route to Canada, where q cordial reception from
the moderate Liberals of both Provinces awaits
him. Mr.. Iinoks is a man we'll known in the
United States, and it will, no doubt, be
recollected that at the time of the insurrecton
in Canada he threw himself heartily into the
struggle-contending temperately, but firmly,
for the rights of the people in opposition to the
tyrannical usurpations Of the governing clique,
known as the Family Compact. To him be-
longs the honor of being the first British sub
ect who had the courage to establish Liberal
newspaper in the Upper Canadas-- several
numbers of which, at the first, had to be
printed in Buffalo, and from thence smuggled
across the lines.
Though a stanch Liberal, he fell however,
under the ban of the Scotch, or extreme party,
against whose unwise policy he protested from
the outset. And to the eternal infamy of that
section (called, also, "Clear rgrits'), it must be
said, they have mover ceased to malign, mis-
represent, and otherwise injure one of the most
whole-souled men Canada or any other country
ever saw.
On the occasion of his appointment, in 1855,
to the Governorship Of the Windward Isles, he
was literally feasted out of Csnada-the last of
those splendid suppers being that given by the
late Mr.. Zimmerman, the railroad contractor,
at his paatial residence near Niagara Falls.
At those "re-unions" Mr.. Hincks declared
20 vindicate his character, public or private,
from the infamy which the Brown patty cease
lessly endeavored to heap upon it, by an ap-
peal to the Judicial Courts-preferring to let
his acts, first as a patriot, and then as a minis
ter of the crown, stand forth as a living refu-
tation of the ISLANDERS by which he was assailed.
The one exception referred to was to clear him
self of the charge of being the author of GER
tain damaging letters which the Cear-grit
ho6 1Onor ham of
those forgeres, being found, was brought to
trial, when the fellow pleaded guilty, and with
out hesitation, Mr.. Hincks Immediately aban-
doned the prosecution.
He has often said that he was never afraid
of PRINTERS INK. However black it may
have, at times, represented him, he would never
seek to limit its power but, by the use of the
same material, endeavor to correct the errors of
those who abused it. Having commenced his
prosperous career as newspaper editor, he
would be the last in the world to interfere with
the free action of the public press. Mr.. Hincks
will, in all probability, be the next Governor
General of Canada.
STRIKES THE SIGNS OF REvIvAL.-Says the
New York Herald: "0ne of the surest indica-
lions of returning prosperity is the movement
in the labor market, indicated by what are
called strikes. These never take place when
depression prevails in the different branches of
industry, for then the supply of laboris always
greater than the demand; and when that is the
case, the artisan will sooner work for the half
loaf than run the risk of getting no bread at
all. Neither do we, in ordinary seasons, when
but little stimulus is felt, and when the de-
mand and supply are about equal, hear of
these movements among workmen. They
know just as well as their employers when it
is time to put on the screw, and they rarely
nisa than oil hIy o,y6; ol
likely to prove abortive. When, therefore,
We find general turnout among the artisans
employed in our large establishments, we may
safely argue that things are wearing pros
porous aspect, and that n season of unusual
commercial activity is at hand"
RIors AT PASAMA.-On the 2sth of February
a popular tumult occurred at Valparaiso, S.
A., by a party of armed citizens, making an
assault upon the Intendencia, who being re-
pulsed by the soldiers on guard, next endeav-
ored to fire the building, but failed in this also.
While this was going on, another body of law
less fellows broke into the Custom house and
seized the rifles and muskets there stored.
fight between them and the army followed,
which continued about an hour, when the in
surgents retreated. An Englishman named
Jones, was shot dead by the soldiery, who
imagined that he had harbored some of the in
surgents. After being shot down in the pres
ence of his wife and children, he was then
dragged out in the streets and beaten to death
with repeated blows from the butt-ends of mus
kets. From 100 to 100 were killed. Several
executions followed the next day.
A VERY Foolish CLUB.-Tho "Local," of
the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, says that in
accidentally looking at some printed local re-
cords of that city, about twenty years since, he
found mention Of a Bachelors Club, composed
Of one hundred and twenty-seven mem bers
The rules permitted no member to marry with
out the consent of two-thirds of the members
In one year, out of fifteen officers, seven were
expelled for disobeying the ordinance, and the
following year, 1912, all the officers were ex-
PEELED for the same high misdemeanor. The
crime of matrimony was rampant just then
ind whether there was general stampede of
the members to the matrimonial altar, does not
appear. At any rate, the names of many
middle-aged citizens, heads of families, and
upon whose heads honOrs and wealth have
been since showered, appear among the mem
bers, and the Bachelors Club has gone the way
of all other celibacy.
The EARTH GROWING BIGGER.-A Captain
Alfred Dayson has published a work in Eng
land, the object of which is to prove that our
earth is growing larger, and our distance from
the sun increasing. He observes that measured
degrees cf the meridian in modern times have
often been longer than those of olden time.
The yearly growth Of the planet seems to BE-
-tated ut three quarters Of an inch in the mile.
When the earth becomes ns large as Jupiter,
the obliquity of the ecliptic will be only two
degrees. Unhappily, at rate of growth of
only three fOurths of an inch in mile every
year the desirable result will not arrive in our
time.
WILL LOPEZ PAY? pa New York sufferer" !"
writing to the New York Herald, thinks he
will not. He says "Please favor me by

Lopez has had the address to refer the amount
IF indemnity to the American Company to an
Tbitrament at Washington, the company will
never see one penny Of their claim. Endless
lelay will occur, testimony will have to be
taken at Assumption, questions of law will be
interposed, and nothing will be done. Lopez
seems to be a match for the ID himself, and
as to our ever sending another feet there, that
is out Of the question.
THE WELLsvILLE AFFRAY.-The Wheeling
| Times cOrrects the first account published Of
the affray in the railroad car near Wellsvile
which appeared in the Press few days since
The corrected statement makes party of three
men, who came on board at Welsville, the ag.
gressors, and represents Moore as firing in self
defense. A lady on the car at the time has made
