M.Leyques, Minister of Public Institution; M.Poincarre, Minister of Finance, and the Prefect of the Seine, M.Leyques had a long conversation with M.Casimir-Perier, the result of which is not known.There was no suspicion here that the President contemplated resigning, and when the news spread to the clubs, cafes and boulevards, there was the, greatest excitement manifested.M.Jean Paul Pierre Casimir-Perier was elected President of the Freuch Republic at Vearsailles on June27, n uccessionto President Carnot, who was s.abbed to death on Sunday evening, June 24, in the streets of Lyons by Cesario Santo, an Anarchist, who was afterwards executed.Only one ballot was necessary.The vote stood.Casimir- Perier, 451; Brisson, 191; Dupuy, 99; General Fevrier, 53; Arago, 27; scattering.32.The combined membership of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies is 881\u2014300 Senators and 581 Deputies.Of these 877 were present, but 24 did not vote.As Premier, M.Casimir-Perier developed considerable strength: but, an unexpected issue suddenly overthrew his ministry and the impression gained ground that he bad \u201cridden for a fall\u201d in view of the fact that M.Carnot\u2019s term of office as President of the Republic was approaching an end and the rame of Casimir- erier.was being strongly brought forward 8s a candidate for the presidency, The Premiership wae then assumed by M.Dupuy, who had succeeded him as President of the Chamber of Deputies and M.Casimir-Perier, it is claimed, began to lay his plans to succeed AL.Carnot.Being a rich man and of aristocratic family, he guve magnificent receptions and splendid dinners and so conducted himself that \u2018his strength politically increased every day, with the result that when President Carnot Was &ssassinated he was practically the only residential candidate in the field.As President, M.Casimir-Perier carried out the line of policy which had marked his previous career in publie.He stood for the epublic against Socialists and Anarchists and was believed to be gifted with strength of character enough to hold out against political combinations, But the result does Dot seem to have justified the expeclations rare him, and he has resigned without ently mokine A , .Rte Y making any fight against his It is difficult at this moment to understand the real reasons which prompted M, Casimit-Perier to resfizn.On November 4th, M.Gerault Richard was sentenced to Serve a term of ope year\u2019s imprisonment and to Pay a tine of 4,000 francs, for publishing an article in Le Chomard Strongly reflecting upon Presidpnt Casi.fou Perier.This aroused a very bitter celing, as the publication referred to as I many quarters looked upon as being Othing more than a legitimate though Possibly too strongly worded criticism, Consequently, on December 23rd, when a the action was held to fill a vacancy in on ot constituency of the thirteenth ict of Paris, M.Gerault Richard was po vu 2s a candidate and headed the rio th 1,802 votes, but he failed of ; On as his Opponent, M.Navarre, poil- got 1338 votes and the other candidates à mat en More to prevent his receiving bart ity over all.Conscquently, a re.Jams Was taken two weeks later, on as ao 6th, Gerault Richard for M.A by 2,742 votes to 1,037 cast didate, rt Felix, the Government cap.tarortly afterwards, on January 10th, in the Ch a discussion of a heated nature tion of amber of Deputies on the ques- prison hs \u20acasing M.Gerault Richard from a meni view of his having been elected Premier 5 of the Chamber of Deputies, and would rte declared that his Ministry the Ch Sign if his release was voted Ly resign Aber.ee _ Premier's threat to Proposal desired effect, and the Deputy ai M.Millerand, the Socialist er ÿ, that M.Gerault Richard be re- to 2g,\" pue ete by a vote of 309 is saté to ban the debate on the motion Perier ve ave affected President Casimir- th 'Y strongly and he fretted under \u20ac criticisms which were sh ed im.On Janus showered upon Duties js ry 12th, the Socialist De- against th.EL a nranifesto protesting = he defeat ot M.Millerand\u2019s mo- olently attacking the Ministry \u20ac majority of the Chamber of De- But there was still another mat- ;

