a duty of 20 per cent will be imposed upon umbrella and parasol steel, iron and brass ribs, and other supplies for the use of umbrella manufacturers.The items of costume cloths, serges and similar fabrics under 25 inches wide, and winceys of all kinds upon which it was proposed to place a duty of 25 per cent, will be struck out and for them will be substituted tho following : Checked, striped or fancy co*ton, winceys over 25 inches wide, a specific duty 2 cents per square yard and fifteen per rent, ad valorem ; 2, all fabrics composed wholly or in part of wool, worsted, the hair of alpaca goat or other like animals, not otherwise provided for, twenty-two and a half per cent, ad valorem ; 3, winceys of all kinds not otherwise provided for, twenty-two and a half per cent, ad valorem.The present duty of twenty per cs#nt.on dress or costume cloths, serges and similar fabrics, under 25 inches wide and weighing not over three and a half ounces per lineal yard, is repealed ; also the item relating to winceys.After July 1st it is pro posed to place a specific duty of ten cents per gallon on oysters, shelled in bulk or oysters canned in cans not over one pint, three cents per can, on cans not over one pint and not over quart; five cents a can, and on cans exceeding a quart, an additional specific duty of five cents each quart or fraction of a quart.On oysters in tho shell there will be a duty of 25 per cent, ad valorem, and on packages containing oysters or other fish\tnot otherwise provid ed for, 25 p.c.ad valorem.On all smoked fish there is to bo a duty of one cent per pound.In the House to day, the bill granting Amanda Esther Davis a divorce from Joseph Désola, son of the lato Dr.Abra ham Désola, for cruelty and adultery, passed its final reading.Tho writ for Levis has been issued nomination on the 7th and polling on the lith of April.Sir John A.Macdonald had received no further particulars from the half-breed uprising when the House adjourned tonight.itself by attempting to hide the truth, imputing such motives to the Chronicle \u201cTotal Abstinence \u2019 is playing a part which can only bo characterized as unjust Our correspondent seems to labour under the impression that she has to depend on the Montreal newspapers for her news.In Montreal the readers of tho press there say that they have to depend on Quebec for Montreal news.The fact is the telegraphers often pick up items in either city which escaj e the notice of the local reporters, and if a fair average for the year were struck, we believe, that the relative \u201cscoops,\u201d\u2014 as the journalists say\u2014would come out about even.It is always a habit, too, for people to cry down their native place, and though \u201cTotal Abstinence\u201d \u201cstands up for old Quebec\u2019* she shows this morning that she is an active member of that valuable part of the community which is only happy when it is complaining.Of course, our correspondent must allude to our recent article on the ashington Craze.\u201cTotal Abstinence\u201d is shocked because we called the members of the Women\u2019s Christian Temperance Union, women, \u201cconsidering that those alluded are ladies.\u201d We have no objection to call them ladies, thought tho grand old name of woman seems to be good enough for the Queen of England.We forget, however, that we are living in an age when man and woman may only bo applied to a class.A temperance woman, if there be such a person, may be heard in su Iterance, but a temperance lady is the veriest salt of tho earth ; when she opes her mouth, let no dog bark.The following paragraph from the Chicago Union Signal will interest \u201cTotal Abstinence\u2019\u2019 :\u2014 \u201cWhen the new mistress of the White House\u2014God bless her and keep her !\u2014 steps into a place which she will honor as highly as it honors her, she will scarcely fail to remember that sweet day of last year\u2019s spring when tho W.C.T.L.met in national concert of prayer for the.conventions so soon to nominate a President of the United States.She will remember that solemn hour to which she herself, all innocently, gave direction and leadership, when the Spirit of God turned all thoughts toward the future mistress of the W lute House, and prayers were offered that whoever this might be, she might be endowed with heavenly graces and divine strength to stand in the nations highest home, its true priestess, its safe ensample.The then leader, Miss Cleveland herself, is now in God\u2019s providence first lady of the land\u2014a Christian worker\u2014a W.C.T.U.sister beloved, a noble woman, \u2018nobly planned To warn, to comfort and command.\u2019 \u201cWe send her in tender sympathy the message sent once before to the W hite House, \u2018Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tear*, Our faith triumphant o\u2019er our fears, ^ Aro all with thee, are all with thee.\u2019 Here is the moral.So long as some other man was President, Miss Cleveland did not hesiUte to go with her \u201cladies\u201d to ask that potentate to use no wine at his dinner.Now, that her brother is President, and now that she really would have some influence with him, what does she do/ She simply says, \u201cMy brother and I are two, I will not interfere ; and so she preaches but does not practice.She did what she could to embarrass other Presidents, but with Grover Cleveland the case is different.We fear that Miss Cleveland is too sensible to remain long an active \u201clady\u201d in the sisterhood.PAKLIaWenTAKY- NOTES.