tioulars relative to tho much vexed Question oi the Government scrip.The Major first stated that he had issued two brigade orders, the finit being to the effect that the men were not to dispose of their land certificates or scrip until they had ascertained from the Government the real value of them ; the second order called upon all those who had lost their situations in Consequence of their going to the North-West to call upon him at his office, No.11 Corn Ex change Buildings, and he would see what he could do for them.So far sixteen have made application, the various occupations of whom cover a wid*- list including coachmen, gardeners, salesmen, l>ook keepers, Ac.Out of these he has obtained em ployiiu nt for three*.Major Turnbull said that he must admit that several of them could put forth no claim on any firm oi house, as they were either out of employment when they left Montreal, or had left their situations expressly to enlist for the North-West, in which case the employers could hardly be ex|M-cted to hold their positions open for them.Nevertheless, as a large number of thorn had been compelled to go lie thought that it was incunib* nt on the city that they should not be allowed to walk the streets.Slid he would be extremely pleased if any who had vacancies which they wished filled would communicate with him.Col.Straubonr-ee was next caded U|»on at the Brigade ( iflice in especial reference to the land grants.He stated that from what he understood those who intended taking up land were to apply to the Minister of Militia, through their commanding officer ; that is to say in the case of the Garrison Artillery through Major Turnbull, stating under what conditions and in what locality they wished their land.This applies t.the homestead entry of H'JO acres only.As regards the scrip tie expressed himself entirely without knowledge.Considering the whole thing from beginning to end it i* »afo to conclude mat at present the whole of the intentions of the Government relative to the volunteer land grants is tightly bound up with several yards of red »ai>e, which will take some time to unloose.A HINT CONCERNING FIREMEN.A gentleman called at this office to say that tho iM.lice service of St.Henri is a great improvement upon that of Montreal.They have, he says, an ambulance waggon, with a horse attached, which isready for service when required to bring in prisoners,and do fire or any other duty when signalled for.Our informant says this is done illob Henri on a small scale, but in ( mein* nnti on a large one, and he wants to know what is to prevent a portion of our firemen and then-horses from a similar duty.Here it would be doing good exercise for both the men and horses, for the former have to be exercised by the latter more or less every\u2019day in a useless manner except for the health of the horses, and the men, to«>, as a large number of them have to put in a dreary time waiting for tires.THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.the

7.TIIK STATK OF TRADK.Although the volume of trade Is Increasing steadily os the midsummer season of rt* : Fall wheat will give a much large yield per acre than last year, and has been more exten sively sown.The average of spring wheat is notas large' as last vear, hut what there is will yield a good average erop.IVax w ill he above an average crop.Harley will he a fair average yield.Oats will produce much heav ier than for several years past.Hay in all sections w ill he a heavy, and in some sections an -hoi mous crop.Hoot crops In some sections hav e suf ferrd from drought, hut oil the whole will he a good average crop.The singularity of the n-|»orts thia year is that no had reports were received from any part of the country, neither rust in w heat nor any mrasite lew Injured the growing crops in any part of Western Ontario.Throughout the w hole Dominion the cro|»s appear to (\u2022e in a similar fine condition, there being no coin plaints heard from any district.Notwithstanding this, there is an evident disinclination on the part of traders of all kind to operate freely or with confidence They state that farmers do not feel pro»|ierous in spite of the large crops, because prices are so low, and so far us can be judged at present, there is no prospect of higher prices.The lumber trade is more prosperous than it has been, ow ing to an increased demand from the United 8 ta tea, but still there is much room for improvement in that branch.The depression which exists at present in general trade is the more marked, inasmuch as money was nev er mon- plentiful or easier as to rates than at the present times.Broker* a< commodate one another at three i>erccnt, and talk of lowering the rates to their customers from six to five percent, while the regular rate of discount u|»oii good two name coiuiucn-lal |>aper is six percent Canada is borrow ing much money, w hich is beingfreely expended, hut still trade is inactive.Money is seek ing investment in bank stocks, the prices of which are going up day by day, though, on account of the dilti-eulty of placing money profitably.the lunks are earning hvs limn they did.On the Corn Kxchauge business continues dull and values are heavy, though no decline has taken place this week, except in the price of Ontario Dogs, which are about f*c lower, The following are the total receipts and

