\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CONDEMNED BY A BROKER.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 They Would Subject the Provinte to Serious Loss.et Government Friends would Have an Opportunity of Dabbling in Bonds\u2014 Mr.J.L.Marler\u2019s Views.The Provincial Treasurer's debt conversion scheme is being discussed pretty freely by those whose business lies in the money market, and from them it gets ecant approval.Mr.J.TL.Marler, of \u2018Nichols and Marler, in conversation with a Herald reporter yesterday, gave his opinion of the scheme.«1 think the scheme is one which will \"entail an immense loss to the Province,\u201d \"said Mr.Marler.\u201cIt is no conversion ot the public debt to buy a bond at a figure which is above its legitimate value, simply to issue another bond at a rate of interest which is normal now, but may be a very high rate in a few years.There is a good deal of human nature in bondholders as well as in other people, and when they see a good thing they take advantage of it.The Government proclaims loudly that it wants to buy in these bonds, and if it decides to do so their price will advance.\u201cAs it is purely optional with bondholders whether they will part with them or not they will naturally make all they can out of the Government to the detriment of the Province.In the eighth section of the resolutions it is proposed to enact that no bond or debenture shall be paid before the time fixed, except with the consent of the holders,\u201d which consent everyone with common sense knows is the first thing necessary.The Lieuten- ant-Governor-in-Council is authorized to treat with these people for the purchase of the bonds, but nothing is said as to what price shall be paid.\u201cThere is nothing to prevent friends of the Government, or anyone else, irom buying up all the bonds they can and ask- iug an exorbitant price for them, nor is there anything to prevent the Government paying a good round figure as a premipm to their friends.\u2018There is every chance for a big scoop, and my expert euce has been that where such privileges pre given, they are always taken advantage of.1 do not believe in giving any government the power to become dealers in honds or debentures with an option, as this scheme virtually proposes.; \u201cJ would insist on a clause being in- gerted such as this, \u2018and that the Province shall not pay for the re-purchase of such debentures any premium on the same.What is to prevent the Government converting the Taillon loan, negotiated at 77, at par or even at a pre: minum, to the great loss of the Province?Or some other government might convert the converted loan, and we might have a ecries of conversions, costing us far more than the original loans.\u201cIf a loan is required, I would strongly recommend that the Government reserve the.right to pay it off at its own option after five or ten years, or reduce the rate of interest in, say, ten years.The price of money is continyally tending towards lower rates, and a long-dated loan would tie up the Province without such a proviso.It would be far better to leave .the outstanding liabilities to take care of themselves, and let any new loan stand on its own basis.Tn every way I would certainly consider Mr, Atwater\u2019s scheme unwise, and it would no doubt be a source of great expense to the Province, without gaining any compensation therefor.\u201d THE SCHOOL BOARD Reprimands Mr.W.A.Kneeland for Using His Anti-tobacco Treatment on Pupils.Mr.W.A.Kneeland, principal of Riverside School, who some weeks ago made the punishment fit the crime in the case oË some of his scholars, was reprimanded ; by the Protestant Board of Sshool Commissioners at its meeting yesterday morning.Mr.Arthy having written to him, \u2018Mr.Kneeland was present.A discussion took place as to whether | the investigation into the matter should \u2018be publie or not., Alderman McBride \u2018was strongly in favor of publicity.If the charges made in the press were true Mr.Kneeland was not fit to be a teacher, and he for one would not hesitate in voting for bis dismissal.Archdeacon Evans was \u2018also in favor of a public hearing, but Dr.Shaw and Ald.Costigan thought that the case should be investigated in private by the Board sitting as a commiltee on school management, and as this view prevailed, the reporters were requested to withdraw.Mr.Kneeland was called conduct.After he withdrew the members of the committee considered the \u2018case, and on resolving themselves once more into a meeting of the Board presented the follow- inz report from which, however, Dr.Shaw Bissented: \u201cTo the Chairman and members of the Protestant Board of School Commis- sloners: Gentlemen: Your Committee of School Management, h:ving considered the action of Mr.Knee- land, principal of the Riverside School, in a recent case of discipline, and having considered Mr.Kneeland\u2019s statements made personally and in writing to the committee, begs to recommend to the Board that Mr.Kneeland be summoned before it, that he be reprimanded for infraction of the Board's regulations upon punishment and for {he unwise method adopted in the present instance and warned against its repetition.\u201d Mr.Kneeland was summoned before the Board, and the chairman in addressing him, stated that the Board recognized the zeal and energy shown by him in the discharge of his duties, which had been performed to the gatisfaction of the residents of Point St, Charles, whose confidence he had gained, as apneared from the - representations made on his behalf.and that the Board appreciated his efforts to be a moral ag well ag an intellectual educator to his pupils, Tn this case, however.Mr._Kneeland's zeal had out-run his discretion and had led him to disregard the regulations of the Board respect- Ing punishment.The chairman, regarding the act in question as primitive, drew Mr.Kneeland\u2019s attention to the fact that the method of punishment adopted by him was not one of those authorized under the regulations of the Board.A fuller measure of discretion might have been expected from a teacher of Mr.Kneeland\u2019s standing and experience, and the Board must insist that in future in administering punishment he must confine himself to the authorized methods, CANADA\u2019S OPPORTUNITY.An Opening by Which Farmers Can Increase Their Incomes With Profit to the Country.John Bayne MacLean, writing in the Canadian Bookseller anad Stationer, says: , In Canada we have the best hard maple in the world.The farmer in many districts spends part of his winter cutting it and selling it for firewood.He is quite happy if he receives $1 to $3, or perhaps $4, a cord.This is a sad waste of one of our greatest natural treasures.Much of it can be more profitably used in other ways.In the manufacture of wall paper, an industry constantly growing here and abroad, hundreds of thousands of rollers are used for printing the various patterns.For every color in a pattern there is a separate roller.In a single pattern there will be from four to ten or twelve rollers, The average is about seven.These rollers are generally used in one season, and ns there are thousands of different patterns it Is easily seen what a large number are used each year in the States and Europe as well as in Canada.These rollers are made of the very best hard maple, the very kind that Canada produces better than any other country in the world.In the rough they are 19% or 23% inches long.@he end is 5 or-8 inches square, according to the size of roller required.Only the most perfect wood can be used.It is cut into these sizes.The ends arc painted to prevent the wood drying faster with the grain than across it.It is then allowed to stand for three or four years.By this time it is thoroughly seasoned.This is all the labor put upon it.Now glance at the prices.Good maple in this form, after being properly seasoned.brings 50 to 75e per rough block.In a cord it is figured there would be about 440 blocks, counting them 20 inches long.At 50e, this is over $220 per cord, considerably better than $1 or $4 a cord, which they got for firewood.Of course, there is considerable expense.But is there not ample return for the outlay ?The blocks must be sawn the proper size.They must be stored for four years, during which time there is no return for the money invested.Many of the blocks will erack in the seasoning process.Suppose only one cord in five is perfect.Over-estimate all these expenses and there is still an enormous profit.Why should the Canadian farmer and woodsman not have the benefit of that profit ?Nor should we stop here.The blocks turned ready for the wall paper manufac- (turers bring still higher prices.A hole is i bored lengthways through the block.At each end a small metal ring is fitted.Tha block is then turned to a circumference of 12, 15, or 21 inches.In this state they will bring on an average $1 per roller on the New York market.These figures are not conjecture, but are prices actually paid within the last year and a half.The United States is alive to the valne of this trade.A little over a year ago, I saw at New York harbor over 5,000 of these blocks for the British market.I'he demand is there, and it is Canada\u2019s place to supply it.We have the best wood for the purpose that can be found anywhere.Already I know of two men in Canada who have done something in this line.One of them has received three large orders from England at 306 per block, green.Of course, they keep it quiet.We kuow of one town in Ontario which has been shipping for some years, but we doubt if anyone but the shipper knows for what purpose the blocks are used or the pre\u201d* there is in them.All that is wanted then is some person properly situated to take the matter up\u2014 to get in touch with the foreign manufacturers.This is in Sir Richard Cart- wiight's department.Considerable push is necessary at first.When once the trade is started, the superior quality of our maple will do the rest.If this matter receives the attention which it merits, it would represent in our exports to the United Kingdom and the United States a very respectable figure, and prove a valuable income to many of our farmers, who are now literally putting.money in the fire.A considerable quantity of maple blocks are similarly treated cach year for use in margles.These must be of first-class wood, hut are not necessarily as perfect as the wall paper rollers.Fyervone who reads this must not begin the manufacture of printing rollers.The market would soon be over-supplied.In localities where an excellent quality of maple is plentiful, it is reasonable to expect a very much greater profit by handling the wood in this way than by selling it as firewood.\u2014 ee Furrowing Winter Wheat.\u2018Where winter wheat is sown, furrows should be run through the low places before the : _eommitltee and made an explanation of his and made deep enough to carry off sur- { face water if it comes suddenly while + the ground is frozen.The work should ' be done as soon as possible after the wheat is sown, as, if the leaf has much sizo, the plant partly buried in cold, | moist ground cannot live through the winter.This furrowing out of wheat lands is less common than it used to be, as it doubtless wrenches the reaping machines crossing the furrows.But it is better to cut the wheat in lands than to go over several square rods of land where the wheat was killed out by having water stand on it which a furrow would have carried away.An underdrain will not always carry away water, for if the ground is frozen over it the water caunot get down to it.We have ridden the reaper often in cutting wheat on furrowed ground and never broke a machine in that way.In truth, the frost breaks down the soil and mostly fills the furrow with fine soil, so that it is always much shallower in the spring than it was when made the previous fall.\u2014American Cultivator.News and Notes.The celery crop, taken as a whole, is unsatisfactory.The tendency of the market in all lines of dried fruits is toward higher prices.The Egyptian cotton crop promises to be the largest ever known.To keep roots fresh for table use during winter try the plan of putting them in a box in the cellar and covering with sand.It is told that 95,000 tons of American apples find a market in England every year.If manure oan be had, meadows may be kept in good condition for many years.Fifth Form Boy\u2014Please, I want a pair of gloves.Gentleman\u2019s Outfitter\u2014Kid gloves ?Fifth Form Boy\u2014No, no.Gloves for grown-up people

