A CRIPPLED CABINET. John Sandfield Macdonald Jok- About Colleagues' Disabilizes Within receny years it has t 1 he practice in politics for pap leanings to either one of the par to deny vigorously any rumor th one of its leaders is ill, while it w allege the most trifling illness of prominent. politician on the othe side to be so grave that the patien friends fear for his life. Time was when party adheren vere less sensitive regarding nealth of their chiefs. John Sandfield Macdonald, on Premier of Ontario, as all know, wa tall, spare of frame, but alert. Hi favorite attire included tweed trous ers, colored vest, and frilled shir front. He had the misfortune t have weak lungs, but with care hi reached a good span of life and sa in Parliament more than thirt; years. In the raw-meat, 'red bloo: fashion of his time he enjoyed a wit ticism though it might sometimes sa vor of broad humor. He was fond o: joking at the peculiarities of himsel and his colleagues, among these be- ing Edmund Burke Wood and Mat thew Crooks Cameron. The forme: bad only one arm, and hailed" frou Brantford near which, of course, lie: the Indian Reserve, and hig big voice gained for him from his aboriginal neighbors the famous soubriguet of "Big Thunder." "Little Thunder," by the way, was the late Hon. A. S. Hardy, who betimes emerged from the same district to a distinguished public life. | E. B. Wood afterwards went west as the Second Chief Jus- tice of Manitoba. That Matthew Crooks Cameron lost his leg in a shooting accident will readily occur to the minds of old-timers, he became Chief of the Ontario Common Pleas Division, and was subsequently knighted. It was at a period when Sandfield Macdonald found himself an object of more than ordinary solicltude amongst his Cabinet that he admin- istered his famous witty rejoinaer to his colleagues: 'What a curious lot We are, a sort of one-horse concern," he burst forth, 'here is Wood with but one arm, Cameron with one foot, and I with one lung!" On another occasion, od. John Prince--an ultra-loyal, English-born member of the Legislature -- took umbrage at the entrance to the Par- liamentary library of Wm. Lyon Mackenzie, who had been for some years 'in exile after the unpleasant. ness af the Rebellion, but had now 'returned to Canada. Col. Prince de- manded to see the ticket of the mem- ber by whom he had been admitted, and threatened to put the celebrated reformer out. John Sandfield Mac- donald, however, hearing of this, called on Mackenzie and formally in- troduced the latter to the sacred pre- cinets. The fire-eating Col. Prince afterwards explained his rudeness, s.ying he 'bad acted on the impulse of the moment." The peace-taaker had forgotten to reckon with the hosts of his 'Highlanders of Glengar- WW. of whom he was a born leader. At his next visit to his constituents they complained of his civilities to a late rebel. "Do you think," inter- Jected John Sandfield, '1 would see an Englishman kick a Scotchman and not interfere?" Capt. Wm. Prince-- son of this Col. Prince--was for sev- eral years Chief Constable of Toron- to, and later Warden of the Central Prison. th THEIR FIRST BOW, mid-August fall that fashionable frocks, By at Trouville, The white hat is of The black hat, | BIA.GIAN TOWNS FORTIFIED Vetee and Namur Able to Make a Strong Défense Namur, the Belgian the Germans are bombarding, about thirty-odd apart on the River Meuse 1 are in a billy conutry, admir- adopted' by nature for defen- e£ (jerations, and both have been forfeited since 1886 by neral Brailmont, the Belgian mi- engineer, who gave the best his life prot: ing is from German agaression essful has he oeen that Liege calle l the weet city in Lardpa. are railroad centre importance, but I more considerable city both banks of the Meuse, divi a long and Cross the low on the one on dismantled of the seventeenth century, citadel and the chartreuse.

The dance song tells of the prowess of the hunters and of the history of the tribe. The movements of the women are surprisingly grace- ful, ané they mean to show in their dance that, as daughters of a great people, they are possessed of all the qualities such women should have.