acoording to family tradition, of the same pattern as a service which .Mr.Wedgwood had presented to Queen Charlotte.A few of the plates might lie a little cracked or discolored, but it remained the best service, years only adding to its honor, as years always should.Rarhy knew all about it.In happy days gone by, she, a little l are-legged girl, had stood in watchful j wonder whileher present masters mother, old heavy knock npon his chamlier door ; though it rose again when, to her eager question, ** Mister farquhar.Mister Farquhar, whaur did ye put your siller ?\u201d he promptly replied : \" In ihei drawer of the black juress.\u201d X« w the Muck pres* was a very ancient nitnlc of furniture which stoml in a small clout opening only front the master's own 1 cd chamber.Its roomy selves were stocked with the family archives and relics.There, ft Id^il away, whs the liridal dress of the dead w ife ; there the little packet of her love-letters, lien- stood a black-letter Rihle, and there a bundle of soit old muslins anti laces, which Rarhy and Margoiy'woulti now ami then reverently turn n\\cr, sometimes taking out a trifle, but generally folding all away again.1 heit* was l ut one drawer among the shelves, and tin re Mr.Farquhar kept his wife's rings anti watch (to which Margery had not yet lit en promoted), his birth and marriage certificates, anti his own will.\"The

Whaur did the maister put it ?\u201d Robbery was not very\u2019 vigilantly guarded against in that town.It might have its own types of roguery, but there was little or none of that professional vice against which society must arm itself to the teeth, so that everybody who indulges hirnself w'ith a silver spoon must invest in an iron railing to protect it.People bolted and barred their front doorc rather for a decent appearance of doing their doty to the«rproperty than from any sense of actual necessity.Back wall and !>ack doors and side windows were left unguarded enough.A moment's reflection rsves'ed to Barby the way by which the intruder had come.At the back of the hall, and opening into it by a door which was never secure I, was a small out-building with a atone floor.In summer it w as used for such purposes as storing meat or keeping vegetables.In winter the washing was hung there, w hen open-air exposure would mean rather more dampness than drying.It had a window and a door opening upon the low-walled back-green, which is such s feature in modest Scotch dwellings.This door was generally on the latch through the day, but Barby always bolted it before she went to bed.And, lieiug a woman more careful than many of her fellow citizens, she also hasped the window.It had often struck her that by the careful removing of a pone of glass the hasp could be unfastened and the whole house opened to an invader.But the invasion had seemed so unlikely.Theoretically, Barby had a very bad \u2022 opinion of the city as compared with the country ; but, as a matter of fact, she was always astonished when she found that one could not do as one did on Dee-side\u2014leave one s door open, or, at most, secrete the key in some nook well known to anv neighbor who might happen \" to want soimthing.\u201d A hasty glance around ocuvinced her she was right.There lay the glass and the wrenched hasp.And there, across the stone floor, stretched the trail of w-et mud\u2014here a clot and there a streak, but not one defined foot-mark.The nearest approach to that was the outline of a boot toe pointing toward the window.Whoever had entered had retreated by the same wav that lie come.\"Wae\u2019s me said Barby, \"I should have thocht to ask the maister whaur he meant to put the siller.Gin he left it i\u2019 the desk in the parlor, it\u2019s sma use blaming him.If a woman doesna think, a man canna.Eh, but I'm feared it's a sad waukening he'll hae this morn.\u201d The good Homan s heart sank to hear the cheerful tone of her master's answer to h.r and the other to his school.She had to sum mon her master\u2019s authority to back her.\"Is the w arld to come to an end because a blackguard baa broken into the hoose ?\" she asked.\"There'd Ik- no comfort in wark ava\u2019 if it w&sna the ane thing that maun gac on, night to absorï» the last wara.tl.of the dying\t^ vVc '\t|j?Hilf \u2019 nM.^irnw»\u201en hi»-moie,r Master Robert.\\c canna nnwi the hounds, la-1 ; ami if ye interfere at a , ye re like to be the red herrin' trailed across their scent\u2014as I\u2019ve seen done in my day.An\u2019 it's no man's wark to stand here a' day allowin' a wheen dubs o' imul to a\u2019 comers.An auld wife like me can do that weel eno\u2019.An\u2019, as for you, Master Laurie, the mair ye\u2019ve lost your gear, the mair need to stick to your learniu .\u201d \"They're weel aw a\",\" she said, as at hist they both hurriedly obeyed their fathers imperative command to depart.\"Master Rah was burn in' to knock somebody down, .and Master Laurie was shrinking into himscl\u2019 like a wounded bird into its nest.An\u2019 nae won der !

