tents itself with, but by means of a success
sion of clearly written descriptions of actual
articles, each accompanied with an engraving

by tales, sketches and poems. An interesting

to our recent article upon Annexation"
urges that Judge Halliburton wrote ''Sam
Slick Of SlickvllIe" several years ago, and
that he did not utter in his own person
the scathing language he put into "Mr.
Slick'sr mouth concering the Nova SEQ
tians. We expressly stated in our article

the purpose of a medium through which
the former told the world of the slothful-
ness and want OF enterprise of the Blue
noses as compared with the Yankees.
1t is amusing to notice the Mail confin-
ing its view of annexation to the limits of
the State of Maine, and exultingly pro-
ducing statistics to show that the Csnadas
are bigger and growing faster than our
State is. We hope the Mail will open its
eyes wide enough 10 see that it is the
United States with which it has to deal in
the matter of annexation, with people of
fifty millions, enterprising and prosperous.
Many of our neighbors over the border
have the capacity to understand the situa-
ton, and are in favor OF annexation; but
of course those who take the limited view
of the Halifax paper cannot be expected
to favor annexation.

DUBLIN, April IA.
OF the 90 persons whom the prosecution
will call on the trial of Curley, three are new
witnesses who will testify that they saw the
accused in Phoenix Park on the day of the
murder. The council for the crown calcu-
lates that the trial of the other prisoners will
last about fortnight. 1t is expected that
three of the murderers will plead guilty.
Although true bills have been returned
against eleven of the prisoners charged with
the Phoenix Park murders, it is believed that
only seven will be tried on capital charge.
1t is stated that Delany and Mccartney
will plead guilty. Peter Carey will depose
on Monday that he was sworn in as an In
vincible by his brother. Kelley will be tried
after Curley.
After the verdict had been rendered against
Joe Brady on Friday. the foreman of the
jury found letter at home making frenzied
appeal for the return of verdict of not
guilty, and warning that otherwise he would
surely be killed.

Senator Edmunds visited the Merchants
Exchange by invitation today and after hold
ing pleasant reception made brief speech
from the rostrum in the main hall. He ex-
pressed great pleasure in viewing the opera
tons of commerce and various business in
terests working together to a common end.
Referring briefly to transportation, he said
we fell an interest in the navigation of yodr
great river As you do and we feel as deeply
the need of exertion by some power,
whether by Legislature or Congress, to reg
ulate transportation, but there must be JUS
tice and fair dealing in such regulation. We
must do justice to those who have placed
their money and brains in enterprises which
have given US an easy way of communication,
as we'll as to ourselves. As long as these means
of communication are kept up so long will
unity and prosperity Of our great nation keep
up.
