line cf defence.He expressed the opinion that in th*- event cf war it would be impossible to preserve our food supply.The Times announces that the Government intends to devote :hc bulk of the money which would otherwise have gone automatically to reduce the national d«*bt to increasing the navy on the lines of the bill intro- | dueed by the Rtdii-als a year ago.In The House of Commons to day.Right ( Hon.Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, replying to a question of Gen.John W.Laurie, Conservative, stated that the Government had copies of the resolution, adopted by the Australian Colonics expressing their loyalty to the Crown and declaring that they were unswervingly determined to make every sacrifice for the perpetuation of th< ir connection with the British Empire.The resolution of the Canadian Government, Mr.Chamberlain said, had not yet arrived, but when it did it Wf u!d be laid before the House.Mr.Johnston, Protestant .^Conservative, Belfast, asked if any recognition could be taken of the fact that when the resolution nas passed in the Canadian Parliament, the entire assembly rose to their feet and sang \u201cGod Save the Queen ?\u201d This was received with cheers.Mr.J.O.S.McNeil, Nationalist member for South Donegal, turning to Mr.Chamberlain, asked :\u2014\u201cIs it not a fact that these Colonies have the management of their own affairs ?Mr.McNeil s query was greeted with prolonged cheers from the Nationalist benches, bnt no by Mr.Chamberlain.The Official Gazette to-day announces that Lord Dunraven has been gazetted Lord Lieutenant of Limerick.'1 be Most Rev.Cornelius O\u2019Brien, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Halifax,and the Right Rev.Michael How ley, Bishop of St.John's, Nfli., started from London this morning for a visit to Turkey and Keypt.The libel suit brought by Sir A.B.For-wood, member of Parliament for Ormeki division of South-West Lmcashire and leader of the Liverpool Conservatives, against the Railway Times, w as tried to day and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff, the jury awarding him £100 damages.The libel complained of was contained in an article in defendant\u2019s paper asserting that while he held the office of Financial Secretary of the Admiralty, a position he occupied from 1886 to 180*2, he passed the West Indies mail tender of the Atlantic Steamship Company, whose New York agents are Messrs.Pirn, Forwuod A Co., in which firm he himself is a partner.The Railway Times also mentioned Sir A.B.Forwood\u2019s connection with the Costa Rica Railway, which it alleged his action was filso designed to benefit, and declared he was unfit to control the destinies of a respectable company.AMH5RIOAN.Washington, Feb.28\u2014The meeting of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations this morning resulted in action of a more vigorous character than the most ardent friend of the cause of Cuba was justified in expecting.The Committee declared, after seme debate, that it would not accept the wording of ihe resolution of the House Committee but cliug to one of their own, which is looked upon as even stronger thau any yet seriously considerd.Stronger, because the Committee capitulated to the sentiment represented in the resolution of Mr.Cameron, declaring for the independence of the Cuban Republic.A regular meeting of the Cabinet was held to-day.It is understood in olficial circles that the resolutions with regard to Cuban recognition before the Senate and House were considered with much seriousness.It is also the understanding among higher officials that the Administration is not in favor of Culian belligerency at this time.It may bo said this is an open secret.The conservative feeling of the President and his advisers is said *.o be the result not of any lack of sympathy with the insurgents, but of the knowledge of the embarrassments that would confront the United Stales Government if recognition were accorded.It is also stated that the President and members of his Cabinet are embarrassed over the possibility of the adoption by Congress of th* resolutions ou the Cuban question in a form requiring Executive approval.Some prominent officials, while known to have the greatest personal sympathy w ith the insurgent cause in Cuba, have shown they believe that their formal recognition by Congress and the President at this time would result in cod sequences too serious to be lightly encountered.Chicago, Feb.28\u2014Dr.S.F.McLean, of Washington, la., who has invented an army rifle that is causing astonishment among military men wherever it is exhihiled, left here for New York to enter his rifle in competition before a Gommiltee of the State legislature appointed to equip the National Guard of that State with 10,000 new guns.The invert tion has been fully patented.A single straight movement of the hand loads and fires the rifle, which has a capacity of five cartridges at present.It is filled by one movement from a case containing the cartridges.The new contrivance makes clogging of the rifle or disarrangement of the cartridges impossible.It is lighter than other rifles and 750 rounds have been fired at one time to tests its endurance and faithfulness to aim.San Khasoiscu, Feb.28\u2014At last night\u2019s session of the court of iuquity into the charges of improper conduct preferred against Rev.Dr.C.O.Brown, of the First Congregational Church, Miss Mattie Overman proved a most sensational witness.Miss Overman, with her back to the audience and with the members of the Council huddled about her in a semi-circle, \u2022ffo.'d a remarkable story of conniving at blackmail, in which she and Mrs.Mary A.Davidson were the arch conspirators and Dr.Brown was the innocent victim.In substance, she stated that under the inlluoneo of Mis.Davidson she