Market.The stock market was dull and inactive, and it looked as if all interesting features had been carefully eliminated.The prevailing temper was inclined to be bearish, but, generally speaking, the fluctuations were insignificant.There is nothing giving direct support to the market, neither is there anything positively depressing and the trading is confined between speculators and is small at that.The weak spot today in bank stocks was Ontario, which sold 2 per cent.lower at 994.Montrea} was about steady, selling at 176} @ 1763.To- routo was dealt in at 1653 @ 166.Merchants was easier, selling to a moderate extent at 108.Commerce was a shade higher, changing hands from 119 up to 1194 and closing at 119}.People\u2019s was held higher at 60, with 53§ the best bid.Molsons was quoted at 110§/@112} ; Jacques Cartier at 99 asked; Eastern Townships at 112 asked ; Quebec at 1074@110 ; Union at 674 asked, and Federal at 1224@124.The miscellaneous list was very dull Montreal Telegraph sold at 118 and City Passenger at 118.Richelieu was neglected, closing at 57}/@58%, as also was Gas, closing at 178@178}.In other stocks there was no business.Intercolonial Coal was quoted at 30/@40;

Erie } to 28} ; and Illinois Central } to 137.4 Yesterday\u2019s quotations for other securities were: New York Central, 116} ; Pennsylvania, 60} ; Reading, 28%; Mexican Ordinary, 623 ; St.Paul common, 964.Paris advices quoted 3 per cent.rentes at 75 francs 40 centimes for the account, and exchange on London at 25 francs 18} centimes for cheeks.The bullion in the Bank of England has decreased £129,000 during the past week.The weekly statement of the Bank of France shows a decrease of 10,262,000 francs in gold, and 6,313,000 francs in silver.The weekly report of the Imperial Bank of Germany shows a loss of 17,766,000 marks in specie.The Bank of France shows & loss of 10,260,000 francs in gold, and 6,313,000 francs in silver.The London Economist of the 22nd ult.shows that the Bank of England is now in a comparatively strong position and more nearly controls the rates of interest than in previous years.It says :\u2014 \u201cThe stock of bullion is about 1} millions greater than at this time last year, and the present reserve of about £13,000, 000 is fully 12 millions in excess of the amount held twelve months ago.\u201cThe Bank is thus well prepared to meet any demands that at present seem likely to be made upon it, and if only affairs in the East were less unsettled, it might before long feel itself strong enough to lead in a downward movement of rates.For the time being, however, the outside rates are close up to the Bank charge, and they now seem likely to keep closer to it than they have done lately.It is clear from this week\u2019s Bank return that the outside supplies of money are not large.l'hat they are sufficient for the present restricted demand is probable, because, so far as can be traced, the applications to the Bank for udvances have been smaller than 15 en-to- mary at this time of the year.But there must be a small margin upon which to come and go, and so long as this is the case, the competition that beats down rates will be restrained.There will, of course, be a large addition to the outside supplies at the beginning of next year, when the Consols dividends are distributed.But the money then set free will not stay upon the market.It will be absorbed, and that pretty quickly, by the revenue collection, and the probability thus seems to be that, although the Bank may temporarily lose its control over the market, it will not be long in regaining it again, especially if Stock Exchange speculation continues to grow as it has lately been growing, slightly more active.\u201d New York Stock Market.The stock market to-day was irregular.The features were the breaks in Canadian Pacific and Illinois Central, and the gain in Reading and Union Pacific.The 1 tter was very active, and weakened in the forenoon, but later became strong.Reading advanced 1 from the opening, Canadian Pacific dropped 2%, and Illinois Central declined 3% from the opening.Northern Pacifics were stronger, and the preferred stock moved up 1}.Missouri Pacific was irregular and active.St.Paul & Omaha receded § from the opening.Compared with yesterday\u2019s closing, the following changes appear :\u2014 Advanced\u2014C.B.& Q., 4;

the Suburban Train!\" Torento World.Qoroner Lynd, of Parkdale, opened an inquest at Scholes\u2019 Park Hotel at the intersection of King and Queen streets at 11.30 am.The following jury was sworh in :\u2014 John Clark (foreman), John Hickey, Thos.Gander, W.J.Hayes, David Cunningham, Isaac Lennox, II.T.Stephens, Robert Abbs, George Webster, A.Temple, Robert Clare, John White, Carr Simpson, E.0.Winters, John Steele, W.Finan.The jury visited the scene of the calamity and viewed the mangled remains of James White, on whose death the inquest was held.The first witness called was {John J.D.McBeth, who recognized the body as that of James White, whom he saw alive in the oar before the collision.John Rennal, machinist, of Parkdale, testified :\u2014I recognize deceased as James White.Was on the road close to the accident, and saw both trains approaching.Both whistled.I could see the headlight of the special\u2014that is the train running east\u2014about a quarter of a mile distant.The suburban train was coming down grade.I assisted in taking out the body of the deceased from the wreck.He was uite dead then.I work at the Bolt o:ka.Frederick Wood, of Parkdale, deposed : I was on the road close to the scene of the aacident.Recognize deceased as James White.The special was just beyond the holt works wheu I first saw the headlight.The dummy was at the Queen street vross- ing.Could see the headlights of both trains.Before this both trains had whistled.It is just a mile from the bolt works to the crossing.The trains did not appear to try to stop.The dummy gave one long whistle.The special gave two short ones.Don\u2019t know what these signals mean.Did not notice any slacking of the speed of either train.It is usual for the dummy to whistle at the crossing.Think the en- ineer of both trains could see the head- Fen of the other train half a mile distant.James Carter, the conductor of the suburban train, testified : Have been on the same train for five years.Was ten minutes late in leaving Union station.Had no special orders previous to starting frow the station in Toronto.Can give no information as to how the accident occurred.It is not usual for the suburban train to be late.My train had the right of way.Do not stop at High Park station in the morning.Heard my engineer give a whistle just after we passed High Park station.Tt is not usual for him to whistle at this lace.Had heard the whistle at the crossing previous to this.He gave the signal for brakes.I went out to see what he was whistling for, when I saw the headlight of the special approaching.Can\u2019t say how far it was away.It was about 7.30 a.m.The suburban train is considered a regular train.Have no orders to stop at any station on the first trip except at the Hum- ber and Mimico.Question by the foreman\u2014Are the officials on the train examined, or do they report to some superior officer before entering upon their responsible duties each trip?No.We ask if there are auy orders.It is usual to whistle at every public crossing.There was no slowing up of my train until just before the trains struck.jumped from the train.When I saw the headlight I said ¢ jump boys,\u201d and then I jumped.I was in the rear car till the driver whistled.I had not time to apply the brakes.The men who were killed were in the front car.They had no warning of the accident.Have no brakeman on the guburban train.There is a fireman and engineer.We run five trips each way daily.Cannot say how many trains leave Toronto every day on this road, nor how many come into Toronto.John Kennedy is my engineer, and James Gaskin is the firemau.Near where the accident occurred there is a clump of trees, which hinders the train from being seen.I should say it could not be seen more than a quarter of a mile distant.Can\u2019t say what caused my train to be late.The enzine was ten min- ates late in coming from the round house.Had it not been for this we would have been past the bolt works andegn our way to Mimico, and consequently 80 many would uot have been killed.There were forty-three on the train, all bound for the bolt works.[Time table marked \u201c A \u201d was put in.] By this time table the train is due at Mimico at 7 am.Had no knowledge of any train being on the road at this time nearing this place.George Barber, conductor on the special freight [No.146], was next called, but not sworn.Coroner Lynd cautioned him as to any remarks he might make, He said : « [ was running from Point Edward to Toronto.Left Point Edward at 7 o\u2019clock \u2018Tuesday night, arriving at Hamilton at 450 Wednesday morning.At Hamiltou received the order, © Run to Queen\u2019s wharf, Toronto, avoiding regulars.