 While the original Barney Aaron, the fa- nous Nestor of the English prize ring was at the zenith of his glory, benefit was ar- ranged for the Jews Hospital, Lower Nor wood, to take place at the Surrey Theatre, London. The house was crowded with the very lowest kind of London Jews, people who had seldom if ever before been inside of theatre. They turned out on this occa- sion to kill two birds with one shilling-to have nights fun and to help ''yiddisch' charity. The principal actress of the even ing was Miss Mccarthy, then great favor lte on the London boards. Upon her first entrance, the audience who had applauded every one that had greeted her, were so well pleased that they howled and stamped until the walls fairly shook This so disconnected the lady that she forgot her lines for the moment Then they began to hiss as loudly as they had cheered before, and it became impossible to go on with the play. In the midst of the tumult Barney Aaron jumped from his box on to the stage to address the audience, be- ginning with line from the most sacred of Jewish prayers. He said ''Shmong Yisrod Hear, o IsraelO Ladies and gentlemen, here's shicksah Christian woman) come all the way from the West End, and paid her own cab, and you von't lear Ter. makah >curse) auf (on) yer all; be quiet, yer chosi- rim !"

The royal society for the prevention of cruelty to animals won a case in the Derby police court in England, involving the treat ment of wild animals in a menagerie. The cruelty necessary to keep the savage crea- lures in subjection would probably be per- mitted but the court drew the line at com polling hyenas to jump through burning hoops which scorched their backs and to compel them to do which it was necessary to treat them with great cruelty. The ground upon which the society brought it's action was that wild beasts, which are caged and fed by hand, are domestic animals and therefore proper subjects for the protection of the long named societies.
 The Washington School Board is discussing the question of reducing the number of studies in the public schools, on the ground that the health of the pupils suffers from too much work.

Rural Happenings.

SENECA, Oct 2l-Thc election returns from

of the "unterriiieI" in this section, but by no
mears are they willing to concede the election
of "320' Garfield in November; neither do
they admit the majorlties to be so large as
claimed. Iandcrs, the candidate for governor,
was very unpopular and not satisfactory to a
large number of democrats, and instead of be-

The men who are supporting General Han
cock for the presidency are generally poor
men. Those who oppose him are in nearly
every instance the officcholders and the rIcn.
Without these two influences Hancock would
carry Pennsylvania by 10000 majority; with
out them he would carry Massachusetts; with.
out them he would carry New Hampshire and
Rhode Island. We are told there is great
inconvenience in being poor, but in the case
of the example of the conspiracy to beat Han
cock by corruption fund there Is a great
danger of being too rich. Precisely because
there Is not enough money to buy whole peo-
pie so there are not enough people base
enough to sell themselves. At least two, and
one estimate declares that five million dollars
will be raised by the oficeholders OF the gener-
al government TO defeat the nan that saved
Pennsylvania from Confederate invasion.

OTTAWA FREE TRADEl; SATURDAY, OCTOBER 49, 1885,

When twenty or thirty persons give from
5000 10 $4,000 each, the fact that from two
10 three millions are extracted from one hun.
dred thousand placemen at Washington and
elsewhere is easy to believe
The spectacle is altogether without parallel.
In former elections there was reason III raising
some money for elections. During the war all
parties gave freely TO our soldiers their wId-
ows and orphans. But now the only effect of
this corruption fund is to arouse the hatred of
the people, as the only object OF the enormous
subsidy is to keep the peoples enemies IN
office and to defeat the peoples favorite.
have noticed in my experience during this
election the unwon,ed activity of the poor.
The democrats, all out of office, were never so
active. The workingp people pay the expenses
OF the democratic meetings and the name of
Hancock calls thousands to his standard. On
the other hand what Is the comment on these
actions from the placemen and the rich to de.
feat General Hancock? At time when hun
drcds and thousands of people are struggling
for livelihood what is the thought prompted
by these heavy sums passed into the republl-
can cotiers9 That these millions are taken
from overted placemen to contaminate the
people. In proportion to the fact that there is
not money enough to buy the whole people is
the other fact that the Indignation of the peo-
votes for Hancock The new corruption fund
Is the advertised fear that Hancock Is getting
too strong. The public offer of brides Is
the same as to say that the people can be
bought. Even the mercenary Will feel this
public purchase. But how will the mechanic
take it who is resolved TO vote tor Hancock
anyhow? He will grow more defiant when
he is bid for like chattle. How with the
honest millionaire when he sees the brazen at
tempt to corrupt nation9 How with the pa.
triot, when he sees the presidency at auction
All these practices are new. They come from
the philosophy of the Credit Mobiler that
brides housetul of congressman, or from tie
example OF the De Golyer jobber who fees a
statesman to vote for a measure whose only
merit was the fact that it was never intended
to be otherwise than dishonest. In n word,

is still more certain TO array the poor against