consented to be a party to a blackmailing scheme whereby Dr.Brown a as to be mulcted to tho extent of $2.000.Mrs.Davidson was to prepare a story detailing the relationship between Dr.Brown and Miss Overman, and Miss Overman was to dispose of it to a San Francisco newspaper, 82,000 being the sum agreed upon.The tale was compiled, but Miss Overman\u2019s net ve failed her and she modified her terms with the newspaper to the extent of $1,000.This the paper declined to pay, and then it was that conscience smote Mbs Overman and she repented.Heedless of the threats of Mr».David.ton, the youug woman went to her pastor, confessed all and besought his forgiveness, which was readily granted.Prince A.Dolgosouki, of Russia, who for some time past has been Flag Lieutenant of the powerful Russian ba\u2019tleship \u201cEmperor Nichoias,\u201d now at Hong Kong, arrived here yesterday ou the \u201cBelgic.\u201d The Prince is e« route to St.Petersburg and will not return to China.He comes of one of the most famous families in all Russia and one from which came a line of noblemen celebrated in Russian history.He was asked if there was any danger of a war between Russu and Japan, as had been intimated in the despatches and otherwise.\u201cAs to that, I hardly think there will be any trouble,\u201d said the Prince.\u201cIf any was anticipated there would be something that would look like preparations.At answer was given preaeilt there are no preparations whatever.Mr.Chitron, the Minister for Russia to Japan, w ho has headquarters at Tokio, is to leave next week on tne steamer via Suez for St.Petersburg, to be present at the coronation of the Czar on May 18.At the same time Col.YVogak, the celejrated Military Agent of Russia in China an! Japan, will also leave for St.Petersburg.Mr.Dukosky, Governor-General of YY\u2019estern Siberia, is also at St.Petersburg.This is the best proof, I think, that there won\u2019t be any war.All these gentlemen desire to be present at the coronation of the Czar and it is largely for this that I am also hurrying home.\u201d CANADIAN REPORTS.DEATH OF A FORMER QUEBECER.IL LITER A TE MOST REAL MAS.ALDER- TUPPER \u201cHERALD\u2019 SUIT.LIBEL (jOODpiin Good Humor TERRIFIC HURRICANE IN QUEENSLAND.OVER ONE HUNDRED LIVES LOST.Many Villages Destroyed and Ves eels Wrecked.P.M.12.30 Mixed to St.Francis.30 Express to Sherbrooke.December 13, 18S5.n conjunction with the Canadian Pacific Rail- I Qeneik Office», River du Lou p, P.Q.«rav ia the shortest route to \"t.John, 2*.d., |\tSeptember 3rd, 1895.September 4, 1895.and other Lower Province point».For further information, apply to any of the Con pany\u2019s Agents, or to ^\tRM.STOCKING' City and District Agent, 32 St.Louis Street.FRANK GRUNDY Gen\u2019l Manager.Octolier 11,1896.J.H.WALSH, Gen.Passenger Agt.THE CANADA Sngar Refining Co.(Limited).MONTREAL.)

have any trouble with hfs digestion, it has been said that laughing makes people healthy.The truth is that health makes people laugh.There isn\u2019t any other thing so essential to health as regularity in the action of the bowels.Most all sickness starts with some derangement of the digestive functions.Good digestion means good, pure blood, and that means strength.Once let the liowels become clogged with refuse matter and the whole system is deranged.Impure, poisonous matter gets into the blood and plants the seeds for all sorts of sickness.Whenever there is a stoppage of the intestinal action, help should be given immediately.Usually a mild, gentle laxative is all that is necessary.A violent, wrenching, griping cathartic is never needed.Dr.Fierce\u2019s Pleasant Pellets are the most pleasant and successful remedy for occasional or chionic constipation or costiveness.They arc tiny, sugar-coated anti-bilious granules that even the smallest child can easily take.They act in perfect accord with nature and produce no griping or other disagreeable feeling.They should be taken at the first indication of digestive trouble.They stop sour stomach, belching,

their use as with other pills.New York, Feb.28\u2014A apecial to the Herald from Victoria, B.C., saya s\u2014Tne captains of vessels arriving here from Australia bring iuformatiou of a terrible storm which has devastated the coast of Queeaslaud.There were furious hurricanes and a fearful downpour of rain, w hich flooded the entire district.More than 100 lives were lost, itis reported.Whole villages were destroyed.Thousands of houses were wrecked aud with the other property destroyed on shore the dam ige is estimated at half a million pounds sterling.The value of vessels wrecked cannot be estimated.Townsville, a small city on the north-eist of Queensland, seemed to ho the centre of the storm, not a house in the towo ora vessel in the harhor escaping.Roes Island, a short dis tance away, was flooded ami many lives were lost io attempts to reach the mainland ia small boats.The damage wrought by the hurricane in Townsville harhor is estimated at £250,000, this including the dam ice to the water front property.The storm began January 25 ami did not abate its fury until the following Tuesday.In Townsville the hurricane had most dévastai ing effects, roofs being blown off and tossed about in tha air like sheets of puper, while two men were blown off their feet and into the harbor, both being drowned.The rainfall was tremendous and numerous places were entirely sub merged.In nine hours ou Monday twenty inches fell.On Ross Island many homes were swept away from their foundation*.The furious wind upset a rescue baat ami Mrs.Hunt and her infant, Mrs.Gunimaa, Gertrude Rowe, the elder Miss Howe, and a boy named \\V illiam Wallace were drowned.A house maid in Judge Chubb\u2019s employ, while wad ing towards the punta, was washed off her feet by the current and drowned.Sandy Walker was drowned while trying to cross the Victoria bridge, which was six féet under water.Many steamers are overdue at different points along the coast and when the Canadian liner \u201cMiowera\u201d sailed from Sydney for this port it was feared a majority of these had been lost.Among the vessels lost were the follow ing ;_Steamer \u201cLevinia\u201d went down and her 24 hands were drowned ; the iron steamer \u201cAlexander,\u201d of 681 tons, wassunk;the \u201cAdelaide,\u201d a small wooden steamer ot 39 tons sunk at Townsville ; the steamer \u201cHope,\u201d 98 tons, sunk

