Sarnia division he learned that section m< n wore getting only 90 cents a day.He immediately raised their wages to $1.25 When he \\iMt«\u2019d Block I sl ops, in the Tenth ward, it was explained to linn that the busi ntss men bad donated ihe grounds upon which the simps stand, expecting that pre fetenee would be given residents of I oat sec tion of ihe ciiy when wotk was to be given out He said tiint the right thing would ctitiinly he done to old Fort Giatiot and that lun-afler workmen would be i ngiiged w ho lived there.It is also reported on good authority that Mr.Hayes compel!»d the Tunnel Company, which is a Convicted of Murdering Her Husband by Administering Arsenic\u2014Her Unhappy Married Life \u2014Her Trial and Sentence \u2014 Persistent Efforts in Her Behalf.Tire announcement that M.s.Florence Maybrick ts soon to be released from the prison in England where she is serving a life sentence create#** great interest in the Ui.iied States.She is an American woman by birth,breeding and long residence.She was convicted of the murder of her husband, Jas.Maybrick, by the administration of arsenical poisoning, and has spent the past six years in a prison cell.Her trial and conviction awakened intense interest on both sides of the Atlantic at the time, and that interest has been maintained with varying degrees of iutenai*y ever since by the persistent efforts made to secure her release.Mrs.Maybrick is the daughter of a Mobile banker (deceased), and the grandniece of Justice Campbell of the United States Supreme Court.She was highly educated, beautiful and accomplished.She met Maybrick, who was twenty-six years her senior, on the deck of an ocean steamer in 1SS0, she being at that time eighteen years old.He was a Liverpool cotton broker, and had lived a free and easy life, being an habitual user of stimulants of an alcoholic nature.They were married soon after becoming acquainted, and the first years of their married life passed without domestic trouble.Four children were born, and then the young wife and mother discovered that her husband was unfaithful, and that he was making another woman a regular allowance.At this juncture Mra.Maybrick made the acquaintance of a Mr.Brierly, and sought from him sympathy aud advice, but there was not a particle of evidence that their relations were of an immoral charactor, nor, as was stated, that a marriage between them h&d been agreed upon in case of the husband\u2019s death.Iu March, 1889, there was a violent quarrel between Mrs.Maybrick and her husband, at which t:me he made a violent assault upon her.She consulted a lawyer and decided upon a separation, but there was a reconciliation.He continually exhibited jealousy and in April, 1880, made a will unfavorable to her.He had been for a long time a chronic sufferer from dyspepsia, which was augmented by his dissipated life.He changed his physician frequently and habitually dosed himself with dangerous drugs, doubling ths quantity prescribed aud boasting of his knowledge of medicine.After he died, great numbers of medicine bottles were found in his house aud office.In much of this medicine arsenic was an ingredient, and it was shown that, during his residence in the United States, prior to this time, he hud been a confirmed arsenic eater, and was well acquainted with its effects upon his system.Shortly before his death Mr.Maybrick received by post a bottle of medicine which he had sent.for, and which was handed to him by a female servant.The following day he became ill, but he got up, attended a horse race, and dined with a friend.He was ill when he returned, and the following day his wife administered an emetic said summoned a doctor, calling the physician\u2019s attention to the fact tnat her husband had been in the habit of taking a whi'e powder, and arsenic was fonud iu some liquid left iu the bottom of a glass, after his death.Some time before his death Mis.Maybrick had bought a package of\u2019fly-p&per which contained arsenic.The package was sent home openly and the contents steeped, without any attempt at concealment, in her husband\u2019s bedroom.The liquid from the steeped flypaper was jpixed with other ingredients aod used as a face W\u2019ash, an expert testifying that this use of fly-paper was not uncommon, and that she had customers who bought it to secure the arsenic which was not otherwise obtainable.Much more evidence was offered at the trial, but there was nothing pasitive or decisive ; but there were many important facts which came to light after the sentence,which, if they had been offered, would undoubtedly have resulted in an acquittal.The trial resulted in a verdict