FLoUR-BREAD.-The flour dealers and In.
spectors are at loggerheads. The bakers and
authorities are trying to head each
other. For the moment the latter are in the
ascendant; but the former, belonging to a
rising generation, and doughty in pluck are
not without hopes of rolling their antagonists
in trough of despond, if there be any virtue
in writs of mandamus, injunction, or hG6eas
corpus. In the meantime the city is in fer
nent lest the staff of life should vanish /from
is accustomed place and our people become
oafless. While the bakers work We're weighed
n the municipal scales and found wanting,
We rejoice in the fact that Margaret-our Mar

bright contrast; the Scriptural sentiment on

TO WHAT USE TRACTS ARE PUT.-In an arti-
lie which we read this week in the last num-
er of Ill Tie Year Round, we find the follow
ng anecdote relative to tract distribution
mong the miners in the far West. The wri-
er says these miners not burdened with

ending % meetin'," on much the same princi-
le that he would go to dog fight, tight
ope performance, because he looks upon it as
right thing to patronize the affair. At one

Never was there such demand for tracts

lpeal had to be issued by Il certain religious
)dy, whose mission it was TO look after sHch
attersy for increased contributions TO the
lear gold diggers' tract fund.- To- use the
ords of the appeal the cry comes Ger the
estern wave-more tracts, more tractsy At
st the painful truth oozed out (though hard
think it was related at the May meetings);
at the miners used the tracts TO paper their log
antics! A friend of mine, whose lot it was to
hcate as "a clergyman among them at one
ne, used often to tell me that he had to ring
bellin the morning all through the apology
a street, inviting the Pensioners to divine
orship, and that, finding nobody in church

lg saloon, or tavern, and then into another,
viting those assembled there to come to
