words, and \u2018the Governor-General of Canadas,\u201d proposed by Sie Hançy, was accompanied with a message vf congratula- : tions from His Excellency, read by Sir Henry.Sir John Ross responded very briefly for the in whogs he bad seen qn the previous | hho and who had spoken of de with great interest.Sir Henry Tyler proposed \u2018\u2018The Governor of the State of Michigan,\u201d a toast heartily honored.He- said that \u201cthe Grand Trunk Railway ran through seven States of the Union, and while they entertained the most friendly feelings for all, still the State of Michigan owned one-half of the {funnel aod he trusted that their rels- tions would be éntirely harmonious.He.thanked them for their courteous treatment of the Grand Trunk and the friendly manner in which they had feted him ou the previous evening.Governor Winans\" réspouded \u201cafter the cheers bad spbsided, and gave a brief resume of the State of Michigan which, he eaid, he bad watched for the past fifty years.From a wild territory it had advanecd to the prond position of the ninth in the forty-four siatemin point of weslth snd population, and was undoubtedly destined to take à yet higher rank ere long.He \u2018hoped the tunnel now opened between Canada and his own State would be an harbinger of peace which would forever continue.He hoped the only weapon used between the two would be \u2018the steel of the railway road.\u201d He conclyded by proposing the toast, \u201cSuccess to the Grand Trunk Railway and St.Clair Tunnel Companies and Sir Henry Tyler,\u201d to which Sir Heory replied.Sir Henry Tyler, in the course of his response, said that the St, Clair Tunnel Railway, hardly three miles long, and costing about $2,500,000 was bo very gigantic operation, but looked very small as one means of communication between the 14,000 miles of railway in Canada, costing $800,000,000 and the 165,000 miles of railway in the United States costing $9,000,000,000.But it was the first example of a tunnel 20 feet in diameter, so constructed to carry a railway under a river on this continent or elsewhere, and ns such, it was likely to be followed in other localities.Sir # Hepry proceeded :\u2014*While I was considering these questions from time to time, Sir Joseph Hickson forward- od to us in London a survey of the river by Mr.Walter Shanley, and oo seeing it I at once realized that (he position of (Le present tunnel was one that could best be utilized.Firstly, there was clay on the bottom, anti on both siden of the river.Sccondly.the width and depth of the river were moderate.\u2018Thirdly, it wae the point where thie Sarnis branch of the Grand Trunk Railway and the Chicago and Grand Trunk came to opposite sides of the river.I remembered Mr.Peter Barlow's smaller tunnel under the Thames, constructed for £20,000 \u2014~through clay\u2014 34 years ago, and the same principle of the shield had Ugep employed in America, and was again being applied under the Thames or a vonnel ten feet in diameter.he GraudTrank board approved of te construction of a tunnel in this lo cality, and 1 suggested to Bir Joseph Hickson the employment of Mr, Hob.son as the engineer.\u201d Sir Hevry then went into a history of the tunnel difficuities, and told Low bard the work bad been, ending by roposing the health of Mr.Hobeou.applause with which lis toast Banvæt B, Assort, of Hianatesi, ir our agent for that Township, was received wade the rafters ring.LUE radbots.aX dll.kinda: BR AA Mr.Haolson modestly responded, and called upon Mr.Murphy, bis assistant, autho also said à few words.Thus far pleasure had been the rule, and now came Mr.Erastus Wiman, who was present representing the New York Chamber of Commerce, and who responded to the toast **Trade and Commerce.\u201d He culogized the United States in fervid style, apd talked of the opportunities for trade that the (wo copatries, Canada and the United States, would have if the barriers to commerce were lifted.Praising Cu- nadians, their soil and people, he de- élared the Dominion Government re- sponeible for the barrier between the two peoples.There was uncasiness upon Senater Frank Smith's face, Senator Vidal leaned esgerly forward, ay Le beard Canada being spoken of, and Mr.Duncan Mclutyre turned his chair half round.Major-General Ross looked surprised, aud Sir Henry Tyler was both amused and curious.Mr.Wiman continued {o say : \u2014 Is would appear as if the farmers of Canads were working for Sha, moneylenders of Great Dritstn \u2018And\u2019 perhaps it is right they should do sp, having assumed obligations of this character.But they should have access to the markets nearest (0 thera, even at the cost of discrimination against British manufactures, by the free admission of

