PARTY.Portugal at Boiling Point Over Salisbury\u2019s Firmness.IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.Comservative Amendment to Smith's Motion.Lonnox, March 7.\u2014In the House of Commons this eveaing Mr, Louis Jennings, Conservative member, gave notica of his intention to move an addition to the motion of Mr.Smith, on the acceptance of the commission\u2019s raport, which would declare that the House con- demred the conduct of those who were responsible for having accused members of the House of complicity in oatraze and murder, the accusations being based on forged lotinrs.\u201d Mr.Justin McCarthy said he was glad to find a Conservative taking an independent action.Sir Henry James asked what was Lo» Caron as compared to men who had taken oaths to destroy the Gove:nment of the Queen and establishn a Republic, and had then entered Parliament and sworn allegiance to Her Mejesty?He would rather occupy Le Caron\u2019s position than the pcsition of men who were associates of assassins.The debate thereafter became so wearisome thei the House finally lacked a quorum and adjourned.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 GOVERNMENT'S QUANDARY.Deserted by Many Supporters, LoxpoN, March 7.\u2014As the debaie 13- lative tothe acceptance of the report of the Parnell commission proceeds in the House of Commons, indications increase that the Government will not be able tocommand its iull voting strength in favor of Mr.Smith\u2019s motion.The aciion of Mr.Caine, the Unionist, who is denouncing the methods pursued by the Times and the Government's tacit approval thereof, has influenced several members of his party td abstain from voting oa Mr.Smith's motion, or to go still furiher and support Mr.Gladstone\u2019s amendment, while the attitude of Lord Randolph Churchill, Mr.Louis J.Jeanings, and several other Tory members, must necessarily place additional obstacles in the Governments path, It is well understood that the amendment of which Mr.Jennings gave notice in the House was instigated by Lord Randolph Churchill, who, it is asserted, bas expressed himself in favor of proceeding midway between the positions assumed by Mr.Smith and Mr.Gladstone, and it is expected that such a departure from strict party lines will afford a consisient refuge i: many doubting Tories aad Unionists who might otherwise deem it expedient to vote in opposition to their convictions, PORTUGAL'S

GRAVE.Nationalists Pursued Him Aficr Death.Loxpon, March 7.\u2014A tremendous sensation has been caused in Cork by the discovery that the body of the late Bailiff Markham has been stolen from the Killman charch yard.Markham was absolutely boycotted during the last 10 years of his life for the conspicuous part he had taken in evictions, and for thai period was under police protection.In fact the man was so generally and thoroughly detested by the Nationalists that the police are wholly unable to direct suspicion of participation in the robbery of bis grave against any particular person or persons.\u2014\u2014\u2014 CABLE BREVITIES.Loxpon, March 7.\u2014The statistics compiled in the War office show the enrollment of 224,000 volunteers throughout the Kingdom, of which number 216,009 are

house and at the tomb was remarkably large, the vault being literally covered with flowers.Lonpox, March 7\u2014It is said to-night that all of the followers of Mr.Chamberlain, with the exception of Mr.Caine, will vote with the Government on Mr.Emith\u2019s motion, and that the rider to be offered by Mr.Jen: ings will receive the support of himself and the Churchill contingent only._\u2014 IRREGULAR BANKING BUSINESS.The President Loans co Himself.New York, March 7\u2014The Evening Post says: It has been learned that Pell, Simmons, Wallack and the other bank wreckers, used the Asbury Park (New Jersey) National Bank for their check- killing operations.Sigmund Meyer, whose connection with the wreckers has been alleged, was interested in the As- bury Park concern.It does not appear that the bank lost anything by the cperations of the fuct that there were business transac- ions of the kind referred to led tbe National Bank examiner to inquire into the condition of the bank, and this resulted in the discovery that the president, George W.Biram, had loaned the bank fands to bimself for use in real estate speculations, to the extent of $56C%0.The bank\u2019s capital is $100,000, and the law permits only ten par cent.of the amount to be loaned in the manner that Byram had loaned it.Byram is making the amount good, and the bank will doubtless be allowed to continue in business.wrecks, but the THE PRINCETON MURDER.Bringing the Crime Home.Woopstock, Ont, March 7.\u2014The inquest on the remains of F.C.Benwell, the man found murdered near Princeton on the 2lst February, was resumed at Princeton tbis afterncon.A large crowd of spectators filled and surrounded the ball where it was held.The first witness was George Hay, brakeman.His evidence was substantially the same as that given by him at Niagara Falls yestarday and published in this morning's papers.He positively identified Someiset, or Burchell, as having got on the train at Eastwood at 3 45 on Monday, Feb.17.The next witness, Conductor Poole, swore that two young men get off his train at Eastwood at 11.14 on Monday, Feb.17.One was dark _complexioned and wore a moustache.They got on his train at Hamilton.He was certain they were not on the train between the bridge and Hamilton.His train was the first leaving the bridge that morning.He did not remember where their tickets were from, but the tickets themselves could be secured.Two trains, however, left the bridge after him, one at 7.35 and one at 7.40 left Hamilton bofore him.His being a local train, neither of these two trains stoppad at Eastwood, so that the passengers might have leit the bridge by either cf the other trains and have got on to his train at Hamilton.A piece of baggage, a curious looking gun case, was put oif the train at Eastwood that morning.He did not know whether the piece of beggage belonged to the men who got off at Eastwood.He thought the overcoat was of a lighter color than the one found on deceased.The next witness, Mathew Virtue, swore that as he was going to Woodstock on the accommodation on the morning of the 7th of February he saw two men get off at Eestwood, but could not describe them particularly, cther than that one wore a capa on his overcoat.- John Crosbie, second concession of Blenheim, on the 17th of February, was going ta East Obford.He met two men a little east of Robin£on\u2019s blacksmith shop, on the Governor's road.This would bs ketween four and five miles irom the scene of the murder.Both were young men, one was of medium height, light complexion, dark felt hat and overcoat with cape.He wore a pair of glasses and carried a small parcel.The other man was a little stouter and wore a moustache.He would not be certain whether or not he had an overcoat on, but thought he had.A picture of the dead man was shown to the witness, but he could not identify the face, though it had the general shape of the man who wore the glasses.Met the men towards 12 o'clock.Alice Smith, granddaughter of Jno.Haywcod, of Eastwood, swore that about three o\u2019clock on the afternoon of Febraary 17th she went to the station Ca her way she met \u201cLord\u201d Somerset.She had seen him before at Woodstock and at her grandfather's.He held out his hand and shook hands with her.She asked if it was Dudley, and he laughed and said: \u201cDon\u2019t you know me ?\u201d He inquired aftar the family and said: \u201cHow's the old governor ?° He bought a ticket for Hamilton.She wai almest sure the man was Somerset, but she could reccznize him again if, as she said, \u201cthey didn\u2019t keep him too long from his champagne and claret.\u201d He was going towards the station from the north wben they met.Mary Swayzier was at the station at Eestwood on the 17th when the three clock train came in.She saw a stranger talking to the station mastar, medium tall, bright eyes and dark moustache.She could not say what kind of a cap be wore.Ida Cromwell remembkared the 17th February.She saw a stranger buy a ticket for Hamilton at Eastwood, about three o'clock.He wore light trousers.She would know the man again if she saw him.His boots were very muddy, and not laced quita to the top, His trousers were rolled up.Ibhomas Dunn, station master at Eastwood, testified to having sold a ticket to Hamilton on the aftsrnoon of the 11th to a man with a dark moustache.His bootg were muddy and bis pants rolled up.He got on the accommodation for Hamilton.Charles Giles, of the second concession of Blandford, 3aw two men going past his house one day, but didn\u2019t remember the day, and knew nothing more about it.Alfred Hayward, Eastwood, saw a couple of men coming pest the mill on February 17th tatween 11 and 12 o'clock.He identified the coat found on Benwell as having been worn by one of the men.The other man were a short coat, but no; an overcoat.The man who wore the coat threw a snowball at a cat and they appeared to be joking.Jobn Fredonburg, concession 1, Blenheim, remembered the 17th of February last.He was driving down Governors road east about 11.30, and at Overbolt\u2019s mill two men got on and rode about a mile with him until he went into the woods.Both wore black overcoats, both had moustaches and neither wore eyeglasses.They walked on after he turned into the woods.Jas.Hayward, Eastwood, saw a man at Eastwood on February 17, in the afternoon, whom he knew to be Somerset.He wore light pants, and a dark coat, not an overcoat.The inquest was then adjourned till to-morrow at 1 o\u2019clock._\u2014_.Advoc:ting a New Railway.Hayton, Ont, March 7.\u2014The Council of the Board of Trade has agreed to memorialize the Dominion *Government to grant a subsidy to the Nipissing & James Bay Railway Company equal to

parliamentary influence to secure timber limits from the Government.His motion recitss the correspondence that passed between Rykert and Adams, and a statment of the facts of the case, and concludes

Toronto, Ont, Mar.7.The committee room of the Legislature Was the scene of à most interesting event about three o\u2019clock this afternoon.The occasion was the presentation to their much-respected Premier of a highly complimentary address and a magnificent life size oil portrait of himself by the Liberal members of the House.Mr.Meredith, leader of the Opposition, and a goodly sprinkling of Conservative members, attended, and Mrs.Mowat, with several lady friends, graced the ceremony by her presence.Mr.Bal- lantyne, a leading Liberal member, read the address, which was highly eulogistic of the Premier's long and valuable services to his beloved province.The At.torney-Geieral, on attempting to reply, was So overcome with emotion that it wes some minutes before he could sufficiently control his feelings.He warmly thanked his friends in a brief speech, overflowing with gratitude and kind words for his colleazues and the Liberal members generally.The picture, which is remarkably life-like, was painted by Mr, J.Forbes of this city, and elegantly mounted.It bears the following inscription : \u201cPresented to Hon.Oliver Mowat, Premier and Attorney-General, by the Liberal members of the 6th Parliament, of the Province of Ontario.\u201d Mr.Conmee, of West Algoma, has given notice of a resolution recommending to the Government the advisability of establishing a practical

Meeting.Orrawa, Ont, March 7.\u2014Mr.William Wainwright, assistant traffic manager of the Grand Trunk Railway, to-day, in conversation with a reporter, said : \u201cI am opposing the proposed bridge from the gaol at Montreal, via Isle Ronde ta Lobngueu:l, both in my official position with the Grand Trunk Railway and in my capacity as one of the council of the Montreal Board of Trade.The promoters have promised to eliminats the clauses for the railway portion of the bridge, but so far they have not done this.If they do, the Grand Trank Railway has no further objection.The other proposition is strongly opposed by the Harbor Commissioners, and would come under Sir John\u2019s care as a new bridge across the St, Lawrence.\u201d Since the workingmen\u2019s banquet to Mr.Chapleau last year there has been more or less trouble over the account.Mr.J.A.Corry, one of the leaders of the movement, did not, it seems, send in the account for the articles he had ordered until after the committee had made a general settlement, and then the committee refused to pay the amount, some $47.The little bill hung fire fur some time, then the creditor sent it into the committee, wbo refused to pay it.Mr.Corry disclaimed indebtedness, and a suit was brought against him in the Division Court, and this morning a bailiff waited on him, and it was pay or go to gaol.Mr.Corry preferred the former, and now everything is lovely again.Mr.J.E.Enider, of Toronto, waited on Hons.M.Bowell and G.E.Foster yesterday.He proposes to start a canned soup factory and in order to render this practicable asks that the present duty of two cents a pound on raw tomatoes be increased and that of 20 per cent.on imported canned soup increased.Mr.E.G.Saunders, a lawyer, and Mr.J.McCall, a large meat dealer and a director of the Dead Meat Company, of London, Eng., arrived here to day to in- SUBSCRIPTION $6.00 PER ANNUM.which the company was floated in England, and to see whether the business can be carried on.They absolutaly refused to say anything regarding the company or the prospecius until their return.They had a long interview with Sir Hector Langevin, a fellow director, this morning and will see Hon.M, Carling, minister of agriculture, this afternoon regarding the cattle trade.The graduates of McGill university, in Ottawa and vicinity, are about to form a graduates society for the purpose of bringing about closer union amongst themselves and promoting the interests of the university.A meeting will probably be held next week in furtherance of this object.There are altogether about 80 graduates in this neighborhood.Jones vs.Fisher was taken up in the Supreme Court tc-day.This action was for damages to plaintiff (respondent) and caused by a dam construct2d, whereby the land was overflooded.Defendant claims there was a dam at the placa named for over 50 years, and it was simply rebuilt, baving been damaged.Judgment wes reserved: Mr.Laflamme, Q.C., for appslant, and Mr.Geoffrion, Q.C., and Mr, Dufty for respondent.The court then adjourned till Tuesday, when the Ontario cases will be heard.The first of which is Lemay vs McRae.The city druggists held a meeting this morning to consider the recent conviction of Mr.J.M.Musgrove by magistrate O\u2019- Gara for breach of the law in counter prescribing.All the city druggists were represented.The opinion was that the conviction was proper, according to the strict letter of the law,but it was decided, before aprzaling this case to a higher court, that the opinion of a leading lawyer should be obtained as to how the druggists really stood.At present they feel they are not empowered to recommend the simplest patent medicine for the simplest complaint.It was decided to appoint Messrs.Waters and Skinner as a deputation to wait ou the members of the Medical Association at their next meeting and ascertain their views and interpretation of the law on the subject.The opinion was unanimous that the time had come when some final authority on the subject should be obtained to guide the druggists in their future line of conduct.The policy of chartering a company to construct a railway through an abso- lutzly unknown country to an undetermined point, on what was described ag an ice-bound coast for a good many months in the year, occupied the attan- tion of the Railway Committee this morning.The bill was to incorporate David Blain, Joseph Fisher Eley, Hugh Blain, Charles Carbisly Bennett and Jas.Watt Kerr a committee to lay out, construct and operate a railway of the gauge of four feet eight and a half inches, from a point on the Sault Ste Marie river to a point on the extreme eastern boundary of Quebec, to connect therewith a railway to be built across Labrador to a harbor on the coast, a distance said by Mr.Blain to be about 1,200 miles.Sir Donald A.Smith, Mr.Daly, Mr.Trow, Mr.Shanly, Mr.Mitchell and others strongly denounced the road as a wild-cat scheme, and said that if a charter were granted iv would have a disastrous effect upon the credit of Canada in the European money market.Mr.Mulock, Dr.Wilson (Elgin), Mr.Lange- lier, Mr.Wallace and others thought that it should be assumed that the promoters were honest in their intentions and the scheme genuine, in the absence of evidence to the contrary.The charter ought to be granted, they thought, and the promoters given a chance to raise the money neccssary, if they could.Finally, by a vote of 24 to 17, it was decided to pestpone the consideration of the biil uniil next session in order to give the promoters a chance of furnishing more information on the subject.At the Public School Board meeting, Trustee MacCracken thought some action ought to be taken in regard to the letter of the Minister of Education in reply to the communication of the board upon the question of the grant to the separate schools, and moved that the question be referred to a committee consisting of the chairman and Messrs.Henderson, Kirby, Cook, Soper and the mover.Mr.Henderson said he departed a little from the usual routine, but as a personal attack had been made on himself the prime originator in this matter, he concluded the proper course to take would be to write an open letter in which he endeavored to deal with the subject as fully as he was able and he thought Mr.Ross would find some difficulty in answering it (hear, hear), he drew no conclusions but what were warranted by the facts and if Mr.Ross could by any process of reasoning make the lettar written in March or April harmonize wi.h that written in December last, he supposed he (Mr.Henderson) would give it up.In saying that the public schools did not give as much information in their official report as the separate schools, Mr.Ross was simply playing upon words.He (Mr.Henderson) did not speak of any official report, but of the reports of the Board, meaning all the reports.He (the speaker) knew very well this official report did not give full information.and did not profess to do it, Up to 1886 ail the statistics in connection with the different schools were given by the official report.Since that year the statistics had been given at the end of the year with the Inspector\u2019s report.He did not think he would get any answer out of Mr.Ross.If the committee accepted the letter he had written, he did not thing there was anything farther to be done.Mr.MacCracken thought there should be some communication from the board in reply to the Minister of Education.If the reports were correct, an investigation would do no harm.If they were wrong, then the public schools and their supporters would get their rights, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ONE FARMER'S WIFE.Bird-like she\u2019s up at day-dawn's blush, In summer heats or

