Ah ! Whenever a social difficulty at Les you have to come to this journal to FUggest the right way to overcome It.In this matter of furnishing medical schools with bodies for dissection, we can, In lesa than a jlffey.point out the proper course to take.Let a law be passed enacting that the body of every dead Canadian senator shall go to the dissecting table, and you not only supply a long felt want but you give an actual value to men who In their lives were useless.Besides It will moderate the demand for senatorial honors.If the principle were extended to M.P.'s it might be found advantageous.But by all means pass a law devising tbe bodies of dead senators to the medical colleges.This shonld be done at once.Its effect would be excellent\u2014Bobcoy geon Independent.THU MUSICAL WOULD.18 IT EXTENDING ITS INFLUENCE IN * MONTREAL nOME TALK WITH DXALKRh IN MUMOAL INSTRUMENTS-DIFFHUSNOF.S OF OPINION\u2014A 01 OIOEO ADVANCE IN EXTENT AND CLASS OF MUSIC.In dealing with the theory advanced by a contompoiary Kopie time apo that Montreal was going backward Instead ot progressing In literature, enough was publlstitd to show that there was no foundation for tho assertion.As music is a close companion of literature proper several gentlemen were iut< rvlewed whose In formation leaves no room for doubt that Mont real has, during the past ten years, made VERY RAPID NT RIDE» toward taking a first place among cities where musicians and their work are recognized and encouraged financially te auch an extent that they are enabled to live profession-illv.Twenty years ego.It will be remembered, church music did not hav« such a hold upon church choirs, of our Proteaiant denomtuatlons at least, and there were no musical orgvntza tlons tuch as we have to day In tbe Mendelssohn Choir and Philharmonic Association.You man\u2019s concerts, the mill-ary bands and their concerts aud some Sunday t-ohool gatherings were the cbtof attrac t ns locally, whl e the few opera companh-' that came this way were rame affairs aud generally wltt out any chorus or strotic orchestral aeconr psnlment The Catholic Cdurch choirs, cf courre, fostered the oratorio school of music, and, porhaps, paid more attention to music than did their Kngll»h-8p?aklrg brethren.Gradually tho spirit of the people has changed.While Montreal has progressed In few departments of learning with greater speed than she has in literature tbe advance In music has been also very great But from tbe Ups of thou chiefly Interested may be given the evidence upon the eubject A STEADY IMPUOVKAIENT.Mr.De/.onche stated that there has been a steady improvement.year after year In tbe quality of music which people buy, and a good way to Judge of this Is by the large safe of Peter\u2019s works which contain classical music, and of which a better addition can now bo bad for one fifth of what It used to cost not long ago.This was the era of all sorts of cheap mask: and In all connected with It there was a decided 1m Srovement Especially In the last five years, urlng which the fine works were reduced In price, bad the taste for goo 1 music develoi>ed ; and now teachers who had any right to ctil themselves such (there was a great drawback from numbers of those who called themselves music teachers) gave their scholars very much better mnslc than was tbe case fifteen or twenty years ago.Music teachers among tho higher classes of society, too, had to be of much greater ability.As to pianos, fifty years had now been given to finding out bow to make a durable piano, one which would not go oat of tuna with every change of the weather.Mason & Hamlin, the great organ manufacturers had succeeded In this and had made a splendid lano.About twenty bouses In the United tates made from twent; ty to sixty per week and there are about forty that make from ten to raised by practice.Therefore the\"vouthfuï I\tP®r w®«k- H®»\"* 1° Canada about one ejslou |q hundred were manufactured weekly.BNVGovernment was turned out a coalition would be formed with Meredith as Premier and Attorner-Géneral, and Harcourt os leader of the Liberal contingent.Tbe portfolios on the Conservative side were to go to Meredith, Creighton and Morris, and Harcourt was to be allowed to choose his colleagues.It Is quite obvious from the connection between the motion of want of confidence In the House and the completion of the work of the Intriguers outside of It that the leading members of the Opposition knew perfectly well whet waa going on, though there le no reason to suppose that all tbe rank and file were kept Informed of the doable movement to defeat the Government\u2014the mine under the surface and the assault above ground.Tho conspirators thought they had everything made safe on Monday atternoon.It has come out in evidence before tbe Privileges and Electtans Committee that a large auu of money In Dominion cotes was changed on Saturday last Into $1UU notes of the Back of British North America, and that a ranchman named Stlmson, accompanied by John Shields, changed the moaey.There Is no proof that theso bills were the ones paid to McKIm and Balfour by Wilkin son, but McKIm received hie $1,000 on Snnday end Balfonr on Monday.On Mon day evening Wilkinson was about to go from the Walker House, where he was lodging to the Continental Hotel to pay $2,000 to Dr.Dow-ijng when he was arrested.Meanwhile M'KIm And Balfour hod placed their money In the hands of tbe Speaker In sealed packets.The business of tbe Honre