They had a shop for a little, but It was a con- heart to take the children\u2019s pennies for the goodies.\u2018They took to teaching.George\u2019s two children go.They make about £5 per quarter, and live on it.Gerald, no one knows how !\u2019 \u201cThey probably live on bread-and-but- ter and tea,\u2019 I said brüsquely, for Stephen\u2019s girl-eyes were actually half full of tears.\u2018Women like these can live on bread-and-burter and tea.Meat is a mistake, Stephen, we cat far too much of it.And they have very small frames to keep up.I never saw euch tiny women.I see them in church.\u2019 Stephen was lying baek playing with the silk fringe of his cover.\u2018The sort of people impossible to help,\u2019 he murmured.\u2018I noticed that one old lady\u2014the youngest Miss Primrose\u2014pass- ed the plate on Sunday.I never saw anything like the distress of her face.She looked ready to sink into the ground.Miss Pink, the elder, (haven't they funny names ?) put in a half-penny, and that Bice ieee the one who lives to the, iar ROJ- iothing too.T thought pretty bad.Mise they must bé Pink' askled me, ib her low, little voice, if I thought you would go.She said they had always been accustomed to pay getting their London doctor, \u201calmost \u2018mme- diately,\u201d but ther must beg your indulgence till next quarter-day.She thought it right, she said, to tell you that before you went.\u2019 I was drawing on my gloves.What a ridioulous little fool! What a stupid ass I was! I had really caught a slight cold, I believed, in my throat.\u2018Ill just run round,\u2019 I said.\u2018It's probably nothing.Anyone could impose on you, Stephen.You are sillier than any girl\u2019 Stephen laughed in his queer way.\u2018Tt is No.10 Shirleton road,\u2019 was.ell he said\u2014* the funny little house with the creepers over the porch.\u2018Give a good, loud rap, Gerald, so that they wid know that it is you! \u2014- \u2018You had better tell me bow to disg: nose the case,\u201d I growled, and went out into the rain.: : I gave a good loud knock, and could hear a sott of stir and flutter in the par lor.A.girl ushered me in emilinzly\u2014 pretty Nancy Lisle, the old lady's niece.The vicat\u2019s son, at, that time fighting in Egypt, had got engaged to her in a ridiculous, utterly ineane manner, neither having a copper coin; and Nancy, I believed, -hetped her aunts in the deme: school.Her aunts werd in, she said, and then I could see her go down the drenched Thay said old: Digby, the richest.bachelor in the place, had asked her to marry him three times, and the girl was obdurate.What fools girls are ! \u2018Dr.Fortescue, I presume?And Miss Manley made be a funny little bow.\u2018This is my sister, Primrose.It is a dreadful day for you to be cut, dootor.Prey, be seated.My fire has sunk a little.1 hope you do mot find the room .chiilly ?The room was chilly distinetly.For one thing, the window did not fit well into \u2018ite frame, and the horrid wet ivy and creepers were always lashing raindrops against it.The wallpaper wus stained with damp, and the fire was of the very smallest.What did the silly creatures mean by sitting -in a room like this\u2018jon a day like this, with that absurd fire-?The idiocy of men!

He can\u2019t fill the purse which is to pay for what he orders.In ten cases out of a dozen he can\u2019t give the only prescription which would be of any use ! What I should have written would be: Move out of this damp little hole into dry, airy rooms.Stop teaching tire some brats in a draughty schoolrcom; eat nourishing food; don\u2019t worry; spend money.be lighthearted 1° Be light-hearted ! I called in on Steele on my way, ¢nd a few days after I told Miss Pink that burning pine-logs was the best thing for her, and that I had a load Stephen would not use, as he did not like the smell.They said there never Was such window.Up over the bureau, which was the mest pretentious piece of furniture in the room, hung a German motto, which said to the little family, day after day, that many things were good, but to serve God was best of all.Mrs.Strohman\u2019s own round, cheerful face spoke volumes of contentment and motherly; love.But to-day even Moth r Strohman was having a hard time.The thermometer pointed to one hundred in the shade, and it was a trying point to find even this degree of comfort or dis comfort.The fierce rays of the sun had turned the long street into a path of furnace heat.The tiny stone court behind the house was.little better, and the house itself was like an oven.The children were fratting, and Mrs.Stroh- man looked out of the window in despair.They had not slept the night before, and Katie lind not touched her breakfast, \u2018If we Were only in the ccuntry we could sit under a big tree and pull ihe daisies, and sing, \u2018TL love you, I Jove you not,\u201d or curl dandelion stems or do lots of thiræzs to be cool,\u2019 spoke Katie, with a voice very near to tears.- \u2018I wish you were in \u2018the country,\u2019 returned her mother.\u2018Perhape- you may go yet.But now, if you and- Anton and kindness, for they loved it.They grew very confidential with me.and I drank tea with them on several afternoons.1 made up their medicine, and I mannged to administer a fine mixture of beef-essence and port wine, which they said was \u2018the nicest, drug they hail ever tagted !\u201d I said it was a new medicine not much known, One day Miss Primrese asked me diffidently if they might stop it.I was not to be offended, but they had so very little income! \u2018We have a nest-egg.\u2019 she whispered; \u2018we would not dare to let you come, dear doctor, but for it; but it is gradually decreasing.And, you see, wo don\u2019t know how long we may live !\u2019 (The Mankys were really long-lived.) Miss Primrose looked as if the fact were extremely reprehensible, and shook her head over it regretfully.They did not know how long vhey might live ! : I did cot dare to repent that little speech to Stephen, he was so soft-heart- ed \u2018TI intend you to live !\u2019 I said, crossly.\u2018 And I refuse to be pestered like this, Miss Manley, and dictated to about my medicine.I shall call, tco, as often as I please.This is a half-way house, for one thing, and I like to come and warm my fingers.If I choose to ask you a few questions, you don\u2019t call that a medical visit, do you ?I don\u2019t.And don\u2019t talk to me about nest-eggs !

says:\u2014'It | was with amazement, that, upon becoming actually acquninted with the various Protestant churches (whom Rome had always taught me to regard as hating and cursing one another), I discovered them to be li in simple and cordial brotherhood, and cheerfully assisting each other in religious work.I find that there is less hostility between even the most widely separated forms of French Protestantism than there is between different religious orders\u2014say, between \u2018Jesuits and Dominicans\u2014or between the parochial clergy and the monks.The Abbé Bourier, when in England, was interviewed.by a representative of ope of the leading secular papers.He said, inter alia, urge the Romich priests to leave their Church and become Protestants.In France, to be a Protestant is to be foreign, and that is not popular.We want to permeate the national church itself with a spirit of reform.I have great hope.Why, there are thirty-six millions of people in France, and only six millions are for the Pope.We want to get rid of the Pope\u2019s authority.We want to shake off the old superstitions of the French Church, the idea of the apostolic succession, and the power of the Pope.And we want to use the present organization as the basis of a national reformed church, which shall be accepted by, and invited to, the state.The chief obstacles in the way are Jesuitry and the aristocracy.The aristocracy send their children to Jesuit colleges.And they take all the officers of state, the army, the law, and diplomacy from those pupils of the Jesuits.Our idea is to get a democratic church\u2014one ruled more in the manner of the American Episcopal Church.\u2019 : The Salvation Army Exhibition at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, has proved a most successful experiment.On bank holidays there was an extraordinary crowd of visitors, numbering over 20,000, \u2018while during the whole period that the have amounted to over 100,000.The religious meetings have been fully as well attended as the exhibition itself, amd have evidently excited keen interest, while some hundreds of recruits have been gained to the Army.The stalls for the sale of bibles and hymn-books have dome a particularly good business.The closing meeting, on Aug.8 when the exhibition forces were reviewed by General Booth, was densely crowded.The appearance of the General was the signal for a storm of cheering.He was accompanied by Commissioner and Mrs.Bramwell Booth, whose three little girls were also on the platform.The march- past was a most imposing spectacle, comprising every feature of Salvation Army enterprize, including sheep and pigs from the farm colony.The General, in a short address, thanked all who had helped in the movement, apd expressed the hope that he might see them all in the great Exhibition of the Love of God in the Celestial City.In Vienna, with a population of a milion and a half, there are said to be about 120,000 Jews.Some 2,000 out of 4,000 physicians, and the majority of the professors in the medical schools, are Jews, and considerably more than half the thousand lawyers in the city.The writers for the chief daily papers are largely of the same race, and Jews also do most of the trading, both wholesale and retail.Under these circumstances | the outcry has arisen in Vienna, as in \"Paris and elsewhere, of \u2018Down with

amd popularity of this party are now on the wane.It is, however, very noticeable that in Vienna, as elsewhere on the Continent, the clerical party is sedulously courting alliance with the socialists, and in exchange for their support making certain concessions to collectivism.This is the explanation of the recent victory of the clericals in Belgium, and, again, last week at the elections in Bavaria.Those who guide the policy of the Roman Catholic Church to-day are showing a decided tendency in favor of democracy.A day or two ago, says a New York correspondent of the London

heartily behind the effort of one of 1t8 missionaries, the Rev.Francis M.Price, for many years its representative in the Caroline Islands, to arouse American Christians to their opportuni ties for missionary advance.He is now speaking in the churches and trying to secure from them individual pledges guaranteeing the support of the work for five years.His plan is to start work in the island of Guam, the southernmost of the Ladrone group, 600 miles north of Ruk in the Caroline Islands, where in forty-seven years our missionaries have wrought wonderful changes.Guam has a delightful climate and a population of, perhaps, 7,000, of a mixed blood, all no:n- inally Roman Catholics.Is is now à station of the United States navy.an ships touch there at regular intervals, He believes that with

would also enter the island of Yap, of the Caroline group, 900 miles west of Ruk and 1,000 miles from Manilla, He also hopes that Ponape, to the east of Ruk, which was abandoned nine years ago because of the persecution which the Christians suffered, may be reoccupied, and, indeed, money with that end in view is already in hand.Intimations have already come that the inhabitants of these un-

his \u2018Sunshine in my soul,\u2019 the first time I heard it.The California delegation to the Christian Endeavor International Convention at Montreal came marching into th» large drill-hall singing the sweet, cheering melody, and the song and the singing made a decided hit.This work of Prof.Swe ney was the first of a long line of \u2018sun- | shine songs,\u2019 by many authors, that have

