BOGUS WEDDING CARDS. |

The Wealthy Bride was a Myth—A Nova Scotiaa Swindler.

George A. Mason, formerly of Tangier, and late of New Glasgow, N.S., who re- cently served two years in a Springfield, Mass., jail for blackmail, has again dis- linguished himself by ewindling™ Mrs. Riggles, a Boston widow, out of $1,200.

cupy a warm place in her affections. cently George announced that he going to marry @ very wealthy widow of Winchester, and Mrs. Ruggles advanced | him $200 to buy his wedding outfit. The } imaginary bride gave George a cheque for $1,000 to pay the expenses of the wed- ding, but it was not to be cashed until the wedding day. Upon its security, how- ever, George persuaded Mrs, Ruggles to advance the $1,000. Four days later, George having mysteriously disappeared, she sent the cheque to the bank te be tashed, and found it was worthless. Then | she discovered that the wedding cards were bogus, that the wealthy bride was a myth, that George was a scoundrel of the first water, and that she had been victim ized out of her money. The Boston Herald of Saturday publishes a two-column expose of the swindle.

Seonnndll ese OUR LEGISLATURE.

Str,—Just at present, in the excitement of an election campaign, in which the change of constitution reently effected will absorba large amount of discussion,would it not be well to have the expression of the whole province on a further reduction of legislative machinery? We could commence, I feel sure, with the House, even as it now stands at thirty members. W ho is there that does not believe that the whole business of that body could be bet- ter performed by five or ten capable men ? Who will not admit that one single repre- sentative fur each the fifteen constitu- encies would amply fill all the require legisla wn? Nobody que ‘tions

It is unfortunate that level-headed and fairly educated men, men who would honestly discharge their duties as representatives of the people, are a'most always excluded to make place for self-seeking lawyers, 'y oliti- cal bummers or merchants whose ledgers elect them to their present positions what- ever their claims or qualifications. We all know that the agricultural interests How many farmers have they inParliament to represen them to the adequate, why not away with such appendages as sergesnts-at-arms

Let us to pay for only that which is absolutely necessary to the proper administration of our restrieted public worke,and all will cer- tainly clamor for a sweeping reduction of even the Peters-Scrimgeour monstrosity, as it now stands on the statute. Taxation equal to expenditure, at least, must surely be made by no matter what party intends ruling thie country. Mr. Peter’ may think that, like his prototype, Mercier, ie can boodle away our resources and anything he can raise on our credit, and then, with Fielding and Blair,—two, unscrupulous money squanderers like himself, induce us to consent to, or even without our con- sent induce us into a Maritime Union, where we would play footstool to their high schemes of personal advancement. The people are not quite so. blind as he innagines though, and this campaign will reveal a great deal of study of the methods of our politicians, as well as the means they must adopt to keep up or remodel a ridiculous legislature, which is fast run- ning the country into the depths. ELEcTor.

GRIT METHODS.

Six,—In my letter to you some short time ago, I promised to give you a further account of the canvassing schemes of McDonald and Forbes in this end of the

Belfast district. It appears that Engineer McMillan and. Supervisor Beaton are

| superseded, and the work of the latter at

least is now done by McDonald and Forbes personally. Why, sir, they are now giv- ing contracts on roads (which they have neglected for two years) in the vain at- tempt to keep their followers in the traces. In one instance, not far from this place, almost a whole neighborhood has been called out at this late season, and it is no vain stretch of imagination to say that miles of road (and that same repaired this season already) have Leen ploughed up by gangs of men employed at day’s wages. None but a grit need apply, and the boss gets $2 a day for looking on. In one-place, not far from here, they hired at day’s wages all whom they supposed were grits and had votes, and it is rumored boys 16 and 17 vears of age imposed on them and made then: believe they were of age to vote, and, consequently, got employment. In one instance—such is their ingratitude —they left, an old supporter in the coid and did not give him work, as one of the knowing ones told them he would never go to another election. It appears they re- pented and gave him a one dollar job. The weather was rather wet when _ this work was done, and it requires only a few days’ more rain to make the ‘roads woree than ever. Were these roads repaired in season it would be all sight. But when the money is now just.as. well as squandered to appease the growing in- dignation of their late followers, they resort “to ways that are dark and tricks that are vain,” to regain a confidence which they have justly forfeited and which after all they can never regain. The ex penditure was made because those honest men rebelled, and no thanks is now due Forbes and McDonald for the expenditure, as it was only done for base purposes which can be easily fathomed.

