OTTAWA, Sept. 1.-THE trial OF James
Whalen for the murder of Hon. Il. d.
McGee, was commenced this morning
before Chief Justice Richards. The
court was densely crowded. and there
was much excitement in tho city,
James O'Reilly, of the Queens Court,
appeared for the Crown, and Messrs. j
H. Cameron, Kenneth, Mckenzie and
McCammon for the defence, assisted by
NJ. Affarell, the celebrated criminal
lawer, of Quebec. The prisoner ap-
boldly to his name.
After the jury had been sworn, Mr..
OI&eilley opened the case, stating that
the Crown expected to prove that the
murder was planned by a band OF con-
spirators in Montreal, and the prisoner
was the instrument chosen to carry the
crime into effect. He spoke at consid-
eruble length, detailing the facts of the
case. The defence mnde no opening
speech. a large number of witnesses
were examined for the Crown. The
most important evidence given is that
of Lacrox, who swore that he saw
Whalen shoot MCGEE. The other evil
dence was circumstantial, and differs
in no material degree from that elected
at the inquest, but is very damaging to
Whalen. 1t is said that the Crown will
put woman in the box 10 swear that
Whaien told her that he murdered Nc
Gee. The trial will occupy four or five
days.
It is stated that the Imperial Govern
ment has sanctioned general outline
of the International Railroad, providing
that 1t should strike certain points. The
details are left to the Dominion Gov
ernment to arrange.

Butcher and His Pipe.

Here is an iacident of the European war of 1915, told by the German papers :
 On the morning of the memorable bat tie of Waterloo, Henneman had just handed his master (Blucher) a lighted pipe, when . cannon ball struck the ground close by, scattering earth and gravel in all directions, and causing the white charger on which Butcher was mounted to spring aside-a maneuvre that broke the pipe into thousand pieces before the owner had time even to lift it to his lips
 "Just keep 8 lighted pipe ready for me ; I shall be back in few moments, after l have driven away the rascally French churls."
 With these words Butcher gave the command "Forward, boys"' and of he galloped with his cavalry. Instead, how ever, of chase of few minutes, it was a rapid march of nearly a whole hot sum- mers day, as we all know from history, After the battle was over Butcher rode back with Wellington to the place where he first got a glimpse of the combating armies, and nearing the spot where Blucfer had halted in the morning, they saw to their surprise solitary man, his head tied with handkerchief one arm in sling, and calmly smoking pipe.
 Bonner and Blitzl," cried Butcher why that is my Henneman. How you look, boy. What are you doing here alone
 ''Waiting for your speedy return,' was the grumblng answer You have come at last have waited for you here, pipe in mouth, for the whole day. This is the last pipo in the box The cursed French have slot away every pipe from my mouth, have ripped the flesh from my head, and shattered my arm with their deuced bul- lets. It is we'll there is an end to the battle, or you would have been too late even for the last pipe" Saying which, he handed to Butcher the pipe to enjoy the remaining fumes of the weed. Wellington who had listened attentively to the conversation, here remarked to Butcher "you have just admired the unainching loyalty and bravery of my Highlanders, what shall say to this true and devoted soul ?" "But our Highlan- ders had no pipes to regale themselves with"

The Negro Disturbances at
 Washington.
, the New York Herald. l

From the New York Herald
 The riotous and murderous conduct of the blacks at Washington after the charter election had resulted in Radical victory may we'll alarm the country. 1t matters but little whether the first blow, which was the proximate, accidental cause of the riot, was struck by white or by black hand. All accounts seem to agree, however, that an inoffensive white man, a solder, was the first victim of negro violence. Cut across the ribs with razor, he died in short time. Another white man WAS killed by negro, who cut him across the wrist with razor, seyering an artery. The house of conservative judge of election was entered and gutted by a negro mob, which was prevented on- y by the starategy of policeman from de- molishing the office of the National Intelli- gencer. Restaurants were stoned, forcibly entered and robbed. The windows of other buildings were broken, and the wife of police officer was struck on the shoul- ders by one Sf the missiles Throughout the city large number of negroes were arrested, most of whom were found to be armed with musket, clubs and pistols, but, as if indicating the savage ferocity of the infuriated blacks, their favorite weapon was found to be the razor.
 What strikes us, however, as still more horrible detail is the incendiary speech addressed to the negro mob by Mir Forney. Our correspondent, in his letter which we published yesterday states that the ex-Secretary of the Senate told this mob that there were two regi- ments of Lees rebel troops in the city with hostile intent against the colored people
 No language can be too strong in repro bstion of such direct appeal to the worst passions of an ignorant and exeitable race Its tendency to provoke dangerous, if not fatal, collisions between whites and blacks is inevitable Yet this Is the tendency of the entire policy of the Jacobin leaders of the dominant radical party. What Charles Lamb would have classed among the imperfect sympathies between the two races these blind leaders of the blind ere trying their utmost to convert into cruel antiquities. An infnity of painful conse- quences must ensue, eliminating, if not providentially checked, in repetition on a grander scale of the horrors of the St. Domingo massacre.
 We firmly believe that both the former shareholders of the South and their emanci pated slave would gradually have adapted themselves to their new relation to each other, reaping mutual advantages from it, iffanaticai intermediates had not wickedly sown the seeds of a dreadful conflict of races. The first fruits of this conflict are visible in the recent deplorable scenes at Washington A full harvest of destruc- ton will be the final and terrible result.

