for the Chilian insurgent forces, has been fought at Copiapo or San Franeiso de Silva, the capital of the Province of Atacana, on the river Coplaiso, 30 miles from the sea.Only meagre details of the battle are given in the despatches mentioned, which say that the insurgents, after a long and determined struggle, defeated with heavy loss a force of 3,000 of President Balmacedas troops.The despatches, which are supposed to originate from an insurgent source, add that the insurgent army is increasing steadily in strength and that it intends shortly to mardi upon the capital, Santiago de Chili, as well a4 upon Valparaiso, the principal port of Chili.Copiapo, where the battle lias just been fought, is an important mining and mercantile centre from which much silver and copper ore* are shipped to Europe and elsewhere.\ts Berlin, April 15\u2014The Hamburger Nachrichten publishes an interview with Prince Bismarck, in the course of which, referring to the Chicago Fair, the ex-Chancellor said:\u2014\u2018Tt will bo a great pity and mistake if German manufacturers allow their dislike of the McKinley law to influence then» against taking part in the Exhibition.Germany and the United States have always been good friends.The two countries neither have conflicting territorial interests nor ore they political rivals.Besides, Germans and Americans arc bound by ties of amity, kinship and common interests ; therefore it will be regretablc if she is not fully represented at the Exhibition.\u201d The Ministry of Commerce has ordered police agents to institute private inquiries in regard to a corn ring which, it is alleged, has sent enormous quantities of corn to Rotterdam in order to maintain prices here by artificial scarcity.Speculators for a fill have been reduced to great difficulties to deliver corn sold on account.It is reported that detectives are watching operations on the Exchange, and all members of the ring will lie expelled from the bourse where intense excitement prevails.It is rumored that Herr Gamp, a free Conservative, with a prominent official in the Ministry of Commerce, is trying to induce the Socialists to introduce a motion in the Reichstag forbidding corn transactions for account.\t?The North German Gaxette prints the regulations adopted in America for the administration of the new cattle inspection law and says they prove that earnest endeavors have been made to take measures which will, if conscientiously carried out, enable importing countries to consider the advisability of repealing or at least modifying the laws prohibiting the importation of American pork.Vienna, April 15\u2014The Pre**e.says that Germany and Austria have decided to act together in respect to commercial relations with other States.Buenos Ayres, April 15\u2014The efforts made by capitalists to enable the Provincial Bank to resume business with a capital of one hundred million has not met with success.This, with the split in the Union Civica and tiie continued opposition to Gen.Roca, Minister of the Interior, who rcsigneil yesterday, has aggravated the political and financial situation and created an increased feeling of distrust in the future and dreaj of more serious complications both political and financial.8t.Petersburg, April 15\u2014In spite of the peaceful ntterings of Government officials in Europe and Russia, everybody knows that Russia is making extensive preparations for war, and that lier rivals are making greater preparations for the great struggle which must sooner or later take place.Russia lias been spending enormous sums in the construction of stratagetical railways, and in , this and other ways the arrangements for the transportation of large bodies of Russian troops to the Austro-German frontier are almost completed.This movement in Russian forces towards the frontier of Germany and Austria would, four years ago, have required six months\u2019 time, while by the use of the new stratagctic railroads a months\u2019 time is all that is necessary for the vast concentration which is leoktd upon os possible in the near future.Brussels, April 15\u2014The statement that Henry M.Stanley hail been appointed Governor of the Congo State is officially denied.Madrid, April 15\u2014Scnor Moret, President of the Spanish Tariff Commission, presided to-day at theinternationalconference for the protection of industrial property, which was held in this city.All the Foreign Ministers, including United States Minister Hon.E.Burd Grubb, were present.At the conclusion of the deliberations the Ministers pro sent signed the document embodying the provisions for the protection of industrial property agreed upon at the conference of delegates held in 1890 in favor of keeping a register of international trade marks.Komu, April 15\u2014The Queen invited Col.Grant to accompany Miss Grant when she was presented to the Queen.This is considered an unusual act

