good people of Sherbrooke retired on Wednesday night, the prospects were not all for a fair day as it was raining hard and continued so well into the night.However towards early morning it cleared away, and the sun shone with renewed brilliancy.Loyal subjects were up bright and early putting the finishing touch to their decorations, and very soon the city presented a very pretty appearance indeed.Each individual seemed to have a different idea as to how such a display would best catch the eye, and varied were the designs.Very soon the red coats and members of the different societies were to be seen wending their way towards the several headquarters.The Royal Scots of Montreal to the number of 243 men arrived at six o’clock, and those who have a kindred feeling in the matter of the garb of the Highlanders were down shortly after the boys arrived to get a look at those who wear the same dress as Scotia’s gallant qznd (the black watch).Several of the Societies including the St.Jean Baptiste, St.Joseph" the Catholic order of Foresters attended divine service at the Cathedral.There was a splendid turnout of these societ ies, and the attendance of outsiders was also large.About nine o’clock the chief Marshal Luict.Col.W.A.Morehouse arrived on the scene, and immediately commenced to have matters all finally arranged so that there would be no hitch.About half past nine o’clock the societies who had been at church started along Market street to the rendvous.The Scots and other societies had already arrived and all that was now wanted was our own Battalion who had been answering the roll call at the Drill Shed.Immediately on their arrival, Lieut.Col.Morehouse gave the order for the possession to march.Viewed from a stand on King Street the procession was seen to the best advantage, and it must be said that it was the best that lias been seen in Sherbrooke and would have been a c redit to a much larger and wealthier c ity.The citizens were out in their thousands and all along the route being decorated, the sight was indeed one that will long be remembered.The different bodies were led by the Chief Marshal, then followed the Kilties.It is needless to say that they were looked upon with much interest.This is the first time that many in Sherbrooke have had the opportunity of witnessing a regiment so dressed.They presented a fine show, their uniform deanand bright and theirbonnetskiltsand plaids showed them to the best advantage.Along the route they received the favorable comments of the spectators for their steady marching and fine appearance.They were led by the splendid band of the regiment.Next followed our own boys lead by the band under bandmasterBissett.They had to keep up the good name which they received the previous week in Montreal and they did so in a manner most creditable, after the 53rd Battalion was the Harmonie Band which led the various French Societies The St.John Baptiste Society was led by a beautifully decorated wagon on which sat a young boy with a lamb, representing St.John Baptiste.Then followed teams from the dictèrent manufacturers.The Boston Bakery had a very skillfully designed wagon, and which represented the different articles which they manufactured.Then followed Bertrand and Blanchard rig in which were seated three ladies.Mr.Clough had a splended team forward as representing his business.The homes sud wagon were shining and the head of barrels of flour was very appropriate indeed.Mr.Boulé, blacksmith, had matters so arranged that he gave the onlooker some idea of how he went about his work down even to the shoeing of a home.The bricklayers were busy at work on a team belonging to Mr.Hawken As most of our triciuls tire awure we aro miikiuj' our store almost as large again as it is now, and consequently there is some delay in tilling orders.In a very few days all our repairs will l*e made and then with the increased sjiace mid increased help we will promise to execute all onlers with the greatest despatch.W e havetwo shipments of goods now on the way out from Ur eat Britain and when they arrive we will have the largest, most complete stock

breaker that followed with the colored gentleman on top gavean idea f the work of our contractors.The representation of members from Jenckes Ma chine Co.followed, and the “black squad" were busy at work laying their pits.The next part of the procession was taken up with rigs which although seen daily presented a very different appearance yesterday.The Steam Laundry, The Mountain View Dairy and Orford Dairy farm teams presented a very nice appearance and were a credit to the driver and owners alike.After that came L’Hermine with her crew of gallant tars w ith Jacques Cartier at the stern glass in hand eager for a look of land.This was cine of the best got up ideas that was in the procession.The hunting, Ac.,Hying from the yards of the boat looked very pretty.St.Joseph Society to the number of about 300 and followed hy 200 of Court St.Jean of the Catholic < irder of Foresters came next; of all the! fraternal societies this Lodge must he given the credit for having the best bant or.The Independent O dor of Foresters had the fac simile of a lodge mounted on wheels and drawn by four horses.The East Sherbrooke Baseball team was the only Athletic Club represented.Immediately after them came a carriage from G.A.LeBaron’s with four musicians who discoursed splendid music during the route and helped to enliven that portion of the procession.Perhaps the most pleasing sight of the whole was the nine handsome rigs belonging to Mr.Irwin aud each driven by a young lady.The idea was a good one and was favorably commented on.Mr.Flagg had the “touches” on his turnout very nicely arranged Mr.Knight >f the Sun Life and Mr.Armitago immediately preceded the fire brigade.Chief Davidson had the fire fighters.The spanking horses and bright harnesses and brass work on the engines and wagons presented a sight which went to show the state of proficiency in which thisall useful branch of the city’s protection is kept.There were 19 men from the different stations in charge of seven pieces.This did not represent the full force because there were so many men left in charge at each station in case of an alarm, besides the police that were on duty.The City Fathers brought up the place of honour in the rear.The first carriage contained Mr Fred Griffith, assistant Sec.Treas., Councillors Samuel, Hebert and Cate.(No.2) Councillors Guay,Fortier, Langlois and Mr.Panneton, M.L.A.(No.3) MajorFrassr, McManamy, Lomas and Gordon.Several additions were made to the procession during the march.Wiggett’s soda fountain at work, a bicycle club and the Thctford Mine- brass band.The last of the precession arrived on the parade ground shortly after eleven o’clock.The military were drawn up in the centre, while the other bodies took up their places on either sides of the grounds.The ladies of the W.U.T.U.are to be thanked on behalf of the volunteers for supplying them with lemonade, which was much appreciated by the boys in red.The 53rd Battalion and Royal Scots were drawn up in the centre of the parade ground and on thearrival of Dieut.Col.d’Orsennens he was received with the general salute.After he had made a tour of inspection the brigade ma ohed past in column and quarter column.The marching was very very good and the visitors made a splendid appearance.They were again drawn up in lined on the call of Lieut.Col.Wor thington three cheers were given for the Queen, after which the various bodies then marched to their several head quarters.The Royal Scots were under the command of Major Cameron and it may be mentioned that