\u201d [Order put in marked \u2018 B°1 have been two months conductor on this division, and about five years altogether acondactor.Had a time table.Was aware that the suburban train was a \u201c regular\u2019 train.Was aware it was my duty to avoid this train.A conductor has full control of the running of a train.I read over the orders to the engineer and he understood what they meant.Theengineman was not accus tomed to this division of the road.This was his first trip.I forgot all about the suburban train, thinking about No.l ex- ress which I expected to meet at the Queen's wharf, and No.15, which I also expected to meet at the same place.It was by this oversight that the accident occurred.Had been running all night with the same men on the train\u2014au engine, tender and two vans.The despatchers ordered the engine and vans to Hamilton \u201clight.\u201d When we got there they sent the engine to the shop to be turned, and the yard master gave me orders that he had no train for me and sent me through to Toronto light.Ifthey had let me run throush the junction cut 1u- stead of sending us to Hamilton we would have run through to Toronto all right.We have to obey orders.It was after the yardman had told me to go to Tu- ronto that we got the orders marked ¢ B.\u201d Got to Point Edward Saturday morning about 7.30 o'clock.After that time was lying in the van till 1 started Tuesday night.Was not under pay during that time.We are working under two different ayctems\u2014Grand Trunk and Great Western.These are confusing.We work on the Grand Trunk rules from Toronto to Point Edward, and Great Western rules from Point Edward to Toronto, To work under the two requires a great deal of head work.The rules are issued from two different departments.The order marked « B\u201d is a usual order to receive.The company do not compel us to lie in trains when off duty, but not being under pay at these times we do it as a matter of economy.Sometimes the men have matrasses, but if so, have 0 buy them themselves.My fireman wae killed.The engine driver\u2019s name is Jeffrey R.Jeffrey.e is a Strat- ford man.There was another conductor brukesman on the train\u2014the usual number.Tueir nawes are D.Shoemaker and J.Moran, both of Turonto.We stopped at Bronte and crossed the ¢ newapaper train\u201d there.Sometimes we are on duty eighteen hours at a time.This is not usual.We have no regular houra of duty.Should have stopped at Mimico tor orders it I had thought of this suburban train.This was all the evidence that was taken.The jury expres-ed a devire to have some of the railway ofticials examined as to the mode of giving orders, etc., and até o'clock the coroner adjourned the inquest until next Tuesday, at 4 p.m., in the Park- dale town hail.Conductor Barber was removed to the county gail after the inquest adjourned.OUR HEALTH COLUMN.To the Fditor of THE HERALD: I perceive in your paper of to-day that the flooding of the cellars in the lower levels of the city has again brought up the question of the city sewerage, which has so often before been discussed.Yon ask : \u2018\u201c Has Montreal a perfect system of sewerage ?\u201d It certainly has not.But that has not been the fault of previous city engineers, but owing to the parsimonious and narrow views of the City Council.The sewerage of Montreal, for the want of proper system not having been agreed upin years ago, has been a make-shifi system.Several of the stree:s which have been extended and built upon on the upper levels of the city, have drains exceeding in capacity the old drains with which they connect.This was not an engineering error, but because funds were not voted for laying down anew drain the whole length of the street.Several streets have only the old wooden box drains, now in a state of rottenness and impurity, and a few streets have no drains at all.The late City Engineer informed me that, in some of the old wooden drains, it was difficult to perceive which way the water flowed.[n many places these wooden drains are in a state of collapse.Now itis frcin these old wooden drains, in which excreta from water-closets stagnantly lies for weeks, that the greatest danger from sewer gas arises.The remedy for this state of affairs is very simple.Let the Council vote an appropriation for a thorouzh survey of the city sewers ; let the level of every drain be taken and its capacity now and for future requirements be registered, and after that is done, then leave the plan and control of the matter in the hands of the City Lo- gineer, without any intermeddling, and I have no doubt but that next year he will be able to place before the Council a plan for remedying existing defects, and present a perfect system of sewerage for this city for all time to come.DANGER FROM SEWER GAS.With respect to any present danger from sewer gas being forced back in the houses by the flood, I do not apprehend such.The danger will be from the cold, damp and fetid emanations arising from the saturated soil of the cellars after the flood has receded\u2014this will be particularly fatal to consumptive persons and young children ; but it will not breed typ: oid nearly so readily as thie sewer gas that 18 engendered in our unventilated house drains.It is a mistaken idea that sewer gas ail comes from street sewers.Such is not the case.The fact is that a four or six-inch lateral pipe, that has no vertical opening for the circulation of air through it, is in itself a small sewer within a house, and cnuses more sewer gas than is ysually found in a mile of a 15-inch public sewer.A great deal has been written about the necessity, or otherwise, of ventilating sewers, and it is a point on which there has been some difference of opinion among engineers.I will mention one case of a city in which there is no ventilation provided for the sewers.The town of Bristol, England, about a quarter of a century since, had a drainage system planned and carried out by Mr.Ashmead, C.E.The city covers an area of nearly eight square miles.The sewers are without any external openings or means of ventilation, the whole of the gutters being stopped.There are five outlets ou the south side of the river, which is at part a tidal viver.It has been found that although provision has been made for ilashing, it has not been necessary to resort to it, as no deposits have been found in the sewers.Ln one elevated district of the city, exp-rieuce proved that where the outlet was exposed at low wuter, a current of air was set up sufficient to drive the sewer air into some of the houses.valve was consequently introduced.The whole of the sewers are low level, having double self-acting tidal valves at their outlet.Mr.Ashmead said, when under examination: \u2014 We do not open our sewers or examine them ; we do not want to go into them, nor do we want to ventilate them.\u201d But it should be borue in mind that these sewers were built under a perfect system as to grade and construction.T mention this statement to show that when the outlet of the sewer was exposed at low water, à Current of air set up sufli- cient to drive the sewer air into some of the houses, and an air valve was consequently introduced, because it is on ae- count of our main sewers being full of water now, and the coutents immensely diluted, that there is really not so much danger from sewer gas as before they were flooded ; but it is from the atter result of the flooding that danger will follow.THE CAUSE OF TYPHOID.I desire particularly to impress on the mind of the public that the main cause of typhoid fever and zymotic diseases is not so inuch from street sewers as from the imperfect house drains (little sewers in themselves), leaky pipes and fou! cess-pits.The public probably will hardly realize the following statemeunt\u2014which, ueverthe- less, is a fact\u2014that there is not oue house in ten in the city of Montreal that is perfect in its sanitary fittings, drains and ventilation.When will this be altered?I fear not until sanitary education is taught in all schools: then future city councillors will become impressed with a knowledge of the vital importance of sanitation, and learn that a human life saved from premature death-if uot worth saving for humanity\u2019s sake\u2014las, at least,a pecuniary value to the city far exceedinga few paltry dollars enforced to make a miserly laud- lord put his houses into a saniary condi tion.F.N.Boxer, Civil and Sanitary Engineer and Secretary Canadian Sanitary Association.HoLLOWAY\u2019S PILLS.-In the

