Clinton to Halifax and Returns
NOTES BY THE WAY—NO. IV
In our first letter we neglected stat-
ing that church service was held on
the train Sunday morning at 10.30.
Rev, Bro. Walsh, deputy grand chap-
lain, assisted by Rev. Mr. Kingsford,
of Newark, N. J., both Church of
England, engaged in the service and
reading a portion of Scripture. The
Bible used on the occasion was printed
in 1688. All joined in singing and
responding most heartily. Earlier in
the morning a most exciting • incident
occurred. A devout Roman Catholic
on rising from his berth prayed aloud
to the many revered Saints and finally
asked if there was not a Catholic
present to respond. Bro. Burnett
replied that we were "all Catholics,
but not Roman Catholics." In less
time than it takes to tell it the man of
prayer was going through various
evolutions and Sullivan contortions,
with clutched fist, in front of Bro.
Burnett. He was in for gore, but his
passions were soon allayed by moral
suasion. He was evidently off his base
—not quite sound in body or mind. On
this same train Sunday morning I had
the pleasure of sleeting Mr. Thos. F.
G.. Foisy, the celebrated piano manu-
facturer of 214 Avenue Papineau, Mon-
treal. The gentleman is an excellent
conversationalist, but was so ill that he
could not complete his wardrobe or eat
the tempting breakfast prepared for
him. The writer has travelled enough
to have some experience how to start
out and Mr. Foisy knew what was
required. A little "sealed club" .was
administered and in the course cf half
an hour he thanked an Orangeman for
restoring to health a Roman Catholic,
On Sunday afternoon Major White,
Col. White, Col. Scott and the writer
engaged a cab to see the • sights, but
ram shortly after came down in
torrents and we had to hurriedly return
to the Lovett House. In the evening
Col. Hogg, Col. White, the writer an
a fourth party Whose name we cannot
recall, attended St. Luke's Church, the
pro -cathedral already referred to. The
Rector is Rev, E. P. Crawford, who at
one time gained considerable notoriety
in Hamilton, Ont. In the service he
was assisted by Dean Gilpin and Dr.'
Bullock. A prominent feature was
the surplice choir, consisting of boys
from four years up, young men and
elderly gentlemen, all with well trained
voices; the singing was indeed perfect
and the sermon an able one.
Monday morning the party were
tendered a free excursion on a tug
around the Northwest Arm and out to
open sea, a distance of eight or ten
miles. There was good demand for
empty bottles and flasks in which to
secure from the bosom of the salted
sea samples of water for friends at
home.
In the afternoon a half dozen of the
delegates secured a guide and row boat
at 25 cents each in order that the
British roan -of -war "Crescent" might
be visited. Being visitors day, the
party, including W. J. Parkhill, Mid-
land; Major White, St. Marys; Col.
White, (Guelph, Were assured there
would be no difficulty in getting on
board. It so happened there was at
the time a French man-of-war in the
harbor, by name "Crossieur La Laclo-
cherie," and all insisted on visitingher
first, providing permission coud be
obtained to go on board. Col. Scott,
of Kincardine, who by the way is a
failure as an interpreter, was successful
in his great effort and the party were
soon onboard. The first sights would
not impress one with the Golden Rule
of cleaniness. Hem and there a marin-
er soldier was seen stretched out on
deck, sleeping, with a two months
growth of beard on their faces, the
extreme heat of Old Sol literally frying
the grease out of them. Then two
squads of what we "land lubbers"
would call infantry greeted our eyes.
They were being put through tiring
exercise in kneeling position. The
moment the commanding officer gave
the word of command it was repeated
by the squad together and the rifles
were brought to the position with an
"ooh." Beyond this, on the deck, the
party gazed .uppon two low -set milch
cows, in Anything but a clean condition
as far ae the fleck was concerned. The
vationS catnip pieces were apparently
in good cot►flition, but were virtually

weapons of wrfare were numerous on
the second dI k below and the soldiery

and presentitble. After. t'.tipping" the
guide --a most reprehensible• custom-'-
the party�� set out for the British

very courteously, apd auide at
once placed at our disposal by one of
the commanding Officers. What a
contrast between what we had just left
and the than-of:war we were now on
Everything clean—so clean that a
tempting surloin or delicious ham and
eggs might be served on the bare deck..
Is it to be wondered at, then, that
Cauadiains and all Britishers should
have a high opinion of Britain's un-
conquerable Navy ? Certainly not.
