Castle Garden in New York. where immi- wants are landedus Visited every day by men who are seeking wives, says the Philadelphia Times. Some of these men. strange as it may appear. flnd young women willing to marry them. although in come instances the scarcely know each other's language. nyhcdy might suppose that men in this country would not have toseek wives in that .way. Everywhere there are marriageable young women. They are in such numbers that many of them hardly hope ever to get married. They cannot be ignoth ol the reasonâ€"the men who seek wives do not seek them. [on who go to Castle Garden are not poor men and tramps whom no one wants to anarry.

Al Agricultural Fall- Buulle in a Dismal Failure. A detpateh lrom London says: A curious Illustration of the power of boycotting in the hands of the revengeful Irish peasants he. just been furnished. In county Kil- kenny for the pint six years an agricultural lair hes annually been held at Bessborough, near Pilltown. under the patronage of the gentry and nobility of the neighborhood, ct whom Lord Beseborough is the head. He is a somewhat active politician, is Deputy. Lieutenant of King's county, and stands high in the favor o! the Dublin Castle authorities. His recent actions, however. have embittered the peasantry of hie own and neighboring estates, and they deter- mined to boycott the fair. as a measure of revenge. They posted notices throughout the district, menacing all who oontribted to orattended the exhibition, and as fast as the notices were torn down they were myso Seriously replaced by others still more threatening. Lord Beesborcugh pooh- ptohed the notices. but the lair has proved 3 dismal failure. The tenants were (right- ened into non-attendance, and but few 0! thegentr made any entries. so that the old eetab iehed institution has this year degenerated into an exhibition without exhibits and without speetators. CURIOUS CASE OF BOYL‘OTTING of water. Mr. O'Brien made a ccfiar dam of boards and calked it tightly with oakum and cement. Then he bailed out the water, descended and raised the flooded lock and bailed that out. In company wi:h John Burne he descended through their rudely constructed shalt and amid the ringing cheers of excited and anxious spectators rescued the eix men who an hour belore were in such a perilous situation. The men were pale, haggard, exhausted and muddy. With the exception otone, whose head was cut by afalling ike. they were uninjured. This act or esers. O‘Brien and Burns will not soon be forgotten, at least by any of the six who were imprisoned twelve hours in aeub. marine cavern.

Attach. a Man with I Ila-or- nd Gets Murdered A Calgary despatch says that Wm. Foster. formerly a barber is this town.had been murdered at End of Track.was the brief intelligence received here on Sunday last. From particulars we have since learned it appears that Foster was in the habit of moving forward with the 0.1’. R. men. On Friday last hie outfit was being carried to the front on a train which was in charge of Finn. Ia unloading the effects a bar- .ber's chair was broken. which aroused ‘Foster toalmost an uncontrollable degree of excitement. After the matter had anh- sided Foster called Finn into his tent and commenced to abuse him shamefully. Finn retaliated, and Foster then rushed at the former with a razor. Finn receded until cornered. when he drew his revolver and fired four shots. three of which took effect. Foster died the next day. The victim was of a morose disposi- tion. and regarded as a dangerous man. It is said that he shot a man in Montana, and that this was the fourth time he was known to have drawn a razor. in one case cutting aman seriously in the abdomen. Finn has been engaged on the 0. P. R. construction some two or three years. and at the time of the shooting was foreman of the iron car. He is represented as being a quiet and inoffensiVe man. and was a ravorite with the workmen. who believe the act was done in sslt-deience. Einu was‘ arrested yesterday at Eldon by Constables Davidson and Gould. to whom he stated he was then on his way to Calgary to give himself into the hands of the police. He was brought to Calgary. but will be sent back to British Columbia. as Northwest magistrates have no jurisdiction in the matter. A Fort MoKinny (W.

Yesterday morning a party of ‘ ntlemen from this city succeeded in pass- ing through the narrow entrance, which is ‘ about fifty yards lon . They were sur- prisedto find themes ves in a spacious corner with solid limestone walls leading straight into the centre of the mountain. When the had followed this for a few hun- dred yer s they cameto a large room where the water was driping from the ceiling and trickling down the sides of the room and had formed what is known as dripping limestone. These formations were hanging from the ceiling in long pointed sticks like Icicles. Some were white as snow, some browu. some as transparent as glass. The sides of this room Were decorated in every car.- cewahle shape and form. The explorers declared the sight well worth the trouble and risk of getting lost in the numerous passages With which the hill is literally nousycombed. After wandering around for some time the explorers finally came to the main passage and went on and on into the centre of the mountain. They were determined to find the end of the line. and so pushed on until the sides began to narrow and the ceiling to slepe until there was met room enough for lone to pass through. There they gave up ‘the search. When they returned to the month of the cavern the sun was sinking in the west, and they Were surprised to find that they had been in the bowels of the earth the entire day. They think they must have gone fully six miles under ground. The cave is a solid limestone rock. and the locality has been noted for the past few years as a summer resort on account of the cool refreshing water that flows from the cave in an ever-filling stream.

