[" Por + EDOYS AD, TO-DAY \u2014_\u2014T A POINTER FOR YOU.READ IT! EODYSAD, To-nay \u2014_\u2014Is A POINTER FOR YOU READ IT EIGHTY-FIFTH YEAR.NO.294.MONTREAL, SATURDAY MORNING.DECEMBER I0, 1892, PRICE TWO CENTS DESIGNED TO FOIL Such Said to be the Object of the British Monetary Delegates.Bi-Metailist Delegates Propose to Unite In Signing a Memorandum on the Obstruction Offered by Great Britain to a Deter mination of the Questions\u2014The Withdrawal of the Rothschild Proposals Regretted.Brussels, Dec.9.\u2014The bi-metallist delegates to the International monetary conference are discussing whether they will unite in signing a memorandam on the ob struction offered by Groat Britain to a determination of the question before the conference.If tho conference resumes its sit, tings after a prolongued adjournment, such a protest is congeived to tend to induce the British Government to present to the conference a decided policy through its delo- gates acting in union thereon.The present British delegation appears to have been sent purposely to muddle the proceedings, There is no cohesion among the British representatives, either as to principles or procedure.Each delegate appears to act as an individual agent, except Sir C.Rivers Wilson and Sir U.Freeman, Deputy Master of the British Mint, the latter of whom used his official position to disclaim any responsibility for the proposals presented by by Alfred De Rothschiid.Bertram Currie and Sir Willian Houldsworth have not a single idea in common, and they have strong individual contempt for each others views.Neither General Strithey nor Sir Guildford Molesworth, the Indian delegates, have official orders as to the course to take.It has been made clear that the British Government.has purposely avoided giving any Instructions tending to the commen action of its delegates upon any point whatever.It is now obvious this course was designed to foil the conference in coming to any general or special solution of the silver question.It is expected that Senator Jones will wind-up the debate on international bi.thetallism on Tuesday, with an important declaration.The concluding Jsitting on Thursday will be devoted to an endeavor to crystallize the results of the conference.The special committee will meet Again to- Morrow to further consider the various plans.Regret has been expressed in the last few days, that the de Rothschild proposals have been completely withdrawn, as it is generally felt that they would have formed the basis of a temporary compromise if an understanding with regard to the chief objection of the Americans\u2014the price at which silver should be purchased\u2014could be arrived at.À scheme on similar lines might yet be adopted.In that event the conference will be adjourned till May to enable the delegates to submit the scheme to their respective governments.It is rumored to-day that several delegates have received revised instructions inspiring a hope that a modus vivendi may yet be discovered.M.Beernaert, the Belgian Prime Minister, has issued an emphatic denial of a statement widely circolated in Engiand and Germany that.he had declared in the lobby of the Chamber vhat the conference was practically a failure.Berlin, Dec.9\u2014In the Reichstag to-day Herr Mirbach, a conservative, who was supported by many members of his party, in- roduced an interpellation demanding to know whether the federal government approved of the German delegates to the Brussels conference not supporting the almost unanimous effort of the .other delegates to combat the depreciation of silver.ITALY AND THE DREIBUND, She isin Accord With that Power in Improving Foreign Relations.Rome, Dec.9.\u2014Signor Brin, Minister of Foreign Affairs, during a discussion of the budget estimates in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday, replied to the statement that had been made to the effect that the Drei.bund is becoming cooler.He declared the assertions were bitterly untrue.Italy, in improving her relations with all the Powers, was in complete accord with the Powers of the Dreibund, and every evidence of 1m- proved relation with any power is regarded as a sign of success of their common policy, which was now beginning to bear fruit.Its success in diminishing distress abroad was not due to any change in Italy's policy, but to an improvement of the general situation.he speech was greatly applauded and the estimates were approved.Tug Burned at Amherstburg, Amberstburg, Ont, Dec.9.\u2014The tug International, owned by Captain F.B.Hackett, was burned nearly to the water\u2019s edge, while lying at the dock here last night.She will be almost a total loss.Bombs For Krupp\u2019s Workmen.Vienna, Dec.9.\u2014The Tagsblatt says that e large bomb exploded near the dwel ings of the workmen in the great iron works of Krupp\u2019s nephew at Bernsdorf.Much dam.tZe Was caused to property.Returned from Homestead Sick.Toronto, Dec.9.\u2014Joseph Stanford, who lies been working in the Carnegie mills at Homestead, Pa., all summer, arrived here to-day and was conveyed to his home in the #mbulance.During the recent troubles there the wells werepoisonedand from drinking the polluted waters he is suffering from chronic diarrhea.The Drummord Fire Under Control, Westville, N.S., Dec.9.\u2014The fire in the Drummond mine is under control, but possibly not yet estinguished.It will take some 48 hours more to reach a certainty as to the condition of the mine.It is expected that active operations will resume on Mon- ay.Well-Known Quebee Man Dead.Quebec, Dec.9.\u2014Mr.Amos Bowen, a well-known lumberman of this city, is dead.The deceased was well known throughout Canada.The Government revenue cutter had to scek shelter in Indian cove this morning, on account of floating ice.The Fire Record.Cincinnati, Dec.9\u2014The plant of the Sae- gendorff Iron Roofing and Corrugating Co.wes burned to.day.Loss $100,000 ; insurance two-thirds.\u2019 Dresden, Ont., Dec.9\u2014Rudd\u2019s carriage works were burned this morning.The t'anufactured goods were saved, but everything else was destroyed.The insurance is $1400, which will probably cover one-third ot the loss, Barrie, Dec.9\u2014Mickle Dyment and Son\u2019s arge saw mill on the lake shore here was totally destroyed by fire about three o'clock this morring.Owing to the west wind blowing at the time, the seagon\u2019s cut of umber was saved.The mill was shut own for the winter about three weeks a 0, Aud no person has been inside since.he feneral opinion is that incendiarism was he cause of the fire.The loss is about 25,000 ; insured for $5,300, divided be- REVOLT AGAINST HOME RULE.Sir Edwin Reed Publishes His Views on That Measure, London, Dec.9.\u20148ir Edwin Reed publishes a long letter showing a revolt on the part of many Liberais.He declares that he and other Commoxers will not be a party to any Home Kule scheme giving Ireland control of anything more than purely local end domestic \u201cailairs.He wil not assist any separation, or arbitration to release prison- ets, while on questions like the restoration of evicted tenants he will vote independently us he thinks just and right to do.- Halifax Dudes in Trouble.Halifax, Dec.9.\u2014 Steamer

bills.\u2018In some cases the youths failed to honor notes at maturing.Three of them were before the city stipendiary this afternoon under the debtors\u2019 act.THE GREAT COTTON STRIKE.THOUSANDS MANCHESTER OPERATIVES REDUCED TO STARVATION.Mr.Mawdsley Thinks the Master Will be Forced to Yield at the End of January.Manchester, Dec.8.\u2014A month has elapsed since the beginning of the great cotton strike or lock out and it appears to be no nearer a settlement than it was at the beginning.The only satistactory feature of the dispute is the perfect order maintained throughout the spinning districts.The members of the Amalgamated Association of Spinners are in regular receipt of their weekly strike pay and there is little suffering among them, but there is another side to the subject which is not so bright.It ie estimated that 40,000 mill hands who belong to no union have been rendered idle through the dispute.With no treasurer to draw upon, their condition is pitiable.Thousands of tham are now reduced almost to starvation.Application was made yesterday to a magistrate at Old.ham for three hundred warrants against operatives who were in arrears for borough rates.The Magistrate refused to grant them and told the bailif who made the application to apply when the strike was ended.In an interview yesterday Mr.Mawdsley said in relation to the Manchester strike : \u201cIt is my opinion that the cotton struggle will last until the end of J anunary when the masters will be forced to yield, \u2018as it will pay them to re-open their works owing to the enhanced price of yarns and cloth and the diminished stocks.If necessary the spinners can hold out until Easter, but the condition of the non-union hands becomes worse daily, as they do not receive strike pay.Their household goods are going to the pawn-shops and there is an enormous increase in poor relief.\u201d MAY WORK HALF TIME.Manchester, Dec.9.\u2014At a meeting of the representatives of the Masters\u2019 Cotton Federation and the Northeast Lancashire Manufacturers\u2019 Association, a resolution was adopted in favor of the members of the Lancashire Association running their ills only three days in the week.§ the resolution is generally enforced it will have serious consequences for the strikers in South Lancashire who depend largely upon the weekly lovies from the northern operatives, who will be unable to continue this support if the short time is enforced.THE NEWS FROM RICHMOND, Departure of Mr.J.H.Lane\u2014Liberals Talk of Organizing.[Special to The Herald.l

His Future Actions\u2014Nearly a Serious Fire at Point Levis, [Special to The Herald.) Quebec, Dec.9.\u2014 The Political situation still remains unchanged pending Mr.Chap- leau\u2019s arrival on Monday, when Mr.De Bouchervilles intentions will be made known.The Castor element is striving hard to induce him to remain, and it is believed that the Premier is as yet quite undecided.In his immediate entourage it is stated positively that he will leave on Tuesday.A prominent member of the Legislature said to your correspondent yesterday: \u201cI quite believe that Mr.De Boucherville will £0, not that I approve of his doing so.1 think his doing so would be a breach of the constitution, but he is an old man, and after all he is not obliged to work with a man he does not like.\u201d Other Conservatives believe that De Boucherville is deeper than he seems, and that he will remain at the heaed of the Gor- ernment only if Messrs.Hall and Casgrain have succeeded in borrowing six millions.Ii they have not, they will be left to explain the situation as best they may.Tory organs in this city are raising the religious cry in favor of the new Ottawa administration.\u201cIn the Thompson Cabinet.\u201d says L'Evenement, \u2018\u2018they s&y, we, (the Province of

Laine, of Levis, narrowly escaped destruction through fire this evening.Towards five o'clock flames broke out from the roof of an extensive structure on the opposite side of Commercial street formerly occupied by the Lauson hotel, but of late years used as a warehouse in connection with the foundry.The fire burned brightly until eight o\u2019clock, whenitwasextinguished after heroiceffortsby the Levis fire brigade.The building in itself was nat of great value, Messrs.Carrier & Laine have, however, lost a considerable number of expensive moulds and instruments.The loss is believed to be entirely covered by insurance.From Quebec the conflagration appeared so alarming that crowds congregated on the wharves, the buttery and the terrace, and it was thought for a time that the whole town stood in danger of destruction.The Quecec fire brigade was held in readiness to cross, if required, WENATCHEE IN A TURMOIL.Rallroad Graders and Itaitans Fight Over a Gambler, Spokane, Wash., Dec.9.\u2014A riot occurred at Wenatchee last night, and for three hours the town was in control of a mob of graders.Wetnat- chee is about 100 miles west of here on the Great Northern Railway.The

EXCITING TIME FOR THE NEW REPUBLICAN PREMIER.The Great French Crisis at an End for the Present\u2014The Public Feeling.Paris, Dec.9.\u2014The majority in the Chamber of Deputies that yesterday voted confidence in the Government, after listening to the Ministerial declaration, consisted exclusively of Republicans.The minority included the Boulangists and some of the members of the party of the Right.An important part of the Right and extreme Left refrained from voting.A member of the Panama investigating committee said to-day : \u201c\u2018 When it is considered that we have been working in the dark, unaided by information from the hands of the Government, we have done well in unearthing corrupt acts.We now go right on, and stop for nothing or nobody.\u201d THE PANAMA AFFAIR.It is reported the Government is ready to communicate to the Panama Committee the document relating to the Panama Canal Company, on condition that the members of the committee preserve such secrecy as will prevent the disclosures from interfering with the course of justice.Three members of the Panama Committee who were sent to examine the books of the firm of Kohn & Reinach reported to-day that they had found that during the first six months of 1888, Arton, the alleged go- between, had on several occasions drawn on the account of Baron Reinach for 1,000,000 francs.M.Ribot, the prime minister, was present at the session of the committee to-day.He promised to act in concert with it and to assist in throwing full light upon the whole Panama affairs.M.Bourgeois, Minister of Jus.ice, was also present.The Panama Canal investigating committee to-day examined Deputy Viau, who is manager of the Dynamite Company.He testified that after the death of Mr.Barbe, who was charged with having received bribes from Baron Reinach, he sued his heirs for 320,000 francs which he declared Mr.Barbe owed him.Mr.Viau said, however, that he did not believe that the money was in any way connected with Panama canal affairs.Dr.Brouardel and the medical fepresen- tative of' the police, accompanied by Dr.Bertillion, have gone to Beauvais to perform an autopsy on the body of the Baron Rein- ach.Londan, Dec.9.\u2014The Paris correspondent of The Times says: \u201c Soon after six o'clock last evening a cluster of people was observed reading on a poster on the walls of the Ministry of Marine building the declaration which had been read, tremblingly, only two hours before by Premier Ribot.The speed with which the poster was gotten out indicates the anxiety with which the Government is watched, and which it is quite powerless to withstand.It is what I have throughout called a canspiracy, not only against the Republic but against the State.Couched in items of high-minded patriotism, M.Ribot\u2019s statement places recent incidents in their proper perspective, recalling the all but frenzied or bewitched deputies to & proper sense of their responsibilities and obligations.Had yesterday's attempt failed to bring quietude, President Carnot himself would have been insulted, and his official existence would have been menaced.Happily time and cleverness, working on the same side, discovered how to avert the thunderbolt, Among the ambassadors, re- resentatives of two parties to the Drei- und watched Premier Ribot\u2019s literally trembling fingers as they fumbled the

to-day introduced a bill to amend the iaws relating to the transportation of merchgudiee between United tates ports, so as #0 make it unlawful for any foreign vessel to carry merchandise from one port

