\u20141 have had a long experience of servants in fugiand, Ireland, New York and Cauuua I think toe present troubles urs caused not by the unt, thrirtess gitls, but by the disrespectiul ones.À lady may teach the former, and, faillis to Hnprove her, may, atter one or two changes, tind à good worker, but she will tind it a bard matter to secure a thoroughly respectful yarl, In Europe the Line of demarcation is well drawn, The servant is obliged, under pain of dismissil, to be deteren- tinl towards her employers, even when the latter are persons who have risen I fron the ranks and wade their money by their owu industry.There can be no doubt servanis are happier and more contented there, aithongh in this country they have higher wages, mors conveniences, and often less work.In Europe # great many servants spend their whole lives in one family, WhicL 18 the best proof of their contentment, In this country I have xnown ladies of the greatest gentleness and amiability afraid to speak to soe of their servants lest they should receive a surly answer or be tortured by their coarse familiarity.Servantsshould bear in mind that there is nodegradation in being respectful and obedient.After ali, they should not take their mistresses\u2019 money uniess they intend to do their mistresses\u2019 work and do it cheertully.Jf tou much is required of them they mtst say so

rebelled and cried \u2018I wul not serve.\u201d ; lL.T.C.Personally Interest the Servants.Jo the Editor of the STAR: SIR, \u2014It seems te vour correspondent that one of the causes or the veiled antagonism existing between mistress and servant lies in the fact of the former expecting a personal allegiance from the latter.Suck a condition of things could only exist under exceptional circumstances, The relations between thie two should resemble that of employer and carpenter or mechanic; specified labor compieted, the time should be the servant's own.The increased deinand tor high wages should not be visited upon the laboring class a3 \u201ca grievance,\u201d but accepted as the inevitable result of increasing population.We expect too much from \u201craw recruits.\u201d istresses, themselves incompetent to teach them their duties.lookfor perfect servicewithout reflecting that the majonty of poor girls come to us fresh from tarm and field entirely unused to au life.The only remedy for this evil lies in a training-school for domestics, \u2018and a standard in every well ordered home to which the mistress herself would live up and be willing to instruct her servants where the training school left off.A bright, sunny room (pot the dreariest corner in the house) should be allotted them, As many d ag good kitchen utensils as one\u2019s feds permit should bp at their disposal at least a shot of confidence reposed on them.Possibly by thus appealing to their sense of selt- respect (and no one worth speaking of is without it)ono may arouse a feelin of personal Interest in their surroun .OF \u201coonrep.distined under.Ee a i tors\u201d must - sta \\ viai .| fot fi tted; : a is ve lo | | done jobto another, of some Friends.Who neods [he warm api jhe

natures should be observed.There should be laws regarding forfeiture of wages, etc., eto, and last and most important of all, no servant should be engaged Without a reference.Nor should they he dis missed without having been given one most concientiously.An observance of those rules with a good * stock in hand\u201d of forbearance on one side, with the reflection that we are all workers of some kind in this bright world of ours, and must bear one another's burdens, may go tar towards leading us to a state of material respect and esteem heretofore little ** dreamed of in our philosophy.\" UPA.Try the Apartment System, To the Editor of the STAR: SIR,\u2014 À great deal has been written of lute on\u2019 tue servant question.In those letters which have appeared on the subject, the mistresses blame the servants, aud in return the servants retaliate in no measured terms, 8o \u2019tis no wouder that \u2018the gulf is growing wider.\u201d Neither party touch upon the root of the evil, which is simply one of supply and demand.So many ways of muining a livelihood are constantly being opened to girly in this growing city, that a scarcity of domestics is the result.Larger gains, evenings at their own disposal, the whole Sunday to themselves are tempting inducements to exchange household service for a life of greater freedom, I shall not add, of greater respectability.Formerly, twice out on Sundays, with one evening during the week, to visit friends, satisfied them.Now, 'tis out every evening or the kitchen filled with acquaintances, 8 scarcity always commands higher remuneration, to thelr demands for larger wages no reasonable objection can be nade, provided they perform their work in a conscientious, satisfac tery manner; but according to the views of the majority this appears to be quite a secondary consideration, or rather no consideration at all, \u2018The present scarcity of female help has swelled the ranks of those seeking service with a large number of untrained incapables.1 doubt not thers are many excel.ent servants to be had, their services command such high wages that only the wealthier class of people can afford to eroploy them.I'hiuse whose means adit having but one general servant are the greatest sutlerers, To teach an ignorant girl to pertorm household work in à proper way involves much trouble and our experience has been that so soun as such 4 one acquires soe knowledge of culinary matters she either demands higher wares or leaves to look fur another place Where she will obtain them.Badly cooked tood is a frequent cause of indi- gesLion and other forms of sickness, and the mistress of a house with à young family to attend to cannot spend so iwuch thue iu the Kitchen as would be diecessary to insure wholesome, well prepared meals.Only two ways of rewedying this state of daily worry and discomfort present thewmselves\u2014either to dispeuse altogether with domestic help, Whichin many large households is Impossible, or to follow the example of our praclical neighbors and try the apartment system.House wives in the States have exverlenced the same trials 1 domestic affairs as now beset us.The Aiuericans are a prompt, energetic people, quick to tind a remedy and to apply it.They have tried the apartment sys tem and it has proved a success.Let us follow their example.Then we might be able, in accordance with our means to obtain a suite of apartments suited to the requirement of large or small families.One urst-class wan cook, with three or four assistants, could perform the work that a hundred incompetent girl cooks cannot accomplish for as many families in a satisfactory manner, ne huge furnace would heat as many dwellings as at present require a hundred sLoves to make comfortable, Some time ago a most able lecture was delivered on this subjeet in the rooms of the Natural History Society.Many heads of fam- ilivs were there\u2014mamy wearied, overworked housekeepers and mothers whose eyes brightened with hope as they listened to the lecturer's graphic description of a home so restful and so free from housekeeping cares.The fondly imagined that for them a cloud- legs day was about to dawn, In fanc they beheld a stately building sarround- ed by verdant iawn and shady trees\u2014 a home where there would be no rebelhous cooks\u2014no long flights of stairs to climb so often day after day, with wearied feet and aching limbs, but that lovely vision has faded away into the dim perspective.We hear of it no ore, We trust, nevertheless, that some of our wealthy and enterprising citizens may see their way to erecting such a dwelling place\u2014one that will prove a eaceful haven of rest to wearied house- ieepers, and at the same time a profitable investment for themselves.Great things are now accomplished by companies and co-operative societies.Com- panics convey us by sea and land around the world, and they transport us from\u2019 one end of the city to the other.They Lu.ld houses for us, they keep hotels for our accommodation.They convey mes- saucs for us.They call a cab for us.Yes! Montreal has many companies that minister to our wants.One \u20acom- any more is urgently needed, The lontreal Joint Stock APARTMENT.A Pattern Mistress, To the Fditor of the STAR: S1k,\u2014I am the general and only servant in a family and being happy in my place while so many around me are unhappy, il want to otfer a word of what 1 consider explanation of the fact.My mistress is a thorough housekeeper herself and has in consequence animated we to be the same.She is thus able to appreciate good work and to intelligently ceriticize bad.She knows the ditticulties in the Way of always doing things right and when circumstances are against you can excuse.She is kind 10 me and remembers that I, like herself, am human.Her conduct makes me contented in wy work if not with it.She teachos me that all labor js honer- able and that the spirit in which we do it is the practical phase and demonstration of our religion.Queen in her parlors she is prime minister in her kitchen and her advice is always timely, Am I sick, for even servants get sick you know, she shows her interest in me not by patronizing enquiry nor solicitude for her own ease as much as by little deeds of relief which only make me more than ever her willing servant.My mistress has, moreover, been my teacher.Preferring to lend assistance rather than have work balf done, she has taught me many useful lessons and made my service more valuable to herself, and that without entailing any undue care on herself.Kindly condemning me and sometimes severe! when wrong, she recognizes my intelligence thus, better than by swearing at me with a slam of the door.She seems to realize that human nature is about the same in the kitchen as in the parlor, = vuality she would have me servant.She always tells me the truth aad never asks me to tell a lie for her at the door.She has taught me in many ways to make my spare moments valuable to myself and frequently lends me sugges.tions as tothe saving or the expend ure of mv money.Methodioal herself she | care he de Indigni m the children -who aretaught to \u2018me as sa member © household \u2018rat\u2019 and desires to be a mistress of the same |.stances, the mistress doss not provide tracts mo by hurrying de ne Y Friendly whatut ;

