Against the Czar.Discovery of a Wide-Spread Plot Among the Military\u2014They Are Tired of Peace and Ambitious For Glory and Promotion in the Service\u2014The Cruel Treatment of the Jews Another Trouble, St.Petersburg, Dec.27.\u2014Numerous arrests continue to be made at Kiefl of persons suspected of Nihilism.Nine more ofiicers are among those imprisoned either under suspicion or direct charges of connection with a couspiracy against the Czar.The Russian authorities believe they have unearthed a wide-spread plot in which a number, not only of the lower officials, but wiso those of the higher rank are involved, aud several officers having positions of trust and confidence near the person of the Czar have been put under surveillance, although not under arrest, being givenleave of absence from duty until the suspicions resting upon them are verified or disproved.The extent of the plot is not yet known and there seems no doubt this time of its genuine character, although it is not certain that the motives of the plotters are nihilistic.There is much discontent in the ariny with the prolonged period of peace and many of the officere think the Czar is too pacifie in his disposition.There is no louger an outlet for these waur- like spirits in subduing the tribes of Central Asia, all of these having been brought thoroughly under Rus- siau subjection.The Russian Empire was never more peaceful so far as external enemies are concern, tus Lsurmuring among the army officers, ambitious for glory and disappointed in their hopes of promotion, is as correspondingly loud, The enuthorities at St.Petersburg are greatly apprehensive us to the extent of the conspiracy developed at Kieff, and much excitement prevails in official circles and among the public.Meantit:e, the persecution of the Jews goes ont more earnestly than ever, the leading official prosecutor being the Grand Duke Sergius, brother of the Czar and husband of Queen Victorias grand daughter Elizabeth.As Governor of Moscow, he seems determined to turn every Jow out of the city.The Jewish population of Moscow has already been reduced from about 80,000, when Sergius became Governor, to about 80,000, and the number continues to decrease under tlie added rigor of penal luws, and the intolerable severity of their enforcement.The Moscow University shuts its doors against Jews and it will not be long before the Conservatoire does the same.The severe treatment of the Jews is having a ruinous effect upon real estate and other interests, at least 30,000 lodgings being empty in Moscow, The most pitiful scenes are witnessed among the crowds of Jews at the railway stations, men and women over 80 years of age and balf clad little children svhase erying and praying in the cold.Their sufferings are viewed with utter indifference by the Russian authorities and any non-Jewish resident who displays kindness towards them, risks being put under suspicion.The soldiers detailed to assist the police in guarding the Jews treat them with great brutality, and frequeniiy prick the nnfortunates with their bayonets if they attempt to leave the stations in which they are penned.The officers do not Like the work of guarding Jews, which they look vpon as beneath their dignity, and this also is a cause of some discontent among the military.DREAD NEWS FROM RUSSIA.Peasants Dying in Great Numbers from

TWO CENTS \u2014\u2014 Baron Reinaeh Believed to Have Been Murdered by Interested Persons.A Paris Paper Has Information Regarding the Result of the Post Mortem Examination Which Would Go to Show That the Baron Was the Victim of Foul Play\u2014The Panama Investigating Committee.Paris, Dec.27.\u2014The Figara states it has information to the effect that Dr.Brouar- del, who had charge of the post mortem examination of the body of the Baron de Reinach, has reported to the Government that apoplexy was not the cause of the baron\u2019s death.His report says de Reinach was poisoned, and that the poison was taken into his stomach eight hours before death.Baron de Reinich\u2019s family are aware of the contents of the report,and have demanded that a judicial inquiry be held to prove that the baron did not commit suicide.It has been more than hinted that Baron DeReininch was put outof the way by those who feared his \u201cevidence might implicate them in the Panama scandal.If it is true that the poison was in his stomach eight hours before death, there would be good reason to believe that this terrible charge against certain men is true.The face iat the Baron's death was linked to tlic sudden and mysterious deaths of two other men who were cognizant of the bribery of legislators gives added strength to the demand of the baron\u2019s family, that an inquiry be held to place the responsibility for his death where it belongs.Le Gaulois has an interview to-day with M.Andreux, the former prefect of police, who in the course of the interview associ* ated Baron de Reinach's death with an attempt made two years ago to poison Dr.Cornelius Herse.These articles lave awakened interest in the matter, and the official report of the autopsy is cagerly awaited for, TO DISPENSE WITH

according to the Paris correspondent of The Standard, has begin suit against the editor of La Cocarde for criminal libel.The Standard\u2019s Paris correspondent says that the socialist leader Guesde, openly confesses thut the socialists intend to revive an international fight against the oligarchy of capital, financial oppression, and the corruption of the bourgeoisie aud other evils of the present social system.MR.VAN HORNE'S SCHEME.WHAT MR.BOOTH, AN OTTAWA RAILWAY MAN, HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT.The Arnprior and Parry Sound Did Not Forestal the C.P.R.in the Central Depot Idea.Ottawa, Dec.27.\u2014J.R.Booth, chief promoter of the Ottawa, Aruprior, and Parry Sound railway, denies Mr.Van Horue\u2019s statement that the promoters of the Ottawa, Amprior and Parry Sound railway had obtained private information of the C.P.R.scheme, and had forestalled that company in its intention to erect a new central depot at Ottawa.Mr.Van Horne\u2019s proposal, he said, was as big a surprise to him as any other citizen of Ottawa.Four years ago, said Mr.Booth, \u201cI with several other leading citizens had a survey and plans made for a bridge across the Ottawa from Mull to Nepean Point, and it was the only one ever heard of crossing the river at that point.That project was in counection with his present plans for the erection of the Central depot at the canal basin, which he is now endeavoring to carry out.He does not want anyone to think he is against the C.P.R.scheme.For his part he couid not see how the city was going to be assisted by such plans as those provided by Mr.Van Horne.The only object was to give the company a straight line to its Chaudiere depot, and allow its line to run straight from Montreal, instead of backing in and out as at present.In conclusion, he said he hoped Mr.Van Horne meant business, but to him it seemed strange that such a scheme should be introduced to the public at such & time.MAJOR MACAULAY MARRIED.The Popular Officer of the 6th

