EXCELLENT PASTURAGE, having a_ good
Nova Scotia and Secession.
An Ottawa correspondent writes:—‘“‘One result of the talk in Nova Scotia about secession is that the Dominion Government is postponing the, construction of the .rail- way link between Fredericton and Moncton, N. B., or in other words, the link in New Brunswick which was to con-
w ,mect the ‘shore line’ from Montreal to the eysea with the Intercolonial railway system. moiPhe exact situation is this:
The ‘short line’ from Montreal after reaching Fredericton will go to St. John, and there- fore St. John, unless the Short Line is tapped somewhere en route, will be the chief ocean terminus of the western railway trafiic of Canada. If, however, a connect- i line is built between Fredericton on
{the ‘short line’ and Moncton, Halifax will
be able to compete on even terms with St. John, for traftic reaching Fredericton might as well go to Halifax via Moncton and the Intercolonial as turn off to St. John. While St. John would be nearer as far as the rail part of the journey would be concerned, Halifax would be a more advantageous. jumping -off place for transatlatic freight and passen- gers. Halifax, therefore, has a most vital interest ‘in the construction of the link from Fredericton to.Moncton, although the whole link would be in New Brunswick territory; but the Dominion Government is shrewdly telling’ Halifax that as Nova Scotia proposes to secede, Canada does not propose to send her ocean trade, or any part of it through Halifax. When, therefore, the resolution passed _by the Nova Scotia Legislature to ask the people of Nova Scotia to declare at the polls whether or not they wish te remain in con- f-deration, comes to a vote in Halifax, the people of Halifax will have at least one very excellent reason to vote in favor of staying in. Of course. when the ‘‘short line” is built, Halifax will get no western traflic from the Intercolonial, and unless by the link between Fredericton to Moncton, she cannot tap the ‘‘short line.”
As for the rest of Nova Scotia, it is doubtless clear to its people that in the event of the secession, they will have to repay to Canada the Dominion expenditure on capital account within that Province since Confederation; that is, the expendi- ture on railways, docks, public works and buildings, ete. This debt of Nova Scotia by the Dominion amounts to somewhere between ten millions and fifteen millions of dollars.

Products of the Fisheries.
The total value of the fish produced dur- ing the past year is given in the annual) re- port of the Fisheries Department at $17,- 722,973, being some $40,000 less than for the previous year. The value by provinces
is as follows :—

The varieties of fish which were caught, to the value of over a million dollars, are as follows :—

Then follows in order haddock, trout, sardines, smelt, pollock, whitefish, hake, alewives, etc. The decline in the product of the Dominion, as compared with last year, fell on Nova Scotia and British Columbia. In New Brunswick there is a large increase in the value of the output.
Nearly half the value of the Nova Scotia catch is in codfish, viz., $3,427,511. Next come mackerel, lobsters and herring, each worth in the vicinity of a million dollars,
In New Brunswick lobsters come first, being worth $880,000. Herring in barrels are valued at $438,868; smoked herring, $328,383 ; frozen herring, $94,000. Sar- dines, which perhaps should be classed by varieties, were placed at $335,160 ; codfish, $354,016; smelts, $329,871; salmon, $275,000.
In Quebec cod takes the first place and then herring and lobsters. More than forty per cent. of the Prince Edward Island yield is lobsters, more than twenty per cent, mackerel, and about fifteen per cent. her- ring. The catch in British Columbia is principally salmon. That of Ontario is trout, herring and white fish.
It is stated that the number of men en- gaged in fishing in Canada is 59,493, of whom 29,905 are Nova Scotians, and 10,185 from New Brunswick. The total number of fishing vessels is 1,177, of which 196 hail from New Brunswick, 711 from Nova Scotia and 53 from Prince Edward Island,

Shortly after noon, yesterday, people on the St. Helena wharf; Portland, and vicinity witnessed a airange sight. The air was mild and oppressively warm, and ‘not a.sign of wind cr threatening weather was visible when suddenly the water at the foot of the wharf. grew dark, and for air- cuit of about fifteen feet rosemearly six feet high, stayed in that state whirling and boil- ing for a few minutes and then ‘subsided. Theavharf, itself.-which is- used for spar- making, is covered at the end with chips and sinall blocks, and at the same time that the water was disturbed, the chips and pieces of wood were caught in the embrace of a whirlwind and carried up in the air a distance of between 150 and 2006 feet, and in the descent some of them were thrown over the slip and upon the Long wharf. The strange phenomenon flasted about three minutes, and the roar of the wind which accompanied it could be heard for several hundred yards. One peculiar ieature about it was that it was confined with-
aay
in a circuit of not more than 50 feet, and

