of a tho»'\u2014ûd dollars handed him in mistake for a man of a similar name, and now he has opportunity for quiet penitence in prison.THE WAR IN EGYPT.Sir Qarnet Wolsoloy\u2019s inactivity, whether it be masterly or not, still continues.The British troops at Kassasin have fought two battlea within the last few days, but both were forced upon them.Perhaps It is too much to say that the battles wore forced upon them, for they Hhowed no unwillingness apparently tomeet the cnemial though the latter were overwnelmingly strong in point of numbers, and had the advantage in position at tho commoncomont.This thoy appear to have gained by good generalship at tho opening of the engagement, and to have lost only by the superiority of the British cavalry whioh has so far divided the honors of the campaign with the blue jackets, having saved tho infantry on more than ono occasion.Tho British at Kash&s-in and, if wo aro to believe tho rather meagre despatches received from that point, tho main forco is really encamped there, have np to tho present contented themselves with remaining wholly on tho defensive.In view of the urgent necessity of hurrying through the campaign, the deadly etfects of the climate upon tho British toldiers, the formidable obstacle to a rapid^ and decisive campaign whioh tho rise of the Nilo will form, tho additional strength and prestige which Arab! will gain, the reasons for General Wolseley\u2019s inactivity must bo very strong ones.A good deal has been said about tho failure of the transport service, but it does not appear from the telegraphic reports from England, which certainly could not be suppressed, that anything is known there about the failure of tho transport service.The distance of tho front from the basis of operations at the border of the canal is so short that it seems impossible that, with a railway at his command, General Wolseley, who has always shown a genius for arranging transport service, should have failed in such a comparatively small task.It has always seemed to us more probable that he was awaiting, or was himself engaged in carrying out some as yet concealed expedition for the results of which the attack at Kassasin was delayed.Sir Garnet Wolseley has always been regarded as a brilliant soldier, who was more daring than cautious.His conduct of this campaign was characterized at first by great brilliance, and now with extreme caution.If, when he does strike, his stroke proves decisive, Sir Garnet\u2019s re-pntation will be enhanced by tho display of talents for patience which he never before gave any great evidence of possessing.Tuxsdat; SkpFkmbbr 12, 1881 looJalan itraat.Point St.Cbarla*.on .September 16th, 188X when ko*4 prlxae 'HE ANNUAL MHOW > Open to ProTlnee of Qneboc) W1U

afterward proved that the craft upset on the way to the course, and it is believed that three men shared tho boatman\u2019s watery grave.The Blue Ribbon Crusade in Britain has commended itself to largo classes of people, to whom the Salvation Army movement is almost repulsive.In fact, in the meetings of tho British Association at Southampton the bit of blue was quite conspicuous, and the abounding zeal of the wearers turned a discussion of shipping statistics into an ordinary debate on the relative merits of total abstinence and moderate drinking.Certainly had the disputants not gone beyond the question of grog rations in the navy, and the practical forcing of drinking habits upon our seamen, they would have been dealing with as serions a question of economy as could come before them.7414, Gabriel «toNL MoatrmL faint Beer Mario*.A French commander has been comporting himself very strangely on tho Newfoundland coast.He has hoisted the flag of France and offensively displayed tho insignia of that country upon British* territory.This is astounding conduct, in view of the peculiar, not to say indefinable, relations at present subsisting between Great Britain and France.Taking these rumored pranks in Newfoundland together with the harsh dealing accorded an injudicious Italian in Tunis, it looks as if.while at home Frenchmen are very earnest in peaceful professions, abroad hair-brained French officials are most reckless in bestowing affronts.The end of the coast troubles in Newfoundland will likely bo the withdrawal of Groat Britain from tho treaty giving tho French privileges within whose limits they were not content to keep.If they remain much longer upon their fishing grounds otherwise than as British subjects, there will bo constant danger of the two peoples embroiling their countries in mutual trouble.