like to cherish the delusion.Heinrich Heise i» another post who in Professor Gunn\u2019s opinion is entitled to rank aimost with Goethe and Schiller.His works are about the beat evidence there can be, that German isnot only « language for the serions and Pre) that Germans are not as some imagine devoid of humor, for the wit that beams ost in his works equals spy the world has ever seen.To-dsy there is some decay of portic force smong the Germans and oauses which long «go o; ted to bring about thie result may do and and sre doing so again, for the nation is ove that loves war songe better than those of love, and now, eves in its schools a military orgspization seems to be the basis of everything.Then, too, (iermsa mann- factures wre becoming pre-emisently im- aot and men\u2019s winds lis more in the direstion of science than ia that of literature.This last reason is -wme that operates almost equally in Americas where an institution of learning usually has to etruggle | along as best it can the arts and msou- factures which sorround it.Still, although this has a tendency to paralize literature of ! one kind it gives rise to others of a different description.This led Prof.Grnn to mestion sume of the leading mes of scieoce in Cermany whom he had seen at work in their rooms, At thess were Bunsen, the great chemist, and inventor of the burner ! bearing, bis name now in use in almost e laboratory in the world ; Kirchoff, the physicist : and Helmholiz, physicist, anatomist sad physiologist, who invented the Ophthalmoscope.The brothers J.and W.Grimm, both of them erudite philologists and in- veutigators were also mentioned, and in connection with them the theory waa alluded to that the\u2019 old fairy tales, the delight of every childish mind, sre nothing more nor lees than remraios of the old worship of Wodin sad Thor and all their host.The lecturer went oo to speak of the deve: lopment of the language and of its risiog importance.It was Voltaire, he maid, who in the middle of the 16th century, remarked, whea in Potedam, *\u2018I find mysell in Prance here,\u201d so universally was the French laugu spoken.The strides that Germany bas ade in raising hersell are stupendous.It was only about 20 years ago that the Government gave orders that English should be taught io all tbe echools.Now England bas to repay the compliment, of such value is a knowledge of the sister tongue becoming.The liters ture of the country is of the most beautiful | description, aud the Professor said that in order to appreciate it, one must read il is tbe original, for to quote his own simile, \u201cIt is like a multi colored butterfly caught in à spider's web.If you touch it the color comes off on your fingers and ite beauty is ruined.\u201d To show the power of expression possens- od by the language, Mr.Gunn guoted in the origiosi a indicating batred and soother describing the gathering of a storm.Ia the one the malicious serpent like hiss of Bierce determivation could te distinctly detected, and in the second, one could simost hear the Jong low roll of pealing thunder, interrupted now and then bya flash of fork- tongue lightning To show though that it was pot sny means » lavguags of only hacsh guttural sounds, he repeated another few stanzas, the opening lises of **Wilhelm Tell.\u201d The soft ripplingly masical notes of the verse succeeding those describing she flercer ions was as a silver bell tinkling afier the clang of the alarm gong.The conclusion of the lectare was warmly spplanded.Mr.William Woods moved a vote of thanks to the lecturer for the trest he bad afforded snd it was warmly seconded by the Kev.Canos Von Ifflsad, who strongly advisd all who had the time to do ao, to take up the stady of tbe language under Professor Guna.In transmitting the vote of thanks to the Profossor the Dean took advantage of the occasion to claim him ss sn old Quebecer, which indeed he is, aud boped that bis stay smnng us might be loog continued, The audience, it is sale Lo say, departed for to have ao early opportunity of agaio livten- ing to the versatile lecturer.Shopping in New York.\u201cSome ketbeoke, please.\u2019 The lady with tbe

Mise Kelley, he removed to Douglaston, Gaepé, also a U.E.L.settlement.Having amassed weaith, he purchased ip 1803, from the heirs de Beaujeu, the rich and picturesque of Inte anx Grues and Isle aux Oies, P.Q., where he spent twenty-six years of his life.This early home of the historian, with its Scotch tesch- in, of industry sad self reliance, together with the healthy example of the venerable Daniel MacPherson, who closed his career, at St.Thomas, at the age of 87 years, soems to have ever remained uppermost in the mind aud remembrance of the subject of this sketch, and to have tinctuetd