Ago\u2014Passengers Did Not Know When the Steamer Might go to the Bottom.London, Dec.27.\u2014The steamer Ohio from Philadelphia, Dec.14th, for Liverpool, passed Brow Head to-day.She had in tow the Belgian steamer Nordland, from New York, Dec.14th, for Antwerp.The Nord- land\u2019s shaft is broken.The Ohio took her to Queenstown.The voyage of the Nord- land was tempestuous almost from the hour of leaving Sandy Hook.The winds blew almost a hurricane, and the ship had much ditficulty in making headway through the waves.Some of the passengers were so apprehensive of danger that they could not be induced to retire at night, and sat about the saloon dozing at intervals and ready with their clothes on to take to take to the bouts lu the event of an accident, although boats could have lived only by a iniracle in the terrible seas.The Nordland labored along successtully until Thursday evening.It was a bitter cold night and the passengers were congratulating themselves on gradually nearing theend of theirstormy voyage, when at twenty minutes past nine in the evening a tremendous crash was heard and the vessel quivered from end to end.The pussengers who were sitting up were tossed about like nine-pins, several of them being thrown to the floor.Three terrific blows resounded, one after the other as if the vessel was being struck by a gigantic hammer, which indeed wus the fact.The fright of some of the people was pitiful to behold.They rushed hither and thither and delayed the officers in their efforts Lo get ut the cause and extent of the disaster.Capt.Nickels knew well enough what the sound meant and with a reassuring word to the passengers Lie hastened to investigate personally, The engines raced furiously while the broken shaft, for that proved to be the danger, seemed about to crush the ship at every concussion, Water rushed in the tube menacing the stokehole and the engine rooms, and panic stricken passengers thought for à while that the vessel was about to sink.Several minutes elapsed before word was given for the engines to stop.The Nordland lay helpless, tossed by the gale, and as the water rushed in there seemed imminent danger of sinking, The pumps were manned and put to work, every tan of the crew being summoned to duty.For 24 hours continuously the pumps were kept at work and the water prevented from gaining on the vessel.The excited passengers, finding that they were not in instant peril of being swallowed up by the waves, regained their courage and patiently waited for a s camer to tow them into port.At the time of the accident the Nord- land was 400 miles west of Queenstown.The crippled steamer was sighted by the steamship Ohio, which left Philadelphia on the same day that the Nordland left New York, and needed assistance was ut once extended.The voyage to Queenstown in tow was attended by much difficulty, and the continuous stormy weather made it necessary to navigate with caution, but the Nordland arrived without further accident.An examination showed that the fracture of the shaft was six feet inside the stern.ANOTHER ACCOUNT.The steamship Noordland was towed into Queenstown harbor by the steamship Obio at 7 o'clock this evening.All the passengers were on deck waving hats and handkerchiefs and cheering.The anchor was dropped und the passengers were removed to shore by a tender.All showed signs of the anxiety which they had suffered ; some of the elderly steerage passengers were hardly able to walk.Several women went on their knees and cried the moment they were landed.Fred Kots, a first cabin passenger, now stopping at a Queenstown hotel, told his experience to-night ns follows : The first two days out of New York were fairish, although part of the time a heavy sea was running.The weather then grew rapidly worse.On the night of the accident we were making about 12 knots an hour, The ship was rolling heavily and most of the cabin passengers were below sick.Five or six of us were in the smoking room talking about how we should pass Christmas in Antwerp, when there was a terrific crash and we were all thrown from the seats into a heap on the floor.The vibration of the ship almost shook us from our feet as we started for the door.Iv seemed as if a gigantic hammer was pounding the ship\u2019s bottom.When we got outside we suw the captain coming from the engine room.The passengers canie running on deck half dressed and white from fear, We surrounded the captain and he told us the main shaft was broken but there was no immediate reason for alarm.The other officers who were uot busy below walked about among the passengers incessantly and tried to encourage all to believe that there was no danger.In a few minutes we learned that the engineers at great risk to their lives had found the two stay plates, and the plummer blocks had smashed the gland of the engine.The bulkhead, Lowever, had been kept tight.The vessel pitched and rolled terri- Lly, so that we suw we could not trust to the boats in case the worst came.We were just becoming calmer when we saw the crew rushing through the steerage carving bedding, mats and carpets to be stuffed into the tunnel box.We all knew then that water was coming in.Nobody slept that night.The women sat crying int the cabius and the men crowded tle smoking-room to play cards and talk over the situation.We were all badly frightened.The vessel rolled terribly, and\u201d with every roli came a tremendous thump as if à piece of the shaft was loose and sunashing things in the hold.Tie sails had been spread, but they did uot stealy the ship noticeably.We knew we were far from the track oi trans-Atlantic steamships, and most of us on that night would not have guessed that our chances of life were wore than two in five, The crew worked heroically at the pumps for the twenty-four hours after the accident and at the same time the engineers were busy at the shaft fixing plugs and trying to prevent further influx of water.lventy- ally word was sent cut that the flow of water had been checked, We had plenty { food and water and, therefore, with tairly favorable weather would have been able to hold our own for some time.As the sea was still Loo rougi, however, for any lifeboat we were a gloomy lot.Friday was uneventful.The tables were laid as usual, but few cared to cat.Au 2 o'clock on Saturday morning, the lookout yelled : \u201cLight ahead,\u201d everybody turned out and listened cagerly for the next word.\u201cShe is à steamer,\u201d was the next call.We all shook lands and cheered, and many run about shouting for joy.We all remained on deck the rest of the night watching the Ohio's lights, At daylight she stood by, and passed a hawser.At that time as I learned subsequently our afterpeak was full of walter, and despite their expressions of confidence, the ollicers of the ship were intense.ly anxious.i STARVATION IN FINLAND.A m J Al Tle strain caused by the heavy seas was too \u2014\u2014 IN

