TOP Roots for WOMEN.

Philadelphia Teiegraph's London Letter.
With the return of autumn, as regularly
as clockwork we hear the cry of the dress
reformers advocating the shortening of our
skirts, and this year these social revolution
lists have gained an ally whom they have
hitherto regarded as a deadly foe The new
convert is none other than the bootmaker.
and although he appears ON the side OF the
reformers from interested motives, such is
the quality OF the feminine mind tn at / am
afraid he will be FAR more effective as a
preacher than the health promoters. For
the temptation which he offers us to short
en- our skirts is none other than fascinat-
Ing pair of top boots. They are now being
made very Light, usually of patent leather
or morocco, with kid tops. l saw some
which were very bewitching and are sure
to be fashionable. Si!vef kid has hitherto
not been much worn. but now it is making
Its appearance in large quantities. Gold
Kid IS also to be seen, and is said to be
greatly affected in Paris, but it does not
seem to meet with much favor here.

The Canadian Pacific.
New York World

II have unbounded faith in the future OF
the Canadian Pacific railway" said Dun
can McIntire, of Montreal, yesterday.
THE road was never in as good condition
as it is today, and We shall carry Is, OO0, 600
bushels of wheat this year, as well as an
immense quantity of cattle for export to
England. The wheat is carried to Port
Arthur and then by water to outside ports.
The difficulty that the Northern and the
Central Pacific roads have with snow block
ades ID entirely wanting on the Canadian
railway. The altitude of our road is 1000
feet lower than that OF the Central Pacific.
and therefore the snow does not trouble us
O. much. OF course we are not doing the
great carrying business that the Pacific
roads Of the United States are, as they
have the thousands of immigrants to draw
upon; but We expect great thing in the flu
ture." Mr.. McIntire is said to be the larg-
est individual holder of the stock, the next
largest being the London branch OF Morton,
Bliss d Co. Mr. McIntire is building a
residence in Montreal that will cost over
q million dollars.