Mr.E.B.Greenshields, and numerously attended, was held vester- day.Mr.Greenshields explained the object of the meeting, which was to make a change in the by-law of the association, whereby they would be authorized to raise $350,000 instead of $500,000, as at first proposed, upon the issue of shares, bonds, or otherwise The president remarked that thers was no change to speak of in the estimates of the new building or on the general property.The council had been very careful in the way of extras, and the statement of cost did not vary by a few thousand dollars from the statement submitted by their former president, Mr.Robert Archer.What the meeting was asked to do was simply to confirm tho action of the Council taken last ar.Mr.Robert Archer moved that the bylaw be amended, and Mr.J.P.Cleghorn seconded it.Mr.Hague questioned the legality of the proceeding, but Mr.E.B.Greenshields assured him that he had taken the opinion of Messrs.Hall, Cross, Brown and Sharpe and of Messrs.Bethune & Bethune, two eminent firms, and they advised that it is perfectly legal.he amendment then passed unanimously.The Hon.Geo.A.Drummond moved: \u201cThat the Council be and it is hereby

family.The patria potes- tas reigns supreme; it is for the father to Lsay whether the little life-bud shall grow up to become a citizen or oitizeness of the Middle Kingdom.In accordance with the family law, which is supreme in China both for the Emperor and for his meanest subject, until the child has been \u2018lifted up\u201d by the father it has theoretically no existence.It follows, therefore, that infanticide, or the failure to provide for offspring, receives the tacit approval of the iaw.Ag male children are a means of support in old age, they are useful, and ravely if ever destroyed.Duughters, however, are a responsibilty and an expense, and are frequently exposed.Obviously they are not overwelcome in the Chinese home.Mothers of the poorer class exhibit considerable anxlety as to the matter, and frequently consult the neighboring joss-house, which, of course, has a panacea forall woes.The Taouist priest throws up the \u201csticks\u201d in order to ascertain whether the tree which represents the Woman in the underworld bears white or red flowers.If white, then something must be done \u2018\u2018to change the earth,\u201d for, as surely as the sun rises, to her no male children shall be bern.But what is to be done?The remedy is certainly & curious one.It is an illustration of the familiar homeopathic principle that like cures like.In such a case the girl child of another family must be adepted in order to ward off the long line of females which threatens the welfare of the house.This process is known as \u201c grafting.\u201d Thus it turns out that a girl not wanted in her own home is at least permitted to live in another.Dut even then there is a surplus, and the mandarins are at their wits\u2019 ends stem the fearful tide of infanticide.% number of benevolent Chinese merchants have devised a plan which is certain] charming, considered both from the point of view of ingenuity and charitable intent.The little girls are brought up in asylume, which are practically female universities.Although deserted by their families, the authorities take great pains tô obtain their pedigrees, which are hung up over their cots, and are, of course, invaluable for future use.As they grow older these children are carefully trained and elaborately educated.Arriving at o marriageable age they have an enor: mous advantage over thie average Chinese woman, who never receives any education whatever, unless belonging to the wealthy or official class.Indeed.paradoxical as it may seem, very few Chinese women can even read or write, and therefore the little foundling carries to her husband the one great boom which is the ideal, however remote, of every Chinese heart-\u2014an education.\u2014From \u201cA New Light on the

Too Decides That it Shall Not be Pald if They Can Possibly Avoid It\u2014Preparations for the Great Mining Convention in February Next.The provine:a!l government has fallen upon hard days, jor ju addition to tle merchants\u2019 agitation against the busi.uess license tax, the miniug men have decided not to pay the tax of $150 on explosives, used in wizing work.if they can possibly avoid it.This was the decision come to by the General Mining association of the Province of Quebec at ils spacial meeting yesterday.Mr.Jumes King, M.P.P., jor Megantic, the first vice-president, occupied the chair, and there were present Col.Lucke, Bherbrooks, oi the Beaver Asbestos cow pany; H.J.Jeifrcy, Richmond; W.A.Allan, Ottawa; Hector McRae, Temples tou, Electric Mining company; J.Lain- son Wills, C.IE, Ottawa; 3.P.Franchot, Buckingham, Uttawu Phosphate Mining company; J.Burley Smith, Glen Almond, British Phosphate company; kL.A.Klein, Black Lake, Ujrited States As bestos eompany; J.J.Peuhale, Black Lake, United Asbestos company; (&.PB.Bmith, Thetiord, Bell's Asbestos company; J.R.Irwin amd KR.Hopper, of the Anglo-Canadian Asbestos company, Black Lake; C.Carkle, Templotou Asbestos company, T.P.Bacon, agent of the New Rockiand State Quarry, Montreal; A.W.Stevenson, trensurer, Montreal, and B.T.A.Bell, sceretary, Ottawa; Prof.C.HU.McLeod, president of the Canadian Bociety of Civil Engiucers, and Prol.B.Harrington, oi McGill Ujoiversiltss were also in attendance.Alter routine the meeting begau the discussion of the tax of $150 levied by the provincial goverument upon all persons who keep on hand mere than 25 pounds ol dyuamite, dualine or other explosives.This is felt by the mining wen to be a most unjust discrimination against their industry, which already pays its Lui! share of provincial taxation.The tax was originally intended as an smpost upon those dealers who kept explosives ou hand for eale, and not upon mining mez.The matter was discussed at considerable length.the general opinion of the meeting baing strongly opposed to paying the tax, and finally & deputation was appointed to wait upon the provincial government to endeavor to kecure a modification of the law, ior failing relief in that manner, to ask the \\rovernment to allow a test case to be taken before the courts.The delegates, Col.Lucke, Hon.Goo.Irvime, A.L.Klein, J.B.Smith and James King, M.P.P., will, in event of the government refusing to modify the law, collect subscriptions to fight the tax.During the discussion Col.Lucke de-\u2019 clared that fe mining men all over the province were united against paying the tax, and Mr.Klein pointed out that the government could easily modify the law, Tor the act imposing the tax empowered the lieutenant-governor in council to exempt mining, railway and quarry companies.He believed that the action of Khe collectors last year was & petity trick.They secured a cheque from \u2018the president, Hon.Geo.Irvine, for his tax, and then used that as a lever to wring the money out of the pockets of the other miners.Mr.James King, M.P.P,, declared that there was not the least doubt that Mr.Mercier intended the tax \u2018to apply to miners, for he had exempted \u2018them.from municipal taxation.Secretary Bell pointed out the injustice of the tax.The governmenf might as well tax wheelbarrows, picks and shov- ola.Col.Lucke and Mr.Jeffrey declared that they would not pay the tax under any circumstances.Mr.B.T.A.Bell then detailed at considerable length the preparations for the great mining convention to be held in Montreal on February 21 and following days, the arrangements for which have been previously outlined in The Herald.The prospects for the convention were discussed and it was resolved to appoint all the Montreal members of the association as a committee to arrange a program of entertainment for the American and Canadian visitors.The meeting talked over the probability of either holding the convention a week earlier than the date originally fixed, or of postponing the M.A.A.A.week of sports until the convention week in order to allow the vigitors to see Montreal at its best, aud Messrs.Gardner, Stevenson and Irvine were appointed a committee to interview the directors ef the M.A.A.A.upon the subject.The annual meeting of the association was \u2018postponed until the week of the convention, thus following the example of the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers.Before the adjournmont Mr.Bell asked the \u2018association to express an opinion upon the desirability of a civil servant investing his capital in mining and devoting Lis sparc time to that industry.He instanced the case of T.J.Watters, of the customs department, who had devoted his capital to developing the nica resources of Ottawa county.Ho considered it unfair that any man, be he a government employe or not, should not be allowed to use his spare time as he saw fit.Mr.J.B.Smith declared that he could not give any countenance to a public servant using the time for which the country paid him in private enterprise, Mr.Jeffrey stated that no man could eérve two masters, but the discussion was ended by Col.Lucke raising the point that it was not a question for the mining association, bub was between Mr.\u2018Watters and the government.This ended the matter.Epps\u2019s Cocoa\u2014Grateful and

COSTUMERS.Sult Against a Bankrupt Milliner\u2014Clothes as an Advertisement.London Telegraph: Curious lights have bsen thrown on the professinoal operations of a certain class of milliners in Paris by a trial now in progress here, writes a Paris correspondent.The defendant is an ex-danseuse of the opera aad the complainant is the Jandlord of a ounce noted but now bankrupt rou- turiere establishment.Some months nxo the defendant was surprised to receive a bill for £275 from the complainant for dresses supplied by the baukrupt milliner.The drefendant protested ener- gietically, and the other said that he , would insist upon payment of the hill which was Landed to him by tor and tenant as an asset.The ex-dausvuse roplied that she owed absolutely nothing to the milliner, Whose dresses she had worn as an adver- tisment for the firm.The Judge of the Tribunal of the S-ine, to whom the case was submitted, called several witnesses, \u2018the first being an actress of the Comedie Francaise.This tady, who was ungallantly obliged to acknowledge ber 88 years by an in.xoruble registrar, said that the bankrupt milliner had for a long time bother:d her with offers to dress her from top to tox \u2018free, gratie, and for nothing.\u201d For many months the artiste dramatiqus refused to avail kerseif of th eo offers, as she bad heard something about ths milk- aer which did not satisfy her as to the straightiorwarduess of the Intt.r\u2019s dealings.Actinz on the advice of another ne- tress, witness resolved to accede to the williner's reguest on written terms and on payment of a nominul sum for dress.s supplied.Witness th n ordered a gai- ment, out it did not fit her, so she sent it back and had no more dealings with the vuilliner.She had frequently seen the defendant in the place of the 2ou- turiere, and on on: occasion she noticed that the former wore a badly fitting dress made by the firm.An assistant snleswoman was next called, and deposed that she had often heard the milliner say that the defendant was dressed a titre de reciame\u2014that is to say, on the \u201cadvertisement arrange ment.\u201d Tt was understood, however, that the ex-danseuse was to introduce busi- gess to the firm, as sh: had many lady friends in artistic circles.Of four dresses supplied in this manner three were miserable misfits.and were taken back and sold.The ex-danscuse only kept a dress en peluche with fur trimmings, and sven for this she oifered to reimburse the milliner by paying £20 for a teliphon service which the rarment builder badly required.Other ladies were suppl.d with dresses in the sume way, and all paid some moucy.À saleswomau employed by the greatest dress coustructor on record was called and corroborated the statements of the last witsess to a considerable extent.À literary man with a cosmopolilan- sounding name deposed, as the friend of the ex-dauseuse, that she was dressed gratis by the couturiere and only kept one garment.A Russian countess likewise rave cvidence, and then a French Count, who knew the cx-danseuse well.Their depositions wore wuch the same as those of the other witnesses.The hearing\u2014or, rather, the resumption of the case was conducted amid considerable laughter,, and the points invoiv- ed have somehow seemed so complicated that another adjournment ways ordered.his credi- SHE HERSELF HAS SAID IT, Mrs.James Brown Potter Discourses on New York Society.\u201c\u2018But, you know, I have never been a society woman, a genuine society woman.The woman who makes her way in society by her wits or her face, or whatever charm she has, isn\u2019t a society woman.The society woman is the woman who holds a position in the social world through her family or her fortune or her husband, which doesn\u2019t depend on any one\u2019s favor \u2014the woman who is a power because of what she can do in the way of entertaining, gathering people around her, the woman who can have a salon.I was never such a one,\u201d said

living and am independent.I needn\u2019t go to any one to beg $3 or 5 cents when I want to spend money, and when my money is spent I need account for it to one but myself.I have seen more of of the world than I would ever have seen had I not gone on the stage, and that has been a delight and an education that I can not describe.I have friends all around the world\u2014gennine friends\u2014in

