Told Them to Help Themselves.

A queer story CT anarchism comes
from Italy. Not long ago the labor
ers on the estate OF a rich proprietor
named Nal, living near Milan, came
to his house with the harvested grain.
They were met by his son, youth OF
%. who made them speech telling
them that the grain they had sown
and cut was theirs by natural right.
and bidding them take it home and
shout, Long live unarchy":' After
some pressure they obeyed, and on
the fathers return the help OF the
police was required to make them
give up the corn again. The sor
thought it prudent to leave the
country.

modest and ruin the mushroom. The

A Deficit in McKane's Accounts

The committee of citizens Of Gravesend
l.. l., engaged for the past ten days in ex-
aiming the accounts of that town have
found bonds amounting to $4,000 which
were in the possession of John Y. McKane,
and which have been hypothetical with
several financial institutions in Brooklyn
The committee has found thus far shortage
of over 5000, 900 in McKaue's accounts. His
friends say the apparent shortage in the ex-
chiefs accounts is due purely to his lack Of
business methods in conducting the affairs
of the town. The committee will not make
known the true state of affairs until the re-
port has been prepared and submitted to
the taxpayers. The few books that have
been found are in an almost inextricable
middle, McKane mixing town and personal
affairs in such manner as to greatly en-
barrass the investigators.

New Atlantic Steamship Line.

THE Canadian house of parliament has
already authorized granting half million
OF dollars as subsidy for fast Atlantic
steamship service, and one of the first mat
ters to come before the house at its meeting
this week is to ask for quarter of million
more. Mr.. James Huddart, the promoter
of the Canadian-Australian line, has signed
a provisional contract with the Canadian
government for an Atlantic service, and he
has gone to England to endeavor TO raise
the money. The scheme is to make the
Canadian-Australian line and the fast At
lantic line into one company with total SUBJ
sides of a million dollars from the British,
Canadian and Acknowledgements The
measure is sure to be bitterly opposed. 1t
is claimed that no Canadian line can pay
unless it has for its winter port Boston or
Portland, and Mr.. Huddart's agreement is
that Halifax shall be the winter port. Any
loss the line meets with will have TO be paid
by the Canadian people, and it is on this
ground that the liberal party will justify its
opposition to the subsidy.

TENNysoN ON SPRING.-We have the word
OF Alfred Tennyson for it that in the spring
the young mans fancies lightly turn to
thoughts of love. 1t is singular that the
great laureate omitted to mention the fact
that it is in the spring that a considerable
portion OF the human race turn to taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Probably nothing but
the difficulty of finding good rhyme for
that invaluable remedy deferred him. Ger
tain it is that the old-time domestic RENEE
dies are generally discarded in favor of the
standard blood purifier Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, which has attained the greatest pop
ularity all over the country as the favorite
spring medicine. 1t purifes the blood and
gives nerve, mental, bodily and digestive
strength.

sion of Bamjur, which they burned. The
loss to the natives in killed and wounded is
