11\u2014The Indian Government, to protect legitimately conducted newspapers in their enterprise and to adbrd the public a guarantee of the authenticity of press despatches, propose introducing in the

exclusive use within a reasonable time to the papers whose property the telegrams are and by the punishment of cribbing or faking.A Madrid correspondent says the cholera scare there is exaggerated and

of Puy-de-Dome, a murder trial has been in progress for some days.The circumstances of the murder and the exciting iucidents of the trial have engrossed the attention of the people, and yesterday, the last day of the trial, the Court was crowded with men and women.When the people were leaving, immediately after the adjournment of the Court, they were jammed upon the stone stairway leading to the street.The lofty staircase fell and the scene that followed was appalling.Immense masses of masonry crashed down upon the struggling people, grinding through their flesh and bones and maiming and mutilating them horribly.The fall of the staircase and the shrieks of the people lying helpless in the ruins caused a panic in the Court room and there was a rush for the wrecked exit.Those who were in front were unable to withstand the pressure from behind and were hurled down upon the crushed men and womea below, whom the p*)ple in the street were already striving to rescue.When at length the panic bad exhausted itself and the immense stone steps of the staircase had been re \u2022 moved twenty persons were taken from the rains, dead.The injured numbered not less than 60 ; many of these will die of their injuries.A later despatch from Thiers says in addition to the 20 persons killed fully 100 were injured.Many of the injured are women and their wounds are serious.When the massive stone staircase fell the scene was fearful to witness.The immense stone steps above with the people upon them were precipitated upon the dead and dying below, adding to the horror of the awful spectacle.A still later despatch from Thiers makes the Court Hu use calamity far more disastrous than the first despatches indicated.The dead already number 24 ; the total number of injured is placed at 163.Fourteen are very seriously injured and some of them will die.The officials are denounced for their lack of foresight in allowing the people to block the stairs, which they might have known could not bear so excessive a strain.St.Petersbcko, June 11\u2014Russia has ordered 22,000 11-inch shells.Russia is about to send an Embassy bearing presents to King John of Abyssinia, in return for

Standard\t:\u2014 It is understood the Queen has requested Mr.Gladstone to transmit to her his views in full on the political crisis, in order that ar rangements may be made to avert an imme diate change in the ministry.It is not expected that the Queen will accept the resignation of the ministers, or that a final decision will be reached concerning the question of changing the Government until Her Majes ty\u2019s return to Windsor Castle.The Conser vatives can do nothing until the Queen\u2019i wishes be made known, and meantime it is doubtful if the Liberal Cabinet can hold together, so great are the differences at present existing between its members.There rests a suspicion, which daily deepens, that the Gladstone ministry courted their defeat for the purpose of concealing behind its excitement their own dissensions.Statements made since the defeat by some of the Liberals who absented themselves from the vote on the fatal division show that the Government might have saved themselves if they had cared seriously to do so.Every hour brings a fresh rumor concerning the ministerial question.The latest is that the Marquis of Hartington will be asked by the Queen to re-construct the Liberal Ministry, Mr.Gladstone to retire.Berlin, June 11\u2014German diplomats allege that one of the causes (and the greatest) of the resignation of Gladstone was the failure of the secret missiou of the Earl of Rosebery to Berlin.These diplomats assert the object of the mission was to secure a reconciliation between Gladstone and Bismarck.Another cause is said to have been the failure of Chamberlain\u2019s secret mission to Paris.Chamber Iain\u2019s trip was announced to be simply for pleasure and recreation, but it is now declared Chamberlain was sent to the French capital by Gladstone for the purpose of obtaining from Defreycinet an Anglo-French alliance on Egyptian affairs.This was to be based on unequal shares in the control of the sountry, English control to ke paramount.It is declared that the failure of both these missions greatly discouraged Gladstone, who losing heart at the discovery of what he believed was the deep hostility against England entertained by her immediate continental neighbors, suddenly awoke to the keen sense of the failure of his foreign policy and concluded to abandon political life.with the Prince of Wales and several members of the Privy Council.This is the first time she has sought the advice of the Prince on a state crisis.It is reported he advised the Queen to follow constitutional practice and call the Marquis of Salisbury to form a new Cabinet.The latest report is that the Queen has summoned Lord Salisbury to Balmoral and that the Marquis left London to-night.If a Tory Cabinet is formed, Gladstone\u2019s immediate retirement from public life is certain, and the Marquis of Hartington will be left to lead the Opposition.Lord Salisbury at an informal meeting with a number of Conservative members said he woold refuse office unless assured by the Likerai leaders that the Opposition factions would not hamper the administration.Without some such underssaoding it would be impossible for the Conservatives to undertake the Government.The possibility of such an understanding is being discussed.Hartington and other moderates