vs.Belleville.Lafortune, for the defendant, appealed from the judgment of Archibald J., condemning the defendant to pay to the plaintiff the sum of $160 and costs of suit.The plaintiff leased his house to the defendant for one year, from the 1st day of May 1895, but the defendant later gave written notice of her intention to abandon the premises on the 1st day of August of the same year.The plaintiff claimed rent for the entire year, and had issued a writ of Saisie Gagerie, causing a seizure of defendants goods and chattels to satisfy his claim, Defendant pleads that she was compelled to vacate the premises in question by order of the Municipal authirities.Mathieu, for the plaintiff contra.Reserved.Legare vs.Esplin.Hatton, for the de fendant, appealed from the judgment of Doherty J.condemning the defendant to pay to the plaintiff, by way of damages, the sum of $500 and costs of action.The plaintiff sues as tutor of his minor son, Francis Legare, who, while in the employment of the defendant met with an accident by which, three of his fingers were injured.This accident, it is alleged, was due to the fault and negligence of the defendant and his foreman, in placing a young inexperienced boy at work, on a machine, which, it is alleged, was more than usually dangerous by reason of it being lacking in certain protective apparatus.It is alleged by defendant that the boy, who was 14 years of age, mis-stated his age as being 15 years.Merrill for the plaintiff contra.Reserved.SUPERIOR COURT.Enquete and Merits, First Division.f Before\u2014Pagnuelo, J.Duchene vs.Canadian

the Crown was obliged to give security but the judge (Ouimet J.), decided that the Provincial Government was not the Crown so as to entitle it to exemption from giving security.Stephens, Q.C., for the Crown, Morgan for Armstrong.SAVAGE ISLANDERS.The Man Eating Natives of the Island of Guadalcanar\u2014Persistent Mr, Woodford.A few years ago the Englisn ana tne Germans divided the beautiful group of the Solomon islands between themselves and then looked around to see if their new acquisition was really worth anything.They deoided that the islands were lovely to the eye and good enough to keep, but that the natives were the wildest and most untamable, savages thoy had ever met.It was all a man\u2019s life was worth to venture among them.A gunboat or two have been kept in the neighborhood of late years, but these have not prevented the head hunters and cannibals from lopping off a white man\u2019s head on every convenient occa- gion.The scene of the latest native exploit is the large island of Guadalcanar.Several members of an Austrian scientific expedition, while climbing the mountain known as the Lion's Head early in August, 1896, were attacked by the bushmen or island natives.Five of the party were killed and six were wounded, including two guides and some sailors.A simultaneous attack was made upon the climbers and the small party they had left in camp below.Of course the natives were no match for guns, and they were soon driven into the bush, but not before they had inflicted terrible loss.Among the killed was (December aron von Norbeck.L.Tha Lian\u2019s baad id in-the very heart \\ To 1 of \u2018the island, being almost equidistant \u2014 RAILWAYS.beween the sides and ends of Guadal- canar.No white man had ever been there before.No white man had ever penetrated the interior before except Mr.C.M.Woodford, and he went only about 15 miles inland, ascending the Aola river.Then he had to turn back for excellent reasons, in which the natives wem concerned.But we must not forget poor Benjamin Boyd, who disappeared among the coast woods and was never seen again.It is said that this well to do Briton intended to declare the island annexed to his country on the strength of his landing there.At any rate he landed with his shotgun and said he was g01ng to shoot a mess of pigeons, and that was the last that was ever seen of poor Ben Boyd.For some years presents were made to the coast natives marked \u2018\u2018B.B.\u2019\u2019 and \u2018\u2018Ben Boyd, we are looking for you,'\u2019 but nothing was ever heard of his fate.The island is about 80 miles long and 40 wide, and it is one of the southern Solomons, in the British territory.A large map has been made of it, chiefly white, for all that it shows is the coasts, the mouth of the rivers, the mountains that cun be seen from the sea, and the two little rivers that Wood- ford bas explored.Alltherest is blank.Lion\u2019s head is a prominent feature, and it is estimated to be 5,500 feet high.In 1886 Mr.Woodford attempted to reach Lion\u2019s head, but was prevented by the hostility of these mountain tribes, who brought tho Austrian party to grief, and by the timidity of his guides.But he lived fix months among the coast natives at the little town of Aola.By means of most liberal presents he made friends with the natives there.They never stole anything from his hut, and he often induced them to accompany him on small trips into the country.; The people living inland usually ran into the bush when they saw him coming, but their fears were allayed by his native friends, who would shout that ho was a good white man who bought butterflies, birds, snakes and stone axes and measured the water.But the people of the mountains still farther inland could not be mollified, and all his attempts to reach Lion\u2019s head and the still bigher mountain of Lammas resulted in failure.The farther he and his coast natives went up the river Aola in their canoes the more timid his escort became.They rounded every bend in the river with spears poised and keeping a good lookout.Any white man on the coasts of the Solomon group must be constantly on his guard.If ho attempts to go inland and ascend a mountain, fis life is hardly worth purchasing, even though a man-of-war may be lying in a neighboring harbor ready to burn a dozen villages if any harm is done.This is the mistake the Austrian party made.The natives are very superstitious about the mountain tops.Some dread object, a huge fish or clam or a devil, always lives there, and.woe will betide the whole island if his peace is disturbed.\u2014\u2014 A Ticket Office has been opened, and all local trains now stop at Westmount, and through express trains will stop to take on and let off passengers from

town.Not a few white traders and natives coming to the Solomon islands on vessels have been killed solely for their heads, for all these natives, like many other savages in the Pacific, regard a collection of human heads as a troasure beyond price.Men-of-war always visit the coast after these murders, but they are usually unable to capture tho culprits, as the natives invariably retire into the bush when they see a warship coming.Awhile ago the English did catch one of the murderers.They got together a large crowd of the natives, and most impressively shot the criminal, but no deep moral effect seems to have been produced.In 1888 Mr.Woodford again visited tho islands, and again he failed to reach the mourtains of Guadalcanar.The Austrians reached the mountains, but paid a terrible price for it.So these islands, discovered by the Spanish more than 300 yoars ago, nre still almost as little known, excepting their coast lines, as the antarctic continent.\u2014New York San.The

talked so much, not long ago, about the \u201cdemon of indefiniteness\u201d will have a chance to apply the epithet to its protege, the new Provincial Treasurer.In the bulky budget speech which he delivered on Wednesday, Hon.Mr.Atwater is very minute in all matters which concern the past, and gives an abundance of information which anyone might compile for himself from published documents, but in everything that concerns the future, in all that should be the meat of a budget speech, the announcement of a policy and of the means to carry it out\u2014he is singularly vague and uncertain, There is one point, however, on which the new treasurer is perfectly frank and explicit, that is, that himself and his colleagues do not intend to carry out the policy of re-paying the railway guarantee deposits out of the currept revenue of the Province nor to observe the solemn pledge given to the electorate of not borrowing any more.On these two points Mr.At- water throws up the case of his party and confesses judgment.There never was a more flagrant violation of a promise most explicitly given by a Government to the people of this country.Speaking not on a hustings and for public effect, but before the Legislature, as the authorized exponent of the doctrines on which he and his colleagues had been returned to office, Hon.J.S.Hall said in 1892: \u201cThere is but one course open, and that is to bring about equilibrium between our receipts and expenditure and avoid new obligations.My predecessor got over all his dificylties by making loans and using trust funds, but this we have to stop, if for no other reason than that the Province should not resort to further borrowing.\u201cWe must continue to show as we have shown last year that our resources are sufficient to meet all our demands, apart from railway subsidies, and as respects these even we have provided for the interest on any loans we may contract for their payment.