Canadian Pacific Railway.

The people of Vancouver's Island are
considerably agitated on account of the
general supposition that the Dominion
government has practically abandoned
the scheme of Canadian Pacific railway,
the western terminus of which had been
promised to the Island. On the occasion
of Lord Dufferin's recent visit to Vic
toria he was waited upon by deputa-
tion of citizens, who presented an ad-
dress setting forth the grievances of the
Province in the matter of the railroad
project. Lord Dufferin declined to re-
ceive the addresses, but referred the
petitioners to the Grown. A good deal
of feeling is manifested by the Islanders,
and there is open talk Of separation
from the Dominion unless the railroad
is built according to the original agree
ment. The Toronto Globe, speaking
with authority as ministerial organ,
denies that the government has aban-
doned the Pacific railroad project

The Grace Darling OF America.

Ida Lewis, the "Grace Darling of
America" continues to be an object OF
attraction, and daily she receives callers
at the little Lime Rock Lighthouse, To-
Gated in this harbor, near Fort Adams.
It is several years since she has saved
any lives, yet she is ever on the alert to
render assistance when needed. The
only occupants of the lighthouse now
besides herself are her sister and mother,
her father having died few years ago.
Not finding married life congenial to her
taste, Ida returned to her romantic
home, and is again known by the name
of "Lewis," instead of Wilson," and
it is not probable that she will again
leave her aged mother for the attrac-
tions of married life. Daily she may be
seen in the harbor managing her row.
boat-one of the prettiest in the place,
and one of her numerous presents for
her gallantry in saving life-and, of
course, her movements are watched by
the strangers upon being informed that
she is the young lady of whom they have
heard so often. A few days ago she
went to Rocky Point, and, like numer-
ous other ladies, engaged q boat and
went rowing. She thought no one knew
her, but in this she was mistaken, for
she had no sooner pushed off when the
excursionists at that place rushed to the
wharf to see her wonderful movements.
She remained in the boat for q long
time, and showed the curious spectators
what she could do with boat. Every
body was delighted, and she was repeat
edly applauded. 1t was one of the chief
attractions at that charming summer re-
sort on that day, and the lessee of the
place thought it would be a good idea
to have her visit that locality every day
for the benefit of the guests. Frequent
ly in this harbor she passes others en-
gagged in the same business, and by her
movements challenges the gentlemen or
lady occupants of the boats to a race.
They are usually beaten, and few days
ago she led by twenty yards another
row-boat manned by veteran i'll the
business, and who, in the collection of
ship news, is obliged to use his oars
every day. She is quite young, not be-
ing over thirty, and is considered very
fair. looking by those who are judges OF
such matters. She speaks of the many
lives she has saved with unusual mod
esty, and we have never heard of her
expressing herself otherwise than thank
full that it was her duty to risk her own
life for the benefit of others. She takes
the responsibility of having the light
house properly cared for, and the mariner
has yet to be found who can say that the
Lime Rock Lighthouse was not found
lighted every time he has entered or left
this port, and it is hoped the Govern
ment will continue to allow her to be its
keeper as long as she is willing to per-
form its onerous duties. Newport Let

Mortal Euemy to the Grasshopper.

The st. Paul (Minnesota) Pioneer
Press says: "There has heretofore been
some talk about parasite having been
found adhering to the grasshopper,
which it was fondly hoped would ulti-
mately exterminate that destructive in
sect. Early in the spring several par
ties forwarded to this office specimens
of the 'hoppers, underneath whose
wings could plainly be seen little bug,
which, it was alleged, was surely killing
the grasshopper. 1t is needless to say
that this hope was never realized, and
that no substantial relief was furnished
by any labors of the parasite upon the
live hopper. Now, however, we have
different story to tell, and there Is almost
positive evidence to prove that the rem
edy is ut hand in the shape of an egg
eating bug, which is surely and certainly
destroying all the eggs laid by the grass
hoppers this year, thus insIlring Min
nesota an exemption from the ravages of
this voracious and destructive insect
next year. This bug is of a deep red
color, about the size of flea, or rather
a louise, resembling the latter somewhat
IN Its shape and movements. Ex. Gov.
Stephen Miller has forwarded to Presi-
dent Drake, of the st. Paul and Sioux
City road, box full of earth which
originally contained a mass of grasshop-
per eggs, but which had been trans
formed by these parasites into guam
tity OF loose soil, mingled with the
remnants of discolored egg-shells, with
multitude of the fat little red bugs
