Capital and Labour Again. i It is a circumstance to be regretted lthat genuine cordiality seldom exists I between Capital and Labour. although {the force of circumstances often com- : pols them to go into business partner- . ship. It is generally the fault of Capi‘ tal, which is notoriously greedy and wants more than a fair share of their joint product, and, being the stronger, ; commonly manages to get whal it. wants. l Sometimes, to be sure, Labourâ€"which ’ as a rule hasn't had as much schooling as Capitalâ€"makes a mistake as to its partner's income, and demands more from it than it can afford to give; but this mistake is not. of frequent occur- , rencc. and in nine cases out of ten when 4 Labour kicks up a bobbery it has uood cause for so doing. Capitalâ€"perhaps ,ou account of having clean handsâ€"is l inclined to exalt itself and to believe I that it ought to live on the fat of the l hind ; hut Labour, being taught humil- ity from its youth up. feels contented l when it is reasonably well fed and cloth- l l i . l l t l ed and housed. Consequently Capital, which is never satisfied, is of the opiu- ion that a. hovel and a. brccchcloth and a handful of dried pcnsc ?er dim ought to make Labour happy. True. it. sel- .doin has the assurance to make open l confession of that opinion; but it exists I nevertheless, and once in a while so do- - ieruiined nu effortjs made to act. upon it that Labour grows restivc and strikes. Just now there is a strike amongst the ) telegraph agents and operators,who com- [plain that they have too much work i and too little pay, and declare that. no- ' l0>$ they have less of the former and more of the latter the public may perish - for want of telegrams before they (the recalcitrants) will send or receive them. As long as human nature remains as it is there will always be grumblers in ev- ery profession ; but when from fifteen thousand to eighteen thousand intelli- gent followers of any particular occupa- tion unite in saying that they are over- worked or underpaid, it is not. unreu5< unable to suppose that there is some degree of truth in the allegation. That number of operators is now on strike in Canada and the States; and, ultlio' the telegraph companies are trying to make the public believe that it. is being served nearly as promptly and eflicieutly as formerly, the public know a great deal better, and assert, with some show of reason, that, unless the companies have been in the habit of'cmployiug fif- teen thousand operators more than they required, the simultaneous secession of over than number must have put. their employers into rather a bad fix, of which there are proofs too numerous to mention. In this instance, Capital, as usual, is wrongheaded and obstinate, and no doubt hopes to reduce Labour to the hovel, breech-cloth and dried pcase in less time than it would have taken under ordinary circumstances; but. Labour has the sympathy of the press and the public, and if it can rc- f'raiii from deeds of violenceâ€"in which we are sorry to see it. has shown a dis- position to indulgeâ€"and has, moreover, a few weeks’ supply of pense on hand, theft: is but little doubt. that it will con- qucr in the strife. m A Foolish and Fatal Feat. One of the most utterly useless and semi-suicidal performances on record has had, as everybody predicted. a fatal termination. In last. week's issue we ipublishcd n dcspateli from Buffalo to Auburn, which stated that. Capt. Webb, the celebrated swimmer, proposed to go - over Niagara Falls in a rubber ball four feet. and a half in diameter and a quar- ter of an inch thick; and that, in the. event. of his so doing, the sum of' $10,- 000 and a percentage of the money rc- ccived from spectators would be paid to the captain if he survived or to his heirs if he perished. The startling and iscnsutional announcement, though not I literally correct, was founded on fact; for Capt. Webb, though he did not. go over Niagarad’alls, either in a bull or i out of one, on Saturday last attempted a feat fully as insane us the one he was said to have contemplated. At half l past two 0n the afternoon of that. day he stepped into a boat waiting for him near the Clifton House and manned by John McCloy, the ferrymiin, and at two minutes p'ist four he threw off all his clothing: except a pair of red cotton swimming drawers, and plunged into the river at a point nearly opposite the Mail! of the .lli'st's finding. llis pro~ gross was watched with interest by hun- dreds of spectators on the bridge and along the banks, and he was seen from time to time, as he was swept alone with gradually increasing speed until. about five minutes from the commence- uientof his frightful journey, he was engulfed in the terrible whirlpool below the rapids and sank to rise no more in life. Inipclled by vanity only (for he was not to be paid, as reported) he sprang into the water a handsome, hcnl~ 5 thy man, in the prime of his days and i in good pecuniary circumstances, and, shimld he ever be found, will be draw gcd to shore a battered, loathsome corpse, that those dearest to him will shrink from touching. It is perhaps too much to brand as a suicide a man 3 who attempts an achievementâ€"no mat- ; trr how mud a one it isâ€"which be be- ; lieves he can accomplish; but useless _ undertakings of so desperate a nature i as to be almost necessarily fatal ought. i like suicide. to which they are certainly related. to be declared illegal, prevented when possible. and the perpetrator pun- ished if he escape with his life. The Champion Bowler. l ; Mr. C. J. Logan, of Fenelou Falls. 