Gen. Grant is reported to have said
recently, at Berlin, to an officer in the
German army detailed to his suit, that
he questioned very much whether in
modern war the saber or bayonet was of
use. "What mean," said the General,
els this: Anything that adds to the
burdens carried by the soldier is a weak
ness to the army. Every ounce he car
ries should tell in his efficiency. The bay
onet is heavy, and if it were removed, or
if its weight in food or ammunition were
added to its place, the army would be
stronger.

The rabbit pest in Austria had reached
enormous and destructive proportions.
They existed in myriad force, and not
only were the farm crops completely de-
stroyed in some districts, but the grass
was devoured, and the sheep pastures
rendered useless. Many devices to ex-
terminate them or to reduce their num-
Der failed At length company was
formed to trap them for the purpose of
dressing their flesh for canning. Hunt

tons of rabbit meat at last date had been
put up,and 5000 rabbits day were being
canned The heads are boiled down Tor
glue, and the skins preserved to sell to
hatters for fur. This wholesale slaugh-
ter must, in time, so reduce their number
that their ravages will cease to be a nui-
sance.

this alarming augmentation of the crowd
OF tramps in the city has begun from the

and alarmed squatters, and then wanderers

object. Some of them being questioned
answered that they expected tre uble in
the fall, working mems riots and other
disturbances, and they were on hand to
join In and profit by them.

The Roman Catholics in Canada seem
not to be in a state of mind to welcome
the Marquis of Lorne as Governor Gen.
eral. Heis scion of the House of Argyll,
one of the wealthiest in Scotland, and is
the son-in-law of the British Queen. The
Scotch are numerous and influential
class in Canada. Scotch loyalty will be
at the flood, and the noble pair will be
welcomed with bag-pipes and banners.
But the Tablet. a Roman Catholic peri
odical, puts in gentle reminder that
there are two classes in the Dominion,
the French and the Irish, that are more
numerous and powerful than the
Caledonians, though these TWO classes
have nothing in common either in SYM
pathy or religion. They are as far apart
as the poles, and in their feelings and
aspirations are ,antagonistic and historic

II VILLAGE BELL.

High up in the tower of the old moss.
covered church, which the winds and storms
of many years have beaten against, hangs
the village bell. How many times it has
been rung in merriment md rejoicing, in
sadpess and mourningi And yet it is as
faithful as if it had not stood sentinel over
the little country town for half a century.
Fifty years! How long and yet how
short! In that time the little ~churchyard
has been filed. The sleepers listened to the
sound of the old bell in the days that are
gone; and when they had passed away, it
tolled sadly and solemnly, as they were car
ried, lovingly, regretfulIy, through the old
gateway, and silently laid down to their
calm. sweet rest.
What a long, undisturbed rest il is. They
hear not the tones of the old bell, as it tells
that still another is being brought out to
sleep with them, under the green mounds
that mark their quiet resting place. Is it
sounding an invitation from those already
there, saying, with its hollow voice, Come
-rest-with-us?" Is 1t sending up to the
Great White Throne a deep-toned, agonized
prayer from those who stand weeping by
the open grave, duplicating, "God-help
