periodical in the world.\u201d Edward Eggleston, ths author of \u201cThe Roosier Schoolmaster,\u201d says of it, \u2018\u2018There is not one of the numbers that does not stir the curiosity, inform the memory, stimulate thought, and enlarge the range cf the imagination.\u201d Founded in 1873, and from the first number edited by Mary Mape% Dodge, St.Nicholas^ is now entering upon its twentieth year.The most famous writers have contributed to its pages in the past, but never has its editor been ab'e to offer a better program or a more distinguished list of contributors than for 1893.There is to be a series of illustrated papers on \u201cThe Leading Cities of the United States,\u201d\u2014 the story of each city told by a prominent resident.Edmund Clarence Stedrran will write of New York ; Thomas W.Higginson, of Boston ; New Orleans will be described by George W.Cable, and Baltimore by President Gilman, of the Johns Hopkins University.Dr.Lyman Abbott will tell the story of Brooklyn,and other cities will be treated by other famous men.There will be articles on the World\u2019s Fair, and a number of pages of funny pictures and humorous verses.Mrs.Kate Douglas Wiggin, the well-known author of \u201cThe Birds\u2019Christmas Carol,\u201d etc., will contribute the leading serial for St.Nicholas during the coming year.The November number opens with a three page poem by John G.Whittier, which has in it some of the most beautiful lines the good Quaker poet has ever written, describing the visit of a party of young girls to his home.The School Journal says, \u201cPlace St.Nicholas in your household, and you need have no fears for the lessons taught your children.\u201d The magazine is the greatest aid that the teacher and the concientious parent can possibly have.It entertains, and at the same time educates and instructs.The subscription price is $3 a year.Remittances may be made directly to the publishers, The Century Co , 33 East 17th Street, New York.November

continues.Nearly all outdoor work has been suspended.Railway traffic is greatly delayed.In the north of Scotland the snow is fifteen inches deep.In the railway cuttings the drifts are many feet deep.A mail train for Inverness was* stopped by the drifts and the passengers were rescued with much difficulty.Hie preparations being made for the expedition of Mr.Gerald Portal, who has been appointed British Commissioner to Uganda disclose the thoroughness of the plans of thé Government for the occu]iation of that African territory.Besides taking, under the name of an escort, a strong contingent of Ghoorkas drawn from the army in India, Mr.Portal has been authorized to engage for the green\u2019s service Nubian soldiers in the service of the British East Africa Company.English officers, commissioned ami noncommissioned, will load Commissioner Portal\u2019s small army.His guard, consisting of 400 well-armed natives, chiefly Somalis will start for Mambaza on December 16.The Times, speaking editorially on the Monetary Conference, says : \u2014It is not going too far to say that the Monetary Conference has already resulted in failure.When it was found that the Americans were not prepared to make the first move, the Conference kindly accomodated them.Mr.DeRothschild\u2019s proposals are a mystery, unless he wished to lorce the Americans to realize and admit that except there was universal bi metallism, there was no arrangement which would suit.If they were of this machiævelian character, they have apparantly succeeded, for already in America a strong objection lias arisen to continuing the purchase of silver.The childish talk indulged in two years ago respecting the ability of America to act in defiance of the elementary principles of economics have been abandoned in presence of the plain fact that the Gresham law is not dead and that inferior money drives out better money if given a chance.It is probable that there will be a sharp fall in silver when it is recognized that the Conference will have been useless.The Standard's Paris correspondent utterly disbelieves the rumors that President Carnot contemplates resigning.It is doubtless difficult, but there is no reason why he should not, if no other issue is possible, call upon the Radicals to form a Cabinet.The only possible danger is that he should fail to see that the Panama Investigation Committee must not be checked or resisted.The Times' correspondent at Rangoon, British Burmah, says that there is a severe famine in Khiangmai.The American missionaries are feeding the starving people.The Siamese