securiu^ the presence of noted speakers.Among the speakers invited wastlie Rev.Dr.Thomas, of Chicago, who was expelled from the Methodist Episcopal Church on account of heresy.Dr.Thomas would have failed to produce the interest which might fairly be looked for had he failed to give expression to those views in which be differs from his brethren, and he did bis duty in this respect, to the manifest dissatisfaction of the majority.Dr.Wild, whose eccentricity is on minor matters, was not objected to, while Dr* Talmage gave great delight.The First of the series of articles on onr national future will appear in to-morrow\u2019s paper.It is by a veteran statesman, who has not only been a close observer, but has bud part in most of the events of which he writes.The other articles, which will appear from day to day, are by the Rev* Joseph Cook, the eloquent Boston philo* sopher : Principal Grant, author of \" From Ocean to Ocean Benjamin Balte, one of the most notât»'e of French-Canadian historical writers; the Ron.L.S.Huntington, whose matured views on this subject have found a place in his work, \u201c Professor Conant Mr.Wm.Houston, who may be taken to represent a group of thinkers on the subject in Toronto, and Mr.Henri Beangrand.an accredited representative of the Liberal party in Quebec.It is to Lord Wolseley that wo owe the recognition of the qualities of nos bravts Canadiens as watermen.The old brigade of voyageurs which used annually to traverse the continent with Sir George Simpson from Lachine to the Mackenzie River in magnificent bark canoes, bolding seventy men each, would now be far to seek.That was the contingent that would have surmounted the Nile difficulties floating where they had two inches of water and carrying their boats, burdens and all, past the cataracts, singing all the way.The bateau men, also, who used to take freight from Montreal to Upper Canada would have overcome without a thought many a difficulty which has balked armies composed of men who know only how to perform evolutions in which they had been drilled.The lambermen of to-day are the best surviving repienentatives of this class of onr people, and it was a very happy thought to send for them.If there is anything in which the Canadian, and especially the French Canadian, can excel the world it is in such work as this.S x hundreti lumbermen are to start for Egypt in a few days.Transferred from embowered rivers to the bare, sandy-banked or marshy-shored Nile and the hot, dry climate of Nubia, they will b3 the same dauntless, indefatigable men Colonel Wolseley found them in the North-wesL They will bring back honor to Canada after carrying peace and safety to Khartoum.Reports reach this dty from several places that frost was observed at an early hour yes terday moraieg.A gectleaan who canoe down from Caledonia Springs says the frost op there was accompanlso by a heavy fog.and no doubt, rome damage will have b%en done to the late town crops.The visitors at the (irand Hotel crowded round the atoves which were fired up In order to keep the rr.eumailc folks warm, and all of them talked of itaviag there as soon as possible.?farmer from the south s'de of the river says the late sown buckwheat, oats aud tomatoes have coffered considerably.\"Bin\u201d ¦aid he \"it U an 111 wind that don't blow somebody good, the potato bugs have

down the river, but owing to the fast that it la almost Impossible to get Information In a country village against one member of the community, the local magistrates sre very much disinclined to Issue warrants or try their neighbors.Daring the latter part of last week Mr.Morris, the officer for the protsetion of fish and game, took advantage of the presence of Mr.Dugas in Beauharnols, and proenred a warrant against s Mr.Lefabvre, tavern-keeper at St.Remi.who had shot a conplc of ducks a few days before and carried them home In the face of all men.Mr.Lefebvre, at once obeyed the warrant, plead guilty to the charge, and waa fined $10 and $7 00 costs, just #8 per dock.\t> MOUNT ROYAL PARK.The Park Commissioners to-dsy agreed to give Mr.McClanaghan a five years' lease of the Mountain Park

