The Intercolonlal Railway. The Ottawa Citizen says that in the man- agement of the I. C. R., Dr. Tupper has had more than common difficulties. It af- firms that he had to enforce economy at the cost of several friends and save the public money even if he had to face the music oi opposition even in his own constituency. It supposes that no one was prepared for the statement that the Intercolonial Rail- way was run on grounds so economical and vet it remarks that no accidents occur and that no trains are delayed to mar the utt- lity of the road.

United States Shipping Tonnage.

The Rogistrar of the Treasury, in his an- nual report says the total tonnage of the vessels i the United States exhibits a de- crease of 43,164 tons. The steam tonnage has increased 8,493 tons, the canal boat tonnage 15,046 tons, and the barge tonnage 31,082 tons, while the sailing tonnage has decreased 98,506. The proportion of the sailing tonnage registered is 55 per cent., and the steam tonnage 13 percent. The tonnage of vessels built during the past year was 52,474 tons leas than that of the preceding year.

What a most significant fact it is that on Wednesday morning last the London jour- nals published telegraphic despatches as to the condition of affairs the day before in Cabul and Candahar in Central Asia. What a wonderful tale that simple state- ment tells. But the world has got so used to scientific marvels and achievements that the most astonishing facts coming to its notice fail to astonish. One of the most remarkable features of astonishing things in these days too, is their extreme utility. It is wonderful that telegraphic communica- tion has been established between London and Cabul, but that establishment must prove of immense value.— News.

It is related that a Hindoo on being in- troduced te an American in India, refused to shake hands, on the ground that people in the United States eat the flesh of hogs after it had been kept in brine for a long period. From the Hindoo point of view such diet would represent the extremity of disgust, but when we learn that vast quan- tities of pork are annually consumed as food, and think what the habits and nature of the hog are, we cannot wonder at the horror expressed by the Hindoo. At Ash- bury Park, N. J., the Mayor had to take strong measures to break up the traffic in diseased pork. The despatch which con- veys the intelligence adas {that large ship- ments of the same kind of meat are regular- ly made to New York, Another, and per- haps, better authority says that very few hogs sent eastward are free from disease of some kind.

A story is told of a daughter of a promin- ent person now in the lecture field, which is peculiarly interesting and suggestive of unconscious wisdom. <A gentleman was in- vited to the lecturer’s house to tea. Im- mediately on being seated at the table, the little girl astonished the family circle and guest by the abrupt question, ‘Where is your wife?” Now the gentleman, having been recently separated from the partner of his life, was taken so completely by sur- prise that he stammered forth the truth— ‘I don’t know.” ‘‘Don’t know !” replied the enfunt terrible. ‘Why don’t you know ?” Finding that the child persisted in her in- terrogatories despite the mild reproof of her parents, he concluded to make a clean breast of the matter and have it over at once. He said with a calmness that was the result of inward expletives, ‘Well, we don’t live together; we can’t agree, we'd better not.” He stifled a groan as the child began again,and dartedjan exasperated look at her parents. But the little torment would not be quieted until she exclaimed, “Can't agree! Then why don’t you fight it outas pa and ma do?” ‘*Vengeance is mine,” laughingly retorted the visitor, after ‘‘pa” and ‘‘ma” exchanged looks of ‘holy horror, followed by the inevitable roar. ~—_>——— ——

PUNISHMENT IN THE Anmy.—Courts Martial have been busy at Halifax lately. A private, named Taylor, belonging to the 97th Regiment, was sentenced to 12 morths’ imprisonment for drunkenness. On being removed to the guard room, he struck the Regimental Sergeant-Major in the face with his glengary cap, for which he was subsequently sentenced to five years’ im prisonment. William Cullerton, aged twenty-one, a Royal Artillery Gunner, was also tried by District Court Martial, and sentenced to two years imprisonment and to be dismissed from the service with ig- nominy, ‘* for insubordinate language ” to Major Ma:donnell. The most remarkable ' case, is the following: ~Some time ago a gunner of the Royal Artillary named Moran, for unbecoming language to Major Maedounell, and ‘ insubordination,” was tried by a District Conrt-Martail and entenced to two yzars imprisonment, and to be dismissed from the service with ignominy. After the pronimlgation of his sentence, Moran was being removed to the guard-room, under an escort--a rather young recruit. Considerable snow had fallen tha, morning, and only a narrow pata had been shovelled from the room in which the Court was held to the guard- room. Lieut. Howie was standing or walk- ing s!owly along the path, when Moran, smarting under the punishment that had just been raeted out to him, and apparentiy mt recoznizing the officer, placed his hand on the officer’s shoulder, and gave hima gentle push, telling him to get out of the way. For this crime Moran was tried by a General Court Martial on the 26th inst. After heariag the evidence, the Court sen- tenced Moran to seven years penal servi-

PRINCIPAL:

The Rev, John Padfield.

rYXHIS SCHOOL offers, at very moderate cost. the advantages of a comfortable and pleasant home together with a thorough and refined education.

The course of Instruction is the same as that of the best Schools in England and is founded upon the University Examinations for Women. Eight young ladies from this School passed the Local Examination of the University of King’s Coliege in June last. This is the only School in Canada that has passed pupils at a University Examination. The number of pupils is limited, rendering the School select, and while it possesses all the educational advantages of a large public school, each pupil is enabled to receive that individual care and oversight which is so important, and which cannot be given ina large establish- ment,

Mr. and Mrs. Padfield are assisted by a staff of four resident governesses, besides visit- ing masters.
