the real and the simulated naïveté (one as good as the other) ; the original thoughts, Uie pretty hits of poetico-artistic description of places and peoples, the witty criticisms built upon a concrete of common sense, the information running, warp and weft, through tlie entire fabric\u2014the paper, in short, from beginning to end, gave us one of the most delightful treats over enjoyed at a British Association meetin\".It was eloquent, clever, refined, womanly and vigorous.\u201d Altogether Miss Dowie has made for herself almost as big a place in the talk of the women of England os Miss Fawcett made for herself some months ago.That bright woman, by the way, shows that her knowledge extends beyond mathematics, in which she beat the men of Cambridge, by a sympathetic and highly creditable article in the November Contemporary Review on \u201cChild Marriage in India.\" A Picture of Livingstone.Livingstone, to Iw sure, did little to encourage the idea of gold.The only gold visi ble about him was tlie gold of bis character, and a remarkable hat-band of the same color he always persisted in wearing, whether in Africa or in Europe.That gilded hat-band hail probably much to do with the conversion of the savage to Christianity, which was the purpose for which Livingstone travelled, toiled, and died.He had probably found it an open sesame to distinction in tbe minds of the natives.It was a most awe-inspiring diadem ; and if it avails on the captain\u2019s head or the merchantipan\u2019s deck, why should it not help discipline and enforce awe on the cbddren of Ham?When there remained little to mark Livingstone as an Englishman, when his skin was burned dark brown, and his speech had become almost wholly Mako-lolo, that golden hat-band remained to distinguish him outwardly from the others.But how far above ordinary mortal\u2019s was that man\u2019s character! None more pure, none more faithful, more unselfish, more calmly courageous and merciful, was ever fonned by God.To lift the dweller in heathen degradation in heart and body to happier consciousness and higher existence, and lo learn the secrets of his land, that it, with him, should be opcu to better influences, was his sole and simple end and aim.He delighted, too, in the majesty of the new scenes lie was the first to see and to describe.I remember how, after a long walk in the Highlands, he threw himself down in quiet delight on the heather on a hill summit, and compared his own Sostland with the country in which he had spent so many trying years.He liked to describe in his slow speech, full of the acquired gutturals and liquid sounds of the African tongue he had so long spoken, bis impressions of some of the great wonders of nature in Africa.\u2014From The.Partition of Africa, by the Marquis of Lorn* in the North Atnericnn Review for December._______________________ Free-Trade England.f Toledo Blade.) The Cincinnati Commercial GazeJUt calls upon us to consider the figures of England's misery, and thereupon stales them as follows:\u2014 700,000 criminals.22,000 juvenile thieves.100,000 fallen women.500,000 drunkards, with an annual mortality of 60,000.Annual cost of liquors, $750,000,000.Suicides last year, 2,297.Found dead last year, 2.157.Annual death rate of children from violence or neglect, over 10,000.The absolutely homeless in Great Britain, over 100,000.The wretchedly poor of England, over.3,000,000.Out'of work, 100,000.In work-houses.190,000.London\u2019s official charity expenses, about $5.000,000 a year.The dire poverty of the masses is the secret of all this misery.That poverty is due to an economic system which keeps wages down to too low a rate.That system is free trade, which makes a god of \u201ccheapness\u201d and ignores the fact that too great cheapness necessarily implies cheap men and cheap women.And that is the sort of cheapness the free trade doctrinaires are desirous of introducing into the United States.Are the American people ready to adopt the English system, with its prodigious amount of poverty, and resultant vice and crime ?A Fable of To Day.A Reporter, having discovered a Policeman Asleep in a door way, aroused him with Much Vigour and Cried out : \u201cAnd is this the \\\\ ay you Guard the Public from Danger ?\u201cGently, my Friend,\u201d Replied the Officer as he rubbed Sleep from his eyes.\u201cBut you Should l*e reported for this ! \u2019 \u201cCalm yourself.I own that I fell Asleep and neglected my Duties, but had I not done so I might have Clubbed some Innocent Man and thereby erred on the other had.\u201d\u2014Detroit Free Press.A Simple Plan.Mr.Youngnnui (after long thought) \u201cIs there any way to find out

