Halloo 1\u2019 into the mouthpiece, ran the paper back over the steel poiut, and heard a faint \u2018Halloo ! Halloo !\u2019 in return.\u201cI determined to make a machine that would work accurately, arid gave my assistants instruction, telling them what I had discovered.They laughed at me.'1 hat\u2019s the whole story.The phonograph is the result of ihe pricking of a finger.\u201d It is one thing to hit upon an idea, however, and another thing to carry it out to perfection.The machine would talk, but like many young children, it had difficulty with certain sounds\u2014in the present case with aspirants and sibilants.Air.E lisiu\u2019s biographers say, but the statement is somewhat exaggerated : \u2018Tie has fiequently spent from fifteen to twenty hours daily, for six or seveu months on a stretch, dinning the word \u2018Sp.\u2019zia,\u2019 for example, intothestubbornsurface o! the wax.\u2018Spezia,\u2019 roared the inventor\u2014\u2018Pezia,\u2019 lisped the phonograph in tones of ladylike reserve, and so on through thousands of graded repetition?, till the desired results were obtained \u201cThe primary education of the phonograph was comical in the extreme.To hear those grave and reverend signors, rich in scientific honors, patiently reiterating : Mary had a little lamb, A little lamb, lamb, lamb, and elaborating that point with anxious gravity, was to receive a practical demonstration of the \u2018eternal unfitness of things.\u2019 \u201d THE GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY.THE CANADIAN COPYRIGHT BILL.EMPEROR WILLIAM\u2019S DECREE.QUEEN VICTORIA AT NICE.The Spanish-United States Difficulty\u2014A South American War Threatened\u2014 Widespread Famine in Eastern Africa - The Japanese-United States Treaty.GREAT BRITAIN.London, March 2Ï\u2014A conference of Grand Trunk bondholders was held to-day, Mr.Gladstone presiding.It was resolved that : \u201cSince Sir Henry Tyler\u2019s management had brought the Company into a disastrous position and owin£ to the suppression of import' am matters which onght to have been communicated to the shareholders, confidence could no longer be placed in his management.\u201d Tbe meeting pledged itself to endeavor to secure a change.A committee was formed to notify the shareholders and obtain their opinion at lbs next semi-annual meeting.The Central News correspondent in Madrid says :\u2014\u201cThe leading politicians here are not inclioed to the idea of letting the \u201cAlleocia\u201d affair result in a serious difference between Spain and the United States.The .matter oitght to be adjusted easily, unless the United States insists upon demands injurious to Spain\u2019s dignity.Spain is most anxious to maintain the friendship of the two nations and would even prefer to wcfvc an overdose investigation and accept the Washington view Some of the leading journals argue on this point with a view to preventing public indignation in case the Government yield to the United Slates.\u201d The Standard's Madrid correspondent says :\u2014\u201cThe Liberal leaders have informed Senor Sagasta that they are willing to support him in forming , a Cabinet to pass the budget and bills which must be passed before the end of June, but only on condition that they will not be expected to exercise pressure on Parliament to alter press laws.\u201d AParliamenta-y bye-election was held in East Bristol to-day, to fill the seat left vacant by the death of Sir Joseph Weston, Liberal.Mr.W.H.Willis, Liberal, was returned.The T^meswill publish to morrow a letter from Mr.Lancefield, who has charge of the public library in Hamilton, Ont.He writes under date of March 9th.He replies to the letter which Chairman Conway, of the Committee of the Society of Authors, wrote to the Times in February, denouncing the Canadian copyright.Mr.Lancefield says :\u2014 \u201cI suggest that our English friends be perfectly fair in the statements they make to the press in this controversy.When Air.Conway says \u2018Canadian reprints will flood the United States market\u2019 and calls for the signature of the petition largely cu that account, it is an opsu question whether every signature secured is not secured un 1er false pretences.