fluctuations : The Portland (Me.), Press says a good word for Portland.Steamer \u201c Ontario\u201d is now loading cotton at that port for Europe.There are something over 2,000 bales thsre awaiting shipment, and more will come if steamers are provided for its conveyance.This cotton comes from St.Louis.It has formerly been shipped to New Orleans, and there loaded to the European steamers, but it has been discovered that it is a very long route, and shippers say it can be shipped from New Orleans and then re-shipped to Europe quicker and cheaper than direct from Southern ports.A much cheaper way is t® ship it over the Grand Trunk direct to Portland, and then re-ship to England.There is every reason to expect a large business to result from this present shipment from St.Louis.People are slowly beginning to find out that Portland is quite a shipping port.\u2014Boston Post.GRAIN AND PROVISION STATISTICS.remain busy, and the house is stated to have last week secured a largo Continental order at £6 10s in competition with numerous Belgian and French manufacturers.TRADES OF SHEFFIELD.In some respects the tone of the local iron market has been rather firmer during the period which has elapsed since my last report was penned, but I do not, therefore, take it for granted that higher prices have been secured by venders.The reduced output of the Cleveland furnaces led to the supposition that the smelters would be in a position to command rather better figures, but my present information does not lead me to adopt that view in its entirety, for venders of all the ordinary brands are complaining as strongly as ever of the keen competition and the absenceof profits, while buyers rather boastfully assert that they can get what they require at almost \u201cany price.\u201d At the same time I understand that some of the better-known brands of South Yorkshire and Derbyshire pigs are selling fairly well to the founders here and elsewhere on three monthly contracts, and there is certainly a very well sustained call for hematite.In merchant iron the amount of business doing is not extensive, bars being particularly difficult to sell.Hoops and wire-rods are in moderate request at iS9@ £10 per ton.The sheet trade is very quiet, and,few of the mills running thereon are above half employed.For certain kinds of manufactured iron the call is stronger, there being a palpable increase in the amount of work of this class.Constructive iron-work is also selling more freely, and is likely to be in demand for some time henceforth, inasmuch as several heavy contracts have been let during the past week or so.There is more work doing in the ordinary cast steel trade.During the week tenders have been sent in for a large quantity of various kinds and sizes of steel required by the Dowlais Company, but I have not as yet heard to whom the order has been given.A large Scotch iron company has also placed orders for tool and other steel during the week, and some of the Indian and home railway companies have had offers sent in for similar goods.Some capital orders for ordinary pocket and table cutlery have just been placed here for India, Australia, the States, New Zealand, and various parts of Australasia.STAFFORDSHIRE AND BIRMINGHAM.In these districts the iron trade is very quiet at previous prices, although some of the manufacturers of best plates, dockyard iron and other superior qualities remain fairly busy on government and miscellaneous orders.SOUTH WALES AND MONMOUTHSHIRE.The whole of the Nanty Glo and Biaina collieries, equal to an output of 500,000 tons yearly, have been leased by John Lancaster & Co., of Wigan, Lancashire, but the works are still undisposed of.At Tredegar 1,600 tons of rails have been run off for the Government, while Blænavon has a Danish order for 7,000 tons.At Dowlais a fair turnover is being done in rails and bars.Both Llynvi and Booker works are doing moderately well in plates and sheets.The Garth Anchor Works are for sale.At Ebww Yale three blast furnaces are running on spiegel production and two on ordinary pig, of which 1,000 tons are made weekly.The Ponty-moil Works are running on coke and best merchant bars.At Victoria Works a quantity of tin iron is being produced.The successor of Mr.Lay loume, at Rhym-ney, is Mr.Evans, lately of Ebbw Yale.Last week\u2019s Welsh coal exports reached

MACRAE, Solicitor for Applicants.Dated this 8th February, 1878.2m 33 PAINT OIL AND VARNISH TRADE.A meetiug of those interested in the wholesale Paint, Oil and Varnish trade, of Montreal, was held this afternoon, at the office of Messrs.McDougall, Logie & Co., St.Paul street, to form an Association, having for its object, the inculcation of just and equitable principles in trade ; to establish and maintain uniformity in commercial usages, and to adjust controversies and misunderstandings between its members.There was a very fair attendance, and the Association starts under the best of auspices, and with every prospect of becoming a valuable adjunct to this important branch of the business of Montreal.A Board of Directors was elected, consisting of Mr.H.Lyman, President ; Mr.S.H.May, Vice-President ; Mr.W.S.Paterson, Secretary-Treasurer ; Messrs.A.Ramsay, H.W.Atwater, R.C.Jamieson, and R.Logie, Directors.A Board of Arbitration, consisting of Messrs.Ramsay, Atwater, McArthur, McDougall, and Manson, was elected.CHICAGO LUMBER MARKET.Chicago, April 5.The market is very active and firm.The shipments are unusually large, the bulk of the lumber going West, to the country which is ordinarily supplied by the Mississippi River mills.In the pineries the prospect for getting the logs is no better.On the east shore the logs banked will all be obtained during the season.In the Green Bay districts the rivers are low, and a good deal of money wtll be expended in getting the logs, which will probably come out late.\u2014The outlook seems to be poorest on the Upper Mississippi and branches.There are about 600,000 m ft old and 420,-000 m ft new logs in the streams in the Mississippi district, which are, it is said, in a worse plight now than last year.A letter from Chippewa Falls says the river is very low, and unless heavy rains fall the logs will remain where they are.The result in the river district will determine the future of lumber this season.Cargo schr Leland, from Ludington, 107 m ft green joists and scantling was sold yesterday at $9.50, mill tally.This is the first cargo sale of dimension stuff this season, and the opening price is $2.00 higher than a year ago.This cargo was purchased for Dwight, Ill., and it was reported that several more will follow.The east shore mills are starting, and moderate receipts are expected this month.A small fleet will be due Monday.Following are the yard prices: First and second clear, 1* and 2 in.,$\t34.00 vrhlrd clear, l* to two men.28.00@30.00 First and second clear dressed siding 17.00 First common dressed

Great Britain :\u2014 SCOTCH PIG IKON has remained fairly steady, but there has been no quotable change in makers\u2019 prices.There are now 87 furnaces blowing in Scotland and 170,197 tons in Ccnnal\u2019s stores\u2014a decrease of Scotch of 159 tons during the week.The foreign shipments to date have reached 29,982 tons, as against 34,353 tons last year, and those coastwise to 31,610 tons,

NORTHERN DISTRICT is quiet, with a good business, however, in ship plates.Bolckow Vaughan\u2019s rail milli The following article, from the New York Bulletin, contains so much that is applicable to our own country as well as to the United States, that we reproduce it, feeling sure that it will be read with interest, and hoping that some of the good advice given may bring forth fruit :\u2014 \u201cWe never remember a time when there were so many specifics as now propounded in the public journals, as well as by political economists, for getting rid of the \u201chard times\u201d and bringing back the era when commercial and business prosperity ran in the same even groove with national honor and individual integrity.While one has but little sympathy with the disposition that, in a canting spirit, is ever attributing superior virtues to preceding generations, we suppose it may he readily conceded that there was once some such an era, and that the mind of many an old merchant to-day runs back to it with pleasurable emotion.It may occur to the reader that one of the specifics for restoring that era has not had imparted to it the importance it deserves.We mean a nicer sense of individual responsibility in business life than can be said at present to be as widely diffused as it ought to be.The commercial and financial wrecks which have been witnessed during the few years past have but too frequently had as their most forbidding feature a total obliviousness to the binding character of what it may be old-fashioned to speak of as moral obligation.We shall never get back to the growth of safe and enduring prosperity until men\u2019s perceptions in that particular are clearer and more pronounced.The multitudinous so-called \u201cbad debts\u201d which from day to day are dragging down commercial houses of long standing and undoubted integrity, are a painful exemplification in part of what we mean.The truth is, there is not in the ethics of trade, as there is not in morals, any such thing as \u201cbad debts.\u201d A debt is a thing absolute which the debtor cannot repudiate or seek to evade without dishonour.It can never he self.cancelled.The creditor, indeed, may forgive the debt, or the debt itself may be too heavy to warrant the hope that even with life-long sacrifice and honest endeavor it can ever be lifted.In the former case, the obligation disappears without entailing discredit upon the debtor ; in the latter, it is in one sense, certainly, a \u201cbad debt,\u201d but the badness is not of a kind that impeaches the integrity of him upon whose shoulders it rests, though in originally incurring the obligation, whatever it might be, his judgment or business sagacity may not have been infallible.There is a class of \u201cbad debts\u201d and bad debtors, however, beyond this circle, 'of which the business world at present has too many.In this class we include especially the trader who thinks this is a good time to fail, and has no more compunction about putting off his creditors with twenty or thirty cents on the dollar than he has in purchasing goods knowing at the time that he never intends to pay for them.This, of course, is downright fraud, no matter whether our easy-going bankrupt law designates it a \u201ccomposition \u201d or not.It is difficult to estimate to what an extent dishonest men have availed themselves of the facilities which the law, as well as the mercantile demoralization of the times, presents for the defrauding creditors who have placed confidence in them.We recorded in the Bulletin, only a day or two ago, the case of an old commercial firm of nearly a hundred years\u2019 undoubted standing which has been brought down chiefly by \u201c bad debts,\u201d and of another, of scarcely less respectability, that went the same way a few hours subsequently, for the same reason ; and if the \u201c bad debts \u201d which figure in the schedules we are publishing from day to day, as part of bankruptcy proceedings, could be analyzed, we are inclined to think the result would show that the trouble is, not that people cannot, but that they will not, pay what they owe.The feeling is, with the unscrupulous debtor, that as \u201c everybody else is failing, 1 will fail too.