would accede, while Chamberlain and Dilke would refuse.Mr.Chamberlain\u2019s organ, the Birmingham Po*t, to-day describes the Radical policy in the event of a Tory Ministry being formed.They must, the Po*t says, be watched, checked, forbidden to legislate and compelled to explain and justify every step, and be prevented from using for their own purposes a position to which they have no real claim.London, June 13\u2014The SfonefartZ \"believe» Lord Salisbury and Sir 8.Northcote are willing to form a ministry, provided they receive the assurance that both sides of the House will support a bill for the prevention of crime in Ireland.Without such a bill they hesitate to be responsible for the Government of Ireland during the winter.It is now considered improbable that Gladstone will go to Balmoral.He is preparing to vacate his official residence and will probably go to Hawarden to recuperate during the remainder of the seuion, attending Parliament only on the occasion of important debates.Earl Granville in the House of Lords and Gladstone in the Commons will make brief statements and move a farther adjournment.THE LATE MINISTRY AND ITS PRE DECESSOR Gladstone\u2019s ministry.Office.First Lord of the Treasury\u2014Right Hon.W.E.Gladstone.Lord

ought to iiave her own Battery back, and of 10 degrees, making them really equal to | Quebec ought to have the troops which 109 feet on tho mile.Mr.Light shews that there is one short grade of 85 feet to themile between Hochelaga and Mile End» common to all trains passing from Mon\" treal to Halifax, also, three short curves of 10 degrees round Bedford Basin, some four miles from Halifax, equally common to all lines, but these have no connection whatever with the proposed Chesuncook lines.Grades and curves similar to those described by Schreiber are to be found on the New Brunswick Railway between Hart-land, (theobjective point of lastyear\u2019s survey of the St.Charles line.) and Canterbury, but the combination lino strikes Canterbury and not Hartland, and in that way these objectionable grades and curves would be avoided, as well as a saving in mileage of 25 miles would be effected.Had Mr.Light, as he explains in his text, fuund a dead level between Quebec and Hartland, the usefulness of his survey would still have been destroyed by being connected ther*, with a road having such grades and curves.He repeats tho fac.that maximum grades of 35 to 40 feet per mile, and minimum curves of 4° degrees can be obtained all the way from Quebec to Moncton on the combination line.Mr.Schrieber alludes in his report to thirty lines of railways, but, points out Mr.Light, of this large number, we have evidence of five through lines only, being surveyed, and these surveys have been imperfect.The report before us disposes quite satisfactorily of the set of \u201cquerries propounded in the Schreiber report she sent away in response to the call of duty, just as Winnipeg, Toronto, Hamil ton, London, Montreal, Halifax and tho other towns which contributed men to the war,

sure will see the necessity of allowing each corps to revisit its old homo, when the order is given to return from the front.THE DESPATCH FROM GENERAL MIDDLETON.ONLY 25 MILES BEHIND BEAR.BIO The

remaining in Big Bear s hands, on account of so many escaping and the great loss of loot suffered by the Indians.ANOTHER MASSACRE.Calgary, June 10\u2014One of the saddest stories of the rebellion was told yesterday to Rev.Father Lacombe.A half-breed, footsore, weary and hardly able to stand, walked into the mission.His name is Francis Remean.Nearly five weeks ago his wife and five children, along with two other half-breed families, were murdered beneath his eyes.About the time of the Duck Lake fight Rameau was up stairs and prevented the crime by stcnpnig between Bad Child and Quinn\u2019s bed.Meantime, the Indians below had taken three guns from Quinn\u2019s office.Travelling Spirit called out Quinn\u2019s Indian name, saying, \u201cMan-Speaking-Sioux, come down.\u201d His brother-ia-Uw, Lovc-Mau, told him not to go.Not taking his advice, Quinn went down, and was at onoe seized and taken over to Farm In-atruotor Delaney's house.Tho Indians had been blustering a good deal, but nobody suspected that they had intended foul play.Before going to Quinn\u2019s the Indians had already taken the Government horses from Quinn\u2019s stable, and Love-Man, who was standing up for Quinn, was going to shoot Travelling Spirit in a quarrel about them.MR.CAMERON CAPTCBKD.At Delaney\u2019s house the Indians continued their threats and held a oonfab.Then Travelling Spirit went with others to the Hudson\u2019s Bay store.Mr.Cameron was already up.Bad Child came in first and said : \u201cHava you any ammunition in the store ?\u201d \u201cYes, a little,\u201d said Mr.Cameion.\u201cWell,\u201d replied Bad Child, \u201cI want you to give it to m.If you don\u2019t we will take it.\" Mr.Cameron said, \u201cIf you are bound to have it I will give it rather than have you clean out tho store.\u201d Mr.Cameron was the only offioial on the premises at this time.He went from the dwelling to the store and gave them what powder, ball, an 1 caps were in stock, only a small quantity.A keg of powder and nearly all the ball cartridge had been sent to Fort Pitt from Frog Lake on the advice of Mr.Cameron and others after the news of the Duck Like fight had been received.While Cameron was getting out the stuff for the Indians, they watched him narrowly with their loaded guns all ready.Big Bear now appeared on the scene.Entering the store he waved his arm round, saying to his brsves, \u201cDon\u2019t touch anything here in tho company\u2019s place.If there is anything you need, ask Cameron for it.