The money wee pla,'ed in a large package and taken to the Holly hank. The brothora had lived upon the farm for many years, and neither had ever married, and were known as miserly men. They never employed any female help about the house, and they did their own cooking. They were sailers in early life, but quit and went to farming. --The Hamilton Young Liborale, after Yankee style, having decided that a $100 tax per annum should be imposed upuu bachelors, and a recent speaker having declared that the great- er proportion of criminale are bitches 19rs, Ald. Robinson, of Kingston, siz•'s up the situation and declares the time to have arrived for action. Hence his notice of motion for a by-law taxing the unfortunate single filen of that city. It has been suggested that this and other propositions of a similar nature are the product of \Votnen'e nights and Yankee freedom, and the exton- cion of their sphere of operations. Consumption Cured. An old physician, retired from practice, having had placed in his hands by an East India mission- ary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy for the speedy and permanent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma and all throat and Lung Affections, also a positive and radical cure for Nervous Debility and all Nervous Complaints, after having tested ire wonderful curative powers in thousands of oases, has felt it his duty to make It known to his sintering fellows.

W.A. NArns, 82U Powers' Bi ick, Rochester, N. F. ase- y -Some time ago Mr. R. Elliott, photographer, St. Thomas, addressed and sent a letter containing twenty dollars to a Toronto merchant, which never reached its destination. The post office nuthorities were notified, and an investigation took place, with the result that a clerk in the Toronto office was found to be the pilferer. A few days ego the Toronto nlercltant received eighty eight cents on the dollar for his claim. A MEMBER OF THE OF'TARIO BOARD OF HEALTH SAYS: • ' I have prescribed Scott's Emulsion in Consumption and even when the digestive powers were weak it has been followed by good results." H. P. YoonANS A. 11 ,M. 1). In his effort to ]belittle the indus- tries of Canada, Sir Richard Cart- wrigilt stated in the House of Com- mons during the tariff debate that all the sugar refineries in Canada employ- ed only 223 men. To this Ikon. Sen- ator Drummond replies that the Mon• treal refineries alone employ over 1,000 men, and to these must be added the Y four refineries of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and British Cutumbia. An other statement by Sir Richard was that the existing duty gives over $2,000,000 to the refiners. Senator Drumntond's answer to this is, that the public in Canada has not paid one cent in respect of, or in consequence of the tariff, but has had its sugar at the bare cost of production, and at a price which has averaged much below the price in the United States. There is not a housekeeper in the Dominion, says Mr. Drummond, who does not know that sugars never were 80 cheap in the whole history of the country, and to this he adda that there is not a refin- ery in Canada which during last season, paid a fraction beyond bare interest on its capital, if that. Sir Richard has been simply falsifying. Naf+.urlt's iSalton. Who knows where the graveyard Is Where the fox and the Cagie ifo t Who has seen the obsequies of the rod deer when they die?