Bishop Bowman, of the M.E.Church, on charges of unchristian conduct, telling numerons and barefaced falsehoods against charch members, and using unchristian expressions while conversing on religious (subjects, rendered a verdict tc-day, finding Bishop Bowman guilty, and deposing him from his office as Bishop and from the ministry, until the next general conference.The charge cf \u201c unchristian

Curry\u2019s Hall, was shaken as if by an earthquake at three o'clock this morning.Houses settled down about ten feet, and the terrified people ran into the streets, clad in their night shirts, asthey had been aroused from sleep.The cave-in was caused by the falling of the roof of some abandoned colliery workings, 450 feet below the surface.Several houses were wrecked, and gorae took fire from overturned stoves, but the flames were soon extinguished.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A SINGULAR EXPLOSION.Fatal to the Three Boys.EvANSVILLE, Ind., March 7.\u2014 A fatal explosion occurred in the dust room of the Armstrong Furniture Company at 12.45 o\u2019clock this afternoon, resulting in the death of three boys and the, perhaps, fataliojury of the fireman of the factory.The man and and boys were in the dust room for the purpose of shaking out the accumulation of dust and shavings at the mouth of the blow pipes, when a terrible explosion occured, which set the building on fire.The flames were extinguished without delay, when it was found that the following were killed and injured : Fred Sachs, burned to a crisp and terribly mangled ; Harry Cheatham {colored), burned almost to a crisp; George Crawford, badly mangled and body burned so that identification was nearly impossible.Injured\u2014Chas.Shelby, fireman of the factory, badly burned and leg broken.The killed persons were boys aged about 18 years.The cause of the explosion remains a mystery.The damage by the fire was slight.ee ARREST FOR THE HOLTON MUKDER, May Change the Course of Justice.CHATHAM, Ont,

Sixth Parliament\u2014F'ourth Session.\u2014\u2014\u2014 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.[SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.] Quesec, March.7.Among the measures passed during the sitting were an act amending the Treasury Act, by Mr.Blanchet, and an act amending the code of civil procedures, py Duplessia.The remainder of the evening was devoted to the adoption of the following Government orders, which are of particular interest to the commercial metropolis of Canada: Second reading of certain resolutions respeciing pensions of public officers\u2014 Hor.M:, Mercier.Second reading of bill 168 to amend an act of the present session entitled \u2018An act to amend the laws relating to jurors and to payment of crown witnesses.\u2014 Hon.Mr.Turcotte.Resuming the debate on the motion of the Hon.Mr.Mercier, that from Monday next, the 17th ipst, there be two distinct sittings each day.The following questions were put by £; ercer and answered as follows : \u2014 (1) Is there any agreement by which the city of Montreal, instead of constructing iteelf, at it3 own cost, the stone bo: der in front of the Montreal Court House, pays a certain amount to the Government, and the latter hes this work dons at its own expense ?Answer\u2014Yes.; ; (2) If such agreement exists, does i include also the paths and sidewalks which were constructed at the sams time ?Yes ; all of them.(3) What ia the amount so paid by the city of Montreal ?Answer\u2014$10,090.(4) Bow much has the Government expsnded for these works up ta the present date ?.Answer\u2014Nothing.(5) How much more will it have to ay ?Nothing.(6) Were these works done by contract ?Yes.(7) Were contracts called for ?Yes.The remainder of the business done during the night session did not interast the general public to any extent.NOTES, Quesec, March 7.The Opposition had an amendment ready yesterday to Mr, David's resolution to the effect that there was danger to the constitution in accapting any project for Imperlal fedsration or aunexa- tion and that the present discussion could produce no good effect.FLATTERING TO MR.BISSON.The Ormstown Record has a very flattering article upon Mr.E.H.Bisson, M.P.P.for Baauharnois, in which they pay a high compliment to the popularity of the worthy member.In concluding they say: \u201c He was always a Liberal of the old school, having learnt at the feet of the Dorions and Lafonraines.He was elected to represent Beauharnois fn 1386 and gave a general support to the Mercier Government.He opposed the bill to give the Superior Court of the District of Montreal concurrent jurisdiction with that of Beaubarnois, over the County of Huntingdon, because.it was a slight to his district and would injure it in every respect.He is patriotic and indapen- dent, and there can be no doubt that the good services he has rendered his county, will assure his re-election at the end of the present Parliament.PROROGATION, Hon.Mr.Mercier stated this morning that he could not state definitaly, nor could any one else, when the House would prorogue.AN AMENDMENT, Hon, Mr.Turcotte\u2019s proposed amendment to Dr.DeGrosbois\u2019 Quebec Ar: Union Bill is as follows :\u2014 When the House resolves itself into Committee ofthe Whole on Bill No.71, will move that the names and qualities of Richard Turner, trader, and Louis Tourville, trader, of the city of Montreal, be struck out of the preamble, and that the name of N.Faucher de Saint Maurice, homme de lettres, be substituted for the former, that sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10 and 11 of Bill No.71 be struck out and replaced by the following : 1.N.Faucher de Saint Maurica, homme de lettres, Charles Langelier, advocate, both of the city of Quetec, Clifton B.Corey, artist, of Portsmouth, Virginia, Alfred Mundel, artist, Jean Felix Marchand, gentleman, John B.Stewart, gentleman, Charles Greenwood, gentleman, all four of the city of New York, in the State of New York, and such other persons as shall be associated with them are hereby authorized to organize and keap lotteries in accordance with the law in force in this Province respecting lotteries ; the organization and details of each lottery to be subject to the approval or disapproval of the Lieutenant-Gover- nor-in-Council.2.This act shail come into force on the day of its foundation.RAILWAY EXCURSION.The trip over the Quebec Montmorency & Charlevoix railroad yesterday, by members of both Houses and of the press, was a most enjoyable affair.The representatives of the company Messrs.Muliarky, Russell and Cressman were untiring in their efforts to please everyone, and succeeded admirably.The Cotton factory at Montmorenci was in full blast and promises to become a very important institution.The electric light Station was aiso inspected and tha working of the different circuits lucidly ex- J plained.An hour was spant in the famed church of St.Anne de Beaupre the redem- porists fathers being most explicit in their explanations regarding the decorations, the carving of the beautiful marble altars, the relics, miracles and offerings.The party leit the holy spot reluctantly, and as one of their number remarked subseqaently, the Railway Company were deserving of thanks for having furnished the public an opportunity of see ng that besides making laws the Legislature took an active interest in religious matters.Father Melanger was particularly attentive to the party, but fell into the error of suspecting a common news- Paper reporter to be a Legislative Councillor.On the return trip there were refreshments served, and a pleasant time Was spent with songs, speaches and mutual congratulations.The road bids fair to be a great factor in the building up of the country there, and there is no doubt that it will be before long extended.For & Considerable distauce it runs through Some ofthe most historic places of the rovince, aud a trip over it is most interesting.rm Lissox, March 7\u2014The Government has decided to send d b Conference at Brin 50° to the labor AMUSEMENTS.M'DOWELL COMEDY Co.A bumper houee greeted this popular troupe at the Academy last night, and the appreciation the audience showed from the rise to the fall of the curtain with their continued applause was & true sign of the praise that the company deserved.A double bill wag performed, the pieces being \u201cPygmalion and Galatea\u201d and \u201cSnowball.\u201d Every comedy lover is familiar with W.S.Gilbert\u2019s mvthologi- cal play of \u201cPymalion and Galatea,\u201d and last evening the McDowell Comedy Company held their own in its presentation.Mr.McDowell's impersonation of Pygmalion was well taken, and though be 1s seen to better advantage in a lighter character in comedy, he real his lines creditably.Fanny Reaves (Mrs.McDowell) well sustained the roie of \u201cGalatea,\u201d and in the first act as the statue of marble she lopked perfac- tion.Mr.J.Chas Edson deserves praise for bis \u201cLucipre,\u201d and Miss Julia Arthur acted the part of \u201cCynisca\u201d with true dramatic effect, showing her talents to advantage in the emotional pacIages.Mr.Fred Hight as \u201cCryscs,\u201d Mr.Huzh Gibson as \u201cAgesimes,\u201d Mr.An lrew i) son, \u201c#inos;\u201d Miss Florence Vincsnt, \u201cDaphne ;\u201d Miss Helen Morgan as \u201c Myrine,\u201d all 1sndered their several parts in capital etyle.Following the above, \u201cSnowball,\u201d a little three act farce comedy, was given, which kept the audience in roars of laughter.In this pieces Eug.McDowell and Fanny Reeves as Mr.and Mrs.Featheratone resp ctive- ly, added more to the enviable reputation they have earned.Mr.E.Steiner, whose clever acting has won for him a host of admirers in Montreal, impersonated the part of \u201c Uncle John Thornycraft \u201d with his usual cleverness.fhe other members of the cast were \u201c Harry Prender- gast,\u201d Mr.A.Robsin; \u201cSaunders,\u201d Mr.H.Lynn ; \u201cEthel Granger,\u201d Miss Julia Arthur ; \u201c Penelope,\u201d Miss Helen Morgan.The evening's rarformances were given as a testimonial benefit to Fanny Reeves, and we think she will feel gratified at its success.During the first act of \u201c Pygmalion and Galates,\u201d Fanny Reeves was presented with a beautiful basket of flowers.Every lady and gentleman attending was presented with a pleasing photo of Mis.McDowell.Tha success of a two weeks\u2019 engagement leads us to believe that the McDowell Comedy Company are held in high favor by the Montreal public, and their return will be a rleasant event to look forward to.This aicernoon \u201cThe Private Secretary \u201d and this evening \u201cThe Shaughraun\u201d will be presented.CONCERT AT ST.MARKS.The grand annual concert, held under the auspices of St.Mark\u2019s Church Young People\u2019s association, came off very successfully last night.The lecture hall of tbe church was completely filled.Rav.John Nichols, pastor of the church, was in the chair.The programme consisted of vocal and instrumental music, and was well rendered.Mr.Cooke gave some geod readings and the concertina playing by Mr.J.Aspinall was very good, especially his lass piece, \u201c Church Bells.\u201d Mr.J.Venuables and Mre.Lane sang very acceptably.The Misses Myers and Michand performed very craditably on the piano, and Mr.A.McAilister's flute playing was good.An address was delivered during the evening by Rev.J.Ker, B.D, Miss Myers presided at the piano (a Knabe Concert Grand, loaned by Willis & Co.) during the porformance of the programme.At tbe close the chairman expressed gratitude for the large attendance, and the performers received the thanks of the audience.VICTORIA ARMORY ENTERTAINMENT.The entertainment given under the auspices of the Scotch sozieties of Montreal last evening in the Victoria Rifles Armory passed off very successfully.A large audience was present, and they greatly enjoyed the capital programme rendered.Amongst those who contributed towards the evening\u2019s entertain ment were Messrs.J.R Bain, 3 Ander son, Wm.Millar, R.Walker and A.Mil lar.Mlle.Tessier was warmly applauded for her rendering of the songs \u201cWha Fond Hope\u201d and \u201cLittle Birds,\u201d cncores being demanded in each case.\u2014_\u2014 .A SADLY AFFLICTED FAMILY.Six Deaths in Two Weeks.ZANESVILLE, Ohio, March

