The Clinton New Era, 1891-02-06, Page 6a ,,, . b , • e� MISSING LINKS. WORDS OF WISDOM. The Montreal Witness admin- ' deters a merited rebuke to lip - loyalists and at the same time talks plain sense in the follow - article: -"It is sheer non �•;,ie for Ministerial 0-egans to cu:trge these Liberals who are in favor of reciprocity between the united States ani Canada, and who have visited Washington fqr the -purpose of conferring with 13rican statesmen who are an- ._:io IA to bring about the same •-,t. boon to both people as to •,e best possible means of doing so, with conspiracy and treason and all sorts of wickedness against their own country. That recip- rocity is desirable in the interest of the great majority of the people of Canada even the Government And its organs on the eve of a general election do not and dare not deny. The benefits are too patent, not only to every farmer but to every business man in the country •who is not interested in protected manufactures. Even Sir John Macdonald and Sir Charles Tupper have declared in favor of reciprocisy, and their organs have at times been com- pelled to follow vociferously in their lead. As the Ministerialists allow that reciprocity would bo a great boon to the country, and as they delare that the unwilling- ness of the United States to enter into reciprocal relations with Canada is tho great obstacle in the way of securing it, it is ob- viously absurd and inconsistent on their part to charge the Cana- dian statesman and politicians who seek to bring American statesmen into a better frame of mind, and to induce them to of - offer to negotiate a treaty with -Canada, with betray- ing the interests of the Dominion. The insinuations that liberal poli- ticians will receive material assis- ttlneA from the United States' to tarry • ° 'n carry the nett elect... in Canada are in the opinion of' ail :light thinking people _utterly baseless, and without even a shadow of support from fact. When this is done openly and above board, as has been the case iii conferences and interviews which have taken ce between the Canadian and erican statesmen, there is not dol no objeotion to the proceed- ing isfrom every point of view highly commendable. The more. frequently and the more thoiougely Canadian and Ameri- can statesmen and people discuss between them the many matters, judicial, social or commercial, which two people inhabiting great adjoining countries must meees- r3arily have in common, when by blood, language, religion and com- mon traditions they are brother peoples the better° for'both and for the whole English-speaking race of which the people of Canada and the United States are only por- tions. The Ministerial organs ought ti be ashamed to imitate the base political methods of the lowest American ward politicians who appeal to the prejudices of ignorant voters." HOW A BEAUTIFUL FLOW,. ER WAS NAMED. An old legend tells of two lovers walking by the river Rhine. The lady begged her suitor to pluck a little pale -blue flower, growing on the bank. In doing so, he fell in- to the water, and was drowned ; but, while sinking, he threw the flower to her, and,_ori. v_ "For- get me not!' Thousands of wo- men will never forget what Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has done for .them. It is prepared specially to cure those disdases from which they alone suffer, and often in silence, rather than con- sult a physician -as periodical pains, weak back, prolapeus, and all uterine troubles. Purely vege- table, and guaranteed to give sat- isfaction in every case, or money refunded. German Africa is twice as large as Eu- ropean Qermany. Glue from whale refuse is a new article f of commerce in Russia. An distance is on record of a pigeon flying 23 miles in 11 minutes. Th@ 00 New l7aglaud states have this ;fear built only 16 miles of railroad. There are 208,749 railroad bridges in the United States, spanning 3,213 miles. Twenty million acres of land of the United States is held by foreigners. A California man has started into :the business of raising i'aif•breed budalo. A church bell of pure silver, weighing 715 pounds, was recently cast in Russia. is An influential deputation wait - ed• o1l the Attorney -General on Friday and asked the Government Or aid in developing industries in onnection with thenickledeposit. The man wbo committed suicide at Sharbot Lake turns out to have been James Cassel, of Almonte. He was the entertainer of Good- win, the alleged Huntley murder- er, the:night after his crime was committed. Minard'. Linimentlumberman's friend The body of Andrew Beck, of New York, who died in 1884, was exhumed and brought to Brook- lyn for re -interment on Friday. On the way through the cemetery grounds the great weight of the casket surprised the men carrying it, so they determined to have the lid removed and the interior ex- amined. To the great astonish- ment of all concerned, instead of finding a frame of bones they were confronted with the face of the dead man as full as when in life. The skin 1)oked like parchment and was thinly covered with a damp dark brown deposit. The flesh of the dead man felt as hard as stone. One of the men present rapped on the face and body with his knuckles and the result was a sharp ringing sound. An investi- gation was made forthwith, and the body and limbs were found to be as hard as adamant. Superin- tendent Butt then made an inves- tigation and satisfied himself that the body had been petrified. Mr Bradlaugh, the - English M. P., who died on Friday, was a free thinker and a Republican in principles. For many years he pub- lished ajour•nal that held that the, house of Brunswick -occupied the British Throne only by virtue by the Acts.of Settlement and Union, that therefore the throne may be made vacant by the repeal of those acts, and that tbey should be repealed immediately on the death or abdication of Victoria. In 1868, Mr Bradlaugh was a can• didate for Parliament in North- ampton, but had five competitors. In 1880, ho was elected for North- ampton, and was twice put out of the Home of Commons because it was alleged he was an atheist. His constituents stole& firmly by him, and he was finally admitted on affirmation. The resolutions af- fecting him, wed, at_ this time were expunged from the record of the'House while Bradlaugh lay on his death bed. In 1873 Mr Bradlaugh visited this continent and lectuied on various topics. A redeeming feature in Mr Brad - laugh's character was the strong position he took in favor of the workingmen. In all legislation for the