\u201cMr.Wigan continued to say that President Harrison \u2018would learn that protection is justified only by inequality of conditions.While conditions Mire agus, Jobbing Peter to pay Paul is.none the less robbery, and the robbery is all the more glaring when it is realized thit tor eveis protecied pro- ducar there ape-fen -can¥hmncEs.The Hon.Gearge Ross responded in one of the best apeeohes af Lie dar, holding that it might fairly Le as sumed that the affinity of race and Jan, e which existed n he FOR Tete Sn cou mon religion, the natural aspirations and the freedom of their institutions would be a sufficient guarantee of perpetual peace snd amity ; bu} when lo these are addéd commercial bonds and commercial gonnections \u2018were made between the Far East and the Far West, so that it wag to the common interest of the two countries to live at peace, there was an additional guar- antec for years to come.Wo had expended $750,000,000 in railways.It was aot done as a holiday-making employment in order that we might be able to say that we had gecampliqued a great feat\u201d in eng eering ; Buf to his mind it meant the time had come when the good gense of the two great nations gn this coutjognt would ahgl- ish all yselesg fiscal restrictions and when they could see that they had a common property in the common products of the country.MR WIMAX REPLIED 70.+ There were speeches by Mr.Richard White, who disagreed with Mr.Wiman, but thought it neither the time nor the place to discuss with him ; by Senator Smith, who sneered at tail-twisters and palpitating politicians; hy Mayor McShane and Ald.Clendeniling, Gen.Harteyf, Hon.T.Tarsney, Gen.Poe, Mr.Canman of the Chicago Tribune, and ex-Mayor Beaugrand, wla referresl to tlie prowess of French voyageurs all over America prior (g other nations exploring it, When Mr.James Harper was asked to respond to \u2018the press,\u201d he said a few words as to the Grand Trunk's history, and turning to Mr.Wiman\u2019s remarks denied that the fate of Canada depended upon the State election in Ohio.*!I say the fate of Canada depends upou the election of no State in tbe Amorican union,\u201d be continued, \u2018but upon the integrity, honesty, courage and enterprise of ber own people, Mr.Wiman would have our customs officers awept from the borders ; but he would have strung along the Atlantic coast to shut oul the groat Empire from which we bave sprung.Sir, and gentlemen\u2014I am à Canadian; for Canada every (ime, but we shall never submit to the proposition to give away every thing to the United States and gel nothing back.(App use).I yield to no wan jo my friendliness for the United States and ber people ; but we Canadians havo our destiny in our own bands, and we shall work it out iu the manner in which we deem for our advantage, commensurate with good neighborly feeling.Mr.Wiman has no right to call a thirty ger cent.tariff robbery on our side of tho lines and ask us in the same breath to cast ourselves iuto the arms of those who have put their tariff up to sixty per cent (applause).\u2019 This incident caused! quite « hreege and Mr.Harper received warm çan- gratulations Canadians present