a small room on the ground floor of the above-named building, lie was totally unknown, and the other tenants of the building were a little shy at first about placing their little trades with him.Some of them had been bitten before, but one after another ventured a little money, and, receiving the very best of treatment, repeated the operation and brought their friends along, much to the delight of smooth, wcll-dresseu, kid-gloved Mr.Miner.Mr.Miner told to a few, in the very strictest confidence, of course, that he w;is backed by two of the most eminent gamblers in the city, but he never mentioned their names.This confidential communication was soon whispered about, and a wonderful degree of confidence was established.On January 1 a move was made to more conimmlioua offices, which soon became the recognized rendezvous for a large and wealthy section of the tenants of the building.During this time the shop played about even, with the advantage slightly on the side of Mr.Miner, who was looked upon as the soul of honor and probity, but last Thursday afternoon clients who called for tlio purpose of closing out their trades ai\u2019 '-'-ket-ing their w innings called in.vain.The doors were locked and smooth Mr.Miner hail \u2019\u2018gone away.\u201d A number of customers arc mourning for sums ranging from $50 to $4,000.In the Chamber of Commerce building alone there are parties who, in tiie aggregate, would like to see Mr.Miner about $30,000 worth, and outside of the building his liabilities are probably $15,000 more.À clerk in the office told a reporter that Mr.Miner had gone up Salt Creek.Heraldsburo, Cala., April 15\u2014There was a sharp shock of an earthquake here at 11.10 Monday night.An earthquake shock was also felt at Visalia.The vibrations

Railway.\u201d GEORGE STEWART, President.April 15, 1891 HERE AND THERE.Tho Quebec Board of Trade ia moving energetically, and is determined to make the politicians revive their memories.Our readers will remember that Sir ( HARLK8 Tctper read a telegram from Sit John Macdonald at tho grand Conservative rally in Tara Hall, on the evening of Thursday, the 2f»th February, in which tho Premier said that \u201cParliament will be asked to transfer bonds to C.P.R., on conditions imposed by City of Quebec.\u201d there is no mistaking the language of the above.Our readers will remember also, the deafening cheers which arose when that telegram was read.Then Sir Charles Ti'PPER emphasised matter* further by declaring that \u201cthe boat to the Government of Canada would be nothing by this arrangement, Ijecause nothing was received by the Government on the bonds.Mr.LeVassecr, Secretary of the Quebec Board of Trade, wrote on the Tth of April to the Premier, asking whether the million dollar bonds referred to, had been cancelled yet, or, if not, whether the Government intended having them cancelled during the next 'session of Parliament, or not.He received an early reply, in which he was informed that the Premier could not say whether Parliament Would cancel the million, dollar bonds or not.The subject, however, was engaging the attention of the Government.What has Mr.Chateau vert to say on this point/ The Board of Trade warmly discussed this reply, which several members declared was most unsatisfactory, and at the close of the debate, this resolution was proposed by Messrs.Tarte and Tuibaudeau, and adopted :\u2014\t.\u2018That this Beard do send a denutation to Ottawa, consisting of the President and members of the Council arid all others who can join them, to insist on the immediate settlement of the million of debentures that the Federal Government holds on that ?art of the C.P.R.known as the old STorth Shore Railway.