3 (not of Lindsay, as stated) is one of the among cricketers, and to speak of a man ‘ '~ rmw‘t‘fifiktm :3JT‘ ‘- o ‘.v . . v' basket full of thanks, which we are IL as bowling an over “ as straight as Lo- ways ready to exchange for farm or can " is merely to say that he was on the wicket. The old cricketers here still look back with pleasure to his wou- dcrful performance on September 8th, l9th. 1879, against Duft'a All-England Eleven, when his analysis showed 7 wickets for 36 runs (and should have been much beth but for a moment of mental aberration on the part of the captain of the Canadian team, who without any possible reason changed Logan from one end of the ground to the other, and did not put him back again until the professionals had put on 18 runs from his bowling.) And such wicketsâ€" Ulvelt, Lockwood, Oscroft, Lockwood, Selby and Batesâ€"being a- mong them. and at that time probably five of the bet-t professional bats in Eng- land. Daft, in speaking of Logan, said, ‘ I think that gentleman about the best amateur bowler I ever played, and when he learns to use his head and bowl a loose one now and then, no batting will be too good to put him on against.‘ Since then six seasons of cricket have nigh well passed, and Logan has lost none of his spin or ability to keep on the wick ct, and has gained the knowledge of when to bowl a loose one. He is a fair field, but not much of a bat ; sometimes makes was when they are needed, but his heart is in his bowling.” SOLD.â€"The Davis property on Fran- cis street west was sold by public auc- tion last. Tuesday, and was bought by Mr. Joseph McArthur for $1,000. APPEALEIhâ€"Notice of appeal has been served on behalf of" the petitioner in the South Victoria election case, the petition against Elle Reform candidate having been dismissed with costs. The grounds for the appeal are very slight, and Mr. Meliityre's opponents either don‘t know when they are beaten or else have some surplus funds which they think ought to be applied to the purpose for which they were raised. THE PULP MILLâ€"Work on the pulp mill is being pushed forward as rapidly as possible, and all the walls of the eu- giuc and boiler house, as well as the eastern wall of the mill itself, are now about three feet above ground. The lime-kiln was stopped a. few days ago in consequence ofthc accumulation of lime, but will soon be in operation again ; as a acre-house to contain four thousand bushels was finished this week, and an. other nearly or quite as large will be immediately commenced near the pulp mill. NEW BARâ€"There has been now nearly three weeks of splendid weather for buying. and ngrent deal has been cut, cured and safely housed; but there is still a considerable quantity standing, as the season is uncommonly backward. The crop of hay. particularly clover, is an unusually heavy one, and there is no doubt that. it. will be very cheap, espe- cially if the fine weather continue long enough for that. still uncut to be got in- to the barns. A few loads have already been brought. into the village, and last. Saturday we saw a quantity of mixed clover and timothy, estimated at fully a ton, offered and bought for five dollars; but. it: was rather green, or probably a higher price would have been asked. THE CANALâ€"About: fifty or sittty men are now employed on the canal, and are working away day by day with unabated energy. The dredge halving nearly finished its labours, a commence- ment has been made on the cribs for the cofferdnm at. the entrance of the canal; and carpenters are engaged in preparing the foundation for the mitre sill of the lock gates. In the construction of the foundation twelve pine sticks fourteen inches square and fifty-seven feet. long will be used; they will be counter hewn‘, planed and jointed and bolted to the rock, and the oak mitre bill for the gate will rest upon them. The contract- or expects to be able to commence work On the masonry by the middle of next week, and the cut. stone from Bobeny- goon will then begin to arrive. Otm MAIN Smartâ€"ilk: have been dunned for information as to when that. portion of Colborne street north of Francis street. is to be finished offer. the sides and made to correspond with the part south of Francis street. Some are beginning to think there has been a lit- tle favouritism in the matter, and in order to prevent. this idea from becom- ing routed and giving rise to dissatisfac- tion the council should finish the street at. once. Some of the tenants of Me- Arthnr'snnd Cunningham‘s blocks have, with nootnmendable love of neatness, removed the loose stones that rolled down the sides of the roadway, thereby ureatly improving its appearance and increasing the contrast. between their part of the street and that higher up. S. S. Ptcxlc.