Taxing the Bachelors.

A patriot in the Georgia Legislature deserves to have a_ statue erected in his honor. His name is Connel, and, if his philantrophic and patriotic efforts are successful, posterity will owe him a heavy debt. Seeing how great a loss his native

‘many unmarried men and women in it, he has introduced a bill into the Legisla- ture providing that all male inhabitants of the State who havo arrived at the age of thirty years, and who have never

married, shall be taxed $250 per annum. Any _ old bachelor whom this ifaw drives into matri- mony shall be exempted from the

tax. Why single womex over the age above mentioned are not taxed to an equal amount is, we presume, either because the introducer of the bill believes it is not their fault that they are not married, or that because no unmarried lady ever attains the venerable age of thirty. Mr. Connel, indeed, sympathizes with the ladies who, owing to the cold- ness, the selfishness, or the want of appreciation of men, are condemned to a life of single blesseduess, for he calls upon “the good ladies of our good and grand old commonwealth to join the reformers and moralista of the country in order to correct this most monstrous and ruinous evil which now stalks abroad in our Sunny South and would-be virtuous land.’

Louis Riel in Jail.

(Manitoba Free Press.)

In his cell at Regina, Riel has a little table and all the necessary materials, and thus he whiles away the weary hours jotting down leading incidents in connection with his life. As his career has beea somewhat varied from that of ordinary beings, it will doubtless take him all histime to sum up his histery between uow and the 18th = of September. It is astonishing, too, the number of people who lin- ger about the barracks in order to secure the autograph of the rebel leader. He has a very nice signature for one who sperted a Private Secretary and consequently did not have much to do in the line of penmanship. His penman- ship generally, however, greatly re- sembles that of a school-boy who makes fruitless attempts to outdo the headline. In consequence of the “Riel autograph tever,” as it is termed, having broken out among the good people of Regina, the statiocery dealers have had a little boom aud now an autograph album cannot be had in the Capital for love or money. As for Riel he is always too happy to accommodate his friends in this manner, and being of a poetical nature, he generally adds a verse as a souvenir when he has flown to a happier sphere. When sentence was passed he atill had a firm belief that he wonld be reprieved, but gradually that opinion has vanished from his mind until now he can only see a faint ray of hope gleaming from the Privy Council. When Mr. T. C. Johnston, one of his counsel, informed him the other day that the appeal in his case was being rapidly pushed forward, he said: ‘ Well, I sup pose it’s no harm to be prepared to meet the end.”

The Tonquin Massacres.

The massacre of Christians in Tonquin is sure to be associated unfavorably with France’s schemes of colonial expansion, and possibly political ambition may have its share in undoing the work of_missior- ery enterprise. It would be unfair, how- ever to charge the rising against the mission stations on the persistent occu- pation at Tonquin by Freuch soldiers. Such paroxysms of pagan fury broke out in the country from time to time long before Garnier’s explorations gave the impulse to colonization or, rather, to conquest which has produced so many complications. The story of missionary devotion in the empire of Annam is, indeed, one of the most interesting and, in some respects, romantic in the anvals of the propagation of the faith. The gospel was first preached on the scene of the late massacre in the second quarter of the 17th century—a period in which apostolic zeal did so much for our own country—by a Jesuit named Father de Rhodes. In 1650 this remarkable man, after years of toil in the East, undertook a journey to France which resulted in the foundation of the “Missions Etrangeres” of Paris, the seminary of which has trained so many priests for foreign evangelization. He also succeeded in having vicars-apostclic appointed for Tonquin and Cochin-China.

After this reorganisation, the mission in those yg was prosecuted with such vigor that before the end oi the century there were computed to be 200,000 converts in the Annamite empire. In 1712, however, adverse imperial edicts gave rise to persecution, and the missionaries and their disciples were exposed to-many dangers. On this occasion their pradent conduct baffled

the designs of their enemies; but in

1721 ao uprising took place by which many of them lost their lives, and others were reduced to slavery. After quic' was restored, the mission languished ti ! 1736, when some Jesuit volunteers attempted to revive it, were seized and pet to death. The rage of the natives against the Christians was not yet ap-

State was suffering from there being so ;peased when, in 1770, a crisis occurred,

the effect of which was, after a while, to place Christianity ia a position of security and honor.