speech at Waterfort, Lancashire, this evei -ing, said that while he praised the moral outburst against Mr.Parnell, he regretted that the breaches of the sixth and eighth command men ts committed by tlie Irish people had hitherto been allowed to pass without Mams.Messrs.Healey aud Sexton, after supporting their leader, had turned and rent him.Tlie Liberal leaders, Lord Salisbuiy said, took no decided view regarding Mr.Parnell until they saw tbe effect which the revelations bad on the religious portion of the community.He challenged Mr.Gladstone to give the tacts concerning the Hawarden interview.A crisis, he declared, was inevitable sooner or later front the very nature t( the alliance between the Li lierais and Horn*.Riflers.Such a vague, dark policy would Lw impossible in the future.Lord Thomas Francis F remonte Cottesloe is dead.He was twice Secretary to thw Treasury aud had also been Secretary of War and Chief Secretary for IrwUod.He was 92: years old.On the Stock

Dec.3\u2014Advices from Orenburg, Eastern Russia, say that the mei-cury suddenly fell from tbr»ee degrees of warmth to 30 degrees of cold.Four caravans of horses, sheep and camels and 30 kerghes, who were ridiug across the Steppe were frozen to death.UNITED STATES.Omaha, Neb., Dec.3\u2014A special from Pin» Ridge says that zero weather and a storm of cutting sleet prevails here.The troops are hugging their camp fires while the Indians arc freezing in their gauze-like tepes outside the agency precincts.To-day, agent Royer will call in all the Indians at the agency and give them a big feed.Should the storm continue and should there be a heavy fall of enow, tne ponies of the Indians now here and whose hay has been stolen by the hostiles would die of starvation.At the best this winter will be very tough.The Indians who have bowed their heads to the Government rule are suffering, while their reliellious and thieving brothers are living ou the fat of the land.Nf.w York, Dec.3\u2014The Aldiue Club gave a reception to Mr.Henry M.Stanley and wife this afternoon.The crush was unprecedented and the guests received the greetings extended by the wealth and fashion of Gotham.Many prominent persons were present.This evening Mr.Btanley lectured at Chickeriug Hall to a good-sizod audience.The lecture was entitled : \u201c The full story of the rear guard.\u201d The substance of it has already been published.The lecturer said tho expeditiou had at first decided upon a route from Zanzibar due west, but about thirteen days before the expedition sailed from Loudon, King Leopold urged upon them to change their route.Referring to the rear guard, Stanley said : \u201c I have been accused of slandering the dead.It is worse to villify the living.'1 He dee-cribed Barttelot\u2019s conduct, and declared the rear column had been destroyed by the irresolution of its officers.There was nothing to excuse the rear column continuing at Yambuya, when they saw their men stricken down by plague.He heard that Barttelot was waiting to hear of war breaking out be-tweeu Russia and England when he would return.The other officers of the rear guard, Stanley asserted, should have entered protests against Barttlot\u2019s conduct, aud if they could not have ousted him from the leadership by these means they could have bound him and sent him down the river as a madman.Stanley remarked : \u201cWas Barttelot insane ?I\u2019m afraid insanity must have overtaken tho surviving officers or I must be insaue myself.Their docile acquiescence to Barttelot was certainly astonishing.\u201d Stanley said he did not force the unpleasant incidents of the rear column upon the public, but the friends of the dead men in trying to vindicate them hurled all sorts of false accusations against him and he was compelled to defend.Certain people had called the expedition a land grabbing scheme, The good it achieved for civilization and commerce was his detcncc.He could afford to say of such men the won\u2019» whispered in prayer on Calvary : \u201cFather forgive them, they know not what they do.\" IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.HOUSE OF COMMONS.London, Dec.3\u2014lu the Honse of' Commons to-day, the Irish Land Purchase BUI passed the second reading by 268 to 130.Mr j Parnell and bis followers voted with the Government.A Street Crossing.The Strand near the corner of Wellington street is not a quiet, secluded, shady country lane.It is, in * fact, one of the busiest streets iu the world.The other daylnoticed andelderly.studioiis-lookinggen-tlcman with a book in his hand threading hia way slow ly up the Strand.He was intent on the book, which ho held close to his face, for he was evidently short-sighted.The crowd jostled him hither and thither, but he didn\u2019t seem to mind it, keeping his attention fixed all the time on the pages liefore him.All at once he looked up and seemed to realize that he should lie on the other side of the street.He turned, and slowly marched across the bustling Strand a little above the corner, where it requires the constant attention of four policemen to regulate the traffic, and keep people from being run over, but not for a moment did he take his eyes from tbe book.He walked serenely over the busiest street in the w orld, reading away as if he were iu a country field.Why he was not run over a dozen times, and mangled to death at least twice, no mortal can tell.Perhaps it was because London \u2019bus and cabmen are such good and careful drivers, or perhaps Providence looked after him.Two or three hansom horses were pulled hack suddenly on their haunches, a \u2019busman turned his team almost at right angles to his vehicle, and there was some frightful swearing from the driveis.The phrase, \u201cYou bloomin\u2019 gard\u2019ner,\u201d which represents the highest watermark of.contempt in the vocabulary of the London cabman, was hurled at him from all sides ; but the learned \u201clittery gent\u201d passed on, unconscious that the epithets were flung at him, and wandered peacefully down Savoy street to the comparative quiet of the embankment, reading all the time, and doubtless unaware that lie had done about as dangerous a thing os shooting the Niagara Rapids.\u201cI don't see w hy I can\u2019t keep my husband at home,\u201d said a distressed looking little woman.\u201cWhy don\u2019t you try to make home attractive to him ?\" \u201cI have.I\u2019ve taken up the parlor carpet, sprinkled sawdust on the floor, and put a Iwer keg in the room, but | sonic wav or other it

And what did they see ?One of the cheapest and trashiest performances ever witnessed.The singers could not sing, the dancers could not dance, the actors could not act, and the jokers could not joke.The young ladies were plain in face, and their movements weje not graceful But not a vulgar word was spoken, no douUe entendre was uttered, no improper gesture was made.The show' was simply no good.The au lienee did not get their money\u2019s worth, because they did not see what they expected.They heard the ser mons, and they saw the colored posters Both clergymen and pictures deceived them.They got so mad about it, that when the curtain rose on the second night, only twenty persons had assembled to see the fascinating fascinators and the pretty posies.And so the money was returned The manager of the troupe scooped about a thousand dollars on Monday night, and he has to thank hia critics for it.Had the pictures and the show been let alone he would probably have played to about fifty dollars.PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE.SEVENTH Notes and News HERE AND ELSEWHERE.SHOWS AND THAT SORT OF THING.la Quebec a good \u201cShow Town,\u201d is question which is invariably asked by one agent of a theatrical or concert company to the other.Ta our mind, there is only one answer to that query.Our people love amusements which appeal to their higher tastes, whether it be music or the drama, but they are unable to understand why it is that Quebecers have to pay more to hear and see performances, than the pe >ple living in other towns in the Domi nion.When Madame Albani appeared here with three or four assistants, our citizens readily paid three dollars to hear the Diva.The money was well spent and no one complained.And yet the same in comparable prima donna favoured the people of Boston with a whole opera, at two dollars a seat.When bignor Liberati with hia silvercomet and brass band, played to a Quebec audience, the great cornetist invived his admirers to pay two dollars to hear him \u201c toot \u201ehis horn.