THOSE GOOD OLD FASHIONED
FOLK.
Somehow tlie people of to -day aint as
they used tcbbe,
At anyrate, pretty sure they're not
the same to me.
Issid while there are many just as good
as those I used to know,
There's spores and scores among them
that are only so and so.
We always used to take a man exactly
as he eaid,
But now it' a safe to take him just the
other way instead,
It does my heart just lots of good to
meet cnce in a while
Some of those good old fashioned folks
so nearly out of style,
I wouldn't say the world in honesty is
slipping back,
I wouldn't say that Christians hunting
grace have Wet the track.
I wouldn't say that men to -day are less
the friends of truth
Because they seem to differ from those
I knew in youth,
Those statements I refuse to make, but
this I freely say,
Those people please me quite as well as
those we meet to -day.
Tfleir hearts and hands were honest and
their lives held little guile
Did those old fashioned people now, so
nearly oat of style,
We're wiser than they uaed to be, and
maybe weaker too.
And good old homespun honesty may
less our hearts imbue.
These latter days we are bent on getting
• rich so fast,
We havent time to think of things they
thought of in the past,
We are wildly striving after gold, we
rush, and push and crowd,
And after I while we'll each be wanting
pockets in his shroud.
But none of us can e'er outrank within
the afterwhile
Those good old fashioned people so

Minard's Liniment cures distemper.
Dominion Parliament, the most natural
solution of the difficulty seems to be
the establishing of Intercolonial free
trade, with a revenue tariff, or a mode-
aate amount of protection againat other
countries. But a far more important
question than that of the tariff, or the
selection of a site for the federal Capi-
tal, will engage the attention of the
coming convention, when its members
try to agree regarding what powers
shall be left in the hands of the local
legislatures and what assigned to the
federal authorities. With this question
will be involved the kindred ones, con-
trol of crown lands, and adjustment of
existing Colonial debts. Australian
statesmen and journalists have lately
been studying the British North Ame-
rican Act, and the constitutions of the
United States, the Swiss and Ar-
gentine Republics, and every other
confederation in the world, so that
if Australia's constitution be not
nearly perfect, it will not be because
the framers of it hay e not tried to profit
by the example 'set them by other
countries.
It is of course impossible to foretell
just what form the Australian Federa-
tion Act will take, but it seems prob-
able that the American Constitution
will be copied more closely in some re-
spects than that of Canada. Austral-
ians appear to be of the opinion that
the B. N. American Act has not left
sufficient power to the control of the
Provincial Legislatures. It is possible
that some "new and startling features,"
as the play bills say, may be introduced,
for these colonies have already stepped
out of the beaten track in much of their
legislation, and have perhaps advanced
further in the direction of socialism
than any other country in the world;
it need, therefore, surprise no one, if
"land nationalization," the "single tax
idea," or even "Bellamyism" finds a
place in the Australian constitution.
It is to be hoped, however, whatever
be the terms under which the Austral-
ian Colonies unite into one Dominion,
that those who frame the Act of Fede-
ration will make its meaning sufficiently
clear that "great constitutional lawyers"
at least will not have occasion to differ
concerning it.
Should everything go smoothly, in a
short time the world will see another of
Brittania's daughters taking rank
among the nations, and when the day
arrives on which Canada, or Australia,
or both, shall desire complete indepen-
dence, the mother country will not ob-
ject.
Doth the dull soil
Quarrel with the proud forest it hath fed
And feedeth still, more comely than itself ?
Or shall the tree be envious of the dove
Because it c000th, and heti.' snowy wings
To wander wherewithal and and its joys?
The question of the federation of the
Colonies is at present absorbing the
attention of statesmen and politicians
throughout Australia. The idea of ul-
timate union has long been believed in,
and occasionally spoken of, by leaders
of Aastralian political thought, but
nothing definite in the way of federa-
tion was ever attempted till five or six
years ago, when a Federal Council was
formed, which has since met biennially
at Hobart, Tasmania, for the discussion
of matters of common interest. This
Council was never a great success, as
its powers were too limited, and the
oldest and perhaps moat important
colony in the group, New South Wales,
refused to have anything to do with it.
New Zealand and South Australia also
held aloof, and even those who were
most in favor of the Council have lately
began to admit its uselessness. Many
things have occurred of late years to
make Australia more and more desirous
for federation. The idea has taken
hold on the minds of the people that
there would not have been so much,
yielding on the part of the Imperial
Government, during the last decade,
had there been a united Australia to
protest when France and Germany de-
veloped a craze for colonization in the
South Seas. Australians are thorough
jingoes; they are firmly convinced that
the Germans have no right in Samoa
or New Guinea, and the French no right
in New Caledonia or the New Hebrides.
