A Homeless Minority.

Among the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's
many accomplishments not the least is his
ability as n story teller. To much amused
listeners he recently told this one about a
New York drummer. A typical knight of
the grip sack" was detained at a small town
in Western New York awhile ago where a re-
vival meeting was in progress. He had met
party of convival friends during his stay
there, and had what is popularity known as "a
load on " Nevertheless he drifted into the
revival meeting and took a seat well up in
front. 1t was rather close in the church and
the warm air was conducive to sleep. The
drummer yielded to the drowsy god and after
nodding little sank into a profound slumber
and slept through the ministers rather long
and dry discourse. The audience sang
hymn and the drummer slept on. Then the
evangelist began his address, and wound up
his fervid appeal with this request
will all of you who want to go to heaven
please rise?"
Every one in the church except the sleepy
drummer arose When the evangelist asked
them TO be seated one of the brothers in the
same pew as the sleeping drummer accident
ally brushed against him as he sat down. The
drummer rubbed his eyes, aud partially
awake heard the last portion of the evange
lists request. which was:
Now | want all OF you who want to go to
he'll TO stand up"
The drummer struggled little leaned for
ward unstesdily, and rose from his seat in 4
dszed sort of way. A sort of suppressed
laugh he heard from some of the younger
people, and an expression OF horror ne no.
ticed on the faces of some of the older ones.
Stesdying himself against the rail he looked
at the evangelist an instant and then said:
well, parson, don't know just exactly
what we're vo,ing on. but you and seem to
be in a hopeless minority"

centre of the walk leading from New jersey

building. and was greatly admired by Senator
Sumner for its splendid symmetry and luxuri-
ant foliage. Some years ago when the Capt.
toll grounds were being remodeled, the land
scape artist directed its removal to make room
for the walk. Senator Simon Cameron, from
bis room at the Congressional Hotel, saw
what was going on and ran over to the place
in his dressing gown and slippers He made
use of some very vigorous language concern
ing the new tangled landscape architecture
that was being introduced, and swore that
Summers tree should not be sacrificed. He
said that Sumner and he had never been
friends, but as long as he lived he should see
that so noble an object Of his COLLEAGUES At

American fishermen in Canadian waters
that they could enter any Canadian port
they pleased ''for the purpose of shipping

Later in the same dav the fishermen were
told that they could only enter for 'shel-

correct. MIR. Frye asserted yesterday in
the Senate that under an English law OF

ports for any purpose except piracy. This
law. he says, stands regardless ofthe treaty
agreed to thirty-oue years before. The
Canadians themselves yesterday began to

How would the Canadians like it. says
the New York Mail. if our government
should take them up on their present pro-
ceedings. and suspend all commercial re-
lations with British American ports on this
side the continent. Canada in u spirit of
pique and spite has suspended commercial
relations with us rs to certain particular
articles and as to certain classes OF vessels.
There are certain things which the gov
ernment of tho Dominion forbids and pre-
vents its people from selling to our ships.
This is an unfriendly and even hostile
act, and AN embarrassment to industry and
commerce. If Canada suspends CONNER
cial relations with us as to certain partcu-
lars we could fairly respond as to sus-
pension that would open her eyes.
