STARVED TO DEATH.

IN last weeks Mercury we chronicled the
Berry Greek, aged respectively 6 and years,
having strayed from home the previous Mon
day and become lost in the mountains, also
the failure Of numerous parties to find them.
After going to press Thursday evening the
news reached Us that the boys had been found
on Middle Fork, near Union Bar. P. Me
Callan, an uncle Of the children, participated
in the hunt, and gives us the following partic-
Mrs. McCallan told Johnnie and Willie to
go after the cows and bring them home.
Some of the animals were in sight at the time
1t was pleasant day, and the boys removed
distance from the house. AS they strolIed
along through the timber, which in that vi
cinity is principally composed of dwarf pines
and underbrush, they, child-like, stopped
here and there to gather wild flowers, and in
SO doing neglected to observe in what direc-
ton they were wandering, and failed TO real
ize that night was roaching. AS the even
ing shadows began to disappear the boys
threw away their nosegays and started, rs
they supposed, toward home, but the truth
was they took a directly opposite course, and
when night came on they laid down beneath
! large oak tree, the wide spreading branches
Of which afforded them protection from the
-ain storm that occurred before morning.
At that time they were only about a mile and |
4 half from home. Next morning tuesday |
hey resumed their ramblngs, and camped |

hight. Nothing in the shape of food had |
passed their lips since Monday noon, aperiod of
fifty four hours, and it was not matter of |
surprise that Johnny found Willie dead when
waking Thursday morning. Johnny was
becoming exhausted himself, but he pressed |

noon, when he was ssen by Messrs. joe
Lynch and VIM. Moore, who hallooed at him.
He heard them and stopped. his haggard face
smiling joyously as the gentleman approached.
In response to an inquiry as to the wher
abouts of his brother, he replied, Hes

he knew Willie was dead. "Because his
arms are stiff, his legs are stiff, and there are
flies in his eyes," replied Johnnie. Being
guided the gentlemen to the spot, about
mile up the stream, where the body lay. APP
pearances indicated delirium prior to death,
the sand being scratched up in heaps where
the sufferer had probably ctutched for food
The dead and living were conveyed to the
residence of Mr.. McCallan. The body of
the deceased boy was brought to this city
Saturday and buried. The survivor ia slow
ly recovering from the effects Of his terrible
experience. Poor Willie! Only six years
old. Starving to death within eight miles of
home. How weary the little feet must have
been. What aches and pains must have
racked that little body. How longngly the
little heart must have yearned for home, and
the little arms to encircle "mothers" neck
again. No one near to soOthe. No last fare
well kiss from lips tender aud true. No gen
tie hand to stroke the little locks, or fan the
feyerish brow. No sighing save that Of the
wind, the little spirit winged its way
toward realms above, where the "little ones
never get lost. Such a scene of suffering,
and such death! Pen cannot picture it nor
words express the sympathy we feel for the
bereaved parents. -OropiIle Mercury.

Sir Leonard Tilley, the Finance Min
lister OF the Dominion, spent part of last
week in visiting the manufacturing estab-
lshments OF Western Ontario, with view
tojudge of the effect of the new protective
tariff. He was entertained at large ban
quet in the city OF Guelph and made long
and rather jubilant speech extolling the
benefits of the new national policy"
With the craft of O politician he
claimed for the new government all the
credit of the recent revival of prosperity.
although it is due in fact to the abundant
crops of the last season and the large ex-
port demand-to the same causes, in fact.
as the business revival in the United States
We do not think of attributing our prosper
ity 20 our protective tariff, tor We had the
same protective tariff during our long years
of depression. The Canadian tariff was
passed only last February, and it's effects,
for good or for evil, can be but
partially developed in so short time BY
fortunate coincidence a magnificent
harvest and large foreign demand followed
the enactment of the tariff law, and tho
Finance Minister exclaims, 'Behold the
benefcence of protection r Of course the
Canadian manufacturers share this pros
perity, for the prices which the farmers
receive for their products enable them to
make liberal purchases. But if, next year,
the season should be unpropitious and the
crops scanty, the farmers, having little to
sell, will complain bitterly of the high
prices they will be compelled to pay for
protected goods, and the manufacturers
will find great falling off in their sales.
The Canadian market is not large enough
for manufacturing industry to flourish.
Manufactures must be on an extensive
scale if their products are to be cheap,
since small establishments cannot practice
the economies of large ones. Canada as q
manufacturing country will be what New
England would be if shut out from the
other markets of the United States.

