Quebec, Nov.15.\u2014The steamship Circas- sian, of the Allan line, passed this port at 2.30 this afternoon, for Montreal.She had been detained thirty-seven hours at Grosse Isle, where five of her passengers were landed and detained on account of illness, and was inspected here by Dr.Catellier, city health officer, who wired to Montreal that all was OK.Being questioned concerning the scare that certain sensational reports had caused in Montreal, that gentleman said: During the summer months when there was reall danger of infection we were prudent enough and did not hesitate to give the alarm, but at this season, and with a ship whose passengers came without exception from Norway and Sweden, and other northern countries, and especially without any symptoms of asiatic cholera, we really did not think it necessary to make a fuss.The Swedish family now at Grosse Isle have been carefully examined by Dr.Church.They are suffering from dysentery, but have none of the other symptoms of cholera.If I had not been personally convinced that ail was right I would not have allowed the ship to pass this port.The only thing that can explain the alarm is the fact of one child having died at sea.The recount in Matane givesl7 majority to L.F.Pinault, Liberal.The notice given by the Government that the commercial taxes must be paid within a week has created great dissastis- faction here and many merchants talk of taking their chances of a law suit.The DeBoucherville Government have cancelled the sales of public lands made to Mr.Mercier and certain friends and relatives.Iv will be remembered that Mr.-Mercier\u2019s intention waa to establish a village in the county of Terrebonne, which would later on have borne his name.At a meeting of the promoters of the Champlain monument scheme the secretary said that the subscription amounted to $16, - 000, about half the amount required to complete the work.The remainder will be subscribed shortly, The success of the undertaking is therefore assured.À man named Louis Dugal fell from Gar- neau\u2019s new building in Dalhousie street at one o'clock this afternoon.At that hour he was ascending a ladder behind another man to commence work.The man in front carried a heavy piece of birch and when at the top he let it fall and it struck Dugal on the head, knocking him over and he fell down two stories, When picked up he was unconscious.A priest and the ambulance were promptly summoned and the wounded man Was conveyed to Hotel Dieu hospital.\"He is not likely to recover.KINGSTON NEWS NOTES, Presentation to the Hospital Matron\u2014Action Against a License Inspector.[Special to The Herald.] Kingston, Nov.15.\u2014 Miss McMillan, who has been head matron of the General Hospital here for many years, will leave in a few days for Victoria, B.C., to take a similar position.Last evening the nurses presented her with a gold watch, Mrs.Kilhorn added # gold chain, and the governors gave a toilet case in plush, In the recent elections in the United States O.M.Fraser, son of the late John Fraser, was elected auditor of Walsh County, North Dakota.Mr.Fraser held office for four years before this, and previously was Chief Justice of Grafton, N.D James O'Neil, restaurant keeper, has issued a writ against license inspector Glid- den for trespass, assault, and malicious prosecution, claiming $1,000 damages.Last evening, in presence of a large number of guests, John Tandvin, of Prescott, was married to Miss Olive Perry, of this city.Presents were received from friends wr Napanee, i'rescott, Ogdensburg, Rochester, Watertown and Harrowsmith.James Parke, late of North Fredericks- burgh, and father of Irvine Parke, treasurer of Lennox County, died at Berkele, Cala, He was a life-long reformer, and was for many years a Councillor for the United Townships of North and South Fredericks.burgh, and after separation was elected Reeve of the township of North Fredericks.burgh, and served in the County Council, after which he retired into private life.He Was à son of Nathaniel Parke, son of Capt.Parke, oneof the U.E.loyalists who landed at Adolphustown.An accident occurred to-day on the K.and O.railway train.Eighteen cars were derailed at Jackson\u2019s Mills.Half of the cars rolled down an embankment, and the remainder scattered along the track.The vars are damaged, but no one was injured.The accident was caused by a twisted rail.TORONTO TOPICS.Beath of an Aged Resident\u2014The Young Conservatives Agitated\u2014Young Liberals Active._ Toronto, Nov.14.\u2014Mrs.Sarah Macken.218, widow of the late Walter Mackenzie, for many years county court clerk, died today, aged 82, Deceased was extensively acquainted in Canada, At the Young Conservative Club to-night 8 rather warm discussion took place, on the address recently delivered by Prest.Armstrong, several members claiming that it misrepresented the party.No decision was arrived at, the meeting breaking up in some confusion, > The young Liberals to-night passed a resolution urging on the Ontario Government, the passage of à law providing for personal registration at convenient season of all electors in cities.The second annual convention of the Class Leaders of Toronto was opened to-day in the Metropolitan Church, J.J.MacLaren presiding.It continues to-morrow._\u2014 Appeal Against Toronto Assessments, Toronto, Nov.15.\u2014The question of the lanket appeals, or appeals against the as- Seasments of two or three entire wards,came up before the judge to-day, it having been referred to him for decision by the city soli- titor.The judge decided the Blanket Appeals need not be heard, on the ground that an appeal must be specific in every case, which a general appeal covering a whole rd could not be.The wards included in ¢ Blanket appeal were Nos.one and six, the easternmost and westernmost, ss The Cheese Market.[Special to The Herald.)

ITEMS FROM CORNWALL.Funeral of Young Snetsinger\u2014A Small Fire \u2014A Jubilee Presentation.[8peciui to The Herald.| Cornwall, Nov.15.\u2014The funeral of che late James Arthur Snetsin er, second son of John G.Snetsinger, ex-M.P.for Stor- mont county, took place un Tuesday from his father's residence, Moulinette, to the family burying ground, and was the largest seen in that vicinity for years.Over 100 people from Cornwall were present.Young Snetsinger was engaged as traveller for a Cincinnati firm at the time of his death.What might have been a very serious blaze occurred on Second street en Monday evening.The outbuildings in the rear of the residence of S.Cline took fire in some mysterious way, and but for the timely arrival of the brigade a sesious fire would have taken place.This happened about 6 .m., and the next morning at 4 a.m.the rigade was called out by an alarm of fire in the same place.The fire was effectually put out this time, Between fifteen and twenty of the parishioners of St.Columban\u2019s Roman Catholic Church, amongst whom were Mayor O\u2019Cal- lagan, ex-Mayor M.McEwing, John Keat- ing and Peter St.Thomas, left last night for Trenton, Ont., where they will this evening present to Rev.C.B.Murray, the former pastor of Cornwall, with an illuminated address and silver chalice, the occasion being the twenty-fifth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood.The delegation will return home to-morrow.Slavin, the Cornwall murderer, who was on Oct.14 sentenced to be hanged for the murder of Policeman Davey, is as yet unconcerned about his fate, and refuses to receive any spiritual advice.He takes the matter very cooly and occasionally chats with his guards.He is closely guarded, two men being on watch during the night.It is rumored that his friends will present a largely signed petition to the Minister of Justice, praying for a commutation of the death sentence to life imprisonment.DR.BERGIN'S FINALLY FINAL.This is the Third Time he has Been Paid and Should be the Last.Ottawa, Nov.15.\u2014Your correspondent learns to-night that Surgeon General Ber- gin, M.P., has induced the Government to still further increase the amount of his allowance for the services he rendered as Surgeon General during the Northwest rebellion.In the first instance he got 81,861, two sessions ago an additional amount of $700 was granted him.The Minister of Militia, then Sir Adolph Caron, could not explain why he was awarded this amount.It was opposed by the Militia officers in the house, including Col.Tyrwhitt.It is now understood that an order-in-council has been passed by the Militia Department granting the doctor an additional amount of $1600.How this has been done is not yet very plain, but it appears to be correct, all the same.It is a somewhat peculiar coincidence that the $700 should have been given to the member for Cornwall at the time he was threatening to move an amendment to the Government report of the Tarte Committee on the Langevin scandal, and that now this $1600 should follow the strong course Dr.Bergin pursued on the quarantine arrangements of the Dominion very recently.Drowned While Duck Shooting.Fort Erie, Ont., Nov.15.