to defend order by all constitutional means and to seek inspiration in the example of the lamented Carnot, but to his deep sorrow he found he pleased no party and was attacked on every side.The attacks varied in form, but all showed personal ill will.The Ministry will meet in the morning and consult with M.Casimir-Perier on the changes that they deem desirable and to take steps to secure order.The chief candidate for the Presidency is M.Brisson.Congress may desire to reelect M.Casimir-Perier, but as he is sick of the Presidency he will in all probability refuse to put himself forward.Of course, some surprising election may occur, but iL seems to ine that M.Brisson\u2019s chances are very strong, there being such a general conviction that & man of unblemished integrity and exemplary home life is more needed than ever.° - M.Waldeck Rousscau is spoken of, but he has against him the fact that he wix a very important member of the Cabinet of 1883, which hurried through the rallway concessions, for which M.Raynal\u2019s impeachment is demanded.I have just hea.d that M.Dupny wants M.Challemel Lecour to be a candidate.He, however, dislikes the idea.London, Jan.16.\u2014The times, this morning, in an editorial on the French situation says: *\u2018If M.Casimir-Perier was convinced that he accepted the only alternative, it must be allowed that he made the only honorable und dignified choice, but if he has abandoned his post through mere impati- aece or personal disgust he will be rightly adjudged to have incurred heavy responi- bility in the eyes of hia contemporaries and in history.\u201d \u2014\u2014 The Water Rate Proposition, To the Editor of the Herald: Sir,\u20141 see that Mr.Kobb, the uty fireasurer, Is out again auing his 1a- vorite hobby, that whereas he anda jus stan find it ditfhcuit to collect the water rates from the poor tenants, fursootn, 11 Should be sinnited on to the proprietors.1 don\u2019t know 1! \u201ctr, KODD 1s à property owner, but 1 tluni: not, for otherwise 1 opine his zeal to relieve the tenants and his oftlicers, Irom what he secms to look upon as an odlous tax, would take a fimerent turn.Mr.Kobo says the landlords could easily coflect wie rate monthly with their jent and oluer taxes.11d he ever try t¢ collect 1icnt and taxes?1f so he will no doubt have found out that it 1S not so easy te do so, As for tenants in the smaller houses paying taxes it 1s a thing ot Lhe past.In tact with reduced rents, losses from dishonest tenants \\.anks to Mr.David's exemptior Bill)taxes; insurance, repairs and hard times, the present or prospective outlook for landlords is not of the brightest, and I think they are already suffici»ntly handicapped, add to this the increases of valuation and taxation; I think it is tune to cry a halt to municipal extortion, and in the face of all on comes Mr.Robb who proposes to double the taxes by taking on the water rates to the already overburthened owner, It is a wonder that he cannot fied or suggest a remedy by which his poor tenants could get their baker and butcher bilis paid by someone else, as well as their water, which they drink and wash with.Verily the thing is too absurd for serious discussion, and I think Mr.Robb will find it difficult to convince our civic rulers and the public of the justice of his suggestions.Query?How do the adjoining municipalities collect their water rates?A LANDLORD.Montreal, Jan.15th, 1895._\u2014_\u2014 Named for Mis Calling, Thomas Stiff is not the inappropriate name of an undertaker whose signs is dis- Tiayed over the door of his establishment in Sumimn.\u2018avenue, near the live Corners, Jersey City Heights.\u2014New York Herald, Mill Gléls Attire, A now effort at woman\u2019s dress reform is being made by the managers of coti ton mills at Saco, Mo.Because of the accidents that have occurred through the bair or dress of operatives being caught in the machinery it has been ordered that the girls shall not wear their hair hanging down, but musi coil it close to the head, and the waists and sleeves of their dresses must be close fitting, the latter, of course, being opposed to anything and everything at present stylish, 7 POWER TOPROHIBIT PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURES HAVE NOT THIS RIGHT.THE SUPREME COURT RENDERS ITS JUDGMENT TO-DAY, A Province Can Pass a Local Option Liquor Law.(Special to the Heraïa).Ottawa, Jan.15.\u2014In the Supreme Court to-day two rendered.There\u201d were Justices Taschereau, Gwynne, Sedgwick kad King.Chief Justice Strong is disposed and Judge Fournier on sick leave, The first case was that of Huscn vs.South Norwich.A by-law was passed by the Township of South Norwich in Un:ario in favor oi local optiou.\u2018 This was done in accordance with an Act of the Ontario Legislature giving such pow- £rs to municipalities.The by-law was afterwards quashed, This judgmient was reversed and the validity of the by-law was sustained by the Court of Ap- xals irom which judznent, Huson appealed to the Supreme Court, To-day this appeal was dismissed with costs.Justices Strong, Tascherean and bournier gave judement to that effect, while Justices Gwynne and Sedgwick dissented, tho result, at ail events, is that the Court hds decided that sit Uliver Mowat\u2019s legislation is constitutional, and.that une Province has ne righe to pass a local option fai.Lhe reference submitted by the Donunion Gcv- ernment in regard to the whole matter ot prohibition arising out of the above case, was heard by Justices Strong, Fournier, \u2018 ceigt of price.Line per foot, lic ulleys per palr, 70¢;

