of his cutlass a oeaman on board the man-of-war \u201c Aqnidabau,'* now lying in North River.The affair occurred shortly before eight o\u2019clock in the presence of six lieutenants of the flagship, who, to all appearances, entirely approve of the action taken.Maseira is a machinist in the engineer department.He was ordered to take a detail of men and run the \u201c Aquidaban\u2019s \u201d steam cutter for the day.All the men of the detail were directed to wear cutlasses.Maseira alone was unarmed.On the first call for the steam cutter to proceed to the dock, Maseira appeared on deck and looked about for the guard.The men struggled up the companion-way shivering and shaking with cold.Maseira shouted out to them to hurry along.Maseira\u2019s cry to hurry along was answered by a poor fellow muttering something about the cold.Quick as a flash Maseira jumped forward, snatched the man\u2019s cutlass from his scabbard, and aimed a terrific blow at his head.The sailor, in attempting to dodge, received the whole force of the blow on the side of the face and jaw.He reeled and staggered, clutched wildly at the air, and 1\u2018ust as another blow was aimed at the top of iis head, sank with a groan senseless to the deck.The officer on watch immediately ordered the man carried below.He was turned ever to the surgeon\u2019s care, and is at pie-sent lying iu tho ship\u2019s hospital.Unless his injuries are likely to prove fatal, which is greatly feared, the sailor's name will not lie ?iven out.This scene was witnessed by \u2019apt.Mace and the men of the American steamer \u201cE.C.Crary.\u201d Concerning discipline aboard the Brazilian war-ships and the methods used to enforce it, it should be known that this is a matter wholly beyond the jurisdiction of the United States authorities.According to the international law a warship in a foreign country represents a floating territory of the conntry to which she belongs.The cose is altogether different with merchant

could not open tlm meeting without a word that would emphasize the sadness that fills our souls when we think of the double sorrow, the stroke that one fell blow lias darkened two homes.The one where the aged widow mourns, the other w here the weeping w ife clasps the hands that once caressed her and kisses the lips of him who, just a few horns ago, had called her by the loving name of \u201cmother.\u201d At ten o'clock the Masons moved iu procession to .St.George\u2019s' Hall, near the Cathedral, where lay the body of the Past Grand QUEBEC.Montreal, Dec.10 \u2014At a regular meeting of the Canadian Pacific Board a supplementary dividend of 1 per cent was declared, which will make the total dividend two ami one-half per cent for the half year, it is estimated that the surplus earnings for the year, after paying dividends will lie $925,000, to he added to the 'dividend reserve account.During the past season, the shipment of phosphates from the Port of Montreal was 21,762 tons.The points to which the mineral was sent were Liverpool, London, Hamburg, Glasgow, Hull, and Newcastle.The real estate transfers for November were 185, in value 8785,005, showing a considerable falling off as compared with last year, due to the scarcity of money.Joseph Birse, the hero of the railway accident at Lachinc wharf, and who was found dead at the bottom of the river with his hand on tho brake, was buried to-day.The attendance of citizens at the funeral was very large.Lord Stanley, the Governor-General, and Lady Stanley, will arrive in Montreal on the private car \u201cVictoria\u201d to-morrow morning, to attend t he opening of the Montreal General Hospital Training Schooiufor Nurses.Joseph Cusson, the outrager of girls, who impersonated a friar, and was sentenced to the Penitentiary for two years and to receive 40 lashes, received the second instalment today.At least an attempt was made, ns the victim fainted at the first stroke.He will receive the remainder In January.ONTARIO.Ottawa, Dec.10\u2014The youngest of the sons of the late David Moore having recently attained his majority, the lumbering business carried on by the deceased, and later by bis eldest son as trustee, will now be wound up.The estate consists of valuable timber limits and real estate and is estimated to be worth half a million dollars.Hon.C.H.Tapper leaves to-day for Lindsay to take part in the South Victoria campaign.The contract for the new public buildings at Carleton Place has been let to Mr.Cameron, of Almonte.Messrs.W.H.Plummer and W.A.Qni-bell of Sault Ste.Marie, were in the city, and iutei viewed the Railway and Canals Department to-day with regard to the few acres of hind previously asked for, for the construction of the Sault water power Work has been suspended on the water power canal for the present The dam has.been completed and things prepared to go to work on the construction of the canal.The Customs Department received information of the \"seizure of a quantity of potatoes smuggled from the United States to Canada at Powersconrt, P.Q.They also received notice of the seizure of a quantity of goods, belonging to a ticket manufacturing firm at Chicago, at Wigham, Out., for under valuation.The Governor-General-in-Council has decided to commute the sentence of death passed on Morin to imprisonment for life.Toronto, Dec.10.