knowledge of having fallen heiress to $600,000 left by a wealthy relative who hail died intestate, poor Martha Spencer of East Ixmdon, an indigent laborer\u2019s wife, was debarred by her mania from taking the fortune.Thus, while a lunatic, she actually djed of starvation because her condition kept the wealth away from her.Lord Randolph Churchill has left for South Africa.The Telegraph is said to have offered Lord Randolph Churchill £100 per column to furnish that paper with letters describing his travels and observations in Africa.Before this offer was received Lord Randolph had accepted the proposal of tho London Oi-aphic of 2,000 guineas for twenty letters, each to contain 4,000 words.The Pall Mall Gazette gives prominence to a scheme said to have been drafted to transport Hebrews from Poland and from the south-east of Europe to an immense tract of uninhabited land in Australia or Brazil.Baron Hirsch is credited with having originated this idea aud he is said to have had a long conference in Paris last week with a number of the most able advisers in charitable matters.The Baron, according to the report, then decided to give $15,000,000 himself with which to start the project.Full details as this plan for wholesale Hebrew immigration are not given, but it is understood that Baron Hirsch will be supported in the undertaking by other opulent Hebrews.It is expected, for instance, that the Rothschilds will contribute even more largely than Baron Hirsch to this new scheme.The adoption of the plan, it is asserted, is greatly due to the fact that tho United States is closing her ports to destitute persons.Odessa, April 28\u2014Eight hundred Jewish families have been ordered to quit Kieff.The well-to-do have already gone but the poor artisan classes are in the greatest distress.Many arrived on the Austrian frontier in a destitute condition but the Austrian officials refused to admit the paupers.The police accept no excuse, raiding the city with the utmost severity unless bribed to delay action.Tho daily ex- -pulsions from Moscow number from 100 to 150, on Sunday 690 were expelled.The rigor of the authorities frightens away many who are entitled to permanent residence.Tho emigration of Jews from this city has quadrupled.Permits guaranteed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of the Interior, any one of whom has power to quash their tenor, are considered ot doubtful value and the principals of large Jewish firms are placing their business in the hands of Russian agents and are themselves departing.Rome, April 28 -The Catholic papers here have opened a fund to repair the damage caused in the Vatican by the recent explosion.A Frenchman who refused to reveal his identity has subscribed

arrested him in the revolt.A great fire has been seen in the direction of the Capital and a loud explosion, which took place ifuring the conflagration, seems to indicate that the Capital had boon destroyed.Tho British column which was recently at Silchar has utterly routed the enemy at Bis-senpur.It is not expected there will be any further opposition of a serious nature offered to the advance of the British.General Graham\u2019s column on Saturday last surprised a force of 1,000 Manlpuris who were entrenched behind earthworks.The British first cut off the retreat of the Manlpuris and then closed upon the entrenched prisoners.A severe hand to hand fight followed.The enemy was completely routed losing 200 men.One British officer was killed and four officers were wounded.Melbourne.April28\u2014Advices from Samoa state that ex-Fresident Tuniasese is dead.He had been suffering from Bright\u2019s disease for some time aud finally succumbed to that complaint.Bkknk, April 28\u2014The work of the Commission of Arbitration on tho claims of the Delagoa Bay Railway Company for compensation on account of the seizure of the Delagoa Bay Railway by the

arbitrating commission.Capetown, April 28\u2014The British Consul at Delagoa Bay reports a brutal assault made by a Portuguese officer upon two officers of the British South Africa Company named

