laid out and thoroughly seasoned, from
the calling of the convention to order
down the appearance of the lion of the

Attalie Claire and Lillian Russell, two
queens of the stage, are in a great row
because at Boston last week Claire re-
ceived bouquet and Lillian did not.
Lillian became jealous, and both of the
creatures poured their angry words into
reporters ears. They appear in the
same play, and IN the third act they are
required to fall upon each others necks
and weep tears of affection and love.
After the news of the quarrel circulated,
a great crowd came out to see them per-
form this act, which they did, it is said,

Why Cauada's Indian Policy Ia:

Julian Ralph, in Harpers for March.
/ have read General Clusters theory
that the United States had to do with
meat-eating Indians, whereas the Cana
dian tribes are largely fish-eaters, and l
have seen 10000 references to the better
Indian policy of Canada; but l can see
no difference in the two policies, and be-
tween the Rockies and. the great lakes
| find that Canada had the Stonies,
Blackfeet, and many other fierce tribes
of buffalo hunters. 1t is in the slow,
close growing acquaintance between the
two races, and in the just policy Of the
Hudson bay men toward the Indians,
that see the reason for Canada's envia-
bic experience with the red men.

has mother and sisters even now wait
ing with agonized hearts to hear from
him. But, during this series of battles,
such great numbers Of wounded were
daily sent to hospital that it was quite
impossible, especially in the case Of pri-
vate soldiers, to give in their names,
much less the address of their friends,
and it sometimes happened that, the
patient himself being delirious and no
other at hand who knew him, this in
formation could not be obtained for
some little time; hence the anxious
nurse could only wait until her charge
should be restored to consciousness.
At last. one night, eight days after
the Wilderness fight, the wounded youth
fell into deep. calm sleep; the surgeon
said all danger was past and that when
he awoke his mind would probably be
clear.
His fair attendant could not have
told, if asked, why she felt an especial
interest in this particular sufferer, but,
from some mysterious cause she did,
and therefore requested the surgeon to
allow her to remain by the cot through
out the whole night instead of being re-
l;eved at twelve o'clock as usual. So,
