THE BARRACKS.When our reporter arrived at Weber Hall it was found to be crowded to the doors, and a very pretty cadet, ^Slater\u201d Murray, was elngtog a hymn to tbe tune of \"Climbing ap the Gcldqn Stabs\u201d Brother Vlan theu la a most Impassioned address urged all to come and accept salvation.Another bvmn was now sung to the tans of \" The little old Log Csbln In the Lane.\u201d Addressee were then given by \" Captain \u201d Lewis, a hind some young woman of about 21 years, **Sister \u2019 Bates and ethers.\"Cadet\u201d Murray then followed with a solo and cborns, \" For I am a child of tbe King,\u201d to the ton* \"l am a Pirate King.\u201d \" Capt \u201d Lewis then referred to the 1m-prlfoccd brethren and said that Paul and Silas went to prison, but they sang the praises of ialvatlon all the same A great row then followed, tbe audience keeping on tinging tbe chotus.when \"Cadet\u201d Murray came forward, and, after obtaining a hearing, said sno was glad she was raved.They mutt temembor that they wei* In tbe house of God.And that Jesus was looking down on them at that time, and let them nee better tbe little sent* they had.The audience now seemed ashamed of themselves.and tb* remainder of the servies proceeded without interruption.At the close a number of ptoplo pressed forward to shake hands with the sisters, and were all askad If they were saved.One gentleman liked this so well that he repeated it three times.THE AFTERNOON MEETING.Long before three o\u2019clock th* \"barracks \u2019 wee perfectly besieged by crowds wishing to obtain admission, and when tbe doors were opened, the hall was almost Immediately orowdad In every part.A chorus, with tambourine ao-companlments, was ]>erform*d while the people were getting seated, and tho meeting was opened by a brother engaging In prayer, Ironical remarks being passed by the audience.A hymn having been sung, Cspt.Madden read a portion of the :14th Psalm which he expounded In an earnest and Intelligent manner, end said that their mission here was to make men and women better.Let them all believe in tho Loid Jeans CbrUt and be saved.Tbtlr mission was not of any church or creed, It was simply to bring salvation Monday.December 15, 1884.to those who were strangers to Its bletsin** God knew lit their hearts that they csiijeharâ only to boo* fit poor sinners, and with Uls hotu they

been arrested in the service of Jhsus tùU day.A hymn \" When the Bridegroom com* home\u201d being sung, \"Cadet.\u201d Murray aeii that SHE HAD BEEN SAVED when young, and now wished to tell thsm of the love sue had for them (A voice, \"Give meaklse, darling\u201d).Let them remember where they were, with Jeans among them, and bs ashamed of their behavior.Let them accept the salva tlon so freely offered 10 them.Another row now began at the back of the hall, and a chorus, \" Oh, my little darling, I love you,\u201d was started, but at last order was obtained.\" Capt.\u201d Madden then prayed that their sins might be forgiven them, and utter the doxology tbe meeting terminated.THE EVEN I NO MEETING.A half-past six o'clock there was a number ot respectable ladles and gentleacu waiting to get into tbe hall, but owing to seme very bad management the door was not opened until seven o'clock, and by this time all tbe approaches bad been occutdel by as rowdy a crowd as bas been teen for sometime in tnts city.Some of them openly expressed their In tentlon of \" kicking up n racket,\u201d while others boosted of having shouted out \"rats \"in the afternoon.When the doors were opened the tush was so great that the glass panels la the door at the top of the ttsirs were smashed.Aitsr singing the bvmn \" Blood and fire is sure to conquer Satan,\u201d It was evident that the young rowdies of tbe morning bal been reenforced by numbers of our corner loafers, who probably found the occupation of Insulting a few good w.>man.a trade congenial to their feelings.Th) first prayer could uot be heard, and some drunken men Interrupted It with blasphemous and obscene remarks A gentUmtu in the audlouce arose and raid, \"Gentlemen and fellow citizens, I ask you as men, If you be worthy of the title, to give these people a fair bearing.1 am not a Salvationist myself, but I know a lot of you and will have to take out warrants for your arrest.