most remarkable sermon was preached at the Quebec Basilica last night by Father Royer against modern immorality.\u2014The Niagara Falls Park report shows that the bonds authorized by the statute to be issued sold at a preminm, $525,000 of bonds bringing in $534,667.\u2014The Ontario Government have introduced a bill, which, if passed inte law, will require councils in Scott Act counties to pay all the costs of Scott Act enfor.e- ment, so long as there is any fund from fines for this purpose.\u2014À young man named Marshall, a clerk in Fisk & Cos8 leather store, St.Roch\u2019s, Quebec, while going to his dinner to-day, was struck down by a furiously driven horse and so badly injured that his condition is very critical.\u2014The woman Loclerc, who has become notorious through her connection with the St.Sauveur tragedy, has been persuaded by the Oblat Fathers, of St.Sauveur, to retire to the Good Shepherd\u2019s Asylum for the next six months.\u2014~General Middleton, in his annual report, says the strength of the force should be reduced and the duration of camps increased to 16 days.He thinks the infantry schools would be benefitted by a well organized canteen, where \u201cgood\u201d beer is obtainable at almost cost price.\u2014 Another hitch is reported between Sir A.P.Caron and the Quebec corporation, the former as Militia Minister refusing to pay the $300 per annum charged by the city for the water supplied to the new drill shed, and the latter declining to turn on the water till he consents.Result : Great discontent exists in local military circles, as the two city battalions and the artillery batteries cannot begin their annua! drill until the dispute is arranged.EUROPEAN.\u2014A despatch from DMassowal says three chiefs with fresh contingents have joined Rassaloula\u2019s forces.\u2014It is rez orted that an engagement has occurred at Saati betweeen the Abyssin- ians and the advance posts of the Ital- iane.\u2014Mr.Justin McCarthy, speaking at Nottingham, said he thought the Home Rulers would again accept overtures from the Conservative party.\u2014Count Tolstoi, Minister of the Interior, has submitted to the Ministry a bill to prohibit peasant proprietors from selling the holdings granted to them when serfdom was abolished.The Council of the Empire rejected a similar bill in 1885.\u2014The Prefects of the Departments of Loire, Marne and Loiret, where by-elec- tion for members of the Chamber of the Deputies are pending, have informed the Government that a Radical committee, centred in Paris, have determined to nominate General Boulanger for every vacancy.\u2014A man has been arrested in Coleraine County, Londonderry, who had a quantity of dynamita in his possession.He declares he intended to use theexplosives for quarrying purposes, but the police believe they have caught a conspirator, and that his arrest will lead to important disclosures.The man was subsequently released.le clearly proved that the dynamite was designed for blasting purposes.The explosive was forwarded to its destination under the escort of the police.AMERICAN.\u2014A\\ Honduras paper says that yellow fover bas broken out among the scldiers

Troubles.Wixxireeg, February 22.\u2014Dr.Wilson sent in his resignation of his seat in the local Legislature to Speaker Glass to-day.Mr.Lariviere positively denies he has resigned, and now it is stated that the rumor rose from his intention to contest Provencher for the Commons, when Mr.Royal was appointed to the Lieutenant- Governorship of the Territories.Mr.Greenway, at a banquet at Cartwright last night, was well received.He outlined the history of the Liberal party in Manitoba since its inception and the platform as then brought forward was now endorsed by the people.He briefly spoke of the errors of his predecessors in Red River Valley and Hudsons Bay railway transactions, and guaranteed that the former would be in practical operation by October 1st.He pledged himself to a system of rigid economy in the civil service reform, dispensing with deputy ministers and various unnecessary deparmental Inxuries, and also outlined a redistribution which he said would be at once introduced into the House, giving more equitable representation to the electorate of the Province, and at the same time introducing a franchise bill virtually equivalent to manhood suffrage.lle briefly sketched other judicial and municipal reforms which the Government proposed carrying out, after which he promised an immediate appeal to the country.Notice is given of an application to the Dominion Parliament by the Manitoba Government to construct a railway and passenger swing bridge across the Assiniboine River within the City of Winnipeg, and a railway and passenger swing bridge across the Assiniboine at or near Portage.Further details of the robbery of Tax Collector Railton, near Indian lead have been received.lle was attacked by two highwaymen on horseback.They were armed, and ordered \u201chands up,\u201d he refused, and they fired at him.This scared his horse and he was thrown from his rig.Other shots followed.Finding Railton unarmed, they kicked him quite senseless, and then robbed him.They then blindfolded him and tied him on the back of one of their horses and led him a long distance on the prairie and left him to his fate.He crawled home more dead than ahve and can just whisper his story.Three assignments of retail men were made to-day, amongst them, Hughes, undertaker, and Peddie, general goods merchant.C.P.Brown denies emphatically he ever stated in a newspaper interview or otherwise that Sir John told him force would be used to prevent the building of a road to the boundary, as telegraphed Fast by some correspondent.His public interview did not contain the assertion attributed to him.LATER DESPATCIL A telegram from Indian Head says the Railton case assumes a different aspect.He denies his first statement, and now says he was drugged and robbed of $960.He contradicts himself and can give no straightforward account of himself.Public opinion is divided and the police are investigating the case.Two men answering the doscription of the robbers were arrested at Regina for the crime, they having arrived by freight train.They visited a barber shop and were shaved and had their hair cut, it is believed they are not the men wanted.AN OPINION FROM HALIFAX.The Treaty a Dead Give Away.Haurax, Feb.22.\u2014The Halifax Chronicle says \u2014\u201c The full text of the treaty seems quite stale since it is practically exactly according to the terms indicated by despatches from Washington several days ago.From the moment that a treaty was announced it was quite apparent to everyone that a surrender must have been made.How could it be otherwise ?The Canadian fisheries are valuable to American fishermen.The American fisheries are of no value to Canadian fishermen.The only compensation there can be granted to Camada for the use of her fisheries is either reciprocal trade or money.Under this treaty neither is obtained, therefore it must be apparent we get nothing.Hence the treaty could be nothing else than a give away.Sir Lharles Tupper scarcely three days ago, declared that all newspaper reports were full of the grossest inaccuracies.Any person at all familiar with the development of events in this continent could only smile at this rubbish.The treaty could only have one meaning and that was a surrender of all our rights in the fisheries without compensation.Now that we have the full text of the treaty, the only thing noticeable about it is the wonderful accuracy with which every provision of the document had been obtained by the newspaper correspondents.There is practically nothing new in it.It is just what we expected nothing more, nothing less.It gives away all the more important fishing privileges of British North America to the Americans without compensation.© The whole matter may be summed up in a nutshell.In 1854 we got for our fisheries an ample treaty of reciprocity.In 1871 we got free fish and #5,500,000.In 1888 we got\u2014nothing.\u201d FROM THE ANCIENT CAPITAL.Glut of Applicants for

Orrawa, Feb.22.\u2014In a letter to the Mayor of Ottawa the Governor-Genaral says the date of his departure has not yet been settled.The report that he will leave Canada in March isunfounded.He recommends that any farewell demonstration be deferred until his plans are more definitely settled.Rev.Messrs.Crossley and Hunter's revival services are creating a sensation here.Sir John attended again last night, and seconded a resolution asking them to remain in Ottawa another week.The argument in the Glengarry election appeal case continues.Mr.Samuel Blake occupied the greater part of the day on behalf of Mr.Purcell, and many think the former judgment will be reversed.ee TELEGRAMS FROM TORONTO.Cancelling Central Bank Notes\u2014Burg- lars at Work\u2014Fatal Lamp Explosion \u2014RBuasiness Troubles.Toroxto, Ont., Feb.22.\u2014At Osgoode Hall, to-day, before the Master in Ordinary J.P.Hodgins, teller, fyled a certificate and affidavit that the circulation of the Central Bank so far redeemed hac been counted and cancelled.The amount of currency destroyed was $583,675, including $70,000 over issue.The keys of the safe, drawers and combination of the vault were formally handed over by ex- Liquidator Campbell to the \u201cdaster.Cracksmen were again at work.Early this morning they broke into the office of William Jones, city contractor, Brunswick avenue, and bored a hole in the safe door, when they apparently discovered that the safe was not locked, the bookkeeper having left it open or forgot to close the combination last night.They got away with $85.The ten-year-old daughter of John Secombe, sword street, was fatally burned last night through the upsetting of a lamp which exploded and set her clothing on fire.J.Palterson & Son, hardware merchants, have assigned with liabilities $12,000, nominal assets $14,000.A CRIME WITHOUT MOTIVE.Verdict of Poisoned by Strychnine.CorovrG, Ont, February 22.\u2014The Coroner\u2019s jury in the inquest on the body of Caroline Heron, at Blockstock, in the township of Cartwright, brought in a verdict at3 o'clock this morning that the deceased had come to her death from poisoning by strychnine, They also found that the strychnine had been administered to the deceased ly Elizabeth Heron who feloniously murdered the said Caroline Heron and that Wm.Heron, Elizabeth Heron\u2019s husband, was an accessary after the fact.Caroline Heron the victim of the murder was a young girl who went to visit her aunt during the Christmastide, while an inmate of the house she was suddenly seized with convulsions and died in great agony, a dog that licked her vomited and expired immediately, and this fact together with other suspicious circumstances pointed to a foul deed.The Herons were placed under arrest and will be brought to jail here to-morrow.Their motive for committing the crime laid to their charge, is not quite clear.PUTTING DOWN A PROCESSION.The Mayor Takes Orders from the Arch.bishop\u2014Is the Procession Illegal ?Haurrax, N.S., February 22.\u2014At St.Patrick\u2019s Cathedral last evening His Grace Archbishop (Brien denounced tbe St.Patrick\u2019s eve procession, which is conducted annually by lads and young men who belong to a number of clubs.To those organizations is ascribed the ruin of scores of city youths.His Grace said they were the means of keeping young boys and girls who ought to be in bed away from their homes on that night.He had spoken on the subject last year, though, perhaps, rather late, and he was sorry to say his words had no effect.Harsher measures will Lere- after be used in the church if the pra: tice is not discontinued.Mayor O.Mul- lin has prohibited the procession and the clubs will probably be broken up by the police.The Go As You Please Craze.BLENHEIM,