from Miss Hewitt to Prof.Sweney in the same mail.I Ono of the unique pictures hung on the walls of my memory is a Sunday afternoon scene in the Eimria, N.Y., Reformatory, where Prof.Sweney led the convicts for an hour in a service cf gospel song.The large chap: was completely tilled, and as the hundreds of men entered heartily into the spirit of the service, the cffeot can readily be imagined.The Hon.John Wanamaker paid a tozching tribute to the worth of Prof.Sweney\u2019s work at his funeral, and said, \u201cThis blessed man has only climbed up the mountain, and, like Moses, entered the Land of Promise.God sent down His angels from the upper sky with a message for this swest singer to come to the Land of Song.\u2019 The singer\u2019s voice is still, and \u2018the pen of a

with a power irresistible.Billy\u2019s life was a most remarkable one.- He was born near Truro, in Cornwall, in the days when the great wave of gospel preaching was passing over the country.For the first seventeen years of his life he lived in the little village of Kea, under all the good influences of a religious home.Then be went into Devonshire, and there he be- ADVERTISEMENTS.NOVA SCOTIA MAN

little rubbing, is not an ache of the muscles of the back, however.Nor has it anything to do with the bone.It is an ache of the kidneys further in, and one to three boxes of Dodd\u2019s Kidney Pills

gone far before the horse stumbled against a stone, and, turning right over, both riders were almost killed.Many were the ludicrous and harmful escapades which Billy Bray indulged in at this time.But a change was near, at hand, and, like the famous John Bunyan, whom he much resembled, he was to become a powerful preacher for He happened to read a little book, in which the joys of heawen and the

Manners\u2014Influence MRS.J.N.SMITH\u2019S FAMILY TREE.Mrs.Smith had been a Newton and had always wished that sho could have retained her name after marriage and done away altogether with the very common cognomen | of her husband, but in the busy years which came while she was housekeeper @nd mother \u2018of four sturdy children, it seemed to make little difference what her ame: was.- In fact, she had all she could &o.tô answeï £9 the namo of \u2018mother.\u2019 ;But Mr, Smith's business as a groc:r prospered, and \u2018after three children were married, leaving only Beatrice, a maiden of 15, at home, Mrs.Smith found time to attend to social duties and cultivate the ambitions of her youth.\u201cÀ new house, with \u2018grounds,\u2019 was her first aspiration, and as her husband shared this desire, they found themselves estab- Hshed in due time on a trolley line just far enough outside of the city to be what tho grocer called \u2018unmixed.\u2019 \u201cIt was whlle she was furnishing and beautifying at her lelsure that Mrs.Smith réccived a letter from Boston asking for facts concerning herself and her father\u2019s family.A c:rtain Miss Agnes Newton was the writer.and she informed Mrs.Smith tnt she was compiling a \u2018Newton book,\u2019 if which the family\u2014root, trunk and branches\u2014wrs to be classified and arrang- of.Sha had just \u2018discovered\u2019 Mrs.Smith, .add hence informed her at considerable length of the importance of her work and the extent of the family circle.The names of prominent people that Miss Agnes Newton specified as in the family connection opened before Mrs.Smith a new world of relationship: \u201cWhy, John; it is perfectly amazing!\u2019 she began at the tea table.\u2018fT am second comsin to the member of Congress

RICHARD CARVEL.There are but few novels on record that have exerted a definite and noteworthy political influence.First in rank stands \u2018 Uncle Tom\u2019s Cabin,\u2019 whose mark is clearly eesm on the page of history.The werk of that book was to sow broadcast among the American neo- ple the sentiments and convictions al ready held by a thoughtful minority.Another attempt to leaven that nation with the ideas of its best informed leal- ers is made in \u2018Richard Carvel,\u2019 an his torical novel by Winston Churchill.(Copp, Clark Co.).The fact that the really great Englishmen of George IIl.\u2019s time were opposed to the oppression of the colonies will be news to many persons in the United States, schooled from infancy to think of England as a united tyranny.It is the affinity between the two countries that Mr.Churchill seeks to show, while not unduly emphasizing The story is one of adventure, the climax being a naval battle in which Paul Jones is the hero.But Richard Carvel, whose career is traced from boyhood, finds adventure everywhere.His first duel is fought for his nolitical _opiniom~ and some older friends go to his grandfather with the correct story of it, next morning, in haste to arrive before the parson, a treacherous villain, should bring a wrong account.They meet him at the house, and the scene that followed is rehearsed with glee by the graud- father to the disabled boy.\u2018 \"Twas all Mr.Washington could do to restrain Clapsaddle from booting his Reverence over the balustrade and down two runs of the stairs.\u201c*\u201cDiomedes,\u2019 says I, waking up, \u2018what's this racket on the landing?Is Mr.Richard home?For I had some notion it was you, sir, after en over-night brawl.And I\u201cprofese I would have caned you soundly.The fellow answered that Captain Clap- £4%416's \u2018honor was killing Mr.Allen; and wékt dut: and came back preseatly to say thkit some tall gentleman had the captain by the \u201cneck, and that Mr.Allen was pick- frig his way down the ice on the steps outside.\u2019 After being captured by pirates and \"delivered from them by simple.Captain John Paul, afterwards known as Paul Jones, the young man finds himself in England, and first getting some experience of the debtors\u2019 prison, finds friends in high society.He thus describes his first encounter with the most famous young man of the day : It was in truth none other than that pre- coolous marvel of England who but a year before had taken the breath from the House of Commons, and had sent his name flying over the Channel and across the wide Atlantic; the talk of Loudon, who set the fashions, cringed not bafore white hairs, or royalty, or custcms, or institutions,and was now, at one and twenty, junior Lord of the Admiralty\u2014Charles James Fox.His face was dark, forbldding\u2014even harsh\u2014 until he smiled, His eyebrows were heavy and shaggy, and his features of a rounded, almost Jewish mould.He put me in mind of the Stuarts, and I was soon to learn that he waa descended from them.As he entered the room, I recall remarking that he was possessed of ths supremest confidence of any man I had ever met.Mrs.Manners he greeted in one way; Mr.Mar- maduke in another, and Mr.Walpole in still anocher.To Conyn, Ît was \u2018Hello, Jeck,\u2019 as he walked by him.Each, as it were, had been tagged with a particular value.Chagrined as I was at the interruption, I was struck with admiration.For the smallest actions of these men of master passions so compel us.He came to Dorothy.whom he seemed not to have percelv- ed at first, and there passed between them\u2019 such a look of complote understanding that I suddenly remembered Conyn'\u2018s speech of the night before, \u2018Now it is Charles Fox.\u201d Here, indeed, was the man who might have won her.And yet I did not hate him.Nay, I loved him from the first time he addressed me.It was Dorothy who introduced us.\u2018I think I have heard of you, Mr, Car- vel,\u201d he said, making a barely perceptible wink at Conyn.\u2018And I think I have heard of you, Mr.Fox,\u2019 1 replied.And Conyn laughed, and Dorothy laughed, and I laughed.We were friends from that moment.\u2018Richard has appeared amongst us like a ccmet,\u201d put in the ubiquitous Mr.Manners, \u2018and I fear intends to disappear in like manner.\u2019 \u2018And where is the tail of this comet?\u2019 de- randed Fox, instantly, \u2018for I understand there was a tall.\u2019 John Paul was brought up, and the Jun- for Lord of the Admiralty looked him over from head to toe, and what do you think he said to him?\u2018Have you ever acted, Captain Paul?\u2019 The captain started back in surprise.i 19 .ADVERTISEMENTS.WRITE FOR SAMPLES and PRICE LIST3 (Bent Post Free), and SAVE FIFTY | PERCENT.ROBINSON & CLEAVER, BELFAST, IRELAND, And 164, 166 and 1706, GENT STREET, LONDON, W., IRISH LINEN & DAMASK MANUFACTURERS, & AND FURNISHERS TO NY >H.M.THE QUEEN, EMPRESS FREDERICK, Members of the Ro oyal Family, and the Courts of Europe, Supply Palaces, Mansions, Villas, Cottages, H ways, Stcamships, Institutions, Regiments, an the General Public, direct with every description HOUSEHOLD == Of From the Least Expensive to the FINEST IN THE WORLD.\u2018Which being woven by Hand, wear longer and retain the Rich Satin appearance to the last.By obtaining direet, au Intermedioie profits are saved.and the cost is no more than that usually charged for common -power corn goods, Real Irish Linen Sheet! fully bleached, two fords wide, 466 : per perd;