Charles LeMoyee, or LeMoine, of St.Remi, close to Rouen, was à man of importance ta his day ; he figures in old titles us the scisneur of three cle or seignuries : La Noraie, Ste Marie and

WEDNESDAY, JAN.27, 1897 THE PREMIER IN MONTREAL The Hon.Mr.FLyny wu decidedly the man of the hour in Montreal.He is more dissamed in the newspapers than any other and if we sre to judge by their comments, and by the applause which has the honorable gentleman and his colfeagues at the crowded meetings which \u201cthey have attended nightly since their awvivel in the commercial metropolie, the Provincial Ministers enjoy almost unpee- asdented popularity there.As the Montreal Ganrtic putas :\u2014* The heather seems to be om fire, for it has boen many years wines the Conservative party could convoke wech enthasiastic railies as are now being ealled by the Provincial leaders and ad- desssed by Premier FLrux and his colleagues night after night.Xo less than sizteon perfectly organised Liberal-Con- ssgvative Clubs are mow ia operation in differeot parts of the city, and all are ready at a moment's notice to enter the arena in defence of their party principles, and in support of tbe Quebec administration.\u201d Better even than the large number of such cube is the thorengh unanimity of sentiment and action by which they are aetu- sted.While all the speeches made by the Premier in the sister city seem to bave sepested is thet prowounced before the Club Cartier.Ho nid that the enthusiss- tie cheers which greeted him as he entered tbe hall wwmed to him a gurtain harbioger of a splendid victory for his Government at the polls.This never- anes, be mid, would lead the old party proudly into the fight, ani ensure to the present Government à decisive trinmph.The Premier congrataleted the Club, which here such a glorions, such an honored, and wush a battle winning name as Cartier.If he had to chese = battle flag, or a political \u201cplatiorm, be would go tu the Clu'> Cartier, and mg, \u2018\u2018here ia my programme, here is \u2018say Wattle flag.\u201d The Premier recalled his splendid reception in that city sometime age, and the grand results that followed that visit, snd he stated that a great damenstration wouldagain be held there on the 4th of February, when all of the Clubs \u2018would waite in defence of the old Conserva- Sivecanss.The Prime Minister them pro- cotdod to dissuss the promisenoi the present Government, holding that they had, ome mad all, boom fulfilled.\u201cWe have kept,\u201d be sided, \u201c\u2018serupulomsly, every promise that had been wade at St.Jean Port Joli, in September last.The Premier described .the change that hai come over the wpirit ef the Opposition\u2019s dreams.When the session waa opemed they only gave the present Ministerial party fifteen members as the result ofthe general election.JA Mttlo later, however, the figures were im- esensed to twesty, twenty-five and thirty.- Kn fost, they came to admit that the contest would be close, but they would win all hai ruined the late Premier.was one that would bring comfort to tbe honest toiler and prosperity to the old Province of Quebec.The honorable gentleman traly sid that no scandals had been brought to the door of the present Ministry, and no charges of boudling had been preferred againet either a member of the Government or their friends.A gentleman had mid, not Jong since, \u2018Let the Opposition ask for an investigation into the affairs of the Montreal Court Howse and I will show that for a contract of $60,000 I had to give them 850,000.\u201d Then the Prime Minister asked what the result would be if the Upposition came into power I These men had always said that it was the Mercrex entourage that Did not that name entourage still exist, and would not Mr.Pacavp have a better chance to square that judgment against him for $100,000 if his friends were then mulcted him for 850,000.They tell ne, however, he went on, that we must unt k of these things.They say that the Corernment is dead, but they forget that the scandals which di that regime are very much slive Hon.Mr.Navver was equally happy in his speech.He claim- od that the best measure adopted for the ion of the workingmen was intro- 5 by Hon.Mr.Tanzox-rogarding the nt of due by railway curs- panice He les clairaed that more people had frequented the night schools, cost:ng 810,000 per anoum, and more benefits had been