Seven years ago a man yet under middle

strickon down. When HIS physicians said re-

MISCELLANEOUS.

At the meeting of the National Base
Ball League at New York it was decided to hold
the next annual convention in Chicago. Brou-
thers White, Rowe, and Richardson we're per-
mitted to play in Detroit, but on the st Louis
clubs petition that it be permitted to play
games on Sunday no action was taken. The
Washington club applied for admission, to
take the place of Buffalo, but action was de-
ferred until the meeting of the Schedule Com
mittee in March.
The body of Louis Riel was taken
from the police barracks at Regina and buried
beneath the Church of the Immaculate Con-
ception, Pere Andre reading the funeral SER
vice. A guard had been employed to watch
the grave. Several hundred citizens of Sher-
brooke, Quebec, assembled to burn Sir John
Ibotson stopped the proceedings by extinguish-
ing the fire.
The conference of cattle-growers at
Chicago, with representatives from thirty three
States and Territories, organized a national
association under an Illinois charter, electing
d. w. Smith President and A II. Sanders
Secretary. Resolutions were adopted asking
Federal protection for the people of Montana
against the thieving Blackfeet and Piegan
Indians, who are continually moving back and
forth along the international boundary gF
1t is denied by friends who were al
lowed to see his body that Riel's hair was cut
off after his death by curiosity seekers among
those allowed at the hanging, or that the body
was in any way disfgured.
Business failures throughout the
country for the week were 240, as against 223
for the week previous OF the total of 240, %
were in Canada. Bradstreers Journal says of
the trade outlook:
The general trade situation shows less activ-
ity than was reported last week This is par
ticularly noticed in dry goods. The continuation
of moderate weather at the West and North has
seriously interfered with the distribution Of
sonable fabrics. The regular fall trade is prac-
tically over, and orders received now are largely
OF the reassortment variety. Eastern jobbers
and shippers shipping very moderately and
complain of the delay in tho arrival of
steady cold weather. Prices are firm
for all varieties except some lines
Wool is quiet and prices are firm, except for fine
heeces, owing to the relatively decreased de-
mand. Low and medium grades very
strong. Transactions not expected to in
crease much so long as the outlook for the dir
position Of heavy goods is so uncertain The
movement of grocery staples has been fair, with
pig and in manufactured irons. Prices OF both
are firm, but there has been no advance, and
there is no likelihood of any during the current
year.
Great earthquake waves were no
ticed on the Pacific coast on the 21st of No
vember. They were thirty-fve minutes apart
and as heavy as those observed during the
great upheaval in Java some years ago.

In Afghanistan, when two families

In Afghanistan, when two families
are negotiating marriage an omen is
consulted in the following manner:
Several slips Of paper are cut up, and
on the half of them is written "To be,
and on the other half mot to be. 4"
These pieces of paper are placed under
q praying-carpet and the anxious father
devoutly raises his hands in prayer to
God for guidance, and expresses his
submission to the all-wise decree of the
Almighty in the matter of his sons or
daughters marriage. Then, putting
his hand under the carpet, he draws
out paper. If on it should be writ
ten ITO be-" he thinks the marriage is
ordained of God; if "Not to be-" no
overture or negotiation will be listened
to. Sometimes, however, the interests
of state, or the value of the dowry, or
the termination of q long-standing
blood feud will induce the pious chief
tain to put aside the omen as having
been influenced by the powers of dark