Man., March 7\u2014A deputation of citizens waited on the Government this afternoon asking for aid for a permauent exhibition in this city, and Were severely set upon, members of the Cabinet declaring that an exhibition was not wanted.Mr.Martin, Attorney- General, declared that members of the legislature were not favorable to ex hibitions and the deputation was dismis- ged.The deputation does not choose to accept the Attorney-General\u2019s starament, however, and intends canvassing members of the Legislature.They will lay this scheme before the Agricultural committee.McCullough of Winnipeg, won the skating championship of Manitoba, in the provincial contest at Brandon yesterday.The Grand Lodge of Orangemen, in session last night, passed a resolution endorsing Dalton McCarthy and the system of national schools.The resolution was as follows : Resolved, that we, delegates to the Grand Orange Lodge of Manitoba and the Northwest tarritories, now in session, do fully endorse the course pursued by Mr.Dalton McCarthy, M, P., for North Simcoe, in his efforts in the Dominion Parliament to abolish the official use of the dual language in the Northwest Territories, and also the action of the Provincial Legislature of Manitoba in abolishing the official use of the French language in this province, and that our sympathies are with them in their efforts to abolish separate schools, and that a copy of this resolution be seut to Mr.McCarthy and to the English speaking Dominion Parliament representatives who hold seats from Manitoba and the Northwest.At the election to fill the vacancy in Ward 8 for the Council to-day, Ald.Calla- way was re-elected, only two votes being cast for his opponent.In the Legislature this afternoon, Mr.Smart, Minister of Public Works, continued the debate

formerly resided at the Balmoral Hotel, Montreal, but now residing at 309 Macomb street, Detroit, Mich., was a constant sufferer for years from a Nervous Difficulty and Disease of the Liver.Ile was treated in Ottawa, Montreal and Detroit by leading general practitioners before applying to us.The physicians who had treated him were not specialists in the treatment of his complaints, and they failed to render him the least particle of permanent relief.He wasrecommended to consuit us, and did so.As diseases peculiar to men [and women) and Diseases of the Liver were, and are, treated as

wholesale hardware merchant, who died suddenly while attending maes in St.James church in January last.It appears that a few days after the funeral some relatives of the deceased visited the vault at the cemetery and found that the coffin was resting on its eide and on being opened, the state of the body induced them to believe that tha deceased was in a trance when placed init.Mr.C.H.Letourneux, brotiiar of the deceased, was interviewed yesterday and said he had heard of the rumor, and that two days after his brother had been laid out, he bimself was still in doubt whether he was really dead.Dr.Mount was cali- ed in and after examination announced that there could be no doubt of his death.As a matter of precaution the body was allowed to remain two days in thie chapel of the cemetery before being taken into the vault.Durring that time the coffin was often visited, and five days after death it was opened and then, by the decomposition which had set in, unmis- takle proof of death was shown.ee 5 Cents The Recognized Standard of Purity and Excellence, \u2018\u201c Cable,\u201d \u201c Mungo,\u201d \u201c El Padra,\u201d and \u201c Madre E.Hijo\u201d cigars.Millions of each brand

Record\u2014Wanted by Deserted Brides.MINNEAPoLIS, Minn, March 4.\u2014Shady proceedings in the life of Charles W.Sterling, alias W.Fletcher, an actor of some little note and a citizen of the world, more particularly of Chicago, MIlwaukee, and Minneapolis, have just come to light in this city.In the fall of 1888 Sterling, who was playing at the Pence Opera-House, wedded a Miss Frances Roach, a waitress in one of the botels in Minneapolis.The Rev.George W.Miller, of Centenary Methodist Church, performed the ceremony.It was Nov.12th of that year.Soon after lie began paying attention to a Mrs.E.G.Mears, a young widow here, representing himself to be a single man.Jan.21 of the next year he took out a license at the District Court in the name of Charles Sterling, and the two were married by tbe Rev.R.N, McKaig, then of the Hennepin Avenue M.E.Church, A curious feature of this event was that the groom gladdened the heart of the divine with a $20 check, which on presentation proved to be of no value.But the two were out of the city before that time, and were next located in Milwaukee at a boarding house at No.523 Milwaukee street.Here Sterling soon tired of wife No.2, and skipped off to Chicago, where he began to play parts in a bon-ton theatre under the name of Charles W.Fletcher.He boarded at the Ogden House, and it was only a few weeks after his arrival in the city that he gained the affections of a chambermaid named Helen Walter.Late in February of 1889 he married her.She in turn was deserted, and Fletcher left for parts unknown.All of the wives have been industrious in getting some clews as to his whereabouts, and it was through the police of the various cities that they became known to each other, and these facts came ont.Mrs.Mears, wife No.2, says that he is now serving a term in the Ohio penitentiary for a similar offense in that State.She says that he has not lesa than eight wives in various portions of the country.Fletcher, or Bterling, was a prepossessing fellow who had seen much of the world, and was about 40 years of age.ee For firet-class dyeing and cleaning try the Empire Dye Works, 2} Phillips\u2019 square.Parcels collected and

Royal Rifles appeared yesterday before Judge Desnoyers on the charge of having sold his uniform.The learned judge sentenced the prisoner to two years in the penitentiary.The sentence at first sight may look severe, but the law on the subject is also very strong.It says that any member of the militia who should sell, or dispose of, or attempt to sell, dispose of or make away with a military uniform is liable to an imprisonment in the penitentiary for a number of years, not exceeding seven.It has been reported to the military authorities that several members of city battalions had committed similar offences.Detectives have the matter in hand, and more arrests are expected to follow.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 Smoke Hand-Made Cigar, Nectar, 5 Cents, | \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 SPECIAL CROP REPORTA Touch of Winter, the Effects of which Are not Apparent\u2014Bad Roads have Prevented n Free Movement of Grain \u2014A Crop problem Which Confrouts to Farmer.[Special to the N.Y.Journal of Commerce.) Cnrcacn, March 4.\u2014the country during the last ten days, and particularly since the opening of the present month, has bad a good deal of winter.It came at a time when we did not need it, for everything in the growing world was in a very advanced condition.This was particu- lary the case with the early fruit crop cn the Ohio River, where considerable damage resulted.On Friday last we had the most severe freezo of the whole year, and my reports show that wheat was damaged, but to what extent it is impose sible to say until we have mild weather again.On Monday the mercury was rapidly rising, but during the night a sudden chauge took place and to-day all over the winter wheat belt the weather 18 again very trying.I know this season of the year we always have \u201c crop scares,\u201d but I simply propose to report the facts as they come to me, which I know are reliable, and the people can draw their own inferences.We have bad an abnormal growth of the winter wheat, and in fact, a growth which has never been checxed during the whole winter until recently, and the point which the present cold weather will determine is whether or not the plants are able to withstand such radical changes as they are now being subjected to.I wait, therefore, with more than usual anxiety the developments of the present week.There is still a universal complaint about the bad condition of country roads, operating as it does so much against the collections in the interior.Farmers have been advised all winter to hold their corn; they have held it whether they would or not, and the consequence is that there has never been, since the crop was gathered, so great a des\u2019're among the farmers to get rid of their surplus corn as thers is to-day.Our railroads, particularly in Illinois and Iowa, will haye all they can do during March to handle corn, if we have good roads.So far as Spring prospects are concerned we ougbt to be able to get to work just as soon as the weather moderates, for the reason that, with the excep- iicn of the Northwest, we have no snow to contend with, and only frost of recent date in the winter wheat belt, The low prices of farm produce have certainly awakened the farmers to their economic condition, and they begin to realize more than they ever have done that they must plant other crops.I look for a very decided change with regard to the acreage of corn, spring wheat and oats which is to go in during the next sixty days There is that which may cut some fi fo In Spring prospects this season as compared with the preceding spring, which Was, comparatively speaking dry, and we were needing moisture all ; site.moisture, and, with the Minnesota and (Dakota, there are no ates in the Northwest stand in need of rain, or Southwest that Norrawest.Smoke Hand-Mads Cigar, Children Crv for n\u2014 Pitcher\u2019s Castoria, ERCIAL GAZETTE.SA NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.\u201cTRUTH\u201d Bible Competition | NO 20.An Immense List of Rewards.An unusual interest was taken in the last TRUTH Competition, and at the urgent request of many, the publisher offers one more.The jist of rewards is very large and the prizes valuable.They are so arranged that even if you do not see this notice on its first appearance, you have as good an opportunity for winning a reward as if you had, provided always that your answers are correct.Do not delay, however, any longer than you can possibly help.The questionsare as follows : Wherein the Bible are the following words first found : 1, WINGS ;

of its public attractions.On Monday afternoon the admirers of the late Robert Browning and the present Mrs.Sarah Cowell Le Moyne, paid court to both by filling the auditorium of the Lyceum Theatre to listen to Mrs.Le Moyne'g reading cf the dead poet's dramatic potm \u2018In a Balcon:.\u201d Ofthe three characters, Norbert, Constance and the Queen, the elocutionist makes Constance the heroine, and gives the idea that this young woman, though much in love with Norbert, has a hazy luca regarding the expression of ber passion.Lue Queen is also in love with Lim, bus through Norbert\u2019s awkward manner, the climax of the tragedy is reached.The Queen's coniession to Conatance wus eplerdidly rendered by Mre.Le Noyne, being in truth dramatic in the powerful sense of this much mis-used term.No reader now before the American public could have so well delivered Browuing's linee.Her voize is remaræ- ably strong and flexible, and of a most delightful quality.Next Monday \u201cAndrea del Sarto\u201d will be read.No one who has a taste for fine pcetry, whether Le know Browning or not, sliould fail, if in our midst, to Lear Mrs.Le Moyne.SALVINI is again at Palmer's theatre, and is act- icg Samson in the Italian tragedy fcunded on the story of the Judge of Zorah, in the Book of Judges.The great actor makes the same trinmph.His exquisitely melodious voice, Bo rich, so deep, so expressive, and without the slightest tinge of wear, is enough to charm one, The same magnificent stage mounting is again in use, and the historically picturesque costumes are none fhe worse for wear.Miss May Bicoklyn is Delilah, and though far removed from tte artist who grandly interprets Signor d\u2019Asti\u2019's play, does much acceptable werk, and receives well- earned applause.To night Salvini will appear in \u201cThe Gladiator,\u201d once the great role of thie late Edwin Forest.MES.PEMBERTON-HINCKS' cencert on March 3rd, at Chickering Hall, uncer the management of Mr, J.H.Al- juente, was the musical event of the Lenten season thus far; it was a success art'stically, financially, and socially.The lady patrons, headed by Mrs.Grover Cleveland, included fifty names of representative society people, and this array did much to fill the treasury.Mrs.Femberton-Hincks was assisted by Miss Bertha Pemberton, pianiste, Mr.Chas.Mancury, (of the Grand opera of Paris) baritone, Mr.Theo.Bjorksten, tenor, Mr.Henri Joubert, violinist, (concerts-meis- ter Metropolitan opera orchestra) and Mr.P.F.Campiglio, organist, and accompanist.The programme opening with piano solo from Chopin was delightfully interpreted by Miss Bertha Pemberton; next came two tongs, well rendered by the tenor, and then Mrs.Pemberton-Hincks made her appearance.She sang with considerable skill, Gounod\u2019s * Valse de Faust.\u201d This entirely took her brilliant and fashionable audience.The handsome Creole\u2019s rendering of * Gallia\u201d (Gounod,) with piano and organ was dore in grand style, and secured two encores.The graceful lady has ths power of making friends with her entire audience, and during the time that sha ison the stage of making them feel Ler magnetism.She has very much iroproved in voice and in heaith, and deserves to be as popular as she ie.The lady\u2019s floral gifts made a young flower- show, and then Mrs.Pemberton-Hincks so sweetly receives them.Mr.Chas.Mancury is the firest baritone we have heard at Chickering Hall in a long time.Mr.Henri Joubert, the violinist, played with the grace and feeling of a Sarasate.Two hours could not bave been more pleasantly spent than were those of Monday last.M.VLADIMIR DE PACHMAXY, the distinguished Russian virtuoso, has been engaged by the Messrs.Chickering for a series of twenty-five performances only, commencing in New York, April 7, prox., and these are to be devoted exclusively to the exposition of Chopin\u2019 master-worke, in the rendering cf which M.de Pachmann, in the opinion of the foremost critics of England, France, Germany and Russia, is absolutely unrivaled.Mr.dew Pachmann will be heard in a few of the priccipal cities, Montreal being included.The Chopin Cycluses of New York and Boston will include three recitals and one concert with orchestra.The Messra.Chickering think that the enormous popularity of Chopin's music, its worth as an educational factor, and the undisputed rank of Mr, de Pachmann as a Chopin interpreter and expounder, justify the belief that these recitals and concerts will find immediate favor.THE AMERICAN ART GALLERIES have bad on exhibition for the last fori- night, a beautiful collection of paintings, works by the most eminent modern ainters of the world, and owned by essrs.Walter Bower, Wm.H.Shaw, Wm.T.Evans and the late Bernhard Stern.Of the two hundred and twenty pictures, one could not honestly say that there was a poor canvas amonz them.To the lover of art, of fine art as represented on canvas, this has indeed been a treat.Montreal, I am sure, has been made acquainted with the fact, for the Province of Quebec contains many gems purchased at the different art sales in this city, The cata\u2019ogre gotten up by the Ameri- Can Art Association is unique.The col- leciion of each man above named is by its If.Mr.Bower in delicate canary, M:ssrs.Evans and Stern in pale laven- de, and Mr.Shaw\u2019s in tender pink; the whole covered with blue gray parchment fied with a silken cord of golden hue.Thig little book contairing biographical notes of the great artists represented, also some description of the more important canvasses exhibited, makes the catalogue a valuable addition to one\u2019s educational library.Time nor space does not allow a description of the pictures, Suffice it to say thaf the Lenten season has heretofore been a profitable ono for the sale of fine pictures, and there is not the slightest reason why the season of 1890 £ heuld prove an exception tothe rule.EARLY SPRING FASHIONS.The short cape so greatly favored dru- \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ing the winter as a short top-garment the most admireq n adjunct to long or 8 poids fair to become t Ted of spring wraps.There is no lack of diversity in ets les 5 suit all tastes and figures, smooth effects being provided for broad, rull shoulders, and fulness for the more slender.Whether composed of one section or of gaveral these capes are very picturesque, impart- 1g & quaint and pretty air to the wearer, besides yielding the necessary warmth.A toilette completed by one of these capes is the latest and most correct style for visiting or promenading.Combinations may be successfully developed in most of the shapes offered, and effective garnitures may be added, though their omission will not detract from the good style.DECORATIONS FOR CAPES, The Irish peasant cape consists of three sections graded in depth, the fullness of the upper and lower sections being regulated by shirrings at the neck, while the middle section is sewed flatly to the lower section.Dark-brown braid in mode cloth, arranged in a coil design, stylishly follows all the free edges of the cape sections; and the collar, which is of approved height, is decorated to harmonize with the sections, One of the newest and prettiest fashions for spring is THE ENGLISH CAPE.One shown me was developed in seal- brown cloth and decorated with a fancy cord ornament.It consists of two cape sections of rounding, lower outline fashioned to fit easily at the back and over the shoulders without seams or darts.The right ends of the cape sections are widened to overlap the left ends nearly to the left shoulder, where they ara disposed by four upward turning pleats and fas'ened with hooks and loops.At the left ends the cape sections ars joined together and raised slightly by an upward- turning plait, and a small fancy cord ornament is placed over the closing, with stylish effect.At the neck is a collar that stands high at the back and sides, aud is reversed in points at the throat.The cape is lined throughout with lining silk matching the clotb.Smooth-faced cloths in all the fashionable shades and dark velvet are equally adaptable to the mode, and a plain finish is most popular.The cape sections will sometimes be trimmed with fancy braids, cords or drap trimmings, and a fancy metal clasp may be substituted for the cord ornament.THE REEFER JACKET may be made of army-blue cloth and trimmed with buttons.The loosely- fitting fronts are closed in double-brezst- ed style with button-holes and brass buttons, and a row of buttons is placed on the overlapping front to emphasize the double-breast effect.In a curved opening cut in the lower part of each front is inserted a convenient pocket, and the edges of the opening are outlined with double rows cf stitching, a piping of the material being inserted in the seam.The lower outline is rounded at the front and back and arched slightly over the hips.The sleeves are in shapely coat-sleeve style.A rolling c.l- lar is turned from the upper edges of a standing collar at the neck, and its ends flare sharply above the closing.The simplicity of the garment does not detract from its stylish appearance.A serviceable and trim little jacket for carriage and street wear, may be made of lady\u2019s-cloth, serge, camels bair, broadcloth, etc.The rolling collar may be of velvet, and all the free edges of the garment may be outlined with stitching, a plain finish being best suited to the style.A NEW SPRING BASQUE, Fancy dress goods and velvet are here united in the basque, and dress goods and buttons provide the decoration.The outside front, which is cut in V shape at the neck, is arranged upon a lining.The exposed part of the lining is faced with velvet, and the closing is made along the left shoulder and under-arm seam with buttons and button holes.An under- front that is hemmed at its front edge and fitted by double bust darts, lies be- reath the outside portions at the left side ; it is attached along the fold of its hem to the outside front lining along its centre with hooks and loops, tha under fronts affording sufficient stay for the parts at the left side.The lower outline is pointed at the cenire of the front, arches well over the hips, and is cut in postillion style at the back, a row of machine stitching following the edge and being continued up the lap.A high standing collar is at the neck, and the fashionable leg-o-mutton gleeves have cach two seams and are gathered at the upper edge.Such a basque may be worn with any kind of walking skirt, and it may either be made of the same color and material or may form a decided contrast, LATEST TRIMMINGS.The girdle, the sash and the rosette are the keynotes of all compositions in trimwing.The half finger ribbon in grosgrain with satin edge is perhaps the favorite, but ribbons of all materials and of all widths, not exceeding four or five inches, are in uee, though the widest is used more sparingly than the narrow.Black velvet ribbon has its time-hon- ored place.Ribbons are run down the sides of the skirts, ending in a loop, or bow, or rosette ; they stripe the bodice lengthwise, or crosswise, or diagonally.Ribbons form breteles over the should- erg, and are used to outline the rointed edge of the bodice, depending in floating loops and ends at the extreme end in front or back from a knot in the manner so common (wo years ago.: The rcsette or small bow may be used instead of the shoulder puff in both long and short sleeves.It nestles in the front of dresses, edges the low neck, attaches flower clusters, closes the back girdles, cr ornaments them at front cr sides.TIE GIRDLES are of all materials, sometimes matching the little jackets or perhaps the simpler trimmings on cuifs and collar, but ofttimes they are of ribbon in plain belts, or drawn in folds, or shaped in points.The girdle pointed in front and straight at the back is pretty.Narrow sashes will have a short bow of two upward loops and two downward ends sitting jauntily at one side of the front.Broad sashes hang in two long ends, with or without & loop ; they have fringed, forked, or slanted ends, and are not necessarily the color of the dress.HOUSE DECORATIONS.According to the Art Ainateur for March, the Colonial and the Empire styles are most in vogue at present.The main difficulty in the former is the introduction of color.Its beauty lies in refin3- ment of its forms, which need white or some shade of white, cream, pale, lavender, or the like, to bring them out Still, color may be introduced, though as a rule, very modestly, in the wall surfaces and panels.With regard to stained glass, Mr.Locke, a pupil of La Farge, says: We copy in glass the Leautiful old fan-light and frame designs of the colonial houses, with the tracing in opalescent glass, the remainder being clear, antique, or cathe- Children Crv for Pitcher\u2019s Castoria.tral glass.The effect

