‘Act men are liars,’ said David, ofold. He was probably prompted to make the above remark after trying some unreliable catarrh remedy. Had he been permitted to live until the present day, and tried Dr. Sage’s remedy, he might have had a better opinion of man- kind.

Mixisrer or Justice Thompson had a nar- row escape last Friday morning at Port Maual- grave. He was walking along the track be- low the platform, when a train backing down caught him between the car and the plat- form. Fortunately he was within a few feet of the end of the platform, and after being turned around once or twice was shoved along far enough to cleat himself. Had he been caught farther up the platform he must have been seriously jammed,—Jfoncton Times.

Manrropa wheat seems to de in demand. A Winnipeg despatch says the been competition among the grain buyers lately has run the price of wheat up to a good figure. While the farmers of Dakota are only getting 45 to 50

nts a bushel for their wheat, Manitoba farmers are receiving from 65 to 70 cents and consequently feel jubilant. And yet some (rit organs are telling the western farmers that they should vote against the Government lecause the price of wheat is lower than it was a few years ago.

A seLect avdience was present last evening to hear the lecture in St. James’ Hall. It was by far the most interesting of the course yet delivered. As the lecturer brought his hearers in turn to view the sacking cf St. Denis, and to witness the assassination of Marat, the excitement of the andience be- came intense, and could hardly be restrained, as he pictured the mournful procession which led Charlotte Corday, Louis X VL, Marie An- tionette and Madame Poland to the guillo- tine. Those thrilling incidents in the lives of nen and women who have made themselves famous by their actions and enthusiasm, and who have added some of the most exciting chapters to the history of every nation, re- ceive a truer meaning when described by so pleasing a speaker as Mr. Carruthers.

i. & G. Templars.

Own the evening of the 6th inst. a Lodge of Good Templars was organized in Savage Harbor by J. A. Lawson, G. C. Templar. The Lodge is to be known as Flower of the Forest, No. 36, and was instituted with a charter membership of 30, all of whom are determined to go forward with the great crowd for ultimate prohibition.

Many of these membcurs were pledged in old ‘*Flower of the Forest, No. 23,” which was organized in Februery, 1863, the writer

being one of the charter members. The old Lodge lived and exerted an influence for good for some 10 years. Again, some

of the fathers and mothers of to-day take up the work that in 1863 they commenced whea boys and girls. Now these parents say to their children (a majority of ti present membership being young people who have grown to manhood and woman- hood since then) *‘ come to the Lodge,” then the parents said ‘‘ ge.”” Ifthe fathers and mothers of the Island and the Domin- ion would do likewise, and say to their children with regard to total abstinence and prohibition, ‘“come,”’ we would not live long to see the day when prohibition would be the law of the land, and the lives and souls of some five or six thousand of the people of the Dominion who go down annually to fill drankards graves, saved to work for God and humanity.

To be Independent. |

The Toronto Mail oa the 8th inst. said: ‘In the contest now going on our utter- wnces are saddled upou the Conservative leaders, although our course for newly a year past has been wholly at variance, with their wishes. This, it need scarcely be | said, is unfair to them, and whilst Sir John | Macdouald and Mr. Meredith are held re- | sponsible for our views, despite the fact | that they have earnestly and iupatiently | protested against them, we on our part haye to shoulder the responsibility for words and acts of theirs, which we can neither justify nor exeuse. In a word, working partnership between us and the Conservative party has broken down and nothing remains for us but to accept the logieal development of our former depart- and make Muil an independent journal, serving neither party and criticizing both with afreedom born of complete deliver- ance from political ties. The future is pregnant with issues that cannot fail’ to weaken the existing party divisions, and our aim is to prepare the way for the birth of an independent organization that shall be British and Canadian and liberal in the highest and best seuse.”” It lays down the platform as follows : ‘Maintenance of the protective tariff suv long as our American

i} . +} . Lire the

re-construction of the Senate; reform of the civil service; development of the Northwest as rapidly as our finances will allow; reli- gious and social equality.’ It conclude as follows: ‘It will, no doubt, be said that our platforin is a good one for the future, but an inexpedient one for the present. If the reader will Jook about him, however, and take note of the symptoms of desinte- gration already apparent in our twenty year old country, we think he will agree with us that the policy of ex- pediency has not been so successful as to warrant us in continuing to ignore the principles of truth and justice. Nor will it do to say that what weaim at can be ac- complished through the instrumentality of one or the other of the two old _ parties. Each studies how best to shirk those press- ing Neither looks beyond the immediate exigencies of struggle for office. Both are open to be bribed by class votes. We on our part are persuaced not that it is our mission to save the country, but that our duty, and that of all intelligent Canadians, is to make for the higher ideal of government than that supplied by either of the factions, and to strike out for the right without further delay, since the time for righteousness is now.” Terrible Massacres.

Advices from Hong Kong by steamer City of Pekin, state that the trouble on the fron- tier of Tonguin and China has assumed most serious proportions. News has been received at Hong Kong from Pakhoi by the German steamer Signal, that large bodies of Chimese pirates attacked the French garrison at Hakoi on November 24th, and after three days siege completely annihilated the town. - They also attacked Mongkoi with a similar result. The latter is a town ten miles from the coast on the border line of China and TLenqguin...No particulars of the massacre which occurred at Mongkoi were given. Hakoi is about 30 miles south of Mongkoi on the coast... The French had a small fortification there with a garrison of 60 men under command of Lieut. McMahon, a nephew of Marshal McMahon. After three days siege only twenty-three of the garrison remained alive. These made a sortie, but not one of them survived. The latest information is to the effect that the cities of Hakoi and Mongkoi are in flames. It is believed that the same parties which captured the boundary commissioners perpe- trated these massacres.