Attempt in the Spring.It may be remembered that shortly after Captain Webb's untimely end, a young Frenchman visited Niagara with the avowed intention of atlempting to swim the Whirlpool rapids.After inspecting the river he returned to whence he came, his last words being \u201c Je le ferais.\u201d Since then the would-be rivaller of the heroic Captain Webb Las not been heard of, but recently a HERALD reporter was advised of his presence in this city, and also informed that he intended to perform his natatorial feat some time in the coming spring.Accordingly, yesterday, the reporter called at the boardinghouse on St.Cathe rine street cast, wherg the young Freuch- man is living, and hot AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION with him on the subject.He introduced himself as Hilario Balsan, a native of Millau, near Aveyron, France.His appearance had something daring aud picturesque about it, as, doffing the national Basque cap he wore, and shaking his long locks, he advanced to greet his visitor.About twenty-six years of age.Very dark, of medium height, thick set and muscular, with a keen penetrating glance, Balean seemed formed for wild enterprises and dare-devil exploits.In the course of the conversation that ensued, Balsan gave the following brief sketeh of himself and the reasons which had led to his coming to this country to attempt to succeed where the luckless Webb had failed.Balsan stated that he was one of A FAMILY OF SIX BROTHERS ; that he was a native of Millau, and that it was in the river Tarne, that flows past his birthplace, that he had learned to almost live in the water.At the age of sixteen a curious experience befel him.Whilst bathing in the Tarne with some other boys he had dived into a deep hole that was supposed to be unfathomable, and, on rising, found himself, to his surprise, in a eave, the existence of which he had not previously suspecied.In this place he had remained for twenty-four hours, and when he emerged, had found his relations and friends mourning him as dead.The greatest exploit which he had ever achieved was probably the swimming of the eascade of the Saut de Sabo on the Tarne, between Millau and Albi, Here, after running the dangerous RAPIDS OF THÉ RASPES in a canoe he had jumped into the water and been carried over the Sabo falls, one hundred feet in height, falling into the boiling vortex at the base, and successfully swimming through the rocky torrent to a landing place some distance down the stream.Since then Balsan said he had swam many rivers and along the roughest sea coasts.About four years ago he met Capt.Webb at La Rochelle and had a friendly swim of twenty miles with him from Isle de Re to Arpani.He then formed the opinion that Webb, although a fine swimgper, had not much endurance under water.At the time of Capt.Webb's death Balsan was in Paris, and there enjoyed the patronage of a well-known French nobleman, a thorough sportsman and patron of the turf.It was while discus sing Webb\u2019s fatal swim that Balsan formed the determination of attempting the same feat.In this, he was undoubtedly spurred on by an intimation from his noble patron to the effect that THE SUM OF 50,000 FRANCS would be given tovany one who might accomplish the feat.Balsan seemed unwilling to enter into any explanation concerning this arrangement on account of the death of the noblemang which occurred since his arrival in tiffs country.However, whether any reward&was offered or not, does not affect the fact that Balsan shortly atter sailed for America, and on the 29th of August last presented himself at Niagara Falls with the avowed intention of swimming the rapids.He inspected them narrowly, and as he remarked, was only prevented from attempting the feat then and there, by a notice served on him warning him that forcible means would be taken to prevent his entering the river.As he had hoped to have attracted a crowd and also to have MADE BETS ON THE EVENT, this notification completely upset his plans for that time and he returned to New York.About two weeks ago he arrived in this city and has since been working in Galibert & Sons\u2019 kid leather manufactory, 231 St.Catherine street.Balsan assured his visitor that lg had not by any means given up the sci®me.Owing to the illness and subsequent death of his patron he had been forced to postpone the trial, but he had utilized the time in endeavoring to remove the obstacles that lay in the way.He had made friends with a number of influential gentleman who had assured him that he would be allowed to attempt the perilous task without hindrance.THE MISTAKE WEBB MADE, in Balsan\u2019s opinion, was to try and swim through the immense waves of the rapids.For his part, when making the atteinpu he would keep close to the Canadian shore, and when reaching the rapids allow himself to float along the surface.No doubt he would be tossed about like a cork, but that would be safer than risk being crushed by unseen boglders.He expected to come to the surfacË to breath once in every minute.In less than five minutes he would be through the whirpool.Therefore, if he eould come to the surface five times in the passage through he would be safe.The only point to fear was the first \u2018rush to the rapids.There was great danger, he admitted, but the chances were in favor of a cool head and a good pair of lungst- Balsan said that he did not rely on his skill as a swimmer, but rather on the power of his respiratory organs\u2014he could hold his breath for one minute and a half easily.When asked what could possibly BE HIS OBJECT for thus rushing on an almost certain death, Balsan made answer that it was partly for gain and partly to make a reputation for himself as a swimmer.He said that he had never swam in this country et and that his first exhibition feat would Le the breasting of the dreadful rapids of the Niagara.\u2018Lo give an instance of Balsan\u2019s great strength it may be stated that eince his ar- vival in this country he single-handed checked a pair of runaway horses, thus saving the lives of some children who were in the vehicle.IMPORTANT

Metres, &o.In the last report of the Superintendent of the Water Worka,that official makes mention of the fact that the waste of water from the reservoir is not eo large as it has been, and also that a number of leakages have been discovered and attended to.Looking at this statement superficially it might be supposed that the waste, at the present time, was very small owing to the efforts of the officials of the Water Department, and also that they are aware of just exact ly where the leakages existed.If Tue HeraLp reporter who interviewed Mr.Le- sage on the subject yesterday afternoon had previously held any such idea it was speedily dispelled, for, after a lengthy conversation, with that gentleman, it became evident to him (the reporter) that not only was the daily waste from the reservoir euormous, but also that neither the superintendent nor any of the officials had the slightest knowledge of exactly why the waste was going ou, nor any plan to suggest by means of which such leakage could be prevented.From the two last reports compiled by the Department oun the subject of the consumption of water, shown to the reporter, by Mr.Lesage, it would appear that a test was made on the night of November 4th last to endeavor to approximate the quantity of water that was actually wasted.Beginning at about eleven o'clock at night, when the only water that might be supposed to be running in the ciyy was that in the drinking fountains, which should not exceed 200,000 gallons per 24 hours, a large tank, the exact holding of which was known to a gallon, was filled, and all other outlets from the reservoir shut off.\u2018The ettect of this would be that the whole city was supplied from the tank alone.Nine tests were made in this way during a period of tour hours, and the result showed au astouishing excess of a flow of 6,831,000 galions per day over what might have been expected.The figures taken at the reservoir showed a daily consumption of 11,000,000 gallons, so that if à quantity equal to nearly 7,000,- 000 every 24 hours escaped at a time when everyone was supposed to be in bed, and all factories shut down, the inference would be that only 4,000,000 gallons was actually consumed by the citizens, the balance being pure waste.The report concluded by stating that it was obvious that a waste of water took place either from defective fixtures in the houses, from carelessness, leakages in the mains, or from a combination of these canses.In view of the above alarming waste, the whole staff of officials of the department were put to work to try and find out where the leakages existed.Houses were visited, the fixtures examined, and certainly a number of leakages were detected in this way.Some leakages were found in the street pipes and looked after as well.Besides this, an inspection was made by night, when an instrument called a waterphone was brought iuto use in order to detect leakages in houses.The patrol 1m carrying out this plan would stop in front of a house at night, unscrew the service box fitted into the sidewalk, and by applying the water- phone to the pipe and listening intently, any trickling of water from the fixtures in any part of the house could be plainly detected.In this way a number of leakages were suppressed.On the night of the 25th of November, anofher test was made at the reservoir in exactly similar a manner to the previous one.This showed an excess of 6,356,000 gallons, being a decrease of nearly 500,000 gallons over the first test.The importance \"of this decrease was, however, somewhat depreciated by the fact that in the interval all the fountains in the city had stopped running, and all the known leaks been attended to.Replying to a point blank question put him by the reporter, Mr.Lesage candidly admitted that at the present time there was about 6,000,000 gallons of water daily going to waste, the cause of which they were unable to arrive at.Nor did he see any way by which