claim to know say that the experiment
of the past three months will eventually
terminate in another bridge across the
river at or near Montreal.
In one of Sir John A. McDonald's fa-
nous speeches, he made use of the ex-
preston that he intended to keep
Canada for the Canadians which was
one of the objects of the recently adopt
ed national policy. Although Sir John
may be able to keep Canada for the
Canadians, he evidently finds some diff
Guilty in keeping the Canadians for Can
ada. In one small village in Missisquoi
county. western ticket agent sold over
thousand dollars worth of tickets for
the western states in the month of
March, and in one day this month sold
five hundred dollars worth more. Every
train which leaves Canada bears heavy
load of Canadians going to the States to
seek employment. The working people
were told that the Protection" would
give them employment and increase
their wages. The result SO far has been
to fll.the pockets of few wealthy cap
italists, raise the price of every thing
which the poor man has to buy, forcing
him to leave Canada in order to find
employment which will pay him wages
sufficient to keep his family from star.
vation Until there is a change Cana.
da's outlook is certainly gloomy one.

THINK OF THE BOYS.

wonder how many mothers are as
careful Of their boys as they are of the
girls? 1t seems to be general belief
that boys can take care of themselves.
But they cannot, for they are early ex-
posed to temptation. Girls are generally
at home, in their mothers company.
But the boys. when are they at home, as
an average, except in the morning before
school, at the dinner hour. and at sup
per? In the average family, in town or
village. the boy is away all day, except
when he eats. How much time there is
at noon and after school for Satan to
find mischief for that boys idle hands !
How many an evil scheme can be patch
ed up in few moments Some days the
boy is noticeably absent from home, and
anxious inquiry is for the moment made !;
but business soon takes the fathers
mind and time, while homework or COM
pany absorbs the mothers attention !;
and the little boy with so much time
away from home, and so little at home,
is getting wound up in some wicked old
er boys scheme and by-and-by the
shame of it is revealed. Is it wonder
then SO many boys wind up in an sin
stitution ?" | exhort mothers to give
up their parties and company and excess
of care about the house. and even more
important things, if such sacrifice be
necessary, in order that the boys be
properly cared for; and that they begin
before it is everlas tingly too late, tc
take them into their closest companion
ship, sharing all their interests as cor
daily as they do those of the girls. The
girls need not suffer hereby rather viii
they be blessed with the presence of no
BILE brothers in the home. whose late
career may be part of their own pride
| and Joy.

APRIL HOUSEWORK.

With this first week in April begins
IN town and country, all over the Uni
ted States, the yearly upturning of
houses and universal drenching known
as Spring cleaning No doubt all of
our reader who are housekeepers are
preparing for the conflict now. We
have suggestion to make; let the clean
ing begin with the air in and about
house, and when it is clean keep it
clean. If that is done, moths and fin
ger-marks on the doors will count for
but little. But with the majority of
domestic managers, dust is the enemy
which they work to conquer ; closets are
rooted out to the bottom, carpets shaken
paint scrubbed, clean wallpaper pasted
on top of the old, and whitewash daubed
on ceilings and fences; while all the
time these very walls, paper and plaster
are saturated with foul smells and ex
eretions imbibed through the air; and
in all probability, neighboring pigpen,
on uncleaned pit or waste-pipe without
a trap flood the atmosphere night and
day with impurity, which contains the
germs of disease and death
The average American woman does
not believe in the existence of dirt I'M
less she can see it She does not see
the impalpable denominations which hang
suspended in the air, and therefore does
not disturb them. This is especially
the case in farm-houses, where the eff1u-
via of half rotten potatoes banked in
the cellar all Winter, of swill, of gar
bage and of the barnyard mingle during
these moist Spring days with the scent
of the first wood blossoms. The worthy
country housewife, too, has habit of
Theoretically sealing the windows and
doors of her unused rooms as soon as
they are cleaned, so that the stagnant
polluted air has plenty of time to decay
if we may use the word. We have seen
chambers whose spotless purity would
make Shaker blush, in which the air
was absolutely heavy with invisible
fifth and contagion. This is a produc-
tive cause of the frequent outbreaks of
malarial and typhoid fevers in farm
houses, even in healthiest districts. Let
our energetic housekeepers then begin
their onslaught upon the cellars and
drains. Spare neither time nor money
in perfecting the arrangements for re-
moving all refuse of the house complete
ly away from it, and for the regular
ventilation of every department. Afte1
these things are done, sweep out YOU
dust, put on your paper or whitewash
provided the plaster below is clean) anC
polish your door-knobs to your heart
content. Nicely is pleasant to the ey'
though not essential to the health.
afterwards you keep the windows open
and let the sunshine into every room
you will in all probability be done wit
drugs and doctors bills for the rest Z

HON. E. W. ROBERTSON.

That sprishtly, "truc blue" Dem
cratic journal, the Greensburs ca
zette, hoists the name Of Col. Il. w.
Robertson as its choice in the ap-
preaching Convention, in the follow
ing straightforward terms;
To-day we place the name Of Hon
+. w. Robertson Of Baton Rouge, at the
head of our columns, as our choice Tor
Congress from this District, believing as
VIC do that wo represent the universal
sentiment of tho Democracy Of this
parish. Col. Robertson has served us
well and faithfully: has accomplished
much for his constituents; is thoroughly
familiar with parliamentary rules, and
we know of no good reason why he
should be displaced at this time in order
that some other gentleman may be
honorcd. He an oldlino Democrat and
fought the political battles Of his party
in ante-bellum days, and when grim.
visagcd war was upon MS, he, like al!
true Sonthcrncrs and patriots was found
in the front ranks brayeIy struggling in
the defense OF the Sunny South.
Honesty, and capacity to dis
charge the Duties Of any Office within our
gift, can always be found in the ranks OF
those who woro the "gray," and
it is our solemn duty to give them the
preference. There are other aspirants,
some of whom are equally as worthy,
honest, Capable and patriotic as COL
Robertson, but he has the experiences,
and,knows just how to proceed when IN
tho development Of The interests of his
constituency, whereas u new member
would ncccssarilydclay about two years
until lsS could learn the rules OF
procedure and the general MoDuS
OrERANDi.
As to tho incstimablc value of his ser
vices to this people no higher or stronger
evidence can DC al'uccd than his
record, to which, VIC with pride refer
our readers.
We trust that the convention, in it,
wisdom, will endorse our choice.