â€"St. Jamcs's Church Sunday school picnic is to come off a. week from next Wednesday, and it. will either be held at. the rectory or in some pleasant spot. near the village, as no boat can be got to convey the children and their friends to Roscdnle or else- where, and the railway authorities de mnnd such exorbitant rates that a trip on the cars is out of the question. Nev- er mind ; by the summer of 1885 the canal will be open for traffic; and when in cargo of cxcursionists can be taken right through from Lindsay or else where to the beautiful scenery of Bal- sam Lake, there will be no lack of good fast inspectinn~dcfying boats on these waters, affording us villagers as great, facilities for enjoying a day's outing as there were before the Victoria brunch ofilie Midland Railway was built or thoughtof. ' New Porarocs.-â€"As a rule, the ma- jority of persons who grow potatoes have l new ones on their tables by the middle l ofJuly, and some a few days earlier ; but this year so many Herc washed out of the ground or rotth in it by the {re- queut heavy rains that in many ins- ! moon the work of planting had to be , repeated two or one three times, and we heard of one farmer who was en- repruenu the following 6m class compo-l cricketers “la-ted to play in the inter. caged at it only a week ago.

We returned Mr. Finn's garden produce. Next ! A Gas ENGIxnâ€"aniug occasion to be in Lindsay last Tuesday we made a. friendly call at the ofice of the Post. and found a knot of persons assembled around a new Duty gas engine which had just been set up, and was about to be put into operation. The man who had charge of it. appeared to have all his faculties so fully employed that we did not like to trouble him with ques- tions, and it was useless putting them to persons as ignorant of the modus op- eraiidi of the machine as ourselves Presently armebody stuck a lighted match in somewhere,‘ somebody else gave the flywheel a. start, and whiz! away it went at an unknown number of revolutions per minute, to the admira- tion of all beholders. The gas engine, which cost 8500 and is of four or five horse power, is safe, economical and ready for use at a moment's notice; be ing only inferior in these particulars to a water motor, such as was lately put up in the Peterborough Review office, and which would have been adopted by the Post had circumstances permitted. FIRE IN FENELON.â€"Betweeu eleven and twelve o'clock last Saturday night fire broke out in a log burn on lot. 21 in the-lat con. of Fcnclon, near the village of Glcuarm, and it was entirely destroy- ed, together with nearly 80 bushels of cuts, 16 tons of buy, a. waggon, a rean- er, a. seeder, a threshing machine, .11 gang plough, two other ploughs. a. fan- ning mill, 1: grindstonc and some hay- rakea. The owners of the property, Messrs. John and James Risden, live in Mariposa, but they had been harvesting on the Pension farm on Saturday and went. home at. 6 o'clock. The larger implements had been moved out of the burn that day, but were left so close to it that. they were burned before the ar- rival of the neighbours, who, however. were in time to draw a sulky rake and mowing machine out. of reach of the flames. The threshing machine was the property of Mr. John Campbell, a farmer of the vicinity, who had left it outside the burn after using it last. win- ter. There was no insurance of 8700 on the building and its contents. The origin of the fire is involved in mystery. PATENT lawmanâ€"We don't often visit. the distrie. described in the voters' list. as “ south of the river; ” but. when we go there and call in at the carriage factory, Mr. Sundford, tho cnterprisibg proprietor, generally has something to make a note of. Last Wednesday he showed us a Macdonuld Graded Inject- or, which lie bought. a couple of weeks ago and attached to his boiler, and with which he is greatly pleased. It is it simple looking little affair, not bigger than a. quart: measure“; but it draws a stream of water through an inch pipe from the river. which is about 400 feet distant and nine feet below the point of delivery. The injector supplies the 26 horse power boilcr‘by working about one third time, and of course would draw enough water for an engine of over 80 horse power if kept. constantly at work. There are four sizes of the instrument made, varying in price from $27 to $83, and Mr. Saudford’s is the second size, which costs $38 50. It. works admirably, and, besides supplying the boiler, would be useful in extin- guishing an incipient fire on the prem- ises, us it. will throw cold water to a distance of from 25 to 50 feet. We may remark that. Mr. Sundford's plau- iiig machine does first-class work and is not often idle, as the large engine late- ly set up is powerful enough to keep all the machinery on the premises in oper- ation at. the some time. - A Big Jam. At the present time there is one of the largest drives of the season going down the Otonabce river. Owing to the water being lower than at. any other time this summer, a. jam was formed on the island directly opposite the gas house, and it continues to grow larger as the logs come down. What. the reâ€" sult will be is not. known, but if the men do not. attend to it. at once the flow of water will certainly be. impeded, and the consequences may be disastrous.