but the ten per cent charged on sales was only sutii-cieut to pay some of the running expenses, many needy people had been relieved in this way, and it was suggested that ladies could help by purchasing articles for Christmas pre-pnta at the Exchange.Miss Barber then told of the work of the midnight mission recently begun, and of the need of workers, especially ladies; also of the rescue work at the Sheltering Home.Miss Dougall endeavoured to give a faint impression of the recent great National W.C.T.U.Convention which she and Miss Luun attended as delegates from the Provincial Union.The fraternal delegates were, as usual, treated with great courtesy, being invited to sit upon the platform, and thus having a very favorable opportunity to see and hear everything that went on.The great Metropolitan Opera House, New York, where the meetings were held, is said to be the largest auditorium in the world.Its five tiers of galleries were decorated with flags, and were generally crowded.Each day's service began with a prayer meeting of an hour, and prayer and hymn singing were characteristic of all the meetings.The favorite hymn was \u2018Guide Me, Oh Thou Great Jehovah,\u2019 and one felt it was a prayer, and that these earnest women did indeed desire to be held in the powerful hand of the Almighty.At noon every day all united in the noon-tide prayer of the temperance women which now circles the globe.The delegation represented over 250,-000 women, and came from nearly all the states and territories, Alaska included.Miss Willard gave her annual address.Among other things Miss Willard said \u201cWe are the only temperance society which has specially declared its loyalty to the Prohibition party, and we are to-day the strongest and most successful society in Christendom.Our National W.C.T.U., which during the first eight of its fourteen years duration averaged but a thousand dollars a year, received last year about 811,100, and has this year 821,081.\u2019 On Friday evening a welcome was given by Mayor Hewitt, by General Fisk, and by Mrs.Burt, the President of New York State Union, who had so skillfully made all arrangements for the Convention.The response was given by Mrs.Livermore, who traced the movement from the time when temperance work consisted largely of setting the drunkard upon his feet that he might earn some more mâney for the saloon-keeper, to the time when they began to look for permanent success to the law and its enforcement.\u201cSo it has come out at last, step by step, we learning by stumbling and making mistakes, that at last we are where we are, standing on the platform of complete prohibition, endeavoring to make the public^ntiment as we go.\u201d A banner was then presented, and brief addresses were given by ex-Gov.St.John and Mrs.Mary F.Lathrap.Saturday evening was given to the Y.W.C.T.U.; and the platform was filled with young ladies, while Mrs.Barnes presided.A welcome was given by Arthur Dougall Cochrane, the leader of the Junior Prohibition Club movement in the name of the nine clubs of New York City, the thirty-one of the State, and the seventy-five of the nation, offering the \\\u2019s their political support in this warfare and asking the young ladies\u2019 moral support.Miss Ida Clothier, of Massachusetts, responded in her own bright way, and presented Mr.Cochrane, on behalf of the ladies, with a large hoquet of white roses tied with white ribbon.Mr.Blaikie spoke on Athletics, telling the girls they should walk and skate \u201cand then when you go to the Montreal Carnival just look at those Canadian lasses\u2014they will show you how to skate ; there are blooming cheeks and bright eyes and lithsome figures.\u201d On Sunday Miss Greenwood, whose addresses are well remembered in Montreal, preached the Convention sermon.In the afternoon Miss Willard, Dr.Kate Bushnell, and Hope Ledyard, spoke on Social Purity and kindred topics, and in the evening Bishop Samuel Fallows, of the Reformed Episcopal Church of Chicago, preached a remarkable sermon on the need of the ecclesiastical emancipation of women, telling of the cry going up from heathen lands for a woman ministry and calling on all churches to admit women with their \u201cgifts, graces -_ajid usefulness to the holy ministry of love and life.\u201d At the close of the sermon Miss Willard remarked, \u201cWe will have that sermon printed and scattered by thousands and tens of thousands all over the country.\u201d Paris Mantles.NEW NEW NEW NEW NEW MANTLES MANTLES MANTLES MANTLES MANTLES This importation of Mantles being larger than previous years, enables us to sell all kinds of Mantles at lower prices than ever.S CARSLEY.Paris Dolmans.DOLMANS DOLMANS DOLMANS DOLMANS DOLMANS Ladies who intend buying a Dolman should examine those handsome Baris Dolmans, imported for fall and winter wear, all the latest styles.S.CARSLEY New Jackets.MILLITARY JACKETS MILL1TARY JACKETS MILLITARY JACKETS MILLITARY JACKETS MILLITARY JACKETS Jackets in all styles, early selections always more satisfactory as you have the benefit of a larger variety to select from.The above goods are selling exceedingly fast, being marked below their value.S.CARSLEY.RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN RUSSIAN CIRCULARS CIRCULARS CIRCULARS CIRCULARS CIRCULARS Just received and put in stock, several lines of New Russian Circulars in striped, checked, mixed colors, also plain and fancy, at exceedingly low prices.S.CARSLEY.NEW PATENT BRUSSELS NEW PATENT BRUSSELS NEW PATENT BRUSSELS NEW PATENT BRUSSELS NEW PATENT BRUSSELS A very handsome assortment of New Patent Unisse.a Carpets, just received to sell at 50c per yard and upwards.These goods are equal in appearance to best Five Frame Brussels.W.C T.U.Statistics.The National Woman\u2019s Christian Terapersnce Union, which last week closed its annual meeting in this city, has in New York State alone more than twenty thousand uiemliers.The statistical standing of the order throughout this country for the past year was reported as follows : No.of Unions, 7,371 : membership, IR4,243;

and while he was standing there steps slow\u2019ly approached from a part of the piazza which was usually in utter darkness, and which was known as the \u201c lovers\u2019 retreat.\u201d As the figures passed a lighted window he recognized them, and was also observed.He was too angry and j.alous now to carry out his purpose, and returned to the general hallway.Here he was joined a moment later by Miss \\Vildmereand Mr.Arnault, and the former began to chat with him in imperturbable ease, while the gentleman bowed and sought another partner for the waltz that was about to be danced.Graydon would not show his chagrin under the many eyes directid toward them, but she never- theless saw his anger in the cold expression of his eyes, and realized her danger.She ignored everything with inimitableskillandsweetness, and there was nothing for him to do but take her out with the others.Indeed, it almost instantly became his policy to convince observers that their surmises were without foundation.He determined that the girl should show him all the favor his rival had enjoyed, or else\u2014a sudden flash of his eyea indicated to his observant companion that all her skill would be required.She was graciousuess itself, aud when Arnault could not observe her, stole swiftly and almost pleading glances into her partner\u2019s eyes.Another observed her, however.Madge did come down at last, for she had concluded that the memorable day should not close until she had one more glimpse of the problem which hadgrown so dark and hopeless.Graydon soon observed her standing iu the doorway, but then she was talking and laughing with a lady friend.A moment later she glided out on the floor with one of a half dozen who had besn w siting for the favor.Graydon sought to catch her eye, but did not succeed.Againahe made upon hia mind the impression of troubled perplexity, but his purpose was uppermost, and he was bent on carrying it out.