Government is doing nothing to relieve the distress.Paris, Dec.5\u2014It is announced this afternoon that both MM.Deville and Loubet have refused to undertake the formation of a Cabinet.It is expected that President Carnot will be obligea to again summon M.Bris-son or M.Ribot to attempt the task.Vienna, Dec.5\u2014It is reported here that Louis Kossuth, tne Hungarian patriot, is dying at his residence in Turin, ft was only a short time ago that he celebrated the 90th anniversary of his birth.Madrid, Dec.5\u2014The negotiations for a commercial treaty between Germany and Spain, which were opened here by Count \\ on Radowitz, the new German Ambassador, have caused an absurd story tobepubüshed by the Matin, of Paris.The paper says that Germany has proposed an offensive and defensive alliance with Spain and an arrangement to place a Prussian Prince on the Spanish throne in the event of the death of young King Alfonso.Germany, the Matin adds, proposes to secure to Spain possession of Morocco, the reorganization of the Spanish army by German officers anil the construction of btrategetic railways by a German Company.'1 he truth regarding the negotiations is that Germany asks to bo placed on the same basis of trade with the Spanish colonies ns the United States.She also wants Spain to reduce the duty on spirits and numerous manufactures in return for concessions accorded Spain in favor of wines, oils and dried fruits.Brussels, Dec.5\u2014When the International Monetary Conferetice resumes its sittings tomorrow, the first matter requiring settlement is whether the report of the Committee appointed to consider the Rothschild plan shall be further debated or the proposals of the American delegates proceeded with.Mr.Rothschild, SirC.Frecmantle and Sir VVm.Ilouldsworth, all of whom are British delegates, desire some expression of opinion regarding Rothschild's plan from the full Conference.Bertram Currie, another British delegate, aims to bring the Conference to a speedy close, and in common w ith some of the other delegates who are resigned to see the Conference result in failure, would aeee- 1*0.17,300.Gibbons should lie overlooked mid such plenary power given to one directly from the \\ at lean is only one of the many perplexing questions ubked about it.It had been rumored that Mgr.Satolli had been sent to America on a sect et mission as special representative of the Pope, but no one had conjectured that he would be intrusted with such autocratic power as would practically make him the Pope of America.The chief reason for the action, and the one that most obtains general credence, is that Pope Leo\u2019s long-continued ill-health has determined him to delegate such duties as properly devolves upon him to one whom he can implicitly trust.Probably the first action taken by Mgr.Satolli in Ids new\u2019 official capacity as arbitrator will be a re opening of the Mc-Glynn case.Boston.Mass., Dec.5\u2014It is supposed that the Rev.Samuel F, McCleary, the missing assistant pastor of the Church of the Saviour, in Brooklyn, ended his life last Friday night by jumping into Long Island Sound from one of the Fall River Line steamers.The young clergyman\u2019s father says that \u201c he had overworked himself and his mind w as slightly unbalanced.\u201d Chicago, Dec.J\u2014Eire broke out iu the basement of the Erring Women's Home last night and in the panic that followed among the inmates 12 of the 67 girls living in the institution escaped.The fire originated from the boilers and it is thought to have been part of a plot to liberate the inmates.The loss ' stairs, was trifling.that his business was in connection with the complications which have arisen in the Local Government over the appointment of Hon.J.A.Chnpicau as Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec, Hon.George E.Fi stcr, Minister of Finance, returned to the city to-day.« The scramble for the position of Collector of Customs at Montreal continues.Although Mr.M.P.Ryan has not yet been soperan nuated, there is very little doubt but that he will lie at an early day.It has been reported that Major Chapleau, Clerk of the Crown-in-Chancery, was appointed to the position.Asked if the statement was true, Mr.Cha-pleau said it was the first he had heard of it.Mr.A.F.Woods, M.P.P.Hostings, was in the city on Saturday.It is understood that his visit was in concection with the representation of Mr.Howell's constituency, seeing that the Minister of Militia goes to the Senate.It is most likely that Mr.Woods will run for Hastings as the Government candidate.It is rumored in political quarters that Mr.C.H.Mackintosh, M.P., will be appointed Lieutenant-Governor of the North-West Territories.Perhaps Mr.Mackintosh\u2019s contemplated book on the North-W\u2019est has given strength to the report.\t» Lindsay, Deo.5\u2014Early this morning a house owned by Mr.Carrin and occupied