\u2014This afternoon two boys named Christopher Williams and James Abitoy were out in the river shooting ducks, when Willlams was taken with a fit and fell in the water and was drowned.The body has not yet been recovered.Schooner Sunk by Collision.Amherstburg, Ont, Nov.15.\u2014The schooner Minnie Davis was sunk by collision, last night, about a mile and a half from Point Mouille light, with the schooner Hunter Savidage.The Davis was loaded with coal, and went down in 21 feet of water.Her crew all escaped.The sunken vessel is being stripped to-day of what is worth saving.The Davis was owned by Dunford and Alverson, Port Huron, and was valued at $2,500, Election Petition Dismissed.Belleville, Out., Nov.15.\u2014An election court was opened here this morning before Judges McMahon and Rose for the trial of the petition lodged against the return of W.B.Northrup, as M.P.for East Hastings.The petitioner had not evidence to offer and the case was dismissed without costs.The court was in session for but one minute, Kansas Still Uncertain.Topeka, Kas., Nov.15.\u2014 Every day brings some change in the reports on the complexion of the Kansas Legislature.Official returns so far indicate that the Populists have twenty-four Senators and the Republicans sixteen.The Republicans have sixty-three members of the House, barely a majority ; the Democrats two, and two districts areatie between Republicans and Populists.Should the Republicans win both ties, the Populists would lack one of having enough to elect a United States Senator on joint ballot, and two Democratic members would have the balance of power.Should complete returns show this to be the situation, there is a probability that the Republicans would vote with the two Democrats for a straight-out Democrat rather than see either a Populist or a Fusion Democrat elected.The name of Edward Carroll is suggested as the Democrat who would be most acceptable to the Republicans.Mrs.Lease says she is going to look up the Constitution, and if not barred will be a candidate for the senatorship herself.Increased Pay for Factory Hands.Providence, Nov.15.\u2014The Lonsdale company and the firm of B.B.and R.Knight notified their employes to-day of an increase in wages to go into effect December 5.The amount of the proposed increase is not given out.Lowell, Mass., Nov.15.\u2014At a meeting of the agents of Lowell cotton mills to-day it was decided to grant an increase not to exceed 7 per cent in the wages of the operatives.This is to take effect Dec.4.Not Equal to the British Tar.London, Nov.14.-\u2014The Sailors and Firemen\u2019s Union have issued a manifesto warning the public to avoid steamers that are manned by Lascars.The manifesto says recent disasters, notably the wrecks of the Peninsula and Oriental steamer, Bokhara, in the straights of Formosa, and the Anchor Line steamer, Roumania, off the coast of Portugal, have shown that Lascars are unable to stand rough weather.Anarchist Editors Arrested.Vienna, Nov.14.\u2014Herr Valenei, owner of the Anarchist paper Zukunft, and Herr Friedlander, editor of that paper, have been arrested for advocating in the columns of The Zu- kunft the use of dynamite against the enemies of the anarchist cause.Both men are intimately connected with the anarchist societies, not only in Europe but in the United States.A Little Fright Excusable.Paris, Nov, 14.\u2014In a village near Limoges to-night a dynamite bomb was exploded at the doorstep of a dwelling.Some damage was done to the

to the End\u2014No Confession of His Awful Crimes\u2014He Dies Without a Single Friend or Sympathiser, London, Nov.15.\u2014Thomas Neill, otherwise Cream, the murderer of Matilda Clover aud several other girls, paid the penalty of his crimes at 9 o'clock this morning.At three minutes to 9, Billington, accompanied by an assistant, who carried the Pinioning material, entered the cell of the condemned man, when he found the prison chaplain ministering to Neill.Without a moment's delay the hangman, while courteously asking the permission of the condemned man, deftly and rapidly pinioned him, passing a broad Delt around his waist and securing his elbows with two straps, tightly drawn and fastened behind.Straps were placed around the wrists and connected with the body belt in front.This rendered Neil absolutely incapable of moving his arms or hands.The condemned man did not utter a word during the process, which lasted barely a minute.The procession to the gallows was then formed.It was headed by the chief warden, who was followed by the chaplain, who, as he walked READ THE BURIAL SERVICE.Neill came next, guarded on each side.He walked firmly.A deadly pallor overspread his features, but his face showed no other trace of emotion.Close behind the prisoner walked the hangman.As the prisoner passed through the corridors toward the scaffold the tolling of the bell of St.Sepulchre, which has marked the last moments of so many oriminale, resounded through the prison.On arriving at the scaffold, the white cap, which had besn previously placed upon the head of the condemned man, was pulled down over his eyes.Billington, the hangman, then guided him oa to the trap-door beneath the cross beam, from which a rope DR.NEILL CREAM.with a hempen noose at the end was dangling.The white cap was then drawn so that it covered the chin, rendering it impossible for Nill to see the final preparations for hig death.These took only a few minutes, His legs were pinioned with a strap that was fastened below the knees.The nooze w».then dropped over his head, and adjusted around his neck, The ring was fixed behind the left ear.In another second the executioner stepped a pace to the rear, and pressed a lever and the trap fell.NEILL\u2019S BODY DROPPED FIVE FEET into the pit.Billington and the other persons who saw the execution concur in the opinion that death was instantaneous.There were convulsive twitchings of the muscles of the back and limbs which lasted a few seconds, and then the body hung motionless.Just prior to the cap being drawn over his face, Neill thanked the prison officials for their courtesy and kindness, The prison chaplain says that yesterday he found Neill exceedingly morose and unresponsive to his appeals to accept his fate and to think only of passing to a higher life.This morning the chaplain\u2019s endeavors to bring him to a happier frame of mind were to little purpose.Neill passed a restless night, dozing occasionally and then awaking with a start.A medical register was kept in his cell recording the hours he spent in sleep since his condemnation.It shows that he only slept a few hours each night.Last night he went to bed at nine o'clock, but did not have a single hour of unbroken sleep, Without being called, he arose at seven o'clock this morning, and washed and dressed, Then he sat down, AWAITING HIS LAST MEAL.He spoke hardly a word to his wardens.He partook sparingly of breakfast, which consisted of tea.bread and eggs.At eight o'clock the chaplain arrived and was conducted to the cell of the condemned man.Neill paid respectful attention to him, but throughout the three - quarters of an hour which the chaplain spent in exhorting him to \u2018repent of his sins and to prepare for the future world, Neill said scarcely a word, listening with seeming apathy.He was calm to the end.When the hangman and the prison authorities entered the cell Neill was seated on a chair at the foot of his pallet.He arose and advanced to meet them.Billington at once stepped forward, and Neill greeted him with a bow as he began to pinion him.Neill took off his spectacles and left them on a table in his cell.Mr.Metcalf, the under-sheriff, told the representative of the Associated Press that the calmness and self-possession displayed by Neill throughout rendered the work of execution easy.He seemed resigned to his fate.Neill told Mr.Metcalfe that the last two days had been the calmest, and perhaps the happiest of his life, HE DECLINED TO TAKE WINE OR SPIRITS to sustain him in the final ordeal.Billing- ton says Neill was notably cool.He required little directing, and placed himself in the exact position in the centre of the drop.Neill had doffed his prison clothes this morning and wore a black morning coat and brown trousers.During the reading of the service for the dead, on the way to the scaffold, Neill remained silent, not joining in like some condemned men going to the scaffold have been known to do.Billington stated that the exact length of the drop was five feet four inches.Between the time of his sentence and his execution Neill gained four pounds in weight, scaling yesterday 127 pounds.His especial build required a long drop.The body was cut down at ten o'clock.At noon a jury viewed the body, and returned a formal verdict