they find themselves pitted against weak, irresolute and incapable authorities.They naturally desire to have as complete sway as possible over the eleven or twelve hundred patients in their charge, honestly believing that the one-man or one-woman power is the best form of government for the unfortunates; and they act accordingly.The Legislature\u2019 of the Province passes measures for the better goverement of the institution, from a medical point of view ; the contractors set the law at defiance, and a ygak, unworthy Government looks on andl does nothing.The Legislature passes laws for the protection of the public health ; the Longue Pointe contractors pay no attention to the law\u2019s requirements ; and the Central Board of Health, when fully apprised of the real state of things, does nothing for months, or until public opinion forces them to act ; and even then they do next to nothing.After the smallpox has been committing its ravages for two months, the Central Board and the Government come to the conclusion that no more patients must be sent to Longue Pointe for the present! It was given out a few days ago that the Central Board was about tomove with great energy in the matter of placarding, etc, but there did not appear to be any placards in sight on Saturday, except on the hospital, à building that is not visible from the main public highway.As far as can be learned, no special effort has yet been made to enforce obedience to the laws or punish disobedience for illegal acts ; and the contractors remain masters of the situation.They play boldly and they win.In order that our readers may understand the exact attitude which the Longue Pointe contractors have assumed towards the Government and the Central Board of Health we make the following explanations.The law passed by the Quebec Legislature this year gives the Government power to appoint for the Asylum a medical superintendent, a house physician and an assistant house phyeician.These officials constitute a MR2dical Board which has the power to admit and discharge patients and to regulatc their treatment, which includes classification, ventilation, regimen, diet, clothing, exercise.The law in short Places the asylum completely under the control of the Medical Board; where it should be.The salaries of these three physicians are paid by the Government.The authority of this Board extends to the private patients.It is this law which the contractors set at defiance, They wil} not recognize the authority of the pbysi- cians, and they appoint their own medical men, who, with the contractors, perform the duties and exercise the authority which belong by law to the officials appointed by the Government.It is not known how the Central Board of Health were first advised of the smallpox being in the Longne Pointe Asylum, but it is known that they were aware of its being there more than a month ago, the disease having now been in the institution for nearly two months.They wrote to the contractors and to the physicians appointed by the - contractors, and mot being satisfied with the answers they received to their questions, they wrote to the Government, who directed them to Dr, Henry Howard, that gentleman being, according to the law now supposed to be in force, the head and director of the Institution.Dr.Howard immediately took steps to find out whether the smallpox was in the asylum or not, and all the facts connected with the outbreak.The success that has attended his efforts, our readers may infer from what he said in his interview with the representative of THE HERALD, has not been very brilliant.It will be seen from the account of a visit by one of our staff.to Longue Pointe that appears in another column, that the Government Inspectors of Asy- ums and Prisons, Drs, Desaulniers and Smith, visited the Asylum so late as the 16:h of the present month, and that in their report, as recorded in a boo n the asylum, they completely ignor the existence of smallpox in the institution.The contractors surely could not have concealed the existence of the disease from them, and why they did not give those for whose information the report was written some intimation of the true state of things in the Institution as regards this disease is to us incomprehensible.From this fact the public can estimate the value of the Government inspection ; and if they wish to have further evidence they can find it in the fact that the Government, the Medical Board and the Central Board of Health only learned by accident or hearsay, and a month after the event, that smallyox existed in the Asylum ! ¢ IMPRACTICABLE.\u201d Mr.Thomas Macfarlane\u2019s letter of explanation explains nothing.He now, in effect, admits that his scheme of taxing Great Britain and her Colonies for the naval defences of the Empire necessarily implies Imperial union of some kind.In his paper he was at great pains to convey the idea that it could be carried out, in perfect independence of any such union, It is clear that he finds our objection to his not including the maintenance of the army in his scheme of Imperial taxation without representation insuperable; and it would have been wiser in him not to have noticed it at all.He must see that every argument he advances in support of the obligation of the Colonies to aid in supporting an Imperial navy is equally strong with respect to assisting to maintain an Imperiallarmy, Every one must see that the reasons he gives\u2014such as they are\u2014 for refraining from advocating taxation in the Colonies for the support of the army apply with equal force to their having nothing to do withthe maintenance of the Imperial navy, one as much as the other being engaged in \u201c expeditions \u201d with which the colonies have no concern,\u2014and they both any day may be employed in a war greatly injurious to the interests of one or other of the great colonies, Logically, Mr.Macfarlane is in this part of his scheme,nowhere.The defence of the British empire depends as much on the Imperial army as on the Imperial navy, ong is the complement of the other, and the obligation to aid in maintaining the one necessarily implies the obligation to aid in maintaining the other, There was in our article no mis-repre- sentation as to the branch of British and Colonial commerce which Mr, Macfarlane proposed to tax in order to promote the cause of Imperial Federation, so that his distinction between \u201c foreign \u201d and \u201c non- British \u201d goods was quite unnecessary.He gave in his paper the figures on which he based his calculations, and it is to be presumed that he made no mistake as to the nationality of the countries from which the goods which he proposed to tax were to come; but he does not show a very intimate knowledge of business when he says that his fixed duty of five per cent.would not * prevent any of the \u201c provinces of the empire from modifying \u201cits ordinary tariff in any way it saw fit.\u201d It is evident to any man of common intelligence at all acquainted with business that this obligation to levy a duty of five per cent.on all kinds of goods coming from foreign countries would have the very effect which Mr.Macfarlane says it would not have.It would hamper and restrain the colonial Governments in the work of modifying their tariffs with regard not only to \u201c non-British\u201d countries but with regard to each other and the mother country herself, It would introduce a a new and disturbing factor into all fiscal calculations in both Great Britain and her colonies which could not but affect their results very materially, Our correspondent does not think that Englishmen in these days would object to levying a duty of five per cent on all imports \u201c utterly foreign,\u201d in order to be free of the burden of one-tenth of the maintenance of their navy, or about a million and a fifth sterling.We may be pardoned if we question the capacity of the man to thjnk on such a subject, whose thinking has brought him to the conclusion that Englishmen are now prepared to fetter and burden their whole foreign commerce by entering into an obligation to impose upon it a tax of five per cent, which shall be permanent and unalterable.Intelligent men will require some better reason than the \u201cI do not think,\u201d and \u201cItis plain\u201d of our correspondent to lead them to believe that the people of Great Britain are prepared to abandon their policy of free trade, and to replace it by one which, even on protectionist principles, it would be unwise to adopt; and it is safe to conclude that the scheme of Imperial Confederation, which, before it can be put in operation, requires such a complete revolution of opinion and policy in Great Britain is utterly impracticable.Mr, Macfarlane has brought himself to believe that to tax the raw materials of manufactures in a manufacturing country like Great Britain would be fair all round, and that a people who are forced