Bonaventura, Ont, because he had the
smallpox. Before the attention of the
physician i'll charge at the depot, when the
woman boarded the train, could be drawn
to the fact that the boy was suffering from
the disease, the train was off. The loud

frightened the mother, for just after leaving

at the rate of sixteen miles an hour she
took her boy to the platform of the car
and threw him from the train. She has

Never Too Late to Mend.

1t is sad to hear of magistrate be-
ing convicted of fraud, even though
the court was constrained to admit the
''great ingenuity with which the Of
Tense had been committed. The seat
Of justice has indeed before now been
occupied--and with credit-by men
who had themselves made work for
the law; but their little irregularities
had usually been perpetrated before
their elevation to the bench. Thus
Aubrey tells of Chief Justice Popham
how ''for SEVERAL yeares he addicted
himselfe but little to the studio of the
lawes, but to protligate company, and
was wont to take a purse with them.
His wife considered her and his con-
dition, and at last prevailed upon him
to lead another life and to stick to the
studio of tho lave; which, upon her
importantly, he did, being then about
thlrtie veares olde. He spake to his
wife to provide IL very good entertain
ment for his comrades to take his
leave of them, and after that day fell
extremely hard to his studio and prof
tied exceedingly Pemberton first
dreamed of being chief justice when
prisoner in the Fleet. Holt was pop
ularly reported to have been ION the
road" in his youth, and when in mid
die age he inquired of q former &C.
quaintance after the members sof their
old set, he is said to have received the
reply that t'they had all been hanged
except his lcrdship'' and the speaker
whom Sir John had few hours pre-
viously sentenced to the same fate.
But, once invested with the judicial
character, a man should contine HIM
self to such peccadilloes as those of
"a modern deceased lord chancello r."
who, according to Lord Campbell.
twas said to have collected very
complete law library by borrowing
books from the bar which he forgot to
return" st. Jan.es's Gazetle.

Rev. Stuart Ross, formerly rector OF

dressing the Plymo uth (Eng.) Young Mems

Joy, the Canadian immigration commits

and greatly exitcd. The moment tina many
OF them realized what was the matter they
became bowling mob and pursued their

and he was remanded for q week without
bail. Ross disappeared from Belfast
two years ago, leaving 81 wife and
two children: Mrs. Joy, who was
q teacher in his Sunday school,
also disappeared at the same time, which
led to report that the couple had eloped.
This rumor was confirmed when Mr. J oy re,
ceived q letter from Ross in which the latter
said: Your wife has undergone malpractice
and you had better arrange for obtaining a
divorce from her." Mrs. JOY was found in
the prisoners lodgings, and when informed
OF her paramour' 3 arrest, gloried in her
connection with the Lords Amounted"
as she called her illicit lover She attended

The Dog Had mn Owner.

here. Vas q young man in the
smoking car who was powerfully affec-
ted. He had the swell-head until the
coach was hardly large enough to hold
him. He made a great show Of a roll
9of bills and diamond pin, and by
and by he let it be known that he had
revolver. He was making a display
Of the weapon when the train entered
the suburbs OF Savannah. Pretty soon
swell-head threw up the window, and
a moment later he got smart idea.
!. The train was running very slow, and
dog rushed out OF Il yard and set up
a great barking at the wheels. Hero
was ! chance TO try the revolver, and
bullet struck and shattered one OF
/ the brute's fore legs. just then the
/ train stopped to wait for switch, and
. the dog rolled over and over and
made the neighborhood echo with bis
howls. .~.a. g.
) The smart young man hadn long to
wait. The dog belonged to an Irish
woman, and she came running out.
She saw the fellow with the weapon
still in his hand, and she entered the
smoking car like a tigress. He was
looking out of the window and didn't
see her approach. She grabbed him
all over at once, dragged him into the
aisle as if he were parcel and she
then and there gave him such wal
Looping as left him hopeless, helpless
wreck. No one interfered, and he was
mere play thing in her strong arms.
When she let him up his clothing was
in shreds, his face all blood, his hair
thlnned out and his sytem knocked to
pieces for six months to come. Not
one single word was uttered by the
woman until she was ready 10 leave
the car Then she looked down on his
battered remains and remarked:
