of the Emerald Isle, and has the credulity
to give heed to his designing attacks.
His p~ictlres of A. p. A. h~obgoblins are
more hideous than the one that pursued
Tam OfShanter. The charge is creditably
made that the only Councilman elected
on the Republican tickle whom Weston
so actively supported. is one of the rankest
A. P. AS in this vicinity, and if this be
untrue, 4. A. Warren can redeem himself
by furnishing his affidavit to the contrary
of the odium hat the -self-appointed
champion Weston, attaches to the men,
bers of that order. And this is not all:
there was one other. II not more. canGi-

your correspondent, who jumped into a
bramble bush and scratched out both his
eyes, and cannot find another to scratch
them in again; 50. groping in his igno-
rance, he is striking in the air at A. P.

an ancestor made a war on Know-Notning-

George II. Allen, of Manchester, n.
H, while making a survey in Hook
sett discovered what he believes to be
the most ancient landmark in that vi
cinity. 1t Is an old milestone bearing
the date 179S, and two Inscriptions,
one 179 NJ and something obliterated,
also under the above 80 NJ. H. 1t is
situated in the woods halfway between
the Hooksett road and the railroad on
the east side of the old turnpike or
stage road from Stanstead, Quebec, to
Newburyport, Mass, all of which is
discontinued in that section.
The fact is pointed out by Engineer
ing that for every one hundred tons of
shipping Britain possesses the United
States have only nineteen and one-half
tons, Germany sixteen and three
fourth tons, Norway thirteen tons,
France eight and one-foulth tons,
Italy six and one-fourth tons,
Spain barely five tons, Russia
four and three-fourths tons, Sweden
four and one-half tons, Holland three
and three-fourths tons, Denmark three
and one-third tons and Australia Hun
gary two and three-fourths tons. We
can well afford to see these countries
adding to their respective fleets, espe-
cially when, as our contemporary
shows, the increase is still nearly three
British tons even to one German, or
two to one of the United States. The
total tonnage of the ships frequenting
British ports is 1868, ,966 tons. and 10.6
per cent. Of this is British owned.

Demora1izing Influence of the Big
Long-Distance Shells.
There is something devilish in the
crack and scream and explosion which
follow the firing of one of the big Creu-
sot guns. When the gun is fred the
shell gets long way ahead of the
sound, so that at short ranges the
projectile would hit before one heard
the report. But in it's long flight of
more than five miles across the valley

and goes a bit slower. A little more

It's SaddeSt AsDect.

The Liverpool Post, calling atten-
tion to the report OF DR.. Wiglesworth
on the Rainhill asylum, says: ''The
evil of drunkenness has many sad as
poets. But perhaps the saddest of all
is the fact that as drunkenness increas-
es SO does insanity. Last year 1856 pa
tients were admitted to the asylum as
a result of drunken excess. OF these
7S were women. During the year 3s

end of December over 13O remained, of
whom less than so are regarded as cur
able. This refers to one year only and

He Engaged the Toy.

DR.. McTavish, of Edinburgh, was
something of a ventriloquist, and it be-
fell that he wanted a lad to assist in the
surgery, WHO must necessarily be of
strong nerves.
He received several applications, and
when telling lad what the duties were
in order to test his nerves, he would
say, while pointing to grinniDg skele-
ton standing upright in a corner:
part of your work would be to feed
the skeleton there, and while you are
here you may as well have try to do
So"
A few lads would consent to trial,
and receive a basin of hot cruel and a
spoon.
While they were pouring hot mass
into the skull the doctor would throw
his voice so as to make it appear TO pro-
ceed from the jaws of the bony Gus
toner, and gurgle out:
"Gr-r-r-gr-h--uh! That's hot!'
This was too much, and, without ex-
ception, the lads dropped the basin and
bolted.
The doctor began to despair of ever
getting a suitable helpmate until a
small boy came and was given the
basin and spoon.
After the first spoonful the skeleton
appeared to say:
'Gr-r-r- -uh-r-hr! That's hot!'
Shoveling in the scalding cruel as
fast as ever, the boy raped the skull
and impatiently retorted:
"Well, jist blow ont, We auld bonyv
The doctor sat down on his chair and
fairly roared, but when the laugh was
over he engaged the lad on the spot

Notice has been received at the
Swedish and Norwegian consulate i'll
New York that the king of Sweden and
Norway has decided to reward persons
who have found objects belonging to
the Andree polar expedition, and that
fund has been set aside for rewards
for persons who may hereafter find OBJ
jects rom the expedition. 1t is sup
posed that the hope of reward is meant
to be an incentive to whalers and other
mariners who go far north to search for
traces of the explorer and penetrate
places out of the beaten path for that
purpose.

10 cents you could get some delicious
lamb chops and fried potatoes. But
bread and butter were extra, while a
dish of milk toast was Is cents. You
see that meant that they raise cattle
out there for their meat and not for

several years l was in such wretched
health that life was almost a burden.

help. 1 concluded to write to you for
advice. In a few days l received such
akind, motherly letter. 1 followed your