to import the greater part of the bread they eat would not consider a duty of five and a quarter cents a bushel on wheat a burden.It is diffieult for any one who has not a pet theory to support to understand how such strange conclusions ¢an be arrived af, but every day\u2019s experience convinces us that the hobbyist \u2018isblind to the most obvious objections to his cherished scheme and that to him all things in the way of reasoning are possible.Mr, Macfarlane is, as we were sure, like all other Imperial Federationists, opposed to the colonies possessing the power .aking their own commercial treaties.indeed, he looks upon their desire to direct their own commerce according to their own interests as an unpardonable piece of presumption, Welike his frankness and do not object to the strong language he uses, for he makes it abundantly evident that Imperial Federation- ists have no sympathy with those Canadians who desire to increase their powers of self-government.MORE UNCERTAINTY IN OUR LAWS, A case of great importance to the commercial world of this Province is about to be heard before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.A Mr.Rose, holding some shares in a joint stock company in trust for a Mrs.Sweeney, deposited them with the Bank of Montreal as collateral security: for monies he owed the bank.The share certificates bore on their face \u201c James Rose in trust.\u201d When the transaction came to Mrs.Sweeney\u2019s knowledge she sued the bank for the shares, The court of first instance decided against her ; the Court of Appeal of the Province of Quebec decided in the same way, but on appeal tu the Supreme Court it was decided in her favor.The Bank of Montreal then appealed to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in England, and the judges have decided that the case should be heard.The doubt arises from the words \u201cin trust\u201d on the face of the certificates, In English law this ccrcumstance would give the verdict to Mrs.Sweeney, but it is contended that the French law in force in Quebec does not recognize this species of trust, nor hold that these words were sufficient notice to the bank, and that the bank is in the habit of taking as colla- terals shares held in trust.The question therefore is, whichlaw isto govern the case.The two Courts of Quebec have apparently based their decision on the French law, but there must be some doubt as to its applicability because the Supreme Court of Canada has differed from them.Banking as well as trade and commerce is in the exclusive legislative authority of the Dominion Parliament, and it would seem that whatever federal laws there may be bearing on those subjects would govern this case, while on the other hand \u201cProperty and Civil Rights\u201d come within the scope of the provincial legislative power.The shares are ¢ property \u201d\u2019 and the transaction is a \u201c banking \u201d one if it is notalsoa commercial matter, so there is room for some nice legal hair-splitting.This is another evidence of the necessity of revising the category of powers entrusted to the Federal and Provincial legislatures.A written constitution should be as clear as language can make it, and not of such a character that every important case creates a doubt and necessitates a reference to England.It is tolerably certain that the collision of judgments to be found in this case was not wholly unforeseen by some of our statesmen, It will be recollected that much opposition was manifested by representatives of the Province of Quebec to the establishment of the Supreme Court of Canada, and has been displayed, equally, to its existence.We presume that this bas been born of the fear that just such cases as the one referred to might arises whether the action of the Supreme Court of Canada might override the decisions of the Courts of Quebec in right to matters which the people of Quebec might claim should be settled by French civil law, The case in question must be regarded as one of the most important that has yet been sent to England for decision, and it is to be hoped that it will be most carefully weighed by the eminent mien who are to settleit finally.Their judgment will be awaited with a great deal of interest.A NEW DESERTYR.In combatting the proposal that the Dominion should assume the debt on the Lake St.Peter canal, the Hamilton Spectator says the Dominion is asked to pay money to drive commerce from ports it would naturally seek, to a port it would not naturally seek, and that without any benefit to the country or to the people outside of Montresl.According to this view, it is of no benefit to Canada that ocean trade should come to Montreal instead of going to New York or Boston.It has been shown that this diversion of trade is going on in consequence of the necessary heavy expenses here, and the Spectator thinks that it should continue.By the same reasoning, no charge should be imposed upon the same inhabitants of Canada to protect any other commercia] Interests in the Dominion.If the people can buy United States goods cheaper than they can get the same things in Canada, it is wrong to drive them from & market \u201cthey would naturally seek to one \u201c they would not naturally seek.The Dominion,\u201d the Spectator says, © has no \u201cmoney to spare for experiments on \u201c turning commerce from natural into * unnatural channels.\u201d Apart from all arguments on the merits of the particular question, we may ask: How came the Spectator to support the National policy ?The Globe will welcome this latest convert to its views unless, indeed, the theory does not apply when goods manufactured in Hamilton and Ontario are concerned.UNDER AN ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION.The Calgary Herald says : \u2014 \u201c Archbishop Tache thinks that the redskins are not aware that they were whipped in the recent campaign.As far as we have been able to gather no one out here\u2014be the colour of his skin red, white, brown or pinto\u2014is aware of this interesting fact.If he had said that the redekins were strongly under the impression that it Was themselves who did all the whipping, the worthy ecclesiastic would have been nearer the mark.\u201d It would seem from this that the Government was a little premature in its gifts of honors and rewards.The country was told that a severe and lasting lesson had been taught to the Indians, that they were now fully impressed with their folly in attempting to cope with the forces of the Dominion, that if they were not much afraid of the Police, they were at least in mortal terror of the troops, and that any disturbance on their part was a thing of the past.One after another of visitors from the West have said that we were pluming ourselves on a moral victory that did not exist, the Archbishop of St.Boniface repeated the information the Winnipeg Free Press told us how easily we could lose our scalps by any interfer- euce with the Bloods and Blackfeet.Now the Calgary Herald tells us that the scat- terred Crees, whose subjugation led to gifts of knighthoods and purses, are in the belief that these material laurels were given to the wrong side, and that the white men think with them.How many more reputations are to find their graves in the North-West ?WE OBSERVE that the Star has had Mr Van Horne interviewed, apropos of a recent article in THE HERALD in which we directed attention to a supposed arrangement between the Canadian Pacific and the Grand Trunk railways to maintain freights and prevent the country enjoying the anticipated benefits of competition.The Star said :\u2014 The article was shown to Mr.W.C.Van Horne, Vice-President and General Manager of the Canadian Pacific, this morning, by a Star reporter, who at the same time asked him what truth there was in the assertion that a \u201cworking or pooling arrangement \u201d between the two lines was on foot.\u201c There is no truth in it.\u201d \u201cHave you any agreemenc with the Grand Trunk with a view of maintaining tates from Chicago and the west 7?* We have no agreement, that is to say there is no agreement between Mr, Hick- son and myself, but of course there is a tacit understanding between the freight agents to quote uniform rates from the west, Such an agreement exists between all competing roads.\u201d \u201c Has this agreement been recently entered into ?\u201d \u201c@ No.\u201d \u201c Are you awara if Mr, Stephen has entered into any \u2018pooling arrangement\u2019 with the Grand Trunk oa the other side ?\u201d \u201c No.\u201d - THE HERALD stated that ¢¢ it has been frequently hinted of late that a working or pooling arrangement between the two lines was on foot, if not already consummated.Indeed, it is difficult to believe that a pool or something equivalent to it has not existed for a long time back.