Epiphany.The Della Crugcans derive the word from Carne-avallare, thereby referring it to the extraordinary quantity of fresh-meat thatis consumed during the period ; and from some of the old accounts of medieval carnivals there is much in favor of this theory.Ferrario produces an older record in favor of his doctrine that Carnival is a corruption of the term Carnalia, which he traces back to old Roman times as the development of Bacchanalia and Lupercalia.The Spanish authorities derive the word from the term Carnes tollendas, and the ecclesiastics believe of course that it eriginated with the partial fasting of the priesthood before Lent, known as cornis privium sacerdotum, which is rather à different sentiment from that entertained by the Della Cruscans.Many other theories might be brought forward ; such as carne-a-val, or the flesh put into the pot, oarnelevamen, etc.; but after all these * conflicting suggestions have been sifted there is no doubt that the fundamental \u2018idea of each is carnivorous in some form or other, and that feasting was the natural outgrowth of the faney.The Low Latin word earnis privium is connected with Lent, and the term seems to have been adapted at a very early time toward that season, if it did not originate in connection with it.There is another word applied to the time in Italy and that is Carnauciale; but it is rarely used now, though it was common in olden days.It referred to the great quantity of meat eaten and seme authorities maintain it to be the old form of the word.However, \u201c What\u2019s in a name ?\u201d\u2019 The .eustom is older than the word, in whatever way the latter may be spelled.About the beginning of the New Year there seems to have always been some occasion for a great festival amongst most nations, old or young, that knew any\" thing at all of the seasons.The Carnival is one form and has, doubtless, existed in Italy since the days of the last Bacchanalian or Lupercalian festivals, taking its placed after heathenism left the city of Rome and Christianity took its stead therein, The same idea continued in the eld Druid festivals, the Yuletide of the northern races and the Festival of Fools of mediæval ages ; indeed, many peoples in many times seem to have held a Carnival of some kind, and it would not be surprising if the custom was not really started in the far East, whence so much of the habits and customs, folklore and fable of the civilized West of to-day originated, The direct forerunner of the modern Italian Carnival was the old Roman Bacchanalia, which could not be destroyed by the Church and therefore either had to be converted into a more respectable form and recognized as a pub- licfestival, or else consigned to the realms of things accursed.Of the two evils, the early Church was wise enough to choose the lesser, and in converting this old heathen custom into a meane of preserving its authority over the people, the old ecclesiastical court gave evidence of that far-sighted and astute policy that has characterized its decisions on many other Occasions in later years.The value of the Carnival as a commer- eial enterprise was well-known in the earliest days of its history, and the more attractive it could be made the more humerous would be the influx of neighboring and foreign visitors, For the pur- AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE VOL.LXXVI.\u201430.MONTREAL, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1884.PRICE, ONE CENT pose of stimulating the trade of its populace, every large city in Italy put forth a Carnival programme, vieing in the diversions and amusements offered.Turin, Florence, Milan, Venice, Naples and Rome held the chief Carnivals, Of these, the Venetian revels used to be the most magnificent and those of Florence the most licentious; but the only Carnival worth seeing to-day isthat at Rome, and this is now very different from what it was even thirty years ago.Thedecay of the Papal power in the Eternal City has had a damaging influence on the vitality of the Carnival, for the Popes since the earliest times have been largely interested in the Carnovale, and the revenue of the Church has received no inconsiderable additions from this very worldly source.The history of the relations between the Church aud the Carnivals of Rome would make a very large and interesting volume; for the records are full of most curious items of information.It was the duty of the Cardinal Vicar to superintend the whole of the arrangements for the Carnival, and he always endeavored to make the programme as attractive as possible and to allow the revellers as much latitude as the circle of Roman morality would encompass.There are, however, instances recorded of some of the Popes.amongst whom were Clement IX.and Benedict XIII.who professed to be so opposed to the Carnival that they would retire into some convenient convent during its progress and spend their time in devotional exercises, whilst the Holy City was en fete.Benedict XIV.would not allow masks to be worn in the streets on Fridays or Sundays in the Carnival time ; but most of his fellow-rulers were not very particular about the conduct of the revellers, and during the more recent history of the Papal See, the Church permitted all the liberty the people chose to take.As a signal instance of the influence the Church had over the Carni- valin Rome, we may mention that in 1809 when the French were in possession of the city, the military authorities ordered that the Carnival should take place as usual ; but Pius VII.forbade it and the streets were deserted during the week in consequence.The Roman Carnival was especially fine during the Papal reign of Paul IL, who conducted everything with the assistance of the Cardinals in a most magnificent and priucely manner ; but the coffers of the Church were full of gold at that time.Pope Pius XVI.was not of such 8 bountiful disposition, for he set up gibbets and whipping-posts over the city in the Carnival of 1585, and abolished the custom of throwing dirt, flour, mud, and refuse, which had previously been a nuisance, restricting the throwing to sweetmeats.Paul II.made the Jews pay 1,130 golden florins into the fund for the Carnival, and the odd thirty florins were especially added to remind them of Judas Iscariot.The Jews were obliged to race in the streets at Carnival time ; but this money was supposed to bé an alternative.In Jubilee years the Carnival was not allowed, and the money usually expended upon it was said to have been given to the poor instead\u2014a most laudable object if true.The Carnival of Venice was once the finest and most magnificent of these revels, and one year no less than seven ruling princes and over 30,000 foreigners flocked to that city of the sea to take part in the frolics and masquerades, pageants and races, intrigues and feast- ings, gambling and sightseeing that took place.But the Carnival of Venice is dead in reality now and is only known through that old piece de resistance performed still by musical tyros to the agony of all that hear it.St.Mark\u2019s Square will now hold all the merry maskers at the Carnival of Venice, and the city only provides a band for public dancing in the great piazza.The Carnival of Florence is a poor affair to-day compared to the old efforts of the wealthy citizens of la bella Firenze, which were characterized Ly all that the most lavish liberality of its rich revenue could command, At the same time these old Florentine revels were notorious for the grossest license that they covered, and a fair idea of the extent of profligacy indulged in may be obtained from the Carnival poems written by Lorenzo