went on as nsual after tea, tho burinets being tbe voting of sappllos.No explanation haa yet been given of tho fall-nro of Mr.Meredith to move hla non-confldenct motion that evening.Two causes are su g geeted\u2014one that he was waiting to make sure of Dowling's vote for which he had not vet heard of the money being paid, the other that he bad heard of the Government's acquaintance with the plot and felt uncertain how to proceed.TUB GOVERNMENT MINE was, at all events, the first to be sprang and the shock was terrific.Amidst the stillness of death the Speaker compiled with Mr.Mowet's request to open the seeled pockets which bed been pat Into his bands, and It woe a scon# never to b« forgotten when he counted the money and read the letters they contained.When he was throdgh Mr.Mowat rooa, and taking upon him \u2022elf all the responsibility of wu«t had been done, proceeded to show that the oonsplratoru bod, been with his concurrence, decoyed loto comm It tin g a criminal offence, for which two of them had, a few minâtes before, been ar-reeted and sent to tho police station.HU motion that tho formal charge ha made should be referred te tbe Committee on privllocee and elections was carried after a brief discussion, and the House adjourned after a sitting which win yet be historical.The Oommltteehas had two sittings slnca.and at each meeting matters of Interest were brought to light.To day toe {«ten and pepere found on Wilkinson and Kirkland were impounded, and she clues they contain will be rigidly followed up.The out-\u2022ageoiu nature of tho eons piracy, aud the tornuing anxiety Indicted on the Government which saw what was going on and yet ting tried men To sot as dacoys.wifi ensars a merci)»*» prosecution of tho offenders to the bitter end.There Is a stern determination to ¦tamp out tbe plague of corruption, end to teach disreputable political Intriguera ouch a lesson that decent aad honorable men will not noon be again Insulted with offers of bribes.THE POLITICAL IFF OCT of the exposure eon already be safely predicted.It will moke Mr.Mowat stronger la the pro vines than he haa ever been, and keep him In power aa long aa ha like* to retain office.It will seriously Injure if not totally destroy Mr.Meredith's political prospecta, for It will be tin-possible for him to defend himself successfully against'those jrbo will use the dlaelosureson A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.Tbe public spirited Britons who write letters to the editors of tbe London papers have lately been agitated touching tbe cose of Baker Pasha.One of them calls tbe attention of his newspaper to what he says is \" a long-standing rule in tbe British Army and Navy,\" that whatever crime a man might have committed before k battle Is forslven alter he has taken part in one.Baser Pa»ha fought and was wounded at Teb, and Is thus entitled to the benefit of the rale.The \"rule,\" If It be a rule, must apply merely to breaches of military discipline and petty offences punishable by courts-martlaL It cannot be made to operate against the sentence of a civil conrt, such as that In consequence of which the Queen dispensed with the services of Col.Baker, snd It would be a dangerous precedent to proclaim that gallantry In the field conld condone ruffianism in private life.In that case the State of South Carolina would bo comuelled to overlook the murders committed by old Cash In his private wars, and possibly to give him a permit for fresh murders, upon the ground that he fought the Yankrat.It is true, however, that Baker has been severely punished for his offence, and It Is probably for that reason that the London newspapers approve of the proposal to reinstate him In the British Army \u2014A'.F.Times.A NEED IN EXTRADITION TREATIES.The foolish cry that has been raised In some of the Knropenn journals that assassination and dynamite plots bod the conntonance of the people of the United States would be too ridiculous to mention were It not for the fact that there are doubtless a few Europeans who, In the disturbed condition of affairs by which they find themselves surrounded, are ready to believe any story, towever absurd.The absurdity of this bos b*«n most conclusively proved, not only by the recent action of the President lu calling tbe attention of the Government law officers to their duty In preventing any secret shipment of explosives.but also by the general tone of tbe speeches made, at tho various dinners and celebrations which occurred on Saint Patrick\u2019s day, by Irishmen themzelves.At no time for years have these speeches been more temperate, and et no time bos criminal violence as a means of righting wrongs been more deprecated.We de not want to abate In tbe least the principle which bos been so long established that the United States shall be regarded a safe asylum for those whom de*porte governments have persecuted for treedom of political action, and whose offences consist In defending civil and political liberty, bat the American people do not regard murder, and especially that basest form of murder, the satasslnation of harmless and non combatant people, as a merely political offence, end our extradition treaties should clearly and explicitly express the sentiment of onr people on this point.Dynamite assassins should distinctly understand that they can find no safe asylum on the soil of the United States.\u2014Poston Traveller.Riley, who killed Gel la

