will evmtunlly be broken off, desp te the desire of the Cleveland odmioistrati-iu for a settlement, and that possibly an arbitrary committ-e writ be appointed by the Senate to determine tho di.-.-put»-d p un s in the treaty of 1818.The following special cable appears in this morning\u2019s Mail:\u2014London, Dec.23\u2014The Ca> adi-an turkeys sent by the \u201cEiruna\u201d and \u201cServia\u201d are found to be excellent b rds, in good condition and comtnendirg the highest prices, in the London provincial markets, selling at tenpeuce to a shilling per pound according to size.The Dominion farmers wiil find this a most profitable branch of industry.Much larger supplies can be received sud if of tho same quality, can be sold to great advantage.I have information that there is not the slightest foundation for any of the pessimist rep rta regarding the progress of the negotiations of t .e Anglo-American Fisheries Comm-sion.Mr.Chamberlain bas sent a full report to Lord Salisbury and the risultof the conference is awaited with perfect confidence in this country.The Royal Coniini*-»ion on horso breeding han presented a icport propodng to use the money hitherto expended in Queen\u2019s (Mates, in prizes for sial-iaus at the show connected with the exhibition of the Royal Agricultural Soci* cy at Nottingham in February.The prizes are of £200 each, eighteen being offered ia England «nd four in Scotland.The r*port states that the United Kingdom has been sw*pt by the agents of foreign govern-ineuts L r staid job ami mares, and the best suited for tin ir purpose Uavo been bought with public u.oney, frequently at prices with which it was impossible for private enter-pri-e successfully lo compete.Until some means is found c f r» taming the most valuable animals, it is vam to expect a marked or permanent iinproveinen* in the breed of nom-s.Not havmg rutficient funds to te-comint n I the f R S A R \u2022 \u2022 ATI an.3tK7;Ca»»t WR.chaid: ,n NOVA SCOTIAN.3305 Catt RH Hrchc- .PEi.UVIAN.«38 CaptJO te; hen CvSPIAN.272- Cart A.M< IV.-gal) POM KR AM A N.43»; l Cai.t W ] alri-1 CARTHAGINIAN.4214 Cc-jt A MaenicoL BUENOS AY KEAN 1075 Cai.t J Sco*r.ASSN RIAN*.£970 ra, t W S Mein SIBERIAN.::9!

attentively as ho ought to read it, favors us with the following lines : \u201cIf, instead of entertaining a airy fad like \u2018Commercial Union,\u2019 the Quebec Chroniclk had taken in hand to organize a deputation to Ottawa to protect the scheme of mail steamers of 7,000 tons burden, it would have done a far greater thing for Quebec.As things are, Montreal has, as usual, got the start of us, and will prob ably succeed in imposing smaller vessels on Canada for a long term of years to suit her particular interests as a port.Our correspondent belongs to that class of citizen, who does nothing but cry down the place aud say \u201cjust like Quebec,\u201d no matter what happens.As a matter of fact, the Chronicle ha* only been too much alive to the interests of our city.We have repeatedly rebuked the uee'r do*wells, the obstacles to progress, who like our correspondent, do nothing but grumble and complain from morning until night.Delegations to Ottawa are all very well.We have sent several of them there and what have they accomplished t The Premier speaks usually a few pleasant, non-committal words, and there the matter ends.We must do something more than senda handful of gentlemen to the Capital, with an with the hallowed ascription\u2014\u201cGlory to God in the highest, and on earth peace goodwill toward men.\u201d The humble ahep herds sought the same spot where the wicked king\u2019s messengers had prostrated themselves.So met the ambassadors of royalty and tho subjects of poverty at the side of the sacred cradle.Then came the warnings as to the safety of the babe, the day of circumcision, and tho spectacle of the visit of devout old Simeon, who rushed to see the Christ, the hope of his longing and his waiting, aud holding the Son of Man .up in his arms delivered himself of that enjoying anthem \u2014\u201cNow lettest thou thy servant depart 0 Lord, according to thy word, in peace for mine eyes have seen thy salvation which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples ; a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and tho glory of thy peopl Israel.\u201d Yet another visitor calls to con gratulate parents and child, the pious Anna, a woman bowed down with 84 years, who, in her expectancy of a Messiah \u201cdeparted not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.\u201d After she had blessed God for what her eyes had beheld, she went about the city and told everybody w\u2019ho was waiting for the redemption of Israel what she had seen.Then came the return to Galilee of parents and child.The story is not ex celled in attractiveness or beauty by any thing in any language.It is the fouuda tion of more than Christmas ; of that of which Christinas is merely the emblem The event just sketched was the begin ning of a civilization the growth of which has bean marvellous, tho blessings of which have penetrated to tho remotest corners of the earth, planting peace and prosperity wherever its light has shone.Our com merce by land and by water, our great iron highways spanning continents, and our great steamships traversing tho trackless paths of the ocean, our manufactories an workshops,our arts and sciences,our schools and colleges, our post offices and our tele graphs\u2014all the facilities for furnishing whatever is needed by mankind under every variety of circumstances to-day, are the result* of the civilization which was honoured at its inception in the city of Bethlehem by the wise men, by tho shoi herds, by Simeon, by Anna, and by all who waited and hoped for the great re demptiou.The spiritual (light introduces the mind into Higher, loftier altitudes as Christmas is contemplated.Krumuchcr has imagined what an effect w-ould be pro duced upon a visitor ti earth who, Christmas morning, should take lus position on a high mountain, from which he could hear the sounds and the echoes from all quarters of the world ; from whence he could discern the>loud hallelujahs of mil lions of joyous singers, the instrumentation of thousands of bands of music, the beat ing of drums, the ringing of church bells the voice of prayer\u2014ascending like sweet incense to the highest heavens, and all lauds uniting in the angelic anthem which was sung to the shepherds.\u201cAud for what is all this I\" The stran ger s told the story which w- have repeat ed, and like those who hosted to the stable on that sublimeatof all morni gs on earth he too prostrates himself and falls in witii the general joy of the world.We have lost the exact date of the event, but the fact has been embalmed by confirmations and testimonies that wise men do not doubt.But if even history could he sup posed to reverse the whole order of its chronicles, mankind would not only not hesitate, but would rise in holy aiul deter mined protest against tho abolition of Christmas, because it is the symbol of all that is worth holding in precious, sacred embrace in the w »rld.As wu salute each < ther with \u201cA Men Cnriatmas\u201d it may do no harm to have the mind trimmed with the remembrance of what we might have been without ihe in cident in the Bethlehem stable, and of vhat we are and what we enjoy under the light of the civilization of nineteen centu ries.The world is still yearning fur re demptiou.Men are in unrest, waiting for more unfolding of truth, and hoping ftr a Clulatmas at the Citadel.There was a grand Ccristmas diuner at the Citadel yesterday at one o\u2019clock.Two large rooms were beautifully decorated with ever green?, ttegs and mottoes appropriate to the oce&iiou.The
