Orrawa, April2.—In the Senate, Sir Mackenzie Bowell referred to the inter- views, published in the New York papers, with Mr." Borden, ia which the tariff policy of the Government was outlined. He considered the statemepts made to be in direct violation of of the duties of a respon- sible minister, and it was ap insult to Par- liament that Canadians had to get their first intimation as to the policy of the Government through foreign pap: rs.

THE SWEET SAD, YEARS.

The sweet,#ad years, the eun, the rain, Alas! too quickly did they wane.

For cach sume boon, some blessing bore, Of smiles and tears each had its store, ‘Its checkered lot of bliss and pain.

Altho’ it idle be and vain,

Yet cannot I the wish restrain That I had held them evermore ! The sweet, sad years !

Like echo of an old refrain

‘hat loog within the mind bas lain,

I keep repeating o’er and o’er

Nothing can e’er the past restore,

Nothing bring back the years again, The sweet, sad years.

An Illegal Act,

—--+

That one of the first acts of the presevt administration was illegal is shown by the Auditor-Genveral’s report. The Gevern- ment took cftice on Jaly 13th. Four days afterwards, on July 17ibh, it appointed Hon. Matthew Aylmer Adjutant-General, | the appointment to date frow January Ist, 1896. A cheque was issued in favour of Lieut. Col. Aylmer for $200, being the difference in pay of an acjutant-general

and assistant adjutant for six months. It is pot uausual to ante-date military appointments, bat not with 4 calaried officer. The Auditor General

reported that the proposed payment was an iNegal one. The Department replied that the fact that the expenditure was anthor- ized by order-in—-Council was sufficent answer to the objection, and that there was no reason for withholding the credit. Mr. McDougall, however, declined to sanction the payment until he had been assured it would not be made until the Treasury Board had approved. Lt. Col, Avimer, while as-istant, acted as Acjatent-General daring the time for which the cheque was drewn, and perhaps, iu fairness, Gugnt to be paid the difference between bis ralary asd.puty and chief. But the «effort io do this Ly an ulegal method is quite another matter.

Fast Atlantic Service,

The fast Atlantic service negotiations have assumed a new phase, and ihe scene of operations bas been shified from Ottawa to Great Britain, where the first arrange- meuts between Mr. Peterson's firm and the Government, represented bv Hon. Mr. Dobel], who has accompanied Mr. Peterson to Erg'and, and who, the Government organ at Ottawa, the Free Press, says “could be better »pared at the present time than any of the other Ministers.” The Oitawa Free Press says: ‘Hon. Mr. Dobell has left for the old country to carry out further arrangements for the fast line service between Canada and Great Britain. He is accompanied hy Mr. Peterson, the representative of the English company whose offer has been co favorably considered by the Canadian Government. Mr. Peterson is but one of a strong syn fi- cate of Englieh capitalists who have al- ready large shipping interests in Canada.

which they submitted, and there is” every reason to believe that it is jast what will be done, the company are prepared to lore no time in inauguratung the service cn lines which will be fully upto the re: quirements of the present day. The $560,000 subsidy which they have con—

ed by the Allans, will have to pass Parhia-

ment, and the details will then be fuily gone into.

THE OWL CAME BACK,

The Question He Asked the Man Who Thought He Was Dead.

“De biggest owl er do-senson,’’ said Un- cle Moses us he Lcid the saucer eyed bird to the gaze of the interested spectators, ‘““Hit’s de very one dat’s been a-killin er my chickens ever sence de war, but he won't kill no mo’, I bet you! I ketched him in de very ac’—des a-makin fer my big rooster—en I rolled him over en puta end ter him with dis lightard knot!”’

It was certainly a monster owl, measur- ing fully 4 feet from tip to tip, and Uncle Moses’ black neighbors felt that they had at last triumphed over a mutual enemy.

‘*‘] gwine ter take him home,’’ explained Uncle Moses, ‘‘en skin him en stuff him en put him on de mantelpiece fer good en all—dat’s what I gwine do wid him! Oh, yes,’’ he said, addressing the slain victim as he let it fall at his féet, ‘‘you’s had yo’ “day wid my chickens, you has' You likes chicken meat, don’t you? H:t’s mighty tender, ain’t it? Couse it is! But you ain’t gwine ter git no mo’ of it—dat you ain’t!”’

And, so saying, Uncle Moses bore the bird in trinmph to his cabin. ‘‘I’ll des ley you down heah by de foot er de bed,’’ he said, still addressing the owl, ‘‘tell after supper, en den I'll skin you alive.”’

He went out and attended to various duties about the farm, and it was late when he returned,

“‘T reckon,’’ he said, ‘‘I’ll leave de skin- nin en stuffin er datowl tell mawnin, kuse I’m all tired out.”’

Then he dispatched his supper and re- tired for the night.

He never knew what time it was, and, &mleed, he never stopped to inquire, but certain it was that he was ¢uddenly and rudely arouscd from his dreams by the loud hooting of an owl, so close to him that it almost deafened him.

He sat bolt upright in the bed. ‘‘ Who— who—is you-o-o?’’ rang through the room again. He stared about him, when, hb, perched on the foot of the bed was the owl he had left for dead.

‘“‘Who—who—is you-0-0?’? came once more from the throat of the terrible bird.

There was no doubt about it. It was impossible that eyes and ears could deceive him. There was the bird flu-h with life, the wide eyes glaring at him like globes of fire. He sprang from the bed, shrieking: “QO Lawd, have mussy! Help me ter git out er heah, good Lawd! Q Master, help me ter sce daylight once mo’—des one mo’ time!’’

A few neighbors who were up late saw a white robed figure specding through the night, and terrified sought their cabins, crying, ‘‘Oh, Lawd, judgment come, en de dead raise up!’’

Uncle Moses never return«d to his dozmi- cile. ‘‘De debbil wuz in dat owl!’’ he said afterward, ‘‘and I des give him a deed ter de whole place. ’’—Chicago Tin es-Herald.
