American \u201d The November number begins a new volume and contains the first chapters of a powerful novel of New York society, called \u201cSveet Bells Out of Tune,\u201d written by Mrs.Burton Harrison, the author of \u201c The Anglomaniacs.\u201d In this story the fashionable wedding, the occupants of the boxes in toe Metropolitan Opera House, the \u201c smart set \u201d in ihe country house are faithfully reflected, and ihe illustrations by Charles Dana Gibson, Life'» well-known cartoonist, are as brilliant as the novel.In this November number begins also a great series of papers on \u201cThe Bible and Science,\u201d opening with \u201cDoes the Bible contain Scientific Errors ?\u201d by Prof.Shields, of Princeton, who takes decided ground that the Bible does not contain scientinc errors of any moment, and who most interestingly states the case from his point of view.Other articles in this series will include one in the December (Christmas) number, \u201cThe Effect of Scientific Study upon Religious Beliefs.n An important series of letters tha passed between General Sherman and his brother, Senator John Sherman, is also printed in November, which number contains

was continued in the leadership of the party in the House of Commons.Lord Salisbury and other pronounced C onservatives spoke in behalf of a vigilant, active and united opposition to Mr.Gladstones Home Bulb Bill, and every utterancf) of a strong and harmonious opposition was greeted with evidences of enthusiasm.It was unanimously decided to move as an amendment to the motion for the secoAd reading of the Home Rule Bill, that it be read six months hence.The Chronicle holds that the advanced laboritea, by defeating Henry Broadhurst at Grimsby, have given the Government a much needed lesson on the danger of ignoring the influence of the labor vote.Sir Michael Hicks Beach (Conservative) has given notice in the House ot Commons of his intentio i to move an amendment to reject the Home Rule Bill.This amendment will proliably be the official amendment of the Opposition.Consols, both for money and account, are flat in conecquence of the reports that the United States will issue a

proclamation hail been issued declaring that Bonilla had been chosen President.Telegraphic communication with Teguioigalpa is interrupted.Ex-President Bogr&n, of Honduras, who was succeeded by Lieva, has announced that he will support the cause of Vosqutz and has sent a strong detachment to reinforce his army.A despatch from Corricnto, Nicaragua, says that the Nicaragnan forces are being mobilized on the northern frontier, but their mission is not made public.In view, however, of the early reports that Nicaragua had promised to aid Bonilla it is not improbable that Nicaraguan troops would be sent to Hondura to reinforce Bonilla, should the army under Vasquez prove too strong for him.AMERICAN.Washington, March 8\u2014The period of perfunctory visiting has passed and the greater number of politicians who called on President Cleveland were bent on business.Applications for office were filed by the score, Mr.Cleveland saw nearly all who came.One of the earliest callers was

Apostolic Delegate Satolli.Bishop O'Farrell will now take steps to install Rev.Father Leahy in possession of the church at Sweedsboro, to which he was recently appointed, but was denied admission by

of money aud diamonds.After his death the desk fell into Mr.and Mrs.Price\u2019s possession.No money was found in it, but at various intervals ever since mysterious rappings emanating from the desk have startled and mystified the Prices.They have lived in six houses in the 11 years, but the rappings continue, sometimes every day, frequently several times a day.They use the deslc for a clothes press in the kitchen, and sometimes the rappings at night are so loud that Price has to get up and shut the kitchen door.The Prices arc not spiritualists nor superstitious, yet they aver to the truth

8\u2014The Banque Nationale authorities are mourning the loss of $0,030, which was \u201cscooped out\u201d of them by one of their former customers.The game by which the money was got was cunningly planned out.The detectives have been notified and âro communicating with officers in the United State's fof the trapping of Louis Rihoulet, former owner of the big cork works in this city.This concern was started four years or so ago, and was owned and managed by Riboulet and his father.While living in Montreal Riboulet did business with the Banque Nationale.His standing was considered good.A couple of weeks ago Riboulet went to the Banque Nationale with drafts on customers' for a large amount.Thinking that Riboulot\u2019s customers had authorized him to draw on them, the bank advanced over $6,000.When the drafts fell due a week later, the officers of the bunk were told by the customers that they had never authorized Ribou-1st to draw on them and would not pay the drafts.When the officers visited Riboulet\u2019s Elace they found it closed up.He has not een seen since.Riboulet was the man who took Gabriel Dumont, Louis Riel\u2019s Lieutenant, to France and America and mthibiled him.Tlv^ Star publishes the following special cables from London, Eng .this evening : \u2014 Mr.Herbert Gardner, the President of the British Board of Agriculture, made an important speech in the House of Commons last night, which is generally regarded as foreshadowing the removal at an early date of the scheduling of (Canadian cattle imported alive into the United Kingdom.Mr.\\V illiam Grey Ellison Macartney, Conservative, Antrim South, and soase of the Opposition members strongly urged the passage of a bill to prohibit all live stock imports.This aroused the fighting proclivities of several of the Scotch members and they made a long plea for the free entry of Canadian cattle.After having listened attentively to the arguments But forth on both sides, Mr.Gardner arose.[e deprecated the proposition advocated by the members who would bar out all foreign live stock.It was not the intention of the Government, he said, to4niild a brazen wall of protection ^around the British coast and thus deprive the farmers for all time of healthy cattle from abroad.Such a conrse would be neither in the interests of the graziers or the consumers of meat.Continuing in regard to Canada\u2019s case, he said that it was with the utmbst regret that the prohibition was adopted against the Dominion of Canada.Then followed a statement which has long been looked for.Mr.Gardner hoped that before long he would be able to remove the restrictions against the Canadian cattle.(Cheers from the Scotch members).He was moved to make this announcment by a consideration which he gave utterance to.Canada was the most loyal of all Great Britain\u2019s colonies.(Hear, hear).He did not envy the lot which would befall a Colonial Minister of the Opposition when they came to reckon up matters with the Dominion Government, if the bill prohibiting the importation of all cattle passed.Mr.Chaplin, the former President of the Board of Agriculture under Lord Salisbury\u2019s administration, strongly supported the bill, thouch he stated he should be sorry to interfere with the Canadian trade, The motion was then put to a vote and was happily rejected, the vote being 186 to 161.An interesting case

