SETTLING IN CANADA.
The following extract from a letter
received by Mr, G. H. Campbell of
1\rieg, General Dominion Immi-
t. gration Agent, from Mr. II. S. Seratclr-
era, shows the progress of the move•
inept of Immigration from the United
States to the Canadian North-west:—
"I have just received from Fishing
Lake, in the Touch wood district, 80
miles northwest of Vorkton, where I
hav'e•located seven families from Sana -
lac county, Michigan, cumbering 32 in
all: Thoy are greatly pleased with
that part of.the couutiy, considering it
the finest they have -ever seen; plenty
of wood, good water and the best of
soil. They tviil start building on their
locations at once. Thoy will devote
their attention to mixed farming and
stock raising. They say a number
of their friends from Sanalac county
will join thein in the spring, and from
my owu personal knowledge I know
there will be a largo influx of settlers
from that part of Michigan next
spring."

The...... . _...... _ .
successful Democratic party in
athe United States claim that it wan
the Canadian ballot system, for the
first time used in a presidential elee•
tion, that gave theta the victory. It
prevents the official nae of money by
the party in power. When the grits
are beaten hero they allege that it is
the same •ballot system that gave the
Conservatives the victory. In ono
sense the grits aro right. The Cana•
.dian ballot system prevents men of
the M. C. Cameron stripe, its he is re•
ported to have said, from buyiug votes
and then knowiug whether the goods
had been delivered.
A few of the hybrid political combine
in the United States, called the Demo-
cratic party say that tariff for revenue
means the taxing of augar,tea and coffee.
They say the carrying out of this would
prove the sincerity of their opposition
protection. It is about as likely they
will have their way as that the few
annexationists in Canada will have
theirs.
Tho progress and prosperity of Cana-
da maybe judged from the fact that the
revenue of the Dominion for the four
months ending 31st Octobor,l8J2,was
$12,654,095, for the last corresponding
four mouths last your it was over half
a million less. And the expenditure
for the same four mouths this year
was $638,476 less than the correspond-
ing four months last year. Tho surp-
lus for these four mouths last year
$3,404, 330, for the four months this
year $4,628,611.
The Philadelpnia Times, a leading
Democratic paper whose editor, Mc-
Clure, was a power ainong the masses
for Cleveland, says: "AU intelligent
business men know that the election
of Cleveland brings no threat of free
trade or of even an approach to free
trade". This is about the size of the
situation. The New York World
another leading Democratic papor says:
"This victory does not mean free trade".
Even the Republican, Inter -Ocean,
now that it finds its party out-general-
sd,isaye that the recent elections do not
count' for freo trade any more than
dyspepsea and liver trouble are .signs
of religion and a change of beer.

Edgar, M. P., one of the dougirt
Grit chargers who etl'ects to believe
that aesortion is truth is out in a letter`,
embodying charges of the uu faithful uoss
of the Loyal Conlnnisaion appointed to
investigetn hie serious ehal'ges against
Sir Adolph Carou. It goes without
saying that if Mr. Edgar could have
h's way the Minietor would be found
guilty. Mr. Edgar wanted Parliament
to iuquiro into corrupt practices at
elections. It does not require a Ivan
to have the legal and parliamentary
knowledge of Mr. Edgar to know
that Parliament relegated such mat-
ters to the election courts as by
law establiehed. Parliament re•
fused to try chargee which it had given
tho courte power to dispose of. But,
aside frorn Mr. Edgar's charges of cor-
rupt practices at elections i11r. Edgar
charged. Sir Adol-ph Caron with ural -
feasance of efffce, 'That he as a Minis-
ter of the Crown had aided iu grant•
ing large Sums of. urouoy to railway
companies, that as member of parlia
ment he had voted for the grout and
that he then received part of the money
so voted and corruptly used it in elec•
tons. The diverting by a Minister of
the Crown of public monies from the
purpose for which they were graule'd'
and using them for political or personal
purposes is certainly indefensible and
on a motion iu Parliament by Lion.
41eckenzie Bowoll a Royal Commission
teas appointed, of eminent Judges, to
inquire into the truth of tho•ehargos of
misuse of public funds by Mr. Caron.
So far no evidence in support of the
chargee has been adduced, and Mr.
Edgar sulks and will not produce
his boasted and alleged proof. The
public -must -not be- misled by >Mr.
Edgar's distortions. The facts are as
we have stated. If Mr, Caron has
been guilty of wrongfully using public
funds for election or any other pur-
pose, the Royal Commission will re-
ceive any evidence thereanent and re•
port to parli'intent. Reporters attend
their meetings so that it is not likely
they would suppress any of the evid•
ence. But this does not suit Mr.
Edgar. IIo wants to put the country
to the expense of fishing out corrupt
practices at elections instead of appeal-
ing to the courts provided by law for
this purpose and which parliament has
no right to deal with. Though if the
majority in parliament are as:corrupt as
Mr. Edgar and his Grit allies allege
they would whitewash Mr. Caron iu
any event. Our readers can easily see
the absurdity of Mr. Edgar's couten•
tions, Ile contends that parliament
is corrupt and yet. wants parliament to
be the judge of corrupt practices of
which he says it is guilty. It will
also be admitted that the regular courts
of tiro laud, to which has boeu dele-
gated the power to try such offences,
being nonpartisan are the proper trib-
unatl8, freed as thoy aro from any con-
trol by the majority in parliament.
As kion. Mackenzie Bowoll and the
government contend, however, any
corrupt practices of a Minster of the
Crown is properly within the juriad-
lotion of parliament and when an im-
partial Royal Commission has reported
the evidence to it it will then be in a
position to determine the guilt or in-
uocence of the accused. But Mr.
Edgar fears the exposure of his parlia-
mentary mendacity and will not fur-
nish the Commission svith the in-
criminating evidence which he eviden-
tly falsely alleged he possessed . Mr.
Edgar is a chronic grievance monger
and to furnish evidence to the Commis•
*ion or appear before it and tell on
oath what he knows would explode
his bombshell about his own ears and
deprive him of any grievance other than
that of being hoisted by his own pet-
ard.