\u201d And in this way many a strong house that has never had a stain upon its credit has been forced to go to the wall.It is to hoped, therefore, that in the various specifics to promote the return of better times to which we have referred, the importance of a higher standard of moral obligation in all the business relations of life will have its proper place.The country has been made altogether too familiar with the \u201c repudiation \u201d idea by the low grade of statesmen who have of late years had the shaping of national and State legislation, and in searching for the causes of the depravity in business and commercial life which has its expression in this phrase \u201c bad debts,\u201d it would be curious to ascertain how far the obliquity of man in public life has insensibly impressed itself upon private individuals.We do not care to push the inquiry beyond the limits of a simple suggestion, but simply to reiterate the point, that until we cease to publicly and privately familiarize ourselves with the expectation that one can ever get rid o f his debts, except by paying them, be they what they may, we shall never recover that fair dealing between man and man, and that high commercial integrity which were the distinguishing characteristics of business life before \u201c bad debts \u201d were come to be things so common, if not so popular even, as to do away with the old-time odor of reproach.\u201d @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 5 45 5 30 4\t75 5\t55 4 30 4 00 3 50 2 70 2 80 @

herself.There would seem to be no reason, in a European sense, why Eussia should seek influence in the Mediterranean.England holds Malta and Gibraltar, not for herself, but for the Powers.She provides a naval police which furnishes _ a safeguard for Europe.If Eussia wishes to add her complement, in unison with other European Powers, England will hardly object.But English preponderance is a very different thing to Eussian preponderance, and that is the main point which statesmen of the An-drassy class will have to consider.FOEEIGN.\u2014All military furloughs in India are stopped.\u2014The feeling of the Porte is now strong against Eussia.\u2014A rumour prevails in Athens that England will occupy Crete.\u2014It is now said the Koumanian Agent \u201c misunderstood\u201d Gortschakoff.\u2014There is not a single mahufactory of any kind in the Cape Colony.1 he Turks are to re-occupy Bujukdere whence the Eussians demanded permission to embark.\u2014The German Emperor is civil to the new Pope, but he does not indicate the basis of negotiations for a compromise.\u2014An important (letter is said to have been received at St.Petersburgh from Berlin suggesting concessions to avoid war.\u2014The Khedive is stated to have declared that should Turkey form an alliance against England he would declare Egypt independent.\u2014The Eussians have apparently renewed their efforts to secure positions on the Bosphorus, and the surrerder of the Turkish iron-ciads.\u2014Eussia it is now said offers to withdraw from the neighbourhood of Constan- tinople if the British fleet is withdrawn * from Marmora.\u2014Eussian official newspapers say that by involving Eussia\u2019s dignity England has made it impossible for Eussia to yield to her demands.\u2014Austria is credited with the intention of letting England and Eussia fight, and then exacting her own terms from the lat^ ter for Austrian neutrality.\u2014Capt.Burton is said to have re-discovered in the \u201c Land of Midian,\u201d on tha shores of the Bed Sea, the rich, auriferous region mentioned in the Bible.\u2014In order to restore confidence to Europe it is rumoured that Gortschakoff may resign in favour of Count Schouvaloff the Eussian Ambassador at L indon.\u2014Austria is said to have assured the Porte that she will oppose the San Stefano treaty.A statement of Austria\u2019s views has been transmitted to St.Petersburgh.\u2014The Premier of Hungary is reported to have said that Austro-Hungary will prevent, if necessary by war, the establishment of a Slav State on their Southern frontier.\u2014The Eussians are said in one telegram to be commencing a homeward march, and in another they are taking up strategic positions in Turkey and South-western Eussia.\u2014Saturday\u2019s telegrams from St.Petersburgh point to a possibility of war being averted\u2014thanks to the influence of what is called the \u201cPeace Party,\" which is gaining an ascendancy over the Czar.\u2014\u201c The Eussians are concentrating at Jassy.\u201d This is one of the last telegrams from Bucharest, and it seems strangely like telegrams received in England prior to the Eussian invasion of 1854.\u2014Yefyk Pasha, who is reported seriously ill, considers that in the event of an Anglo-Eussian war the Porte should not resist the passage or the British fleet through the Bosphorus to the Black Sea.\u2014The Eussians have renewed their demand for permission te embark troops at Bujukdere.The Turks have 248 battalions in the neighbourhood of Constantinople and Gallipoli, all on a war footing.\u2014Prince Charles of Eoumania is credited with an intention of replying to Gortschakoff\u2019s threats \u201c that the .Roumanian army may be utterly crushed, but so long as lie\u201d (Prince Charles) \"lives, it shall not be disarmed.\u201d \u2014Eussia is evidently toying with Austria, and Austria thinks she may secure better terms for herself after England and Eussia are engaged than now.But the Hungarians are all for Turkey, and England and Austria without Hungary is powerless.The Court Party which has, all along, been Pro-Eussian, can do nothing without Hungarian assistance.\u2014The Journal de St.Pctersbou- ÿ alluding to England\u2019s willingness to consider the views of Austrian statesmen says, \u201c Eussia can tranquilly regard the waverings of a nervous policy while herself maintaining her position unmoved.\u201d The Gazette, a journal printed in the Eussian language, has received a warning for printing an article inciting to war.\u2022\u2014The New York Herald publishes a cablegram professing to give Austria\u2019s scheme of compromise which, briefly put, is to divide European Turkey into three separate autonomies, one under the protection of Eussia, one of Austria, and one of England.The whole scheme has the look of having beenmanufaetnred in New York for sensational purposes.\u2014Eussia seems to be depending on a Turkish alliance.The Turks are sufficiently astute to know that alliance with Eussia, at.this time, would have no more cohesion than a rope of sand.Eussia has no money ; without money men cannot be paid ; and without an army paid, and therefore contented, success cannot be hoped for.Vefyk Pasha is, meantime, believed to be antagonistic to Eussia.\u2014It is believed at St.Petersburgh that war may be averted, and as they think so there, perhaps it may.It looks as though Eussia wished to creep out of a false position through the influence of the German Emperor\u2014but it is doubtful whether any Power can assume the paît of mediator between England and Eussia.In fact there is no escape for Eussia.She must accept war, for which she is utterly unprepared\u2014or humiliation, which means the abrogation of the St.Stefano treaty.\u2014It is quite evident from Saturday\u2019s telegrams, that Austria and Germany\u2014as in 1854\u2014recognize the fact that Eussia ought to be opposed, but that they depend on England for the initiative.If England will fight Germany\u2019s and Austria\u2019s battles at England\u2019s expense, the continental idea will be satisfied ; but, rather than draw the sword, Austria, particularly, would depend upon her chances of aggrandisement by courting Eussia.The only German interest imperilled, is a Hohenzollern interest.Prince Charles, of Eoumania, is a German, and it is significant that the Eoumanian Premier left Bucharest for Berlin, on Friday.In these days, however, families have little to do with the direction of affairs.No better proof of the inutility, in a political sense, of royal alliances could be found, than the fact that the second son of the Queen.is the husband of a Eussian Princess, and that the young King of Greece married a sister of the Princess of Wales.were always safe to be with the Government, and the road was diverted accordingly.What, says General Seymour, who, it is to be observed, is entirely confirmed by the statements detail of Mr.Archambault in the Legislative Council ?\u201c If the loca-\u201c tion of the line, and the plans of \u201c construction which were contemplated, \u201c and provided for in the contract had \u201c been faithfully adhered to by the \u201c Government, a first-class railway \u201c would long since have been completed \u201c and in successful operation from Que-\u201c bee to Montreal, which would have \u201c been several miles shorter, have had \u201c much more favourable grades, and \u201c have cost at least one million dollars \u201c less than the one now contemplated, \u201c and only about half constructed by \u201c the late Government.