\u201d The-deputation will start, we hear, at an early date.It is quite clear from this, that the business men of Quebec are in dead earnest, and will insist on having ante-election promises carried out to the letter.Of course, the Government will no# do something for nothing.In consideration of being relieved of the million dollar bonds, the C.P.R.is expected to build grain elevators in Quebec, and to do its utmost to develop the trade and re.sources of the port.We understand that che reason why the English mails are to be sent in future by way of New York, instead of via Halifax, is because the contract with the Canadian steamship proprietors has expired.The contract may be renewed very shortly, of course, hut in the meantime, no letters or newspapers will be sent across the Atlantic by the Canadian steamers leaving Halifax on Saturdays.We are glad to see some of tho Western newspapers taking up tho question of raising the salaries of our Judges.The Chronicle has advocated the caqse of the Judges for several\u2018years.The Toronto Maü says, very pertinently :\u2014 \u2019Tc was recently intimated in the Mail's Ottawa correspondence that tho Government was preparing a hill .providing for increases in the salaries of the J udges throughout the Dominion, with a view to its passage during the approaching session.Such a measure should receive the unanimous approval of Parliament, and it is c^rtAin to meet the views of those outside that body who are seised of all the facts of tho case.The question of increased remuneration for the judiciary has of recent years lieen frequently discussed in the press, and on several occasions has lieen brought before Parliament ; so far, however, without result.In 1883 a debate on the subject in the House closed with the understanding that during the following session the Government would introduce a bill dealing with it, hut this was not done until 1889, when an unsatisfactory measure was submitted to the House, only to bo withdrawn shortly afterwards.The proposal at that time was that the salaries of the Superior Court .1 udeea shall he increased by 81,000, but that the travelling allowances should cease -an improvement which would have been one in name only.The scheme npw under consideration includes, it is understood, the County Court Judges as well as those of the higher Courts, and its provisions will be extended to all the Provinces This is, probably, the only manner in which the matter can be dealt with without arousing provincial jealousies.At all events, it is to he hoped that the proposed .reform is such as will fully meet the necessities of the case, and that it will be proceeded with at the earliest possible moment.The growth of litigation in this new country is rapid, and, in consequence, the labours of our poorly-paid judiciary are yearly becoming more arduous.The Judges themselves cannot make complaint, and Parliament, therefore, should be all the more ready to see that justice is done them, and that the interests of the public are not allowed to suffer by tho possible degradation of the Bench.The arguments in favor of adequate remuneration for the dispensers of justice have frequently been set forth in these columns, and are, in fact, so patent to all thoughtful persons that they do not require to be urged.We might, however, point out once more how badly we stand in this matter by comparison, not only with other nations, but with the sister colonies.In the larger Australian colonies the salaries of the Superior Court Judges range from $8,500 to $17,500 ; in ' British Guiana from 87,500 to 812,500 ; and in Cape Colony from $7,500 to 810,000.Even in Jamaica the Chief Justice receives 810, )00, and in the Fiji Islands 89,000.With two or three exceptions the iworest and least populous of .the colonies pay their Judges much more than this great Domi nion of Canada, with its live millions of population and its boundless resources.?If Canadian Judges had little to do there might be some excuse for this discredit able state of affairs, hut it is a fact which requires no demonstration that they are worked like slaves.Herein lies a serious menace to the interests of the public.No better combination of causes likely to bring about in time the degradation of the judiciary could be imagined than arduous labour with poor pay.Theleadersof the Bar might be willing to accept exaltation to the Bench with small remuneration, provided the judicial office were one of comparative case ; but when they sec that it means instead a continuation of hard and increasing toil it is not surprising that they often refuse the proffered honour.To the peoples lowering 'of the standard of judicial ability would mean an enormous increase *>f litigation and a loss of confidence in the Courts, which could not fail to he most hurtful to the various interests of the community.Our business interests especially would suffer, and for this reason the question of awardingthe judiciary proper remuneration, and of thus preserving its present high character, is one in which \" u business men should feel tho deepest concern.On the ground of self-interest alone, to say nothing of justice to tho occu-pants of the Bench, tho great Boards of l raae Bnould lend their influence in .sun-s*»vt of the proposed reform.The bulk of litigation in every country arises out of rade and commerce for the protection of which a learned and efficient judiciary is \u2022 »ne of the most important instruments rhat can he provided.