suburb of Berlin.The meeting was to have been held to-day, but the police having in mind the origin of the serious riots of 1892, determined to arrest Rodrian, thinking that if he was locked up the meeting would not be held, consequently he was taken into custody last night.The news of his airest quickly spread and quite a number of men proceeded to the police station where the crowd growled\"^ what they termed arbitrary force.The police ordered them to disperse, but were met with jeers and flat refusal to obey the order.Finding that moderate measures would not suffice to disperse the crowd, orders were given to the police to draw their swords and charge the rioters.The order was at once obeyed and tho crowd broke and scattered in every direction.Several times afterwards the mob attempted to gather, but the police were vigilant and prevented them.Conflicts were of frequent occurrence and many of the rioters were hurt, though none seriously.Several arrests of the most disorderly of the rioters have been made.The authorities, fearing that there might be troyble at Friedrichshain, ordered mounted police there to scour the streets and prevent any asscmbl-iges on them whatever.A knot of men would gather and the police would order them to disperse.It is evident that the police think the situation threatening.Count Stillfried, Chief of the Criminal Police, is personally «iireciing the entire force, which includes the re.*-cr\\es, who have been called out.It is feared that there will be serious disorders to night, as tho mob seems to be iu a fighting m>>od.The Prussian Budget was

remembered that in the year 1879 an article appeared in the BayrtiUhcr Blatter entitled \u2018'Concerning Schumann\u2019s Music,\u2019 signed Joseph Rubinstein, but (ibis is an open secret) unquestionably inspired, and probably more than surprised, by no less a man than Richard Wagner.The style, the tone, as well os the inconsiderate audacity with which the writer hurled forth his taunts, the public recognized as truly Wagnerian, and promptly designated the Bayreuth master as the one who must bear the responsibility of its authorship, in spite of the fact that he had attempted to disguise himself by simpler constructions than those which we recognize in his public writings.In this incredible production Schumann\u2019s art is by ail possible and impossible means reduced ad absurtlum.Not a shred of honor is left to it.The very greatest qualities of the master\u2014his glowing fancy and his lofty lyrical flights\u2014are dragse4.\td«c2l Tremendous Bargains IN MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, Before taking the Inventory, which will begin on The First of February January 18.QÔË8EC.FRIOTyT JAN.19,1894.THE TALK OF THE DAY.Some years ago, when the Canadian Monthly was in its prune, and editorially controlled by Dr.G old win Smith, Dr.Bockinot published a most valuable se ries of papers in it, entitled \u201cThe Intellectual Development of Canada.\u201d The learned Doctor traced the growth of our literature from its small beginnings, in an exceedingly entertaining way, and l>eing an old newspaper man himself, he did not forget to say a good word or two for the press of the Dominion.And no man in Canada is more competent to speak of these things than he.Last May, as President of the Royal Society, Dr.Bockinot l'end a very able ,paper, at a public meeting in Ottawa, on \u201cOur Intellectual Strength and Weakness.\u201d The paper was immediately ordered to be printed in the Transactions of the Society.It is so good, however, that the author\u2019s friends have prevailed on him to publish an edition of the paper in a single volume, and with the appendix it makes a most useful publication, and is a distinct contribution to the literature of thii country.Not a name of note is missing.The volume, as its title indicates, is a comprehensive survey of the progress of art, letters and education in Canada, and is most appropriately dedicated to Sir William Dawson, of Montreal, and Mgr.Hamel, of Laval University, Quebec, two gentlemen of high reputation in their several departments of learning, and both ex-Presidents of the Royal Society.Dr.Boubinot\u2019s fascinating literary style was never put to better use than on the present occasion, when he points out our merits as well as our defects.The story he tells, H, on the .whole, exceedingly encouraging.He explains why our mental progress has not been as rapid as it might be, and, like ourselves, he sees great possibilities in the future.Canada has not done badly since Darcy McGee delivered his scholarly address on the \u201cMental outfit of the new Dominion,\u201d\u2014a very short time before his death.A good many Canadian men and women have developed