THE LIKE-K113 CLUB. At the opening of the meetln Brother Gardner announced that the on. pboou Williams, of Hamilton, was in the anteroom and would address the meet- ing. The honorable gentleman was thir- teen risys footing it from Haman to Detroit, and reached here in a very ex~ hausted condition. When brought into the hall by the Reception Committee be was shaky in the left leg, n-arslghted in both eyes, and the most casual observer could see that his spinal column was as much out of plumb as the leaning towerof Pisa. The subject of his few remarks was announceuas: “ Am OurCup Full 3" The orator took the and that it wasn‘t. He was continua y Overhearlng people remark that their burdens were almost unbearable, and that life could produce no further sorrow for them. Other peo- ple were constantly declaring that they had no longer any confidence is human nature, and didn't care how con they were laid away to rest under the drooping yew~yew tree. No human cup was evenhalf full. Peo- ple had lost money, friends, positionâ€" ple were poor and sickâ€"people were being vilified and slandered, but all these trials had their sunny side and were soon over. The feelings of a candidate for Governor who gets left are supponed to be intense, but they can not be compar- ed to the feeling: of a man who gets out of bed In the morning to find forty-eight head of cabbage gone w ith a spotted cow. The loss of fortune seems a terrible blow, but it isn’t so bad when you come to look into the matter. Itsimply means going afoot instead of prancing around on the street carsâ€"eating more ccdfish and less beefâ€"wearing old clothes out instead of giving them away to glass peddlers. Poverty seems a misfortune, but yet the poor man needn't have his hair cut orhls hotogrsph taken, and no one ex- pects im to give high teas or rent a box in the postr tiles. The orator drank three pints of water, a ks for thirteen minutes and upset ob Ingersoll, Plato, Dicgenes, Henry Ward Beecher, Paradise Lost and the King of the Sandwich Islands. When he made his retreat it was noticed that his dress coal: was made to also answer for a shirt, and for this or some other reason he was enthusiastically applauded. com: T0 orrsws.

Is in the Santa Rosa mountains of Chihua- hua, Mexico, an almost inaccessible re- gion surrounded by arid deserts and in- fected by rattlesnakss and hostile Indians. Fabulous reports of wealth,however, have started the usual caravans of adventurous men to the locality from Eagle Pass, New Mexico. In the Journal des Debate M. de Par ville says he was present at the birth of the “microbe,” and that “it came into existence in the hall of the academic des Sciences one Monday in February, at 4:30in the afternoon." This is perhaps the only case on record in which the In- troduction of a new word has been accur- ately timed. Seven weeks before his death, Gordon sent from Khartoum, inclosing a well-ex- ecuted decoration, this letter in Arabic to his old friend and patron, Ismail : “To His Highness the august Ismail Pa- cha, ex-Khedive of Egypt!