This is a tale of shameful persecution of the Metropolitan police by a lawless gander and his abetting wives, In the New Road, Mile End, there was 8 dairy where poultry was kept.Most eminent among this poultry, and chiefly notorious in the aeighborhood, were a gander and four geese.The gander was a large and athletic bird, great in enterprise and immensely venerated by his consorts.It was the way of the was decorated by the same fringe of geese, who declined to leave till yesterday\u2019s dose had been repeated.Then they tried every grating in the street in succession, and before long had succeeded in levying a sort of area-tax om the suffering retepayers of Mile End, returning home after every collection heavily laden, waddling, but preposter- cusly dignified as ever, a source of joy to every onlooker capable of laughter.But one day a policeman passed on his beat\u2014a policeman whose notions of official dignity did not prevent him munching a biscuit as he went.There were a few loose crumbs and pieces in his hand, and in an evil moment he caught aight of the birds.Little sus- troop to form a solemn procession which perambulated the New Road in ponder- pecting what would be the terrible consequences to the Force, that unlucky ous state, seeking what or whom it policeman bestowed the broken pieces might devour, and during these expeditions the outdoor life of Mile End never lacked for humorots incident.For some time the family \u2018enterprise was chiefly directed toward the maltster\u2019s opposite the dairy, and the constant procession of the dignified gander, followed in sinon the gander and his consorts, and went placidly on his beat, unconscious of il.Mr.Ward, of 67, New Road, had observed this from his window, and saw also the horrible sequel.For on the following day that policeman passed again (but this time with no biscuits), and THE BEGINNING OF IT.the geese knew him, and rushed at him with outstretched necks, flapping wings, gle file by his harem, strictly in order of precedence, toward the grain-sacks, and the equally constant retreat of the lot, zs fast as they could go, with quacks of injured dignity and no order at all, when repelled by the maltster\u2019s men, brighteried the faces\u201d of the passers-by and filled the bumorous souls of the Mile End boys with gladness.For the gander was.apt to be aggressive, his wives: followed bis, example, and the 2 Me n disapproved.' Périiistently repelled from the grain- sacks, the gander and his ladies began a statély parade of the streets.There are drea gratings flush with the pavement in the New Road, and one day it\u2019 occûtred to somebody in an area to thrisdt a orust between the bars.The gander absorbed the crust, but the sig nificance of the hint was absorbed in equal quantities by the entire cortag, THE FATAL STEP.and - the next morning the same area ! So he turned to drive and wild screeches.And mot at this policeman alone, but at every other po- licemam who ventured to perform his duty in the New Road, Mile End.Words cannot express the terrific sceme when a more than usually ponderously important sergeant was mobbed by this subversive gang.They came at him with yells and flaps, afid waited expectantly about him.The sergeant took no notice, but walked on, even more vastly magnificent than before.And behind him, in single file, came the geewe, solemn and dignified, too, in their own way.This wouldn't do.An important ser- -geant of police, stalking firét in a proces sion the other members of which were a large gander and his four wives in order of seniority, was an object inconsistent with the dignity of the Force.the creatures THE MONTREAL away; whereat they gave a simultaneous quack and grew more eager.That wouldn't do, either.The sergeant turned to walk om, and instantly the geese lined up behind him again, and the pa- godt recommenced.It was very awk\u2019: ward; at this delay in producing the desired edly at the house-chimneys, folded his.hands as though about to begin a long period of meditation, did everything hel could think of to suggest to the minds of his persecutors that they had drawn him blank, and had best go away.\u2018 Net tbe more\u2019 importunate they grew, rams RESCUED PAIE The sergeant stopped, and the: geese made an expectant, long-necked | circle about him, quacking indignantly | | BESET.biscuits.The sergeant looked a] they, however.The longer they ge!

without doubt perish entirely, and that soon, Stich fragments of it as still survive \u2018in the mier- abips, those beautiful visions that gre slowly disappearing ome by one from off the face of the deep.Take, for instznce, of \u2018saluting the deck\u2019 The poop or raised after-deck of a ship, over whieh floated the national flag, was considered to be always pervaded by thiz presence of the sovereign, and, as the worilripper of whatever rank removes his hat upon entering e church, \"so from the admiral to the powder-monkéy every member of the ship's company, as he set foot upon the poop, \u2018saluted the deck\u2019\u2014the invisible presence.As the division between men-of-war and merchantmen widened, so the practice weakened in the latter, forced practice of covery person below onto the poop by the lee side.And observed according to rank, for with the captain on deck the chief mate takes the lee side.But since in steamers there is often no lee side, the custom in them has completely died out.To etiquette \u2018ai- so belongs the strict observance of the rule in all vessels of tacking \u2018Sir\u2019 onto every reply to an officer, or the accepted synonym for his position to a petty officer, as \u2018Boss\u2019 for boatewain, \u2018Chips\u2019 for carpenter, \u2018Sails\u2019 for sailmdker, and \u2018Doc: tor for cook.A woful breach of etiquette is committed by the captain who, coming on deck while one of his males chant service are confined to mailing.the beautiful custom, so full of meaning, and only now survives in the rigidly en- | the rank of captain or mate coming Up wmong the officers the préctice is also\u2019 is carrying out some manoeuvre, takes upon himself to give orders direct to the men.It is seldom resented by junior officers for obvious reasons, but the chief mate would probably retire to another part of the vessel at once, with the remark that it wes \u2018only ome man\u2019s work.\u201c In many cises etiquette and discipline are eo closely interwoven that it is hard to know whisre one leaves off and the other begins, but in ali such cases ob- pervance is strictly enforced as being one of the few remaining means whereby even à simulacrum of discipline is maintained in undermanned and oversparred sailing ships\u2014such as the repetition of every order given by the hearer,- the careful avoidance of any interference by one man with another's work in the presence of an cflicer, and the preservation of each officer's rightful attitude toward \u2018those under his cherge and his superiors.Thus, during the secular work of the \u2018day, work that is apart from handling the ship, the mate gives his orders to the boatswain, who sees them carried out.Serious friction always arises when during any operation the mate comes between the boatswain and his gang, uniess, ag somatimes liappens, the boat- \u2018gwain bé hopelessly incompetent.\" THE CREW\u2019S QUARTERS.\u2018In the private life of the ship every officers\u2019 berth is his house, sacred, inviolable, wherein none msy enter with.\u2018out his invitation.And in a case of serious dereliotion of duty or disqualification it becomes \u2018his prison.\u2018Go to your room, sit,\u2019 i6 à sentence gmerally equivalent to professions] ruin, since a young \u2018officer's future lies in the hollow of his commander's hand.The saloon is free \u2018to officers only at meal times, not a common parlor wherein they may meet for chat and recreation, except in port with the captain eshore.And as it is \u2018afl,\u2019 80 in ite degree is {t

SEPTEMBER 9, 1899, pattes pomme at to be lightly offended.But in most cases all the petty officers berth together in an apartment called by courtesy the \u2018half-deck,\u2019 although it seldom resemlies in a remote degree the dingy, foetid hole tht originally bore that name.Very dignified are the petty officers, gravy ccescious of their dignity, and eternly set upon the dwe maintemance of their rightful states as the backbone of the ship\u2019s company.Such a grave breach of etiquette as an \u2018A.B.\u2019 entering their quarters, with or without invitation, is seldom heard of, and quite as infrequent are the occasions when an officer does so.In largs ships, where six or seven apprentices are carried, an apartment in a houss on deck is set apart for their sole occupation, and the gencral characteristic of such an abode is chaos\u2014un- less indeed, there should be a senior ap- prenitice of sufficient stability to preserve ord'er, which there seldom is.These \u2018boys\u2019 houses\u2019 are bad places for a youngster fresh from school, unless a consci- eutious captain or chief mate should happen to be \u2018at the head of affairs and make it his business to give an eye to the youngsters\u2019 proceedings when off duty.Of course etiquette may be laoked for in vain here unless it be the etiquette of \u2018fegging\u2019 in its worst sense.The men's quarters, always called the forecastle, even when a more human: shipowner thin usual has relegated the forecastle proper to its rightful use as lockers for non-perishable stores, amd lodged his men in a house on deck, are always divided longitudinally in half.The port or mate\u2019s watch lives on the port side, the starboard or second mate's watch on the starboard side.To this rule there is no exception.And here we have etiquette in excelsis.Although the barrier between the two sides is usually of the flimsiest, znd often quite imaginary, in efiect it is a wall of separa tion with gates guarded and tarred.The visitor from one side to the other, whatever his excuse, approaches humbly, feeling ill at ease until made welcome.And from dock to dock it is an unheard-of thing for any officer save the captain to so much as look into the forecastle.Of course, exceptional circumstances do arise, such as a general outbreak of re- calcitrancy, but the occasion must be abnormal for such a breach of etiquette to be made.Some captains very wisely make it their duty to go the round of the ship each morning, seeing that every- the forecastle as a part of their examination.But this is quite the exception to the general rule, and is alwuys felt to be more or less of an infringement of im- Hromorial right.In what must be called e SOCIAL LIFE OF THE FORBECASTLE, its owner for the

Edinburgh.Elisabeth Buchan or Yule, 5§ Rosebank Place, Aberdeen; James Rosie, 5 Burnett's Close, Aberdeen; Isabella Lindsay, Nazareth House, Aberdeen; Catherine Brown or Gordon, 6 Martin\u2019s lane, Aberdeen ; aml Ann Matthew or Low, 74 Canal road; Aberdeen.It is averred that Coutts or: \"dered the coffins containing these bodies to be removed from the lairs in which \u2018they were buried, the coffins to be broken and destroyed, and the bodies to be | thrown into other lairs or into holes in the cemetery walks.The seventh charge accuses Coutts of having committed perjury by ewearing falsely regarding an entry in ome of the cemetery ledgers when he was giving evidence in a civil case arising out of interference with a grave.\u2018The trial was to commence before the High Court at Aberdeen, on Wednesday, Sept.8.~The.death is announced of the Rev.James Bonnar, D.D., who for fifty-eight years had \u2018been minister of the United Presbyterian congregation of.East Kil- bride.Dr.Bonner was the third oldest survivor of the Union of Relief and Secession Churches in 1847, his seniors being Dr.Frew, of St.Ninians, and Dr.\u2018Andrew Thomson, of Edinburgh.Jie \u2018was: born at Dunfermline in 1817.At St.Andrew\u2019s University, which he entered in 1832, he took a distinguished \u2018place, dnd was the best classical scholar \"of his \u2018time.After studying in the Divinity Hall of the Relief Church, he wus » licensed in 1840, and in the following Year he accepted a call to East Kilbride, which was one of the three that he received.In addition to the pastoral duties which he faithfully discharged during so long a ministry, he devoted himself earnestly to the study of prophecy, and published in 1871, as a result of his labors, \u201c\u201cThe Great Interregnum,\u2019 a book marked by thorough scholarship and fine poetio feeling.The degree of D.D.was conferred on him by his alma mater in 1885.He- celebrated the jubilee of his \u2018midistry in 1891, the year which also \u2018marked the centenary of his congregation, Till January of last year he did ell his work unaided, but an illness at that time removed him from active ser\u2019 vied, and

he\u2019 was\" appointed teacher of Latheron Free Church School, where he taught very successfully till the year 1853, when he removed to Castletown.Shortly afterwards he went \u2018to Lybster Free Church School, where, under the most adverse circumstances, he turned eut som - of the best scholars the country has produced.Here he taught till January, 1369, when he was successful in being appointed parochial teacher of Reay, a post he held till a few months ago, when he retired, receiving a pension of about £100.He was a man _possesmed of clear intellectual powers, and during all the

the receipt of a telegram an- nounding the death of Dr.Charles, at the résidence of his son, the Rev.Prof.Robert Charles, at Oxford.Dr.Charles.was in his usual health, except that he had been weakened

