The ''Boss'' System Among Exquimaux
Dogs

There is always one bully in every team, who
gets all the choice bits that stolen by the 9th
ers, and generally manages to keep fat no matter
how short they are OF provisions He waits for
the others to make the rad, and then stands on
the outside to take it away from them. These bn-
lies are in several grades There is the chief Of
whom all are afraid, and then there is the next in
rank, Of whom all are afraid but the chief: a
third of whom all are afraid but two, and so on
down Sometimes the food is cut into small
pieces and thrown out upon the ice for all to help
themselves, and then there is rough and tumble
fight, and snarling and growing as if whole
cage Of hyenas had broken loose. But here the
bullies have 70 advantage; indeed, the advantage
is with the small lively fellows that slip in and get
the meat while the big ones are lighting W Then
dog manages to steal piece of meat he has a
llVey lme OF II, Tor soon every other dog in camp
IS after him. and he has to eat it on the rum if at
all headed off at every turn by one Of the bulhes
and whining and choking at the same time 1t
certainly + one Of the most comical exhibitions
ever witnessed From ''Among the Esqumaux

Ex-senator Hamin. Interesting Incidents
in his Career


the sketch as peader at the bar is thus described
One evening at a huskiDg party to which young
Hamlln and his companions in the Hebron Acade
my were invited, certain old gentleman. whose
name need not now be mentioned, took rather
more Medtord rum than was good for him. In
fact he became dlSagreeaby boisterous At this
the school boys took otfense and to bring the old
topper to his senses they pelted him with hard ears
OF corn, and with more Ygor than ceremony rolled
him in the husks. The result of this treatment
was that the old fellow left the party with black
eye and very body. 1t was expected that
TINS would end the matter Those who held to
TINS view, however, were surprised early the next
morning to hear that all the academy boys who at
tended the party had been arrested on a warrant
charging them with assault and battery. Without
delay they taken before the Justice of the
Peace who held his court in an old kitchen and
who was proceeding in very pompous manner to

An Express Line of Atlantic Steamers

1t has been apparent for some time past that it
was only question ct a few years when a line Of
steamers would be built to run across the Atlantic
at high rate OF speed, to carry only tiFst-elass
passengers. the mails and costly, quickly perish
able merchandise. Our railroads are becoming
more and more specialized in this way in some
instances running what are known as limited ex
press trains at great speed and to the advantage
OF all classes OF travellers since they permit those
who are IN hurry and can afford to pay an extra
price to make the journey very quickly. while
those to whom money and not time is a consider
alton Of paramount importance can travel at some
thing less than what would be al average price
This specialization has not thus tal been carried to
any great extent on our transat antc service The

line OF steamers The title taken is the Atlantic
Express Steam Navigation Company, and it is pro

the ships shall be Milford Haven and New York
The company is to have capital of 50 SOC 600
and proposes at the outset to build five steamers
having a carrying capacity of 5000 tons each and
with sufficient power TO steam across the Atlantic

in the southwest corner of Wales is chosen as a

the Great Western railroad, is in direct cOmmuni-

The Toronto Globe admits that the Canadian
people have great admiration for the United States
1t remarks 'It cannot be concealed-it is no
use in concealing the truth-that many Of our
people think the American Republic better than
our Dominion because it is Republican country.
1t has a charm for them. As the poor American
slaves used to watch the northern Star when sigh
