THURSDAY.DECEMBER 12 HiS HOLD VERY SLIGHT.Ferdinand\u2019s Throne May Soon Need a Tenant.Bismarck\u2019s Interpretation of the Berlin Treaty.The Central African Slave Trade.= Lonpox, December 10.\u2014The uneasiness arising from the state of things in Crete has not yet passed away, bata new uneasiness is arising with regard to Bulgaria.It is again reported, and this time from a quarter well informed on such matters, that Prince Bismarck is bringing pressure to bear on Austria to sacrifice Prince Ferdinand to Russia.Nothing is more probable.Prince Bismarck long ago explained this part of his policy.He adopts an interpretation of the Treaty of Berlin which is in flat contradiction to the facts, and then labels his programme \u201cAdherence to the Treaty of Berlin.\u201d In his speech on Februar.6, 1888, he explained the honorabl part which he played in the Congres: ten years before.\u201cI conceived my rol » preity much as though I had been the fowrth plenipotentiary of Russia.During the whole of the proceedings n» Russian desire came to my knowledg which 1 did not advocate\u2014nay, which » did not bring to pass.\u201d Prince Bismare has all his life preferred the friendshi of Russia to that of any other Power, an his great regret, as expressed in 1888, was that he had lost this friendship and had been compelled in 1879 to make a treaty with Austria.But he was determined, if he could, to get back to the old footing with Russia.\u201cWe run after no one,\u201d be said in the same speech, \u201cbut that does not prevent us from observing with redoubled ~scrupulousness the treaty rights which Russia has in regard to us.To these treaty rights belong also those which are not admitted by all our friends; I mean the rights which we gained for Russia at the Berlin Congress in regard to Bulgaria.Itis clear to me that we were all then of opinion that the predominent influence in Bulgaria was to belong to Russia.In consequence of this view, held by the congress, Russia, until 1885, nominated the Prince, a near relative of the Imperial house, of whom at that time no one assumed that he would be anything but a faithful dependent of the policy of Russia.\u201d This is Prince Bismarek\u2019s account of his policy and of his conception of the treaty of Berlin.The treaty itself tells a different story.* The Prince of Bulgaria shall be freely elected by the population and confirmed by the Sublime Porte with the assent of the Powers.No member of the reigning dynasties of the great Powers of Europe can be elected Prince of Bulgaria.\u201d It is evident that Prince Bismarck\u2019s first principle in Interpreting the text of the treaty is to appeal on the ground that he had \u201ca share in making and signing the decisions of the congress\u201d to his memory of the intention of the parties at the time.It so happens that the article just quoted from the treaty was the subject of some such discussion, and for this the protocols of the congress are at least as good evidence as Prince Bismarck\u2019s convenient memory.THE RECORD CONTRADICTS PRINCE BISMARCK.When the first clause was read Lord Salisbury drew attention to the word \u201cassent\u201d and asked whether the unanimity of the Powers or only a majority would be requisite.Count Schouvaloft, the Russian Ambassador, replied that a congress is not bound by the majority, and that unanimity would be necessary.If the Powers should not be agreed the election would not be valid.Lord Salisbury remarked that in that case Bulgaria would be without a government, whereupon Count Schouva- loff said he could not answer for future eventualities, but would merely affirm that \u201cBulgaria would not become an appendage of Russia.\u201d It is worth notin ¢ that Prince Bismarck was presiding on this occasion and when I.ord Salisbury, continuing, urged that in this case there would be a danger of the country being given up to anarchy, the Imperial Chancellor intervened and said: \u201cThe Congress could hardly guard agaipst all these dangers.If the population of Bulgaria, from ill will or natural inaptitude,should be unable to enter upon the exercise of their new institutions Europe will no doubt bave to consult, butlater and when the time shall have come.\u201d And more to the same effect was said to quiet Lord Salisbury, who, however, protested that England would not be responsible for the diffieulties that might arise in the future \u2018and demanded that the words \u201c majority of the powers\u201d be substituted for * assent.\u201d Count Schouvaloff regretted Lord Salisbury\u2019s apprehensions, and declared that \u201cthe word assent seemed to him a guarantee for Europe against all thought of special influence to be exercised by Russia.