__ GAS AND ELECTRICITY.Is gas about to be superseded by electricity T This is a question which has for a good while been one of much interest to all classes of people living in cities, towns and large villages.It is one of grave importance as well to a large class of capitalists who have invested in the stock of gas com ponies.At intervals during the last five or six years the price of the stock shares of these companies have been alternately depressed and raised by reports, sometimes authentic, sometimes merely spread for tho purpose of affecting the stock, of tho sue cess or non-success of tho experiments of electricians.Of course designing speculators and stock brokers have reaped a rich harvest from these fluctuations, at the expense in too many cases of tho genuine investor.The evil effects of these rumors can only be effectively met by increased knowledge of the case, and to this end much value is to be attached to an answer to the above question from ono who has won for himself by long study and practice the name of an anthority upon this subject.It was not one of the least of the services which tho British Association for the Advancement of Science has rendered to mankind when, tho other day, it chose as its President to deliver tho opening address ono of whom it was justly said that \"in an electrical age be was \"the special representative of electricity, \"and combined tho highest theoretical \"knowledge of the subject with the \"widest application of that krow-\"ledge to practical purposes.\u2019\u2019 To Dr.C.W.Siemens the world owes, in the words of Sir John Lubbock, \u2022* fruitful im-provements in tho practical applications \"of electricity, anastatic printing, the \"chronométrie governor, the regenerator \"engine and furnace, tho regenerator gas \"furnace, tho first electric railway, tho \" electrical transmission of power, and \u201c many other applications of science too \" numerous to mention.\u201d It will be seen that Dr.Siemens has rendered important services both to gas and electricity and that he is interested in both.Dr.Siomons is the proprietor and manager, too, of several gigantic manufacturing businesses.A man who combines such wide theoretical and practical knowledge, with so much shrewd business ability, with a special knowledge of both gas and electricity, can, if it be possible for any one to do so, give a practical answer to the question.Dr.Siemens says :\t\" It can no longer bo a matter of reasonable doubt that electric-lighting will take Its place as a public illuminant, and that even though ita cost should bo found \"greater than that of gas, it will be pre-\u201c ferred for the lighting of drawing-rooms \u201c afid dining-rooms, theatres and concert \" rooms, museums, churches, warehouses, \u201c rooms of passenger BtOAmors.\u201d For harbors, railway stations and sites of public works, it is superior to any other light now.He points oat that it does not heat apart ment*, that it gives off no unwholesome gases, that giving a white light, piotures, furniture and flowers seen by it are seen ss by daylight, that it supports instead of poisoning plants, and that photography and other industries may bo pursued at night by its means as by day.It will eventually bo choaponed by the utilization of natural sources of power, such as waterfalls, tho tidal wavo and tho wind, and it may be conducted long distances.It will bo seen from this that Dr.Siemens ex pects electricity to take the place of gas as an illuminant to a very large extent.Ho also expects electricity to take its place as a motive power.On the other hand, he does not think that gas will be superseded entirely oven as au illuminant.Ho says : \"Assuming the cost of electric light to \" be practically tho same as gas, the \u201cpreference for one or other will in \" each case be decided upon grounds of \" relative convenience, but I venture to \" think that gas lighting will hold its own \" as tho poor man\u2019s friend.Gas is au \"institution of the utmost value t> the \"citizen; it requires hardly any attention, \" is supplied upon regulated terms, ami \" gives with what should be a cheerful \u201c light, a genial warmth, and often saves \" lighting a fire.