The Government Organs of Canada Feel
Sore Because the Dominion Can't Have
Things All Its Own Way in Dealing with
the United States.
OTTAWA. Ont, Aug. 23.-The Citizen
government organ) says in reference
to President Harrison's retaliatory
PROCLAMATION: ''If Canadian interests
are to be made the perio d1cal sport of
the political parties in the United
States, it is high time we resolved to
supply the means for their maintenance
such as our neighbors cannot fail to
appreciate Let US plainly assert our
determination to do with our own
as best suits our own interests.
The Washington treaty has been pretty
well denuded of every vestige of ad-
vantage to this country. 1t stands sim
ply as a skeleton, which our neighbors
are equally ready to trot out in the
hope of terrorizing us, or to consider as
dead and buried for good. The clearly
best thing to do would be to take steps
at once for its formal abrogation and
so to have done with it"
TORONTO. Ont. Aug 23.-The Empire
government organ respecting Presi-
dent Harrison's proclamation, says that
the Dominion government ought with
out delay to give the requisite notice
for the abrogation of article 81 of the
treaty of Washington. Some lawyers
here affirm that the Canadian govern
ment could forthwith impose heavy
tolls on American vessels passing
through the Welland and St Lawrence
canals, disregarding the treaty en-

of Retaliation.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The chief
labor of enforcing the presidents proc

A Very Old Rose Bush.


AS long ago as the year S22 Hides
helm is mentioned in history. In that
year, we are told, Lewis the Pious,
Charlemagne's son and successor, made
it the seat of his bishopric intended by
his father to be established at the
neighboripg town of Elze. Less than
century before, Charlemagne had
brought the heather Saxons into sub
lection, and Christianity was yet new
in the land. Gunther, the bishop, had
been canon of the first cathedral at
Rheims. Three years after his eleva-
ton to the new episcopal see he conse-
Grated the first chapel, naming it in
honor of the Virgin Mary. This chapel
is supposed to have occupied the site
under The present cathe dral, where the
crypt of the new church is built. A
pretty rose bush that now clings to the
outer wall of the cathedral choir is said
by tradition to have grown there since
the days of Lewis the Pious himself. In
the twelfth century, when the choir
and crypt were being enlarged, pro-
tecting hollow wall was built around
the rose bush, in order that the vine
might continue to grow about the build
ing when the new wall had been COM
pleted. A bit of the old arching may
be seen behind the altar in the crypt.
This is the present voucher for the
great age of the rose bush, and it must
be admitted that many traditions repose
upon less solid foundation.-Architec.

MisteIlameous.
williams Withered Arm.

Much folly has been written and
talked about his majesty's arm, but the
facts of the case are these: The Prn.
cess Frederick Wi liam had a difficult
and dangerous confinement; an acct
dent happened which might have cost
her her life. She was TO be attended
by DR.. Martin, a well-known specialist,
as well as by her own household doc.
tor, but about eight A. NJ. the latter
wrote to Dr. Martin to say his services
was required Immediately. The SER
want to whom the letter was intrusted,
instead of taking it, put it into the post,
the consequence being that it never
reached DIR. Martin till one p. M, and
when he arrived at the palace he found
it was too late 10 do what ought TO have
been done hours before. For some
time the princess life was despaired
of, and when the child az born slight
injury was inflicted on the left arm,
which appeared withered from below
the elbow. Time, science and siren
uous determination on the princes
own part to conquer this defect have
minimized the inconvenience of this
imperfection, and only on close exam
ination is it possible to perceive that
the young kaiser has not the equal use
of both his hands. Little incidents,
like that of dropping his helmet at the
feet of the pope, alone recall that he
has not equal strength in his right and
left hands. That his majesty should be
suffering from mental disorder need
surprise nobody, as there is madness in
the family. The brother of William l.,
this young mans grandfather, Freder-
lex William w. Of Prussia, was, of
course, mad, and his brother had to act
as regent. The kaiser has displayed
many eccentricities, but his latest is
hardly worthy of monarch of the
house of Hohenzollern. He is having
memorial stones erected at different
points of interest along his route with
an inscription something like this, 81,
William Imperator, stood on this spot
so many minutes on such date"
This was also the case on the kaser's
journey to Norway last year.-Berlin

English Oaks.

There is nothing in the world that is
more beautiful than well-formed tree,
and if nature has been kind to any part
of this earth in her gifts in this direc-
ton, she has been so to England. 1t
is of her oaks that England has espe-
cial re Jason to be proud, for she not
only has many but most interesting
ones, gigantic of stature and wonderful
in beauty. The largest oak now stand
ing in England is the Cowthorpie,
which measures seventy-eight feet in
circumference at the ground. 1t is be-
lieved to be over six'e hundred years
old, and will hold seventy persons in lis
hollow. At one time this tree and its
branches covered more than an acre of
space. The gigantic old Parlip mentary
oak, in Cllpstone Park, is believed to
be fifteen hundred years old. The tall.
est oak on the British Isles is called the
Dukes Walking stick. 1t is higher
than Westminster Abbey. Other oaks
of renown are Owen Glendower's oak,
near Shrewsbury, from which Owen
GlendOwer witnessed the great battle
between Henry w. and Percy. 1t is
said that as many as eight persons can
stand in the hollow of its trunk. There
are also the Ellerslie oak, near Paisley,
which sheltered Sir William Wallace,
the great Scottish hero, and three hun
'dred of his men; and the Windfarthing
oak, which was seven hundred years
old when William the Conqueror landed
in Britain. A curious fact about oaks,
and not generally known, is that they
are more likely to be struck by light
ming than other trees, and were, in
centuries gone by, for that reason said
to be conse Grated to the god of thunder.