Avisitor from the New World cannot but be struck with the absolute inde- pendence with which Englishmen live up to their own ideas. whether they coincide with the general current of opinion or not. On the other side of the Atlantic public sentiment rules with almost irresistible force; no erratic departures {tom the general law are tolerated; every man must conform tothe rules of the majority. It you know one young man in the United States you know them all. They resemble each other with curious fidelity in dress. manner and appearance. Their very thoughts. racy and original as they are. run in the same groove. and they give expression to them in the same chryetal- ized forms of speech. This iron rule does not prevail to nearly so great an extent in Canada. but it exists with suflieient force to make the inde- pendence of the individual English- man marked even to a Canadian. The old Indian generals who affect eastern modes of life in misty England. the retired sea captains whose talk is ever in nautical phrases of nautical matters. and other riders of hobbies innumerable. who have furnished materials to many authors. and amusement to many generations of readers. abound in England and help to render the land icturerque and attractive. All these harm ass and amusing ecccntricities are almost ruled down into a dead level of monotonous uniformity in the New World. Perhaps I should except New York from this general statement. This. the greatest city in America. is the most cosmopolitan in its character. Men oi all nationalities go to make up its vast pulstion; it is less distinctly American t an Philadelphia or Boston. lie young men. whether inten- tionall or not. closely resemble young En lisimen; indeed. all classes exhibit the r own peculiarities nniniluenced by the repressing tyranny of general habits or. opinions.â€"â€"Ouull‘e Family Magarine.

Alast (Thursday) night's Drifton, Pa., despatch says: John Berle, a miner, employed by Cove Bros. Co., was return- ing from a mission service at the Roman Catholic Church yesterday, in company with his wife and sister, when he suddenly dropped on his knees and began praying ; then, with a yell. he sprang up, tossed his hat into the air, pursued his wile into a Neighboring house, and, in his manical ‘trenzy, dashed headlong at a large mirror, shivering it into fragments and cutting his hand and arm severely. Still yelling and waving his hand, with the blood pouring from it. he tore frantically up the street. Everybody supposed he had murdered some one, and was brandishing the knife, eager for more bloodshed. Catching hold of his terrified sister, he flung her to the earth and attempted to choke her to death, but being pulled off turned upon the crowd that gathered and charged it, still waving his bloody hand and putting everybody to flight, calling out that he would kill them. They pursued him, and after a long chase he came up with Theophilus Gibbons, whom he grappled, tearing all the clothes from his body. Gib- bons held on to him, however, and the others. plucking up courage, seized the maniac, and after a desperate struggle bound him, and he now lies there tied hand and foot under the charge of a physician, who pronounces him suflering from a most severe attack of acute mania, probably brought on by religious excitement.

There are a great many young men in New York who manage to live well. enjoy frequent excursions and keep well in the amusement swing by conducting all of their entertainments on what is commonly known as the Philadelphia plan. They are the well-dressed, good-natured and buy- looking men who are seen together in a box at the theatre. dining at a good restaurant. going to the races on a coach, or running 1of! for two or three days’ fishing on a yacht. Their bills are paid unobtrusively and quietly, but when the crowd is alone, a prompt settlement is had, and each man pays his own share. When a number of men " whack up " for a dinner it reduces the cost very much. They can eat a much better dinner, have more wine and a greater variety than when dining alone, and tor less money. As a rule. the young men who go about town habitually are not over- burdened with funds, and it any one at them attempted to entertain all his trieuds he would find it a serious drain on his puree. That is why the Philadelphia plan is resorted to. During the races at Jerome Park the hotel coaches are continually employed by crowds of men who go on this principle. The coaches have movable seats which can be arranged on top so that they look like veritable coaching-club drags, and when drawn by four spanking bays they make quite a presentable appearance. With a crowd of ten or fifteen men aboard, such a coach usually forms a very lively sort of a procession. The young men usually chip in from 83 to $10 apiece and make the solid sum with which they buy a horse tor a winner and a horse for a place in every race. This keeps them interested all through the day. and when they. go home they divide the winningsâ€"it there are any. In the same way they arrange yachting trips and excursions to the country. It may not be a particularly aristocratic mode of procedure. but it certainly is much fairer to all concerned than the indiscrimi- nate habit of treating. by which the poorest man in the crowd is usually impoverished â€"through the proverbial generosity of poor menâ€"and the mean man has no end of lun without paying for it.â€"Nw York Sun.

