G' URRieN'L' TONGS. '
UNION IS STRENGTH.
Yriucipal Grunt delivered au
address at ICiugetou a few days ago
ou imperial federation before a large
audience. He held that Cauadiau
politics were ueceeearily in a :state
of uonfusiou and that they would
remain so until a partnership with
the old land was funned and Canada
had a share in the euipire'd revolt,
Nibilltiee, risks and dangers. S, -ces-
sion or independence meant Suicide
Or impotency.
QUITE RIGHT.
The Cleveland Leader explains iu
a very few welds just what effect
-Commercial Union would have on
Canada, as follows :—•'1Ve wuulrl
swamp Canadian markets with mai•
ufactured goods, and wipe nut their
Luauufactures in every branch et
ole stroke. To save these Indus•
tried they have adopted a protective
tariff against even the mother
country, Great Britain, which is
their greatest rource of revenue.
The idea that they will give us
better than they do Great Britain
would be foolish to entertain.
'Great Britain would not tolerate
any such invidious distinction."
THE OLD MAN HI'T'S BACK.
In the house the other day Mr.
Charlton received a nett Boland
for his Oliver from the wily old
Chieftain. ll r. Charlton asked if
the Government proposed to imtro-
duce, this Seseim', a bill to incorpor-
ate the Orange Society. In reply,
-the Premier stated that tie such a
bill trust, of necessity be a private
measure, it was not the intention of
the Government to introduce such an
Aut. 1 -le added, "end so my friend
will be denied the privilege of toting
against the incorporation of the
Order, which he had done up..n the
two previous occasions when such a
bill was before the House." The
tail end of the reply raised a very
audible snicker at the expense of
the member for North Norfolk.
falsehood. He never h.ac any such
ideas. When in Ctluebec he eddreue
ed many meetings, at which he also
explained the trouble of 1885: He
told them thttt the Governmen had
whipped them, but that a given
',umber of French Halfllreerle well
armed could whipa aiw.ilar number
of any other nation in the world.
Ile had visited Ottawa, but he did
not call on Sir John Maciouald, as
Ise slid not think it his duty. Sir
Jelin should have called upon him.
Amnesty has now beep grouted the
r.abele by the Dentinion Govern-
ment and that amnesty` means that
all rebels should get back their
cattle and every other thing lost and
c,ulfiscated. This was one of the
objects of his tweeting. He wanted
a strong committee formed and a
petition seat to the Lientenattt-
Goveruor at Regina for -his signa-
ture and approval and then sent to
Ottawa. If Mr. Royal refuses to
sign it, then he as a deputation
would go to Ottawa himself. 'We
must have our claims paid,' said
Dumont. 'Tile • 11jetis ware not to
blame for the trouble. They were
led into it and now they must be
paid.' A connnittee of 40 men was
then formed; with iestruotiuus to
lose uo time in getting a petition
prepare:I and seat to Regiva.
Other meetings are to be held. As
a number of Indians were present
Dumont addressed thein in the Cree
language.
BE1TER MAKE MORE BUTTER.
The development of the dairy in.
dustry in Canada has been ren"ti'k•
able. In 1868 the combined value
of butter and cheese exports was
$2,312,000; in 1888 it was $9,727,•
000. Practically it had ,increased
by 200 per cent, in twenty years.
. That is a good enough showing,'
but it is capable of being improved
in regard to•butter, in the export of
which, if not in the manufacture,
there has been a decline. The
shipments from Canada of this
article in 1868 were $1,694,000; in
1888 they were ouly $708,673.,.
There is, it is concedeil on all halide,
no reason for this going backward
in regard to one part of the dairy
trade.
FATHER PARADIS.
The suspended U1,let l either has
written a letter from Rome to
L'F•lectettr, in which he expressed
the utmost confidence, in fact cel'
• tainty, in his success of i is appeal
to the Holy See and tit,oufesion
of his enemies, ecclesiastical and
political, in Canada. A uery
striking passage occurs in his letter,
which deserves to be reproduced.
He writes:
"What is the question at issue
actually in this difference between
some of my superiors and myself?
To get the decision of the judge of
judges, of the supreme tribunal of
the Holy See upon the brutal fact of
a poor religious being dragged out 01
the cell after his door had been
forced in by kicks, a la Red Repub-
licans of France, and thrown into the
streets by two policemen, the same
as a common malefactor, without
warrant or trial, because that poor
religious refused to write and publish
in the Canadian newspapers that the
Hon. J. J. Ross is God, and Pere
Augier his prophet, and this while
he showed, with the record in hand,
that his appeal was pending, arid
that he was under the protection of
Rome.
JUST FOR FUN.
—`I don't say marriage is a fail-
ure,' said 'Adam candidly, as he sat
down on a log just outside the gar-
den of Eden and looked hungrily at
the fruits on the other side of the
wall ; 'but if I hail relitained single
this• wouldn't have happened.'
—I knew by the sign that so
glaringly swung across the broad
sidewalk a saloon was near and the
sound that came forth made ine
peuse and give ear— 'twee the bar
keeper tapping a keg of lager beer.
The sigh and the sound quickly gave
me the steer and I soon had sly nose
its a schooner of beer.
—During the reign of the feudal
system amongst the Highlanders
the Laird of Grant had condemned
one of his vassals to be hanged.
When Donald came to the gallows,
accompanied by Janet, his faithful
wife, he seemed very reluctant to
niouut the ladder, and stood a long
time below the fatal tree shrugging
,his shoulders. 'Hoot awl', Donald,
said Janet, clapping him on the
back, 'gang up like a man and please
the laird !' Donald 'could not .resist
such a powerfrl motivetoobedience ;
he mounted, and was turned off in a
tilirinte.
(RATHER SENSATIONAL.
From Duck Lake, N. W. T. calve
the following:—Gabriel Dumont