\u201d\u2014as our lamented friend ex-Consul Downs would say.And yet Signor Libbbati rendered the same admirable programme in other cities of Canada, at 50 cents and a dollar, a head.When Herr Carx Zerrahn and his wonderful orchestra, delighted our peo pie at the Academy of Music last week hia impreasario charged us a couple of dol lars to hear him conduct his wonderful band of highly trained musicians.The performance was a great one, in every res pect, and no one who attended it regret ted having done jo.And yet the graceful and accomplished conductor lead the same Skilful combination of associate artists in Toronto, and threw in a well-organized chorus of two hundred and fifty voices load by Prof.TORRi noton,\u2014another mar vellous and cultured fihjcftain of his art,\u2014 and only 50 cents and 7& QW** were charged at the matinee for the best saats in the house.Similar accommodation here cost two dollar», and one dollar, according to Location.When Mr.Jack s fairy fascinators, the beautiful Creoles, the pretty posies, sang to a Quebec audience, the tax to hear them was ojje dollar, fifty cents, and thirty-five cents,-=th© jatter admitting to the gallery.And here again the pther towns of Canada were favored.The sumo performance,\u2014only more so,\u2014 was given in Montreal for 10 cents, 20 cents and 30 cents for the best seat* in the house.Now why is this so Î Mr.Harriss, who managed the Zehrahn concerts, say# that it costs money to bring hi# artists to Quebec, and that the Academy is too small to make the venture pay at ordinary rates.We will not attempt to dispute Mr.Harris».And yet his argument is open to question.Surely the artists who vi*it Montreal, and Toronto, and Ottawa, have to pay fares to get to those inland towns.And is the Theatre Royal of Montreal as large as the Quebec Academy of Music 1 And is the Academy of Music at Montreal very much bigger than Mr.Rcssell\u2019s Academy here 1 Some days ago, a couple of valued correspondents drew attention to the fact, that Quebec invariably paid more to hear the actors and singers of the day than any other city in the Dominion.The communications drew out letters from \u201cA True Lover of Music,\u201d Mr.Bishop and Mr.Harriss.All letters, on either side, were promptly printed in the Chronicle.But, to our way of thinking, the question put by \u201cA Lover of Music,\u201d was not satisfactorily answered.Our hall is large.Fares must be paid on the railroads as well to one city as to the other.In Montreal, the Zer-karn concerts, excellent as they undoubtedly were, were very lightly attended, despite the size of the room where they were given, and the well-known musical taste of the Montrealers.The fact is, money is a scarce article these days, and the people cannot afford to pay exorbitant prices, even to see Herr Zp.rrahn wield his baton, to hear Signor Liberati blow hia cornet, and to witness Mr.Jack introduce his marvels of Creole simplicity, fas- Personal Intelllsene*.Many of oar citizens will be glad to learn that Captain Pinhey, formerly owner of the Island of Orleans ferry, js in town, and look ing first-class.\u201cLa SllnerveV* Prophecy.Referring to the result of the recount tho Vaudreuil election, La Minerve says that Dr.Lalonde\u2019a success over his adversary is only momentary, and it adds:\u2014\u201cNot only will Dr.Lalonae\u2019s election be contested at once for the lienefit of Dr.Cholette, but the proceedings to disqualify him, which had oeen suspended for the time being, will be re newed with more vigor than ever.\u201d The Blorm.The temperature took a big leap upwards yesterday but there was a correapondii large fall in the afternoon,\u2014of snow, storm increased in vehemence during the evening and before midnight had attained the dimensions of a hurricane, the snow being some two to three feet in depth During the day the firemen were called out some five or six times to chimney fire#.Snow contractor# will have plenty of busi nes# on hand to-day.Halifax Table Beer.An effort was made in Halifax recently to \u2022how that \u201ctable beer\u201d was intoxicating but without success.Experiments have been made with it ; it has been analysed and various people have given various opinions Only lately one man said he drank twelve glasses of it in two hours and didn\u2019t feel any intoxicating effect* ; and it is said another gentleman went and got a pint of the aarne beer, drank it, and it made him so sick he had to go to bed and he hoped he would never have a like experience again.Then another man said he \u201ccould\u2019nt drink enoui to get full,\" and another that he could tal enough to scald a hog and it wouldn\u2019t have the least effect on him.