room No.16 this forenoon to discuss the Remedial Rill.It was not a Government caucus, as none of the Ministers were present and the Chairman of the regular caucus.Dr.Roome, did not preside Sir John Carling acted as Chairman.Those present were principally opponents of the Remedial Bill.There were, however, a good many others.A number of Conservative members did not attend, not being in sympathy with the meeting, and a number left by noon train for their homes in the West.Dr.Weldon submitted resolution to the meeting appointing a Committee consisting of Sir Donald Smith, Mr.Lariviere and himself (Weliion) to arrange for a conference with the Government between those favoring remsdial legislation and those against it.The idea is for this Committee to get fifteen other members of Parliament along with them to wait upon the Government and see how the bill can be modified so as to permit anti-remedial members to vote for it.A good many of the members were opposed to this, stating that the bill was before the House and members could either vote for it or not as they had a mind.Sir Donald Smith threw oil upon the troubled water, making a very good speech.He said that he had visited Winnipeg in connection with the matter, but had no mission from the Government to do so.He went as a private citizen who was largely interested in Manitoba and the North-West.He had a conference with Premier Greeuway while in Winnipeg and he was not yet without hope that Mr.Green way would come to the aid of the Federal authorities by settling the matter.This statement was received with considerable applause.Messrs.W.F.Maclean, Wallace and Sproule spoke against the bill.Dr.Cameron aod Mr.McDougall spoke of the/lesirahility of piny loyalty aud maintaining the Constitution The resolution was adopted in the end.That the conference with the Government can corns to anything is much doubted.It is not thought that the leaders of the Cabinet will back down in any degree.On the other hand, it is nowsai lihat thirty Conservatives will vote against the bill as it stands and the Government's defeat is absolutely certain unless the maj irity of the French Canadian Liberals bolt from Mr.Laurier to support the Remedial measure.Major Hughes denies that he has received a telegram from Winnipeg stating that Premier Green way and Mr.Clifford Sifton are coming to Ottawa.Log making has been stopped for the winter iu nearly all pjrtions of the Northern Ottawa district.This is unprecedented, but it has been brought about by the quantity of logs cut being as large as can be con

for Emperor William at Mutzig.In its issue to-morrow the Standard will say it thinks that the action of the United States Senate on the Cuban question places President Cleveland in affiighly embarrassing position.Nevertheless the throwing of the onus of the decision on him is a high compliment to his judgment.It is much to be hoped that he will feet strong enough to follow the policy of prudence.The Chronicle will say : \u2014If President Cleveland decides to act upon the resolution of Congress, bis action will be one that Spain will perforce regard as hostile to her vital interests.Whatever the rights or wrongs of the case, no Power would tolerate a request from another Power to give independence to a rebellious Colony.The doing so would ia volve abdicating all position of sovereignty.That Spain would do so is inconceivable, yet it is difficult to see what effective opposition she could offer if the United States are determined to follow their good offices by action.The American Government, however, is entering upon a thorny road.It must be assumed that it realizes all the responsibilities it proposes to incur.The Times will say that Spain cannot but regard the recognition of the rebels as an un-friendly act, yec she is not in a position to resent such recognition.She could gain nothing by declaring war upon the United Stales, which, moreover, can make out a case that is at least plausible.The paper dilates upon the serious difficulty and delicacy of the situation for Spain and concludes by declaring that the Spanish Government must recognize that the lime has come for a careful revision of its whole policy.It may perhaps be advisable to consider whether Cuban autonomy may not offer the best way out of the difficulty.It would at all events relieve Spain of a drain that threatens to cripple her finances altogether and might avert the greater danger now impending without her being inflicted with intolerable humiliation.TURKEY.Constantinople, Feb.28\u2014The Sultan has issued an Irade ordering that indemnity be paid to the Consuls at Jeddah for the attacks made upon them some months ago by Arabs.He awards

