WHEN PUBLIC FEELING Is much irrita-
ted it is very unfortunate if by chance any
one man be selected in the popular mind as
the head and front Of the offending. This
is at present the case in England with Mr..
Forster, the Chief Secretary, who is held
responsible for the Coercion act. He has
been threatened both from abroad and at
home Mysterious missives are showered
upon him, reaching him at all the places
which he habitually frequents. The monot-
ony of this form Of terrorism has within n
few days been varied by the appearance of
a youth, who has haunted Mr. Forster's city
residence demanding an audience He most
unwisely announced his intention of MUIR
dering the Chief Secretary, and was arrest
ted and examined. In his possession was
found letter bidding Mr.. Forster to re-
lease all the prisoners held by the Coercion
act, and resign his Office under pain OF
death. The would-be assassin is but Is years
of age.

THOSE GREAT MEN, keen observers and
profound thinkers, who cross a wide ocean
to write down the manners of this country,
show marked tendency to draw conclu-
sons of American life from the throat-cut-
ting and pistol-swinging habits of our
Western frontier. 1t would be about as
reasonable for one of us to 90 over and sec
English society reflected In the manners
and conversation of that peculiar brand OF
Englishmen who keep Ncwgate and the
penal colonies supplied with reinforcements.
The last one in the field with this absurd
sort of newspaper generalization is, to our
amazement. old Bull Run Russell. He
takes the liberty of passing reflections on
American life from the cxacted standpoint
of what he saw of Western ruffianism on his
recent tour with the Duke of Sutherland.
This is unkind in the Doctor, not to say un-
grateful. He was included among the
guests, when the best people in the United
States brought out their old china and
opened their wine cellars for the Dukes
benefit. Hence he was in q position to
know that the most refined portion Of our
citizens are not found in tho Territories. We
hope caution will hereafter be exercised in
furnishing plate for the Doctor.

The summer excursion business has al
ready developed considerable variety of
risks to life and limb, but a new style has
been started up on the Hudson river, where
fragments of the rocks blasted on the banks
have been sent into the passing steamers
causing some injury and great terror to the
passengers.

Boys ON TRAINING SHIPs.-In answer
to an inquiry of correspondent we will
state that the United States steamer Saratoga
is now cruising on the coast of Maine, and
that boys who enlist on training vessels arc
not supposed to cook, regular cooks being
employed on all the vessels to serve the

WHEN A BLOODY RUFFIAN is strangled
in the presence Of five thousand people
whom. he says, he confidently expects to
meet in heaven, it is to be inferred that
there is free grace and special blessing
extended particularly to the participants in
hanging festivity Many very good people
are mOdestly doubtful as to their own pr-
vatc claims to an entrance into that future
state of beatitude, and may well question
whether the mass of rowdies, who arc par
ticularly prone to attend such ceremonial,
will find that experience the very best way
of making their salvation sure.

EMMETT, THE ACTOR, is anxious to build

Since 1871 the population of Manitoba
has increased from 10000 to 10000, while
trade has, il is thought, grown five to ten
fold in ten years The customs duties for
this year are estimated at between 100000
and S4OO, 900, against some $67, 900 in 1874,
The exports arrive by two channels-the
Pembjua BranchRailway and the Red River,
on which five or six steamers ply in the
summer months. The interior trade is in
the hands of the Hudson's Bay Company,
which has lines of steamers upon Lake
Winnipeg and the Saskatchewan and trad
ing-posts scattered over the whole
immens, region stretching to the Arctic
Ocean and the Rocky Mountains, and two
private lines of steamers upon the Assini-

THE ROBBERY of the railway train in the
West came just in the nick of time, for now
the English journals can reply that if their
system of private carriages offers special adj
vantages to the assassin, ours offer similar
facilities to organized bands of robbers,
which Is, Of course, more appropriate to a
republican form of Government.

A REVOLUTIONARY CONGRESS" is dis
porting itself in London beneath brave
display of blood-red flags. The oratory is
of the most approved style of gore and
thunder eloquence, with Russian prince
to approve of the assassination of the Rus
sian generals and the renowned Louise
Michel to advocate the most stalwart COM
munism. A female delegate from America
helps to thrill the crowd with heart-rend-
ing stories of the suflerings Of the emf
grants who reach our inhospitable shores
only to be plundered and deceived. The
food that these ardent reformers o il'er to
their hungry listeners seems to be COM
pounded like the hell-broth drained from
the dregs of the cauldron around which the
witches of Macbeth danced and sang in a
similar fury and with the same intent.

A NOTICEABLE FEATURE Of the streets
of Washington city is the number of women
who walk swiftly and well. They convey
the impression that they have started from
somewhere with the firm determination of
going somewhere else, and this manifest in

the step in marked contrast to the oscillat-

"ARBUTUS."

