DAWSON.All Montrealers are familiar with the benevolent face and tall torm with the student's stoop of the man who has passed thirty years of his life here, engaged actively and perseveringly in forwarding the cause of education and of science, and aiding generously by money aud influence all good works.Canadians are proud uf the men wbase fame ahroad bas shed a lustre upon tbe country, and of none are they proulder, or with more reason, than of Dr.Dawson Men of equal eminence bave chosen this country to dwell in, but he was born in Canada, andgit is that which makes his coun- rymen glory so much iu him, John Willlam Dawson was born on tha 13th of October, 1520 at Pictou.His father 1s sald to have bad a liking for physical science and probably gave Lhe bent to bis son's mind which has produced such great fruits.The preliminary education of the young bpaturalist was received at the Pictou Grammar School and College, an institution which then bad a very ib reputation.From Pictou College he went to the University of Edinburgh, where he only remained a year and then returned to Nova Scotia.Even as a boy he had been fond of geology and had made a collection of fussils, and now be returned to his favorite study with ardor, ln 1842 he accompanied Sir Charles Lyell on a tour through Nova Scotia, and afterwards embodied the results of some ot Lhe investi- tions then made in two papers on tne Arbonliferous Rocks of Nova Scotia, which he contributed to the Geological Society of Loudon.The Autumn vf 1546 saw him once wore at Edinburgh, where he completed his university course.On his return ome he again resumed the study of the grology of lus native provinee.The results of his researches.being published from time to time, brought him intu some repute, the first recognition of his rising fame coming from the authorities of Dalhousie College.who requested him to deliver a «course of lectures before their students.In 1850 be was appointed Supar- intendent of Education for Nova Ecotla, and five years later be accepted tne principul- ship of MeGill University, then & feebla institution with a small revenue and a smialler teaching staff.The great work of Dr.Dawson's life has heen the building up of this University.To-day 1t holds an equal position, so far as its Arts Faculty is couverued, with \u2018Toronto Uaiversity, which bas all the advantages ot state ald and is far ahrad of its other rivals.But MeGill boasts more of its Medical, Applied Salen, and Law Faculties.The fit has no superior on the continent and attracts students from all over the United States, a well as from every quarter of Canada.Some of its professors have a European reputation, and its graduates ure at the head of the healing profession in this country.The Faculty of Applied Reivnen is tar and away ahead of similar sehools ibn Canada, and, had it but à larger revenue, would soon rival its better equipped competitors in the United States.lo the third Faculty the greater number of Mootreal lawyers and many in the smaller cities owe their techulval «duca- Son, Abd it has Lhe honor of being the lirst law sobool established in Canada.Mont- realers then have «very reasen to be proud of their University.The credit of {ts present efficient state is in great part duo to the liberality of the city's merchants, but the direction of that liberallty was given by Dr.Dawson, whose own gifts nave been large.To ate but à siogle instance, the greater part of the apécimenas now in.the * Redpath Museum, * once balonged to Dr.Dawson and were freely given tu the col- logo by him.[ndeed, he has labored for the University with a siogular devotion and steadtastness.and that too no a llberal spirit.The University has never been far behind the viows of the age, and If the occn- sional changes in its curriculum bave not been so sweeping as some of its graduates desire, they have vet been As extensive as J denon, and ong experience would permit.t Ja easy tor the irresponsible to be radical, In spite of the engrossing Inbors entailed by his administration of the University and dulies as Prof r of Natural History, Dr.Dawson has found time to do much for the advancement of education in this Province.Backward ns we are accustomed to re our ayvstem of education wm rural districts, and wreebed as il appears in comparison with the systems of Ontarto and the United States, it Would be still worse but for Dr.Dawson.To his efforts we owe the foundation of the Normal School, from which ai- 4.most all the English teachers in the Province have received their training.In other ways also Dr.Dawson bas done much to advance the grade of education.He is n member of the Protestant Committee of the Council of Public Instruction, and was for many years a School Commissioner for the city vf Montreal, and in both capacities he has never lost an opportunity of furthering the cause which he bas so much at heart.What tho difticul- ties are with which he bas bad to contend, ali teachers know, and this is not the place to set them forth.Though it is as an educationist that Dr.Dawson has gained his greatest local fame, it is in the fleld of natural science that he has won his spurs abroad.He still clings to the pre-Darwinino philosophy.and stands in the fore-front of the opponents to the new school.Many of bis fellow-workers