Ottawa, Feb.28 The annual report of the Minister of Marine ami Fisheries was presented to Parliament to night.Information regarding fishing bounties is brought up to December.1894, «luring which year 14.350 claims were paid, $77.325 to 899 vessels, and $82,741 divided among 13,351 boats, the total number of persons receiving bounty in that year being 29,222.The report deals at considerable length with the Behring Sea question, as regards the working of the regulations under the modus vivendi, the claim» under such arrangement and the agreement between Great Britain and Russia.Although the report ia not complete as regards the return of the catch of fish in the watets bonlering on the Maritime Provinces, the Minister reports that as far us the information goes for last season a decline in yield.will be shown.In Ontario he expects the catch will be an aicrage one.For the past few years the yield of the fisheries of Canada has exeeede.l $20,000,009.Over 70,-000 fishermen exploit the seas and inland waters uf Cana«la for a livelihood, and over $9,000,000 are now invested in fishing vessels, boats, nets and other implements.Although Oxford proposes to admit women students to the degree of bachelor of arts, it does so only on the con lition that they pass a belter examination than the men.This seems unjust, but it is not unexampled.They must take honors in at least one course of study or they will not get a degree, though one is conferred on men who simply \u201cpass' without taking honors.But the privilege of having a degree at all, small though the favor is, is thankfully received by the women students.The Journal dt Commerce, Rio de Janeiro, gets rather mixed up when it discusses American politics.Heic\u2019s a sample : \u201cTne municipal elections in New York certainly ended f&voraulv b-r the Republicans last year.Mr.Tammany Hall was elected Mayor by them, a fact winch gave great satisfaction to the press of the Union.Watts\u2014That is a pretty good story you tell, but it won\u2019t work.Weary Watkins\u2014 Course it won't.I> you 'pose I\u2019d be traveling around with it if it did Ï\u2014Indianapolis Journal.PISH AND GAME PROTECTION.HIE PRACTICAL SYMPATHY OF HON.K.J, FLYNN IN THE CAUSE.ENCOURAGING REPORT OF THE PROVINCIAL FISH AND GAME PROTECTION CLUB.Much valuable information respecting the matterof fish and game protection is furnished by the annual report of the Fish and Game Protection Club of the Province of Quebec for 1895, which was submitted at the annual meeting of the Club on the 26lh inst.The report sets forth that to the Honorable Edmund J.Flynn.Commissioner of Crown Lands, the thanks of the Club are due for his practical sympathy ; recognizing the good work the Club was capable of accomplishing, were the necessary funds at their disposal, he granted in April the sum of $500 to assist them in protecting the fish and game of the Province for the year 1895.The grant enabled them to employ regular game wardens, through whom the Club prosecuted and obtained convictions as follows : \u2014 Fred.Bellefeuille.Waddington Falls, P.Q., unlawfully hunting deer, and having live deer in hi» possession ; convicted at Victoriaeille, fine, $5, withoutItosts.Moise Décote, Wad-dington Falls, P.Q., unlawfully hanting deer, February 28th, 1895 ; convicted at Artha-baskaviUe, fine, $30, and cost» $11.P.Diamond in, Quebec, trout, fine, Sfi^oatt.Sé.OO.Charles Riverin, trout, fine, $5, coats, $4 90.Ferdinand Simard, Quebec, cariboo, fine, $5, coats, $4 90.Goo.Boulet, Cap St.Ignace, Quebec, unlawfully having three live deer in hi» possession,convicted at Montmagny ;fine, $10 ; coats, $7.75 ; deer confiscated to the Crown, and delivered to Commissioner Crown Lands.H.A.Pare, Quebec, trout ; fine, $5 -, costs, $4.90.A long list of convictions and prosecutions in the Montreal district is given.The Hon.Commissioner of Crown Lands cheerfully granted a bonus of $250 m special aid toward» defraying expenses tncorred in the enforcement of game law» during 1895.A Montreal merchant was convicted of having beaver carcase in his possession, contrary to recent amendment of laws regarding fur bearing animals, but as there was a doubt as to whether the law was to be applied immediately on its passage, or only after 60 days delay, it was decided not to enforce the collection of the fine, costs of action only being charged against defendant.Cases are now pending against three Montreal merchants, for having venison for sale out of season, and against two others for having hares for sale during close season.Prosecutions were instituted against several gentlemen for hounding deer in the Lauren-tides.These cases are still under adjudication.Details cannot yet be given.The employment of a number of game wardens by the Club is also reported, ana the report continues as follows :\u2014 \u201cAt Sorel, on September 3rd, we seized and destroyed 16 nets, the 'mesh\u2019 being smaller than is allowed by law.\u201cAs illegal fishing nets, with present laws, can only be seized when found set, we would suggest that an amendment be made to the laws, providing that the existence of such a net in a fishing place, or in poaseseion of a fisherman, would be presumptive evidence sufficient to justify its confiscation.\u201cThe St.Agathe, and the Grand Nord Districts were continually under surveillance of our Game Wardens, and though no convictions were obtaiued, the fact that the Fishing and Shooting grounds were being watched had the good effect of putting almost an entire stop to the illegal destruction of fish and game.\u201cDuring the late session of the Provincial Legislature, important amendments to the Game Laws were passed\u2014which will materially assist in protecting the game and fur bearing animals of the Province.Non-residents of the Province will require to procure permits for hunting and sbooting.From this, and other sources in connection with the Fish and Game preserves, the Government now derives a revenue of some $22,000 per annum.The Hon.Commissioner of Crown Lands stated he is of the opinion it will not be long before the revenue would amount to some $50,000 per annum, and that tbe success uf his department in the maintenance of the Fish and Game Laws is in no smalt measure due to the strenuous efforts of your club in enforcing the laws prohibiting the out of season killing and wholesale slaughter of fish and game that formerly existed.As in the past, the club will receive substantial recognition from the department ; the Hon.Commissioner of Crown Lands assured your Committee that the club would be treated as they deserved in accordance with the increase of revenue to the Government.