into authors, and the best magazines of the old and new world have eagerly sought contributions from their pens.Dr.Bockinot himself is a voluminous contributor tulUack-irood, the Quarterly, the Scottish Herieu\\ Westminster Herie\"\\ the Magazine of American History, and the publications of the Americau Histoi^cal Association, and Johns Hopkins University.His great work on the Practice and Procedure of Parliament is a Colonial classic, while his smajjer works on constitutional history are quoted with approval by the best minds of our day.In the monograph before us, Dr.Bockinot does a most creditable thing for Canada.He shows the world what our literary out-put is, and he devotes close attention to both French and English writers.The appendix is really a marvel of erudition, for not a l ook of even tri-fli g import is omitted from the list.He divides his work into ten sections, and traces the evolution of our letters from eaily times to the present year.The work is enjoyable as a pb ce of literature.It is valuable as an historical cjntome of what the intellectual workers of the Dominion have done and are doing.Such a book ought to have an honored place in every public and private library in Canada.It is a strong presentation of a most interesting aud instructive subject.PrlneeM map's Teani.The horses for the Duchess of York, the gift of the ladies Of Canada, have been purchased in Brampton, Ontario.They are brown geldings, 6 years old, standing 16 hands high and of royal breeding.They are magnificent limbed animals and without a pimple, while their conformation is flawless.They carry beautiful, fine, high heads on superb arched necks.Their style is of rare quality and most fascinating.He Wou the Case.Sir John Thompson\u2019s earliest appearance at the bar was at Halifax in a libel soit.A {[rocer had been selling liquor without a iceose, and & temperance paper, known as the Abutainer, had attacked him bitterly in consequence.Mr.W.A.Henry, afterwards one of the Judges of the Supreme Court, appeared with another celebrated counsel for the grocer, Vho was suing for damages, and Mr.Thompson represented the Abstainer.The jury was out four hours and gave a verdict for the defence on a vote of seven to two.¦aw It Is Dome at Ottawa.At Lord Aberdeen\u2019s first Slate dinner there were forty guests.The function was held in the Rideau Hall ball-room, which made a handsome dining room.Before dinner was announced Lady Marjorie, a pretty girl of thirteen, presented each of the gentlemen with a boutonniere of sweet English violets.The two boys, the Hon.Archie and the Hon.Dudley Gordon, acted as train-bearers to Lady Aberdeen and stood behind her chair for the greater part of the dinner.Everything is done in excellent style by the leaders of society at Ottawa.When, for instance, HU Excellency drives out he is driven by postilions, a species of servants nevA* before seen at the capital.mriuU Next# The Coüncil of the Toronto Board of Trade has adopted the following important tariff reform motion : That inasmuen as it would largely encourage the development of the iron manufacturing industries of this Province, and whereas it has come to the knowledge of this Council that there is about to be established in Hamilton, smelting works which must be largely dependent upon free coke for its success, this Council would strongly recommend that the Dominion Government ad mit free of duty all coke required for manufacturing purposes ; and they would further recommend that whatever machinery U required for the establishment and development of smelting works; which cannot be produced in this country, should also be admitted frefi of duty.The Kid Glove BeUxre.* WHAT 13 SAID ABOUT IT IN TORONTO.{Montreal Witness )' The

subscriber the Mail has received a request for the biblical definition of the word temperance.\u201d The word occurs in Galatians v., 23, the passage, which is hardly a definition, being os follows : \u201cBut the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, loug-suffer-ing, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance : against such there is no law.\u201d Dr.Adam Clarke, in his commentary, in referring to the word \u201ctemperance,\u201d says it means \u201ccontinence, self-government, or moderation, principally with regard to sensual or animal appetites ; moderation in eating, drinking, sleeping, Ac.\u201d He says further that \u201cthose whose lives are adorned by the above virtues cannot be condemned by any law.\u201d\u2014Toronto Mail.The Late Mr.Wadrilugton.