Chief Subject Discussed.Toronto is enjoying a very warm mayoralty contest.\u2018The candidates are E.KE Sheppard aud R.Fleming, the present in.cumtent.At the nomination day speeches crsonalities were freely indulged in.Mr.Sheppard had been bearing testimony in his speeches to his solvency; and the Toronto World, which is backing Mr.Sheppard, had taken the trouble to look up in the Sheriff\u2019s office the record of the writs issued against Mr.Fleming.The latter has been badly caught by the bursting of Toronto's boom; and hisopponents proposed to make use of his business difficulties to prevent his reelection.In his speech on nomination day Mr.Fleming made the fur fly.He said : *\u201c Mr.Sheppard referred to my business affairs when he stated that he was always able to pay his debts.I have been in that fortunate position, and I have paid the debts of other people.Unfortunately, just now there is a desire to have me pay, and pros perly so, the debts of some other people.I haveallIcan do to paymy own.That only requires a little time.I have abundance of property, and if I had a little time I would not take any man\u2019s check in Toronto for $150,000.I was interested when I learned of Mr.Sheppard\u2019s wealth, and I had the records in the registry office looked up, with the result that I do not see from them that he is even a taxpayer in the city of Toronto.Perhaps I am doing Mr.Sheppard an injustice ; perhaps I am ; I do nov desire to do it.I am sorry to bring personal matters into this contest; I don\u2019t think it should be done.I have avoided doing it, but a worm when trampled on will turn.If Mr.Sheppard is a taxpayer in the city of Toronto, I cannot find his name upon the books of the registry office.I find here a certified copy of a deed of land from J.C.Fitch to M\u2019liss Sheppard, This is Mr.Sheppard\u2019s wife.I find another deed of land from Edward Fielding to M\u2019liss Sheppard.I find another deed of land from M\u2019liss Sheppard to Edward Fielding.I have not put one dollar\u2019s worth of property in my wife\u2019s name.Every foot of the property that I have is in my own name, and the money that I have earned has gone to buy that property, and every creditor that I have can get at that property.I don\u2019t desire to nor do I purpose taking refuge under my wife\u2019s umbrella.If I had my property in my wife\u2019s name I would not have a writ issued against me.Writs are only ia- sued against men that something can be got out of.I paid this year in taxes over $2,100.Who is likely to serve you best, who is likely to care most economically for your affairs, the man whose name appears in the registry office as having an assessment of possibly $100,700 or $200,000 and who pays hundreds of dollars in taxes, or the man who by the documents pays nothing at all In conclusion, Mr.Fleming sent in this Parthian tart : \u201cWhen I heard first that Mr.Sheppard was to be a candidate, I felt somewhat uneasy.Mr.Sheppard has been & Reformer in_ politics, and I thought he would get the Reform vote.He has been an annexationist and he will get the annexation vote.Mr.Sheppard has been a Conservative and he will get the Conservative vote.He has been the workingman\u2019s friend, and he will the workingman\u2019s vote, He has a rag upon every bush.\u201d In reply Mr.Sheppard said that the diatribe they had just heard would not do the man who made it any good.Here was a professed Christian coming upon the platform and parading his benevolence uninindful of the admonition, \u201cWhen doing little acts of kinduess not to let the right hand know what the left hand doeth.\u201d In a speech which he (Mr.Sheppard) had made he simply stated that he had always paid his debts.He did not say that he was rich; he had never claimed any wealth.What was in his wife's name was her's.Mr.Fleming said that he was execution proof, and that he did not pay taxes, but it he would look up the Sheppard Publishing Company he would find that it paid large taxes.In his own right he had in that company an interest which he valued at $15,000 and the company paid its debts.He was able to his own debts and his wife's, and he had never involved other people in ruin with him.It has been whispered by the friends of Mr.Fleming in every allevway that he was an athiest and an infidel.He wished to say that he believed in the great God alone.He had never gone nosing around the registry office\u2014 Mr.Fleming\u2014The World did it for you.Mr.Sheppard\u2014The World did not do is for me.I have never inspired it.Mr.Fleming\u2014You got the benefit of it.Mr.Sheppard protested that he had nothing whatever to do with The World's recent attack upou Mr.Fleming.The White House

FACT.PRACTICAL WORKING OF WOMAN'S RIGHT TO VOTE IN WYOMING.Women Are Koen, and Men Candidates Must be Respectable\u2014Never Wife Beaters.Cheyenne, Dec.27.\u2014Correspondence N.Y.Sun: Not more than a quarter of the vote of this State is cast by its women, and every woman who enjoys the right of suif- rage exercises it religiously.In this direction they are not at all excelled by the men.There are in Wyoming a number of collieries and mining camps where the gentler sex is absent, to say nothing of the wide expanse of cow country where all the housework is performed by males.The Wyoming woman is every inch a politician, She has membership in her partisan club, she reads, she attends the primaries, the conventions, and the mass meetings, and tides in carriages in the processions.She makes speeches and she runs for office and gets elecicd by a big majority.One place is conceded to woman on each of the 1.county tickets.That is Superintendent o: Schools, a post worth from $600 to £1,500 a year.They are deputy clerks and deputy treasurers, and enjoy a division of the national aud legislative spoils.One of them was State Librarian until her demise a few months ago.Itis a little dangerous to pit BR Woman against a woman in a canvass, but it has been done without serious results.Wien a man opposes a woman he makes a rfunctory and hopeless campaign.There is no denying that youth and beauty add much to the strength of a woman candidate, but there is no rule that personal attractiveness wins always.In the ballot the women recognize and usc a weapon which they value us an endowment of nature, which they believe should be wielded with calm judgment.There never is in the field as a candidate a man who drinks to excess, one who gambues, one who abuses lis wife or children, or one whose associations are not what they should be.It is not at all necessary for a politician to be a church member to have the support of the women, but he must be a man of character and iutegrity.A man who stood for sheriff in one of the counties this month was accused after his nomination of having at one time beaten his wife.He suffered a most humiliating defeat.Scarcely » woman voted for him.On another oc- sasion there was revived against a candidate a scandal to the effect that he had once slapped his wife for making him a shirt that was much too small.The women vowed to make him feel so small that he could use the little shirt for an overcoat, und they did it.There is no denying the fact that the women have for a long time docked with Republicans.The Democratic party bestowed upon them the baliot, then they tried to take it away.A Republican Governor vetoed the repealing bill, and that arty has claimed them ever since.In the bre