\u201d The Daily News correspondent in Berlin says \u201cOa April 1, 1385, seven septuagenarians in a village of Wurtemberg telegraphed congratulations to Prince Bismarck.In reply the Prince asked that they repeat the despatch when he should celebrate his 80th birthday.The four survivors have now telegraphed to the Prince and he has replied thanking them.\u2018But,\u2019 he adds, T have not the courage to bind myself for auother ten years.\u2019\u201d IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.HOUS fl OF COMMONS.GERMANY.Berlin, March 21\u2014The Emperor and his sons, Princes Etal and Adalbert, will be accompanied on their visit to Friedrichsruhe, March 28, by a suite of 25 persons.Prince Hohenlohe and the members of the Imperial, civil and military households will accompany the Kaiser.The Rcichsenzeiqer will publish to-morrow the Emperor\u2019s decree to the Chancellor, ordering, in honor of the memory of his grand* father, Emperor William I, that henceforth pensions shall be paid to all old warriors and officers, surgeons and other officials taking part in the war of 1870, who were wounded or are now in reduced circumstances.The decree instructs the Chancellor to draft a bill putting its terms into effect and to introduce it in the Buudesrath and Reichstag.The Stage a Hundred Years Ago.Though Mr.Irving has been lately telling us the stage, as regards its treatment by the public, is capable of much improvement, there is no calling which has taken such leaps and bounds of late years IN THE WAY OF APPRECIATION.The liberties which were in old times taken with actors and actresses by the public and the press were beyond belief, says Mr.James Payn iu the Illustrated London News.Not coûtent with apportioning to them blame or praise, the newspapers actually suggested what their particular services were worth.\u201cThe high demands made by some actresses,\u201d observes the Times of exactly a hundred years ago, \u201care so exorbitant that we trust they will net be complied with.Mrs.Jordan and Storace have demanded\u2014the first £30.and the latter £20, a night.Much as we admire the abilities of eachon the stage, yet we know from experience that the higher the sa laries of some performers are, the more they are prone lo disrespect the public and to give themselves insufferable airs.\u201d A fortnight afterwards it informs the world that \u201cMrs.Jordan has at lust condescended to descend to her former situa^on at her former salary.\u201d Five years previously (in 1789) the Morning Post was so good as to express the opinion that this actress was underpaid\u2014\u201cItissaid that Mrs.Jordan has but £G a w eek.Who will venture to say.considering the present attraction of her talent, this is an inadequate recompense ?\u201d The theatrical gossip.WAS CERTAINLY MORE PERSONAL than anything of the same kind nowadays\u2014 \u201cMis.Jordan and Kemble.accordingto greenroom report, are not upon the.most amicable footing- It is supposed that the lady takes advantages of her popularity to be ill when she phases, and has refused to perforin in a farce when Airs.Siddons appears in the play, and for this modest reason\u2014that she will not till the house and let Mrs.Siddons run away w ith the reputation of it.\u201d A Horrible Revenge.\u2018Yes,\u201d said the man who travels a great deal, \u201ctry interview with highwaymen in the West cost me some money.But I believe I got even with the villains.\u201d \u201cHow?\u201d \u201cI let them rob me of some moonshine whiskey that was presented to me in Tennessee.\u2019\u2014Washington Star.J.!.Macadam, the illustrious Scotchman, who invented the kind of paving which bears his name, is said to have been a guest at a large dinner given in honour of Sir Walter Scott.Being asked to respond to a teast, Mr.Macadam rose, and at the end 6f his speech proposed the health of \u201cThe great Sir Walter Scott, the Colossus of literature !\u201d In an instant Sir Walter was on his feet, and, lifting his glass, exclaimed : \u201cHere\u2019s to the great Mr.Macadam, the Colossus of roads !