Kent was not supposed to have the ghost | of a chance, but lost a splendid match by a very narrow shave. The scores were, Lan- | anaioe 206 and 238, and Kent 309 and 65. 'It wasa mostcurious encounter, for the ‘first four Kent wickets realized about 280 ' rons, and alt the lot were dismissed for 309, | the largest total ever scored against Lanca- \shire on the old Trafford ground. The honors of this more than respectable | score belonged entirely to Lord Harris and |Mr. R. S. Jones, and both these batsman |} played superb cricket, the former getting 118, and the latter 83. For Lancashire Mr. Hornby was at the wicket twice on Tuesday, }and his batting was of a remarkable charac- iter. He first of all scored 88 out of 200, and then when Lancashire had to follow he iscored 9}. In both these grand innings he | displayed all his old dash and fire, and he was only atthe wickets three hours and three-quarters for his combined total of 184. On the second day, Wednesday, Kent had only 126 runs to gettowin. The splendid bowling of Watson and Barlow | was backed up by magnificent fielding and excellent generalship, and, as before stated, Lancashire won by 70 runs, a result that | must have been very galling to Lord Harris and his men, who seemed to have the game | all their own way at one time, | once | ' | | ' ' | ! __o- + The Missing Link. } oe | ALLEGED DISCOVERY OF A SOUTH AMERICAN INDIAN TRIBE WITH TAILS. The existence of a tribe of Indians in Paraguay with tails is asserted apparently on good autherity. An Argentine who has an establishment in the Paraguaian mis- sions, in the district of Taeuru, Tuyu, was collected at Yuba, when his mules were at- tacked by Guayayes Indians, who fled after killing several mules. The muleteers pur- sued, firing on the Indians, one of whom, a boy of eight years, was wounded and cap. jtured. The boy was brought to Posados, ‘and excited much wonder, and some Ger- |mans photographed him, he having a tail six to eight inches long. The boy is very I but his body is not covered with hair. A brother in possession’ of Col. Roca has Iso a tail, and it is said that all the tribe re similarly adorned: es igly, a a a we —@-qD eae" | | | | Frigbtful Explosion. | THIRTY-FIVE TONS ‘ov’ dew IRON SCAT- rERED OVER WORKMEN. | A terrific explesion occoured on the }22nd, at Blast Furnace No. 5, in the | North Chicago Rolling Mills.

A., the writer had the honor to address in their hall a very respectable audience on the subject of Temperance. In the course of my remarks, 1 said that ‘‘Intemperance, which L de fine as including the illegal sale of intoxicating liquors, and their excessive use as a beverage, is an evil, so declared to be by the Word of God, as judged to be from observation, and!so proved to be by actual experience, ‘‘that this evil is becoming conspicuously prevalent in this city’ ;— ‘“‘that places where, liquors can be obtained in small quantities are more numerous than many suppose” ;— “that bar-rooms are open to the public at all times, on Sunday and _ through- out the week, as is evident from the druuk- ness on our streets” ;—*‘ that all this is in open violation of the laws of our city and-eontrary to our Christianity” ;--I said further: ‘‘that a few of our citizens had done their best to enforce the Svott Act, and had succeeded in some cases, but at present scarcely any- thing is being done” ;—*that~the evil which debases and ruins appears. now to have have full liberty, in spite of the law, the authorities, temperance societies, Y. M. ©, A., and our churches” ;—‘‘that if prompt and earnest effort is not made to check the progress of this monstrous evil, neither life nor property will be safe, and our most sacred things will be trodden under foot—a prophecy that was etrongly fulfilled last Sunday evening, by the dis- turbance in one of our city churches,caused by drunkenness.” Not one word did I say about the Stipendiary Magistrate refusing to act in prosecutions under the Scott Act, as reported in Tue Examiner. Now, Mr. Editor, my reasons for. treat- ing your readers to .this rehash, the accurateness of which can easily’be ascer- tained are, I have receivéd'a letter from a well-known gentlemen whose name for the present I shall surpress, who, 1 presume, after carefully informing himself from reliable sources as to what was said on the above occasion, makes the following state- ment: ‘‘I regret that one wearing the garb of a