George M.Pullman has suffered reverses in the Northern Pacifie, North River and West Shore securities, and falling of his own stock from 123 to 111 in two months is not calculated to help him much.His friends think they see in the latter movement a conspiracy against his fortunes, and at his residence last night it was stated he had left for New York to contend against his foes.\u2014The following

an application of the Central Trust Company of New York, Judge McCrary, of Keokuk, Ia, has appointed W.R.Woodard receiver of the Texas & St.Louis narrow guage railroad.\u2014The appointment of a receiver for the North River Construction Co.created surprise in New York, although the great depreciation in the company\u2019s stock gave rise to the belief that a crisis was at hand.President Winslow said last evening that every debt made by the company was contracted in its own name and would be liquidated by it.Although nominally it has failed, the assets are more than the liabilities.The receiver was appointed in the interests of the company aud of contractors and others to whom it owes mouey.The only effect of handing a million of West Shore stock over to the receiver would be to keep the stock locked up for a while.W.H.Vanderbilt said that in his opinion this was only the beginning of the trouble for the West Shore folks, and an avalanche of suits against the West Shore might be expected.The road was built, in his eeti- mation, for the purpose of blackmailing the New York Central.The projectors thought they could repeat the Nickel Plate business but failed.Ie saw in all this the signs of better times.People had suffered terribly the past few years from Villard\u2019s, West Shore and such schemes, and sound concerns had suffered also, but were all the stronger for it.The general opinton among brokers was that the market will not be affected by the placing of the Coustruction Company in the hands of a receiver.COAL AND IRON.PHirLADELAHIA, Jan.11.\u2014The anthracite coal trade is in better shape this week than last, because consumers are beginning to discount the effect of the third day\u2019s suspension, which has been agreed upon for first quarter of the year.There were but wo full days work last week, and the production was 320,000 tons.The half-time production this winter will be barely sufficient to meet current requirements, according to the opinion of representatives of the coal trade.Some heavy consumers are confident that prices will weaken, notwithstanding the restriction ; but the market shows more strength than it has done for some weeks on account of the working off of large stocks.The smaller sizes are relatively scarce.The soft cual operators are complaining bitterly of dull demand, low prices and the impossibility of proper organization.Stocks are large at all leading points.New contracts are very rare, aud consumers will hold off on accsunt of the expected heavy output in the spring; hence, the winter\u2019s trade will be of a retail character and at minimum prices.There is now very little demand for hard coal in the West.À few companies are sounding the market in order to hold, if possible, to circular rates; but until there is a partial depletion of the present enormous stock this effort will fail.To-day\u2019s quotations are: For standard pig, $20.50 for No 1, $19 for No.2, $18 tor mill irons, $20 for Bessemer, $29 for spiegeleisen, $34@335 for steel rails, $22 for foreign T\u2019s, $24 for wrought scrap $820.50 for crop ends, $2.40 @ $2.50 for nails, 1.75 to 2c.for refined bar according to quality.Business is backward; expected orders are withhell.Prospects are favorable for heavy business, especially iu structure and forge iron; 40,000 tons of steel rails are called for this week, and orders for mast of this quantity will be placed at $34.50@$35.Prrrssuac, Pa, Jan.10.\u2014There is no very marked improvement in the iron trade of Western Penusylvania.To-day\u2019s quotations are $17.50@$18 for forge iron, 813@ $20 for fuundry, $21@#21.50 for Bessemer.Inquiries and offers have been made fur 500 and 1,000 ton lots of pig iron, but the offers were too low to Le accepted.The largest eales reported were 200 to 300 ton lots.Any further decline in prices 1s generally regarded as improbable, and any further attempt to reduce prices will be followed by a further restriction of production.There is an underione of coufi- dence in the trade because of the fact that stocks in consumers\u2019 hands are very light, and it is generally believea that the demand which has been withheld for two or three months past will be perceived within a few weeks, and prices consequently be firmer.Steel rails are now held with considerable firmness at $35 to $36 at mill, according to date of delivery.There are offers at less, and buyers expect to place orders in a short tune at as low prices as were anticipated during December, Old rails are under active inquiry, but sales are of small dimensions at $23 to $24 for T\u2019s Scrap of all kindsis in dull demand.Nails are a little firmer on account of the restriction, but are selling slowly at $2.40 to $2.50.\u2014New York Journal of Commerce.NEW YORK GENERAL MARKETS.The Shipping List, in giving the spirit of the markets, says :\u2014 The general markets remain quiet with little \u201cprospect of much improvement in trade until the opening of the Spring season.In some departments there is a more cheerful feeling as regards the future, which has for its basis a conviction that the decline in prices of commodities in gencral has been so large that the chances of any further change are decidedly in favor of an advance; furthermore, the production of most leading manufactures has been restricted, and the surplus 18 being gradually worked off, the cost of production is being reduced, and almost everything is tending toward a basis favorable for a more prosperous year.There are some other departments, however, notably the shipping trade, which as yet betray no indications of improvement.Ship-owners and agents are feeling decidedly blue.This might be borne with equanimity, if there was any assurance that the worst was over and that for the future there would be a decided reaction, but turn the commercial noroscope which way they will the outlook is not promising.\u2018The advance of the season, however, will be likely to bring a change for the better, for 1t 1s hardly possible for things to get worse, unless, indeed, we have arrived at a period when the interchange of the world\u2019s products is to be effected without profit.The truth is, the tonnage supply of the world, especially steam tonnage, Las increased faster than has commerce, and is at present clearly in excess of the world\u2019s requirements, leum trade by steamers has created a good deal of alarin among the owners and agents of the heavier class of sailing tonnage, and petroleum freights at the moment are very dull, depressed and irregular.Cotton and wool dull but steady.Naval stores inactive, and barely steady.Hops and India rubber steady but quiet.Hides more active but steady.Leather dull.Drugs moderately active, and arabic gums, opium, Alexandria senna, cochineal and cantharides higher.Raw sugar quiet and barely steady.Refined firmer in consequence of light supplies.Molasses,

