of the Powers is doubtless playing its own game, but for the present the question of obtaining fresh supplies of money, rules the decision of the Sultau.Sir Edgar Vincent, Governor of the Imperial Ottoman Bank, was in Berlin prior to his going to Vienna for the purpose of conferring with the members of the Vienna syndicate, and while there he saw representatives of the leading German financiers to whom he proposed the raising of a Turk-isk three per cent, loan upon the conversion of old debts and the general guarantee of the Powers, proposing also a scheme of reform of the Turkish Debt

melancholy view of the present and future prospects of its city.The fact of the matter is, it says, that this city (Toronto), is in a comatoee condition.Toronto is at a standstill, if it is noton the down grade.lianiiltQn\u2019s business men are much more enterprising.They have their blast furnace and the Westinghouse Company eye about to .establish a branch of their business in that city.Mayor Fleming responsible for Toronto\u2019s loss of the blast furnace.No enterprise of any magnitude has been started in Toronto for many years.The World says >\u2014\u201cWe aye degenerating into a city of *hop-keepers, school teachers and speculators, trying to make money by selling real estate and mining shares to one another.We are making no effort to extend our trade by building railways into the back country, The Ottawa and Parry Sound Railway will be opened for traffic in a few days, and still further inroada will be made in business that has hitherto been controlled by Toronto.Montreal and Ottawa are in possession of the trade of the Mattawa and Nipigsing districts and of the country further west, tributary to the G.P.R The Parry Sound and Ottawa Railway will give them possession of all Northern Ontario down to within 100 miles of Toronto.We are losing our grip on the whole of that northern couu try,.Montreal will also very likely get the business of new Ontario, which is sure to develop very rapidly.W^Bin the next two or three years there will be hundreds of mines in active operation in that dis trict.There will be a detyand for ^tamp mills and other mining machinery th^t will be fully equal to the business that is being done in this line by Rossland.Alld as yet Toronto manufacturers are making sro r>t£ort to secure the market.Montreal will be on the ground ahead of us, and the city that supplies the territory with its machinery is the one that will command the rest of the trade.\u201d If Toronto is losing ground in this way, what can be said of Quebec 1 The finest and once the busiest harbor in America is absolutely deserted We make no effort to bring back trade to and when a few of our business men seek to take advantage of the greatest opportunity the city has ever had of getting the Western trade\u2014we allude to the Parry Sound Railway\u2014our people stand idly by, and refuse to try to help themselves, in helping them.We hope to see the City .Council getting an example in this matter, now that the debt conversion scheme is disposed of.The above Vignot e shows the Very Latest Parisian Style of Ladieü\u2019 Winter Jacket, and in

Bloomfield Douglas, an old officer of the Marine Départaient at Ottawa, goes to ttxa Maritime Provinces to investigate charges of offensive partisanship against certain officers of the Department.tides is ns much as Canada, for a long time, cheese excepted, will have to send abroad.Again, and in closing, we would say that a fast service alone would not prove profitable to any company.Every line possessing fast vessels has found it necessary to maintain a fleet of cargo steamers.The one is a complement .of the other.The first serves to advertise the line, while the humbler vessel, without notoriety, does the heavy work.It is the application to sea transit of that scientific subdivision of labor which has now become almost universal.To each class of vessels falls its own peculiar work, but the cargo carrier, with the largest capacity and in the most economical manner, must always accompany the fast boat ; each does what the other cannot do, and the public, it has been found, can best be served by diing their different kinds of work in different vessels.Such then are the reasons for the adoption of the 20-knot steamer in preference to any other.It is somewhat costly \u2014good things usually are.The question rather is : Will it be worth the cost to the country ?and when viewed from the standpoint either of what it will return to the country from the increase of travel, or from an advertisement of the Dominion in the nations of Europe, or as an additional link in the strengthening of the Empire, the answer must be that it will be a well-placed investment for Canada.\u201d T#S FAST STEAMSHIP LINE.The Montreal Hcfald publishes an exceedingly argumentative and #'eU vpitteç article on the fast steamship service, from which we take the following extracts \u2018Another objection, and the last wo will refer to, is the cry that 20-knot steamer* will not carry much cargo, and hence will not meet the wants of the Patrons of Industry and our great

