ACanadian Fishing village

The change from the Brunswick to
the Quebec shore Is like crossing from
Dover to Calais, writes a correspond
ent of the New York Tribune from
Perce, province ofQuebec. The heavy
fishing boats with POmpeiian red sails
which are seen along the coast are
manned by French fishermen. Numer-
Gus fences crossing the strip of cleared
land above the shore are a sign of
French-Canadian conservatism. When
the father dies his little farm is subdi-
vided among the sons and each fences
in his narrow belt OF land. The other
day an acre was thus divided among
four. Each quarter acre will be ieal
Ously fenced in, with a hut in front
and a potato patch in the rear. The
French-Canadian fisherman and the
habitant or small farmer have many
points in common, but they are differ
entiated by their environments, from
which the figure of the fisherman gains
additional plctuIesqueness. And his
background Is nowhere more effective
than in the quaint little village named
from the great Rocher Perce. Sixteen
hours out from Dalhousie, New Bruins
wick, the steamer swings into Perce
Bay, and makes fast to buoy.
There are no wharyes. and travellers
with their luggage tumble over the
steamers side into a boat, which is
pulled through breakers and cleverly
beached amid an awful smell of fish.
Dry Goldfish yertebrH crackle under
foot. Men standing at tables behead,
disembowel, and split Goldfish with en-
thusiasm and dispatch. An OK har-
messed and yoked to cart drags
away a load OF cod-heads, with hun
dreds OF CLASSY eyes glaring up un-
pleasantly at the strangers. Above
the beach are yards filled with frames
supporting armies OF salted fish dry
ing upon layers of brush. In other
yards paved with smooth pebbles
mounds OF fish have been built up
with a smoothness and regularity
wonderful to behold Decidedly it is
possible to have too much of fish.

The Two Couyers.

From Bridgeport Letter
Having heard that Rev. Robert Coll
yer and his family are spending his va
cation at Black Rock, and having met
his genial, manly face several times
this summer in the streets of Bridge
port, am reminded Of the following
incident and extraordinary coinci-
dences which, to my knowledge, oc-
Cured in Chicago:
Twelve or fifteen years ago the Rev.
Robert Collyer and the Rev Robert
Laird Collyer were settled pastors OF
very popular churches in Chicago.
Judge Nj, from Omaha, was stop
ping at the Sherman House, at that
time the principal hotel in Chicago.
On Sunday morning the Judge asked
the clerk the way to Mr.. Collyer's
church
"There are two Collyers preaching in
Chicago" was the reply.
Il want to hear the Rev. Robert
Coliyer."
"They are both the Rev. Robert
Collyer."
~ mean the Unitarian Collyer."
"They are both Unitarians."
'Imean the Rev. Robert Collyer who
sformerly a Methodist clergyman. f"
'They were both formerly Metho
dist clergymen.
"Is it possiblel" exclaimed the
Judge. 'WeJi, | want to hear the Rev.
Robert COllyer who was formerly a
blacksmith and who studied his open
books while working at the forge"
The clerk gave the proper directions,
the stranger found the church before
the services commenced, and when he
returned to the hotel declared that he
had heard the most interesting and
commOn-sense sermon he had ever lis
tened to.

A Pastoral Visit.
[FrOm an English Paner- ]

From an English Paper
Rev. +. q. Cane, speaking at BristO
the other night, said he believed in care
full preparation at home OF ofsermonsf for
the Sunday, instead Of "gadding from
house to house visiting" In his early
career he was earnestly requested by a
deacon to visit member of the con-
gregation who was very i'll, and it was
suggested that he should call at IL
O'Clock in the morning. He did so,
and found the poor woman very much
better but greatly put out at his visit,
as she had her hair in curl paper, her
sleeves tucked up to her elbows and
was doing bit of household sweeping
and dusting.
He begged her not to mind him, as
he was ''used to that sort of thing -
He would have a short prayer-he
would not be long; they knew he never
was long about anything.
He selected a chair and knelt down;
she selected another and he began the
prayer. He heard the door opened
once; he heard it opened a second time.
He concluded an earnest prayer on the
poor woman's behalf, and on looking
round-lo a perfect transformation.
While he was praying she had slipped
up to her bedroom, washed her hands
and face, curled her hair, changed her
attire there she was in her very
best silk, fittingly prepared to receive
company while he had been praying
among the empty chairs.