to check or curtail this wholesale depletion.The combined intelligence of the department had been brought to bear upon the matter, but so far in vain.This waste, it is true, Mr.Lesage said, did not entail any additional expense upon the city as no coals were needed for engines to pump the water into \u2018 the reservoir, water power alone being used, but the trouble, he said, would lay in the future, when, as the city increased in size, new reservoira would have to be built ata great expense long before they were actually needed, simply because of this unaccountable leakage.The reporter then drew Mr.Lesage\u2019s attention to the fact that the citizens were grumbling most vigorously at the, as they considered it, exorbitant price of water, and asked him the reason for the high price of this necessity of life.The Superintendent\u2019s reply was concise and practical, being to the effect that there wasa debt on the city of $6,000,000 for the construction of the worke, this at 6 per cent.showed an interest of $360,000, which,with the cost of administration amounting to some $70,000 more, must perforce be paid out of the revenue derived from the water tax.The revenue this last year wasa little over $400,000, and the balance would have to come out of some other source of revenue accruing to the city.The debts of the city, Mr.Lesage explained, were consolidated, so that if the water tax did not pay the revenue some other tax would have to be called upon.Mr.Lesage was strongly of the opinion that the water tax ought to go into the common tax and be paid by each landlord when he settled his property tax, and the latter could then add it on to the tenants\u2019 rent.If this was done the department would not be obliged, as it was now, to demand $3 in a Jump from some poor man and if he cannot pay up at once cut his water off.In order to make this plan work well a law would have to be made by which a landlord on mere complaint to the Recorder could have a tenant ejected immediately for non-payment of rent.This plan would work well, Mr.Lesage thought, for both landlords and the Water Departinent, as the former would not have to wait six months tô get rid of a tenant, as was now tle case, and the latter would not constantly find themselves at a loss owing to the positive inability of the poor man to pay his tax.The conversation having turned on the question of water metres as a means of avoiding waste of water, Mr.Lesage said that in all large factories and places where water was used as a part of the business, in hotels, hospitals and large 1nstitutions, metres had been placed, and in such places only the Department received a full value for the water used.The placing of raetres in every house would, bowever, he considered, be impracticable, because in the first place the poor man would so economize as to refrain from using water for washing purposes altogether, and be gides that water should be free to all.Another reason against placing metres in the houses of poor men was that they would speedily get out of repair, and might be broken or made away with.After a few desultory remarks on other matters relating to the water supply, the reporter thanked Mr.Lesage for the information he had given him conceruing this important subject, and withdrew.LAW INTELLIGENCE.Superior Court.Frivay, 4th January.JUDGMENTS.By the

described as a favorable one for the purchase of articles pertaining to household wants.That is to say the selection of stock offered was poor, especially of vegetables ad fruits.To account for the present meagre supplies of garden produce is not difficult, seeing that the heavy state of the roads prevents many sellers from coming to the city.This, however, will be remedied as soon as the weather becomes settled.With regard to prices generally they are not much cheaper or dearer than is usually the case at this season, excepting in fish, haddock having sold up to 10c per pound under a temporary scarcity.Potatoes range from 60c/@80c per bag as to quality, the higher figure for choice Early Rose.Beef and mutton were in good supply.Prime cuts of the formerare worth 18e per lb.while mutton sells al 10c@l2c.There were no fresh butter or eggs on the market, but there was enough tub butter, which sold at 18c@23e%per lb.as to quality.Prices of poultry are steady.Chickens 60c@75c per pair ; fowls 70c@ $1 per pair; turkeys $1/@$1.75 each ; ducks 80c/@$l per pair; and geese 90c@ $1.50 each.EPPS\u2019S COCOA.\u2014GRATEFUL AND COMFORT ING.\u2014** By a thorough knowledge of the

Early ye teriay moining, to the graut Joy of every one interested, the flood began to abate, the water iu the cellars gradually falling about six inches.This abatement was very gradual, and ceased altugether when night came on.Geueral satisfaction, however, was felt at this slight relief, as it was generally supposed that the worst was over.The exact amount of damage inflicted upon property can hardly be estizoated until it is seen whether tire submerged articles have been totally damaged or not.The aggregate loss must be large, though it is doubtful whether the exact amount will ever be known as those who have sutfered loss are loth to admit the fact.Itis known that large quantities of sugar, flour, batter, cheese, hay, fish, boots, shoes, and wines, have been badly damaged, and tobacco, vegetables, molasses, leather, liquors, beer and chinaware more or less injured.Then numerous factories have had to shut down, thus throwing about 1,500 hands out of work.This, together with the damage to household property, furniture and effects, must bring the total loss up to u high figure.The cold snap of yesterday caused ice to form in parts of the tlooded districts, causing much additional discomfort.Fortunately no accidents have happened to life or limb, although some mysterious footsteps in the snow at Point St.Charles would make it appear as if seme one had slipped into the river.Abeut noon yesterday the ice-bridre formed between Longueuil and Hochelaga, and an adventurons | farmer crossed it with a load of hay in safety, The damage in the viiluges on the other side of the river has been considerable, though nothing to compare with that suffered by the city.ANOTHER RAILWAY ACCIDENT.Rear Collision on the Canadian Pacific at St.Martin\u2019s Station, The accident which took place on the Canadian Pacific Railway at St.Martin's Junction on Thursday afternoon, and to which we referred briefly yesterday, was fortunately not attended with any loss of life or serious damage to property.The Ottawa express, which consisted of the parlor car * Carillon,\u201d a first and second class car and two engines, left this city for Ottawa at 4.30 pan.The track was very heavy, owing to the snow, and on a stop being made at St.Martin\u2019s station to let out two passengers, it was found that the train was unable to proceed owing to the drifts.Knowing that the St.Eustache local train, which left Montreal ten minutes after the Ottawa express, and was due at St.Martins seventeen minutes later, was behind, the conductor of the Ottawa express sent back a flagman to stop it.The wind, however, was blowing so furiously, and the snow driving so thickly that the driver of the St.Eustache train did not see} the danger flag and ran right into the parlor car \u2018\u201c Carillon\u201d which was at the rear of the Ottawa express.This car contained a number of passengers, some of whom were injured, and «il were considerably shaken.At the time of the collision the moving train was not going faster than at the rate of six miles an hour, but even at this low speed the shock of so heavy a body was very great.The rear of the ¢ Carillon\u2019 was badly smashed, and the first and second class passenger cars considerably damaged, the latter being partially telescoped by the former.The locomotive of the St.Eustache train was also slightly damaged.None of the injuries to the passengers were of a very serious character.Dr.T.Sterry Hunt, of this city, who was in the parlor car, had his tace shghtly cut.Capt.R.C.Adams, of Montreal, nad a rib fractured.A.R.Shewan, commercial traveller, of this city, was slightly wounded on the forehead, jaw and thigh.Donald Young, commercial traveller, of Montreal, was bruised about the head and had his check cut; Ww.J.Warren, a steam fitter in the employment of the C.P.RB.Company who was 1n the first-class car, had his wrist cat.Madame Monette, of Lachute, had a foot severely sprained.Marie Prevost, aged 12, a daughter of Mr.Prevost, advocate, of this city, had a scalp wound.Mrs.Bradford, of Lachute, had à sprained leg.N.Perrier, fireman of the St.Eustache train, bad one of his eyes injnred and one of his legs bruised.Itis thought he will lose the eye.A.Smardou, driver of the same train, had his leg braised.Francis Mallette, à passenger in the second-class car, was burnt by the stove and bruised.Dr.J.B.McConnell, of this city and Dr.Meagher, of Ottawa, were on the train and at ouce attended to the wounded passengers.It was several hours before assistance could be obtained from Montreal, and then thoseÿ who were uninjured or who wished to proceel on their journey were taken forward.Those of the injured who belonged to Montreal preferred to return, but thiey did not arrive in the city until after daylight yesterday morning.The company intend to hold an investigation to see on whose shoulders the res- onsibility of this affair should rest.his accident is alu.cst precisely similar to one which occurred on the Intercolonial Railway not many months ago.That occurred in the night, in a blinding snow storm, the down passenger train being detained at a station by want of steam, owing to the dreadful weather, was run into by the engine of a working train.Four men in the latter were killed by the escape of steam caused by the collision; those on the passenger train were merely bruised.In that case the flag man had been sent back with a red light, and had placed torpedoes on the track, but owing to the areadful weather the lights were not seen and the explosion of the torpedoes was not heard.Mr.Prayer, of the C.P.R., went out in a special train to St.Martin\u2019s station as soon as the news of the accident reached the city, and rendered all the assistance in his power to the injured, as did also Mr.Coleman, the station agent of the company, and his wife.CARNIVAL NOTES.The Hon.J.P.Sanborn, Speaker of the House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island,