A London despatch says: A very ambitious project for the improvement of the waterways of Europe is under consider- ation at Vienna and Berlin. The proposal is to connect the Black Sea with the Baltic by means of a canal, extending from the Danube to the Oder River. The proposed line of the cane! is ircmapoint on the Danube River, near Vienna, through Moravia, and Austrian and Prussian Silesia, to a point on the Oder, not tar from Breslau. which is now the head of the navigation of that river. The distance in a straight line is about 200 miles. but the length of the canal would be largely increased by the natural difficulties of the country and by the necessity of making wide detours to find practical asses through the Sedutio mountains. he estimated cost is 70,000,000 florine or about 100,000 per mile of completed canal. The canal would afiord a water highway directly across the centre of Europe. thus cheapan- ing transportation betwaen the maritime cities of Germany and Austria. It would also, according to the statements of its promoters, traverse many districts which are rich in mineral deposits and make their developments easy and profitable. Glover Capture at Some Bigho‘l‘oncd Imaul‘lo A last (Thursday) night’s London cable- gram says: The prize-fight at Epsom to-day between J aok Massie and Ooddy Mid- dings has had some sensational results. Most of the aristocrats who witnessed the match escaped lrom the police in carriages or on horseback. Some. however, were less lucky. and one party 0! five was neatly captured. They were leading spirits in arranging the light. and being very “ fly ” had taken remarkable precautions to hood- wink the police in case of a raid. They had engaged a largelurniture van, and when the constables appeared upon the scene the five abettors oi the manly art climbed into the van. bolted the doors on the inside and told the driver to drive with all possible speed to London. The van started off all right, but the extraordinary rate at which it went attracted the notice at the police, and .a mounted squad was sent in pursuit. The constables overtook the van at Streatham. and a short conversation with the driver convinced him that he had better direct his course to a potice station. The five gen- tlemen who had im risoned themselves in the van heard nothing 0! the conversation, and knew nothing of the change 0! destina- tion which had been arranged. They laughed and chatted boisterousiy inside the van until it stopped. Then they unbolted the door, clambercd down the back steps of the van, and each gentleman found himself in the grasp of a stalwart policeman. They were escorted into a police station, and; made as comlortahle as possible pending their removal for examination at How street. The inspectors at Scotland Yard lock upon this as a remarkably oleVet‘ arrest. They say that it high-toned gen- i tlemen'will violate the laws of the land it} is very considerate on their part to provide their own prison vans, and the Yxample should be imitated.

Nearly all these measures ware taken in the time or Alexander 11. By throwing every possible impediment in the way or starting new journals, by having censors only in a few at the principal towns (which rendered it well-nigh impossible to conduct papers in any other town). the Government found no difficulty in practically eatin- guiehlng the provmclai press. Hence Alexander 11]. had only to do with the prees of the two capitals, and It must be admitted that in this contest Count Igne- tiefl and, above all, Count Tolstoi showed more discernment than was displayed by our generals in the war against Turkey~ they attested the enemy where he WAR weakest.

Cirrus-II. Then. It is a patent fact that our press is ‘ almost altogether Liberal and anti-govern- mental. writes a Russian correspondent to ’ the London Timer. This M. Katllov him- self does not attempt to deny. The organs of reaction may be counted on the fingers ‘ of one hand. Most Russian papers are either frankly Liberal or shrewdly artlul. alternating between servility to escape the censure and opposition to please their . readers. For itis a significant fact that reactionary journals do not sell ; even the Moscow Gazette. M. Katltov’s organ. not- withstanding the value conferred upon it ‘ by its semi-ofiicial character. has not a third of the circulation of the Liberal Courier and the Vedomom'. The opportunist tendencies of the Russian press on the one hand. and bureaucratic obscurantism on the other. are leading rapidly to a collision which can hardly fail to be fatal to the Weaker of the two forces. The history of the struggle betwaen them-if that may be called a struggle in which one party can offer hardly a show of resistance’preeents three dis- tinct phases. The Provmcial press was the first to suffer. Being under the preventive censure toe administration had only to draw the bonds a little tighter in order to crush it utterly. Less known. having less influence and fewer readers. country papers may he treated with less ceremony than their contemporaries of the two capitals Then, again. their conductors. having less finesse. and. perhaps. greater honesty than city journalists. are more outspoken in their language. more sincere in their liberalism. and consequently more liable to fall under the lash or the censure. Alto. gather. it may be averred without exaggera- tion that. notwithstandihg its lacs of literary polish, the part of our press the most sympathetic. the most devoted to the public Weal and capable of promoting national well-being. were our country papers. But the tchiucvniks of St. Peters- burg neither considered their usefulness nor respected their honesty. The spectre ct separatism was summoned against them and they became the first victims of the reaction. The holocaust went on easily and quietly. without too much scandal, and was all but completed beiore the death of Alexander 11. It required only a word to the censors. and the work was begun. One by one the best country papers. weary of the annoyance. the chicanery. and, the. oppression to which they were continually exposed. gave up the struggle. Suppression by decree was unnecessary. as they were worried out of existence by ministerial ordinances. each more impossible and absurd than the other. The Odessa. Lirtok. a purely political paper. was ordered strictly to avoid domestic subjects. The Telegraph. a journal founded for the express purpose of defending Jewish interests. and promoting a fusion ot the two races. was forbidden to make any allusion to the Jewish question. The expe- dients of the department were sometimes. marked by a grim humor all its own. One was to appoint as special censor of an obnoxious print an ofiicial living at the other extremiiy of the empire. This involved the sending I) him of et ery proof. both of comment and news, before publica- tiou. Hence the paper on which this practi- cal jolie was play so could not appear until ten or fifteen days after its contemporaries of the same town or district. No journal giving news a fortnight out of date could possibly go on. and journals so treated rarely attempted to reappear. But as no- body could say that the Government had ‘ suppressed them. there was neither scandal nor " agitation of rpirits." One more un- fortunatehaddiedanaturaldeath-thatwaa. all.