The St.Eoch's Sensation.Commencement of the Autopsy.Further Evidence at the Inquest.The autopsy upon the body cf the late Mr.Fortin was cd^nenccd yesterday afternoon, by Dr.C.E.Lemieux.The bowels and stomach will be placed in scaled jars and handed over to analysts, to be appointed by the Government, to analyse and report upon.The inquest was resumed, yesterday, before Dr.Bellcan and the jury.The continuation of the evidence of J.K.Fortin, son of the deceased, was os follows : After the death of his father he mentuxied his suspicions to Mr.Lepine, undertaker, who argued that he should not make them public then, for he would, by so doing, create a scandal.But the body would not be buried but placed in the winter vault, so that if it was found necessary it could be exhumed and the inqnest held later.His sister Eva also urged him not to create trouble by making public any of his suspicions, and made him promise to call at the Sacré Co?ur (\u2019onvent and see his sister Josephine there, who was Mother Loa s, the Superior of the institution.She also urged him not to say anything about his suspicions, which would only create a scandal by showing what kind of a woman their father had been married to.Besides she said God would punish the guilty.His brother Honore from Montreal was present at the time.About ten days ago hU brother Arthur from Montreal was here and in speaking of the rumors he had heard, insisted on witness going to the coroner.He then made the deposition before Judge Chaozeau, which was produced, and which he said wàs true.Cross-examined by Mr.W.J.Miller, advocate, he said that he had never been present at any family difficulty between his father and stepmother, but some time ago heard harsh language pass between them iff their rooms, which were over his, and thought also that his father threw the prisoner down.Ho told her she had committed crimes enoush to send her to the gallows.This was after the sister and the wife of the witness had told the deceased something of the prisoner\u2019s conduct.\t- Much of the cross-examination of this witness was of no importance whatever.The salient points are continued in the following : Q\u2014You know that your brother Arthuf has threatened your stepmother to sue her for wages that were clue to your brother Al-dcric, who is at Bcauport Asylum, for $150 ?A.\u2014My brother Arthur, on positive Information, wrote to my stepmother that he was trying to get the interdiction of my brother, so that a tutor be named to draw the $150 that she owed him.Q.\u2014You sued your stepmother after the death of your father for $500 ?\u2022 A.\u2014Yes, for libel.'Q.\u2014Before and after your father\u2019s death your stepmother sued you tor an amount of $400.A.-\u2018\u2022Yes, and these two law suits are still pending, I think.Q.\u2014Don\u2019t you know that what yonr father left will not briog more than $2,000 to $2,-600?, A.\u2014I never tried to know iiow much money my father left at his death.Q.\u2014 Yon took more trouble to obtain from your father a donation of $4,000 or $5,000 for yourself ?A.\u2014Some time beforewny father\u2019s death,\u2014 a month, 1 believe,\u2014I balanced my accounts and we came loan understanding by which he gave me all the machinery that I had invented, and that on condition that I would give to my brothers and sisters, in the six mouths following his death, the sum of $100 each.Q.\u2014Did yon think th&t your father was on the point of death ?A.\u2014No ; he was then perfectly well.Q.\u2014According to this donation your father cave a great part of his revenues ?A.\u2014The value of the machiuery was nominal.A great deal of time was spent in questioning the witness as to whether he went of his own accord or by request of his step-¦pother for certain medeciue for his father, and so with an attempt to confuse him as to dates, he, having said it was on the 2^st December that certain events occurred whi!e his deposition before Judge Chauvcaa said these events happened on the 20th.In (beafternoon, Mr.J.Amedeo Mailloux, gentlemen, of Crowff Street, woa examined and said that he saw the deceased two or three times during his illness.When he saw him two or three days before his death, he considered him very ill and said st so h'a wife, urging that a priest be sent for, and saying that if there were any arrangements to be made by him, they should be attended to.He was led to do this because some months before Mr.Fortin had told him that he, witness, ought to see to the safeguarding of the interest of the youngest daughter, Eva, of the deceased.Witness accepted unwillingly, because lie foresaw that there might bo family trouble.The day before deceased died, he urged him to settle up his affairs and he said \"we\u2019ll see to that to-morrow.\u2019k On tho next afternoon witness found deceased so bad that he urged his wifç to send at once for the doctor, which she did.Dr.Lebil arrived soon afterwards and then Dr.Verge.They decided that Fortin could not live till the next day, and Dr.Lebel told witness that he had been spoken of by Fortin aa the man to settle his affairs and that he ought to send at once for a notary, which ho did.He went up to the deceased\u2019s room, when Mrs.Fortin said it was.useless to make any arrangements as she had a marriage contract.She added that she would not si^n anything.Tl:e notary told her he was going to do as he was instructed and told prisoner that xshe ongi t to leave>t!ic room.She did so but left tho door open that she might hear what was said.The notary got np and shut it and asked deceased what will he wanted to make.He said that he desired to give his daughter Eva what money he had in bank also an insurance policy and two mortgages, one due by a Mr.Cloutier.The will was never made, however, for deceased lost consciousness, after a drink given him by prisoner who came into the room with a pen and ink.Fortm died about an hour later.The evidence of Mr.Body, notary, was then taken but elicited nothing new.Glass Eyes and their Makers.In Thuringia there is a whole district which is dependent for its support on the manufacture of artificial eyes, husbands^ wives, aud children all working together at this same means of livelihood.And yet, though these simple Gorman village people turn out their produce by the dozen, no twe eyes are ever the same.No artificial eye has its exact fellow either in colour or in size in the whole world.The method < f the manufacture is not a very complicated art.There are firstly irlass plates, which are blown by gas jets, then moulded by baud into the form of an oval shaped cup.Then there is the colouring of the eyes, which is effected by the means of tracing with fine needles, the tints being left to the taste of the individual worker, though the scope of their taste is necesrarily limited to greys and blues, ami browns aud blacks, which colour* are assorted together before being

Government, The House, he said, had heard the member for LTslet affirming high ptiirciples in his speech the other day.His remarks were all intended to convince the House that he was the champion of the minority in Manitoba.The resolution with which he closed his spee-jh, however, was most unfortunate, llad he blamed the Government for not disallowing the Act of the Local legislature abolishing the French language in Manitoba and for not disallowing the two Act* of that Legislature abolishing separate schools, os well as censuring the Government for not immediately upon the decision of the Imperial Privy Council declaring those Acts constitutional, granting remedial legislation, he would have been abfe to support his motion.As it was Mr.Tarte\u2019s speech promised a fair beautiful angel child, but the resolution .which closed his soeech brought forth not tho beautiful angel child the House had been led to ex pect, but a hideous little monster which the point of disingenuousnesa, hod talked THE TALK OF THE DAY.Quite a crusade has been organized against Prof.Goldwin Smith, on account of his political opinions, in tho West When some of our contemporaries wish to be very severe and killing, they describe the subject of their wrath as \u201cMr.G Smith.