\u201d After getting a fôw things all but two friendly Indians went out.Camoreu followed to see what was going to be done, and w as ordered by Travelling Spirit to go to Quinn\u2019s and had to obey.THE VICTIMS GATHERED TOGETHER.Other white men had meanwhile been brought there along with Pritchard, the half-breed interpreter.The priests, Father Fa-fard and Father Marchand were there too, and tne place was crowded with Indians.Travelling Spirit said \u201cI want to know who is the head of the whites in this country.Is it the Governor or the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company, or who ?\u2019\u2019 Quinn said jokingly, \u201cThere a a man at Ottawa, Sir John Macdonald, who is at the head of aflairs.\u201d The Indians said, \u201cWill yon give us beef ?Quinn asked Delaney it he had any oxen which he could give them to kill.Delaney ¦aid he had one or two, and all then left the house.Five Indiana took Mr.Cameron back to the store and asked for more goods.One of the Frog Lake Indians, William Gladien, asked Big Bear\u2019s party to leave him in charge of the store, \u201cbecause,\u201d said he, \u201cyou are always wanting to get something, and there s no use taking Cameron there.\u201d They agreed to this.IN THE CHURCH.Shortly afterwards Travelling Spirit came no to Cameron and said, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you go to church ?All the other white people are there already.\u201d Theu he took him to the Roman Catholic Church.As it was Good Friday the priests were holding service.Big Bear and Miserable Man were standing near the door and the others were kneeling while the service ^was going on.Travelling Spirit entered and remained half kneeling in the centre of the little church, with his rifle in his hand.He had a war hat on and his face was daubed with yellow paint in mockery.Tne priests finished the service, and Father Fafard at the close got np and warned the Indians against committing excesses.The people then wont to Delaney 4 house, while Cameron went to breakfast, \\ellow Bear, a Frog Lake Indian, keeping close to him at the time.After finishing his breakfast Cameron went to the store.X ravelling Spirit again called for him, ordering him to DelaneyV He went next door to the barracks, which the Indians were ransacking.\u2019 King Bird (Big Bear\u2019s young son) came up saying, \u201cDon\u2019t stay here.\u2019\u2019 Yellow Bear then came out of tho barracks saying, \u201cI want to get a hat.\u201d at the àTORK again.Cameron said, \u201cCome with me.\u201d Yellow Bear said, \u201cBring it here.\" Cameron replied, \u201cTravelling Spirit has ordered me to come here.If he sees me going back he might shoot me.\u2019 The Indian said, \u201cNever mind ; I will go with you to the -r.\t proposes to pass the St.Lawrence by a bridge, and to which point a boobls-track railway from Mile End is gglrij completed.From Quebec Gate Barracks station west Jp Lachine is eleven miles, which distance, says .Mr.Light, must be retraced east to 2et opposite to Montreal, and will thus add about 20 miles to all

Dominion in general.Fuller examinations of the country should be made, in order to arrive at a wise solution of the matter.The fact w that the country has not been half surveyed,\u2014for instsucc :

which l.e speaks as \u201ctaking the first place,\u201d has also 113 miles nof surveyed ; thu- aggregating on these three lines alone.-174 m.tes of unsurveyed country.Fuller examinations would, I am confident, result vaatly in favor of the \u201cCombination Line that is, if Canadian interests are to be specially considered.We hope our readers will secure copies of thi* important pamphlet, which

subsidy not' exceeding $2,800 per mile for 75 miles, and $0,000 per mile for eight miles, not exceeding in tho whole $258,000, the said subsidy to be in addition to the subsidy authorized to bo granted in aid of the construction of the said railway by the Act 45 Vic., Cap.14, constituting with tho subsidy so authorized a subsidy not exceeding in the whole $498,000 ; the said subsidy to be granled to the said railway upon the terms and conditions specified in the act.Also, for a line of railway connecting Montreal with the harbors of St.John and Halifax, via Sherbrooke, Moosehead Lake and Metta-wamkeog, a subsidy not exceedingly $80,-000 per annum for twenty years, forming in the whole, together with the subsidy authorized by the Act 40 Vic., Cap.8, a subsidy not exceeding $250,000 per annum, the whole of which shall be paid in aid of the construction of such line for a period of 20 years, or a guarantee of a like sum for a like period as interest on the bouds of the company undertaking the work.The said last-mentioned subsidy to be so granted upon the terms and conditions specified in the said last-mentioned act in ing via Carlton, not far from the latter place, Father Paquet told him of the Duck Lake fight, and advised him not to go any further south.Father Paquet remained with his family and three other families, and they left for the north, intending to reach Green Lake.The party afterwards divided, leaving Kemeau with his family to follow.One day, about five weeks ago, when they were on the trail to Green Lake, and while Remeau was away from camp hunting for game, several Indians pounced on the delenceless camp and killed Remeau\u2019s wife, his three boys, and two girls within sight of the father, who had nothing but a shot gun and a few charges of shot.His first impulse was to rush forward, but the distance was great, and he saw he could be of no assistance.The Indians also killed tne occupants of the other camps, and poor Remeau turned about, struck south, and has been nearly five weeks reaching a place of safety, living on shunks, muskrats, eggs aud roots, some days doing without food.The ludiaua were of Big Bear\u2019s band, aud Remeau thinks they have killed more people than is generally known.He lost everything.THE FROG LAKE HORROR.(Special to The Mail.)

