CANADA AND ITS DEBT.
from the chicago Tribune.

Frum the chicago Tribune.
A Canadian dispatch says that the
public debt OF the Dominion IL now

this means take an American
equivalent. The population Of I'LL
nois and Wisconsin II about equal
TO that Of the Dominion, or s, 500, 600.
Surprising that these two states
owned jointly s2si, 600, 900, each hsy-
ing also an individual debt OF liz
own. Surprising that all which the
two states had TO represent that vast
sum Of money was some waterways

the Mississippi along the Illinois
river, and one across the state Of
Wisconsin from Green Bay via the

A Wicked but Ingenious aIrI.

"There have been many extraordinary

"A girl was brought before the police
cOurt on the charge of rObbing milliners'
shops. She was only fourteen years Of
age and Of very innocent appearance.
What puzzled the magistrate was that
none OF the witnesses ever saw her take
anything, or at least they would not
swear to it, although after she had left
shop where she bad been articles of yalne
were missed.
when arrested nothing was found
upon her. The magistrate said he could
not convict the girl ON mere suspicion.
and then began 10 cross examine her
himself in q kind, fatherly way, which
touched her heart, and she broke down
and confessed that she was guilty. and
explained her methods, 20 the astonish-
ment and amazement of the curt and
spectators.
1T seems that she had a tame white
rat, which she carried abont with her in