\u2014Ex-Alderman James Morris died early this morning.He was engaged in active business yesterday.He was about 60 years old, a barrister and wealthy.Mr.Thos.Tait, Superintendent of the Ottawa division of the C.P.R., was married at 1.30 this afternoon atSt.John\u2019s Cathedral, hy Canon Dumoulin, to a daughter of G.R.R.Cockburn, M.P., the church was crowded.Kadclive, the executioner, left for Sherbrooke, Quebec, to-day, where he will hang Blanchard, the American who killed a friend in a drunken qwarrèl, on Friday morning.Next Thursday, Radelivc goes to Welland to hang Day, and the following morning lie is again due in Sherbrooke to execute Remi Lamontagne.Mr.W.R.Brock, in an interview with a newspaper reporter, definitely announces he will not run for the Mayoralty.Messrs.McMurrich A Co., wholesale dry goods merchants, have sold out to Gordon, Mackay A Co., wholesale dry goods and woollens, the consideration being about $35,-000 cash.The deal has been on for some little time, and was consummated on Monday night.The Knights of Lalmr and Trades and Labor Council representatives conferred tonight on the questioli of holding Sunday meetings for the discussion of labor questions, and it was decided to report in favor of holding sucb meetings.'

confidence the new Chamber which the country had elected, thus confirming the faith he felt iu the country\u2019s free institutions.By displaying the unity and resolution at home, consciousness of her rights, firmness of conviction and decision of will, Italy was gaining for herself increasing authority and respect abroad which constituted the best guarantee pf peace.Faithful in ber alliances, cordial iu her friendships and sincere in her desire to improve her relations with all the powers, Italy, he said, sees with satisfaction all danger of International complications dissipated.As more tran-quihzing anticipations become stranger and more general throughout Europe, the loyalty of our intentions is evident to all.In Africa we have now only to fix the limits of our territories and spheres of influence, in which task we deal with friendly Governments.Thus your labors will be essentially pacific.Legislation to ameliorate the lot of workingmen will form the principal part of the

ancestors, at the same time maintain-iug the greatest respect for the liberty of conscience which honorably marks our age, bat [ never permit my sovereign aulhority to suffer derogation in the name of the religion.The Italian mount chy is founded on plebiscites as well as traditions and is for all a pledge of peace and liberty.That monarchy is also strong enough to fear nothing and is always ready to welcome any reform {liming at the welfare of the people whose love is the foundation of the throne.\u201d RUSSIA.St.Petersburg, Dec.10\u2014The Government will probably promulgate thè new anti-Jewish law at the beginning oi the coming year.One of the most important clauses of the new' measure forbids the selling, leasing or mortgaging to Jews of any real estate in any part of the Empire.Hitherto such a regulation has applied only to Poland.Another clause provides that Jews shall be dispossessed of any real estate they may hold.In the past Jewish merchants, after paying the commercial tax of the first guild for 10 years, have been aliow-ed to purchase real estate outside the limits assigned to the Jewish populace.The new law cancels this privilege and compels them to sell all real estate that they may have acquired.Jewish artisans are also to lie deprive*! of certain rights amt are to be kept strictly within the limits assigned to the Jewish population.Repressive measures will be taken against Jews infringing the new law as well as against Christians who may be found abetting them.NOVA SCOTIA.Halifax, Dec.10\u2014Daniel Morrison, one of thamen injured in tho

evening sitting was spent in a most interesting discussion on the mining question which took place on Mr.Poupore * resolution that as the working of our mines and forests was of the highest importance, in the interest of commerce, industry and colonization in the Province of Quebec, that it has become necessary to establish a regular and thorough system for the increasing and development of said industries, and that the Government be asked to introduce such laws as to put the workiug of our forests and miues upon the same footing as iu the mott advanced countries of Europe and America, and to assist to the greatest possible extent; the development of our mineral resources, by bolding out inducements to capitalists to come here, rather thou impose taxes upon them, which is sure to create distrust and paralyze existing operations as well as to preveut the further development of our natural resources.Mr.Poupore quoted at great length from the report of a Royal Commission named hy the Ontario Government, to study the mining question, toprove that no taxes were imposed upon mines in the United States.Ue further maintained that the forest reserve in the Province