\u201d Tho other day, several members of the St.George's Society of Toronto un dertook to censure the Professor, and a resolution favoring his expulsion from the body, of which he has long been a life member, was offered.Wiser counsels prevailed, howeveff and the motion to expel was withdrawn, and a resolution was carried instead, which deplored the Professor\u2019s views on the annexation question.It seems to us that too much is being made of Dr.Smith\u2019s position and public utterances in this country.He is a private gentleman of means and refine- viewed in the light of the seutiments express-meat, an exceptionably able writer ed in the soeech of the member for L Islet, and speaker, and an Englishman to the manner born.He is entitled to free speech in a free country such as ours, and all efforts to close his lips and muzzle his pen are unavailing in this age.Mr.Smith has not asked the people to take up arms against Great Britain, and go over bag and baggage to the United States.He has simply stated that, according to his ideas and study of the subject, in all its hearings, the manifest destiny of tho Provinces is Annexation.He does not force people to adopt his views.But he presents them, and has the courage to say what he thinks on the subject.Many other men have done the same thiifg, and more than one distinguished Englishman holding a high position in English political life, has said that the moment the Colony wishes to sever her connection with the Mother Country, she can do so, and not a gun will be tired from an Imperial battery to restrain her.This is not flattering to our pride, it may be confessed, but it is true, nevertheless.For our own part, we do not wish to see our flag changed for that of tho neighboring Republic.We prefer to remain under British rule, and to hold allegiance to the British Sovereign.But we would not stifle the voices of men who cannot see eye to eye with us.It is a mistake to hound down Goldwix Smith, to call him o traitor, and to inspire feelings of hatred agiinst him, simply because he thinks that he sees a little further into the future than we do.If he thinks annexation is coming, let him think so.He cannot deliver us into the American Union without our con* sent.There is no use making a martyr out ofhim.There is no use trying to belittle him.Hie place in the history of this country and in England is established, and turning him out of St.George\u2019s Society in Toronto, would accomplish very little of a creditable character, so far as the Society is concerned.St.George\u2019s Society has na business with politics.It has other functions.Dr.Smith is a very useful and charitable member of the body.He has baen a life member for many years.What he thinks about our political future should in no way interest the Society as a Society.We are afraid the Society has been .\u201cgot at\u201d for political purposes, and it is a matter for regret, we think, that this attempt to discipline Professor Smith was ever made.All that Dr.Smith -says and writes in favor of annexation caimôt bring that ama\u2019gamation about, unless the people of Canada themselves decide to join the two countries together, and throw ofl the \u201cBritish yoke.\u201d use bu bom3 of Our Nett Prices !

ed in the speech ought to be as hideous in its appearance to that member as it certainly waa to every other member of the House.It was {jnite evident that thfe presumed father of this little monster, the member for LTslet, was not the real parent of this resolution.IV ho then was ita father Î He quoted at length from an article published in the Canadian Magazine over the signature of Mr.Dalton McCarthy, M.P., and said here were evidences of the parentage of the little monster.(Laughter).He showed that all the ideas expressed in tho resolution were also expressed in almost tho identical language in this article written by the member for North Sitncoe.Mr.Tarte\u2014I am the genuine father of my resolutiou.Mr.Amyot\u2014Then I cannot congratulate the hon.gentleman upon the monster he has evolved.(Laughter).He proceeded tq point out that in the eveut of the resolution being carried by the House and Messrs.Tarte and McCarthy being called upon to form a Uov-eruinent.(laughter), that Government could, under this very resolution, say to the minority in Manitoba that it was not asked in the resolution to grant any rights to the minority in Manitoba.He accused the member for L Islet of trifling with the serious question of the rights of the Roman Catholic minority in Manitoba for the purpose of catching a few votes.He denounced the secret league between one who claimed to be the champion of the minority in Manitoba ami the most inveterate enemy of that same minority.T he plan of campaign was too apparent to decei ve any one anu only meritea the strong disapproval of every one who had any sympathy with the wronged and oppressed minority in the Province of Manitoba.He demanded to know by what authority the meml>er for LTslet assumed the position of champion of the minority in Manitoba?Was he asked -by the minority in Manitoba or by any priest or prelate in that Province to defend their rights?Was he asked by any of the Bishops or Archbishops of the Roman Catholic Church to undertake this mission ?No, his assumption of the position of champion of the Manitoba minority, and the chosen defender of the Roman Catholic Church was a most un warranted assumption.Mr.Tarte\u2014I have been asked to represent the interests of the piinority and have letters to prove that I have authority to speak.Mr.Amyot\u2014Yes, private correspondence.The member for L\u2019isfet was all bis life going about joining and securing the confidence and secrets of political parties for the purpose of divulging them.He then went into lengthy argument on the question of the veto power of the Federal Government and the right of the Privy Council to hear and adjudicate in a judicial manner on petitions for redress presented under section 93 of the British North America Act.In conclusion, he made a vigorous attack on the meipber for LTslet for daring bs insult the priests pf the Roman Catholic Church, by saying that they eutered into an agreement with tho Government of Sir John Macdonald to influence the electors to support the Government.He was satisfied that Mr.Tarte was not any more sincere in his pretended defence of the minority in Manitoba than he was on the Riel question, when he deserted the cause of the National Party because he wished to save the Government, and fell sure there was little danger of Confederation being slashed, no matter what was dope, so long as the defence of the rights of the miuority had such a champion as thesmember for LTslet.Dr.Weldon announced his tutentton of voting against the motion of the memljer for LTslet.He commended the action of the Government in carefully considering the ap peats of îhp minority before coming to a decision.The «3rd section of the Briiish North America Act was one of the m.qst diffi cult of interpretation of any of the sections of that Act.He differed from Mr.McCarthy and thought that the Government had every right to assume judicial or quasi judicial functions on questions of this Iti.qd He showed abundant authority for this view and pointed out that Mr.McCarthy had wrongly quoted fyom Bagehot to prove exactly the contrary to what that eminent writer lays down as his vie*\u2019 on this subject Mr.Casey followed.It being six o\u2019clock, the Speaker left the chair.Faithful Betty.New Girl\u2014\u201cYoung man has called to see you, mem.\u201d Miss Lillian Languid (glancing at card)\u2014 \u2018Mr.Fits-James McStab !\u2019 Gracious !