\u201d To the question put by the representative of the Ster, Mr, Van Horne states that while there is no agreement between Mr.Hickson and himself, * there is a \u201c tacit understanding betwaen the freight \u201cagents to quote uniform rates from the \u201c west,\u201d and that \u201cthis agreement\u201d has not been recently entered into.The General Manager's admissions practically confirm our statement, There à an\u2019 understanding, with the knowledge and approval of the highest authorities, and it has been in operation some time.To businessmen it can make little difference how the companies work their little arrangement as long as it exist, and is keeping freight rates at the old figure, Tue HERALD has always looked with favor upon the control of thesleeping cars, dining cars, telegraphs, grain elevators, stockyards and stockmen\u2019s hotels by the railway companies using them, instead of leaving them in the hands of private corporations, whose only interest is to make as much money as they \u2018can out of them and who are to some extent removed from the controlling in_ fluence of public sentiment, and Tux HerALD has all along supported the Canadian Pacific Company in carrying out this policy.But there is a limit to the extent to which it should be carried, and we regret to note an evident disposition on the part of the Canadian Pacific management to go in this direction far beyond the requirements of the public interests and to undertake many things which are almost universally left to private enterprise, Last year they dabbled in grain in the North-West to the disadvantage of legitimate dealers, and they are supposed even now to have something to do with the manipulation of wheat prices in that quarter.Perhaps it would be better on the whole for the Company to consider whether they would not be rendering the public better service by giving the country the benefits of reasonable compétition in a legitimate field rather than extending their operations in quarters where commercial men are amply able to handle what are purely commercial affairs, \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 WE LEARN by a St, John\u2019s telegram that Sir Ambrose Shea has been appointed Governor of Newfoundland.We see from this that the policy initiated in the Dominion of appointing public men of tha country to the office of Lieutenant- Governor, is being adopted by the Home Government.Sir Ambrose Shea has been long in public life in Newfoundland and understands the wants of the colony and the character of its people as well as any man in the Empire.He is besides a man of ability and worth and he is far more likely to make a good Governor than some nominee of the Colonial Office who may not know whether the Banks of Newfoundland are on the land or in the ses.« rte WE HAVE RECEIVED from the Hom.Mr, Wurtele à copy of a \u2018* Manual of the Legislative Assembly

We copy bélow a letter which Mr, E.H.Goff has addressed to the Press ot the United States.As a good deal has appeared in our local journals on this subject, we think it only right that the people of Montreal should have an opportunity of reading what is said on the other side.Of course, we express no opinion on the merits of the controversy.To teE Press oF THE UGITED STATES: Up to the present time I have declined to write a letter for publication regarding the recent infamous reports with reference to myself which have been so widely circulated from Canada through the medium of the Associated Press, for the following reasons :\u2014 First,\u2014Because the despatches themselves carry their own condemnation on their face, and to the \u2018intelligent reader expose the real object for which they were sent broadcast over the length and breadth of the land.8econd,\u2014Because I desire a rigid and intelligent sifting of this whole matter from its foundation upwards, and much prefer that it be done by some competent expert or legal tribunal rather than through the newspapers.If I thought the issue could and would be immediately brought before any fair and competent tribunal, so that the real facts could be ascertained independent of myself and made public, I would not have written this letter, but I am in receipt of so many letters and telegrams from friends in all parts of the country, urging me to publicly assert myselt, that find it a matter of necessity in justice to my business and its varied associations, to make the following brief statement :\u2014 First,\u2014The story of \u2018\u2018forgery,\u201d \u201cmisappropriations of funds\u201d and \u2018\u2018indebtedness\u201d to the Canada Agricultural Insurance Co.of Montreal, is à tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end.Second.\u2014The clarge of forgery\u201d is simply nonsense, and the only ground upon which my accusers even dare base a claim of this kind is the fact of my having drafted, in pencil, a form of a resolution which had been passed by the directors and spread upon the records by the Secretary, authorizing me to make drafts upon the Company for $22,700, money which I had loaned it months before, and given it the use of without interest or remuneration of any kind.Instead of making drafts for the entire amount to my credit, viz.: $22,700, I drew only for $19,000, leaving balance, which has never been paid, and is still owed me, with interest, from July 17, 1877.Third \u2014I do not now, and never did, owe the Company one dollar ; on the contrary, it was nearly always in my debt,and now owes me $3,700.17 and interest above stated, in addition to about a year\u2019s unpaid salary, with interest, all of which I am fully prepared to substantiate.The only ground which the assignees or the company have for claiming am indebted to tbe Company is by the directs ors and assignees vot ng to make calls on stock which I held in the Company, and in this way they may make me out their debtor by a process of voting to any amount they may choose, 1 now repeat what I have said to the assignees of the company many times : If l'owe the Canada Agricultural [nsur- ance Company any amourt, large or small, I am ready and willing to pay it, and always have been, but not upon the showing of corrupt assigoees who were placed in their positions by political adversaries for the purpose of usirg the Company as a political inquieition.I have many times asked and demanded, as my right, that the company\u2019s accounts should be submitted to competent expert accountants, to be selected in the usual manner for arbitration, which has always been peremptorily refused.Th s whole business is now revived by a few political enemies in Canada, who have joined hands with certain of my business rivals in Boston aud New York in hope, on the one hand, of extracting money from me and also to, punish me for exposing the dishonest and corrupt practices of the Quebec politiciaus, and on the other band to injure the business I am associated with.This plot has been assiduously worked up by numerous trips of these men and their emissaries from Boston and NewYork to Montreal during the past six monthe, the facts of which are weil known and as notorious on the streets of Montreal, as the fact is well known here, that the charges have been made against me.I have been in active business for twenty years, occupying many responsibie positions, and the man woman or child does not live in this or any other country who can sustain the charge of dishonest or un- fait dealing against me.I cannot think that the American people are ready or willing to believe slanders cast upon an American-born citizen, living and doing business among them, based upon an exploded political charge of eight years standing.Respectfully, Epwarp H.Gorr.Boston, 26 Dec,, 1885.DWIGHT EL.MOODY.A Brief Sketch of the Great Evan gelist\u2019s Career\u2014A Preacher Whose Reputation Precedes Him to Ment- real.D.L.Moody was ushered into the world on the 5th of February, 1837, in an old house on a farm near Northfield, Mass., and he was left fatherless at four Years of age, his mother being the only stay of a large family.lu her religion his mother was a Unitarian and in character she was a representative New England woman with an unwonted amount of spirit and energy.As a boy Moody was remarkable for his mischievous pranks and insatiable love of boyish sports and tricks, He would not improve his mind, for the reason that he had no love for that kind of work.The result was, he received but little schooling.No ri of his present great success is attri table to the study of books or the refine: ment of learning, but in great part to his inherent genius for leadership and labor and an earnest impressiveness to do good.He was not naturally of a religious turn, but his mother did all she could, with the best light sbe had, to give him religious training.As soon as he was old enough, he was sent to the Unitarian Church, and Was there trained and taught according to their faith.In the spring of 1854 he proceeded to Boston, where he found employment in a thoe store belonging to his uncle, until the autumn of 1865, whea he he left for Chicago, and remained in business there for three or four years, and here he entered on a career of econo- Wy which he has not since diverged from.Boston he had been connected with he Congregational Church, and imme- diately ugon his arrival in Chicago he allie himself with another Church of the same demomi.nation.His active career in the Cause of religion began tben, and he Was incessant in his efforts to induce the Joung to attend the church, His labor, Owever, did not receive much encourage- \u2014 in everything.He became interested in the Young Men\u2019s Christian Association and took an active part in the proceedings of that body.He took eo much interest in the work that he used to sweep out the rooms and keep all things in order.For many months, while a single man, he slept in the rooms, aud after doing the manual work about the institution, he would very often lead the noonday prayer meetings.Before long the announcement that young Moody was to be present at the meetings drew large crowds to the service.It was not long until the labors of Moody brought forth the fanious \u2018\u2018 North Market Mission Sunday-School.