\u201d He points out that gas has already been improved and cheapened as au illuminant by the competition with electricity, and predicts that it will bo still more eo.But tho use of gas will, Dr.Siemens thinks, take the place of cool for boating purposes.He shows that were coal turned into gas before used for heating the economy would be immense Tho by products of gasworks, which are all wasted or worse than wasted when coal is burned, amount to £8,370,000 or £3,000,000 more than tho value of tho coal in the first place.All this is not only lost when coal is burned, but it is felt as an evil in the shape of gases which poison our lungs and blacken and spoil every thing exposed to it.It will be seen from this that gas companies, if enterprising and energetic, have nothing to fear from electricity Gas in Canada could never have been called tho poor man\u2019s friend.It has, by its high price, been excluded from the houses of the poor, and of many whom the poor would speak of as the rich.It is just pos sible, however, that tho competition of electricity would so sharpen the wits or increase tho powers of the gas makers, 'hat it would become, what it is not now, tho poor man\u2019s friend, and enjoy a larger usefnl ?ess, as well as a more profitable existence than row, in giving light to the poor and warmth to tho world.ntUtntK Ctntury for September eon-ow poem by Alfred Tennyson.It is \"To Virgil,\u201d and was written,

and that however they might strive to preserve their integrity, it would be very hard to avoid suspicion and danger.In this temporary abode the household of the Queea and of the earl ate together in the great hall, and thus while breaking their fast m the morning Jean Kennedy found opportunity to examine Richard Talbot on all thecir-cumetanoee of the wreck of the u Bride of Dunbar,\u2019\u2019 and the finding of the babe.She was much more on her guara than the day before, and said that she had a shrewd suspicion who the babe's parents might be, but that she oould not be certain without seeing the reliquary and the scroll Richard replied that they were at home, but made no Offer of sending for them.\u201c Nor will I do so,\u201d said he to his wife, u unless I am plainly dealt with and the lady herself asks for them.Then should I have no right to detain them.\u201d M.Gorion would not allow his patient to leave her room that day, and she had to remain there while Susan was in attendance on the Queen, who did not appear to her yet to have heard of the discovery, and who was entering with zest into the routine of the plaoe where Dr.Jones might be regarded as the supreme legislator.Kach division of the great bath-hall was fitted with drying and dressing room, arranged comm odiously according to the degree of those who weie to use them.Royalty, of course, enjoyed a monopoly, and after the hot bath which the Queen took immediately after rising she breakfasted in her own apartments, and then came forth, according to the regimen of the place, by playing at Trowle Madame.?board with arches cut in, just big enough to permit the entrance of the balls used in playing at bowls, was placed on the turf at a convenient distance from the player.Each arch was numbered, from one to thirteen, but the numbers were irregularly arranged, and the K consisted in rolling bowls into the holes cession, each plaver taking a single turn, and the winner reaching the highest number fiat\u2014being, in fact, a sort of lawn bagatelle Dr.Jones recommended it as good to stretch* the rheumatic joints of his patients,and Queen Mary, an adept at all out-of-door games, delighted in it, though aha had refused an offer to have the lawn arranged for it at Sheffield, my in g that it would only spoil a Buxton da-Bght.She was still too stiff to play herself, but found infinite amusement in teaching th new comers the game, and poor.Sornn with her thoughts far away, was scarcely so apt a pupil as befitted a royal mistress, especially as she missed Mrs.Kennedy.When she came back she found that th dame had been sitting with the patient^uid had made herself very agreeable to the girl by drawing ont from her all aha knew of her own story from beginning to end, ha ring first shown that the knew of the wreck of the \u201c Bridé of Dunbar.