Quinn's head, saying,\" I tell you go !\u201d and shot him dead.Goum, who was an American half-breed, was shot by the Worm immediately after on the road to the Indian camp, a short distance from Pritchard\u2019s house.Cameroa asked Yellow Bear what ail this meant.Yellow Bear caught him by the hand and said, \u201cCome this way,\u201d Then seeing Mrs.Simpson about to leave her house, he said, \u201cGo with her; don\u2019t leave her.\" TUS PBIEST.-J KILLED, Cameron walked away with Mrs.Simpson.When they had got a short distance from the house she stopped aud called Cameron\u2019s attention to the priests, who were standing about a hundred yards away expostulating with some Indians who were loading their ?nns.Delaney was close by.Suddenly the ?dians raised their guns and rushed at Delaney.Father Fafard dashed up and placed himself in front, menacing the Indians, but was overpowered by numbers and thrown down, aud Bare Neck shot Delaney, and then, with the other barrel, fired at the priest.Father Fafard and Delaney were badly wounded, and, as they lay writhing, Man-VVho-Wins walked up and fired at them, killing both.Father Marchand (trom Ouion Lake) was meanwhile attempting to keep the Indians from going after the women.When he saw that Father Fafard bad been killed he attempted to push his way through the crowd of Indians to reach the body, but they resisted.He was a wiry man and fonght hard.Travelling Spirit, however, rushed up and shot him in the cheat and head, and he fell dead.In the rush that followed a moment after this Gowanlock was killed by the Worm.Gilchrist and Dill were together, and Little Bear\u2014who had prevlonsly killed Williscraft \u2014fired on them.Gilchrist fell immediately, but Dill was not hurt and started to run.The Indians chased him on horseback and he was finally killed by Man-Talking-to-An-other.THE WOMEN\u2019 SAVED.Cameron was bonified on seeing the killing of the priests and Delaney.Ot course he could do nothing to save them.Ho went up and caaght Mrs.Simpson by the arm, toink-ing she waa going to fall from tho shook.They walked on.She kept saying \u201cGo on faster,\u201d for the Indians were all ronnd : bat there was no use in trying tornn away.They afterwards learned that had this been tried Cameron would have been shot.After reaching the main camp, a Frog Lake chief named He-Standa-CJp-Betore-Him and some head men took Cameron into a lodge, where they told him they would see that no harm should befall him.They then went ontand brought in Travelling Spirit, and told him that he and his band were to let Cameron alone.Travelling Spirit assured them all, and Cameron himself, that he would.Mrs.Gowanlock was with Mrs.Delaney, having left her own house three miles away on the first news of the trouble.The two women were walking to camp with Mr.Gowanlock and Mr.Delaney, when the two latter were shot.Gowanlock fell dying in his wife\u2019s arms.The Indians then brought the women to camp.By this time almost everything in the place had been taken.When Cameron left they broke open the store and raided it.When the two women arrived in camp they were bonght by half-breeds to save them from the Indians.John Pritchard, the interpreter, bonght Mre.Dulaney for a horse and $30.Pierre Blondin bought Mrs.Gowanlock for three horses.Th* two stayed with Pritchard's family.Mr.Simpson, the H.B.factor, was at Pitt when the massacra occurred, but returning in the evening was taken prisoner.A day or so after the bodies of the killed were thrown into the empty houses, after having been stripped cf valuables.Dancing and feasting went on for days.IK bio bear\u2019s camp.When Pitt was attacked only the man went oat, retarning after the garrison evacuated with the McLeans and others.The intention of the Indians was to go to Battle-ford and join Poandmaker and then attack the police barracks, so the whole eamp moved towards Pitt, taking about ten days.However, they did not go to Pitt, but moved down the river.Several camps were made close together near the place of Gen.Strange\u2019s skirmish, and it was from east of there where large thirst dance lodge had been pot np, that they were harried by the appearance of onr scouts.Mr.Cameion states that the majority of the Indians at Frog Lake, Long Lake, and Onion Lake, and other bands of Wood Créés, were.compelled to join Big Bear, though having no desire to take part in the troubles, Tney helped themselves to a share of the plunder, bat they were in a manner obliged to do so in order to live.The Wood Créés did all they could to save the whites, and did not know anything of the intention of Big Bear\u2019s party to kill the people at Frog Lake.Some VYood Créés even threatened to shoot Big Bear\u2019s men when the mardering began, bat they were too few at the time, and would only have been killed themselves.All the whites saved owe their lives to the half-breeds and Wood Créés, ani if the others be saved it will be through their influence.HOW THE PRISONERS FARED.Daring their captivity the prisoners were never hungry cor were they closely confined, although everything was taken from them.Tne two women remained with Pritchard's family and there is absolutely