BILL hlNG makes the following "correc-
ton" in his newspaper:
The statement which has been made in seye-
raj local papers to the effect that the Minnesota
agricultural and Mechanical Association de-
sired and had proposed to unite with the State
Agricultural Society in holding a union fair
next fall, is without the slightest foundation.
No such proposition has ever been made, or
received, and no such proposition will ever be
made or entertained by the Minneapolis assc-
citation. The union for fair purposes, as re-
Gently proposed, is another thing entirely.
In other words, the distinguished William
and Charley demand the absolute abolition
Of the State Society, and invite St. Paul to
abandon that organization and unite in fair
for the bankrupt showmen at Minneapolis.
When st. Paul wishes TO unite with the
DomiI ion OF Canada it will do so direct. in
stead of by proxy.

ENGLAND THRIFT AND ITS RESULTS.
In a letter from Block Island to bis

Henry Wattcrson writes as follows OF
: the New Englandcrs:

the excursions which have made from
this lovely little island to points of note
and interest along the New England
coast. knew the people to be we'll to
do, but never before have been 80
struck by the vast aggregation Of wealth.
New England is 900 years old. Its peo-
pie were not, perhaps, originally more
thrifty than the early settlers Of Nir-
Ginia and the Calolinas. But they hap
pened to pick Il hard soil, and to en-
counter long winters. They were
obliged to work and to store up. Thus
the habits of labor aud the process Of
accumulation began. These have con-
tinued ever since. On the Southern sea-
board short winters and an easy soil
produced the opposite results and the
negro greatly assisted them. Slavery
being gone, md time having worn the
soil Of the South down to Il sort OF
equality with that OF New England, may
we hope that the newly developed nee

Opiophagy, otherwise called opium

Opiophasy, otherwise called opium
eating, has grown to formidable pro-
portions in the United States. In 1867,
when our population was thirty seven
millions, the amount of opium imported
was 10000 pounds in 1876, with an in
crease OF but seven millions ia the
population, the Importation had risen
to 100000 pongaa. :Fhus. during these
ten Yeas, while the population has in
creased only about twenty per cent. the
importation of opium had considerably
more than doubled. Much OF il is used
for medical purposes, but Investigation
has shown that IAe larger proportion OF
it is consumed by opium eaters. 1t is
hardly credible. though it is given on
doctors authority, that in the city of
indianapolis there arc nearly 800 of
these, who made away with nine hun
dred pounds of the drug last Year. III
the State OF Michigan statistics on the
subject have l,ven furnished by ninety
physicians; they reported 1,313 lahituaI
users OF opium, or an average OF l.:
cases within the observation OF each OF
these physiciaHa. Every evil is traced
to the hard times, and SO is tho increase
III the use OF opium, which is q drug
that makes peapse temporarily negli-

Candidates in our parish, from all

but as will be seen from the local papers,
very few of them have announced, and
made their bow to the public through
the medium of the press. We suppose
they are still hunting" not with dog
and gun, as the sportsman hunts for fur
and feather, nor with the gun alone as
he hunts for deer; but with that great
capturer'of game known as John Bar

like to pay for it. Those who do not
give ought not to receive and we

distanced in the race and come to grief
before the nominating convention or on
election day.