derived from them than during the Mencikk regime, when the coat was $50,- 000.He explained the provisions of the Homestead Act, which he had had the honor to carry through the Legislature la-t esssion; whereby & man could secure 200 acres of land and hold the saine free from all ibilities of seizure for his wife and children.He referred, in conclusion, to the fact that he had been charged with favoring a coalition.He was still in favor of a coalition of all honest men.In fact, such a coalition was already in operation, as the best men of all parties were rallying to the sapport of Hon.Mr.FLrsx, whose was the policy of those who dele- poe f to vur ol #0 many noble traditions.is undoubtedly ample justification for the Hon.gentleman's onntention that the best elements of all parties are rallying to the support of the Administration.Any review of the recent Ministerial utterances in Montreal would be incomplete, bow- ever, without a reference to the fine broad sentiments expressed by the Honorable Premier in concluding his speech at the Mayor's banquet.*\u2018He h \" he said, \u2018that the day would soon come when we would speak of *\u2018Canadianism\u2019 as on the other side of the line people speak of \u2018American ism.\u2019 1t would be a great day when the same ides existed among Canadian citizens asamong those of ancient Rome, when they would consider themselves \u2018Civin Canadenms,\u201d as the Romans considered themselves \u2018Civis Roma.\u2019 In the words of the city motto, he would say to all \u2018Concordia Saloa\u2019\u201d That's the kind of a sentiment we want in this country of ours, and the men who teach it are the men that all the Canadians will delight to honor.PARRY SOUND.The eraze now-a-days seeeas to he the Sound Railway.Mr.Lac- MIRR again made it the piece de resistance in his speech the other evening, at the Mayor's banquet in Montreal He pictured to the Montrealers in glowing colors the advantage it must bring to Canadian snd he prophesied that the harbor Patio of Montreal would be inadequate to handle its trafic.But there ars other aspirants for the trade of this new line.Alderman PaEroxTAINS\u2019s mission to London is said to be to raise capital to connect it with Sorel, snd ultimately.by the South Shore, with Levis and Gaspe.Sorel 1s an excellent harbor, and it will not require many miles of new mad to connect the Canads Atlantic at Valleyfield with the Sorel rond at St.Lambert.But the mo-t dangerous rival to Quebec in undeubtediy Three Rivers.It hsa a splendid harbor, with good wharves, and a belt line of mail- way, the river front, siready built, offering the best pomsible facilities for shipping the deals and lumber of the Ottawa River mulls and of the new lumber country just opened up between Ottaws snd Prey Sound.All that is wanted is à large grain elevator similar to those now bein, built by Mr.Boorn at Parry Sound, Three Rivers will then be equipped t> handle all the business that the railway ean carry.\u2018The City Council of Three Rivers is thoroughly alive to the importance of this, and reed: make any res sonable sacrifios to obtain it.At the last theeting of their Council the Mayor and two of the Aldermen were appointed a deputation to to Quebec, and offer the Directors of ths Great Northern Railway a bonus, ~which will, nodoubt, bea large one,-\u2014to make their terminus in \u2018Three Rivers, and build their workshops there.If they ean carry their point in this.\u2014and it does not seem unlikely, \u2014 Three Rivers will certainly become rime the biggest shipping ports in for altbough the Parry Sound road is only jost opened, there is already nearly as mach lumber being made mn it this winter as the whole export of the port of Quebec, not to speak of the western «rain trade, which is sure to be very large.In the meantime, our own City Council, which has been alternately passing reanlutions and making on this subject, for the laat three years, without coming to any penctical conclusion, notwithstanding the unanimous advice of the press, and the urgent petitions of the largest holders, and the recommendation of the Premier of Canada himself, bids fair to ose the business entirely for bec.And when they shall have lost it, ihey are not likely to receive the blessings of their fellow-citizens.MISERY ABROAD\u2014A WARNING.The fact that distance lends enchant- the same, don't you know.\u201d Hon.Mr.Tuyau spoke of the concurd and harmony that rpégnod in the Conservative ranks