\u201cResolutions regarding illegal fishing in Lake St.Peter, were duly forwarded to the Dominion and Provincial Government*, who promise to endeavor to devise meaus to overcome the evil.\u201cThe thirty-seventh anniversary dinner was held at thé St.Lawrence Hall, on December 12, and was one of the most enjoyable and successful in the history of the Club.\u201cFifteen hundred copies of tbe usual synopsis of the fish and game laws, in English and French, were printed in card form and judiciously distributed by us to dealers in our markets, Postmasters, etc., all over the Province.\u201cOur membership roll shows that many new names have been added during 1895.We need the practical sympathy of all lovers of the rod and gun, and your Committee sincerely hope that each member will do his utmost to assist the incoming Committee by putting, at least, oue member up for membership the coming year \u201d The officers elected for the current year are :\u2014\t.\t, Presi.lent\u2014J.T.Finnic.M J) , reelected.Vrice President\u2014J.B.Tressider.Hon.Treasurer\u2014T.C.Brainerd, re-elected.Hon.Counsel\u2014G.W.Macdougall, reelected Oorymiitee\u2014George Horne, A.N.Shewan, H.W.Atwater, I.H.Stearns.G.W.Stephens, Peter Mackenzie, Geo.Boulter, J.B.Sparrow, H.R.Ives, W.P.Scott, J.S.Leo, H.G.Elliott, J.P.Roche, W.C.Trotter, W.H.Parker, J.Gentles, R.Reid, T.A- Kmmaua, K O.Champagne.Ü.Rolland, Col D\u2019Orsounens, Thos.Roy, jr., R.Kiernan, M.Cocheuthaler, and E.T.1).Chambers.Vot«s of thanks were unanimously tendered the Hon.Consul and Secretary for services rendered during the past year.It will be well for all offen.lera against the fish and game laws to bear iu mind that the operations of tliis praiseworthy Society extend into this city ami disirict, and that as may already be seen, a number of merchant» of Quebec have already been fiued for selling fish and game out uf season.Costaki Authopoulo Pasha, the newly appointed Turkish Ambassador to the Court uf St.James, recently remarked to an inter viewer : \u201cLook at me I am, although a Turkish official, a Greek and a Christian.Many Christians are in the Turkish lervice.If Turkey had any feeling against Christians as such would this be possible V \u2019 There\u2019s beauty in the sunset\u2019s glow.And in the azure sky ;

discussed the relations between E iglau 1 and France in the lignt of the present occupation of Kgypt.\u2018\u2018If,\u201d he says, \u201cK igland is there alone, it is b«causa France refused to go with her.Siie has pul forth all her efforts to establish the country on a sound basis, aud has dime so.Egypt is no longer on tnc verze ol bank ruptcy.-Sue is pio-pering, her finances are well man aged, and her army almost suffices for home requirements.But Egyptians regard the Soudan as the French regard Alsace and Lorraine.If England were to leave Egypt to morrow, and the other Bowers held aloof, tile Kgypiiau Ministry would at once attempt the reconquast of the Soudan.\u201cIs it certain,\u201d Mr.Stanley asks, \u201cwhether they would succeed ?\u201d He further expresses a firm conviction that if England left Egypt now the English people would lose by the depreciation of their property there four hundred million frauci.Tneu there is the question of the Su-/, Canal, «Inch

A New York preacher says that a New Man will be necessaiy in order suitably to mate the New Woman.It is the general impression that there have long been men enough iu ihe world who wer«: willing to have their wives supp >rt them.If the Montreal correspondent of the New*.of St.Johns, represents truly the state of feeling on the subject in the city of Montreal, B.Q., the people of that place are about spoiled by the few Cabiuet meetings recently held there, and it may become necessary for the Ancient Capital to keep the Government at home in the future, and refuse to lend it even for a day to those who cannot have it for a visit without wanting to keep it for good and all.Seriously, though, it is very amusing to read the recent series of attacks upon Quebec penned in Montreal.Legislators, no more than ordinary mortals, care to trust themselves in wicked cities that harbor all kinds of vice and burn down Parliament Houses, and boodle with their municipal representatives and kill people with their electric ears, and all that sort of thing.Tranquility and quiet are more suited to the enactment of sound legislation than the hustle and bustle incident to the greedy «au.î angry strife for wealth.Hence the State Legislature of New York sits at Albany instead of New York City, that of Illinois at Springfield instead of Chicago, that of Pennsylvania at Harrisburg instead of Philadelphia, that of Michigan at Lansing instead ot Detroit.And with more reason still the Capital of this Province is the city whence it takes its name and the best part of its history, and w hich has fur nished to Montreal and the other outlying districts the best part of their intellect and their brain.Montreal\u2019s wail is as follows : \u201cDear old Quebec, thy torpor, thy feeble ness, and thy arrogance, make sport for an ungodly generation composed inconsiderable put.according to Cameroniau authority, of \u2018Hall inspired hypocrites.