in an efficient manner. Ice cream and cake
were on sale in the dining room after the en-
tertainment, and this was followed by games
for which Mrs. Caro- Berry very kindly presid-
ed at the piano. The teacher, Miss Sprowl,

Parliament The first series of "Sam
Slick" papers appeared in the Nova
Scotian, weekly paper published in
Halifax, of which Joseph Howe was the
editor. In 1887 they were published in
book form under the title of The Clock
maker; or the Sayings and Doings of
Samuel Slick of Slickville," and others
followed in 1888 and 1910, and were wide
ly read and enjoyed. The reciprocity
question has directed the attention of a
writer in the Boston Herald to this we'll
nigh forgotten author of rs years ago;
and of his writings it is said:
1.-The dialect is not specially true to
that of the rural New Highlander, and
the humor is somewhat crude, though
hardly coarse. There is deal of shrewd
wisdom in the sayings of Slick, how
ever, and the author has ingenious'y man
aged to hit the defects of both nations,
sometimes in his own words sometimes
in the dialect of the clockmaker."
The following paragraph from the second
chapter of the first series of sketches is
of interest as illustrating the changes
that have taken place since it was writ
ten:
had heard of Yankee clock peddlers,
tin peddlars and Bible peddlers, espec-
tally of him who sold Polyglot Bibles
(all in English to the amount of l6, 00C
pounds. The house of every substantial
farmer had three substantial orna-
ments, a wooden clock, tin reflector
and PoIygIot Bible. How is it that an
American can sell his wares, at whatever
price he pleases, where bluenose would
fail to make a sale at all? | will inquire
of the cockmaker the secret of his sue
cess.
The clock peddler, and the lightning
rod agent who succeeded him, are seen
no more; and now we find in the farmers
homes a sewing machine, a piano OF
organ, and photograph. The Bible we
take for granted Perhaps we should
add that the telephone is now found in
most farmers homes, and the list of mod
ern conveniences and improvements
might be further extended.
Sam Slick was an enthusiast for rail-
roads, then in their infancy. He shrewd-
ly hits the economics of the railroad in
this opinion:
What is it that letters the heels of
young country? The high price of labor,
l guess. Well, what's railroad? The
substitution of mechanical for human
and animal labor on scale as grand as
our great country. Labor is dear in
America and cheap in Europe. A rail-
road, therefore, is comparatively no
manner of use to them to what it is to
us-it does wonders there, but it works
miracles here. There it makes the old
younger, but here it makes the child a
giant. To US it is river, bridge, road
and canal. all in one. 1t saves what we
hadn't got to spare horses carts,
vessels, what's all in all-time.