RAILWAY.CANADIAN REPaRTS.A MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.SAD ACCIDENT AT TERREBONNE.SERIOUS PIRE AT COMBER.NEWS FROM DOWN BY THE SEA.QUEBEC.Montreal, April 28- It now appears that within the last few months the Montreal detectives have missed at least one golden opportunity of not only distinguishing themselves, but also reaping a very handsome reward, with which to eke out their all too meagre\u2014salaries.It will be remembered that on March 23 last Chief of Police Hughes received a letter from the Chief of Police of Wilkesbarre, Pa., offering a reward of $500 for any information, and $1,000 for finding the whereabouts of William II.Shepherd, a wealthy merchant of Wilkesbarre.Mr.Shepherd bad mysteriously disappeared on January 13 last, from Philadelphia, where he had gone to purchase goods.So far as ascertained the Montreal officials took uo steps to ascertain if Mr.Shepherd had come to this city, notwithstanding the tempting reward which had been hung up.The missing man has now', after the lapse of three months been at last located in a small town in the Western States, greatly to tho delight of his distressed family, but what will prove more intcrasting to our local \u201csleuths\u201d is the fact that it is proven that Mr.Shepherd did actually come to Montreal after he first went a missing.As the discovery of the merchant is.almost as strange as his disappearance, how it came about may prove of interest to your readers.After he first disappeared every city in the United States and Canada was communicated with ; private detectives scoured every State in the Union and no step was left untried to find him, but all without avail.Finally the man was given up as dead, when to the joyful surprise of his family, a letter reached them a few days ago from Shepherd, which stated that he had been very ill ami requestiug that some money be sent him.W.S.Shepherd, his eldest son, immediately started for the town from which the letter was dated.On arrival he found his father lodged in a wretched apology for a hotel.He was hardly recognizable, and looked more like a man of 80 that the jolly gentleman he was before his mysterious disappearance.On seeing his son he fainted.On coming to he said that he had no memory of anything since the day he reached Philadelphia until two weeks ago when he recovered his mind in a town 250 miles west of the town in which he was found.Among some papers in his pocket was a receipted hotel bill, and an advertizing card of a Montreal hotel, which is taken os a proof of the probability that he had visited this city during his strange wondering.His son had him removed to comfortable quarters and he will be brought home as soon as his strength permits.In order that he may not be annoyed by reporters, the family refuse to tell the town where he wtis.finally found.The story of Mr.Shepherd\u2019s strange case is considered an extraordinary one, as his mind is a complete blank from January 13 until the 18th of the present month.Nor can any one be found who saw him during this time.The fire in the Maclaren Manufacturing Company last night turns out to have been even worse than was reported at the time.The damage amounts to $35,000 of which $30,000 Is covered by insurance.The Anglo-American Cable Company\u2019s office, corner of St.Sacrament and St.Francois Xavier streets, will open probabl on Thursday for business.Mr.Fred Waycott is here to manage the concern and it is expected that stock reports will be had between London and Montreal within the minute.This service will be between 10 and 1 p.m.New wires are being laced from Montreal to New York, to avail, and a large number of their banking vessels are lying idly at their moorings, every effort to obtain supplies having completely failed.The price held out by the French naturally proves a strong temptation to the people at Fortune Bay, and it taxes the utmost energies and all the resources of those engaged in the bait protection service to prevent smuggling.In one or two cases violence has been used by the owners of crafts.The other day a boat in charge of a police officer overhauled a craft bound to St.Pierre from Baie da Nord.It was commanded by a man named Banfield, who was ordered to heave to, hut he defied the summons.A boat was launched from the steamer and was rowed alongside, aud, when the police officer jumped on deck, three hands of the craft stepped up to him, and, lifting him up in their arms, tossed him overboard into the sea, as unconcernedly as they would a bag of hay.The crew of the officer\u2019s l>o&t rescued him, not much the worse for his ducking and the steamer then took possession of the craft and towed her into Harlior Breton, where the law-defying individuals were handed over to the care of the authorities.At Bay D\u2019Este and Baie du Nord a perfect flotilla of all kinds of crafts were anchored on Saturday morning, awaiting the termination of close time, which occurred at twelve o\u2019clock that day, to commence hauling bait.The majority, no doubt, are the shore banking schooners, but a number of them also were on the qui vive for St.Pierre.Some expressed their minds freely as to their determination to supply the French.The provisions of the Bait Act have been strictly enforced since the \u201cFiona\u201d and \u201cLady Glover\u201d arrived up the shore, and it is stated that not forty barrels of herring have been smuggled across to St.Pierre.On the Government being apprised of the situation in Fortune Bay and the extraordinary efforts of the French to obtain bait, the sa.\u201cLady (Hover\u201d was ordered to join the \u201cFiona\u2019' and the ss.\u201cHercules,\u201d with ten constables on board, has also started for the the scene of

