CORRESPONDENT OF THE SPEAKER.An Uprising of Christians in Macedonia is to be the Key Note for the Pescent on European Turkey.London, Jan.26.\u2014A despatch Speaker irom Coustantinoqie, to the says that the work of persecuting the Armenians in | Armenia and 1n Asia Minor, is proceeding as vigorously as before, adding: The Turkish newspapers are evidently under orders to keep up the excitement and it is extremely dificult to get information from the interior.Even Consular despatches have been opened in the past and very few Armenians are allowed to come to Constantinople.The Sultan believes that Europes will not actively intervene, \u201cOne contingency, however, gives the Sultan anxiety, If the present crisis is prolonged, it is not improbable that there will be troubles in Macedonia in the spring, and if they are serious, Bulgaria, Greece and Servia will inevitably be involved and the Eastern cjuestion will be raised in its most acute form.I have evidence that such a contingency is in the mfnds of some of the statesmen of Europe, as well as in that of the Sultan, for there is a revival of the discussion respecting how the remaining European territory of the Sultan including Cons stantinople, can best be disposed of\u2014 whether it would be best for Austria to come to Salonica; how much of Macedon® and Thracr should be given to Bulgaria; what should be given ta Greece; how Albania will be disposed of, and what will be done with Constantinople, The answers which L have heard recently to these questions are much more ration al and satisfacfory than any I have heard in past years.\u201d ARMENIANS CONDEMNED TO DIE.Constantinople, Jan.26.\u2014The Court of Cassatoon has confirmed ihe judgment of the Court of Erzinghiam, rendered on November 15th, by which twenty-four Armenians were condemned to death and thirty-four others were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment.The decision of, the caused strony feeling among the Armenians, especially as it is feported that the condemned mens will be executed forthe with.SIGNIFICANCE OF TEE SITUATION.London, Jan.26.\u2014If certain Liberal newspapers, which profess to be inspired, are expressing the genuine desires of the Government the Eastern question is about to be revived in its most acute form.The trus meaning of the recent persistent Armenian agitation is now De- coming disclosed in the bold assertions of those journals that the time is ripe for the ejection of the Turks from the European fold.Viewing the subject in this light, the present anti-Turkish crusade very, clearly possesses a greater practical significance than was attached to the Bulgarian atrocities which yielded so much political capital to Mr.Gladstone nearly twenty years ago.The excitement of that period was fomented by the Liberals mainly with the object of embarrasing the Government of the Earl of Beaconsfield, and the coming moment is undoubtedly associated with policy contemplating an Anglo-Russia entente, At any, rate it appears to be directed towards preparing the public min for some decided if not grand rehersal of the English policy in the East.The key to the Eastern position is not now Armenia, but Macedonia.As the plan is understood, it is in Macedonia that mines are laid for \u2018the insurrection which it is intended shall involve Bulgaria, Servia and Greece in an active dispute for a division of the territory of Turkey in Europe, finally leading the great powers to intervene, According to an article in the Speaker, which is supposed to disseminate the ideas of the Liberal Ministers, the Macedonian question will probably soon become a barninz one, and its solution will finally dispose of the rule of Islam in Europe.How much of Islhm\u2019s domination is to remain in the Asiatic territory of the Sultan will depend upon the action of the Commander of the Faithful toward Armenia.The correspondent - of the same paper writes, upon what he asserts is unquestionable authority, that the Sultan is aware of the fact that European statesmen are discussing the question as to the manner in whi¢h the territory of the Porte in Europe, including Constantinople, is to be partitioned among the powers, together with the oft-repeated question whether Austria shall be allowed to come to Salonica.He is also aware, according to this authority, that there is a revival of the questions as to how much of Macedonia and Thrace shall be given to Bulgaria, what proportion of Albania is to go to Servia, and what part shall fall into the possession of Greece.These are old questions, and doubtless the Sultan so re- garis them, but all the same he is compelled to be alert even when a \u2018\u2018chestnut?