where I found now and then a person able to give m3 some accoun’ of the summor oniwinter life of the pecple. To begin with external and material things, te average home of Labrador generally c n- sists of a rough board dwelling, with two roems and a garret, a sma!l dock and siore- house for receiving, cleaning, curing and storing fish, and two or three open fishing boats. Ail these buildings perch like anxious water-fowls on the bare rocks ; shey never impress me as homes, for they make for themselees no niche or place in ‘the surface of the earth ; you expect them to be washed or blown away at the next gale—as they sometimesare. For the sake of beimg near the fishing-grounis these shelters are generally established on some |outlying island offering a mooring or else a |beach for the boats ; they seem to be ban- ished from the earth as far as possible sea- ward. They stand up gaunt, stark naked in the gales, in the midst of a desart of sea and rocks.

In the best places there may be ina hollew a little sand, enriched with decaying fish, where a few turnips and cabbages jmanage to show themselves during a brief jseasou. You get a gleam of hope and of

manager of the

Largest Hotel Enterprises

of America, says that while a passenger from New York on board a ship going around Cape Horn, in the early days of emigration to Cal- ifornia, he learned that one of the officers of the vessel had cured himself, during the voy- age, of an obstinate disease by the use of

, e

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.

o Since then Mr. LeLaNp has recommended AYER’Ss SARSAPARILLA in many similar cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail- ure to effect a radical cure.

Some years ago one of Mr. .rLAND’S farm laborers bruised his leg. Owfng to the bad state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor- rible itching of the skin, with burning and darting pains through the lump, made life almost intolerable. The leg became eunor- mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed, discharging great quantities of extremely offensive matter. No treatment was of any avail until the man, by Mr. LELAND’s direc- tion, was supplied with AvyER’s SARSAPA- RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation, healed the sores, removed the swelling, and completely restored the limb to use.

Mr. LELAND has personally used

Ayer's Sarsaparilla

for Rheumatism, with entire success ; and, after careful observation, declares that, in his belief, there is no medicine in the world equal to it for the eure of Liver Disorders, Gout, the effects of high living, Salt Rheum, Sores, Eruptions, and all the various forms of blood diseases.

We have Mr. LELAND’S permission to invite all who nay desire further evidence in regard to the extraordinary curative powers of AYER’S SARSAPARILLA to see him person- ally either at his mammoth Ocean Hotei, Long Branch, or at the popular Leland Hotel, Broadway, 27th and 28th Streets, New York.

Mr. LELAND’sS extensive knowledge of the good done by this unequalled eradicator of blood poisons enables him to give inquirers much valuable information.

(ostensibly) to ‘‘ arrange’ such a treaty *‘without delay,” just as if it were in the power of any one country to force a reci- procity treaty on another. If the men who passed that resolution were not fools, they ‘must have been knaves. If their resolution were not a piece of foolish bunkum it would be as much a vote of censure on the late Government of Canada as on the pres- eat, for certainly they both alike ‘‘ neglect- ed” to force a reciprocity treaty down the throat of the United States. And the probability is that all future governments in this country will be open to the same terrible indictment.

It is conspicuously inconsistent with it- self. After ‘‘censuring’” the Government for ‘‘neglecting or refusing” to take any steps to secure # reciprocity treaty with our neighbors, it in the very same sentence de- clares them ‘‘censurable in the highest de- gree” for taking such a step. Asis well known to every person of any intelligence in Canada, the liberty accorded the Am- erican fishermen of, concluding this season's fishing in our watérs, was conceded at the specific request of the Government of the United States, under a distinct pledge that if that was done that government would use its best endeavors to have negotia'ions re- newed for the arrangement of reciprocal traie between the two countries. If the Government of Canada had refused that re- quest they might have been open to the censure contained in the fizst sentence of the above quoted resolution. But they did not refvse it. It was the first intima- ion that the Governmeat of the United States had ever given of their w:l ingness, op any terms, to renew such negotiations, end it was very wisely accepted by the Government of Canada. For a Grit con- vention in Toronto to condemn the Do- ininion Government for taking that step to secure reciprocity, was a piece of unalloyed impudence, and will be so regarded throughout the lower provinces. There is not a constituency interested in fishing in the lower provinces, but could be triumph- antiy appealed to by the Government to support them in that action. Whether we secure reciprocity or not asthe result of it, there can be no doubt in the mind of any candid man, that it would have been most unwise in the Government of Canada to have refused to accept Secretary Bayard’s offer.