economy and enn- siderable seif-denial to provide for them- Tt is some much better off they are than thousands of their fellow beings elsewhere.For those who really cannot live upon their éarnings here and feel the necessity of entering upon a new sphere of life, we believe that it is safer toturn their attention to agri- euiture in this Province than to seek for other labor sbroad, or to continue to cling, without employment, to the outskirts of our cities.Many of the wealthiest farmers to-day in the Chicoutimi and Lake St, ohn districts, commenced life there without any ineans seversl years ago.A good work in settling our unemployed surplus population upon farming lands is now being dome by the various colonization societies, and the present Provincial Gov: ernment, under the enlightened policy and endership «of the Bon.Mr.Frysy and of the Commissioners of Agriculture and of Colonization, the Hon.Mr.Beacsiex and the Hon, Mr Cuarais, is helping along the gond work in a manner in which it was never done before.The recent reorganization of these departments will enable the Minwuters to devote more attention than ever to these important branches of the public service.But our object is not so much to eulogize the members of the Provincial Government in this matter, as to indicate to our working classes the dangers of emigration rom Canada and the opportunities afforded them of building up homes for themselves in their own loved land, with its free institutions And just laws, and of contributing at the same time to the development and increase of their own and of national wealth EDITOR Au NOTES.Tt must have been a Montreal lady that asked Lord ABERDEEN 80 pointed a question, for all Quebec ones know the correct answer without asking.His Excellency told the story at Mavor WiLsoN-Surra's dinner the other night in Montreal.He said :\u2014*It was a very happy arrangement that the capital of the Dominion, (ntaws, was within messurable distance of the city of Montreal.Whether the object was that the penple of Montreal should he enabled freely to visit Ottawa, or whether the ple of Ottaws should be enabled to freely visit Montreal, was one of those open questions that he would not attempt to decide ; it would be out of place on his partto doso.It would be as unwise as to decide the question that was once put to him by a lady as

hockey team, as generally soticipated, defeated the Quebec hockey team here oo Maturday night, but they had mo snsp doing so, Still their forwards, at any win.It the Quebec team bad put up the kind of hockey they sre capable of ehowing, they could have woo, but they in reality played a very poor game.The why and the wher-fore of Lhie is 8 mystery but the fact remains.Oue thiug that spoiled the forward \u201c| line was, of course, the absence of Arth Scott, the placky and hard-working cap of Lhe team, but the defense should have been almost impregnable with Cahill, Watave and Scott tn front of Stackingsend it to sleep with the consequence that the Monirealere scored three gan.cs in quick succession.The Montres! team also hal absent es from its team, ere off, but Howard and James put up jast about as stroag games as either of them could have played.The maich, ss usgel, was not started until 8.30 or later en 1 was witneused hy thaos «nds whoilled the spacious galleries as well as crowding the si-les vf the riak, The teams wece as folluwe : \u2014 MosTtuzar.Coliins.Vaober Raferee \u2014 Weldy Jmpires.Young, Ouswanever got pest the centre of the ice, the Que the Montreal men did get up a short distance, Swilt got hold of the puck near the centre of the ice, rushed it up, and scored, drawieg tirer blood for Quebec.A couple amanits vn the Moutreal goals foliow- forwards come up.Howard secured the disc, made a pretty rus up the left wing, sod Moatresl, 1.Following this the Moa tteal men twios rashed the peck inte the Quebec territory, and Lhe majority of the left the gouls exposed, with Lhe result that Barlow twic got a clesr shot sed sorred, all three games being tek-u withio five mioates, Montreal 3, Qusdec |.Daring the first hall [)ayle was ruled ofl for striking Howard wno had fouled him and after Gve minutes t-turn- od.Half tire saw the score noalwred, for slthosgh the Qiclec foraarde had several chances to score from Lhe fine lilta of ibeir defence they seemed to be Loo slow in taking advantage: * them sad achieved nothing.In the secrad ball the play was mucn of the same ratare sa ia the first, ovosiniing chiefly of loeg lifts from end to end, with little combination play or rushing.What passing was atiempled was mostly ea the side of the Montreal team and was generally off side.Smith, of