Fisheries Treaty has been the subject of much comment here to-day.At the Merchants\u2019 Exchange this morning all averred that the rights of American fishermen had been sacrificed to the interests of Canada.President Cleveland and Secretary Bayard received much criticism at the hands of the fishermen, who declared that the treaty was a disgrace to all American citizens.Regarding the headland clause they said that Fortune bay and other parts of Newfoundland where fishermen have always had the right to procure bait and all necessary articlos of outfit to land dry fish and \u2018to tranship cargoes are by this arrangement practically excluded from them, more especially Fortune Bay which is the great resort for fishermen in the winter season when in pursuit of frozen herring.The drawing of the line from Connaigree Head to the south-easterly end of Brunet Island thence to Fortune Head at Sir Charles Hamilton Sound will debar fishermen from this privilege which they always have had.They object to pay $150 for licenses for privileges which they claim the treaty of 1818 has already given them.The opinion of many persons who have been discussing the subject is that an indignation meeting should be called to protest against the ratification of this treaty which they claim destroyes the last right of American fishermen.REVENGE ON PROHIBITIONISTS, A Clergy man\u2019s Well Poisonedand Dynamite Exploded on his Doorseps, ProyiDENcE, Feb.22.\u2014For along period a war has been waged against liquor sellers in East Greenwich, R.I, by the local Law and Order League, the lead of which was the Rev.O.W.Still of the Baptist church.Messrs.Still and Allen, acting as constables, have made several seizures of liquor lately, and have been threatened with violence.On Saturday night Mr.Allen found a large quantity of arsenic in his well, but in time to prevent serious results, and on Sunday a dynamite catridge was exploded on his steps, but owing to the ignorance of those who placed it there but little damage was done.IMPORTS OF STEEL AND IRON Increasing in Weight and Value.PurcapeLrmns, Feb, 22.\u2014The American Iron and Steel Association has received statistics of the importation of iron and steel and of iron ore into the United States during the past year.The imports of iron and steel in 1887 amounted to 1,783,751 gross tons against 1,098,564 tons in 1886.The

firearms and similar products, the weight of which is not given in the above table, in tle twelve months ending December 31st, 1887, was $56,421,510 against $41,630,779 in the corresponding period of 1886.The value of the imports of iron ore in the year 1887 was $2,200,- 958 and in 1886 it was $1,912,437.WACHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.How It Was Celebrated.WAsHiNGToN, Feb.22\u2014The anniversary of Washington\u2019s birthday was generally observed throughout the city and country to-day.The public offices, Federal and municipal, were closed, and business suspended.Local military organizations paraded.Political clubs held reunions, at whic political addresses were delivered.New York, Feb.22.\u2014There was a holiday attendance at the bench show in the Madison Square Garden to-day, and the garden was well filled all day long.Crry or Mexico, Feb.22\u2014The flags were flying on all the Government buildings and foreign legations to-day in commemoration of Washington\u2019s birthday.THEY WON'T MEAR DR.M'GLYNN.Baptist Ministers Practically Rescind an Invitation to Him to Speak.New York, Feb.23.\u2014The mention of Dr.MeGlynn\u2019s name caused a lively discussion at the weekly meeting of the Baptist ministers at 9 Murray street yesterday.le had been invited by the conference to speak before the ministers on the subject of the \u201c Pope in Politics,\u201d and his letter wasreceived yesterday de- lining to speak on that subject.He stated in his letter that he wished to avoid the semblance of discussing the Pope from a Protestant standpoint, but he was willing and would be pleased to speak on the subject of the religious aspect of the labor movement.A strong opposition developed against having the Doctor speak at all, and one clergyman declared that if the matter were pressed it would result in the disruption of the Conference.The Rev.Mr.Burlingame said he believed in fair play, and if McGlynn was invited then George and Dr.Pentecost must be invited.A motion to extend an invitation to Dr.McGlynn to speak before the conference on nest Monday morning on any subject he chose was offered, but a motion to lay the whole matter on the table was finally carrie! with but four dissenting votes.\u2014\u2014.BROADWAY WINDOWS BLOWN OUT.An Alcohol Jar Smashes on the Hot Radiator.the men resumed work about them.- a S, Carsuey inten-ls to sell ont the balance of the fancy dress material during New York, Feb, 22.\u2014Goorge L.Shiels, a Mexican druggist, has on the northwest corner of Broadway and Twelfth street a little shop with big plate-zlass windows.At afew minutes before 10 » was standing near the soda-water fountain waiting on a na\u2019e customer, the only other person in the store, when a quart bottle of alcohol fell from a shelf in the back of the store and smashed on the steam radiator.The alcohol raa down the hot pipes, and ignited with an explosion that blew out the front windows and madethe bottles dance onthe shelves Mr.Shiels, as soon as he recovered hisbalance, ran to put the fire out, and was burned about the face and on one hand.Mis customers eyebrows were singed.The engine company in Thirteenth street, near Fourth avenue, sent fire extinguishers, and put out the fire just as it had eaten through the single partition into the Misses Donigan\u2019s corset store.The corset makers\u2019 girls were struck with terror at the explosion, and not less frightened were Mr.Shiels\u2019 two prescription- clerks, a Cuban and a Frenchman, whe were at work in the laboratory in the basement.ONE TRAIN MASKED THE OTHER.Two Werkmen Dodged One to be Instantly Killed by Another.New York, Feb.22.\u2014Ludwig Nilsson and Charles Hanson, laborers employed on the new Harlem River bridge, above High Bridge, reported for duty at 7 o\u2019clock yesterday morning, but were told that on account of the rain there was no work.They were walking south down the Hudson River Railroad toward home when they heard a train approaching from the north.The Hudson River track runs beside the New York and Northern track.To avoid the Hudson River train the men stepped upon the Northern track and the next moment Nilssn\u2019s body was hurled twenty feet into the air and Hanson was ground under the wheels of the little Northern rapid transit train which was running side by side with the Hudson River train whose noise drowned its own.The bodies were sent to the morgue, but they will not be buried in pauper graves.Their fellow workmen have started a subscription to Lary them.Nilsson was unmarried.Hanson had a wife and three childrenin Sweden.The engineers were not thought to be to blame for the accident.Both were whistling, and Grant, who ran the Northern engine, had the lever reversed as soon as he saw the men step over on his track, but it was too late.The fellow boarders of the dead men complain that the trains on the two roads race down that part of the track.= \u2014 TWENTY-FOUR HOURS\u2019 GO AS YOU PLEASE.Lez Wearied\u2014Little Spirit\u2014Generous Contributions -Broken Up by the Crowd.NEW York, Feb.22.\u2014During the last hours to-night of the 24 hours go as you please race at the American Institute, but nine of the contestants were on the track.The others had dropped at divers places on the roadside.Of those who remained not one seemed to make any great effort to put miles behind him.Assuming that the issue was a foregone conclusion, Cartwright easily kept his lead which was about eight miles ahead of Day, another Englishman.Dillon proved a disappointment also as he seemed to be satisfied with third place, and did not work very hard to head Day.Cartwright frankly told his reason for not working hard when asked why he did not try to down the record.He said: \u201c We'll get just as much money, whether we break it or not.\u201d \u2018There was but little betting.The dullness of the day was broken by fights at several times and one man, at least, will not forget the race in a hurry.His name is said to be Cunningham and for his officiousness around the men\u2019s quarters he was three separate times pounded by the trainers.Thos.Fisher was arrested and locked up for selling complimentary tickets.The track was in excellent condition throughout the race.Ben Curran dropped out of the race at 10 o'clock completely broken down.His failure in this race and the one in Madison Square Garden left Lim penniless and \u2018the old man was almost heart-broken.Big-hearted Sam Day came to his res:ue, however.Nobly stopping in his run, he mounted a desk in the reporters\u2019 stand and inade Cur- ran\u2019s condition k: own, call'nz fur\u201d suk- 8-riptions and dr.pping a $10 note Intc a bat.Cartwright and Noremac took up a collection, and Curran was about %50 richer as he limped away.He will never be able to run again.At 10,32 o'clock Cartwright and Day left the track.This was a signal for the crowd that further interest in the race was done for, and they, with a wild rush broke down the fence surrounding the track, effectually ending the race even should the other men have had a desire to continue.The score at that time was Cartwright 128 miles 3 laps, Day 122 miles 6 laps, Dillon 115 mile 1 lap, Taylor 110 miles 2 laps, Noremac 104 miles 4 laps, O\u2019Keefe 100 miles 1 lap, Burrill 95 miles 3 laps.The first five men will divide a little over $1,000.The Usual Spring Fleods.New Havey, Conn., Feb.22.\u2014The freshet in the Housatonic River yester- duy resulted in a gorge at Zoar\u2019s Bridge, where the ice was piled up thirty feet high, causing an overfiow which swept away fences and did considerable other damage.Parma, Mass., Feb.22\u2014The disastrous work of the flood throughout this section yesterday is generally conceded to have

Sir James Fergusson to the Defence.Loxpox, Feb.22.\u2014The House of Commons to-day negatived an amendment to the address in reply to the Queen's speech, proposing the creation of à tribus nal on judicial rents in Scotland.À mc- tion to vote the address\u2019 was then approved, after which on a motion that tl e report on the address Le adopted, Mr.Labouchere moved to insert in the report a request that the House be informed whether the correspondence with the Italian Government bound the British Government to interfere in the event cf war between France and Italy.He advised Lord Salisbury to take the eountry into his confidence, as Bismarck had done with Germany.England had every reason to distrust Lord Salisbury, who was willing to drag the country into a war in order to save his policy towards Ireland from criticism.T.e foreign policy of Lord Salisbury was hated towards France (Cries of \u201cNo\u201d) and jealousy towards Russia.The reason he hated France was obvious.It was a republic, progressing and prosperous, without aristocrats, Without royalties, and without hereditary ruling families directing the affairs of State.Parliament must watch a minister so biased and ref se to assent to his mingling in continental matters relating either to territorial or dynastic settlements, even if made in concert with Ete rope.Sir Jas.Fergusson, Under F oreign Secretary, said he could not understand Mr, Labouchere\u2019s purpose in making these statements, which were most mischievous in their tendency and most reckless in their particularity.(Cheers.) Noresponsible siatesman of France would attribute such a policy to Lord Salisbury.(Lear, hear.) Least of all those Frenciu statesmen who had had dealings with Lord Salisbury during his conduct of the fereign affairs of England.(Cheers.) The Covernment would not lay cor- fidential correspondence before te House, but Sir James could react sure the House that no engagement had been entered into with Italy or any other power that was not known to Parliament.He heped the danger to the peace of Europe was not greater, per- hap it was less, than a year ago.He relied upon the House to meet the motion with a simple negative, Mr.Gladstone said he had heard with extreme satisfaction Sir James Fergus- son\u2019s assurance that the Governme: $had conducted a policy of harmony with France.He was content with the declaration just obtained of tle G.vernment's policy.He was confident that no disposition existed on the Liberal side to press for undue disclosures.(Cheers.) He believed that the course taken by Lord Salisbury had been for some time entirely in accordance with sound principles for regulating the foreign policy of England.He earnestly hoped that whatever happened in Europe a unity of sentiment in all parties on the foreign policy would be obtained, thus doubling the moral force of England and immensely Increasing her power when constrained to interfere.(Cheers.) Mr.W.H.Smith congratulated the House on the tone of Mr.Gladstone\u2019s remarks.It was worthy of the ancient reputation of the House and the responsibility attaching to astatesmau who had occupied a high position in the Government.There has always been cordial relations with France, and there was not the slightest ground for the suspicion that anything had been don: to trench upon the existing harmony.(Cheers.) The amendment was withdrawn.THE FISHERY TREATY, Lord Salisbury Satisfied, Loxpoy, February 22.\u2014 Mr.Phelps, the American Minister, had a long interview to-day with Lord Salisbury on the subject of the fishery treaty, the text of which was before them.Lord Salisbury expressed his approval of the substance and form of the document.LORD RANDOLPH ON HOME RULE.Lord Hartington\u2019s Prophecy \u2014 Many Things May Happen.Loxpox, Feb.22.\u2014 Lord Randolph Charchill, addressing the Oxford Union Society to-night, denied that he had called the Irish people \u201c foul fiends.\u201d He had never said and never would say a word bo discredit the Irish people.With regard to the Irish question, was an Irish Parliament a just aspiration of Irishmen ?Did England bave an English Parlig.ment?He had kuown many purely English matters to be decided by Irish and Scotch votes.He reminded his hearers how marvellously Lord Harting- ton\u2019s prophecy on the occasion of Mr.Butt\u2019s introduction of a Home Rule proposal in Parliament had been fulfilled.That 1rophecy was that any co quetting with tbe question by English members would tend 4o dig- ruption, and the loss of more su port from England and Scotland than they could ever hope to obtain from Ireland.The chances of Home Rule being carried, however, were miscroscopical, The present Parliament was likely to last until 1893, Between now and then many things might bappen.The Irish party would probably go to pieces.Where would it be without Gladstone's oratory.The whole praject was doomed to failure, Prince Ferdinand's Con sratut=tions., Roar, leh, 22 \u2014Myr.Menidi, apostolic delegate at Sofia, has forwarded to the ope a letter from Prince Ferdinand congratulating His Holiness upon his jubilee aud expressing a desire to assist in tho propacation of Cathoheism in Bulgaria, -\u2014 ® Will Be Fully Met.Indications of Dyspepsia, such as Sour Stomach, Heartburn, Sick Iteadache Rising and Souring of Food, Wind on the Stomach, or a Choking or Gnawing sensation at the pit of the stomach ;

