An Exciting Ferry Incident.
Montreal Witness, 18th. ]

About nine o'clock this morning, as
the Longeuil ferry steamer Longeuil
was on her way over to HOchelaga
heavily laden with passengers from the
Southeastern railroad, besides cattle
and market produce, she lost her bear
ings in mid river owing to fog, and
came to a stand. After waiting some
time she proceeded cautiously toward
the wharf, but when within two hun
dred yards of it, struck heavily on Il
rock, and was held fast. She then
lurched somewhat, throwing the pas
sengers about in the greatest cOnster-
nation, while the cattle and cargo,
being hustled together on one side, a
capsize seemed for a time imminent.
She was finally got off by the aid of
boats, having sustained slight damage
to her copper. She will stop running
tonight. Passengers by the South
eastern railway arriving at Longeuil
for Montreal will hereafter be convey
ed to st. Lambert and thence by the
Grand Trunk railway to the city.
This will continue only until the ice
shall have taken sufficiently on the riv-
er to admit of sleighs being put on,
when a number drawn by six horses
will run regularly between the South
eastern depot at Longeuil and HOche-
laga.

How THEY WERE REsCUED.-TwO
oyung ladies were imprisoned for half
day on the dome of the st. Louis Court
House last week They had gone up
to the top, counting the steps, after the
manner of women, and after enjoying
the prospect, had found that they could
not open the door leading to the stair
way. After six long hours of waiting
and WEAKNESS, one of them remembered
a device resorted to by the heroine of
her favorite novel. She wrote few
words ON paper, clamped the slip under
the blade of her pen-knife and tossed it
into the street. A young man picked
up the knife and read these words,
written on the tag in a delicate hand:
ave are fastened in the dome! For
Heavens sake get us out !" He showed
the signal of distress to the janitOr.
"Mein Colt und Himmel ~ exclaimed
the worthy man "dose pooty gals up
dare all desc times 2" He rushed up
the winding stairs as fast as his legs
would carry him and reaching the top,
opened the small door leading to the
cupola. The girls received him with
tears of Joy, and in their gratitude may
have added kiss or two. They are
now anxious to find out what is the
color of the eyes of the young man who
picked up the knife.

Now for q Vacation.

A winter vacation trip to the city
would be sensible use of time and
money for a good many farmers and
their wives. In the summer season,
when other people are resting and re-
cruiting, the farmer and his household
are the busiest. But in winter it is
quite possible for the chores and odd
jobs to be so arranged as to let the
heads of the family be spared for a few
days. From this time until the end of
the holiday season the city will be best
worth seeing. The shops are gay, the
amusements are in full blast, and every
thing shows that "visitOrs are expect
ed" How about your city friends who
come to you a-cousining? Isn't it about
time you returned some of their visits 2
Or if you have no such friends, don't
think you need to pay big hotel bills.
There are always comfortable and
cheap boarding places to be found and
you will appreciate your home all the
better after trying them! A week in
town will do you good, while it lasts,
and give you something new to talk
about for the rest of the season. Don't
begrudge the expense involved in being
good to yourself once in while.

Suits at Law.

Mr.. Editor don't suppose all
difference between contending parties
can be suddenly settled, inasmuch as
these parties are often perfectly honest
and sincere in the belief that they are
right. With parties of this character,
whose hearts are pretty near right, and
who wish to see nothing but justice
done, we can neither see the wisdom
nor the philosophy of their going to
law to settle their difficulties. Honest
men, of all men in the world, should
be willing to settle their troubles with
as little cost and friction as possible.
Men who go to law on purpose for
revenge, and to punish somebody, are
very dangerous persons in any cOmmu-
nifty. They mean to have their will,
and they lay their plans to rasp and
grind, and to be as offensive and disa-
greeabe as possible. There is little
hope of amicable adjustment between
two wilful men, as long as there is
"peg to hang their hopes upon" For
such men, perhaps there is no other
way than to give them all the rope
they want.
We should beware of the man who is
always in law. Generally, he is easily
insulted, is apt to be quarrelsome, and
ever ready to ''sue" somebody. No
where in the world does he feel so
much at home as in the court house.
Aud it is a great pity that such men,
like an insidiOus disease, are so often
permitted to drag quiet and peaceable
parties into court, and fasten upon
them with wrath and malice, as vul-
ture would fasten its talons upon its
prey.
All good men should discourage liti-
CATION the same as they would intern
perance. For it is species of intern
perance, to make the best of it we can /;
and it is undoubtedly true, that most
parties engaged therein, never come
out of it any better than they went in.
Is there not better way to redress
common grievances than to go to law 7
Does it look sensible, or Christian like,
to pay hundreds of dollars for '.justice,"
when very few would do just as well,
and, may be, little friendly arbitra-
ton of neighbOrs do still better? In
common cases, do men get much of
anything but cost and humiliation ?
To make the very best of it we can, do
not all litigants get badly whipped in
the long run? If this be true, then
what can the object be in going to law?
Plainly nothing, only to crafty stub
born will, to show the spunk, and to
be as ugly as possible.
We sincerely wish that only those
cases of the most serious concern should
ever be allowed to go into court. We
wish that the judges of our courts, who
have seen so much law folly, would
make such public protests as their ex
perience could give. If the smallpox
should break out among us, we should
try and put IA stop to it. How much
more important it is, then, to try and
stop so much foolish litigation, that
ruins hundreds to the smallpox tens.
And, if lawyers must have Il fee for le-
gal advice, let them take it by advising
most parties to settle their differences
outside of the court house instead of
inside. F. V.P.