of Quebec, which the present Government had abolished, was necessary for tho protection of our forests which were rapidly disappearing and predicted that a time would come when the revenues from the miues would be the only resource of the Provincial Government.Hon.Mr.Duhamel said that Mr.Poupore seemed to have spoken of the mining interest of the Province with a viewtof alluding to the forest reserve, which the present Government had abolished and which he considered that his (Poupore\u2019s) friends on the left of the House would never dare to re-establish.Mr.Poupore\u2019s argument was that when the forest disappeared m the Province of Quebec, the mining industry would be the only source of revenue in the hands of the Government.He had quoted the example of England.England drew no revenue from its mining industry as he would presently prove.\\\\ ith regard to miues there were two systems to choose from.The first consisting in jiving property of mines to individuals who Workea them as they choose w ithout the intervention of the State, the second consisted iu retaining them in the hands of the State, the latter granting to individuals the right of workii g the mines with the proviso that if the wroik was unproductive the miner would hate nothing to pay, but if on the contrary there was profit, the miner would contribute to the public expenses of the country according to his means.The Government thus secured permanent revenues without alienating the public domain which was placed out of reach of illegitimate and ruinous speculation.Capitalists who wishcd.to invest their money in our mines under this .system would ha« \u2022 nothing to pay unless the yield was vciy considerable, they would moreover benelfc by a complete aud uniform mining law &i d be sure of the protection of the Government.The dangers and disadvantages of the present system were sufficiently demonstrated by the existing state of things in the phosphate region of the Province of Quebec.Tho mines of the phosphate region, the richest perhaps in the world, had never produced more than 20,000 or 22,000 tons annually.If wc bad a proper mining law these mines would produce at least 100,000 tons auuually.Unfortunately these mines have fallen into the hands of speculators, who were not obliged by law to work the mining lotswbich they had acquired.According to our law, mining royalties existed in this Province and could bo collected.The Commissioner of Crown Lands could collect this royalty, amounting to fifty cents a ton.There was another point made by Mr.Poupore, aud of which be disputed the correctness, viz., that mining industry was entirely free iu the United States.However, Mr.Poupore must admit that the present Government had followed thispolicy with regard to the colonization of public lauds.Under Conservative Governments certain lots were regarded as mining lots and were never sold as agricultural lots althongh they might bo fitted for agriculture.At present the settler was free to choose his land wherever he please in mining districts or iu others.Mr.Poupore said that he had consulted the manager of a phosphate mine in Buckingham who had answered that a tax on the mines would ruin the industry.It was not surprising that this gentleman objected to paying dues to the Government if he could help it.He had threatened to go off to the United States if the slightest tax was imposed.Let him do so.He would find that he would have to pay far more taxes there than id this Province.* Mr.Poupore would fiud that the report of the Royal Commission of Ontario which he had quoted was inaccurate in many respects.He would prove this when the time came for discussing the mining law.It was said amongstother things that none of the States except NewYork imposed royalties on mines, whereas in North Carolina there was a royalty varying from one to five dollars a ton on phosphates.The English system which Mr.Poupore had quoted had produced sucb results os had rendered a change acceptable to a oonsiderable portion of the public and a general reform of the mining laws was contemplated in Great Britain.Indeed the mining question in England caused as much trouble as the land question in Ireland.The discoverer of a mine must be encouraged, but he should be obliged to work his mine.The foresha- * dowed legislation was not an exception but the general rule in British colonies.If we were to count upon the mines as a source of revenue in the future, it was not by selling them to speculators that we would succeed in doing so.It was by conceding raining rights os we conceded timber limits upon certain conditions, the first of which was that if the mine yielded no revenue the miner would have nothing to pay, but tnat when the miner was successful in his labour he should coutribute his just share to the pnblio expenditure of the country.Mr.Pon-pore\u2019s fears of the disappearance of our forests were, he thought, however, entirely imaginary.Not only were there immense virgin forests iu the country which had never been visited by the lumberman but the limits on which wood had been cut since a quarter of a century, were still in the majority of cases as rich as ever, the lumberman being interested in preserving his limit The same principle would be applied to mines as to vvocmIs and forests.Mr.Clendiuueng then added a few words.He did not understand clearly the policy of the Government upon this question, but thought that before anything was done, a complete statement of the condition of the mining industry in the Province of Quebec should be laid before the House.The resolution was carried.Tho following notices of motion were adop-ed :\u2014 Mr.Beauchamp\u2014Order of the House for detailed statement, with

