I even taught him to pull the whistle cord whenever I commanded. Everybody along the line knew him. \‘v'hen I’ got down to oil my wheels he would always follow zmd watch to see that no kids jumped on the locomo- tive. - “ I remember distinctly one stormy night as I was approaching Chicago. There was a tremendous tempest (HI {he lake, for I could hear the (lull roar of the waves beat upon the shore. I had to lay upon a, siding and wait, for orders to pull in over any onepf the fifty tracks that spread out near {he city. There \uLs a little telegraph station a few rods an 1w from where l. luy. Orders were confidently expected in a. few minutes, but, they did not come. My fireman and I got lonely sitting out, there in the driving min, and not even distinguithng each other’s Voices in the din. I ienwmber Tom yelling “ It’ll be a. hard time out en the lake to- night,” and then the light came from the station bobbing up and down and some one came hurrying up and gave me the written orders to proceed over the lust truck to one ofthe stations on the outskirts of the city and lay there until a special had passed. “ \Vell, the bi'ukemun got down to throw the switch, when Slide made a bee line out: of the cal) and flew an the fellow as though he lnul gone crazy, and back. \Vhy he simply tore sounds into shreds. He jumped at the fellow every time he made a move- ment for the switch ;he would crouch down and be;r and whine t< ' "hly. 11;, Charley, I won’t touch that switch,” the bmk 3' said as he walked toward me with a white face. “There’s something gone Wrong, and I know it,” he went on. A1; first I laughed, but gradually something strange came over me suddenly. I could feel the warm persphwticn trickling down my hack bone. The conductor gob impatient and yelled to us to pull out. The brakeman started back to throw the switch again, but, sir, the dog displayed the smne tactics, and even hit the hmlwmzm‘s hands. Just then there was a. sudden lull in the storm. The most moui‘nful howl I ever heard came from Lh at animal. Animportantdecision 1::‘sjustlmen 1'U;(lel‘- ed by the Supreme Court of Cunurht on the question, whether or not it is ultra \‘ires of a provincial government to pass a. law such as the following, which occurs in the amended Liquor License Laws for Ontario : “ In the case of an application for a tavern or shop license by a person who is not, at the time of making such application, a licensee under the Act, or in the ease of an applicu» tion for such license for or transfer thereof to premises which are not then licensed, the petition must be accompanied by {L certifi- cate signed by a. majority of electors en- titled to vote at electionsforthe Legislative Assembly in the polling sub-division in which the premises sought to he licensed are situated, and the saidnntjority must include at least one-third of the said electors who are at the time of such application residents within the said polling sub-division.” Those opposed to the law argue that if the princi- ple of preventing the issue of licenses he \‘alld, it is conceivable that Prohibition shouldhe intmdueetlthroughout the Province through the instrumentality of an act of the “My bod, 100k l” cried the b ‘akeman pv'mtipwhcfiwcks JaSBmh of us sprung to our posts and peered towards Chicago. A great red light came like a flash out of the inky blackness and file special rushed past us like a. whirlwind and was gone. “Four white faces lookeJ into one an- other’s conntenunccs :1» moment later, and just then the operator came rushing out with orders to stop us, lmt we had been stopped by a keencr inskinct than hmua-n intelligence and telegraph wires. Yes. he was mu- m cat,” concluded the old engineer, brushing a strange moisture in his ("ES and walking further along life’s rugged road. The dog had gone before him. Loealfimgislature; whereas to prohibit,is the function of the Federal government. The Court, however, did not sustain this View, but held that “the Legislature could pro- perly impose these conditions to the obtain~ ing of a. license, and the provision is not ultra vires the Local Legislature as being a pxohibitory measure by reason of the rate- payers being able to prevent any licenses being issued, nor is it a measure in restraint; of trade by affixing a stigma to the business of selling liquor.” The importance of this decision from a temperance point of View will be readily seen. It removes all doubts concerningtheconstitutionality0sz provision whichis regarded as one of the most desirable amendments of last session. There is one crocodile more in the Hooghly than there ought to be ; which happens in this Wise. Some fishermen at Kidderpore caught a crocodile, and after various unskilâ€" ful attempts to kill it were dragging it to the police station for the usual reward, when a native gentleman came up and made a liar- gai n with them to return the creature to the river again. He no doubt hoped that by showing kindness to the crocodile he would induce it to refrain from attacking him and his family when they went to bathe. Pious Hindoos are not good naturalists, and are willingr to believe that by restoring a croco- dile to the ) iver they are propitiating the entire inugger family. The liindoo and the Crocodile. THE ITNGENEER'S DEG. The Liquor :1 The English naval nmnmuvres of this year are based on different principles from those which have controlled these operations in past; years. It has been found that these nmke-believe wars are of great advan- tage in bringing out the weaknesses in the naval defence of England, and in giving cunfidenee to the olfieei‘s and men connected with the navy. Flag Ollieei's have had to devise strategical CO!!!l)l1l7LthllS, and V) awn-y them into effect ; cap‘ us have nnd “Ullgl :ll Con rum: ”in: nun ives Lo the condiiinn; ;sii ”into then mac; Able from restlcss (:ruisi; 7 at high Speed: sun] the IICCCSRiCy ofkccying {L keen and prolonged lookout for the enemy.

Latest advices from the Argentine Re- public encourage the hope that the revolu- tion is over. The resignation of President Celman and appointment of Gen. Pellogrini to the head cf aii'airs gives general r isfac- tion. The people have gained their end, though it must he confessed the means em- ployed were desperate and cannot entirely be justified. Still the desperate nature of their case somewhat miti rates their Olrence. \Vith a recklessness seldom witnessed, the government had oppressed them with finan- cial burdens and were contemplating still greater additions to their lead. The national policy of Colman and his colleagues eensistetl irgely in the construction of railways and public works by means of borrowed money. So long as the harrowing continued the show of p )spcrity was kept up, but when the time for paying back arrived the true state of afliuirs began to he realized.

Not since the Dark Ages has such a. brutal spectacle been p1esente.d It 1s not only a pc1seeution of the Jews, but of all persons who do not conform to the Cza1’ s own notions in religious afi‘airs s. All the American and other Protestant ministers in Russia have been ordered sunnnarily to quit work underpain oi expulsion or worse. Even the Greek Church itself is to be purged of all who are suspected of any degree of heterodoxy. Thousands of the Old Believ» ers are yearly sent to Siberia for no other fault than their refusal to accept certain dogmas and forms which the Czar deems orthodox. It 1s not long since the use of any language other than Russian, was 10rbidden in public 01 p1i\ ate wo1ship, the offieeis saying bluntly,“ If you want to talk with God, you must talk in Russian. ’ But now the Czar goes further, and tells his subjects that if they want to worship (-0d at al,l ‘ they must do so in the C/ai s own fashion. i Against such tyranny the wu1ld shoull {speak 111 no uncel tain tone.