Quebec, re tbe Baie des Chaleurs scandal, and b bim transmitted, in conformity with tbe spirit of the Constitution, to the Governor-General, has been laid before Parliament, also in confurmity with the spirit of the Constitution.1t is thoroughly well established that one estat» in Parliament bas a right to call for any document in the possession of any other bearing upon à public matter.The letter of the Lieuten- ant-Governor itself, is one eminently in the public interest.It fully recognizes Mr.Mercier\u2019s position as chief advisor of the Crown, and shows where the province is being wade to suffer by the doings set out in the evidence taken before the commitiee of one of the houses of Parliament and regularly before His Honor in the official publications of Parlinmedt.\u2018The Licutenant-Goveraor\u2019s letien in brief points out : \u2014 1.That the mode of raisiog funds by letters of credit withont the sanction of the representative of the Crown is not recognized by law.: 2.That in the case of the Baie des Chaleurs railway company no order-in- council was ever passed authorizing the Provincial Treasurer to draw any sum from the treasury.8.That the system of thus drawing on the finances of the province by means of jetlers of credit Is prejudicial tô thé publio credit.4.That it appears that in paying $175,000 to Mr.Armstrong tbe, Government Las made a payment toa person to whom it owed nothing.5.That the sym of $100,000 paid to Pacaud has deprived by that amount a public enterprise of its subvention voted by the Legislature.6.That there exists between the Government and the creditors of the province n gate where tribute must be paid before doing justice to the slalmpots.wl 21 \u201cIt 13 not necessary to repeat \u2018what tor red to support these assumptions.Tt is sufficient to say that they are founded on testimony taken under oatli in connection with bill Feolariy introduced in Parliament.It is worth calling attention, however, to what His Honor says in regard to the injury done the public credit.When cheques of the proviuce of Quebec have to be secured by tho paper of private individuals before a bank will pay them the public credit of the provinge has suffered and is syfféring.Üudéy guch circumstances, the Lieutenant-Goyernor, an inle cal part of the Legislature, tbe chie of the exeoutive, whose prerogatives have been disregarded, to the public disadvantage, to the wrong of the (reasury nations as to how such things can be, and oalls for an investigation by a tribunal 80 cogstituted ds to be independ- gnt of \u2018political influence and capable \"of bringing to light sl} tiie facts can- nected with the apparent wrang doing.As this wrong-doing, vefloots upon the integrity of ministers, the Licutenant- Governor calls upon them, pending the result of an investigation under the authority of the province of Quebec, to limit their action to urgent acts of administration.As the wrong-doiog has been injurious to the public trea uiy, tbe Li riténant-Govetnor Teyokes the nomiuation of hig deputy for sigo- ing money warpantg,- and will hold thig pawel iy hig awn hands.This is a precaution fully justified Ly what His Honor

been 4 gart of Jekyll-Hyde combination, and no doubt were greatly admired by the economical farmer who there saw an opportunity of enjoying a necessary lurury withovt the expense hitherto attached ta the same.Mr.H.H.Hastings, according to our vonlemporary\u2019s report was to the front with a \u2018grade bull heifer.\u201d Mr.Hastings must also be studying economy in stock raising, and if he has succeeded in uniting the Lwo sexes in one and the same animal be has laid the foundation for a princely fortune.C.E.Baker of Dunham, appears to be a rival of Mr.H., however, as we netice tbat among

