The English Commissioner.

Three of the English members of the
Joint High Commission are now here,
namely: Sir Edward Thornton, Earl
DeGrey, and Prof. Montague Bernard.
Lord TenteTdon, the Secretary to the
Commission, and deemed by them one of
their most valuable members, is also here.
The arrival of Sir Stafford Northcoe and
Sir John Macdonald is impatiently ex-
pected, as it is not deemed advisable to
begin work seriously until one or both
reach here. An urgent dispatch was ~
day sent to Sir John Macdonald, request
ing his immediate attendance.
1t is deemed quite a concession to al
low the Dominion of Canada to be repre-
scented in this Commission, as the ques-
tons which concern the Dominion are of
far less importance than the Alabama
claims question. A preliminary meeting
of the Commission is to be held on Mon
day next, but it is not expected that any
thing important will be transacted, ex-
cept, perhaps, arranging the order Of
topics TO be discussed.
A great deal of empty comment and
speculation have been provoked by the
recent discussions in the Dominion Par
lament upon the subject of the claims
for damages on account of
The Fenfan Raids.
And it has been assumed by some that
these claims will 60 before the High Com
mission. There is really no warrant for
such a supposition, but on the contrary,
it may be positively stated that neither
the British or American negOtistors look
upon the Fenian claims as embraced in
tue agreement of topics 10 BE- discussed
by the Commission. These Canadian
claims do not quite reach million of
dollars, and have yet tobe formally made

A Good Way to Get out of IT,

l remember one Of those rarc
instances in the experience of coun-
try printers, when a man came in
the office to thrash me. I had then
arrived at the mature age Of 19.
but was not as vigorous as l am
now. In the course of some no
lice items in a country town, I had
occasion to note the fact that q GER
tain Dutch butcher, hight six feet,
age 80, weight 200, had whipped
his vile, proceeding to which l
objected, and commented on with
the severity which I hope the en-
lightened press of the country will
always exhibit on such occasions.
The next day the butcher came
IL and proposed to interview the
writer of that paragraph. He
looked at me and inquired if 1
wrote it. We think quick in great
perils, and people in danger Of be
ing thrashed con do q very email
amount of ratiocination in a short
time. l saw there was no use of
arguing with the fellow, and l
said to him:
Hans, are you a subscriber to
this PAPER ?"
Hans, who understood thorough.
ly that he had been maligned, was
not so sure on the subject of SUBJ
scription. and he shook his head
and asked me what / meant. Hans
are you a subscriber to this paper?'
Hans scratched his head again and
believed he was not. said bold
ly:
Put your hand in your pocket
book, and give me two dollars to
pay1your subscription Until you
do, / would like to know what bu-
siness it is Of yours what we sayu
l escaped the thrashing that
time, and commend it to the atten.
ton of all who put such things in
their papers.-IOne of Whitelaw

How the Inventor OF ChlorOfoYm
Died.

How the Inventor OF Chloroform
Died.
l can not recall the history of
our chief prison without thinking
CT that most painful episode which
occurred in one of its cells a little
more than twenty years ago, and
which has recently been revived
by the proposition to build a mon
ument to the inventor of anasthe
tic prerations. That inventor died
in the Tombs by suicide. When
the writer was stopping at the
Western Hotel, in CORTLAND street
at the time referred to, he met DR..
Wells Of Hartford. The doctor
was large and noble looainy man
and had come to the city on a pro-
fessional trip in connection With
his recent discovery of chloroform
which was then attracting great
notice.
After finishing the duties of the
day, he walked out in the evening
to sec New York life by gas light,
and INDUCED too freely in strong
drink. BY midnight. he was ar
rested for disorderly conduct and
locked up in the Tombs. He re-
covered his senses before daylight
and found himself the inmate of a
cell. The reaction was so great
that he at once determined to com
NIT suicide. He opened an artery
in one of his legs. and then, hav-
ing vial ot:chloroform in his pocket
TOOK enough TO Supply his frame
In few hours he was found stiff
and cold, and weltering in his own
blood. Such was the end of one
OF tie greatest benefactors of his
race. The remains were buried in
Hartford, where it is now propos-
ed to honor his memory with a
mOnu nCnt.

THE LEAVES AND THE WIND.

| ONCE on a time little leaf was
heard to sigh and cry, as leaves
often do when gentle wind is
about. And twigs said:
"What is the matter, little leaf p
:" The wind" said the leaf, 'just
told me that one day it would pull
me of, and throw me to the ground
to die I"
The twig told it to the branch.
and the branch told it to the tree.
Do not be afraid, hold on tight
~. and you shall not go of till you
want to-"
And so the leaf stopped signing
AMI went on singing and rustling.
And so it grew all Summer long
till October. And when the bright
days Of Autumn came, the leaf
saw all the leaves around becom-
Ing very beautiful. Some were
yellow and some scarlet, and some |
we're striped with colors. Then it
asked the tree what it meant. And
the tree said:
All those leaves are getting
ready to fly awsy, and they have
put on these colors because of their
joy"
Then the little leaf began to go,
and grew very beautiful in think
Ing OF it And when it was very
gay in colors, it saw that the
branches of the tree had no color
IN them, and so the leaf said

just then a little puff of wind
came, anil the leaf let 20 without

RAILROADS As CASTE Jewelers. IN
INDIA.-Contrary to general ex
pectation, the railways have been
immensely popular among the ma
lives. They sre travel ng people
having been accustomed from an
cient times to making long pill
grimages; and as soon as they
became familiar with the sight OF
the cars. they began to crowd them
in great numbers. The system of
caste was at first an objection, in.
asmuch as q high caste Brahmin
was wont to consider himself pol
luted il even the shadow of a low
caste man fell upon him, and much
more II he touched him. The
companies were strongly import
uDed to establish caste care, in
conformity with the social regula-
lions Of the country; but the gov.
eminent wisely forbade it. and the
advantage of this rapid mode of
travel we're found to be 80 great
chat these siren predjudices were
overcome; and now, all who are
not willing to pay for the exclu-
sive use Of . car are packed to
gether promiscuously. Moham-
medans and Hindoos, Brahmins
and Pariahs, may be seen sitting
cheek by jowl; as composedly as
il they bad been made Of one flesh
The railroads Of India are thus
having an important influence in
breaking down the power of caste.
The cars In India are after the
European pattern, divided into
compartments, but not equal in
comfort to those of the same clas.
ses in England, and altogether in
ferior to those of our own country.