\u201d \u201c And mother,\u2019* said Cia, \u201c she says she is nearly certain that she knows who my true parents were, and that she would be certain if she saw the swaddling clothes, and tokens you had with me.Have you, mother! I never knew of them.\u201d \u201c Tea child, I have.We did not wish to trouble and perturb your mind, little one,while you were content to be our daughter.\u201d \u201c Ah, mother, I would fain be yours and father\u2019s still.They must not take me from K, But suppose I was some great and noble \u2019¦ daughter, and had a great inheritance and lordship to give Humfrey.\u201d \u201c Alas child ! Scottish inheritances are wont to bring more strife than wealth.\u201d Nevertheless, Cis went on supposing and building castles that were pain and grief to her foreboding auditor.That evening, however, Richard called bis wife.It was uite, bat the northern sunset was only just over, and Susan oould wander oat with him on the greensward in front of the earl's house.\u201c So this is the tale we are to be put off with,\u201d be mid, M from the Queen bermlf\u2014ay, herself, and told with such an air of truth that it would almost make me discredit the scroll.She told me with one of her sweetest smiles bow a favorite kinswoman of here wedded in secret with a faithful follower of here, of the clan Hepburn.Oh, I assure you It might have been a ballad sung by a harper for its sadness.Well, this fellow ventured too far in her aervke, and had to flee to France to become an archer of the guard, while the wife remained and died at Lochleren Caetlejiaring given birth to our Cis, whom the Queen indue time dispatched to her father, he being minded to have her bred np in a French nunnery, sending her to Dumbarton to be there embarked in the M Bride of Dunbar.\u201d '' And the father ?\u201d M Ob, forsooth, the father, it ooet her as little to dispose of him as of the mother, lie was killed in some brawl with the Huguenots : so that the poor child is altogether an orphan, beholden to our care, for wnioh she thanked me with tears in her eyes, that were more true than mayhap the poor woman oould help.\u201d \"Poor lady !\u201d mid Susan.\u201d Yet can ,it not he sooth, inured ?\u201d \" Nay, dame, that may not be.The cipher is not one that would be used In Amply tending a Utter to the father.\u201d \" Might sot the occasion have been used for corresponding in secret with French friends ?\u201d »\u2022 I tell thee, wife, if 1 read one word of that Utter I read that the child wae her own, and confided to the Abbess of Boissons ! 1 will read it to thee once more ere I yield it up, that is, if I ever do.Wherefore cannot the woman speak truth to me ?I would be true and faithful were 1 trotted, but to be thus put off with lies makes a man ready at once to ride off with the whole to the Queen in coonoil.\u201d \u201c Think, but think, dear air,\u201d pleaded Susan, '\u2022 how the poor lady is pressed, and how much the has to fear on all aides.\u201d \u201cAy, because lies have been meat and drink to her, till the cannot speak a soothfast word, nor know an honest man when ehe sees him.\u201d \u201c What would she have?\u201d \u201c That Cis should remain with ns as before, and still pass for our daughter, till such time as these negotiations are over and she recover her kingdom.That is\u2014so far as I see\u2014like not to be till latter Lammas\u2014but meantime what rayeet thou, Susan P Ah! I knew; anything to keep the child with thee! Well,be It so\u2014thongn if I had known the web wo were to be wound into, I\u2019d have sailed for the Indies with Humfrey long ago i\u201d (To *o C^ntinmd.) HUSKS OR BREAD.BY WILLIAM H0&&II Bl'BB.\u201c Where's that boy ?If be ain't on hand to ont bands as soon\u2019s the men are ready to go to thrashing, I'll thrash him and Farmer Baker emphasized his threat by kicking over a chair which he himself had left in the middle of the floor a few minutes before.\" I tell you, Jane, he\u2019U have to find bread and batter somewhore else, if he don't \u2019tend to his business better.The scamp don\u2019t earn his salt.Yesterday he stood there lost like a dummy, onttin\u2019 bands, and never «aid a word to nobody all day long ; an\u2019 jest as soon's the machine stopped he vanished instead of stayin\u2019 friendly-like with the men, as he\u2019d ought to.I won\u2019t have him around here no longer, if he don\u2019t quit his mopin\u2019 and work like other folks and the prostrate chair received another kick.