Discontent i'm the Northwest.

TORONTO, April 2a-The Globe, In an editorial on
the discomfort In the northwest, says: There Is
still danger OF serious trouble In Manitoba and the
northwest. The oppression OF the tartn, the op-
preston of railroad monopoly and the great inJus
t1ce done by the disallowance OF provincial rail-
way charters and the injury done to all interests
by the mismanagement OF lands have produced a
feeling OF Irritation and determination TO obtain
redress OF which the resolution passed by the
Manitoba legislature Is the 1rst serious outcome.

offered be unsatisfactory they are resolved 70 carry
their complaints 70 the foot OF the throne. The

CAUSE FOR ALARM.-A young man

glass of liquor every morning before break

An old friend advised him to quit before

"Hardly," replied the other. "But am

appetite for food. 1 could eat no break
fast and was nervous and trembling all day.
I was alarmed when l realized how insld-
uously the habit had fastened on me, and

Wanted to Cut jeff. Davis Throat.
The Reidsville, IN. C.) Times prints th


following:
Capt. Jim Andrews, of the Piedmont
warehouse, of this town, is one of the clev-
crest citizens in the town or in the country.
He made narrow escape in the summer of
1862 while aboard the cars near the town of
Henderson by having his throat raked at
with pOcket-knife, in being mistaken for
President Davis and he bears the scars yet
and will take them to the grave. 1t hap
pened thus: The train was full of soldiers,
it was just dark, and the light burned dim
ly, and there was a tall, slim, black-haired,
black-whiskered man in soldiers clothes
aboard who was very noisy, either drunk or
half crazy, who was disturbing the whole
train. Finally, Dave Maloy, of this coun-
ty, full of his Irish fun, said to him: 'sLook
here, my friend, you'd better keep quiet, or
you'll be arrested; the president of the con-
federacy is aboard this car p
SIS jeff Davis on this train ? Show me
the id old scOundrel 70 said the crank.
Dave pointed him to Capt. Andrews, who
sat to the side with his head leaning back
asleep. The fellow said nothing, but pass
ed through the car. Finally he entered
again cursing and roaring and holding a
common size pocket knife with his fingers
closed to about an inch from the tip of the
open blade. AS he approached, bis loud
cursing partly aroused Capt. Andrews,
when, stopping where he sat, the crank said
to him in loud voice, "You have ruined
me ~ and made dash at his throat, He
cut through the thick linen collar and then
square across his throat, and had it not been
for Mr.. Honeysuckle, who sat by him and
knocked up his arm, he would undoubtedly
have killed him. The crank then cut Mr..
Lawrence's hand badly who was on the way

ing up for Henderson he leaped from the
train and ran like deer--but not before Dave
Maloy had fred couple of heavy slugs at
bin, and if he hadn't thought Capt. An
drews was dying and was bound to go to
him, he would have pursued him and killed
him. Nothing more was ever heard of the
crank. Capt. Andrews has the scars on his
throat. He is leading member of the Pres.
byterian church of this place.

THE BEST WIFE OF ALL.
BY LILLE E. ARR.

I.
Three travellers met in the Brander Pass,
By the bubbling Brander Spring:
They shared their cake and their veniscn,
And they talked of many thing;
OF books, and song. and foreign lands,
Ofstrange and wandering lives,
And by and by, in softer tone.
They spoke of their homes and wives.
II.
II married the Lady O. Logan Brae,'
Said one with lofty air;
"There isna in a. the North countree
A house WI a better share
OF gold and gear, and hill and loche,
OF houses and farms to rent;
There's many a man has envied me,
And I'm mair than weel content"
"Dream of a woman as bright as day."
The second traveller said;
"Dream of form of perfect grace,
Ola noble face and head.
OF eyes that are as blue as heaven,
Off1owing nut brown hair;
That is my wife; and though not rich,
Oh! she is wondrous fair
".
1.-THE third one said: II have a wife,
She is neither rich nor fair;
She has not gold. nor gear, nor land,
Nor a wealth of nut-brown hair;
But, oh she loves me and her love
Has stood through every test,
Beauty and gold are good. but, friends,
We know that love is best.'
".
They filled their cups in the spring again.
And they said right heartily
"Here's to the loving, faithful wife!
Wherever her home may be-"
And soon they took their different ways,
One thought in each mans breast -
:Beauty is good, and gold is good,
But true love is the best"

RECEIPT FOR GRATING WAx.-To make
grating wax, take 4 pounds of resin, 2
pounds beeswax, pound tallow; melt well
together in kettle; then pour enough of
the mixture to make roll of convenient
size into pail of cold water; rub the hands
well with tallow, to prevent the wax stick
ing to them; then work the wax until white.
When made in rolls of convenient size it is
ready for use. By little exposure to the
sun it can be easily applied to the stock
that has been grated with the hands. Try
it, and you will use no other.

AREZOEA'S INSANE.

Mr.. S. D. Lount, who returned on
Saturday evening last from trip to
Stockton with an insane man, does
not give a very hattcring account of
the institution which has the care
Of Arizons's insane, at least so far
as he had time to observe. The man
receiving the patient proved to be
too drunk to talk intelligibly. and
on inquiry for DR.. Clark, SAID he
would "do for DR.. Clark" Whether
the man receiving the patient as
one of the proprietors or superin-
tendent or some other employee of
the Langdon i Clark asylum, Mr..
Lount does not know.
If the individual found in charge
of the asylum by Mr.. Lount is a
sample of the men whose tender
cares are extended. over the poor,
unfortunate creatures which Arizona
sends there for careful keeping and
scientific treatment. it is high time,
if there is any humanity in the great
Territory Of Arizona, that she be
providing an institution of the kind
for herself, or that at least she seek
some other asylum. A good round
price is being paid by the Territory
for the keeping of her insane, a
price that should insure them the
very best treatment and other &C
c. mmodatienS, and sober men to
handle them.
The whole matter ought to be in
vesiigsted at once, but as matters
now stand nothing can he done be-