\u201d \u201c Come,\u201d he said to Miss Wildmere, in quiet tones, \u201cI should enjoy a stroll on the piazza, the room has grown ao warm aud close.\u201d Feeling that she must yield, she did so with ready grace and apparent willingness, and Graydon led her out through the mam entrance, that it might be observed that he received no less favor than had been given to another.\u201c She is playing them both pretty strong,\u201d whispered one of the committee, before referred to, that sits perpetually on the phases of life at such resorts.\u201c 1 feared you would not be very patient,\u201d said Miss Wildmere, in a low tone.\u201c I said I would be reasonably patient,\u201d was the reply.\u201c Reason again.\u201d \u201c Yes, Miss Wildmere ; I think 1 can justly say that I am endowed with both heart and reason.There are some questions in life that demand both.\" \u201cPlease do not speak so coldly.You do not understand.\u201d \u201c I wish I did.\u201d \u201c Be patient and you will.After maintaining friendship true and strong for years, it hurts me to be mis judged now.\u201d \u201c But, Miss Wildmere\u2014\u201d he began, impetuously.\u201cHush,\u201d she said, hastily; then added, a little coldly.\u201c If 1 am not worthy of a little trust 1 am not worthy of anything.\u201d Graydon was touched to J;he quick.Honorable himself, he felt that he was acting meanly and suspiciously\u2014that his jealousy and irritation were leading him to unmanly conduct.There was some reason for Iter course, which would be explained eventually, and he ought not to ask a woman to be his wife at all unless he could trust her.Therefore lie said, humbly ; \u201c 1 beg your pardon.In my heart 1 believe you worthy of all trust.1 will wait and be as patient as you desire, since l know that you cannot have failed to understand.\u201d Then he added, with a deprecating laugh.\u201c There are times, I suppose, when all men are a little blind and unreasonable.\u201d \u201c Heaven keep him blind !\u201d she thought, yet she winced under his honest w\u2019ords in their contrast with herself.\u201cI hope some day to prove worthy of your trust,\u201d she breathed, softly, and looked in dread into the darkness lest in some way her words should reach Arnault.\u201cCome, please,\u201d she added, with a gentle presure on his arm, \u201c let us return, or the hotel may be closed upon us.\u201d \u201c Please give me all the time you can,\u2019 pleaded Graydon, as they paused at the door.Looking within, she saw Arnault with his back toward them, and said, hastily, and as if impulsively, \u201c 1 will, all that l can.Possibly my regret will be deeper than yours that I cannot give you more.\u201d \u201c You should know that that is not possible,\u201d he said, in low, earnest tones.Then he added, in a whisper, as she was entering, \u201c I can trust you now and wait.\u201d \u201c My good fortune is still in the ascendant,\u201d was her thought ; \u201c 1 can still keep him in hand, in spite of papa and Mr.Arnault.\u201d \u201cHer father\u2019s relations with Mr.Arnault must give him some hold upon her,\u201d he thought, \u201c and for her father's sake she cannot yield to me at once, but she will eventually.\" Mr.Arnault came forward with smiling lips, light words, yet resolute eyes.Graydon felt that he had received all the assurance that he needed,\u2014that she was under some necessity of keeping his rival in good-humor,\u2014 so he smiled significantly into her eyes, and bowed himself away.\u201c Muir looked as if he had received all the comfort that he required.\u201d Arnault said, as they strolled across the parlor, now deserted.\u201c Hid he ?Well, he did not require very much.\u201d \u201c How much ?\u201d \u201c You had better ask him.\" \u201c Stella,\u201d he said, aud there was a suggestion of menace in his tone, \u201cI\u2019m in earnest now.You will soon have to choose between us.\u201d \u201c Shall 1 ?\u201d she replied, bending upon him an arch, bewildering smile.\u201c Then please don\u2019t speak as if I had no choice at all and she was going.\u201c Wait,\u201d he said.\u201c Will you drive with me to-morrow ?\u201d \u201c Yes.Is there anything else your lordship would like ?\u2019\u2019 He seized her hand, and held it in both his.\u201cThis,\u201d he said.\u201c Is that all ?\u201d was her laughing reply, as she withdrew it.\u201c I wish you had more of Mr.Muir's diffidence ;\u201d and she vanished before be could speak again.Graydon found that Madge had retired, so that theie was no chance for him to speak to her that night ; but his mind was in too happy a tumult to give her much thought.CHAPTER XVI.DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.Mrs.Muir came into Madge\u2019s room for a bit of the gossip that she dearly loved, but, as usual, obtained little information or surmise from the young girl.\u201cI\u2019m glad you came down,\u201d s ie said, \u201c if only to prove to Graydon that you were not up stairs.\" \u201c Why should I mope up-stairs ?\u201d Madire asked, with a keen look at her sister.\u201cNo reason that I know of, only Graydon has been slightly spoiled by his success among ladies, and society men are always imag.niiig that girls are languishing for them.\u201d \u201c Have I given him or any one such an impression ?\" Madge again inquired indignantly.\u201c Oh no, indeed ! On the contrary, you seem so indifferent as not to be quite natural.Even Graydon feels it, and is perplexed and troubled.He was inquiring for you during the evening and I told him you were kindly caring for Jack, so that 1 might have a little fresh air with Henry on the piazza.\u201d \u201c There it is again,\u2014perplexed and troubled.I\u2019m sick of being misunderstood so ridiculously.The scraps of time that he gives me when Miss Wild-mere does not fill his eyes and thought* are employed in criticism.Why should I perplex and trouble him ?I have told him to please himself with Miss Wildmere\u2014that I should certainly please myself in my choice of friends, and he as a man assuredly had a right to do the same.He will soon be engaged to her, and probably ia already, but he baa no right to demand that I should receive this girl with open arms.She already detests me, and I do not admire her.It\u2019s none of my business, but if I were a man 1 wouldn\u2019t stand her flirtation with Mr.Arnault.Even the people in the house are observing it with significant smiles.He must get over the impression that I\u2019m the weak, limp child in mind or body that he left.I'm an independent woman, and have as much right to my thoughts and ways as he to his.If he wants my society, let him treat me with natural friendliness.If he's afraid to do it\u2014if Miss Wildmere won\u2019t let him\u2014rest assured I won't receive any furtive, deprecatory attentions.1 sip abundantly able to take care of myself in my own way.\" \u201c O Madge, you have so changed 1 Before you went sway the sun seemed to rise and set in Graydon.