now the largest proportion is yet to ba Bown.A year ago the corn belt of the country was ready to be planted, but the Season was so early that farmers did not do much planting before the last week in April.Winter wbeat had made excellent growth and we were talking about early harvest and getting new wheat from the south in June.A year ago the country was needing copious rains everywhere; now we have enough and to spare, and with fen or twelve days of clear, dry weather there would be a wonderful change for the better in the general outlook.As to winter wheat I have toid you for the lasi six weeks that it was in an uncertain condition and that I thought it more or lest winter killed.During the last twenty days we have had excellent weather for the wheas and there should have been a very marked improvement.This, however, has uot been the case.The wet weather has shown that there is quite a large percentage, particularly in Illinois and Indiana, badly winter killed.The situation in Kansas has been rather vrecari- ous and uncertain, but the recent rains have been a great benefit to the growing crop ; there is a marked improvement in that state.Some damage is reported in Missouri, but, taking the outlook as a whale, I look for a spotted and uneven crop.À good deal of the jointed whoa! which was cut off by the recent frost has sprouted again at the roots, Lut what it will make no one seems to kaow.Norruwest.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Smoke Hand-Made Cigar, Nectar, 5 Cents \u2014\u2014_e BRITISH METAL MARKETS.(BY CABLE.)

the wore accomplished hypocrites of the Equal Rights Association laid their bands upon their hearts and swore they knew no party.They were this, that and the other, but they were not party men, and they have succeeded in getting many people to believe their protestations, The proceedings at Ottawa, however, knocked the bottom out of all that nonsense.The report of the meeting ag given by the Ottawa Citizen, a Tory newspaper, states that Mr.Chariton\u2019s explanation of Mr.Mowat\u2019s position and his own declaration of his confidence in that gentleman fell like \u201ca bombshell\u201d on the meeting and created great confusion.They were Tories assembled to make capital for Tories ; they cared for what they call Equal Rights just so far as \u201cEqual Rights\u201d can be used for party purposes, and they showed it by their behaviour and consternation at Mr.Charlton\u2019s declaration.Is anything more wanted to convince a reasonable being of their true character?If go, it \u2018was supplied by the Revd.Mr.Crothers.Knowing the organization of which he is 8 member, he prepared a resolution to be passed at this meeting declaring the confidence of the Equal Rights Association in Mr.Meredith.The resolution was not presented to the meeting because it was deemed advisable to withhold it, but be managed to express his admiration of Mr, Meredith\u2019s course, in the speech which he made to the meeting.This is the organization which appealed to the people of Canada for sympathy and support as antagonists of the Jesuits ; men fearful of Roman Catholic aggression, people shocked at the action of a Tory Government in allowing the Jesuits\u2019 Estates Act to become Jaw, but whenever their appearance on the scene is calculated to injure Sir John Macdonald or any friends of his they hava married a wife or bought an ox and, therefore, cannot come, while they assemble with readiness to oppose Mr.Mowat, who has no mora to do with the Jesuits than Burleigh had, and to pass resolutions of confidence in Mr.Meredith, who published a pamphlet to inform the Catholics of Ontario that they were not sufficiently considered by Mr.Mowat's Government.We do not like calling names, nor do we think it neces- Sary to express our opinion of a considerable portion of this Equal Rights Association ; we need only say that any Ontario Liberal who is longer guided by them is either like unto themselves or ig 2 monumental simpleton.AN INCOMPLETE REPLY.Messrs.H.J.Macdonald and J.Stewart Tupper, lawyers, of Winnipeg, and sons of 8ir John and Sir Charles, have addressed an open letter to Mr.Goldwin Smith, which is published in the Otta ra \u2018Citizen.The vituperative clauses which -are intended to crush Mr.Goldwin Smith remind us so much of Sir Charles Tupper that we may, as a matter of interesting speculation, attribute them to his 80m, though we confess that we miss such lighter passages as might be set down as drawing their inspiration from the more jocular spirit of the Macdon.-alds, We must leave Mr.Goldwin Smith to answer the charge of \u201ccontemptible jugglery,\u201d \u201cpolitical scavenging,\u201d \u201c hired assassination of private character,\u201d &c., and refer to ons or two matters of more general interest.Messrs.Tupper and Macdonald say to Mr.Goldwin Smith, \u201c In the country \u201c of your birth as well as in that which \u201chas for many years go generously \u2018failure has been to thd p.\u201c afforded you an asylum, &c, &c.\u201d Apart from the fact that the \u201c asylum,\u201d which has sheltered the English Mr.Smith and the Nova Scotian Mr, Tupper, has been quite as generous to the latter and his relatives as to Mr.Smith or his, we take exception to Mr.Tupper\u2019s phrase as implying a privilege instead of a right extended to Mr.Goldwin Smith.We would have Mr.Tupper reshape the images of his mind ; we would like him tounderstand that while Canada remains à British province the most miserable specimen of a British subject that can be found between the Hebrides and Van Dieman\u2019s Straits has every right within the Dominion of Canada, and is as much one of its possessors as even the High Commissioner of Canada himself.We should like him to believe that no Englishman regards Canada as an asylum in which he is generously received by being permitted to earn his living here, but rather as a part of the British empire, in which he has as full à right to plant his torch as any other man that breathes, and he requires no condescending permission from the inhabitants of assimilated colonies, or, indeed, from any one else.But let that pass.The point which seems to us to be of more immediate interest arises from his reference to the exposure made by the Globe, May 4 (?), 1886, of the fact of Messrs.Macdonald and Tupper being partners in a number of timber limits, etc., the application for which was made by them as solicitors of the applicants.They say the statements of the Globe constituted a \u2018\u2019baseless slander,\u201d and that \u201cit was crushed to death almost as soon as the Globe gave it life\u201d; that it was \u201canswered in court and in \u201cParliament as soon as it was made,\u201d etc.This is where we think the imagination of these gentlemen o\u2019srleaps the facts.The Globe gave chapter and verse for its statements, and we believe the papers in a lawsuit revealed the transactions of which that paper spoke.If it was a slander it certainly was not crushed to death, for it is the living understanding of a great many people today, nor do we find any destruction of the accusation in the records of Parliament.The general impression was, and in many places still is, that business was brought to the firm in question in consequence of the relationship existing between two of the partners and the Premier and Finance Minister of Canada, and that instead of contenting themselves with lawyers\u2019 fees, they in many instances stipulated that they shoull receive a share, whether for consideration or not does not appear in the grant applied for.If this is not true, or if a false colouring has been given to the matter, it would be well for Messrs.Macdonald and Tupper to refute any accusation or reflection of Mr.Goldwin Smith\u2019s by straightfcrward explanation rather the sons of two leading cabinet minis.tera requiring a share in grants for which their clients were applying, and which it would rest with their fathers to refuse or which there is so much evidence in other quarters, that the public domain of this country has been bound to a rock while the vultures at Ottawa preyed upon its vitals.If Messrs.Macdonald and Tup- por have been maligned Tus HEeraLD at any rate will be glad to assist them in righting themselves in public opinion, an end they are not likely to attain by merely abusing Mr.Goldwia Smith.NEWFOUNDLAND'S DIFFICULTY.Under the caption of * Hope for New- London, justifies the vigorous opposition which Newfoundland is making to the modus vivendi which was arrived at between France and England, \u201c without the final concurrence of the Newfoundland authorities,\u201d re the French shore diffi culty, because the vigorous resistance England to a more intelligent interest in, and a keener appreciation of, the issues involved than is usually the case when Colonial questions are under consideration.The result is that the Imperfal authorities feel called upon to more fully consult the Newfoundland Government, and the announcement has been made that delegates from Newfoundland will take part \u201cin the negotiations with France for the conclusion of a permanent agrae- ment.