Legislative Coancil has adjoined till the 1st of December, the Assembly meets this afternoon after its brief adjournment, to continue the jgbate upon the Address in reply to the Speech from the Throne.This Address is now very different from what it was some years ago.The old practice was to make the Address an exact reflex of the Speech from the Throne.The House was thus asked to vote an expression of its satisfaction, paragraph by paragraph, with the polioy enunciated or the credit claimed by the Government in the Speech placed in the mouth of His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor.The consequence was that the debate was often unnecessarily extended and there was almost invariably a provocation to amendments on the part of the Opposition.Now all this has been changed, and changed, too, very much for the better.Considerable lime is thus saved, for even when the polby of thn Government is discussed at length in the course of the debate upon the Address, the entire dis cussion is repeated upon the merits of the Government measures when they come to be submitted to the House.The Address now cotsists of one paragraph only, and that merely an expression of thanks to His Honor the Lieutenant Governor for his Speech from the Throne.It is equally the practice, nowadays, to shorten the debate on the Address, and toad opt theformal vote of thanks that it proposes to the Lieutenant-Governor, without division, and usually-* without any or at all events much other debate than the speeches of themover and seconder,the criticism ef the Opposition leader and the Premier\u2019s reply thereto.This year, how ever, there is an unaccountable prolongation of the discussion, which is merely so much waste time, seeing, as a prominent member of the Opposition expressed it the other day to the Chronicle, that the whole ground will bo gone over again when the measures criticised come before the Ilou*e.Already the debite has lasted two days.1c is to be continued this afternoon, when it is understood that an Opposition amendment will be made, and according to an engagement arrived at between the two sides of the House, the debate ' will be closed before the Speaker leaves the chair for recess.The Estimates for the ensuing fiscal year will be pi iced before the House by the Treasurer this evening, as well as the supplementary ones for the current fiscal year.The House will thus be able to go i mediately into Supply, and the Budget Speech will either bo mule at the end of the week or in the early part of next week.It wdl thus be seen that if the session is not an exceedingly short one it will not be the fault of the Government.It is very probable that Mr.Cooke may enlighten the House to-day as to why he left the Conservative party.Notes and News.Personal Intelligence.Mr.and Mrs.Hugh Atiau, of Montreal,are n town.Mr.Geo.G.Foster, Q.C., of Montreal, is at the Chateau.Louis H.Tache, of Montreal, arrived at the Chateau

to find employment, but in vain.While there they contracted a board bill of $22.25, When they proposed to leave Watertown to try their fortunes elsewhere they wished to guarantee their bill by leaving their trunks.The landlady was not satisfied, bat insisted that their baby, a bright little fellow of about ten months, should be left, too.It was a hard alternative, bat they left the baby be hind and started out on the road with mandolin and guitar to earn enough nickels and dimes in the various towns through which they should pass to pay their board and eventually to redeem their baby.Mr.Lea took pity on them and invited them to stay with him a* long as they wished.They made money by playing on Saturday night, which they tendered Mr.L?afor board, but he declined to receive it, and teld them to keep the money, to be applied toward the recovery of their baby.Mr.Lea is an old theatrical manager.He says in his many years\u2019 experieuce he had heard of all sorts of things being left as

