SHERBRCOKE, Q., Oct.30.\u2014The demonstration in honor of the Hon.J.H.Pope, beld bere to-day, was an immense success.There were no less than tan Cabinet Ministers in town, besides leaders of the Quebec Opposition.The proceedings began at two o\u2019clcck with a long procession of double carriages containing the Ministers ana leading residents.The whole population turned out en masse either out of curiosity or to do honor to the chiefs of the party.Mayor Panneton iutroduced the Ministers and highly eulogized Sir John for having restored prosperity to the country.Sir John.on rising to respond, was greeted with rounds of cheering that lasted for over ten \"minutes.Eloquent addresses were delivered by the Hob.Messrs.Langevin, Caron, Chapleau and Thompson.In the evening a banquet was given at which about 500 ) 2rsons were present.Speeches were deliveren by R.N.Hall, M.P,;

croas ties and entire sills burned; willre- quire repairs.\u201d The fire took place about four o'clock in the morning and but for the timely discovery the whole bridge might soon have been reduced to ashes.A reporter saw Mr.Whyte for the purpose of learning the particulars concerning the dastardly act, He stated that from the meagre information received, in the centre of the bridge the ties, which are wooden, had been saturated with coal oil, The damage, while not amounting to a great deal of money, was suffi cient to stop traffic randing repairs.wbich were made by a gang of men sent out to the scene.A blackemith who lives near £t.James, ig said to have seen the blaze, 80 that the fire must have been under good headway when discovered No clue can be found as yet to the parpetra- tors of the deed.Fort Rouge Crossing was also the scens of activity.Superintendent Whyte received a message from the first crossing this morning intimating that fifty or sixty men, in charge of Chief Clarke, of the Provincial Police, were seen in the vicinity of the dead engines, and it seemed probable that they would commence operations on a spur track which will be run out from the main line of the Portage extension sixty feet south of the engines.Situated at this distance from the engines is the £outuern bourdary of the city, and along it is a public highway running over the C.P.R.track.As Hon.Mr.Martin intimated to Justi.e Killam yesterday his intention to proceed with the construction of the Portage extension and it is taken for granted that oace the spur is built the Government will proceed to take an engine across the C.P.R.and then grade a spur on the southwest side of the C.P.R.dump, so as to connect with the Portage extension dump.The Government, while seeing the hardship of building a line of railway where they will bave to transfer rails over the C.P.R., have signified their intention of completing the extension to Headingly.The rails were laid to-day up to the C.P.R.track on the public highway\u2014a C.P.R.engine running back and forth to prevent a locomotive being taken across.Superintendent Whyte stated to a reporter that he would resist rails being laid across the company\u2019s lines, while there might be a highway he would not for a moment aliow it to be blocked.If it was necessary to resist by force any efforts made by the Government he was quite prepared.Men are on guard at all points to prevent surprise.A telegram from Superintendent Whyte to-night says all is quiet.The determination of the Governmert to fight out the matter to tue end is demonstrated by the fact that they have called the Legislature together for the 8th of November, as intimated would be done in yesterday\u2019s despatches.It is unknown yet just how the Government purposes to deal with the matter, or whether it intends to make any further effort to lay the track to Portage this year.The principal object of the meeting of the Legislature, however, is said to be to retaliate on the Canadian Pacific Railway for its action in the present case.1t is not.improbable that the Legislature will repeal all taxation exemptions and pass legislation taxing the company\u2019s property in the Province to the utmost that the law permits.It having been reported that the Portage volunteers would not turn out to protect the C.P.R.property, Capt.She» pard denies the assertion and says the majority of the men proferred their services voluntarily, instead of questioning whether they would be used in the service of the \u20ac.P.R.or the Provincial Government.Judge Dubuc presided at the opening of the assizesto-day.The criminal libel suit against the Call and Free Press comes before the grand jury to-morrow, \u2014p FROM THE DOMINION CAPITAL.Extradition Warrant \u2014 Tenders for Militin Uniforms \u2014 The Manitoba Railway Crossings\u2019 Case.(SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.) OrrAwa, Oct.30.\u2014The warrant for the extradition of Greenfield, who is in custody at Buffalo, N.Y.on a charge of burglary and attempting .policeman at Peterboro\u2019, Was issued yes- tarday from the Department of Justice.No invitations for tenders for milita clothing were advertised this year.Only four firms manufacture the cloth, and these were asked to tender.The award will be made at the end of the week.To-day the time within which tenders for the work onthe Gallops Canal ma: be received, expired.Several contractors who are tendering,or are interastad in the tenders, are in town, amongst them being Messrs.R.H.McGreevy and A.Chzrlebois, Quebee; John Carroll and Larkin, St.Catharines; John Shieldsan:i W.H.Keighley, Toronto; Frank Gilbert, Montreal.The aame of the suc cesstul tenderer will not be known for some days.It is understood that ex-Judge Clarke, solicitor of the Canadian Pacific Company, hasprepared a case for submission to the Supreme Court in regard to the crossing of the Pacific Company\u2019s tracks by the Red River Valley Road, and that it bas been forwarded to Attorney-Gene ral Martin for approval or otherwise.If he approves of it his sanction will be intimatad to the Railway Gommitteee of the Privy Council on Friday, and probably an application will be made before a judge in chambers to have the case placed for hearing on the list about to be argued.Under ordinary circumstances such an appeal would be placed on the Ontario list and might not come up for bearing fos a fortnight or three weeks.This being the case, aud the importance of tbe case warranting, the Supreme Court judges might dispense with the usual practice and hear the arguments as soon as court opens.\u2014\u2014\u2014 Mail Robbery at Berlin.BERL, Oct.30.\u2014The mail

From IIli- nois.Crrcaco, Oct.30.\u2014Considerable sinifi- cance is attached to the fact that Hon.M.Dickinson and Congressman W.L Scott came here to-day and had a long conference with some of the local Democratic leaders, It has been quietly given out by the Democrats for several days that something would drop in Illinois this week, and the dropping is supposed to be intimately connected with these conferences, Illinois Democrats have been almost ready to guarantee the State for Cleveland if the National Committee would put up $50,000 isto the fight here.Some persons think that the requirsd money may be forthcoming now.The Democrats at the State Headquarters to-day were jubilant over something they, would not reveal.Mr.Dickinson and Mr.Scott refuse to say anything about the object of their visit.OF THE DAY.\u2014\u2014 THE TOPIC Increasing Excitement Over Lord Sackville\u2019s Letter.President Cleveland\u2019s Official Intimation.No Further Use for His Lordship in the U.S.LORD SACKVILLE RECEIVES OFFICIAL NOTICE.His Room More Desirable Than His Company \u2014 The President Again ¢ Goes One Better\u2019 Than His Oppon- enis.WAsHINGTON, Oct.30.\u2014The following was issued from the State Department tonight.By order of the President, the Secretary of State tc day informed Lord Sackville that for causes heretofore made known to Her British Majesty's Government, his continuance in his presition in the United States is no longer acceptable to this Government, and would consequently be detrimental to the relations between the two countries.The grounds of this action on the part of the United States were stated in the report of the Secretary of State to the President yesterday, which was as follows :\u2014 The Secretary in his report reviews the whole correspondence between Murchison and the British Minister, its publication, and that Minister's subsequent interview in the press, in which he acknowledges the letters and reitarates re2sons.Mr.Bayard takes offense, in particular, at the British Minister's criticisms of the retaliation message, and es- racially as \u201c ample time and opportunity have been afforded him for the disavowal, modification or correction of his statements, to some of which his attention was called personally by the undersigned, yet no such disavowal or moditication has been made by him through the press.\u201d The report then says : * The question is thus presented, whether it is compatible with the dignity.security and independent sovereignty of the United States to permit the representative of a foreign Government in this country, not only to receive and answer without disapproval and confirm by his repeiition, aspersions upon its political action, but also to interfere in its domestic affairs by advising persons, formerly his countrymen, as to their political course as citizens of the United States.The report then calls attention to the point that there can be no controversy as to allegiance between Great Britain and the United States because of the trreaty of naturalization of May 13,1870.It also calls attention to the section in the revised statutes which imposes penalties on American citizens who carry on intercourse or correspondence with any foreign government or ifs officers, on any subject or controversy, and suggests that the Attorney-General investigate this case.The report then concludes by calling attention to the fact that by the direction of the President, the Secretary of State informed the British Government of its Minister's conduct, and that, therefore, all comities have been settled, and it now remains whether this Government will, or will not, have any further intercourse with Lord Sackville, but the fact is sugpested that Ministers are not allowed to remain in countries if the Government there has objections.(Signed), Bavaro, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 SOME OPINIONS FROM BOSTON.The President\u2019s Action Denounced.[SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, | Boston, Oct.30.\u2014Gen.Pat.Collins and ticket-of-leave-man O'Reilly were not in the city to-night, so their opinion of the President\u2019s action in regard to Minister West was impossible to obtain.The general opinion here is that the action of the administration is undignified and uncalled for.Congressman Leopold Morse, a particular friend of the President, said that while he believed Cleveland was actuated by patriotic motives, he was still impolitic in being so impetuous.It was an unwritten law in international etiquette for the aggrivel state to call on the home government to withdraw an obuoxious ambassador and that would have been the course pursued by any Eurovean Government.The course taken by the President was nothing but a political trick and had no effect any way.This is the opinion of all Democrats seen.The Republicans are jubilant.They say, in acting as be has, the President las played into their hands, in thus formally acknowledging the Republicans\u2019 claims to the importance of the letter, The British-Americans here are indignant.They nnmber 14,000 organized men in this State, all voters, and they declare their intention ro support Harrison now.President James M emyss, of the British-American Society, said the publication of the letter in the first place was a miserable piece of knavery no self- respecting person woald have been guilty of, and that the Minister Lad as much right to express an opinion as an American bad.He believed that such ill-advised haste would injure the Demro- cratic party by causing a revulsion of feeling and general mortification that a great nation could play such a small character.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 COMMENTS ON THE PRESIDENTS ACTION.Speculations as to the New Ambassas dor.WaAsnInGToN, D.C., Oct.30.\u2014The actisn of the President, in having Lord West notified that he would not be recognized, is causing considerable discussion here among leaders on both sides, as it is clearly recognized that this action could only be taken by Lord Salisbury declining to recall Lord Sackville.In 1869 the Russian Government declined to recall Count Catacazy upon the request of President Grant, and consequently he was notified in 4 similar way to Lord Sack- ville's notification to-day.He then went.So it is expected Lord Sack- ville will do likewise.The Democratic leaders are jubilant over the President's action, which they call \u201chis courage,\u201d while the Republicans ridicule bim and say this is another of his political expedients, but that it will not check the Irish bolt.The Democrats, on the other hand, say that owing to the President\u2019s bold stand there will be no Irish bolt.A representative of the Press News Association called upon Lord Sackville tonight and showed him the statement issued by the State Department.After reading it through, he thanked the Asso- SUBSCRIPTIO.mea 6.00 PER ANNUM ciation for its kindness, but he would rather say nothing on the te Speculation as to Lord Sackvill 2.cessor is already rife here.Lord 1\u201d ur is spoken of, but owing to the antipathy of the Irish to him he would hardly be received.Sir Charles has many friends who would like to see him come, but it is thought that his speech last summer, when be praised this administration and said that Canada had got all she desired out of the fisheries question, might now be injurious to bis chunces.Lord Randolph Churchill, who married Miss Jerome, of New York, seems to have many advocates.The Washington Post (Democratic) will to-morrow morning, editorially, strongly approve of the President's action to-day.Speaking from a non-political basis it thinks that the policy of allowing no foreign interference in our affairs, either domestic or otherwise, should be strictly carried out.\u2014 ce THE LETTER-WRITING MINISTER.Judge Thurman's Uncomplimentary Opinion.WaezLn¥e, W.Va, Oct.30.\u2014Judge Thurman left Columbus, O., at 11.45 o\u2019clock today and reached this city at 7 p.m, The depot bere was crowded with people, shouting and hurrahing for Cleveland and Thurman, while guns were booming on the levee.It was extremely difficult for the Judge and his party to reach their carriages, and they were quickly driven to the Hotel Windsor, where hundreds of ladies and gentlemen called on him in his parlours to welcome him to West Virginia.5 At Zanesville he made a brief speech, saying that he hoped every voter would go to the polls November 6 and vote according to his honest convictions, and the more of them that voted for Grover Cleveland the better he would be pleased.At Cambridge he made another short speech.Some one in the crowd asked : .\u201cDo you think the West letter will hurt the Democratic party ?\u201d \u201cWhat, West?\u201d inquired the Judge.\u201cOh, yes, that Englishman.I don't think he has brains enough to hurt any party.Why, my friends, there isn\u2019t a quail in Guernsey County that would walk in a trap as wide oren as the one that Lord Sackville walked into.\u201d .This sally was received with great cheering, especially by the Irish section hands who had gathered around the platform.There will be a great daylight demonstration here to-morrow.The weather is now fine.Judge Thurman will speak in the rink to-morrow night.-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 18 IT HARRISON OR

