A rich farmer and his wife living

gethcr in unity for 40 years, and becom
ing responsible lor no fewer than IS chill

conclusion that their tempers were in

assist them. During the afternoon SEES
sion each made conciliatory speech,
affirming that his client was susceptible
to those kindly sentiments which adorn
humanity, and the judge followed with
a pathetic admonition. AT this point the
husband Strengthened himselfin his chair

The October number of the American
Review has an interesting article on
safety in railroad travel" The facts
and figures are very reassuring to the
thousands who travel by rail. The
number of persons carried every year
over the railroads in this country are
$4,000, 900, of whom but l 800 meet with
injuries and 40 are killed. There were
more people killed each year fifty years
ago in Massachusetts by accidents to
stage coaches than are now by railroads,
notwithstanding the increase in travel.
In that state, where the statistics have
been carefully made up for ten years
past, there have been carried 10000,
600 persons, of which number but 5S1
were injured, and of these only 1S2 ia
tally. Safety is increased by the intro
duction of modern inventions. such as
the air-brakes, electrical signals, inter-
locking switches and the block system
of signals. There have also been great
improvements in the road-beds, thus
enabling trains to run at high rate of
speed with safety.

Tom C0rHin's Lament,

Thomas Corwin, whose biography has
just been published, was one of the drollest
of men and one of the most captivating of
stump orators. But he lamented the facil-
lty with which he moved the risibles of the
people, and toward the close of his life he
said: "Never make the people laugh. It
is easy and captivating. but death in the
long run to the speaker. Do you know,
my young friend, that the world has con-
tempt for the man that entertains it. One
must be solemn-solemn as an ass-never
say anything that is not uttered with the
greatest gravity, 10 WIN respect. Inc
world looks up to the teacher and down at
the clown; yet, in nine cases out of ten,
the clown is the best fellow of the two. I"
There are not many stump orators of the
present day who need to take the hint.
Most of them are as solemn as asses and
as wise as owls

FOREIGN NEWS NOTES.

The car of all the Russias played it low
down on the anxious and confiding mills
patriots in way they despise. 1t was dis
ents in St. Petersburg that the car had su
denly recovered from his cowardice and had
been taking daily rides in an open caleche
on the public streets. However, Just as his
partisans were in ecstacies over this refuta-
ton of the charge of cowardice on the part
of the emperor, it was discovered that the
bold rider was only wax figure, skillfully
made to represent the ruler of all the Rus
sias, and that the real ruler was miles away
in the security of his boiler iron-lined-lock
palace. The nihilisIs are naturally indig-

The United Ireland says that Parnell has
cabled Mooney, president of the National
Land league of America, that he will at the
conference advise the adoption of prece-

it believes this expresses the unanimous
opinion of the Irish leaders and declares the
foo ish chatter about dissensions absolutely
baseless.
Bishop Walsh of London, Ont, who ha
ust returned from Ireland, Sunday, in St.
Peters cathedral, referred to the Irish ques-
ton. He condemned in scathing terms ag-
rarian crimes, but quoted statistics to show
that there is less crime in Ireland proper
tionally than in England, Scotland or Wales.
While opposing the disintegration of the
empire, the bishop favored home rule for
Ireland similar to that enjoyed by Canada.
Thirty-eight persons have been poisoned
in London, Ontario, from eating head-cheese

ers are very low, but it is supposed all will
recover.