[Ottaiva Journal.) It is, perhaps, worthy of mention, said Mr.Henry J Morgan to The Journal to-day, that the late William Henry Waddington, formerly French Ambassador to the Court of St.James, who has just died at Paris, belonged to the same family as the late Mr.Alfred Waddington, the projector of the Canadian Pacific Railway, who died in Ottawa of smallpox in the seventies and is buried in Hull churchyard.I was present at ilie funeral of the unfortuaate gentleman and have often recalled a remark made by one of the mourners on the occasion,\u2014that tho C.P.R., which was the bright and coustant dream of the old man\u2019s life, would some day cross his feet and in after years serve as his moat enduring monument,\u2014a prophetic utterance which came to be realized not many years afterwards.The distinguished French statesman always evinced a warm interest in Canadian affairs, doubtless, .in consequence of his having been the school-fellow and companion for some years of one of the most estimable of our public men, Hon.Henri Gustave Joly de Lotbinicre.They attended the same school at Paris, and were always, as I have been informed, close friends.Young Joly came to Canada with his father, the late Gaspard Joly, the courtly Seigneur of Lotbiniere, studied lau in Quebec, aud finally entered public life.Waddington had likewise after completing Ids education at Cambridge, entered the political field in his native country.Whether the friends corresponded with each other I am unable to say, but I believe they did not again meet together until well advanced in years.When they did meet, which was at Paris, shortly after the war, (Mr.Joly hav.ing gone there at that time on a public mission from his Province), the occasion, as we may readily believe, served for the exchange of mutual elicitations and congratulations Until had meanwhileaitained happiness and success^u their respective spheres of duty -one being, at the moment, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the French

Dr.Mackay, Uelmûut\tor at OH/\t8 VaiatfeUiA.the seizure of Perrin Frere A Cie.\u2019s fine French kid gloves, learned that actioii was taken in consequence of complaints made by the wholesale glove trade of Montreal aud Toronto, to the Financial Inspector of Cus toms, Toronto.The complaint was that the Perrin goods were being sold at much lower prices than the importers conld import similar grades.The officers set to work in Montreal, went carefully and fully into the matter, ami discovered that Messrs.Perrin\u2019s gloves were entered at the Customs at about fifty per cent lower than the prices placed by other firms on the same grade of goods.This was traced back and found to have been the case for a long Eeriod.It was further learned that Perrin ad been fined heavily twice, at New York, for entering gloves below their value, within the last year.Montreal officers were instructed to seize the next consignment, which they did on Saturday.The consignment amounts to two thousand dollars.The goods were appraised by the experts as worth twice the value placed on them.A civil suit is quite probable against Montreal agents of the Perrins, for all the entries alleged to have been contrary to customs regulations by the Department of Customs.The Perrins\u2019 agents had almost captured the entire glove trade of Canada in certain grades, hence tho importance to the trade of the action of the Customs authorities.In reference to the glove seizure Mr.Laurencell, the manager in Montreal for Messrs.Perrin, Frcres A Cie., says that the matter is not yet settled.The vaine of the goods seized was deposited with the Customs pending investigation, at the firm required the merchandise at once to supply their customers.The firm, he says, in no way admits that the.se gloves have been imported into Canada at an undervaluation, and this, he hopes yet to be able to prove to the satisfaction of the Customs authorities.things are advancing with satisfactory rapidity.The towefa of the Ice Fortres* shot up quite quickly yesterday, and the beautifiil pale greenish hue of the blocks of ice, of which the structure is composed, was very much admired.It promises to be very handsome when completed.Hon.Mr.Joly de Lotbiniere visited it yesterday and appeared very much satisfied with the progress being made by Mr.Cummings and his men.He believes however, and so does the Chronicle, that it will not do to leave open the side facing the Esplanade, so os to expose to view the Ugly wooden scaffolding of the interior upon which the defending force will send off their fires, Ac.Though it will add to the cost, there should be another wall on that side, even if it is of thinner ice and onlv high enough to conceal the unsightly scaffolding.LEVIS AND THE FERRY.We are given to understand that the people of Levis are quite anxious to know what decision the Ferry Company has arrived at about running at night.Thousands of people will undoubtedly cross to the