expecting a cave-in.Four bundred feet below are some of the abandoned workings of the old Washington mine, and within the past month there have been partial settlings of the ground.At 3 o\u2019clock this morning the residents of the neighbourhood were siartled by a rambling crash and a quaking of the ground.They left their beds and fled into the streets.The actual disturbance of the ground was confined to about an acre, which dropped down from fen to twelve feet.On this ground stood the house of Henry Fox, which was totally ruined.The inmates were thrown from their beds and buried beneath falling plaster and broken furniture.No one was much hurt.The ground is still cracking and working, and people in the vicinity were busy to-day moving their goods out.Fully a dozen houses are empty tc-night.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE BANDIT FRUGOS® KILLED.Last of the Cuban Highwaymen Who Stole Rich Planters for Ransoms.New York, Oct.30.\u2014The Spanish Con- sul-General in this city received a cablegram yesterday from Havana to the effect that the famous bandit, Victor Frugoso, has been killed and some\u2019 of his companions wounded by the civil guard of Cuba.Of this man Frugoso the Consul has no knowledge save that he is a member of the band of highwaymen about whom there was so much talk last winter by timid Americans who hesitated to go to Havana tor a season lest their families might have to take all the pennies out of their little tin savings banks to get the men out of pawn.The representatives of the Consul says that these bandits never take women or children to hold for ransom, but that occasionally they do take rich men, lanters and merchants, and keep them in custody until properly bailed out of the unpleasant swamps where they are confined.Although Providence has been kind to the Cuban bandit in the natural situation of Havana, and although there are plenty of fastnesses about the city, the place of attack is mainly in the suburbs, where very few strangers go.The band bas been shot down and killed off until the romance has somewhat left them, and what little isleft smacks more of the life of an every-day highway robber than of a picturesque medieval bandit.\u2014\u2014 Advised Strikers to Use Dynamite.Prrrseure, Oct.30.\u2014An unknown man, claiming to be from Chicago, was ambng the strikers at the spike mill of

allowed to pass nless provided with a special authoriza- fon.Some violent scenes occurred.One enthusiastic Boulangist attempted to cross the street and was repeatedly struck by a brutal officer.As the carriages passed down the Rue de La Pompe every window was filled with curious faces.Cries of * Vive Boulanger I\" were haard everywhere.The General's carriage was drawn by two splendid black horses, the harness being decorated with red cockades and the two coachmen wore the same in their hats, The ceremony was brief.The young bride wore a Nile green gown, with a hat of black velvet, relieved by old rose colour about her throat and a gray fur boa.She looked very handsome, with her golden hair and rich complexion.She has her father\u2019s dignity of expression.Captain Driant wore his full uniform of dark blue and red.He is a young man of about twenty-eight, with dark hair and of military bearing.The happy couple spoke the fatal \u201cyes\u201d in firm tones and were duly pronounced man and wife.General Boulanger was dressed as a private citizen and seemed very happy.Mme.Driant and her husband stood beside their son.After the ceremony the General offered his arm to his daughter as they advanced to sign the marriage document.Friends pressed around with eager congratulations, and the bridal party made its escape with difficulty.As the procession drove off the crowd burst out into cheers and handkerchiefs _ were waved from the neighbouring balconies.The police repeated their savage attacks on harmless individuals.Great times are expected to-morrow at the religious marriage.Seats are not to be had for money.Mme.Boulanger was unable to be pre- gent at the wedding.THE KAISER AT HAMBURG.Festivities to Celebrate the Admission of the * Free City >\u2019 Into the

greeting with the officers.He afterwards drove through the city in a carriage drawn by four black horses.Field Marshal von Moltke and Count Herbert Bismarck followed in a second carriage.The route was thronged with people, and the progress was a triumphal one.At intervals along the route children presented the Emperor with flowers.His Majesty bowed repeatedly in response to the acclama- tiors of the people.The Senators conducted the Emperor from Brooks Bridge to the scene of the festivities, where a stone was placad to commemorate the inclusion of the city in tbe Customs Union.Dr.Versman tendered the thanks of tke Senate, the Burgomaster and the inhabitants of the city for the Emperor's presence.The Emperor then took a trowel and mallet, spread mortar over the stone, taprad the stone and said: \u201cFor God\u2019s honour, for the good of the Fatherland and for the welfare of Hamburg,\u201d After Field Marshal von Moltke, Herr Petersen and Herr von Boetticher had made speeches, the Emperor steamed through the customs canal and the upper harbour canal to the new Elbe bridge and inspected the forts.The Emreror, on leaving the new Elbe bridge, embarked on the steamer Patriot and proceeded down the Elbe.He stood on the bridge of the steamer, smoking a cigar and chatting gayly with trose around him.When Prof.Del- bruck approached His Majesty and was about to kiss his hand, the Emparor, with a deprecatory gesture, grasped the Professor's hand ang shook it heartily.The Emperor visited the principal shipe building yards and docks on the river.During the trip he conversed for a long time with Mr.Carl Schurz.The Patriot passed a number of steamers filled with spectators, and in response to the cheers of the passengers the Emperor repeatedly saluted.His Majesty disembarked at St.Paul's Landing and drove to the Jenish Palace, and thence to the Kuns- thalle, where a banquet was given in his honour, PE POLITICS VS.PATRIOTISM.Political Tricks vs.National Honour, Loxnox,

cars of wheat, 765 cars corn and 265 cars of oats.\u2014The advance in wheat on Saturday was due more to Chicago report that May option was to be taken hnld of the coming week for manipulation to higher prices.\u2014The exports of wheat from five At- lautic ports for the week ended Friday night were 117,826 bushels, against 99.966 bushels during the previous week, and of flour 91,181 barrels, against 158,071 barrels the previous week.\u2014The millers throughout the country bave more confidence over the stability of wheat values.They have been for a day or two either advising correspondents to bold fast to consignments of flour, or permitting sales at a substantial advance in prices.ete THE METAL MARKET.Almost no business has been done on the Metal Exchange during the week, except in the way of closing out defaulted contracts for lead, and other metals bave been comparatively neglected and but little changed in price.Tin alone has exhibited a fair degree of life under the circumstances, with considerable irregularity in price, the foreign market having been spasmodically quite active.There has not been sufficient interest, however, to culminate in active business, 10 tons being the \u201cgrand\u201d total of sales for the week.Values have tended toward the establishment of uniformity between the several options, an easing off of a quarter cent on spot and simultaneous appreciation of 5 and 15 points on futures having brought prices nearly to a level for the Whole list.Sales of 50,000 pounds of copper wera reported early in the week, but apart from this the metal has been almost ignored, and nrminal prices have remained practically unchanged since the previous Saturday.Lead, so long the centre of speculative attention, is still the article most freely dealt in, but almost all the dealing has been for the liquidation of contracts, 2,065 tons having been sold for this account, and only 268 tons in the regular way.The natural effect has been to weaken prices, which stood up fairly well, however, under the first pressure, giving away less than ten points until toward the end of the week, when they sagged off about 20 points more, although moderately active in tone.The market closed 5 points lower on futures, but held up to higher figures for spot.\u2014\u2014\u20140\u2014 fT0-DAY\u2019S RECEIPTS OF PRODUCE.Peas, bush.34% Oats,

Notwithstanding the dullness which prevailed nearly all week in the cheese market, holders are firm, and there seems to be very little likelihood that prices will go much lower.Some dealers report that they have simply stored their stock and intend hold it until buyers meet their views as to prices.No yielding in prices is to be discovered in any of the country markets, and stocks here could not be renewed at the rates at which they are held.Best grades of September cheese were quoted at 104 to 104 cents for both coloured and white on Saturday.British Breadstufis and Provision

maintained, and for choice late Augusts, and early Septembers, which are scarce and wanted, buyers are willing to pay 6d to 18 per ewt.over the quotations of last week, but they find great difficulty in obtaining suitable quality.We quote this grade 50s and 51s, and up to 52s for occasional parcels of exceptionally nice goods.There is some demand for best Julys and early Augusts at 468 to 48s, but