\u201d \"Glory to His Nama\u201d was sang, bat the row commenced again, th* language ueed being abominable.\"Capt.\u201d Lawis entreated tho audience to b* qultt and remember It was tbe House of God tnat they were in.They would not act that way lr other church in the city, and let them alsp r> < : u bor that Jesus was locking down la pltv upon them.Let them only accept the salvation which was freely offered, and\u2014\" God bless von.\u201d \"Cadet\u201d Nelly Low sang \"I love the L)rd Joeue,\u201d when the row again commenced, some shouting \"aud we love you.\u201d Capt.Madden now announced that if this was cou tinned,to protect those wbo wished toattead, be would b* compelled to issue tickets.He appealed tothdr good sense, and hoped be would not have to take that step.He advised them to accept Christ to-nlghr, or to-morrow they might be called, \" and then It would be too late.\u201d Tho \" detachment\u201d then knelt in prAyer, and asked that the audience might be forgiven for what they had done that evening.Whilo tho doxology was being sung a scene of FRIGHTFUL DISORDER ensued.Somo of tho drunken loafers qaar relied among tbemselves, and the remit was a free fight.The chairs were thrown about, until they were all piled up in two large heaps.Two or three policemen outside were notified, bat they eald they had no orders to Interfere.Ultimately tbe \" Salvationists \u201d left and tbe mob followed, bustling them right along their routs home.After all was quiet a posse ot twelve men arrived\u2014too late\u2014from the Central Police Station.The meetings will ba continued dur ng the week at 7.30 p m., in tbe Webar Hall.THE SALVATION ARMY was established In England by General Booth, on July 5th, 1805, and when they celebrated their 19th anniversary this year Oil) stations had been established la Great Britain.-10 In Canada and 212 in other countries; there were 1,-130 officers In Great Britain, 123 In Canada and 182 In other countries.They now hold 1G.OOU meetings each week and devote them-as 1 vcs

por-petrutors of the bridge outrage has yet boon iound.London, Dsj, 13.\u2014The Tinua arrives at a conclusion that the explosion must be traced la some way to Amerlcs.It says tho moment bas come to ask whether American law might not tie altered, so tnat Impunity could be uo lougor accorded to mec who make no secret of their murderous Intentions.The knowledge that the dastardly promoters of ths outrages are loathed and execrated by the vast majority of Americans encourages the hope thatlf the bridge outrage shall bo eventually traced to a transatlantic aettney, America will uot be content with the expression of horror, but will be rouse 1 to' take each action as Is to be expected from tie civilized community lu dealing with abjeot scoundrels.( Tia Canada Mutual Line.) London, Dec.15.\u2014The Staiular l taunts the dynamiters with tho petty results of thslr various attempts.It charges them with cowardice and says they evidently fear to conduct their operations on a large scale, which would bring them under the law against mob vloleucs.Slid the commlsslou of crimes, large or small, by Fechns Is a great reproach to the police.The Times asks what ths Fenlaus expect to gain by their outrages.They are certainly not working for Ireland and must have a purely DOtetary object.If the London Bridge explosion can ba traced to anyone In the United States, the Times hopes the American Government will take such action ns is the duty of a civilized community.The Daily News says vigilance, even to excess, is tho only method by which to thwart tne Fenians.London, Dac 15.\u2014Notice has baeu given that a motion will be made before the court of » aldermen that a reward of $25,000 bo offered by the corporation of London foi Information that will lead to the arrest nul conviction of the dynamiters Implicated In tho attempt to bivw np tbo bridge.AjMEBXCAU AN IMPORTANT CONVENTION.WasbikotoM.Dec., 15.