occasion MR BAILLAIRGE ON THE SITUA TION.The City Engineer \u201ccomes up smiling in tc-'lay\u2019s issue of the Chronicle.His letter is so amusing, and aeaaonabl and altogether delicious, that it is a great pity he did not let us have it for our Christ mas number.It is quite the best thing we have had in our paper since,\u2014well ain ?8 the last time Mr.Baillairoe wrote to U3.THE HON.W.S.FIELDING.Mr.W.S.Fielding, editor of the Morning Chronicle, Halifax, Nova Scotia an l one of the best journalists in the Maûtime Provinces, has accepted the Lieutenant-Governors invitation to enter his Cabinet as a member of the Govern meat without office.Mr.Fielding has been in public life but a very few months but his long course of newspaper training has so admirably fitted him for parlia mentary work, and kept him en rapport with all the leading movements of the time, that we are sure that he will develop as great prominence in statesmanship as he has done in journalism.We congra tuute our confrere, though really it is the Government which should be congratulated on receiving his services as a colleague.A SALUTARY MEASURE- We understand that the different railway companies in this Province, acting under Provincial charter, have had circular letters addressed to them by Hon.Henry Starnes, Commissioner of Railways, on behalf of the Quebec Government, calling attention to their non-compliance with many important requirements of the Quebec Consolidated Railway Act of 1880, as well as to the fact that persistence in the same may lead to trouble.This timely and energetic action of the Commissioner is all the more important and interesting to the public, because the Act in question contains a vital provision for their protection against the imposition of railway rates that may seem exorbitant and injurious to trade and travel, which jrovision seems te have been cither over ooked or set at naught by the companies since it passed into law.We refer to the enactment, which aims at preventing the sudden and very often incomprehensible enhancement of rates for freight ami passengers by requiring that before going into force and possessing any bindinp effect upon the public, all railway tariffs or modifications of railway tariffs by the companies under Provincial charter shall be first advertised in the Official (lazette for two weeks and then submitted to and approved by the Lieut.-Governor in Council.It seems strange that this salutary precaution for the public protection should have been so long lost sight of, and Mr.Starnes is deserving of hearty and general thanks for reviving and resolving to enforce it.THE ANGLICAN CHURCHES.CHRISTMAS DAY SERVICES.News of tie City and District, THE GREAT RACQUET CONTEST IN NEW YOUR.Gray, (he Champion of England, Defeat* Boake*, of Quebec, the Champion of America.A HARD FIGHT.(S/wria! to thr Morniiuj Chronicle) New York, Dec.2i*\u2014Boake* won the first three game*, playing superbly, hut the severe work tohl ou him, ami Gray wou the next three games.The seventh was brilliantly aad stubbornly contested and was set at thirteen all, amid great excitement.Gray won the set after a hard fight.Such racquet has never beeu seeu before iu New York.Hotel Brunswick, New York, ii.'l Dec.\u2014 The match between Walter Gray and Robert Moore, marker of the New York Racquet Court, was played to-day and resulted in a victory for the English player.Moore was over-matched from the commencement and was beaten four straight games.The play waa wonderfully brilliant from commencement to finish, but Moore could do very little against the fast aad accurate play of his antagonist.It is evident that Boakes has artough job on his.hands in meeting Joseph Gray, and the result of to-day\u2019s match would seem to indicate that his success* is doubtful.He has been playing in good form, however, and will give Joseph Gray enough to do.Moore was somewhat out*of form, as he had not been well of late.The weather on Christmas Day having been exceptionally mild and fine, there were large congregations in all the churches.The Anglican churches, as usual at this festive seasou, were most of them gaily decorated with evergreen.enlivened with appropriate passages ol Scripture from those glati tidings which the angels brought to men at Christmastide.THE ENGLISH CATHEDRAL.No small pains had been taken to beautify the interior of this place] ot worship |for the Christmas services.The whole of the angels\u2019 message to the shepherds was^produced in illuminated lettering bordered with evergreen, and displayed on the front of the galleries.The panels of the pulpit were beautifully covered with red crosses and with the words \u201cKing of Kings, Lord of Lords.\u201d The fronts of the two seta of stalls were prettily covered with evergreen on a white toundation, and bearing on one side the words \u201cGlory to God in the Highest,\u201d and ou the other \u201cChrist is born in Bethlehem.