\u201d Prince Bismarck\u2019s object is to be at peace with his neighbours, above all with Russia.For this purpos2 he will make any sacrifice which does not injuriously affect German interests.The surprising thing to Liberal leaders is that Lord Salisbury, after his experience of Prince Bismarck\u2019s ways, should still sail in his wake.THE CENTRAL AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.Cardinal Lavigerie, in speaking of the return of Emin Pasha and Henry M.Stanley to civilization, said: \u201cThe darkest page on the story of slavery is that which tells of its present revival in the interior of Africa.With the horrors of this scourge the recent conference of representatives of the Powers held at Brussels was powerless to deal, for the conference could only define the obliga- ions of civilized Powers, and these extended only so far as the authority and control of such Powers prevailed.Civilization controls the coast of Africa.It has planted its feet on the southern and northern regions of the Continent and on the mouths of the Niger.It has a passable channel into the interior along the water way of the Congo.But the interior of Africa from the Sahara and the desert of Korosko to Zambesi is outside the pale of civilization and is given up to a plague such as has no parallel in recorded history.A dark, brutal fanaticism, taking upon itself the once proud title of Islam, has spread over this vast region, destroying with unspeakable horrors millions of human beings in order to make captives of the thousands of wretched survivors.This strange revival seems to have originated in the populous regions between th» middie Niger and Lake Chad.Parhap: it began in the peculiar sect first made known to Europe through the movement of the Genoussi in the back lands of Algeria.In the districts of Bornu and Sohoto it is associated with a low but energetic type of civilization producing Populous towns and organizing consider- able inland trade.Even here it is unworthy of the traditions of a religion that once produced the bhumanity of Saladin and the learning and philosophy that centered in Corduva But from these little known regions the movement has spread eastward to the Nile, where its representatives have spread devastation from the Cataracts and the 123d Sia to the Albert and Victoria Nyanza, snd southward across the Congo t) Lake Ny- assa and the Zambesi.From the S»udan and the equatorial provinces ail vestiges of uropean influsnces have disappeared.The story of Major Barttelots strugyles with Ti ppoo Tib and his murder, the revalt against Emin Pasha and the murder of Dr.Peters and his companions show how impotent are the slend.r forces of Europe on the Upper Cougo against the wave of man destroying fanatics.It is this Mohammedan propaganda that has revived the slave trade and that finds it à market.For the gigantic slave raids of which so much has been heard of late are not organized to satisfy a demand from across the sea.The slaves are taken to Mohammedan towns in the interior of Africa.This is a market that notbing short of the conquest of Africa by Europe can close.The slave raider can be stopped, but only by an armed force able to fight and defeat hime.Such an undertaking no government is likely to initiate.It would have to be the work of some new order reviving in the shape of a life of self sacrifice the nobler traditions of medixval chivalry.\u201d tte Errs\u2019s CocoA.\u2014GRATEFUL AND COMFORTING.\u2014\"By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well-selected Cocoa, Mr.Epps has rovided our breakfast tables with a de- icately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors\u2019 bills.It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to res sist every tendency to disease.Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point.We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified witn pure blood and a properly nourished frame.\u201d Civil Service Gazette.\u2014Made simply with boiling water or milk.Sold only in packets, by grocers labelled\u2014\u201cJames Epps & Co., Homeeo] pathic Chemists, London,

of our wharfage and tbe general question of harbour improvement is a subject which seems to require careful and immediate consideration.The recent trip to the West made by the City Council has opened the eves of these gentlemen to the urgent necessity of equiping Montreal for a much larger share of the western business than has hitherto come this way.Montrealers have always regarded this city as the most important of the Dominion.They have affected to be amused at the pre- tentions of Toronto, though at one time some little alarm was felt at the possibility of Montreai importers removing their headquarters to Ontario.Itis only within the last ten days, however, that those who have so much power for good or ill in outfitting this port have realized how important a city Montreal may be made, and there is no reason to doubt that they are sensible of the necessity of bestirring themselves in the matter before them.To secure the desired improvement is the object of all, but the ideas and plans which are to effect this are many, and it is safe to say that no proposal yet submitted is adequate to the requirements of the situation.Some of them are very nice if the trade of Montreal is to remain for all time of the same bulk as at present.The ideas permeating others would be very well if the export business was to be served by one railway instead of by two coming into the city from opposite directions.But none that we know of meet the