share market during the past fortnight is the high figure at which Manhattan Gas i= quoted.The stock is now quoted ex-dividend of 5 per cent.made payable December 15, at 245 to 250.This time a year ago Manhattan was quoted at 212@218.Metropolitan Gas is also considerably stronger, at 195 bid, 200 asked ; the corresponding quotation for 1882 showa the figures of 178@ 182.New York Gas also rules decidedly strouger and higher, asthe quotation of 140@145 readily shows ; figures for 1882 were 110@115.Mutual Gas also participates in the upward movement, being recorded at 123@126\u2014just 20 * points \u201d higher than the asked and selling prices of December 16, 1882.We note a sale at auction, on December 5, of this last named security, 20 shares being disposed of at 122§, and, on Dec, 12,18 shares at 124}.Municipal Gas is a shade weaker, at 188@190\u2014the quotation for 1882 reads, 165 @ 170.Harlem Gas is steady at 113 @ 115, the 1882 prices being 90 @ 95.Equitable Gas is sluggish at 90 @ 93.Northern Gas is at the same as last quotation.There is no disposition shown on the part of holders of the highest-priced shares 10 sell, an advance of 3 points failing to elicit an offer.In city electric shares we note that the Brush company\u2019s stock is offered at 94 ; Edison Electric Illuminating shares are offered at 65, witu no definite figure bid, It could probably be obtained at a considerable concession from the asking price.It must make the majority of electric light investors, we mean those on the outsile, who were bamboozled into placing their money in the various electric lighting concerns with the expectation that gas was to be\u201c wiped out in a year,\u201d as was #0 brazenly asserted in various quarters, somewhat ruffled as to their \u201cfinancial feelings,\u201d when examining a table expressing the ruling values of the shares in the business which is not \u201c wiped out,\u201d and does not appear even now to be at all ready for the application of the \u2018 dampened sponge.\u201d COTTON.New York, Jan.12.\u2014The Liverpool market opened this morning for spot cot ton firmer and higher.Middling Uplands sold at 6d, middling Orleans

were being manipulated by several heavy operators.Upwards of 400,000 bushels No.2 red wheat in various Brooklyn stores were posted this morning as being out of condition, which did not tend to help the market.Wheat in the early stages were excited and panicky, February breaking 2}c from Saturday\u2019s latest.After two o\u2019clock, however, a reaction set in, which carried prices up $c@1}c, the

transactions being heard of, and the bulk of the offerings, about 350 head, were eventually transferred to Viger market,where a fair demand was encountered.Prices, however, are easier and are quoted at 4c@5}c per pound live weight.Several of the poorer cattle remained unsold at the closing of the market, as butchers seem to want prime cattle only.À few sheep and lambs were offered, which were generally of inferior quality ; prices are quoted at $5@§8 each for sheep, and $2.50@$4.50 each for lamb, as to quality.The supply of live hogs was limited, with prices comparatively high, one carload

Poerage\u2014New Plan of Licensing Guns\u2014A Shepkeepers\u2019 Jury Encouraging Theft in Co-operative Stores\u2014 The Sunset Year\u2014Singular Fate of a Great Inventor\u2014Lotta in London.Lonpox, Dec.27.Christmas is usually a scenic glory with as made up of crisp frost, drifting snow, dashes of sunlight, red berries, sirloins and plum-pudding.The very fog, which in London prevails at this season, lends a haze of mystery to turkeys and fat joints that line the streets\u2014especially as the gaslights give a golden hue to the haze like &hat which connoisseurs delight in on an Old Master.This year we had nothing save the, goldeu haze.The crisp frost oame not, nor the sunshine.Instead we bad drizzle, mud, sutamer heat and fog.Indeed, we had to obtain a dispensation from Sir Wilfrid Lawson to burn a little brandy oa the dish to enable us to see the plum-pudding.The sympathy awakened for the indigent and \u201coutcast\u201d class led to more poor people having a good Christmas dinner than probably in any previous year.The New Year promises to be more considerate of their welfare than has been customary.We are going to add the farm hands to the list of electors, so that a greater number of the people can come forward and say what is the matter with them At last we havea poet made a peer because of his poetry.All sorts of comments have been made deterrent of Mr.Tennyson accepting a peerage.So far as they proceed from persons opposed to the oredit or existence of the House of Peers, these objections are relevant.But the general impression of the public, in clubs, and in the streets, in in favor of the illustrious poet receiving the highest honor the State can confer.The one common sentiment is that if the peerage can confer NEW DISTINCTION ON THE LAUREATE, he deserves it.If the Laureate can confer distinction on the Peerage, the peerage.needs it.The abolition of the peerage is mot à question before the country.The: improvement of the House of Lords ; is and itcan only be improved by adding men of mark, of geninis and strong sentiments of progress to it.Iu this respect the addition of Mr.Tennyson to itis a public advantage.His voice in it will ave more influence than that of a great general His will be as potent a voice as that of the Duke of Wellington was in his day.The Standard!one of our Conservative papers, aske what would be the advantage in the eye of fame to say *\u201c Lord Milton \u201d or \u201cLord Shakespeare.\u201d Lut the question is, what would have been the effect on public opinion, if the crown in their day had made this intelligent and generous recognition of the personal eminence of the great blind singer of the Commonwealth, or the incomparable dramatist of the Avon ?That is the question in its political aspect.There was no Gladstone in those days to propose it, and no Queen Victoria to assent to it.Mr.Tennyson believes that he consults the interests of his order by accepting the titular honor, which commands very generally the acclaim of the Crown and the people.Honor well bestowed is still a real thing in England.Me.Bright mentioned, the other day, a lau of ¢ equitable licensing,\u201d which had been sent to him by Mr.M.Q.Holyoake.Mr.Bright, with his usual good nature and shrewduess, says, * the plan is ingenious, but has obvious ditficulties.