Loris N.Parker.Electricity iu the Catacombs.( Pali Mall Gazette ) The visitor to Italy complains of modern steam tugs on the Grand Canal in Venice, and the new-fangled ideas of cleanliness in the streets of Naples and the new quarters in Rome, but the height of the prosaic seems to have been reached with the illumination of the catacombs by electric light.No more dim distance in which one must take care not to be lost, no more monk guides holding lighted tapers, no more darkness, mystery and imagination.On the fesst of St.Cecilia, the catacombes of St.Calixtus, where the Roman virgin was buried in 177 A.D., were for the first time all glowing and glaring with thonsands of electric globes, illuminatiog even the most remote corners, and giving to the whole a mundane rather than a mystic air.These catacombs are outside the Porta San Sabastiaoo, on the magnificent Appian Way, that the Romans called the Qusen road, and near the world renowned tomb of Cecilia Mrtella.St.Cecilia is not the only prominent martyr of the early Christian era «hose name is connected with this burial place, for i\u2019he remains lie there of several Popes cf the third century, as witness the original tomoc of St.Autherus, St.Fabian, St.Lucius, St.Cornelius and St.Entychianus, who all sat in the chair of St.Peter.Thousaods of Romans and foreigners witnessed the illumination.The crowd itself formed a picturesque view, as from below one looked up at the pilgrims descending and ascending the long, sleep flignt of stairs, or at the long processions of cowled monks and black robed nuns showing in vivid contrast to groups of students of the German College in their scarlet gowns, a garb that causes them to be oaiied, in fun, the little cardinals.The corridors responded in echoes to their chants at the different altars, while there was a subdued hum from the less devout sightseers.The most interesting spot is where St.Cecilia\u2019s tomb was fouod, and Where also stands a copy of the statue of the aaiut, designed by Muderodo, representing her after her martyrdom.Next stands a most interesting marble tablet, the inscription on which was originally a Pegan one dedicated to Marcus Aurelias.The Christians utilized the tablet by turning it and writing on the back a new epitaph to Pope St.Damasos.IRIE ZBIBOUSTS.Dress Satins\u2014In Cream, at 78c.and $1.10.In Sky, Pink, Coral, Maize and Nil Green, 78c.Crsam Pongee\u2014At 55c.35c.White at White Broche Silk\u2014At $1 19 Orepon\u2014In Cream, at Blouse Silk 45c.Fancy Silk at 58c.Orepons\u2014For Blouses, Evening Kids In White and Tan Suede, long, only ?1.58.Lace Handkerchief\u2019s \u2014At 78c., 98c., $1.10.58c.ALL SALES STRICTLY GASH FABRIQUE STREET.January 7, 1F93.1307\u2014Winter Sailings-1898.BEAVER\" LINE ROYAL MAIL STEAMSHIPS.Sailing Weekly between St.John, N.B, and Liverpool.rallias al Halifax aad Havllle, Ireland, each way.Steamers.\tFiona St.John.LAKE SUPERIOR.January\t5 GALLIA.\u201c\t12 LAKE WINNIPEG.\u201c\t19 LAKE ONTARIO.\u201c\t26 LAKE HURON.February Steamers sail from ST.JOHN, WKDNE8 DAYS, from HALIFAX, THURSDAYS, ou arrival of the Intercoloaial Express due at 1.80 p.m.FIRST CABIN\u2014Single, $50 to $60 ; return, $100 to $114.according to steamer selected.SECOND CABIN\u2014To Liverpool or London, $t4 ; return, $->6.75 ; Glasgow, $37 65 ; return, $74.05 ; Belfast, $35.25 ; return, $69.25.STEERAGE\u2014To Liverpool, London, Glasgow, Londonderry and Belfast, $22.50.For further particulars as to freight or pas-saga, apply to GEO.M.WEBSTER & CO.January 1, 18.8.\ttu thftsa-tml BRUT JSNUARÎ Sill -OF- CLOTH JMETS!

