cheap meat and defeat foreign wiles at

This view is actually being forced up
on the attention of the board Of ag1icul-
ture, and American shippers had better
understand that the pressure is really
influential. Of course the bogy of pleuro
pneumonia has been raised, but this is
to be laid III an artful manner. The
board Of agriculture object to remove
the existing prohibition of tho importa-
tion of live Canadian cattle because the
disease exists iii Canada, and they de-
cline to run the risk OF bringing it into
this country and then having to stamp
it out at vast expense. 'sBut, say the
Canadians, 1--WE still deny the existence
Of the disease. But, admitting that there
is some risk we are prepared to take
all Of il. Admit our cattle, and if you
should be able to trace a single case of
the outbreak of the disease to one Of our
beasts we will guarantee to defray tho
entire cost Of stamping it out =
That is the scheme now under consid.
Grafton 1t remains to be seen whether
it will tempt the board OF agriculture
The probabilities are that it's very nov
city will induce the board to refuse to
have anything to do with it, because, as
u rule, newness is Oh tho face Of it q
distinct disqualification to anything sub
mitted 70 any British government de-
partment #-=E..

Eo Got 1t From Professor Proctor's Story
About an Old Kentucky Negro.
President Cleveland has a new word.
When any one comes to see him on a
matter Of business now, he says, "Well,
now, let's 'spute' about it. y He got the
word from a story Professor Proctor.
the civil service commissioner, told him
Of an old negro down in Kentucky who
was very powerful in theological con-
troversy aud was looked up to by the
colored people Of that section as the
ablesu exponent Of the Scriptures, white
or black, they had ever seen. The old
gentleman had worsted all debaters,
and, like Alexander, sighed for new
worlds to conquer. Professor Proctor.
with parry of friends, happened to
visit the plantation upon which he lived,
and while they were sitting on the pi-
azza one morning the great controyer
sialist appeared with a pair of horn
framed spectacles ON his nose and big
Bible under his arm. Shutting up to
the steps, h, took off his hat, made a
low bow, and in most dignified and
respectful manner said:
"Good mawning, good mawning. !
done come up to see if any Of you all
white gennermens nd like to 'spute er
bout der holy Scriptures dis mawning. "
The president was very much amused
by the story and has clung to the word,

meetings and in social as we'll as official
conversations
