no keeper. The Government should appoint one. Captains of the cruisers, and Magis- trates as well, complain that if a drunken man or rioter is aivested there is no place to put him. Sending him to the County jail is often impracticable. In the interests of the people of Souris and of those’ who have t visit that town frequently on matters of business, it is hoped the Government will at once appoint a keeper for the lockup there.

Aug. 29, 1887. JUSTICE,

Collision.

Sir,—A somewhat laughable, though very dangerous collision took place on the park in Irish Montague about sunset on Friday the 26th inst.

Mr. Owen Hughes, the owner of the park, was out training his yellow filly, Maud 5., and, after several efforts, had got her above her best speed and down to about 2.494. The mare is on the homestretch and down grade, and certainly flying fast. Oh! what joyous excitement (for Hughes) ; she shows more and greater trotting power each stretch. She will certainly be far ahead of her class, and he can then dispose of her at a good honest profit, Well, such speed ; his sight grows dim. Instantly an unruly cow attempts to cross the track. The right wheel of the sulky comes in contact with the left shoul- der of the unlucky bovine. The sulky is over- turned with inconceivable quickness, Maud 8. is somewhat slowed down and so annoyed and surprised that before Mr. Hughes could free himself from the demolished vehicle she ad- ininisters to him a couple of kicks that won- derfully increases his sense of danger and im- prove his presence of mind. He drops the lines. The mare rushes madly on and shiver- ingly jumps herself into a corner. The sulky is badly broken and Mr. Hughes escapes un- hurt, save a few black marks and a feeling as if he was “* bate” all over.

Montacue. nc eR ae Be Kind to Your Horse.

Kindness with the family horse is of the utmost importance. Always cultivate an acquaintance, and be on social and friendly terms with him. If he is tired and worn out, it is astonishing, how these little at- tentions will encourage and cheer him up. When not in use, he should be givena reasonable amount of daily exercise. It promotes a good action of the limbs, and assists digestion. The harness should be made to fit, thus avoiding chafes and bruises. In cold weather the lips and

by contact with the frozen bit. The bit should always be warmed before being placed in the horse’s mouth. Flies are very annoying to a horse, and the use of the net, or some preparation that will keep flies away, is well repaid. Carein driving

is of the greatest importance. How often do we see an anima! driven until wet with

perspiration, and dotted with foam, stand- ing without the blanket or protection of any kind from the cold northern winds, When in such condition, he evidently suf- fers intensely ; besides the danger of con- tracting diseases, from which he will never recover. If any Jawon our statute book should be more rigidly enforced than an- other, it isthe one against fast driving. When in use, blankets should be provided in cold weather, so that they will dry with- out chilling. Protect them from drafts when warm, and either rub down, or let them stand in a stable, where cold air can- not strike them.—American Agricuturist for August.

In Brief, And to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good na- ture.

The human digestive apparatus is one of the most complicated and wonderful things in existence. It is easily put out of order.

Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular habits, and many other things which ought not to be, have made the American people a nation of dyspeptics.

But Green’s August Flower has done a wonderful work in reforming this sad business and making the American people so’ healthy that they can enjoy their meals and be happy.

Remember: No happiness without health. But Green's August Flower brings health and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your drug- gist for a bottle. Seventy-five cents.

Ix the last number of Grip--a paper with strong Grit leanings—Mr. Laurier, the new Liberal Leader, is the subject of a cartoon, which represents him in the hopeless task of fattening the Reform Party horse from 4 basket holding ‘‘No policy shavings.” The jaded animal is furnished with a huge pair of green spectacles—as illustrative of one of the many Grit deceptions. The following is Grip 3 comment: ‘The same old diet.—Mr. Laurier’s speech at Somerset is a severe blow to those who were looking for the inauguration of a spirited policy by the new Liberal leader. If anything, the programme as now announced is milder than Mr. Blake’s, for at least one reform boldly advocated by that gentleman— the reconstruction of the Senate—is dropped altogether. The Reform party has, ne doubt, a tough constitution, but it is a dangerous experiment for Mr. Laurier to adopt the plan of the old fellow who furnished his horse with blue spectacles and then fed him on shavings instead of hay. The diet upon which the party is now subsisting is about as nutritious as shavings, and it may be doubted whether it can be made palatable very long, even when

Viewed throngh the party glasees.”