will keep him In bed for a few deys.He was driving In e carriage through the mountains, along with others, when the seat gave way throwing him to the ground.His back was hurt, and on his return to this city yesterday it was thought beat to send him to the General Hospital for reet.THE MAILS.The MfFsrf.Allan Intend to despatch the SS.\" PerDlsn\" as an extra ship on Wednesday, September 3rd.the

Parisian,'\u2019 notice of the dosing of which will shortly be annonnesd.MR.PERRIN\u2019S DEPRESSION.Mr.Perrin\u2019s prophecy of depression and ¦tom of Thursday last has been very literally fulfilled this time.From many quarters the taka of storm and disaster were quite harrowing, and In our own vicinity, on Saturday and since, the depression has proved a signal sue-cess, as relating to prophecy.THE HOME OP THE SCIENTISTS FOR A WEEK\u2014WHAT IV LOOKS LIKE TO DAY.Tbs preparations at McGill Oollsgs proceed apace, and completion stamps several departments.From a very early hour this morn-ng all was bustle and energy.It may not be without Interest to run rapidly oyer the \u2022everul features which impress the observer.The grounds, consecrated to the loves of romantic nursemaids, aro now covered with large marquees, In which the several receptions J™' held.These capacious structures are not quite finished yet: but, when carpeted, furnished, adorned with flowers and lighted by electricity, they will preaent a most attractive appearance, and admirably servo the purpose In \u2022\u2022Cab, sir!\u2019\u2019 is an Interrogation not frequently beard Ineldo the normally quiet grounds, but \u2022 cabby\u2019\u2019 has been graciously permitted to make a little harvest during the next w**».and he appears to have a proper apprecltt on of the distinguished \u201cfare\u201d with which he may be Favored.He no longer sits asleep on his box with the stump of a nasty cigar between his testh, rotated by the «un and Indifferent to the claims of business No.he Is in docent attire ; he looks fresh and bright; he has for tbs nonce given up smoking ; hs Is anxiously on th* fliil t'iw ; he is furiously J salons of his rivals; he scrutlnLss each gentleman Of lady who pmsm to &nd from tho coiiok® wltn an txpression of profound solicitude lu flue, ha U on his good behsvlor.and the writer wishes him a successful campaign.Wo enter the central building sod find our way to the Reception Room, whither dense crowd* of \u201call sorts and conditions of mon\u2019\u2019 are wending their way np a lofty staircase, carpeted iu a style which s distinguished tavant remarked, toil) i ora, with an accompanying shudder\u2014 was ths delight of his heart\" This was meant to be ex qulsltely ironical, and we are afraid the eover-Ing In question Is a little too pronounced as to color.The reception room Is crowded.The long counter which runs the length of the room, and behind which ten energetic gentlemen arc working for dear llro, giving out tickets and taking In monsy with as-tonlahlng celsrlty.G eestegod by scores of eager ladles and gentlemen who betray the impatience which Is characteristic of all crowds, whether canailltox savant, andwhocMinot be happy tlU this formality Is gone through.In the centre of a room, which Is deliciously fresh and cool, and sweet with th* fragrance of freshly cut flowers, are those who, having got through with the clerks, have time to make friends, and engage in conversation, and com-pare notes, and look up guide books, and re-coont their experiences of tnal da m«r, and gen-erallv make themselves comfortable.W hat Interesting aud instructive contrast* are here ' Here It Is the white haired scientist, who cannot properly give his name without employing most of the alphabet, rather reserved, somewhat pondérons, perhaps, with a proper notion of his dignity, not disposed to cheapen himself; here la the thoughtful younger man whose countenance Is \u201c elcklod o'er with the pale cast of thought,\" somewhat abstracted, who steals furtively Into quiet corners and looks over the notes of that piper which hn cost him bo much earnest study, and which he secretly thinks la the most brilliant effort which will be made at the meeting, or who la found In quiet comers of the library, poring silently over some musty tome which may help him la the discussion which he means to participate In ; here Is the very young man with the down not yet callow upon his fresh cheek, who tries desperately to look learned, bnt falls lamentably, and