THERE is not Republican protection
ist in the country who objects to the re-
vision of the tariff with view to correct
its inequalities and remedy its defects.
But there is not Republican protection

Over The Rapids in a Raft.
ny AUGUSTA HEIRS.

From Bonaventure depot, Montreal, we took the
p. train TO st. Zotique pretty little village
ON the 81. Lawrence, few miles above Coteau.
After doing Justice to NJ. Lslonde's tempting
meal we were let loose In a lovely old fashioned
garden, aud hidden pluck all the could
AIRY
In the meantime, our raft ON its way down
from Cornwall, and was expected at St /otique
about eleven O'Clock p.
But As the hours crept on and no raft appeared,
We entreated our host and hostess to retire and
leave us to watch. But no French politeness
forbade any such free and easy proceeding that,
80 we resigned ourselves TO the inevitable and made
the night lively with music and college songs. At
last, at two o'clock in the morning the signal was
heard, and, taking leave OF our kind friends, we
walked down the long pier, which is over quarter
of mile in length.
BY the dim light of one lantern, we stepped on
board a queer craft, filled with men who 10
row us to the raft The dead hour of the night, or
rather morning the darkness the my sterous figures
moving around the rattle of the chains and creak of
the in the rowloc ks and above ALL the silence
gave strange feeling. One of the party Cthe
doctor) remarked that he never felt so much like q
pirate in his life. few strokes brought us to the
raft we got on board and then began our strange
experience
One raft Is, strictly speaking, number of smaller
ones, or what are called drains, bound together
with ropes and chains. Passing through the lakes
and rivers, attached to tug, these drains are fast
nearing the rapids they separated and each one
goes through alone. These drains made of
immense logs of oak pine, the case may be,
laid side by side, and bound together with cross
pieces about three feet apart. These again are
fastened to the logs by withes of some strong wood
the withes are made plable by machinery, so they
are easily twisted and tied around the logs. Each
single dram is generally about fifty feet wide, by
POO or 800 feet long, Rowlocks are made, raised
about three feet from the surface of the dram.
eight at the bow and eight at the stern, never at the
sides. The about thirty We feet in length,
and fastened with ropes, they easily lost
in the rush of the rapids. The drains are built to
about the depth of five logs which of course, are all
under water, except the top layer. 1t takes about
fifteen men one month to build one OF these drama.
Our raft which, by the way, was worth 100000,
consisted of nine drains, with about twenty men on
each, sixteen rowers, pilot and assistant cook,
and one odd man.
The men paid about $50 each, except the
pilot, who gets 80. The rule is, "no success, no
pay"
On our particular dram was a shanty built ex-
pressly for u.s. the pilot had had the pleas
ure of ladies' company on board before. Our
shanty we dignifed by the name of Windsor Hotel.
1t consisted of two apartments, with doorway,
but no door. In each were two berths, one above
the other, as on shipbosrd One bedroom did duty
dining room, the other was the kitchen Hav-
ing no door, we hung up..a blanket % p0rfiere.

But ell things come 10 an end, and 90 must this,