Spring Goods received daily at S.Carsley's, Notre Dame street, Montreal.Children Cry for Pitcher\u2019s Castoria.Mr.Casey continued to support the amend ment at some length.Hon.Mr.Laurier then arose, amidst loud applause, to review the debate.He at once opened fire on the Government.Their only ground of opposition to Mr.Tarte\u2019s amendment, he said, was that it had the support of Mr.McCarthy.The connection between these two gentlemen was as wide as the poles asunder, yet it was quite consistent.Mr.Tarte believed that the minority in Manitoba ought to be proteoted, while Mr.McCarthy contended that legislative independence should be preserved.Both thought ihe question should have beeu settled, but they had been unable to get an answer in three years.Both had been able to arraign the Govern-meut to correct cowardice.He joined in the censure.The House had heard the defence of the Government, but be defied any one to find in it a single expression of the Government\u2019s policy.Then lie proceeded to review the debate as spoken from the Conservative side.Mr.Lariviere, of Provenoher, who above all others should, os special representative of the Manitoba Catholics, have defended their rights, had said nothing but to endorse the Government\u2019s policy.Sir John Thompson bad, in a skilful speech, skilful even to for \u2019two hours but an to the Government\u2019s policy.He too ha insinuated that Mr.McCarthy had had a share in framing the amendment, but such a statement was so childish that he (Mr.Lmrier) felt that it was almost beneath his dignity to deny it as he did.The Premier hud denied that Hon.Mr.Chapleau had ever been delegated to interview Archbishop Tache.He (Mr.Laurier) was quite ready to admit that Hon.Mr.Chaplean had never been empowered under the great seal of Canada to wait upon tho Archbishop of St.Boniface, but he asserted, with all his power, that Hon.Mr.Chapleau had had many interviews with the prelate, all of which had been reported to Sir John Macdonald and even most probably to the Minister of Justice.THe Premier\u2019s speech had been a happy medium of negation and affirmation, but its conclusion was calculated to convey a very false impression on the people of the country, in that it conveyed to their minds that the one decision of this question finally rested with the Courts and not with the Government.That was unfair.What the Courts had to decide was whether the Government had the right to interfere, not to decide upon the merits of the question, which had been settled by previous proceedings.The Province of Manitoba would have nothing to submit to as coining from the Courts, for executive action in this matter must be taken by thqGovornment and not by the Courts.The responsibility rested and must rest on the Government.The Solicitor-General had made a long and labored speech, in which ho attempted to crush Mr.Me Curthy under the wave of a mass of quotations which had not the slightest relevancy to the question.He too had concluded without telling the House what his opiuion was.Hon.Mr.Costig&n too, had grown warm in recalling his battles of former years for separate schools in New Brunswick, but he had grown very cold w\u2019hen he reached the subject of the Manitoba schools, for not a word had escaped his frozen lips as to his intentions.Thé Government was bound to declare its policy now and not longer pursue a policy of delay.Tho member for Bellechasse (Amyot) had never been charged with want of pluck before, but on this question he had been afraid to express his opinion.A reference to the Supreme Court under the present conditions was fraught with much danger.If the Courts decided that the Government had the power to interfere and it refused to obey this legal mandate, as great and dangerous but as just an agitation would arise.The whole course of the Government had been shifting, miserably shifting, in order to avoid coming to a division on this question.The issue was simple.The prayer of the oppressed minority must either bogranted or denied.Why had the Government allowed this matter to drift along for three years, simply because it had not the courage to grapple with it.There was none to be found in the Government brave enough to bo equal to the emergency of the hour, or with manhood enough to settle the question and although a simple question it was a difficult oue, for it aroused passions and pre j ml ices.It whs no longer a Manitoba ques tion, it had reached Ontario and spread over into Quebec.On the one hand there was the rumbling voice of Ontario that the legis latiou must not be interfered with.On the other, the voice of Quebec demanding that the rights of the minority must be preserved, Tho Government\u2019s policy hail been halting and vacillating, they had been afraid to act or even to speak.He, however, was not afraid to speak.Ho was not afraid of the passions of Protestants or Catholics, or of Ontario or Quebec, if only the voice of freedom was spoken and board.If the Government never spoke with reason, if they were vacillating and gaided by expediency, they would fail to reach the hearts of the people.If they allowed passion and bigotry to spread, the dnv would come when passion and temper would burst out into an agitation of a most dangerous character.He took nobler and higher ground Perhaps it was u >t poi-iblo to settle this question without offea-hsig ihe extreme Ca tholics or Protest ints, but there was a mid die course.'! he Government should appeal to all who took pride in b.011.4 Canadians, who believed iq the development of Canada whose supremo consideration was as a whole that of Canada, our country.Canada, before which all other considorali ms must yield and recede.He affirmed that the right was given ii> the Constitution to the miuority of Maui toba to appeal for redress when their right were invaded, an 1 claimed that this did not conflict with the doctrine of Provincial rights whigh, he was proud to say, had always been the doctrine of the Liberal party When tho history of the first twenty years of Confederation was written, the brightest page would be the efforts of the Liberal Çarty to preserve intact the rights of the rovinoes, and the names of E Iward Blake ami Oliver Mowat would shine ont above all others.They (the Liberals) had resisted the invasion of Provincial rights in the Letellier case, when the rights of Ontario in the Rivers aiyl Streams Bill were threatened and in the Manitoba railway case.He took issue with Mr.Weldon as to the construction of tl>e British North America Act, the education clauses of which were of* an ettraordinary nature.He reviewed the history of the clause which was introduced into the Confederation agreement by Mr.(now Sir A.T.) Galt, for the special protection of the Protestant minority in the Province of Quebec, that privilege of separate schools was granted to the ProtestanU by Mr.Papineau long before the union of the Provinces.Hon, Mr.Laurier next dwelt at length on tho negotiations in reference to separate schools prior tc Confederation, and having incidentally paid a high tribute of respect to the memory of the late Hon.Mr.Holton, whose name wouldever, he said, bo revered by all lovers of liberty and constitutional Government, proved that (sub-section 3 of section 93) the appelate clause in the educational section of the Confederation Act bawl been inserted for the protection of the Protestant minority in Quebec.But it waa clear that Sir Alex.Galt had not inserted these guarantees in the Confederation agreement simply for the protection of the minority in Queoec.He was too great a man for that.The clause was meant clearly to protect the rights of minorities in the other Provinces.He claimed on the broad ground of justice that such guarantees should be ap plied to the miuority in Manitoba as well as to the minority in the other Provinces.He held that it was a fundamental part of the Constitution that any minority which was aggrieved in educational matters had the right of appeal to the Dominion Parliament, but supporter os bç was of the doçtrine of Provincial rights, ho agreed that smjh power should be exercised with great oare.If the Legislature of Quebec were to abolish separate schools, Parliament would at once order remedial legislation and would be quite justified in so doing.He made an earnest argument for the application of the same rule to Manitoba as would be applied to Quebec in similar circumstances If the statement of Archbishop Tachg and the appellants from Man»t.oba were true\u2019 that uuder the guise of public schools there only existed Protestant schools and that Catholic children were forced to fttlpnd them or to go untaught, then a monstrous injustice had been done.