\u2019 Thé members of the Provincial Cabinet do not trouble Montreal a great deal.The light of their countenance i-», indeed, greatly desired.Considering that Montreal is the suppôtt of the Province, and that the country members represent a people who pay nothing for the offices of Government, it would not be too much to expect that the (government should lock up the Parliament BuiMing at Quebec, and move the seat of Government to the commercial metropolis of Canada.The seat of empire is generally found at the centre of life and activity.Why should tho Government stagnate at Quebec, which is given up to the rust of ages, in which a modern voice is rarely heard, and which contributes neither taxes nor inspiring influence ?Millions of money have been thrown away upon the Ancient Capital in the vain hope of falvanizing it into life.The members of the .egislature, the Government itself, feel the par&ly/.ing influence of an environment whose impassivity is acutting rebuke to the new day, which vainly knocks at tho old historic gates for admission.The peop\u2019e who pay the taxes should at least have the opportunity of looking upon their governors.They should see greatness at first hand.They should have the satisfaction of measuring the men who make Provincial history.And Government and Legis lature should receive the benefit of close contact with the classes of the population who are doing |their best to keep pace with the needs of a Modern day, whose significance can never be appreciated so long as Quebec remains the seat of power.We have had the Cabinet with us for the last week, and we have pestered it at all hours of the day and night.This is excus able euougfi when it is remembered that we keep them in being.Eliminate Montreal, and can life be imagined as tolerable in thi* Province?We support the whole machinery of Government.We pay for the poor counterfeit of royalty, which would be belittling to the really great man.We encourage and sustain Black Rod, conscious, not of the immorality, but of the humor of the thing.We enable creatures to slop in first class hotels, who never had an idea beyond maple sugar in their tea till we called them into being.And we are so generous that while we sustain the Province, wc ask nothing for our .selves.We allow the habitant members, many of whom never saw the city, to make our laws.We humbly submit ourselves to the judgment of men, of whom the majority can barely read and write.\u201d Just Received the Following Novelties in Dress Goods : UNTIE SIOILI^-IsrS, IN ALL THE LATEST OK SEASON'S COLORS.New Fancy Mohairs, New Covert Coatings, New Plain and Fancy with Silk Effects.P.S.\u2014REMEMBER ONE PRICE ONLY.THAT FRIDAY IS OUR BARGAIN DAY.TELEPHONE 2157.F.SIMARD, 137 St.Joseph Street, St.Root's.WITH Upright Boiler, February 29.1893.Si 1 HARDWARE, 13 St.John Street, Upper Town Sous le Port Street, Lower Town IFTEM HORSE POIEÏ In Very G-ood Order.A CHOICE ASSORTMENT -OF- SILVER PLATED WARE JOS.RODGERS & SON\u2019S* Fine Table and Pocket MR.Everything Useful.( Anonymous.)

Fine Goods at Moderate Price.\u2022 known in sporting parlance as \u201cringers.\u201d A \u201cringer,\u201d it maybe explained, is a fast horse that the owner takes to different sections of the country, giving it a new name wherever he happens to be.This is clearly a fraud and the object oi the legitimate horse-breeders is to prevent it.On the other hand some members of the Committee held that by certain clauses of the bill, a fast horse owned by a farmer that had developed speed at agricultuial faiis, might be debarred from afterwards racing on a recognized track.The point of this lies in the fact that farmers do not give names to their horses that can be used for purposes of identification.Incidentally it came out that the purpose of the promoters of the bill is to prevent the use of horse racing as a means of gambling, pure and simple, as has been done at Morris Fark and Gittenburg, in New Jersey, and Wind-s ir, in Ontario.The practical effect of it all is that while speeding contests at fairs will be permitted, horse racing as a cover for gambling is made non lucrative.In brief, the idea of all seemed to be to encourage the breeding and development of horses while driving out the gambling element.There was a good deal of discussion over the whole matter, but it was on the question of the wording of the clauses eo as to produc-s the effect that both parties desired.Something that is if not altogether unprecedented at least unusual, occurred in the Hr,use when Sir Charles Tapper, Bart., refused, on the part of the Government, to bring down a return that had been asked lor.But he did it in a very diplomatic way, at the same lime giving a good reason for his conduct.The motion had been for a return giving the details of the expenses of the Dominion Commissioner to the World\u2019s Fair at Chicago.Sir Charles stated that all the informal ion could be found iu the Auditor-General\u2019s report.Clearly the object of the motion was to burden the pages of Hansard with all the amounts submitted in detail by Mr.Cockburn to the House, wherein he showed that he had at one time paid ten cents for having his shoes blackened, und at some other time paid fifteen cents for a cigar to treat a visitor to the Canadian Department.The whole thing was trivial and the action of 8ir Charles iu referring the matter to the official records was the proper course.In the ordinary amenities of life a man does not ask what was the price of the ounce or two of tea which a lady may be asked to consume in the course of an afternoon call on another la ly of her acquaintance, and the same principle applies to the matter at issue.Mr.Cockburn gave a d« tailed statement of his expenditures and it is on record.That is all there is about it.Then Mr.Casey resumed the dehate on the Budget.He talked a long time, but the only thing he said of public consequence was that the Opposition are determine.! to prevent the passage of the Estimates, inis was no news, as the Chronicle said the same thing weeks ago, but it was of consequence as coming from a member of the Opposition who is personally iu the confidence of his leader.The rest of the day was squandered.As in past it went on till one o\u2019clock iu the morning in talk.Most of the few im-inhers who were in the House were asleep or dozing, but the Budget debate was closed.Mr.Speaker put the motion, nobody opposed it, the House went into Committee of Supply and passed one item.That ended what had grown into another farce.A Clover Riddle.