I was just about this time that I sold

Now it was that Lovely showed upin

'bragged he was worth abraee of lazy 'a I exit=

As for those mules, he was harder on them
than any dare -driver before the war. All
day he travelled with his one good eye on the

I pressed on for Total Wreck, But nistead
of riding ahead, as of old, when I had some

it moue to me who the detective had been.
There was Lovely, all beaten out, too stiff
and lame to hobble another step, yet with
his longest ear proudly cocked as Ile seamed
the company and counted his flock once more

A Quick Oapture.
HAAtu.Tox August 19.—Three Dundas
bnrglars nade a raid on Friday on the village
of Beamsville. The first house they visited
was that of Mr. Robert Shepherd, and from
this place they stole two suits of olothes and
about 520 in cash. A visit to the dwelling
of Mr. John Holloway was next paid, and
50 was found there, although the rascals
fortunately failed to discover a large sum of
money which was hidden in the house. A
silver watch and ele was next taken from
Mr, M. Linlan's house, and by this time the
news had spread. The villagers were up in
arms and anxious to sooure the burglars. A.
number of searching parties were formed
and distributed with the hope of 'souring
the rascals, and the squad led by Consteble
Sthflard was lucky enough to sight them
near the railway station. The men ran °fres
soon as observed an4 a long chase followed,
the pursuers eventually running down their
quarry in the woods. When arrested the
men gave the names of Wm. Aikina, Jas.
Mills and Adam Bowman, and stated that
they came from Dundee. The stolon gar-
ments wore found on the misoners, and ono
of their number pointed out to Constable
Stuffard where the watch and money were
hid in the woods.

To Make Paris a Port.
Political tension having ceased in Par is
there is murh talk nf a scheme interesting
the trade and induetry both of Viand and
England. There has long been an idea of
making Paris a port by a wide canal to Ole
sea, one of those seductive schemes the very
grandeur of .whieh indeffiritely postponee
tnem. Still the notion of saving the time
and expense of breaking bulk in receiving
goods ;tom all parts of the world has con.
Untied to engage men's minds. Paris is a
great producer and. °enamour, exporting end
importing more than a dozen great ports pu 1
together. It seemed, therefore, that the
Seiim should be for Paris what. the Thanes
is for Londoto Moreover, one hundred
minions have been expended in deepening
the Seine between Paris and Rouen so as to
allow vessels Of 000 or 700 tons to reach
Paris The depth between Havre and Rouen
is 18 feet, but the depth of 10 feet between
Rouen and Paris is sufficient for the coast-
ing trade. A., French engineer has devised
an apparatus, however, enabling 1,000 -ton
vessels to come up to Paris with theprosent
depth of water. A Paris navigation com-
pany has been formed which intende to
build, chiefly in Eng/nad, thirty or forty