(Applause.) Let his words go out broadcast to the end of the country, and though his life as a political man should be ended, he would repeat on every platform in Ontario and Manitoba, even in every Orange Lodge, that the Catholic minority of Mani (oba had beep submitted to the most infamous tyranny.He appealed to every true-hearted man that if this statement [were true, a most iniquitous system prevailed and should be interfered with at once.If it were true, he would go to plead tho case of the Catholics of Winnipeg before the Court* of Mr.Greenway hiwaçM- If an outrageous system pre vailed, not a minute ghoujd be lost in coming to the rescue of the oppressed minority.That was the reason why he arraigned the Government.That fact should have been at once investigated.Instead, tliey had resorted to subterfuges in order to avoid comintr to a decision.The first reference to the Courts had been 0 subterfuge, for it had never been intended to be final, as a judicial arbitration should bo.The Government were not able to relieve themselves from Ministerial responsi bility jn point of Jaw, but they bad succeeded admirably in point of faot Then Mr.Laurier reviewed the proceedings before the Canadian Privy Council and caused much amusement by his comments upon the various numbers of the Cabinet and their lack of experience in law, with the one exception of Sir John Thompson, who from his very connection with the cage w as disqualified from sitting as a Judge.He did not blame the Government for referring the matter to the Supreme Court if it was not to be » maks hift, but he would blamed them if it was a subterfuge as before.He blame them for their delays, which had al ready only added fuel to the flames of bitter feeling.Three times already, trifling with burning questions had produced such conyul sions as alinostto endanger the Confederat ion Unless a decision were soon announced feeling would grow until it reached some thing only short of rebellion against the law There was a grave disappointment in the minds of the people, and the impression pre vailed that a grave injustice had been done to a portion of Her Majesty\u2019s subjects (loud applause).Hon.Mr.Ouimet said that If the Opposition were satisfied with the decision of the Gov eminent in referring the question cf the right of the Government to grunt remedial legisla tion to the minority In Manitoba to the Supreme Court, the past record of the Government on tills important question should be a sufficient guarantee that the question ould be fairly dealt with in the future.The Government was accused of arousing natioual prejudices by delaying the final decision on this question.This accusai ion, he said, came with had grace from a political 8PORTINO NEWS.CURLING.A good deal of interest was aroused in the Quebec Curling Club recently owing to the announcement of the President (VVm.Brodie, Esq.), that he had procured and now gave to the Club a Cup, to be played for under the to stir up national prejudices.He justified the course of the Government by showing that the whole question waa involved with legal questions, upon which it was necessary to obtain a judicial opinion before coining to a final decision.Personally he was strongly in favor of separate schools, because he believed that principles of morality could not bo instilled into the minds of the young without religious teaching.He attrinuted the existence of tho Salvation Army to the moral ignorance of the poorer classes, consequent upon the absence of religious teaching in the schools of tho country.While holding these opinions stron'dy, ho respected tho opinions of those who thought differently.He pointed out the monstrous injustice done to the Roman Catholic minority by the abolition of separate schools in Manitoba, which meant tho appropriation by the common school system of all the property and school funds which by right belonged to the Roman Catholics of that Province.He went into a lengthy interpretation of section 93 of the British North America Act, and the corresponding section of the Manitoba Act, and defended the action the Government in assuming judicial functions, claiming that such action was a guarantee to the minority in Manitoba that this appeal for remedial legislation would be considered in a judicial manner without the intervention of political considerations.The ¦ncertainty of the right of the Government to grant remedial legislation justified a reference of the question to the Supreme Court, and ho said the Government would be gaided by the judgment of that Court in coming to a final decision, which he had no hesitation in saying would bo accepted by the majority of the people of Canada as well as by the majority of the people of the Province of Manitoba.The fierce denouncement by the leader of the Opposition of the Acts of the Manitoba Legislature abolishing separate schools and his abuse of the Government for not immediately undoing that legislation, would lead any.oue to think that the iniquitous Acts complained of had been passed by the Federal Parliament or by a Conservative Government in Manitoba.These oppressive and unjust Acts, so bitterly complained of, were the work of the political friends of the leader of the Opposi-tion.The Liberal party in the Province of Quebec had grasped the reins of power and Mr.Mercier had ridden into power by an appeal to the popular prejudices of the people of that Province on the Riel question.The result of the mistake which Quebec made at that time in idolizing a renegade had proved disastrous to the Province.Heaven only knows to what extent Quebec has suffered, financially and otherwise, by the great mis take committed in allowing full sway to those feelings of national prejudice and religious hatred, fanned into burning brands by a fanatical mob\u2019 of unprincipled politicians.He contended that if the Statement contained in the petition of Archbishop Tache, that the Catholic minority in Manitoba were being forced to support a system of Protestant schools, a new question of law would be must be won three times in five years.A large number of competitors met

VJUUU.8, the right to establish a system of neutral 1 schools, did not decide that the Roman Catholics of that Province could be compelled to support a system of Protestent schools.He defended his action in Eupporting Hon.Mr.Coatigan\u2019a resolution on the New Bruns wick School question, and said that the Conservative victory of 1878 was the result of the treacherous action of the Liberal party on that question.The Government, he said, had in the past always been able to defeat the demagogic policy of the Opposition, by appealing lo the common sense of the majority of the people of the Dominion, in its endeavor to deal in a fair and unbiased manner with all difficult questions calculated to raise national prejudices and religious bigotry.Messrs.Davln and McLean (Last York) followed.Sir Adolphe Caron congratulated the leader of the Opposition upon the eloquence of his speech on this importantquestion.The leader of the Opposition had done him the honor of referring to him as one who had been decorated with the Star for military services and who knew little of constitutional questions.It waa true he had been honored with the Star for his services during the North West rebellion, and it was likewise true that tho leader of the Opposition had not been bo honored.In faot.it was at that time that the leader of the Opposition declared that he waa ready to shoulder his musket and fight against the Government, the laws of the country and the Constitution.