the Quebec team, was the only one who passed at all systematically, sod though he frequently did eo in front of goals, and at all times kept his place will, there was never anyone but à Moutreuler to receive the peck.The first game in this half was taken by Quebec, for frem « bunch near the goals the puck was sent ont in front of the prets aad Doyle par it through, Murs phy\u2019s stick touching it ae it went iv, Lat Lo no effect.Montreal 3, Quebec 2 During the next gams there sesmed to he some hnpe that Quebec would even things up, but it was doomed to dissppointment, though the forwards worked frentically, for the Montreal men worked the tubber dowa Lo the front of the Quebec grals, and a souffle in fromt of them the glided through about three inches from Stocking's skate.Just after the puck was started Howard was raled off for slashing at Doyle's teat and attempting to trip him, but it made no difference, and before any more scoriug was done the whistle blew and it was Montresl's match.Referee Welly Young made a thoroughly efficent snd ra\u2018iafactory official, his decisiocs being well given throughout, while not the slightest off -side ecomed to escape his eagle eye.Que thing is made certain by the loss of this watch, vis, that if Quebec is to stand a Rhost of a show for Lhe cnampiomship she must win every match from his out, and to do that the Leam will have to improve 50 per cent.There is something radically wrong somewhere, but just what, is the question.One feature that was very eppareat on Selurday night, was the greater speed of the visitors, and though they played « por game, compared to what was expected of them, they set an example to Quebec in the matter of keeping their places, while they always came back sud belped their defence at the right time.The bume team soem to have made a mistake 10 not letting ous of the defence men rush wore after scoring io the sccond half, for whatever was the troubls, whether that the three forward game is a killiog oce, or that the men are not io condition the Quebec rashers seemed dazed sud pluyed oùt The twa goslers put up great gaines for their respec tive teams, for Colline kept out several soorchera while Stocking at times repelled a perfect hail of shots.Better luck next time, ye, but work for it!

landed on the Island, raised the Hawsiiso flag and took possession of it in the name of the Hawaiian Govern.The message of President Cleveland requesting its assent to a British- Hawaiian cable treaty is now recalled by the presence of these Lwo men in Hawaii.By many it is believed that their character ss teavellern ia assumed and that they are really British Goveroment agents sent out for the purpose of obtaining, if possible, the permission of the Hawaiian (invernment to the cession of Neckar lsland, subject to the come sent of the Government of the United States under the treaty existing with that (3 vera- ment.It is believed that Great Britain has never taken its eyes off Neckar Island and that it has chosen the time when the United States Government is in à transition period to again present the subject and press t to & conclusion.COM MBEROLA.L.What Bradsireets ays, Bradstreets says :\u2014Thers is no change in wholesale trade at Toronto, where demand id quiet.Orders are light at Montreal, rather below the average for the season.Absence of snow in the interior has had a de; ing effect on lumbering, Halifax stocke of fish are lighter and the market is firmer, but general trade is duller and collecti ns slow.Quebee city \u2014 Wholesale merchants, particularly dry goods, complain of lack of snow, making tade in sume districts low, hardware and grocers report business light, collections are gene.ally report- od , shoe manufacturers appear satisfied with the amount of business done.The Sc John, NB, lu: ber market has been higher recently than for a number of years.Labrador shore fishing bas exceeded expectations.Many Canadian merchants axpe:t a good spring trade to begin soon.There were 59 Lusinem failures lant week, against 65 the previous werk, 74 in the week a year an two years ago.Bank clearings nt Wioniper, Teronte, Hamilton, Montre land Halifax $30,607.- as compared with $31,000,100 in tie like week 8 yoar go, and a total slightly larger than two Fears ago.Timber Notes, At an suetion sale of wood goods, held recently in London, Canadian pine snd sproce made fairly good prices.considering the mixed specifications «ff red.A few lot of broad

