She Was a Good Deal Disappointed.

An English lord who visited this coun-
try was at dinner given in his honor
at private residence up town. A little
daughter of his host, who was too we'll
bed to stare, but who eyed him covertly
as the occasion presented itself, finally
Yentured to remark:
And are you really and truly an
English lord?'
Yes" he responded pleasantly, re
ally and truly.
ii have often thought that 1 would
like to see an English Lord, " she went
on, and-and-"
And now you you are satisfied at
last" he interrupted, laughingly.
'N-no," replied the truthful little
girl. 81 m not satisfied. I'm a good

Riel's Rebellion.

MONTREAL, April 16.-Great surprise
has been caused here by the receipt of
news that the Sixty-fifth (MontreaD
regiment of volunteers, now at Calgary,
refuses to proceed against Riel, making
the excuse that they need equipments.
Col. Quimet, of the regiment. has re-
turned to Winnipeg. This is the only
French Canadian regiment of Montreal,
and its refusal to proceed is generally
supposed to be due to unwillingness to
be led against French half-breeds under
Riel.

Natural Gas.

The terrible explosions at Pittsburg
and Wellsburg by which so many
lives were lost will surely cure many
of their gas lunacy, and have a
depressing influence upon the gas
companies stock. During the past
winter we have been corresponding
with citizen of Washington, Pa.
upon the value and availability of
gas for various purposes. We
learned that the company there
furnished enough to run a common
cook stove for IS cents a month";
very cheap fuel-in fact, for all pur-
poses to which it can be successfully
applied it has proved, SO far, the
cheapest in the world. These lat
disasters show that much is yet to be
done before gas will be used by any.
but the most reckless. If it can be
secured in strong pipes and kept
under control, it will prove a great
blessing to the poor, but as now
handled, We prefer dynamite because
a violent death would be onlv a
matter of a few days time. The
dynamite would do its work better
and save the expense Of undertaken
and funeral.

Seudan as will strike terror to the
hearts of the Mahdi and all his IA
natical crew. No one who knows
the spirit and temper of the Anglo
Saxon race can doubt this for mo-
ment, or doubt for a moment that
every drop of blood from English
veins drank up by the burning sands
will be doubly avenged. When the
English are massacred by halfsavage
foes, England does not split hairs
upon questions of right or wrong
She protects her flag and her citizens
| if it takes the whole power of the
Government.
Great Britain has fought her way
and acquired a foOthold upon every
continent of earth and the islands OF
the sea. For three hundred years
her might has been her right, and
her arguments have been the thupdrr
of artillery and the crash of musket-
ry. "The sun never sets upon the
cross of St. George" ," is not an idle
boast or poetic fancy, but a cold,
solid truth. From her insulated
home, she stretches her giant arms to
the four quarters of the globe; her
flag is seen in every port. Look at
Gibraltar, Upper Egypt, Malta
South Africa, India, New Guinea,
New Zealand, Tasmania, Australia,
Islands in the Pacific, the Bermudss,
the Bahamas, Jamaica, the Balize,
British Guiana, British Columbia,
the Canadas, British America-not'
all, but our pen tires. Woe to the
savage tribe which rOuses her wrath.
Nothing, now, can save the Mabdi
but an uprising of the whole Ma
hommedan world. In the 14th cen
tury there was such crisis. The
Crescent waved upon the banks Of
the Bosphorus. The Turk crossed
the Hellespont, and not only knocked
at the gates Of Europe, but entered.
Then all Europe was camp. 1t
may be again. Sometimes little
spark kindles a great fire. In less
than twelve months the flames of
war May envelope all Europe. To
Judge by the actions of men, We
would be led to suppose that the
chief business is to butcher one an
other. England has always heaped
hOnors upon the physically brave.
One morning, while examining the
monument and statue of Nelson in
Trafalgar Square, Liverpool, an old
sailor told me that England is full
of such statues. We are not Judge,
but thought this statue fine work
OF art. "The King of Terrors" is
represented as feeling for the old
hero's heart. We can never forget
the inscription: England expects
every man to do his duty" Ropes,

of the business interests, and make
wage labor sure and steady; that
our system of revenue be 50 adjusted
as to relieve the people from unneces
sary taxation, having due regard for
the interests of capital invested and
of the working men employed in
American industries, and preventing
the accumulation of a surplus in the
treasury to tempt extravaganza and
waste. A due care for the property
of the nation and for the needs of
future settlers require that the public
domain should be protected from the
purloining schemes of unlawful
Occupiers.
The conscience Of the people
demands that the Indians within our
territory shall be fairly and honestly
treated as wards of the government,
and their education and civilization
promoted with a view to ultimate
citizenship; that pOlygamy in the
territories, being destructive of the
family relation and offensive to the
moral sense of the civilized world,
shall be repressed.
The people demand reform in the
administration of the government
and the application of business prin-
ciple to public affairs. As a means
to this end, civil service reform
should be in good faith enforced. Our
citizens have a right to protection
from the incompetency Of public
employees, who hold places solely as a
reward for partisan services, and
from the corrupting influence of those
who promise, and the vicious methods
Of those who expect such rewards.
And those who worthily seek public
employment have a right to insist
that merit and competency shall be
recognized instead of party subservi-
ency or the surrender of honest
political belief.
In the administration of a govern
ment pledged to do equal and exact
Justice to all men, there should be no
pretext for anxiety touching the
protection of the freedmen in their
rights, or their security in the enjoy
ment of their privileges under the
Constitution and its amendments =
Discussion as to their fitness for the
place accorded to them as American
citizens is Improbable, except as it
suggests the necessity for improve
ment. The fact that they are citizens
entities them to all the rights due to
that relation, and charges them with
all its duties, obligations md respon-
sibilIty.
These topics, and the constant and
ever.varying wants Of an active and
enterprising population, may well
receive the attention and patriotic
endeavOr of all who make and exc
cute the federal laws. Our duties
are practical, and call for the industri.
Gus application and intelligent per-
ception Of the claims of public Office,
above all, firm determination by
united action to secure to all the
people the full benefits of the best
form of government ever vouchsafed
to man. Let us not trust human
effort alone; but, humbly acknowl.
edging the power and goodness Of
Almighty God, who presides over
the destiny of nations, and who has
at all times been revealed in OuI
country's history, let US invoke His
aid and His blessing upon our labOrs.
