Workingmen's Festival.

1t is proposed to have workingmen's fes-
tiyal on the fair grounds at st. Johnsbury at
some convenient time between now and fair
time. Our farmers and other laborng men
are not enough in the habit of meeting to-
gether in social interview, and for the discus.
sion of matters pertaining to the welfare of
working classes, This meeting is designed
to bring them together for these purposes and
for talking up some business matters, There
will be an address FROM some person from
abroad and perhaps toasts with good, common
sense talk by takers about home. Music
and dinner will come in in their proper places
Of course. Although this is talked Of aud
will probably be gotten up by the members
of Green Mountain Grange No. l, because
they have the machinery for doing il, yet it
is not to be in any sense a grangers' picnic
any more than auybody's else. Every body
will be invited to come and help make it u
general good time.

Sherbrooke, P. @.

a ride Of 81 miles northerly from st.
.Johnsbury by rail brings one to the old Ga
madam town of SherbrooKe, a quaint, queer old
town indeed. Sherbrooke is place of about
1000 inhabitants, having increased in poPu-
latian l6p per cent during the past year. The
people are mixture of French English,
Canadians and Yankees, and it is difficult to
tell which you meet the most Of. The arch
itecture is about as much mixed as the peo-
pie; many buildings being in good style
while others ars decidedly antique. The
appearance of the place is improving all the
time as new buildings are being erected
quite rapidly, this year even. Business
seems to be very good there although they
complain of its being dull. They have a
large amount of manufacturing which is the
life Of any place. A wooden mill recently
built, an extensive concern to appearances
gives employment to 400 operatives. Then
there is machine shop which does large
business, and sewing machine nutactory
where the Banner and the Climax are made.
These machines are sold for S35 to S45 and
are claimed to be equal to machines sold 10
the States for sos to sS5. There are many
other factories that we had no time to notice.
A trip to Sherbrooke is a pleasant one TO
take aud day may well be spent 10 strolling
about the town and observing the customs OF
the people who, it they are IN pursuit OF
filthy lucre, do not seem to be outstripping
each other in race for the latest fashions.

The Toronto Globe says of the financial
outlook in the Dominion that while the time
is one of striugoncy aud pressure there is
nothing to justify panic or generally speaking,
uneasiness. The banks are acting with
great caution and prudence and disGouraging
any speculative tendepcios, but they afford
moderate facilities for legitimate business
There has been no serious fall in the value
Of real estate, and ordinary business, though
dull, is not by any means at standstill.
Meantime the season is propitious. Recent
crop reports give prospects of very fair
average harvest and farmers are still hold
ing largely the products Of last years crop.
The progress of very extensive public works
under government auspices comes in oppor-
timely to provide labor for large numbers Of
people.

One of Boston's best known merchants,
noted for his shrewdness and penetration,
had test case, recently, and came off vic.
torious. As it is an illustration of this million
aires penetration in great business affairs,
we give the story here;
1t appears that the merchant wanted an.
other gardener upon his country estate, near
Boston, and an individual presented himself
for that office.
I" Understand the business2"
Eyes been in it for years"
Whom had he lived with last ? The ap-
plicant mentioned gentleman the merchant
was well acquainted with stated that he
lett for no fault, but that his former employ
err was going to Europe, had sold his estate,
aud had no further use for him.
"What wages do you expect2"
Eighteen dollars a month"
This was astouishingly low for such a
promising looking, sober man; aud the
shrewd business man rubbed his chin thought.
fully aud reflected that it was bargain lot
But wasn't there something wrong about
it2' His habitual business caution, even in
this comparatively ,riaing negotiation, did moi
forsake him.
"Call tomorrow at this time, and | will
have seen Mr.. --, your former employ

The gardener turned aud began to walk
slowly away. As he did so, he displayed
two patches on tho seat of his pantaloous be
peath the line Of his roundabout jacket.
"Hallo here Come back here" called
the merchant. "You needn't apply to.mor'
row. see l shan't want you"
The astonished applicant stammered out
something about his knowledge of gardening
aud good character, but was cut short by THU
practical observer;
Don't want you, sir. The patches OIL
your breeches are on the wrong side. A

sons in the good that can be accomplished.