I mu, December 19th, at 8 P.M.MORRIN COLLEGE HALL, -ON- PARNELL IN IRELAND.The Irish question continues to be the topic uppermost in people s minds just now, and the cable is kept pretty busily employed with messages, more or less sensational, bearing on the subject.Mr Parnell and his sympathizers have arrived in Dublin, and yesterday, they were accorded a great and enthusiastic reception.The McCarthyites, headed by Mr.Healy and his friends, journeyed by the same train to Holyhead, and both friends and foes embarked on the same steamer from Holyhead to Kingstown.On reach ing Kingstown, Mr.Parnell was cheered, but groans greeted Mr.Healy.In Dublin also, Mr.Parnell had it all his own way, and he achieved a brilliant moray victory by seizing the plant of United Ireland and suppressing the outgoing num her of that able journal.The editor, Mr.William F.O\u2019Brien, is in America, but the acting editor was present, and he wit nessed the heroic treatment to which his newspaper was subjected, with feelings which may not be described.It appears that Mr.Parnell holds an interest in United Ireland, and in stopping its publication, temporarily, he was acting within his right.This fresh move on the part of the minority leader, shows that he is determined to play all his trump cards at once.In the meantime, money is pouring into the coffers of the anti-Parnellttes, and they are hopeful of not only possessing a press but a fund as well.The money owned by the Home Rulers in Paris, cannot be drawn out of the bank, as it is deposited in the names of Charles Stewart Parnell and Justin McCarthy, their joint check, only, being the means of release of this large amount standing to the credit of the Irish people.It will, meanwhile, draw interest.But it is locked up, so far as any practical purpose is concerned.There will bo some exciting episodes in Ireland during the next few days, now that the chieftains and lieutenants of both hostile camps are on Irish soil.The bishops and priests are opposed to Parnell on moral and religious grounds, and it will be curious to watch the result of their appeals and manifestoes on the minds of their people.The English Liberal party, and the English Conservative party are looking on, in the guise of interested spectators.How will the fight end ?Parnell, we believe, will emerge from the ordeal, second best.JudKiuruM.The following judgments have been rendered in the Superior Court by His Honor Judge Caron :\u2014 Pioher vs.Dallairc and Coté Garnithee.\u2014 judgment for plaintiff and against

members of the above Association have arrived here to join the Quebec architects in appearing before the Private Bills Committee in support of the act for the incorporation of the Association, now before the Legislature.The objects of the Association are to promote the friendly interconrse of its members, provide for a systematic course of study and training for future architects, and in general to raise the status of the profession in this Province.The architects of Ontario, about a year ago, formed a similar association and have been incorporated by the Ontario Legislature.VV e understand there is to be some opposition to the bill, but we trust it will not be successful, os its provisions are as much in the interests of the public as those of the architects.There is no reason, while all the other professions have their incorporated societies, architects alone should be prevented from doing the same.The Association also purpose harmonizing certain varying customs as to measurements, Ac., which at present lead to considerable misunderstanding and doubt, well known to members of the profession.supplant unhealthy literature with stories of a living and healthful interest.It will not do to take fascinating bad literature out of boys\u2019 hands, and give them in its place Mrs.Bar-bauld and Peter Parley, or the work of writers who think that any \u201cgood y\u201d talk will do for children, but they must have strong, interesting reading, with the blood and sinew of real life in it.\u2014reading that will waken them to a closer observation of the best things about them.In the seventeen years of its life St.Nicholas has not only elevated the children, but it has also elevated the tone of contemporary child ren\u2019a literature as well.Many cf its stories like Mrs.Burnett\u2019s \u201cLittle Lord Fauntleroy,\u2019 have become classic.It is not too much to say that almost every notable young people\u2019s story now produced in America first seeks the light in the pages of that magazine.The year 1891 will prove once more that \"no household where there are children is complete without St.Nicholas.\" J.T.Trowbridge Noah Brooks, Charles Dudley Warner, anc! many well-known writers are to contribute during this coming year.One cannot put the spirit of SL Nicholas into a prospectus, but the publishers are glad to send a full