it was only a detachment of four companies that was present.The officers present were Major Cameron, Major and Adjutant Lydon, Lieuts.Armstrong, Oliver, Allan and Campbell.The officers attached to the Soot* were Lieuts.Fisher, Hyman, Stewart, of the Victoria Rifles Lieut.LeDtic, 65th Batt., Lieut.Bostwick, 1st P.W.R.and Lieut.Crathern of Montreal Field Battery.The sports in the afternoon were attended by over four thousand people and the events were well contested.The arrangements were carried out with satisfaction.The Harmonie, Victoria, Thet-ford Mines bands discoursed excellent music during the afternoon.In the evening thestreots were crowded to an extent never before witnessed in the annals of the city.The decorations and illuminations of the different building-,private and otherwise were much admired, we w ill deal with this part more extensively in our next issue as also the fite works which were reckoned to be of the finest character Th, Gun Clubshoot was also largely attended.A detailed report will appear in our next issue.The following address to Her Majesty on behalf of the Corporation and citizens of Sherbrooke will ho on view ’in Mr, Tuck’s window fora few days.The work has been done by

undoubtedly excels all others in the annals of British History.Alexandria Victoria, niece of William IV, and daughter of the Duke of Kent, was pntclaiinod Queen in 1837, being then eighteen years of age.With each succès* sive year of her reign, a loving regard for their Sovereign, has strengthened and developed in the hearts of her faithful sub' jecth until now, it justifiable in saying that we, as a nation, hold our Queen the ideal of all that is good, pure, and conscientious.No other period has witnessed such remarkable development in science, education, and invention, so true an endeavor to benefit humanity in general, and especially in alleviating the lot of the poor ; such remarkable religious changes, advancement towards higher living, and so powerful a bond of friendship between the nations.When Victoria ascended the throne there were 26,000,000 of people in the United Kingdom, whilst now there are over 39,000,000 inhabitants.The wise men of the time, foretold the “fall of the nation,*’ declaring that “it cou'd never govern both home and foreign dependencies.” But under Victoria, the new territory alone exceeds in area the whole of Kurope by one-sixth.To-day the Queen rules over 402,514,000 people, otherwise twenty-seven per cent, (if the populace of the world.Her Empire covers 11,399,316 square miles of territory.Regarding literature there has been an awakening during these sixty years, and something of the magical Elizabethan passion and fire, to a realization of the beauties of nature even exceeding that of the “Elizabethan age.” The poetry of Tennyson, Browning, Mrs.Browning, Matthew Arnold, Morris and many others of lesser note, has filled heart and mind alike with the dream-thoughts of poetry.In history Grote and Macauley were succeeded by Green, Freeman, Gardiner, Tecky and others.John fctuart Mill, Fawcett and Cairnes, have directed mens’ thoughts towards “Political Economy.” Carlyle and Kuskin, in philosophy and art, have taught us, respectively, to hate the false, and love the beautiful in life.Relating to fiction, Dickons, Thackeray, Charlotte Bronte, George Elliott, and Bulwer Lytton have admirably depicted the ludicrous, and yet at the same time have made us sigh.England’s Army has risen since 1837, from an incompetent, immeasurably inferior force to be what it now is—an army formed for “deeds of valor,” throughout the world.There are at the present time in the British Army, thirty-one regiments of cavalry, and twenty-four of infantry, the artillery being divided into horse, field, garrison and mountain batteries ; besides the marines, engineers, ordnance store corps and medical stall.There have been thirty or more wa/s during this sixty year reign, in which England has engaged the principal, being the Indian Mutiny, Crimean, Soudan, Zulu, Ashantee, Afghan and Chinese opium wars, in all of which Her Majesty has been successful, owing, in a great measure, to the ability of the heroic commanding officers, such as Campbell, Lawrence, Napier, Wolseley, Roberts, Havelock and Gordon, the hero who perished at Khartoum.The Navy also, has made corresponding, and more rapid improvements, England being “Queen of the Seas’*—and her navy the largest in the world.In 1837 that wonderfully beneficial instrument.the Electric Telegraph, was invented by Wheatstone and Cooke.In 1838, steamships first navigated tho broad waters of the Atlantic, sailing vessels being previously employed, taking usually thirty days per vejage.That marvel of human skill, called tho Telephone, is also an invention of the “Victorian Age.* In 1839 penny postage was introduced.The following year, the Queen married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg, to whom she was devotedly attached, this marriage met with the approval of every one, the Prince being a man of most noble character ; of their nine children, seven are now living.The thousand applications of electricity, railways, gas, photography, street cars, cabs, trolleys, the Bessemer process of making steel, cable cars, elevated roads, stem-winding watches, and that superhuman inventfon the Atlantic cable— were for the most part totally unknown in 1837, whilst now, people could scarcely do without these wonderful contrivances.In the early part of Victoria's reign, Australia was merely a “penal settlement,” with a population of 345,000.At present there are 3,300,000 inhabitants, it is and has been for a long time, one of Great Britain’s richest possessions, owing to its mineral wealth and facilities for commerce.Sixty years ago, upon the Queen’s accession, a rebellion which had been brewing for some time, broke out in the Upper and Lower Provinces of Canada, but it was speedily subdued.In 1867 the Provinces were formed into one grand federation, called the “Dominion of Canada.” The same year Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were also included.In 1870 tho Hudson Bay Territory was acquired and Manitoba formed ; the following year British Columbia united ; two years afterwards, Prince El ward Island also joined ; New Foundland now being the only Canadian province, which has not become part of the “Dominion.” One continuous line of railway stretches from ocean to ocean, passing entirely through British territory.Our country has also assumed of late, even more importance in the eyes of the world through the discovery of gold mines at Rossland, British Columbia.Of our glorious Dominion, I think I need say no more, as all of us know how dear it is to every loyal Canadian heart.It has been aptly said that England's greatness lies in the Bible and this, most assuredly is a correct statement, for a more truly Christian Queen does not, and never did exist than Our Most Gracious Sovereign Lady, Queen Victoria.Hers has been a beautiful life, overshadowed by many a deep grief, and terrible sorrow, yet through all there is ever the same sweet sympathetic woman, the friend of the suffering poor, the fatherless and the widows.To the millions of her dusky subjects in India, Africa and elsewhere “the mother of her people” is a weird, mysterious being.In fact she has never seen one of her great Colonial Dependencies, and yet the loyalty of her people never decreases ; for one and f^^we feel that like an “Angel of Goodm^l" she is ever hovering over and watching our destinies.( tur Queen, besides possessing all these good qualities, has a moat profound knowledge of |*olitics, and is a renowned diplomatist.Africa wan a scarcely heard of continent when Victoria became Queen, yet, through the discover e* of Livingstone, Stanley and many others, it has been opened to navigation, so that now, British Africa forms one the princq»al commercial dependencies of the United Kingdom.The heathen Africa looks up to his far off Queen, as to some presiding genius and all powerful Deity, who will deliver him from disaster.India, too, has risen to be what we now behold her, through the wide government of Her Majesty, who m 1877 was proclaimed “Empress of India.” The name of “Victoria” will forever be sacred to the hearts of all tnie uubjtct» ; and I think that all, most earnestly pray, it may be /on*/ lonq before the Queen we love so well, is called to Her Heavenly Home.And now as time permits of no further discussion—in conclusion 1 may safely affirm, that we all join most heartily, in the inspiring words of the National Anthem, “Send her victorious.Happy and tflorioun.Long to reign over uh God Save our Queen !" •Prize essay delivered by Mi** Lulu Terriil at the cloning of the nchools.Have You Any Of These ?Palpitation, Fluttering

