Usper the present existing health laws of the United States, all persons belonging to the Provinces and who have not been residents of the United States, are now obliged to be vaccinated by the Government health officer upon landing on American territory. As everybody knows, there ix nu sign of small p°x, oF any other contagious disease, in our

hborhood, and we learu from the best authority that the management of the ‘‘Inter- natianal 8.8. Co.” have now made arrange- ments with the health department, whereby all passengers from this section will be allowed to pass into the States, by this line, without the steanier being detained or passen- gers vaccinated.

A Brave Lap.—Among the passengers on the Quebec express, Friday, says the St. John Globe, at the time of the accident, was a lad of eighteen or nineteen years. When the cars Went off the track and the flames were shoot- ig up from the upturned stove in the first-

cat, he did not make for the door like other men in the car, but, regardless of the

moke and fiame, he leaped over the ove, seized the prostrete form of tho injured babe, and passed it through the smoke to a gentleman who or-

Hed ittoa place of safety. He next turn- ed his attention to the woman, on whom the ttove had fallen. By an almost superhuman effort he removed the stove from the insen- ule woman, and then grasping her around the waste, he half dragged, half carried her to the “pen ir. It was the deed of a brave iad, and it is a pity that his mame is not known, so that he might secure the reward he % richly deserves,

NOW TRYING To GET OUT oF LUDLOW STREET

JAIL — THE REMARKABLE CAREER. (F A PRISONER WHO WILL ATTEMPT TO SECURE HIs FREE D@NM TO DAY.

(New York Morning Journal, October 5th) ; A motion will be made today in the Supreme Court, by Counsellor J, C. Me- Eachen, looking to the liberation of A. R McD nald, a stanch friend of the Union cause during the troublous times of the Rebellion, and a confidential emissary of Abraham Lincoln, who has been e ntined in Ludlow Street jail for the past vight years on a civil action for an alleged debt growing out of his effort to prevent the Wholesale destruction of cotton by the Southerners during the war. After the failure of ex-Congressman Casey, of Ken- tucky, to effect a stipulation with the Southern commanders at Sheveport, La.

by which the destruction of cotton should cease, Mr. McDonald volunteered his ser- vices,

Mr. McDonald at that time had amassed & fortune of over a milion dollars as a suc- cessful operator in the products of the border states, and the fact of his being a British subject with a strong attachment for the Union commended itself to Mr. Lincoln «8 bkely to render his efforts the more suc- cessful,

Up to this time millions of dollars’ worth of cotton had been burned, with incaleu- able loss to the country, and it was Mr. Lincoln's pet project to effect an agreement which would end this useless and wholesale loss. Being introduced to the President hy General Halstead, Mr. McDonald in- formed Mr. Lincoln that he knew of but one way to effect the desired result, and that was the President’s personal pledge to the Southern military commanders that the saved cotton should not be confiscated in any event.

The result of the conference was that Mr. McDonald undertook the commission, and early in 1864 left Washington as the agent of the Government with President Lincoln's authorization to enter into an agreement with the Confederate authori- ties of the trans-Mississippi Department. Well supplied with funds end armed with the President’s safe-conduct, he proceeded with little difficulty to Shreveport, and was there arrested by the Confederates in mis- take for another person whose description he answered,

He sveceeded in converting Colonel Wm. A. Broadwell, chief of the Cotton Bureau of the Confederacy, to his views, and in order to disguise from the fanatical element the objects of his mission, and asa necessary auxiliary to the accomplishment of his pur- pose, he purchased on his own account cot ton to the extent of over a million dollars.

In one day lists of Confederate cotton were transferred to Mr. MeDonald in trust to the extent of 73,000 bales, worth in the New York market forty million dollars, on the respective terms of non-incendiarism and non-confiscation. By this arrangement he brought the burning of cotton by the Confederates to a close,

Mr. McDonald kept Mr, Lincoln con- stantly advised of his movements, and for the success of his mission received the thanks of the President, who also instructed Mr. McDonald, in erder to indicate the non-contraband character of the cotton he had purchased on his own socount, to sur- mount it with the British flag, which was his right as a British subject.