\u201d One difficulty, obviously, is that it introduces a new principle in modern measures\u2014that of GIVING A MINORITY POWER to enforce their wishes.Sir.W.Lawson\u2019s local option rests upon the decision of the majority in any given area\u2014that of the deviser of equitable licensing\u201d would enable one-fourth of the inhabitants of any town to suppress, or call upon the licensing powers to suppress, one-fourth of the existing public houses there.This principle, avowed in an act of Parliament, would change everything.The plan is stated with vigor and skill by the deviser, and even its principle cannot be said to be a greater innovation upon the rights of majorities than that which the law allows to the Duke of Westminster, the Duke of Argyll, or to Arthur \u2018Trevelyan (the brother of the late president of the United Kingdom Alliance), who suppressed, not one-fourth, but every pubsic house and inn upon his Midlothian estates\u2014uot by the will of one-fourth of the helpless residents, but Ly his own single, despotic will, against which no appeal of argument, nor reason, nor humanity could be lodged.The Duke of Westminster does not go this far, as other dukes and gentlemen do.Publicans would fare better under the °¢ one-fourth principle\u201d than they now do.THE GROCERS AND GENERAL SHOPKEEPERS are as bad as the Luddites.They went about breaking up machinery, and the tradesmen go about trying to break up co-operative stores.Some time ago we had a magistrate who refused to commit a clerk who had defrauded a co-operative society ; and now we have jurymen who refuse to find guilty a fraudulent officer of the Army and Navy stores.In some towns co-opera- tors are numerous euough to sit upon juries.What would be said if they refused to convict a thief who had robbed a shopkeeper?Yet this is the example that the shopkeepers of London are setting their supposed adversaries.r.Paraell, although he has got £38,000 given him, which has been accumulated under British aid and protection, tells us he will give us again a Tory Parliament.This is the same as the trademen\u2019s policy, namely, to destroy all who do not follow their methods of business or politics.Suppose Liberals should, in the Parnell spirit, enable the Tories to rule Ireland in their methods, where would the Land Leaguers be then?Since our Conservatives have condemned all Liberal leniency, the probability is they who condemn forbearance would not practice it, and would disregard what Lord Randolph Churchill describes in his classical language their \u201cyells.\u201d However this may be shopkeepers thus show that justice to others which they expect shown to themselves.Those cannot complain of robbery who encourage it.There should be fair fighting behind the counter as well as in the prize ring.It is hitting below the belt to encourage the thief in your opponent's shop.The auroreal, meteorological, or atmospheric scenes in the skies have given occasion for NATURAL WONDER AND FOOLISH PROPHECIES.It matters little what the prediction is, so long as it is preceded by the scenic splendors of sunrises and sunsets such as Europe has witnessed of late.This will be called the sunset year, for the year is sinking in unusual brilliance.The disagreeable people who will never let us enjoy even a sunset for a day, foretell that they forebode great frosts and so forth.They said nothing about the great wind storm which we fave had.The frost has pot come, and neither has the storm depended on sunsets.At present we rather long for a dash of trost.Frost or no frost, we give glad eyes to the wonderful sunsets and sunrises vouchsafed to us.i There 13 no doubt of it.oot THE REAL INVENTOR OF THB ELBCTRIC TELEGRAPH.Mr.J.J.Fahie, a great eontributor to the Elrcirician, has renerously published the scientific life of Edward Davy, an English surgeon, who inveuted electric tclegraphy before Cooke and Wheatstove.Mr.Fahie proves that \u201cCooke, Wheatstone, and Morse blundered painfully into a fact [of moment] well known to Davy,\u201d of which he had \u201c\u201c a elear perception.\u201d Davy\u2019s first profitable feat was to invent a * diamond cement,\u201d in 1835, when he lived in London, which vrought him in a small wcome, which enabled him to spend money in inventing telegraph machines.e was, lke Priestly, a discoverer of chemistry.He had a telegraph at work 1n Regent's Park.He said 1»essages couid be sent four huudred miles\u2014which wag as little believed as George Stephen- sou\u2019s saying, that steam carriages could run twenty wiles an hour.Davy predicted that the Post Office would one day adopt the telegraph.1t is singular that another named Davy should be a greater discoverer than Sir Humphrey Davy No inventor who has been ignored like Edward Davy, ever so completely pertected his invention.Mr.Fahie says that, till within three years, his machines existed at Ottery St.Mary, where Lord Coleridge has a seat, and were sold as old metal.The family gardener said, it was such a pivy, a8 there Was as much mechanism about them as would fit up a hundred clocks.\u201d When a railway company was about to adopt Davy\u2019s plan he went to Australia, e thought that his inventions, which were shown in Exeter Hall by an attendant, who did not understand them, and could not get them to act when wanted\u2014could be negotiated by a power of attorney in his absence.And so helost a great name and a great fortune.Mr.Edward Davy, this inventor, still lives, inexhaustible in enterprise but ueglected, in Australia.Mr.Easton, holding an oiti- cial position there, is related to him, and Dr.Henry Davy of Exeter is a nephew of his.His invention was wrought out at 890 Strand, only six doors from the office of the Electrician.A life of Edward Davy, the inventor of the telegraph, who deserted kis own invention, has more miraculous and instructive pints than that of Sir Humprey Davy of the safety lamp.DRIZZLE AND MIZZLE have kept the young around the miseltoe, outdoor diversion being impossible London theatres were well crowded on Boxing night, there being no other retreat from the damp and weariness into gas light and merriment.Indeed, it was too uncomfortable for collectors of Christmas ve to go out for them.We have no Rreat novelty in pantomines.That is the only art that seems not to progress.We have Lotta among us, and if her inexhaustible variety does not amuse us our case is very bad.We have had her interviewed by the Pull Mull Gazette and done all we could to make the electrical little lady believe she is at home, G.J.HoLvoaks, ee A CENTURY OF PAINTERS OF THE VENETIAN SCHOOL.In Hon.Justice Mackay\u2019s lecture on this interesting subject _before the Art Association on Saturday evening, His Honor took for his illustrations theghun- dred years , immediately preceding _the death of Tintoretto in 1594, beginning with Giovanni Bellini, and including Giorgene, Palma Vecchio, Titian, (Paul Veronese and Tintoretto.The lecturer gave a brief sketch of each of these famous painters.Giovanni Bellini lived during}twenty-two years of the sixteenth century, and jwas reckoned a great master of his day._ He was a famous colorist, and the founder of the Venetian School.His subjects were usually sacred.Giorgene was a pupil of Bellini, and excelled in oil coloring.One of his best works is \u201cThe Chaldean Sages.\u201d Palma Vecchio was a friend of Titian, and had the same soft, rich coloring and beauty of female forms His works are often mistaken for those of Titian.The latter was born in 1477 and lived to the age of 99.He was also a pupil of Bellini.He worked chiefly at easel painting, and is universally recognized as the greatest portrait painter the world has ever produced.Some of his great works, enumerated by the lecturer, were « Christ and the Tribute Money,\u201d \u201c The Assumption of the Virgin,\u201d the celebrated portraits of Charles V.and Pope Clement Vil.