There arc Republican leaders who expect to use Ben Harrison's backbone for a toboggan slide, says an American pupor, antl another asks: Up or down 1 ' The pnst-oflicu at Mineral Point Ool., 12,000 feet above tlio sea level- is the highest post-office in the United States. But the postmaster says his salary is about the lowest. "Are the young ladies of tbe present day fit for wives?" aaked a lecturer of his audience. "They aro fit for husbands," responded a feminine voice; "but the difficulty is that you men are not fit for wives." The applause was great, as was the discomfiture of the leoturer. , A mummy sent by Maspero, the Egyptologist, to friends in France, was halted at Marseilles by a customs officer who opened the case, and, unable to find anything about duties on Pharos on his printed list, classified it as "dried fish," and levied the corresponding 0. O. D. duty. , It was Bilkins'wedding day, and he was teasing his "kid" brother-in- law.—"Well, Johnnie," he snid, solemnly, "I'm going to take your sister away oil' uud havo lu'r all to myself, where you won't see her any more." "Ko! Really, are you?" said the "kid/' curiously. "Yes, I Dm. What do-you think of it 1" "Nothin'; I guess X can stand it if you can." A mortar-mixer was observed to be heating his kettle of coffee the other day in ;v way which was no novelty to him hut seemed -strange to a reporter. He dug a hole in a pile of sand, placed a lump of lime in it, sprinkled some water on the lime, placed his kettle on it, and banked sand up around it. When 12 o'clock struck he shouted, "Come to tay; your coffee's a h_\in."--Ea:. A Connecticut merchant of Russian birth has -been arrested on his return to his native country and is about to be transported to Siberia, Tt is said that avoidance of military service is tho cause of his punishment. It is in order to know, first, whether ho is an American citizen, and next what is the real nature of his offense. Avoidance of military duty seventeen years ngo cannot be entertained against nn American citizen, r.'1-ii.i has always been our good frii'i.i'1 ami the Ozar may be disposed to listen to reason,—Am. papa: According to the Chicago Tribune's figures the lowest cost for getting cattle ready for market is 2£ cents per pound. "An average bullock weighing 1,000 pounds costs the producer $25, He is sold for $30, whioh gives the raiser 20 per cent, profit. Aftor passing -through tho slaughter-house, his hide, meat, tallow, eto., are sold for 037, a profit of 23 por cent. Then the retailer takes the 500 pounds of dressed meat for $30. Ho gets 18 eents a pound for choice cuts and an average of seven for the rest, making a total $48,70, an advance of more than 60 per cent." The London and China Telegraph says that the young Emperor of China "has a serious hesitation in his speech, and speaks very slowly and with considerable difficulty. He is quiet in disposition, and \ery obstinate when once lie has formed an opinion, He has a very large head and thin, pointed face. He is considered decidedly clever. There are strong indications that the Emperor intends to rule in fact as well as in name, nnd is determined not to allow his father to interefero. in tho government of the country at all. Prince Chun, the Emperor's father, has managed to maintain" himself in offico and power, uud will probably make strong efforts io continue to do so, but it seems pretLv certain that tho Emperor does not intend to permit tliiaj ami consequently a struggle is almost Buro to occur," Every man lins 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents, 10 gront-great-grandparents, 32 great-great-greatgraudpareuts, etc. Now, if we reckon 25 years to a generation, and carry ou the above calculation to tho time of William tho Conqueror of England, it will be found that each living person must have hnd 35,000,000 of ancestors. Now, supposing wo mako the usual allowance for crossing or intermarrying of families in a genealogical line, and for tho same person being in many of the intersections of the family tree, still there will remain a number at that period even to cover the whole Norman and Anglo-Saxon races. What, therefore, might have been pious, princely, kingly, or aristocratic, stands sido by side in line with the most ignoble, pleliiiui, or democratic. Eaoh mnn of the present day may he certain of hiving had, not only barons and squires, but even crowned heads, dukes, princes, or bishops, or renowned generals, barristers, physicians, oto., among his ancestors.—Baltimvre Suit.

