SupposeD TO Have CoME TO CANADA.— The provincial police have been advised by the savings bank of Sioux City, Iowa, to look out for an unknown party who secured from them several thousand dollars by fraud, and for whom a reward of $1,000 is offered. He is described as about 60 years of age, with gray hair and full beard, both streaked with red ; about 5 feet 10 inchesin height ; weight ‘about 175 pounds, and an innocent face and manner, well calculated to deceive.

ADVICE To MoTHERS.— Mrs, Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain; and the little cherub awakes as “‘bright asa button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best knowngremedy for diarrhea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Twenty-five cents a bottle. Be sure and ask for Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Svrup. and ta ke na other kind fAnri] } 'R8

On Sunday he lectured at the | Union Square theatre under the supervi- {sion of A. Miner Griswold, of Texas Sift- jings. Before going on the stage, he suck- ;ed an orange and drank coffee so that he imight stand squarely on his legs. Mr. j Train remains tirm in his determination to outfast Dr. Tanner.

Canadian Railway Statistics.

Not a bad showing for a poor ruined country, weighed down by a National Policy ?

The Halifax Herald remarks that in the past ten years we have placed 6,000 additional miles of railroad in operation. Our train mileage has increased by no less than 18,000,000 miles. We now carry 5,000,000 more passengers annually than we did ten years ago. We carry 10,000,000 tons more of railway freight than ten years ago. Our annual railway earnings have increased by $22,000,000 in ten years, while working expenses have only increased by $14,000,000.

The Parnell Commission.

THE IRISH LEADER STILL IN THE WITNESS BOX.

Mr. Parnell’s cross-examination was re- sumed on the 7th. He said he had not heard of 100 guineas being paid for the de- fence of moonlighters at the Cork assizes in 1881. If he had been asked to make such payments he should in those days have ap- proved of them if he had reason to believe the law was being strained against a man, but his general rule was to limit such pay- ments as much as possible. He remem- bered one case in which he sanctioned the payment of money for the defence of a prisoner, the mai was acquitted. Parnell declared that the majority of the members of the physical force party were utter strangers to him. Referring to his speeches made in America, as reported in the Irish World, witness said he could not accept the reports as correct. Ford garbled his speeches to suit the taste of the readers of the Irish World. He never made this statement publicly before. He considered that a person who joined the league and continued a member of the Clan-na-Gael was an injury to the league’s policy. Any member of the league who advocated the use of dynamite would be a traitor.

Canadian vs. United States Rail- ways.

The Monetary Times remarks that Ameri- can railways, being hampered by Congress in their freedom of competition, are re- sulved that, if possible, Canadian rivals which do an international business shal! have no advantage over them. In this en- terprise Congress and the Interstate Com- mission are ready to give them willing aid. Of this fact the proceedings against the Grand Trunk afford proof. A committee of the United States Senate has resolved to enquire whether American traftic is done by Canadian lines, with a view to restrictive legislation, under cover of doing something ‘for the protecticn of the commercial in- terests of the United States.” ‘* Protec- tion to these interests,” the New York Commercial Bulletin truly says, ‘* can really be afforded by the freest competition and insuring the cheapest transportation, and in no other way.” And it adds that though restrictions which place American railways at a disadvantage ought certainly to be removed, ‘*‘the effort to contro! the transportation system of Canada by rates equally arbitrary must necessarily fail,” while ** the proposition to cut off Canadian competition is intolerable.” Nevertheless there is reason to fear that our roads may be greatly hampered by vbstacles which Congress may be able to throw in their way. The one thing in their favor is, as the Bulletin states, that ‘‘the faeilities afforded by Canadian carriers have become an important element in the commerce of this (U. 8S.) country, and the movement for the discouragement of this service calls for the determined oppositon of the repre- sentatives of commercial intersets.” Will that opposition be exerted, and if so, will it be successful ?

Lower Montague Notes. The farmers around here are beginning spring work. We had a visit a short time ago from a Mr. Kay, who had for sale a compound calculated to rot vegetable matter, etc., in avery shorttime. His object was to form a club of farmers who would buy his pro- cess. He consented to give his compound a trial, and, if satisfactory, purchase. W. A. Poole, Esq., merchant, is away on a businessjtrip to Shediac, N. B.

Stitt ALIveE. cninnnentaisemiai A Great and Fast Passenger Steamer.

The first trip of the new passenger steamer Puritan, of the Fall River Line, from New York to Newport, via Long island Sound, was made April 24, with much success. She attained a speed of over 20 miles an hour with 65 pounds steam. When her new machinery is worked down and full power applied, which is 110 pounds, it is believed she will surpass in velocity any passenger boat afloat. Equal to emergency—‘* Did you bring a field glass with you?’ ‘* Never thought of that; but we can drink out of the flask.” lf you want to buy a good suit for your boy at a low price try James Paton & Co's.

About He-ses.

Mr. Hickman, of Dorchester, N. B., has sent two imported young Shire mares © Charlottetown to be bred to Mr. Tweedy’s Shire horse ** Honest Lincoln.”’