\u201d The fact that little isolated Newfoundland has compelled the British Government to recognize her rights \u2018in this matter is rather humiliating to Canada, because of ths fact that it took two or three years urging to induce the Imperial authorities to take action respecting the Behring Sea outrages ; and even now it looks as if Canada was to have very little to say in a matter which ig of vital interest at least to the pacific portion of the Dominion.Had we \u201ckicked\u201d with the same vigour and determination as aui- mated Newfoundland the Behring Sea difficulty might have been satisfactorily settled before thig time of day.Commenting on the fact that newfoundland delegates are to take part ix the negotiations, the Canadian Gazette 88578 : This i3 all to the good, pointing, 44 1,\u201d 905: to the time when even Colonies whos 2° fluence at home is Hatdrally less ditect tha, ° that of Canada will be given a greater share in the settlement of interfiational qu>stions - eoncerning their interests.It is eeriainly in & large measure because of past meglect in this respect that British diplomaéy bas so signglly and hopelessly failed to close\u2019 this -vexe&dispute.Sir James Fergzusson L@iked in the Blouse of Commons the other night of Lhe desirability ** that British interests my not be Injured by action hastily taken by persons in the: Colony without full informa tion.\u201d Is he, as the Pall Mall asks, forgetful, or 1s he, unlike the rest of the worid, Ignorant of the injury to Colonial interests by actien taken by persons in London without full local knowledge?\u201d That has, in truth, been the min canse of the failure of past negotiations; \u2018but trying though that atience and loyalty than by abuse, because the mere fact of concede, tends to strengthen the belief, of | foundiand,\u201d the Canadian Gazette, of made by the Ancient Colony has awakened the press and public men of vain if it hastens a more intimate co-opera- tion between the Colonial and British authorities.This is a pretty plain recognition of the fact that blundering diplomacy\u2014 due largely to a haughty disregard for colonial interests, and an indisposition fo take the trouble to ascertain correctly how those interests are likely to be affected by certain features of Imperial policy\u2014is mainly responsible for the existence of aggravating colonial disputes.Perhaps the Newfoundland trouble and the Behring Sea difficulvy may have the effect of impressing upon the Imperial Government the necessity of clothing the colonies with larger powers and responsibilities, and consulting them more closely and frequently in all questions affecting colonial interests.On what lines the Newfoundland diffi- cully is to be settled is the question which more immediately demands attention.The suggestion has been made that the French claims, whatever they may amount to, should be bought out.Who is to do the paying?queries the London Times.The Gazeite says * that \u201cis a question for the future,\u201d and adds: Seeing that in the opinion of s0 astute and dispassionate a student oï the subject as Sir Charles Dilke the present lamentable position of affairs is chiefly due to British inaction and pusillanimity, it is hardly necessary for the Times to remind us that Newfoundland would not bear the whole burden.Lei the terms of purchase be agreed upon with France, and the apportionment of the cost should be capable of arrangement after a few hours\u2019 conversation between British anl Newfoundland statesmen.But wby should that comparatively poor colony be compelled to pay anything more than a very moderate portion of the cost\u2014if even that\u2014of settling a difficulty, \u201cthe very existence of which,\u201d the Canadian Gazette says, \u201cis due in a \u201clarge measure to dilatory and short- \u201csighted British diplomacy in years * gone by ?\u201d A NEW PHASE OF THE RYKERT CASE.The Rykert enquiry has opened up a new question.Mr.Dalton McCarthy and Mr.Laidlaw, who were interested in the application made for a part of the tract covered by Rykert\u2019s application, being summoned before the committee, declared that after agreement between the conflicting claimants, and after the terms of the order-in-council had been settled, this document was altered in the Department of the Interior in Rykert\u2019s interest, go as to throw his rivals out into the prairie, while he obtained the timbered portion.The chief interest in the question arises from the fact of Rykert baing able to procure the consummation of such a transaction.He has boasted of his great influence at Ottawa and spoken of the money which he would have to use to secure this limit, and now it is made to appear that a most extraordinary proceeding took place by which he was enabled to jockey his competitors, with whom he had agreed to a survey in common, and to procure the limit they claimed; a half share of which he sold for $25,000.The serious question is, how often and how long has the Department of the Interior been subject to this kind of influence ?Tre St.John, N.B,, Sun thinks that technically General Laurie was correct in demanding, and the Commons clerk correct in granting, mileage to the Gan- eral from London to Ottawa, but has tha candor to say : Nevertheless we are quite sure that mileage was never intended to be computed from residences outside of Canada, and are stroug- ly of the opinion that the money ought to go back to the treasury forthwith.In matters of this sort the membersof Parliament should give the country and not themselves the benefit of the doubt.That is vety good dcctrine, but unfortunately the principles on which Sir John Macdorald\u2019s Goveroment is managed have had a strong tendency to in- noculate the people\u2019s representatives, and even honorable Conservatives, with the idea that it is their duty to look out for themselves first, last and all the time.As a rule, they don\u2019t give the country the benefit of the doubt.Acquiescence in General Laurie's action will establish a very bad and dangerous precedent, and itis to be hoped he will recognize the propriety of refunding the extra mileage into the treasury as suggested by the Government organ in St.John.WHAT OTHERS SAY.\u201c We, the Reformers, stand for the British policy of a revenue tariff and no taxes upon food.You (the Tories) are simply imitating the miserable fiscal policy cf the Yankees.\u201d The declaration by Sir Richard Cartwright correctly defines the attitude of the two political parties on the trade question as well as on the question of loyalty to Great Britain.\u2014 Ottawa Free Press.NOT A BAD HIT.Charles Rykert, M.P.,in a letter to a St.Catharines paper, speaks of \u201cthat contemptible creature Cartwright.\u201d If Rykert can thus characterize Sir Richard, who is an honest man, with what scathing vituperation would he blast his own character if he could only see himself as others do.\u2014Ottawa Journal.THE HOME MARKET FALLACY, New York State is the latest to complain of abandoned farms, forced sales and general agricultural depression.A writer from an interior county receutly said: \u201cFarmers are leaving their farms, \u201c and more are giving up the life alto- \u201c getber than are settling upon new ones.\u201c There is not only no money in the bus:- .\u201c ness\u2014there does not seem to be even a #4, ving.\u201d M is now a long time since tué a.0Ye might frst have been written of this 2.~ading industry in two or three | of the Ne v England States, and while there has te \u201cn no Sign of improvement | here, the ares nar y the prevalence : now include of deserted farms.- and Penney] eros Stites of New Yorn A it wi Jbete are manufactmr 5 tes, wl be nekiced, and with Ne.£ duce early, if not quite, sh.the manufackived goods prodv.in that country.In ether words, it mw \u201chome market \u201d of which so mue.heard in the eampaign of 1888, \u2018 \u2018ced in this ~ee-fourths of |.SQUIBS, \u2014Mother\u2014Jennie, what makes you such a bad girl ?Jennle\u2014Well, mamma, God sent you the best children he could find, and if we don\u2019t sult you it ain't my fault, \u2014Mrs.Watts\u2014Her grief for him is simply overwhelming, Mrs.Potts\u2014It is, indeed.I understand that she spent half the life insurance money for à meurning suit.\u2014Hudson\u2014Do you believe in that insane theory of the transmigration of souls ?Henry\u2014Not exactly, but I believe that when à man Las been dead and buried 10 years, he becomes a century plant.\u2014Reporter\u2014Well, sir, it looks as if spring had about come.Editor\u2014Oh, no ;