\u201d He took possession of an old beer saloon, located right in the midst of a perfect pandemonium, surrounded by other saloons in full blast ; desperate men, abandoned women, filth and everything conceivable that was vile.He would sweep the saloon out on the Saturday evenings, and gather the children in on Sundays, ani teach the best he could.Unfortunately for him he could not sing, nor to this day can he sing a single line of the hymns which have always been so dear to him 10 his work.He would get some one to sing for the children, and then he would talk to them until they became so noisy that he could not go on; then he would give out a hymn.Whileit was being sung he would pass around through the school regulating affairs and correcting some of the most unruly.\u2014\u20ac\u2014 On one occasion there was a very bad boy who would come to the door of the saloon, and make à fearful noise while Moody would be addressing his young auditors.Getting tired of it,he stopped short in his work, gave out a hymn, and while the school was singing it he went on the hunt of that disturbing boy, ran him nearly a quarter of a mile, caught him, and gave him a cowhiding, afier which he ran back and got into the meeting just as the last verse was being sung, puffing and blowing, but in time to go on with his discourse, From this hovel his school was removed to a more commodious hall, where before a year he had as many as 1,000 1n attendance.He aiso established a prayer meeting in connection with the Sunday-school.BDirectly after he had become fully en- aged in the work of the Young Men\u2019s Christian Association, he concluded to give up all business and devote himself to his * mission,\u201d literally cutting himself loose from the world.He received no salary from any source, but always at the proper time some way would be found out of his difficulties.When the war of the \u201cGreat Rebellion\u201d broke upon the country, Mr.Moody had an entirely new field opened to him.In the summer of 1861, when volunteers were stationed near the city of Chicago, he gave himself immediately te ministering to their epiritual wante, In 1861 he proceeded to the front as an evangelist under the auspices of the United States Christian Commission.In the field there was no more active agent than Mr.Moody.He was at Shiloh, at Murfreesborough, with the army at Cleveland and Chatianooga ; he was one of the first to enter Richmond, devoting himself to alleviate the sufferings and supply the necessities of friend aud foe alike, In August, 1862, Mr.Moody was mar ried to Miss Emma C.Revell, of Chicago, who proved to be an excellent companion for such a epirit as his, and they labored earnestly together in their chosen work.The duties of Mr.Moody ingibe Christian commission did not prevent him from paying close attention to his mission school.During the war he built a chapel for the use of the mission, which cost $20,- 000.From this time 1t became evident that a church must be formed eventually out of the persoms collected together at the mission.The school was the nucleus from which there extended a wonderful missionary work.101865 Mr.Moody was elected president of the Y.M.C.À, and within two years tne association possessed proof of his energy in the sbape of & new building, which cost $200,000.In less than ex months this structure was burned to the ground, but it only required a few more months to see it reconstructed.Much speculation has been indulged in as to what are the elements of Mr.Moody\u2019s power.One writer said of him, relative to his habits of work, \u201cHe is a business man, and he means business, and every word he speaks 1s meant to lead to defimte business, and if it does not do that he regards it as thrown away.Most people believe that there 18 u life beyond the grave, and that there is some way of salvation, and some way of being lost forever; aad this is rather important business after ail.Mr.Moody goes intothe heart of this weighty matter at once, and he putsit ina business way; says he himself has salvation, in fact is saved forever by the Son of God; and that every soul that wants it may have it too, at once, and know it, and go home with it, and be as happy as they like!\u201d Mr.Moody\u2019s reputation as a revivalist quickly spread, and his institutions at Chicago being established be conducted revivals in all parts of the United States being accompanied by Mr.Ira D.Sankey, who had joined him 1n his work at Chicago.In 1873 the two revivalists set sail for Liverpool, where they conducted evangelistic services throught the length and breadth of Great Britain.August the third, 1875, after a really wonderfnl series of revival , meetings, throughout the three Kingdoms, the Evangelists returned to America.Ever since, their work has been continued with remarkable result great religious upheavals having followed their meetings everywhere.fren PASSENGERS AT THE PUMPS.The People on the Steamer Persian Monareh in Great Danger.Preparations Made to Abandon the Vessel im Mid-Ocean\u2014The Water Forces] Open the Port Holes and Pours into the Forward Cempari- ment\u2014The Steamer Almost a Wreck, The steamer Persian Monarch, about whose safety grave fears were entertained for several days, swung into her dock at Hoboken on Friday, She had a bad list to port and about five feet of water in the forward hold, The Persian Monarch sailed from London, England, December 6, and has been twenty days in making the passage.She carried twenty-two first and second cabin and forty steerage passengers aud a general cargo, including seven Percheron horses.The usual wtn- ter storms were encountered, but all went well up to Saturday, Dec.12, when, being in latitude 53,13, longitude 33.12, she encountered a heavy northerly gale, The wind shifted shortly and blowing all around the compass, finally settled into a hurricane from the south-west, kicking up a nasty sea, and throwing the vessel almost on her beam euds.The waves tore open the iron shutters which close the forward starboard ports, the water rushing through the openings, flooding the berween declxs, tearing the fore hatch from ite fastenings and flooding the for- ward hold.The water-tight, bulkhead between decks.down, though the water filtered \u2018through into the middle compartment next the engine room and into the fire room, putting out the fires and rendering the engines uselese.The second mate and carpenter, AT THE PERIL OF THEIR LIVES.succeeded in closing the ports and ehuttin out the volume of water, which h it continued for ten minutes, would have carried down the steamer with all on board.Though the vessel righted from the first shock, the cargo had shifted and prevented of her recovering an even keel.To add tothe peril of the situation the immense body of water shipped buried the unfortunate vessel's nose in the sea, lifting ber stern high in the air, making her steering gear well nigh useless.The after hatches were battened down and the passengers confined to their cabine during the duration of the storm, twenty-eight hours.Sail wae put on the ship and the crew sent below to clear away the cargo floodin in the hold eo that the pumps could work.While engaged in this work one of the sailors, a Glasgow man named Wm.Steele, aged thirty-nine years, found a bottle containing a brownish colored horse liniment, Supposing it to be whiskey, he drank the greater part of the contents, iving the remainder to two of his mates.eele died two days afterwards in great agony, and was buried at sea.The other men recovered.Finding the vessel settling, Capt.Watson ordered the boats cleared for launching and every preparation made for saving the passengers and crew, but by vigorous bailing, in which the passengers rendered valuable