The drought in the south-eastern part of North Carolina has oalised the swamps to dry up, and rattlesuainis are crawling about the country, biting and killing people, horses, milieu, doge, eto. Bergmann, the anareldet who shot Mr H. 0..Frick, Carnegit's Manager, et Pitts- burg, has been found guilty and sentenced to 24 years in the penitentiary and one year in theworkhouse. Trow hewing died without a will, his estate, estimated at over 0300,000, will have to be divided equally among his our sons and one daughter, after his widow has received her third of the whole. The province of Ontario will receive about 016,000 under the Ac t passed last session taxing estates over a certain amount. The cholera scare is having a disas- trous effect on the fruit growers of the Hudson River Valley. Every day fruit shippers receive notice from mer- chants in New York to discontinue *shipping fruit, as it is perishing in the markets. Many farmers in Duchess county are leaving their orchards un- touched. Lord Hagin, who belongs to one of the best families of the peerage of Ire- land, has been arrested for vagrancy, and sent to the common jail, at Win- nipeg, for two months. He was at one time an inspector in the Royal Irish Conetabelary, and still draws a hand- some pension for past services. Drink caused his fall. Mr James Fletcher, entomologist of the Dominion Experimental Farm, is at pres- ent engaged in preparing a bulletin on the horn fly, which,according to popular behalf is killing many cattle. This Mr Fletoher explains is utterly impossible. Although many reports of this character have reached him he has not been able to ,verify one single case where the fact of death from the ily has actually occurred. The little pest was introduced into America about five years ago from the south of Europe by imported stook, and it is found on cattle in Canada along the boundry all tne way from Windsor to Montreal. This is the first year, ;iowever, in which it has been noticed in Canada, Mr Fletcher, in his bulletin, will -suggest certain remedies -by -which the tly may be got rid of, and it is essential that farmers should try these remedies without delay. The quantity of milk which a cow would give when in good health is reduced fully one-half by the worry and annoyance to which the fly puts her, while at the same time the animals will not fatten. Luther Beecher. a Detroit million- aire, who has just died, owned a good deal of real estate, much of which lay idle because he wanted too high rents. He would fix the rental, and if he could not get his figure the property would lie vacant and unproductive. The store on Woodbridge street, at the foot of Shelby street, once owned by Moore, Foote & Co., has been va- cant for over fifteen years, and the dock property adjoining has, with few intervals of tenancy, been in the same condition. Several stores on Michigan avenue were untenanted for years, owing to the high rental asked. He was once asked why he did not rent these stores at a lower rental, and re- plied: "If. I reduce my rents, it will affect all the property in the neighbor- hood. All the adjoining property - holders will have to reduce their rents. I arn benefiting my fellow -property - holders by rah:sing to rent at lower rates. Some one must lose by such action, and why not I?" It would be interesting to know if the Court of Revision of Detroit reduced his taxes for vacancy. THE EXODUS. Toronto Week:—The Minister of Fi- nance, at Petrolia, waxed eloquent up- on the happy homes of Canada, but the fact is that the happiness ,of tens of thousands of homes is seriously marred by the unoccupied places which suggest the absent members, who have "bend -Weed "thek '015EVOrttinitieg 'tee earn their bread in a foreign land. Surely this question, how to keep our people in the country, is a most press- ing question in Canadian politics to- day. Yet all the comfort our minis- ters have to give us in regard to it is that contained in Sir John Thompson's assertion that the •`Gcvernment can- not control movements of population in a country." Is that so? What does control these movements? Everyone knows that they at e governed almost entirely by material considerations. Our people cross the border because they can, or believe they can, better their circumstances in respect to se- curing a livelihood, or a competence. Most of them prefer to remain in Ca- nada, and would do so but for this one consideration. No one can deny that it is a perfectly legitimate considera- tion. The plain inference is that if the Government can equalize the condi- tions, by either reducing the taxes and the cost of living in other respects, or by increasing the demand and the re- muneration of the various kinds of labor, physical and mental, it can con- trol the movements of the population. THE LOVE OF MONEY. The devil has a tight grip on the man whose god is money. The love of money kills more people than the cholera. The money -lover is never contented. No man who loves money alone can ever be made rich. When a man loves money with all his heart, he will break all the com- mandments in the decalogue to get it. The love of money is another name for the love of the devil. The more people love money, the less prospect there is they will ever live in heaven. "TIRED ALL THE TIME," Is the complaint of many poor mortals, who know not where to find relief.