Subjoined is our usual tabular statement of the import and export trade between the United Kingdom and the Dominion of Canada in the first month of the New Year.Before going into the results, it should be stated that last month contained five Sundays, as did also January, 1887; and, furthermore we may.remark that the trade of January last year showed an expansion over the corresponding period of 1886 of 16 per cent in the exports, and of 47 per cent in the imports.Dealing now with the exports from the United Kingdom to Canada for the past month, we have a total of £427,933, as contrasted with £522,847 in January, 1887, showing a decrease of £94,804, or 18 per cent.No horses were exported to Canada last month, while in January last year the value was only £800.Of articles of food and drink, salt was responsible for a decrease of £641, spirits £122, and sugar (of which none was shipped last month) £605.The falling off in the exports of wool was £3,111, while amongst manufactured or partly- manufactured goods a reduction of £33, 065 took place in cotton piece goods, £2,783 in silk, £437 in ribbons, £375 in articles partly of silk, £3,826 in woollen fabrics, £19,603 in worsted goods, and £3,149 in carpets.Linen piece goods, however, show an increase of £576.Hardware and cutlery were shipped to the extent of £740 less than in «the corresponding period.Coming to iron, we have a decrease of £687 in pig iron, £4,959 in bars, £4,545 in tin plates, and £3,449 in cast and wrought tron; but in railroad there was an increase of £8,687, and in hoops, &c., £393.With regard to machinery, a reduction of £428 took place in steam engines, but an increase of £2,285 in other descriptions.Apparel and slops displayed an increase of £499, while haberdashery showed a decrease of £17,975, earthen and China ware £2,990, seed oil £3,099, and stationery £955.Turning to the other side of the account, viz., the imports from Canada to the United Kingdon, the toial amounted to £64,611, as against £57,373 in January, 1887, showing an increase of £14,238, or 28 per cent.There were no imports of wheat last month, while flour was received to a less extent by £8,125.Of butter also none came to hand, and in cheese there was a decrease of £8434, The fishing tradeshowed, however, much greater activity, £36,109 more being received than in January last year.Of copper, £7,650 less came to hand.As regards the lumber trade, there was an increase of £11,833 in sawn wood.EXPORTS TO CANADA.Month of January.\u2014\u2014\u2014 1887.1888.£ £ Animals\u2014 HOIS\u20ac8.coer vison vans 800 Articles of Food & Drink\u2014 Salt, Rock and White.710 Spirits .oiviiiiieiiiniinn 1235 1,115 Wool.\u2026.0.4,831 1,710 Articles wholly and partly Manufactured-\u2014 Cotton Piece Goods.187,058 101,993 Linen Piece Goods.27,907 28,483 Sitk, Broadstuffs.4,154 2,201 66 Ribbons .2,412 1,975 se Articles partly of.7,715 7,340 Woollen Fabries.73,120 69,204 Worsted Fabries.85,635 66,032 Carpets.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.38 19,187 Hardware and Cutiery.9,406 8,665 Iron\u2014 i 435 ë ve 7,80 2,511 Railroad.3,332 12,019 Hoops, Sheets, &c.\u2026.4514 4 907 Tin Piates.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.13,581 9,186 Cast, Wrought, &ec.12,201 8,752 Machinery\u2014 Steam Engines.903 475 Other Descriptions.3,004 5,28) Apparel, &c\u2014 Apparel and Slops.17,276 17,775 Haberdashery.70 41,735 Earthen & China Ware.7,160 4,170 Oil, Seed.\u2026 7333 4,231 Stationery.srnescsuess 6,085 5,080 £522,847 £427,933 IMPORTS FROM CANADA.Month of January.em 1887.1888, £ £ Animals\u2014 Oxen and Bulls.\u2026\u2026\u2026.\u2026.ooo res Cows.Calves.o.ooue Sheep and Lambs, Wheat Flou 8,147 2 Butter .3776 Cees Cheese .\u2026 7,159 25 Fish, cured or salted.8,160 44,209 Metals\u2014 Copper Ore.8,400 750 Raw Materials\u2014 Wood\u2014Hewn 24 ee 4 Sawn 7,012 18,845 £40,373 £04,611 With regard to the precious metals, no gold was exported to or received from Canada last month, or in January last year.Ofsilver also none was shipped to or received from the Dominion last month, but in January last year £11,334 was exported to Canada.The tonnage of vessels entered and cleared at British ports wish cargoes from and to Canada in the month ended the 31st ult.was as under: January.Entered.Cleared.1888.cco, 8753 9,101 D7 NS .11,996 ENGLISH MONEY MARKET.(Statist, February 11.) The condition of the money market continues to be one of extreme ease, owing to the very large credits at the disposal of the open market.The borrowings in anticipation of the dividend payments this year were less than usual, resulting in a smaller amount of the dividend money being require : toextinguish the market's debt.Revenue payments have been on a very large scale, it is true, the Government balances at the Bank being now upwards of £7 millions, «8 compared with £43 millions a year ago, and a little over £14 millions in 1886.But the money thus placed at the disposal of the Bank has to a large extent become available for the market, owing to the fact that the Bank has been increasing its investmonts in Government securities and also in other securities.While there has thus been an overabundant supply of money, the demand has been restricted owing to the feeling of uneasiness regarding foreign politics.The steadier tone in market rates noticed at the close of last week was maintained till Thursday.Ou that day the directors made no alteration in their advertised rate of discount, but bill brokers decided to reduce their deposit rates } per cent., viz., to 1 per cent.for money at call, and 1} per cent.for money at notice.The question of a reduction had been discussed on the Tuesday and also on the Thursday previous, but without any result owing to the want of unanimity of the discunt houses.Although they had been paying 1} and 1} per cent.for mcney, any amount had been offering to them at $ and 1 per cent.while the rate obtainable on three months\u2019 bank was no more than that they were paying for money.A reduction in deposit rates seemed, therefore, inevitable.Bill rates did not fall much, simply because a reduction in deposit rates had been already discounted.Three months\u2019 bills declined slightly to 14 to 1 5-16, but recovered to 1 5-16 to là percent.Gould movements have been quiet, excepting an arrival of sovereigns from Egypt and a small amount from China.Impurte from abroad have been small.The demand for Holland and Germany has, however, been suilicient to absorb all available supplies.The demand in this market has been principally for Holland, Germany having found it cheaper to supply her requirements in Paris, where small amounts have been picked up in the open market, at 1} per mille premium.Discount rates on the Continent have fallen in Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels, and the exchanges where thers has been any alteration have moved slightly in favor of this country.CANADIAN RAILWAYS.The fall in prices of Grand Trunk of Canada stocks, which continued almost without intermission throughout January, has apparently about run its course, and this month\u2019s markets have settled down at the lower level, with repurchases on any fractional decline.The weakest stock has been second preference, which has this week ranged between 7 and 8 points below the top price at the beginning of the year.Guaranteed stock has, on the other hand, been comparatively firm ; indeed, the present quotation is higher than that at which the year commenced, and there has been some absorption of debenture issues, more especially the four per cents.The highest price of the four per Cent.Debenture Stock early last year was 914; the price at the time of the war scare was as low as 854, and the present quotation is about 913.The traflic so far this year has been very disappointing; but then the weather has been exceptionally severe.It was severe last year, but it has been worse this year.Rumours have been circulated that the shippers of dead meat are agitating for an all-round revision in rates, but friends of the Grand Trunk Company assert that the action of the shippers is unlikely to lead to any change.Little attention has been paid to the fact that the Grand Trunk Company has secured a still further concession with regard to Boston rates, the differential rate having been now increased in its fav ur to 7 cents.The dividend declaration of the company will probably not be known until the first week in March next, it having been declared last year on March 2nd.The market anticipation is that there will be little, if anytning, in excess of the amount required to cover the full distribution on First Preference Stock, which, it may Dbe mentioned, carries £4, inasmuch as only £1 tor the first hali-year was distributed.At one time heavy sales of Canadian Pacific shares were made, and the price fell to below 57, recovering nearly 2 points from the worst.Prices.M.U.\u2014 eee Jan.25, Name.Last Week.This