I wandered lonely where the pine trees made
Against the bitter east their barricade,
And, guided by it's sweet
Perfume, I found within al narrow dell
Amid dry moss and dead leaves at my. feet
The trailing spring flower ti*ted like shell!
And, bending DER it not irreverent
thought OF lives thus lowly clogged and pent
Which vet found room,
Through daily cumberirgs Of deep decay and
death,
To give to heaven the sweetness of their
breath
And to earth tie beauty Of their bloom.

BABY.

The danties: piece of sweetness that know
Is standing now behind that curtain'e lace;
Withdraw the curtain softly from it's place
And you may see the sweet it screenetl so.
The sunniest head that ever caught the glow
Of sunshine on it; the most tiower-ike face
That ever made you dream a minutes space
OF orchards when the apple blossoms blow,
Petite, piquant and ali! sad coquette,
She makes you plead for kisses times untold.
And at the last denies you. and will fret
And purse her mouth and bride if you scold.
She is my queen and her slave-and yet
This same coquette is only two years old.

There was just little shade of GOODNESS
in Harry's voice, as he suggested the prob
able reason for her singular improved ap-
pearance.
EYES," replied Bella.
"Who?"
MY husband" in trembling voice.
Harry was little puzzled, but greatly
pleased. 1t was true that he had been rid
ing out that afternoon with a lady; hand
some, attractive woman, who was throwing
around his weak, almost boyish, spirit, a
a SIRENS fascination. She put on every
charm In her power to summon; while the
foolish wife was hiding hers away, and TAX
ing no pains to hold dominion in the heart
she had won, and was now in danger of
losing. Five minutes before the companion
of his ride appeared to his fancy SO charm
ing, in comparison with his wife, that he
felt no pleasure at the thought Of meeting
one who, since their marriage. had seemed
to grow every day less attractive. But now
Bella was his queen Of hearts again!
"And are you really dressed to receive
me, darling?" he said, as he kissed her
again, and then drew his arm lovingly about
her waist.
Eyes, for you. Could true wife wish to
look lovelier to others eyes than her hus-
bands?"
II should think not, " he answered.
She understood, in the words, more than
he meant to cor vey.
There was a rose-tint on every thing in
Bella's home that evening From the cold,
half Indifferent husband, Harry was trans
formed to the warm, attentive lover. How
many times. as she turned her eyes upon
him, did she catch look Of tender admir-
alton or loving pride.
"What has made you SO charming to-
night?" he said, as he kissed her for the
tenth time. "You look as pure and sweet
as lilly"
Love for my husband" she answered,
and then tear, in which joys sunlight
made rainbow, stole out from the dropping
lashes, and lay, crystal drop on her cheek.
She made no confession Of her thought
less neglect of the means by which hearts
are held in thrall to love; though her hus-
band half guessed at the fact that something
had awakened her to the truth.
On the next afternoon Harry rode out
with lady again; but that lady was his
wife. He was never afterward in danger of
being won away from faithful love, for Bel
Ia grew in his eyes more attractive, more
charming, more loyable every day. And
thus she saved him, in his younger and
less stable years, from being drawn aside
from the right way; and both herself and
him from years Of wretchedness.

After the friend said good~afternoon, the
young wife went to her room and cried for
a good quarter OF an hour. Then she COM
menced doing as her friend had suggested.
Refreshed by Il bath, she attired herself in
spotless white wrapper. with delicate
blue belt binding her waist. A small lace
collar, scarcely whittier than her pure neck,
edged and tied with s. harrow azure ribbon,
was turned a ay from her swanlike throat;
and just below was an exquisitely-cut oval
pin. Her hair, rich golden brown, had
been made glossy as the wing of Il bird,
and was folded just enough away from the
temples to SHOW their delicate cutting.
Two open rOsebuds-rel and wlite-nest-
led in her hair. She did look lovely and
lovable, as her mirror told her.
Harry was half an hour later than usual
in coming home. Bella waS1sitting in the
turn with new feeling at her heart-a
feeling of blended fear and hope; fear lest
he was actually becoming estranged from
her, and a trembling hope to win him back
again. His step was not very light. She
noticed that, for her ear had become newly
sensitive. He had caught glimpse Of her
| through the window, and knowing, there
fore, that she was in the parlor, came to the
door and stood there.
BLESS mel" he exclaimed, after mo-
ment, "how charming you look!"
And he came forward with pleased
smile on his face, and taking her hand, bent
down and kissed her.
"Sweet as arose!" he added. holding her
away from him, and gazing at her admiring-
~. How her heart did beat with new de-
dressed for oomrany?"