Chance cannot ever be counted on, and the chances are that those who take chances miss the great chances of life—which is one of the queer things about It. As a further evidence of the peculiarities of chance, a western paper narrates a singular instance. A waggon loaded with gun- powder, this paper says, moving on 14, perfectly level road near Wenachee, Washington, exploded last week,while in the same week another waggon loaded with dynamite, drawn by a four -horse team, went over the guide not far from the same spot, and rolled one hundred feet without doing a bit of damage. The freakishness of chance was never more fully illustrated than by Ma epi- sode. It is one of those things which defy explanation, but which point a moral. The moral is; Don't take chances. MISPLACED BRAGGING. • He was a very tired looking man. Dejection was written on every line of his face, and as I was a stranger in the village with nothing to do and no one to talk to, I relieved my own pentup spirits by expressing my sympathy with him :in his troubles, whatever they were. Thanks," he said. "My chief trou- ble seems to be that I am an idiot from Idiotville, and that is incurable. I just got into a braggin' match with a stranger up in the postoffice. He het he was richer'n I was, and I took him up, just for a bluff. I told him every- thing I had, an' more too; and after awhile he gave in, sayin' as how he wouldn't have thought it. Then I said I'd swear to it, an' he said all right, an' I did, and by thunder who do you pup - pose it was ?" "I don't know," I answered. "Who?" "The tax assessor," he moaned. It was certainly a case of hard luck. HYGENIC NOTES. A tablespoonful of powdered alum sprinkled in a barrel of watei will pre- cipitate all impure matter to the bot- tom.

THE FAMOUS KOOTENAICOUNTRY The mining and timber resources of the Kootenai sections of Montana, Idaho and British Columbia are now available by the completion of the Great Northern Railway, whose short and scenic line from St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth and West Superior is now in operation through the Flathead Valley, the Kootenai country, to Spokane, the metropolis of Eastern Washington. The steamer Anerly leaves Jennings every Monday for Tobacco Plains, Wild Horse - Creek and Fort Steele, on the upper Koo- tenai. Four steamers run from Bonner's Ferry to lower Kootenai river and lake points, forming in connection with the Great Northern the most direct route to Pilot Bay, Ainsworth, Kaslo, Nelson and other mining camps and towns in the Koo- tenai and Slocan districts of British Co- lumbia.

The wonderful tricks of legerdemain, the feats of balancing, tumbling, and rope dancing performed by men and women in the theatres and circuses in this &binary, are hardly equal to the commonest tricks and feats performed by Hindu jugglers in their native land. It is a very common sight in India to see young girls balancing themselves on their heads with their heels in the ale, or to see them walking on their hands and feet with their bodies bent backwards. It is an easy thing for a girl of fifteen years to bend backwards, plunge her head into a hole eighteen inches deep, full of water and dirt, and bring up between her lips a ring that was buried in the mud. Women are not less dexterous than the girls and the men. They are fre- quently seen dancing in couples on slack ropes. one playing on the vinu or Hindu guitar, while the other poses, postures, and capers gracefully about with a vessel brimful of water in each hand, without spilling a drop. A Hindu juggler will stand a pole twenty feet high on the ground, and then climb to the top as if it was a firmly rooted tree. He fixes the top of the pole in the middle of his sash and dances around in all directions without disturbing the equilibrium of the pole. The same man, after giving an exhibi- tion of this sort, slides down the pole, takes a boy on his shoulders, climbs once more to the top, fixes the top of the pole in the hollow of his foot, and stands erect, balancing himself, with the boy on his shoulder, as easily as an average person would balance himself on one foo,t on the ground. Another very difficult act is that of balancing a sword with a broad blade, the point resting on the performer's chin; then the juggler will balance a straw on his nose, or on a small stick which he holds in his lies. While per- forming this trick the juggler some- times places a piece of thin tile on his nose and tosses up a stone which, fall- ing on the tile, breaks it to pieces. Some of the most wonderful feats of these men are performed on the slack rope. While balancing himself on the rope. the performer carries a long stick on the end of his nose. At the top of the stick is set a large tray from which wain at shells are suspended by threads. He takes in his lips a stick long enough to reach the shells, and by sudden movements of the lips hetosses each shell upon the tray without deranging anything or losing his balance. While doing this he strings beads uqpil hots() hair b3, Meade' of his tongrie, and *Wan ut any a",ittance bora his hattas,' Tiird CLflTO NWERA: Dis,tingulaitedheik?uther.