Yet, only so short a limn ago, it had stretched before her fair and sweet, beautified by happy love and bright with the golden gU ry of hope ! Now, &laa ! look in whatever direction she would, tho heavens and tfie earth were enshrouded in Slooo, wherein she ooold find no rift of prom-e.But the worst was not yet reached\u2014that gloom and darkness were capable of a deeper shade! One morning Helen was seated with her sont in their cosy morning-room.The latter, with the object principally of providing her with rome distracting occupation, had begged her niece to remake fer her some laoe head-dretaas that had juat come home from the cleaner».While Helen waa thus engaged «betook op the local paper for the day and commenced to read alond.The leading articles did not prove very interesting, but Mr*.Reid religiously extracted tbe pith of them.Then, turning to the columns usually devoted to district nows or local goseip, she began again with the first paragraph her eye lighted upon\u2014 \"ax EXTUlORDIlVaBY BOBDSBY.\"Yesterday morning an event of a very extraordinary and nnaocountablo character took place in this town.The Hon.Mrs.D-.a lady who has lately come to reside in the vicinity, had gone into the principal bank of Ock-ley bridge for the purpose of opening an account there.She had requested to see the proprietor of the establishment, oar well-known and highly respected fellow-townsman.Mr.V-, and while converting with him she laid down upon the oonnter a roll of banknotes amounting to the sum of eight hundred pounds.\u201d \u201cDear me 1 Helen, that must, of oourse, be Mr.Vicary\u2019s bank !\u201d exolaimoi Mrs.Reid, in a tone of interest, pausing to re-arrange her spectacle».\u201cOf coarse,\" replied Helen.\"There cannot be much question of that \" \u201cScarcely had the honorable lady plaoed the money ont of her hand\u201d (oontinned Mrs.Reid reverting to the paragraph) \u201cthan a yoong man, who had an instant before entered the bank and stepped up to her tide, suddenly stretched in front of her, seized the roll of note», sad rushed forth.So soon as she could hC5V«r from tbe shock o« surprise Mrs.D- followed him to the door, bat the possessor of her property was novhere to be seen.The strangest part of the affair, however, is yet to be relsted.On re-entering the bank, the Hon.Mrs.D-noticed that the clerks-none of whom had made the slightest effort to pursae the thief\u2014seemed much excited while the proprietor himself wore an sir of excessive consternation and distress.\" \u201cOb, Helen 1\u201d ejaculated Mrs.Reid, whose e had glanced forward a few line*, \"I\u2014 ever mind the rest.\u201d Helen laid down her work and clasped her trembling hands.\u201cGo on, aunt,\" she urged ; \u201cI seam to know by intuition what is coining.There is no use in biding it.Please go on.\u201d Bat Mrs.Reid still hesitated, holding the paper tightly pressed against her bosom, ss if afraid that her nieoe might attempt to possess herself of it.\"Aont, what is ths use?I must know.Was it Charley that took the money ?\u201d demanded Helen, calmly.\u201c Some instinct tells me so.Yrt why\u2014why should he do it?Proj read on.\u201d Thus adjured, Mrs.Bead sought again for her place.\u201cOh, my dear, how oould you guess it?\u201d she asked.\u201c What has come over the fallow ?Yes, if you can beer it, I had read on\u2019\u2019\u2014 \"The proprietor himself wore so air of ex Maire consternation and distress.This^as well accounted for when he proceeded ^explain that ths perpetrator of this bold outrage waa hie ewn son.The young man, it appears, had only recovered about a month previously from an attack of fever and phrenitis, brought en by an accident he had met with in a mill ; and there is reason to suppose that his illness most have left behind it some remaining affection of the brain.Of this, in fact, there can be little doubt.According to the state aunts ef his father young Mr.V- has ex MMted, rince his apparent eonvalesoenoe, peculiarities of behavior which have caused his Mends sauch anxiety.Moreover, in addition to the fart that he has hitherto borne an unexceptionable character, the young man enjoyed 7 Ni poor fa better Oh for a heart from self set free, And doubt, and fret, and oare.Light as a bird, instinct with glee, That fans the breezy air 1 Oh ter a mind whom virtue moulds AU sensnous fair display, And, Uke a strong commander, holds A world of thoughts in qsrsy 1 Oh for an eve that's clear to see, A hand that waits on fate, To pluok the ripe fruit from the tree, And never oomes too late I Oh for a life with firm-set root, And breadth of leafy green, And flash of blooming wealth and fruit That grows with mellow sheen 1 Oh for a death from sharp alarms And bitter memories free ;

unnumbered millions of unknorife Africa\u2014all are hungry : and the throngs of other heathen countries, Mohammedan countries, Romanist countries beside* the scattered people of His own possession, all famishing\u2014 Drier, djing, djing, In deep and dark despair;

He sees them aU : they are not only \"millions\u201d to Him, bnt separate individuals, each with s soul whose price was only lobe reckoned by His blood, and He says again, \"I have compaasicn on the multitude,\" and than His heart turns to His diiciples, and hs says, \"I shall reveal ny compassion through thorn,\u201d and He says \u201cGive ye them to eat, and appoints twelve werkers to five thoosand.(If that be His proportion, how terribly short of it we are as yet!)

