A HUcKLEBERRY MARKET.

Canadian Berry Pickers and Buyers.
Long Distances to Market.
The huckleberry market at Grand Bay
gave me another glimpse of Saguenay life.
At my camp on the beach I watched the
tide steal up the sands till the great bay
was filed to the brim, and the terraces
of inhabited lands, verdant amphithea-
tire under bald granite peaks, rested in the
silence of midnight. Then walked over
to the wharf to see quain market scene
by starlight on the shores Of this savage
river. As I drew near the medley of
sounds divided itself into many signs of
human life; the driving Of horses, the
calls of men and women, the talking of a
multitude, filed the obscurity with invis-
ible yet eager spirits. The road was lined
on each side with carts and buckboards
piled with boxes, and half draped with
protecting boughs and grass. Half a
dozen buyers moved about among the
crowd, and their lanterns showed forest
of rough booted legs, of shaggy fetlocks
and muddy wheels, and when the light
was raised to examine an opened box of
berries the tanned, furrowed, eager faces
Of men came out Of the night like heads
by Rembrandt. The. darkness was full of
strong human feeling, questions, answers,
offers, refusals, representations, signs OF
Encouragement.
A little booth at tho end Of the wharf
was filed with crowd watching some
boisterous men playing cards for candies;
with hats tipped back and chins out
stretched in eager disputations, they had
shufded of their mortal responsibilities
onto Inc jack Of trumps. In the opposite
booth four strong, shaggy, black eyed
men and wrinkled dame sat about a
dirty table and ate dry bread by the light
of candle. The talk in this dingy cabin
was low and gloomy; lad lying on his
back on bench announced in precise and
bitter speech the condition of things:
s'The boxes must be large, well filed with
clean fresh berries; the price, then, ladies
and gentlemen, is fifteen centsi'
"Just so" replied one Of the men, as he
crunched his crust with vim; 1--WE are
fourteen; we picked hard during two
days, and got sixteen boxes; they gave me
$40 for the lot; eighty cents off for the
boxes, leaves me SLIGO for the profit. II
they think that pays, let them pick and
wen buy
mo danger" said another, stof their
tramping over the rocksl And we're fools
to spend our time for them. Now come
from near Lake st. John, about fifty
miles from here, with twenty boxes, and
I've got SO net for picking three days with
twelve hands, and for driving hundred
miles,
Then they were silent for while, till
the old woman said, in calm, resigned
way:
sswell yes, that's all true enough, but
what can we dor Blueberries are the only
blessed thing that can be sold for cash.
Where else could we get the So, 900 q
year that comes into the country It's all
very well to tell us to improve our farms
instead of picking berries, but we'd starve
to death on the farm alone. &c. Fl. Farm

Pullman vestibuIed Trains.

IL y universally conceded that, not
withdrawing the advent of old and
new lines into the field of competition
for passenger traffic between st. Paul
and Minneapolis and Milwaukee and
Chicago, the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railway maintains its pre-
eminent position as the leading line,
and carries the bulk OF the business
between these points. It is not hard
to account for this, when we consider
that 1t was the first in the field, and
gained it's popularity by long years OF
first-class service. It has kept up to

KnuteaNelson favors the RepublI-

for the consideration of congress, to
take the place of the Mills tariff bill.
At a Republican caucus held few
evenings ago to consider this matter,

"There is strong feeling for rev.
enue reform in the Northwest and
that the Republican party ought to

Itself In the attitude of carrying out
the pledge contained in the platform
of 1884. The policy of simply taking
up the Mills bill by paragraphs and
discussing it on the five minute rule
would result in an endless amount of
talk, Indicating to the country that
the Republican party was opposed to
any change in the tariff. The practi-
Cal result would be that the country
would get no legislation whatever
looking to the reduction of the sur
plus in the treasury, leaving as a sole
means ofpreventing financial panic
tedious and unbusinesslike methods
of buying up our bonds at a large

that the honest way was for the Re-

made friends with the instituteur OF
the Villeneuve public school, who led the
singing at church and kept the village
book store; and he, too, talked politics
with me, and told me that all elections
were held on Sunday, when the people
were at leisure, for otherwise they would
not take the time to vote. He was not SO
clear as to why they were always held in
church, but that is the fact; and some
times the sacred character of the place is
not enough to suppress boisterous party
feeling, though it certainly helps to con-
troll it.
After divine service on election Sunday
/ went to the Croix Blanche for my cof-
fee, TO pass the time till the voting should
begin. On the church door was posted
printed summons to the electors, and on
the cafe billiard tables found ballots OF
the different parties scattered. Gendarmes
had also distributed them about in the
church pews; they were inclosed in envel-
opes, which were voted sealed. On table
before the pulpit the ballot box-a glass
urn-was placed, and beside it sat the
Judges of election, with lists of the regis
tered voters. But in any precinct OF the
canton an elector who could prove that ne
had not voted at home might deposit his
ballot in any other. The church bell rang
for the people to assemble, and the voting
began and ended in perfect quiet. But
could not witness an election OF this an
cient republic, where freedom was Sc
many centuries old, without strong emo
tion: it had from its nature and the place
the conservation of religious rite.-W.

The Cowboy Of Russia.

The Cossacks furnish the cavalry and
the Russians think 1t Is the finest in the
world, although there is decided differ
ence Of opinion on this subject among
military authorities. Outside Of Russia
the Cossack is regarded as q good scout
and an active guerilla, but worthless for
regular warfare. He is cowboy, the
gaucho of Russia, was born in a saddle,
has a contempt for agriculture tan the
food products among the Cossacks are
raised by the women), contempt for
schools, would not learn to read or write
If he had an opportunity, and is just
about half civilized.
But the Cossacks are race Of free men.
They have never been serfs, and have never
held them, nor have they ever paid taxes
to any authority. They own vast tracts
Of land in eastern Russia, where they
raise herds Of cattle, sheep and horses.
ALI their land is held in common and the
people live in communes. Their system
of local government is the same as that OF
the Bedouins; the same as that OF the
children of Israel in the time Of Moses
and Abraham.-W. E. Curtis.

Origin of the Eskimo.

The Eskimos are called Innuits by some
writers because the name is derived from
a native word signifying ''man, and is
supposed to be their own designation OF
themselves. In Alaska the Eskimos num-
Der altogether about $4,000, inhabiting
most of the coast line, as well as the In
terror portions of the Arctic division.
Where they came from is, of course, pure
matter of conjecture, but one theory is, that
they originated in the centre Of the Amer
lean continent, and that their settlement
on the Alaskan coasts was coincident with
the general migration which led portion
of the same race to Greenland. The the
ory,o q common origin finds some sup
port in the fact that the kaiak, or skin
canoe of the Alaskans is identical In con-
struction with that of the Greelilanders.
This kaiak, which is covered boat, is
found only among pure Eskimos, and is
lost wherever there has been intermixture
with other races. This is a curious fact,
as it forms a distinct mark Of identity