\u201d It was well for the late treasurer, that the Government, in virtual\u2014perhaps ac- tual\u2014violation of the Independence of parliament Act, had given him a mission to lingland so that he will not be in his scat to compare his programme with that of the present Administration.Therq was another past financier of the Conservative party in the House while the Budget speech was delivered, and it was well for hime also that, his position as a civil servant has reduced him to silence.Mr.L.G.Desjardins, now clerk of the 1Touse, but then the authorized financial critic of the Conservative party, said in 1889: \u201cFrom the actual resources of revenue We can count on an average ordinary receipt of $2,450,000 a year in round figures.This would be sufficient for a wise, prudent and economical government.\u201d Allowing for the increase of interest on the debt, the expenditure should not today exceed $3,800,000.Mr.Atwater estimates the revenue for 1896-97 at $4,116,000.Yet with these increased resources he says that he cannot carry out the policy laid down by his predecessors, and which is the only safe one to pursue.His Gov- troment intends to pay the guarantee deposits with borrowed money, and it intends to borrow Ækouple of millions more for the conversion \u201cof the railway land subsidies.After that admission the balance of his gpeech is of little importance.His pro- vhecies of future surpluses, his contention that there is equilibrium between receipts and expenditure fall to the ground of themselves.The honorable treasurer does not explain the official statement of receipts and expenditure during the first five months of this year, which shows increasing expenditure with a revenue which will be several hundred thousands less than last year.We must take into consideration also that the school aid policy will add $50,000 to the expenditure, and that the interest on new loans will amount to $80,000.To meet these difficulties the treasurer depends: on the conversion of the debt and on an augmented grant from the Federal Government.Business men know what to think of the first remedy.As to the second, it has been declared \u201cinjudicious and undesirable\u201d by the Conserva- ftive party organ.It has to be remembered that under this remedy the taxes would only be shifted.The people cannot escape them unless the Provineial Administration comes down at last to the real policy of retrenchment laid down for it by its first treasurer and demanded by the people.But that policy no longer forms part of the Flynn programme.DELEGATES TO QUEBEC.Delegations of residents of St.Cune- gonde and St.Henri have gone to Quebec to voice the objections of the people of those places to the proposal made in the city bill to tax residents of the suburbs, whose employment is in Montreal.Their going emphasizes the extraordinary fact that except by means of delegations such as these a number of important communities are voiceless at Quebec.Their interests are menaced, yet they are without a representative in the Legislature through whom to defend themselves.They are shut out during this very important session from that right which is inalienably theirs under free institutions, of taking part in the Government of the Province.Eor this the Flynn Govern- tion proposed, which if adopted would take money, unjustly as we think, out of the pockets of the people of Westmount, Qutremont, Cote St.Paul, Maisonneuve, St.Cunegonde and St.Henri, and they are deprived by Mr, Flynn and his colleagues of the opportunity of speaking and voting against it in the Legislature.1t is an illustration, pointed and direct, of the great injustice which is being done to these large and important portions of the Province.The delegations from St.Cunegonde and St.Henri should be heard by the Government and the Legislature upon the floor of the House.They would be exercising no more than their right if they were even allowed a vote upon the proposal against which they are protesting.PREFERENTIAL TRADE, The tariff commissioners enjoyed a notable diversion in Toronto on Wednesday.The flow of the eloquence of gentlemen desiring a great deal for themselves was stopped for a season, while the commissioners heard the plea of gentlemen asking nothing at all on their own behalf, but urging arguments in support of a pra- position which, if brought into effect would he doubtless of substantial value to the Dominion at large.Several gentlemen representing the British Empire League waited upon the Ministers, and urged that the Government take steps to secure the blessings of preferential trade within the Empire.Colonel George Taylor Denison was the first spokesman, and he seems to have made a strong plea for the furtherance of the cause with which in Canada, he has been so prominently identified.Canada would be a great gainer, he said, if they could secure in the British markets, for her products, an advantage over the p:o ducts of other countries.In that case she could afford to give British goods a corresponding advantage in the Canadian markets.Such an arrangement would be the making of Canada, said tne colonel ; it would people the country; it would {ill our vacant lands with homes.But what would be the effect on the manufacturers, he was asked, and he answered that they would not suffer seriously under a preferential tariff.On the contrary they would enjoy the inestimable advantage of a largely increased market.But even if they should not find the arrangement to their taste, they must remember that they were not alone in the country.Theres were other interests to be considered.Colonel Denison said much more to the same effect.Then came Mr.Fielding\u2019s turn.The Finance Minister asked how the representations made by the present delegation were to be reconciled with those made by the manufacturers to whom the Com- missioriers had been listening during the past ten days?He said that these manufacturers had protested against the removal of the duties on British goods.To this Mr.J.Kerr Osborne replied.Mr.Osborne is one of the large stockholders in the Massey-Marris concern.[Te said that he would be quite willing that British goods should enter Canada if the Dominion were to receive compensation in the shape of a preference in the British markets.It may be observed that the Massey-Harris firm enjoys a duty of only 20 per cent.on its finished product, while it pays much higher taxes on its raw materials.As to the tax on its finished product, it probably does not hope to persuade the present Government to grant a higher protection than was granted by the late Administration.That it does not require anything of the sort has been shown by the fact that it has been selling its agricultural implements at a profit in all parts o# the civilized world.Mr.Oskorne\u2019s testimony hefore the Commissioners, therefore, may be esteemed as that of a gentleman enlightened in the experience of a beneficent measure of free trade, Put this phase of the question once opened, the other members of the delegation proceeded with some warmth to proclaim their conviction that if th& arrangement did not please the manufacturer he must just grin and bear it.\u201cIs everything to be done for the manufacturer?\u201d asked Colonel Denison.\u201cIf we should get ten millions of farmers we would be building up this country.\u201d Which is quite true.And Dr.Larratt Smith asked \u201cwhat about the consumer?\u201d Which shows again that in certain minds there are two sides to the tariff question.Most of the delegates dwelt upon the fact that preferential trade wvould enlarge the scope of the farming industry in (Canada, thereby enlarging the market in which the manufacturer might sell his goods to the best profit.Upon such a basis an immense prosperity would: be assured to the country as a whole.But it is to be observed that this is the way the free trader looks at the case.\u2018These are the arguments which lie at the base of Liberal affection fer the proposition, though Liberals commonly hold with regret to the belief that it would be extremely difficult to persuade the people of Great Britain to increase the cost of the British artisans\u2019 loaf in order that the colonial farmer might thrive; to place an embargo upon the bulk of their trade in order that a comparatively small portion of it might be increased.It will be observed that the brand of preferential trade which Colonel Denison and his fellow delegates laid before the Ministers is quite different from Sir Charles Tupper\u2019s proposition.As to the proposal to reduce the Canadian duties on Jritish goods, the opinion of the average Canadian manufacturer was summed up a few months ago by the subsidized organ of the guild.\u201cA man might just as well be kicked to death by a mule as by a horse.\u201d Sir Charles Tupper doubtless saw in this feeling an insurmountable obstacle to the acceptance of the preferential trade proposition in the quarter where he most desired and needed sympathy.Accordingly he devised a schome by idea in their heads.On the contrary, their evidence before the tariff commissioners serves to demonstrate their desire for a wholesome measure of freer trade.The evidence, therefore, is not at all one- sided.AGRICULTURAL LECTURES.The uninitiated who watch the course of the Government's agricultural lecturers through the Province must be edified at the zeal displayed by these gentlemen who insist upon delivering addresses to gatherings of a half-dozen people, as the thing has occurred in several localities to our knowledge.But when the people understand what these gentlemen are working for we believe their admiration will be somewhat mitigated.For instance, Dr.W.Grignon, of St.Adele, is a physician who finds time to attend to his practice, to run a farm of his own and even to do a little political canvassing between his lecturing tours.Last year he reports, however, having delivered 113 lectures, for which he received a salary of $1,200 and $873 for expenses.This is an average of nearly $20 a lesson.How many school teachers would be glad to get the same amount for a week\u2019s teaching to a full school.Mr.O.E.Daloire was less active.He only received $530 for travelling expenses, but nevertheless got his regular salary of $1,000 a year Dr.Coulombe\u2019s pittance is indefinite.The public accounts show that he received several thousand dollars to be distributed as relief to certain farmers and that for various services he was to get a part of the sum.But there is enough to show that he drew over a thousand dollars.Mr.E.A.Barnard, who is sometimes seen at the great conventions, gets a regular salary of £2,000 as secretary of the Council of Agriculture, and some time ago he found leisure to do little extra jobs which brought him $1,300 more of the public funds, Dr.J.E.Tremblay is a minor light; his field is the Labrador Coast.The Government last year paid him $134.29, gave him a yacht to travel in, $300 for future repairs to said yacht and $200 for travelling expenses.The only official record of his § work is that he was entrusted with the distribution of $15 worth of seeds to the inhabitants of Pointe aux Esquimaux.Even the celebrated advocate, Mr.Charles Thibault, did not disdain to help the cause of agriculture and to draw on the Government for $8 for:one lecture.When one considers the utter neglect of the needs of real education in this Province it is difficult not to feel indignant at this distribution of favors to political friends by a so-called administration of economy.NOTES AND COMMENTS.For a definition of equilibrium apply to Provincial Treasurer Atwater.