If England will only plant her tlag on
any island in the South Pacific, Aus-
tralia is able and willing to pay the ex-
penses of government.
The Chinese question also makes in
favor of federation, for though, at pre-
sent, Chinese immigration is restricted
by concurrent legislation in the differ-
ent Colonies, yet this plan cannot be
relied upon, as the planters of the
southern portions of the continent, who
claim that Chinese and Coolie labor is
a necessity with them, may at any
time have sufficient influence to get
Asiatics admitted free; and once let
"John" set his foot on Australian soil,
he will not remain long in the tropical
parts, but will soon find his way across
the borders, into the cooler Southern
Colonies. The defenceless state of
many important strategic points around
their coast shows Australians the ne-
cessity of a united effort being made to
fortify these places, for England's colo-
nies will have to depend largely upon
themselves for protection, if the mother
country ever becomes involved in a
great European war. The present
generation of Auatralians, having been
born in the country, are developing a
commendable national spirit, and while
retaining all their attachment to Brit-
ish ideas, are growing each year more
desirous to see Australia take her place
among the nations, free, united, and
progressive, England's loyal daughter,
and strong and faithfull ally. The for-
mation of an "Australian Native's As-
sociation," three years ago, lies done
not a little to foster this ,Australian
patriotism. Nearly 'everything in fact,
of late years, has operated iri the one
direction, and Sir Henry Parkes, pre-
mier of N. S. Wales, and the most pro-
minent figure in Australian politice,was
repeatedly called upon by statesmen of
the otner colonies to make a move in
the way of federation, and at last he
has done so, and the movement is well
under way. Sir H. Parkes has always
held to free trade principles, and sup-
ported by the Sydney importers, and
squatters and graziers, has managed to
retain his position of premier when
adjoining colonies have been going
strong for protection. At the last elec-
tion in N. S. Wales, however, the pro-
tectionists really won the day, and Sir
Henry's opponents are not slow to as-
sert that his recent conversion ti the
federation idea, and his flowery speeches
in favor thereof, are simply the tricks
of a clever politician to take the atten•
tion of the people away from the tariff
question. Be this as it may, the Gov-
ernments of the other Colonies were
not disposed. to look too closely for mo-
tives, when he announced his change of
front, and delegates from all the Colo-
nies assembled gladly at his bidding
last February, to discuss the possibili-
ties of forming an Australian Dominion.
This conference was composed of lead-
ers from both sides of the house in
each Colony, and the opinions expressed
were almost unanimous in favor of fed-
eration, though all were not agreed re-
garding matters of detail.
Representative men are now being
appointed by the various Governments,
to attend a convention that is shortly
to be held for the purpose of drawing
up a Confederation Act, if an agreement
can be reached regarding its provisions.
Many delicate questions will come up
for consideration at this convention,
and, unless members show a spirit of
broad minded statesmanship, and a
willingness to make mutual concessions
and sink local jealousies, the whole
scheme may yet be wrecked. The
choice of a federal capital is one subject
that will likely be somewhat warmly
discussed by the convention. Neither
Melbourne or Sidney will be chosen, for
the examples of Canada and the United
States are likely to be followed in plac-
ing the seat of government away from
the great commercial centres. Hobart,
Tasmania, has been mentioned, but it
-is felt that,while it would be admirably
adapted by reason of its fine climate
and beautiful surroundings, for the
purposes of a federal capital, yet, from
a military point of view, some internal
aitnation would answer the purpose
better. Albury, on the Murray river,
between Victoria and N. S. Wales, has
also been named in this connection,
and would probably answer as well as
any place else, though the climate there
is pretty hot at times, but as Austral-
ians are used to heat,and heat here does
not mean unhealthinem the warmness
of the climate will scarcely be thought
of as an objection.
The tariff question is looked upon as
the lion that blocks the road 1, federa-
tion, for the 'vested interest' cry is cer-
tain to be raised, if an attempt is made
o throw down the customs barriers
between the Colonies; but it is to be
oped that the lion will be found to be

NEWS NOTES.
At Walla Walla, Wash., two
brothers named Kennedy tied
John Clinton hands and feet with
a rope and then hitched him to,
an unruly horse's tail, all because
the victim refused to play cards
with them. The horse ran wildly
for a quarter of a mile, when the
rope slipped from its tail and Clin-
ton escaped alive.
A young man named Harper,
in ths employ of John NAWilson,
a farmer livinz in the outskirts of
Ridgetown, was kicked in the
groin by a horse on Thursday.
His injury was not thought ser-
ious at first, but the young man
died at 11 on Friday, complica-
tions having set in.
