Hartford Post Canada is to be serious ly divided on the question of Riel's execu- ton, and it would not be surprising if there were outward disturbances of san- guinary nature before the matter is finally settled. The French Canadians, the strong Roman Catholic population of the Domin- ion, are very urgent that Riel should be pardoned, while the Orangemen, who are intense in their loyalty to the queen, are equally urgent that the sentence upon Riel shall be faithfully executed. No matter which way the government turns in considering the ''taking off" of this "crank, :" for he is little else, it will find it. self in conflict with a large part of the Ga nadian people. Besides, when Catholic and Orangemen are much interested, the Battle of the Boyne must be rehearsed, and oftentimes with clubs and firearms.

NEW YORK city has no monument to the memory of its fallen soldiers of 1861-65. When she has raised funds to pay for the pedestal of the statue that France gave to her, and for the monument over the grave she gave to Gen. Grant as business spec ulation, perhaps, if she will hump herself and spend her money liberally in sending begging circulars to the little country towns that pay for their own monuments and oth- CT architecture, she may provide herself with a monument to her citizen soldiery who fell in the war of the rebellion.

THE agricultural societies are already beginning to advertise that 'no gambling nor sale of liquors will be permitted on their grounds '' but as most of them regu- larly and openly violate their agreement thus made with the public the announce ments do not convince the public that these fairs are to be suitable places for de- cent people to visit. The Stafford society first taught the other societies that cattle shows could be conducted decently and in order, and since then various societies copy so far as to assure the public that they will do likewise. But the public will not stand it to be cheated too often. The toleration of the evils of gambling and liquor selling on other grounds gives trou- ble to the Stafford society, which is every year visited by bad characters, who offer great prices to be permitted to do upon its grounds as they are permitted to do on the grounds of other societies which advertise to exclude them. The immense attend ance at the Stafford fair makes them anxious to get the privilege of setting up their nefarious traffic upon the grounds, and to attempt to do business on the sly when permission is refused. When will the other societies unite in an honest en- deavor to suppress these evils, and thus invite the attendance of the excellent class of people to be seen at the Stafford fairs so different from the average attendants at such places?

CEN. GRANT was laid to rest in his tenn porary tomb at Riverside Park on Satur- day. The details have been given minute ly by the daily press, and read ere this by nearly every body. It was a great day in New York, the city being thronged with people, and the miles of distance traversed by the procession, black with people, every inch of sidewalk, window and roof being used. Yet it was day of decorum and sadness, and in no sense a gala occasion. No one forgot that it was funeral. In the line were the president and most of the governors of the United States. No statesman of national fame was absent who could well have been there. The army contributed its most famous generals. The living confederate generals, who became most famed by fighting against Grant, were in the line as sincers mourners over his decease. It was the largest and most com plete gathering of the famous men of the republic ever seen. And not in New York alone-all over the country bells were toll ed and funeral orations uttered. It was a funereal day with the nation as mourner in chief,

To a tree and then left alone; for it was

As the people went sadly back 10 their
homes. saved to them only by such an

dashed right into the wood, unheed

the maiden's side just as the
monster was about To sieze her. We will
not describe the conflict which ensued. but
il is enough to say that the knight was the
victor and bore the girl back To her fathers
house in triumph.

The Prudent Fly.
Texas Siftings.


Once upon time flies flew into kitchen
through the window. They were looking
for something nice to eat. but they were not
particular. They were willing to put up
with anything they could find.
The first fly took sip at some dough
which the cook had left in the pan. 1t
tasted very nice, but in short time the un-
fortunate insect was racked with dreadful
pain in his abdomen. and in a short time he
could not stand the alum with which the
-four had been carefully adulterated.
The second fly took sip at some coffee
dregs, and Immediately his head began ia
swim. and he experienced sensation OF
nausea. After few fearful contOrtions,
the fly held up his legs, and was relieved
from his sufferings by death. Oxide OF
iron. with which the coffee was adulterated
was more than the fly constitution could
stand.