Store the orders of the day were called, Hon.P.Mitchell asked if there sas any truth in the rumor that Mr.dry had been appointed to fill the County of Kent judgeship.| Sir Jobn Macdonald replied that it In the true.\"vi Jones (Halifax) called the attention of the First Minister to a leiter which appeared in Tue HEeraLp from Messré- Anderson & Co., in which they stated that wbat Sir John had said in reference to the steamship contract wa true.In view of this, Mr.Jones thought it due to the house thac the cor- ndence relating to the contract be brought down.shouts Mr.Foster replied that the matter was between the Premier and Messrs, Anderson.He did not think that th> correspondence should be brought down.Sir John Thompson\u2019s bill to amend the criminal law was then taken up.Sir John moved the third reading and Mr.Bergin moved in amendment that it be referred back to the committee with in- atractions to expunge, in clause two, everything referring to the seduction of women employed in factories, mills or workshops.Sir John Thompson said the measure was pressed upon the Government by a deputation of Knights of Labor who had better knowledze of the legislation pecessary for their class than the mem- per for Cornwall or himself.Hon.P.Mitchell complained that the dJause gave opportunities for blackmail ing.lt did not follow that because the pill was mentioned in the speech from the throne it should be carried out in its entirety.It was proposed to legislate for evils of which there was no evidence to show the existence.He held the clause v as unnecessary.If protection were raquired for women in factories, it was equally required for those in shops and other places of business, and even in civil service.Mr.Charlton said he had never heard of a case of blackmailing under the pre- gent Act in regard to seduction.It was impossible for blackmailing to exist un- derthe provisions of this Act, and he did not believe that the fears for blackmailing in connection with the proposed clause were well founded.The amendment was lost by 123 to 36.Mr.Mitchell said\u2019 that now Government had declared the principle of protecting women, he moved that the bill benot read a third time, but that it be referred back to the committee, with instructions to alter clause two so as to make tho law protect every class of working women, and not only females in workshops, factories and mills, as at present specified in the clause.His amendment also made the age of woman read 21 instead of 31, as smended in committee.He declared that if the house did not adopt this amendment its action in voting down Mr.Bergin\u2019s amendment could not possibly be considered as consistent.Mr.Charlton, who opposed Mr.Bergin\u2019a amendment, seconded Mr.Mitchell's.Sir John Thompson thought that Me.Mitchell could not be considered as consistent, and to this the member for Nor- thumberland answered that he had only changed his action and not his opinion upon this important question.Hon.Mr.Blake apneld Mr.Mitchell\u2019 action in a most eloquent speech of ten minutes\u2019 duration.He said that Sir John Thompson could not boast of consistency and be would vote for the amendment.Mr.Tisdale moved in sub-amendment that the words in Mr.Mitchell's amendment referring to age be struck off, Upon this there was a good deal of discussion, during which it was shown that Mr.Tisdale had broken faith with Mr.Mitchell in moving as he had done, when Mr.Mitchell bad fathered Mr.Tis- dale\u2019s amendment which was only to be moved in case the first amendment was lost.Mr, Tisdale's amendment was then negatived by a vote of 98 to 71, and Mr.Mitchell's by 88 to 74.Then Mr, McNeil moved an amendment which provided that the seducer must be over twenty-one years of age.This was, he said, to prevent boys who did not recognize the seriousness of the crime from being sent to prison for two years.This was also lost, the House not even dividing, and the bill passed a third reading, AFTER RECESS.When the House met in the evening, Campbell, Landerkin and Tisdale supported the proposition that fruit trees purchased before the tariff resolutions 8hould be admitted at old rates of duty.Mr.Mitchell protested against the duties on fruits, American small fruits came in earlier than ours, and later in the season fruits were exported from Canada to the United States.There was no excuse for taxing fruits and early vegetables, After several members had aired their Views, Mr.Kirk made a short, logical address on the serious stand the Gov- &rnment were taking in regard to the oy on a number of articles required in ova Scotia.His hope was that if they Lop on as they were doing they would ake sufficient rope to hang themselves.Wilson (Elgin), Patterson (Brant), Boyce, Waldy and McMullen (Huron), followed in the order named.Each one pointed out that it was anything but fair to tax People for goods which they purchased fore the tax was put upon them.mia Foster took the ground that to re- It the duty asked for would be to establish à precedent which would be wy unwise, It was not a question of Whether or not 16 was just to tne farmer pe one

House again went into committee to consider tariff changes.Mr.Foster announced that it had been decided to change the tax on hats and caps.In future 30 per cent.will be charged all round.This means an increase of five per cent.on men\u2019s hats, and despite the opposition of Mills and McMullen passed as amended by the Minister of Finance.The committee sat until 100 items were passed and adjourned

committee on privileges and elections this morning to enquire into the connection of Mr.Rykert with the Cypress Hills timber limit deal developed some interesting and even startling evidence.The case was supposed to have closed at the last meeting with Hon.Wm.McDougall's address on behalf of Mr.Rykert, and the meeting to-day was for the purpose of drawing up a report.But Mr.Dalton McCarthy, M.P., and Mr.W.Laidlaw, whose names have been mixed with the affair, appeared to make aa explanation regarding certain telegrams which were recently published.Mr.Girouard, the chairman, said it was understood that the case was closed, and it would be somewhat irregular to re-open it.Mr.Blake referred to a letter written by Lindsay Russell on Jan.26th, \u201983, in which he said :\u2014\u201c À graver obstacle to renewal is the dispute between Messrs.Adams and Laidlaw and Shortreed,\u201d and contended that the committee having been appointed to enquire into all the facts and merits of the case, they would be neglecting their duty if they did not do so.Sir John Thompson supported this view and the chairman yielded.Mr.McCarthy appeared before the committee to explain the telegram.Toroxro, 5th September, 1882, Lindsay Russell, Deputy Minister of the Interior : Can I see you on Saturday, or when?Important, as the facts recently disclosed seem to show that a gross traud has been committed r¢ Cypress Hill limit.Darron McCarTay.He said that Messrs.Shortreed and Laidlaw were constituents of his, who applied through him for the timber limit in question.The department answered on February Ist, 1882, that the limit was not for sale, but that if it was it would go by public auction.He never saw Sir David McPherson or Sir Jobn Macdonald about it.On the 11th of April Mr.Ryke:t met him, and said he had obtained a timber limit for Mr.Adams, and asked him if he had not applied for one for Messrs, Shortreed aud Laidlaw.Mr.Rykert said the license would be granted provided arrangements could be made between Messrs.Adams and Shortreed and Laid- law.Mr.McCarthy said he was not acting as solicitor and had no interest, direct or indirect, in the limit, and he heard nothing further about the limit until in August he began to suspect that there was something wrong.The description of the license granted to Shortraed and Laidlaw started from a certain point and ran south, whereas what they had applied for started at thas point and ran north, and this latter territory was what was granted to Adams.The result was that Adams got the timber and Shortreed and Laidlaw, although prior claimants, wera left on the prairie.He was satisfied something had been done in the department to cause this change, and this was why he gent the telegram that A GROSS FRAUD had been committed.He was informed that the application of Messsrs, Shortreed and Laidlaw covered the Cypress Hills limit, and believed that if the application had been carried out and faith kept by the department they would have got the limit.He had a very clear recellection of seeing in the department a written paper which was in accord with the application, and on which the limit was described as commencing al the point in uestion, and running north, not south.e had not the slightest doubt about that.On April22 he and Mr.Rykert met and agreed upon the boundaries of the limit.They went to Lindsay Russell to bave agreement sanctioned.They agreed that the line of Shortreed, Reed and Laidlaw\u2019s should run north and not south.In a letter dated August 31, 1882, addressed to Sir John Macdonald, Mr.Lindsay Russell spoke of making an adjustment of their claims.Russell had no business to make an adjustment, because he (McCarthy) and Rykert bad come to an agreement before meeting Russell.He could not say how the error arose and never received any explanation of it from the department.Mr.Rykert subjected Mr.McCarthy to a short cross-examination, The order- in-council granting the limit was passed on April 10th, but Mr.McCarthy swore that Mr.Rykert told him on April 11th that the matter was not yet settled.LEVYING BLACKMAIL.Mr.W.Laidlaw appeared to explain the telegram from Mr.Rykert, dated Sept.8,1882, to Lindsay Russell, in which be says, \u201cHope no more attention will be paid to Laidiaw\u2019s nonsense.He wants to levy blackmail.\u201d He met Mr.Rykert to settle their differences and distinctly stipulated that Messrs, Shortreed and Laidlaw must have the prior choice of fifty square miles because they had sent a man over the limit and knew the value it.If Mr.Rykert would not agree to this, why the limit would have to be put up at public action.Mr.Rykert \u201cagreed and on April 25, 1882, he received a letter from him in which Mr.Rykert said, \u201cYour limit can be secured in any place within the 140 square miles,\u201d for which be had made application.Afterwards he saw in a Winnipeg paper that the limit was offered for sale.Looking at the license granted Shortreed and Laid- law, be \u2018found tbat the limit granted them was not what they asked for at all.He applied to the department for a description of the license granted Adams, but was refused.He was politely shown into waiting rooms, but could get no information.He put these facts together, and inferred THERE WAS FRAUD, By the line running south Shortreed and Laidlaw got none ef the 140 miles for which they applied.What they applied for was what Adams got.He considered his treatment cruel, treacherous and unjust.He was so much grieved that be prepared a petition to Parliament on the subject, but was assured that the license would not be granted.The committee decided to summon & surveycr from the department to explain the construction the department pu\u2019 on

