Correspondent Tricked.In the Montreal correspondence to the Empire the following story appears: Montreal, March 30.\u2014It has leaked out.although the police and the newspapors know nothing of the affair until to-day, that a ghastly find was quite recontly made on Dorchester street cast.For some woeks past the building in question has been unoccupied, and when the men went to work to demolish the old house no one dreamed that any beins, human or otherwiso, dead or alive, would bs found therein.Going up stairs, however, the laborers were horrifled to ses an old woman sitting at a table, hor hands erossod.and her half-onenod eyes staring aeross the room.At first they thought the unknown was Alive, but farther examination revealed the sad fact that she had died atone, and her body was nowstiffand cold.The body hns not yet been identified, but it is presumed the old lady erawled up stairs for sheitor, and there dlod of cold and hunger.The informant of The Empire correspondent was

French Cabinet Crisis Means a General Election Very Soon.= = Newspapers Demand That the Ministry £hali be Composad of New Men\u2014Sijns Ttat the Crisis Will be Long and the So'ution Pifficuit \u2014 Opinions of the Newspapers.: > am à ~ - Paris, March 31.\u2014The cabinet crisis is a subject of general discussion both in the press and in publie places.Most of the newspapers, including the Republican organs, concur in demanding that the Ministry shall be composed of new men.The refusal of the Chamber to grant M.Tirard supplies for more than a month Is regarded as clear proof that the Chamber desires dissolution to be deferred until after the budget hasbeen voted and the Legislature will have come into entente with the new cabinet which, it is believed, is lkely to be called upon to issus a decree for holding the general elections, The Journal des Debats, Conservative Republican, ana \u2018Lhe Republican Siege, both protest against a patched up ministry.The Petit Journal, Liberal Republican, and The Republican Voltaire demand the immediate} § dissolution of the Chamber.The radical Lanterne says that dissolution is impossible until the Senate gives way to the Chamber in regard to the budget.The Republique Francaise, Republican, says that if the cabinet had challenged a direct vote of confidence it would have suffered defeat by a hundred votes.The Republique Francalse adds : \u201c There is every sign that the crisis will be long and the solution difficult.\u201d In the regular course of events the general elections would be next held in September.President Carnot, however, has the right to dissolve the Chamber of Deputies at any time upon the advice of the Senate, and the comments of the newspapers indicate a strong public tendency in favor of the dissolution,

three great festivals of the year are Christmas, Easter and Whitsunday, but of these three Easter stands out unquestionably as the greatest.Easter is the festival on which is celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.On this mystery hangs the very existence of the Christian's faith.Irom this, as a centre, all other articles of the Chistian belief branch out, and it follows that the celebration of this anniversary is one of tho most solemn, and at the sume time most joyful, of the Christian year Apart, however, from the Christian and ecclesiastical point of view it 18 certain that a festival at or very bear the same date has been celebrated fiom the very dawning of tise.The period of the -vornal equinox, the tine that has been ever celebrated as the opening of the spring season, must always have appealed to the imagination as a time set apart for rejoicins and as the early héathen religions waxed and flourished and were organized and oflicered by by the early kings and priests, the rejoie- ings at the opening of spring came to be celebrated with sacrifices and pravers and grand ceremonial observance, The Chrisi- ian Easter is of itself of venerable antiquity, but before its first celebration the Jows had been celebrating at the same date the feast of the Passover.No doubt, at the time Moses ordered the first eelebration ot that festival by the children of Israel.the Egyptians were celebrating a feast in honor of the rising ot the sun-god fron his winter sleep, the origin of which festival was lost in the mists of their antiquity, and anedated all those religious memorials that carry us back in imagination to primeval days.À spring celebration co-incident with Icaster can thus be traced back to the morning days of the world and is not confined to an Egyptian aud Jewish ancestry, but appears Lo be the common property oi alt nations and all times.The very name «not peoples of teutonie descent is supposed to be derived from Eastre a Saxon vely whose feast was honored at the verial Kguinox, thie name being retained when the least was changed from a Pagan to a Christian festival.This seems the sore rrobavle as we find Laster, known by the came name among the Cerman pecple as the Anglo-Saxons, a proot of their common origin, while the name of the next great festival Whitsun- tide, is- derived in Saxon from tbe white arinants worn by catechumens and coms municants on that day.while among the Gertuans it is called Ptingston, à name derived troin another source.Easter is a movable festival; that is, it Is not, as Christmas, observed at a fixed date, but moves backward and forward as the full moon next aiter ihe vernal equinox falls nearer or farther from the equinox.The fixing of this date was not effected Lill after centuries of controversy, which lett their mark upon the early his- tury of the chu-ch.The Lastern Christians had followed the customs of the Jews and kept Easter on the saine day as the Jewish Pas-over.