\u201d \u2014 Youth's Companion.Hundreds of Remnants of Tweed and No ! Serge Suitings and Trouserings to be cleared at Special I'rices at S.Carsley\u2019a Alontreal.ITALY.Rome, March 21\u2014In the Assizes to day two Anarchists were condemned to Imprisonment, one to 20 months and the other to 15 mouths, for manufacturing bombs.A third Anarchist was acquitted.SPAIN AIaprid, Alarch 21\u2014Senor De Aluruaga, Spanish Minister in Washington, cabled his resignation on Alarch 14.The AlinUter of Foreign Affairs has refused to accept it.It was officially announced to-day that a boat belonging to the missing cruiser \u201cReina Regente\u201d had been found on the beach near Alalaga.TURKEY.Constantinople, Alarch 21\u2014The Government, after considering the matter -for a week, have decided to allow the foreign members of the Armenian Commission of Inquiry to have their own interpreters.In consequence of this decision the various foreign embassies are now sending interpreters to Moosh.Nice, March 21- The Mid Lenten festival was celebrated to-day.In the battle of flowers.Queen Victoria and her party, who drove in from Cimiez, attracted more attention than all the other visitors, Tne first Îrize for carriage decoration was given to liss Van Boren, of New York, whose Victoria, driven tandem, had been transformed into an enormous cornucopia filled with flowers.ZANZIBAR.Zanzibar, March 21\u2014Drought and locust* have caused widespread famine in Eastern Equatorial Africa.Villages have been depopulated and mission schools and ehurches have been clofced.Alany natives are selling themielves aud their children into slavery to obtain food.UNITED STATES.Washington, March 21\u2014Of most immediate importance in the treaty with Japan, ratified to day, is the prot.icol providing that one month from today the import tariff now in operation in Japan affecting American food shall cease to be binding and Japanese autonomy iu Customs duties shall be complete.The treaty itself, with the long sought Japanese judicial control over foreigners, is not effective until July 17, 1899.but the great principle of recognizing Japan\u2019s supreme right us u modem civilized nation to control iis domestic affairs relating to imports, for which the United Slates has contended for over ten years, is mari&immediately operative.When the despatch from Aladrid announcing his resignation and that it had not been accepted wasshowu to Minister Aluruaga to-night, he shook his head disapprovingly :\u2014 \u201cI shall neither affirm nor deny its correctness,\u201d he said.\u201cI have nothing to say for publication.\u201d Notwithstanding the Alinis-ter's reticence, it is officially known that the statement contained in the despatch is true.Advices are said to have been received at the Nicaraguan Lcgmiouto uight, the effect of which lias a tendency to place a more hopeful showing in the relations between that Republic and the Government of Mexico.The tenor of the reported information is to the effect that the disputed boundary lines have been the subject ot recent very friendly consideration by the proper authorities representing both Governments and that & temporary arrangement has been entered upon w\u2019hich bids fair to result in an absolutely peaceful solution of the prevailing conten tions between the two Republics.San Francisco, Alarch 21\u2014A private letter from Potosi, Peru, just received in this city, contains the following -.\u2014\u201cWar is threatened between Chili and the Argentine Republic which will draw in Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador as allies of Argentine against Chili.One thing the people here fear is that Chili's first step would be io take a body of troops into the centre of Bolivia, which can easily he done by railway and has itep in between all the kIUcs and chastize each one eeparatcly at leisure.\u201d London, March 21\u2014In the House of Commons to-day, Mr.Chas.Ernest Schwann, advanced Liberal member for the North division of Manchester, asked if the Government would co-operate with Russia and France in bringing to an end the barbarous misdeeds perpetrated in Armenia by agenta of the Porte.Sir Edward Gr?y, UnderForeign Secretary, replied that the object desired would not be attained by the raising of such questions.Already, he added, several representations had been made to the Porte regarding cases of hardship and ill-treatment which had been brought to the attentiou of the British authorities.Mr.James F.Hogan, anti-Parnellite member for tbe middle division of Tipperary, asked the Government what truth there was in the statement made in one of the lasb letters of the late Robert Louis Stevenson, that ex-King Alataafa, of Samoa, after submit ting bo the authorities, had been brought to Apia on board a British ship, tbe captain of which, pointing to the British flag, declared he would be safe thereuader.Notwithstanding this assurance, accordingto Mr.Stevenson, Alataafa was sent to Marshall Island.