election, on the invasion or \u2018\u2018rustler\u201d issue, the women went over to the Democrats.There was something in the position ot the \u201crustlers\u201d that appealed to their sense of justice They believed, as the Democratic platform declared, that the Republican party, through its leading men in office, permitted an armed body to enter the State and assassinate and burn.The blood of one of the \u2018\u2018rustlers,\u201d shot down on the road near Buffalo last winter, flowed over a package of toys he was taking home to his babies.The women voted against a possible recurrence of this sort of thing.No matter if the victim of the stockmen was a tireless professional thief, he had a wife and little ones.For the first time in the history of the State the women are with the Democrats.Extraordinary effort is being made by the Republicaus to win them back.They will not change without a change of sentiment.In this country, two years ago, the candidates for School Supcrintendent were a pretty litle teacher and a handsome ex- teucher who wns married.The girl besought the sutfrage of an Irish woman on the ground that tier opponent had a husband who could give her money.\u2018* There's nothing in your plea,\u201d was the response, \u2018A married woman has more trouble getting money than anybody.\u201d This year one of the candidates issued a circular letter in which she pledged herself to see that movals were taught in the public schools.The other nominee issued a counter proclamation, in which she promised that under her regime morals should not be taught in the schools.The latter was elected by a big majority.In their clubs here, which hold weekly sessions the year round, the women discuss economic questions and study party history and platforms.The ideal of a perfect paper at one of these gatherings is a scathing arraignment of the other side.The political sensation of the year among the women was the resignation of the President ef the Republican club of this city.She went over to the People\u2019s party on the \u201c\u201crustler\u201d issue and took quite a contingent with her.Club paralysis did not follow, however.The organization was recruited &nd placed on a firiner basis than ever.The campaign work of the women is byno means auxiliary, They operate independently of the societies composed of males, Their work is for the party good, and in the line of securing recognition for women, On election day they are even more active than the men.It is their boast that no woman who is an elector fails to vote.They come to the polls in carriages, and, under the Australian system, make out their tickets quicker than the men.They scent immediately any trickery and are vapid and thorough in the work of counteracting canards.Their nerve is excellent.They Will trace up arumor and boldly demand of the originator proof at once or a clear denial.While warm and endurmg friends, they are excellent haters, and remorseless when bent on revenge In two instances a woman has been elect- sd Justice of the Peace.The first to hold the office was Mrs.Esther Morris, now a resident of Chevenue.She was made a judge at the mining camp of South Pass City seventeen years ago.Mrs.Morris was efficient and satisfactory in the place.She is & woman of marvellous common sense and personal power.Up at Fort McKinney, which has a considerable civic population, the postmaster was candidate for Justice of the Peace, Mrs.Ann Bkelley, a widow, who bas a small store, came out for the place m the morning of election against.the postmaster and the regular Democratic nominee.She was elected.The wives of politicians are important factors.If their husbands are successful they must be democratic, so that society in Wyoming is delightfully free and informal, The'women voters are touchy.Karly in this month a irl who writes for one of the papers in Washington was a guest of one of the Sena torial families here, She sent back a letter burlesquing a Knight of Labor ball which she attended in company with the families of national legislators.She told of the patter of hobuails on the floor.The wives of the workingmen were up in arms, They deemed this a gross insult, Everything was done to wipe out the slur, but \u2018the hobnail reference cust the Republicans many votes.How the women did swarm and flutter and Scamper on that momentous day of last month.Take this city, which is typical of the State.They had a representative at every one of the polling places betore it was time to open.This was to see that no mistakes were made in selecting substitutes for such judges and clerks as might fail to ap- ear.Next they looked after the carriages, Woe to the man who drove a horse that wasn\u2019t fit for harness.He wag brought up standing and forced to make a correction without delay.The women will have the larriages just so, Livery is the largest of the items of expense met by the campaign committees.The women know it, and know that the owners of the Tigs are overcharg- Ing.Hence perfect service is demanded.dany dances were given during the same campaign.It is in the ballroom that the adroit temale politician, if of handsome face and engaging manner, does terrific execution.She will get hold of a man of opposite political faith, and, by getting pledge afte: pledge out of him, during the evening, will have him under bond to vote her ticket straight before they leave the supper table.He must surrender part of his ticket, or there is trouble.She will coax, then argue, then pout, and the last fetches him.And she sees that he keeps his promises.In Wyoming the women are not what you would call of the better order.But they do make wagers on election during the lust few days of the campaign, or if badgered at any time.It is sometimes gloves or dresses or candy, but mostly money, and settlement is by check.; The women are well satisfied with the result of the election, They accomplished everything they set out to bring about.They reiterated the creed that the home is mviolable, and they branded afresh with the brand of condemnation those things which menace the happiness of the sex.It may be said in truth thatthe Wyoming woman is no kin to the woman suffragiat as known in the East, and wants nothing to do with the professionals.The latter are never invited to speak or lecture out here.The women of this State place themselves on po- [tical equality with the men.They are in no sense freaky or cranky about it.After twenty years they have no great reform to show for their exercise of the ballot.They have good, honest government and pure elections.Finally, do the married women vote with their husbands?Usually, but on the sane principle that men closely associated vote alike.Politics are table talk, but they have never bees known to wreck a family.The husband of à woman who was a member of the Democratic State Convention is a Republican to the backbone, but they are happy and prosperous.HE UNDERSTOOD THE LANGUAGE.Not Such a Chump as the Jokers Took Him To Be.I was engrossed in my magazine as the train sped un, saysa writer in Harper's Weekly, and did not notice that a bride and groom had entered the car at a small station; but ny attention was attracted to the couple in rather an odd way\u2014by telegraphic signals, ; Two y ung meu who sat opposite to each other across the aisle were making remarks about them by ticking with their pocket knives on the metal arm of the scat.