investigation of other cases and it is stated that seven persons have died within the last two months from the deadly drug.On Sunday, Annie Armstrong, a domestic in the family of a prominent minister, died in horrible agony and examination showed enough arsenic in her body to kill six people.She was contented and the idea of suicide is not entertained.How she came to taka the poison is a mystery.Young Harry Cheny, employed in a printing house, died suddenly last week and under most peculiar circumstances and an analysis of the viscera yesterday by Dr.Burr revealed enough arsenic to kill a family.No more explanation can be made of the case than of the Armstrong girl.A month ago Mr.Hastings, his wife and six children were taken violently ill immediately after partaking of dinner.The physicians declared that the family were suffering from trichnosis, and despite their great efforts the mother aud four children died within a week and the remainder of the family are still low.Since the Barnaby poisoning, physicians have exhumed the body of one of the Hastings children and made an analysis, finding a sufficient quantity of arsenic to cause death.There can be no doubt that the others died from the same cause.Mrs.Hastings w as but 33 years old, had bail eleven children and did not live the happiest of lives.It is supposed she became despondent and tried to kill her entire family.Chicago, April 28\u2014The Government authorities have been notified of the arrival here of five Chinamen, who evaded the exclusion law by being landed in Mexico and brought across the

express themselves at all club meetings, as far as possible, without words.The first rule of the club was : \u201cThe members of this Academy shall think much, write little, and be as mute as they cau.\u201d On one occasion a new candidate applied for admission.But the members were limited and all vacancies filled.A meeting was called, the candidate was to be introduced, and the President was to announce his decision.When the gentleman entered, the members, who were all his friends, were as much disappointed as he that he was to be refused.As he approached the President rose, and silently handed him a cup of water, so full that a single drop would have made it overflow.The applicant perfectly understood what the President meant, but he was courageous and quick-witted.Without speaking, he took from his button-hole a single rose and laid it gently on top of the water.He laid it on so softly that not a drop was displaced, and handed it back to the President with a bow.With one consent the members applauded.They resolved to put their rule aside, and to admit the man who showed them that he could ornament their society without hurting it\t- .\t\u201e Then the man thanked them in an equally curious way.When the register was handed him to be signed he wrote below his name the number of the club members\u2014100.He added before it an 0, making it 0100.Underneath he wrote, \u201c Their value will lie the same.\u201d The man was so modest that the President complimented him immediately by rubbing out the 0 aud substituting the figure 1.This made the number 1100.Underneath he wrote, \u201c Their value will be increased eleven limes.\u201d These ingenious people must have devoted a great deal of time and thought to avoid using their tongues.That Labrador Cataract.There is a fine chance for some enterprising young man with a taste for adventure and geographic research to make himself famous by settling the question of those mysterious Grand Falls of Labrador.Two men have asserted that the Grand river tumbles over the edge of the great plateau of inner Labrador, and that in a single leap the foaming waters reach Mother Earth 2,000 feet below the spot where they dropped over the wall.The story is stupendous, whether the falls are or not.Geographers arc inclined to be doubting Thomases whenever these falls are mentioned, though we have never heard any-thing against Messrs.Maclean and Kennedy, who visited them entirely independent of one another and told the same wonderful story about them.Big or little, there they are only 160 miles up the Grand river, all ready for some young American who is willing to invest a little money and do a little roughing it in order to learn the truth about them.Who will attempt it this summer '.