AMERICAN TALK ABOUT.
CANADA.
'The Americans cant do without

Canadian markets to sell their. pro-
duce in. If we giye theta the whole
earth they will give us a couple of
bucketfuls and call it recoprooity.
The United States sonata com-
mittee on the relations with Canada
began its public heariugs iu Boston
last week. Representative E. A.
Morse, of Canton, addressed the
committee. He said he did nal
think it profitable for the United
States and Canada to retain an army
of revenue officers ou each side of a
line 3,000 miles long.
DR. FULTON AND THE
VIRGIN.
No little surprise was felt when
the news reached this country that
the Rev. Dr. Fulton, who is well
known in Canada, had said, at a
public meeting at Duine, Eng., that
the "Virgin Mary was not much of
a virgin." Ae the Rev. J. G. Gre-
gory, Incumbent of Emmanuel
Church, Brighton, president at the
meeting, and did not rebuke. Dr.
Fulton, but on the countrary per-
mitted laughter to be- indulged
without a protest, the Bishop of
Chichester has addressed the follow-
ing letter to him.—
Chichester, Aug. 29, 18$9.
"REVEREND AND DEAR SIR : At a
public meeting in the Dome ou
Aug. 16, you being in the chair, Dr.
Fulton, whom yon introduced, is
reported to have said, 'that the
Virgin Mary was not much of a
virgin."This provoked laughter.
On reading this profane utterance I
was shocked, but I hoped that the
lecturer might have been misunder
stood or misrepresented. But at a
meeting at Fishergate on Aug. 21,
Dr..Fulton admitted the accuracy
of the report of his address as to
this particular point, and proceeded
to justify it by a process of illustra
tion even worse than the original
statement.

later on, very good.
Fx-Governor William Clafton,
epeakiug for'tbe shoe and leather
industry, said that that industry
was largely in favor of reciprocity
with Canada. The idea that the re-
moval of the duty on hides had
anything to do with the export of
leather was fallacious. The people
of New England were generally
favorable to closer relations with
Canada. Canadians who came here
made good citizens. He did not
think the removal of the tariff on
manufactured cotton geode would
drive that iuduetry out of New
England. It might have done so
at one time, but the effect now
would be to reduce the wages of our
operatives to a level with those in
Europe.
Osborne hows, jr., secretary of
the Boston underwriters' union,
said that the underwriters desired
reciprooity with Canada because
large profits. were derived from com-
mieeioo %JOU the ailt9tlnt Of busi-
ness transacted in that country.

If Canada would conform its pro-
tective tariff to ours and consent to
a just. adjustment of the fishery
difficulty he would favor a reciproci-
ty treaty. The interstate commerce
law he considered most unjust to
American railroads, driving business
away to parallel lines in Canada.
Something must be done to protect
ourlrailroods from Canadian competi-
tion. New England must increase
her own food supply and' tier manu-
facturers must be nearer their
market mud' places of coneumption.
S. P. Hibberd, of the chamber of
commerce, said he came from Can-
ade twentyfive years ago and he bo-
lieved the reciprocity then in force
was better for both nations than
anything in force since. He believ-
ed in annexation and would oppose
any policy to hinder such consum-
tnation. He believed the general
opinion iu Canada was that the ex-
tension of commercial interests
would soon lead to annexation.
Cabadian rbads gave Boston better
service than Americau.
B. F. Dutts, of Boston, said all
the fishing interests of Boston had
been in favor of reciprocity. Can-
ada had much to give in return, as
99 percent of the fish brought to
American ports by American vessels
were stolen front .1 the three-mile
limit, and American fishermen must
have Cauedian bait.
"Now, I do not presume to in-
terfere with your freedom of action,
or to en -oration your right to attend
or preside over any meeting, and
though I may widely differ from
your controversial statements and
arguments, and atilt more froth- the
tone and spirit of the lecturer's ad-
dresses, I should not think it my
duty to offer any, obsorvatiens on
the coarse you have thought fit to
pursue. Tl:e inspection of religious
houses, under proper authority, and
with due safeguards in order to
prevent alleged abuses, may. very
reasonably be asked from Parlia-
ment, and that was the special
object of the meeting iu the Dome.
"But when a fundamental doc-
trine of the Christian faith is open-
ly assailed in your presence, I bold
it to bo your duty to stand up for
the faith as it is in Jesus and to re-
buke the gainsayer. Now, the lec-
ture in attacking, and I must say,
vilifying the Virgin Mary did, in
fact, attack the Incarnation of our
Lord Jesus Christ as Holy Scripture
presents it. The whole scheme of
man's redemption mete on the In -
cat nation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

of all mysteries, the Virgin Mary
was the pure and holy channel.