\u201cSweet ag a peach, isn\u2019t she?\u201d ticked off the young man whose seat was immediately behind the new arrivals.\u2018\u201c Yes,\u201d replied the other.ple, evidently.\u201d \u2018\u2018See how close he sits to his tootsy w ootsy.\u201d .\u2018\u201cIsee.They are holding each others hand, aren\u2019t they ?\u201d \u201cNo; but they are exchanging love glauces.\u201d \u201c\u201c How on earth do you suppose such a chump like that managed to catch such an angel?\u201d \u201c* Give it up.She surely couldn\u2019t see anything in him to admire.\u201d \u201c* Her lips were just made for kisses.\u201d \u201cThat's what they were.\u201d LE] Sa 17 \u201cWell?\u201d \u2018\u201c When the train gets to the next tunnel I'm going to reach over and kiss her.\u201d \u201cYou wouldn't dare.\u201d \u201cYes, I would.She\u2019d think it was her husband, you know.\u201d Their telegraphic conversation ceased here, for the bridegroom had taken out his pocket knife and commenced to tick off this message on the arm of his seat: \u2018When the train gets to the next tunnel the chump proposes to reach over and hammer your two heads together till your teeth drop out.See?\u201d Soon after that two passengers might have been seen sneaking off to the smoking car, and they remained in the smoker not only while the train went through the tunnel but until they reached their destination.¢ Bridal cou- TOO WITTY, A Grocer Who Lost by Imprudence, From the Youth\u2019s Companion, lt is not proiitable for a merchant to be \u2018too wityy ; au any rate, he should not try to be witty on every occas.on.Not long ago, in a country town where there are two groccries in the same street, & very green, wow headed, timid looking froung countryman came into oue of them lone æiternoon, at & time when hali a dozen villagers were grouped around the stove, The storekeeper was waiting upon some one, and paid no attention to fhe new comer.Presently the timid young man said, in a faltering, half frightened voice: \u201cDo\u2014you\u2014keep\u2014sweet p'tetters ?\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d said the storekeeper; \u201cwe don\u2019t keep \u2018em.We sell \u2018em just as fast as we can !\u201d Then he winked at the company around the stove, who snickered appreciatively.The green young wan said, \u201cOh!\u201d and went up to the stove and spread out the palms o: his bands.The storokeep- er went on waiting on his other customer, and used up about 15 minutes in doing so.Then he stepped toward the green young man, who was still warming his hands at the stove, and said, brusquely: \u201cDid you say you wanted to buy some sweet jpotatoes ?\u201d The young man turned slowly about and answered, \u201cI\u2014didn\u2019t say I wanted to buy\u2014nonc; I jest\u2014ast\u2014ye\u2014if ye kop\u2019 t'em.\u201d He then warmed his hands a few minutes longer.Then he walked slowly out of the store, remarking as he went: \u201cI-guess\u2014I'll\u2014 go \u2014daown the street an\u2018\u2014buy\u2014me\u2014some\u2014sweet p'tetters !\u201d The laugh around the.stove was not at the expense of the greenhorn this time.Cholly\u2019s Birthday.Cholly\u2014My birthday to-day old

think, justify its existence and refute the objection so rudely advanced, that it trenches somewhat on home life\u2014 if it serves to promote a larger intellectual life among women \u2014 a truer morality and a more decided weight of influence in good.Women need very much to be educated into truer ways of looking > ut things outside the domestic sphere, and frequently within it, as \u2018or instance a just and fair treatment of servants, judicious training of children, abject slavery to foolish and hurtful fashions, and many other subjects connected with nome life.In lack of this higher judgment many children are ruined, physically and morally, by the weak indulgence of loving mothers, quite unconscious of the evil they are doing.Much domestic trouble is often caused by an utter lack of consideration of the rights and feelings of servants.The women need to learn much about politica} morality, which they so frequently transgress, and about morality in conducting charities and other public interests in which they often show great lack of moral decision.In so far as a club shall educate them in such matters it should be salutary and benificial.FIDELIS.THE FAIR SEX.Notes of

Stranger\u201d Is on the Headstone of Her Virginia Resting Place.Alexandria, Va., Doc.27.\u2014There are a number o: graveyards clustered together in this quaint old town, and the visitors to euch denominational burying ground are many, especially on Sundays.In the plot over which St.Paul's I iscopal Church has control there is oue grave over which there is a flat stone, and on the latter is the following $nscription : : To the memory of a female stranger whose mortal suilerings terminated on the 14th day of October, 1816, aged 23 Sears and 8 months.This stone is placed here by her disconsolate husband, in whose arms she sighed her Iatest breath and who under God did his utmost to soothe the cold, dread ear of death.How loved, how valued ounce avails thee not.To whom related or by whom begot; A heap of dust alone remains of thee, \"Tis all thou art and all the proud shall De.To kim gave all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever be- lieveth in him shall receive remission of sins.\u2014Aets, 10th chapter, 43rd verse.There is a willow tree standing at the head of the grave, and the cemetery is the favorite promenade of the citizens of Alexandria on a Sunday aîternoon, many of whom linger around the grave of the female strange.Visiting the cluster of cemeteries on 8 week day and gazing intently on the last resting place o1 the strange female an old gentleman named Monroe walked up and said: \u201cYou scem*io be interested in the slab before you.\u201d I stated that I was.\u201cDo you know who is buried there?\u201d I answered that i did not, and ho said, \u201cThat is supposed to be the grave of Theodosia Burr, the only daughter of Aaron Burr, Vice President of the Unjit- ed States under President Thomas Jefferson.In the olden days wheu Alexandria was a thriving commercial city and its port was celebrated for its shipping and the number of fish that were landed there irom the Chesapeake Bay, a gentleman and lady\u2014both stran- gers\u2014arrived in this city and stopped at the City Hotel.The man was English.to all appearanze and the lady was evidently an American.She was of very dark compiexion.Her face was of oval shape and she was noted for her beauty, but in a few days after their arrival the lady took sick.A doctor was sent for, and as soon as he arrived the supposed husband of the lady placed a brace of pistols on a table and said to \u2018the doctor, \u2018Do not be too inquisitive; ask fier no questions about her family or connections; treat her for her discase, whatever it is, and cure her if you can.But if you ask any questions not \u2018relating ko her bodily trouble I shall blow vour head olf.\u2019 \u201cWhether this threat had anything to do \u2018with the lady\u2019s sudden taking off or not, I am at a loss to say,\u201d said the strange old gentleman, and, continuing, stated that it was sufficient to know that the lady died and was buried beneath that stone.\u201cThe man has been here several times since, Hut whether he was the lady's husband or \u2018not it is hard for me to say, as he was a man of few words and when on his visits rarely spoke to anybody or mingled in society, The husband of Theodosia Burr was Governor Alston of South Carolina, and if it was he who used to visit the grave of the female stranger he did not make himself known, and taken altogether, It is a mysterious case,\u201d said my informant in conclusion.Influence of Woman on Literature, \u2018The infernal scoundrel who wrote that?I'll have his gore!\u201d \u201cYes, I wan to see tne editor! 2