Church of St.Gabriel in this city, the trustees and the parish priest having disagreed as to tl>e quality of the work done by the contractors.The trustees are against the payment of the contractor and have forcibly detained some of his implements.On Saturday he had a writ of detainer taken out against five of the trustees, Thomas Walsh, Bernard O\u2019Brien, Joseph Phelan, Thomas McConomy and James McNamara, Three of these were found in the church by the High Constable.On his approach they barricaded the door, and it was necessary for him to procure a force of police and an axe to break open the door.The three w\u2019ere then arrested and the others respected the warrant issued.They all appeared in Court this morning and were bailed out by their cotrustee, Alderman Tansey.A 5/ar special cable

authorities to have the necessary inspection mode and the proof of the country\u2019s immunity from the disease forwarded to London.Meanwhile, those interested in the Canadian cattle trade, particularly in Scotland, are keeping up the agitation to have the schedule against Canadian cattle at once removed, maintaining that no cases of pletiro pneumonia were found to have existea in any imported Canadian cattle.The opponents of the export cattle trade are not, however, idle.The farming cluhs are now meeting, ami are urging the Board of Agriculture to eocure the passage of an act

eTWALSH, Bookseller and Stationer, 25 St.John Street.December 5,1892.QUEBEC, TUESDAY, DEC 6, 1892.THE LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR.We believe that the Province of Quebec parts with her Lieutenant-Governor, and the lady who has so charmingly shared the social part of his high office with him, with real regret.Mr.Anoees did not come here a stranger either to our citizens or our institutions.He was bom in the old city of Champlajx, and it was here that the days of his boyhood were passed.It was here that ho made his mark in his profession as a lawyer.It was here that he first began his career in the political life of the conn try, and it was here where he played his great role as a statesman, both as Attorney-General and Governor, with such signal success.He is known to everybody in the land, for he belongs to that forceful type of man who believes in doing his duty, no matter how great and formidable may be the obstacles, reared for the time against him.He is not stubborn by disposition, for he is always open to reason, but he has an iron will, and diamond blood flows in his veins.He is not reckless in making up his mind to do a thing, but once tiiat he has made up his mind, he cannot lie shaken from his purpose, no matter what might happen.No one knows him better, no one appreciates his high character and his perfect integrity better, no one understands the value of the personal sacrifices he has made to better the political condition of Quebec, than the people of this Province, before whom he has publicly played his part.At no time has he adopted the methods of the intriguer, or the more opportunist.His acts have ever been boldly performed, in the full glare of the noon-day sun.Popularity he has never sought.Indeed, in the common acceptance of that much abused term in the English language, Mr.Angers has not been what is known as a popular man.To become the idol of the people, a man must sometimes descend very far in the socisl scale.This, our late chief ruler, could never bring himself to do.But he placed his brilliant talents, and remarkable intellectual gifts at the service of his people, and depended on his dee is and works for his reputation.That his name will always dwell in the history of Quebec, none can doubt.He has done more to make the history of the Province during his time, than any other mm in Provincial public life.In his youth he was fond of yachting and manly out-door sports, but he never forgot his studies.As Attorney-General he was a ceaseless worker.As a J udge he was able and conscientious.As Lieutenant-Governor he declined to be a mere figure head, but insisted on taking the command himself of the ship, and at a crucial period he developed the wisdom of doing a desperate thing to bring about a whole*ome reform.Many a man would have shrank from the task he had set