(Cheers).He admitted that he was not, perhaps, as conver sant with the legal questions and aspects of constitutional law as some hon.gentlemen were, but he rnaint&lnt|â that the advisors of His Excellency every oav exercised judicial functions.Tho leader of the Opposition had been very facetious in his remarks and had cast aspersions upon the qualifications of the Privy Council to assume judicial functions He would like to know if the leader of the Opposition could deny that the advisors of His Excellency did not every day exercise judicial functions.When it became the painful duty of the constitutional advisors of His Excellency to exercise judicial functions in the consideration of appeals for the commutation of capital sentences, oould the leader of the Opposition contend that these powers were improperly exercised.Was it not a fact, also, that in' deciding legal questions affect ing the great railway and other interests, that the Privy Council exeroised the same udicial functions as in the present case.In a qnestion of this kind, whioh was calculated to arouse deep feelings of a religious nature, was it not the most patriotic course to reter the settlement of such a question to a tribunal which would not he ftffeoted by party con- .sidérations.He pointed out that after a full XOW6IS, OQ@8tlll£S, investigation had been made into the legal | aspects of the question, the duty would devolve upon the Government of assuming the responsibility, from which it had never de parted, in advising His Excellency as to the final decision.The leader of the Opposition had, in violent terms, referred to the injustice done to the minority in Manitoba, if the oonten tion in the petition of Arohbishop Taché, that the Roipan Catholics of Manitoba were forced to send their children to Protestant schools, was true.This, said Sir Adolphe, was one of the most important questions to be decided by a reference of the question to the Supreme Court.Before a final decision could be given, all these questions affecting matters which were calculated to arouse national prejudice and religious strife, should be removed from the political arena and referred to a judicial tribunal for ft deolslou In ftocord with the Constitution of the country.When all the legal questions were thus decided and the question finally submitted to the Privy Coquoil, he declared that the decision of the advisors of His Excellency would meet with the approval of the fair-minded people in Canada.The analogous position occupied hy tho leader of the Opposition in having associated with him the member for North Simcoe, who had always been the enemy of the Roman Catholi people, would greatly weaken his case.He was satisfied that the people of the Province of (^qebeo would hear him out in this stfttemer.t.He referred in eloquent terms to the great concessions made long ago by the Catholic majority in the Province of Quebec, in granting the principle that separate schools should exist for the benefit of the Protestant minority in the Province.This concession had been made without even bejng asked fop, auiarria*rs and Death.*.RE cents, *0 exception will be made to this rule.M-A-XtlRI^GKE.Stethem\u2014Holt.\u2014At the residence of the bride\u2019s mother, 239 University street,

Pitcher1* Castoria.Eleventh Annual Report of the Woman\u2019s Christian Tom porance Union.We have in past years had cause for thank fulness, as each annual meeting fourni us at least free from debt, ami still lull of a determination,\u2014if it were God\u2019s will,\u2014toeontinue tli« work awaiting us.But this, our eleventh annual report, differs from any yet presented, as we are in a more prosperous condiiion than ever before.Not only have our efforts been apparently crowned with a measure of success, but notwithstanding tho magnitude of our undertakings during the closing year, our Treasurer\u2019s report shows a good balance on tho right aide.Besides this, we not only feel that by the united effort, hope and fear, our members have been drawn closer together ; but, if it savor not of boastfulness, that we have made many friends, unless indeed they but waited to be claimed.Certain it is that but for the kindness and generosity of our friends we never could have carried through successfully the different enterprises of the last year.That God\u2019s blessing lias rested on our efforts to do His work we cannot doubt, seeing that it has been so abundantly proved For the coming year our great need is more workers, that we may be justified in taking up new and much needed ivork, for instance, a department on Narcotics, another on Social Purity, aud one to take up the working of the Factories Act in as far as women are concerned, this last very much required.Although during the year we have gained many new members, yet through removals from the city we lose as many, and our number, therefore, remains about the same.The regular prayer and business meetings have been held with a good average attendance, besides a special prayer moetiug on the last day of October, for the success of our work throughout the world.We began the lust year with two lectures from Mr.John A.Nicholls, who also had a rnasa meeting for children, unfortunately these meetings emptied our treasury and we were still in debt, when a happy thought struck one of our members and approving of it, the Union held a home-made cake and candy sale, the result being that we w ere once more set on our feet.Just about that time began the collections for the Lucy E.Lamb memorial bed in the female -ward of the Jeffery Halo Hospital, and we were fortunate enough to be able from our own Union and friends to defray the entire expense of bed and furnishings, amounting to fifty-eight dollars.This bed was endowed by the Provincial Union and has been occupied for a good part of the year by an aged and helpless woman.On the 20th May last & deputation from oar Union had tho privilege of accompanying the Provincial President on her visit to the Parliament buildings for the purpose of presenting a petition asking that the Franchise in municipal and school matters be granted to properly qualified widows aud spinsters, the petition was granted before the close of the session.While the Royal Commission to enquire into tho liquor traffic sat in Quebec, a onm-v ber of our members were in constant attendance, by reqoest of Mr.F.8.Spence, representing the Dominion Alliance, who thought it possible that one of as might lie called upon for testimony and that in any case our presence might have an effect on the Commissioners.Our opinion is that no effect whatever was produced, at least not of the kind to be desired ; but we thereby at least acquired information as to the working of the laws, the views of those bv whom they are administered, and above all enlightenment as to the purpose served by a Royal Commission, when composed of four men (including the chairman) on the wrong side, and only one staunch prohibitionist.We come now to the great event of the year to us\u2014the four days\u2019 Convention held in the Methodist Church by the Provincial Woman\u2019s Christian Temperance Union.Thanks to the friends who threw open their homes to our guests, to those whose donations in eatables, money, or time and labor ; we were enabled to entertain close upon a hundred strangers in a manner with which all were delighted.The kindness was so universal that wo do not know the names of all onr friends, aud yet we would thank them everyone if we could.Through the courtesy of His Eminence the Cardinal, the Convention was accorded an audience, in which he assured the members present of his interest and prayers for the success of their work, besides which the gentlemen of his household exhibited for our benefit the treasures of art and tcieuce contained in the Laval University.The Superintendent of the Q.M.4 Charlevoix Railway, by making special rates, enabled a party of ninety to visit the Montmorency Falls and shrine of St.Anne, thus giving our visitors the enjoyment of two of the principal sights in the vicinity of Quebec.During (he past year our Literature Committee has beeu supplying parcels of literature and tracts to lumber camps, to sailors, military camps and some mines and outlying districts, and literature boxes are kept mica in hospitals, &c.The EvangelisticCommittse hasheld prayer meetings at the Citadel, when possible in two rivate houses and also at the Protestant Come ; after one of the latter a tea was given to twenty-four of the old lady inmates, much to their delight and also to the enjoyment of the members of the Committee who ministered to it.In connection with the Department for Scientific Instruction, the work being of a somewhat delicate nature, we have thought best this year to confine our efforts to offering prizes for the best essay on tho effect of eylco-lol and tobacco on the human system.All through the year the Flower Mission, under Mrs.Pfeiffer, has been doing its work faithfully and unostentatiously.Seven hundred bouquets and three hundred and fifty text curds have been given, and at the Jail, where flowers are not admitted, papers are sent, and