are impatient with him for this, but among the people bis fame has become greater on this very account, nut a few regarding him as the champion of their faith against what they believe the most gigantic and rampant heresy that has exerc the world since the time of Moses.But even if the evolu- ton theory should ever receive a universal acceptance, it is probable that Dr.Dawson's works will continue to be read by the peopla, for be shares with Sir John Lubbock the credit ot popularizing sciénce.His books are written in clear, simple English that is always both grac- ful and torcible.It is this charm ol language which has also made him popular as a lecturer, his elocution not being very impressive.Leaving aside scientific memoirs, a great number of which have at different times been published by Dr.Dawson, bis first work was \u201cAcadian Geology,\u201d which appeared in 1855.It is a complete account of the geology uf the Maritime Provinces, and in its subsequent editions has been brought up to the standard of the knowledge of to-day.Among other considerable works may be mentioned.\u201c\u2018Archaia, or Studies vu the Cosmogony and Natural History of the Hebrew Scriptures\u201d (1858); \u2018\u2018Breatbers of

there {8 no mystery about 1 other than regular habits, early rising, an a vigorous constitution.All his work is minutely planned beforeband, and executed with the utmost carefulness.Many years of toil have made work so much a necessity to im that he is unessy when idle, and finds his recreation in change of occupation ; rather than jn cessation of effort.By means ot these life-habits he has been able to accomplish an amount of work which in the uggregate appears enormous.Yet his life has been no vd one as his fellow citizeus can vouch.Dr.Dawson has received a full share of thowe intangible rewards which the world is wobt to bestow upon those whu bave enriched her store ot knowiedge.To mention only those most held in estimation, be was elected Fellow of the Geological Soclety in 1854, and of the Royal Society in 1862.In 1881 he was made a Companiun of the Order of St.Michael and St.George, in reoognition of his services to the cause of science.The following year he was elected first president of the Royal Soolety of Canada, and in 1881, war appointed to the same office for the American jon for the Advancement of Kcience.This vear he received the degree of Doctor of Laws from the University of Edinburgh at its tercentenary celebration.During the year that has just sed, Dr.Dawson has been travelling in Europe, Africa and Asia, having cope to tho latter continents to study the Foology of Egypt and Palestine.One of the jects of his journey to England, (where, by the way, he attended the Southport meeting of the British Association), was to examine into the subjects of the higher education of women and of cn-education.It ts reported that he has become favorable to the latter 1 and, As SCOD as a nlass of matriculants AREER ho ape he dor MONTREAL TUESDAY AUGUST 12

the scene of the disaster to the steamer * Anusterdaum \u201d on Suble Island, returned this evening, the former with about a bundred and tifty tons of cargo saved from the ship, and the latter with about fifty tons.Captain Guildford, of the \u201c*Newfleld,\u201d reports the stranded steamer to be lying 1u an upright easy ition with her bow facing to the westward, and be and Captain Lucas, of the * Ams m,\u201d entertain sanguine hopes of being successful in attempts to tloat ber.The work of removing the cargo was accomplished by surt hoats, apd 80 moderate was the sea and the wenther that the ** Newfield\u201d was able to auchor within a quarter of a mile of the svene.The cargo taken out consists of mis- cellaueous merchandise, and is but slightly damaged.There is reported to be considerable water in the steamer, her lower bold being tilled, but the © Newfield \u201d will satl to return to-morrow ovening with a steam- pump, and it is ex that sufficient water can bo taken out to get her off.The ship's bottom is not thought to be broken.by either Captain Lucas or Captain Guild- ford.The former remained al the island with his officers ana men, but in conversation with Captain Guildford he stated that at the time of striking he thought himself thirty seven miles further south.He considered bimsell safe from danger and did not bave the lead cast.His courses for tho two previous days showed that he should have buen iu the position bo thought himself, and be attributes the disaster to the unusually strouæz current that prevails at times in the region of the island.NEW YORK, Aug.11.\u2014 Two bundred steerage passengers of the wrecked steamer * Amsterdam \u201d arrived this morning.Thay say the sailors treated them a great deal worse than the people on Sable Island.captain had no command over the men.A pumber of engers were robbed by the sailors in a efaced manner.THE WALL STREKT BANK.An Examination of the Bank's Affairs\u2014The Suspension Due to Speculation on the Part of the Cashier.NEW YORK, Aug.11.