\" More\u2019n likely he\u2019s curled np in some fence-corner read in' a book,\u201d snapped Betsy, the farmer\u2019s \u201c first wife's child.\u201d \u201c He U, mostly, when you don't make him do somethin' elre.He swears by what folks in books say, and don't care nothin\u2019 for what\u2019s told him by flesh-and-hlood people.'Tother day,\u201d she continued, as she lifted a big brass kettle full of water from the floor to the stove, \u201c he began his ever-lastin' ' Well, you know, Betsy, Shakespeare says\u2014' and then I jest told him te shet up, for I didn\u2019t care what Shakespeare said.Some folks think people that writes is kind o\u2019 gods or somethin' to he worshipped, but I tell you they\u2019re no better'n other folks.I saw one of 'em once when I was up to Milton\u2014a woman writer\u2014an\u2019 la ! ehe didn't look any diflerent'n the rest of ns.\u201d With a pitchfork on his shoulder, Farmer Baker thuffied toward the door, remarking in an nedertone, just loud enough for every word to be heard by his wife : \u201c I'll give the young man a lesson ho can\u2019t learn from no book, if he don\u2019t turn in an' work better'n he\u2019s been doin\u2019.\u201d Mrs.Baker plunged her hands into the mass of bread.dongh before her with a little more energy, bent her head a little lower, but in no other way manifested that she had heard the words of her husband and his snappy daughter, though tbev had fallen like so many red-hot coals upon her heart, and lay there burning (heir way fiercely in, threatening to consume whst little sweetness she had hoped was still there.She was glsd she was kneading dough at the time, for there seemed to be a something rising np within her which might have been hurled at her small-hearted husband had it not lent its force to the rigorous thumps into that mass of dongh ; and she well knew that words flung at him, at such a time, would fall flat as leaden ballets shot against a boulder.\"I must try to find some other plaoe for Ned,\u2019* she «id to herself, when the fanner had taken himself off to the barn and Betsy had run ont to drive from the yard a half-dozen hogs that had broken through the old fence.\u201cJohn either can\u2019t or won\u2019t understand him, and it is sheaves were thrown to him in quick succession he cut the bands meobanioally, but his mind was upon other things.He had been reading \u201c As You Like It\u201d that morning, and one m uoh *\u2019 not wonder that the words which lingered In his mind and seemed to crowd out for a time other words he had just read were those of Orlando : \u2022Khali 1 keep your hogs, and eat hoiks with thimt \u201c I think I might be willing to give some .life U he would no place for a fine-grained boy like him, grow ing np with theee coarse natures.All the sweetness will soon be ground out of him, and I won't have it eo when he has in him the making of a true man.There\u2019ll he nothing here for me if he goee, bat Til endure, and get comfort from the thought that Ned's life is not being cramped ss mine has been since I came here.\u201d The year before Mrs.Baker\u2019s only sister had been brought up from the village to \u201c the farm \u201d to die.When, after a few weeks, the mother-form that Ned had loved so well, was laid in ita narrow resting-place in \"God\u2019s acre,\u201d there seemed to be no home for him but the farm ; and here ho had lived for a year, a quiet, sensitive boy, who found companions in the trees and flowers and wild creatures of the woods, and foes in the people with whom his lot was cast.All but his aunt, and only the mother-heart of the one who passed away could have shielded and sympathiz'd with his deep, qoiet nature, as did the heart of this noble woman, henelf a victim to one man\u2019s ignorance and narrowness.\t.When Fanner Baker reached the barn that began at once a series of petty persecutions which he rceolved to keep np until he should himself of his hated succeed in ridding nephew.\u201c Where have you been, young man ?\u201d he asked, in a tone containing no hint of gentle- \" Here at the bam for the last half-hour,\u201d replied Ned.A look of surprise came to the face of the farmer as he tamed his head, but it had given plac- to an unusual sternness when he again tamed his eyes full upon! the boy, and askod : \u201c What have yon been doing Î\u201d \" I sat here reading while the men were getting the herses ready.