Sugar parties are all the rage here
now. Last Monday afternoon party
was invited out to the sugar house OF
Charles Rich, and we "Knight Of the
Black ART" happened to be one of the
favored ones to receive an invitation
to go. Not having an opportunity to
attend gathering OF that kind before
this season, we gladly accepted the
invitation. On arriving at the Hotel
De Sugar, we formed the acquaintance
Of mine host, Mr.. Chas. Rich, and
found him to be a jolly, good-natured,
old gentleman, who still enjoys to see
those around him contented and having
a pleasant time. Finally, the an
pouncement came that the sugar was
ready for trial, and the way that
that little company went for that
/ sugar, was caution TO unbelieVcrs
The party was select and varied, some
from Vermont, some from New
Hampshire and some from Wisconsin
We heard number Of compliments
for the excellent quality of Mr.. RS
sugar, and when the little party
started for home, after GOOD, sweet
social time, they all seemed glad thai
theyseamo. We hope to be the par
eipicnts Of another such gathering

EIOning With an Indian.

We take the following from a Hamilton
(Ontario) paper: Some days ago we
published a report of an elopement from
a farm house near Stratford, the parties
being q daughter of the proprietor and a
hired man who belongs to one OF the
Indian tribes living on reserve between
Caledonia and Brantford. The Indian
is said to be a fine, handsome, Swapping
fellow. We are informed that the
couple made their way to the house of
the Indians mother, having been mar
ried in due form in q Protestant Episco-
pal church somewhere on the Reserve.
There they were found by the angry
father and brother of the girl, and the
Indian, being arrested, was taken to and
locked up in Caledonia. While in limbo
the young husband mourned for his
absent wife, and pledged himself, in the
hearing of his auditors, to die, if neces-
sary, in her defence. But the relatives
of the girl, finding they could not sep
arate the pair, consented to the Indians
release, and the whole party went in for
a general iovial celebration on the
evening of the day upon which the
young couple we're thus reunited. The
young wife belongs to q very respectable
and wealthy family, named Murray, who
reside in the county of Perth. They are
members of the Roman Catholic Church.
The Indian, whose name has escaped
our memory, is a Protestant, and is
above the average of his tribe in intelli-
eence and industry.

CONGRESS...EXTRA SESSION.
House of Representatives,

House OF representatives.
Mr.. Knott moved to suspend the rules and
pass a bill aopropriatlng to each OF the surViv-
ing officers of the United States steamer Huron
1000; to each OF the surviving seamen 300,
and to the widows and children OF those who
had been lost an allowance equal to 3 year 8
pay Of their respective relatives. Mr.. Knott
said that the country should never forget the
relatives OF the gallant men who went down IN
the awful wreck Of the Huron. M. Garfield
suggested tha. toe bill should also make a pro-
vision for the case of Capt. Guthrie and his
crew, who were lost In en- !eayorine to save lie
from the wreck of tho Huron. After the bill
was 30 amended it was unauimously passed..
The House concrrred in the Senate resolu-
ton declaring it to be tho judgment OF the two
Houses that the special session expired at IL NJ.
MIR. Knapp moved to suspend the rules and
adopt a resolution declaring that the President,
by refusing the use Of the army in support OF
the pretended governments in the States OF
South Carolina and Louisiana, and thereby &C
cording their people the right OF local self-goV-
eminent in accordance with the constitution,
has faithfully performed his duty in that be.

confidence OF the american people. The yeas

iournment Of the special session.

A Western Steamboat Calamity.

The steamer Lotus, with a cargo of
1871 bales of cotton and 525 sacks Of
cotton seed, from Red River for New
Orleans, having reached a point oppo-
site Waterloo, was discovered, by the
engineer, to be on fire in the gangway,
at the aft end OF the boilers. An alarm
was immediately given to the pilot, who
headed the boat to shore ; but, so rapid
was the progress of the flames, that the
lower deck was enveloped, the steam
pipe burst, and the boat becoming un-
manageable swung around in the middle
of the river. The passengers and crew
were forced to jump into the river to
escape burning. The stage-planks and
iackstaf we're thrown overheard, and
were the means of saving many lives,
The steamboat Willie was fortunately
within sight coming up the river. A
whistle, as a signal for help, was blown
by the Lotus, which was promptly re-
sponded to. Had it not been for this
circumstance the clerk thinks few per-
sons would have been saved. The wealth
or was extremely cold. and the Willie
preserved the lives OF many who, having
escaped being burned, were in imminent
danger Of being frozen or drowned. The
cook was burned to death while holding
to the stern of the boat. Peter Seagreen,
a deck hand, was also burned to death,
and Henry Seper, the chambermaid,
and eight roustabouts were drowned.
There we're fifteen passengers, not one
of whom was lost, though Mrs. Massey,
of New Orleans, while escaping through
a window over the wheel, was badly out
and bruised. The books, papers, money
and United States mail were all de-
strsyed, also the entire baggage and
clothing of passengers and crew. Capt.
Daniels was severely scorched, as were
most of the saved. The clerk, Mr..
Devinney and several others we're res
cued by means of life boatsAthrown

Horrible Affair at q ReformatOry.