\u2014A convention has txi-n concluded between the United States and Nicaragua, The United States undertakes to cotstruct In accordance with surveys and plans made under tho direction of Mr.A.G.Meno-cel.of the United States Nâvy, a ship canal suitable for all demands and rey farmers coming let) the city to market.WON\u2019T LliVg «jirisiu.L'/iheteur says: \"Mr.John C.Kno will not leave Quebec.aiikMigh it ta ataud that all bis diflicultles In New York have been senled.Mr.Kno has leased for a year the residence of Mr.R K Dobell, and Intends to s\u2019ay out the t*rm of his lease.1c Is also said that ths ex-Preel dent of tbe Second National Dmk Of New York likts tjnebtc very much \u201d OBNEftOUS Lb ut.-Governor and Madame Massou pal la visit last Dlnht to the bazaar of the Sisters of Charily, and, In leaving, placed a purse containing $100 In the bands of the Slaters.A VIGOROUS OLD LADY.It le stated that a woman nuau-d Denny, la tbo adjacent pariah of Stoneham.has attained her 102nd year aud Is vetso sound and vigorous that aha frequently walks all the way Into town, a distance of 18 miles, and back.She Is u native of the Green Isle.ANOTHER DEl'AULTKK John McMahon, a messenger of the Lo&lher Manufacturers\u2019 National Bank of New York, who skipped out with $L'0,U00.wnlle taking the money to another bank, and who whs lu hiding hem during most of the past summer, was, Itieems, led need to quietly return a Utile time ago to New York, whore ho now languishes in Ludlow Slreot gaol, as he refuses to gtvs uo his plunder.tJusBEo, Dec.15.NOTER.Tho value of the estât j of the late Théophile Kat\u2019ou, dry goeds dealer, of 8» Koch\u2019e, just de ceased, is placed at $I5U,0U0.Inspecting Engineer Rldoout, of the Dominion Government, has arrived, after completing an inspection of a new fifteen-mTe section of tho Quebec Central Railway, from St.Joseph to St.Francis.The Dominion arbitrator.Mr.Compton, bas also arrived to t ike evidence la casas against the Dominion Government fir lands expropriated at Levis for tbe St.Charles Branch.It has been ascertained that tbe qaantlths of dead fish noticed lloatlng in the harbor last wtek were compared of young shad fry descending to sta, but turned back by the great November stoim, when they perished.TORONTO.{Spécial to the H\u2019ifntM, Dec.15.)

I shall be all right when this hurly-burly is over.\" Kirsten cams down later than neual on a certain morning, hot when she looked into the brcakfsat*roun, to her astonishment she found it empty, Shn had heard nothing daring the night in her remote quarter, so that it carre upon her with a shock, to be told at last, that Mr.Stewart bad been seizod with violent illness a few hoars before, and though he was considerably better, bis state remained critical.The whole heuae was in com* motion as a matter of coarse.Mrs.Stewart did not put in her appearance at breakfast.Flora, though she behaved with remarkable composure for her age and sex, looked, as was not to be wondered at, constrained and agitated.Mere might have been expected from her elder brother.He was a man and his profession rendered him in a sense master of the situation.Perhaps it enlightened him only too fully, for Malise Stewart, while he maintained his self* control by an evident effort, was himself very pale, and had the air of a man stunned by a blow and straggling ineffectually against its bitter consequences of care and distress.Kirsten was puzzled when she recalled the comparatively calm, filial feeling with which the young man expressed to her his concern on his father's account within the laat twenty* four hours ; a dreaded misfortune was very different from its realization.Still ho most have good hope of Mr.Stewart\u2019s recovery, for when she asked for the sick man, his son as* sued her\u2014in a pre*occnpied, not very cheer* fnl manner certauly\u2014bat withoat hesitation, \u2022\u2022Oh! my fsther will do very well.\u201d Did he not believe what he said ?Was it mere con* venticnal cr official language, such as he used to the meszenger from the Castle P And it was neither the Duke nor the Marquis who came in person, as Kirsten fancied she had known item call on smaller pretexts.But what did it all mean ?Was there a mystery which she did not penetrate P Were tbe other geests better informed P Had they reed between the lines of the bulletins, since the most easy-going and frivolons of the visiters took leave of Flora and Malise with hardly-concealed perturbation and gravity, and set cli withoat a moment's unnecessary delay P It did not require the sentence which fell from Maliee's lips for the benefit of one of these people and was canght np by Kirsten, to convince her that she most go immediately.