\u2014Goldthwaite'* Geographical Mcujazine.GREAT BRITAIN.London, April 28\u2014The hearing charge preferred against C.A.well-known historian of Modern Europe, was to have been held to-day, but owing to the critical condition of the accused who, overwhelmed by the charge, cut his throat yesterday, the Court granted an adjournment.Mr.Fyffe is the candidate of the Liberal party for the vacant seat in the House of Commons for tho Devisees Division of Wiltshire, and his character has always been above suspicion.The charge against him, that of committing an assault upon a boy while travelling in a train, has ci'eatett considerable discussion and many people believe it to be unfounded.A large number of persons holding high positions, in the Chuich and others eminent in literary circles were in Court to-day for the purpose of testifying to the blameless character of the accused.The election committee having Mr.Fyffe\u2019s political interests in charge has adopted a vote of confidence in him.Despatches from Corfu report an outbreak of the Greeks against the Jews.The Greeks recently spread a report that the Jews murdered a Christian girl for the feast of tho Passover, a child\u2019s body being found in the Jewish quarter though the body was identified as that of a daughter of a leading Jew.The Jews declared that the Greeks murdered the child as as excuse for rioting and plunder.The excitement became so great that 6,000 Jews were compelled to close their shops and the Government put a military cordon around the Jewish quarter.In spite of this a crowd of Greeks broke into the Jewish quarter and built & bonfire in the square, in which they declared the Jews should be burned.Before the rioters could carry out their mentions they were dispersed by the troops, although not before many Jews had been terribly beaten and injured.Mr.William Henry Smith, Government leader in the House of Commons, stated today iu that body that in view of the slow progress that was being made with the Government\u2019s Irish land purchase bill, he would on Thursday next make a motion that that bill take precedence of all other orders of the day.FRANCE.Paris, April 28\u2014In the Chamber of Deputies to-day.M.Lockney made\u2019a strong attack upon the new tariff proposals.The proposals, he said, would involve France iu the risk of economic and political isolation.The proposals were not justifiable seeing that French exports continually increased and French commerce aud industries flourished.A tariff such as the commission proposed would inevitably draw upon the country reprisals fatal to workmen and manufacturers alike.M.Lockney advised tho Government to recur to the regime of commercial treaties.Queen Victoria has left Grasse homeward bound.GERMANY.Berlin, April 28\u2014The funeral services oyer the remains of Field Marshal Count Von Moltke took place to-day in the ball room of the General Staff building, in which building the veteran died and where his body has been lying in state.Emperor William, the King of Saxony, the Grand Dukes of Baden, » Saxe-Weimar and Hesse, the principal members of tho Royal families of Germany, wdth the leading German Generals were present.The casket containing the great Field Marshal\u2019s remains were then carried with much ceremony to tho hearse, which was drawn by six of the Emperor\u2019s horses.After passing through streets, lined with troops and packed with spectators, the remains arrived at the Lahote Station at 1 o\u2019clock in the afternoon and were placed upon a railroad car draped in black which was there in waiting.Along the route of the procession to the railroad station, the hearse was preceded by Col.Goesler carrying Count Von Moltke\u2019s Field Marshal\u2019s Baton and by all the officers of the General Staff carrying » he insignia and orders conferred on Count Von Moltke during the course of his distinguished career.The casket was covered with large numbers of floral wreaths «eut from all parts of Germany and from many parts of Europe.Emperor William, the members of the Royal famille* of Germany and the German Generals followed the hearse to the railroad station.During the ceremony in the General Staff building the Emperor wm moved to tears.Prince Bismarck sent an immense wreath ami the following telegram :\u2014\u201cWith profound sorrow I received the telegram announcing the irreparable loss sustained by the Fatherland.I feel the loss more acutely owing to the fault that it had been vouchsafed to me to enjoy for several decados Von Moltke\u2019s glorious co-operation and the invariable amiability he displayed in our cloie friendly relations.