the same, has come across much instructive data that will be made public in the Columbian Exposition reports.All of the committee's findings go to prove how widely every business channel is open to the sex, and, as never before, success or failure is dependent upon the individual worker.Eloquent proof of this is furnished in the case of a retired actress who, no longer able to practice her art behind the footlights, found it necessary to hunt up some means of earning a livelihood.A dramatic agency was suggested.She adopted the idea, but with any misgivings, in view of the sharp competition to be faced.This was four years ago, and to-day she tells proudly of a steady income of six thousand dollars realized from her business.Since the beginning she has paid sixteen thousand in cash payments on a pretty home in Harlem, has heen enabled to remove her daughter from the boards where she performed as a child actress, and gave her every possible advantage.The courageous and clever lady is the mother of Bijou Fernandez; and, in aadi- tion to ler agency, makes a specialty of preparing children for their parts.Her own little daughter is being grounded in the solid branches of learning, and, at the same time, taught every polite accomplishment, even to riding a charming pony on Riverside Drive every afternoon, Mrs.Fernandez says there is nothing to hold any woman back from fortune except a personal inability to cope with men already established in trade or.art.She says it has required the hardest kind of work and unremitting application, and that six days out of every week she labors early and late in pursuit of money.In this connection she is sure it is better for women workers to have a semi-rural home, as she has, 80 that in the morning they put all domestic possibilities away and not think of them till office duties are done.Thns, they are able to follow the fashion of men, and prevent conflict between these two sides of their lives.Novelties in Celluloid.Celluloid has become a popular and desirable material for use in decorative work.It is manufactured in sheets of various colors and thickness and in combination with plush, velvet, and satin

mixed with turpentine will dry with satisfactory results.The sheets that are as thin as paper and semi-.ransparent must be very carefully tinted, but the medium may be decorated by an amateur at the

of a policy of which, simce the establishment of the National Policy, it has always heard something from the Liberal party and of Iwhich, during the last fow meaths, it has heard a groat deal.Such a demand has \"been made by the American peapie during the last four years and in the presidential campaign that has just come to an end, the Democratic party has been able Îto make such explanations of the policy kes have satisfied a great majority of the | Ameriean people of its ability to carry it Hnto effect.In those four years there has been conducted by the Democratic \u2018party perhaps the most notable \u2018campaign of education that the history of economics has ever recorded, For the \u2018base of the principle of protection, so sm end the divine right of r the supremaoy of the nasty, the robber barons r the sons of the Conqueror lantagenet successors always to dread, enjoyed such a mea- security from each other's depred- is nothing but the maintenance of bal authority could have afforded { In Like manner the might of the las protected their followers from the agery of the Merrie England of that .Ib was easy for the privileged ses, under such conditions, to establish e doctrine that they were public bene- Es and the privileged classes of every uccessive generation and age have dan- igled the phantom of a certain present advantage before the eyes of those whose diborties they have filohed.: The chimera of protection is the most anodern and certainly not she least pernicious evolution of thisanoiant principle.\"The protection of the markets of the eountryfrom the inreadsof alien commerce end the nurture of the infant industries of the country are not, on their face, the least desirable functions of National Government.They encourage the artizan to look for an immediate incresss in (wages and to rejoice in security frem the competition of foreign lsbor.The farmer is told that le can sell his produots in markets in which values have not been depreciated by the influx of foreign goods.And for a season such arguments have blinded the artizan in Canada and the United States, which are the only two protected countries in the world in witich wages run higher than in free trade England, to the fact that those ligher wages are dependent not upon fiscal policies, but on the fact that these are new countries, and not subject to the financial stringencies of older lands.Such ar:uinents have, for a season, blinded the artizun to the fact that this increase in his wage docs not offset the increase in the cast of his living.It is hard to imagine how the farmer can ever have seen good in a restricted market, but such good as he may have seen has clearly blinded him to its utter inability to com- peusate him for the loss which he sus- uins by reason of the imposts upon the are necessaries of his life.+ WL uv Ï rotection has not yet lost all its iquds.Many of the men who have cd most by it still cleave to it y.Its principle has been utterly demaffshed by every sound argument within the range of political economy.But the illusion which calls for the encour- agemeskt of infant industries of the state is still cherished by good, albeit mis- guicied men, and until the principle of pro:ection shall have fallen from the respectable status of a debatable question to the open abhorrence in which should be hell every atowel attempt at the establisliment dN tenance of a privileged class, the Quty of tariff reformers is unfinished.It is the aim of riff reformers to show that the basic principle of protection, of which we hear 80 much nowadays, is the establishment of just such a class, If the National Policy, if any tariff imposed to meet the actual noeds of the people, bore equally upon all classes ; if the taxing of the working classes were an evil which those classes shared in common with the well-to-do, and all others; if no part of the public revenues derived from thetariff were diverted from the legitimate purposes of administration and poured into the coffers of a privileged and proteoted class, the tariff would show no cause for complaint.It is the aim of the Liberals and tariff reform- ors of Canada to establish such a measure, but in such an attempt they must have the support of an overwhelming majority of the electorate.A simple majority will not suffice.Canada isa Liberal country, as the supremacy of the Liberals on the equitably prepared voters\u2019 lists of the provinces shows.Dut to win a victory on the Dominion lists and in face of the unblushing corruption of the Conservative Government an enormous natural majority in the country is necessary.This natural majority exists, and the Liberals and other tariff reformers have to discover the best means of bringing it out.First of all, the policy of tariff reform and trade extension must be clearly stated, and, second, a vigorous campaign must be conducted in the constituencies.It is with a view to these two ends that The Herald has been so earnest in its advocacy of a party convention.The Liberal party is able and The Herald believes that it is willing to make an accurate definition of a policy which shall not only adjust tho present tariff to meet the demands of those who believe that a tariff should exist for purposes of revenue only, but which shall bring into the fold of the party all of those thousands of voters who for just cause have decided to cast no further votes for the present Government, but have not yet thrown in their lot with its opponents.To this end, and for the preparation of an efficient scheme of local organization for the promulgation of the views of the party, a Liberal convention showd be held in the near future.Bazing.Inasmuch as the word is not found in the copy of Webster's Unabridged that lies at our left hand, it may not be out of place to define it as a college term covering the treatment administered to students, who come to an institution of learning, by self-constituted \u2018\u2018 justices.\u201d The system of \u2018\u2018hazing\u2019\u2019 has been in existence for centuries.The ceremonies appertaining to it are said to have had their origin in the University of Paris, to have spread through the universities of Ger many during the middle ages, thence to the Northern universities.And as seats of learning became established in the Western World the good and bad belonging to hazing were taken to trans-Aslentic quarters.The University of Upsala, inSweden, is one of the old European institutions of learning.Both professors and students here have taken a hand in initiating and applying a plan of subjection to the raw and bumptious reoruits.These novi homines were introduced to the symbolic eeremony known in the Latin tongue as \u201c Depositis\u201d\u201d or * Taking down.\u201d Novices, or Beani, so celled from a corruption of the French for the yellow beaked type of the newly- hatched gesling, were tricked out in ridiculous costumes of all colors, ab- surdse vestes, surmounted with a hat to correspond with the vestments, all of which were intended te tell of the igner- ance and primitive rudeness of the compulsorily attired.In fantastic garb the \u201cdepositor\u201d with rod in hand dreve the huddled herd into a great hall which contained, for the occasion, an audience often patronized by royalty.Amongthe firat proceedings was the \u2018\u2019vexatio\u2019\u2019 in which the freshman was put through the form of polishing and improving by the \u2018\u2018de- pesitor,\u201d who usually bore with him for his work a hatchet, a plane, a file, a razor, pincers and shears.These were used as the occasion demanded, grotesque questions being asked throughout the proceedings and the audience bursting its sides with laughter.After the requisite amount ef rubbing and erasing had been attended to the final work was the placing of a few grains of salt upon the tongue of the treated, and a few drops of wine on his head.Counsels and explanations were given and these were followed by the perfected salutation, \u2018a proboso no- mine beanorum absoluti, pulcherrimo honestissimo «ue vocabulo salvete, stu- diosi\u201d\u2014\u201c\u2018freed from theignominious name of yellow beaks, Beani, I salute you by the great and glorious name of students.\u201d Luther, the great Reformer, is said to have taken the place of \u2018\u201cdepositor\u201d in his student days and to have composed the following lines, the transaction of which may form a simple exercise for the classically inclined of our readers, and sung then at a \u2018\u2018 depositio \u201d : Lignum fricamus horridum Crassum dolamus rusticum Curvum quod est, hoc flactimug Altum quod est, deponimus.Beanus iste sordidus Spectandus altio cornibus, Ut sit novus scholasticus Providerit de sumptibust To write not further of the hazing scenes of other days in Europe, but to refer to more modern times, hazing became a recognized institution in the universities of the new world.And until within the last few years reports of ex- cessiveness in the system have emanated from the leading universities.Quiet Prineeton was the scene of a hazing altercation in 1878 that brought into requisi- ; : : 4 ; Canadians have been in the habit of tion scissors and pistols and other Julien, famous for his clever, neat and deeming themselves past masters of the weapons.Sophomores and freshmen correct figure drawing, produces a the glorious art of figure skating, but disgraced the town, and institu- cartoon occasionally, but caricaturing

nlarir heillingt -\u2014 \u2014 pr A iil EN.A.eve pe eventful night.The faculty amd government of the collage took the matter in hand, and the result was the administering of severe punishment to the offenders and the adoption of stringent regulations, with a view to the prevention of such hazing scenes in the future, The seniors and juniors of the college combined in supporb of the authorities, and since that time no bad tidings have come from the New Jersey seat of learning.More recently at Lake Forest.as the president of the college was entertaining the freshmen class, the sophomores planned a gigantio project for undoing things generally in the rooms and among the belongings of the younger companions.Havoc was the outcome of the project.The authorities hore again intervened.Public sentiment, supported by the judgment of professors, seniors and juniors, marked the disgraceful scene as ths point from which Lake Forest hazing began to decline.From Harvard and Cornell, in the United States, and, on a smaller scale, from Canadian institutions, reckless Spirits have led others into hazing scenes that have cast disoredit upon the college, have helped to lessen the number of students in after sessions, and have sulliod the name vf not a few perpetrators.But looking over the college world to-day, it is evident that a check has beon given to hazing by public sentiment, and that the institutions of learning both in the East and West are in practical combine against its existence as a principle in college life.While these things are it cannot be denied that to the older students is accorded a liberty and license which takes in hand an inflited newcomer for the latter's good and the common weal.There isa student jurisdiction far away on this side of the unjustifiable and the excessive that exerts a mild, tempering, and salutary influence.College is the place where, asa rule, the youth finds hislevel.But towards the discovery are extravagances requiring to be dealt with by clear voice and somebody\u2019s firm hand.On short acquaintance there is a tendency on the part of some to lord it over those who are their superiors.That large load of inherited or aocumu- lated conceit has been lightened for many a youth by the judicious application of something less strong than hazing.Call that by whatsoever name this or that institution may give it, it is not objectionable if it produces tho decorum that should mark the several successive stages in the college course.Canadian Caricaturists: Many have watched with keen interest the career of Canada\u2019s solitary comio weekly since the retirement of Bengough from its staff, and were no doubt not a little surprised at the admirable character as well as finished style of some of the cartoons that have since appeared, from the pens of Sam Hunter, A.G.Racey and others who have come to the front within the past year or so.Art can never be in this country and in this time what it was in the days when the medseval painters of Italy consecrated their lives to it with a more than hal- religious devotion, and as art in early days had to struggle against the hardships of pioneer life, it must now that those hardships are past, contend against the business spirit, the political excitement, and other alien interests of these later times., The history of modern caricature in Canada dates but a few years back, and it can safely be said to start in earnest with Bengough.He is one of those self- taught geniuses that have marked artistic eras, just as they have revolutionized other branches of lifo and industry, and ke has a thorough knowledge of the country\u2019s politics.He isa good lecturer, as we all know, but it is as a cartoonist that he will be remembered, and, indeed, his unique gift of caricature has overshadowed his many other talents.Toronto has now another gifted young cartoonist in Sam Hunter, who like A.G.Racey, of Montreal, has lately come to the front and is rapidly becoming well known throughout Canada.Hunter's work is characterized by tho spirit and variety of his handling, and his high artistic genius in this primitive country has much to battle against.His taste for drawing is innate, and it is reasonable to expect him soon to reach still loftier artistic heights.A.G.Racey was born in Quebec, and the Quebec Morning Chronicle in speaking of him says : \u2018\u201c Mr.Racey\u2019s friends will readily romember the ekill and facility with which he drew their portraits and produced carricatures of the masters of the High School when a boy.He is now turning his peculiar talent to good account in Montreal, and ought to make his mark as an artist.\u201d His short career in Montreal of three or four years has hitherto been one of constant advancement.He has artistic judgment, keen facilities of observation, and surprising skill and power in rendering what he has seen and felt.Illustration and caricature are not, indeed, the loftiest flight of art.It is perhaps because the element of utility enters them more largely, because they are nearer the earth and more understandable to the people, that they have appealed more forcibly to this eminently practical generation and nation, and are, too, less in conflict with the tendencies that have hindered our artistic development.Were it not for the sad fact that encounters the ambitious artist of this country\u2014the lack of material encourage- ment\u2014he would probably extend by painting in oi] the reputation he has won and is winning in black and white.Sam Jones, of Toronto, whose quaint humorous productions amuse all.There are in additiou many young illustrators ; and artist sin Canada who are doing and have done work of merit.An American Constitutional Reform.A revolutionary proposal is made to the American people by the Philadelphia Times.It is that the President be elected by the popular vote of the whole | United States.At present the President is chosen by the electoral college, in which each state in represented by as many electors as it has Congressmen and Senators.Each state has the power to determine its ow® method of choosing olectors ; and early in the history of the Republic there were modes of election.In somes states electors were appointed by the Legislature ; in others they were chosen by the congressional districts, while again the clectors were in many slates chosen by the state- at-large by popular vote.The latter system prevailed, and is now in vogue in every state of the Union save Michigan, - Ld which two years ago resumed the practice of having electors chosen by the Congressional districts.The electing of clectors by the state-at- largo has had the result of not dividing the vote of each State.In 1884, for instance, where there was but a bare dif- feronce of some 1200 votes betweenthe Democrats and the Republicans.New York\u2019s 36 electoral votes went solidly for Grover Cleveland.South of Mason and Dixon's line, though there are many Republicans, there has never been, since reconstruction days, an electoral vote cast for a Republican Presidential candidate.This method of voting emphasizes the independent existence of each State.Each member of the American federation expresses its preferences for President; and the candidate favored by a majority of the States wins irrespective of whether or not, the popular majority is with him.Thus it has not unfrequently happened that candidates who received but a miro- rity of popularity votes obtained a majority of electoral votes.In 1860 Abraham Lincoln captured a majority of the States, but ran hundreds of thousands of votes behind Stephen A.Douglas.In 1876, S.J.Tilden, who did not get the Presidency, received 250,000 more votes than did his successful rival.In 1888, Grover Cleveland was defeated though he had a popular majority of 100,000.The adoption of The Times\u2019 proposition would mark the final extinction of the old idea of the union being merely a confederacy of independent nations.John C.Callioun once, in a speech in the American Senate, combatted the idea that the United States was a nation.This view of the rights of the States was badly shattered during the civil war and has been losing ground ever since.If now the people of the United States should decide to choose their executive by popular vote, ignoring State boundaries, it would give the death-blow to the doctrine of Calhoun.It is so radical an innovation that it is certain to be strongly and at first successfully opposed by those who venËrate the present constitution of the United States as the perfection of human wisdom ; but is certain to win ultimately because it is simpler and juster than the present method, and would result in presidential campsigns being conducted on a higher plane than at present.ax WE HAVE HEARD of commercial reciprocity, unrestricted union and several other variations of the status quo, but there is something fresh about the Ottawa OCitizen\u2019s editorial on \u201c\u2018 Independence Federation.\u201d In the language of a bewildered electorate, \u2018\u201c Where am Tat?WHAT ABOUT that tunnel, J.J.?POLITICAL NOTES.Mr.G.V.McInerney, the new member from Kent, N.B., Las been six times defeated in local and federal contests.He is a son of the late Hom.Mr.McInerney, legislative councillor, who gave him the advantage of a good education.The new member is perhaps 35 years of age, has had twelve years standing at the bar, and tis considered one of the finest platform wpeakers in that section of the country.TUpdtil about a year ago he claimed to be a Liberal, but in this election ran ms an independent Conservative.The regular Conservative candidate, Bagil Johnson, stood at the foot of the race; Judging from a.published interview, Mr, Michael Adams, M.P., of Northum- berland, N.B., propoges in the future to be even more independent than in the past.He was responsible for Mc.Inerney\u2019s candidacy in Kent, N.B., where the regular Conservative candidate was badly beaten.Being asked about the government, Mr.Adams said he was strongly against %he introduction of the English principle being established in Canada, and \u2018the establishment of the three new offices.The American system of government, he said, can only afford eight men to govern gixty-five millions, It is %roublesome to & sensible man to find that not quite five millions require a cabinet of fourteen.We should become less English; in other words, become Americanized or Canadianized.The introduction of dilapidated Englishmen to \u2018public positions in Canada should cease, and recognition be given to the sturdy Canadians.He says the maritime provinges, particularly New Brunswick, can be considered as the beggar ground of tramps.As a resume of the situation the representation of the lower provinces, comprising Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward\u2019s Island, must abandon their political faith and seek protection for themselves.The position of New Brunswick to-day demands that allegiance to party be set aside as against our actcal loss.J.D.Eugar, M.P.speaking nt a meeting of the

