THE THREE FRIENDLY
PRINTERS.

y great many Years ago, before
The pitscIi government pint ~ Of
fee was established, there uere three
printers engaged upon .",ernrnent
work who were tas, ~iri,u,is AMI OH
s;aut associates. They neither had
nor cared 10 Lave other acquaint-
c One day n Of tie three fell
sick and died. Then the question
was, VII" wou,., ..:r!nrm the usual
rights OF i.icnds!.ip ior the dead.
Nobody outside took any in,ercs; III
the matter, SO tia, the TWO friends
were obliged 70 are for the body
themselves. Now all these printers
we're very fond OF liquor, and,
though they v were e in pub
lie har-room>, bad many j bout by
themselves in q quiet nook.
The two remaining friends then
sat mp with the corpse, and, TO while
away the time, brought their pack of
cards ana bottle for company.
Elchre was the game, and they
PLAYED tor a stake, the winner to
drink on scoring a game and the
loser to stay dry. The luck ran Il
sided. Seated on either side Of the
corpse, with the coffin between them
as a table, the players played and
recounted h e'>ir,ues of their dead
friend. Blu, The one who never won
was getting more and more ,hi,sty.
The cards had run steadily against
him, and not a drop Of liquor had
passed his Fps. Finally the luck
changed and, Slapping Down the
right bower On the coffin, ho ex-
claimed, There, now, it's my turn y
With a hasty motion, he reached for
the bottle, but at that instant con
Esternation filled the breasts Of both
friends as the supposed corpse rose
up and said Not a drop till I've
had mine With a scream Of hor-
ror the two frieuls jumped up and
rushed, one TO the door and the
other to a window. The latter
leaped to the ground in his terror
and broke a Lev; the other gained
the street without m~isadventnre and
disappeared. Years have elapsed.
Both the watchers have died, bu,
the friend who was supposed to be
dead still lives, an eccentric, aged
man, who is now a ~com;nsitor il
the government printing 3ice.

French immigration to Canada.

Immigrants from all parts Of tho world
are preparing TO pour into Canada. Irish
Immigration is about TO be diverted to the
Northwest AID assisted TO reach there by
the British Government; and on tho 18th
Of April Mr.. J. Il. Perrnut submitted to
the Ottawa Government the plans of the
Union Commercials Franco Canadienne
Company, Of which no is tho secretary, in
order to obtain the subsidy of $4,000
voted during tho last session in favor of
fortnightly line of steamers between n
French port ond Montreal in summer and
Halifax in winter. The company which he
now represents rs n delegate to the Domin-
ion Government has subscribed capital of
S24O,OO0 and is composed of French and
French Canadian capitalists. It's purpose
is three-fold one. First the establish
mont of line of steamers which, should
the Government grant subsidy, would be
crossing the Atlantic in couple of months.
Secondly, the colonization of tract of the
Northwest with substantial settlers well
provided with means. Those who are not
will be assisted in their efforts by colon-
cation society, possessing capital of
100000 which will undertake to settle
an area Of 100 square leagues within tho
space of ten years. The society is pre-
pared to advance to intending emigrants
not only their passage money, but to give
them furnished dwelling, agricultural
implements, yoke Of oxen, and sufficient
provisions to enable them to await the
reaping of their first crop, the whole adj
vance to be reimbursed to the company in
ten equal payments, bearing interest at 6
per cent. Thirdly, the company intends
making special exhibition to be held in
Montreal this fall. Should the Govern
ment grant the subsidy, the company will
begin operations at once, as it is anxious to
have settlers Mt work in the Northwest MS
carly as tho first days of July.-British

Habits of Authors.