Dispute England\u2019s Encroachments.A.M.Soteldo, the Venezuelan ex-Min- ister to the United States, arrived in New York Sunday morning upon the steamer Caracus, accompanied by a commission from the Venezuelan Government consisting of Gen.Jacinto R.Pachano, who is Minister of Public Works; Francisco Caballero, Luis F.Castillo and Francisco Carabano.The ostensible mission of this commission is to take charge of and bring to Venezuela the remains ef their patriotic fellow- countryman, Jose Antonio Paez, which are now in the Marble Cemetery, in this city, but it is considered significant that they left Venezuela immediately upon the publication of the announcement of the Governor of British Guiana, Sir Charles Bruce, that the British Government was about to take possession of and retain by force of arms, if necessary, all of the territory of Venezuela as far west as the Caroni River.This vast region, which is known as the Yuruari territory, contains some of the richest gold mines in the world, in which many Americans are interested,and which last year, even with the crude mining facilities under which they have been operated, produced more than $4,000,000 worth of gold ore.The original boundary between Venezuela and British Guiana has long been in dispute, and various claims have been made within the past thirty years to additional s'ices of Venezuelan territory by the British Government, none of which have been officially adjusted, but even the most extravagant ofthese has never included the region upon which Great Britain has now seized.Ex-Minister Soteldo is a fluent English scholar, and has spent most of his life in the United States.He is strikingly like James G.Blaine, but has a somewhat darker skin, and has the cautiously polite manners of an old diplomat.He is one of the advisers of the Venezuelan Secretary of State, and very close to all the members of that country\u2019s present Government.In speaking of Great Britain's action he said : \u201c When we left Venezuela, eight days ago, there was some public excitement upon this question, but as an ele:tion was taking place the Government considered it advisable to keep as much of the news as possible from the people, so as not to confuse the issues before them.The full knowledge of the facts was therefore confined to the members of the Government.The Government had not up to the time I left received official notification from the British Government of the action it was contemplating, and therefore I can only speak in a guarded way of what the result may be.But I can make this assertion, that if the British Government attempts to seize and hold the Yuruari region it will have cause to regret it.Ifit comes go that extremity, British occupation of that territory will be resis\u2018ed by force of arms.Itis not a question of what Venezuela's Government will do, but of what the people's wishes are, and the people of Venezuela will never permit the seizure of any of their property, real or personal, by the British Government.\u201d \u201cYou think, then, that there is a likelihood of a war between Venezuela and Great Britain?\u201d \u201cNo, I donot.War is a resort to barbarous methods, and as a member of the diplomatic corps I believe that all international disputes can be amicably adjusted by arbitration.The people of Venc- auela do not want a war with anybody, but if forced to defend their rights they will do so, and of the outcome of such a conflict I have no doubt.Right will prevail.\u201cWould Venezuela oppose Great Britain single-handed 2\u201d \u201cIf necessary, yes.But you must remember the confederation and brotherhood of the American republics, and this country\u2019s determination and interest to uphoid the Monroe doctrine, which is in a measure a protection of the rights and liberties of all South American citizens against encroachment from abroad.It is not a question of what this or that ofli- cial of any of our government sthinks, but of what the people think, and I am much mistaken ifthe people of the United States would stand calmly by and witness the spoliation by Great Britain of a people who had always regarded America as a friend and protector.Your Government voices the \u2018popular sentiment, and I am therefore assured that when a full knowledge of the opposition that will be made to Great Britain's further progress in this matter comes to the English people, the withdrawal of her claim will result.As I say, however, I do not think things will come toa serious pass \u201d \u201c What force is Venezuela prepared to put in the field at the present ?\u201d \u201cThat I must decline to say.Every man is a fighter there and the valor and bravery of my people has been shown on many a battle-fieid.Spain knows this to her cost.It would be impossible for any foreign power to hold the Yuruarian region against the Venezuelan people.The South American republics are bound together by a moral law and would unite to resist encroachment from abroad upon the territory of any one of them.\u201d General Francisco da Silva, the Venezuelan Consul here, said that from information cabled from London he was led to believe that Eugland was preparing to recede from its position.Up to the time the commission left Venezuela British troops had not yet taken possession of the territory in dispute, but it was thought this step would not long be delayed.The region is a vast one, nearly half the size of the State of New York, and the gold mines form its most valuable pessessions.Most of the mines are owned abroad, and Baring Brothers, of London, are agents fur one of them, whose stock is nearly all owned in England.Almost a third of the stock of the mines is owned by American citizens, and more is owned in France, Germany and Holland.There are 240 British soldiers stationed at Demerara.which is the nearest military port to the Yuruari region.The Venezuelan news to the United States all comes through British hands, as the present cable runs through Timidah, but a new cable which the English do not touch is now almost completed.- ee - FRESH FACTS ABOUT GORDON'S DEATH.Pull Mall Gazette: A special funeral service in commemoration of Gen.Gordon\u2019s death was held Tuesday at St.Pauls, Eaton square, at 5 p.m.There were present about 200 persons, mostly friends of the deceased officer.The Rev.H.Waller, an old personal friend of Gen.Gordon, preached the sermon, and during the discourse read the sworn testi- | mony of one of the loyal sergeants who ! was present at Gen.Gordon's death, which was communicated to Lieut.Gordon, nephew of the late General.This was tu the effect that when Gordon head the rebels in the town he said: \u201cIt is all finished; to-day Gordon will be killed,\u201d and went downstairy, followed by the four sergeants, who took their rifles with them.He took a chair and sat down on the right of the palace-door, the four sergeants standing on his left.All at once a sheik galloped up with some Bagaree Arabs.The sergeants were on the point of firing, when Gordon, seizing one of their rifles, said: \u2018No need for rifles today; Gordon is to be killed.\u201d The sheik toll Gordon that he had been ordered by the Mahdi to bring him alive.go, saying he would die where he was, adding that no harm was to be done to the four sergeants, who had not fired on the rebels.The sheik repeated the order three times, and each time Gordon gave the same answer.After a few words the sheik drew his sword and, rushing up to Gordon, cut him over the left shoulder, Gordon looking him straight in the face and offering no resista ce.His head was cut off and taken to the Mahdi at Omdurman; his body was buried close to the door of the palace and a tomb built over it.ee -\u2014 {> NO FRILLS FOR HIM.A tall, old man, with a rather vacant look and a hesitating air, ventured slowly into the dining hall of a large up-town hotel the other evening in New York.It was the usual dinner hour, and the long room was filled with guests.The old man paused, scrutinized his cuffs and his waistcoat, and, after making what seemed to be a helpless effort to gaze at the back of his neck, he beckoned to the waiter.That functionary hastened up, and the old man said anxiously : \u201c Waiter, do I look all right, tidy, you know ?\u201d The waiter inspected the venerable guest critically for a moment, and then assured him that all was in order.¢* Necktie all right ?\u201d \u201c Yes, sir.\u201d \u201c Collar button show ?\u201d Not at all, sir.\u201d \u201c No spots on my coat?\u201d \u201c Not a spot.\u201d ?The general effect is pretty slick, is it \u201d \u201c Very, sir.\u201d \u201c Well, you see, waiter,\u201d said the old man confidentially, \u201cI came down to breakfast one day last week without any collar, and my son James was very angry ; so yesterday when I came into lunch with my necktie under my left ear, he said if anything like that happened again he would have my meals served up-stairs Do you know my son James pr\u2018 3 ; waiter ?\u201d \u201c Yes, sir.\u201d \u201cIs he in here at dinner now ?\u201d \u201c No, sir; finished about ten minutes ago.\u201d \u201c Are you sure ?\u201d \u201c Perfectly, sir.\u201d \u201c Well, then, waiter,\u201d said the old man in relieved tones, \u201cIf you're certain of it you tell the man at our table to hustle in some corned beef and cabbage, and not to play any of his French business on me, or I'll break his neck.\u201d Le \u2014\u2014 VERY BUSINESS-LIKE.\u201cAre you in earnest, Mr.Hankinson ?The lovely girl who asked this question\u2019 of Marcellus Hankinson sat behind the centre table with her hands in ber lap, and regarded the young man intently.\u2018\u201c In earnest, Irene?\u201d he exclaimed, pale with emotion and chronic dyspepsia; \u201cthe whole happiness of my life is wrapped up in your answer to the question I have asked.If you will trust your future in my hands my life shall be devoted to the task of making you bappy.It will be my sole aim to shield you from the rude blasts of all adversity, to smooth your pathway through the world, to interpose my right arm between you and every danger that threatens to disturb your peace, and \u2014\u2014\u201d \u201cIf I listen to your suit, Mr.Hank- inson,\u201d

things.\u201d \u201cExtravagant! Irene, it will be the joy of my life to provide you with whatever may gratify your slightest whim.You can never make a request of me that I would not rejoice to antizipate and grant beforehand.\u201d \u201c And you would be willing to spend all your evenings at home ?\u201d \u201cMy angel, I never would want to spend them anywhers else.\u201d \u201cYou would never break my heart by joining a disreputable club or becoming a drinking man ?\u201d \u201cHear me, Irene! do either!\u201d \u201cLet me see,\u201d said the young lady, meditativelv; \u201cI think that is all\u2014O!

Why, my own, certainly.Iam even willing to promise to obey you !\u201d \u201cThen, Marcellus,\u201d said the lovely girl, as she lifted a full-grown phonograph off her lap, locked it carefully in a drawer of the secretary that stood against the wall, turned up the gas, and beamed in a sweet yet business-like manner upon the terror-stricken young man, \u201cI am yours |\u201d I promise never to Err's Cocox\u2014GRATEFUL AND COMFORT- 15G\u2014\u201c By a thorough knowledge of the of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well-selected Cocoa, Mr.Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavored beverage which may save us many heavy doctors\u2019 bills.It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease.Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point.We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame.\u201d \u2014Ciril Service Gazette.Made simply with boiling water or milk.Sold only in packages, by grocers, labelled\u2014 \u201c James Eprs & Co, Homæpathic Chemists, London, England.\u201d Sole agent for Canada: C.E.Colson, Montreal.Definite Warning, Neglected coughs and colds so frequents ly produce serious results as to constitute a definite warning.There is no better, safer or more pleasant remedy for Coughs, Bronchitis, Sore Throat, Colds and all throat and lung troubles, than Hay rard's Pectoral Balsam.A Reasonable Hope is one that is based on previous know- edge cr experience, therefore those who use B.B.B.may reasonably hope for a | cure because the previous experience of thousands who have used it, shows it to ' have succeeded even in the worst cases.[a Gordon refused to | natural laws which govern the operations !