The writer of the letter, William S. Marsh, who was formerly master of arms ou the corvette Bear, of the Groely relief expedition, wai in charge ot Legitime'! forces in the action. The fight resulted in an overwhelming victory for the attacking party. The town was wrecked and many prisoners were taken. For his bravery, Legitime promoted Marsh to the rank of general of artillery. ERICSSON IS DEAD. New York, Mar. 8.—Captain John Ericsson, the world's famous engineer and designer of the Ericsson monitor, died shortly before ono o'clock this morning. TUB GREAT ENGINEER. New YoiiK.March. 8.—Capt Ericks- son, who died last night, was ouly 111 about a week. A physician was summoned when he waa Brat taken down, but owing to the advanced age of the patient medical skill failed to rally him. Tho deceased was one of a fam* ily of engineers, his brother and nephews having all gained renown in Europe by tho originality of their engineering feats. Captain Erioksson, at the ago of 10, constructed a mini- ture sawmill and pumping machine that attracted great attention in Sweden at tho time. At the age of 17 ho entered tho Swedish army as ensign and rapidly received promotion for ingenuity displayed in getting up planB of fortifications and maps. During his early manhood he was to Europe what Edison is to America. He invented, within three years, four different mechanical contrivances, which were patented in 1839. Ericks- son came to America in 1841, and began to build the Princeton, the first naval vessel that carried her machinery under the water line, out of reach of hostile shot. This vessel dictated reconstruction to the (leeta of the world. In 1861 Ericksson built the Monitor, completing her in 100 days from the laying of tno keel plate, and sho arrived in Hampton Bonds juat in time to defeat, in March, 1862, the Confederate iron-clad Merrimac, which had destroyed tho Union frigates Congress and Cumberland, and wns about to sink or disperse the rest of the government wooden fleet But for the Monitor the whole fate of the war might have been changed and European interference attempted. Ericksson was in his 86th year. - ■ • ■j - A HOOF FAUS. Cinoinatti, March 8.— A force has been engaged for several days past tearing down the building containing the cyclorama of the Battle of Gettysburg, preparatory to | removal to St, Louts. About 0 o'olock thii morning tho heavy roof fell with a crash, bury- in.-; several persons in the ruins. Peter St. Peters, a laborer from Chicago, aged 33, fell 30 feet from the top of a derrick and wus severely bruised aud suffered , severe internal - injuries. Adam McCarthy, a laborer, was itruck by the falling roof and badly injured. Sol Cohen, a peddler, who ventured into the building, was caught in the falling timbers aud both arms broken.

Niw York, Mir. 8.—President Adams of tho Union Pacifio and President Starris of Northern Paoific are holding a conference to-day, the subject being the purclinsu of tho Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, THE WEATHER. San FnANeisro, March 8.--Fair weather in Eastern Washington Tor- ritoiy and rain elsewhere is predicted for Oregon and Washington for the succeeding 24 hours. GUILTY AND NOT ill II.TY. San Francisco, March 8.--Charles E. Nobmann, the grocery clerk who accidentally shot and killed Louis Hnckot, n young collector, with a parlor rifle yesterday afternoon, was exonerated by the coroner's jury this iimming. The police, however, arrested him and charged him with murder. THE NEW MINISTER. New York, Mar. 8.—The Tribune's London special says: Sir Julian Paunceforte leaves England for Washington at the end of this month. His Orst viiit will be a brief one. He will roturn to London for the summer and not settle at Washington as British minister till the autumn. Lord Salisbury's political opponents give him credit for having mado a wise choice. I asked one of them, perhaps better qualified to judgo than any other living liberal, whether he thought Sir Julian likely to do well at Washington. "In my opinion," iniwered he, "there oould not be a better appointment." ADVOCATING PROTECTION. Ottawa, Mar. 8.-—Sir Charles Tupper, in a speech in the Commons lost night, advocated the policy of protection. DOMINION PARLIAMENT, Ottawa, March 7.