in fact the day work for women is almost endless, and employs such a vast number that there are few left for domestic service, Added to all this îs the strong objection many have to service on account of the little restrictions or uncertainties with regard to hours, which cannot possibly be avoided, no matter how much a mistress may try to doso.Now such being the case, is it any wonder mistresses are sometimes put to sore straits to get their household work done ?They are frequently blamed fur the present state of things, and I think very unfairly ; for, let us always bear in mind that there are in Montreal two very distinct classes of girls in service.One (and I believe by far the largest) we never hear of, because they are too highly prized by their employers ever to seek a change of situation.\u2018Lhe other class is quite different.I do not think there are as mauy of them as one would suppose, but as they continua.ly wander about from place to place, giving trouble wherever they go, one gots the impression that they are numerous, while in reality it is only the old proverb of the \u201cempty kettle making most noise.\u201d As a solutigu of the difficulty I would advise a number of ladies appointin someone, (a MR C.priest I think would be best) to enfer into correspondence with his brother clergy in the more distant country parishes, and thus bring ip a fresh supply of girls, Let them be assured of places so soon as they come to the city, and 1 think many would respond to Lhe call.At any rate is not my plan worth trying?It is a very formidable thing for a girl to come alone to Lhe cipy in search of work, but if she comes to a certainty, comes in company-with her girl friends, and with the approval of her priest, all danger vanishes, and the new venture would be looked upon quite differently, M.8.B.A Mistress\u2019's Woes.To the Edilo?of the STAR: SIR,\u2014Tbhe servant question has reached a rather serious climax, and if something is not done very soon the prospect for the future is not by any means too bright or encouraging, However, such has not always been the case, although people were quite as well able to koep servants as we are to-day, and kept them too.Still we should not be surprised at the present trouble, for many evils bave their beginning in our day, and gradually develop as time wears on, but there must be a cause.Let us first look at the cause and then perhaps we may find the remedy.In the first place girls are too independent, and this leads to a certain amount of carelessness to be faithful.Many of them come from the country where they have good comfortable homes, perhaps in some cases as good as their employer, then of course they find it bard to comply with their new mistress although perhaps they know but little about work, and when the fail dont like to be enlightened too well.2nd.The hours of the servant are necessarily quite long, as such cannot very well be avoided, and too many factories are open to them where their time is their own after six o'clock.The wages perhaps are just as good, and every person need not know they are only factory girls, as they dress as well aa their salary will allow, and of course this employment is preferable to so many, as servants are so despised or looked down on by so many simply because so many are a disgrace to themselves and all be ong.ing to them, and as a conseguence all suffer for it.Then there &re other places which e; many serve in stores, etc, who would spurn the name of \u201cservant.\u201d This tory business, offices etc, rid us of the best of our girls, and as long as such exist we may expect the present trouble to increase, for the best class will not become servants, Then, again, too much attentioh is given to trivial matters by young girlainstead of learning, housek coping, They are mot foreed to take a part when young in household duties, Every young girl should be taught to do he work required to be done in, a buse, as the tables s0 often turn by wifich the rich become poor, and then hdw often are you placed without a se t who can attend to all the work, and how will you know whether she does right or not if you don\u2019t know yourself, Just fancy a servant comes to you, asRs to see the Kitchen, her bedroom and\u2018\u201cmany other like questions, and in,ths:morning ou sitting down to brea b Fou find the coffee tasteless, steak burnt, and in short every thing tosNow you what a profitable servant you have secured.en ghe can\u2019t do sy ing without you are at her heels, Yoh might just as well do it yourself ands the porry and expense of having her at all if sus is possible, but all ladies should know how.PRUDENT.Supply and Demasd, To the Editor of the STAR: \u201c Srr,\u2014I think the laws of supply and demand govern this as other similar questions, There are not enough servants in the oity, therefore they are masters of the situation, and can choose their places.They prefer a central locality.At present it is very difficult for-those living outside a radius of half mile from the Queen\u2019s Block to get a servant unless they keep more than one, Servants prefer houses where several are kept, because, in many in- any amusement, neither is she willing to have her servant out much or have company at home.ost mistresses re- qui servants to be at home by ten o'clock in the evening\u2014this is why the latter JSrefer central localities\u2014there 1s us A ;

Or we might bave military garrison games, either in the Drill Jiall, li banded over before spring, it not on St.Helen's Isiand.The above lew hints are offered with only one ol ject In view, viz, to biing the various branches ot the city force tuxeiber to have an interchange ot opinions on military matters, and In order that we may all learn sviuathing that will be of interest to us individually and to the force generally.Tue lectures might be delivered in the Victoria Armory, an admission fee might be charged to oflicers only to cover rental and tus add a tnifle to the Armory fund of the Vics.Yours very respectfully, I.ATKINSON, Wanted\u2014Evening Educational Classes, To the Kditor of the STAR: S1R,\u2014The present season is the most ap- priate to begin evening classes, but the sohool boards In the larger towns are not gouerally alive to the necessity for such a provision, and country bourus show still greater apainy with regard to the education of the youth in their districts.Tobere are very few towns, villages, or even rural districts, where there are not a very considerable number of young wen and girls, between the azes of 12 and 21, who would be : immensely benefited by a winters course of attondance at a night school, und who are willing and even anxious to avail themselves of an vpportubity to attend.It is well known that many children leave our ublis schools at an early age, and it Is a act that in a few years many of theses, who go to employment where they have no opportunity of learning, forget most of what little knowledge they had acquired.I'he Enxlish and Heotch education acts very wisely provide pot only for the teaching In the evening schools of \u201cthe three K's,\u201d but also of all the ordluary cless and specitic subjects, and offer grants for passes in these, I do not tnink there is the slightest doubt, if such schools were established throughout the province and encouraged by tue Pro- vinelal Government, but that the public would heartily support the project.The teaching of the technical subjects is in part provided for by tae Couneil of Arts and Manufaotures, but so far as am aware there is no provision made for instruction in other branches, Yours, ete, CANADA, A, RAILROAD TIME TABLE.Bonaventure Depot.GRAND TRUNK RAILROAD, * Toronto, Chi and all points West Leave 8.55 a.m., 8.85 an | Arrive ai, SD 5 11.30 pan Toronto (Local).Leave | Arrive £10 pm.Ottawa.Leave 8.50 Am.430 p.m.[Arrive 11.30 am, 820 pin Brockville (Miscellaneous).Leave 1.30 p.m, | Arrive 6.15 p.m.Cornwall (Local Leavs 8 p.m.Arrive Dam.Quebec and Richmond.l\u2019ortiand and Sherbrooke, Laave 810 am.10.15 p.m.| Arrive 6 a.m.8.18 p.m.7 {sland Pond, -herbrooke and Richivond.Leave6.45a.m.,3.15p.m.| Arrive 11.55 am.638 p.m Leave 5.20 p.m.St.Johns, Leave (Bat.only) 1.30p.m.| Arrive 3p.m.Fort Covington and Hemmingford.Leave 5.20 p.m.4.10 pun.[Arrive 8.50 s.m., 5.50 p.m, Borel, M, & 8, R.R.| Arrive 8.55 am.SUBURBAN.and Loaguent.[A Sam tle oly), 74 p.m.l'Atéive 6.36, 7.38,8 43, 9.ve 6.38, 7.18, 8.1.18 w.m., 1.00, 2.45, Fes 53, 7.05, 8.00, 9.48 p.m.- Leave 5.20 pm 05 o fxn mbert Leave , 8.an.12.10 E230 sÉitrans only 8.30, 6.25 pan.Lag!