â€" Pcterborough Review. A Bold Voyager. The Aleplune. belonging to Norway. 24 feet long, 5% feet beam, and 2 feet deep, arrived at. London on the 2nd inst. In this cockle-shell the captain and sole occupant. Mr. Johnson, a nu- tive of Christian’sund, 46 years of' age, had made an ocean voyage of about one thousand miles. The Neptune left Dron- theiui, in Norway, on lst June, and coasted along the land for about 400 miles to Stavanger, where she took in water, etc., and after one day's stay to enable her master to take a rest she left on the 17th June. With ii. fair wind and a smooth sen she could manage to log seven knots an hour. She made the English coast on the 25th ofJuncâ€"sev- en days' passage frnin Stavangcrâ€"her first landfall being Flamborough Head. - ‘ The Lindsay Central. The prospects that. a Central exhibi tion will be held in Lindsay this fall are good. appointed to receive subscriptions to a guarantee fund have succeeded very well, and over $600 was colleEted in town alone. A meeting in the interests of the societies of Ops, Msriposs, Emily and Fcnelon will be held about the list of August, and to which meeting the above moieties will send delegates. It is expected that each society will be wil ling to guarantee 850. With a proper share of energy the show could be made a grand sums, and once on u satisfac. tory footing it will be kept up from year to year.

D The deputation who wcrcl Wholesale Pardoning. The Emperor of Rosin. in his mani- festo. granted a free pardon to 20,000 or 30,000 political offenders, mostly Poles, who had taken part in the insuri rcctiou of 1863, and to 10,000 or 12.- 000 thieves and cut~tlirouts, mostly Rus- sians. The politiml offenders have not benefited much by the Imperial clemen- cy. for most of them are dead ; the thieves, on the other hand, have thor~ oughly enjoyed themselves since their release, cutting purses and cracking cribs as of yore. Fortunately for hou- est folks, the police have displayed great. energy, and 90 per cent. of the pardon- ed prisoners src already reinstalled in their former quarters, to remain there till a social earthquake or a new coro- nation grunts them another brief spell of liberty and crime. The Suicidal Season. The earth in its orbit is just. now passing through a suicidal season. Not only do men insist upon killing them- selves with more than the usual regu- larity, but they insist upon killing them- selves in the most grotesque and unusu- al manner. To fill ouc’s pocket. with stones and then slip gracefully froui n ferryboat, to take a header into a lime kiln, or to saturate oue's clothes with kerosene and then apply a match. is no longer up to the advanced idea. An old woman of' Maryland, who was tired of life, took a chair, seated herself in an empty cistern just before a thunder storm, and sat there till the water sufi focated her. The other day it story came from Missouri of a. man who swal- lowed a paper of tacks with fatal iii- tent. We now have the case of a French- man in New York who was discovered dead in his room with a mirror in one hand and a pistol in the other, his head carefully propped by a pillow. He had shot himself through the bend and then managed to take one look to see what. it was like. A Terrible Tornado. MILWAUKEE, July 22.â€"A Chicago and North-Western passenger train wns caught in a tornado yesterday afternoon, fifteen miles south of Green Bay, Wis. The rain poured through and drenched the passengers. The cars stood on one rail for a long distance. owing to the force of the wind, and trees fell across the track. The darkness was so great that the engineer could not. see out of the cab. At Kiiukukiua he saw evi- dence of buildings wrecked. An un- known schooner was seen bottom up 30 miles off this port today. No name epuld be discovered. It is supposed all hands are lost. Washouts occurred on nearly all the railroads in the vicinity. Near Dod‘zerville buildings were blown down in every direction, crops prostra ted, and two women killed. ST. PAUL. July 23.â€"Suturday’s storm extended from near the bend of Minne- sota River to the Mississippi, and from one to two miles wide. It crossed All- worth, Wosccal, Steele, Dodge, Olius, and \Vabaslia counties. At. Kosnst. Win. Crosby's new and old residences were swept. away. At. Owutami a train was blown from the track; twenty-five persons were hurt, some family. At Mcridcn uiuch daiiinge was done.