And the guns and torpedoes and other
weapons of death ! On the "th escent"
there are fourteen pieces and we were
informed thatsbe could on three minu
tes notice he in action throwing canon
and shell into' the enemy. On the
"Crescent" are several quick firing guns
and these as well as the others protect
the firer by shields. It is simply won-
derful how a man can work, control,
raise, lower and manipulate with ease
a 22 -ton gun ; but such is a fact. Be-
low the upper deck is several steerage
apartments worked by such a complete
system of mechanism that the heat
night be pierced by the emenyat sev-
eral points, the apartments filled with
water, and still the ship would be un-
der full control. The men are drilled
on land as well as at sea, because they
are expected, if occasion arises, to fight
on either. The magazine on the boat,
the guide stated, contained enough
powder to blow up the whole city of
Halifax. Everything from top to bot-
tom was clean and tidy, the men gen-
tlemanly and trim in appearance.
Leaving the "Crescent" we made for
shore and reached our boarding house
in time for tea. The Grand Black
Chapter was to meet on Monday night,
but things we're not satisfactory since
the official documents, though check-
ed through from Toronto in good time,
had failed to arrive.

The Big Snake.
THAT MCAS SHOT NEAR MONTREAL NOW
ON VIEW IN THAT CITY.
IT IS 32i FEET LONG.
The Back River sea serpent, shot on
Friday by 3. Meadows, has caused a
big sensation in Montreal. It is un-
doubtedly a genuine sea serpent, or
more definitely it is a specimen, and a
lat'ge-sized one, of that species of reptile
seen in so many inland waters during
the summer and previous years.
When the serpent was •shot it had
raised its head about six feet above the
surface of the water in the style that
has so often been graphically described
and just as often doubted.
HOW THE SERPENT WAS SHOT.
This is the story as told by the Mont-
real Herald : Friday afternoon Mr.
Samuel Meadows, artist, living at 260
Richinond street ; Charles Greenwood,
of 285 St. Martin street ; E. Douglas,
of Notre Dame street, and Fred Morris
started for a fishing and shooting ex-
pedition to Back River. They secured
a boat and went out looking for fish,
hut they little dreamed of the extraor-
dinary game that was in store for them,.
Ifni fact, just about 4 o'clock someone
made the remark that it was time to
go and:get something to eat. At that
moment the' attention of the party was
attracted hy some extraordinary flsh
which had lifted his head over a foot
above the surface of the water. There
have been such stories told this sum-
mer of the sea serpent that the suspic-
ions of the party were immediately
aroused. Mr. Meadows, who is a mem-
ber of the Prince of Wales Rifles,
grasped his gun atsd awaited a second
appearance of the monster. It was
not slow in again showing its head.
LIKE THE TRUNK OF A BIG TREE.
It did not look aggressive, but rather
inquisitive and perfectly calm. But
Mr. Meadows did not stop to he at-
tacked. He was within two hundred
feet, and he seized the opportunity to
fire. In' an instant an immense body
like the trunk of some big tree rose
above the water with a hiss, then fall-
ing hack, began to writhe violently,
beating the water into a foam for a
hundred feet around. Were our
friends afraid P It would be impertin-
ent to ask them. They admit that
they began to row away. But the fury
and struggles of the monster quickly
subsided, and he appeared floating
quietly on the water like a log. Our
fishermen paused, then cantiously ap-
proached. In his agony the serpent
had drawn near the shore, and was
lyitig in about four feet of water. Mr.
E. Douglas boldly jumped into the
water to grapple the body of the giant
reptile and draw it ashore, where the
victors could examine their capture.
DESCRIPTION OF THE SEA SERPENT.
The scene was near the iron bridge
at Sault au Recollet. A crowd quickly
gathered, but no one has ever seen the
like of it. The body by actual meas-
urement was 321 feet long, and meas-
ured 3 feet 9 inches around the thickest
part of the body. Around the head
the citcumferencewas 18 inches. It, had
short fins extending over the head and
neck, but the back was perfectly
smooth, rather flat in the broadest part
of the body. The skin is almost black
over the hack, and grows paler to
white under the belly. It is perfectly
smooth. There are two flippers on
each side of the neck, hut no
signs of feet, the jaws are reddish find
have sharp teeth about one-half inch in
length. The eyes are about one inch
in diameter. a bright, yellow, with just
a small black spot in the centre. The
shot from Meadows' rifle took effect in
the neck about eighteen inches from
the mouth, It took sik men to carry
the body to Mr. Peloguin's hotel. It
has been put in a solution of saltpetre
and salts of ammonia, which, it is said
will preserve it.