Secretary-Treasurer.The monthly meetings of the Board will be held on the first Tuesday of every month.THE REV.E.D.WINSLOW.\u201c A gentleman who does business in Buenos Ayres,\u201d says the Washington correspondent of the Sunday Herald, gave me the other day many interesting details in regard to E.D.Winslow, the Boston forger, who is mow such a prominent figure in that South American city.His present name, ag many readers know, is W.DD.Low, a name assumed by him on his arrival in Uruguay.do not remember ever to have heard of a more interesting and romantic career than his.Winslow was dropped out of the navy in 1869, having served as a chaplain in 1864.His newspaper and other enterprises in Beston, which were cut short by the discovery of his forgerles, occupied him for three or four years, and his present career dates, I believe, from about the year 1875 or 1876.Since his arrival in Buenos Ayres fortupe seeins to have smiled upon his every endeavor, and, although his former record is well known, he is treated as a reputable person, and is regarded as one of the most successful men of the place.Almost immediately on his arrival in Buenos Ayres, he succeeded in borrowing money sufficient to establish his newspaper, the Daily Herald.\u2018l'his has been à success from the start, and is now published in French and Spanich, as well as in English, This isa Sunday paper as well as a daily, and Mr.Wiuslow\u2019s homilies in his Sunday edition are said to be as good reading as the latitude of Buenos Ayres affords.He has become the owner of a handsome block of buildings, drives the best pair of horses in Buenos Ayres, which, by the way, is a city of 500,000 people, and lives in a handsome quinta on the outskirts.He has a telephone from his business office to his resi- ence, and does must of his editing there.Soon after his arrival in Buenos Ayres he succeeded in marrying & young woman, and went to England on his wedding trip, but remained there but a short time, for fear of an application from the United States for his extradition.My informant says that since he has been in Buenos Ayres he has been to Europe twice on important nissions for the governmen of that country, and that he has the entree at the President's house, where he even takes precedence of the President's ministerial advisers, who are obliged to wait until his business is done before they go in todo theirs.He is so powerful that he would have no difficulty in breaking down any person whoshould undertake to expose or oppose him, and no one cares to doit.He is a member of the principal club of the place, and is personally intimate with the American minister.He has experienced only one rebuff since his residence in that country began, which was his expulsion from.the church oun account of the disclosure of his base treatment of his first wife, whom he abandoned to penury in Massachusetts.It is said that he has not manifested any dispesition to pay off the accounts realized out of his forgeries in Boston.His credit in Buenos Ayres is said to be exceedingly good, and rominent merchants are always ready to end him all the money that he wants.If this is not a remarkable career, then I never heard of one.\u201d ON THIRTY DAYY TRIAL.THE VOLTAIC BELT Co.,Marshall,Mich.,wil send Dr.Dye's Celebrated Electro-Voitaic Belts and -Électric Appliances on trial

state of things revealed by the statistics, show no disposition to \u201cbear\u201d the commercial interests of the country.On the contrary, while reviewing, impartially and ably, the difficulties which have presented themselves in the commercial situation in the United States, they point out the latent resources of the country, the forces which are operating to create or embarrass trade, and the excellent reasons which exist for counting upon renewed confidence and prosperity.These comments\u2014which we quote in full, both as information and encouragement to our Canadian readers\u2014apply to à considerable extent to the Dominion as well.They should be read by every one who desires to master the situation in the States :\u2014 That over nine thoueand traders have failed during the year 1883, is a circumstance of marked eignificance.The number is greater than in any year since 1878, which was the culminating point of five years of depression and liquidation, succeeding the panic of 1873.As compared with 1878, the circumstances of 1883 widely differ.It would have been impossible 10 expect anything else but disasters in 1878 as the result of many years of lors, depreciation of assets, and exhaustion,with à restricted trade, à universal want of cou- fidence, and, above all, the impending repeal of the national bankrupt law, which fact caused hundreds in business to fail because of their anxiety to avail themselves of a clearance from indebtedness which previous years of misfortune had rendered them unable to discharge.In 1883 a vastly different condition of things is found.The country is in the highest degree prosperous, s0 far as productive forces are concerned.The development of large portions of the continent has gone forward with great rapidity in the West and in the North-West, while in the South a steady growth of material prosperity is everywhere visible.There are no disturbing litical elements, and the financial prob- ems which formerly threatened the country seem to be working themselves out without agitation or loss.Succeeding several years of unwonted prosperity, large immigration, and great growth, the start ling fact presents itself that, in the midst of all this, teu thousand failures occur in twelve months.It indicates that entire safety in busimess is not always coincident with largely increased trade, augmented productive forces, and the presence of all the conditions of a generally widespread prosperity.Under such circumstances, the inquiry is a most anxious one as to what is the actual business outlook for the opening year.If, with all that has happened in the past of a favorable character, disasters of such magnitude have occurred, what 18 to be expected with the loss of confidence which these calamities have caused, with restricted credit accommodation, lessened business, and the steady depreciation iu values which seems to be the daily experience ?These considerations force themselves upon prudent business men, and the result is a very general apprelien- sion, which the foregoing figures tend to increase, but which, when the circumstances are all considered, ought not to seriously alarm the community, or create distrust among bankers and others.It should not be forgotten that, while the aggregate of failures is large, the number of traders doing business has increased in an almost similar proportion.Thus, in 1378, there were 670,000 names reported as in business tn the Uuited States, while at the resent moment the number exceeds 00,000 active traders.Thus, it will be seen that the failures of the past year, large as they are, do not bear any propor tion to those occurring in the worst year for failures in the history of the country ; for, while there are about 50 per cent.mure names reported, the uumber of casualties is not largely in excess of those of 1878.It 1s true that, as compared with 1830\u2014an exceedingly prosperous year, when there were less than 5.000 failures\u2014 they are about double in 1883 ; but the la-t three years have witnessed a greater increase in the number of people who have gone into business than any three years in the history of the country.This circumstance alone will account in no small degree for the excessive number of small failures, so that we are not oniy now reaping the harvest which was to be expected from the undue expansion of 1880, but also all the results of fierce competition, unfortunate speculation outsule of legitimate business, inexperience, and, above all, the results of over-production, which really seca to be the chief cause