A recent Montreal despatch says:—-‘*A man named Simeon Goulet was taken to the
General Hospital to-night, suffering from a

Upon enquiry it was learn-
ed that Goulet, who is a promiment Ro tje }
politician, was rélating the triumphs of the recent Chambly election, when he laughed
;
so heartily that he dislocated his jaw.”
Commenting 2 on this the Moncton Times says:— ‘It i it often the Grits have cause
to laugl I eartily, and there will be little
risk of dislocated jaws after the next yeneral election.’

That voters attended at certain polling places apd tendered their votes for him, but the votes were rejected.
2. That franchise voters who voted for McKay had not properly signed certificates.
3. That special votes were counted by the Sheriff when the voters either had no qualitication or the forms were not filled up correctly

Las? evening's practice of our tire laddies was to have been in full war paint, but owing to the rain which commenced to fall about six o'clock and continued until almost dark, it coul ld not be so. They, how ever, had some exercises and decided to wong their final practice to-night. They
re all in the pink of condition, and are determined to do their level best to win, as we feel assured they will. Their parade uniforms have been touched up and look real nobby. Their racing suits consist of

About a year ago Brooks induced the girl to accompany him to Cumberland, Md., where a mock ceremony was performed. | The couple returned home and lived | together as man and wife uutil the facts became known and they were indicted by the grand jury. While the case was pend-' ing Miss Offiner returned to her parents. She says that while riding horseback she met Brooks, who endeavored to persuade her to dismount. On her refusal he put his hand behind him and threatened to kill her unless she did as he wished, whereupon she drew her revolver and shot him in the forehead, killing him instantly.

Typhoid Fever Epidemic.
A despatch from Pittsburg, Pa., on the 4th, says that typhoid fever has assumed almost epidemic proportions in South Pittsburg. Of 135 cases in the city 75 are in two wards of the south side. Six deaths occurred within the past twenty-four hours. Eight new cases were reported yesterday.
Five new cases and three deaths were re- ported to-day. The disease is spreading rapidly. In the twenty-fifth ward
there are 121 cases, many of them serious. Five new cases of fever have been dev elop- ed in West Elizabeth within the last forty- eight hours. Physicians attribute the dis- ease to impure water. et a Church Full of Honey.
The Christian Church at Harmony. UL, has been inhabited by bees for a number of years. The bees took up their abode in the wall behind the pulpit, and became so numerous that the Church had to be closed, A few days ago a crowd collected and rip- ped the siding off from foundation to roof, and found that the bees had deposited their honey io the wall between the shed- ding, which were 3 inches wide and 6 inches

The fact is commented upon that those who have been captured and con- victed have suffered too light sentences, and the judiciary is called upon to make punishment so severe as to check future stealings.
Queen Elizabeth's Navy.
—_—_ —_
An interesting list was recently compiled by the London Army and Navy Gazette of the British navy as it was in 1599. Its two largest vessels were the Triumph and St. Matthew, of 1,000 tons and 500 men each, the former carrying 68 guns and the latter 48. Next came the 900-ton ships the Elizabeth Jonas, White Bear, and St. Andrew, the two former carrying 500 men each and 56 and 40 guns respectively, and the St. Andrew 50 guns and 400 men. The 800-ton vessels, with 400 men each, were the Ark Royal, More Honor, and Victory, of 40, 41 and 59 guns. The Due Repulse, of 500 men and 50 guns, and the Guard- land, of 300 and 45, were the 700-ton ships. The 600-tonners embraced the Eliza Bona- venture, with 47 guns and 250 men; the Mary Rose, with 39 guns and 250 men ; the | Warspite, with 29 guns and 320 men. The Lion, 60 guns; the Detiance 46; the Non- pareille, 56, and the Rainbow 28, with com plements. of 250 men each, were the 500-ton ships. Of various tonnage lower