\u2022 Sir B-lward Grey said that tbe captain cf the British ship had only promised Alataafa that his life would be spared and bad not taken any part in his deportation.Tbe latest advices from Samoa, Sir Edward said, conveyed the information that all of the do-pwteif chiefs were well treated and that arrangements had been mads for their families to join them.HOUSE OP LORDS.In the H./uieof Lords to- lay.Lord Rtpon'a bill t> repeal the restrictions upon the Australian Colonies in regard to the imposition of Customs duties, was passed to the Committee stage.Horror in Store for China.In the United Service Magazine for Fsb-ruary there is an article by Col.Maurice, C.B , on the war between China and Japan, which will arrest attention.CoL Maurioe predicts fearful things for the Chinees.\u201cA vision of horror,\u201d he says, \u201chas been long floating before my eyes as to what is going to happen before the war comes to an end.\u201d Die Chinese authorities are now boasting that they have gathered round Pekin half a million of men.Discipline or organisation there is none.The Chinese have not the faintest notion of the most ordinary military or sanitary precautions.\u201cWhat will happen when the snow, fouled by hundreds of thousands of men and animals, melts in tbe spring ?Ever since the naval battle of the Yalu the accumulation of ill-disciplined soldiery has been going on.So grave is the danger even for a civilized army to be long gathered on one spot that it is the rule of armies only to concentrate actually for the purpose of battle, and to occupy a wide area before and afterward.Even with civilized armies one reason for it is the impossibility of maintaining for a few weeks or even days such conditions of health as will prevent the outbreak of serious epidemics.As soon as tbe warm weather sets in in the epriog the conseqnence of all this must be a frightful outbreak of pestilence in some form or other, probably in many forms, but beginning with malignant typhus in ita most virulent shape.\u201d The efforts to effect a peace may fail, the Japanese armies may move forward slowly, the authorities at Pekin may get a little heart again as they see the difficulties before tbe invaders, but when the weather moderates and the mild season begins, tbe Chinese will have, in all possibility, a foe to contend with vastly more unsparing than the foreign sword.\u2014Washington Star.English Sleeping Gars.The new' style English sleeping car is not at all like the American sleeper, except that it has the corridor principle.The American car has been tried in England, but is not favored.The sleeping carriages of the North-western line are partitioned off into eight separat e bedrooms, each containing two brass bed -steads.A corridor runs along the side of tha car, from which all the rooms open.In the centre of the car is a sitting-room for men and one for women, and there are lavatories.An old institution on British roads is the saloon carriage, which is much after the stylo of American private cars, only on a smaller scale.These saloons consist of a lobby, with umbrella stands, hat and coat pegs,'closets for linen and china, and a small pantry.Opening off on one side is a servants\u2019 compartment, and on the other side a smoking-room.Then comes a large drawing room, occupying about half the car.It contains several mahogany tables, chairs, divans and couches.At the farther end is a lavatory.These cars have been improved on year by year, until now the newest ones are as comfortable and luxurious as one may find in the world.Some companies have third class saloons, while picnic saloons, for racing parties and the like, are found on some lines.The electric light is generally used on British railways now \u2014New York Sun.Effect ot the War on Tea.Some far-looking people who are interested in the tea trade have been considering how tlie trade is likely to be affected in the long run by the war which is unhappily going on between China aad her neighbour, Japan.Of course, durieg the progress of hostilities the cultivation and preparation of tea for tbe market by the Chinese must receive a serious check, hut how will it be afterward ?Will