adjoining room, where a lunch, given by the officers of the battalion, was awaiting them, After having partaken of the same several toasts wera honored and the men went home highly pleased and satisfied with the evening's doings.Before dispersing the officers were complimented by Col.D\u2019Orsonnens for the able manner in which they wers taking care of their respective companies.The accoutrements returned were found to have been well cared for, and great praise was given to Sergeant- Major Gauthier for the manner tn which the men had taken care of their uniforms.It is expected that the first church parade of the season will take place on Sunday, the 27th inat., when the batial- ion will parade for divine service at the Church of Notre Dame.The brass band of the regiment and

at 85%, and the quotation now is 85%.Some members think it would be a pity at present to issue a new loan, as in a few months the price will probably be much

rector, Rev.J.Dixon, and Messrs.J.H.Red- fern and Jno.Forgrave, church wardens, graced the gathering with their presence as an indication of the popularity of their late organist.The attendance was fully up to the expectation; in fact, the lecture hall of the church was too small to comfortably hold those anxious to bear testimony to the esteem in which Mrs.Parratt is held.Those who so ably contributed to the musical and literary programme were * The Victoria Orchestal Circle,\u201d \u201cThe Serenaders, \u201d Misses Maltby, Schneider, Fuller and Morris, Profs.J.H.Parker and 8.Lewis, Messrs.J.J.Rowan, Herbert Dyson, Robbie Anderson and William Hughes, St.Jude\u2019s choir.The accompanist was Mr.J.Stephen Lewis.Before the gathering dispersed the rector said that it must be gratifying to Mrs, Parratt to know that her services bad been appreciated and that the meeting bore testimony to the high estimation in which the congregation held her.It was also a recognition not only of her abilities as a musician, but algo of her good work as a Christian woman._\u2014\u2014\u2014 PLEASURE AND PROFIT.Many persons who do not take Turkish Baths have very erroneous notions about

of Montreal will begin operations soon, It is to be composed of Ald.Clendinneng, Prefontaine, Tansey, Savignac, Stephens, Rainville and Villeneuve.Ald.Clendinneng says several municipalities favor the scheme, and he has every hope of succeeding.The first municipality to make direct overtures for annexation is Cote St.Paul, which touches the city boundary at St.Gabriel.It needs a water supply badly.Incorporated in 1875, this town has about 2,000 population.Its limits are the aqueduct south, the Grand Trunk east, the Lachine canal north, and La- chine west.There are several large manufactories, among others the Dominion Leather Board Company, Froth- ingham & Workman\u2019s hardware works, Gowen\u2019s tool factory, Mocock\u2019s axe works, the Mount Royal Milling Company, &c.Several aldermen say that Montreal bas all she can do for a while toimprove what has been already annexed, but others favor taking in all that come.\u2014\u2014\u2014 SMOKE PAPPOOSE CIGARS To

Show.Three Millions for a Patent Office Building.SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF HERALD.WASHINGTON, April 11.The Senate has passed the bill against trusts, only one vote, that of Mr.Blodgett, of New Jersey, being recorded in the negative.But the debate shows that few of the fifty-two Senators who voted for the bill were much better pleased with it than was the Senator from New Jersey, who voted solidly and singly and consistently against it.As the bill went to the Judiciary Committee it was a Sherman bill; as it came out from the Judiciary Committee it was principally an Edmunds bill.The Ohio Senator accepted the situation with the best grace he could.It was not precisely what he wanted, but under the circumstances he should vote for it.Mr.Reagan struggled vainly to amend it so as to make 118 remedies available to the great body of the peopls, ani then bowed to the inevitable, Mr.Hosur remonstrated that this legislation was the entrance upon a *new and un- trodden field,\u201d and the Senate should go slow.Mr.George proposed an amendment whereby \u201cthe wretched victims\u201d of -hese trusts might join as complainan:s he courts for the recovery of indivi- « lamages, but this amendment Su , @ Same fate as Mr.Reagan\u2019s, and t senator from Missisäippi succumbed.The bill pronounces \u201cevery contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in the restraint of trade among the several states or with foreign nations,\u201d illegal.Any person who shall be injured in his business or property by any other person or corporation by reason of anything inhibited or declared unlawful by this act may sue for damages in any circuit court of the United States in which the defendant resides or is found, snd recover three-fold with costs.All this reads very well on paper, but it is certain to prove, as Mr.George suggested in the discussion, \u2018a disappointing measure to the people of the country.\u201d As all branches of business on trade, however, take to trusts, combinations, conspiracies or monopolies in one form or another as naturally as a duck takes to water, and as nothing is so hard to prove it is not at all likely that the dockets of the Circuit Courts will soon be cumbered with suits brought under an act like this.But some sort of measura of this kind had been promised, and the promise had to be redeemed.The Senate did not agree that1it should be enforced.The Southern itinerary of the All- American Congress will extend from April 18 to May 10 inclusive, and from Washington to New Orleans by seaboard and return by interior.It will give the tourists a pretty good view of the Southern face of the country, and the people and their industries in their varied extent.They will see Virginia's tobacco, South Carolina's sea island cotton, Gecorgia\u2019s and Alabama\u2019s manufactures, Florida\u2019s alligators and oranges, New Orleans\u2019 commerce and Creole society, and the iron and coal enterprises of Birmingham, Chattanooga and Roanoke, The visit, though short, will, with the previous tour, afford our guests some insight into the prosperity of our country.Only one day or less is passed in each town visited except New Orleans, where two days are to be spent.The committee on patents has reported a bill to the House appropriating $3,000,000 for the erection in this city of a building for the use of a patent offica.In its report the committee says the bureau of patents can readily be shown to have contributed in a larger measure than any other bureau or department of the national government to the development of our industries in enabling us to attain our present unequailed prosperity in the field of the industrial arts and sciences, That the sums charged for the use of certain inventors are extortionate is not doubted, the report says, but it is believed that the committee wiil be able to formulate a bill which will provide against such abuses, while in no proper sense invading the domain of private right or in any appreciable degree im- paring the usefulness of the patent system.The report also refers to the delays in the courts in securing an adjudication of causes arising under the patent laws, and says it would seem to follow that if practicable a court having special jurisdiction in this class of cases should be established.The patent office has today to its credit in the Treasury $3,631, 670 over and above all expenses, and this surplus to the credit of the patent fund is ample to provide a building suitable for the patent bureau.It begins to look as if the Republican ways and means committee will have to place a prohibitive duty on Democratic election returns to prevent them from coming in.An interview with Mr.Blaine on the McKinley tariff bill would be mighty interesting reading about this time.R._\u2014\u2014 Smoke Eand-Made Cigar, Nectar, 5 Cents \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 Difficult to Identify.Niagara Faris, Oat., April