> When a provincial treasurer finds that his expenditures exceed his receipts all he need do is to put into a second column labeled \u201c\u2018extraordinary\u201d enough items to bring the expenditures gufliciently below the receipts to leave him a surplus.Two classes of objections are raised against preferential trade.The consumer of Great Britain will not increase the cost of his loaf for the benefit of the colonial wheat-grower, and, secondly, the protected Canadian manufacturer will not consent to losing for the sake of the British manufacturer any of his present advantage.The banquet to be given by the Club National to Hon.Mr.Laurier on the 20th inst., will be an affair of very notable importance.It is announced that Premier Greenway and Hon.Mr.Pren- dergast of Manitoba will be also with the Hon.Clifford Sifton from that Province.A large represcnta- tion of the members of Hon.Mr.Laurier\u2019s Cabinet will be present.present The dawn of a rational public opinion with regard to highly-protected manufacturers is at hand.It is not necessary for us to say that manufacturers are entitled to fair play and fair consideration.And that is all that the great majority of them desire.Conservatives have been accustomed to seek to flatter them by pretending that they should have more.But when we see good Conservatives like Colonel G.T.Denison: and those who were with him before the Ministers at Toronto declaring that there are other interests in Canada than those of the manufacturers, it is the harbinger of fred® thinking in Canadian politics.And freer thinking means fairer thinking, ultimately.THE LAY OF THE PERMANENT OFFICIAL, Oh, he comes up proud, This god of the crowd, This Cabinet Minister callow, And he takes command In a manner grand, : But his mind is a field that is failow, And I train this man On a perfect plun, And his business he learns by snatches ; And we always hold By this rule of gold That 1 write, and he signs the despatches.Ile wears the while An Olympian smile, And he sits like a god in the vapours ; And he sniffs the praise That the people raise And the House and the Clubs and the papers.But I know what it means, I'm behind the scenes, I pierce through the veil of his glories ; For the work, I swear, Has been all my share, While this \u2018\u2018atter\u2019\u201d tulit honores \"Tis a task of weight To keep matters straight, For his order curt and concise is, And he likes to feel His hand at the wheel When there looms in the distance a crisis.And there comes a day When he has his way, And I see and in silence deplore It (For \u2019tis etiquette For me and my set, If the man\u2019s a fool, to ignore Ît)e Yet if he should Strike the attitude Of the patriot Patrine Pater, Jf he will do small harm, For there's still my arm Behind\u2014so it docs not much matter,

Managed by the Ladies of St.Bartholomew's and Calvin Churches.et A very novel and pretty entertainment is being given by the ladies of St.Bartholomew\u2019s Reformed Episcopal Church.The idea carried out is of a Mother Goose Market and the different stalls represent the familiar Mother Goose nursery rhymes.At the entrance one is confronted by \u201cThe King was in his counting-house, counting out his money,\u201d in the person of Mr.E.Roberts, who takes in the tickets.The fair is held in the lecture hall of the church, and the large central booth is where you find \u201cMary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow ?\u201d and \u201cSugar and spice and all that\u2019s nice,\u201d in the form of flowers and home-made candy.The ladies presiding, in fancy costumes with garden hats, are Miss Atkinson, Miss Smyth, Miss Flossie Parkins, Miss Black and Miss Waite.In a corner is espied little Jack Horner presiding over a huge pie, filled with all kinds of pretty things which are pulled cut by strings on the payment of five cents.The young ladies in charge are the Migse Venables, Crockford, Grace and Thompson.Then we come to \u201cThe maids were in the garden hanging out the clothes,\u201d where Mrs.S.Elliott, Miss Boyle and Miss Scott in costume hang on lines garments of all descriptions for sales.\u201cPretty Miss Polly\u2019s\u201d Variety Table has all kinds of fancy work and is in charge of Miss Sloan, Miss Malone, and Miss Edith Taylor in gipsy costume.A Room of Mystery, representing an art gallery, is very interesting and amusing.\u201cThere was an old woman who lived in : a shqe\u201d is well shown by a collection of dolls of all sizes and styles, in and around an immense shoe.Miss Mabel Platt, dressed as the Little Old Woman, and Miss M.Yarkins, Miss Slavin and Miss McKee arc in charge.\u201cBaa, Baa, Black Sheep\u201d is the stall where woollen goods of all kinds are sold.Miss Martin, as Little Bo-Peep, and Miss R.Spindlo in fancy costume preside at this very pretty table.\u201cThree blind mice,\u201d etc, is a well-ar- ranged booth, with Miss Mariotti and Miss Parkins dressed up as farmer\u2019s wives, and fruit, butter, marmalade and other homemade dainties for sale.They have also a novelty in iron-holders, made out of cloth, representing chickens and roosters.Mention must be made of the very inviting refreshment booth presided over by Mrs.C.Mariotti, Mrs.Parkins and Mrs.Smyth.Here ice-cream, cake, tea and coffee can be had, and a very nice supper, indeed, from 6 to 8.Miss Rachel Parkins makes a most attractive Mother Goose in her red skirt and stockings, pretty polonaaise, white apron and conical-shaped hat.Miss Par- kins flew around among the guests, introducing them to the many attractions.Last evening Towle\u2019s orchestra furnished the music, and this evening McKee\u2019s band will be in attendance.Miss Percy is in charge of scales for all wishing to try their weight after supper.The object of the ladies in getting up this very creditable entertainment is to wipe off the church debt.They should be well patronized to-day from 4 to 10 p.m.A Montreal lady, Mrs.Monette, has an exhibition of fancy work of all kinds, at her house, 747 Shebrooke Street.While the greater part of the work has heen done by herself, the exhibition includes many novelties from New York, Paris and Germany.The exhibition is now open to the publie all day, but from the 11th inst.up till Christmas during the evening also.One of the very newest things is fancy jewel work and many beautiful designs are shown.Some exquisite Brussels lace also attracted attention, but it is unnecessary to enumerate all the pretty and uséful articles here, as they can be seen and judged by anyone desirous of doing so.The Ladies\u2019 Aid of Calvin Church held a grand apron and bag fair in Drummond Hall yesterday afternoon and evening.The object of the sale was to pay for repairs recently made in the church.The hall presented a very pretty appearance with the numerous booths and decorations.There were four apron tables as follows :\u2014 Fancy apron table in charge of Mrs.Taylor, assisted by Miss.Stevenson ani Miss Boon.Maids\u2019 aprons, in charge of Mrs.Gow, Miss Effie Brown and Miss Grace Brown.Kitchen aprons, Mrs.McLeod, Miss Anderson and Miss Fowney.Nurses aprons, Mrs.Clelland, Mrs.Ross and Miss Barr.The flower table looked very pretty and was presided over by Mrs, Meldrum and Mrs.Oborne, assisted by the Misses Mel- drum, Taylor, and Clelland in costume.The candy table, with tempting homemade candy, was in charge of Mra.Hardisty, Mrs, Forbes, Mrs.Niblo and Miss Woods.Then the bag table with bags of all kinds was looked after by Miss Stewart and Miss Niblo, and the table of child- rens\u2019 pinafores by Mrs.A.Anderson, Mrs.Fleming and Miss Spaulding.The refreshment room, where ice-cream and cake and supper could he obtained, Was under the management of Mrs.Pringle end Mrs.Dyer, assisted by Mrs.Kelly, Miss Barry, Miss Gertie Barry, Miss Woods, Miss Wilson, and Miss Stewart.In a separate room a large oil painting of Montredl, as it was 80 years ago, was on exhibition and in charge of Mrs.McCormack.This picture is the property of Mr.Withall, and is said to have been rainted by British officers at that time.Music supplied by Ratto\u2019s Orchestra completed a very pleasant entertainment.St.Mary's College Hall was filled last evening with a most appreciative audience, to hear the well-known and celebrated lecturer, Henry Austin Adams, M.A., of New York.Judge Curran was on the platform, and introduced the distinguished speaker of the evening.None were disappointed, for the lecture was, In every sense, a great intellectual treat.Mr.Adams treated his subject, \u2018Culture manent and Character,\u201d in a vigorous and masterly manner.\u201cJhere are,\u201d said the lecturer, \u201ctwo great classes in the world at the present dav.Those who take a pessimistic view of life, and on the other the optimistic.There were two great schools of the prophets, the Jeremiahs and the Isaiahs.The Jeremiahs bewailing and crying \u201cWoe, woe,\u201d and the Isaiahs saying \u201cComfort re\u201d The education and development of the individual was clearly and forcibly dealt with.\u201cDown in my country,\u201d said Mr.Adams, \u201cwe are a decidedly self-conscious people.I do not know what the people here are like, so I can speak frankly.\u201d At the great Centennial Exposition in 1876, was the beginning of a great wave of culture, which has swept all over America, with its storm centre in Boston.\u201d \u201cJust think of it, in the State of Ohio alone we have 240 universities, not schools or kindergartens, but universities.Only vesterday I heard of a new university just opened in Waccoo, Texas.TL was totally ignorant even of the existence of such a place, but here it was with a university !\u201d external and social amenities of the civilized world the universal demand for culture was demonstrated.In New York, a woman belongs to innumerable clubs, not social clubs.A hu morous and most diverting picture was then drawn of the vast army of to-day dabbling in literature of all kinds.\u201cBut,\u201d said Mr.Adams, \u201cthis intellectual intoxication that has scized upon the world means something, and must have great results.All students of philosophy will look beneath the surface to find out what the tendency of current events 18 leading to, and what the ultimate eifect on character of this great revolution will be.\u201cCould any revelation of fact hurt me by knowing it?I say it ean\u2019t.I claim that Truth is God\u2019s, and is to the last atom.\u201cWe can drink in all this vast new knowledge, all that is required is intellectual honesty and to know oursclves.1 feel confident that this wide democratic spread of knowledge, based on truth, will develop into a real, noble culture in the coming century.