in accordance with the medical testimony that death had been caused by a fracture of the neck.The body was then placed in a perforated coffin, into which a sack of quick-lime was poured.THE FEATURES SHOWED NO TRACE of the man\u2019s violent end.The only sign of what had caused death was a red line about the neck, made by the noose, and a deep impression below the ear where the ring had caught.The body was buried under the flagstones in the corridor through which Neill had passed a short time before on his way to the scaffold.The grave was not opened until after the execution, when a flagstone was lifted close to the spot where wife and child, was buried.The corridor of Newgate is, perhaps, the most ghastly spot in the world.Under the flagging of this corridor have been buried the bodies of a long succession of notable and obscure criminals.Initials or numbers cut in the walls indicate the more recent interments.Earlier inscriptions have been defaced by time.A crowd of about five hundred persens gathered outside of the prison.NOT THE FAINTEST TRACE OF SYMPATHY was shown for Neill.On the contrary such expressions as * They'll scon finish him now, and it will be a good job teo,\u201d was heard on every side.Probably no criminal was ever executed in London who had a less pitving mob awaiting his extinction.Neill died amid exccrations.When the black flag was run up on the flag-staff, just as the church clock ceased chiming nine, groans and half suppressed howlsalong the ranks of the peo- plo testified to the state of feeling.Neill made no confession.NEILL CREAM\u2019S LIFE.Thomas Neill \u201cCream\u201d was born in Glasgow in 1830, and was taken by his parents when he was very young to America, where às à young man he took adegree at college in Montreal.He afterwards went to London, where he attended lectures at St.Thomas\u2019 Hospital, with a view of becoming an M.R.C.S., but did not succeed.Subsequently he went to Edinburgh and took two degrees, by which he became a fully qualified medical man.Leaving England he went to Ontario, and after practising there for a short time he went to Chicago, where he practised.At the beginning of October, 1891, the prisoner came back to London, and proceeded to Anderton's hotel, where he stayed on the 6th and 7th of that month.From there he went to live at 103 Lambeth Palace road until the 6th of the following January, and afterwards went back to America, where he remained until the beginning of April.Returning then to London, he took up his residence again in Lambeth Palace road from April 9 to June 3, when he was arrested on the charge of blackmailing.SOME OF HIS VICTIMS.A peculiarity of the crimes wit® which Neill was charged was the apparent lack of motive.Apparently, he murdered simply for the sake of murder.On April 12 of that year a report was circulated in South London that two girls had been poisoned in a house in Stamford street, Lambeth.A police constable went to the house, where he found a girl named Alice Marsh, 21 years old, lying in the passage in her night dress.She was apparently in a dying state, suffering from the effects of poison.In another part of the house the policeman discovered another young girl, fully dressed, named Emma Shrivell.She also appeared to have been poisoned.The girls were taken to St.Thomas's Hospital, but the Marsh girl died on the way in a cab.The other girl died in great agony a short time after being admitted to the hospital.It was at first thought that they had been poisoned by eating canned salmon.At the Coroner's inquest, held the next day, the policeman who had found the girls testified that Emma Shrivell had told him on the way to the hospital that she and Alice Marsh had met a man known to them as \u201cFred,\u201d and that he had given them some globules, which they had swallowed.He afterwards accompanied them to their home, where he remained until 2 o'clock the next morning.A post-mortem examination revealed the fact that both girls had been given large quantities of strychnine.The police made.an investigation, but they discovered nothing that would lead to the detection of the murderer until a letter that had been received by Dr.Harper, alleging that the writer, who signed himself \u201cMurray,\u201d had evidence that he was willing to surrender upon the payment of £1,500 that Dr.Harper's son, who at that time was a medical student at St.Thomas's Hospital, had poisoned the girls.The writer of this letter was soon found to be Neill, and he wae arrested on the charge of attempted blackmail.The publicity given to the case led to further developments, and it became rumored that Matilda Clover, who died in October last, had met her death by foul means.Her body was disinterred, and an examination showed that she, too, had been killed with strychnine.THK EVIDENCE WAS AGAINST NEILL.At the Coroner\u2019s inquest an immense mass of evidence was taken, all of which pointed to Neill, who claimed to be a physician, as the poisoner.It was shown that he had been in the company of the girls, who were of the class who make their living on the streets in the vicinity of Westminster Bridge road, and that he had given them gelatine capsules, containing alwhite powder to cure various illnesses from which they were suffering.After they had taken these capsules they were soon seized with convulsions agd died in great agony.The fourth girl who is supposed to have met her death in this manner was named Ellen Donworth or Dudworth.As yet the police have not been able to.discover where she was buried, and it is supposed that was interred under a fictitious name.At the Clover inquest damaging testimony was given against Neill by a girl named Lou Harvey, who told how Neill had given her pills to cure an eruption on her forehead, and how, having a suspicion that ail was not right, she had made a pretence of swallowing them and then threw them away.Afterwards she left Neill and took a cab and went home.Some time after she met Neill in Piccadilly Circus, and the latter acted as though he was greatly surprised to see her.In the meantime it was proved that he had told one of his acquaintances that the Harvey girl had died in the cab the night he supposed she had taken his pills, thus proving that he expected the poison would have done its work before she could have reached home.tified at the inquest was Countess Russell, wife of Earl Russell, who said that during the progress of her suit against her husband for a judicial separation, she had received a letter stating that Karl Russell had poisoned the Clover girl.The German Social Democratic Party.Berlin, Nov.14.\u2014A preliminary meeting of the Social Democratic party was held in Concordia hall to-night.There was a large attendance, and much enthusiasm was shown.Thehall wasprofusely decorated with red flags.Herr Swinger was unanimously elected president of the party and Herr Gothel, a journalist of Bremen, vice-presi.dent.A program of business, orders of the day and other matters were arranged, and a committee was elected to inquire into the instructions received by delegates from the sections they represented and to classify them so that confusion might be avoided.A Slight Compensation to Dynamite Victims.Paris, Nov, 14,\u2014The Municipal council at a meeting to-day voted to pension the widows and children of the men who were killed last Tuesday by the explosion of a dynamite bomb in a police station in this city.To each wi ow will be given for life the sum of 600 francs annually, while the children each will receive 400 francs yearly until they attain their majority.The Stock of Wheat in Minneapolis.Minneapolis, Nov.14.\u2014The Northwestern Miller reports the stock of wheat in Minneapolis private elevators at 1,578,000 bushels, a gain of 128,000 bushels.The aggregate stock at Minneapolis, Superior and Duluth is 15,644,316 or 1,955,792 more than Mrs.Piercy,the murderess of her paramour\u2019a