himself to do.Many a man would have broken down before the end was reached.Many a man would have hesitated much before he asked the people to sustain him, against the ablest political leader,\u2014a man of every resource, and tact and skill,\u2014that this Province has seen for more than a quarter of a century.But Mr.Angers did not falter for a single instant.He hardened his heart, bent every energy that he possessed, and sheathed his sword only when his great work was done, and the bittle was won.From Spencer Wood he goes to Ottawa, to take a seat in Sir John Thompson\u2019s Cabinet, as Minister of Agriculture.He will find in that capacity abundant opportunity for the employment of his abilities.He will greatly strengthen the Government, and as we said the other day, he will be no sectional representative, but a true representative of the whole Province.In the performance of his purely social duties, he has been well aided by Madame Angers, whose kindly manner and amiable disposition, have endeared her to the hearts of all.Premier.An effort was made, we hear, to get the retiring Governor of Quebec to accept the Prime Minister\u2019s resignation, and form a new Cabinet, before the new Lieutenant-Governor came in,\u2014but though this plan might have saved Mr.Chapleau some trouble,\u2014his predecessor declined to acquiesce in any such arrangement.He preferred, with his ususl consideration, to leave the const clear to his successor.Mr.De Boucherville may advise Mr.Chapleau to send for Mr.Taillon, who, during the last session of the Legislature, has performed the duties of leader of the House of Assembly.Should Mr.Taillon feel inadequate for the task, or should he have private reasons for declining the honor, or should lie think that at this juncture, it would bo unwise to open a constituency, his duty will be to ask Mr.Chapleau to invite the Commissioner of Crown Lands to undertake the formation of a Cabinet.Mr.Flynn Imre the brunt of the last campaign in solid earnest.He encountered two opponents of great strength, and was, practically, pitted against the whole power of the Mer-cieritf.s, who had resolved to beat him at all hazards.Yet he succeeded in defeating both of his rivals.Mr.Flynn, moreover, has no superior in the House to-day, as a debater, as a man familiar with the practice and procedure of Parliament, and as a man well versed in departmental and executive work.He is a conscientious worker and a master of detail.These facts are mentioned as his qualifications for the office of First Minister.But there other and equally weighty reasons which should be urged and insisted upon, in his behalf.He is entitled to the post by virtue of his seniority.He was a member of the first Chapleau Government.He held the same office,\u2014that of Crown Lands,\u2014in the Ross administration, and he is also a Minister to-day, in the De Boucherville Cabinet He ha* had large experience as the Minister in charge of the most important department in the public service of Quebec Province.It is his department which yields our greatest revenue.It is the chief business department of the Government, and is far-reaching in its ramifications.The fact that he has managed it well, that he has every de tail of it at his fingers\u2019 ends, and that he has brought order out of chaos, entitle him to promotion, and he should be granted it.Mr.Chapleau will likely receive his appointment to-morrow or Wednesday, and as Thursday is a holiday, it is scarcely probable that he will be sworn in Lieutenant-Governor here, before Friday or Satur day.His interview with Mr.Taillon may prove a mere formality, and in that case Mr.Flynn should bo sent for.Mr.Flynn\u2019s task would be comparatively easy.He might with advantage to the Province, and the party, emulate the sensible example of Sir John Abbott, when he succeeded to the Premiership of Canada, on the death of Sir John Macdonald, and ask his old col leagues to resume their portfolios.They have been placed at the head of affairs by the people of this Province.They enjoy the confidence of the Legislature and of the country.They have taken pains learn their duties, and they are in fighting trim to meet the onslaughts of their opponents.More than this, they have created a policy, and they ought to allowed the opportunity of testing value.By the re-appointment of the present Ministry, and Mr.Flynn\u2019s selection as Premier would, we trust, secure that end, a great political crisis would be averted.Mr.Mercier will enter the House next session, as the member for Bonaventure.A