of numerous disasters.Unlike previous years in which mercantile casualties have been most numerous, the country, far frem presenting symptoms of exhaustion, seems to lack no single element contributory to its great growth and prosperity.If, by a departure from legitimate business principles, the disasters which are chronicled have occurred, the remedy lies within comparatively easy reach.Numerous failures ought to some extent lessen the competition hitherto prevailing, and if unwise settlements are avoided, another source of trouble will cure itself.Speculation in stocke, grain, oil, aad other products has been so unfortunate that this untoward eiement has largely diminished, and the troubles which have been directly the result of this tendency will lessen largely the disposition for ventures outside of ordinary business, while margius lost or locked up deplete the ability of those having inclinations to speculation to assume even ordinary business risks which might eventually prove too great for their capacity.The difficulty of securing capital for almost any kind of enterprise will lessen the liability to lock up money which in ordinary times would be put\u2019 out of reach.As toover-production, the general feeling is that 1t can be regulated by concerts action, in which direction there is a growing tendency.Legislation Is probable which will have the effect of lessening the burdeus of trade, and make available to some extent the markets of the world to our commerce, so that what in most countries would be regarded as an element of the greatest prosperity\u2014the power to pro- duce\u2014may, in the course of events, become a real benefit rather than what it now appears to be\u2014a hurtful cireumatance.Carefully reviewing the whole field in the light which the experience of the year sheds upon the situation, the disasters which we chronicle may be made the means of bringing about a much improved condition of things.The country in itself is sound, and the ability of consumers to absorb and pay for their wants, and even their luxuries, cannot be questioned.The single circumstance that the mortgage indebjedness on the farms of the United States has decreased 75 per cent.is full of the utmost significance.In a ceuntry whose chief element ot strength is founded upon the prosperity of the agricul tural community, this fact is of high import, as not only indicating the welfare of the farmers and planters themselves, but a prosperous condition for the enormous number of people dependent upon them.On this basis the country trader ought to be in a much improved condition, and but for the injudicious expansion of credits, there is no class in the community which ought to be safer to trust than the rank and file of country storekeepers.In centres dependent upon manufactures, a somewhat different condition exists, and great care is needed in transacting business in these quarters, having in view the large number of partially or wholly unemployed workmen, and the necessity that exists for a re-distribution of manufacturing forces to meet the exigencies of the hour.It need not be long, however, before a much :mproved condition of business shall follow the somewhat rude intimations winch the past year has given, that some change |.is essential to secure safety, profit, and permanency in trade.À conservative policy with regard to credit, at ail times judicious, was never more needed than now.But a sharp restriction in banking accomodation, aud an equaily illiberai policy in granting extensions by merchants, will be as dangerous on the one hand as an unwise expansion on the other.But with the turn of another vear the realization of the products of the earth, now held in band, together with a moderate amount of profit for legitimate business, there ought to be no difficulty whatever in bringing about a restoration of confidence, a remunerative trade, and the entire safety of our Internal commerce.While, on the one hand, the disasters of the year that 18 closed have shown weak spots in the commercial fabric, which were least expected in properous tiwes, there are undeniable evidences of a stability and pro- - fit existing which few occurrences make public.It is safe to say that there is today in the United States a greater number of successful business men than ever before ; that there are numerous departments of manufacture and trade which are yielding a liberal return ; that corporations of immense wealth, influence, and usefulness are prosperous beyond what they have ever been before in their history, and that monetary institutious throughout the land are on a generally safe and paying basis.The season just ended has been an extremely favorable one for the cattle upon a thousand hills,\u201d taking 1nto the winter all four-footed animals in the best condition, and leaving them dependent upon wiuter supplies, which will thus be saved.The additions to our population by immigration, and the contributions to the wealth of the country from that source have been greater than in any previous year.Sections of the country, which in former years were either unproductive or depressed, are now thriving beyond all forn.er experience.The legis ation, which at one time threatened seriousiy because of its experimental character, is now likely to take the shape of a judicious relief from taxation aud encouragement to commerce.It cannot take a shape more beneficial than by the enactment of a National Bankrupt Law, which, while 1t protects the debtor and creditor alike, will not permit the interests of either to be sacrificed in excessive fees or by huagry officials.With aa infinity of natural resources, with a people trained to develop them to their utmost, with facilities for transportation aud communication of an unequalled character, with & currency secured aud unquestioned, with the national debt decreasing with great rapidity, aod with a surplus revenue so large as to be embarras- sing\u2014with all these elements of a great and successful future, surely there ought to be no doubt as to the approach of renewed and confirmed prosperity.In Canada we can point to a ateady, progressive development of the country in every section in 1883, although greater in some than in others.We have added largely to our population by immigration.While the wheat crop was injured in Ontario and Manitoba, the other crops throughout the Dominion were universally od.We sold more live stock to England, and more of other meats and fish to the United States than ever before.If one or two lines of manufactures were temporarily put back, the great body of manufacturing went on satisfactorily from end to end of Canada, the year witnessing the establishment of many new factories, which are profitably employed.During the year the railway system of the Dominion was extended in a remarkable manner, to the great advantage of the regions traversed and the general gain of the country as a whole.The mining interests of the Dominion also showed profitable development.In fact, there is not the slightest doubt of the Dominion being, as a whole, in a sound, prosperous condition, despite the minor troubles in which particular localities may be involved.It is well to keep this fact in miud, and, when discussing the commercial situation, to remember that to reach correct conclusions on such a matter all parts of the country and all branches of trade and industry must be considered.EXIT VILLARD! It is not very many weeks ago that Henry Villard, the President of the Northern Pacific Railway Co., was one of the most envied men in America.The great transcontinental highway with which he was connected had just been completed and opened for traffic, and he was conveying a select party of tourists, many of them distinguished men from Europe, over his line.The hospitalities of the company were dispensed on a lavish scale and Villard was the central figure of the whole affair and the dispenser of the hospitality of the Northern Pacific.Now he has resigned the presidency of that great corporation and his resignation has been accepted.He is no longer the head of a great company and a public character of great influence and wealth, but a private citizen of broken fortunes, all his wealth, it is said, having been swept away.Villard\u2019s rise was as remarkable as his fall has been sudden.A few yearsago he was a journalist not overburthened with this world\u2019s goods, and the story of his rapid rise to wealth reads like a romance.We do not intend, however, to trouble our readers with the details which are s'mply the old story of sudden wealth acquired by speculation.Mr.Villard grew rich by successful ventures in stock and his wealth has vanished by losses incurred in the same line in which it was acquired.He had hardly returned from his trip across the Continent in company with his guests when the Northern Pacific stock was attacked by the bears in Wall street and hammered down from day to day until it reached a very low point, so low that those who, like Villard, were Jarge holders of stock and who had purchased it for speculative purposes were ruined.The loss of his wealth and the fierce attacks that were made on his management are quite sufficient to account for the severance of his connexion with the Northern Pacific, which will now pass nto other hands.The lesson to be derived from Villard\u2019s fallis that those who acquire their wealth by speculation are likely to lose it in the same way, if they continue to venture their means in a lottery where the blanks aie much more numerous than the prizes.THE POPE AND FENIANISM.His Holiness the Pope appears to have fallen under the displeasure of the Fenian Brotherhood, and according to a despatch from Rome his life is threatened by members of that body.The despatch which contains this interesting information is as follows :\u2014 Rome, Dec.4.