why had she been so quick to yall for help that luckless day on the Palazzo stairs?Ah, why had Ino returned that evening?And the very thing which at the time had seemed a providence, now appearet to her as ty- pat to her of the strange irony of ate.Presently he moved slightly, creeping m little nearer to her with something of the shy longing we sometimes see expressed on the face of a dumb animal.And the woman at the window rose and arme toward them, the tears streaming down her honest cheeks.- tll povero signor!\u201d wants to be moved.\u201d And with her strong arms she lifted fhini tenleriy close to his companion, and laid him with his head aginst Bene coetia\u2019s shoulder.She had bern young ffoc\u2014abh, yes! when she had wandercd through the ilex groves upon the slopes ci Tivoli with her Giulio many, many dears ago, when her cheeks were round nd smooth, and the down had but just begun to grow upon his upper lip.She had listened to the nightingales, as they pari alons, side by side, amonz the drepening shad«ws of the overhanging walks; and there had been a look in his eves as he bent toward ner, whispering passionate words of Jove and constancy, like the look now filling the young signor\u2019s eyes.So, without a word, she raised him tu» and placed his head where Giulio\u2019s head had often lain; little doubting, fram the expression of anguish on bena- Cetta's face, that the signorina loved hin' as\u2014it was easy to see\u2014he loved ter.And so for long there was silence in the quiet room), when the daylight entered more and more fully to light up ithe three motion'ess figures; a silence so intense that the ticking, Of the little marble clock upon the mantel-piece sounded strangely harsh and loud.The Sun was now risirg, and there was stir sufficient in the streets, where the early housekeeners of Rome were already starting on their morning errands: but the Eculptor's rooms looked out upon tne other side, upon some garcers, where Bcaclas swayea soitly to ana tro and where a faint scent rose up trom orange frees; and here there was ao sound of tre outsidé town.Presently Benedetta stretched out her hand to reach the cordial which was to be given at stated intervals to the wounded man; and, having swallowed dhe liguid, Ino looked toward her with jleanirg M his eyes, gently touching her hand, and at the same time luting cne of his own fingers\u2014a finger on which Sparkled a gem of consider: ble value, It was a diamond ring that hal been given to him by a Florentine magnate, to mark his apnrobation of some artistic work which the young man had car- Tied out with unexpected success.Divining the thought in his mind, she drew the ring from his finger, and saw by his face that she had, understood him Tightly, Then she paused, \u2018 \u201cLor whom?\u201d sne whispered.He answered nothing in words; but, with à feeble hand, tried to place toe ewel upon one of her own fingers, Seeing that nis strengtn was Insum- Fient even for this slight efiort, and oa he Would not he happy unless she 5 Out his intentirms, she herselt Slipped it on her slender middie finger.Why should she thwart hun?A diamond, of whatever value, was of litilc moment to her new.There were no friends, she well knew, so dear to Ino as the Maes- Yo and nerseli; neither had the young Beulptor any earthly relative lett who Might in after-days accuse he: ot rob- she saîd, \u201che bing then of the dead man\u2019s possessions : He should have his own way ROW in this as well as in at ything else he chose to ask.She merely bent and Dressed her lips to the pale brow that in the d awning brightness of the sum- Mer day seemed to grow more and more kkin to the cold fleshiess appcarance of one of his own marble statues, But, dying though he were, her kiss pad power to bring a faint flush into Colorless cheeks, and =z gleam of foy into his eyes.A moment later he Fpoke for the first time, \u2018 \u2018May God bless you both!

