1t is not a genera ly known fact
that nearly two hundred people IN
New York City rise at day break for
the purpose of repairing to the
slaughter houses and drinking the
warm blood of animals. These PEG
pie are not vampires, but consump-
tives, who find in the blood the
means of prolonging existence. One
lady, who has followed the practice
of drinking warm blood for several
years. contends that it has p:olons-
ed her life fifteen years, and has
become an absolute luxury. At
first the taste is said to be Iepulsive
but subsequently,, the desire for the
ensanguined fluid becomes intense,
aud it's good effects make it COM
mendabIe to invalids.

The result of the election in Connecticut
is astounding in this-the choice of Dem
ocratic Legislature, which carries with il
the selection of a United States Senator in
place of Buckingham, (Republican.) I'm.
der the Constitution of Connecticut, all
towns incorporated before the year 1900
have two members each; all incorporated
since have one member. Thus the rule OF
population is ignored. The Democratic
city Of New Haven with fifty thousand
people has two members. Many towns with
but thousand people have TIE same repre-
sentation. The Democratic strength in
Connecticut is in the large cities and towns,
and the Republican strength in the smaller
precincts. Therefore it is a political won
der and miracle that we have carried in
such body Democratic majority.

LOUIS RIEL.
was expected

The public had almost lost all recollection
of the Red River rebellion against the Dom
inion Government in 1870, until the late ex.
element in Ottawa over the appearance OF
the leader in that affair, Louis Rel, to claim
seat in Parliament, to which he was elect
ed from one of the Manitoba districts. The
French half-breeds of Manitoba, of whom
Riel is One were dissatisfied with the reor-
ganization Of the Canadian Government, and
attempted to secede. A provisional govern
ment was formed, with Riel as President.
One of the actions of his brief rule was the
execution of Thomas Scott, the leader of the
Loyalists. Indictments have been found
against him for murder and for treason, and
reward was several years ago offered for
his apprehension.
Under these circumstances it is singular
that Rlel should have the assurance to ap-
pear at the Dominion Capitol as a member OF
Parliament. The opposition newspapers in
Canada explain it by saying that the Gov
eminent has determined to graz amnesty to
the Red River rebels upon the strength of
their continued good behavior The theory
is plausible, because, notwithstanding the
public Indignation expressed at Riel's reap
pearaDce he was allowed to 60 free. 1t il
not likely that he will take his seat, how
ever, rs the public sentiment is too stroLg
for him to resist. The probability is that
he has already returned home, or fled from
the jurisdiction Of tho officers of the Do
minion.

There are two young men in the Sarnia,
Canada, Jail, who will be transferred to the
lunatic asylum as soon as vacancies occur
in the latter institution. The story of their
incarceration is short. but peculiar. They
both loved the same girl, and naturally
quarreled about her. One day, after imbib-
ing freely from the flowing bowl, they met
and quickly passed from words to blows !;
but the physical injuries resulting from the
contest were trivial compared with the men,
Encouragement which followed. They have
both become wildly insane; but whether
from the effects of love or liquor, or COM
bination of both, has not been ascertained
1t is, however, safe to say that the mingling
of two such excitants is dangerous expert
ment for weak nerves.

played a prominent pirt in the political
history of our State that is somewhat lncon.
sistent with their previous association.
Rampant in their professions Of fidelity to
the cause they had supported, we find them
suddenly converted and wildly rushing to
embrace the tempting offers that were held
ont to them by those who could afford TO
pay for treachery.
The Radical Legislature of this State for
the past years has originated number of
schemes that We're denounced at the time
by the whole people as vlllainous frauds
and diabolical robberes. Pet jobs were
put up to enrich a few favorites and p"liti-
cal henchmen. These were provided for,
and soon thereafter other material was
sought for Men Of some character and
reputation were required to give tone to
the iniquitous measures that were sought
to be enforced-and what do we find
Alas let it be said to our dishOnor, that
too many of the oldest and best Of onr citi
zens have been too willing to come forward
and participate in the spoils that are reaped
from our over taxed and oppressed people.
We could mention, if we chose, several
corporate institutions that were universally
condemned and denounced at the time of
their creation by the Legislature. But with
the advance of time, we find by a gradual
process of succession, that our own people
are not deaf to the syren's song. They have
taken the places of the thieves and carpet |
baggers, and arc now pocketing the pelf
that found its way into the purses of those
whom we were wont to denOunce as the
vilest creatures on earth.
And yet, these people expect us to remain

community. This demand may be conceded