exigencies of the case, Extended wharfage, improved access to the wharves, and protection against the river are the three principal considerations to be kept in view.It is not à matter to be tinkered with.The work now done is to serve not only the needs of the St.Lawrence of to-day, but the trade of hat river as it will be in the future.And in the particular trade to be catered for the future will come with galloping strides.The harbour facilities of Montreal are very little better to-day than they were before Manitoba and the Canadian Northwest had been opened up and converted into grain.growing districts by the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway.Minnesota, Dakota and other grain fields of the United States did not enter into any calculation of Montreal's trade, but an examination of the subject shows that they, as well as our own western regions, must be taken into account.And yet the expansion of work in the West is trifling in comparison to what it must be, and as we have said, Western progress travels fast.Whatever plan is adopted should therefore ba one calculated not merely for the needs of to-day.No \u201cone horse scheme,\u201d if we may be allowed the expression, will serve, and we fear that as yet there has been nothing proposed which can escape that description.Duluth, which is a city of yesterday, has a dock line of over 122 miles.Superior City, on the opposite side of the bay, has 63 miles, the one port thus being provided with 185 miles of dock.The receipts and shipments for 1887, by railway, amounted to 2,246,354 tons, and Duluth is one of the probable feeders of Montreal harbour.St.Paul and Minneapolis are two others.Some idea of their business may be acquired by knowing that St.Paul has 200 miles of railway siding in the city, while Minneapolis has 240 miles.The merchants of these places say they would prefer the St.Lawrence route if Montreal offered accommodation, because it is shorter and cheaper.We know that a good deal of freight from these places was refused during the last season because Montreal could not handle it.And both 8t.Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth intend to grow.As for Manitoba and the Canadian Northwest they have only just commenced.They have been terribly hampered by ridicu- icus land regulations, annoying laws, &c., and immigration to these parts has Leen much retarded, but they are slowly sdvancing in spite of these drawbacks nd, wben the Government of Canada has been changed, will progress much more rapidly.The plan to be adopted must look to the creative powera of business of all these places and the means by which their trade is to be handled when it gets here.We think that those \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014atm\u2014 gentlemen who recently visited the West may be trusted to reject any plan which does not meet the requirements of the case and to take a broad view of the subject.STANSTEAD.The Equal Rights party have nominated Mr.B.Lebarron to oppose Hon.Mr.Colby, President of the Council, in Stan.stead.Tre HeraLD has taken the ground that Mr.Colby should be returned by acclamation for several reasons : (L.) It is a sound Liberal principle that when a Cabinet Minister is offering for re-elec- tion he should not be opposed, except in some grave political emergency or when some principle of over-shadowing importance is at stake; (2) because in view of the present phase of the Jesuits\u2019 Estates question opposition looks like a vindictive effort to punish Mr.Colby for voting in company with 187 other members of Parliament in support of what he and they believed to be a sound constitutional principle, that the Dominion Government would not be justified in interfering with admittedly intra vires legislation of the Provincial Legislatures; (3) because Mr.Colby is a man of high character, whose entrance into the Cabinet, while it may bring him into questionable company, will give the Ministers a colleague of acknowledged ability and import into the Government what it very much needs, political respectability.So long as any Government is in power it is desirable that it should be composed of the ablest men to be found in the ranks of the dominant party for the time being, The Equal Rights people are undoubtedly acting within their constitutional rights in bringing out opposition to Mr.Colby, if they believe his vote on the Jesuits Estates\u2019 question was an improper one and in violation of important political principles.But the question may now be fairly asked if it is wise to push the Equal Rights agitation any further on its present lines, and in view of certain defeat is it a politic move to oppose Mr.Colby ?Under the circumstances Tug HEeraip is of opinion that no practical object is to be served by opposition.TORYISM AND FINANCES.The Charlottetown, P.E.L.Patriot is uncovering the financial record of the Tory Government of that Province.The exhibit can hardly be a pleasant one to the taxpayers.Since 1879 the Sullivan Government has spent $5,714 in delegations, mainly to Ottawa; the money to the credit of the Province at Oitawa has been reduced some $200,000, and large sums have been paid in interest to the banks.Add to these the defalcation of upwards of $3,000 in the Land Office and it will be seen that the finances of the \u201c tight little island \u201d have been very loosely dealt with.The sums involved for a small Province with a limited income are a serious matter for the taxpayers who will probably be called upon to make good by direct taxation the extravagance and mismanagement of their rulers.It is a singular fact that wherever Toryism bears ruls the finances are muddled.The Tory Government at Ottawa has piled up the debt and expenditure and increased the taxation of the country at an alarming rate\u2014so much so that even Conservative journals are impelled fo Bound a note of alarm and warning.This Province of Quebec, we know, had its resources squandered and its finances and business plunged into almost inextricable confusion by the people who governed, with a slight interruption of one year, from the date of Confederation up to 1886; and it has required the greatest possible vigilance, combined with indomitable perseverance and hard work on the part of the present Government, to place the business and finances of the Province on a sound footing.Ontario, on the other hand, has been ruled continuously by the Liberals for the last eighteen years; her finances \u201care in a healthy and satisfactory condition and the business and legislation of the Province are managed on sound and economical principles.Nova Scotia's finances, too, are in as satisfactory & condition as could be expected in a province with a small and limited income.It is only necessary to say that that province has been ruled by the Liberal party since Confederation, with the exception of the four years from 1878 to 1882.Four years taste of Tory rule was sufficient for the people, and they are not likely to repeat the experiment for many years to come, if the Liberals are faithful to their traditions and policy.The same may be said of New Brunswick, which since 1882 has been ruled by a coalition government, headed by a Liberal Premier.Everywhere Tory rule is expensive to the people, and when the ond of the tether is reached Liberals are invariably called upon to rehabilitate the finances and place the public business upon a proper footing.Would it not be wiser for the people, in view of past experience, to ostracise Tory politicians from power all over the Dominion, in both Federal and Provincial arenas, until a lengthened servitude in opposition convinces them of the necessity of reforming their political methods and adopting correct and economical principles of government.This they will not do so long as they are able to maintain their hold upon the reins of power, and are controlled by their present leaders, respecting whom an influential London paper recently said, \u201cCanada has been worked by tne gang quite long enough.\u201d HAMILTON SPECTATOR! The Toronto Ems pire announces that Archbishop Lynch will visit a number of places in Toronto this week.An interview with the Archbishop would make very interesting reading.This is a very unkind cut at the Empire's theological belief, seeing that Archbishop Lynch has gone to that \u201c bourne whence no traveller returneth.\u201d The interview will not be held.PUBLIC OPINION AWAKENING.CALGARY HERALD :\u2014Among the measures which the Herald will steadily urge upon the attention of the Federal Parliament during 1800 will be the inauguration of a comprehensive system of immigration.Something in a large way must be done, and that soon, to people Canada\u2019s great prairie country, not by hundreds merely but by tens of thousands even hundreds of thousands annually.The above is a neat confession that the immigration policy of the Dominion Government has been a conspicuous failure.This, coming from a paper which supports \u201cthe general policy of the Conservative party of Canada,\u201d is noteworthy.Since 1879 the Dominion Government has spent nearly three million dollars on immigration, but unfortunately a very large portion of it found its way into the pockets of boodle camp fol- lowers\u2014the amount actually expended in bringing immigrants into the country was very small, and a considerable portion of even that was expended in giving assisted passages to classes of immigrants who are not wanted in this country.So far as the management of the Northwest is concerned the Governments policy has tended to discourage immigration, while a conapi- caous feature of their policy has been the the harrassing and worrying of actual settlers by absurd regulations.Itis an encouraging sign to see papers support- Ing the Government admitting, even by inference, that their immigration policy has been a failure.It indicates an awakening of public opinion against the mal-administration which has so long prevailed ; and that awakening is not coming a moment too soon.CHIEF JUSTICE JOHNSON.Both the Bar and the public generally will be pleased to hear that Mr.Justice Johnson has been appointed Chief Judge of the Superior Court.To have passed him over would have been an injustice and a mistake.Some satisfaction will be felt at the fact that the French as well as the English members of the Bar recognized the claims of Judge Johnson to this office and were unanimous in supporting the principle on which these appointments have been made.Tue Washington people have got their bill in shape and have had it offered to the Senate.It specifies that the Exposition shall be neld at the National Capital and that the President of the United States appoint a Governmental Board of nine directors to formalate and superintend the execution of a plan for such Exposition.A PHILADELPHIA paper suggests that Cashier Bilcott\u2019s escapade has caused Congressmen to take an unexpected interest in the subject of an extradition treaty with Canada.