of guilty and a death sentence, which was afterward changed to imprisonment for life.It has been shown th&t the case was tried by a judge of unsound mind, who was shortly after retired because of his infirmity, and who was said to have an aversion towards Americans amounting to almost & mania.It is a well known fact, and it was commented on at the time, that his charge was confusing, misleading and full of errors.Since her conviction Mra.Maybrick has languished in prison, notwithstanding the fact of a general opinion that she wm innocent.The Iciding women of America, and many men, have been persistent in their endeavors to procure her release, or at least a reopening of the case, and the English Government been appealed to and petitioned in vain.A large fund bas been raised, and now it appears that these efforts will be rewarded and the unfortunate lady will regain her freedom.Scottish Pearls.One front Aberdeenshire Among tho Queen\u2019s Jewels.(From the Scottish American.) One is so much accustomed to associate pearls with the eastern and gold wi*h (-he southwestern countries of world that the discovery of po*nl* In Scotland aud gold in Wales seems somewhat opposed to the order of things.That gold exists in Wales is, of course, quite a recent discovery, and the small and unprofitable quantities found have now resuite»! in the abandonment of the mining operations commenced by Richard Morgan.But the pearls of Scotland have quite a diflerent history.For centuries pearls have been found in the River Ythan, in Aberdeenshire.and only last year an Aberdeen man made some notable hauls, which he disposed of to jewelers of the northern towns.It was recently slated in a London paper that a pearl taken from the River Ythan, is believed to form one of the Queen\u2019s crown jewels.1c is to be huped that the belief is well founded, for in that case it may be reasonably claimed that the precious stone in question is the only one contributed by the British Islands, a thought calculated to gratify our national pride, for Scotland might be worse represented than by a pearl in the national regalia.A story is told of an Aberdeenshire farmer who found a very large and peifect pearl in the shell of a mussel taken from the Ythan.Happening to visit London some time afterwards, he displayed his treasure to a West End jewler, who, struck with the size and beauty of the gem, asked the price.The farmer demanded w hat possibly he regarded as a big price, \\iz., £100.Now this was in the days w hen Scotland had her own coinage, and a pound (Soots) was equivalent to Is.8J.so that the £100 he asked would only have % represented £8 6s.8J.English money.- His surprise and delight may be imagined therefore when he received for his pearl £100 sterling.It is doubtful, however, whether the English jeweler woulcl have shared these feelings had he known tiie exact meaning of the \u201chunner pun,\u2019 demanded by the owner of the pearl.However, he had no occasion to complain, ft>r he is said to have sold the gem subsequently at a large profit.One of the few French Protestant visionaries, Guillaume Monod, died recently in Paris at the age of ninety-five.He believ»d he w as Jems Christ and led a congregation of nearly 500 persons to believe it also.He belonged »i the very numerous family of Me.nods, i « ;any, giving the Atlantic Transport Company c mtrol of it.The old Directors of the National Comjwinv retired.The Company\u2019s business will be transferred to London.HOUSE FURNISHINGS !

the Guelph J auction Railway C».; the Erie and Detroit River Railway Co.; the Act incorporating the Supreme Court of the Order of Foresters ; the St.Lawrence and Adirondack Railway Co.; fo confirm a certain lease and agree-meut between the Grand Trunk and the St.Lawrence and Adirondack Co\u2019s.;

but he does not show how it.would be possible to get the men for a Colonial Army Corps.My experience of the colonies, and especially of Canada, convinces mo that it would he almost impossible to raise a permanent force for service wherever needed.The Colonies have all the material for soldiers of the best typo.Incase of Invasion threatening the Integrity of the Empire, Canada, for instance, could put into the field a splendid army, and these troops would, 1 am convince ed, fight to the last in defence of their country ; but itcan hardly be hoped that thousands of men in each Colony would give up the occupations on which they depend for a livelihood in order to volunteer for military service.People who have gone to settle in Australia or Canada as farmers, or who are fanners by birth theie, cannot be expected to leave their homes and pistpone the development of their property during the period necessary for military training with an army corp».And the mechanic or labourer can generally earn such good wages that he is not likvly to sacrifice them for the purpose of serving with tne colours There is no surplus population that can be relied upon to Led the ranks.You remember what happened when we tried to form one Canadian regiment for the regular army.