The Elephant and The lam.
An amusing incident is related Of Or
toms Circus-while exhibiting recently
in a town en- route. The, jam at the night
exhibition was simply tremendous. ALI
the seats were taken and standing room
was at a premium, and as the surging
mass Of humanity deserted the. animal
tents for the arenic enclosure, the circus
ring was forced full of those who were
crowded thither unable to find, standing
room elsewhere. The manager announc-
ed that the performance would not COON
until the ring was cleared, but itiseemedI
impossible for those inside the arena to.
move elsewhere. The police were APP
pealed to, but with no better success
Finally the big elephant was turned loose
into the ring, and the frightened mass
disappeared outside the circle, and after
nearly an hours delay the program was
continued. The Big Show will have an
other jam at Eaton, WEDNESDAY, May
31st.

Cherbourg FortificatiOns,

Cherbourg is 3 city of 10000 inhabit-
ants, situated on the northern extremity
of the peninsula of the Cotentin. 1t is
the principal naval port and dockyard of
France. The docks have been excavated
in the rock. France has left nothing
undone to secure at this point. project
ing into the channel, a naval arsenal
and port. The Notifications are on a
s%tupendous scale. Twenty-four forts
and redoubts surround the town, in ad-
dition to six batteries on the mole. The
dockyard was designed by Vauban, and
it was commenced by Louis XVI. Ma
poleon l. contributed something toward
its completion. Louis Philippe did
more, and Napoleon LII. nearly COM
pleted the work. France has been COM
PEELED, at a prodigious expense, to exoa-
Yate out of the rocks, docks and tidal
basins. These comprise an area of forty
eight acres of deep water, accessible by
the largest war vessels at all times of the
tide. The roads of Cherbourg are pro-
tected on three sides by land. but are
exposed to the north. 1t has been a
favorite project of every French Govern
ment since that of Louis XVI. to remedy
this by throwing a breakwater across the
mouth of the bay. The Bourbons, the
Republic, the Empire and the others
successfully aimed at = scheme which
would secure to France a strong harbor
on this part of her coast. Now the
breakwater, LA Digue," is finished.
1t extends over two miles across h bay.
leaving an opening at each end of about
one mile for the entrance and exit for
vessels. The base of the Digue is 80
feet in width. At either end is a light
house as well as forts, which command
the entrances; in the middle is the fort
central. Guns may be mounted all along
the Digue. The aggregate expense of
the works at C~herbourg is more than

Care Of Grass Lands.

The present seems to be a favorable
season in which to offer a useful sugges-
ton in reference to the treatment of grass
lands. 1t is true that farmers have quite
enough to attend to in properly curing
and storing the crop already grown,
without spending time in preparing for
any future crop. Practical suggestions
in reference to the treatment of meadows
will carry force to the mind of the farmer
if the evils to be remedied are present.
A farmer in doing his haying cannot
help seeing the crop of foul weeds that
should not be allowed in his meadow.
If there is a new meadow not properly
seeded, which could have been remedied
ere loss resulted, then it is proper that
such an inferior meadow should receive
some thought from the farmer during
haying. During haying is the best time
in which to consider methods of improve
ment. Defects and weak spots in his
system of farming are quite as much APP
parent at this season as at any time dur
ing the year.
1t may be wellto give some thoughtto
the question of the quantity of n

our meadows. I know of meadows that
have eve received an application of
any kind of manure during the last ten
years. All meadows treated in this way
are very susceptible to the evil effects of
what is called ga bad season." The
usual manner of top-dressing meadows
is little better than the practice of not
top-dressing at all. In many cases the
quantity of fertilizers applied is not half
enough to accomplish the object desired.
The application is also made but once in
three OF four years. Often barnyard
is not in proper shape to use. 1
have travelled yer meadows often dur
ing haying, where the horse-rake gath
cred up great quantities of h~af-rotten
straw and sun-dried chips of manure
which were hauled to the barn with the
hay. All this can be avoided. 1t may
seem to be- useless and unreasonable
task to work over the anu heap at
least twice before it is hauled to the field
to be used. l know that few farmers
perform this extra labor, their reasons
for not doing it being lack of time, and
they do not see wherein it would pay.
The one great and immediate return
to be expected from top-dressing with
well fined manure, is that the growing
crop will assimilate all the the

to fall-feed their meadows. AS pastures

resolution is broken. l ana unable to see
wherein it can injure a meadow to past

ton. But if the meadow is in poor con-

Australian Bush. Tracking.