\" \u201c Well, the sun now rises in the west and sets in the east\u2014 What am I saying ?Well, perhaps it's true for me, after all.In the West 1 gained the power to live a strong, resolute life of my own choosing, and he msy as well recognize the truth first as last.Let him give all his thoughts to Mias Wildmere.From what 1 see and have heard she will keep them busy before and after marriage.\u201d \u201c He\u2019s not engaged to her yet ; he said so positively.\u201d \u201c Oh, well,\u201d Madge replied, with well-assumed indifference, although her heart bounded at the tidings, \u201c it's only a question of time.There, we've talked enough about her.Of course 1 remember Graydon's old kindness, and all that : and if he would treat me with frank and sensible frienllineas, I should enjoy his society ?Why not ?\u201d \u201c 1 thought he regarded you as his sister.\u201d \u201c Sister, indeed 1 I\u2019m Henry\u2019s sister, not his.I\u2019m only an object of criticism, of perplexity, a sphinx, and all that kind of nonsense.He was bent on seeing s 4 little ghost, ' as he used to call me.I'm not a hit of a ghost, and have as much-proud blood in my veins as he has.\u201d \u201c Well, Madge, I\u2019m glad you feel that you are Henry's sister.He likes and admires you so much that I\u2019m half jealous.\u201d \u201c Henry and I understand each other.Ho thinks I\u2019m sensible, and 1 certainly think he is.Good-night now, dear.It\u2019s after twelve, and I wish you a merry Fourth of July ; I mean to have one.\u201d Graydon had not found himself in s sleeping mood until the shadows of of night were almnst ready to depart, and so came down very late.Mrs.Wildmere, who was on the piazza with her child, iiifortni»d him, with a deprecatory smile, that St gone to drive with Mr.Arnault.He bit his lip, and went to make a leisurely breakfast.By the time he had finished, Madge came in with a party of young people who had been on a ramble.Her greeting was friendly, but nothing more, and having received a long letter from Mrs.Wayland, she took it to a small summer-house.Graydon Siam strayed after her in a listless way, and in no very amiable humor.The greater anxiety had swallowed up the less, and his perturbed thoughts shout Madge were now following a light carnage on the wild mountain road.His generous glow of feeling of the night before had passed somewhat, and he was inclined to think that Miss Wildmere * relations to Arnault, whatever they were,placed him, a committed lover, in a rather anomalous position.Since she was absent, however he would while sway an hour with Madge, and try to solve the riddle she had become.She greeted him with a slight smile, and went on with her letter.He watched her curiously, and with contracting brow.\u201c Will you ever finish that letter f he soon asked.\u201c|l can read it aome other time,\u201d i said, laying it down.44 Oh, that is asking too much 1\u201d \u201c la it ?\" \u201c Confound it, Madge 1\u201d Why is it that we are drifting farther and farther apart every day ?\u201d 441 am not drifting,\u201d she said,quietly \u201c nor do you give that impression.1 am just where you found me on your return.Since we are so far apart you must he doing the journeying.\u201d 44 Well Heaven knows 1 found distant enough !\u201d 44 1 beg your pardon ; Heaven knows nothing of the kind.It\u2019s not my fault that you value friendship so lightly.\u201d 44 You know 1 wish for so much more.\" \u201c You thought you did at first,Gray-don,\" she replied, with a quiet smile, 44 but 1 imagine that you soon became quite reconciled to my view of the case.The relation would surely prove embarrassing to you.Haven\u2019t you since thought that it might ?\" she asked, with sweet directness.He colored visibly, and was provoked at himself that he did.44 If you persist in being at swords\u2019 points with Miss Wildmere\u2014\u201d he bijgan, hesitst ingly.441 persist in being simply myself, and true to my own perceptions.Wherein have I failed iu courtesy toward Miss Wildmere?\u201d \u201c But you dislike her most cordially.\u201d 44 And you like her most cordially, and more.Have 1 not granted your perfect right to do so ?\u201d \u201c If you were even the friend you claim to be, you would not be so indifferent.\u201d 441 have not said 1 was indifferent.Miss Wildmere is far from indifferent to me.What have 1 done to gain her ill-well ?\u201d 44 Much, as human nature goes.You have made yourself her rival in atti activeness.\" \u201c Is that human nature 1 If that is the cause of her hostility I should say it is Miss Wildmere's nature.\u201d 44 Let us change the subject,\u201d said Graydon, a little irritably.\u201c We shall not agree on this point, I fear ; you share in Henry\u2019s prejudices.\" 44 I did not intrëduce the subject, Graydon, and I think for my self.\u201d 44 Hang it all, Madge ! you are so changed 1 scarcely know you.Every time we meet I find you more of s conundrum.Friend, indeed ! You certainly have been a distant one in every sense.If I had been the friend you say 1 was, you would have written me about the marvellous transformation you were accomplishing.\u201d (To be

and also to what extent the demand for novels of any kind preponderates over the demands for all other kinds of books put together.We assume that this would be the order of the analysis as it has been the uniform experience in all the great public libraries of England and the United States where strict computations are annully made.We do not think that Sherbrooke would be found to be an exception to the general rule, but an analysis of the kind would have a great value.It would show whether the demand for the best books is increasing ordecreas ing.If the former should turn out to be the case the friends of the Association would be encouraged ; and if the latter, they would be stirred up to adopt some means, by lectures or otherwise, to advance the principal object for which the library has its existence.If a public library should be anything it should be what Carlyle termed it, namely \u201c a great free university.\u201d It should be an educating force in a community, awakening and sustaining intellectual and moral power and not merely affording enter tainment for idle hours.By what means, then, can a public library be made to fulfil its chief purpose l How will the taste for good reading be best developed ?Unques tionably by proving that all historical works are not ponderous, that all books on science are not dry and that every work of scholarly enquiry is not necessarily too abstruse for the general reader.This can be accomplished\u2014and chiefly with the aid of popular lectures\u2014by creating an interest in those works which present a study or a science in the most attractive shape There are hundreds who might be led to useful study by having their interest aroused in the proper way.Le Progrès de l\u2019Est, In an article of ours published two weeks ago the following remarks appeared : \u201cAgain, addressing ourselves more directly to the Proyres de l\u2019Est, which has been so ready to attack our motives we would like to ask who sent the telegram to l\u2019Electeur of Quebec misrepresenting Mr.Justice Brooks\u2019s remarks with reference to Donald Morrison Î We have been told, on very good authority, who sent the telegram and have been unable to restrain our surprise that the Progrès de l\u2019Est should undertake to rebuke l\u2019Electeur in that affair.