It was a lonely road running through the pines, and I was deep in the wood when I came upon an old negro man seated by the roadside. He was blind, toothless, bald, and evidently more than eighty years old. While I was yet thirty feet away I heaad him calling in a quivering voice ! "I knowed it, chillen-I knowed yo'd cum back fur gran'daddy ! I knowed yo' wouldn't leave de ole man to die in de woods 1" "Who are you ?" I asked as I halted by him. "Fo' de Lawd ! but who's dat ? Hain't de chillen cum ?" "No. How did you come to be here in this lonely place ? Where are your chil- dren ?" "I nebber dun heard yo'r voice befo'," he slowly answered. "No; I'm travelling." "Yo' see, I'ze ole an' feeble an' hain't no good any mo'. 1)e chillen was movin' ober to Alaham', an day didn't want to take arae 'long wid 'em. So-so"— "Yon don't mean they left you here to take care of yourself ?" "Yes, dey dun put me outer de cart right yere an' driv' on. I called to 'em, but dey wouldn't stop. I heard do leetle chillen c'yin' fur gran'daddy, but William wouldn't tura back. I'ze been p'yin' and p'ayin', an' when I heard yo' cum I felt strati it was William." "If he doesn't return, what ivill you do?" I asked. "I shall ax de Lawd to take keer o' me, an' He will do it." I promisedtosend him help and rode away. It was already late in the afternoon, and by tho time the proper county official was found it was evening, and a storm was raging. He would not move till morning came, and then I rode back with him. The old man was lying very quiet, and we thought him asleep. As we lifted him up ho opened his eyes and smiled and whispered : "I keep hearin' de little chillen cryin' back fur gran'daddy ! I'zo comin', chillen ; I'ze tryln' to cotch up wid de cart 1" While we were trying to revive him from rho fainting spell which followed he straightened out and breathed his last, but with his last breath ho called out : "Hole on, chillen, hole on 1 Yo'r pore gran'daddy am done corrin'-comin' -- corn-- 1" It is rare that you hear a soldier of the war Whet of a shot which laid au enemy low, There were instances when he uonld not help but realize that his bullet earned death, but the reflection is nut a plea.uaat one. He was in battle line to hold the ground -to loud and five -to help win a vie - tory. 1f lie killed it was a legalized murder. He had the spirit of a warrior instead of a hunter. 'There wad 110 premeditation : no calm waiting and manwuvring to send a fellow being into eternity. Beyond the earthwork the ditch. Beyond the ditch the mnrderons tang:e called the abatis. Beyond the abatis those lairs culled rifle pits. They were deep enough and broad enough for graves. Sometimes they were lune enough for the corpse to he at fall length. At other Limed the body was found half doubled up, and the stiffened limbs caught at earth and atone ami root as the body was lifted out. The rifle pit was the lair—the occupant a sharpshooter—a human tiger thirsting for blood. He was not ordered to the work. He volunteered fur it. His rifle at haute had brought down deer and turkey and bear --perhaps a panther lie had brought down squirrels as they chattered at 111111 from the highest dsibs. Ile now creeps forward to a rifle pit under cover of dark• nese to i. -y his skill on human prey. From this cover we can use the glass and brim the pit almost at our feet as the sun comes up. The hunter hail been patiently waiting. He has eaten his breakfast of pork and hard tack, and washed it down with a dip from his cauteca std his rifle has been cleaned and loaded. Rifles are used here -long, heavy rifles with sights nicely adjusted. Thu pit has been .lug so as to leave a sort of shelf for the hunter to sit on. In front of him the dirt has been heaped up into a breastwork. The pits of the enemy are opposite and only halt shot away Behind the hanters aro earthworks mounting heavy guns. Three or four of the guns on either side cannot he worked be- cause of these hunters. Now watch our human tiger. The morn- ing has been quiet thus far. He desires to locate the man opposite him -to test his promptness and skill turd to judge of the weapon lie is armed with.. He lays aside his own rifle and withdraws the ramrod. He then drops his hat over it and carefully raises it into view above the heaped up dirt. It is lifted inch by inch, as if the owner was straightening himself ul, to get a iew. Crack ! Crack ! The reports were from the rifle pits to his right and left. 