The Decay OF Will Power.

Strong wills are becoming as rare as
healthy physical organizations. The
world is ''fussy," but only because
humanity is working itself too much.
Brain tissue has increased; but healthy,
vigorous thought has diminished. Al
fectations have become realities, and
realities alterations. A toothacho
converts us into invalids, where our
ancestors laughed at the govt. We
have beaten The gold leaf so thin that
it has lost its own color, and shines
out with a CHASTITY green light. Senti-
ment has carried us past common
sense; we have had such a terror of
the flesh that we have cultivated brain
at the expense of motive tissue, and
too heavy for the dwarf legs to bear.
Emotions have been refined, but not
improved; brain has increased, but
strong, vigorous action has diminish
ed. Education has become ditfused,
but what the many have gained the
select few have lost; and though there
are an abundance of readers, the race
of prophets have died out. Suicide
has increased because viii and healthy
thoughts have diminished. 1t is a
disease born OF modern alterations,
of the disappearance of that sclf-con-
troll and self-respect that are better
than carloads of mock sentiment and
morbid melancholy. Aside from the
responsibility of insanity, an unsuc-
cessful self-murderer needs a large
dose of iron and a large dose of the
whip; and to crush Il all future at
tempts needs a strong lose of tho
treadmill. In q certain sense nature
uses suicide to rid The world of fools;
but it is, nevertheless, a blot upon
civilization, and a warning that there
is a limit to all things, even to human
progress. Humanity has made a rapid
journey towards perfection; but the
point has been now reached when
rest and relaxation becomes a neces-
sity. We have conquered worlds; let
us now return for awhile to the old
Greek proverb, and try to conquer
ourselves. Boston Gazette.

Pounding of the Pugilist.

Saturday Review.
That there are great and g%reyious OBJ.
j~ections to it no one need dispute; but
the objections are not by any means
such s are popularity entertained by
those persons who cry out most loudly
against it. Nothing can for instance,
be more absurd than to suppose that the
physical pain or torture" suffered by
pugilists in the ring is materially great
er than that endured by men who en-
gage in other severe bodily competi-
tions. When n man is pitted against
another in any prolonged trial of
strength and endurance, combined with
skill, the evil which he fears, and which
eventually makes him or his opponent
succumb, is purely and simply the feel
ing OF utter exhaustion by which he is
procluded from continuing the struggle.
Compared with this deadly sensation,
which for the time pr~ostrates all pow
ers of the body, all minor pains and
griefs sink into quite q subordinate
place. Compared with it the spur and
the whip feel like fee bites to q race
horse, the blisters of the rowing
man become m insignificant mat.
ter, and in like manner the hard
knocks received by the fighting man
are regarded with fear, not because OF
the mere pain they cause, bdt because
Of the fact that they take out Of him SC
much Of his remaining force. No one
of course likes to be smitten on the
nose or in the mouth. The sensation is
unpleasant even to the most hardened
pugilist; for the theory that familiarity
breeds contempt is hardly more true Of
the fighter and his wounds that it is Of
the storied cells and their sufferings
while undergoing the process of faying.
But to suppose that a pugilist strikes
mis- flag, or more properly speaking,
throws up his sponge, because he findl
that his nose is becoming sore, Or be
cause he feels u pain in his ribs, is tt
mistake altogether the whole character
of q contest of strength between two
highly trained Englishmen. The
punishment" received in the ring diff
fers in kind, but not in essence, from
the punishment suffered by q running
man, when after doing all he knows
he feels his strength ebbing away, ant
falls back out of Their o because nature
refuses HIM tho force necessary to re
tain the lead. The best judges as t,
the "inhnmanity" of a fight, as far a
tho principals are concerned, must sure
~ be the principals themselves; an,
not N Of them will say that they Sc
any mo inhumanity in it than in
long distance race.

Suddenly, on the still night air rang
the shrill cry of fire, and at the same
moment the little licking tongue OF
fame, whose light play along the roofs
edge had caught the eye of the mid
night watcher, leaped forth, no longer
playful, but fierce and angry in its
thirst and greed. Like glowing, snaky
demons, the lurid links entwined the
doomed building; in venemous misses
and spurts the flame shot into the over
hanging darkness, while from every
window and door poured a dense sui
phurous smoke, tile deadly, suffocatine
breath of an imprisoned tiend."

New Proverbs.

A white lie often told makes a black

It's apoor musician who can't blow
his W trumpet.
He who would eat the egg must first
break the shell.
Every back has Its pack.
The man who wishes to continue
believing in his friends should never
put them to the proof.
Look after your wife never mind

Men love women, women love man.
The surest road to honor is to de-

French Canadians Petition The Gev-
 ernor General For . Communications
 Secretary Bayard Asked To Lend His
 Influence By Canadians On This
 Side of The Line.
 WINNIPEG, MAN., August 30-According to agreement made in Lower Canada among prominent French Canadians an agitation in favor of securing communication of Riel's sentence has been commenced. Public meetings are being held inFrench municipal ities and addresses are made by French poli- .Ssians. A petition to go before the Gov ernor General, with the following clause, is being circulated:-
 The petitioners, in view of the gravity of the offence and the circumstances relat- ing to it, believe that it is in the interests of justice and public order that all necessary delays be granted, so as to have the case ex amined by the Manitoba Court of Appeal and the Privy Council in England, if neces- sary, with the object of deciding the question of the jurisdiction of the court which tried and condemned him. The evidence taken established seri- ous doubts as to the sanity of the con- demned man. There is every reason to be- Heve that the commendation of the prisoner by the jury to the mercy of the court was due to doubt as to Riel's sanity. Where fore the petitioners pray Your Excellency to grant all necessary delays and respite the prisoner till the case is fully decided, so that the government won't be responsible for hanging fool. Also that a commission of aliens be appointed to investigate the case, examine the condemned man and state his mental condition.
 Counter petitions are being circulated in the province.
 ROCHESTER, N. Y., Aug. 30-A meeting of.French Canadians was held in this city to- day to take action on the trial and sentence of Louis Riel. After several ringing ad dresses had been delivered creating much en- thusiasm petition was read and signed by alfpresent. It is addressed to the Hon. T. F. Bayard, Secretary of State of the United States.