From Newsboy to Cabinet Minister.
tion. W. H. Smith was once upon a time a London newsboy, and peddled papers and books at publie places. He at last found that the best harvest was to be gathered at | the railway stations of the great city. He grew up in stature and intel ligenee, and |made money by his itinerant system of jvending books. This enterprising young ;man became at last a bold speculator in the ‘current literature of the day, and succeeded in purchasing a monopoly right from all the railroad companies to keep book stands ‘at ithe stations. This led on to rapid fortune. large premises on the | Strand for his Look and news business, and medium in that connec- | tion throughout the British Empire as well as all over the continent. Industry, with | civility and integrity, energy and business tact, led on to fortune and a high position /in England, and the once newsboy is new the Right Hon. W. H. Smith, Secretary of War—-a Cabinet Minister and adviser of the Crown.

| Boston Markets.
Boston, Aug. 4 | Porarozs—There has been a good supply the past few days, and best stock have ruled principally at $2.25 to $2.374 per bbl. Ecus—Trade has been slow and prices are easier. Eastern extras are held at 174 to 18c, because the supply is light, but Northern and | Provincial firsts are offering freely at I6c, and | at the close it is hard to get over 15h4e. | Fisu—The jobbing trade is gradually im- | proving, but it is not large enough to materi- jally atiect the market for round lots. The fares of mackerel arriving from the North Bay are selling slowly at $4. 624 to $4.75 per bbl, | fishermen s s order. Some are held for higher | prices. The Shore catch continues small, and ,no sales are reported. There is not much de- lmand for old mackerel, and hoiders find it difficult to get any reasonable price for round ‘lots of 1885 catch. We quote nominally $4.50 | to $5.50 per bbl. Codfish have been in mod- {erate demand, with sales of pickle cured Bank ls at $2.25 to $2.50; dry Bank at $2.75 to $3; and Georges at $2 .50 to $3.00 per qtl. Canned mackerel command 95e to $1 per doz cans,
sli eee cities A New Kind of Club.
As a general thing a policeman’s club is only a solid piece of some substantial wood, but the other day a Brooklyn, N. Y., sergeant was presented with a club which he did not dare to carry. It was meant for use among the gangs. As he twisted it at the end of the leather thong it wasa neat looking stick, not easily distinguished from | the ordinary club, but if a tough took hold lof it to wrest it away, four short sharp, two edged knife blades could be thrown out on four sides of the club, to the ruination of the hand of the tough.

Peculiar Case of Lockjaw.
Mr. Augustin Langlois, a respectable farmer of Point aux Trembles, Que., while feeding his fowl] some days ago was assailed by a vicious game cock. In liftinghis hand to push the bird away, the hand got pierced by its ‘“‘spurs.” Mr. Langlois took ill the following day and died three days after- wards trom lockjaw, having in the short interval, suffered terrible agony. It took three of the neighbors to hold him at times,

Another Man Taken En.
A tale of woe comes from Burden, Kan- sas, which, if true, takes the premium over all competitors. A man, who got mad at ‘the country, and longed to sell his farm, received an offer from a Missouri man and accepted it. The Missourian offered him 17 mules for his farm, agreeing to ship the mules as soon as the deed to the farm was deposited with the mule man’s banker. Accordingly the deed was forwarded, and the purchaser looked anxiously for the mules. He did not think of the animals coming by express until he received notice | to call at the office. Upon calling he found 17 china mules—the price of his farm. He lost no time in going to see his man, but the latter had sold out and skipped.
An Editorial Predicament.
A Dakota stiles: washed the following statement:— ‘Times being rather hard we are going to take our wife to the home of our mother-in-law for a short visit, and we will give our readers a little vacation by not issuing any paper. They won’t lose much, for there is little news going just now, and we print this week an editorial on the tariff which would have appeared next week. The only thing we have had to leave out on this account is Bill Jones’ ad about a farm for sale; but that is of no consequence, as_ he hasn’t paid for it yet. Brethren, white paper is too blamed dear to fool it away when our mother-in-law will keep us a week for nothing.”