Veritable Palaces on Wheels, We propose in this article, and probabl in subsequent °nee, to introduee the ree,de •of the Nuw BEA, who are not already a quainted with him, to a very talented an popular,gentlemam A, very high compliment was once pal to a JOY, when It was said that it was ,liberal Odueation to be acquainted with he BO we may say the same of this gentlema If you wieh to Andy art, be can give yo great Luminance. If you desire pure Eng- lish, his happy °twice of words and mel dioue sentences will please your ear and d light your sem of harmony. If you wis to commune with a noble and magnan mous epirit, you have but to listen to h conversations, for he never stoops to mer frivolity and idle talk, but speaks ilvith dee es.rneetness and deliberation, and in manner which -never wearies you. If yo have any longings after a higher and pure atmosphere of refinement and culture, b come his assooiate and he will lead yo there, and it will be strange if you do no catch a little of the spirit of the poet an artist. Through all his utterances ther breathes a manly and virtuous soul. Such is the man to whom we wish to in troduce leotitrer, a writer, a paint —polished and ohaste, and if during th few minutes' conversation which we ma have concerning him, y ou should conolud that there is some truth in what we tel you, and determine to become better ao quainted with him, you will find awaitin you a very hearty welcome. He has al ready a host of admiring .friends, and i Constantly making new ones, and once yo outer the charmed circle you will thank u for introducing you, and our se,tiefactio will be complete, in knowing that we hair been the means of giving you a friend wh will be worthy of your very best thoughts Now, before going any further, allow n to show you what a privilege it would be t you to become aoquainted with him, an how much more it would be so to be a Woe friend. We assure you that you woul soon come to regard your introduction t him as one of the happy circumstances o your life. Moreover, we do not wish you to contract a friendship with him upon our sircgle testimony. Let the following evi dence weigh strongly with you, if you are unwilling to rely solely upon our opinion. A short time ago the Education Department conferred upon him the highest honor which we think it is possible for them to confer upon any one. They asked -him to visit every High School and Collegiate In. stitute in the Province of Ontario, and there is not a doubt that the teachers and pupils of those institutions regard that year which he spent with them, as one of their best and brightest. Aek them if it be not so ? Now, may we introduce you? You say, "Yes, I believe I would consider t a rare pleasure." Very well, we also will consider it a rare E rileasure, but listen once more. If you are iot yet fully persuaded, permit us to re- hearse a few things he has said, after which we will be much surprised, if you how any further hesitancy. We presume that you are fond of reading, nd as he has said some very fine things on hat topic, we shall give you a few of them rst. He say 3 that books should be read s one takes medicine, viz., upon advice, ot through advertisement, and then he ives such good advice that we will quote is own words. He begins such a very elling sentence: . . . life being very short, and the uiet hours few, we ought to waste none of hem in reading valneless books." Is not that very true? What a pity that o many of us waste our moments upon valueless books," wher. we might have nch good ones Regarding the form of goad books, he ays, "that valuable books should, in a yilieed _coma try, lee,tei thin the...reach...of. very one, printed in excellent form, for a ust price; but not in any vile, vulgar, or, y reason of smallness of type, physically njurions form, at a vile price. For we one of us need many books, and those hich we need out to be clearly printed on be beat paper, and strongly bound." He follows this with some excellent ad - ice to young men. "And I would urge pon every young man, as the beginning of is wise and due provision for his_hertgige ola,-to obtain as soon as he can, by the everest economy, a restricted, serviceable, and steadily—however slowly— increasing series of books for use through life; making his little library, of all the furniture in his room, the most studied and decorative piece; every volume having its assigned place, like a little statue in its niche, and one of the earliest and strictest lessons to the children of the house being how to turn the pages of their own literary possessions lightly, deliberately, with no chance of tearing or dogs' ears." Another paragraph forcibly shows how highly he appreciates valuable books, and what a great privilege he considers it to have them in his home, and as you read it you will doubtless feel the force of every word of it. 