\u201d Lpon this Mr.L.C.Belanger considers himself as having been referred to, and in the next issue of tho Progrès appears the following : \u201cOur confrere, the Examiner, asks Le Progrès de l\u2019Est who sent to l\u2019Electeur of Quebec the telegram misrepre seuting the remarks of Mr.Justice Brooks with reference to Donald Morrison.It adds, \u2018We have been told, on very good authority, who sent the telegram, and we have been unable to restrain our surprise that the Progrès de l\u2019Est should have undertaken to rebuke VElecteur in that affair.\u2019 \u201cWe deny to the Examiner the right of asking us who has sent that message, if such message has been sent at all, which fact we ignore.But in order to calm the \u2018surprise\u2019 of our suspicious confrere, we will tell him that the Progrès de l\u2019Est and all its staff, from the lowest to the highest, had nothing whatever to do with such message or communication to l\u2019Electeur The insinuation of our confrere is absolutely unfounded and we summon him to retract or give proof.It would have been, however, so easy to secure information before giving publicity to this new calumny ol the reptiles.The Progrès de l\u2019Est was first to render justice to Mr.Justice Brooks and caused other journals who had attacked him to also render him justice.Mr.Justice Brooks knew all about the matter, and those who insinuated that the attack came from us are miserable calumniators.\u201d From this it appears that it is denied that any person connected with the Progrès de l\u2019Est had anything to do with sending any such despatch to l\u2019Electeur.It now seems that this denial is correct, and that no such despatch was sent to l\u2019Electeur.In answer to our confrere\u2019s summons to retract we \u2018find ourselves under the necessity of doing so, which we do.No such telegram was sent to VElecteur In addition to the summons of our confrere to retract we also had a visit from L.C.Belanger, Esq., at our office, who considers himself personally referred to in our first paragraph referring to Le Progrès de l\u2019Est.He assured us that he had nothing whatever to do with Le Progrès de VEst, and that the article which appeared in l\u2019Electeur must have been caused by a misconstruction of a telegram sent by him to the Attorney-General, and which will be found below in the article quoted from the VElecteur, we adding the name of the sender which l\u2019Electeur did not append, Mr.Belanger himself giving us a copy.\u201ca word of explanation with regard TO JUDGE BROOKS.\u201d \u201cOn the first of Oct.the opening of the Criminal Court at Sherbrooke, the Hon.Arthur Turcotte, Attorney-General received the following telegram : Sherbrooke, 1st Oct., 1888.Hon.A.Turcotte, Quebec, (Telegram).\u201cIn his charge to the \u201cGrand Jury to-day Judge said that \u201cthe fact that Momson and Lamon-\u2018tagno are still at.large is not credit- \u201cable to Executive of the Province ; \u201cthis matter should be taken up and \u201cvigorous measurea'adopted.\u201d (Signed) L.C.Belanger.This attack by a judge upon the government appeared to us so extraordinary, that we thought it our duty to censure it severely in our issue of the 3rd of Oct.The Progrès de VEst tells us to-day that the expressions of the Judge were misunderstood that he spoke of the Executive as understood in legal circles, that is of the staff connected with the administration of justice and not the Executive of the Province.Very true, but it will he admitted that the Judge\u2019s expressions lent themselves to an equivocal interpretation, and appeared to be in keeping with the daily attacks made by the tory press on the Government with regard to the Morrison matter.We regret this misunderstanding all the more sincerely as it was not of our making.\u201d It appears that it was this telegram to the Attorney-General which caused VElecteur\u2019s article; and now there are just two points deserving of notice.First, the Att\u2019y-Gen.must have communicated the contents of said telegram to l\u2019Electeur not as a matter connected with departmental administration but as a means of \u201cadopting\u201d the \u201cvigorous measures\u201d desired.Secondly, that in so doing the Attorney-General evidently understood the telegram was announcing an unwarrantable attack by Judge Brooks on the Executive of the Province.If an interpretation has been placed upon this telegram different from that which Mr.Belanger intended, it should be apparent to him that the responsibility for that misunderstanding rests either with those who received it or with the ambiguous character of the message itself.In justice, however, to Mr.Belanger, we may add that he (Mr.Belanger) assures us that he simply meant to request that vigorous measures be adopted to secure the arrest of Morrison and La-montagne._____________________ The Sherbrooke Gazette of last week, in a tearful and smiling article two columns long, expresses fears that the Examiner is about to take that place with reference to the Conservative party which the Gazette appears to have lost by its unreliability.The cause of the Gazette's fears is the fact that we had too much regard for the dignity of journalism to indulge in abuse of the Pope banquet.We said of it that while the political portions of the speeches were subject to great discount there could be no mistake but that, considered as a tribute of personal respect towards the Hon.Mr.Pope, the banquet was a success.The Gazette, however, omits to quote the first part of our sentence and finds in the last a proof that we have joined the \u201chappy family of the Conservatives\u2019\u2019 in this district.Now we beg to assure the Gazette that it has no cause for alarm so far as we are concerned.Its own course has lost the confidence of the Conservative party, but we have no intention of stepping into its place.The Examiner proposes to continue its usual independent course without reference to the rewards or punishments of either party We will, as heretofore, advocate those opinions and principles which we consider best for the country at large.We will give praise where we think it is due ; we will not withhold blame when it is merited.This course is difficult to be understood by some people, and judging by it^ article of last week we feel constrained to think that the ideslof independent journalism has never come within the scope of the Gakette\u2019s thoughts.by re-electing our President and our Secretary.We appoint the former simply to remind us \u201cwhen in doubt\u201d that we are a \u201chead\u201d ; the latter (the Secretary, 1 mean) keeps the scores.At the end of the season each member gives the Secretary a coin of a fixed value and with the whole sum he purchases four presents ; one for the lady with the highest score and a \u201cbooby\u201d for the one with the lowest.The other two prizes are similarly disposed of amongst the gentlemen.In these results, however, I take less interest than in studying the little peculiarities of my fellow-beings which come to the surface so simply and naturally when they are absorbed in the game of whist.\tFelix.THE LUMBER TRADE.Chat on Current Events- The most remarkable novels published this year are \u201cRobert Elsmere\u201d and \u201cJohn Ward, Preacher.