—Hon. C. Tupper, minister of marine and fiiheriei-, reaumed the debate thia afternoon on the budget. The galleries were crowded. Sir Charles Tupper and Lady Tupper, parents of tho miniiter, occupied seats in the speaker's gallery. The speaker wu aggreaalve from the ■tart. After eulogising the minister of finance, he proceeded to direct for a few minutes tho undivided attention of the house to Sir Richard Cartwright. He desired to tell Sir Richard Cartwright that the houso in tho first place would not tolerate the attacks made upon the members of tbe government. Sir Richard should equally ceaae from preaching his time-worn ideas at the people at all. Tho electors during the past ten years had pronounced in favor of Sir John Macdonald'i policy. Proceeding, Mr. Tupper went on to Bhow what outsiders thought of the destiny uf Canada. He read extracts from a letter written by Prof. Schurman, Ithaca, N. Y., to show that Canada is the home of millions of immigrants and has a future equally as great as the United States. The Dominion has made great progress since confederation. The Americana, be contended, would like to secure Canada aa a slaughter market, although they would be unwilling to grant Canada rociprocity. The homo market is the most valuable and it would be well to build up a foreign trade after the establishment of domestic industries. Mr. Tupper went on to justify the enormous expenditure on railways, which have revolutionised the transportation of tho traffic of the oountry. Canadians were not of the cringing kind and though willing to promote closer trado relations with the United Statea, on equal terms, would never make a base surrender of their interests. After recess Mr. John Charlton took t he floor for the opposition. He opened by favorably criticising Mr Foster's budget-effort nnd his bright financial anticipations. He believed the finance minister waa in earnest and meant businesa, but ho doubted that he would be able to make much headway bb he waa connected with a party whose lavish expenditures were notorious. LOCAL PARLIAMENT Yesterday'* Ffocrallngi la tbe Proviu- elil Lealslitare Victoria, March 7.—The speaker took the chair at 2:15 p.m. In the absence of a clergyman the customary prayers were not read.

Paris, Mar. 8.-—Copper ihares continued declining to-day. The Bank of France hu advanced one hundred million francs to the Comptoir De Escompte, aufficent to cover the a- mount of deposits withdrawn. The failure of the syndicate is not thought likely. The Rothschildi, if not directly interested, have foatered it by proxy, and would not bo unwilling to have any concern with which they are connected collapse. ARMY AND NAVY. London, March 7.—In the house of commons this evening Lord George Francis Hamilton, first lord of the admiralty, Btated that the war vessels now built would be supplied with gum by the end of 1889. It waa proposed, he said, to build 8 first-class- men-of- war of 14,000 tons; 4 of the Pandora clus; 2 of 9,000 tons; 9 firat-clasa cruisers; and 18 of the Sharp-Shooter type of torpedo boots; Lord George Hamilton aaid that the total tonnage of the proposed ships would be 318,000 tons and the total cost wu £21,150,000. Lord George Hamilton aaked that £10,000,000 of the amount should be granted from the consolidated fund, the remainder to be provided for in the ordinary estimate. The programme he had outlined wu to bo executed in i yean and 6 months. Lord Charles Bereaford complained of the empirical and illogical nature of the programme. The government oould specify no real reuon why juit io many vessels, no more and know leu, ahould be built. He gave notice of an amendment that the naval force of England ought to be kept equal to that of any two of the other great powers, of of which one should be France.

Lord Randolph Ohurchil criticised the action of the government in making luch extensive proposal, which might be upset by tbe succeeding government Wreck of the Port UorpM. The Port Townaend Argus of Wednesday saya: "Yesterday afternoon intelligence wu received by the ship brokers that the bark Port Gordon, from Liverpool to Tacoma, with a general cargo of merchandise, consigned to Balfour, Guthrie & Co., had been wrecked at sea. From the meagre information it wu learned that during a storm on Feb, 27th, the vessel shifted her cargo, and laid in the trough of the sea until daahed on the rocks. The crew, with the exception of four, were saved, It was impossible to learn the names of any of them. From a telegram from Neah Bay, we learn that the tug Sea Lion left for tho scene of the wreck, to assist in saving the balance of the crew. Among the cargo of the Port Gordon wu a number of steel raila, intended fcr the Bellingham Bay road, being built to connect with tho Canadian Paoific Railway. Some time ago the cuatoma officen were, in the coune of their official businesf, notified of the departure of tho ship, and asking their permission to discharge that portion of the cargo of rails at Whatcom, after they would pay the customs duty to the deputy collector there. Acting collector of customs, Mr. Culbm, telegraphed to the department it Washington for instructions, and tho secretary of the treasury informed Mr. Cullom that he would collect the duty, amounting to about $28,000, and place the required number of inspectors on the ship, and have the rails unloaded under the supervision of the inapectore from thia office. The loss of the vessel and cargo will be a set back to the railroad, unless the cargo oan bo recovered. ■—-—— ■» The new schooner built by Watson & Bennett for Capt.

