CANADA AND UNITED STATES.
A story They Are Telling the other
Side of the Line.

/
A writer in the Toronto Printer and
Publisher, commenting on the tendency
of some of our United States cousins
TO indulge in "ta1l talk" recalls an in
cident that occurred in Montreal ct 1he
time that the press of the United States
was threatening that the $5,50o,000
awarded to Canada by the Halifax arbi-
tration would not be paid.
Lord Dufferin had just got back from
a visit to Washington. There had been
objections raised in congress to pay
ing the money. Lord Dufferin saw that
joke would relieve the strain. He
looked round the large banqueting hall
of tho Windsor hotel and remarked
with pretended solemnity: "No, gen
tlemen, 1 have not brought it back in
my pocket. Our $5,5O0,000 of fish money
was not handed to me across the coun-
ter by the president" lie went on to
say that he never oven looked as If he
wanted it, so convinced was he that al
was right. In fact, he had heard that
Gen. Ben Butler and others were going
to move that the furniture in the con-
gressional buildings should be pawned
rather than that the States should re-
main in Canada's debt an hour longer
than was necessary. He had not men
toned the matter to the secretary of
state, but diplomatists had their own
way of settling these things. They did
not dispute like washwomen over u tub.
a nod. wink, meant great deal. The
secretary Of state had maintained II
pregnant silence, and" said Lord Duff
ferin, las speech is silver and silence is
golden, knew from the secretnry's ST.
lence that he was not only going to pay
up like n man, but pay up in gold like
gentleman"
When this speech was telegraphed to
the United States press there was roar
of laughter from one end of the re-
public to the other. The pettiness OF
THE dispute was recognized, and the
money was paid over in a few weeks.

one which 10 likely to prove OF great
Importance to scientists, when
probable relic Of a prehistoric age was

large fiat slabs of rock. Little atten'
zion was paid to them at first, but one

tool, and his attention was attracted

The rocks. A closer inspection showed
many impressions on the slabs, and