\u201d \u201cILLUSTRATED QUEBEC.\u201d I.KECHAM\u2019s Pills cure Bilious and Nervous ills.\td&w SIXTEEN TH A NX UA L MEETING.Tho sixteenth annual meeting of tho Quebec Women\u2019s Christian Association was held at the Association Buildings, St.Anne street, on Tuesday afternoon.W.C.Scott, Ksq., occupied tho chair and was supported on one side 1>y Mrs.W.R.Dean, President of the Association, and on the other by the Very Revd.the Dean of Quebec.The Revd.A.T.Love was called UpCrt to open the meeting with devotional exercises.The Chairman tlieh éxprcsSed tho general regret experienced at the absence, through illness, of Miss Pope, the efficient Secretary of the Association, and called upon Miss Clint to read in her absence the Secretary\u2019s report.Miss Clint very clearly and admirably read the following report, which was received with loud applause i\u2014 SlXTfcKN+lt ANNl\u2019AI.REPORT OF THE XVOXIKS\u2019.S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.On account of tho serious illness of our beloved SecrctArÿ, the anniversary meeting take* place much later than usual, and this report, partly written by her, has had to be completed by one from whom so much must not be expected.In glancing over the records of the Women\u2019s Christian Association one cannot but be impressed with the complex nature of the work.The basis of construction admits of almost unlimited extension, with a capacity of adapting itself to the varied requirements of woman\u2019s work for woman, without respect to age, character or condition.How best to meet these requirements, with duo regard to the public good and the benefit of individual recipients, are the problems which confront the Women\u2019s 4 hnstian Association.Diffi cult questions occasionally arise, involving no little care and consideration to meet the exigencies of each case and at the same time preserve a steady and consistent course, Without any intimate knowledge of circum stances and surroundings it is impossible to form an impartial judgment, and at times when the action of the Committee has )>een apparently open to criticism, evidences of confidence and support have not been with held, and are especially gratifying.Some of the departments have assumed considerable proportions and are endowed with power to make and carry out their own arrangements.They are also accorded the privilege of speaking for themselves and detailing particulars which may be culled for tho annual report.The one to whom most honour is due, is the Refuge Committee, whose work is always of a troublesome and harrassing nature.That Committee reports that during this last year seven young unfortunate girls have been cared for, double the number of any previous year and not one a native or resident of Quebec.As tho accommodation at the Refugo is merely temporary, arrangements had to be made for sending the girls elsewhere, but while sheltered at the Refuge, they were visited by some of tho Committee, all necessary clothing supplied, and their board anil travelling expenses arranged for.We do not of course publish details for our work for unfortunates, and none but members of this and kindred Associations know how very many discouragements arc met with in this branch of work.We are sensible of mistakes in judgment, and our great need of Divine Wisdom and Guidance, but we purpose going forward claiming His own promise : \u201c1 will instruct thee, and teach thee in the w ay thou shall go, I will guide thee with mine eye.\u201d The main branch of our Association work is the Boarding Homo, which is open to respectable womeif^ and which affords them the comfort ami protection df home, for a charge commensurate with the means and circumstances of each boarder 5 some assistance, in the work of the house, being required from those who arc unable to pay.It is especially intended for those who are de-pemlant on their own exertions for support, yet its privileges are not withheld from the otherwise homeless.8ad cases occasionally come under our notice, that are ineligible for admission, and as some misapprehension may exist regarding the aim of our Boarding Home, we would slate that its chief object is to surround unprotected girls, with good influences, and to keep them from contact with evil, so that while assistance and shelter are given many unfortunates coming Under oUr notice, we feel responsible to the parents and friends of the young girls at