cloud hung over his head last year, and he did not take his seat, but the Court has cleared him since then, and he will make his influence felt.So long as he was under this cloud, many of his whilom/riends flow away from his side like so many rats when the ship begins to sink.But now that he has survived the ordeal, those friends will lly back again.There is all the more reason then, for the Government have the First Ministership in the popular branch of the Legislature, and that Minis ter ought to be the ablest man in the House, and the ablest man in the House, the best equipped man for the role on the Conservative side, in our local poli tics, to-day, is unquestionably, Edmond James Flynn.In him, Mr.Mercier would, as always, find a foeman worthy of his steel.In the old days he acknowledged Mr.Flynn\u2019s abilities, and since those times the Commissioner of Crown Lands has gained rather than lost.It has been the fashion, of late, for the Conservative party in Provincial politics, to cry out, in a crisis, for a J udge to come down from the Bench to lead.The J udges may be left where they are.Most of them secured their ermine-tipped robes, through the miry paths of politics.To ask a J udge to resume hia old status, is not only an insult to the Bench, but a gross affront to the men who are navigating the ship of state, and who have been placed in their positions by the voice of the electors.We have grown tired of listening to wails, pleading to bring back to the arena, Judge Mathieu, or Judge Loranger or Judge anybody else.The Province is not dependent on those gentlemen, however able they might have been in their'' time.We have the legislators with us, the men approved of by the country at large.From them we must select our Ministers.The Judgeshave had their day, so far as Parliament is concerned.They may now be allowed to administer the law, and in their learned leisure, seats at Royal Commissions and Enquêtes, can be found for them.Notes and News HERE AND ELSEWHERE.remonnl liitelllecnre.Hon.Dr.Ross arrived iu town yesterday afternoon.The Lord Bishop

Will you kindly Inform your correspondent \u2014who lives in a place were there is no public library\u2014why all this fuss about John the Baptist\u2019s essene eleve l I know that he was the first disciple ; but being the first is no warranty that he was the best.When his Master got into trouble, he (Andrew) must have taken uncommonly good care of himself, as none of his valiant deeds arc historically recorded.Tradition\u2014not th i best authority\u2014has been kinder to him than history has been.It (tradition) makes a martyr of him ; but it places the event in 70 A.D.He must have been pretty ripe then.If Professor Crockett would but unroll him self out of the mummified Hebrew parchment that his soul loveth, he could, no doubt, tell us about Peter\u2019s brother.'Tis true, that on the last night of November, the Professor spoke very feelingly about Scotland\u2019s Saint.But as compliments were Hying that evening, everything then said, cannot be taken as ex cathedra ! To morrow will be Sunday, Saint and sinner, Dives and Lazarus will go to Church The wealthy, who have been deified (!) all week, will to-morrow exhibit their broadcloth in comfortable pews, while the insufficiently clad labourer, who has toiled as a slave ; and the tired washerwoman, who scrubbed all the week on her knees ; will\u2014 in the most of ewes\u2014have no pew to sit in, and no hassock to fender their aching bones from the bare floor.The Communism of John the Baptist is today contempuously ignored by even those who profess to be walking iu his footsteps.In almost all our churches, the rich and the poor are as far apart us the poles, or the planets, and the worship of the almighty dollar tramples in the dust all honest opposition.It has debased manhood, chained womanhood, and palsied religion.Will this calamitous demoralization continue much longer?This debasing worship of that contemptible idol\u2014 it\\e golden calf ol the nineteenth century! Shades of the ancient Andrew forbid ! Your obedient servant, W.E.Simpson Levis, Saturday evening, 3rd December, IHOS.Browning's Love of Society.