Wasting' Time and Money A word at this time to the ladies ot Canada may lie the means of putting them on their guard, so that time and money may not be wasted.There are certain dealers and storekeepers whose life-object is the making of large profits on every article they sell.These dealers are now endeavoring to sell adulterated and imitation package dyes for the same price as the honest dealer asks for the reliable and never-fading Diamond Dyes.Few ladies have the inclination to spend time or money to experiment with worthless and poisonous ingredients put up to outwardly imitate the marvellous Diamond Dyes.If you want good work you must use the best dyes.Y“ars of thorough testing proclaim the fact that Diamond Dyes are the strongest, brightest and most economical ; they are the only dyes in the world that are specially warranted.Each packet, when direct-tions are followed, will give satisfactory and astonishing results.OUK OTTAWA LETTER.Ottawa, June 20th.Immediately after Sir Charles Tupper had left the city last week, en route to England the vague, hut doubtless well-founded rumor again became current in the lobbies of the House, that the venerable leader of the opposition had issued to his followers the probability of his early retirement from active political life.In the same breath it was whispered that Sir J.A.Chapleau, whose term of office as Lieut.-Governor of (Juebec will terminate with the close of tho present year, was likely to be called to lead the opposition forces.Hon.J.C.Patterson, the Manitoba governor, has also been spoken of, but as the latter gentleman has several years Wore him of gubernatorial sweets of office ,it is not probable he would leave them to accept the unremunorative honor of opposition leader, did he possess the necessary qualifications of that post.However, all speculation of this character, in the event of the retirement, is merely idle report w hile George Eules Foster sits and talks in parliament.Then there is Sir Charles the Younger, who also aspires to fill his father's shoes.His aspirations in this direction, too, are rudely backed up by the aforesaid sire.Here is thereal sticking point.The unsatiable ambition of the Tupper family blinds each member of it to the real situation of affairs.The country has plainly rejected theTupjwrian dynasty and will have none of it.while many of the Tory rank and file, in and out of Parliament, secretly rejoice thereat.It waa the towering and unscrupulous ambition of G.Eulas, on the one hand, and of Sir llibbert on the other, which led to the "Tyler like treachery perpetrated against their erst while Rader, Bowell ; and it is the same dominating spirit of these two, which now keep the Tory lamp aflame with its internscine warfare.I have often wondered why the irrepressible Davin— be who represente a prairie returning officer of Tory predilections-haa not always been spoken of as a poeeible leader of the Tory 'opposition.He certainly takes the coin for that preponderating Tory qualification for leadership—mind It is said that the task he undertook this session to make a volume of Handsird for himself, has been a remarkably successful achievement, for, it has been remarked, that the pages of Hansard which he has filled, would if placed aide by aide, carpet the broad territories and leave several pages to spare.But that’s a Tuppenan story.The Crow’s Neat Pass Bill.At this hour of writing the bill providing for the construction of the Crow's Nest Pass Railway has not passed the House.It will lie the fault of the opposition if it is dropped this session.Sir Charles Tupper, while he took occasion to cntize the government’s pro|sisals in relation to the railway was heartily in favor of its construction at the earliest possible moment.The government have, on their part, not been over anxious about the matter, but recognizing the necessity of the road being built in order to develop the region through wrhich it passes, and that the project should be undertaken not by government but by private enterprise, made the terms which we are now all familiar, with the C.P.R for the purpose of obtaining the desired end.The interests of the Dominion have been carefully guarded by the bill brought down by the Minister of Railways, yet in order to pose before the country as opponents of the government's proposals, Mr.Foster who leads the opposition in the absence of Sir Charles Tupper, has seen tit to put up a very strong kick, which Mr.Blair said to-day, may result in defeating the bill.The government is not disposed to allow the spacious criticisms of Foster and his colleagues to go before the country unchallenged and unanswered and as the life of the present session of parliament is expected to finally ebb out on Monday next, n i time will be afforded for that purpose.To have the bdl dropped just on the eve of its passage through the House would be a severe set back for Mr.Foster whose fondness for hearing the sound of his own voice and whose double attitude of sympathizer and bitter critic of the measure, will be the sole cause of its failure to pass, if so it should transpire.Governmental ownership and control of this line of railway has been urged by many among whom are the members from the far west.The fear of that vast monopolistic corporation, the Canadian Pacific Hailway, has prompted many to advocate this course.But ownership by government and by it operated has been demonstrated in the case of the Intercolonial as an inadvisable alternative, and so it is regarded by Sir Charles Tupper as well as by the government of the day.Such management cannot bring the same measure of successful profit to railway en-prise as when operated under the management of private operations.Such a proposition is particularly applicable to the ownership and managment of the Crow’s Nest Pass road by the C.P.R.Company which has been pre-eminently successful in its vast trans-continental system.This company, too, having control of the lines east and west of thePass, must therefore influence, to a greater expected to flow over the proposed new road, and are best calculated to work the new line to the best interest of the whole region which they have done so much to develop.Intercolonial extension.