man.There never was a warm side to him.When the writer asked Justin McCarthy to explain the source of Parnell s power over his supporters, McCarthy said that the Irish people had confidence in Parnell because he had never made a mistake.All great issues were carefully canvassed by the Irish Parliamentary committee, beforehand, and Parnell went to the House of Commons, fully primed.Sometimes, however, a question came up in the House, when there was no oppor tunity for consultation.Parnell had to act on the instant, and it was always found that ho did the right thing at the right moment.He never made a false move.And this inspired confidence in his fellows.They felt that so long as Parnell led them, no serious mistake could be made.He was a safe man, cold-blooded in man ner, and absolutely unswayed by emotion of any sort.He dragooned the members of his party when the humour took him, but they forgot all that, and trusted him implicitly.He has exhibited more passion since the result of the O\u2019Shea divorce case, than he ever showed before in his life.He has convinced the Irish people that he has a temper.They never knew it until now.What will he do next ?He will try and stir up the Irish people.He will tell them that the Liberals will not help them.He will not retire from the leadership, and he will say a good deal about traitors, Sec.But, we think, that in the* end he will bo smashed.In Ireland a man cannot fight the hierarchy and win, and just now the hierarchy, which in the old days gave Parnell bo much of his power, is arrayed against him.Selling Off at a

That the Constitution U the charter of the Association, and that it is contrary to the spirit of the Association ; to reason and to the said Constitution that seventeen members could legally authorize an important measure, such os the alteration of the Act of Incorporation ; while twenty-one would be necessary to take from the by-law or add thereto, one word.That the bill asks that, conditionally, the property of the Association be not liable, hereafter, for its debts,\u2014a clause the Legislature, on a former occasion, struck out as immoral.That legislation of the nature sought, in favor of a private individual, would be viewed as questionable if not sus- Eiciously suggestive of bail faith and dis- onor.\t, , ,\t,\t.\t.That the busiuess principles and sample of the Association, should bo worthy of itself and its honorable calling ; and not one which if largely followed by other societies and individuals, to whom similar legislation cannot be denied if granted to it might tend to un told corruption, fraud and immorality.That indiscriminate exceptional legislation of the nature sought would be a violation of the principle of equal rights, for which said Association contends, and that the Associa- Handkerchief^\u2014Ladies\u2019Linen, 10c., 13c.and 15c.Gents\u2019 Linen, 14c., 17c.and 19c.Hemstitched Linen, 16c., 19c.and 23c.Embroidered Handkerchiefs 18c.;

Committee of the Society beg to pre sent their report for the past year.The result of having a superintendent who devotes his whole time to the interests of the Society, has, in tho opinion of theCommiitec, tended largely to lessen the cruelty to animals in the city and vicinity.It will bo noticed that there have been fewer cases before the courts than in former years, ami this speaks well for the influence exercised by the existence of such a Society in our midst.The Committee believe it is by remonstrance and caution that more good often can be accomplished than by prosecuting the offend era.The driving of dogs xvith loads has almost wholly disappeared, & practice which was formerly attended with much cruelty The daily report book of the Superintendent is open to inspection by the subscribers and from that it will be observed where and how he has carried on the work under tho direction of the Committee.It would repay a perusal of the same, as the reports show the vigilance that the Society exercises in all rts of the city and vicinity through laving an inspector.Tho attention of tho Corporation has lately been drawn to the overcrowding of cattle in the pens at the Palais and to the want of a proper water supply in the sheds, and they trust that this will be remedied before another season.The dangerous disease of glanders has, so far as the Committee know, been stamped out by the prompt action of the Society in having eight horses destroyed which were so affected during the year.The driving of overloaded stages on the Beauport road has in a large measure been remedied and the horses drawing the same arc kept in better condition than formerly.The trapping and having for sale insective-rous birds has received the attention of the Committee, and by destroying the cages ami letting the birds free, the people are being informed as to the illegality of