There is a general belief in that section that the murder of Judge Estopinal was the carry- ing out of a preconceived plot. The jadge had been very strict in his rulings when the negro tough element of the parish were brought before him.

More than 1,000 persons attended the mass meeting held in Limerick on the 17th inst. Wm. Redmond and Pierce Mahoney made sddresses in favor of the release of Irish political prisoners. The meeting passed resolutions censuring Home Secretary Asquith because he op- posed the liberation of these prisoners and denouncing the Liberal party for having abandoned its promises to do them justice. Mr. Gladstone was alse blamed for his apathy in the cases of Irish political prisoners and his alleged indifference to their fate was contrasted to the sympathy he manifested toward the oppressed in foreign countries. No anti-Parnellites attended the meeting.

Jamestown, N. Y., Sept. 16—A_ whole family has been exterminated Ly kissing the bride at a wedding a fortnight ago in the town of Kiantone. The girl who was made wife kissed the entire family, con- sisting of father, mother and two chil- dren, and al] are dead. Many of the guests are now ill with diphtheria which they caught at the wedding.

Miss Aitken, the bride, complained of a

sore throat on her wedding day, but nothing was thoughtof it and she was

married. The nextday her sore throat developed inte diphtieria. Among the guests at the wedding were Ransom Bratt, his wife and two children. They all kissed the bride. A few days later the Bratt children were taken ill with diph- theria and died. Then Mrs. Bratt was taken sick and she, too, after a long ill- ness, died. Mr. Bratt was the last to fall a victim to the disease and he died and was buried yesterday.

FROM CANADA TO THE “GULF.

Gigantic Waterway Proposed by the Unien of Two Rivers,

Sr. Pact, Minn., Sept. 18.—A waterway from the Gulfor Mexico to Hudson’s Bay ! It iooks like a wild dream, but it is by no means impossible. Congressmen Me- Cleary and Boen, of Minnesota, have been in conference with the engineers of the War Department for several days, and while no promises of a definite character are held out, it is admitted that the thing is practicable. The promoters of the plan, including men of wealth along the Missis- sippi River and in the Dominion of Can- ada, have no doubt that, were the work accomplished, the cost of transporting merchandize to the Atlantic seaboard would be reduced to a minimum. To carry out the scheme it would be necessary in the first place to connect the Red River of the North with the Minnesota and then improve the navigation of the latter for

some miles between Mendota, where it strikes the Mississippi, and Big Stone

Lake, where it finds its source.

——> - o_o The Corruption of Language.

St. John Sun:—Mr. J Hunter Duvar, writing in the Toronto Week, contends that the general use of slip-slop ianguage and the sliding from gatterals into labials, is an indication of the decay of a nation. He claims that no nation was ever capable of great decds without gutterals in its tongue, and believes that the Romans would never have conquered the world had they spoken as the people of Naples do now. The use of slang on this continent indicates to Mr. Duvar that the American wind is arriving at « stage of degradation such s3 oné cannot conceive to haye exist- ed among the Romans in their early and better days, ,

This is a painful theme. But it is en- couraging to remember that we have on the continent a few thousand whose lan- guaye has not become thus debased. In the very front rank of this saying remnant is Mr. J. Hunter Duvar himeelf, who in prose and yerse, exhibits to the reader the English langnage free from impurity and infirmity of any kind. The more positive commendation might be given that he writes English language with vigor and precision, and with a great measure of the grace and stateliness of the maswrs, nor yet without a certain charm of expression and melody of utterance. Few Canadian authors have better earned the right to walk as mourner Lehind the hearse of the English tongue when it shall bave passed away, than Mr. J. Hunter Davar, of Prince Edward Island.