He returned to Washington and received the persona! thanks of the President for the successful issue of his mission. The un- wise legislation of 1864, however, which declared that all future purchases of cotton should be made by the United S‘ates, again put the torch in the hands of the incendi- aries, and téWards the close of 1864 Mr, McDonald again proceeded south, aud was at Gaine’s Landing on the Mississippi when word reached him that Magruder had or- dered a wholesale destruction of cotton within his district,

Mr. McDonald saw that no time was to be lost, and made a forward ride of 250 miles from the Landing to Shreveport, and was in time to see Colonel Broadwell an1 have the order revoked.

In January, 1865, a dotachment of United States troops, under General Osband, made a raid through the section in which McDonald’s cotton was stored, and seeing the large pilea of bales surmounted by the British flag, and being ignorant of the circumstances, the cotton was burned.

After the Treaty of Washington had been effected in 1871 the British Government notified Mr. MeDonald to submit proofs of his claim for losses by the destruction of his cotton, and an award was made to the Brit- ish Government of $197,190 for the loss sustained by Mr. McDonald. An injunc- tion was obtained in the Supreme Conrt of the District of Columbia forbidding him to receive what his Government held out to him. On an appeal the Court decided that it had no jurisdicti.n in the case and ordered that the money be paid to Mc Donald.

His enemies did not relax their efforts, but subsequently secured a reversal of the Court’s decision, and an order that Me- Donald should return the money to the registry of the court. McDonald, however, was never notified of this order, and aft- davits having been furnished the Court that the order had been left at his residence, he was declared in contempt and a decree was entered against him. He was arrested in 1877 by order of a Judge of the City Court and taken to Ludlow Street Jail, where he has been detained ever since.

[Counsellor J. C. McKachen, above re- ferred to, is son of John McEachen, Eeq. Dry Goods Merchant, Queen Street, and Mr. A. R. McDonald is an Islander, and brother of Mr. W. ©. McDonald, eelebrated T'obacco- nist of Montreal. }

GRAND i Coionlal Exhibition in Londoa, Eug., LS86. FIFTY-FOUR THOUSAND FERT RESERVED FOR CANADA.

FIRST ROYAL EXHIBITION COM- MISSION SINCE Isé62.

THE COLONIAL AND INDIAN EXHIBITION

to be held in LONDON, England, commenc- ing MAY Ist, 1886, is intended to be cn a scale of great magnitude, having for object to mark an epoch in the relations of all the parts of the British Empire with each other. In order to give becoming significance to the event, a Royal Commission is issued for the hold- ing of this Exhibition for the first time since 1862 ; and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has been appointed President by Her Majesty. The very large space of 54,000 square feet has been alloted to the Dominion of Canada by com- mand of the President, His Royal Highness. This Exhibition is to be purely Colonial and Indian, and no competition from the United Kingdom or from foreign nations will be per- mitted, the object being to exhibit to the world at large what the Colonies can do. The grandest opportunity ever offered to Can- ada is thus afforded to shew the distinguished place she oecupies, by the progress she has made in Agriculture, in Horticulture, in the Industrial and Fine Arts,in the Manufacturing Industries, in the Newest Improvements in Manufacturing Machinery, and Iniplements, in Public Works by Models and Designs; also in an adequate display of her vast resources in the Fisheries, and in Forest and Mineral wealth, and also in Shipping. All Canadians of all parties and classes ure in- vited to come forward and vie with each other in endeavoring on this great occasion to put Canada inher true place as the premier colony of the British Empire, and to establish her proper posi- tion before the world. Every farmer, every producer, and every manu- facturer, has interest in assisting, it having been already demonstrated that extension of trade aiways follows such efforts.
