.inoi| j\u2019ajme leg ^pgi^jg .»» but in spite of it 1 believe in the English hat as the best thingof its ugly kind.As for the Englishman's feeling with reference to it, a foreign-er might be pardoned for thinking it waa bis fetich, a.North American Indian for looking at it r,s taking the place of bis own me-dicinedjag.It is a common thing for the Englishman to say his prayers into it, as he sits down in his pew.Can it be that this imparts; a religious character to the article?Howev er this may be, the true Londoner\u2019s hat is cured for as reverentially as a High-Church altar.Far off its coming shines.I was all rays impressed by the fact that even with iia a well-bred gentleman in reduced circnnr.«tances never forgets to keep his bsaver well brushed, and I remember that long ago I spoke, of the bat ss the ultimum moriens of what we used to call gentility,\u2014the last thing to perish in the decay of a gentleman's outfit.Hia hat is as sacred to an Englishman as his be.'*rd to a Mussulman.\u2014October Atlantic.sal of the relics has not been settled.The final repositories for them which are suggested are the parliamentary buildings or the French Church of Notre Dame, Montreal.They have come to Canada at the suggestion of Lord Dufferin.Kingston.Oct 1\u2014The entire motive power of the famous Red River Valley Railway, consisting of one locomotive, has been sold by the Kingston Locomotive works to Mr.J.J-McDonald for the River du Loup and Ei-muniten Railway, the Manitoba Government having been unable to pay for it and Mr.Ryan, the contractor, having

its success.Complaints are still made of the depredations of French fishermen on English smacks in tho North Sea.The Imperial Government are bemg urged to send sup rior vessels with elee*rie 1'ght to afTml adequate p'otectroo.Tne age of admission of naval eu^i lerrshas been ra'sed to sixteen years, and the sctouls of instruction have been placed under a board of education presided over by Admiral Hoskins.Winnipeg, Man., Oct.3\u2014The climax in the Red River Valley Railway matter is up proaching.Contractor Haccy stated to-day that owing to the present unsatisfactory financial arrangements and the fact that the August estimate was not yet paid, he had sent word last night to all sub-contracto.s to cease work till further instructions, and as it appears to be impossible for ths Govrrament to get funds, it is probable work on tha road will be altogether abandoned, at least for this year.There will doubtless be a howl in the city over this denouement and there may be a demand made on the Government for an appeal to the country by a general election to obtain a defini'e expression of opinion from the people, but it is cot likely the Government will accede.All tilk of violent measures is cm i lere 1 idle, for, as a prominent local member of Par lament to-day said, \u201cThere has been so much talk of rebellion for the Ret three or four years that no person wants to be a rebel.\u201d A propos tion has bsen made to call a public meeting as soon as Mr.Norquay returns and ask him to give an explicit statement of his négociations in New York and elsewhere.He is expected home to-morrow.Lariviere has returned but declines t) say anything at present.The Call says .\u201cThinking people in the Province are growing more and more convinced that au amicable and speedy settlement of the dispute is desirable in the interest of all parties.It is not likely that any time will be lost by the Provincial Government in bringing the case of tho Province before the Queen in Council, not to be dealt with by the Judicial Committee of the Couu-cil ou purely legal lints, but by the Executive Committee, who could very well act as arbitrators or mediators, as Earl Carnarvon

which the writer offers interest* ing notes on some features of social life in the Dominion, dealing specially with Ontario.He alludes briefly to political topics, saying that when the tariff proves a failure, as ultimately it must, there is no telling what tho next move will be, hence the future of the Dominion is not very bright.Tne stock markets were slightly totter on the week, though the movements in Canadian securities wera very slight.The Grand Truck traffic ttatement shows a good monthly revenue, and the statement published today was also encouraging.The result has been a rise in most of the trunk stocks, second preference bairg specially in demand, 'lhe Canadian Pacific revenue statement was also better than was expected, but the effect on the market was practically nil.Owing to the continued influence of apprehensions respecting the New York market, Canadian Government loans are unchanged, except 3$ P\u201cr cents, which are one-half per cent hi \u2019her.Fhere is no

