A delegation called upon the Domin
ion Finance Minister at Ottawa, yes
terday, and demanded protection for
the sugar interest. They said that
American sugar is allowed to enter
Canada at nearly the same rates as the
Montreal refineries pay for the raw
material, and if protection is not af-
forded these refineries must close. The
Minister intimated that relief would be
given.

TRYING THE PRESIDENTS WHISKY.
The Alexandria (Na.) Sentinel gives
ali account of the visit Of two.Virgin
ians to President Grant few days
since. These gentlemen were total
stranger to the President, bat being
ushered into his presence the spokes-
man of the pair remarked that they
were unreconstructed rebels who de-
sired to see him face to face, and the
President seeirg the humor of the
thing talked very pleasantly with his
visitors. Finally one of the Virgin
ians remarked that he did not mean to
be impertinent but that they had heard
the President was not opposed to a
good glass of whiskey, and that they
were somewhat of the same persuasion
and would like to take glass with
him for sociability's sake.
He smiled, and touched little bell, "
and ordered in the fluid and the callers
drank his health and prosperity, and
then departed we'll pleased with Their
visit, as the President also seemed to
be, evidently approaching huLor oi

For cheerful organ in the hour of
defeat commend us to the National
Republican. 1t is never at loss for a
new tune wherewith to revive the
dropping spirits of faithful third-term-
ers, but its latest tune like many 9th
ers from the same source, is SO full of
false notes as to be rather dreary.
Starkweather and Hawlcy arc the
texts from which it draws hopeful
moral for the Congressman who voted
for the Third-Term Force bill and
shows how foolish were the men who,
like Hawley, faithful in most things,
fell away from this supreme test of 10y
atty and voted against the Force bill.
That with voting for the Force bill and
not voting for it Republican Congress
men seem to have placed themselves
between the devil and the deep sea.
Most of those who voted for it were
politically dead already, and will
| therefore never have another chance to
receive the direct verdict of their con-
stituents upon the record made in vot-
ing for it. But it may be some salts
faction for Administration Congress
men who voted against the Force bill
| to reflect that Starkweather was rec
leatcd simrly because he ran in the
most thoroughly Republican district
in Connecticut, and that while Hawley
ran nearly two thousand votes ahead
of the Republican State ticket in his
district, Starkweather ran nearly five
hume re | votes hind it. Now that

teen. The Swiss had had no practice in
the tender arts, and began to woo the
widow on the money basis. He told Der
how much he had, and proved that
money was no object to him by giving
the widow $50 to begin with. The widow
saw her point and took her cue, and told
the Swiss she might possibly take no.

ement of family confidence the Swiss
swain gave the willing widow $3.50 more,
just to keep for him. This money met
with bad luck. The widow gave 1t to
her son to take care of, and the son re-
ported that he had lost it, and the Wild
ow grieved greatly thereat. Her merry
Swiss boy came to her reliet by telling
her not to mind the loss, 1t did not mat
ter a straw to him, he had plenty more
which should be hers, but she must
marry him Immediately. He could af-
ford to risk no more money until he had
an equivalent. She objected to a hasty
marriage; in fact she declined to marry
at all. The Swiss took his case before a
squire, and the squire and all the law
yers of Wichita are trying to determine
whether that $3.50 was cribbed or lost, or
whether it belongs to the Swiss or the
widow or the boy. There is no question
about the $50. That was downright
gilt, but the peculiar position into which
the larger sum got at their hands looks
suspicious. The SWISS has resolved to
try the cash system in courtshlp NO

They have credit at the store, and it is

by the day they frequently hire cottages,
and the owner OF some Of these told me
he would rather have negroes than

more promptly. A country storekeeper