the Boarding Home, And for that reason, cannot receive any doubtful characters there.During the year the total number of boarders has been 87.The Immigration Committee has been discontinued, as the work formerly done by that Committee has been undertaken by the Women\u2019s Protective Immigration Society.Still the events of the past few years have shown that the existing arrangements are inadequate, and emphasise the need of^.an Immigrant\u2019s Home, or some similar institution, on the same lines, though on a smaller scale, than the one carried on by the Womens\u2019 Protective Immigration Society of Montreal.As is frequently stated in former re ports, the General Committee are always willing to receive young women who can be recommended as to character or ability, but unfortunately the majority of those whocome to Quebec are not worthy of such recomman dation, and much trouble and expense are incurred, providing for them here, or sending them back to their own country.Tho district visitors have paid 180 visits, and found many out of employment during the winter months, were it not for the assist-ance rendered by the different national societies and City Mission, tbe distress would have been very great.Any childrens books, not in Use, if given to this Committee, would find their way to the hands of those to whom they would give great pleasure, some little ones not having many enjoynients such os ftheir more fortunate brothers and sisters are accustomed to.Three hundred Christinas letters in English and French were distributed.Visits are paid by the Jail Committee whenever there are Protestants in that building.We might also mention that some of the General Committee visit a young girl in Bcnuporl Asylum, and correspond with her father, letting him hear of her from time to time.The Convener of »he Hospital Committee reports over 100 visits paid to thé différent hospitals, and says i \u201cPatients always wel come us with bright faces and eagerly look for our papers, the illustrated ones specially giving pleasure to those who canuot read.\u201d A very important part of the work is done hy this Committee in visiting and comforting the sick and afflicted, and, when the patient is a stranger in a foreign land, away from home and loved ones, lying on a sick bed, often nearing the other shore, the duty is not one to be lightly undertaken, and the Convener urges on her Commit tee the necessity of showing by word and action, that all is done \u201cIn His nameand for His sake.\u201d The Sewing Committee meet fdr work every Wednesday morning, and are always ready to welcome volunteers.They have, by their quiet, concentrated efforts, largely added to the funds for the running expenses of the house, and are much indebted to Miss Latimer, as through her kindness in dis- {osing of articles on lioard the \u201c Miramtchi,\u201d 26 was realized.Miss Latimer\u2019s invaluable assistance is also given to the General Committee.Her intimate knowledge of the urgent necssitics of the poor fits her for being the proper channel through which 840 is gladly given to alleviate some poverty and suffering.Ono of the objects of the Women\u2019s Christian Association is to privido a Reading Room for young women, and in furtherance of this, a newfoature ofwork isengagingoiirattentiou From a suggestion made to the President, and carefully considered by the Committee, a Girl\u2019s Friendly Society has been inaugurated, the object of which is to bring in closer contact Protestant girls away from home, and place at their disposal, a cheerful well-lighted room, where they may meet every Tuesday evening for an hour and a half, and amuse themselves with books, papers or games procured for them.Once a month some of the Committee meet with them, and provide tea and cake, also mental food both instructive and entertaining.Those whose names could be procured were personally invited, and a good many availed themselves of the invitation, but the Committee wish that all those Protestant girls, for whose sake the Society has been started, would understand they will be heartily welcome.In order to lessen the household expenses as much as possible, another Committee has been formed to ascertain when supplies arc needed, and purchase them as advantageous ly as possible.The duties of Matron are faithfully discharged by Miss Wilson, who spares no effort in furthering the happiness of those under her care.Some trouble was taken by the Committee in arranging a diet roll providing change of food for each day in tlie week, ami this was thought might lessen her labours.