\u201d Behind the communion table was also a very pretty mass of evergreen, the white foundation showing through presenting the apiiearauce of snow upon ttie green boughs.The efforts of the ladies who assisted at these decorations are richly repaid by the pretty effect produced.The service was a bright and hearty oue on Christmas morning, and the sernion was preached by the Lord Bishop of the diocese.The musical portion of the service, which waa in the hands of Mr.K.A.Bishop, organist, and an etficieut choir, waa joyful, and befitting the occasion.The chanting ol the Psalms was very correct and regular.The YV Ileum by H.Gadaby\u2014a difficult work and oue involving a good deal Of careful study\u2014was very well rendered.The Authem was \u201cSing 0 Heavens\u201d by Tours, the soprano solo being very beautifully taken by Miss Home.The quartette was allotted to Miss Home, Miss Smith, Mr.Falkenberg and Mr.Morkill, and was very creditably giveu.In the chorus the \u2022perfonnei* were all well together.On Christmas eve, a choice collection of carols were sung by the choir after evening service.These were all highly appreciated by the congregation, but particularly that entitled \u201cSleep, Holy Babe,\u201d the piano commencement and the subsequent rretremlo being ver marked and pretty.In the authem \u201cHart the Glad Sound,\u201d on Sunday evening, a tenor solo was admirably rendered by Mr.Falken berg.ST.MATTHEW\u2019S CHURCH.There were very attractive musical services St.Matthew's on Christmas day.The programme waa as follows :\u2014

Dublin, on the charge of murdering Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr.Undersecretary Bvrke at Phoenix Park, according to his own confession.No one was able to identify him, and the Crown r.iunsel stated to the authorities that they v>ore satisfied the prisoner could have had nothing to do with the crime.He waa thereupon discharged.When this man was first arrested months ago, the impression generally was that he waa either a knave anxious to get a free passage home at the expense of the Government, or a fool, but no murderer.So it has turned out.Westgate is probably a \u201ccrank,\u201d but there should be some punishment on the statute book for \u201ccranks\u2019 troubled as he has been and is.His discharge, however, deepens the dark mystery which still, despite the thousands of pounds offered as rewards, hangs over that awful butchery in the Park.The villains planned their dastardly deed well, but murder will out, some day, we may be very sure.THE WATER SUPPLY AT THE CAPE.Mr.Philippe Doryal, of the Fire Brigade, has just published the new water works regulations, which go into operation to-day.The Chief is not likely to win much popularity for himself if he has any intention of maintaining them as they stand at present.Already we hear of numerous protests and remonstrances, and in another column of the Mop.ning Chronicle to-day, we print a vigorous and indignant letter from several \u201cResidents of the Cape,\u201d in which their serious grievance is laid bare.The people living in that locality hare a just cause of complaint.A very large revenue is yielded the city annually from thatsource,andyet their supply of water is absolutely less than that of any other part of the town.Why so invidious a distinction should have been made, we are at a loss to understand, but it is not too late now to remedy the evil.We draw Mr.Dorval\u2019s attention to the matter this morning, so that he can issue orders this afternoon to his men to give the residents of the Cape their usual supply of water.From 5 to ü p.m.is altogether too brief a limit for the water to be turned on, and the Chief will see this himself, we are very sure.It will be in order for him now to announce that the limit will be extended another hour at the very least.-'A\u201d Battery Xmas Dinner.!.Through the kindness of the commanding officer of \u201cA\" Battery, we proceeded to the Citadel, Christmas Day, to go round the rooms snd inspect the dinners, and never has it been our good fortune to see anything to surps the exhibit of Monday in this good old garrison town.In the days of the British regulars it has often been our pleasure to visit the Jesuit Barracks, the Artillery Barracks and the Citadel Barracks on these occasions ; and itis pleas-ing*to see that our Canadian regulars are not only not a whit behind their p'redeoessors in arms, but that in good cheer and in everything that goes to make the soldier comfortable, not cniy coaid nothing excel, but on no previous occasion in our memory has the exhibition of Monday been equalled.Unfortunately through some error the Minister of Militia did not receive bis invita-Von, but the representatives of every corps in this garrison put in an appearance, headed by Col.Duchesnay, D.A.G., in uniform.Exactly at half-past one o\u2019clock, therefore, the Deputy Adjutant-General, attended by Col.Irwin, Inspector of Artillery, and a largo staff of ladies and gentlemen in addition to the officers of the garrison, started on their round*, the first visited, being the mounted division, in their gun shed.To do justice to this datffehment would occupy a column of itself-; - the tables first of si] loaded with the good things of this world, the mounted trumpeter in his tent, reminding one of the entrance to the Horse Guards in Whitehall, only much prettier, the different corners of the shed exquisitely decorated with their illuminated fronts of burnished bits and chains, flanked by hundreds of candles, then the centre lamp made from the collar chains which really looked like a crystal chaidelier, shining with diamonds\u2014lit up the whole in a marvelous manlier.Next we visited the right division in the gymnasium, which was beautifully decorated with flags, mottoes, 4c., 4c., the tables groaning under not only the solid meats, but exquisite large centre cakes, which