and continuous one footed movements, which in Canada and Sweden are held up to beginners as re presenting the acme of perfection and the highest standard to which their efforts #hould be directed.It is not, however, our int:ntiom to unnecessarily disparage those fantastic movements, On the contrary, we degire to express our admiration of the marvellous ekill flisplayed in their exccution; nay, we have often envied the remarkable power and complete command of edge shown by Experts in this pceuliar school of of skating\u2014a power and command only to be acquired after long and Persoveriug

Publications.There reached The Herald office a short time since a box irom Loudon, Eng., containing samples ol the Christmas cards issued this year by Raphael Tuck and Sons, the eminent art publishers.This collection this year is larger and even better \u2018than in past years; and searchers for a tasteful gift for friends at Christmas will find plenty of scope for excrcising their diserimination.So marked has been the increase in the public demand for these publications and ro greät has been their artistic development that Messrs.Tuck and Sons in their handsome circular, in itself a work of art, say that the present is the \u201cGolden Age of Christmas Cards.\u201d The coloring of the designs of 1892 is partic- To tha mertest enlgr work have been added bronzes o fevery hue, produced by the employment of precious metals, The designs for this season exceed one thousand in number.They range from the cheap and pretty card, with its Christmas illustration and appropriate verse or motto, to the elaborate boxed art publications.It would be impossible tp adequately describe all the varieties, but some of the more notabls publications may be referred to.Among the calendars is one, \u201cA Year's Sunshine,\u201d xvhich has silver rings and a chain for hanging.On each of twelve pages is 0 beautifully drawn and warmly colored picture, & nent calendar for the month, and a poetical Quotation appropriate to the mouth.No room could need & handsomer ornament.This is one of a series of over twelve similar calendars.\u201cToward the Light\u201d shows on the cover two white-robed children singing from an open music book with upturned faces, It has & verse for every day in the month and is illustrated with illuminated letters and beautifully accurate paintings of flowers and birds.The natural colors are reproduced with marvellous fidelity.This is intended for the young.\u201cMeadow Sweet\u201d has an embossed cover cut out showing birds sitting on a gate.Tt illustrates springtime poems by Longfellow, Bryant, and Cowper; English landscapes, English fruits and English birds are the subjects for the fl- lustrations, \u201c0, Come all ye Faithful\u201d is an illustration by Charles Noakes of the well- known hymn.It has & cut out cover representing a church window with a view of the moonlit seas beyond.\u201cWayside Blossoms\u201d is an artistio gem.[ts cover is printed in the most beautiful graduating tints.It represents a girl clad in a flowing robe nf green aud white picking blossoms from an apple trce.The figure of the girl, the grass beneath her feet and the blossoms are embossed.This pretty booklet contains two poems, \u201cThe Wintry Lassie,\u201d and wordsworth\u2019s \u201cThe Gresn Linnot.\u201d The illustrations are by Marcus Stone, English wild flowers adorn every page, and the English Hnnet is perched beside its nest and looks as though it was about to sing.Embossed pansies on a background of cream white adorn the cover of \u2018\u2018A Chaplet of Pearls,\u201d This is a series of bible texts illustrated by Charles Noakes.\u201cAmongst the Fairies\u201d is beautifully illustrated in tolor and monochrome.Cute little fairies adorn every page and peep between the lines of poetry.There are almost mumberless designs of the \u201cPrivates Autograph Card Book,\u201d 8ix nicely printed cards, each with an embossed illustration and a blank for the writing of a message of good will are put up in a box with six envelopes Two new series of cards\u2014one the golden Rococo, the other the Wateau\u2014appear in this year's display.Both are certain to become popular.The designs and the coloring are modelled on the productions of fhe French painters of the Watteau period.There is wonderful variety shown in the details of illustrations.By resorting to all the devices of stamping, enameling, icing, using tinted ground ribbons and bows, there is no suggestion of sameness in any of the cards or booklets.One of the most charming of the Watteau series is the Watteau minuet screen, This is a four-fold screen for the table, with calendar and quota tions printed in gold at the back.Four exquisite colored figure drawings of winuet dancere by Frances Brundage, adorn the screen, the border of which is embossed and gilded in the Rococo style of art.\u201cOur Armor Every Day\u201d iv à collection of texts and poems for devotional use every day.Angel faces, wreaths of pansies, violets, and of honeysuckle are among the illustrations.Messrs.Raphael Tuck ard Sons have certainly this year eclipsed themselves.Never before did they display such variety in design and such excellence in execution.1 PUBLIC NOTICE.PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that sp u- ation will be