caprieious and needs coaxing, that is
just the reason they impAwe so rapid-

THE '1,441 D $$n„im. i ' n
or
kChsraniugrdtUTale Aytlllilertrkorker..
The five bl;otherts lived with laouison.
Pontiac, and ? edallon came . to know
them first through haying WQld theta,
at an auction, a sale of an adjoining
farm. tie had been invited ta'their
home, intimacy had grown and after-
wards, having a severe filness, he had
been taken into the household and
kept there until he. was well again.
The night of the arrival Louison, the
sister, stood with a' brother on either
hand --Octave and Florian—and receiv-
ed hila with courtesy more stately
than usual, an expression of the re-
serve and modesty of her single state.
This maidenly dignity was at all times
shielded by the ave brothers, who
treated her with a constant and re-
verential courtesy. There wah some-
thing signally suggestive in their hom-
age, and Medallion concluded at last
that it was paid not only to the sister
but to something that gave her great
importance in their eyes.
He puzzled long and finally decided
that Louison had a romance. There
was something in the way they said
"P'tite Loulson," in the way they
avoided all gossip regarding marriages
and marriage feasfing,in the way P'tite
Louison's opinion was accepted in-
stantly as final, with triumphant and
satisfied nods on the part of all the
brothers, and with whispers of " How
clever !"—"How adorable !" " Such
beauty !"
P'tite Louison affected never to hear
these remarks, but looked complacent-
ly straight before her, stirring the
spoon in the bread and butter. She
was quite aware of the adoration in
which she was heid, and she grace-
fully accepted the fact that she was
an object of interest.
Medallion had not the heart to laugh
at the homage of her brothers, nor at
the outlandish sister, for though she
was angular and sallow and thin, and
•
her,hands were large and red, there
was a something deep in her eyes, a
curious quality in her carriage which
commanded respect. She had ruled
these brothers, had been worshipped
by them for nearly half a century, and
the romance they had kept alive had
produced a grotesque serf of truth and
beauty in the admiring "P'tite Lout -
son," an aktecttonate name for her
greatness- like the ' "'Little Corporal "
for Napoleon. She was not little either
but about the middle height, and her
hair was well streaked with gray.
Her manner towards Madelllon was
not marked by any affectation. She
was friendly in a kind, impersonal
way, much as a nurse cares for a pa-
tient, and she never relaxed a sort of
old-fashioned courtesy, which might
have been trying in such close quart-
ers were it not for the real simplicity
of the life and the spirit and lightness
of their race. One night Florian—there
were Fiarian and Octave and Felix
and Isidore and Emily—the eldest drew
her aside from the others, and they
walked together by the river. Flo-
rlan's air suggested confidence and
mystery, and soon, with a voice of
hushed suggestion. he told Medillion
the romance of P'tite Louison. And
each of the brothers at different times
during the next two weeks did the
same, differing scarcely at all in de-
tails or choice of phrase or meaning,and
not at all in general facts and essen-
tials. But each, as he ended, made a
different exclamation.
"Voila ! so sad, so wonderful ! She
keeps the ring—dear P'ttte Louison !
Bald Florian, the eldest.
"Alors ! she gives him a legacy in
her will—sweet P'tite Louison !" said
Octave.
"Mais ! the Governor and the Cardi-
nal admire her—P'tite Louison 1" said
Felix,nodding confidently at Medallion.
"Bien ! you should see the linen and
the petticoats !" said Isadore, the hum-
orous one of the family. "He was
great—she was an angel—P'tlte Lout -
son joli !"
Attends ! what love 1 what hist9�Ty!
what passion!—the perfect P'tite Loui-
son !" cried Emile, the youngest; the
most sentimental: "Ah, Moliere 1" he
added, as if calling on the master to
Ti$e and sing the glories of this
daughter of romance. Isadore's tole
was after this fashion :
"I ver' well remember the first of It,
and the last of it—who can tell ? He
was an actor—ah, so droll, that. Tall,
ver' smart. and he plays in theatre at
Montreal. It is in the winter. P'tite
Loulson visit Montreal. She walk past
the theatre and as she go by she slip
on the snow and fall. Out from a door
with a jump come M'sleu Hadrian, and
pick her up. And when he see the
pretty face of P'tite Loulson his eyes
go all fire, and he clasp her hand to
his breast."