Tories Say it Was Dull, Dreary, Delivered With Turgld Rapidity, and Was Merely a Kind of Fluent Gabble.\u2014\u2014 Toronto, Nov.15.\u2014Special cable to the Evening Telegram: London, Nov.15.\u2014Last evening Hon.Edward Blake was present at the banquet of the Anchor Society of Bristol and responded to the toast of the Government and the Liberal policy.Mr.Blake said his life, excepting when wrong had been done to Ireland, was in sympathy with the Liberal party.In public and private, no matter what trade measures he had advocated, his first object had been to achieve a solution of the Irish question.Any alliance between Ireland and England must be cordial, and that cordiality must be emphasized by attention to the legitimate aim of the Irish party.England\u2019s difference with the United States had largely been the result of the Irish question, and the same might be said of Canada.In the States this feeling had been modified on account of the election of the Liberals in England.\u201cIt would not do,\u201d Mr.Blake went on, \u2018\u2018to have no regard for the monstrous absurdity of having a country\u2019s local laws interpreted by another community.A military force was kept in the country under the name of police.The minority in respect of schools should be efficiently pro tected.He spoke as a Protestant with profound respect for the rights of minorities.The Ulstermen, he was convinced, would in time abandon their attitude.The Bristol Mercury says: *\u2018Mr.Blake delivered a calm, unimpassioned, powerful and well reasoned speech on the problem of Home Rule.\u201d The Times and Mirror of the same town says: \u201cMr.Blake is the Canadian gentleman who got himself elected as the Nationalist member for an obscure Irish coustituency.His speech was dull, dreary, delivered with turgid rapidity, and at times it was scarcely possible to follow.This kind of fluent gabble is the result of born conceit, and of all conceited individuals, a conceited Irishman is the most insufferable.Mr.Blake spoke with no authority, and even the friends of his cause could have obtained little instruction from his remarks,\u201d CRITICISM ON MR.BLAKE.He Has Not Yet Received His Political Faith.London, Nov.14.\u2014The return to Great Britain of Mr.Edward Blake has been the signal for a general newspaper discussion of the Canadian members line of action since he left these shores.The Star says Mr.Blake's arrival once more marks the final and lasting severance of connection with Canada\u2019s affairs and politics.There is not in history another instance of such self-sacrifice as Mr, Blake has gone through.Nothing but a stern sense of duty has impelled this eminent man to give up a great part of his life to the cause of Irish home rule.At a dinner at the Liverpool Reform Club, on Friday, Mr.Blake said that while Canadians were deeply attached to their political differences they were agreed upon some things.One of those was the advisability of adopting a measure of Home Rule for Ireland.A combined local Home Rule bill was now being prepared.He trusted that Mr.Justin McCarthy and his friends would have assigned to them a voice in the deliberations of the party.The Irish people locked forward to a glorious future for the Liberal party.Commenting on this speech, the Liverpool Courier says Mr.Blake has not yet received his political creed, and that it is not, therefore, to be wondered at that he has not thrown any new light on the home rule question.As a result of his trans-Atlantic experience, Mr.Blake attaches too much importance to methods which have no bearing whatever on political perplexities here, except to lead people astray.All that can be said of Mr.Blake\u2019s speeches is that, putting aside their author\u2019s ignorance on some points, they are more calculated to provoke despair than confidence in the Gladstone camp.Mr.Blake, it is complained, has practically pointed out Imperial federation as being for the time a solution of the home rule problem.This view of the situation home rulers think ridiculous.KNIGHTS OF LABOR IN SESSION, Sixteenth Annual Meeting of the General Assembly.St.Louis, Nov.15.\u2014After losing a couple of hours this morning in searching fora suitable place to hold their convention in, the Knights of Labor procured desirable quarters in Walla Walla Hall, and about noon the 16th Annual Meeting of the General Assembly went into session.The convention was called to order by Master Workman T.V.Powderly, and the Committee on Credentials presented their report.The co-sideration of this report consumed all the morning session.GROVER CLEVELAND WAS PRESENT, Annual Banquet of the New York Chamber of Commerce.New York, Nov.15.\u2014The annual dinner of the Chamber of Commerce was held at Delmonico\u2019s to-night.It was in the line of banquets the last of the first quarter of the chamber\u2019s second century.In the famous gold and white room, resplendent with light and color, laden with the perfume of flowers and filled with music, were many of the most influential representatives of the social, political, educational and mercantile interests of the country.Rare viands, ancient vintages, and sparkling oratory in judicious admixture comprised the program?Mr.Cleveland was present.Mr.Depew was also there, and gracefully congratulated the President-elect instead of offering him that promised aate-election consolation.In the absence of President Charles Smith, vice-president, Alexander E.Orr, presided.Mr.Cleveland sat upon his right, and secretary of the treasury, Charles Foster, upon his left.The cabinet was further represented by attorney-general, William H.H.Miller.The Fire Record.St.Paul, Nov.15.\u2014The lost in the St.Paul

Nov.15.\u2014The water will be let out of the Rideau canal next week, In two weeks Captain Stewart, of the Capital Lacrosse Club, will have te go to Toronto to stand his trial for an assault alleged to have been committed by him in a match against the Toronto Lacronse Club last summer, The Internal Economy Committee of the House of Commons has ratified the action of the Speaker in suspending R.Brewer, accountant, and George Bolton, assistant.accountant, of the House.There are good grounds for believing that unless some new light be thrown on the case the suspension of both officers is final.In the meantime Mr.Hartney will act as accountant and Mr.Bowles as his assistant, until such times as the matter is fully ine ycotigated.The discrepanoy has been reduced from $2,600 to $2,300.There are vouchers for about one half the amount, namely $1100 or so, which Mn Brewer is said to have accepted for disbursement, but which the Au itor-General refused to accept as proper security.These vouchers, it is said, are in the wa of LO.U's principally from members o Parliament and one or two others on the vay list of the House of Commons.In other words, Mr.Brewer accommodated some of the members by permitting them to overdraw their sessional indemnity.That was said to be known among the members of the House.Both suspended officers were in the London Guarantee company.The cost of the guarantees was defrayed out of their own salaries.Mr.Brewer is at present visiting friends in the United States, and Mr, Bolton is said to be up the Ottawa river.The latter stated while here on Saturday that whatever shortages he was responsible for must have been caused through mistakes in giving change, or somes thing of that kind in the course of business, There was no other way to account for it.He was willing to make it good.As to the portion for which Mr.Brewer is directly responsible, he, as already said, holds certain vouchers, or at any rate has offered certain vouchers, which were not accepted by the auditor.The story published that Mr.Bolton's friends had paid his part is denied, and so far, Mn Brewer\u2019s friends have not done so.The case of Magee vs.The Queen came ap before Judge Burbridge to-day, with essrs.Dalton, McCarthy, Q.C., and A.J, Christie, Q.C., for the plaintiffs, and Chris, Robinson, and O'Connor, Hegg & Balderson for the Crown.The action is a very inte« resting as well as important one, Mr.Magee represents the heirs of the Sparks\u2019 estate, who claim a couple of hundred thousands dollars worth of land along the Rideau canal in the city.The claim is thas when the Rideau canal was constructed, 50 years ago, Nicholas Sparks gave the land free on condition that it be all used for canal purposes.Part of it is alle not to Te so used.The plaintiffs ei that they get back the land.It is said that the Government by deed gave back some lands not actually used for canal pur poses to the late Mr.Nicholas Sparks, Bus contrary to the advice of Mr, Robert Harvey, then acting for the family, this deed was not registered and has since been lost.This morning Mr.C, A Biggar, D.L 8, was examined as to extent of the property, and Captain Wise, superintendent of canals, as to the uses to which the property had been put.Captain Wise, in his examination, said that although certain of the lands were used by the Government for other purposes, the whole property was in his opinion required for the canal purposes for which it was deeded.IRISH NATIONAL FEDERATION.A Crowded and Harmonious Meeting Shows Re-establishment of Unity.Dublin, Nov.15.\u2014A growded National Federation meeting was held here to-day.A majority of the McCarthyite members of the House of Commons were present.The meeting adopted resolutions favoring he immediate introduction and steady prosecn.tion of the Home Rule bill and denouncing Lord Salisbury\u2019sand Mr.Balfour\u2019s* pudent attempts to discredit the Evicted Tenant Commission before its investigations were well begun, which showed that the unionists feared the result of the inquiry.\u201d Resolutions in favor of a Liberal measure of amnesty, and continued support of the ciaims of evicted tenants were also passed, T.P.O'Connor, in the course of an address to the meeting, said that the grand convention before which he spoke proved tha.unity of the country was fairly estaba lished.He declared that the attitude of the McCarthyite members towards the Liberals were perfectly fair and clear, and that the Liberals were bound to give to Ireland a Parliament worthy the acceptance of the Irish, who, in return, would assist in passing great measures of English reform.Michael Davitt, in addressing the meeting, said that Lord Salisbury and his allieg were relying for support of their cause om the spirit of religious bigotry.To-Day\u2019s Amusements, ACADENY-\u201cPuritania,\u2019 8 p.m, THEATRE ROYAL\u2014Weber and Fields Specialty Company,