\u2018he date was fixed by the Jews as the 14th of the inonth of Nivan, and might fall on any day of the week.The Western Christians, remembering that the resurrection took place on Sunday, kept their holiday ou the Sunday atter Lhe 14th, hoping by those means to commemerate the very day on which it occurred.Towards the end ot the second century, Victor Bishop of Rome, attempted to bring about a untlormity of practice, but met with a stubborn opposition from the eastern bishops and people, these who continued to keep the hollday on the 14 Nivan being called Quartodeclinans.At the (Ecumenical Council of Nice.held in the fourth century, the Lmperor Constantine got an ordinance passed to have Faster observed on the same day throughout the Christian Churet® Tue following were the rules they lai down: 1, That the 21st day of March shall be counted the vernal equinox, 2.That the full moon upon, or next after, tie 21st of March shail be accounted As Eho divon of Nivan, : - (3) Ihattba Lord's Day next that full moon sball be Laster, {4} If that full moon happens on Sunday then Easier shall be observed on the Sunday alter.Lhe Britons who had been driven by their Saxon conauerors to Wales, Cornwall and, it is believed, some of the mountainous districts ol the uorth Were isolated and cut off iron: tue general community of the Christian church, hence wo Sind that they continued to celebrate Easter after a lashio + ot their own long aîter the Council of HMic6 bad established a unilormity of cusioms.Augustine had a meeting with the #Brish bishops, at which ho labored hard Lo change their views, and it was not till 664 when Colman, Bishop of Lindesfain had a conterence with Agibert Saxoun, Bishop ot Dorchester, and Wilfred, a Saxon Mouk, that an outward uniformity was established.Upou the dete on celebrated depend the festivals of the Church and, there- tore, it was of importance that the date should be clearly defined and observed by all christian people SOME EARTER CUSTOMS, One of the earliest and most noticeable of Euglish Easter celebrations was to following WhichFaster is other movable bold a great feast in the chnrch- yard at Easter tide.\u201cThe festival was thew celevrated by music, dancing, and reioicing, among which was quai- ting à due atnount (perhaps undue would be & letter term) of Laster ale.Whether it is a remual of this observance

go to a noted spol for this pasch-ezg game on the level sward within the ruins of Furness Abbey where the whole scene was most joyous and exhilarating.Another custom still kept up in the mining towns and villages of Stafford- shire, Derbyshire, Lancashire and other places is that of heaving.This curious fashion, the origin of which is lost in the Mists of antiquity, allows the men on Easter Monday to \u201cheave, or lift, any woman he meets, from the ground, when he can claim a kiss as toll.On Laster Tuesday the women of the village have their turn, aud after heaving the men (less gallant than their male companions) they claim a sum of money, which is generally This custom as a matter of general observauce is dying out.but still rent collectors, tallymen, popular bosses, _dudish young men,

CANADIAN FASTER., Perhaps nowhere in modern days is Easter, inore thoroughly a grand festival than among the French-Canadians.As a relizious observance il is kept with a faith and fervor unsurpassed, and, indeed, unequalledy in any other country.Tne French-Canadian Tollows the special gervices of Holy Week with devotion.His church, on which he is proud to lavish every possible decoration, is, during that time, dra:ed in robes of mourniug.« The pictures.statues, crosses, and other ornaments are hidden from his sight.The bells are mufilled, the music Is silent, on every side he is impressed by the inourn- fulness and desolation of the scene that at otber times is so bright and inspiriting.Not only are his senses thus wrought upon, tut the last days of leat are times of the severest fasting.His ordinary \u2018are is denied him.His is not the perfunctory observance of the chureh\u2019s mandates that merely substitutes a fish tor a flesh diet.His is real down-rigbt severe penance, and his body is mortified, in the case of men who have laborious work to perform, till he can scarcely get through his accustomed labor for bodily weakness.All this is altered on Laster ~unday.Fasting gives place to leasling.His Church resumes its wanted appearance.The music of the organ again peals through the arches and heibs on the triumphant songs of thanksgiving and rejoicing raised by the choir.Unce more the church bells sprinkle the alr with their melody.Outside the air is filled with with signs of returning spring.The rude reign of winter is broken, or if indeed sowe signs of its reign are still left, they are but shadows of its former severities.Everything combines to make Kaster for him a time for inirth and rejoicing, and when the choir in gladsome tones raise the anthem \u201clize dies.quam tecit dowinus,\u201d \u201cThis is the day the Lord has made; ietus pe glad and rejoice therein\u2019 he takes the appeal literally to his heart.ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLE.The Canadian descendants of the British Isles are peruape less fervid in their outward dcmonstrations but not less do they welcome Laster as a Joyous time that appeals to their feelings as men and as Christians.Their Lenten ouservances have not been as exhausting as those ot their Roiwran Catholic fellow- citizens, but still it has been Renerally kept in a quiet, sober manner.© society\u201d has restricted somegot its functions, and at Laster blazes forth into a career nf gayety.Their churches are mostly decorated in a fashion that stirs their hearis to an unusual degree.Their services are {ull ot joyous and triumpbant strains that call to mind their triumph over death, in tho person ol their Savior, which the day celebrates.Sermons and prayers are all directed to the sams tend, and even non-churchgoers cannot fail to cateh, to sume extent, tho general Joyous feeling.If they have no utuer cause for giadness, thero is the feeling that with Easter the hard and cruel w.nter is lelt behind and the gentle days of spring and the giorious holidays of surm- mer are {ast approaciing, \u2018The fishermen begin to louk uv their 1ods and lines and to study their fly books.Sportsmen furbisk up their guns.Bicyelers, lacrosse- men, baseball players and all lovers of outdoor amusements look torward eagerly to the coming season.Ii is a time ot gencral expectation, and so from all hearts, from, however, different reasons there goes up to heaven, one peallng \u201cHallelujah\u201d in honcr of the festivai.EASTER AT ROME.Easter week is still the great season at Rome.At this feast

pictures.The \u2018* Progress of the World\u201d is particu- 1arly strong and full.The American editor discusses the fuil restoration of the Democratic party, the Hawaiian question, and a variety of other issues, while Mr.Stead contributes a most brilliant and graphic discussion of the English political situation, and the merits and demerits of the Gladstone Home liuls bill \u2018The leading ailticle of the number is, however, a brilliant summing-up of the new American cabinet by Prof.Wilson, of Princeton University.1Ilev.Dr.Barrow, ot Chicago, writes of the meeting of the Religious Congress at Chicago during the World's Fair, at which representatives of all the great religions will be in attendance.Perhaps none of its other illustrated articles will attract more attenticn than one upon the question of dress reform irom the standpoint of the World's Fair.The Woman\u2019s National Council is proposing to inaugurate a movement for short and comfortable walking dresses, and the Review of Reviews publishes a number of very interesting portraits of well-known ladies as photographed in their dress-reform street gowns, several of the photographs being specially taken for this number.Romance for April is the eighth in that magazine's serles of special numbers, nearly balf of 1ts contents being from the Italian.Besides the Italian stories there are strong and beauliful tales by Harriet Prescott Spofford, Eva Wilder MoGlasson, Mary C, liungertord, and others; an Australian April Fool story, a very funny Ghost story by Oscar Wilde, and one of the most charmine of French love stories, by Henri de Chennevieres.Harper\u2019s Magazine for April is partieu- larly rich in articles on American subjects.An important chapter ot Western history, written iu a style which invests it with all the charms of romance, is the articie on \u201cKansas, 1541-1891,\u201d contributed by ex- Senator John James Ingalls, and accompanied by numerous portraits of men who made themselves famous in the development of that coummonwealth.* The City of Brookiyn\u201d is the subject of a graphic article by Julian Ralph, and is very fully illustrated from drawings and photographs.Hamlin Russell narrates \u201c The Story of the Buttalo,\u201d of their lile on the great Western plains, and of their rapid and almost complete extermination.A.Conan Doyle's great historical romance, \u201cThe Refugees,\u201d is continued, and the scene of the stirring narrative 1s trans- terred from the Oid World to the New.A poem by James Russell Lowell, hitherto unpublished, entitled * An April Birthday Al Sea,\u201d beautifully illustrated by Rosina Emmet Sherwood, is another attractive feature of the number.The editorial departments maintain their usual high standard of excellence, lhe editors of New York Town Topies invite a new contest for prize stories of from 40,000 to 45,000 words in length, for which the following prizes wili be awarded : $1,000 for the first,