\u201cSacred and Profane Love,\u201d \u201cDanae and the Golden Shower,\u201d and others.Titian\u2019s art is a golden dream of joy unbroken by brusque movements of the which no thrilling note suggesta the possibility of discord.Baul Veronese is par icu- turly noted for his banquet scenes, most of them painted for the refectories of convents One of these, \u2018\u201c The Marriage of Cana, \u2019gnow, inffthe Louvre, is said to be the largest easel picture in the world.Tintoretto was for a time a pupil of Titian, who turned him away, for jealousy, it is said.His greatest work is the \u201c Paradise\u201d in the Ducal palace, which is \u201874 feet long and 20 feet high, and contains 400 figures.Ruskin calls it the thoughifullest picture in the world.Tintoretto died in Venice about «ix or seven years after Veronese.The influence of these Venetian painters, said the lecturer, has extended far and wide, and the seed sown by them has borne fruit, not only in Venice, but all over the world.Their works remain and have inspired generation after generation of painters.e con- ciuded by saying that the world had settled nto the belief that we owe an im- wiense debt to the artists of the sixteenth century, and that the greatest achievements in oil painting were in that century.The glory of Venice, it is said, has departed.Yes, a large amount of glory has departed from her, but the glory that she acquired from her century of painters, of whom I have spoken, has not departed, and never will depart from her.It is gratifying to find gentlemen like Justice Mackay, ou whose time,such large demands are made by their official duties, surrendering a portion of their time and not a little of meutal labor to the gratification of those whose tastes lead them in the direction of art and art studies.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 EprsS\u20199 COCOA.\u2014GRATEFUL AND COMFORT ING.\u2014** By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations

they would have you down or beaten before you had gone a mile.\u201d « Now look here, sir,\u201d said Dan, still quietly, \u201c You just thick this over; and if you can see no other way of getting things right, send for me, and don\u2019t forget, sie, what the old master once said whenl rode Karl for him at Cheston and won.¢ You are a born jockey, Dan,\u201d cays he, \u2018and if you had taken to the pigskin asa profession you would have been at the top of the tree; and if ever there was a judge of riding my old master was ome.If you think the same, sir, old Dan will show you and the Melbourne jocks that his head Lands and judgment are as good now as twenty years back.\u201d ¢ I will think it over, Dan,\u201d I answered; \u201c tell one of the men to pnt the saddle on Marquis.I am going out on the run after breakfast.\u201d My morning meal was nota prolonged one, Trouble is a sad destroyer of healthy appetite ; such dismal cogitations only too often provoke thirst rather than a desire for focd, I felt miserable and jaded as I swung myself into the saddle that bright winter\u2019s morning ; but a man\u2019s state must be bad, indeed, when the spirits are so inelastic as to resist the exhilaratinginfluence of a clear sky, a brisk, cold breeze, and the motion of a good horse.I struck old Marquis with the spurs, and the old fellow, after indulging in one or two wild bounds and a playtul attempt to bolt, came back to my hand, bent his neck snorted, and fi- naliy settled down to that-perfection of all paces, a good swinging canter.My spirits rose &3 the sweet cold air whistled past me, and I began to think that after all, old Dan\u2019s advice might be good.Two things I could implicity rely on\u2014his judgment and honesty.He knew what a horse could do, and what he could not but I had not she same [aith in his powers as a trainer.It I were only sure that Le could bring the horse out fit, in the same perfectly wound up condition as the company he would meet, I thought I would not hesitate.What would it matter if I did lose the few miserable hundreds I should receive aftervsell- ing off ?The money would not be suffi- sient to start me in the way of life I had Leen accustomed to, No, come what may in old Dan\u2019s words, there should be another ¢ flutter\u201d for it, and if I lost, then goodbye to the old, free, careless life, and a stool in a stiffv office or a billet as overseer was all I could look forward to.I did not try to disguise from myself that what I had half made up my mind to go in for, was nothing more nor less than a big gamble\u2014the stakes my all; that I should have to mix up with and try to cir- eumvent, those vultures of society, the books : that if I came out a winner people would think and speak of me as a remarkably clever fellow, no matter what mud I waded through to achieve my end; and that if, on the other hand, my horse or jockey was got at by the knowing ones, or that some fine morning I found my-self foregtalled in the market, I should be set down as next to an idiot, who ough?to be put in an asylum.All this I knew, yet as 1 rode along through paldock after paddock, past the scattered ftucks of sheep and quietly grazing cattle, past tbe fields of English grass in which the brood mares were soberly standing the while their lord and master, a thoroughbred stallion, kept jealous eye on them; past dams and waterholes and reedy lagoons from whence the wild fow! rose in a wild commotion and with whirrings of wings, the determination grew stronger and stronger to take Dan's advice, anu having made up my mind, I turned the Lorse\u2019s head to go home, and rattled back as fast as le could lay legs to the ground.¢ Tell Dan I want him,\u201d said I to the boy who came to take my horse.The old fellow heard my voice, and came running out of the stable, into which he had just induced a trembling young one to enter.¢ Get the Smuggler colt up, Dan ; he is in your hands.1 shall write and nominate him to-night.\u201d \u201cI knowed it,\u201d said Dan, with a cheerful grin.* I said to myself, says I, he ain\u2019t the sort to let a good thing go for the want of pluck ; so drectly yon was gone 1 gets the colt up, puts him in the box, and gives him his dose \u201d I wrote to the secretary of the Melbourne Jockey Club that night & note nominating Mr.Reckless\u2019s b.¢.Tarpaulin, by Smugger for the Steeplechase at the ensning pring Meeting.After which I went to bed actually feeling that peace of mind often experienced wuen a stroke of luck re- Jieves us rrom some pending ill fortune.Yet I had but small reason to congratulate myself.The horse was to all intents and purposes untried ; his trainer and jockey only an amateur who had never ridden in competition with men up to every known trick, and who never lost a chance.Besides granting all things in my favor, long odds horse perfectly tit, jockey good enough to ride for a man\u2019s life, still a steeplechase is of all races the most uncertain.So many things may happen to upset previous cal- eulations before those awful 3 miles of stiffs jurnps at racing speed have been ac- eomplished that such a thing as even a turf certainty does not exist.I knew to much of turf matters to be in bli-sful ignorance of all these drawbacks to uy peace ef mind.Yet I slept the sleep of the just that night, and rose the next morning more light of heart and generally * fit\u201d than had been the case for many a long day.My first visit directly I was up was of eourse to the stable.Dan was there attending to the horse, who had the usual dejected appearance of man and beast when under physic, nevertheless he was a grand looking horse under any circnms- tances.Almost black in color, not so upstanding as the general run of the bride, but possessing all the handsome points for which his sire was so