(Special to the Morning Chronicle.) Ottawa, March 23\u2014Tho report that Louis Riel had incited tho half-breeds to rebellion in the Qu\u2019Appelle district created great excitement to-day.In the House of Commons this afternoon Hon.Mr.Blake enquired of the Government in refereaco to the truth of the reports as to the trouble in the North-West Territories.Sir John Macdonald said \u201cIt is true that a number of half-breeds instigated by Louis Riel have cut the wires and stopped communication between Qu\u2019Appelle and the crossing at the South Branch ot the Saskatchewan.One of tho wires has been repaired and communication restored.They have taken prisoner several of the telegraph operators.The cause of the rising is not known.One of the telegrams says it is believed by some that the trouble is caused by the receipt of a letter stating that Riel was not a British subject.I liave made enquiry, but I cannot find that any such letter has proceeded from any quarter within my cognizance, or within the cognizance of the Government.Whether such a letter stating what is alleged exists or ever existed, Î do not know.1 here arc certain questions connected with the half-breed claims which have been in process of settlement.Some of the claims are exceedingly unreasonable : others aro being adjusted.Tho Bill of Rights has never been officially or in any other way formulated, as far as we know, or transmitted to the Government.I may say, that it was thought prudent last summer to have seme additional force in tho vicinity of Prince Albert, and we asked the Hudson's Bay Company to givo us Carleton, which is a post of that company, the buildings of which were comfortable and in the vicinity of the settlement of the half-breeds at that place.Captain Crozier has been established NOTES AND NEWS Personals.Hon.David A.Rjss has returned to town from Ottawa.Mr.Charles Maguire, of tbc firm of D.& J.Maguire, has returned from Ferr.andina, Fla.General Middleton.Mr.Thibaudeau receive! a telegram from Genersl Middleton, late last night, nigr.ifying that he .had found it necessary to cmcel his proposed visit to Quebec as it would bs im possible for him to leave the Capital.No reasons are given for the change in tte General\u2019s movements, but a letter is expected from him to-day.^It ia believed, however, that information not yet given to the public has been received at Ottawa with reference to the Anglo Russian difficulty.The General was expected to arrive in Quebec to day to inspect tho Cavalry and \u201cA \u2019 Battery and the 9\u2018.h Battalion on Wednesday evening.General Middleton was to have teeu the guest of the Hon I.Thibaubcau during his stay, and had accepted an invitation to dine with the officers ot the local militia.ment had received a proposition on Thursday last from the C.F.K.and had c msidered it on Saturday, and r< fused to accept it.Hou.Mr.BLAKE asked if the papers would be laid on the table.Sir JOHN MACDONALD\u2014Perhaps the company will make another proposition.Mr.McCALLUM moved for copies of all reports in tho Department of Public Works as to the improvement of the North Saskatchewan River for the purpei^ of navigation.He spoke at length on the importance of improving the navigation of tho Saskatchewan and expressed every confidence in the future greHnes* of the country.Dr.ROYAL, while he fully understood the the importance of improving the navigation of the Sibkatchcwun, thought better results would flow from improving the navigation of Lake Manitoba.The navigation of the SasUatcnewan at present was spiso-modic, and what the couutry most required was railways to open up tho iuterior of the country.Mr.WATSON also spoke in favor of tho Government expending a reasonable sum of money in improving tne navigable streams of the great North-West.Sir RICHARD CARTWRIGHT thought v ry moderate sum of money would ho sufficient to open up several hundred miles of navigation.Sir HECTOR LANGEVIN promised to briog down whatever papers were in the possession of the department.Tnere had been no surety cf the river.lie promised to take up tha matter in the supplementary estimates.The survey would cover about oue thousand miles.Uf course, that could not all be done at once ; the survey must be gradual.He paid a high comphment to the North-West and had evciy confidence in its future greatness.Tho question of a canal between the two lakes, of course, would enme tinder the attention of tho Department of Railways and ^.Canals.He premised the matter would not bo lost sight of when the consideration of public works was taken up.Sir R.CARTWRIGHT moved forretums cf ell sums paid to Judge Clarke in each of the years 1379.1880, 1881, 1832, 18M and 1884.Hcibpcted to th t priucipf^ot employing Judges drawing regular salaries to do tho work of commissions.The Government, he eaid, should not interfere with the judiciary.In the present cise the inference was that Judge Clarke must have neglected his judicial duties, and while drawing, last year, the s&laiy of Judge, received, us well extra pay, amounting in tne whole to §7,050.Sir JOHN MACDONALD explained that the judicial duties in this case were not no-glscted, as there were two Ju iges in Northumberland.His services were nquired for special work, and in the di-charge of his mission he had shown great ability and had protected the public interest.Oue of ihe reasons that Sir Hector Laogevin had brought down the bill for the establishment of a Court of Claims was to cure his auomaly.Hon.Mr.MACKENZIE said that during his regime the Exchequer Cjurt considered all these claims, and he thought that was the properly tribunal.Hon.Mr.BLAKE censured the Government for removing Judge Clarke from his re gular official duties and then for increasing his salary to nearly three times as great os that which belonged to his Judgeship.The junior Judge Benson was an able man and he congratulated the Government on his appointment ; but tho question arose whether he could properly fulfill the duties of both offices while Judge Clsiko was engaged in extra _ work at Ottawa.The principle was a dangcr-eus one, and the precedent, he observed, was being acted on by one of the Provinces which had appointed a Dominion Judge a Commis sioner lor certain purpoiea with a salary of three thousand dollars extra.Sir JOHN MACDONALD said the country

number of grades in the Canada Pacific Railway was 5,832 ; aggregate length of grades 1,900 and average grade 20 feet per mile, Mr.YEU a»Lad has tho Government paid the contractors of tho Cape Traverse Branch Railw-ay the balance due on their contract.If not what amount yet remains in the hands of the Government ?Is it the intention of the Government to insist on the payment of the workmen engaged upon the road before paying the balance, if any due cantractors ?Hon.J.H.POPE said the Government had paid the contractors ; no amount remained in their hands.He understood all the workmen had been paid ; if they had not the contractors were able and willing to pay them.Hon.Mr, BLAKE asked what are the maximum grades and minimum curves which are within the condition* imposed by the Canadian Pacifie Railway Act as understood by the Government and referred to in the various documents approving of the location of sections of the line ?lion.J.H.POPE said the maximum was 116 feet and the minimum 11 feet.Hon.Mr.BLAKE