LONDON, Dec. I'm yesterdays poll
ing the Liberals gained twenty-seven and
the Conservatives ten seats. A feature of
the elections in Ireland is the extension of
the Irish Liberals. They have not re-
turned a single member to date.
There have been elected 239 Liberals,
1913 Tories, and forty-four Parnellites. In
the old constituencies the Tories have
gained thirty-eight seats, and the Liberals
six. while in the newly formed constitu-
encies the Tories have won l08 seats, and
the Liberals l07. The net Tory gain is
thirty-three. For the first time since the
beginning of elections there is a likelihood
of the Liberals exceeding both the Tories
and Parnellites. 1t is admitted that the
Saturday vote will decide the contest.

Will Not Release Him.

NEW YoRK, Dec. 2.-Judge 0'Gorman
to day denied the motion to release a
British subject named Augustine r. Nc
Donald from Ludlow street jail, where he
has been confined since 1879 for a refusal
to pay the fees of lawyers Hovey and
Dole who secured payment for him of a
claim for nearly 5000, 900 which he had
against the United States for cotton de-
stroyed during the late war. Judge
O'Gorman said; IF he has suffered
long imprisonment in the case it has been
by his own fault. l sec nothing in his
conduct now to entitle him to the extra
ordinary indulgence OF the court. The
question seems chiefly to be whether the
defendant by obstinate disobedience Of
the mandate of one of the courts and by
equally obstinate endurance of a penalty
imposed upon him by another, will sue.

MoNrEAL, Dec. 1.-The defense Of the
Dominion government on the execution
of Riel is published The document,
which covers five columns, is in the shape
OF a report to the priyy council by Minis
ter of Justice Sir Arthur Campbell, and
reviews the whole matter in an exhaus-
tive manner, declaring that according to
the Roman Catholic church in the North
west, Riel was not entitled to any mercy,
his motives being purely m%erccnary, he
being ready at any time to sell out the
melis for a few thousand dollars. The
document says the question as TO his san
ity is satisfactorily settled. The report
deRounces Riel for having raised the In
dian tribes of the Northwest, and for
having been the direct cause of a frightful
massacre of large number of persons.

pioneers of Arizona, living at San Jose,
on the ella river, and the despatch from
Wilcox confirms the killing o Sherif Ben
Crawford, of Graham county, by the
Apaches. The Indians are divided into
bands of fifteen to twenty. The killing
of Sheriff Crawford has created the wild
est excitement. Men, women and chill
dren are fleeing in all directions, aud
couriers are being sent out to warn the
settlers.

were horribly mangled. 1.-THE Indians
passed on to the Coronado ranch, on Gila

Vermont in Dakota.

Mr.. EditOr Perhaps few lines from me
may be interesting to some of the Vermont
friends, and more especially TO the members
of the Vermont colony which intend TO settle
here after the committee makes the location.
The committee has examined Camel, Mack
intosh, WaltwOrth and Dickey counties,
and finds some very desirable lands suit
able for a colony to locate in; also some very
desirable lands for grazing. | have visited
two ranches and find the stock in very good
condition, having had nothing but prairie
grass. The ranchmen tell me that on
an average it costs but one dollar per
head to winter their stock, so you can see at
a glance what advantage they have over
Vermont for stock-raising. Mixed farming
is what they want in this country. The
country is rolling and in some sections
you will find fine springs of very cold
water. The most of the water is goOd-not
much alkali. l find quite a large number
of Vermonters in the territory and they all
speak very encouragingly of the country.
The committee is going up on the Manitoba
railroad to look at that portion OF the coun-
try this week After the examination is
made will report. The railway officials on
the different roads have been very courteous
towards the committee and have done every
thing on their part to make it pleasant and
agreeable. will give fuller description
of the country at some future time.

a tree. Thus literature is traceable in the
growth of trees, and was originally written
on leaves and wooden tablets. The West
responds to the East in assocating great
writer's with groups of trees and a grateful
posterity will appreciate the poetry of this
idea as well while it enjoys the shade and
beauty which the schools are securing for it.

ALAS in how many places is the forest
which once lent us shade nothing more than
memory The grave and noble circle
which adorned the mountain is every day
contracting. Where you come in hope of
seeing life, you find but the image of death
o, who will really undertake the defence of
the trees, and rescue them from SenselesS
destruction? Who will eloquently set forth
their manifold mission, and their active and
incessant assistance in the regulation of the
laws which rule our globe? Without Them
il seems delivered over to blind destiny,
which will involve it again in chaosl The
motive powers and purifcatorS of the at
mosphere through the respiration of their
foliage, avaricious collectors to the advan-
tage of future ages of the solar heat, il is
they which pacify the storm and avert its
most disastrous consequences In the low
lying plains, which have no outlet for their
waters, the trees, long before the advent of
man, drained the oilby their roots, forcing
the stagnant waters to descend and construct
at lower depth their useful reservoirs. And
now, on the abrupt declvities, they consol-
idate the crumbling soil, check and break
the torrent, control the melting of the
SHOWS, and preserve to the meadows the
fertile humidity which in due time will
overspread them with n sea of flowers.
And is not this enough? To watch over the
life of the plant and its general harmony, is
il not to watch over the safety of humanity?
The tree, again, was created for the nurture
of man. to assist him in his industries and
his arts. 1t is owing to the tree, to its soul,
earth-buried for so many centuries, and now
restored to light, that we have secured the
wings of the steam-engine. Thank heaven
for the trees With my feeble voice | claim
for them the gratitude of man.-.Maddme

Commence the Year Right.

Don't make too many resolutions, but
hold on like grim death to those you do
make. If your physical system is out of
order you should attend TO that at once; for
it's no use trying to keep stiff upper lip
when your kidneys or liver are taking the
courage out of you If you have really
made up your mind to turn over new leaf,
commence the year by taking thorough
course of the celebrated Kidney-Wort.
Thousands of people testify to its good
effects for kidney diseases, biliousness, piles,
constipation, etc.

A PROPOSITION to light the entire city of
Paris by means of one great central electric
light is a project which Mr.. j. Bourdais has
laid before the society of civil engineers. 1t
involves the erection of cylindrical tower
OF masonry nine hundred eighty-four feet in
height. 1t would consist of base two hum
dred sixteen feet high, in which would be
established a permanent museum of cleo
tricity Above this would rise six-story
column surmounted by a roof, forming a
promenade, with accommodations for two
thousand persons. The central granite core,
sixty feet in diameter, would be surrounded
with an ornamental framework of iron faced
with copper. This would be divided into
six stories, each containing sixteen rooms,
sixteen feet high and fifty feet square, de-
signed for aeropathic treatments. The CEN
trail core would be hollow, so as to permit of
all kinds of scientific experiments, and on
the summit would be an enormous electric
lamp of the power of two million Carcel
burners Above all would be a statue rep
resenting the genius of science the entire
height of the structure being eleven hundred
eighty feet.