- Our heart felt thanks are tendered the Very Reverend Dean Norman, for his kindness in conducting the Itiblo Class every Timr.-day evening in the Committee Room, and his goodness in giving so much of his time and attention ate ttitich Anyone wishing to attend will be And more should avail themselves opportunity.it is gratifying to know, that, through the assistance willingly given, of so many kind friends, the Harvest convert was an exceptional success, Imth from a social ami musical point of view.We regret to record the death of Mrs.J.C.Thomson, who for so many years, was a allied momber of tbe Committee.We have appreciated, ic welcomed, of tho many zealous willing workers, several of the new members proving themselves thoroughly helpful, but more are needed, apd.iu the various branches of Wbrk, there is full scope, for the exercise of every talent, entrusted to us for use, and improvement hy the master.Among the many gifts, which, through the thoughtful kindness of friends, we have received, are flowers, fruit, provisions of all kinds, a large number of plates and dishes, illustrated papers, a screen and a

J.H.Clint, Esq., which showed the total receipts of the year to have been 82,736.80, inclusive of the $390.67 balance from last year, while the total expenditure was $2,511.38, including $-200 voted to the Building Fund, leaving a balance of $225.42 in bank and on hand.(Applause).The gentlemen selected to move and second the various resolutions were then severally called upon by the Chairman.The Dean of Quebec moved the first resolution, as follows :\u2014 \u201c Resolved,\u2014That the repot t and statement now read be adopted and printed under the direction of the Committee of Management.He spoke most sympathetically of Miss Pope and was glad to know that after the severe illness from which she had suffered, she was now oh a fair way to recovery.He felt sure that the severity of her illness was due, in great measure, to theEeal with whiiHi she prosecuted what she deemed to be the path of duty, though without the necessary strength.He highly commended the work of tho Association during the past year as indicated by tho reports which hail been so admirably prepared and presented, and referred specially to the Girl s Friendly Society as a specie* of work which had often suggest^ 1\t^1»\t__ \u2014\u201441\u2014\tr-1 Such ed itself to him as eminently useful, an organization had existed in his own congrégation in Montreal, but in view of the limited number of workers in Quebec* he thought it was infinitely preferable that the various congregations should unite their efforts and concentrate them upon one Association of the kind.He alluded to the kind references in the report to his Bible Class and expressed the pleasure which he took in this work, which he was careful to conduct upon lines that permitted nothing to come up that might prove distasteful to any Orthodox Protestants.Noting the satisfactory balance in hand as indicated by the financial state ment, he took the opportunity of reproving those who in a pessimistic manner were in the habit of complaining of what they termed the decadence of Quebec.It miphfc be that there was a numerical decrease in the English-speaking population, but there was little or no falling off in the amount of food useful work that was \u2019rotestant community, or in its contributions for religious or charitable purposes.If the decrease fh numbers was so large) it milst be therefore that the best portion of thé popula tion was left behind,\u2014a kind of survival of the fittest, as Mr.Darwin would say.(Laugh ter and applause.) He had much pleasure in moving the resolution.Revd.Mr.Dykeman seconded the resold tion.It was, he said, the first time he had been privileged to address the members of the Association and their friends, and tho first time he had been in their building.Quebec was the -first place in which he had lived where such an Association existed, ami ho re joiced to find that the Quebec Sisters hail ac qomplished so innchvhere and had banded themselves together for so noble a purposi He did not know very much as yet of the work done by the Association, only such ks he had learned from its reports, but he hoped soon to know more of it.He could only ask God to continue to bless the ladies engaged in this work, and to bless their work too, and to wish for them all that when they come be fore tho Great White Throne they may hear the welcome words : \u201c Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of thesC ye have donë it unto me.