blood, and which attack various parts of the body in different ways.Skin disease shows itself in the HEAD, sometimes in the form of Dandruff, which no amount of brusbing and combing will get rid of, and sometimes in the form of Scaly Eruptions, In the NECK, by an enlargement of the glands (commonly called Glandular 8wellings).which, it unchecked become very unsightly wounds.In the ARMPITS, and the inside of the ELBOWS, by an inflamed Roughness of the Skin, which is very painful when washed.In the HANDS, by deep Cracks or Fissures, which, if healed for a few days, speedily open again, or by horny-looking patches.In the LEGS, by Hard, Shiny and inflamed Swellings, or by wounds more or less deep.And on the BODY, in Red Scaly Patches, which as often as rubbed off, form again, or in the discharge of a thin, watery fluid of à very disagreeable nature.In all these cases the treatment must be twofold.An Ointment 1s required to relieved Itching, and medicine must e taken to change the

men, 30,098; women, 624; being 9,841 less than the past year.SOUP KITCHEN, The quantity of soup and extra meals was 76,505, being 24,488 rations less than last year.DEATHS, Seventeen deaths occurred during the ; Year, ten men and six women, several of them very aged.One had attained the patriarchal age of 97.One infant died in the City Refuge.RINDLING WOOD.This industry is still continued, as will appear by the treasurer's statement, showing a credit balance of $1,076.47.A large stock of dry wood is kept on hand, and itis boped that the friends of the institution will, in increased nurabers, sustain it.OUTDOOR LAEOR, During the summer we wers unable to supply tke demand for men to do smal jobs.During the fall aud winter months men were, as formerly, sent out and have given general satisfaction ; but from the fact the snowfall was light this win ter, the demand for men was not so great es usual.The net proceeds from labor for the year carried to revenue account is $600.00, BOARD OF OUT DVOR RELIEF, This important branch of our charitable work, as will be seen by the report, is Children growing on our hauce, ber of families relieved ter being 155.The prevailing sickness prevented sume of the members of tue committee from giving their usual regular weekly attendance, but the work both as regards visiting and giving was well dcne and, we are glad to say, adequately supported by our well-to-do\u201d citizens, POOR RELIEF COMMITTEE, This committee met regularly, weekly in winter and fortnightly in summer, and efficiently discharged the many exe.u- tive duties assigned to it, RELIGIOUS SERVICES, The usual religious services both in the city refuge and at the country house at Longue Pointe bave been regularly maintained by the city ministers ang other Christian friends.During the past winter on several occasions the inmates of the homa at Longue Pointe were kindiy entertained by the choirs of several of our city churches, Christian workers and kind friends.the aversge num- CONTRIBUTIONS, We bave to acknowledge from the executors of the late Thomas Workman, Esq, his bequest of $4,000, from the execu ors of the late Muthew Campbell, Esq., the sum of 8750, from the executors of tbe late James Simpson, Esq., the sum of $100, and from the executors of the late George Rogers, E3q., the sum of 51,000 ;

disbursements, $17,- 388.32, leaving a balance in hand of $1,946.42.The pbysician\u2019s report next read stated that the health of the inmates had been very satisfactory during the past year, On motion, these reports wera unanimously adopted.Ald.Clerdinneng having to go to two important meetings begged leave to address the meeting, and in the course of a few eloquent remarks said that ha could not well let pass over tbat happy, joyous acd prceperous meeting without saying a few words.When they came to consider the trials and sufferings through which the Society bad passed during the twenty-seven years of its existenca, he thought a better field of industry could be evolved for the temporary inmates than that of chopping kindling wood.They should remember that many young men of good character were obliged to seek shelter in the home for no reason of their own and if they were taught something better they would go out in spring better both moraliy and mentally and with à knowledge of earning their livelihood in a better way.Personally he could bear witness to the grand work done in the past by the institution.Their home at Longue Pointe was not only a home in the truest serss of the word, but it was a paradise and a great credit to the Protestant people and to charity.In conclusion, he wished them Gad speed in their glorious undertaking.Votes of thanks were then passed to the honorary ppyeicians, the ladies and to the other Christian friends who had rendered valuable Lelp in many ways to the institution during the past year.The chairman then said that the regn- Jar business was completed and he would like to bear from any gentlemen present on tbis, which he would call the jabilae year, becavse it was the first time they were clear of debt and bad a balance in the bank.Mr.Henry Lyman said the work done by the ipstitution was large and varied.' FOR MEN ONLY! spoke from eixty years\u2019 experience.It He congratulated the mauagement upon its improved financial condition.It was a very impressive fact that benevolent institutions in this city never failed.He taught them rot to re weak in their faith, but to go forward, and God would provide the meane.All they had to do was to act in a provident manner with Pitcher\u2019s Castoria weekly this wiu- ; with the institution., not estimate too high tbe funds placed at their proposal.He also spoke of the quiet and unobtrusive work done by the \u2018ladies in connection In fact, they could J ly the service rendered in more ways than one by these noble, self-sacrificing ladies.With regard to their Home at Lonzue Pointe, be would like to call his hesr- ers\u2019 attention to the fact that the farm was given them by the late Ths.Molson and he thought it would sound much better io call it the Thomas Molson\u2019s Home instead of ag at pressant The Home at Longue Pointe.(Hear, bear.) It wasan admirable Home, and anyone present that afternoon who through misfortune should have to go to it could not but be thankful for its existence, A CONVALESCENT HOMER.Another great want in the community was a convalescent home, and he thought the Home was especially adapted for it, as there was plenty of spare room whera they could set apart a ward for this very purpose, enabling convalescents from the General Hospital to procure the beautiful fresh air which pervaded the Home.He hoped it would receive the attention of the incoming managing committee.Mr.E.E.Shelton spoke of the neces- gity of providing beds and blankets for the inmates of the House of Refuge.He himself had seen one hundred and fifty men sleeping on the floor in their own clothes.It was not a pleasant sight to behold.Rev, Mr.Cruikshank said it was impossible te supply blankets for a certain class, but eo far as it was practicable, necessary clothing was supplied to the mere cleanly inmates.Mr.G.Hague did not think it necessary to supply too much food and clothing to the class who patronized the Refuge.Itwould have a tendency to demoralize and make permanent paupera of them.It would make them less manly, less self-reliant and less inclined to battle with life, They should first try and cleanse them physically, and every one admitted.shouid be compelled to have a bath and their clothes disinfected.Rev.Mr.Kerr also spoke a few cheering werde, expressive of the high admiration of the work done by the society.The following gentlemen wera appointed the Elective Governors for tue ensuing year :\u2014 Messrs.George Cruikshank, James Coristine, George Childs, Alexander W.Morris, Daniei Wilson, Theo.Lyman, Thomas Dawes, George W.Reed, Gilman Cheney, E.F.Ames,

Trunk Railway, Mr.George Robinson, employed as conductor on the western train, was suddenly missed after leaving Vaudreuil station.His disap- resfance created the greatest excitement among his confreres, who were at a loss to account for it.Brakeman Johnston, however, testified at the time that whon the train was stopped at Vaudreuil be heard a sound from the hanging wire at tbe edge of the bridge and then a splash in tbe water.Searches were mado for days afier the occurrence, but with no satisfactory results.The winter next set in, and no more was heard of the missing man.On Monday last an object re- tembling a body was noticed in the river seme distance from the shore.bat the floating ice was too beavy to admit the pazsage of a boat.The spot was, however, reached yesterday morning, apd the dark object proved to he the bedy of the unicrtunate and ill-fated conductor.It was at once removedy to the shore at Vaudreuil and the authorities notified.Tbe body, although much disfigured, was easily recognized by the clothes worn by the deceased at the time of bis disappearance.Mr.Robinson was about fifty-five years of age, and was greatly liked by the travelling public.The deceased was born in Iraland, and bad been a resident of this country for twonty-five years.He entered the ser- vige of the G.T.RB.23 years ago, and was residing on Congregation street, Point êt.Charles.The remains arrived in this city last evening, and were conveyed to his late residence on Congregation street.The interment will take place tc-morrow.re Coming Events, Coming consumption is foreshadowed

