Duel.
Altliough it is 11 familiar .saying that
an Irishman is always spoiling for u
tight, still there is one Kind of liglitinfr
to which even the brave sons of Erin
are sometimes averse. This is dueling.
A story well illustrating this fact has
recently eonie to us.
A certain Irihliiuan, having been
challenged to light a duel, accepted
the conditions after much persuasion
on the part of his friends, who felt
confident of his success. His antag
onist, ti lame mini, walked on crutches.
When the place for the shooting had
been reached the lame man's seconds
asked that he be allowed to lean
against a milestone which happened to
stand there. Tin; privilege was al
lowed, and the hum; man took his
stand.
Thi' Irihliiuan and his seconds drew
oil' to the distance agreed upon, one
hundred feet. Here Put's eourage sud
denly fulled him and ho shouted to the
laiiie man:
"I've a small favor to ask of ve, nor!"
"What is it?" asked the cripple.
Pat answered: "I tould yethotyo
might lean ng'in the mllepost, and
now I would like the privilege of lean
in' ag-'lti tho nixt one."
iho laugh that followed spoiled
everybody's desire for a tight, and tlio
whole party went home without a shot

1 uKsiia 1 , Mpt. l'j. t;k! late rains
which have been copious, have had a
very demoralizing effect on nil kinds of
trnflic. The quietness in business cir
cies continues, and nothing above a
hand to mouth the trade has been hud by
our merchants for the last few days.
homo dealers are already replenishing
their depleted stocks in anticipation of
more activity in the near future.
Prices in all general lines of dry goods
are unchanged, while in groceries there
aro some slight changes noticeable.
Country produce is in the usual supply
at unchanged quotations, and it can bo
said that the market is quitc'sluggish in
movement.
The wheat situation is very unsatis
factory. The markets are unsettled and
with the shortage of product reported,
there may be hopes for better prices in
the future. At least there is a stiffen
ing of the markets abroad as well as in
the east.
The wool s.ituation continues un
changed. Mr. Rice, of Denny Rice &
Co., of Boston, Mass., says the market
will continue to be depressed until con
gress gives some assurance that the
tariff laws will not be molested, or any
radical change take place under the
present administration.
In finances, while there is a general
tightness, there seems to be an easier
tone prevailing, and it can be said that
the past depressing influences are letting
up measurably.
DULL AND CONTENTED.
Graphic sketch of the Feoplr ln n Well
Governed 1'renrli-CanadlHn Village
In the quiet village, where the good
cure's word is law. there is likely to be
little brawling and less drinking, for
the French-Canadians are neither
quarrelsome nor intemperate. There
may be a tavern, or perhaps two tav
erns, where not only guests are re
ceived, but where liquor is sold, but
the cure sees to it that they are closed
very early in the evening. Lonjr before
midnight the streets of the place are
deserted, and a late wanderer need
have no fear of drunken hoodlums. A
will-yoverned Frenvli-Canadian vil
luge, where the cure is thoroughly re
spected because of his wisdom and
piety, nlfbrds a decided contrast to
many rural communities in English
Canada and on our own side of the bor
der. The people are not enterprising. At
least this n'cms to be true of all but a
few exceptions. They are content to
take what comes in their way, with
the happy faith that the morrow will
bring with it its daily bread. They
are averse to breaking in new lands,
and, as the families are large, the
division of the farms generation after
generation finally results in such small
portions that some of the children
must seek 1 inpayment elsewhere if all
are to live. Very few of them are
willing to go to the new lands of Man
itoba and tlie northwest, but they find
congenial occupation in the cities.
They tire admirable mechanics and
are most loyal and devoted servants,
says Henry Lornnis Nelson, in Harper's
Magazine.
The Scotchman or Englishman who
is at the head of a great establishment
prefers the French-Canadians to his
own countrymen a subordinates. He
will tell yo'u that the Frenchmen will
remain with him all their lives: that
no such thought us seeking1 new em
ployment or leaving the old for the
purpose of engaging in ventures for
himself will ever eater a French-Canadian's
head. He' will stay by his old
employer all his life, and his son will
succeed to his own or a better place in
the service of the house. On the other
hand, the Englishman or Scotchman
will take the tirst opportunity to go
into business for himself, and will use
his employment as a stepping-stone to
something better.
