to be proposed at the coming session of the Legislature.There is an apparent desire on the part of almost every member of every Legislature who belongs to the legal profession, and on that of many who do not belong to it, to connect their names with amendments to some of the Codes.This tinkering is one of the worst nuisances of every session.It is true that up to very recently the several Codes in force in this Province left much to be desired, and often just as much or more of it at the close of a session of the Legislature as at its beginning.But the Code of Civil Procedure as it now stands is the outcome of five years\u2019 work by as brilliant a commission of experts as it was possible to secure, drawn alike from the members of both political parties.Nobody pretends that it is absolutely perfect, but the profession and the public are sufficiently sati?-tied with it to be ready to support the Government in opposition to any new and thoughtle-sly considered amendments.In this connection we have much pleasure in reprinting the following interview with the Hon.T.C.Casorain, M R.ex-Attornoy-General, from the Montreal Gazelle : \u2014 \u201cA Gazette reporter had an intervi»w will Hon.T.C.t asgrain, oueof the Commit S'oneri for the révision of the Code of Civil Procedure, which came into force on the 1st of September, 1897.Mr.Caaitraiti\u2019a attention waa drawn fo the statement to the effect that, at the suggestion of Messrs.Chaput Freres, the Attorney-General had promised to amend the code, during the approaching session, so as to permit of the imprisonment of dishonest debtors according to the \u2018rules which prevail in Ontario.\u2019 \u2018These provisions,\u2019said Mr.Caagrain, Vf the Oatario law, were not at all overlooked by the Commissioners.On the contrary, this question of the imprisonment of judgment debtors who are able, bat unwilling, to pay their debta, was fully considered and discuss ed at great length.' \u2018It must not be supposed,\u2019 he added, \u2018that the Ontario law allows the imprisonment of all such debtors as those referred to.The process is one confined to the Division Court, the jurisdiction of which extends up to §200.It i«, therefore, confined to judgments fora maximum of §200, and can only be used in cises of clearly liquidated commertiAl debts.Our reporter then aaked Mr.Caegraia what reasons the cointmtsiouers saw for not intro duciog this process into the new code.\u2018There were several reasi ns,' replied Mr.Casgrain.\u2018In the first place, the code contains, as far as we could eee all the provisions which could be with safety introduced to protect the creditor sgainat dishonest debtors, such as capias, abandonment of property, examiuatioocf debtors after judgment, saisie-conservatoire (conservatory attachment), etc.From investigation and reports received, the conimisstonera came to the conclusion that it would have been a retrograde step to introduce such legislation into the new code ; and, after a great deal of deliberation, decided to leave it out.\u2019 \u2022Do you expect maoy amendments to the new code during the present session ?\u2019 \u2018The present Attorney-General, who I am glad to say, I know very well, was one of my firmest supporters in the policy which I introduced in 1893, in relation to the new code, and I had much pleasure iu having him ap- Eointed one .i f the j dut committee of the egislature in 1895 by which the new code was considered.Mr.Archambault under stands perfectly that a code, which cost as much labor as the present one did, is not to be lightly tampered with.The old Code of Procedure became almost unintelligible because amended in a hap-hazard style, at nearly every session, without any regard to its ememhle The Municipal Code is in a chaotic state to-day for the same reason.Of course, I am very far from pretending that the new Code of Procedure is perfect, li is \u2022imply the result of five years of very careful study by five gentlemen who had before them the Codes of Civil Procedure of Franc», Germany, Geneva, several States of the Arne-rioan Union, the Judicature Acts of England, Ontario, etc., and who conscientiously labored to give the Province as good a compendium of procedure laws aa their ability and experience (however limited), could produce.I do not apprehend that the Attorney .-General will, without due considération,' allow this work to be mutilated.\u2019 \u201d EDITORIAL NOTES.A wretched use has been nude of the telegram which Lord and Lady Aberdern sent to the Nulty family before it was known that their son Tom had committed the deed.Asa matter of fact the Ncltys had to be told who the senders of the despatch were.Some unwise people of Raw-don have issued the following An abominable crime has been committed in our district, and the blood of four innocent victims cries for vengeance.The sanguinary brute is now in Juliette, and the evidence of sympathy coming from high places shows us that the murderer, on account of his nationality, may look for protection in high places and may escape punishment.\u201d The above, of course, is unjustifiable, but all agree that the telegram was as unfor tunato as many other acts of the illustrious couple during their sojourn in Canada.America is of course a free country and every native born\tAmerican citizen may aspire to the highest position in the country.Garfield rose to the Presidency from the canal tow path.But Canada has had a Premier, practically as all-powerful in his own country as the President

