The CANADIAN LoBBI.-The reciprocity
treaty of 1854 with the British Provinces
was carried through here by various instru-
mentalities. Among them was the judicious
use of gold furnished by the Canadian Sc
cret service fund. The whole thing was ex-
posed not long afterwards by debate in the
Canadian Parliament. Forewarned, fore
armed. The Canadian lobby are here now,
but they are known aud watched. The
scheme of admitting the products Of the un-
taxed industry of the British Provinces duty
free into our markets to ruin our own corrc-
spending industries, which are carried on
under the heavy burdens rendered necessary
by the late civil war, Is too transparently abb
surd to receive any dlslnterested support.
The people are watching, and will mark the
men who are lending themselves to meas
ure so august and so fatal to our interests.
If the British Provinces will come into our
Union, we will receive them with welcome
and gladness, but we cannot concede them
our markets while they decline to share our
burdens.

THRILLING INCIDENT. During the late
flood two men near Long Eddy, took rope
and went upon some low land near the Del
aware river to fasten a stack of hay, and
before they could make it fast and return,
the sudden rise of the water cut off their
communication with the high lands They
were compelled to seek refuge on the stack.
and despite ropes and ties it soon foated
off. In a moment more they were floating
down the raging tide. No help for them,
and no paddle or pole to guide their tender
and tottering craft Down, down the over
flowing and surging torrent, they foated
and ro led along. No boat could reach
them, for the water was too rough and rap
id. Soon they passed Callicoon, twelve
miles distant, and in short time was ap-
preaching the Cochecton bridge, five miles
further down. Three miles more and the
Falls would shake their hay raft to atoms
and their hopes ended. Near Milanville
they were discovered far up the river, and
boat was made ready in time to reach
them before they foated by. Just in time,
only short distance above the rapids they
were rescued and safely landed on shore,
after most fearful ride of twenty miles
upon stack of hay. Many thanks to the
brave and skillful men who snatched them,
as it were, from a watery grave.-hjngstOn

Chinese Religion.

sacramento Cor. Cincinnati COMMERCIAL
Ireturned to Sacramento in time to wit
ness the great annual ''devil-drive" by the
Chinese, which was performed yesterday
and last night with imposing ceremonies.
All the Chinese of this city reside on street,
which TOR about five blocks is as foreign as
a town in China. There were at least three
thousand in town yesterday, from the va
rious railroads, and with the blowing of
horns, beating gongs, talking and yelling.
open-air theatres and bands, they made
the evening lively. Nearly all the Chinese
IN America are Buddhists, there being very
few of the followers Of Confucius, who con,
stitute the fashionable infdels or philoso-
pliers of China, while the Buddhists are
the High Church party.
They reason the matter thus: eff God is
good, why pray? All right nohow-tend
to the Devil" Hence this ceremony of
driving out the latter. In company with
few whites [ crowded through the mass of
Mongolians to where @ tobacco factory had
been converted into a temporary ''Jos-
house. We found the Devil "out in the
cold, hideouS black figure, easily recog-
nizable as the Evil One, set upon pedes-
tai just outside the door. Within were two
enormous 'Josses, ten feet high, one in
each corner, over them a shelf filed with
little household gods, two feet in length,
while behind the altar the Buddhist
and attendant boys were going
through a ceremony very similar
to High Mass. The Buddhists,
like the Mormons, believe in plurality of
Gods, rising in regular succession to the
great Head God, whom the Mermons call
Eloheim, and the Chinese ''Top-side Joss >
Watching the uncouth scene till was tired,
passed out, and seeing a Chinese acquaint-
ance at the door who understood a little
English, L sought information, and received
it thus:
Myself Halo, John, do you believe in
him?"
All Ching-''Oh, velly, Melica man, me
believe him"
Myself -'All Cinnamon believe in him. y
All Ching-''Oh, China like Melica man.
Some believe him sahvey; some tink he all