\u201d They do not deal with the marvellous, however, like those of Ryder Haggard, nor in the routine like those of Robt.Louis Stevenson.They belong to the class known as philosophical novels and deal with the highest subjects which can be discussed by man.They are readable, however, not only for their intellectual wealth, but for the beautiful human?stories which run through each.They are both written by women.\u201cRobert Elsmere\u201d is by Mrs.Humphrey Ward, a niece of the late Matthew Arnold ; and \u201cJohn Ward, Preacher,\u201d by Margaret Deland, an American authoress.The former book was criticized by Mr.Gladsone in the Nineteenth Century in an article twenty two pages long ; and the American book came in for commendations from Archdeacon Farrar.Both books deal with the deeper problems of Christian religion but from different standpoints.Robert Els-mere represents a sceptical development ; John Ward, the struggles of faith.Both are works of undoubted ability and are bound to effect to some extent the thought of the time one way or the other, but after all no matter how interesting it may be made by wealth of diction and imagery, the philosophical novel is untrue to art.A story should be a story, reflecting if you like the thought of thq time, but it should not be the vehicle of a theological treatise.I have my doubts as to whether the re-organization of the Whist Club in our village should be classed as a current event or not.However it is an event with us and I made no promises about the kinds of events I shall treat of in this space except that the trivial would be excluded.Now surely nobody at this time of day will consider the game of whist\u2014the respect able game of whist ever surrounded with high-stepping associations\u2014as a trivial subject.A science which has been made precise by a Hoyle, a Cavendish, a Captain Morgan, a Captain Crawley, and a Pole (who was an F.R.S, and a Mus.Doc.Oxon.) is not to be made light of by unthinking minds.It was this feeling which held our clubs together so firmly during last winter without the aid of formal by-laws.We felt that we did not meet at one another's houses every Wednesday night for mere amusement, but were part of a worldwide guild which has, silently and unobtrusively, doue as much perhaps, to raise man intellectually, morally and socially as any other form of, education.Hear what Pole saith with regard to its moral snd social influences : \u201cWhist has been called, by those who do not understand it, an unsocial game ; but nothing can be more untrue.It is a perfect microcosm\u2014a complete minature society in itself.Each player has one friend, to whom he is bound by the strongest ties of mutual interest and sympathy ; but he has twice the number of enemies, against whose machinations he is obliged to keep perpetual guard.He must give strict adherence to the established laws and the conventional courtesies of his social circle ; he is called on for candid and ingenious behaviour ; he must exercise moderation in prosperity, patience in adversity, hope in doubtful fortune, humility when in error, forbearance to the faults of his friends, self-sacrifice for his allies, equanimity under the success of his adversaries, and general good temper throughout all his transactions,\u201d Poie was wise when he said general instead of perfect good temper.Mrs.Felix is possessed of one of the mildest and sweetest dispositions imaginable, but I have seen a strange light in her eyes when a green partner failed to return trumps and especially when it became plain later on that he could have done it quite easily.However, to return to our subject, we have re-organized the club for this winter (From our Boston correspondent.) The political campaign is over and people are settling down into ordinary business pursuits.There has not been time enough however for trade to develop itself, the election and other uncertainty attending it having thoroughly broken up the week.Taken as a whole there has not been much change in the lumber market.The demand has naturally been moderate.Prices are unchanged and there is an improving demand at the close of the week.The demand for eastern and northern lumber during the week has been good and some good sales have been effected.The receipts have been rather light but there is sufficient stock for all purposes.Yard men will now begin to buy for stocking up purposes quite brisk unless signs fail.There is a fairly good demand for spruce lumber during the week.Spruce boards have been in fair demand at steady prices.Clapboards have sold fairly.Laths are in good demand at fair prices.Hemlock boards are doing fairly well.Shingle hold firm in the market but prices rule in favor of the buyer this week.Boston, Nov.12,\tW.Westby.Box 1791.\t« 00MMUNI0ATI0NS.[We do not hold ourselves responsible for the riews of our correspondents.] Lennoxville.To the Editor of the Examiner.Sir,\u2014Knowing the great interest you take in the progress of this country and more especially of your immediate neighborhood, I have ventured again to address you.Since I last wrote you I notice that some little progress has been made towards improving our village.The council, I suppose, have been cleaning out the ditches, etc., but have not done anything towards improving the sidewalks.Why is it that they appear to be averse to any improvements ?I am told that the proprietor of the College house made a most spirited offer to provide lamps and oil for one year provided the council would put up the posts, etc., but his offer was rejected.It is about time that a change took place.The village is now one of the most important stations on the C.P.R.between Megantic and Montreal and demands that such improvements must be made and not held up to ridicule by strangers and commercial men who visit the place.We have got one little green spot fenced in, around the flag staff, which has been done through the energy of one gentleman ; may it ever remain a green spot in his memory in spite of the grave remarks of those who are willing to have others do what they would like to do themselves.Go on, sir, and remember that from little acorns big oaks grow.This is only the beginning, and in time we hope to see the village lighted with electric light and a park, with rural walks extending out in all directions from the village, so that it will be possible to take an enjoyable walk without being covered with mud from head to foot.Index.Tho Harmony Quartette of Sherbrooke at Quebec.Our singers who went to Quebec last week had a very cordial reception The following from the Daily Chroni cle of that city speakes for itself : \u201cThose who failed to attend the con cert given last night in the Hall of the Y.M.C.A.by the Harmony Quartette of Sherbrooke, jmissed indeed a very rare treat.Despite the inclemency of the weather the hall was well tilled.The members of the quartette were introduced to the audience by John C, Thomson, Esq., President of the Association, and the Bridal Chorus from Cowen\u2019s \u201c Rose Maiden,\u201d was admirably rendered by Mrs.Geo.Ar-mitage, soprano, Dora Daigneau, contralto, Mr.Geo.Armitage, tenor, and Mr.Jas.P.Keough, basso.The voices blended beautifully together, and the chorus was deservedly applauded.In Smart\u2019s duet \u201c When the wind blows in from the sea,\u201d Mrs.Armitage and Mr.Keough were extremely successful, and in response to an enthusiastic demand for an encore, they gave \u201c The Lesson,\u201d a pretty little selection, in naive and attractive manner, which quite brought down the house.Mr.Armitage sung White\u2019s \u201c Marguerite,\u201d in pleasing style, and then came the quartette by Co wen, \u201cThe Bee and the Dove,\u201d the performers being the same as in the open ing chorus.This part song was rendered without accompaniment, and in such excellent style that an encore was called for.