en.+ ~ = A 7 THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1888.M'GILL UNIVERSITY.\u2014 What the Annual Report of the Governors Contains.The annual report of the Governors of McGill University has been received.It contains a resume of the changes made in the University during the past year; älsc CIRE Working and present position of the different faculties and several affiliated institutions.The following changes on she Board of Governors are recorded : The vacancies caused by the death of Mr.Justice Torrance and Mr.R.A.Ram- 8ay have been filled by appointing Mr.E.B.Greenshields, B.A., and Mr.Samuel Finley; and Rev.Dr.Barbour, Principal of the Congregational College, takes the seat on the corporation made vacant by the removal of Dr.Stevenson to England.The report records with sincere regret the death of Mr.William Craig Baynes, B.A, for thirty years Bursar of the University.In regard to the faculties and affiliated institutions, the report states that the attendance at the affiliated colleges in arts (Morin and St.Francis) is larger than in previous years, and that the four affiliated theological colleges have worked as hitherto in perfect harmony with the University.At the closs of last session\u2019 the University granted eighty-five degrees in arts, medicine, law and applied science.Speaking of the Donalda SPECIAL COURSE FOR WOMEN, now endowed with the sum of $120,000, the report shows that the number of regular lady undergraduates has increased to twenty-six, and the total number of lady students is 108, showing that these classes are meeting a realeducational want.At the close of the present session a graduating class of eight ladies is expected, all of whom have taken high standing in the college work.The increased number of students in the Faculty of Applied Science testifies to its growing reputation.Its graduates are for the most part occupying honorable and remunerative positions in professional life.In this Faculty the services of Mr.A.T.Taylor have been engaged for the classes of freehand drawing.The growth of certain departments of scientific work is favorably noticed, especially the botany department (in which 168 students are attending lectures, and 36 taking practical work) and the Department of Practical Chemistry, in which 114 students are attending lectures and 44, belonging to the science and arts faculties, are engaged in practical work.THE SUMMER SESSION of the Medical Faculty is highly spoken of.The attendance last summer was large, and the lectures, as usual, presented the amount of their fees ($1,152) to the Museum, library and apparatus fund ofthe faculty.Mr.Barnjum reports in the present session a class of 60 students in the University Gymnasium.As the gymnasium is not conveniently situated for .students the attendance is smaller than could be- desired.The University lists now show, without counting those removed by death, 1,368 graduates in course, viz : 890in Medicine, 376 in Law, 192 in Applied Science, and 36 in Arts, The total number of persons holding diplomas of the Normal School is 1,196.The number of students in the several faculties and departments of the University is as follows; 20 in Law, 235 in Medicine, 280 in Arts, and 63 in Applied Science.There are also 41 in colleges affiliated in Arts, and 108 teachers in training in the Normal School,\u2014making a total of 644, without reckoning students in affiliated theological colleges (numbering 150) or the pupils in the model schools of the Normal School, who are at present 368.The majority of the students are from yarious parts of the Dominion of Canada, beyond the limits of the city of Montreal or its immediate district.In relation to THE LIBRARY, MUSEUM AND APPARATUS, the report states that the numberof volumes in the library is now 26,800, not including about 10,000 volumes in the library of the Medical Faculty.In the past year the library has been largely uged by students, and has been enriched by several important donations, among others $1,000 from the late Mr.R.À.Ramsay, M.A., to be expended in purchasing books bearing on Canadian :ind American history and antiquities.Valuable collections have been presented to the Museum by Professor Macoun, Mr.W.O.Macdonald; and Mr.Peter Redpath and Mr.and Mrs.J.H.R.Mol- son have continued their handsome donations towards its maintenance.The Department of Physical Science is indebted to Mr.A.J.Lawson, electrical engineer of this city, for an Otto engine and dynamo, and for much kind advice and assistance.In the past summer, for the first time, the examinations for Associates in Arts were held under the joint auspices of the Universities and the Protestant Council of Public: Instruction.Forty-four passed as Associates in Arts, besides 19 who were over 18 years of age, and nine took junior certificates, making a total of 72 who passed thess examinations.The report expresses regret that no favorable issue can yet be reported to the efforts of the University and the friends of education toward a satisfactory adjustment of the relations of THE UNIVERSITY AND SCIIOOJ, EDUCATION of the Protestant minority in this Pio- vince with the professional bodies.A formal statement was prepared and presented, along with personal explanations of delegates of the University, before the committee of the Legislature appointed on the bill of the Hon.W.W, Lynch, intended to remove the difliculties in relation to entrance into professional study, and also before the Couucil of the Bar and the Council of the College ot Physicians and Surgeons, but so far without favorable results.The co-operation of the Protestant Committee of the Council of Public Instruction is acknowledged, and it is hoped that the graduates of the University, and more especially those in Law and Medicine, will move in the matter by procuring the signature of petitions to the Legislature on behalf cf the University.THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PROSPECTS are fully discussed in the report.During the past year no gifts were received by by the University, and the expiring of subscriptions lett a deficit in accounts.The Governors decided not to appeal to the friends of the University, but agreed to make up the amount themselves for three years.This impeses on ail con nected in the management of affairs the duty of rigid economy.Many much needed improvements are pointed out, and lack of funds is stated to be the only cause that prevents their being carried out.The benefits to the public of broad and thorough university education is referred to.The report is amplified Ly a financial statement and by special reports on the library, museum and observatory, and copies may be had on application to the secrotury of the Univers:ty.THE WANDERINGS OF THE DAUGHTERS OF CADMUS.Mr.John Reade\u2019s Lecture Last Evening.The third lecture of the course of the Liberal Christian Union for the present season was given last (Wednesday) evening.The lecturer, Mr.John Reade, had taken for his subject a survey of the alphabets of the world which owed their origin to the system of which Cadmus was thie traditional inventor.He began with a brief account of the devices that preceded the use of letlers\u2014wampum and picture-writing and the knotted cords of the Peruvians.The cuneiform system of the Babylonians and the complicated symbols of the Chinese were also touched upon.Mr.Reade then briefly traced the development of the Sem tic alphabat from the hieratic writing of the Egyptians\u2014the process of which came to light only within the last few years.The debt of civilization to the Phanicians was then shown by the enumeration of over seventy distinct alphabets, the connection of which with * the letters Cadmus gave\u201d has been almost positively established.Of the descent of our English alphabet from the Semitic characters there was not the least doubt, the stages through the ancient Latin and Italic being practically self-evident.The mass of literature included under the enumeration was enormous.Even without the Cadmean pale intellectual victories had been achieved of great moment to mankind.A Chinese encyclopaedia in the British Museum comprised 5,020 largo volumes.Japanese literature was also considerable.Returning to Europe, the lecturer pointed out that, according to tradition, the libraries of the ancient world rivalled those of the present day.By a computation from works mentioned or alluded to in classical authors, he showed that, possibly, even the highest estimates were not exaggerated.The manner in which the old culture of Greece and Rome was gradually transformed into that of the patristic period was indicated by some pertinent illustrations.The intellectual features of the middle ages were also revealed by a glimpse at one of the great monastic libraries, and by reference to the lives and work of men like Beda, Anselm, St.Bernard, Albert the Great, Thomas Aquinas and Roger Bacon.What more Bury?But a day was coming which the author of the Philobiblon would have rejoiced to see, when the printer, the true \u201c master of sentences,\u201d should take the place of the slow lahorious peuman.Then in the moveable type, the gift of Cadmus found its fit complement and the press became a power in the world.tf DON'T.let that cold of yours run on.You think it is a light thing.But it may run into catarrh.Or into pneumonia.Or cen- sumption.Catarrh is disgusting.Pneumonia is dangerous.Consumption is death itself.The breathing apparatus must be kept healthy and clear of all obstructions and offensive matter.Otherwise there is trouble ahead.: All the diseases of these parts, head, nose, throat, bronchial tubes and lungs, can be delightfully and entirely cured by the use of Boschee\u2019s German Sprup.if you don\u2019t know this already, thousands and thousands of people can tell you.They have been cured by it, and \u201c know how it is, themselves.\u201d

on the morning of the 22nd, is incorrect, in reference to the wages paid to marble polishers, Where I am made to say that marble polishers received from $1.40 to $1.50 and $1.75 per day, it should have read marble cutters instead of marble polishers.The wages of marble polishers, which I stated to the Labor Commission, are from 90c.to $1.10 per ay.: Epwarp CLINE How the Farmers of Canada Are Prg- tected by the Minister of Customs.To the Editor of THE MONTREAL HERALD: Sir, \u2014 Visiting one of the finest dairy counties in Nova Scotia a short time ago, I was surprised to find that branch of farming completely crushed out, owing to an order from the Minister of Customs, permitting what the law so carefully framed two years ago had expressly prohibited, the transportation in bond of oleomargarine.The mystery of such a ruinous order was solved when the report of the council of the Montreal Board of Trade was laid before that distinguished body.On page eleven you will find the following on the subject of oleomargarine :\u2014 \u201cThe importation of this article into Canada being forbidden, a difficulty arose in April regarding its trans-shipment in bond at this port, which appeared to be illegal.However, upon representation being made to the Minister of Customs that large shipments of oleomargarine for Newfoundland would travel via New York instead of Montreal were such trans-shipment net permitted, he gave instructions under which its carriage in bond by the St.Lawrence route is allowed.\u201d The difference in cost to the importers in Newfoundland, by compelling that ruinous compound to reach them via New York, is the margin of profit that enabled the dairymen of Nova Scotia to hold the trade of Newfoundland.And I wish to call the attention of Parliament to this important matter, and also to another branch of agriculture, which has been nearly ruined already in Canada, the importation of what is termed pure leaf laad from Chicago.The evidence taken before a committee at Washington a short time ago brought out the fact that not a single package of pure lard is sent out of Chicago.It is composed of mixed fats and cotton seed.The last ingredient is said to be injurious by leading medical experts.The farmers of Canada protest against these orders in council affecting their interest, passed solely upon the representations of dry goods dealers and hardware men.DAIRYMAN.\u2014.For Children Starving to Denth, On account of their inability to digest ordinary food, Scott's Emulsion can be digested and give strength and flesh when all other food fails.See what Dr.A.H.Peck, Penn.Med.College, Petitcodiac, says: \u201cI have used and prescribed Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, and find it an excellent preparation, agree ng well with the stomach, and its continued use adding greatly to the strength and comfort of the patient.\u201d Put up in 50c- and $1 size.Ir is impossible to find a more completo stock of gentlemen\u2019s

reliable as a cathartic medicine, they never leave any ill effects.This is because they are purely vegetable, and entirely free from calomel or any other dangerous drug.In all cases, therefore, whether the patfent be old or young, they may be confidently administered.In the Southern and Western States, where derangements of the liver are so general, Ayer\u2019s Pills have proved an inestimable blessing.D.W.Baine, New Berne, N.C., writes : \u201c1 suffered a long time with stomach and liver troubles.I tried various remedies, but received no benefit until 1 commenced taking Ayer\u2019s Pills.These pills benefited me at once.I took them regularly for a few months, and my Liealth was completely restored.\u201d Throughout New England, next to lung diseases, Stomach and Bowel Complaints are the most prevalent, Dyspepsia and Constipation are almost universal.Mr.Gallacher, a practical chemist, of Roxbury, Mass., who was long troubled with Dyspepsia, writes : \u201c À friend induced me to try Ayer\u2019s Pills, and, after taking one box without much benefit, I was disposed to quit them; but he urged perseverance, and, before I had finished the second box, 1 began to experience relief.I continued taking them, at intervals, until I had used eleven boxes.Suffice it to say.that I am now a well man, and grateful to your chemistry, which outstrips mine.\u201d The head and stomach are always in sympathy ; hence the cause of most of those distressing headaches, to which 80 many, especially women, are subject.Mrs.Harriet A.Marble, of Poughkeep- sie, N.Y., writes that for years she was martyr to headache, and never found anythingsto give her more than temporary relief, until she began taking Ayer\u2019s Pills, since which she has been in the enjoyment of perfect health.Ayer\u2019s Pills, Dr.J.C.Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass.Sold by all Druggists.THOMSON LINE.HAVRE, BORDEAUX, CHARENTE, \u2014 AND \u2014 MEDITERRANEAN SERVICES, SPRING 188s.SS.AVLON À gesovo