\u201d One of the results of the German coal miners' strike is that a coal famine is impending.The iron foundries in the Sieg Valley nave been compelled to withdraw their fires in consequence of the scarcity of coal and most of the steel works along the Rhine have been forced to stop operations for the same reason.A New Anecdote of Boswell.Once, in a country inn, an aged man told me at great length, and with an infinity of windings, turns, harkings back, and episodes, a story.He was once, a long time ago, he said, a child, and in the days of his childhood there was once, he remembered, some kind of/e/e or rejoicing at which he was present.A gentleman who was there took him into his arms and kissed him.\u201cMy dear,\u201d said the gentleman, kindly, \u201cyou will now tie able to tell your children that you have been kissed by the great Boswell.\u20197 \u201cPray, Mr.Boswell,\u201d said a lady (and I do think it was a most cruel thing to say)\u2014\u201c pray, Mr.Boswell, why are you great?\u201d A story like this seems to give one a kind of connection, not granted to all the world, with the liut century, because Boswell died in the yéar 1795.\u2014Walter Besant, in Harper's Magazine for May.UNITED STATES.New York, April 28\u2014A Washington 3>ecial says :\u2014Secretary Foster denied to-day

received the report of Diacrict Attorney Grant, of New Orleans, in regard to the lynching of the Italians.He sent the report to Secretary Blaine for whose uae, he said, it had been obtained.The Secretary refused to give the report out for publication or to indicate the nature of its contents.\u201cTelegraphing Extraordinary-\u201d During the recent unprecedented fall of snow in Devon aud Cornwall the Porthcnrno station of the Eastern Telegraph Company found its landline communications with the, rest of the island interrupted by a barrier of snow extending over half those counties, and varying in depth from two or three to 25 feet, says the Electrician.The cables, however, remained intact, aud by their aid frequent and rapid oonnnunication was held with the company\u2019s London station by way of Lisbon, Gibraltar, Malta, aud Marseilles, a distance of over 9,000 miles, urgent service messages being frequently exchanged within the space of a few minutes.It fortunately happened that the Kasteru Company\u2019s direct fine from London to Marseilles through Franco was, notwithstanding the weather, in excellent electrical condition, aud by this route wonders of telegraphy were performed.In one working day of 23 hours 24 minutes no fewer than 1,558 messages were exchanged between London and Marseilles, being an average of 61 messages per hour, many of them very lengthy, and the majority composed of difficult code words or cipher.\u201cWhen it is considered that this was accomplished by hand working only over a simplex wire nearly 9,000 miles in length, composed of aerial, submarine, and subterranean lengths, it will probably be regarded as one of the most extraordinary feats of telegraphy on record.\u201d ADVICE TO MOTHERS.Mrs Winslow\u2019s Soothing Stbcf

The announcement was made by Mr.Baker amid mucli.enthusiasm on the part of Ihc Board\u2019s supporters.Those at the meeting opposed to the Board protested against directors using tho proxies given in beforo the general meeting, a fortnight ago, ih ignorance of the whole facts of the cose.They also protested against the absence of representative shareholders among the scrutineers.Sir Henry Tyler said that he had alréadÿ handed ih the proxies in justice to 23,000 shareholders, of whom only 234 were pi-esent to-day.He had also offered to admit another scrutineer after the polling began, but the offer was refused.Some violent speeches against Sir Henry Tyler and the general policy followed.Messrs.Household, Jeffrey and Baker declared that the shareholders intended to organize to secure a thorough reform in the management of the Company.A large number of shareholders had already given their adhesion to the opposition movement.Sir Henry Tyler had declared the poll closed at 4.50.He formally declared tho retiring directors re-clected.The gathering quietly dispersed.Sir Charles Tupper was not present, his challenge not having keen accepted and no invitation to attend having l>eten extended to him.The opponents Pf the present directors announce that they are well pleased with the display of strength they were able to make.