—With a thoroughly partizan Senate at their backs the Tories in the Commons are very cockey of late.They know right well that their overwhelming host of political sympathies in the Upper House can always he depended upon to make a sensational coup when an opportunity presents itseif.The recent Jisplayof subservient partizanship in that irresponsible body, in respect to the killing of the hill relating to the extension of the Intercolonial Railway from Levis into Montreal, “bears out the assertion fully.It seems to me that this expected coup was undertaken more for the purpose of working upon the credulous, and timid portion of the electorate, throughout the country, hy giving them the false impression thare there must he some truth m the suspicion, set on foot hy G.Eulas and the rest of his ilk, that there was something corrupt in the plan of the Ministry to lease the Drummond Country Railway in the manner and under the terms proposed.By the aid of the servile Tory machine in the Upper House, the weight of the semi-somnolent Senate has been lent to aid the opposition eaders in an endeavor to make political capital in the shape of a scandal they eagerly hope, out of the government’s scheme in the public interest to change the annual Intercolonial Railway deficit into a substantial surplus.The Senate now proposes to investigate the Drummond County Railway .affairs.Mr.Blair on the floor of the House to-day threw out his defiance and invited a most thorough inquiry.The result will explode another Tory fallacy and reveal the sham of the opposition charge.A.V.W.Consumption Cured.An old physician, retired from practice, having

CO.1 >ept, 7.356 Dearborn 8t , Chicago |w46 The Talley la lined with woods for a long distance, bul in one place, little more than two miles from the eeti.there la a clear apace, where the big house stands above lia hanging garden a.Strangers have occupied it for so long a time that they would wonder and be indignant did you call them by that name.For 20 years an old man dwelt there, continually divided betwixt the love of the living, bis daughter and a passion for hia dead wife that was forever drawing him toward the land of twilight whither he pictured her waiting for his coming.He had lived hardly In his youth, an overworked and underpaid drudge, finding the whole of his life's pleasures in the books of the great masters and in devoted cure for his mother.Apart from thusc indeed he had no life A distant relative—a cousin of his moth •r.a mere name to him hitherto—died and left a will whereby he became master of the big house and withal a man of means.At first the change of circum-atancee rather detracted from his comfort than otherwise.But ho was a gentleman and a person greatly loved by all who met him.He quickly adapted himself to the change and made himself a place in the hearts and homes of the neighboring gen try.He married a young wife and lived with her in the big house for some few’ months beyond a year.If ho had died at the end of that time, he would have thanked the gods for the best life it was ever given to mau to enjoy, but that w’as not the thing ordained.His wife died a day or two after the birth of a daughter, the Rachel of the story you are to hear.ëhe was a singularly lovable child, and his continued thoughtfulness on her behalf had the effect of making a like care fulness for others mere instinct In her.She was a child in virtugof her simplicity of heart, but her Intercourse with others was all made up of liltlo, kindly courtesies such us are in most of us the last refinement of art.In clue course she went away to school, and it would have been hard to decide whether the coming of holiday time, w hen she was at homo onoe more, brought with it more of joy to him or to her.She grew tall and very beautiful.Her face was clear cut and of a typo singularly patrician, but tho whole expression w’as one of delicate graciousness, and her eyes looked out up on the world W’ith the frankness of a beau tiful child's.There came in duo season a lover, but this did nothing to disturb the harmony of the household.In matters of learning, it may be, Eustace was not a fit companion for the father of Rachel, but he was a gi n tlcman, like the other, and a man so made that you would have sworn he would romain a boy at heart, no matter how long he should live.Eustace was a soldier on leave of absonci visiting the homo country, and the time was one when every man of that calling knew that the morrow might seo him or dered abroad.Perhaps the courtship progressed more rapidly than it would other wise have done because Rachel was aware of the shortness of the time of freedom al lowed him and how he chafed at it.Yet there was no binding sj < och between them until the order came that he was to return to his regiment ard go to tho war.He had no particular skill in theuseof words, and Ids speech with her was straightforward and to tho point.“I am luavi’t ; in two days to join my r< iment and go out in tho Crimea.Since I have been i:i tho west I havo learned to lovo you.Will you let me go happy l>o-cause you have promised to bo my wiloi'” Twilight was deepening, and only a few lights shone yellow in the windows of the cottages along tho valley.Rachel did not answ er for a moment, though ho felt some howr the thrill of puiu that shot through her at tho thought he was going to the war.She glanced in tho direction of the open window, where her father sat in the twilight.Then she made answer as direct as tho speecn of her love.“If that will make you happy,” she said, “I will promise gladly.But, oh, I wish you had not to go!’’ Tho lovers lingered a long time in the cool and pleasant air, and it was not till late that Rachel told her father of the thing which had fallen out that night, and the two received tho old man’s blessing.Then there was a parting, and Rachel knew that, save for an hour or two on the next evening, she had seen the last of her lover for many a long day.The gardons descend the slope of the valley and from the orchard at the bottom a pathway leads into the woods.It was this path tho lovers took on the night of their farewells.The spring had come full early, and oven the mullierries began to think of putting forth their leaves.In the woods the primroses shone everywhere, and many an open apaoe was carpeted with bluebells.There wore anemones and frail wood sorrel in tho shadow of scattered granite rocks and the garlic flowered whitoly where the soil was marshy.Innumerable birds were singing and every tangled bramble hush held a foolish blackbird that fil'd with a self betraying shriek as they approached, making almost unconsciously for a glade they had often visited together in the heart of tho woods.“Let us stop here, ’’ said Eustace presently.“Do you remember when we found the placef” “I have always known it,” said Rachel.“It waa my playground when I was a child, and eometimfw I chose to fancy myself the sleeping princess and this the pal ace where 1 waited for the prince.I did not think he would ever come.” “My princess !” cried the mam, kissing her as she sat beside him In the shade of a huge tree.“Out there I shall always think of you as waiting for me here.” “Come bock quickly,” she said in a low voice, “but do not think of me as waiting hen’.The place will be too empty without you.We will visit it together when you have come book.” “But you must not leave it nnvlsltrd,” he said.“It Is too dear to us for that, and you will tie nearer to rso here than anywhere else.Look down the path.’’ He pointed In the direction from which they had come, and her eyes obeyed his command.‘ home day,” he said, “you will hear that 1 am coming, and you will make re.vdy to meet me.But I shall not find The French Peaeants.On Sunday morning they