FEB.23.RESTRICTIONIST MISREPRESENTATION.In a magazine article, Judge Gray, of British Columbia, expresses his disapproval of free trade with the United States, and with great glee the Gazette quotes his article.There is nothing in it which has not time and again been answered by those who believe that it is better to trade with sixty-five millions than with only five.But it is evident that those who from honest conviction, or those who as purchased advocates, feel that the economic truths are agains\u2019 them, and that their chance depends on creating a false impression as to the political bearing of the matter, do not depend on argument.Let them fabricate ingenious theories as they will, the broad fact remains that the 37 United States trade treely amongst themselves without hindrance of any kind and are prospering and progressing in a marvellous way, and that Canada is merely a political and not a geographical stranger to the States, and if in commercial accord with the other divisions of North America, w wuld necessarily share in the prosperity of the others.The pessimistic pictures which they draw of a depleted workshop, depend on the course of events following the lines indicated by them, and the expansion of commerce regulating its growth and direction according to $heir dwarfed conception.But they mistrust these pictures, though drawn by themselves, and have grave suspicions Fiat they will be powerless on the imagination of sensible people.They therefore trump up a theory that Canada must abandon all control of her fiscal policy to The Congress of the United States, and abrogate those sovereign powers which she possesses.The statement is not a mistake ; it is a faisehood.They have not the excuse of ignorance for making it.They are in the interest of the \u201ccombines,\u201d who are the commercial fungi that have sprung from a diseased commercial system, and as the truth will not avail them, they resort to other means.There is no surrender of sovercignty proposed; there is no surrender of proprietary rights, of national honor, or public interests, such as Sir John Macdonald, at the dictation of Mr.Chamberlain, has caused to be made at Washington.There is the conviction that mercantile truths, like scientific truths, cannot be set aside with impurity, and that the remainder of the people should not be cribbed, cabined and confined merely that a few dozen rich men should be made richer, But it is strange that the Gazette should hold up to public honor the principle of Canada agreeing to refrain from using her s-called sovereign rights to their full extent, in return for distinct and great advantages to be received, when in the same breath it is defending the surrender of rights which have for fifty years been inaintained for Canada by the firmness of English statesmen.Suppos- - ing Canada were to agree with the United Stat-s that their joint fiscal policy should be such and such, and that neither would chance it without the consent of the other, or would else give notice to end the treaty, what abrogation of sovereign rights would there be in that?Or, if fhero were any, what a trifling matter would it seem, seeing that at any time the position could be abandened, compared to the surreuder for ever of those inestimable rights Great Britain acquired after years of fighting, aad at the cost of millions, and then transferred to Canada.Sir John has sold our birthright, and we do not even get for it a mess of pottage., He has not enlarged the trade of Canada by a single mackerel or a bushel of oats, but he has abrogated forever, without consideration, Canada\u2019s right to determine on what conditions foreign fishing vessels may use Canadian waters.te has bound Canada not to do this, and not to do that; to give up something here, and something there, and he has done 80 in such manner as to make his &ct irrevocable.The Liberal leaders who propose to enter into treaty arrangements with the United States do not propose to surrender valuable rights acquired by their forefathers, do not propose to sell their country for a bit of ribbon, or to make any arrangement into which they may enter a manacle, and an irremovable one.They propose to benefit every province of the Dominion ; to put money in every farmer's pocket, by ob- faining privileges from the United States; not to giye away for nothing proprietary rights that are worth millions.That is the difference between the Liberal party, a party that thinks and works for the benefit of the country ; and the Tory party, a party composed of those who blindly follow without knowing or caring what they do, together with those who are held clinging to Sir John\u2019s coat tail by the prospect of what theyare | to get.\u2014 ew Tr: Ne y York Herald, Sun and Tribune of Tuesday, contain lengthy telegraphic extracts from Tue Herarp's leading article of Monday on the new fisheries\u2019 freaty.The fact of its being telegraphed so promptly to American papers shows the importance which is attached to this | paper's utterances on the fisheries question.THE SPEECH FROM THE TJRONE.Wie eens speci which wil be due livered to-day at the opening of the Dominion Parliament, will probably refer to the general prosperity of the country and the bountiful harvest in the North-West and allude to the poorer harvest elsewhere.It may be expected to speak of the Washington treaty as being a measure which will prove honorable and satisfactory to both the countries concerned.It may possibly promise amendments to the Dominion Election Act also to the Franchise Acts, with a view to simplification aad the curtailment of exp®nditure Some changes may be anticipated in the Controverted Election Act.The speech will promise legislation as to railways as the outcome of the Railway Commission in order to safeguard life and property and adjust disputes between rival companies.An extended measura of self-government to the North-West will be given notice of as applying certain acts of the British Parliament to the North-West Territories.elf eee \u2018REGARDED WITH SATISFACTION.\u201d The Gazette, no doubt, feels relieved.It has read the new fisheries treaty and approves of it as one which \u201c can be regarded with satisfaction.\u201d Our contemporary quotes the fishery clause of the treaty of 1818 and says, \u201cthough explicit \u201cenough it would be thought the above \u201c admitted of dispute \u201d\u2014whatever our contemporary may mean by such a jumble of words.The fishery clause of the treaty of 1818 is as follows (the italics are ours) :\u2014 \u2018 And the United States hereby renounce forever any liberty heretofore enjoyed or claimed by the inhabitants thereof to take, dry or cure fish on or within three marine miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks or harbors of His Britannic Majesty\u2019s Dominions in America, not included within the above mentioned limits ; provided, however, that the American fishermen shall be admitted to enter such bays or harbors for the purpose of shelter, and of repairing damages therein, of purchasing wood and obtaining water, and for no other purpose whatever.But they shall be under such restrictions as may be necessary to prevent their taking, drying or curing fish therein, or in any other manner whatever abusing the privileges hereby reserved to them.\u201d Practically there was no dispute about the interpretation of this clause, but the Americans contended that since the treaty of 1818 a series of laws and regulations, affecting in an important degree the trade between Canada and the States, have been adopted by both Great Britain and the United States, and have led to amicable and mutually beneficial relations between their respective inhabitants, and therefore under the tomity of nations, as it were, claimed that the specific terms of the treaty of 1818 should not be literally interpreted or enforced, but that American fishermen should be allowed the same commercial \u201crivileges in Canadian ports as American trading vessels.Now, what was the reply of the Government of Canada to this claim of the Americans just about one year ago?Here it is :\u2014 Buch a surrender on the part of Canada would involve the abandonment of a valuable portion of the national inheritance of the Canadian people, who would certainly visit with just reprebation those who wera guilty of so serious a neglect of the trust committed to their charge.The Gazette and other Conservative papers endorsed this position taken by the Dominion Government.Well, the surrender of our \u2018 national inheritance \u201d has been made; the main points of the American contention on the \u201ctouch and trade\u201d question have been conceded; and the Gasette deliberately turns round and expresses satisfaction with the surrender, though we get noth- in return except the privilege of charging American fishermen an annual tonnage fee, and the exceedingly barren privilege of reciprocal rights for fishermen in American waters, which, our contemporary is compelled to admit, \u201c they are not likely \u201cto use to any extent, as it is the Cana- \u201cdian fishing grounds alone that attract \u201cvessels.\u201d And this is what the Gazette calls \u201ca fair and reasonable exchange\u201d\u2014a solution of the dispute which the Government of Canada absolutely refused to entertain one year ago.We don\u2019t wonder at the sickly tone of our contemporary\u2019s article.The surrender that has been made, compared with the almost defiant attitude hitherto assumed by our Government, in which the Gazette vigorously supported them, is enough to make even the organ of \u201c political exigencies\u201d sick.Only liberal doses of pap can restore it to its former vigor, In regard to the three-mile limit and the headland question, the Gazette says : \u201c The new treaty of interpretation practically acknowledges the righteousness of this country\u2019s position.\u201d As regards the three-mile limit itself, there has never been any dispute.The dispute was whether it should follow the sinu- osities of the coast or be measured from headland to headland.The latter interpretation has always been maintained and acted upon by Great Britain and Canada, and was thus defined by the British law officers: \u2014 \u201cThat by the terms of the Convention, American citizens were excluded from any right of fishing within three miles from the coast of British America, and that the prescribed distance of three miles is to be measured from the headlands or extreme points of land next the sea, of the coast, or of the entrance of bays or indents of the coast.Any schoolboy acquainted with the gecgraphy of the Maritime Provinces can tell the Gazette that the definition of the headlands agreed upon by the Commission is entirely different from the definition given above, and affords President Cleveland the opportunity of saying that \u201cthe headland theory of imaginary \u201clines is abandoned by Great Britain.\u201d The modification is wholly in favor of the Americans.This definition of the headlands question, our contemporary says, \u201ccan be regarded with satisfaction.\u201d We presume the Gazette's \u201csatisfaction\u201d is due to the fact that the American contention is only partially conceded, and that Canada's claim in tis phase of the j message, the Spee, will be in a position | question has not Leeu wholly abandoned.The Gazette's article is a valiant attempt to \u201cextract sunbeams from cucumbers.\u201d _ \u2014\u2014 THE AMERICAN SUGAR TRUST.The Committee of New York State Senate, appointed to enquire into the Trust conspiracies, has been investigating the sugar trust, and has laid bare some very interesting facts.A member of the company which operated the North River Sugar Refining Company\u2014 which had refused to enter the trust and had afterwards been bought out and closed down by a representative of the combination\u2014gave the following particulars as to the amounts of stock alloted a number of firms who had joined the combination : Havemeyer& Co.$17,000,000 De Castro & Donner.3,000,000 Madison Bechnor.530,000 Ox-nard.750,000 Moller & Sleck.1,150,000 Dick & Meyer.3,000,000 Standard of Boston.2,700,000 Bay State.900,000 Another Boston Co.» 1,900,000 The capitalization of the combine, embracing upwards of twenty refiners, was fixed at $45,000,000\u2014three times the actual value, as represented by cash of ali expenditure, the concerns included in the trust, The intention was to have fixed the capitalization at $50,000,000, in the expectation that all the refineries in the country would join, but this not being realized the amount was reduced to $45,000,000.The trust is so manipulating the sugar business of the country that it is paying large dividends on three times the actual amount of cash invested.The object of the formation of the trust, the witness said, was to kill competition, and that object had been effected.The result of all this is that consumers are being \u2018\u2019 bled \u201d so that the members of the combine may pay themselves exorbitant dividends on fictitious capital or watered stock.\u2018This information ought to be of interest to the people of Canada, who are being compelled to pay one hundred per cent.profits into the coffers of the Canadian sugar \u201c combine.\u201d Here, as in the United States, the object of the combination is to kill competition and crush those wholesale dealers who refuse to accept the dictation of the \u201ccombine.\u201d A parliamentary investigation of these \u201cspoiled children \u201d of a protective tariff is now in order in the interests of the Canadian people, and it is to be hoped the subject will not be lost sight of in the coming session of Parliament.ee.PROTECTIONISTS SURPRISED.An election took place recently in Michigan, which illustrates very significantly the manner in which tariff reform is taking hold of the people in the United States.The election was held in the Eleventh Michigan District, a stronghold of Republicanism, which in 1884 gave a majority of 7,415 for Blaine and Moffet.A vacancy occurring, a Mr.Breen offered as the Democratic-Labor candidate, taking his stand squarely on President Cleveland\u2019s message, announcing himself \u201c not an ultra-protectionist and not entitled to the votes of those who are.\u201d The result of the election was that the Republican majority of 7,415 in 1884 was reduced to about 300.It is only necessary to say that the Republican candidate antagonized the policy of tariff reform and came within an ace of being defeated.Such a result in a district regarded as a Republican stronghold, and where protectionist influences are supposed to be exceptionally strong, indicates pretty plainly that the people ar3 sick of protection and determined to have tariff reform, even if to secure it they have to abandon the political party they have supported for a lifetime.The Chicago Tribune, in commenting upon the election, says the \u201cstartling result is a \u2018straw\u2019 which Republican leaders should not overlook,\u201d and further says : Mr.Breen offers the only plausible explanation of his remarkable run when he says: \u201cThe workingmen have given this tariff question a good deal of thought in the last few years; they are convinced that in many respects the present tariff is burdensome on the American people and stands in need of revision.They are no longer alarmed by the representations of those unwise friends of protection who insist that the tariff schedule as it stands is & sacred thing which should not be touched by unhallowed hands.\u201d If these are the influences at work in ope of the strongest ultra-protectionist districts in the West, where the protected copper and iron mining is a leading Industry, what do Republicans expect to gain in the agricultural see- tions by championing a policy of excessive bounties and needless tariff taxation ?It ta getting to be the regular order of thingsin the West for the Republicans to have their majorities whittled down and be brought to face defeat whenever they put up high-tariff candidates and declare emphatically for that policy.How many Republican Congressional districts in the West cau elect their candidates this year by following the policy adopted in the Eleventh Michigan at the recent election ?Tle tm Tur London Free Press has not yet explained its semi-official, double-leaded announcement of the failure of the fisheries\u2019 negotiations.It is, ho wever, ready to \u201cbolt\u201d the new treaty at one gulp.a Wz exceedingly regret that a telegraphic paragraph, reflecting on Mr.William Moloney, who has recently left for England, appeared in our paper through oversight on the part of our Telegraph Editor.Mr.Moloney, and the other New York gentlemen with whom he has been associated, during their residence here, have conducted themselves as zood citizens and are not deserving of such attacks as that which inadvertently ap- peare] in our issue of yesterday, and the publication of which we deeply rezret.ee.Tne Hamilton Spectator of Tuesday had the following : Although it may turn out \u2018hat our Ameri- ean cousins got the botter of us in the fisheries business, &o.When it reads the text of the treaty and President Cleveland's congratulatory ba say: \u201c* Although it turns out that our American cousins have get the better of us in this fishery business, we will be magnanimous enough to congratulate them on their good luck, while we May congratulate ourselves that the British Commissioners have no! surrendered everything.\u201d = Ir will be a spectacle fitted to draw pearly tears from the eyes of white-winged celestial beings, to wateh the agonizing efforts which will now be made by the Tory organs to \u201cextract sunbeams from cucumbers,\u201d in their discussion of the new fisheries treaty.WHAT OTHERS SAY.(Philadelphia Record.) Except so far as it filches the earnings of labor, a tariff has no more influence upon wages than it has upon the tides of the ocean.(* Un Patriote \u201d in L\u2019Etendard).If Sir Charles Tunper considered that it was noi possible for him to obtain from the Department of State a reasonable treaty, it was his duty to withdraw without completing anything, rather than leave to the Canadian Parliamen: the unpleasant task of rejecting his work.» (Toronto Globe).The Montreal people who are talking of commencing legal proceedings against the sugar combine should look up an alleged English precedent.It was a charge of conspiracy brought against persons who combined together and agreed not to patronize the stage coaches belonging to a certain man.It was decided that the defendants were guilty of conspiracy.(New York World.) Day by day the Home Rule cause so ably piloted by the Grand Old Man acquires increased popularity in Great Britain.Striking testimony of this is afforded by the fact that Thursday, Friday and Saturday of the past week have been marked by three successive victories of the Gladstonian candidates over their Tory and Unionist rivals in the electoral contests for Parliament.\u2014 (Ottawa Freo Pre:s.) If wolet the Americans come into our ports to buy supplies and unload their fish it will be impossible to prevent them from fishing within the three mile limit has been the government\u2019s main argument in defence of their policy of seizing vessels for buying supplies.They have now conceded the privilege of unloading cargoes and purchasing supplies.How do they propose to prevent fishing within the three mile limit ?(La Justice).It is sufficiently pleasant to hear members of the Montreal Board of Trade\u2014 influential persons in Montreal\u2014depre- ciating the condition of navigation between that city and Quebec at a time when the question of the terminus of the ocean lines is being discussed.We repeat the city of Montreal is enterprising ; the Government assisting, it will overcome all natural obstacles, while Quebec, which nature has so well assisted, has not yet found a means of denouncing the duplicity of the Federal ministers.(Victoria, B.C., Times.) Our Dominion ministers have resolved to purchase in the United States the presses required for the new printing bureau.What a bad example! While preaching the doctrine that it is disloyal to purchase anything from the Americans, especially when retaliation is threatened by the Washington Government, they go to New York for machinery with which to do the government printing.Surely the men who boast of \u201c drawing their inspiration from British institutions\u201d might have sent to England for their printing presses.(Huntingdon Gleaner.) The evidence which continues to be taken by the Labor Commission in Montreal shows that the lot of the workingmen in that city is a bard one.Mechanics, especially those engaged in the building trade, make fair wages, but laborers and factory hands earn hardly enough to keep the wolf from the door.High rents are a grievous burden.Proof accumulates as to the shameful treatment of factory employees and the Dominion Government, in the face of it, cannot longer elude its duty to provide a system of inspection.(Hamilton Times.) A Montreal wholesale grocer, who refused to fall in with the schemes of the combines, exposed their doings.The reply was that there is no ring and that \u201cevery refinery in the country is free to fix its own rates!\u201d Here is the answer which this gentleman received from the proprietors of the Nova Scotia refinery in reply to a letter as to their terms: -Your communication to hand.We cannot give discount without consent of guild.No discount.That is freedom \u2014in a horn! Lower the tariff, give the people cheap sugar, which is a necessary of life, and the merchants a chance to escape from the domination of the refiners\u2019 ring, which has been guilty of the worst species of bsycotting of which ons can well conceive.(Brockville Recorder.) Hon Mr.Pardee and others of the Liberals were blamed to no end because they were said to have bought a few acres of Dakota lands on speculation.What of the Texas \u201cDominion Cattle Ranching Co.\u201d whose liquidation has just been announced ?Its moving spirit was Mr.Ives, a Tory M P.and son-in- law of Hon.Mr.Pope, Minister of Railways and Canals.How did Sir Charles Tupper come to invest $21,500 of his surplus in 'tex28 Cattle?What caused such ardent and patriotic Tories as Hon.J.H.Pope, ex-Senator Hamilton, Senator Cochrane, Senator Ogilvie, Mr.G.B.Bur- land, Mr.Andrew Robertson, Mr.Hugh Graham, Mr.Alex.Ferguson and Mr.Thomas Pringle to go into ranching in Texas?Perhaps they have received a lesson in patriotism which will do them good, and will henceforth make their professed desire to keep Canadian money in the country agree better with their practice.DEATHS.Bisgor\u2014In this city, on the 22nd inst, Thomas Bishop, aged 438 years, a native of Wexford, Ireland.Funeral en Saturday, 25th insl., at 2,3: pm, from his late residence, 214 St.Philip street, to Mount Royal Cemetery.Friends and acquaintances are respectfully lavitel to attend.P.rth, Ont., papers please Copy.WW suted as Book-ke per or Collector by a middle aged man.Good eity reler- ences.Apply to D.L.Herald Office.m 46 ANTED -By a dressmaker, who can eut and tit well, sewing b.day.85 St Genevieve street.\u20ac by the day més ANTED\u2014Two Or threc table boarders at 142 Mansfield street.tf 18 ee T° LITHOGRAPHER+\u2014 AN EXPERIenced triveller wishes an agency for Province of Quebec.Address B, Herald Office.46 NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.for a Basket containing One Dozen Quarts of the Sparkling VINTAGE of the CHAMPAGNE PIPER HEIDSIECK \u201cSEC.\u201d $26 for a Basket comaining 2 Dozen Plnts of the SAME DELICIOUS WINE, FRASER, ViGER & CO.FINE HAVANA CIGARS.Ourowndirect importations every month.Pedro Murias, Reina Victoria, in boxes 0!

