COURTSHIP IN CANADA.
The Eminently Practical Nature OF Our
Canuck Cousins.

Sanuck cousins.
Canada may be several laps behind
most nations in the march of intellcc-
tual progress, but she keeps going per-
severingly onward. Her provinces
have their school systems, her boys are
wearing off the virgin gold of their nat
ural quickness and ability, and polish
ing it until they have almost arrived at
the glitter which dazzles and captivates
the world that has yet failed to recog-
nize or encourage mere diamonds in
the rough. Her girls are really the
cream of the continent. Their coyness
is more than an equal for the blushing,
sensuous bashfulness of the Southern
brunette, and their physique has the
perfection to which alone the moderate
zone and the Northern cline can give
birth.
A certain business idea underlies all
their actions and crops out in national
as we'll as in individual concerns. Even
the counting of the young folks, which
is in most countries sort OF dellrlous,
if not insane, round of continuous
ecstacy, and an exaggerated idea of the
beauty and worth of the individual,
takes a mundane form.
Courtship is a business, possibly a
pleasant one, but invariably short
one By this it must not be understood
that the young ladies may be had for
the asking, or that they are the mer-
chandise of their parents. Not at all
1t is simply that both the men and
the women take the sensible view OF
the subject. 1t is not that their Dull
cinea is divine or their Lothario is an
Apollo, but purely that they each con-
clude that marriage would be an ex-
cellent thing for both. There is no
consumption of several tons of coal or
cords of wood over the proceeding. 1t
doesn't last long enough for that.
Generally the probation period is
six months, and if young man
has been brought up within fifteen
or twenty miles of the lady to whom
he is paying his attentions he neces'
sarily knows all about her and her an
cestry, and he is expected to make his
proposals and announce his Intentions
within that period. If he is particular
ly bashful and the young lady is indul
gent she may give him a place on the
sofa and accept the contributions OF the
sap of the maple with which he comes
laden to her fresh from the forest fol
another three months. But unles:
somewhere in that month he asks her t'
be his own he must seek other tiresides
She doesn't weep at the parting o.
make any time over it. There are a
good fish in the sea as ever were
caught, she argues, and in that reason
she finds consolation for the mispen
time.
Are the Canadian girls pretty? Well
rather, and still better, they are al
trained to make good housekeepers
There is not young lady from tn
Red river to Labrador that can no

which were between $50 and 900 pas

daux in coed time, and soon that city
presented a lively scene, hundreds Of
citizens being at the depot waiting for
tho arrival of friends.
The Libertys took up their line of
march and repaired to their headquar-
tors, Firemen's Hall, and then to the
Gem Saloon and restaurant for dinner.

Frost, served up . repast that pleased

and meals or nor considerate treat
ment have seldom boon extended to
excursionists than were accorded by
the hotel keepers of Thibodaux.
Dinner being over the association,
headed by their band Of music, repair
ed to Firemon's Hall, which, by the
way, is nearly ~ largo ~ the Wash
ington Artillery Hall of New Orleans,
and there dancing wal the order Of the
day. When the dancing was stopped,
and serenading declared in order, the
Libertys, headed BY their band, called
upon the mayor and tho different he
tels.
The following gentlemen wore in
