NO DESIRE TO QUARREL,
But Bound to Uphold Canada in the
Fisheries Troubles.

Fisheries Troubles.
LONDON, June THE Standard discuss
ing the fisheries dispute, says We have no
doubt that Mr. Bayard will avoid precipi-
tate and offensive action relating to the
fisheries controversy Certainly there is no
desire in London, and, we believe, none in
Washington, to have the two interested ma
tions involved in quarrel over a rather
trifiing dispute between the Atlantic fisher
men. However, while the treaty Of lSlS
remains in force the Canadians have per-
feet right to demand its observance.
''lt is not to be supposed that the Canad
ians will hold valuable rights without some
equivalent Concessions on both sides are
necessary. The matter does not concern
England directly, but weare bound to show
firmness in our decision The Canadians
look to us for support, and they ought to
receive it We would rather the dispute
had not occurred, but, as it has arisen, we
can not help ourselves Anything would
be better than leading a colony TO believe
that it can not rely on Great Britain.

She had wandered with a.15ok;
But the heat her senses dulled,

She had fallen fast ASLEEP.

Gweetly innocent and lair.
He stole softly up behind.
Gently DER the girl inclined,
And, hall fearing breath to take
Lest, perchance, she might awake
Az the bee sweet honey sips,
Boldly kissed her pouting lips.
Weakened thus, in shy surprise,
The maid cast down her lovely eyes,
And the youth began to try
His rash act to justify,

Bnt my temptation was to strong.
Such a melting mouth as this
Burely was but made to kiss"
Deeper still the maiden blushed,
Roster yet her sweet face flushed,
Lower down she dropped her head,
As with modest air she said:

Thus to steal a kiss from me,
i was sound asleep, and you
Might just as well have taken two!p

bright gaslight, the soft warmth, the
flying walters, the subdued chatter Of

wandering glances OF the male occu-
pants Of the surrounding tables, GER.
tainly it was not surprising, since
both were, in widely different styles,
strikingly pretty. Moreover, they
were calmly oblivious Of the admira-

Tho Blue JAWS Carrying Brimstone.

The question that the little girl asked
her mother as TO where God got the
birthstone with which to burn the sin
ners, is quite natural. IN the south it
used to trouble the colored people a great
deal, and they explained it, saying that
the blue Jaws went to hell ninety-nine
time a day. carrying birthstone in their
long bills.
This was told me by a worthy colored
man who works with his hands during
the week, and who on Sunday breaches
the gospel of light and truth to a de-
voted little flock on College hill.
THAT is what the old folks on the
plantation down south used TO teach
us" he said, "and we boys used TO watch
the blue jays for hours, hoping to see
them start away for hell with the brim-
stone. But they never started, and the
Old folks told us that it was because we
looked at the birds. We believed the
story. though, and always killed all the
laws that came in our way and destroyed
their nests. You see, we wanted to de-
crease the supply OF birthstone, and so
relieve the agony of the condemned sim
ners. "-Cincinnati Times-Star.

sponsible for the suffering which has
resulted from the continuance of the
strike upon his southwestern system.
When Powderly had finished his fam
Gus interview with Gould the impress

road wrecker had consented to submit

seem a triling matter. A reckoning
