MONTREAL, April 22.
In the House this afternoon Sir John A.
Mcdonald said there was much reason tn
fear that the rumors of the disaster at Fort
Pitt were true, although they are not yet
fully confirmed. Out of consideration for
feelings of those whose friends were there
ii would not be wise to speak more specifically,
simply because the reports were rumors as
yet. But as these rumors had come from
various sources one must believe that
calamity had occurred there.
WINNEPEG, April 90.
The government telegraph line was re-
paired this afternoon and communication
with the west was restored. message re-
ceived from Battleford says: Five mounted
police arrived here today from Fort Pitts.
They report that in the attack by the Indians
one policeman was killed and one wounded,
all the other occupants of the post having
taken refuge in the camp of friendly Indians
near the post.

Bribery in Politics.

1t is evident that the only efectual
remedy is the improvement of public
sentiment and the enlightenment of the
public mind as to the evils that bribery
produces.
The Improvement of public sentiment
on this subject must necessarily be q
work of time, and it cannot begin too
soon. We may say, indeed, that it has
already begun with the discussions of
this years canvass; but much more
must be done in order to produce the
desired effect on the public mind. It
especially incumbent upon those who
profess to lead and counsel the people
on political subjects, whether in official
position, in the press, or elsewhere, to
lead the public Alright in this matter
By exposing eases of bribery that may
come to their knowledge, by showing
what evil results from it, by denouncing
it especially IN their 0a012 party, by set
ting an example of perfect hone ty in
their own public life, and above all, by
scorning to use public station to adj
vance their own private and pecuniary
interests, they may do much to check
the abuse even now, and perhaps re-
move it almost entirely at some future
day.
The trouble is that men who would
not themselves descend to bribery are
criminally complaisant with regard to
the use Of foul means, when these are
to advance their own interests and those
OF their own party. They are severe
on the subject of buying votes only
when the purchases are made in the in
terest of the other side. Their stand
ard of political morality is high as APP
piled to candidates whom they are try

In the formula for Rumford's soup
given IN my last. it is stated that the
bread should not be cooked. but added
just before serving the soup. Like ev-
erything else in his practical pro-
gramme, this was prescribed for q
philosophical reason. His reasoning
may have been fanciful sometimes. but
he never acted stupidity. as the vulgar
majority of mankind usually do, when
they blindly follow an established Gus
tom without knowing any reason for so
doing, or even attempting to discover a
reason.
In his essay on 1.-The Pleasure OF
Eating and the means that may be en-
ployed for increasing it, he says: 1.-The
pleasure enjoyed in eating depends,
first, on the agreeableness of the taste
of the food; and, secondly, upon the
power to affect the palate. Now, there
are many substances extremely cheap,
by which very agreeable tastes may be
given to food, particularly when the
basis or nutritive substance of the food
is tasteless; and the effect of any kind
of palatable solid food COT meat, for in
stance), upon the organs of taste, may

ducing the size of the particles of such
food, and causing it to act upon the pal
ate by larger surface. And if means
be used to prevent it being swallowed
too soon, which may easily be done by
mixing it with some hard and tasteless
substance, such as crumbs of bread
rendered hard by toasting, or anything
else of that kind, by which long mas
tication is rendered necessary, the Joy
of eating may be greatly increased and
prolonged" He adds that 1.-THE idea
of occupying person a great while, and
affording him much pleasure at the
same time, in eating small quantity
OF food, may perhaps appear ridiculous
to some; but those who consider the
matter attentively will perceive that it
is very important. It is, perhaps, as
much SO as anything that can employ
the attention of the philosopher

Clever RetortS.

A very clever reply to a somewhat
satirical remark was that given toLou-
is XIII. by Cardinal Richelieu, who was
a nobleman as well as priest. A cell
ebrated Archbishop of Paris was ap-
pointed preceptor to his Majesty. One
day he preached a notable sermon be-
fore the Court of France, which touch
ed principally upon the duties of the
nobility. ''Ah,' said the king to Rich
ellen, 1.-The preacher has thrown vast
number of stones into your garden to-
day" Eyes, SIRE" answered the car
dinal, ''and few have fallen into the
royal park"
One of the most distinguished Incl
dents in Zimmermann' life was the
summons which he received to attend
Frederick the Great in his last illness,
in 1876. One day the king said to this
eminent physicians: You have, pre-
sumo, sir, helped many man into an
other world?'' Any ordinary man
would doubtless have been scared by so
momentous an inquiry, and it was, in
fact, rather bitter pill for the doctor,
but the dose he gave the king in return
was judicious mixture of truth and
tlattery: mot so many as your Males
ty, nor with so much honor to my
self"
As all classes of persons from the
lowest to the highest are apt at times
to meet with a Roland for an Oliver,
we must not even exempt those shreWd
men of the world termed lawyers. A
seafaring man was called upon the
stand as witness. ''Well, SIR" said
the lawyer, ''do you know the plaintiff
and defendant" After a moment
hesitation Jack declared his inability to
comprehend the meaning of those two
words. ''What, not know the meaning
of plaintiff and defendants" continued
the energetic inquirer. ''An intelligent
fellow YOU must be to come here as a
witness! Can you tell me where on
board the vessel it was that that man
struck the other one?" Certainly I
can, replied the sailor, lit was abaft
the pinnacle" ''And pray" asked the
lawyer, ''what do you mean by that?"
"'Well, that's good" responded the
witness, you must be pretty fellow
to come here as a lawyer and don E
know what abaft the pinnacle meansr
At another time lawyer, in cross
examining witness, asked him, among
other questions, where he was a partic-
ular day, to which he re3Ged that he
had been in the company 81 two friends.
''Friendsr exclaimed his tormentor;
''two thieves, [ suppose you mean
''They may be, responded the witness
'ryly, ''for they are both lawyers"
