THERE no longer remains any doubt that
Canada means something more than a passing
event. His political career has always been
watched with more than ordinary interest by
Canadians probably 10 some measure accounted
Tor from the fact that on more than one occa-
SION his name has been mentioned n connection
with that of the governor general o. he Doniil-
ion. The enthusiastic way in which he has been
received by all nationalities and creeus since ne
first land d in Cana ia furnishes undoubted
proof OF his great popularity, and, if all rumors
are correct, the object of his visit to Canada
has been attained in establishing this fact. A
prospective COVE nor general them Lord
Aberdeen comes to Canada on a short proba-
tionary arrangement, or on trial, as it were.
and judging from the hearty reception he has
so Tar met with, his appointment as Lord
aniey's successor would be a most popular
one.
RANcHMEN from the Indian Territory who
favor compliance with the Presidents order
for the removal of all white mems cattle
from the territory by Dec /, say
that they have hit upon plan TO
inforce compliance also upon those
such they say that they will not round up
with them unless they agree that three-ffths
OF all cattle so rounded up be sent to market at
once and the remainder to pasture elsewhere.
Inc presidential order says that one-half of
such cattle shall be marke ed, but the cattle
men don't propose to take any chances. AS
the opposing ca ,tlemen are obliged to have the
help OF the obedient faction in rounding up
they have, though unwillngly, agreed TO thu
stipulation. This forwarding of uumatured
cattle to points outside of the Indian Territory
TO be fattened is going to be of great benefit to
the MISSOURI farmers, and they are already D e.
pairing to send their own nearly matured cat
tie to market, and take the others to winter, a
being able to take on q great deal more flesh
with the same provender.
A BLooDhEss TRAGEDY has agitated the quiet
ex-hamlet OF Mott Haven. In a retired street
and in a most unpretentious part of it. dwells a
venerable goat known as Mrs. Kelly, so deSig-
mated out OF compliment to the owner, whose !
age is supposed to be coeval with that of the
aged but still active quadruped. The classic |
SOIL OF Mott Haven, no longer affording rocks |
and precipices to climb, Mrs. Kelly (the goat
ana not the owner) has taken to getting herself |
into all sorts of dangerous predicaments in new
buildings and excavations. Toe children en-
Joyed leading the animal into temptation and |
when there came wild rumor the other night |
that Mrs. Kelly had fallen and broke her neck,
they understood the situation. Not so the DO
lice, who rushed all around in search of a
tragedy. AT last their quest aided by much
climbing and several lanterns, revealed at the
top of a rude ladder that lie from the third to |
the fourth story of tenament house in pro-
cess OF construction, the quizzcal face of the
venerable goat, who had found no great diff

down, 1t took four policemen an hour to solve
the problem. and they were not very amiabe
over it, either.
The FAMILY of John n. Isbell, at their sum
mer nome on the Madison shore, have diScov-
cred queer way to capture humming birds
alive. Recently a small humming bird which
nad frequented the flowers on the veranda was
observed teaching its young TO sip honey from
tne buds. The old bird, well as the little ones
was quite tame, but the latter were evidently
unsKllied IN the arr of extracting honey Their

mother bird, her captors soon released her
placing her unnjured on the floor After wait

and took wing to rejoin her young, who were |
still engaged in their abortive assaults on the
flowers. This story is vouched for by the mem |