de Medici, who was fully qualified to deal with the debauched state of the society of his day.The chief features of the Mediæval Carnival were grand banquets and drinking bouts, presenting bouquets and garlands of green vegetation planting trees before the houses, dancing, masquerading, processions, throwing confetti, tournaments, racing.etc.The last named form of amusement was a great and popular one, races of all kinds being held in which chariots, riderless horses, ridden horses, Jews, sexagenarians, women, boys, etc, took part.Pig-hunt- ing and bull-baiting also used to be very popular in still older Carnivals, as was the public scourging of women.Of the feasting, Pancake Tuesday is still observed in England, and Fastnacht is a relic of the German Carnival.Every day of the long revel had different names, as Fat Sunday, Blue Monday, Black Monday, etc, applied more from fun than reason.To the Jews in Italy, the Carnival was a detested time, for they were made objects of public ridicule by being made to race, and were obliged to contribute heavily to the expenses of the week.Shakespeare knew this well, and it was doubtless of Carnival time that old Shylock was speaking when he said to his daughter :\u2014 \u2018\u2018 What, are there masques?Iear you me, Jessica ?Lock up tay deors; and when you hear the u rum And the vile squeaking ofthe wry-necked 0 Clamber not you up to the casements then, Nor thrust your head into the pubile street To gazo on Christian fools with varnish\u2019d RCes But stop my house\u2019s ears, I mean my easements: Let not the sound of shallow foppery enter My sober house.\u201d Liks all his race, the old Jew had no love of the Christian festivals in which his brethren were made real sport of.It will be remembered too that Gratiano and Salarino were masqued when Lurenzo came to steal the old Jew\u2019s daughter, who left her father\u2019s house disguised as a boy and went with the party as a torch-bearer to Bassanio\u2019s feast.In Venice, of course, the Carnival was kept on water as well as on land, and the beautiful singing to the sweet guitars as the gaily colored gondolas glided over the glittering waterways added greatly to the revelry in that regal city.In the sixteenth century the Carnival at Roms consisted of races and Jspectacu- lar pageantry principally, which occupied eight days.The races took place on the Corso and each day was devoted to a particular kind\u2014between old men, boys, Jews, horses, asses, buffaloes, etc.The prizes were prettily embroidered flags called \u201cpalio,\u201d and these were supplemented by small sums of money occasionally.The \u201c barberi \u201d were the most popular races and always have been, although great danger was attached to them and every year accidents occurred.These were the races between riderless horses, which were all started together and ran through the streets as they chose, the people making way for the animals to pass.The sports and games of the Agons consisted of processions of triumphal cars and chariots, and were magnificent spectacles.The games at Monte Testaccio took place on a huge artificial hill, made by the refuse of many generations and covered with turf.The ground was covered with spectators and every available pinnacle around was taken by the eager beholders.A gay and glittering crowd of soldiers, hunters, nobles, mountebanks, etc., occupied the central ground, where hunting matches, bull-fights, scrambling for pigs, riding matches, equestrian feats, riding at the ring, jousts, etc., fermed part of the programme.The ladies and their escorts occupied the stands erected specially for them, and added fo the gaiety of the scene.The nobles vied with each other in the rich liveries of their domestics and the gorgeous uniforms of their soldiers, and were as extravagant as they could be in providing entertainments that they might win popularity and applause.In the city the streets were filled with masked revellers, who threw flowers and sweetmeats at each other, and laughed and chatted amongst themselves over the fun of the fete.In the evening the feasting took place, and enormous suppers were provided everywhere for all-comers, plays were given in the theatres and palaces, and dancing occupied the last hours before daybreak.The present Roman Carnival, though not to be compared to the Medieval revelry, isa sight worth seeing.It occupies about ten days and different appointments are made for each day.The Gala Corso or great out-door days is the occasion when all take out their finest horses and carriages and drive about the city, gaily decked with ribbons and flags.The ladies who are not driving sit in the balconies and windows of the houses and admire or make fun of all that pass below, pelting them with flowers, which are the only projectiles allowed to be thrown on those days.On other occasions coriolandi are thrown ; \"these are imitation sweetmeats made of plaster about the size of peas, and a handful of these, thrown with some force, would not be pleasant to receive in one\u2019s face; therefore, most of the people wear masks and the best are made of wire gauze, Great cars representing ships, castles, houses, etc, are built on large waggons and dragged along by horses, gaily harnessed for the occasion.These ears are covered with garlands of flowers, colored ribbons, flags, streamers, etc, and on them are young folks who pelt at the windows and balconies as they pass along, and the occupants of the latter throw back their comfits, amidst a babble of merry laughter and a babel of sounds, all screaming at their loudest in the wildness of the fun.It is a most exciting scene, and once witnessed can never be forgotten, The \u201cBarberi\u201d races are still continued, although in 1874 they were temporarily abolished.The riderless horses are started at the Piazza del Popolo by the firing of a gun; spurs are loosely hanging to their side and goad them on, whilst, to give them a good send off, fire-crackers are tied to them and exploded as they start.Away they rush, and the people and vehicles make room for the maddened creatures as they wildly rush on until the winning animal passes the sheet hung in the Piazza di Venezia, at the place known as the Ripresia di Barberi.In their unguided race the frightened horses often knock down and trample over some few unfortunates, and a\u2018 deat or two and eeveral accidents are annual incidents of these races.The prizes are still gold lace and silken flags, with small sums of money for the owners.In the evening the theatres are open and the \u2018\u2018Veglioni\u201d are well patronized ;\u2014these are the masked balls, which extend till the sun drowns the gaslight.Private balls, suppers, and entertainments of all kinds are very numerous every evening, and itis mo difficult matter te visit & dozen places in one night.One of the most curious and amusing features of the Carnival is the \u201c Mocco- letti \u201d revel, which begins immediately after sunset on Shrove Tuesday and lasts till miduight.At the fixed time everybody lights and carries a taper, whether on the street or balcony, at the window or in house or carriage.The fun consists in each person trying to keep his or ber own taper alight whilst endeavoring to extinguish by flapping a handkerchief the lights of all around.This lasts until midnight, when a huge figure representing the Spirit of the Carnival is burned, and with the feeble flickering of the last flame thereof ends the Carnival of the year.Such is a brief sketch of the Carniva] in Sunny Italy in ancient and modern days, which we trust will prove interesting to our readers, The Carnival is not