A New Story of Lincoln.

AT the peace conference which Oc-
CURED in February, 1865, at Fortress
Monroe, President Lincoln and Secre-
tary Seward were on one side, and
Alexander H. Stephens, John A. Camp
bell and r. NJ. 7. Hunter on the other.
The attenuation of Mr.. Stephens has
long been Il matter of such general
notorety that it is not offensive to speak
of it. 1t seems that Mr.. Lincoln had
never seen Mr.. Stephens before. At
that time a kind of cloth was worn by
Southern gentlemen, nearly of the
shade of the ordinary corn husk, and
Mr.. Stephens great coat was made of
that material. But Mr.. Stephens, who
always has been a frail man, wore many
other garments beneath to protect him
against the raw wind of Hampton
Roads; aud Mr.. Lincoln watched with
much interest the process of shedding
until the man was finally reached. At
last Mr.. Stephens stood forth in his
physical entity, ready for business.
Mr.. Lincoln, giving Gov. Seward one of
his most comical looks, and pointing to
the discarded coats, said: "Well, L
never saw as much shuck for as little a
nubbin in all my life"

Cod-Liver Oil for Weak Children.

Aside from such judiciOus manage
ment, | know of none that offers to us
more promise of success than a perse-
vering course of cOd-liver oil. After
much careful observation of its effects
| can confidently affirm that cases such
as we have been considering form a
large class. in which the benefits of
this great remedy are too little under
stood. Not that its value is moderated
in the various and actual diseases that
are commonly called scrOfulOus; not
that it is neglected when disease has
fairly invaded the system, for these all
acknowledge its potency for good; but
as a modifieI of the whole organization,
before disease has invaded it, even
while it is yet unsupported, and during
the early months of life, then it is that
this remedy is most valuable. AS Prof.
Geo b. Wood says of mercury, so say
of this remedy; it ''revOlutionizes" the
whole body, builds up every cell, re-
organizes, so to speak, the vital forces,
and makes the child apparently anOth-
er being. Therefore, as preventive,
as a foTtifier, would recall the atten
ton of the profession to it, believing,
as | do that it is too much neglected.
am aware that such general recon-
mendati0n of this remedy nearly ap-
proaches empiricism. And at this
point | wish TO call attention to the re-
marks of Niemeyer, that codliver oil is
used in scrofulous diseases too indis-
criminately that it is needless to ad-
minister it to any but those who are
lean, with little or no adipose tissue,
etc. This is undoubtedly true in ref
erence to tubercular affections, but |
must dissent from it in the cases L
have mentioned, especially in infants
and Young children who have not yet
reached the tubercular or disease stage.

Surgical Reporter.

A good preparation of glycerine to
have on hand, can be readily prepared
by any apothecary or druggist: In two
ounces of sweet oil of almonds, melt by
a slow heat, half an ounce of sperma-
cetti, add one drachm of white wax.
Then add one ounce of good glycerine,
stirring until cold. When cold, scent it
by stirring in we'll little oil of roses.
Keep in small jars or small wide-neck-
ed bottles. In hot weather keep closely
cOrked, as it sometimes gets little
rancid if long exposed to warmth. Half
or fourth of the above quantities may
be used. Every drug store should
keep jar of il, and recommend its use.
1t is excellent for softening the skin, for
most injured skin surfaces that are not
open sores, for chafed places, for mois-
tening cOrns or callused feet or toes, and
especially for chapped face, lips, or
hands. When the hands are chapped
or cracked OF roughened by cold, wash
them clean with soap, and rub them
well with this glycerine ointment, wip-
ing off enough to prevent soiling cloth
ing. If this is done at night, the hands
will be soft and in good condition in
the mornieg, except when deeply crack
ed. 1t is very good to apply to the
hands after washing day" This is an
excellent preparation to use by those
afflicted with the distressing trouble
known as hemorrhoids or piles.

"Mother," said a bright little boy