Why, the thermometer is away down to a hundred.I reckonthe reason you feel the heat so is because you don\u2019t try any of my beer on ice.It costs only 60 cents a bottle.\u201c Never drink,\u201d replied Mr.HufcMison.\u201cBut, tell me, do you have as much dust all the year around ?\u201d ; \u201c Why, man alive, you don\u2019t call this dusty, do you?If you feel dusty it is because you don\u2019t bathe often enough.It will only cost you a dollar a bath ; you to pay extra for the towels, of course.\u201d \u201cWhat I need most is quiet.I came bere to avoid all excitement.Good gracious! what is that?\u201d \u201cThe boys at the saloon across the street are having a little fun.You had better come away from the window or some of them may shoot at you.\u201d \u201cMy heart palpitates fearfully.\u201d \u201cI'll tell you what you want.You need a good reliable pistol.I've gota self-cocker I'll sell you for $20\u2014dirt cheap.\u201d \u201cNo, I thank you.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s all over now.I see them carrying two dead men into the drug store.We will have funerals to-morrow.We don\u2019t often have funerals at this season.It helps spread the smallpox.\u201d \u201cSmallpox !\u201d \u201cYes, we have it every summer, but don\u2019t let that scare you.I can sell youa bottle of medicine for a dollar and a half that will make the smallpox run from you.\u201d mate,\u201d \u201cYou'll get used to the climate, but I hope you haven't got anything to say against the people.\u201d \u201cOh, no; that was a very pleasant gentleman to whom you introduced me last night.\u201d \u201cLike him, do you ?\u201d \u201cYes, he was very polite.He said he was going to take me out riding some da \u201d \u2014\u2014 * As you say, he is a gentleman.\u201cTe is the leading undertaker.I reckon he ships more bodies North on ice than all the rest of the undertakers in town, and his charges are quite low.He is my brother-in-law.\u201d \u201cI think,\u201d said Mr.Hutchison, wearily, \u201cthat I will have to leave for the North to-morrow.I expect I had better retire for the night.ill you have the porter awaken me at an early hour ?\u201d \u201cCertainly, We always charge 50 cents extra for that.Good night.By the way, if a centipede or tarantula should crawl into bed with you and bite \u2018you wake me up by pounding on the ceiling.I've got a remedy for only 75 cents a boftle that will cure you up in fine style.Good night, stranger, Pleasant dreams to you.\u201d Important to Working Men.Artizans, mechanics and laboring men areliable tc sudden accidents and injuries, as well as painful cords, stiff joints and lameness.To all thus troubled we would recommend Hagyard\u2019s Yellow Oil, the handy and reliable pain cure for outward or internal use.Praiseworthy.\u201c Last summer I was entirely laid u with liver complaint.A friend advise me to use Burdock Blood Bitters: ¥ did so, and four bottles cured me.I cannot praise this remedy too much.\u201d John H.Rivers,

Chae.P.Hebert, Edgar Judge and R.C.Jamieson.The minutes of the last meeting wers read and adopted.A communication was received from the Quebec Harbour Commissioners stating that they were making enquiries into the case of the steamship Boston City, which was allowed to proceed from Rimouski to Quebec without a sea pilot, none being obtainable, yet, as Messrs.Anderson, McKenzie & Co.claimed, they were called upon to pay the tolls the same a8 if the pilot was on board.A private communication had been addressed to the chairman on the question of commercial fkencies and its applicability for this country, on the same principle as is in use in Germany.By this means, accredited agents would be stationed in the diffor- ent countries, who could give our merchants reliable information as to what lines of goods were saleable in these countries.It is propoged that the title of the society be the \u201cSociety of Commercial Geography,\u201d which would be to business men in exports and imports what Lloyd\u2019s agents are to the shipowr- ers and others interested in shipping.The subjects these accredited German agents study are :\u2014 lst.The markets of the world; what manufactures

also thought that the time was premature for so young a country as Canada, more especially as the project would entail a large outlay.The Council then examined the new map of the canals of the Dominion and the United States, executed with a pen by Mr.F.K.Blatch, of the Revenue Department.The map covers a space of 8 feet by 6 feet and was much admired by the members of the Council, who expressed their willingness to purchase one for the Board room if it is issued, as being of great convenience to shippers, who could at once find out any point they wished, at a moment's notice.The Council then adjourned.ANNUAL MEEFIING Of (be Montreal Protestant Society of Associated Charities.The annuai meeting of the above association took place, yesterday afternoon, in the rooms of the Protestant House of Refuge, Dorchester street.The chair was occupied by Mr.W.D.Stroud and the following gentlemen were present: Messrs.Charles Alexander, S.J.Symons, D.McMillan and P.Sinclair.\u2018The minutes of the previous year were read by the Secretary, Mr.Hollis.Ina short speech, the President said he regretted to see 80 little interest shown in this important society.They were in a had pecuniary condition, as little or nothing had been subscribed, and hoped itwould not be necessary to close the Refuge up.Still, he could not see his way clear to hold his position as director unless something could be done to create an interest in the institution.He was quite willing to do all be could to help the secretary along.The annual report was then read by Mr.Hollis, showing that the aim of the society is to prevent begging and imposture, and to diminish pauperism ; to encourage industry among the poor to prevent children from being aban doned and growing up paupers: to protect as far as possible Protestant prisoners and inmates of reformatory institutions ; and to see that Protestant children who are convicted in the courts are placed in Protestant reformatories.The report showed that over 100 families had been visited and helped during the past year.Attention had also been given to the Factory Act, immigration, housing the poor, etc.This created a de- deficit in the accounts to the amouut of $106, which it was necessary to meet at once.The financial report was then read, showing the receipts to have been $77 while the expenditure was $183.Rev.J.Patterson said he regretted to hear that so important a society should be closed.He was sure the Association was doing a good work, for it relieved wants that weré not met by any other society, and he preferred to have an effort made to pay off the $106, and that they dispense with a paid secretary so as to keep down expenses.The President gaid if any clear way could be shown how the deficit could be met he was quite willing to keep on the Association.He spoke very highly of the present secretary, Mr.Hollis, and regretted to have to dispense with his services, but Le understood how short of funds the Society was and how impossible it was to keep on a paid secretary.Ue regretted the churches took so little interest in the society, as only a few of them had subscribed to its support.Mr.Brennan did not think that the visiting of the poor had been so conscientiously carried out as the association warranted, and that proper care had not been taken that alms were distributed to the truly deserving poor.Mr.R.C.Smith did not think it necessary to close up the society and although he preferred a paid secretary yet he thought they could do without one.He spoke of the Factory Act having been accomplished by the society and thought much good had been done in the past, and if it had not been go successful as it might have been, yet it was no indication that it should not be successful in the future.It was then moved by Rev.J.Patterson, seconded by Rev.H.J.Evans, that Mr.Stroud bs re-clected president for the ensuing year.Carried.Mr.Walter Drake and R.C.Duff were elected vice-presidents.Mr.Hollis said he would be quit: wiiling to be elected as honorary secretary, a8 the society was not in a Very flourishing condition.He was thankel and his offer accepted.The Board of Management then wer elected as follows :\u2014 Revs.Messra.R.Lindsay, I.N.Tacker, A.French, G.Osborne Taylor, J.Nichols, J.Patterson, J.Edgar Hill, Dr.Smith, Wm.Henderson, E.B.Taylor, Dr.Ant- liffe, 3.Bond, A.S.Upham, Wm, Morin, .SHE ONTREAL HERALD AND Thomas Bennett, A.8S.Ferrier, J.H.Martin, E.M.Hill, W.8.Barnes, aad Messrs, S.J.Symons, George B.Capel, D.+.McCord, F.Witley, Dr, Drysdale, W.King, George Childs, John Dyer, J.A.Mathewson, S.Finlay, Mr.Tees, J.H.Ferns, L.H.Packard, Dr.Blackadder, Charles Cushing and George W.Stephens.It was finally decided to raise the deficit among the churches.The meeting then adjourned.MORE ABOUT MICA SCHIST.It is now about three weeks since the sample of mica schist was laid on St.Peter street, and from that time to the present it has had to stand all the mud and slush brought onto it, by the greatest amount of carting and general travel of any street in the city, besides what has actually run in streams on to it from the crossing at Fortification lane.It was not given time to show its own colours.The sun cannot shine upon it on a clear day more than fifteen minutes.From personal examination and observation, and notwithstanding the slush carried on to it and that it was not given a fair chance to take on a firm surface, it is the cleanest and best street to walk or drive on in Montreal to-day.On Saturday the mud at Fortification lane, which came from the loose dirt and macadam thrown on top, to cover up the drain at that point, was so deep and thin that enough ran over the crossing to cover the mica schist nearly to Craig street.Many people no knowing the circumstances, thought tha the new street ruaterial was becoming muddy.In order to show that the new mica schist itself was not the least inclined to take the form of mud, application was made to the fire department for a bose connection at Fortification Lane.That being granted, the Fire Brigade then made a connection and flooded the mica schist with water for nearly one hour.As soon asthe mud was absorbed by the water it passed off, leaving the mica schist undisturbed, and showing its natural colour for the first time since it was laid down.It also became firmer on the surface, a fact which was demonstrated by the driving over it while the water was on it.The experiment proved beyond a doubt that mica schist (pure chrystalized quartz and mica) will not make mud, and was such a test as should have been seen by the members of our Road Committee.If none of them were present it is to be regretted.Many of our leading citizens who were present and those who have watched the mica schist from the beginning are convinced more than ever that it is the proper material to use on our streets instead of limestone.Mr.Miller, the discoverer of the mica schist system of making roads claims that a roller should not be used, that the schist when crushed breaks largely into flat pieces, and the sharp particles of the quartz become imbeded in the mica, creating a friction, thereby holding the whole material in place, leaving a perfect water course or drain.As the quartz and mica is ot soluble in water, it does not close up the interstices and interfere with the drainage and on this account a mica schist roadway also possesses great sanitary advantages.Mr.Miller gives as a reason why the sample on St.Peter street does not become smooth : That the wheelsand shoes are wet and on that account pick up the mica schist and carry it from one point to another.Any one familiar with rolling knows that when the material adheres to the roller a smooth surface cannot be made.He also claims that the mica schist will become smooth and firm enough to be swept with a brush revolving sweeper, and that but very little of it will be displaced.That a small expense would separate it all from the refuse dirt, leaving it perfectly clean to be used again.Mica schist, so far as experiments have been made, points to a way by which the city of Montreal can have splendid streets and drive-ways, comparatively cheap, and not only that, but to put the mica schist within the reach of every private citizen, who may have a walk or driveway to make.In five years the city of Montreal could have the finest streets and driveways of any city in the world, and free of mud.No \u2018city has as good material for roads and streets, properly prepared, at hand, neither is it to be obtained at apy price.Mica schist is apparently the only material which nature has furnished, possessing the required qualities for such purposes.However broad the statement may appear, the facts give sufficient evidence.Let the subject be followed up until a full knowledge and understanding of it is obtained.If there is a means or method by which we can have good streets and roads so that we can drive about our city at all times at any desired rate of speed, without mud, dust noise or danger that our road department find it out at the earliest moment possible, is the expressed desire of every citizen.How to Live 100 Years.Health with many years may easily be attained.Temperance, Abstinence and care in