House.The newly elected Moderator was Rev.A.B.Mackay, D.D., pastor of Crescent Street Church, Montreal, and after some other routine business tbe Synod adjourned until Wednesday morning at 10 o\u2019clock.MORNING SESSION.The newly elected Moderator, Rev.A.B.Mackay, took the chair at 10 o\u2019clock, and devotional services were carried on for an hour, after which som3 routine business was transacted.The committee appointed to arrange the programme for Synod announced that the subject for the evening would be on \u201c The State of Religion.\u201d The names of the graduates in divinity from the Montreal Presbyterian College, who are ready to be appointed on probation for licenses, were read.The report was accepted.Similar reports were read from Morin College, Quebec; Spencer College, Brockville; Elinburg.College, Scotland; Queen's College, Kingston, Ont.They were all likewisa accepted.The case of St.Andrew's, Perth, in reference to the selection of a site for anew church, was brought up and the documents relating thereto were read.The congregation was divided on tha matter, and one of the sections prayed the Synod to interfere and prevent the board of managers from purchasing a certain site on Foster street, the remaining portion of the congregation wishing to remain at the old site.The clerk and moderator of the Presbytery and members of the congregation in question were present and stated their case to the Synod.AFTERNOON SESSION, The Moderator, Rev.A.B.Mackay, took the chair at 2.30 o'clock.The following report on education was presented by Rev.Dr.MacVicar : To the reverend, the Synod of Moat- real, Ottawa and Quebec : The report of the superintendeat of ecucation indicates that very considerable advance has been made in educational matters during the year.Ninety additional school buildings have been erected, 198 new schools opened, 480 more teachers were employed than in the previous year, neariy 7,000 more scholara were enrolied.Un all this the province is to be congrat- uiated as showing an increasing ajpre- ciation of the advantages of education by the people, and an increasing rea li- ness on the part of the Government to foster and encourage educational institutions.These good dispositions are farther proved by a movement which is not noticed in the report, having taken place since the close ot the last schosl year, viz.: the opening of free night schools in the cities of Montreal and Quebac, mainly at the expense of the Provincial Government, on the request of the labor organizations.The report says that another matter for congratulation was the passage of the B.A.degree bill through the Legislature.Mention was also made of the graceful donation of $10,000 to the University of Toronto by the Provincial Government.It says there are several other matters, however, which cannot be regarded as satisfactory.One is the number of Protestant children who ara reported as attending Roman Catholic schools, viz., 1,202 as against 806 the previous year, though on the other hand the number of Roman Cathôlic children in Protestant schools has somewhat diminished.Tiie committee regret to state thatthe matter of the distribution of the school taxes of joint atock companies to the Catholic and Protestant boards remains in the same unsatisfactory position a6 hitherto, on the basis of population and not of ownership.In reference to the settlement of the Jesuit Estates Act and the distribution of the educational trust, the committee reiterates the position taken by the Synod last year that the acceptance of any sum by Protes- ants under these circumstances is a virtual condoning of tbe action of the Government in granting larzer subsidies, without any just ground, for strictly sectarian purposes.They would also ex- press their condemnation of the action of the Protestant Commissioners of the Council in consenting to minister such moneys.sori position taken by e maj of that committee, that they are not to be arded as representing the Protestant minority, but are merely servants of the Government, is a most erroneous and unfortunate one, being totally inconsistent with the principle on which the Council of Public Instraction is organized.All that can now be done is to repudiate their action on behalf of the Protestant minority, and reserve for the people of the province the right to resume possession of all sectarian grants whenever they may conclude it expedient to do so.ONTARIO.The report of the Minister of Education for Ontario for 1839 indicates that on the whole the edacation of the youaz is carefully and systematically carried out.The report refers to the recent trouble in the counties of Prescott and Russell, about which there has been considerable discussion.A report which was ordered to be made showed that many of the schools were essentially French and Catholic, the Roman Catholic catechism being regularly taught in school hours and the reading books being of the most sectarian character, while in a fow cases altars had been erected for celebrating mass and the rooms adorned with tbe crucifix and pictures of the Virgin Mary.In consequence of the ra.port measures have been taken to provide a series of bilingual readers of an unobjectionable character which alone are to be used after the first of January, 1891.The worst abuses in the past have arisen from the persistent disrszarl of the regulations altogether, and it will be for the public now to see that the new regulations are strictly enforced by the authorities.Respectfully submitted, JOHN SCRIMGER, Convener.In referring to the report, Dr.Mac- Vicar stated that the Protestant parents must be placed in a position in which they sball not be compelled to send their children to Catholic schools.He refarred to the state in which education is in the Province of Quebec.The Board of Education is composed of ten bishops, one cardinal and ten laymen, who are appointed by the Provincial Goverament; which, he stated, is subject to the dictation of the cardinal and bishops.He also referred to the settlement of the Jesuit estates, and disclaimed any part in accepting the \u201chush money\u201d given by the Quebec Government.He moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded and adopted.The Synod then proceeded to arrange for the next meeting of Synod.Rev.Dr.Campbell moved that the Synod meet in Montreal next year, and be invited them to meet in St.Gabriel Church.This was seconded by Rev.F.M.Dewey.It was decided to meet on the second Tuesday of May, at 8 o\u2019clock in the evening.The Synod then went back to the discussion of the previous report, and Rev.Dr.Campbell made some remarks on the question.He stated that the friends of the other race and religion are cognizant of all that is going on, however it may seem to be otherwise.The Presbyterian Synod\u2019s action, he said, is always taken as very important, Mr.Walter Paul referred to tha position of the Protestant minority in the province of Quebec in reference to educational matters, and stated that it was only a tew who would take a decided stand in the matter aud they are denounced as fanatics and fools.Rev.F.M.Dewey asked if the figures in the report included the Protestant children who are attending the different Catholic conveuts.Iu repiy, Dr.Mac- Vicar stated that the figures only included those in attendance at the elementary schools.It was suggested and agreed that the committee be instructed to send a circular containing all such information to the different congrezations, so that ministers will become better informed on the question.STATE OF RELIGION.Rev.Mr.Clark then presented his report on the \u201cState of Religion.\u201d It dealt with the number of reports received by the committee from different congreza- tions, wbich have beea fairly well sent in, In answer to the question sant out: \u201cDo parents instruct their children in scripture truths ?