Old Times in Annapolis, N. 8.
A correspondent of the Halifex Herald
writes: Coming up on the train from Annapolis, I shad a very interesting chat with Peter Bennett, ex-sheriff of the county. He is an extraordinary old man— the oldest resident of ancient Port Royal, and knows more about its history during the past three-quarters of a century than any other man living. He is small of stature, and though born 81 years ago, his memory is as clear, his eyesight almost as keen, his step as firm, and his walk as erect as any man of 55. He was the son ofa
_United Empire Loyalist who came to An-
napolis from New York in 1783 —a descend- ‘ant of the Huguenots, Twelve years later he married a Miss Palmer of Horton,
'by whom he had a family of nine children.

That was afuil grown tree when he was a boy and was then used as a public whipping post. He has seen a number of men pub- ‘licly flogged there—gettieg thirty-nine |lashes each ; and on one occasion he saw a woman flogged at the same tree. She got fifteen lashes on the bare back for stealing. He has frequently seen soldiers flogged in
ithe barracks for desertion. On one occasion
he sawa man branded in the court house.
|}He was guilty of manslaughter and the
letter M was burnt into the palm of his ‘hand. The ceremony was performed by ‘Sheriff Winniet, father of Sir William |Winniet, at one time Governor of Cape Coast Castle. Mr. Bennett has a vivid recollection of the war of 1812 and the \stirring events connected therewith. Long after that thrilling period one thousand Imperial troops were stationed at Auna-
ebove Company Ala lis. When the paternal Bennett came from
New York, one hundred and three years | ago, he brought two or three slaves ‘with him and kept them at Annapolis for many years, disposing of them at a large discount just before the declaration of emancipatioa, Mr, Bennett thinks there never ought to have been any emancipa- tion, and that the colored people would be far better off if they were still in slavery. Being articles of marketable value, he thinks they would be much better takea care off by their masters than they now take care of themselves. He would, how- ever, be in favor of the punishment of owners for cruel treatment of their slaves. For over a quarter of a century Mr. B. was isheriff of his native county. He has been |a life long liberal; and while he himself is in favor of repeal, he admits that the young generation—-the future—is against it. And there is therefore no hope for the success of the movement. He still lives in the house that he built half a century ago, and which | has never since been shingled, They built substantial houses in those days.

A large landowner in Cheshire has dis- charged all his gamekeepers, and has given permission to his tenants to kill any game that may be seen on their farms. The tenants, who are much pleased, have agsur- ed their landlords that they will take care that he is never without sport. On the Hawarden estates (Gladstone’s) this system was adopted some time ago, only the park around the castle being reserved.
At a meeting of the Belfast Anti-Repeal Union, arrangements were made to hold a convention of Loyalists in the near future. Letters from England were read offering armed assistance.
One firm of manufacturers in the Pro vince of Ulster has already corcluded arrangements for the transfer of its mills to Germany. It is stated that other Ulster firms are also considering the advisability of removal.
More firearms have been sold in London- derry during the past three months than were sold during the previous five years, Orders have just been given there for 1,000 new rifles) Crowded meetings of Orangemen were held at Newry and Mourne, at which pledges were given not to submit to the Duabim Parliament and not to pay taxes.

An Important Achievement
For some time past the question of purity in baking powders has formed quite a fea- ture of newspaper discussions in Boston, and eminent doctors of philesophy have given opinions as to the ingredients which compose many of the articles sold under that aame. The investigations have nar- rowed down to the limit which awards the Royal Baking Powder the palm of purity, and several of the most distinguished scien- tists have testified to their conviction that no extraneous or deleterious matter enters inte its composition. The Royal Baking Powder Company have achieved a world wide reputation for the success which has warked their preparation of cream of tar- tar for baking purposes. I+ is indisputably shown that they have eliminated all ele- ments of tartrate of lime, alum or other impurities, and present to the public a healthful and chemically pure article. Such widely-known chemists as Henry Morton, E. G. Love, H. A. Mott, Wm. McMartrie, and others have verified its superiority over other manufactures, and testified, through practical experience, to its excellence. It is well for families to observe the fact that it costs more to manufacture the Royal Baking Powder than any other, but it is, as shown by chemical analysis, the only ‘absolutely pure” baking powder made.

A United Imperial Navy.
While it is well known that Sir Alex- ander Galt is in favour of Imperial Feder- ation, it is also known that he regards, at least for the present, the difficulties in the way of a union of customs or of legislation as almost insurmountable. He thinks, however, that a step might be taken in the direction of union by the formation of an Imperial Navy. No doubt doth Great Britain and the Colunies are ripe for this step, and it is equally certain that it is one which might be taken with advantage to all concerned. Indeed, circumstances are al- ready forcing upon both Canada and Australia the necessity of maintenance of vessels for the protection of their maritime interests. Certain of the Australian Col- onies have already modern warships of their own for the protection of their com- merce, and Canada, if she is really to pro- tect her fisheries, will be compelled to have effective warehips sooner or later. By building one or two for such a confeder- ation, Canada would practically secure such a reserve force in case of serious trouble as would make the strongest nation en the face of the earth hesitate before entering upon a quarrel with her.

A Woman Detective
When a woman sets deliberately to work as a detective she knocks the spots off a man almost every time. This is illustrated by the striking achievements in this line of Mrs. L. Cock, a wealthy Louisville woman, who, as she drove home one day in her carriage, discovered a brutal-looking ruf- fian emerging from a side entrance to her premises with a well-stored bag upon his shoulder. The man’s whole appearance breathed the word ‘ burglar” so plainly that Mrs. Cook whispered to her coach- man to shadow him, and the equipage was turned around and followed siowly after the retreating villain. After many devious windings he was tracked to his lair, which proved to be a reepectable hotel, The | carriage was at once driven to police head- querters, and two detectives, in plain clothes, accompaniel Mrs. Cook back to | the lair, The brutal-looking ruffian proved |to be a garbarge collector, and when Mrs, ‘Cook got home she found she hadn't lost anything,