viz, that the first chartering of a railway by the provincial legislature to connect with a foreign railway is ultra vires, A New Brunswick court gave a different interpretation to the law, but the New Brunswick court is not infallible, and there ae many lawyers who hold that it was wrong.There are other questions affecting this class of legislation which are needlessly obscure.It is doubtful, for example, how far the Dominion Parliament is justified in passing legislation, which, by a side wind, nullifies rights which reside unquestioned in the provincial egislatures.And in eyery other branch of public business equal difference of opinion arises to the inconvenienca of the people and the danger of the Dominion.Why should all this uncertainty be permitted to remain?The British North America Act has now been in force for over twenty years.Even the original provisions of ordinary acts fail to survive that lapse of time, and the British North America Act is not only a mass of delicate distinctions and oftentimes of contradictory language, but it was admittedly an experiment, which might require modification.The firat attempt at union of the colonies to the south of us was a failure, à new constitution soon becoming necessary, and even this has been frequently amended as its defects were discovered.Why should we presume that our statesmen were wiser than others?And if modifications and explanatory amendments are requisite, there can be little public spirit in opposing them.By this time several glaring defects in the Act have been discovered, and every year brings forth some new point of difference between the Federal and the Provincial Governments.The Tories who profess so much desire to continue as a colony of England, and regard »the United States as a species of bogey of which they are afraid, and with which they try to frighten others, should be able to see that every bone of contention which arises between the two authorities is 80 much more weight thrown into the scale against a continuance of the Confederation.They at least might be expected fo advocate a revision of the act in order that disturbing questions should be forever laid at rest.But their press absolutely shrieks in anger at mention of the Inter- colonial Conference, because the party wire-pullers conceive that its result may be to clip the wings of Sir John\u2019s centralizing flights.But what are Sir John\u2019s preferences, or rather what should they be, in comparison with the peace, prosperity and convenience of the Canadian people?Of no weight whatever.Unfortunately the management of the Conservative party has fallen into hands that regard the country merely as a field for their own aggrandisement, and to its proper exploitation they believe thatthe goodwill and assistance of Sir John Macdonald is essential.They have built up an idol whom they believed would serve them; they find that continual sacrifice at his altar is necessary to obtain the slightest recognition.The idea of changing the British North America Actin anyway that may contract his power is wormwood to him, and his press aud his creatures believe they cannot better win his smile than by denouncing the conference that contemplated ils amendment.| In the mean time, the desires of the pao- ple of Canada are thwarted, business men are put to needless trouble and expense, and Provinces «re brought to the verge of rebellion or renderad dissatisfied with their political connections.THE NEW FIRE CHIEF.The City Council having dealt with the Chiefship of the Fire Brigade and appointed Mr.Benoit to the position from which Mr.Patton has been dismissed, it may not be amiss now to look at the situation and its requirements.We do not propose to discuss the merits or demerits of the new chief, further than to say that many people are not satisfied that the right thing has been done.Mr.Beckingham was regarded by many of the citizens as a tried man, whose record and experience qualified him for the position ; and besides he was in a sense the tacit choice of a large majority of the Underwriters.That he has not received the appointment is due to the action of Alderman Stevenson, who can, perhaps, explain why he voted against a man acknowledged on all hands to be well qualified for the position.In regard to Mr.Benoit, 80 far as concerns his experience and his knowledge of the requirements of our fire department, he is to all intents and , purposes an untried man.He may fill the vill and prove that he is the man for the place.It is to be presumed that those who voted for him honestly believed him to be qualified for the position of Chief, and it will, therefore, be only right that he should be given fair play and afforded every opportunity of proving his competency.The question now arises, what are the underwriters going to doin ths matter of rates?They are in a large measure responsible for the present situation.Chief Patton has been dismissed and a new Chief appointed, in deference to their wishes.We do not know that they have confidence in Mr.Benoit.Beyond informally expressing confidence in Mr.Beckingham they refused to directly indicate their preference.A new Chief having been appointed, and the first practical step having been thus taken towards re-organizing the Fire Department, the citizens, have a right to expect that the Underwriters will in good faith recognize the new situation of affairs, assume that a competent fire chief has been appointed and reduce insurance rates.If Mr.Benoit proves that he is the right man in the right place, everybody will be satisfied.If, however, it should transpire that he is not competent for the position, if no improvement in the morale of the fire brigade takes place under his management, then it will be competent for them to take such action as they may deem necessary.In the meantime Tue HEraLD voices the opinions of many leading citizens and taxpayers when it takes the ground that the fire underwriters are now in honour and duty bound to recognize the changed situation and reduce existing rates of fire insurance.\u201c YOURE NOT WANTED, SIR.\u201d A private despatch received in the city last night from the New York World\u2014 and confirmed later on by our special from Washington\u2014conveyed the intimation that President Cleveland had formally notified Lord Sackville that his -presence in Washington is no longer desirable.This action of the President appears to be extreme and unusual, and would eeem to indicate that the communications between the two Governments through Minister Phelps had not resulted satisfactorily to the Washington administration.However, it does not necessarily follow that the incident will cause any ill-feeling between the two countries.It is admitted on all hands that the British Minister's answer to the Pomona letter was not only indiscreet, but à blunder that could not be overlooked; and his recall or voluntary withdrawal was generally looked for.The somewhat prompt action of the President in anticipating such a move on the part of Lord Sackyille or the British Government indicates pretty clearly that he has no intention of allowing the Republicans to profit by what is now very generally regarded as a politi- tal trap laid for the British Ambassador, and deliberately intended by those who laid it to prejudice the interests of the Democratic party.Ldbked at simply as a political move, President Cleveland's action must be regarded as a masterly stroke.It will be very apt to convince the people who were expected to be influenced.against his administration by Pomona letter, that there is no danger of the President or his Cabinet truckling to Great Britain or any other foreign power, or permitting foreign ambassadors to interfere improperly in American party politics; and it may be expected that votes will be polled accordingly.If the Pomona letter was really a dodge on the part of Republicans to injure Cleveland in the Presidential campaign, they have evidently over-reached themselves, and stand to lose a good deal more than they will gain by the operation.But what shall be said of the national politics of a great country thus reduced to a miserable game of sharp practice between contending factions and the most prominent statesmen of both parties dragged, nolens, volens, into the seething vortex by means of discreditable traps laid by party wire-pullers.A EUROPEAN WAR SCARE.And now the vivacious European correspondents of American papers, who know so much about what is going on in the privacy of continental cabinets, are working up a new war scare.This time the divorce of Queen Natalie, of Servia, is the bone of discord.She is a Russian and her divorce has incensed the Czar who will seek to bring about Milan\u2019s de- thremement, This, it ig alleged, explains the recent massing of Russian troops ona large scale on the Austrian and German frontiers.The announcement tbat the Czar\u2019s visit to Berlin has been postponed indefinitely, is taken to mean that the entente cordiale between Germany and Russia has been broken by the Servian episode\u2014the former supporting King Milan and the latter strongly sympathizing with the divorced Queen.As Fan indication of the disturbed state of affairs, it is also noted that the Russian papers are publishing articles on the ineffectiveness of the Austrian and Italian armies, particularly the latter, and the spirit of disunion which prevails among the heterogeneous elements which compose the Austrian Empire, Evidently Russia is beginning to feel that Austria would not be a very serious antagonist, even if she were supported by Germany.Another element in the war scare which the correspondents are working up is the alleged growing strength of Boulanger in France, for which there may be some foundation, as the Paris correspondent of the London Times, who has been in the habit of belittling Boulanger and his influence, admits the possibility of the General coming back from the general elections backed by a majority composed of Bonapartists, Orleanists, Legitimists and political adventurers generally who owe no fealty to any particular party Counting upon such a contingency and combining it with the Servian episode, the correspondents are enabled to figure out a very critical state of affairs on the continent, and work up their war scare in good shape.It is noticeable, however, that they have nothing more to say about the combination forming to isolate and crush England.According to their present diagnosis of the situation the isolating and crushing are likely to be in some other direction.In the meantime Great Britain and Germany appear to be arranging for joint action in Africa with a view to grappling with the apparently increasing power of the Arab slave traders\u2014a fact which does not indicate the existence of any serious tension between the two countries.Perhaps Bismarck has arrived atthe conclusion that, all things considered, it would be just as well for Germany to be on good terms with England.HOW IT WAS DONE.The Halifax Herald is not yet done jubilating over the \u201csignificance\u201d of the Tory victory in Shelburne, where General Laurie, who had been unseated and barely escaped disqualification, backed by the whole power of the Government, secured a majority of 41 over a young lawyer, almost unknown personally to a majority of the electors, who only had two weeks in which to canvass the County.The significance of the result is illustrated by the following intimation made to the electors of that County by the Herald, the Tory organ, conveying at once a corrupt offer and a threat :\u2014 Now every intelligent elector must see that if these public works are needed there can be nothing wrong in having them coastructed.And if General Laurie is assisting in any way in inducing the authorities to construct them, he is doing the county a genuine service.But ifthe county, at the dictation of a clique of Grit wire-pullers, turns him out for doing this, it must certainly be taken as an intimation that the county does not want any of these works constructed.In plain English the Government through its organ, said to the electors of Shelburne, \u201cif you want public works \u201c constructed in the county you must \u201c elect General Laurie ; if you don\u2019t elec: \u201c him the public works will not be con- \u201c structed.\u201d This is what a noted Pres byterian divine, of the Conservative persuasion politically, would call * bribery by wholesale.\u201d In the contest a year ago the Tory candidate and his agents bribed the electors individvaly; but the business was too risky to bear repetition.This time the bribery and intimidation were done in such a way that they cannot be reached by the law.The whole business is none the less disgraceful.MUDDLED OR DISHONEST, WHICH ?Some Conservative papers are hinting that Hon.Edward Blake in becoming one of the Canadian Pacific Railway's lawyers is acting rather inconristently, in view of the rather severe attitude he took up against the C.P.R.in politics.To attack him on this line is absurd, as things go.As well might a Liberal politician be blamed for traveling on the C.P.R\u2014Ottawa Journal.Mr.Blake thinks the Pacific Company right, or he thinks it wrong.If he thinks it is right, he holds, in Parliament, that it is wrong, for the sake of political effect, and against his own belief.If he thinks itis wrong, he holds in court that it is right, for the sake of money and against his private conviction.His friends may take either horn of the dilemma they choose.\u2014 Hamilton Spectator.\u2018We decline to believe that the Spectator is quite so stupid as the above paragraph would seem to imply.Mr, Blake\u2019s opposition to Sir John Macdonald's Government for giving what the Liberals held to be an improvident contract to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, is one thing.Mr, Blake's acting for the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, against the Government, in a case in which the latter are charged with taking off Onderdonk\u2019s hands and handing over to the C.P.R.a piece of road not completed according to contract and specification, is quite another thing.The Liberals have no quarrel with the C.P.R.Co.for getting as good a bargain as possible ; their quarrel is with the Tory Government which gave the alleged improvident contract.The Onderdonk contract case, in which Mr.Blake is employed by the C.P.R,, is really a suit against the Government for breach of contract in accepting and imposing upon the company an imperfectly constracted piece of road, in doing which they sacrificed the interests of the country and rendered it possible that the people may have to pay two prices for that ninety miles of railway.The Spectator may possibly he eon- fused over this matter; we don't think fHE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE WEDNESDAY.OCDYSaR 31.anybody else is.If the C.P.R.win their suit, the reputation of the Governm:nt Spectator and other Tory papers which are snarling at Hon.Mr.Blake.-_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 TORONTO \u201cMAIL\u201d: \u2014 A correspondent writes to us in defence of the Toronto Post- office staff, which, he says, has beon attacked by the Mail.No attack whatever has been made in these columns.It has been stated, however, that through * heeler\u201d influence \u2018many unfit persons find employment in that and other public departments.A post-office clerk who, after being suspended more than once or twice, was finally dismissed for drunkenness, was appointed a few days afterwards to the Custom House by his patron, \u201cJohnny ** Small.This sort of thing was characterized as improper, but we are open to conviction on the point.Was it proper: and, if 50, what constitutes an improper distribution of patronage ?Proper!! Most certainly! Do men men gather fowls from fig trees or baa- anas from blackthorns?The word \u201c proper\u201d means \u201c belonging to the natural or essential constitution of ; as every animal has his proper instincts and inclinations, appetites or habits.\u201d (vide Webster.) In the instance ciled by the Mail we bave the natural habit and-appe- tite of the mail clerk and the instinct properto the Tory politician.The instinct, inclination and habit of Sir John is to use the public service as a dumping ground for heelers, and if \u201c Johnny Small \u201d\u2019whom we take to be Mr.Small the member for Toronto, has not the regulation habits and instincts he would hardly have been selected as a * whip\u201d of the party, or the organizer of trap letters to catch Liberal leaders.IN ANY BUILDINGS which the Government may intend to erect at Vancouver we presume that consideration will be given to the progressive order of things in that city, and that the mistake will not be repeatzd of building a post office or other building of such limited capacity that its abandonment will become necessary in a few years.The progress of Vancouver has been extraordinary, and it promises to continue.Where a forest stood a few years ago a city of 10,000 inhabitants now stands.There are miles of streets and the buildings going up are of brick and stone, the use of wood having been discarded.Handsome blocks are up or in course of erection that would be a credit to the principal streets of Montreal.AII this, no doubt, Sir Hector Langevin learned during his recent interview with Mr.Van Horne, and now, no doubt, understands the subject as thoroughly as anyone.\u2018\u201c EMPIRE\" :(\u2014The principles of the Conservative party are well known.They do not include the promotion of Annexation; on the contrary, the Conservative party will fight annexation and Annexationists $0 the death.If the above means * to the death\u201d of the Conservative party as at present constituted, even Annexationists may plead that they have not been built altogether in vain.Of course, we are well aware that the Conservative party cares very little for the will of the majerity, and that, when crossed in their desires, they are quite capable of burning the public buildings, stoning the Governor-General, and otherwise acting as ill-conditioned rowdies.But we should like to know whelher the Empire expects Mr.Abbott, 8ir A.T.Galt, and & number of other eminent Conservatives, to fight to their death against Mr.Abbott, Sir A.T.Galt: and a number of other eminent Conservatives.: ee HAMILTON \u201cTIMES :\"\u201d\u2014Mr.John Rains- ford, of Clinton, Ontario, manufacturer of salt, complains that the industry is crippled by the customs duty on coal, which he has to import for fuel.He buys coal slack, worth 10 cents per ton at the mines, and is charged a duty of 60 cents per ton on one third of it, and 20 per cent.of $1.70 per ton on the remaining two-thirds.The customs authorities make their own valuation.That's what Tories call encouraging Canadian industry.The Tory plan of relief would be to even up by increasing the duty on salt, so that Mr.Rainsforth could charge a higher price for his product.The com- morsense plan would be to strike off the coal duty.We must remember, however, that, holding peculiar views as to how they shall \u2018encourage Canadian industry,\u201d Jour Tory rulers are not very apt to think of the common-sense plan of reducing taxation ; and if they did entertain such an idea, the \u201ccombines\u201d wonld not let them carry it into effect.THE ** GAZETTE\u2019 :\u2014The people of the agricultural districts are not much alarmed, according to Le Nord, at the threat of the American Government to impose a customs duty on Canadian eggs.The export already 80 large will continue to increase, simply because eggs enter, in one form or another, into 80 many culinary preparations that they are indispensable, whatever the price, The Government of Washington will be simply making the people of the United States pay a higher price for what they must and will have in any case.So consumers do pay the duty after all.Then who pays the duty on the 1,149,792 tons of bituminuous coal imported into Canada for the fiscal year 1886-87; or on the 34,467,423 yards of printed cottons; or on the $9,746,667 worth of iron and steel manufactures ; or on the 200,000,000 pounds of sugar, and on many other dutiable articles imported in the same year ?This is an interesting question for consumers.DovsrruL ComeLiMENT.\u2014It is a question wbether or not Judge Killam of Winnipeg will feel complimentsd, but within the last few days telegraphers and newspapers have managed to transmogrify his name into Kilrain.If he is a hard hitter it must be in a judicial and legal sense.Tue News From CmiNa indicates the probability of the introduction there of a retaliation policy against the United States.ItChinamen are not to be permitted to enter the United States the Celestial mandarins appear to think that Americans should be required to leave the flowery kingdom.This, of course, would be goring the wrong ox and Americans have too much English in them to quietly put up with the lez talionis by what Lord Palmerston called \u201can .Eastern Barbarian,\u201d but who would now will suffer.That is what is troubling the ! in the old country be called \u201ca blooming Chinaman.\u201d But it ig not easy tosee what decent excuse the Americans can find for objecting to their citizens\u2019 exclusion from China while the recent anti-Chinese law stands on the American statute book.Easr NORTHUMBERLAND.\u2014The Liberals of this constituency held a convention on Monday at which they unanimously nominated Dr.Mallory, ex-M.P., for the vacancy in the House of Commons caused by tke unseating of Mr.Cochrane.The writ for the election has not yet been issued.ITALIAN labourers are being imported to work on the Chignecto Marine Railway in New Brunswick.If is to be hoped they will receive better treatment than was accorded the unfortunate men who were imported to work on the Hereford Railway.DEATHS.LOUGHMAN.\u2014In this city on the 29th instant, Catherine Loughman, aged 72 years, a pative of Clogheen, County Tipperary, Ire- and.Funeral from the residence of her nephew, Michael Loughman, 88 Prince street, corner Wellington, on Thursday, 1st November, at 2.30 pm.to Cote des Neiges Cemetery.Friends and acquaintances will please accept this intimation, (Waterford and Tipperary, Ireland, papers please copy.)

