" You had better talk to Bulrush, ma'am." , _ ti “ Can the child go with me to the shop 1” {1‘ enquired Mrs. Eden. . lt' " Noâ€"but ii. alter examining the sixpence, you are satirfied that is the coin you gave her. and the baker consents to withdrew the charge. I will act upon my own responsi- bility, and let her go." replied the man. hire. Eden had already seen the coin, but was unable to swear that it was the gilt she had bestowed on the little beggar. She was a lover of truth. But the appealing lacs 0! the meagre child sorely tempted her. And. moreover, she ielt almost confident that it was the sixpsncs she had picked up and da- posited in the pill box. Should she stretch a point. and say she was quite confident about the identity of the coin? Certain moral scruples beset her mind, but another ‘ ‘ glance at the child’s lace quiet- ‘ ed them. God‘s gospel ol truth was written in these lineamentsâ€"as tar as the sixpense was concernedâ€"as certainly as the bright sun was itself a true thing, created by the Author of Truth. She said she was confident, and would swear it they required her. So the inspector sent a police- man to fetch the baker. The end of it was-that the sour baker. who. as Twellth Night was drawing nigh. was deep in cakes, and had his time tully occupied, was glad cl an excuse for escaping attendance on the Police Court on the mor- row, and ireely consented to take Mrs. Eden’s explanation of the matter. The child was therefore set at liberty. and went to her wretched homeâ€"carrying a quartern lost, and some ready-cooked meat. and a few little “ grocery things "â€"Mrs. Eden's giftsâ€"tor. as she said to the baker’s wile. “I can‘t help being kind to very little children, when they come to begâ€"’tis a weakness, but I can't help it." Mrs. Eden slept soundly that night. and her reposeâ€"she told me this hersellâ€"had no reference whatever to Eden's elevation. and the annual addition of seventy pounds to his l 1 nluy.

In the meantime, he is constantly the subject of attention irom the English sporting press, and the indications are that. although the match is not (or the championship, and can- not rightly be called international, yet it will be regarded with as much interest as if it were both, for everybody knows that if he aucceeds in showing the Delsval man over the course, he will next fly at the champion- ship. Some of the papers, however, appear a little disposed to think our representative is not so good as he is said to be, but there is just a possibility that they will have their eyes opened somewhat before they get‘ through with him.

A prominent sculler, well known through- out tlre country. in speaking of the races oi the past season. gives it as his opinion that, ’ with low exceptions, none of the oarsmen rowed for all they were worth in the different I regattas. heldhoth in Canada and this coun- ,, ‘a,-a ‘nxl-..

He believes that Riley did not try to win his races, as he was laying back for matches, {and states most positively that Frenchy Johnson would have no show with the Saratoga man in a bona fide match. He considers Biley a great sculler, and claims that his great iorte is rowing his race home lrom the turning stake. He even goes so far as to say that Biley can deieat Hanlan. and has no doubt that the late race at Laehine was " fixed.” and that Courtney agreed not to win. He thinks that Boss will improve and hold high rank. but will hardly take first place. He looks for a successiul season (or Morris next year. as the latter will row lap- handed. and is already under the tuition oi Captain Cook, formerly of Yale. Morris is at present at Pittsburg. end is rowing on the ‘ hydraulic machines. Regarding Hanlan, the oarsman referred to gives him credit for being a great sculler, but thinks there are several men in this country his superior. He attributed Henlen's success to the great care given him. and states that he had more boats built for him in one season . than were ever built (or any other sculler. In speaking of Freuohy. he considers him a good osreman and thinks that there are few men in New England his superior. Davis and Kennedy are both good men, he says. and deserve more credit than has been given them in the past. He places Faulkner in the front oi Lenders and Sullivan, and gives it as his opinion that, but lor the accident that betel Faulkner (unshipping his‘ earl, he would have beaten Sullivan an predicts. it the two men come together next year. the result oi their last race will be reversed. Plaieted he considers a very last sculler tor a mile. and says he can leave most any of the oarsmen, and, with a winter's rest, he will row much better the coming season than ever.