I find, also, a road is staked off at the Belfast church, with the avowed object of avoiding a rather steep ascent to this sacred spot. But what of it? Well, sir, it is said that “those whom the gods wish to destroy they first set mad,” and it is evidently true in this case. That the new road will be worse than the old is putting it mild. “Ne doubt a good road could be run Ujere; but so selfish are those grit leaders that for fear of having to pay a smallsum for a small bit of land for rightaway, toa good honest Conservative, they would ruin a chance torun it in the

? Then the representation cut down |

course which nature evidently intended it,

should be Jocated. . It 48 said’ the road is to be done by day’s wages (superintended by a local wheelwright) and it is said many votes are to be captured, . But-they count without their host. The people around Eldon are not to be bought and sold as they suppose.

I have something further to write, but as it is bordering on an attempt to bribe a strong Conservative by a grit candidate, I will reserve it now.

AN CPEN ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

Sin,--I think the people around here would be very ungrateful if they did not faise their voice in thanking our esteemed member, A. C. Macdonald: Esq., for the energy he put forth in providing us with a good shipping place. Last summer he got the dredge here and dredged ali around the wharf. This summer he got the wharf—which was a complete wreck— rebuilt, and I can safely say that it is now one of the best wharves itt this end of King’s County, as Mr. Maher, the con- tractor, spared neither time nor labor to make it strong and substantial. The road- way is simply beautiful. I can assure Mr.’ Macdonald that if he ran an election here now that he would pol] three votes to the one he did before.

Of al] the odd cases of deferred mar-

riages and interference with the course of true love, that which has lately turned up in New York is the strangest. “After every- thing was ready the girl refused to marry the man because he was “too small.” He was “only a little bit of a fellow,” she said, “nice enough for a watch charm, but not enough of him for a husband.”

Mr. Morton, the United States Secretary of Agriculture, speaking of the political situation in the United States, says the farmers have been “worked” by journey- men farmers, whe have for political pur- poses farmed the farmers and made feols of them. We have seen something in the same nature in Canada, oflythe “workers” whom Mr. Morton dubs journeymen farm- ers we cal’ grits,

Bradstreets, reviewing theswheat situa- tion in the United States, makes it out that, by official reports, there are now only 15,000,000 bushels of the export sur- plus remaining. Wheat is also going out of the eountry at the rate of from two to two and a half millions of bushels a week. The promise on this outlook is that Mr. Van Horne’s advice to Canadian farmers to hold their wheat will receive an eariy justification. While there are plenty of places for Europe to draw wheat from, the shutting off of the supply from such a source as the United States cannot but stiffen prices,

The latest ukase of the Czar of all the Russian regulates and restricts the fees that may be demanded by medical practi- tioners for their services throughout his dominions, The population is divided into three classes, the one composed of the nobles, the capitalists, the landowners, the manufacturers, the bankers, the principal merchants and members of the eivil, military, and naval service. The second class comprises lawyers, parsons and pro- fessional men, while class three consists of the balance of the population, For pa- tients belonging to the iirst class the fee is limited to five rubles, or $2.75, for each consultation; those forming the second class may pay not more than three rubles, or $1.65, while the cost of medical advice tothe masses is limited to 30 kopecks, or nineteen cents. Of course, patients will be permitted to pay larger fees if they wish to; but these are the largest sums that can be demanded.

W ogip’s Fair Grounps,Chicago,Oct. 22. — There was nearly a riot in Lady Aber- deen’s village of industries, cased by the attempt of about fifteen Irishmen to haul down the Union Jack floating from the tower of Blarney Castle in honor of Lord Aberdeen, Governor-General of Canada. They hau!lel the flag down oncefand the guards recovered it. Upon the second attempt a fight ensued between the guards and the Irishmen and their friends, which nearly developed into a riot.

Ortawa, Oct. 22.—The department of Agriculture has received a communication from W.

In view of the great success which attended the Canadian exhibit at Jamaica two or three years ago, it is possible that some Cana- dians who exhibited at Kingston may desire to participat: in the Porto Rico exhibition. Canada is notofficially taking part, and exhibitors will, tle ee have to send goods on their own responsibility, and this offer of the acting British Consul might prove advantageous to them.

Paris, Oct. 22.—The national funeral of Field Marshal MacMahon was held yester- day. The remains were conveyed to Hotel Des Invalides, through streets thronged with people. The remains were escorted by military bodies, veterans, diplomatic corps, representative of President Carnot, officers of the Russian fleet, generals of the Frency army, admirals of the French navy, academicians, civil delegates and many ¢arriages of flowers. Among the latter were elaborate tributes from the Emperor William of Germany and the Russian fleet. Low mass was celebratad at Hotel des Invalides, and Premier Depuy delivered the faneral oration. General Loiszllon spoke of the field marshal’s military career. The hearse was taken after services to Esplanade des Invalides, where 40,000 troops defiled past and saluted.

His excellency re- plied that he fully recognized the import- ance of both schemes to the imperial and Canadian interests, but that his position prohibited hiny from expressing -himself upon the matter. His tone showed, how- ever, how strongly he felt on the subject.
