KIT LINO of A SKUNK. S0111 e few ye rs ago 'I was esiding at he Old homestead, not fa from 'P' edericton, IN. N. Be and I had ot long beeu t iere befeite I was laid up with an attack ef yphoid fever. When about convalo °ante an old darkey (whoin I will c 11 Jim) -came it one morning and said, "M ma Henry, I just drove a 1 skunk into the root -house." I told him' to I go and close_ th door end keep it there until the evening, w en, if I was s rong mese , we would go o t and he could ben open he door and . let y frieed out, a I would 1 ke a running shot at him. About dusk 3 im ma1e his a pearance nd - ke p- zy 'ry o0c said, "Massa ,Iienry, tray is your' time; come along and we will have sOme fun out of that kunk." So out rwent, armed with a , double barrelled mu le.loader, prepared to, kill r cure, prec ded by Jim, wno opened t e root -house oor very cautimisly and entered. In a miniute he came out and informed me that Mr' . Skunk was in a barrel, bat. that he " did not like to disturb him for leateof the eon equences." I told him to get • an Iriehma (who was Working with my brother) to fetch a, lantern and to go into this premises an tip over the barrel containing the enemy, a d that when he ran out I would fetoh him. So Jim -and Pat, arm° with nothing hut the lantern, went into the root -house and softly closed the door after them, and I re- mained outside at a e fe distance, gun in "hand ready to fire. All t mice I heard a loud roar-aornething li e thunder -mom; periled by an exelamatio which sounded to me very much (like "GodAlinighty." Then the door suddenly opene4 and out came (pm and. Pat with aanighty zlush. As far ae I could understand from w at the nigger field, when he tipped, the ba rel ever the sk nk ran up the darkey's ide, mounted hia shoulder and then ren do n his back. This was the wise of all th4 nole, cussing and commotion, Stranise t relate no other harm wee/ &eel hut if ever a darkey Was near beociMing: a White man, Jim was on that mernOrabie occasion 'After they game out I autiously ventured in, the nigger followin with lantern in hand. I spied myf frie d curled up in a corner of the rcsothbuse. I then took a rest on the top of a harrel and let go both barrels at the polor unoffending animal. This caused the 1 ntern to explode, and what with the ern 11 of the skunk. gun- powder, paraffin oi and nigger, and with the atmosphere colo ed green, blue, red and . various other col re, all intermixed, I thought foreiertain, for some Heconds, that I was in the infernal regione.. I dropped riy gun -or what was 1 ft of it -and made for the 'door, knocking the poor darkey do -n in the aaempt to et out. After a little . time he managed t escape. When the air cleared and quiet w s resumed, we ventured in again to tee what results bdth barrels had accomplished. We found the poor brute out in two and p save and the air still very impure. Jim ot a fork and caught our Mutual enemy on the end of it and landed him out in o the open. He then came up to me and touching his hat said, Massa Henry.. ou a e a great shot- nebber took any ai bu hit him all the same for eure-an I w nt to apologize to you :for sweerin', bu pen my soul I could notshelp it,. for I houg t for sure, when thatelara crittur o awies up my stomach and-- then -ran dowi my •kok , that I was a dead and gone nigge for :ure; by golly he smelt awful bad." said "Jim, under the circumstances, I wi 1 exiuse you, this time, but never let me h ar ou swear so 'bad again" ; and I gave him ] coin to go and drink my health, -fe ling ery thankful that I came out of the se imm ge so well.

Among those on the platform were Rev. obert Warrington; of Canada ; W. H. :farp r, of Toronto, and John Barogwanath, if ictoria, Australia. Messrs.

The readiness 4all their colonial fellow -subjects to stand b the deg had been a surprise even to theme° es, ,but it had been a far greater surprise Vs continental nations who had little or n� belief in the solidarity of this empire andi who thought that Great Brit. ain's colon s were as useless and as little to be depend on as their own. It was said by some th t after this war was over, a peaoeable iiettlement of South Africa would be impossible. He did not think so. There would, no Idoubt, be many difficulties to contend w th, but in his opinion they would be overoo e by the same policy which had always su coeded throughout the empire - the policy, he meant, of extending to every part of th empire their free institutions as soon as th ee who were to receive them had shown that they were fit to make a proper uee of there- If they wanted a great object lesson in this matter they had only to look at the case Of Lower Canada, and to remem- ber that the first men that passed the Boer entrenchments at Paardeberg were French (Janadians; rspeaking French, and scarcely understanding English. (Hear, heart) He believed that when the war was over it would be necessary to send out a powerful commission from this country to regulate the settlerrierit of .s.ffairs. It was his fervent hope that en the list of that comrniseion would be find the name of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, P ime Minister of the Dominion of Canada. Hear, hear.) He could imagine nothing m re striking than the presence of that distils uiehed man upon such a commis- sion. In lia own person he would furnish an lllustiratikni of what could be done by their free i Stitutions and their equal laws. That a Fre oh -Canadian, the descendant of Frenohme ,ehould at this moment be the powerful a d popular Prime Minister of the great Dominion of Canada was in itself a esost rema kable fact. That the Minister of French des entihould in the name of Queen Victoria,fp owed to South Africa, charged with the el ty of establishing British law and British justice among the descendants of Dutehme and French Huguenots would, he thought, he a circumstance so remark- able that n even the worst or most ignor- ant of their 'enemies oould fail to be iinpree- sed by it.