\u201d Lord Wolseley evidently referred to the Old Hundredth, which, after vain attempts to raise a suffioieiit number of men in the Dominion, had to be recruited mainly from Liverpool, and thus became imbued with ihe Irish element w hich is so s'rong iu that city.Its distinctive title as the \u201cRoyal Canadians\u201d has long since been merged in that of the Priuce of Wales\u2019s Leinster Regiment.THE MORAL VALUE OK THE QUEEN's UNIFORM.I have always deplored the decision whereby regiments of the British Army were withdrawn from our Colonies,\u2019\u2019 said Lord Wolseley, in continuation.\u201cCanada was always a favourite station, and the presence of red coats there certainly tended to keep up the idea o! association with the mother country.I do not think I have told before an incident in connection with a proposal to clothe all the Marines in blue.It was to Prince Albert that we owed the abandonment of that idea.He pointed out that the red coat is a distinguishing mark of the British Army, and one that we should do well to keep before the eyes of people in distant parts of the Empire.The navy goes everywhere.A blue uniform might belong to any nationality, but ipfecrevcr a red coat is seen the people will sta^J \u2018Here is England.\u2019 That was the opinion emphatically expressed by His Royal IBghiu-ss, and it saved the red coat for the Royal Marines, who have worn it with so much distinction in «very quarter of the globe since then as from the day when they became a part of our naval establishment.It would be even better than sending red coats to the Colonies if only half a battalion, or a battery, ora troop of mounted riflemen from each Colony in turn could be brought to England ; but 1 confess that the difficulty of getting men enough to form a Colonial Army Corps such as the correspondent of the Daily (Jrayhic has suggested seems to me insurmountable.\u201d TORONTO CORRESPONDENCE.fur sale ok to let NO DIFFICULTY IN flETTINfi THE OFFICERS.Having expressed this opinion.Lord Wolseley naturally did not enter into a discussion of the principles upon which a Colonial Anny Corps at the service of tho Empire and with its permanent headquarters iu England, might be organised.\u201cThere would bn no doubt about being able to get the officers,\" he said ; \u201cthey would come forward readily enough ; and tho men, if they could lie procured, would be excellent soldiers But, for the reasons I have already given, I think it would be impossible to raue such an Army Corps.I am convinced, however, that if a scheme of tbe kind were practicable, «0 that some body of Colonial troops might bi quartered in England, ami each portion of the Empire represents l in turn, it would be of immense value as a means of welding more closely tbe bonds that unite the Colonies to the Mother Country \u201d Tne sentiments are iu keeping with all that Lord Wolseley is known to Lave said years ago when he was among the lirst advocates of Imperial Federation, and it is ceitaiii that if any scheme for the formation of a Colonial Army can be brought to practical experiment, it will meet with no opposition at the War Office, but rather find a sympathetic and powerful supporter in the person of the Coin mauder-in-Chief.Liquor Inspectors.Mr.Blondeau Draws Attention Good They Might do.to the Caledonia.Jas.Simpson W.P.So H J.H.Robertson W.Wilson i (skip)\u201432 To Ihe Editor of the Gazette SlK,\u2014It is time, in my opinion, that one Chlorodyne Hotlees of Births, Marriages and Deaths, 50 reals.Xu exception will he made to this rule.____ \">*\ti.-vaiar.ID E^TIEI.Ernst.\u2014On th« 25th instant, at the asre of 69 years and six months, Anna Prenette, widow of the late John Ernst.The funeral will take place this (Friday) morning, at 7.45 o\u2019clock, from her late residence, No.305 King street, St.Roch\u2019s, to St.Koch's Church, thence to St.Charles Cemetery Friends and acauaintances are reiqiectfully requested to attend.rem W.Vesalius Pettigrew, M.D.formerly Lecturer at St.George\u2019s Hospital, London.\u2014 ve no hesitation in stating that I have never n.et with any medicine so efficacious as an Fr.* I hav\t_\t_ Anti-spasmodic and Scdatiie.I have used it in Consumption, Asthma, D.arrhma, and other diseases ;

