MuDRKD.-Now, Aunt Jane, you are too
hard on me. How can you expect me TO
know exactly what to do. A girl does not
get engaged every day, and when l ask
mother she always put me off with ego
and ask your aunt"
AUNT JANE.--Well, Mildred, suppose
should not expect girl of your age TO
be up on such matters, but certainly her
mother ought to be. 1T happened that
only short time ago was reading an
article on etiquette in my infallible
guide, entitled, "Before and after the
marriage engagement" l will lend the
Magazine to you, which will answer all
your questions. And now that you are
contemplating marriage, let me give you
a little advice, do not start off like your
mother did, to always depend on others
for her information. Your mother always
says ego ask Aunt Jane," she knows
everything. Well, am egotistioal enough
TO admit that can generally give infor-
nation on almost every subjrct that
comes up in the home circle, AVID yet
will tell you candidly that every biz of my
household knowledge has been gained
from reading Demorest's Monthly Mega
zine: 1t covers absolutely every point IN
resting to a family, and without it /
would be lost for answers TO your numer-
Gus questions. Every mother should take
II, aud every girl like you who is contem-
plating starting a new home, should put
that down as the frs requisite. May be
you think my praise is too strong. WE'LL
Try for yourself. You say you want a
pattern of that jacket | have just finish

you, but l see that w. Jennings Demorest,
publisher of Democrats Monthly Maya

of the Magazine foI ten cents. Send for
one and you will get your pattern for
nothing, for each Magazine contains a
pattern order emitting the holder to the
selection of any pattern in stock and of
any size manufactured. Don't think by
this that Demorest's is a Fashion Maya
zine, for il is not. Its fashion depart
ment is perfect, as are all its other de-
partments, but James is as anxious for
it's arrival each month as l am myself IL
is simply a perfect Family Magazine,

which is only two dollars per year. If
you are thinking of subscribing for a
magazine for the coming year, be sure

station here the queen was met by Count
Won Hstzfeldt, the German Ambassador,
who accompanied her to Port Victoria,
where Empress Victoria landed shorty
after the Queens arrival Only a small
crowd was present, and there was very
little cheering. The meeting between
the mother and daughter was quite eff
fecting. The whole party at once took
the train for London, where Count Won
Hatzfeldt alighted The train was draw

membered that she had forgotten to in
yite the Count to the royal residence, as
she had intended to do. Princess s.. e.

Ambassador bowed his assent. AS the
train was in motion, however, he was
compelled to take later one. The fail

GEORGIA CRACKERS.
The Different Conditions Under Which White
And C0lored Dwelt in the south
Boston Globe

Country Crackers is term applied
by the intelligen class in Southern com
munities to those more unfortunate
people residing in country districts far
removed from railroads, cities, and, in
fast, all civilized agencies, Crackers are
divided into two classes, viz. The "poor
white folks and "niggers.n Though
every one fully appreciates the trials with
which they are compelled to contend, it
is impossible TO refrain from looking at
the humorous side of the Crackers life.
And to No,thern traveller, known by
them as Yankee folks, coming in contact
with both classes, everything seems
amusing.
There l. feeling of rivalry between
the poor white Cracker and ths prosper
ous negro. The former, borne down by
financial difficulties, spurns all sugges-
tious of equality with the latter, even
more than the intelligent and thrifty
whites with whom the line of equality is
more plainly drawn.
Notwithstanding the fact that in point
of education these two classes of Crack
ers are on the same footing, the whites
have not forgotten the better condition
of their forefathers, and when not pros
porous are very gloomy. The negro, on
the other hand, seems contented with his
present condition. The traveller, there
fore, is more amused and entertained by
the latter. Hence, we will devote more
space 10 the "ni0gern tnan TO the "poor
white folks" The dialect varies accord
ing TO the race traveller passing
through this section of country, and in
curing the way of u white native, he will
come up to the buggy, thinking you can
have all day to talk, place one boot on the
wheel, expectorete, and address you as
follows:

CANADIAN ANNEXATION.

The French-Canadan Sentiment Represented
to be in Favor of Union with the United States
lie Lectuer, the organ of the Provincial
Government and supposed to represent
the French Canadian sentiment 10 Cana
da, has made decided sensation by pub
fishing an article in which It points out
the advantage OF annexation over I'm
perial Federation, possible contingency
1t instances the annexation proclamation
of l849, giving the names of those who
then signed It. They were Sir John Rose,
Financial Agent of the Tory Government
in London; Sir A. A. Dorm, Chief Justio ,
of the Court of Queens Benchi Judge
Torancs, Johnson and Mackay, and those
princes of Montreal Finance, the Molsons,
Redpath. WoaknRn and rockingham.
1t then argues that annexation would en-
tail scarcely any change. The provinces
would retain their present limits; they
would enter the Union as states, whatever
might be the extent OF their respective
territories and the disproportion between
them and that already existing in the
Uuited States. Prince Edward Island be
coming the Delaware of Canada. The
fl deral debt of $3OO,O00,O0O would be a
mere drop IN the bucket at Washington.
The militia would be recognized on the
economical plan of the United States and
the army OF custom officers would vanish.
Independence lie Leotuer simply dismiss
e. with the remark that the future Is
wrapped in too much uncertainty, aud
says it Is altogether too doubtful whether
the Dominion would be strong enough 10
recover its indie pendence, or, barring re
covered II. to retain il. The article will
probably begin movement among the
French for annexation to the United
States. The French feel that the do not
set fair share Of power in the Domin'
ion Government, and are ready for any
thing that will give them more Liberty
and Independence OF action.

He Saves the Life ola Boy Who Had Acelden -

An instance of the instinct and hdellty
of young monkey from Batlgnoucs,

an inhabitant of that part of the city was
playing in one of the rooms of his
fathers fat with the monkey, which IS a

Der OF It's species. The boy in fit OF
inv emile caprice, tied the cord OF win
dow blind around his neck and pretended
to hang himself, to the immense amuse-
pent of his simian playmate, which grin
ned and chartered on chair. Suddenly
the boy became livid and began TO cry
for the cord had got into real moose
around his neck. In short space of
time the monkey took in the situation
and tried to undo the moose with It's paws
but had to give up the attempt. 1t then
hopped to another room, where the boys
grandmother was sitting, and began TO
pull at her gown, and grimace, chatter
and LOOK wistfuily toward the door. Az
