Fry, Esq., Quebec losee an enterprising and leading merchant and ship owner, who, some years ago, did a very large and lucrative business.He commanded the respect and esteem of everybody.He possessed great ability, was upright in all his dealings, and his knowledge of the commercial life of the port was equalled by few of his confreres.V He occupied several positions of honor, at the hands of hts fellow-citizens.He was a very good writer on questions of trade and navigation, and he leaves behind him an ably written volume entitled : Ti.e Historv of North Atlantic Steam Navigation.This work was published, only a few months ago, in London.It is very complete, the author having had full access to all the records necessary, and his large personal acquaintance with the whole period embraced in his subject, enabled him to speak with authority.He was present at the launch of the first steamship built for the North Atlantic trade, the \u201cGreat Western,\u201d in 1837, and also he witnessed the launch of the first ocean screw steamship, the \u201cGreat Britain.\u201d He watched every Atlantic steamship with keen interest for nearly sixty years.He crossed the Atlantic thirty-seven times.In his book Mr.Fr\\ tells the story of the famous \u201cRoyal William,\u201d about which so much controversy arose in these column* a few years ago.The author wrote several pamphlets of importance^ and his many letters to the newspapers on various phases of business enterprise, were full of clear and convincing arguments and information.As Lloyds Agent, ho die! good and conscientious work for the port and his em ployers.He was once President of the Dominion Board of Trade.Mr.tR'Y s serious illness some years «go, necessitated his withdrawal from active life, and b went to live at Sweetsburg.His large circle of friends and relatives will mourn the loss of one, who was ever dear to them.He was seventy years of ago when he passed away.Little of value was accomplished, as a result of the great Conservative caucus.No member of the Government had been asked to attend, and several prominent members of the party, though asked, stayed away.The speeches differed a good deal in sentiment, and the disgruntled men in the group did not find every thingto their liking.It was by no means plain sailing, and two or three times there were visible signs of breakers ahead.The conciliatory remarks of Sir Donald Smyth had a good effect.The audience listened to him attentively, and the speakerand his speech were much di-cussed afterwards, by little knots of politicians.Another caucus, either to-day or to-morrow, will be held.In the meantim \\ the members of the Cabinet will be seen, with a view of having the Remedial Bill withdrawn.It is not-probable that the measure will be dropped, for Sir Mackenzie Bowell is still Premier, and he has given his word that he and his Government will stand or fall by the bill, no matter what happens.* Ho has pledged his name to that bill, and he is not the man to recede from any position he has once taken, nor i& he liable to break his promise.Meanwhile, Sir Mackenzie again says that lie is not going to England immediately, and that he has no intention of going there as High Commissioner for C-rnada.Should he decide later on to visit the British Isles, the object will bo to further the interests of the Pacific cable, and the fast Atlantic line of steamers.On no account, however, will he leave Canada until the vexed question of remedial legisla'ion is settled.F»om this, it would appear that the programme of the Government is not to bo interrupted, and that the second reading of the bill will take p'ace to-morrow, according to previous arrangement.pLbd that he would support the Act.\u201cHe ridiculed the plea of coercion advanced by Messrs.Davies, Martin, Muloek and others, and claimed that the only coercion which existed was that cruelly exercised against the minority.\u201c *1 have always,\u2019 said Mr.Devlin, \u2018defended fcne idea of remedial legislation and now that the Act is before the House I will give it my full and hearty support.\u2019\u201d The Toronto Mail and Empirt* Ottawa corresoondent says he is authorize l to state that the Government, after a careful consideration of the circumstances, is quite satisfied that when the vote is taken the motion for the second reading of the Remedial Bill will be carried.The leading Conservatives, he adds, freely admit the gravity of the situation.It is the more difficult in view ol another develop ment, which has to-day taken place.The correspondent adds : \u2014\u201cHitherto there ^ have been hopes of a settlement with Mr.Green-«ray.But your correspondent is informed by Sir Charles Topper, Bart., who had an interview to-day with Sir Donald Smith, that the latest effort to bring about an amicable settlement has not borne fruit.Consequently, it is no longer believed that Mr.Greenway will come to any terms whatever.Even if he were willing to rise above party considerations and remove the grievance, real or sup posed, it is highly questionable that he has the power to do so, judging from the tone of the Manitoba Legislature, so that, with the Çrospec* of an amicable settlement ended, arliament is now face to face with the proposal for legislative settlement or the alternative of throwing the troublesome question into the political arena for years to come.\u201d The Toronto IFor/ti\u2019s Ottawa correspondent siys -\u2014\u201cThe situation grows more critical for the Government, or rather they are coming to the conviction that tney will not he able\\to carry their Remedial Bill, and that they will be forced in a few days to consider what steps should be taken looking towards dissolution.\u201d Mr.Crawford\u2019s motion, in tha Ontario Legi-lature, condemning Federal interference with Manitoba, will not likely now' c me up in the House again until late tliis week,aud, in the meantime, much talk is heard on all ¦ides as to how it will be received by the members of the three parties composing the Chamber.In the first place the Opposition will be divided, for some of the occupants of the Conservative benches undoubtedly will support Mr.Howland\u2019s amendment to the resolution.The Patrons also will split on the question.Members of the farmers\u2019 party will be allowed to vote according to the die tates of his own individual conscience.Over among the supporters of the Government, the perturbation is more pronounced, perhaps, than anywhere else in the Wouae.Toe special caucus of the party, held at the Parliament Buildings to discuss the outlook, after a lengthy discussion adjourned w ithout arriving at any decision.It is understood that a special committee will e msider the question an l bring m a report at a further caucus, to be held early next week.The Attorney-General and many of his followers, it is said, would like very much to see Messrs.Crawford and Howland drop their proposed motions, as they f«.ar tooffjnd the Protestants on the one hand, and the Roman Citholic electors on the other.Our friends must not be mislead into believing that Parliament can continue to sit after April 25 next,\u201d says Le Moniteur de Levi* : \u201cTnis legislation regarding Manitoba schools may never be adopted if.its frien Is continue to believe that Parliament nan sit after that date.\u201d Ia a lengthy article Le Moniteur contends that Parliament cannot sit after April 25.Regarding the merit of the measure itself, it says that the views of the Episcopacy on it will be knoa n on March 3, and then it will state its ovn views.He Wenerved Ills Fate.( Exchange.) \u2022\u2022Who is the belle to night?\u201d asked she, He looked