Surely our citizens no not intend to leave the Exposition Fund in its present forlorn condition. It is two or three weeks now since a subscription has been added, and while the total amount subscribed has not reached any appreciable dimensions, the months are fleeting by, and almost before the fact is realized, it will be practically too late to render material assistance to tho success of the exhibition, Not ono of our citizens, no doubt, but what takes enough interest in the mutter to wish to see a grand show at this city next fall, and many probably intend to contributo to its success; but ono of the best and surest ways to do so is to be prompt and liberal with the "sinews of war." Westminster don't want to run any one- horse show at this time. The eyes of the world are on us (at least of a good part of the world, and it is our business to attract tbe remainder). The word, honor, reputation, and prestige of the city are at stake, us well as many other things involved in the brilliant success or dismal failure of such nn event as the provincial exhibition to be held in this city next fall. Our business men especially are interested, including the real estate dealers, and, if they consult their own iuterests intelligently and shrewdly, not to refer to the higher motive of a common patriotism and loyalty tothe city's welfare, will come up handsomely and "suddenly" in aid of tho exhibition. But not only this city, but the district, and the province, are very much interested iu the success of the provincial exhibition, nnd we hope to see this interest manifested throughout the entire season in the many ways that are possible. The great Jeffery trial, in Toronto, which occupied seven weeks before a court of enquiry of the Methodist church, was terminated on tho last day of February ult,, and tho verdict delivered on the same day by the committeo having the investigation in hand. Specific chargei) of drunkenness, and of uttering slander and lies, were laid against tho Rov. T. W. Jeffery, late pastor of the Western Methodist church, of Toronto, hy prominent members of his congregation. The origin of the trouble would appear to bo that Mr, Jeffery, who has the reputation of being an able and popular minister of the Methodist church, owns a rustic summer resort—a small island ~=-in the wilds of Muskoka, where he has been in the habit of spending his well-earned vacation season during the sultry summer months, " far from the maddening crowd's ignoble strife." List summor, when the "dog days" were on, Mr, Jeffery hied him to the afore-mentioned sylvan retreat, where he threw off his dignity with his coat and "boiled shirt," and unbent to nature's softest moods. But, as there was a serpent even in Eden, so, hovering round Mr. Jef- fery's rural paradise, there were those—evil minded geniuses—who took cognizance of his goings and comings, with the result that a report reachod his flock (scandal—and particularly church scandal—has swift wings, and "gets there" every time) to the effect that their dear, delightful, pious, nnd respected pastor was having n "high old time" out in Muskoka, lying around in the shade, nnd stretched at full length in tho bottom of his pleasure skiff, "gloriously drunk" on more than one occasion. This was serious, and when Mr. Jeffery returned to his chargo in Toronto, the elders of the church took the opportunity occasionally to sample his breath, to ascertain for themselves if those things were so. Tho fact that somo of them were convinced that they "smelled whisky" did not make it any more pleasant for Mr. Jeffery. The result was that the scandalized pastor rosigned his charge, and iu duo courso the committee of inquiry, which has so recently finished its labors, was instituted. The charges against Mr. Jeffery for uttering slander and lies wore based on certain utterances from the pulpit and expressions through the press, emanating from tbe reverend gentleman himself, in his own defence against the statements circulated about his alleged drunkenness, and "dressing down" somo of his defamen. The formal indictment laid against Rev, Mr. Jeffery before the inquisitorial committee, consisting of Revs. Dr. Sutherland, Perritte, Matthews, Benson, and Hooker, with Rev. Mr. Stone as chairman, by his accusers, Henry Burden, Thomas A. Perkins, W. J. Ga«e, Matthew Guy, J.J. Oiabbe, T. Eaton, and 0, R. S. Din- niek, trustees of tha Western Methodist churoh, in Toronto, was a very formidable and circumstantial document, comprising a preamble (in which Mr. Jeffery was charged generally with "conduct sinful and nnbecoming a minister of the gospel ") and seven sootions, including leven aub-sectioni. Both accused and aconser were represented before the committee of inquiry by counsel, Mr, St. John for the former, and Mr. A, Ogdon for the latter. At the trial, which was conducted in secret session throughout, Mr. Jeffery was, of courso, present at all times, but his accusers wero examined separately, the others being excluded for the time. The