\u2019 The lecture was listened to with rapt altention throughout, and at the close a vote of thanks, moved by Judge Curran, was unanimously passed to the lecturer for his most admirable address.HOMŒPATHIC HOSPITAL, An Outline of the Work Done by This Institution During the Year.The annual meeting of the Governors of the Montreal Homoeopathic Hospital was held in the Governgrs room at the hospital, 44 McGill College Avenue, yesterday afterpoon.The following were noticed among those present: Mrs.Hector Mackenzie, Mrs.E.Von Rappaud, Mrs.H.M.Patton, Miss Annie Moodie, Miss M.E.Baylis, Messrs.Samuel Bell, E.G.O\u2019Connor, Doctors Wanless, Griffith, I.M.Patton and E.M.Morgan.: The Superintendent\u2019s (Dr.H.M.Patton) report showed the total number of patients for the year to have been 163\u2014 males, 57; females, 79; children, 27; publie, 118; semi-public, 20; private, 25; Protestants, 145; Catholics, 18.Surgical operations, 54.The total deaths were 7, being a death rate of 4 per cent., or, omit- ting cases which were hopeless upon en- | tering, of but 1 and 1-5 per cent.During | the year the training school for nurses, | which is known as the \u201cPhillips\u201d Training School, graduated two nurses, Miss Kgan and Miss Adams, both of whom have had constant employment since their graduation.Dr.William McHarrie, Assistant Superintendent, read the report of the Outdoor Department, which he stated was a most admirably equipped one.He also noted that the statistics, though covering a period of twelve months, practically should only represent ten, for during the months of April and May the disturbance in consequence of the removal to new quarters prevented the steady continuance of the work.The total prescriptions were 933.of which 25 were surgical and 928 medical.The patients treated were: Men, 71; women, 157; children, 96; total, 324.Fit- tcen cases requiring other treatment than the dispensary could give were sent to the hospital wards.The eye and ear de- | partment, under the charge of Dr.E.M.Morgan, is a new and exceedingly well l egvipped feature of the outdoor work.Dr.Morgan comes from Philadelphia with excellent recommendations.The cost of the maintenance of the hospital for the year was $3,173.60, and the receipts, $3,- 157.22, but there are current outstanding cbligations of some $900.During the past year an extension has been added to the former buildinge which has about doubled the capacity of the hospital.A debt of some $2,700 has been incurred by this extension, however, aad the management are looking for donations for its liquidation.The following officers were elected: President, Samuel Bell; Vice-Presidents, James Baylis, Major R.J.Evans; Secretary, Joseph Gould; Treasurer, E.GO'Connor; Committee of Management, Lady Van Horne, and Mesdaries Hector Mackenzie, G.D.Phillips, Charles Morton, Sutherland Taylor, A.O.Granger, Thomas Nichol, R.J.Evans, I.Thomas, and Miss Annie Moodie.The following were elected the Medical Board for the ensuing year: Physicians, indoor\u2014John Wanless, A.R.Griffith, William McHarrie, E.A.Grafton, and I.M.Morgan; surgeon, H.M.Patton; outdoor physicians, T.Scott Nichol, À.D.Patton, Laura Muller; eye and ear department, E.M.Morgan; superintendent, Dr.H.M.Patton.Mr.J.8.Puchan was elected honorary solicitor and Mr.I.Radford honorary auditor.What to Do With Stones.On many farms the question what to do with the stones will not stay answered.Every working of the land with our modern harrows and cultivators brings them to the surface, and some way must be found for disposing of them.Following is a hint from a contributor to the New York Tribune.He writes: In a sloping hollow on one side of the field, sown with wheat, a permanent fence and asmall watercourse were both needed.We cleared away the old fence, straightened the channel and dug a ditch three feet wide and two feet deep.In this ditch was set a line of good cedar posts, 8 feet long, 20 feet apart, except the end ones, which are 8 feet, and braced by putting in one post horizontally.The ditoh was filled to the surface with small stones.Large stones were then drawn and placed on top of the small ones, without much regard to size or manner of laying.Two strands of wire completed the fence.I use the braided wire, which is very elastic and stands changes of temperature better than any other.Tt is stretched tight with ropes and pulleys, stands heavy snowbanks without breaking, has no dangerous barbs and has proved satisfactory for a dozen years or more.In doing this job we cleared 12 acres, used up two large piles of stones that had always been in the way and in the combined fence and ditch have made a very substantial improvement, The lecturer also showed how in the | NEWS FROM BRAZIL Ahe Canadian Emigrants Are Suffering Severely.SHORT OF FOOD AND MONEY Three Interesting Letters From the Expatriated Ones.Pitiful Appeals for Assistance to Hnable Them to Return to \u201cDear Old Canada\u201d and Comfort.Mr.Etienne Beauchamp, of St.Lawrence Street, St.Jean Baptiste Ward, has received the following letter from his daughter, who, with her husband, sailed for Brazil on the Moravia: Santa, Santa Anna,\u2014Dear father and mother,\u2014The present is to enquire about the state of your health as well as that of the whole family.As for us we are all pretty well.It took 23 days to make the trip, but the voyage was very hard on the children.We arrived at San Paulo the 3rd of October, and we were given a good mattress on the floor, at the Immigration Agency.But, instead of going to the plantations, we stayed in the city of San Pau- lo.We live near the city where we have found kind persons who have given work to do to Jean and Meredic which is very satisfactory to us.As to the plantations, we are told that there is hardship there.Now, here we are fairly well off, but we hope that everything will go better later on, for there is any amount of work and no dead season.As to those who left for the plantations they have already come back and they are all very angry.Luckily, we did not go out there ourselves, for we had been notified.The temperature is not bad, it is very fair around here and we hope that our health will be improved.Papa, it is well that you did not come, and you were right when you said how it was, but now we are here and find it very lonesome.I have now finished my letter, dear father and mother, and allow me to kiss you all for the whole family.(Signed) MARIE BEAUCHAMP, wife of Jean Seguinel.Two letters from one Napoleon Briere are as follows : San Paulo, 25th Oct., 1896.Dear father and mother,\u2014I am writing you these few lines to let you know how we are getting on.We left Montreal on the 15th of September and we lost sight of land on the 19th.We did not see land again until the 15th of October.We again lost sight of it the next day and saw it again on the 2lst.We stayed in Santos one day and two nights to pass quarantine.Paulo by rail, and there we were all lodged in the immigration house.I cannot describe that house to vou.My wife and children are very feeble.1 live in a house composed of three apartments, and there are three families living in those three small rooms, that is to say 12 persons; we pay 1.000 reis for the dwelling, The money around here is called reis; mo silver, all paper money and nickel, As to the temperature it is not too hot.1t is now the same here as in the month of August in Montreal.There is not much work.I have been through the shoe-makers\u2019 shops and I could find no work.Then we went to San | on paper money while we gain 14 cents on gold.If you cannot send me any sell my waggon and send me the proceeds p of the sale, or try and make a collection for us and send it to Me.I must have sogge money soon; if not, all will soon be over.I need $150 for our pasage, $60 each and for something to eat, and remark that it is third class that it costs so much as that.(Signed) NAPOLEON BRIERE.BARBARA FREITCHIE, Another Version of the Incident Made Famous by Whittier\u2014The Real Heroine, It seems a pity to upset so pretty a picture as the ope drawn by Whittier of the aged Barbara Freitchie waving the stars and stripes over the heads of tie rebel hosts as they marched through Frederick, but truth compels the states ment that Barbara only displayed the flag after the arrival of the Federal troops, while a younger woman dared the rebels, without, however, being fired upon.Barbara\u2019s maiden name was Haner, and she was born on Dec.8, 1766, in Lancaster, Pa.Her family moved to Frederick, Md., when she was a child, and in 1806 she married John Casper Freitohio.One of her relatives now living in Frederick is authority for the following statement: \u201cBarbara was intensely patriotio, and in September, 1862, when the Union soldiers drove the rebels out of Frederick, Barbara manifested her delight by standing at her window with a silk flag in her hand.Owing to her advanced age (nearly 86) she attracted a great deal of attention, both officers and privates breaking ranks to shake her by the hand.For three hours she continued by the window, until, becoming exhausted, she was persuaded to come in and rest.Earlier in the day a younger woman had waved a &mall Union flag from a house in the same street while the rebels were passing.She was not fired upon, however.\u201cIn the excitement following on the retreat of the rebels the two incidents became blended together, and a resident of the town, writing to Mrs.E.D.E.N.Southworth, treated them as one.Mrs.Southworth, feeling that she could not do justice to the theme, wrote an account of it to the poet Whittier, who, stretching poet\u2019s license to the limit, penned the well known verses entitled \u2018Barbara Freltchie.\u2019 \u2018\u2018Barbara\u2019s home was situated on West Patrick street, on the dast bank of Carroll creek.Directly opposite was the town spring, whose waters still bubble up as refreshingly as they did through all the years of our bitter strife.Whichever party held Frederick was sure to be rep: resented by its soldiers at that spring.There during hot summer days they would lounge in the shade of Barbara\u2019s stoop.If it were the boys in blue, she was very gracious and would come down and lend them her tumblers or her dipper and give them biscuits, but not so the Confederates, whom she would drive from her premises or order from her portico with a majestic motion of her cane, her great age protecting her from insolence or harm.\u201cBarbara died &n Dec.18, 1862, at the age of 96 years and 15 days.She was buried beside her husband in the German Reformed church yard of Frederick.\u201cIn 1868 a flood did a great deal of damage to property on West Patrick street, and Barbara\u2019s house was condemned and torn down to widen Carroll creek.The carpenter who razed the house made canes of the balustrade and sold them.One was sent to General Grant as a souvenir.sale of a portion of her furniture, and it was my pleasure afew years since to seo a bedstead owned by her in an upholsterer\u2019s store.Old fashioned, severely plain and simple, I should have passed I do not know when I will get something is no money to earn.My friend who came along with us got acquainted with another tamily and he has left San Paulo.But that family will soon leave for Quebec, and he will find himself alone.That pretended friend has much mis-led me.I would like very much to go back, but us some, do so as soon as possible, be- \u2018cause I have none at all and I must help the two other families to pay \u201cthe rent.If you have no money, sell all my vehicles and do so immediately.My address is as follows: Napoleon Briere, Immigration Street, San Paulo, Brazil.You will send me $150 for my passage.J can work on board the ship.It costs $30 for my little children.We are, for life, your unfortunate children.Oh, if we could all die we would all be very happy.P.S.