benefit of the wage•earners he was a leader. It is said that there are 15,000 braes bands in this coi'ntry, with 150,000 preformers. In London, last year, 500 children under 10 years of age were arreste3 for drunken- ness. It is estimated that 8,000,000,000 letters go through the world's postoilices in one year. The penitentiaries of Texas have con- tributed $71,000 to the state treasury the last year. A Boston firm will ehortly begin the pub- lication of a paper printed in Volapuk language. A man of 30 years, arrested at Williams- port, Pa., for larceny, gave his occupation as that of a dude. California will have sent 10,000 carloads of fruit to the eastern lnarkets before the close of the season. It is estimated that 200,000 bushels of cranberries which New Jersey will market will realize a million of dollars. A man died recently in the Maine state prison who had been about 50 years in prison during a life of 76 years. In the northern lakes of England the loon has been taken 40 feet under water upon hooks baited for the large lake trout. It is estimated tbat out of au army of 13,000,000 smokers in this country those wbo use imported cigars only number 66,000. S. Learning a foreign language by means of a "self -teacher" is like shaping out an ax handle with the blade that needs the handle. In London the attendance of school chil- dren is not satisfactory, rarely rising above 80 per ceut; so that every day some 97,000 are absent. Germany employs 5,500,003 women in in- dustrial pursuits; England, 4,000,000; France, 3,750,000 and Austria-Hungary about the same number. The magnificent public baths presented by James Lick to the city of Sao Francisco have been completed. The total cost of the gift is nearly $220,000. The .'�grgest linen mills in the world are not1n Ireland e; Germany, but in Jar- adova, Russia, where 7,,3Q operatives are employed by one concern. A society has revealed itself in EngLsed called the "Proportionate Giving Union." The members give a fixed part of their in- come to charitable works. A medical journal says theta well, healthy man will suffer more from the prick of a pin than he will from the pain of dissolution in case he dies a natural death. The steam engines of the world represent, approximately, the working power of 1,000,- 000,000 of men, or more than double the working population of the world. Brazil is larger than the United States; but in the whole 20 states which make up the republic there are not as many people as in New York and Pennsylvania. The English authorities are investigating the habit of ether drinking, which is said to be spreading in that country, many persons using ether as a substitute for alcoholic liquors. • It is not generally known that under an old law still unrepealed a man who swears in a public place in Pennsylvania renders himself liable to a fine of 67i4 cents for each naughty word. The accumlat)on of wealth, estimated at 14 per cent of the gross earnings of man- kind, now aggregates 16,000,000,000 per annum, and is increasing, relatively as well as absolutely, from year to year. A sea lion in the zoological gardens at Paris saved the life of a little boy who tumbled into the water and couldn't get out on account of the high basin. The seal held him up until help arrived. When a person wishes to leave a Japanese theater temporarily he is not given a pass check, es in this country. The doorkeeper takes the person by the hand and stamps on it the stamp of the establishment An advertisement has been running In a Bristol, Eng., paper for the lest year,, offer- ing $50 reward for any well authenticated case of a child being carried away by an eagle, no matter in what country. Sir Richard Cartwright spoke on reciprocity at the Boston mer- chants' banquet last Friday even- ing. The establishment of a beet: sugar factory. is engaging the ate tention' o$ thus' Notthumberlan and Peterborough farmers. A very unfortunate accident happened to Mr Dan Campbell, a highly respected farmer of Adel- aide while teaming wood into Strfihroy, Friday. He was sit- ting on the front tier of a heavy load, and when coming down Scott's- Hill the supports gave way, causing Campbell and the wood to fall between the horses. The wheals. passed over his left arm and right leg, making two very bad and painful breaks. Children Cry for Pitcher's t Cas toriae There is some prospect that New York will bave a state park in the Adirondacks. It is proposed that a reservation of about 25 miles square be taken, comprising 1,000,000 acres, the same to include Peconet lake. Woo Sing, I11., is perhaps the only town in this country that has a Chinese name. It was named -by two sea captains who had been in the China trade, and purchased land for the site of the new town about 1855. Archduke John, now missing, was, it is said at one time a candidate for the position of Prince of Bulgaria. But Bismarck, who disliked him because the archduke had said smart things at his expense, hated him and would not permit his appointment. An illuminated eat is among the curiosi - ties of the pateut office at Washington, D. C. It is mads of pasteboard or tin, painted over with phosphorous, and is intended to frighten away "rats and mice and such small deer," in the darkness of cellars and garrets. A Montreal clothier stuck up a monster sign 100 -feet long and 60 feet from top to bottom. It was a nine days' wonder to the priming crowd, but the proprietor of the building had the sign remobod. The clothing man is now suing for $10,000 damages. Horseflesh reet**Wants have been started in Berlin, and are doing a brisk trade. .It is strange that they have not bean opened sooner in Berlin, for those which have ex- isted for several years past in Dresden, Hamburg and Frankfort have done an im- mense business from the first. Philadelphia, and not Brooklyn, it seems, is the city of churches. New York and Brooklyn together have only 760 churches for a population of 2,419,000 people. Phila- delphia has 579 Churches, besides31 denomin- ational and 11 undenominational missions for a population of 1,050,000 It is a curious fact, revealed by the figures of the recant census, that, while there are in the United States three cities of more than 1,000,000 inhabitants each, one of between 800,000 and 900,000, three of between 400,000 and 500,000 each, and nine of between 200,000 and 360,000 each,, there is not a single one having between ab0,o00 and 400,000 inhabitants, In 1860 we had but nine cities with a population of over 200,000 each. not s1,' assec1 in the C�u..