gave one the idea of innumerable wedding breakfasts.Toasts were the order of the day here, Col.Irwin, Col.Cotton, Capt.Wilson, Capt.Peters, Capt.Drury, and the ladies of the Battery being severally proposed amid cheers that would almost make these old casemates shake.The other rooms were all visited in turu, but every one felt that the men were unnecessarily being kept waiting for their good Xmas dinner, so further visits were cut short.We congratulate the \u201cA\u201d Battery on their splendid exhibit of comfort on Xmas day.WINTER NAVIGATION.The \u201c Folger \u201d has succeeded in establishing the theory of winter navigation.The little steamer left our port on Christmas morning, at eight o\u2019clock, and reached Murray Bay, after encountering forty miles of snow and ico, at ten o\u2019clock in the evening.She passed through ico fields until Slibhin'a Mills were made, and after that it was clear water to Murray Bay.A great \u2022leal of interest was taken in the success of this trip, by our people, many of whom of course regarding it as a somewhat chimerical experiment.It has beeti accomplished, we believe, for the first time in our history, and what has been done can, of course, be performed again.The Government has \u2022encouraged tbs Company to the extent of live thousand dollar»\u2014one thousand dollars being granted as a bonus every month for five months.Mr.Cimon, M.P., has had the scheme in hand for a long while, and it is to his persistency, we understand, that the Government was induced to help the WHO IS HE Mil.A.P.EHOiVICfT IN TOWN.Not the Secretary oi the Freuch Legation in London.Oo Friday evening last a gentleman arrived in town who registered himself at the St.Louis Hotel as \u201cA.Berguiot, Freuch Embassy, Loudon.\u201d The newly arrived member of the Embassy was of course quickly pounced upon by a number of leading families, just as \u201cdistinguished\u201d strangers alwaysare iu small cities, and Monsieur immediately fonnd himself in good society and introduced at our principal resort.An extensive order was given to Mr.J.B.Laliberte for costly furs, and there was tall talk of a European draft for the necessary fnnds.Somebody \u201csmelt a rat\u201d however.Notwithstanding that Monsieur was supposed to be the Secretary of the French Embassy in London, his name did not appear in the official list of the Ambassador\u2019s

Ffnehal of the Late Sir Hugh Allan.\u2014Several Quebecers left town last night to attend the funeral in Montreal this afternoon of the late Sir Hugh Allan.The Roads.\u2014The roads are still fearfully bad, and continue to be fall of holes both in the city and country.Ou the principal city streets there seems to be little or no mending this winter.Trinity Chprch\u2014The members of the choir of Trinity Church, have presented their organist.Miss Hcthrington.with a valuable pair of earrings anil brooch, as a mark of the esteem in which that lady is held by them, \u201cThe

Mr.P.Mallin, with a handsome gold chain, as well as a meerschaum pipe and other requisites for a smoker, accompanied with an address in English ami French.Girls\u2019 Hi oil School\u2014Previous to

throughout, and Mr.Martin is deserving of credit for the careful training which he has bestowed upon it.The decorations of the church were exceptionally pretty.ST.PETER\u2019S CHURCH.This little church was prettily decorated for the Christmas season.The altar was covered with a handsome white cloth with red bands, and upon the front of the cover were the words \u201cHoly, Holy, Holy.\u201d The pulpit was handsomely decorated with ferns, &c., upon a white ground, and the front covered in colored paper aud evergreen, berries, 4c., was specially pretty.Appropriate verses such as \u201cFear not, I bring you good tidings of great joy,\u201d \u201c{Into you is born this day in theeity of David, a Saviour which is Christ the Lord,\u201d \u201cGlory to God in the Highest,\u201d &c., occupied prominent places upon the walls.The preacher was the Rector, Rev.M.M.Fothergill, and the offertory, in aid of the poor of the parish was a liberal one.The musical portion of the service by Miss Andrews, organist, and the choir, was very attractive.The psalms were really w»U chanted, the Te Deum difficult as it was, also went off well and the same may be said of all the hymns and responses; the Anthem \u201cThe Grace of God\u201d was, however, the gem of the service, aud was most beautifully rendered, the solos being taken by Miss Jessie Martin, alto, and Mr.Mainguy tenor.Both solos were nicely given, Miss Martin having rarely Seen heard to such good advantage.Her singing of the solo was qnite artistic.A request has been made for the Anthem to be repeated next Sunday morning.We hope it will be complied with.TRINITY CHURCH.There was a very hearty service on Christmas morning in this church, but no decorations.The officiating clergyman was the Rector, Rev.Mr.Ker, who preaobed an eloquent sermon on theChritamas festival.The singing was very good and was much admired.Mia* Hethrington, the organist of the church, presided at the organ, in addition to the usual Christmas hymns the anthem \u201cThe Grace of God\u201d was sung by the choir in an efficient manner.ST.MICHAEL\u2019S.Appropriate Christmas services were also held in St.Michael's Church, Bergervi(le, which was prettily decorated for the occasion, ST.PAUL\u2019S.The Christmas services' in