rocky and serf beaten shores .ot Tragabigzanda, better known as Cape Ann, there used to reside P in Beverly, a .certain worshipper of the muses, who was also an ardent wooer of the Goddess Caissa, This gentleman frequently came to the editor's home on a Wednesday afternoon and together they courted the fabied goddess until the **wee sma\u2019 hours.\u201d On one occasion during a very interesting game, when we had placed n bishop where it could be captured by a little insignificant pawn, without any apparent compensation for the logs, it caused our \u2018musical friend considerable study, as he, to use a familiar expression, \u2018\u201chad been there before,\u201d and somewhat mistrusted- voluntary contributions of this nature.Finally, however, after studying the position for a considerably long time, he * quietly removed his pipe with his left hand, removed our bishop with his right, and without as much as a childlike smile dropped the iece in the spittoon and spat upon the oard !\u2014Tableau.This same M.G.on an occasion when vigiting the Boston Chess club was invited to & game by old Mr.\u2014\u2014 whe long since had mourned the loss of all capillary appendages.During the progress of the game our friend had the opportunity of capturing 8 knight seemingly for nothing.This he did forthwith, and with the remark ; ¢ ] think I will take that bald-headed.\u201d Judge of his surprise when old Mr.\u2014, with one aweep of his arin cleared the table and sent the men rattling over the floor, then grose with the remark : «It ig my usual custom to play chess with gentlemen

our friend to ex- lain that the phrase to * take a man bald.eaded\u201d was thought to have originated in the Quaker City and found its way into the | there are quite amusing.classic shades of Boston through the medium of Mr.N\u2014, the little gentleman who sojourned at the Hub fqr a season, and made it so lively for the chess players there.Mr.Steinitz tells a good true story of the late Louis Paulsen, so says the Baltimore Sunday News.During the Baden Chess Congress in 1890 that cminent player, {whose name the champion unites with those of Anderson and Morphy as calling up the the recollection of the very soul of chess history and nobleness among the past masters) of whose absentmindedness many touchy little narratives have been woven, becume dissatistfied with his lodgings and set oul in company with Mipekwitz and Steinitz on a voyage of discovery for new quarters.After investigating many a \u201cHier ist cin Zimmer, etc.,\u201d without results, the trio at length found something suitable in rooms and Herr Paulsen.who was à man of few words, agreed to engage them for a fortnight, under the modest condition that he should be supplied with a cup of cotiee at 6 o\u2019clock every morning, The bargain was struck, but the next day Paulsen walked up to Steinitz in the Congress hall and exclaimed with some feeling, \u201cWhy have you two played such a trick on me ¥\u2019 Steinitz was astonished, but explanations revealed the fact that the two masters had engaged a room for Paulsen in the very house which he had just left, he failing to recognize i; as they had entered by a oor which he had not previously used.The point of the joke lay in the circumstance that poor Paulsen failed to reflect that he could not have been the subject of a practical joke, as neither of his friends (as he was previously aware) knew the house until Herr Paulsen made his second visit to it along with them !\u201d ) = ;( On Thursday of last week we stepped into the rooms of the Boston Chess club for a few minutes, and during our stay we asked if they were to have a visit from Lasker.They informed us that Lasker\u2019s prices were too high.They say he charges three times as much as Steinitz, and they consider Stein- itz three times as good.Mr.Pillsbury, of the Boston club is distinguishing himself at blindfold play.Henow conducts six games simultaneously without sight of the board, and we believe he intends soon to try eight.Mr.J.F.Barry the game editor of the American Chess Monthly has been seriously ill, but we are pleased to note is now rapidly being restored to health, A few days since we asked a Montreal gentleman if he played chess, and this was his reply: \u2018Chess, let me sce, that is the game Mr.Morphy invented, isn\u2019t it?\u201d This put an idea into our head\u2014said idea we shall give to the public at an early date.They have lively times at the rooms of the Montreal Chess Club between four and six o'clock on Saturday afternoons.nearly all of the tables are occupied, and some of the running remarks to be heard Only last Saturday we heard one gentleman ask another: \u201cCan you tell me in what respect the great chess victories now-a-days resemble the fur sealers?\u201d \u201cYes,\u201d says No.2, \u201cthey nearly all go to Alaska,\u201d The New York Tribune says: \u201cThe Havane Chess club, with its usual gene- roeity, is meizing the opportunity of Herr Lasker's visit to this country for an epdeavor tg arrange a match between the celebrated young European master aud Mr.Steinitz.In an oificial letter received by the latter from the hono- arr secretary of the Havana Chess club, Sencr Machado, a sum of $500 expenses, besides free return passage, is offered for cach player, and it is stated that Mr, Steinitz's stakes are already provided, There is, bowver, no likelihood of such & match taking place.Herr Lasker has already in a moderate manner, publicly declared that he docs not intend to com- r for the championship of the world in a match with Mr.Steinitz for the pré t.This handsome compliment was reeipreeated by Mr.Stcinitz in the Tri- Lune oi September 25, with the declar- atiecu, that on account of his litcrary engsgements in reference to Part II of \u201cThe Modern Chess Instructor,\u201d he in- t nis at least to take rest from much riay for some time to come, if not altogether to retire from public compe- titicy £.pce completing his engagement at \u201cThe Manhattan,\u201d Mr.Lasker has been tne guest of the Brooklyn Chess club, where he has been giving some remark- at.¢ exhibitions of simultancous play.Next week we shall have him here in MoLireal, and we trust our chess players will do all in their power to make bis visit a very pleasant ome, so that ke may carry back to Europe

the Asiatic.The smile which is childlike and bland of th accomplished Chinese often masks a profundity of cunning that the Cau- caseian eannot rival.Even the mild Hindoo has a faculty for fraud that

pays the price of the genuine article, but ie supplied with a villainous comp«und of native concoction.The dealer knows the value of brands.He lays in a stork of genuine bottles aud never disturbs labels or capsules.by the skilful application of the blovw- pipe he drills a small hole in the bot- tem, draws off the genuine liquid, re- piace: it with his poisonous stuff, closes up the hole 60

clsewhe roe.Another ingenious device of the mild Hindoo is tu driil a hole in the thick- ess of & rupee and then scrape out the silver from the inside, leaving only a sort of shell, without damaginz the impression of the rim.Lead is then poured gently in, mixed with some alloy.which gives the goquired ring, and the hole is then closed.Only a keen and experienced eye can detect the im- vceture.The silver which is thus ab- etracted will be worth nearly & shil- .ling, and the manipulator has still the rupee to spend.But the operation may occupy him the greater part of a week, during which time he might have earned two rupees by honest work.In iact, it may be said thay if all the ingenuity and talent which are applied to ewindles were directed to legitimate ends, the rewards would be both greater and more con- tippous than in the precarious and haz.aidous harvest of fraud.A Hint for the Men.The cutaway frock coat muy be worn at any time during the day, wud is really the moat useful

