Owing to the great amount OF in

Canada, it is we'll to be informed OF
some OF the facts that are bringing
about the great emigration from per
tions of the United States.
The Canadian government has au-
thorized agents at different points, and
the facts related in the following may
be corroborated on application. AT the
same time they will be able to quote
you rates, and give you certificates en-
titling you to low rates on the differ
ent lines of railway. The following
letter copied from the North Bend
(Neb) Eagle is an unsolicited testi-
monial, and the experience OF Mr.
Auten is that of hundreds OF other
Americans who have made Canada
their home during the past seven or
eight years:
II presume some may be interested
to know how we have progressed this
year in the Canadian Northwest. We
have no complaint to offer. We have
had a good year, crops were good and
we have had delightful season.

1t appears that General Pratt, who
formerly presided over the Indian School
at Carlisle, is opposed to the present
system of Government education of
the Indians says the Massachusetts,

they mingled more with white people

ANDREW JAcksoN's BIG ESTATE.
How He Gained $4,000 Acres as Fees
in Law Cases He Tried.


There are two ways of reaching
the Hermitage from Nashville-either
by carriage the entire distance, or by
train TO the little station called Her
mitage, thence by conveyance or foot
the remaining three miles. In either
case, says a writer in Four-Track
News, the way leads among the rug
ged hills Of sunny Tennessee"
through native forests which we may
easily imagine look just as they aid in
the latter part of the eighteenth cen
fury, when Andrew Jackson, a young
man who had just completed brief
ard very unsystematic course of
reading law" placed all his worldly
goods and himself on the back of his
one horse and turned his face from
the Carolinas TO the then wilderness
of eastern Tennessee to make his for
tune.
The land records Of 17947 show
that 1t was during those years that
Jackson laid the foundation for the
large estate he afterward owned. He
was the only lawyer in that region in
the early days-days when money
was scarce and land was cheap and
a lawyers fee for conducting case
of no very great importance might
easily be $40" q square mile Of
land. In few years he was the own
er of over $4,000 acres, which he ac-

To Eli Up Her Time.

The family who had lived for ten
years in the small house owned by old
lady Crocker had moved away. She
asked her agent to secure some quiet
and desirable tenants for the property
as soon as possible.
The agent advertised and within a
few days had a call from a man, who
asked numerous questions about the
house.
''There are seven good sized rooms"
said the agent, "and an excellent cellar.
How many are there in your family?"
"NIy wife and myself and twelve chill
dren," said the man.
"Ah," said the agent, I'm afraid that
would hardly do, as Mrs. Crocker is old
and something of an invalid and lives
next door, She is not particularly fond
Of children"
"Well," and the man looked indig-
nant Il shouldn't think she'd mind;
there are only five little ones"
But the agent shook his head
Its all right anyway" said the man,
with a quick change of base. Il don't
believe there's land enough around that
house, and it's too near the city. What
l really want is a place farther out,
with an acre or so of ground and
barn and chance to keep COW and
chickens and room to grow some vege-
tables, so my wife will have something
to take up her spare me."-Youth's

The Belief Was Once Held That 1t

A belief that the mariners. compass

tanned by number of ancient MeXi-
can companions and allies of Herman
do COrtes. His habit of consulting his
compass and chart in his advance
through the country and the ease and
assurance with which he reached
whatever town or village he deter
mined to make for tended to confirm
this idea.
In the estimation of the MeXicans
the compass was a universal oracle.
Accordingly in one of the conspiracies
which We're set on foot against COrteS
by the AZtecS a number of the natives,
most likely innocent OF what was in
contemplation, were earnest in entreat-
ing COrtes to have recourse to his in
fallible guide, the compass, that he
might ascertain for their mutual salts
faction that they at least were faith
full. COrtes himself records the singu-

and their request in a letter addressed
to the Emperor Charles V. Their be-
lief. he adds, was one in which he took
care to confirm them.

TRUTH TRIUMPHS.

Error gains many a temporary tri-

truth. There is substance in truth that
in the last balance outweighs error.

by unfolding, changing, ripping up, un-
doing, redoing. By contrast and con-