motive for our adversaries to detest and persecute him.The other day a Montreal delegation went to see him at Ottawa to force him to make an absurd and ridiculous appointment.He frankly refused, declaring that among bis employees promotions belonged to the most orthy and capable.Tlie delegates returned with rage in their heart.They had met a man of honor and a just man.\u2019 \u201d Notes and

that man ha* nobly claimed for himself the right to The Montreal fVitnes* describes the church § trade of E «stern Star Lodge, Montreal, to 6.Thomas\u2019 Church on Sunday, where th sermon was preached by R.\\Y.Brother, the Rsv.J.F.H maiul, Past Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of Qaebec, and the present Chaplain of Eastern Star Lodge.The Rev.Brother Renaud preached an eloquant and timely sermon from the words of the Apostle Paul, \u201cAnd now abideth faith, hope, charity \u2014these three, but the greatest of these is charily.\u201d Ev*ry true Mason, said the preacher, trusteth in God ; piety and virtue were two of the grandest principles in the Masonic Urder.They could therefore well utnler-\u2022taui^liow it grieved the heart of every true Mason when there went forth from amongst them those who ignored the great priociple and the great light in every Masonic Lodge\u2014 God and the Bible.And in this connection he referred to the recent proclamation\u2014his grand pastoral, he called it\u2014issusd by the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Quebec, in which he declared that as the Grand Orient of Franca had ignored the Bible, the great light of Masonry, and had dispensed with thft necessity for that belief and trust in God which was an essential to all true Freemasonry, it had forfei ed all oDim to Masonic re ongui:ion, aod placed itself beyond the pa'e rf legitimate Freemasonry ; and as the dar-g^r to Frce.masonry generally was greatly in creased by (he formation in this city of a Lodge under that Grand O ient which did rot recognize the most essential tenets of the O der, and did not profoss >a belief in God, he theref re, in indioatton of the sovereignly of the Grand Lodge of Quebec, aud of tte inherent rights and prerogatives of their ancient and loyal fraternity, declared si ch pretended Lodge under th ;