christian man should have taken the Sabbath for the utterances of what js simply an ignorant or wilful untruth.” ‘‘T shall endeavor in some way te prevent a re- petition of your untruthful comments.” I am your most obedient servant, Epvwarp Warman, a Ch’town, June 27. —— CURRENT NOTES. It is understood that Mr. Justice M. C. Cameron, judge of the Court of Queen’s Bench, Toronto; is to be appointed judge of the Court of Appeal, Toronto. H. R. H. the Duke of Edinburgh is ad- vocating the adoption in Europe of the American practice of annually devoting a sum of money for the breeding of sea-fish. The water of the holy well at Mecca has been found on analysis to contain 597 grains of solid matter to the gallon, and is seven times worse than the sewage of London. This explains the prevalence of cholera among pilgrims. John Teemer, who, by the decision of the judges, at the Pullman regatta, is given the best record ever made for three miles, is a native of McKeesport, Pa’, and is 18 years old. He is comparatively unknown in the sporting world, has done most of his rowing on the Monengahela river, has a powerful physique, and wag trained under Morris, ex-champion of America. Fasting AS A CuRE FoR R#EUMATISM. Dr. Tanner’s heresy may yet become the creed of regular practice. Tanner claimed that fasting was a good hygienic cure for many forms of blood disease, and now Dr. Wood, of the medical department of Bishop's college, Montreal, reports fasting as a cure foracute rheumatism. Plenty of water or lemonade was allowed but no medicine was given, and from the good results obtained in fasting from four to ten days Dr. Wood is inclined to believe that rheumatism is only a phase of indigestion. Tue Pisro. —A lively scene was enacted on the suspension bridge on Sunday last at St. John, N. B. Some roughs who were crossing the bridge threw a stone at a colored mana short distance ahead of them. The colored man threatened to fire upon them if they repeated the operation. Another stone wag thrown and the negro man was followed by the crowd, Instead of keeping to the road, the negro took to the fields and got into a boat near the river. ‘Safe in the boat he fired four shots at the crowd on the bridge. Two shots were also fired from the bridge. No arrests. Were it not for the many sad facts brought out ip evidence before the High- land Crofters Commission one could enjoy a hearty laugh at the expense of some of the witnesses. One man_ bursting with indignation as he poured out an intermin- able list of alleged grievances and hardships, declared that he would not be trampled upon by any human worm, and expressed the hope that the Commissioner would make the landlords jump. Another man in answer to a question about the summing of his croft, said he had not a cow unless it was a few hens; while another admitted having a horse, but added that it was dead. A western wiseacre has come to the con- clusion that the performance by Sir Charles Tupger, without salary, of the duties of High Commissioner for Canada vacates his seat in Parliament. The notion is almost too ridiculous for the serious notice of any- body. Tosay that a member of the Goy- ernment cannot perform the duties which appertain to the Government without re- signing his seat in the Cabinet is to utter pure and unadulterated nonsense. If Sir Charles Tupper cannot visit England and promote the interests of Canada there and yet hold his seat in Parliament, Sir Richard | a general favorite here !” | in their anxiety to create a pleasant sur- | prise for the Prince, had practised a little | | piece of deception a la Potemkin. As the | | whole company possessed only one portrait | of the Princess, they contrived to make it | | to do culy in each of the rooms in turn. | As soon as Prince Frederick William’s hack | was tuiued, while speaking with one of the | soldier, the picture was taken down, | | cagried into the next room, and hung over | the table of the corporal. — Berliner Tagblatt - But the soldiers, | Cartwright should have resigned his seat | before he went to England to negotiate loans. The law states that, ‘‘If any mem- ber of the House of Commons accepts any oitice or commission for which money is paid, or to be paid, the seat of such member shail thereby be vacated, and his election shall thenceforth be null and void.” Charles Tupper has not accepted an office or commission for which money is paid, or to os paid.