levels of the reservoir.There is a general outcry against the Urban District Council for having given away the public water to a large number of builders for mortar during the last three morths.A destructive fire occurred on Sunday, Aug.20, at fhe Whitepark Dyeing and Finishing Works, the finest in Ireland, and the property of Mr.R.P.Carse, Manchester, situate at Ballyclare, nine miles from Belfast.The boiler- house, cloth boiling house, wash-house, padding and dyeing rooms, including a large quantity of valuable machinery, were all destroyed.About 120 employees have been temporarily thrown out of employment.The damage, which is partly covered by insurance, amounts to about £15,000.Quite recently the Great Northern Railway Company of Ireland has added a splendid batch of carriages to its line.The new carriages are about 56 feet in length and built on bogie frames.The \u2018first-class ar: upholstered in moquette and some of them have coupe compartments with plate-glass fronts, while the second-class have been upholstered in repp, and both classes are supplied with lavatory accommodation.The carriages have been built at the company\u2019s works, Dindalk, and are intended for trains running between Belfast, Dublin and Derry.The ceremony of \u2018throwing the dart\u2019 is an ancient custom performed by the Mayor of Cork every third year to assert his authority as admiral

land,\u201d but did not contain the toast of \u2018Her Majesty.\u2019 Before the Mayor had an opportunity of submitting the first arranged toast, a gentleman rose and proposed\u2019 the health of the

accident on the previous day.While the lady and her daughter were out driving with a pony and trap at White- house the animal shied at a passing train, \u2018became unmanageable, and bolted.The shafts of the trap snapped and the occupants were thrown heavily to the ground.Miss Moriarty, who was driving, escaped practically unhurt, but Mrs.Moriarty unfortunately received injuries to her head of so serious a nature ae to necessitate her removal to the residence of Dr.Manly, Whitehouse, where she passed away.The death recently occurred of Mr.Robert S.Gabbett, J.P., of Garryken- nedy House, Nenagh, and Castle Lake, in the county of Limerick.The de great agé of 84 years, was one of the best known and popular gentlemen in the county of Tipperary, and was connected by blood or marriage with many of the lending families in that county and of Clare.He held during his ca- the public in his native county, with all classes of whom he was exceedingly popular.During the earlier portion of his long life the late Mr.Gabbett travelled widely, finally settling down as a \u2018cattle rancher in Australia, in which pursuit he amassed a very considerable fortune.All the shops in the town were shuttered as\u2018 a mark of sympathy with the family and friends of the deceased.Visitors and tourists who have lately been to Glendalough will doubtless have either seen or heard of a poor sheep which since last April has been a prisoner on one of the high points on the rugged and steep hill on the Upper Lake.Many plans have from time to time been formed for the rescue of the poor ani mal, but no one was found willing to undertake the risk.A.gentleman from South Africe, staying with some friends in the ncighborhood for a couple of days, was told the story, and went to the place to see if a rescue could be effectéd.Having taken his bearings, he went the following evening, single-handed, with only a thin tarred rope, and after a most arduous and dangerous climb of two hours succeeded -in reaching the spot.After some coaxing and encouraging to the poor sheep, which was in a very emaciated condition, having had no food except what was immediately around, it was eventually bound by the rope, and: in due time safely landed in a boat and conveyed to its owner.So hungry was the poor brute that when swinging in the air it tried to bite at some grass it touched.Had it been left much

stronger feeling of disgust at one\u2019s self; utter loss of hope in the ultimate triumph of viatue in the present state of society, and total all-embracing dissastis- faction with things that are.It is astonishing how easy it is at times to be seized by a fit of the blues.A fancied dight, an.imaginary trouble, an exaggerated idea of one's own insignificance \u2018brought home by some cause or other, will all separately or combined bring on an attack of this complaint.At times the mind is so.open to attack that everything is tinged with morbidness.The sight of the happiness of others, or even the effort of one\u2019s friends to please one\u2019s self are but the excuse for bitter though'ts and unwholesome fancies.The Bluæs is apparently and on the surface a disease of the mind.But