\u201d There is the whole story put into a compact shape.By acting in good faith, and in accordance with Acts of Parliament passed at their own invitation, the Provincial Ministry could have had the direct road now running for one million less than their revised scheme will cost, if carried out.Moreover, they would not have required to adopt any Algerine legislation, since faith would have been kept with both Quebec and Montreal, and neither city would have refused to pay its subsidies.There would, therefore, have been no deficit, and no Ministerial crisis.The electors of the country at large will now have to decide whether they will undergo increased and vexatious taxation, only because of a capricious diversion of the route once solemnly adopted by Parliament, and contracted for only in order that Government might favor a particular and not very important locality.The citizens of Montreal will have to decide whether they will consent to be burdened, to fillup a deficit caused by a change of route made in order to divert the trade from them, while the full payment of their subsidy is to be nevertheless enforced by the most arbitrary, odious, and tyrannical legislation.TIIH LATE PROVINCIAL MINISTRY.The late Provincial Government stands before the country charged with two offences.It proposed to levy, all over the country, an oppressive tax upon the most necessary transactions.It proposed to take, by the throat, the citizens of Quebec, Montreal, and other Municipalities, -and quoad a particular purpose to abolish Municipal self-government, at the same time that it destroyed the right of all British subjects to the protection of the Courts in the interpretation of contracts.It may however, he not unreasonably asked what else the Government could do to meet its engagements?The reply is that it should not have had these heavy engagements to meet.It is not the case of an Administration bound by a policy deliberately assumed by the country, at the invitation of its predecessors, and obliged, therefore, except at the cost of a breach of public faith is carry out engagements, against the formation of which they have pro.tested.The rash undertakings which have brought the Treasury into its present condition, are the prime and worst part of the Ministerial offences.And among these, the worst of all is one which involves another breach of public faith,-we mean the change of the route at first selected for the North Shore Road, in such a way as to give this city the go-by.The whole present deficit may be found in that change of route, and in the expenses which it added to the original plan.This was ably stated by a late colleague of the Ministers, during the recent Session.The facts will, however, bear repeating, now that the electors are called to sit in judgment on the doings of these gentlemen.In 1875 the Provincial Government contracted for the North Shore route, for a fixed and lump sum, without extras, unless under one of these two circumstances\u2014first, in case of a change of route ; second, in case the extras were specially ordered by the Government.General Seymour, who had at one time a largo interest in the construction of the road between Quebec and Montreal, has made this very clear.He says, in a recent letter to the Quebec Budget, that everything had been so well calculated in advance, and the contracts so stringent, that the Treasurer, Mr.Robertson, \u201cfrequently, and justly, boast-\u201c ed that he had accomplished what he \u201c believed had never before been done, \u201c in closing a railway contract, under \u201c which, if properly administered, the \u201c contractor was bound to deliver a \u201c first-class railway, without having a \u201c just claim for a dollar, beyond the \u201c gross consideration named in the con-\u201c tract.\u201d The ways and means were all provided, and amply provided for the scheme so adopted ; but a remarkable change came over the spirit of the railway dream of Mr.de Boucherville.His Railway Commissioners recommended, and he accepted, just one of those changes of route, which gave the opening to extras that Mr.Robertson believed he bad shut.Terrebonne was considered a much more important place than Montreal, whose members entertained, even if it were not the clear duty of the Corporation, imposed by the agreement with the Government under which the drill-shed was erected, to put in ; the unsightly ruin on Craig street into good repair, and to keep it so.The 812,000 which the city received from ttie Government ought to he quite sufficient to put a roof on the building.Iron is cheap at the present time,and the manu\" facture of iron roofs is carried to such perfection that they are now built for half what they cost five years ago.The idea of putting a second story on the building, and still using the lower part for a Corporation yard, is an absurd ona ; neither cavalry nor artillery would be provided for, and a battalion marching is the severest test that can be applied to a floor, which for such a purpose would require much extra material and prove very costly.A light iron roof, and a few inexpensive fittings for arm-racks, harness and artillery stores would complete the building.We see uo reason why the City Council should not discharge its plain duty, and a great deal of reason why it should.As the Chairman of the Road Committee is about to take steps to have the Champ do Mars put in good order, he should be thorough, and recommend the fulfillment of the rest of the City\u2019s obligations to the Militia, in which suggestion he would, we are certain, be supported by all our citizens.TUE MEMBER FOR NORTHUMBERLAND.\" Who,\u201d said Mr.Peter Mitchell, a member of the Canadian House of Commons, to the members who were trying by interruptions to choke him off, \u201c who brayed there ?\u201d \u201cIt was an echo,\u201d retorted a member amid a yell of delight.\u201d\u2014N.Y.World.We did not see in our exchanges, East or West, any reference to the circumstance noted above, hut when the course of the member for Northumberland during the present session is considered, it would seem disingenuous to refuse credit to the story.The hon.gentleman has been so uncommonly prononce in his dissertations on Rideau Hall expenditure, on Lord Dufferin\u2019s expenses in Manitoba and British Columbia, on the enormity of the Government\u2019s refusal to grant compensation (before the institution of due enquiry) for the killing of one or two cows on the Intercolonial, and on several other questions, not particularly interesting either to the members or the general public, that we can thoroughly appreciate the \u201cappositeness of the retort mentioned by the World, while at the same time confessing ourselves at a loss to understand why the hon.gentleman should aspire to occupy the doubtful position of being the political Ishmaelite of the Canadian Gommons.Whether through \u201c nateral cussedness,\u201d or a desire to make himself conspicuous\u2014no matter at what cost\u2014Mr.Mitchell can certainly claim the questionable merit of having taken up a good deal of valuable time since the Session commenced, without, however, being in a position to exhibit any real results obtained through his disinterested and unwearied exertions.In this, unfortunately, he is not unique\u2014a circumstance which somewhat detracts from the novelty of bis role and lays him uncomfortably open to a charge of plagiarism.Comparisons are odious, and we are sure Mr.Mitchell would resent as an indignity, the bare suggestion of there being an affinity between Mr.Bunster and himself, and of their joint capacity to furnish material for a future edition of poor Albert Smith\u2019s \u201c Natural History of Bores.\u201d Yet, regard for truth compels us to say that Mr.Mitchell is far from being looked upon as original, in the character he has worked out for himself ; that, as yet, he has exhibited no specialty in boredom entitling him to a first-class place in the ranks of the illustrious few, who, from time immemorial, have wearied or amused Legis.lative Assemblies, and who have been sometimes regarded as sent in the character of a chastisement for the sins which Mr.Goldwin Smith declares are the inevitable outcome of party Government.If Mr.Mitchell\u2019s boredom had anything original about it\u2014if he could be credited with a set purpose, and honest intention to right a wrong, or expose misgovernment\u2014his eccentricities might receive a certain measure of toleration.As it is, he is neither a Joseph Hume, or a Sib thorp, or a Kenealy, or a Bunster, but a compound of all four, with most of their weaknesses, and, it is to be feared, little of their sincerity.The sooner the member for Northumberland sets himself to work of practical legislation, and ceases to obstruct the public business, the better for all parties.As the leader of the party of One, he cannot be pronounced a success, and it is time he should realise, as probably his constituents have already realised, the inconvenience \u2014 not to say absurdity \u2014of his pqsition.THE DRILL SHED.The want of proper accommodation for the Volunteer force of this city has been the subject of numerous representations to the Council, and was loudly commented upon by Lieutenant-General Smythe last autumn ; but Corporations are soulless, and even when roused to ^action move slowly.There seems, however, at last to be some prospect of haring the matter of the Drill Shed taken in hand.The conference between the Commanding Officers and the Road Committee, last week, resulted in a definite and \u2022 undeniable statement of the needs of the City Brigade of Militia, and the best way of meeting them.That the different corps should have a common drill shed, with plenty of room for battalion manœuvres, and that the armouries should be together in a central position, so as to be both readily accessible and defensible by one guard, instead of isolated and requiring the reduction of the force available in an emergency\u2014and none too large a force at the best\u2014by three or more large guards, are propositions that cannot he questioned.There is no doubt as to the duty of the City to make such provision as will place the force, which has striven so hard against all difficulties, and has shown itself so prompt and efficient when its services were needed, in possession of a decent building, instead of the present inadequate accommodation.The proposal to erect two drill-sheds, one at each end of the city, is an untenable one.The expense and the unsuitability both forbid its being THE CANADA LIFE J N SU RANCE COMPANY A N D MR.E.H.GOFF.We insert this morning a letter from Mr.Goff, in defence of charges made against him in other journals.It is not our intention to open our columns to continue the discussion of a question now before the Courts, but we thick, i* this instance, Mr.Goff is entitled to be heard, seeing that he has been assailed publicly, and denied the opportunity of defending himself.EXPLANATION FROM MR.E.H.GOFF.To the Bûltor ot the Montkeal Herald.Sib,\u2014The enclosed letter, which I addressed to the editor of the Witness a few days, ago is refused insertion in that journal, though I have been most unjustly assailed.Will you do me the favour to insert in your next issue, and greatly oblige Yours truly, Edward H.Goff.St.Albans, 4th April, 1878.To the Editor ot the Daily Witness \u2022 My attention has been called to the various uncomplimentary items in your paper during the past ten days regarding my absence from Montreal, and my connection with the \u201c Canada Agricultural\u201d and \u201c National Insurance Co.