\u201c I rhall have my father removed as soon as possible,\" Maine had taid in an abrupt servons manner.Kirsten must leave before then, if she could not bo of nee to Mrs.Blowart in thesisk* room or elsewhere, as a radical quality in the girl\u2019s nature made her long to be.| Mr*.White\u2019s rooms were ready for Kirsten and the children ; she had only to mention her intended departure to the representatives of her host and hostess, and assure them of her sympathy in the quiet, brief phrase which meant mneh.Flora did not care to listen.She had not taken kindly to Kirsten.The girl might do ao come day, bat she had felt no need of the woman as yet.It was the same with Donald and Jack.But it was different with Anina.She had broken loose from confinement with the banishing of the company.Instead of following Flora she followed Kirsten and pressed for her explanation.\u201c What ails papa P Why may I not go to him and mamma P He is not so ill as that comes to, for 1 saw him throogb the open door of his dressiag-room befere mamma called to me to go away.He was up and dressed,sitting with mamma.He did not look very ill.What does Mtlise mean by removing papa P Where is he to remove him to ana where from?Never mind my grammar, though you have been a governess.I am not an infant like Baby, to be put off with «.filldlah excuses ; surely 1 am old enough and sharp enough to be told what matters as much to me as to Flora, though I am not fit to go into company\u201d It became clear that Malise was Inclined to trust Kirsten as Anina did, and to repair to her for solace and oomfort.He met her confused werds of condolence and leave-taking with ao me thin g which sounded like disappointment and ahaolute reproach.\u201c So you are going to desert os too, Mias Stewart P' Then he checked himself, \u201c Well, of course we have no right to detain you.\u201d \u201c If I could be of any use to Mr.and Mrs.Stewart\u2019*\u2014she began, with wistful apologies.\u201c Have you not seen my mother this morn* ing T* he Inquired quickly.\u201c Do you not know that my father and she and Flora are to start for Leamington this afternoon P I thought women were good for helning each other to pack,\u201d and he gave a forced laugh.I he two were standing together in the dis-arraugtd drawing-room, which had not been tout bed since the family quitted it on the previous evening, as if the servants had not found time cr heart to put it to rights.Chairs viuo tUnding about, books and illustrated papers tossed hero aud there, Flora's music ass lying in dirorder on the open piano.Fvtrytbing was in the confusion which precedes the break-up of an established order of things.\u201c 1 did not know,\" she said faintly.\u201c I am glad to hear Mr.Btewart is able to travel.\u201d \u2022' Oh ! my father's illness waa bad enough,\u201d ho (xclaimed vehemently, almost harshly, \u201cthough the effects ore passing off.He has net been welt for some time.You remember 1 told you be was not himself, and l fear he will never be the same man again.He is bet.U r away from this at once.\u201d Bhe looked up as indignant as Anina had thown herself.\"That is, he has worn himself out, and the sooner he is got rid of the better.He has spent his strength for the Duke.1 know Mr.«Stewart has been working like ten men ever tince 1 came here\u2014never taking rest, never ont of harness ; and when the faithful herse staggers and falls in the traces, his Grace does not so mnch os come to the front to see what is wrong.\u201d \u201cNo, no, you must not speak like that,\u201d he said,putting his hand with force on hers.\u201cThere may be what hashing np of the matter is possible, though you will hear it discussed in twenty fashions in Haythorpe before the day is done, but there must he no unfairness here.Perhaps part of what I have to tell is not such news to you as it was to me, for it is always those who are nearest that know least.1 was aware that my father was not a rich man, but I only learnt this morning that he is over head and ears in debt and difficulties.Have you heard that before P\u201d \u201cYes, that has been said.