Souris. For its beauty of location, Souris the palm shall claim, While the stars maintain their station, Or the sea on its front remain.

It neatly stands around its bay,

On a gently rising land, And from its heights when view’d you'll say ' The scene is superbly grand.

For richer soil or purer air, No town can this surpass,

Nor cana land’ be seen more fair, Than surrounds it as you pass.

That lovely land in Souris West, Running down to Rollo Bay,

Has endless charms and is the best That e’er in a region lay.

To view this land in summer time, When the fields look green and fair,

You'd think no land in any clime With this could e’er compare.

In after years as time rolls on,

W hen Souris shall skirt its bays,

"Twill be as lovely to gaze upon,

As any of ancient days. E. P. Forp, M. D.

Notes, Comments and Opinions.

The Montreal Gazette says:—‘‘ So far as opinion has been elicited in Canada, the threatened pvulicy of the United States has excited no alarm and certainly no disposi- tion to ke bullied into’ the surrender of rights. We do not desire to draw away from our neighbors. On the coutra- ry, the disposition to cultivate and extend friendly and mutually advantageous trade with them, abounds; but if they are bent on shutting us out, we can reflect with pride and satisfaction that the policy of mnaterial development pursued during the last ten years has placed us in a position of independence, and rendered of less concern than ever before in the history of Canada, the methods the United States may employ in relation to trade and commerce between the two countries.”

The Empire remarks: ‘‘In turning his back upon himself as to the distinction be- tween fishing and trading vessels, Presi- dent Cleveland is evidently fishing for votes and trading in his good repute for fairness and consistency in his official intercourse with a friendly nation.”

The St. John Sun reports: ‘‘It is un- derstood that traffic will commence on the River du Loup railway about the fifteenth of next month. This line of railway brings Montreal and Western Canada two hun- dred and fifty miles nearer St. John than they are to Halifax by way of the Inter- colonial. It is the shortest possible route to the winter ports of Canada on Canadian territory. If we had elevators at St. John we might reasonably expect a considerable quantity of grain to seek shipment from this port rather than faom the longer route to Halifax.”

Sir Charles Tupper said in his budget speech of two years ago: ‘‘ While I most earnestly hope that no such policy will be adopted; while I have not the slightest idea that it will, I'say that should it be adopted, great as is the American Republic, enor- mous as is their population, they will find that Canada feels that she has as great and as valuable a portion of this North Ameri- can continent under her management: and to be developed as that lying to the south of us; and they will find the people of this country on both sides of politics a united band of patriots who, sinking every other consideration, will say that whatever gov- ernment is in powér, they owe it to their {country, they owe it to themselves, to show

that there will be no faltering in maintain-

jing to the utmost the undoubted and ad- mitted rights that belong to the people of Canada.”

The Toronto Globe admits that ‘* Cana- dians cvuld live, and live in a. high degree of comfort, if absolutely cutoff from ex- change with the States. The calm spirit with which Dominion journals of all shades of political opinion have discussed the pro- posed retaliation is good evidence that it does not at all terrify the people of this country. . Instead of annexation resulting from the execution of the threat, the deter- mination of Canadians to maintain their separate political existence would be there- by greatly strengthened. Indeed, that resolve has already been notably stimulated by the Senate’s action and the President’s message. The incident will ‘not be’ with- out good effects. Before iv closes, Ameri- cans will probably come to understand that we have wished to be on good terms with them rather from neighborly and Christian feeling than from fear of them, or from desire for the profits of larger trade with them.”

Mr. Van Horne says: ‘The policy of non-intercourse between the United States and Canada would damage American rail- road interests between two and three dol- lars where it would injure Canadian inter- ests one.” On the question of the Keoeml commercial damage to each country, Mr. VanHorne thinks that American interests would suffer twenty times more than Canadian.

The Hmpire furnishes an instance by which the effect of these suggestions may be judged. Last year, when the retalia- tory resolutions were passed in Congress, a Toronto dealer gave instructions to his English shippers to forward goods by way of the St. Lawrence instead of by New York. He got his goods as promptly by this way as the other, and concluded when winter came to try Halifax and the: Inter- colonial. He found that this course gaye! good satisfaction, and intends to continue. it. No doubt many Canadians will not wait to see whether the proposed policy of retaliation will be carried out, but will fol- low the example of the Toronto firm above mentioned where they can do so without loss. In many cases the balance is*about even between the two routes, and the pro- position of the President will turn the scale.