one who in the fulness of her consecration offered herself to Him for foreign work.How did hs answer ?By sending her to an isolated position, sarronnded by tho most dolling, c hilling rationalism, withont one single Christian friend.Barely it was Bis acceptance of her offer, and that He led her there, both to test and strenthen her own consooratloo, and also to prove that He can keep her warm in suck an atmosphere, before proving it to h*r in a deadening chilling atmosphere of heathenism which she has given her life to face.Or think of another,who offered herself to Him at twenty Je&rsofage.Year after year passed, but atiU omo duties held her fast,and she ungrudgingly fulfilled them, aU tho while oherishiug the mission hope.Thirty years passed, aod at length she was released, and now she is in the heart of China, her age enabling her to enter wberefyounger ones would have found barriers, and they follow in after her, and so the very age gained by waiting proves a new talent.\u201c Bring them onto Me.\" He gives you the power to do it.He will not take by force what yon will give by will.Will you now resign the fair treasure, on whom as yet no other hand has been laid, while yet the world has had no nee of her, and then leave it to Him to make what nee He will of her ?so that if her heart tores to the mission field, yon will not scorn and stifle, but nourish and oherish the springing hope.I know one family whose six little daughters are all held in trust for tho Lord, and the joy of that household is what many a half-hearted parent would covet.It was Moffat's mother who planned the first mission-arv seed in her con\u2019s heart by reading him missionary stories in the winter evenings.Then as to the honor.Is there no honor and glory in it P Is there not even now a halo of sacred glow round the memory of the yoong ÈLrl who at nineteen years of age gave her fe to the Maories, and was only called home the other day after sixty years of service, leaving thirteen of her own family dedicated to miseion work in New Zsaland ?Is there no orown round the veteran mimonary Moffat, who for sixty years gave his life to the Beohn-anas ?Why, even for the honor of such a life it is gained, and a wordly paper gives an article in bis praise, extolling him in language whioh it bestows upon few.Yet once more He used the word \u201c bring.\u201d It was on tbe rerarreotion shore, and there the disciples stood with the fruits of their toil, and of His sovereign word displayed oefore Him.Will there be any scene like that between you and Him on the early morning of eternity when we meet him face to face ?And if by His grace we have such fruit to lay at His feet it will not be upon it that we shall feast and be satisfied, bat it will be His hands whioh shall provide and prepare the first provision, to that there, as here, from first to last, we shall be behclden to Hie grace, and to His grace alone, for the heart to love Him, the hand to serve Him, the success of onr net-osatiug, and ths provision to ans tain.\u2014Min Kug*nt is Word arid Work.CHILDREN'S CORNER.flOHTINa THE HORNETS.A TBUB ETOBT.Under tbe eaves of an old farmhonse, on the scutlern side, hung the huge nest of a family of yellow hornets.As a general role, these yellow stingers, though distinguished as architects, are not considered safe or pleasant neighbors.Bat it wss a busy time on this farm.With the ploughing and the planting, then the hoeing and the weeding, the men found very little leisure for anything that looked like amnaement.Though Ann, the hired girl, did complain occasionally of \u201cbeing \u2022keered at the critters,\u201d and tho farmer always said he\u2019d \" see to it some night, and smoke \u2019em down,\u201d there

one they called Toodlee, only four years old, and Jamie not quite two.Then, at the next honse, perhaps a quarter of a mile away, lived ths Band-fords, with rix children, whose ages varied from five to fifteen.These two families of yoong people held such frolics together, snob picnics and skatings and walks end \u201c going berrying*\u201d and reading the same histories and btorics as city children know nothing abont.They had gone through a histoty of Ureeoe the winter before, and their sympathy for such an oppressed people and their indignation at the cruelty and injustice of the Turks had been roused to the highest pitch.One afternoon tho father was going over to a nrighborieg town to buy a cow, and the mother, after thinking about it a good deal, actually laid aside her work and went with him.Ben and Mary, being the oldest, were left in rtiarge.It wa« a rare experience for these children.Four of the Stndfords, George and Mollie and Martha and little Tommy, came over to help them enjoy it.While they were wondering what they shoold do, Toodlee ran in crying from the sting of a hornet.