\" The words were wrong from her reluctantly.He walked away with something like a grosn.\u201cWhat most people have thought of usP How could we do it P A plvoe like this ; nothing grudged\u2014nothing spared.Good heavens, it was only the other day that I was doubtful about the propriety of becoming Dr.Harriscn's cuooeesor.it was so early to settle down\u2014I might study a little longer in Paris or Vienna\u2014I might set up at once in London.\u201d While he spoke she had rallied.It was the most natural thing in the world for her to administer comfort; to say soothing, sincere words of reasonable reassurance and encouragement.\"A great deal was demanded from your father's position.It must have been a strong temptation to a man of his hospitable nature and love of company.He could not altogether help himself in some things ; not in these final gaieties.He was devoted to the Dako's interests.Perhaps, if Mr.Stewart had spared mere time for hia own affairs\u2014\u201d she faltered a little\u2014\u201chot that ia the less reason far his being cast off now, the moment his health fails and there is any\u2014any discovery of his embarrassed circumstances.\u201d \u201cNo, no, a hundred times no! you are all wrong,\u201d he said passionately, with a gesture of pain and sorrow.\u201cYou are too innocent and upright yourself to follow the cine.This is not a case of Wolsey serving his king better than his God, to oar shame it is the reverse.The Haythorpe people will not be so guileless and merciful as you are.Bat I mast make the trnth clear to you, withoat leaving you to do battle with rough guesses and sarcastic innendoes.It is hard enongh for me, bat that hardship may go with the rest.There is no occasion to speak of my feelings,\u201d he exclaimed, with a sharp seventy to himself, and sccrn of himself bred of his misery.\u201cIt would be doubling oar offences, it woald be abominable in me to keep silent when 1 am called on to speak, even though the silence were to shield my poor father effectually.Miss Stewart, there is not a word to be said against the Duke ; cn the contrary, he has behaved with the greatest forbearance and generosity ; so has the Marquis\u2014to a far greater degree than we had any right to hope.Right ! we have no right ; we cannot so mnch as claim indulgence frem those we have wronged.I am bound in common honesty\u2014not to say in bare gratitude, to proclaim this.The Dake has offered my father a retiring allowance.His Grace has volunteered to finish my brothers\u2019 and sistera' education, thongh Donald and Jack will be mean curs if they do not make short work of their share of his bounty ; and I shall relieve his Grace of my younger sister*.It is not he who is driving ns out of Cope Hall poet haste.He has guaranteed the nee of it to ns, as long as we need it, at least till he had appointed another coam-bcrlain.Bat even my mother and Flora see it is advisable that we should clear out, withoat waiting for the arrival of my father\u2019s successor.Most I say more\u2014that the lawyer fellow has found the Dake's accounts in oonfoaion ; that there is a horrible deficiency, which if I live, I will make good, thongh it cost me to the last day of my life and coat my last penny ?\u201d She was dumb in the fellow-feeling with his hamiliaticn.\t.(To h* Continuod.) THE BEER SCOURGE.\u201cGath,\u201d in a letter on the liqnor-question in the Cincinnati Enquirer, writes : \u201cThis cheap and enlivening drink has probab-bly done more to change the morals of the American people than anything,except the cotton gin.The Chief of police of Baltimore, a very coneervative and Democratic city, told me seme ten years ago that he regarded lager beer as having done more harm to the boys of the United States than anything he had ever heard of.Said he: \u2018Boys were never seen in drinking-places as long as whiskey was the standard.Bat after lager beer waa introduced the boys woald go to saloons, where games were prepared for them, snob as bagatelle and pool and In a little while you found drunken boys.1 \u201d DAILY WORDS FOR 1894.(Moravian Text Boot.)