\u2014St.John 8m.Créât Place for Deer.Yanceboro is a great town for deer, correspondent writes under date of Saturday the 22nd ult.On Tuesday last John Dixon shot one at a place called LaCook Point, about one and a halt miles from here, weighing when dressed 179 lbs.Joe Susie shot another one on Wednesday weighing when dressed 165 lbs.James Cleary shot one on Thursday weighing 145 lbs.and

After such other expenditure as was being made they should not hesitate at this.It was not right to say that Conservative Governments had treated settlors unjustly.The political history of the Province would prove the contrary and would show that the Nationalist Government was not to bo credited with all that had been done in Quebec to further tho great cause of colonization.Past Legislatures had in fact done more for settlement than the present Government, and it was unfair for Mr.Duhamel to make the charges thaï he had against preceding administrations.Hon.Mr.Mercier commenced by expressing surprise thata loader of tho gentlemanly qualities and calm judgment oi Mr.Blanchet should have grown so heated over this matter as to improperly charge Mr.Duhamel with making a political question of this colonization affair, while as a matter of fact he did the same thing himself.He entered into a defence of his Government s policy in this matter and advised the Opposition tq do as the clergy in Franco were doing submit to the existing order of affairs in the country and to the Government whose existence they could not prevent.Being six o\u2019clock the Speaker left the chair.AFTER RECESS.The House went into Committee upon aud passed the following Bills :\u2014 Bill to amend the act to incorporate the city of Ste.Cunegonde of Montreal.\u2014Mr.Rainville.Bill to further amend the Act 48 Victoria, chapter 78, respecting \u201cThe Quebec, Montmorency and Charlevoix Railway ^Company.\u201d \u2014Hon.Mr.Langelier.The House went into Committee on Bill to detach from the townships of Granby and Farnham East and to erect into a new municipality the parish of St.Alphonse, on motion of Mr.de Grqçbois.\t, , .t Mr.HtaU moved tho six months hoist.A long discussion ensued which lasted until the hour allotted for private bills had expired.Hon.Mr.Mercier resumed his speech upon colonization- It was an exhaustive treatise on the different systems of law tenure which had existed in this Province since Confederation.The first permission granted to settlers to cut wood upon their lots was granted by Order in-Council in 1860, (before Confedera-tion.) This system gave rise to serious abuse, lumber merchants resroting to the trick of taking Iqts as settlers in order to enjoy the privilege without paying the dues and was consequently modified.Jn 1872 a Provincial 8tail)té sanctioned the same principle but was not put into practice before 1875.This law remained in force until the establishment of the forest resérvo tu J883 which almost entirely stoppe*! colonization until the present Government came into power and gave back to the settler the rights of which he had been unjustly despoiled.It was the latter law that the Opposition now attacked with great vindictiveness, although at the lime of its adoption several of the member* of the Left, and especially Mr.Nantel, had cordially approved it.The Opposition brought two arguments to l>ear against the law.They say first that the forest reserve was not so bail as was generally believed.Ibis was not true.1 lie forest reserve rendered colonization practically impossible and its repeal had been hailed with joy by every settler in the Province.The present law was passed at the express request of Mgr.Labelle, the apostle of colonization, and the statistics prove the great progress made in colonization since that time.The