the striking advantages of European methods as exemplified in the success of the Japanese forces make the Chinese more amenable to Western ideas, and will this have the effect of stimulating the output of Chinese tea in competition with Ceylon and Indian teas through the introduction of machinery ?If the Times of Ceylon is to be trusted, the Ceylon planters are in no fear of increased coinpetitiou from this quarter.It is pointed out that machinery ala-ays finds it difficult to compete with efficient coolie labour, and that in China it costs almost nothing to grow*, pluck, and manufacture lea, seeing that the work is done by the owners of a few bushes in their spare moments.Moreover, even if the output of Chinese tea were largely increased, there is no evidence that it would find an increased market in England, at all events.Ceylon tea has greater strength and pungency than China tea, and English consumers prefer it in consequence, although in other countries the same preference is not shown, at least in so marked a degree.Don\u2019t Push.Have you any idea of the number of persons that ihe United Stales would sustain without overcrowding the population or even going beyond the limit of density now shown by the State of Rhode Island?The last census of the pigmy State just gives it a population of 800,000.The area of the State in square miles is only 1,250, thus we find that there is an average of 31S persons on every square mile of her territory.We can best illustrate the sustaining capacity of the whole of the United Stain'and of the other States by making some compati-eons The State of Texas has an area of 266,780 square miles ; and, w«-re it equally densely populated as \u201c Little Rhody,\u201d would comforiably sust&in a population of 83,523, 628 inhabitants\u2014a greater number of persons than the whole country is expected to have in the year 1900.Scatter people all over the whole land from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the gulf to the British possessions, as thickly as they are now in Rhode Island, and we would have 945,766,300 inhabitants, instead of an insignificant 62,000.000.Iu other words, if the United States could be peopled to their utmost sust&iuing capacity, we could take care of nearly two-thirds of the present population of the globe.\u2014St.Louis Republic.'Ihe Grip.A million little microbes Were dancing in the sun ; There came a bitter killing frost, And then there was but one.This lonely little microbe Pouted his little lip And said : \u201cI wish 1, too, was dead, Because I\u2019ve lost my

accompanies tho Order-ih-Council, on the Manitoba School question, and so that matter is settled, for the nonce.The Manitoba Legislature is sitting at Winnipeg, and in the course of a very few hours, Mr.Gkeenway and his colleagues will have the document in their hands to deal with as they see tit.What will they do with it ?What ground will tluy take in their House of Assembly ?In a week or two, we may know.But yesterday, another important matter was decided.And this concerns us much more nearly.There is to be no dissolution of Parliament, as many of our Liberal friends so ardently hoped.The House will be called to meet for the despatch of business on the 18th of April.That is as it should bo, and the Government loses nothing by agreeing to meet the representatives of the people, and to d scuss with them the affairs of the nation.The session is likely to be a pretty stormy one, hut what of that ?The Conservative Government lias had to fight its way before now, and it is ready, as always, to fight its way again.Under the circumstances of the situation, there was nothing left for the Cabinet to do, but to call the members together, in the public interest Much may happen in a year, or even in less than a year.We approve of the posi tion which the Government has taken, and the people, we are very sure, will heartily stand by it.Tenders will, shortly, be asked for by the Federal Government, for the establish ment of a direct steamship line between Canada and Antwerp, calling at Havre or Boulogne.It is stipulated that in the summer, the service shall be fortnightly, and in the winter, it will be monthly.The vessels employed shall not be less than 2,500 tons capacity, and capable of steam ing not less than 13 knots per hour, at sea The business community will be