you have a city unparalleled in ancient or modern times, the head and centre of the commerce of the world.Ami winding through it in big curves runs the Thames, wide and deep and dark, with the city itself for its embankments, and spanned by twenty bridges.It is lit up in a manner most fantastical, from either side, from the bridges, from all the various craft, that sail upon it, and from its own surface reflecting all the other lights.Rapidly, and with little Boise, but what there is of it persistent and inimitable, save wheu it rushes beneath the bridges and the vast sheet of its streugth is torn asunder, it seems to follow its own sweet will, but is in truth the slave of the sea and of the mistress of the sea.Sometimes it is almost 30 feet deep, sometimes only 8 feet, and its pride varies accordingly.For at high tide it sweeps along most majestically, but at low tides its voice is choked with mud, and it ripples sullenly round the broad feet of the bridges.But at night you hardly notice the differ* encc, and if only the sky he clear, the river is in its glory, whether it be high or low tide.Strangely enough at night you cannot associate the river with the idea of sleep.At sunrico \u201cthe very houses seem asleep,\u201d but at midnight ycu fed that a hat has been asleep all day has come to life.The reign of shadow and phantasm has begun ; terror and danger and crime seem \u2022 lurk wherever the night is darkest in the hidden places by the river.It was at suoh a time, when the century was 3 oung, that the river rats crept up against the tide in dirty crazy boats ; ghoulish wretches w ho lived on what they could soatch from the river, dragging it with their evil eyes for the drifting dead whom ac rident, foul play, or despair had committed to its careless keeping.Up and down the river went tl.e thieves among the unwarehoused meichandiee, that littered the banks of the river.Down to the river came the fugitives from the law, sure to find there a hiding place that would defy detect iou.Now all is changed, and the river by night K perhaps, more closely watched and patrolled than any street in London.Aud this has been KPFKCTKD RY TUE RIVER POLICE.By day and night, and in all kinds of weather, little boats with three policemen in them are coming in and going out from the three ststious on the river, at Charing-cross, at Wapping, and atBlackwall.There is a steam launch, too, used only tor special service, but ready at a moment\u2019s notice to go in any direction.At each station there are all the appliances, including a bed and hot bath, for restoring those who have still life in them when rescued from the river.Everything is in perfect order, and goes like clockwork.In winter lime it is often cruelly cold on the river, but despite the sleet, or snow, or Lost, the little boats with tho three dark figures in them steal swiftly and silently up and down the river, often miles away from their stations.The early morning, when there is a white mist on the river that with clammy fingers seizes you by the throat, is the time when it is most trying for the river police to turn out and do their duty.\u201cIt\u2019s rot easy work,\u201d said one of them ; \u201cand it soon finds out any weak spot.Very few men could stand it, and so, as far ss health is concerned, you may say that all the river police are picked men.Still, if you have a sound body and lake proper care of it, it is wonderful what you can go through.I\u2019ve been on the river now more than fifteen years, and I can hardly remember a day's illness.But I have always taken great care of myself.You can\u2019t mollycoddle yourself, but there\u2019s a lot of good medicine in taking proper food, and keeping yourself tit generally.A man wiih a weak chest or a weak heart couldn\u2019t stand the life for a week.Down here at the points where one has got accustomed to the river the life seems natural enough tome; but I\u2019ve often been surprised at myself

but our principal duty is in finding bodies or rescuing them, and looking after the property all along the river.You would be surprised at the goods worth thousands of pounds that lie quite unguarded along the river.But nowadays hardly any thieving goes on.You may account for it by the fact that the thief never knows when our boats will steal upon him, but the main cause is the manner in which the receivers have been tracked down.They cannot dispose of the river goods quick enough to escape detection.;\u2019 \u201cDo you have many suicides?\u201d\t( \u201cOh, yes.But it\u2019s very cur» us, they don\u2019t occur ii cularly.Nor is it a c»se of epidemics in which one simply follows anothei\u2019s example.It all depends upon the season of the year.In heavy, oppressive weather suicides are very comnu n ; in winter there are hardly any.Not so long ago the favourite place for anicides was Waterloo-bridge, but now they prefer Westminster-bridge and the Embankment.On a quiet night we can hear them fall into the water, and though it is dark it is wonderful how soon we manage to get hold of them.\u201d \u2018\u2018When they are insensible how do they behave on their awakening ?\u201d

here last spring with a collection of Oriental ait production, mta secured the hall of the Institut Canadien n Fabrique rreet, where ho intends to exhibit and sell by auction a very choice assort-neut of these valuable good*, which include Rugs, Carpets, Palace -Srrips, SUir Carpets, Portieres and Embroideries.It is perhaps \u2022ot generally known that all O.ieutal Rugs, vhioh are the most beautiful in the world, re woven by hand, no machinery whatever \u2022eing used, ivs the workmen of those eastern ouutri-M are very much prejudiced against he use of machinery of any kind, and to d.-y hey make their carpets and rugs by hand, he same as they did centuries ago.The vo:k of weaving a carpet in this way is so -low that it frequently requires several years o complete a su-gle one.A curious feature f the work is that the weaver does not work rom any regular design, hut makes up the icsign as the work proceeds.The result is that no two Oriental Rugs are ever ix oily s i\u2019ll *.The skill of rug making is a talent r.h-r-ced fro.it g,-f,-rati-os o' rug Weaver*, -n-i in .ipir.i* i f all the machinery and art of | he wes'eri! world, these beautitol OiienUl l R gs, though often

by chemical means.The antique Daghestan Rug* and ( amel's H lir.Strip* are greatly icres.^ \u2022\u2022! in value by age and by certain i-vgc.ih ir«r u,.j i -Ijh mosque* an I \u2022n ines cf O-i.-oti!