Rude drawings are seen on the walls of Thebes (B. C. 1405) of shoemakcrs per- forming their iaeks, showing the trade to be extremely ancient as well as eminently respectable; and we read in Homer of princes manufacturing their own shoes. They have been made of various materials â€"hidcs, flax, silk, cloth, wood, iron, sil- ver and goldâ€"and In great variety of shape, plain and ornamental. Among the Jews they were made of leather, linen and wood. Soldiers made them out of brass and iron, tied with thongs. To put off the shoes was an act of veneration The Aeiatics and Egyptians wore show made out of the bark of the papyrus. Among the Greeks the shoe generally reaches the mid-19g, like that we now call “boots.” Ladies, as a mark of distinction, wore sandalsâ€"u sort of loose shoe trime- thing like the modern slipper. The Roman shoes were of two kindsâ€" w- 'n The orchurd, the mcudovvwlhc deep. tangled calcam’ WhICh cm‘red tho WhOIe fooh’ and souls, which covered only the solo, and was fastened with thongs. Ladies of rank wore white and sometimes red shoes ; other women wore black. In the ninth and tenth centuries the greatest prince of Europe were wooden shoes or wooden soles instead fastened vv’l’h leather thongs. In the eleventh century the upper part of the shoe was made of leather and the sole of wood. The Saxons wore shoes, or such, with thongs. In the year 1090, in the reiun of Wil- liam Rufus, the great dandy Robert was called “ the hornet,” because he wore shoes with long points, stuffed, turned up and twisted like horns. Shoes of this kind became fashionable, and the toes continued to increase in length. until in the time of Richard II., in 1390, they had attained such an enor- mous extent vs to be fastened to the gar- ter by a chain of silver or gold. The clergy declared vehemently against this extravagance ; but the fashion continued, even for several centuries. In the year 1463 Parliament passed an actprohibiting shoes with pikesmore than two inches in length, under penalty to maker and wearer, and there who did not comply were declared excommunicated. Even at a late period shccs were twice the 'he length of the foot, or so long as to “prevent them from kneeling in devotion at God’s house." Shoes in their present form came into use in the year 1633. -â€"â€"â€"fl*. Private vs. Public Advertising. The newspaper is, in every sense, the best medium for advertising ; and, for a given result, it is by far the cheapest also. it reachesa far greater number of pos- sible customers than any privateannounoe. ment can ; and it is more certain to receive attention. The private circular is thrown aside as a thing of which people have come to regard as a bore, and which is neglected because its recipients have no time to attend to it. The newspaper is used in each day's hour of leisure, and readers find interest in reading its adver- tisements as well as its news, because of the varzcty they present and the inform- ation they convey mspcctinga wide diver- sity of interests. It may be safely esti- mated that an announcement made through the press is noticed by fifty road- ers. where, made in a private way, it would reach but one. If, therefore, the same amoun: were expanded in either case, the result would be fifty fold better from the former methodzhan from the ist- ter. There are undoubtedly cues in which the circular is a better medium than the uewspapcr. But such cases are quite sx~i c ‘ptional, and the sooner advertisers ' learn the fully of their present large ex i penditures in seeking publicity through private means. the better for their packets and their success. - Il’he Congo River. The magnitude of the Congo is pro- bany second onl totha‘. of the Nile. We say "probsb y," because its upper course and need-waters still remain unex~ plored. When first seen by Stanley as Lualaba. more than one thousand five hundred miles from the see, it impressed him with its aspect ofa great continental stream. There are ailiutnts, too, extenâ€" ding on both sides far into the interior, and probably capable of at least partial navigation, which seem, in the passing glimpses that have been caught. at them, scarcely inferior in size to the main river. Untold wealth lies hidden in the prim- eval forests which come down on either hand of the brink, and in the game coun- tries which in other parts stretch along its course. It must n- t, however, be sup- posed that, like the )Iisalssipplor the St. Lawrence, it is open for vesssls from the sea along any considerable portion of its course. About one hundred and twenty miles from its month are the Yellala Falls its earliest and greatest rapids. Between these and Stanley Pool, above which there is open water for many hundreds of miles, are numerous rapids, cataracts, or falls, all impeding progress, most of them reu- dering it impossible. In this intervening region, and, indeed, occasionally else- where, the path of the great river is most varied. N at onlyis it tortuous, but some- times, it expands for miles, and seems to be, not a river, but a vast islandstrewn lagoon, in which it is difficult to decide which shore isactually the bank of the stream itself. In other places it is nar- row and Impetuous, asst Vivi, just below the Yellala Falls, where is situated Stan- ley's first riverfne station. There the current, but five hundred yards wide, is with good reason supposed to be ninety fathoms deep, and attains, during the rainy season, a speed of nine miles an hour,â€"a greater depth than the world- famed rapids of Niagara, with an almost equal velocity. It is these physical diili~ culties which constitute the great hinder- ance to a rapid and widespread develop- ment of trade. “The River Congo,” says Stanley, “has acourse of twenty-nine hundred miles, from the Chibals range, south- south-east of Lake Tanganyika, or Banana Point on the south-west coast of Africa. Close to the twelfth parallel of south lat- itude, across eighteen degrees of long- itude, there runs an elevated ridge, of from six thousand to nine thousand feet high,â€"â€"at one part narrowed by a moun- tain range, at another expanded into a table-land. This is the dividing line be- tween the Zambesi and Congo basins. Out of the furrows, recesses, and folds of its slopes, issue the s.reams flowing in opposite directlons,â€"northward into the Gonzo, southward into the Zamboni. Near the parallel of four degrees north latitude, you must look for the dividing line of the waters of the Bhar-cl Ghaze and Shari, which flow north, and those which flew southward into the Congo. Draw a line north and south about the the meridian of sixteen degrees cast long- itude, from four degrees north ta twelve degrees south latitude; and a slightly diagonal line from four degrees north to twelve degrees south, running from the meridian of thirty degrees east to thirty- two degrees east longitude ; and, within this vast compact area, you have the ba- sin of the Congo. Its greatest length is a line drawn from south-east to northwest fourteen hundred miles, by twelve hun- dred, its greatest breadth. The number of English square miles that this area con. tains is one million three hundred thou- sand. â€"â€"â€"-¢ 004- bookâ€"- The Princess of Colonmt’s Origin The story of the life of Eva Bryant Mackay, who recently became, by mar- riage with a titled Italian, the Princess of Uolonua, brings to light some strange things. Tom Jordan, one of those char- acteristic ’496ra, who, in the days of Miss Mackay’s poverty, mined In Sierra Omnty, California, and one of the gold- pocket hunters whom Mark Twain so graphically describes, said in a recent in- tervlcw: “ Miss Hungcrford, Miss Mackey'a mother, when I first knew her, in 1855, was a very pretty little girl of only twelve years, who lived at Goodyear’s Bar with her widowed father, Maj or Hunger- ford. He was a Louisiana creole, and spoke French and Spanish fluently, as did also the child. Miss Hungerford grew prettier as she became older, and at length became the acknowledged belle of the mining town. Offers of marriage from wealthy miners, store-keepers, law- yers, and men of other callings were re- fused, until one day the girl met Dr. Bryant, a dashing young man of twenty. six, from the neighboring camp of Down- icsvillc. It was a case of mutual love at first sight. In less than a year they were married. Ayrar later the doctor died from bload poisoning, contracted while making an autopsy in the case of a young woman said to have been poisoned. “Meantime Eva Bryant was born. Dr. Bryant, who had followed the West- ern way of living, left his young wife and child in very stringent circumstances, and a purse of 8700 was subscribed for them, and Mrs. Bryant took up her res- ‘ idence at Virginia City, then in the hey- day of its prosperity. There she met John W. Macksy, who became the wealth- iest of all the bonanza kings. “ It's strange. isn't it, that little Miss Hungerford, who used to trot about bare- footed among the rough miners of Good- year's bar, is now the leading and wealth- iest American lady in Paris, and the fatherless sud destitute baby, Eva, is the Princess of Calcutta? And I, a contem- porary, who saw it all, and beheld a thou- sand others go up on the wings of wealth, am a busted miner, eking out my liveli~ hood in the sagebrush deserts of Umatilla County." “‘0‘- SI'IIIMER SIMIIERINGS.

