The convention of French Canadian

The steamship Vile De Paris, which
arrived yesterday from Brest, encoun-
tered a terrible hurricane on her voyage,
during which the captains large house
or deck was washed overheard and the
Mace where it had stood was left as
though it had been swept by a broom.
The port side of the bridge was ground
to pieces. Two immense iron davlts
were twisted almost in two. The life
boat was washed overheard and hung
from the stern davits, beating against
the side of the ship until officers PECK
and Lefranc sprang into the sea and cut
it adrift. Solid lead ratings were torn
in two and heavy brass and iron stanch-
ions twisted in all sorts of shapes. A
sailor named Godfrey was lost overheard.
Captain Daure, who was standing on
the bridge, was hurled by the waves
against the boat, which alone prevented
him from going overheard. He was at
first supposed to have been fatally in
jured, but is slowly recovering. Second
Captain Leframe had his left arm
broken, and several sailors were severely
injured. At a meeting of the passen-
gers on the day before arriving in port
resolutions expressive Of gratitude and
thanks were voted to Captain Daure
and his gallant officers for their behav-
Tor during the fearful storm.
The Seamen's Protective Association,
Longshoremen, Riggers and Others in

rate of wages About six hundred men
we're in line, who conducted themselves
in peaceable and orderly manner.

A WASHINGTON special says " a Re-
publican Congressman from Tennessee
at present in the city, gives it as his
opinion that in only one district of that
State will Republican be elected to
Congress this fall, and he puts down
Roderick Random Butler, of cadetship
fame, as the one man likely to be re-
turned. The gentleman referred to ex-
meets to be a candidate for reelection
himself, but as he candidly states, with
out the slightest hope of success We
presume Barbour Lewis is the Repub'
lican Congressman referred to, for he
knows that he viii never again be elected
to Congress.

Farming experience 10 strange coun-
tries are frequently refreshingly novel.
Flocks of bleating nannygoats among
the Alps are a queer sight, and the Es-
quimaux reindeer and the African kraals
filed with hump backed, long horned
cattle, and the Austrian kangaroo en-
closures; but, perhaps, the queerest is
the ostrich stock Of the Cape Of Good
Hope. These slender-legged and short
winged birds become after while as
tame as geese, and follow the owners, a
motley and disorderly crowd all over the
farm. They get "plucked oftener than
any stupid, undergraduate at an English
college. But they don't mind it as much.
When about eight months old their
feathers become valuable. After that,
every half year they are coopsd up and
turned out shorn. The yield to each
bird is from thirty to forty dollars, and
the food costs comparatively httle--so
that the profit is quite as great as dairy
farming. Many ostrich farms return 70
their owners two or three thousand dol
lars annually.

milk, one cupful of sugar, and when
cool enough, two eggs (the yolkes and
whites beaten separately until they are
frothy), piece of butter the size of a
walnut, and very little salt. Mix
carefully, SO as not to break the rice.
and bake about half or three-quarters
of an hour.
CURE FOR EARAcEE. Children are
sometimes afflicted with earache to an
alarming extent, and there is sometimes
difficulty in obtaining an efectual
remedy for the disorder. A writer in
the Household says that she takes a
piece of salt pork an inch or more long,
and half an inch square cut down one
end to fit the ear, and insert it, taking
care to have the piece too large to slip
In. Tie a handkerchief to keep it in
place, if the child will allow it. She
also used pork for sore throat, Group
and lung colds. Cut slices half an inch
thick, dip In warm water, sprinkle on a
little pepper, and sew on flannel. She
has used pork for earache especially,
and always found it to give instant re-
lief.
CARE OF CANARY BIRDs.-Hang the
cage where the drafts do not strike the
bird. Give canary and rape seed,
plenty of fresh water, cutie fish bone,
and clean gravel on the bottom of the
cage often. Also, give the birds fresh
water to battle in every day. After they
have bathed, remove the dish, which
should be shallow. The room should
not be over-heated. Do not give them
cake or sugar. When moulting, feed
them on rape seed slightly moistened.
Hard-boiled egg and crackers grated
are excellent. Bed seed will kill birds.
Cabbage and sweet apples are good for
them, and new and then a fig. Plan
tain seed is also wholesome food for
them, and they are extravagantly fond
of it, often eating that when they reject
most other kinds of food. When you
go out for a walk, be sure to gather a
sprig for your pet, and before frost
gather and dry some for winter use.
With moderate care the little songstress
will repay your attention with sweet
notes of Joy.