\u201d (Applause.) The resolution was unanimously adopted.A sacred solo was then admirably rendered by Miss Norris.The Chairman, in calling upon Revd.E.I.Rexfprd to move the second resolution, said he did so with mingled feelings.It always afforded him pleasure to hear Mr.Rcxford speak, but it was not without very sincere pain that he felt that this might lie one of the last occasions upon which they would hear him in Quebec at such a meeting as this.There were few men in the community who could not be bélier spared by the Protestants of Quebec than Mr.Rexford, and he still felt like wishing that sdmething might yet occur to keep him here.(Applause.) Revd.F., I.Rexford thanked the Chairman for the complimentary references to him in connection with his approaching departure for Montreal, aud humorously remarked that it was quite an unction to his soul to listen to them, after having been told a few min ules before that all the good people remained in Quebec aud the other kind went away.(Laughter.) He hail much pleasure In moving the following resolution :\u2014 \u2019\u2018Resolved, \u2014That this meeting gratefully and htimbly acknowledges tho abundant measure of success heretofore vouchsafed, and implores the blessing of Almighty God in continuing to carry out the purposes of this Association.\u201d He complimented the Acting Secretary, Miss Clint, not only upon the excellent matter contained in the report, but upon the splendid manner in which it was preseuted, and referred to the important part which this played in making a success of the meeting.He was glad to note that this resolution not only asked a continuance of God\u2019s blessing upon the work, but also returned thanks for past mercies.He felt that it was, as a rule, a common failing with Christian people to neglect tiie sacrifice of thanksgiving, and he knew churches in which for every thanksgiving sent up to God for recovery from illness or for preservation in danger, there were probably ton prayers asked and offered for the same.He remembered to have seen at tho mines near Sherbrooke an ingenious contrivance by which long rows of buckets were passed up and down over wires, those on one side going up empty to the mines on the side of a hill and those on the other returning laden with ore.We sent up our buckets, figuratively speaking, quite empty, while God returned them to us freighted with his richest blessings.(Applause.) Revd.Dr.Weir seconded the resolution in a very few choice words, saying that God would most certainly bless work which was done, as this was, in His name, and solely to His glory, and that the blessing would also fall upon those engaged in such work.The motion was unanimously adopted.Revd.D.Tait moved the third résolution, which was in tl \u2022 following terms That the thanks of the meeting he given to the retiring Committee, and that tho election of tho following l*e confirmed :\u2014 President, Mrs.W.R.Dean.Vice-Presidents, Mrs.1).Laurie, Mrs.Dawson, Mrs.C.Scott, Mrs.Leitcb.Treasurer, Mias Clint.Secretary, Miss Louisa Pone.Secretary Pro-Tern, Miss Clearihuc.Assistant-Secretary, Mrs.W.Welch.Committee of.Management Mrs Glass, Mrs.Waddell, Mrs.McLeod, Mrs.J.Bowen, Mrs.Geggio, Mis.Bonham, Mrs.A.Bowen, Miss Stewart, Miss Roberts, Miss Foote >Jis8 I-ane, Miss Fcdden, Miss Freeman, Miss Glass, MisS Frnser, Miss Woodley, Miss Dean, Miss Hossack, Miss Norris, Misa Henderson, Miss Lamb.In support of Ins resolution, the reverend gentleman said that their thanks were indeed due to tho ladies for their noble efforts and splendid success in this work, though they of course gave themselves up to thisjrorl: from higher and altogether different motives than a desire to he thanked.He was sure that the ladies would permit him to remind them that In working for others they were also doing much i/nod to themselves and strengthening their faith and deVotion.ITn epokn favorably of tho work amongst domestic servants hy means of the Girl's Friendly Society, and suggested that a most useful field of operations, if the ladies could manage to occupy it.would l>e the opening of schools of instruction in housekeeping, cooking and nursing.It was lamentable how deficient many domestic servants were iti these respects, and how much discomfort Was caused to families thereby, (-hough probably tho girls weré ii«>b always theirisclves to blame alone.