The dog first caught. hold of Taylor, but flailing it was not. his master, let him go and swam [Iardcn's children were severely hurt. to Davies, whom he supported until he Middleton's mill and residence, north of “'3" 1‘":de up by “ PMS'": steamer. Byron, were blown to pieces and Mid- dleton killed. H. Deeds' house was blown to atoms and Deeds carried sev- eial rods. The school house was car- ried to parts unknown. The damage in Dodge county amounts to $130,000. -._. Cancelling Postage Stamps by Elec‘ tricity. The method of defrauding the Gov. crnmcnt by cleaning postage stamps and using them over again is one that. is practised to a greater or less extent in all countries. The loss which the Uni- ted Statcs Government has suffered in former years from this cause was enor- mous. A systematic enquiry into the subject lately made by the French post- al authorities reveals the fact that the Government treasury loses as much as $100,000 per nnuum in this way ; and doubtless the fraud has escaped detec- tion in many cases, so that the loss may be estimated ata higher figure. The number of devices which have been sug~ gestcd to make the cancelling of postage stamps effectual is very large. All kinds of hand stumps have been made. Some scraped the surface, others perforated it, others used chemicals that. decompowd the colouring matter of the ink in the postage stamp. But the difficulty has always been that the remedy was too good. It would do more than was want ed, and the envelope or the parcel was liable to suffer by it. In this cmcreen- cy. electricity has just been thought of; and a French inventor, \l. J. Chsicuct, has brought it to the rescue of the iron- sury department by an ingenious appli cation. The idea of M. Cliatcnet is to use the heating properties of a current of electricity to scorch the stamp. The instrument for stamping has the ordi- nary foriu, consisting of a round knob, or handle, attached to a. die. One side carries two small binding posts which receive the current from a. battery , means of a flexible connecting cord of l the kind used in telephone connections. From these posits the current passes through a. switch button. by turning which the circuit is completed and the current made to pass through a zigzag thread of platinum. This platinum forms the cancelling face, or the die of the stamp. By the pares-4e of the cur- l rent it becomes red hot, and when lbronght down an a stamp it. chars its surface with n zigzag mark that in neâ€" cessarily indelible. By contact with the cool surface of the stamp the platinum 3 wire is chilled, and as the die is home. i diately removed there is no injury done l the envelope. This electric stamp can On the north side of the river near ()dannh, there is, according to the Min- ncdosu Star, a recently made Indian grave of peculiar appearance. The whole top of the grave is made of a framework of' pyramidal shape made of white smooth poplar wood. At one end 'is an opening through which food is passed daily, it. being an Indian super- stition that. the dead need to be fed. The Durham Review, after referrinu to the number of workmen in Manitoba who are unable to obtain employment, says :â€"“ Would it not. be well to organ- izea society lll Ontario to assist such emigrants to settle in this Province,- whcre their chances of obtaining work are much better than in Manitoba, and where they will be dealt with more lib- orally by the Provincial Govnrmncot '3 " 'A fruit dealer in Elmira, N.