wherever want or illness are known of, iood and clothing are sent during the long winter.In this way large quantities of clothing, meat, vegetables, fruit, jam, plum puddings, cakejand many other things are distributed.During Convention we had been urged to form a Ÿ Union, but fearing (after last year\u2019s experience) a second failure we formed a Y Committee instead, the members of which being nearly all the same as our Flower Mission, not strictly all Y\u2019s, have been under Mrs.Distin\u2014doing the same work, both Committees working harmoniously and each assisting and supplementing the other.Ten meetings have been held and two prayer meetings at the Protestant Home ; and bundles of clothing dietribmed to the poor as well as eatables and delicacies o?every kind to those in want or ill.The Band of Hope taught by onr Y\u2019s under Miss Fry is still flourishing and those familiar with this kind of work will not be surprised to hear that it is quite an undertaking for the young girls who devote to it their Friday afternoons.The past year\u2019s attendance has been good, though the membership is smaller, and to these chik|rcn a quantity of literature is weekly distributed\u2014thus are we working for the future and hoping that the seed sown may bring forth an hundred fold.In response to an appeal to that effect, the pledged children old enough to understand have contributed autograph cards to be sent to the Chicago Exhibition.Last Juno the Flower Mission distributed slips to the children and again in the autumn awarded four prizes to those whose plants were Sliest.The Look Out Committee visits the poor and members or others who are prevented by various reasons from attending the meetings of this Union, and yet are in sympathy with our work.finally, on the 2nd of February, a tea to the working class was given in the Jeffery Hale School ; two hundred and forty men, women and children of all ages sat down at ouce, doing full justice to the good thinsrs provided.After the-tables were cleared a short programme of music, readings, and two very appropriate addresses by the Rev.W.T.Noble and Mr.Distin wound up an enjoyable evening to all concerned.Having thus reviewed the routine work of the L nion for the last year, there are some other items, a little outside of the ordinary work, which yet deserve notice, such as the efforts made by some of the members of this Union, who are alio Provincial officers, to se- cure the passage of a Bill prohibiting tho sale or gift of tobacco to minors, or its use by them in public places.Only mothers (and probably teachers) know of the harm being done to their boys and alas | almi, iu some cases, to their girls, by tho use of tobacco, especially in the present popular cigarette form, containing opium as well as tobacco.Yet, Mr.Cooke's- Bill having passed sue cessfully its three readings in the Lower House, was thrown out in the Council.But we may at least hope that some of these gentlemen will modify their views beforenext session, when the Woman's Christian Temperance Union hopes again to urge its right to protect the youth of this Province in the same way as those of most of the other Pro-vtuces are already protected.We had indeed believed that when His Eminence Cardinal laschereau had so emphatically supported our petition, that his authority and his experience would have placed the matter beyond question.There only remains to bo mentioned the passage of Mr.Normand\u2019s motion declaring 4 per cent lager beer uuintoxicatiug, to show that our need of more earnest prayer and faithful work during the coming year were never greater.Though death has entered tho homes of many, we are thankful that no member has been taken from us this year.Our sincere thank are clue to more friends than ever before.First to the Y.M.C.A.and to the Trustees of the Methodist Church, f ?^,e \"'\u2022 U A.for tho use of their buildings, and to Mr.Bonham for the use of the Jeffery Hale School, to the

Excellency acted in a frann and constitutional manner in dealing with this question.The Opposition oould hot contend that np to tne present any hidden policy had been pursued.Every step taken had beet! laid before Parliament with the reasons therefor, and he was satisfied that public opinion would commend tho action of theGovernment when thentatter was finally settled, and he was sure that he echoed the sentiments of the Roman Catholics in every Province of the Dominion, when he hoped that settlement would result in a condition of affairs in Manitoba similar to that which now exists in the Province of Quebec.Mr.Brodeur followed in French.Hon.Mr.Daley spoke for over an hour.His speech was a strong argument in favor of the position taken by the Government on the question of referring the

ADDRESS TROM THE CONSERVATIVE SENATORS AND MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.Ôîtawm, March 8.\u2014Sir John Thompson, on tho occasion of his departure for Europe, was presented with the following address tnis afternoon :\u2014 To the Hon.Sir John Thompson, Minister qf Justice and Premier qf Canada Sir,\u2014The members of the Senate and House of Commons supporting the pTesefit Adminiatmiion\u2019, take advantage of yollr departure for Paris to unite in expressing their cordial wishes fot a eafe aud speedy voyage.The mission you have been entrusted with is on* which not only confers responsibility and honor upon yon, bnt gives assurance to Canada in the most signal manner of aa full a measure of independent and uncontrolled action in affairs interesting though external to herself, as any part of the Empire could reasonably desire.In the appointment of 3ir John Macdonald as one of the Joint High Commissioners to negotiate the Washington treaty Of 1871, the appointment of Sir Alexander Galt and Sir Charles Tapper to negotiate trade relations with France ^id Spain, the appoiht-ment of Sir Charles Tupper to negotiate the last treaty of Washington, aud iu yOnr own appointment in behalf of Great Britain in the pending international arbitration, we Welcome sncoossive acts of recognition by Great Britain of the wisdom and justice of Canada being given as full a measure of responsibility and control in relation to foreign countries as is consistent with her auxiliary relation to tho Mother Country and with the interesta and engagements of the Empire.The judicial status attached to your position aa arbitrator prevents us from expressing any derided views as to the course and results of the arbitration.We may, however, consider ourselves free to sav that the industry, the ability, the eminently judicial character yon have displayed in public life and the success with which you have conducted the business of the Dominion and borne the many and great responsibilities which have devolved upon you since the death of Sir John Macdonald and the retirement of Sir John Abbott, give us the most perfect assurance that the duties of the high position to which yon are presently called, Will be discharged in a manner honorable alike to you aifd to Canada, While we cartmU fedt feel deep regret at yortt enforden departure during the session of Patliament, we desire to assure you of our unfaltering devotion in your absence to the cause of which you have proved yourself sdeh an able and faithful exponent.We wish yod and Lady Thompson an agreeable and prosperous journey und a safe return to a Country whére public confidence always awdits you.In replying to the address, Sir John Thompson thanked them for th4ir Unswerving loyaitjf.He said that only a very urgent call of duty would take him away just now.But, he added, it was a call of duty in connection with the whole Empire and of the deepest interest tolall.Canada H&dbeengiven the oppoitanity of being represented in a great international tribunal.It was satisfaciojy to notice that whatever the result might be, Great Britain and the United States had done a great deal in the interests of peace by settling by debakp what formerly would have been settled by the cannon and bayonBt.He left Canada assured thdt his Government wonid not neglect its interests.Col.Saunderson and Mr.Redmond.The New York World says \u2014Gdl.Éd^rard James Sauuderson has been termed the fighting paladin of the Orange party.He is a tall, well-made, good-looking, dashing man of fifty-six and his face is one of the most striking iu the House of Commons, which he first entered as a member for Cavan, iu 1866.It has been said of him that, \u201cproperly capar-aoned, he would lend himself .readily to a counterfeit presentment of Don Quixote,\u201d aud that \u201che is distinctly a fighter and never rises in the House but With the definite object of tilting at the windmill of Irish rhetoric.