Council on the Liquor License Acts.The caie of Ruaaell vs.the Queen, decided by the Privy Council three or four years ago, was a test case under which the constitutionality of the Canada Temperance Act waa clearly established.The Government, as a result of the discovery of the recent irregularities in connection with the Brosaeau-Lisabel frauds, at Moatreal, have in préparât on a suit of more

day long and to-night the stores on the principal streets have been crowded aod many had to employ over the usual number of hands to meet the great demand upon them.A very large number of people from the country arrived by the morning trains to make their Xmas purchases.AMERICAN.Lincoln, Neb., Dec.24\u2014Patrick Egan, President of the Irish National League, has received » cablegram from Mr.Harrington M.P., Secretary of the National Land League\u2019, stating that Parnell will not be able to attand the League Convention intended to be held in Chicago in January next.He inclined to think it beat to postpone the Coavention until the closing of Parliament in Febrnary.It is doubtless the desire of the Irish party to know with a degree of certainty the probable outcome of the present sitnstion before making any authoritative announcement of their plans, or before sending any message to their American brothers.He alio says that they regard Paroell\u2019s constant presence on the scene of deliberations as indiapensible.The Convention,jin accordance with their suggestion, is therefore postponed to a date to be detenuined upon hereafter between the Executive of the American League and Mr.Parnell.Thev will oall the National Committee of the American League together early in January, by which time there may be information from Ireland so that a definite date can be set for the Convention.Ducino, N.M., Dec.24\u2014The leading citizens ot Silver City held a meeting yesterday to deviae means for prosecuting a war of extermination against the Apaches.It waa determined to raise money bv subscription for the porc basa of a pack of bloodhounds and for again equipping and patting the local militia in the neld.It was also determined American English.Mr.Lowell, the greatest and finest realist who ever wrought in verse, showed us that Elizabeth was still Queen where he heard Yankee farmers talk; and without asking that our novelists of the widely scattered centres shall each s* ek to writa ia bis local dialect, we are glad, as we say, of every tint any of them gets from the parlance he hears ; it is much better than the tint he will get from the parlance he reads.One need not invite slang into the company of its betters, though perhaps slang has besn dropping its s and becoming language ever since the world began, and it certainly sometimes delightful and forcible beyond the reach of the dictionary.We would not have any one go about for new words, but if one of them came aptly, not to rejeot ita htip.For our' novelists to try to write Americanly, from any motive, would be a dismal error, but being born Americans, we would have them use \u201c Americanisms \u201d whenever these serve their tarn ; and when their characters speak, we should like to hear them speak true American, with all the varying Tennesseean, Philadelphian, Bostonian, and New York accents.If we bother onrselves to write what the critics imagine to be \u201cEnglish,\" we shall be priggish and artificial, and still more so if we make our Americans talk \u201cEnglish.\u201d There is also thia serions disadvantage about \u201cEnglish,\u201d that if we wrote the best \u201cEnglish\u201d in the wot Id, probably the English themselves would not know it, or, if they did, certainly would not own it.It has always been supposed by grammarians and purists that a language can be kept as they find it ; hot languages, while they live, are perpetually changing.God apparently meant them for the common people \u2014whom Lincoln believed Gcd liked because He had made so many of them ; and the common people will use them freely as they use other gifts of God.On their lips our conti cental English will differ more and more from the insular English, and we believe that this is not deplorable, but deairable.W.D.How-SLW, in Harper\u2019s Magazine for January.UNITED STATE?.New York, Dec.24\u2014The members of the Stock Exchange enjoyed their annual \u201c circus\u2019' to-day and the entertainment was witnessed by hundreds of spectators who crowded the galleries.Among the spectators were many ladies.The performance began at half-past eleven o\u2019clock, when a crowd of brokers seized upon Mr.Clarke, one of the oldest members of the Exchange, and pushed him anont the room among crowds of brokers who fell in behind the party, and with drums and tin horns made a racket which was heard as far as Wall street and Broadway.After indulging themselves in thia way for about ten minutes the members began to dance jigs with one another until they were called to order by one of the prime movers in the disturbance, who, followed by the crowd, marched up to the Superintendent\u2019s desk and ia a short speech handed him a package neatly tied up and sealed with red wax.Fresident Simmons unwrapped the package anl disclosed an automatic stump speaker placed in a box and worked by a spring.The clock work was wound up and the stump speaker began amid the cheers of the crowd.For about five or ten minutes the fun abated and some brokers made some sales, hot at 12 o\u2019clock an organ grinder was led upon the floor of the Exchange and at once began to play.A shower of coin at once began to pour into the tambourine held by a woman and even with the assistance of a boy she was unable to gather it in as fast as it fell and a number of messenger boys acted as collectors.One or two of the members danced around the room with the woman and then began a fierce assault upon all high hats.Ocher hats did not escape and for a time high hats and Derbys were used as foot balls.The fun lasted for half an hour.At the Cotton and Produce Exchanges the brokers also indulged in similar pranks.Lexington, Ky., Deo.24\u2014W.L.Simon\u2019s trotting mare \u201cEarly Dawn\u201d was poisoned with arsenic at the St.Louis Fair and died yesterday.There is no clue to the perpetrator of the outrage.The trotter had won $15,000 and was valued at $25,000.Silverton, Col., Dec.24\u2014The bodies of Burke Hovey and J.M.Scales, the two miners who were imprisoned in Prodigal Son by a suowslide on Monday, were found late last night at the bottom of the shaft dead.Both were packed in the snow as in a mould.Hovey was found standing six feet from the bottom npon & piece of timber.Scales was standing at the bottom of the shaft with a candle in his left hand and his right over his eyes shading them and looking upward.Death was apparently instantaneous.Scales was from Texas and Hovey from Woodstock XT O\t\u2022 N.B.William Warren tells s delicions story about a St.Louis man who went east last summer and banted up the poet Whittier.He found the quiet old qaaker poet trying to hide from civilization in a farmhouse near iSahant.He bad gone there to escape just such bores as the St.Lonis man was.At first he declined to see the visitor, saying that he was not feeling strong, but the Missouri man waa so persistent that at last Whittier yielded and he waa admitted.He pounced upon the poet and nearly shook his arm from the socket.He declared that he adored the poet\u2019s works\u2014in fact, he read nothing else.He asked Whittier to write his name a few hundred times on a sheet of note paper that he might distribute the authographs among his friends, and it waa all the poet could do to keep the impetuous visitor from cutting the buttons from his coat to carry away as mementoes.\u201cAnd all the time,\u201d said Whittier pathetically as he recounted hia adventure, \u201che called me Whittaker.| Marietta, Ohio, December 24\u2014A great well of natural gaa was struck this morning two miles west of here.81 Wilkesbabre, Pa., Dec.24\u2014The situation at Nanticooke remains unchanged.As far as can be asoertained the black damp has been cleared from the slope near where it is supposed the men are imprisoned.The rescuing party did no work in No.1 slope today, and Superintendent Morgan will not ask them to again face the danger there.The only efforts now being made are in the clearing of the main slope, which is solidly packed with sand and rock.This debris cannot be removed very quickly.As soon as the miniog engineers meet and devise some new plan for reaching the imprisoned men, the mine company will at once begin to prosecute the ¦earch regardless of expense.New York, Dec.24\u2014Dynamite circles were much disturbed to-day at the report that Capt.Phelan, of Kansas City, had been seen yesterday in Jersey City.Capt.Phelan is the man who while visiting O\u2019Donovan-Kossa\u2019s office, about a year ago, was stabbed 13 times by Dick Short.A man who knows Phelan well is positive that he saw him in Jersey City within 24 hours.Rocky Moun-tain O\u2019Brien, who is said to know more about the Phelan-Short affair than anyone else, said today : \u201cI\u2019ve heard that rumor of Phelan being here, but I don\u2019t believe it.If he wants any satisfaction, however, he knows well enough where to look for it.When I was ont in Kansas two weeks ago he nad no intention of coming here and from what I have heard from there he is not likely to change his mind.\u201d\t6 Sparksvilik, Miss., Dec.25\u2014Seven convicts working on W.H.Honey\u2019s plsntation mutinied yesterday and killed Powers, a colored guard, and escaped.A mau named Turner who pursued them was shot, but will recover.It is said the mutiny was the result of inhuman treatment on the part of Powers towards the convicts.SOUTH AMERICA* Lima, December 24\u2014The remaining forces of Col.Relayse entered the city yesterday, and all who wished to leave the ranks were allowed to do so, each man receiving one silver sol.A battalion of young men, which was formed to do duty at the Palace and to preserve order in the city, was disbanded yesterday.With the return of the pol.ce force to their duties, and the re-establhh ment of order, it is no longer considered necessary that ex-President Iglesias and hi should remain away from the city.The electric light system will be inaugurated to-night in this city.Panama, December 24\u2014Gen.Cacerea will probably be elected ^President of Peru to Montreal, Deo.24\u2014The

