The Duties on Salt Scare.

The Toronto Mail says:—‘‘The people of the Maritime Provinces hold Mr. Me- Kenzie’s trumpeters at their proper value. For instance, how often has the Globe told them that a protective tariff will tax all the articles used in the construction of vessels— because they do so in the States. ‘‘Awful !” says the Globe, ‘‘you Maritamers will all be ruined when Sir John gets in!” Then it tells them that their fisheries will be all hampered by the salt they need being taxed. “The States do it, you know, and so will Sir John! ‘Yerrible!” And the quiet

Maritime man, who knows a_ good dea! more about United States tariffs than the Globe thinks, re

members that passage in the United States Act which admits free for ship-building pur- poses all ‘* lumber, timber, hemp, manilla, and iron and steel rods, bars, spikes, nails and bolts, copper and composition metal,” and that other United States Act which al- lows imported salt to enter free of duty whenever needed for curing fish, and says to himself, ‘‘ Yes, I fancy the rest you say about Sir John is just as true as this. We must have him in next election.” And, speaking of this article of salt, we must again beg the ‘‘ Globe,” for the credit of its order, to learn something of that it means to speak of. Yesterday, it gravely

told us, in an -article§ on salt, that ** practically, no British sali comes into Ontario. It is con-

sumed almost entirely by the Maritime Province fishermen” Well, there is such a place as Liverpool. If the Globe man will go down one block to Colborne Street, and talk with the pork-packers, they will tell they pack with nothing but Liver- pool salt, Goderich not answering so well. ‘They each use from 500 to 2,000 bags yearly of British salt, and Ontario uses many thousand bags of it. Now, when our worthy Bluenose friend, who knows pretty well where the salt which passes in ballast goes to, happens to see the Globe next week, what will he say? ‘ Why, here’s a fellow who knows all about me. He knows my politics, who Ill vote for, all about me. But he doeswt know what sal?s used next door to him in his own packing establish- ments.’ . And our Grit contemporary will be properly set down as either ignorant or dishonest.”

Canada’s Wonderful Twins.

NOW ON EXHIBITION AT THE NEW YORK APUARIUM. '

On the 28th of December last, there was born at San Benoit, a village some forty miles north of Montreal, a pair of twins— both girls, who were joined together in the most remarkable manner, different from the Siamese twins, though, and mentioned at the time in these columns. These are now on exhibition in New York, at the Aquariwin, the proprietors thereof having perfected an engagement-with the parents. The follow- ing’is‘a description of nature’s novelty, in the freak of nature referred to.

From their heads to the first lumbar ver- tebrze, the children. are possessed of per- feetly formed and entirely distinct members but below that point the bodies become one. There is not the slightest deformity about any of their organs. They have two dis- tinct sets of internal organs and four arins, but only one abdomen and two legs. Hach child controls one set of organs, but only one leg. Piercing one leg with a pin will produce signs of pain in the face of one child, while the other will be perfectly free from. any sensation. They did not act in unison. While one laughs and plays the other sleeps or cries from hunger. Sometimés they both sleep together, and when they both are awake, they have the ercatest desive to play with each other's hands. The features are very regn- lar and the face of each child is very pretty for a baby. only seven months old. . The limbs are_as large as those of an ordinary child. Where the two bodies grow into one, the buik is not increased, but gradually decreases into the usual. size. They were exhibited to a munber of plysicians on Saturday who proneunced the pair to be one of the greatest ireaks'-of nature they had ever seen. “Whey thought the two bodies were merged into one most’ natural- ly, and believed the children would live to the average age. The children have been named Rosé and Marie.

The parents are Sinn and Anne Doruin, who were born in Marseilles, France, their grand parents still living there. A few years ago Mr. and Mrs. Drouin emigrated to San Benoit and engaged in farming. They are both twenty-six years old, the husband being four days older than the wife.

the best ol health and suffers from no de- formity. The father is tall and stout. He weighs 189 pounds, is six feet high, and has the appearance of a farmer.. The mother is short and stout, and weighs about thirty pounds less than her husband. Roth par- ents are of dark complexion. They speak no English. One child looks very much like its moiher, while the other bears a striking resemblance to the father. — neat cradle and canophy covered with blue silk have been constructed at tae Aquarium for the twins. © Several elaborate silk dresses have also been prepared for them. Two rooms have been fitted up in the Aqu- arium for the residence of the parents. nina echiatualittillianeraniinnte

The Depression.

The following remarks of Dr. Tupper (at Sydney) haye the trve ring about them:—

Now, I may be asked is not the present state of Nova Scotia a state of great depression ; ard whether the Union is not one of the means which has led to that depression. I answer unhesitatingly and boldly, No. Will any in- telligent man in this county or this country pretend for a single moment that the Union has depressed the coal industry of Nova Scotia? Every person knows that the Reciprocity Treaty was repealed before Confederation, I shall show before I sit down, and, I trust, en- tirely to your satisfaction, not only that it is not in the Union that the cause of the de- pression of the coal trade is to be sought, but that the only means through which we can hope to see the industry restored is the fact that we have accomplished this Union—(hear, bear,)—and that we have this great Dominion at our back to aid and assist us in restoring it. Every person knows that the shipping industa of the country is depressed ; will any man tell me that the Union has depressed it? 1 say, No; and | will also show you that if that in- dustry is to be improved it will not be by de- stroying the Union but by supporting it. Will any person tell me that the West India trade of Halifax, the West India trade of Nova Scotia, a very large source of wealth to this country, has been changed in any measure by the fact of Union? 1 say this: that you un- derstand now that we can only hope for the bringing back of the West India trade by hav- ing a sugar trade and sugar refining at Halifax for the Dominion. You understand well thrt neither the coal industry, the shipping in- dustry nor the svgar refining industry have been injured by the Union, and not only that, but that the only means we have of restori those industries is to be found in the fact o Union, and that otherwise we could have no redress whatever. The Smaliest of Mothers.

ONLY THIRTY-TWO. INCHES IN HER MATRIMONIAL EXPERIENCE,

A WOMAN STATURE

(from the St. Louis Times. )

Mrs. W. H. Bristol, better known as Fannie Burdette, who has been travelling for years with Forepaugh’s circus, gave birth med. nesday night last, in the Commercial Hotel, to achild weighing eight pounds. The mother weighs about fifty pounds and is only thirty- two inches in stature. Her husband ts of. full size, being six feet in height and weighing 145 pounds. The infant was healthy and well de- veloped, but in order to preserve the life of the mother it was necessary to sacrifice it. ~ The pangs of maternity lasted seven hours, in- ning at 8 a.m. and ending at3p.am., nd aa the little woman not possessed an iron consti- tution she must have died. During the whole of these long hours of agony she maintained almost complete silence, ‘ittering only few moans, and struggling against all extraordi exhibitions of pain. f married two years, and this is their second child.) The first was innch smaller and was still-born, Mr, Bristol was formerly a door- keeper in the employ of Forepaugh’s circus, and in this capacity became acquainted with his wife, who was then travelling under the management of that show with a twin brother, who is an inch shorter than herself, They were called the Burdette twins, and always travelled. together until Mrs. Burdette’s con- finement last spring, when the brother con- tinued the engagement alone. They arein the twenty-first -year of their age. Mrs. Bristol was born in Montgomery county, Maryland, on a farm near the little village of Damascus, where her parents still dwell. She has a brother and a sister of the ordinary size, and her father is above six feet.