this church were also very bright and hearty.The Viceregal Tour.N^W York, Dec.24\u2014The Tribune\u2019s correspondence San Francisco, Dec.Iff :\u2014\u201cThe event of the week has been the magnificent reception given to Christine Nilsson.Itis her first visit to the coast, and naturally enough everyone who had not beard her at the East or in Europe was eagar to seize the opportunity offered here even at the high Klee*.When it was known that the Princess uise and Marquis of Lome would be in attendance the excitement reached the dimensions of a craze, and on the first night 820 each was paid for $4 seats in the dress circle.The Grand Opera House, which resembles Booth\u2019s Theatre in many ways, was crowded to the top of its highest gallery, anil the audience was brilliant, though somewhat overdressed.The Viceregal party occupied a stage-box arranged specially for them and draped with the British and American colours.The Princess sat in the corner of the box nearest the audience, but invisible to the greater part of the house.She was simply dressed, but seemed to be in better health than when she arrived here early in the autumn.By her side, but a little in the background, sat the Marquis, so that it is doubtful whether many spectators caught more thau a glimpse of his face.The members of the suite, however, were qot retiring.They faced the full glare of hundreds of opera-glasses with great complacency, fhe lady-iu-waiting, \u201ca rather h&rd-featured girl who sat at the front of the box, opposite the Princess, and was the most conspicuous person in the house,\u201d had the satisfaction of posing as royally during the entire evening.It was very amusing to hear the comments on her appearance by ladies in the audience, who were fully persuaded that they were criticising the daughter of a Queen.Even some of the newspaper reporters, who ought to have known better, fell into the same blunder.Mme.Nilsson\u2019* reception was enthusiastic on the first night, and it was even warmer on her second appearance Thursday night.Mr.Abbey estimates his receipts at from i\u201928,000 to 830,UOO for the four performances, which, con- sidering the size of the city, may be called very good.On Tuesday the party paid a visit to ex-Governor Stanford\u2019s country seat, at Mento Park, and on the following day visited his beautiful bouse on Rob Hill, now deserted and gloomy, with it* drawn curtain^ and padlocked gates.The Princess has received a characteristic gift from the Governor.It consists of a pair of blanket# of the finest California wool, made at the Golden Gate Mills in this city, and adorned with the royal monogram worked in colors.California blankets are well known for their softness of texture, but these were the finest ever turned out on this coaçt.Governor Stanford left an order for their manufacture before bis reçent departure for the east.In return the royal party visited the mills and were mocb interested in the machinery.The Viceregal party Left Monterey this morning for Sauta Barbara by rail and stage.It is expected that after a short stay there they will go to Los Angelos and the southern country.\"SvcsurAtipk.Quick, eonrplete cure, all MUrfying Kidney Eladder and Urinary DilflAft $1.Druygisfc Mr.Clod.Deiisle presiding at the organ.A solo in the

Evenino.\u2014Mr.Du quet, at the request of si large number of per sons unable to attend the former sales, will continue them this evening, when in addition fo the splendid stock of go]d and silver ware genuine watches with guarantee, jewellery, bronze and other clocks and numerous other high class goods, he will offer an assortment of splendid New Year\u2019s presents, now on the way to arrive this morning.This will be the last chance of getting such really sterling goods at auction prices.The sale will be conducted rs heretofore every article offered fully guaranteed and nothing reserved.Re collect, sale this evening, at seven o'clock On view all day, at Duquet\u2019s, The Jolly Pathfinders,\u2014There was fair attendenre in the Music Hall last night at the performance given by Rentfrow\u2019i musical comedy company, the Jolly Path finders, in their musical absurdity entitled \u201cScraps.\u201d The title of the performance quite applicable.There is music and some of it pretty pood too, but there is a good deal of absurdity.This is of course to be expected in all these comedy or extravaganza perform ances, so that those who attend have no right to feel disappointed, and particularly when aq on the occasion of last night, the programme advertised is so faithfully ad hered to.The audience, except in those absurdities where the time dragged for a whil#,2 and everybody yawned, was very much amused, aud this was instanced by the repeated roars of laughter which echoed through the house.The following is an explanation of the performance :\u2014A party of ladies and gentlemen going on a steamboat excursion, arrive near the boat landing, and finding they have two hours and a quarter to wait before the departure of the boat, pro pose to pass the time away with songs dances, represeu tat ions, 4c.The amusement of the party is made all the more enjoyable by the|8urrounding9 and stupid, blundering awkwardness of their neuro attendant.Mr J.N.Rentfrow as Claude, the negro atten dont, was wonderfully good, and well worth seeing.He was in fact the life of the whole affair.Mr.Harry Mills was also