(Stopford A.Brooke, in the Christmas Century.) One of the first times I met him was in thé company of a few young men of no name and position whatever, and I never remember him more brilliant.He seemed enchanted to talk to us, and told us of his youthful life when he was writing \u201cParacelsus,\u201d of all the men he then met, aud of what kiud they were and of all his doings with the actors aud the stage when he was bringing out \u201cStrafford As 1 listened, I seemed to look within aud to see arranged in his wonderful memory a mul titude of subjects and compositions, as it were, of the scenery of human nature ; nor was I less struck wilh his capacity for bring iug forth out of his treasures things new and old, when on a day of his later life, leaning over the balcony of the Hotel Uni verso at Venice, he was moved to speak to me of his life in Italy.All that he met he remembered, and what he remembered he naturally com posed, like an artist, into drama, or lyric, or narrative in his heart.He had hundreds of unwritten poems within, and could use them when and how he pleased ; and if such multitudinousness would have been trou blesorne, for example, to Tennyson as an artist, it was not a trouble but a stimulant to Browning.He was master of the many \u201cstudies\u2019^ he possessed.He gained them in his social existence, and if he had not lived iu this continual to-and-fro of human life, we should have lost not only a large number of those poems which touch and fix lyric mo monts of passion or conscience or spiritual feeling, but also that incessant hy-play of human nature which, carried ou by a number of minor characters, fills the Itaokground of his larger pieces.There is no need to give examples of this coruscating by-play.Their uame is legion, but the putting of them in, the incessant parenthesis iu which they are inserted, the side-steps he runs out of his main subject to make, the incursions off the roa«l into the wild country, account for a great deal of the obscurity with which slothful persons have charged him, and if they are not quite good art, arc at least of extraordinary interest.That Pale Face.For Nervous Prostration and Anaemia there is no medicine that will so promptly and infallibly restore vigor and strength as Scptt s Emulsion\ttu,thls»t&w Ladies Underwear.Ladies\u2019 Natural Wool Vests or Pants.Ladies\u2019 ImjKirted Ribbed Vests, High Neck and Long Sleeves, Same with Short Sleeves.Men\u2019s Underwear.Men\u2019s Canadian, Scotch and Natural Wool Shirts and Drawers.Ladies Hosiery.Ladies\u2019 Plain and Ribbed Cashmere Hose.Ladies\u2019 Shetland Wool Hose, Black & Colored.Men\u2019s Hosiery.Men\u2019s Heavy all-wool and Cashmere Half-Hose ONE PRICE ONLY th* PUBLIC ACGUNTANT m LIQUIDATOR.Attends to Auditing of Accounts, re adjusting Books and preparing Balance Sheets.Prints\u2014All our best quality light Prints offered at l\u20182c.and 1 tc.; usual prices, 15c.and 17c.Sateen Prints-Fine quality, only 17c.; former price 21c.Pinafores -Iu white Lawn, 2Sc.and 38c.Pinafores\u2014In white Muslin, 3Hc., 40c., 45c., 48c., 55c.and 74c.Pinafores\u2014In white Mull, 39c., 58c., 68c.Pinafores -In linen Diaper, 88c., 95c., and 81-10.Pinafores\u2014In white CottonStripe, 39c.and 68c.Ribbons\u2014300 pieces lately received, in Satin and Corded in Buttercup, Rose d'Orient, Watteau, Pomme, Heliotrope, Moss, Cardinal, Coral, Pink, Sky, etc.Prices, 5Jc., 6Jc.8Jc., 10c., 11c., 12c., 13c.aud 15c.Kid Gloves\u2014Undressed Mousquetaire, in Tun Shades, 88c., 81.00, §1.18, according to length.Ladies\u2019 Dress Kids, 4 Battons, only 88c.Gents\u2019 2 Button Kid Gloves, only 88c.In deer skin, only §1.00.Serge Dresses\u2014For boys.In Navy, Pleated Skirt, only SI.58 ; all wool.Linen Handkerchiefs \u2014 Ladies\u2019 size, only 12c.and 14c.Hemstitched Handkerchiefs\u2014 All Linen, 16c.t 19c.and 23c.Ladies\u2019 size.Gents\u2019 Linen Handkerchiefs\u2014 All Linen, 14c.and 19c.In Hemstitched, 29c.Fancy Handkerchiefs\u2014With Co lored Borders, 8c., 10c.and 12c.Children\u2019s, 4c.and 6c.Dress Goods\u2014in Fancy Checks, only 12c.Homespun, all Wool and double width, reduced to 27c.Meltons, in Navy and Myrtle, 22c.Low-priced all Wool Block Goods.Estonien Serges, 29c.and 31c.French Twill, 25c.and 29c.Wide Black Cashmere.48c.Collars and Cuffs\u2014Reduced to 25c.and 35c.Mob Caps\u2014At 9c.and 15c.Oriental Lace Caps\u2014Fine Lace, 48c., 55c.and 68c.Aprons\u2014Housemaid\u2019s largo size white Lawn, 35c.and 38c.Extra, 48c.and 65c.a very large variety.Gents\u2019 Silk Handkerchiefs\u2014In Cream, White and Colors.Prices, 63c., 72c., 85c.aud 95c.Fancy Art Silks\u201432 inches wide, 88c, F.SIMA-KD, 137 St.Joseph Street, St.Roch\u2019e.Telephone 145.November 19, 1892.\tFeb22-Lm LIQUIDATION I Great Cheap Sale \u2014 OF- Dry Goods Î Being about to make a change n cmr business, we are now offering our large and extensive stock of STAPLE AND FANCY DRY GOODS -AT- Ail Immense Reduction !