unknown in America ; revelries being held in a few of its large cities between Christmas and Lent.The principal are those of New Orleans and St.Louis.In New Orleans, which holds the best Carnival of the kind in the States, several clubs combine together and form by their mixture of artistic enterprise, gorgeous costumes and quaint characteristics a series of public processions and entertainments that are popular and picturesque.The chief clubs for this purpose are the Rex or King of the Carnival, the Mistick Krewe of Comus, the Twelfth Night Revellers, and the Knights of Momus.The series of festivities end in 4 most magnificent display on Mardi Grae.Thus are the Bacchanalia of the Romans continued in other guises in a land that was unknown to those old heathen and some of the salient features of popular amusements of more than two thousand Years ago preserved to this day.Notes.Lieut.Hall will command the cavalry escort.The Hockey rink, en the McGill College Grounds, is in magnificent condition, possessing the finest sheet of ice of any rink in the city.Complaints of extortion are already heard against lodging house keepers, one of them having demanded $15 a ay for a room with three beds in it.The bulk of the male arrivals yesterday, if they had been examined, would have been found to have been wearing cotton socks and sleeveless jerseys.As an idea of the general hospitality extended, a young lady was overheard telling another at the rink that there were going to be sixteen people at their house, including babies.Detective Kellert has been instructed by Mr.Hogan of the St.Lawrence Hall to keep an eye upon the frequenters of the hotel and eject any suspicious characters.Mr.C.C.McFall, agent of the D.and H.C.Railway Company, says that there will be twenty-one parlor cars on the New York train this morning.Mr.Hogan, of St.Lawrence Hall, announces that to obviate overcrowding and to accommodate as many guests as possible, he hae decided to keep both of the dining rooms open during the week.The Ice Palace will be closed each evening at 7.30, (and on Wednesday all day), to arrange the Fireworks, which will be started at 8 o\u2019clock, punctually, and continue for a half hour, concluding with sending off a Carnival Balloon 30 feet circumference, discharging fireworks in its flight.Mr.I.C.Henshaw, President of the St, George\u2019s Snowshoe Club, received the following despatch on Saturday from Mr.William Harder, President of the Winni- Beg branch of the St.George\u2019s Snowshoe ub :\u2014 \u201cWill be in Montreal ou Monday.Would you like small contingent from Winnipeg to join the St.George?W.HirpEr.\u201d 0 this Mr, Henshaw immediately sent the following reply

1833.1 The Inauguration of the Movement.The Organization That Carried It Through Successfully.The Programme of the Week, The Success of the 1883 Oar- nival and its Surroundings.The first meeting for the inauguration of the Carnival movement is thus reported in Toe HeraLp of November 11, 1883 :\u2014 A large and enthusiastic meeting was held at the Windsor Hotel last evening for the purpose of taking into consideration the proposed Grand Winter Carnival.Mr.R.D.McGibbon was appointed to the chair, and Mr.G.R.Starke acted as Secretary.Among the many present were noticed Messrs, C.P.Davidson, Q.C., Lt.-Col.Stevenson, Hugh Graham, F.C.Henshaw, I.A.Beauvais,Dr.W.G.Beers, Dr.Rodger C.E.Dawson, Geo.Iles, C.F.Gray, A.W.Stephenson, Stewart Howard, C.E.Torrance, W.L.Matthews, Dr.Guerin, T.V.R.Brown, Jas.Williamson, Wm.Skelton, A.Brunet and mauy others.Some die- cussion ensued in regard to the programme of sports during the Carnival, and it was suggested to have, among other attractions, a torchlight procession on snowshoes, illumination of the hills for tobogganing, a carnival in the skating riok, snowshoers\u2019 races, trotting races on the ice, a parade of the tandem club, a hockey match, etc, etc.A committee was appointed to draft a programme, the extent of which will depend entirely upon the liberality of the citizens and others interested in the movement.The hope was expressed that in view of the many advantages that Montreal will derive from the Carnival, that the citizens would subscribe liberally.The Carnival will, in all probability, take place towards the end of January.A committee to take charge of the financial portions of the arrangements was also named last evening, and the two committees will report to a meeting to be held on Friday evening next.Judging from thelenthusissm displayed ut last evening\u2019s meeting, the Carnival promises to be a success, and it only needs the hearty and generous support of the citizens to make it worthy of Montreal.From this meeting sprang the Carnival, with all its labors for willing workers, al] its pleasures for the participants and sightseers, all its great variety of outdoor games and sports, and its profits for railways, hotels, boarding houses, restaurants and places of amusement, and all the fame which has attached to Montreal as the one place in all Canada, if not in all America, where a Winter Carnival of this description can be most successfully carried through.The following gentlemen composed the organization to which the success of the Carnival was mainly due

visitor.[i wus erected on Dominion square tu front f Montreal's palace hotel, the Windsor, and iere was to be seen truly a fairy lice structure, which in its design and all appointments called forth the applause awd admiration of the tens of thousands who vizwed it.The formal inauguration took place on the evening of the opening day.Lung before the appointed hour for this, the actual send-off to the Carnival, were to be seen great masses of moving humanity wending their \u2018way through our thurougifures intent upon witnessing Lue grand illumination} As regards the attendance what with citizens, vi-iturs and numerous sport ing clubs, n.tabiy stowshoers, it was computed that at feast 25,000 persons was in the immediate vicinity of the Palace.The inauguration was attended with the greatest brilliancy and success.The structy was about 90 feet square, with rectangular towers at each corner, and a centre tower of nearly 80 feet iu height, and when lighted up by eleven electric lights the effect as viewed from the exterior was memorably grand.The first signal that all was in order and that the fairy-like Ice Palace was an assured success and open to the public, was à rocket, which was also the signal for the hundreds of suowshoers, | belonging tu the several clubs, to fall into line of march.Bengal lights and torches were then in order, and with the Windsor Hotel a blaze of light un the one side, the Ice Palace, through its lovely crystal blocks, sbedding a most brilliant body of light in all directions, and the hundreds of torches of the snow- shoers withiut\u2014:0 these added the presence of 25,000 apeutators\u2014and the sight wus one the equal of which had not previously been witnessed on this continent.One of the features of opening day, it will be remembered, was the Contractors\u2019 Drive, which has been an annual affair for years; but it was an exceptionally in teresting meet on this special oc.asion.The attendance was large and the numer ous turnouts quiie imposing and suggestive, by the profusion of wrappings and fura, of the intensity of the cold and the lively expectations of the participants, Witih the usual generous spirit manifested by the contractors, many visitors were iu.vited to juin them in their festivities, and accepted the drive and the dinner at Back River, A contisuous and leading feature throughout the gala period was the Cur ling Tournament, and too much praise