To think o\u2019 the mony unneighborly thoughts and mc'ii words that have followed that creatur\u2019 through the window to rob and defile this hoose.\u201d The house was quiet again by this time.Mr.Farquhar had followed his arms out.Nobody remained at home but Barby and Margery.The |x>or girl followed the faithful woman about; for the whole house felt haunted by an evil presence, and she could not W-ar to let Rarhy oot of sight.They were in the kitchen now, where Barby hod retired to put away the festal dinner service w hich she had got out, in the joy of her heart, that morning.Margery sat down on the brood edge of the old-fashioned kitchen fender, and watched Rarhy dusting and stacking away the platen and dishes.She could do nothing herself, and the elder woman\u2019s industry seemed to reproach her.\"How can you trouble yourself about that china, Barby ?\u201d she said, almost fretfully.\"I wonder you can remember such things today.\u2019\u2019 \"The mair one s lost, the mair need to tak' care o' w hat\u2019s left,\" said Barby.\"But young things aye think the first thunderstorm is the end o' the warld.The Hook doesna nay we re to let crosses knock us down ; it bids us tak' >»n up, an\u2019 carry- em.\u201d \"Ah, Barby, Barby,\" wailed the girl, \"perhaps you scarcely think how different this may make all our lives.I don\u2019t think I ever thought what money means before.\" * \"Na, Miss Margery,\u201d said Barby quietly, \"that's true.But there's some who have learned what it means, no hy losing, hut by never ha'ing.\u201d \"Rab wifi not be able to go to college now, I suppose,\u201d sighed his sister.\"nab maun gac to college,\u2019\u2019 said Barby, in Could the muster and a' of you mak' up your minds to let the parlor and the spare bedroom ?Ance yc got a guid tenant, that wad bring in nae less rent, maybe mair.\u201d Margery sat gazing into the fire.She did not meet Barby s eyes w atching her.Her lip trembled a little.\"It would*'be awkward to have no spare room,\u201d she said constrainedly.\" Ye\u2019il find room for ony visitor yc loved and really wanted.Miss Margery,\" returned the old woman.\" The sma\u2019cst hoose is big eno\u2019 for love.\u201d \" Mrs.Walker would not conic any more then !\u201d said Margery.Barhy\u2019s heart lightened, for though the girl\u2019s eyes were still fixed on the fire, the trembling of her lip nearly changed into a smile.Mrs.Walker was no favorite, being a miserly, grumbling old country lody, who thought that city friends hud nothing to do but to harbor her, when she wanted to tell them what an intolerable place a city was, and how she wondered anybody could live iu such a place except for a few days.That will no bmk oor hearts,\u201d said Barby ; \"and an bottle hill will no brak her hark.\u201d \" Aunt Mary could alw ays sleep with me,\u201d observed the girl.That was her father\u2019s only sister.\" O\u2019 course she w ad,\u201d «aid Barby ; \" that wad save yc rinnin\u2019 in an\u2019 oot o\u2019 each ither\u2019s rooms, as ye aye did, catching your dciths o\u2019 canId.\u201d \" But oh, Barby,\u201d the girl went on, gazing more intently than ever into the red heart of the fire, while something which was not its glow mounted to her soft young cheeks \u2014 \" BarLv, if w e should do this, should not we \u2014should not wc\u2014lose caste?\" \"Caste, Miss Margery!\u201d cried Barby\u2014 \" caste !

croquettes.In Imiling it, allow a quart of cold water for each pound of chicken, and set it where it will heat very slowly.if the fowl he quite old do not let it reach a Iwiil under two hours, then boil very gently four hours longer.Throw in a tablespoouful of salt when you take it from the fire, turn chicken and liquor into a bowl and set in a cold place all night.Next day skim off the fat, strain the broth from the cnicken, shaking the colander to do this well, and put aside the meat for croquettes or a scallop.Set three pints of the broth over the fire with a teaspoonful of chopped onion, season with salt and pepper, and let it l>oil half an hour.Line a colander with a thick cloth, and strain the liquid, squeezing the cloth to get the flavor of the onion.Return the strained soup to the sauce pan, w ith a t&blespoonful of minced parsley, and bring to a boil.Meanw hile, scald in a farina kettle a cupful of milk, dropping into it a i-it of soda the size of a pea.Stir into this when hot, a tablespoouful of cornstarch wet up with cold milk.When it thickens scrape it out into a how l in which you have two eggs whipped light.Beat all together well, and stir in, spoonful by ipOOII ful, a cupful of the boiling soun.Draw- the soup jiot to one aille of the range, stir in the contents of the bowl, and let it stand\u2014but not boil\u2014three minutes before pouring into the tureen.CHICKEN AND KICK SOUP Is made os white chicken soup, but with the addition of four tablcspoonfuls of rice, boiled soft, and addeibto the chicken liquor at the same time with the parsley.Then proceed as directed, with milk, eggs, etc.TOMATO SOUP.Add a quart of raw tomatoes, peeled and sliced, or a can of stewed tomatoes, and half a small onion to a quart of stock, and stew slowly one hour.Strain and nib through a colander and *et again over the fire.Stir in a t&blespoonful of butter cut up and rubbed into a tablespoouful of (lour.A tablespoonful of cornstarch wet up with cold w
