The day following our centennial les
tiyities the following incident occurred
in South end saloon:
A friend had invited one OF the South
Carolina soldiers into the saloon to put
another turf on the buried hatchet
While standing at the bar stranger
came in. The Carolinian suddenly
dropped the glass and closely eyed the
stranger. His gaze was so steady and
peculiar that the friend began to be
alarmed and to fear that the hatchet was
about to be dug up again. Directly the
Carolinian asked the stranger if he
knew him. There was no recognition,
whereupon the Carolinian asked him ii
he was not in the late war.

QUEBEC has solved the problem of pro.
viding for laboring people thrown out
Of employment by financial disasters,
and proposes to furnish work to mechan.
ics who have been forced into idleness
by means ofthe recent business troubles
To do this she will erect a new market
house, and a number of public build
fngs. She will pay reasonable rate Of
wages, which, while sufficiently below
the regular prices to make the present
erection Of the buildings an object to the
city, viii be great advantage to the la
borers, who must, but for this, be idle,
and unable either to provide for present

| LONG TRIALS, such as that Of the great
Brooklyn scandal case, are of rare oc-
currence, and form remarkable epochs
in the history of English and American
Jurisprudence. As this trial is in all
probability about to reach its termina-
tion, it would perhaps be interesting to
recall few Of those, within the last
hundred years or so, that have equaled
it in length. In 1855 resolutions OF i'm
peachment against Warren Hastings
were presented in the House OF Com
mons by Edmund Burke, the great
leader of the Opposition party at that
time in England. Hastings was ac-
cused of flagrant acts of injustice, of
oppression, eXtortion and cruelty, prac-
ticed upon the detenseless native princes
of subjects of India who had ia len un-
der his authority while Governor Gen
eral Of that country. The prellmi-
nary measures occupied more than a
year, and on the 18th of February,
178S, the regular trial began in Westmin-
ster Hall. On June 2, 1871, the 73d day
of the trial, the Commons having agreed
to withdraw some Of the charges, the
accused began his defense, which was
protracted until April, 1895, when he was
acquitted by large majority. The trial
had occupied in all 14S days, and cost the
defendant his entire private fortune.
The conspiracy trial of Aaron Burr be-
gan at Richmond, Va, in the latter part
of March, 1907, and was not completed
until the first of the following Septem-
Der. We have not the data to determine
the exact number of days consumed in
this trial, but we may safely judge from
the reports given of it that the court was
in actual session in the case the greater
portion of that period. The trial of
Queen Caroline, wife of George ", ex-
tended at intervals through the year
1920 and a considerable part of the
succeeding year. Every one in this
as well as in England,
has heard of the famous ITCH
borne case. The civil cause having been
decided against the claimant, he, Arthur
Orton as he was declared to be named,
was arraigned for forgery and perjury
April 10th, 1873. The opening for the
Crown and the hearing Of the testimony |
132 days, and on December 9th |
DR.. Kenealy began his argument for the |
iefense. At the end of the 169th day,
January Goth, 1874, the Lord Chief JUS
ice began to deliver his charge to the
ury. This summing up required 1S days,
nd February 2Sth, al noon, the jury re-
ired and in less than thirty minutes re-
urned verdict OF "guilty."

RIFLE SHOOTING is fully as uncertain
as politics or petit juries. The day be-
fore the commencement of the great con-
test at Dollymount, this is what very OBJ
servant and wellposted correspondent
cabled to the New York Herald: .sThe
Irish rifemen admit the superiority of
The Americans at the eight hundred and
nine hundred yards ranges. They say
that if the Irish team can only maintain
their places at these two ranges they
will defeat the Americans at the thou
sand yard range"

there are not always market-houses or
public buiIdings to erect, there
are many branches of improve
ments in which this latent labor
might be employed, and for which
work must at some time be procured and
money expended. Could this be ac-
complished at lower rates by taking ad-
vantage Of these annual opportunities
and the sutferings of the needy and de-
pendent at the same time relieved, q
double benefit would accrue to the city
in getting her work done cheaply and
receiving something for that which she
must pay out for that class, and double
advantage arise to the laborer in giving
him food and encouraging spirit of In
dustry and self.dependence. In addition
to the opportunities which naturally
present themselves, others might be cre-
ated which would prove profitable to all
concerned, both financially and other
wise. In carrying out such scheme as
this it should, of course, be done to the
advantage of our working people and
not be held out as an inducement to
bring here people from distance who
happen to be also out of employment.
Provision might also be made to give
employment all the time to men having
families and only part of the time to
single men.

SEVERAL of our suburbs have been

check is general slaughter of the dogs.

THE prospects of the South are un-
doubtedly better now than at any time
since the close of the war. The political
situation is less exciting, there is bet.
ter feeling between the two races, and
people are paying more attention to the
cultivation of their crops and the trans.
action OF legitimate business, and less to
politics. The cotton crop in nearly all
parts Of the South is unusually fine;
tobacco in most places promises well,
Notwithstanding the late spring; the
wheat growing districts are yielding an
abundant harvest, and the corn looks as
fine as was ever known this time in the
season. With such a report as this from
the agricultural districts, money can
not but be plenty, and the country mer-
chants will be able to pay their debts,
make larger cash purchases, and place
their business generally on better toot-
ing than it has ever been before. The
Centennial celebrations stirred up such
a patriotic feeling among the people
that what was left of the old sectional
bitterness seems to have we'll nigh
died out, SO that there is not much
to fear from the probabilities of revival
of the political and race struggles that
have done SO much to depress business,
demoralize the people and prevent the
South from making such advances to her
proper standing as she would otherwise
long since have done. She is now invit-
ing emigration, encouraging home manu-
factures and preparing the way for a
season of prosperity that will more than
make up for all that she has suffered in
the series Of misfortunes that have Wis.
tied her in the shape of crop failures,
river oyerfows, intestine struggles and
financial embarrassments. Her people
are encouraged and have gone to work
with will, and, Notwithstanding all
that has been said, "there's life in the
old land yet"
