A Ouaer Trnde.

In DR.. Pryde's book, Pleasant Memories

Blackwood, is a good story, which, if not
new, will at least bear repetition, Of the
late Adam Black. founder of the well
known publishing house and member Of
parliament for Edinburgh. One day soon
after Mr.. Black commenced business as a
bookseller a suspicious looking man came
stealthily into his shop, and leaning over
the counter whispered into his ear, 1--WE

A BIT OF Jewish Wit.

A striking commentary was recently
made by Russian Jew on the judicial
corruption which sustains his country.
He passed the law courts in one of the
cities of his empire and noticed fine
statue placed in front Of the building.
"Whom does this statue represent"
he inquired of passerby. why, JUS
tice, of courseT How sad" exclaimed
the Jew, that justice should be relegat-
ed to the outside of the edifce and be al
together excluded from admission with

little more freely, though still with
good deal of nervous apprehension. He
feared that in coming up he had shaken
down sufficient quantity of SCOT to be-
tray his manner of escape and give a
clew to his place of retreat. But q
glance downward at his clothes con-
WINGED him that he had little to be
alarmed about in this respect-for this
fine had never been much used, his gar
ments were not badly soiled, and he
could not perceive dirt enough below to
attract attention.
He had not long to wait before he
heard the soldiers enter the room, led by
the treacherous girl.
"Ha! he escapedw exclaimed the latter
in alarm.
The officer swore some terrible oaths
and tiercely demanded which way.
Either up the chimney or into some
other part of the house." said Fanchette.
'He was here few minutes ago."
"Quick, men, fly about, he's not up
here" cried the officer, looking up the
chimney. 1.-TWO of you run out and see
if he's on the roof, and the rest ransack
the house! If we don't find him, Well
burn it DOWN.
a hurried search was apparentlymade
of the room they We're in, and then Cap
tain Lavergne heard tho soldiers in diff
ferent parts Of the house opening and
! banging doors, shouting and cursing
He felt his situation now to be very crit
ital indeed, for should the house be
fired he feared there might be no escape
for him. After awhile the noise and tu-
multi subsidized, and every moment he
was in trembling expectation Of hearing
or seeing something to indicate that the
building was on fire, and he now re-
solved to make another bold effort for
his life. He reasoned that those sent
outside to see if he was ON the roof had
already rejoined the others, and he now
resolved to gain the roof, and if he could
do so undiscovered to venture a leaf
among the thick shrubbery at the real
of the mansion.
In the course of two or three minutes
this dangerous feat was successfully exc
cuted, and Captain Lavergne found him
self once more on the ground outside
considerably scratched and bruised, bu'
not seriously injured. He now heart
loud voices inside and hurriedly stole
away through the shrubbery.
The searching officer, not finding any
trace of the man he sought. at last be
came enraged at the treacherous CIR
and accused her of deceiving him. Thi
impression was soon strengthened int
conviction by Nine. Loufourcade an(
the other servants, and the whole affai
ended in the release of the prisoners anC

A great many farmers, particularly in
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, encour-
age the presence Of snakes in their neigh

vermin. Naturalists are now agreed
they do injury by devouring toads and
frogs, those animals being more indus

who is considered SIR JOHN THOMPSON.
the lieutenant of the governor general,
and is therefore styled lieutenant gov
ernor, and as one province is French and
Catholic and every province has its local
grievances the task is no small one.
Sir John Thompson is a native of
Nova Scotia and made his first step in
public life in 1877, when he entered the
legislature of his province. He became
attorney general in the following year,
and in 1882 became a judge of the SUI
preme court, bat three years later he
resigned to accept the ministry of justice
in the Dominion cabinet. On the death
of Sir John Macdonald he was spoken of
for the premiership, but was passed by
largely on account Of the opposition
evinced by the Orangemen on account of
his religion, as he was born and raised a
Protestant, but became Catholic.
He took the leadership of the house Of
commons and had as much power in the
government as the premier. Since Pre-
mier Abbott's appointment Sir John has
conquered prejudice by his ability, and
especially by his mastery codi6cation
of the criminal law, which was enthu-
siastically approved by. both parties. He
has many serious problems to confront,
and nearly all Of them are complicated
with the school and religious questions.

Speaking Of one feature Of the Colum-
bian exhibition, a Boston paper says that
there are no institutions in which patri-
otto Americans take a keener pride than
the schools, academies and colleges The
great common school system is our couil-
try's unique glory. To make a display
of American products and progress
which ignored the schools would be short
sighted and absurd. At the express and
repeated invitation of the directors of the
Worlds fair the educational authorities
in the several states, aided by appropria-
tions, set to work te prepare suitable ex-
hibits of the work of the schools and col
leges. Large sums of money have al
ready been expended, with promise of
the most satisfactory results, and the ex-
hibition space asked for is likely to be
too small rather than too large

Natal should join and give South Africa
the same standing Canada and Australia
now have.
Sir John Robinson is the latest au-
thority to be quoted. Born in England,
he went to Natal in early manhood, soon
became prominent and has been men,
ber of the Legislative council for twenty
nine years. He says tile movement for
confederation has been in progress for
seventeen years, Yet he caonot see that
it has made much progress, one great
difficulty being the anomalous position
of the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State. These We're settled by discon-
tented Beers and others who left the Brit
ish territories and are free republics.
Nevertheless they are cut oft from the
sea by the British colonies ana connected
with them in ways SO peculiar that only
politicians on the spot can understand
their relations.
Cape Colony and the Free State, for
instance, have ii customs nnion, and
therefore a common tariff, but Natal
would not Join it because she preferred
a much lower tariff. and the T-ansvaal
because her Boer5 opposed union of any
sort with the hated Englis!llnen. This
last feeling is giving way, and d Gus
toms union might be effected, but this
would involve IL financial system tnclud-
ing two British colonies and .wo foreign
states and deprive the colonies Of the
advantages proposed for imperial feder
alton. Prosperity, however. is d great
solvent of racial and social hutreds. and
the rapid development of tlc country is
expected to reconcile Briro,ls and white
Africanders, Beers and Zn.ys.
It is Il pleasing fact that tine writings
of Olive Schreiner have interested many
people in South Africa, and tens of
thousands Of Americans acquired their
chief knowledge Of life in that country
by reading the "Story of an African
Farm" AS indicated in her work, the
greatest difficulty in the new lands is
want of water, and with a scientific sys-
tenn of irrigation it is probable that many
millions Of fertile acres could be utilized.