asked whether the in-tontion*of the Government has been called to the published reports of avalanches in the Selkirk range close to the Canadian Pacific Railway works, and whether any reports of engineers or experts or witnesses have been ordered or have been received by the Government bearing on the question involved.Hon.J.H.POPE said the attention of the Government had not been called to these reports but they had instructed an official last tall to make an inspection.In answer to Mr.SHAKESPEARE, Sir LEONARD TILLEY said it was not the intention of the Governmsnt to increase the duty on rice this session.Mr.BLAKE asked whether the Govern ment or any Minister has as yet received any written communication from the Canadian Pacific Railway Co,, proposing any change in the existing arrangements ?If so, when ?Will the papers be laid on the table ere long ?Sir JOHN MACDONALD said the Govern- had gained a great deal through the appoint ment of Judge Clarke to consider the I.C.R and other claims.The motion was carried.Mr.McMULLEN moved for a return showing what sum or sums of money have been paid to J.E.Collins for services ren dered to the Government.Sir R.CARTWRIGHT made some very sarcastic remarks and read a letter from the Torunto World laudatory if Sir Hector Lan gevin which, he el limed, was written by Mr (Jollihs.Sir HECTOR LANGEVIN eaid Mr.Collins was not in the employ of the Depart meat now.He was appointed on February 12th, worked tixteen days and drew $20.Mr.HESSON moved Ur copies of all cor respondence aud reports of fisheries inspec tore, overseers of fisheries or other persons in Manitoba aud the North-West, in relation to tho destruction of fish.He pointed out the desirability of more energetic measures being adopted to protect the fishing interest The motion was carried.The SPEAKER left tho chair at six o\u2019clock AFTKIt RKCBS.3.Mr.GORDON moved for tho correspon dertee referring to the appointment of a Joint Commission with the United States Govern ment to survey a boundary lino between British Columbia and Alaska.He raid there was considerable uncertainty and con-tusicn arising from the absence of any dt finite knowledge as to whero the boundary line referred to is located, and United States troops bad crossed Canadian territory to Alaska m defiance a law, This was violation cf ncutra-ity law, and shoull be stopped, espccia!ly since the Americans refused to alhw the Canadian Red River expedition to pass through their territory.Mr.HOMER supported the motion and pointed out that in view af recent rich discoveries of minerals close to the boundary line, its location should be dtfinitely fixed.Sir H.LANGEVIN said be did not think the report was true that^American troops had crossed Canadian territory without having first asked permission.Tne most amicable relations existed between Canada and the Uuited States, and he had doubt that a request from either Government to the other to pass troops over foreign territory would now be granted.The motion was carried.Mr.EDGAR moved a series of resolutions, setting forth what he believed to be the anomalous position cf the Canadian copyright law.He stated that without further legislation in the Imperial Parliament Canada is powerless to moke laws dealing with the copyright question, because it had been authoritatively decided that any person who obtained a British copyright possessed the sole and exclusive right of reprinting the work in Canada, and that no legislation of the Dominion could affect such right.In order to place Canadian publishers upon the same footing as American publishers in regard to the reprinting of British copyright works a bill was unanimously passed by the Dominion Parliament in the session of 1372, and reserved for the signification of Imperial pleasure thereon.Royal assent, however, was not given to the bill, and by the correspondence on the subject which was laid btfore the House, the reason for refusal was alleged to be that provisions cf the Canadian bill were in conflict with the Imperial legislation.He moved that an address be sent to the imperial Government asking for the exemption of Canada from the operation of the English copyright law so far as necessary to give us clear authority to pass legislation of our own on the subject.Hon.Mr.CARON dissented from the view that the Imperial copyright law was unfair to Canada.He believed the act of 1875, which was passed by the honorable gentleman\u2019s friends, was working satisfactorily and with many English authors.Sir JOHN MACDONALD moved the-ad-journment.Sir JOHN MACDONALD, in answer to Hon.Mr.Blake, said the Easter holidays would extend from Thursday till the following Tuesday.The House adjourned at 10.30.Suakin,

amongst others the eighth clause of the said dead of sale, the fulfilment of which would make the North Shore Rail-way Company\u2019s station at Quebec the virtual terminus of the Pacific Railway ?Hon.Mr.BEAUBIEN said, on the above item being called, that the matter of the question was so nearly identical with a motion placed on the order paper by Hon.Mr.Gar neau that be had obtained permission to move it.He therefore moved an address for correspondence with respect to the fulfilment of all the cooditions which the syndicate undertook to fulfil in virtue of the contract of sale of the Eastern section of the North Snore Railway.He dwelc ^krtioularly upon the failure of the North Shore Railway to execute clause eight of such contract respecting the right of way and running powers of the Canada Pacific Railway over their road at proportionate rates of freight.He gave it as his opinion that if the Canada Pacific Railway and the North Shore Railway were compelled to carry out the provisions of the contract of sale, the result would be to secure to Quebec the virtual terminus of the Canada Pacific Railway.In that cue there would be no neccuity for tho conitrnotion of a second line of railway with the $6 000 per mile voted by the Dominion Government, wnich amount would then, as it ought to, and as he sincerely hoped it would, find its way into the exchequer of the Province ol Quebec, which hail made such large sacrifices to aid in the construction of the Pacibo Railway s Eastern section.If, however, it was found impracticable to compel a proper fulfillment of the excellent conditions imposed by the Government m its deed of sale to the North Shore Railway Company, he saw nothing for it bat the