N@TES AND COMMENTS

—

—The Kilkenny Journal describes Can- ada as “a little worse than Connaught and a little better than hell.”

-—The Mail and Empire points ont that Mr. Fielding bas made two taritls in about one month, thereby beating al] previous records.

—Great interest is now being taken in

airying al] through the Northwest Terri-

series, and farmers everywhere are im-

roving and increasing their herds of ewule, beth for dairying and the produc- tion of beef, and there is a great demand for young bulla of dairy breeds,

— Five small boys ranging in age from nine to fourteen years sentenced to fine and imprisonment fer larceny. This is the police court record for to-day. The need of a reformatory or school of correction where youthful offenders such as these may be sent is becoming more nd more manifest each day.

—It is pointed out by the Nation that “ greater New York,” the colossal muni- cipality which will be organized next winter, will have a larger population than the United States had when the nation was formed, and a budget of $75,000,000. The emoluments attached tothe chief appointments will amount to «nearly $220,000.

—In opp-stion, as an exchange points eut, the Liberals ridiculed the Conserva- tive policy of developing trade with Aus- tralia and other parts of the empire, claiming that al] this country needed was commercial union or unrestricted recipro- city with the United States. The Liberals have been in power less than a year and already Hon, A. G. Jones, of Halifax, has been appointed on a trade mission to Southern Europe, while Mr. Sheppard, a Toronto newspaper man who rendered the party some service, has been sent to South and tral America, and now it is an- nounced, in a Toronto despatch, that “Mr. Geo. Anderson, Manager of the Royal Oil Co., bas been selected by the government to pay a visit to Japan for the purpose of ascertaining what prospect there is for enlarging the market for Canadian pro- ductsin thatkingdom.” From the United States to Japan for trade isa big jump, even for the political acrobats now in power,

—The Toronto correspondent of the New York Postsays: The commercial aspirations of the Liberal party are towards trade with the United States. Whatever outward form Mr. Laurier’s policy ‘might assume, the steady purpose that ran through it wasto obtain reciprocity with the country beyond the soutbero boundary line. The conservatives had tried repeat- edly and in vain to do this, and Mr. Taurier wanted the distinction of making that policy a success. Throughont this

course since it came into power, his government has done nothing to prejudice the chances

of reciprocity. Its adoption of the double-column tariff looks like a right about-face, but it was not. It was a trick to captivate British sentiment and to give popularity tothe new tariff. I[t waa the aim of the government to make its fiscal scheme superficial erough te afford staad- ing-ground for all interests, and, of course more for the great body of British affection than for any other. But the profound policy of the scheme is not to be studied on its surface. Itecnams the germ of the whole of the free trade, and the more it reaiizes that, the more it would make room in the Canadian market for Ameri- can products.

—Commenting on the report from the Argentine cepublic, that British Govern- ment agents are negotiating for the pur- chase of a large number of horses, because these animals are superior for army pur- poses to any that can be had in the United States the Hamilton Spectator remarks: There® isa lesson inthis for Canadian farmers. British army agents have come te this country ia search of horses for

tilitary purposes, and although they were

repared to pay good prices they were nable to secure any great number of aitable horses. The reason ia that the anadian farmer does not breed the right ort of horses. He pays entirely too mueh attention to thetrotting breed. Ue is prone to secure the services of Abdallah Jupiter Thunderbo!t, a stallion whose one good point consists] in the tact that his grand dam once trotted a mile in 2.22}, and the result of mixing this trot- ting blood with the coarse mares of the country is a nondescript little rat seldom good for anything more than the drawing ot alight sulky, Sometimes he is equal to the task of drawing that villainous coa-

fair ate of epee’; but he is good tor nothit

ing plve. The country ie full of these rate,'‘and there is neither work nor money in them. Attempts have been mad, by importing suitable hackn: y and thorough bred stallions, to induce the Canadian farmer to go in for something inthe horse line which will bripg the British army agents frequently to this country, and but good money into the pockets of the peopl-; but the average farmer seldom takee ad vantage Of these opportunities, and the importers cf good stallions have been dis- couraged. ee PASSED THE CENTURY MARK.