'We may, by good fortune, obtain a glimpse of a great poet, and hear the sound of his voice; or put a question to a man of science, and be answered good hurnoredly. We may intrude ten minutes' talk on a cabinet minister, answered probably with words worse than silence, being deceptive; or snatch, once or twice in our lives, the privilege of throwing a bouquet in the path of a princess, or arresting the kind glance of a queen. And yet these momentary chances we covet; and spend our years, and passions, and powers in pursuit of little more than these; while, meantime, there is a society continuously open to us, of people who will talk to us as long as we like, whatever our rank or occupation; talk to us in the best words they can choose, and of the things nearest their hearts. And this society, because it is so numerous and so gentle, and can be kept waiting around us all day long—kings and statesmen ling- ering patiently, not to grant audience, but to gain it 1—in those plainly furnished and narrow anterooms—our bookcase shelves— we make no account of that company, per- haps never listen to a word they would say, all day long I" We will now conclude this article with. the foregoing quotation, with the hope of continuing our conversation in next week's issue. We also hope that you are already favorably impressed with our friend. re 0- People who travel for pleasure like t have all the modern comforts end °maven clime combined, and if their route le of an ooneid.erable distanee, they desire "the ver 4 beet that is going." To many tourists a a all day or all night ride by rsil used to b r. regarded with feelings of dismay and fee n. the motion of the oars and the incessan a „ olickety-eliok of the wheels was somethin they oould not stand. But those who wie to travel now, whether for pleasure or bus nese, are not worried by any such fears. I fact travelling by rail becomes a matter o pleasure, if one only knows the line upo which to find it. The great Antericen rail pad companies have their lines now buil in every respect, so as to contribute to th greatest comfort, speed and security of th passenger, and one of very beet of thes roads—unquestionably the bast in its ex tensive territory—is the Chicago, hillwau kee & St. Paul. This organization own and operate's 0,100 miles of thorough! equipped road in various western States and its main lines radiate from Chien like the outstretched fingers of one's hand One of the main thoroughfares—a sho line, too—extends 490 miles between Chi cage and Omaha (with a branch to Siou City) through the rich, agricultural region of Northern Illinois and Central Iowa crossing the Mississippi river between Se - vanna, Illinois, and Sabula, Iowa, an g crossing the Missouri river between Conn oil Bluffs, Iowa, and Omaha, Nebraska Its railway connections beyond Omaha en able pessengers to traverse Nebraska, Colo rado,Wyorning, Utah and California. Th road bed for thie immense system is s perfect that there is scarcely an appreciabl jolt or jar, and the traveller feels just a comfortable and secure as if sitting at hom in hie own oozy parlor. In an air line the distance between Chi oago and 'Minneapolis is 400 miles, yet a person can easily cover this distance in a single night, if desired, without the slight est fear for their personal safety, or the slightest inconvenience or unpleasantness To snit the cordvenience and desires of travellers, solid trains of sleeping oars and day coaches are run daily in both direc- tions between Chicago, St. Paul and Min- neapolis, at hours which will enable the lover of beantifulscenery to rest and view, or view and rest. The train leaving Chicago at 11 p.m. passes through the lake region of Wisconsin during the night, but affords an opportunity to observe the charming scene of the Upper Mississippi river, during daylight, all the way from La Crosse to St. Paul. The train leaving Minneapolis and St. Paul in the early afternoon permits the same unequalled view of the river scenery between St. Paul and La Crosse, and an opportunity to sleep between LaCrosse and Chicago. Then there are additional through trains of coaches and parlor cars whicl, leave either terminal on the