ROBERT ALLYN.Prinoipal of Southern Illinois Normal.The women of our land are wise, theoretical and shrewd practical teachers of the young.Aud whether they are conscious of it or not, they have, in the working plans of their temper.auce instructions, adopted the best maxim of ove of the best of Germany's excellent teacliers, when they have petitioned he legislatures of the several states to introduce into all the public schools, instructions in regard to the pernicious effects of using alcoholic and narcetic stimulants.Prussia began, under the illustrious Stein, as early ns 1806, immediately after the battle of Jena, to act upon Diesterweg\u2019s maxim : \u2018what you would have appear in the life of a nation you most put into her schools.\u201d Stein wanted patriot soldiers and he ordered the teaching of the love of country in every school in the land.Oar women want temperave and virtuous citizens, and they set about putting temperance and virtue into the public schools.May every good citizen help them, aud way the good Father of us all favor their goodly enterprise ! It is asked wlat are normal schools to advance this noble line of work?Something directly but more indirect- Ir, but, I fear not as much as such an agency ought to accomplish.First, however, most of the teachers in these schools are models of clean and tetu- perate habits.Both in principle and in practice they usually abstain from the use of alcohol, tobacco and opium.There are exceptions without doubt, but as large numbers of them are women, the instincts of the people who have dictated their employment, have secured good examples for the scholars who are in training for the future teachers of their children, and they tage.In our school, and I presume iu all, we aim to make plain, with emphasis aud repealed iteration, five or six points connected with the use of these i ver.use 4 ve sean- =, ane Poe fie try expla hquors and drugs.These come up in our lessons in physiology, pedagogy, ethics, physics, and psychology, and n one or another of these classes nearly all our students are embraced.In fact, so broad is the topic of temperance, that it touches nearly every thought or practice of the \"gchool- room, Quar pointy are these; First.\u2014Such liquors and drugs do affect the mind and moral nature of every one using them, so that he does not judge and act correctly in regard to right and wrong ; does not respect the rights or consult the conveniences of others or the proprieties of society, Hand is unable to decide what is duty dr obligation.A chid-cœu see \u201cthe farce of this by & very Noiited obser- vdtion, and learn to avoid the cause, Second.\u2014While there may be a temporary stimulant io the use of alcohol, and a sedative in the action of opium, yet in the end, and it is not distant, they do weaken the power of the man to endure, and blunt all the sensibilities of the soul.Here is a great danger.À very small gain and a doubtful one at tbat, is sure to bring à great loss.: Third-\u2014Their coustynt use is, ia social Jer TW make people irritable and selfish, unwilling to please others or to respect thejr rights.\u2018The most noourtaoys and disobliging people in the world are those who put themselves under the influence of such drugs.Let tbe children observe the rude drinkers, the smokera and the spitters, and avoid the use of overy- thing that leads to such ungeatle mau- crs.Fourth.\u2014Theee articles used even in moderation\u2014if that is possible\u2014 do produce à craving for gn inciease of tho quantity takei, till it is almost impossible to control the unnatural babit formed.They do make the user a slave to lis lower propensities and unfit hjm for the free exercise of his higher nature.: Fifth.\u2014These drugs act an the physical systom ag a poison and damage every part of the body.The digestive organs soon become diseased and fail to do their duty, the food taken is bardencd ia the stomach before it can be converted into chyle, and the gastric juice and the pepsin so essential to promote nutrition are diluted and weakened.All this can be shown by simple experiment and made an effective object lesson.Sixth.\u2014As a last, though not.the least, (he immense waste of money, time and energy are set forth.A bushel of corn uscd as food is worth forty cents; converted into whiskey itis a damage in every way.And yet the man who buys that whiskey pays for it about sixterm dollars, wasle unless it be when oplum or some otaer drug of that sort is used?In our school we seek ta make these points plain, and to eatoroe the moral, or duty side of the argument in every possible manner, so that they shall influence the conduct daily and produce the habit of, not simply abstinence, but of abhorrence of all kinds of intoxicants and narcotic stimulants and sedatives.Of course every one should be aware of the limitations under which we must work.The time of school is small, habits have been formed before scholars came to us, home influences are many times against us, and the teachings of the street aro absolutely fiendish, Tobacco is everywhere poisoning the air snd deceiving the very elect.So we must appeal to to the women at home and in society, and remember that the school cau only do a little to reinforce the power of the mother-element which is as ubiquitous as le the diabolic, and hope without discouragement, and work with patience, trusting in God and living purely, 0 as 10 wake both precept and example tell in life, in prayer and in loving, .self-forget- ting devotion to the right.\u2014[Union evidently intend to hold this advan- Can anybody point out such eusemous | M.Carnot\u2019s Strength.THR PRESIDENT OF FRANCE STEADILY GAINS IX POPULARITY.{Cor.N.Y.Tims] * Side by side of this exhibition of what is most pitiable in the possibilities of the Parisian Character (the Wagner riots), the avtumn bas furnished ns with a nomber of admirable speeches by M.Carnot aud M.de Freycinet, to which more serious French journals point with justifiable pride as models of dignified and Pacific patriotiem.From the outset of bis presidential term M.Carnot has been uniformily lucky.He has made_no single false step yet, and has known how coatinually to foster his hold ou French imagination not less than on ils respect.He bas at last become so strong that tbe weight of his personality would avail to sccure even & less iu- telligent and capable ministry than the p:esent one from overthrow by Parliamentary caprice ; bat the Ministry itself is popular.You lear everywhere in Frauce the conviction that this is the Ministry under which France will enter and wage her next war, weaning not that it will provoke or hasten a conflict, but that France at last is satisfied that it could not be in better hands.The rock nf the clerical question upon which eo many preceding cabinets have foundered, has been apparently blasted out of the channel.Everywhere during M.Curpot\u2019s progress bishops and prelates have been coming to meet him, giving him cordial adhesion in the republic.Curiously enough, the same phenomenon is noticeable on the other - side of the frontier, where Gen.von Caprivi has established the most perfect relations with the Catholic Party, and couuts confidently on its parlinmentary support.Thus the world is afforded another illustration of what tolerance can effect.It was persecution which made Rome 8 danger to the state in Germany and France alike, but now that Bismark and M.Ferry are out of power, and wiser etatesmen have tried intelligent conciliation, Rome itself ceases to be a power for imischief, and ia both countries even bishops feel that they are patriots first and Catholics afterward.eR Tho Laufen Riectric Wiro.The Electrical exhibition at Frankfort was remarkable for the fact that all the power required to drive the various electrical machines is transmitted from the Falls of the Neckar at Lau- fen along a single wire.Seeing the great sirength of the current which is required, it may he conjectured that ta touch, the wire would be about as gafe as to catch a bullet, and the authorities are tn-some perturbation about the danger.The wire runs along the roadside, and the most cner- gotio precautions bave been taken to prevent accidents.On every telegraph pole which carries the fatal wire notices are placed with thie words ¢\u2018Do not touch,\u201d aud in order to arrest the attention of the most careless, tle no- tice-boards themselves are in the farm of a death's head.Warninga bave bee isgned (brough the couatry-side against the danger of even approaching too near to the poles, and all school masters