and credit cannot be given to the various clubs which took part in it, and especially tu the gentlemen who had charge of this old timed and, itis to be hoped, never dying pastime and sport.Its success was without interruption from beginning to end, and probably aided as much to the attracliveness and enthusiasm of the period as anything else presented, barring tobogganing ou our grand old hill and slopes.Upwards of fifteen clubs took part in the Bonspiel, com prising the leading Do.winion clubs and two American clubs, the latter being the \u201cThistle\u201d of New York, aad tlie \u201c Burns\u201d of Ogdensburg.Playing was indulged in almost without Cessar tien, both upon the enclosed and river rinks, and many a hot and exciting contest marked the progress of the noble sport.Ever te the credito! this gala sport, born and reared in the lap of old Scotia, be it said that throughout the entire week notwithstauding that at times the river rinks were fur from being in the most desirable condition, there was not discernable what could be termed a jar or disagreement, no matter how fierce the contests grew.Many strange faces were naturally met, new acquaintances made, and lasting friendships formed.At the hands of the home cluvs unlavished Lospitality was the order cf the day, and nothing was left undone that could be done to make this meeting the foundation of last ing good will and friendship.The climax was reached, so far as the curlers were concerned, in the shape of a grand banquet which wus given on the evening of the third day of the Carnival at the Queen\u2019s Assembly Hall.At this entertainment were His Worship Mayor Beaudry, United States Consul-General Starns, representatives fiom theneighbor- ing Republic, members of Parliament, and many of our leading towasmen.Another feature, aud one that will be long remembered by hundreds of our visitors who participated in the wild and stirring sport, was the tobogganing hills and their alluring attractions.To our United States friends it was really a novel and all captivating pastime, although in not a few instances it was necessary to use no small degree of persuasion to induce them [especially of the gentler çex] to try \u201c just one slide.\u201d In most instances our gallant young folks were successful, which, accomplished, paved the way to an unbroken engagement in this sport of all Canadian sports.Every arrangement was made for the entertainment and comfort of all visitors, and the scene a3 reccived at a short dis- tauce from the bills in the bright, sharp and frosty mooulight\u2014enlivened as it was by the hundreds of torcheson either side of the slopes to the base\u2014was most enchanting and fairy-like in effect, and one which could not but be indelibly impressed on the minds of all who were ejther participants in the sport or spectators.On the afternoon of the second day Mayor Beaudry tendered an\u2018 At Home,\u201d which was attended by numbers of lead ing citizens and visitors and which passed ofl very agreeably.On the following morning the Civic Dujeuner took place at the Windsor Hotel, where were congregated the leading lights of our city\u2019s social life, their number augmented by many prominent gentlemen from pear and far, and who, during the dinner, added greatly to the success of the occasion by opportune and graceful speeches.The Grand Drive through the principal streets of the city was a very imposiag scene, and one which only Montreal can per ICE PALACE COMMITTRE.> 2 \u2014 _ )

the Executive as honor- tical to those who have never had an opportunity of witnessing the leading thoroughfares of our city on almost any winter's afternoon, but on this occasion the turn- eut of livery and equipages probably far excelled anything of thekind, iu imposing effect and magnificence of appointment ever witnessed here.In fact, the afternoon was almost wholly abandoned to the entertainment of our numerous visitors, and every one seemed earnest in trying to outdo his ueighbor in extending private hospitality in the shape of comfortable sleighs, fast and exciting driving, and in directing attention to our city\u2019s palatial homes, grand \u2018public institutions aud solid mercantile warehouses.St.James, Notre Dame and the upper streets in the western part of the city presented a moving panorama of winter teams, such as must be seen to be fully appreciated.Added to this brief review of the Carni- wal programme were trotting rases, skating races, both on rink and river, and one of the most imposing and brilliant fancy dress entertainment ever given in this city.Victoria Skating Rink was the scene of this, and to attempt todo even partial justice to the completeness of the arrangements and give full credit to those who had this great success of the Carnival period in hand\u2014to say mothing of the beauty, wealth and elegance of attire there: presented\u2014would require far more space than our columns will permitat the moment.And now we come to the last but essentially the crowning feature of this long to be remembered gala week.We refer to the ball at the Winlsor.From the time that the announcement was made public that a grand ball was to be the closing feature of the week and the capping sheaf of the Carnival, society going people at home and those contemplating a visit to our city were on the qui vive, and at once set about to do honor to themselves and it by lending their presence to the occasion.The arrangements were conceived aad perfected on a magnificent scale, as all can testify who had the good fortune and opportunity to attend.The beauty and fashion of Montreal were creditably repre sented in the vast and brilliant assemblage and that this attraction had retained the presence of such a large number of our visitors from a distance, was a gratifying tribute to our citizens at large and especially to those who had worked in the must praiseworthy manner to ensure the success of this, our first Winter Carnival, in every detail and respect.The decorations of the palatial Windsor were beautiful in the extreme and far surpassed what we had been accustomed to see on many similar occasions.Messrs.Galvin Bros., of Boston, had the decorations in hand and it was sufficient te mark their artistic and elegant taste and handiwork to extend to them a well earned and commendatory tribute.From the moment one\u2019s fest were well planted within the walls of the Windsor it would appear as if he had wandered into dreamland, so profuse and beautiful were the decorations.The ball room in its appointments and surroundings was magnificent in the full sense of the term, and within its walls were to be seen the wealth and beauty of many cities.The Carnival Ball was one of the most numerously attended of any that had ever been given in Montreal.With this comparatively brief notice we dismiss the Winter Carnival of 1883, However much we would like to dwell upon its own merits we must still acknowledge that its highest clams to public notice rests in the fact thatit was the first of what all Montreal hopes3will be a series of Winter Carnivals, to be held in our city, and to become one of its permanent institutions.Too much credit can not be extended to the leading spirits of our first Winter Carnival.While there were many \u201c ornamental \u201d committee men there were also many who gave in time, in labor, in mental anxiety and in money, liberally and cheerfully, to illustrate the health giving character of our Canadian winter sports, and to demonstrate in how suecessful a manner Montreal accomplishes that to which she puts her hand.Notes.The merchants\u2019 clerks want a holiday every afternoon next week.Mr.Bugene Hebner, representing the Uber Land und Meer, Will\u201d be present at the Carnival.The Vanderbilt special left New York shortly after midnight this morning and will arrive abou six this evening.The obstruction in front of the new Standard building is still in its place aud looks as if it was likely to remain eo.Holders of Carnival excursion tickets can