few years ago a New England rail wav i* \u2022Red a large amount of bond*.The reputa.1 on of the company Induced Baring Brother* Jhe Lotdtn banker*, to take a part of the loud* and recommend them to their cuetotner* Thus endorsed, the bond* »oou found ptiroha«ar* among the customers of the bankers.A few months after the Lino tie rail\u2019^s oca pan v was discovered to be in a bad fiuaa! olal condition.The discovery caused u ims*» fall in the price of tho bond*.It was generally believid that neither interest nor principal would be paid.\t* Immediately upon the bad news reaohlu* London, a card to the public assured those wh j bad purchased the bonds on the recommenda.ion of Baring Brothers that both principal and interest wculd be paid by the bankers thu guarantee was regarded in England as an ordinary or an ex-traerdmary act.But in this country there were not wanting these, suoh as of the guinea htl|>x (lie hurt lb it Honor feel*.\u2022*\t\u2022 who thought the bankers quoixotio in their notion of what a recommendation implied.The tuusaction, however, is a good illustration of the working o! what scientists call tho law of heredity.The home of Baring Brothers wss founded more than one hundred years ago, by John Baring, the son of a Lutheran minister.His honesty won the esteem of rich merchants who helped him on in his business.Of Franois Baring, his son and successor, called by Lord Shelburne \u201cthe prinoe of merchants,\u201d it was said that \u201cfew men arrived at the highest rank of commercial life with more unsullied integrity.\u201d One of his financial transactions resembles, in spirit, if not in form, tho more recent act of his grandsons.Joseph Psice, a friend of Franois Baring, had exhausted his fortune.In his old age, having no family, he was very anxioos to tarn into ready money the reversion af an estate to which he was heir.For a long time his friend Baring urged him to retain bis rights ; bnt, at last, finding Pake resolved to sell, ho bought it for twenty thousand pounds.In a few weeks the original proprietor died, and Baring found himself owner of a property for whioh he had expected to wait several years.Endowed with what Borke calls \u201cthat chastity of honor which felt a stain liks a wound,\u201d Baring sent his friend a draft for seven thousand pounds.\u201cThis snm,\u201d he wrote, \u201cit is absolutely necessary for my peace of mind should remain without alteration.\u201d \u201cNeither myself,\u201d he adds, \u201cnor any of my family wUl ever receive the return of any part of this snm, either cow or heroafter.\u201d At the death of Sir Franois, in 1810, it was said, \u201che waa the first merchant in England ; first in knowledge and talent, character and opulence.\u201d The old banking-house maintains the reputation of its founders for \u201cchastity of honor.\u201d The law of heredity is illustrated in this sensitiveness of the children when they feel thoir \u201chonor grip.\u201d Herbert Bpenoer says that Amoricans show a tendency to regard lightly dishonest intentions in their business life.It is true of a class, bnt not of the whole.Tho best American firms have, like the Baring Brothers, made the \u201cchastity of honor\u201d the foundation of their snocess.Only snob firms outlive their generation.\u2014FoMiA\u2019s Companion.BLUE RIBBON.Now I want to tell you, thoso of you who aro faltering abont wearing our badges\u2014you must step out and show your colors.Wo seem to dread a passing remark or laugh more than wevalno the smile and approving notioe of God in oar work.Do not be afraid of wearing your bine ribbons ; they are such a power., Does it not stand to reason that if it ia ouly the reclaimed ones that are to be asked to put on onr bine ribbon we brand thorn in tho eyes of the world.Let us wear the blue ribbons in sheer gratitude to God that he has boon so merciful to ns.Some months ago Mrs.Atkinson and I went down to a country plaoo to address an afternoon temperance meeting.and wo felt that the spirit of that meeting was very fetvent indeed, but we did not know how soon one beautiful little fruit was coming ont of it.Yesterday I heard of it.Into that meeting there was almost forced a woman who was oalled cot the worst woman in that place, bat \u201cthe worst woman in tho world.