The crisis in question was no less than a revolution by which the Emperor was deposed and executed. In his distress, the heir to the throne, Gialong, betook himself to the bishop Mgr. Pigneau de Behaine, who showed himself to be a statesman as well as a divine. He availed himself of the opportunity fur- nished by the plight of the royal refugee to extend the influence of the French court over Annam. Obtainiog soldiers from Louis XVI., whose evil days were still in the distance, he seated Gialong on the throne of his ancestors and made himself practically his prime minirter. Before Mgr. de Behaine died in 1799, he obtained from the sovereign of Annam a promise cf protection to the Christians, which was faithfully kept as long as

Gialong lived. On his death in 1828. his son Minh-Menh _ suc- ceeded him; but, though he had

undertaken to fulfil his father’s wishes, he soon listened to other counsel, aod till his death in 1840 the Christians had no peace. His son, Thein Tri, was little better. When he died in 1847, Tua Duc, whose eventful reign lasted till 1883, ascended the throne. Under him, too, the treatmentof the converts was cruel, and the massacre of some French and Spanish clergy had called for iater- vention some years before Garnier’s dis- coveries suggested the extension of French power from Cochin China to the delta of the Song Koi. It will be seen, therefore, that the Roman Catholic mis- sions in Annam Jong avtedated any pro- ject of French colonization, and that persecution had ocenrred nearly two cen- turies before the French oceupation of Tonquio.

United States Annexed Territory.

The first annexation to the United States was the province of Louisiana. France received $15,000,000 from the government for it, The articles of conveyance were signed at Paris, April 30, 1803, by Living- stone and Monree on the part of the United States, and by Barbe-Marbois on the part of France. By this purchase 1,171,- 931 square miles were added to the area of the union, including nearly all of the Mississippi valley. The next addition was Florida, ceded by Spain te the United States in return for the payment by the latter country of claims of American citizens against Spain amounting to $5,000,000. The limi*s of Florida at the time of purchase were the same as now. Texas was annexed without the formality of a treaty in 1845. It added 376,133 square miles to the union. New Mexico and upper California were acquired as apart of the results of the Mexican war, although Mexico was appeased for her loss by the sum of $15,000,000, and Texas was afterwards paid $10,000,000 for the part of New Mexico east of the Rio Grande. The areas of the republic were thus increased by 545,733 square miles. By the Gadsden Treaty of 1853 the United States acquired from Mexico for the sum of $10,000,000 the poasession of the Moquila Valiey, comprising the southern part of Arizona, an area of of 45,535 square miles. The above annexation were made while the Democrats were in power. The Re- publicans had almost complete sway from 1861 to 1885, and they increased their, terri- tory, but once, in 1867, when they bought that beautiful picnic ground known as Alaska, 577,390 acres, for which $7,200,000 were paid. The total addition under Democratic administrations was 2,198,650 equare miles, about three-quarters of the total area of the United States of the present time, while the total addition by Republican administrations was— Alaska.

In justice to the great Republican organi- zation it should be said, however, that during its administration there was some talk of annexing San Domingo.

Gold in Nova Scotia.

A correspondent of the Yarmouth, N. &., Times, writing from Bridgewater, N. &., says :- Mr. J. L. Nelson, of this place, has brought to town some of the richest gold- bearing quartz ever discovered in this county. ‘The mine is within a few feet of the Pleasant River road, and about fifteen miles from Bridgewater. The lead, which

‘has only been worked to a very limited

extent, is about seven inches in width, and has been excavated to a depth of five feet. It has been cross cut,in several places, and the “‘ yield” promises to be abundant, the quartz shown containing coarse and fine gold of remarkable richness. The fortu- nate owner of the property is Mr. W. J. Nelson, who has not yet had an cppor- tunity of getting any of the quartz crushed, but when it is done it is estimated the result will place the mine among the first in this Province. ~ ee -