made ia an evening contemporary on Saturday that certain persons named would pilot the Governor-General and Lady Lans downe down the slide.No such arrangement has been made.The Winter Carnival illustrated published by Geo.Bishop & Co., of this city, reflects great credit upon the establishment and judging by the patronage already bestowed upon it, will be in great demand by the public and visitors.From the time of publication (Saturday morning) till five e\u2019clock, there was a continual steady demand for the publication, and at that time the whole of the first edition of 10,000 copies was sold.At the grand Carnival concert at the Queen\u2019s Hall on Tuesday evening the following artists will take part :\u2014 THE PORT LAUREATS.Mr.Louis Frechete.Mrs.Otis Rockwood, sqorane, i

view of its marked benefit and its success, and said that he was of the opinion that should they decide to hold another this year, it would unquestionably surpass the previous one.Mr.T.White took a similar view, and alluded to the very flattering prospects before them of an unqualified success.Mr.M.H.Gault also addressed the meeting in a similar strain.The following resolutien was then put to the meeting and carried unanimously : \u201cThat this meeting, recognizing the great success which attended the efforts ot those who inaugurated and carried out the Winter Carnival last January, is of

are subscribed.\u201d It was then moved by Mr.A.H.Sims seconded by Mr.H.Prevost :\u2014 \u201cThat the citizens of Montreal and more especially those whe are interested financially in the success of

sporting organizations of the city be invited to cooperate in carrying out the arrangements.\u201d The Hon, Peter Mitchell said that he had seen a number of people in the Southern States some of whom

large and wealthy assemblage would be attracted hither.He paid a high tribute of praise te the several athletic clubs who had taken an active part in making the last Carnival a brilliant and grand success.The speaker then moved, seconded by Mr.Alex.Hutchinson :\u2014 \u201cThat a committee consisting of R.D.McGibbon, R.White, H.Beaugrand, Geo.Iles, Henry Hogan, James Stephenson, À.A.Stevenson,

\u2018\u201c\u2018Inviolat,\u201d by Consul; soli, Messrs.J.Birtz and A.Beaudry, and \u201c Tantum ergo,\u201d chorus, by Rossi.KNicars or THE Riva.\u2014Quite a crowd were collected in the vicinity of Theatre Royal ou Saturday night, the objective point on which their interests seemed to centre being two belligerent carters, each a John A.Sullivan in style, who were doing their best to spoil each other\u2019s visage and using their inventive powers to coin new and effective epithets wherewith to annihilate each others\u2019 reputation.How it commenced, what it was about, or how it ended is still a mystery, as the reporter considered life too short to make a thorough investigation of the merits of the case, judging from the choice stiing of profanity with which he was deluged on making enquiry as to the cause of the dispute.TEMPERANCE WORK AT THE Point.\u2014The Band of Hope in connection with St.Matthew\u2019s church gave a public entertainment in the schoolroom on Saturday evening.Rev.W.R.Cruikshanks occupied the ehair, and stated that this was the first en tertainment given by the Bandof Hope since it has been re-urganized.A long list of songs and recitations was then gone threu sh in a very creditable manner, showing evidence of very c#-eful training.It is the desire of the leaders of the St.Matthews\u2019 Band of Hope to exchange entertainments with the other Bands of Hope in the city.They propose to give an entertainment at some city church or school, receiving the same in return at their own echooiroom, They hope by this means to help on the good work of encouraging and teaching the children in the paths of tem- perauce.SEAL, otter and beaver gets for overcoats, a large assortment to select fiom, can be buttoned on any coat and fit better than if sewed on, buttons on coat sewed on in ten minutes, at L.Robinson\u2019s fashionable tailoring establishment, 31 Beaver Hall.I.N.L \u2014The usual fortnightly meeting of the Irish National League was held in St.Patrick\u2019 Hall yesterday afternoon, and had a very fair attendance.After the usual routine business had been transacted Nr.W.Keys delivered a lecture on ¢ Catholic Emancipation.\u201d The lecturer traced the reiigious history of Ireland up from the time when St.Patrick preached the Gospel on the hills of Tara to the present day.He was listened to by the members of the League, and frequently applauded, except when he stated, as a fact, that the men of Montreal had no free voice, but were kept down by, and must only speak by the direction of their bishops and priests.This was the only part of the lecture which did not meet with the complete approval of those present.At the close the lecturer was tendered a vote of thanks for his careful review of the history of Ireland\u2019s past.The meeting was then adjourned.Arcusisnor O®Briex at St.Mary\u2019s.\u2014 After the 10 o'clock service in St.Mary\u2019s church, corner of Panct and Craig streets yesterday, His Grace the Archbishop of Halifax preached a most impressive sermon ; taking as his text the address of St.Paul to the Corinthians.The handzome little church was filled to its utmost capacity by a congregation who paid the deepest attention to the Archbiehop\u2019s discourse.His Grace was introduced by the Rev.S.P.Lonergan, Pastor of St.Mary\u2019s, who said : \u201c We are highly honored to-day by having among ns His Grace the Right Rev.Dr.O\u2019Brien, whom I now introduee.The Archbishop of St.Mary's Cathedral of Halifax, comes to addre:s the people of St.Mary\u2019s church, Montreal, and in thanking him for the great honor he is doing us, I can assure him that I am only echoing the voice of my people.\u201d After the sermon a collection was taken up to assist in the reduction of the church debt.The singing on this occasion by the choir was particularly fine.A Gran Mone\u2014The manner now so fashionable of laving fur collars and cuffs made for overcoats, so that they can be buttoned on and taken oft at pleasure, is a good and economical idea.When made up from such rich materials as otter, seal or beaver, they are exceedingly handsome, and fit better than when sewed on as heretofore.L.Robinson has made many sets and has a superb selection of furs, Further orders are solicited.AMUSEMENTS.Academy of Musie.MR.MAURICE GRAU\u2019S FRENCH OPERA BOUFFE COMPANY.On Saturday the above-mentioned Company gave two excellent representations of Boccaccio and Divorcons, and large and enthusiastic audiences were the rule.Two more performances will close the season, and many will regret their departure, cs tiey gave us many enjoyable evening Tonight Otfenbach\u2019s chef d\u2019œvre, La Grande Duchesse, will be given, and the cast includes the principal members of this excellent organization.Mlle.Aimee as the Grande Duchesse, Mlle.Angele as Wanda, Mons.Lary, the tenor, and the comediens Mezieres and Guy.To-mor- row the last performance takes place, and \"a popular work, Audran\u2019s La Mascotte, has been selected.It embra-es the entire Company, and will give eauh artist the opportunity to make their furewell bow to a Montreal audience.Aimee