.y {wnerzanf FoB eus STAR.- I had just arrived in New York In the mor and, after attending to business, having four hours to spare before taking the @80 train for Montreal, I decided to walk down Broadway to enjoy at leisure the bustle and incidents of New York\u2019life, It was a very fine day and the strest was prowded.I was Just opposite the Oity Hall when a gentleman came tb me with a familiar : \u201cHow do vou do?\u201cVery well, thank you, but I do not remember you at all.\u201cAre you not Mr.Johnston, of Syracuse ?- \u201cNo, I am Mr.X \u2014, pf Montreal.\u201cI beg vour pardon; it was my mistake.1 took you for Mr, Johnston.And I resumed my walk down Broadway intending to go as far as the battery.I had completely forgotten this incident when I was met by a smiling entleman, whose features seeme amiliar to me, ahd who, on seeing me, exclaimed : \u201cWhat brings you down here, Mr.X \u2014 all the way from Montreal.\u201cI have just arrived this morning on business and am leaving by the evening train for home, buy, I beg your pardon, I do not think I have the pleasure of knowing you.\u201cWhy, my name is Smithers.Tam the nephew of Mr.smithers, the President of the Bank of Montreal, and have seen you Lhere often.\u201cIndeed ?How is business in New York.\u201cVery dull, but I cannot complain.I have started a cloth factory at I'hila- delphia two years ago and my goods are selling very readily.I have come to New York to see my customers, and 1 would be glad to show you these sam- les, \u201cBut I am not in the trade, you know.\u201c1 understand that.I simply wish to show Jou the samples so that I could refer you, in ontreal, in case I should extend my business in Canada.The samples are close by, and IF YOU WOULD BE KIND ENOUGH TO DRIVE WITH ME there and call, at the same times, at a scalp ticket office, where 1 wish to purchase tickets for my travelling agents, 1 would feel very much obliged.We could then have a walk afterwards in Broadway.*Really, I do not feel disposed for a drive, as\u2019 wish to walk down as far as the battery.You can go to that ticket oftice and find me on the street when you come back, \u201cOn this crowded thoroughfare I can never find you again, and 1 would like so much to have a talk with vou about our Montreal friends.Do oblige me by driving down to see those samples.We will be back in a few minutes, \u201cWell, since you insist, I will drive down to oblige you.+ And we crossed the street to a cab stand where we took a cabby, my friend Smithers giving the address, which 1 did not understand.On the road, business matters were discussed and we soon alighted in a back street, in front of a two-story brick house, with brown door, presenting a rather modest appearance.Smithers stepped out and I proposed to wait for his return from the scalp ticket oflice.But, leaving the door wide open, he invited me to come in and see the cloth samples.It struck me that it was not much of à place for a prosperous Philadelphia cloth manufacturer to keep his samples, still I went in for a few minutes, We entered a room, with a centre table, half a dozen chairs, a desk, a few sample valises and a large number of railway and steam- beat posters lying about the place or affixed to the walls.A stout fellow was reading the morning papers and actin as clerk, To Smithers\u2019 enquiry abou the scalp ticket broker, he answered that be was out just then, but would soon return.Meanwhidp we seated ourselves around the centre table, and Smithers began to show me the tweed samples, which he produced from one of the small valises which were in the room.THESE I DID NOT FIND VERY REMARKABLE, and was looking them over for a few niinutes when a tall, burly, cow-bo looking customer cams in with a travel ling bag.\u201cIs this the place where I can get a scalp ticket cheap for Texas?I was told down town, by the boys, that I could get a bargain just here, and that is what I am after.\u2019 \u201cWait a minute,\u201d answered the clerk, \u201cthe agent is out, but will be back just now.\u201d \u201cBut I can't wait.1am in a dreadful hurry, and I want to see this ticket man right off.\u201d .\u201cWell, 1 know where he is and I will go for him.Just wait a minute.\u2019 Then the cowboy took a seat, stretched bis legs, and remarked, in iho characteristic twang, that Naw York was a great city, that business Was good, that he had just arrived with several cars ot Texas cattle from the ranch, had made 8 pile of mouey and was anxious to get home before he had spent it all, for he was getting away with it mighty last in this wicked city.\u201cThe fellow where I was stopping down town, just cleaned me out of five hundred dollars.But he is a good sort of a fellow and he shewed me how he did it.As soon as [ et on the ranch won't I clean out the 8 there and get my money hack.\u2018How did he do it, said Smithers ?It is the simplest thing in the world when you know it, said the cowboy, ng out of his pockets a 4 card monte and laying them on the table in an awkward manner, Now, my dear fellow, sald Smithers, in an imploring tone, jeve me, you just tear these cards and keep your money.You are sure to lose every cent of it, if you keep on.There are a lot of fellows in New York, who will take advantage of you and swindle you of every dollar you have got.\u2018Not a bit of it.1am amatch for them now, and I have plenty of the toad skins left, pulling out a large package of reenbacks.Now I will bet you a five undred that you cannot point out this ace of hearts after I have placed it on table betore you.\u201d \"Me do not want torob you of your money, BAID I, COMING TO SMITHERS\u2019 RESCUE.\u201d \u201cOf course not, Said Smithers, the gentleman and inysèlf do not approve of this sort of thing and will bave nothin to do with you.You just put tha money in your pocket aud do not expose it as you are doing now, for you may depend upon it, my dear fel low, you will soon get relieved.\u201d «f don\u2019t mind the money and if you won't bet I will give yeu five hundred it you can point out that ace of hearts.Taking the ace and turning to me confilentially, Smithers said: \u2018\u2018\\Ve must give that-fellow a lesson\u2019 and lie showed ne an imperceptibie twist which he gave the-corner of the ace of hearts, unnoticed by the cowboy, who was bragging Away about what he wonld do.\u201d \u2018Then Smithers, returning the card with a tone of extreme benevolence, told the cowboy what dreadful things would happen to him if he kept on his evil course.could rob you of all you have got if \u201c 1 had a mind to, Indicating that sce is the oaslest thing in the mac * GE ._ \u201cBut'yoi ean\u2019t do it.\u201d dth at bu th 1

the'ace of arts, remarking that he was Mioky to deal with us, for he would ind » great many people in New York'who would ralieve him of his toad skins protty fast.,\u2018\u2018Lsee how it is, replied the cowboy.You would not bet because you fellows bad no money to cover, = \u201cNo money?sald Smithers,\u201d progucin his pocket book, und taking a handful o bills.What do you call that?And the gentleman has just us much,\u201d Lurning to mg, Smithers told me confidentially to Flew Lim I had money enough to cover him.1 did so, when Smithers taking the bills from my hand shewed them to the cowboy, aud in eloquent tones, told him how wrong he was to make such an assertion, that we were moved by the most Lenevolent sentiments towards him, and that he could have no doubt now that we did not want to swindle bim of Lis well earned mousy.: 1 WAS JUST ABOUT TO TAKE MY BILLS BACK, clerk came in.money and cards on Lhe table, Le few in a most violent passion.Accused us of making a gambling hell of his office, would call the police and have us arrested.Smithers and the cowboy protested their innocence in loud tones and, while the mdiguant clerk was shaking me by the coat collar, edged their way out of the office in pretty quick tune, leaving me to explain the position.Although the whole scheme had been splendidly planned and every part of 1 well played, when | saw my $250, consisting of two $100and one $50 bill, leave the office in the hands of Smithers, 1 realized that I was in a den of thieves, and the bust I could expect wus to get out unmo lested.Nothing could have been easier than to have knocked we down with one of those sand bags I had beard so much about, and, while senssless, 10 have disposed of me, Withoul any of my friends, In Canada, ever knowingz how I bad disappeared.fter a while the clerk accepted my explanation and let me go.1ieft and my first impression was to find Sinithers in the street.Just as Il came out, a tuil gentleman asked me if I wads looking for a party who had just come out of tho use.I answered \u201c yep\u2019 Ifyou will follow me I will show y0u where he is.1 followed some hund¥ed yards, when, not seeing Smithers, it struck me this fellow was ote of the gang and {trying to get me away from the spot.I dropped him and returned, so as to identify the house and have the police to rcarch the premises, 1 had passed the house a few doors by mistake and was returning when, to my delight, I saw half a dozen fellows filling out of the door, the last of whom was MY FRIEND SMITHERS HIMSELF.llere was my chance to get my mone back, or at least to get Lim arrested if could reach him.8 long as duplicitv and swindling had been the game, of course he had had the best of it, and I could not help laughing at my simplicity in hav bad so much wool pulled over my of But now it was a trial of muscle, speed and combativeness, and I was determined that Canada should not be left in the race.Tue stakes were high enough, and the desire to get even Was strong enough to impel ne Lo great efforts \u2018 I started accordingly at a break neck speed, which at ofice attracted my {riend Smithers\u2019 attention, and off he went like an arrow, The way the people rgattered and stared at this go-as-you-please race through the crowded street of New York, was a caution.\u2018Stop thief! stop thief]! would I hallo as we were turning right and lert.But nobody appeared anxious to interfere with Smithers\u2019 progress.1 was steadily gaining ground when on.the opposite foot Jah a third champion, à tall long legged fellow joined in the ruce keeping on the other side of the street.When he came abreast with Smithers who was row breaking down fast, he crossed and collared him roughly.1 was soon there, sccused Smithers of having robbed \u2018me of $250 and insisted on ng to the police station to have him committed.\u201cAll right, I am a detective und I will bring him there, you just follow me and you will explain Lo the obief officer.\u201d \u2018Search me if you like, scald my friend Smithers, I have not got the money.\u201d \u201cI do not care, I will have you committed and convicted if you dot give me my money back; I will explain before The oflicer.\u201d The detective handcuffed his prisoner to his own wrist, and off we went to the station.A SMALL CROWD FAD ASSEMBLED and was following us.It was alon distance and it struck me that this would-be detective was perhaps another of the gang of swindlers ho was playing his part to give Smithers a chance to get off in some remote district, The detective saw my suspicion when I wanted a regular policeman to take charge of the prisoner, and shewed me bis badge affirming he was all right, Then he asked me if I would let the prisoner go provided he gave me back my :noney, answered that }had no time to lose in New York, that I wanted to get bome and that 1f he returned the $250, not a cent less, I would not insist on the charge.A short distance further,