\u201c He u a mean old Tork,\" said Nat, binding on a piece of onion over the red spot.Then Katie flashed ont the idea.\u201c Let's play we are Greeke and the hornets are Tnrke.ana just knook that nest down and fight \u2019em.\" Nearly aU the children were old enough to know the danger of such an undertaking ; but the suggestion was too brilliant to be easily abandoned.It waa like a flash of eleotrioity all round.\u2022\u2022 Let\u2019s talk it over 1 Let\u2019s do something !\u201d said Ben.\u201c We can\u2019t smoke \u2019em down before night, and mother is afraid we shall set the honse on fire.If we could out the nest right off they\u2019d go away and build somewhere else.\u201d \" Yes if we oould take the whole of it.\" said Mary.\u201c But if we laave any of it, they'll just stick by.\u201d \u201c Oh ! let\u2019s form a company and chooee officers ! said Hazel.\u201d Thiz hint was received with applause and instantly carried ont.Nat and Mollie were appointed generals ; Ben waa made a oao «»>.George a major.They wrot* their it'e< >a large letters on white paper, nod pinned them on their shoulders fer e pa alettes.Katie said if they didn't make her something right off, she wouldn't play.\u201cWomen are just as smart as men now-a-days.My mother says so.\" \u201c Well, you may be private secretary ; but we must rave some for soldiers,\u2019\u2019 said Mary, who really kept matters running smoothly.\u201c Me want to be somethin\u2019,\" cried Toodlee, holding up her bandaged hand.\u201cWhy, you are one of the wounded.You must go and lie down.\u201d \u201c Me ain't going to lie down.Me want to fight, too.\u201d\t.\"I\u2019m going to be a drummer boy,\u2019 aaid Tommy, bringing in a tin pan and big iron spoon.Finally the uproar subsided and something like a plan was laid out by these children.They closed the titting-room window, from which they ooold see the nest.Then they went ap-ztens, where a small, low window in one corner wasneiwly on elevel with it.Hares pane of glam had been broken out.They took e sheet, Ambled it together sad nailed it tightly found at the bain.this was aimed at the top of the nest ; and at a signal there waa to bo e vigorous thrust givsn by those inside, that should knock it down.Having decided all this, they proceeded to getting ready ; for in dressing lay more than half the fun.Meanwhile.tie hornets, seeing the pole protruding into their neighborhood, had already begun to buzz angrily around it.\u201c Bee mo, \u2019 said Hazel, coming in from the pantry, with a tin dish for a helmet.Two old guns that has been used in the re-voluntionary war were brought out.\u201cLet's set the alarm clock.\u201d \u201cOhl yes,\u2019\u2019 shouted all together.That made them think of noUe, and away they went for instrumenta.One fonnd the dinner bell, another a tin horn.Jamie waked ap and they coaxed him to sit in his crib end watch the others, whioh he proceeded to do, bis eyes growing larger every minute.By this Urns the party were roused np to a real excitement.\" 1 eh all be Marco Boz/aria,\u201d exclaimed Nat, who was wrapped in a long shawl, with a bright scarf bound around his head and a skimmer upon the front of his jacket ; and he began to shout, \" At midnight in his guarded tent.\u201d Homo one proposed to darken the room ; bat that project was qniokly abandoned.Sentinels wore stationed at the doors, two at each window to watch, two more on the stairs, others in different places about the room.Nat and Mollie were to fire off the otnnon, which meant thrust ont the pole.Toodlee, by this time, had grown very pale.She was sure, in her own mind, that something dreadful wa» really going to happen ; bnt the rest were too busy to notice her.About three minutes before it was time for the clock to strike, Nat shouted: \"Soldiers! Attention I The time has come 1\u201d \u201c Don't poke your skimmer into my face, if it has!\u201d said Mabel, who was getting very uncomfortable under her wrappings.\u201cOrder!\u201d for the others bad all laughed.\u201c I shall recite the most striking verse of that remarkable poem, written in my honor.When I come to the last \u2022 Strike \u2019 let the ioatrumen1.» sound, let evervbody hurrah, and then fire into the camp of the enemy.Now, ready.