glad to hear this.The Toronto Oloix thus çorrects an error into which a contemporary had fallen : \u2014 \u2022\u2022The Telerjram is in error in speaking of Lord Ri'ssbli., formerly Sir Charles Russeli.and a Roman Catholic, as Lord Chancellor and as having consequently presided at the Privy Council at the delivery of the Manitoba appeal case.Lord Russell is Lord Chief J ustice, not Lord Chancellor, and was not present at the delivery of the judgment The Lord Chancellor presided, but lie is Lord Hfrschell, a Protestant.In fact it may be taken as an unwritten law that the Lord Chancellor of England must be a Protestant.Others besides the Tdeqram have fallen into this error, and as it involves a point of some importance it is advisable the misapprehensions should be corrected.\u201d The stalwart wing of the Liberal party in Ontario is making a strong effort to in duce Sir Oliver Mow at to resign the Pre miership of tho Province, and join hands with Mr.Laurier, and run for a scat in the House of Commons.In that case, the new Government, if it ever materializes would be called the Mowat-Laurier ad ministration.Sir Oliver, however, knows when he has a good thing, and, at his ago it would be the sheerest folly for him to make the shift.It certainly shews weak ness on the part of the English Liberals to insist on taking their lexder from the Local House.What is tho matter with the men who have borne the brunt since 1878 ?Where are Sir Richard Cart wrioht, Mr.Patterson, of Brant, Mr Mills, of Bothwell, Mr.Davies, of Char lottetown, Mr.Jones, of Halifax, and Mr, C.W.Weldon, of St.John ?Are these leaders no good Î Why, in this emer goncy, does every Liberal eye turn to Sir Oliver Mow at ?Evidently, all is not peace in the Reform camp, thesedays.Lieut.-Governor MacTntosh, of the North-West, having been charged with pmiianship by a Calgary paper, took the earliest possible oppjrtunity to deny tho soft impeachment.At a meeting at Qu\u2019Ap pelle, he delivered a powerful speech, in which he vigorously repudiated the charge In the old days, the Hon.Charles was a partisan of the first water, hut since he has become a Governor be knows neither Liberals nor Conservatives, as such.He is right there.Th® \u201cB lake*» \u201d gneersmor.ADMIRATION EXPRESSED FOR II.M.S.\u201cCRESCENT.\u201d The warship \u201cCrescent,\u201d which

repeated etforts to secure her as the flagship, in lieu of the \u201cOrlando.\u201d While at Sydney the colonists were so much pleased with the \u201cCrcècent\u201d that the Premier telegraphed to

and further, the Committee do not perceive on what principle, consistently with a declaration that, effect is not to be given to this appeal, the Protestant or Korn.in Catholic minority in Quebec or Ontario could make the corresponding provision of Section 93 of the British North America Act in case of any Provincial Act or decision affecting their rights or privileges.If Your Excellency should see fit to approve of the foregoing recommendation, the Committee desires to state that it follows that refusal or neglect on the part of the Legislature of Manitoba to enact remedial legislation, which to Your Excellency-in-founcii seems requisite, will confer upon Parliament authority to pa«s such a law.In this connection it was urged by counsel on behalf of the Province, that should Parliament legislate under these circumstances, its enactment would be absolute ami irrevocable so far as both Parliament and the Provincial Legislature are concerned.The Committee, without necessarily adopting this view, observes that section 22 of the ManRobji Act may admit of that construc- lency-in-C»uncil might seem meet.And whereas, the 26th day of February, 1895, having been appointed for the hearing ot the said appeal and the same coming on to be heard on that day ami on the 5th, 6th and »ih days of March, 1895, in the presence of counsel for the petitione.s (the said Roman Catholic minority of Her Majesty\u2019s subjects in the Province of Manitoba) and as well for the Province of Manitoba, upon reading the said petition and the Statutes therein referred to ami upon hearing what was alleged by-counsel on both sides, His Excellency the Governor-General-in-Council was pleased to order and adjudge and it is hereby ordered and adjudged that the said appeal be anil the same is hereby allowed iu so far as it relates