fus immédiatement placé sous bonne escorte et conduit au curps de arde, situé dans une charmante résidence privée dont ils s'étaient emparés ens français pour me conduire en canot à St.Jean.0 mais et où plusieurs \u20ac étaient réunis Ils se mirent à m\u2019examiner et me de mandèrent où j'allais.J'essayai de leur faire croire que je me rendais purement et simplement St.Jean où m\u2019appelaient des aff aires personnelles.1ls ne parurent pas ajouter foi à mes paroles, continudrent se consulter entre eux et me pararent d'avis de me garder prisonnier.Heureusement qu\u2019il se trouvait parmi eux un de mes amis, qui les supp) ia de me laisser aller.t ami était un patriote d'origine anglaise, un nommé Villls Nichol, Il leur dit qu'il me connaissait et les assura qu'ils n'avaient rien à

dans mon canot au fond duquel mes papiers étaient restés intacts, je me rendis à st.Jean sans autres aventures, Je passa la nuit à St.Jean et, le lendemain matin, je pris le train pour Montréal.Là j'allai au bureau de Sir John Col- borne et il me fit un accueil bien cordial.JOHNSON FAIT PRISONIER, loi-même qui dirigeait tette institution, aidé par quelques officiers et sous- ofliciers de

renceville.Dans les premiers jours de l\u2019été, lorsque on nous apprit qu'une insurrection était imminente, les loyalistes de Clarenceville et des environs commencèrent à organiser des compagnies volontaires, Je les conduisais dans un champ situé tout prés d\u2019ici et leur enseignait les manœuvres.a plupart des'gens qui étaient fixés dans cette partie du pays à cette époque 4 LA MAISON DE

officiels, dans le but d\u2019écrire ses mémoires sur la rébellion pour les confier à notre journal, Lorsque son visiteur lui fut présenté, il l\u2019acceuillit chaleureusement et lui serra la main .cordialement, \u201cJe suis trds heurcux ue vous soyez venu, dit M.Johnston.@ n\u2019étais pas certain que vous pourriez .trouver ma demeure, et comme le récit que publie votre journal m'\u2019intéressé vivement, j'étais à feuilleter mes paperasses dans l'intention de vous expédier un chapitre assez détaillé.Les facultés mentales de M.Johnston sont aussi bien conservées que son physique l\u2019est, et il nous raconta ses souvenirs d\u2019une manière tout-à-fait intéressante et avèc beaucoup de précision et de méthode.Il s\u2019exprima dans les termes suivants : s \u2018La première expérience que j'eus dans l\u2019art de la guerre, fut lors de I'invasion américaine de 1812-1815.L'on m'avait demandé de faire partie de l\u2019expédition à Plattaburgh : je fus attaché au 49ème régiment de ligne et fis la campagne.Je fus blessé la jambe et .envoyd A Phopital.Pour cette affaire DE BT.JEAN A LAPRAIRIE Jobtins une pension qui m\u2019est encore servie.! \u201cVous vous figures sans doute, qu\u2019 ayant été ainsi blessé dès ma première \"Gninpægne, j'aurais dû en avoir assez de vie militaire.Ce fut tout le contraire ui Rrriva ; mon goût pour la carrière v8 années ne fit que s\u2019en accroitre, et fi mand, en 1894, mon père, m\u2019offrit de me ire entrer dans une le talre, x Avec le plus grand plaisir, saient tout le contraire des loyaux sujets 1ls faisaient des voeux pour le succès des patriotes.L\u2019un de ces américains demeurait avec sa famille, dans une partie de ma maison, et lorsque que je sortais de chez moi pour vaquer mes travaux ses enfants sortaient aussi et se mettaient à m'appeler \u201c vieux tory,\u201d croyant par là m\u2019insulter grandement.L'intérêt public et l\u2019effervescence opulaire étaient à leur comble à cette la, comme vous devez bien le penser, du reste.Un jour, étant allé rendre visite à l\u2019un de mes amis les plus intimes, la dame de la maison s\u2019écria : * Vous ne sauriez crofre combien je plains les pauvres canadiens ; leur position présente ressemble tant À celle dn peuple américain au temps de la guerre de l\u2019indépendance.\u201d Ces paroles me surprirent beaucoup et ayant demandé à cette dame, madame Smith, si les patriotes avaient ses sympathies, elle répondit: \u2018\u201c\u2018Oui, oute, et je souhaite qu\u2019ils réussissent.\u201d Sur ce je lui souhaitai le bonjour et m\u2019en allai.Le fait est que durant cet été 14 nous essuyAmes toutes espdces d\u2019insultes, et il était à craindre que nos voisins nous donneraient du G1 à retordre.Ea définitive, le trois de décembre, je me rendis, avec quatre ou cinq des notables de l\u2019endroit, chez le pasteur ou ministre de l\u2019église épiscopalienne, qui avait l\u2019habitude de rédiger nos doeu- ments concernant les affa publique C\u2019était un homme loyal et ayant cœur l'intérêt de ses concitoyens.Nous lui expliquämes qu\u2019il était devenu d\u2019une impérieuse nécessité de faire garder le vil par des volontai et lui demandâmes de vouloir bien écrire une suppligne 4 Sir John Colborne pour obtenir un permis et tout ce qu\u2019il fallait pour lever et équipper une compagnie.vénérable pasteur fut de suite convaincu de l\u2019urgence de la chose et nous dit : \u2018Je vais chercher mon encre et ma plume à l'instant et je vais préparer votre requête.\u201d Quand il demanda à mes compagnons quels étaient les officiers qu\u2019ils dési- ralent avoir, ils répondirent : \u201cJohnston connait le métier de soldat; faites-le nommer capitaine ; donnez-nous Amos Vaughan pour Heutenant et William G.C'Le ministre nous prômit rédiger 1 ministre nous pro der In requête pour le lendemain matin, et £ me préparal A partir aussitôt.que Il se mit aussitôt à son pupitre et m\u2019écrivit la permission requise.Avec ce document en poche je retournai à St.Jean par le même chemin que j'étais venu.Je voyageai par le chemin de fer qui était alors en opération entre St.ean et Laprairie.C'était la première ligne établie au Canada et une affaire bien primitive.Quand nous arrivions à une montée un peu raide, tous les passagers descendaient et les hommes poussaient sur les chars pour leur faire gravir la côte.De St.Jean je traversai à St.Athanase pour passer la nuit à l'auberge de Caleb nroy.y.Entre huit à neuf heures le colonel Robert Jones vint me dire qu\u2019un de rebelles était sur le point de se rendre de Pointe-à-la-Mule à Swanton vid Henryville.It ajouta qu\u2019il désirait beaucoup envoyer une dépêche au prêtre catholique de Henryville et que, après avoir essayé partout de trouver un messager à cet effet, il n'avait rencontré personne disposé A s\u2019aventurer la nuit.J\u2019offris aussitôt de porter cette dépêche et, l'ayant reçu, je partis tout de suite à pied.J'avais douze mille à faire, mais je m\u2019acquittal de ma commission comme au En traversant JA partie du pays occupée par les cañadiens-franrais je re- marqual beaucoup de mouvement et que toutes les maisons d\u2019habitants le long de la route étaient éclairées En arrivant à Henryville j\u2019appris que la bande des rebelles venait justement d\u2019 nasser en route pour Swanton.I'ex tion était grande.J\u2019allai immédiatement chez le curé lui livrer mon message.Celui-ci, qui était un sujet bien\u2019 loyal, me dit que les rebelles lui avaient volé toutes ses provisions.Sa sœur, une vieille fille, avait ou tellement peur que même lorsque j'arrivai elle était encore accroupie dans un coin de la chambre et tremblait comme un chlen dans un sac mouillé.J'avais hâte de retourner chez moi parceque je savnis maintenant que les rebelles se dirigeaient sur Swanton, mais, comme j'étais bien fatigué, le capitaine Hogle, un de mes amis d\u2019Heunry- ville, me donna un cheval.Arrivé àgla maison, j'appris que les hommes 8'étalent rendus avec leurs voitures à l'Ile- TE EM AU RL og - 2 pe rt aux-Noix en rapporter des arm: des munitions et des habillements mil, aires.; .J'avais fini de

