frost in the
Province of Ontario was the most
injurious yet. Besides being very
destructive to vegetables and ruin-
ing fruit, it has in some places
damaged, barley.
At Burlington the grape vines
suffered severely. In East Hamil-
ton, Barton township, the frost
played sad hayoe-among the mar-
ket gardens. Rye and barley also
were nipped.
At Elora 400 formed half an
inch thick. Corn and potatoes
are badly damaged, and.it is fear–
ed the fruit crop has beep almost
entirely destroyed. Barley and
other grains have also suffered
severely.
At Harriston ice formed from
one-eighth to one-quarter of an
inch thick on standing water.
All the early garden vegetables
are badly ferzar, and it is thought
the fruit is gone also. Barley and
peas, especially on low hind, are
frozen.
,At Chesley the frost has dispel-
led all prospects of an average
fruit crop. • Barley, peas and
corn are badly cut down on low
lands and it is feared that the hay
crop has been considerably dam-
aged. All kinds., of root crops
have suffered.
At Paris some of the best grap-
cries aro supposed to bo ruined,
while whole beds of strawberry
plants are practically killed ou'.
Many acre of potatoes and corn
have suffered entire blight.
At Ingersoll, the frost was very
damaging to corn, and fruit, espe-
cially grapes. ,
Around. St. Thomas .wheat in
unsheltered spots was damaged..
Strawberries and -sail smarl fruit
will be greatly injured,and apples,
pears, etc , more Or less injured in

Pall M ill Gazette : In his
speech at the Presbyterian Synod
yesterday evening the Rev John
MacNeill created quite a sensation
by telling the following tale :
Ile was speaking of temperance,
mid said that Iasi Sunday-, when
he preached a temperanee sermota
at the Tabernacle, he received a
letter that had been written by a
lady, on the danger of the use `at
comunm-ion offermentalwine. The
lady in her lettea' told a sad story
of an inherited passion for (rusk.
There were fuer or five of them —
several brothers and t.%0 sisters—
the c•bil bop of it t +m ;ler'ate par-
ents, tier sister had utifin'tun-
nts;(• inherited the craving, and
$,silts( -he was 11 had taaken to
lri+d:. Thr r+l bel s tins ;tmr; Mil -
vented and did all in their power
to eure their sister, but it was of
no use. The sister at length mat-
ried comfortably and children
were born. But the graving for
drink grew greater' and greater,
and at length she, was sent to a
home for inebriates, where she
stayed a year. She left apparent-
tly, said the sister, a changed wo-
man. Soon after, however, her
husband caught a severe cold, and
before going out ono morning
drank a glass of hot whisky—tak-
ing care, however, not to do so in
the presence of his wife. Then,as
was his custom, before leaving he
kissed his wife. At once the
fumes of alcohol passed into her
and in an hour she was a drunk
and roaring woman. She went
from worse to worse and at last
left her husband and her children,
one of them a cripple,tbrough her
drunkenness. The husband died
two years ago, aaastpito-haired and
broken-hearted man, though only
45 years old. .1rNeed I add,' said
the sister in her letter, what be-
came of her ? Her story is that
of Annie Chapman, one of the re-
cent Whitechapel victims. That
was my sister !'
GOOD BUTTER.
Why is it so little good butter
is made by our farmers
or, rather, shy do they make but-
ter at all, if they do not make
good butter? The complaints -
are general, °Specially at this time
of the year, that some of the but -
tor is rancid and ill -flavored. In
fact, good butter is the exception,
and not the rule. With the many
improved appliances there is no
excuse for making poor butter
that sella for 14 and 15:cents a
pound, when choice ' gilt-edged'
butter would- sell for one-third
more in our markets and forex-
portation. Farmers are . com-
plaining that they do not get
enough for their butter. But if
they made good butter by the aid
of the. farm creamery, and other
imprsved appliances, and put it
up in an attractive form, they are
sure of a good price for all • they
can make, in London markets,
and also if our market has an over
production, butter can be profit-
tably shipped to the English mar-
ket. )
Speaking of good butter, an
English exchange says :—'There
were five things that the foreigner
ailned at in regard to the butter
which wassent into the English
market. These were uniformity
in color, in texture, in salting, in
packing, and leaving no water in
the butter. In Denmark they
counted that the butter made.
should keep afortnight. At their
shows they never offered prizes
for hat we called fresh butter,
just churned, to be eaten within
two days. The -butter for compe-
tition had to be lodged with •the
secretary ofthe show three weeks
before it was judged. And why?
Because they wanted that butter
tri be good butter for three weeks,
knowing it might be that time
before' it was' disposed of in our
,Erzglish market.
.The Danish government had an
agent in this country, and if any
complaint was made as to the
quality of butter, he wrote to the
head of the Agricultural Depart -
Mem, nvent, asking him to look after
the farmer, as the quality of tha
butter he was sending Over was
injuring the whole of the produc-
tion in Deilnlark. We might de-
pend upon it that foreign coun-
tries would not leave one stone
uP1rn another unturned to keep the•
grip they- hail already got of our
Lest 11larkets, to keep that 'four-
teen millions of money which was
now going to foreign countries
for a thing which we (0lirht to be
able t.+ snake at home.'
THE VALUE OF AN IDEA.
The value of little inventions
has had a' singular proof or mani-
festation lately in tho great run
on "pigs in clover;" a puzzle that
has, we venture to say, been seen
by nearly all our readers, for it
has already glade its way every-
where. • Mr C. M. Crandall, the
inventor of this toy, says that
fin• twenty years past he has bad
his mind' on the availability of
the rolling of' marbles for a' toy,
and that • in his model room the
first experiment with the "pigs"
took the form of a table, two feet
in diameter, on a ball and socket
joint. This was soon reduced to
the hand toy now so familiar, of
which ;00 gross have been turn-
ed out daily for some tame, while
the demand has not yet been met
by the supply. My Crandall is a
prolific inventor of toys, but it
will billeted that it was twenty
years before he evolved this pop-,
ular novelty in practical form.
His perseverance and his succuss
should give encouragement. to
other inventors, ' many of whom
are at this very moment working
up new ideas of at least equal
worth and utility, In the bold of
electricity alone, there is room
for genres of Crandall:+, who. in
some way or other are to hit the
need- and fancies of the public:

tion of such ;;scat novelties as the
telegraph, the telephone, the elee•
trio light, and the electric' Inolor

tric improvements and devices, as i
trivi;tl and vs valuable as "pigs if(
the clover," may be arrived at