enjoyable in his Qerman songs and sketches, and Smith ami Leopold in their unrivaled performances on a variety of curious musical combinations are well worth sitting oqt the rest of the evening to hear.The performance will be repeated to-night.Is St.Patrick\u2019s'Church there waa no midnight Maas, but from 5.30 up to 9 a.m., low masses were celebrated continuously, each priest availing himself of the right granted to all priests on Christmas day of celebrating three masses.At ten o'clock High Mass was celebrated by Very Rev.Father Lowekamp, C.SS.R.rector, assisted by Rev.Fathers Rien and Corduke, as Deacon and Sub-Deacon, Reverend fa\u2019ather Cronyn acting aa master of ceremonies.After the Gospel of the mass in the daytime.St.John I, 1-14, had been recited in a low tone of voice by tlje priest-celebrant and * afterwards chanted aloud by the Deacon, Rev.F.Burke ascended the pulpit, and having read the gospel of the first mass of the morniug iknowu as \u201cthe first moss at midnight\u201d jst.Luke II, 1-14, he selected as his text the lat> tei /erse aud applying the chorus of the Angels to the festival being celebrated, he showed how our Saviour had glorified the Father in his mercy, his wisdom, his power and bis love, and also showed what the (teace was that He had come to yatablish among men and the means of obtaining the same.At the conclnsion of the sermon the Nicene Creed was entoned by the celebrant and recited by him whilst it was taken up ami chanted by the choir ; as is required on Christmas day, the celebrant and his attendants advanced to the foot of the altar and knelt there during the words \u201cand was made man,\u201d the entire congregation at the same time being also in the same posture of veneration.The musical portion of the mass, which was Gregorian harmonized by Perrault, was Very well rendered by a full choir with orchestral accompaniment by the St.Patrick\u2019s Total Abstinence Band under the leadership of Professor McKernan, Mr.Adolphe Hamel, of course, presiding at the organ, and the principal solos being given by Mr.D.Murray.At the Offertory the beautiful Adesle Fideles was excellently rendered by a double quartette composed of Messrs.Lane, Duggan, Duhig, Graham, Mayer, Ousler.Shields and Carbray.The solo was taken by Mr.P.Lane, the duet by Messrs.Lane and P.M.Duggan and the trio by Messrs.Mayer, Duhig and Carbray, All took their parts remarkably well.At the Communion the Domine Salvum for the Queen, Mr.Murray singing the solo, was rendered in excellent style.A pleasing incident took place on Christmas eve when the organist, Mr.Adolphe Hamel, was waited upon by the junior members of Sr.Patrick\u2019s choir, who presented him with a very beautifully worded address, accompanied b\u2019y a souvenir of the kindness with which he had always treated them in the shape of a very band-some inkstand.MOTHERS !

it patiently abides its time, and on the relaying of the carpet issues forth with double force.After searching tbe entire bouse for a jwiper ot tacks, without success, the unfortunate man drops on his hands and knees to begin, and immediately discovers four tacks at least, and as he rolls over and sits down to extract these, finds the rest pf the paper dirtctly under him, and then, unless he is a man accustomed to put up stoves and join stovepipes the chances of laying the carpet on that evening are slight.In selecting tacks from a saucer he always inspects the points with his fore-finger, as the tack instantly loses its head when they come to blows.In argument the tack is sharp and pointed, but the display of either or both, depends largely on the amount of Sressure employed by its opponent.In irect contrast w> a good ioke, the amusement generally begins before you see the point, and this tact is easily demonstrated by walkiog tbe floor in your stocking feet, a well-kept room on such an occasion averaging two tacks to the square foot.The future of the tack gives great promise of more extended usefulness and unlimited possibilities, as several of our most eminent college professors, having carefully studied the effect of a sharp tack of reasonable length placed properly in a chair or under a cot, are about to introduce tacks, aud do away with springboards in our college gymnasiums.Gaining a World Wide Reputation.About 150,000 bottles of medicine and 3,000 Spirometers, tbe invention of M.SouvieUe\u2019, of Paris, and ex-aide -Surgeon ottbe French army, hi*ve been used by physicians and patiente during the last year for the cure of catarrh, catarrhal deafness, bronchitis, asthma, con-sumption in its first stages and many diseases of the head, throat and lungs, and nearly half the abovo amount during the lait three months showing a great increase in the demand.Consultations with any of the surgeons belonging to tho Institute free.Poor people showing certificates can havo spirometers tree.Write enclosing stamp.for pamphlet giving fail information to either of the Canadian offices where competent English and French specialists are always in charge.Address, International Threat id Li and Lung Institute, 13, Phillips\u2019 Square, Montreal, P.Q., or 173, Church Street, Toronto, Ont.December 25.1882.janlô-Lm-d4w SMOKIE PROVINCIAL B.BOUDE & CO.December 19,1882, Cm on the Capital of the Bank, on the GINGRAS& LANGLOIS 4til day of January, 1883 27, 29 & 31, ST.JOHN STREET.December 21, 1832.