COAX!NG THEM BACK.

1t seems that the Canadian government,
alarmed at the decrease of its French pOpu-
lation through immigration to the United
States. has been quietly working scheme
to induce them TO return. Agents and cir
culars have been sent to different portions
of the country where the French Canadians
are chiefly centered, offering them free farms
along the line of the Canadian Pacific railway
if they would return to the Dominion, and,
it is asserted, during the past year nearly, if
not quite. 20, 900 people accepted the bride.
1t has not beer developed that the North
west, which has always had large French
Canadian population, contributed largely
to the number. Chiefly those who returned
came from the cities, where the imm grants
found it difficult in the midst of fierce COM
petion to make a living. and consequently
gave ready attention to the agents perSuas-
i've words. But it is probable during the
coming year that an especial attempt will
be made to beguile the French Canadians
of the Northwest 20 return. They should
understand definitely what the acceptance
of such an invitation involves. Not only
would they be put to great expense through
moving, but they would be exchanging a
country in which their voice is as good as
that of any other class of men for one in
which they have always been kept in a
more or less depressed condition and in
which the taxes form a burden to the poor
man almost insupportable. They have op-
portunities OH this side of the line socially
and politically. altogether lacking on the
other. and even if their condition here is not
at present together satisfactory. though
there is no reason why it should not be,
they would better bear the ills they have
than fly to others they know not Of"

A Wife Who Thought Herself Too
Literary For Him.

Literary For Him.
Youths Companion.
1t is amusing and sometimes disgusting
to hear some women talk of relatives or
friends as not being ''congenial." A wife
who makes such declaration about her
husband shows not only poor taste but a
lack of discretion and good sense that is
ominous for the future. The degree of
congeDiality is never increased by such un-
wifely indiScretiOns.

der. stiddy as clock, and all that. but in
some things we amt bit c0ngenial," said
a garrulOuS woman to friend.

Voice Crying in tfae Wilderness.
Philadelphia Ledger.
DR.. Magoon's death recalls characteristic
story of the man, explaining how he came
to leave his first ministerial charge. which
was Richmond. Va, church. 1t was be-
fore the war. about 1S45, when abolition
sentiment was growing. Mr.. MagOon. who
was born in New Hampshire. shared the
Northern sentiment respecting slavery.
One Easter Sunday morning, as he as
cended his pulpit. he was struck by the
contrast presented by the slaves, crowded
in the gallery, and their masters and mis-
tresses, gathered in the body of the church.
The ladies were out in their new spring
toilets. radiant with flowers and bright
colored ribbons. The preacher surveyed
the scene for a moment, and then, address
ing the congregation, said:
Ladies. you look very beautiful in your
flowers and feathers; but if you would
spend half the money wasted on tinery to
educate those poor colored people up yOn-
der, it would be better for your SOulsr'
At that time it was an offenSe against the
law in Virginia to teach a colored person
to read. and 1t can easily be imagined that
such a speech put an end to Mr.. MagOOn's
minstery there. He removed to Cincin-
natl and afterward to this city.

Nearly Hanging a pair of Horses.

A pair of horses belonging to c. Nc
Kibben were nearly strangled yesterday:
They were attached to a metal wagon and
were being driven up Pride street. AS
they neared Colwell street the bed of the
wagon slipped back. This action raised
the tongue, together with the horses from
of the ground. The animals were sus-
pended in the air for some moments.
While in this position the harness tight
ened about their necks. causing the blood
to start from the eyes of one of them. The
colored man driving them was so excited

Unpleasant for Mr. Davis.

Boston Globe. ..... .-- 70, -
''One morning my train, which was the
first one to 60 through to New Orleans,
ran considerably past Beauvoir station, and
the engineer had to reverse and go back to
pick up a couple or passengers. One of
them was Mr.. Davis. He boarded the last
car and sat down i'll seat behind a couple
who got Oh just above Mississippi City.
They had evidently just been married, and
were Yankee to the backbone. She was
very pretty. but evidently disguised with
the South. Presently l sat down just
behind Mr.. Davis in time to hear the young
lady say, what place was that where we
stopped just now?'"

1T CATCHES THEM.

Referring to the recent treaty of peace
patched up between the Chicago pulpit and
the ballet. the New York Herald recalls a
similar incident when RALPH WALDO EN-
ERsoN and MARGARET FULLER together
visited ballet performance for the purpose
of pronouncing critical judgment on the
immoral features of the show. After see
ing the dancers in their dresses which begin
too late and end too early, pass in graceful
motion before them. EMERSON turned to his
companion and remarked: "MARGARET,
this is poetry" to which she replied:
RALPH. this is religion" Prof. SwING's
recent verdict of the Chicago ballet is,
1.-THE dance is love song without words"
The moral of it all is that if the pulpit in
tends to continue its assaults upon the bal
let the gunners must ire at long range.

CANADAs OLD-TIME EARTHQUAKE.

CANADA's OLD-TIME EARTuoUAKE.-
The disastrous earthquake in the South
brings to mind Il similar event in the early
history Of the colony. This was an earth
quake which lasted ut intervals seven
months, from February ), 1868, to Sep
tcmber, and extended from the isle Of Per-
Gee and Gaspesic to beyond the island Of
Montreal, aud into New England and Aca-
dia. The Relations of the Jcsuits' gives
very curious particulars of this visitation.
The most remarkable phenomenon was the
fracture and uphcaval of the ice. Blocks
six or seven feet thick flew to pieces, with
smoke Using from the depths or jets of
sand and oozc. Below Quebec, as far as
Tadousac, the waters of the ST. Lawrence
were turned whitish during whole week
