young Canadian emigrAnts numbering
400 passed through here yesterday on
their way TO Manitoba, where they mean
to settle. There Ii. great competition be-
tween railroad and steamboat men foI
the business Of transporting %emigrants

gagged In looking up the e%migrants and
making them offers.

YESTERDAY a strange man came into
our new Ofice and spat on the floor. Nine
faithful picktts stationed at portfolios
fred into him simultaneously from nine
points Of the compass, and before he had
time 10 tall,four reporters whirled around
in their chairs and emptied seven barrels
apiece into him. We touched a secret
spring IN the wall; the skY-light slid open;
a pair Of emmense iron hands came
clanking down, seized the red remains,
aeW Wilh'th lei TO the root, and hurled
them forty miles into the next county
on CITY Derrick.

An Englishnian went into a church
in Rome the other day, and as a service
was going on he sat quietly down, plac-
ing his hat on the ground beside him.
After waiting little while, and as there
seemed no immediate prospect of the
ceremony coming to an end, he thought
he would 60, and reached for his hat,
but was stopped by an unseen arm
which grasped him from behind. Think
ing that probably some custodian of the
church wished him to remain till the
conclusion of the service he again
waited.
Presently he again thought Of going,
again reached for his hat, and again the
unseen arm firmly prevented him. Con-
vinced that the service was really some
important one which his leaving would
disturb, the Englishman again waited
for about a quarter of an hour. At the
expiration of that time he determined
to depart, in spite of etiquette. So he
reached for his hat. Again the hand
grasped him, but as he determinedly
resisted his detaining efforts a voice be-
hind him exclaimed in English: 81
beg your pardon, but this is my hat you
are taking" And this was fact. Our
hero had been detained all this time
because each time he wished to 90 he
had reached i'm mistake for the hat of
another stranger, placed in close prox
unity to his own.

An Episode OF the War of 1879.

The English papers announce the
death of an officer whose exploit in the
Eastern ocean recalls nearly forgotten
occurrence of the war of 1872, and one
not very creditable to the humanity OF
one of our naval commanders, and per-
haps not TO the good judgment Of his
English adversary. On the Both OF
June, 1915, several months after peace
had been declared, the United States
corvette, Peacock, twenty-five guns,
commanded by Captain Warrington.
encountered the East India Company's
brig, Nautilus, fourteen guns, COM
manded by Lieutenant Charles Boyce.
As Lieutenant Boyce had received in
telligence that peace had been declared
he did not attempt to shun his more
powerful opponent, but sent boat to
inform Captain Warrington of the con-
clusion of peace. The only reply he got
was an order to strike his flag. This he
refused to do, thinking he would dis
honor his country by compliance.
Whereupon the Peacock fired a broad
side, killing six men and wounding
eight others. Lieutenant Boyce was
struck by a grapeshot in his hip, and
his right knee and thigh bone were
shattered by thirty-two pound shot.
His first lieutenant, Mr.. Maysler, was
mortally wounded. Having thus vindi-
Gated the honor of his flag by losing
fourteen out of his crew OF forty men
Lieutenant Boyce surrendered. Captain
Warrington, however, released his prize
next day, the fact, which he should
have realized before uselessly spilling
blood, having penetrated his skull that
he had no right to hold it.
Strange to say, Lieutenant Boyce re-
covered from his fearful injuries, and
survived to the age of ninety one years,
dying at ST. Calais, Sarthe, in France,
on the 9TH of January last. He enjoyed
a liberal pension from the Indian ad-
ministration to the day of his death.

Striving to he an Actor

During theatrical trial in Philadel-
phia in 1865, brought by an actor named
Sherry, against the management of the
Chestnut Street Theatre, many amusing
incidents occurred. Ii was a hot day,
and the court room was crowded by
members of the dramatic profession.
The counsel for the plaintiff was Mr..
L. J. Worreil, formerly an actor, with
ponderous bass voice; the defence
was represented by Mr.. Lucas Hirst,
an eccentric gentleman with voice like
that of Stuart Robson, very high and
all squeak; and the 81 object" Of one,
and "we appeal" Of the other, never
failed to produce a most hearty laugh.
In fact, the entire trial was more of a
comedy than reality.
Among the many witnesses called to
sustain the actor was Mr.. Sam Hemple.
popular low comedian. After taking
the witness stand, the necessary oath,
and answering to the questions. "Your
name!" "Your profession ?" Sam spoke
out boldly, can actor"
In an Instant, as if by magic, from
among knot of actors the words,
Perjury! perjury!" was uttered with
so much emphasis that order had to be
called. This incident so disconnected
Hemple that it was with the greatest
difficulty he gave the balance of his
testimony.
The next witness called was Mr.. Ed
Tarr. Ed. walked up ard kissed the
book. "Your name?" "Your profess
sion ?" Tarr, not willing to he caught
as Hemple had been, and giving a sly
look at the party of actors spoke OUT
"Sir l am striving to be an actor"
This was too much. There was a
general roar, in which counsel, judge,
jury, and all Joined and it was several
minutes before order was resumed.
