just now the Canadian government is in
rather critical condition. Firing out the
Quebec provincial government has caused
a degree Of excitement closely verging upon
a panic. Further Developments threaten
TO completely overthrow the general gov
ernment at Ottawa. Should 1t so result 1t
would really rebound to the advantage of
Canada. Any government that Is formed
upon such gross corruption certainly de-
serves to be overthrown. At most 1t can
only be matter of tina until the Canadian
provinces are annexed co the United States
and the sooner the antiquated prejudices Of
the slow-going conservatives are relegated
to the shades Of obsourity the sooner will the
annexation occur.

THE GAME.
How an Economical Farmer saved Ills
Gambi>ag Stakes.

thutbl<tE >thhos
The tale Is told Of an old foxy farmer
who Is worth "A goodly amount OF
money. and who dwclls In one OF the
towns In the neighborhood OF Boston.
hat upon one occasion the crafty old
gentleman went 10 attend "A county
fair. IL fell o.. that he fell into the
company OF n sou Of jovial rustics who
beguilcd the hours OF leisure in playing
the festive game Of '.Old Sledge. p"
seated upon the hotel piazza. The
farmer had played the game in his
youth. and as he saw the money
change hands he had an itching desire
10 have n share In this harvest OF sud
den riches. II wa. not long before he
joined himself unto those men OF
Bclial. and with them was involved in
the meshes OF the snares OF Old Sledge.
But. alas! IL wa many a long year
since the farmer hal played cards. and
either his hand lacked cunning or the
luck was against him He steadily
lost money.
Being OF a misery disposition. the
more he lost the more excited he be-
came, and at last he made n rash bet
OF so. apparently desperately set upon
winning back what he had lost. But
the tickle goddess still frowned upon
him, and once more he lost. The dis
appointment was too much for him.
and down he tumblcd in IA TT! Instantly
confusion reigned and the old man was
picked up. taken into the house and
put on "A lounge. The hotel was crowd

confusion, and il was decided that
there wa nothing for IL but 20 carry
the farmer home. His horse and

There are very few bridges in the
world over which troops are allowed TO
march In regular step. In general.
when coming TO n bridge, particularly

are stopped. the array Is broken. and
the soldiers pass oyer without keeping

The reason Is found In the fact that n

change kisses before receiving the com-
munion in token OF. good fell
lowship. Perhaps the practice
was too simple and Acadian for our
latter days, or the moral degeneracy'
of the age Is too great, but certainly
the kissing church was far from be-
coming "A glittering success. The re-
turn To primeval simplicity was not
productive OF good results In either "A
religious or moral sense. Scandalous
tongues began 10 wag against the de-
vout brothers and sisters, and finally
the bottom fell out of the entire ex-
pertinent.
Man is the only animal hat knows
how to kiss.
Observe the lower animals. They are
fond of each other; they v~ouchsafe
tokens of affection. The cat and the
dog lick with their tongues. SO does the
bear fondle her cubs. The horse and
the COW rub their noses. birds rub their
beaks together, perhaps the nearest APP
proach TO animal kissing, but for man,
and man alone, Is reserved the
noble achievement OF OSCILLATION.
Man is also something higher than an
animal. so il il rational To infer that
kissing be longs to the nobler part of
his nature.
IL has beer said hat every tribe Of
people found anywhere have been adj
dicted To the habit. II is not so. Some
of the tribes lowest in the scale know
nothing about this token Of affection.

They rub noses, crook fingers, and even
pull ears. but do not kiss. II may ex
pra.s Just as much. but few of us would
be- willing to try IL. The Esquimaux
indicate affection by rubbing noses.
Who will deny the predominating ami
NAL nature of this people? In Africa
kissing is practically unknown. A gay

still lives to tell the tale when his
wife Is QUIT once tried to kiss a pretty
young native, and the dusky damsel
He'd in horror, thinking he meant To
eat her.
The ancient Hebrews apparently re-
duced kissing To an exact science. They
gave II n nomenclature. The kiss of
friends was called osculum, the kiss OF
love. sauvium. and the detective kiss
precisely the same as hat by which

John Bunyan was wise I'm his gener-
alton. Too much discrimination In re-
ligious kissing would be as perilous as
too little in secular life.
Who gave the first kiss?
Probably Adam bestowed IL upon
Eve, but the first recorded osculatory
salute Is mentioned in the twenty
seventh chapter Of Genesis, where Israel
kissed Jacob. supposing him To be
Esau. The old Romans studied kiss
ing as an art but relegated the salute
% the cheek or forehead. To kiss on
the mouth was considered vulgar. Our
British ~forefathers appear 10 have been
ignorant of the practice they have since
SO universally adopted, until the fair
Princess Rowena, the daughter OF King
Hengist of F~riesland. went to Britain.
There she rave the first lesson 90 her
lord Vortigern by saluting him with a
.'husien" 0ittle kiss.
The oldest kissing story Is probably
that OF the Hindoo herdsman who was
walking along the road with an iron
kettle on his back, "A live goose in one
hand, and in the other "A cane and "A
rope by which he was leading a goat.
Presently "A woman joined him, and
they walked along together until they
reached u dark r%avine, when she shrank
back, declaring he might kiss her by
force there in the dark. The man ex-
planned hat by reason Of his burdens
he could not possibly do SO. Yes"
said tine woman, "but what Is TO hinder
you from sticking the cane in the
ground and tying the goat TO IL, and
hen laying the goose on the ground
and covering il with the kettle? And
hen how could | help myself If yoa
wickedly persisted in kissing me?'
"Many thanks said the man. II
never should have thought of all that.
Youare an ingenious oma May
your ingenuity always succeed.
SO they went on until they reached
they reached the darkest part of the
ravine. Then he stuck the cane in the
ground and tied the goat TO IL, and put
the goose under the kettle by the cane,
and then he wickedly kissed the woman
in spite OF her great resistance.

my brother, my cheek for a friend, my
hand for an acquaintance. but my lips

Thomas Wallace keene-ur, as he j:

born in New York City. October 10th,

taste for the theater, and spent much
of his tIme around the stage door At
the age Of I6 he offered his services to
play the part Of "Lucius" in .ItLius
Caesar at the old Chinese buildings on
Broadway, near Broome street. His
first regular engagement was IN Newark,
n. j., where he appeared as a leading
man to a popular star. After travelling
throughout the country, supporting stars
and acting with various stock companies,
he returned to New York in 1869, and
appeared at Woods museum, now Days
theatre, in support Of the i~avorite actor,
Edward Eddy. He then again took the
road, and later found himself in Califor-
mia. In San Francisco he became quite a
favorItc, acting principally at the old
California theatre. under Barton Hill and
John Mccullough. He was leading man
at the California theatre from 1874 to
1879, when that memorable organization
was at is best. He PLAYED younger
lovers, to Adelaide Nelson young seconds,
to Edwin Booth young heroes in many a
cast which became famous after the old
company was d%Ishanded.