4 lation to the seizures of last year,

tongue of the horse may be made very sore |

‘the Secretary of the Treasury of that day, Mr. Boutwell, repudiated the idea that the | United States could claim jurisdiction over so large asca, andthe matter was suim- marily ended. The correspondence in re- more- over, seemed to have satisfactorily termi- nated the matter, the last published des- patch from Secretary Bayard stating that the release of the British schooners had been ordered, and Mr. Bayard in a subse- quent statement declaring that the claim of the United States to exclusive jurisdiction Lcould not be maintained. A new phase is now sought apparently to be given the question by the seizure of two American schooners engaged in sealing in these waters, the pretext being that the United States is defending the interest of its ten- ant, the Alaska Commercial Company, against all comers. The New York Times points out that the right of the Government, so far as it exists, over the Behring sea, is founded on the language of the treaty of 1867,by which it received Alaska from Russia; that the treaty divides the sea between the two countries and was based on Russia’s pre- vious assumption of jurisdiction over the whole of it as a land locked domain. But Russia was compelled in 1824, to abandon her pretensions and to recognize formally the right of both United States and British citizens and subjects to enjoy the same privileges in Behring Sea, without the three-mile-limit, as were exercised by Rus- sian subjects, and whatever rights the Unit- ed States acquired by the purchase of Alaska were obtained subject to the pro- visions of the treaty between Great Britain and Russia. The 7'imes, than which there is no higher authority in the American press, admits that itisa matter of great question whether an international highway from the Pacific to the Arctic, whose shores are owned by opposite powers, can very long be heid as the individual property in any respect of these Powers against the rest of the world.

An Ottawa despatch says:—‘'Sir Freder- ick Middleton's active service in the Imperial] army terminates in about three months on account of age. This necessitates his retire- ment from the command of the Canadian militia, and aiso renders him ineligible for the rumored appointment as commandant of the Kingston Military College. General Laurie's name is mentioned here as a possible succes- sor in command of the militia, and it is also rumored that Colonel Cameron is likely to succeed Col. Oliver in Kingston.

Apvice to Moriuers.— Mrs. Winslow's soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It reiieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain; and the little cherub awakes ae “‘bright asa button.” It is very pleasant vo taste. It soothes the child, softens the 8, allays all

ain, regulates the bowels, and is the best Cooteh remedy for diarrhea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Twenty-five cents a bottle. Be sure and ask for Mrs. Winsloe’s Soothing Syrup, and take no cther ind marl7 eod & wky

A Soissons correspondent of the St. James Gazette wrote recently: About a fortnight ago, a young man was mesmerized in the presence of several persons. After the usual experiments the magnetizer said, “I forbid you to drink wine during the next fortnight.” The patient was then wakened up by the magnetizer blowing in his face, and though the magnetizer is not near him or in sight, it is affirmed that he cannot carry a glass of wine to his lips. If the glass is filled with anything else, his arm will obey, but if it contains wine his muscles are paralyzed.

Mr. F. M. Cotton, lately manager for the Bank of Montreal at Moncton, in a recent speech paid « tribute te the business industry, integrity and probity of Moncton's merchants and declared that they stood Al among the merchants of the Dominion. They deserved to succeed and would succeed. He ventured to say that great as had been the growth of Moncton, that in ten years from now, it would be double its present size. The Short Line railway and the establishment of a float- ing dock, would combine to make Moncton's prospects grand. When he came to Moncton nine years ago, it was not uncommon, at night, to see people going about with lanterns, and up to their necks in mud. We have now the electric light, gas, water and fairly good streets. Moncton only had one bank nine [youre ago and now it had three, aml they '

were al] doing so well that extra assistaace

and extra rom were required,