harass her, but she was not altogether heavy-hearted.Often she reproached herself ihat she was not, the tears springing to her eyes at the sight of the motyonless form on the bed, and the memory of his sacrifice.\u201cOh, forgive me,\u201d she could have whispered in that quiet ear, \u201cI am not bad- hearted ; Dut you sce, Cousin Fair has come.\u201d In truth, Cousin Fair had occupied a much larger place in Adele\u2019s fancy than she had in his.He only remembered a kind, strong girl, whose frocks were always \u2018being torn climbing where little girls ought not to climb.Uncle Fair called her, peevishly, a \u2018\u201cperiect Miss Hoyden,\u201d and until he Was old enough to reud English comedies the boy puz \u201cled over ihe name, Later, there were 4 jew pictures or her luring Lim into breakneck sports; & mild one Was sneuk- ing out to the pasture to ride the coits that Unk\u2019 Ras was breaking; and a bretty mess Miss Adele would make of a frock on these jaunts! Once she was thrown into & thorn-bush.Her arm was scratched so that it swelled to a frightiul degree ; but she would not let lim say anything about it.He had wept over the piteous sight, but she laughed merrily, and vowed that it didn\u2019t hurt her.Another time, one of Adele's teeti must be pulled.The Colonel, who could not endure to hear a child cry, prowised her a new horse if she would not utter a sound.She stood bravely by Ler bargain; but really it projited the soit-heurted dentist little, because Fair, beboidiug the awiul preparations, nid in the room, and howled at the top oi his lungs.Duriug their early childhood the cousins were devoted to each other.Often, alter they were separated, did poor little Fair sob him- seli to sleep thinking of Della\u2014longing for his father and the old plantation and her.But children\u2019s grieïs are transient; he grew foud oi his English nurse, who never scared Lim, \u201cknowing her duty far \u2018too well, sir, to hever repeat \u2018orrid tales to children, wich she had knowed a most lovely child hit gave epileptic fits to, and ee never growed no more in consekeuse.\u201d And his uncle\u2019s friends had children who took Adele\u2019s adn his brothers\u2019 place.When Le came home to Aukasnas, on his one Visit there, he wus very amiable and attentive to Adele,being & polite buy; but privately he thought that she could not be a very nice little girl, |-for she was always doing those things which he had learned that nice little girls never aid; and she was very ignor- and not able to talk French at all and not knowing auy oi the Kings of England.Nevertheless she was great fun, and he wished ardently that he could ride and swim and row like the young romp.\u201cShe\u2019s awfully brave, Uncle Fair, don't you think ?\u201d he said to his uncle.And the latter, glancing down the avenue at a joyiul procession of four small darkies and a calf, with Adele hanging on to its tail, had shrugged his shoulders, grumbling, \u2018Brave! she hasu\u2019t enough seuse to be afraid !\u201d Therefore Fair\u2019s approval of Adele had its reserves;

President.Vice-President.E.G.O'CONNOR, Sec.-Treasurer, WEDNESDAY MORNING, DEC.28.The Political Situation, Protection is a bad policy for Canada.In fact, it is a bad policy for any country, because it is an attempt to override natural laws, and substitute forced and artificial methods.Some countries, however, can stand such a system better than others.The United States have made fair progress under a protective system, and in spite of it.But it is a country with great extent of territory and infinite variety of soil, climate and production, and there has arisen an enormous inter-State trade, which mitigates to an enormous extent the usual paralyzing effects of restriction.Canada, on the contrary, is geographically unsuited for the protective system: Inter-provincial trade is almost afi impus- sibility, owing to the great stretches of country intcrvening betweenthe centresof population.The inevitable result has ensued.After fourteen years of protec tion we have now to record à diminishing rural population, an increasing exodus, depression in business, discontent among the farmers, and the whole trade of the country carried on under artificial and unnatural conditions, which keep business and finance in constant danger of crises and fluctuations, But this is not the worst feature of the protective system.The most vital and far-reaching danger is the creation of a class whose very existence is a perpetual menace of the liberties of the people.In theory we have popular Government in Canada, as they have it in the United States.In Quebec the memory of the struggles of Lafontaine, Papineau, Ouimet, and others is still fresh in the minds of the older generation.The same is true of the struggles of Mackenzie and Baldwin in Ontario, of Howe in Nova Scotia, and of Wilmot and others in New Brunswick.When 1848 was reached we were all under the impression that henceforward popular government was ours, and that no minister and no administration could stand unless sustained by the free and independent support of the majority of the people.Since the protective system was introduced in Canada we have no such thing as popular government.We have it in name, but the reality is a grim satire.And the most discouraging incident is that the great mass of the people are utterly unconscious of the fact.It is fondly believed that the people are ruling as before, and it will take a blast of Michael\u2019s trumpet to rouse them to a sense of the fool's paradise in which they are living.The very instant the protective system builds up a few great industries, the profits of which make a certain few persons enormously rich, then these beneficiaries at once conclude that they own the country and proceed to exercise pro\u201d rietorship.That is just the position in lanada at this moment, as it has been for vears in the United States.A general lection comes on, The Government re- wesents the interests of a privileged \u2018lass.The opposition represents princi- es, and appeals to the people on broad ssues which concern the public good, but he great industries combine and say to the Government in effect : \u201c It is our interest that you remain in power.There- \u2018ore weare ready to furnish sufficient funds \"0 secure the return of a safe majority.