\u201d the report is that such is not dons as much a3 would be liked.* Is the catechism used in families of congregations ?\u201d The reports received indicate that about eighty per cent.of the families do.\u201c Do children attend church with their parents?\u201d In answer to this question the reports indicate that the number is increasing.\u201cIs family worship observed in the home?\u201d The answers to this question show that family worship is not so generally observed as would be desirable.In summing up the reports on the different questions, the general outlook is said not to be bad, while it is true, at the same time, that there is a great deal of negligence among some families.The state of religion in the congregation was referred to, and answers received in reply to questions go to show that it is most encouraging, The attendance of the young people at the weekly prayer meeting is not generally satisfactory, as there is a very poor showing of the young people at these meetings.The interest taken by elders in the work of the congregations was referred to.The report says many of them take a lively interest in their work, while others are only elders in name.The visite of elders to the families of congregations was shown by the report to be of an irregular nature.Many have no regular time for visits, and only do so when oczasion arises, and others only at the regular meeting.The question, \u201c Have you a Sabbath School 7\u201d is answered by congregations in almost every instance in the affirmative.In nearly every case most of the children attend.It has been recognized as a great instrument of good in the work among the young people.The next department referred to was missions.In a number of the congreza- tions in Montreal, missionary societies are being carried on in connection with the congregations.Missionary intelligence is given at the meetings and an interest is thus awakened in the work.Literature is also distributed, and it has been found that this also stimulates the work.Nearly all the congregations bave Women\u2019s Auxiliary ~Missionary Societies, and the report says the work is increasing, as well as contributions to the work.It says, however, that it does not increase in proportion to the needs of the church and there is room for improvement.Evangelistic work and Sabbath observance were also touched in the report.The reports received in that connection show that there is great nvad for improvemsnt Special efforts, the report Says, are sure to meet with some opposition from some quarters, but many have dear recollections of such services.The report recommended that questions be forwarded to presbyteries to have them filled out by congregations in time to have them made up in a report for the General Assembly.It also recommended that workers be encouraged to greater zaal.The report was on motion adopted.One question which was in the list which the committee recommended to be sent to the different congregations was, \u201c Do the ministers do their duty 7\u201d This was objected to by a number of the Synod as being unpresbyterian, and 8 committee was appointed to deal with that and several other questions.SALBATH SCHOOLS, The report on Sabbath Schools was next presented, giving the following figures within tbe jurisdiction of the Synod: Number of officers and teachers on roll, 2,490 ; number of scholars on roll, 23,486 ; number added during year, 1,842; average attendance of scholars, 15,191; average attendance of teachers, 1,812; number of scholars who are communicants, 3,096; toinl amount raised in Sabbath School, $13,522; umount expended on Sabbath School, $5,552.The committees presented some recommendations, and the one referring to tae disposition of moneys: collected by the schools, occupied the attention of the Synod for a short time.TEMPERANCE.The report on temperance was then presented.It dealt with the questions which were put to ministers in the olden time as to their standing on the question.Many of these caused much laughter and would seem very ridiculous at the present day.The report in a nutshell is to the effact that the temperance sentiment of the present day is in a very unsatisfactory condition.The report referred to tho question of allowing women to vote and spoke in favor of permitting them to exercise their franchise should they desire to do go.The different recomaendations | were gone over and adopted.The Synod having concluded the busi ness mapped out for the afternoon session, the meeting adjourned until the evening at 8 o'clock, when a conference will take place on the state of religion and under that heading Sabbath schools and temperance will be discussed.EVENING SESSION.A public conference was held at eight o'clock in St.John\u2019s Church, presided over by Rev.Dr.Mackay.After opening devotional exercises and routine business, Rev.George M, Clark opened the discussion on the state of religion.He touched upon the lack of teaching of the Scriptures to the young by parents, the absence cf family worship in many families, the necessity for deeper interest in the work of the congregation, and its weekly meetings, and the necessity for prayer for guidance.There were reasons for thankfulness on the general outlook.Rev.Alexander McGillivray followed on Sunday school work.His address was on the importance of the work and the extent to which it is being carried on.He urged greater preparation among children for Sunday school.The temperance aspect was discussed by Rev.George MacArthur,who denounced the liquor traffic as the most abominable evil that the Church of Christ has to contend with.He said it is enough to put the church toshame the way it has been playing with the evil.In referring to the way to overcome the evil, the first step would be to give women the right to vote, and secondly, the teaching of scientific temperance in the public schools and the strict enforcement of the law.The meeting was then throwa open for discussion.Rev.Mr, Hastie spoke of Catechism study.Rev.Dr.Campbell continued on the same subject and Mr.Walter Paul supported their remarks and referred to intemperance and its evils, Rev.James Patterson and others followed on the general aspects of the work, after which the mesting was brought to a close.The Synod adjourned until to-morrow morning, when the case of St.Andrew\u2019s Church, Perth, will come up.Two sections of the congregation are to come before the Synod and the hearing will probably occupy the morning session.SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.If you want a new and delightful experience in life, and which will add to your length of days, take Turkish Baths.Foot of McGill College Avenue.A PURE CANARD.The French newspaper La Presse atated last evening that a man had been seen jumping from one of the piers of Victoria Bridge into the river.On enquiry by a HrrALD reporter the statement was found to be untrue, and only originated in the fertile imagination of one of the reporters.Ssveral persons last evening inquired at the Central Station about the matter, and were sent home, being assured that nothing of the kind had occurred and that the statement was merely à cunard.-_\u2014m\u2014 Smoke Hand-Made Cigar, Neotar, 5 Cents.-\u2014\u2014\u2014 SELECT KNIGHTS.At a meeting last evening of a joint committee from the several legions in Montreal, of the Select Knights of Canada, it was decided to hold a grand excursion to Ottawa on Dominion Day, and arrangements with the Canadian Pacific Railway for a special train that day were made.The tickets are put at the low figure of $2 return.This promises to be the excursion of the day, as the committee intend sparing no expense to carry it out in a successful manner.They also intend giving a grand concert on the evening of that day in the city of Ottawa, The Select Knights'are a semi- military and insurance organization, and number