city if they can get back at night.Hotels and lodging houses on the other side of the river are all deeply interested in special night tripe of the boats daring Carnival week.Everybody hopes that th# obliging management of this Com-pauv will do the right thing for the Carnival From this out there can be no risk nor danger about night crossings of the boats.But the public should be officially informed of the Company\u2019s decision and intentions in the matter.W HAT THS CITY IS DolXd.L'Evénement and other newspapers that Were complaining most bitterly of the condition of the city stteeu in view of the near approach of the Carnival, are applauding the active measures taken by the pouce and Road Committee within the last few days upon the Gfthde A1W« and other leading thoroughfares.There hafl Certainly been considerable improvement but much remain» to be done.Everybody is admiring the ingenious piling up of the snow banks and centre mound in the Rink and Place d\u2019Armes.I» has a clean and pretty effect and has the merit of not being very costly.The Road Committee has ho ftinda to throw away; but this is an inexpensive arid attractive tneata» of disposing of the suberabundance of snow thereabout».The Corporation intends to illaminatc the municipal buildings and Pufferin Terraco daring Carnival week, and it is proposed too, to have the wonl \u201cCarnival\u201d in very large letters composed of gas jets on the face of the rock on the city front facing Levis.THE PROPOSED GRANT FROM THE CITY.Hon.H.G.Joly de Lotbiniere appeared before the Finance Committee of the City Corporation yesterday afternoon and urged the subscription on the part of the city of $1,000 towards the Carnival.He spoke of the advantages that are expected to accrue to the place from the Carnival and of the large nttmber of people expected here, concluding that it \\tddld be too bad to make a failure tohere so much had beeh ptomised and spoken of, but indicating that the Committee was very short of money.Alderman Robi taille, who presided at the Committee in the ab sence through illness of Hon.John Hearn, assured Mr.Joly of the sympathy of the Committee; but spoke of the difficulties of the civic finanoial situation atid said the Committee would discuss the matter and do for the best.After Mr.Joly\u2019s departure, the formal demand of the Executive of the Car-, nival Committee, backed up by the Preai-dent, personally, as already related, was taken into serious consideration.There were present : Mayor Fremont, Alderman Robi-taille (Chairman), and Aldermen and Councillor» Johnston, Kirouac, Fitzpatrick, M.P.P., Chambers, Parent, M.P.P.Duchaine, Thibau-Jeau, Delisle and Paquet.After considerable discussion, it was Anally resolved on division, that a sub committee consisting of the Mayor, chairman,^ City Treasurer, and Messrs.Johnston and Klronao be asked to consider and report whence the necessary fnnds could be taken for this vote.An answer is expected in a few days conformably to the instruotious of the Committee.'E HAYE DECIDED TO OFFER FOR \"WEIHJKZS OÜSrX/NT I -FROM THIS DATE,- Our Well Known Stock of the Very Best Glass of Dry Goods Imported, at the

evening, declared that the Home army was the weakest point in the service.All the colonies could be made invulnerable by the use of expeditionary forces, with the exception of Canada, whose defence against the United SUtes in case of war between that nation and Great Britain, would bo impossible.Happily the United States is essentially peaceful, and against all other powers Canada is absolutely impregnable.Lieut.-General George Tomkyns Chesney, C.B., the author of \u201cThe Battle of Dorking,\u201d was educated at Woolwich, aud joined the Bengal Engineers in 1848.Ho was Lieutenant iu 1834,

snow-shoe clubs will muster iu the Drill Hall and nusrch two deep to the square in front of yhe Parliament Buildings where they will be massed.Hostilities wm be opened by the defenders of the fort and amid a grand discharge of fireworks the snow-shoers will divide into two bodies, the front rank attacking the detached tower to the right and the rear rank that to the left.The snow contractors are dumping snow in the ditch opposite each of these towers to enable the snow-shoers to climb up.The outlying towers being captured, both divisions will march on to the main building, where they will unite, and leaving the fortifications march through Grande Alice as far as the Drill Hall, where they will counter march.The garrison of the fort will consist of 150 men of the R.C.A , with two Éuns and probably a detachment of the lighth Royal Rifles.The Commandant offered to turn out his men armed with rifles, but the Committee thought it would be too much to ask them to carry their arms along the line of march, so they will simply be provided with Roman candles.TUE N.Y.\u201cSUN\u201d ON THE CARNIVAL.The N.Y.Sun recently published the following reference to the Carnival :\u2014 \u201cThe

