bill to provide for the introduction among the Indian communities ofasystem of self-government, said the object of the bill was to enable the civilized Indians to become more advanced, and to have more power than at present.At present their self-government wae done in Council, where they met and discussed matters, but some of the more advanced and more civilized Indians thought there should be something more than this informal council, where they could not speak authoritatively.The bill provided that any such Indian communities as the Governor-in-Council thought fit for the operation of this Act should meet on a certain day and elect six councillors, and those six councillors would elect a chief councillor on the municipal system, their proceedings being subject to the Superintendent General of Indian Affairs, with power to levy taxes for improvements.The motion was carried and the bill read à first time.Sir JOHN MACDONALD laii on the table the report of the Department of Indian Affairs.THE BRITISH COLUMBIA AGREEMENT.Sir JOHN MACDONALD moved that the House zo into Committee on Friday to consider resolutions for giving effect to the agreement with British Columbia with respect to the Esquimault & Nanaimo Rail- wayand telegraph line, the grant of $250,000 for the purchase and repair of the Esqui- mault & Nanaimo dry dock, and authorizing the grant to the Esquimault & Nanaimo Railway Company of the lands and rights connected therewith that may be placed in the hands of the Government by t hat of the said Province for the purposes relating to the construction of the said railway.The resolutions also authorize the importation, free of duty, of the materials required for the first bridges on that railway, the Government of Canada to pay interest at four per cent.on money deposited by the Esquunault & Nanaimo Railway as security for the due performance of their contract.DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.In answer to Mr.Blake, * Hon.Mr.POPE said that the report of the Department of Agriculture would not be ready for some time, as the returns, which came from all portions of the world, were not vet in, Mr.BLAKE quite understood the capacity of the hon.gentleman for spread ing himself all over the world.MANITOBA SCHOOLS.Sir L.TILLEY moved the House into Committee on the resolution to the Governor-in-Council may authorize an advance to the Province of Manitoba in aid of the public schools therein, ten thousand dollars advance whereof in the fiscal year 1830-81, was authorized by the act, 41 Vic , chap.13, and a further sum not exceeding thirty thousand dollars, being fifteen thousand dollars for each of the fiscal years 1881-82 and 1882-83, s14d sums to be advanced out of the Consolidated Revenue fund, and to be repaid thereto with interest at the rate of 5 per cent.per annum out of the first proceeds of the sales of *\u201c school lands\u201d in said province under the Dominion Lands Act, 1883.He eaid it would be in the memory of the House that three years ago the Government proposed to advance $10, 000 a year for educational purposes to the Province of Manitoba.Of that amount first and second payment had been made, but as the Province of Manitoba had not, as specified, dsked for the third payment, it bad not been made.ow, however, they required the money as provided for in the resolution.Owing to sparseness of population it was difficult to carry on education in the Province in question, which moreover had a very limited revenue and it was desired to hold the school lands until the highest possible price could be obtained for them.In the meantime until recouped from the sale of school lands the Government of Manitoba would pay five per cent interest on the advance.Sir R.CARTWRIGHT asked how much of the land had been sold and what was the price realized ?Sir L.TILLEY did not think any had been sold.This Government had proposed to sell the lands but at the request of the Government of Manitoba the sale had been postponed.\u2019 Mr.BLAKE urged that all the papers and correspondence in connection with the negotiations should be brought down.He did not, until they were brought down, desire to give opinion on the proposition.No doubt education in Manitoba must be favored in every possible way but with reference to this special aspect of the case he thought the Government bad not given all explanations.The newspapers had pointed out the difficulties that attended the sale of school lands.These were hardships to which squatters on the lands would have been subjected if the Jands were sold over their heads.It was, as he believed, in view of the representations of the squatters, that the sale had been postponed and the lands withdrawn.If the lands continued to be locked up and people allowed to squat upon them the trouble would be augmented.There ought to be unquestionably a business-like adjustment of this subject which the lapse of time, instead of healing, would make worse.Sir JOHN MACDONALD said the hon.gentleman was in a measure correct.The lands had been offered for sale and withdrawn.As to the same the objection had, it was true, been that they were settled on and the rights of settlers were pressed on the Government while the Government of Manitoba had considered that at the time it was not expedient that the lands should be in the market.He believed the Government of Manitoba were now sorry that the sale had been postponed.Under the Dominion Act the question arose as to whether the parties entering on unsurveyed lands had not rights.ed by the officers of the Department and now the law had been fixed that no person could, in future, have such claim on school lands.The Manitoba Government thought that next spring would be a good time to ut the lands on the market.Mr.BLAKE observed that this was not the first time the Hon.Premier had asked tor another ten thousand.These cases were now being judg- f TIE BRITISH COLUMBIA JUDICIARY.| Sir JOHN MACDONALD gave notice | that he would move the House into Con- mittee on Friday uext to cousider a resolution declaring it expedient to provide a salary of $2,400 for the Judge of the County Conrt of Cariboo, British Columbia.He said that under the act of 1883 five County Court Judges were provided for British Columbia, but when Sir Alex-1 ander Campbell was ot Victoria last sumner it was found that at present the salary of only one Judge in Cariboo district was required.Mr.BLAKE said that the right hon, | ~entleman should not take credit to hime self fur saving the salaries of Your judges.| He explained that four or five years ago he (Mr.Bluke) had himself stated that owing to the circumstances of British Columbia they would require local judges in different districts of British Columbia, and that the local judges at that time were all euperannuated, but now it was being shown that his opinion was right.Sir JOHN MACDONALD said that virtue always had its own reward, and he did not want the hon.gentleman\u2019s gratitude for saving the salaries of four judyes.The country was being rapidly opened up, and it was thergfore found that judges were required.The judges who were formerly in office were not lawyers by profession, which was not at all satisfactory.MOTIONS FOR PAPERS, Mr.BLAKE moved for copies of all applications for sales or leases, and\u2019 all correspondence or reports touching, aud also a statement of -all sales or leases made, of coal lands in the North- West not covered by the returns already ordered ; a statement in detail of any sums paid to the Hon.John O'Connor since the period covered by the address of last session, with latest particulars ; copies of any despatch or correspondence concerning or of any regulations or orders of the United States Government under which Nova Scotia coal imported into the United States ports is to be permitted to be used for ocean steamship purposes without the payment of duty ; copies of all Orders-in- Council, correspondence, memorials and representations on the subject of the bounty on manufactures of iron, and a statement showing the number of seizures made at each port of entry in the Dominion during the last fiscal year.Carried.Mr.MULOCK moved for a return of all regulations now in force under the provisions of \u201c The Fisheries Act\u201d prohibiting fishing in waters situated in the Province of Ontario.Carried.Mr.WATSON moved for copies of all correspondence on the subject of the navigation of the Hudson Bay, not already brought down.Carried.THE ESTIMATES.In answer to Sir Richard Cartwright,

of all Sorts.Next to the all absorbing topic of! lodgings, the question of transporting our visitors next week from point to point In the city becomes of interest ; not on account of any lack of vehicles to take them about in, for there are eight hundred hack- men in the city besides the livery stable rigs, horse cars, and private sleighs that can be made available, but for the extortion that is sure to be practised.The reporter was informed by a gentleman who certaiuly ought to know, that the Windsor Hotel and St.Lawrence Hall would adhere to their usual rates, and that the princk pal liveries would do the same.The Windsor Hotel charges for hacks for Carnival week would be $15 per day for a double team and $10 for a single one, the same as they always had been, and that the St.Lawrence Hall would charge about the same.The Backmen\u2019s Union, some three hundred strong, might be expected to be somewhat reasonable in their demands, but what could be expected of the remaining five hundred hackmen, those brigands of the boulevards, who have been anxiously awaiting this windfall for months.These men, the reporter was informed, most of whom follow another trade during the summer months, have been on very short commons indeed of late, and will not fail to fasten themselves leech-like upon our visitors and drain them dry.No one objected to their advancing their prices somewhat, but they should not be too ex- orbitant, and above all should be olite to their fares particularly to adies.The gentleman then went on to condemn the indiscriminate manner in which carters\u2019 licenses were granted without any enquiry whatever into Lhe applicant\u2019s previous record.Thus it happened that ex-convicts were at the present time driving hacks and that outrages and assaults upon unprotected females had become painfully common.Another baneful practice, the cause of many an accident, was owing to the holders of licenses being $00 lazy to drive themselves, and sending their eons, generally inexperienced boys, out in their places.These youths were invariably extortionate and, as a general rule, rude and insulting to their fares.The advice therefore to be extended to visitors is to arrange for hacks, if possible» at the hotels or livery stables, and if any attempt at extortion was made by any of these roving carters, to drive at once to the nearest police station and leave the matter to be arbitrated upon by the magistrate.A Suggestion.To the Editor of the MONTREAL HERALD : An 1dea has just occurred to me which, if carried out, would be one of the most pleasing features of the reception of His Excellency and Lady Landsdowne, on Monday next, viz :\u2014 The young lady members of our tobog- gaaing and snowshoe clubs, to the number of five hundred, or more, should turn out in the blanket costume, and line the street from a given point on Dorchester street to Windsor Hotel, supported in rear by young gentlemen members of the various clubs, in club uniform, each lady receiving our noble guests, as they pass through their ranks, with their pleasing and captivating smiles and waving of their handkerchiefs.This to an Irish gentleman could not fail to be pleasing.Ifit could be so arranged, cach of the young ladies might immediately after be presented informally, and make their bow in the large reception room, and without the ceremony of cards with name thereon.Youxc MONTREAL.Montreal, Jan.29, 1884.Rules of Hockey.The following are the rules governing all matches played under the auspices of the Montreal Carnival

C.P.Davidson, R.D.McGibbon, Ewan McLen- nan, Ald.Farrell, Wm.O\u2019Brien, Jas.O\u2019Brien, T.J.Potter.A letter was read from Mr.M.H.Gault, M.P., regretting his absence on account of Parliamentary business.The Chairman stated that the object of the meeting was to act in conjunction with the civic authorities in the reception of the Governor General on Monday, and to undertake any duties of that nature that may be deemed necessary during Carnival week.A GUARD OF HONOR WANTED.Major C.P.Davidson moved that this committee apply at once to the Deputy Adjutant Guneral, asking that a suitable guard