" 'Mademoiselle ! Mademoiselle r he
say, 'we must meet again "
"She thank him and hurry away
quick. Next day she is skating, and
she try to do the dance of the Blue Fox
upon the ice. While She do it, some
one come up swat, and catch her hand,
and say, 'Mademoiselle, let's do it to-
gether—like dat. It take her breath
away. It is M'aleu Hadrian. He not
seem like the other man she know,
but he have a sharp look, he is smooth
in the face and he smile kind like a
woman. P'tite Louison, she give him
her hand, and they run away, and
every one stop to look. It is a grand
sight. He laugh and his teeth shine,
and the ladies say things cif him, and
he tell P'tite Louison that she look
ver' fine and walk like a queen - I am
there that day and I see all, and I
think it damn good. I say 'That P'tlte
Louison, she beat them all,—I am only
twelve years old then. When he leave
he give her t-vo seats for the theatre,
and we go. By gosh, that is grand
thing—that play, and M'sleu Hadrian,
he is a prince; and my lord, I will
marry out of my state, and where my
heart go, not as the state wills,' he
look down at P'tite Louison, and she
go all red, and some of the women
look at her, and there is a whisper all
round.
"Nex' day he come to the house
where we stay, but the cure come also
pretty soon and tell her She must go
home. And so we come out home.
Well, what db you think ! Nex' day
M'steu Hadrian come too, and we have
damn good time—Florian, Octave, Fe-
lix, Emile, they all sit and say : 'Par-
foltement !' 'C1,01 !' to him all the time.
Holy, what fine stories he tell 1 And he
talk about P'tite Louison, and his eyes
get wet, and Emile say hie ,pr'airers to
him—fay gosh. Yes 1 thinly. Well, at
last, what sou guess ' M'eiei, he conte
end conte, end at last one day he arty
that he leave Montreal and Ws to New
'front, where he get a good place in a
big theatre; his time in Montreal is
anisic. So he speak to Florian end say
he want to marry P'tite Loulson, and
he say, of coure, that he is not marry
and he have money. But he is a 1'ro-
teatan', and the cure at brat ver' mad,
by gosh ! But at last when he give a
hander dollars to the church, the cure
say yes. All happy that way for while.
P'tite Loulson, she get ready quick—
holy, what fine things had she, and
Is all to be done in a week, while the
theatre in New York wait for M'sieu.
And he sit there with us, and play on
the fiddle, and sing songs and act plays
and help Florian .ln the barn, and Oc-
tave to mend the fence, and the cure
to fix the grapevines on his wall. And
he show me and Emile how to play
sword sticks; and he pick flowers and
fetch them to P'tlte Louison and show
her how to make an omelette and .
salad like the chef of the Louis Quinze
Hotel, so to ray. By gosh, what a
good time we have, but first one and
then another, he get a sob in his
throat when he think that P'tite Loui-
son go to leave us, and the more we
try the more we are damn fools. And
that P'tlte Louison, she kiss every one
and say to M'sieu Hadrian, 'Charles, I
love you, but I cannot go. He laugh
at her, and say : 'Voila, we will take
them all with us.' That night a thing
happen. The cure come and he look
ver' mad, and he frown, and he say to
M'sleu Hadrian before us all : 'M'sieu.
you are married !'
"By gosh, that P'tite Louison get
)Dale like snow,. and we all stand round
her close and say to her quick : 'Cour-
age, P'tlte Loulson,' M'sieu Hadrian
then look at the priest and said : 'No,
M'sieu; I was married ten years ago;
my wife drink and go wrong and I get
divorce:, I am free like the wind.'
" 'You are not free,' the cure say
quick, 'once married, married till death.
The Church cannot -marry you again,
and I command Louison to give you
up.'
"P'tite Louison stand like stone.
M'sieu turn to her. What shall it be,
Loulson ?' he say. 'You Will come
with me ?'
"Kiss me, Charles,' she say, 'and tell
me good -by till—till you are free.'
"He look like a madman. 'Kiss me
once, Charles,' she say, 'and let me go.'
"And he come to her and kiss her on
the lips once, and he say, 'Louison,
come with me. I will never give you
up.'
"She draw back to Florian. "Good -
by, Charles,' she say. 'I will wait as
long as you will. Mother of God, how
hard it is to do right 1' she say, and
then she turn and leave the room,
"'M'steu Hadrian, he gave a long
sigh. 'It was my one chance,' he say.
'Now the devil take it all.' Then he
nod and say to the cure : 'We'll thrash
this out at Judgment Day, M'sieu.
I'll meet you there—you and the wo-
man that spoiled me.'
"He turn to Florian and the rest of
us and shake hands, and say, 'Take
care of Louison. Thank you, Good -by.'
