To the Editor of the flew Era.
Once upon a time four men set out
on a journey. They met two kindred
spirits, and thinking it would be both
pleasant and profitable to dine together,
they palled unto the steward and asked
him if he could seat the six at a, table
by themselves. The steward politely
replied that he would and that in a few
minutes he would call them. But alast
while those six tarried in No 3 state
room, there was a rush to the tables
and when the six looked, behold, the
tables were full. Time dragged its
weary length through course after
of a stylish dinner, and still
those heroes kept their room. Their
feelings somewhat mollified by the
that be was ready for them. Then,and
en did t e leave the roofof
duty, and they did ample justice to the
luxurious repast, which verified the pre-
diction of the family man, that there
would be no second hand victuals. A.
visit to No. 40 shortly after revealed the
fact that a sleepy sensation was begin-
ning to creep over its inmates, and
that they discoursed on a variety of
subjects such as:—The Bible, paregoric
and rheubarb, prayers,- five year old

when 'it says so. In the article
'alluded to, published in our issue
of April. 8,• 18 5, not ono word is
said concerning
the farmers
and.
their condition. There is not even
au inference of such a thing. The
article referred to the rebellion in
the Northwest, and eulogizes the
Northwest Territory, but attri-
butes the presence of so many Ca-
nadians in Dakota, to the unjust
land laws, the monopoly, and the
hon -recognition of settlers' claims.'
That etatement has been often
since admitted to be true, oven by
Conservative papers, and needs
no further proof. So that the
Record's first illustration of so
called • proof turns out, to be false,
Then, again the Record says ;--
It is something unusual for a
government to be charged with
manslaughter, but a Coroner's
jury in Quebec' province has
brought in a verdict- holding the
Dominion Government directly
responsible for the death of a man
on the Intercolonial railway. The
members of the Government aro
not likely to suffer by reason of
this verdict, for it would bo im-
possible 40put them on trial.

"No Conservative gets a soft snap

aro in the departtents at Toronto
a largo number of Conservatives
who are holding high•salaried
positions. No doubt they per-
• form their duties as well as any
one else would,but lir Mowat gets
no credit from his political op -

keeping them there.
The Toronto News thinks that
r:o long as Ilona Mr Foster and

That is a pretty loose code of mor-

IIon. T. 13. Pardee,'late Commis-

Mr Pardee was born in the coun-

1830, and received his education
in the county and at Brockville.
He studied law in the office of
Hors. W. Richards in tho latter
town, but below completing his
studios he became possessed of
the western gold fever, and sud-
denly left for California, where
he remainedror two years. Return-
ing to Canada he settled in Sarnia
and completed his studios tboro.
He was called to the bar in 1861.
At the first general election

40,1873, when he became Commis-

A London special says:—I n
well-informed circles the story is
current that the Marquis of Salis-
bury has written to the Queen
.urging her to exact from the Prin-
cess Louise of Wales a promise
that upon her marriage she will
renounce all rights to the- succes-
sion of the throne. In the event
of two sons of the Prince of Wales
dying without issue the children
of the Princess Louise world bo

.the crown. Taliis is by' no moans
such a remote contingency as may
at first sight appear, and tho fact
that it is quite within the bounds
of possibility that Lord Fifo may,
in the course of time, bo the fa—
ther of a monarch, justifies its dis-
ctt tion. Such a denouement,
should it ever bo brought ,about,

On Monday morning the com-
munity at Owen Sound was shock-

accident. The eldest son of Mr
Alex. Young, who ropides in Sara-

wood out of the bush. Ho was
noticed by a young man named
Hammond to bring• ottt a small

. Is Clinton a big city ? What race of
people inhabit it? How long has 'it
been settled, etc., are questions frequent•
ly asked of me. It must be old, healthy
and fruitful, or its population could not
be scattered over the earth as they ap-
pear to be by listening. to your column.
For example if an' old woman falls down
a cellar stair in Hamilton and injures
herself she has relations in Clinton, or
if a small boy dances on the island at
Toronto to please the curious, and
takes a'prize, he leas friends in Clinton
Or if a Rev. gentleman taker a fancy to
visit a horse fair in London and looses
his gold headed cane, be too has rela-

Duluth and by a stray bullatfrom the
revolver of the police a 'poor, innocent
lad looses his life, he too has relations
in that wonderful town called Clinton.
So wo might go on but enough said, we
will hitch up some day to drive over