the same.If non-subscribers desire to inform themselves about the details of the Society\u2019s work, any member of the Commit!ee will gladly give all such information, and they also can see the Superintendent\u2019s book as to the duties required of, and performed by him.The visiting of the markets daily, the steamboats, being present at the arrival of cattle by trains, \\isiting the hills in and-around the city, as well as the various villages adjacent, are all under the supervision of the Committee, through the reports which are furnished to them.On referring to these reports it will be observed that 62 cases of horses with sore shoulders, lameness, sores in contact with harness, cut legs, Ac., Ac., have been specially attended to.The Society has prosecuted during the year seven cases in the Police Court, and obtained convierions in five of them, two Olivers being dismissed, although the Committee considered that in one of them at least, the evidence adduced should have secured a conviction.A very successful concert was held on the 11th of November last, by which a sum of

supporters, the 1 arnell leadership committee and other deputations who had travelled from Dublin on a special train, were on the pier to receive him.I he deputation was headed by a band.Dr.ritz-gerald, M.P , Mr.Leamy M.P., Mr.Henry Harrington and Mr.Edward Harrington, M.P., were the first members of Mr.Lar-ncll\u2019s party to leave the steamer.They were loudly cheered as they came down the r.PTimdthy Healey, M.P., Mr.Maurice Healy and Matthew Joseph Kenny, M.P., opponents of Mr.Parnell, travelled in the same Ixiat with the Parnellites from Holy-head.As they came ashore they were sub-iecleil to hostile demonstrations by thecrowd, while there were shouts for Mr.Parnell mingled with shouts for Mrs.O\u2019Shea.Mr.Parnell, accompanied by Mr.(.amp- bell, his private secretary, was the last passenger to quit the boat.As he proceeded to the waiting train, the crowd became enthusiastic intheirdemonstrationsand he was cheered again and again.A number of addresses were presented to him, in reply to which he expressed his thanks for the welcome that hail been extended to «nm-said he did not fear the result of the fight he hail undertaken.He had never led the Irish party wrong in the past and would not do so in future.The train tnen hauled out and after a short run arrived in Dublin, where a large crowd had assembled in and about the sUtion to welcome Mr.^As soon as the train came to a standstill, Mr.Timothy Healy hurriedly descended, entered a cab and was driven away.He was recognized by the crowd, however, betore he reached the cab and was greeted with groans andshoutsof \u201cChief Justice Healey.Thecrowd wassodense that M r.1 arnell with difficulty made his way through it, finally he reached a cab which he entered with Mr.Joseph E.Kenny, M.P- The crowd surrounded the cab, unharnessed the horse and then Mr.Parnell's enlhnsiastic admirers drew the cab through the dark streets until they reached Mr.Kenny\u2019s house, 15 Rutland Square East.As the cab was rolled along the streets the crowd followed singing God save Ireland.\u201d The quick pace gave exercise *o a dozen stalwart policemen who followed the cab.Upon bis arrival £t Mr.Kenny a house, Mr.Parnell made a brief speech to the crowd that had accompanied nun tnere.Later in the day he will attend a meeting of the committee of the National League.The auti-Farnell members of the Irish Parliamentary party have issued a manifesto to the Irish people.In this they say \u201cFeeling bound to protect our count?y aqd cause at whatever personal sacrifice, we found ourselves under the sad necessity of terminating Mr.Parnell\u2019s leadership.It would have been easier to have left him undisturbed, but such a course would have left every man of us a traitor to his country.* Mr.Parnell, disregarding our appeals to remember the country, evinced an ill-judged determination to maintain hfa\tuntenable\tposition, thus threatening\tto plvnjo\tIreland into a coufl'ct which may overwhelm her and cause her present fair prospects to disappear forever.It is the duty of Irishmen now, irrespective of all consideration of feelings, either for Mr.Parnell or those differing from him, to adopt a course that will tend to save Ireland from destruction.\" After detailing various reasons for their action, the signers of the manifesto add that whatever judgment Ireland may pass on the manifesto, her cause hangs on the issue, and the signers will abide by that judgment, they being the nation\u2019s servants.They enumerate the charges against Mr.Parnell as follows: -\t.\t* 1.\tHe speaks as if he were the injured party, whereas he alone is responsible for the present deplorable situation.2.\tHe pledged himself to repel the charges in connection with the 0 Shea case, but w hen the time came to do this he remained silent.3.\tHe does not hesitate to renounce and denounce the multitudes of English friends of liberty as English wolves.4.\tBut the English wolves and the Irish bishops express the same opinion of Mr.Parnell and he cannot mend matters by calling nicknames.5.