A Score. Society in Canada.

A correspondent of the New York
Herald, residing in Sutton, Canada East,
tells curious ald improbable story about
the existence of secret organization in
Canada, having for its object the release
of that province from allegiance to the
crown and the formation of an indePen-
dent republic. He says that the society
in its general arrangements and method
of imitation somewhat resembles the So
ciety of Know Nothings ! but the cath of
secrecy is stronger and more binding
Lodges have been already established
throughout the eastern townships and a
large section of the upper province, and
the writer states that ''in the single coun-
ty of Missisquoi, bordering on Vermont
they have subordinate lodge in nearly
every town, and in this county alone
there are several thousands KnoW-Neth-

A Suggestive Incident.

TWAS bright spring morning, many
years ago, when a number of happy
children were seen surrounding boy,
who was busily planting in "his garden"
little tree which the gardener had Civ
en- him. He was unused to the work,
and with his unskilled hands broke a
tender branch; but with childish care he
made support, and from his daily watch
ing and watering, he had the JOY to see
it bud and grow. The family, of which
that boy was member, soon removed to
a distant part of the country, and he, in
after years, sojourned in foreign lands
But often, at the silent hour of evening,
his thoughts would wander to fatherland
and childhood's home; and though he
had heard that death had removed there
from many of his early friends, resigned
for his speedy return. Atlength his de-
sires were realized. and he had an oppor-
tunity of revisiting his once cottage
home. But oh, how changed was It!
and he also. He wandered into the gar
den, and seated himself beneath an out
spreading tree and as tho'ts of the past
came clustering thick around him, his
npraised eyes rested upon an overhang-
ing branch which had a strangely gnarl-
ed and broken outline; and the thought
flashed upon him with force that the tree,
under the shade of which he was resting.
was the very one that in early life he had
planted, and that the branch on which he
then gazed was the one that his infantile
hand had injured 50 long ago.
Many were the lessons of wisdom
which that incident suggested tohis mind
and its recital may suggest some to ours

General cass on the Maine Law.

General Cass on the Maine Law.
The distinguished Senator from Michi-
gan has taken ground in favor of apply
ing the Maine Liquor Law to Indians,
though he does not seem to think it so
necessary for pale-faees. In his late
speech in the Senate, he said:
"Mr President. after all, the greatest
injury we have ever done the Indians has
been in giving them what they call ''fre
water''-whisky. Il makes them incar-
nate devils; | cannot call them by any
other name. 1t has most extraordina-
ry operation upon them. I never saw
an Indian who was not affected by it in
precisely the same manner. Some white
men laugh when intoxicated. some cry,
some SIM, some do one thing, some
another; but every Indian goes on in the
same way.
at seems national idiosyncrasv.-
The devil in the heart of the drunkard is
let loose, and he is ready to do any deed
of horror. When they are drunk they
will kill each other, and there would be
awful scenes of murder among them if it
were not for the fact that at every such
frantic orgie the first business of the
squaws is to remove all the knives and
implements Of war. The men are inn
partial in the qualification of their pas
sions. Blood they must have; and if
they cannot get the blood of one man,
they will have the blood of another. The
son kills the father and the brother the
brother.
s'The Senate may judge of the effect
of this terrible habit when I relate a fact
which came under my own observation.
At the treaty of Chicago, perhaps in
1891. there was an elderly Pottawatamie
chief who was at the head of his nation,
really respectable man, named Topsni-=
bee, high in the confidence of the Indians,
and approaching almost his hundredth
year, but still in the possession of his
mental faculties, and physically well pre-
served. / was urging upon them not to
drink whisky. ! told them we might. if
we chose, give them whisky, and thus
get them drunk, and cheat them out of
their lands: but that was not what we in
tended to do. said, we want you to
keep sober, and to make the best bargain
you can for yourselves, your women and
your children.
"Topsni-bee answered me, and he
spoke for and before the whole tribe
1--WE do not care for the land, nor the
money, nsr the goods; what we want is
whisky, give US whisky"
"Yoa may take this As q type OF the
Indian feeling on that subject. say,
then, that the first duty ofevery honest
commissioner who Is sent 20 the Indians
with q view to make any just arrange
nent with them, is as the Indians say, to
drive the bung into the barrel and not let
them have one drop of whisky. If it is