institution, if we are to judge from the apparently very practical and commendable scope of it* operations.Some two weeks ago it held the opening meeting for the session, when a very pleasant and sociable evening was spent.On Friday night last the secood of the meetings took place and proved to be a complete success.There was quite a fair audience preseot, and had the public been more generally aware of what kind of a treat was in store for them, it would undoubtedly have been much larger.The idea adopted by the Society, which contemplates the giving of lectures by well qualified parties occasionally, is a highly laudable one, and if all of them are to be of the interesting description of that delivered on Fridsy night, they might well be made open to the public.Prof.A.N.McIntyre lectured on education in Germany as compared with that in England, and handled his subject in a most masterly and interesting manner.From his long experience at Glasgow University, Scotland, and Jeua University, Germany, Prof.McIntyre is peculiarly qualified to treat of the matter, and during the course of the evening he quoted from leading English and European authorities in support cf his contentions.The lecturer introduced his subject by referring to the familiar inscription, \u201cMade in Germany,\u201d now found stamped upon so many classes of goods.The atamp he took to be a sign of the favor with which German goods are now meeting, and this could only result from their superiority.This superiority was clearly shown, too, by the trade returns which furnished evidence that the Germans were driving the English manufacturers out of their own home markets and those of the world in general.All this he attributed to the superiority of the German nation from a scientific standpoint, both educationally and industrially.He then proceeded to contrast the careful and thorough scientific training received by German students with the course which British University students pursued, and came to the conclusion that all the original and scientific research performed annually in British Universities did not equal what waa carried out in one of the smallest of the corresponding institutions in Germany.This fact Professor\u201d McIntyre did not attribute to any inferiority either on the part \u2022 f the British scientist or on that of his pupil, as much as to the relative methods pursued in the two countries.In England, Scotland or Ireland there was loo much of a mixture a rule, too muoh philosophy, classics, languages, etc , and too little science cf any department, whether chemistry or anything else.This was true of the Arts course for the degree of B A.and it was almost equally so in the Science course, which, in England, a student usually took only alter his Arts course, and jet strange to say the Chemistry cou.ses in both faculties we're identical.In Germany, on the othir hand, a student entire a University for the Duruqsv of studying chemistry alone, and yet he is a full fledged undergraduate.Not only is this so, but w hen he has once matriculated into one German University, he may enter any.If he does not happen to find a qoo,d professor in Jena he ipay go to Heidelburg and vice and so op for all the colleges in the lapdi The demop of exatninatioos does not like the sword of Damocles, hang as a phantom over his head, for he has no examination to pass except at the end of his course of three years, through his professor by watching his woik in the laboratory and by the verbal quiz classes which he holds, can generally form a first-class idea of what the student knows.The German too h^s one quality which the Britisher dqes pot as a nation* possess to any great degree, that of patience and perseverance.If a Germau does not at first succeed in a research, be goes on indefinitely for\ta mouth if necessary, until he does obtain the wished for result.The Englishman on the other hand will give up iu disgust at the end of a day or two.The Germans moreover do not finish their labor and research when they leave college, but continue it all through life, its direction being very often determined by the choice of the theme on which \"he has to base his thesis at the end of his college career.'L'his thesis takes tjhé plagie çj the final examinations in Çriiglan^, Ry (V he ' every thesis IS sent country, sometimes every professor has a chance to see it.If there happens to be any weak spot, the next scientific paper will contain a perfect deluge of criticisms hurled at the hapless writer.It is thus to the interest of every professor to hgve his students as welj up as possible.During his epufse the student has some extra subjects, such os possibly literature, philosophy, min eralogy, botany, or » modern language which he takas as a side dish, but his attention is always chiefly directed to the object in hand- After graduation he is awarded a room in the University if ho wishes, and there he can carry on his investigations and lecture to a class.If he succeeds in discovering anything he is well paid for it by the University.Many, however, of the leading discoveries of modern times in the scientific world have been qi&de by men who after era duatiop have carried on original research at home.}t was in this w ay that Phenncetine was discovered, and from it the discoverer has nqw made an immense fortune.In their education like\teverything else\tthe Germans are extremely thorough,\taud their scholastic\tyear instead of\tcontinuing for six\tmonths followed\tby a six months\u2019 rest, consists of a winter course and a summer course, each of about six months\u2019 duration.Prof.McIntyre, \"in the course of the early part of hij remark*.CURE Rick Headache and
