From the Syracuse Journal.1
We were shown this morning a miniature
steam engine, manufactured by Mr.. J. B.
Crawford, Of Glasgow, Scotland, 1t is per
feet in every part, and 70 small that it can
be covered BY lady's thimble. 1t can be
worked by steam, for which Mr.. Crawford
has small apparatus prepared, but he usu !
ally works i by atmospheric pressure
through flexible tube, with rubber air re-
ceiver. Mr.. Crawford is an engine manu-
facturer, and made the engines on the Gu
nard line Of steamships. The pet engine
was made n an amusement and to show
what could be done. 1t is undoubtedly the
smallest working engine ever made. Mr..
Crawford keeps it carefully enclosed in a
glass case, and has refused several offers for
it from persons who wished it as curiosity.

more nervous over this discovery for the
reason that she lately gavethe United States
polite notice that American fishermen cannot
fish any longer in Canadian waters, except.
where the privilege is secured us by definite
treaties. She need not tremble. We shall
trouble our neighbors.
But Canada will soon see that the only solu-
tion TO her difficulties is TO be found in annex
alton. To that belief have already come num-
bers of her property holders and politicians;
and the latest development of Canadian poll
tics is the formation of the Union League of
Montreal, whose organization has been de-
tailed in our Ottawa correspondence, and
whose purpose is to secure first the oonso-
lidation of the Dominion, then its inde-
pendence, and finally its annexation to the
United States. The programme is faulty
in being trife too elaborate. Our
Canadian friends still hold the slow notion
that it takes generation or two to effect re-
volution of this kind. In this age we destroy
institutions, overturn empires, and consoli-
date nations with the rapidity of earthquake
shocks and with far less commotion. Sepa-
ration from England, which they call inde-
pendence, is already assured the Canadians;
both mother and child assent to this with
equal eagerness, and a formal proposition
from either party would be gladly accepted
by the other But perfect union there will
not be in the New Dominion. 1t is an unne-
cessary step toward the annexation which
will be so eminently to the advantage of
Canada. and the idea of which requires but
little agitation to become popular there.
There will be independence whenever Canada
wishes it, and there will be annexation before
consolidation.

CANADIAN INDEPENDENCE AND AN
NEXATION.
From the N. Y. Tribune.

NEAAIlON.
From the NJ Y. Tribune.
1t is wonderful how logical the Fenian raid
has made our Canadian friends. 1t is sin
cerely to be hoped that the result has been
as beneficial to the invaders, though we fear
not. But it has certainly set the Canadians
thinking, and here is one of the conclusions
to which they have come after revolving the
fishery question in their minds. Canada, as
a colony, the English leaders say, has no
right to engage in war or to force the Mother
Country into war. But having set up as a
Dominion for herself, she is told by England
that she must protect and defend herself.
But suppose, says one pertinent and perhaps
rather lmpertinent querist Canada in pro-
tecting her fishery rights becomes embroiled
with the United States, will England fight
her battles? sob, no, they quote the Lon
don Telegraph as saying very rsuch as if it
were Mr.. Lowe talking in the Commons,
fortunately for us we are out of it since the
question concerns Canada practically in these
matters an independent power-and the
United States, its great neighbor. This is
like saying that if the Dominion offends she
must apologize, or if England is forced to
defend her, the colony must submit TO have
the expenses of war charged to her account.
And since the cost of war on any account
Alabama claims or fishery question must
fall on Canada, her duplex position as an
independent dominion and a dependent
colony is not highly agreeable to the people
who pay the taxes. Canada feels all the