(Applause.) Mr, E.T.1).Chambers seconded the resolution and alluded to the distinguished American clergyman who recently addressed a public meeting in Qkiebec, and in the course of such address, referred to the common yet popular chromo, representing a female figure clinging to the cross.The learned divine had intimated that to make the picture complete, the figure should be represented as having one arm only around the cross and the other around a struggling companion.That was the picture presented to the speaker hy the \\\\ omen's Christian Association and the work in which it was engaged.He congratulated the retiring Committee upon the success with Inch it had administered the affairs of the Association and wished there was half as much wisdom and economy displayed in the management of all public affairs in Queliec including those of the City Corporation.I might perhaps pay the citizens to try the experiment of sending ladies to the City Council instead of gentlemen, lie reminded the meeting that it was not enough t) thank the ladies fof their past efforts and to request ihem to continue tho same.It was necessary to furnish them with thcen with such difficulty procured for him, to pass it to a dying soldier, who was gazing at it with wistful eyes, saying os ho did so, \u201cThy necessity is greater than mine.\u2019 He was sure that this resolution like thq others would meet with the unanimous approval of the meeting.\u2014(Carried.) The Dean of Quebec moved a vote of thapks to the Chairman, which was unanimously adopted, and took occasion to say that he had not Mr.Rexford particularly in his mind when he spoke of the best Quebecers remaining here, but at life same time it was only right to remark that that gentleman was covering himself with obloquy in leaving a city where he had proved himself so useful and had been enabled to do so much good.(Laughter.) The Chairman, in closing the meeting, referred to its success and to the excellence of the speeches, aud commented upon tlic suggestions ofl\u2019ered hy Rev, Mr.Tait, especially that respecting the training of nurses.The nursing of the sick was a work to which Imites might with advantage to ^hemselves and to others devote themselves, and he took occasion in this connection to refer to the noble sacrifices made in this direction by some of the Roman Catholic sisterhoods.The meeting closed with the singing of the doxology, and with the benediction pronounced by Rev.Professor Mac Adams.ear :\u2014Messrs.,).B.Ferguson and James Yeo, Wardens ; Messrs.T.Crockett, Bcnj.Walker, John Hill, George Maxwell, and Samuel Williams, Vestry Committee ; Mr.Walter Hogg, Sexton ; Messrs.J.A.Jarvis and William Le Brock, Auditors, and Messrs.E.A.Jones and R.A.Davy, Delegates.Rev.K.Weary, Incumbent.The Parsonage, Riviere du Loup, April 12, 1891.\t.\u201cILLUSTRATED QUEBEC.\u201d DeHeate Infants.Dyer\u2019s Improved Fixid for Infants ia jruar-anteed pure, and easily digested.It will be found of great value for weak, delicate children, cutting teeth especially Price 25 cents.All Druggists keep it.W.A.Dyer & Co., Montreal.N\t2 No More Broken Glas».A well-known scientific review says that to prevent the breaking of windows and mirrors from vibfatibris caused ity the firing of cannons and mino explosions in close proximity, it is only necessary to paste strips of paper on the fragile articles, crossing them in opiswite directions from where the tiring proceeds.But to prevent a serious illness, you must use Bourka s Electric Magic Oil, an indispensable family remedy.January 28, 1891.\tJanl7-Lm Some of the old residents ofGetcheH'sCor-ner in the town of Fairfield, Me., say that when storms are stalking abroad the moans of a dog are heard issuing from a piece of woods near hy.These dismal sounds are supposed to he connected with a tragedy en acted there almost a century ago.A pioneer while felling trees, was struck hy a falling birch and afterwards found lying dead in the forest, his faithful dog by his side.The dog is said to have haunted the spot till he per ished of hunger and his wraith is said to haunt the spot now.At any rale, it is ccr tain that when the wind blows hard a howl ing may he plainly heard in the region there about.Busy !

but Spain ia going to construct a great building, surrounded by statues of all the great Spanish discoverers and explorers, and will contain a museum of everything that can be collected that Ijc* longed to any-of the great men.It will be decorated with historical paintings, and there will be a historical hall for the discussion of all questions relating to the early discoverers and will be particularly a permanent monnnfent td Columbus, and a crown for his immortality./\tA.Baldasano, Jr.\u201d New Anglican Mission «'liurcli, Ulvlere «It* Lonp Station.Tho new Anglican Mission Church at Riviere du Loup Sution was opened for Divine Service on Kastcr Sunday lust.Plie following services were held throughout tho day : Morning Prayer with sermon and Holy Communion at 11a.m.;