Aideu Spears thought annexation
the best solution of the problem
and commercial union the next boat,
but though both wereleimpracticable
at present. He thought the re-
enactment of the treaty of 1854
eliminating fish would be to the
edvantage of both countries. Mr.
Speare gave statistics to show -ilea
advantage that would accrue from
making coal and pig iron free. He
pronounced agaiust the last fishery
treaty and advocated retaliatory
measures.
•
T. Jefferaou Coolidge, represent-
ing the Antoskage manufacturing
company of Manchester, N. H., said
he was largely interested in the
cotton manufacturing industry.
Since the abrogation of the reciproci-
ty treaty his company had made no
sales in Canada, but when it was in
effect they made sales there. He
thought any interference with Cana-
dian roads wo il:l be a misfortune
to New Euglaud. His company
would have to send its goods by
way of Now York at additional ex-
pellee,- which, with the small profits
now realized, could not be sustained
by new . England iutreai's. He
believed in the scheme of a zolivere-
in.
A S'l.pZBN HOLIDAY,
cniAPTER•
1,
'Carew,' TomunY Smith used to
ray, ' are like blessings ; they some-
times come in disguise.' When he
raid thin he" was thinking of his
marrjaga.
Tommy Smith was a youthful
barrister without fortune end with-
out practice. Previous to bis mar-
riage ha had earned a precarious
livelihood by writing for the press;
since he had had a wife he had
lived very comfortably on her in-
come. Still at times he regretted,
or pretended to regret, the old days.
Then, as he was accustomed to say,
he might occasionally have to go
without his dinner ; but he always
bad his fill of liberty—a thing
which, since hie marriage, be cer-
tainly had enjoyed to an extremely
liiatited exteut.
Ah, my friends,' he used to say
to his old chums of an evening, as
he prepared to start for the domes
tic hearth, ' Ah, my Mende, believe
me, there's nothing in this world
can compensate a man for having
to go home for his tea.'
Though Tommy was, no doubt,
kept pretty strictly at home, still he
contrived—during the day, if not
during the evening—to see a good
deal of hie former associates. On
the plea of attempting to work up a
practice at the bar, be induced his
wife to consent to hie retaining
chembere at the Temple. To theee
he wended his way every morning,
and there he spent many a pleseant
hour, chatting over old tithes with
old cronies who dropped iu to have
a glees of wino with their prosper-
ous friend. Mrs. ' Smith knew
nothing, ofthese little diversions,
and Tammy, well aware that she re-
garded his friends of his 'bachelor
days with suspicion and dislike,
took good care thatehe should know
nothing of them.

ORIENTAL JUSTICE.
•
Dr. Henry M. Scudder relates a
case of oriental justice that could
hardly be outdone for sharp and
subtle discriminations. Four men
partners in business, bought some
cotton bales. That the rats might
not destroy the cotton, they pur
chased a cat. They agreed that
each of the four should own a
particular leg of the cat ; and each
adorned with beads and other orna-
ments the leg thus apportioned to
hitn. The cat, by an accident,
injured one of its legs. The owuer
of that member wound about it a
rag soaked in oil. The cat, going
too near the fire, set the rag on fire,
and, being in great pain, rushed in
among the cotton bales where she
was accuetomed to hunt rats.
The cotton thereby took fire and
was burned up. It was a total loss.
Tho three other partners brought
an action to recover the value of
the cotton against the fourth part-
ner who owned the particular leg
of the cat. The judge examined
the case and decided thus :—"The
leg that lead the oil rag on was
hurt ; the cat could not use that
leg—in fact, it held up that log and
.rau with the other three legs. The
throe unhurt legs therefore carried
the tiro to the cotton, and are alone
culpable. The injured leg is not
to be blamed. Tho three partners
who owned the three legs with
which the cat ran to the cotton will
pay the whole value of the bales to
the partner who was the proprietor
of the injured leg."
Hon. Jonathan Lano, represent-
ing the Beaton merchants' associa-
tion, thought commercial union
would bo of advantage to both coun-
tries. He believed it would bo a
good thing if the custom houses
from tho Atlantic to the Pacific
could be abolished.