(Exchange.) Hero is a riddle that has long gone the rounds, claiming Macaulay us its author : Cut off my head and singular 1 act, Cut off my tail and plur.il I appear ; Cut off my head and tail, and wondrous fact.Although my middle\u2019s left there\u2019s nothing there.What is my head ?A sounding sea ; What is my tail ?A flowing river ; Mid ocean\u2019s depth I fearless stray, Parent of softest sounds, yet mute forever.The answer is cod.But Macaulay was not the author.Its authorship is unknown.Some Good Horses.The American Horse Exchange promises to be a busy place next week.W.D.Grand has over three hundred high class saddle and harness horses catalogued for sale.The auction begins on Monday at three o\u2019clock, with tweniy three specially selected saddle horses, consigned by M.H.Tiohcnor tc Co., of Chicago, and Tuesday at two o\u2019clock, fifiy-three harness horses from the same consignor will be offered.There are several matched pairs in this lot, and all of the horses are young, sound and highly bred.Wednesday and Thursday the offerings include the entire stable oi Mr.Louis Onativia, (who is going ahroan for an extended trip), draught from Mitchell Harrison's Chestnut Hill Farm, and thirty six head of single drivers and matched pairs consigned by the Arnhclm Live Stock Exchange, of Pittsburg, Pa.A Society Event.The fashionable ice-skating rink in London, Niagara, has been doing an excellent business dunug the winter but the fashionables who fiequent it have been rather disturbed by the fact that many of the leading lights of the half-world have insisted on attending, and as the rink is not a private concern there is no way of keeping them out.To further add to the dismay the young men do not object and the beautiful Countess of Warwick has been leading a crusade against the men who recognize these women.At the Carnival Mrs.Langtry was present and wore such an exquisite costume that she won the prize offered.This did not add to the sweet feelings of the society crowd.It is said that women of a much lower set appeared one evening in such startling costumes that Lady Randolph Churchill, Princess Alice of Hesse and others of rank fled from the floor in dismay and escaped unobserved.Dp.Keyes Fined 9250.USED A STILL FOR MAKING SPIRITS ILLEGALLY.Dr.William M.Keyes, of Georgeville, Quebec, a prominent temperance advocate, was fined in Chambers on Saturday, by Magistrate Vallee, $-30 for using a chemical still, for the manufacture of intoxicating spirits.The Doctor, besides his profession, has been in the last two years engaged in the manufacture of a number of different patent medicines.He applied fora license from the Department of Inland Revenue to use.a chemical still for the purpose of making cedar oil and secured it.\\Vrhen Mr.Simpson, Collector at Sheibro.ke, vitited GeorgeviJe, in January, he discovered that the still was being used fer making intoxicating spirits, and instituted a case with the above result.The spirits, it is shown, were used in making patent medicines.Dr.Keyes attracted considerable attention in fighting an application made by a Georgeville resident, to obtain a retail licenss.Only the other day the good fathers of Oka were caught in a similar exploit.They were fined $500, however.This illicit still busi ness is a bad one.The Champlain Monument (To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle.) Dear Sir,\u2014A paragraph in your column of locals this morning seems to point to the possibility of Hebert\u2019s design for the Champlain Monument being substituted for that of Messrs.LeCardonuel and Chevré, of Paris, in case the latter should be impossible of execution for the limited $30,000.00.The headings under which the relative merits of the design should have besn considered were, among others, as proposed, No.4 : \u201cAdaptability to site on a side or end, as well on a rear view of the structure.No.9.Durability, permanence, persistence against disintegration, loosening at joints in regard to size of component elements and to their mode of putting together by dwelling or otherwise.\u201d Now, Sir, w hile I, like the jury, was, so to say, taken by storm on a front view of the selected design, which iu respect to artistic treatment, as so viewed, unites the suffrages of everyone, judges, Committee, connowseurs, and the general public, on account of the exquisite beauty of the grouping, reminding one of the wcrld-renowned allegorical subject facing on the Place de 1'Opera from the new Opera House, Paris ; a side view of the proposed monument is not as satisfactory as that of Hebert\u2019s design, which is better balanced, in view of its more stable equilibrium and its regularity of pedestal, by being equally salient in the rear ; and I am the more surprised at the jury not having noticed this, as in the Hill model, the monument was considered unbalanced on account of tbe salient arm of tbe artistically wrought figure of the Indian chief calling the attention of his tribe to the incoming vessel of Champlain.The same object ion no being noticed in the Oardonnel and Chevré design, is due to the fact that the model was so placed or in such proximity to its neighbors (only enough room to pass between them) that no convenient side view could be had of the structure.Now, another essential which has been overlooked by tbe jury is a consideration