most ignorant is sufficiently impressed with the visible power of a locomotive engine or a big gun lo stand out of the way, but it seems almost impossible to conviuce pcoyle that along a single wire is travelling a force infinitely greater quan either the engine or the gun can exert.Yet, righily rau- sidered, few things can he wore im- pr ssive than this Laufen wire.Along it passes for miles a

success of the experiment is of great interest.all the power that now goes to waste would drive all the electrical machines something incongruous in the idea of bottling Niagara in accumulators,

Stanwood road, about six miles from Arlington.A parly of nine went down from that place lately ta satisfy themselves of tho truth of what by them was regarded as exaggerated reporis of its size.The measurement taken shows it to be 68 feet, nearly 23 feet in diameter.If weas ured around the roots and knotty pro- taberances tho tree would likely measure 99 fect.The measurement was 2a close to the body of the tree as the line could be drawn.About 74 feet from the ground the tree forks into four immense branches.Just below the forks is a big knothole, and five of tlie party\u2014Jack Howard, J.F.Shannon, A.Eogberg, Ralph Morris, and Harry Paterson\u2014climbed up and wade an exploration of the inside of the tree, which is a mere shell, thoagh still green.They wont down some 45 feet ia the tree, and claim that there is standing room for at least 4Q men there.À peculiar feature they tioad was that the tree is barked op ihe inside the same aa on ihe outside.Ô It opens up the prospect of

Opposition leadors in the Senate yesterday with reference to the deplorable gcan- dal branght home to the Mercier Government must tend to seriously compromise the whole paity in the eyes of the countrs.When the adoption of the report of the committee which heard the evidence in the casg of the Bale des Chaleur railway steal was moved in the Senate, the Grit Senators in a body voted against its adoption, and thus squarely put themselves on record as opposed to the investigation and condemnation of this unparalleled piece of boodling.They did not deign to explain why the ra- port was objected to, and it is therefore fair to infor that the crime is not ove they consider necessary to con- derou snd repudiate either in the interests of public moralty or their own party.The Scnators\u2019 action in the first official declaration of the Opposition on this scandal, and it is most unfortunate thal the representatives of apy party in this country should go on record as objecting in any way to the exposure and disapproval of a crime 8c grave and so clearly proven as the stealing of public money by Quebec Ministers and their agents.The men who have taken this stand are responsible men in the Opposition.Senator Scott is the Opposition leader in\u2019 the Senate, and an old member of the Mackenzie Government.Senator Pelletier is likewise an ex-Cubiuet Minister and the leadec of the French Senators.It is quite evident that the Opposition leaders in the Upper House arc determined to stick to Count Mercier, and are not going to be mealy-mouthed about it either.\u2014 [Empire.- Clear Brain did it.Thie ie pre-eminently an age of invention.That statement is as trite as it is true.The evidences of it are on every hand.Ambition prompls invention.The desire for large and sudden gain stimalates it.Philanthropy will use the finished invention for purposes of amelioration, but the thought of the man who sets out to put an idea into the concrete is not usually ethical.He «nes not necessarily say to himself \u2018this will uplift buomanity.\u201d What he chiefly thinks is, \u2018\u2018this will supply a need.There is room for it.People want it,