\u201d is sprung upon him, for he cannot tell whethen or not it is loaded, According to the programme, the signal for the explosion is to be given in Macedonia by an uprising of the Christians there.The inhabitants of this faith are in a majority in that country, and b:sides they have friends close at hand who are ready to take their side in any contingency.It is assumed by the writer in the Speaker that the powers will not use force to prevent Bulgaria, Greece and Servia from taking part in a revolution in Macedonia, and these propositions put into the form of threats may be partly aimed at the Sultan in order to coerce him into assent to an Anglo- Russian policy in Armenia.Whether there is any good ground for this act tion on the assumption that there has been a wanton or wholesale slaughter of Christians in that province, it cannot be as vet definitely learned.The reports from that region are still as conflicting as ever, and the means of obtaining information that can be relied upon are quite as difficult as at the outset.Nevertheless, there is every indica tion that a crisis of the greatest international importance is imminent, growing out of the present aspect of things in the East.PORTE STILL REFUSES.Constantinople,

Ministers his message, which will be read by M.Ribot in the Chamber of Deputies, and M.Trarieux in the Senate to-morrow.Prime Minister Ribot has decided not to make à formal Ministerial statement, but

Socialists are aimed especially against M.Ribot.The fourth will be on the question of the Southern railways.The introduction of the Amnesty Bill by M.Trarieux, will also give an opening for an expose of the Government\u2019s views, The Bill will deal with political offences, and.also with offences in connection with strikes.The Cabinet has decided that the Ministry of Worship shall be reincorporated with the Ministry of Public Instruction.it is stated that General Jamont declined to accept the war portfolio, and that it has been offered to General Herve, who is now stationed in

order to \u201cMy Army:?\u201cFor the twenty-fifth time the memorial day comes round of the great war which was forced upon the Fatherland and which after a path of victory without parallel brought it to a glorious ending, fulfilled Germany\u2019slongings, and, as the noblest recompense for her sacrifices, created an unshakable foundation for her greatness and welfare in the federation of her princes and peoples.With touched hearts we glorify the mercy of the Almighty that He blessed our arms in such{meusure of tull sympathy.I think of those who in the sacrificial strife for Germany's honor and independence cheerfully yielded their lives, and I express renewed thanks to all those who co-operated to the attainment of this eud, hut I especially tender my thanks to my army, which together with the troops of my illustrious allies, strove to excel in heroic deeds Its bravery is inextinguishable ; the gle .m of its deeds on the pages of history is unfading, and round its colors is the wreath of glory.Upon it, before all, the duty falls of preserving the memory of that time among the generations enjoying the fruits of its victories.To this end I ordain in order to grant my troops a visible symbol of their proud memories that from July 15 to May 10, 1896, wherever the colors and standard to which my graud- father, the great Emperor aud King,granted distinction for particip»tion in this war are displayed, they shall be decorated with oak leaves, and that the first \u2018guns of those batteries which fought in the contests shall be wreathed with similar leaves.May my army remain ever mindful that only fear of God, tidelity,and obedience, can render it capable of deeds such as those that made its own and Fatherland\u2019s greatness.VILLIAM, I.R.\u201d

defrayed by the Emperor\u2019s private purse.CHIEF ARPAGH DEAD The Injuries Sustzined at the Globe Fire Proved Fatal Toronto, Jan.27.\u2014Richard Ardagh, Chief of the Fire Department, died this

ADDRESSED TO THE AMERICAN EPISCOPATE.Bishops Requesied to Torn Aside Workingmen\u2019s Associations From Law Breaking.Rome, Jan.27.\u2014The Papal Encyclical addressed to the American Episcopate was made public here to-day.In the document the Pope recalls the facts that he associated himself with the celebration of the fourth centenary of the discovery of America, the evangelization of which country was the first cure of Columbus, and which evangeli- zation was reulized by the Franciscan and Dominican monks and the Jesuit fathers, After pointing out that the first Catholic Bishop in America wus a great friend of George Washington, father of his country, the Pope shows .how the episcopal councils aided by the breadth of view and the equity of American laws assured the development of Catholic institutions, It was to coutribute still more to this development that the Pope founded the University of Washington, for it was of importance that Catholics should be in the front rank in sciences, even modern sciences, provided they were one in integrity und faith.To this end His Holiness expects the Bishops to do all in their power to cucourage Lhe progress of she University at Washington, as well as of the North American College at Rome.With regard to the Apostolic delegation, the Pope states that it was instituted with a view to drawing closer together the bonds between the Catholics of America and the Holy See without in any way curtailing the powers of the bishops.His Holiness urges the American episcopate to put an end to strife, to \u2018 instill the idea of unity and the perpetuity of marriage among the faithful, and to inculcate among the people civil and religious virtues.In particular, the Pope calls upon the bishops tojturn aside workmen\u2019s associutions frem law breaking, to teach journalists respect for religion amd truth, to reprove those journals which pass judgment upon episcopal acts and finally to turn Protestants to Catholicism by charity, by instruction in doctrine, and by leading an exemplary life.In conclusion, His oli- ness: recommends the sending of a mission to the Indians.CARNIVAL A SUCCESS Over 10,000 Visitors were in Ottawa During the Week.Cttawa, Jan, 26.