Sir Hugh allen offetwl a prize of $100 for best car load of fat cattle for shipment, a second of $50, and a third of $25. An- other firm of shippers has offered for beat five head $75, second, $25, third, $15. Another firm of catile shippers has offered a prize of $50 for the best pair. These prizes have create@ quite a flutter and resulted in starting cattle speculators throughout Canada on a search for the best. This week, Messrs. Benallack and Bayard appeared in Sackville and secured fourteen head to compete at Montreal next week, The cattle were shipped yesterday. They obtained them as follows :

A little pang of chagrin

I flang myself upon a seat, and en-

deavored to assume an air of iadifference,

though J was far from feeling indiffer- eat, and my eves as before kept eagerly seauning the fair maskers. New and then, the tournure of an ankle—I had seen Isoliua’s—or the elliptical step of @ fine figure, inspired me with fresh hope; but as the mascaritas who owned them were near eveugh to have seen, and yet took no notice of me, I conjectured— in fact, hoped—that none of them was she. Indeed,a well-turned ankle is no distinctive mark among the fair doncellas of Mexico.

At length, a pair of unusually neat oves, supporting a figure of such superb. Outlines, that even the ungraceful dom- ino couhi not conceal them, came under my eyes, and rivited my attention. My heart beat wildly as I gazed. I could not help the belief that that the lady in the yellow domino was Isolina de Vergas. She was waltzing with a young dragoon officer; and as they passed me,I rose from my seat, and approached the orbit of the dance,in order to keep them under my eyes. As they passed me a second time, I fancied the lady regarded me through her mask: I fancied I saw her start, I was almost sure it was Iso- lina !

My feeling was new that of jealousy The young officer was one of the elegant geutlemen of the service—a professed

: lady-killer—a fellow, who, notwithstaud- ing his well-known deficiency of brains, was ever welcome among women. She seemed to press closely to him as they whirled around, while her head rested

languishingly upen his shoulder. She

‘appeared to be contented with her partner. I could scarcely endure the agony of my | fancies.

a’ was a relief tome when the muric ceased, and the waltz ended. The circie broke up, and the waltzers scattered in

| | different directions, but my eyes followed

‘ouly the dragoon officer and his partner He conducted her to a seat, and then

placiag himself by her side, the two ap-

peared to engage in an earnest and inter- esting conversation,

With me politeness was out of the question. I had grown as jealous as a tiger; and I drew near enough to be+ come a listener. The lowaess of the tone in which they conversed precluded the possibility of hearing much of what was said, but I could make out that the spark was ** coaxing” his partner to re- move her mask. The voice that replied was surely Isolina’s | have torn the silken screen from her face, through very vexation; but I was saved that indiscretion, for the request of her cavalier seemed to prevail, and the next instant the mask was removed by the lady’s own hand. Shade of Erebus ! what did I see. She was black—a negress! Not black as ebony, but nearly so; with thick lips, high cheek-bones, and a row of short * kinky” curls dang. ling over the arch of her glistening fore- head !

My astonishment, though perhaps of a more agreeable kind, was not greater than that of the dragoon lieutenant, who by the way, was also a full-blooded ‘‘Sonthener.’ At sight of his partner's face he started, as if a six-pound shot had winded him; and after a few half- muttered excuses, he rose with an air of extreme gaucherie, and hurrying off, hid himself behind the crowd !

The ‘colored lady,” mortified—as I ;presume she must be—hastily readjusted her mask, and rising from her seat, glid- ed away from the scene of her humilia- tion. I gazed after her with a mingled feeling of curiosity and pity; I saw her pass out of the doer alone, evideutly with the intention of leaving the ball. I fancied she had departed, as her

The Vienna Duisester.

The late theatre fire at Vienna ranks among the most disastrous of which there is any record. As a matter of fact it atands preeminent’; as ‘the most fatal of the pre- sent century, and is only rivalled by the Saragossa and Pisino fires in 1772 and 1794 respectively. The destruction of one thou- sand lives in a single fire of a few minutes duration is something almest too horrible to contemplate. The following record of | the most disastrous theatre fires of modern | times is suggestive of the dangers to which theatre goers are exposed :

Enylish Immigration.

A London despatch to the Toronto Globe says: ‘‘ Every day the inquiries about Canada and the prespects of emi- grants to the older Provinces or to the North-West become more numerous. The Dominion is better known and its name is more frequently mentioned than ever be- fore. A large and very intelligent class of people, therefore, are greatly interested by the announcement which has been made that a public meeting will be held at Exter Hail to-morrow evening, at which the subject of emigration to Canada will be discussed. His Excellency the Governor General has accepted an invitation to pre- side, Among the spectators will be Sir Alexander Galt, Canada’s High Commis- sioner, whose recent visit to the North- West will no doubt form the subject for a most interesting address.

The Toronto World, an Op; position paper in Toronto, in an article on the progress of protectionist principles, in which reference is made to the results of one-sided free trade in England, thus refers to the posi- tion in Canada :—‘‘ The above being true of England, the cradle and abiding pace of free trade, the trecsu'e-hcuse of the savings of ages, it is equivalent to suicide for any political party to attempt to force one-sided free trade upou anew country situated as Canada is. Each succeeding year that the United States persist in their refusal to negotiate with us a reciprocity treaty will enhance the difficulties of those who make that attempt. Intelligent men of all par- ties adit this, and wonder at the obstinacy and stupidity which inspire the Globe to deliver the lader o its party, unarnyd, into the hancs of i's «ne ies. I: looks uke a conspiracy to make him fight at the same disadvantage that his predecessor in the leadership exverienced.

An interesting letter from Mr Domville appeared in the S/. John Sun, treating of the Winter Port question. It is written in a fine spirit, and is fitted todo goed. It contends that the winter terminus of Canada’s great National Transcontinental Railway ought to be on Canadian territory. It argues that gross injustice to Canada generally and the Maritim Provinces in particular wi | be done ifthe immense traffic created by that great highway, constructed at the cost of the coun- try, should be diverted in the winter to foreign parts. It refers to the grand results which would be realized in St. John, through the adoption of that harbor as a Pacific Rail- way Winter Port; and it calls for united action in behalf of the just claims of St. John aud Halifax from Maritime Province people to checkmate apparent tendencies on the part of the Pacific Railway Syndicate to divert Northwestern trade from St. John and Hali- fax to Portland and Boston.— News.
