When Austria was only a dukedom, there were three rulers who won for themselves the respective titles "Cath- olic." "Glorious" and "Warlike." The first was perhaps a religious utile. lite Ferdinand the Catholic of ::pain. The second may have been like Lorenzo the 1iagniticent and the third a great war- rior. and so from these titles or nick- names we have likewise some ides+ of the conditions of the people while these dukes ruled. e •• n bad most weedertnl as- sortment has sortment of kings. One war the Little and another the Bold. One was the Stammerer, another Simple, while a thh•d and fourth were Indolent and Pair. These names are descriptive of the kings themselves, but it is hardly to be supposed that a king who was in- dolent or simple did much to further the interests of bis subjects. But when we find Robert II. culled the Sage, we realize that he ruled wisely and that the people were better off for It. ed the oceau? Columbus. NEWS NOTES Live Stock Markets. Toronto, March 3I—The local butcher trade was good at the cattle market to- day, Butchers, in fact, complaiu that butcher cnttle are dear.

Choicest butcher cattle were. fetching to -day from $4.25 to $1 50 for picked cattle; good loads, $3.75 to $4 There were some heavy rough cattle, hawevea', which are not suitable for the local butcher trade, but which sold at a lower figure. Several good loads of cattle, fiukh2d for export, were bought for butcher purposes. Some of the buyers are looking forward to it good Easter trade after the closing of the Lout season, and the picking out the choice cattle for that trade. There was quite a few export cattle offered, though evideutly the liulk of the export cattle are being held hack for the opening of nrvigation, whoa it is thought prices will be a little stiffer than they ire now fur export cattle.

The following from an exchange is terse and to the point :—This custom of hawking about subscription lists and pe- titions of one sort and another is not only a crying civil but aposiCive nuisance, au:1 should be suppressed. It has got so now tnat the assault of the subscription list promoter is not very far removed from the"stand and deliver" of the foot- pad or highwayman, with the difference in favor of the latter—as the victim has some chances of putting up a fightht with the latter if he so desires. Hawking about petitions looking for contributions to this and that and the other enterprise with which the average victim has not the slightest concern is simply black- mail—no milder term will do justice to it.