\u201c \u2022 Strike, till the lait armed foe expire*! btnke for the green grsTe* of jour Btres!' Strike 1\u201d Off went the alarm, bang went tt\\e tin pans, toot went the horn.Martha rang the bell, vigorous yells oimc from each throat, and Mary made a lungo at the nest.In an instant the hornet* dashed out like so many demons.They darkened the windows as they flew against them.Tho obildren shrieked and ran together.Jamie tnmbled out of his crib.Tood'.es fell over him.Fortunately all doors and windows were dosed ; for the enraged insects went everywhere.When the noise and tumult had subeided some of tbe boldest ventnred to the window.The neet had been only half torn away, and the hornets, enough to fill a peck measure, were whizzing through the air.As they heard a sound, again they flew against tho glass.It wasaotoally fearful to watch them; and no child was bold enough to go close to tbe window pane.Just then Ann was seen coming from a neighbor's house.They ran to the front door and shouted :\t\u201c Run in this way, quick ! \u201cWhatever will we|do?\"she exclaimed.\"We must fasten the big gate before your father and mother come.Nary a horse can go by there to-night.They\u2019ll sting him to death.\" The carious part of this battle was the way the hornets remembered it.Tho hired man was stationed at the gate that night to warn the carriage ; and tot two weeks not a soul ventnred near that spot.One day, the old cow strayed out of her dominions, and tempted by u bit of green grass, walked innocently near.But in a moment, with her tail in the air, she was dashing madly down the field.Neither of these two windows could be opened.Jnat a tap at either was sufficient to bring thesa stingers angrily against it.They plastered np theirjnest and clung to'.it ajwhile ; bnt finally the rain was abandoned.It is safe to say that never another family of hornets were allowed to baild near that farmhouse, and that any allusion to Greeks and Turks is sure to bring a smile upou the faces of these children now grown to be middle-aged men and women.\u2014 If.F.IndaptmUnt.PUZZLES.KNIOMA.My first it In sunflower, stalwart and loud; My teeond In goldeu rod.wavy and proud i My third in magnolln, peerless and grindi My fourth I» in pansy and all her tweet band ; My fifth it In pomegranate, blottom of flamet My sixth It is pattlon.flower long known to fame; My seventh in tulip, flaunting and bold; My okhtb in eamsllia, that beanty to cold ; My ninth it in daphne, wlthporfame to rsrs; My tenth it In snow drop, modest and fair; My eleventh In bnittreap, sold without drou; My twelfth it In rosebuds, embedded in mots ; My thirteenth In asters, red, pnrple and white ; My whole wat a poot, trauseendently bright; Be was born in the first month, nineteenth day, Five end-seventy year* nzo ; And still his \"Bells\" their changes plsy, -Jsow glad and joyons, now tad and slow.PROOBZSSIVk KNIOMA.\" I propose that wa make the 1-2-3.4 of the Mer-rlmac,\" tald Tryphsna.*\u2022 6-7-8-9 !' aaid Tneo-phlle*.\u201c Can w« uke 2-3-4 pnpplet 1 \u2019 bagged Rob and Ned.Their mother nodded assent 1-2 them from behind the coffee 3-4.5.This nleased the llttl* 7.8 0.Said Bob.\u201cWe will 5-6 7-8 the brown puppy, Merry while Ned said, in his baby fashion.\"7-8.5-G-7-8 mine, Mae.\" But when they heard that the trio waa to Include tbe grand bicycle 1-2-3 4-5 6 7 8-9 10.atMossvllls, their delight was unbounded.CHABADE.M v second Is called a staff ; Then, if my first be sweet, Yon will find mv whole to be A dainty kind of meat., HIULICAU ACROSTIC.1.\t^hat metal did Elijah cause to swim f 2.\tIn what book did Banl say the names of Clement and othere were written t 3.\tAt whose house did the Ark of the Lord rest t 4.\tWhet was Christ's drink on the eresst 5.\tWho brought ths son struck child to Ilfs t 6.\tWho interpreted dreamt while In prison t 7.\tWhat land was visited by tbe angel of death t 8.\tWho killed more at his death than during hit Ufa I 9.\tWho carried hie own death warrant from tbs hand of David t 10.\tFor what wat Joseph told f The Initials form what all shoold bo able to say.ANSWERS TO PUZ3LKS.1 Charade.\u2014Wtld-goose-ehaso.\t# Crositford.\u2014Nutcracker.ChattPuzzlt.\u20141.Mart.2.Iamb.3.Fro*.4.Pox (ox).5.Coot.6.Cat 7.Camel.8.Boer.B.Asa.10.Boavar.11.Deer.12.Hog.13.OwL 14.Otter.15.Horse.18.Ibis.17.Rat.18.Quail.18.Daw.20.Jay.21.Dog.22.Elk.23.Fly.24.Uon.2 5.Monse.26.Goat.27.Gander.28.Beer.29.Spider.30.Hen.81.Kitten (kite).82.Pig.33.Zebra.34.Whale.35.Hobla.30.Sheep.37.Wren.38.Yalu 39.Pigeon.40.Perch.41.Ant.42.Goek.43.Unicorn.4-1.Crow (cow).45.Falcon.46.Wolf.47.Tiger.48.Ape.JfiWs A ercitie.\u2014Hangered, Og.Phlneae.Ebal, Do-bora, Flah, Ferry.Kit, Haehel.Kboda.Kphesue, Den.Man.Amot.Kish.Fgypt, Tabltha.Hiram, Tarsblsb.Hid.Kuh.tlezekisb.Elea.Anvil Rosin, Tent raeker.Summer r-etlor.Italians, Capernaum, Kadeah.Inlilata\u2014Hope deferred maketh the heart stek.\ta COItRECT ANSWERS UKCRIVKD.Correct answers have been tent by U.W.Draper, W.Bian, O.W.D.; »ud John Wood.DAILY WORDS FOR 1884.[Moraoiam Test Boak.)