case against Mr. Jefleiy as to bis alleged indulgence in intoxicating liquors was shown to rest on purely circumstantial evidence, and was shattered by facts that wero brought out in the inquiry, to the effect that the injured gentleman was afflicted with heart disease, and nt times staggered and otherwise demeaned himself as if intoxicated, when taken with spasms. The "smell of whiskey" wo* very reasonably accounted for when the fact wus ascertained that Mr. Jeffery did not imbibo the " ardent," but used it as a liniment on his chest. Upon closer examination, the charges of slander and lying, and " sinful and unbecoming conduct" dwindled down very small. The verdict of tho committee of inquiry, after seven weeks of patient and conscientious examination into the grounds of the indictment, amounts practically to an honorable acquittal of Mr, Jeffery from the serious charges laid against him, a rider only being added to the effect thut, while the committee could find nothing " sinful" or "slanderous " in ! any of his statements,: the reverend gentleman should' be admonished in regard to tho " impropriety " of somo of them. This prominent case, which has excited much public interest throughout eastern Canada and elsewhere, should servo as a wholesome lesson to would-be scandal mongers, everywhere and on all occasions, causing them to think twice beforo circulating damaging rumors about anyone, on merely circumstantial grounds. As regards Mr. Jeffery's acquittal, it is stated that populur feeling accepts the result of the trial with satisfaction. The Rev. Mr. Jeffery, tho Methodist church, and the ohurch generally,are alike to be congratulated, both upon the thorough investigation and its satisfactory results. An interesting feature about the caso is the fact that the press was rigidly excluded from the inquiry room, and yet the Mail hugs itself over tho fact that it has a complete and detailed report of the proceedings of the seven weeks' trial, which it is publishing by instalments. Speaking of its achievement, the Mail indulges in mystery, and says: "We have secured it (the completo report of the proceedings) in a way known to ourselves only, but which may suggest itself to those familiar with the ro- resources of enterprising journalists and the progress of modern invention. The means used might seem marvellous to many intelligent people but would hardly surprise an Edison. It is by no means a small achievement to have carried out successfully during tbe long period of seven weeks a simple but ingenious plan for recording overy word uttered within closed doors in a room jealously guarded by watchful sentinels, surrounded by apartments occupied by officials of tlie church, and to have done so without having once aroused suspicion of our purpose may bo characterized as unique in Canadian journalism. The same ingenuity and enterprise are available for all the reportorial work of the Mail, and, when tho occasion is worth the effort, no star chamber cabal can withstand their application." Verily, great is the power nnd the resources of the modern press. JAMES CUNMGIUM. Inpurit-r ot Hardware, A;;rl--ullur.il ymplemealfl, Etc. In overy city there are individual examples of men whose connections with its business pursuits, whose prominence in all matters of public entorprise, whose record for unflinching integrity, undaunted energy, and untiring industry, make them objects of special note, not alone in their homes, but wherever exalted commercial reputation is recognized and respected, such a man have we in the subject of this sketch. Mr. James Cunningham established his business in this city in 1862 and has, through all the vicissitudes of twenty-seven years' trade, maintained the oven tenor of his way. His transactions have increased year by year, and tho circle of his customers and patrons gradually widening and his firm extending until he now controls a business un excelled by any similar establishment in British Columbia. His buildings are large and commodious and admirably arranged and appointed. All this spaco is filled with a complete and extensive assortment of hardware, agricultural implements, paints, oils, glassware, crockeryware, wall-paper, wooden- ware, stoves, tinware, hollow-ware, plumbers' goods, house furnishings, iron pipe nnd fittings. This house also manufactures tinware of all kinds and does every variety of sheet-iron cornice work, gas-fittings, plumbing, rooting, etc. There is no houso in tho trade whioh carries a more complete stock or whoso facilities surpass those of this establishment for supplying tho trade with flrst-class goods at lowest quotations. The length of time this gentleman has been in business and the success he has attained aro better recommendations than the loudest praise we could possibly give. We may mention, however, to our readers who have not yet become acquainted with this Arm, that none in the Northwest has a better reputation for fair and honorable dealing. —Mercantile Review, Lowenberg, Harris 4 Co.