Inspection Act.\u201d Another member also mentioned a case where the Government made a similar concession.The Dominion Millers\u2019 Association have seemingly adopted views similar to the foreguing as they have appealed to the Government to have the wheat brought in free of duty.Of course they are working in the interests of the Ontario millers and the consumers.Meanwhile the Ion.N.Clarke Wallace, Comptroller of Customs, has received pumerous petitions on the matter.In replying he has admitted the fact that a quantity of Canadian wheat has already been received in Ontario from Buffalo, but has in his official capacity prohibited further importations, pending the decision of the Council, before which he has laid the gues- tion.It is estimated on good authority that there is are the least 350,000 bushels ot Manitoba wheat in Buflalo including the 150,- Q00fbushels which have already been bought for Canadian millers.\u201cThere are 1,000,000 bushels of No.1 hard Mauitoba wheat here, and 800,000 bushels at Boston\u201d says Mr.Crowe of New York.\u201cAbout 1,000,000 bushels of this wheat has been shipped since Christmas, at which rate this stock will all be shipped out by about March 1.I believe there are about 300,- 000 bushels in Buffalo which will go back to Ontario mills.\u201d Local dealers have reason to believe that the estimate of 800,000 bushels representing the stock in Boston is a \u2018wee bit high.\u201d Boston \u2018only carries a little over 1,000,000 bushels, ail grades included.GRAIN TRANSPORTATION.apr AN IMPORTANT LETTER ON THE SUBJECT FROM MR.JAMES CAMPBELL, Editor of the Herald : Sir\u2014In a letter which I addressed to the press calling attention to the grain transportation question, I asserted that it was cheaper to transport Manitoba grain in American than in Canadian vessels, and that that was the reason why Manitoba wheat went in such quantities to Europe.via New York; that our authorities at Ottawa prohibited American vessels carrying wheat from Fort William to Ogdensburg for transhipment to Montreal; that the number of Cenadian vessels was very limited and were therefore in many cases unprocur- able for the export trade at the critical moment.£a support of this contention allow me to submit to your consideration the effect of À.H, DORAN.loaded at Fort William and another at Duluth, both vessels were of about the sam® capacity and loaded at the same timo by the same shippers.For the American vessel from Duluth 4îe a bushel was paid, the vessel paying the Canal tolls; for the Canadian vessel from Fort William, which is the ouly cluss of vessel vermitted to freight to Kingston, the shippers had to pay 44c a bushel und the Canal tolls.I wish to show the difference in cost of transportation from Manitoba to Montreal via Fort William and via Duluth, and shall take as the initial point a rate, of freight that is the same iu both cases.Per Bush.the Canadien route, say 18c per 100 bs., to Fort

charges from Ogdensburg or Kingston to Montreal Leing the same.I may add that at the end of that month freight from Fort William to Kingston by Canadian bottoms could not be hud at any price by exporters.Duluth rates to Ogdens- burg were at the same date 4c, and these same hoats could have been chartered from Fort William to either Kingston or Ogdens- burg at that rate of freight, but Ottawa would not permit a clearance.In the face of the above example there ought to be little dfficulty in finding an answer to the question why grain prefers the American route.I re-assert that with the great number of American, ard the limited number of Canadian vessels pro- cureble, it 1s cheaper for buyers and sellers to cultivate the American route, either via Buffalo or Ogdensburg, Montreal will watch with interest this purchase of Manitoba wheat in Buffals.If the point be made that this identical grain hod been freighted to Buffalo in Canadian bottoms, a new use hus developed for our marvellous fleet of twelve vessels.Montreul, 15th Januery.JAMES B.CAMPBELL, BONSECOURS MARKET.Things were quite active at the market this morning with the attendance of buyers quite large, owing to