Ill 1883 a young bandsman named Chap-

(106tH) stationed at the Deena Vista Bar-
racks, Gibraltar, was accidentally killed by
a fall of about 200ft. over an almost perpen.

. A Strange Nest Egg.
It is six years ago since' I met with wy
lucky friend.
I was then living at Hoe Lane, Enfield
highway, and was on my way to St. James'
Boys School, when I saw a bird's nest up in
a high willow tree.
I climbed the tree, and reached the nest,
but instead of finding eggs or young ones, as
I expected, to my surprise I discovered a
gold ring.
All He l.'uiartuntees to Do.
The cleverness of the waiters who stand
at the doors of the dining rooms of the
large hotels in charge of the hats which are
left outside by the guests is very striking.
Some of them perform really wonderful
feats of memory in the way of identifying
the hat of each person, although they
often do not see the guest more than once
and that for only the instant when he
pauses to leave his hat behind hint as lie
enters.
At a hotel on the Maine coast is a.tdarkey
who is fatuous among the guests for never'
snaking a mistake, although sometimes the
guests have tried to puzzle him by going in
in groups and by wearing hats which he
has never seen. One day one of the board-
ers talked with hint about this power and
the wailbr said that he had acquired it by
long practice.
"And do you never snake mistakes ?" the
gentleman inquired.
"No, sah ; I don't esylate to make no
mistakes," was the answer.
"And do you give every man his own
hat?"
"Oh, sal'," returned the waiter, "'taint
none o' my business whose the hat am. I
gibes to ebery man the hat he gibes to me."

Jack-IIolsak, and the Tiger.
• Perhaps the most remarkable man, phy-
sically, the country ever produced was
Jack Holsak, a tlatboatmau well known on
the Ohio thirty-five or forty years ago,"
said Thomas.C, Jamison, who was discuss-
ing America's new champion slugger. "Jack
stood 6 feet 6 inches without shoes, and
weighed 250 pounds. He was muscle:41 like
a Hercules, and used to boast that he was
the strongest animal of his weight in the
Ohio Valley. He was a simpie•hearted,
gcod-natured fellow, who would not hurt a
fly. The stories told of his feats of phy-
sical strength resembled the miraculous
performance of Sampson. Like the story
of the `three black crows,' they probably
gained something by repetition, but it is
pretty hard to say what is impossible to 250
pounds of perambulating spring steel.
"It is said that he once visited a menag-
erie in Cincinnati where a man-eating tiger
was on exhibition, and after listening to the
descriptions of its strength and ferocity
given by the animal lecturer, offered to
enter the cage stark naked and 'whip the
tiger out of its hoots for a gallon jug of
Flaky.' As the proposition was made at
: ns' top of his stentorous like lungs, before
a tent full of 'people, the circus manager
could not well decline. It was arranged
that the gladiator act should take place
after the night performance, the women
and children being dismissed. Jack, half
drunk and as naked as a Greek god,
bounced into the cage and grabbed the
royal beast of Beugal by the back of the
neck and slapped the side of the head. .It
emitted an ugly growl, and Jack slammed
it up against the side of the cage with a

violence:
of proceeding to make a meal of tht
intruder, the ,malpeater cowered down in
a corner of its cage. Jack grabbed it by
the tail, dragged it around the cage, and
then, to the horror of the spectators, threw
open the door, pulled it out into the circus
ring and rolled it in Ole sawdust. Now, a
tiger that has been reared in a cage and fed
on cold potatoes and stale meat is a very
different brute from one reared in an
Asiatic jungle ; 'still, I hardly think that
any of the distinguished pugilists now

'Geckle even a circus tiger."—St. Louis

Ilow They Kill Snakes In Texas.
"They have caught on to a new method
of killing snakes down in Texas," said A.G.
Rogers, one of a group of story -tellers at
the Laclede. "Some parts of that State
are so infested with chicken snakes that
poultry raising is practically impossible.
The chicken snake feeds on the young of
geese, ducks, chickens, etc., and has a
special fondness for eggs, which it usually
swallows whole. The smart poultry raiser
now procures a liberal supply of porcelain
nest eggs for the special delectation of
these prowlers, and leaves them around
where they can easily find them. When is
chicken snake relegates one of these por•
celain nest eggs to his interior economy his
days of usefulness are numbered. He
cannot digest it, and he pines away like
a young husband who has inadvertently
,*swallowed a biscuit built by his Vassal
College wife. Rattlers also have a great
mouth for eggs, and it has been discovered
that a few of these slippery parodies o
the fruit of the hen scattered around the
haunts will exterminate them every time.