Ropublican revorse and defines the party\u2019s right attitude in the present crisis.Sir Houry James, Mr.Gladstone's former attorney-general, describes in \u201cThe British Corrupt Practices Act\u201d this 2elebraied and effective measure, which he carried through the House of Commons.Mr.R.H.Inglis Paigrave, formerly editor of the London Economist, in \u201cAn Enge lish View vf Investments in the

monarchistic machinations of the French prelates.His last act is to give the republic a steadying hand in the present storm.This policy will make France loyally Catholic.And now in this MeGlynn

I wash my bony hands with castile soap and a pinch of meal, mop them with a towel and dry them in the bowl.My hands are not soft\u2014bones never are\u2014but look at them !\u201d They were beautiful\u2014smooth, warm, fine- skinned and as white as bread.Red Hair and Freckles.Science explains the phenomenon of red hair thus: \u201cIt is caused by a seperabund- ance of iron in the blood.This it is that imparts the vigor, the clasticity, the great vitality, the overflowing, thoroughly health animal life which ruds riot through ihe veins of the ruddy-haired, and this strong, sentient animal life is what renders them more intense in ail their emotions than their more languid fellow.creatures.The excess of iron is aiso the cause of freckles on the peculiarly clear, white skin which always accompanies red hair.This skin is abnormally sensitive to the action of the sun\u2019s rays, which not only bring out the little brown spots in abundance, but alse burn like a mustard plaster, producing a quecr, creepy sensation, as if the skin was wrinkling up.\u201d\u2014Analyst.Clear the Ground ¥ive Inches, The English Short-Skirt League has taken an even more practical step than that of issuing rules of membership.They are publishing attractive designs for the gowns, which must be \u2018\u2018at least five inches off the ground\u201d to comply with the regulations of the souiety\u2019s pleilye.The first thing that will be noticid about there gowns, or would be if one were to examine the real articles, is that each hag à pocket.It is very cicver of the organizers of this league, to take this time to advance th-ic cause, fer ul- ready in Paris walking dresses are being made short, dsacing gowns barely covering the instep.\u2014New York Sea.A Biz Diamond.Orne of the fincss dinmonds in the world was found not long since in the Brazilian sands.Iv came in a novel form.A sail quartz rock about the size ead shape of an egg was found in the sands along the banks of the Amazon, in Brazil, It was carried home by a Brazilian peasant, who was attracted by i's odd shape and light weight.Ohe day, in handling it, he dropped it cn a stone, when it barst open, and lay in halves.The holiow that gave the stena the light weight wes filled with bleod-red sand.In this sand Isy the diamond, sparkling stone of rarest quality.\u2014The Groat Divide.HIGHER EDUCATI/N FOR WOMEN.Anxiety is exhibited in many quarters apout women who are striving for the hizher ed cation, meaning the education naaally even to college students.What is it for?What will thoy do with it?What will they hecome?The professions are already full;

but the kitten did not move, Then he turned her over with his nose, teased her with his paw ; still she did not move.Spot then showed signs of great uneasiness.He would pause, then begin again, and coax her to get up.At length he seemed to realize that Pansy would never get up any more, and that he knew the meaning of death.With every evidence of distress he carried her to the side of the walk.Then he dug a hole, pus the kitten in it, and carefully covered it with earth, and went away.\u201cWhen the family came home from church they were surprised not to be met as usual by the dog and cat.A member of the family called from the window, whers he had been watching the sad incident, \u2018Call Spot.\u201d The dog was called, and came creeping on all-fours to his master\u2019s feet, where he lay, a spectacle of grief and quiet.\u2018Ask for Pansy,\u2019 prompted the witness.The question was asked, and the dog looked up in mute appeal.The grou moved down the walk to the newly-made grave, but the dog refused to follow, and crawled abjectedly away.A few moves with a cane revealed the kitten\u2019s body.Spot was again called.He came dragging him self along, and lay groveling at his master\u2019s feet.N° one could doubt the dog's anguish.It was not so much their duty te blame as to console him in his grief.\u201d A Can of Monkeys.\u201c A Bangor family recently engaged » cook, who was quite an artist with the kitchen utensils and the raw material at her disposal, although she was not on good terms with the cook books, being unable te read.She identified canned goods, for instance, by the pictures on the can labels but once, at least, this did not work an the result was amusing.* - À can of desiccat ed cocoanut was brought to ths house by the groceryman and it bore the well-known trade mark cut of the monkey dallying with a cocoanut.When her gaze fell upon that con she was astounded.\u201cOl, lor!\u201d she vjeculated.\u201cI have seen canned corn, canned peaches and most everything canned, but bless me if this aint the first time I ever saw any canned monkeys V'\u2014 Lewiston (Me.)