Prospect.[Brooklyn Eagle.} WaAsHINGTON, D.C, Oct.27.\u2014 On the surface there is absolutely no political activity visible in Washington to-day.The fighting is going on far from here, and the energetic participants are conspicuously absent.Dut in Washingion there exists the most intense personal interest in the result, and, naturally, the most accurate reports of the situation are found here.Every day some of the ablest leaders of both parties make flying visits to the capital to satisfy the anxiety uppermost in the minds of national officials or to consult the men who have most at stake in the impending vote, and the result of eager questioning en all sides presents a most valuable collection of expert opinion.But in no campaign were the opinions ever so diverse.Many prominent political leaders are just as confident of President Cleveland\u2019s re-election as others, just as prominent, are doubtful.[When asked to explain this diversity of ideas, these men sbake their heads and say the elements of uncertainty in the canvass are unprecedented.Keen witted men, who have recently haunted the headquarters of the two national committees and have had the benefit of the private views of the managers, bave said that both committees are frightened at the way the canvass bas got out of their control.They have lost their grasp of the situation.It was incomprehensible to them and the ordinary campaign methods are worthless in the premises.As a shrewd observer put it, there was a great movement on the part of the people, but none of the political managers could foresee its outcome.Quay, Gorman, Barnum and the other old school directors were puzzled.They were, in effect, looking at a crowd from a great distance.They knew it was moving by the dust it raised, but they could not tell which way it was going.One of them got a high power telescope and he could make out the composition of the crowd and that was alla great popular demonstration of political independence, composed of voters who refused to give account of their intentions to anybody.it was the 1884 problem of Mugwumpism, which threw politicians \u2018 entirely out of their reckoning, greatly intensified.Since that time the whole policy of the National Government had tended to educate voters and weaken party aristocracy.The very issues presented by the parties were calculated to cause changes of opinion and divorce local from national influence.This is the picture they present.They all know that in nearly every State many voters are going from one party to the other, and in the general shifting back and forth they find it impossible to tell which way the popular drift is tending.From some localities the managers get reports of large migrations of Republicans to the Democratic standards.Simul- tapeously, almost, this news will be offset by reports of immense Republican gains in Democratic stromgholds.The great national issue daily causes great breaches in local organizations of both parties in many directions and at the same time heals as many long existing differences in others.This bewildering condition of affairs is particularly general in New York State, where, after all, the grea battleground lies.- Governor Hill is not feared nor does the Metropolitan Mayoralty contest cause as much anxiety as it did.Much of the perplexity is caused by the fact that the managerial figuring is all mixed up and - enables no one te judge of the feeling in the State at large.Followers of the Administration feel the increased registration to be in their interest, but there is a good deal of uncertainty as to how much of this new registration is \u201cfor revenue only,\u201d and may be bought by the men with the m®st money.The greatest difficulty, though, is said to be found in the broad expanse of an absolutely unknown county in the interior of the State.If Quay knew what he could count on above Harlem be could tell to-day how much money he would have to spend in the tenement houses.And if Brice had the same information he would be in \"better shape to checkmate Quay.But both are ata loss and both feel that there may be a sweeping plurality either way when the total vote is cast.This lends increased weight to the remarkable prediction made by a veteran politician, now of the National Democratic Committee, a few days, in a room of the White House.Earnestly weighing every word, and checking the weight as he went along, le said: \u201cThe election will be decisive.There will be a clean sweep.If we succeed we shall carry twenty-six States with atleast three hundred electoral votes.If Harrison wins he will break the solid South in three places, carry twenty-six States and have 275 electoral votes.The plurality in the popular vote will be 1,000,000 one way or the other, That is my opinion.You may choose the alternative which seems least impossible to you.I know that prophecy will give me some criti- cigm in the next two weeks, but after the election you willfind I am right.And you will find I am right when Isay President Cleveland will carry the twenty-six States.\u201d This is believed to be the most sanguine expression that has yet been drawn from any cne who is supposed to know something about the matter, and it is generally thought significant that no prominent Republican can be found to offset the statement.Republicans are not doing much talking compared with their adversaries.A casual bet when they can get odds is the whole extent of their remarks bere.The Democrats are having all the conversation to themselves.They are claiming à sure thing in California, Indiana, New Jersey and New York, with fair prospects in Connecticut and Michigan.Republicans concede that Cleveland may carry all the States he carried in 1884 except Connecticut and New York.Both sides generally agree that New York is the pivotal State, and that as New York goes £0 goes the country.No Democrat can be found who now claims that Cleveland can be re-elected without th thirty-six votes of the Iimpire State.In marked contrast to the buoyan view above is the following, which 15 somewhat different from that entertaine by the more enthusiastic members of either party.The speaker is a prominent and active Democrat who has had excellent opportunities for judging the Aerdency of events, both by obssrvation, He could see that it was- THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE.WEDNESDAY.OCTOBER 81 afforded by extensive travel and intercourse with party leaders in at least eighteen States he has recently visited.As to the chances of Cleveland carrying any of the States heretofore counted as reliably Republican, he regards all claims for such a result a8 worse than nonsense and money spent to hat end as foolishly thrown away, except, possibly, in Michigan, where he thinks there is a remote ope of success.He estimates the carrying of the Legislature of Kansas and the sending of a Democrat to the Senate as within the range of possibility, without any chance, however, of Cleveland carrying the State.California, he is convinced, is sure for Harrison by from 20,000 to 25,000.He bases these figures on the largely increased vote due to extensive accessions in population since 1864, mainly from the Northern States, nearly all of which will vote the Republican ticket.Connecticut he concedes to the Republicans by a small but sure majority, while he considers Indiana and New Jersey equally sure for Cleveland, but also by small majorities.In New York he thinks the Republicans will reach High Bridge with 70,000 majority, which will be met by a Democratic majority in New York City of 54,000; in Kings County of 15,000, and in Queens, Suffolk and Richmond of about 1,500, leaving 500 majority fpr Cleveland in the State.He takes the figures for the State above the metropolis from his owa observations.The city fisures he credits to the Democratic State Committee.x While both parties are straining every nerve in the Presidential contest, a matter of fully as great importance is not attracting the widespread attention deserved.It seems to be the general impression that the next Congress will be in harmony with the next President, no matter who he is.But there are many chances that even President Cleveland cannot alter the complexion of New Jersey\u2019s Legislature, and in that event the present Republican majority in the United States Senate will continue.If Senator McPherson is re-elected the two parties in the Senate will be of equal numerical strength and the Vice-Presi- dent will have the casting of the dacisive vote on all political questions.Should New Jersey send a Republican Senator that party would have the same majority of two it mow has.And this binds the hands of any Democratic Pre- 'sident.The case is just as serious in the House of Representatives.The Republicans have a very small majority to overcome.The nominal Damocratic plurality in that body at present is fifteen members.Yive of these voted against the Mills bill, leaving the actual majority of the Democrats out ten members.It will be seen that it only requires a change in five Congressional districts to tie the House.Republicans are confident that they will change three in Connecticut, two in Illinois, two in Massachusetts, two in Michigan, three in Ohio, five in New York, four in Pennsylvania and two in West Virginia, in all twenty- three, which would give them a probable clear majority of about ten votes.Democrats do not make any claim for an increase of their present strength.In fact, the clerk of the present House concedes that the Republicans will gain one or two seats, but he is confident that the Democratic majority will not fall below ten.This is a small majority for comfort, and if it is wiped out the result will be disastrous.Should the Republicans gain both Houses of Congress and the Presidency they would be in a position to indefinitely postpone all Democratic hopes of again participating in national affairs.Their first step has already been decided upon.They would divide Dakota in halves and admit them to Statehood; thereby gaining four Senators and six or eight Representatives, all safely Republican.They would also have control of the next census and the re-appor- tionment cf Congressional districts, thus effectually sealing the fate of their opponents.The Blair Educational bill would soon become a law to the great diszust of the people it is supposed to elevate.And Tariff reform would quickly be forgotten.If the Democracy 18 successful the shoe would be on the other foot and theRepublican party would probably die in its unclothed stata of exposure.: Just how serious is this matter is shown by the vigorous activity of Republicans in aH the doubtful districts.Outside of New York the most determined fighting to-day is being forced in West Virginia, where two Democratic members got majorities last time of 348 and 189 out of totals, respectively, of 29,464 and 32,679, and the third, Wilson, had only 17,112, his Republican opponent ling 17,022, having lost 181 votes to a hibitionist, who ran as a side show.A change of afew votes in the State La- gislature will also take the Senatorial toga away from the young Demosthenes of the Democracy, John E.Kenna, atthe end of the session, and this causes much Republican monay to circulate in the land of the Hatfield McCoy feud.(New York Telegram.) How many States will Mr, Cleveland carry ?This is the conundrum that politicians of allshades of opinion are compelled to \u201c give up.\u201d Never before in a national election has there been such a complicated state of affairs.The old party lines are no longer closely drawn; there is a constant shifting of partisans, and a gain tor one side is quickly offset by a corresponding gain to the other side.All this causes the \u201c man who knows it all \u201d to descend from his perch as a prophet and to be without honour in his own country or anywhere else.A STARTER FOR OLEVELAND, .The one thing conceded by all \u2018men who have given attention to the present political problem is that Mr.Cleveland will carry all the States that voted for him in 1884 except New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Indiana.\u2018This gives Mr.Cleveland 153 votes to start with, as follows : Alabama.10 Missouri.\u2026\u2026\u2026.\u2026.1G Arkansas 7 North Carolina.11 Delaware.3 South Carolina.9 Florida.oue.4 12 Kentucky 13 12 Louisiana.5 West Virginia.6 Maryland.8 \u2014 Mississippi.9 Total.153 The above States are invariably placed in the Democratic column by the Republicans.But the States of New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Indiana are placed in the doubtful column by the ; same party.In return the Democrats place among the doubtful States California, Michigan, Minnesota and Colorad@ all claimed by the Llepublicans .or Harrison.In this case Mr.Cleveland would add thirty-one electoral votes to his 153 already given as follows :\u2014