PEIAL WIRES T0 8 NEW YCRK AND CHICAGO MONTREAL W.H.WARREN 88 TEMPLE DUILDING.TELEPHONE 9313, Business Germs For Advertisers.When to Advertise.JOHN WANAMAKER is the greatest retail advertiser in the world.He spends more moncy for advertising than any other retailer in the world, and he never fools away a dollar of it.His advertising methods are, therefore, worthy of close scrutiny by those who wish to learn the important lesson of where, when and how to advertise profitably.You who have watched his advertisements this winter must hava noticed that in the busy scason before the holidays they Were comparatively small, bat that since tho new yeat began they have been extraordinarily large.For a month before Christmas, when many merchants wero spreading out in full page displays, Mr.Wanamaker's ads went on in about the same space they had filled since September.But as soon as the holiday trade was over and many merchants drew down to small space, or ceased altogether, this clever advertiser increased his space enormously.Indecd, we beliove he has never before in the same number of consecutive days used as much newspapor space as he has used thus far in this generally dull month of this extraordinarily dull winter.This means something.It means that the greatest retail advertiser in the world has learned that the tite to push trade is when trade needs pushing.The time to advertise is all the time.The time to put forth special efforts is when people won't buy withont being especially urged to do s0.\u2014\u2018\u2018Brains.\u201d How much to Spend In Advertising That is a question which I am frequently asked.The last inquiry was put in such a way that I feel sure the answer will interest many others besides the inquirer.Ho states the case this way: **We have been spending $2,500 a-year for advertising in the two papers we use.Last year we did à business of about $175,000.Duriug December we spent about $450, or at the rate of $5,000 a year.Now, the question is whether it will pay us to continue at this rate or not ?\u201d We will suppose that the gross profit on the goods sold is 25 per cent., that this is the difference between mere cost and selling price irrespective of expense.As a matter of fact, it will cost about.the same to handle and sell $175,000 worth of goods as to sell $185,000; so that if $2,500 additional advertising will increase the \u2018sales more than $10,000, there would be a gain in profit.If less\u2014a loss.On the other hand, it may be $2,500 harder to sell $175,000 worth in '05 than it was in °94.If sales will drop $15,000 with the regular advertising, then it would be better to double the advertising and keep the sales at their normal figure.Advertising should be considered thé same as medicine and should be taken as needed.In the case stated I prescribed as follows: Take % space contract to be increased at pleasure, during the year.Then keep close watch of the sales.Make a schedule of last year's sales by days, weeks and months, and enter against it each day's sales as they come this ° year.Make each week, and, as far as possible, each day, answer for itself.If you see on Tuesday that Monday's and Tuesday's sales are going to be less than last year\u2019s, put a good, strong ad in Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning papers, and keep up the treatment as long as it is needed.That's the rational way to advertise\u2014the way to make it pay.Don\u2019t merely occupy your *\u2018space.\u201d Don\u2019t say that you'll use three inches double for a year, but make up your mind to beat last year\u2019s business if you have to use twelve inches double.Business is as susceptable to good advertising as the human body is to good medicine.Youdon\u2019t say, \u201cNow, I'll spend 850 for doctor's bills and medicine this year, and no more.\u201d Not a bit of it.When you get sick you don\u2019t dicker with tho doctor at all.You say: \u201cGet me well as quick as you can,\u201d and you take your medicine like a little man without inquiring the cost.It costs something, of course, but it can\u2019t be helped.It doesn\u2019t do any good to grumble about it.The question is whether you want to get woll, or not.| That's the way business and advertising should be considered.Don\u2019t understand that 1 mean to advocate unlimited and promiscuous advertising.I donot\u2014any more than I would advise you to fill yourself up with a lot of patent medicine when you don\u2019t need it.Judicious advertising may mean two inches or two pages.It is bad to use too much space, but it is worse to use too little.And space isn\u2019t all of it either.What you put in it counts fora preat deal, and how you put it in for a great deal too.First\u2014Have something to say.Second\u2014A place to say it in.\u2018Third-\u2014Say it in the right way.\u2014Charles Austin Bates, in \u201cBrains.\u201d Applied to you.Sir, It stands thus\u2014 1st.\u2014If you were not a