Gaiety's petfjrmancrs this week.The programme is artistic and refined, atd though there are some acrobatic trapete acts they are so vt-fy fine that le (ont ensemble makes up a bill which can hardly be excelled.The singing of Misses Eckert and Darrell might be heard in one cf our very best concerts.While Mr.Heck is a wonderful all-rourd musician.His playing on the cello, guitar and violin elicits tvery b'gbt any amount of favorable comments and calls for thunders of applause.To\u2019mOrrow there will be a grand matinee for la-lies and children.A special programme is being arranged to please the little ones.Miss Thomson's Sudden Death.We regret to learn of the sudden death the night before last of Miss C.A.Thomson, who resided on the Grande AlK'e, In the 'Oar-neau block As Miss Thomson, who was somewhat eccentric in her Ways', wished to live altogether alone, a woman merely came Id to prepare her n\\c* Tound the door locked and had '\u2022> gs! in by another entrance, where she ound Miss Thomson stretched on the floor but still breathing.Dr.Rinfret was at once summoned and did all in hie power for the palien:,whodied at 8.30o\u2019clcck.Paralysis was the cause of death and an inquest will not be held.It is said that a sister of the deceased lady, herself over 80 years of age, was at the time eti route for Quebec from Toronto, and proposed to spend the winter here.On arriving in town yesterday morning she heard for the first time of the sad event.Youngr Men\u2019s Christian Association.The Union meeting held last evening in the Association Hall was an interesting