assic- tance, the water was removed from the sween main deek, and the wind moderating the fires were started and the voyage continued.Four of the seven horses died on the voyage.The steamer presented a weather-beaten appearance a8 she lay at her dock foot of Pavonia avenue yesterday\u2014bulwarks, deck-houses and funnel, encrusted with salt, and the water in the forward com- Bement awash with th \"tween main deck.uantities of corks and straw floated on the surface, indicating the utter ruin of the cargo stowed in that part of the vessel.The main batch had not been opened when a reporter visited the vessel yesterday, and it is not known to what extent the cargo wrecking scow lay alongeide ycsterday afternoon, and it is expected that the water will be pumped out by this morning and the ship be ready for sea in a few days.Mr.Matthew Lowe, of Brooklyn, one of the passengers on the unfortunate vessel, gives the following graphic account of the voyage :\u2014 **We sailed from Millwall Docks, London,on Sunday morning, Dec.6, in no way in a proper condition to take either man or beast and were twenty days mak- log a voyage, which might easily have been made in twelve, considering tne favorable weather.The ship was list detained over four hours opposite Herne Bay waiting for the tide, and the pilot remained on board until Dover \u2018was reached, For several days the weather was everything that could be desired; indeed during the whole voyage there was no fog and no particularly heavy seas.On Friday evening, Dec.11, a slight #torm arose aad lasted all night, and about 9 o\u2019clock the next morning all the passengers were started by the cry that the ship was sinking, and upon examination it was found that the water was pouring in at the three open portholes in the forward hold, There were several feet of water 1n the hold alreauy, when the cry was made, and in ten minutes the ship must have sunk with over one hundred persons on Loard.At the time of the accident the second officer, Mr.Busn, was on the bridge, but the floodiag of the ship was discovered by the firemen on watch after great vigilance displayed by the third officer, Mr.Chandler, whose sue- picions were aroused by seeing several skins and other of the ship\u2019s cargo floating by.Upon discovery William Skinner, the carpenter's mate, made a plucky venture (which seriously impaired his health for several days), and jumped into the water in the holy, which was then over five feet deep, and, after being beaten back three times, managed to close the portholes, which had no guides on them.The cargo in the forward hold consisted of hides, skins, corks, cemennt, gas, refuse, straw plaits, hardware and suudry groceries, which were soon a floating mass, and the ship became a moving water\u2014 tank, \u201cThere was a fire on the ship between decks the night before she started, and it is supposeu that either through carelessness, or maliciously, the port boles in the hold were not properly fastened, and as there was no inspection after the fire or during the voyage the first heavy storm that came burst open the port holes, and hence the fearful disaster.Being unable to resist the force of the water, the iron plates were forced up in the engine room, and the fires put out.The ship\u2019s stern being so high in the air, she refused to answer her helm, The sails also were very old and weather-beaten, rendering them comparatively useless.he captain ordered the ship to be hove to, aud 1t remained so for nearly twenty-four hours at almost the mercy of the sea and wind.Some repairs were at last made, and by most of the male passengers lending aseistance and working with a determination, several tons of water were got out.The chief engineer, Mr.Butler, was the only officer who seemed to have full control of his men, which was shown by the ready;and earnest manner in which all his staff worked night and day, and to their credit, be it said, that steam was got up sooner than it could otherwise have been.If it had not been for this accident there was everything in our favor, the wind and weather being all that could be desired, but since then we have had nothing but a series of delays and mishaps, the ship's speed never averaging more than 150 miles per day.An inquiry ought to be instituted into the matter.Capthin Watson, who commanded the ship, has much to be thankful for in haying such a good first officer ae Mr, Cox, whose maritime knowledge did much fop the saving! of the ship and bringing her into port.Several suffered much from the eon- tinued motion of the ship, owing te the listing, and there being ue ship\u2019s doctor, few received proper attention.Une of the crew partook of some poisonous spirits, mistaking it for brandy, and, after lying down on one of the lower aft decks uacared for and unnoticed, for fully two days, expired in.terrible suffering.The only attention he received was when he was dying, and aftez death, wken his kody, was sown up in canvas and pitched into the sea, the single religious service during the whole voyage being held; at the burial at sea.The saloon passengers.were : Captain Qissing, wife and daughter, Mr, Way, Dr.Nelson, Mr.and Mrs.Greenwood, two children and servant, Mrs.Peters and child, Mr.Tollen, Mr.Xoch, Mr.Matthew Low, of Brooklyn, Mrs.Wheeler, two boys and servant, Mr.Watt, Mrs, Watt, en, : WANTED, FIFTY GOOD BOYS to sell THE HERALD on

ASYLUM.As een by Representatives of the Prews.At the invitation of the Mother Superior, a representative of Tre HERALD paid a visit to the Longue Pointe Asyluw on Saturday.-As a number of other newr- paper men were.&lso invited, tbe party was quite a large one.« When we arrived at the principal entramce of the institution we saw attached to the door a large placard with.the worde-\u2018\u201cNo admittance \u201d written upon it in large characters, We were ad- mitsed, however, and were ushered into the waiting-room,.where we were kindly received by Sister Therese, the Mother Superior, and the Chaplain of the Asylum, Father Leclerc.The reom was plainly, but neatly furnished, and had quite a com: fortable appearance.No time.was lost in conversation, but the party, under the guidance of Sister Therese herselt, proceeded to inspect the asylum.\u2018We .were, âret shown into the dispensary, which is large aod apparently well stocked, \u2018It is & model of neatoess and good arrangement.It 1s managed solely by the Sisters.We peeped into the business office, and saw at a glance that it was furnished witk a large safe, to all appearance big enough for a bank.The clerks are all ladies, and they keep the rooms in better than apple-pie order.We were next shown the lecture room and on® of the parlors, in which.the public patients receive their friends, There is nothing gorgeous about these parlors, but they are all neatly \u20acurnished, and have plants in the windows ænd pictures on the walle.They are well lighted, cheerful and comfortable, and as nest and clean as hands can make them.The lecture seom is large enough to hold a good-sized audéence,and contains much to please and nathing to oftend the eye.We then proceeded to visit the parts of the building in which the patients live.It may as well be said here, as elsewhere, that the same scrupulous cleanliness, good order and peatnees which were observable in the apartments to which the public have access were conapieuous in every part of the building.The 0018, walls and furniture were all clean and bright, and whatever may be the habits of the patients, nothing unsightly or offensive was discernible.We were shown into oneo fthe dormitories, \u2018'l'here are eight beds in it.Like ever: thing else in the building, they were clean end comfortable.The ventilation iss a8 far as could be observed on such a hasty visit, good, and the means of heating ample.The temperature of the different wards was pleasant.Although we kept moving all the time, up stairs and down, none of us complained of being too warm, and the patients everywhere appeared to be quite comfortable, We visited the infirmary, mm which there were a number of beds occu= pied, but not go many as might be expected in 80 large an institution, The patients were of all ages, from the consumptive child, fondly carressing her doll, to the feeble old woman, patiently awaiting her release from the cares, and troubles, and afflictions of this world of sorrow.All were quiet, and it was hard to a imagine that the sufferers were, besides + their other complaints, suffering from a mind diseased.Near the infirmary was a cupboard, in which were gtored medicines required to be used in en emergency.In the corridors were the patients.some quietly at work knitting or sewing, but the greater number were doing nothing.They were all clean and were n.atly and comfortably clad.Many of them were ex- geedingly communicative, and were ready to tell the visitors their whole history, the principal feature of which in most