It states the ease briefly and clearly, though indicating a slight leaning towards the rebel muse :â€" In order to understand the causes of the rebellion that has recently been tak- ing place in the Nothwestern Territory (f Canada, it is necessary to go back sixteen P0P years, to another revolt against the Can- adian Government. Prior to 1509 the vast region northwest of the Province of Ontario was owned by the Hudson's Bay Company. But in ac- cordance with the pulley of the British Government to bring all the North Amer- ican possessions of Great Britain into a single confederation, the whole of this territory, comprising some two hundred and fifty million acres, was bought, for a sum of three hundred thousand pounds sterling. The Hudson's Bay Company retained only about fifty thousand acres near its trading posts, ceased to exercise civil authority over the territory, and retained only the character of a fur-trading com- pany. The transfer of the territory to the Dominion of Canada was to take place on the first of December, 1869. But in all this the wishes of the settlers had not been consulted. There were few white men in the Territoy, which was sparsely inhabited by Indians and half- breeds. French-Canadians had gone West on trapping expeditions, had married Indian women, and settled down on the banks of the Red RIVer. Whoever has been through the province of Quebec must have noticed the peculiar division of the land there. Each lot fronts on the road, and runs back from it in a long, narrow strip. The Western settlers adopted the same system. Each “ rquat- ter" had a frontage on the river, and his farm was let g and narrow. Before the time for the transfer of the Hudson's Bay Company’s Territory to Canada, surveyors were sent thither to lay out the country in square blocks. As the surveyors were proceeding with their work one morning, Louis Riel, then an energetic and an educated young half- breed, thirty years old, ordered them to 089.5; A collision took place, the huff-breeds History repeats itself.

