E. church, better known as " Crowfeet," and organized a literal y society under the name of the ".5. G. Hei land Literary society." The success of this organization has been sui prising, as the old chinch building has been filled past ils capacity night after night by audiences composed largely of ladies and a pio pie gransme of exceedingly interesting lileiaiy and musical exeieises is always given by our active members. A committee of the society has cnteied into negotia tions with the tiustees of the ehuich for the pmchase of the building; as it is no longer used for church purposes, the tiustees wish ie sell it. The last night's exeieises consisted of answering ei" re ferrcd questions, which we;e geed ones, Mich as "What is specific giaity'."' " What is a vacuum .'"' " Why does a wagon inn down hill :'" "De stones glow '.'" and some etheis, answeied in a very satisfactory maimer. -Miss Lctitia Stewart lead a biographical sketch of CIi.ulc:.

But I have been charmed with the fluency of the language as it flowed from their lips. Renewed laughter. New, this is an ad vantage which our language has net. Thcv never hesitate for a word. Laugh ter. They go right along, while we some times arc out of ideas and words both. It is rather rough, taking it all round. Laughter. " But I want te place myself light en the copyright business. I seem te have come here in a very selfish capacity. If I had ceme here simply te save a book, which, pei haps, was net worth leading, from being pirated in Canada, there might be something in it. But that is net the idea at all. I have never had the slightest objection te my books being printed freely in Canada without auy payment te me whatever. The matter that concerns me me is the protection of the American side from the Canadian printed works. If in Canada they would only pirate books and keep theni'lide I could get along very well ; but when they go, as they did once befeie, get the proof sheets from my pub Iisheis, bring out the book before I could, and charge one-sixth el the price I should, I object. Laughter. Therefore, in that beuse, I am opposed te this business of an international copyright as between the United States and Canada. I think that a new country should have an international copyright law for the protection of its own authors and for the building up of its own litcratuic. It is much mere important that Canada should have such a law than it is for elder countries which have an es tablished literature. I think that Canada's best way te build up her literature is te protect herself ,by an international copy right law. When a country as old as the United States has established a litcrature as it has. then you have leally nothing te fear from the iufluence of ether literatures upon the jweplc. Therefore you cau de without an international cepyi ight law. When you are situated as Canada is, in the absence of a copyright law you have the literature of the world at your dis posal, ami therefore your authors have a very small chance. Yeu get the books of all the weild and you get the teachings of all the weild. It is just as if a Protestant family, being without Protestant teach ers, must employ andHnakc use of teach ers of a tiiHcrcMt denomination; the ideas of the new teachers necessarily produce-a marked ellect. Se it is here in Canada. Yeu have English, French and American litcratuic. One result of this is that your Canadian literature is reconstructed, and another result is that by and by you may net have any Canadians at all. Yeu are full or this foreign milk ; you . get your complexion from it ; you are English, French and American per haps. Yeu aie net Canadians at all, except in birth and in name. There fore, 1 think it is much mere impeitant te you that there should be an international copyright than te ether people. Hear, Hear. Seme 0!) or 70 j cars age. when the Uuited States had no literature, but the English, we were simply Americans en the outside with English works en the inside. Laughter and applause. If I had been there at that time I would have worked with all my might for au interna tional copyright for the festering of our American liteiaturc. I confess that if I weie in politics, considering that we have already a literature .sufficiently protected and sullicieutly ample, se that we have no fear of the iuiluence of feieigu literatures, I should think twice before I voted for an international copyright. In politics I should feel that way, but as an author I de what I consider te be my duty te my guild. If 1 wcre in politics I should sink the author in the citizen. We knew the effect a literature has upon a country. It is an cducatieu and you must have it. " But I get up te piopese the health of the chairman. Perhaps you knew the chairman better than I de. If you don't, I can say for him that he is a man whose wise counsels arc hcaid in this nation. He is a man who is in favor of free trade, pro tection, and all sorts of things. Laugh ter. He is a man who will step at nothing loud laughter, whether it is right or wieng, righteous or otherwise, te carry his points, his points being the geed of the ceuutry altogether. Laughter. The annexation of this country te the United States is a tabooed subject, but I have always thought if we ilul net annex you that it would be a geed thing for you te annex us. Laughter, i Then there are ether ways te bring this thing about. It may be brought about by peaceable means by invisible agencies. The chair man has begun the very thiug that may unite these two nations, because he has aeijuiii'd and Ged knows whether he dc seived it or net an American wife. Loud laughter. VLOTHISa. A C.