by those interested in snowshoeing amongst our French-Canadian young men, which resulted in the formation of a club under the title of \u2018Le Canadien Snowshoe Club,\u201d with the following officers for the current year : President\u2014C.Pregent.Secretary\u2014Jos.Gauthier.Treasurer\u2014 A.Daoust.Committee of Management -\u2014Jos, Pregent, Geo.Chatrand, Narcisse Laberge.AQUATICS, Aluminum Racing Shells.Philadelphia, Dec.9.\u2014Daniel J.Gala- naugh, the Philadelphia boat builder, is constructing the firet eight-oar.d racing shell ever built from aluminum wetal, It in intended for the use of the Cornell College crew, .and will be finished the latter part of March.Gala- maugh is the first boat builder to experiment with aluminum in the construction of racing shells.lIis first effort was on à singlo seull shell for ths use of George W.Statzell, commodore of the Bchuylkill Navy, and ex-champion single sculler of the Schuylkill River.It proved to be a very strong boat, and some four pounds lighter than thos: constructed from any other material hitherto used.Tho shell was loaned to An oarsminn who was entered at the Newark, N.J., regatta, and there Charles E.Courtney, the Cornell trainer, saw it.He was much taken with the new style of shell, and urged its adoption so strongly and so persistently that the Cornell boating authorities finally appointed & committee to go to Philadel- puia and interview the maker.Gala- naugh felt so positive that he could build & shell at least ten soconds faster then one constructed of either paper or cedur, that -he agreed to take te risk of building an eight at his own éxp.nse, and if it does not prove ten seconds faster than any other sholl the crew can Bet they need not take it.The kewl and gunwale are now laid iv his shop on the banks of the Schuyt- kill.The boat will be 62 feat in length over all, 23 inches bam amidships, 8 3-4 inches deep amidships, 6 1-2 inches deep forward, and 51-2 inches decp aft.The shell will be composed entirely of aluminum, with the exception of the wash box, which will be of wood, and the outriggers, which are to bo of steel tubing, cold drawn, Tho shell will weigh 175 pounds all told.Ordinary paper and cedar shells weigh about 223 pounds, and fWaters, the famous shell builder of Troy, N.Y., claims that a 200 pound eight-oared shell is an exceedingly light one.The aluminum shell will be built in two pieces, being divided fore and aft and then joined together amidships.It is designed to carry an average weight of 173 pounds per man.: The aluminum from which this sheil is being made is one-twentieth of an fnch thick, and weighs about seven ounces to the square foot.Galanaugh's the completion of the boat by the latter part of March, when the Cornell crew will come to Philadelphia to try the shell on the Bohuylkill.It it is satisfactory Gala- naugh will receive $500.The fact of Cornell ordering this shell has caused considerable comment in college boating circles, and Harvard intends having one as soon as possible.A humber of oarsmen from that college visited Philadelphia last Saturday, the result of which was the ordering of an aluminum shell for the Harvard crew, \u2018 \u2018 Men Who Will Build Yachts to Dafend the American Cup.New York, Des.9.\u2014The following notice was sent to all ths members of the New York Yacht Club yesterday: A special meeting of the club will be held at the club house Tuesday, Doc.13, at 8.80 p.m.to consider à challenge from the Royal Yacht Squadron, on be- hall of the Earl of Dunraven, for th: America\u2019s Cup.Although some of the members of the New York Yacht Club have raised objections to the wording of the challenge, cvery one seen yesterday was of the opinion that there would bs a race next year for the America\u2019s Cup, and there wae cousiderable talk about what new vessels would be built to defend the cup.It was regarded as certain that two Now York boats and two Boston boats would be placed at the service of the club to race againyt the Valkyrie.1f there are only four new boats built next season, the competition in the 85-foot class will be very keen, but many yachtemen seom to think that there will be many more than four new boats built.One prominent yachtsman who ought to know what he is talking about, said that instead of Gen.Paiue and J.Malcolm Forbes forming part ¢f a Boston syndicate, thes: two gentlemen would cach have a boat.Gen.Paine is said to have announced that he will build & boat with his son John, and Mr.Forbes is to head a syndicats composed of membors of the Eastern Yacht Club.If the Eastern men build & boat, Henry Bryant, who designed the mchooner Alert, is fooked upon as the man who will draw the plans fer the new yacht.While it is gencrally regardsd as cer tain that Commodore E: .D.Morgan will build a boat, it is not certain that Uerreshofi will furnish the new craft.Some yachtsmen say that Mr.Morgan is Very much dissatisfied with Horres- hoff, while others affirm just as positively that Mr.Morgan has an arrangs- ment with the Bristol boat build rv, and that they are to furnish him a now craft this year embodying all their latest work:d-out plans and id-as.It is by no means certain that Mr.Carroll's yacht now building nt Uvr- reshoïf\u2019s will be at th» disposal of th: New York Yacht Club next scason.Mr.Carroll is eaid to have announced positively that he is roing to England n.xt year with his yacht to race in the regattas thore, aud to try to bring back the Cape May and Brnton\u2019s Reef cups that were takn to England by Sir Richard Suttou's cutter Gen-sta.1f Mr.Carroll goes to England, yachting is lik:- ly to be quite as interesting there as it is in this country.George Watson, in addition to buildine tha Valle \u2018the ocean in January.has on hand two large cutters, on: for the Prince of Walls and the other for the Emperor of Germany.The Emperor of Germany, too, has offer.d a valuable trophy for yachts of all nations that is to be raced for off Cowes.IN THE CIVIL COURTS.Action Against the G.T.R.\u2014Hotel-Keepers Ap- peal\u2014Reminiseence of the St.John Fire.The widow of the late Louis Monet has brought action against the G.F.R.for $10,- 000.Plaintiff alleges that her husband, while in the employ of the company as brakeman, was riding on the roof of a freight car, and while passing under a bridge was struck by parts of the bridge projecting and killed.She claims that the bridge was lower than it should have been.In the Practice court yesterday evidenc was heard before Judge Tait in the case 0 the hotelkeepers, who are contesting th right of the Collector of Provincial Revenue to impose upen them a tux of $600.Their point is that while their rent is over $400, this amount includes the price for their dwelling as well, while the proportion of rental for the hotel proper is such as to entitled them to a smaller Government tax.Yesterday morning, in the case of Chausse against tho city of Montreal, a motion wae brought up in the Practice Court.Defendants filed their plea in answer to plaintif\u2019s action for $10,000, the amount voted to the St.John\u2019s sufferers.Delendants plead that they did not exceed their powers, and further, that the resolution granting the $10,- 000 contained a proviso that same was subject to confirmation by the Legislature.© f Mining Association Banquet.A banquet was held in the Vienna Cafe last evening to do honor to Mr.Circkel, M.E., general manager of the Templeton Asbestes Company, who is about to leave for a visit to his native land, Germany.Mr.A.W.Stevenson, treasurer of the Quebec Mining Association, occupied the chair, and there were present His Honor Judge Dugas, Mr.J.N.Greenshields, Q.C., Col.Lucke (Sherbrooke), R.Gardner, J.Burley Smith, W.A.Allan (Ottawa), J.Lain- son Willis (Ottawa), F.P.Baron, R.Bond, Hector McRae (Ottawa), G.R.Smith, A.Merrill, L A.Klein.W.Bell (Toronto), J.J.Penhole, B.T.A.Bell (Ottawa), C.W.Morgan (Toronto), and 8.P.Franchot (Buckingham).The usual loyal toasts were honored, and then the guest of the evening, Mr.Circkel, was given an ovation, which was shared by Mr.Klein, who is to follow him across Many speeclies expressive of good-will for the guests of the evening were made.Judge Dugas made a happy response to the toast of \u201cThe Law,\u201d but the speech of the evening was undoubtedly made by Mr.J.N.Greenshieids, whose declaration that it was the duty of the governments and parliaments of the country to encourage the development of natural resourcestouched a responsive chord, and was rewarded by a hearty cheer.But his reference to the waste of public money, which could have done so much good to the country, was as well received, and at the conclusion of his speech the popular Queen\u2019s Counsel and miner was given three times three.\u201d It was a pleasant occasion, and many will hope will result in benefit to the mines and minerals of this province.DOWN ON CLARKE WALLACE.Le Monde Ohjects to Him Because He is an Orangeman.Le Monde is most dissatisfied at the elevation of Mr.Clarke Wallace to a place in the Government, and devotes a whole column to condemnation of his promotion.It recalls Major Sam Hughes\u2019 political mission to the Maritime provinces, and adds: \u201cOn the return of Sam Hughes we have learned that the Orangists had no antipathy to Sir John Thompson, At the same time the name of Clarke Wallace was put amongst those who had a chance of promotion, and there he hasarrived, despite the merits of Dr.Montague, and despite of the threats of the powerful Peter White.What are we to conclude from all these facts, if not that Sir John Thompson has had his hand forced, that he lias not been able to appease the Yellow Boys by taking as a colleague one of the warmest of agitators?* * * We are not able to view without sadness, that in this end of a century of high civilization the sole fact of being an agitator, a fomenter of religions and national discords, an Orangeman to the highest degree, should give a title to sit in the executive of the nation.If Mr.Wallace was a very brilliant man, capable, indispensable ; if he had the undeniable business methods of Mr.Bowell, or the deep science of Mr.Meredith, we could understand why Sir John Thompson, in search of powerful colleagues, could not have deprived himself of his services,\u201d THOMAS LIGGET.CARPETS Please the most Fastidious Purchasers, THOMAS LIGGET selects his Carpets from the most renowned

Dr.W.C.Albertson has the honor of introducing a new method in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis.He speaks of the Antiseptic and penetrating qualities of smoke, claims that it docs no harm to the most delicate mucous membrane, and recommends it as an efficient agent in bacillar phthisis.He takes beechwood sawdust, mixes it with some harmless guick-burning substance (tobacco?) and directs his atients to smoke it in an ordinary clay pipe The treatment is continued from two six months.Improvement is manifest after two or three weeks.At first the smoking causes cough, with inercase of power to eject sputa.Both cough and expectoration thea decrease until they cease.The weight increases.The temperature soon falls, but the pulse remains rapid to the last.At first the smoking is continued for but a few 7 minutes, but the time is increased to forty minutes, and the smoking repeated two or three times a day.Eucalyptol and other drugs could be used on the sawdust.The idea might further be utilized in the treatment of diphtheria.\u2014The Doctor.JAY GOULD, Amerlean Newspapers Tell the Truth About Him.New York Herald\u2014He played the game of life to win, and he reckoned the pos- gible ruin of thousands as a matter with which he had no concern.In strategy he was à geuius, in financial tac- MR he iB without g, peer, ix utter dis.\u201cx IM 25 EU alone, o fell under the érushing e

distinguish + from men who have scquired wealth fthe pursuit of useful ends by honor- do means, must be corrupting and de- bralizing upon \u2018the young men of the ited States.New York Recorder\u2014It will have to be konceded, no doubt, that his character g¢ & whole was not one to be held up for emulation and imitation to the youth of America.There was not enough of human eympathy end philanthropic impulse in it for that.New York Morning Journal\u2014What brain of bteel And tough fibre it was that directed campaign after campaign to victory upoa victory we cau but dimly figure, except by calling it the machinery o! a master mind.It typified Wall street.All the cold calculation that sceks personal gain at any cost, all the power to load the gun, to lay the ambush, to entice tho vis{im to the snares for hig feet, and all the lightning cxecu- tion and rifling of the dead he learned there and applied with a ruthlessness that made %he \u2018\u201c\u2018bravos\u201d of the etreet tura pale at his name.And of the scores of millions heaped up by this greatest \u201coperator\u201d of the present generation, not a dollar has gone to the service of the people in any of the ways in which private wealth may bo expended for the general welfare, Jay Gould is not the type of the rich man whom we Want in this country.He is not, fortunately, \u2018the type of the existing American millionaire.His un- mourned death marks this exception.Boston Herald\u2014There are probably today many thousands of people who are finding the ptrygele for existence a hard end sometimes hopeless one, who have been brought to this unfortunate condition because of the artful manipulations of Jay Gould, by means of which be depressed and gave the pretense of low value to phares in which they had invested, thus frightening them into sell- Ing, or gave to other sharce an equally fictitious exalted value, and by this means induced \u2018them to purchase.And yet these personal afflictions, brought about by his direct instrumeutality, did not count with him in the least be- causa \u2018they were beyoud the ranwe of his immediate vision\u2014when weighed in the scale with his