\u2014The Pope\u2019s secretary yesterday opened a letter from America addressed to Leo XIII.containing Fenian threats against the Pope should he continue to support England against the national cause in Ireland.The letter states that the protection which the Italian Government gives the Pope, who is now the only sovereign safe from dynamite, will be of no avail against the operations of the Fenians.The Pope is warned that priests will obtain access to his presence and su- tain the cause of the Irish agaiust oppression.As the only support that the Pope has given England against Ireland has been to discountenance murder, we are forced to the conclusion that anyone who disapproves of murders committed in the name of Irish Nationalism is, in the opinion of the Fenians, a proper object of assassination.Even the sacred character of the head of the Catholic Church will not protect him from outrage if he presumes to deny the right of certain Irishmen to murder by dynamite or the dagger not only those opposed politically to them, but any one\u2014be it man, woman or innocent babe\u2014whose death would be likely to cause a pang to the people of England.The tens of millions of Catholics throughout the world who are not Irish, or who, being Irish, are not Fenians, will be interested in knowing the intentions of the Irish Nationalists towards their Spiritual Father.Possibly the cause of Irish Nationalism may be advanced by such a demonstration against the Pope, but we beg leave to doubt it.ENGLAND AND EGYPT.A somewhat sensational despatch, which purports to come from Cairo, states that the relations between England and Egypt are strained and that the Government of Egypt has sent a note to Great Britain demanding that England shall give her final decision in regard to the trouble in the Soudan, and threatening that if England refuses the assistance necessary to TIE MONTREAL HERALD, AND DAILY COMMERCIAL, GAZETTE.SATURDAY, subdue the force of the Mahdi the | feux Aduperiisements, Tier Aducrtisements.Khedive will cede to Turkey all of the eastern Soudan, at the same time reducing the national tribute proportionately and concentrating all the Egyptian trogps in Egypt proper.It is just possible that such a note as this has been received at the British Foreign Office, but we think it very improbable that even the Kbedive would be foolish enough to address England in such a fashion.With regard to the Soudan, England has always held that Egypt had no business there, and it is very unlikely that she will send her soldiers to secure the annexation of a country which Egypt cannot hold without outside help.The only motive that England could possibly have to induce her to send troops to the Soudan would Le to put down the slave trade in that region.The decision of the British Cabinet with regard to the measures to be taken in regard to Egypt will no doubt be made public in a day or two.Miss JEssiE McEwan, President of the C.W.8.A.) writes to the Toronto press that a large number of petitions from municipal councils to the Ontario Legislature, urging an extension of the full franchise to women on the same terms as to men, have been received and forwarded to members fur the respective ridings.Among them are petitions from the Councils of Ottawa, Kingston, God- erich, Thorold, Ridgetown, Welland, Hawksbury, and many of the townships.So the work goes on, but it will be some time before the full fruition of the As- gsociation\u2019s labors is visible\u2014when the lady canvasser will ply her fascinating trade, when the lady * repeater\u201d will duplicate and triplicate her vote for her favorite candidate, when the lady corrup- tiouist will be hauled up for inviting the independent elector to whiskey and cheese, or even for accepting money in exchange for his or her influence in a sharply contested election.These good times are still in the distance, but if the agitation be vigorously sustained we may yet hope to see the time when a woman will be a3 good as a man in an election fight, having like privileges and enjoyments.\u2014_ THE Chicago Tribune not long ago was abusing Canada as an Arctic region too cold foi human habitation.Accordingto that lively journal, Chicago was a second garden of the Hesperides with an ever vernal climate.But we observe that yesterday in Chicago the thermometer reached the respectable figure of 14 below zero, and no doubt if the truth were told it was at least ten degrees lower, for a Chicago man hates to have it thought that it is ever cold there.At the same time it was 17 below zero at Omaha and 26 below at Dubuque.There isno part of Eastern Canada that can beat these figures much.The St.Louis people must laugh at their Chicago friends who are shivering with the thermometer 14 bleow zero, while in St.Louis the air is merely bracing.THE expwiment of a constitutional government in Spain seeins likely to be a failure, and if the Paris correspondent of the Times i3 to be credited, the time seems to be near \u2018when that country will have to choose between anarchy and absolutism.The Spanish Republic was a failure; the Spanish constitutional monarchy seems to be in a fair way to fall to pieces, a fact which is rather discouraging to those who have faith in the virtue of constitutions.THR rumors in regard to the state of President Arthur's death will be heard with general regret.His Florida trip, which was intended to benefit his health.only seems to haveinjured it.We doubt whether the President will be well until he gets back to Canada.A visit to Montreal next month to the Winter Carnival is just what he requires to recruit him, aud if there is any law to preveut him doing su he should have it repealed.ee.THE San Francisco people are ambitious of having 2 world fair in their city and are making arrangements for holding one in 1887.The providing of a guarantee fund of a million dollars for that purpose lookslike business.Such an exhibition ought to be a good one, as it might be expected to draw to it the products of the countries washed by the Pacific in both hemispheres.THE ToRoNTO TRAGEDY.\u2014It is suggested that His Worship the Mayor should open a subscription list in aid of the widows and orphans of those killed in the collision near Toronto.It would be a practical manner of expressing Montreal\u2019s sympathy with Toronto in her hour of grief._\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 WATER WASTE.\u2014An

but merely reproduces ordinary action and speech through various jejune characters without dealing with motive or unravelling in any way the underlying tangle of human passions and sentiments.There has been a terrible outery in London, England, concerning the poor, and, all at once, people are opening their eyes to what Charles Dickens had written about many years ago and George R.Sims has called attention to in later years.Amorst other voices, that of Professor Huxley has been raised against lower-class life of London, and he has emphatically said that if +e had to choose between the career of a savage and that of a London East-ender, he would distictly prefer the life of the sav- This is à serious statement from a Probably Dickens would have said the same thing if the alternative had suggested itself to him, and he knew the East End of London as thoroughly as habit to visit all parts of the great metropolis to age.serious man.Huxley did, for \u2018it wasÿ his watch human action under all circumstances and discover all sorts and conditions of men.Not many'years ago I had special opportunities of visiting the lowest quarters of London, and in ail the stories and dramas of poor life I have seen or heard, I havo never met anything to equal the sights and tales I came across in the pre- cinets of Saffron Hill, Seven Dials, Rat- cliffe Highway, the Minories, and other I have heard it said that Dickens exaggerated some of his low characters ; but such a statement is founded on perhaps a happy ignorance of the reality such localities.of life among the substrata of humanity It is impossible to overdraw the daily misery and crime that exists;