\u2014C.F.Simpson and C.J.Osborne, two of the directors of the suspended Wall street Bask, on Saturday night and Sunday made a thorough examination of the bank's affairs, and decided, in justice to all parties, uot to open the Inatitu- tion this morning.The result of the examination is givens as © deposits, $1,250,000; call loans, $1,100,000 ; good business r, $300,000 | cash on band, $185,000.be cashier has been lending money too freely on insufficlont margins.It is estimated that the los- will be near $200,600.The benk Was à debtor at the Clearing House for $28,- OU this morning.which has bean paid, Chas.J.Usborne statos that the bank's loss cannot exceed the capital of half a million, that it i» not likely to so great, and that depositors will bot likely bave to submit to any delay in getting their money.At the offices of several] large banking firms the amount of Dickinson's deficit was placed at $250,000.He has not been at his desk since Friday.The Clearing House comnmittee has suspended the bank ad interim ll the meeting of the Association on Wednesday.The President of one bank herve said to-day:\u2014\u201c This will prove a bad failure.The accounts are very much mixed.A valuable record ot loans is missing.Dickinson took loans and securities and speculated on them in his own behalf.The amount of the defalcation will reach at least a quarter of a miilion.The depositors will be paid in full, but the stockholders will not get more than 25 or 30 per cent.The bank hus failed twice before.\u201d C.F.Simpeon, however, says the suspension is due largely to Dickinson's good nature in loaning money on_ securities in excess of their actual ue.Loans were made to stock vrokers, amopg them the firm of Dickinson Bros.There is nothing criminal in Dickinson's relations to the bank.Simpeon characterized the rumor that Dickinson had fled to Cabada as false and malicious.Dickinson had done notbing criminal, and is not the kind of man to run away.DAVITT AND PARNELL.No War Between the Two Irish Leaders\u2014 What Davitt Says.BosToN, Mass.Aug.9.\u2014 letter bas been received by

REV.P.CLAUGHTON, D.D.LONDON, Aug.11.\u2014The Right Rev.P.Clanghton, D.D., is dead.| Piers Calvelly Claughton was born in 1814 and was a brother of the Bishop of Kt.Albans.He was for some years rector of Elton, and held the bishopric of Bt.Helena from 1859 to 1862, when he was transferred to Colombo, which latter See he resigned in 1870, on being appointed Archdeacon of London and coadjutor to the bishop of that See, and a canon of St.Paul's.In 1875 he rucceeded to the post of Chaplain-General to HB.M.forces.) SPARROWS IN POSSESSION.How They Seized the Exhibition\u2014shot and Poison Could Not Expel Them, The sparrows appear to have taken advantage ol the two years\u2019 or more closing of the Exhibition Bufldk at Mila End to make a home for themselves within thelr recincta.Mr.\u2018Lapointe, the architect, ound the main building in particular literally swarming with the little intruders on vpening it in May last, and eo long bad they been 10 undisturbed possession that their expulsion in order to permit him to D the work was of po minall difficulty.He describes them as fixed in thousands io the crevices and beams, and undertaking to banish them by ordinary means was completely baffled.The birds bad entered originally through a broken pane of glass or , but had broken dozens more tn flying out and in.On one Sunday afternoon, he brought four men with shot guns, who killed three hundred in a couple of hours.This had no perceptible effect in diminishing their numbers.He then had recourse to arseuie aud potash boiled together and mixed with seeds, but the sparrows appeared to understand all about it, and refused to touch the poison.Finally, the noise of the workmen made the place too unpleasant for them, and they left of their vwn accord, but not until ruch as bad young {in the nesta, of which there were many hundreds, found thewn able to accompany them.The pugnacity of the birds throughout is said to have been something wonder- ul.Moonlight Excursion.Last night the Critertan Dramatic Club had a moonlight excursion oo the Berthier,\u201d and as the weather was as favorable as could have heen wished, everything passed off very pleasantly.The small but select number of members and friends wbich formed the party allowed plenty of room for promenading as well as for dancing.A very agreeable httle entertainment, consisting of sougs and recitations opened the proceedings, after which was contiuued during the rsimainder of trip to the caplial music of the band, varied by the pathetic strains of the bagpipes.The Grecers Ploulc.A mesting of the general committee of the Grocer's Picoie was held last night to make final ments, when the sub-comngit- tees that ls had been attended to and a suocessiul gatbering might be anticipated.The wholesale trade have made several towards fund 1%or prizes, or Horstord\u2019s Acid Phosphate, In Debility.Dr.W.RB.Holcom New Orleans, La.safe: found it an admirable remedy for state of the system.produced by fhe wear and tear of the nervous ener- & wedding notice Bob McDonald and Si AT nave decided tu slide down the colar-door of life hand in baud together.Backache is almost Immediately relieved by yesring voue of Carter's Smart Weed and pe Buckache Plasters.Try vue aud from pain.Price 25 cents.\u201cA wife's greatest trial\u201d Is the titlnofa newbbok.We have not read it, Lui.suspect that itis her husband.tva Sarsa r sarilla Dever before equalled nt daily record of marvellous cures fmm mense sales.t Is it that you like about that girl?