Have To Be Made Over.INTER'S chill in th® air brings out the furs and winter garments from their packing boxes, and a general odor of camphor and hideous moth balls fills the room.After a careful inspection I fear it will be found that the fur will do to be used again, but that the form of the garment is decidedly passe, Furs of all kinds are always in fashion, although certain varieties have runs of popularity, like mink last year and Persian lamb the year before, but it is always in good form to wear any handsome fur.Sable is always of extreme elegance.Ermine and swansdown, which answer the same purpose as fur, have been for a long \u2018time completely left out of fashionable dressing, but, they are bothrevived this year for evening wraps and costumes.Sealskin is used as lavishly as if the price had not increased of late, and it is handled with a skill never shown before in the gracefulness of the cut and trimming.Long and full capes of seal are considered very chic.They reach to the knees, are handsomely lined with brocade, and have either monk.hoods or pleated pelerines on the shoulders.These pelerines are short capes with the sealskin pleated as if it were cloth, giving a becoming effect around the neck.Long mantles are the distinctive feature of this winter.It has been many years since long cloaks of such rich materials with such prodigal use of fur and passementerie for trimming have been seen.Matelasse cloth in black and colors is used again and black velvet and plush are once more embroidered and made into cloaks reaching to the bottom of the skirt or to the kuees.A rich cloak imported trom London is of a dark matelesse cloth with embroidered shoulder cape of velvet and velvet sleeves, abundantly trimmed with minx tails.The body of the coat is laid in full box pleats under the velvet pelerine.Another handsome model is of heaviest black silk velvet, the front and sides hanging straight quite to the knees and the back fitted in and cut quite short.The back is trimmed with three long bands of handsome jet, ending in a jetted fringe, and the whole cloak is bordered with black fox fur, The novelty of the garment is a pointed collar- ette of bright crimson velvet, which forms a pieated cape on the shoulders, and a long point in front, with a fur collar band and an inner collar of crimson velvet.A short cape, reaching below the waist, is of black plush gathered full around the shoulders with a short shoulder cape of the 2ame, fitted smoothly except for a sudden fulness in the middle of the back.This is brimmed around with marabout feathers and has a short neck boa of feathers with bows m the back.NEW DESIGN FOR A SEALSKIN JACKET.A new design for a sealskin jacket is a long fitted coat with waiscoat \u2018of seal and long revers reaching from the neck kAimost to the bottom of the coat, Where are ploced three immense seal fovered buttons.Large cavaller cuffs finish \u20ac coat sleeves.These cavalier cuffs are tcen on many new coats and jackets and \u2018re very becoming to the hand and wrist, Jackets always hold their own and will © worn by many, both young and old, in Ipite of the decided fashion for mantles, | but they are ruinous for bodices and velvet sleeves, A new jacket called the \u201cPrincess May\u201d is of English design, and is an autumn coat of light colored cloth, partly fitted and rather long, with a long, pointed waistcoat of handsome contrasting material, sometimes of brocade, sometimes braided.Large cufls and pointed pockets, flaps and a coat collar with small collar inside complete teis very \u2018\u201c\u2018dressy\u201d little garment.A PRETTY COSTUME.A pretty model for a street, or house costume consists of two short square jackets over a full underbody of soft silk with a wide belt of silk.The under jacket, which shows beneath the upper, is of richly embroidered velvet or cloth, often done in bright silks or made of a bit of han dsome brocade or Chinese embroidery.The top Jacket is perfectly untrimmed, unless edged with a narrow gold braid, and turns back on the shoulders with full revers which narrow to the edge of the jacket.The trimming of the skirt is original.Four bands of sable or mink are arranged, as the cut shows.The first band is on the edge, two others close together in the centre and the fourth at an equal distance with the bottom band.Princesse dresses are made in new and graceful designs.One 1s à princesse robe of bengaline, fitting the figure easily, and having a Watteau train.The top of the bodice is of white guipure turned back in revers from a plastron of guipure.A twisted roll of velvet outlines the bust and forms a knot in front.The sleeves are full puffs, ending at the elbow with a velvet twist.These Princesse dresses are the incarnation of grace on a slender and graceful figure, but for a stout person they would be utter ruin to all lines of elegance.The skirts are much more trimmed than during the summer.All have foot trimming, and on many new dresses the bands of fur or velvet reach half way up the skirt.Embroidered panels are set in many skirts, and Spanish flounces are often seen.prettily trimmed FAVORITE SHADES IN MILLINERY.In millinery the favorite shades are a purplish rose, dahlia and mauve combined with green of all shades.The imported French hats bear all sorts of picturesque names, such as \u201cLe Gendarme de la Premiere Republique,\u201d which is of felt, the brim bent up in the back, a border of feathers all around and on the crown a bnnch of large feathers and white satin rosettes.This is a very chic affair.The \u2018Recamier\u201d is a half large hat of changeable green and silver velvet with black feathers held with à wreath of velvet roses.The Marie Antoinette is a large hat of black velvet, lined with bright yellow velvet.The feathers are placed high and fall in both directions, held by a diamond buckle, and velvet strings tie at the side.A little Empire hat of changeable violet and lilac velvet is made off shirred puffs, with a bouquet of small black plumes and an aigrette of amethysts and diamonds, with velvet strings.Ths Puritan is a quaint little bonnet made of a band of embroidered velvet laid flat on the head, with a bunch of feathers toward the front, and ribbon strings.\u2018\u2018 Beefeater\u201d shapes of colored felt with rolled brims covered with Persian lambs\u2019 wool, and \u201cdonkey ear\u201d bows of lambs\u2019 wool with quills on\" the side, are extremely dashing for winter wear.COOKING IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, A Movement on Foot to Have It Taught\u2014A Public Meeting to Be Held.The managers of the Montreal School of Cookery, with the sanction of the Protestant Commissioners of Education, invite the presence of all parents of children attending the \u201cPublic Schools\u201d to a meeting which will be held in the High School assembly hall, on Saturday, November 19, at 3 o\u2019clock.This meeting is convened in order that the committee may have an opportunity of explaining the scheme of teaching useful household cookery in the Public Schools as is done in England and in the Unitea Statos, ABOUT FLOWERS.A Visit To the Botanical Gardens\u2014Flowers in the Home, WAS lamenting the other day that all the lovely flowers were gone from Montreal's beautiful mountain.The last time I was there I had gathered some of our graceful maple leaves, with their glowing tints of brilliant red, olive, brown and green, pressed and waxed them, and they are now on their way to friends, some across the Atlantic, and sailing on the Pacific ocean to Southern climes.I was lamenting the other day that all the lovely flowers were gone from Montreal\u2019s beautiful mountain.The last time I was there I had gathered some of our graceful maple leaves, with their glowing tints of brilliant red, olive, brewn and green, pressed and waxed them.and they are now on their way to friends, some across the Atlantic, and others sailing on the Pacific occan to Southern climes.On a previous visit I had unrooted some ferns, planted them, and now hope they will live through the winter.It seems to me wonderful that almost tro- pica! plants survive through so many cold months and \u201cbloom again in the erring; but I suppose the snow keeps my \u201cfriends\u201d warm, for flowers are, in deed.friends to me.Judge of my surprise when some one came to me the other day and said: \u201cGet on your bon- pet and come and see a new discovery I have made.I am going to show you some beautiful flowers on the side of the mountain.\u201d I felt a little incredulous, a+ we had bad a heavy +fall of sUGW.We walked up Cote des Neiges road.\u201cNow, this is the discovery,\u201d said my ! /eLÉ as we came to a gate on which was painted, \u201cMontreal Botanical Gardens.