Interesting Report at Ilse Secretary to the Canadian Coma-lacto- ne Ilse Pnrte Exhibition. OflAWA. Jan. 14.â€"Mr. J. Perrault. Secre- tary to the Canadian Commission at the Paris Exhibition. arrived in the city today in order to report to the Government the conclusion oi his labors. He lelt Paris on December 21 and arrived in Montreal last Wednesday. The following interesting information has barn learned from him. A difficulty has arisen in connection with the return freight from the Exhibition in Paris. Mr. Keeier signed a contract with the firm 0! H. La- irancols 6; 60.. 0! Paris and New York. for the transportation 01 ireight to any station in Canada for 812.50 per ton. The local agents here have. however, been making extra charges tor brokerage. insurance. cartage. etc.. at New York actually in excess of the whole contract. A letter has been written to the firm about the matter and an answer is daily expected. Persons interested are advised only to pay the contract price. or. it they should pay the amount demanded. to do so under protest. At the close 0! the Exhibition the Commissioners made an aro rangement to have the show cases transferred to the care of the South Kensington Museum authorities. to be used for the Canadian ex. hibit in the proposed Colonial Museum. and such cases as may not be required by Canada will be sold to the other colonies desiring them at cost price. The mineralogical display has been distributed among some fifty or more French and loreign geological museums. and will do much service in making known the mineral products 0! Canada. The display of wheat and other cereals has been distri- buted in the same manner. The magnificent Canadian trophy and the pyramid showing the quantity of gold produced in British Columbia have been lelt at Paris tor the per- manent exhibition there. Mr. Perrault has received a number 0! orders from French firms for samples of Canadian goods. and those orders are being rapidly filled. He thinks the result of the Exhibition will be most satisfactory to Canada. The opera- ir tions of the French tarifl', however. at militate very much against Canada. Not- ht withstanding that_!act. Canadian producers “H‘sâ€"u â€".â€"â€".â€"_.â€"A_ 63:70 can compete in France and runderseil in lumber and goods manuiactured irom wood. such as doors and window-sashes; in agri- cultural implements. both field and hand; and in dairy produce. apples and poultry. Canned fish and lobsters irom Canada are to be found in every grocery in Paris. and Canadian oysters command a very high price. Canadian sewing-machines. although apaying much more duty than English-made machines. are sold cheaper than any machine in competition. The tariff. however. is so high as to prohibit the im_mrtation oi leather and tissues. The French have two tariiIsâ€"the general tariii which is almost prohibitory against Can a. and the con- ventional tariff. at an average of ten per cent. on all goods. The latter tariff is in operation with such countries as enter into treaty with France. and Mr. Perrauit says the only way Canada can trade generally with France will he to either induce the Imperial Government to include Canada in the commercial treaties. or permit Canada to make her own treatise. That the French Government is not averse to entering into a treaty with Canada is proven by the ioliowing iact: M. Teisserane De Bort. Minister oi Finance and Commerce. waited on Mr. Perrauit one day and said he would ‘ like to see a copy oi the Canadian tarifi. He was iaiormed that the maximum tarifl oi Ca- nada was 17} per cent.. except in the case of - wines. when It was 100 per cent. A copy oi the tarii! was given to the Minister and several days alter. having studied it. he said it was perfectly ratieiactory. excepting in the item oi wines. on which they would de- sire a reduction; he iurther stated that the Government were quite willing to place Canada under the operation oi the conven- tional tariii. which. as has been explained. is an average oi ten per cent. The Dominion will find in France a much needed market for her products. As an illustration oi the business which may be done. independent oi that already known to the public. Mr. Perrauit states that one oi the largest clothing manuiaeturers oi Paris enquired on one occasion the price oi Nova Scotia tweeds which he much admired. and on being told sixty cents per yard. he desired immediately to give an order for 6,000 pieces. the quantity he uses per annum. This order. however. was prevented irom being taken on account of the prohibitory tariff on tissues. a tariii. however. which as already has been pointed out will be removed as soon as England 0011 son“.