\u201d I cannot tell yon all that her life has been.Bhe married a cclorod man, and thoy seem to have gone through almost every kind of sin and misery that is possible.Ont of sheer curiosity she camo to hear two women speak, and I am thankful to say that she wa-t pleased with us both, \u201cshe liked the looks of us,\u201d she said.Well this \u201cthe worst woman in the world\u201d went out from that meeting, and by-and-by announced her intention of taking her hneband, who was each a poor sottish drunkard, away from their old surroundings and temptations\u2014for, bad us both were, she was \u201cthe better man cf the two\u201d\u2014she announced her intention of taking her husband away to another place, and I had tho honor of going down there six weeks ago to one of tho concluding meetings of a glorious mis-ion of one week.It was Saturday afternoon, aud a children's meeting.At tho close a little fellow of tnree years\u2019 old cried bitterly because I would not pin on the bine ribbon withoat his parents' coneent.However, he wont homo and persuaded his mother to bring him to the evening meeting.She was so wrought on that she was induced to go again on the Monday night, sign the pledge, and pat on tho bine ribbon.Well, I went down to the first place yesterday and a good friend told me that two days ago a woman oalled upon her.Sho was shown into the room wearing a largo piece of bine ribbon, and my friend never once recognized her as \u201cthe worst woman in tho world\u201d yet it waa she, and she it was, too, who h|d been persuaded by her little three year oHboy to go to the meeting.Sho told my frien^that since she had taken the bine ribbon she had been stronger and better in health than over before.\u2014 Mrt.Ormioton Chant in British rernptrancs Journal.Thebe is Such a Tuino as a loss of strength through over-refinement.The delicacies of high-class mneio are quite lost on tho ear of one not trained to their appreciation ; and in a popular andiecce the speaker who would bs understood by all must deal with broad, strong contra»ts, rather than with subtle shades of distinction.It needs a clear head and quick perception to enablo a teacher to find a proper medium, for his own pupils, between the bro»d and simple statements which a!onec*n be understood by minds quite untrained, and that finer discrimination In langussro whioh only one person in a hundred can folly appreciate.I here is a real danger here ; take care that.In your refinements upon the lesson, you are not prio-tioally as unintelligible to your scholars as » you were discoursing to them in the most delicate style of ancient

but, a: tbe same tlmz, they wero nothieg new.A Catholic paper, some timeegc,had exposed their vlesson this subject, these being reproduced in a Protestant evening paper and highly spoken of, thi* paper being no friend of Catholics During the last glimmer thero were arrest* made on Beaver Hall la a Protestant locality.It was not Catholics who had those so called '\u2018Salvationist*\u201d arrested, but Protestants.It wa*.therefore, Protestant against Protestant, and now, all that he bad got to say was this \u201c All that the Catholic Church wants 1* liberty, that is, liberty to all.and now 1 hope no Catholic will go and give offence by yelling and giving a bad example, if curiosity tako you thero and, if you don\u2019t like tbe pro Kedlngf, retnrn home.They won\u2019t disturb you in your own heuso.Two years ago Protestants and Catholics were united for one grand c»ute\u2014temt>erauco\u2014through the noblo efforts of the Rc-v.Thomas Gales, Mr.G.W.Weaver, and the Rev.Father Rousselot.But a renegade apostate got jealous of that unity, and like a wolf, got an invitation from the Presbyterian Board, under one of his old shams of bypocrisv for evacgellzlng 1-T*nch Canadian*, by telling them that the priests were Idolaters, rob-btrsand drunkards.Do Protestants ever expect unity and fraternity when they bring the lowest apostate in America to insult our bishop and priests who are sacrificing themselves day and night for tbe good of the peoplo .Thev hold mee\u2019lngs of Indignation and tell the world they have no religious liberty, but tbera was, he was glad to say, one honest man present \u2014 the Rev.Dr.Stevenfon, who was not nfraid to say openly that he did net approve of the apostate\u2019s vile language.That miserable man came here to seek offenco, and lam sorry to say that he got wbat he was seeking for, and he that gives offence gives strength to the enomy.If the adventure of the Salvation Army is a civic offenco let them settle it with the city ;