'l'he hunter directly opposite was not on the alert. The hat is dropped fur a moment. Filing has now begun all along the line. Not that the hunters can see each other, but as a sort of challenge or defiance. Now the hat is lifted again. It is a trick played every hour in the day. The hunter oppo- site waits until the brim is almost in view before he fires. Had there been a head under the hat his bullet would have crash- ed into it. Now begins the watching and waiting. Our hunter carefully digs at the earth be- fore him moil Ile has trade a trench for his rifle barrel to rest in. The muzzle has been stained with mud, and neither barrel nor trimmings glisten in the bright sun- shine. The hammer is raised, finger on trigger and the hunter's eye giancing along the sights. There is human prey over there behind the other dirt pile. if the hunter is flushed with pride because his bullet reached the heart of a panther in its spring, how will he feel when he knows that the leaden messenger has ploughed its way to the brain of a fellow being ? There is no excitement, no trembling, no hope rising up that the man opposite may lie close and escape death Watch ! Wait ! Watch ! If a hunter can watch and wait for an hour or two be- side a deer trail he should not complain of half a day here, were his expected prey i3 human. An hour goes by. One hunter removes his finger from the trigger and his eye from the sights and leans back to rest for a mo- ment. lie mutters his disappointment. Ilse even curses the obstinacy of his expect- ed victim. Five minutes later, with hope renewed, he resumes his vigil. The minutes creep slowly by and another half hour drags away. Ah, there is a speck of encouragement—a flitting, fleeting, shadowy something at the left of the dirt pile op- posite. Our hunter's eyes brighten. a grim smile covers his face, and his heart beats a little faster. The game is in sight, as it were. One minute — two—three — four — five. There is not a quiver of an eyelash as he looks through the sights—the finger on the trigger seems made of iron. The shadow- ing something is seen again, and now it is identified. It is a faded, dirt -stained, and ragged old cap rising out of the rifle pit and above the little earthwork. The hunter opposite is wondering if the pit is occupied by living or dead. He is making a move- ment fraught with peril, but perhaps this is his first man hunt. Up—up—up rises the cap. There is a human head under it. Crack ! ' It is Or report of our hunter's rifle, and he sinki down with a chuckle of satisfaction. Hu had caught sight of a sunbrowned forehead, bushy hair, and a pair of eyes gleamirq like those of a wild beast, and he know; that his bullet sped surely. As he siuke down the other rises to hie feet, throws up his hands, and falls in a heap, sounding his death cry as he falls. Killed 1 Shot through the head! One less enemy. And our hunter has drawn a bead on a man—surely hurried a soul into eternity—and he smiles and chuckles and feels that men must look upon him with awe and admiration ! John Ituskin's Health. It is good news that Mr. Ruskin is in suf- ficiently sound health to pursue his favorite game of chess. He has his own peculiar views upon the game, which are not those usually held. He is a determined opponent of the modern style of play, which is mark- ed by great accuracy and close analysis. He favors the more dashing gable, which, though unsound positions may be entered upon, yield results that are often of more interest.). A few years ago Mr. Ruskin wrote in the Chess Monthly a vigorous on- slaught on the style of play in vogue among the great chess masters of the day. 1' or some years past he has testified to his in- terest in chess by giving an annual prize, consisting of his own notes, to be competed for at the tournaments of the British Chess Association.

A dispatch flow Birmingham, Ala., tells of the lynching of Dick Mayes, a 15 year-old negro boy, "who assaulted Mts. Mclioyet• at St. Clair Springs last Sunday." The usual justification is added "Mayes confessed his crime." The Birmingham Age herald on last Monday told a story of this "tassult', which gives it a somewhat different character. It said: • "Richard Mayes, alias Dick Moore, colored, 19 years old, met iu the toad to day, three miles from St. Clair Springs, Mrs. AI. J. McI'oyer, a highly esteemed lady of St. Clair County. Ile made an assult on her, but failed to accomplish his intentions, as her calls for assistance frightened him away. The nogro's story is that he had a dispute with her about tearing her dress, he claiming that he stopped on it. He says she threatened to call some one, and as he had his razor in his hand he told her he would cut her 'd -d throat, and didn't clue if she did call.' 1Ie claims he did not touch her. IIe ran away from the scene when asisstance was called for. This was written before there was a lynching to be justified. It shows that the negro could not have "confea• sed his cringe,' for no crime had been committed. The boy's offence seems to have been using profane and impu- dent language toward a woman. And we of the North are expected to be- lieve that the defense of the honor of Southern women requires that for this the death penalty be inflicted and that without trial, Think of the absurdity! A negro boy steps on a wotnnn'a ureas on the street, tearing it, either acci• dentally or in a spirit of mischief. In• stead of passing ou in silence, as a well bred woman would, she begins to scold and threaten hint. He makes an insolent reply. She calls for help. He rune away, is captured and lynch- ed. A civilized community wouid bo satisfied with having him sent to the wort -house fur 30 days, or, as he was su young, to a reform school whore tis might laaur a useful trade and gond muuoere.--Bulldlo Express. iiriissels.