Bonaventure depot and await the arrivel of His Excellency.The meeting then adjourned.The Carnival Trotting Races.A HEegrarp reporter called on Mr.C.N.Acer, of the Montreal Driving Park, Point} St.Charles, yesterday, and was assured by that gentleman that the coming races during Carnival week, wonld be a complete auccess.The proprietors have received intimation that a large number of horses would participate, many of them from the United States, but few entries have yet been made, and Mr.Acer said he did not expect many before the end of the preseut week.Among the horses expect-d are White Eye, owned by Mr.F.Terry,of Bennington, Vt.; Maggie Morrill, of Seneca Falls, N.Y., which took first prize in the 2.45 class here last fall; Bellevue Boy, from Vermont, has also been here before.Lucy, Lottie K., Slippery Jack, and Ella Doe of Ticonderaga, Parnell and Nellie Gray will be entered by Mr.Brock, of Vermont, and Polly B.Josephus by Mr.H.Nelson, of Brooklyn.Lookout, a Montreal horse, Little Walter, Quebec Girl ana Moose will also take part.Mr.Horan, of Picton, Ont, will send two horses.Mr.Brome, of Rochester, four, and Mr.J.P.Boyd, of New York City, six.Five horses will be entered by Mr.liyer, of Brighton, Ont.Mr.Van Valkenberg, of Ottawa, will enter two horses, and Mr.Rennean, of Ottawa, one.Mr.John Mack, of Albany, and Mr.Herdick, of New York, will act as pool sellers.This arrangement will doubtless give satisfaction to American attending thie races, as both gentlemen are well and favorably known in connect ion with the turf.The regular races for this week will be held on Friday afternoon, as snowshoe race will take place in the Park on Saturday.Notes.Herr G.F.Zimmermann, correspondent of the Cologne Gazette, and Herr E.Anders, of the Silesian Gazette, will attend the Carnival.Mr.H.Montague Allan\u2019s conservatory will be thrown open to visitors on the Saturday of Carnival week.The Bell Telephone Company have kindly loaned three telephones to the Committee, one placed in the Windsor Hotel reception room, another at the Secretary\u2019s office, and a third at the flour sheds.The fancy dress slide of the Lansdowne Club will take place on Wednesday afternoon at half-past three.Masks have been sent for to New York and it is expected that four hundred members will partici- ule.?The Lodging House Committee complain that rooms are let by the proprietors without notifying them and that persons sept there for rooms find them already taken.It is probable that the Executive Committee will wear a cardinal red badge, the sub-committee a blue badge, and the press a white badge.; The East End celebration, torchlight procession, fireworks and illumination will take place on Monday night instead of Thursday, as first intended.The route of the snowshoers will be from the Champ de Mare, up St.Denis street, along St.Catherine and down St.Lawrence street.The St.Hyacinthe Club,.twenty-five strong, will be in for the attack on the Ice Palace, and the Frontenac Club, of Ottawa, fifty, will arrive on Tuesday night. correspondent suggests that the Park Commissioners clear away the mountain road, now almost impassable from snow.The 12,000 candle power electric lignt was placed on the pole in Dominion square last night and lighted for a while.The effect was dazzling in the extreme.AN EVENING WITH THE FIREMEN.Ald, Hood Banquets the Fire Department -« Some Tributes to Their Merits.The large hall of the Central Fire Station was the scene of a most enjoyable entertainment last evening.The firemen, to the number of about forty, their wives and lady friends, as well as several of the City Fathers and some other guests, had assembled at the invitation of Ald.Hood, who, desirous to express his regard for the firemen, had invited the whole department to partake of a complimentary banquet, and wind up the evening with a dance.The hall was prettily decorated, and four large tables groaned \u2019neath the weight of the feast.An orchestra occupied one end of the room and played some fine selections during the evening.The chair was occupied by Ald.Hood, supported on his right by Mayor Beaudry, W.Wilson, Ald.Mount, Ald.Gauthier, Messrs.J.W.Taylor, and F.Cole, and on his left by Ald.Grenier, F.Scholes, Col.Fletcher, R.McKeown, A.Perry and P.St.George, City Surveyor.The vice- chairs were filled by Chief Patton, Sub- Chief McCulloch and J.Beckingham, of the Salvage Corps.When the good things had been fully discussed, the Chairman proposed the healths of \u2018the Queen\u201d and \u201cthe Governor-General,\u201d which were received with the utmost enthusiam.The toast of \u2018\u2018 the Mayor and Corporation\u201d brought His Worship to his feet, who, in a few well-chosen remarks, ex- ressed the pleasure he felt at meeting the firemen who were, he declared, the equal if not the superior of any in the world.He said that the Chairman of the Fire Committee was a good father to his children, always taking the greatest interest in the firemen.Ald.Grenier spoke in a simular eulogistic strain saying that although he had travelled a good deal and seen many fire departments, yet the Montreal brigade was ahead of any of them.They had had a good deal to learn but had well profitted by the experience of others.The toast of \u201cOur Guests\u201d was responded to by several gentlemen present.Mr.J.W.Taylor said that as an old insurance man he knew well what firemen had to go through.There were two thoughts in his mind\u2014first the responsibility that fell upon men that occupied the position their chairman did and secondly the duty of the firemen themselves, There was no duty so philanthropic as that of the chairman.The duty of saving property was a noble one, and it must be a satisfaction for him to think that this property saved was so much added to the wealth of the country.As regarded the duty of the firemen.They read of brave acts by soldiers and sailors in action, but never had such individual acts of heroism been performed by them as had been done time and again by firemen.The roldire\u2019s duty was to destroy life, but the fireman\u2019s duty was far nobler \u2014it was to save life and property.The speaker concluded by stating that he had always taken a strong if quiet interest in firemen, and would continue to do s0.Ald.Gauthier and Mount followed 1n a similar strain.Mr.W.Wilson was of the opinion that the firemen were not sufficiently paid for what they did.They were constantly ricking their lives to save property and no body of men were more deserving of good ay.P Mr.Alfred Perry in an interesting address recalled the old volunteer firemen\u2019s days of forty years ago, before the city was incorporated.He could see now only three of the old brigade, the Chairman, Col.Fletcher and himself.In looking arcund the board he miesed many a familiar face, some of whom had fost their lives in their calling.There was no hero of the battle field, he said, could be compared to the fireman who stands ready to risk lie life at a moments notice.The pay of the fireman did not amount to a snap\u2014here were men wha had turned out to forty-two fires in the last month, many of whom had not a third pair of socks for a change.Then there were old servants in the brigade who ought to be retired, but where could they go?There was no provision for them.He would advise the men not to ask for more pay but to ask for a superanuation fund nstead.Col.Fletcher said that he spoke as an old fireman, indeed he supposed that he was the oldest fireman present, his services dating back to 1834, when he first became a fireman, joining a volunteer hook and ladder company.In those days the firemen were not under the control of the corporation, for there was no Corporation then, the city being governed by a Mayor and Magistrate, There were several volunteer fire associations under the control of the insurance company.He remembered how they saved up money enough to buy a wagon and that each man bought himself an axe.The speaker recalled the great fire of 1852 which broke out in the Main street in the morning and spread during the day as far as St.Denis.After working hard all this time to put it out, the firemen were about returning home when it burst forth again with redoubled fury.At 10 o\u2019clock next morning the remnant of the fire department, consisting of two engines and six men, found themselves contemplating the end of the conflagration down at the jail, having worked for 24 consecutive hours without rest.All the houses between St.Lawrence street and the jail had been destroyed and all the volunteers utterly worn out save the gallant halt dozen.Mr.Alfred Perry was one of these.The citizens, the speaker went om, did aot seem to appreciate the eervices of the firemen.The public should not forget that there men we:e the guardians of the amount of pay than they now got, and were also entitled to superannuation.The \u201cBenevolent Association was all very well, but it did not meet the requirements demanded, and besides that it had been raised by their own efforts, without any help from the corporation.; The Chairman, in proposing the healths of the officers and men, said that the reason of their meeting that night was that he wished to repay them in part for the pleasure he had had with them before aud also to express the gratitude he felt at their kind reception of him on his return from England.He counselled them to practise sobriety, integrity and uprightness in the course before and that if they did so they would be worthy of the position they occupied.Chief Patton in responding to the toast said that there was one thing that had surprised him.The corporation had year after year been appointing to raise salaries but that nothing had been done for them.They had heard of salaries being raised in other departments but nothing ever came their way.If they fancied that the services of the firemen were less valuable he would simply ask them to lcok over the books and see whether they did not deserve more pay.The clhief went on to compliment; the men under his-charge, pausing however, to remark that they had had a lot of men shoved on them who were not fireman and who never would be.Once in the brigade it was not easy to get rid of them.Sub-Chief McCulloch also responded to the toast, and took eccasion to speak in favor of a supexannuation fund, bringing forward his thirty-five years\u2019 service as an excuse for doing so.\u201c The Press\u201d was responded to by THE HErALD representative and Mr.H.J.Cloran, of the Post, and \u201c the Ladies\u201d by Firemen Thomas Hogan and J.Becking- am.The Mayor then proposed the health of the Chairman.Ald.Hood, in reply, stated that he was there that night as a jolly good fellow with his brother firemen.e owed them a debt of gratitude for the many favors he had received from them, and it was one of the greatest pleasures for him to meet them.He might be gone from the corporation, but they would find him always a friend to the firemen.Three rousing cheers were then given for Mrs.Hood, \u2018\u201c absent but not forgotten,\u201d after which the floor was cleared and dancing set in with great vigor and was kept up until a late hour.EPPS\u2019S