renowned, his only fault that he showed a little to much daylight underneath, but without doubt a more perfectly topped horse was never foaled.That his temper was bad was only to plainly shown by his restless, wicked eye, and the way he stood, with one hoof always ready for immediate action.If ever horse was capable of the apparently impossible feat of kicking thie eye out of a mosquito I should say that Tarpaulin would be that horse, and that he would ac- eomplish the feat with wonderful dexterity and neatness.I told Dan that I should in no way interfere with him.He was to train the horse entirely by his own judgement, and that if he wanted any assistance in the table he could have it.flaving said my say, 1 went about the ordinary =tation avo- eations, mustering and cutting out cattle some of which, having an inkling of difficulties, were rather pressing in their inquiries as to how I was getting on\u2014a question that, under certaln circumstances, may mean so little or so much.To be sontinued.DAKOTA AND MINNESOTA.From the Winnipeg Times.The St.Paul Pioneer Press is devoting much attention to the grievances of the Dakota and Minnesota farmers.Its issue of Saturday contains long letters from practical farmers at Fargo, Dak., Wadelin, Minn., and Owatonna, Minn., which,minus the party politics, strongly remind one of the complaints made at the Winnipeg Farmers\u2019 Convention.The Fargo correspondent says the grievances of the Dakota wheat-grower are * extracting his life\u2019s blood ;\u201d the Wadena man says unless something is done soon, the farmers must drop wheat and take to cattle raising; while the writer from Owatonna thinks that the only means of salvation is for the farmers to \u201c unite and form themselves into clubs and societies and go to work unitedly and intelligently.\u201d This they ap- ear to have done at Wadena.Iustead of olding a quasi political gathering and advocating secession from the Union, they met in 1882 and subscribed each a certain quantity of wheat, with the proceedsof the sale of which they built an elevator of 30,000 bushels capacity.The farmers\u2019 elevator has shipped two-thirds of the local yield of 1883 and the customers are satisfied.But at all three points complaints are made of the high freight rates and the discrimination shown by the railroads in favor of that huge monopoly, the Minneapolis Miller\u2019s Association.At Fargo, for example, the agents of this corporation are cutting the price from 22 to 24 cents per bushels below the price at Minneapolis or St.Paul.The lot of the settler in the Canadian North-West is, after all, a much happier one.\u2018The offer of the C.P.R.to store wheat at Fort William free of charge unti! the season of navigation opens, gives the farmers an excellent chauce to escape from the clutches of Messrs.Ogilvie and Mg- Millan.The new wheat rates on the C.P.R., too, are lower than those of the Manitoba road.It is not possible to prove this by an equal comparison of rates or distances, as the first haul oun the C.P.R.to Port Arthur, that is from Winnipeg, is 435 miles long while the entire length of the Manitoba road either to Duluth or St.Paul is only 390 miles.But the tollowing figures substantially bear out our assertion :\u2014 MANITOBA ROAD.Niche to St.Paul or Duluth, 390 miles, 27 cents per 100.C.P.R.Miles.Winnipeg to Port Arthur, 435 28 cents.Manitou « \u201c6 536 30 « Virden \u201c6 ot 616 36 « Regina © \u201c 792 40 « And while, as has been said, the C.P.R.stores the wheat at Fort William free of charge until spring, the charges at Du- Inth are as follows: For elevating and twenty days storage, 14 cents per bushel; for every succeeding ten days half a cent ; and for cleaning and blowing haif a cent.For wheat stored at Duluth until spring, 4 cents per bushel is charged.It would baffle the most unreasonable agitator to fiud à grievance for the Canadian North- West farmer in these facts and figures.A DUDE AT THE OAR.The San Francisco Post says: Last Tuesday, while five of the Bioneer Club six-oar were sitting in the shell-and swearing vigorously at the non-appearance of the sixth man, who was half an hour late, a well-dressed and modest young stranger strolled into the boat-house and began in- apecting the equipments with great interest.\u201cTil tell you what we\u2019ll do, fellogs,\u201d said the stroke.\u2018\u2018 As No.4 isn\u2019t con®ng, suppose we coax that dude there to take a row and bust him all up ?\u201d The perpetration of this time-honored joke upon a \u201csofty\u201d was received with approbation, and the new comer was, with a great show of hospitality, invited to take the vacant scat.\u201cWell, I don\u2019t wnow, gentlemen,\u201d said the young man, looking at his watch doubtfally.\u201cI'm a swanger here.Ido need a little exercise, thougn.\u201d \u201c Oh, get in,\u201d said No.2, winking at his companions; a little spin will do you good,\u201d and they finally persuaded the victim of their kindly scheme to take off his coat and assumea club cap.\u201c Now, keep vour eye ou me and try to lkeep time,\u201d remarked the captain.\u201cYou'll never, never make an oarsman unless you watch the stroke.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll do the best I can, gentlemen,\u201d said the guest, meekly.\u201cI'm always willing to improve.\u201d The boat went down towards Hunter's Point a couple of miles at an easy, three- quarter stroke, the new comer pulling away manfuliy with the rest, and when they eased off to turn back they were surprised to observe that the stranger did not appe ir to be quite so much blown as they expected.* Now then, young feller,\u201d observed the stroke, with a grin, \u201c try to keep up with the procession.Hit her up, boys.Hard all 1\u201d But somehow the stranger scratched along with the rest, and though the pace was something like forty-six as they passed Butchertown, the victim serenely sawed away, and the boatinan even nnagined that he splashed less than any car in the boat.When they finally drew up to t float, and while the crew was panting for wind, spitting cotton and wiping their dripping faces, the ° passenger\u201d looked around, with a child-like smile upon his unflushed face, and softly remarked : \u201c Why didn\u2019t you spurt her ?\u201d \u201cSpurt h\u2014\u20141!\u201d panted the stroke.\u201c Why\u2014er\u2014what the\u2014er\u2014I say, young feller, where did you come from ?\u201d \u201cFrom New York, gentlemen,\u201d replied the stranger, modestly, as he slipped on his coat and started up the wharf.< My name is Hanlan\u2014 Edward Hanlan.\u201d > HOME ITEMS.\u2014\u2018\u201c AI your own fault If you remain sick when you can Get hop bitters that never\u2014 Fail.The weakest woman, smallest child, and sickest invalid can use hop bitters with safety and great good.\u2014Old men tottering around from Rheumatism, kidney trouble or any weakness will be almost new by using hop bitters.~My wife and daughter were made healthy by the use of hop bitters and I recommend them to my people.\u2014Methodist Clergyman.Ask any good doctor if hop Bitters are not the best family medicine On earth.\u2014 Malarial fever, Ague and Biliousness, will leave every neighborhood as soon as hop bitters arrive.\u201c\u2014My mother drove the paralysis and neuralgia all out of her system with hop bitters ! \u201d\u2014 Ed.Oswego Sun.