Jersey.\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.9 Indiana.15 TOtAl.\u2026.0scca verres secs sua0 00 sesanccuns 66 This would give the Democracy a total electoral vote of 260, or?forty-nine more than would be necessary to secure the election of Mr.Cleveland.The aggregate of 250 electoral votes is claimed by many sanguine Democrats, who assert that there will be a tidal wave sweep over the country like that which carried Franklin Pierce to the White Honse.THE EMPIRE STATE.Without taking such a roseate view of the election, an examination into the standing of the so-called doubtful States is interesting, New York comes first, with its thirty-six electoral votes.Will it go Democratic?There seems to be little doubt of it.The small majority received by Mr.Cleveland in 1884 ought to be greatly increased, for the President's ood administration has made him many riends among the farmers of the State, who heartily approve his tariff reform views.Besides this, General Harrison bas not the magnetism of Mr, Blaine, whose campaign in this State was made memorable by the appearance on the platform of the shining lights of his party.&hey are conspicuous in the pra- sent campaign only by their absence.Hence this State may be set down in the Democratic column, and this is ths result :\u2014 New York.10 000ssa00 cc esse 00000 cee.36 Electoral votes conceded.RER 153 Total.\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.Lasss na

Jersey has never given her nine votes to a Republican candidate for the Presidency but once, and can be set down as solid for Cleveland in 1888, Indiana has been declared as lost to the Republicans by such an eminent authority as Frederick Douglass.In that case fifteen votes would be given to Mr.Cleveland, who, if he also carries New York, would not need New Jersey to secure success.His total vote would then be 204 without New Jersey.As for Connecticut, it is a doubtful State, but appearances thus far indicate that it will be carried by the Democrats.There has been a great change of opinion in Minnesota and also in Michigan, and the Republican leaders are hustling to keep the two States in line.They may do so, but it will take a great deal of money that is needed for other doubtful States.California is believed to be certain for the Democrats on account of the opposition to Harrisons views on the Chinese question.Colorado is in the balance, but will probably declare for Marrison, although there is some hope of a different result.THE BLAINE STATES.The States that voted for Mr.Blaine in 1884 are :\u2014 California.8 Nebraska., 5 Colorado.3 Nevada.3 Illinois .22 New