the physical system and add greatly to the social pleasures and comforts of Canadian life.The snow, and plenty of it, is indispensable to the proper pursuit of one of the greatindustries of the country, one that employs a vast amount of capital and an army of laborers and that supplies a ready home market for the products of the farm.We refer to lumbering which in its various branches and developments affects nearly every other branch of industry in Canada.It is in winter also that most of the timber for another important industry\u2014that ofship- building\u2014is cutand marketed.The winter frosts too, while sealing the rivers, and the snows while covering the country, give us good winter roads, which are needed for marketing the agricultural produce of the country; they also provide winter fishing in various sections of Canadas While a Canadian winter has its drawbacks, as, for instance, involving increased outlay for food, clothing and fuel, yet it is the healthiest season\u2014we had almost said the happiest season\u2014of the year.It is the season of social enjoyment, of popular gatherings of all kinda.To us in Montreal it is especially the season of out-door sports and manly physical recreation.What with our skating rinks and clubs, our snowshoe clubs and tramps, our toboggan clubs and slides, our curlers and their clubs,\u2014what with the enjoyment arising day by day from all these amusements, to which are added on gala occasions grand bonspiels, fancy dress carnivals, steeplechases, torchlight processions, competitions and parades and races,\u2014it must be admitted that nowhere in the world do the inhabit- antsofany city extract more of pleasure from their wintry surroundings, or do more to turm a wintry aspect into a pleasurable, joyous jand \u2018sensible mode of existence.It will alio be admitted that nowhere are the results of winter amusements more satisfactorily shown in the physique of the population ; for it would be difficult to find young women of healthier habit and better physical proportions, or manlier young men than here in Montreal.The climate may be colder than in some other parts of America, the thermometer may descend far below zero, there may be \u201ca nipping aud an eager air \u201d which may not be relished by visitors from warmer countries ; nevertheless, to Montrealers who spend a large portion of their time out of doors these incidents only add to the rel- ih of lifes, they are hailed as stimulants to exercise and aids to health, and they are welcomed as the proper conditions of life during a Canadian winter, Those who have doubts on the subject have but to visit the places of popular resort\u2014the not the slightest doubt.skating rinks, the curlers\u2019 grounds or the toboggan slides, or take part iu a snowshoe tramp over the Mountain and out to Lumpking\u2019, to appreciate the thorough enjoyment of winter life which is experienced by Montrealers of both sexes and of all ages and conditions.It is here in Montreal, of all cities in America, that the most is made of winter and its sports.Our citizens believe that winter was given to them to enjoy, and they enjoy it to the full.It follows that instead of dreading winter and fearing its dreary approach, ithey meet it half-way, they welome it with open arms, they disarm it of its terrors and turn it into the most enjoyable season of the year.And herein is true philosophy.We can not get rid of our Canadian winters ; then why not make the most and the best of them ?A population who have grown up with a thorough and manly relish and love for winter sports, a population devoted to skating, tobogganing, snowshoeing and curling, are just the people to originate and successfully carry out the idea of a grand Winter Carnival, a carnival of winter sports and amusements, Here are any number of organizations, ready to the hand, willing to combine and work out the central idea.Here is unbounded enthusiasm, without which suceess would be impossible.Here is wealth, which comes in to supplement the time which is so freely given.Here are hillsides and slopes\u2014the great river in our front\u2014rink buildings, slides, trotting parks, the mountain itself with its numerous and beautiful drives\u2014every- thing needed to make a carnival a success.The initial carnival of last year was a suc- cyss.The labor involved was very great; it fell principally upon young men ; and it was cheerfully and liberally given.The success of last year was an assurance that the Winter Carnival can be made an institution of Montreal.The affair of this year is on a more ambitious acale ; the programme is more extended and varied ; the temptations to visitors are more unique and alluring.That it will exceed in its successful results Carnival No.1 we confidently anticipate, and that the many thousands of visitors will return home without one of their number being disappointed in his expectations of the sights and scenes, we have All honor, then, to those who have brought matters to their present condition of preparedness.Let us hope that nothing will occur to mar the perfectness of the arrangements for Carnival Week, and that the skill, the harmony and the enthusiasm which have characterized all the detailed movements up to this time may continue until the last hour\u2019s sport has ended and the last visitor has departed for his home.BELLEROSE VS.CHAPLEAU, MOUSSEAU.That the Castor element has not been placated by the overturn and reconstruction at Quebec is now well established.If the breach in the Conservative ranks had really been healed we would have had evidence of it in the Senate, where some of the ablest of the disaffected have seats, But instead of the belligerent genators, such as Messrs.Bellerose and Trudel, showing themselves mollified, they are apparently more savage than ever in their attacks \u2018upon Messrs.Chapleau and Mousseau.Brief reference has been made in eur columns to Senator Bellrose\u2019s speech on the address, but the details of that gentleman\u2019s onslaught upon his former party friends will, as officially reported, be read with interest here.He said :\u2014 Who was that gentleman whom Sir John, utting aside the constitutional right of Quebes, took to replace Mr.Mousgeau ?Mr.Chapleau, the same gentleman who has done so much towards ruining the Province of Quebec, that her best men now refuse to undertake the task of forming a government.Had Mr.Chapleau been actuated by a sense of duty; had he any sense of patriotism 1n his heart, ought he not to have declined and refused to join this Government until the claims of Quebec were attended to, like the Morins, the La- fontaines and the Cartiers have done in the ast?Who does not knew all the story of Ruebecs shame ?Has not the public press made it known to all the world?And yet last year I was almost brutally attacked because I dared to speak honestly of an absent, and it was alleged, sick and perhaps dying man, who, however, was well enough to appear in Parliament a few days afterwards.I was accused of attacking a sick man, whose death we might hear of at any time, yet, the next day this dying man appeared in Ottawa in good enough health to laugh with his frieuds at the rumors circulated about him.Who has not been told by the newspapers of the injuries that gentleman inflicted on Quebec?It is well known that that Province is now burdened by à debt of $19,- 000,000, that it has been looking for money to pay the balance of interest of that debt, which the Federal Subsidy was not sufficient to pay some 12 months ago.The world knows that now since the press had published it abroad.And the man who did all that evil and who knew well he would have been defeated had he gone back to the Local Legislature, resigned in Quebec and was received by Sir John in his Cabinet and there taken care of by him.Have we not, then, a right to believe that the Prime Minister of Canada did this in order to induce other public men in Lower Canada to betray their Province for the reward which he offered ?Was it not an inducement to Quebecers to help him in carrying on the work which he &ir John) began in 1867, and which he only then failed to carry out because there was a Sir George Cartier in his way ?But now that Sir George Cartier has gone, Sir John is working every day to bring about a Legislative Union, and what for ?He knows very well that Confederation was given to Canada on account of Quebec,:because, but for Confederation, Quebec would have adhered to the old order of things, and as she would have nothing else than Confederation, it was given to her.But how has Sir John been working since Sir George Cartier has gone ?Why, in such a way a8 to centralize everything in the Dominion Government.\u201d Referring to Mr.Mousseau\u2019s appointment to the Bench, Mr.Bellerose said :\u2014 \u201c Now, gentlemen, is there anything better calculated to demoralize a people than such promotions and appointments ?Is it necessary that I sheuld comment on such acts in order to show how discreditable they are ?No, certainly, their mere statement is sufficient.And then, again, does not the consideration which the Prime Minister of Canada has shown to all those whom our Province has rejected as unworthy servants, show that he is satisfied with the way in which they are doing his \"work, and approves of it all ?Is not this conduct of the Premier also an inducement to Quebec\u2019s public men to betray that Province, and thereby gain the favor of the Federal authorities ?Be my friend and help me\u2014never mind the country or your Province l\u2014such seems to be the motto of those gentlemen at the present time.If this system is allowed to continue, if the people of this Dominion do not open their eyes, the right hon.gentleman will probably succeed in breaking down Confederation, and bringing about legislative union.\u201d This looks like war, not only upon the leaders of the Conservative majority in Quebec but upon the Government itself.The complaint appears to be that the Government recognizes the Chapleau- Mousseau wing of the party in Quebec in any way, as it would appear to be the tactics of the Castors\u2014at least in the Senate\u2014to compel the Government to abandon the Chapleauites.This, of course, the Government will not think of doing, as for one French member in the Commons who sympathizes with Mr.Bellerose and his friends there are eight or ten who have no sympathy whatever with them.That Sir John is crying over the divisions amongst his French supporters we take leave to doubt.They have so often put undue pressure upon him on important matters and at critical times, that it is probably a relief to him to have them fightiug amongst themselves as they are now doing.By the way, there is a remarkable inconsistency in the several parts of Mr.Bellerose\u2019s speech.He denounces Mr.Chapleau for entering Sir John's Government without first securing an increased subsidy for Quebec.This claim by Quebec must be based in justice, or the Dominion should not grant it.It should be shown by Mr.Bellerose that Quebec's finances, honestly administered, call for an increase of subsidy from the general purse.But Mr.Bellerose goes on to show that the province was in a good position until Mr, Chapleau came upon the scene and plunged the province into $19,000,- 000 of debt, bringing it to the verge of \u201cruin!