Trade or MoNTRE,L.-The Montreal Va
ness says that the past year has probably
been thcworst for Montreal in a business point
OF view, since ISIS. The export produce
trade was very limited. ami what there WIS
Of it was very improbable, 80 that many IN 1t
have suffered. The shipping trade has. on
account of the difficulty Of obtaining car
goes. been a very losing business. Dry goods
have been greatly over-done and even after
much forcing, stocks are still very heavy at
a season when the wholesale stores should
be nearly empty. A considerable portion OF
this stock is under advances at heavy rates
Of interest. This condition Of things is not
likely t. be much bct'ered 10y tie repeal Of

GEN. GRANT KISSED by THE LADIES AT
THE CHICAGO FAIR-On Monday, at 8
o'clock, the General performed the greatest
military movement of his life. He per-
formed a successful flank movement on
the people of Chicago and visited Union
Hall in quiet and peace, remaining thelc
till 10 o'clock. There were present a
large number of the most beautiful "aids''
and the General was instantly surrounded
by the volunteer staff. Here laughable
incident occurred.
Mrs. Livermore said to him, General
Grant, these girls are dying 10 kiss you
but they don't dare to do it,"
"Well, said the gallant General, "if
they want to kiss me, why don't they =?
No one has offered to since 1 have been
here"
Instantly about hundred FAIRIES poun-
ced upon him. He attempted retreat,
but in vain: he attempted to break through
the rosy ranks without success. Then,
for the first time, he confessed himself van.
quished. and caHly awaited the event.
Never was such man subjected to such
an ordeal. On came the maidens by the
squads in file, or singly; they hit him on
the forehead: pelted him on the nose
smacked him on the cheek, chin or neck.
There must be dozens of kisses lying
around hidden in the Generals whiskers.
During his terrible ordeal the hero of a
hundred battle fields blushed till his face
became almost purple. At last the girls
were partly appeased in "noble rage" and
he escaped.

pounds was sufficient to draw the cable
through it.
In order to guard against any possible
sources of accident, every preparation has
been made in case of the worst, and, in
the event of very bad weather, for cutting
the cable adritt and buoying it For this
purpose wire rope of great strength, and
no less than five miles long. having dis
tinctive mark at every one hundred
fathoms, will be taken in the Great
Eastern.
This, of course, is only designed to be
used in case of desperate cventualities
arising, and in the earnest hope that not
an inch of it will ever be required. If
its services should be wanted the cable
would be firmly made fast to its extremity
and so many hundred fathoms of the wire
rope-according to the depth of water the
cable was in-measured out. 70 the 9TH
er end of the rope an immense buoy would
be attached, and the whole then cut adrift
and left to itself till better weather. In
the experimental cruises which were un-
dertaken before the starting of the last
Atlantic expedition this attempt at buoy
ing the cable was often tried in deep wat
er of the Bay Of Biscay, but never with
any great success, and in very deep water
it would be most forlorn hope, indeed
to try it at all.-Lomdon Times Of MaS

CANADA YANKEEIsM-Over the line, in
Canada, they are quite as inquisitive as
their Yankee neighbors-probably the
south wind carries the infection over
and they are certainly more in danger
than the Jersey farmers would be of yell
low fever with the quarantine at Sandy
Hook. Some years since, the receiver
general was travelling on steamboat with
considerable funds for the government,
and for the sake of safety and
privacy he engaged the whole of the la
dies cabin. The passengers were all alive
to ascertain the reason of this arrange
ment, and especially to know what bust
ness the great man could have on hand to
require so much room and money. At
length one of them, more bold than the
st,ventured to introduce the subject as
the receiver walking the deck, and ap-
preaching him, asked if he was engaged
on government contract.
"Yes, was the gruff reply.
"a large one?"
"Yes, very large"

EXECUTION OF INDIAN CHIEFs.-Two
Indian chiefs, Two Face and Blackfoot,
who have committed many murders and
other outrages on the frontier, were hung
at Fort Larmie, Dacotah Territory, last
month They behaved fearlessly, and
while the hangman was placing the fatal
moose around their necks, they said in
their Indian tongue. "Meah washta,"
meaning Il am brave" They also said
that they had killed number Of white
men, and would kill more, but as they
were about to join their brothers in the
happy hunting grounds, would leave that
for their tribes to do
