The Canadians are in trouble. Follow
ing President Grants ungracious declara-
ton that they must behave better or he
would be obliged to curtail some Of the
privileges they now enjoy through the ia
yor Of our government, they learn that
there is good reason to believe the British
government is not pleased with their bad
course toward our fishermen, and will not
sustain them in it if they get into difficult
ty. Some Of the papers whine piteously
over the matter but that makes it no better.

The position of senator Schurz, as ex-
planned by his own remarks,is one dictated
almost exclusively by the politics of the
State to which he belongs. 1t amounts to
that and nothing more. The result OF the
Senator's experiment even in Missouri is
somewhat problematieal. The grand
question is not how it will affect the ad-
ministration but whether Schurz and his
party can keep any standing in the State.

...s...-Thr ,iemocrats are beginning to canvass

aaa~T The democrats are beginning to canvass
for candidate to be supported for the
Presidency in 1872. New York wants
Hoffman and the west supports Pendleton.
The HoiTmanites say Pendleton's green
back record disqualifes him, and the Pen
dletonians retort that no candidate of New
York will stand the ghost of chance be-
fore the people on account of the notori-
ously corrupt character of the democracy
in that city. In the war Of words there is
considerable truth told on both Sides

A near-sighted young man in Indianapolis

The new postal cards in England suggest
expedients for making thcmsecret. Invisible

The last advices from Andrew johnson

The remains of man were found last week,
across the boundary line between Maine and
Canada, in a piece of woods where formerly a
lumber operation was carried on. There was
only the skeleton, some brass buttons, and a
pair of army shoes on the bones of the feet,
remaining. 1t is supposed that some bounty
jumper, as long ago as during the war,
in the act of deserving, lost his way in
the woods, and there, through fatigue, hun
ger and exposure, persisted.