Among the animals which may bo Bold to have become extinct la the coon dog of our fathom, saya tbe Bangor Industrial Journal, He waa of no particular strain of blood, but he united the keen scent of the deer-hound with the intelligence of the shepherd dog, and the tenacity of the bull dog with the stealth of the panther. With less accomplishments tban these he might have been good on a fox or deer trail; the lowing herd would have probably been safe in his keeping; he might have been able to hold his own in a flght, or have stood a chance of succeeding as a sheep stealer, but ho couldn't have been a coon dog. For your coon la a cute and tricky customer, and crammed with patience. Moreover, bo leaves behind him tho coldest, most scentless trail of any animal that runs. He leads you through the tangled swamps and deep, stony hollows. He crosses and re- crosses swift running streams. He frisks along tbo top of rough stone walls as silent and swift as a shadow. He stops within a dozen feet of some convenient wall, clean tho intervening space at abound, strikes a tree aud glides up the longest limb, runs to its extremity, and leaps a dozen feet beyond it to tho ground again, breaking his trail abruptly on one side and beginning it as confusingly on the other. He invents tactics for emergencies, and brings to overy consideration of bis welfare and that of his family a largo and level head. He plays his cards welt and the dog that would beat him must needs hold both bowers and ace, with strong cards to back them. These tbe coon dogs of our fathers alwayB bad. There were,-twenty-five yean ago, the still-hunting coon dog and the coon dog who let you know at every step tbat he was get* ting there. There was mixed up wltb the methods 'of the still-hunter an element of greater certainty tnat you would get your coon than there was with tbo more melodious system of the dog that moutbed his presence iu tho shadowy chase; but tbe style of the latter put more tingle into your blood and buoyed you up with sweeter expectancy. There was something weird and uncanny in all the turnings and windings oftho former through tbe gloomy woods at night. It was different with the dog tbat gave tongue as be hunted. He made music ln tho night—not the silvery treble of tho foxhound, floating down from tbo hills on tho frosty air and drawn out in sweet cadenza by every willing echo, nor yet the mellow bass of tbo deer houud, swelling over the ridges, clear and far-sounding as a bugle- note, but pleasant though staccato song of hts own, half bark, half bay, a cheerful mingling of melody with business. Onco in tho rare old days of coon hunting a new preacher was settled in tbe backwoods distriot of Pike County, ill. He was not wise in the way of the woods. Early in his first autumn on his charge he began the usual protracted meeting season. By and by he noticed that on moonlight and starlit nights his congregation was mode up of women only, Finally he asked the reason pf this, A Bister arose and said: "It'a 'cause the coonin's bett'n 'tis in the dark *o the moon, Dominie, Boon es tho moon darks the inen'U jine ye." - Sure enough, when the "moon darked" tho brethren were all in their places in tbe meeting-house, joining hoartily in the proceedings. Tbo pastor remonstrated with them publicly. . "While you havo been idling after coons," said ho, ''there may have been thoso tn this district who do not hunt coons, and whom you might have led here and saved their .souls." Deacon Brown rose up in the meeting and said: "Dominio, if thoi any one ln this deestric1 ei don't hunt, coons his soul hain't wuth savin'." Coon hunting as a pastime-went out of fashion with tho war, and the old race of trained coon dogs gradually became extinct. Why tbo coon has come to be despised by tho sportsmen in theso days is one of those things about which tho remark has once or twice been made that no follow can find out. He is as cunning as the fox and more difficult to trail. Hols, moreover,* the leanest of animals, and oats only the most Wholesome food. He should not bo despised, surely, because he oan be hunted only at night, for in threading the woods in tbe darkness, following dogs that you can not aee and whose baying alone breaks tho stillnoss, there Is a most singular enchantment Even when coons are most abundant, nine out of ten of tho present generation never see one, and few people know any thing about them or their habits. Although tho coon prefers the vicinity of civilization as his habitat, he plans to keep aloof from tho oyes of men, and his habits render this an easy task. By day ho lies closo in out-of- the-way retreats, in the depths of hollow trees or Isolated crevices and holes in the rooks. He wanders forth only at night, and although his foraging expeditions may bring him to the very doors