The Chiefs Overdose.

Seamen have to encounter the pe1lls
Of the land as wells as those Of the ocean.
When sailing among islets of the south
ern Pacific, whose superstitlous inhabi-
tants are as tickie as the inconstant wind,
they wear their lives ON their sleeves.
The slightest mistake may turn the
friends of to day into the foes of to-
morrow. Not many years ago, a whaler,
cruising in the south Pacific, luffed up
to a little island in order TO fill the al
most empty water-caSks. The natives,
who were on the shore IN great numbers,
were seen beating their br casts and utter
ing mournful cries. Several of them
swan off to the ship and made the cap
tain understand that some important
person was sick and in need of medical
treatment. He being a kind-hearted
man, invited them by signs to bring the
sick person on board. Trey needed the
invitation and brought off the king of
The island, who bad not been Ill long
enough for the wailing G and the beating
of TOM toms to produce fatal results.
The captain gave the chief a small dose
of one of those cure-alls," usually kept
in a ships medicine. chest. The medi-
cine, the absence of the tom toms, and
the faith of the sufferer wrought speedy
Improvement On the following even
ing the captain thought it safe to allow
him to return, not, however, until he
had given him bottle of the medicine
to be used in case Of ret2rn of the sick
ness. That night the chief had another
attack. Thinking that ii small dose
bad partly relieved him, larger one
would effect complete cure, he poured
the contents of the bottle down his
throat Alas! the calculations even of
the great of this world are not always
correct. The next morning the chief
was a corpse. The captain, suspecting,
from the ominOus stiffness, that some
thing was wrong, took the precaution OF
slowing firearms into the boat that wss
to tow off the water casks. 1t had scarce
cy touched the shore when the natives
attacked the crew, who by tue creates
expedition were scarcely able TO Iegain
the ship; which at once set sail and de-
parted. The captain never revisited the
island. lie learned that another whaler,
putting in there for water, was mistaken
for his vessel, and several of its crew
severely wounded, before the natives
discovered their error. The natives had
carefully kept the bottle, thinking it an
instrument of sorcery, because. though
heavy, it could not be made to sink.

Bought for a Jackass,

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Advertiser has some interesting
gossip about the ownership of the Rogers
House, near the White House. Henry
Clay used to own the lot on which 1t
stands. He was especially devoted to
bis Ashland farm and the live stock upon
it. One day old Commodore John Rog-
ers came home from the Mediterranean
with his naval vessel full of live stock
which he had picked up abroad. The
cargo included one fine Anaalusian lack
ass. Clay wanted 1t for his farm. All
his offers were rejected, until one day
the commodore said IN joke: "You can
have him for your lot opposite the White
House" Done" was Claws reply.
and the animal was shipped of to Ken
lucky. The commodore built the now
historic house, which Secretary Seward
occupied during the war. Here PAYNE

night when President Lincoln was shot.
The lot is now valued at $40 600.

the right hand side of the lobby as you

fact that he was once speaker. The

A Richly Subsidized Road.
[From the Chicago Tribune.


The United States did much to get a
railway built to the Pacific, and whole
tones have been written condemning the
land-grants that were made, the entire
being denounced as an un-
precedented piece of extravaganza. 1t
appears that the Canadian Government
has outdone the United States making
Iand-grapts and conferring other benefits
upon It's Pacific road. The Canadian
Pacific Railway Company is one Of the
richest corporations III the world. 1t
started out with grant of 756 miles Of
road built and in operation; another
grant of $4,000, 900 acres of land, said TO
be worth on the average So per acre,
and q government guarantee of the clear
gift of SO, 900, 900, to be paid by In
stallments, so much upon the completion
If each section of twenty miles. Its
charter exempts the road, equipment,
and capital stock from taxes forever, and
It has free right of way, with all the ma
terials for construction and equipment
free from duty. The whole mileage to
be built nv the company is less than 2, 400
miles. The eastern half of it will not
cost more than S15, 900 a mile, or S1S,-
OOO. 600. TIE western half, including
passage through two ranges of noun
tains, may cost an average OF S35, 900 a
mile, or $40, 900, ,000-a total probable
cost of $50, 900, 600, of which the gov
ernment pays 225, 900, 600, leaving for
the company but $50, ,000,0 900, which T.
OOO. 900 acres of their Immigrant from
Winnipeg westward viii pay. They will
then have left their entire capital stock
and $1,000, 600 acres of land for

branches and equipment, ard for the
creation of connecting lines Of steam
ships from Montreal to Europe at the
east, and from Port Moody with Aus

vest.

FREE TRADE.

Hon. Ed. Russell's speech Oh Free
Trade at the Court House last Friday
night was not very largely attended,
bu: was closely listened to. Viewed
from either "A free trade or protection
stand point, it was not strong. He
dealt in sweeping assertions that to
the ordinary mind require some proof.
Richards, Gordon, Boyle, Acres, and
others of our own town could have
presented the subject in stronger
light. DR.. J. w. Scott will reply to
Russell's. speech next Friday night at
the court house. Some of our free
traders have signified their intention
of being present to keep up the free
trade side, and as this may be the be-
ginning of an interesting discussion of
this great subject, We advise all to be
present.

BEkcHER AT FORT SCOTT.

We must confess to a little thrill of
excitement at the prospect of hearing
the great Brooklyn preacher and We
must confess, also, to little surprise,
if not disappointment, in the reality.
One of the most entertaining parts
of the lecture to US was the ten min
utes before his introduction to the au-
dience, when the lecturer sat on the
platform conversing with the presi-
dent of the evening-affording good
opportunity to study his personnel.
He is altogether extraordinary in ap-
pearanee. George Eliot's face was
said to resemble that of a horse.
Beecher's plainly gives one the impress
sion of some kind Of an animal outside
of the genus homo, but We are unable
to determine the animal. When
he talked there was a peculiar fluff
ness of the cheeks that gave one the
impression of something loose, and
his ponderous laugh seemed simply
a relaxation of the muscles, without
mirth or jollity, but comical enough
in itself. He is about medium height
but looks low from excessive corpUlen-
cy. When he began to speak, his
voice was exceedingly unpleasant.
He seemed suffering from a severe
cold in the head. This quality was
not entirely lost throughout the leo
ture, but became much less noticeable.
If one looks for impressive "fiights"
from Beecher, he will be disappointed.
For the most part his lecture of Tues
day night was plain lecture room
talk-this, too, on a subject fairly
eloquent in itself, "The Reign of the
Common People, He stood with his
hands slightly extended before him,
making little emphasizing gestures
now and then, talking in an ordinary
conversational tone. Occasionally,
however, a strong, full gesture, accom-
panied by stamp of the foot, fairly
startled the spell-bound audience, and
drove home some telling truth. AT
such times the massive face took on a
aook OF majestic power, that made one
forget that it was undeniably coarse.
But the power behind the throne
with Beecher is the impression ofre-
served force that he gives, the tre-
mendous moral power that inheres in
him. and invests everything he says
with the stamp of authority. We can
give no resume Of his lecture. It'll
was comprehensive, almost rambling. |
His subject gave him an opportunity
to touch every period of history. and
every phase of human life.
