CANADA flu finishes lis the latest SEN
sation, and a model one it is, too. 1t
consists of an elopement in high life,
and for once the sensitive public is not
treated wiah shooting, harsh words, &c.
So common in such affairs. Not even
an indignant husband appears in the
scene, so angelic are the people
living across the border. A Mrs.
McKensie, married woman of TWEEN
ty-four summers, who surrounded her..
self with snug, little family Of four
children in five years, of connubial
bliss, and the possessor of a cool mil
lion in her own right, eloped with an
Englishman, named Bridges, who
stands six feet two in his stocking feet.
Mrs. McKensie conceived a violent
liking for his burly form, and he in
turn become enamored with her for
tune, so, they decided to look up, in
diviaually aud collectively, some peace
ful nook in. the States where Mr..
Bridges could quietly get hold Of the
fortune. and Mrs. Mac. could enjoy the
society of her six feet two gentleman.
They fed to New York, but were pur-
sued by her father, father-in-law and
husband, the latter reluctantly making
one of the party. The pair eluded their
followers in New York and went to Phil
adelphia, where they were overtaken.
The matter was talked over land the next
day all returned to Montreal friends,
seemingly. The woman's friends claim
that she is not bad, but has only been
acting the fool" little. The hus.
band does not know what to think or
do in the ease, which shows what kind
of fellow he is. IF we must
have Opponents af:er this, we say let
Canada furnish them. The husband
behaves himself SO beautifully, and a
wife can run away from her home and
children there, and not be consid-
ered "bad" by her friends. III s

FERENEz DEAK.-The serious H..
ness of the great Hungarian statesman
Deak, was announced few days ago,
and now comes telegram from Buda
Pesth announcing that he was dying.
The Diet adjourned yesterday as tri-
butte of respect.
Ference Deak was born at Soltor.
October II, 1903. Of him it has
been truly said that he achieved for
Hungary by craftsmanship what Kos
seth tailed to achieve by force of arms.
A lawyer by profession he became a
member of the Diet forty four years
ago. When the war for national indie
pendence of Austria was inaugurated
by Kossuth, he retired to private life
He refused to take any part in public
affairs for more than ten years. He
was patriotic Hungarian, but not in
favor of attempting secession from
Austria. In 1861 he re-entered the
Diet, at Pesth, where he became at
once the acknowledged leader of the
assembly He did not accomplish
much, however, and that Diet was
soon dissolved. In 1865 another was
convoked but the Austro- Prussian war
prevented the accomplishment of any
thing until after peace had been re-
stored Then Deak and the Austrian
Prime Minister, Beust, succeeded in
efecting basis of union between
Austria and Hungary, which makes
the union equitsble. 1t was glorious
work, and placed him in the front rank
OF statesmen.

Mr. CANNON, Of Illinois, has intro

duced bill into Congress, providing
penalties for sending immoral or OBJ
scene literature through the mails
Such law, if RICHLY adhered to,
would take away large share of the
stock in trade Of the metropolitan
papers, and our law makers have such a
tender regard for the interests Of the
daily press, that it is quite likely this
bill will receive little attention at their
hands. Imagine what the daily paper
would be under such law. We
would not know how murders are COM
mitted and would be deprived of read
ing the murderer's confession, the end
ing of which almost invariably is, his
entire faith in the atoning blood of
Jesus Christ. We would be ignorant
OF the numerous seductions and rapes
which are occurring all over the coun-
try; we would not know whatingenious
methods thieves devise to open safes
or enter buildings; the machine the
dynamite fend constructed would be a
mystery to us, and posterity would re-
ceive no hints from his ingenuity.
We would know nothing about elope-
ments or scandals. aud divorces would
be comparatively unknown, if procured.
Jim Fisk aud Ralston with their mil
lions, would never have been heard of,
and the youth of the land would have
nothing to aspire to. Beecher would
be to US simply the preacher and writer.
We would not know that Tilton is in
the habit of hanging pictures in his
night dress, and Bessie Turner would
not be famous as an able bodied sleeper.
The a"ymu,ual friend and his wife
would notgive us a letter every morn
| ing with which to favor our coffee, and
every four corners would not be trying
to make itself a Brooklyn. None of
us would be tempted to apply for a
Revenue, position in the Milwaukee,
district: for we would not know that
such officers have been receiving from
$500 to $1,000 per month from the
distillers for, performing the light
manual labor of turning their backs at
convenient time. Further, we would
not have positive knowledge that Cana
da is good place TO live in, after hav-
ing faithfully served the government.
All these benefits and many we have not
mentioned would be taken from us il