cartouches, puis nous nous mimes en route.Avant le soir, nous avions marché quatorze milles et combattu à Moore's Orners, nceville nous allâmes d\u2019abord à Philipsburg.Là, nous cons- tatimes que

faisait noir.Lorsque nous vimes que le fou des rebelles se ralentissait, nous nous élançâmes sur eux, mais nous échap- perent, Nous courtimes le longdu chemin et rejoignimes une voiture chargée d\u2019armes, de fourches de piques, de faulx, fixés au bout de batons et de quelques vieux fusils Un des chevaux attelés à cette voiture avait été tué, et comme il était étendu dans le travail, la charge n\u2019avait pu être emmenée.Un de mes amis, nommé Johnson, âgé de soixante-sept ans, et moi-même nous fâmes les premiers à atteindre la voiture.Il mit la main dessus et s\u2019écria: \u201cCette prise est à moi.\u201d Nous trouvâmes un peu plus loin sur le chemin deux canons.paraitrait que les rebelles en retournant les caissons, lors de leur retraite, avaient culbuté les canons et avaient été obligés de les abandonner, Je m'en approchai le premier, et mettant la main dessus, je m\u2019écriai : \u2018\u201c\u201c Voici ma prise.\u201d Avec l\u2019aide d\u2019un mes amis, je traîtnai un de ces canons jusqu\u2019à Phillps- burg, et, de là is le fis transporter à Clarenceville.lus tard, je mis les roues du canon sur une charrette et elles finirent par se briser.J'avais continué de lajsser le canon en debors de la maison.Or, un ce soir, quelques rs de Swanton, Vt, où les rebelles se étaient procuré, jaloux de voir un si beau trophée en ma possession, vinrent chez moi et ie dérobèrent.Ils le gardèrent quelque temps à Swanton, mais un des nôtres, ayant su où il était caché, s\u2019y rendit un soir avec quelques amis et le ramena.Depuis lors, le canon est resté ic.Voilà toute l\u2019histoire du canon que je vais vous preter pour que vous l\u2019exposiez dans la vitrine du bureau du STAR.LES OOMPAGNONS DE JOHNSON EN \u201838.Mais revenons à l'affaire de

fund, would like to invite Mr, liexford's attention and that of Lhe Protestant Committee geu- eta ly to the prevalence of! the same deplorable fast among the academies of the country.1! they are not aware of it already, there is a serious fault lying to the charge of those whose duty it is to furnish statietica in regard to those schools to the Protestant Committee.If the fact is apparent to ihe committee, and it is hard to believe otherwise, there Is a culpable negligence of the interests of both teachers and taught shewn by the very body which is in duty bound to defend them.1 do not for vue moment suppose that a diploma is every evidence of a competent teacher; but an Academy diploma, whether obtained from the Universities, the McGill Normal School, or either of the examining Boards qualilied to graut thouw, is 8 guarantee of scholarship suilicient io its lowest grade, to cover the ordinary work of our academies.In the cus of Lhe first two sources uamed, it 18 further au indication of actual teaching ability.Agaln, Is it just, In the Interests of regularly quaiified Leachers, Lhat persons, without & diploma or anything which might be accepted as of the nature of one, should be allowed to compete with them tor Lhe most respousible positions in the educational sys- term of the province?it may be stated, in reply to this, that teachers having the proper certificates will in nearly every cause be preferred, to those who are without them.ut I appeal to any one, who hae any experience of the choice of boards among candidates, whether the teacher possessing a diploma is not often passed over, either from a desire for a false vconomy or owing to the effect of local influence and partisanship.LEANDER.- Our Sidewalks, To the Editor of the STAR: SIR\u2014T'he interview with Chief Paradis published in last Saturday's issue with regard to clearing the sidewalks, could not but strike one as to the silly manner in whieh such work is periormed in this great city.That a man who keeps Lis sidewalk well cleaned should be prosecuted on accouu of his neighbor's; poriion being some six laches higher ls simply ridiculous.If necessary let us have a public gathering, a general uprising of business nen, and devise sume means Lo have vur walks well cleaned lu à busine-s-like manner, l'he City Passenger liailway doesn't amount to a row of shucks winter or summer, and cannot be depended upon.Bo let us have our walks cleaned in a uniforn style, so that one can walk to one\u2019s business, Let the STAR keep at this nuisance until it 1s abolished.What a pity it is that part of the pay of this Chief and bis army of watchers could not be appiied to this good purpose!

delicate nature.But the principal interrupts his second, saying, \u201cYou have enlisted my sympathy for the goung lady you describe, but her brother is a naval officer like me.Your appeal would do equally well to his commanding officer to prevent his going into action; and how do you suppose his commanding officer would answer you?Besides, 1dld not challenge the beggar; I don't want to kill him; 1 only want to protect myself.\u201d \u201cAnd if he pops at my friend, my friend shall pop at him!\u201d rejoins the second, who is now becoming excited, Barnes pays no attention to this remark, but waits till he catches the eye of the principal, then looking him full in the face, says, \u201cVery well, if he kills you?\u201d \u2018\u2019There\u2019!l be one less Englishman for the Ezyptians

with the rest in action, though 1 want no private blood-stains upon me; but a man, with these foreign chaps, out here, must upbold the homer of the British sailor and that flag!\u201d He points to the beautiful ensign of his country, floating from the gat! of the distant gun-boat, that wherever the world over, means protection for the Anglo-Saxon race.\u2018Situated as I am, would you apologize?\u2019 he asked.\u201cYes, if 1 were in the wrong!\u201d says Mr.Barnes.\u201cBut I am not in the rong; at least not more so than the other.This miserable affair ali came about from & picture of Punch, intended to make men laugh, not murder each other.\u201d \u201cAh, yes, political cartoons, when witty, make one side laugh, and the other side savage; I wonder how many murders Punch and Puck have produced?\u201d The joues naval officer is now laughing at the remtembrance of the picture, \u201cJt was so awfully jolly, you see.The lazy British lion\u2014ha] bal was eating all

rejoi 8 the Englishman.\u201c says Mr, Barnes diplomatically, \u201cI should notlike to have any one me a liar; he might be telling the tru you know; I should have knocked him down too, but having

other end of the balcony, gazes at the gun-boat an whistles under his breath the air of an old sea-song.Barnes glances after him in disgust: he likes the bulldog determination, buf is too much of a

question will Le dealt with, and whether the commercial relations between Canada and the United States will bo considered by the negotiators are sUll to the best informed outsuters ail matters of pure conjecture.It must be remembered that whatever is done by the Comunis- sion is subject to the approval of the United States Senate, and that consideration will have great influences with tho negotiators, both as to the conclusions at which they arrive and the subjects with which they deal.It is not at ull probable that they wiil agren to proposals which will be likely to be thrown back in

must now bé content to retire into the shade, and permit the oflicial negotiators tu do the work for which they were appointed.If we were disposed to adopt the role of the prophet we would feel inclined to predict that there is a great disappointinent 1 store for the very wise and very Bazacious people who bave been talking and writing so oracularly about the Fishery Comunis- sion and its Work.TSE RESULTS OF PREVENTION, There are still many people who in their hearts believe that a very great deal of unnecessary fuss is made about the means that should be resorted to for the prevention of disease.They regard those who talk about the necessity of good drainage, and who are always complaining that the authorities are not eareful enough about the removal of filth, as a sort of amiable, but very troublesome, cranks.They cannot su the mischief that accumulations of decomposing matter are doing, and it is, consequently, almost impossible to make them believe that they are the cause of the deadliest diseases.The consequence is that such persons live contentedly, surrounded by conditions most injurious to human life, and give, at best, an upwiiling aid to those who are engaged in the work of sanitary reform.These careless peoples do not know what has actually been done of late years in many countries to prevent disease and to save life.\u2018They do not know that the knowlrdre of the causes of disease and improved sanitary arrangements are now preventing a vast amount of suffering and saving thousands of lives annually in Great Britain alone, If they conld be convinced that the knowledge which they despise and tho precautions which they look Upon is unnecessary have on actual trial been found to keep large numbers in good liealth, and save very many from untimely graves, they wo'lld become eager to adopt the measures which in other cities have heen found effective in the preservation of the public health, 1f thev knew, for instance, that means had been found in England to reduce tbe deaths from typhoid fever more than oue half, they would feel it to be thew duty to do in Canada what in England has been followed by such blessed results.We find from an address delivered in Iondon a few days ago by Doctor Thorne that the deaths from typhoid fever have steadily decreased in England and Wales since 1859, from 8.9 to the 10,000 of tho population to 1.7.This change has been due principally to the improvements that have been made in the sanitary condition of the towns, Those improvements are saving some 8000 lives annually from typhoid alone, besides keeping the people in better health than thiey ever at any previous period enjoyed.Not long ago about 2000 cases of typhus fever were every year taken into the hospitals of London, now that terrible disease has alinost disappeared in that city.This is owing to its improved sanitary condition.Betwecn 1838 and 1542 the deaths {from smallpox in Great Britain were 57.2 to the 100,000 living; between 1850 and 1884 the deaths from that disease were only 6.5 to the 100,000 of the population.This is, roughly calculated, a saving of 12,000 lives a year.We have seen that the deaths from typhoid fever