\tN to the Proprietors of Shares registered in the Colonies.The Dividend will be payable at the rate of Exchange current on the 4th day of January, 1883, to b) fixed by tbe Managers.No transfers can be made between the 20th instant and tbe 4th prox., as ths books must be closed during that period, f By order of tbe Court, A.G.WALLIS, Secretary.No.3, Clement\u2019s Lane, Lombard St., London, E.O., 6th December, 1882.December 22, 1882.\tF HUNDREDS HAVE SAID IT -THAT THE- Largest aad Host Handsome Stock OF FRENCH AN0 ENGLISH ISTMAS, NEW YEAR\u2019S -AND- BIRTHDAY CARDS ! ARE TO BE SEEN AT GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY.HEAD-er at their disposal, can always have the last word and make it appear that they have come ont scatheless from the contest ; bat as the late firs at Frovans\" in John street, fully bears me out, I must now crave of you the opportunity of settling right that portion of the public, though only an inconsiderable one, I believe, who not reading my letters or incapable of judging for themselves, may have been led to believe by the comments that i am the incendiary you would fain make me out to be.The line of argument that led the editor to so interpret the incriminated paragraph of my communication to the City Council as to put a fire down as a btesaiog, and go on to say that, therefore, according to me, every fire must be a blessing, might have led him still further, and it often happens that only in this way\u2014going to extremes\u2014can the \u201creduc-tio ad absurdum\u201d be arrived at ; for instance : A fire being a good thing, and what is good for the one being equally so for the many, and as there can be no harm\u2014quite the contrary\u2014in doing a good thing, every citizen should fire his premises and reduce the city to ashes.No, sir, I am not an incendiary as the editorial weald have it ; nor did 1 say the fire was a blessing, as the expression coaid hardly have been warranted by the comparative unimportance of the occasion.The destruction of neirs Leaycraft\u2019s ruins, the dangerous pate of old wooden buildings composing the block between Arthur, Dalhouaie aud Leadenhall streets and Bell\u2019s Lane, and even the apparently snbetaotial and fire-proof building opposite, which, however, was far from being so and in reality a mere shell made up of four thin walls, not having the consistency of even keeping together after the intervening wood work was gone.I say.and so does every one that U not personally interested as an underwriter or a penny-a-liner holding their views, that the removal in time of this block of wooden buildings must be deemed a boon to the city, and to the proprietors themselves, as no one could be found to purchase, for purposes of improvement, with the old buildings on the site which will now sell for more money than before the fire ; and I might have said, though I did not use the expression, that this fire most be considered a blessing, inasmuch as it may be the prevention of a far greater evil iu the future,the destruction, some day, through this very nest of combustibles, of the valuable property likely to be erected all around it ohaer the fostering influence of the new docks, and joint terminus of the Grand Trunk, Intercolonial and Canadian Pacific Railways.Since the Chronicle\u2019s half page editorial and host of letters from insurance agents on the subject of my communication, hundreds of our first citizens have congratulated me on boldly proclaiming the truth\u2014the only derogatory remarks being, perhaps a well-merited one\u2014that my going in as I did on the \u201cProvidential tack\u201d would lead outsiders to believe we are an unprogressive people, always waiting for Providence to do something for ns, which unfortunately is but too true.I only said what scores were sayir.g all around mo, what I have heard a hundred times on like occasions, at Provans\u2019 and elsewhere : \u201cA good riddance, a fortunate occurrence ; the property.will now sell and can befimproved on : it will sell better than before, now that it is cleared of all incumbrances and the coet saved of paying for the removal of the old buildings.\u201d This is undeniable ; the proprietors know it themselves, as if they feign to disbelieve it, out of deference to the susceptibilities of the uuderwriters, they will cot be long in finding oat that I am in the right.I hold this opinion and proclaim it against all comers.I shall be found unswerving and not to be coaxed or bullied into altering my views ; no more than after my letter to the press ament the sale of our railroad, I should have been found to waver in mv opinion.My opinions cue founded on long and well poised experienced honesty of purpose and common sense.I am no weather-cock, as so many are who will write an article one day, and for $5 contradict it the next.say now that the fire at Provans\u2019 will result in a benefit, a blessing if you like, to the city.Twenty years ago when I was in the City Council, I strongly advocated the purchase at the small figure of only £600, of some fifteen feet of this block, 75 feet frontage, to begin the widening of St.,John street, which would render a tire on one side of it leas likely to strike the other, and I now again call on our City Council to lie alive in tho matter and not let this chance escape them of beginmog this mosfc indispensable improvement.The whole city is full of thes« rockenea and if the insurances want to know the truth I can tall them fairly and squarely that they are to blame for their continued existence.Are the underwriters not cute enough to see the immense incentives there are to incendiarism, in the case of all old buildings which r'*.r\\ qq longer hold their own against the hand of time, bat where if demolished by the usual process, the insuranoc money would be Lord Duflerin and Smith.Alexander \u201c BOUGH ON BATS.Clears out rats, mioe.roaches.Hies, ants, bed bugs, skunks, chipmunks, gophers.15 cents.Prugifists.Men who have money to loan take the greatest possible interest in their business.If you would rheumatism foil, Provide, in time, St.J acob\u2019s Oil.The use of iron can notincreaasthe running qualities of a dog, bnt tin can.