\u201cThe Old Canoe,\u201d also sung without accompaniment, was given by the same performers, and was one of the gems of the evening.Mrs.Armitage, who had already captivated the audience, was loudly applauded on coming forward to give The Wreck of the Hesperus,\u201d her song being Blockley\u2019s setting of Longfellow\u2019s verses.The feeling which she threw into this attractive piece of work earned a loud demand for an encore, which caled forth \u201c Rockaby Baby.\" The remaining items of the first part of the programme were \u201cThe Mariners,\u201d a trio by Randegger, given by Mrs.Armitage and Messrs.Armitage and Keough and \u201cThe Watcher,\u201d by Geibel, rendered with a good deal of feeling by Miss Hopkirk.In the second part, \u201c A Spring Song,\u201d by Pinsuti, was given as a quartette, with out accompaniment, by Mr.and Mrs.Armitage, Miss Daigneau and Mr Keough.For an encore they gave \u201c Far from the old Folks at Home,\u201d in which, as may well be imagined, their voices blended most harmonious 1 y.The last item on the programme, \u201cQ Hush Thee My Babie,\u201dby Sullivan, was also given as a part song without accompaniment, and was one of the sweetest pieces of the evening.We must notice to the duet by Mr.and Mrs.Armitage, \u201c The Fishermen,\u201d the fine tenor of Mr.Armitage appearing here to better advantage, perhaps, than in any other item of the programme.It was loudly encored, as also was Mr.Keough\u2019s bass song, \u201c The Bugler,\u201d which followed, his deep resonant voice being very much admired.The Quartette gave a sacred concert Saturday evening which was equally as highly appreciated, and the people promise them a hearty reception should they again visit Quebec.In the October Amerciait, Magazine the series of illustrated articles on \u2018America\u2019s Crack Regiments\u2019 was begun with a history of the famous Seventh of New York.In November, it is the turn of the Twenty third of Brooklyn.This regiment is said to be the pet and pride of the City of Churches, and an account of the organization should make interesting reading.The regiment has a proud record, and the article naturally devotes much space to that period when it in no sense simply played at soldiering.Telephone Extension- WORK OF THE BELL COMPANY DURING THE SEASON JUST CLOSED.With the exception of a new line between Toronto, Hamilton and London, to be worked on a long-distance system, the Bell Telephone company has nearly completed an unusally heavy season\u2019s work in the way of extensions to the system, and the officers report having used this year, in the Ontario department alone, oyer 13,-000 poles, and 1,600 miles of wire, most of which is copper.The principal new lines built were from Toronto to Artour via Orangeville ; Orillia to Waubaushene, and Barrie to Midland and Penetanguishene ; Owen Sound to Hanover ; Wingham so Kincardine; Teeswater to London via Wingham, Clinton and Lucan, with branch to Parkhill ; and in the province of Quebec, Moutreal to three Rivers ; Montreal to Dorval and Valois ; La-prairie to St.Johns ; Bedford to Cowansville andKnowlton.Additional wires have also been put up between Toronto and Oshawa, Berlin and Stratford, and Listowel and Harriston ; and the following new exchanges and agences opened, viz :\u2014In Ontario : Ailsa Crag, Bolton, Caledon, Chesley Coldwater, Elmvale, Elmwood, Exeter, Fesserton, Grand Valley,Lucan.Lucknow, Parkhill, Phelpstone, Tara, Teeswater, Tottenham and Wood-bridge ; and in Quebec ; Bedford, Ber-thier, Charlemagne, Dorval, Juliette, Knowlton, L\u2019Assomption, Louiseville, Stanbridge, East Stanhope, and Valois.Connecting offices have also been opened at Centreville, Croydon, Grafton, Kingston Mills and Roblin, in Ontario.In the Lower Provinces Lines are being constructed from St.John to Moncton via Rothesay ; from Moncton to Dorchester, and work on line from Fredericton to St.John will be commenced at an early date.$1,000 a Day.THE ENORMOUS FEES RECEIVED BY DR.MACKENZIE FROM GERMANY.London, Nov.12.\u2014When Dr.Mackenzie went to attend the Emperor Frederick, at Charlottenburg, he placed before the powers that managed the financial affairs of the Imperial household a schedule of his regular earnings in London.He stated that the fee from the Emperor ought at least to counterbalance the sum he was losing in London.The figures of Mackenzie\u2019s were subsequently endorsed, and he received an enormous salary, considerably over $1,000 a day at the start, and nearly $2,000 toward the end of the Emperor\u2019s illness.An income of $1,000 a day to a German physician is a dream beyond the wildest fancy of avarice, and when they saw that an Englishman was receiving more money than all the German doctors put together, the commercial spirit of the Kaiser's people wasarousedin antagonism to the shrewd alien.A great deal of secrecy was always maintained about the remuneration of Sir Morrell Mackenzie, but the facti leaked out nevertheless.It may have been true that Mackenzie\u2019s services were worth in the neighbourhood of $1,500 a day, but the Germans did not think so.I have often been at Mackenzie\u2019s house, near Cavendish square, in London, and I do not hesitate to say that his income must be close to $100,000 a year from his practice in the British metropolis.The house is literally crowded with people from the moment his office hours begin until they close.One Blnek Dro|>.Byron was wise when he wrote \u201cA drop

AT RACING SPEED.New York, Nov.12.\u2014That Queen of ocean racers, the Cunarder Umbria, collided with the Fabre Line steamer Iberia about four miles off Lung Beach Hotel, just beyond Rockaway Saturday atternoon at 1.10 o\u2019clock.The Iberia is badly damaged, having her whole stern cut off.The Umbria, after taking off the crew of thirty men from the disabled vessel, and lying by all night, came up to her dock yesterday morning for repairs.The Umbria was but slightly injured and came back to her dock merely as a precautionary measure.All the marks she bore of the ugly wound she gave the Iberia was a queer triangular, ragged edge hole in ner collision bulkhead, in its largest dimension about six by three feet.The captain of the Iberia, said Mr.Elkwell, says that the Umbria was running at the rate of 17 miles an hour.She came upon the Iberia almost without warning, and struck her on the port side left.She cut clear through and came out the other side.The after part of the vessel, which was about one-third of the ship, was swept aw'ay out to sea and sank, no one knows where.The remainder of the ship floated, owing to the presence of the air-tight compartments in the bow.Igj^In making

