TONS OF NEWSPAPERS.
Journals Of tho United Kingdom on File
 at tho British MuJ-u-.l.

ol lnC CAitcSl IA11sSiOf. Iilo at tho British Muj@uc1.
 Since October, 1886, a1 a1irnportant work in connection with tho catlloguing and rearranging of tho files of tho ncw-pa- pers of the United Kingdom has been going on at tho British Museum. Tho work has now been brought down to 1873 Evcry voluno has been carefully examined, and all tho important points in regard to it indicated in tho cata- lo5ue. Much labor has been spent in sizing and arranging tho papers yocr by year. By this means considerable amount of presG-roorn has been Gaincd.
 The papers 2ro ar-an5o1 according to date. Eyccy volume iI nurs .er2d out sidc. Each year has distinct set of nun bors, except i1 tn caso of the ccr- Tier dates, whcrc tho nursbcr of volumes in year is so small a3 to mako this un- necessary. Tho year 1851 is represented by only Al volumes, each vciuclo con tGi-;nG tho flies of from two to fvo newspapers, while 1S4J has Sj volumes. 1850 has 130 volumes, 1GGO has o5o vol uacs and 1670 has 317 volumes; whilo for 1857 thcrc arc no fowor than 373 vol uncs; l6i7 takes up 5 presses occupying spaco of D square feet, while 1887 re- quircs 1G presses an1 occupies 3j7 sQuarc feet. Thcro arc mo.c than 1,e.O d.s- tinct pap0cJ for 1867, whilo for 1S47 tho number did not exceed 3oo.
 Tho approximate weight of English, Scotch and Irish papers ia tho presses at tho museum ij 45J tons. Tho flies for thirteen years havo ctill to be ronc through before tho work is complete. As soon as this i3 dorc . list of tho new papers, with their respective numbers, will bo placed in the rcading-roorl, end 1t will thcn be as easy to obtain the flo of newspaper of . hundred years ago as itnow is to procure ..ny book in tho roadinG-roor. It may Dc explained that all tho London newspapers since 1890 arc kept quito distinct from tho pro- vinci; journ Is. They arc contained in tho west wing, whcro tho garlo rlan of SizinG, numbering and cataioGuinG has b2cn clrricd out a5 h S been adopted in connection with tho provincial papers.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
The Distinction Between That of Canads
 nnl That O. Lhe s-aisc ] SLatns.

" and That O, the Cnise states.
 They have q fcdcrativc government i'll
 no Dominion of Canada and wo havo one in the Unite1 StLtc5; but how few of us take the trouble to notice the wide difference between them?
 We do not now moan to direct attcn- tion to the obvious and superficial fact that our President is chosen by tho pco- plo, while tho Governo--Concral of tho Dominion is appointed by Queen Vic toria. Were tho Canadians to elect their Govcrnor-Gcnor2l tomorrow, tho profound and vital differences between tho two fcdcrativo systems would still exist.
 Tho fundamental distinction between tho Dominion constitution and our ova is that by tho former all powers not OK pressly delegated to tho provinces arc reserved to tho federation, whereas tho federal organic law of this country is based upon precisely tho contrary prin- ciplo.
 Passing to details, VIC observe that tho Dominion government has exclusive control of tho Canadian militia, where's on this side of tho border tho citizen soldiers arc controlled Ly tho several States. Hero we have Stato iudiciaricg: thcrc the judges of tho supreme, su- porior and county courts of the prov lnccs arc appointed b. tho federal OK ccutivo. Finally, tho federal govern mont of tho Dominion has tho power to nullifY provincial lOciSlatio1 not only on tho scorc of conStitutioaality, but by intcrposing an arbitrary veto.
 Tho most outspokcn advocates of a federal government in tho Philadelphia convention of 17S7-ovcn Hamilton himself-did not venture to propose q system so subversivo of Stato ri.5hts as that which all tho provinces of British North America, except Newfoundland havo accepted. No such schcnc would havo had any chance of adoption by our Stato conventions at that epoch, for tho reason that we had not SO much to fear from possible Cncroachacat5 of rowcr- ful ncighborg on this continent as tho Canadians have now
 It was because they lay in tho tro- mcndou3 shadow of tho great American Republic thao tho Canadian provinces reluctantly asscntcd to tho sweeping sacrifice of thoir local rights imposed by tho Dominion constitution. Y. LedCcr

A DRUMMGR'S STORY.
Two Georgia Gentlemen Play Turn About
 with q Whip.

with q Whip.
 "Boforo tho war" said q veteran com mcrcial traveller tho other evening, T was travelling through tho South. Ono day l stood on tho vcrInda of Q small town in Georgia waiting for train time. Suddenly man dashed past mo out of tho hotel with cooked revolver in ono hand and cowhido whip in the other, and rushing up to gent,enan;y look ing fellow slowly coming down tho street, covered him with the pistol, cry ing savagely: Told your arms I am going b thrash you
 Tho young fellow complied, and tho other began to rain blows all over his face, neck and shoulders. Tho rough edges of tho strips of rawhidc cut and torc tho flesh and burned like hot irons. But tho victim bravcly stood his ground, showing only by his p2ilOr and involun- tary twitchingJ of tho mouth and eyes tho awful agony he was suffering. Presently tho other began to tiro and ceased to strike.
 '' Have you finished now% calmly asked tho young nan.
 " Yes, sulicn'y growlcd tho other.
 Then put up your gum
 'No sooner was the revolver restored to it's placo than, quick cs flash, tho young man whipped from his hip pocket a pistol of largo c2libcr and, with look of fierce determination, cried: Now givc mo that whip and fold your arms
 And what thrashing he gavc him." exclaimed tho drummer. ''Tho fellow cried and begged for mercy and threw hisf.rms to protect his f&co, but all in vain. Tho avclgcr cut and cut until he was tired out, then with swift mo- tion ho turned tho whip in his hand and struck 2 heavy blow On tho temple with the hcavily-loadCd butt. The man fell scnsolcss to tho ground. Tho other threw tho whip down on his prostratc body and walked into tho hotel to wash tho blood from his faco anI ncck."- Chicago Journal