\u201d If Mr.Bellerose is correct in This charges, he has practically destroyed Quebec\u2019s claim on the Dominion.If she has had money enough from the Federal treasury .to provide for an honest and reasonably economical administration of her affairs, why should the Federal treagury pay more?Or if Mr.Chapleau has made away with the revenue, why should the Dominion replenish the provincial exchequer 7 It strikes us that Mr.Bellerose, | for a sincere friend of the province, proves too much.INDIAN AFFAIRS IN THE DOMINION, The following is a summary of the leading features of the report for 1883 on Indian Affairs, which was laid on the table of the House of Commons by the Premier yesterday :\u2014 The report states that the relations of the Government with the numerous Indian tribes continue \u201cto be satisfactory.and that the Government had not relaxed its efforts during the year to render them self-supporting.Important results have been attained in reducing considerably the rations of flour issued on the several reserves, as the crops of roots and grain raised by the Indians admit of this step being taken, and it is expected there will be an annual reduction until eventually the Government will be relieved of the expense of rationing the Indians on reserves, The Department is gradually closing the home farms, the instructors being moved to the reserves to superintend on the spot the operations of the Indians.The Blackfoot Indians, formerly regarded as the most warlike, have now settled down to peaceful pursuits, almost every family having its house and farm or garden in connection therewith, The Chief of this nation, Crowfoot, has always been remarkable for his loyalty to the Great Mother, as Her Majesty is universally termed by the Indians.He is without exception the most important Chief in the North-West and sways by his eloquence and personal influence the whole Blackfoot nation.Three industrial schools were established in July last at Battleford, Q\u2019Appelle and High River, in the Blackfoot country.The Indians show reluctance to have their children separated from them, but doubtless time will overcome this obstacle.The condition of Indian affairs in the older provinces remains unchanged to any important degree.The Indians of Ontario and Quebec, with the exception of bands on the north shore of the Lower St.Lawrence, are mainly self- supporting, and those in Ontario, are with assistance of annuities and interest on their invested capital, to be considered as being, on the whole, in comfortable circumstances, The amount at the credit of the Indian fund was on 30th June last $3,150,528, being an increase of $3,257 over the amount at their credit last year.The expenditure from the same fund amounted to $278,571, being $21,293 over last year\u2019s expenditure, The following shows the parliamentary expenditures during the year :\u2014Mani- toba and North-West, $1,027,216 ; New Brunswiek, $4,627 ; Nova Scotia, $4,017; British Colnmbia, $43,731 ; Prince Edward Island, $1.768.The quantity of lands sold during the year for the benefit of the Indians reached 32,412 acres, realizing $31,557, The approximate quantity of surrendered Indian land remaining unsold is $465,793.Amount collected on account of old and new sales, $33,130.The total Indian population of the Dominion is stated to be 131,137, of whom 34,320 are in Manitoba and the North- West, 36,483 in British Columbia, 18,121 in Ontario and 11,930 in Quebec.The number of pupils attending Indian schools is4,394 of whom 1,180 are in Manitoba and the North-West 1,919 in Ontario, 462 in Quebec and 672 in British Columbia.Agricultural and industrial statistics show the Indian population resident on reserves to be 86,270 ; quantity of land cultivated 64,051 acres ; new land cultivated during the year 3,986 acres ; houses or huts 11,584 ; barns and stables 3,891 ; corn raised 55,663 bushels, wheat 90,774, oats 96,022, peas 28,151, barley 56,850, rye 2,125, potatoes 237,624, hay 18,539 tons ; fish, value $1,336,047 ; furs $300,601 ; other industries $329,000.MORE TARIFF CHANGES WANTED.The sugar refiners are importing raw sugars from China and the East Indies, finding it profitable to do so.The West Indian merchants at Halifax say this must stop, that the tariff is discriminating against the West Indian trade.They want the color test abolished and the polariscope test for sweetness adopted by the Government in fixing the duty.Mr.Bremner, who is being sent to Ottawa by the Halifax merchants to get the tariff changed, was interviewed by a reporter of the Halifax Herald some days ago.After Mr, Bremner had recited all sorts of grievances the reporter asked him \u201cHow isit, that notwithstanding all the disadvantages you have mentioned, more sugars were imported from the West Indies in the fiscal year 1883: than ever before 1\" and to this Mr.Bremner replied as follows: \u2014 : Of course, in 1878, almost the whole sugar consumed in the Domicion was refined, which had to be imported from abroad.The consumption of the Dominion had been gradually increasing, lately rapidly.The refiners only last year, for the first time, imported sugars from China and last year it was not entirely owing to the quantity of those sugars imported that the profitableness of the importations from the West Indies was so much affected, as that the prices oftered for West India sugars was affected by the cost to the \u2018efin- ers of the China and other far off sugars.The consequence was that, instead of there being an increase in importation of West India sugars at Halifax, there was a large falling oft during the year 1883.For the last six months, the importation from the West Indies being only about one-third of what it was during the corresponding period of the previous year\u2014the sugars brought from the West Indies in our ves sels nearly all going to the United States, where a much more remunerative market was found, there being no discrimination against sugar from the West Indies in favor of East India and other sugars.Ot course, if we have to continue the business.on these lines, we will be no better off than we were in 1878, and it will not pay us to pay port charges and commissions in the United States, as well as suffer from the long delay to our vessels.West India merchants will often bring sugars back as return cargoes for vessels taking out fish, even if there is no profit.But this is not what we had reason to expect the tariff would do for us.If we can get a fair freight on our sugars, we are usually coutent, but the discrimination in duty isso great as to prevent this.The refiners, at least in Halifax and Moncton, would willingly pay us a fair price for our sugars, but competing with others, they must take advantage of every thing in their power, apd other things being equal, would naturally import the sugars on which the duty is so much more favorable.There is very much more I could say on this question, but am off for Ottawa on Monday and every moment is precious.The long and short of the matter is that the operation of the tariff for the last few months does not suit the Halifax merchants in the West Indian trade, and they want it changed to square with their own interests.They appear to want a: purely specific duty.One merchant said to the reporter that it was understood \u201c the refiners have made or are making arrangements to import nearly the whole of their sugar from far off countries in 1884,\u201d\u2014that is to say, not from the countries in which the Halifax merchants are especially interested.Wicked refiners! THE * WITNESS \u201d AGAIN.The Witness seems very anxious to prove that the credit of £the country has been weakened whilst that of the Canadian Pacific Railwey Co.has not been strengthened by the circumstances attending the \u201cguarantee.\u201d And yet it has to admit that \u201ca straightforward Canadian loan could doubtless be negotiated as well, all things considered, as ever.\u201d Now if the credit of the country is weakened, what are the things to be considered that would enable a loan to be negotiated as well as ever?Is one of these things the fact that the loan would be used for completing the Canadian Pacific?If not, what is to be considered?Is it the straightforwardness of the loan ?We did not before know that weakened credit} could be improved by consideration.We fearour confrere\u2019s political bias has run away with his judgment.The credit of Canada in the money markets of the world is undoubted, but thereis not a single railway on this continent whose stock is not now lower than it was some time ago.Will the Witness give us the causes that go to produce this state of affairs ?What possible connection has the depreciation in American railway stocks with the Canadian Government\u2019s arrangements with the Canadian Pacific Railway ?And if, as the Witness says, a Canadian Government loan is now as negotiable as ever, in what respect have the C.P.R, negotiations weakened our credit ?The Witness admits that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company is fighting for the traffic of the American North-West, but objects to its method of doing so, lest we should offend our American neighbors.1f our memory is correct, when our American cousins were building their several Pacific lines they did not consult our feelings.Surely we have a right to build à road on our own territory, by the shortest route, in the cheapest way, and to raise the needed capital without offending our neighbors.The Witness appears to be wonderfully anxious about the relations between the Government and the \u201ccontractors.\u201d It can hardly be presumed the Government would have let the contract to men in whom it had no confidence.It would not have been possible to have carried on the contract without some communication between the contractors and the Government, The \u201cwildest misunderstandings and theories \u201d\u2019 that may be circulated in New York or London are not very likely to influence capitalist, certainly not against Canadian credit, if, as the Witness says, a Canadian loan can now be put through as well as ever.We regret to find our contemporary so hopelessly muddled over what is a very simple matter.YESTERDAY'S CoMMONS ELECTIONS.\u2014 In 1882 the vote in Kent, Ont., stood : Smyth, Conservative, 2,223, Sampson, Liberal, 2,066.Yesterday Mr.Smyth was re-elected by a majority of about 200.In York, N.B,, in 1882, the vote stood: Pickard, Liberal, 2,359, Fraser, Conservative, 1,442.The totals of yesterday\u2019s election, as far heard from, gave Gregory, Liberal, 1,736, Temple, Conservative, 1,887, with several places to hear frome A telegram to Tee Herarp, from St.John, N.B., received this morning says : Temple, Liberal-Conservative, is elected for York by about 150 majority.All but two polls are now heard from, and they will slightly increase his lead.Fredericton gave him 87 majority.DEATHS.Reppy\u2014Suddenly, at Dublin, Ireland, on the 23rd instant, in his 62nd year, John Reddy, M.D., L.R.CS.I.Notice of funeral hereafter.u Fema Aduertisements, CARNIVAL NUMBER OF THE MONTREAL HERALD DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE.A SPECIAL EDITION WILL BE ISSUED On MONDAY, the 4th FEBRUARY, FULLY ILLUSTRATING OUR SEVERAL WINTER SPORTS.\u2014\u2014 Advertisements will be received during this week on the same terms as for insertion in our regular issues.January 29 25 PATENTS Properly secured in CANADA, UNITED STATES, EUROPEAN and FOREIGN COUNTRIES with promptitude.TRADE MARKS and DESIGNS registered.AGREEMENTS and ASSIGNMENTS drawn.All matters relating to PATENTS transacted with Accuracy, Promptitude, and upon Reasonable Terms by J.A.RENNIE, Solicitor and Expert, 242 St.James Street, Montreal.3@¥- Correspondence Invited.January 30 26 NOTICE.\u2014\u2014 The Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders of the COMPAGNIE DE FILATURE STE.ANNE, HOCHE- LAGA (The Ste.Anne Spinning Company), for the reception of the Annual Report, the Elcction of Directors, the confirmation of a new By-law, and the transaction of business generally, will be held at the office of the Company, No.51 ST.MARY STREET, Hochelaga Ward, in the City of Montreal, On MONDAY, the {1h of FEBRUARY NEXT, At THREE o'clock P.M.By order of the Board.A.CINQ-MARS, Secretary-Trensurer.Montreal, 30th Jan, 1884.9F 26 CARNIVAL};