market\u2014Thir market is very healthy, and many contracts at top prions con- tinne to be made.During the week several sles from favorite stocks have bren made on the basis of £3 8s and £7 Be for 4th mad 5th deals, and £7 54 and £8 10s for battens.There ie not the least doubt that desls are much more sought after now than last year, and Quantitios are taken ina mixed specif thau recently.Be are enquired fortoa ennaiderable extent, and shippers have some difficulty in supplying the sizes specified, continued detnand from the continent helps this market, fur as muh sa £6 16a Rd is paid there for 7-inch unsorted battens and .e whi Are in & strong position, having sold nearly ail their etock from fiess-open-water to June-duiy, and conaiderable inroada have been made into the later shipments, If the market should weaken in the autumn (and we cannot see any reason Why it should), we cannot but think that the merchants will te tly to blame if they by reason of their natural anxie'y tu realize whilst prices remain good, create an una.de feeling abroad.The shi; pers are firm, and if the dealsrs will respond, thera iz not the least doubt but that the vear 1897 will br na and prospercas as 1896.ngs still their own, but little business in reported.The Bristol Channel buyers are very small pur- tion for stocks which they had previously refused.Ireland is atill in the market, but is pot dealing largely, in consequence vi the prices led agents.Is appears to us obvious that, whilst battens are dear, floorings oust remain at therr present level, and that no conosesion

that wheat will break with the Government report if the report is bullish enough.The une sent out yesterday seems to have au swered thin requirement.Early cables indicated that foreigners were juclined to \u2018\u2018vopper\u201d it also.They (ame wesk enough to mit the most bearish and have been growing in weakness ull day, sa if to add to the genvral disgust The department st Washington sent out a report from Minister Buchanan, made six weeks ago, that the Argentine exportable surplus would be between 001.000 and 24,000,000 bushels, while last Friday Harry Wadhams bad a cable fr 'm Minister Buchanan estimating it at only 13,000,000 bushels.Why holders should have been a0 demoralized it would be difficult to explain.The arrival of nine carxces of Californis wheat off the English const doubtless added to the weakness of the English markets.Beer bohn makes the world's crop last year 144,000, OUV moe than in 1886 snd 290,000,000 less than in 1894, The last is estimated at 80,000, U0 bushels less than the short orop in the year of the Russian famine.While the situation is bullish ezuugh to put the price toa dollar the Leara uayit is bouod for 70cents and so far have ibe

Oats were weaker than tl have been for some time.The market bas lacked support all day.Provisions\u2014The market « steady but sagged off on sales by packers.Cash demand has rallen off and this led to

Alderman Drolet, Chairman of the Committes; Aldermen Beianger, Dussault, Leouard, Madden, Norris, Poitras, Reynolds and Savard.There were alec pressnt Aldermen Vinoent, Roy, Drouie, Cantin aod Boievert.After reading the minates His Worship the Mayor said that he bad bad an interview with Mayor Lee nod his Secretary, Mr.Tascherean, of the parish of Notre Dame de Québec, sud that they were then oatside awaiting to be heard before the Committee with regard to the renewal of their contrace for the water supply of that parish, He asked the Committee il it would receive them and the suggestion was unanimously adopied.Oa the entrance of His Wocship Mayor Lee the Aldermen stood up and Mayor Parent iotroduved him snd also Mr.Tascheresu, Mayor Lee theo addressed the Committee, showing noder what diffi cultios those who had the water and drainage introduced in into their hone the Parish of Notre Dame de Québec were labor.jog.His Worship sid that thoes few who had water or draiuage had to pay lor the laying of the pipes, the fornishiog of the material sod te mainteiniog of the same, as well as paying the city tax of 15} per cent for the water.He said that they were su) to pay filteen und a balf per ceut on their rental valuation fur the water, but that in reality it came © to twenty tive per 82000 to the city, all of which was clear profi:, as the city wae under mo expense in supplying the water and drainage.He said that is was rumored that the city wanted annexation smd that he himself would not ba personally opposed toaunexation, as at present he paid mere taxes than be would pay in the city, but im the interest of both the municipality and the city he was opposed to it at present.Of what advantage would it be to the city to annex at present, ho waked.Iv would kill the growth of the parish and the income to the city would be insigmificant, whereas if satisfactory terms could be arrived at the parish woold prosper, and in another five or ten years it woold be worth a great deal to the city.Take the city of Montreal for example, be eid, there they allow their subarbe to grow, and as tbev develop they are annexed Lo the city at a grea: advantage.