town hall here on Sunday evening.The pastors of the Congre-gationai, Methodist, Presbyterian and Adventist churches withdrew their usual evening services and all repaired to the town hall to listen to address by Mr.John A.Nicholls, lecturer for the Quebec Board of the Dominion Alliance.After singing by the choir, which was made up of singers from each of the church choirs, and ably led by Prof.Stevens, assisted also by Prof.Lane, who accompanies Mr.Nicholis, prayer was offered by the Rev.Mr.Lawson, the Scriptures read by the Rev.Mr.Sanderson, and then the speaker of the evening was called upon by Mr.A.Macallum, who occupied the chair, and delivered a most brilliant and telling address of over an hour and a quarter in length.The silly arguments to which the liquor party are driven were most mercilessly and fully exposed, and the duty of every lover of his fellowmen clearly pointed out.The address, or sermon, the gifted speaker taking for his text the twenty-third verse of the fifth chapter of Isaiah, was listened to with almost breathless attention to the end, only occasionally the vast audience\u2014 for the hall was packed\u2014found vent in bursts of applause.The singing was also of a high order, as indeed might be expected with the well known high order of musical talent in Danville together with two professors from abroad.Thanks were tendered them for their excellent music, and a rising vote of thanks to the lecturer which brought the entire audieuce to their feet as far as could be seen.A liberal collection was taken up to aid the work of the campaign.Meetings are arranged to be held throughout the country during the week, and another is to be held in the Danville town hall on Sunday evening next.To Oup Readers We cannot too strongly urge upon our readers the necessity of subscribing for a family weekly newspaper of the first class\u2014such, for instance, as The Independent, of New York.Were we obliged to select one publication for habitual and careful reading to the exclusion of all others, we should choose unhesitatingly The Independent.It is a newspaper, magazine and review, all in one.It is a religious, a literary, an educational, a story, an art, a scientific, «.agricultural, a financial, and a political paper combined.It has 32 folio pages and 21 departments.No matter what a person's religion, politics or profession may bo, no matter what the age, sex, employment or condition may be, The Independent will prove a help, an instructor, an educator.Our readers can do no less than to send a postal for a free specimen copy, or for thirty cents the paper will be sent a month, enabling one to judge of its merits more critically.Its yearly subscription is 83.00, or two years for 85.00.Address, The

argues that all provincial acts authorizing the construction of railways which cross or touch those lines w hich were declared by the Dominion act of 1883 to be works for the general advantage of Canada, are ultra vires.This makes it all the more necessary that all the provinces should take part in the argument shortly to be heard by the Supreme court on the Manitoba crossings case.If Mr.Wells\u2019s contention is correct, the power of provincial legislatures to charter railways has been swept away completely, and if such is the effect of the act of 1883 then that act must be repealed.\u2014Ottawa Free Press.J^Tn the Dress Goods department Landsberg has all the latest novelties the Paris and London markets have brought out.He has enough to supply three countries and then

evening and the Rev.Mr.Dewey in the afternoon.The interior of the church is handsomely finished.An oyster supper and concert were given on Monday evening in the basement in aid of the building debt.The town council held an adjourned meeting on Monday evening last, discussing, as usual, nearly all questions in a whisper.There were several protests presented by land proprietors here against the valuations recently made, but the valuators were sustained.Mrs.Gouiu protested against her lands, now used as a farm, being classed and rated as building lots, but the council\u2019s deep logic was that some day or other they would become available as building lots.The other question discussed was the action of the chairman of the road committee, Mr.John H.Smith, who ordered some men to plow up and cart away gravel from a private road between the St.Francis College and Dr.Webber\u2019s residence, to the injury of the side approaches to both.The council endeavored to prove that they had a right to do so, but Dr.Webber and a committee from the college, consisting of Principal Bannister and Messrs.W.L.Ball and C.P.Cleveland, proved very plainly that it was otherwise, and the council decided to make full compensation.An amusing incident occurred when Dr.Webber was addressing the council.He was describing how, when the men appeared with their horses and carts to carry away the soil they had ploughed during his absence from home, he had rushed out and driven them off.They had returned, however, and Coun.Smith remarked \u201cBut you were beaten after all, doctor.\u201d \u201cYes,\u201d replied the venerable physician addressing himself to the mayor, \u201cI was beaten in the end, but 1 wouldn\u2019t have been if I had had the strength of Samsor^ or\u201d (here he turned in the direction of Coun.Smith and added in stentorian tones) \u201cor the jawbone of an ass !\u201d Those who are aware of the amount of mutual esteem which exists between the doctor and the chairman of the road committee will appreciate the joke___Many improvements to property and houses in Melbourne reflect great credit upon the proprietors In removing eyesores they are public

but modern chemistry has discovered that it is very valuable.While as to corks, it is true that negro minstrels, and 1 might add, many small boys, use them for blackening their faces.But there are many other ways of turning these articles to account, at slight expense.A cork, if cut into a cube or small brick, bears a close resemblance in miniature to many kinds of stone.When a number of these are combined they look like old specked and indented masonry.They abound in brown, or brownish grey, spots and little cavities.Therefore, if you take a number of such cork-bricks, and construct from them a model of a small house with care, it will present a very pretty appearance.They are easily fastened together, by passing a wire or small rod through them, or gluing them together.It often will be desirable to give the cork some other shape, or to round the corners.This can generally be effected with a sharp pen-knife and sand paper; but artists who make elaborate imitations of buildings in cork, use a new, keen tile.\u2014- bushel\t\t60\t0\t70 Wheat ^ bushel\t\t1 36\t@\t1 69 Corn Feed (100 lbs) \t\t1 30\tO\t1 40 Barley\t\t\t\t70\t@\t80 FARMERS MARKET.\t\t\t Potatoes (?bushel\t\t45\t0\t56 Onions peck\t\t85\t0\t40 Beets, bushel\t\t45\t0\t60 Butter, fresh prints.\t\t20\t0\t32 Butter,\ttub\t\t16\t0\t20 Lard, ^ lb\t\t124 0\t\t15 Cheese, ^ lb, dairy\t\t19\t0\t16 Cheese, ^ lb, factory\t\tia\t0\t15 Maple Sugar\t\t8\t0\t10 Bees Honey, P lb, in boxes\t\t18\t0\t20 Eggs, & doz., fresh\t\tao\t0\t26 Apples, (p bbl., green\t\t3 00\t0\t3 60 Beef, quarter\t\t\t6\t0\t7 Beef, cut\t\t6\t0\t8 Beef, corned\t\t8\t&\t10 Mutton\t\t8\t0\t10 Lamb\t\t8\t(ft\t10 Pork, in carcase\t\t7 00\t0\t0 00 Pork, ^ (b., fresh\t\t10\t0\t12 Pork, salt, ^ [b\t\t00\t0\t12 Wood, bard dry\t\t4 00\t@\t4 60 \t2 50\t(çe\t hard, green\t\t0 00\t\t0 00 \t\t\t \u201c riir iiinrnrunriiT\u201d\t\t\t (Êotitifr** £gd£.E.W.ABBOn, LENNOXVILLE.XN order to clear out our 1j large stock of DRESS GOODS, we offer a discount of 10 per cent from all such goods .at 15c per yard or upwards.These are not old-fashioned or shop-worn goods, but the newest to be had, and this discount is from prices as low or lower than the same can be bought elsewhere.It won\u2019t cost anything to call and see these goods and all the others suitable to the season, with which our store is filled, and we hope that you will do so.October 16 th, 1888.ROAD CARTS !

