Inc turtle bearing on MS Shell rno S1gn-manual
of John Smith and the date September 20, 1886,
which turns up, or, rather, is turned up, from
time to time in various parts Of the country, will
now have to take a back seat A deadly rival
is in the field and is prepared TO make things
warm for all corners. This is none other than
bat which, it is gravely alleged, was found i'm
bedded in the centre of large stone recently
split open near Romney, Ohio 1t is particu
larly stated that the bat in question was hermet
ically sealed" and that when the stone was torn
asunder the bat was alive. What remarks he
made on this interesting occasion are not recorded
1t would naturally be supposed that he would
be exceedingly proud to meet his rescuers but
then, ne may have preferred to assert from his
personal experience that the poet was altogether
right who asserted that stone walls do not q
prison make" Certainly it cannot be denied that
this particular bat had had exceptional oppor-
tunities for observation this point But there
is nothing in the story as it comes to to throw
light on these interesting matters. The main
thing is that the stone is now on exhibition in
Romney The bat would also be, had it not
been for an unfortunate accident The bat
was placed too close to hot stove and died
in few hours 1t is possible that the bat
knew enough to come in when it rained, but he
evidently hadn't met hot stove in such a long
time that he didn't recognize when he saw it,
This is lamentabe. The story would meet with
a much more ready acceptance could the bat as
well as the stone be placed on exhibition Under
the circumstances, all that be done is to make
an exhibit of the bats skeleton instead. If that
and the stone together do not convince the scep-
teal of the truth of the story, we can't think
of anything that will OF course, there might
be a few aidavits: but then, afiidavts don't count

According to a correspondent in Buenos
Ayres, the method Of choosing Presidents in
the Argentine Republic is curious, and will be
thought open to serious domestic complaint.
The retiring President " fixes upon" a success
sor, who is elected as a matter of course, Gun
less there be split in the party, which means
revolution" There are admirable qualities of
simplicity, directness and certainty about the
Argentine plan, but it can scarcely be called
democratic. II obyiates the necessity of voting
TO such an extent that elections might be con-
tidered almost useless except when the people
desired to engage in revolution. 1t makes
things pleasant for the retiring President, but
it is a custom susceptible of abuse. A Presi-
dent with a large circle of brothers, sons,
brothers-in-aw and sons-in-law might be al
most as well off as if he were Emperor.

There are some Southern newspapers which
when they get out of topics, begin to talk about
the burning of AlIanta, charging that General
Sherman was the inccndary Now and then the
General casually informs whom il may concern
that he did not bum Atlanta, but he makos no
impression upon these assailants of his one OF

cral doubtless takes these attacks as the burly

Some comparisons are instituted elsewhere
In to-days paper which bear directly upon the
desirability of admitting Canada into the
American Union. The question of admission
Is essentially one of give and take, and it is
not wholly clear that what there is to take will
be an adequate compensation for what is given.
The resources of the Dominion are undoubtedly
immense but the failure of the Canadians to
develop them suggests that there must be some
serious physical obstacle in the way of that
coercion which makes the wilderness fruitful
II is significant that while a million Canadians
or about one fifth of the Dominion's entire pop
uation, have left their homes to seek fortunes
in this country, only IS, 600 Americans. scarce
y thousandth part of the total present pop
ulation of the United States, have gone above
the ST. Lawrence to settle. In drafting the
terms of political union, ii should be borne in
mind that Canada's admission would put four
teen new chairs in the American Senate to
represent a people entitled 10 only about
twenty-five Congressman.
A substantial blow was dealt the Canadian
Pacific Railroad by the Dominion Supreme
Court yesterday in its decision affirming the
right Of the Province Of Manitoba to grant a
charter permitting the Red River Company to
run its road from Winnipeg across the Ca
hadian Pacific's tracks to the line of the North
Urn Pacific. 1t is a novel sensation to the Ca
hadian octopus to find itself defeated in any Of

-President-elect Morton found on his re-
cent visit to Indianapolis that the cost of the
State House in Indiana had not exceeded the
appropriation, which was 50, 100000. When one
thinks of this and then reflects on the huge sums
that have been sunk in the expensive and
finished pile on Capitol Hill in Albany he cannot
but realize keenly that in the Empire State the
taxpayers, when they spend a dollar, are never
sure of getting dollars worth. We are not
likely to go into the business of Capitolbuilding
soon again; if were, it would probably be
q wise investment to send commission to Indiana
to learn how the thing ought to be done.

Thinking that he was asleep, she left her

kept his razor, but he sprung from the bed,
and seized the razor before she could get it
After retiring again. Parke fell asleep and