Among 80 many poor, and even worthless productions of Canadian, American, rnd even English manufacturers of Floor Covering, it is eatisfactory to know that there is a make of goods that is now, as it has alwaystbeen, THOROUGHLY RELIABLE, viz.:\u2014The well known Floor Cloth manufactured by Messrs.John Hare & Co., Bristol, who have lately celebrated their centenary of existence as a firm, and still enjoy the entire confidence of consumers of their goods.Owing to the great su- veriority of these Cloths and the demand for them by name, unscrupulous salesmen, not having the article wanted, have been known to impose upon customers inferior goods as HARE\u2019S.This may easily be detected by examing the back of the cloth where a fac-simile of one of the firm\u2019s prize medals is stamped on every few feet.In the better class of goods we show HARES CLOTHS exclusively in a great range of patterns, and as we sell them even lower than the best Scotch and Eng: lish makes, the advantage of

return broughtjdown to-day shows the subsidy earned by the Canadian Pacific by construction work.Up to December 5th they built 954 miles on the central section, earning $9,719,932 on mileage, and receiving $131,250 in payment on rails, or a total of $9,851,232.On the eastern section they built 120 miles, earning $1,846,153 on mileage, and receiving $304,735 in payment on rails, or a total of $2,150,888, making a grand total of $12,002,120.They had previously been paid $9,534,993, leaving a balance then payable of $316,239.The land subsidy earned on the central section was 9,720,000 acres, and on the eastern section 993,074, or a total of 10,643,074 acres.Deducting the amount previously transferred the uantity of land then allotted to the ompany by the Government was 440,000 acres.SIR JOHN\u2019S \u201c INDIAN ADVANCEMENT ACT.\u201d The bill introduced by Sir John regarding the institution of self-government among the Indians to-day is entitled the Indian Advancement Act.It divides reserves into sections, the number of which shall not exceed six en one reserve and each containing about a equal number of male Indiansof age.These sections shall effect members of council, whose qualifications shall be residence in a house owned by them on the reserve.Elections shall be annual.Councillors shall elect a chief councillor and shall have power to make by-laws subject to the approval of the superintendent of Indian affairs on the following subjects : Religious denominations of whicn the teacher of the school on the reserve shall belong, the care of public health, appointment of constables to preserve order at elections and meetings, repression of intemperance and profligacy, subdivision of land in the reserve among members of the band, cattle regulations, construction of school houses and other buildings, roadsand bridges, water mains, ditches, fences, repression of noxious weeds, preservation of wood on reserves, purish- ment of trespassers on reserves, appointment of treasurer and raising money for these purposes.The annual tax isnot to exceed one-half of one per cent on the assessment.Allowing punishment by both fine and imprisonment not exceeding $30 or 30 days.Any Councillors proved to be living in immorality or to have accepted a bribe to be disqualified and unseated.MANITOBA SCHOOLS.The House to-day went into committee for the first time this session, the occasion being the consideration of the resolution to make advances to Manitoba on account of school lands.The resolution was reported after a short discussion, MINISTER WEST INSULTED.There is much comment over an insult offered to the British Minister at Washington by Sir Alex.Camphell in the Senate the other day.In reply to Hon.Mr.Scott, who referred to a despatch by Minister West to the British Government regarding the exodus from Canada to the United States, Sir Alexander said : \u201cIt is merely a despatch based on statements appearing in American newspapers.I have the evidence in my hands that the British Minister at Washington finding those statements in the American newspapers wrote to the ForeignGffice, saying that so and so is the case.\u201d This is equivalent to accusing Mr.West of using newspaper statements as positive facts, and submitting them as his opinions to the British Government.Probably Sir Alexander will feel compelled to at least modify his accusation.GOSSIP.Public bills not being yet printed were not touched and the House adjourned shortly after four.It is rumored that the House will take a few days\u2019 recess to allow the members to attend the Montreal Carnival.The estimates will be laid on the table on Friday.\u2018 REV.CANON ELLEGOOD'S RECEPTION.A Brilliant Assemblage.The Queen\u2019s Hall Assembly Room was last evening the scene of a select and brilliant gathering, Rev.Cauon Ellegood, Chaplain of the Victoria Rifles, having invited the officers of that regiment and a large number of the elite of the city to a reception.The Rev.Canon, as well as the officers of the corps, appeared in unir form, and gave to the assemblage somewhat of a military aspect.Among the uests present may be mentioned Miss Rae, rs.Milburn, Mrs.Strathy, Mrs.J.S.Hall, jr., Mrs.Whitehead, Mrs.Hanna- ford, Mrs.J.Lovell, Mrs.and Miss Major, Mrs.Arthy, Miss Lusher, Mrs.Wonham, Mrs.Foster, the Misses

hence the importance to this town of the large but somewhat shabby building serving as terminal statious In its smoky interior, late in the evening and not very long ago, a train was nearly ready to start.It was a train possessing a certain consideration.For the benefit of a public easily gulled and enamoured of grandiloquent terms it was advertised as the \u201c Denver Fast Express ;\u201d sometimes, with strange unfitness, the \u2018\u201c Lightning Express ;\u201d *¢ elegant\u201d and palatial\u201d cars were declared to be included therein, and its departure was one of the great events of the twenty-four hours in the country round about.The train-men used no fine phrases.They called it simply \u201c No.17,\u201d and, when it started, said it had ¢¢ pulled out.\u201d On the evening in q uestion there it stood nearly ready.Just behind the great hissing locomotive, with its parabolic headlight and its coal-laden tender,came the baggage, mail and express cars; then the psssenger coaches, in which the social condition of the occupants seemed to be in inverse ratio to their distance from the engine.First came emigrants\u2014* honest miners.\u2019 cowboys and laborers, Irishmen, Germans.Welshmen, Menonites from Rus sia, quaint of garb and speech, and China- men; and then in the great Pullman ¢ gleepers \u201d the busy black porters were making up the berths for well to-do travel lers of divers nationalities and occupation.It was a curious study for a thoughtful observer, this motely crowd of human beings; sinking all differences of race, creed, habits in the common purpose to move west- ward\u2014to the mountain fastnesses, the sage-brush deserts, the Golden Gate.he warning bell sounded and the fireman leaned far out for the signal.The gong struck sharply, the conducter shouted.* All aboard I\u201d and raised his hand, the tired ticket-seller shut his window and the train moved;out of the station, gathered way a8 it cleared the outskirts of the town, rounded a curve, entered on an absolutely straight line, and with one long Whistle from the engine cettled to its work.Through the night hours it sped on, passed Yonely ranches and infrequent stations, by and across shallow streams fringed with cotton-wood trees, over the greenieh-yellow buffalo-grass, near the old trail where many & poor emigraut, many à bold frontieraman, many a brave so dier, had laid his bones but a short time before.Familiar as they may be, there is something strangely impressive about all-night journeys by rail ; and those forming part of an American transcontinental trip are almost weird.From the windows of a night express in Europe or the older portions of the United States one looks on houses and lights and cultivated fields, on tences and hedges, and, hurled as he may be through the darkness, he has a sense of companionship and semi-security.Far different is it when the long train is running over those two rails which, seen before night set in, seemed to meet on the horizon.Within, all is as if between two great seaboard cities\u2014the neatly dressed people, the uniformed officials, the handsome fittings, the various appliances for comfort.Without, are now long dreary levels, now deep and wild canyons, now an environment of strange and grotesque rock formations\u2014castles, battlements, churches, statues.The antelope fleetly runs and the coyote skulks away from the track and the grey wolf sullenly howls afar off.Tt is for all the world, to one\u2019s fancy, as though a bit of civilization, a family or community, its belongings and surroundings complete, were flying through regions barbarous and inhospitable.From the cab of engine No.32 the driver of the Denver Express saw, showing faintly in the early morning, the buildings grouped about the litile station ten miles ahead where breakfast awaited his passengers.Hé looked at his watch ; he had just twenty minutes in which to run the distance, as he had run it often before.Something, however, travelled faster than he.From the smoky station out of which the train paseed the night before, along the glender Wire stretched on rough poles at the side of the track, a spark of that mysterious something which we call electricity flashed at the moment he returned the watch to his pocket, and in five minutes\u2019 time the station-master came out on the platform a little more throughtful than his wont, and and looked eastward for the smoke of the train.With but three of the passengers in that train has this little tale specially to do and they were all in the new and comfort able Pullman City of Cheyenne.One was a tall, well-made man of about thirty ; blond, blue-eyed, bearded, straight, sinewy, alert.Of all the train he seemed the most thoroughly at home, and the respectful greeting of the conductor as he passed through the car marked him as an officer of the road.Such was he, Henry Sinclair assistant engineer, quite famed on the line, high in favor with the directors and a rising man in all ways.It was known on the road that he was expected in Denver and there were rumors that he was to organise the parties for the survey of an important extension.Beside him sat his pretty young wife.The third passenger in question had just been in conversation with Sinclair and the laiter was telling his wife of their curious meeting.Entering the toilet-room at the rear of the car, he said, he had begun his ablutions by the side of an other man, and it was as they were sluicing their faces with water that he heard the cry: \u201c Why, Major, is that you?Just to think of meeting you here!\u201d A man of about twenty-eight years of age, slight, muscular, wiry, ad seized his wet hand was wringing 1t.He had black eyes, keen aud bright, swarthy complexion, black hair and moustache.A keen observer might have seen about him some signs of à jeunesse orageuse, but his manner was frank and pleasing.Sinclair looked him in,the face puzzled for a moment.\u201c Don\u2019t you remember Foster ?\u201d asked the man.\u201c Of course I do,\u201d replied Sinelair.* For a moment I could net place you.Where have you been, and what have you been doing ?\u201d ¢ Oh,\u201d replied Foster, laughing, « I\u2019ve braced up and turned over a new leaf.I'm a respectable member of society, have a place in fhe Express Company, and am going to Denver to take charge.\u201d «J am very glad to hear it, and you must tell me your story when we have had our breakfast.\u201d ; The pretty young woman was just abou t to ask who Foster was when the speed of the train slackened, And the brakeman opened the door of the car and cried out in stentorian tones\u2014 .« Pawnee Junction ; twenty minutes for refreshments.\u201d I When the celebrated Rocky Mountain gold excitement broke:out, more than twenty years ago, and people painted ¢ Pike\u2019s Peak or Bust\u201d on the canvas covers of their wagons and started for the diggings, THE MONTREAL HERALD.AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30 they established a \u201ctrail\u201d or \u2018 trace \u201d leading in a southwesterly direction from the old one to California.At a certain point on this trail a frontiereman named arker built a forlorn ranch-house and corral and offered what is conventionally called entertainment for man and beast.For years he lived there, dividing his time b tween fighting the Indians aud feeding the passing emigrants and their stock, Then the first railroad to Denver was built.taking anotber route from the Missouri, and Barker\u2019s occupation was gone.He retired with his gains to St.Louis and lived in comfort.Years passed on and the extension over which our train is to pags was planned The old pioneers were excellent natural engineers and their successors could find no better route than they had chosen.Thus it was\u2018 Barker\u2019s\u201d became during the construction period, an important point and the frontiersman\u2019s name came to figure on time-tables.Meanwhile the place passed through a process of evolution which would have delighted Darwin.In the party of engineers which first camped there was Sinclair and it was by his advice that the contractors selected it for division headquarters.Then came drinking \u201c\u201c saloons \u201d and gambling-houses, alike the inevitable concomitant and the bane of Western settlements ; then scattered houses and shops and a shabby so called hotel, in which the letting of miserable rooms divided from each other by canvas partitions was wholly subordinated to the business of the bar.Before long Barker\u2019s had acquired a worse reputation thaa even other towns of its type, jhose abnormal and uncanny aggregations of squalor and vice whish dotted the Plains in those days ;and it was at its worst when Sinclair returned thither ond took up hisqurters in the engineer\u2019s building.The passion for gambling was raging, and to pander thereto were collected as choice a lot of a deperadoes as ever \u201c stocked \u201d cards or loaded dice.It came to be noticed that they were on excellent terms with a man called ¢ Jeff\u201d Johnson, who was lessee of the hotel ; and to be suspected that said Johnson, in local parlance, © stood in with them.\u201d With this man had come to Barker's his daughter Sarah, commonly known as Sally,\u201d a handsome Bgirl with a straight lithe figure, fine features, reddish auburn hair, and dark-blue eyes.It is but fair to say that even the \u201c toughs\u201dof a place like Barker\u2019s show some respect for the other sex; and Miss Sally\u2019s case was no exception to the rule.The male population admired her ; they said she \u2018\u201c put on heaps of style ;\u201d but none ofthem had seemed to make ony progress in her good grace.On a pleasani afternoon, just after the track had been laid some miles west of Barker's and construction trains were run- ing with some regularity to and from there of, Sinclair sat on the rude verandah of the engineer\u2019s quarters smeking his well color ed meerschaum and looking at the sunset.The atmosphere had been so clear during the day that glimpses were had of Long\u2019s and Pike\u2019s peaks, and, as the young engi neer gazed at the gorgeous cloud display, he was thinking of miner\u2019s quaint and pathetic idea that the dead go over the range.\u201d « Nice-looking, ain\u2019t it, Major 7° asked a voice at his elbow, and he turned to see one of the contractor's officials taking a seat near him.¢ More than a nice-looking tomy mind, Sam,\u201d he replied.* What is the news to-day 7° \u201cNothin\u2019 much.There\u2019s a sight of talk about the doin\u2019s of them faro an\u2019 keno sharps.The boys is gettin\u2019 kinder riled, fur they allow the game ain\u2019t on the square wutha cent.Some of \u2019em down to the tie-camp wuz a-talkin\u2019 about a vigilance committee an\u2019 I wouldn\u2019t, be surprised ef they meant business.Hev yer heard about the young feller that come in a week apo from Laramie an\u2019 set up a new faro bank ?\u201d « No.What about him ?\u201d « Wall, yer see he\u2019s a feller thet\u2019s got a lot of sand an\u2019 ain\u2019t a-feared of nobody, an\u2019 he\u2019s allowed to hev the deal to his place on the square every time.Accordin\u2019 to my idee, gamblin\u2019s about the wust racket a feller Lin work, but it takes all sorts of men to make a world and ef the boys is bound to hev a game I calkilate they\u2019d like to patronize his bank.Thet\u2019s made the old crowd mighty mad, an\u2019 they're a talking about puttin\u2019 up a job of cheatin\u2019 on him an\u2019 then stringin\u2019 him up.Besides, I kinder think there's some cussed jealousy on another lay as comesin.Yer see the young feller\u2014Cyrus Foster\u2019s his name \u2014is sweet on thet gal of Jeff Johnson\u2019s.Jeff wuz to Laramie before he come here, an\u2019 Foster knowed Sally up there.I allow he moved here to see her.Hello! If there they ain\u2019t a comin\u2019 now.\u201d Down a path leading from the town, past the railroad buildings, and well on to the prairie, Sinclair saw the girl walking with the ¢ young feller.\u201d He was talking earnestly to her, and her eyes were cast down.She looked pretty, and, in a way, graceful ; and there was in her attire a noticeable attempt at ueatness and a faint reminiscence of bygone fashions.After breakfast next morning, when Sinclair was sitting at the table in his office, busy with maps and plans, the deor was thrown open and Foster, panting for breath, ran in.\u201c Major Sinclair,\u201d he said, speaking with difficulty, \u201cI\u2019ve no claim on you, but I ask you to protect me.The other gamblers are going to hang me.They are more than ten to one.They will track me here, and, unless you harbor me, I'm a dead man.\u201d Jo be continued.\u2018WASHINGTON, D.C., May 15th, 1880.Gentlemen\u2014Having been a sufferer for a long time from nervous prostration and general debility, I was advised to try Hop Bitters.I have taken one bottle, and I have been rapidly getting better ever since, and I think it the best medicne I ever used.Iam now gaining strength and appetite, which was all gone, and I was in despair until I tried your Bitters.Iam now well, able to go about and do my own work.Before taking it, I was completely prostrated.MRS.MARY STUART.NOTICH- THE ATLANTIC & NORTH-WEST RAILWAY COMPANY will apply to the Dominion Parliament, at its next Session, for the passage of an Act confirming the sale of a portion of ite line of Railway to the Ontario & Quebec Railway Company, and granting to the Company all powers and authority requisite to give effect to the conditions of the said sale.By order of the Board.HARRY CUTT, Secretary.Montreal, 39th Nov., 1883.2m 287 S LAPERORE) (AFTER.CTRO-VOLTAIC BELT and other ELECTRIC APPLIANCES are sent on 30 Days\u2019 Trial TO MEN ONLY, YOUNG OR OLD, who are suffering from ERVOUS DEEILITY, ST VITALITY, WASTING WEAKNESSES, and all those diseases of & PERSONAL NATURE, resulting from ABUSEs and OTHER CAUSES.Speedy relief and complete restoration to HEALTH, ViGoR and MANHOOD UARANTEED, Send at once for Illustrated Pamphlet free.Address YOLTAIC BELT CO., Marshall, Mich._\u2014_\u2014_\u2014_\u2014_\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 November 23 W D fmw 280 MAMMOTH POSTERS!