looks Instead as If he could enjoy a cigar| or a row upon the Thames with the youth ana beauty ol Eoslâod fringing th© banks aud locking admiringly on, or a drop Into th© opera with an oyster supper to finish up.Here la the venerable lady, \u2019\u2019rno has come out to share In the triumph of her distinguished husband, who, after mnch hard work, now finds himself near the dose an authority upon subjects about which, some years ago, he dared ecarcsly ¦peak, and then with bated breath.She Is ample, and she flatters a formidable fan.and Is very cheerful and genial, and patronises the young girls from her superior height of dignity and position and years, with perfect good nature, which Is very pleasant to witness ; then there is the professional blue stocking, who, with gold rimmed eye glass, pale and Intellectual face, Is found In the company of learned professors talking of those deep things which are foolishness to the common herd, with lost » suspicion of becoming hauteur, penetrating thiongh those gold-rlmmed glasses, which add such grace and charm to some faces- She Is above many of the foolish weaknesses of her tex: and is more familiar with the Encyclopedia Britannica than with Walter Scott bhe contemns the romantic notions of the school glrL She Is too serions for the frivolity which characterizes youth and at once the curiosity and the awe of the visitor.The museum has a large number of patron» today.Here a number of gentlemen are carrying cn an animated discussion over a prehistoric tkull.each taking bla particular view, aud enunciating lc wltn all that assurance and\u2014 dare we say\u2014obetlnancy\u2014which are said to be characteristic of scientists and theologians.One thought of that famous scientific discussion whlcb Bret Harte has embalmed In well known versa and which had a somewhat painful termination, but here a grave courtesy marked tne conversation.Here a group of ladles pore critically over extinct leviathans, making every remark a sharp, accentuated exclamation point, and bringing those Inevitable eye-glastee, which repose so gracefully upon rttrousié noses.Into charming play ; here the solitary soran(, looking very deep, and a trifle lugubrious, and the blue-stocking, with a more decided professional air than when we met her In the reception room pursue their silent examinations.We must leave them here, and lake a glance at some of the ether rooms.The library Is well stocked, and the librarian is as tola and p»!e and inter-eatlce looking as a librarian ought to be.The mind revolts from tho notion of a cheerful or corpulent librarian ; and la this Instance be Is quite the Uau idral of an orthodox librarian.Ho Is courteous, but It Is with a grave courtesy befitting tho silence and solemnity of the place, and of a proper remembrance of tho mighty dead, who speak from every tome.An abiding air of preternatural seriousness rests upon him, as one who, having digested the vast store of learning by which be Is surrounded, can never again come to know or care

mom-Ins all the members of tho Commission being prtieut, also Hon 0.A.Cbampagn®.8.A.L«bourreau, Professor Darey, J.A.Gaoffnon, Joraph Tassf'-, M l'.B.Ulobeusky.^.0-, Hoa.It Latlamme.\t\u201e\t*«.w H On the opening of the proceedings Mr.Mercier rose and said that before the Commission proceeded, he dealred to draw attention to an article In Lu JDwer.sof this morning, entitled \u201cThe *5,000 Scandal.\" In that article was contained the following paragraph \u201c Without suspecting it Belanger has given # blow to Mr.Murders veracity.It Is known that tho Liberal leader declared before the House thet alter Judge Torrance\u2019» remarks .a Court he thought proper \u2018to advise hla client not to Insist upon the demand for disqualification.\u2019 Now Belanger swearsthatMer.w never ¦poke to him about thla.Fancy the appearance which the Liberal leader presented.\u201d In this article the words \u201cadvise hUclient not to Insist on tho demand for disqualification\u2019 were quoted as If they had been contained In his declaretlon before the Hooso.He had not directly or Indirectly used th* words attributed to him.The declaration which he had made in the House he affirmed contained no each words.\t.\t^ .