In this city is a bright gentleman who knows how to do anything aud everything just a little better than any one else in all the world.He instructs boat-builders how to build boats and yachtsmen how to sail yachts.Artists are given gratuitous instructiou in how to paint pictures and authors in the pleasant pastime of writing books.Lawyers are told off-haud how to conduct cases, and as for merchants, the information given them about business is without stint.Lansing Mizner, jr.f is now telling this story on the gentleman of such universal knowledge \u201cDuring the last big earthquake X and I were rooming together.Just as the earth was at its wiggliest, when the walls cracked, the chandeliers swung dizzily, aud from the pantry came the despairing crash of a fortune m crockery, X awoke.His first words were : \u201c \u2018 Hold on, Lord.Let me show you.\u2019 \u201d Father Tolton, the first American black man to be made a priest, objects to being called \u201ccolored.\u201d \"That word is an offensive affectation.I am a negro\u2014a woolly headed negro,\u2019\u2019 says Father Tolton, whose head is evidently as hard as it is woolly.For Ladies\u2019 winter coats in all the latest styles go direct to S.Carsley\u2019s, Notre Dame street, Montreal.We now offer our entire stock of Ladies\u2019 Jackets and Mantles AT A REDUCTION OF 20 PER CENT FOR CASH ONLY c found in Ins work.Nor are the thoughts themselves complex.The difficulty of understanding his poetry lies in the way in which thoughts in themselves quite simple arc expressed.1 hey are twisted, entangled, and broken up \"minier which I do not like to call wilful, but which has that air ; and this is not good art.What is simple ought to 1m kept simple, not changed into riddles, or over-w helmed with fantastic ornament.He has also another fashion, and quite a different one, w hich makes him difficult.Sometimes he is as compressed, incisive, and vigorous as he isat other times careless and fluttering in thought.He has a wiy of leaping straight to his thought ami clinching it at once, without taking us through any of t lie thoughts that led to it.We see the thing, but not the process ; and we have to work out the process for ourselves.Jhat is quite legitimate in poetry, when there is not too much of it, and the man who complains of that difficulty has no business to read poetry at all.But when a number of these completed thoughts are expressed one after another in a few lines, without any care for show ing their connection ; when they so jostle and trip up one another that they arc not really seen as wholes but as halves\u2014 then the poetry does becomes more difficult than any artist ought to permit his work to be.Some people like this ; but it is for the most part the trouble it gives them which they like, and not the poetry ; the intellectual exercise to which they are put, and not the passionate feeling in the verse, which is, of course, what Browning most wished them to enjoy.The thought, when they have disentangled it, is dear to them and pleases their vanity, because they had such hard work to find it out\u2014the nut tasting sweet in proportion to the difficulty of tho shell.But this is not love of poetry, but of one\u2019s ow n cleverness.Moreover, when the thought is found out, it is often the same as Wordsworth or Milton has expressed in luminous language, but which, being quite clear to a child, does not give these persons the pleasure of a double acrostic.Quebec Fire Alarm Telegraph.LIST OF THE FIRE ALARM BOXES ST.LOCIS WARD.Box AO.\\.St Ursule street, Central Station.St.Annand D'Auteuil streets.3.\tDes Gl issons and St.Genevieve streets.4.\tHahhmand and St Louis streets.Academy \u201ef Music, St.Louis street.6.\tDesjardins and St.Ann streets.palace w'ard.7.\tBniide and Port Dauphin streets, n\u2019 r* u !