interesting addrees on \" À tale of a sorrowful life.\u201d The lecturer took as his subject Edgar Allan Poe and quoted extensively from his works.He also traced the life and work of such noted men as Dickens, Goldsmith and Johnston, and referred to their higher qualities as well as their unfortunate failings.He also spoke of the temptation to which men of culiure and intellect were exposed, and referred to the fact that a title bestowed upon a man did not elevate him in the estimation of his fellow-men.The lecturer was accorded a hearty vote of thanks.The closing meeting of the reason will take place next Wednesday evening.\u2014\u2014_, FITS \u2014All Fits stopped free by Dr.s Kline\u2019s Great Nerve Restorer.No Hits after first day's use, Marvellous cures.Treatise and $2.00 trial

ATTENDED 10.Several New Sewers to be Constructed Without Delay.Tbe Road Committee met as usual yesterday afternoon under the chairmanship of Ald.Prefontaine.Aldermen Wilson, Brunet, J.B.R.Dufresne, À.Dubuc, Wm.Kennedy and Patrick Kennedy were also in their places, The visitors included His Worship, the Mayor, Aldermen Thompson, V.Grenier, Tansey, Stevenson and Hurteau.Ald.Thompson appearsd on bahalf of the proprietors in some of the new streets in St.Gabriel Ward, which had been built upon since annexation.He mentioned Rosarie, Charron and Fafard streets as instances, and said that the drains were there, but no roads.lt wa virtually a bog, and grass was growin: on the streets.Ald.Dufresne tried to sooth Ald Thompson by saying that the City Sur veyor would expend all the money allot ted for the different wards.Ald.Thompson in reply said that h believed ell that, but they had no desir to be without streets for five years t come, ; The matter wss referred to the City Surveyor, wbo compared the place to a regular quagmire.The chairman stated that Sir Donald Smith bad complained about the condition of Baile street.Ald.Pat.Kennedy said that if there was any privileges going Sir Donald should get them, for, he said, \u201che\u2019s a good decent man.\u201d To this the mayor nodded assent, and the City Surveyor was requested to attend to it, as also St.Hypolite street.The chairman next introdaced the question of the three old people who last year had kiosks on Viger Garden, There had been complaints against the woman who had the one at the corner of St.Denis and Dubord streets, but nothing against the other two.The residents desired to have the former removed and the City Surveyor had under his instrac- tions given all three notice to leave.The Mayor maintained that the two on the Craig street side were good ones and far from being a nuisance.Ald.Wilson moved that the three be allowed to remain another year, bat that their location be subject to the approval of the City Surveyor.Carried.The claim of a Mrs.Dyer, who sustained some injuries by falling on the sidewalk on St.Constant street, was 1e- ferred to the City Attorney.A petition was read requesting that that portion of Notre Dame street between Papineau square to beyond the railway bridge be paved with granite blocks.Referred to the Finance Committee.In answer to a question put by Ald.Wilson as to how the asphalt had stood the winter, the City Surveyor replied, very well.There were some cracks which Ald.Brunet suggested should be filled up.Some of the people on St.Peter street petitioned against stone being ussd on that street between Si.James and Craig streets.The City Surveyor favored stone in preference to macadam, as the latter was apt to be detrimental to the wood pavement on Craig street.It was finally decided to recommend stone from St.St.James to Iortification lane and wood from there to Craig street.Mr.Faucher appeared before the committee and desired to know which of the two lines on Little St.Antoine street was to be adopted.A sub-committee composed of Ald.Wilson, J.B.R.Dufresne and W.Kennedy were to enquire into the matter and report.It was next decided to recommend the construction of a number ofgowers in different parts of the city.Mr, James Baxter some time ago built some new houses on the new line on St.Catherine street, which was subsequently changed, and there was a piece of land left.As Mr, Baxter had erected the houses when the proceedings were going on, the expropriation of the land in the usual course was agreed to.; The sub-committee on Messrs.Bastien and Valiquette\u2019s claim for supplementary work on Craig street, reported that they had examined the account, which they found to be reasonable.There was one thing, however, they wished the committee to decide upon before the final report was presented.The contractors claimed $1.75 per day for their men\u2019s time and the corporation only paid their men $1.25.There was a lengthened discussion as to the relative class of work and men and how they were paid.Mr.Lavallee stated that $1.25 had been paid for the same class of work on Notre Dame street.The Chairman stated that one of the partners had signified his intention of accepting 81.65, but later on withdrew this.Ald.W.Kennedy moved, seconded ty Ald.Pat.Kennedy, that they offer $1.60 in settlement of the claim.The Chairman asked that they offer $1.70 and make it unanimous, which was agreed to, with Ald.J.B.R.Dufresne dissenting.\u2014\u2014 Smoke Hand-Made Cigar Nectar, 5 Cents AMUSEMENTS.MISS ABBOTT AS * ELVIRA.\u201d The audience at the Academy last evening was equally as large and appreciative as on any night during Miss Abbott\u2019s engagement.The piece chosen was Balfe\u2019s \u201cRose of Castile,\u201d which, with its captivating strains, proved a most attractive card.Miss Abbott appeared as Elvira, Queen of Castile, and, as was to be expected from a young lady of her abilities, she did full justice to the character.Senor Michelena made his first appearance befors a Montreal audience in the role of Manuel, King of Spain, and the impression he made was highly cra- ditable to himself.The company, as usual, gave excellent support, and, judging from the applause contributed, the andience were thoroughly satisfied with the evening's amusement afforded them.EMMA ABBOTT IN * ERNANI\"\u201d TO-NIGHT.To-night the chef d\u2019œuvre of the Abbott week of opera will be given in the presentation of \u2018Verdis masterpiece of melody and brilliancy, \u201cErnani,\u201d in which the prima donna and her entire company excel.The opera will be magnificently mounted and costumed, Emma Abbott's costumes being furnished by j ception, accommodation, Worth.It is doubtful if à more brilliant | pr or strikingly beautiful opera has ever been written than \u201cErnani,\u201d although its companion piece, \u201cTrovatore,\u201d is equally popular and probably better known.\u201cTHE STILL ALARM.\u201d Next week the attraction at the Academy of Music will be Harry Lacy and his \u201cEtill Alarm\u201d Company, which has proved such a success in every city in which it has appeared.The company is said to be an exceptionally strong one, and there is no doubt that its brief stay in Montreal will be as successful as elsewhere.GUS HILL'S NOVELTIES seem to be gaining in popularity, if we are to take as a criterion the large and appreciative andiences which fill the Royal at both performances daily of this abie combination.Those who have not visited the Royal this week should do 80, and we can assare them they will have no reason to regret their visit.\u201cTHE EMIGRANT.\u201d The atiraction at the Royal next week will be \u201cPete\u201d Baker, the celebrated comedian, who will appear in \u201cThe Emigrant.\u201d Itis a play which brings him fcrward to the best advantage, but at the same time the story is interesting, and is unravelled with considerable skill.THE ELIJAH.The Elijah was one of the last great works of Mendelssohn and was finished in the year 1845, the composer's death occurring in the follow year.There is no controversy now as to its being the greatest and most inspired works of the master, the religious teeling which the theme calls for being strong and the dramatic effort which is required in the portrayal of the stirring events of the Prophet's life is powerful.The life of Merdelssohn is one of the pleasantest pages to read in biographical literature, and it might be said of him that his nature was one replete with the highest esthetics, full of brightness, natural affection and humanity.From such a nature, allied as it was to a musical talent remarkable for its individuality, it 18 not surprising to find produced a work, the softer feelings of nature ia which are emphasised and powerfully brought out.Great vigor and brightness characterite the composition turough- out, and the pathetic passages are suffused with sympathetic feeling which is deep as well as tender.'L'hie Montreal Philharmonic Society performed this work for the fourth time, last evening, during the course, of their career, which now numbers fifteen years.The society, in coming before the public, bave always as a choir done unexceptionable work, and this year it is possessed of a chorus of unusual strength and brilliancy.The selection of the Windsor Hall for the concerts this season is hardly a wise choice, as its acoustics are not such as to show a large orchestra to best advantage.The arrangement of the chorus also was such that about one-half of them and the audience were mutually invisible to each other.To the choral part of the work too much praise cannot be given.Those who have had the advantare of hearing other large choirs on the Continent admit that the work done by our Philharmonic choirs cannot be surpassed.There was no sign of weakness in any of the parts, but if any part was more brilliant than another it was the sopranos, owing to their being very numerous, and the entire performance was characterized by sustained tempo and appropriate vigor.It is almost unnecessary to particularize The majestic \u201cYet Doth the Lord See It Not.\u201d the almost fanatical force of \u201cThe Fire Descends From Heaven.\u201d The bright fervor of \u201cThanks be to God,\u201d the declamatory confusion of \u201cWoe to Him,\u201d the fine dramatic effects of \u201cBehold God the Lord,\u201d the cantabile of \u201cHe Watching,\u201d and the graceful \u201cBlessed Are the Men\u201d and \u201cHe That Shall Endure to the End,\u201d all received care and necessary interpretation by the choir, which was appreciated by the large audience, The orchestra is a large one, and is well up to the work before them, which is not an easy one.The brass drown the strings occasionally in the forte passages, and the whole orchestra have a little of the usual fault of playing too loud.Technically, however, they are almost beyond reproach.Miss Ida Bond Young sang the soprano part, and was heard to advantage in her solos, \u201c What have I to do with thee ?\u201d and \u201c Hear ye,\u201d but her knowledge of her part is far from perfect, especially in some of the recitations.Mr.Chas.Knorr is an old favorite Montreal- er, and his voice is even better than on previous occasions.He was not once during the evening drowned by the orchestra (a great point in his favor) and sang all with correctness and taste.Miss Moylan sustained the role of the contralto, and although the necessities of the part are arduous, she came through with great credit to herself and to Montreal.Dr.Mortin is also a favorite here, and was for the first time heard in the part of \u201cElijah.\u201d He was best in the solo \u201c Is Not His Word Like a Fire ?\u201d which he sang finely.He lacks fire somewhat in the part calling for dramatic power, and has a tendency to sing bis recitatives too slowly.The minor parts were sustained by Mr.Ramsay, Miss Grier, Messrs.Power and Fisk.Professor Couture received an ovation from audience and choir on his appearance, and that his talents are not on the wane was evident by the fine rendition that was given en ensemble of Mendelssohn\u2019s master-piece.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 Smoke Hand-Made Cigar, Nectar, 5 Cents.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,