of the farmers, and even within tho boundary lines of villages, he never betrays his presence If more than one coon is brought to bay hi a treo they will invariably bo females or n mother coon with her offspring. The female brings forth her litter only once in two years, and from the coining of the litter to tho arrival of another she and hor young aro never separated. Sho keeps her little family together until thoy are two years old, and In protecting them will flght tho attacking dog or hunter until ahe diet. While the femalo coon la social and domestic, the male la the reverse. He is solitary, ranges entirely alone and gives no care or attention to family matters. If two males meet ln the woods or fields they flght furiously and not infrequently to tho death. . Tlio mule makoshia range for forage much Wider than tho female doos, and having no ono to look after but himself moro frequently escapes tho hunter. In spring and summer the margin of brooks and ponds and tho soft mud in swamps aud bays are thickly indented with the graceful footprints of the coon, for in theso months ho spends his nights in catching frogs, fish, lizards, grubs and mussels, which aro then his chief subsistence. Later on ho ranges among the huckleberry und blackberry patches and feasts on tlio fruit. When tbo milk comes in the corn is the coon's gala time, for he loves the tender succulent grains, na a farmer knows to his sorrow, and great are the risks ha will take to forago in the fields. It is not until the berries are gone and tbe corn grown tough in the ear that the coon begins to look about for his winter stores. Then he laya up plentifully from the beech-nut, chestnut andaoorn crops, and on theao crops depends the hunting of the coon when ho is at his best During tho nutting season ho is fat, solid nnd wide awake, providing there, an plenty of nuts. Ono peculiarity of tho coon, which, like most of bis peculiarities, bas escaped the attention of the naturalists who write books, is that ho never touches food until ho has quaffed at aome spring or brook, even if he ia oompelled to go far to find it. Qld coon hunters say that the coon dibs ovepy mouthful of hia food Into water beforo eating it, but, like nil old hunters, old coon hunters say a great many things that it would bother them to prove, P I s» I i'siis. Without a Compass. Says old Allen Thompson I "Whcnlnm in Ihe woods I never use a compass; in fact I don't need any. There are three nti* ways that I have lor finding the points - ( the compass.

Il.iu.: Ks-markabo fnr Social atnl fit' Ic.il Freedom and Equality. Prom Hon. J3. M. Haines' new book on the Indians we extract tbefollowinginslructive statements: Missionaries, captives and others who lmve spent much time among tbe Indians unite In presenting pleasant pictures of their home life, They state that they arc generally happy, contented and comfortable. Thoy are ordinarily provident. They ure seldom without suitable food or clothing. There have been few famines among them. Tbey raised considerable corn and gathered much wild rice, which they often kept over more tban one winter. They also preserved meats and flBh. With no cause for disputes about politics or religion there wero no angry discussions. Their family and community relations were much liko those umong civilized whites. Thoy had their sports and pastimes, many of which have been adopted by the nice that succeeded them, in the possession of the country. Ho, also, they had their songs ami dances. Thoir language was pure. Tlwy havo uo terms of speech by whleh tbey could swear profanely, and if they ever do it it must bo by means of phrases learned from white men. They punished tho satnu crimes by death that civilized people do. The captlvos they took in war wero not reduced to slavery. Tlioy wero generally adopted by tho tribe, and they became members of it A mother who lost a boy in battle often adopted some white captive boy, and gave him the place of the dead onu in her homo aud heart- It is stated that the Indians did not equal the whites in mechanical skill. This is true, and for n good reason, there arc divisions of labor among the whites, but not among tho Iidlans. Tho former lew n distinct trados, devote their lives to them, and ns a ejnsequenco become very skillful and expert. Tho person who learns ono trade, however, can not pruetice another. The man who can build a boat can not shoe a horse, Uo is always dependent on somo one olse to do most of his work for him. With tho Indians such was not the case. Everyman wus a practical mechanic He was an artisan iu a general way. Ho could make a canoe, bow, arrow or fish-hook. Ho could mako any implement ho needed for war, sport orthochase. The Indians wore not idlers. The women as well as the men worked. Thore were no exceptions to tbe rulo. Tho