morning of each day —except Sunday—enabling passengers to scan the beauties of the Wisconsin lake region, the dells of the Wisconsin river, the fantastic rock formations near Camp Doug- las, and the never -to -be -forgotten scenery of the Upper Mississippi River and Lake Pepin. For all who may wish to journey between the great lakes and the twin cities of the Northwest, there is no railway like unto the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul. The Electric Lighted, Steam Heated Vestibule Limited, with its berth reading and other magnificent appointments, makes a verit- able palace on wheels. No home is more elaborately or exquisitely furnished than these cars are, and a ride in them 15 80 truly delightful that one feels really en- raptured with it. The Dining Car service is superb. bup- per is served on the train leaving Chicago each evening; breakfast on the train arriv- infi. at .Chicago,.eaoh.rnorning,....,.._ In making a recent trip it was the good fortune of the NEW ERA to ride over that portion of this magnificent road rur- ning between Chicago and Minnee polls, and not alone did we find the accommoda- tion all that we have painted it, but the scenery was simply enchanting, and our experience, going and coming, forms a very bright spot indeed in what was a most pleasant outing. In fact we never enjoyed _ a ride _more_ billy than we . disLavertleie_ , particular part of our journey. The gen- , oral passenger and ticket agent of this road is Mr 3r. H. Heafford, , of Chicago, who is spoken of as one of the brightest, most genial arid whole-souled railway men in the United States, and to his good judgment much of the popularity and prestige is due. who go west will gain everything by patro- nizing the C. M. Be St P.—securing the vary best of accommodation at no additional expellee, Aria" the' n 'NEW EfiA has ot the slightest hesitation in warmly recommend- ing this line to its friends. The Canadian representiative of this road is Mr Andrew J. Taylor, No. 4, Palmer House Block, Toronto, a gentleman not un- known to Clintonians, for he has been here on many occasions in the interest of the road that he go ably represents, and those requiring his services, or any information relating to travel, will , find kir Taylcir tiptop fellow, willing to do everything in hie, power to further their interests and contribute to their comfort in his particu- lar line. In April last, Mrs Aina, Sainico, wife of a professor in the State College at Tavastehims, Finlan d, was found guilty of poisoning her husband, and m ac- cordance with the mediteval law, which is still in force thee e, she was sentenced to be beheaded and her body be affixed to a beacon and burned. It was charged that Mrs Samico had been un- faithful to her husband. She strenu- ously denied this, and said her motive in killing her husband was to get the insurance of $2,500 on his life. The , case was carried to a court of appeals,- , and a decision was handed down, af- firmitig the judgment.

THE GREGARIOUSNESS OF MIND "The strangest thing to me is the gregariousness of mind," said James P. Bolivar, a quandom journalist of the untamed West. "A protectionist will not sobscribe for a free trade journal, a elevout Christian will not read an in- fidel book, a Protestant has no use for Catholic literature. No. they all want to pore over a printed page that mir- rors their own preconceived ideas.— Now, what in the name of Balaam's burro can you learn from a man who disagrees with you in nothing? You swing ever around in a circle, and a very small circle at that. It is only by a free interchange of ideas, by full and fair discussion, that progress becomes possible. This man who is not willing to subject his opinions, on any and all questions, to the crucible of controver- sy, to give the other side a patient hearing—is either a peevish intellec tual infant, or a conscious imposter who dreads discovery. A man believes thus and so, not necessarily because it is so, but because his head Is built on a particular pattern, or has had a certain class of phenomena filtered through it. The average human head, like an egg, acquires the flavor of its environment; it is chiefly a question of external con- ditions,whether it will adorn the shoul- ders of Mohammedan or Buddhist, Protestant or Catholic, Democrat or Republican. Yet we are wonderfully 'sot' in our opinions, feel a supreme con- tempt for people who do not think as we do, even insist that they will be de- servedly damned for daring to disagree with us.