Doctors\u2014An Interesting Narrative Given to a Post Reporter by the Boy\u2019s Mother and Other Witnesses.Du.ferin Post, Orangeville.The great Edmund Burke once claimed in a moment of sadness and despair that the age of chivalry was gone forever, pnd on every side of us we hear it remarked that the days oi riractles are A part of the dim, superstitious and remantic past.We are not going to enter into & discussion on the nicrits of either statement.Much of the chivalry that we read of had a great deal of the wild and grotesque about it, while not R litile that was attributed to miraculous agencies was the work of men of taleut and genius, wiser and greater than {heir generation, who had explored and comprehended the treasures of Mother Nature within whose bosom is said to be locked a panacea for every ill of {allen flesh.A mews- paper's ¢hici mission is to faithfully and attractively record interesting current events and To make such comments and suggestions us it decms advisable, and it is \u2018this this role the Post is desiring to fill in this article, The neighboring township 61 Mono furnishes an instance of a marvellous cure, which in less enlightened times would undoubtedly have been credited to supernatural iniluence, and which has even in this stern and tical era created & genuine sensation.In a recent \u2018issue we gave the particulars o' f the restoration to physical strength and activity oi George Hewitt, of Mono Mills, through the use of Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills lor Pals People, which are now houschold words on this continent.Many who read the article on Mr.Hewitt might be disposed to doubt, but the least credulous were silenced and convinced by ithe striking evidence of the patient himself, evidence which was corroborated by several reliable persons who had an intimate kuowledge of the facts.The fine banner township of Mono kupplies equally st iking and conclusive testimony of Dr.Williams\u2019 Piuk Pills as an effectual remedy where the physician\u2019 eskill and knowledge have been utterly baffled.Men may bu disposed to be sceptical, and to faucy that much that is said in praise of these pills is mere hyperbole, but it is bard to confront the logic of facts, and in this respect an enduring monument is fast Teing built in support of the uerits and claims of this greatest medical preparation of the century, Mr.Wm.Duke, lot 1, concession 6, Mono, is one of \u2018the best known and respected pioneers of this section.A few weeks ago we heard that his little 12-ycar- old \u2018boy had been snatched from the very jawe of death by Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills, and we determined to fully investigate \u2018the reported cure.Mr.Duke resides about six miles from Orange- ville, and is one of the most prosperous farmers of the banner towuship.When \u2018he ropresentative of the Post called at his quiet and comfortable home, Mr.Duke was at the neighboring threshing but tthe reporter was courteously received by Mrs.Duke.We enquired as to ftho condition of Ernest, the little boy who \u2018wae reported to have heen cured, end were somewhat nonplussed when told ithat be was at school.From our information as to his state of health lest spring, we did not expect to find him able to leave 'the house, and were not prepared for the news that le was \u2018once more strong enough to mix with \u2018the gabbling schoolboy throng.\u201cIs Ernest the little boy that was so sick last winter and spring?\u201d was our next imterrogative.\u201cHe is, indeed,\u201d replied Mrs.Duke, \u201cand to tell you \u2018the truth, we had at one time no hope that he hvould ever again be able to leave his bed.\u201d \u201cTo what do you attribute the boy's raovery 7\u201d \u2018the reporter asked.\u201cOh! to mothing but Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills,\u201d was the ready and emphatic respouse of Mrs.Duke, who is avery intelligent lady, and who then gave the interviewer \u2018the following interesting and well-nigh incredible narrative: \u201cLast winter Ernest had the grippe,and he never meemed to fully recover from the effects of it.In February last, some time after he had \u2018the grippe, he Was wo unwell that we took him to Dr.Bonnar, of Mono Mills, who examined him, and kaid that what was troubling him was a decaying tooth which required to be extracted.He pulled the tooth and paid to take the boy home and he would be all right shortly.Instead of getting better, however, Ernest got far worse, and was soon confined entirely to his bed.He failed in strength and appetite, and was becoming more mervous every day.Sometimes he would got twitching and nervous fits, and shake so hard that he would fright- cn jou.The shaking was so strong that \u2018the whole bed shook with him.We became alarmed and sent for à second doctor who prescribed for the boy, and who gave it as his opinion that his recovery was impossible, At this time Ernest had lost the power of both legs and arms and they had to be tied down to case \u2018the suiferer by lessening the nervous agitation.The second physi- can called in attend:d .the boy some time, but the case was getting so bad, every day becoming more hopeless, thet a third was sent for to consult.This last one said that there was no chance for poor Ernest, and that all the trouble seemed to be in the nerves, I need not tell \u2018vou how grieved we felt over the prospect of losing our boy, and would have \u2018tried anything to save his life.We had been reading in the Post ahont the wonderful cures made by Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills, and often thought of trying them es we were told they would do mo harm if thev did not do any good.Nearly every week we read about miracles wrought by the Pills, aud one day I determined to ask the doctor If we might try them.\u2018Well\u2019 faid he, \u2018the boy can\u2019t get better, and the Pills arc not likely to hasten his end.You can do as you like.\u201d Shortly after we bought a box of the Pills.This was in May last.Little Ernest had not been taking them two weeks when we notice?a wonderful change.We quit the doctors\u2019 medicine altogether, and kept using the Pills only.he \u2018hoy improved so rapidly that in a short time he was able to ba out of bed.One can hardly believe a story like this, but every word of it is true.I tell you there is à wonderful change in our bor and We ouzht to ba thank\u2019ul to the Pink Pills, FErnost is growing stout and wtrong, and this is his first day at schoal.The doctor said he would h» dead before the last Toronto exh'h'tion.hut my Itt} fellow was so well then that he was ahle to be around evd cvon Wrert with his father to the Exhibition, We have been buving the Pills from Mr.Stevenson.one of Orange- ville druggists, and Ernest is still nsine ihem, although mot ço often as at first.it would mot be much out of vour way to call at the school, and there you ex- speak for himself.\u201d Just as Mrs, Duke was concluding her interesting narrative the teacher of the school, Mr.Thomas E.Langiord, who boards at Mr.Duke's entered the house.It was the diuner hour, and the reporter expected that Ernest would turn up, and save him a visit to the school.Ifo was informed, however, that the boy had taken his lunch With him in the morniug and would spend the dinner hour at play.Mr.Lang- ford accompanied the reporter to the roid and on the way the teacher said thet Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills could not be too widely kuown.\u201cI have been boarding all along at Mr.Duke's,\u201d said be, \u201cand I tell you little Ernest was in & bad state last spring.No ome ever thought he would get better, and it secs so strange that he was cured by such à simple remedy.Why, throe doctors pronounced his case hopeless, and yet he is at school to-day! Ha is & right little boy, and the Pink Pills saved his life.\u201d The reporter was full of thought as he hastened to the school to interview the little fellow who may be said to have heard the summons of death, and to have \u2018beer saved from an early grave by Dr.Williams\u2019 wonderful Pink Pills which the teacher had truly described a8 a simple remedy.When we reached the school several children were playing in the yard, and in answer to our call for Ernest Duke a bright little boy started out for the romping throng.We asked him if he was the boy who had Men ko sick, and he answered with a mild and clear \u201cyes.\u201d \u201cArs ' you well, mow?\u201d \u201c0, yes, I'm as well as over again.\u201d \u201cWhat cured you?\u201d \u201cPink Pills!\u201d was the ready and smiling re- spouse, The little fellow did certainly appear to be in the full enjoyment of health, and no one who did not know \u2018the Jacts would think that he had so recently been in such a feeble and precarious condition as to be despaired of by three local physicians of standing and experience.\u2018We shook hands with \u2018the boy and started for Orangeville fully convinced that there was a good deal in the stories we had been reading of miracles wrought through \u2018the use of Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills.The reporter also interviewed several of Mr.Duke's neighbors, and found them all oi one opinion.This was that his son would now Le slecping in the silent churchyard had it no tbeen for the timely us: of Pink Pills.He also learned that many others were using the Hills with gratifying results, while many more had made up their minds since the miraculous saving of young Duke\u2019s life to try th egreat remedy for lesser ailments with which they were troubled.We had anticipated that our mission would De disappointing in some respects, never expesting to have yhe strange story which we had heard of Ernest Duke's recovery so fully substantiated, but here we were returning to Orangeville with everything that was flying rumor before conclusively established pon investigation.WHAT THE DRUGGISTS SAY.On arriving at Orangeville we determined to interview the local druggists as to \u2018the popularity of the remedy that is working such wonders and causing such genuine sensations in many parts of the country, Mr.Thos, Stevenson was the first druggist interviewed.\u201cDo Fou pell many of Dr.Williamg Pink Pills?\u201d we asked Mr.Stevenson.\u201cI should think we did,\u201d was his prompt repiy.\u201cThere is no remedy in my store for which there is such a demand, and while the number we eell is very large, the sale is certainly increasing.\u201d \u201cHow do you account for this large sale?\u201d we asked.\u201cI believe it due entirely to the merite of the {preparation.Those who use Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills report the best re- ¢ults.The remedy is certainly a won- edriul one.When Mr.A.Turner was questioned he {said the sale of Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills was a surprise to himself.In his experience as a druggist no remedy had made such a reputation or produced such wonderiul results.Scarcely a day passed \u2018that he did not hear of pariies who were benefited by the use of Pink Pills.Mr.J.R.Dodds was equally enthu- mastic, \u201cIf you call Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills & patent medicine,\u201d said he, \u201cthey are tho most popular and best selling patent medicine in my store to-day.The sale is undoubtedly on the increase, and I can say that scores who have bought from me are loud im their praises of what Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills have done for them.They are certainly a great remedy, and my experience is that ef- lect all that is claimed for them.\u201d Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills are a perfect blood builder and nerve restorer, curing such diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotot ataxia, St.Vitus\u2019 (dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration and \u2018the tired feeling therefrom, the aîter effects of la grippe, di- scases depending on humors in the blood, such as scroiula, chronic orysi- pelas, etc.Pink Pills give a healthy glow to pale aud sallow complexions, and are a specific for the troubles pe- caliar to the female system, and in the case of \u2018men they effect a radical cure in all cages arising {from mental worry, over-work or excesses of any nature.These Pills ere manufactured by the Dr.Williams\u2019 Medicine Company, Brock- ville, Ont., and Schenectady, N.Y., and are sold only in Doxes bearing the firm's trade ma:k and wrapper, at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50.Bear in mind that Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills are are never gold in bulk, or by the dozen or hundred, and any dealer who offers eub- stitutes in this form is trying to Ce- fraud you pnd should be avoided.The public are @lso cautioned against all other eo-caliod blood builders and nerve tonics, mo matter what name may be given them.hey are all imitations whose makers hope to reap a pecuniary advantage from the wonderful reputation achieved to Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pilla.Ask Your dealer for Dr.Wi- liams\u2019 Pink Pills for Pale People, and refuse all imitations and substitutions.Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr.Willioms\u2019 Medicine Company from either address.The price at which these pills tire sold make a course of fh«fatment comparatively inexpensive as complared with other remedies or medical treatment.Are Rats Clairvoyants ?Are rats clairveyants?It is an old saying that rats desert a sinking ship, but it is a most singular fact that they do not wait until the beat or barge is sinking until they desert it.They appeared to be apprised of the danger several hours before any accident occurs te the vessel.\u201cOne cause came under my observation when I was piloting a tew- boat in the Lower Mississippi,\u201d said an old river captain recently.\u201cWe were coming up stream late one evening when I noticed a horde of rate coming off one of the burges we had to tow.I told some of the members of the crew that we would have bud luck.We went ahead, and just before daylight the barge from which the rats had fod struck a rock and sunk.No damage was done to any part of the shipping.The same phenomenon occurred just before the fatal ire of the steamer Oliver Beirne.On the last day of the boat's career, about two hours before the fire, a drove of rats were seen to run astern over the lower-deck and jump overboard.\u201d FOR SALE | HUTCHINS & BROWN.Prices.An elegant Cut Stone

FURTHER IMPROVEMENT, Cable Was the Most Active Feature in Local Stoeks To-day.Friday, Dec.9, 1802.The improved feeling for local stocks noted in our report of yesterday was accen- tusted to-day with a stronger tone for the whole list, especially marked in Cable and Bank of Montreal.Perhaps it was the strong active market in New York which improved matters here, but at any rate the improvement was very noticeable, and dealings, although not very heavy, wers larger than any other day this week.Cable opening at 179, a full point higher than yesterday's closing, sold up to 1794, closing rather easier at 178%, with sales of 1000 shares.Operators naturally look with favor on a stock which in less than two years pays off $1,200,000 bonds out of their carnings, as well as à regular dividend of 7 percent.Railroad stocks were dull, with Pacifica fraction lower in sympathy with London.The rest of the general list was fairly active sud on the whole stronger.Richelieu was in good demand at 70 against 69 vesterday.Gas kept firm at 224.Strcet Railway was firmer at 239, and Royal Electric steady at 240, In bank stocks Montreal was the feature, selling to 233} or 1} point better than last Right's close.As we stated yesterday the bauk has obtained the new four per cent loan of $1,000,000 of the City of ontreal, the price paid being 982.This will propa- bly be re-sold in rdon.Money is unchanged at & per cent for cail loans.Sales were as follows: MORNING BOARD.100 Pacific 250 Richelieu, 25 Cable.13 Montreal.150 \u201c sé .2% 5 Peoples.25 « 10 Merchants 375 2 Molsons \u201coa 30

iug, and that within a narrow range.Receipts at primary points again large, over 900,00Q bushels.There is a fecl- ing that the Government report to- morrew will report a good condition of growing wheat, and perhups ba of a boarish tone.Clearnnces of 1,200,000 bushels of wheat and flour to-day docs not corroborate the recent Washburn dis- Patch from Liverpool reporting no demand for American wheat or flour.It seems to be pretty generally conceded that the farmers deliveries are becoming much lighter.Upon further inquiry today we find only a small per cent of December wheat in Minneapolis has been delivered.lt would seem that the short sellers up in the Northwest would do well to deliver some of their wheat before making very large sales lor May delivery in this market.We think short scllers very much encouraged in the Hateh bills prospect of passing, by as- suranees from the Washburn crowd to that effect, and thus cnable them in rome way to either repudiate their contracts or cicate a panic and buy them in at a profit.We trust thy \u201cwill be very much mistaken.Corn and oats in gouvd demand.The markat was vather firm ail around.Hog product quite active, but the market was narrow, sometimes being quite difficult to make either & purchase or a sale of pork, lard or ribs.The ten.deney was, howcver, upward, and the market closed at a good advance from yesterday's final figures.Messrs.Lamontagne, Ciarke & Co., have received the following from Messrs.Coun- selman & Day, Chicago, over their private wire: Wheat was dull and steady early, bit became strony on an active

had gained 1-8 to l-4c without the support of any of the leading bull operators.Corn and cat were quiet, but rallied with wheat late in fhe session on moderate local buying.Pork and ribs were fairly active, the features being liberal selling for January by the Cudahy party, and moderate buying for May when the grain markets firmed up.There was a light trade in lard, but the Fairbank bro- kors succeeded in picking up about 3,000 tierces for January, supposed to be for the purpose of replacing part of the lot cold: te Wright at about 810 a few few days ago.Provisions closed a nickel higher

the Same as Last Week.Messrs.Lamontagme, Clurke & Co, Mills Building, New York, furnish the following weekly review of the Chicago makes: Wiwat started oif on Monday morning at about Faturday's closing prices, but alter a little parleying around by scalpers and & small raid or two by the bear siique, the market took an upturn of About haif of ene cent upon good in- Vestment buying, which made the shorts very nsrvous.The vieiblo supply, however, did not contain the necessary news to bring about aay further rise, and from the advance there was a steady sagging under heavy eelling for the Northwestern nfillers and speculators, based \u2018upon the heavy receipts at present toming juto Minneapolis aud Duluth.One Chicago house wired us yesterday that Northwest had probably sold short two bushels for evely bushel in sight.This may be far fetched aud it may be true.Ît is we likely to be as not.People trhen they are im the midst of an inflex of stuff are likely to be carried away with the immediate outlook in the nearby vicinity, never ktopping to consider that they are @& small part of the country.We have mo doubt that the short interest is away up in the millions, and should something happen thot these same bears do not anticipate, what a scramble there would be.It is the history of speculation that \u2018the unexpected occurs.There never was a marker that was away up higher than it ghould be, but what everybody thought it was going still higher and \u2018the unexpected occurred to put it down enough to shake everybody out.There never has been a market that was depressed below cost of production but what everybody was short of it, and expected it to go down to almost nothing, but he unexpected has cach time come along and the poor, deluded bear driven in at the top.We \u2018believe that the statistical position of wheat warrants better prices than are mow prevailing, and althouzh it may be a little slow in coming, we feel certain that it is on the ways The amount ou passage was disappointing to the beans, while the English visible gave them a crumb of comfort.Brad- streets statement on Wednesday showed an increase of only 1,654,000 bushels, which shows that the interior movement ls fact running down to ite normal state.It is asserted on good authority that the visible supply will begin to decrease before the first of January of this year.something it has never done before.Foreign advices are depressing, while they continue to pick up bargain lots whemever They find them.Floods of petitions for and against the anti- option bill have been pouring in upon the United States Senate, and from this it is felieved that action will be deferred until next week.We do not believe the bill Will become a law.Preliminary reports ol this year\u2019s harvest in Prussia indicate a yield of winter wheat equal to 66,000,000 bushels, against 54,000,000 bushels last year.Bulgaria reports a crop of 10,720,000 bush.againgt 10,400,000 bushels last wear.Servia reports a yield ol 11,000,000 bushels, against 9,200,000 Dbushcls last year, The exports of wheat! from Khe Ti 8.since July 1st have teen 87,000,000 bushels, against 104,000,000 bushels last year.The stock of flour in the United States is estimated at 2,500,000 bbls.Corn has ruled weaker this week.caused, perhaps, more by the unloading of a few tired longs, than from any change jn \u2018the actual situation.Reliable reports come representing that the crop is exceedingly disappointing in yield, and that the farmers are not and will not seil any of their crop at these prices, because they can make more money in feeding it to hogs dnd selling the latter at kWix cents per pound, as they are now able to do.We feel friendly toward both corn and oats, and would buy them on decline for the present.The visible supply has begun to decline in corn, and the western stocks should show a faliing off from now on.Protisions continue to be manipulated to the great satisfaction of the clique, but they have probably driven what little trade \u2018there was in them into some other speculative article, and hence, we think \u2018the manipulation will soon be at an end.Beerbohm\u2019s Report, Cargoes off coast, wheat and corn, inactive.Cargoes on passage and for shipment, wheat, red winter, firmly held ; white, very dull ; corn, do.slow ; California wheat, off

