Reciprocity and Neutrality.


Our Canadian neighbOrs are not dis
posed to release their hold upon so good
thing as the Reciprocity treaty, SIM
ply to accommodate a lot of cut-throats
and pirates, who persist in violating
English neutrality. o. o-3
The st. Albans robbers and thieves
were arraigned before Canadian mag
istrate to answer why they should not
be delivered to our authorities. They
asked a postponement of the hearing
until they could hear from Richmond
In the meantime the astute Justice dis
covers legal quibble, and undoubtedly
having the love of cotton or gold before
his eyes, sagely remarked that he had
no jurisdiction in the case, and set the
thieves and cut-throats at British liber-
ty. The American Congress, outraged
at the insult and injury to common JUS
tice and good equity on our part, at once
said, "If this be Canadian friendship,
we'H no more of it. If this be the fruit
of Reciprocity, let us throw it off our
hands," And so our Representatives
said, we will call upon the Executive to
give these fellows notice that we want
no more reciprocity, which secures to
them the right to harbor and protect
those at war with human rights and our
government, and which secures to us
not even an honest neutrality. This
news flashed over the wires and the
Canadians saw visions of wealth and
sources of great convenience passing
away. America must be pacified, and
reciprocity must continue to live aud so,
they thinking Americans all fools, tele-
graphed us that their government felt
awful bad and would make efforts to re-
capture the st. Albans thieves. What
Hypocrisy! What better are they who
ilarbor thieves than the thieves them
selves? We hope the day may speedily
come when this Van Dieman's land up
on our continent may be cleaned out
and purged by American bayonets, il
need be; in any event by the genius and
honor Of American institutions. 81
=. On the American continent. there
should be nothing inimical to the pro-
gress of American civilization and the
full development of American ideas and
industry-no, not even in Canada!

ton, which left New York to meet
Sherman's army, took 278 leather
pouches of mail matter, weighing over
fifteen tons. 1t is principally composed
of matter accumulated at Nashville
since the recent movement of General
Sherman, which had been sent to New
York, to be forwarded to his army
This single fact will give some idea of
the extent of the correspondence with
the Union army, and the attention the

who are fighting it's battles. - t''

A QUESTION ANswERED.-A clergy
man in England, on Sunday, informed
his hearers that he should divide his
discourse into three parts-the first
would be the terrible, the second the
horrible, the third terribly horrible
Assuming dramatic tragic attitude,
and wishing to bring the sulphurous
lake vividly before the minds eye of
the hearer, he swung his right arm
widely, pointing to about the centre of
the church, with his eyes seemingly
transfixed with horror, he exclaimed in
a startling agonizing tone:
"What's that I see there p Still
louder, What's that see there ?''--
Louder yet, with q wilder swing of che
arm, "Wha'ts that see there ?'
Here little old woman in black cried
out in shrill treble tone: -gi
"1t's nothing but my little black dog
he won't bite nobody" <
There was laugh, and the clergy
man concluded to confine himself to the
terrible without asking questions.
