a Relic of the Past.

The cast-iron cannon found in the
Rlchelieu River, opposite Fort st. Johns,
in November last, is now deposited at
Ottawa in the military museum. BEN
jamin Suite, of the Militia Department.
IS making an investigation into its origin.
The cannon weighs 2,670 pounds" said
Mr.. Suite, land is pretty we'll eaten up
with rust, but several marks are still Wis
ible on it, which enable one to trace It's
origin. 1t was cast at st. Gervais, Mont
Blanc, France, about the year 1870, and
was destined to be used by the navy.
The caliber is what is known as eight
mark Of the old style. one of the trun-
mons was broken and forced into the
mouth of the piece in order to disable it.
The number 1856 which is quite legible
on the breach of the gun, indicates the
number of the guns of that caliber cast at
st. Gervais. There is no doubt that this
arm was broken and thrown into the
river when the French retreated from
Fort st. Johns in the summer OF 1850.
The fort, which was built by order of
Admiral La Galissonniere, Governor
General of Canada, was surrendered on
August /, l760, by Brigadier- General LIE
Bougainville, afterwards the great navi-
gator, the rival of Captain Cook. This
was about the end of the war; Isle aux
NoiX was evacuated by the French on
August %, 1760. The capitulation of
Montreal took place some days later

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County for the
purpose OF promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land OF fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 12o, 16O and 32O acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They viii be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal ~ paying the first of i've equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is tc be paid tor three years, and then
the purchaser fs to have five years in which to
pay hve equal annual ipstallments, with in
terest at the rate of z per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre,
snd good agricultural land at $40 an a;--s,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming. and es-
pecially adapted for fruft-growing. cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
p1OO an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase Of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

Mrs. Blaine a Factor.

There does not seem to be any doubt
among those who are best acquainted with
the reasons which led Mr.. Blaine to resign
from the cabinet that Mrs. Blaine is now
bis chief adviser in political matters. She
is a woman Of strong character and con-
siderable ability, and she hates the Presi-
dent and Mrs Harrison with an intensity
that can hardly be expressed in words. She
believes that Mrs. Harrison has not shown
her the consideration to which she Is enti-
tied, and the President has not granted
| favors to the Blaine family for which she
and Mr.. Blaine have asked.
The first great favor Mr.. Blaine wanted
was the appointment of his son, Walker
Blaine, to the position OF first Assistant Sec
rotary Of State. The President said he did
not think it would look we'll for the chief
cabinet of1cer TO have his son as his prin-
cipal deputy. Walker Blaine was ap-
pointed to the position Of principal law
officer of the state department, but he was
disappointed, and so were MIR. and Mrs.
Blaine. 1t Is alleged that MrA Blaine does
not hesitate to say that Walker Blaine's
death was due largely to his disappoint-
ment in not getting the office he wanted.
The next important place Mr.. Blaine
asked the President for was a vacant brig
adler generalship for Col. Coppinger, his
son .in-Iaw. The President declined to
make that appointment, and for the very
good reason that there we're about thirty
colonies who were ahead of Col. CoppinRer
on the list of colonies, and that to appoint
Col Coppinger over the heads of all of them
would be 30 unjust that it would create very
great dissatisfaction In the army.
But Mrs. Blaine was not disposed to be
reasonable. She called on the President
herself. and requested Col. Coppingers ap-
pointment, aud when the President told her
why he could not grant it, she told him, it
is said, that his refusal would cost him
dearIy-that it would prevent him from
being renominated. 1t looks. therefore. as
if a disappointed and angry woman is
the real cause of the open rupture between
the President and his Secretary of State.
And it is more probable that Mrs Blaine
is urging Mr.. Blaine to accept the presi-
Dental nomin alton II offered to him. 1t is
not believed that she particularly desires
that Mr.. Blaine shall accept the nomination
dent from getting it. She knows that his
health Is not good and that there is good
ground for thinking he would break down
before the campaign was half over.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Blaine was
sincere when he wrote his letter to Chair
man Clarkson. saying his name wouldn't go
before the Minneapolis convention, but his
| failure to get the favors he asked and the
refusal to give him credit for what he has
done has so embittered him against the
President that he is now willing to lend
himself to almost any scheme to defeat the
| Presidents denomination.
And a woman is at the bottom
of this effort to beat Gen. Harrison
II Mrs Blaine had not been so vindicetive
it is highly probable that Mr.. Blaine would
have retained bis office until the close Of
the Harrison administration.
