the customs have largely increased, at the
same time that the industries Of the country
have been multiplied and largely extended.
Manufacturers from "the States" have come In
here with their machinery, and others are COM
ing, to produce goods of many kinds on Cana
dian soil; the workmen eating the products Of
Canadian farms, and spending their wages in
encouraging and stimulating all useful indus
tries and one not so useful, to wit: the grog
shop. This latter industry, however, is al
ready under the ban of the law in large part
of the Dominion, and will soon be driven out
OF the entire country, as being in deadly hos
ti.ity to all its interests. The agitation to that
end is now going with great activity in every
part OF the country.
have seen and talked with some of our
manufacturers who have come here to make
goods of many kinds for the supply of Canadi-
an needs they like very much the prospect
that opens up before them and are sure of sue
cess because they have confidence in the per-
manence Of the policy by which they were In
duced to come here. OF course we Of "ths
States" would prefer that our people would re-
main at home, and that Canadians would come
to us to buy, paying to us all the profits instead
OF keeping them at home. We look ON and
see going on this hegira Of skilled workmen
from us to them, and can quite sympathize
with our English brethren who think they
have natural and indefeasible right to make
goods for all the world, and do not like to see
manufactures hoprishiug, or even existing,
except among themselves
If the Canadians were to buy their goods in-
stead of making them for themselves. we
would like them to come to us for their supply,
but since they have the good sense to set up
business for themselves, in way to improve
to the utmost their resources and wonderful
possibilities, we wish them God speed with all
our hearts and the most eminent success. II
our manufacturers with their skilled workmen
go to Canada with their industries, very well,
that's their right, and it is wise policy Of the
Canadians to attract them and keep them. We
look upon this result Of their new policy with
no heart burning, but with the warmest assur-
ances that by steady persistence in it, the Do
minion will become a great, populous, rich
and powerful nation, as we have, under its in
fiuenee.
We have and can have no rivalries or jeal-
ousies toward Canada, as she has and can have
none teward u.s. 1 see no possible way in
which any antagonism is likely to spring up
between us, and the Canadians see none. /
have reason to know that they in no way dep
recate our wonderful growth in population,
wealth and power and l am sure l am war
ranted in saying that we heartily wish our
northern neighbors their full share of that
prosperity in all material things, that has been
brought to US by our policy of protection TO our
own industries, giving abundant and remuner-
ative employment to our own people.

Judge Blatchford's Old Almanacs.
[From a New York Letter.


Judge Blatchford is known to all the second
hand book-stall keepers and junk dealers in
New York. not as the richest and most indus
trious judge ON any bench, but as the man who
collects old almanaes. This whimsical pur-
suit is almost mania with Judge Blatchford.
From the stateliest nautical almanacs down to
the hun. blcst patent medicine annual, nothing
with the signs of the zodiac and the phrases Of
the moon is foreign TO his tastes. When he
was practicing at the bar he was. largely cor
cerned with admiralty cases, and series OF
almanacs is part of the library equipment of
every admiralty lawyer. This was the origin
of his speciality. He has now on hand the
largest and most varied lot of old almanacs in
the country if not in the world 1 should not
call it very interesting collection; to him it is
amazingly interesting. He has ransaoked
Nashua and Ann streets for years with such
industry that it is a rIe thing for him to find
an almanac or calendar not already in his col
lection. Several summers ago Judge Blstch-
ford went TO Europe for few weeks vacation
On his return, when ne landed at the North
river pier, he staggered under the weight of q
mysterious looking cubical package or bale,
carefully strappep. He would allow nobody to
touch it, 1t might have contained hundred
custom house inspector looked over the rest of
his baggage, and then approached the big bun
die.
"What have you got there" he asked.
Judge Blatchford family blushed, as is his
habit when embarrassed, and stammered:
"Oh, nothing but lot of-er-er-publiea-
tions"
''But publications are dutiabe," suggested
the officer.
"Not when published more than twenty
years." returned the judge, promptly, "and
these are all older than that" But he gave no
sign of any intention to open the package for
examination.
can right, judge" said the inspector. who
knew perfectly we'll with whom he was speak
ing, 81 guess we won't look into the bundle
And he put his chalk mark on the bale, at the
same time winking at brother officer, as
much as to say: "rhere are some passengers
into whose little transgressions it is best not TO
look too zealously.'
The Judge trotted OFF with his precious bur
den, greatly relieved in mind. The bundle was
innocent enough, containing, as 1t did, nothing
but almanacs OF the eighteenth century, the
spoils of Oxford street. the Quais Malaquals
and Voltaire, and the dusty shops Of Lsipsic,
Stuttgart and Geneva.

SECRETARY Kirkwood is named as head
of the commission to reoganize the territory
of Utah under the bill recently passed by
congress. The bill authorizes the president
to appoint board, to consist of five persons,

and count the votes and declare the result
of the election. The bill further provides
that no polygamist, bigamist, or any person
cohabiting with more than one woman in
any territory in the United States, shall be
entitled to vote at any election or to appoint
ment to any Office or place of public trust
for any territory of the United States.