Ce bon General Pataques !\u201d\u201d Words, music and stage ausiness combine to make this number pleasing.It was heartily redemanded last night, and is sure to become popular.The performance was an

farcical play, resembling those of the German school in construction, but essentially American-Chicagoan, in fact,-in character and action.It has evidently been written with the view of keeping Mr.Raymond upon the stage first, last, and all the time, and it follows that the fun is incessant.If laughter is evidence of happiness, those who witnessed the performance last night were In Paradise for acouple of hours.In the first act we have the old « bummer \u201d of the mining camp, with his pretty daughter, who loves the penniless oung fellow, but her parent appoints- as Ler guardian the wicked adventurer, who learns his ward is a wealthy heiress, and roposes to marry her later on.The ajor returns to the practice of the law, and, settling in Chicago, is ultimately the means of punishing the adventurer and uniting the lovers\u2014the young fellow meanwhile having * struck it rich.\u201d There is much of original and telling incident in the development of the story.In short, it is a play to see, laugh at, and thoroughly enjoy without analyzing too closely.Weber Hall.MME.PARRATT\u2019S CONCERT.This lady already so well known to the musical public of Montreal, gave a very interesting concert last evening in the Weber Hall, being assisted by Miss Louise Morrison, Miss Pauline Saxe, Messrs.Septimus Fraser, and H, Baker, Mr.J.J.Rowan, Major Hopper, Herr Ruppell and Mr.W.Reed\u2014all musicians of undoubted talent and ability.Mme.Parratt appeared in several instrumental selections, piano and harp, and also sang Giebel\u2019s *¢ When the Swallows come again,\u201d and two duets with Miss Morrison and a trio with Major Hopper and Mr.Rowan.The concert was musically a great success, and an unqualified treat to those present.Royal Theatre Museum, A well filled