takes the part of Bettina, Angele the role of Fiamet- ta, those excellent comedient, Mezieres and Duplan, as Farmer Rocco and as Prince Laurant, and the other parts are in the best hands.JONX T.RAYMOND.John T.Raymond wll appear at tle Academy Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday matinee and in the evening, o> mmencing February 6th.DIFFERENT IDEAS OF BEING IN PARADISE.THH TOPER'S IDBA * No need to worry, no need to think, Nothin\u2019 to do and [hic] plenty to drink.THE HUSBAND'S IDHA : Wife gone away, boys in for a frolie, Mozher-in-law down sick with she colle.THE LOVER'S IDEA © Jennic\u2014and I\u2014I'm sweet on her, rather, Mother away\u2014sofa, and no father.THB SCHOOL GIRL\u2019S IDEA : Plenty of caramels\u2014play sweet and dreamy\u2014 Matinee tickets, and he there to see me.THE BLUE-LAW ADVOCATB\u2019S IDBA : Silence from Saturday night until Monday, And a month on the island for breathing on Suuday.THE PUBLIC\u2019S IDEA : A play that with merrimeut scintillates rightly, And a laugh with John Raymond \u2018 In Paradise\u2019\u2019 nightly.On Saturday evening Mr.Raymond wiil appear as Colonel Sellers.Royal Theatre Museum.There were crowded houses on Saturday at the Royal, and to-night a change of programme will be made.The company will consist of Mrs.Phillips and Mr.Sherwood, versatile sketch artists;

\u201c Common Sense \u201d ; \u201c Age of Reason.\u201d When 37 years old Tom Paine met Dr.Franklin in London, and was advised by him to go to America, where the colonists were ripe for independence.Tom Paine published \u201cCommon Sense,\u201d and thereby mtroduced and sustained a definite plan of separate national existence.At a meeting where Adams, Franklin and Washington were present, Paine advocated separation, but at first the speaker was met with cries of disapproval.After he had finished his sneech, he was urged by Washington to publish his ideas in pamphlet form, and the result was \u201cThe Declaration of Independence.\u201d Under date of September 10th, 1783, George Washington wrote the following from Rocky Hill, \u201cIf you will come to this place and partake with me, I shall be exceedingly happy to see you at it.Your presence may remind Congress of your past services to this country, and if it isin my power to impress them, command my best exertions with freedom, as they will be rendered cheerfully by one who entertains a lively sense of the importance of your works, and who with much pleasure subscribes himself your sincere friend.\u201d After the firm establishment of American freedom, Paine turned his attention to France, whic) was then in a state of anarchy.He had just finished publishing his \u2018 Rights of Man\u201d in 1792, for which he was prosecuted by the British Government, when he was elected to the National Convention and repaired to France.There he played the part of a statesman throughout, and, bravely acting on the convictions of his conscience, he deprecated the dreadful actions of those who had inagurated the ¢ reign of terror,\u201d and thereby became eligible for the exalted position of a decapitated victim, For defending the king and opposing his execution, Paine was arrested and imprisoned in the Luxembourg for eleven months and narrowly escaped the guillotine.The Americans in Paris finally secured his release.In the meantime his \u2018 Age of Reason\u201d had appeared and kindled the ire of the Church.The dedication of that work read thus: \u2014 « Fellow-citizens of the United States of America\u2014I put the following work under your protection.It contains my opinion upon religion.You will dome the justice to remember that I have always strenuously supported the Right of every Man to his opinion, however different that opinion might be from mine.He, who denies to another this right, makes a slave of himself to his present opinion, because he precludes himself the right of changing it.The most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is Reason.I have never used any other and I trust I never shall.Your affectionate friend and fellow-citizen, Thomas Paine.\u201d What was Tom Paire*s opinion on religion?A belief in one God and no more; and a hope for happiness beyond this life.A belief in the equality of man, and that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy and endeavoring to make our tellow creatures happy.The truths of one hundred years ago, enunciated by Tom Paine, are the eternal truths of never changing nature.In 1796 he published an essay 1802, at the age of 65, he returned after an absence of 15 yearsto the United States, where he was both admired and censured.His eventful life closed in 1869, and he was buried on his farm in New Rochelle.Ten vears later William Cobbett took his \u201cbones to England, and in 1839 a monument was erected over his grave bearing the inscription, ¢ Thomas Paine, Author of ¢ Common Sense.\u201d During his last illness, Paine suffered very rauch ; yet reason maintained her supremacy till the iast expi ing breath.He died as he had lived, an honest and fearless man possessing the courage of his convictions.The story of his recantation was a fabrication of inimical prieateraft and is disproved by the testimony of Dr.Manly.That he was assailed on his deathbed by numerous fanatics of both sexc@ is true: but bis only reply was that they sheuld leave ! im aloce in peace.Ia concluding his paper, Mr.Murphy said: \u2018\u2018\u2019The world is now awakening to the justice of defending Tom Paine\u2019s character, and doubtless, ere long, will inscribe his name high above Napoleon\u2019s Wellington\u2019s and Washington\u2019s.These wore materialistic conquerers, winning their battles with ewords: but Tom Paine is the great moral conqueror, who, with his pen, subdued oppression and established * the rights of man\u201d on \u2018common sense\u201d principles, just at the dawn of the \u201cage of reason.\u201d Criticisms and comments on the paper were made by Mr.George Martin, Captain R.C.Adams, Mr.Fcodor Boas and Dr.Fisher, the chairman closing the meeting with an eloquent resume of the proceedings.DEATH OF REV.FATHER CAZEAU, He Bresthes His Last at St.Mary®s Col« lege Yesterday.The many readers of THE HaraLD will learn with deep regret of the death of the Rev.Father Cazeau, who died at 3.45 yesterday afternoon at St.Mary\u2019s College, Bleury street.Although the reverend gentleman had not been in the best of health for some months, still he was com- parâtively well up to a few days ago and able to attend to the many duties of his order.On Wednesday last he was visiting the sick poor in the east end of the city, when he was attacked with severe cramps and was compelled to return to the college.On reaching the college he fainted and had to be carried to his room, which he never again lett.Doctors Hingston and Mignault were immediately sent for, and pronounced the case one of inflamation, but no immediate danger was apprehended.On Friday at noon it was seen that he was growing worse, and Dr.Mignault thongh i¢ best to call in Dr.Merrill, an intimate friend of the deceased, and from that time until the last these gentlemen were in constant attendance, staying up with him the whole of Saturday night endeavoring to alleviate his intense suffering.During his brief illness, Father Cazeau was visited by many of the old students of St.Mary\u2019s, whom he taught so faithfully and who always held a warm place in his heart.Large numbers of the Catholic community, both rich aod poor, also visited his bedside, many of whom he had been indeed a father to, with his advice and assistance in temporal as well as spiritual matters.To the