many odd things sbout him that it would take a long story to tell them all.First there are his eyes.They are very large and round and stick out like big beads from the side of his bead.And he has the ability to turn them ln all sorts of different ways, so as to see all about him.He can turn one up and the other down, or one forward and the other back, and so see the smallest insect In any direction.It cannot escape those wonderful eyes when the chameleon is looking about for a dinner.The skin of the chameleon is loose and he can swell it out into queer shapes, and he has some peculiar property of this skin whereby he can change it from one color to another, generally becoming the color of the tree or ground upon which he is walking.Then his feet are of such peculiar shape that he can easily hold on to the branches of the trees upon which he is walking.And in this business of climb- Ing and walking trees he is much assisted by his tail, which is long and prehensile like a monkey's, enabling him to hold on while climbing from branch to branch.The chameleon has also a queer tongue.It is nearly as long as his body.thin'and sticky.Whenever he perceives a good fly or bug he darts out this long, funny tongue and captures his dinner without turning from the spot where he stands.This strange little animal lives in Africa.For many years little was known about him, but on account of his odd traits and queer habits very curious stories were told about him in the oldentimes.And the little fellow himself was regarded with an absurd awe, just because pobody under stood

CLERGY.Duties of Ministers\u2014Mission Faunds\u2014 State of the Diocese, The thirty-sixth Synod of the Diocese of Montreal was opened \u2018yesterday in Christ Church Cathedral, when His Lordship Bishop Bond delivered his annual charge to the clergy of the diocese.There was a large atteudance of members of Synod and the general public.During the religious portion of the service the Bishop, Dean aud Chapter sat within the Coumunion rails.His Lordship, speaking from the words : fA sower went forth to sow,\u201d ete., said : \u201c Wherever spoken of the seed is to Le considere vital and sound, able to spring up and bring forth abundantly.We who ave met here to further the work of the Church are the sowers of the Word of God, the perfect und living seed so entrusted to our weak, human hands.We require to sow it broadcast.Que office is ancient, dignified, and responsilile, and our duty simple and clear.We are to preach the Word in season, out of season.By this I understand without cessation; no rest allowed in this honarable labor.In our lives as well as by onr words we are to be continually mindfal of our high and holy calling, not only in the public services of the church but in Private visitation, and the home life we are to be at all times ready to make known the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.I have spoken of our duty as simple and clear, but I must Gualify these words, I speak to men who know that human infirmity often tenders that difficult which in itself is simple and perfect.The ministry of the werd, I believe, supposes experiences, supposes personal devotion and self-sacri- fice, and above all faith in God and faith in the power of the word.Broadcast sowers as we are, we are not invited to tast the seed to the birds of the air.On the contrary, it is right to use judgment in the selection of the ground.In the nature of things, some seed must, in our eyes, be lost; but the good ground is what is to be acsired, and, when found, is to be ap- preciÿted and worked.In thisduty of sow- iug ! wish to be understood as in- ctuding all the active duties of the ministry, preaching, teaching, public services, private ministrations, and it is to the last I now call your attention.There ave few duties of the parish which are so unsatisfactory as house to house visitation, especially in this age of advanced thought.The clergyman wishes to be true to himself and to his sacred calling, but he does not desire to intrude uninvited into personal peculiarities of thought and view of his parishioners, Often it happens that where he would be the teacher he must assume the attitude of a learner, and he learns patience if nothing more.Whatever the diversities of religious habits and tastes he must be ready at all times to sympathize with their joys and sorrows.He majgstrive to overcome his own ignorances and prejudices as well as those of others so that he may become in ali exigencies the Minister of Christ.