public generally such a degree of consideration and kind- noes as to take away not a little of the bitterness of the blow which fate dealt it on Monday night.The Herald is particularly grateful to its contemporaries for their ox- pression of regret and good wishes, and in the case of the local press for more tangible evidences of friendliness.The Herald, thanks to the magnificent equipment of The Star which bas been placed at its disposal, has been enabled ever since the fire to present to its readers & newspaper not unworghy of its past reputation.To-day we publish an eight- page paper, which we hope will shortly be our permanent form.Steps are being taken to obtain for The Rerald new quarters and a mechanical outfit quite up to the standard of that which was destroyed.In a few weeks Tho Herald of the old days will re-appear in every particular.Considering the extent of the disaster the business of The Herald has shown remarkable recuperative powers.Both in alvertising and in subscriptions this journal! has had many evidences ol! the public regard for it.The sale of the paper, instead of falling off, has shown a healthy increase.Yesterday's edition was exhausted at a very early hour, and many orders could not be filled; and its issue of to-day is one of the largest it has ever printed.A TALE THAT iS TOLD.Lo the supporters of the existing Government at Ottawa, in Parliament and in the country at large, the session which will come to an end this afternoon must have brought bittor disappointment.They may congratulate themselves on one single circumstance: the session has been, happily for the Government, an unusually short one, and the agony of the spectacle of the decline of a once great political party has not been cruelly prolonged.In other regards the session has been of such a naturo as to bring disquietudo to a vast majority of the members of a party which Sir John Macdonald fashione:i and held together, as it now appears |by dint only of his own great personal force.It has been à record of à succession of broken promisegs open revolts and brilliant failures; the breaking of promises made to the people by the ministers in allsolemnity and in apparent good faith; the revolts of men who Lave grown up in the Conservative faith from hoybood and who were among the most respectabls and intelligent of its devotees; the fallures of the ministers In the simplest duties of the leadership of the party and the conduct of the affairs of the country.They have failed to make it clear that the Government has any fiscal policy to which it is willing to adhere; they have betrayed striking weakness alike in the adjustment of Internal dissensi-n, and in the manipulation of foreign affairs; and they have failed utterly te hold the warring elements of the party in even a semblance of that unity and enthusiasm which was lately its proudest boast.During the last recess the attention of the poople was drawn with remarkable force to the necessity for an immediate and radical revision of the tariff.There have always been many, and to-day those many probably compose a solid majority of the electors of the country, who bellovn that the only revision which would fill the required conditions of a national prosperity would be a complete obliteration of the present tariff.Such a revision and the substitution of a measure which should have for its solo object the raising of a revenue ls plainly tke goal of all tarlif reformers who have a real appreciation of the gravity of the situation.Such a doctrine was widely preached ang widely accepted in the country.More timid but not more cautious men expressed the opinion that the application of remedies to certain specified grievances would relieve the taxpayers ot a large portion of their burdens.The rest, they said, could not be escaped, and must be borne, On the one hand the protective principle of the tariff was roundly condemned, On tho other it was he!d to bo sufficiently consistent with the principle of tariff reform.The agitation against the tariff, as it steod, however, was not confined to any class nor to any political party.The manufacturers und their immediate beneficlaries not unreasonably beld aloof from it, but men who in the past had been disinterested] if en- thusiastie supporters of the National Pol- ley, joined with the niembers of the Liberal party in the demand for better terms for the taxpayers.Liberals and Conservatives differed only as to the details of the proposed revision.Then came the timo when Sir John Thompson hag to parade his nowly-chosen ministry before the people,and with all the solemnity that might be attached to after-dinrer speeches, he and his ministers declared throughout the country that the Government was ready to admit that the tariff was not without defects, and to promise that those defects would ve remedied.The disinterested supporters of the Government breathed again.They beligved that these promises would be carried out, and that they would not be forced in defence of their views to abandon the party of their «: ole and geek the chill shades of convie- (lon.The TIouse sat and Conservative taritr \u201cvformers were glven the earliest possible portunity to