last he retained full consciousness, and although suffering intense agony, he passed his last moments on earth calling on his heavenly Father to forgive his penitents, many of whom on learnin t iat their beloved Paster was dying, ha flocked to his bedside and were kneeling there when the end came.He received the last sacraments of the Church a few moments before he died, and his last words were to call down the blessing of Almighty God ou the sorrowing and weeping friends kneeling around.HIS LIFE.Father Cazean was born at St.Pierre, P.Q., in 1843, and was therefore in his forty- first year.He was ordained a priest in this city in 1866, by Bishop Blanchette, whom he accompanied to Oregon city, from which place he went to the Rocky Mountains and for two years labored in missionary work.It was there he joined the order of Jesuits, of which he became so distinguished a member.But part of his novitiste had been gone through when family affairs recalled him to Montreal, the remainder of his novitiate being finished at the Sault-au- Recollect.In 1870 he was sent to St.Francis Xavier College, N.Y., where he became Prefect of Studies, remaining there three years.He was next sent to France, where his theological studies were completed, returning again in the spring of 1877 to become Prefect of St.Mary\u2019s College.Three mouths later he was appointed rector of that institution, a position whieh he held for six years.On the 12th of last November he resigned the rector- ship to undertake the building of the Church of the Immaculate Conception in the east end of the city, of which church when completed he was to be appointed pastor, and it was in the execution of this duty he was engaged when death\u2019s stroke came.During his life in Montreal Father Cazeau was particularly energetic in spreading the * Apostleship of Prayer,\u201d and the devotion to the Sacred Heart, to which he was himself deeply devoted.He was also a member and director of the Sacred Order of Franciscans.What he was to the Catholics of Montreal they alone know.The words Father Cazeau is dead,\u201d will give a shock to every heart, and cast a gloom over the entire Catholic population of the city.He deserved all their love, for he fondly loved them; he loved their children; he loved their religion; he loved his Church, which it was his delight to beautify and advance.They will deplore his loss as a beloved pastor and a tender father.His brothers in the order will lament an amiable companion, hospitable priest, courteous gentleman and talented scholar.He labored hard for those who were entrusted by God to his care.His sole sim was to elevate the spiritual condition of his people.To this end he preached and held his missions, aud toiled in the confessional from the first to the last, and from the moment when he received ordination till yesterday, when death closed his labore, and his spirit went forth to meet its merited reward, he was always the same zealous priest and able preacher of the Divine Word of God.THE ODSEQUIES.The remains of the late Father Cazeau, will lay in St.Mary\u2019s College until Tuesday morning and can be visited by the public, ladies not being admitted after 6 pm.On Tuesday morning they will be taken to the church of the Gesu, where solemn funeral services will be held at 9 o'clock, after which the remains will be conveyed to their final resting place.Although the news of his death was not generally circulated last evening, still large crowds of men, women andgehildren kept calling at the college till a late hour to get a last look at their beloved Father Cazesu.S\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE CALEDONIA CURLING CLUB.A Social Gathering at the Club\u2019s Rink on Saturday Aftermoon.There were present at the Caledonia Rink, by invitation of the club, on Saturday afternoon a large number of ladies and gentlemen, who witnessed a practice \u201c On the English System of Finance.\u201d In| match between the four Carnival rinks of the club.Among those present may be mentioned Ald.Mount, Ald.Beausoleil, Ald.Rolland, Ald.Stevenson, Ald.Fair.bairn, Ald.Brown, Mr.Lavalee, Deputy City Surveyor, Rev.Canon Ellegood, Rev.James McCaul and others, many being accompanied by their lady friends.During the afternoon light refreshments were éerved.After tue game had been in progress for some time, Mr.Robin, President of the club, mounted a chair, and in the name of the club welcomed the guests.They hoped by this exhibition of the game to inspire their fellow citizens of the eastern part of the city with such a liking for the game as to cause clubs to be established there.He then expatiated on the health-giving and other advantages of the game, noticing particularly that it made good aldermen.(Applause) This was abundantly proved by the physique of Ald.Brown and Stevenson, two old curlers.(Loud applause.) The game should also commend itself to the ladies, as it was conducive to good temper, good appetites\u2014in short, good husbands.(Applause.) Ald.Stevenson followed, and extended a most hearty welcome to the guests of the Club.He regretted the evident impression on the public mind that a epecial invitation for a certain date was necessary in order to secure admission to the rink.This was as far as possible from the true state of affairs, and both ladies and gentlemen would be welcome at all times.Ald.Beausoleil being called upon, briefly thanked the club for their courtesy and unstinted hospitality.What the citizens of both east and west ends of Montreal needed wost was a better acguaintance with each other's habits and amusements, and this he thought could be best obtained by an inter-communication and adoption of ports.He trusted that curling would soon become &: popular among the French as among the Scotch of Montreal.(Applause.) Play was then resumed, the game being watched with evident interest, if not wholly of appreciation.MONTREAL TANDEM CLUB.A large number assembled at the meet on Saturday including several hamdsome well-horsed sleighs, which appeared for the first time.We also observed many fair strangers amongst the occupants, visitors for the Carnival week, those from the South enjoying the\u2014to them\u2014some- what unusual pleasure of a sleigh drive under most favorable circumstances._ Despite a somewhat cloudy day with a light snow fall the drive to the Back River was very enjoyable, the weather being comparatively mild and the roads better than expected after the thaw.In connection with these drives it is very satisfactory to note the steady improvement in the stamp and quality of the horses observed in our streets in the equipages during the past few years; this is due no doubt chiefly to importations from Western Ontario, but the efforts of a few lead- lug gentlemen op this Island in introducing the best American blood stock must not be over-looked, and they should be given every credit for so lauadable a public spirit, such ventures not being financially successful by any means.We are glad fo observe a marked improvement in the style of equipment, huge saddle cloths loaded with ribbons, gaudy gilt and silver tappings have largely disap peared, neat, plain business-like harness with only a streamer or flower on the horses\u2019 heads taking their place.The next meet of the Club will no doubt be the largest and finest of the season.The Governor-General and suite, who bring their horses and equipages with them, are expected to take part, as well ay the B.Battery four-in-hand.THE PARK SLIDE, No Serious Accidents Yet.Rumors of serious accidents at the Park Toboggan Club slide having been rife in the city yesterday, a HERALD reporter called on