Accordingtothe Truro News James Ros- of East St Martin,s N B is 107 years of age. He was born in the County of [nver- ness Scotland, and was 25 years old when “ Waterloo was fought and won.‘ In the early seventies he immigrated to Picton N $8 aod later came toSt Martins, where he hav ever since resided.

This aged Scotchman, though nearly five score years and ten, is yet strong and free from aches and pains, rheumatic twinges are unknown te him. He goes out daily and last summer mowed a field of grass near his heme.

Strange, this man who has lived a cent- taryand wore, bas never seen a railway train! He has used tobaccosince boyhood, and today, the pipe is his greatest luxury.

WOULD BE NO UNITED STATES.

The British Schools and Universities Club celebrated the (Queens birthday in New York a few nights ago. Rev. Dr. D. Parker Morgan, prsideat of the club, spoke of the good traits aud kindness of heart of the Queen. He referrec to the fact that at the time of the announcements of the deaths of President Garfield and General Grant the Queen was one of the first to sendmessages of sympathy. ‘‘She has.always had her hand ‘on tha helm of Sate,” said Dr. Mergan. ‘‘Had she been on the throne a little over a century ago the separation would never have occurrcd between the Amerrcan colonies and England. She wonld have prevented words from being uttered which created the bitter feeling that could not be allayed and the difficulties which could not be bridged over.”

The cattle snspectora report of the live stock shippings from Montreal, show that the total number shipped ia 1896 was 96,448, against 94,972 in 1&95, and 86,635 in 1894. The number reported lost was 400. The number of horses shipped was 10,421. against 13.303 in 1895, and 5,623 in 1894. The total number of sheep for the season of 1896 was 76,520, as against 210,600 in 1895.

Advices from Cuba have been received by the Jocal juntain Philadelphia to the effect that General Gomez will temporarily resign ‘a8 commander of the insurgent forces and come to this country as secre- tary of war pro tem of the Cuban republic to confer with President McKinley on the situation. Dnring his’ absence General Garcea will command.

Wm. Edwards was assassinated at his home near Trilby, Fla., Tuesday night. He and his two children were eating sup- per when parties concealed in the woods tired throngh a window, killing Edwards instantly. He was a one armed, ¢x-federal soldier’ This is the seventh man killed in Whitehurst-Whidden-Steyenson fend. Bud Stevenson was aseassipated in his tield' two months ago. It was thought Edwards uid it, and he was marked by friends of Stevenson.

The total number of wrecks and casual- ties during last year of British and Cana- dian sea going vessels reported to the de- parted was 273, with a loss of $1,236,76). The number of lives reported lost wss 43. The registered merchant shipping on December 31, 1896 was 7,279 vessels, measuring 788,299 tons register tonage being an increase of 17 vessels, and a d+ crease of 36,537 tons "as compared witn 1895. Assuming the average value to be $30 per ton, the value of the register ton- age of Canada would be $23,678,000. Dur- ing the year 227 new vessels were buik and registered, of a value of $726,000, estimating the tonnage at $45 per ton.

ELECTRICAL PROBE A SUCCESS.

The first successful test of the electrical probe was made at New York last week in Bellevue Hospital to extract a bullet from the lead of Henry Sarstet, thisty-nine years old, He sent it through his right temple the previous: day, at his home, with svicidal intent. A twemty two calibre bullet is srmall, and the groove is made very narrow and soon closed up, Professor Stewart, visiting sargeon of the third medical staff, attacked some fine wires to a cry battery and sent the charged probe through the man’s head until it reached the bullet. Just at the instant the probe and bullet came in centact with each other a small electric bell wens :off. This told the professor the builet had been reached, and’ im another few minutes the missle was removed... Sarstet, the doctors think, has an even chance of recovery.