* Experience teaches, &c.\u201d SQUIBS.\u2014\u201cHow intense are fires of love,\u201d ejaculated the poet.* Yes,\u201d answered the father of six daughters;

you both may be right.\u2014A New York paper observes that there are \u201cforty thousand families in Glasgow living in one room.\u201d This is evidently a slip.The intention, no doubt, was to say that there were forty thousand families living in two houses.This would give them more room.\u2014Ex-widow (to new husband)\u2014Oh, how I wish poor John could see us now\u2014how happy it wou:d make him.New Husband\u2014 Eh, what's that?Ex-Widow\u2014You know, dear, John always used to say that he hoped I'd get a better one in his place if he ever went off the hooks.\u2014Lily\u2014Dearest Sophie, do tell me what you think of my hat.Is this rose color becoming to me?Sophie\u2014Oh, yes, it is just the color for you, dear.Lily ian hour later to her maid)\u2014Take the rose colored hat to the milliner and tell her to change it for pearl gray.\u2014Kodakin(who is addicted to amateur photography, exhibiting specimens of his work)\u2014What do you think of these?What would you say of a man who took such pictures, eh ?Fogz\u2014I should say he was a kleptomaniac.Hodakin \u2014 A kleptomaniac ?Fogg\u2014Yes;

River, NUNS V.BISHOP.Rome Decides in Favor ef the Ladies.PiTrsaura, Penn, Dec.11.\u2014Rome has decided the celebrated case of the Convent of Mount St.Ursula in this city in favor of Sister Alphonse, the deposed Mother Superior.It is advised that the Diocese of Pittsburg pay her $60,000 for the property of the institution, failing in which she resumes control of the convent.The house was founded some years ago by Mother Alphonss, who is a relative of ex-Empress Eugenie, and half a dozen French sisters.A dispute goon arose between the ecclesiastical authorities, who maintained the right of supervision and ownership, and the Sisters in charge.The matter got into the county and ecclesiastical courts and was fought with great bitterness by Bishop Phelan of this diocese on one side and Mother Alphonse on the other.The Bishop triumphed, however, the French mother was deposed, Sister Gertrude, an Irish woman, placed in charge, and the French sisters practically made prisoners in their own convent, Then the deposed mother dispatched Sister Angele and Sister Emanuel, the latter a French countess and cousin of M.De Lesseps, to Rome to make a personal appeal for Papal interference.This has bad its effect, and the victory is with Mother Alphonse, one of whose adherents recently became insane from worry over the coutest.\u2018Whether the diocese of Pittsburg will pay the $60,000 advised is a matter of doubt.The diocese is in debt already, and at a meeting of leading Catholics it was found that there was little disposition to pay such alarge sum, especially in view of the notoriety of the fight for control of the convent.An offer of $30,- 000 cash and notes for the balance was rejected.Bishop Phelan has expressed his regret that he ever had anything to do with the convent, and it looks now as if the French sisters would be allowed to enjoy their possessions in peace.STRIKE ON THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.\u2018Tacoma and Seattle Traffic Stopped.Tacoma, Dee.11.\u2014The strike on the \u2018Caskade division of the Northern Pacitic Railway, extending from this city a distance of 253 miles, to Pasco, which began last Sunday, and up to the present time has been considered a local matter, threatens to assume gigantic proportions and affect the whole road.Not a freight train has arrived or departed from Tacoma or Seattle for three days, and business in the freight yards is practically at a stand still.Mail trains are not molested by the strikers, but nothing in the shape of a freight car can pass.The entire freight traffic from Helena to Tacoma is practically at a stand still.The company required the freight conductors to give bonds for the faithful performance of their duties.They refused and struck.The brakemen and switch- men then combined with them to settle a long standing grievance in regard to wages, \u2014 TORONTO TELEGRAMS.School Certificates\u2014Girls\u2019 Industrial School.Toroxro, Ont., Dec.11.\u2014This afternoon His Grace