health, they have discovered the probable causes of some deadly diseases.They have found out that a connexion exigts between scarlet fever in man and a corresponding disease in milch cows, and that diphtheria has certain relations to animal disease, Some observers have arrived at the conclusion \u201cthat phthisis (consumption) in man has concern with the use, as food, of the flesh and milk of tuberculous animAls of the bovine tribe.\u201d Buch discoveries are the first steps towards finding out tbe means of preventing these terrible diseases, From the facts, uncontroverted and incontrovertible, contained in Dr.Thorne\u2019s paper the most sceptical must be compelled to admit that great progress has been wade in preventive medicine during the last thirty years, and that it has been the cause of saving many lves; and must convince the most careless of the necessity of taking thase precautions which in other countries have been proved to be effective in saving life and preventing disease.CONSIDERING tbe unanimity with which all cultured people condemn the present lively interest in sclentific slugging (a unauimity, by the way, that is matched only by the attention with which we read the harrowing details of the last \u201cmill\u201d as they are graphically presented at our breakfast table), considering this unanimous condemnation, 1 say, it 18 wondgrfully refreshing to find a man nning dead against this current of culture ag Julian Mawthorne has tbe nerve to ¢o™n an article on The Noble Art of Self Defence in the November Cosmopolitan Mr.Hawthorne clearly possesses the courage of his convictions.He believes in bare fist-fighting under certain restrictions as being a wholesome, healthful exercise; he strongly prefers it to boxing with gloves, which he says calls for notbing but strength and pluck, skill being quite superfluous, and Le gives forth thess alarming views with a frankness and literary grace that tunke it bard to remain unconvinced by hin, The most important part of his paper, however, is that in which he seriously proposes the legalizing of prize fighting under such restrictions as these: The tighters should be recognized as a distinct class in the community, they should be regularly prepared for their calling, and only such as receive diplomas should be allowed to practise; they should be heavily taxed, certain places should be provided for their contests, and so forth.Now this is very well if it be impossible to prohibit prize-fighting altogether.It certainly would be making the Lest of a bad business.But with all deference to Mr.Hawthorne 1 am of opinion that prize fighting not only ought to be but can be probibited, and that it mever should be anything else than an outlawed oc cupation.To legalize it would be to open the doors to that flood of barbarism which is ever ready to overwhelm our civilization.Legalize prize-tighting, and the legalizing of bull-fighting, bear-baiting and other barbarous sports would inevitably follow, and the last state of the country would be Infinitely worse than the first, No, no, there must be no legalizing of the bruiser\u2019s brutal business.Max JESOLEY.se .Why not introduce the note system into the petty as well as large transactions?It would be a good predecessor to the cash system.A man who honestly means to pay, prefers paying cash if he can.If he bas not the money, and houestly means to pay, it is easy for him to give a note even for five dollars.The question of time and interest might be left betweèn the parties, but the principle would be almost equivalent to cash.The idea is to close an account the moment a transaction is completed.The debtor honestly does so when he gives a note.The creditor is perfectly secured agwinst disputes, and generally against delays.Just as a creditor now releases his pressing claims upon promises to pay, 80 he might, if he saw fit, relax bis claim upon a note when due, The system is elastic, but would be a relief to trades men, and even to professional men.ZETA.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 BRBIC-A.BRAO.Rummaging through the shelves of an old-fashioned,

understand It is a private mark of his own to show thet iL is a reported sale by a broker who bas the buyer and seller in bis own office.Did you examine this book?A.1 barely looked at it., Lid you ever know that this \u201cw\u2019\u2019 was entered there, and iv had been for some years?A Yes.Q.You know all about tirese roported sales?A Yes Q A reported eale is not a sale which takes place on the Stock Exchange, 18 it?A.luis a sale where the buying aud selling clients are In the broker's olice and the stock ie reported at thie price ut LLe moment, 1or the benelit of the cileut, , Do you thiok that if stock were to fluctuate ten points \u2018row the opening of (he Board to the close of 1t, and that a broker would cons and report a sale at either the lowest or highest quotations, as it suited hia particular purpose lor the sate, that tbat would be a bona fide trapsaction bLebweun broker and client?A.As a general thing the buying apd the selling clients between them would save the profit that the room trader would make iu the buying and selling of the sLares.(.Supposing that a firm bad an order to buy Uv sages ot etock and an order to sell 100 sharvs, #hd he bouæht the stock at the opeutu# ol the board at, say, 90, and before the close of the board it had gone up to ivy, and then be wus Lo report his sale at 100, he could then give his buying or selliog client slock that he had bought at OU and charge hin 10u for it?A.No.He must report Lhe sale al the price current at the moment.1I the opening prices was YU it would have to be reported at du, it bought or reported at the opening.Q.But if I reported it at 100?A, But you have to report it at the market price at the moment; you must vot wait untll the board cluses belore you report it.If you had reported it at JUU, then IUU would be Lhe price marked against it, but you would have acted very badly to your clieut\u2014 that is, your buying oliens-and he would repudiate your transaction.It must the price at the moment If I bought stock at 85, which is the price at the moment, and It goes up to 1U0 that bas got nothing to do with your sale; you must report it at the current price ât tbe moment and so record it.Q This letter \u2018\u2019w\u201d signilles that as be- fween the broker and tteir bu {log and selling the stock to Air.Low that | 18 NOT A BONA FIDE TRANSACTION, does it not?A.It signities that Low appears there in his official capacity.Q.Do you swear to that\u2019 A That ls the understanding.That be appears in his official capacity?A Yes.Q.Is he there as assistant secretary to that board in that transaction?A.As assistant secrelary-treasurer of the board, and his naine appears there.I can say nothing else.Q.I understand you to say that the Mont- rea! Stock Exchange countenances and lends every sanc:ion to the assistant secretary to allow a broker to put through their records what appears as a transaction that really bas no existence?A.The transaction has a real existence in the broker's office reporting tbe sale, otherwise he woula be,contravening the by-law, and would be subject Lo a heavy penalty.Q Then the only guarantee that the Stock Exchange bas that thera is a buyer and seller in the broker's oflice is the word of the broker reporting the sale?A.They have Do other guaran! than that.When one broker states Le sells to another directly, if we had any suspicions we would follow the same oourse.Q The books of the Stock Exchange show & sale from Jones tu Low when in reality it is not asaleat all\u201d A.Not from Jones to Low, but it Was & sa 6 where Jones bas the buyer and seller In his ofilce.Q, And ths other transactions entered in that book whrre tbc names of two brokers are mentioned are trausuctions where the purchaser can den.and (rom the seller the delivery of the stock and rice versa, and if they fail to carrz out thas contreset, which 1s evidenced oaly by the entry in the Stock Exchange book, they violate the rules do they not ?A Yes But in the cass of the aale from Jones to w the selling broker cuuid not appear before your b and ask that Mr.Pow take that stock?A.Jones is both buyer and tler.Q.Notwithstanding that the Stook Exchange records show that it 1s a sale from Jones to Low?A.Yes, in the way I have explained.Low, in tbis transaction, could not be beld personally responsible for and could not be called upon to take delivery of that stock?Oo Witness (continuing) sald Mr, Low was a meniber of the board.He lends his name to represent tho buyeror seller.Q.Yes, but he does not know whom he represents, does he?A.The reporting broker is responsible for that.Q.Independent of the reporting broker, viewing it from Mr.Low's staudpolnt alone, not the transaclion ficticious?A.No.Mr.Low thoroughiy understands that tho reporting broker has made this transaction in his own office, having Lhe buyer and seller there.Q.Then if there was no buyer or seller in the reporting broker's office the TRANSACTION IS FICTITIOUS?A.If there is no buyer or.seller in the reporting broker's office the broker would be violating © by-laws and subject to a heavy penalty.Q.Therefore, as far as Mr.Low is concerned, acting as you say he does as assistant secretary, the bona fides of that traus- action aepend entirely upon the word of tha broker as to whether or not he basa buyer or seller in his office?A.Yes, cur.alnly.Q.TI'his market, Mr.Burnett, is affected by the quantity of stock thrown on to it at one time, is it not?A.Yes, the same as other markets.Q.if a broker held 1000 shares of tele- &raph stock in bis own name ur even in the naine ol a client that he was representing, and hu got an order from sume other client to buy thuse 1000 shares, he could sell 25, fix the price by that sale and report tbe balaucs, could he not A.Yes, and 1 would think be was acting fairly enough to buth pee aud seller.There 1+ no clearing house settlement In Lbese reported sales ns is usual in other sales?A.Oh, yes, there might be.Suppose Joues roported 80 Montreai, we'll say at 215, and sold them for a speculator snd bought tLem or an investor, it would appear in the clearing house receipt supposing such stock Was carried for Jones, say, by ourselves.Q But if both clients were speculators and got investors it would not necessarlly ap- in the clearing house book, would it?No.Q.If there is no clearing house settlement Dacomes merely a matter of bookkeeping the broker's office, does it not?A.Tre.\u201c\\ And it means that one man's lability ay argins.He bad a recol Fleurs b stock on the ot June through Try Lavis with Molver's know- lodse but aithough it broke the market about five points.it was not dobs with that He was sure t he saw Mo ther fn the morning or afternoon of that day.The action was an unusual foe, wi but was no violation of the a of a, WAS Aware of the letter which Molver & Barclay sent change president of the Exchange.Croes-examined by Mr.Long, be defined the difference between wash, fictitious, and reported sales; and sald that all brokers who carried stock for Molver & Barclay had to close them out when the failure was an- pounced or assutie them at the prices of the day.He was present on the Board asd considered that the firin was fairly and squarely treated, and he never heard them complain ull the writ of!