\u2014Keep the kidneys healthy with hop bitters and you need not fear sickness.\u2014Ice water is rendered harmless and more refreshing and reviving with hop bitters in each draught.\u2014The vigor of youth for the aged and infirm in hop bitters.Prominent English Opinions Upon am Kmportant Subject of Great Valne to Every Reader.The day for pretenders has passed.Men are judged by what they can donot by what they say they can do.The reading public of to-day is too discriminating to be long deceived by the spurious.If an ar tiele have merit it will become popular; if it is unworthty ii will eink into oblivion.For years the people of England and America have put to the severest tests a compound regarding which most ambi {sus claims have been made.Under such ordeals as it has been subjected to, nearly every known preparation would have failed, but this one did not.In England and the United States to-day, it is the most widely known and popular of all public preparations.In verification of which note the following : In September last, one of the English forresters of India returned to London, Eng., utterly broken down and debarred from further service by reason of what the examining physicians pronounced .ncura- ble kidney disorders and dropsy.He was comparatively a young man, and felt de- ressed over the situation, Incidentally earning, however, of the power of Warner's Safe Cure, which has attracted so much attention of late, he began its use.Within three months he was thoroughly restored to health, pavsed medical examination as 8 sound man and is to-day discharging his duties as well as ever in the trying climate of India ! J.D.Heor,y Esq., a near neighbor of the late Thomas Carlyle, Chelsea, 8, W., London, Eng., became very much emaciated from long continued kidney aud liver disorders, the treatment he had sought from the vast medical authorities working only temporary results.He then began the use of Warner's Safe Cure, and on May 15th last declared, I am now féecling physically a new creature.A friend of mine to whow I recommended the Safe Cure for kidney, liver and various diseases, also speaks of it in the highest terms.\u201d R.C.Sowerby, Helensburg, N.B., was obliged to relinquish his professional duties because of a severe kidney and liver com- laint.After using a dozen bottles of Warner\u2019s Safe Cure he says: \u201cI am to-day better than I have been for twenty years and I cheerfully recommend the Safe Cure to all who are suffering from these diseases.\u201d Mr.William Jones, 16 Wellington street, Camborne, Eng., says that he was thoroughly treated in St.Bartholomew\u2019s Hospital, London, Eng., for urinary aisorders and weakness.He used Warner\u2019s Safe Cure and he says: \u201cI am like a new man\u201d 1t cured him of indigestion, troubles of the bowels, excessive urination and nervous prostration.He adds: «1 was taking various medicines for over two years from the best doctors, and all in vain, but after taking Warner\u2019s Safe Cure for only four weeks I was brought from death to life.\u201d Mrs.E.Game, 125 Broad street, London, W., Eng., suffered for years from female weakness, skin eruptions and impure blood, but after using Warner\u2019s Sate Cure, she says: \u2018 My health is better now than it has been for years.\u201d H.F.West, Esq., 16 Burton Crescent, W.C., London, from bis own experience \u201cgtrongly recommends Warner\u2019s Safe Cure to all persons suffering from kidney and liver complaints, as the best remedy known.\u201d Mr.Henry Maxted, 1 Pennsbury Private Road, Wandsworth Road, London, Eng., was cured by Warner\u2019s Safe Cure of enlarged liver, which produced numbness in his left leg, with a dead heavy feeling and dizziness on the right side of bis head.I have recommended it,\u201d he says, \u201cto several of my friends, most of whom have derived great benefit from it.\u201d Mr.W.Clarkson, Hartington Villas, Spital, Chesterfield, Eng., used Warner\u2019s Safe Cure for liver complaint, dyspepsia, flatulence, vomiting of bile, and mental depression.January 15, 1883, he writes: \u201cAfter using the eighth bottle I feel better than for many years.It is an invaluable medicine.\u201d Mr.J.Hiscock, station master, Taff Vale Railway, Navigation Station, was cured of abscess of the kidney, calculus or stone, discharge of pus, etc., by thirteen bottles of Warner\u2019s Safe Cure.\u201cI had long and faithfully tried rome of the ablest medical men in South Wales, in vain, one of them remarking that medical science has failed to find a remedy for confirmed kidney disease.Ile Safe Cure dissolved and brought away about two ounces of stone.I can never praise the Safe Cure too highly.\u201d Mr.Robert Patten, New Delaval, Eng, was much overcome by severe inflammation of the bladder.**I Lad to urinate about every five or ten minutes with great pain and suffering.My water was fall of matter and blood.Both kidneys and liver were affected, and in addition had a bad cough and heart trouble [all presuroably the secondary effect of the kidney and bladder disorder.} He says that after curing his bladder, kidney and liver troubles by Warner\u2019s Safe Cure, his \u201c cough and palpitation are quite gone.\u201d illiam Simpson, Esq., Daughty Mill, Kirkcaldy, N.B., suffered for years from Brights disease of the kidneys and consequent dropsy, His body was dreadfully swollen.His appetite was fickle, he was full of rheumatic pains, his urine burned in passing and was full of mucous and brick dust sediment; his pulse was weak, his heart was irregular in its action, his breathing was very \u2018much impaired, in short he had all the painful symptoms of that dreadful disorder.He spent 17 weeks in the Royal Infirmary, of Edinburgh, under the skill of the best physicians who, having exhausted ail agencies at their command, discharged bim \u201c\u2018 as incurable.\u201d He siwys: \u201c\u201c [ Fa-sed water every hour day, and night, having great pain while doing so.It was nearlv white as milk, with albumen, and when it stood for an hour the deposit was a quarter of an inch thick in the bottom of the vessel.\u201d When in this desperate condition, he began to use Warner\u2019s Safe Cure\u2014the only known specific for Bright's disease of the kidneys\u2014 \u201cI have used twelve bottles,\u201d he says, and his health is so restored that he adds : \u201cI bless fe day when I read that Brights disease was curable, and for so little cost.\u201d Tlie following persons of quality in London and other parts of Engiand, are a few of the thousands who have used and have commenced Warner's Safe Cure, the great specific for kidney, liver, urinary, female and Brights diseases : Hon.Freeman H.Morse, 8 Park Villas East, Richmond.Captain F.L.Norton, Glingall Villa, Lee Road, Blackheath, Kent.Hon.8.B.Packard, 14 Alexandra | Drive, Liverpool.Hon.À.D.Shaw, United States Consul, Manchester.The Rev.C.G.Squirrel, Stretton-under- Fosse, Rugby.Such testimonials from such unquestionable sources prove the value of this remedy, which is sold in every drug store, beyond the shadow of a doubi.They prove that it is the greatest of all modern medi- claes for these terrible kidney and liver diseases.What it has done for one it will unquestionably do for others, and as such it commends itself most warmly to public confidence.KINGSTON, ONT., This old-established \u2018and favorite estab- lighment is again OPEN FOR THE RECEPTION OF GUESTS It has been remodelled and newly fur nished.Bath-rooms and Closets on every floor.The Cuisine is under the direction of an A] Cook.Home comforts and everything to make the Boarder or Traveller happy and contented.Rates most moderate and concessions to Commercial Travellers and Boarders.70 Bedrooms.ARCH.McFAUL, Proprietor.October 6 239 CLASCOW, Scotland.PHILPS COCKBURN HOTEL, 141 BATH STREXT.First-Class, Quietly and Centrally Situated Moderate Charges.