no foundation for the horrible stories about them which have been circulated.The McLean family waa not separated and although at first Big Bear\u2019s party had charge of them, the Wood Créés took them over because they thought they were not need well enough.A party of Créés took Cameron and others and withdrew from Big Bear\u2019s band just prior to Strange\u2019s skirmish of the 27th ult., thinking that perhaps the Plain Créés would kill tbs prisoners if any of their number were wounded or kill ed.Big Bear's baud had been wishing to kill the prisoners all along, and were only pre vented by the watchfulness of the Metis and Wood Créés, while the women owe their safety entirely to Blondin, Pritchard, and other half-breeds.Mr.Cameron has made a deposition etn bracing this narrative, which will ba used by the authorities in the proseention of the mar derers.\t* W.W.F.THE SUN DANCE.HOW AK INDIAN BRAVE TORTURES HIMSELF.The Regina Leader thus describes the sun dance on Piapot's reserve, which was witnessed by several officers and men of the 63th Montreal Battalion : \u201cThe beauty of the situation of Piapot\u2019s reserve was greatly admired, surrounded as it is by forest.Tnere were 150 wigwams, and, about 1,000 Indians all told The sou dance took place in the centre of the camp in a large wigwam constructed of branches of trees pat together in a most artistic manner.A red flag flew from i tall flag staff and there were flags and ban ners of various orders looking very prêt ty.\tHalf this\twigwam was open at the side and here squatted squaws, children, old men, all painted, the squaws looking anything but band some.Inside were the braves, medicine men, and the Chief Piapot whose guests Chief Pas qua and other chiefs were also there.On a sort of balcony were a number of braves with whistles who beat time to the musio they made\u2014very mournful music it was.They had been going on tuning and playing the whistles and beating time for forty-eight hours, and without a morsel of food.Hare was a group of men about a dozen or more dressed in a meat fantastic style, all painted On the second day the party saw one man tortured.He was naked save for a thin pair of drawers and painted a lurid whitish color One of the medioine men came up and thrust a wooden skiver into his breast and then tied round the akin above the hole made by the skiver a piece of tape so aa to draw it up tightly.The tape or chord was attached to a beam aud the tortured brave moved round in time to the tune, the skin being drawn out about six inches from the breast.Presbyterian Church in this city, who took amall-pox some days ago, has died of the disease, and waa buried to-day.He was a native of Dublin, Ireland.The bugus cheque business seems to bo tried on many occasions now.To-day a bogus cheque on tho Merchants\u2019 Bank, signed C.Rhodier, for $100, was tendered in payment for one of Tees & Co.\u2019s desks, but the clerk refused to take it.Another bogus cheque was also offered for a ticket to Toledo, Ohio, in a railway ticket office, but this attempt was also unsuccessful.A counterfeit $2-note, bearing the title \u201cDominionof Canada.\" has made its appearance dated June 1st, 1875, check letter C.All that have been seen so far bear No.104,797, \u201cToronto issue.\u201d The portrait of Lord Dufferin has a swarthy look, aud the eyes are imperfect.Hon.Justice Mousseau and Mr.L.H.Demers, of Québec, were both robbed of their valuable gold watches, at the St.Lawrence Hall, last night.During the night Judge Mousseau opened his eyes and found a stranger in his room, who, when asked what he wanted made an apology and beat a hasty retreat with the watch.A similar case happened with Sheriff La-berge, a few days ago.The thieves are believed to be Americans.SPECIAL FROM OTTAWA, Ottawa, June 11\u2014At a meeting of the County Council to-day, a special committee was appointed fer the purpose of abolishing the market tolls iu the city and also the tolls on macadamized roads.At the Court of General S&sioue this afternoon, the Grand Jury returned \u201ctrue bills\u201d against Falcauer and Munrce, charged with larceny.In the case of Langtrue vs.Broyer, for damage to property, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for $130.It is thought traffic on the Rideau Canal will be resumed about the 20th.By that time the break at Hog's Back will be repaired.It is stated here by a city newspaper that the President of the C.P.Railway is about to resign Uiat position, that Mr.Vanhorue will auccera him, aud that Mr.Frank Abbott will become general manager of the railway, in place of Mr.Vanhorne.NOTICE T0_MARINERS.THE \u201cTIME BALL\u201d AT THE CITADEL will be hoisted each day (Sundays