Il I mm), oct.4, is*?.HERE AND THERE.Very general dissatisfaction prevails in legal circles in this Province, just now.The law\u2019s delay was never so persistently formidable as it is at present, but strange to say the fault is this time, not that of the lawyers.Practically, there are two vacancies on the Quebec Bench.We say practically, because though we have the judges, owing to illness and other causes, we cannot have the benefit of their services.The result is that a large amount of work is in arrears.The working judges do the best they can, but they cannot do all the work of the absentees.There is a limit which they may not exceed.Clients complain, the judges complain, the members of the Bar complain.Now there is only one way out of the difficulty.The Government must appoint two extra judges, and the appointments cannot be made a day too soon.Judges cannot bo expected to wear themselves out simply because two of their colleagues find themselves unable, physically, to attend to their duties.Dissatisfaction has existed a long time.But patience has ceased to be a virtue.The Government ought to have no difficulty in the matter of selection The Quebec Bar is rich in material from whom a couple of good judges could be had.an assurance that modification may be looked for ; ami it should be the aim of all concerned to make that modification as equitable as possible.NOTES AND NEWS- HI RE AND ELSEWHERE.LOCAL AM) : OTHERWISE.La\u2019Banque Nationale.HT3 It will be seen by advertisement that a epe-eial general meeting of the shareholders of this hank is called for the t?3rd November next, in order to tike into consideration the question of a reduction of the capital stock.THE TAX ON COMMERCIAL COMPANIES {From the Altnetanj 'J mus.) 1 here can be no doubt that the tax on commercial companies, which we cannot be surprised at the Quebec Government feeling itself bound to collect, will bear with exceptional severity on the smaller associations.All commercial companies, however low the amount of their capital, pay the same amount of tax as they would pay if their capital were $250,000 ; in other words, every company having a capital of that amount and of any figure below it has to pay a tax of $150 a year.In tho ascending scale, each additional $250,000 pays only one third as much as tho first $250,-000.This inequality will operate to the serious detriment of the smaller companies.< hie company has a paid-up capital of only $800 \u2014the Cheese Compary, of Plessisville \u2014and when it pays the five years\u2019 arrears of taxes, itsjcapital, supposing it to have no reserve on which to draw - and it could not have much, if any, its capital will be nearly wiped out ; only $50 will remain.It is now apparent that the details of the measure were ill considered, or such a thing could not have happened.Of course if the tax had been paid as it should have been, year by year, the wiping out of capital would have been less serious : still $150 tax payable from a capital of $800 is far too heavy to be withinthe hounds of reason.If it be said that no company with so low a capital ought to hare come into existence, tlie answer is that it was created under the law and to that extent the law is responsible.M.Mercier has good reason for admitting that tho tax law requires modification.It is clear, in the first place, that the minimum tax, on the smailer companies, is too high.The graduation of the tax on banks, by jumps of $250,000, is well enough ; it is not inequitable as between the different banks of varying capital, but there is a large number of companies with small paid up capitals, to which, the smaller of them especially, an annual tax of $150 is a serious item.A Montreal contemporary reproduces from the books of a commercial agency the several amounts of the paid-up capital of the different companies of which the capital is below $250,000.A glance at the list will show the hardship of the minim uni rate on the smaller companies :\u2014 Paid rp Montreal.\tCapital Canada F breCo.$25.000 Canad* Jute Co.35,000 CsnaJa Wire Co.12.500 Caaadian .Sub cript on Co.8 000 Canada Railway News Co.30.000 La

