EQUAL TO ruE OCCASION.

When Lord Liverpool was forming his
Ministry in 1922, hs thought 1t absolutely
necessary to have Canning at the Foreign
Office, although aware the appointment
would be obnoxious to George w. The
The Duke of Wellington undertook the
unpleasant task of communicating Lord
LiverpooPs determination, and went to
Brighton for that purpose. AS soon as the
Kind knew what was wanted of him, lie
broke out: "Arthur, it is impossible! I
said, on my honor as gentleman, lie
should never be one of my Ministers
again. am sure you will agree with me
that cannot do what l said on my honor
man would have been silenced, but the
great soldier, always equal to an emer-
gency, replied: Pardon me, Sir. but
don't agree with you at all. Your Majesty
is not gentleman" The bold assertion
startled the King, but the Duke went on:
'Your Majesty is not o gentleman, but the
Sovereign of England, with duties to your
people far above any to yourself, and these
duties render it imperative that you should
employ the abilities of Mr. Canning"
''Well, Arthur" said the King, drawing a
long breath. ''If I must, I must" AL
though he did not like being told he was
no gentleman, George ". had once at
least, while Regent, forgotten he was one.
That was when he flung glass of wine in
Col. Hamlyn's face, with: "Hamlyn, you
are blackguard !" The insulted officer
could not return the compliment without
committing something like treason; it was
out of the question to challenge the Prince,
while to let the insult pass unnoticed was
equally impossible. The Colonel filled Lis
glass and threw the contents in the face
of his neighbor, saying: "His Royal
Highness' toast; pass it on" "Hamlyn,
cried the Regent, you're capital fellow
Here's your health?" And they were fast
friends from that evening. - Chambers

SIAN G..

1t is lamentably easy to fall into the habit
of using slang phrases. You first Legin by
using mild terms, such as Good g'acious!"
Mercy sakes!" etc. Soon you require
Somethi' g stronger, and still stronger, till,
after using all the 'bywords," you are on
the brink of swearing, although, when you
first began, you had no idea of such a
thing. The habitual use of slang phrases
should be classed with intemperance, and
is generally found with it, as are also a
great many other vices. Boys quickly
form the habit of hearing their elders.
Even the babe just Earning to talk repeats

cratic party caused by the manner of
Johnston's nomination. Mr.. Varwig's
withdrawal does not in any manner
change the situation. If Johnston was
nominated by swindle no action can
now make that piece of work an honora-
BILE transaction. Carrick will beat Maley
for Coroner. The former is new man,
and popular so far as known, while the
latter has become hackneyed as a candi-
date, and is the reverse of popular. Be
sides this the Germans are indignant that
he was nominated where it was claimed a
German should have been put on, and
also because he did not support Stitch,
German, when nominated against him for
the same position two years ago. The
Volksfreund, the German Democratic
paper, is strongly against Maley, and has
from the first demanded that he be taken
from the ticket. For County Commits
sioner Hopper has made fair officer in
most respects, but there is opposition to
him even in his own party. Zumstein is
a strong candidate, and is very active.
The race for Commissioner will be close.
The above is the way the situation pre-
scnts itself to an unprejudiced observer
at this time. 1t may be changed by ex-
traordinary work or by marked inditler-
ence of any of the candidates But as
both parties and all the candidates are
likely to do their level best, there is no
great probability of important changes
between now and the election.

AN IMPOSSIBLE STORY.

They are telling now about man in
Dubuque who buried two dozen bottles of
whiskey in his cellar twenty-three years
ago, and forgot all about them, and
when they were accidentally dug up last
week, the whiskey was found to be superb.
How people will lie. The man may have
buried the whiskey in his cellar, but if he
forgot about it, it was because he was
struck by lightning or hanged the next
lay.-Detroh Free Press.

PRESS GANGS. q

1t is difficult to realize the enormous and
oppressive power which was possessed by
the press gangs century ago. Public
liberty has, indeed, made rapid progress
during the last hundred years. We read
in the Newcastle Chronicle of June 6, ITS:
Last night and this m orning there was the
hottest press on the River Thames that
there has been yet. Every ship was strip
ped of its hands. Even the mackerel boats
and fishing smaeks did not escape. This
pressing was naturally very injurious to
trade. On this particular occasion Goals

RUSSIAN BABIES.

Russian babies lead a mummy-lik ex-
istence until they are able to help them
selves. They are always swaddled, and
and rolled up tight in bandages, SO that
they may be conveniently put away with
out risk of getting themselves into mischief
or danger. On ent ring one of their
houses an enthusiastic traveller thinks he has
come upon some Pagan tribe, having their
idols and penates with the heads well
carved out and the rest of the body left in
block. He looks curiouSly at one laid upon
a shelf another hung to the wall on peg,
third swung over one of the main beams
of the roof, and rocked by the mother,
who has the cord looped over her foot.
"Why, that is child" cries the astonished
traveller, with feeling similar to that ex-
perienced on treading upon toad which
was supposed to be stone. "Why, what
else should it be ?" answsrs the mother
Having learned SO much in so short time,
the inquisitive traveller wishes to inform
himself about the habits of the creature;
but lis curiosity being somewhat damped
by the extreme dirt of the little figure, he
inquiries of the parent when it is washed.
"Washed!" shreked the terrified mother,
"washed - what, wash child? You
would kill it,"

The excitement following nominations
has pretty well died away and the situa-
tion is sufficiently settled to indicate
with some degree of accuracy the prob
able result. In the First District no one
has ever entertained serious thoughts of
Milton Sayler being defeated. Butter
worth will make vigorous fight and
will 80 canvass the district as to leave
himself stronger with his party and with
the people than ever before. In the Sec
ond District Governor Tom will be
elected. He is a strong candidate and
Goss is a weak one. The Second is a
close district and neither party can elect
weak candidate if the opponent be
strong. Goss, from present indications,
will run far behind his ticket. For Pro-
bate Judge, Matson has the inside track.
He has made good official and the bar
is largely for him. Besides he is very
popular man and is well known in all
parts of the county. Montgomery is
pretty strong financially, but not strong
enough under the circumstances to pull
through. The Democrats may elect one
of their candidates for Common Pleas