\t' that Dr.Granpboib, of Temiacouaia, is to lie Deputy Speaker.But the Governor-General is not supposed to read the news-l>apers, and he is ignorant of the circumstance accordingly.So the members today will meet, pay their addresses to the Deputy Governor-General, and prepare their ears for a speech which they know will not be delivered.Mr.Kimber will assume an amused expression.The Deputy Governor-General will meet the members affably, but when he discovers that they are without a Speaker, his cheeks will become ihflamed, and surjjrise will dart from his eyes.He will at once rush them off to their own room, and tell them that when they havt elected a Spokesman, file Governor-General of the Dominion, will be ready to talk to them like a father.-Shame-faced, let us hope, they will retire.! Then\u2019 801,16 on6 friendly to the Ministry, likely enough a member of the Cabinet, will propose Mr.Petkr White for the important office of Speaker.Tho gentleman will be highly praised for his integrity, Levis Demands Cheap Postage.( To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle.) Sib,\u2014This morning's Chronicle editorial, in re the Post Office Department, will be read with interest by all who object, in correspondence, to use postal cards exclusively.Your editorial explains that our \u201cPostmaster-General has taxed the drop or local Utters double.\u201d Tho Chronicle appears to have entered into tho postal conflict gloved.You have without doubt stated the truth ; yet you have not exposed the whole truth.Correspondence by mail is now evbn more expensive that the Chronicle complains of.In our small town of Levis the rate for local letter postage has been increased three hundred per cent.South Quebec is in the town of Levis, yet a letter from Levis to South Quebec must be prepaid three cents, which rate is monstrous ! Ink, pens and many other literary requisites are all mostly,\u2014if not entirely,\u2014imported from Europe.Costly postage means less correspondence, reduced correspondence signifies less importe-tion, and reductive importation brings reduced revenue in the matter of Customs.Surely the Padrone of the Post Office Department, in overburdening the people, is also guilty of interference with the Department of Mr.Bowcll.It is high time for tho Government to insist on the Post Office Department lieing governed in a manner worthy of the age in which we live.Trusting that the Chronicle will continue to lead the good cause of cheap postage until the same will come to stay in Canada, I am, Mr.Editor, Your obedient servant, W.E.Simpson.Wolfe Street, Levis, 28th April, 1891.The

the Hon Edward J.Phelps, who served as United Slates Minister to Great Britain during the administration of President Cleveland, discusses \u201cIrresponsible Wealth \u201d with jjraat.lucidity and incisive* ness ; and the Right Hon.Joseph Chamberlain, M.P., in an article entitled \u201cFavorable Aspects of State Socialism,\u201d recounts tho wonderful improvements which have been made in the city of Birmingham during the last fifty years ( by wise municipal expenditure, and also points out how the condition of the people of England in general has Improved in the same period.Two articles in reference to Canada next claim our attention.The character of the first of these is sufficiently attested by its title\u2014\u201cThe Wtman Conspiracy Unmasked.\u201d It is from the pen of Sir Chas.Tupper, formerly the Dominion Minister of Finance, and at present High Commissioner for Canada in Lonaon.Hiscon-clusion is that, as the result of the recent election, the \u201cdelusion of unrestricted reciprocity may be regardeil as dead and buried.*\u2019 Tho second of these articles is written hy the Marquis of Lome.It is called \u201cCanada and the United States,\u201d and sets forth the reasons why Canada is averse to annexation to the United States and prefers to paddle her own canoe.\u201cNapoleon\u2019s Views of Religion\u201d is from the pen of Hypolite Adolphe Taine.S6me \u201cCommon-Sense on the Excise Question\u201d is by William S.Andrews, and the late Rev.Howard Crosby, D.D., who devoted much time and thought for many years to the solution of the excise problem.Julien Gordon (Mrs.C\u2019ruger), writes on \u201cThe Modern Extinction of Genius,\u201d in which she takes the ground that they speak not wisely who say that tho formor times in literature were better than the present.Henry Clews, writes of \u201cOur Business Prospects,\u201d and shows why New York stands a good chance of becoming the money-centre of the world.A striking article by the Hon.Henry Cabot Lodge, \u201cLynch Law and Unrestricted Immigration,\u201d emphasizes the obvioüs lessons of the tragedy at the New Orleans prison.Mr.Lodgca contention is that it is the plain duty of the Gov* ernment to draw the line sharply between desirable and undesirable immigrants.