possible we might imagine that this carlh of ours was not on schedule time on its annual journey around the sun, and that it had become belated somehow, so that while the almanac shows the close of Spring it is really only the opening of that season.Here, in California, we are some distance behind, if we may judge by the flower and fruit calendar, which is generally a safe guide, but we are no worse off than in other places.In many parts of the West the weather has been very severe, not only in the w>ay of rainfall and freshets in the streams, but 011 account of snow and very cold weather.In fact, the last week has been more like a January thaw in many places than like tho first week in Slay.However, so far os this State is concerned, reports show that the late spring has done no serious damage of any kind.Our strawberries are a little watery as yet, the grain and fruit are not maturing so rapidly as in some years, hut that is aliout the worst that can be said about it.We have not had the destructive floods of the West nor the cyclones and snowstorms which have done much harm in many places, so we have no special reason to complain.Even if the fruit crop is light in some parts of California it will make up in quality what it lacks in quantity, and the producer will get a better price for it and not have so much freight to pay on it to get it to market.\u201d What our San Francisco contemporary says as regards the Pacific Coast State is undoubtedly true as regards this country also.We have the latest spring on record, and the coldeat and wettest so far as our memory of the coast goes.We are not able to say whether this stale of things has greatly damaged the farming interest In this part of the world, but it cannot have benefitted it.On the other hand although we have had much wet, cold, and disagreeable weather of late, this part of the Pacific Coast has not suffered from the storms and destructive floods which have recently devastated much of the interior of tho continent.Indeed we think that all we have so far to complain of is, that spring is about a fortnight or so late.On tho whole, in spite of too much rainy weather in tho Winter and spring at times, we regard the climate of this part of the Pacific Coast as one of the finest in the world, and we think that our people have much to lie thankful for, instead of reason to complain.The truth of this will be evident to men who have a wide acquaintance with the varying climates of this earth of ours in other and distant lands.Our people, we say, have much to be thankful for, and little to grumble about\u2014The Vancouver Telegram, May 17th.Advantages of Old Oostume.We should like to call attention not only to the picturesqueness, but tc the convenience, of the male costume during the first 25 years ot the sixteenth century.Many of our doctors arc assuring us that an extraordinary amount of pulmonary disease is duo to the fact that men are in the habit of going about of an evening much more lightly dressed than during the day time, wearing waistcoats of a thinner material aud open in front upon the chest, precisely the part of the body which should be most protected.Now, the doublet screens tho cnest from every wind, andean be made of the lightest material in summer and of the heaviest in winter.It is quite true that the legs were more exposed than they are at present ; but, at the naine time, if we study minutely the 1 nrim?\" CPT\u2019ATTT'C* \"D A \"NTflTC! drawings and engravings of the sixteenth | L/UUiL OlU V XlO) Xlüii uJCiO) century we observed that in winter the men are represented as wearing either worsted stockings, gaiters, or long bools.It is a mistake to imagine that the streets of London in the sixteenth century presented a much more lively appearance than they do at present.The every day dress of the people, even of tho highest rank, was almost invariably made of broadcloth of a sober colour, occasionally enlivened with velvet aud smart ribbons.It was only on State occasions, or festivities, parties, balls, and public entertainments, that the gay silks and velvets and the cloth of gold were exhibited, and it must be remembered that so costly were the materials which could then be employed in male or female dress, that not unfrequently parents left their best clothes by will to their favourite children as a much-valued legacy.\u2014The Saturday Review, HARDWARE, ST.JOHN STREET, Upper Town, -AND\u2014 SOUS-LE-FORT STREET, Lower Town.REFRIGERATORS!

sight of each other and reached New York less than thirty minutes apart.The contest ended when the \u201cAurania\u201d reached Sandy Hook at seventeen minutes to seven o\u2019clock last night.Her opponent, the \u201cAlaska,\u201d had preceded her into port.Which vessel won the race is a difficult matter to decide, so cloee was the time made.But though the officers of both shipe will probably proclaim ignorance that any race was in progress, they will each probably claim the honor of making t)ie fastest time.The \u201c Alaska\u2019s\u201d exact time waw-Jrdays, 5 hour» and 40 minutes, and the \u201cAuraniaV 7 days, 6 hours and 9 minutes, ft difference of B0n.inut*« in favor of the \u201cAlaska.\u201d But the \u201cAlaska\" - poveped a tptol distance of 2,7!*8 miles, while the \u201cAurania\" covered 2,869 miles, or 76 mill» more than her rival.It would take her at least three hours to cover this distance, so that, therefore, she may claim the credit for the quickest time.Collisions\u2014During the heavy blow yesterday, the barks \u201cDuisburg\u201d and \u201cCathrine,\u201d lying on the Ballast Ground, came into collision, bv the former vessel dragging her

from London for River St.Law-fence.New Steamship Line\u2014Montreal, May 23\u2014 The big passenger steamship lines running from Montreal are going to experience keen competition from a new line