needed ideas Lo the dis>ussion.oe There is one gr:at lack which appears in almost all of what is written on these subjects from the professedly Christian standpoint, and that is this: that the significance and -eal value of the Divine gift that came to the first believing Jews at Jerusalem (Acts ii.) to the first be- heving Samaritans at Samaria (Ch.viii.), to the first believing Gentiles at Cesarea (ch.xi.) to Saul of Tarsus, ! y after his conversion (ch.ix.) emd to twelve or nrore disciples whom- Paul mes at Ephesus (ch.xix.) has been largely treated with very slight oo, es A \u2018was the answer of the er iv.Toe specific prayer of Christ xiv., , and was stated by Peter on the day of Pentecost (Acts ii., 33) to be the work of Christ, it must be one of the fundamental facts of true Christianity.And \u2018as the reception of this gift meets us at the threshold of the Church\u2019s history being a universal experience (I.Cor.xii., 13) it demands as intense a consideration as does the incarnation, the atonement or the reéürrection of Jesus Christ.Thet thé neglect of this subject is a sad, \u2018serious and abeurd mistake on the part of Christian thinkers, will be shown farther om.Christ's sermon on the mount, preached in the beginning days of his public \u2018ministry, may be taken as his \u2018platform \u2018of the moral principles, his standard of ethics, and its realization in his life the \u201cdeal for those who belong to the king- -dem of God.But there is another discourse by the same preacher, uttered within a few hours of this crucifixion, which, like the mount sermon, covers three chapters of John\u2019s record, as the other does of Matthew\u2019s.The sermon on the mount is mainly a collection of ethi- ca! precepts or commandments, but only incidenta:ly and pemotely does it reveal the way by which the anxious soul may lift itself or be lifted by another into that life of unselfishness, benignity; and.\u2018harifony with God which its standards indicate as a poegbility, _its concluding words (Matt.vii., 21-28) show to be obligatory and indispensable.But the opher discourse, that.one re- \u201ccordëd by John, furnishes only one \u2018commandment/ stat, had, not been.given previously.It is mainly occupied with \u201c prophemes of spiritual endowment, and promises of a wonderful improvement in experience as the result of that endowment.The discourse we are speaking of is contained in chapters xiv., xv.and xvi.And if we glance at the seventeenth, in which.Jesus utters his thoughts to bis Father concerning those to whom he had been addressing his.words of promise, we see that the effect on the world was to be immensely beneficial.(John xvii.,.\u201821-23.© ; Nour, there-are four places within \u2018the compass of the discourse in question in \u2018which this great gift, the gift of the Holy Ghost, is promised by Jesus Christ.This gift is not a thing, but a person.Not a human nor even an angelic, but a \u2018Divine person.Not another Divine person to be a visible and physically tangi- \u2018ble companion to them as Christ himseif \u2018had been, but an invisible but yet real Divine Person to dwell in them indi- vidualy.He, said Jesus, shall be in you.The incarnation of God, begun in the pattern and pioneer mam, Jesus, was to te extended to all the brethren of Jesus.This coming person he calls the Holy Ghost or guest, because he was to be - feceived- into and to dwell in their \"hearts; he calls him the Spirit of Truth \" because he was to anmihilate the work of the Father of lies, and he calls him the paraclete or comforter, because of the complete satisfaction which he pro- \u2018duces.in the consciousness of those in whom he takes up his abode.He also \u201camures \u201cthem that this Divine person \u201c \u201cfould \u2018abide forever.And in.several \u201cplécés in the discourse he points to a .definite moment or hour, a moment at \u2018that time.future when he should come.\u2018After that epochal moment he was to \u2018teach all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever 1 have gaid unto you.\u2019 (Chs.xiv., xxvi.) He was \u201cto \u2018bear.witness\u2019 of Jesus, or testify of ché.(Ch.xv., 26.) He was to convict \u201cthe world\u2019 of sin, that world which in \u2018îts- natural state apprehended not the Christ.He.was to: \u2018guide believers into all the triith,\u201d and to \u2018shew them things Yo come\u2019 (ch.xvi., 813); he was to take things of the Father and the Son (things of providence end redemption), and shew \u2018them to- them.And finally (though this \"was not: promised until a few moments \u2018previous to his ascension), he wes to be to them \u2018power.- As the hundred and twenty were on the morning of the day of Pentecost, \u201821\u2019 \u2018filled with the Holy Ghost,\u2019 Acts.ii.4, so they were all furnished with all of the endowment: above mentioned.And, as on the evening of te day of Pentecost, the three thousand, \u2018gladly \u201creceived : Peter\u2019s word,\u2019 which word of- _frved to them all the same \u2018gift of the :Holz: Ghost,\u201d -so they also received the -semte-spiritual enrichment and power, chapter ii., 41.: Now, - contrast.the effect of Christ's own \u2018ethical preaching,\u2019 previous to Pen- toceat.on the lives of those who heard him most \u2018frequently, and who had the inestimable privilege of asking for any explanation that was needed, and who during three wonderful years breathed in the holy atmosphere of his presence in intimate companionship; with the effects Ghost at Pentecost ! See the two sons \u2018of Zebedee selfishly seeking seats of honor above their brother apostles.See the disciples who wished a whole village of Samaritans burned up because of a lack of hospitality on the part of its people.Remember the frequent exhibitions.of weak faith or unbelief on the part of the whole company of the apostles, notably, when at the time of his crucifixion, they aH forsook him and fled.How the moral weakness of Peter was revealed, when he wilted under the gibes of a servant girl, and denied his Lord with the dark accompaniment of blasphemy! And the culminating depravity of Judas, in_selling his Master for the silver that his enemies paid him! That the disciples received great benefit from their association with Jesus is certain, but that did not prevent those developments of character which fell so terribly below the standard of the Sermon on the Mount, a discourse to which they had all listened with interest and admiration.: What kind of character was produced by the coming of the Holy Ghost to those who \u2018receive him ?Why, the whole power of \u2018depravity was conquered ! Selfishness was annihilated, love triumphant.Godliness became all- prevailing, and spontaneous, the God- likeness of him who had been revealed by Jesus as the loving Father, who having, \u2018spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, will therefore with him freely give us all things.\u2019 The possibility of complete personal rightennsness was then demonstrated, being realized in actual life before every eye.The problem of Christian Social ism was them and there satisfactorily solved, for a Christian society was formed by Christ himself, in which his ideas dominated the whole life of the community.They all were of one heart and soul, And only love inspired the whole.And this Christian society was not formed and located in a piece of virgin territory, where the temptations to an opposite course would be minimized to the smallest possible quantity; but in the midst of an Oriental metropolis; a city whose social life was ruled by Roman paganism and Pharisaic hypocrisy.In that new ordering of human relatien- ships there was exhibited to all spectators an object-lesson in which might be seen the answer of God to the prayer that Jesus had taught his followers to utter, \u2018Thy will be done on earth as in heaven.\u2019 0 Fa every: other subject that provokes speculatio and attracts enterprise and exploitation : succeesful experiments are joyfully and eagerly studied.At Pcnte- cost is the \u2018one successful experiment in \u2018Christian Socialism,\u201d and in the community then formed is demonstrated both the weakness and the strength of \u2018ethical preaching\u201d Why should this unprecedented descent of God into human lives, this grandest of all epochal facts in human history, be so much evaded and avoided as it is by men who allow themselves to be called Christians?.Those who exhort the average OChris- tian of to-day to live out the life des- -cribed in the Sermon on the Mount, without emphasizing dntelligently the supremacy of the Holy Ghost as promised in the sermon in the upper room; expecting that a general yielding to the exhortation would produce an ethical millennium, are doomed to a grievous\u2019 d\u2018s- appointment.And if the preachers of these days should one and \u2018all take n \u2018new departure\u2019 in that direction, enforcing Christ's laws while lacking the \u2018power\u2019 that Christ promised and bestowed at Pentecost, their only succ:s8 would be found in the production of thus condition which Paul thus describes, (Rom.vi.18, 19),\u2014\u2018 For to will is present with me, but how to perform that which is good I find not, For the good that would I do not, but for the evil that I would not that do I\u2019 But men filed with the intellectual, knowledge of Christ became also filled with the Holy Ghost, then this is their «on- \u2018dition described by Paul (Rom.viii., 2, 4, 5),\u2014\u2018 The law of the Spirit of life\u201d in \u2018Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death .that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit, for they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh, but they that are after che Spirit, the things of the Spirit.\u201d And the \u2018things of the Spirit\u2019 the fruit of the Spirit, are clustered by Paul, like grapes from a heavenly eshcol, in Gal.v.22,23.These fruits cover the whale territory of Christian ethics.Or to change the figure, they fully eatisfy the cravings of those who \u2018hunger and thirst\u2019 \u2018after the kind of righteousness which Christ requires.That the Pentecostal community was not perpetuated in its original glory is not to be attributed to any defect or mistake in the Divine arrangements, for they cannot be other than perfect.In addition to those personal endowments bestowed and possessed by believers, there was also this astonishing announcement made by their Saviour and Lord, \u2018 All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.\u201d With divine moral power in their possession, and all providential power in the bands of their Friend, not only was the perpetuation of \u2018the model church possible, but the subjugation of the world also.Paul\u2019s Epistle to the Galatians gives us a picture of the first backward movement from genuine th \u2019 i f the Holy | pat followed the effusion o : y the moral glory and spiritual power of \u2018systematic, THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.Christianity, showing it to be caused hy accepting something else instead of the Spirit, a8 the ruling force in their lives They who having \u2018begun in the Spirit, were seeking to make perfect.in the flesh.\u201d Gal.iii., 3.Can there be in 1899 a restoration of the Pentecost in A.D.33?External and circumstantial environments are very different, but Divine truth and human nature remain the same.Christ's own promise, \u201cHe shall abide with you forever,\u2019 cannot fail.If to-day there.is'a consecration as thorough, and a faith aa complete, and a desire as intense as there was in the hearts of the hundred and twenty who waited for ten days before Pentecost, or as was in the hearts of the three thousand who heard in half an hour, on the evening of Pentecost, Peter's offer of \u2018the gift of the Holy Ghost,\u201d he will surely come.\u2018For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him.\u201d Acts ii, 30.\u2014 -B.SHERLOCK.Toronto, Sept., 1899.(To \u2018the \u2018Editor\u2019 of thé\u2018 Witmess\u201d) Sir-\u2014The raücor \u2018shown by both sides in the recent controversy, may be attributed to the fact that thé difference between those who advocate Christian socialism and those who religiously oppose it is not the difference that appears on the surface of things.It liés far deeper than a mere confusion as to statistics.It is a modern phase of.the oft-recurring disagreement between the priest and the prophet, the preacliér: of peace and the preacher of righteousness.It is the variance between subjective re- Jig ousness and an objective moral standard.On the one side, some will not hesitate to say that Christians are selfish, \u2018and that they are taught to be so.'To thake this quite plain: when a Ohristiaar has done something unkind or umjüst he repents of it because he feels that he has stained his soul or disgraced.his calling.He may incidentally regret the \u201cinjury he has done to another, but.his regrets\u2019 do not centre round the other man, they\u2019 centre round himself.= The Church emphasizes this .view of : sin.\"Te Church encourages this kind of - répen- tance.The Church has always done so.Now, those who condemn \u2018the Chtrch as unchristian on account\u2019of its, indi ualistic teaching, will.newer: get: further with the argument: unless realize that the individualisté-tertidgGey is, an\u2019 immediate and legitimabgifesult of itual J religion.' In some#heathen ifiiés there is né conséigné# but cus- din.The gospel \u2018call \u2018 siz oti, makes him feel that hig sion is all-important for Hiéiielf.We find our conscious mental world enlarged by the great experiences of life, but especially by religion, which is a great experience kept up.The man , who speaks with God, is, in a sense, a man alone, His joy in God and his knowledge of God, though he may try to communicate them to others, remain great personal secrets\u2014a new name in a.white stone.Indeed, there is nothing great enough to counterbalance the glorious individualism of the Christian hope\u2014 except the Christian ethic.But, from the other side of the bat- tle-field there arises a cry against certain socialists who will insist on setting up the Sermon on the Mount in the place of henor, and referring to it 2s the original and genuine Christianity.Every- oné who has experienced Christianity is more or less vividly aware that the Sermon on the Mount is not \u2018it\u2019 And some of us may be driven by the confusion of tongues to wonder what the Sermon on the Mount has to do with it, and why that puzzling fifth chapter of Matthew was put in the bible at