\u201d \u201cHeadin\u2019, eh! No man\u2019s readin\u2019 ever thrashed bis grain.Next time, young man, you help the men with the horses.There\u2019s no time on this farm to be wasted on love-stories and poetry.\u201d Jost then the sharp crack of the driver\u2019s whip was heard, the machine began its internal working, a sheaf of grain wae thrown from the mow above, and the work of the day began.You would have seen only a boy standing before the machine cutting bands had you passed thst way on thu day ; hat the boy pc «eased a mind to appreciate the good, the true and the beautiful hi the world, a mind that could no* be blocked up by the merely mechanical.bat reached out toward that which gives to lue in this work-a-dsy world its enthusiasm, its hope, Us growth.Little of heartiness did ths boy give to the task before him.As the attention to bis hogs all my only show some sympathy with the things which are everything to me,\u201d was the ohurao-ter of Ned\u2019s thought; \u201cbut 1 am not willing to eat husks with them all my Ufa long, and I won\u2019t.I shall tell Aunt Jane to-night that I am going to take the very first job that I oan find that will throw me into more congenial surroundings and afford me some time for study.I ought to be spending this time in school preparing for college ; but if I can't do that I'll do the next best thing.\u201d And so Ned Wright stood at his post ontting bands mechanically, and dreaming dreams of grand possibilities in the future, until sonio time in the afternoon, when the machine suddenly stopped.Something had given out.\u201c While they are fixing the maohine I oan read 1\u201d mid Ned, taking an old copy of Shake- rre from his pooket, one of the few books had been in nia village home ; and a moment later Western Reserve farmers and their thrashing machines were all forgotten and the boy walked in the foreat of Arden with the dnke and his lords.'* And Ibis oar lift, ixempt from public lisants, Finds toBRnet in trees, books in the rannintc brooks, Stimons in stours, and freed In everything.\u201d \u201c \u2014 Reedin\u2019 agin, you lazy lout P What are you settin\u2019 here for, doin' nothin', when all the reel\u2019s at the machine ?\u201d The angry voice of his ancle thus broke in Ine angry voice oi ms unoie inns oroxe in upon the foreat scene, and looking up Ned saw a face black with passion, and eyes fall of hat- red glowering upon him.\u201c There wai was nothing I could do to fix the machine, Uncle John, and I thought I might as well read as to stand there in the way doing nothing.\u201d \u201c Don\u2019t speak to me in that way, you milk-faced fool.hissed his nude.And then the fork he held iu his baud was raised, and in his fury the farmer struck the boy a fearful blow which laid him senseless upon the barn floor.In an instant all was confusion.The men, leaving the machine, rushed to the spot where the conscience-stricken farmer stood, white-faced and motionless, gazing at the prostrate form of the boy before him.There were rough-handed fcnt kind-hearted men among them who, paying no attention to the terrified man, tenderly cared for the boy until signs of returning consciousness were seen.Then they carried him to the house.\u201c If it has come to this, John Baker, when it\u2019s as xnnch as one's life is worth to live with you, I think it's time for you to see that your way ain't the right way !\u201d said Mrs.Baker to her bnsband that night as he sat in ths kitchen wrapped in his though ta aud speaking to no one ; then she left him alone in the dark room, and went to minister to Ned.\u201c1 think.Aunt Jane,\u201d raid Ned, the next day, \u201c that it will b3 best for me to look for work somewhere as soon as possible.I must fo seme time, and the sooner the better, I think.hate to go away from you, but perhaps I otn do more for you away than I oan to stay here.Mother used to tell me that tbo Lord would never have given me my love for bookv and such things if he hadn't meant that I should have those thing», to enjoy ; and I\u2019m going to stick to that thought.Books I'm going to have, and as I can't get them any other way I\u2019ll earn them, and the leisure to enjoy them, too.