mental Purposes
The Canadian parliament has been
convulscd with the question OF protec-
tive duties, almost equal 20 that OF the
national congress Of the United States.
Very truly have the friends OF protec-
tion in Canada said: 1T should not
be forgotten by our electors OF Canada
that when the liberal party ask them
10 abandon protection 20 home indus
tries, they are asking them TO do a
thing which the people OF every other
country in the world, with the single
exception OF Great Britain, have re-
fused TO do"
Sir John Mcdonald is quoted as hnv-
ing said, upon certain occasion:
"The American farmer raises his one
hundred bushels of barley and starts
for his market and receives one hun
dred dollars. The Canadian farmer
raises his ono hundred bushels of bar
ley and starts for the American mar
lset and is met by the government of
ficer 20 whom lac must pay fifteen dol
lars, before he can put it upon the
market where he receives his one hun
drcd dollars, so that he returns home
with only eighty-tive dollars, having
left the other fifteen dollars with the
American custom house officers" Pro.
lection compels Canada 90 pay
tribute 20 the United States.
What is said in the foregoing aptly
illustrates the workings and methods
OF protection throughout the world.
The people OF the United State nre
now beginning 20 realize the truth OF
this practical method OF raising rcvo-
nue., since the whole country has been
thrown into a panic for nearly two
years by the promised change in the
bill now before congress.

recently been furnished by the New

authenticated by the Lcxow commit

A PARTISAN POLICE TRICK.
How "A Prominent Vicomtesse Recovered n
PnCkare of Love Letters.


A we'll known Partisan lady of unexcep-
tional social emiuence was anxious to re-
cover some letters from popular clubman,
whom she had first loved and then hated.
She addressed herself to the project of po-
lice at Paris and induced that functionary
to help her to recover the letters
There is in France a law, more honored
in the breach than its observance, which or
dams that no one shall wear in his button
hole or lapel of his coat the rosette or rib
bon of any foreign order without previous
ly having obtained permission of the grand
chancellere of the Legion of Honor. No
body except members of the French diplp-
matte corps and of the army and navy ever
goes 70 the trouble of getting the permits
sion. and have never known anybody to
be sentenced to Imprisonment or even fined
for the infraction of this statute if statute
it can be called.
One afternoon the clubman in question
was visiting the annual exhibition of pic,
lures at the Cercle de l'Union Artistique,
when suddenly, while in the act of leaving
the club, he was arrested by two policemen
in civilian dress, hustled into cab and
driven off to the depot of the prefecture of
police.
There he was kept for "A hours in custody,
and was only released late on the following
day, with severe admonition on the part OF
one of the commissaries of police for wearing
in his buttonhole the light blue and white
rosette of the order of Charles III Of Spain
without having obtained the permission tC
do so from the chancellerie of the Legion OF
Honor
On returning home he found that during
his absence a commissary Of police and sew.

and carefully ransacked his papers-madt

phraseology-an had removed all the let

OF course it was hopeless for him TO en-.

thus perpetrated for in France, and indeed
almost everywhere else on the continent,

but the shot rolled off from her plated
shield, scarcely leaving dent. At the
same time the ram sent % pound shot
through the Hartford, killing and wound
ing 3 men.
It had been Farragut's purpose in this
attack to drive the flagship upon the low
protruding decks of the ram. The wooden
hull of the Hartford would Of course be-
crushed in the encounter, but with II hold
full of water she would weigh down tho
Tennessee and send her to the bottom.
The cagerncss of the ram to avoid the blow
made it the more evident that the plan
was feasible, and Farragut ordered ni'
ship forward the second time, but the Lack
awanna came stcaming up on the same
hazardous crrand and cut into the Hart
ford amidships, knocking two portfolios
into one, upsctting a heavy Dahlgrcn and
completely dcmoralizing nearly all on
board. Undaunted, the admiral ordered
his ship ahead again. but the LHckawan-
ma, which had backed off, came up on the
other side and barely escaped giving the
flagship IA second blow.
As the Tennessee backed off from the
Hartford she dropped into the midst of the
fleet, target for 100 guns, whose concen-
tratcd shots began to tell ON her vulnerable
parts Her flagstaff disappeared and the
smokcstack also. Her heavy iron port
shutters the second weak point in her con
struction, became jaInmcd by the heavy
solid shots rained upon them and could
not be opened to run out the guns for fir
ing. Admiral Buchanan and the pilot had
been wounded, and as finishing disaster
the ruddcr chains, which were exposed on
the deck, were cut in two by AN II inch
shot from the monitor Chickasaw, which
had hung close under the stern of the ran

The Tennessee soon drifted helplcssl!
upon the strong tide. The Hartford, Lack

sn different quarters steamed at her fun
! speed while the monitor Chickasaw pound
ed away ut her stern.
Suddenly the cannonading ceased, and
its echoes died away amid the cheers of the
sailors of the whole fleet The Tennessee
had struck her colors to the Ossipee.
Not a single shot had passed through
her shields, and only one had punctured
the wooden backing underneath the armor.
Her loss was only two killed and nine
wounded, and had her machinery and ap
paratus been as effective as her shield the
battle of Mobile Bay might have had q
different ending. The surrender Of the
forts soon followed that of the ram.

Ne let them be just for IA little while;
We cannot bear TO put them yet away
The vacant high chair OF little child,
The torn hat, but worn the other day,
Or the low footstool where our dear ones feet
Had rested, or the fathers easy chair,
That never more will hold the manly form
We let them stand: the room would look toe
bare.
We gaze out in the waning, fading light;
The books and music mock us in the room;
Our hearts are with that new made grave in
the night,
All dark and shadow haunted in the gloom.
God pity those who wait in vain TO hear
The sound of feet that ne'er viii tread again,
Or long to kiss white faces hid away
In their deep beds beneath the snow and rain.
The wind from out the harp of nature chants
A dirge above them as ii passes by;
The dead leaves, tears of autumn, sadly fall
Upon our sleeping ones as still they lie.
Oh, ye who never DER dead loved ones wept,
Who ne'er kissed cold hands and faces white
And held out empty arms and hearts TO God,
Can never know the pain we feel tonight!

Faint not; all victory comes through strife
What if dark clouds make up your sky,