is as puerile as your allegation that I have mad* certain statements to \u201ca considerable number of citizens \u2019 is false.In the first place, you have refused to admit that you wrote, signed,

doubtless well aware that l could not recover in a libel suit against you.without proof of special damage, and it would be quite impossible for me to prove that anything you have published concerning me could cause me any damage whatever.In the third place, even if I should recover against you in a libel suit, 1 have no reason to expect that I could obtain satisfaction for my judgment, and I would thus be left to pay my own costs.And, lastly, until you can induce the \u201cpersons of high standing in this city, whom you give aayour authority, to state over their own signatures that I made the statements attributed to me by you.and to give sufficient circumstance and detail to identify the time and place, and the circumstances under which the allege I statements were ma le, I shdl regard

CAREER.(Chicago Infer Occan Jiith February.J Ambrose Plamoudon, President of the Plamondon Manufacturing Company, and one of Chicago\u2019s oldest and most respected citizens, died yesterday morning after an illness of several week?, duririg which he had been slowly failing.Ambrose Plamondon was born in Quebec, Canada, in 1833.He received » common school education and when about 14 years of age moved to Oiwego, N.Y., where he learned the trade of millwright.la 1853 he was united in marriage to Miss Cecilia Higglnâ, daughter of Daniel Higgins.In 1.856 he came West, and snperiniended the building nf the Ottawa Starch Works at Ottawa, III , and afterward built several flouring mills iu different States.In 1859 he settled in Chicago and formed a partnership with Mr.John Palmer under the firm name of Palmer k Plamondon, millwrights.Both members of the firm were young and prac-tied mechanics, and started with a Joint capital of $3011.They quickly gained the confidence of the public through their good worhmauship and prompt business-like methods, and soon had all the millwright work they could attend to among the grain elevators, flouring mills, and distilleries.As the city grew in population and importance, the young and enterprising firm kept pace with its growth and prosperity, and from millwrighting their field of labor gradually extended to the in aim facture of machinery.In 1864 they moved to the present quarters, -the increase iu business making such a step imperative.In 1868 Mr.Plamondon bought out the interest of his partner and changed the name to A.Plamondon A Co., continuing under that nan^e until 1877, wh^u it assumed its present naifia of the A.Plamondon Manufacturing Company.Mr.Plamondon had associated with him in business his three sons\u2014Charles A., George, and Alfred D.0.late years ho had allowed his sons to assume the active management of the business.He wavl\u2019re-sident and principal stockholder of the A.Plamondon Manufacturing Compauy, the Saladin Pneumatic Malting Construction Company, aud the Chicago Pneumatic Malting Company, In which concerns were associated with him his sons.He was also a Director in the Fort Dearborn National Bank and a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Columbus Club, and several other organizations.H« was always noted for his conscientious and oou-servative business methods.\tv Mr.Plamondon was highly esteemed by all who knew him, on account of his noble and generous nature, and he had the faculty of making and keeping friends to a remarkable degree.Mr.Plamondon was very liberal to his family, and during his lifetime hod given to his wife and children a good share of his property and stocks.Besides the three tons mentioned, Mr.Plamondon leaves to mourn him bis wife, Cecilia B., two daughters; Mary Emily, wife of John H.Ambergof the firm of Cameron, Amberg & Co., an! Carlotte Jeanette, wife of Dr.J.B.Murphy, a brother, Peter Plamondon, and two sisters, Mrs.J.L.LeBeau and Mrs.J.S.LeBeau.The labor, the commercial, and professional worlds were all represented at the ceremonious obsequies conducted for the late Ambrose Plamondon at St.Patrick\u2019s Church, and the large representation of the visiting clergy, which by its presence in the sanctuary participated iu the services, spoke well of the part the deceased had taken in church affairs.Solemn requiem mass was celebrated at 11 o\u2019clock by Rsv.Father Mackin, of Rock I-land, assisted by Fathers Gill and Hodnett.Dr.Dunne of Columkill\u2019a was master of ceremonies, and Father Henneberry of Si.Pius\u2019 preached the funeral sermon.The most attractive floral remembrance was a miniature Fort Dearborn made of white carnations and bearing the words \u201cFort Dearborn\u201d in immortelles.This was from the directors of the Fort Dearborn Bank, with which the deceased had been identified.When the services were concluded the members of the Columbus Club and the other near friends of the deceased accompanied the remains to Calvary.A Boy 's Appearance.instant in the Wards in which there has been