\u2014The Carnival closed to-night with the hockey match.It is declared hy all to have been a great success.The outside visitors to the Ottawa winter carnival during the present week have numbered at the lowest estimate 10,000 people, the same number as wag claimed by the last Montreal carnival.Members of the Transportation Committee agree on -.at figure, and feel justifiable pride in the success achieved by their efforts.Amcng the 10,000 are not included farmers from the surrounding district who visited the capital with their wives and families.If numbers, therefore, go to make up success, and they certainly contribute in a large measure, the Ottawa carnival Las Deen connected with anything but failure.The special excursions from Quebec, which arrived yesterday uy the Canada Atlantic Railway, together with the regular trains over the same road, brought into the city fully two thousand strangers.By Canadian Pacific Railway, yesterday, another fifteen hundied visitors arrived.A special leit by C.A.R.for Montreal and Quebec last night, at hali-past ten, with several hundred passengers on board.ROBBED THE ACTORS.Their Roonis Cleaned Out Daring the Hotel Vendome Fire.New York, Jun.26.\u2014The fire at the Hotel Vendome on Thursday was the occasion of one of the coolest, most systematic and sweeping robberies ever carried out in this city.While the shivering guests were all crowded in the hotel cafe in scanty raiment, rejoicing in their escape from the flames, every room in the house was ransacked, and rich booty in diamonds and other jewellery, money, and all kinds of valuables looted.Beerbohin Tree, the actor, visited police headquarters to-day, and entered a complaint, but refused to discuss his losses.Other actors have offered rewards for the return of valuables.It is thought that the fire and the robberies may have been the work of servants.Philadelphia, Pa., Jan.26.\u2014Marie Burroughs, the actress, was robbed of a dia- mand brooch, two diamond pins and a gold watch on Friday night, at her hotel, and, strangely enough, did her best to keep the affair a secret.A Pointer for Candidates.§ Toronto,

unseated a few days ago for treating voters did this, but the court is of the opinion that paying just .lchts is not corruption.This point has been reserved from the trial, and is now decided in favor of Mr Tucker, but as the decision oi the Judge at tue trial on other points stands, Mr, Tucker is still minus his seat.He will appeal to the Court of Appeal.Newspaper Love Feast, Toronto, Jun.27.\u2014A unique newspaper banquet took place last evening at the Walker House, when the staffs of the Globe and Empire dined together.The Globe has been printed in the, Empire office ever since

to the little kitchen, where the shrieks of an agonized infant could be heard.Entering the room, the minister was horrified to see a wild-eyed woman, with dishevelled hair standing over a stove, trying to force the body of a naked infant into the fire box.Already the little one\u2019s limbs were pressed against the live coals, and the sickening odor of scorching flesh was overpowering.The man hurled the maniac mother back from the stove and grabbed the child.After a struggle he gained possession of it, and giving it to the first woman, told her to flee for her life.Then running to the door he hailed a policeman, who put the maniac under arrest.Her name is Mrs.Gotel, and her insanit was brought on by brooding over spiritualism.Her husband is employed in the Central Car Shops.She hud exhibited no signs of insanity until after the birth of her babe.She will be sent to the Insane Hospital.The babe is so severely burned that it will be crippled for life, if it does not die.The