to rights acquired by the said Roman Catholic minority under legislation of the Province of Manitoba passed subsequent to the union of that Province with the Dominion of Canada ; and His Excellency the Governor-General-in-Council w-us pleased to adjudge and declare and it is hereby adjudged and declared that by the two Acts passed by the Legislature of tlie Province of Manitoba on the 1st day of May, 1890, intituled respectively \u201cAn Act Respecting the Department of Éducation\u201d and \u201cAn Act Respecting Public Schools,\u201d the rights and privilegsa of the Roman Catholic minority of the said Province in relation to education prior to the 1st day of May, 1890, have been affected by depriving the Homan Catholic minority of the following rights and privileges, which previous to and until the 1st day of May, 1890, such minority had, viz; \u2014 (a) The right to build, maintain, equip, m inage, conduct and support Roman Catholic Schools in the manner provided for by the said Statutes which were repealed by the two Acts of 1890 aforesaid.(ft) The right to share proportionately in any grant made out of the public funds for the purposes of education.(c) Tha right of exemption of sit :lt Roman Catholics as contribute to Roman Catholic schools from all payment or contribution to the support of any other schools.And His Excellency the Governor General-in-Council was further pleased to declare and decide, and it is hereby declared that itseems requisite that the system of education embodied in the two Acts of 1890 aforesaid shall be supplemented by a Provincial Act or Acts which will restore to the Roman Catholic minority the said rights and privileges of which such minority has been so deprived as aforesaid, and which will modify the said Acts of 1890 so far and so far only as may bo necessary to give effect to the provisions restoring the rights and privileges in para graphs (a) (ft) and (c) hereinbefore mentioned.\\Vhereofihe Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Manitoba for the time being and the Legislature of the said Province and all persons whom it may concern, are to take notice and govern themselves accordingly.(Signed), John J.McGee, Clerk of the Privy Council.SPORTING NEWS- Arbafhey would boalmost.pricelesstotbogewho s-.i Uoi Jco.this distressi ug com plain I but fortu-nu.iy thorgooduesHdocs uotond liero.ard those who once try them will find thcsclittlo pills vain-shield so many ways that they will not bo wil-to do without them.Kut after all sick head Preliminary List of Messrs, liam & Co.a Spring Engagements for Sales 4th April, at the resilence of the late Mr.Payne, Mount Pleasant, the Beautifully Situated Residence and Furniture and Effects.10th, at the residence of Mr Lea month.16th, at the residence of Mr.Far well, St.John street 17th, Pedigree Stock for Dr.Elliot.18th, at the residence of J.C.* iset, 24 Anne street.22nd, at the residfnee of Mr.Maguire, 11 Hamel street.24th, at the residence of Mad.Pourtier, St.John street.26th, at the residence of Rev Canon Richard son, 3 Conroy street.And others who have not yet arrange*! dates, fliecinl attention is directed to the above, as the whole will be found most attractive sales of excellent quality of goods.Ths regular advertisements will appear in due course.A.J.MAXHAM ft CO., A.ft B.Mardi 22.1895.For Sale or to Let.THE HOUSE NO.77 ST.I* iMT A Louis Street, pleasantly situated and in good repair.Rent moderate.ALSO TO LET.No.62 St.Louis street, a Most Comfortable House, occupied for years by the proprietor.Apply to J.D.BROUSSEAU, 62 St.Louis Street.March 12, 1895.\tAm m Apply Is the banc of so many lives that here Is where v.le and do not gripe or purrp.lr.it by : heir gentle action please all who u?othem.luvialsat.!.»coins, flvalorfl Bold t,y i.nitf^icts everywhere, or sent by mail.CAME,I MEDICINE CO.Ncv Vo*k.M M Ss&l ftss.Small ENGINEERS\u2019 SUPPLIEsT o If) ID CO Sh CQ o o Q- w Fashionable Spring Overcoatings.To Let, rpHAT SPLENDID STORE I.and dwelling, for the past five years occupied by Mr.Koumil-hac, wine nerchant, 17 and 19 8%.John street, next door to the Caisse d\u2019Economie building, heated throughout by hot water.Stable, etc, attached, for further particulars to CALSSE D\u2019ECONOMIE, 21 St.John Street.March 2, 1895\tAm Offices to Let.Fiest-classo/fices with large fire proof safes in each, to to let;