consequently, upon motion of Captain L.(.\u2019ass.Ledyard, Lord Dunraven was expelled from honorary membership in the Club by a vote of 39 to 1.(iicat surprise was expressed when the n line of Chester C.Monroe, owner of the \u2022 Oriva,\u201d was culled, and he said : \u201cNo.\" for the members hud voted 39 in favor of expulsion and one against.! he action of Mr.Monroe was a matter of much regret to the yachtsmen, as they had hoped to stigmatize Lord Dunrav n by unanimously throwing him out of the Club.Mr.Monroe\u2019s course was heartily condemned by the members, who generally referred to him in uncotnpli-mentary terms.or other of the two Governments, who have control of the liquor business in the Province of Quebec, should take steps to see that the present, I may say wholesale adulteration of liquors, wines and beers, he put a stop to.A* things are now, it is almost impossible for anySioneat hotelkeeper to make both ends meet and sell honest goods.When we property.Nos.49, 51 and 55 of St Ursule street, containing 72 English feet on Ursule street, with br ck building .The property has been occupied for many years as Police Station No.1 and office of the Board of Health.Sale at 10 A.M., at the office of V.W.La-Rue, 28 Ann street.For particulars, apply to the undersigned Notary.V.W.LaKUE, N.P.LEMIEUX, GALE & CO., Auctioneers.Febmary 25, 1896.\tG Harpers Bazar.IN 1896.The twenty-ninth year of Harper's Bazar, beginning in January, 189», finds it maintaining it* deserved reputation both as a Fashion Journal and a weekly periodical for home reading.Every week the Bazar presents beautiful toilettes for various occasions, Sanpoz, Baudf, and Chapcis illustrate and engrave the newest designs from the finest models in Paris and Berlin.New York Fashion» epitomizes current style» in New York.A fortnightly pattern-sheet supplement with diagrams and directions enables women to ait and make their own gowns, and is of great value to the professional modiste as well as to the amateur dress-trakei.Children\u2019s Clothing receives constant attentior.Fashions for Men are described in full detail l y a man-about town.Our Paris Letter, by THaelvk De Forest, is a sprightly weakly r*.citai of fashion, gossip, and social doings in Paris, giv-m by a clever woman in an en let-taining way.Both the aerial» for 1896 are the work of American women.Mrs.Gerald, by Maria Louise Pool, is a striking story of New Ei g-land life.Mary E.Wilkins, in Jerone, a Poor Man, discu-aes the always interesting pre -blemsof the relations between labor and capita).Short stories will be written by the best au« thors.special Department».Music.The Outdoor Woman, Personals, What, We Are Doing, W< J men and Men, report and discuss themes of immediate interest.Answers ti Correspondents.Quêtions receive the personal attention of the editor, at d are answered at the earliest possible date afte» their receipt.The Volumes of the Bazar begin with the first Number for January of each year.When no time is mentioned, subscriptions will begin with the Number current at the time of receipt of order.Remittances should be made by Post-Office Money Order or Draft, to avoid chance of loss.Newspaper» are not to copy this advertisement without the cxpressorderofHARVKU & Brother*!, HARPER\u2019S PERIODICALS] HARPER\u2019S MAGAZINE, one vear.$4 00 HARPER\u2019S WEEKLY one yesr.4 00 HARPER\u2019S BAZAR, one year.4 00 HARPER\u2019S ROUND TABLE, one year 2 00 Postaoe Free to all suOteribert in the United States, Canada,and Mexico.Address : HARPER ft BROTHERS, P.O.Box 959, N.Y.City] January 25.1896.: Harper\u2019s Weekly IN 1886.Ask Wholesale Houses for Samples.All Goods Guaranteed and Stamped \u201cWarrantedIndigo Blue\" 0.MORRIGE SONS & GO.MONTREAL AND TORONTO, SEIZING AGENTS.Febmary 7.1896.\tfri The Russell OTTATW^.The Palace Hotel of Canada.This magnificent new hotel is fitted up in the most modem style.The Russell conuins accommodation for over FOUR HUNDRED GUESTS, with passenge and baggage elevators, and commands .p\u2019endid view of the city.Parliamentary grounds, river and canal.Visitor» to the Capital having business with the Govemmen find it most convenient to stop at the Russell where they can always meet leading publ men.The entire hotel is supplied with escapes and in case of fire there would not be any con fusion or danger.Every attention paid to guests.J.X.ST.JACQUES, PROPRIETOR Harper's Weekly is a journal for the whole country.It deals with the events of the world that are important to Americans.In carrying out this policy, in 1895, Julian Ralph visited China and Japan, and journeyed through the West;