\u201d one young man of another.- My arm,\u201d the brief replv Banking Powder.NISL SNS SIN NI to mat \u2018POWDER Absolutely Pure.powder never variés.A marvel of party, strength wholesomenest.Mare econvinical than the ondinar .Abd cannot be sold in cutnpetiivn with (he mult: tude of luw test, short weight, alum or te puw- âsre.Sad only 1a cans.OYAL BAKING POWDER CO.108 Wall Street, N.Y At Wholesale by Tags COSTIGAN & WiLAON.CRAWFORD & GORDOS.Warter PatL.AL Davy CXAWFORD.Juun RuBxkriox.Axx.McGipsox & Co.DuUsukant & MONGEX AIS -edogU Specific Articles.A 1 (FIEEFORRE} Te Queens Birthday and Dominion Day Celebration Commsi ttees and Others.7 PROF.W.HAND & CO.are to supply dispiays of Fireworks to an t,efther for land or water, alse storekeepers wit of Fireworks, from the smallest lo the largest fie cons of every size and shape always on Chinese lanterns.Li y of Fireworks a spe.ctalry.Hand & Co.had > lnanageiient of he freworks at the t Ice Palace at the Montreal Car vai.uYactirors for the Horticultural Gardeus and ua papes Straubosrd tubes for Las com voyance are made to order.Experien men wi Fatepiays over $150, smaller orders ed in cases, wilh full informativu for fin sent on application.Ad: PROF.HAND Frvotechaic A fusta, Hamilton.OBL.\u201ccod GC A R R H \u2014 A NEW TREATMENT which permanently cures the worst na DIXON à SON: 306 Kihe St West Boron Tout re C CURED \u2014$1,000 FORFEIT\u2014 Immix Cancer Curecures without use of se var a rdeulars.PURE Coaticuok 1\" FELT BA THE CARPETS, makes floor air-tight, pleasant to walk a TERRE Bo ths han BU Bn eal i GR ENERAL BAZAAR, ONE LOT SAMPLES FANCY WOOL GOODS.SHAWLS.CUFFS.BOOTS.GEORGE HN.ROWELL.1685 NoTxE Dann Stker7 (2nd flat), 181s 4 door = East Place d'Arues.NSTANTANEOUS MARINE VIEWS, photographed by Edwin H.Lincoln, Cam - Ra A, OT RAIS BS SEV MILLS PORTABLE.12-HORSE- power to thirty, on wheels or Semi-port- able;

a coating of cement and sand, well mixed, is next spread over the top, and when this \u201csets\u201d or hardens, a layer of two inches of sand is lastly lald all Gver and the bed is ready for the reception of the blocks.The blocks are from six to eight inches long, from th to four wide, and five to six inches ep: Block laying is a trade ol itself, and it is very difficult to flud 1eally good experts in the business.To do the work on St.Mary street the men had to be brought principally from Boston and Chicago, whero such work 1s In continual progress.Îf the paving process wenL on ip Montreal as it 18 hoped {t eventually will, we having the blocks at our own door while in Ch o they have to be imported, competent block-layers would be found here in a very short time without importing then and paying them such wages as $4 per day, the rate the men on Bt.Mary street are now receiving.The first part of the contract was finished last Monday, and was all dune under the immediate supervision of Mr.St.George, the City Surveyor, and his deputy, Mr.Lavallée.A visit to the work shows it to have been well done, and it is pronounced by compelent judges to be as good a piece ul pavemeaent- aying as ever was done in Amorica.When finished it is calculated to last about forty jours, with but slight repairing.Me.Mo eown, the contrantor, was personally present during the work, and has spared neither time nm expense to make the workworthy of thecity.BY DAY LIGHT More Burgiars at Work\u2014 A Honse on Laval Avenue Broken Into.One of the most darin breaking occurred at 24 Laval Avenue between one and two o'clock yesterday afternoon.Mm.Guthrie and the family left the house about twelve o'clock, locking up the premises very carefully but on their return found both front doors forced open by a crowbar or chisel, Everything in the house was turned upside down; drawers and boxes were smashed and strewn over the floor ; beds and bureaus shared the same fate.The articles taken sc far as known yet are, an Engiish lever watch, two pair gold sleeve buttons, two sets gold studs, two gold broachen, one silver roach, a air of gold bracele a lot of small fewellery\" gold and silver, a goid and silver watch chalu and a valuable cigar bolder, most of these articles being presents they are prized very much.The burgiars must have spent a considerable time in the house from tha upsetting of things, yet it evidently was cash or jewellery they wanted, as no clothing or anything else is missing.but they have not left much gold or silver ewellery in the house, every box or drawer ing ransacked ; still they did not succeed In getting any cash.Two men were seeu by Mrs.Keating's daughter opposite, but she took no particular notice as she thought they were workmen doing some repairs and not knowing Mrs.Guthrie was absent.There 15 a lack of police protection in this quarter and this is the second time Mr.Guthrie has suffered with in the past five years.cases of house FROM THE ROCKIES.The Advance Guard of the British Association Amongst the Hills.Mr.Charles Drinkwater, Secretary of the Canad) lan Pacific Railway, to-day received the follo telegram from tbe advance ard of the British Association, now enjov- ng a freo ride over the Canadian Pacific Railway.The telogram, which is dated from Kioking Horse Lake, British Columbia.a point some sixtv mies down from the sum- noit, says.'