\u201d \u201c Mrs.Coulter told me this morning that the editor up at Milton had advertised for a hand to oome aud learn the printing buaineas.Perhaps yoa\u2019d better write to him ; you'd like that Iter\t.better than anything else,\u201d «id Mrs.Baker, Ned's heart and eyes too, were full in an instant.Of all plaoés, none woold please him better to start in than a printing office.The letter was sent, and a few days later Ned began to work at the case.Years have passed since then.In the high-school building of a Western city the annual meeting of the State Teachers\u2019 Association is in session.The retiring president rises to deliver the annual address, and down in the audience site a faded little woman who looks as if her life-path had been nothing but roughness until this moment.The speaker is Prof.Edward Wright, hia happy auditor hia aunt, Jane Baker.He has chosen for hia aubjeot \u201cThe Poetic Principle.\u201d The address closes with these words from Wordsworth : \u201c My heart leaps np when I behold ?rainbow hi the aky : So was it wben my life began, Ko is it now I am a man.So bs it when I shall grow oil, Or 1st ms die !'' \u2014Church and Homi.INSUFFICIENT CLOTHING FOR WINTER.There are at the present time numberless children and young girls to be met with who are not sufficiently dressed for the present season.You can see it by their faces, that they suffer, although, perhaps, they would not own it themselves.The want of smoothness and moisture In the akin, the hectic spot on the cheek, the narrow, compressed chest, the sharp breath, the doll eyes, the wan cheek\u2014all show that there is not enoogh warmth in the blood to keep up vitality, and that they are insufficiently clothed.You see short skirts in the children, allowing the air to go up their tender limbs.?jacket is believed all that is needed whan theee children pass from an over-heated house to the cold atmosphere without, and that is not sufficient for their protection.Many mothers leave the chest of their little ones unprotected.It would be far better to send very young children more out in the winter than keep them indoors and afraid to let them be in the cold air.If properly clothed, the youngest baby will be the nealthier for inhaling fresh air.The hygiene of clothing is as vet little understood, hot the time is approaching, when it will be,and when we shall know that ths texture of a material may either make it a bad or good heat conductor, and consequently, a fit or unfit substance to wear in winter weather.Nothing is for children more neoeesary than that the trunk of the body should be well protected; the arms and legs, from the knees downward, will be warm if the trank of the body is thoroughly covered and warmed.There is no necessity to have ogly clothing, on the contrary, these knitted garments oan be made of the prettiest colors and of nice dinging shapes.Let us warn mothers against having no skirts for young children, or perhaps only one for ths enter dress.A double or treble skirt, even if short, will not allow the cold to play lonnd the trunk of the body, and It is that which must be kept warm, espedally in girls.Boys would do very well, till they are six or seven years old, to Keep up thn thick pleated short skirt, of the Boottish Highlanders, in their outer garment.Made of plaid material, it is pretty and exceedingly warmth-giving.You may see numbers of young girls in care dressed insufficiently, By their appearanoo you can judge that is not through the want of means, but from fancy.The thin scanty skirt and the light jacket show that the season's need is not thought of.There is always a painful expression on the faces of these girls ; there is no case in there movements, and they \u2022it shivering in corners, not able to draw themselves up, but bending their heads down and throwing their arms forward.Whst future do they not provide for themselves, their husbanus and children ?The doctor will have a long bill for them : ill-health will follow them through life, and maybe they will find an early grave.See with what easy graoo a well-olad woman, girl or child bears the wintry weather and freely breathes the exhilarating air I How they enjoy it, and how, instead of shivering with cold, tbetr blood is warmed aud bounds in their veins, tinging.thelr cheeks%itha beautiful faint red, and not discoloring their lips with that bluish color, which bespeaks a defective circulation.Three layers of clothing are needed in winter\u2019 and if these are to carry out a thorough heating system, they shonkl be of different textures.It is almost a crime to allow children and young girls insufficiently dressed to go ont from rooms, kept far too hot, into an atmosphere which must be a sudden and severe shock to them.