An English paper says: We are in
formed that the most horrible discoveries
have been made in the R~eformatory for
Native Boys, which is situated on a hill
about nine miles from Kingston in the
Island of Jamaica. Some time ago,
under the governorship Of Sir William
Grey, a clergyman was appointed super
intendent of the r~eformatory, with a
salary of 9400 a year, beside q house
and other perquisites. But these appear
not to have been sufficient for the rev.
erened gentleman, who applied the food
allotted for the four hundred poor boys
under his charge to ~fattening pigs for the
market. Meanwhile the little wretches
were starved and growing desperate
they actually fought with the pigs for
the food thrown to them. The miserable
creatures were neglected in every posi-
BILE way. A nasty insect, called a tick,
we'll known to every traveller in the
tropics, burrowed into their feet, and, as
the doctor had to look after his private
patients, the wounds, which if examined
in time would have been trifing, became
so serious that amputation of toes or
feet were necessary in no less than eighty
cases. Starved and neglected, the lads
became unruly. The offenders were
then shackled together in pairs and on
signed to the cells, where some were
forgotten for three days and left without
food or drink. All this at last came to
light by mere accident. The boys were
entrusted with knives to cut down some
guinea grass outside, in charge of sne
warder only; they naturally used their
liberty to satisfy the cravings OF hunger
by plundering the neighboring gardens.
The owners did not dare to interfere,
but reported the matter to the governor.
This led to investigation and reform,
andbwe understand that Lord Carnarvon
has, in a strongly worded despatch, de-
nouncad this horrible affair as o disgrace
to the colony and to the whole govern
ment.

Bestty,s Celebrated Pianos and Organs.
,We have been informed by good authority
that the sales Of the celebrated pianos and Or.
Qans of Mr.. Daniel E. Beatty, OF Warrington,
n. j., for the last thirty days, was by far the
largest ever before made since he commenced
business E; he will no doubt double his already
immense business during the holiday season,
as Christmas and New Years gifts. We don't
wonder at his immense business, as he Is offer
ing great inducements during the holiday sea-
son. For instance, we see by his circular he is
offering to sell a brand new 1910 cabinet parlor
organ for only S65; magnificent extra fine rose
wood pianos, retail price $3.50, for only 9175.
he also sends them on half-month test trial,
~refunding money and pays freight charges both
ways if In any way unsatisfactory. This GER
tainly is a very fair offer Mr.. Beatty is now
making. We certainly advise our readers who
may wish q frst-class piano or organ for .
holiday gift, to address him at Washington, N.
j., at once, for bis twenty-four page illustrated
newspaper and his new confidential circular to
the trade, giving full information all about the
piano and organ war. Both sent free to any
address.

AdYice Worth Reading.

It is easier to be a good business man
than q poor one. Half the energy dis
played in keeping ahead that is required
to catch up when behind will saw credit,
give more time to business, and add to
fheasscS5ur 5~ugugetutirus. iEeSr york.
ise to meet q man, or do a certain thing
at a certain moment, be ready at the
appointed time. If you go out on bust
ness, attend promptly to the matter in
hand, and then IS promptly go AHEAD on
your own business. Do not..stop to tell
stories in business hours. If you have a
place of business, be found there when
wanted. No man can get rich by sitting
around stores and saloons. If you have
to labor for a living, remember that one
hour in the morning is better than two
at night. If you employ others, be on
hand to see that they attend to their
duties, and to direct with regularity,
promptness and liberality. Do not
NEEDLE with any business you know
nothing of. Time is money. Never
use quick words, or allow yourself to
make hasty or ungentlemanly remarks
to those in your employ, for to do 80
lessons their respect for you and your
influence over them. Help yourself and
others will help you. Be faithful over
interests confded to your keeping, and
in all good time your responsibilities
will be increased. Do not be in too
great haste to get rich. Do not build
until you have arranged and laid a good
foundation. Do not-as you hope to
work for success-spend time in idle
ness. If your time is your own, bust
ness will suffer if you do ; if it is given
to another for pay, it belongs to him, and
you have no more right to steal it than
you have money. Be obliging. Strive to
avoid harsh words and personalities. Do
not kick every stone in the path !; many
miles can be made in a day by going
steadily on. Pay as you go. A man Of
honor respects his word as he does his
bond. Ask but never beg. Help others
when you are able ; but never give
when you can not afford 10, simply be-
cause it is fashionable. Learn to say
"no." No necessity for swapping it
out !; but say it firmly and respectfully.
Have but few confdants, and the fewer
the better. Use your own brains rather
than those of others. Learn to think
and act fer yourself. Be vigilant.
Keep ahead rather than behind the times.