cates was that they were perfectly sare and were kept in the asylum for most mysterious reasons.Others showed some interest in the visitors, and smiled and giggled, but said nothing, while quite à number appeared indifferent to everything that was going on around them.In one of the wards was & large number of children, mauy of whom it could be seen at a glance were hopeless idiots, I pitied the young Sister whose duty it was to attend to these unfortunate, but very troublesome creatures In this ward only was there »ny unusual noise.There were amoug the Children some chattering, and they manifested a good desl of restlessness.In the children\u2019s bedroom is a large doll of life size, which must be to them a source of no little amusement, Iu the ward where the \u201cfurious\u201d patients are kept very-little fury was to be observed.There was one lunatic who pranced about to the music of her own not un-melodious voice, and another unfortunate who said things that it was not exactly pleasant to listen to; but food.further than this there were few open indications of madness in the poor women.We passed through the part of the building devoted to private patients.It differs from that in which the public patients-live in being better furnished, but in all essential respects, euch as cleanliness, temperature and ventilation, there is no difference perceivable, between the wards of the two different sets of patients.In themen\u2019s wards the principal difference in the economy of the institution observable was that the attendants \u2014guardians, as they are called\u2014are men.The patients are of the same classes as are to be seen in ary large lunatic asylum.They are well clad, and appear to be well fed.One of them told the writer in confidence that there are worse places in the world than the asylum, and another bright looking lad said that he had gone wrong from growing tall too much,\u201d The number both of men and women who talk English is quite considerable.An interestinz patient was à Caughnawaga Indian who is getting so well that he will in a few days get his discharge.He is a bright, intelligent looking young fellow.Iwas told that sixty patients had been discharged from the institution as cured during the last three \"ronths.It was getting dark while we were in the men\u2019s department and we were consequently obliged to hurry through some of the wards.If there are any \u201c* furious \u201d patients among the men we did vot see them, But we were at liberty to see everything and to talk to everybody.Every door was open in the wards through which we passed and no restraint whatever was put upon the visitors.We were shown the cells for the \u201c mauvaise \u201d patients, They are in the top story and reminded me forcibly of the cells I saw in the Stoney Mountain Penitentiary nearWin- nipeg & few weeks ago, except that they had not 80 good & supply of light, nor had they the conveniences which are allowed to the eriminals.The doors are not of grating but of solid wood, with a small hole in the upper part which can be closed on the outside at any moment, when the patient js in total darkness except for the light that can struggles in through a few auger holes in the woodwork over the door.The only furniture in these cells is a bed.The lower part of the walls for about six or seven feet is of wood.It must be a dread_ THF MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL Ghz vies ful punishment to be immured in one of these cells for any length of time.The patient has no means that I could see of commuvicating with those outside his cell.While passing through the building we eaw the chapel, which is Jarge and has a gallery.In this gallery is a cabinet organ.\"be patients, I was told, enjoy the music very much.After we had finished our inspection of the wards we were shown the parlor of the institution.Itis a magnificent roam, handsomely furvished and would make, a8 one of the visitors remarked, an excellent ball-room.Here the newepaper men surrounded the Mother Superior and commenced asking questions about the emall- pox and the representations that had been made concernirg it.Sister Therese spoke freely and answered the questions quite readily, She said that the smallpox had made its appearance in tbe institution in the beginning of November, that che did not then nouty the Central Board of Health of the circumstance but that the house physician had been since that time in com- muni ation with the Central Board of Health regarding it.She said that Drs.Perrault and Duquette had offered their eervices to vaccinate tue Inmates but that\" she had declined to ava:l herself of their professional ek\u2019ll as she had her own physicians i whom she had coufidence, She explained that she had not threatened to sbut the doors of the Asylum oa Dr.Howard if he entered the smallpox hospital, but that if he did enter it she would not permit him to go back and see the inmates of the Asylum on the same day.She admitted that she did not comply with the requirements of the law passed last session by the Quebec Legislature with re- epect to the Medical Superintendent, because that law was opposed to the terms of her contract.The contraci gave the contractors full control of the medical treatment of the patients, which that law took from them, and she was advised that the Legislature did not possess the power to nullify the contract which the Government had made.She stood by the contract, and where the law intereferes with the contract she ignores the law.This, as far as I understand, is the ground taken by the Mother Super- lor.With regard to the suppression of the smallpox and the means taken to prevent its spread she had acted under the advice of her physicians, Drs.Durocher and Prieur, There were on Saturday some seven hundred of the patients vaccinated, She had removed those patients who were infected and those who were thought to be infected to another building, which had no diregt communication with the asylum.The sisters who attended the smallpox patieats had no personal communication with those that were in theasylum.They had not been in the asylum since they had entered the smallpox hospital.Every precaution was taken to prevent the spread of the disease.The food for the smallpox patients was taken to the outside of the building in which they were confined and 8 bell rung and the nurses carried it in.The mattresses on which the patients who had died had lain had been burned.There are now eighteen patients in the hospital.The building in which the smallpox patients are confined had been placarded, but not the asylum itself nor the fences by which it is surrounded.When we returned to the reception room we were shown the report made by In- speciors Desaulniers and Smith.That report spoke highly of the general management of the institution, of the goodness of the food and of the competency and zeal of the attendants, both male and female; but although the report was made on the 16th of the present month, it did not cos tain one word about the existence of the emsllpoxin or near the institution.The visitor who read that report could bave no suspicion that the iumates of the asylum were in any danger of being exposed to the attacks of a loathsome and deadly disease.Before leaving the Longue Pointe Aey- lum we Were taken to see the situation of the smallpox hospital.It is in a building distinct from the asylum. «8 \u201c GCIryYy NEWS.Tue Board of Out Door Relief, acknowledges mith thanks the folowing-donations, viz.,

451 who had refused vaccination have since allowed the operation to be performed by the Committee's physicians.There were many more who still refused vaccination and the physicians were now going among them for the last time, and if they still refused, they would be prosecuted.After some discussion the report was adopted.A report from the Isolation Committee showed that there were at present 23 infected houses iu the city, the majority being in the West End.Their staff of police had now been reduced to 17 officers and men.A letter from the Finance Committee recommending the Board to reduce their expenses was not received with favor, one of the citizen members saying if they repeated such letter he would resign, An account of $3560, for the erection of the disinfecting shed on the Champ de Mars and cells in the basement of the City Hall was ordered to be paid.An opinion was read from the counsel of the Central Board, which stated that that body had the power to prosecute Ste.Cune- onde for not complying with the rules of the Board, and that now they would act with vigor towards that municipality.After some business of minor importance and of a routine nature the Board adjourned until Tuesday, at 10.30 a.m.WHAT WAS FOUND IN STE.OUNEGONDE.On Thursday afternoon Chief Detective Cinq Mars, ofthe Central Board, visited Ste.Cunegonde and personally served the\u2019 official document of the Central Board