The bah-breeds and Indians made their demands. They objected to be governed by a. man sent out from Ottawa, and re- quired that they should be allowed to govern themselves and to have represent- atives in the Canadian Parliament. They insisted that each settler should be allow- ed to take up two hundred and forty acres of land. and that lots might be laid out as in Quebec. To all these and other conditions the Canadian Parliament assented, in an act) to organize the province of Manitoba, passed in May, 1870. The Roman Catio- lic archbishop pacified the people, and induced them to accept the change of rulers. Accordingly when Colonel Wol- selcy, now (‘icuerai Lord Wolseley, appear ed before Fort Garry, he met with no 0;- position. Riel was clec‘ud a member of the Can- aéian Parliament, and although he was thrcstcmd with violence if he t(ok his seat, on account of his having been the lender and the brains (.f the rebellion, he approved at Ottawa, and took his place in the House. But he immediately retired, was expelled, by vote of the House of Commons, and for many years thereafter lived in the United States. We have given the history of the first rebellion at some longih because the re- uint revolt had similar causes, and the same leader.

What they askâ€"what Riel has been asking for them, and what they have been fighting to obtainâ€"is what the Fort Garry rebellion of 1869 and 1870 secured for the now prosperous province of Manitoba. But after a gallantldefence and two drawn battles with the Canadian troops under General Middleto i, they were defeated. Riel was captured and the rebellion was supresscd. .._.__...__.â€"9 o. O An American Political Job. Immense inconvenience is at present being caused to all passengers arriving at New York by a disreputable job perpe- trated in the interests of the Republican party. Although there are splendid quays at which the largest steamers can lie alongside and disembark passengers and luggage, an ordinance was passed that all vessels arriving should be obliged to disembark their passengers and luggage in small steamers, the contract being given, of course, to apolitical supporter, although another company offered to supply the steamers on lower terms. The conse- qtlence is that instead of landing comfort- aoly from the steamers (.n the warves, all the passengersare obliged to transfer them- selves and their baggage to dirty little tugs, where they are huddled together on the deck, and without shelter in case of wet. For this gratuitous annoyance they are obliged to pay the sum of sixty-five cents, or rather more than half a Crown, for each artlclo of baggage. Truly the Amerimns are the most long-suffering of people, for in no country in the chute old continent would the authorities venture to carry out such an uncalled-for inter- ference with the liberty of trade. ee <v->u-â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€" She-It is really wonderful to see how well the men keep step. fieâ€"Bah, that is nothing 1 When i was a soldierI used to keep step better than all the rest put to. nether.

The experience of the manufacturers of the “ Myrtle Navy" tobacco is a. valuable lesson in political economy. Previous to their commencing that brand, the tobacco made of the finest Virginia leaf was always held at fancy prices, and put up in some fancy style of manufacture It was thought that only the rich would buy such tobacco, and at the old prices none but the rich could buy it. The makers of the “ )1) rtle Navy " resolved to strip the manufacture of the tobacco of all its fancy coats and put their profit at so low a rate that no com- petitor could possibly undersell them with the same quality of article. From the very first until now their rate of profit has been a uniform percentage upon the cost. it 3 their enormous sales which make their low rate of profit a satisfactory one in the aggre- gate, and also gives them their firm hold run SAisi-ii. 50,0C0 nan-s of improved and unimproved farming Iamia. send for our Real Estate JourrIAI.

Out of {1000 tlsnts treated duringaths past six men ly ninety per cent. ya been cured at this stubborn malady. This Is nour- tbe less startling when it is remembered that not five per cent. of the patients presenting themselves to the regular practitioner are benefltted. while the patent medicines and other advertised cures never record a cure st all. Starting with the claim now generally be lieved by the moat scientific men that the disease Is due to the presence a! living parasites in the tissues. Mr. Dix- ou at once adapted his cure to their extermination : this accomplished the catsrrh is practically cured, and the permanency Is un- questioned. as cures effected b him four years ago are cures still. No one else has ever at- tempted to cure cstarrh in this manner. and no other treatment has ever cured catarrh. The application of the remedy is simple anucan be done at home. and the scent season of the year is the most favors Is for a speedy and permanent cure. the malorit of assoc being cured at one treatment.