\u2014As to the money, send a draft after depositing the amount with some bank, and the money will be collected here by some Brazilian bank.Send it payable in English gold.(Signed) NAPOLEON BRIERE.San Paulo, Nov.1, 1898.Dear father and mother,\u2014You will, no doubt, be glad to hear from us again.I have been sick four days, but I am still working for a railway company.I wash the cars and do the dusting.I will tell you how much I earn; it is 60 cents a day.Everything is very expensive.We only eat one meal; how we would like to eat more, but my salary will not permit more.You may see by that what kind of a life I lead here.I can only trust that God will give me health to continue to work and that vou will send me some money to enable me to get back to our dear Canada.There I am sure to find some work to enable us to live.If it goes on, if we do not eat more than that, we shall all die.My little child is like a skeleton, and he never stops crying for something to eat.Milk cost 10 cents the half-pint.We have only been able to buy some once.Liquor is cheaper; beer 6 cents a bottle, and whiskey 2 cents a glass.Shoes are $4 a pair, and that is the lowest price.I have none on my feet.Being Wet all the time, you will understand that it is no easy matter to get cured.Jf you only knew what misery there is here.Nobody in Canada can even imagine it.Homesickness and hunger will kill us all.We ate a good meal this morning; we had four eggs and some bread for breakfast.We will draw our monthly salary to-morrow.Of $4.40, which T am to draw, I owe $3.04.I will have the balance to pass the month.My foreman lends me some money every twec.or three days.As to the climate, it is not too bad, but I am informed that next month the fever season will commence and that many people would die of the fever.Tf you could only see the quantity of bananas, oranges and every imaginable fruit here in Brazil.Tt is extraordinary.There are not many horses around here, but thefe are plenty of mules.There are no swallows in the streets.As to the money that you are going to send me, it must be English money and in gold, for we lose 20 cents per dollar to do.Everything is dear here and there ; I have no money.If you are able to send: it a hundred times without noticing it had my attention not been called to it by the sterekeeper, who told me he had purchased it from a Frederick dealer upon a sworn affidavit as to its genuineness.The bed on which she died is now owned and used by a great-great nephew.Her sideboard is the property of another nephew.\u201cThe historic silk flag is in the possession of the niece who stood upon that memorable occasion by Barbara's side while the latter held it in her hand; also among her priceless treasures this same niece values a blue china coffeepot, which was the property of Barbara, and from which coffee was served to General Washington when he visited Frederick in 1781.Upon that occasion Washington spent the night at Mrs.Kimbal\u2019s hotel, where the City hotel now stands, and Barbara Freitchie brought her Liverpool china to grace the table.\u2018\u201cWhittier painted truthfully when he said: «The clustered spires\\of Frederick stand Green walled by the hills of Maryland.\u201cSingularly enough, the churches are all grouped togethers within a stone's throw of each other.Barbara was a member of the German Reformed, with Dr.Zacharias as pastor.A few years after the war he was interviewed by some admirers of Whittier's exquisite lines.\u2018Ah, yes,\u2019 answered the doctor tenderly, \u2018I was Barbara Freitchie\u2019s pastor for nearly 80 years.I handed her the cup and the bread.At our communion service she always partook, as had been her lifelong habit, standing, and afterward was sure to shake hands cordially with her pastor.\u2019 \u2019\u2019~\u2014DBoston Herald.Tall Top Dressing.In reply to the query, \u2018\u2018Is fall top dressing wasteful?\u201d\u201d American Calti- vator says: There is no waste in spreading fresh manure or that not composted on grass lands in the fall of the year unless they are liable to be flooded.In the frst place, tho fresh manure has no readily available nitrogen to be wasted in any way.Its soluble portions will be washed by rains in among the grass roots, and when spring comes, warming the soil, this manure will decompose in contact with it and be in the best position to help the gra£s crop.There is usually on grass land no wastage of rainwater through the soil until spring, and, with no available nitrogen in the soil, none can be washed away It is different, hOwever, with well rotted manure.That is lar available nitrogen, and we shoul® not like to put that in the full even oun grass land.English experiments show considerable losses of nitrogen in analyses of water from underdrains where the land above was fall manured with nitrate of soda.Fermented manure has its nitrogen very nearly if not quite as \u201cAfter Barbara\u2019s death there was a J soluble as has nitraté of soda.You 6ah keep the pile of fresh manure under cover during the winter, mix some phosphate with it and apply both when well rotted to the grass land late in winter without much danger of loss.The advantage of winter composting is that tho manure will sooner begin to help the grass crop or the crops that are planted if the grass is plowed under for that purpose.Ffrangcon Davies at Windsor Hall tonight, admission 50c.Births, marriages, deaths inserted in this column free of charge.Readersare asked

Club.INSPECTOR JONCAS TALKS.The National-Capital Game Declared a Draw.Jottings From The Turf-Local and General Sporting News of the Day./ The 38th annual dinner of the Fish and Game Protection Club of the Province of Quebec was enjoyed in the lower dining room of St.Lawrence Hall last night.The dinner was a good one, capital in every respect\u2014quite true, the partridge went only half-way round, but it was the popularity of the bird that so quickly used it up\u2014but beyond this the three score gentlemen who sat down enjoyed themselves to their hearts content, and when the gathering sang auld lang syne, there was a universal verdict that the night had been as of old.The tables were choicely decorated with flowers by Mr.James White, and Mr.Herbert Spencer\u2019s orchestra played most beautiful music.There was no lack of garety throughout the evening, song and joke made the occasion a most merry one from first to last, The chair was occupied by President J.T.Finnie, M.D., who made a splendid little speech in proposing the Frsh and Game interests ot Canada, \u201cthough more particularly those of Quebec.\u201d In glowing words he declared that Quebec had a greater amount of wealth in its game and fish than any like ground on the continent.\u201cIn the world,\u201d cried a voice from the tables, and a shout of approval went up.\u201cThe Fish and Game interests of Canada,\u201d was then drunk with the greatest enthusiasm possible.Mr.L.Z.Jocas, ev-M.P.for Gaspe, Chief Inspector of Fisheries and Game ot Quebec, who represented the local Government, arose to respond.Ie begged that Hon.Mr.Nantel should be excused.His opening remarks were of praise to the Fish and Game Protection Club, and cone tinuing he said : \u2014 I need not tell you that it is with the greatest pleasure I have accepted to be present to-night at the thirty-eighth annual dinner of the Fish and Game Protection Club.The Honorable Commissioner of Crown Lands, who values so highly the important services rendered by your club to the Province of Quebec, would have been happy to accept your kind invitation, but most important business necessitated his preserce in the House of As sembly.He begs to be excused, but before I left the old Capital to come here and partake of your hospitality, he asked me to tell you that he was with you ticart and soul and that you will at any time find him very well disposed and even anxious to help you in the patriotic work you have undertaken.\u2018 The Hon.Mr.Nantel realizes the importance of preserving our game and fish.He knows that from this source a great revenue can be derived for the Province, and he relies upon the good work of your club to help him in the task he has undertaken, You have done a goqd deal already, and the Province owes you in this respect a debt of gratitude, which I hope will be Tecognized.When I accepted from the Government the position of superintendent of fish and game, I knew that I would have to meet with many difficulties and to avercome Many obstacles; but knowing as I do the richness of our fisheries and game territories, I did not hesitate in undertaking the organization of a branch of the civil service, which, if properly managed, can vield before many months a large revenue and throw thousands of dollars in the public treasury.But to succeed in this work, the Government Wants, and I want, the help of all the citizens, irrespective of party politics, who, like you, understand how important it is to educate our people, to teach them the respect of the law of the land and to prevent poachers, whether residing in or out of this Province, to kiil the hen laying golden eggs.\u201cThere is not another country in the world, perhaps, which can boast of having such rich game and fish territories as the Province of Quebee, but if the work of destruction which is now carried on is allowed to continue much longer, they will soon be exhausted.And, therefore, we appeal to all men of good will to help us In preserving this source of revenue of wealth and of pleasure.