HE place toget your Printing done is at
Still Another Ba-a.
The Deacon had a little sheep Whose name it was ‘J. G.,
And when the shepherd left his fold The sheep made poetree.
Cuorus— Ba-a-a Ba-a-a Ba-a-a
"Tis joy indeed to see a sheep, ’Mid poets take its stand, And, lifting up its noble voice,
** Ba-a” forth to all the land. —Cuo,
A couple other clever sheep Began their bleating, too,
Until the papers tecmed with strains, Showing what sheep can do, -—Cuo,
The first sheep baa ed a mournful ba-a, That almost drew our tears—
He bleated forth in doleful strains The shepherd’s toil for years. —Cno,
‘This sheep stood in the broken field, W hence all but he had fled ;
He thought of all the Deacon’s love — He wept and lost his head. —Cuo,
Gone is now the faithful pastor He remembers long ago,
With his sheep a baa-ing round him Way up there in Rustico. —CuH».
Oh J. G., publish forth your name, And win the poet’s laurel crown ; To see it on your sheepish brow Would call forth cheers from all the town. —CHo,
% * *
Next a clever young sheep came out of the west;
Through all the wide Island his ba-a was the best.
He stopped not for rhyme, nor he stayed not for sense,
But made up more lines at ‘other sheep’s ex pense.- -Ci0.
Hurrah! hurrah ! for Rustico, This sheep so fresh and green;
Hurrah ! hurrah ! for great ‘‘ Quid Nunc,” Such a sheep was never seen. —CHORUS.
When can “ Quid Nune’s” glory fade ! Oh! the wild lines he made- All the Island wondered. Honor the efforts he mae, Honor the tribute paid, To his noble pastor. —Cronvs.
Hark ! hark ! my soul angelic ba-a’s are swelling
O’er Rustico’s green fields and wave beaten
shore, How sweet the tale those blessed sheep are telling,
Of him whoze face they'll see no more.— CHORUS. I'm the lost little sheepy
Left bleating alone,
For all my companions Are shut up and gone. —Crorves.
There is a happy land Far, far away, Where all these sheep may ba-a-ing stand At some far distant day.—Cuoruws. A SHEEP FROM THE OTHER FoLp.

The Henley Regatta.
AMERICAN CREWS PARTIALLY SUCCESSFUL,
Lonpon, July 5.—Uenley never saw a lovelier day than yesterday for a regatta. The meadows on both sides of the Thames were filled with people ; the bridge was blocked with drays and carriages, while the river swarmed with craft of every descrip- tion. The race for the Diamond Sculls be- tween George W. Lee, of the Trenton Club of Newark, N. J., and Edward Moss, pres- ent holder of the prize, the first in which the Americans were interested, was an ex- citing race, and Lee had the best of it, when suddenly when within twenty feet from the finish he stopped still, half a length ahead, and at the same time his right var struck the shore. He thought he had passed the winning post. Two more strokes would have landed him safely a winner, but Moss continuing his course won by less than a quarter of a length. Both men were in great distress. Lee was ill before and after the race. ‘Time, 9 minutes.
The next was first trial heat for Steward’s Challenge Cup between Columbia (U. 8.), Dublin University, and the Shoe-wae-cae— mettes, the latter winning in 8 minntes and 21 seconds.
The first heat for Visitors Challenge Cup followed the University crew, Columbia and Jesus Colleges competing. Columbia won by two lengths in 8 minutes and 17 seconds. Oxford a bad third.
The second trial heat for the same was won by Hertford College crew, Oxford, in 9 ainutes 12 seconds, the first Trinity of Cambridge being ‘‘scratched.”’
London Rowing Club won in second trial heat for Steward’s cup, in 8 minutes and 3 seconds, the Jesus College crew not row- ing.
In second heat for diamond sculls, Geo. Lee of Boston, who is, in fact, a member of the London Rowing Club, gave out before he had rowed half the course. Loandes of Oxford came in first, and Payhe of Mousley
| second.
Lonpon, July 5.—At the Henley races to-day the Columbia College crew won the fina! heat in the Visitor's College Cup, Hertford College crew of Oxford running into the banks. Columbia won by half a mile. They easily held their own from the start, and were heartily cheered. Time, 8m. 41s.
The Shoe-wae-eae-mettes were beaten in the first heat for Steward’s Chalienge Cup. One of their number was taken sick in the morning and broke down. He was sick in the boat while the heat was being rowed,

The St. John Press. The Moncton ‘‘ Times” thus aptly de- scribes the position of the St. John Press :
‘*To illustrate the position of the St. John Press in a few words :—Ilere are four daily papers all drawing large amounts from the public treasury by the iavor of the Govern- ment. Abroad, the Government’s partizans say: ‘Behold what unanimity of public senti- ment in St. John, where all the papers arevan one side!’ Then the four dailies turn round and say : ‘ Behold what a strong Government we have, since itis going to be sustained at the polls!’ Is not this wonderful testimony to be given by the members of this Mutual Admiration Society! How long would such testimony stand the test of cross-examination ? And how long are the people of the Province going to be humbugged by such transparent sham? Is it from sach a quarter that we are to accept as Gospel the statement that the Old Liberals are rallying to the support of Mr. McKenzie’s Government, and that Mr. Tilley is unworthy of the support of the intel- ligent and unpurchasable Liberals of the Prov- ince to which he has readered such signal service?”
sie Shiiilly daibepasdaal Wages and Cost of Living in Scotland.
The Consul at Dundee sends to the State Department, U. S., full schedules of wages and prices of food for the last five years, in answer to the labor circulars of April 11. Wages have increased in that time from 5 to15 per cent; fifty-one hours makes a week’s work in the building trades. Brick- layers and plasterers now receive 20 cents an hour; plumbers, masons and slaters, 16 to 17 cents; painters and carpenters, 15
cents; and common laborers on build- ing work, 12 or 13 cents. Stone
carvers are paid 24 cents. The weekly pay ranges from $6, $12 to $12.24. Engine and machine work artisans receive from $4 to $8 weekly, while the various manufac- turing tradesmen get from $3.50 to $8.50, according to trade and skill. Women get from $2 to $2.25 for a week’s work of fifty- one-hours. Railway engineers, passenger and freight trains, are paid from $8.50 to $10 per week of sixty hours; stokers from $7.75 to $5.25, and porters from $4 to $4.50. The industry of Dundee is mainly the manufacture of tle jute. The men are paid from $1.50 to $7.50; the women from $3 to $4.25 per week of fifty six hours. Bread costs 15 cents for a four pound loaf; flour and oatmeal, 4 cents a pound; milk, 8 cents a quart; potatoes, 38 cents for 28 pounds; meat, 16 cents to 24 cents a pound; eggs, 30 cents a dozen; and other articles in proportion. A suit of serviceable Scotch tweed costs $17. The rent of a two-roomed house is $48 yearly; of a three-roomed house, $72; of a four-roomed house, $95, and soon. The trade of the district is in a most distressed condition, and the jute mills have ceased to be profitable.

The $12,600 robbery at the Assistant Receiver-General’s office, Toronto, 1s occu- pying the sole attention of the detectives. The authorities have not gained any clue to the robbery. They complain that, in giving the number of dollar bills, the Re- ceiver’s oflicer was wrong, and also that the report of the robbery was not made to the police until an hour after the felony had been discovered, by which time the thieves had ample opportunity to escape by train or boat.