\u201d lis Lordship dwell on the difficulties experienced by clergymen in praying while visiting.Accustofned themselves to speak asa child to a father, they felt in public that they were before an audience, and were fearful that some of their immature aspirations or imaginings would be taken for the word of God.Doubtful of their efficiency some men solved, or thought they solved the difficulty by having recourse to manuals of devotion which in most cages were meagre, weak and unsatisfactory.The Church of England minister has not to look abrgpd for the help he needs, as he has in his hand a manual which embodies the pure Word of God.It contains suitable forms for all occasions, the Psalms in full and selected portions of Scripture.The forms enrich the pastor with thoughts and words sure to establish most profitable relations between visitorand visited, It was of course quite necessary for the Minister to be familiar with the subjects of the Offices, that his memory should be well stored with the intention and the words, sc that they would come at once to his memory aud be rightly and intelligently applied, The fact that the selections ot Scripture used are in the public services, secured that the pastor's remarks would come back to his people and stir up fresh interest in the public services, Having this manual the pastor would never lack words to teach the young, greet the happy, encourage the sick, strengthen the dying, or console the Christian mourner.Coming to the business of the Synod His Lordship said: \u201cThe Executive Committee will submit a report that the executors of E.E.Shelton are prepared to hand over a certain portion of property belonging to the estate for \u2018the use of the Mission Fund.At the same time the property requires immediate outlay before it can bear any revenue.Whatever the income, for some time it will have to be expended on the property, and thore may be an actual charge on the Executive Committee.Unfortunately the Mission Fund has no surplus, but is overdrawn, and your energies will have to devise as to the property, which, if wisely treated, will be ultimately of great value, though at present it may cause great anxiety.Phe Executive Committeeexpended much time in endeavoring to bring up the stipend of missionaries to the Canon.They have been in a degree frustrated in their laudable efforts chiefly, if not entirely, by the lack of the honest meeting of responsibilities by the people of some parishes, thus failing in their duty.I hope the Synod will see their way totake action to remedy this wrong, seeing that in some instances the wrong is very marked.In the course of the year the diocese received a bequest from the late Henry Ogden Ambrose for charitable uses in the diocese, the determination of those uses being left solely to the Bishop.I thought it right partially to endow the only institution which is wholly under our cure, thereby -putting the Church Home on a safe footing for the future, and giving it the dignity which it deserves and which the loyal work of the two generations which have built it up deserve.Thisendowment will give an income of not more than $1,400, leaving abundant room for benevolence on the part of the members of the corporation of the Church Home and our people generally.The rest of the bequest will go to form a home for immigrants, to be known as the Ambrose Home.The Corporation of the Ambrose Home has duties as yet undefined, but a good property has been obtained, and I hope to have the Home open before the opening of navigation.This institution is among the church work of the Synod, and 1 ask for it a favorable consideration among your works of mercy.I continue to find pleasure in the career of the Montreal Diocesan College, under its Reverned Principal, Canon Henderson.For the first time in the history of the diocese all missions have been efficiently supplied with ministers, and the men coming out have the true missionary spirit ot devotion and energy which, with God\u2019s blessing on their labors, will in time due time bear the fruit of righteousness.I am pleased to record the missionary spirit of the diocese in maintaining the Outremont mission, keeping a native agent in Madras, contributing to a clergyman in Moosonee, and giving £50 annually to the Mackenzie River mission.I pursue my usual work of parochial visitation with much satisfaction, and, I trust, profit.Since the cold weather set in I have been assisted Dy my friend and brother in \u2018faith, the Bishop of Moosonce, whose episcopal ministrations, I am happy to say, have been acceptable to the parishes.1 have been able thus to give full attention to church work in the city, which has this year demanded attendance at meeting necessary to the building up of the Church on its material and external ; ffis Lordship gave particularsof confirmations, opening of new churches, the needs of the Widows\u2019 and Orphans\u2019 Fund, and spoke of the work of the Montreal Diocesan Auxiliary Women\u2019s Society, Dunham Ladies\u2019 College, and the Girls\u2019 Friendly Society.The diocese had been faithful to its duties in the cause of temperance.In conclusion he said: \u2018\u2018Consecration to the good of others will surely be followed by rich spiritual blessings to yourselves.The promise of Christ to His Church in all ages is: \u2018Lo, Iam with you always.