valuable and attractive historical hand-book of the Northern tour, illustrating ia a most entertaining manner such points of interest as Lakes George and Champlain ; Niagara ; Montreal ; and Quebec.The author is Dr.Francis Parkman, the historian, whose material tor the present useful volume has been drawn from his own works, viz : The Conspiracy of Pontiac.The Pioneers of France in the New World, The\tin North America, Count Frontenac, and Mont-calm and Wolfe.Of course, the letter press, coming from such a source, is brilliant, thorough and valuable.The hand-book is written in narrative form, and treats of striking events and episodes in early colonial history.To the tourist the book possesses exceptional advantages, while to the general reader it is a source of never failing delight.The work is illustrated with .naps of Lake George, Siege of Fort William Henry, The Country round Tyconderoga, and The Siege of Quebec, portraits of Montcalm and W olfo, and reproductions of Champlain\u2019s h ight with the Iroquois (drawn by himself), ami Hennepin's Picture of Niagara.Copies may be had through the Dawsons.John Ruskiu\u2019s latest grievance is that people write letters to the London newspapers, | digniug them with his name aud imitate his style, but sufficiently mutilate it to carry the ^ idea that be is failing iu mental power.In that favorite form of the Centre Gambit 1\tP K 4, P K 4, 2 P Q 4, P tks P, 3 Q tks P, Kt Q B 3, 4 Q K 3, it is customary for Black to continue with 4 B Kt 5 oh, 5 P B 3, B R 4, 6 Q Kt 3, Q B 3.It would be strange indeed if such an unnatural kind of defence should have before it a long and honorable existence.As 4 matter of fact White has but to play now 6 Kt Q R 3, a move lately introduced by Mr.D.Y.Mills, and in our opinion 4 B Kt 5 ch will have to acknowledge that it is nothing but a rank impostor.This is the less to be regretted if it turn out that Black has a satisfactory alternative at his disposal.Without saying so positively we propose a substitute, viz : 4 P Q Kt 3, and we proceed to adduce a few variations in support of its claims, though we must mention at starting that this defence is mors complicated than we could wish, and we are afraid that for the present at least it cannot be played save by experts ; 1 P K 4, P K 4, 2\tP Q 4, P tks P, 3 Q tks P, Kt Q B 3, 4 Q K 3, P Q Kt 3.There are various replies, but wo at present deal only with 5 B Kt 5, which with its sub-variations has the main claim to our attention.5 B Kt 5, B B 4, 6 Q K Kt 3, Kt B 3.7 P K 5 best (7 B Kt 5, Kt tks P ; 7 Q tks Kt P, R K Kt sq or B tks P ch) Q K 2, 8 Kt K B 3, R K Kt sq (K B sq has claims), 9 B Kt 5, P K R 3, 10 B tks K Kt, Q B sq, 11 P K 6, P tks B, 12 P tks B P ch (if 12#Q tks P, then B Q 3, winning the Queen), Q tks P with a rather good game, for if White proceeds with 13 Q tks P Black proceeds with Q K 2 ch followed by B Q 3.White could and should have varied on his ninth move as follows : 9 B takes Kt, P takes B, 10 B Kt 5, P K R 3, 11 B takes Kt, Q B *q, 12 P K 6, P takes B, 13 Q takes P, B takes K P, 14 Q takes Q B P en, K K2, 15 Q Kt 7 ch, B Q 2, and now White may perpetually check, or may castle, which we, being Black, would not mind ; or he might, and probably would, play 16 Kt B 8, Q Q B sq.17 Kt Q 5 ch, K B sq, 18 Q takes Q ch, B takes Q, 19 Kt takes B P, R takes P, and Black, though a Pawn behind, has a tolerable game for fighting, even though White continue with 20 Kt K 4, to which Black would reply with B Kt 2.It may be that this variation can be improved for Black, and we are inclined to think that snch is the case.To prevent confusion we ao back to White\u2019s fifth move\u20145 B Kt 5, B B 4, 6 Q K Kt 3, Kt B 3, 7 P K 5.Q K 2, 8 Kt K B 3, Kt K 5, (instead of R K Kt sq), 9 Q takes P, R B sq, 10 B R 6, Q K 3, 11 Q takes P, Kt B 3, 12 Q Q 3 or Kt 7, Kt takes P, with a good game.White might have varied by II B takes Kt, but then Q takes B, and Black even though he ultimately lose the exchange, will have an attacking game.White might likewise have ylayed 11 castles; but then Q B 4 or P B 4, and though Black\u2019s position seems dangerous, yet White will have to look out.We have been hitherto considering the effect of ô B Kt 5, Kt B 3 ; bat Black is not obliged to venture ou such a complicated line.He might play as follows : 5 B Kt 5, Q B 3, 6 Kt Q B 3, B B 4, 7 Q KKt 3, QKt K 2, with a game that may or not turn out tenable, for this remains to be seen ; bat there are some points in Black's favor.On the other hand, 5 B Kt 5, Q B 3, 6 Kt QB 3, B B 4, 7 Q KKt 3, KKt K 2, does not turn out well for Black, as White continues with 8 B KB 4, a very formidable move.There are also points for consideration in 5 B Kt 5, B Kt, or 5 B Kt, P Kt 3, though not absolutely meaning a double Fianchetto unless called for, or 5 B Kt 5, Kt Kt 5, all of which must be dealt with before the proposed defence is to be looked upon as unsatisfactory.It may ultimately turn out to be so, for we suggest it in no such spirit of confidence as other lines which we have from time to time put forward.Let no one adopt 4 P QKt 3 and then com plain of us as if we had absolutely recom mended it.We put the defence forward as a purely experimental one, and, indeed, as a candidate whose credentials have yet to be properly examined.