Lienteoant-Governor Masson will be ; tsken into the Cabinet to replaceSir A.Pt Caron, who will be made Lientenant-Governor I of the Province.The Central Board of Health have sent a peremptory letter to the Sister in charge of Longue Point Asylum iastructing her to have all the patients vaccinated at ooce.In con nection with the outbreak of small-pox in the institution, Sister Ste.Therese, the Lady Superior, gives her version of it as follows : The first case of small-pox that broke out in the Asylum was that of a male lunatic who contracted the disease no person knows how.He was immediately isolated in a separata ward and a guard placed with him.Great care was taken to prevent the infection from spreading among the other lunatics, but notwithstanding this 18 inmates are now down with the disease.They are in an apartment isolated from the main portion of the instituti'in.There are four Sisters in charge of this apartment aod no person ia allowed to enter or leave it.Since the outbreak three deaths have occurred from small-poX and Sister Therese now believes that no other cases or deaths will occur.Dr.Durocher visits the afflicted patients daily and they are all convalescent.In connection with what has been said with reference to Dra.Perrault and Duquet, who had been sent by Dr.Howard to vaccinate the inmates of the Asylum having been refused admittance, Sister The-r> se states that by contract between the nuns of her order and the Government it was agreed that the former possessed the sole right of choosing medical gentlemen for their institution.Therefore Dr.Howard had not the right, even in his quality of Government Inspector, to dispatch physicians of his own choosing to perform the operations in the Asylum.Drs.Durocher and Prior were attached to the Asylum and the work of vaccinating the inmates had been performed by them and left by the Sisters entirely to their own judgment.The first two convictions for refusal to be vaocinated took place to-day, when two gentlemen, one a leading wholesale dry goods merchant, were each fined $20 or 14 days imprisonment for refusing to be vaccinated.Hon.F.Geoffrion arrived this afternoon from Philadelphia, where he haa been looking after the estate of a man named Leblanc, who had changed his name to White, which is said to be worth over $100,000 and which is in the hands of truttces.Mr.Geoffrion expects to secure the estate for some relatives of the deceased man who live at Contrecœur, near thia city.The property is situated in a business portion of Philadelphia, but when acquired by deceased, some 60 years ago, it was then outside pf the city limits.A young man named Hugh Thompson, who absconded some time ago with $25,000 of Grand Trunk funds at Portland, has