whose beauty has made her famous, and Mr.Fernando Yznaga, the broker, whose coanection with H.B.Hollins & Co.has made him very rich, were wedded to-day.The wedding was a simple one, indeed, owing to the dangerous illness of Mrs.Wright, but for many days to come it will be the talk of every drawing-room in town.The ceremony took place at 5 o'clock in the front drawing-room of No.6 East Thirty-sixth street, where Mr.and Mrs.George Curtis Wright and their daughter have been boarding all winter.Only seven or eight people were asked to the ceremony.Dr.John R.Paxton of the West Forty-second street Presbyterian Church officiated.The bride wore a Redfern traveling dress of smooth, fine, pearl gray cloth embro- dered in silver, and made with a jacket of the same material.A small round hat of gray, touched with white and silver, rested above her closely coiled and braided golden hair, and she carried a bouquet of white orchids and lilies of the valley.Mr.and Mrs.Yznaga will sail to-morrow on the Teutonic to remain abroad six months.Miss Mabel Wright first became prominent in society five seasons ago.She was introduced by Mrs.Grenville Kane and Mrs, Osgood at Newport, and at once became noted as a beauty.Her parents bave no fortune, but come of good New England stock.Mrs.Wright was a Miss Peabody, daughter of a merchant of Lowell, Mass., and is remotely connected with the Lawrences, Abbotts and Wood- burys.During the last winter Miss Wright has gone but little into society owing to her mother\u2019s illness.Her beauty is of the pure Saxon type\u2014blue eyes, yellow hair, and pink and white complexion.She is always exquisitely dressed.Fernando Yznaga is woll known in metropolitan society circles as the hero of an unbappy matrimonial alliance with Miss Smith, a sister of Mrs.W.K.Vanderbilt.This happened some ten years ago, when the young man's social posi- AL GAZWITE SATURDAY.| ranch with ber husband.| MARCH tion was assured from the marriage of bis beautiful sister, Miss Consuelo Yzna- ga, with Lord Mandeville.He is not believed at that time to have had much money, but has since, through fortunate coffee and petroleum speculations, -as- sumed considerable wealth.Shortly after his marriage, ramor had it that the couple were mismated and lived unhappily together.Notwithstanding, they lived together for seven or eight years in a heroic endeavor to agree, but finally formally separated some three years ago.The divorce was attended with no reflecting details of any sort.ro weeks later Mrs.Yzuaga quistly married George Tiffany, formerly quite a noted figure in New York society, who bas since become the manager of W.K.Vanderbilts stock farm at Oakdale, R.I.Personally, the groom is a dark, Landeome, rather poetical looking man in the neighborhood of 35.The Yznagas originally came from Cuba, and the groom's father, who is still living ona plantation of his own in Louisana, was once a wealty sugar trader.The old gentleman has another daughter besides Lady Mandeville, Lady Lister-Kaye, who is living at present on a Western \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Smoke Hand-Made Cigar, Nectar, 5

salary, was not in vain.The jury yesterday gave him a verdict of $275.\u201cGo ahead.We'll count noses, and when you get as many as the other side you'll have to stop.\u2019 It was thus that Judge Baker granted Miller the time to produce witnesses to rebut the the testimony of Capt.Black, A.W.Buckley, H.S.Musgrove, and Edwarl Cray, that a request to dust books was a reasonable one to make of a law clerk.8.8.Gregory, H.8.Robbing, and E.J.Queeney each in turn testified that they would not think of asking their clerks to do such menial work.It should be included in the janitors duties.George I'lummer said it w as the custom among real, bona-fide lawyers to have janitors dust the books © when they are dirty.\u201d \u201cWhat do rou mean by the word * dirty\u201d?\u201d he was asked.\u201cWby, as some lawyers\u2019 minds, through lack of use, become clogged with dust, thus their books, also through lack of use, become covered with dust.Gartside & Leffingwell may employ clerks who prefer cleaning away this dust to bringing lawsuits.If I had such clerks I should also use them as jani- tore.\u201d Messrs.Gartside & Leflingwell did not seem inclined to ask any more questions.The former, however, took the stand in sur-rebuttal and gave evidence to the effect that it took him twelve years to get beyond the book dusting stage.\u2018Wken the jury gave its verdict the defendants, whom the other lawyers in the court seemed inclined to \u201cguy,\u201d hurried away with sheepish smiles, hardly waiting for their attor ey to make a motion {or a new trial.Mr.Miller has taken an advanced stand in the matter.He holds that the poor clerks have been \u201cjumped on\u201d long enough.He said, after his victory : \u201cOf course, there are some lawyers who have attained eminence in their profession who have in their earlier days dusted books.But they were foolisb.Itshowsthey had no respect for their position ; they hadn\u2019t the dignity that every graduate of a law school should have.They literally trailed their learning in the dust, and clerks who have an idea of the exalted position they hold can aflord to look down on them in silent contempt.\u201d \u201c Personally,\u201d said W.8, Forrest, \u201cI confess, in all due humility, that I have at times dusted books.I realize now that it was a great mistake and has done much to hinder my advancement in the legal profession.I have lost many a good client on account of this early indiscretion.A man comes into my office and asks: \u2018\u201c Did you ever dust law books °° ¢ «1 did,\u2019 I say with sorrow.\u201c Then he walked out.\u201d R.W.Morrison, with Dexter, I{errick & Allen, bowed his head in shame when he was asked if he bad ever dusted books.\u201cI have,\u201d he admitted, \u201c but I wish you would say for me that I believed it was entirely respectable.I thought it would rot be beneath my dignity to do anything that an Admiral of the English navy had done.You remember the song : \u201cWhen I was a lad I served a term As office boy to an attorney\u2019s firm.I cleaned the windows and swept the floor, And I polished up the handle of the big front door.I polished up the handle so carefully, That now I am the ruler of the Queen's navee.\u201c You see, as a matter of fact, I sort of thought I might become an Admiral, but on considering the lines more deeply I discovered there was nothing in the lines about dusting law books.That evidently accounts for my not being an Admiral.Siill, I think if a man dusts the books well and attends to his other duties conscientiously he may become a lawyer in time.\u201d James M.Flower, of Flower, Smith & Musgrave, was duly humiliated when he admitted that he had once dusted books.\u201cBut I have a worse confession than that to make,\u201d he said, as he bowed his head in grief.\u201cI once blacked boots.Of course it has been a great drawback to me in my law business.I was foolish at that time and only thought of how to support myself.I presume I have lost a great deal of business on account of this foolishness.\u201d James S.Harlan, of Gregory, Booth & Harlan, begged to be excused.* You see,\u201d he said apologetically, \u201c I have just finished dusting off the books.When a man takes a book out of the library to look up a reference he generally has to dust it off.I would suggest that a good way out of the difficulty would be to request the law clerk to look up a little matter in each book.That would be legal business and would also necessitate the dusting of the books.\u201d \u201cI have dusted books,\u201d said Edwin Walker.\"I don\u2019t know how it happened, but I did do it.Of course it was unfortunate, but I didn\u2019t know any better at the time.I think I have dusted a book now and then recently when I wanted to look up an authority.\u201d So it seems that Mr, Miller is in advance of the procession and is working zealously for the amelioration of the condition of lawyers\u2019 clerks.If some of the prominent lawyers of to-day had known this earlier they probably would never bave dusted a law book.As it is nearly all of them have done it at some time in their lives.\u2014 **

Orrawa, March 7.The Railway Committee met this this morning but did little work.sir Hector was in the chair, and the consideration of the first bill which he read from the orders of the day was postponed.This was not very unusua', but when one after the other the consiiera- tions were postponed until ten out of the fourteen orders fared alike, it became a question as to whether any business would be done at all.Tho chairman announced that after to-day all bills, the promoters of which were not ready when called on, would be ruled off the paper.Mr.Bryson, sponsor for the Pontiac Pacific Junction Railway Company\u2019s bill, said the bill was much the same as that passed in committee a few days ago (the Inter-Provincial Bridge Act), and during the illness of the Secretary of State he could not communicate with the Company; he thorefore did not know their wishes.If the bill was proceeded with the county council wished to insert a clause which could not be here until the 18th.He asked that tie bill bs put away until that day.The request was granted.A long discussion arose over Chambly Manufacturing (Jos ast of incorporation.Sir Adolphe Caron raising the storm by objecting that the proper committee to consider this biil was the private bills committee.Sir Hector ruled that Parliament had sent the bill to the committee and the committee must decide by its decree.The committee agreed and the report was adopted.Sit Donald Smith criticised the Sault St.Marie and Atlantic Railway Company\u2019s bill which proposes to cross Labrador to Hamilton iulet, by remarking that be thought one charter for a Labrador railway was enough in one session.It would take all the trafic for years.Mr.Edgar\u2014It is free trade in railways.Mr.Daly said it was a very wild scheme, and Sir Donald wound up with \u201cIt prevents us getting mouey for legitimate schemes,\u201d Hon.Mr.Mitchell joined in the discussion,-and made a strong argumeant for the reconsideration of the

thought the nays had it.\u201c Countthem \u201d The clerk was called and the vote taken in orthodox form, resulting in a victory for Mr.Mitchell by twenty-five to twenty-one.Then there was another b'g kick when Mr, Mitchell moved the adjournment of the debate until next session.This, of course, meant a practical defeat of the bill, and in the discussion which followed one of the speakers said Mr.Mitchell had taken advantage of the fact that several members who were in favor of the bill had left the room to move a motion for its adjournment.For this he got it pretty hot from the member for Northumberland.He pointed out that one of the promoters had said the country through which they proposed to go wanted exploring.\u201cWell, all right,\u201d said Mr.Mitchell.\u201cWe'll give you time \u2014we'll give you twelve months.\u201d Mr.Langelier (Quebec) followed, and made a good deal of fun as he spoke of this and other wild-cat schemes.In the middle of cries of \u201cquestion,\u201d \u201cvote,\u201d \u201corder\u201d \u201corder\u201d \u201corner\u201d\u2019 Mr.Small raised his voice to say that Sir Donald Smith had asked a question aad should be answered.Mr.David Blain got up to answer the question, but had not gone far when Dr.Ferguson shouted, \u201cstick to the question,\u201d and there was apother rumpus.Clarke \u2018Wallace was going to give some information about the various ports, inlets, ete, under dispute when someone said \u201cwhen were you there,\u201d \u201cnever\u201d said Me, Wallace and he changed the subject.Again came the order for yeas and nays, but

