The Princess Louise in Danger.
Toronto Globe

On the Metapedia river, on Wednes-
day evening of last week, the Princess
and the Duke of Argyll were both in
the same canoe, which was manned by
two Indians. While crossing the river
at point where there is some ex-
tremely rapid and turbulent water, the
canoe, by the force of the current, was
dashed against quantity of logs that
had iammed Just below. The shock Of
the conclusion was not very great, how
ever, thanks to the efforts OF the indi-
ans; but rs the canoe suddenly swung
around, log, which seems to have been
projecting out from the jam, struck one
of the men on the breast and threw him
against the side Of the boat In an in
slant more all would have been in the
river had not the Indian, with great
presence of mind, leaped head fore
most into the water. In doing so his
foot caught in trout rod which had
been lying lengthwise in the bottom OF
the canoe, but fortunately it was of a
slight nature and readily broke, thus al
lowing the man to clear himself from
the craft. He was, Of course, immedi-
ately res cued. Although ii was such a
narrow escape, yet the figure cut by the
noble red man, as he rather ungrace-
fully went over the side, excited the risi-
bilities of the Princess and the Duke.
and peal of merry laughter greeted
the dusky hero As he was hauled on
board. 1t is needless to say that tn cir
fishing was over for that afternoon.

Mr.. Hunters Letter.

What will the Agitators say now? Mr..
Treasurer HUNTER comes out unequiyocally
for the MCCULLoCH settlement. His letter
appears in another column. He has been
in favor OF the bill from the beginning, and
surprised that MALONE Il Co. did not claim
it as their work. Will Mr.. HUNTERS name
hereafter be quoted upon every stump by
the AgitatorS?
Not an officer IN the Capitol is left to the
Agitators. The Governor, the Lieutenant
Governor, the Attorney-G General. the SUI
perlntendent OF Public Instruction, the
Auditor, the Second Auditor, and, last but
not least, the Treasurer, are oil for peace,
unity, and concord, and believe that these
may be obtained through the medium of the
McCULLoCH bill. Thank heaven for honest
officials.
Mr.. HUNTERS letter will repay the reader
for its perusal. he takes statesmanlike
view OF the questions involved. He in.
dulges in some reflections which We com.
mend to the; attention Of those who have
made so much OF his letter Of last year. \
We need not add that there are some
parts Of DIR. HUNTERS letter which we dc
not endorse. He seems to have favored
another scheme; yet he is candid enoug!
10 admit that the McCULLocH bill Is better
mode OF readiustment.