Explosion.Conclusion of the Inquest Yesterday.VERDICT OK \u201cCULPABLE NEGLIGENCE.\u201c The inquest upon the bodies of the victims of the Island exptos'on was continued yesterday mr ruing at 10 30 at St.Pierre.Island of Orleans, by Coroner Relleau.Mr.Bosse, Q C., appeared for Major Prévost and Mr.Taschereau of Mnntvmbault, Langelier, Lan-gelier & Taschereau for the Godbout family.Amongst the witnenees present were Lt.Col.Montizambert, Col.Forrest, Major Short, Major Prévost.Superintendent of the Cartridge Factory, Captain Farley and the men of \u201cR\u201d Battery who accompanied him to the Island on tbe occasion of the testing of the shrlis, Col.Montizambert was the first witness at yesterday\u2019s sitting.Ho produced the letter written hy Major Prévost, asking permission of the Minister of Militia to test tho shells made by him at the Government factory, to use the guns on the Island for that purpore, and to have the astistai.ee of a number of men of the Baltary.'The request was granted.Witness knew nothing pertoually of the firing on the day in question.Tha shells fir-d on the Island were never gather-d up by the military authorities, wlu-tli r I hey exploded or not, for they went so far that those firing, lost all trace of them.The objective piint is rn the beach, and the canons are nlno d on an elevation 1.500 or 1,800 yards f om the target.Major Prévost haadirectid the firing of these c mo i hut once this autumn.I He was quite sure of this fact, since nobody What is the matter with the Post Office authorities at Montreal I We hope that it is not the smoke.During the last three days the mails from the West have been nearly twelve hours behind, and enquiries at our Post Office have failed to elicit the cause of the delay.The matter must be looked into.There is no excuse for three delays happening in one week.The fault seems to he at Montreal, though the Toronto Post Office authorities are not wholly free from blame.In winter time these delays would be provoking enough Intheautumntimetheyare almost criminal.Will the Post Office Inspector pLaa wake up and tell us all about it ?The Hon.Hevtok Fabre, whopuhlishe8 Paris-Canada in the Gay Capital of France* ought to read up a little.In his last issue he learns that five fortitjn frigates of war were in the port of Quebec, during exhi.bition week.Three of them the Minerve, the Tourmaline and the Bouvet carried, he remarks, the French dag, while the other tw foreign frigates, were the Bellerophon and the Canada and they carried the Bri.tish flag.Our esteemed High Commis sioner ought to know by this time, that a British man-of-war is not a foreigner in a Canadian port.The Tourmaline in his list, is a British boat.If it be true, as a telegram in the Montreal papers hint, that the city of Quebec is wholly defenceless should she be threatened with an epidemic, it is high time that something is done in the matter.W are informed that there is no health office in Queliec, that there is no sanitary office in Quebec, and that there is no organ ization of any kind in Quebec, looking to the public health of the com munity.Now if all these statements are true, why allow this deplorable condition of things to remain a day longer '! The Star says :\u2014 \u201cWhen the members of the Provincial Board of Health called upon the chairman of the Quebec local Board of Health yesterday they were astonished to hear from him that the city was without the slightest means of preventing or even grappling with an epidemic if one should declare itself in the Ancient Capital.There was no health office, no sanitary office and no organization of any kind.In fact the city is entirely at the mercy of disease.When the chairman was told hy Dr.Lachapelle that it was therefore by no means astonishing that the death rate was higher in Quebec than in Montreal, he answered that this fact had never come under his notice.The members of the Provincial Board held a meeting shortly afterwards and discussed several important questions.\u2019 Dr.Rinvret has a duty to perform, and we beg to call on him to perform it, or resign and give somebody else a chance.The city cannot aflord to take risks.And when are those headless iron lamp, posts coming down f Wo hear that a squabble on the subject exists between the Gas Light Company and the Corporation, and until it is arranged wo are likely to have these dangerous nuisances continue to block the way.We do not care about the squabble, or who comes out best, in the end, hut we do insist that the lamp-posts come down and that too betore the snow flies.It is disgraceful that they should remain where they are, now that they are of no use to the city.A village corporation in Ontario would have got rid of them long ago.The fact is we have too much squabbling, and not enough