DOCGALb Ac SON, .WirnzM\" timtA \u2022t BatuedAtJ March 22,1884.THE MONTREAL DATT.Y WITNESS GALTjICANISM AND UL-TRAMONTANISM.8ir \u2014It ia very possible that there may be pçraoDfl who do not fully underatand the dif-forence which ia known to exist between Gal-licaniam alias Roman Catholicism, and Topory alias Ultramotitaniem alias Jesuit-ism.Some years ago I was struck with a statement of the Hon.Mr.Debartch, in the Legislative Hall, that \u201c he was a Roman Catholic and not a papist.\u201d Since then I have learnt to distinguish between those classes, sud I doubt not there are many U* whom information on this subject would be acceptable.To such I offer the following explanation, with the judgment of two eminent French gontlero* n on their relative merits.In 1(582 the French clergy drew op a statement of th*-ir views on church doctrine and polity, and published it iu the following textual form, and by which they assert» d the freedom of the Gilliian church.These were afterward known as *' the four articles,\u201d and as the embodiment of \u201cGaUicanism.\u2019, \u201c Article 1.St.Tatar »nd hla successor*.And tba cbuich itself, reealvad from Almighty «od.Powo* orer spiritual things only, not oyar poUtlesl mutters, Christ hsylug said: \u2018My kingdom la not of this world.' consequently, kings and prtneas cannot t « deposed either directly or Indirectly, nor can sub jecta pa liberated from thstr oaths of allegiance hr the authority of the heads of the church, and thte apetrine must be Inrlolably recelred as conformable e^theword of Ood, and to the traditions of tho Fatbors.and to the example of the saints.\" Article 2.The fnll power of tho Apostolic hee and of tho snecessors of Peter Is such that the decrees of the Holy Ecumenical Council ef Constance, approv'd of by the Apostolic See (and which declared that General Connells were aoperlor to the l\u2019ope In matters of faith), subsist lu all their force ^\u2022'Article 3.Theneo it results that the action of apostolic power mast bo regulated according to the canons ; that the rules the manners and tke constitutions.recoWed in this kingdom and oy the (lal-lltan Church must ever remain In vigor, and the limits appointed by our fathers must remain un- ChrA, 4.The Sovereign Pontiff has the principal power In questions of faith, and ht* décrétait-tends over all churches s his decision, however.Is not iirevr.cahlo until the consent of the church nas confirmed It.\u201d In opposition to the above, açd as con-# stiluting tho substanco of Ullramontanism alias Jesuitism alias Popery, is tho following as the substance of the encyclical and syllabus of the council held in Rome in 1869 and 1870: \u2022* 1st.To the Pope's rule and laws all the nations Of the world must bow.,,\t\u201e___ 1 \u2022 2nd.All sovereigns hold their thrones, all peo- Îtle pay their allegiance, on condition that they be-tevo tho creed of Koine, and practice its worship.*\u2022 3rd.There Is no religion, but that of Romo, and UO Other faith is to be held or allowea Liberty of conscience I* prohibited.Toleration of other religion* Is a crime against society.\u2018\u20224th.All sovereigns, who are Protestmt*.aro heretics ; and heresy Is a crime for which they onght to be deposed.\t.\t.\t, '\u2022 6 th.All free thought and free speech on religion are criminal, liberty of the press and worship are to bo pat down.\u201d This is the creed, and, where it has the power, the practice of Rome.It is impossible to conceive a document more deeply fraught with the essence of despotism.Cardinal Manning with a devotion to his new faith and master, the Pope, that has often astonished those \u201c to the manner born,\u201d declared, in a sermon he preached a few years ago in Kensington, and speaking in the Pope's name, \" I claim to bo tho onpreme judge and director of the eonsciencos of men ; of the peasant that tills the Held and the prince that site on the throne; of the honaebold tiiat lives In the shade of privacy and the Uelalatmo that raakea laws for kingdoms\u2014( am the sole, lut supreme judge of what Is right and wrong.\u201d For a moment let me pause here to ask my reader if this is not blasphemy, then what is there left ont of it necessary to constitute tbatcrime f Fur her,let me ask, may we not suppose that Bf.Paul had ia view this very man, thus en lowed with godlike attribute»» and authority by his blind-d fol lowers when he penned the following : See 2n»l Thes.2:3-4, \u201cLet no man beguile you in any wuo ; for it will not be, except the falling away come first, and the man of sin (or lawlessness) be revealed, the son of perdition, ho that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped (or an object of worship) ; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God.\u201d That euch statements are found in the Holy Bcriptures, which so clearly describe and 80 fully denounce the Church of Rome, quite explains the uncompromising hostility of its clergy to the Bible, and of their determination to prevent its circulation among their people.But while men like Cardinal Manning can offer such adulation to a fellow-sinner, it is pleasing to know there are others, much more distinguished in the world than even he, and quite his equal in devotion to the interests of their Church, who have not hesitated to write iu a very different strain of the Pope, and of the action of the late Council in ascribing to him the infallibility, and, as Dr.Dollinger says, the omnipotence, of which the Cardinal so exultingly boasts.And when I mention as such tho late Count Montalembert, and the late Monseigneur Sibour, Archbishop of Paris, Ultramon-tanes of an earlier era, who, with a host of others, resisted with courage and great argumentative ability the purpose of the Jesuits to bring this topstoue of blasphemy upon their Church, the intelligent reader Will acknowledge that I am fully sustained In my statement.Iu proof of what I here «ay I will give a brief quotatitn from the writinge of the Count and the Archbishop, which, I doubt not, will be read with much interest.The Count, in writing to a friend, observes : \u201cI becAroo to oba«rv« lost that 4he GalllcanUm of which I waa tho résolut* and victorious adversary twenty-five yean ago, had only the name in oommon with that with which you reproach the Bar.Father (Jratry.The OalUcanlsm 1 tnen called «mummy, was no other than that wnlch tnv old collaague and friend, Count Daru, ridiculed tba other day, when be said, lu leplylogio M.Kohland, \" you are mistaking the century.