fleet, and brought its captives to this place, where they were duly punished.The victory was one of naval strategy rather than of arms, but it was a very plucky venture on the part of Captain Cox, of the State oyster sloop Bessie \u2018Woolford.Shortly after dark last night Captain Cox, who was sailing along on his boat, discovered a fleet of oyster vessels quietly, but industriously dredging on the forbidden grounds in the Mano- kin River.The dredgers were by no means uneasy, as they knew they would have no difficulty in getting away from the slow police sloop should she start in pursuit.Captain Cox adopted new tac- tire, however.He brought his vessel to a; chor, and with three of his crew low- er-d a boat, muffled the oars and sped riently toward the nearest of the diedger craft, The dredger was taken completely unawares, but refused to surrender, and a fusilade began between the Bugeye and the boat, which was kept up without much damage until the dredger\u2019s ammunition was gone.Ho then surrendered, and Captain Cox took possession of his prize, made prisoners of the men, pulied up the anchor and began to pursue the other vessels, which by this time began to scatter.© managed to overhaul eight of them, and brought them all before Justice J.W.Lander, who fined them each $25 and costa for dredging on forbidden grounds.TORONTO MUNICIPAL REFORMS.Paid

the Louisiana Sugar industry.Mr.Me- Kinley,.has always been an earnest friend on the committee and on the floor.Mr.McKenna represents the beet growers of California, and made one of the best speeches, if not the best speech, in favor ot the protection of the sugar growers during the last session.Mr.Burrows has always been an out-and-out protectionist.His last trip to Louisiana during the Minor campaign served to inform him of the magnitude of our industry, and he has declared time and again his surprise at its extent, and pledged his future strong support.Mr.Bayne, of Pennsylvania, and Mr.Ding- ley of Maine will not find it hard to sup- pert the lines indicated by McKinley, Burrows and McKenna, now that no attacks will be made on the industries of Pennsylvania and Maine by the committee on which they serve, as was done by the Mills bill in the last Congress.Mr.Carlisle is at heart very friendly to our sugar industry, and will go as far to help us ag he can consistently with his free trade views.So will Mr.Breckenridge of Arkansas and Mr.McMillan of Tennessee.+ Might Have Been Burglars- SALISBURY, Mo., Dec.11-Che entire fown was awakened at half-past five o'clock this

committee with instructions to report at the meeting next April.The majority of speakers, and they were many, favoured a revision, but they differed widely on the apecific changes proposed.The Rev.W.A.Hendrickson felt that this age has sufficient intelligence to write a confession, and instanced the late revision of the Bible.He objected to the old Confession because of its antiquated style and terms, misleading to the people of the present time; because of its over-statements, written in a time of intense controversy with both Romanism and Arminianism, The Rev.H.L.Dickerson called the Confession a \u201cstumbling block to sincere men\u201d and an obstacle to the progress of the Church.He favored revision in all but the fundamental doctrines.\u2014e\u2014 Wheat in Store at

had the pleasure of witnessing the magnificent collection of English paintings gathered there by Mr, McGilli- cuddy, the secretary, speak in the highest terms of the masterpieces shown.It would be of great benefit to the employees in the various stores and manu- factories, if the management could see their way clear to the issuing of batches of tickets at five cents each, to enable the employers to distribute them amongst their employers, as was done at their last exhibition, and would enable hundreds of people to have a view of the pictures, which could have no other result than to raise their minds to a higher level and at the same tims relieve the dull monotony of their ordinary routine life.BUY YOUR FURS NOW Aud Avoid the Crush Theré Wii fle When the Holidays Approach.See after

generations of children have heartily enjoyed for its stories without bestowing a thought on its philosophy, was born in Wellclose Square in 1748.His father held à place in the custom house and left him a fortune of £1,200 a year.He was educated at the Carter House aud Oxford, and spent some time in France, where he received the new philosophy of education.Having resolved on marriage, he determined that his wife should be modeled in accordance with the new light.He, therefore, went to an orphan asylum at Shrewsbury and picked out a flaxen-baired girl of 12, whom he named Sabrina Sidney, after the Severn and Algernon Sidney, and then to the foundling hospital in London, whera he selected a second, whom he called Lucretia In taking these girls he gave a written pledge that within a year he would place one of them with a respectable trades- wan, giving £100 to bind her apprentice ship, and that he would maintain her if she should turn out well until she married or commenced business, in either of which cases he would advance £500.\u2018With Sabrina and Lucretia he set off for France, in order that in quiet he migut discover and discipline their characters.He,