ordinary waterproof.But there is danger, there is unhealthiness, there is the confinement of the per- aspiration, which lingers in the under garments.Sometimes it is the predisposing cause of serious ill-heaith.The Melissa process is a discovery, not stambled on fortaitously, but realized after long and painful experimentation.It can be applied to any kind of a covering that is used as a protection against rain or snow.When the oloth is manaractured it is proofed with ¢Melissa,\u201d and thus rendered rain-proof; but it is still tweed or worsted cloth.It has not been discolored.No odor whatever has been imparted to it.The natural porosity of the cloth has not been in the slightest impaired, and this is one of its prime merits.From what we have seen of the effects of the Melissa process it can safely be predicted that ite benefits will be greatly appreciated by the general public.\u2014 [Toronto Daily Mail.\u201cI want a drink\u201d means ove thing in the country and

represented by seven hundred men, women and children of that Bavarian village, of the experiences and scenes of the last (passion or suffering) week of Jesus\u2019 life.Its origin is lost in the obscarity of the middle ages.In accordance with a vow then registered, since the year 1633, .the play bas been given every ten years.1% is looked upon and engaged in by these gifted I'vrolese people as a solemn religious service, and indeed, taken all in all, it is the grandest religious event in tue whole world.Up to the year 1850, the Passion Play had hardly any fame outside Bavaria.Last year between one and two hundred thousand people came to this hamlet, far away noder the shadow of the majestic Bavarian Alps, from all parts of Christendom.Atite next l'epsesentation jn 1900, the .number of visitors will probably reach a round million.So wonderful is the presentation given this \u201cDivine Drama of the centuries\u2019 that it has become the topic of tlie world\u2019s conversation, and thus to Oberammergau and its Play all who possibly can will thon turn their eager steps.Lut it is an unspeakable boon that the faithful work of the artist, the skill of the mecban- ician and (Le living word of the orator can so pearly reproduce this marvel for those who cannot visit Oberam- mergau in person.Those who attend Mr.Lewis\u2019 lecture will get as perfect a congeption of the route to this lovely village, of the surroundings, amidst which and of the characters by whom the Drama is given, and of the Drama itself, as can posiibly be obtained without a personal visit to the spol.To hear this lecture and to eee Lhe matchless views is an event no mau, woman or child can afford to miss.\u2014__- Blown From a Sleeper.All the berths of sleeping cars attached to a Santa Fe route train that reached Chicago were full when the train left Los Angeles.One of the seetions was taken by Mrs.Kling of Chico, Cal., who, with Ler three children, was on ler way to Germany.Another berth was occupied by a gentleman, who tells what happened on the trip.Thursday night, be says, just beforc Kansas City was reached, ÿ.and while the porter was making the beds, necessitating some confusion in a crowded car, Mrs.Kling missed one of ber children, a little gic! foar years old.The mother went up and duwn the car in search of her little tot, and pot finding her increased ber pace to a run.She peered hither and thither and into every berth, asking the pas- sangers if they had seen anything of the littls one.The conductor was prevailed upoa to stop the train and a careful search was instituted.The child was nowhere to be found.The mother was almost distracted.Her piteous cries rescunded throughout the sleeper and she 1mplored the cou- ductor to \u201c*back\u2019 the train in

track for three miles, when a freight train was met, the engineer of which said be would have seen a child if it had been on or near the track.Thiaking the search usless owing te the darkness of the night, the trainmen returned to the watering-station.At her own requést the conductor left Brs.Kling and ber two children there on the bleak prairie, in care of the men who had charge of the water tank.Then the train rolled away.AH the passengers were sorrowful, and many of the women were in tears.\u201cThe afflicted mother counted the seconds until the first streak of dawn appeared.Then the search was resumed.When the conductor went through the train early the next morning, showing a telegram that the child had been recovered safe and sound, big lamps arose in the throats of the men, and the women put handkerchiefs to their eyes.The liitle tot was found about four miles from the watering station.In the changing of places by the passengers, at the time of making the beds, the child was