construction of a second line of railway from St.Lm to St.Raymond.In that case, too, the Government of tho Province would be justified in taking the railway back from the Company for non-fulfillineut of contract, especially as it was now considered worth a million and a quarter of dollars more than when it was sold.Mr.CAKBRAY (Quebec West) said as representative of ao important division of the city of Quebec he thanked the hon.member for Hochelaga for the good words he had said in her interest.He heartily wished that what tha hon.member advocated could be realized, viz , the business of the C.P.R.to be bronght to Quebec as summer terminus, by the enforcement of the claims and conditions of the contract of sale.The hon.member would be delighted if such a happy state of affairs would be reached, in which the two rival lines would join hands with good will and harmony and use the North Shore in common to reach the docks at Quebec He feared very much, however, that tha world had not so far progressed to wards the millenium as to warrant us in counting on any such happy state.It was not in the natural order of things to expect it, notwithstanding any agreements or contracts\u2014and therefore if Quebec is to be made the summer terminus of the C.P.R., it must bo by a new link from its present nearest eastern point to Quebec.(Applause.) He (Mr.(Jarbray) was glad that the G.T.R.ia now interested in the future of Qaebec, by ita control of the North Shore, connecting with the magnificent docks, which, when completed, would offer the very best possible and most advantageous transhipping point of the St.Lawrence route.He was sure the able men who guided the destinies of the Grand Trunk had already seen this, and that they would not be alow to avail themselves of the docks immediately they were completed.(Hear, hear.) He deeply regretted what he had read in the Gazette as the answer Sir John gave to the Qaebec delegation on the Short Line question.He feared very much it meant the Short Line passing by Sherbrooke and through the State of Maine, thus depriving Quebec of any share of the advan tages she is so much entitled to{from her enor mous contribution to the cost of the C.P.R.(Hear, hear.) This would be a most unaccountable injustice.He hoped that there would be no rivalry between Qaebec and Montreal on this question.He trusted they would go hand in hand together and do ail they could to build up the St.Lawrence route, at against the routes to United States ports.A few a\u2019-ort years, and the immense development of the trade of the North-West will tax both ports to their utmost capacity to take care of it.(Applause.) Mr.UINFRET said he agreed with what Mr.Beaubien had said bat differed from Mr.Cirbray.He opposed the cjostructionof the intericr or Great Northern Line.Mr.RICHARD (Montcalm) thought there had been too much consideration adown for private interests and private corporations He desired to see pnblio affairs conducted with a view to the publia interest alone.-(Applause).Hon.Mr FLYNN dwelt upon the importance which the Government attached to this matter.He explained the nature of the correspondence demanded, ac considerable iengtts* and promised that it would bo brought down.Moreover, he said that the Government would, later in the session, take the Honse into its confidence, and ennneiate a policy of dealing with the matter, which would be formulated with the object of compelling on the part of the North Shore Rail-way, a fulfilment of the conditions under which it acquired the North Shore Railway.\u2014(Loud applause).Mr.OVA ENS differed entirely from the opinions expressed by the members for Montcalm and Quebec West in so far as they urged tr.e building of the Great Northern Railroai.The objection which had before been made to the pretension that it was the duty of the Provincial Government to go into the business of railway construction possessed additional force in this instance, wbere the proposed new road was destined to compete with existing lines.He agreed entirely with the member for Hochelaga (Mr.Beaubien), in urging the fulfillment of the conditions of sale of the North Shore Railway io the company which now controls it.Some hon.members bad contended that the Canada Pacific should take steps to compel the fulfillment of the conditions in question, but he spoke of the impracticability of a private company going before the Courts to enforce them with each car of freight, which they desired to ship over the line! Such duty must devolve upon the Government, and he was content to leave it in the hands of tha Government and ot the Minister of Railways.He believed that the North Shore Railway Co.had not intended to carry out the conditions imposed upon it by the deed of sale, and did not pretend to have done so.Such was evident by the correspondence now before the House.Toe Grand irunk said it would rum them to carry out the terms of the contract, and this was the very best answer to the statements of the Opposition, that the Government had sold the line at too cheap a price.Ho concluded by expressing bis willingness to leave the natter in the hands of the Government, Y.M.C.A.\u2014The members ot the Y.M.C.A.are reminded of the business meeting to-night at eight o\u2019clock.9th Battalion'.\u2014Tho

A Sad Case.\u2014The community was very much shocked, yesterday, on learning of the sad fate of the body of the late Mr.Provao who died on Saturday night at the advanced age ot ninety years.The deceased was for a lengthened period a well-known citizen of Quebec, having been m business as a confectioner on St.Anne street.For some time past he had occupied a small lodging on St.John street, his only companion being a semi-idiotic son.The remains of the old man were found to have been attacked by rats, which have knawed away portions of thé hands, ears and toes.On this discovery being made, the body was removed to the Jeffrey Hale Hospital, whence it will bo taken today for interment in Mount Hermon Cerne-tery.The coroner will hold an inquest on the remains in consequence of reports that the death of the deceased was hastened by want of proper care.It seems that no medical man was called in until a couple of hours before death ended the old man\u2019s sufferings.The story is also current taat the poor old fellow was attacked by the vermin while still alive.What a commentary upon the charity of our nineteenth century civilization !