An extraordinary instance of the pow
ers of Australian bushmen in tracking
is reported from Carcoar. On Monday
morning, January 80, a Mrs. Green,
living at Mile-post Creek, in the Carcoar
district, had occasion to go away to her
neighbours leaving her child, aged two
years and six months, in bed, believing
it would not attempt to get up during
her absence. In this Mrs. Green was
mistaken, for on her return the child
could not be found and the fact of its
only being clothed in a little night-gown
caused the parents more anxiety, es-
pecially as it was a fiercely hot day. ?
search was made by the neighbors,
assisted by a man named Judd, noted
as a clever tracker, who followed slowly
on the infants tracks (Which were at
times lost in the scrubl for about thirty
hours, when the little thing was found,
safely quartered in a hollow log twelve
miles from it's home. The child was
somewhat sunburnt, but otherwise quite
wel.-Brts6Gne Courier.

Brave Boys at Niagara.

Last week a party of Germans stopping at
the Frontier House, Suspension Bridge, among
whom was Morits Wilmer, a wealthy brewer
from Sexton, Germany, visited the maid of
the Mist" landing for the purpose of taking a
bath. At this point, it will be remembered, the
current is very rapid, and to one not accus-
toned to the place it is perilous to venture in.
Mr.. Wilmer, knowing nothing of the waters
depth, or the swiftness of the current, got cut
too far, and would have been carried down
the rapids but for the timely assistance rem
dered by two lads, named Henry and
William Rodgers, sons of Mr.. Henry
Rodgers, of the Canadian Customs House at
Clifton, who arrived upon the scene as the
man was sinking for the third time; the boys
seeing the man in DANCE at once jumped into
the water, and after a hard struggle succeeded
in rescuing him. William was the first to
reach the drowning man, who grasped him by
the neck with a death grip and drew him un
der. Henry had by this time reached the
scene, and, diving, managed to release the
drowning mans hold of his brother, afte,
which the boys succeeded in getting him
ashore, the whole party being thoroughly ex-
hausted. Witnesses of the affair say it was
one of the most gallant rcscues ever performed
on the Niagara R.ver.-NldJarG Falls Gazette.

A daisy droops from the sun-browned hand

Wait Just a mOment, he's turning now
i want to see the Majors face.
Scanned. you wonder, with saber slash?
Scared where the battle lightnings broke
Trimmed with grizzled, fierce mustache?
Eyes as keen as the saber stroke?
Ha, hal Now look at the oval face,
tripping with laughter from brow to chin;
Touched with the sweetest. fairest grace
Only the angels could blend it in.
Purity lightens the thoughtful eyes,
And the rosebud mouth in its dimpies lies,
3tuddy ripe with its sweets of love.
In love with the Major? EyeryoneI
Loving troopers of his we be;
Bearer than oil else under the sun
He Is loved by his grown-up troop of thrcc.
Ali day he marches us; for his sake
We fight the iegions of sin and care;
A fortress strong of our hearts We make.
And hide him way from his enemies there.
We Join our shields DER the Majors head,
When the charging column comes sweeping
And we post our pickets about the bed,
To guard his sleep whom the day is gone.
With prayers and love we hedge him in,
Our daring soldier, SO young and bold,
To keep him safe from the darts of Sin
Till bis five sweet years be five times told.
But the battle will come. some future day,
When they will fall on other fields,
And the Majors troopers, old and gray,
Will be brought home on their dinted shields.
But he'll lovingly think when alone ~hestands,
When the battle is hard and help is slow,
And the good sword turns In his weary hands,
OF the soldiers who Tough for him long ago.
Help him, oh God, when he fights alonel
Great be his strength as his days demand;
Till he lays of his armor before the throne,
And enters his rest in the Promised Land.