\u201d Such a proposition is just the thing the Government delights to hear.As a result an enormous fund is raised, the electorate is bought, and a system of public robbery is maintained by a system of public debauchery.This is not only the inevitable result of a system of protection, but it is the actual condition of things in Canada at this moment, and it was the actual condition of things in the United States until the last great Presidential election, which is chiefly remarkable as the triumph of the people over the combines.It is not necessary to pile up proofs.It is the most common thing to have a great capitalist tell you, with the utmost nonchalance, that \u2018\u2018the Liberal party had better give up its opposition to the National Policy, or the manufacturers will combine to crush it.\u201d Does any man stop to realize what such an impudent threat involves 7 Who are the \u201c\u2018protected industries,\u201d that they should assume to control the destinies of this country?Have we not five millions of free people, and have these nothing to say as to how the country is to be governed ?There can be no such thing as political morality under a system of protection, for it rests on an immoral principle, a basis of selfishness and greed, of robbing by sanction of law great masses to profit privileged individuals, of creating false ideas and departing from sound and just precepts.The very fact of watching the operation of a protective system will debauch the public conscience and open the door to legalized oppression.Such is the position in Canada to-day.Sir John Macdonald maintained for years a government based on protection, and it developed naturally into a government of corruption.Sir John Thompson, in succession, has formed a new-old government of which he has announced the policy to be protection.And we need not be told that the system of corruption and debauchery will go on.Under these circumstances there is but one policy for the Liberal party to pursue.Putting aside all fads and impracticable lines, they must plant themselves squarely on the side of the people.There should be no temporizing, no compromising, no cowardly intimation that they were going in for tariff reform, but in such a way as not to offend the combines.There is no middle ground in this great struggle.One must either declare that he is for the combines or for the people.Nothing so excites popular contempt as cowardice.There is nothing to fear in any case.In spite of boodling and debauchery the heart of the people is sound.That the masses are growing weary of the existing system is manifest in a thousand ways.Every independent newspaper in Canada has boldly declared for tariff reform.Several moderate Conservative papers have joined the procession.Murmurs against the evils of the National Policy come from all quarters.The man who in a manly spirit plants himself upon the platform of tariff reform and raises this flag, is bound to win, come the coutest when it may.One word on the subject of reciprocity.Trade with all countries is important and should be cultivated, but our trade with the United States is most important of all, because that country is our only neighbor, and is or should be a vast consumer of our products.The Liberal party was entirely justified in declaring for the widest reciprocity with that coun try when the Republicans were in power and their policy reciprocity.But a new condition of things has sprung up.The Democrats have come into power and their policy is in line with that of the Liberals of Cunada.They propose for their own benefit to sweep away the \u2018protective or oppressive features of their own tariff, and it is only necessary for Canada to do likewise to secure in large measure what we all yearn for aud desire.This everyone knows can never be attained under the narrow policy of Sir John Thompson and George Foster, who are the bond slaves of the combines.The natural complement of Democratic success in the United States is Liberal success in Canada.Here then we have a policy, an issue and a cause, around which all that is good, pure, honest and progressive in Canada can rally.Two or three years remain to get this issue fully before the people.Let us all be active and vigi- | lant and the day of victory will soon come and Canada resume the era of progress which was foolishly stayed by the mad adoption of protection in 1878.Chump Statesmanship.Hon.William Bullock Ives is a large- voiced but never a weighty public speaker.Hence, in place of the self-congratulations with which he favored his audience at Sherbrooke on nomination day, a \u2018\u2018corrected\u201d (type written) copy of what he intended to say, but did not say, has been furnished to his press supporters.As the reports in the Sherbrooke Gazette, Examiner and the Richmond Guardian agree, verbatim and literatim, we presume that the Gazette, Examiner and Guardian version of the \u2018\u2018speech\u201d may be considered as the matured expression of the thoughts which have been borne in upon the soul of the great statesman, on attaining that position for which hehas long been marked out by an anxious country impressed by his invariable modesty and Cincinnatus-like demeanor.The speech opens with a reference to \u201cmy great victories in Richmond and Wolfe of 1878 and 1887.\u201d The \u2018\u2018victory\u201d of 1887 was the one which convinced Mr.Ives that Sherbrooke might prove a safer.constituency.A perfectly true, if un- candid, geknowledgment follows : wucce King as I dosuch able and eminent men as Sir Alexander Galt, Christopher Dun- kin, T.Lee Terrill, John Henry Pope, Luctus Seth Huntington and Charles C.Colby, I feel how impossible it will bo for me to fill the place which they filled, or to impress the policy of the country with the feelings or opinions of the people of the Eastern Townships to the extent that they succeeded in doing.\u201d Then comes a eulogy of Sir John Macdonald, and at last we get tothe position, prospects and intentions of the present Government : \u201cThe work left for us to do is comparatively prosaic.There is no other great West to acquire, no other transcontinental railway to build.We have to complete what has been begun, we have to settle the bills, wo have to get the commendation and praise of the Canadian peoplc\u2014if get it we do\u2014not by any brilliant statesmanship, but by wise, business-like administration.