BURLEIGH'S ACCOUNT OF FIGHT AT ABU K LE A ! THE ONLY ONE UNWOUNDED ARAB PRISONER ! (Burleigh's Letter to the London Telegraph.) But what of the square ?We had fallen back 100 yards, aud tne foremost Arabs were driving their spears at cur men\u2019s breasts.They were yet too few, however, to make any serious break in our ranks, and, desperately as they charged and fought, rifle and revolver bullet, and more rarely bayonet point, stopped their career.Then the great onrush came, and with spear poised and sword uplifted, straight into cur left face, rear corner, tho Arab horde struck us like tempest.The Heavies were thrown into confusion, for the enemy were right among them, killing and wounding with demoniacal fury.Bickward from tne left face, the square fell, staggering and irregular.Officers exerted themreves to keep their men together, aud General Stewart himself rode to the broken corner to assist.His horse was here killed, and he himself was with difficulty extricated and saved from Arab spears.Lord Airlie received two slight spear wounds and so did Lord Charles Beresford.The enemy\u2019s rush swept clean over where the Gardner gun had been placed, and tbe small Naval contingent lost two officers and six mea killed, defending their gun as at Tamai.It was actually one of the same weapons that was used in that equally terrible fight.Confusion for tho instant reigned supreme as the men fell back towards a long circular mound.The charge of tho Arabs carried many of them into tho centre of our square and among tho camel?.Tnere death and havoc rioted for two or three minutes, whilst our men moved off from the inextricable mass of wounded, dying and dead camels.It was AN AWFUL SCENE, for many, alas ! of the wounded left behind on the cacolcta and litters perished by the hands of the merciless Arabs, infuriated by their sheikhs, whose wild hoarse cries rent the air, whilst the black spearmen, entangled among tho animals, ran \u2018 hither and thither thirsting for blood.Amid the general calamity there were many providential escapes.Lord St.Vincent, who, with another wounded man, was being borne upon a pair of camel-litters, was overwhelmed with his came!, and fell underneath ; the wounded man, who was on the opposite side, was killed, and Airlie owed his life to the accident.Trifling as- was the obstacle offered by the heaps of helpless animals, it was enough to break and disorganize the rush of the Arabs.So great at this moment was the peril of the situation that officers in the Guards and mouoted infantry placed their men back to back to make a desperate battle for life.Tne Martini-Henrys had never ceased, for hundreds of men kept firing steadily aud with good aim at the enemy.There were others, I.regret, who were neither diecrcct nor careful as to the direction of their fire.Possibly much of THE WILDNESS OF AIM was occasioned by the excitement of finding that hundreds of the cartridges j unmed fast after the second or third shot.I have since been tol l by officers that this year our mongrel cartridge socks worse than ever.Positively at Abu Klea, and later at Mc-temmeh, 1 saw scores of weapons rendered temporarily useless.At this stage, seeing the Arabs were no respecters of persons, I myself took up a Martini-Henry, but the third cartridge stuck, and I had to resort to my revolver.Our men wore now nearly all clustered around tbe circular mound, with a swarm of Arabs fighting upon what was originally the left and rear faces of the square ; the others were still hanging back undecided among the wreck of camels.The column kept backing with their faces outward towards the top of the low mound, until they were wedged in a compact mass.To me, who was outside on the right face, they appeared to spin and turn slowly around the mound, a whirlpool of human beings.The position luckily enabled them to deliver a heavy and withering fire into the dense mass of Arabs.Soon the enemy showed tigns of wavering, and WITH CUEER.S AND SHOUTS our men redoubled their fire.A young officer, whose name I did not learn, rallied a number of men on the right rear, and these being soon joined by ethers were able to deliver an excellent and most telling transverse fire into the enemy\u2019s rank?.The strained tension of the situation bad lasted nearly ton minutes, when at last the Arabs, twoor tnreo at first, then in twenties and fifties, began to trot off the field.In five minutes more there was not an enemy to be seen standing within three hundred yards of us.With cheer upon cheer shouting ourself hoarse, wo hailed our victory, dearly won as all knew it to be.Parting volley after parting vdley was sent into tho now flying foemen, and we had the satisfaction of noting that all round they were taking ground to the rear.Colonel Barrow, who had been holding tho enemy about three! quarters of a mile on our left rear, was now able to push on, aud soon three long streams of Arabs, afoot, and qn horse, camel and donkey back, were making off, one in the direction of Berber, another towards Metem-neh, and a ibird for Khartoum.Our skirmishers were again pushed forward, and the screw guns brought into action to QUICKEN THEIR FLIGHT.Details of men were aent out to search for our wounded among tho heap of slum lying to our left face.As at Teb ami Tama-', the wounded Arabs refused to be made prisoners and great caution had to be exercised in moving about the field, not only to avoid the covert stabs dealt by the bleeding Arabs, but the rushes and cats of the fanatics who shammed death in order that they might the more surely get a