C.Scott was cool and effective; but has played a little better.As for Watson he was not so effective as in the Montreal match, for he did not stop the puck as much, and he was quite a bit off in his liftiug.Still his game was by no means weak.Of the forwards Gillespie undoubtedly shone preeminently.He is in pretty good condiliou and has a goud style of bolding the pdek with his slick.His shots on goal were, however, weak and did not raise enough.Arthur Smith played a good, cool gentlemanly game, but is away off in form and speed, His recent illness, however, excuses him.Arthur Scott played a nervy and heady game all through, and when in good shape will make the best of them hustle.As for \u201cDollie\" Swift, he fairly earned his place on the leatn, by many streaks of his old dash and tire.He has greatly improved in his passing, but should use both hands on his stick.He loo can come up a lot in speed and lasting power.All of the forwards need to start quicker and they should be sharper and show less hesitation in their passing.They often allowed their men to cover them by trying to dodge the cover point and so losing time.Strict attention to off side play, sharp passing, better shooting and more speed and stay are what the team require and they are fully capable of it with couscientions hard work.-Aa for the Ottawa team Chittick made dozens of good stops, Pulford fouled a good deal but played a cool game and Young sbow< ed up aa well as ever, though indulging in Îaite a lot of his old time very neat tripping.lia roahw as of old were decidedly danger-om.Waatwick played the beat game of the forward line, and SpUtal was a good second to Mm.UFing was not up to hia usual form Mid Hatohaeon more than found a match in Gillmpie.Still the Ottawa combination when it got working 'was decidedly dangerous.Referee Drinltwater and all the offioiak jrere highly aatiafactorv.Sailing Directory -OF- Transatlantic Steamers.Line.Steamer.Sails.Destination.American.'>Tcw York- do do do Allan, do , ÎÎ Anchor-.do do At.Trans.do do do Beaver.do do do Cle- Ole.Tr&ns&tlan do do Cunard.do do do Dominion.do do Ham.Am do do do Hoi.Amer, do do N.Ger.Lid do do do do do do Red Star do do do Paris 8t.Louis.New Vork .Lnurentian.Numidian .Carthaginian Mongolian.Purfiessia.Ethiopia.Anchoria.Mobile.Massachusetts Manitoba.Mississippi Gallia.Lake Win\u2019peg Lake Ontario.Lake Huron-La Gascogne.La Normandie La Champagne ijii Bretagne.Umbria.Servie.Campania .Anrania.Sr \u2018sman.Canada.Ta ador.Patria.Pennsylvania.Palftiia.Prussia.Spaamdam.Rotterdam.Obdam.Trave.Lahn.Saale .Havel.Werra.F.Bismarck-.Ker Wilh.IT-Southwark.Berlin.Voordland.Friesland.White Star Teutonic do do do Britannic.Majestic.Germanic .Jim.do do Feb.Jan.do \u2022do Feb.Jan.do Feb.Jan.do do Feb.Jan.do Fell0 Jan.do do Feb.Jan.do do Feb, Jan.Feb!

their applause, which was in no manner stinted.The play itself was well staged.The specialties, which included Mrs.F.H.Frost\u2019s clever and neat little step dance which that clever little lady carried out in all its neatnrs4, and receiving for her reward considerable applause, was a gem iu its own line, not to speak of tier singing in the c >on dialect which the audience invariably look for and are seldom disappointed as one of the best features of the show.Miss Mabel Frost gave furth-r tt-s imony that she can do a great deal in the soubrette line, ur d her own special triends outclipsed themselves in their endeavors to demonstrate their appreciation of her in ibis, to them, novel feature.The ilbrnrated songs of Messrs.Rainville and Osgood were again loudly applauded, and deservedly

rendered and brought down the house, This young lady\u2019s costumes are some of the richest ever seen on a stage in this city.The Troubadours.French duettiste, made a tremendous hit iu their sr<

throughout all animated natnre.The ove of pleasure is as much a natural appetite .s the love of food.We may safely assume, herefure, that ita gratification, when ationally indulged, serves some use-ul and important purpose.All ec-uiry not only confirms this, but shows hat pleasure is a necessity, morally, meo->lly, and physically.If this be so, the asceticism which condemns all pleasure is as immoral as it is foolish.Our desires seek a great diversity of objects.These may be worthy or unworthy, and our methods of attaining them right or wrong.Bub the end purposed is pleasure, and frequently its mere pursuit brings about a modified gratification.There is a wide die-tiction, however, between pleasure and happiness, because pleasure may be virtuous or vicious, whereas happiness uecessarily consists in the former.Socrates beautifully described happiness as \u201cunrepented pleasure.\u201d And it must be self evident that the pleasures which need no repentance are those alone which are worthy of attainment.Prudence ia their basis.The great founder of the philosophy of pleasure, Epicurus, the best abused aud most misunderstood of the Greek sages, said ; \u201cAll other virtues grow from prudonoe, whLh teaches that we cannot live pleasurably without living justly aud virtuously, nor live justly and virtuously without living pleasurably.\u201d Unfortunately, the \u201creligioua\u201d have frequently denounced all pleasure, confounding the evil with the good, and many poets and philosophers have followed in their wake.Thus Cowpcr writes of it as \u201cThat reeling goddess with a zmeless waist.\" says : \u201cAnd pain and pleasure e\u2019er shall be, As Plato says, in company.Receive the one, and soon the other Will follow to rejoin his brother.\u201d Dryden, by a grots simile, opposes pleasure to industry, and asks : \u2019?Will any dog Refinedly leave his bitches and bis bones To turn a Wheel ?\u201d All these, however, refer to that false and short-lived gratification which does not make for happiness, but rather destroys in those that indulge them, the power to enjoy true pleasuie, \u201cUnknown to them when sensual pleasures cloy, To fill the languid pause with finer joy.\u201d What real pleasure is,the celebrated Tillot-son iu oue of his seimons partly informs us : \u201cTnere is a great pleasure in being innocent, because that prevents g lilt and trouble.It is pleasant to be virtuous and good, because that is to excel mauy others ; it is pleasant to grow belter, bcc.use that is to excel ourselves.Nay, it is pleasant even to mortify and subdue our lusts, because that is victory ; it is pleasant to command our appetites and passions, and to keep them in due order, within the bounds of reason and religion, because this is a kind of empire\u2014this is to govern.\u201d Our desires and tastes are so numerous, that our pleasures should be almost numberless, yet we obtain few through want of prudence, or through senseless prohibitions.FOR BILIOUS AND NERVOUS DISORDERS such as Wind and Pain in the Stomach, Giddiness, Fuluess after meals.Headache.Dizziness.Drowsiness.Flushincs of Heat, Loss of Appetite, Cost iven