declare themselves, The ivader of the Opposition followed the somewhat unusual course of moving an shwendment to the address in reply to the speech from the Throne, This amendment v'esriy stated the expediency of an im- iuvGinie revision of the tarif, The Gov- =riment interposed another promise to ite followers.Tarlff reform, it said, would be {fully treated In the budget speech and ary premature declaration of the policy of the Government gE | would tend to unsettle trado.promise and this argument prevailed, and the party rallied cheerfully to the support ofthe Government.In Ilko manner was disposal made of all the other tari{f reform resolutions that flooded the order paper These resolutions, for free corn, free coal oil, and free binder twine, were discussed, talked cut, or voted down, and all eyos Were turned upon the Finance Minister, who in due time made his budget speech and his declaration of tha policy of the Government.The keen edge of tie disappointment which that declaration produced has not yet worn away enough to warrant an extensive review.The Government proposed that a couple of paitry reductions ¢n coal oil and binder twine should be made and that with thoso exceptions tariff reiorm should stand until the Government should have timo io make a tour of investigation.Even this miserable subterfuge failed to shake off the men who wero stijl clinging desperately to the rock of their allegiance to the Conservative party.Only one of them supported Sir Tichard C irtwright\u2019s amendment.But the resoiution moved subsequently by Mr.McCarthy was sble to gccure the support not only of tho Liberals, but of three of those Conservatives who before the session had declared for tariff reform.The net resuit of the controversy was that tho Liberal party stood plodged to the revision of the tariff with a view to the immediate adoption of a rate of taxation for revenue only, and to the ultimate elimination of the principlo of protection and the adoption of a policy of the freest trade.And ln these general views they had gained the avowed support of at least four Conservatives whoso deeds in Parliament went hand in hand with their words outside its walls, The Conservatives, on the other hand pledged, themaelves to the maintenance of the protective principle and io such a disturbance of trade as, protracted for at least a year, cannot but be most disastrous.In the light of their experience of tho Inability or unwiilingness of the Govern ment to fulfil any of its promires of relief from the oppression of the tariff, the people of Canada will set no great store by this latest pledge ofreform.It terms are 80 Indefinite as to permit easy evasion.The Investigation Is not to te protracted Leyond \u201ca reasonable period.\u201d That Is equivalent to saying that it will never take place.\u2018then, in accordance with the findings, the Government is to make such ests of the whole country.\u201d It Is sale to predict that the definition of such interests will be taken out of the hands ol the Government and assumed by the manufacturers, and that nothing will result.But in the meantime the com- merco of thecountry isinevitably disturbed during periods of its greatest activity.There arises, too, the probability of a general election beforo the next session.The Government dare not make such a radical revision as would alienate the manufaëturers, No other revision will satisfy a vast majority of the people, and the Government is very apt to conclude that its safest way out is to invent some pretext for a general election and to trust to Its proverbial luck and its most effective alectoral methods to pull it through.The manner of its redemption of past promises points to no more probable outcome of the present situation.This issue has been paramount in the House as it is iu the country, but the Government has had further opportunities to display its weakness.In the matter of the Manitoba school laws \u201cits inglorious policy of drift\u201d received the condemnation of the representatives of both parties to the dispute, and the Opposition was able to concur in the principle that a matter of such} vital momen! to the happiness of the united people should be adjusted without delay.The inflammatory utterances of the Controller of Customs, speaking at Kingston in condemnation of the granting ot Home Rule to Ireiand, were roviewed under circumstances which threw a strong light upon the dissensions in the ruling party.The conclusion of that debate saw two Cablnet Ministers voting for a resolution which the acting leader of the House had declared to be virtually a motion of want of confidence in the Government The organs of the respective factions have carried the fight outside of Parliament, and are now clamoring each for the resignation of the Ministers for whom the other is champion.But the two Ministers may congratulate themselves that they were followed into opposition by several other Ministerialists.The magniticent!corruption of Sir Adolphe Caron, as exposed by Mr, Edgar by means of the meagre evidence reported to the House by a tribunal constituted on grossly partizan lines, was defended by the Government at the cost of soveral more