The hours, methods, and surroundings
Of men who write are so different. Mr..
Trolopo said quite lately that no made
up the major part of his novels when walk
ing through tho woods. There was n
great German who could mover pump ont
the least inspiration without having n pot
Of geraniums on his desk. 1t is said that
the ilnstrious Button, when he was writ
ing about pig in his natural history, had
TO put on his embroidered coat, his dress
sword, his Vaencennes ruiiles otherwise,
original porcino composition was impossi-
bic. The Figaro informs us that Dumas
rises early, takes some soup, and then goes
to work en- neghge. Victor Hugo's method
of writing is well known. Endowed with
a Homeric appetite, the devouring of
huge beefsteak prepares him for his labors.
IF tho Eygaro is to be credited, he writes
"by heart" That is, he thinks over his
days work, and then, when that next day
comes, he writes it all Off Mt a single sitting.
But the question is, does not his writing en-
one day interfere with his composition for
the next 1t is said of him that tho mni or
pGrt of d" Marion Delorme was composed
as he sauntered up and down the covered
way of the Passage du Saumon of rainy
days. Lamartine's place for study was on
horseback. With poor Alfred dc Musset,
in his later days, his surroundings were
mono of the best. Possibly, on supper
table, stained with wines, sticky with
sweetmeots, clotted with gravy, all greasy,
filthy, and besmeared, he wrote those verses
chat had in them all thatagonies of dis
solute life. No one ever knew how, in the
last fifteen years of her life, George Sand
had the time to write. Nine. Dudevaut
kept open house, took good care of her
children, made preserves, worked on tap
estry, and was fond of open-air exercises.
1t was Mt night after her days occupation
was over that "Consuelo Francois 10
Campi, twas written. George Elliot is said
to have been an occasional writer. Some
days she accomplshes no end of work, for
themood being on, she swept along with
the current. But then again the tide
was stagnant, the fragment of romance
refused to dance and glide on the sluggish
waters, and SO. fully aware that there was
"no good in it, she threw down her pen
and gave it up. Habit has much to do
with the creative power, and clergymen
with their sermons, or people who write for
newspapers, whether they do it well or ill,
do turn on the spigot at certain definite
hour of the day, and away it goes Still,
what Emanuel Deusch tells us of the early
Arabic poet, Aliaradac, should be remem-
bered | am, according to the Judgment
of the Tamanites, the best poet among
them, but sometimes an hour comes over
me when l would rather have tooth
pulled out than make a verse"

Russian Women.

Women have played an important part
in Russian history, snys the Philadelphia
Record, from Olga, wise and able ruler
Of the embryo empire in the middle of the
tenth century, to Catharine II, whose
long and brilliant reign of thirty.four
years, ending in 1896, exhibits her as the
most successful sovereign of Russia since
Peter the Great. 1t was Sophia, niece
of Constantine the last byzantine EN-
peror, and wife of Ivan III, who, toward
the close of the fifteenth century, caused
her imperial spouse to introduce the arts of
civilization into the almost barbarous
realm. The good Queen Anastasa, first Of
the royal Romanofs, is related to have ex-
ercised the most benehcent influence over
her husband, Ivan the Terrible. The
Grand Duchess Sophia, half sister of Peter
the Great, was singularly able and ambi-
tous woman, and her administration as
Princess Regent, though brief, marked
notable epoch in the annals of her country.
Catharine | and afterwards Anna, in the
first half of the eighteenth century, were
weak enough to allow themselves to be
controlled, not unlike many male rulers,
by persons of the opposite sex, and they
may be regarded rather ms administrative
figure than otherwise. Elizabeth,
who reigned from l740 to 1862, was an
empress in fact as well as in name. She
dethroned her immediate predecessor after
he had been the nominal head of the nation
for about year. During her reign the
German party was deprived of the undue
influence it had acquired only to abuse it;
the Senate was restored to the power as
signed to it by Peter the Great, her father,
and her career was altogether worthy of
her ilustrious origin. Her successor, Peter
Ii, was, by noteworthy repetition of his
tory, dethroned by his gifted and energetic
cousort, who, as Catharne II, entered
upon reign whose splendor of achieve
ments and sagacity of governmental
methods compare favorably with the career
of any monarch the world has ever seen.