The latest California wonder in the racing line is a two-year-old called Gladstone, that recently ran half-mile heats in 4*4, 484.

The latest purchase by J. H. Shults, the millionaire New York breeder of trotters, is that of t! ven-year-old mare Lizette, for $4,000. ‘Liis mare trotted a mile last season in 2.27, and about ten days ago was driven to the Parkville track for the first time this season, and a!‘ first time of asking stepped a quarte) in 3 onds. Mr, Shults was an interested spectator of the performance, and gave the above mentioned price for Lizette on the strength of it. This mare is a_trotting- bred one on both sides, her sire being the old time campaigner Voltaire, 2.204, and her dam the famous litter trotter Susie, 2.21, by Hampshire. It is understood that a _ better record than 2.30 will be given Lizette, after which she wil] join the ranks of the brood mares at Shults farm.

Capucine, the fastest French-bred trotter, and one that cau yo a distance with the best of them, defeated the American trotter Misty Morning a tew weeks ago in a three-miie dash, the rate being about 2.42 to the mile. Of course this does not look like a creditable performance for a young and well-bred mare that made a record of 2.21 in 1587, as was the case with Misty Morning ; but it should be remembered that in France the races are trotted over a rough course, sometimes little better than a ploughed field, and that in the present instance it was unusually bad on account of the fact that a detachment of artillery had been drilling on it the previous day. It seems strange to read about trotting races under such conditions, but the French have never been able to secure a good track for their trotters, although they are fond of the sport.

nae aillpie lM anenatanis The Value of Public Schools.

New York Tribune says: No country in the world can show a prouder spectacle than our free school system, or one more pregnant with hopfulness for the future of liberty. Almost everywhere throughout the country the common schools bore a conspicuous part in the celebration. The national songs were sung ; the grand events of the period, the close of which is now commemorated, were recited ; and the lesson ot patrotism were in- installed into iiundreds of thousands of youth- ful hearts. In Chicago, the hotbed of import- ed anarchy, our flag floated for the first time over avery schoolhouse. The common school system is a great engine, not only for the diff- usion of intelligence, but for the infusion of patriotism. The seeds had been sown long before Washington was born ; but asa defined system it has grown up almost entirely since he died, This is one large item to be re- membered in the count for progress,

A New Aliment From Wheat. *

According to Le Genie Civil, Dr. Dujardin- Beaumetz recently exhibited at the Paris Academy of Medicine a new alimentry sub- stance—*' fromentine”’—which is obtained from wheat by the aid of special millstones. Fromentine is the embryo of wheat redue- ed to flour and deprived of the oil which it contains. The substance contains three times more nitrogenous substance than meat, and a strong proportion of sugar. Thus, the amount of nitrogenous matter in it is 51 per cent., while that of the richest meat, wutton, is but 21 per cent., and the proportion of digestible substance reaches 87 per cent. of the total weight. Hence it would appear that it might advantageously replace powdered meat as a concentrated food. It can be used for making soups, and even for making biscuitc, the taste of which would nct be disagreeable.

The wheat germs employed are a_ by- product in the Schwietzer process of manu- facturing a flour which can be kept fora long time without deteriorating. a a es Fwo ofa Kind.

( Special to the St. John Suu, ) Frepericron, May 7.— Hattie Richard- son, 4 girl of about 14 or 15 years of age, arrived here from St. Stephen the early part of last week, to be placed under the treatment of Miss Whitlock, the Christian scientist. Her case is a curious one, and is said to have puzzled several physicians who have been consulted. About three months ag¢, the patient recovered from a fever, bu!, with the disappearance of that affec- tion came, the loss of her appetite, since when she is said not to have eaten a single morsel of food. It is certain that since her arrival she has eaten nothing. The girl is quite fleshy and seems as bright and lively as one enjoying perfect health.

(Special to the Sun.)

Ricumonp, P. Q., May 7.—A young lady named Mary Josephine Bedard, 18 years old, has been discovered by the doctors at Tingwick, near here, and who has not tak- ena mouthful of food for eight years. She is in good health, and is nothing short of a walking wonder.

Personal.

Miss Sophie M. Almon of Halifax has issued a small volume of poemsfor private circulat

ion. ‘The Halifax Herald says that these poems are such as to meet the strictest de- mands of poetic correctness, and, if we except the blank veise, exhibit a mastery of some of the most difficult forms of Engiish versifi- cation.

Cardinal Lavigerie, in a speech made at Algiers, related this conversation between himself and the Pope. The Pope said :—

** So you like the English?”

‘* Yes,” replied the (¢ ardinal, ‘*I like the English Christians, Holy Father, on account of their innate virtues, of the nobleness of their lives, and of their having retaired much more of the Roman Church than other Pro-

testants, but especially on acconnt of their sincerity ; which allows us to hope as to many of them that if we are externally separated we are internally united in the suul of the same Church. How desirable it would be to see these hopes realized !”

**] desire it as much as you.” rejoined His Holiness ; ‘‘ repeat it to your English friends

whea you have an opportunity. ’