Saturday matinee.THE WORLD AGAINST HER.As already announced the attraction which the indefatigueable management of the Academy of Music has secured for next week is the famous emotional actress, Miss Kate Claxton in her great new play, The World Against Her.Both company and drama come well recommended by the press of cities already visited.The Toronto Globe says :\u2014\"The World Against Her, is a strong play, liberally flavored with that peculiar martyrdom of injured misery which affords scope for Miss Claxton\u2019s characteristic talent, As Madge Carlton, the loyal wife and mother, who has \u2018fallen under the shadow of an uncommitted sin,\u2019 she played with a combined force and tenderness that appealed successfully to the audience.Her support was very good, Mr.Chas.A.Stevenson, as the husband, showing more than the usual British phiegm under injustice and oppression.A pretty face and figure and decided talent secured Miss Esther Lyon well earned applaise as Ta nie Clegg.An excellent vein of come.ly was well deve- lopad by Bob and Sally Millet, represented by Mr.E.E.Egleton and Miss Alice Leigh.The villain of the play, Gilbert Blair at the hands of Mr.A.H.Forest, received such a faithful rendering as to earn the unconcealed ill-will of the gallery.The other characters were well cast and very well rendered.\u201d Theatre Royal, A GREAT WRONG.The above strong drama\u2019ic attraction continues to draw crowded houses at the Royal.A Great Wrong will be produced every afternoon and evening this week, THE BANDIT KING, The attraction at the Royal next week will be J.H.Wallick\u2019s company in The Bandit Kiug and The Cattle King, opening with the former on Monday afternoon.Speaking of The Bandit King the N Y.Evening Telegram says: \u2014The principal features of The Bandit King are the introduction of four horses, Bay Raider, Roan Charger, Arabian Jim and Texas and a trained donkey.The chief characters of the play are Joe Howard, a devoted son, who afterward became the Bandit King, in which capacity he poses a8 the protector of virtue and the pun- isher of crime.Terrific situations abound, one of the most extraordinary of which is the attempted murder of Ko- lemah, the waif, by drowning, and her rompt rescue by the Bandit King, who assoes her.Old Bob appears with his donkey, af er the heavy scenes, and enlivens the business with negro melodies and dances.There are a fizht on horseback and a ride to death among the scenes presented, and altogether the aa- dience has no reason to complain of monotony, for as soon as one terrific scene is off another comes on.The play ends with the Bandit King being pardoned, guilt exposed, innocence vindicated and virtue rewarded.Esmeralda.A CIIARMING PERFORMANCE IN AID OF ST.MARGARET'S HOME.A fashionable and appreciative audience filled the hall of the Victoria Ar mary to its capacity last eveniag to w1s- ness * Esmeralda\u201d performed by a num- St Margaret's Home, Itis seldom tnat amateur theatricals run with that smoothness characteristic of the professional stage, or that tha gruesome ef- foct of a play is not perceptible under amateur skill.It mist admitted, however, that the play last evening was in every respect a gratifying success.For this happy state of affairs are due not only the untiring efforts of many of our well known ladies and gentlemen who took part, but particularly to the indefatigable exertions of the lady directoress, Mrs.Neit Warner, under whose careful guidance and instruction, the amateurs\u2014 for many of whom it was their intial appearance on thé stage\u2014were brought to a high degree of proficiency, and to whom every credit is due for the pleasing result of the entertainment.Esmeralda is a most appropriate drama for an amateur rntertainment appearing perhaps, a trifle difficult for many, but in the hands of those who presented it last evening'it undoubte lly proveda wise selection.The openingscene of the play takes place in North Carolina and the action of the other three acts in Paris.Of course, it is a story of true love, where the lovers, after many trials and long separation, are united at last.Miss Donnelly, in the title role, gave a most delicious impersonation.Her acting and pleasing manner on the stage were the subject of much favorable comment.She possesses a clear, sweet voice and a most attractive appearance.She well merited the unstinted applause which was bestowed on her.Miss Hall, as Lydia Ann, was especially good, while the Nora Desmond of Miss Saxe was a clever and finished piece of acting from beginning to end.The Kate Desmond, the accommodating sister of Miss Thompson, could not have been improved upon, her conception of the part being the evident result of much study.To Dr.J.S.Ibbotson was entrusted the difficult role of Dave Hardy, and that it could not be placed in better hands was quite apparent by the capital manner in which that young gentleman took the part of the romantic hero.Dr.Ibbotson is quite an acquisition to the limited band of amateur actors in this city and in the future events of this kind, it is to be hoped he will always lend his valuable assistance.Mr.J.M.Brayley, as the old man Rogers could not have been better suited to his part, his accent was particularly good.His acting throughout was most successful.Of Mr.Fred O.Hopkins, who took the part of Estherbrook, too much praise cannot be given.He added new laurels to his firmer achievements.Mr.A.C.McDonald as Jack Desmond, Mr.A.Hubert as the Marquis de Montessin, Mr.L.W.Macphie as George Dun, and Mr.B.Kinnatian, as the obliging servant, were all well up in their respective parig, and claimed considerable attention from the audience.A very pleasing fea- tare in the entertainment, and by no means the least enjoyable, were vocal selections between the acts by Miss Crompton and Miss Feron, and a choice readingÿby Mr.Neil Warner.* La Reine de Saba\u201d was well and feelingly sung by Miss Crompton, and in such a pleasing manner as to elicit an encore, in answer to which \u201cThe Broken Pitcher\u201d was beautifully rendered.The \u201c Pattison Waltz\u201d gong was charmingly rendered by Miss.Feron, to which an encore was demanded, when a well-known Irish song was given.Mr.Neil Warner gave a reading entitled \u201cNell,\u201d in which his fine, clear voice and elocutionary powers were shown to great advantage.The performance was in every respect a most enjoyable one, and those who were in- stramental in organizing it, as well as those who took part,-are to be congratulated on the success of the entertainment in aid of St.Margaret's Home.A Church Concert.The Trinity Church Band of Hope will, to-morrow evening, give a dramatic, musical and literary entertainment in the lecture hall of the church, St.Denis street.Rev.Canon Mills will preside, and as a first-class programme has been prepared for the occasion a most enjoyable evening may be anticipated._\u2014\u2014 FIRE ON McGILL STREET.Three Alarins Rung for a $3,000 Firo.At half past five o'clock yester.ay afternoon an alarm was rung from box 7 for a fire in the building at the corner of McGill and Lemoine streets.The blaze originatad in the office of Field, Bros.& Co., manufacturer's agents, who deal in silver plate goods, fishing tackle, &c.Their office is the corner room on the second flat facing both on Lemoine and McGill streets.How the fire originated is a mystery, Messrs.Fields having just left the office when the alarm was given.The onlyroom damaged was the onewhere it staried.The blaze came ous of the\u2018 windows, however.and scorched the walls pretty badly as well as the cornice.When the firemen arrived they soun extinguished the flames, and a few dashes on the outside wails dispised of the fire in the cornice.Several other firms in the building were put to more or less loss by water In the bottom flat Messrs.Hart & Tuckwell keep a À large and