NATIONAL.At the meeting of this club last evening, an address was delivered by Mr.P.M.Sauville, Montreal editor of L\u2019Efecteur, on the French language in civilization.He stated that the principal founders of the French language could be looked for as far back as the 9th century, anl that the foundation of the French language of our days could be found in Lamartine, Musset, and Hugo.Lacordaire and Gam- betta, had also been two strong pillars of the French language iu Earopa.Referring to this Canada of ours, Mr.Sau- ville mentioned the names of Cartier, Papineau, Morin, Dorion, and Lafontaine.Those men, said the speaker, had fought for our rights, and if to- lay ths French Canadians held their own it was due to their efforts.In concluding his ad iress, the speaker said that he hoped tha\u2018 in this country the French lanuage would exist for ever.On motion of Mr.J.NX, Perrault ths thanks of the Club were teuderel to Mr.Sauville for bis able and interesting address.A large number of ladies were present.At the next meeting of the Club, which will be held next Friday night, the subject of discussion will be On the real causes of the French Canadian immigration to the United States.\u201d .\u2014\u2014 Lock for the \u2018\u2019 KICKERS.\u201d ce THE SCOTTISH BARD.Mr Bain Rends an Paper on Robert Burns.The third of à series of lectures, under the auspices of the Caledonian Society, was delivered in St.Andrew\u2019s Home last evening.The president, Mr.Wm, Rutherford, presided and introduced the lecturer, Mr.8.S.Bain, who took as his subject Robert Burns.The lecturer began by depicting the early wanderings and misfortunes of the poet\u2019 father, his disappointments and discouragements, against all of which he fought manfully for the purpose of keeping his family under his eve.The puet\u2019s early days were next spoken of, and later on his associations with the gay and thoughtless, and how he learned to empty hisglass and indulge in things other than we would have wished our Scottish poet to indulge in, and how in his reflective seasons he con- fested that he did wrong.After referring to the poet's tirst rhyme, Mr.Bain said it was not one of his biggest faults that he loved too much and too many; indeed, to such an extent waa this carriad, that he could scarcely look upon à beautiful face or hear the sweet sound of a woman\u2019s voice, but that his muse flowed forth freely as the mountain scraam.Troly 1t must be said he was tne chil! of wany loves, and through this cause wo have his tender love sougs which raa-h and touch the hearts of humanity with a power and teuderuess whien is not surpassed in any lanzuaze.Bsttzr would it be for Scotland and Barns had hig love ever heen of a pure aad nadie character.His love for Mary gives an illustration of how he tried to connact bis love on earth with ths powers abova, imploring heavenly protection anid blessirg upon the object of his affection.The light of this woman's love came to him in a dark and gloowy moment, at the time when he had made up his mind to leave his much loved Scotland through a love less pure and less dignifiei.Bat the love of Mary Campbell coming in at such a moment saved him from a fate which gathered around him.Burns was often accused of disloyalty to his country and its crown.Troe itis he inherited from his forefathers the spirit of the Jacobites and sometimes his affections went out in the same undaunted way.But whether he loved the power that reigned or not, ona thing is certain\u2014no ona can truthfully accuse him of not loving Scotland.For the mind that thought and the hand that wrote the last two verses of the Cottar\u2019s Saturday -Night, giving to Sco:- land one of the grandest legacies in poety, must have been a heart loyal to the core and a heart that would willingly wield the sword in the defence of right.The lecturer said that it was well to look at Robert Burns with an impartial eye, to look at the dark side of his life and character, as well as the bright and wonderful, that we may learn a lesson from both; that we may be warned and admonished by the one, and encouraged and elevated by the other.It is often said in excuse for his faults that circumstances had a great deal to do with it.True, he was unsuccessful in a financial view, and through it he had to experience the hardships of toil.The lecturer deplored the fact that a love begotten by bad company and through the power of strcng drink, had dragged him very low.Surely every man who loves his country and Burns can only curse the power which robbed us too soon of a gem so bright and precious.Mr.Bain closed by saying that the best monument we can raise to his memory is to follow fully the teachings contained in his Cottar\u2019s Saturday Night, and help to raise the name of Scotland to a higher glory than it has yet attained.At the close of the lecture the chairman inyited those present to pass their opinion on the paper, and Messrs.Adam Anderson, A.B.Stewart, W.W.Robertson and E.Bain took occasion to refer to the life work and character of Burns.The lecturer was accorded a vote of thanks for his paper.\u2014\u2014\u2014 MARINE

AB.TT.Proposal to Censure Ald.Stephans Not Carried Out.A special meeting of the City Coaa:il was held yesterday afternoon to receive and reconsider the raport of the special committee on salaries.Those present were Mayor Grenier, Aldermen J.B.R.Dufresne, Wm.Kennedy, Shorey, La- marche, Griffin, Brunet, Stephens, Thompson, Perreault, Cunningham, Hamelin, Tansey, Martineau, Wilson, Savignac, Clendinneng, Gauthier, Malone, Rolland, Boisseau, Conroy, A.Dabuc, Rainville, P.Dubuc, Villeneuve, P.Kennedy, Prefontaine, Germain, Robert, Stephenson, McBride and Farrell.The regular business was destined to take a back seat as the Mayor had a communication which he wished to read to the Council, wnich was as follows: QUEBEC, March 4, 1890.Jacques Grenier, Mayor of Montreal : Sir \u2014The Hon.Mr.Gilman to-day informs me that he is in receipt from Ald.G.W.Stephens of several proposed amendments to ba oficrei bafore the Legislative Council to the bill of the city w hich has passed the Lagislative Assembly.I understand, first, that!these have not been submittsd to the City Council or the municipal authorities; and, second, that they might have been submitted before the private bills committee of our Assembly.Last year, when the city was consolidating its charter, amendments were proposed in the Council by the same aldermen, and your City Attorney knows that it was only with the greatest difficulty and after spending a great deal of time about them, and in obtaining some sort of consent from you, that I got these amendments through our House and the bill passed.If, therefore, amendments are proposed in the Legislative Council by aldermen of the city, in justice to myself I must ask you to request some one else to look after them in this House when the bill comes back from the Council, as I cannot undertake it, or assume any responsibility about the bill passing.Yours traly, Joux S.Haut, Jr.The Mayor said that Ald.Stephens had made some amendments to the city charter, and held that such should have been submitted to the Council in the regular way before being sent to Quebec.He considered that Ald.Stephens had taken liberties which should not be permitted in the Council.In order to bring the offending alderman to time, it was moved by Ald.Rolland, seconded by Ald.Wilson, \u2018 That the Council has learned with surprise that one of its aldermen has taken upon himself to place in the hands of an honorable member of the Legislative Council certain amendments to the city bill without the knowledge of his colleagues ; that such à proceeding cannot but be considered a transgression of the rights and privileges of this Council, who in their capacity as representatives ot the citizens of the city of Mon'real bave, after mature deliberation, determined what modifications should bs asked from the Legislatare; that these modifications having been adopted by the House of Assembly this Council desire to express their most earnest protest againt any attempt having for its object to change the bill as now submit ted to the legislative Council.\u201d Ald Stephens rece slowly and deliber- ataly from his seat, like a man who had to vindicate his honor, and knew moreover that he could do so.He said the men who went to Quebec and allowed the bill to be changed were greater culprits than he was.He admitted that he put in a clause in tha city\u2019s bill in reference to aldermen\u2019s qualifications.He took that liberty as a private citiz:n and did his best to got the ameadment passed.The amendments he made, he said, were in the interests of the city.Mayor\u2014\u201c Why did not you submit them to the Council ?\u201d Ald.Stephens replied that he was not the only offender, and expressed surprise at the mayor pitching into the minnow when there ig a whale in the matter.Ald, Prefoutaine took the floor, saying that he supposed he had become interested in the discussion.A voice\u2014'* Are you the whale ?\u201d Ald.lrefontainae continued his address and made scme serious charges.Having been at Quebec in the interests of the proposed gas company, he held that the present two monopolies in Moatreal\u2014the Gas Company and the Street Railway Company\u2014are admitted to be the worat èver imposed on any city.He said that the Mayor and saveral others were instrumental in keeping these monopolies fastened on the city.When the citizens had a chance to be relieved from them, the mayor and aldermen are found at Quebec using their utmost ea- deavors to retain them.He was in favor of the idea of allowing foreign capital to establish works in our city.Men will cry out against monopolies, but will not risk any money in order to relieve themselves of ther, and when men come and propose to do s0 for them they oppose.He said that he acted in his capacity es a lawyer for the promots.s of the Gas Company, and if they had put up as much money as the Montreal Gas Company, the bill would not bave been defeated.When he made such a statement, he said he knew what he was talking about.He asserted that the mayor was led away by Mr.Joseph, and the City Attorney did not act in the city\u2019s interest in opposing the bill.He said it would be seen whether those public spirited citizens who opposed the Gas Bill would put their hands in their own pockets and enable the poor men in the suburbs to get cheap gas.The Mayor said he bad spoken against the bill, but Mr.Roy did not, aud he denied that he was approached by anybody in the matter.He admitted that the city was not pleased with the present Gas Cowpany, and hoped that our city capitalists would undertake the work which had been denied to outsiders.Mr.Van Slootan, one of the leadin promoters of the Gas bill, spant $10,000, and people who knew Mr, Jcseph\u2019s genorosity knew how much he would spend.The mayor claimed he had done his duty fairly.Ald.Prefontaine called on the mayor to carry out the by-laws in reference to the Gas Company and Street Railway Company, and it would be seen whether tl ey were sincera in opposing the bill.Ald.Stephens then made some more remarks about the formation of the present Gas Company aud stated that Ald.Prefontaine opposed it then.He said the Gas Company offered to supply the d i pi gas at $l per one thousan Put el pos Rainville\u2014\u201c thing Slt that contract and know that they i uch.; did mot ot Ald.Stephens said there ngbt to be a resolution passed asking the backwoods members of the Loca Legislature to leave alone the city § bus\u2019: ness, about which they knew not ing, with the promise on the part of tha \u20ac ty that it will not interfere in their cons He Prefontalne said an alderman had made a statement that the proposed Gas Company asked for a 25 years\u2019 monopo y and to charge $1 35 per 1,600 feet, whict was false.It is weil known, he said, that S135 is the highest fizure they were to ba allowed to char.Hs gaid that people, wheu they g9 into a speculation, expat some returas it is well known that Ald.Stepheas mé not go into any speculation without expecting some returas.Ald.Prefou- taine claimed ho was working in the city\u2019s interests.The only time, he claimed, that the city got justice from one of the monopolies\u2014the Street Rail- way\u2014 was when the Road Committee, of which he is chairman, beat the company on the question of paving between the rails, and that action was taken in opposition to the advice of the City Attorney.Ald.Wilson explained why he had seconded the motion of censure on Ald.Stephens.Ald Stevenson objected to anybrdy being condemned before there had been an indictment found against him.He thought the motion made by All.Rok land should be withdrawn.Mayor\u2014\u201cI hope not.\u201d , Ald.Stevenson continuel to mixe some remarks in support of his stats- ment.The Mayor asked him ; \u201cDo you want the bill to pass ?\u201d i Ald.Stevenson\u2014*Yes, but that mtioa won't help it.\u201d .Aldermen Cunningham and Clendin- neng called on Ald.Stephens to inform the Council what his amendments wera.He promised to do so, but the debate went went on while he was looking for his amendments.Ald.Clendinneng claimed that there was a principle at stake, and aldermen should not go to the Legislature and make amendments to the city\u2019s bill without the consent of Council.He moved \u201cThat when the council has prepared ap- vlications for amendments or admissions to its charter, and sent the same to the Legislature for ils saction, it does not consider that any member of the council should, of his own accord, without the knowledge or consent of the council, intrigue or defeat such against the express wish of the council.\u201d The mayor said the motion would be useless, unless Ald.Stephens would promise to write to Mr, Hall and with: draw his amendments.The alderman in question having already given his promise, he stated that he did not want to have to rapaat his promises so often.Ald.Clendinneng withdrew his motion and the following one was made.Ald.Prefontaine moved, secouded by Ald.Stephenson, \u201cthat this Council, aftar having taken communication of the bill amending the charter of the city of Mont real passad hy the House of Assembly, desire to approve of iis dispositions, and humbly present to the honorable Legislative Council that said bill is the expression of the wishes of the majority of members of the Council, and respectfully beg that it should be passed inits integrity, as it is, without listening to private suggestions made by either aldermen or other persons.\u201d The motion was carried, thus concluding the debate.The regular business of the day then came up.The clerk read the report of the private committee an salaries, and Ald.Perreault moved its adoption.Auo- ther motion was made to take the report up and discuss it in sections.At this point Ald, Stephens took a good many by surprise by moving the ai- Journment of the Couacil.After proviag that Le could speak ou the motion, he Said the gratitude of the council was due to the Salaries Committee for the efficient way in which they have fulfilled their duties.He said that many have sean the report fcr the first time and it would be only reasonable to ask that somo time be given to consider it.He announced that at the regular meeting of Cuuacil où Moaday be would move that a apecial meeting of Council be held on Wedies- day to discuss the Salaries Committee's report.His motion was unanimously carried and the Council adjourned, \u2014_ TALK TO THE WORKINGMEN.Last evening Ald.Wm.Clendinneng gave what he called a talk to the mechanics of the East End, in St.Thomas Church.The pastor, Rev, Mr, Lindsay, occupied the chair, The speaker treated on the rights of the industrial classes, and in the course of his address remarked that the large employers of labor should be forced to provide healthy places for their operatives.He also advocated shortening the hours of labor, It was advisable, he also remarked, that better hours should We fixed for women and children who are under the painful necessity of earning their living.A good employee, said the Speaker, should keep free from politics and designing adventurera.Employees, 88 arule, did not know how well they wore watched by their employers.Ald, Clendinneng Suggested that the public schools should open their doors to the children of our working people, So that the country would get the benefit of its best minds.It had been noticed in Great Britain, and in Canada also, that the sons of poor workingmen made the most successful and intelligent men.He spoke at great leagth on this phase of his subject, and hoped that his ideas had teen well understogd by all