Jersey._\u2014e\u2014\u2014\u2014 GEORGIA GINGER DRINKERS.\u2018 A man can\u2019t get drunk on ginger, can he ?\u201d a druggist was asked by an Atlanta Journal reporter.\u201cWell, if you could see some of my regular ginger drunkards at times you would think so.Ginger is made from alcohol and ginger root.The root is ground and put into one of these funnel- shaped percolators, after yhich the alco- tol is poured upon it and soaks through it, dropping into the jar, in the mouth of which isgixed the funn2i.This tincture is, a8 you know, if you ve ever tasted it, as hot as liquid fire, and a teaspoonful is a big dose for an ordinary man.One pound of ginger will make two quarts of tincture, and many prefer it to whiskey.\u201d \u201cHow much does a conlirmed ginger drinker take at a dose?\u201d \u201cThere are one or two men who are regular ginger drinkers, that take as much as four ounces at a time, or to show you the difference, thirty-two tea- spoontuls.If you or I or any other man unaccustomed to drinking ginger should take that much at once it would kill us.We would be apt to have convulsions at first, followed by a comatose condition, in which state death would come.\u201d \u201cHow much to make a man drunk ?\u201d \u201cI have seen one man get drunk on four ounces, and then again I\u2019ve seen a man who drank the sgme quantity have a sort of epileptic fit, lasting for several minutes.\u201d \u201cWhateffect will the drinking of ginger produce in the long run?\u201d \u201cIt is far more injurious than whiskey, and will kill a man who drinks it regularly in from two to three years\u2019 tims.If you should hold a tablespoonful of ginger in your mouth a minute, it would blister the inside coating of the mouth, and you can imagine what the effect on the stomach would be grappling with two or three tablespoonfuls of ginger every day.\u201d \u201cCan you tell a ginger drinker from an ordinary man ; or, in other words, will the drinking of ginger affect the personal appearance of a man as whiskey does ?\u201d \u201cWhiskey drinking makes a man\u2019s face red.Girger drinking makes it pale, as the ginger draws the blood away from the surface to the centre of the body.Pre watched these ginger drinkers closely, and I've studied them a good deal.I've learned that an habitual ginger drinker, like a morphhine eater, loses all regard for the truth, and would rather lie than tell the truth.They also become hypochondriacs and imagine they are affected with every disease under the sun.One day they\u2019ll come in with a long face declaring they've got tramp colic and must have ginger.Another day they\u2019ll have heart disease and will surely die unless they cen get ginger.The next time they have dyspepsia or rheumatism, but no matter what they have they seem to think ginger the sovereign remedy, and nothing else will do them, The trouble with them is the ginger drinking, for it ruins the digestion, inflames the stomach and throws the whole system into disorder.\u201d \u201cIs there any advantage in buying ginger?\u201d \u201cGinger costs $1 a pint, while whiskey sells at from fifty cents up.The people who drink it, and they are numerous, both men and women, are for the most pert m physical wrecks who were confirmed\u2019 drunkards when prohibition Children Cry for Pitc her's Castoria.came upon us, and their unnatural appetites must be satisfied, so they bought ginger as the next best substitute for whiskey, We ship ginger by the barrel to prohibition towns, as the old topers think it is the best substitute for whiskey and once they get accustomed to it they prefer it to whiskey.\u201d THE LATEST CONFUCIUS.The Duke Confucius, lineal descendant of China\u2019s greatest sage, is one of the greatest personages

and if His Royal Highuess\u2019s grandson, our illustrious grand master, could bring about a similar union between Quebec and this grand lodge, none would rejoice wore than our correspondent and ourselves.Historical and Other Reminiscences.In 1793, on the eve of his departure for the mother country, at the close of his benign rule in QueYec as Provincial Grand Master of \u201cThe Ancients,\u201d H.R.H.the Duke of Kent, father of our beloved Queen, was presented, by what was even then sometimes styled the Grand Lodge at Quebec, with a loyal and fraternal ad - dress, in which, among others, those farseeing craftsmen earnestly besought His Royal Highness that on his return to England he would exert his great influence to bring about a \u201c union \u201d [between the antagonistic lodges of \u201cAncients\u201d and \u201c Moderns,\u201d so that united craft lodge allegiance, with all its manifold blessings, could be enjoyed in Quebec.How nobly and efficiently His Royal Highness fulfilled his solemn promise thereanent to those fathers of the craft in then Lower Canada, by having been the chief instrument in consummating the glorious union of 1813, is well known to all gcod brethren, not only in England, but throughout the Masonic world; and whose good effects will continue for evermore.It thus appears that from \u2018 Quebec\u201d sprung, if not the primal, yet probably the controlling impulse whose happy consummation was the formation of \u201cThe United Grand Lodge of Ancient Freemasons of England!\u201d What \u201cra- turn\u201d may England now make therefor ?Nor are other historic incidents in \u201cthe line of succession\u201d of the now Grand Lodge of Quebec, to the auspicious regime in that dependency of H.R:H.the Duke of Kent, and its peculiar relationship to the illustrious fraternal reign in England of H.R.H.the Prince of Wales, devoid of interest and importance.The First Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Quebec, M.W.Bro.John Hamilton Graham, L.L.D., in hts ninth annual address, 1883, spoke as follows :\u2014 ¢* Some Notable Quebec Events.\u201d \u201c Assembled here in grand lodge, we cannot forget that it was in this famous old city of Quebec, where our illustrious R.W.Brother, the Duke of Kent, and father of our beloved Queen, presided over the craft, as grand master of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Lower Canada having been installed June 22, 1792, To make the remembrance of t .is interesting Masonic event more p easing, I need Lut remind the officers a .d members of this grand lodge, that on the occasion ot the happy union of the remaining \u2018Canada\u2019 lodges in our province, with this grand body, there were transmitted to us, through me as the then grand master, by the late M.W.Bro.T.D.Harrington, as our proper inheritance, an antique Masonic \u2018square\u2019 of gold, having a \u2018brilliant\u2019 at the angle, and having thereon this inscription: \u2018The gift of His Royal Highness Prince Edward, the first R.W.Grand Master of Ancient Masons in Canada,\u2019 and on the reverse, \u2018R.W.Grand Lodge, Canada; \u2019 and'also a large key of fine gold, with \u2018monogram,\u2019 surmounted by a \u2018crows,\u2019 the gift also to that Provincial Grand Lodge of Prince William Henry, the Duke of Clarence, and afterwards William IV.Also the three principal chairs, used at this Communication of Grand Lodge, were the gift, in 1809, of M.W.Bro.the Duke of Sussex.\u201c And while we so highly prize these precious relics, and while with so great satisfaction we call to remembrance the auspicious rule as Provincial Grand Master of our R.W.Royal Brother, the Duke of Kent, yet the memory of his sojourn in this grand old city will, I believe, be cherished, as fondly amongst us as citizens and Craftsmen by the two following patriotic and fraternal utterances which have come down to us and which I know you will be pleased to have me make mention of at the present time, in order that they may, through you, be transmitted to the coming generations of craftsmen: On an important occasion, and amidst peculiar circumstances, during a brief address, with deep emotion, he said: * Let there never more be heard amongst you, ¢ the King\u2019s old and new subjects,\u2019 \u2018the French and English inhabitants;\u2019 You are all he King\u2019s Canadian subjects.\u2019 And at 10ther time, when presiding in lodge, a \u2018other, in speaking upon a question, ad- ressed him as \u2018 Your Royal Highness;\u2019 #hereupon the R.W.Provincial Grand Master said, \u2018Worshipful Brother, there \u2018are no Royal Highnesses here, we \u2018are\u2019 all brethren.\u2019\u201d In view, therefore, of the unique historical Masonic relationship existing between England and Quebec, nothing could have been more meet and fitting than was the presence of M.W.Brother Dr.Graham, representing Quebec, as the only grand master, or past grand master, from any dependency of the Empire, at the installation in Albert hall, 1875, of H.R.H.the Prince of Wales, as Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of England.Such are some of the links of the peculiarly fraternal relationsnip existing between \u201cEngland\u201d and * Quebec \u201d for nearly a bygone century.To-day, alas, inter-jurisdictional disassociation unhappily exists! Shall it much Ionger continue?God forbid.DR.DE JORGH'S LIGHT-BROWN COD LIVER OIL.IN THROAT AFFECTIONS ITS EFFICACY IS UNEQUALLED.Lennox Browne, Esq., F.R.C.8.E., Senior Surgeon, Central London Throat\u2018 and Ear Hospital writes:\u2014 \u201c The action of Dr.de Jongh\u2019s Light Brown Cod Liver Oil has proved, in my own experience, particularly valu able, not only in those diseases for which it was originally employed, but also in many cases of Weakness of the Singing and Speaking Voice, dependent on Bronchial or Laryngeal Irritation, and in all forms of Strumous Enlargement of Glands, and Discharges from the Ear.\u201d Sold only in capsuled Imperial Half ints, Pints, Quarts, by all druggists.le Consignees, Ansar, Harford and Co., 210 High Hoborn, London.Agent at Montreal, Evans Sons & Mason, Limited.= may \u2014 Snes ay - THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAY MUSIC AS SHE IS EXECUTED.Solomon Accused of Violating the Laws of Good Taste.Attending service not long ago in an elegant church edifice where they worship God with taste in a highly esthetic manner, the choir began that scriptural poem that compares Solomon with the lilies of the field, somewhat to the for- mers disadvantage.Although never possessing a great admiration for Solomon, nor considering him a suitable person to hold upas a shining example befcre the Young Men's Christian Association, still a pang of pity for him was left when the choir, after expressing unbounded admiration for the lilies of the field, wlich itis doubtful if they ever observed very closely, began to tell the congregation through the mouth of the soprano that \u201cSolomon in all his glory was not arrayed.\u201d Straightway the soprano was reinforced by the bass, who declared that Solomon was most decidedly and emphatically not ar- rayed\u2014was not arrayed.Then the alto ventured it as her opinion that Solomon was not arrayed, when the tenor without a moment\u2019s hesitation sang as if it had been officially announced that \u201che was not arrayed.\u201d Then when the feelings of the congregation had been harrowed up sufficiently and our sympathies aroused for poor Solomon whose numerous wives allowed him to go about in such a fashion even in that climate, the choir altogether in a most cool and composed manner informed us that the idea they intended to convey was that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed \u201clike one of these.\u201d These what?So long a time bad elapsed since they sang of the lilies that the thread was entirely lost, and by \u201cthese\u201d one naturally concluded that the choir was designated.Arrayed like one of these?We should think not, indeed ! Solomon with a Prince Albert or cutaway coat?Solomon with an eyeglass and moustache, his hair cut pompadour ?No, most decidedly.Solomon in the very zenith of his glory was not arrayed like one of these.Despite the experience of the morning the hope still remained that in the evening asacred song might be sungin a manner that would not excite our risi- bilities or leave the impression that we bad been listening to a case of blackmail.But again off started the nimble soprano with the very laudable though startling announcement, \u201cI will wash.\u201d Straightway the alto, not to be outdone, declared she would wash.And the tenor, finding it to be the thing, warbled | \u2018hen the forth he would wash.deep chested basso, as thdhgh calling up all his fortitude for the plunge, bellowed forth the stern resolve that he also would wash.Next a short interlude on the organ, strongly suggestive of the escaping of steam or splash of the waves, after which the choir individually and collectively asserted the firm, unshaken resolve that they would wash.At last they solved the problem by stating that they proposed to \u201cwash their hands in innocency, so will the altar of the Lord be compassed.\u201d\u2014Good Housekeeping, 0 ALL ISAAC.Mow a Youthful Reader Got Around the Hard Names in the Bible.The daughter of a clergyman in this vicinity, says the Pittsburg Dispatch, who had learned to read very well, recently asked ber father's permission to read aloud the bible to a poor, old, bed-ridden woman.Permission was granted and once or twice a week the little girl took her bible and read a chapter to the aged invalid.A week or so passed and the clergyman himself paid a call upon the old woman and before he left he asked her how his daughter progressed as a reader of holy writ.The old woman replied enthusiastically that the child was an angel and had read her some beautiful passages in the life of Isaac.About a month later, the reading of the bible having continued under the same auspices, the clergyman once more called upon the old woman.Naturally he repeated his inquiry as to his little daughter\u2019s reading, and was surprised when the old woman replied: \u201c Well, she reads very nicely, sir, but l\u2019m getting a little tired of hearing about Isaac.\u201d \u201cDoesn\u2019t she read from other parts of the bible ?\u201d the good minister asked, for he was puzzled.\u2019 \u201cIt may be other parts, sir, but it do all be about Isaac,\u201d the old woman made answer.As soon as hereached home the clergyman called his youngest daughter to him and asked her why she had such a preference for the history of Abraham and Sarab\u2019s first-born.Without the least hesitation the child replied: \u201cYou see, papa, I can\u2019t read very well yet, and those long names do bother me so that I thought old Mrs.Brown wouldn\u2019t mind if I called all the men Isaac, and that\u2019s why.\u201d So by this simple plan Jehosophat and Jeroboam and Nebuchadnezzer and Mel- chisedec and all the rest of the polysyllabic surnames had been transformed into the simple and easy cognomen of the second of the patriarchs.A DREAM FULFILLED.The Tragic Fate of a Boy Prefigured in a Nocturnal Vision.William Case, the 18-yeartold son of D.W.Case, and William H.Rickey, a boy of about his own age, in company with Paul Janey, went down near Shakopee yesterday morning, says the St.Paul Pioneer Press.About 10 o'clock while in the river bottoms watching for ducks, young Rickey noticed that his gun was at tull cock and he attempted to lower the bammer to the safety notch when it allpped and the gun was discharged, the contents striking Case in the temple and killing him instantly.A curious incident in connection with the sad affair is a dream that the mother of tke Rickey boy had the night before.It seems that the parents of the boy were strongly opposed to his going hunting at all, but he had wrung a reluctant consent from them the night before to go just this time.In the morning Mrs.Rickey told her husband that she had just dreamed that their son had been hunting and had shot one of his com- anions.The whole details remained on er mind very vividly and frightened her to such extent that she hegged her husband to go and inform William that he couldnt go.But the boy had arisen an hour or two earlier and was already gone.The details of the shooting coincided almost exactly with the mothers dream.DEArxEss-CURED.\u2014A very interesting 132 page Illustrated Book on deafuess.Noises in the head.How they may Le cured at your home, Post free