of the aspect of the proposed monument as seen from the rear or by the frequenters in thousands of Dufferin Terrace.In this respect also is Hebert\u2019s design more suitable to the site chosen, it having a splendid grouping of allegorical subjects to the rear as w'ell as to the front.If the Parisian artists, without extra charge, could be induced to give the rear of the pedestal the same salient features as the front, and put in a group of statuary there facing on the Terrace, the selected monument would then be perfect in ariistic merit in its proportions as viewed from all sides, and in these respects the most acceptable of &:1 the designs submitted.But there is one more important matter for consideration.The Committee must not only insist, even at additional cost, if any, on an additional allegorical grmifJfacing towards the K»st with its accompanying increase in width of pedestal on that side ; but stipulate for much larger component or construction elements, a* in respect to durability the selected design if execute*!, as shown on sec lions thereof, with stones of even less than two feet in length and less in depth, the whole filled in between with mere rubble masonry and though even put together with the best of Portland cement, and pointed therewi h \u2014the monument, I say, will not on such a site have withstood the disintegrating force of the elements in such a climate AUCTION SALES.BY LEMIEUX, GALE & CO.j^TJOTIOJSr BY LEMIEUX, GALE & CO.WE HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO sell by auction, at 10 A.M.on TUESDAY, the 3rd of March next, at the office of V.\\V.La Hue,

McCallum\u2019s bill to amend the Railway Act was passed through Committee and stands for a third reading on Monday.In moving the second reading of the Act to amend the Act respecting the adulteration of food, which is Dr.Sptoule\u2019s bill for the prevention of the adulteration of honey, Senator Ferguson thought the principle of the bill a good one.He had some doubts, however, as to the way in which it was proposed in the hill to secure the objects sought after.The bill required the most careful considerati* ¦ and he moved that it be taken into comsideia tion of the Comndttte of the whole House on Monday.There was a lengthy debate in Committ'-e on the bill of Senator Wood respecting certain female offenders in the Province of New Brunswick.The bill gives the Poliie Magistrate of the City of Si.John power to sentence Roman Catholic Crimea to an extended tence of imprisonment in the GoodjShepherd\u2019s Reformatory, instead of the sentence provided in the Criminal Code of imprisonment in the common jail.Senator Adams sai i it was preposterous that power should be given a Police Magistrate to senteuce a young girl of sixteen years to imprisonment for three years and eleven months in this Reformatory, when tries on a long succession of old boots and shoe» of every variety and size, until at last he finds her missing shoe.The groom redeems it for a good price, which is spent in treating the company.All this is according to the regular programme.But if the groom is not watchful they steal the bride\u2019s hat and cloak which he must redeem in the same way and they have been known to steal the bride, for which there must be liberal pay.The church forbids round dances, so they content themselves with contra dances.The event of the evening is the jig, is which a guest | volunteers to outdance the bride.If successful the vBitor demands a prize from the groom.\u2014Chicago Herald.ultimately failing takeably revealed themselves.It has been argued that it will cost nothing more to import Belgian, Aberdeen or^ other granite for the purpose than to build the memorial of Canadian produce.This may be true of stone of small dimensions, but as the component blocks should ail average at least a ton or two in weight, or from 13 to 26 feet in cubical dimensions, (better still, from three to five tons), may be it would be better to restrict the builders to our Canadian stan-_ stead (the beautiful stone to be seen enclosing the Parliament grounds, Quebec), the stone from the Mikwik quarries along the Q.4 L.St.J.Railway, (see the enclosure wallaround the Court House) or the beautifully tinted material of like name from the Pareut-Voyer quarries, bordering on the Riviere à Pierre district of the same railway.lu concluëioo, I would c&y that while we can

Magistrates power to sentence persona found guilty of a crime to the common jail or to a reformatory when it was so provided by law, and it was under the Code that that power to increase the common jail sentence in the case of a prisoner being sent to a reformatory was vested in the Judge.He pointed out the different intent of imprisoning in the common jail, which was punishment for crime, and confinement in a reformatory, which was in connection with an attempt to reform, to show the reason for the longer sentence in the one case than in the other.Senator Macdonald, Victoria, thought the bill an outrageous one, which would override the criminal law of the land.Senator Boulton thought it possible that Maprled Him at Once.THE LADIES OF TRISTAN d\u2019aCUNHA ARE IN SERIOUS

FORMER LITERARY SCHOOL.Arsene Hoitesaye was the last conspicuous survivor of that older school of French litterateurs of which Hugo and Gautier, Lamartine and Jules Janin, Balzac, the Gerar- dtns,

and lifts the mind up to a level with the author himself.Whether he dallies with the roses in strophes of ardent p >e»y, or plunges into the conflicting theories of modern and scholastic coteries, or initiates us into the mysteries of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's heart, he has the necromancy of being able to excite the attention and to appeal irresistibly to the imagination.\t.\t, Besides literature