Animals Cat Up Into Sausage Meat In Berlin And Shipped to the English Capital.[New York World.] The recent expose in the Police court that several London pork-butchers have been for years buying wornout horses and working them up into savory sausages has made such a sensation that gome of the butchers have been obliged to stick up placards announcing that horse-meat is not mixed with the sausages sold in their shops.The sickening revelation was brought about quite by accident.An omnibus conductor was imprisoned for over- driving two aged and exhausted horses which he had purchased for next to nothing.In the defense it cams out that these poor animals were not sold with a view to further work, but, accorJ- ing to their former owner, for quite another purpose.They were intended t> furnish beef for the manufacture of sausages and beef tea.A sanitary in spectcr was specially detailed to investigate, so far as possible, how long this state of things had been going on and the extent of it.Some of his discoveries will be interesting if they are ever printed.ie finds that while the practice of serving up horse-flesh for some other kind of meat is comparatively an innovation in London, it took ready root and was carried on to an almost incredible extent.There are more than twenty-five thousand horses employed by the numerous tramcar companies of London which are gradually getting crowded off the streets by electric motors and grip cables.It is interesting to surmise what becomes of them.It seems, too, from investigation, that many of the sausages which are imported here from Germany and Belgium contain horse meat liberally mixed with pork and beef, and that nowhere on the Continent is the uss of horseflesh so extensively carried on as it is in Berlin.The World's correspondent was asked to find out something about it, and here is his report ; Brnuix, Feb.14.\u2014Nearly 9,000 horses are slaughtered here tor food every year.Hundreds of poor people seldom tasta any other kind of meat.The neces- garies of life are very dear in Berlin.It is a beautiful place to study the results of the wolicy of protection.Foreign beef -omes into Germany under suck restrictions as are almost prohibitory, and American pork is shut out entirely.To the unprotected laborer and the smaller tradesman meat is positively a luxury.Ten years ago Berlin would have shuddered at the thought of horsemeat coming from public slaughter- bouses as an article of daily consumption.To-day the demand for it is so great that its sale must be regulated by law.There are any number of \u201c\u2018\u201c\u2019Rozs- Schlachter\u201d shops in Berliu.They are obliged to sell horsemeat as horsemeat, the same as our buster-dealers must sell oleomargarine for what it really is, and not for what it pretends to be.Police inspectors constantly visit their shops to guard the public against fraud, so far as the sale of meat is concerned.But the consumer is mot protected even in a remote degree after the \u2018meat leaves the butcher's shop.It is really a fact that horsameat is tanderer and wore toothsome than some of th beef sold here, and in many of the batter restaurants is surreptitiously served as beef.In the roastone can always d2- tect it, but in the hashes and stews the deception works very well.Horsemea: has one merit\u2014it is very cheap.The poor of Berlin can get a fair roast of it at 25 pfennings a pound, a fillet at 20 pfen- ning and a tenderloin at 25 pfenning.[Four pfenning are equal to ons cent in American money.] It was no easy maiter for the World correspondent to gat permission to visit the central Ross-Schlachterei, where the horses used for public food are slaughtered.Singularly enough, this place is close to the trotting park.Tne first obstacle encountered was a stalwart man in a sleeveless cardigan jacket, his bare arms reeking with blood.He came to agate which was io:ked and referred the World correspondent to the veterinary surgeon in charge, who in turn sent him to, the police, where he was again shunted in the diraction of Dr.Wolf, the chief Government inspec tor.This business-like officer punctured at once the polite but puerile excpse that was offered for asking permission to visit the Ross-Schlachterei aud said: \u201c Nonsense ; you have beef enough in America without killing your horses for food.Yousimp!y want to publish in the World the horribie stuff some of us are obliged to eat here in Berlin.I would like to oblige you, but I cannot until I obtain permission from my superior officer\u201d After two weeks of waiting your -Correspondent received a card informing him that the Polizel Prasidium, of Berlin, had granted his application, and he was to present himself to Dr.Wolf for further particulars.This resulted in a very cordial greeting from the doctor, and the presentation of an official document daly signed and seated directing Dr.Klaus, Whois in charge of the Ross-Schlachterei, to give the correspondent all the information in his power and allow him to nspect the premises.A slaughier-house 18 not an agreeable place to visit at any time, but it was particularly pathetic to 8¢e a acore or more of faithful horses, no longer able to drag loads through the streets, led to the chopping block to be 8erved as human food.\u201c You see,\u201d said Dr, Klaus, producing 4 big book bound with substantial canvas, \u201c we enter every horse brought here for slaughter, its appearance, whence it Came, name of the seller, name of the butcher who bought it and the result of \u2018Our veterinary surgeon\u2019s examination.\u201d \u201c Do you not record its age ?\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d was the reply; \u201cthe age of horses intended for food, like that of certain ladies, is a matter which had better Dot be enquired into.We examine the horses carefully when they are brought ere.They must be perfectly healthy and fairly well fed.In the case of animals which have met with an accident\u2014 à broken leg or something of that sort om a fall inthe street\u2014we make sure of their being fre from fever be Ore We accept them for slaugh- ler, If, after the animals are illed, we find the meat in any way diseased, it is condemned and buried Last year We accepted 8,000 horses, y ich we used for food.They were ought by the horse butchers, of whom ere are forty in Berlin.These butchers buy the horses at the best terms they can make, but they must bring tem cere fr slaughter.No horse meat can be offered far sale unless it is stamped With our seal, and we never stamp any but healthy meat.Any butcher who sells horse meat without the stamp incurs about the same panalty as the man who se ls liquor without a license.Beyond saying that the meat is all right when it gues to the butcher, we are heipless to protect the consamer.If some restaurateur chooses to serve horse meat instead of bef a ia mid: we cannot help it.The consumer must comfort himself with our recommendation that ho:se flesh i8 nourishing and haaltay.\u201d In the shambles a dozen poor shayyy old brutes were waiting their turn for the death blow; the lame, blind and halt were all there.\u201cYou see,\u201d said Dr.Klaus, pointing to a little brown horse whose ribs were almost as clearly articulated as if he was a skeleton, \u201chow woll fed these horses are.Their meat, if properly prepared, is almost as good as beef.\u201d The poor beasts were stunned with a blow onthe head and their tiroats cut as a finishing touch.Then they ware skinned, quartered and hung.Tae flesh, which was piled up all over the place, had a bluish tinge and looked very touzh and sinewy.Every particle of the poor animal is put to some wuss.The meat is eaten, the hides sold for leather, the bones and hoofs sold for glue, and the blood for manufacturing albumen.Cqondemned meat is fod to dogs and other animals at the Z 30.\u201d A visit to the Ross-Schiachterai 1s enough to make a man a vegetarian for life.A few interesting facts gleaned from the conversation with Dr, Klaus were that horses are extensively used for food throughout Germany.A horse fit for killing (which really means untit for anything else) brings from $10 to $20.There are some factories here which mix a certain quantity of pork with horse meat for making sausages.Thess sausages, it is claimed, cannot be distinguished even by a connoisseur from the genuine article, Quantities of them are sent abroad.\u2014\u2014\u2014 BACHELOR SYBARITES.Young Men Who Sleep in Silk and are Vainer Than Girls.[New York Letter to Philadelphia Times.] An idea that seems to have permeated thoroughly through the masculine world is that women are vainer than men.Now, there is not a word of truth in this, No woman ever lingered with such- loving delight before a looking-glass as will a man with the least pretention to beauty, and no woman ever got mad or swore as often as will a man over the kind of soap he uses, or the proclivity of his shirt front to bulge out and give him a feminine bust.Naturally it does not take a man as long to buy à hat as it does a woman, but then he doesn\u2019t have to trouble about different shades or shapes, although he is informed to a T as to whither the brim curls a bit more, stands out straight, or is gradually growing smaller.He is never so happy as when he is in a house get-up of flannel in which he thinks his figure shows to good advantage.And from the ugliest down to the most pertect Adonis among men, a woman can always govern if she praises his good looks.If he 18 bearded like the pard he quivers with delight at being told he is manly-looking.If he has a few straggly hairs on his chin he likes a woman to emphasize the fact that it\u2019s aristocratic not to have much hair on you, and that it would make him a great catch\u2014in Japan, If he has quite a smooth face he yearns for the feminine approbation as expressed in her opinion that when a man has a really intellectual face it shows to much better advantage if it quite smooth ; although once a year he may have to use a razor, he likes womankind to think that he sacrifices himself on the altarof intellectuality, and bas to apply the sharp razor twice a ay.A man will tell you, like a blatant donkey, that if the fire alarm rang he would present a8 good an appearance if he had to get up in the middle of the night as he would during the day, and I am bound to believe this is true.judging from some of the retiring robes dedicated t> himself and to be bouzht for more money than a Woman would

called\u2019 the \u201cOld Dominion;\u201d do you know wh y it is so called?During the protectorate of Cromwell the colony of Virginia refused to acknowledge his authority and declared itself independent.Shortly after, when Cromwell threatened to send a fleet and army to reduce them to subjection, the Virginians sent a messenger to Charles II, who was then an exile in Flanders, inviting him to return in the ship with the messenger and be king of Virginia.Charles accepted the invitation and was on the eve of embarking for the New World when he was called to the throne of England.As soon as he was safely seated on the throne, out of gratitude for the loyalty of Virginia he caused her coat-of-arms to be quartered with those of England, Ireland and Scotland, as an independent member of the empire\u2014a distinct portion of the \u201cOld Dominion.\u201d Coins of Virginia were issued as late as the reign of George III, which bore on one side | the coat-of-arms of England, Ireland, Scot land and Virginia.\u2014St.Louis Republic.Power of the Divining Rod.With girlish curiosity we tried our powers with therod.In my hands it remained simply the peach tree switch it was, but when my youngest sister grasped it, it seemed to become a thing of life and she immediately retraced the vein of water, Years afterward, when I was in a home of my own, and wanted a well near the kitchen, if water could be found there, she traced a water vein for me, and right where the stake | was driven there is now a well sixty-six feet | deep.In another lot, still higher up, a well was dug down to the same vein seventy-five feet below thesurface.The rod used in finding my well was cut from an oak sapling.À gentleman who was a skeptic on the subject watched her closely while she was finding my well.Finally he caught hold of the ends of the rod and tried to hold it still, but found he could not do it without making it take the skin off her hands, s9 strong was the invisible power

with their fore paws and, according to some crackers, the dirt is carried away in the mouth of the engineer, who backs into deep water and disgorges its load, then returns to renew the operation, until it bas made itself a capacious home under water.This will readily account for the size of the mouth, for it must not only procure food, but also act as a mud scow.The female adopts the same method for building her nest, and not only fills her mouth, but also takes a load between her forelegs when she is in a hurry.She can by this means accomplish much work in a day, for she never scems

woman of English birth the other day, *\u2018probably the best adapted for purposes of entertaining is the British legation.The rooms are 80 altogether suitable for dancing, and, ns of course you know, the dining room is one of the finest in this country, There is something at once homelike and superb about the legation inside.I consider the establishment an illustration of the fact that tbe English are the most civilized people in the world.\u2018We may laugh at and revile their aristocracy \u20141 speak as one now considering berseif an American\u2014but they are way ahead of us in most of the refinements of life.The art of entertaining they understand to a perfection not at all attained on this side of the water.If you don't believe it visit the British legation.\u201d \u201cDo you not find any other houses in Washington well equipped for entertaining?\u201d \u201cOh, yes, indeed.For instance, Mr.Morton\u2019s house is most delightfully arranged for entertaining.The most important thing for such purposes is to have an extended sweep of rooms.Now, since the new addition has beeu put on, there isin the vice president's house a stretch of 110 feet of drawing rooms and dining room in a straight line.This affords most desirable facilities for dancing.Besides, as you doubtless are aware, the new addition gives room for a separate entrance and exit for guests at parties and other enter- tainmeuts, with a secoud porte cochere outside and large dressing rooms and cloak rooms within.It is quite à new idea to me, and, on the whole, I have no hesitation in saying that the Morton establishment is as well equipped as any I have visited in my native country.In\u2018fact, there are very few of the great houses in England so well provided with entertaining facilities as is the vice president\u2019s.Especially below stairs it isa marvel.To begin with, there are two chefs, one a general manager and the other & pastry cook, while all the appointments are marvelously complete.\u201d \u201cWhat do you think of the Leiters\u2019 house\" \u201cYou mean, of courte, the Blaine house, occupied by them on Dupout street, It is a Landsome residence, but not at all well adapted for entertaining.There are only two parlors available for dancing, and in waltzing from one room to the other you nwust jump over the brass rod on which the folding doors run lest you trip up.Perhaps the most available house for parties in Washington, with the exception of the British legation, is Dr.Hammond's.Ihave never been able to im- sgine why so magnificent a mansion should be placed in such a locality.The hall itself is as big as a large ball room, in the shape of a rotunda, and you may go through a dozen apartments before you arrive at the living room of the household.Among other houses in Washington which I consider superb enough to vie with any private residences abroad are those of Gen.Nicholas Anderson, Justice Gray, Col.John Hay, Henry Adams and the Tuckermans\u2019.\u201d\u2014Washington Star.Practiced on the Quiet.A weli to do gentleman, who lives in New York city, became greatly interested in the game of billiards some time ago and had a fine table put in his house.One evening, the gentleman's wife proposed that he teach her to play billiards, He did not receive the proposition very gleefully, fearing that billiards with a novice would be very tedious.But the lady insisted, until finally he led the way to the billiard room and opened the game with a small ran, Then, after full instructions, the pupil played and astonished her teacher by making a very difficult shot.Again she played and counted.The instructions suddenly ceased as the man grew suspicious, He said nothing, but thought a good deal.The game was a close one and was won

cheapest and most poisonous grades of cigarettes, and is so cheap that the wrappers for 1,000 cotton paper cigarettes cost only twocents, Rice paper is the choicest and most costly.Tobacconized paper is made by saturating paper with an infusion of tobacco aud pressing it in such a way as to produce an imitation of the veins of the tobacco leaf.Some use has been made of the fiber of the stalks of the tobacco plant in producing a paper for all tobacco cigarettes.\u2014Straight Tips.Breaking a Glass with the Voice.If you strike a thin wine glass, while you hold it by the stem, it will emit a