Royal Intermarriage.

L dFlS IOF. LONDON truth.
In the course OF a conversation on
consanguine marriages with a physi-
Olgist who has gone deep into nervous
diseases, and has, perhaps, more au-
gust and illustriOus patients than any
prince of science except Ricord or DR..
Evans, he said to me that the best
guarantee against monarchcal des-
potism is the habit that prevails
among reigning families to intermarry.
The fuer de pois of the caste he had
observed, have surface qualities, but
want mental vigor If obstinate, they
have weak wills. The best kings are
generally those who belonged to some
collateral branch, and We're notreared
for the throne. Victor Emmanuel and
his father and the grand duke of Baden
and Henri Quatre were instances.
suggested the Due d'Aumale as a man
not certainly OF a powerful mind, but
a clever writer and acute thinker.

mother was of the pOsterity Of Nine.

sending flame OF fire up the slope and
above the farmhouse, and sending the
shingles and timbers from the breaker
flying 400 feet above the earth. Ze-
lntzky was not killed, and was
removed from the slope with
only his boots on and no hair on
his head. Hewas otherwise uniniured.
The following is a list OF the dead:

A Wonderful City.

From the London Free Press.
The city of London is the most won
derful place in the whole world, and
its frequenters the most wonderful
people. 1t Is the smallest Of cities, but
the most valuable. 1t has an area OF
one square mile, but that one square
mile produces a rental OF four millions
per annum, and its inhabitants pay
one-seventh OF the general rates OF
the whole metropolis, which has
an area OF 120 square miles.
Land Is sometimes sold in the country
at about SO per acre, which Is equal
to g penny per square yard. 1t has
been soldin the city at e640 per square
yard which Is equal to over So, 600, 900
per acre. In other words, heprice of a
squareyard of land in Lombard Street
has realized sum that would purchase
anIce little freehold estate in Berkshire
OF not less than sixty-four acres. 1t is
calculated that 10000 people enter
the city daily, Sundays excepted, IN
hope OF making money without toll

Straight Business.
From the Wall Street News

from tne W al street news.
A report flew around a Michigan
village the other day to the effect that
the trusted cashier of the only bank
in the place had skipped out with
$50, 900. There was great excitement
and rush of depositors, but the
president of the bank met each one
with a smile and an assurance that
not a dollar was missing.
The cashier was arrested in Detroit,
and the 100000 was found in his
trunk. When he had been brought
back the president was asked why he
denied the theft OF the money,
con business principals, was his
prompt reply. Had the cashier got
into Canada, l should have been
obliged to bust or follow him. There
We're $4,000 more in the safe, and
didn't want the depositors to get it

The Bar of Gambrinus.

Young women in white, with pages
in green at their heels, made the eye of
the Austrian Emperor twinkle as the
procession at Pilsen filed past him the
other day. But Pilsen is celebrated for
its breweries; consequently the bar OF
Gambrinus was the chief attraction OF
the cavalcade. The Beer King, a giant,
when opposite the Emperor, emptied
an enormous bowl to his health, with
a mighty "Hoch!" in which thousands
ioined. Casks innumerable, large and
small, came next, with coopers at
work on the cars. The gardeners, sur
rounded with palm trees and flowers,
rolled past. with the goddess Flora,
attended by children. A newly mar
ried couple, with hundreds of the
peasantry, wearing their national cos
TUNES, and 2,3OO miners from the
mines of the neighborhood closed the
procession.

by one of the Oriental scholars in the
Congressional Library the other day.
He says that a Chinese word may
mean one thing in the pictured sym
bol OF its letter and entirely another
thing when pronounced. Hesays that
the brother OF the present Emperor OF
China has written book which, when
read with the eye, is one OF the most
pure and delightful OF poems, but when
read aloud is one OF the most obscene
books that was ever written. 1t was
not long ago suppressed.
The Japanese authorities are max
ing experiments in the way of sub
stituting the Roman alphabet for their
japanese characters. The Japanese
are centuries ahead of the Chinese in
their adaptation to the progress of
modern times.