\u2019s;\u201d as well as Mr.P.S.Ross\u2019 letter published in the Daily Star of the I9ch inst., and your remarks regarding it.I desire to set at rest all suspicion and surmises in the public mind about my absence, as well as my intentions about returning, to stop this contemptable running warfare of scuril-lous squibs, which are inspired simply for effect, and to create prejudice against me.When opponents are forced to resort to this kind of sensational nonsense to sustain their cause, I think an intelligent public opinion should take it at its true value, and treat it with the contempt which it deserves.My absence from Montreal is caused solely on account of my railway business (the larger monetary interest in same, as well as its American connections are in Vermont and Boston), and the difficulties in which it has been involved during the past eight months, all of which are of the utmost importance to me, as my friends, and those intimately acquainted with my business are well aware, and which required so much of my attention for a few weeks.I could not afford to spend my time in contesting an unprineipaled and harrassing legal warfare, waged by men who are actuated in their attacks by pure malice and vindictiveness.The moment this business is arranged, I shall return to Montreal to remain permanently, prepared to face my enemies, and let the Courts decide the question of who the guilty parties really are in this controversy.Until I can return, I do not consider it consistent with common honesty or fairness that publie opinion should be influenced by these ex parte statements, the very tone of which reveal the object for which they are inspired.Any allusions made by me in my pamphlet regarding the National Insurance Company and its representatives, were based upon facts, which I am quite prepared to substantiate.'The item in tbe Witness, of the 15th instant, \u201c Mr.Goff having been dis-\u201c missed from the management of the \u201c National, perhaps, regards it as the \u201c origin of everything that is said in \u201c criticism of any of the events of his \u201c very checkered career,\u201d is a wilful slander.In my absence from the city Mi-.Sowdon replied to this attack, which brought forth a letter from Mr.Ross on the 19th instant, in which he says :\u2014 \u201c Every one acquainted with the circum-\u201c stances knows that Mr.Goff resigned \u201c the management of the National (it \u201c was, however, slightly forced) in con-\u201c nection with an appropriation of \u201c Coupons cut off that Company\u2019s \u201c Bonds by him, and which I billed \u201c him with, and the equivalent of which \u201c he was made to disgorge.\u201d The above charge I brand as a falsehood of the basest deswiption, and is quite in keeping, with the numerous acts of enmity I have had to encounter from the officials of the National Insurance Oompany since it commenced business.Immediately after the Company opened its doors for business in January, 1876, the most determined efforts were made by the President and Secretary to undermine the \u201c Canada

that his entire wearing apperel of the previous day had been stolen, besides 10 bottles of liquor, two jars of pickles, several cans of fish and fruit, and §1.50 in money from his store underneath his residence.He was further informed that the constable had detected two men in the act of carrying the articles mentioned into a house at the comer of Notre Dame and St.Alexis streets, at one time a notorious gambling hell, and that they were arrested in the act of secreting the goods.The prisoners appeared before the Police Magistrate at 10 a.m., when they answered to the nan es of John Hancock, plumber, and James Donnelly, labourer, and were remanded for examinaticn.The stolen clothing of Mr.Gauthier was produced in Court.It appears that 'the prisoners when arrested were wearing the articles, and while in the ceils tore the coat and waistcoat into pieces, and exchanged the trousers with a fellow-prisoner.The City Council will meet to-day at three p.m.NEW BOOKS.Brother Jacob\u2014The Lifted Veil.Dawson Bros.;

there will, therefore, be another volume, as there are papers still unpublished up to the death of His late Royal Highness in 1861.Cyprus : Its Ancient Cities, Tombs, and Temples, etc.By General Louis Palma di Cesnola.With Maps and Illustrations.Harper & Brothers ; New York, and Dawson & Bros., Montreal.The importance of this work, published simultaneously by Murray in London, and by Harper & Brothers, New York, can hardly be over-estimated.The results of General Cesnola\u2019s explorations in Cyprus have been to give to the modern world the first information it has possessed concerning Phœnician art, and to furnish a series of illustrations in many thousand examples of the art history of the world in what has before been considered\u2014as related to Greek art\u2014the pre-historic period.The Cesnola collections, purchased by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and now permanently established in America, are recognized by arcbæologists throughout the world as exhibiting the birth, childhood, and growth to maturity of that Greek art which was in one sense the mother of all beautiful art in all subsequent ages.Their value is illustrated immediately by the fact that discoveries like those of Schliemann at Hissarlik and Mycenae are found to consist in great proportion of local art specimens, of which the Cesnola collection contains large numbers of examples in progressive and complete condition.The Cypriote discoveries of Cesnola, furnishing a complete history of art for fifteen hundred years, with illustrations, are the reference collection of the world, to which local discoveries must be brought for comparison and arrangement.But General Cesnola\u2019s book is not a dry archaeological treatise.On the contrary, it is a breezy, genial, pleasant story of the life of an explorer in the island of Cyprus, surreunded by queer people, with whom he has queer adventures, and this life constantly invested with peculiar interest by his excavations and the unearthing of treasures of bronze, alabaster, marble, silver, and gold.The book opens with an introduc-tiorf which exhibits a marvel of laborious research, being a History of Cyprus.This exists nowhere else, in encyclopedia, historical work, or book of travels.Cesnola has had as bard work in digging out of innumerable hidden places this°brief, compact, and remarkable history, as he had in opening tombs.The introduction is necessary to the clear enjoyment of the book, for it shows that the American consul was residing among Turks, Greeks, and Arabs on an island rich m historical associations of Phoenicians, Egyptians, and Greeks of old time, Romans, Italians, English Crusaders, and Moslems of modern times, and that under the ground must be lying the dust of all these families of men, and perhaps the relics of their arts.This idea impelled Cesnola to dig, and he dug, with wonderful success, for ten years.The volume is illustrated with several hundred wood-cuts, exhibiting gold and silver jewellery, marble statuary, ceramic art in vases and many other antique forms\u2019, engraved gems of rare beauty, scenes and scenery in Cyrpus, plans of excavations, maps\u2014in short, all that could be desired in examples of the classes of art which Cesnola has revealed to the modern world.Mr.C.W.King, the greatest living authority on engraved gems, has added to the book an appendix on the engraved stones, which he regards as among the most im-portant known in the world.This appendix has as great value to the lover of intaglio-work as one of Mr.King\u2019s well-known volumes, especially as the gems are here illustrated and referred to by num-bei.After this is an appendix by Mr.A.S.Murray of the British Museum, on the pottery of Cyprus, in which he furnishes an epitome of valuable information.A readable book of archaeology is a rarity, but this work is not only readable, it is genial and delightful, learned and cheery, amusing and instructive.A.L.Cummins, plea, \" not THE BOARD OF CHAIRMEN held an adjourned meeting on Saturday, when estimates of appropriations were further considered.There were present.Aid.Nelson in the Chair, His Worship the Mayor and Aids.Donovan, Mercer, Wilson, Holland, Hood, Kennedy, Melancon, Mul-lin, McCord, and Hagar, the City Clerk, and the City Auditor.The Parks and Ferries Committee appropriations were firs t taken up and reduced from $5,072 to $3,000, as fellows :\u2014The pay of two constables employed on Logan\u2019s Farm are annually and the other during the summer months, was reduced $52 and $30 respectively.Three constables are struck off the St.Helen\u2019s Island Park force at a save of $672, the Superintendent at a salary of $400 per annum, with residence and use of spare timber, and one cons able at a salary of $252 for the summer months, to do duty, with the assistance of city or special police, on holidays or excursions at expenses of excursionists.The staff of six labourers for the Park was reduced to three.$ 100 only was allowed for cartage, instead of $200 ; $50 instead of $90 for police uniform; and $326 for repairs and saplings instead of $774.The Health Department appropriations created considerable discussion, as usual Aid.Laurent did not see that the Sanitary Inspector, Mr.Radford, needed Mr.Grant as an assistant for drain inspection.He had heard of Mr.Grant approving of a drain that he had never looked at.Aid.Melancon complained that Mr.Radford and Mr, Grant were always together, and that, consequently, one man could do the work.Aid.Donovan said drain inspection by the Health Department was a farce.The Mayor and Aid.Laurent (simultaneously)\u2014It is a farce ! Aid.Donovan explained that in one of his houses on St.Antoine street, the Department kept the builder (Lavers) waiting some time, and then never inspected the plaça at all.AÎ .Melancon said he had been charged $20 by the came Department for nothing.Aid.Mullin said drain inspection was the City Surveyor\u2019s work.Aid, McCord desired to explain.The Mayor said Aid.McCord would keep the Committee loitering the whole afternoon, if they would let him, repeating the same thing.Aid.McCord was \"a spoiled child,\u201d and liked to spend the cappers freely.Aid.McCord explained that house and street drain inspection were totally different departments.He referred to the work done in the past by the Committee, who had substituted for a useless Health Bylaw, one which, though not perfect, in many respects had proved of great benefit to the city, framed, as it was, after the Health By-law of the City of London.The great mortality of this city in years passed, had been almost entirely owing to the poisonous gases which pervaded the houses by reason of defective drainage, which was now improved as quickly as discovered!; and, in order to°prevent the careless construction of such drains in the future, an assistant to Mr.Radford had been appointed, whose special duty it was, under Mr.Radford, to inspect and supervise the construction of these drains, and he had proved himself to be a really valuable servant.Aid.Donovan said he knew whole streets where there are no surface drains.The Mayor said it simply amounted to the fact that Aid.McCord wanted to keep his friends in position.He contended that the Health Committee was composed of too many members, and expressed a desire to see a change in the Chairmanship of that Committee.Aid.Mercer said, from the tone of the discussion on health matters, on Thursday night, and as so far experienced that afternoon, he would, if he were Aid.Mc'Jord, withdraw ;his application and throw the whole question open to the Council and the citizens to settle.He must say there had been very strange views brought in even that day, as for instance, the reference to the City Surveyor, who really has nothing to do with