A London (G. B.) despatch (Auyz. 27) says: ‘* President Cleveland's avtion, how-

ever, is regarded as a great political exi- gency in view of the election. | Regarding the probable effect on Canada of a retalia- tion policy, sounder views now prevail than on the first receipt of the news, it becoming understuod that Canada is far less at the mercy of the States now than years ago, and is more able to hold her own than English journalists realized when first com- menting on the news.”

The Empire remarks: ‘*There is one effect produced which is not, perhaps, what the Democrats expected when they so promptly applauded Mr. Cleveland’s action. The Republican party are gradually chang- ing their base as well, and their ablest men —Mr. Blaine, for instance—are now en- gaged in demonstrating, with some success, the utter wantonness of the President’s conduct. This, however, is a matter for settlement among the factions themselves, and the commercial communities affected will, no doubt, give the subject’ of non-in- tercourse with Canada—for that is what is meant—as,serious consideration as they ever gave to any question in all their history. As for Canada they are looking at this thing soberly and calmly and not getting unduly excited.” They have grown accustomed to such threats, since they have been launched so frequently in the past twent-five years. At the same time Canadians do not under-rate ‘the gravity of a hostile Message directed against Canada, a people of five millions, delivered to the world in the name of the United States, a nation of sixty millions, by an Ex- ecutive who but a few months before had ratified a Treaty providing, as was supposed, against the possibility of the development of such hostility in the future. Canada quite understands the purport of that Mes- sage; it appreciates its significance, and does not propose to shirk any responsibility which may belong to this country. What it does repudiate is the charge of unneigh- borly conduct—the charge that we have violated treaties—the charge that we have invaded the rights of the United States or of United States citizens. Such an accusa- tion is as false as any charge can be. There is not a scintilla of evidence to support it.”

Towed by a Whale.

TAKES THE ANCHOR IN HIS MOUTH AND RUNS AWAY WITH A SCHOONER.

The Cape Breton Advertiser of a recent date gives the following account of an ad- venture seldom experienced. It says: ‘*Capt. Nelson, of the schooner of H. B. Griffin, now fishing on the Newfoundland banks, in writing to his friends at this port, relates the novel experience he lately went through of being towed by a whale. The steward and himself were on board, as usual, looking after the vessel and keeping an eye on the dvries, when they felt a sudden jerk, and soon the vessel was going through the water at a rapid rate and no motive power visible. They were becoming alarmed, when suddenly the cause was made manifest as a monster whale arose to the surface with the anchor fast in’ either jaw or blow hole. He tore through the water at a terriffic rate and was fast taking the craft out of sight of the dories, thus leaving’ the crews exposed. The only remedy was to cut the cable. This was done, and the monster started off with the anchorand cable. Sail was at once set, and, after picking up the boats, the vessel was headed for Newfoundland, where a new: anchor and cable were pur- chased.” Ps ae

The Girl They Wanted.

A young woman in Toronto recently answered an advertisement for housemaid, and the lady of the house seemed pleased with her. But before engaging her there were some questions to ask.

‘* Suppose,” said the lady, ‘‘now only suppose, understand, that you were carry- ing a piece of steak from the kitchen, and by accident should let it slip from the plate to the floor ; what would youdo in such a case ?”

The girl looked at the lady square in the eye for a moment before asking :

‘*Is it a private family or a boarding house ?”

‘* Boarding,” answered the lady.

**Pick it up and put it back on the plate,” firmly replied the girl. She was engaged. —-Toronto Mail.

A Drummer’s Mistake.

A Philadelphia drummer saw a man in a railroad car whom he thought _he knew, and slapping him on the back, asked him how he was. The man looked up, and the drum- mer saw that he was a stranger. He apol- ogized, saying he thought that he wasa friend of his. What followed is thus told by a Jersey newspaper :

““T hope Iam a friend of yours,” the man said, and they got to talking, and the commercial man seeing the gentleman’s gripsack, thought he must be a commercial man also, and asked him what house he represented. ‘‘I represent,” said the gen- tleman, ‘the largest house in the world.”

“Well,” said the travelling man, ‘‘if you represent the largest house in the world you certainly have a’ snap. What house is it?”

‘* The Lord’s house,” said the gentleman; ‘*my name is Bishop John Scarborough, of the Protestant Episcopal Church.”

Apvick to MorHers.— Mrs. Winslow’ Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child: from paia; and the little cherub awakes as ‘‘bright as a button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diarrhma, whether arising from teething or other causes. Twenty-five cents a bottle. Be sure an? ask for Mrs, Winslow's Soothing Syrup, and take no other kind. [April] °88