of its supporters.The Government was unable to bring up its undivided forces in a single division during the session.It has utterly lost Dalton McCarthy, who, with his following, must now be looked upou as one of the most important forces in Canadlan politics.Its factions are mutually suspicious and in many cases openly hostile.It has been subjected to the unsparing criticism of the Independent press, which in former years has usually been found upon its side, Ite loaders are discredited, and its followers disheartened, with ho joy in the present or hope for the future.Twoclrcumstances may serve to bring the party cheer.In the first place, it has still a sound majority in the House.1 n the second, its acting leader has been bold enough to persist in his refusal to ask Parliament to ratify the French treaty, of which, although framed by Sir Charles Tupper himself, Mr, Foster declares his inability to express his approval, The record of the Opposition, on the other hand, has been a record of most on- couraging successes.A wiso and well loved leader, able lieutenants and a united and enthusiastic following have been able not only to ffght splendidly on the aggreesive, but to reap material advantage from the blunders ot thelr opponents.Their zeal, their, ability, t heir probity and their consistent champ lonship of causes that are good have appealed strongly to the people of the Do- rainion.Their decision to give to the widest possible representation of their party a full account of thelr stewardship, and in a general convention of Canadian Liberals to take counsel for the futur,e has set the seal upon thelr courage and thelr honesty.They will not let slip the advantages they have gained, The guns will boom to-day upon the closiræ of one of the most Important sessions in the history of Canadian Liberalism.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 As MR, LAURIER predicted in tho House olCommons the other day, tho time for the consideration of the French treaty has been postponed to the Greek Kaleaas, This changes as it may hold to be \u201cin the inter-* MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, 'SATURDAY, APRIL 1 1593, THE GATHERING or THE CLANS.The Liberals of Canada stand higher In the regard of the people of Canada to- ay than they have stood for soars.The record of thotr represontatives in the Federal Parliament during the sossion which will come to an end this afternuun is a rocord of a succession of brilliant achiovements.They have not been able\u2014and during what remains of the lifetimo of the existing l'arllament they wil not bo able\u2014to remove the majority of suproriers of tho Government, but they have Leen able, by the wisdom and parilament: ry skill of the leaders and tho unity and enthusiasm of tho rank and file, to shake every tenet of the Canadian Conservative faith They have so clearly defined their fiscal policy, have expressed so high a confidence inthe energies and abilities of the country, that the evasion by the Government of the vitalissuo ol tarlff reform, and its despair for the future of the industries of he country under any condition but that of anex:ravagant protection,lssudjeet to such comparisons as are odious.Tha two parties now stand before the country, the one pledged to the maiutenance of princi- plos cléariy defined.the otber without definite policy of any kind, pledged to nothing at ail, The Liberals in Parliament have good cause to congratulate themselves upon the growth of their powers, upon that vast improvement in parliamentary efficien- ey, which tne fulfilment of the arduous duties of Opposition has conferred upon them.They have good cause to con- aratulato themselves also upon the high degree of favor which their efforts have won them in the country.In view of the fact that for years they have borne the brunt of the battle and fairly established ikoir claim to be called the leaders of Canadian Liberalism, it 1s fitting that they should hive taken the lni- tiative in a plan of which the object Is the estalilishment of an active Liberal organ- zation.As those to whom the Liberals of Canada look! for the public expres- slon of their principles, 1t le fitting that they should have docided to take counsel with à convention of Liberals, which should be thoroughly representative of Liberalism in all parts of the Dominion, ol all classes and creeds and of both races.It has been dectdoa by the representatives of the party at Ottawa that a convention of Liberals shall be held at Ottawa, commencing on June 24.The delegates shall comprite the Liberal members of the House of Commons and the Senate, all candidates who shall have been nominated to contest constituencies in the Liberal interest and five representatives from each electoral district.The convention which will last for several days, will again clearly define the pol.cy of the party, and will take measures for the organization of the party in all parts of the Dominion.This is a great undertaking, and it is imperativa that no time should be lost and no palns spared by the Liberals in every electoral district in- sclecting thoroughly representative delsgates.It is to be presumed that the leaders h ave