*Lydi» E.Pinkhnm\u2019s Vegetable Compound cares all female complaints by removing the cause.A Michigan horse ate ten pounds of starch without feeling very much stuck up.Mr.E.A.Robbins, 118 Putnam Street, New Haven, Conn., was cured by St.Jacob\u2019s Oil of a severe attack of rheumatism in the shoulder The traveller in England always notices a singular anomaly\u2014the weather is always wet and the people are always dry.EaT Nothing se simple and perfect for color ing as the Diamond Dyes.For carpet rags, better and cheaper thin any other dye-stuffs.\u201cJulia, my little cherub, when does your sister Emma return ?\u201d Julia\u2014\u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d Didn\u2019t she say anything before she went away ?\u201d Jnlia\u2014\u201cShe said, if you came to see her, that she\u2019d be gone till doomsday.\u201d Lewis G.Folger, Esq., 25 Elizabeth Street.Cincinnati, says he was cured by St.Jacob\u2019s Oil of a very severe attack ot neuralgia in twenty minutes.The Cingalese Hair Renewer is [applied with asismreor a brush, and it never fails in its good effsets on the hair.Sold at 50 cents per b >ttle by K.McLeod.\td&w It is a law among certain tribes of Indians that a widow must remaia four years before remarrying.It is unnecessary to state that a wemau of those nations is very careful of a husband while she has one in the house.Cingalese, a came well and favorably known in connection with a Hair Renewer that accomplishes even better results than is advertised Sold at 50 cents i>er bottle bv R.McLeod, d&w Ladies who wear cockroach ornaments can get a supply in any well regulated newspaper office.Until fashion stepped in with the information, no editor ever knew what cockroaches were for.Years of suffering may be avoided by taking Dr.Van Buren's Kidney Cure.It was never known to fail in relieving at once, and effecting a complete cure of diseases of the Kidneys, For sale by R.McLeod.\td&w \u201cWhat kind of a picture wonld you prefer, miss ?\u201d inquired a photographer of a young lady customer.\u201cWell,\u201d was the reply, \u201ctake me with an expression as if I were writing a poem on love.\u201c The Milwaukee (Wis.)

the first occasion on which we ever heard the name of Lord Duflerin.It was from the lips of Alexander Smith, and on the occasion of his return from a visit which the author of the \u201cLife Drama\u201d had paid to Inverary, where he was the guest of the Duke of Argyll, Of all the members of the party assembled at the castle no one had made such a profound impression on Smith as the young Irishman who at that time was quite unknown to fame, for he had not yet issued,the \u201cLetters from High Latitudes\u201d which first brought his lord-ship into public notice.We well remember tlie quiet enthusiasm with which tho Glasgow bard spoke of the Irish peer ; and it was easy to see that Lord Dufferin, like Lord Daer to Burns, had met Smith on thorough terms of equality, and won his heart, not merely by his intellectual brilliancy, but also by his single, unaffected, brotherly feeling.The two had taken to each other ; an\u2019d our Blue Ribbon friends must think badly of them when we tell them how regularly each morning after breakfast Lord Dufferin and Smith took a long stroll together up Glen Aray, the walk always terminating at a certain place where a good glass of \u201cthe wine of the North\u201d was to be obtained.This was probably all the more appreciated on account of the fact that even then temperance drinks were in vogue at the castle, which, it is to be feared, neither the peer nor the poet greatly relished.It would be of no small interest today if we were able to report the dialogues of Dufferra and Alexander Smith on those forenoon walks from Loch Fyne to Loch Awe, which the two young men so greatly enjoyed thirty years ago.Only one of the two has been spared to fulfil the highest hopes of admiring friends ; and it is a point of some value that Alexander Smith gave us in those days an estimate of Lord Dufferin, which his lordship's brilliant achievements in Canada and in the East have no more than confirmed.On the other hand, it was a fine tribute to the young Scottish poet that, in ttfé midst of a brilliant company in a castle where intellectnal and moral worth counts for more than titular distinctions.Smith was singled out for special tokens of goodwill by the man who now stands at the head of all the ambassadors who speak at foreign Courts in the name of Great Britain.