| Turkish Baths.Tre MonTREaL HERALD is on fyle at this Hotel.WD 181 July 31 LIVERPOOL.SHAFTESBURY HOTEL, : Mount Pleasant, A comfortable howe for Canadians visit ing Liverpool, with moderate charges Three minutes\u2019 walk from the principal railway depots.Omnibusses to all parts of the city pass near the Hotel.Over 100 rooms.Cab fre from Landing Stage for the Canadian Steamers 2s.B@¥~ The MontreEanL Day Heras taken at this Hotel.duly 4 158 THE RUSSELL, OTTAWA.The Palace Hotel of Canada.This magnificent new Hotel, fitted up ir the most modern style, is now open.The Russel contains accommodations for over FOUR HUNDRED GUESTS, with pas- | sage and baggage elevators, and commands a splendid view of the city, Parliamentary rounds, river and canal.Visitors to the Capital having business with the Govern ment find it most convenient to stop at the Russel, where they can always meet leading public men.The entire Hotel is sup plied with escapes, and in case of fire thers would not be any confusion or danger.Every attention paid to guests.AMES A.GOT, Proprie cr 103 Mav] RUSSELL En.de ISH +: , LOUIS STREXZT, QUEBEC.(HE RUSSELL HOTEL COMPANY WILLIS RUSSELL, President.This Hotel, which is unrivalled for maze, style and locality in Quebec, is OPEN hroughout the year for rleasure and busr ness travel, having accommodation for 50: guests.May 1 103 CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I REVERE HOUSE, Mrs.MoNEmnL, Proprietreas First class Commercial and Private Hotel.Good Sampie Rooms, convenient Herlvway and Steam boats, Montreal Loan & Mortgage Co\u2019, And TRUST COMPANY.INCORPORATED 1858.CAPITAL, - .- $1,000,000.00 Loan money on REAL ESTATE and PURCHASE MORTGAGES.This Company is authorized to actin any position of Trust, either as Executor, Administrator, Guardian, Trustee or Re ceiver.Registrars and Transfer Agents of the Stecks and Bonds of Incorperated Companies.Trustees of Mortgages executed by Railroad and other Corporations.INTEREST ALLOWED ON DEPOSITS.DEBENTURES: Issue Sterling Debentures payable iu London ;

and well worth the price of admission, several of the items being excellent, The curtain rose at a quarter past eight, but long before that time there were no seats to be had, and many were compilled to stand.As a ventriloquist Bert Quecn is above the average, and was freely applauded.Mr.Bairns- father, who was announc-d a8 a celebrated Scottish vocalist, was evidently not appreciated, perhaps because he had a severe cold.Mr.Bairnsfather should omit the anecdote about the Kingdom of Heaven in his introductory remarks, It may be pointed, even witty, but it is out of place.He sang John

some time past à few friends of temperance have been quietly engaged in à movement, having for its object the introduction of Dr, B.W.Richardson\u2019s Lesson Book into the public and private schools of this Province.These gentlemen have brought this subject before the educational authorities at Quebec, and have, free of expense, placed a copy of this book in the hands of each Protestant teacher in this Province, with a label attached to each book, stating it to be \u2018\u201c For the use of the teacher of the district,\u201d and that * Teachers are reccommended to read a chapter once a week to the assersbled school,\u201d 1,098 copies having been used for that purpose.This leaves the use of the book optional with the teacher, and does not fully muet the views of the promoters, but they

examined to-day.His testimony is novel and startling.Sworn he said: I live westward of Pipetrack road.I remember distinctly that on the 26th about eleven o\u2019clock, I saw about ninety men at the head of Parmiters Lane with coats off, armed with pickets and yelling, saying they would have Orange blood, and exclaiming \u201c Coma on, Come on, We gre Ready for You.\u201d They marched up and down, abouta quarter of a mile carrying a flag.About 11.30, my daughter told me that the Orange Society was coming up behind our house.Iran out with my gun to fire a salute, a thing customary with me on that day.The Society not having reached quite up, I laid my gun against the door post, whereupon a crowd numbering about thirty ran down upon me.Bradbury and Lynch were among them.When they closed on me I said \u201c Are you going to murder a poor afflicted man ?\u201d My wife then ran out and got between them and me.Two men got behind her and pushed her up as a target close to me until they could safely grab the gun from my hand.It was a double barrelled gun loaded in both barrels.I immediately received a blow from a picket that Felled Me to the Ground, Some said, \u201cdon\u2019t kill him,\u201d others said, \u201ckill him.\u201d In the struggle of taking my gun it went off, and the load was discharged through the parlor window.My flag of red and white color was torn down.I lay on the ground twenty minutes and afterwards saw the Society abreast of my house.One hundred feet off T saw policemen Doyle and Winslow.Eastward I saw the two parties meet, and saw Doyle raise his hand both to the mob and the Society, saying, \u201c keep back.\u201d The River Head party then stepped back a few yards and fired six or seven shots at the society.I raw Jaynes and French fall.I did not see Doyle use any weapon.I did not actually see the guns, but saw the smoke and heard the reports, I saw Jaynes and French dying, and Shepperd, Cleary, Ash and Nicholas fall wounded.I have always fired a gun when the Orange procession passed my house.The gun on this occasion had been loaded for a month previous, to shoot some dogs which killed my sheep.That is all I remember of the affray.Six prisoners of the Orange party were then brought and remanded for a week, the judge explaining that new testimony against the River Head party having been disclosed, the examinations on behalf of the prosecution would require a few days longer.