made arrangements for the opening of headquarters at Ottawa, and that everything in the nature of preparation that may contribute to the success of the convention will be done at once, The choice of Ottawa as the place of meeting was not unhappy.The fact that it 1s the seat of Government is something in itself.The city is centrally situated, Is well supplied with hotels and lodging houses, and offers many attractions to visitors, As the parliamentary home of the party it is well worth a visit by all good Liberals.In the month of June it 1s one of the charming resorts in Canada.The delegates, then, will be able to combine pleasure with the fulfilment of a very lofty duty.The Liberal leader has never yet met his party in caucus assembled, and this call to meeting takes on something of the nature of a personal appeal.Mr, Laurier needs no more seneral appr.bation in the Liberal party than he has already won, but the attendance of a thoroughly representative body of Liberals from every electoral district in the Dominion, trom Vancouver to Cape Breton, in response to an invitation tendered almost directly by him- sell, would be such an expression of confi- denco as could not fail to ba of mutual benefit.This is to be a convention in the fullest genso of the term.From the multitude of counsels the delegates will arrive at that conclusion which in the Liboral interest will be wisdom, They will formulate the details of a policy, which has been already outlined, and they will provide machinery for carrying that policy into effect.It has been said, this is a great undertaking, but It is not too great.Time is the essence of the contract,and no time should be lost.WITH INEXPLICABLE UNCTION The Gazette recites the name of the Premiers of five provinces: \u201cLiberal, Mr.Mo- wat,\u201d ot Ontario ;

\u201cThe comparative strength of materials under different conditions,\u201d last night in the Science Building, Metill.This was announced as one of the lectures in the Sommerville courses, but in reality it was simply a practical illustra.ion of the strength of various substances.The first experiment was the breaking, by hydraulic pressure, of a beam of white pine, 18 by 9 inches thick and several feet long.A pressure of 4860U pounds broke the timber.A block of red freestone similar to that used in construction of the new Board of Trade building, was then placed under heavy pressure, lt burst under à woight of 115,300 pounds.One of the most interesting was pressure on a block of ice wnich withstood 74,000 pounds.lf a perfect block is obtained it will as a rule, withstand a 100,000 pound pressure.Steel was experimented with, and gave interesting examples in twisting and tension.A bar ol iron broke at a power oqualling 51,900 pounds pressure.Several other interesting illustrations of the subject were given, and at the close of the lecture Prof, Bovey was given a vote of thanks by his audience.WHISKY MAKING THEM MUTINOUS, Paris, Tex., March 3l.-Despatches received

NICELY CACGH1 .THEY WERE ARRANGING TO START A RE- YOLUTION IN COSTA RICA, BUT FAILED.Panama, March 3l.-A conspiracy to bring about arevolution was discovered in Costa Rica on the 27th inst., and was suppressed through the energeticand cautious action of the Government.It appears that the conspirators plotted to make an attack upon the cuartel or quarters where the military stores in charge of the quartermaster general were deposited and with the arms and ammunition found to equip the enemies of the government and inaugurate a general revolution.1he leader in the consplracy was Gutierrez, who recently returned from exile, to which he had been condemned on ascount of previous revol against tho government,and who has been impatient to overthrow those who had extended clemency to him on that occasion.The authorities being fully aware of the intentions of the rebels determined to allow the latter to proceed with their plans and capture them In the act of treason.The government was complotely successful.The conspirators made their attack on the cuartel as they had planned and secured ammunition and arms.At this moment they were taken by surprize by the Government's troops.The latter captured the conspirators and also the arms and ammunition of which they had possessed themselves, In order to prevent any further uisturbance the country was placed under martial law.The Government intends to inflict such severe punishment on the offenders as will be a warning to others.Full details of the affair have not been received, but the facts are understood to be substantially as stated, PANAMA CANAL WORK.ARRANGING FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME IN WHICH TO RESUME CONSTRUCTION.Panama, March 31.-M.Mange, agent for the liquidator of the Panama Canal Company, has secured from the

the comprehensiveness of the guarantees demanded by the Government.The company would be required to continue work on the canal without cessation and to forfeit its plant and all its interests on the isthmus in ease of any failure to comply with this requirement, THE POPE'S AUDIENCES.CATHOLIC ROYALTY ATTENDING KING HUMBERT\u2019S JUBILEE WILL NOT BE PRIVILEGED.Rome, March 31.\u2014The Vatican has