ostracised and llvoe in an isolated house near a wood—looked down upon as much ns soatlet woman ever was under the si«rnods.They traversed tin* pathway slowly and came al last to the terrace.Eustace entered and said good by to Rachels father, and presently the lovers parted, and the young man strods out under the trees of the highway and so home.The time which came after this parting may be guessed at by all who know hew the war went.Rachel lived In a perpetual fever of expectation, for the region wherein she dwelt was at that time isolated, and letters and newspapers alike came to hand all too slowly.She used often to visit the green glade iu the wo^ds, and, though she maintained the outward serenity of her aspect, her father was nut a little troubled on her lx half, seeing, despite her efforts at concealment, how love held hack the pen dulum of her life until this man should be returned who had gone for an indefinite period into a place where men were dying daily.“1 dreamed of you last night,” said the distant lover in one of his letters.“I dreamed that the day we were hoping for had come at last and that 1 was coming down the pathway to meet you in the woods.1 found you there, of course, and I think you h.id grown more beautiful than ever.Do you wait in the woods?” Rachel’s answer was this: “1 am always In the woods, whether in dreams or in the body.You could not come back, though, if it were ever so secretly, and find me not waiting.’’ The letters came intermittently, and there was that in them—rather of things left vagus than of things said—that sent Rachel often to thetrysting placeup the valley.The spring came very slowly, but the yellow primroses were out, and amid groon leaves the young hyacinth hud already a faint tings of blue.She spent hours In the very place where she hail sat with Ku s ta ce when they were together for the last time, and her heart followed her eyes down the woodland pathwray and across the seas.For at last there wore no more letters, and as these failed to arrive the girl became more eager every day for tho newspapers, more terribly afraid to open them because of tho news they might hold.Her father watched lier with a growing anil ety, and was fore\er seeking to allay her fears, w bile at the same time ho was exceeding loath to give them the support that a recognition of their existence would have involved.lie himself was seriously afraid for Eus taco, though there was no particular reason w hy he should be more unfortunate than his brothers.The old man saw anxiety and fear were telling on his daughter; that from a healthy woman she had become within a few days a mere bundle of nerves.One morning (known afterward as the day when Eustace got the wound that was to kill him) she suddenly uttered a loud cry as she sat at - lunch with him, and it was long before she revived from thu fainting fit which immediately ensued.From that hour Rachel’s condition l>e-came more and more a cause of solicitude.Her father was unhappy whenever she was out of his sight, and that was frequently, for something drew hsr to the trystlng place among the woods, and early ond late she would go down there and sit in the place where she had sat with Eustace and where she had promised to await him whenever he should he able to return.Home hint of the state of affairs prevailing at the big house had gone abroad among the impressionable people of the countryside, and the glade where she waited was held sacred to her and sedulously avoided.Hut at last (on the third day from that of her fainting fit and toward the end of the afternoon) she went down alone, and when it was dark she had not returned.For a long time her father suppressed his natural unrest, but presently ho found that the servants were oppressed, like himself, by an infinite, nervous dread.He determined to go down to the heart of the woods and bring Rachel home.One or two servants accompanied him, bearing lanterns.A thin mist had dulled the sky and hid den the stars.They walked in absolute silence, and the night was like a huge empty house in which their footsteps echpod.Fear was upon them, and a sense of something terrible impending made them waver betwixt eagerness to go forward and dread of what they were to come upon.At the edge of the woodlands the old man paused and cried, “Rachel, Rachel!” A dull echo was the only answer, and they moved on In the direction of the glade.Once again the old man raised his voice and called upon his daughter, “Rachel, Rachel !” But she aaswered to that call an hour earlier, when her lover

Sc itt took occasion to refer in uncomplimentary terms to the Montreal fo/fe and M< mtreal SVor, intimating that they had been subsidized to make the attacks they are doing on the proposed ex-tensionof the Intercolonial Railway.The Gazette virtuously repels the insinuation and in whining tones accuses Senator Scott of taking advantage of his position from bis seat in senate to libel these newspapers.Roth papers, especially the 0«-fie, entirely overlook the fact that for weeks past they have been writing libelous and unwarranted articles against the Government and individual members thereof, against the proposed extension, especially the Drummond County part of it, and taking advantage of their positions as owners of newspapers to write scandalous and libelous articles which the parties attacked have not thought it worth bile to refute, considering the source from whence they came.The whole attacks, as well as those of the opposition in Parliament have been based upon nothing better than the report of an unknown engineer who is in the employ of C.W.Armstrong who has been connected with many railroad schemes in the Province of Oueliec.It is certainly out of place for the Gazette to whine in the way it is doing when a dose of its own medicine has liean pre-seribedforit.In our opinh nithss shown itself very injudicious in its attacks upon the Drummond County railway, which is the minor portion of the proposed ext en sion.If it had shown a disposition for fair plav it should have attacked the Grand Trunk before attacking the Drummond County, as they were getting the larger portion of the rental.But for rea sons best known to itself, it has kept very-far away front any attacks ui>on the Grand Trunk, confining itself solely to the Drummond County.It has been hinted that those responsible for the articles in the Gazette are associated *»ith Mr.Armstrong in his various schemes, and that both the papers have shares in the South Shore railway w hich is almost entirely on paper —in which position it has been for the past fifteen years—and that by helping the schemes of Mr.Armstrong that they would be furthering their own interests.For this same reason it is to bo presumed that the Gazette did not attack, as many other pa|*ors did, the late deal by this Mr.Armstrong and the Flynn Government at Quebec, in which the Government were to guarantee eight million dollars worth of bonds upon the Atlantic A Lake Superior Railway, which is also to a great extent a road in pajier.Nor has the G.i-z tte or the Star ever written one word against the promised Longueuil Bridge, another of Armstrong's schemes.But, instead, they advocated the scheme, in that they did not openly oppose the Federal Government, giving one and a half million dollars, the Provincial one million and the city of Montreal another million, and various other schemes that could be mentioned.It is reported, that every thine that has been written in the Gazetti When the Senate met on Tuesday Sir Oliver Mowat in reply to a question of Sir Mackenzie Rowell’s said that the vote for the Intercolonial extension was merely for an experiment and that a full investigation could be had next session when there would be more time to do so than at present