Legislative Reform Wanted.
The inadaptability of the legislative system of the United States Congress to efficiently discharge the affairs of so great a country is becoming more evident almost every year. There is practically no control over the houses, the chances of any given measure, however important it may be, successfully passing being extremely proble- matical, especially towards the end of the session. Even the appropriation bills, to provide for the ordinary service of the state, are endangered sometimes and almost invariably have obnoxious clauses tacked to them which have to be accepted in other that the main measure may not fall. How this is managed is thus described by the Chicago Herald: ‘‘No subsidy measuré originates in the House of Representatives. Why ? Because it is almost certain, to be defeated at the outset. It must begin in the Senate. The House passes an appro- priation bill which goes to the other ‘chamber, and on this the Senate, in obedi- ence to the wishes of the lebby, tacks as an amendment the subsidy clause. It must then go back to the House for concurrence or non-concurrence. But if the House is known to be hostile to subsidies, why go to the trouble of having the Senate attach on a House bill which must certainly be non- concurred in/ Because after nou-concur- rence comes a joint committee of conference which may be manipulated. If it caunot be, then there is a chance that, as the session neai’s an end and the possibility of a failure of an appropriation bill begins to loom up, the House may be forced to ac- cept the Senate subsidy in notified form as an evil that is preferable to an extra session. In this arrangement the elements of trick- ery, persuasion, fear and compulson enter, and the lobby works it to perfection. It is only through the shameless profligacy of the United States Senate that it is enabled to do it, however. That body is the efficient instrument of the lobby im coercing the representatives of the people.”

Married on Horseback.
AN ELOPING COUPLE RIDE IN HOT HASTE THIRTY MILES FOR A MINISTEK. The quiet little village of Henryville, Clark county, Ind., was aroused one night last week from its usual sleepy condition by a romantic elopement, with many un- usually exciting surroundings. While the Rev. Seymour Guernsey was holding serv- ice in the little church at half-past seven p- m., the congregation was startled by a cry from the docr, ‘‘Hello, the church.” One of the wardens went to the church door and soon returned, making the announce- ment that ‘‘a couple at the door wanted to
get. married in a_ powerful hurry.” Rey. Mr.. Guernsey went two the door and found there a lady and gentleman mounted on horses fleck- ed with foam and blowing — as
if from a long, hard gallop. They gave their names as Martin Mall and Sara Pix- ley. They exhibited a Washington county license, and asked that the minister marry them in haste, After some deliberation the Rey. Mr. Guernsey concluded to perform the ceremony. So, with the congregation of the church gathered around, the young couple joined hands without dismounting, and were made man and wife. The young groom breathed easier after the knot had been tied, and exclaimed that the ‘old gentleman,” meaning Mr. Pixley, was not tar behind, and that he had a race of thirty miles in order to get his bride. Mr, and Mrs. Mall, without further. delay. or. pre- paration, turned their horses’ heads and started on the thirty mile return trip ty their home in Washington county,
PR lo NS A Native Estimate.
Writing under the nom de plume of ** A Native Thinker,” Sir Madhava Rao thus speaks of Lord Duflerin :-—‘* Many facts and circumstances go’ to show that this nobleman eminently possesses the following qualities :—-Wisdom and experience, great business capacity, quick comprehension, sound and ready judgment, great firmness, suavity of manner, abundance of resources in times of emergency, ready perception and appreciation of merit,-a strong desire to do good to the utmost extent possible, great prudence and cautim, fearlessness of responsibility, and indifference to popular displeasure when he is conscious of being right. He evidently possesses many accom- plishments, and also an inexhaustible stock of words and phrases which are pleasant or conciliatory, but do not inconveniently com- mit him to anything definite. He bids fair to be a first-class Vices of India. May he be long spared !”

Family Worship.
There is a man residing in Glencoe who is very particular about the daily observance of family worship. His wife is a thoroughly good woman, but her religion is of a practi- cal nature. She thinks there is a time for everything—family worship included—but that time, to her way of thinking, is not when a savory breakfast is allready to be placed on the table. One morning this week, when her husband's prayer’ was longer drawn out than usual, a suspicious smell of over-done biscuit was wafted slowly but surely toward her olfactory organ. She wriggled and twisted and thought of her biscuits, and at last when the husband started off afresh on a new tack, to which there seemed no end, she startled the good man by saying: *‘ Lord, John, cut it short, I’ve bread in the oven.” neetiilincatinidliiiiaasicdiians Scott's Emulsion of Pure
