CURIOUS FACTS.

The Egyptian farmer with ten acres
of ground pays more tax than an Amer
lean with 100.
In some parts of Minnesota, one can
travel 100 miles and find none but
Swedes; and some of their congrega-
tions number over 200.
A HUGE lemon was recently picked

A WHITE whale killed in the Mediter-
ranean, near st. Tropez, has just been

served In spirits.
A MONSTER elm, recently felled in
Langdon, II. l., was 100 feet high and
sixteen feet in circumference two feet
from the ground. At sixty feet from

BAVARIA has enacted law forbidding
the marriage OF couples who do not
possess sufficient means to maintain
themselves, or who, during the previ-
Gus three years, have received help
from the public funds, or who have not
paid their quota of taxes, or regarding
whom there is reason to suspect that
trouble will result to the household
from the want of sobriety, economy, or
love of work. This law gives the sa-
cred ordinance of marriage the black
est kind of black eye.
NATURE tells of canary that had
been greatly annoyed by the hard
ness OF the bits of cracker thrown into
its cage. One day it lifted piece of
cracker and, taking it to the water
trough, dropped it in and then stirred
it about with its beak until it was in a
condition to be eaten. 1t now puts
every hard substance which it deems
eatable into the water. 1t endeavored
to soften sweets in the same way, but
finding thatthe sweet became gradually
smaller and smaller, it'hastily abstract
ed it, and has never since put anything
OF that character into the water.
A DROVE of over q thousand sheep
was being driven on a road in Indiana.
At depression in the road water was
found TO cover it from fence to fence,
bat little more than the wagon track
being bare. Just as the leader of the
flock reached this spot a large black
water-snake crossed the track. The
leading wether stopped short, and the
entire space was soon blocked full. In
a moment q dog came bounding over
the backs of the sheep, and, dropping
down between the water holes, took the
leading wether by the ear. giving him q
a gentle pull. He sprang INTO the air,
clearing the narrow space between the
water holes, followed by the entire
flock, the dog not leaving the track till
the whole drove had passed.

It may not be amiss to state here the re-
ligious history of the youth of the Hon.
James q. Blaine, as it was repeatedly given
to us by his mother and his sister. His
mother. Mrs. Blaine, has been always a de-
voted Catholic, as were all the members OF
the Gillespie family. But she married o
Protestant, and for many years after the
marriage her husband remained Protest
ant He even held the maxim that while
his wife might teach the daughters as she
wished, the sons for his sake should be Left
untrammeled to chose their own faith. The
eldest James q. was at an early age sent to
Protestant college, where he spent several
years. and where his religious opinions
were formed. Mrs. Blaine never ceased to
regret the course her son was being made
to take, but her protests were unavailing, as
her husband persisted in his own determi-
nation. Young James had been baptized in
his infancy, but he never made his first
communion, or received any other sacra-
ment, and, in view of his college infu-
ences, he cannot be said to have ever been
willfrflly recreant to the faith of his bap-
tism. His brothers never left home to re-
ceive their education. and they were al
ways, as they are to-day, Catholics. The
father Mt later day became convert, and
lived afterward an exemplary Catholic. We
recall these facts simply that we may give
correct and authentic statement in the case,
as it has been SO often presented in differ
ent and untruthful colorings. James G..
Blaine was always most faithful son and
brother; his mother and sister we're devot-
edly attached to him, and were constantly
receiving from him marks Of truest affec-
ton. They never blamed him for not be-
ing Catholic. az they understood too well
the circumstances amid which he had been
placed, and which we're such as to preclude
him from all Catholic influences. Paul

Cleveland is going around with the wrong
trade mark on his back. He has always
been in favor of honest money and opposed
to fat money. He was in favor of every
movement looking to the prosecution of the
war. He hasn't breathed Democratic
breath since he was born. Some one has
branded him Democrat, and he thinks he
is Democrat. think he will be disap-
rointment to every unpatriotic Democrat.
He is thoroughly honest, and SO far as he
can control his party his administration will
nos; eriously interfere with the business in
tefcsts of the county; but he can't control
tho party. He will lose caste with his own
party, not because the Democrats are I'M
patriotic. but because they are in n hurry to
get the Offices. think he will be in trouble
in about year, and only the Republicans
will be in favor of him and his adminisira-
tion.-Emeru A. Storrs.

THE FENIANS SUSPECTED.
The Government is understood to have
information connecting the Fenian brother
hood with the Northwest rebellion, and will
make il subject of international CORE
spondence with the United States authori-
ties. A rumor is current that they supplied
money to carry on warlike operations.
Twenty-Five private detectives have been
dispatched to various American cities and
points on the American border in the i'm
medinte vicinity OF the trouble.
TENDER OF SERVICES.
Many kilograms have been received from
Canadians in the United States offering
their services In the event of any further
trouble, and militia organizations in various
provinces have telegraphed their wiling
ness to proceed to Carleton on q moments
notice. The feeling is general that the
Metis should be wiped out They have
been treated with every consideration by
the Government in the past, and by their
action have destroyed all sympathy. A
message was received from the Imperial
war authorities last evening inquiring about
the extent of the rebellion.
