THE GRAND Trunk RAILwAY.-We
are authorized to state that the Grand
Trunk Railway have decided to change
the whole of the line east of Montreal
to the narrow gauge of As IL. and that
the work will be carried out about the
end of September this year. The Grand
Trunk Railway will then be of a uni
form gauge throughout, and the same as
the American lines with which it con-
meets at different points in the United
States. We believe that the Midland
Railway of Canada has either already,
or Is about to change its line to this
gauge.
The st. Lawrence and Ottawa r. R.
was originally constructed at four feet
eight and half inches. The Brockville
and Ottawa line is broad gauge one,
and when the Grand Trunk, east of
Montreal, is changed, will be the only
broad gauge line in Canada proper 1t
is to be hoped that the proprietors Of
that line will be able to conform it to
the general gauge, as the Importance Of
uniformity in that respect is now uni
versally conceded.-Mont. Gazette.

To the full as heroic as Collins Graves
ride in front of the food-for it seems
that, spite of the Boston Globes dene-
cations, Graves did act as hero should
at the Williamsburg disaster, was Tom
Conroy's successful attempt to rescue
the painter, Mccullough, from his awful
position near the edge of Niagara Falls.
The man was at work on the bridge lead
ing from Goat island to the Three Sis
tiers, and by some mischance fell in.
Those who have amused themselves there
with throwing sticks, and watching
them rush down the food, can imagine
how swiftly Mccullough was carried
away, and how hopeless must have been
his attempts to save himself from this
raging current. By little short of a
miracle, he was half stranded against a
rock in the middle of the stream, and
within forty feet of the edge of the Falls,
the roar of which must have sounded
like death knell in his ears. To this
rock he chung, much as Victor Hugo
describes Claude Frollo clinging to the
tower wall of Notre Dame, expecting
every instant to feel himself torn away
by the waters force and hurled over in
to the near abyss. The immense crowd
assembled on shore naturally gave HIM
up for lost, but this Tom Conroy, man
who acts as guide to the Cave of the
Winds, having had a rope securely fast
ened to the shore, plunged fearlessly in
to the current holding the one end of
the line and providentially reached Nc
Cullough. Then fastening the rope
round both, he gave the signal and the
rescued and rescuer were slowly but
safely hauled to shore Such brave
deed is we'll worthy of at least passing

Dropping into o. W. Towards har-

some of his fine work, we suggested to
him that for compensation We would
give him puff in our excellent County
paper, the MONITOR. Howard is a gen
erous fellow, and having his eye open for
the "main chance" offered us give
cents, and We, bound not to be outdone
in generosity, are determined to give
him his moneys worth. So we will say,
if any one wants fine driving harness.
or a work harness, call and see Howard
and if you don't get harness that will
suit you better and cost less than any
you can get elsewhere, then-well, we
will pay back that five cents, that's all.

A MOTHER Persons HER CHILD BY
MIsTAKE.-One week ago last Friday,
| Frank B. Cleveland of Greensboro Bend,
called in DIR. Adgate to prescribe for his
child, little girl of two and half
years, who was i'll with cold. The doc
tor prepared some powders, and also Il
wash for humor which the child had,
leaving another powder with which to
renew the wash when it became necessa-
ry. The first powders were harmless,
but the last was deadly poison, being
corrosive sublimate, in quantity sufficient
to have killed dozen persons. The
doctor laid the poisan aside by itself.
and cautioned the mother not to give it
to the child, as it was very poisonous.
Soon after he left, the mother took the
poison powder with the intention fput-
ting it where it could not be used by
mistake, but for some unaccountable
reason, unknown to herself, proceeded
at once to give it to her child. The lit
tie girl refused to take it, and the moth
er discovered by tasting of it, that it
was very disagreeable to the taste. FL
nally the most of it was swallowed by
the child, and no sooner was 1T taken,
than the terrible thought came to the
mother that she had given the poison
powder. The father was called at once,
and had presence of mind sufficient to
give an emetic of salt and water. Vic
lent vomiting was produced, and the
physician was soon in attendance, but
it was too late. So much of the poison
had been absorbed by the stomach be
fore the operation of the emctic. that
nothing could overcome its effects, and

would not all the value that is claimed

Mr.. SUMNER ON GRANrIsM. Those
who charge that Mr.. Sumner was
moved by mere personal pique to
make the strenuous and effective war
he did upon Grants Administration
either misunderstood Or wilfully mis-
represent the man and grossly talsify
his motives. He undoubtedly held
Grant personally in contempt. But
the picture he drew of Grant in what
happened to be his last great speech
will probably be the only portrait that
will go down TO future generations as
the prosepicture of our soldier Presi-
dent by a master hand. In this speech
Mr.. Sumner limned, not the object of
his personal hatred, but the head and
front of the money monopoly. "The
sordid embodiment of sordid idea
that was" to use Mr.. Summers own