Morrin Collage, who Has already deservedly earned a reputation as One of the most able an 1 entertaining lecturers who ever appeared before a Quebec audience, is booked tor a lecture to-morrow night on \u201cThe Battlefield nf Ltl\u2018*en,\u201d The lecture is under the anspioee of the Literary and Historical Society and ts the opening one of the course, which promises to be extremely attractive.It will he delivered in the College Building,Stanislasstreet, and all are Welcotne, though those holding cards naturally have the preference.The subject affords wide scope, and we urd-mstaad that the Professor purposes to describe in a general way the various warlike scenes which have forever rendered memorable this theatre of multitudinous epoch makiog battles.Both historically and from a literary standpoint a rare treat is promised to all who can attend, for in the course i f his extensive travels and residence abroad Professor Gunn has repeatedly gone over the ground he is to treat of.McGill University.OT,EK AND BANJO CLUBS COMINO.One of the rarest and most unique musical treats ever offered the ciiitens of Quebec, will take place on Haturday evening, Novemuer 27th, when the McGill University (>lee and Banj » Club* will make their first appearance in Quebec under the direction of Mr.Rdland Paul, and under the distinguished patronage c-f His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor,- 8ir J.A.C lapleau, K C.M.G., the Board of Uoveroom < f the Morin College, and Lt.-Col.J» F.Wilson, C imma'idaut of \u201cB\u201d Butery, K C A.The McGill students who Comprise this musical combination have already appeared in aD most every principal city rfthe Dominion, where they have earned for themselves a well-merited reputation, and liktwiee met with unqu.l fied success.Tbe Cnsrlotte-town, P.E I.Patriot says of a similar performance :\u2014\u201cThe high reputation of tlieir musical combination, led citizens to anticipate something more than tbe ordinary, and We rejoice to stats that the large, biiltiant and critical audience assembled in the Opera House last night, evidenced by most generous applause, their apprecialiou of the classical rendition of the numbers on the souvenir programme.The voices nf the Glee Club demonstrate careful training.Thair songs are full of harmony, being at times rattling with fire, and again as soft and as sweet, as ascent laden breezs from the sunny south.It was a revelation to a Charlottetown audience to note the skid with which the Banjo Club handled banjo, guitar, bandolain and mandoline.Such music one might listen to by the hour and never weary.\u201d A Strong: Bill at the Casino.Notwithstanding tho inclement weather, another orowded house greeted the representation of this week's company at the Casino Theatre last night.We might here state that such an aggregation of stars has seldom if ever been brought together in any theatre in our city.It seems hardly credible that week after week such excellent attractions as have been put on the boards tince the opening of this theatre cm be secured and presented to our Quebec public for the small admission prices of 10c.and 20.*.It must be highly satisfactory to the management to have such liberal patron »ge from the general public, by the way they attend every performance in such large numbers.The Electric Railway, which passes the doors of -be Casino, is a great convenience for the numerous uptown patrons.Miss Marguerite Faure, who is already well known, and who has created s-ioh a furore by her handsome faco and winning manners, has been re-engaged for this we* k, and her choice sslectton of new songs arc most enthusiastically received.Mi*s Faure is really one of the prettiest la lies on the stage to-day.A big attraction are the Japs, who perform uome of the most clever tricks that are usually shown by these people.Their juggling and balancing deserve great commendation.Their Udder balancing created quite a sensation.Mi*s Lillian Wright has a very pleasant voice.Ic must he admitted that the Casino appears this week to have a mortgage on pretty faces.Miss Wright has also a most engaging manner and quite captivates her audience.The two eccentricities, nicknamed \u201cSharp and Flatt,\u201d in their musical sketches were excellent.Theirs is the beat that h s been seen hrra f >r » long I'mo.Their mnsical qualities are wonderful, and are perfect masters of the most difficult and intricate mu8:cal instruments, producing the moat exquisite melodies.They also kept the audience in roars of laughter with their comic saying*.Their fio*l act, introducing the sleigh bells and the miniature electric lights, had quite a wonderful effect and cau>-ed the wildest enthusiasm.Bart Jordan has few superiors in the art of eccentric dancing.He gave sumo very laughable an I amusing imitatio-ia ( f comic step dancing.His vocal powers, however, arc not strong enough for the Urge hall.Mr.Wm.do Bee, rank* among the highest aerial artists of the age, ind his productions this week at the Casino are causing unbounded enthusiasm, being almost entirely out of the u.-u il rut of aerial performers.His pirapharnalia is also handsomely lighted by electricity.Miss I la Howell in ner repertoire of the latest song! and admirably rendered give the utmest «*-tiefaotion.Miss Howell had to respond to frequent ercorep.Baldwin and Daly, the happy hottentots, are about the most orginal comedian* that have appeared before a Quebec audience.Their tumbling and high kicking feats were something remarkable.A big week\u2019s pitro.-age and revenus to Manager Veramle and his D.rect >rs is certainly due for the m \u2022gnificent programme that has been imported to our city, in order to give ^.ur puV.'.c

father of the groom, and Mr.Arthur Small, of Montreal, and Miss Mills and Mr.Charles Grose, of Toronto.Mr.and Mrs.Watson left on an eastern trip, after which they will take up their residence in Montreal.A BIG MORTGAGE RECORDED.Menominee, Mich., Nov.18-The largest mortgage ever recorded in the registrar\u2019s office was transcribed yesterday.It wus the mortgage of the Chicago and North-Western Railway Company, to the United States Trust Company, of New York, and John A.Stewart, trustee, and was for $165,000,000.The mortgage was in the regular form aud made a pamphlet if eighty-three printed; pages and is effectuai until 1987.DID NOT KNOW IT WAS LOADED.Indianapolis, Ind., Nov.16\u2014Cecil Robinson, fourteen years old, shot and instantly killed his scventecn-year-old

Bismarck,N D., N »v.16-An interesting legal question is presented by Sunday\u2019s lynching of three of the murderers of the Spicer family.Two of the men, Holytrack and Ireland, were the Stale's witnesses, and without their testimony the State has no ou*e agiinst the two surviving suspects, Black Hawk and Defender.There is, therefore, no possibility o! convicting them before any tribunal, for