A unique design in earings is a small coral wishbone with gold ends.Ostrich bands lying flat outside of the brim are on hats for young girls.Tailor jackets of barrel cloth with coachman\u2019s capes are made for young girls.New plush clocks have a small receptacle on each side in which to place a small bric-a-brac ornament.Oxidized silver match boxes are now made with numerous wings of p(jlish-ed silver stamped out in relief.Green and silver grey are the colors most often seen in new garments, in cloaks, jackets, and costumes.White beads with gold hearts are used for trimming evening cloaks, in conjunction with the wavy white llama or Thibet lambskin fringe.Cashmere-colored beads are still popular, and some large jets are in effective trimmings ; but many designers have abandoned beads altogether, and the cashmere coloring is introduced in silk cords.Black furs will be much used for trimmings, especially Persian lamb and the rougher curled Astrakan.In light furs is mouflon, the shaded grey soft fluffy fur introduced last winter.Very handsome cloth costumes are made with a redingote of one color opening over a vest and draped front of cloth of another color, such as a mahogany redingote with grey cloth vest and skirt front.Large buttons on black woolen gowns are of black fabric covering wooden moulds, on which a few irregular stitches are taken in silk the c«>lor of the trimming.Black crocheted silk buttons are also used with a touch of the color in centre.Embroidered silk waistcoats are on very costly jackets made of Sicilienne; these are, however, too expensive to be generally popular.The embroidery is done in gay colored silks on light cloth.Some very new jackets have their fronts in long tabs, square or pointed, giving the effect of a mantle front.Simple redingote for morning toilettes are made of light cloth, ornamented on the fronts with deep em-boidery excuted with silk of the same color, and opening on a skirt of the same cloth, which is embroidered at the lower edge.The corsage is round, with embroidered revers rolling from a vest of plain cloth ; large and hand some buttons ornament it.Buttons of all kinds are much used, large ones predominating.R III Be Fully Met.Indications of Dyspepsia, such as Sour Stomach, Heartburn, Sick Headache, Rising and Souring of food.Wind on the Stomach, or a Choking or Gnawing sensation at the pit of the stomach are fully met by Burdock Blood Bitters which has cured the w«jrst cases on record.\t2wl4 The Century is to publish in early numbers a short serial novel by a writer new to it readers, Mrs.Mary Hartwell Catherwood.The story is based upon events in the early history of Canada, and Mr.Francis Park man, the historian, has written for it a preface in which ho says that \u2018the realism of our time has its place and function, but an eternal analysis of the familiar and commonplace is cloying after a while, and one turns with relief and refreshment to such fare as that set before us in Mrs.Catherwood\u2019s animated story.\u201d The romance will be illustrate by Henry Sandham, formerly of Montreal, and both letter-press and pictures are said to introduce the reader to a comparatively little known time and scene.ristmas THEGLOBE®.READY FIRST WEEK IN DECEMBER, A GV{EAT HOLIDaV PAP£^ New Type, New Press, Fine Paper, Five Handsome Lithographed Plates, First-Class Illustrations, Original Matter and Superior Workmanship.THE BEST XMAS PAPER EVER ISSUED IN CANADA.THE LITERAR?MATTER in tbe Christmas Globe will be entirely original and will include stories from the ablest pens in Canada.The subjects treated being wholly Canadian.FIVE HANDSOME LITHOGRAPHED PLATES accompany the paper, the principal one being a scene from Vancouver Park, B.C., from a painting by Mr.L.R.O\u2019Brien, the celebrated Canadian artist.MECHANICALLY the Xmas Globe will be in every way first-class and no expense will be spared in having it surpass anything of the kind heretofore published in this country.^1\tDEMAND will be very great, we would advise intending purchasers to ea\\p « ieir orders at their newsdealer\u2019s or send direct to this office, not later t an t e end of the present month, as the supply will necessarily be limited and we cannot undertake to print a second edition.I .Pr'ce beBn placed at ONLY 25 CENTS PER COPY.Ji.de.tnVl!n^n'i.li,\t^ ®dition ready the first week in December in ^Ch°i.«Z.\" \u201cPie8 di\u201c\u201c\u201cs \u201c \"\u201c'h B______\u2014_________ THE GLOBE PRINTING CO., Toronto.THE WEEKLY GLOBE, the best family newsoauer in Car,aria and THE RURAL CANADIAN, the beet agricultural paper in S^a poUx from now to end ot 1889 only $1.25.\t*\taaa' One of the ablest weeklies in existence.M Pall Mall Gazette, London, England.4* The most influential religious organ in the States.\u201d\u2014TA « Spectator, London, England.14 Clearly stands in the fbre-front as a weekly religious magazine.\u201d\u2014Sunday School Times.Philadelphia, Pa.Prominent features of Th* Indnpindent during the coming year will be KeligiouB and Theological Articles, By Blsbop Huntington, Bishop Coxe, Bishop Loane, Bishop Hurst, Dr.Theodore L.Cuyler, Hr.Howard Osgood, Dr.Howard Crosby, Hr.A.J.Gordon, Hr.George F.Pentecost, and others ;
