FrankEin,s Toast.


DIR. Franklin on one occasion dined with
an English and French Ambassador. The
Englishman offered the following toast:
England, the Sun of Liberty, Science and
Religion, shedding his genial rays over the
habitable Globe" The Frenchman. burning
with emulation, and jealous for the honor Of
his country, drank to France: 1.-The moon
that ilIumines with her mild and resplendent
rays the dark and benighred regions Of the
earth, cheering on the nations to glory and
honor, But he who could snatch from Jove
his thunder and subject it to his control was
not thus to be outdone. Rising with all that
dignified simplicity which SO much distin-
guished him, Franklin drank to George
Washington, 1.-THE Joshua of America. who
commanded the Sun and Moon to stand still
and they obeyed him."

KooTEsAI MfsEs.-A correspondent of the
Victoria (B. C.) Standard under date of May
18th, gives the following account OF the rev
produce trade opened from Montana, which
formerly was supplied from Walla Walla
Valley:
"a new channel is opened for supplying
the camps wth provisions. Five trains loaded
with flour, bacon. lard. eggs, etc.. arrived
from Montana early in the spriag, and sold
at prices hitherto unheard OF in the Kootenai
country. Bacon 22-I2 cts; -four Cts; beans
90 cts: eggs rs cts. per dozen. Their eargoes
sold readily. The low price OF provisions
will be the means of keeping miners in the
country. Mining operations are not progress
ing verv fast owing to nigh water at present. 2
The Kootenai region lies at the head of the
upper Columbia. in British Territory. whence
the great body Of the june freshet takes its