\u201d Afterwards I learned that these b rei ; 3\u20acY are convenient and \u2018\u2019amart\u201d always, A Co.lege.I cannot eay what the grounds are like in summer, but the view from thero is very fine.There are several hot Licuses containing rare plants, orchids sud ferns.Tbe chrysanthemums (the nationap flower of Japan) were going to be exhibited in the Windsor Hall, and very beautiful they are, and well deserved the first prizes which Mr.Copland got for them.What a number of diflcrent varieties there are now! The whi ones are very beautiful, aud the variegated ones are very eccentric.Some of them remind me of sea anemones, which may truly be called \u201cFlowers of the Ocean,\u201d and which are seen to such perfection at the Brighton Aquarium.We eaw a very fine eucalyptus, with its own peculiar shade of green leaves; it grewa very quickly, and it is said it wall keep away fever.A very large pa'm-like plant was in one of the houses in the centre of which was a very large flower or fruit, \u201cjust like a cauliflower with kidneys,\u201d as my friend said; it did look peculiar.Afterwards we heard it* was à sago plant.The gardens are well worth a visit, if only to see this extraordinary plant.Mauy young people, who are so fond of Lotanizing in the summer, would find it a great boon to be able to continue their studies in the winter, and Mr.Cepiand, 1 feel eure, would be willing to give any help or information about the plants to those who love to study cue of the kindest gifts our Heavenly Father has given His children\u2014ilowers to brighten our lives.The scent of a flewer often brings back many memories, and how much pleasure can be given by the gift of a very simple flower.It is most refreshing in this winter climate te go into a room, even poorly \u2018ur- nicked, and find a stand of flowers; it gives an air of refinement to the place.Hyacinths in glasses are most attractive and interesting to watch growing.Tkis is the time to put them in glasses, Whbiel can be bought very cheap.Place th bulbs in the water and put them in a dark place till they begin to sprout.Keep them in the sun, and the buds will soon appear, and flowers and scent will delight the grower.Auother very interesting experiment is to cui the top off carrots or beet roots, stand them in saucers of water, and keep them in the dark for a few days.The carrot will soon put out some feathery fronds, and the beet root some bright colored leaves, and the little pleuts will be a source of pleasure for eevelal weeks.A pot of snow drops, and aucther of crocuses might bs planted; these plants always scem inseparable.In time the little fragile, graceful snowdrop will appear, as well as the crocus.I have some pressed flannel daisics from \u201cSunny New South Wales,\u201d They arc about the size of a large heartsease.The petals look as if made of white i,annel, with pale green tips: the centre locks like creamy velvet.It is a pretty sight to spe the ground covered with them.The leaves resemble a plant called \u201csilver leaf;\u201d the bushes are about 2 {eet high, with very straight stalks, and fthe flowers look just like white stars.'Theyalso remind me of the eigelweiss, which grows in Switzerland, but \u2018the daisies are much larger, but they have both the same flannely appear- auce.I am expecting some seeds from our eister colony, and hope to see them soon blooming in the \u201cMontreal! Botani- ca! Gardens.\u201d GEORGINE.| SAW ESAU.BY THOMAS PAYNE.During my first winter vacation at Cambridge I spent a few weeks with ay college friend, Grantham, at Tal- Œury Hall in Wiltshire.There was always something going on at Talbury.Balls and carpet dances and dinner par- tiess, and what I enjoyed most of all, a series of private theatricals, Our hostess, a lady of the stricteat propriety, was ably assisted in the task of keeping us young people in order by Mss Wainwright, the governess, a personage who merits especial deseription.She was neither young nor good looking though as certainly as she had been at one time the first, she had also heen the second.A pair of dark eyes still remained to her, a liberal allowance of blue black hair, and a musical hough rather resolute voice; but her well featured face had grown prematurely sharp and her check bones were too prominent.She looked always thoughtful and sometimes sad, but her spirit was 'ndom- itable, and whenever anything that involved toil and trouble was to be dome, .she was the woman to do it.Without being priggish, she was the very \u2018ncar- nation of respectability, and possessed the entire confidence of both host and hostess, Her age was such as, while it did not cut her off from the sympathy with the enjoyments of the young, al- liedher with the more mature, so that she won the esteem of both parties.She dil not act with us, and yet it seemed though we could not have acted without her, so ready and welcome was her Lelp in a thousand ways.In particu- la: ehe took upon herself the thankless task of prompter, and was the only person whom the manager had no reason to vituperate, If there was a fault in Miss Wainwright, it seemed to me that it was in her momewhat too great \u2018respect for persons;\u201d she was more strenuous to please the richer and more influential members of the company than the others; and though perfectly polite to a certain undergraduate who was aotor- iously without expectations, she did not treat him with the same deference she showed \u2018to certain sprigs of nobility, and other \u201cgilt youths\u201d who were of the party.This opinion I kept secret, and even reproached myself for entertaining it; but I did Lear that, while very indulgent to her young charges, the ser- vaut- stood in dread of her.A circumstance occurred, however, before I left Ta'lury, which caused her to be \u2018much more gracious in her manners to me, though unfortunately it begot in me just a little suspicion of this paragon\u2019s character.I will say at once that was ao mistaken suspicion, but it will be acknowledged that I really had sume ,zround for it.Before the festivities terminated at the hall & servants\u2019 ball was given, at which, as is usual, for the first hour or two, the host and hostess, and such of their guests as wished to do so, were present.When these had retived, except ce oy two of the young geutlemen to whom everything in the nature of a lark was delightful, I thought it strange that Miss Wainwright should still -emain with the servants.The housekceper was there to kcep order, which, indecd, was perfectiy well maintained )though after the withdrawal lof the higher authorities \u2018the dancing grew a little more lively(: her presence, therefore, secmed ag superfluous as it was undesired.However, at last she went, and in a \u2018ew minutes afterwards I retired also.As I passed by the housckeeper\u2019s room on my way upstairs I heard a certain sibilant noise which aroused my curiosity, and looking through the half-closed door beheld by ithe firelight, for there was no candle in the room, the governess kissing the footman.I would not take a young woman's character away even for an instant, and therefore repeat that it turned out there was mothing wrong in this incident, but even to the liberality of mind in such matters which one possesses at 19, it scemed a little wrong.1f the performance had taken place as it were the other way, and the footman gardens Are in connection with McGill J bad been $he active agent and the gover Less the passive, it would have been rather queer; hut that the lady should have ftaken the inmitative\u2014and & good deal of it\u2014and the gentleman have accepted her caresses with a countenance of stolid, not to say morose, indifference Was a circumetance that utterly confounded me.Moreover, though cousider- ably yourger than Miss Wainwright, he wae a very ill-looking fellow.I roughed bather significantly to let them know that their proceedings were a little 1ash and went my way, not I fear without a snigger.It did seem strange that that pink bf respectability should have so miisconducted herself, and with such a thankless and unappreciating hound.If I had been a little older, the quee- tion would doubtless have arisen as to my own future conduct in the matter; war it right that I should cogceal euch an offense against proprioty, and allow my hostess to continue to repose her confidence in Miss Wainwright ss ap educator of youth?Lut at 19 one {Linbe little of these things, and a great deai of the enormity of \u201csneaking,\u201d and \u201ctelling tales out of school.