the world for \u2018a \u2018faryer community life ?While far: from the little homeland, one of these\u2019 exiles.had a revelation concerning the great world.His thoughts clothed themselves in such images as Tennyson uses when heidays: \u2018Let the ape and tiger die,\u2019 meaning our frivolity and cruelty.There was.the majestic selfishness of the lion, and the brutal selfishness of the bear, and the swift, skilful selfishness of the leopard.And after these there was a beast ivith \u2018great iron teeth, and he stamped his prey with his feet\u2014selfichness organized, effective.And when the vower of the heast was taken \u201caway, > - adivid- ry | birds and animals, that.do not.require a Japt-un- ethic.One like a son of man, came.His dominion is an everlasting dominion.Have you not read ?Carry the same thought over to the book of Matthew and notice that in those early chapters we are constantly bidden to treat others as if they were as important as ourselves; nay, to give them the benefit of the doubt, and let them be more 1m- portant sometimes than ourselves.We must not treat any man slightingly, for God himself is good to all men.Are not these even as the orders of a new and lasting regime, the words of a perfect manhood coming in its glory?Turn to the later discourses in the same book, After the parables that concern Christianity, as \u2018a\u2019 religion \u2014 stories that tell of a waning nation and a waiting Church\u2014the last parable of all speaks of Humanity as \u2018the\u2019 religion.In the day of Christ's universal dominion \u2014is not this the teaching?\u2014all zaankind will be judged according to their humanity, according to the things in which they have been humane./ ANSTANCE REDE.THE ETHICS OF CHRISTIAN SOCIALISM.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019 Sir,\u2014In former issues of the \u2018Witness\u2019 \u2018Humanitas\u2019 has asserted that \u2018owing to lack of ethical preaching the working man has been alienated from the Churgh,\u201d and in the weekly of Aug.22 he advocates the \u2018nationalization of the \u2018land,\u2019 leaving his readers to infer that ethical preaching requires the promotion of that scheme.In order that a subjoct may be dis cussed intelligently it is necessary that we mutually attach the same meaning to words.\u2018Humanitas\u2019 uses the word \u201cworkingman\u2019 in the restricted sense of the trades unionists, ignoring the fact that the majority of workingmen in Cam- ada till the soil, and are: not alienated frem, but are the Church in many locail- ties.He also advocates legislation in the interest of the \u2018workingman,\u2019 but fails to realize the true industrial position in this country.Canada exports a large agricultural surplus, the price of which regulates that of the whole agri- -cultural product, and establishes the re- \u2018muneration which the workingman on \u2018the land receives for his labor ; conse- \u2018quently no legislation can benefit him except in lowering the price of what he buys, and it ie not contended that special labor laws will do that.= ; In \u2018advocating the \u2018nationalization of \u2018the Jand,\u201d - \u2018Humanitas\u2019 instances the title deed etc.; the Maoris = who re füzed to sell their land, and the an- kgient Britons, who \u2018held their, land in s and dfithalé T\u2018ädmit,: for they \u201clive and die in a constarit- struggle fo possess it, and that the\u201cMaoris and the ancient Britons had no wants which thé land did not supply I will not dis pute.But here we have the assumption that access to the land is the whole of man\u2019s inheritance at the present time, and that the accumulated knowledge and skill called civilization is the property of those who can monopolize them.He also refers to the \u2018system of land tenure given by God to Moses,\u201d but fails to de fine how it should be applied in Canada.Granting that the present occupants of the land might represent the Canaanites, who are the chosen people ?\u2018Humanitas\u2019 refers to what he calls the land monopoly, but how the term originated I cannot imagine, unless to divert attention from the attempt of labor agitators to monopolize for the class the benefit of \u2018civilization\u2019 The first evi dence of, in fact the object of, a monopoly is an increase of prices.Is it al leged that the nationalization of the land in Canada would lower the price of its products ?There is no land monopoly, for any one may have access to a large proportion of the land\u2014by paying for the improvements.How large, it is im- common.That the land is éverything bq\" the bird possible to say, until we agree on a com- \u2018mon unit of the value of labor.In con- \u2018clusion, while criticising \u2018Humanitas\u2019s\u2019 conception of ethics, I am not auestion- ing his faith.ADAM RUSSELL.Malvern, Aug.29, 1899.~.ZIONISM' AND LISM.(To, the Editor.of the \u2018 Witness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014The Zionist, movement: conceras all who believe in thé: peadeful solution of the economic difficulties which oppose the equalization of opportunity.ihe gotes of brass will be burst, the bars of iron sundered, the oppressed set free, \u2018and every yoke broken, for Israel\u2014so say the prophets, and if for them, most assuredly for all \u2018mankind.Moses, \u2018Joshua and Samuel labored in nation- building according to the plan shewed them in the Mount of God, a, plan in- \u2018tended to present to the world the witness of a peculiar people for \u2018the glorious \u2018liberty of the children of God\u2019\u2014a liberty uñknown to the crafts of Paganism, a system at every point antagonistic to the individualism of Gentile philosophies, and\u2019 the covetousness of heathen king- domhs wallowing.in the bondage of corruption.It was not because that the race was inbred, or abhorred ewin2's flesh, or that the Semitic stmin so worked, that it was warped from the aim of the lofty avatars of freedom \u2018raised vp\u2019 to be deliverers.Any other \u2018chosen race\u2019 would have had a militant David fighting for expansion, a luxurious So.o- mon seeking open ports for commerne, with all the results that follow departure from national ideals and violence done to a fundamental social compact.The historic muse requires no other subject for unfolding to attentive minds \u201cthe greatest truth in the world\u2019 than the history of Israel from the Exodus until this day of the Zionist Movement.The \u2018 Witness,\u201d in a recent article on Zionism, said: ¢ .the Jews receive their whole inspiration and all their ideals from Scriptures, which almost in no case deal with the man except as a member of a race.The sing denounced are dealt with as the sins of the nation; the conscience appealed to is the collective conscience of the people.When national existence was in abeyance the only figure that seemed adequate to express the calamity was that of the vallev of dry bones in which every bone was lost to the organism in which alone it could have life.\u2019 It is cerrectly remarked that this mode of thought was common to all primitive peoples.An Israelite, however, traverses it in a letter in your columns by adducing the decalogue.He surely has not had in mind that teaching of Jesus to which the Rabbis agree that \u2018 Love is the fulfilling of the law.\u2019 And is it mot the fact that there can be no rightness or wrongness, no goodness or sin, apart from the obligations of human relationship ?Individuality, or responsibility apart from relationship, is inconceivable.No one may choose a condition in which utter absence of relationship exists.Physical suicide is crime, social suicide is crime also.It is a crime of degrees\u2014 like homicide, vilest in the case of Lim who, having much, yields little, for to whomsoever men commit much of him they will ask the more\u2019 And thus all that a man has of wealth, learning, ability, is held in fee for the benefit of others.Of every one is asked the question, \u2018 What hast thou that thou didst not receive ?If this be true, must not all we receive be repaid ?Hence the prophiet\u2019s burden was to remind Israel of its debt and duty to \u2018show forth,\u2019 to \u2018 witness,\u201d to \u2018manifest\u2019 the excellence and sufficiency of the moral endowment and culture bestowed on the race.This is of the essence of socialism, more ploinly called fellowship, that no one lives for himself.The desire of wealthy Israelites to establish in their forefathers\u2019 land a home for oppressed outcasts of their race, may bd viewed ss a national or religious movement, but is in faet socialistic.It will be impossible to carry it out successfully on amy but socialistic lines.That it may become a gredt success is to be expected, because Palestine, of all countries, offers advantages for colonization second to none.A few of these may be numerated.1.There is good reason flor belief in the existence of mineral gas and petroleum, the former in the vicinity of Jerusalem, the latter near the Dead Sea.The development of these resources would bring a large revenue to the colony.2.Irrigation by means of \u2018bored wells and reservoirs may be im- \u2014\u2014 ]\u2018mensely extended \u201cat moderate \u201cexpense: The rolling character of the country is eminently favorable to \u2018the use of this aid to cultivation.3.Supply of manure mmy be obtained by recourse to the manufacture of the steinmehl (stonemeal) the use of which in Switzerland is Ye- ported to have had remarkable results.A means of fertilizing without herds of cattle and sheep enlarges the means of human food supply.4.Fermentation of animnl manures is a crude, wasteful method, fruitful in breeding insect pes.s, responsible for some weeds, and giving only a short fertility.By mixing cut straw and vegetable waste with household and other excrements in moulded shapes which are coked or carbonized in kilns or covered heaps, and then crushed, a poudrette is obtained of most durable quality.It is, in fact, a charcoal highly absorbent of atmospheric nitrogen, which it yields up slowly to rains and dews, along with the mineral salts it contains.The application of this inan- ure to the surface of desert sands requires only the aid of irrigation to render fertile the most forbidding wastes, and to render intensive tillage profitable in regions like Palestine, where the seasons make two yearly harvests possible.Such a mode of applying manure yearly insures a gradual addition to the sced bed.The plains of Palestine retain their ancient fertility, but the elevations, denuded of protecting wood, have been leached and worn into sterility.As it is unlikely that much land in the plains will be purchasable, the farming of the Zionist, if they colonize in large numbers, may be profitably directed to.the reclamation of the cheaper land of the \u2018south country\u2019 and the hill ranges of ancient Judea and Samaria.Fruit, nut and olive orchards with vegetable gardens and small highly cultivated fields of wheat, maize and barley, will afford ample supply of food if the efforts of the colonists are directed to the task of obtaining the highest measure of prodne- tion.The necedsities of the situation seem to forbid any combination of pastoral industry and to throw the colonists into the sole work of tillage, thus falling into line with the ancient prophecies, that the people at this restoration will be vegetarian: \u201cThey shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain\u201d \u201cThe wilderness and solitary place shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom ra the rose.\u2019 The organization of the Jewish colonies in Palestine will afford the student of sociology an opportunity to test the value of that ancient Jewish institution, the village council.Its defect was that it was identical with the rule of the synagogue and therefore suffered from the Jewish passion for dogma, and thus! became an engine of infolerance and cp- pression.If the Babylonish captivity eradicated a tendency to ido'atry, surely the digpersion must have taught the Jews henceforth to shun that crime \u2018rom which they have suffered most, the crime | ! \u2018compiish » nothing.SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9,\\1899.of