the question whatever.Aid.Mullin said the City Surveyor was Chief Engineer of the city, and was, therefore, in charge of all drains.Aid.McCord, in reply to the Mayor, explained that it was the duty of the Health Department to see that all house drains were properly connected with the street drain.Aid.Kennedy said he knew several instances that would go to prove that the health officials were not skilled in drainmaking.Aid.McCord, continuing his remarks, said he had no desire to continue as Chairman of Health, if a proper successor could be found.He knew the citizens appreciated what had been done in the interests of the health of the city, far more than the Council, and therefore he kept his temper, and was present at the meetings of the Board of Chairmen.He was sorry to hear the Mayor say what he did respecting the Department, which he believed by its prompt action and constant vigilance had saved many lives ; and was of equal importance with any other Committee.Referring to Aid.Mercer\u2019s remarks, he said he did not wish to appeal to the citizens until he had exhausted every other effort.He intended leaving the Department as efficient as possible, and for that reason was willing to give place to Aid.Childs, as one well acquainted with the working of the Department or Aid.Mercer.The Mayor said so many objections had been made to the working of that Committee, that he thought Aid.McCord ought to resign.He asked Aid.McCord to resign like a gentleman.Aid.Laberge said when statements were made he liked to see them proved, and would like that done in this instance.Aid.Nelson called the meeting to business.The estimated appropriations were actively discussed, but no material alteration was made.Aid.Holland moved in substance that Mr.Radford\u2019s assistant and messenger be cut off, and that a boy be employed to run messages.The motion was lost.Aid.Donovan objected to so many sanitary police, and contended that they did net inspect the City thoroughly.There was stink enough in Aqueduct street to knock a horse down, and he had not seen a sanitary policeman in his neighbourhood for five years.Aid.MoCord pressed the worthy Aider-man to name one street that was not visited, and he would have the matter investigated.Aid.Donovan declined to do so.The appropriations were passed.The total amount asked was $13,670.$500 for printing was struck off and added to the general stationery account.$3,000 instead of $4,000 was allowed for the Civic Hospital; $200 instead of $300 for contingencies ; $300 bonus asked for Dr.Larocque, for extra attendance at the Small-pox Hospital, was disallowed.Total amount struck off, $1,900.The Water Committee estimates were passed through very pleasantly.The following table shows the reduction made : \u2014 REPAIRS SHOP.Amount asked.Repairs to streets and footpaths.$3,000 Rebuilding work shops.6,000 Struck off.$1,000 6,000 water debarments.Testing and repairs.$ 500 $ 117 sault on guilty.\u201d NO BILLS.Charles Beaudry, unlawfully putting into stamped packages, cigars on which duty had not been pail.Toussaint Rien-deau, stealing from the person.John Derfet Bennett, forgery.Joseph James Gardner, William Christie, George Kelly, William John Gardner, George Beattie, Robert Beattie, and George Brazier, feloniously causing grievous bodily harm to John Gunning Bell with intent to murder.BAIL REFUSED.Mr.D.McMaster moved for the release on bail of Robert McIntosh, charged\u2019 with shooting with intent, &e.and in support of his motion submitted two affidavits proving au alt6i.Mr.Archambault objected, and the application was refused.At the afternoon session the Grand Jury returned the following TRUE BILLS.Ulrio Lamoureux, negleting to provide for his wife ; Edmond Massey and Eugene Veune, larceny; Alphonse Parent and Patrick Slattery, robbery; Geo.Maurice Jaoobs, feloniously demanding money with menaces, &c.; Thomas James Mansfield, perjury.NO BILLS.John C.Hart, perjury ; Emelie Mercier, stealing from the person.ALLEGED LARCENY.Louis and Leon Cohn, charged with stealing tools from Mr.Charles Martin, manufacturer and importer, their employer, next came up.On the application of Mr.W.G.Cruikshanks for the defence,the prisoners were allowed to sever on their trials.Louis Cohn was first placed in the dock.The evidence fer the prosecution went to show that the prisoner, prior to his arrest, was manager, and the son foreman to the complainant in his workshop ; and that they took home a quantity of tools unbeknown to Martin, who was made acquainted of the facts by one Hill, a workman, who had been discharged at the instance of Cohn, whereupon the present action was taken.For the defense it was contended that the tools were taken by the prisoners for temporary use at their home, in improving Martin\u2019s tools, and to complete work of the latter after work-hours, and that no attempt was made at secrecy in the matter.A verdict of \u201c not guilty\u201d was returned.The jury, on the recommendation of the Crown, and instructed by Court, returned a formal verdict of \u201cnot guilty\u201d in the case of the son, Leon Louis, and the prisoners were discharged.The Court adjourned till this morning at 10.$ 100 35 HIGH LEVEL SERVICE.Fuel for engine.$2,400 Wages to men running do\t1,400 Workshops and Wheelhouse wages (general).600\t97 Wages (staff).420\t75 The total amount asked was $73,644, of which $9,644 was struck off.The Board on receiving explanations from Mr.Lesage, decided to allow an item of $1,000, in order that Mr.Lesage may retain as his assistant for the remainder of the year the engineer in charge of the new Inland Cut (Mr.McConnel) on the completion of that work at mid-summer.Mr.McConnel is highly spoken of as a Civil Engineer.The Board adjourned at six p.m., till to-morrow at three.COURT OF QUEEN\u2019S BEN011-CRIMINAL SIDE.MARCH TERM.Satuday, April 6th, 1878.Present\u2014The Hon.Mr.Justice Monk.Mr.T.Ritchie, Q.C\u201e and Mr.Archambault, Q.C., for the Crown.Mr.W.H.Kerr, Q.C., moved that the indictment against Joseph and Eusebe Migneault, for neglecting to provide for their father, be quashed, on the ground that such neglect on the part of a son did not, under the form of the Statute, constitute the offence as laid in the indictment.Mr.Archambault, Q.C., objected, and the Court took the question en délibéré.The Grand Jury brought in the following TRUE bills.Zenophite Galipeau, obtaining goods under false pretences, four indictments, plea, severally, \u201cguilty.\u201d Francois Geniu, Marie Genin, Victorine Genin, censpiracy ;

Mr.Gratton, who he understood was the nephew of Senator Ail ens had also applied for some.(Laughter.) Witness therefore thought it would be a desirable speculation to have a hand in\u2014(laughter)\u2014and purchased lauds at Nepigon.Having been unsuccessful in getting the terminus of the Pacifie Railway located there.Witness afterwards atteffpted, along with Senator Girard and some others, to get a railway built from Thunder Bay to Winnipeg.It was to be called the Great North Western Railway, but that scheme also failed.(Laughter.) Witness then gave general evidence, corroborating the testimony of Mr.Davidson, with respect to the plan the latter obtained in 1875, and which was the first intimation he had that the terminus was to be located at Fort William.Mr.Joseph Davidson was also examined, but the evidence he gave was immaterial.IRISH LANDLORDISM.There is a lesson for landlords in the striking contrast between the story which the Earl of Rosebery\u2019s agent told of that nobleman\u2019s relation to his tenants, at a banquet given by them in honor of his wedding, and the story which the Dublin papers bring us of a lawsuit heard at the Donegal Assizes only a few days before the murder of the Earl of Leitrim, between that nobleman as appellant and Manus Clinton as respondent.The Clintons had held a farm of 244 acres of the noble house of Clements for three generations, the rent being Æ11 a year.In 1866 Lord Leitram took part of the farm from the tenant and raised the rent of the remainder to .£13.In 1876 Clinton\u2019s proffered rent-money was refused, and he was served with a notice to quit, because he and the other tenants had refused, after the passage of the Land Act, to pay 5s.a year for taking seaweed from the beach for manure, and £1 a year fo» it to be burned as kelp, besides the usual charge for turf tickets.Against their \u2019akiug the seaweed a Bill had been filed in Chancery, and an injunction granted.Clinton put in a claim under the Ulster custom for £600, as the value of the tenant right of his farm ; the Jury gave him £337 10s.and costs.Against this decree Lord Leitrim appealed, disputing the whole claim.Just as the mails brought this item of news, the telegraphic announcement of the Earl\u2019s taking off by some of these very tenants reached the city.Of course agrarian outrages are inconsistent with civilization.But there are other things also which must be admitted to be inconsistent with civilization, lest civilization itself as it now exists should be suddenly and unpleasantly proved incensistent with right and justice, and therefore with good order.It is not by British noblemen only, nor yet in Ireland alone, that this needs to be better understood than it always seems to be, even by those who are most deeply interested in understanding it.\u2014N.Y.World.HOTEL ARRIVALS.GENERAL NEWS.ALL SORTS.WINDSOR HOTEL.W H Fuller, A J Secotte and lady, Ottawa; J Lindsay, Quebec; Mr and Mrs James A Hastings; Mr and Mrs James L Dunn, StJolm, NB; Mr c Temple, Quebec; N Green, St John, N B- B F Jennings, Pittsburgh; W D B James, Three Elvers; James Isbester, G J Pyhe, Quebec; F H Berry, Montreal; G H Morse, Vermont; E L Hill Boston; S N Stirling, Hamilton; C L Goss, Burlington; W Griswold, Mr and Mrs Waddell and Miss Waddell, City; H A Allen, H C Smythe, Geo Smythe, and Crawlord Ross, Jno Tilton, Ottawa-H N Ballard, Evanston; G W Howlan, Ottawa: B 8 Peters, H Peters, St John, HB; Jas Domvfile\u2019 Ottawa; J E Moysley, J Hamilton, Halifax- G Irvine, Quebec; W Goulding, Toronto; A Loel New YorK; Thos A Hetteman, Guelph; W H Blayne, Saybrook; G L Gales, Guelph; J L Hugle, B C Thompson, A D Berry, c W Hvde Malone; Jas S Bulllck, City.ST.LAWRENCE HALL.Saturday\u2014Misses H E and K W Welch, Quebec; 11 W Welch, do; Mrs A Quesnal, Artha-baska; W T O\u2019Hei ly, Toronto; B Devlin, M P city; Jos H Smith, Frellghsburg; J M Lindsay\u2019 Troy, N Y; A Y Clagett, New York; W J Ma^ guire, Quebec; Mrs Campbell and child, city- Thos H Carman, Lachlne; John Wagner __\u2019 W H Chisholm, Lachute; L D Hatton, New York; M Baldwin, New York; M M Steele, Epsom, New Hampshire.Sunday\u2014Hon H G Malhlot, Three Rivers; Wm McD Davidson,-; E Shamy, city; F R Sing- ham, Belleville; J Thompson, St Benoit, Jno M Burnside, Toronto; K H Temple, do; P Harty Kingston; Harry Bawden, do; Jno Sullivan and lady, city; T McBride, Albany; A B Stafford Phllllpsburgh; T W Warden, Albany, New York ALBION HOTEL.John Carruthers, Prescott; J W Farrell Vienna,-!