would like to call the special aitenution of you\u201d readers to threa poiuts in sald article.They are as follows: \u2018l'he tirst is for all readers outside of Montreal, in the provinoe of Quebea It is this: The inetl- tution will be a provincial, not a local or ctty oue, and therefore has claims on Pru- testauts throughout the whole province, in- oluding the City of Quebec.We hope tbat Protestapts in the Ancient City will make a note of this, as well as other places.lt should be remembered that Montreal bas already contributed $566,000.\u2018The secoud point [ wish to emphasize 1s this.It will be a hospital and not a mere asylum.to farm out those afllicted with mental disease, at 80 much per head.ln the Ontario instituons nearly fifty per ceat of the patients are cured, while those in this provinon, it is believed, range about seventeen per cent., to say nothing of the unwisdom of Protestants having to commit their afflicted and heipless !riends to tbe care of persons who, however kind and gentle, do not profess to have the necessary kuowl or scienti- tic skill In order tu the proper tment of mental diseases.Should not Protestants wips away the shame and reproach of baving to send their insane to institutions over which they have no control or supervision and where they bave no religious pri- vilegea to which from childhood they have been accustomed, and which would be a great solace and comfort to them | The third point is a most important ona I! Protestant cleraywen and the ladies would take the matter earnestly in hand just now, the money needed would soon raised and the promoters would be in & position to * arise and build.\u201d Will they not come to the help of the helpless, and this sad reproach of Protestantism in this province be torever wiped out 7 An appeal will be sent forth this week to Protestants in towr and country, and it ig earnestly boped tbat there will be a prompt and liberal response.SM Novamber 24nd, 1887.Board of Trade, The Council agrees that St.John, N.B, is suitable for a winter port.The weekly meeting of the council of the Board of Trade was held yesterday afternoon, when tbere wers present Moesrs George A.Drummond, in the chair, W.W, Oguvle, J.P.Cleghorn, Robt.Arober, J.H.ion, J.Kirk, John Jorrance, Ald.J, Grenier, Edgar Judge and A, A.Ayer.The representations of the St.John, N.B, delegates made at the last meeting were disc when It was decided to nommuni- osate the views of the to the Government, which are to the effect that they ravor the claims of the St.John's depuiation for the winter ports and if any fine of steamships are subaidized that Montreal be made the summer port The remainder of the sitting was taker up with the consideration of the question of à site for a new building.Took His 850, Patrick Campbell, a laborer, came from Lachine, on Monday to deposit $50 in a bank here.Op his way he was met by two parties who informed him that Lhe banks were not open after three o'clock, and finally induced him to stay at their house over night, The next day they took him into a saioon, and when they saw that there was only a little bo behind the bar, they gagged and took trom his pocket the money, This morning Detective Murphy arrester twomen on suspicion of having committed the crima.They however, pl not guiity and were remanded until to-morrow.Shipping Notes.The Allan 88.\u201cFomeranian® salled from Quebec, for London, at 7 a m., on Tuesday.The Allan 8S.\u201cMacitoban\u201d salled from Philadelphia, for Giasgcw, on Morday.The Allan 88, \u201cSiberian\u201d sailed from Boston for Glasgow, on Monday.The Dominion Line 5S.\u201cTexas,\u201d from Quebec, 8th inst, with 208 cattle, arrived at ristol, Sunday, and landed her live stock in condition, with the exception of 3 oattle which died on the passage, Manitobe Whest and Montreal Buyers, The Winnipeg Free Press publishes an interview with Mr.James Carruthers, of Norris & Carruthers, grain dealers of Montreal Mr.Carcuthers has bought largely in Manitoba wheat, and ehipped as much as 175,000 bushels No.1 Northern In one week.He accounts for the sudden drop in rates lately by the approaching close of navigation, and by a consequent fear of a block, which, he says, is imminent, as the elavators west are filled to thelr utmost capacity.Amstour Photographers.At tbe annual meeting of the Montreal Amateur Photo Club, held on Sacra evening, 19th inst, the following were elected officers ot the Club for the ensuing year: ; Presidont, J.Q.Shaw: vice-president, J.8.Hall, jr.; secretary.J.W, Davis; treasurer, F.G.Gnaedinger; T.H.Lighibound, A B Gwit, G.1.Bishop and R.Hanus- ford, à committee of management, Missing.A 10 vear old boy, named Johnny Mac- Douald, disappeared from his home, 29 St.Patrick street, on Thursday last, and has not been heard of since.His compiexion 18 dark, and he has light blue eyes.He wears a dark tweed suit.His anxious ents would be bappy to recente uny information as to his.where- \u2014_\u2014 East End Methodist Charoh.Tho Ind Stopy of & Young Meutossl Lady Mupleni elroles in TTA WIFE'S PEL.nor Stes TI Count 1 P Her Bushand is Capital, : Montreal and Paris are | excited ever à sonndal that bas ocourred between owe of their members and a Polish count Jo the latter olcy, resulting in a déesriad husband and sn appilestion for di- vores.Boma years ago s oalsbrated virtuoso, very well known in this city, took to himselt ag second wife a beautiful creature, a Mont- trealer, hersel!

narrow door at the bottasn and a small window near the top on the same snide.The other openings are tiny slits or loopholes, too small to admit a mans bead.The fower half of the castle has been completely separated from the upper part by a and masonry; and the slaircase ip said by Mr.Lyme to be so wndermined they many lives will be lost if an attempt is mee to toroe fu \u2018The gentleman balled Mr.Pyne [rom a haystack outside.Mr.Pyne was too shortsighted to recognize him, byt be knew his voice, and let himself down à rope inside to a loophole, thirty feet above the ground, whence he conversed for a long time.He ts in high spirits, and says the exerciss ho gets In goins up Fra down.the rope keeps bim In splendid health.The only difficulty was the cold, but he bad stuffed the loopholes with hay, and when the stove was lighted he was quite comfortable, barring the fact that the stovepipe wae too short and filled the top of the chamber with smoke, He has plenty of whiskey and toba nd canned meats; enough to last him till spring.When deputdtions come to visit him be lowers himsclf«down on the outslde in an armchair suspbnded from a windlass to about Hfteen feet from the ground, where he listens to their speeches and replies.He told the gentleman 1t was Impossible he could be captured.because even if the police effected an entrance he had secret means of exit.The interview was ended by Mr.Pyne lowering a boltle and tumbler by a long curd, snd .Visitor pledged him health and suceess in good Irish whiskey.Police Investigation, At the meeting of the Police Committee fixed for this afternoon.the sub-committee tbat has Investigated the charges against the patrol and Detective Nacgele will bring in their report.It ls undorst that no evidence was found' to