with a tired-out House.Sir Mackenzie Rowell said that if with the first reading of the Supply bill, he had the assurance of Sir Oliver Mowat that an investigation would be granted next session into ths matter, and that meantime the vote granted Would only b« used as an experiment, he would agree to this.He had thought of throwing out the Supply bill, but the matter was a serious one and theridoro under all the circumstances it would be best to postpone the enquiry until next session.The Supply bill was then read a first time.Tlie special committee met in the Railway Committee of the Senate on Tuesday in s icret, the members of the press and the members of the House of Commons being refused admittance.No one but Senators were permitted to be present.When the committee was over the correspondents were informed that the committee had ail ' Senator Miller chairman and decided to adjourn until to-morrow at 10:80 o'clock, when Mr.Schrieber, the deputy Minister of Railways would be summoned to be present.Councillor Lomas asked that the .Secretary read the communication from the special water committee to the Gas and Water Company stating that if a figure could not be agreed upon that they would imnsult to arbitration.Councillor Gordon said that he was not present at the previous meetings, but he would like to know why some of the Councillors had changed their minds.They asked the Water Company then to arbitrate.As they have changed their views and gave no reason for so doing he would not be pre;»ared to vote on the motion.Councillor McManamy in answer to Councillor Gordon said, in connection with the report which had just been read that he was not in favor of arbitration.That rider was put to his motion by the Committee but he did not agree to it.In fact that part of rider was a senseless one.He contended that before they could go into arbitration they must fix upon a sum, and he could not see how anyone could say they were bound by that report.They had a great objection to arbitration be cause ho did not believe that they would agree to arbitration.Before they agreed upon that there was a certain bond which would have to be fixed upon before they Could go to arbitration.Now they had made an offer of $75,000, which was really more than the works were worth.In justice to the city he did not think they should go to arbitration.In 1884 Mr.Lesage made a report at the request of the city and he valued the works at 864,000, and there was about 50 percent, of four inch pipe.H- also recommended that some change fc made.Now the company took no notice of his report for in 1897 they found 31,355 four inch pipe, which was 60 per cent, of the whole whereas they had only 50 per cent in 1881 In Mr.Beaudry’s report ho recommended that 20,000 feet of this pipe be taken up so they would see how the valuation was brought down.There was surely no Councillor so much in sympathy with the Company that would make the city pay for that which would not be useful to them.In Mr.Beaudry’s report of 8th March, 1897, he valued the system at 8101,148 In his estimate he calculated on 826,000 for contractor’s contingencies and engineers’ fees, etc.He had spuljen to some very large contractors and they said that 50 per cent, of that was quite sufficient, so that reduced it to $13,000.Mr.Beaudry also recommended that over 19,000 feet of four inch pipe be taken out of the ground and which would he useless to the city, and for that he would take oil 812,988.The reservoir he valued at 816,000, but Mr.Lesage who is better acquainted with it puts the value at 88,01)0.The reason that Mr.Beaudry put such a high figure was because he estimated on two-thirds rock end one-third earth.In taking off $40,000 for these items would bring it down to about $61,000.Then they had pipes which had been in usefor some 17 or 18 years.They knew that the water works company paid twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars for the contract, and they received the revenue for the past eight or ten years.It was not supposed that they were to buy the contract from the company*, ihe imperfection of this system was con-detuned by Mr.Lesage in 1881.Beaudry Wallbank and others condemned their reservoir, and lie thought that in fairness to all concerned that the oiler of $7u, non If The City Council Want to Control Water Works.Opera House Bye-Law Passes Council.J U hieu’s TWiig Store 36 full dispos'd of.Name.No.Town First cotnc fc boxe* 6f

Mr.C.H.Nutter for a bonus in connection with bis building an opera house.His Wor ship Mayor Fraser presided, and the other members of the council present were Councillors McManamy, Samuel, Guay, Langlois, Cate.Hebert, Fortier, Lomas and Gordon.In attendance Mr.F.Griffith assistant Secretary-Treasurer.The minutes of jirevious meeting were read and aproved.- U TLl His Worship asked that the business for which they were called be proceeded with.Mr.Griffith then read the following letter from the Gas & Water Company :— Juno 17th, 181)7.To the Mayoramt Ciruneil of the City of sherl>rooke.Gknti.kmkx The directors of this company ben toncknow ledne the now resolution of ihe 4'ity Council dated the 7lh inst which has been laid before them for consideration.Immediately on receipt of the ( ouncil s pro vions resolution of May 3rd.ft moot inn of the shareholders of the company was called, at Which the subject manor of the resolution was fully discussed, and the transfer

assured that no such removal would ho consul en d by the Council voted to accept the recoin, inondation of the directors, and authorized them to dispose of the works by arbitration.Relieving that all difficulties were removed, the directors ootitled the Council thai they wero prepared to carry out the resolution.They an now met with an otter of a detinue amount, which dm-* not represent the value of the works, and which Ihe directors do not feel at liberty tooonsider.The reasons for this otter am stat d to be the delay which it is assumed would bo involved In preparation for arbitra lion, nod

su.Secretary.Hia Worship—You have heard this letter.What action should be taken on it.Councillor McManamy—I have a motion to submit.Councillor Lomas—I think we should fyle that letter before we proceed further.Councillor McManamy—It will be taken notice of in the mihutes as having been read He then presented the following motion :— That whereas the Gas & M ater Co., of this cltv.refit-*- to

he taken to put into one ration the building of a water works suitable to meet the present requirements of this city.Councillor Hebert seconded.was a very generous offer indeed, they took their offer at that figure the whole system would have to be gone over, and a large sum would have to be expended to bring them up to the requirements of the city.Mr.Beaudry advocated a new system entirely, and he ought to know.He did not see why they should go to arbitration when it would cost them 810,000 in getting experts to make the calculation, and he always found that these experts were in sympathy with companies as against corporations.There was no doubt hut what it would cost them $20,000 more than they were actually worth.There would also be considerable delay.They had been one year at the business, and they had not made one step in advance since then.His Worship said that with reference to the peculiar wording of resolution at the special water company.He was present at that meeting and for the information of Councillor Gordon he would point out that if the company declined to make a straight otfer no steps would be gained, and the members of the committee wished to have added to the resolution that they would arbitrate