but so long as their language was not incendiary, and tnelr conduct not calculated to provoke a breach of tbe peace, he did not see why they should be (uppressed.He believed the methods of the army were extravagant, and much of their phraseology blasphemous ; In short, iu his opinion, me-s; of their operations burlesqued religion.He was brought into connection with soma young men snd wo men belonging to the armv while travelling in the car* to Toronto.Tnoy were laughing and ebat log trgetber in tbe most hllarlna* manner, and the young women reclined upon th* bosoms ot tbs young men.The moment, however, tne it a* ion was reached tney began to sing by mns with great vigor.He thought ther* was an incongruity in such a transaction.Then again, the power claimed by \u201c General\u201d Booth rendered him nothing short of an infallible pope, which was, in his opinion, a most objectionable feature of the organization.There was a large class of young people everywhere whose only desire was to ba amused aud hav« jollification, and certainly the Army appealed with great fores to this class.Tnelr souga and tamborlnes, and peculiar language appealed powerfully to the emotional nature of this class, and transformed many of thea Into fanatics.At the same time, If they were not Interfered witb, the excitement regarding them would soon die out, as it had died out la the case of Father Cbintquy, when the police made it known that be was not to be Interfered with.Th# Conrt of Review will sit on the 22adk 23rd and 25th days of Decembar In»'.*: half, past ten a m.Country cases to bo board on the 23rd instant.The members of St.Judo\u2019s Churc : Intend holdings sale of useful and fancy >-r'lds* In the lecture hall of that edifice on Wednesday evening next.The Dish National League met In 8t.Pat-rlck\u2019sHall yesterday and passed résolu'ion* of condolence relative to the death of tbe ;ato Mr.A.M.Sullivan.This morning the fire resident* of \u2022\u2022 tb> Piggeries,\u201d who wero arrested tho other day for dealing a horse blanket, wjru.s.uc to gaol for six months «s vagrants.Tha Market Commlt\u2019ee this ti\u2019raraon reconsidered tbolr previous uetermln- 1 >u and Mrs.Crowley 1* now to be allowed to t aatfer her stall to St.Lawrence Market.A man narord Williams having found a Burst-of money on Saturday on St.Catherlue street left It at [No 10 Police Station, wlitro it w*-» soon claimed by a lady.Williams was re vurded.There will be a farewell meeting for the Rev.C.Chlnlquy at Ersklne Church tbl* evening.Addresses from Mr.Cblnlquy and a number of other clergymen are announced.Mr.Frank Ryan, watchman, yesterday suv five youths about breaking the Windows ot Messrs.Flab, Hyman & Co., St.Paul street.When socosted, they ran away.The car filled with an exhibit of tbe p'oducrs of the North-Weat and Manitoba will be open to tha public at the Canadian Paclfl* Railway station to-day and to-morrow.Constable McNulty yesterday dl «covered some boys hooking out handkerchief* with a wire from a dry goods store window on St.Lawrence street.The boys ran off.Tha quarterly communion was held lu St.Mark\u2019s Presbyterian Church, on Sunday morning.An interesting and solemn feature ot tho service was the reception of sixteen new members.Tbe return of interments In the Protestant vaults for the week ending December 13 show there have been 20 burials.One ot these died In a distent place.Five were male and reven female adults.Four deaths were caused diphtheria.by i A ft 7 Monday, Dhcemmkr 15, 1884.THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.killed on the traok.The Kiri killed on U»*OrAn»l frank B»U«uy »,.ck OU fceturdey efwruoon wm named Vlo-Ktoti »koout Atwater Arenve 11 ran orer the date as 3 00 to $2 70 ;

discovered nothing aa to the origin of the explosion.Heads of detectlva departments wore conferring with the Home Office during the entire day.Absence of anv clue Is paralyzing the action of the police, who are even unable to tell the nature of the explosive used.It appears that the explosion occurred nearer the Burrey end of the bridge than was at first supposed, and yet most of tho houses damaged were on the Middlesex side, where tho windows ware smashed as far as Billingsgate Market.Several P8D69 of glass Wero broken In FiBhinoDgore* Hall, but otherwise tho building received no damage