technical instruction of bank clerks, delivery of lectures, etc.Significant\u2014The field equipment and mounted men of the 2nd Company Royal Engineers left the School of Military Engineering for Shorncliffe.Before taking their departure.Colonel Sir John Stokes addressed the men, and told them they were now fully equipped to take the field, and he felt sure if they were called upon they would do their duty.\u2014Prince Gortchakoff\u2019s cramp in the stomach was caused through age, and not througlfthe Eastern question.Education in Japan.\u2014The annual report of the Japanese Minister of Public Instruction shows remarkable advances in popular education since the report of last year.The number of new schools is upward of 4,600; new teachers, upward of 8,000 ; new scholars, 217,000.The total school attendance is nearly 2,000,000, or six per cent, of the entire population.The Khedive\u2019s Debts.\u2014Energetic measures are, it seems, being taken to enable the Khedive to pay his debts.An Alexandria telegram says 28,890 sacks of sugar belonging to the Daira estates of his Highness have been seized under a judgment of the International Tribunals.The sugar has been advertised for sale by auction.The telegram does not state that the product has been actually sold.Officers Wanted.\u2014In consequence of a want of officers for the Army, the Cadets, Cavalry and Infantry, who entered Sandhurst last summer, and whose period of probation at that Collige would expire in July, in ordinary circumstances, will be passed out next month ; while those who entered at the beginning of this year, and would complete their course in December, will be passed out and commissioned in July.A large number of commissions in the Line will also he available for Militia subalterns during the present year.Germany and Russia\u2014The Pans Constitutionnel, in an able article, draws attention to the inconsistency of the leading German papers, which, at the same time, approve the policy of Prince Bismarck for avoiding giving offence to Russia, and blame Count Andrassy for not offering a more vigorous resistance to that power.\u201c At bottom,\u201d remarks the writer, \u201c Germany is anti-Russian, for she knows that there are but 50,000,000 Germans as opposed to 120,000,000 Slavonians, who, when united in o one field, will become dangerous indeed.\u201d Sunshine.\u2014The Royal Observatory at Greenwich now takes note of the number of hours of sunshine daily enjoyed by the Londoners, using for the purpose Campbell\u2019s registering sun dial, a sphere of glass four inches in diameter, supported concentrically within a hemispherical bowl in such a manner that the image of the sun formed when the sun shines falls always on the concave surface of the bowl.On this concave surface is laid a strip of cardboard, held in position by suitable clamping pieces, on which the image of the sun is received, and, whenever the sun shines brightly, the cardboard becomes either discolored or blackened or altogether burned through.Freaks of Fashion\u2014The Governor of Malta gav4 a fancy dress ball upon an unusually extensive scale on one of the carnival days, which was attended by the Duchess of Edinburgh and all the mighty lodgers on the Rock.No person was permitted entree in everyday attire, for which cause Lady Petersham appeared dressed as an officer of hussars, in top hoots and all the rest of it.Colonel Mounsey came as the Khan of Tartary, Mrs.Herrirg as the maid in the garden hanging out the clothes, and Sir John St.George as a magpie.Perhaps the most costly and remarkable dresses were those worn by the two daughters of Sir Richard Wood, Her Majesty\u2019s representative in Tunis, the elder appearing in the robes of an Arab Sheik\u2019s wife, and the younger in the real cestume of a Princess of Lebanon.The Caprices of Telegraphy.\u2014We are requested by Reuter\u2019s Telegram Company to correct an erroneous announcement made in their Brisbane telegram of 2nd inst., published in some of our eontempo raries (but not in The Standard) last week, stating that \u201c Lady Kennedy had given birth to twins, the eldest being a son.\u201d The Company explain that the message they received contained the words, \u201c Governor of Queensland\u2014twins first son,\u201d Being, however, subsequently informed that Sir Arthur Kenedy was unmarried, and that there must be some mistake, a telegraphic repetition was at once demanded.It was received yesterday, and shows that the words really telegraphed by Reuter\u2019s agent were, \u201cGovernor of Queensland turns first sod,\u201d alluding to the Mary-borough-Gympic Railway in course of construction.The words quoted were mutilated by the telegraph in transmission from Australia, and reaching the company in the form mentioned above, gave rise to the mistake.\u2014Standard.The Railways of the World\u2014According to some statistics published by the Economiste Française, the total length of railways in the world at the end of 1876 was 184,002 miles, of which Europe possessed 89,430 miles ; America, 83,420 miles-Asia, 7,689 miles ; Australia, 1,924 miles \u2022 and Africa, 1,519 miles.The United States had 74,095 miles ; Germany, 17,181 miles : Great Britain, 16,794 miles ; France, 13,492 miles ; Russia, 11,555 miles ; Austria, 10 -852 miles ; Italy, 4,815 miles, and Turkey, 960 miles.The railwav system in India was 6,527 miles in leng'th ; while Canada bad 4.200 miles ; the Argentine Republic, 990 miles , Peru, 970 miles ; Egypt, 975 miles, and Brazil, 836 miles.The Economiste Français calculates that at the end of 1876 the capital invested in the European railways amounted to £2,077,200,000, and in those of America, Australia, Asia and Africa, £1,185,500.000, making a total for the railways of the whole world of £3,262,-700,000.The European railways were credited with the possession of 42,000 locomotives, 90,000 passenger carriages, and 900,000 luggage trucks, in which were conveyed during 1876 1,140,000,000 passengers and 5,400,000,000 tons of goods \u2014Mr.P.G.Hamerton says that he believes that no female figure is to be found in any picture by Meissonier.Getting Ready.\u2014An instructive memorandum, relative to the drilling of the troops at Aldershot previous to the commencement of the manœuvres, has just been issued by General Sir Thomas Steele commanding the division.It states, in order that all officers may acquire facility in the tactical handling of small bodies of troops of their respective arms, and all field officers and senior captains of that of the hree arms combined, the General directs that from the 1st April to the 1st June ensuing, officers commanding brigades and corps will exercise their troops in the minor operations of active service.During the first month the exercise must be confined to the training of officers, noncommissioned officers, and men of infantry in the following minor operations 1st.Outpost duties.2nd.The conduct of advanced and rear guards vhen in the vicinity of an.enemy.3rd.The attack and ds-fense of tactical points.At least one day in the week, morning and afternoon, is to be set aside in each regiment for the above exercises.During the second month the Tuesday and Thursday in each week will be set apart for exercises in minor operations of the three arms combined.For this purpose the officers commanding the Cavalry and Infantry Brigades and Royal Artillery will have placed at their disposal ia troop or squadron of cavalry, two to four guns, and six to eight companies of infantry, on certain days.A Chair l'hat Would Not Stretch.\u2014 The tremendous man who was shown to a reserved seat in the Union Square Theatre last night distractsd attention from the play for a moment, because he was larger than all the pink-legged fat men of the Bowery museums taken together.He must have weighed 350 pounds.He continued to be the observed of all the audience, because it was seen that the chair he had engaged, although wide enough for an ordinary person to shift about in, was so much too narrow for him that he had to sit tilted over, a little on the seat and a great deal oh the iron arm.The curtain was rung down at the close of the prologue of the \" Celebrated Case,\" and an undivided interest was bestowed upon the perplexed giant.Two seats near by were vacant.He tried one and then the other, but he was just as big ia them, and they\twere\tno\tlarger\tthan\this own\tchair.\tA\thundred\tmen\tand women tittered and pretended not to be looking at him.He frowned, knit his brows, and began to glisten with perspiration.The chairs were iron, and very strong.Their arms refused to embrace him as their master.He shone with perspiration, and 200 people tittered and looked only a little in his direction.Then, with chin squared and teeth set he returned to his seat and sat in its arms solidly and forcibly.In a second it was perceived that he was slowly, painfully settling into the chair.Lower and lower, more and more slowly he descended, and then there was a crash\u2014the heavy ironwork of the chair parted, and the giant and the ironwork fell over towards the aisle.A shout of laughter that drowned the music of the orchestra went up from the audience, the fat man gained his feet, and then an usher, anxious to do the right thing, promptly handed the angry fat man a light folding steamer chair.He looked at it and the usher with a forgiving eye, and then stood up by the ruins until the play was over.