We have made srrangemenU with an "Old Soldier" to write a series of sketches in the life of a British soldier of Lie acqaaintairce, with the facts of whose life he is wr-ll acquaint- ed and well qualified to write. These sketches will run throngh four or five isetut-s, and we feel satisfied will prove rery entertaining reading. The first will probably appear next week or the week after. The government committee ap- pointed to wait on the railway com- panies regarding a. reduction of freight rates on hay lia*e had their efforts rewarded by the securing of a rate of 14 cents per 100 HIP, on all hay ship- ped, into thin district 'rom any point west of Montreal. This makes a re duction of 40 cents a ton on the regular rates. It applies to both C. B. B.andG. T. R. lion Mr. Laarier. in a privaU in A-rview, indulged the idea that a plebiscite on prohibition would not carry in Quebec, although local option and the Duncan Act were BO popular. His. reason for such a bolifcf was. that the people a' that province had pe- cxuliar ideas of hospitality, and felt mortified if they had not something spirituous to offer their guest*. Ac- oording to this the lower province i about where Ontario was thirty or forty years ago, and temperance edu- cation is not as far advanced liters as it is with m. Borne thirteen Chinamen have, it is said, been executed for participation in the late riots which destroyed so many missions and missionaries. The Montreal Witness points out that many outrages have been committed upon Chinamen in this country with- aut any action for compensation or piiuiiliineiit being taken by our au- thorities, and draws therefrom an mi- ai> viable comparison between our civi- lization and the heathendom of China This comparison is in our estimation an unjust one. It wa>th "lieathenfi" of this country who comnytted the outrages upon Chinamen, and it was the Itiliargy and indifference of China tliat prevented full reparation brmg made to the nufortnnila cjuitials who sufftiej ut thu hands of our homo, heathen.