Sir,\u2014As Mr.Huxtable\u2019s third letter was largely a synopsis of his first and second letters, any reply to it would involve the repetition of arguments gl.ready given, and at this stage of this discussion even new arguments (and surely, repetitions) would be undes:r- able What is now most needed is not individual opinions; but facts and fie ures, the securing of which is the ob- Ject of this letter.Will Mr.Huxtable be willing to take part in an investigation.of the physical, mental, moral and spiritual environment of the poor (including workingmen) who live in Moat- real?: Should such investigation prove Mr.Huxtable\u2019s arguments correct, that the Church is doing her duty towards these poor, and that the masses of them are loyal to the Church, either as members or adherents (attendan:s), the statements which have been made to the contrary during this controversy, will be retracted.This request for investigation is made not only in the interest of the poor, but also in that of the Church.The plan of investigation should follow lines somewhat similar to the following:\u2014Tha city to be divided into districts, giving to each church one district, for inwest'ga- tion and for philanthropic work during the coming winter.It is during the winter season that the poor suffer most, and therefore the more urgently need coun- se] and sympathy and help.The reports next spring would show the work done by each church, as well as the amount of work which should be done annually in each district.Would nor such work be the most Chnst-like in whick the Church could engage?HUMANITAN.(To the Editor of the \u201cWitness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014The controversy as to the Church and the poor has cleared the air to some extent, and if it does nothing else will set people thinking.But there is no reason why some practical result should not follow, and I venture to suggest that any movement having improvement in view should be initiated by those who commended the discussion by finding -se- rious fault with .things - as they \u201cexist.But a.public \u2018platfdrm discitisioir vrilt-ab- What might ub- complish something would be a Gonder ence of parties interested, in which there could be a free interchange of views on the subject.There are many persons in Montreal who have been giving time and money for years past in work for the amelioration of the lot of the poor.They would doubtless be glad to receive hints and proposals for further improvement.But \u2018Humanitas\u2019 has more than once alluded to economic conditions, and bas written two letters, both of them interesting, on that subject.As to sanitary conditions, they clearly come under the jurisdiction of the City Council.The council's shortcomings are in everybody\u2019 mouth.Let the Health Committee be stirred up to do its duty in the premises.As to the tenure of land, this is a great subject, coming, of course, under the jurisdiction of parliament, either Dominion or provincial, or both.If \u2018Humanitas\u2019 will write a letter propounding some practical scheme for getting the people on the freehold land we have to dispose of in Canada it will fall in with what scores of persons in.the country are thinking and laboring about.There are at least half a million of the prople of this province who have voluntarily left the land for the factories of the United States, and the question is can they by any means.be induced to take to the land again ?And if \u2018Humanitas\u2019 can show us how a man with a family of seven children can gain a living in this climate by cultivating one acre of ground he will open the way to such an enormous accession tb our \u2018Hopu- lation as hes never been dresinéd \u2018of.A CLOSE OBSERVER.Sept.8, 1899.: Le THE PRACTICE OF ETHICS.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u201d) Sir \u2014When a simple explanation will make everything satisfactory between \u2018Humanitas\u2019 and those he criticises, it will be the part of a fair mind to scan such explanation closely.Here it is.The key to the difference (between \u2018Hu- manitas\u2019 and his critics) is indicated by \u2018A Close Observer\u2019 It is this: The churches do not regard the practice of ethics as being the cause or source or ground of salvation, or as being the reason why a porson is saved ; but they regard the \u2018being born again\u2019 as being the initial necessity of a person's being saved.And so they preach that, and lay great stress on it, and often do not give prominence enough to practical necessary ethics, Now, it \u2018would seem that - there is a deadlock right here.One sida sees the absolut: necessity, in prac tical life, of having true and right principles of social living preached to every body.And the other side is perfect!s certein that tha prime necessity of preaching is to tel! people that they \"Baronpay, Serysnser 9, 1809.J must be \u2018born again,\u2019 must have a pew pature, must have in themselves repentance and remission of sins.There is a principle that makes these two ideas one (not merely reconcilable, but one), ind that principle is this : The \u2018being [on again\u2019 is a new birth of the mind, À its principles, of right principles of thinking, intending and acting (both individually and socially), as well as a new birth of the heart, of its emotions, wishes, feefings and nature.In other words, right principles of living (both in.div dually and socially) are not merely a scquence of the mew birth, but a part of it, an essential part of it, for it should b- remembered that the limiting the \u2018Leing born anew\u2019 to simply have the heart or its wishes, intents and emotions, horn anew, is an arbitrary limitation.Christ did not so limit it.A perusal (in the Greek Testament) of the many pasrages in which the word \u2018Spirit\u2019 is used will satisfy any one that Christ meant by being \u2018born again\u2019 or \u2018anew,\u2019 \u2018born of Spirit\u201d that the mind, its th-ughts and principles of thinking, intending and acting (both in one\u2019s own personal spirit life and socially) was to le made over entirely mew, as well as one\u2019s heart or soul or spirit.Thus, ethics, true ethics (the ethics of the bible and of mental, moral and social science, not merely fanciful or speculative ethics), are an essential part of the n~w birth, the new nature, and should be preached as such, not merely as a soquerce of it.And so, the long: gought-for object of \u2018Humanitas\u2019 and of thousands of other thoughtful men like him.will Fe fourd to be not only recon- ciJable with, but one with, the true Christian view, which should be the churches\u2019 view.M.R.ROWSE.UNION IS STRENGTH.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir \u2014In the interesting and excellent letters which, from time to time, appear in the \u2018Witness,\u2019 (such as those of both \u2018\u201cHumanitas,\u2019 and his friends and critics), there are noticeable something like these facts:\u2014Eirst, an observer notices a regrettable and painful state of affairs.He sees that this requires a certain remedy, and writes about it.He gets an answer in which great truths are mingled with criticism (probably harsh), He replies with a counter harsh criticism.This goes on increasing.At the end, the result probably is, that the original writer sees with de spair that it is impossible to get the observed painful condition of affairs remedied; while the critic is only confirmed in his idea that the original writer is all wrong.The real fact is that both these writers are working to benefit.humanity; and if they could.join their; forces.(fer in: union is.strength), instead:of opposing each \u201cother, and workitg at: crois purposes, vastly more good would-be effected by their practical labors in the world of men.The old panacea that used to be recommended to get such opposing writers in harmony with each other, was that they should have chari- taible dispositions towards each other.Now, this is all well enough, and beneficial in its way, but it does not go far enough, nor hit the core of the matter: for people can hardly be charitable to ideas that they believe to be wrong, What is further needed (in such matters, as well as in many great present- day movements, where good is stopped from being accomplished, by those, who wish to do good, opposing each other), is a new birth of the mind, a mental regeneration, a broad-mindedness, that is fully able to see and appreciate the good truth that lies back of, and embraces and harmonizes the two truths whose several adherents oppose each other.The immediate object and mission of the Initiator of our present Christian civilization, was that \u2018all things should become new,\u2019 all wrong things and ways set right\u2014\u2018Behold I make .à new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness New hearts, new minds, new bodies, new individuals, new relations (social and national), between individuals, new national life, everything wrong purged and cleaned away from every form and relation of human and earthly life, (\u2018a new earth\u2019)., All these things should be worked for by ministers, by Christian socialists, by churches, by scientists, and all shou!d in union, instead of in opposition \u2018and indignation at each other.And in order.to this a \u2018néw birth\u2019 of the \u2018mind\u2019 of all the people of Christendom is meed- ed.; M.R.ROWSE.THE OLD POST-OFFICE.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir, \u2014Being an old Montrealer, I have lately been often asked as to what I know of the old post-office, which was on St.James street some fifty-five years ago.The old post-office was on part of the site of what is now the Standard Insurance building.After the post-office was moved to the opposite side of the street the old building was occupied for years by Messrs.Dawson as books:ilers and stationers, In 1845 the private residence which stood on the site of the old \u2018Star\u2019 building was purchased and altered into furniture warerooms by Messrs.J.& W.Hilton, and occupied by them for twenty-five years.After they had sold and left the buildings they were occupied by Messrs.James Walker & Co.Now, sir, I can vouch for this statement, as I was for years employed by Messrs.J.& W.Hilton and worked on the premises, the post-office being next door.It never was on the old \u2018Star\u2019 building site.I have some recollection of reading in the newspapers that when the workmen were taking down th- old building to build the Standard building they found a skeleton.I saw that akele- ton sixty-one years ago, when I was an apprentice boy working in Dr.Robertson's house.That is proof enough that Dr.Robertson did not live on the site of the old \u2018Star\u2019 building.R.WILLIAMS.1726 Ontario street, Montreal, Sept.6, 1898.: WHAT BOERS WOULD DO.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir, \u2014 Your correspondent, \u2018Observer,\u2019 does not know the Transvaal or he would on reflection have acted as \u2018Traveller\u2019 did on seeing a kaffir flogged.Any interference, as he suggests he would have done, and which any Briton would feel like doing, would have entailed further cruelty to the kaffir, and to himself the result would be a heavy fine and probatiy three months in jail in addifion.No justice to the hated \u2018Roineck,\u201d his wife or children if it can poesibly be avoided, is their idea, especially in outlying districts.At the time of the Jameson raid some forty Boer farmers under arms at Middelburg, a town some forty miles east of Broukhorst.Spruit, openly swore to Kill every British man, woman and child in the district if Jameson got into Johannesburg.If war is declared now will they spare the unarmed man, the defencelres woman or the-innocent child?Time will show.- EX-UITLANDER.CRIMINAL ANIMALS.THOROUGHLY WICKED WILD ANIMAIS.\u2014 E.Seton Thompson, naturalist to the government of Manitoba, gives in bis book, \u2018Wild Animals I Have Known,\u2019 some curious.examples of depravity among wild beasts.The best story is that of the New Mexican wolf who led a band that killed a cow a day for five years.Finally the ranchers offered $1,000 for this wolf\u2019s pelt.He was easily distinguished.His track was an inch wider than that of other wolves.A professional wolf-hunter tried to earn the bounty, but the wolves killed his dogs and he gave it up.Then Mr.Thompson took the cage.He melted cheese in the fat of a heifer in a china dish, cut it into lumps with a bone knife to avoid the taint of metal and put in strychnine and cyanide in odor-proof capsules.He wore gloves steeped in cow\u2019s blood, and avoided breathing on the baits.The baits were.picked up.He followed the track and found that the wolf had laid all four 4 : red .di \u2018them.=~ - \u20ac : The wolves then tock to killing sheep, Traps were set to the number of 130 in different parts of the ranch.The trails of the big wolf and of the pack were traced up to one set of traps, «nd \u2018the doings of the leader were marked in the dust.He had stopped the rest, warned by scent, and scretched around the trap till he found the buried chain and picket.On another part of the ranch he entered an H-shaped series of traps, and detected the danger.The trail showed that he had slowly backed out on his own track, putting each paw down backward until out of the dangerous ground.He had then sprung.some of the traps by scratehing clods and stones.backward at them with his hind feet.He was at last caught by dragging over the traps the body of a female wolf, the scent of which he followed.No more skillful criminal than this wolf was ever known.Old Eph, a lame grizzly, which in two years ruined half the hog-raisers in the Sacramento valley by his wasteful love of pork, was a close second.A bob-tailed wolf kept the whole city of Paris in terror for ten years at the beginning of the fourteenth India, killed 300 human beings in less than two years.A famous rogue dog of Derbyshire was conspicuous by its faithful care ,of sheep in the daytime, but was savage and ugly towards men strangers.It slept in the house, and was never suspected, though sheep- worrying took place on the farms nocar.At last it was tracked in the snow from a fold where twenty sheep had been kill ed to the farm where it lived, the dog having forgotten that the track would show, though it took partial means to conceal it by running along the top of a stone wall.DOCKING HORSES.(From \u2018Blackwood.\u201d) Docking horses took its rise in the dark days when bull and beer baiting \"were honored by a place in the category of sport, rightly now relegated by law to the catalogue of outrage.This custom of docking was once generally applied to English roadsters, hunters and harness horses.The only useful purpose it ever served was in the Peninsular war, when British dragoons could be most easily distinguished from French by their cock-tails.It fell into disus: with the decline of road coaches, and we owe its unwelcome revival to their partial restoration.It is semseless, barbarous .and disfiguring; it inflicts needless suffering upon trood mares and horses turned out to grass, depriving them of their natural defence against flies, besides the severe pain and shock caused by the operation itself.It should be discouraged in every possible way by influential persons, by thcse who lead the fashion in such things, and agricul tural rocieties ehould be moved to

pull up his coat to protect his poll.Inspiration came to Mr.Buck.Daubing a little molasses on Sambo\u2019s head, he left him to be tormented by the flies for a time, and then placed a cap over his head to show him the use of the covering.Sambo realized the utility of a cap ab once, and has worn it without protest ever since.By these methods, and without the use of the whip that is consid=red so indispensable by most trainers of animals, Sambo\u2019s education was carried on.He can dress himself without as sistance, putting on his shoes and stockings as carefully as an orderly boy, at meal times carrying his chair to the table and sitting up like a regularly recognized member of the family, eating his meals decorously and daintäily, with his napkin tucked under his chin, and be having, in short, with the best of table manners SLEEPS IN A BED.At night Sambo will sedately remove his clothing and climb into the litte white enamelled bedstead provided Jor him, cover himeelf with the bedciothes and dream blissfully of his happy emancipation from the ignorance of his ancestors.Sambo breakfasts, lunches and dines on the food that Mr.Buck and his family eat.He relishes vegetables ccox- ed in any manner, and all kinds of bread, pie, cake, cheese and, strangest of all, he has learned to eat meat and grown very fond of it.Naturalists assert that the orang-outang is a vegetarian, but Sambo has never had a day\u2019s illness since ne has partaken of a meat diet.All food given to him is prepared in the same.manner as that intended fon the family.\"The most interesting experiment is the attempt that Mr.Buck is making to develop Sumbo\u2019s vocal organs.After a careful examination, Mr.Buck concluded that these were perfect and capable of the power of speech.The method employed to teach\u2019 the money to speak he is not desirous of giving in detail He says, however, it consists in parts of GAGNON & MEUNIER 129 and 131 St.Lawrence St.CPP EEE Ebi I ELAS SH Hr S44 each of the

