l. And the prize we've lost to-day --err-I
May become our own to morrow
A Ward in Canada.
Pm at present existin' under monikal form o.
COMMENT In other words I'm trayelin' among
the crowned heds of Canady They arnt pretty
bad people, On the contrary, they are exceedin
good people.
Troo, they are deprived of many blessins'-
They don't enjoy for instans, the priceless boon oi
a war. They haven't any American Egil to on
chain and they hain't got Fourth of July to
their backs. 49, ..F.- -.-. ..-
AlthO' this is monikal form of Comment, I'm
enable to perceive much moniky. tried to git
piece in Toronto, but failed to succeed. p
Mrs. Victory, whois Queen of England, and
has all the luxuries of the markets, incloodin
game in season, don't bother her hedmuch about
Canady, but let's her do bout as she's mjnter-
She, however, gin'rally keeps her supplied with a
lord who's called a Gov'ner Gin'ral Sometimes
the politicians of Canady make it lively for this
lord-for Canady has politicians, and l expect
they don't differ from our politicians, some of 'em
bein' gifted and talented liars, no doubt
The present Gov'ner Gin'rsl of Canady is lord
Monk. / saw him review some volunteers at
Montreal He was accompanied by, some other
lords and dukes and generals and that sort Of
things. He rode little bay horse, and his close
wasn't any better than mine. You'll always notiss
by the way, that the higher up in the world a
man is, the less good harness he puts on Hence
Central Halleck walks the streets in plain citizens
dress, while the second lieutenant Of volunteer
regiment piles all the brass things be can find or
to his back, and drags forty pound sword after
him. ...a
Monk has been in the lord DISMISS some time
and understand it pays, tho don't know
what lords wages is. The wages of sin is death
and postage.stamps But this has nothing to dc
with Monk
One of Lord Monks daughters rode with him
on the field She has golden hair, kind face
and wore red hat I should be very happy tc
have her pay me and my family visit at Bald
insville. Come and bring your knittin' Miss Monk
Mrs Ward will do the fair thing by YOU She
makes the best slap:jacks in America As {
slapjackist, she has no ekal. She wears The
Belt.
What the review was all about don't know
1 haven't gigantic intelleck, which can grasp in
great questions at onct. I am not Webster OF
a Seymour am not Washington or Wads
worth. Fur from it. I am not as gifted a man
as Henry Ward Beecher Even the congrega
ton of Plymouth Meetin, House in Brooklyn vii
admit, that. Yes, l should think SO. But while
| don't have the slightest idee as to what the re
view was fur, l will state that the sOiers looked
pooty scrumptous in their red and green close
Come with me, jentle render, to Queebeck.-
Queebeck was surveyed and laid out by gentle
man who had been afflicted with the deliriun
tremens from childhood, and hence his idees O
things was little irregler. The streets dom

gin'ral The city is bilt on a variety of perpen
dicular hills, each hill bein' riAe wuss nol
tother one. Quebeck is full of stone walls, and
arches, and citades and things. 1t is said no foe
could ever git into Quebeck, and guess they
couldn't. And 1 don't see what they'd ,Oant tc
git in their for. aeaelue 81.
Quebeck has seen lively times in a war-likC
way. The French and Britishers had a set-tc
there in 1859. Jim Wolfe commaded the latter
and Jo Montcam the formers. Both were hunk!
boys and fit nobly. But Wolfe was too man.
measles for Montcalm, and the French was slew d
Wolfe and Montcalm was both killed. In arte
years common government was erected by th
gen 'rous people of Quebeck, aided BY the bull,
Earl named George Dalhousie to the noble fel
lows. That was well done.
Durin' the Revolution War B. Arnold mad
his way, through dense woods and thick SHOWS
from Main to Quebeck, which is one of the hun
kiest things ever done in the military line.
would have been better if B. Arnold's funeral hat
come off immeditly on his arrival there.
On the Plains of Abraham there was onct som
tall fuin', ever since then there has been grea
demand for the bones of the slowed on that ther
occasion. But the real ginooine bones was Ions
ago carried of, and now the boys make hansur
thing by cartin' the bones of HOSES and sheep ou

must say that it betrays genius of lofty, char