equal severity the law would, at its inception have been seen to he intolerable We are told on tho highest legal au thority that this is a direct tax ; otherwise looking at the economical aspect of the tax, we should have concluded, that tho blow would sometimes rebound, and strike that (parties.It is clear of course that the Fromagerie de Rlesaisville Company cannot raise the price of cheese above the market rate, or collect from it) purchasers one dollar of the tax whichit pays ; but it is not so certain that the Canada Wire Company for instance, cannot get something back from its customers, or that in this way the fanners will not have to pay a trifle of tax when they put up wire fences.It would seem that many of the companies have been buoyed up with the hope that they would n*»t have the tax to pay ; that its imposition would he declared illegal, and they may not all have made the necessary provision for its payment.The large com panics have reserves to draw upon ; hut several of the smaller ones have not the same resource.Much money has been spent in litigation, which cannot he recover ed, since the costs fall on the litigating companies.The several com (.allies are m this position : they have been contending that the tax was indirect, that it is a tax which they could collect from their customers : and if they believed in this con tention, prudence would have required them to do so, sinco the result of the legal contestation was uncertain.Have they done so ?If they have, iftey will not hé hurt by the tax.As a matter of fact, there is no reason to suppose that any considerable proportion ot the companies, if any of them, have collected the tax from their clients ; and it will therefore fall on their own shoulders with the force of five years\u2019 accumulation.The question of modifying the law remains ; modifieation is favorably received by the Local Government, and it is as good as certain that something will he done in that direction.It is obvious that relief will require to he given to t jo smaller companies, hy reducing the minimum tax.If, in the higher figures, a red action can he effected, all that is possible, in the present temper of the habitant which is likely to ho permanent, will ho dono.No doubt the Government will not err for want of advice, for of advice it is sure to get a good supply.There are other conceivable cases in which the tax, no matter how equitably arranged, as between (lifl\u2019erent companies, may work hardship.It is conceivable that there may come an unfortunate year, in the history of any company, large or small, in which it might fail to make any profit, and in that event, the tax would work an impairment of capital.Tlie impairment of capital through taxation is always a matter of regret -, as i general rule, it can and ought to be prevented ; the only question here is, whatever exceptional cases can or should he provided for.This, if done, would somewhat detract from the certainty of the tax, which, from a financial administrator s point of view, is an everpresent requisite.It is something to have .firing purposes for 25 years.It had been in on * SB*ccte^ f°r reasons of public safety.It was ia-nn î fa8y *or thn8e nun on near t^e torg®* to warn people out of danger by means cf trumpets, flags, etc.It Wes almost impossible for accidents to occur during the firing.The witness did not know if the target was placed nearer the land this year than formerly, but the officer commanding the firing party could always displace it.It was usually judiciously placed.He could not say whether the residents of St.Fieri e were warned before firing tr ok p\u2019ace.He had never heard that the men of \u201cB\u201d Buttery were a'rai l to go with Major Prévost whoa he wis t-sting new ammunition, and that Capt.Farley was the only offior that was willing to go.Major Short was examined but gave no evidence beating upon the subject of the inquest, except that certain shells, the shrap-nell for instance, did cot always explode when fired.Lt.-Col.Forrest produced documents establishing the fact that the beach upon which the tUing occurred was leased to the Federal and Imperial G jveromests.Felix Noel, in virtue of tlrs lease, reci ived $60 p?r year, and Madame Genevieve Planta $24, and that for the last 17 years Majir Provost, Superintendent of the Car tridge Factory, deposed that his party fired thirteen shells on the 22nd Septembir last that had been made at his factory and two Woolwich shells.The shots were fired to test the ammunition made at the factory, and Captain Farley was in comman 1 of the fatigue nirty from \u201cB\u201d Ba\u2019teiy, which conducted the firing under his directions, while Lieut.Hearn was in charge of the range patty at the tar gets.Their duty was to watih tlie course of the shells and reciver as many as possible of them after they had been fired, for the pur pose of bringing them up to town for future study at the factory.Witness described the course fo'lowed by moat of the ahella fired