Mr.W.McGibbon, Park Superintendent, in search of information.Nothing of a very serious nature had happened as yet, Mr.McGibbon was happy to say, and what had occurred was caused wholly by the most utter foolishness .Of course if people will sit upon their tobog- gaus at the foot of the slide, they must expect to be run into by others coming down.A lad had his leg broken the other day in this manner, with nobody to blame but himself.Some of the sliders were most obstinately careless in this respect, having no regard whatever for their own safety or those of others.I'he mishap on Saturday afterasoon did not occur while sliding ; it was at the bottom of the slide, and a gentleman on lifting his toboggan to remove it to the gide track unwillingly struck another in the face, cutting him rather badly.Mr.McGibbon is busy lengthening the slide by two hundred feet, and in a few days it will be widened so as to have four shutes instead of two as at present.The crowd out there on Saturday afternoon was very great, and the freedom from accident is sutlicient proof if any were required of the safety of the sliders.PULP AND SPOOLS AT MURRAY BAY.M, Simon, M.P., for Charlevoix, is in the city for a day or two.M.Cimon is an enterprising manufacturer of wood pulp for paper making, finding his market largely in Montreal.His pulp goes as far west as Niagara, where it is delivered at two cents, per lb.He gives employment to a considerable number of people in procuring wood and converting it into pulp at his home at Murray Bay.The wood most used and best suited for this manufacture is aspen, of which there is abundance in that locality, costing, delivered at the mill in short lengths, $1.20 ver cord.The cost of labor is comparatively low, and a good deal of the mill work connected with the preparation of the wood is performed by girls, such, for instance, as attending the circular saws, ete.M.Cimon has just commenced the manufacture of spools for cotton thread and for cotton factory purposes.The demand for these is almost unlimited.Birch is needed for spools and this is bought at $2 per cord delivered in short lengths at the mill.There 18 enquiry from Scotland, from New Jersey and other points for the spools, and looking to the cheapness of wood and labor at Murray Bay, there is no reason why spools should not be manufactured in that locality as cheaply as anywhere in the world.PERSONAL.\"he arrivals in the city yesterday included gentlemen and ladies from Sydney, Cape Breton, in Eastern Canada, to Fort Macleod near the Rocky Mountains, and from Florida in the south to Ottawa in the north.All the leading cities in the United States are represented\u2014Boston, Albany, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, Chicago, St.Paul, St.Louis, etc., ete.There are also visitors from London, England.Among the arrivals from the Maritime Provinces we notice those of Lord Alexau- | der Russell, the Commander of the Forces, aad Lady A.Russell, accompanied by Mr.Leonard Russell and Mr.Gordon Russell, Sir Henry I.Thompson, England ;

THE LARGEST AND FULLEST ONE CENT PAPER IN AMERICA.Tue HersLp publishes à remarkably full and entirely reliable report of the Money Market, the Stock Market in Montreal and New York, the Produce and Provision Markets in Montreal, Toronto, Chicago and Boston, the Iron trade, the Hay, Cattle and Horse Markets in Montreal and elsewhere, These, with such other market reports and quotations and marine intelligence as tho gencral trade of Canada calls fur, are supplied in most cases daily, in all cases tri-weekly or bi-weekly, These market reports, with a column or two devoted daily to railway news and general business notes, make up from seven to nine or ten colunmg daily of special commercial intelligence of a thoroughly exact and reliable character.Tue HERALD gives from five or six to seven or eight columns of TeLEarAMS in every issue, embracing all the latest news that is known either in Europe or Americe, and especially in the Dominicn up to the hour of going te press.These telegrams are exclusive of PARLIAMENTARY reports, which contain from three to five or six columns per day more of telographed matter ; so that every issue of THE HrraLp may be estimated to contain from nine to twelve columns of telegrams.Tre HeravLp\u2019s record of Legal Intelligence is the most perfect of the kind that is given to the public by the press of Montreal.If varies from a column to three or four columns per day.In the Editorial Department all questions\u2014 political, commercial, social, fureign, Dominion, or local\u2014are fully treated, as we trust, fairly, independently and vigorously.From two and a half to four columns per day are devoted to this department.In Tae Herarp Local News depart ment we aim to deal as fully as the merits of the news demand, and to act fairly by all the interests involved.Nothing sensalional is admitted for the sake of making a sensation, the instructions to our reporters being to test fully the correctness of all statements given to the public through this de- faultmeut.From three to six columns per day are devoted to Local News.As regarde regular outside contributors and correspondents, Tae HERALD has had the able services of the same Paris correspondent for a quarter of a century\u2014a lady whose contributions are always welcome to our readers.Our London correspondent, Mr.George Jacob Holyoke, has both an American and a European fame.A new contributor, \u201c Sarepta,\u201d has, we are pleased to know, won golden opinions from our readers, for his chaste style, wide range of information, liberality of though and fairness and soundness of judgment; while in the department which is sacred to the fair sex, a lady serves up once a week, in good style, the latest fashions and the most approved recipes.We enumerate only leading features of the paper ; we might include Sporting Intelligence, Amusements, Notes, General Correspondence, General Reading, Poetry, and those other items which go to make up the character and contents of the Daily Newspaper.The principal point which we wish to make is this :\u2014That Tae MoNTREAL Hzrarp, an eight page paper, supplying every day from TWENTY-EIGHT to THIRTY-TWO COLUMNS of reading matter, embraciug the latest and best and fullest in all its numerous departments, is sold at ONE CENT per copy or THREE DOLLARS per annum.We de not suppose that we need enlarge upon this remarkable fact, for remarkable it certainly is.That Tee MoNTREAL HERALD is a marvel of cheapness goes without saying.But we do not propose that THE HERALD shall be inferior because it is cheap.If there lus been no elobor- ate l'rospectus issued since the change of price it was not because of any intention to veduce the standard of excellence.What we desire to say now to those who are not, as well as to those who are, regular readers or subscribers to Tux Hrraup is that instead of there being a falling away iu the general standing, tone or énter- prise of THE HERALD, as one of the principal daily newspapers of Canada, we hope to be able to show before the close vf the year that in all those re- specis 1884 will have proved the most satisfactory and successful year in the papers experience.All who take an interest in 1 HE HERALD's prosperity can readily assist to make it stronger, more powerful and more worthy of popular support than it is even at the present moment.They can send in the names of new subscribers.Many of them can forward news of interest coming under their special observation.Those who have advertising in their control can remember THE HeraLp when they desire to communicate with the public.BL \u2014\u2014m."]