on each of the following gentlemen of the Board of Health of the municipality: Rev.Father Sequin, Mr, H.Morin, Mayor of the village; G.Ducharme, Secretary; G.Luttrell, Mr.Dorey and Dr.Cyphiot.The document cautioned every individual member of the Board to have placarded and icolated every house, and report on all such cases of emallpox to the Central Board at once.On receipt of these orders Dr.Cyphiot at once sent in his report which stated that there were only four cases of emallpox in the municipality.Some doubt being felt in the minds of the members of the Central Board as to the correctness of this report, on Saturday afternoon, Doctors Lauzon and Ambrose, of the Board, accompanied by Detective Cing Mars and Constable Baudin, visited Ste.Cunegonde, with the object in view of personal inspection.The visitors were well received by Dr.Cyphiot, who accompanied them on their rounds, During the afternoon they visited eight houses and found the state of aflairs in a far worse way then expected.Instead of four cases there was smallpox in every house houses, the officers remaining at the doors.A peculiarity of the way the placarding has been done in Ste, Cunegonde is that instead of being placed on the outside of the houses, where possibly they might be of some public utility, they were nearly in be only seen by the inmates, In one case a placard was found attached to a bedroom door on the second flat.There appeared not to be the slightest attempt made either to warn off or keep persons from contagion.Ia another house entered by the doctors was found a man badly under the influence of liquor paying a visit to a smallpox patient.In this cage the visiting officers took the law in their own hands by at once taking the\u2019 in dividual.from the house and haviag him - disinfected.While this was being done a small crowd gathered, and trouble was and sll aches, pains, soreness and lame ness, : { visited.Only the doctors entered the|g every case on the inside, where they could Ii ing a rescue.From the fact that only about half an hour waa spent in visiting, and during that time eight bad cases of smallpox were discovered, rome idea may be had of the terrible etate of affairs in Ste, Cunegonde.How Dr.Cyphiot reconciled bis report of four cases, when double that nnmber were found during the short viet, ie unknown aa the doctors made a private report to the Board.It is stated that she residenis of the municipality have listened to so many threats from the officials of the Central Board, that they now look upon the whole matter a8 &;joke.They, however, will learn, this morning, that it is no joking matter, ag the first prosecutions will be eutered against the -Ste.Cunegonde law breakers.Mr.Boxer, the efficient Secretary of the Board, has been working night and day to awake them to a sense of their wrong doing, but without effect : but now, per- baps, when once they are brought before the Court aud taught a lesson or two, they may become a little more amenable to reason.Detective Cinq Mars, who received such a high compliment at the meeting of the , Local Board, on Saturday, will likely see that whatever the Central Board order, ia re Ste.Cunegonde, will be thoroughly carried out.CENTRAL BOARD BULLETIN.Vaudreuil\u2014No local Board and no vaccination to any extent, although there are ca-es of smallpox.There is a strong prejudice against vaccination.* St.Lazare (Vaudreuil)~Seven weeks ago smallpox broke aut in one family in this place;

The case substantially, was this :\u2014Mrs, Sweeney, the present respondent, brought an action against the Bank of Montreal, in respect of certain shares in \u2018a joint stock company [the Montreal Rolling Mills Company] pledged to the Bank of Montreal by que e.Sweeney allowed certian shares to be placed in the name of Rose in the books of the joint stock company, and they had the words in \u2018trust\u2019 attached to them, and the certificate was given to Rose of \u201c| the-e shares, which bore on the face of it \u201c James Rose, in trust.\u201d Rose pledged these shares to the Bank of Montreal, and Mrs.Sweeney claimed them as being her property.It did not appear conclusively that the Bank knew anything of the transactions between Rose \u2018and \u2019 Mrs.Sweeney except what appeared on the face of the document itself, ¢\u201c James Rose, in trust.\u201d Lord Monkswell\u2014Rose sold these shares to the Bank ?.Mr.Jeune\u2014Deposited them as security.Lord Monkewell\u2014But they had been eu- tered in his name \u201c in trust \u201d before that, and the words \u201c in trust \u201d stood.Mr.Jeune\u2014 Yes.Sir R.Couch\u2014Then he pledged those certificates to the Bank of Montreal ?Mr.Jeune\u2014Yes.On the third of June Rose transferred them to Buchanan (the manager of the Montreal Bank) in trust, but he did not state anything as to the uature of the trust.Buchauan had no knowledge that Rose held the shares in trust for Mrs.Sweeney or any particular person.The transfers were given as collateral security for advances by the Bank to Rose personally.Rose was largely indebted to the Bank, and Mrs.Sweeney was unaware of the transfer to Buchanan until she was informed in January, 1880.The Court of first instance held that Mrs.Sweeney was not entitled to recover; and when the case came before the Court of Appeal of the Province of Quebec, all the judges held that under French law the respondent was not entitled to recover.On the other hand the majority of the judge- of the Supreme Court held that the respondent was entitled to recover.The poiut he wished to put before their Lordships was that the decisions given in favor of thie respondent were really based on the English law as to trusts and that the French law was immaterial to it.He admitted that it was difficult for an English lawyer to take a different view, but what he submitted was that tne judgments given by the French courts, and by a very elaborate jadgment given in the Supreme Court, show that there is cousiderabe ground for saying, and indeed the authorities referred to by the learned judges, were conclusive that according to French law the whole position of things was different.French law did not recognize trusts in our sense of the word at all; nor did it correspond to the doctrine of notice : they looked at the matter from quite a different point of view and thëy thought that the re- epondent should not suffer.According to rench decisions the doctrine of trust ought not to be brought in, and the bank was entitled to hold the shares.Sir R.Couch\u2014S8hall we have to decide 1t on the French code ?Mr.Jeune\u2014Not 80 much on the code as upon priuciple.I agree that upon Kng- lish law a person seeing shares * in trust\u201d would be put upon notice, but that is not 80 according to French law at all.There is one fact which shows that there is very strong prima facie ground for thinking so, an i also as showing the misfortune of this case, viz.: that this bank was constantly in the habit of taking deposits of this kind from persons who held shares of this sort in trust, and that they never thought of inquiring, aod never felt bound to say what the trust was, If this judgment were right, then it upsets the ordinary opinion of commercial people on this subject.The learned counsel having reviewed some of the judgments of the Court below, Lord Monkswell delivered the judgment of the Court.He eaid in this case there was a question of great interest and im- rtance, viz.: whether the English or tue rench law should prevail, as this was a matter of general public interest, and we think that the case should be heard.Judgment accordingly.ADDRESS AND PRESENTATION By the Employes of Tees & Co.to the Members of the Firm.On Christmas Eve the employes of the Messrs.Tees & Co.decided on giving the members of that enterprising firm* tokens of their esteem and friendship, and for that purpose deputed rome of their number to read the following address :\u2014 MonTREaL, Dec.24, 1886.To Messrs.David and Wm.Tees: Deir Sirs,\u2014We, the employes engaged in your desk manufactory, avail onrselves of the present opportunity to express the pleasure we have always had in serving you (come of us being able to look back upon a period of 21 years spent in your employment), and thank you for your ume form generosity and kind treatment.We admire you for your straightforward business principles and indomitable energy, which have now placed you at the head of the manufacturing firms in the same line of business in the Dominion, As a token of our esteem and good will, we beg your acceptance of these souvenirs.Wishing you and your families continued happiness, health and prosperity, We remain, Your faithful servants, (Signed on , Franc A.Daxix, of the Jory CALDERS, employees.James RoBERTSON.Mr.David Tees was presented at the same time with a pair of gold spectacles, and Mr.Wim, Tees with a very handsome gold-headed cane, as tokens of their friendship, Both gentlemen suitably replied in appropriate addresses.erent THE BOYS® VERDICT.\u2018The boys in the Herald office mostly all smoke cigars and some of them can appreciate an odd specimen of the root which stands anyway high in the scale of excellence, The other evening they had to discuss the merits of the famous Creme de la Creme\u201d brand;

