In view of the fact that the contract for carrying the mails to Great Britain has expired with the Allans, of Montreal, and the Canadians mails aro henceforth to go via New York, a government circular has been issued to all newspapers, notifying them that "hereafter the rate upon news- papers will be one eent per two ounces to Great B' itain," which really means two cents on each newspaper. This may look like a trivial matter, but to a groat many newspapers it is a serious affair. Almost all Canadian pa- pers have some subscribers in Great Britain, and the rats of subscription has been the same as for subscribers elsewhere, because the postage hitherto has been very trifling. Under the new arrange- ment papers will be compelled to pay in postage, nearly the full price of the paper, and in some cases more. The NEW ERA, for instance, has half -a -dozen foreign subscribers. The postage on these will each amount to $1.04 a 3 ear. No'Ve take the papers all over the Province, and see how it affects them. We know that we. always have a place for every dollar we can get our hands on, and it is the same with all rural papers par- ticularly, so that the change, in - injury. It was the duty of the government to have anticipated vexatious difficulties of this kind, and in some manner provided a remedy.

The sale of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" averages about 30,000 copies a year. This is pretty well for a book entering its fortieth year. The irrepressible Yankee is said to have invented a safety seamless trousers pocket woven complete in one piece, no stitching or sewing being necessary. The Mayor of Kiowa, a woman, has closed up all the saloons and caused consternation among the topers, who a1 first did not believe that she would have the necessary backbone. A St Louis commercial traveler prob- ably carries the most unique "sample" in the profession. It is a human body, 3 years old, an example of the efficacy of a certain embalming fluid. The Michigan Central is going to have a tunnel under the river from Detroit to Windsor, if the bottom is of a character to permit construction. The Grand Trunk's example is catching. The oldlog:cabin in- St.Louis county, Mo„which Gen. Grant erected with his own hands out of timber cut and hewn by himself, is to be removed to Chicago as one of the attractions of the World's Fair. A Winnipeg telegram says: Miss Christie McEwan, of Maxwell, Ont., who has,lbeen in Calgary during the winter for her health, died suddenly Sunday night at the residence of her cousin, Dr McCallum. Wednesday night, while Kate Bran- ner, at Clarensburg, aged 12, was alone in her father's house, a burglar tried to enter through a window. The girl split his head open with an axe, killing him when he was half way through the window. . Eighty-two gentlemen who sat in the late House of Commons will not hold seats in the House. Sixth -nine of the members have been elected for the first time, while thirteen held seats in for- mer Parliaments, but were not in the last. The British budget f91r 1891 shows a surplus of two millions of pounds, al- though Great Britain has to maintain a huge navy, a large army, and au enormous pension list. Yet we al.,' told that it is impossible to raise revenue without a high customs tariff. A Wiscasset, Me., man discovered a big gash in his boot where he had cut his foot while in the woods, and just managed to get home, feeling himself growing fainter from loss of blood all the way, when somebody discoved that the gash only went through his boot, and the red color was not blood, but only a woollen stocking. The Mail -Empire libel suit, which has been so long pending, has at length been dropped. It was the old suit aris- ing oht of the Empire's charge that Farrar, when connected with the Mail, had conspired to betray Canada with the Washington authorities. Upon the Empire's with drawing the plea of just- ification the Mail abandoned the suit. The Ottawa Free Press says:— Principal Woods, formerly of Ottawa, has followed Rev W W Carson's ex- ample, and abanded Canada to accept a situation under the Stars and Stripes. Of such are our professional Conserva- tive loyalists. It is quite possible that the exodus of such men to the United States accounts for the tremendous re- duction in the Ontario Conservative vote disclosed by the returns of the re- cent election. Census Enumerator Jas. 13, Reid, of East Garafraxa, had a novel experience the other day, and probably no other enumerator in the Dominion can record a similar event. He dropped into a j certain house and asked the questions prescribed. In the house there lived two brothers and two sisters, and their com- bined ages are 306 years. The brothers' ages are 80 and 78 respectively, and the sisters' 76 and 72,' • Rey_Egerton Ryerson Young, of To- ronfo, for many years a missionary among the Cree and Salteaux Indians in theNovthwest,is lying ill at Brooklyn, N.

Teterboro' ELam iner: Granulated sugar is selling in Buffalo at 20 lbs for $J. In Canada the rate is 12 lbs or 13 lbs for S1. Thus the Canadian consumer is tariff taxed 60c on every dollar spent for sugar. Of this $large part goes to Mr - Redpath, the millionaire sugar refiner, who lives in princely splendor; in Paris on the revenue thus legally squeezed out of his Canadian "serfs,' and in re- turn makes a contribution every five years to the Conservative election cam- paign funds to keep in power the friends who permit and legalize the wholesale robbery. A case Of Inn unusual Nature was tried at the Fdrnia Assizes on Tuesday. Some years ago a I'lympton farmer named Hart deeded to his son .James a 100 -acre farm, but afterwards made a will in which he gave 50 acres of the said farm to another son and 50 to.Jam- es. A clause in the will said that if James refused to accept the 50 acres he was to get nothing. .James would not accept by will lint half of what he had been given by deed, and the execu- tors then left it for the court to decide. Iion. Justice Faloonbridge decided in favor of James, confirming his right to the 100 acme.

Engineer Fox saw a 2 -year-old child standing on the track about 100 yards ahead. Ho did all he could to stop the train, but in vain, it seemed as if the child was doomed, when Fire- man McAlha'ttan fairly snatched it from tbo jaws of death. Leap- ing from the cab he ran like a deer, while a score of anxious eyes watched the lace between the fleet footed follow and the scarcely slackening engine. The man won the race and gained a life for the prize. Ile sprang in front of the engine, snatched the child from the wheels, and handed it safely to its mother. The latter mur- mured a few broken wuids of thanks, took a fore stops, then sank to the ground powerless. A cheer was given for the fireman and the baby, and the train swept on, ALL MEN. young, old, or middle-aged, who find themselves nervous,weak and exhausted who ere broken down from excess or overwork, resulting in many of the fol- lowing symptoms ; Mental depression, premature old age, loss of vitality, loss of memory, bad dreams, dimness of sight, palpitation of the heart, emis- sions, lack of energy, pain in the kid• neys, headache, pimples on the face or body,itching or peculiar sensation about the scrotum, wasting.of the organs, diz- ziness, specks before the eyes, twitching of the muscles, eye lids and elsewhere, bashfulness, deposits in the urine, loss of will power, tenderness of the scalp and spine, weak and flabby musclos,de- sire to sleep, failure to be rested by Bleep, constipation, dullness of heariug, lose of voice, desire for solitude, excit- ability of tomper,sunken eyes surround• ed with Leaden Circle,oily looking skin, etc., are all symptoms of nervous de- bility that lead to insanity and death unless cared.

I sold 8 this season within 30days• Robt Beatty, of Orangeville, writing;to the Company says:—"In summing up my waggon sales for the last six years, 1 find I have sold over 400 Chatham Waggons, and in all that number I have not heard of one break or one loose tire. I, therefore, must congratulate you on building the best waggon in Canada." It is said by some waggon makers that they have spent a long life in the business, and that, therefore theirs is the better waggon. If this be so, how is it that this. company, who only commenced making waggons seven years ago, are now making and selling more waggons than the whole of them put together? Simply because the public appreciate the fact that undoubtedly they make the best waggon in the Dominion to -day ; and hereby invite anyone or all those waggon makers who make this claim for their waggons to, a test of waggons for ease of running and carrying capacity against the Chatham Waggon for 8100.