OF ST.JEAX BAPTISTE AXD DEPARTS FOR CAX ADA.gation of priests and lav*ii The relic will be used ii New York, May 21\u2014Mgr.Marquis took the relic of St.Ann from the little Church of St.Jean Baptiste, in East Seventy-sixth street, yesterday afternoon, wrapped the little box containing it in A piece of white silk, whU*h he thon put in an inner pocket jnst over his heart, and departed for Quebec on an evening train.When Brother Luke went to open the doors of tho Church of St.Jean Baptiste at five o\u2019clock yesterday morning he unind several hundred men and women waiting to enter and kiss the gold lined box of bronze enclosing the relic.It had been announced that the relic would be taken from the chfirch at twelve o\u2019clock, and the Cafly comers were working people and others who thought that if they did not come early they might not be able to see tho relic.For seven hours a line of people passed into the church at one door Ana out at another, and at noon they were still coming in such numbers that Father Frederick Tétreau decided to extend the time of removing the relic to four o\u2019clock.parting with the relic.The church was full of people at four o\u2019clock.\u201cTho time has now come,\u201d said Father Tétreau, \u201cwhen we must part with this holy relic of St.Ann, the mother of tho Blessed Virgin,\u201d and ho took the relic and held it high up so all could see It.Then the priest blessed the congregation.Women wept and cried out :\u2014\u201cGood-bye, St.Ann !\u201d \u201cCome again, St.Ann I\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t forget us, St.Ann l\u201d Father Totreau began to descend the altar.A tremor passed through the assembly and men and women began struggling with each other to reach the relic.Some clung to tho altar rails, weeping or uttering short ecstatic crie».Others caught hold of Father Tétreau\u2019s cassock and begged him to let them kiss or touch the precious box.As many as could touched the box while the priest pushed his way through the throng.Cries, sobs and groans were heard ns Father Tétreau left the church by a side door.The crowd in the street saw him and tried to detain hiln for a blessing.The priest, holding the relic tightly to his breast, ran up Seventy-sixth street and around the corner to the pastoral residence at No.1,081 Lexington Avenue.Ex-Judge Henry Murray sent his carriage to convey Mgr.Marquis to the station.Mgr.O\u2019Reillv, Canon Petit, Fathers Frederick and John Tétreau and Brother Luke saw Mgr.Marquis off on the Vermont Central 7 o'clock train for Quebec.He will arrive there at two o\u2019clock this afternoon.A dele-men will meet him.in the ceremonies at the consecration of Bishop Lahrecoue in the Cathedral at Quebec.Then it will be placed in the shrine at Ste.Anne de Beaupré, about twenty miles from Quebec.A celebration will be held at the shrine July 26, the feast day of St.Ann.ANOTHER RELIC COMING.The Church of St.Jean Baptiste will, in the month of June, become the permanent possessor of a relic of St.Ann, taken from the same arm from which this one was taken.The Holy Father, moved by a request of Mgr.Marquis, has directed the authorities of the Monastery of St.Paul, which is attached to the Basilica, to send another section of the right arm of the miraculously preserved body of the grandmother of the Saviour to the Church of St.Jean Baptiste.It will- come by exnress through Liverpool, and it is expected to be here in about three weeks.When it is received an elaborate service will be held in veneration of the saint.Many extraordinary cures, it is averred, have been wrought through the efficacy of the relic that has been exhibited at tho church.Believers testify that sight has been strengthened, lost hearing restored, lameness cured, and that faith in the relic has been a remedy for almost every sort of disease.A REMARKABLE CASE.Perhaps the most remarkable case has been that-of Mrs.Khoda Elizabeth White, of No.876 St.Nicholas avenue.Mrs.White is a sister of Mgr.O\u2019Reilly.She is now eight-two years old.She has been the mother of twelve children.One of her sons is Brigadier General Frank J.White.A daughter was Jennie White Del Bal, of Santiago de Var&guas, Panama, where she died after performing heroic missionary work among tho Indians.It was Mrs.White who, us the friend of President Lincoln, advised him to send Archbishop Hughes in tho summer of 1861 as a secret ambassador to Napoleon HI.and to the Supreme Pontiff.Mgr.Bernard O\u2019Reilly, formerly domestic prelate to Leo XIII., gave me this recital of Mrs.White's cure :\u2014 \u201cFor twenty years,\u201d said ho, \u201cmy sister has suffered from constantly increasing deafness.I could nut make her hear without shouting.In the early part of December last she had the grip, and all the winter she was too ill to leave her* house.Site was growing worse, and latterly she could not turn over in bed without the aid of two servants.She was aiHicted with insomnia and we were afraid she would lose her reason.The relic was taken to her bedside on May 4, and tho Sunday after she was taken to the morning and afternoon services in the Church of St.Jean Baptiste.That night she enjoyed sweet slumber.In the morning she arose perfectly well, her hearing being restored.Mrs.White visited the pastoral residence yesterda3\u2019 evening, before Mgr.Marquis departed, to kiss the relic for the last time.She knelt and prayed, and afterward when she walked away I saw that her step was firm, and, considering her age, she seemed strong and well.She could hear ordinary conversational tones.\u201d other cures reported.There are five sets of crutches stacked against the wall of the altar recess in the Church of St.Jean Baptiste which were discarded by persons who had kissed the relic and said they were cured of lameness ; also several pairs of spectacles left at the altar by others whose sight had been strengthened.It has been twenty days since Mgr.Mar-qnis permitted the exposure of the sacred bit of bone and flesh in the little church, but only fifteen days since the Herald exclusively informed the public about it.\u201cThe other newspapers took it up also,\u201d said Father Frederick Tétreau to me yesterday, \u201cand from a few hundred a day the number of those who came increased to thousands\u2014I think, on an average, 15,000 a day.In the neighborhood of two hundred thousand persons have seen the relic.We thank the Herald for it.From being the smallest and most obscure church in the city ours has become one of the best known.\u201d The offerings at the church during the exposure of the relic will, it is thought, aggregate $15,000, which w ill be expended on the parochial school.Try our Teas and bo