\u201d On the Second day of the present session of Parliament he caused an uproar by speaking of Father McFadden os \u201cthis murderous ruffian,\u201d words which he afterwards retracted at Mr.Balfour s request, substituting \u201cexcited politician.^ April 16, 1887, Col.Saunderson precipitated a very bitter debate in the Commons by accusing the Irish National League of being \u201c a criminal conspiracy established for the purpose of carrying out a criminal object, while it is mainly supported by traitor*, murderers, dynamiters ami cruninals on the other side of the Atlantic.\u201d Messrs.Sexton and Healy, resenting charges made in the speech of \u201c associating with men they knew to be murderers,\u201d called Col.Saunderson in plain English a liar, Mr.Sexton using the words \u201c a wilful and cowardly liar,\u201d adding : \u201c If I met you outside the doors of this House I would \u201d\u2014\u2014\u2022 The threat was lost in the confusion which ensued.After repeated warnings from the Speaker Col.Saunderson finally withdrew the expressions which were deemed unparliamentary.It haa been reported that Col.Saunderson is a native Scotchman, but the Parliamentary Companion says he was born at Castle Sann-derson, Belturbet, County Cavan, in Ulster.William H.K.Redmond and his brother, John E., are two of the fiery young orators of the Irish party.The Redmonds Belong to an old Anglo-Norman family of the gentry class which has been settled in Wexford since the English invasion.Their father was a well-known public man, who represented Wexford in Parliament from the days of O\u2019Connell down to a recent period, and was very popular.William Redmond is a fluent speaker.In 1880 he was tried and convicted at Arthurs-town for offenses under the Crimes act and sentenced to three months\u2019 imprisonment without hard labor.He accompanied Michael Davitt in a tour of this country m 1882, was here again with his brother John on their return from Australia in 1883 and he accompanied- Thomas Hexton as representative of the Irish League to the Boston Convention in 1884.Longevity of Trees.Iu the Eastern States trees do not live over 300 years at most, even under the most favorable circumstances\u2014the climalic conditions being unfavorable to longevity.Il the old world, however, and especially in England, most trees live to a great age.The yew and the English oak are familiar examples\u20141,000 years seem to be nothing to these trees.The Gardeners\u2019 Chronicle states that the sweet or, as we call it, the Spanish chestnut, also lives long, and it gives a sketch of one, which was quite a large tree, iu the reign of King Stephen, that is to say, 1135.We doubt whether any specimen of the Spanish chestnut would remain particularly healthy long over 100 years in our climate.\u2014Meehans' Monthly.The Man for the Job.First Artist\u2014\u201cWell, old man, how\u2019s business ?\u201d Second Artist

diplomats, most o\\ them arrayed in splendid uniforms blazing with gold lacb and covered with decorations.Then came some of the Ministers, all of whom were in Privy Councillors\u2019 uniform, and who knelt and kisseff the Queen\u2019s hands.Next came the entree company, headed by the Primate and Mrs Benson, who wers followed by Lady Salisbury and Lady Gwendrtlfe Cecil.The Queen .at doyVn dlrectlV she had received tfio Corps Diplomatique aud remained in the Throne-room for a fewof the ordifl-Ary presentations, the bulk of which were taken by Princess Christian.The wife and daughter of the Chinese Minister, who were sumptuously dressed were allowed to remain in the Throne-room, seated on a bench covered with scarlet cloth, which the Queen ordered to be placed for them.It was an enormous Drawing room, aud there was the usual crushing and wrangling at the barriers, but thecarriagearrangements forgetting away were excellent.DUKE OF NEWCASTLE GOING ROUND THE WOttLtb -The Duke and Duéhess of Newcastle are to start on a voyage round the world àbdut thé middle of ne*t month, and will be away from England fôr a yéar.They are going first to America, and will stay several months in the United Slates and Canada.THE GENTLEMAN USHER OF THE BLACK ROD, Admiral Sir James Drummond* who sue ceeded the late General »*.>\t\\\\ illiam knollys as Gentlenlan Usher Uf the Black Bod in 1883, is about to resign that office in con-sequence of the precarious state of his health.The Queen herself appoints to this place, which in future will be worth £1,000 or £1,200 a year.At present the salary is £2,000 a year, with a.capital house in the Royal Court of the Palace of Westminster ; bdt, iti accordance with thé reconimendatibn of a committee of the House of Lords, the emolument is to bo reduced, and the residence in future will be devoted to another purpose.When Sir Augustas Clifford held office\u2014he was appointed by William the Fourth in 1832, and retained his place until his death in 1877\u2014payment was by fees, and averaged about £7,000 a year.The post will probably be offered to Sir Spencer Ponsonby-Fane.SOCIAL OAYETY OF THE PILGRIMS IN ROME.The pilgrims at Rome for the Pope\u2019s jubilee did not give all their days and nights to piety.The reception given at the Hotel de Rome by the Duke of Norfolk was in every way a success, but the Italian papers, in estimating with some awe that it must have cost £2,000, are at least doubling the actual figures.Even more brilliant, because more cosmopolitan, was the reception given by Cardinal Vaughan at the English College, where the large rooms were crowded by Italian as well as English guests.All the Roman notables were there who avoid the Qttiriual, and whose wives pass the Queen on the Princio without bowing, and these included such historic names as those of the Barberini, Massimo, Altieri and Lancellotti.Besides these secular princes were seven E rinces of the Church, including Cardinal ogue, who has been much thrown in contact with the English Cardinal to whom Home Rule is a vain and foolish invention.Nearly all the ambassadors to the Vatican were present, as well as the Patriarch, envoy of the Sultan.Lady Denbigh helped the Cardinal to receive, and many noble Roman matrons wore magnificent jewels, fhe other evening receptions included one given to the pilgrims by the Circolo San Pietro, and another on a more limited scale given at the Hotel Bristol by Mr.and Mrs.Granville Ward.\"^Another Fad in New York.The millionaires of New York have a new fad and there are great days in the future tor variety stars.Dining and vaudeville go together now.The many fair friends of Messrs.Lispenard Stewart and A.Lanfear Norrie who attended their dinner-vaudeville entertainment lost night at Delmonico\u2019s were apparently attired to match the flowers so profusely displayed.There were pretty white Empire gowns with huge puffed sleeves, in rose or yellow velvet, and pale pink ones with white rufflings, and others of pink and corn color combined, and a few still prettier, all white, with gauzy rufflings aud pearl network.There was just here and there a dash of blue to give tone, as it were.Mrs.Frank 8.Witlierbee, Mrs.William Rhinelander Stewart and two other ladies received.Dinner was served at 8 o\u2019clock, and the guests were seated at twelve round tables in the ball-room.Eight covers were laid at each table, and in the centre of each was a silver candelabra.Four of these were surrounded at the base with bride roses and lilies of the valley, arran^e/il io a wide wreath directly on the tabic.White silk shades were on the oamlles.Yellow Maréchal Niel roses and narcissi of the same hue were wreathed on foq*- other tables, and the remainder werydrimmed in similar fashion with pink mermet roses combined with mignonette At the conclusion of the dinner it took but a very Short time to remove the round tables from the ball-room.In the meanwhile the ladies and gentlemen sipped their coffee and chatted in the outer salotta* while the ballroom was aVrattgcd with chairs for the vaudeville.The stage on the Twenty-sixth street side was dressed with palms in a way that suggested a bower.Those banked across the Itage in front Were threaded with electric lights, producing a novel and picturesque effect inthe way of footlights.Mr.S.G.Derry Of Pr«Tideaee»