L\u2019eut.Hearn, Assistant Superintendent of the Cartridge Factory, corroborate 1 the evi deuce of the last witness as to his duty near the target, and related that he had taken ob serrations and reports of the course acd con duct of the various shells fired, and hai\talso searched\tfor them after they had been fired, as directed They had succeeded in uicuring one shell and a portion of another, which they brought up to towu.It was difficult to recover the shells on account of the nature of the soil for they generally sank in the mud.He and the men under him pick\u2019d up and came away about twenty minutes after the firing seated, in order to catch the last boat from ti e Island to the city that night.On asuhiequent day two meo were sent down from the cartridge factory to the Island to search for other shells.Jean Leulero, farmer, deposed that he re covered three of the shells in question after the firing on the 22ud instant, and produced them all.Tha coroner gave them into the charge of Sergeint Harpe of the Provincial Police who brought them ti towu together witb a fourth, being that fount lyihg close by where the deceased children had been killed by the explosion of another.Major Prévost having identified the plug from the shell which caused the death of the three children, as that from one of his shells, dep s-d that it was difficult, almost impos sihle, to withdraw such plugs after the shell had b'eu fired, without a special key.'1 he Coroner examined the aurriving child,

sometimei amiable) idiot, with whom it was quite impossible to do business.Oa the other hand, they are responsible for the conviction, for many vears so prevalent throughout Ireland, which Mr.j.F.X.O\u2019Brien, in hie letter to the Daily Nru:-i.confesses himself to have long entertained, but to have now got rid of, \u201cthat n»ver again in Irish history would a man aries to wield the \u2018moral force agencies' with power equal to O Connell's.\u201d This conviction led directly to Fenianism, with all its attendant miseries ; in fact it was not until the Youug Ireland leaven had worked itself out completely, that i\u2019arucllism became possible Parnellism is the very antithesis of Young Irelandi-m Parnellism is sensible and sober, and understands men, and even book-keeping.Psrneliism.in fact, is rational.The Young Irelanders wore not.They p sseased every good quality except good s-rse and the first four rules of arithmetic.They were nice men, and their poetry, and even some of their prrse, will always be delightful readieg.But there was hardly one of them who was fit to be a bank clerk.Now, a man who is not fit to he a bank clerk will never save h * cruotry.Several of the largest landowners in West Prussia have formed a society to promote the breeding of wild turkeys, wnich are not only very good gim.e, hut they are also excellent at table.There was a flock of wild turkeys, which was estimated at two thousind, in Richmond Park up to the reign of George II., and the Duke of Cumberland bred them in Windsor Great Park.There was also a flo»k at Holkham early in the present century, an 1 it was there discovered that a brown Norfolk turkey may be made to resemble the wild h rd hy fattening it with walnuts soaked in water for some days before killing.A \u201c well \u201d and yet ill informed correspondent, whom I recommend to the Times, tele-zrapbed the other day to Le Soir that Sir diaries Dilke is going to shift his Lares and Penates to a chateau in the North of France.Another Paris paper \u201cimproved\u201d on this news by saying that the chateau Sir Charles was going to live in was the Comte de Paris\u2019s one at Eu.Sir Charles, as a matter of fact, has created for himself too much work ever to pass tne month of November in the South of France.He and his wife merely go there now to visit their old friends, M.and Madame Emile O livicr, at St.Trope/.When they go whence it will tu to Milan, to meet an Italian Statesman, the leader of an important section of the Chamber of Deputies at Rome.>ir Charles and Lady Dilke spend a fortnight at Constantinople and a few days at Athens, and thence return to London to bring < willing lode wtnout them.But after all r'c head ACHE Is frc bane of so ninny lives that here is where ws make our great boast.Our pills cure it wbilo \u2022there do not.Carter s Little Liver Pills are Very small and *ery easy to take.One or two pills makea dose.They are strictly vegetable and do not gripe or pur.Te, but by taeir gentle action p.cascailwho nse them.L.vials at 25 cents; five for Zl.Bold »y druggists everywhere, or sent by mail.^ CARTER MEDICINE CO.* .New Y eric Oft*.THE IHOPIS HOUSE, ST.HILAIRE, P.Q., IS NOW OPEN !