\u201cYou would have thought that being \u201cwounded on my first campaign, I ahould Save had enouxh of military Life.On the \u201cHalf of the settlers!in this district were at the time distinctly disloyal, chiefly Americans, and all kinds of rayers were mado for the success of the \u2018 Patriots,\u201d by these toreign neigh- Org, \u201cI had one of these Americans with his family in a part of my house and when I would be passing his door to go to my barn his children would come out and think they were insulting me very much by calling me \u2018Old Tory! \u201cFeeling ran very high ail through this time as you may imagine.Once while visiting one of my most intimate neighbors the lady of the house remarked, \u2018Oh! how I do pity those poor Canadians; they are situated so much like our American people at the time of the Revolution.\u2019 \u2018\u2019This somewhat astonished me and I enquired \u2018Mrs.Smith, is your sympathy with these rebels?\u201d She replying \u2018Y 1 hope they will succeed,\u2019 I bid her day and walked away.\u2018In short we received all kinds of insults during the summer and it was ginning to look as if we were going to ave trouble with our neighbors.\u201cFinally on the third of December, four or five of our best men accompani me to our pastor of the, Episcopal Church, who always drew up our petitions or other documents in which the public was interested.He was a loyal, ublic spirited man.My friends fol im that they thought it was necessary TO HAVE A COMPANY of volunteers to guard the village, and asked him to write a petition to Bir John Colborne for a grant to organize the company.\u201cThe reverend gentleman immediately saw the adv sability of carryin tbe idea out and said \u2018I will at once my pen and paper and write the peti for you.\u2019 *\u2018When he asked them whom theywant- ed as officers they said \u2018Johnson has been drilled; put him down as captain, Amos Vaughan as Lieutenant and William G.Clark as ensign.\u2019 \u201cThe pastor promised to have the petition ready for next morning, and I prepared to start as soon as I could get it or Montreal, to lay it before Sir John Colborne, \u201cNext morning was Sunday, the fourth of December, and as the PETITION WAS READY as promised.I started with it to Mont 4 THE.MON 38e Win 1 get Yoon de vented Aacoas ver ta | with f \u201cas | Ce à Bandiu pots Arias nm Es I ordered ol \u201cit I recoliech, and I got out & man came with a canoe and ferried we ter across.Af across and thawing ou I hired 8 ¥ren Canadian to take me St.Johns in a CARDS, \u201cWe proceeded down the river;

but they never got the chance again.\u201cWell, thanks to Nichol, I got off all right, and embarking in the canoe, in the bottom of which my apers still lay undisturbed, I reach st.Johns without further incident.\u201cI stayed at St.Johns that night, and next morning went to Montreal by train.\u201cI was shown into Sir John Colborne'\u2019s office, and was very cordially received.The General at once satdown and made out the grant and with it in my pocket, 1 started back to 8t.Johns by the same Way as 1 had gone, \u201cThe railway which then ran between St.Johns and Laprairie, and by which I travelled was the first in Canada and wasa very primitive affair When we came to a steep grade all the passengers bad to get out and those of us who were men bad to put OUR SHOULDERS TO THE CARS and help them up the hill, \u2018 Arriving at St.Johns, I crossed over to St.Athanase and put up at Caleb Cooney\u2019s inn for the night.Between eight and nine o'clock Colonel Robert Jones came in to say that a party of rebels was just going to start from Point-a-la-Mule for Swanton by way of Henryville He said he was anxious to send a despatch to the Roman Catholic riest at Henryville but although he ad searched all about be could find no one who dared go in the night.\u201cI at once volunteered to go and he giving me the despatch, I at once started with it on foot.he distancé was twelve miles ; but I got through all right.\u2018On the way through the French district, I noticed considerable stir, and all of the habitants\u2019 houses on the road were Lighted up.When I arrived at Henry- ville the rebel - band had just through for Swanton and there was great excitement.lat once went to the riest's house to dellver my message.he pri who was a very loyal ma told me that the rebels had robbea ai of his provisions.His sister, an old maid, was 80 frightened that even when I ved she was crouched down in a corner of a room trembling lixe A DOG IN A WET BACK.\u201c The news that the rebels were heading for our part of the country made me anxious to get home, and, as \"was very much fatigued, Captain Hogle, a friend of mine at \"Henryville, f hed me with a horse, \u201cWhen I arrived home I found that the men had gone with teams to Isle- aux-Noix for arms, ammunition and accoutrements, the first to be received by us.By the time I had partaken of some refreshment the teams returned with what we were so muoh in need of.\u201cWe arm ourselves from the agrons and started for Philipsburg.I took a musket, bayonet and four bunches of cartridges and we sturted on foot.By that night we had marched fourteen miles and fought the ACTION AT MOORE'S CORNERS TREAY DAILY STAR, WEDNESDAY.NOVEMBRE 2, \u2018rebels, who \u2018light fall of stow we should not h: Moore's house a pe > Cops Ma 3 LU) r in Yards 0, UE md Ta h .oa to kneal, as I Pad been tanght that it fad boon taught 16 was the best m Knee, Sepecially À ight ae men natural: di the dark.Y then ordered 35 quad ta I which \u201c prom Froin the tion in whicll they were found, I it was fire that wounded Bou- on the ;

wasting the space of your valuable jourval to recapitulate the fact so generally known, that the absence of proper medical provision left us completely AT THE MERCY OF THAT TERRIBLE DISEASE.It was not jong however, to the credit of those who su gallantly threw themselves lu the breach, that through the instrumentality of public organization the disease was arrested and eventually stamped out.Since then public bygiene has formed a subject of much interest to the laity, aud I think to the fair name of the Doguinion may it be sald, so general has education on that important topio become, that it requires but a healthy agitation to place our extornal and internal quarantine laws on such a sound basis as is possible for solence to quauost for the preservation of the country\u2019s = But though

DANGER OF AN OUTBREAX OF CHOLERA in the spring, in this country, is entirely removed.It would indeed be exceedingly repugnant to me, under the guise of professional interference, to awaken any public Interest in such vital matter, did the facts not strongly lm me to do su in a spirit of scientific obligation to the City of Montreal in which ve.To be brief, the consensus of expert testimony, impartially reviewed, casts a very serious doubt as to the efficiency of Lhe principal quarantine stationa io the United States, more particularly that of the port of New York in regard to the wethods adopted in combatting the recent importation of cholera; and, thal alarmed at the paucity ot the efforts put forth to check its iuroads, Mayor Hewitt, of New York, in a communication to the President, states a condition of things, at which, when fully cogujzant of the facts, the American public have certainly just cause for alarm.In resuming the substance of this important commubication to the chiel officer of the United States, 1 would earnestly request that your individual! readers will feel it a public duty to take the matter to heart and unite en masse in & stroug solicitation of the Federal authoritipa to piace themselves in thorough co-operation with the American executive in formulating a sound and practical system of international quarantine.The sist of the mayor's letter may, 1 think, be safely assumed irom the perusal of the report he cites of the - COMMITTEE OF MEDICAL EXPERTS appointed by the Philadelphia Collexe of physicians to investigate the condition of the quarantine stations of New York, Phila- deiphia and Baltimore.The personnel of this committee were Drs.E.O.Shakespeare, J.CG.Wilson and R A, Cleeman, Tue foliow- wg are Lhe most salient points abd resumé of their joint labors: \u2018The Committee states that ib feels called upon to comment upon the absence of a resident medical officer and of an adeyuate lorve of watchmen, patroimen and attendants.AS a consequence of these defects ot organization, the well recognized requirements of & quarantine ol observation cannot posstbly fuitilied.The possibility of occasional clandestine Comiv unica- tion between the detained immigrants and their friends, by means of s:uall boats, constituted a danger to the country difficult to eslimate and agalnst which, so far as we could learn, there were no adequate precau- ons Now, Mr.Editor, further comment on the condition of NEW YORK QUARANTINE I belleve to be uhnecessary.But, by way of comparison, would a report as to tbe quar- tine station of the port of Montreal be any better: Doesit exist?would, I think, uatur- ally be Ide first question.What solution Lo go vreat a problem can I offer?None tvetier than concluding by a quotation drawo from ihe address of Loc tur John H.Ranch, the efficient President of the Illinois State Uoard of Health, on the subject of quarantine defences: \u2018\u2019Sooner or jater the National Government | will be compelled not only to assume suner- vision of exterior quarantines, but to provide for ua permanent system of co-operation with State and governments in the admi- mistration of international