\u2014Band and Water, Feb.7.1885.SECOND ARTICLE.In a recent article on this opening we set up 1 P K 4, P K 4, 2 P Q 4, PxT>, 3 QxP, Kt QB 3, 4 Q K 3, we proposed as a good reply lor Black 4 P QKt 3, and we then proceeded to deal with 5 B Kt 5, which seemed to be the most formidable rejoinder.Concerning this Mr.Freeborough, well known as one of the beat analysts of the day, writes to propose 5 B Q 2 as a continuation which he adopts, and he sends us two games played by him with different opponents.One of them goes as follows : 5 B Q 2, B Kt 2, 6 B B p, B Kt 5, 7 B Q 3, Kt B 3,\t8 P QR 3.The other game proceeds with 5 B Q 2, B B 4, 6 Q K Kt 3, Q B 3, 7 Kt Q B 3, K Kt K 2, 8 B Q 3.Both games were won by Mr.Freeborough, a fact, however, which does not affect the question of merits ; nor do we intend to raise this question, though, as a matter of fact, our continuation would not be what was adopted by either of bis opponents, saving only that we will go one step with the second of them.Our ideas will appear in the following brief variations : 5 B Q 2, B B 4, 6 ^ K Kt 3, Kt B 3, 7 Q tks Kt P, R K Kt sq, or B tks P ch, 5 B Q 2, B B 4, 6 Q K Kt 3 Kt B 3, 7 B B 3, castles, 8 B Q 3, B Q 5.(We reserve 7 Ktx P instead of castling, but we doubt whether any advantage for White can be derived from that apparently hazardous continuation.) 5 B Q 2, BB 4, 6 Q K Kt 3, Kt B 3, 7 P K 5, Q K 2, 8 Kt K B 3, Kt K 5 (Kt K R 4 has claims), 9 Q tks P, B tks P ch, 10 K moves Q Bsq.Iq these variations Black obtains such positions as to make us feel more confident of 4 P Q Kt 3, if met by 5 B Q 2 then if opposed by the move originally given by us, viz : 5 B Kt 5.We should expeot this result before commencing any tests, because we should feel sure that for many purpotes the Q B would be found to have lost a move by coming to Q 2, and also that as so placed ifc would be exposed to be attaeked by the ad verse K Kt, as is the case in the last vam tionabove given ; and, indeed, the virtue of that variation to some extent rests upon the fact that the Black K Kt when at K 5 attacks the White Q M.\u2014Land and Water, March 25, 1885, Exhibition of Paintings and Drawings Quite a number of leading citizens availed themselves of the opportunity afforded yesterday at the rooms of the Women\u2019s Christian Association to inspect the paintings and drawings execated in Miss Dawson\u2019s art class.The exhibition was quite a large one, and embraced a number of different species of decorative art, in addition to the oil paintings and water color drawings, of which there were several.Some of these were from nature, others from still Mfe, and a few have been enlarged from smaller copies of the same.Seme small views around Quebec, taken from the Battery, looking over to Beauport and with poplars in the foreground were very favorably criticized.A large cattle piece opposite the entrance to the room was universally admired, and there are a number of landscapes and a pair of Scotch beads which are subjects of very general notice.Some of the pencil drawings are well worthy of inspection, and all of them are interesting, as serving to illnstrate the pains taken by Miss Dawson to perfect her pupils in the initiatory stages of their work, before being permitted, as a rule, to paint even from still lite, or the real object, the students are required to draw from the plaster cast, and the specimens of such work already referred to are by no means the least inviting portion of the exhibition.Passing on to the department of work done from still life, a number of very creditable fruit, fish and shell pieces will be observed.In decorative art the display of finished work is very large, and one is tempted to express considerable surprise at its variety and extent, as well as at the degree of proficiency attained by so many of the pupils, especially when it is borne in mind that many of them are but recent students, and that all the pictures on exhibition have been painted within the last twelve months.The tapestry painting is particularly effective, and there area couple of very hand some specimens of their work on exhibition The lustre painting, which is somewhat of a novelty in Quebec, is represented by & number of very showy subjects intended for mantel hangings, fare screens, etc.In china painting there are a few pieces of very creditable work, amongst which a front rank must be accorded to a head on a large plaque, enlarged from a ( portrait.All who have experienced the diffi culty of arriving at the flesh tints satisfac torily, with mineral colors, will appreciate the excellence of this work.Another very good specimen is a copy of a Landseer dog.There are one or two cups and saucers of more than ordinary merit, which naturally enough come in for a share of everybody\u2019s attention.The imitation of the old Derby china was de servedly very much admired.A set ot doy leys composed of Canadian scenery was the centre of attraction for a number of ladies.We might go on for long enough, dwelling ypon the novelties of this exhibition and the artistic character of the work shown, rt fleeting as it does very great credit upon Miss Dawson as a painstaking teacher and artiste, and npon the skill and aptitude of the members ot her class.It is preferable, however, we believe, that our reader» should inspect the work for themselves.It will be on view at the rooms of the Women\u2019s Christian Association from 3 to 6 o\u2019clock this afternoon, after which the exhibition will positively close.Nervous Debilitated Hen You are allowed a'free