in case they would not fix a figure.Councillor McManamy—I, as a member of the committee hold that there was nothing binding me to arbit ation.His Worship—I don’t mean to say you were committed, but it was generally- understood by the rest of the members that they would agree to arbitration.Councillor McManamy said that he would not go into the inefficiency of the water works because that was fully under-st -od by the citizens, but he would endeavor to show how tlie city should have control of its own water system.Ho read a letter from the Mayor of Connwall who stated that it was generally the case that citizens gave away their franchise to a company for a mere nothing and in a few years bought them hack for an exorbitant sum.Councillor Guay asked how long arbitration proceedings would take.His Worship said that in the ordinary course of events it would take from three to four months, and each party would have to pay their own costs.They would be bound down to the decision of the arbitrators.Councillor Cato said that he was not present at the last meeting, and he would like to make a few observations as the matter was a very important one and required careful consideration.He noticed from the reports of the meeting the other night that several of the councillors had spoken of delay and to-night they had also mentioned that.That was dealing ith matters that was altogether away from the point of issue.If the property was worth a lesser sum than tl*»t mentioned in the motion he would not be willing to give them more than it was really worth.They could only arrive at a proper figure by arbitration.The Council was committed to the taking over of the water works in some form, but if the Council would not agree to arbitra tion but go in for a new system of their own it would kill and destroy the present system.As understood the report of the siH>cial water committee, and he believed everybody inside and outsitie the Council did the same, that the Council was committed to arbitration.The members should look this matter fairly in the face and accept the price to lie agreed U|>on by arbitration.It was certainly understood by by everybody that the company were willing that thecity should arbitrate.Councillor Gordon had stated that there was a change in the position of certain of the members and certain objections were urged in reference to arbitration, that they had made no further advance than was made a year ago, that arbitration had been mooted a couple of months ago and they were no further advanced, that it would tie a waste of time as they wanted to take over the works at once.It seemed to him that with regard to advance that they had made an advance since a year ago, and the whole question did not lie with the water company.The company no doubt preferred to continue the works but no one could blame them for that.There was a strong feeling in the Council and out of it that the city should take over the water a-ork and a proposition was made to the company, with the addition that if necessary they would arbitrate.He could take no other meaning from the last clause of the resolution submitted to the company than that the city was willing to go to arbitration.Councillor McManamy said he would like to hear his interpretation of the clause.Councillor Cate said that there could lie no other meaning taken from the clause than that if a price could not tie agreed upon that the city would be willing to ar b irate.The company accepted the proposition and said that they would hand it over at once.He held that an advance had been made and the company had met them all along and as a matter of fact they had cansented to everything that the city had asked fur.They said they were ready to hand over the works at once and if a price could nut lie agreed upon by-mutual consent that they would arbitrate on them.It seemed to him therefore that every progress had been made, and he thought they should deal in a fair and equitable way with the company.An other objection was made that it was now two months since they begun the negotiations with regard to arbitration, but he thought the work had been gone about as expeditiously as possible under the cir-cumstanc s.He did not think that these were sincere objections.They were now going to work and acquire works of their own and that would tak considerable time, whereas as the Mayor had suggested, the matter could be settled in two or three months, and have the works under their own control by arbitra tion.He thought that when the Council took up a matter of this kind that they should treat it with the same fairness and equity that they would expect to receive themselves in any business transaction.This was a matter before the Council of which there was no indication of any obstruction on the part of the company and it seemed to him that when there was no evidence shown that these gentlemen did not mean to act up to the agreement they shouL’ be treated in a spirit of fairness and justice.He did not believe in taking these gentlemen—as was stated at a previous meeting—hy the throat and saying to them that we will destroy your enterprise.It was stated that $75,000 was more than the works were worth.Why were they they to pay the company more than they were worth ?He for one would certainly be opposed to paying more than they were worth, and to settle the real value of them they must have the opinion of experts.They had the report of Mr.Lesage of sixteen years ago, and Mr.Beaudry did not attempt to criticise the works.Mr.McManamy himself had stated that Mr.Beaudry’s figures were too much.That was the same reason that they should have experts' opinion.Take the case of Cornwall.The city offered the company $70,000 and the com pany asked something like double that but when it went to arbitration the figure was fixed at $80,000.That was the only way of arriving at such a conclusion.They wanted something that they could rely upon, something that the Council would be justified in submitting to the ratepayers.He had never heard of any expert deciding against corporations, and no man with a reputation would do such a thing.Arbitration was the only possible way to arrive at a definite conclusion and the water company having agreed to this would facilitate matters greatly.The Council had to be very careful how they dealt with matters of this kind for if they were not done in a fair and equitable manner gentlemen w-ith money to invest would be very chary to lend their assistance to any object if this matter was cirriod through in such a high handed manner.It would spoil the credit of the city w ith outsiders.He was certaiuly opposed to any such measure as indicated in the motion.Councillor McManamy said that he supposed it was his right to reply to Councillor Cate.They made the company an offer of $75,000 which was not a very small sum, but the company said that they were bound to arbitrate before we would take over the works.He thought that some of the Councillors who were talking about taking the company by the throat would find that if matters were allowed to go on as they have been doing in the past that it was the city that was held by the throat.It was also said that they were crushing out a company.Weil they were just doing what was being done in all parts of the Dominion by other cities who were taking over the control of the water works by arbitration or purchase.Thecity of Sherbrooke had opened its eyes and was going to provide for itself.The city had been in swaddling clothes and it was time that it wasdeclaring itself.The profits of this company would pay the interest on the whole of the city s debt.The company