2 MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 1895.A COAT OF WHITEWASH .NEATLY APPLIED TO THE VICTORIAS BY MONTREAL.OTTAWA DEFEATS QUEBEC AFTER A HARD STRUGGLE.The Argyle Snowshoe Chab\u2019s Steeple chase-Ottawa Curiers Defeat the Heathers\u2014Sporting Gossip of All Sorts.The Montreal and Victoria hockey teams met for the first time this season at the Victoria Rink on Saturday night.Montreal won hands down by five goals to none.Ever since the first few flakes of snow came shimmering down from an apparently cloudless sky, ever since the first few spears of frost crept timidly out from the edges of wayside pool, ever since there died away the echoes of the last cheer after the last football match, the eyes of the sport loving public of Montreal have been turned to the contest between the Montrealers and Vics.Other hockey matches there have been, but these have been valued only as they bore probable weignt on the issue of Saturday\u2019s contest.At the beginning of the season the prospects of the Vics were rosy indeed.They defeated Ottawa with comparative ease, and they made a better showing against Quebec than did Montreal, but the Montreal management, wise in its generation, strengthened the team with an infusion of old blood, and how well this re- suited is to be judged from Saturday's match.Fur days before the match its outcome was the one topic of conversation among the younger generation.Men discussed it with some show of calmness, but those fair partizans who seldom forget and never forgive, lost patience in discussion and simply paraded the blue and white of Montreal or the maroon and white of Victoria that the world might behold and know.That the rink would be crowded was a foregone conclusion and the management, with one eye on the treasury perhaps, raised the price of admission to dity cents and reduced the admission to the gallery to twenty-five cents.Of course there were a great many people there, conservative estimate would place the attendance 1,500, kut then there were a great many more peopie who were not there, though, to be sure, so patent a fact as this will prove nothing.It wus claimed that ticket holders who paid sc-en dollars\u2014many of them merely for the hockey matches\u2014were not getting fair treatment when the general public could go te each match for à quarter ahead.Robbing Peter to pay Paul has always been regarded a8 an irregular method of settling accounts, but it has been left for the directors of the Victoria Rink to discover that the proper manner of satisfying Paul is to rob Peter\u2014 and then hang on to the proceeds! With an almost Gilbertian humor the powers that be, in order to satisfy everybody, doubled the price oi admission.The simple expedient of reducing the price of season tickets apparently foiled to suggest itself.Fifty cents admissirn, with another fifty for a reserved sea\u2019, is too much to pay for the privilege of sitting inside the finest cold storage warehouse ever built.The mere fact that so many hundreds or thousands are willing to pay the price is not sufficient justification for the aetion of the directorate.; The views of many enthusiasts who did not attend might be expressed in a parodied version of the refrain of a now popular song : \u201c I don\u2019t want to go to your rink, Just a hockey match to see, Don\u2019t mind coughing up a quarte But a half\u2019s too much for me.As I'm not a ticket holder - I won\u2019t go there any more, I'll wait a day and read the Herald's Full account of game and score.\u201d The match was simply magnificent, and the Montrealers won for the very simple reason that they were very much the superiors of the Vies.It was a bitter disappointment to the Vics and their supporters alike, for they went into the contest with hopes very high, but even disappointment could n6t blind their eyes to the fact that the boys of the winged wheel outclassed them.lt was a hard, fast match, and it was considerably rougher than crequet, but- té the credit of both teams be it eaid that intentional foul play was a rarity, while only once was bad feeling shown.To Barlow und Calllns in particular much credit is due.Barlow played little back of the forward line throughout\u2014something of a modification of the Quebec idea of playing two cover points.He played a» aggressive forward game, but it was while on the defensive that he shone particularly.He was the mystery that the Vics\u2019 forwards could not solve.Time and again he stopped those brilliant rushes, and returned the puck to the other end of the ice.And his play was as clean ag it was clever.Collins was simply im- prognable.He stopped all sorts of impossible shots, and played with a coolness and judgment that were admirable.Routh and Hodgson were never in better form.Their attacks were well planned, and their passing exceedingly accurate.To the precision of their shooting the ewminary will testify.Both of the Mussens played good honest hockey.It wasleftfor Cameronto distinguish himself by playing a foul game throughout.He made it quite evident that he was laying for Shirley Davidson, but the Victoria man did not resent this until the second half, wien Mr.Cameron got very little change buck.He was ruled off four times during the match.About the kindest thing to say ot the Vics is that they were away out of form.