The muskets furnished to the Indians
in trade by the Hudson Bay company are of
the old flint lock pattern, the barrels being 30
thin that the owners are often seen straight
ening them across their knees. Perhaps this
is one reason why the company which rules
the greater area OF British Americs has no
trouble with its Indians.

JOHN JONES AND 1,
DY CHARLES q. AMEs.

We had tiff: "John Jones'" said ],
"You shouldn't leave your COW at large !"
"You mend your fence !" was his Ioply;
And 40 ran charge and counter-charRe.
A triiliDg thing the COW had cropped
Some blades Of grass, some heads OF grain
And yet for this friend dropped
And wrought for both lasting pain
| knew that / had played the fool
Yet thrust my better thought aside,
Aud wnen my blood had time to cool,
Became greater fool through pride.
Upon two houses a shadow safe;
Two cordial wives grew shy and cool
Two broods of children learned TO hate,
Two parties grew in church and school.
John Jones's pew was next to mine;
What pleasant greetings passed between
Az sacred az the bread and wine
Had our communing friendship been.
Oft had our voices swelled the song;
OFT bad we bowed in silent prayer,
And shared the worship of the throng
Who sat in heavenly places there.
But how shall souls in exile sing
The Lords sweet song2 The holy notes
OF fellowship, and Joy, and rcace,.
And pardon, stuck in both our thrOats'
Some lessoned relish for all good,
Made lie for both to deaden down
And nature darkened to her mood,
And answered back our settled frown.
One summer eve | sat and smoked;
Good Doctor Deane came riding BY

And burned, like tow, the sOphist lies;

stumbled DER the threshold where
My shadow had not passed for years;
felt a shudder in the hand

When he no more the pulse could feel,
saw the doctor turn away;
Some mighty impulse made me kneel
Beside the bed as II to play.
Yet not the Makers name I called
As one who plunges meath the wave,
A swimmer strong and unappalled,
Intent drowning life to save;
SO all my souls up-gatherei dowers,
In anguish of desire intense,
Sent that departing one cry
That leaped the abyss Of broken sense.
Back to the dim eye came ray,
Der the white face FAINT smile BhODe;
felt, IA twere q spirits touch,
The stiifened fingers press my own.
o. resurrection power of God,
Which wrought that miracle of pain
From buried hearts tore of the shroud,
Aud made dear friendship live again.
Beside one grave two households stood
And, weeping, heard the pastor say,
"That out Of Geath He bringeth life,
And out of darkness cometh day..
Was / chief mourner in the train?
All, who could guess Of all the throng,
The strange, sweet comfort in the pain
OF one who mOurns forgiven wrong"

In spite of the prejudice which exists
against suet butter, it is fact that the
manufacture has of late made great pro-
grees and the quantity of the material
now consumed is certainly now larger
than ever before. There is large fac
tory IN Hamilton, Canada, from which
some 1000 lbs. per week OF imitation
butter are shipped to all parts OF the
world. Another and still larger estab-
lisbment in Boston, Mass, turns out a
very great product. In many cases, II
is said, this butter finds its way directly
to the butter producing districts OF New
York and New Jersey, and then is sent
to market as genuine spring butter. 1t
is certain that immense quantities OF
the oleomargarin are sold by dealers as
true butter, and that the profits OF the
trade are very large. We see it noted
in daily contemporary that the suet
compound is in use in some OF the prln'
cipal hotel and restaurants in this city,
and that the frequenters of these places
have as vet not discovered the fact. We
do not pretend to the akill of the pro-
fessional butter faster; but we have no
officially in instantly recognizing the
artificial compound. We may add that,
not long ago, we discovered it on the
table of one of our New York hot Is
and after satisfying ourselves rs to its
identity, we taxed the proprietor with
its use. He strenuously denied the
charge but at a subsequent meal, we
found the OK butter" Gas the Harvard
students have named it) replaced by
"cow butter"
We do not mean to say that the oleo
margarin is unsavory or unwholesome
On the contrary, it is made with the
utmost nicely from the cleanest OF ma
terials. Neither is it unpleasant in any
marked degree to the palate, nor to tht
stomach. 1t certainly is infinitely pet
ter than the abomination sold by grocers
md The generic name of cooking
b,,tter" Still most persons have
prejudice against suet butter, and tha'
feeling, so far from being weakened,
has been strengthened by the knoWi,
edge that the reprehensible practice OF
selling the imitation as the genuine l,
so widely practised. II the material
we're advertised and sold uniformly fol
what il is and on its merits, w
have no doubt but that the preiudic'
against it would in great measlir
sabside. For shipping to hot climates
it is, no doubt, far better than tho bu'
ter usually sent to southern ports.-

THE PARIS MUTUELS.
why They Were BRnished from Ill
-y Ere nch InrI.

Why They Were BHhtsheU from inc
French Turf.
At the recent Longchamps races, the
gamblers were out in great force, but
there were no Paris mutuel machines,
as they have been abolished from the
course entirely for the second time
the first by order of the emperor and
latterly by the republican project of
police. Cheating had been detected by
the police in the working of these
machines, and the public had been
swindled most egregiously, hence their
Punishment not only from the course,
but to the other side of the boundary
lines of France. One way of cheating,
it is said, was by altering the numbers
in the machine on particular horse at
The moment of his winning 80 rs to
make more tickets sold on that particu-
lar horse than had been indicated before
the start, while another way was by
getting in league with the trainers and
Jockeys, getting them to throw races,
and by purchasing all the ti;kets, or
nearly all, on the horse that had to win,
the public were not only robbed OF all
the money they bet on the other horses
in the race, but, worse than all, the
owners of the race horses were sold and
beaten by rascally set of scamps who
had thus bought up the jockeys and
trainers. Villanies of this kind, it IL
reported here, were practiced by GER
tain gambler in the United States last
year, who was not n worker or owner OF
the Paris mutuels, but great better on
races. He bribed the jockeys to throw
races, and by this fellows tricks many
good horse was beaten when he should
have won his races. | mention this
fact, rs many people over here seem to
know something of the manner in which
gambling is conducted in America. 1t
is said also by the police here that many
of the operators of the Paris mutuel
machines in France became owners OF
race horses themselves, or obtained
control of them through bribery, and
were thus enabled to dofraud the hackers
of horses opposed to those in the in
terest of the mutuel machines. When
this villainy was detected by the police
here, the books of the gamblers were
seized, as we'll as the cash i'll hand, and
they scattered the villains from their
haunts, to find other instruments than
the Paris mutuels to do their swindling
with. But for these exposures the
Paris mutuels would be still in opera
tion.