chance of burying their weapoue in one of us.Our men were drawn forward one hundred and fifty yards from the battle field, and then, after great delay in getting the soldiers into their proper places the square was reformed.Wo found our losses during the day were, roughly, including native camei drivers, over one hundred killed and about two hundred wounded.Of the enemy, five or six hundred lay heaped in front of aud around our dead camels, and I think nearly as many more fell on the hill sides and in the wady.Our greatest sufferers were the Heavy Cavalry regiment, which had six officers and over fifty men killed, whereas the Guards and tho Mounted Infantry had each but five men killed.It took till ten minutes past noon to get tho force again in order.Our ADEN CAMEL DRIVERS, many of whom were killed and wounded, and who displayed a loyalty, courage and pluck-conspicuous alongside tho few cowardly Egyptians, scoured the battlefield, and brought in such of the camels as were able to travel.Cacolets and litters were put upon the animale, and the lost baggage was left to be recovered later on.The reserve ammunition, which could not then be transported, as over fifty camels were killed, was set fire to and destroyed.While this was taking place the Hussars came up and opened communications, and were sent ahead to take possession of the wells and hasten the enemy\u2019s evacuation of their camp.Meanwhile small knots of dervishes hung about, longing to charge the eqnarc.I was unfortunate enough to precipitate one of these rushes on the part of six concealed fanatics.Riding one hundred yards to our left, in a little hollow I saw tome men stretched on the ground in attitudes not assumed by the dead.A soldier fired at one of the half dozen, who moved his head to peep, missed him, and brought five Arabs to their feet, who rushed for the square.There was a rattle of many ntler, None of them ran MORE THAN EIGHTY YARDS ! About 1 p.m.the force received orders to again advance.As we descended into the j wady on our loft we saw hundreds of Arabs \u2022 lead and dying.In the dry watercourse they hft behind thorn many water fflcinu, water bottles, earthenware pots and bags of dhoora.There were even a score of tomtoms, the heads of which were instantly burst ia.Oa the northern side of the shallow khor they had dug numerous rifle-pits and trenches.There were one or two cast-a\\vay Mahdi uniforms and lots of ihg?, but no shields, for the false prophet had bade his adherents neither wear their ancient chain armour nor seek the protection of thick rhino ceros hide bucklers.Exploring along this wady a party of our men came upon six dead and four wounded Arabs lyirg under a bushy dwarf mimosa tree.Tne soldiers had au interpreter with them, aud the Araba were called upon to surrender and come out.That they said they could not do ; would the soldiers, therefore, cotnc and take them.The four wounded men still held THEIR 8PKAK8 IN THEIR HANDS.\"\\ ery good,\" said our soldiers, \"put down your spears, aud we will tee you are well treated, and do all w o can to cure your wounds.\u201d Tno answer of the four Arabs came fierce and concise, \u201cPut down our spears, Infidel dogs ! By God and the prophet, never !\u201d There was a crack of Martini-Henrys.Y'ou can guess the rest.It was again, as at leb and at Tamai, almost impossible to take prisoners, and we secured but two of gheir wounded alive.The third pri «oner I assisted to bring in, but ho was hard' ly & capture, for the man gave himsilfup.Ho hail a Remington and over 100 rounds of ammunition.Hia story was that he had been one of the Berber Egyptian.'garrison, Rnd since the fall of that place had been forced into the Mabdi\u2019s army He was glad to escape from them, ho declared, and I must say the fellow lootted cheerful at being taken.A trooper of the 19th conducted him to Gen.\u2022btewart.He was our one unvvouuded pri-aoner 1 Choked and parched with thirst after the day \u2019s turmoil, we got to the well* at four p.m., delighted to find an inexhaustible supply ot cold pure water.Men and horses gathered around some one or other of the titty wells suok in tho level plain, quenching their thirsts by deep draughts.An hour later fires wero being lit to prepare our evening meal.Hands w'ere scut to cut bushes and construct u small zereba, and a detachment cf troopers was ordered to occupy tho hill on our left front.R.fl- firing had ceased, aud tho doctors, who had shared, with a courage aud zeal beyond all praise, in the dangers of the day, had got a temporary hospital in order, aud were each doing their utmost to alleviate the Bufferings of our wounded.' £ate ot to £ct.To ¦et, ^\tHAT FinST-CLASS SPA- A c.ous and elegant Cut Btone residence, 37*.Sr.John Street, (\u2022vithcut), heated by Steam, Ilot and Cold Water, Bath.Wat-.r-Cloeets, 4c., commanding a view of tbe Harbour and over fifty miles of country, from Lorctte to St.Anne and Island of Orleans.Possession 1st April next.P.O.Box 805, or on the Premises.March 14, 18?5.\tAm-p Houses to Let.UPPER PART OF No.2, ST.Antoine Street, Lower Town, now occupied by Mr.James Walsb.O^IRIX Andrews, Caron, Pentlanfl & Stoart, -A-ETVOC A-TES, VICTORIA CHAMBERS, March 23, NO.20, ST.DENIS STREET.CAPE, heated with hot water, now occupied by J- Ueggie, Esq.To bo seen from 1 to 3 P.M.Apply to WESTON HUNT & SON, 09, Daihousie Street, L.T.March 24, 18S5.\ttf To Let, M That desirable double - Office, No.7G.St.Peter Street.Quebec, at present occupied by Messrs.E.Sanderson A Co.Pos- FOR PUREDRUGS -AND- CHIEIMIICAlILjS -0-0 Tc>- (Hbc Steams!

