* Colonel Croker, of Mansfield, Ohio, was} a lawyer aod merchant io thut place sonie twenty-five years singe. He was a tall, muscular map, noble and high minded in} di chis transactions ia life. He purchased his goodsin Pittsburg, and bid occasion to. repair tu that place at a certain time and; fork ovet and purchase more goods, Oa his ‘arrival+ at Pittsburg, he c:lled. his!

doe vib whom you can eatrust the keys of the prison.’

‘Very well,’ said the Sheriff, ‘ I will do 80.” | | Aecordingiy the man appeared with the key of the prison io his hand.

‘Well,’ said the Colonel, come, I suppose, to work for me while 1 remain in this solitary abode of justice.’

‘Yes, sir,’ was the reply.

ereditors together, und told them he would) aot be abie to pay them but fifty cents on

proposition, he was ready to. do it; if not, they might dispose of jim as they pleased. They would ‘not aecept of his offer, but bad him arrested and put him in prison. Oo arriving at the jail, he found three hearty looking men, who were confined for debt, sitting en their blocks or stools, in’ rather a despondiog attitude.

‘Well,’ said the colonel to the one near- est him, ‘ what are you here for?’

‘For debt, sir,’ replied the prisoner, _

‘How much is it?’ asked the colonel.

‘Three or four-dollirs,’ was the reply. |

much is it Mr Sheriff?’ -

‘ Four dollirs seventy-five’ |

‘Well,’ said the colonel ‘ here is the money, but don’t let me catch you here: agiin for'that amount.’ «

‘Phe eolonel addressed the next one :— ‘Well sir, what are you here for ?’

4 Bor debt, sir.’

‘How much: is it?’

‘ Pweoty-five dollars or more.’

Yes,’ said the Shenff, ‘ twenty-five dollars'and seventy-five,’

Well,’ said the colonel, ‘here is the money, aod now clear yourself, und let me not see you here again,’

The ¢ lone! put the same question to the third one, and paid twenty-live dollars for his iiberstion--—-———

‘Now,’ said the colonel, ‘get all the

washing, whitewashing, etc ; and, io the mezntime, purchase one wash-bowl stand, a two gallon jug of the best brandy in th city, loaf sugar, pitcher, tumblers, dee eapters, and all that is convenlent and comfortable for a gentleman to keep house

is cleaned,’ and the colonel furnished the occessary funds.

All these requisitions being eomplied with, his hired man’ was employed from diy to day in attending to visiting gentle- men, and also to seeing the colonel. furs

of life. Gentlemen avd ladies and credit- ors Came to visit the colodel;-the latter, were much surprised to see the expense igcurred in fitting up the room, furnishing it with such costly furniture:

‘ Well. said the colonel to his creditors, ‘I was raised to live decently and comfort- ably, and when you had me eonveyed to this horrible place of justice, I found it in filthy uncomfortable condition, and I was determined to make it more comfortable during my stay in this unholy abvde. And further,” said the colodel, ‘call on me to-morrow at 3. P. M., and dine with me on a fine roast turkey, and although my conveniences to entertaim gentlemen are not very good, a3 I am confined to this room aloue, L will endeavor to make you

‘ But,’ said the colonel, ‘ I have iseurr- ed some necessary expenses that must be deducted out of that fifty cents.’

‘What are they?’ asked one of his ered. |

‘One hundred and five dollars.and fifty ceots,’ said Col. Crocker, ‘ for the libers ation’ of three prisoners which I conceived to be an act. of charity aud humanity ; and then agiin, my expenses in fi.ting up the prison room—a duty | owed to myself ~

days imprisonment at $3 per day, will | amount in all to $131, ang I will pay the | balance after deducting this.’

‘Very weil,’ said his creditors,’ we will | do it. We don’t want to see you absent from your family for the paltry sum of' $1000, whea you say, honestly, you are unuble to pay the whoie.’

‘ Very well,’ said the colonel, ‘I have told -you what 1 would do, and I will do nothing e'se. Let us make out an esti- wate of the amount you are to have.’

All being done;~Colonel Crocker purs chased a lot of goods, and returned to his residence in Mansfield, Ohio.

Tue British Columbia Legislature meets

The London Daily Telegraph says : ‘* Ac- cording to the Paris Temps,a grave and decorous journal, very rarely indulging in the vagaries of anecdotage, in which such sprightly sheets as the Figaro and the Gau- lois take delight, a society has been formed in Paris for the purpose of enabling the members thereof to cut one another up. The gentlemen are not, as might be inferred from the premises, literary or artistic erit- Fics: They are only a body of physicians, Ps 3, anthropologists and savants, who have formed themselves into a Mutual Au- Ftopay Society, each member pledging him-

self to give up his remains after death to be }trator of the Government

dissected by his surviving friends.”

The glory of defeating Jones as a.mewher

raid they did not feel disposed to keep him « of the Government and Minister of Militia

will be considered by the Opposition as yast- ly greater than any that could be won by defeating him as.a mere Government sup- porter ; and nothing that will can be done to insure his rejection will be left undone. The contest already fierce, will wax fiercer and fiercer to the close. That. throngh which Mr. Laurier fought his: way to vic- tory n Quebec East awhile ago was regard- ed as an extremely hot and bitter one.. The sever.ty of the Halifax fight will be—is al- ready, indeed—far more intense. Under the c-rc.mstances, his election by a large m \jority, would be a great. triumph for Mr. Jones and the Government, and. his elec- tion by a-moderate majority will be quite

satisfactory. —St. John News—Ministerial.

Pricreat Grant, of Queen's College Kingston, lectured in that city a few days ago on the “Life and Times of Joseph

owe.” He rendered justice to’ the mern- ory and character of the famous Nova ‘Séo- tia statesman, rightly estimating his abili- ties and services, and not denying his frall- ties and mistakes. In his peroration de- scribing the sceties witnessed in Howe’s last days at Government House, Halifax; the passage following occurs :—‘‘ Many ld triends flocked ‘to see him; and the meet- ings were sometimes very touching. ‘A silent interview I cannot forget. An old follower, one wit had never failed him, came to pay his tribute of homage. His chief had reached a dlc rest and the height of his ambition. When the door was opened the Governor was at the other end of the room. He turned, and the two recognized each other. “Not a word was spoken. The rugged face of the liegemin was tremulous. He looked around. Yes, it was actually old Government House; and his chief was in possession. After all. the storms and Pewee it had actually come to this. The two men drew near, and as hand touched hand, the two heads bowed together, and, without a word, they kissed softly Sa eeasccie would. Are there many such little wells of poetry in the arid wilderness of political life ?”

Mr. Jones was sworn in at Halifax as Minister of Militia on Monday afternoon by General O'Grady Haly, acting as Adminis-

of the Governor-General Swan