\u201d Mora- over, she had bad her warning\u2014she could not have misconstrued that cough of mine\u2014and would perhaps mend her ways, or at all events be morecautious for the future.Little did I know what my silence was to cost, but silent I remained.When I joned the breakfast party next morning, I could ng forbear glancing at Mies Wainwright.She was in the act of pouring out the tea and I uoticed that her band trembled and that she refrained from giving me her usual Lather patronizing bow; but her color altered Lot one whit and sume question our hostess put to her she at once answered in her customary tones.My belief is that she made her plans for either silence or betrayal.In tlc latter case sho would probably have denied cverything that could not be set down to the uncertain- ity of firelight and would without Joubt have had her believers.Iler confederate, however, if I may so designate so unwilling a recipient of affection, Tohn Rose, the footman, was not gifted with tue eame presence of mind.As he aand- cd me the kidneys he replied to the twinkle in my eyes with & clumsy flush and a scowl that would have suited a murderer.Titania, I knew, had allen in love with a jackass; but what wagie potion, thought I to myself, could ever lave made a woman of education fall in love with a bulldog?He was really very like one; had the neck and she nose and the general morose appearance of that animal, and to my mind was only fit to be hung, Still, \u201ckissing goes by favor\u201d was a proverb that I remembers ed in connection with a cow and its proprietress, and it was not for me to quarrel with anybody's favor.It would have been very ungrateful of me to have quarrelled with Miss Wainwright, for from that date her behavior to me became most polite, not to say cringing.Not a word passed between us as to the little occurrence I had a chance %o witness in the housekeeper\u2019s room, \u2018but her conciliating smile, and th» footman\u2019s scowl, betrayed the iact that they knew \u2018that I knew all about it, whenever we met.It reminded me, though I had mot been actually visible to them, of those imperishable iines; I saw Esau kissing Kate, And the fact is we all three saw: For I saw Esau, he sawme, And ghe saw I saw Esau, To be continued.BIRTH.BRIMS\u2014At 434 St.Dominique street, 13th instant, Mrs.J.C.Brims, of a daughter.MARRIAGES.MEEHAN-DUNPHY\u2014At Montreal, on Nov.11, by Rêv.L.Cousineau, John Mechan to Margaret Dunphy.both of this city, MELVIN-WARNER\u2014At Halifax, N.S.,Nov.8, by the Rev.J.L.Dawson, B.A., Arthur L.Melvin to Bessie, eldest daughter of the late Thos.Warner.McKINNON-McDONALD\u2014At St.Jose Antigonish, N.S., on Nov, 3, by Rev.Fraser, P.P., Dougald McKinnon, Lismore, to Jessie McDonald, ames River, MILLS-SPINDLO\u2014At St.John, N.B., on Nov.2, by the Rev.D.W.Morison, B.A., Robt, Mills, Ornrstown, to Mary Dougall, daughter of Mr, William Spindlo, Ormstown.DEATHS.BUTLER\u2014At Halifax, N.S,, on November 8, Mary Ann,second daughter of the late Edward utler., BUSTEED\u2014At Bordeaux, Restigouche, Que.on the 6th inst, Daniel S.Bustced, agod 74 years.HALSTEAD-At the residence of her father,99 Marlborough avenue, Toronto.Ontario, on Saturday, November 12th, Nellie Josephine, only daughter of G.W.Halstead, in her 18th year.Intermentat Portland, Maine.MARACLE\u2014At Tyendinaga Reserve, Ont., on Nov.6, Abraham Maracle, aged 62 years.PORTER\u2014At Elginburg, Ont., on November 3, Margaret Porter, aged years, PRIESTMAN\u2014At Hamilton, on Wednesday, Nov.9, James Priestman.GIBLIN\u2014In this city, on the 14th inst, Annie Elizabeth, aged 3 years and 6 months, daughter of Patrick Giblin.The funeral will take place from No.23 Dowd street, on Wednesda , at 2.30 p.m.Relatives and acquaintances Will kindly accept this invitation.ERMATINGER\u2014In this city, on the 15th inst., Dr.Philip Theodore Hildebrand Erma- tinger, fifth son of the late Lieut.-Col.William Ermatinger, in his 33rd year.ROBERTS\u2014In this city, on 14th inst, George Roberts, a native of Queen's County, Ireland, aged 62 ycars, for 27 ycars foreman to the Montreal Warehousing Co.Funeral on Wednesday 16th inst., at 2 p.m., from his late residence.39 Conway st, to St.Stephen\u2019s Church, and thence to Mount Royal Cemetery.(Ottawa, Toronto and Brockviile papers please copy.)

In unfeigned glee, the Government organs announce that for the four months, which came to an end on Oct.31 last, the revenue was $12,034,695, while the expenditure wus only $8,028,084.This leaves a handsome surplus of $4,628,611, What is this surplus ?Does it indicate that the Government has taken-from the people in four months, four million dollars more than was necessary to the payment of the actual running expenses of the country?or does lt mean that in those four months the merchants of the Dominion have been stocking their warehouses with foreign mods for the fall and winter rade and that as a consequence a great proportion of the importing for the whole year has been done ?The latter s the answer to the question.The first half of the fiscal year is not usually the spending half.The great provincial subsidies and the interest on the public debt will be paid out and ali the other great expenditures made later in the year, when Mr.Foster's surplus will dwindle until it loses all its fair rotundity.There will remain of it, however, enough to show that the Finance Minister and the Government of = which he is a member are still engaged in the unholy task of drawing blood from the stone, of levying on the farmer and the miner and the fishermen for the bare necessities of life and applying the proceeds to the building up of the strength of the restrictionists, It will appear at the end of the year, after alll just debts of the country have been paid, that Mr.Foster still fingers a fat surplus wrested from an overtaxed people for no cause which has ever yet been explained.A Government should be something better than a mere tax collector.Given % continuance of the willingness of the Conservative party to hold power even at the cost of a surrender of its independence, its very identity, to the mighty ring of political manufacturers, from an aggravation of the present subservience of the Government to the will of ita task masters and tariff makers, and it might come to pass that besides the oligarchy of the Red Parlor there would be but one class of people in Canada and they would be people who could not get out.There are surpluses and surpluses.A surplus which is stored up and laid by against & rainy day, a provision for a clearly foreseen contingency, is the part of the simplest common sense and justice, but a surplus which is wrested from hard earn- jugs of the poor and pretended to be applied in the end to the building up of a system which ia founded ppon au aggravation of the misfortunes of the many Is not far different from common robbery.Of such are the balances of which Mr.Foster boasts from year to year.A surplus is not infrequently a tempta- lion to extravagance.Greater Finance Ministers and better men than Mr.Foster have seen fit to shaw cause not only for Increased taxation, but for increased expenditure, and he will find it hard bo defend the maintenence of his surplus much longer.His ears have ot been quite dead to the demands of the people in the past.Two years ago the rousewives of the land poured out upon his 1ead modified blessings for the abatement sf the evil conditions, under which they had been forced to pay several prices for their sugare.lf the tome of the Government organs be any indication of what is to come, it is not improbable that the coming session of the House will see lowered cost of coal oil, one-half of the removal of the duty upon crude petroleum at least.There are other rank thickets of abuse, in which the France minister might ply the Pruning knife to the advantage, not only to himself and the (Government, but of the whole people.All other things being equal tariff reformers need not care whence the good thing comes, and they will not be the last to rejoice if Mr.Foster takes a leaf out sf their book, and confers upon the taxpay- ws an almost priceless boon in the reduc.ion or removal of the duties on the woolens and cottons that enter into the manu- lacture of the garments of the working man, barbed wire, binding twine, and all articles of a like kind.\u201cWe admit,\u201d saya The Hamilton Times, *\u2018that he knows how to get our money away from us.Let him now make a reputation as a reliever of the people.\u201d He has posed once in this character and due consideration of the strangeness of his surroundings having been had he has not done badly.Let him essay the part again.The Demonstration in Trafalgar Square.The city of London, on Sunday, pre- serted & spectacle that could not saïcly be allowed in any other of the world\u2019s great capitals.The assemblage in Trafalgar Square of a mob of over thirty thousand of the most turbulent clements of society, and the absence of ny demonstration of police or military force to hold it in \u2018control, would in most piaces have ended in a serious emoute.The Sunday mob was not the ordinary meeting of respectable working men who occasionally assembled at the call of their leaders, and who, if a little rough iu their demonstrations, are as\u2019 far trom wishing to overturn the established order o' things as a gathering of peers and membgrs of parliament could be.The Sunday meeting was mainly composed ol unemployed, and therefore discontented, men.Full of their own Z Union Paciaa\u2019: : ( fi à abash p'fd 27 2j u New York Stocks.= ba \u20acssrs, montagne, Clarke & Co., tkers and brokers,
