The writer once rode a mare seventy miles in a.single day. The stable in which she was put for the night was as comfortable in every way as It could be made, yet she stood the whole night through.

The history of Sir John and his party can be summed up in two facts. It was lie who caused the burning of the Parliament buildings in Montreal in 1849, and it was he that hanged Riel in 1885."

Sir John has also given his support to Catholic schools." „ CREATION OF RACIAL STRIFE. "The policy of Sir John Mac- donald," replied Laurier, "has caus- ed a revival of the old race feuds. It is only a few days ago that Mr, D'A1ton McCarthy, one of Sir John's lieutenants, came to Mon- treal and preached a war of races, by stating that he would use his efforts b put down the use of the French language in the House of Commons.

But that is uy reason why I should °nocturage a race war.

I believe with all true Canadians, • that we should proteot the other nationalities in their rights, and that the others should not attach ours, The liberal party -which etubraces men of all nationalities -wants equal rights for all. Let us not forget that the heroes of 1837 and 1838 were led by English chieftains -Dr. Wilson and T. S. Brown-aud that the Hon. Edward Blake, the illustrious son of an illustrious father, has always been our true friend." HE MET A MAN WITH A LOAD OF CORN. I started out from the hotel at Paterson to drive across the country to a small town in company with a parlor organ agent. Ile had been drinking pretty freely, and as soon as clear of the town he observed : "You never saw me fight, of course, but I will soon give you au exhibit of what I can do. I feel in the mood this horning, and: I'm gciug to lick the first man I can pick a fuss with." "I wouldn't get into any trouble," I suggested. "Oh, there won't be any trouble about it. I'll briug it around so as to have the other mau begin it, and then I'll polish him off and drive on." About two miles out we met a young farmer driving into town with a wagon box, full of corn. He gave more than half the' road, but the organ mau pulled up, gave me a •nudge, and exclaimed "Young man, do yon want to run over us?" "No, sir." "You act as if you did. It is evident that you think yourself very smart, but you'll meet a man some day who'll teach you a lesson." "How 1" • "By giving you a licking." "Perhaps you want to try it ?" "What! Don't you talk that way to rue !" shouted the agent, as he nudged me to siguify that the lea - von was working. "If you do just come down here!" contiuuod the young man as he climbed over the wheel, "I think I will !" replied the agent. "I'm a peaceful man, and I don't believe in force, but in this case' I regard . it as my duty to teach you a great moral lesson." IIe handed me the lines, jumped down, squared off, and I don't be- lieve it was two, minutes before he lay in the Mayweeds in the ditch, licked to iusensibility. The young fellow knocked him out with • the very first blow, then sat down and hammered hint blind. When he let up he nodded to me, climbed upon the corn, and as far as I could see hint lie never looked back. I worked over the agent a quarter of an hour to revive him, and another quarter to get him into the buggy, and it was only as I drove on that he rallied enough to dreamly in- quire "\Vial you please tell rue whether I am selling lightning rods or wind mills, and also what my name is?"