BIsMARK's S trick in taxing American hams
wrapped in canvas as ''cotton goods" calls
to mind, says the New York Sun, the expe-
dent of Alexander Won Humbolt, when, in
1905, he was engaged, with Gay-Lussac, in
experiments with atmospheric pressure in
Paris. A yreat many glass tubes were need
ed in the experiments, and, these being
costly in France and subject to high duty,
Humboldt had them imported, sealed at both
ends, and described in the bill of ladng as
German air." Air being non-dutiable,
they were allowed to pass in consideration
of the use to vhich they were to be put.

A Liberal Offer.

Professor Mezzerhoff, Yof New York,
Russian who left his country possibly for
its good and probably for his gain, makes
liberal offer--indeed an uncommonly hand
some offer. He engages, for the triding pc
cuniary consideration of $3.50, to annihilate
British man-of-war worth 81, ,000, ,000, 900;
and with the aid of twenty men, by him Sc
lected, to destroy in one day London, Paris,
Berlin, st. Petersburg or Constantinople
The temptation he holds out to investors
nust prove irresistible. 1t is true that no
political scheme in which any of us here are
interested can be advanced by the destruc-
ton of the cities above named or by the
making of hole in the British war fleet.
But the returns on the capital invested are
indisputably enormous, and the chance is
one that Spectators will not let slip through
their fingers. The percentage is really ex-
traordinary, 100000 for $3.50! No lot
terry ever equalled this. Why the invest
ment is more promising than Maine silver
mines and the working capital even less.
We cannot believe thatan opportunity like
this will be neglected by the shrewd money.
getters of this State. New York may over
look it, but Maine capitalists, SO quick to
take hold of enterprises where much money
is promised and little or none paid, are too
cunning to let such chance pass. Profess
sor Mezzerhoffs prospectus is indeed allur-
ing. Look for instance at one of his under
takings. With the help of twenty
men he promises to destroy Paris in day.
The wealth of that city is almost be-
yond computation. The wages of the men,
doing day-work, cannot be more than a dol
lar-and-a-haf or two dollars each. The
profit can easily be figured by an expert ac-
countapt, and the venture, if it can be called
such, is even more dazzling than Mr.. Ship
herds Peruvian scheme If the Russian
Professor fails to enlist the services of a
New York customs collector or New
Hampshire Senator, let him take a step
farther east and come to Maine where we
spoil good farms in digging for treasures
that do not exist.

A WRITER in the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal gives some of the current superstitions
of Kentucky negroes. If person passes
through funeral procession, he will die be-
fore the Oldest one in it. If dog lies on Its
back and howls, it presages an early death
in the family. If the longest snake killed
in days search be suspended from the
tree nearest TO parched field, it will bring
rain. If it be necessary to turn back after
starting on an errand, the consequent bad
luck may be averted by making cross in
the path with the left forefnger. A stutter-
er may be cured bv creeping up behind him
unawares and knocking him down with
raw beef tongue just taken from the beast
by an unmarried butcher under p years of
age. A bloody knife, bottle of alcohol and
bag of live lizards are an effective outfit
for bewitching an enemy; but the intended
victim is often warned of the danger by an
owls screech close to his cabin. The re-
cipient of poisonous snakes bite drinks
pint of whisky, and then, if sober enough,
kills the first black chicken with white tail
feathers he can find, picks the feathers out
and burns them.

Our readiness to assume that our fields
are the granary of Europe occasionally en-
counters some very stubborn facts. The
Toronto Globe calls attention to the porten-
tous increase in the export of wheat from
India to England in the five months ending
with February. During that period in
1S79-1SS0, the quantity was 1,500,917 bush
els, while shipments in the same time in
1882 came to 9,029,712 bushels, or one
third of the amount we exported and twice
that sent by Russia. India has natural ad-
vantages of soil quite equal to our own, and
decided advantage over us in the cheap
ness of labor. English capital, too, is be-
ing heavily invested in new railroads, and
the freedom of trade between the mother
country and the great dependency makes
easy the interchange of commodities be-
tween them. Our railroads will be masters
of the situation, to decide for or against us.

We have no title deeds to house or lands;
Owners and occupants of earlier dates
From graves forgotten stretch their dusty hauds.
And hold in mortman still their old estates
The spirit world around this world of sense
Floats like an atmosphere, and everywhere
Watts through these earthly mists and vapos dense
A vital breath of more ethereal air.
Our little lives are kept in equpoise
BY opposite attractions and desires;
The struggle of the instinct that enjoys
And the more noble instinct that inspires.
These perturbations, this perpetual jar
OF earthly wants and aspirations high
Come fir I'm the influence of an unseen star,
An undiscovered planet in our sky.
And as the moon from some dark gate of cloud
ThIe ws oer the sea floating bridge OF light
Acre ss whose trembling planks our fancies crowd
Into the realms of mystery and night
So the world of spirits there descends
A dge of light, connecting it with this,
Der hose unsteady floor, that sways and bends,
Wand our thoghts above the dark abyss