\u2019 We do not want to prevent the inhabitants of this Province from enjoying all the advantages which Nature has provided for them; we do not want to prevent the settlers from taking from the lakes, from the rivers and from the forests the game and fish necessary for their subsistence and that of their families; but we want everybody to respect the law which has been framed for the benefit: of the whole community; we want, above all things, to prevent poaching and to stop poachers from throwing game and fish on the markets out of season.We want\u2019 also to teach to foreigners who are coming into this Province by hundreds every year to fish,.hunt and shoot without permit or license, that this kind of abuse cannot be tolerated any lov ger.Foreigners are always welcome to this Province of ours, which is\u2019 the paradise of sportsmen.Every one of them can have, if he so wishes, a section of territory of his own where he can enjoy fishing and hunting, but they must not any longer be under the impression that they can enjoy all these privileges without paying for them.The Government is quite willing to give everybody, Canadians or not Canadians, every possible facility to enjoy every kind of sport in this Province, and for this object large and numerous sections of this country will be set aside for fishing and bunting purposes.Parks are already in existence; more will be created.Easy access to them will be provided, but at the same time the Government is quite determined to enforce the laws and to allow ncbedy, however rich, however powerful, however high he may be in the social or political ladder, to infringe upon the regulations protecting game and fish.Unfortunately bad example comes from very high sometimes.But we hope that in future every citizen will understand the necessity of helping the Government to carry on a prograrame which is in the interest of all.Guardians will be appointed in every part of the Provnce.The intention is to pay them well enough to allow them to give all their time to the performance ef their duty.They will be carefully chcsen amongst the best men who are to be found for this kind of work, but our territory is so large and so extended\u2014some of our best game and fish territories are so remote from places where justice can be readily applied\u2014that outside of the vigilance of the regular and official guardians the Government will have to expect help from organizations like your own.Your co-operation is already granted and given to the department, I know, but we would view with great pleasure the creation of clubs like the \u201cGame and Fish Protection of Montreal\u201d in other parts of the Province\u2014clubs undertaking, as yon have undertaken, a labor of love for the benefit of the Province.Mr.H.de Puyjalon, General Inspector of Game and Fish, also said a tew words, and Mr.Joncas wound up by stating that a measure was to be presented to the House at once forbidding spring shooting.This was received with great and prolonged appiause, Mr.J.P.Roche sang a capital song and he did it well.Then Mr.1.Varney gave two of his famous recitals.Mr.J.B.Tressider proposed our guests in a finished little speech.Mr.G.W.Macdougall, who is the honorary counsel of the club, replied.He pointed out the necessity of new laws in order to bring about a greater force and power to the club.His speech bristled with enthusiasm for the noble sport, and was received with like enthusiasm.Mr.Joncas, as a guest, asked to be ad- witted to the membership of the club.Major F.Gourdeau, Deputy Minister of Marine and Fisheries, thanked the assem: bly for a pleasant evening and also added a request that his name should be added to the role of membership.; To.Ald.Penny, M.P., fell the pleasing task of toasting the ladies.He explained that Mr.G.W.Stephens, jr., was to respond and then with \u201cFor they are jolly good fellows\u201d the toast was drunk.Mr.Stephens said solemnly \u2018Gentlemen, under a halo of almost perfect baldness I vise to reply.\u201d Then, amid great amusement, he responded in a speech that was as happy as it was enjoybale.Mr.Macdougall sang well \u201cThe Briga dier\u201d and then ex-Ald.James proposed the press \u201c It is a great institution and it can do wonders\u2019 he said, with a glance at Ald.Penny, M.P.The gathering sang the old refrain and drank he toast which was responded to by the members of the press who were present.' Ald.Sadler, Mr.Stephens and others wound up a very pleasant evening with songs and speeches.Mr.J.S.Leo, the Hon.Secretary, is laid up with a broken leg and after an expression of sympathy for him, Mr.H.G.Elliott, the ex-Hon.Secretary read letters of regret from the following: | Hon.Wilfrid Laurier, Hon.Mr.Fiynn, Hon.S.H, Davies, Dr.McCallum, Henry ITogan, Judge Desnoyers, Judge Dugas.Fon.J.M.Gibson, Toronto and Mayor Wilson-Smith.ROWING AND SAILING.MR.LEHMANN'S POSITION.Some Harvard men are concerned over certain criticisms which have been made against Mr.Lehmann, the English rowing coach, who has been instructing the oarsmen at Cambridge in the art of rowing.Said a well-known Harvard graduate the other day: \u201cR.C.Watson, the Harvard coach of the last two years, was in England last spring, at the time of the Oxford- Cambridge race, and met Mr.Lehmann, and expressed to him the pleasure it would give Harvard men if he (Mr.Lehmann) would come to America to coach the 1897 crew, and said at the time that Harvard would be very pleased to pay his travelling expenses and to entertain him as their : guest while he was in this country.Mr.Lehmann doclined to entertain the invitation on the terms proposed, but said if he came to this country it would be at his own expense.° \u201c Later, Mr.Peabody, of Boston, who had rowed with Mr.Lehmann in a Cambridge (England) crew, and who had rowed in the Harvard University crew, urged Mr.Lehmann by letter to come this autumn to Cambridge and coach the crew.Mr.Lehmann accepted the invitation, with the understanding that he would not allow any part of his travelling expenses to be paid; that he would come this autumn and coach the crew as long as they were up the river, return to this country in the spring as soon as the river opened, and remain with the crew until the race.\u201c Mr.Lehmann came out of true love of sport and as à true amateur sportsman, insisting that if he accepted a penny as compensation for his services, either in the form of expenses or otherwise, he would cease to be an amateur, and should and ought to be barred hereafter from engaging in amateur sports.\u201c Whatever success Mr.Lehmann may have as a coach, he has set an example for college graduates in this country in showing them what is the true course for amateur sportsmen to follow, and his conduët is in strong contrast with that of the referees, umpires and lincsmen in the college football games, who always expect and receive $100 or less for the services which they render at a game, and which should, under Mr.Leh- mann's principles, debar them and all college graduates who receive compensation for coaching college teams from the ranks of amateurs.\u201d PARRY'S CHALLENGE TO GAUDAUR.Toronto, Dec.10.\u2014The articles from W.A.Barry, the English oarsman,as the basis of an agreement for a race with Gaudaur for the championship, have been received here, and forwarded to the champion.The artitles provide for a straight-away scullers\u201d race, from Putney Bridge, to the ship at Mortlake, in 1897, for the sum of £250 a side, the championship of the world and the \u201cSportsman\u201d challenge cup (providing the consent of the trustees be obtained).The race to be rowed according to such of thhe new Thames National rules as are applicable.The question of the deposits is left open.The editor of the Sportsman is appointed final stake-holder.The umpire to be chosen with the time of the final deposit, but, in the event of the parties not agreeing, the stake-holder is empowered to appoint that official.Either party failing to comply with any of the conditions shall forfeit all money down in the hands of the stake-holder.Gaudaur is to receive £235 for expenses.The articles are witnessed by I.Fox, Barry\u2019s chief backer.No date for the race Is mentioned in the articles, but the suggestion is made in an accompanying communication that it be rowed on April 3 or 19, on both of which days there will be suitable tides.It is not thought that the champion would accept so low an amount for expenses as that proposed, £25.1t is said, however, that if Gaudaur could arrange to row both Barry and Harding within ten days of each other, with a proper allowance for the expenses of the journey, he might be induced to cross the ocean again next spring.THE RING.THE SHARKEY-FITZSIMMONS ROW.San Francisco, Dec.10.\u2014The legal contest between Sharkey and Fitzsimmons for the possession of the $10,000 purse has commenced before the Superior Court.Excitement was intense when the proceedings, began in the crowded court-room yesterday.and Manager Julian brought out his witnesses to prove the conspiracy, which he stated had deprived Fitzsimmons of the purse.\u201cAustralian Billy\u201d Smith, one of Shar- key\u2019s trainers, was the first witness.He detailed his work in connection with preparing Sharkey for the ring, and said when the question of selecting a referee was mooted in Sharkey\u2019s quarters, he was asked to suggest a referee.Witness suggested Hiram Cook, and said Lynch then asked him if he knew Cook well enough \u201cto talk business with him.\u201d Afterwards witness suid Lynch characterized Cook as \u201cno good\u201d because he would not favor his own brother in the fight, On the evening | | of the fight Sharkey told witness that Earp had been fixed as reteree, and that !\u201cEarp was all right.\u201d Witness described the uproar over preliminaries to the fight, and said when Fitzsimmons objected to the bandage on Sharkey\u2019s hand.Earp went over to Sharkey\u2019s corner and said: \u201cTake off these clothes, it will be all right anyway,\u201d witness said when Shark.¢y received the knock-out blow on the jaw in the eighth round, Lynch said to Sharkey: \u201cLie low, hold your hands on your groin and pretend to faint with pain.\u201d Sharkey was then carried to a room.Witness said Allen, another trainer, \u2018removed Sharkey\u2019s bandages and did the work which caused the swelling.\u201d George Allen, another of Sharkey\u2019s trainers, corroborated the story of the previous witness, adding that several physicians were refused admittance when Sharkey was undergoing the operation with which Allen produced the evidence of a foul.Lynch said no doctor should come into the room and interfere with his plans.Witness said Sharkey told him the National Athletic Club was composed of Croom, Gibbs, Lynch and Shark- ey, and that Sharkey was to receive twenty per cent.of the proceeds of the fight after the purse was deducted.Sharkey said that his three partners in the National Club were broke, and Shark- cy had to advance $2,500 for¥preliminary\u2019 expenses, and this had left the sailor pugilist stranded financially.Witness sald a few days before the fight Sharkey told him he thought Earp would be the richt kind of a referee for him, and added it would be worth $2,500 to Earp if he proved to be the proper kind of a re- ferce.LACROSSE.A LOVELY DECISION.It may be possible that some lacrosse team or other has a claim to the inter- nediate championship of Canada, but this is doubtful.Any old club that may be lying around loose should put in a claim for the Intermediate League decided lust bight that the claims of thie Nationals and of the Young Capitals were so delicately bulanced that the championship was a raw! \u201cQuem Deus vult\u2014-\"\" _ It seems a pity that so good a game as lacrosse should go to the deuce.Trere was a meeting of the Intermedl- ate League last night.Those present were: B.Mansfield, Young Shamrocks; H.Beaudin, Q.C., Nationals; W.H.Davidson, Quebec; James Davidson, Young Capitals; W.Northey, Montreal.W.Scullion was also presept, with a proxy from Quebec, and it tok the meeting a few hours to decide who was Quebec's representative.When this had been decided, the meeting found that each club wus entitled to half the champlonship! The money is to be divided.Trat is what the resolution meant, and that is the reason that one i8 tempted to remember that whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad.HOCKEY.ANXIOUS FOR