'Perhaps she might want to come'
with me,' he said, at Lust-
' Pooh 1 pooh 4' replied Mr.
Smith, ' you must put your foot
down on that. Tell her that life in
it French camp is a frightful thing
for .a lady --that you couldn't hear
of her being in such a place.'
If qhs by any accident found
the trick out, said Toniuty, doubt-
fully, 'there would be the deuce to
pay'
' But she can't dad it out,' re-
plied Mr. Snaith ; ' that's simply
out of the question. To tell you
the truth I believe it's far more
likely to do you good with her than
harm. If you ouly managed the
thing properly—•tell her a few
crania, you know, about being tired
doing nothing, and wanting to
make a name for yourself, and the
good it is likely to do you in your
profession—she'll swallow it all—
she'll think you're a regular hero.'
' But then,' said Tomrny, ' I
would not be admitted to the camp,
the French authorities would not
give passes he two correspondents
from the Comet.'
One bright summer morning
Tommy was sitting solitarily in the
chambers, wishing he had some-
body to talk to, or something to do.
when an old acquaintance ' and
namesake dropped in. Mr. Tom
Smith, the new comer, was a journ-
alist who, having been for some
time past out of employment, had
called rather frequently on Tommy,
chiefly for the purpose of effecting
small loans. To -day his errand was
different and more pleasant; it wee
to inform his friend that he had at
last obtained an appointment. The
editor of the Comet had commis-
sioned hien to goto the south of
France and there witness and re-
port upon certain army manoeuvers
which were about to take place.
Mr. Tom Smith knew as much
about military affairs as . he did.
about the mucic of the spheres; but
he bad full confidence in his own
power of writinga series of brilliant
articles on the manoeuvers.
' By George,' said Tommy to his
namesake, when he had heard his
news, '1: envy you. What wouldn't

—A serious affray, which will in

took place in Ingersoll. John

pretty heavily laden with intoxi-
cants, when Dovereux mode- a

is entertained of his recovery.

' Oh, that's easily arranged,' ans-
wered the journalist. ' You needn't
go to the maneuvere at all. You
enjoy yourself at Paris. It will be
very jolly just now with the exhi-
bition and all that; and I'IL-eend
for you to your wife a telegram from
the camp each morning, saying that
you haven't time to write and all's
well."
'Tommy bad nut at flrat been alto-
gether taken With the project, but
this lata t;ousaideration—this pros -
eat dl' a fortnight's holiday in
Arle--was too much for him.
With some hesitation Ile accepted
the letter from the , editor of the
Comet, and with it in his pocket
and a Nutter at his heart, turned his
face homeward, where the wife of
his bosom was awaiting him.
When he informed Mrs. Smith
that he had been appointed special
correspondent of the Comet at the
French maneuvers, she appeared in-
credulous. When he showed her
the editor's letter she was quite up
set. At first she would not bear of
his going away. Then she calmed
down a little and consented to it on
her being permitted to go with him.
It was only atter a long. struggle
that she abandoned this ground, and
consented to his going alone on
condition that he was away not
longer than a fortnight, and that
every morning he sent her a tele-
gram.
The next day Tommy started for
France. Mrs. Smith was too much
upset to see him off. ' At Charing
Cross he met his namesake, and
together they traveled, to Nile.There they parted ' company, the
journalist going south to report on
the maneuvers, Tommy remaining
in Paris to enjoy the many pleasures
of that gaycapital.

