Curious JustOms-The ST. John, i. i
Fishermen.
Correspondence of the Montreal News.

Curious, too, it IL to mark how their sea-
taring habits tinge their speech. Servant
men or servant girls are said 10 ship
when they hire for month OF Tor six
months. A fne stout lass viii ring at
your hall door and inquire whether you
want to 'ship girl, aud when "a young
couple are engaged they are said to Sa
shipped" A congregation will talk OF
shipping" q new clergyman The master
of the house, whatever his calling, is iuva-
riably the 'skipper Even persons sre
shippers" of the church and at their
homes are impaired for under this
familiar designation. The best
society is called ''merchantabie"
that being the term for fish OF the
first quality; while the lowest stratum is
"scruff" or "dun." Flags are in universal
request. Every merchant has his flag at
storehouse or wharf. Il vast number OF pri-
vate houses have each q flagstaff, and on
holidays or occasions OF rejoicing the 1ogs
are hoisted When the schoolmaster de-
sres to indicate that the school hour is at
hand he eievates his Aag, hauling down TO
'half.mast" when but five minutes remain,
in order to quicken the steps of tho
loiterers. When, in other lands
holy bells would knoll to church "
the beadle here raises, on staff
in the churohyard, standard, on which
is emblazoned the mitre of the cross On
the bill that overlooks the harbor of St.
John, masts and yards are erected, and on
these tho movements of approaching yes-
sells are signalled by flags. At times these
yards look like . linen. diapers shop, from
the quantity OF cloth hanging in the wilma.
A very useful purpose is thus served. The
merchant is made aware that his vessel is
IN sight, and the whole town that the nail
packet or one of Adams steamers is APP
preaching.

Red Tape III France.

A French correspondent sends this story
from Tours
A curious aneodose is told of French red
tapeisna, as some people will call their adj
mAnl6trative system, which, with its ar
rangement of wheels within wheels. has
approached SO near TO absolute perfection
that the slightest grain of dust is suiii cient
TO dlsarrange the whole maehiue. When
the Ministers arrived ut Tours, M. Laurier,
ON taking possession of his office III the
Prefecture. was greatly surprised at find
ing sentinel on duty in one of the inner
passages.
III LaurIer could see no reason for the
mans presence there as the other entries
we're not guarded and his only duty ap-
peared to 90 90 keep every ono who passed
through In the centre Of the ball. IDuui-
ries We're made OF the local authorities, and
although every one Knew that the sentry
had always been posted there nobody could
tell the reason why. Still moro ANXIOUS.
the Minister directed the archives of the
Prefecture, 10 be searched and. after a
di!l6snt examination, il was discovered
that, thrce-eud twenty years before, the
corridor had been freshly painted and "a
guard had been placed there TO keep the
pubic nom rubbing against,the wallis No
order for has removal had ever been issued
since that time, aud so. since March, IS47.
an armed soldier had continued To pace up
ane down the passage, with orders TO keep
every one from coming into contact with
The PAINT.

escaped. Each man, Is he passed out into
the court, between two lines OF Swiss
!guards, was stabbed without mercy. Two
hundred of tho noblest and purest reform.
ers Of France lay piled in huge heap be-
fore the windows Of the Louvre; Charles
TX, Catherine and her infamous train OF
maids Of honor, inspected and derided the
dead. All through that fearful
Sabbath day, the feast OF st. Bartholomew,
and for two succeeding days, the murders
went on: the whole city was IL arms; every
hat or cap was marked with white c.oss,
and every Catholic was converted into an
assassin. Charles. a raging lunasc, rode
through the streets laug hing and TESTING
over the fallen; the streets were filled with
corpses; the Seine was turned TO blood
many Catholics grew rich by the plunder
| of the Huguenots; and it was believed that
the King and his brother Apjou, shared the
spoiis OF opuient merchants and skillful
lgoldsmiths. The papal nuncio Saiviati,
overjoyed at the spectacle, wrote to
the pope that nothing was to be seen In
the streets but white crosses, producing
fine effect; he did not see the heaps of
dead, nor the scenes of incapable crime.
Charles TX, 81 OF at the flying Haguenots