had a profit of $14,000 out of a small place like this where three-fourths are the working class who lived by their labor.It might mean only one or two dollars to each but that was quite an item to them.He then referred to the report by Dr.Johnston and two other doctors and said that in 1890 it was reported that the water in the reservoir should be constantly renewed and flushed so that the sedementary matter would fall to the bottom and not go into the service pipes.There was no need for him to go into detail.Dr.Johnston in his report said that the intake pipe was crude and unsatisfaotorv, and the practice of hiding it and allowing it to look after itself from one years end to the other had nothing whatever to recommend itself.If it had been Granger & Co., that they were deali- g with, he for one would not have asked to buy the water works, but would have voted for to have one of their own.He could not agree with Mr.Cate that the present company met them Every move made they had to drag them along.Al first they refused to entertain the idea of selling unless the whole thing was bought.When they atiproached them first the company treated them in not altogether a friendly way.Mr.Lomas said that as Mr.Sangster was present he might be able to give them an opinion as to what had been done in connection with the water works.'THE5 r.A.\V.livndin.in yesterday while

There is hope, yes more than hope ; there is a new life for you and freedom from all pain and agony if you give that heaven-sent remedy line’s Celery Compound, a fair and honest trial.It has completely cured the worst forms of rheumatism in the past, and its great and precious virtues will do the same good work for you today.To those who suffer from that merciless tormentor, neuralgia, we say, with all candor, use Paine’s Celery Compound, and your future will soon be happy and bright.This disease always indicates low or depressed vitality, and is the most agonizing and exhausting that can afllict the nervous system.The ablest physi ciaus now freely prescribe Paine's Celery Compound for Neuralgia and affirm that no other medicine can so completely eradicate the cause of this terrible disease.One bottle of the great health-giving medicine will produce cheering results and will prove that our advice is golden.May heaven give you sufficient faith to make a trial.Tbtee young tueu named.Geo.Lesmers O.Rliis and F Gosselin were brought to Sheibr.sike on Saturdry morning by Bai lid Nutt and afterwards brought before Chief Magistrate Mulvena charged with having sit tire to a building belonging to Henry Taylor of Birchton.It appears that the three young men had hired a rig from a livery stable in Sherbrooke and went for a drive.They had driven to Cooashire, and when returning it is alleged under the iutueuce of liquor they ran into a team belonging to H E Taylor, Eaton C 'nier.Mr.Taylor stooped them and demanded live dollars for to pay the damage done to his rig.As they hid only 40 cents among them their rig was k«pt until they paid the damage, on the were seen wandering around and inquiring w here Mr.Taylor lived.The innj,e of ihe prosecutor was pointed out to them and they evidently t."k it to he the place of the gentleman who htd kep; their team.Shortly afterwards the house of Mr.H.Taylor of Birchton was found to he on fire and lieing around at the time they we e arrested as stated above.They will appear at a pleading diet thiasiuoruiiig an 1 if the evidence is sutficietly strong they will lie remsiiden.MUSHROOM SPAWN.Tk* Id rick Spawn Flak* Spawn — Wkaia t* Grow Mufttirooms.Increased inti resl in mushroom culture ha* elicited a farmer»’ bulletin on the subject from the department of ag-ricnltura.It i« written by William Ful-couer.and follow lug are remarks mads Later ou tli» subject of spawn, which is not wall understood by many prospective cultivators of this edible fungus.The dark colored powder produced in (Treat quantity and diffused from the gills of the mature mushroom is what is called spore».These are in away equiv- J.Poor Blood is starved blood.It shows itself in pale cheeks, white lips, weak digestion, no appetite, exhaustion, lack of nerve force, soft muscles, and, chief of all, weak muscles.Your doctor calls it Anaemia.He will tell you that the weakening weather of summer often brings it on.Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypo-phosphites, will make poor blood rich.It is a food for over-taxed and weak digestion, so prepared that it can easily be taken in summer when Cod-liver Oil or even ordinary foods might repel.SCOTT & BOWNK.IMtofllt.Osl.For sale afsic.and |i.oo by all druggist» Legal Intelligence.COURT OF APPEALS, MONTREAL.A*.1Vooriu\ireople present.It was a great success and everyone enjoyed themselves.Mrs.Adams and Mrs.Scarth received.An excellent orchestra was on hand from Newport and discoursed excellent music.Mrs.C.E.Porteous of Montreal very kindly presented the prizes to the successful competitors at the athletic sports.Mr.Barretto was pre-cented with the bat for the best average during the season, and Mr.H.G.Pattes secured the ball for the best bowling average.TH£ DRUMMOND COUNTY RAILWtf DEAL Hon.Mr.Tarte Hits The Opposition From The Shoulder.In the House of Commons on Saturday when the item of $157,000 to pay the rental of that road for over year came up for discussion the oppi sitiou received some plain talk at the hands of Hot.Mr.Tarte.In the course of bis remarks he said, a short time ago the Government brought duwn to this House a measure providing for the extension of the I.C.R.to Montreal.That measure was fully discussed, and this House of Commons by a majority of 44 declared in favor of it.The upper chamber, acting within their rights I may say, immediately rejected the measure.happened to know the bottom of the reasons of the opposition we have in Montreal.There are rival schema— more than one—by which the I.C.R could be extended to Montreal, First, there is the G.T.R.running from Montreal to Quebec via Richmond.It will be readily admitud that it would be out of the question to make satisfactory arrangements to extend the L C.R.to Montreal by the G.T.R.A bargain, of < ourse, requires two patties to it, and it has been found impossible in the past to make any arrangement with the G.T.R.Company in that direction.Now there is another scheme—the South Shore scheme, part of which is now completed from Montreal to Sorel.It is a road which has been built by Mr.Armstrong and which today is in the bands of Mr.Beauchemin, Mr.Fortier, the Leduc estale, and the Tourville estate.Those parlies acquired the road between Montreal and tiorel from Mr.Armstrong, who failed in this enterprise as in every other enterprise to which he lias attached his name.From Sorel to Levis there is a prospective scheme in the centre of which Mr.Armstrong has achaiter, which has been renewtd during this session.At the end of this prospective road in Montreal there is a scheme to build a bridge between Longueuil and Montreal, a scheme which Mr.Armstrong is connected with, the soul of which is, I say at once, that he has interested in that bridge scheme a certain number of parties in Montreal, amongst others the owner of La Presse newspaper.They are today the possessors of $100,600 in| that scheme, and that is the reason why they are so strongly opposed to our policy.In one word, the policy of the Government is confronted by schemers and by interested parties, who have knifed out policy with the expectation that later on they would put the pistols to our throats.Continuing that man Armstrong having failed to force us to go into his scheme, went to the Flynn G