and that is upon the husband.God has placed it there.Man achieves and woman cherishes.Man has the strength of muscle and power of will ; woman baa the strength of patience and the power of love.We do not question which are the nobler endowments.Patience and love are revered by men ; strength and courage are admired by women.But when it is a question as to headship in 'family or society, there can be no hesitation in saying that it must be with man.\u2014The Living Church.A Simple Remedy.There is no remedy of such general application, and none so easily attainable as water ; and yet nine persons in ten will pass by it in an emergency to seek for something of far less efficiency.There are but fow cases of illness where water should not occupy the highest place as a remedial agent.A atrip of ffantiol or a napkin folded lengthwise, ' and dipped in hot water and wrung out, and then applied around tho r.eck of a child that has croup, will usually bring relief in ten minutes.A tovel folded several times, and dipped in hot water and quickly wrung and applied over the seat of tho pain in toothache or neuralgia, will generally afford prompt relief.This treatment in colic acts almost like magic.I have seen cases that have resisted other treatment for hours yield to this in ten minutes.There is nothin?that will so promptly cut short a congestion of the lungs, sore throat or rheumatism, as hot water when applied promptly and thoroughly.Pieces of cotton batting, dipped in hot water and kept applied to old sores or new, cuts, braise» or sprains, is the treatment now generally adopted in hospitals.I have seen a sprained ankle cured in an hour by showering it with hot water, poured from a height of threo feet.Tepid water acts promptly as an emotic ; and hot water taken freely half an hour before bed time is the best of cathartics in the case of constipation, while it has a most soothing effect upon the stomach and bowels.This treatment continued for a few months, with proper attention to tho diet, will cure any curable case of dyspepsia.Headache almost always yields to the simultaneous application of hot water to the feet and back of the neck.It is an excellent plan to record facta like these in a note book, which should always be at hand when wanted.In tho anxiety caused by accident or sudden illness in the family, one becomes confused and is not apt to remember quickly what should be done ; hence there may be prolonged and unnecessary suffering before proper reme- [¦\u2022iftKj-\u20140 \u2014_________ Rooms, with large Hall, oainted and L-t.» paperel throughout, Garden and Stable attached\u2014situated on Maple Avenu close to St.Foy Road\u2014for the last 8 years occupied by Mr.H.T.Jackson.Possession 1st May.Rent $160.No taxes, Apply to DAVID SMITH, 119, Peter Street.March 20, 1885.\ttf \u2022 \u2022\u2022a To Let, THE HOUSE No.9, ST.Ansrele Street.FURNISHED or UNFURNISHED, a most desir- __ *ble residence, comprising 10 Rooms and Basement, all in perfect order.Possession on 1st May.For particulars, apply to E.G.CANNON, N.P.March 20, 18b5.\t20,21,23,26,27,28-F To Let, ST.BÏOSBE\u2019S SOCISTT, rnHK QUARTERLY GENERAL MEET-L ing of ths ST.GEORGE\u2019S SOCIETY, for the Election of Members, for deciding as to the celebration of St.Georges Day, and for general buriness, will be hold at the Society\u2019s Room, Masonic Hall, on WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON NEXT, the 25th instant, at Half-Past Four ©\u2019«lock.¦^* full and punctual attendance is especially daired.By order, JAS.R.H.WHITE, Secretary.March 20, 1«85.\ttd .H Street, without, (Mount PIma-anth heated with hot water, at pre-JA-PS sent occupied by A.W.Leitch, Esq.No Corporation taxes.Apply to MEREDITH St COUTURE.Notaries Public.March 18, 1885.\tu dies aro applied.\u2014 Hall's Journal of Health.A correspondent of the San Francisco Bulletin recalls a reminiscence of tho visit of the Princess Louise to Victoria, B.C.One morning, as she was passing by a little toy shop, she saw two poorly clad urchins gazing longingly at the many dazzling allurement* displayed in the show window.She stopped and inquired what it was they particularly wished, adding that if they would toll her she would buy it.Two cheap and gaudily bedi-zened dolls had attracted the children's attention, and the Princess stepped inside the shop to make the purchase.The amount was twenty-five cents, but alas, the Princess had left her purse at home, and the little children's facea began to fall as they saw their prospect growing fainter and fainter.Annoyed and vexed at the oversight, she turned to the shopman and asked him if he would trust her for a little while.The old shop keeper, all unaware of the identity of his royal customer, scanned her over carefully, and finally remarked : \u201cWell, yes.You have an honest face, and I guess it it safe enough.\u2019\u2019 The first clock which appeared in Europe was probably that which Èginhard (the Secretary of Charlemagne) describee aa sent to his Royal master by AbdalUh, King of Persia.\u201cA horologe of brass, wonderfully constructed for the course of twelve hours, answered to the hour-glass with aa many little brazen balls, which drop down on a sort of ball* underneath, and sounded each other.\u2019\u2019 lue Venetians had clocks in 872, and sent a specimen of them that year to Constantinople.A man never knows what ic is to be struck with happiness and lightning at the same time until ho has had a pretty girl as his partner at whist and she has leaned over the table and, with a delirious love light in her eye, whispered loud enough to be heard all over the room :\u2014\u201c.Say, dear Mr.Smith, I haven\u2019t got a single trump.Do tell mo what to play.\"\u2014Fall River Herald.An intrepid courage is at best but a holiday of virtue, to ba seldom exercised, and never but ia cases of necessity.Affability, mildness, tenderness and a word which I would fain brink back to ita original signification of virtue, I mean good nature, are of daily use ;