{a fact they almost keep up the city.in Worship went on to show that many ol those residing io the municipality were also taxpayers tn the city as they carried on their business there.Then he showed that chere was a large revenue derived from the ish owisg to its residents purchasing their dry goods, wioes, groceries, &e , from the city merchants.His Worship Mayor Parent said that the residents of Mount Pleasant Villages had petitioned for sanexstion.His Worship Mayor Les, In answer, said that the village was not cup [a Tih waters or drainage, La wees sprung u| ide sas other with pos more than trom fifteen to twenty-five feet iolerval, each having its out- deer closet, and that it was marvellous how the people existed at all.They wero a curse to the municipality as they were at present nod unless they changed very much they would continue to be so, as they were very sumerous and controlled a large portion of the voting element.Those living in mary of the houses of the said village were proprietors, of course, and had à vote, although they paid less than a dellar, and some only about fifty cents taxes, sod it would, indeed, be a blessing for tbe Parish of Notre Dame if the village was upnexed Lo the city, unless it changes from its present condition.His Warship was sare, however, that the village would not be à very desirable addition to the city ns it was, to which Mayor Parent Mayor Los went on to show No Gripe | When you take Hood's Pills.The sig.obt-fast- loned, sngar-coated pills, which tear you aîtte questing of baying in the Exchange came u) and

the innovation fron the first and fightiog it in two Courts, though in both cases they failed.It was more the middle class men who had to stand all the expense and they were doing so at a great sacrifice.Heusid that if too much of s burden was laid opon them it might stop their using the water at all and force them back to the old well eystem, which wooid be a great pity, as ali the money expended in the introducing of the present system would be lost.The fact that a few families, some sixty in number, had to pay for the system which waa not yet fully paid op and had to pay 22,000 to the city per annum was _esoagh to show the position they were in.His Worship made à very strong ples and it was after wards repeated in the French language by the Secretary, Mr.Taschereau, who also handled the matter in a very able manner.Aldermen Drolet, Norris, Boisvert, Reynolds, Madden, Leonard and others took part ins long discussion as to what would be the most alvintageous way to settie the gestion.Alderman leonard spoke of the difficulties with which the parish had to contend in this instance.Alderman Drolet zpoke in the same strain, and showed that a portion of the Grand Allé- would be shut off from drainage should the water and drainage be cut off from Notre Dame e» it ased the pipes laid down by the latter municipality, and said that they would have to lay = pipe through a rock which would be a great expense to Lhe city.Alderman Norris ssid that the city received this 82,000 revenue or taxes with no outlay and used these pipes laid down by the municipality for a portion of the city drainage and that it would feel it pretty heavily should pbs lose it.After considerable time bad been spent on the question, it was decided to renew the contract from the lst of M :y last for five years at the same rate, with the charge of $2 on every house which had a water closet.Mayor Les worked hard to have the contract for ten years as previously, end it was deciled to continue the contract after the expiration of the first five years for five years more if some foarteen or sixteen more houses had the water works introduced at that time increasing the revenue t0 $2,500.Mayor Lee thanked the Mayor aod Aldermen for their patient heariog, and aaid that he would convey to the Coancil of Notre Dame de Quebec the good feeling which prevailed between that parish sad the C tion of Quebec.A letter was received from.the Sisters of the Franciscan Nunnery on the Gran Allee, asking te have a meter pul io as they were paying more on an average than other reli gious