Then he stare towards the door and
stumble, for he look sick. 'Give me a
drink,' he say, and begin to cough a
little—a queer sort of rattle. Florian
give him a big drink, and he toss it
off. 'Thank you,' he say, and start
again, and we see him walk away over
the hill ver' slow, and he never come
back ! But every year there comes
from New York a box of flowers, and
every year P'tite Louison send him a
Merci, Charles, mille lois. Dleu to
garde.' It is so every year for twenty-
five year."
"Where is he now ?" asked Medal -
1
Isadore shook his head, then lifted
his eyes religiously. "Waiting for
Judgment Day and P'tite Louison," he
answered.
"Dead !" cried Medallion. "How
long ?"
"Twenty years."
"But the flowers—the flowers ?"
"He left word for them to be sent
just the same. The daughter, the
child of the other woman, sent them."
Medallion took off his hat reverently
as if a'son were passing from the
world, but it was only P'tite Loulson
going out into the garden.
"She thinks him living ?" he asked,
gently.
"Yes, we have no heart to tell her.
And then he wished it so. And the
flowers kep' coming."
"Why did he wish it so ?"
Isidore mused a while. "Who can
tell ? Perhaps a whim. He was a
great actor—ah, yes, sublime 1" he
said.
Medallion did not reply, but walked
slowly down to where P'ttte Louison
was picking berries. His hat was off
still.
"Let me help you, mademoiselle," he
said softly. And henceforth he was
as foolish as her brothers.
GILBERT PARKER.
A ]tare Instance.
Although difficult to believe, it is
nevertheless true that the death os
two half-sisters, the daughters of the
same father, occurred 170 years apart.
The grandfather of the British Minis-
ter, Charles James Fox. Sir Stephen
Fox, married In 1654, and had a
daughter born to him in 1655, who
died in the course of the same year.
He had several other children, who
grew up and married, but all of them
died before their father, and without
Issue. Sir Stephen, not wishing his
large fortune to fall into the hands of
distant relatives, married again at a
very advanced age, and his youngest
daughter was born in 1727. She reach-
ed the age of 98 years and died in
1825, that is, 170 years after the death
of her oldest sister. She saw Queen
Victoria when the latter was a child,
while her half-sister was carried in the
arms of Oliver Cromwell.
Cycles as Passenger Vehicles.
Public cycles as passenger vehicles
have appeared in the streets of Lon-
don. Whether they are tricycles or
quadrlcycles we are not informed, but
they are said to be operated by two
men, and to have hireable seats for
two passengers besides. For many
years past, or long before the pneuma-
tic tires made the bicycle a machine of
practical use, the London butchers and
green grocers, and various other
tradesmen have used the tricycles,
driven by lusty boys usually, for the
delivery of small articles.

Law Should Be $upreine.
Charles Bradlaugh was expelled from
the house of commons because he
wouldn't take the customary oath.
His constituents re-elected hire three
times, and he was finally allowed to
,take his seat, the law being changed,
allowing an affirmation, instead of an
oath, to suit his case. John Daly, the
Irish dynamiter, now serving a sen-
tence in prison for treason -felony, was
elected to the house of commons by the
electors of- Limerick, and the house
has just agreed to declare the seat
vacant because a convicted felon is not
eligitZle for election as a member of
parliament. The people of Limerick
may re-elect Daly, as the North
ton people re-elected Bradlaugh;
it is hardly likely that the law wil be
changed in order that a dynamite thug
may he allowed to assist in making
laws for the United Kingdom.

REV. L. W. SHOWERS
GIVES HIS EXPERIENCE WITII ORGANIC
HEART DISEASE—THE DREAD MALADY
ON THE INCREASE.
For many years my greatest enemy
has been organic heart disease. From
an uneasiness ahont'the heart, with
palpitation more or less severe, it had
developed into abnormal action,
thumping, fluttering, and choking
sensations, Dull pain with a peculiar
warm feeling were ever present near
the heart. I have tried many physi-
cians and taken numerless remedies
with very little benefit. Seeing Dr.
Agnew's Cure for the Heart advertised
in the Kittanning, Pa., papers, I pur-
chased a bottle and began its use, re-
ceiving almost instant relief. I have
now taken several bottles of the rem-
edy and can speak most highly in its
favor. The choking, abnormal beating,
thumping and palpitation have almost
entirely disappeared. The remedy is
certainly a wonder -worker, for my case
was chronic. Rev. L. W. Showers,