\tThe reminder of the LÆinster re-election was the most ungenerous taunt ever uttered.The effort to sustain Mr.Parnell without three of the Sheriffs received slight contusions.United Ireland will re appear to morrow as a Parnellite organ.\t.It is stated that Mr.Parnell owns 4*4 of the .500 shares into which the capital stock of the United Ireland Company is divided, and that Dr.Joseph E.Kenny and Justin McCarthy own the remainder.The editors who were ejected will sue Mr.Parnq)l for assault.Midnight.Late to-night a strong party of Parnell\u2019s opponents made a descent upon and recaptured the offices of United Ireland.The invaders destroyed all the \u201cleaders\u201d which had been prepared by Mr.Leamy, who was installed as editor by Mr.Parnell, and turned all the matter that they found set up into the tire.Then they took possession of the ledgers and other books ami documents belonging to the concern.All this was done in the name of Mr.O\u2019Brien.A strong posse from various laborers\u2019 societies lias been left as a garrison with instructions to remain on guard day and night and to resist by force any further intrusion by Mr.Parnell and his friends.It is stated that the suppressed edition will appear to-morrow.New York, Dec.10\u2014\u201c Member of Parliament,\u201d in his despatch to the Herald this morning, says All is over till the end of January, but there never is any telling what may happen here.There, is evidently a strong sense of relief among the secessionists that they have got rid of their tyrant.They breathe the air of liberty again.Parnell no doubt drew the strings too tight.It was all very well while he was strong, but tbe moment a weak place showed in his position the discontented were sure to strike at it.They were like men relieved of some heavy load.They no longer look at the door with fear lest \u201c the man of mystery \u201d with a rod of iron should walk in.They have dispelled the mystery and broken the rod.Many of them have gone to Ireland to fight their late chief on his native heath.They are rather short of money.Perhaps the distinguished Committee will get a new famine fund for their benefit.\t.\t,\t., .Kilkenny is a suitable place tor the fight to begin.Sir John Pope Henncssy has sent word that he cannot support Mr.Parnell against the opinions of the Bishops, so it seems he has religious scruples which none of us knew before.The secessionist party will, therefore, lie obliged to run him, » fact of which they are not particularly clad.Parnell will put a rival candidate, and I hear a whis-tliat the Tories may start the third man further revealed the mind of this accomplished strategist ami has shown to me fully and to all partially, the danger upon the brink of which we stood and still stand.\u201c Do you believe the reconciliation of your divided party still possible ?\u201d \u201c No, the matter has now proceeded so far that it is utterly impossible to bring about any solution until the general election, when the Irish constituences will have to divide.I do not think the result will be injurious to the cause of Ireland, on the contrary I believe that a distinct advantage has been gained.\u201d lfbig :\u2018f CITY m DISTRICT

London special says The greater number of the most prominent members of both the Parnellite party andanti-Par-nellite majority have left London for Ireland, where scenes are expec\u2018ed.The anti-Paniel-lites treat the threats of a hostile reception put forth by the Dublin Freeman with the derision they deserve.At the same time, it may be expected some lively times will take place between the adherents of both parties on their arrival in Dublin.I am enabled from information derived from the best possible source to supp\u2019ement the statement made by Mr.Davitt as to the funds in possession of the old National party.On Sunday.Father O\u2019Connor, who was Mr.Parnell's counsel in the Commission days, and Mr.J.O\u2019Brien went to Paris to put a ell di Chess Extraordinary.An \u201cOld Chessplayer\u201d writes to the Timex chronicling a remarkable feat by the English chess master, Mr.J.H.Blackborne.\u201c8omp years ago (he says) I was one of eight unfortunate players pitted against Mr.Blackburne, he playing the whole of us simultaneously blindfold.The meeting was held at an hotel m Cheodle, Staffordshire.At closing time, eleven o\u2019clock, it was found that all the games were unfinished, and Mr.Blackburne being willing to continue, the players carried their hoards and men to a neighboring schoolroom.Perhaps such a procession had never been seep before.In the course of transit many of the chessmen were displaced, and the different players were much troubled to ascertain their correct poeitlons.Mr.Blackburne, being informed of the difficulty, offered to call out, blindfold, each game up to the point when we left the hotel.This he did, and in every instance was correct.I need scarcely say that this unique blindfold performance was loudly applauded, and I think far more deserving of record than Mr.Steinitz s performance, which, by tbe way, I have seen many an ordinary chessplayer perform.\u201d\u2014Bristol Mercury.Game No.557.The following curio
