Canadians Coming South,

Canadian parliament, numbering between
300 and 400, will visit this country soon on
the invitation of a large number of wealthy
and influential citizens These citizens are
to bear all the expenses OF the excursion.
They are largely interested in railroads in
all parts of the country.
The excursion will be under the manage
ment of Mr.. J. H. Wicks, second vice
president of the Pullman car company On
the way south the route will probably in
clude the following cities, viz: Buffalo, Pitts
burg, Chicago, Kansas City, st. Louis,
Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Birmingham, At
lanta, Macon, Savannah, B Brunswick, Jack
sonville, st. Augustine and Tampa. On the
way north it viii include the cities of
Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia,
Scranton, New York and Boston. From
the latter city the excursion party will 20 to
Montreal, and from there to Ottawa 1t
will occupy three special trains, which will
he furnished by the Pullman Ca COMPANY
The cars will be the finest owned by that
company. Each of the special trains will
consist of nine cars-six sleepers, one bag
gage, one smoking and one dining car.
The ayannah, Florida and Western rail
way has extended an invitation to the ex-
cursionists to visit Savannah and to take a
trip through Florida over the lines of the
Plant system. The invitation will doubt
less be acceuted, and Savannah's proverbial

The Pittsburg young lady who married
man whom she thought was the Count di
Montercoh is now suing for a divorce. Her
marriage has attracted more than usual
attention, on account of the deception
practiced upon her by her husband, and of
the cruelty she suffered at his hands. She
is now in Paris, and her husband is in this
country. A private letter received in Pitts
burg from young lady who is travelling
il Europe states that not only was the al
lege1 count not a count, but he was the
gardener of q count, whose title he appro-
priated on coming to this country The
young lady who thinks she has married
wealthy count, and who afterward finds
cut that she has bound herself to a penni-
less gardener, who is also a scoundrel, is
likely to conclude that marriage is fail
ure. If Miss Knox had married aa honest
and worthy American, she would now be,
perhaps, happy woman.
Gen. Adam Badeau had hardly got the
law suit against Mrs. Grant off his hands
before he brought one against his pub
fishers, Charles L. Webster & Co., for
So. 500 damages. In 1887 an agreement
was made between Gen. Badeau and the
publishers by which the generals book,
Grant in Peace" was to be published, and
by which the author vas to receive s., 900
in advance and a royalty of 80 cents on
every book sold. Subsequently, however,
Webster q Co. sought to have inserted in
tho contract a clause that the book should
contain nothing Objectionable to Mrs.
Grant. Gen. Badeau objected. He said
his duty to the Grant family went no
further than accuracy in statement The
publishers insisted on the amendment, and
the result was that Badeau's manuscript
was returned to him, and he sued them.
DR.. Jerome Cochran, the state health Of
ficer of Alabama, declares that the yellow
fever germs do not survive frost, AMI that
they live for any length of time only by
succession of cases. He therefore has put
his foot down on the burning of tedding
and clothing in Decatur, Ala. ,andsays the fe-
yer will not break out there next summer I'M
less it is taken there from some other place.
The people Of Decatur, however, don't want
to take any risks, and they have appealed
to Gov. Seay to set aside the ruling of DR..
Cochran. The health officer may or may
not be right, but one thing is certain-too
much care cannot be taken in matters of
this kind.
The country will see what sort of civil
service reformer President Harrison Intends
to be when he appoints civil service com