division of labor botween the members of tho two sexes was not the sumo as with us, but it was more fair than most aro willing to allow- There wus moro. equality among tho Indtaus tban among the whites. Thoy had no titles that conveyed the idea of superiority- The few that they used denoted relationship or affectionate relations, Tbe vse of tobacco by them did not constitute a vice or even a bad habit. Tlio Indian did uot smoke when ho was at work or play. Smoking was associated with worship, meditation or hospitality. Tbo pipo was tbe symbol of peace, devotion and friendship. Tho point is made in this work that the Indians werebctter supplied wi'.h food than any uncivilised poople in tbe world. Great credit is paid thom for the ability thoy displayed iu oultivatlng corn. Thero is evory reason for believing that tho plant is of tropical origin, but tbo Indians succeeded in acclimating It to high northern latitudes, and in producing varieties that succeeded on tho northern shoroi of Lako Huporior and tho Gulf of St. Lawrence. Thoy raised good crops of corn In regions whoro tho whites havo failed. The first whito sottlers lived chiefly on corn they obtained from tho Indians and learned from thom how to cook It. Tho Indians placed a very high estimate on wild rice, which modern scion lists pronounce to be tbo most nutritious grain In the world. Tho Indium woro vory well supplied with wild fruit'. They made molasses from tho sap of tho nmplo tree and preserved it in vessels made of birch bark and wood. They studied the habits of. llsh und knew the best times and places for catching thom. They understood bow lo uso vegetables in connection with meat in making soups, Tho tabjo of tho Indian was not furnished with lino dishes, but it was well supplied with wbolosmno food. Ho had no format feasts, uo exact timo for moals, but oat vhcu ho was hungry. There was not much sentiment ubout Indian marriages. Tbe most industrious girls were the most likely to secure good husbands. Thero waa no ceremony at a wedding. Marriage and divorce were as simple as Mrs. Monti Calrd desires io make them among white people. Couples who were not prosperous aud happy together separated with no show of bad feeling. They continued to live in the same village nnd generally associated In a friendly way as they did beforo they wero married. Tho land system among the Indians was substantially that favored by Henry George, The territory belonged to the tribe thutoc- cupiodit Tbo only claim that an individual had to any portion of it was on account of the improvement ho had made. The Indian woman who with a sharpslick had prepared, hills for planting com was entitled to tbe use of that plat of ground forever. It seems somewhat strange that pet-sons who style themselves social, economic and political reformers recommend institutions tbat wero adopted by the Indians, it is possible that we shall adopt them in timo just as wo havo the Indian games of ball, polo and Ine rosso. , Tho habitation of the Indian was not a vory ornate affair. It was, however, easily erected and was quito comfortable. Thu materials that were tbo most abundant in tbe place whero it was to be erected entered into its construction. It was seldom repaired and it required no annual spring cleaning. The Indians developed great skill iu nuking many of their utaasils. Many of their stone axes, knives offl mortars were well- formed and tastefully ornamented. They displayed wonderful ingenuity in fastening handles to their stone hatchets. In somo cases thoy caused the branch of a tree to grow round and fit Into tho groove. They wore skillful basket makers, Tholr baskets wero ornamental as well as useful. They mado many small vessels of birch bark, ornamenting thom with feathers and por* cuptne quills. They used various vegetable and uiiueral pigments, In the manufacture and uso of tho bow and arrow tbo Indian has had few superiors. Tbo making or arrow heads of flint and horn i was developed by tbem into a flue art. They had all the weapons of war tho Romans used, except the long spoor und Javelin. Instead of this thoy used tho war-club, a weapin which could be employed with torriblo effect in a close encounter. Some Indians made pots of clay that wore used for many purposes. The most ingonious implement thoy mado use of wu one for producing Sro by friction. "Proud science" did nothing for the Indians, but observation and ex porlonce accomplished what science had dono for othen. „-.,,. -,..■-..■:•,_- Another Act Beqntroi.

"And do you think tho flnt act sublime?" uked the literateur. "Well, yes," wu the reply. "It Is somewhat sublime, but I think you might havo added an act that would have been more ao; an .act that would have been a benefit to the people of thla great city." ■ "And what is that?" wu the anxious Inquiry.