hardly of an age to grasp the advantage of speech, his trainer considers that \u2018even a year.of unavailing effort will not be time wasted, as he is confident that as Sambo grows older he will learn the language.At his present age, two years, Sambo is very nearly as far advanced as most babies, as he uses the words, \u2018 Mamma\u2019 and \u2018Come back.\u2019 Mrs.Buck has petted Sambo to such an extent that if she leaves the room he will ery continually \u2018 Mamma, \u2019 and on ber reappearance, ,will say distinctly, \u2018 Come back.\u2019 : LEARNING TO SPEAK.Mr.Buck admits it will require time, labor \u2018and patience to get anything like a vocabulary of words, to say nothing \u2018of teaching Sambo to put them.together intelligently, While his trainer does not hope to make an accomplished .ora- \u201ctor of Sambo, hp feels very -sure that within a reasonable time he will be able to show to the scientific world a simian who speaks in the English tongue.Such sounds as Sambo is learning to use sre absolutely foreign to the guttural sounds of the orang-outang.: .Mr.Buck has made arrangements with an East Indian trading house to bring over a wild simian at least once a year, so that Sambo may not forget bie mother tongue.Should the efforts to educate the monkey prove successful the time may come when Sambo will act as interpreter between man and the missing INK.2

before sunset, Lord Frederick Cavendish and Thomas Henry Burke, while walking together acrces Phoenix Park, in Dublin, were suddenly vet upon and stabbed to death by a bend of unknown men who as

opinion \u2018was divided: as to.whether it was at ot act or & mere murder.The British Government dealt with it as a murder, bat the Franch Republic refused extradition to a refugee charged with participation in it, and the United States took the same view in the case of several others who escaped to this country.Brit- ish- justice had its way with those whom it caught and tried.Five of them were banged in the execution yard of Kil- mainham jail.Three, who have recent ly been released, received sentences of penal servitude for life; five received sen- Coe terices of ten years and one of

a \u2018beatiful day in May.The park was almost deserted.An Irish car driven by Mylés Kavanaugh and having four occu- .pents, Joe Brady, a stonecutter; lim \u201cKelly, a coach builder; Pat Delaney and Tom Cafirey, was driving slowly up and down the path, followed by the cab of FitzHarris (Skin the Goat).In \u2018the cab were Dan Curley, Michael Fagan and Joe Hanlon, all armed with revolvers and

minute after the murder every one of the eleven had disappeared as completely as if the earth had swallowed them up.Carey and Smith turned and went away as Boon as the eignal was given, Fitzharris started back with his cab before a blow was struck.The four jumped back on the car, Kavanaugh whipped up his little red mare and kept her at full speed om a race around the city of Dublin, driving out by Chapelizad, keeping outside of the city until he re-entzred Ly the south side.He might as well have driven straight home.No one thought his carload was anything more than an ordinary drunken

Spencer saw in the distance what he thought was a scuffle and spoke of it.One person who witnessed the crime frm nearer at hand was so overcome by it that he was unable to: identify-the perpetrators.A telegraph clerk riding by on his wheel saw the bodies and report ed to the police, and then the news| spread.The government acted with promptness and vigor.A reward of ten thousand pounds for the arrest of the assassins and a thousand pounds for any information atout them was offered, and all the Cetective resources of England and Ireland alike were set to work, but all in vain.No enemy of Ireland was in the secret and no friend of Ireland would be tray it.Suspicions were rife\u2014and aoc- curate\u2014and arrests were made, but in the absence of evidence the suspects had to be released.ON THE MURDERERS\u2019 TRAIL.How many were concerned in the plot is not known, and now can never be known.All kinds of claims and statements have been made, but the only sifted evidence was that wrung slowly and painfully from the informers at the trials in April and May, 1883.This evidence established varying degrees of guilt against eighteen different persons, including four who had fled the country.Three informers were allowed to go free.Here we may pause to note the astonishing circumstance that nome of those whose necks were in danger sought to escape.France refused to deliver one of the comspirators, Frank Byrne, and the United States refused to deliver John Walsh, Sheridan and Tynan, who were -also wanted by the British Government.AND THEN\u2014THE INFORMER.But all the actual participants in the affair remained in Dublin, where the hand of juatiee could reach them in an hour, and stil! they.escaped arrest until November, when Pat Delaney, one of the jaunting-car four, made an attempt to shoot Judge Lawson, and this and an attempt to shoot Mr.Field, the foreman of the grand jury, put the authorities on the track of the conspiracy.Arrest and detention was easy under the Crimes act, the associations of the suspected men were enquired into and followed up, and firally in January the government -felt secure in arresting twenty-six men and chaTging them with the murder._ Even then there would have been no hope of conviction, \u2018except through the one reliance of England againet all Irish uprisings\u2014the informer.As the days and the months passed on suspicion began to haunt the minds of the weaklings and cowardice changed their hearts to jelly.The government found its firet witness in one Farrel, who turned Queen\u2019s evidence, though his neck was in no danger.Weakened by his defection Michael Kavanaugh, the driver of the jaunting car, next turned on his associates and became a witness against them.The last and most odious of the informers was James Carey, who had given the signal which sent Cavendish and Burke to death and who in his craven fear of the gallows pronounced on himself a doom as cactain as any the judge could bave given.The trials, based on the information thus obtained, were held in April apd May.The harvest of the Assize was as follows: \u2014 : k | + Sentence -of death wae.paseed on Jos.\u2018Brady, Tim Kelly, Dan\u2019 Curley; Tom Caf- frey, Mike Fagan and Pat Delaney.The sentence of Delaney was commuted to penal servitude for life and subse- guiently reduced to tem years; he had turned informer.Sentences of ten years were inuposed on Dan Delaney, a brother of Pat; on James Mullet, the chairman of the organization, and on McCaffrey, O\u2019Brien and Moloney.- The life sentenced, which have now all been remitted, were those of Joseph Mul- lett, Joe Hanlon and Fitzharris.DOOM OF INFORMER CAREY.No story of the Phoenix Park tragedy would be complete without the epilogue of the doom of Carey, the informer, an event which stirred Ireiand scarcely less deeply than the killing of Cavendish and Burke.The government did its best to save kim from the vengeance openly threat- ered against him.He was kept safely in jail, was safely and secretly spirited away to England, and as Australia would have none of him, he was secretly and safely shipped with his wife and seven children from London on the night of July 4 on board the \u2018Kinfauns Castle,\u2019 bound for Capetown.The Irish banshee goes not overseas, but Caney\u2019s banshee must have put an extra croak in her laugh as she told her weird sisters that Carey had mailed on 1 I) mm Ig piney Is res SUE \\ {i Ua) \\ NAN RE \u2014 re SV Nue SARA \\ i) \\ Ra SAAN NS NN \\ 2 7 7 NS SRE NES S $5 y hs CA DN Wd A x RN a À RS s i 7 Za NY Se HIP / NN L Mimi HER MAJESTY AND HER THE ÉATEST FOR L TRAIT OF THE QUEEN.JE DIRECT DESCENDANTS IN THE MALE - LINE\u2014London \u2018Graphic.\u2019 the same ship with a passenger from BH erica registered as McDonald, ! | = T° His real name was O'Donnell; he was one of the \u2018Invincibles\u2019; he made Cai¥y\u2019s acquaintance on the trip to Capetown, and from Capetown took the same vessel to Natal.'

toi refuse to lease them to companies.* Boston, Mass., has started on a similar career with similar effect.There every man who bathes ab the beach- baths or takes his shower in the pale- ial wil-year baths, every boy who at- PP tends the municipal summer camp, end every woman whol enjoys a stroll in the extensive parks or attends a free city concert, has solid reason to support good government.While workmen, therefore, vote for Mayor Quincy, the richer / residents serve eagerly om the numerous .honorary commissions, which practically * supersede the out-of-date council.Job- bery and inefficiency are not the staple Fa an ab a \u2014- a A be subjects of city discussions.Honest and capable people are really in power, and all classes unite in supporting the exaru- TVR A like result may be obtained in other cities only by the adoption of a like method.\u201cNew times demand new measures and new men.\u2019 The measures and the men must go together in appeal to a mixed population.Reformers.who ask for the support of honeet and able men for the sake of their broad and .social \u2018measures obtain an appreciative response :from the democracy, bus.per honesty abd ability \u2018are: too.ious tp Bavamed for: greet Hula achievements are left to nuree oh tues in private.\u2014 Harper's Magazine,\u2019 2 _\u2014 x ._ i 3 A MILITARY DOG: a: One of the most popular characters on | the rock of Gib-ultar is no more.\u2018Smil- er,\u2019 for that was the name of the garni: son guard-roon dog, \u2018hroke hig leg so : badly through dipping on a rock.tht he a had to be shot to put him aut \u201cof his Fg agony.The little dog was at home in all the guard-rcoms on the \u2018rontier, and weuld sometimes patronize one, some- Es times another.Smiler was a great pet : beth with officers and men.He constituted himself an extra sentry, kept on sentry-go all through tha night, and could heat the field officer of the day approaching long before the human sentry could, He always atteñded guard-mount- ing parade, and there selected the guard that he would favor with his presence for the next tweaty-four hours.\u2014 London \u20ac \u2018Telegraph.\u2019 2 0 TRE DAILY WITNESS is printed and published at 7 4 B> \"the * Witnaes\u2018 Builäing, at the corner of Craig and .pL St.Peter streets, in the city of Montreal, by Jobo â z Redpath Dougall, of Montreal.All business communications should be addressed John D ugall & Son, *Witness\u2019 Office, Montreal, .snd a\u201d letters to the Fditor should be \u2018Rdituc ot the \u2018Witness,\u2019 Montreal.Sd pu ome oe ome © Pema av A "]