\u2019 Believe in Him, long for Him, look for Him, and surely he will reveal Himself to your souls.Follow after peace and holiness.They are the living, active virtues nourished by a spirit of truth.Submit your spiritual life to the influence of the Holy Spirit, that your own soul may ripen and mature, and in the maturity of your religious life the life of the church shall enlarge.Each one of us is the centre of a circle of influence widening for good or for ill, ever crossing and being erossed by influencesoffellow-inen, sometimes helping, sometimes hindering.Let us each pass to our work and frout the world as one at war with every form of evil, but diligently seeking truths purity and peace.\u201d The sacrament of Holy Communion was then administered, Rev.Canon Norton officiating.THE BUSINESS SESSION.The business of the Synod was opened at two o'clock in the Synod Hall.The Right Rev Bishop Bond presided, and opened the proceedings with prayer.The roll was called by

General Synod should supersede the Provincial Synods, which should only be called when specially required.The Synod of Toronto forwarded a resolution, re.affirming their conviction that Provincial Synods were desirable.These were laid on the table.Archdeacon Naylor submitted the report of the Committee on Diocesan Sunday School Associations.It was suggested that a Diocesan Suuday School Association should be formed with the object of bringing together the clergy and teachers and furthering Sunday School work; that a travelling agent be appoimed; that an annual day of intercession Le held for Sunday Schools; that quarterly and annual meetings of the Association be held.À draft Canon was submitted for consideration, Canon Andérson read the report of the special committee on the

amendment to the Canon proposed by Canon Norton in regard to the division of the parish of Montreal.At this stage Bish p Bond drew attention to the presencé\u2019on the wall behind him of the large portrait of the late Bishop Ful.ford, which has been presented to the diocese by the son of the late Canon Bel- cher and framed by A.F.Gault.The delegates rose as His Lordship referred to the donation.\u2018 The following Canon for the election of delegates to the General Synod was adopted on the motion of the Chancellor, seconded by the Dean: \u2018The Diocese of Montreal being entitied to be represented in the General Synod of the Church ef England in the Dominion of Canada by four clerical and four lay delegates, this Synod shall elect by ballot, at each annual session thereof, eight clerical and eight lay delegates (the clergy alone voting for the clerical delegaies and the laity alone for the lay delegates), and the four delegates of each order receiving the highest number of votes shall be the delegates to said General Synod, und the next four highest of each order, fuilowinx in order, shall be the substitutes of such of the said delegates as shall, from any cause, decline, neglect or be unable to attend said General Synod.\u201d The Synod next proceeded to the consideration of the Report of the Executive Committee.The mission grants for 1895 were voted on the

Hall yesterday morning.The The presiding officer was Mr.Ecrement, the Town Clerk.It is alleged by Mayor Dagenais and Councillor Dudevoir, that Mr.Ecrement\u2019s proceedings were, to say the least, open to question.For the mayoraity, the present Mayor, Mr.H.Desjardins, and Mr, A.Belair, are nominated, but Mr.Desjardins claims that he ought to have been elected by acclamation inasmuch as Mr.Belair\u2019s requisition was signed by nine people, of whom six owed municipal taxes.In the East Ward Messrs.J.A.Caron and J.B.Houle was nominated, but the same objection is raised against Mr.Caron as against Mr.Belair.In the West Ward Mr.David McQuaid was elected by acclamation, but in the Centre Ward a peculiar state of things obtains.Mr.IL.Renaud\u2019s requisition it appears, was by miss take made out for the East Ward instead of the Centre.This being pointed out to him at the last moment, he set out to get another signed, but this was not finished tiN three minutes past eleven, the hour for closing.Now, his opponent, Mr.Emile Racine, claims that he ought to have been elested by acclamation, and Mr.Ecrement had some hot thinzs said to him, and the paruies very nearly came to blows.The elections, if any are held, will be next Monday.Notre Dame de Grace.The elections for the Counciàù of Notre Dame de Grace came off very quietly yesterday morting.In Notre Dame Ward, Mr.D, J.Decarries was elected by acclamation, as wag alse Mr.john G.Bro- die, in East Ward.Both these gentlemen have been members of the Council for eighteen years past.In the St.Pierre Centre Ward there