\u2014Library Notes in Glasqow Daily Mail.PALMER\u2019S MURDERERS.CAPTURE OF THE ARABS WHO SHOT THE ENGLISH TRAVELLER.London, Dec.23\u2014A telegram received at the Admiralty Office from Suez says She-dide reports from the Desert that he has captured Ali Showeyer and Salimahn, the former of whom shot Professor Palmer.Colonel Warren has gone to Nackl to examine the prisoners.Ha thinks Shedide will eventually secure tho re:nainder of the murderers of Professor Palmer\u2019s party.Shedide has taken possession of all the water-ways, but the rains have supplied the necessities of the Bedouins and enable them to show fight from the mountains.The Sheika of Jorebin have undertaken to assist in capturing all the persons implicated in the murders.the search.Colonel Warren, R.E., whose work in Kaf-fraria and Palestine exploration specially fitted him for the post, had been appointed to superintend the search, and went down in a gunboat to Tor and Akaha ports on each side of the venue to try and collect information.Nothing conld be learned beyond the vaguest rumors.The chief obstacle in the way of the inquiries was the Governor of Nackl, who was one of Arabi a warmest adherents and whose post.was the objective point of Palmer\u2019s expedition, being situated about one hundred miles east of Suez.After Tel-el-Kebir orders were sent for his removal, which he completely defied.At last a party of 150 Bedouins was collected, representatives of every tribe in the Nile desert, and Colonel Warren, together with a newly appointed governor, proceeded on a somewhat perilous mission.On their way they passed Wady Sudr.and there discovered the genuine scene of the murder, and collected the relics of the murdered men.At Nakhl Colonel Warren found the most absolute scepticism as regards the British triumph, and every preparation for a desperate resistance.Luckily lie had with him the provisions intended for the six months' revictnalling of the garrison, and rejecting his escort\u2019s advice to send it in as a means of propitiation, he threatened to burn the whole of it if any act of hostility was committed.Thereupon a parley ensued and the garrison were at last persuaded of Arabi\u2019s defeat.The new Governor was installed, the old one placed in confinement and Colonel Warren panned his searches northward till he debonched on to lamatlia.He has ascertained the names of the five actual murderers, and of twenty-four men concerned in the attack.One of the witnesses was present and describes the crime.The five unfortunate captives were placed in a row on the brink of a hill, and were there simultaneously shot by five men at a few yards\u2019 distance, when their bodies were thrown down the abyss.The Springfield fle/tubliran tells how a gentleman took from his pocket after dinner a pair

has interest for humankind ; the events, the deeds and misdeeds, the wisdom, the philosophy, the notable folly, the solid ssuho, the improving nonsense\u2014all the news of the busiest world at present revolving in space.Because people have leuuied that in its remarks concerning persons and affairs Thk Sun makes a practice of telling them the exact truth to the best of its ability three hundred and sixty-five days in the year Irefoie election as well as after, about the whales as well as about the small fish, in the face of dissent as plainly and fearlessly as when supported by eneral approval.The Sun has absolutely 110 purposes to servo, save the information of its readers* and the furtherance of the common good.Because it is everybody\u2019s newspaper.No man is so humble that Thk Sun is indifferent to his welfare anti his rights.No man is so rich that it can allow injustice to lie done him Nc man, no association of men, is powerful enough to bo exempt from the strict application of it* principles of right and wrong.Because in politics it has fought for a dozen years, without intermission and sometimes almost alone among newspapers, the fight that has resulted in the recent overwhelming popular verdict against Robesonism and for honest government.No matter what party i liower, Thk Sun stands and will continue to stand like a rock for the interests of the people against the ambition of bosses, the encroach ments of monopolists, and the dishonest schemes of public robbers.All this is what we are told almost daily by our friends.One man holds that The Sun is the best religious newspaper ever published, because its Christianity is undiluted with cant! Another holds that it is the best Republican newspaper printed, because it has already whipped half of tho raseals out of that party and is proceeding against the other half with undiminiahed vigor.A third believes it to be the best magazine of general literature in exist ence, because its readers miss nothing worthy of notice that is current in the world of thought.So every friend of The Fun discovers one of its many sides that appeals with particular force to his individual liking If you tJruady know Thk Sun, you will observe thr.t in ÏSM\u2019ô it is a li'tle better than over before.If you do not already know The Sun, you will find it to be a mirror of all human activity, a storehouse of the choicest products of common seme and imagination, a mainstay for the cause of honest government, a sentinel for genuine Jeffoisonian Demociacy, a rcourge for wickedness of every species, and an uncommonly good investment for the coming year.Terms to Mall Subscribers.The several editions of The Sun are sent by mail, postpaid, as follows : DAILY\u201466 cents a month, $6.50 a year ;