-\u2014,\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 DELMONICO DISCOVERED Froaen to Death in New Jersey: Newark, N.J, Jan.14\u2014Mr.Delmonico\u2019s body was found in the Orange Mountain woods, near Gen.McClellan\u2019s summer home, at 10 o\u2019clock this morning by two boys, who were hunting rabbits.There were no marks of violence.He died from exposure.Nothing was missing from the body.The identification is complete.The wanderer was evidently frozen to death on Saturday night.Later-Delmonico\u2019s body was found in a deep gully alongside the Northfield road, Orange Mountain, N.J., near Davis Collamore\u2019s place.He probab'y walked off the road into the gully d wing the storm and darkness.Franklin Halmand Edward Bier discovered and notified the police, who recognized it from the pub- ished description and brought to Browers\u2019 morgue, which was instantly surrounded by a great crowd.He had apparently been dead several days when found and was partly covered with sand and flowing water.His watch had stopped at seventeen miuutes to six.The face was slightly bloated, but otherwise unchanged.Itis thought that after leaving the elevated train he went at once to the Pennsylvania Railroad ferry, where he boarded the first train for Newark.After wandering about in the neighborhood where gloves, pieces of letters and memoranda were found.He walked back to Broad street and boarded one of the horse cars running between Newark and Orange.It is probable that he did not know in what direction he was going and when the car arrived at the terminus of the road he walked in a dazed condition along Northfield road and wandered off into the woods.The night was intensely cold, the temperature descending nearly to zero.Benumbed by cold he probably lay down to sleep and was frozen to death.As soon as the finding of Delmonico\u2019s body was announced John Hoey and J.McMara went thither in a special train, identified the remains and brought them to New York.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 am HIS SISTER'S AVENGER.Trying James Nutt for the Murder of Dukes.PITTSBURG, Jan.14.\u2014The trial of Jas.Nutt for killing Dukes was commeneed this

sanguine that Nutt will be acquitted.The judge threatened to commit the presentor of the next bouquet to the prisoner in the court room.One of the * jurors ascertained that he was in the war with the late Capt.Nutt, and was on a court-martial with him.A young lady from Uniontown, an intimate friend of the Nutt family, attending the trial said to-night she hoped Jim Nutt would be convicted and sent to penitentiary, as she feared that if acquitted Dukes PHILADELPHIA, Jan.14.\u2014The annual report of the Reading Railway shows that there is a surplus of $2,137.000, which will allow of seven per

& Philadelphia, The stockholders of the Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia this afternoon elected G.Clintun Gardner President.The net earnings of the road for the year ending September 30th were $1,315,000.The New York Railway Commission.ALBANY, N.Y., Jau.14\u2014The report of the railroad commission says that there are upwards of 6,500 miles railroad in New York State, and the commission has had every road most thoroughly inspected in the interest of the public.The re- pot shows that nearly 1,000 people were illed or severely injured in the operating of the railroads during eight months of last year.A Savannah Cetton Failure.SAVANNAH, Ga., Jan, 14\u2014Nisbet & Co., cotton merchants, have failed.Liabilities exceed one hundred thousand.The decline in cotton is the cause of the

last three months of 1883 of $183,000 compared with the same period in the preceding year.So small a per cent.reduction indicates that the department will be in receipt of revenue sufficient to meet the expenses of the present fiscal year.y New York Stocks Close Weak, New Yonk, Jan.14.\u2014Railroads quiet; stocks clused week.The Post says the great point of interest not only in the bond market, but in the stock market, was in connection with the pressure to sell West Shore first mortgage bunds.The developments of last week have created an impression that there may be a reorganization of the West Shore Company and its financial scheme.Another element of depression was a report that the General Manager of the Union Pacific refused to acknowledge the truth of the reported formation of a pool with the Denver & Burlington & Quincy ou Utah business.The complications of the Lackawanna with the trunk lines were also less favorably viewed.The fact that the trunk line comuuittee to-day did not carry out the threats of cutting the Lackawanna off from all connections west of Buffalo, but extended the time to Wednesday, is regarded as evidence that the pool managers feel conscious of the weakness of their position.A Pcacefal Prospect.: NEw YORK, Jan.14.\u2014It was announced to-day at Commissioner Fink\u2019s office that negotiations with western roads which bave peen fighting the

almost a panic, while the trade seemed to turn in and sell, and an immense block of oil changed hands ina few moments.The cause is attributed to the McKinney well on the Williamson track, which is alleged to be producing 900 barrels daily.Panishing the Lackawanna, New York, Jan, 14.\u2014Commissioner Fink announced to-day that although the Delaware and Lackawanna might have given through bills to shippers to-day freight will not be received by western roads except at local rates.The order only applied to freight shipped from New York to-day and hereafter.He denied that the joint executive committee ordered any compromise.ge THE NIHILIST REVIVAL.Fraternising with Fenians\u2014The Czar to be Killed.St.PETERSBURG, Jan.14,\u2014Special precautions have been taken for the safety of the Czar

Jan.14.-\u2014The Brittanic hove in sight of the Celtic on Saturday at 6 o\u2019clock in the morning.Her appearance was heartily cheered by the passengers on the Celtic, from which vessel a boat was sent off to the Brittanic with the chief steward to procure a supply of whiskey and brandy which had run short.This boat took back to the Celtic a light line with which a hawser was drawn on board and the Brittanic, at 8 o'clock, began towing the long missing steamer to ort.P Incidents of the Voyage.Lonpoyx, Jan.15.\u2014The Celtic landed two saloon and 27 steerage passengers at Queenstown.One of the steerage passengers named Malone said : \u201c All went well until Sunday evening, the day after leaving New York.I was playing euchre with some friends, and suddenly felt a slight shock, but it was not enough to cause us to cease playing.It soon transpired that the steamer\u2019s main shaft was baoken near the engine room.The steamer was then about thirty hours from New York.No panic occurred, although some pasrengers were greatly excited.We were tossed about for several days, going in a southerly direction, although efforts were made to turn the ship's head to New York.Finally, a fair wind blowing, it was decided to pursue our course toward England.In the first nine hours afterward the ship made 88 miles.The weather continued fine until Christmas Day.On that day the steerage passengers received unusually good fare, The doctor conducted divine service for Protestants, and a lady for Catholics.A concert was given on Christmas night.Every night we had some amusement.Nothing noteworthy occurred until we spoke the Argosy.A great clamor arose when it became known that four passengers could be taken aboard the Argosy.The lucky fellows were envied.As much as £40 was offered for the privilege of a berth, but the offer was refused.During the last two weeks we got salted provisions but no vegetables.Liquor was not obtainable for four days before we met the Britannic.\u201d Mr.H.S.Hamilton, a saloon passen- senger, said :\u2014\u201cI was in the smoking- room when the shaft broke.The shock was pretty severe.The weather was fine at the time, but during the night the wind blew hard, and a heavy sea broke over the saloon deck.The Celtic made as much as one hundred and sixty miles in one day under canvas.\u201d R.B.Kirchoffer, another saloon passenger, said : \u201c The gentleman who offered forty pounds for the privilege of a berth on the Argosy was an American sculptor who had a pressing engagement in Rome in connection with the execution of the statue of President