the auxiliary force of New York in some of my previous notes, but have not been able to say much about it, not having had the opportunity ot seeing any of the regiments on parade, and judging for myself of their general appearance, organization and efficiency as a body of men.This chance bas at length been thrown across my path in the grand review and march-past held on the 19th of this month before the Governor of New York State.As America depends for her safety principally on her militia and volunteet forces, I expected to find something a great deal, more real and soldier-like than in any of our corps of à similar description.Nor was I much disappointed, although there was a strong resemblance in some of the fantastic uniforms very suggestive of the political campaign liveries worn by Tom, Dick and Harry in their nightly parades aad processions through this city.From a window in the Albemarle HotelI had as good a position as one could wish to view the march- past of the troops before the Governor, and an excellent opportunity of criticising the marching and dressing of the different companies as they passed by.Hearing the sound of martial music and beatinz of drums, I am warned that it is time that I took up my position at the window if I wished to see anything of the review, and arrive just as the Governor and his staff are coming in sight around the opposite block and wheel off and take up their stand at the saluting-post.Now appears the first band, an excellent one, in a glorious uniform and marching pretty well; it wheels to the left and takes up position opposite the Governor inthe usual orthodox military fashion to play its own regiment by.But who are these in the gray uniform of.the South, with their officers in dark blue ?Surely not Southern troops! I have read that this was the uniform of the Confederate Army and am puzzled to see men belonging to that army so far from their home.But I am troubling myself needlessly in surmises as to the cause of their appearance, for as the first company passes I observe on the knapsacks, flung behind, a large figure 7, and am instantly aware that it is that famous New York regiment which bears that numeral ahd which heads the first column.What a shame to rig these men up in the colours of the South, when all are Northeners and proud to be thought 80, when you have an equally serviceable and good-lookiug uniform yourselves ! The officers are clad correctly, so why not the men?It is true that most of the volunteers at home are in gray, but that is the recognized colour for them and has been worn for years by them.But here, where you have liberty to don any kind of tunic, of any colour, why fly to your once enemies and take from them their uniform and putiton your men ?Halloo ! Who are these funny-looking coloured men, with cans over their arms, marching anyhow they like between the companies?Are they our old familiar friends of a different colour that we see at home, but with their old cast-off-looking uniforms and mincing step, the sherbet seller, or, a8 he is termed by our privates, the \u201cfizzer\u201d man?And is he allowed to march in the column instead of keeping a respectable distance from it, to await his opportunity when a halt and \u201cstand at ease\u201d are ordered, to sell a glass or two to the thirsty soldier?If so, he must be doing a roaring trade, as there is one to nearly every company.\u2019 Regiment after regiment passes, and all have nearly about the game proficiency in marching past, and really go by well.Some of the officers by no means look safe on their chargers.One of the staff commences by nearly knocking Gov.Hill off his horse and disturbing the equilibrium of that gentleman\u2019s some- What nervous seat, and another effectually manages to break up a whole company just at the saluting point, much to the disgust of the soldiers, who persuade the animal by use of the butt of the rifle to move out of the way, but not before a policeman had had to lead him and draw him one side.I can imagine the feelings of this officer, who evidently had prepared himself for a great salute and hoped to achieve great honour for himself and men by his smart appearance.Never mind, sir; you have your brother would-be equestrian in our volunteer staff officer at home, and great excuses are to be made on behalf of both.Now comes a strange sight for a foreigner to see\u2014artillery marching past in rear of a column.What a mistake to make ! The highest branch of the service but one marching last! I wonder now our horse artillery would like to have themselves placed in order after the cavalry and infantry of the line! When drawn up in line the order is, engineers at the extreme right, then artillery, then cavalry and then infantry, with a battery or two, as the case may be, on the extreme left, but which always trot up and assume the second place of precedence in marching past.Surely there must have been some mistake in the order of marching.Now comes the Second Brigade evidently.But what is this?What sensation is it that I am feeling?Am I at home or in a foreign land?Why do my pulses beat with such a guickened motion?It is because I see a British band rounding the corner\u2014that dear, old, familiar uniform never seen in any other foreign country but this, except when worn by our own troops.But I must be wrong.These are not Englishmen, for what Englishmen would play at the head of troops wearing the German uniform ?All my enthusiasm is gone, and I bring myself down to the reality of the situation, and find that I have only worked myself up to this pitch of excitement to learn that they are American volunteers copying the uniforms of two great nations and apparently despising their own.Now comes one of the most amusing sights I ever witnessed at any review in my life.At the head of the last battery of artillery is a gentleman, I should say who is connected, or at some time or other, bas been connected, with a circus He wears certainly the uniform of an officer, but he bestrides a highly trained performing horse.See hinfas I saw him, just as he is passing the Governor, give the signal for the performances of this animal to commenca! He literaliy dances by amid the loud plaudits of the admiring crowd, and self- satisfaction is written on every linea?ment of his face.Again and again does Children Cry for Pitc her's Castoria.he put his horse through this exercise, and again does the crowd vociferously applaud.I have never enjoyed a laugh so much.My sides ached with the exertion and tears coursed down my cheeks, My days of boyhood are vividly recalled, and I can fancy myself once more at Hengler\u2019s Circus, watching the performances of a magnificent-looking gentleman, in huge boots and buckskin breeches, mounted on the \u201cthorouzhbred mare Black Bess.\u201d Oh, poor, deluded officer! A parade is not a circus, as you would find if you went through any of these performances before a British General at home., Altogether, with the exception of a few mistakes, chiefly made by the bands and mounted officers, the parade was a very imposing one and the march past was excellent.The men are fine-looking young fellows, and are keen and enthusiastic in their attention to drill.The officers also know their work, and take a great interest in the conduct of their men while in the ranks, and America can well be proud of possessiug sucu a good auxiliary force.They are, Ishould say, a higher class of men than those who compose our militia at home, and I suppose that their officers would never be driven to the same expedients as the officers of a well-known London militia regiment (the Tower Hamlets) were some time ago\u2014that is, to face their rear ranks about while inspecting the backs of the front-rank men to escape having their pockets picked.Iread in one of the accounts of this review that \u201cthe Governor raised his hat in acknowledgment\u201d to the salute from the colours, which were dipped before him.Surely this must be wrong, as the colours are only dipped to the National flag, which is raised behind the General as a rule, and the General, whoever he may be, Goiernor or prince of the blood, salutes the colours of his country by raising his hat.So itis in our country, and, 1 suppose, in every other nation.Pan Mar, PRONUNCIATION MATCHES.The pronunciation match promises to be one of the diversions of the winter.It is even more exciting than the spelling match and rather more destructive to the lines of combatants.A match held in a city of learning was taken part inby professors, students, teachers and journalists, none of whom were able to pro- neunce more than three words correctly.The majority went down with decided rapidity.It seemed that the simplest words were the most difficult to pronounce, and such words as \u201cgaseous,\u201d \u201cobsolete,\u201d \u201cluxury.\u201d \u201cluxurious,\u201d and \u201callopathy\u201d found ready victims.There was much fun in the exercise and many contestants acknowledged that they had received valuable instruction.\u2014 Boston Journal.00 Horroway\u2019s .Pris\u2014Any dyspeptic sufferer aware ofthe purifying, regulating, and gently aperient powers of these Pilis, should permit no one to cloud his judgment or to warp his course.With a box of Holloway\u2019s Pills, and attention to its \u201cDirections,\u201d he may feel thoroughly satisfied that he can safely and effectually release himself from his miseries withont impairing his appetite or weakening his digestion.This most excellent medicine acts as a nervine and bodily tonic by aiding nutrition, and banishes a thousand annoying forms of nervous complaints.An occasional resort to Holloway\u2019s remedy will prove highly salutary to all persons, whether well or ill, whose digestion is slow or imperfect, a condition usually evidenced by weariness, langour, listlessness, and despondency.Standard Life ASSURANCE COMPANY.(Established 1825.)