If environment moulds a people, then the Labradoreans should have strong traits. The climate, the unique features of the country. the undisputed supremacy of the zea, the isolation from the world—all their circumstances, indeed—are s0 strongly marked as to be irresistible. The popula- tion of the Canadian part of the coast— down to the boundary line at Blane Sablon —is of French origin, Canadians and Aca- dian ; the Newfonndland part of Labrador —the Strait of Belle Isle and the Atlantic

mer Ped

coast—is inhabited by English-speaking people. Moravians and Esquimaux are

found in the far North. The French Can- adians consist of two classes; a part of them come here every spring to fish for the merchants, and return every fall to their jfamilies and small homesteads between

| keeping the frozen fish for dog meat. The ‘interior of these homes is not quite so dis- \tressing as their surroundings, for the ‘human hand in-doors can make its mark, which is not always a clean one. The furniture, diet, constumes, are rough and |common-place; but the people are courteous avd kind, and they observe well their religious rites. Their isolation is such that they keep the run of time by marking the days of the week on the door-post. An ‘exception to this dreariness is to be met here and there, at a lighthouse or at the home of a merchant. I asked an intelligent fisherman how he could content himself in such a place.

**Well, sir, lL expect we're fools to stay here. ‘The worst of itis, our children are growing up «s ignorant as we are—just like the duge. Hardly any of us can read or write. Our houses are too far apart to get the children together for school, excepting at Esquimaux Point, Natashquam, and Mutton Bay. Then, too, we can’t see the priest more than once or twice a year, and that’s very inconvenient about dying, for pleurisy and consumption are very head- strong. And there’s no doctor at all, nor any roots or herbs for medicines, We keep alive on pain-killer and salts that the trad- ere sell. It’s a hard life, aud we don’t live to be very old We have to do all our own work—jack-of-all-trades, youknow. When we came here first to live, my wife and I cut ail the timber in the winter for build. ing these houses, sawed it by hand in a pit, and in the spring rafted it down the river.”

‘The social season of Labrador is the win- ter. There is no fishing thea to keep peo- ple at home; cutting wood and a little hunting are the only occupations. Winter lasts about eight months; when the chan- nels among the islands and tie bays are frozen over, dog teams can run up and down the coast for three hundred miles— from Mingan to Bonne Esperance. People then go visiting; they carry no provisions, for everybody keeps open house, and the little cabins are often packed with people and dogs. The winter homes, as a rule, are back some miles from the coast, where wood is handy. Several families who fish at Whale Head live on a swamp in winter, where the tread of a man along the street shakes every house. The Abbe Ferland says that in his time—about fifty years ago —the hospitality of the coast was such the people on going away from home used to leave food, and sometimes even money, on the table, and the doors unlecked, that needy travellers might enter and help themselves. But the advent of more travellers in these days has led to more cantion and lees generosity.

It is not surprising to find all seamen superstitious; the irresistiole and whimsical forces of the ocean must appear to them supernatural, and their changing fortunes mnst often seem the resnit of some n- fathomable mystery. Could events so ‘supernatural as those told by the Ancient Mariner be so appropriate to a landsman ? These fishermen are not behind other sea- faring men in either the number of their superstitions or the faith they repose in them. 3ut Labrador, in time, will doubt- less produce still more astonishing results in this regard ; for what other region on earth offers such elemental powers, such weird scenes, such impreasive hardships and horrors? Here is a region without a mile of road in three thousand miles of coast; 1 never elsewhere appre- ciated a wheel and a horseshoe. Some of ihese people have no idea of the shape and size of a cow ora horse, and they flee like hares at the coming of a stranger. I have stated elsewhere that lawlessness often pre- vails, and that those who are in need do not hesitate to break open stores and help themrelves. But their most astonishing traigs are laziness and improvidence here in sight of heart-rending hardship and want. Labrador, however, was formerly a sea of plenty; fishing, sealing, trapping, gave even the indolent a sure though a miserable living. In a few weeks the average man could fish enough to exchange with traders for the necesearies of life. This enabled him to idle away three-fourths of the year, and reli@ved him of any sense of rew- poneibility. But now fish, oil, and fur are no longer soabundant, The average family spends about one hundred dollars per year to get only the absolute necessities of life ; and yet the government is obliged very often to distribute flour and pork to prevent actual starvation; and it offers free passage aud work to those who will leave the coast.