\t.Mr.Amyot said he was not here to defend any one nor waa he the accuser of any on# He admitted the position of th* leader of the Opposition was delicate, but all that he demanded and which any one might ask for was that the course followed by the Commission be a strictly legal one.\t.Mr.Mercier said be believed Mr.Amyot to bo too honest to defend a falsehood, but he (Mr.Mercier) had risen to correct what was a falae statement made In La Miiurvê.In doing so be had only followed the precedent» set by gentlemen opposed to him in the Mousseau case, who sever failed to direct attention to ml»-statements made In the papers.He did not deny the right of the papers to criticise hla conduct, but when they pretendad to cite documenta he Insisted that they should do It correctly and not say what was not true.Mr.Amyot said if there were any mistakes In the papers it was not his business.He, however, knew that the Liberal papers nevsr treated thslr opponent» fairly.Producing the copy of Mr.Mereleris sworn statement made before this Commission he elted from it words quoted by La j/inen e, saying that the words wore textu-ally correct as mads by Mr.Mercier.After some further discussion tho mattor dropped.\t.\t, A number of witnesses wero called, who failed to appoor, among them Mr.Benjamin Trndel Mr.L.H.Coallard, Deputy Prothonotory, testified ss to the date of filing the contestation of Hon.Mr.Mousseau\u2019s election.He alao produced certain documenta In the case.Mr.U A.Qeoffrlon said he had token an active part in the contestation of Mr.Mom-scan\u2019s election, had famished part of the deposit and had contributed tonards the ex-pentes.He had suggested Mr.Belanger as a person who might sign the petition.Before that Mr.Belanger had taken no part In toe matter.He left Mr.Mercier to conduct tho proceedings before tho Court, he himself looking after details.Attempts had to his knowledge bien made to have the case settled, and he had been approached by friends of Mr.Mousseau, who had urged him to endeavor to have the dlsunallfleatlon proceedings abandoned.In view of the trouble taken by Mr.Mercier, he did not counsel him to abandon the case, leaving him to toko what course bo saw fit.tad been asked by Mr.Mercier to attend the meeting of friend# on the eubject of the dUqualification proceed legs, and personally did not wlahjto have him du qualified, because ho did not consider him a dangerous political opponent.He had received from Mr.Mercier some #400 for his fees la connection with » number of personal cases arising oat of the Vereheres contestation wblch were disposed of about the same time as the proceedings looking to the disqualification of Mr.Monssean.He was sorry he had not aaked more, as he had undertaken, without fees, to contest the elections of Meurs.Glrouard and Chapleau.He had received #250 legal feea In contesting the election of Mr.Ulronard, besides $ 100 from a Conrervative who had bsen opposed to that gentleman.By Mr.Lacoste -He considered Mr.Mercier had the confidence of hla party, but, like all prominent public men, there were some persons even In bis own party who opposed him aad some of bis acts.Mr.Watts thought ft waa time to draw the line as to evidence which was pertinent to this enquiry.How far was the door to be opened to allow of unnecessary questions Mr.Mercier said he should not object to the questions, leaving the matter In.tho hand* of the Commission.Mr.Lacoste conten4ed that It was In the interest of Mr.Mercier himself that, so much having been said, this line should be followed a little longer.\t_______ Mr.Amyot asked if In January, 1883, Mr.Mercier had not written a letter stating that La Patrie clique mast be crashed, and then showed him certain articles In that paper offering to assist him to discover how much confidence the Liberal party bad In their leader.Mr.Ueoffrlon objected that he could not reply for his party, and the question was not a relevant one.The question being allowed, Mr.Ueoffrlon said in referring to tho article whlcb had been ahown him he had ntmply to ray that the Hon.Mr.Lanvcvln.the Hon.Mr.Trndel and othera were In the some position as regarded their party as waa Mr.Mercier.He bad personally nevsr been a friend of Mr.Mercian The party required a more advanced leader ; but be bad found himself In the minority aud bad felt obliged to give way to the majority By