Woo I\u201d Theedore winthrop\u2019s Maine misogynist half hit the truth when, * drawling dull legends of trout fishing,\u201d he said : \u201c Drefful national critters traout pe; oliuz bittin\u2019 at whodger haan\u2019t got.Grful contrairy critters ; jess like fimmls.Yer can catch a fimml with a feather ef she is to be cotcbed; ef she haan\u2019t to be cotched yer may scoop the hull world dry, and ye haan't got her.\u201d As I reread these words I find that I do not believe that he even halt hit the truth, for women are influenced more or less by the bait: and the right words, well said, are hard to be resisted even by the most skittish of the sex.THE SIMPLE QUESTION.What are the right words ?I shall try to prove that the right words are those «ontained In the simple sentence I have already written : \u201cWill vou marry me ?\u201d These are the right words, because they are the words the woman wants to hear.She does not want to hear \u201cWill you go to tbe tall this evening ?\u201d \u201c Will you partake of a plate of ice-cream with me ?\u201d or even \u201c Will you be a sister to me ?\u201d She may not say *Yes.\u201d to the supreme question with an unhesitating alacrity with which ehe would to the first two questions above ; she may even answer it as though it were the third ; but she wants to hear the man say, \u201cWill you marry me ?\u201d These are the right words, because they express the idea that the man wishes to convey to the woman with Purity, Propriety and Precision\u2014that is with Perspicuity, How much this means every student of rhetoric knows.That this statement may have its full weight a word of explanation : Firet\u2014The words used and the construction of the sentence helong to the idiom of the language which we speak, Hence the Purity of the sentence.Second\u2014The words selected to make the sentence are such as the best and most established usage has appropriated to the peculiar idea to be expressed by them.Hence their Propriety.Third\u2014They express exactly the idea that the Wooer intends; not some other which resembles it or is akin to it; they express the idea fully and completely and they express the idea and nothing more, Hence the Precision of the sent ence, THE MATIER OF BREATHING.Moreover, there are in the four words forming the sentence, or rather there is in the sentence thus formed, Clearaegs, Unity, Strength, Harmony.It is a model sentence, Assuming, then, that the words * Will you marry me ?\u201d are the right words, it FEMAIL?6 pa decided how these words can be test spoken.For, as Seneca very justly says, \u201c The manner of saying a thing goes a great way toward the value of the thing itself.\u201d It should be laid down as an axiom that no man can control his voice who cannot control his breatb.Correct breatk- ing, therefore, is the very foundation of correct speaking, He who can control properly his breath need not hesitate to o into the presence of her who holds his ate in ber keeping and say the words that are burping in his heart, knowing that neither the manly agitation nor the proper fear that he feels can cause him to lose control of his voice, and render his speech halting, unintelligible and perhaps repellant to her whom he hopes to win.The limits of this paper do not permit me to say more tbun that by correct breathing, I mean Midriff oreathing, Diaphragmatic breathing, Abdominal breathing, all names for the same process.To the would-be wooer who sesks information and incloses postage-stamps I shall be glad to suggest several valuable books on this subject, or, better still, if he can wait, my proposed work on \u201cHow to Speak,\u201d which will be in type soon after is is written, will give him all necessary instruction in the art of deep breathing.DON'T BE IN A HURRY.One remarkable result of Diaphramatic breathing, aud one that I have never seen mentioned, is that to the Wooer who practises it there can never be that unpleacant experience of having his heart in his mouth.The explanation is simple.In Diaphragmatic breathing the lungs are expanded to their greatest dimensions, and there is no room for the heart to get past them and by rising into the mouth interfere with proper speech.Even a man with à small heart will find Diapbragmatic breathing an admirable exercise, and to men with large hearts, which, as is well known, are most subject to mispiacement, it is simply a boon.We thus approach the subject a little nearer, and the question is, \u201cHow shall the Wooer, properly controlling his breath, and consequently his voice and his heart, speak the words ?\u201d First, ag to Time, Very Rapid, Rapid, Moderate, Slow or very Slow ?I have no hesitation in saying \u201cSlow.\u201d As every student of Elocution knows that is the Time in which to deliver sentences expressing Gravity, Splemnity, Pathos, Reverence, Awe, Sobimity, Command.Without doubt the question falls in one or more of these divisione.Stili another reason for saying * Slow How often do we hear of young women | question easy to answer, and delightful, too, DANGERS OF EMPHASIS, On one point, the question of emphasis, Ican speak with authority.That it is an important point at once will be seen.Suppose the Wooer in pure tone, with Effusive, Subdued Force and Intermittent Strees, Low, Concrete Pitch and Triad Cadence, says : \u201c Vill you marry me ?\u201d Is there not dangerthat, in that em- pbasized \u201cWill,\u201d the Wooer give the lady impression that he is almost hopeless that she will?Women want no timid wooers., If he says: \u201cWill you marry me ?he is in danger.It is as though he con- feseed to having put the question to many another woman, and in vain; as though he said : \u201cI can\u2019t get any one else ; will you marry me ?\u201d Alas for the wocer who emphasizes \u201cYou!\u201d Suppose he says: * Will you marry me 7\u201d Danger again.It is at once apparent that he almost expects the answer to be \u2018\u2019 No,\u201d that he had little hope that such as she would marry such 28 be.Emphasis on the * Me \u201d would be almost as disastrous as emphasis on the ¢ Will.\u201d i But\u2014and now you anticipate what I am about to write\u2014suppose the Wooer says.* Will you marry me?\u201d Has he uot asked the question of questions ?What a manly ring the words have.No ambiguity there ; no false modesty ; no timidity ; ro whining supplication! \u201cI'm a man, and I love you; will you marry me ?\u201d Let us leave the {overs to their biiss.BRAINARD G.Suir.Smoke Hand-Made Cigar, Nectar, 5 Cents INTERESTING ITEMS.An Italian rag-picker, arrestad in Springfield, Mass, for stealing some lead npe, did not have any trouble about bail.\u201cHow much you wanta ?\u201d he queried, as he fumbled in his ragged $100 bills, besides other greenbanks of high denominations.* Guess one of those will bring you around to court in the morning,\u201d remarked the clerk, and the Italian immediately handed over $100.A.provoking incident occurred at the funeral of the late Jacob Feldman, The pall bearers were more than ordinarily corpulent men, and the sextet were conveyed to the cemetery in one carriage, The roads being somewhat rough, the conveyance was-taxed too severely and the locks on the doors were sprang during tLe journey.When the cematery was reached an attempt to open either of t! e carriage doors proved futile.In the meantime the hearse had been opened and the mourners and friends were standing about the grave awaiting the coming of the remains.After vain endeavors to allow the pall bearers to make an exit through the doors, the only relief from the embarrassing dilemma was to pass them through the window, which was accomplished after much trouble.* It is not generally known,\u201d says the New York World, \u2018\u2018 that Socretary Tracy has the use of only one eye.Even his intimate friends are surprised to learn that the sight of his left optic was destroyed years ago.Tracy taught school one winter in his youth at Cawanna, a portion of the village of Oswego, N.Y.It was a rough crowd over which he presided, made up of the sons of farmers and lumbermen.One day Tracy gave a youngster a whipping, which the big boys thought was too severe.Ink bottles, books, bricks and other miesles were hurled at the teacher, who pluckily stoed kis ground, A boy uamed Trappan threw a slate in such a way that a corner of the frame pene- rated Tracy's eye.This ended the fight.Tracy was so badly injured that the school was adjourned and he never re- torned to it\u201d À gentleman wag telling the London correspondent of the Chicago News the other day that his wife, who is exceedingly partial to music, was recently charmed with an entr\u2019acte she heard in one of the English theatres.The beauty cf the selection made such an impression that at the close of the performance she itsisted vpon finding out the name of tLe selection.\u201cOh, don\u2019t bother those stupid fiddlers,\u201d expostulated her husband.\u201cStupid fiddlers, my dear ?\u201d cried his wife.\u201cHow canyouspeak so disres~ rectfully of artists?\u201d And away she tripped dowu the aisle to full her errand.Leaning over the orchestra rail, she inquired of the first violinist : \u201cWill you kindly tell me, sir, the name of that exquisitely beautiful selection you played between the second and third acts 7\u201d \"Ob, yah, yah,\u201d said the bespectacled and unkempt Teuton, referring to the volume upon the rack before him, \u201cdot vos No.11 in der green book !\u201d -\u2014 Smoke Hand-Made Cigar, Nectar, 5 Cents \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Looking After Ponnies.The following story, illustrating the Astor philosophy in money matters, is told of the late John Jacob Astor by the man who was the other actor in the scene: \u201cI went to Mr.Astor,\u201d he said, \u201c with a business proposition which demanded an investment of $100,000 on his part.While listening to the plan he kept groping and feeling about on the floor for something he seemed to have dropped.When I nad finished he said readily : \u2018 All right ; go on with the a\u2019 fair ; I'll furnish the money.\u201d At that instant a man entered to tell him that one of his buildings had just burned down, \u201c \u2018That happens nearly every day, he said,\u2019 with the utmost unconcers, and went on feeling about with great care for that sometuing on the carpat.\u201cI finally asked him what he had dropped.\u201c \u201c Wby; he said, raising his head and looking as woebegone as a small boy, \u2018I dropped 10 cents here a few moments agoand I can\u2019t find it.If a man\u2019s buildings burn down, they are gone and he can\u2019t help it, and he is bound to let them go.But a man who deliberately throws away 10 cents because he wont take the trouble to find it is not to be forgiven,\u201d \u2014 New York Sun._\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 EPPs\u2019s CoC0A.\u2014URATEFUL AND COMFO BT ixa.\u2014\"By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operas tions of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well-selected Cocoa, Mr.Epps has rovided our breakfast tables with a de- icately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors\u2019 bills.It is by the judicious wae of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to re- sistevery tendency to disease.Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point.We may escape man a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame.\u201d Civil Service Gazette.\u2014Made simply with boiling water or arswering the question wtth the words, \u201cWhy, I bad no idea\u2014you take me by milk, Sold only in packets, by grocers labelled\u2014\u201cJasixs Erra & Co, Homœc- pathic Chemista.London, Eng.| OLD DANS HUGE STORY.HE EVIDENTLY BELIEVED IN TELL ING A GOOD ONE WHILE AT IT, THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL \u2018His Experience in a Blinding Snow Storm.Abandoning a Dead Comrade, Horses and Wealth, and Never Returning Even for the Dust Left Behind.*0ld Dan\u201d was an eccentric character.No one knew his true name.He would not di- 'vulge it to even his most intimate friends.His ignature to whatever it chanced to be\u2014note, \u2018bond, deed or letter\u2014was invariably \u201cOld Dan.\u201d Under that name he served one year \u2018as mining recorder of Red Cedar Mining district, and there are today filed within the chives of thesecretary of the interior as \u2018Washington city abstracts and certificates bearing the signature \u201cOld Dan.\u201d He was once a candidate for justice of the peace, but a young and rising lawyer defeated him on the ground that \u2018Old Dan\u201d was not his true name aud therefore all his judicial acts would be void.+ I first met him early in the seventies in {Utah, at a lonely spring widely separated by miles of desert from any other habitatio where he was engaged in herding a few h of gentle cows.He indignantly repelled the appellation of \u201ccowboy,\u201d and claimed.like Gurth, to be only a common \u2018\u2018cowherd,\u201d not to Cedrie, the Saxon, but to a Mormon bishop.I was in the mountains prospecting, y outfit consisting of two mules, one packed with grub, blankets and tools, and the other I rode.Oue hot afternoon in Juno I approached the spring where I found \u201cOid Dan\u201d reclining in the shade of his cabin, I asked of him the privilege of watering my \u201c\u2018carivan\u201d from the spring and resting a while in the shade before crossing to the opposite range.This was readily granted, and when I presented him with a long plug of soft smoking tobacco our friendship was cemented and \u2018011 Dan\u201d became very communicative, CLEANED UP 340 POUNDS.In the course of our conversation I asked him if he had ever engaged in mining.\u201cYes,\u201d he replied, \u2018once, in Coutani.Myself and partner, Joe, went into that camp when it was first discovered.We were very lucky, and in less than five weeks we dug out 340 pounds of good, clean gold dust; but it did us no good.We could have taken out a great deal more, but winter was approaching, and as there was no grub in the camp we had to get out.So we put our gold dust into good, strong twenty pound sacks, and loading it on three cayuse horses, and having one each to ride, \u2018we struck out for Wallula.\u201cThe second day out a fearful snow storm struck us.The wind blew atthe rate of 1,000 miles a minute, and the snowflakes were as big as a bed spread.Soon all trace of the trail was obliterated, and we realized that we were lost and wandered aimlessly in the blinding storm.Joe's feet and limbs began to freeze, the horse on which we had the heaviest load of gold dust stepped between two fallen logs and broke a leg, and we made camp, shot the horse to relieve him of his suffering, and attempted to build a fire, But it was no use.It was impossible to start a fire in that whirling, twisting, driving snow, for nothing would burn.All that afternoon and night we huddled around the dead horse in the vain endeavor to keep warm with the scanty blankets we had.The next morning the storm broke away to some extent, but Joe's feet and legs were frozen as stiff and solid as icicles.I would have given half of our gold dust to have been in a place of safety.However, as there was no use to lament, we had to make the best of it and try and get out if we could.I got the horses together and packed them the best I could.I tied poor frozen Joe on to his saddle horse by means of strips or bands torn from our blankets, One hundred pounds of \u2018gold dust we liad to leave, as our horses could not pack it through tho deep snow, All day long we struggled and toiled in the blinding stormand drifting snow.Asnight approached the storm became more furious and violent than ever.I was in advance of tho train; Joe was bringing up the rear.JOE'S AWFUL FATE.\u201cI called a halt in order to consult Joe what was best to do, and what do you think I discovered?Why, Joe was dead! As dead, cold and stiff as a crowbar.A mass of solid frozen flesh and bones, frozen so hard and stiff that be still maintained the upright position on his horse in which I had placed and tied him in the morning.I lost no time in cutting Joe loose from his saddle, and laid his icy form by the roots of a tree.The snow by this time was coming down thicker and fastep than ever.Our horses bunched themselvesall up together, and in less than an hour were completely huried in the snow, and I would | have shared tho same fate had Ÿ not tramped the snow down and kept on top.All night long I kept up this constant tramp, tramp.I tell you, it was worse than tramping through Georgia.The next morning it cleared up, but the snow was forty feet deep, I realized that it would be impossible to get my horses out of that sea of snow, and I would be in big luck if I got myself out.So I dug down to where the horses were buried and succeeded in cutting open one of the sacks of gold dust ar took out a few handfuls and put it in my = _ pouch.[also got a small piece of bacqy \u2018a some crackers.With these I started to fl d my way out.After two weeks of in- \u2018cepsant toil and struggles I reached a small settlement more dead than alive.The people were good to me, and Isoon recovered strength sufficient to travel, and I made my way down to the seacoast, where I took a sailing vessel for \u2018Frisco, and from there came to Utah, where you now see me.\u201d \u201cOld Dan,\u201d having refilled his pipe, began to puff away, In answer to a question of mine he replied: \u201cNo; I never went back to find our gold dust, or to see whether poor Joe had thawed out or not.I suppose it is all there yet, and some one will find it one of these days.No, have not mined any since I left Coutani.\u201d \u201cHave you ever prospected any for silver ore in these mountains?\u201d I again asked.\u201cYes; once.Two years ago I went down into Death Valley to find the Breyfogle mine.\u201d \u201cDid you flud it?\u201d \u201cYes, I found it, and a big thing it is.\u2018Why, sir, it crops out as high as this house and is over three hundred feet wide.You can trace these high croppings for a mile right along through the level desert; and rich! you never saw anything like it.The whole ledge is one solid mass of horn silver, into which you can stick your knife as easy as you could into a bar of soft lead.\u201d \u201cDid you locate it?\u201d I mildly inquired.\u201cNo, sir; 1 did rot locate it.I was not hunting for silver mines just at that time; it was water I wanted.I had been without water for cight days, and my tongue was protruding from my mouth two feet or more.No, young man, gold will not bring warmth and food in a suow storm, nor will silver bring water in a desert.No more mining or prospecting fur me.\u201d\u2014San Francisco Call, A Long Island florist has been brought up into a police court for shooting at his wife because she declined to continue working in the fields, plowing, harrowing, etc., and because she finally rebelled against cleaning out the stables.The florist remarked that she was his wife and he would do what he liked with her, but the police justice does not seem \u2018to be of his opinion.\u2014_\u2014 A WOMAN WHO IS WEAK, nervous and sleepless, and who has cold hands and feet, cannot feel and act like a well person.Carter's Jron Pills equalize the cir culation, remove nervousness, and give strength and rest.St.Paul is kicking iteelf because it did not build an ice palace this winter.It would have paid large dividends if gold by the cake in Iowa and Missouri next summer.Tobacco Chewing Ministers.When Rev.Dr.Tiffany, of Minneapolis, hed in Chicago his brethren all knew that he loved fine cut, because he made nd secret of the chewing habit.He was a regu lar attendant at those Monday morning \u2018mine isters\u2019 meetings\u201d which the average reporter bates, but which are really enjoyable on ac count of the bright sayings and clever witticisms of preachers who do not think they are forbidden to indulge in a hearty laugh be cause they occupy a pulpit.Whila Dr.Tif- fapy was a participant in these meetings the tobacco habit came up for discussion on morning.A well known bishop was presid ing.One after another the brethren arosé GAZETTE S and condemned the use of tobacco in any form.Then one of them, during a lull, said : he would like to hear Dr.Tiffany's ideas on the subject.The big doctor arose.\u2018I chew tobacco,\u201d he said, \u2018and you all know it.Now, 1 would like to have all those who do not usé tobacco rise in their seats.\u201d There was 4 grand uprising.\u201cRemain standing, please, said the doctor, as he looked over the cadaverous men standing before him.\u2018Will those who use tobacco please step forward heref\" he said, and a half dozen sleek looking par sons walked up and joined him, \u2018\u2018Stand up bishop; you're a chewer,\u201d he said to the pre siding divine, and he joined the group.Dr.Tiffany then looked over the thin fellows whe tabooed tobacco, turned to the healthy look ing men around him and said: \u2018Brethren, ] think we are doing pretty well.\u201d The arg ment was unanswerable.\u2014Chicago Herald.A Snare and Delusion.If a man has weary nerves and a thumping headache nothing prevents his coming home and tying a towel about his brows like a Turk, and being as grummy as one the rest of the evening.Buta woman in the same case can only look longingly at her old wrap perand then go and painfully build up her Psyche knot and an agreeable smile of ex actly the right angie, else she will hear that \u201cHang it! It's enough to drive a fellow ta his club to have an untidy wife lying about on tbe sofas!\u201d and that \u2018\u2018the deuce knows why a woman always manages to look pretty before marriage and never after.\u201d In fact, being a woman at all isa snare and a delusion, It sounds very, very nice, but it's awful - A woman isn\u2019t even allowed to grow old in peace.Going the course of all nature is just the worst crime she can commit.If she isn't married her brothtrs don\u2019t forgive her for it, and if she is married ber husband won't.So there it is; a bore any way you look al it.\u2014Exchange.A Giant of the Forest.Undoubtedly the largest stump in the state of Washington is the one located just below Snohomish City, on the farm of W, 8.Clay, says The Seattle Press.It is a huge cedar, and its diameter is 20 feet\u2014a surface sufficient for forty men to stand upon.The tree wat burned down some sixteen years ago, and its wood was used for fence rails, shingles, etc.There was enough material in the tree to fur | nish rails for the fencing of a large Texas farm.The stump was photographed when five horses, standing abreast, three feet apart, and thirty men were upon it.Such a phot | is now in possession of the writer and others ! in Snohomish.A circle whose diameter is À ! feet must be 63 feet in circumference and contain an area of 314 square feet.The tree belonging to the big stump was 80 feet in height, and its volume was, therefore, 6,374 : cubic feet, This was a giant! Poetry hat lauded the majestic oak, but its size is often eclipsed by Washington's cedars.As She Is Writ in Japan.A Tokio correspondent gives some amusing \u2018 specimens of English as it is written by the .Japanese.Among them are these, from « | library company's rules: \u2018The Proffession of our Company is supplying the all Japanese \u2018 Classical and Modern Books or Chinese and English Language Books to Readers for re cieving duly Lending Price.\u201d \u2018The object of our library is for the Reader who desired tq ' Read many book at one time for searching useful matter.Therefore all book which if ready in our Company, is permit to Read but the prevailing Book at present is wis for Reader to be fend from tke procedeur ol of sending.\u201d \u201cWho has read the Book of out Company, above Three month by the Polish way of the reading, thought of our Company will send the Signature of Special and may be lend by paying Lending Price that miti gating 1-10 of it,\" Memory.Youth is the enchanted land to which the aged flee.They visit the old house where they were born in their reveries; they sit by the cheerful fire, they smell the roses at thes chamber window, they hear the swallows and bluebirds; the family are still united, there are the familiar voices, songs and laughter, the footfalls, the merry life that used to fili all, indoors and out, so long ago.They never tive of the old adventures, the fiery purposes, the love makings, weddings, births, funerals, How minutely it is all re produced\u2014the shadows all gone, and the light of youth and hope and joy shining so delight fully ovér all.\u2014The Interior, \u2014_\u2014 About Hotel Registers.+ Probably very few travelers, as they affix their signatures to the register, notice the fact that nine-tenths of the best hotels in the country are supplied with such books by the same firm.Such is the case, however, and, what is more to the point, the registers don\u2019t cost the hotels a cent.They are supplied gratis by a firm in Chicago, who makes its money-\u2014 and lots of it, too\u2014from the advertising print ed in the books.All that is asked of the hotels is a contract that they will use no other regis tersthan thosesupplied by the firm mentioned, aud itfurnishes good books, with a fine qual ity of paper.\u2014Indianapolis Journal, \u2014_ A Huge Stamp Collection.The American school boy that prides him self on having the biggest collection of postage stamps in his native village, town or county, will hear with envy that the French navy department in Paris has amassed, not merely a huge album, but a gigantic library of such precious trifles.It is the largest collection in the world, This, of course, is public property.\u2014Paris Letter.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The Wrong Address.Among some old papers sent to a Texas jail for the entertainment of the inmates was the election circular of one of the local candi dates.One of the prisoners, who has been in Jail for over a year, looked at it and said: \u201cLook here, boys, this is not intended for us, Itis addressed \u2018To the people at large.\u2019 That don\u2019t mean us,\u201d Texas Siftings, \u2014_\u2014 Forty Cents a Dish, Restaurant Cook (to new assistant)\u2014Mix three tablespoonfuls of condensed i with half a pint of flour, some Water and a couple © spoonfuls of starch, Quick, now!

