Toe Monetary Times refers to the number and _ variety of products which Canada exports. Most per- sons kuow that we ship lumber to the States, timber and _ deals, cattle and cheese to Britain. Many are aware that our phosphates and our) potash go to the Continent,that our coal| and forest products go abroad, that we} ship furs and fish to various countries. | But the number of our products and the | widely scattered localities to which they | go are not dreamed of by the average) reader. Even the person who studies | the Trade and Navigation Returns tor the fiscal year 1884-5, is not prnerer for all that he may there find. Her for example, is alist of mineral! ceed! shipped abroad during the year named, their total value being between two and

three millions of dollars. MINERAL PRODUCTS.

Twenty-five millions of dollars is a pretty tidy sum to realize from the sale of animals and their preduce. The ‘* produce” appears to constitute more than a moiety in value of the whole. Of the live animals exported, the horses and poultry went, as a rule, to the United States, the horned cattle, sheep and swine to Great Britain. The dead meat went all to the Old Country, as well as most of the ten millions worth ef cheese and butter. Eggs were bought by our neighbors to the south. So was wool, and many of the minor articles, such as bones, horns, hides, furs, which go to make up the total of $6,789 pew under this heading shipped by the Do-|

minion to the States last year. |

Horrible Butchery.

|

A series of terrible murders has been committed at Arboldas, i: the State of Santander, Panama, an entire family hav- ing been assassinated. The names of the} victims are:—Carbelion Marcales; his} wife, Facunda Ortega; Camilla, a girl of 12 years of age; Valera, aged 10 ; Ricardo, aged 8; Cayettano, aged 5; Virginia, aged | 2, and an infant which the mother had| given birth to in the excitement which pre-| ceded the slaughter. The crime caused a| profound sensation, and the populace if not. prevented would undoubtedly have sum-| marily disposed of the assassins by lynching them. They are six in number and their names are :—Antonia Esteban, Francisco Marciales, Miguel Flores, Pantaleon Rosc, and a deafand dunib man. The President of the Republic has directed the assassins to be tried by military court-martial. The apprehension of the assassins has brought light on other crimes of a revolting charac-

Westward Ho!

The movement of population into the Northwest this season promises to be large, not only from Great Britain, but also from the Eastern Provinces. Smal! parties of old country people have

‘already arrived at Winnipeg, on their

way totake up land, many of them in Southern Manitoba. The largest singie

‘excursion, however, was from. the coun-

ties of Huron, Grey, Bruce and Vic- toria, comprising over eighty families, So well supplied were they with the materials for making life ‘comfortable in the new region they go to populate, that it took four trains to con- vey them, over fifty cars being occupied with their stuff, which included horses, cattle and the most improved agricul- tural machinery. They were closely ‘followed by a special of twelve cars | similarly loaded fror m another sec’ion of | Ontario, and cews of ocher parties pre ariog to start for the West is daily chronicled in our exchanges. ‘The look- ing to Dakota, that in some districts a few years ago was the goai of mosi of }our migrating farmers, is now evidently | fast becoming a thing of the past, the surplus population of the older setiled districts of the Exst finding its way in lincreasing volume to our own Northwest.

Weather Predictions for Apri!

The probabilities for April are, according to Mr. Walter H. Smith, of Montre.l. is Canada April promises to be a favorable month on the whole. The sugar crop, as before mentioned, will be excellent and abundant. Farming operations will begin, and navigation open early. For all this meath will not be all sunshine, but is likely, as already stated, to enter cold and white, the “Borrowed Days” giving a marked coo! term—due, doubtless, to a dense stream of meteors passing between the sun and earth, near the former, and intercepting heat. The month will have its storm periods, but they will be long drawn out, rather than short and intense. Early warmth will bring on vegetation rapidly, but | fear that cold afterwards is going to cause agricul turists inconvenience. Between the cold terms there are likely to be periods of very pleasant, marked spring-like weather,warm f& the season, which wiil bring migratory birds to hand earlier than usual. Precipi- tation I would place below the normal for the month. Considerable electrical and magnetic activity is probable. April is likely to end and the ‘‘ moving days” of May open cold, with showers of sleet, cold rain, snow flurries and strong winds Local floods and high waters in many locali- ties. The opening of navigation at Mon- treal I would place between the 18th and 2ist, and the first grrival from sea during the last one or &. days of April, 1886. Greatest precipitation during the first half of the month,

Saved from the Sea

The ship Southern Cross, which arrived at New York last week from Lloiio, rescued a portion of the crew of the British ship Hudson Bay, on January 11, 90 miles south-east of Cape Aguiihas, and afterwards landed the shipwrecked men at Capetown. The Hudson Bay, which was an iron vessel,

}} left Samarang November 21 for Falmouth

under W. Vysy, with a cargo of sugar. On January 6, when the ship was 210 miles off Piettonburg Bay, a heavy north-westerly gale set in. She was thrown on her beam ends and lay in the trough of the sea with her lee rail under water until the next day, despite all efforts to right her. The iron epars, which had been cut away and were hanging over the sides, pounded holes through the iron plates below the water mark, and the vssel began to fill rapidly and soon sank. Those who were below were drowned in their berths, while those on deck were thrown into the water. Capt. Vyay was among the latter, but he seized a piece of wreckage, by means of which he managed to keep afloat. Nine of the men succeeded in reaching a boat, and they soon picked up the captain. Several times during the following night the boat narrowly escaped being swamped. The following day, when the occupants of the boat were nearly ex- hausted, the Southern Cross came up and rescued the men. —— tl —————— -

Names of Steamships.

To those who understand the nomencla-

| Ey

ture of ocean steamships it is unnecessary to say that the Oregon was not a born

Yuaarder. Her name shows that. A writer | im the Rochester Democrat gives some interesting information as to the rules lobserved by the different lines in naming their vessels:—

“The Guion ships for instance are named after states and territories in the Northwest, includiag

Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona, Alaska and Oregon. The last named vessel, whose sad fate awakens so

l|much notice, was purchased by the Cunard Company from the Guion. The White Star line | pr efe rs names ending in ‘ic,’ as the Germanic, th« Celtic, the Britanni The Cunard Company selects names ending in ‘ia.’ such as the

Scynthia, the Persia, the Servia and the

Aurania: and the Anchor pursues the same practice. The National line very properly uses the names of nations, such as Greece , Spain gypt, while the Inman line honors various dis- tinguished cities, sueh as Chicago and Berlin. |The State line goes for States, and names its ships Pennsylvania, Nebraska, etc.; but the Ham- | burg line dips into literature and ‘calls its ships the Wieland, the Gellert, and the Lessing, with | other distinguished names. The French on the other hand love wines more than books, and hence the Bordeaux line names its vessels after the best bre an ds, such as Chateau Leon Ville and Chateau Lafitte. The Bremen and Hall vessels are nh named after birds, and the United States and the Brazil line selects names ending in ‘ance,’ such as the Finance, the Advance, the Reliance. The Monarch line, on the other hand, deals in monarchs, and its list comprises the Assyrian Monarch, the Lydian Monarch, the Grecian Mon- arch, etc, In this manner a remarkable degree of uniformit a cai in the midst of a wide variety

eee