À bad attack of rattle set in just as the referee blew his whistle for the start and it lasted just one hour, with time taken out for stops.Drinkwater\u2019s game was like the measels, it broke out in patches.Now he would make a brilliant run, but the next miudte he would be skating over the puck, missing a puss or performing some other equally aggravating piece of poor play.MacDougall played a hard but ineffective game.Rankin was decidedly oft.Of the forward line David- jon alone was sure, yet even he lost his head in the second half and tried to get even with Cameron by fouling him, Tle provocation was undoubtedly great, but the referee had his eye on Cameron, and Davidson\u2019s record or clean play is so good that he should not part with it easily.The last time that Cameron was sent off Davidson should have accompanied him.Grant and Elliott did not seem te have arranged which was point aud which cover point.Their work was much marred by their failure to keep their positions.Hartland MacDougalls place was tnenvitable.He stopped many éwift shots neatly, and he played with good judgment, but it would have taken three goalkeepers to have kept out all the shots that Montreal sent in.\u201c Mr, Bignall made a model reteree.He was prompt and fearless in his decisions at all times.He gave general satisfaction.\u201c A word to the speetators.There was altogether too much hissing and hooting.The Herald has mentioned this matter before, and has no desire to dwell on it, but every effort should be made by honest sportsmen to suppress the practice.The manner in which Cameron was hissed.reflected very little credit on the Victoria's -~ supporters, for it is at least fair to assume that they were responsible for it.The teams were: MONTREAL.VICTORIA.Creer arenas Goal.H.MacDougall Point.Gran Cover

MATCH.Excitement in the rink had reached a fever height when Mr.Bignall skated out upon the ice with his independent air.The match opensd with a series of exchanges at long range.Hodgson made a dangerous run, taking the puck in the rear of the Vics\u2019 goal.Grant relieved, and for an instant the Montreal goal was in danger from Drinkwater, but Collins sent the puck out.Barlow passed to Hodgson, who ran up and shot.MacDougall stopped with his skate, but Hodgson immediately swiped the rubber through.The second game opened all at the Vics\u2019 end.Twice only did the puck travel toward the Montreal goal and both times Collins returned.Hodgson ran up, avoided Grant and Elliott by passing to Routh,who scored.Two games in six and a half minutes ! .The Montreal crowd wanted to turn handsprings.The Vics missed many an opportunity during the remainder of the half.Rankin kept running over the puck in his haste to get it to the Montreal end.Drinkwater made a bad miss and Mussen returned.Some time was lost in patching up Clare Mussen, who was hurt in a collision with Bob MacDougall, The fast play at the opening beguu to tell on both sides and the game slowed down a little.Then the Vics braced up a little and made a brilliant attack on the Montreal citadel.The puck went right into Collins\u2019 feet, and instantly a scrimmage forined.The spectators could see little except flying sticks and limbs, but at last the puck appeared on the ice.Cameron had thrown it out, and for this breach of the rules he was sent off.A strong rush by Montreal looked dangerous for theVics.Routhshot, but the puck struck the pole and went aside.Drinkwater was sent off for bodying Cameron, who had no sooner come on than he was sent off again for fouling Davidson.Elliott and Mussen also joined the spectators for unnecessarily rough play.The half ended without further scoring.The second half opened with a Vie rush, which Collins stopped.Some nondescript play by both forward lines followed, then Routh made a run up the side and scored.The Vics were obviously loosing heart.Several times they attempted rushes, only to fail at the crucial moment or to be stopped by Barlow.Mussen made a pretty run, dodged the Vics defence aud passed to Routh who scored.The fifth game was a long one.The Vics were clearly out of it but they died hard.They were on the defensive nearly all the time but occasionally had opportunities for making things interesting at the Montreal end.Cameron wassent off, for the third time, for tripping Rankin.Elliott spent five minutes on the side for cross eheckipg Routh, Drinkwater recovered his usual form, and made & run all the way up the rink, finishing with » hot shot, which the calm Mr.Collins stopped and returned Bob MacDougall was the next to see how a hockey match looked from the side, and while he was off the Montreal forward line came up with a grand rush.There were a couple of sharp passes, and Hodgson had scored again.» In the little time that remained the Montrealers took things easier.Davidson made two good runs apparently more for the purpose of getting even with Cameron thananything else./After one of these encounters Cameron went off again.Grant and Routh had a little altercation and they too joined the spectators.The Vics brightened up and made several shots which Collins stopped with ease.The timekeepers\u2019 whistle was the signal for a wild burst of applause.\u2018I'he Montreal enthusiasts, justly proud of the teams\u2019 work, rushed on the ice and surrounded the victors.Collins was bounced so often that his interior economy must have got all tangled up.So ended the big match.Montreal now has a very fine line on the championship again, but the Vics are seeking some melancholy satisfaction in the thought that they have still another chance.Summary : TIME.34 mins.3 mins.14 mins.4 mins, 13 mins, WON BY SCORED BY OVE Lo ED (Special to the Herald).Ottawa, Jan.27.