tolerable orators among; these patriots, ¦ays Julian Hawthorne, writing of scenes in the English Parliament when Parnell and McCarthy were, young.I found them far more (précâblé in sociai converse over a table or a cigar.Parnell\u2019s speeches, delivered in a harsh, constrained tone, with bis hands pressed together before him, attracted attention by their matter, not by their manner.T.P.O'Connor was Pike a tall, im- Sulaive, mischievous boy out of school, overowing with fun aud wit, a tuorongh Irishman, as the \u201cman of Galway\u201d ought to be, but with great firmness of character underlying boyishness.He was the best natural speaker of his party ; there was dash, vigor and audacity in his utterances, and I have heard him cheered by the whole House.These men, and the majority of the \u201cobstructionisti,\u201d with the exception of the elder McCarthy, were all young meu in the neighborhood of 30.This, whioli would not be an extraordinary thing in thia country, was so in Europe.McCarthy wm so genial and engaging a gentleman, and his novels and \u2022tories were so graceful and charming, that he seemed out of place as a political agitator.Nevertheless, he was os uncompromising as any ot them, and better supplied with experience and judgment than moat.THE CHRISTMAS TREE.The Christmas tree is eminently a German institution.In Germany, Christmas eve is for the children the moat joyous night in the year, as they can feast their eyes on the magnificence of a Christmas tree and rejoice in the presents which have been provided for them on its branches by their parents and friends.The tree is arranged by the senior members of the family in the principal room of the house, and with the arrival of evening the children are assembled in an adjoining apartment.At a given signal the door ot the great room ia thrown open, and in rush the juveniles, eager aud happy.There, on a long table, in the centre of the room, stands the Christmas tree, every branch glittering with little lighted tapers, while all sorts of gifts and ornaments are suspended from the branches, and possibly also numerous other presents are deposited separately on the table, all properly labelled with the names of the respective recipieats.The Christmas tree seems to be a very ancient custom in Germany, and is probably a remnant of the splendid and fanciful pageants of the middle ages.\t\u2022 A certain Duchess, happening to pass through the Burlington Arcade, in London, stopped for an instant before a bonnet shop.An elderly individual came

entirely.\u201d\tCURE RHEUMATISM.Rheumatism Is among the most painful of tho disorders arising from vitiated blood and derangement of the digestive and biliary organs.Ayer's Pills relievo and cure Rheumatism when other remedies fail.S.M.Spencer, Syracuse, N.Y., writes : \u201c I was confined to ray bed, with Rheumatism, three months, but, after using a few boxes of Ayer\u2019s Pills, became a

GOUT.S.Lansing, Yonkers, N.Y., writes: \u201c Recommended to me as a cure for chronic Costiveness, Ayer\u2019s Pills have relieved me not only from that trouble, but also from Gout.If every victim of tho disease would heed only three words of mine, I could banish Gout from the land.Those words would be, \u2018Try Ayer\u2019s Pills.\u2019 \u201d CURE INDIGESTION.Ayer\u2019s Pills act directly ou the digestive and assimilative organs, influencing healthful action, imparting strength, and eradicating disease.G.W.Mooney, Walla Walla, W.T., writes: \u201cI have suffered from Dyspepsia and Liver troubles for years past.I found no permanent relief, until I commenced taking Ayer's Pills, which have effected a complete cure.\u201d\tCURE PILES.Piles arc induced by habitual constipation, debility, indigestion, or a morbid condition of the liver.A cure is best effected by the use of Ayer\u2019s Pills.John Lazarus, St.John, N.IL, writes : \u201c I was cured of tho Piles by the use of Ayer\u2019s