\u2014/cod and Health LIGHT ON THE DAILY PATH.Sbptkkbkb 12.Double.They spaak vanity every one with his neighbor: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.\u2014Psalm xii.2.A doublo-minded man is unstable in all his ways.\u2014James i.8.Of Zebnlon, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank : they were not of doable heart.\u20141 Chronicles xll.33.Board and Rooms.ADTEKTIliKMKNTS of Uo.lv »i*J Koonn CutrKS undtr (Ala AmS «a tM roag a/lULF-CtNT FEK WUBD »«A (««t**, frtpmid.JJOARD\u2014Vacancies^ 130 Mkfuflold itrest.\u2014Boarders can lie aecoin- mediated.Alio, Day Board, at 151 h St, Antoine itroot.R GUMS\u2014Untarnished Rooms to I«t Addreai 341 8t.Antoine atreoU \"DOOMS.\u2014Clergymen and others XV Tlottlns the city will find good itoomi with flnt-clooa Board at 87 Cathedral »t.ROOMS.\u2014Unfurnished Rooms to let In «mall private family : use of kitchen if do-\u2022trod.Apply »o 101 SL Louis street, R OOMS, furnished, en suite or or eingle.1373 St.Catherine street.R OOMS.898 Dorchester it., near the Windier.ROOMS.\u2014Two handsome rooms, Beaver Hall Terraoe.B.C, \u2022'Witness\u201d Offloe.1 \"DOOM.\u2014Single Room vacant.XV\t048 Palace at \"DOOM XV room, .\u2014To let, double furnished room, with part board.8 Berthelet street.R OOM.\u2014To let, a furnished room.DO Catheart street.\"DOOMS.\u2014Furnished rooms with XV breakfast and tea.40 Osborne street.Room , Breakfast and Tea.108 Stanley street.R OOM, large front room.03 St.Antoine street.R OOMS.\u2014To Let, two good front Roomi, unfurnished, G26 Albert street.near FCJLrORl).R OOMS to Let, with or without Board.Apply 49 Aylmer it.\"Q OOM.\u2014Furnished Bedroom, use XV of parlor end kltcnen.12 Mount St.Mario Avenue, between A«inednot and Ouy.R OOM,\u2014An Unfurnished Front Room ;

among other things that Polan selected the umpires, while O'Connell did not appoint Mangaa, but accopted him on suggot-tlon, desiring to meet Polan\u2019s wish to have an Irish Catholic; that Polan accepted Mangan unconditionally ; and that the President could not change tno appointment: that the whole actien of the Independents was legal and constitutional : and that as Mr.Mangan was the properly appointed re feree the championship match was won by the Independents, as declared by him.Then follows a declaration by Morgan O\u2019Connell.Hay Market Clerk, made before O.It W.Kittson, notary.Mr.O\u2019Conueil gives the facta as before stated: that Mr.Polan named his umpires and said he would like an Irish Catholic referee.\u201c Before I could answer, Dr.Hannon, ono of the gentlemen present suggested Mr.Thomas Mangan, of Point St Charles, as referee, and 1 stated, \u201cAll right I'll Uke him.\u201d and Sir.Polan chimed In, saying.\u201cYes.and I'll accept bln.too.\u201d It Is also declared that O'Connell and Polan then had a few minutes\u2019 private conversation, in which tho latter said, \u2022\u2022 I\u2019m afraid some of the boys will not like Mangan, and be down on me for accepting him Bat O'Connell urged him to assert bis authority as captain and not go on the field if his choice was not taken, to which Po\u2019an replied, \u2022* All right, I will.\u201d and left It Is declared that I olan admitted this account of tho conversa-tlou to be correct.A declaration by Mr.Daniel Phelan.J.P., is to the same effect and states that Polan acknowledged befor*- him that O\u2019Connell\u2019s account of the private conversation was correct.Mr.J.J.Walker and Dr.*M.M.Kannon declare the same admission to have Deen made in their presence.Mr.Alex.McArthur, Mr.Robt Geo.Taylor, and Mr.W.McMaster, jr , all declare that Mr.Polan acknowledged before them that he had accepted Mangan as referee a shade weaker.Telegraph waa >g weaktr.Oaa opened eteady at 107 and aold down IQ percent, bnt opened ataaJy again in the afternoon at 107 and kepi at between 106Q nnd 197.at whleh the laet aals was made.Richellen waa ke percent weaker at 724».City Gas waa Araly held at 162Q, 160 bid.fit Paul opened 1 percent weaker at 16(1 and flnetnated betwaen that and 105 Q daring the day, cloelng at the latter Agora.Morningaale* : 50 Montreal at 213 : lOat212Q 28 Rich ange nt 183 : 65 Toronto at 195Q ;