dozen years old, practiced the drop game
successfully upon a farmer in Buffalo last
week. He came running up to- the farmer
in great hurry: "Mister." said he, "you
have lost your pocket book" ooh no."
says the farmer. "Well, some one has; and
look, here's fifty dollar bll; now, am in a
great hurry--give me little something for
it, and you can get the bill changed" The
farmer had only seven dollars about him, all
of which be gave to the lad and took the
pocket book. The fifty dollar bill proved to
be hair oil advertisement, and the farmer
had to borrow money to get home with, where
we advise him to stay.

Defending the p. o. Department.


z. NJ. P. Carter, Esq, was brought up last
Saturday before Squire Walker, on COM
plant of Postmaster StiHson, FOR sending let
tiers, &C., enclosed in newspapers to distant
points. Our Postmaster had received let
ter from sn Illinois P. d., telling him that
he suspected Mr.. Carter INDUCED in this
practice very frequently. Accordingly a
short time since, when DIR. c. dropped three
papers in the Postofice here, the P. M.
opened them. In one was found a memoran-
dunn and three envelopes; in another, note or
letter and diaper pin; and in the third, a
piece OF silk and diaper pin-all to different
persons. After informing MIR. Carter of bis
violation of law, and Mr. c. not appearing
disposed to adjust things in the proper ma n.
ner, Mr.. SIinson made affidavit TO the facts
before Squire Walker, and warrant was
issued. Mr.. Carter, however, paid $5 on
each of the three offences, and there the pro-
secution stopped.
We had promised Mr.. Carter, on a certain
contingency, not to say anything about this
affair, but as we have since discovered he
told rank and positive falsehood to secure
our silence, we do not consider ourselves
under the slightest obligation to screen him
from exposure. Let this case be " arning to
others. Letter postage is very cheap now
but newspaper postage, as will be seen by
the above, is sometimes very dear. There
are other persons now under suspicion here
for similar violations of law

For the Journal.

Mr.. SANDERs:-I learn with alarm that
our City Council has passed an ordinance, to
go into effect Immediately, preventing hogs
from running at large in this city. What
argument prevailed TO induce such an ordi-
nance just at this particular season OF the
year, am at a loss to determine. Surely if
ever scavengers were needed in Evansville,
they will be in demand during the present
hot season of this year. There never was
such certainty at this season of the year OF
an excessive summer and autuminal supply
of fruits and vegetables. Our population
was never so large and our sewerage is but
little advanced in the last five years. In fact
we have no sewerage, nothing but gMtterage,
and all the offal, and garbage from all the
kitchens and markets of the town, is By this
hog ordinance ordained to rot and tester
in the most pestilential manner under our
very noses at every street and alley corner
which we shall turn.
At best, in all seasons when the sun
shines, there is not hotel or eating house in
the pace, which for the lack of sewerage,
has not IT'S own sinking street or alley pur-
lieus. in passing which we have all held our
noses. We have no scavengers here but the
hogs, and better and larger cities than we
shall grow to be in twenty years, purposely
suffer hogs to run at large. 1t will not avail
us to forbid the throwing of decaying animal
or vegetable matter in the streets or alleys,
or to employ a strong force of street
cleaners. Where there is no sewerage to
receive such matter it will be thrown and
purify upon the surface some where near
the kitchen, the huxter's shop and the mar
| ket, and in this scattered town it cannot be
prevented by any police regulations which
will be adopted. The hog is the natural
scavenger of our southern and southv. es tern
cities as the buzzard is of our fields and
forests, and the laws which Danish either
institute amongst US an hundred fold worse
enemy. Such an ordinance in the winter
when our wharves and pavements are heaped
with grain for sale or transportation, may
not be out of place, but surely in June, July
or August,this anli-hog ordinance is the very
worst sanitory regulation which our City
Council could we'll adopt. A CITIZEN.
