It was only to be expected that the Ben- Well tragedy at Princeton, (.lnt., would at- tract wide-spread attention to the induce- nieiits offered young Englishmen of family and wealth to come and settle.- in Canada. Unfortunately the attention is of a most disagreeable nature. and bids fair, if a rigid and impartial inquiry is not at once set afoot into the truths of sundry statements that are being made. followed by a full and explicit report thereupon, to act very much to the detriment of this province of Ontario, and not unlikely to the whole country. There is surely suiiiciciit warrant for a gov- ernmental inquiry into the foundation, for instance, of such a story as is told in the fol- lowing : l).\i..\.\ii:r.i:, l’i..u'i:it (‘..i'.\'r\', L'al., March 24.~-’I‘Ilc murder of Frederick Cornwallis liciiwell and the extraoiwlinary circumstances surrounding it haVc mailed the greatest iii- tcrcst among the young Englishmen who have recently been coming to l,‘alifornia in large numbers, many of whom have been plucked by sharpers of the llirchall stamp through the " farm-pupil " swindle. One of these is Arthur C. 1-2. Johns. a nephew of Lord Lurgan and now owner of an extensive fruit. orchard at lh-laiiicre. whose experience is almost a parallel to that of l‘iclnl'cll and Policy. In conversation xi. itli a corresponds cnt to-day .\Il‘. Johns: :ziiil: “ Yes, I am oneof the victims of the nharpers who lure young Englishmen to Cain, ada. where theyarc plucked of all they possess. A couple of years ago. beingdcsirous oflearningsoineusefubrecupationin America, Iaiisw'ercd an advertisement in a London paper, which set forth in glowing terms the delights of a gentleman farmer's life in Ontario. I had no business experience at the time and and relied upon the judgment. of my father, but he was largely influenced by my enthusiasm for [lie free. itlchllllll'UllS life of America, as lplctlll't'tl it.

The money was paid in cash and the other parties were to pay all my expenses out to Ontario, where I was to work with a farmer for a year and be supplied with pocket money and a certain percentage of the profits. \thn the time came for sailing 1 found two other young men were coming out.

She was wounded again at the battle of Magenta. Later, with uiidaunted energy and courage, she pursued her chosen mission under her country‘s flag in Syria, China and Mexico. From the battlefield of \Vorth she was carried away suffering from serious injuries, and before she had recov- ci'cd she was again performing her duties.

The wagon incl us at the station and we were taken to the farm, where the proprietor at. once he- gun to grumble because we had wasted four days, licsaid. Things were. very different. from what we expected. It. was a most. dreary region. The first night. at a meal they called “supper” the farmer got mad at me when I asked for a glass of ale and said we would have. lo give up such aristocratic notions. The. next morning we had to get up before daybreak, at about 4 o’clock, and go out to work in the fields. u'l‘he farmer, who was a surly, ill-temper- cd brute. anxious only to get as much as possible out. of us, had, we afterwards lcarii- cd, discharged his hired man in anticipation of our coining. Instead of receiving pay for our work we were actually paying high for tlicprivilcgc. \Vc all worked so hard the first day that we could do nothing for two or three days after that. being sore. all over with swollen hands and feel. \\'c had to sleep in a wretched garrct where it was frightfully cold and they wouldn't give us a light to read or write by at night. We used to lie in bed and talk on r our hard lot and the homes wchad left lll'llllltl, wondering should we ever see them again, and often we cried our- selves to sleep. "The food we got was wretched, and we began to lose llcsli rapidly. The people we met were rude and uniutorcd and though \vellriutentioncd. no doubt. were not the kind of people we could associate with. “'0 were Englishmen and better educated than the rest. and the old rutliuii we worked for, I think. took a delight in taking it out of us. as he said. and humiliating us in every possible way." It was not many Weeks. said Mr. Johns, bcforc they all agreed that this thing was not at all what they expected, and the soon- or they quit the better. Then they found they were tied down by an iron-bound agree- ment to the farmer. who was very cautious about lcttin ' them gooutofhis sight. They met a youngfifinglishnian working fora neigh- boring furmei‘ iii the same plig it as them- selves who had tried to run away and been brought back. and he described the life as worse than slavery. 'l'licv heard of similar ciscs allover Ontario. In many, wealthy young Englishmen had been lured into carry~ ing with them an immense outfit of clothes and luggage. which they relinquished and left at the iaiins rather than stay out their time. They were nearly all pcnnilcss and frieiidlcss in a strange country. "I wrote home." tfllltl .\lr. Johns. "and meanwhile dctciinined to run away at the first oimrtunity.