Mr.Mercier\u2014He had nothing with which to reproach Mr.Mercier as a citizen.In Mr.Mercler\u2019s course at (Quebec he had conducted himself bravely In leading the Opposition, and he bad been satisfied with his action.In the Terrebonne election case be knew nothing about Mr.Mercier having received more than his legal fees.Mr.Mercier having asked Mr.Ueoffrlon who was the Conservative that bad contributed # H)0 toward the contestation of Mr.Ulrouard\u2019s election.This question waa objected to by Mr.Amyot, when Mr.Mercier said this question was Just as pertinent as that which bad been put In connection with tho Terrebonne case.The question being allowed, Mr.Ueoffrlon declined to answer, as he considered that the money was paid not to make the deposit In the case, bat to carry on the proceedings.He therefore regarded that person as bis client Mr.Mercier Insisted on the question being put A client\u2019s name was not a professional secret.Mr.Ueoffrlon refused and appealed to the Commission to protect professional secrets, though politically It would not be displeasing to him to expose Conservative misunderstandings.The question was thrown out.By Mr.Mercier\u2014He (Mr.Ueoffrlon) did not consider that ho dishonored himself by agreeing to tho abandonment of the disqualification pro-ceedlpgs against Mr.Mousseau.He had goua with Judge Rainville to see Judge Bourgeois and Mr.Mercier with a view to the sentiment of a contestation against Mr.Monsseau, which bad been based on the previously discontinued disqualification proceedings, and did not think he or the other parties nad Imperilled their gowns In so doing.He bad been the means of settling several election cases, which he always considered within the power of the parties to them to settle.There wasnothlng that he knew of arising out of the Moukm&u c»se to injure Mr.Mercier political.}' or otherwise la the pub lc estimation.THE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.SECOND DAY\u2019S I'KOOXBDIMas\u2014A WjUABBL# ABOUT ADVBBT18IMO PBOFXSSIONALLT IN TH# NKW8* PAPIRM\u2014AN INDIGNANT DISOLAIUBB.The second day\u2019s bustuest of

himself lu accord with the rules of th* Association that he should withdraw from It Ho called attention to the numerous oases appearing In the newspapers describing surgical operations, etc , and deplored the frequency of such notices.The pnblle had rights which should be respected, and since the Illness of President Garfield It had been proved that they took great Interest In the progress of the stckntssof apubllcman.But the speaker did not see the need of recording such operations as the removal of fingers or toes, as likely to advance or benefit eltner the public or the profession.He also denounced the publishing In the daily or weakly Journals of the cards of regular practitioners.The tendency to pro-fetalonal advertising was becoming larger dally, but the speaker believed that th* general publie willingly took notloe and advantage of any specialty In a practitioner without any advertising.The paper waa received with applause.Dr.Botto/ord, of 8L John, N B., moved that the paper be received and published.Dr.Dupuis, of Kingston, understood that portions of the previous address reflected npon himself, but he wlehed to eav that he had published an address in th* Daily Aeict of that f lace.because a very erroneous report bad be-ore appeared.Ha objected to himself and others being looked npon as brigands and outlaws.As far as the cod* of ethics bound $ medical man he was willing to be bound, but If the code could cot compel \u2022 man to do \u2022 certain act he was one of those who would make $ stand agalnat the coda.Dr.Mullln said thet Dr.Dupuis knew that there was a code, and should have referred to the code before he rushed Into print as he had done.When a member of the Association took such a course, the speaker held that It was Incompatible with thalr

Dr.Bottaford here rose to a point of order, he considered that they were not eltting npon tho case of Dr.Dupuis, he having only moved tho reception of tho report._ _ .\t.The Chairman decided agalnat Dr.Bottaford.when tho reception of \u2022 report had been moved It was In ordsr to leave it open for dlscasalon.Meeting In progress.GREAT 18 THE N.P.ONI Of ITS VS BY 8TB0N0 ARGUMENTS\u2014HOW A FOREIGN TRAD!