Society Opens Its Season Very Auspiciously.ae A CREDIT TO MONTREAL Ffrangcon-Davies to Sing \u2018This Evening.Next Week's Attractions at the Various City Theatres\u2014The Albani Company's Matinee.The Windsor Hall was well filled last evening for the first concert of the Handel and Haydn societies, season of 1896-97, in spite of the vast audience which Albani drew on Monday night, and the consequent drain on the finances of the musical publie these Christmas times.It was only right that the audience should be large, for the occasion was one of legitimate pride at the evidences of the rapid development of thee hoir and amateur orchestra, both of which associations owe their origin and progress to the baton of Mr.Horace W.Reyner and the loyal assistance they have received from many among whom may be mentioned Captain Benyon, the Hon.President, Mr.G.A.Findlay, the secretary and Mr.J.W, Laver, the treasurer, to speak of a I ew only.To say that both choir and orchestra have made strides in their improvement over last season, is but to say what is uite true.\u2018Their progress is astonishing.As for the choir, it is better balanced, though the male parts are still weak, and it is smaller, the best element evidently remaining, unhampered by dummies, or weaklings, for they all sing and sing well.They have also gained in brillianey and purity of tone, in color and in shading.Also in variety and appropriateness in their way of rendering music o! varying requirements, .As for the orchestra, it has gained in confidence, owing to the professionel clement having been eliminated at this sea son\u2019s rehearsals and only being introluced at the concert where it was absolutely necessary to supply wants or weakness with amateur ranks.In this wav ihcv have attained more self-reliance, and all the other elements of progress, to winch it is the stepping stone.Judging them as an amateur organization, must be judged in all common sense and fairness their work must be characterized as admirable, and it was both lengthy and arduous.The strings are the best part but the wood wind did remarkably well.The oboe in spite of a harsh and strident tone was very well played and effective.In the brass the horn was particularly good a8 also the cornets.It was especially gratifying \u2018to see these difficult instruments played by amateurs,ifor though of the nt- most importance in the orchestra, they glo not offer attractions for solo work.The harp as played by Mrs.Parratt was another feature.1t not only added much to the agpearance of the orchestra, but was beautifully played, most effective and an: other tribute to the local ranks.The societies were heard in three works last evening of very varied character.In Mendelssohns \u201cIlear My Prayer,\u201d they had to perform a lyrical work of the ten derest and loftiest sentiment.in Dr.Parry\u2019s \u201cBlest Pair of Sirens,\u201d they had a heavy classic work, cast in a majestic mould such as alone could appropriately set Milton\u2019s magnificent ode, and in Dr, Earnby\u2019s setting of the 96th Psalm, \u201cThe Lord is King.\u201d they had a descriptive work which while devotional in charac ter was distinetly dramatic in form, and required phrasing and coloring.In all these they succeeded in giving the touch which the words called for, and thereby lent considerable variety and interest to their work.The sustained tone and fine body of sound given by the choir was really very fine, and although, of course, greater perfection is yet ahead of them their merit cannot be denied.The first chorus in Barnby\u2019s work, was given with a dash and vigor that was inspiriting, and although the first part of \u201cHear My Prayer\u201d was somewhat tame, the last chorus was finely sung and the shading towards the end admirable.The orchestral interlude in the Psalm also deserved great praise, it is very difficult for amateurs and was well rendered.The number from the Gynsy suite was very ragged and was a {rifle ambitious.The works were separated by separate solo numbers which relieved them.The soloists were all warmly received.Miss Mary Louise (lary has a glorious contralto voice, solid, heavy, rich and of great range, she sings with much sympathy and was altogether pleasing.In \u201cNobil Signor\u201d she was hardly dramatic enough in her stvle, but in the devotional Hosanna of Gramer, she was espccially good.Mr.Miles, the bass, has a beautiful voice solid and of pleasant quality, and his singing is artistic in the extreme.His rendering qf Ischaikorosky\u2019s \u201cItalian Scra- nade,\u201d was superb, but he was handicapped by the very feeble accompaniment of Miss Whitham.It is somewhat hard to say why that young lady was selected to accompany the solos when Mr.Ilesley and others were available.The sonrano, Miss Hilke did her part fairly well.Mr.Reyner, all through conducted with the greatest care, marking the time with clearness and precision and giving the cues, s0 as to best reassure, and assist his forces.The concert was on the whole a success, and a very creditable feature in the musical season.The \u201cSilver King\u201d will be played by the getock company at the Theatre Francais next week.This drama has always been a favorite here, and when played hy Wil son Barrett crowded the house at every performance.It will be a potent attraction at the Francais and will receive an excellent scenic mounting.The leading feature of the vaudeville bill will be Ray- mon Moore, the sweet ballad singer and the author of the popular song \u201cSweet Marie.\u201d Mr.Moore was billed to appear at another theatre here last season, but was unable to sing on account of a bad cold.He is now in excellent voice, however, and will he seen to the best of ad vantage.Another feature which ought to be taking as a specialty is the Phantas- cope, one of the latest inventions of the Wizard, Edison, by which animated photography is projected upon a screen.Seven interesting views will be exhibited at every performance.The programm® for the Ffrangcon- Davies vocal recital this evening in the Windsor Hall, is a most attractive one.It includes selections from Handel, H.Brockway, Schumann, Brahms, Toewe, Mendelssohn, Lawrence, White.Rogers, Victor Harris, Chaminade, and Pinsuti.The musical publie, in attending in large numbers, will not oniy Le receiving a treat, but will rally to the | support of Mrs.Page-Thrower, who has done so much for music in Montreal.This evening, a number of prominent amateurs, under the direction of Mr.J.J.Rowan, will give a concert in Drum- mond Hall.À very attractive programme has been; prepared.To avoid any crush at the doors of the Windsor Hall at the Albani Company\u2019s concert Saturday afternoon, seats should be secured in advance.There has been a large demand for tickets, and the programme promises a delightful afternoon of music.Madame Albani\u2019s supporting artists compose one of the strongest con- cent companies that has visited Montreat for some time.Sterting on Monday next, the company of the Queen\u2019s Theatre will nroduce, for one week, the celebrated dramatization of Dickens, \u201cOliver Twist.\u201d Bazween the acts some very strong vaudeville features will be offered.The lcading one will be the greatest troup of \u201cJaps\u201d ever brought to America.The organization is Lnown as Prince O\u2019Kabe\u2019s Royal Japanese Troupe ana is composed of five women and five men.They perform all sorts of marvei ous tricks and startling acts, both in the air and on the stage.This act is said to be a most marvellous one.Another feature of the vaudeville pact of the ypro- gramme will be Miss Lizzie Raymond, the reigning belle of Broadway, who, in her famous songs, dances, etc, has created a sensation in Europe and America.Dan Leno, considered one of the greatest of character singers, will also appear at every performance.Matinees will be given every av.WESTMOUNT WHISPERS, An Interesting Budget of News Gathered From Old Cote St.Antoine.A unique way of getting property has been discovered in Westmount.In rude commerce, it might be termed stealing, but not in Westmount.It happened perhaps by mistake that a large property- owner on Mathilde Street has taken up public property for a distance of 750 feet at the rear of his houses, thus closing up that portion of Belmont Avenue, ona of the oldest roads in the town.When Mathilde Street was widened ten feet in front, the property in question was given up, and to even up matters, the owner has built fences at the rear, which extend across Belmont Avenue.According to the municipal code, any road that has been open for ten years cannot be closed.This afiair has been brought before Mayor Evans, who, of course, has taken prompt action to have it remedied.Real estate owners in Westmount cannot complain of want of money, when over 60 per cent.of the owners have taken advantage of the discount of 5 per cent.offered on taxes paid at once.From now until January a discount is offered of 24 per cent., and large numbers have already taken advantage of it.McGill Observatory, located on the mountain top is, as far as taxation goes, in Westmount.The corporation of MeGill, however, made application to the Council with reference to exemption.The town solicitors have reported that by law the Observatory is exempt from taxes, the whole top of the mountain belonging to McGill, Mr.A.L.Bindley, wife and family, formerly of Birmingham, Eng., have taken up their residence at 43¢ Elm Avenue, Westmount.It is likely that all the former temperance councillors will again serve the people.The constituents of Ward No.1, represented by Mr.James R.Walker, whose year it is for election, have prepared - a magnificently signed requisition urging him to act again this year.It is whispered amongst Mayor Evans\u2019 friends that he will not come out for reelection in No.2 Ward, and it is the general opinion that his retirement would be a serious loss to the\u2018 good management of the town\u2019s affairs.In No.4 Ward no opposition to Mr.Bulmer has yet been mentioned; indeed it is expected that Mr.Bulmer will be elected by acclamation.Prof.Nicholson, of the Academy, has decided not to have any formal closing of the school this year, thus giving the scholars a good rest instead of burdening them with entertainment duties.Examinations will be held before the holidays.Westmount Football Club will hold its annual meeting next week, and the boys intend organizing a hockey club.OUTSIDE MARKETS, © NEW YORK.New York, Dee.10.\u2014Flour\u2014Receipts, 20,000 ; exports, 16,000 ; sales 8,090 ; irregular.Wheat\u2014Receipts 92,000 ; exports, 105,- 000 ; sales 2,435,000