\" It has solely the oppreaaive or vexatious intervention of tne temporal power In eplrltnal Interests, an Interference wnlch « portion of our old and illustrious French clergy had aomeilmes too easily accepted.But I venture to aar that you will not find any more In mv speech -of 1847 than In my other speeches or writings, a single word In conformity with the doctrines or pretensions of the Ultramontane* of the present day ; and that for an excellent reason, which la.that nobody had thought of advocating or ralalng them during the period between my entrance Intopqblte life an the advent of the second empire.Never, thank heaven, have 1 thought, said, or written anything favorable to th* personal and separate Infallibility of the Pope, inch as It la thought to Impose npon ns ; TJorao the thsoersey, the dictatorship of the church, which I did my beet to reprobate, nor to the absolu-Rome, which to-day forma the symbol and ***programme of the faction dominant among us.( >n reading with youmy words of 1847.1fouml nothing, 1**rc*ly anything tfechang* In them.I feel that /he.«evasion artac^l to-day should again oppose «\twhich 1 then contended, and that I should proclaim, now as then, the reciprocal Incompetence of the church, and ot the state outalde the Boundary of their proper domain, without desiring mM.thwr mutual tnd*p*ndenee should lead to their ^ÆVf1100- At the same time I willingly admit that Et I have nothing to cancel I should have a great deal to add.I said Gallicsnlsm U dead, because U made Itself the servant of the state.How then has It risen again ?1 do not hesitate to aay that It 1* la consequence ot the lavish encouragement given under the Pontificate of Pina IX.to sxaceerated doctrines, outraging the good sense as wall as th* honor of the human rara\u2014doctrine* of which not even the coming shadow was pereentlbla under the Parliamentary Monarchy.In 1847 what could give rile to a suspicion that the liberal Pontificate of Pins IX , acclaimed by all the Liberals of the two worlds, should bec ome the pontificate represented and personified by the Cnivtrt and the Ctviita f In the midst of the unanimous cries then uttered by the clergy In favor of liberty, aa In Belgium, of liberty In every thing, and for all.how could we foresee, as possible, the Incredible wheelabout of almost all that same clergy la 1852\u2014the entbatlssm of most of the Ultramontane doctors for the revival of Ciitsarlsm * The harangues of Monseigneur Pantit, the charges of Monseignenr de Kallnis -, and especially the permanent triumph of those lay theologians of absolutism who began by squandering all oar liberties, nil our principle*, all oar fermer Ideas, before Napoleon IU.and afterward immolated jnstlce and truth, reason nod bistory, in one great holocaust to the Idol they raised up for themselves at the Vatican t If that word Idol teems to you too strong, plsate to lay the blame on what Monselineur Sloonr, Archbishop of Paris, wrote to me on the 10th September.1833.(lie now quotes the Archbishop.) \u2022* The new Ultramontane school leads us to a double idolatry.\u201d (Mark these words) \"The Idolatry of the temporal power aod ot the spiritual power.VVhen yon formerly, like curselvea.M.1# Comte, made loud prcfesalona of Ultramontaulsm you did not understand things thus.We (lofendtd the Ir.ilspandence of the spiiltunl poser against the pretension* and encroachment* of tbn temporal power, but we respected the conailtntlon of the etsta and the constitution of tho church, we did not do away with all Intermediate power all hierarchy, all reasonable discussion, all legltl mate leslstancc, all Indlvldua Ity, all anontan-elty.The Pope and the Emperor were not, on* the whole chatr:i and the other the whole state.Doubtlea* there are tlmoe when the Pope may set himself abov all tho rules which are only for ordinary tîme*.and when hU power la

abounded n hostile argaments against all liberties\u2014those ot the state as well as those ot the churdh\u2014and against the serious religious Interest* of the present lime, and especially of a futuie day.One might be content with despising them, but when one lies a presentiment of the evils they are preparing for ns it Is difficult to be silent and resigned.You bave, therefore, done well.M.Lo Conte, to stlgmatlAethem.\u201d Thus, sir, did the pastor of the largest diocese la Christendom express hlmsslf seventeen years ago.congratulating me upon one of my first protests against tba spirit which, since then, I have never ceased to eombat.For it la not to-day, but In 1832 that I began to striggl* against tho detestable polities! and religious aberrations which make np coatemporary Ultramontaolsm.\u201d Would it not be well for our French friends and fellow-citizens in their present position to open their eyes to such teachers as those I have quoted?If they do not for a while there need be no question but that ere long they will.The mischiof iu strifes and divisions, of which Jesuitism is ever the parent, is coming out very clearly iu thoir midst.It is well, perhaps, that when the Jesuits got their hands on the power, for which they ever plot and work, they knotv no modérât iou iu its use.Here, then, is our hope, that by straining they will break their ties, and a rather noisy outburst of feeling may one of thfse days be expected among us.Even so, let it oome, aad speedily.\tJohn Borland.BRITISH NEWri.Leicester- Coffee Houses.\u2014The receipts at