Committee consist- |\tn0rd et - ing of lx>rd Watson, Lord Hobhouse, Lord Macnaghten, Lord Mort is, and Lord Hannen, when their Lordships reserved judgment.Lord Hannen now delivered the judgment of their Lordships.He «aid the subject-matter of the appeals was a tract of country on the northern shore of the Gulf of St.Law rence, extending from Cape Cormorant to the Strait of Belle Isle, a distance of more than 400 miles, with a depth of six miles.The Labrador Company was in possession of that territory.The Attorney General for Que that that was the correct interpretation of the grant, and that it conceded to Missel no seigneurie on the mainland, but only a right to make establishments for fishing and hunting up to Sept Isles and also in the Grand Ansc.But it was contended on behalf of the Labrador Company that, even if the grant of 1(M»1 did not in itself create a seigneurie on the mainland in favour of Missot, that effect was produced by an ordonnante of Intendant Hoctiuart In 17-T1 and the subsequent action upon it by the French Crown.That ordonnance was pronounced in a suit instituted in 1732 by Pieire Carlier, the Adjudicataire-Général des Fermes Unies de France et du Domaine d\u2019occident, against the heirs of Francois Bissot (who had died in 1076), ami the heirs of Sieurs Lalande ami Louis Jolyet, to whom the seigneuries of the isles and islets of Mingan had been granted by the French Crown in 1679, calling upon them to show by virtue of what title they bad taken possession of the territory occupied by them ou the terre du nord (i.e., the mainland north of the St.Lawrence) below the river Moisy up to the Bay of the Spaniards.The Adjudicataire-Général did not dispute the title of Jolyet fi fs and seigniories \u2014 namely, Perthuts, Hubert, Mille VTaches, Mingan, and the island of Anticosti are not settled, the tenure under which the said seigniories arc now held by the present proprietors of the same respectively, shall he and is hereby changed into the tenure of franc ale.n roturier.\" That was an absolute stulemem by the legislature that there was a seigneurie of Mingan.Even if it could be proved that the Legislature w-as deceived, it would not be competent for a Court of law to disregard its enactments.If a mistake had been made the Legislature alone could correct it.The Act of Parliament had declared that there was a seigneurie of Mingan, and that thenceforward its tenure should be changed Into that of franc aleu roturier.The Courts of law coiild not sit in judgment on the Legislature, but must obey and give effect to its determination.It remained only to consider what w\u2019as the seigneurie of Mingan to which the Act of 18.r>6 referred.It hud been contended for the Crown that there was a seigneurie of Mingan to which the Act of 1856 referred.It had been contended for the Crown that there wasa seigneurie of the isles and islets of Mingan which might have boon intended.The answer to that contention was that the QUEBEC POST OFFICE GUIDE.IDEOEIMIIBIEIR, 1802._ CLOSE.MAILS.DUE- A.M.p.m.P.M \u2019 11.30 - th'-\u201c1'*ot-\tI s suivent jusqu\u2019à was that of \u201cthe isles and islets of Mingan,

the company in possession of the rest.The River.Àgwanus or Goynish was taken as the dividing Hue, the Crown recovering all that lies to the east of that river, and the company keeping all that lies to

of January next.One of the most important cases in which a decision was rendered was that of Duchesnay and the city, in which it was held that the city had a right to impose taxation upon Government