Any combination OF. the great steamship
companies made to protect their interests
in the harbor against what they may deem
excessive charges or an improperly exer-
cised authority is power which we APP
prehend the pilots will find 1t difficult to
resist. It must he remembered that all our
pilot laws are State laws, and that the au-
thority of the State over this subject stands
only upon sufferance-may be all brushed
away any day by a law of Congress. Sooner
or later the appeal of a great foreign
commerce to be freed from vexa-
tious local laws and to have its
rights protected by national authority is
sure to make itself felt at Washington.
For many years these same companies sub
mitted quietly to the Board Of Emigration-
State authority which imposed upon them
regular head money tax for the emigrants
they landed here. An appeal to the Supreme
Court Of the United States did away with
that particular case of State imposition

in order that this money may be laid out
in the employment of laborers in ''dis-
tressed DISTRICTS" device not unknown
to Tammany Hall, which in its palmy days
could put many thousand laborers on
the payroll for few weeks before
election day. Public money, it is further
reported, will be supplied to assist emigra-

all times, but the appearances are that the
demands OF the Irish people have reached
a higher point than either of these remedies

until they are beyond the recognition of
English statesmen. Beaconsfield discourses
the smooth commonplaces of the "blarney"

an "imaginative race" of people, regrets
that they are not as contented and
submissive as the English people are, and
assures them that if they really come to
the starvation point England will always
spare them q copper and crust for
charity's sake and at the same time the
Irish demand neither crust nor q copper,
but such q revision Of the relation of the
people to the law as will abolish privileged
classes. AS this strikes at the British con-
stitution it reaches too far, but the de-

A Defence Of Mr.. rroude.

correspondent who signs himself ENG
lishman," and says he has lately arrived in
the country, comes to the rescue of Mr..
Froude against his American critics. He
confdingly believes in the truth of all Mr.
Froude's representations on the excellent
ground that che would not imperil his rep
utation for historical accuracy by any ILL
Judged assertions" This "Englishman"
has probably read the remarkable series of
articles in the Nineteenth Century by Mr.
Freeman, the eminent historian, exposing
in detail the blunders which swarm in one
of Mr.. Froude's recent works. An Eng
lishman who was in his own country while
Mr. Freeman was publishing those tren-
chant and amusing criticisms is never
likely to have his confidence in Mr.. Froude's
accuracy shaken, for it is of that generous
and faithful description on which evidence
can make no impression.
The "Englishman" who so readily swal-
lows oil Mr.. Froude tells him is seriously
alarmed for the safety of our free institu-
tions, imperilled as they are by ga body of
individuals living in your midst while they
hate your form of government, refuse to
exercise the right of suffrage, hold sedu-
lously aloof from politics and from inter-
course and intermarriago with Anglo-Ameri-
cans, and proclaim at oil times their de-
testation of republican institutions" The
Englishman seems to have read Mr..
Froudes impetuous essay with the same
kind of cautious attention which Mr..
Froude himself has bestowed on the facts OF
our history. The disciple is worthy OF
his master. But he is more considernte
than Mr. Froude, since he points out a
remedy and does not abandon us to de-
spair. He suggests that we treat the dam
gerous Irish as we treat the less dangerous
Indians, by establishing an Irish bureau
on the model of the Indian Bureau, and
transporting the turbulent Irish and their
priests to different reservations. If the
agents are as skiliully selected as the Ind
ian agents the "Englishman" thinks the
Irish would soon be in the way toward