"LIFTING"
his fair visitors for half a cww,a and
thus escaped the dreadful compli-
ment."
THE NEWLY WED.
It • is a .Pullman porter who is
taking to,an attentive scribe.
"What's the test ii There are
plenty by which I can spot a bride
and groom, and they are as safe
generally as„the test. One day It
couple carne iu the car—which, by
the way, was jarnful—and the mo
ment they entered it was plain as
day that they were newly wedded.
I passed by them once or twice, and
then went in my closet and got the
dustpan and brush. I walked right
up to where the bride was sitting
and dusted up a panful of rice that
lay on the floor around her in com-
plete circles. Well, if the people
in that car didn't laugh, I'm an-
other.
"The custom of throwing rice
after a bridal couple always snakes
it unpleasant for the party, as lots
of rice is almost sure to stick to their
clothes, hats and their hair. About
the funniest rice thing I ever saw
was that which happened in my car
about three weeks ago. A couple
came in, and the test revealed to uie
that they were bride and groom.
They didn't seem to take kindly to
it, however, and we couldn't get
any .satisfaction out of there at all.
By and by the man said to hie wife:
`Seems to ine this ntebrella• is not
rolled up veay nice.'
"Then he carefully unrolled it,
and, bezing1 out carne three or four
pocketfulls of rice all over the seats
and floor. " Their friends had roll-
ed up a lot inside the folds of the nin-
brella, and, next to the young, man
I heard tell about who, when he
went to sign his name in a hotel regis-
ter, dropped a lot of rice on the
book when he wont to take of his
hat, was,the most binding thing I
ever knew."
A peculiar Laster Sunday custom
is still in vogue in some of the
Northern counties in England. On
that day the men parade the streets
with the privilege of ''lifting"
every woman they meet three times
from the ground, and demanding in
payment either a kiss or a sixpence.
On Faster Monday the tables are
turned, the women being entitled
to the chance of recovering their
kisses or sixpences as the case may
be.
Chambers' "Book of Days" thus
alludes to this custom of lifting : "In
Lancashire, and in Cheshire, Staffed,
shite and Warwickshire, and per-
haps in ether counties, the ridicu-
lous custom of 'lifting,' or `heaving,'
is practised. On Easter Monday
the mien lift the women, and on
Laster Tuesday the women lift, or
heave, the nton. Tho process is
performed by lusty men or women
joiuing their hands across each
other's wrists; then, making the
person who is to be heaved sit down
on their arms, they lift him up aloft
two or three times, and often carry
hint along the street. A grave clergy-
man who happened to be passing
through a town in Lancashire on
an Easter Tuesday, and having to
stay an hour or two at an inn, was
astonished by three or four lusty wo-
men rushing into hie room exclaim-
ing that they had come to 'lift him.'
`To lift mel' repeated the amazed
divine; 'what can you meant' '\Vhy
your reverence, we're come to lift
you, 'cause it's Faster Tuesday.,
'Lift me hecanse it's Easter TuesdayV
1 don't understand. Is there such
a custom here?' 'Yes to be more, all
Ila woolen was lifted yesterday, and
us lift the ileo to -day, And in
course it's our rights and dutios,'
After a little further parley, the

—In answer to enquiries, Hon.
Gen. Foster said the amount of
goods entered for consumption in
the nine mouths ending March 31,
1888 was $73,054,443,' and in . the
nine months ending March 31, 1889,
$68,246,111, not including for
1889 the Northwest territories or
Brititih Columbia. The total ex•

Old Peter Johnson, a familiar
"landmark ” of South street, and
who, in the memory of the oldest
deck hand in this city, has never
been knowu to stir away from his
seat on an old box at the corner of
South street and Coenties slip, tells
the New York F,rening Sun a most
remarkable tale of the troubles
through which he bad to pass to be-
come an American citizen, and to
run away from 'bis birthplace in
Sweden.
It seems that Peter, whose Immo
is not Peter at all, but something in
which all the lettere in the alphabet
are combined, was born in a little
hamlet in Swodeu. Ever since he
first read a translation of "Robin-
son Crusoe," at the age of ten,
Peter had a violent passion for the
sea. Ono day he heard of America.
ile wilted how far off this great land
might be, and his father replied
that it was on the other side of the
great Trish sea and across the Atlan-
tic. The next day Peter made up a

little bundle of necessaries and
started off to find this glorious El
Dorado. He reached Leis, a small
fishing port on the coast of Sweden.
Walking along the wharves he
saw a bark of about eight hundred
tons that was advertised to start
for New York ou that very day.
Ile had never heard of New York,
but as he clambered over the port
rail of the little ship he bliuclly
hoped that it was somewhere near
his goal. On board he found all
deserted. By accident Peter stum-
bled iuto the hold of the ship.
'He secreted himself among a num-
ber of barrels, and as he was very
tirod he fell asleep. About ten
hours afterward he was awakened by
a peculiar clanking noise. Tho ship
was rolling horribly. Her wooden
sides being strained to the utmost
extent, and Peter's heart stood still.
"Well, the end of it was," sari]
the old man last evening to the
writer, "that I went on ;deck. I
was a mighty sick collooso, I can
tell you. But I wasn't too sick b

The sea wag runnin'high. Aheavy
gale had caught us to leeward and
we had sprung a leak. Out' ship

our ship was fillin' fast. All the