\u2014N.Y.World.\u2014Sporting papers think this will prove to be one of the greatest years for base ball that has been seen for a long time.\u2014Custom forbids Turkish Sultans to wear any article of dress twice.From fez to slippers he must be clothed anew each day, and the worn clothes are relinquished to an attendant.BY PROXY.BY JAMES PAYN, AUTHOR OF \u201c WON\u2014NOT WOOED,\u201d \u201c ON HORSEBACK,\u201d &C.\u2014An enthusiastic Indiana editor wrote : The battle is now opened.\u201d Bus alas ! the intelligent compositor spelt \u201cbattle\u201d with an \u201c o,\u201d and the readers say they have suspected it all along.\u2014Teacher with reading class : Boy (reading)\u2014And as she sailed down the river\u2014.Teacher\u2014Why are ships called she ?Boy (precociously alive to the responsibilities of his sex)\u2014Because they need men to manage them.\u2014The Grand Duke Nicholas is described as being tall, strongly-built, and soldierly, but with a narrow forehead, coarsely-moulded features, and no signs of ability.Yet he is one of the best linguists in Russia, the country of linguists.\u2014A Japanese writer, in describing Europeans, says ;\u2014\u201c Jealousy is an unknown passion among them ; and so much affection subsists between mau and wife that it is quite a common thing to see a European married couple walking arm-in-arm in public.\u201d \u2014\u201c Princess Charlotte\u2019s trousseau,\u201d says a Berlin correspondent, \u201c was a disgrace to artistic millinery;\u201d and the authorities must have felt it, for on the cards of invitation to inspect it was written : \u201c You are requested not to make any disagreeable remarks.\u201d \u2014Among the English aristocracy Earl Granville ranks as the best linguist ; he is master of twenty languages.In appearance he looks like an oiled and curled Assyrian bull.The parting of his hair has never been known to change one hair\u2019s breadth.\u2014Dio Lewis says bald heads are caused by wearing hats.\u201c Women don\u2019t become bald, and men never lose a hair below where the hat touches the head.\u201d The Doctor took his own silk hat and held it ud so that the light could shine through 20 holes that were pierced in the top.\u2014Cope\u2019s Tobacco Plant estimates that the to bacco annually consumed in the world amounts to about 2,000,000,000\u2014two thousand millions\u2014of pounds, and that if the leaves were made into a roll 2 in.in diameter, we should have \" a tobacco serpent\u201d which, following the direction of the equator, would wind round the earth 30 times.\u2014It has been'noticed that European bees, when imported in Australia, for a year or two keep their hives in good order, and make a very fair amount of honey, but after that time they become idle and wholly unproductive.An explanation of this curious fact would be of great interest.\u2014N.Y.Sun.And rouse the shade of Dr.Watts.\u2014A contemporary cautions its lady readers, when they are dressed in velvet, against sitting down on cane-bottom chairs.Mrs.Fanny Kemble once, when she found such a chair provided for her at one of her readings in the West, turned upon the leading committeeman a basilisk glance, and exclaimed, \u201cMan, do you wish me to give my best velvet gown the smallpox ?\u201d \u2014A story is current in London that at a recent fdrawing-room reception the Lord Chamberlain insisted on cutting off the \u201cshoulder-straps\u201d of a dress worn by one of the ladies, upon the ground that no high dresses were allowed at Her Majesty\u2019s levees.What was the result of the application of the shears to so evidently essential a portion of a dress as the shoulder-straps is not stated.\u2014The new Pope has three brothers.The youngest of them, Cav.Gio.Battista Pecoi, is married, with three sons and two daughters\u2014one of his sons being in the Italian army.In summer the cavalier resides in Carpineto, the family homestead of the Peccis, a little village of 4,000 inhabitants, on the Rome and Naples Railroad ; during winter he dwells in Rome, with the eldest of the brothers.Signor Carlo, an octogenarian.The other brother is a simple priest.\u2014A light-headed Parisian, who had been long suffering from an aching tooth, but feared going to a dentist, lately tied to his offending molar a long string, at the other end of which was a heavy stone.He leaned his head from a window, and let the stone drop.He succeeded in having the tooth drawn, but the shock was so violent that a portion of the jaw was also wrenched away.His neck was so painfully jerked that he fainted, and on recovering after several hours he was found to have lost his power of speech.\u2014While the present Pope was legate at Brussels he was invited to a grand dinner at which was present the Marquis de X., a clever wit who carried skepticism to the verge of irreverence.At dessert he thought it would he a very good joke to show Mgr.Pecci his snuff box, on the top of which was a painting on ivory of a shockingly decollete Venus.The prelate inspected the painting for a considerable time without the least discomposure.\u201c Very pretty, very pretty,\u201d he murmured, with the air of a connoisseur.Then turning his eyes upon the Marquis, \u201c The portrait of the marchioness ?\u201d \u2014An opera glass has been constructed that is cross-eyed as it were, with which you can look at people without appearing to do so.This much-needed instrument can he leveled at the stage, and yet the observer can criticise the whole parquette circle.It is expected that improvements will be made so that ultimately the fortunate possessor of the oblique glasses can gaze at the lady behind her an 1 possibly see if her own bonnet and back hair are in as good order as when she left her mirror.The patent opera glass will look straight ahead or sideways at the will of the holder, as the adjustment is instantaneous, and cannot be perceived by outside parties.\u2014In a little guide-book to Cannes, which has just been published, a fact is mentioned of interest to smokers generally\u2014 that most of their briar-root pipes are from that neighbourhood:\u2014\u201cThe mountains round about Cannes are covered with thick underwood of tali heath, the Erica mediterranea.This is grubbed up for the sake of the roots, which are brought down to saw-mills, of which there are several in the district.There, by steam machinery, the roots are cut roughly into shape, then boiled, dried, and otherwise prepared, and sent off to Paris and other large towns to be turned into neat pipes.and fitted with amber mouth-pieces.The word \u2018 briar\u2019 in the name is merely a corruption of bruyere, the French for heath.\u201d \u2014A London correspondent, referring to the recent Court reception at Buckingham Palace, says : \u201c Such a display of naked arms, bosoms and shoulders was never beheld by daylight before.The corsage a la Jeanne d\u2019Arc is scarcely decent, so tightly is it made to fit the figure, and the skirt so strained over the stomach that the whole of the outline is as clearly defined as when an artist\u2019s model stands before him in wet drapery.The one novelty was the introduction of the jardiniere\u2014a small basket either of very fine wicker-work or gilt or silvered filagree.It is made flat on one side, so as to lie quite close to the wearer, and is filled with cut flowers, which hang gracefully pendant over the edge on the other.\u201d \u2014This extract from Peter the Great\u2019s will shows how deep-rooted Russia\u2019s policy is \u201cWhen Sweden is ours, Persia vanquished, Poland subjugated, Turkey conquered, when our armies are united, and the Euxine and the Baltic in the possession of our ships, then we must make separate and secret overtures, first to the Court of Versailles, and then to that of Vienna, to share with them the dominion of the world.If either of them accepts our propositions, wh ch is certain to happen if their ambition and self-interest is properly worked upon, we must make use of one to annihilate the other.This done, we have only to destroy the remaining one by finding a pretext for a quarrel the issue of which cannot he doubtful, as Russia will then be already in the absolute possession of the best part of Europe.\u201d \u2014Sam Foote, the celebrated comedian, was once travelling in the West of Eng- land, and dining one day at an inn, when the cloth was removed the landlord asked him how he liked his fare.\u201c I have dined as well as any man in England,\u201d said Foote.\u201cExcept Mr.Mayor,\u201d cried the landlord.\u201cI do not except anybody whatever,\u201d said he.\u201cBut you must,\u201d angrily bawled the host.\u201cI won\u2019t.\u201d \u201cYou must.\u201d At last the strife ended by the landlord (who was a petty Magistrate) taking Foote before the Mayor, who observed that it had been customary in that town for a great number of years to \u201cexcept the Mayor,\u201d and accordingly fined him one shilling for not conforming to the ancient custom.Upon this sage decision Foote paid the shilling, at the same time observing, with great shrewdness, that he thought the landlord was the greatest fool in Christendom\u2014except the Mayor.The sport was amusing even to Conway, who had seen it before, while its ingenuity extorted Peunicuick\u2019s admiration.