\u2014Just a year ago the Ottawa Hockey Club defeated Quebec by } to 0.Saturday night the teams met at Ridean Rink in a championship match and the Ottawas were again victorious by the same score.The match was a heart-breaker at that, but not because the score was so close, but on account of the unexpected delay of two hours at the start, caused by the non-arrival of Referee Wall, of Montreal, who was delayed by the heavy snowstorm.When he telegraphed his inability to be on hand at eight o'ciock the Ottawas suggested another official, but Quebce would not hear of it.Telegrams were sent to President Jack at Montreal, to have him appoint another party.In the meantime the clubs exercised on the rink, aud at 9.30 there was no answer or any signs of a match taking place.At à few minutes to 10 o'clock Quebee\u2019s Captain consented to the appointment of a new official, the choice falling on Lieut.-Henry Panet, of Quebec.At that time every onc present was tired and impatient, and not a few left before the expiration of time, as it was well on to midnight when the contest was officially declared over and won hy the Ottawas.Neither team scored in the first half but honors were slighdy in favor of the home team.Quebec's defence was equal to the many rushes, however, snd repelled the attacks with rare good Judgment.Smith, Russell and Kirby made themselves very conspicuous in forcing the fight for victory, and Scott and Cahill played equally as brilliant in relieving danger which gen erally vhreatened their flags.Russell and Kirby made a particularly fine sweep down the ice once, and Kirby shot a hot one, which those in rear of the flags said went through.It looked much like a game, but Umpire Dunn, of Quebec, decided otherwise, and his decision was final.For so doing he was forthwith released from further duty, and C.Panet, of Ottawa, replaced him.In the remaining few minutes\u2019 play Ottawa kept their opponents on the defensive, but could not score, and so the half ended with a blank to both teams\u2019 credit.The second half was more in favor of the Ottawas.They continued as the attacking party and generally had the advantage.Young vnce lifted the puck from centre.It bounded back from the rear of the flags and Kirby quickly ten: it past Stocking scoring the first and only game of the match in seven minutes.The baiance of the battle was desperately fought by the opposing teams.Quebec picked up a little und sent a few shots to Chittick just to remind him they were in the game, But he relieved faithfully, some of his stops being cleverly done, Towards the finish Smith and Swift bad à tussel on the ivd and both were ruled off for good.Whan only 40 seconds remained to play, Quebec made a dying effort to score.Bcott exhausted himself and laid down on the ice and was carried to his dressing rooms, where fifteen minutes were occupied in bringing him aveund.Quebec nearly sgored in the last few seconds, but that was all, and so Ottawa won the match byl to 0.The teams were: OTTAWAS.Chittick Pultord.Young.Russell.MeDLouga Kirby.ce Smith.do Referee.H.Panet, Quebec.The Carnival Military Hockey Series.(Special to the Herald.)

lackey take a message, bidding him to go to Ferret\u2014and remembered, too, where that blood had come from.I looked at the cut now, ard, finding it nearly healed, sprang in my saddle, Of a certainty this paper had gone through my hands that day! It had been among the others; therefore it must have been passed to Ferret inside another when I first opened the bag! The rogue, getting it and seeing his op- .has betrayed him.\u201d | + portunity, and that I did not suspect, had | doubtless secreted it, probably while 1 was attending to my hand.I had not suspected him before, because Y had ticked off the earlier papers as I\u2019 handed them to him; and had searched only among the rest and in the bag for the missing one.Now I wondered that I had not done so, aud seen the truth from the beginning; and in my impatience I found the leagues through the forest, though the gun was not yet high and the trees sheltered us, the longest I had ridden in my life.When the roofs of the chateau at length appeared before us, I could scarcely keep my pace within bounds.Reflecting how Mme.de Verneuil had overreached herself, and how, by indulging in that last stroke of arrogance, she had placed the secret in my hands, I had much ado to refrain from going to the king booted and unwashed as I was, and though I had pot eaten since the previous evening.However, the habit of propriety, which no man may lightly neglect, came to my aid.I made my toilet, and having broken my fast standing, hastened to the court.On the way I learned that the king was in the queen's garden, and, directing my steps thither, found him walking with my colleagues, Villeroy and Sillery, in the lite tle avenue which leads to the garden of the Conciergerie.