In. the Massachusetts, liquor cases in the
supreme court of the United States on ap-
peal one Of the main questions at issue
was: Does the payment of tax TO the
United States by person upon the liquors
Kept and sold by him authorize him to
keep these for sale, or sell them, contrary
TO the laws of Massachusetts The opin-
ron of the court, which was read by Chief
Justice Chase, affirmed the decision of the
lower court and declared that govern
ment license afforded no such protection
to dealers; that it could not authorize him
to sell liquor in violation Of q state or
municipal law.

MORALS OF MExPHIs.-The Memphis
Avalanche says that there are in that city
fourteen gambling houses, each of which
pays 500 monthly black-mail to the po-
lice. There are nineteen brothels. Their
contribution to the police is $25 each a
month. A short time ago very bold
robbery was committed-Sl, 400 was stolen.
BY appointment, policeman met the rob-
bers at q gambling house, to obtain the
share of the police. 1t being difficult to
effect division of the money, it was sent
out and changed, the policeman awaiting
the return of the messenger.

FUNERAL MusIc.-It was the custom
among the ancient Jews to introduce mu-

Gospel of Mathew, "And when Jesus came
into the rulers house, and saw the min
strels and the people making noise, ne
said unto them, Give place: for the maid
is not dead, but sleepeth.' Forkel mem
tions that, according to Maimoniues, even
the poorest Hebrew husband was expected
to engage at the funeral of his wife at least
two flute players, and hired female mour-
ner.

Adventure with a snake.

An Australian paper-the Acoca Mail-tells
the following story OF presence of mind in a
young LADY, .e#Ia .H...
A young lady, desirous of walk after the
neat OF the day, took stroll book in hand
along the western bank OF the Ayoca Being
deeply interested in the book she was reading
she needed not that her steps had left the beat
en- track, and that, instead OF the winding path
way, she was wading through the long grass
Our heroine was proceeding at a very leisursIy
pace when she was startled by treading on
something which gave abundant signs of life
by most extraordinary process Of wriggling
coiling and uncOiling, all of which movements
were performed simultaneously, and in so dex-
ferrous manner as to be highly amusing to
any person not an actor in the scene. Observ-
ing at the first glance that she had trodden on
a snakes neck about an inch or an inch and a
half below Its head, and that from the position
in which it was then placed it could not turn
its head sufficiently to bite her, she brayely
made up her mind to detain the reptile pris-
oner until assistance arrived, and with Spartan
like courage carried ont her resolution. In
about twenty minutes time she was relieved
from her arduOus task, and the snake, which
was nearly four feet in length, was speedily
dispatched with the thick end OF a fishing-rod.
The danger passed. the fair stroller expressed
herself none the worse for her adventure, al
though she declined TO pursue her walk any
further that evening"

A SHARP CLERK.-In 1922, M. Labouehere
then clerk in the banking house OF Hone &,
Co, Amsterdam, was sent by his patrons to
Mr.. Barring, the London banker, to negotiate a
loan. He displayed in the affair so much abil-
ity as to entirely win the esteem and confidence
of the great English fnancier
Faith said Labouchere one day to Barring
your daughter is a charming creatures L wish
L could persuade You to give me her hand"
Young man, you are joking; for seriously
you must allow that Miss Barring could never
become the wife ofa simple clerk
But, said LabOuchere, ''if were in part
nership with Mr.. Hope?"
"Oh, that would entirelymake up for all 9th
er deficiencies"
Returning to Amsterdam, Labouchere said
to his patron:
"You must take me into partnership;
"My young friend how could You thipk OF
such q thing? 1t is impossible. You are with
out fortune and"
"But if become the son-in-law OF MIR. Bar
sip that case the affair would soon be settled,
and so Won have my word"
Mortified with these two promises, NJ La

after married Miss Barring, because Mr.. Hone
had promised to take him into partnership;
and he thus became allied to the house OF
Hope & Co. His was magnificent career.

The MAIN PoNT.-An exchange tells the
following story in relation to John G. Whit
tier:
On one occasion he was travelling with a
friend over a New Hampshire railroad, and
during conversation, Whittier's friend, who is
also member Of the Society of Friends told
the poet that he was on his way to con-
tract for a lot OF oak timber which he
knew would be used in building gunboats at
portsmouth, and asked him whether he
thought IT was exactly consistent with the
peace doctrines of the Quaker denomination.
Without saying anything calculated to decide
it, the two friends arrived at their parting
place, when Whittier, shaking his friends
hand, said
"Moses, if thee does furnish any of that
oak timber thee spoke of be sure that 1t is all
sound"

3 GEORGIAN BAY CANAL. =

a tsfs GEORGIAN BAY CANAL. III
The question of a ship canal from Georgian
Bay to Toronto, to connect the waters of Lakes
Huron and Ontario, is being again asitatedin
the PROVINCIAL papers. The Globe and its CORE
sponae.as undertake to show its after inprac-
ticabity that it will cost at least $4,000, 900;
that the commerce that would seek ID would
never pay the interest that few vessels of
1900 tons would pay toll of $1,000 to save
two days in voyage from Chicago to Liver
pool, and that with clear understanding of
the facts and difficulties in the case no capital
st will invest dollar in it, and it is perfectly
preposterous to look for aid from the govern
ment. .,.... ih@
Besides, it is asserted that Lake Simcoe,
from which the canals both ways could alone
be fed, the descent towards Lake Huron being
about 175 feet, and towards Lake Ontario
neatly If not quite 500 feet, is shallow lake,
with small feeders, and in the season OF navi-
CATION would soon be drained and fail to yield
an adequate supply of water for the purposes
required. t.t+ rf.,. 1s.