\u201c I am glad you find something to praise in China, at last,\u201d said Conway.\u201c I admire its cormorants, my dear fellow, which seem to be very numerous.\u201d Still, however clever you allow the birds to he, their masters who taught them must have a still larger share of credit.Besides, it is not so very de ver to fish for other people, with a ring round your neck which prevents your deriving any advantage from your own exertions.How can you talk such nonsense, Connie, with the recollection of what we have seen to-day so fresh in your mind ?The relations between priest and people are here accurately symbolized, except that the situation is reversed.The priests are the cormorants who compel the people to fish for them with a ring\u2014or a rope\u2014round their necks.1 It seems to me you are still sore at having spent those five pounds upon the representative of Ay-tum-foo,\u201d said Conway slyly.\u201c I don\u2019t think you got much for your money.\u201d \u201c That\u2019s true,\u201d said Pennicuick, with a grim smile.\u201c Yet.upon my life, I believe you got more than you bargained for, Penn, up yonder.\u201d And Conway pointed to the distant hill crowned by the temple.Did they make you a real Buddhist after some unpleasant form of initiation such as is said to prevail among freemasons ?\u201d Perhaps,\u201d said Pennicuick, indifferently ; \u201c also, perhaps not.\u201d Shall we stay where we are for the night, or move along, Penn ?\u201d inquired his companion, presently.\u2022* The mandarin to whom I have got the letter of introduction lives about six miles up stream, and it is too late\u2014except for official visits\u2014to make our call upon him.It would be better, therefore, to stay here, and go on in the morning, especially as all the fun is to come over again at sunrise to-morrow\u2014\u201d What fun ?\u201d interupted Pennicuick.Why, the pilgrimage to the temple, and your sacred Shayle\u2019\u201d Why, that old priest in yellow said it would not be shown till the next feast-day ?\u201d exclaimed Pennicuick.\u201cYes ; but when he said that, his reverence had not given way to your solicitations ; moreover, to-morrow is a feast-day, though one of less\u2019importance than to day.But you seem to be tired of it all, and rather in a hurry to get away.Of course we can go on to-night if you please.\u201d \u201c I don\u2019t care twopence whether we do or not,\u201d answered Pennicuick.There was a look of doggedness, almost of defiance, in his tone that annoyed Conway, and not the less because it was wholly unaccountable.He was not a man to put up with another\u2019s caprices or sullenness.\u201c I care as little as you do.We will stay here, then,\u201d he answered curtly.The reply seemed of small consequence enough ; but the value of words, like that of pictures, is sometimes naught at first, and afterward turns out to be priceless.In this case, that \u201c we will stay here, then,\u201d of Arthur Conway\u2019s proved a sentence of death.Nothing, however, could be more peaceful, or less indicative of evil, than the scene wherein it was spoken.The pilgrims had all departed, leaving no tokens of their presence on land or water.The priests were at their solitary vespers, or, perhaps, counting the \u201c cash \u201d that had been received during the day.The beggars had shrunk away into cliffs and caves, to refresh themselves with sleep for the resumption of operations on the monow.The soldiers and boatmen were either asleep or silently smoking, or perhaps both, for though there is a theory in Europe that people do not enjoy tobacco in the dark, or with their eyes shut, it does not hold good in China.The very birds of the air were silent.Conway got out his desk, and began to write at the little table.\u201c Hullo, Connie ?You are not going to keep a journal snre.y ?\u201d \u201c No.I am writing home \u201d \u201c Oh dear ! What an excellent husband !\u201d remarked Pennicuick.There was a touch of satire in the tone that did not escape the other\u2019s ears.The color came into his cheek, as he answered coldly,\u201d \u201c I am writing to Nelly.\u201d \u201c There can be no great burry about it, my dear fellow, as we shall not be back at Shanghai for six weeks.\u201d \u201c There may be some opportunity of sending a letter, and I make a point of writing by every mail.\u201c You astonish me.What the deuce do you find to say ?\u201d \u201c To my daughter ?Well ; I tell her everything that I think will interest her which I hear or see.\u201d \u201c Good heavens ! I think I see myself writing in the same style to Raymond.\u2018 China is a large and populous country : it is governed by an emperor, called the Son of Heaven.The amount of tea drunk in Shanghai alone is estimated at a million pounds.\u2019 He would not much care for that, I think.My own style is, \u2018 Dear Ray,\u2014Shall be home in August or thereabouts.In the mean time, draw on me as usual.\u201d Why you have not seen your Nellie for these ten years.\u201d \u201c No, and it may be ten years before I da see her.It is the more necessary, therefore, to do all I can to keep my memory green with her.\u201d \u201c I see.\u201d Nothing more was said.Conway went on with his letter, whiph occupied him for a long time.When he had finished\u2014or rather when he Bad written it up to the latest date, for it was never destined to be finished\u2014he looked up, and saw by the dull light of the cabin lamp that his friend had fallen asleep.Then he turned in himself and was soon sunk in slumber.But Pennicuick was only feigning sleep.When he found himself no Lnger under the observation of his friend, he took something out of his breast pocket, and softly rising, held it beneath the rays of the lamp.It was a large and solid piece of glass or crystal cut into facets and resembled a drop from a chandalier.It emitted a light so bright and sparkling that one almost expected it to be accompanied with sound.There was a sound, though it did not come from this object; it was was like the faint movement of a ring that slides upon a bar.Pcnnicuick\u2019s face darkened in an instant, then grew very \u201c set\u201d and hard.He dropped his right hand noiselessly into his shooting-jacket pocket, and moved toward the curtains that separated the cabin from the front compartment.He parted them softly with the finger that still held the piece of crystal, and looked forth with keen and steadfast eyes.Beneath him lay six sleeping men ; the five soldiers, and their commander Fu-Chow.It was the same scene as that which Conway had looked upon on the morning of that very day, and with the like suspicion.Only there had not been such menace in his eyes as now gleamed from those of his friend.They took in the whole six soldiers at a glance, but fixed themselves on Fu-chow.The round-faced captain lay nearest to him ; his pigtail was toward him ; his face, half-averted, lay on its pillow mat, to all appearance iu sound sleep.The others were snoring, however, and this man was not.Pennicuick drew his hand up out of his pocket, and with it a six-barrelled revolver.The moonlight shone brightly on the steel as he levelled it at the head of Pu-Chow.Then on the silence broke sharply a sudden click.No one moved, and therefore, reasoned Pennicuick, no one h ard it.If Pu-chow had heard, with the muzzle of that deadly weapon within two feet of him, he must surely have made some movement\u2014which m that case would have been the last he would have ever made.But Pu-chow lay like a log, or an apple-branch with one great round fruit upon it, the cheeks of which retained their red! Then Pennicuick replaced his weapon in his pocket, dropped the cortain, and again fell to regarding the object in his left hand.He had now apparently new views respecting it.for he pushed aside the mat that at the glass rests that are used at dinner-tables to support the carver\u2019s knife and fork\u2014and at the bottom of the canal, as had been shown that day by the fisher-meu, was a deep layer of mud into which it would quickly sink.He held it between his fingers with that intent, but at that moment the moonbeams struck upon it, and, like steel on flint, evoked a thousand sparkles; red, blue, and emerald-green, they flashed on his admiring eyes.\u201c It is not an opal,\u201d be murmured, \u201c what the deuce is it ?I will wear it hidden, like an amulet, here in China ; and when I get home to Pall Mall I\u2019ll have it set for a scarf-pin.I wonder what the jeweller will say to it, and whether it is worth the five pounds.\u201d Though, as we have said, like a drop from a chandelier, this crystal had no hole through it ; hut there was a little ridge sunk round the middle, and about this Pennicuok wound a thread ot silk, and suspended it round his neck, and next his skin.\u201c It is like a charm that fools wear,\u201d he muttered to himself, \u201c I wonder whether it will bring me good luck or bad.\u201d And then he too lay down and fell asleep.(To be Continued.)