Getting into the rowboat I followed the leader.Now and then from the sailboat came encouraging remarks from my excited cook.Supper, I need hardly say, suffered sadly from waut of attention.Meanwhile I was going through the ordinary evolutions of catching a tarpon, enjoying its exciting rushes and beautiful leaps as they took place under the reddish glow of the fading sunset.| Already I bad him well tired out, and was pulling him in gradually to gaff when I noticed a huge fin somo eighty yards off.The fin cut the glassy water like the bow of a steam yacht.The tarpon, becoping aware of this immense shark's presence and imbued with new life, shot off in his intense fear.But he was fagged out, and I soon stopped him.The shark meanwhile had slowed up and was slowly circling about tarpon and boat, perhaps hesitating between two appetizing dishes.I felt a chill run down my back and my hair seemed to creep when slowly coming straight up to the boat he passed not three feet underneath, revealing not more than twelve feet of a spotted back.He doubled and prepared to play the same trick.Feeling that a strike of his tail under the boat might tlrow one or more of us in the water, I yelled to Joe: \u201cStrike him in the jaw with an oar!\u201d Joe gave him a powerful blow that caused hin to swerve aside for a moment, but in an instant, turning on his side, he made a vicious snap at the oar.; Joe, nothing daunted, was about to hit him again.\u2018\u201c\u2018Leave him alone!\u201d I cried.\u201cYou are only making matters worse.Let us gaff the tarpon and get him in tho boat, and we will get a revolver.\u201d Meanwhile, standing in the bow, my mind was divided between my fear of falling in the walter, where the shark might interview me, and losing my tarpon.The tarpon, by tle way, all this time had been acting in a,most eccentric way, evidently frightened crazy by the presence of this large shark.The latter, however, ceased his attentions to us, and be gan to circle around the tarpon, who made ing that it was nip and tuck between the shark and I as to who would get that tarpon, I had succeeded in getting him within twenty feet of the boat, and secing him come in belly up, bleeding greatly from the gills, was beginning to flatter myself 1 had clearing the water like lightning, with a fierce rush, the shark made for him.Thera was a horrible splashing\u2014I sow the tarpon lifted clear of the water, while the spot became blackened with blood.For a moment I was dazed, not to say scared, by the sudden turn matters had taken.Joe, too, was kneeling in the bottom of the boat, his eyes starting out of his head.He finally said, his voice gradually rising into a shriek, \u201cWell, if I ever saw anything like that may I be shot!\u201d Recovering myself I dead weight attached to it.As I puiled this came to the surface, the water gurgling round and round through it.With a shout of laughter Joe screamed out, \u201cWell, you have got his head anyhow!\u201d Sure enough, there was the tarpon\u2019s head, with shreds of skin hanging from it.But Joe spoke rather too early, for the twisting mass was suddenly seized and dragged beneath, while my line snapped.Throwing the rod down in the boat and uttering a strong cuss word, 1 seized the oars and rowed silently back to the boat.Here we were accosted by the cook, who had taken in the whole thing frong the boat, and was in a frenzied condition of excitement which almost equaled ours.Supper I found going to chips, but I was too mad even to swear at the cook.The tarpon, so far as I could judge, would have weighed between 120 and 130 pounds, and measured from 6 feet 2 inches to G feet 4 inches in length.The shark was of the species known as \u2018\u2018leopard shark\u201d on the coast,\u2014Outing, Taught the Dog to Steal.Annoyed by the repeated loss of his paper which the carrier was accustomed to leave on the doorstep of his residence on Walnut street, Mr.Smith recently arose in time to get the paper when the carrier arrived.Ha marked it on the inside with a blue pencil: \u201cThis paper was stolen from \u2014\u2014,\u201d left it in the usual place on the step and went back into the house to await the approach of the thief, Ten minutes later, having heard no sound of any one approaching, he looked out and was dumfounded to find the paper miss ing.He laid a similar trap next morning, and sat in the parlor window to watch.The carrier had not been gone two minutes before a big Newfoundland dog trotted into his dooryard, took the paper in his mouth and ran off.The gentleman followed tho dog around the corñer and saw three boys meet the animal there, take the paper and direct the dog to another dooryard.After collecting the papers the boys took them home to their mother, had the creases ironed out, and sold them on the streets down town.\u2014St, Paul Pioneer Press, Lemon Soap and Orange Biacking.Lemons are used for Soap in many countries where they grow, When, for instance, the men and women of the West Indies want to wash their hands they squeeze the juice of a lemon over them and rub them briskly in water until they are clean, There is an acid in the lemon similar to that used in soap, and hence it is a sort of natural soap.And in countries where oranges grow in great plenty country gentlemen use the cheapest kind for blacking their boots, The orange is cut in two and the juicy side of one half is r on the soot of an iron pot 3 thes on ea \u2014_\u2014 Th To Alphabet in One Sentence.© following is said to be the shortest | 8 sentence in the English language containing all the letters of the alphabet: \u201cJohn P.Brady gave me a black walnut box of quite small The entire sentence contains less than twice the number of letters i New York Commercial ad sr Probe\u201d vertiser, The Best Yet, \u201cWhat i pat a do you think of the \u2018Angelus,\u2019 Mrs, \u201cVery fine, You .of dry \u2018What Are know it is to me a sort t Ristary 7 mo Yorn gold Waves Baying, Constipation and Headache.y Opan Sims I suffered with constipae bon an eadac ©, and got a bottle of much good that lt ond 14 id.me so it proved a at got Several bottles, and Rs.Ro a , , BERT TAYLOR, Shipka, P.O., Ont.pol dimes Whiteomb Riley is said to have © new resolutiona, One of them i unquestionably, A r part: ership with Bil Ny form another part- ATURDAY, MARCH 8 NEW ADVERTISEMENT;