the weather was most enjoyable, clear and bracing, and with a little more snow the tramping would have been perfect.The President, however, led the club about three miles back ot the usual bee line, and with the exception of perhaps two or three fieids that were covered with ice instead of snow, the walking was fairly good.About two hours and & half of steady walking brought the club to Hanna's hospitable hotel.8hortly afterwards the *¢ train brigade \u201d piloted by the 2ai Vice, arrived, swelling the muster to 40 all up.Dinner having been done full justice to, the usual programme of song was gone through, R.J.Ross, C, D.Monk, J.Monk, Ewes, Doucet, Scott, Mathews and others coo- tributing a share towards the evenivg\u2019s fun, At ten o\u2019clock the club left by road for home which was reached about half past eleven.The \u201cSaints\u201d will visit Lachine again next Saturday, and again on the following Saturday when a race for the Hanua medal and other prizes open to those who have tramped to Lachine this year willtake place.A good competition 18 expected.The green steeple chase to Lumpkin\u2019s takes place on the 12th January, and a fortnight later the open club race.Tobogganing.The formal opening of the Montreal Tobogganing Slides on Sherbrooke street west, which had been postponed for a week, took place with great ec/afon Satur- dayaft.rnoon.From two o\u2019clock until the hour of opening Sherbrooke street appeared quite gay from the constant stream of ladies and their cavaliers in the oriental tobogganing suite of the various clubs wending their way to the slides of \u201cthe Montreal,\u201d At 3 pm, the hour named for the opening, there must have been several thousand of both sexes present on the club grounds.As a fuil description of the slide has already appeared in these columes it is unnecessary to repeat it this morning.No especial formalities attended the upen- ing, but the guests and visiting members of sister clubs were well received and every attention paid them.Tne clubhouse was well heated and very comfortable, and nothing seemed left undone by the wanagement of the club for the com- tort uf wembers during the season.We uuderstand that the membership is steadily increasing, and we wish the promoters continued success and an enjoyable season vf port.The slides of the ¢ Tuque Bleue\u201d Club, on the Montreal Lacrosse grounds, are now in capital condition, and on Saturday afternoon and evening large numbers of the wearers of the blue tuque indulged in the pleasures of their favorite tobogganing.The four chutes of the Lansdowne Tobogganing Club on Fletcher\u2019s Field, are now in âne condition for the season, the slides, 1t is eaid, being swifter than ever.The committee of management have recently placed ten more electric lights on the grounds, and now tobogganing by night can go on pniateruptedly whether luna shines or not.The slide of the St.Lambert Club was opened for the season on Christmas afternoon under the most favorable circumstances.Visiting membersof the Longueuil Clab were present in force, and the village had a large influx of visitors from the city in the evening ; the slides were brilliantly illuminated, and the Mayor and councillors of the village were present, and conducted themselves like veteran tobogganers.On Saturday night the slides were again illuminated and the Club held an at-home in the new club house.Many city visitors were present by invitation; refreshments were served and a most enjoyable time spent.The slides of the Longueuil Club \u2018were formally opened on Saturday night.Numbers of city friends went over for the inauguration and notuing occurred during the evening to mar the enjoyment of the exhilarating sport.On the Skate.Owing to business being partly suspended on Saturday, the Victoria Rink was well patronized, notwithetanding the fact that there were numerous other attractions to draw the amusement-loving public, and that the beautiful weather made it a day articularly adapted for out-door sports.ba the eveniug the Victoria Rifle Band played a select programme at the rink and very large numbers of lady and gentlemen skaters were present and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.The management of the Crystal Rink have secured a handsome new set of about seventy-five flags of all nations for decorative purposes, and now that they are put up, the rink presents a very handsome appearance.The Prince of Wales\u2019 Skating Rink was largely attended on Saturday.In the evening the Prince of Wales\u2019 band was in attendance, and the pleasure-seekers not only enjoyed the good skating, but were also delighted with the musical programme rendered.The following officers have recently been elected by the Lansdowne Skating Club of St.John, N.B.:\u2014President, J.8.B.De Veber ;

and perhaps many people will prefer to tee her as a society lady than as the rustic fisher maid, in which character, however, she has delighted thousazds at the Academy during tue past week.\u201cIdol of the Hour\u201d ig a \u2018romantic\u2019 drama, and was written especially for Miss Coghlan by Will C.Cowper.Modesta (Mise Coghlan) is the star of the Imperial Tifeatre, ut Vienna\u2014the idol of the hour, as the title of the play suggests, Modesta is surrounded and courted by all the moths of society, including an Austrian count, a Russian prince and an English lord.The aud abounds in thrilling situations.The costumes worn by Miss Coghlan are marvels of ingenuity and beauty, and were made eepecialiy for tbe play in Paris last summe.JANISH, COUNTESS ARCO, NEXT WEEK.On Monday next and during the week, Janieh will produce her great play by Sardou, entitled, ** Princess Andrea.\u201d Uf her performance in this play nothing better can be said than to quote Nym Crinkle\u2019s criticism in the New York World :\u2014¢¢ Jauish at the Madison Square Theatre charmed me by an art which is as subtle as an odor.I cannot recall in ail my experience any ore who 80 exquisitely portrayed the tendernese, the delicacy, the sweet and holy affection of a wife, In her attempts to win her husband back from the mad hallucination of the actress, she exlibits a fund of feminine resources that not one actress in & hundred is acquainted with, Watch her get hold of him on that sofa.She employs ten thousand little endearments that no one but a wife! is acquainted with, when she lays her hands upon him, by an inarticulate magic, of the more thao ten thousand golden links that are between them.Its worth a visit to see her lay her cheek against his and try that old charm over again\u2014and you koow in à moment that it has lain there many a time before, and she is wondering if all the magic of her love has gone out of the contact.1 have heard 1t gaid\u2014aud have proven the truth of it by observation\u2014 that a woman will determine the relation of a lady and gentleman anywhere if she cau observe their conduct five minutes together.Ihave seen her do this thoueands of times, when to me the means were in explicable.I have heard her say to me in the parquet on the first night: Those two are husband and wife and tbe-e two are lovers.And she deter- miued it unerringly by their treatment of each other.So I say that any woman taken into the Madison Square Theatre to see Janieh, and not able 10 hear a word of the dialogue, would decide in two minutes that the uctress was a wife in love with her busband.ln iove making\u2014or rather in love exhibiting \u2014Mme.Jaoish is the most exquisite artist I ever saw.Modjeska is arctic beside her, and Bernhardt 1s gelid.You forget her broken English, and you thrill with her pantomime, She purrs all over the object of her love with a warm, irresistible devotion that seems to emanate from her limbs and her sympathetic face, and hallow her with a tenderness that no words can describe, and no pigments portray.\u201d Theatre Royal.This afternoon and evening, the Alice Oates Burlesque Company will present lesque extravaganza that has been received with immense applause wherever played in the United States.Miss Alice Oates will be supported by her own company, consisting of 25 firet-class lady artistes, and three excellent comed:ans.The following is t he cast of characters :\u2014 Earl Darnley [a banished Peer\u2014shame fully misrepresented at first but having full justice done at Jast) .Allce Oates.Constance de Grey [an English heiress and a ward in Chancery} ve-suu:000 Minnie Burroughs.The Duke of Suffolk [master of ceremonies to the English court, & heavy swell Rose Decker.Le Sieur de Borsey [master of ceremonies to the French court ;