Two weeks ago Col. Allison, the
1Government scout, who induced
Sitting Bull to return from Can-
ada and surrender after the Custer
massacre, became converted at a
camp meeting in Pierre, Dak.,
since which time he has been
preaching among the Sioux, and
the result is that hundreds of the
Indians are becoming converted.
Instead of being envious of the ad-
vaacement of the Colonies, Englishmen
will rather proudly say
"We are such forest trees,and our fair boughs
Have brought forth, not pale solitary doves,
But eagles golden plumaged, who do soar
Above us in their beauty and must reign
In right thereof."
PRESIDENTIAL PERQUISITES
Tho office of the President of
the United States is rather bare of
perquisties. He has to pay out
of his own pocket the wages of
his cook and male servants, as
well as the hire of his coachman
and the price of the fodder for his
horses. When be gives a state
dinner, which is clearly an official
and not a personal affair, he has
to pay for it. He has his dwell-
ing rent free. When he gives an
entertainment the rooms wherein
he receives his guests are decorat-
ed for him in the highest style of
the art with plants and flowers
from the great city greenhouses,
supplemented by what the White
House conservatories are able to
supply, all free of charge. Sup-
posing that the entertainment is
a dinner, all the equipments of
the table, including the napery,
silver, china, glassware; mirrors
and other centerpieces, as well as
the floral decorations, are provid-
gratis. In fact, all such house-
hold accoutrements, as well assup-
piles of linen and furniture of all
sorts requisite, are placed at the
Presidenee disposal. When the
things wear nut they are replac-
ed by Congress by appropriation.
Only a little while ago $5000 was

ABNER COSENS.
A curious wager, with fatal
results, was recently decided at
Slowing, in Bavaria (says Vanity
Fair). A notoriously strong man
named Freytag, bet that a horse
could not move him from the door
of his house. The horse was
brought,and Freytag put his hands
and feet against the door -posts,
while Stern, the man with whom
the bet had been made, fixed a
rope round Freytag's neck. At
the first pull the rope broke. A
new rope having been brought,
Stern plied his whip with all his
might, when Freytag gave a
scream, and letting go, was
dragged along for some yards.
His neck was broken.
FROM AUBURN TO DETROIT.
After a pleasant drive of two hours
we arrive at Godericla. The new
post office of that place is a magnifi-
cent building, but unfortunately is
placed on a side street, instead of
being an ornament to the square.
We left Goderich on the lot last, by
the City of Windsor, a trim little
boat of limited and fairly good ac-
commodation, and the officers were
civil and obliging. We arrived at
Sarnia, after a pleasant sail, about 7
p.m., remaining over night, and after
some delay next morning left for De-
troit by the Darius Cole, a passenger
steamer of fine accommodation. The
day being fine, the sail down the
river was delightful, and elle scenery
charming, particularly on the Ameri•
can side, which was dotted here and
there with summer resorts, and neat
little cottages surrounded with beau-
tiful lawns and shade trees. At
length we sighted the upper end of
Belle Isle, the city park of Detroit.
It contains 700 acres, and'is connect-
ed with the city by a bridge 2,000 ft.
long and 40 ft. wide, with a draw
span to pass vessels through, which
cost $300,000. From the deck uf the
steamer the nark presents a beautiful
landscape picture, with its lawns,
flower beds, and miniature lakes con -
fleeted by artificial streams, spanned
by rustic bridges and walks, sur-
rounded by a magnificent driveway,
the whole affording a convenient and
delightful spot for fresh air and ex-
ercise, and is easily reached by a line
of ferries. Detroit contains upwards
of 200,000 inhabitants, and has many
fine avenues and places of attraction,
a view from the City I all, with its
network of street cars, presents a
hive of industry, and, judging from
the clean and tidy appearance of the
streets, the cheerful faces and fine
physiques of the citizens, particularly
of the fair sex, it must be a healthy
place to live in. A visit to the Ex-
position was of interest, and a sail of
twenty minutes brought us to the
grounds, which presented a new ap-
pearance. It is conveniently and
well laid out. The palace occupies a
central place, and is very large, con-
taining the principal exhibits, which
were fine and nicely arranged. The
stock and Implements of all kinds
were quartered in separate buildings,
and were fine specimens. MINETTA.

Robert Bonner, who loves to talk
about his wonderful trotters almost as
much u he does to drive them, says
that he never expecte to see the time
of Mead S. -a mile in 2.0t4 -lowered.
Dexter held the record for years, and
Mr Bonsor thinks Maud S. will do the
same. Even Snnol's quarter mile in
28 seconds does not alter bis opinion,
for nothing like that speed could be
kept up for a full mile.