Mechanics\u2019 Hall yesterday the performances were witnessed by large audiences, and it is not too much to say that all went away well satisfied.SABBATH OBSERVANCE.Important Meeting of the Evangelical Alliance, In accordance with a previous public notice a meeting was held yesterday afternoon under the above auspices, in the American Presbyterian Church.Although the attendance was not as large as was desired,\u2014which was accounted for by the fact of a similar imeeting of a branch of the same society being held elsewhere,\u2014 yet the proceedings were, none the less of the deepest interest to the welfare of the citizens of Montreal.Of clergymen present we noticed the Right Rev.Bishop U ssher, Reverends Principal McVickar, J.B, B'azk Dr.Wilkes Stevenson, Nichols, Lucas, Hili, Galbraith and Upham.The meeting was opened with prayer by the Rev.Mr.Nichols.Rev.Dr.Stevenson then moved that Bishop Ussher take the chair, which was carried, the Rev.Mr.Black acting as Secretary.THE SECRETARY read the minutes of a former meeting, followed by a few remarks as to the object of this meeting, and stated that the subject that was about to be discussed was Sabbath Observance in connection with the temporal and spiritual welfare and condition of the Protestaut inmates within the Female Prison, Long Pointe Asylum, Reformatory for Boys and other similar institutions.REVD.MR.NICHOLS followed and said that although he had not been one of the immediate promoters ot the meeting he took the deepest interest in it.In connection with Sabbath breaking he would first call the attention of his hearers to the management of the City Passenger Railway.Here, said he, there was great need of a change for the better.He had taken pains to call upon some of the drivers and conductors on these conveyances in regard to their ability, in connection with their other duties, to attend Sunday worship, and was informed that with but rare exceptions they were unable to do so.This, he said, was not in accord with the rinciples of a Christian people and a Christian city, and he strongly urged that means should be promptly found if possible (and he thought it could be) to eradicate this flagrant evil.He also went on to show that in different parts of the city billiard rooms, saloons, fruit and cigar stores, in many of which liquor was sold, were open on Sunday, and that he was informed by a knowing one that if any one of these places were visited by him he would become utterly amazed.The speaker further stated that these were not the only evils in our midst in broad daylight that had to be crushed out, but skating rinks were also in full swing on the Sabbath, notably that on Chatham street, and that it was a well known fact that it was far more extensively patronized on Sunday than upon any other day of the week.A detective had told him that he knew of otiier rinks that were in operation on Sunday, and that in connection with some of these in a measure and near at hand were to be found some of the lowest dens of iniquity, and in support of this he referred to several institutions and some of their inmates\u2014for instance, the Lying-in Hospi.tal\u2014as to the terr:ble curse resulting from these baneful influences.The speaker said the Chief of Police had been interviewed and that he was of the opinion that he had no right to interfere with these rinks, but that if his assistance was urged by numbers of the citizens collectively he would do all that lay in his power to meet their views.THE REVD.MR.LUCAS followed, stating that he was in favor of discussings the subject before a much larger assemblage, and thought well of an adjournment with this view.He was strongly in favor of bringing every means possible to prevent railway desecration of the Sabbath, and stated that 96 per cent.of the Grand Trunk Railway employes were with them and would support such a movement.No class of society would see that it was rigidly applied.Many of influence and power, for causes best known themselves, and now unknown to this Society, would also render strong support.He had quite recently preached twice on this subject.« REVD.DR, STEVENSOX followed at some length in the same strain, but urged caution owing to the number of Catholics in our midst, who should be induced to act in concert with them, and he knew many would.REVD.MR.GALBRAITH stated that at the Point St.race course large numbers visited 1t on the Sabbath.Mr.Lucas here stated that he was surprised to hear such a statement, and promised to speak to Mr.C.M.Acer in regard to it.The Rev.Mr.Black urged concerted action of all creeds in this movement.The Rev.Mr.Hill thought that before taking any decided action that Bishop Fabre should be approached and his valuable support enlisted.This view was concurred in by ail pregent.Mr.Matthewson stated that he was satisfied that this would have the support of the majority of right thinking Catholics.* Principal MeVicar, at considerable length, covered the ground of discussion with great ability; portraying vividly what should be done and what could be done.It was then moved by Mr.Hill thata special or citizens committee should be appoiuted to obtain the most accurate accounts bearing on the subject, and that thiscommittee should then wait upon the Mayor and Ccrpaation and urge remedial action.This was seconded by Dr.Stevenson, and carried.The following gentlemen comprize the said committee :\u2014Principal McVicar, Rev.Dr.Stevenson, Rev.Messrs, Hill, Galbraith and Nichols, Bishops Bond and Ussher, and Messrs.Childs and A.A.Ayer.The meeting then adjourned.Charles A THRILLING EXPERIENCE, The Maniac Hackman aud the Reporter, Coming out of the Theatre itoyal last night, and wishing to reach the Windsor Hotel with all possible speed, Tur HeErALD reporter fancied that by taking a hack he would soonest accomplish his object.In this design he was aided and abetted by a gang of carters who clamored hungrily for his patronage.Selecting a man at random, the writer followed hitn down the long line of sleighs in order to reach his particular vehicle, and even at that early stage of the proceedings was struck with surprise at the cheerful blasphemy of the man, and the hilarity with which he chuckled over his luck in securing a fare ahead of his compeers.The sleighs being reached at last,the carter exchanged some further chaff, more distinguished for redundancy of epithets than for elegancey of diction, with his fellows, and then mounted the box.Drawing his whip and discharging about a dozen vicious cuts at his steed, each lash being accompanied by half a dozen good soli unornamented oaths, the cabby managed to start off with such a sudden jerk as nearly to dislocate the spinal column of his fare and to pull himself so far over the dashboard that lis head bobbed helplessly against the animal\u2019s tail.Recovering his equipoise in some miraculous manner, for the sleigh was by this time flying over cahots in the most unpleasant way, he let fly a ®few more aimless cuts at the.nag\u2019s off ear and settled down to solid driving.It then dawned upou the reporter, as he straightened the kinks out of his back, pulled his cap from off his eyes, and braced himself firmly in his seat, that his driver had been coquetting with the rosy\u2014gazing upon the wine when it was red\u2014In short, that he was drunk.If any doubts remained in bis mind upon this point it was soon dispelled by the eccentric style of the cabby\u2019s driving.First in the deep snow on one side of the street, then in a drift on the other, now dashing upon a snow bank at an inclined angle of forty-five, and then sliding down three feet of slippery descent on the the sidewalls, bumping over hills and dales, shaving lamp posts, scattering pedestrians at corners, the drive was indeed a perilous one, full of dread moments and sighs of sudden relief when some imminent accident was happily averted.The driver, too, seemed possessed with the spirit of unrest, Firat sitting on the left aide of his lofty perch, then on the right, now standing up and anon leaning far over the dash-board in order to get in a particularly good cut at his poor beast, he was indeed a sight to behold, aud caused the unfortunate * fare\u201d to thrill with terror.Nor through all these antics was he for an instant silent, his tongue kept time to the unceasing lash of the whip, oaths, chiefly addressed to his horse, rolled from his lips in an unending stream.Finally he disappeared from the affrighted gaze of the reporter altogether, and still the steed held on his wild career.Gloomy thoughts filled the mind of the rash press man, tales of dieastrous runaways, broken limbs, fractured skulls maniac drivers and what not floated swiftly through his brain.Unable to endure the dread suspense any longer, he rose up and standing on the seat peered anxiously over the box seat to ascertain whathad become of the driver.Had he fallen off ?Fearful thought\u2014his mangled corpse might even then be dragging behind the horse\u2019s heels.No there he was, huddled up on the foot board\u2014grasping for something\u2014perhaps a knife to take his passenger's life.The reporter glanced wildly around, would it do to risk a leap, \u2014no, the pace was too terrible.The man slowly rose up, and in a gruff voice, at the same time relieving himself of some execrations, which for poetie imagery of construction, his hearer Ë equalled, explained that he had only dropped his reins\u201d At length, after what seemed hours of anguish but were in reality only minutes of actual time, the welcome lights of Dominion Square hove in sight.Dashing round the corner the portal of the Windsor was reached, and hastily dismounting the reporter placed a quarter in the hand of swaying cabby and vanished inside the hotel ere the latter could recover presence of mind enough to verbally annihilate him.MEETING IN ST, ANN'S WARD.Immense Enthusiasm.A crowded meeting of the electors of this ward was held last night at Stotts\u2019 Hotel by the friends of Mr.Moses Malone.Amongst those present were Mr.F.Pyke, who acted as chairman, Mr.M.Walsh, \u2018Mr.Pat.Kenny, Tom.Duggan, Wm.Davis, E.Greenleaf, Robt.Brown, Geo.Clark, John Kane, E.Laflamme, P.Stanford, Eusebe Lapierre,

Kelly, H.O'Neil, G.Moffatt, Leon Larin, Louis Monette, Jas.O.Gorman, L.Dufresne, 1.Metayer, S.Harrison and many others.\u2019 Stirring speeches were made, denouncing ad seldom heard\u2019 The feeling was very strong against the alderman, and many of the Apeakers said that he would be taought a severe lessen, which would be a warning to others seeking the suffrages of the people, that honesty was the best policy A USEFUL INVENTION.Our reporter was shown yesterday in the Water Department, City Hall, an apparatus which promises to be of great utility in this and other cities.The necessity which is proverbially the mother of invention,was in this case the great trouble experienced, especially during the winter season in getting at the service boxes situ\u201d ated at some depth below the sidewalls and indicated by a small circular iron cap bearing the letters \u2018\u201c\u2018 M.W.W.\u201d It has happened frequently that in laying new sidewalks or pavements these caps have failed of being replaced, and on occasion arising for the water to be turned off from a certain house could not be found, thus giving rise to much trouble, inconvenience, loss of time and expense.The diagram below shows the new and simple mechanism which is designed to replace the service box now in use.The water supply pipes, marked by index fiugers pointing in the direction of the flow of water, 1s tapped at a certain point outside the house and to it attached a sliding valve, which is worked by a pision moving in an airtight cylinder and subject to air pressure of 100 !bs.or more applied by an air force pump.The air cylinder [A] has two quarter-inch tubes connecting it with the interior of the house, these tubes entering with the water pipe, being there tightly capped with nuts iuitialled 5 [shut] and O [open].In order to turn off the water from a certain house, the man charged with that duty enters and applies a small hand air pump to the tube 8; two strokes are generally sufficient to force down the piston and valve and shut off the water, the pressure of the water on the valve being an additional force and constitutiug a resistance which is overcome in opening the valve by making the tube O somewhat larger than the other, and so exerting a greater pressure on the lower side of the piston.This invention, conceived by Mr.Le- sage, Superintendent of the Water Department, and constructed by Mr.Kearney, of the wheel-house, has been patented by the latter, and will be exhibited at the next meeting of the Water Committee, when it will probably be adopted for use, as besides its numerous other advantages it will cost about one-half of the present service-boxes.The air cylinder and water-chest are contained io a brass casting three inches long and about two wide.Our diagram merely shows the principle of the mechanism, and represents the valve as closed, and the valve ehut off, A.A.being the cylinder, and W.the water-chest :\u2014 jo A s jo ER a 8.P.C.W.&C, First Annual Meeting.The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Women and Children met in the rooms of the Natural History Society last evening, for the election of officers for the ensuing year and the reception of the annual report for the past year.The President, Mr.Henry Lyman, occupied the chair, with Mr.Hollis as Secretary.The Chairman in a brief address surveyed the labors of the Society for the past year, pointing out the great and beneficial werk that it was doing and the many substantial evidences that were before them of commendable ard merciful achievements recorded in the interest of society at large.He was delighted, as he felt sure all present were, to see that so much good had been done with the limited resources of the society.However, there was much to be encouraged at in the fruits of the past year\u2019s labor, and it was apparent at once that the society had won the sympathy of the public, and the good work it had done and was doing would win for it the most liberal support in the continuance of its labors and the furtherance of its objects.The reports were then read, and showed most praiseworthy services rendered to the abused and distressed, the poor and the needy, by the Society\u2019s officers.The most important feature In connection with the work of the Society was the fact set forth \u2018in the report that the large number of 314 children had come under the notice of the Society, and had been placed in institutions which afforded to them the necessaries and moderate comforts of life, at the same time giving to them the moral, intellectual and practical knowledge which would lead to the influencing and guiding of them in paths of life which would ensure to the community profitable and creditable citizens.Stirring addresses were made in behalf of the good work of the Society by Messrs.D.A.P.Watt, G.A.Childs, M.C, Mul- larky, 8.Carsley, Ald.Stroud and others.The following gentlemen were then elect ed officers for the ensuing year :\u2014Mr.Henry Lyman, President ; Messrs, Charles Alexander and 8, Carsley, Vice-Presidents; Mr.J.J.Maclaren, Q.C., Honorary Couun- sel; Mr.J.A.Harte, Treasurer, and Mr.EK.Hollis, Secretary.Directors\u2014Ald.Stroud, Messrs.J.Finlay, G.W.Stephens, M.P.P., Alex.Manson, Fred.Whitley, John Lovell, M.C.Mullarky, H.Beau- graad, Dr.F.W.Campbell, Geo.Childs, Dr.Baker Edwards, A.G.Whitley and Ww.M.Fuller.GOSSIP FROM THE POINT.The Grand Trunk shops are very slack at present, the men working only about orty hours a week.The St.Matthew\u2019s congregation (Presbyterian) are discussing the advisability of erecting a new edifice to cost about $30,000.\u2018The seating capacity of their present church is altogether inadequale for their wants.We would call the attention of Ald.i Tansey to the miserably ineflicient way } our side streets are lit.e have at best with enough oil to keep them burning till daylight\u2014in fact, they are often out by 10.30 or 11 p.m.This is not very convenient to the numerous belated wayfarers who have to go to their homes late at might or early in the morning from the G.T.R.If we cannot have gas lamps let us at least have sufficient coal oil ones, and enough oil to keep them burning.A policeman informed our reporter that he was tired of notifying the authorities about the matter.The \u201cbilly goat\u201d controversy is likely to assume large proportions.Some folk maintain that besides being offensive the goats are quite an acquisition to the beauty of the thoroughfares.What can be prettier than nalf-a-dozen \u201cbillies\u201d plavfully butting each other and passers-by, nibbling at telegraph poles, sidewalks, dry goods; assiduously distributivg and investigating the contents of the garbage box: 8 over tue streets ?&c., &c., &c.And again, unlces be useless as a marketable commodity, for we understand Masons, Oddfellows, and others, only buy good streng, frisky specimens; for others there is no sale.If this is 80, and it is proved Ald.Tansey was instrumental in having them impounded, then away with hun will be the cry of the intelligent electors.IMPORTANT When you visit or leave New York