Kasson, has lately forwarded to his Government an interesting account of a remarkable surgical operation lately performed by Professor Billroth, of Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, consisted in the removal of a portion of the human stomach, involving nearly ono-third of the organ\u2014and strange to say, the patient recovered\u2014the only successful operation of the kind ever performed.The disease for which this operation was performed was cancer of the stomach, attended with the following symptoms The apnetite is quite Eoor.There is a peculiar indescribable distress 1 the stomach, a fooling that has been described as a faint \u201call yone\u201d sensation; a sticky slime collects about the teeth, especially in the morning, accompanied by an unpleasant taste.Food fails to satisfy this peculiar faint sensation ; but, on the contrary, it appears to aggravate the feeling.The eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow ; the hands and feet become cold and sticky\u2014a cold perspiration.The sufferers feel tired all the time, and sleep does not seem to give rest.After a time the patient becomes nervous and irritable, gloomy, his mind filled with evil forebodings.When rising suddenly from a recumbent position there is a dizziness, a whistling sensation, and be is obliged to grasp something firm to keep from falling.The bowels ooativa, the skin dry aud hot at times ; the blood becoming thick and stagnant, and does not circulate properly.After a lithe the patient spits up food soon after eating, sometimes in a sour and fermented condition, sometimes sweetish to the taste.Oftentimes there is a palpitation of the heart, and the patient fears he may have hear disease.Towards the last the patient is unable to retain any food whatever, as the opening in the intestines becomes close, or nearly so although tshis disease is Indeed alarming, sufferers with the above-named symptoms should not feel nervous, for nine hundred and nioety-nine cases out of a thousand have no oanoer, but simply dyspepsia, a disease easily removed if treated in a proper manner.The safest and best remedy for the disease is Seigel\u2019s Curative Syrup, a vegetable preparation sold by all chemists and medicine vendors throughout the world, and by the proprietors, A.J.White (Limited), 17, Far-ringdon-road, London, E.C.This Syrup strikes at the very foundation of the disease, and drives it, root and branch, out of the system.St.Mary-street, Peterborough, November 29th, 1881.Sir,\u2014It gives me great pleasure to inform you of the benefit I have received from Seigel\u2019s Syrup.I have been troubled for years with dyspepsia ; but after a few doses of the Syrup, I found relief, and after taking two bottles of it I feel quite cured.I am, Sir, yours truly, Mr.A.J.White.\tWilliam Brent.September Sth, 1883.Dear Sir,\u2014I find the sale of Seigel\u2019s Syrup steadily increasing.All who have tried it speak very highly of its medieinal virtues : one customer describes it as a \u201cGodsend to dyspeptic people.\u201d I always recommend it with confidence.Faithfully yours, (Signed),\tVincent A.Wills, Chemist-Dentist, Merthyr Tydvil.To Mr.A.J.White.Seigel\u2019s Operating Pills are the best family physio that has ever been discovered.They cleanse the bowels from all irritating substances, and leave them in a healthy condition.They

customer came for two bottlo of Syrup and said \u201cMother Seigel\u201d kadsavedt h life of his wife, and ho added, \u201cone of theso bottles I am sending fifteen miles away te a friend who is very ill.I have much faith in it.\u201d The sale keeps up wonderfully, in fact, one would fancy almost that the people were begine ning to breakfast, dine, and sup on Mother Seigel\u2019s Syrup, the demand is so constant and the satisfaction so great.1 am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, (Signed),\tW.Bowker.To A.J.White, Esq.Spanish Town, Jamaica, Westjlndios, r\tOct 24, 1882.Dear Sir,\u2014! write to inform you that I have derived great benefit from \u201cSeigel\u2019s Sjrrup.\u201d For some years I have suffered from liver complaint, with its many and varied concomitant evils, so that my life was a perpetual misery.Twelve months ago 1 was induced to try Seigel\u2019s Syrup, and although rather sceptical, having tried so many reputed infallible remedies, I determined to giva it at least a fair trial.In two or three days I felt considerably better, and now at the end of twelve months (having continued taking it) I am glad to say that I am a different being altogether.It is said of certain pens that they \u201ccome as a boon and a blessing to men\u2019\u2019 and I have no reason to doubt the truthfulness of tho Étalement.I can truly say, however, that Seigel\u2019s Syrup has come as a \u201cboon and a blessing\u201d to me.I have recommended it to several fellow-sufferers from this distressing complaint, and their testimony is quite in acoordance with my own- Gratitude for the benefit I have derived from the excellent preparation, prompts me te furnish you with this un solicited testimonial.I am, dear Sir, Yours ever gratefully, (Signed),\tCarey B.Berry, A.J.White,