PRODUCE.Butter.Trade in the butter market during the past week has kept about steady, and outside of creamery the market has been show: ing a very fuir activity.In strictly fresh lots of dairy a very good demand has been experienced at about 19 to 2le, but in Jower grades there is very little doing, and in order ta sell stock holders lave to shade prices.ln creamery very little is doing mostly owing to the fact that holders are asking figures much above the market.Western roll butter is arciving freely, and in spite of stronger prices a very good demand is passing at about 18% to 20e.The market is moving on about the following basis : Creamery, Sept.Creamery, summer.Towimships dairy, ne a.Morrisburg and Brockville, Y estern dairies, now.Western roll, new.Cheese.The local market for cheese keeps very firm with best quality western held at 10} to lle.Business is rather quiet, but lower grades are moving pretty freely at 10} to 104c.Reports go to show that the stock now in Canada is considerably less than at this time last year, and \u2018asthe English demand keeps good, bigher prices are expecied, The Liverpool cable is unchanged at 53s.s++unesos.23 to BIC Eggs.In eggs the general state of the market is not very bright, and although a fair activity has been expericuced in one or two days of the past week, trade on the whole is rather quict, The quality of western limed is not of the best, and sales of this quality are limited.In Montreal limed a fair trade is passing at about 16 to 17e Good held stock is selling at about 17 to 19e.The market for strictly fresh stock is nob very active, and although offerings are fairly large, they are at figures beyond buyers\u2019 reach.The latest report from New York says that the market is weaker at 29 to 30c., Dressed Poultry.The poultry market during the past two or three days has been very much handicapped by the mild weather, and at present the state of the market is not very healthy.Arrivals are fairly large, but as the condition of the stock is had, the demand has been vory much checked.Owing to the present state of the market it is pretty hard to quote prices, as in most instances when buyers and holders meet the former generally have it pretty much their own way.We quote values as follows: Turkeys, perlb .00% to0 10 Ducks, perib .003 to 0 09 Chickens, per Ib.0 )7 to 0 08 Geese, per db.\u2026 0 01kto

in short cut and mess pork.In other grades of hog products the demand is very slight.The market for dressed hogs is firmer, and small lots of fancy qualities easily bring top figures, which are from

present, the general trade showed a very quiet tendency.In grain, oats especially showed a very fair activity, at about 80c to 85¢ a bag.Peus were scarce, but when offered $1.20 a bug was about the figure.Other grades of the market were very dull and inactive.The vegetable trade was rather quiet and with the exception of potatoes very little activity was voted.The majority of offerings of potatoes were made within the limits of 80c to 80c a bag.Onions were fairly plentiful, but it is doubtful if many sales took place.The celery for sale today was of an inferior quality, and therefore very little inquiry for it has been roported, In fruit trade was very dull, and with the exception of a small business passing for apples and oranges, the market was stagnant, The situation in the poultry market was not very good, and owing to the receipts coming in a very rusatisfuctory condition, sales were very sow, and when they did take place, prices were altogether iv buyers\u2019 favor.inquiry for turkeys and chickens was sair, also a good demand was noted for ducks.>roduce dealers report a very good trade, and outside of ess and cheese\u201d the market showed a very active busin In print butter offerings were large, and prices ranged according to quality, but we think bet wcen 25c to 80c about cover the market.Western roll butter was plentiful, and sales were frequently made wt about 200 to 220, The oyster trade was very dull, with only à very small demand to note, Figures keep firm, with No.1 Malpecques at $4.50 per barrel, No.2 Malpecques, $3.50 to 84 à barrel, and

identical in composition with ordinary charcoal without the impurities of the latter.The ruby, on the other hand, is nearly pure aluminas, a substance found in profusion in every clay bank.The scientific name for crystallize alumina is corundum.and the gems com- prehiended under this designation are sometimes more valuable than diamends of the same weight.The pphy, the sapphire, the oriental emerald, the oriental topaz, the oriental amethyst, the oriental aquamarine the oriental chrysolite, the hyacinth an other precious stones are all alumina, the varieties of coler being caused by an appre- citable quantities of metallic oxides, \u2014Detroit Free Press.Why Artists Study the Nude.There is a much stronger reason why artists have devoted themselves to the nude, Ideas, if they are to be expressed in graphic or plastic art, must be incarnated, and the hu:nan figure is the one great medium of expression for abstract ideas in the arts.That the figure should be nude if it is to express great and simple ideas, peems almost natural.As Adam and Iive, \u2018\u2018were naked and were not ashamed/\u2019 so the gods and heroes of all people have been the glorified natural man\u2014clothes were an impertinence | to Jupiter or Apollo.If one figures a human incarnation of some great idea, Force or Love or Glory or Beauty, it seems natural that the artificial trappings of civilization should be discarded, and one does not soe what costume could have to do with Michael Angelo\u2019s \u201cNight\u201d and \u2018\u2018Morning.\u201d Truth is always \u2018\u2018naked,\u201d and.the Golden Age had no need of clothes.In this sort of work drapery may indeed be used, but for ornament, not for covering.In ideal art the functions of drapery are to give mass and dignity to what might otherwise be divided, to contrast multiplicity and intricacy of sinall folds with the broader forms of the naked body, to give variety of color to a composition that would otherwise be monotonous.Michael Angelo was, above all, a master of the uude, but in his eariier work he uses drapery magnificently for these ends.It was only in his old age that he attempted in the Last Judgmeut to suppress it altogether, and the result 1s not encouraging.But the use of drapery in ideal art is as purely for artistic reasons as is its absence, and has nothing to do with the propriety of clothing.\u2014Kenyon Cox in Scribner's, The People of Mexico.Mexico is not a Spanish, but an Indian nation.The pure-blood Indians constitute more than one-half the population of Mexico.The remainder are chiefly Indians] with a dash of Spanish blood.There are very few pure-blood Spaniards in Mexico, and thèse are hated with a hearty good will by the Indians and hybride, who refer to them as \u2018\u201c guachopins,\u201d which appears to be Mexican for snobs, Contrary to popular opinion in this country, there is very little admixture With the negro race in Mexico.The Mexicans have no particular objection to intermarrying with the negroes, but there are very few of the latter in that country.At Vera Cruz and other coast towns there has been some admixture with the coolies, brought from the Manilla Islands.\u2018Ihe lower Mexican states are almost exclusively Indian, and millions of them cannot speak Spanish at all.Meny of them are highly civilized and very wealthy, Politically it is a great advantage to be a pure-blood Indian.Benito Jaurez, at one time law partner of President Diaz, and regarded as the Washington of Mexico, was a full-hlood Oaxaca Indian.There are about G,000,000 Indians in Mexico still classed as savage.They are hot savage in the sense that the Sioux are, but they add nothing to the wealth of the country.It is the policy of the Diaz Government, as outlined in the last annual report of M.Romero, the Minister de Hacienda, to civilize these Indians and make of then valuable citizens, thereby more than doubling the wealth-producing force of the republic.Mexico is far behind the Central and South American States, Agriculture, the arts and commerce are carried on for the most part tntich as they were in Egypt 5,000 years ago.It is one country the Jews avoid.Those shiarp traders stand no show in Mexico.However backward they may be in other respects, the Mexicans can beat even the Aiericans at their own game.Theaverage Jaw trader would starve to death in Mexico.The Americans are the only people there who think of paying the price demanded for anything, and they are regarded as legitimate game and preyed upon unmercifully, \u2014Globe-Democras, He Was Acquitted.\u201cNow, Mr.Breeves,\u201d asked the chairman, \u2018\u2018is it not true that you took the case of Jones va, Brown on a conditional

with an offer to cede certain property to the city on the agreement that the city would re- wit taxa on the same (some $400), and allow compensation for the land at pro- ent valued at $2,000.Ths matter was left over until next meeting.A claim from Mr.Ponton, a St.Lawrence sticet barber, for damages to the amount of $S00 for a fall on the street, which resulted in a broken leg, was cut down to $500 and allowed.A report from the Health Committee aczking 34,88L to pay for the new dis- infectors they had received from Europe, and for $1,200 to pay for two others that had \u2018bern construet:d in the city was agreed to, aud both sums asked were granted.Then & memento of the Chicago trip came up in the shaps of several unpaid bills.No one could or would say by whom the bills were contracted, and as Ald.McBride raised strong objections to any euch payments, the bills, which had caused quite & little stir among the sedate committeeme=n, were absolutely refused consideration for the time being at least.THE LOAN AGAIN.At this moment Ald.McBride was called to che telephone.When he came in he said the Messrs.Hansons had received an answer from Mzssrs.Coates, the London financiers, wbom they represent in Montreal.Messrs.Coates\u2019 answer, said Ald.McBride, is another and bitter offer for the loan, and Mr.Hanson is now on nhis way up to lay th: offer before the neemmittee.\u201cToo late,\u201d said & member.n \u201cNot at all,\u201d said Ald.McBride, \u201cif it is to the advantage of ths city, we can reconsider our former decision ae- cepting the Bank of Montreal's offer.\u201d While awaiting the arrival of Mr.Hanson, a request from Mrs.Duhamel asking the city to expropilat: 2,500 feet of land in the vicinity of Tamley and Shaw streets at S5c a foot, was referred to the Road Committse.A claim of Mrs.Davin for 8188 for damages to her garden by firemen sud police at the big St.Cath rine street lumber yard fire of Jun» a year ago came up.This ciaim has for more than a year

for the Market Committee to defray extraordinary cxpenses incurred during the late cholera scare.The money was granted.The committee then adjournsd until 2.30 o'clock this afternoon.MESSRS CUATS OFFER.At this moment Mr.Hanson arrived, and once more the press was requested to retire, while the committee sat with closed doors.When the reporters were readmitted the information was given that M-ssrs, Coates\u2019 new offer had not been accepted, and that th> Bank of Montreal was still to bave the flcating of the loan.What waz the offer of M-ssrs.Coates, Chairman Rurteau was ask:d.Ile said their first off:r was only for £400,000.Their second offer, which had just been sulbmiti d to the committee, was for £700,000 at 99, laws 1 por cent or 1-4 por cent better than the Bank of Montreal

next, at 981.8, less 1 pr cent commission, tL- payment of the interest to be made in monthly instulments.Ald.Hurteau said that in accepting the above off vr, th» ci + would have sustained a loss on interest of $8,600, making the net proc:eds for the city from the first portion of the loan at 97 3-4 Ald.McBride was deply incensed at the small consideration that had ben grant.cd Messrs, Coates\u2019 offer by the committee.Some one asked why they had not scent in their offer earlier.Ald.MrBride answered, \u201cbecause they had only since yesterday afternoon 10 consider it.\u201d \u201cWas the Bank of Montreal in a better position?\u201d \u201cWas it?\u201d echoed Ald.MeBride, \u201cthey were kapt thoroughly posted om every move made by the city in the transaction.\u201d \u201cBy whom?\u201d \u201cBy & member of the Finance Committee of Montreal,\u201d enid Ald.MeBride, as he started for the door.FIRE COMMITTEE AND FINANCE.At & meeting of the fire committee yesterday

Colleret ladder being thought \u2018the best, this can be made in the city for less money than an American one dan be laid down here.They will have a water tower and will ask for $10,000 to crect a new hall for the same, They will also ask for the St.Ann\u2019a market building for a fire hall, and Ald.Stevemson seys that \u2018fit will be the best fire station im \u2018the city.\u201d A number

Dorchesterst A Scene in the Recorder\u2019s Court.The Recorder was occupied nearly all yesterday afternoon in hearing the case of Adele Mignon, charged with loitering on Dorchester street east the previous night.The evidence of the four constables submitted proved the charge of loitering and they also asserted that fair Adele was drunk and made indecent overtures to them although they wore the buttons which designated them as members of the tinest.The counsel for the defense tried hard to break down their testimony, and also asserted that the sergeant in charge at the police station had made indecent proposals to the prisoner while she was incarcerated in the cells in his station The Recorder in summing up commented strongly on the line of defence set up and sajd that the prisoners lawyer should be sure of his facts before making so strong an assertion to the detriment of a well tried officer who had been many years in the ferce and had always borne a first- class character.Such a defence was worse than useless and he had no hesitation in fining the prisoner $5 or one month.The prisoner\u2019s counsel paid the fine out of his own pocket, under protest, and will carry the case to the Superior Court.While he was doing so the sergeant above named entered the Recorder's court and after a few animated remarks requested the legal light to come outside and have it out a la Sullivan.Friends intervened and the belli- gereut sergeant was escorted out of the office before any damage was done.Mrs.Toodle\u2019s Walnut creams, best on earth, 818 Dorchester street.St.Gabriel