was made for some time, but upon re-meet- ing, after each member of the Committee being proposed, no seconder was to be had, each being a candidate for the position, and as yet the Committee is without a chairman.The Government has rented the lower portion of the Victoria Hall for the purpose of making it a place of exhibit for a portion of the Canadian collection shown at the Fishery Exhibition in London.The various specimens are now being unpacked and placed in position, and as soon as they are arranged the hall will be open to the public.Messrs.Norquay and Leacock will have the

view to holding a special session of the Court on Tuesday, the 12th prox.The reason of the enlargement of the application was that affidavits were presented on behalf of Mr.Hawkins, representing that it would not be possible to have the necessary documents printed before the regular session of the Court on February 19.Mr.Davis, Q.C., appeared in behalf of Mr.Mills and Mr.Hector Cameron, Q.C., in behalf of Mr.Hawkins.At a meeting of the Exchequer Court to-day, the case of the Queen vs.the Bank of Montreal occupied the attention of the Court.This case arises out of the failure of the Bank of Prince Edward Island and involves the sum of $30,000 being the amount of a cheque drawn by the Receiver-General through the Bank of Montreal a few days before the Prince Edward Island Bank suspended payment.Judgment was reserved.essrs.Purvis and Mutchmer, two of the delegation from the farmers\u2019 convention in Manitoba, have arrived in the city.Mr.Martin, the other member, is expected in a day or two.They promptl put themselves in communication wit the Manitoba members and Mr.Norquay and asked their co-operation in urging the demands of the Manitoba farmers.QUEBEC.Mr.Malhiot Wants à

call extended by the St.Andrew\u2019s congregation, Orangeville, to Rev.James Scott, of Owen Sound, but as St.Andrew\u2019s are unable to unite im a call no action was taken.A serious runaway occurred this afternoon.Wilson, coachman for Mr.Mara, stock broker, was driving a spirited horse along Adelaide street, when the animal bolted.The sleigh collided with an iron fence, throwing Vrilson with great force against the fence, He was picked u bruised, bleeding and insensible, and it is feared he is seriously injured.The horse continued on its way, knocking over three ladies, a hod carrier and a gentleman in front of a building under erection, but not seriously injuring them.Before it was captured it knocked over several others.The animal was severely cut and may have to be shot.À conference of representatives from different municipalities commenced here this morning relative to the proposed amendments to the Assessment Act.De- putatione are present from Ottawa, Hamilton, Brockville, Cobourg, Hastings, Belleville, London, Guelph, St.Cathar- ines, Northumberland, Bothwell and Toronto.The conference will last several days.Lonpon, Jan.29.\u2014On the 3rd October last G.A.Causlon, of London East, was knocked down by footpads on the highway and robbed of $40.One of the parties suspected was Thos.Fitzsimmons, of London East, but he could not be found, His father at the time obtained a warrant to arrest his own son should he cross his path.The old man declared he would see the law of his country enforced even if he had to bring his own son before the bench, Yesterday the sad sight was witnessed of the father leading the son to justice The evidence was sufficient to send the young man to trial, and the father brought his son to the gaol yesterday evening.Mrs.Peggy McLain, an old resident of Hantrey, C.S.R., was found dead in her bed a day or so ago.As she lived alone nobody knew how long she had been lying ead, but from the appearance of the body and the lowing of starving cattle it is surmised she had been dead three or four days.There were found on her person $25 in cash and a cheque on the bank in Norwish for $4,000.She haa some children, but would not allow them to live with her for fear that they would spend some of her money.PARIS, Jan.29.\u2014A number of the diocese of Hamilton were entertained at a banquet given here

last pait and the 27th day of December last past did you sell any spirituous intoxicating liquors 1\u201d He said the answer might tend to crimi- nate him.Connolly was then committed for contempt.A writ of habeas eorpus was sued out and the Judges after agreement and decision ordered Connolly\u2019s release, They held that although under the provisions of the Scott Act the defendant was compellable to give evidence he was not bound to answer any questions, the answer to which might tend to criminate himself.Harrrax, N.S., Jan, 29.\u2014At a meeting of the City Council this afternoon, Aldermen MacCoy, Stephen and Shand, with Hon.A.G.Jones and T.E.Kenny, were appointed delegates to proceed to Ottawa in conjunction with delegations from Quebec and St.John, with a view of pressing

stomach has been made by Dr.Vallee, of Quebec, and arsenic was found.The Coroner\u2019s jury will in a day or two be called together, probably on the 31st instant, when further developments are expected.LATEST COMMERCIAL NOTES.Victoria Insurance Company.HAMILTON, Ont, Jan.29\u2014At the annual meeting of the Victoria Mutual Fire Insurance Company to-day, Geo.H.Mills was elected President, Joseph Rymal Vice-President, and W.D.Braoker Secretary, The New York Steck Market, Nrw York, Jan.29.\u2014Stocks closed strong, with an advancing tendency.The Post says : There was a more decided improvement in general tone in the stock market this afternoon than in any time for a month, caused mostly by the increasing prospects that the difficulties between the Iowa Roads will be amicably settled without any cutting of rates and also an actual restoration of rates in Utah traffic.Assigned in Trust.Toroxto, Jan.29.-McClung, Briggs & Co., wholesale millinery and fancy dry goods, whose suspension was reported recently, finding it impossible to weather the storm, have assigned in trust.Liabilities and assets are not yet ascertained.The Toronto Lumber Failures.ToroNTO, Jan.29.\u2014In connection with the assignment of the American Lumber Company all sorts of wild rumors were afloat.From reliable information obtained, the position is as follows: The Scotch shareholders have decided that the Company go into liquidation.It appears that that there is a dispute exigting between the Company and vendors of timber limits in Michigan as to the class of timber the Company had a right to cut, and pending the solution of that question the Scotch shareholders, being those principally interested, decided that the Company go into liquidation.Therefore they assigned to Playfair & Lockie, of Toronto, Cutcheon, of Detroit, and another in Scotland.The subscribed capital of the Company is over $1,000,- 000, and it is said that the shareholders only will be losers.The Bank of Toronto, with whom the Company dealt, is fully secured, and the liabilities to outside creditors are only a few thousand dollars, which it is believed will be paid in full.There is nothing at present, as far as can be ascertained to justify the statement that the British Canadian Lumbering & Timber Company will go into liquidation.A short time ago the Company gave a mortgage to the Bank of ommerce on its timber and timber limits for advances made, and subse- uently the Bank of Toronto and the Quebec Bank also secured themselves.Within the past few days three trustees have been appointed representing these banks, which had probably given rise to the rumor of financial difficulties.But another theory is the assignment of the American Lumber Company, some of the members of whose Board are also members of

the benefits of the national bankin system shall be substantially improved and continued for the time being provided for ; this resolution \u201chall not be construed to be a declaration in favor of a perpetation of the public debt.The Tariff Reform Question.Representative Morrison\u2019s tariff bill provides for a general horizontal reduction of 20 per cent., but in no event is the reduction to be lower than the tariff rates in the Morrill bill of 1861.[Note.\u2014 Mr.Morrison is chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means.] A Comptroller on Banking.Comptroller Knox was before the Senate Finance Committee last week giving his review on the McPherson banking bill The proceedings were made public to-day.The comptrollor thought the Sherman bill and the Aldrich substitute more simple for every one to comprehend.He did not think the profit on circulation issue at par on four per cent.quite enough to induce banks to invest largely in them.He expressed a preference for the Aldrich substitute, making provision for the change of fours into threes, and the payment by the Government of fifteen per cent.He said this furnishes a method of disbursing the surplus revenue, and prevents the calling of the threes and the anticipated contraction, He thought a three per cent.bond running for twenty-three years, the same as fours, would be worth about 8 per