showed the pedigrees on record to July, 1887, to be 22,000, and the total membership 3567 The financial statement shows a balance on hand of $1,441.93.The following resolution, moved by Mr.Fothergill, s:conded by Mr.Shaw, was carried : \u201cThat it is with regret this Association notices that the Government have not placed the usual grant of $10,000 to the agriculture and arts association in their estimates, as the said association hasentered into arrangements for holding an agricultural exhibition in Kingsten next September, and have also received grants from various other agricultural organizations.They further express the hope that the Government will place the said grant in the supplementary estimates, which request they make with greater confidence, as in making the arrangements referred to they have proceeded in the regular way.The election of officers resulted in the old officers being returned as follows : President, Johu Dryden, M.P.P., vice- president, R.Gibson,

Long expected, come at last!\u201d and added that he would have a talk with him in a few moments when he came down-stairs.Scarcely had Mr.Maddison withdrawn his head and returned to his jovial party in the parlor, when his daughter, who was below, in passing also caught sight of the engineer and spoke to him.A few moments later Mr.Maddison descended and looked around him for the person he specially de sired to greet, but he was not to be seen.It was then thought that he had hidden himself, and a search was made; but, though the landlord and others peered ben ath the table, felt about under the seats, and,in short, thoroughly overhauled tho whole of the premises, there was no trace whatever to be found of the marine e.gineer.Mr.Maddison would probakly have doubted the testimony of his own eyes, and the sound of his own voice in which he had hailed his friend, but for the confirmatory assurance of his daughter.It is incredible that both could hawe been mistaken.Each described the marine engineer in identical terms, and their descriptions of his attire exactly tallied.However,he had vanish ed, and there was nothing more to be said or done.A few days passed, and then one morning the marine\u2019engineer walked into the Queen\u2019s Head.He was informed of his previous visit, but laughed at the landlord for telling Lim such a thing, as his steamer, he said, was at that very time at Antwerp, and he was on board of her.The Sunderland item of news concludes as follows: \u201cAs the engineer had been eight months at sea without rest, lie was asked if he intended takin} a holiday ashore, and replied that he was not decided.However, the chief engineer unfortunately persuaded him to return, and last week the boat was reported as being considerably overdue, she being one of the steamers missing since the storms in the Bay of Biscay.\u201d Earnestly as the contrary is to be hop ed for, it is in strict correspondence with all ghostly traditions of a similar description that a tragedy should follow on the heels of such an app.r iion asthis.Yet, waiving that unhappy consideration, it will be seen at a glance that nothing could form a more embarrassing condi- .tion of a man\u2019s being than the corporeal dualism of which the Sunderland! marine engineer seems to have been a victim.Most people are supposed to have a good and bad side to their natures; but then these qualities are kept together, g0 to speak, in one bottle, which people can shake up if they please, so as to render the draught which they offer to'friends as tolerable as such inixtures usually are.It is another matter to have a side, good or bad, whose wandering nature is not to be controlled ; and the position becomes very serious, indeed, when this fugitive and erratic side happens to be the bad one.Let us imagine, for instance, that the marine engineer was an earnest teetotaller, known to all his friends as a man who had not only taken the pledge, but who was an enthusiast in his advocacy of temperance.One fine day he is observed by a number of people who knew him well, to enter a highly respectable hostelry and call for a drink\u2014perhaps two.The real man all this while is at Antwerp, sipping nothing but water or tea.Yet, through the vagaries of his other and worse half, he may be compelled to forfeit the esteem of his friends who, in proportion as they are practical, will be the less disposed to listen with patience to his protestations.This is a form of ghostliness that apparently belongs peculiarly to these times.In all ages apparitions have appeared, but no spectre has ever yet been known to tra- duee its original.On the contrary, it has always managed to convey the opinion that it held in the highest possible esteem the object it survived or represented.In short, the old ghost always behaved quite as respectably as its proprietor would under such circumstances as those in which the shade appeared\u2014nay, it even sanctified its conduct with touches of pathos, as, for instance.when it gave notice of the decease of the material part of it to an expectant relative, or when it stood at the foot ofa bed with mo'st eyes and languisk- ing aspect, and predicted by solemn gestures the prompt dissolution of the startled object it addressed.Stories of this kind are affecting and impressive.We recognize a specific ghostly mission, and crodulity is awed by the narrative.The annals of spectral visitations abound in touching, in romantic, in picturesque, and here and there in grotesque things;