Theatre the members of the Shakespeare Reading Society are carry-ing out their promise to play \u201cMeasure for Measure\u201d with some resemblance to the conditions that prevailed when the series of works that are the glory of our dramatic literature were penned.To give these plays exactly as they are supposed to have been then given would be almost impossible, even if any educational benefit or satisfactory entertainment could be thereby furnished.For instance, no one would care ta see the female characters played by boys, while the fickle-ness of the climate prevents performances open to the sky save in settled summer wea;her.Nearly all that can be done to afford some idea of the way in which a Shakespearean play was given in the poet\u2019s lifetime has been accomplished.The limited stage of the Royalty was increased by a platform thrown forward even with the private boxes.Elizabethan costumes were employed throughout, scenery was dispensed with, and groups of spectators in jecktns, some with long boots and some with woolen hose, curiously hilred swords, and divers shaped hats (not doffed) and stiff ruffs, were mute spectators of the action gone through by their fellows.A few of these \u201cgallants\u201d seated on stools smoked pipes, some of w hich were stated to be original \u201cclays\u201d of the sixteenth century.The theatre was supposed to be the Fortune, and at the side of the stage were balconies in which sat ladies masked, while the musicians were below.The performance took place before simple drapery, a portion of the stage being covered, and having a balcony in the rear.Thiscovcred portion could be shut by curtains, and when this was done the actors stepped to the front thereof and continued the action.Only by this means was an important change of locale noted, scene following scene without appreciable interval, so that there was no division into acts.When the spectators were seated, two performers came on and delivered an introduction written bv Mr.Arthur Dillon.|lnit as no copy of this was apparently obtainable, and as there was a little confasion respecting what was meant by the same, we may be excused further reference thereto.Far from conducive to enjoyment of the play was the extraordinary pace at which two or three members of the society recited their lines.In a small pamphlet by Mr.Dillon, entitled \u201cThe Stage of the Sixteenth Century,\u201d something was said about the \u201ctwo hours\u2019 traffic\" of the boards, and it certainly seemed as though the performers were anxious to get through their work as quickly as possible Amou^g the few who on Thursday spoke with clearness and some approach to elocutionary ability were the representatives of the Duke, of Isabella, and of Eacalns, but no names were appended to the list of characters on the programme.Following the ancient practice, the performance closed with a prayer for the Sovereign._____________________ \\VheE the last words of

parade of the varions Snow-Shoe Quebec and Levis, on invitation of the Quebec Snow-Shoe Club, took place last night, the snow-sboers assembling in uniform at ihe Drill Hall and marching through the prin cipal streets of the city, being subsequently entertained by the Quebec Club to a supper at the Gymnasium.There were fully 400snow-shoers in the procession and they made a splendid appearance in their variously colored blanket coats.The procession was headed by the band of the Quenec Club, consisting of three pipers, eight drummers and one bass drum, while the Union Commerciale Club was accompanied by a splendid set of buglers.About forty members of the Levis Club crosse.i from the other sidn of the river by the 7.15p.m.boat au.I returned at midnight.The Clubs represented outside of the Quebec were the Union Commerciale, the Canadien, the Montagnais, the Levis, the Huron and the Voltigeurs.Immense crowds of people thronged the streets.Finance Committee Meeting.\u2014An im WE HAVE

entirely run out of funds, not only on account, so it declares, of insufficient appropriations, but also because of the largely increased expenditure that has followed ihe unusually heavy snow falls of the pre sent winter.Councillor Parent supported his Committee's dpinand in strong language and with details of expenditure and requirements.The Chairman, Mayor and City Treasurer pointed out that there was r.o more money to appropriate.Everybody asked what was to be done.The works under the control of the Road Committee cannot be suspended, or vyell-grounded actions of damages against the city