Ineandescent Burner Which is to Make a Revolution.The Auer Incandescent Light Company, which has been recently formed in this city, has opened extensive and permanent premises at No.2 St.James street.Here will be located the factory, offices and store rooms of the company, and when in full running order, it isexpected to have a capacity of 5000 lamps a week.Yesterday afternoon some members of the local press were given à practical illustration of the light, and the way in which it is produced.The \u201cAuer incandescent light,\u2019 us it is termed, is a novel form of light that has the right to be called an incandescent light quite as much as the electric, for the reason that the light is not directly produced from the gas, but the heat of the gas used is made to bring to incandescence a metallic oxido sleeveor cone which is technically termed a mantle.This mantle is produced in a remarkable way.A cotton cylinderabout an inch in diameter and three or four inches long, is made of fine cotton thread, as though knitted by a crotchet needle in open mesh work.This cotton fabric is then dipped in a solution that looks like clear water; in reality it is a solution of the salts of a refractory metal.It si dried and then set on fire, the cotton being completely consumed, and leaving the metallic solution in the form of the oxide of the métal.As a matter of fact there is left simply the metal that has stuck to the cotton.The ordinary gas jet is removed from a fixture and a Fonson burner takes its lace.\u2018This converts the illuminating gas into a blue heating flame similar to that used in gas cooking stoves, and by a suitable appuratus this flame is made to burn within the mantle above described, bringing it instantly to such a degree of inoandes- cence as is simply astonishing.The economy resulting from the use of this form of light compared with either gas or the electric light is very great.A private exhibition of this remarkable light is to be given in Windsor Hall on Thursday evening next, the 15th inst.The invitations have been sent out as follows ;\u2014 ** The President and Directors of the Auer Incandescent Light Co., Ltd, take pleasure in inviting you to a novel and interesting entertainment at Windsor Hall, 8 p.m.Thursday, December 15th.Mr, A.O.Granger, assisted by Prof.H.J.Bell, will exhibit and explain the Auer Incandescent Light, the wonderful invention of Dr.Carl Auer, of Vienna, which is believed to be the most marvellous system of producing artificial light yet discovered.The stereoscope and stereopticon will be used in illustration, and two expert Austrian girls will make some of the lights on the platform in full view.A photograph of some one selected from the audience will be taken by the Auer Light, thus demonstrating the presence of powerful actinic rays.The picture will be quiekly developed, and printed by the light, and projected on a screen by the stereopti- con, in which the Auer Light is used in place of the usual oxyd-hydrogen lime light.The officers of the company are: President, Mr.Alphonse Desjardins, of the Jacques Cartier Bank, and Vice-President, Mr.Samuel Carsley, dry goods merchant.Mrs.Toodle\u2019ga Horehound drops, good for co s and colds at 818 Dorchester street.ATTEMPTED MURDER.A Young Canadian Actress Has a Narrow Escape.News have just reached the city of a daring attempt to assassinate Miss Marie Ros- telle, a French Canadian lady, the leading member of the Henry Burlesque Company.Last week the company was playing in New Haven, Ct., and late in the evening of the first performance Miss Rostelle received a letter asking for an interview.The letter was in a gentleman\u2019s handwriting, and he was invited to the parlors of the Elliott House, where manager John Smith met him and introduced him to Miss Rostelle.The stranger made himself known as Chauncey Le Pere, a student and the son of a millionaire, and his appearance denoted the truth of Lis story.Shortly after the introduction he asked Miss Rostelle to join him in a glass of wine, She at once refused and told him that she thought he had come to see her on à matter of business, It was not business, he said, but love that had brought him.1f she would not at once marry him he would end his life, etc.He soon left the house, and the next night met her as she stepped from her carriage; displaying a revolver, he threatened there and then to shoot himself.Several friends had followed him and he was taken away.Ou Saturday night the company left for New York, and wheu within 23 miles of the big city, LePere was found in the smoking car.The conductor was told of the circumstances and he promised to watch the youth.Nothing happened until the city was reached and as the train pulled up at 42nd street, when LePere rushed toward Miss Rostelle aud in a loud voice declared that she must be his, and that he would see her the next day.On Sunday he was discovered in the same hotel, but as he made no disturbance nothing could be done, though Miss Rostelle was ill with excitement.At 7 o'clock on Monday night the members of the company were leaving the hotel, and os Miss Rostelle placed her foot on the carriage step, the report of a revolver was heard, and a bullet flew past her head and through the windows.1t was Le Pere who had fired the shot, and even while the smoking revolver was in his hands he was overpowered aud handed over to the police.He will be arraigned on a charge of attempted murder, but in the meantime doctors will examine as to his sanity.Miss Rostelle was seriously iil for several days.Mrs.Toodle\u2019s Pop Corn, 5 different flavors, 5c per cake, or 6 for 25c; for sale by all first class dealers.Real Estate Exchanges.C.A.L.Porteous has sold to the

Theatres.DeWolf Hopper and his merry retinue of fun-makers and singers will make their first appearance in this city at the Academy of Music on Monday evening.« Wang\u201d has become a synonym for an evening of uninterrupted enjoyment and merriment.and the names of DeWolf Hopper, Della Fox, Anna O'Keefe, Sumuel Reed, Edmund Stanley, and little Alfred Klein are s0 thoroughly identified with \u2018\u2018 Wang,\u201d and all that it implies, that a reference to their connection with the comedian\u2019s big organization is almost entirely unnecessary.De- Wolf Hopper is a marked exception to the general rule that \u2018\u2018the best goods come in small packages.\u201d This clever artist has never been condensed, he is all that nature hag grown him, and has more in physical gifts than the average man is given.Hopper is said to be as brainy as he is big, and owes his success in the comic opera field to constant study and intelligent improvement of every possible opportunity for enhancing the merits of his performances.His humorous tendencies are spontaneous, never unpleasantly suggestive, and at all times mirth-provoking.He is also an accomplished vocalist, and has the rare gift of clear enunciation, so that nothing is left to the imagination in his droll musical numbers.In little Della Fox, Mr.Hopper has a contrasting artist, peculiarly gifted in her own special line and admirably adapted to heighten his own success in the scenes in which the two appear, The simple statement that \u201cWang,\u201d is to be seen and heard in this city is all that is needed to fill the above named house of amusement to the doors by the comedian\u2019s friends and admirers.MENDELSSOHN CHOIR.The twenty-ninth eeason of the Mendelssohn choir opened last evening before a brilliant audience at the Windsor Hall The programme mostly consisted of picces of a slow tempo and quiet character, The light and sbade were carefully marked, and the whole organization was under perfect control of the conductor.The balance of the choir was good, on the whole, but the male portion was rather weak in volume, though good in tone, especially the basses.The sopranos were very brilliant, and kept a perfect pitch.There was nothing very novel or very extraorginary in the program except St.-Saens\u2019 a \u201cTo the night\u201d\u2014 a succession of the most extraordinary and difficult modulations imaginable, and was beautifully rendered.It is a pure French lyral.Dvorak\u2019s \u201cWoodland Angelus\u201d was also well rendered and made a charming iece.The other choral members were ensen\u2019s \u2018Firat Song,\u201d Leslie\u2019s \u2018Charm me Asleep,\u201d Rheinberger\u2019s ¢ Morning Song,\u201d Mendelssohn\u2019s setting of the second psalm, and Gounod s Mottet \u201cBy Babylon\u2019s Wave,\u201d A lighter selection was the Raff Winter Carol, which had to be repeated.Madame Nordica was the soloist and is too well known to need any praise.She was in excellent voice and received a most flattering ovation which was well merited.Her voice is clear, powerful and sweet to a degree in every register, and her chest tones are rich and beautiful in quality.She was most gracious in responding to the encores which followed each appearance and her personel charm and magnetism increased the enthusiasm after each.Mr.Gould received the homage of the a lience and conducted with his usual care and skill, although most of his hard work has been accomplished in the excellent training he has given his graceful and sweet toned choir.EAST LYNNT.In speaking of the performance which oomes to the Queen\u2019s theatre next week The New York Clipper says: There was a very cordial greeting for the young actress, whose venture had attracted especial consideration from the fact that it brought her forward in a version\u2014and her own\u2014of Mrs.Wood\u2019s well worn story, \u2018\u2018East Lynne.\u201d Ou her first appearance she was greeted with applause, and throughout the play she held the attention of her audience, the curtain falling on a sucoess.Of Miss Mount- ford\u2019s histrionic ability, The Clipper has already spoken unreservedly.She has the physical and intellectual equipment of a thorough and fine actress.er graceful manner, her handsome face and sympathetic voice are strong points with any audience.THE HENRY BURLESQUE.The Royal will have a stage full of famous people next week, in the engagement of the enry Burlesque Co.Among the great number of artists will be found Miss Marie Ros- telle, Mathews and Bulger, authors and comedians; Will West,

Tar and Tar Tar.THE EDITH ROSS COMPANY.At the Windsor Hall, Monday evening, Dec.12th, the Edith Ross Scottish Concert company will be heard, of which The Newport Observer says : The enthusiam at the Opera house last night with the Edith Ross Scottish Concert company was great, and all the performers met with hearty encores.Miss Edith Ross is a host in herself and at once sung her way into the hearts of the audience by her charming rendition of \u201cCame Ye by Athol\u201d and in response \u2018\u201cCaller Herrin.\u201d As a violinist, Miss M.C.Reade is simply delightful and her selections carried thé house by storm.The dancing of Miss Mary McNeill was perfect, yet modest withal, and was received with much enthusiasm.The whole concert was a delightful success.SOME NEW MUBIC.Messrs.I.Suckling & Sons have published some new issues for review, amongst which is a very beautiful \u2018Ave Maria,\u201d by Pietre Mascagui, on the melody of his celebrated intermezzo from the opera of \u2018\u201c Caval- liera Rusticana.\u201d It is written in keys to suit all voices, and is a work that will have a widespread popularity.Miss Emma Juch sang it recently in Toronto with great success.A new waltz, called Beauty's Daughters, by Caroline Lowthian, author of the oelebrated Venetian and Myosotis Valses, is beautifully illustrated.¢ Pearl of the West,\u201d amilitary schottische, by J.B.Spurr, is very pretty, simple and effective for piano.A Barn Dance, by Paul Dupret, is very much after the style of the celebrated skirt, which has had such a great popularity.A.Pallaca Brillant, by Jules Eckardt, for piano solo, is a bright, pleasing and showy piece.THE IONA SOCIALS, The Iona Social Club gave one of their hops last evening, in the Queen\u2019s Hall Assembly Rooms.A most enjoyable evening was spent by the seventy-nine couples present.An idea of the popularity of the Jona social hops is demonstrated by the fact that the committee had torefuse seventy-five demands for tickets, as they did not prepare for such a number.The Yonw Social Club have added another success to their former ist.HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.Musical Editor of The Herald : There is a proverb in all languages \u201cLet the Devil have his due.\u201d Now if his Satanic Majesty can have this privilege, why not a poor musician?The press in general expressed itself highly satisfied with all the performers at Miss Pelletier\u2019s concert, and so did the public; but the principal figure (that is the master) who imparted to then the divine art, (in which both public and press both equally agreed) was entirely left out and forgotten with the exception of The Herald, which did allow some praise to the master.Is not this an injustice?Shull I ever get fair play in this country?It is just a year since 1 cane here and I have shown my work by presenting my pupils to the judgment of the public and press, They are praised most highly upon their improvement, and in fact are re- study to become).Now, if I did all these marvellous things, why not say so: * Honor to whom honor is due.\u201d 1 would also like to say à few words about the singing of Miss F aller.The aria from \u201cThe Prophete \u201d which this lady sang 1s written for a compass that not one alto in a thousand can touch (viz): two octavesand a half.To sing this aria di bravura, even respectably, it requires an exceptionable voice, true dramatic feeling, passion, quick perception, and great precision, which has been done all through training.Well, it was not only sung with all the nuances, but sung well.Of course the effect would have been greater with the accompaniment of & good orchestra.The public applauded, but the press was silent on this subject also.I Wish to say in conclusion that the successes of the evening should be equally divided between Miss Pelletier and her colleagues and they are all my pupils.By making this statement you will greatly oblige, LroNArDO R.VEGARA.REAL

Judge held that the English law prohibiting the right of action of a lawyer against his client does not apply here, where the matter is governed by the French law.This French law considers it unprofessional for a lawyer to tax his services.at a lump sum fixed beforehand, but allows him to fix a reasonable price for such services as they are given, and when a client is unwilling to pay these reasonable charges, then the lawyer has his right of action, as in all ordinary claims.In accordance with this ruling, the Court rendered judgment in fav aintilf, for erelored g avor of