And [ felt that I was answered.
A FAMILY PUZZLE. Abiding to the re-
port that NJ. Lesseps ana his son-who are
referred to as ''MM. X. pere ct fils"-are
about to marry two sisters, the Rappel
suggests the following complications as
likely to arise from these double espousals;
To begin with, X, the son; Will be the
brother-ln-law OF his father, and the wife
will become the sister-in-law of her own
sister. If NJ. X. senior has son, and NJ
K. junior Il daughter, and they should
marry, the daughter of X. junior will be-
come the sister-in-law of her father; and
the son of X senior will be the son -in-law
of his brother and Of his sister-in-law. If
there should be a child of this second mar
riage, it Will have two grandfathers, NM
x. senior and junior, whence it follows
that x. senior will become the brother of
his own son. More than that, if boy,
he will be the brother of his own mother,
since he and his mother are alike grand
children of x. senior; and as a mothers
brother is an uncle, he will be IN the anon
alous position of being his own uncle.

A CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY to be bull
from Ottawa to Puget Sound, distance Ct
over $500 miles, is now exciting great at

be asked for at the coming meeting of the
Legislature. The line, it is asserted, would
be shorter than any other route between
the Atlantic aud the Pacific, and the harbor
at Puget Sound IS the best on the Pacific
coast The domestic advantages of the
road would be very great, the remote part
re the British Dominions would be con-
naetel: employment would be given to
vast armies of Iaborers; emigrants would

line between the United States ana the
British Possessions, was also entrusted with
the task of finding suitable route for a
railroad TO to the Pacific. Mr.. PalllseT S
report, now on file in the Government
offices in London, it is asserted, states that

A CAPITAL JOKE.
A Secretary of state i'm an EInbarrass-
ing Situation,

An Elyria (Ohio) paper tells the following:
A capital joke has just leaked out on the
good-natured and affable gentleman, Gen
L r. Sherwood, Secretary of State. During
the late canvass this prince of good fellows,
who, by the way, enjoys good joke, even
at his own expense, had occasion to stop at
Oberlin He was provided with a comfort
able room at the hotel, and Immediately
set about the task of doffing his apparel
and cladding himself with an entire change
of dress. After removing from his per-
son every stitch of clothing even to
the shirt 1the General is always very neat
and tasty in his dress), he stepped forward
and opened door, as he supposed, of
closet, for the purpose of placing therein
the doffed garments. But behold his
astonishment, when, instead of opening
the way to closet, he opened door lead
ing into a commodious sitting room, which
was occupied by number of ladies.
full developed manhood, as barren of cloth
ing as in the moment he made his debut
in the world, standing unobscured before
the ladies' and the illustration of the mod
est General at the mistake he had made,
caused CONSERVATION among the parties
that can more easily be judged than related.
The General however, notwithstanding
his shocked modesty, retreated IN good
order, and soon reinvested himself with
that of which he had been divested, but
fully convinced of the fact that all doors
opening out of rooms do not lead the way
to clothes closets. .#.-.

A Dying Man in a Difficulty Coffin
iTnO Small.

From the Honolulu Gazette, Sept, %
A certain native living IN KSOlau has
been sick, and, apprehending that his end
was ear at hand, sent into town for d COT
fin, so that his friends might be prepared
to give him proper burial In due time
the coffin arrived, upon seeing which grave
doubts arose in the sick mans mind as to
whether it would fit. No means to
decide the question appearing so
conclusive to him as a personal
test" he tried himself and could not
get in-the thing was too narrow! He
soundly berated his messenger for his stu
pidity in not getting coffin suitable for the
purpose, and lost no time in saving the cap
ital invested so far as possible. Knowing
of another man sick like himself, who also
expected to die, he entered into negotia-
tions with him at once, and succeeded in
aisnosing OF the useless Ito him) article, at
a loss of only four dollars. Our readers
will appreciate the above when we state that
this provident gentleman is the honorable
member from Koolan, who in years past has
caused no little mirth on account of his ec-
centrlcities. We sincerely hope that the
venerable and eccentric gentleman's fears
will not be realized, but that he may, in
stead, long live and make US all laugh many
more times.
