side. Persist,ng in which the branch sent a
protest signed by every member but himself
to the Supreme Justice and requested his re-
moval as Deputy, which was referred to
friend Somerby, Deputy Supreme Justice,
who came here, investigated and reported ac-
cordingly, and Davenports commission was
thereupon revoked. He has been three times
sick and drawn $3.50 from the order.
After sending in his last claim for
$225 he asked the branch TO recon-
mend him to the Supreme Justice for re.
appointment as Deputy to enable him to in
sti,ute branches in other places, which they
refused to do. and as a matter Of spite and re-
venge he commenced suit, before his claim
had been either approved or rejected by the
Supreme Medical Director, in accordance with
the laws and constitution OF the order
Meantime charges were preferred against him
in the branch, and when his claim, with that
OF j. l.. Conklin, for 5000, was spprovei, lie
proposed as condition OF settlement and
withdrawal OF suit, that the charges agar ST
him in branch should be withdrawn and Il
paper given him certifying that the coiu-
plants were without cause, &C., which was Of
course refused.
When suit was called he withdrew t,..paid
his own costs, and accepted the amount due
him less the sums advanced to him 10y the
branch during his sickness.
In regard to the charges against Somerby
and the deficits Of the order, they are emans-
tons Of leeches OF the same ilk ~ R. n D =,
proof of which is ample. Some Of tie org
nators of the order, "the late Supreme Ac
countant" among them, agreed among them
selves to be life memhers, entitled 10 vots,
voice, travelling expenses and pay at supreme
sttings, but neglected to embody that agree
ment In the constitutions of the order; hence
the decision OF the present Supreme Justice
n. L. Lewis adverse TO their claim, which
was sustained by unanimous vote OF the last
supreme sitting.
During seven months, from July l. 1883,
to February !, 1884, the net gain of members
in the order was only 81, while from Febru-

Extravagant OictiOn.

Mere oddity of style is contemplate;
but there is charm in uniqueness,
even If it be bristling with crudities,
provided 1t present something worthy
and significant. Carlyle sometimes
clutches thought. as il by the throat:
and you can almost hear the thing
whecze under the pressure. He makes
one feel little dread of his next sen.
tcnce. Deliberate excesses Of all kinds
are vulgar, and come of seltishness. In
literary style desire to strut and
spread peacock tail, and to strain the
extremes of diction, is the same desire
that prompts the pateEt-mcdicine man
to out-do all his fellows in Ledaubing
our fences and roadside stones with his
name and that OF his drug.

kangarOOing.

Kangarooing is the most interesting
sport in Australia, and is one of the
most exciting in the world. Large
meets are organized, parties of from
twenty to thirty joining in these hunts.
They ride to the kangaroo grounds, and
as soon as an animal is sighted the two
dogs are released and the horses are
given their heads. II the Australian
horse is well up in his business, and if
you let him take you instead of your
trying to take him, he will carry you
safely, avoiding trees and underbrush.
A good, strong kangaroo will give you
long chase, and very often the dogs
cannot follow him. In this case, when
the horseman gets up to the kangaroo
he takes of his stirrup and strap and
knocks the animal over the head, which
eiiectually sluns him. He is then kill
ed and skinned. The hind quarters
are given to the dogs. 1t is good
enough for eating, but too strong TO be
palatable to those of delicate taste.
The tail, on the contrary, is considered
delicious when made into soup. The
average size of kangaroo is about
three and half feet high. but the old
man kangaroo is often six feet, and is
very fierce when cornered; he has even
been known to rip men open with a
single blow from one of his hind legs.

Adirondack Murray now keeps a
restaurant in Montreal, and he finds
time to study Dominion politics. He
writes to the Boston Herald that there
arc large class who believe that
Canada is destined to be something
more than colony Of the British En-
pire. They hope for an Independent
nation. They hold that her population
will soon outgrow that number which
can be accommodated within colonial
limits, and that the day will speedily
come when natural and peaceful
separation will take place between her
and England.
A dog belonging to Wanaqua, N.
j., lad had for long time been in the
habit of picking up his breakfast and
running away with it instead of eating
it. The boy followed him on Friday,
and the dog led him roundabout
trip, evidently TO tire out his pursuer.
Finally the dog lay down and waited
for the boy to 60 away. The boy
started abruptly as il to 90 home. The
dog then ran very fast and disappeared
in a covert, where investigation re-
vealed decrepit and emaciatcd old
dog, who was engaged devouring the
breakfast.
An ingenious contrivance which will
etIectually protect the soldiers in the
Soudan from the rays of the burning
sun is being made at the Japanese
village in London by order of the gov
ernment. 1t is in the form of an UNI
brella, made of light bamboo and
paper, and will be fastened to the
shoulders. The weight will scarcely
be felt, and the wcarer will thus enjoy
all the comforts Of large umbrella
without experiencing the inconven-
fence of holding it up, and his hands
will be left entirely free to carry his
rifle or other articles.
The question whether money found
in shop belongs to the keeper Of the
place or the finder is often disputed.
A writer in the Pharmaceutical Record
relates that o customer in drug store
once picked up dollar note from the
floor between two parallel counters.
He inquired II any one in the store had
lost it, and finding they had not, he
appropriated it. His claim to it being
disputed, the case was submitted 10 d
lawyer, who said: THE open passage
between the two counters was dcdi.
Gated to the public. not in foe simple,
but as highway whic, they were in.
vitcd to occupy for purposes of traffic. VI
So the finder kept the dollar.

The June United States agricultural re-

cellent. They are far everywhere else

We're winter Killed, and fruit growers are

that they viii bear the cold, OF peaches
the report makes remark or two that is
worth noting. Il says:
The past win.er las fully demonstrated
the unttne,s of the more northern ATTITUDES
for peach growing. From the upper Ohio
valley and the lake states there comes but
one report; it tells of trees all dead, whole
orchards, even in the most sheltered situa-
tons, having succumbed to the severe
treeZing,. In New England there was much
winter killing, and the few surviving trees
that doomed were stripped of their blossoms
by the hate frosts of spring. New York and
Pennsylvania shared in a like experience.
In Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey,
whore the peaches Of commerce are grown,
the bloom was good, and Indications point
to a crop slightly above the average. The
cold, backward spring, with late frusts has
injured tue otherwise favorable prospects in
Virginia and North Carolina.
Georgia and all the Gulf states report con
dition unusually high. In the former state
many correspondents claim that the outlook
is for the larg9s- crop ever known. Ten
nessee and Kentucky likewise report very
favorable conditions, while in the west and
northwest the Almost universal expression
is, ''no blooms and tree dead"