the skin is dry and hot at times ; the blood becomes thick and stagnant ; the whites of the eyes b come tinged with yellow, the urine is scaaty and hign-coloured iog a sediment after standing.There quently a spitting up ef th food, sometimes with a sour taste, and sometimes with a sweetish taste ; this is frequently attended wuh palpitation of the heart ; the vision becomes impaireu with spots before the eyes ; there is a feeling of great prostration and weakness.All oi these symptoms are in turn present.It is thought that nearly oue-third of our population has this disease in some of its varied forms.It has been found that medical men have mistaken the nature of this disease- Some have treated it for a liver complaint, others for Sidney disease.etc., etc , but noue of the various kind of treatment have been attended with success, because the remedy should be such as to act harmoniously pon each one of these organs, and upon the stomach as well ; for in Dyspepsia (for this is really what the disease is> all of these organs partake of this disease and require a emedy that will act upon all at the same time, deigel\u2019s Curative Syrup acta like a charm in this «Mass ot complaints, giving almost immediate relief.Ibe following letters from chemists of standing in the community where they live show in what estimation the a tide is held.John Archer, Harthill, near Sheffield I can confidently recommend it to all who may be suffering from liver or stomach complaints, having the testimony of my customers, who have derived great benefit from the Syrup and PiLs.The sale is increasing wonderfully.Geo.A.Webb, 141, York Street, Belfast :\u2014I have sold a large quantity, and the parties have testified to it being what you represent it.J.S.Metcalfe, 55, Highgate, Kendal :\u2014I have always great pleasure in recommending the Curative syrup, for I have never known a case in which it has not relieved or cured, and I have told macy grosses.Kobt.G.Gould, 27, High Street, Andover : -I have always taken a great interest in your medicines and I have recommended them, as I have found numerous cases of cure from their use.Thomas Chapman, West Auckland :\u2014I find that the trade steadily increases.I sell more of your medicines than any other kind.N.Darroll, Clun, Salop :\u2014All who buy it are pleased, and recommend it.Jos.Balxwill, A.P.S., Kingsbridire The public seem to appreciate their great value.A.Armstead, Market Street, Dalton-in-Fur- neg8 ;_it it needless for me to say that your valuable medicines have great sale in this district-greater than any other I know of, giving great satisfaction.Robt.Laine, Melksham :\u2014I can well recommend the Curative Syrup from having proved its efficacy for indigestion myself.Friockheiin, Arbroath, Forfarshire, Sept.23, 1882.Dear -ir,\u2014Last year I sent y u a letter recommending Mother -'eigel's Syrup.I have very much pleasure in still bearing testimony to the very satisfactory results of the famed Syrup nd Pills- Moat patent medicines die oat with me, but Mother .-eigel has had a steady sale ever since I commenced, aud is still in as great demand as hen I first beg in to sell the medicine The cures which have come under \u2018my notice are chiefly those of liver complaint and general debility-\t.\t,\t, .\t.A cer ain minister in my neighbourhood says it is tr' only thing which has benefited him and restored him to his normal condition of health after being unable to preach for a considerable length of time.1 could mention also a great ,u ny other case, but space would not allow.A near friend of mine, who is very muon addicted to comveness, or constipation, finds that Mother Seigel\u2019a Pills are the only pills which suit his complaint.AH other pills cause a reaction which is very annoying.Mother Seigel\u2019s Pills do not leave a bad after-effect.1 bave much pleasure in commending again to suffering humanity Mother seigels medicines, whion are no sham.If this letter is of any service you can publish it.Yours very truly, (Signed) William S.Glass, Chemist.A.J.White, Esq.15th August, 1883.Dear Sir,\u2014I write to tell you that Mr.Henry Hillier, of Yatesbury, Wilts, informs me that he suffered from a severe f»rm of indigestion for upwards of four years, and took no end cf doctor\u2019s medicine without the slightest benefit, and declares Mother Seigel\u2019s Syrup which hsgot from me has saved his life.Yours truly, (Signed) N.Webb, Mr.White.\t3\tChemist, Cains.For tale by W.Bbcnet A Go., 139 and 14 .St.Joseph Street, St Kochs, and A.J.White, Limited, branch Office, 67, St.Jamee j Street, Montreal P.Q.O.B.A Quincy.N.Y Central.Can.South.Del.A Hud.Del., L.A W.Erie .Do.2nd.Jersey Central.Kansas A T.Lou.A Nash.Lake Shore.orth Pacific.Do.Pref.Mich.C-ntral.North-West.Do.P»ef.^f.Pullman Car.Ohio A Cent.Oat.A West.Pacific Mail.Reading.St.Paul AM.St.Paul.St.Paul A Sioux City.St Paul A Omaha.Texas Pacific.Can.Pacific.Union Pac.W.U.Tel.West S.Bds.Cen.Pac.Or.Tran re frequent, so that money-making opportunities havo been frequent.T.E.HANRAHAN A CO., 13, Bt.James Street, Quebec.Head Offices,\u201436, 38 A 4P St.Draneois-Xavier Street.\t.\t_ .Branch Oificis,\u2014Old Stock Exchange.58, Xavier St., Place d\u2019Armes Square, and Corn Exchange, Montreal.March 14,1885.____________ Cm Gold Exchange.New Yore, March 23,11.00 a.m.-American Gold.4.864.Sterling Exchange, 4.84J.1.40 p.m.\u2014American Gold, 4.87.Sterling Exchange.4.84}.Montreal Stock Market\u2014March 23.FlEflT Board Bank of Montreal, 194| to 194$ ;