His intention WAS, ou arriving at

Norwood, see his wife, and have:
the ordeal over as sown as possible.
'hat was his iuteation when he
started, hut by the time he• had
reached Charing Cross it had alter- �.
ed.
His courage, strong enough in
Paris, had quite disappeared iu
Londou ; so, after much heeitatiuu,
he deterutiued to pass that night iu.
the Temple, and put off his exptaRls-
tion with his wife till the next
morning, when he hoped his nerve•
would bo restored.
Why not come with me 1' asked
the pressman.
' Como with you !' repeated Tom-
my, in amazement. Don't you
know that I'm a married man 1'
'.Well, so am I,' answered the
pressman.
' Ab, but you're different; re-
plied Tommy. ' You're off on busi-
ness. I only wish I had some busi-
ness like it to get me a little liberty.'
And Tommy sighed.
The pressman reelected in silence
for a moment. Then he said :
Why don't you pretend to have
business 1'
Eh 1 1 don't understand you, re-
sponded the startled Tommy.
Well, listen, and yon soon will,'
said the pressman. ' A little device
has just occurred to me that will
get you a pleasant holiday, if you
like to use it. By an extraordinary
coiucidence, we both possess the
uncommon cognomen of Smith ;
not merely Smith, but Thomas
Smith. Now look, this letter from
the editor'—end he drew out the
letter of appointment from his
pocket—' is addressed simply to
Thomas Smith, Esq. Now, prune
facie, that applies as much to you
as to tee. Why not take it home
with you and tell your wife that it
does apply to you? Tell her, in
fact, that you have been appointed,
pro tem., a special correspondent of
the Comet, and that you must leave
at once for the south of France.
There would be nothing improbable
about it. Sho knows you were at
journalism before you married.
And then you can draw the long
bow about the honor and dignity of
the appointment. She knows no-
thing about it, and will quite be-
lieve you.'
Tommy enjoyed himself thorough-
ly. Ile knew Paris well, and loved
it better ; and now he had a more
favorable opportunity than he ever
had had before of experiencing all
ite delights. Hitherto when there,
he either had too little cash or too
tittle freedom. Now he had as
much as ho desired of both ; and
this unusual state of affairs enabled
itim to attain to something like idle
bliss.
The days flew past on 'golden
wings. Without a care to trouble
him, or a want unsatisfied, Mr.
Tommy Smith spent his time loung-
ing about the pleasant boulevards,
sipping .coffee in the cafes, dining
in luxurious state, frequenting the
theaters, and reading the Cornet.
The last was hie only serious duty,
and it must be admitted that he did
not neglect it. He always remem-
bered that when he returned to the
wife of his bosom he should have
to pass himself off as the writer of
the articles descriptive of the
maneuvers, and so he felt that it
would be well to know what those
articles contained. Accordingly,
every night herongoing for dinner,
he Made it a rule to purchase a
copy of the Comet, while over his
diener he read and re react all that
was said iu it of the French army
maneuvers. •
Rolling himself in his travelling.
rug, he stretched himself un the
sofa in his chambers. There be
spent a miserable, sleepless night,
snob as it seldom before had been.
his hard lot to endure.
Morning had come. Ile had
got up and dressed. audwas prepar-
ing, with a doleful heart, to set out..
for Norwood, when a knock ,sound --

' Who can this be. V he 'asked
himself, in surprise. '• It's vacation.
time ; and besides eveii utne knows,.
or thinks I'm out of town. 1 won-
der who it can be 1'
A second knock sounded."
Feeling very .uncomfortable—for
he had guilty forebodings that the
summons meant sumethiug uupleas-
aut—Tommy went to the door. To
his amazement and consternation,
the per'sou knocking was his wife !
' Su you're not dead,' she said,
quite gully.
Evidently rhe had found out the
deception, and knew that the person
who had really perished was not
her husband.
No, dear,' answered Tommy
meekly, in silence, uncertain ap-
parently what more to say ; while
Tommy still, feeling very guilty
;and still more uncomfortable.
Aren't, you glad' I'm not dead,
dear4' he at last ventured to in-
quire.
By George !' exclaimed Tommy,
breathless with excitement at his
friend's startling proposal.
I "think it wonld work very
easily,' said the journalist, •
' But when I'm away she might
fin 1 out the deception,' objected
'Ifo
` No, I'm. not,' answered - Mrs.
Tommy fiercely.
Tommy gave a start of Terror.
This reception was even worse than
he had anticipated.
Both husband and wife remained
silent for a few seconds after'this
little outburst ; but Mrs. 'Tommy
was only gathering her strength
together in order- to express her
opinions with due precision and
emphasis. Tommy knew that. He
had seen her do it before. .It was a
pretty, deliberate little way she
had. He "waited with fear anti
trembling till the storm should be-
gin. At last it started.
`You're a ruffian, sit; a scoundrel,"
she Said, speaking slowly and de-
liberately. ` I've just come to telt
you that—'
''How very considerate !' inter-
rupted Tommy, who felt that he,
must put on .a bold face.
Nearly a fortnight had elapsed,
and Tommy was anticipating with
regret the speedy termination of his
stolen holiday. Seated at his din-
ner, he was turning over the pages
of the Comet, which, as usual, he
had purchased for his day's study,
wheu his eye caught a paragraph
which made him start.
As he glanced over it, his face
turned ghastly pale, Calling for a.
glass of braudy, he hastily drank it;
and then, to make sure that he was
not mistaken, he read the paragraph
carefully through the second time.
There could be no odoubt as to its
meaning. It ran as follows :—