À number of the court.fers were standing on the low terrace watching them, while a second group lounged about the queen\u2019sstaircase.Full of the news which J had for the king, I crossed the terrace, taking no particular heed of anyore, but greeting such as came in ny way in \u2018my usual fashion.At the edge of the terrace I paused a moment before descending the three steps; and at the same moment, us it happened, Henry looked up and our eyes met.On the instant he averted his gaze, and, turning on his heel ina marked way, retired slowly to the farther end of the walk.The action was so deliberate that I could not doubt he meant to slight ne; and I paused where I was, divided between griet and indignation, a mark for all those glances and whispered gibes in which courtiers indulged on such occasions.The slight was not rendered less serious by the fact that the king was walking with my two colleagues; so that I alone seemed to be out of his confidence, as one soon to be .out of his councils also, I perceived all this, and was not blind te the sneering smiles which were exchanged behind my back; but I affected to sce nothing, aud to be ahsorbed in sudden thought.It a minute or two the king turned and came back towards me; again, &s if he could not restrain.his curiosity, looked up so that our eyes mgt, This time I thought that he would beckon me to him, satisfied with the lengths to which he had already carried\u2019 his displeasure.But he turned again, with a light laugh.OU EYES MET.At this a courtier, one of the Sillery\u2019s Creatures, who had presumed ou the oc- \u20acasion so far as to come to my elbow, thought that he might safely amuse himself with me.\u201cI am afraid that the king grows older, M.de Rosny,\u201d he said, smirking at his compansons.\u201cHis sight Seems to be failing.\u201d \u201cIt should not he neglected, then,\u201d I said, grimly.\u201cI will tell him presently at vou say.\u201d .tae fell back, looking foolish at that.at ta very moment that Henry, having wen another turn, dismissed Villeroy, 0, Wiser than the puppy at my elbow, greeted me wish particular civility as he Passed.Freed from him, Henry stood a moment hesitating.He told me after- Wards that he had not turned from me a Tard before his heart smote him;

partly on the ground that if I were there the queen might suspect me of inspiring the man, and partly because I thought that the rogue would gntertain a more confident hope of pardon, and be more likely to confess, if he saw the king alone contrived to keep Sillery also; and He-ry giving the word, as he mounted the steps, that he should be back presently, the whole court remained in a state of suspense, aware that something was in progress but in doubt what, and unable to decide whether 1 were again in favor or now on trial.Sillery remained talking to me, principally on English matters, until the dinner Lour; which came and went, neglected by all.At length, when the curiosity of the mass of couriers, who did not dare to interrupt us, had been raised by delay to an almost intolerable pitch, the king returned, with signs of disorder in his bearing; and, crossing the terrace in half a dozen strides, drew me hastily, along with Sil- lery, into the grove of white mulberry trees.There we were no sooner hidden in part, though not completely.then he threw his arms about me and embraced me with the warmest expressions.\u201cAh, my friend,\u201d he said, putting me from him at last, \u201cwhat shall I say to you?\u201d \u2018I'he queen is satisfied, sire?\u201d \u201cPerfectly;

neither the legitima- tion of the child which she soon afterwards bore, nor the clemency which the king\u2014against the advice of his wisest ministers\u2014extended to her brother Auvergne, availing to expel it from her breast.How far she or that ill-omened family were privy to the accursed crime which, nine years later, palsied France on the threshold of undreamed-of-glories, I will not take on myself to say; for suspicion is not proof.But history, of which my beloved master must ever form so greata part, will lay the blame where it should rest.JTHE EXD.ter Purify your blood, tone up the system, and regula.e the digestive organs by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla.Sold by* all druggists.THE OXFORD CAFE, UNIVERSITY STREET, is the place for stall fed Mal- peque Oysters, bleeding fresh, 25¢ a dozen.Lunch from 12 till 230.Meals a la earte until midnight.Eveything first-class.The Herald Office will be open every night till ten o°clock, and on Funday cvenings from eight till ten o'clook to receive advertisements for the morning issue.Ads after that hour should be handed into the editorial depart- ment, where they will receive proper attention, THREE RECIPES.Delicious Corn Pone.The ingredients are two coffee-cups of cornmeal, ons quart of milk, four eggs, one tablespooniful of drawn butter, one teaspoonful of stlt and one teaspoonful of sugar, writes Mary Safiord in we February Ladies\u2019 Home Journal, Beat tbe eggs thoroughly;