Government ooltcy on this Soint had been twice sustained by the ver- Ict of the people and by the vote of the Legislature.On the other hand the Opposition contened that even had the Government bettered tho condition of the settler by the law of 1S87, they had rendered his position still worse than before by subjecting him to the thirty months reserve, which allowed the lumber merchant to cut all the wood on his lot.The argument was not fairly put, as the law reserved oue-tenth of the lot for the settler, but supposing it were otherwise, the question was m nether it was better for the settler to get his land with a thirty month privilege in favor of the lumberman or not to have any land at all.The answer was evident.The thirty months privilege was granted to the lumber merchants because they held vested rights which could not be ignore*!.They had accepted this arrangement and were satisfied ; the settlers also were satisfied, their position being better than before.Both parties Wing content, it was difficult to understand whom the Opposition represented iu this matter and why they icrsisted in discussing a point which had ieen decided time and again, not only by the people and by the House, but also by the most competent officers in the public service, such os Mr.Tache, Deputy Commissioner of Crown Lands.As for Mr.Nantel\u2019s resolutions, the pre mises were excellent and the Government ap proved of them.The conclusion was unac ceptable because they committed the Govern ment to a given policy which would deprive the Province of a revenue of over §75,000 yearly.He therefore proposed that the last paragraph be struck out and that the matter be referred to the Committee on Agriculture and Colonization, with instructions to report with all possible celerity.Mr.Poupore afterwards spoke at some length on the subject and finally, on behalf of the Opposition, accepte»! Mr.Mcrcier\u2019s amendment.The resolutions thus amended were carried and the House adjourned at 11.15 o\u2019clock.Most people seem to think a rumour is like a subscription list.Every time it comes to them they add something to it and pass along to the next.The Right Time to get new Mantles is iow, while S.Carsley\u2019s cheap sale is going on Bkkcham\u2019s Pill» cure Sick-Headache d&w CL0ÏER, FRY & CO.Clothing Department.o WING TO OUR LARGE ORDERS TO and Gent\u2019s Furnishings, is only just completed Beavers, Pilots, Meltons, Naps.Twenty Varieties to choose from.Mode from pure wool only, and the most fashionable colors.Best Scotch Bannockburn Suitings Irish Friezes and Serges, almost indestructible in wear and tear.Serges and Coatings, extra weight and finish (not liable to gloss).Special line» >n Trouserings, combining durability with stylish effect.All thoroughly shrunk by experienced Cloth-Workers, anii guaranteed second to none.ALL OUR STOCK has been selected by our own |x*rsonal choice (not by an agent) and we thus secure the very best and newest materials for Fall Overcoats, Winter Overcoats, Winter Ulsters, Winter Suits, Winter Trowsers.GLOVER, FRY & CO.OF Fashionable Styles IN FINE GOLF) JEWELLERY.Artistic Designs.Superior Finish.AUCTION SALES.BY G.R.GRENIER & CIE.In the matter of DAMASK A.MORIN, Merchant, Fraserville.GENT\u2019S FURNISHINGS.Pure sanitary undyed Wool Underclothing.Best Scotch Lamb\u2019s Wool Underclothing and Hosiery.Dent\u2019s and other Winter Gloves, newest styles.Gent\u2019s English Shirts and Collars, mode specially for us.Shirts and Collars made to order at short notice, from the best material and by an experienced cutter.\t« Gluver, Pry & C«.ESTABLISHED 1843.Goods of a fancy nature being greatly in request at present, wc omit drawing any attention to our very extensive Stock of Household Goods, but specify the following lighter kinds of Dry Goods, hoping that by doing so many may be assisted in arriving at what would be appreciable as Clii'istmas Presents \u2014.and\u2014 ^ NEW YEAR GIFTS !

ashore two hours after the disaster.This consisted of chain boxes painted yellow, broken dories painted the same color, cabin doors, two feet long by one wide, painted white outside and grained inside, also the galley painted white and box cover for patent steering gear painted white and nearly new.The jib and mainsail of the vessel looked old, but the foresail looked new.She had two jibs
