From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Lsst fall q well-to do farmer, about
sixty.five years of age, attempted to
violate the person OF bis granddaughter,
a beautiful girl Of about sixteen. This
incestuous wretch is the father of a fam
lily Of six girls, all OF whom are married.
His wife is still living and is with him.
The time Of the alleged rape was last
August. Since then various charges
have been entered againt him. Last
week the Circuit Court convened and q
grand jury was impanneled. The eldest
daughter of this mana woman forty
years OF age and the mother Of the grand
daughter-was summoned to appear be-
fore the grand jury and testify against
her unnatural father. In the examination
oneOf the jurymen ssid " Well, now tell
US sill about this.n The witness under
stood that she must give history oi all
the Iustful actions of her father that had
ever come to her knowledge. She pro
eeeded to say that st about the age Of
fifteen her father had. seduced her, and
that he had continued from that time up
to the presents period Of twenty-five
years-Io hold an improper Intimacy
with her. She was unable in several in
stances to tell whether her children were
the Offspring of her husband Or her
father. She further stated that her sis
ters had every one OF them told her that
the father had ssducsd them, and con-
tinued from time to time to have cTimi-
nal intercourse with them, and they too
had expressed doubts as to who wRs the
father OF some of their children.
She was asked how such fearful crimi-
nality could be carried on without the
knowledge Of her mother. To this she
replied thst he always managed to have
his wife away, or took his daughter TO
some place and used different pretenses
and subterfuges to effect his purpose.
When asked why all this was kept from
her (the daughter's) husbands replied
that her father was always Sffsctionate
in his nature, and any fsmlisrities he
practised were never looked upon with
jealous eye, but merely as fatherly
feeling toward daughter, and no sGspi
cioa had ever arisen ia the mind Of her
husband. The witness expressed no ILL
feeling against her father, bat said he
was always kind to her, and that lately
she had been dependent upon him. She
stat d also that she knew she was Grim
mating herself, but, nevertheless, said
calmly and deliberately, that she spoke
nothing hut the truth,
The strangest part of this revolving
story is that the old man, upon whom
the burden of these crimes rests, has for
years been q member of the church, and
hiss always been upright and honorable
in his dealings with his neighbors.

FAREWELL, CANADA.
English Views OF a North
American confederation.


From the London Times, March l2.l
There are those, Of course,
who have always regarded q North
American Confederation with suspicion
and distrust Stated without reserve,
their objection is that territory which
must, according to their view, be sb-
sorbed sooner or later By the United
States, is hereby retained 3 little longer
in allegiance to Queen Victoria st sac
rifice of its own true interests and those
of Great Britain. With an objection Of
this kind we cannot pretend to feel the
least sympathy, resting, as it does, on
misconceptions OF fact as we'll as on fal-
Iacies OF reasoning. II one thing be
clearer than another it is that confede-
ration renders the United Provinces not
more, but less, dependent on the mother
country. 1t is no secret that, from the
Imperial point OF view, the project was
fsvOrably entertained in connection with
the policy which throws upon colonies
the main responsibility for their own de-
fense. Henceforward, if British North
America becomes stronger for the pur-
poses of repelling aggression, it will b.
in spite OF large reductions in the British
garrison, and solely in consequence of
her own increased eff orts for self-prOtte
ton. It is worse than idle to represent
this country as having established the
Dominion of Canada 10 serve as bull
wark against the United s ates.
Though encouraged by the I'm
perihl GlverDment, the CoDfsdere-
ton mJvament emanated from the
provinces themselves, and the act of con-
federation makes the provinces. more
free than ever to disDose OF themselves
as they please. II the mass of the Reo.
pie should hereafter desire to enter the
American Union, Of which there Is no
proof or symptom, E9gland will ss-u-
redly not lift finger TO prevent 1t, and
unless the mass OF the population should
desire 1t, the United States can have no
wish to receive them. Whether they
gravitate in that direction by natural
law, and are destined some day to obey
the centripetal force, we are not con-
cerned to inquire. At present they prefer
confederation under the British mon
archy, and they ought to know their own
interests. Nova Scotia, especially, has
profited by the shoFt-sighted fiscal policy
OF the United States, aud has notsuffered
what she apprehended from the protec-
ZIONIST tendencies OF Canada. 1t is possi-
hle that her coal trade may at some
future time attract her toward the
American Union as much g. her ship
building trade now repels her from il,
! but she ls inhabited by much too basi-
ness-like population TO annex herself
for an idea"