\u201cThe Politician and the Pharisee\u201d is by Hon.J.S.Clarkson.The feature of the Notes and Comments is the answer to the question \u201cCan a Poor Girl tio to College?\u201d which is furnished by Alice Hayes, who has examined the subject with great care.Other articles in this department are \u201cTight Lacing for Monkeys,\u201d by Edward P.Jackson ; \u201cThe Closing Door of Quackery,\" hy Dr.William G.Eggleston ; \u201cA Catholic on the School Question,\u201d by Prof.Maurice F.Egan, editor of the New York Tablet ; and a proposal for \u201cA National Chorus\u201d in counection with the World\u2019s Fair at Chicago, which is put forward by 8.G.Pratt and indorsed by Theodore Thomas.TRY IT.\u2014P.C.Castors French Blacking.Superior quality.Gen eral Agents for Canada : Dr.Ed.Morin & Co.Wholesale Druggists, 112 114 Dalhousie Street, Quebec.The Race For Ocean Supremacy.It would seem to be time for the European nations to cry quits in the attemptto keep pace with oue another in tho race for suore-macy on the ocean.The Army atul Navy, Gazette shows that the increase made in the British navy by doubling the modern ships has been met by a similar increase abroad, and when all of her new ships are completed England will be in precisely the same position relatively us in 18S9.To the 68 battle \u2022hips of that date the Naval Defence Act will by 1894 add 70, making a total of 138.Seven foreign States, namely, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Austria, Spain and the United Steles, are meanwhile adding 109 to their total of 107 in 1889, making in all 354 built or-building.The total number of their battle shins, cruisers and torpedo gunboats now building are os follows : England, 70 ; Italy, 24; Germany, 21 ; France, 19; United States, 16; Russia, 12; Spain, J2, and Austria, 5.Bereaved Widow\u2014\u201cWhy, doctor, you have, the effrontery to charge me ÿô00for treating my poor dear husband, and he died ufU r all.Doctor\u2014\u201cWell, didn\u2019t you collect $25,000 life insurance ?\u201d they Will Merry.It is announced that Mr.Gabriel Marchand, son of the Hon.F.G.Marchand, Speaker of the Quebec House of Assembly, will shortly lead to the altar Miss Rose Anna Chapui, daughter of Charles Chaput Esq., of Montreal.We hear that Mr.Henri Masson, son of thé Hon, Senator Munson, late Lieutehant-Govrr nor of Quebec, will soon espouse the baud of Miss Loranger, daughter of Mr.Justice Lo ranger of Montreal.«\u2022encrai Herbert Flensed.Major-General Herl>ert was interviewed by a reporter in Kingston lately, when he had the following to say about Canadian military affairs : \u201c With regard to the Canadian militia, as a body, I consider that it is made up of fine material.Men and officers alike appear to he full of zeal and soldierly spirit, and although my acquaintance with it has, so far, been limited to the city corps, I have no doubt that the rural battalions will not detract in any way from my opinions as at present formed.The rural forces, I think, should go into camp yearly instead of once every two years, while all the volunteer corns would Iks benefited by more constant drill, especially ns regards such field movements as skirmishing, tho attack, etc With \u201c A \u201d Battery and the Cadets I am extremely Well pleased, especially the latter, who I think show tho effects of a sound military training.The institution affords great opportunities for young men as a place where a course may be taken which gives graduates a good standing in cither military or civil life.It is greatly similar to the Woolwich, England, military college in its course.I do not intend to advocate any startling changes in the militia, hut wiil aim to bring it to the highest standard possible by thorough and systematic work.The scheme for annual mobilization at a certain point of such troops in each military district as would be able to do so would I think give a good opportunity for exercises and instruction in this particular.Kingston is splendidly situated for this purpose as everything necessary, review grounds, supplies and water arc right at hand.Substantial drill halls arc needed.Bbkcham\u2019s Pills act like magic on a Weak Stomach, -, , \u201e\td&w Carpets, OILCLOTHS !