but if the terrible blot o criminal poverty is to be erased from the page of London life, a herculean labor,tha will call forth and tax to the uttermost the greatest efforts of England\u2019s keenest thinkers and best philanthropists, will have to be undertaken on an unprecedented scale.It seems that such a movement is being started.May it not abate, for God ouly knows how great is the need the London poor have of all the moral and monetary assistance of their richer and more civilized neighbors.How often the study and the kitchen are | mixed together in a literary salad by clever The elder men, who are also epicures.Dumas, Jules Janin, G.A.Sala, Disrael and other brilliant writers, have combined gustronomy with \u201cbelles lettres\u201d in THE beautiful and artistic style ; nor is Canada without her votary of the arts of cooking well and writing well, for ¢ Laclede usually has some sweet little recipe realy for his renders 'n his Sa:curday\u2019s column.The Star is responsible for an article, wherein the society young men of Mont real are said to have lately devel- opel into fastidious gastronomical dilettantes, who eat pate de foie gras and drink Pommery, who study cookery books and make fast friendship with cooks, who forsake the duties of the office to revel in the deiights of the kitchen, who are, in a word, young gourmands.Of course the Star is incapable of inventing such a story and there must be a solid foundation for the soft impeachment; but surely La- clede™ cannot be responsible for this great change in our amateur young ventiemen, to whom the horrors of either satiety or bankruptcy are held up as their fearful fate if they persist in their gluttoncus cous duct.Reflect, then, my dear Laciede, before you offer these youthful Sybarites ancther such receipt as the one you gave fog inince-pies at Xmas, or you may send these rival bon-viveurs to their alternative doom of nighunare or insolvency.Laclede, he shut up his old cookery book, And laid his long soup ladle by, And he gazed on his tins with a sorrow(ul look As tears trickled down from each eye.\u201cNo more,\u201d said Laclede, \u2018 shall these critics of mine Declare that our youth go astray Through inordinate love of my dishes divine, Washed down with a taste for Tokay.\u201d Laclede left the kitchen and never returned Though his turkey was burned to a cinder, And all invites to dinners he steadily spurned Andothers from going would hinder ; For Laclede he was never again bon-viveur, But henceforth lived awfully quiet, And wrote Ephemerides with much rigueur On strict vegetarian diet.SAREPTA.COLORLESS AND COLD.\u2014A young girl deeply regretted that she was so colorless and coid, Her face was too white, and her hands and feet felt as though the blood did not eircu- late.After one bottle of Hop Bitters had been taken she was the rosiest ind healthiest girl in the town, with a vivacity and cheers Iesness of mind gratitying to her friends.DEATHS.Tipwarsa\u2014In this city, on the 3rd inst., Mrs, Christina Cox, widow of Alexander Tidmarsh, aged 87 years.Funeral will take place on Saturday, the 5th inst., at 2.30 p.m., from her son\u2019s re sidence, 25 Argyle Avenue.Friends and acquaintances will please accept this inti- matlon.u Heu: Advertisements.C.BERTHIAUME, HATTER & FURRIER, Has a Large assortment of FURS that must be sold cheap.Come and see our Furs, at 152 St.Joseph Street.December 19 Mt Association of Montreal, THE ART CLASSES, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF Mr R.HARRIS R.C A.will commence the SECOND TERM for 1883-84 on the 10th January Next, at 9.30 A, M, For farther particulars, apply to S.ENGLISH, 1m 302 of St.James the Apostle, Choir Master of Emmanuel Church, Conductor of the Glee and Madrigal Society of Montreal.(Late representative of the London Royal Academy of Music and Trinity College, Organist of the Art Treasures Lxhibition, &e.), and MR, CHARLES ALBERT EDWIN HARRIS, Organist and Rector Chori of Christ Church Cathedral.(Late of S.Michael\u2019s College, Warden, the Reverend Sir Frederick A.Gore Ouseley, Bart, M.A, LL.D., Mus.Doc, Professor of the University of Ox- furd, Eng.), are now prepared to receive pupils in the following subjects :\u2014 Singing, Pianoforte, Organ and Theory.Ladies\u2019 Schools Attended.Finishing Lessons and Voice Culture a Specialty.(Examinations held in all the above subjects every Lent.)

From Ashore or Afloat.DELIRIUM.By E, St.John Brenon.r= r t- night, shut up, pigeonlike, in the fourth story of a high house, facing a vast and solitary piazza in Bologna.I had placed mp desk near the window, and now and then, in order to repose my eyes and my mind a little, I raised my nose from the somniferous pages ot the treatise over which I curved my neck and back, and glanced at the broad tract of heaven which stretched itself before me, and upon the arid soil of the deserted piazza, dotted here and there with poor little bits of vegetation and a few poor trees in the centre, whore miserable foliage told of their struggle for existence.My attention was drawn to a window in the second floor of a house on the opposite side of the piazza, all the windows of which were usually closed except one.At this one iron bars had been lately placed, behind which, at certain hours ot the day, the figure of a woman clad in white appeared, usually followed by that of an old woman, or sometimes a man, who drew away tbat which appeared to me an aerial form, and who vanished from sight like a phantom.The distance was so great I could not clearly discern the features, but the figure was tall, slight, and graceful the face pale, the eyes large, the bair fair, abundant, and alwavs hanging over her shoulders, the aspect distressed and mournful.Often at might, when reposing from my studies I would lean out of the window to coo! my weary head, I saw a light shining down there behind the iron bars, and the shadow of a woman coming and going upon the lowered blinds.I thought of Shakespeare\u2019s heroine\u2014a wreath of flowers upon that fair head, and it seemed to me you could find no truer image of Ophelia\u2019; whilst the man, who appeared now and then, if he had not the n n f, h ; il d n ; n e il 11 Desdemona.It often happened that, when deepest in my studies amongst the pages of my treatise, my weary eyes designed, in uncertain lineaments, that white ;figure with the long rich waving hair and the grace- a ful seductive, supplicating movements.I {ance and conditon I should probably always remain ignorant.It was Jlike thinking of the Empress of China.But in spite of my effort that looped back.I took my opera-glass, with ul apparition, and levelled it towards this light.a er der a be candles.woman.and torn blossoms in her hand.!

finally she came (o the window, and leaning her bosom against the iron bars, stretched forth Then across the silence of the night there came a pierc- The long hair, blown by the night air, flew fantastically about her head, the glare of light behind her showing the lithe out frame attenuated Ly The bare, upraised arms came out of large wide sleeves, and the darkness of the night appeared as white as alabaster.\u2018The cry still sounded in my cars, repeated itself, and entered and should I be deaf?What should I do?I had sufficient andacity to introduce myself into the drama which surrounded that recluse, and sufficient courage to face any danger for her benefit.But whilst I was about to abandon the window and rush across the piazza, the man entered the room.He was y«Ung, ta!l, bearded, and robust.The expression of his face, 1m perfectly as I could distinguish it at such a distance, was menacing, fierce, and almost to invoke aid from some mysterious power of the night, The man then took her by the shoulders and triel to draw her back; she grasped the iron bars, but he loosened her weak bold, and putting his arms round her body, A ery, acute, painful, even more piercing than the first, came fiom the lips of the unfortunate woman; buat it was only one cry, for the savage violently placed his hand upon her mouth, stifling every sound.Seeing this act,and witness ing the woman\u2019s alarm, I could no longer contain myself, and leaning out of the window I cried with all the strengthof my They both heard me, for they looked at one another, and turned towards me and my lighted window, which was the only one illuminated at that hour of the night, then they paused an instant.It appeared that from the woman\u2019s eyes shot forth a glance of gratitude, and from the man\u2019s one of menacing ire and ferocious disdain ; still holding his hand upon her mouth, carried her to the couch.The old woman now appeared upon the scene and hurried forward to close the window and lower the curtains.Presently the lights gradually disappeared, and all was silent and dark; once more.This was surely some drama I was witnessing, or some tragedy.That man was ferociously jealous, and that woman was n new Desdemona\u2014I felt like one demented.That last supplicating look haunted me, and the cry still sounded in my brain.It was surely my duty to rush to the assistance of the victim, and without fur ther reflections 1 flew down the staircase and rushed across the piazza.But when I found myself standing under the window I paused, not knowing what to do next.Every place was closed securely ; no ray of light filtered through any crevice; nothing indicated the passionate struggle which had just takeu place there.1 walked to and fro for some moments, keeping my eyes fixed on that window and straining my ears to catch the faintest sound.Nothing! all was still as the tomb ;