 Novel Way to Fill Teeth.

MEssRs EDITORS In No. II, cur rent volume, I notice the statement of dentist eff Zanesville, Ohio, who had extracted and replaced molar tooth for lady, which had done good service for the space of II years, and now had to be again extracted, being found aching from an ex- posed nerve. What is singular about 1t, is that the nerve, after having been bro ken should reunite do not see how this could be possible.
 A short time previous to that spoken of by him, while I was practising dentistry in Ohio, young woman applied to mo to fill the cavities in two large incisors. Upon examination l found them so far gone that the task to me would be very difficult, and to her too painful to endure. The surroundings seemed to be sound, with but slight inflammation, so l made the novel proposition to extract, fill, and re- place them, to which she consented. l prepared a small wise, fitted the jaws with soft pine, and after getting everything in readiness, placed her slightly under the
 influence of cheloric ether and extracted the one which was worse decayed, found the lingual surface nearly gone. placed it in the wise, cleaned it, making the orifce entirely through and consequently had to file from the inner angles on each side, all of which performed in about five minu tes, when 1 again administered little ether, replaced said tooth and extracted the other, and proceeded as with the first, which occupied three or four minutes, the whole being performed inside of ten min utes. I lately heard from her, the teeth remain as sound as they were when l fill ed and replaced them, doing good service. Any doubting dentist can satisfy himself of the truth of this statement by applying to the lady herself, Susan Liddill, who re- sides at Union Village, Warren county, Ohio The nerve in one oi.these teeth was dead before the tooth was extracted, and both of them doubtless received their nourishment from the surrounding alveolar process. How long they may be nourish- ed from the source and be of service, is yet to be determined.
 
 l tried the experement on young man, which also proved a success, but it has been some years since heard from him. I also tried with others partially decayed bicuspids and molars, but did not succeed in getting them into paying service, as they had to be re-extractcd in short time. But l do not see why a perfectly sound one might not re eunite with the alveolar process or surrounding walls and thence receive nourishmeRt aud become seryiceable' H.$L. EAnES.

 AN INCIDENT IN A PALAcE,-A nun Der of courtiers were gathered one day in the palace of King Edward VI. of Eng land, and one of them desiring to obtain an article that was little beyond his reach, thoughtlessly took large Bible from the table and stepped on it. The young King, whose piety was most sincere and devuout, was deeply grieved at this want of reverence for Gods word. But he loved the offender, and was unwilling to subject him to the modification ofa public rebuke while he felt that the offence ought to re- eeiye attention. He theriore lifted the Bible from the floor with great care, laid it gently on the table, then stepped over and reverentfy kissed it. The silen, act made profound impression on the courtiers; tears moistened many eyes, and the offen- der felt most keenly the tender reproof conveyed by the monarch. It were well if in all places and all homes simslar reverence were cherished for the word of God

Raising Field Beans.

For some reason farmers do not like to raise field beans why, we do not know, unless they deem the trouble too great for the return made. It may be true that the crop is not paying one when good corn or wheat land is used for this pur- pose exclusively, yet we do not think 50, especially when beans command in mar ket a price like the present. But the question of using good soil for this pur- pose alone need not be brought forward, for they may be grown abundantly upon land that will produce nothing else, or raised with very little trouble sy planting them with corn.
 One great trouble with the cultivation of this crop has been the curing process, or, in other words, drying the vines ready for the threshing floor and this difficulty has arisen almost entirely from late plan ting, the vines not having time to mature while in the ground before the heavy rains and early frosts come on in the fall. Beans should be planted at the same time as field corn and in the same hills, with few inches space between the different seeds
 The hills containing both are cultivated together, and the beans will ripen and the vines dry up ready for the fail early in the season and may be easily gathered by going through the field with large basket.
 Beans are said to contain more life giy- ing and muscle-forming nutriment than any other vegetable food, two pounds of them containing as much muscle-making element as three pounds of wheat, and giving greater stimulant to the brain than three and a half pounds of wheat. They were the staple food in the army during the last war, when they could be obtained, and were the cheapest and best material that could have been furnished our sol ders to enable them to with stand expo sure and hardships. For the farmer who is continually performing hard manual la Dor they make equally as valuable and economical on article for tho table.
 If each husbandman in Ohio would produce one bushel of this crop the com ing season the quantity raised in this State alone would amount in the aggregate to ct least one hundred and eighty thou sand bushels, and be of greater value for food than the same amount of wheat Ohio Farmer.

TIE CAUSE OF RUsr IN WHEAT.-It is getting to be a pretty general opin- ion among farmers that the sowing of grass seed-clover or timothy-with the wheat in the fall, as has been com mon in nearly every wheat-growing district. is the cause of the rust on wheat, by reason of the moisture which the grass retains affecting the grain stocks when maturing.-These grass seeds, sown after the wheat crop has been harvested, will produce, it ia claimed, as good crops the following year as if sown at the time of the wheat, nine months previously. We should like to hear from our farmers on this subject, as there is apparently two sides 10 it- Ex.