\u201d The policy of \u2018incidental protection of Canadian interests\u201d is to be continued, but hints are thrown out that the duties on coal oil will be lowered, and the duty on corn abolished.Tariff for revenue is specifically excluded from the Government policy.Mr.Ives, however, attempts no discussion of the condition of the country or of the effect which fourteen years of \u201c\u2018incidental protection of Canadian interests\u201d have had upon the prosperity of the Eastern Townships.Thanks to taxes on everything he uses and wears, and to a policy which has helped to exclude him from his nearest, and, in many lines, his best market, the position of the Eastern Townships farmer is distinctly and positively inferior to what it was fourteen years ago.Whole townships in the fairest portions of that part of the province have lost their farming population by hundreds, and everywhere farm values have declined twenty-five and even forty per cent.A responsible informant assures us that in some of the best farming districts not more than twenty-five per cent.of the assessed value will now be loaned on farm property.Moreover, the exodus still continues, and it will not stop by the Government merely closing its eyes to the fact.Even Sherbrooke is not a much greater manufacturing centre than it was fourteen years ago, which, considering its central position, its railway fgcilities and its natural advantages for manufacturing, may be considered as a proof that a fiscal policy which injures the farming industry may help to keep the towns and cities from going forward as they should.But Mr.Ives based his claim to election on the ground that his selection for a Cabinet position was a \u2018* compliment to Sherbrooke,\u201d and what is statesmanship compared to a compliment ?EDITOR McLEAN COMMITTED.He Must Stand Trial on a Charge of Criminal Libel.Toronto, Dec.27.\u2014\u2014W.F.McLean, M.P., proprietor of The World newspaper, was this norning committed for trial on the charge of criminal libel cluimed against him by Mayor Fleming.It wiil be remembered that The World last week printed a statement to the effect that A.II.Rundle had given Mr.Fleming two notes to be filled out for 8100 and $150, respectively, which the Mayor had fraudulently raised to $5000and $1500.The mayor was represented by B.B Osler, Q.C., and county Crown Attorney Curry, and Mr.MacLean by Wallace Nesbitt, Q.C., and G.G.Lindsay.Mr.Flening was under examination for an hour.He produced the 85000 note, showing that it was made originally in 1880 ou the Traders bank, and had heen renewed since at intervals of three and four months.With the note was an agreement, showing that it had been made as part payment of moneys due to Mr.Fleming from Rundle.The magistrate ac cepted Mr.MacLean's bonds for $200.Mr.Rundle\u2019s creditors meet this afternoon.THE POPE'S ABLEGATE, Contradictory Reports In Rome as to Mgr, Satolli\u2019s

of the report of Mgr.Satoll having raised the question of a Nuncioship at the Arch-Episcopal conference, it may be interesting to recall the remark of Pope Gregory XVI, \u201cI am really Pope in North Ainerica, for there I am free.\u201d Many Catholics here think that the Pope would be less frec in the United States if di lomatic relations were iustituted.In his C rristmas address the Pope expressed the hope that they would some day beable to escort him through Rome.That day would come, but when iv will come is God's secret, A Retraction.A Sunday publicetion in ite issue has a sensational article headed \u2018\u2019Clorical Crook,\u201d alleging that an Anglican clergyman having charge of a church near Chaboillez square had been guilty of improper conduct.Yesterday a prominent member of that denomination moved down on the office and forced a retraction in the form of à written statement that the use of the word \u2018\u2018Anglican\u201d in the report Was incorrect.CORRESPONDENCE.Canada Cannot Make a Reciprocity Treaty.To the Editor of The Herald: .Sir\u2014For 20 years wo have been negotiating for reciprocity with the United States on a preferential basis.George Brown 8 arrangements with the Washington Government under the McKenzie Government contained not only agricultural products but also a short list of manufactured goods lo be freely exchanged between Canada and the United States, to the exclusion of every other country.Later on last year our Ottawa Ministers went to Washington with the object of freer commercial relations.The Washington authorities, through Mr.Blaine, offered a full measure of reciprocity with Canada on the basis of the exclusion of every other country, the only basis on which reciprocal advantages can reasonably be procured.Now all these negotiations on our part either with the United States, France, South America or the West Indian colonies, were simple undertaken under false pretenses, They were a delusion unworthy of Canada for the simple reason that we, as colonists, have not the shadow of auchority to grant, by treaty, tariff or otherwise, a dollar\u2019s worth of preferential advantages to any foreign country, nay more to the mother country herself, The British Government itself, with all its supreme power, can not give its own colonies one cent of preferential treatment over its worst enemies.Great Britain's treaty obligations with the commercial nations of the world forbids it, and as we are part and parcel of the British Empire, these treaty obligations have to be respected in the Dominion of Canada as well as in the British lsles themselves.Therefore, all this clap-trup about reciprocity with the United States or anybody else, is pure fabrication with not a parcel of justification or authority to stand on.All this preferential treatment to be awarded by Canada in favor of British goods advocated by the ultra-loyalist press is solemn nonsense.The much vaunted pretension that Canada has the sole control of its tariff legislation is a simple delusion.If the Parliament of Canada dared to legislate in favor of a preferential tariff to the advantage of the British producer himself, not to mention the foreign manufacturers, the Imperial Government would simply throw that legislature to the waste bashet as contrary to the treaty obligations of the Em- ire, P And still we have the Conservative press telling us every day in the week what a thing it is for Canada to control its own tariff, and what disastrous thing it would be to lose that control by a commercial union with the United States.Tie fact is we have no recognized rights in commercial matters, and this idle talk about extending our trade relations is simply a farce.The want of knowledge on these international questions by our leading politicians is really marvellous and a matter of surprise for other countries.As colonists, we have none of the sovereign rights of a free people.Our mock parliament and Government are subject to the approval of the British Colonial office, where che real power resides, and if we are in earnest in advocating the extension of our commercial relations within and without the Empire, we must first obtain our political independence, which alone can free the Dominion of Canada from the entanglements stipulated in the treaty obligations of Great Britain.J.X, Perrau.T.Montreal, Dec.27.PANTALEON STREET Inthe Matter of Expropriation \u2014FOR THE\u2014 7/1 Opening of Pantaleon street Fl from Sherbrooke street to St.Jean Baptiste street

York, and who are owners of some high-class thorough-bred and other stallions, as well as some choice brood mares.Messrs, Charles and Thomas McKeon, the gentlemen above named, have been here for the

championship of the world and a $1,000 purse, The first race was skated ten days ago.1t was three miles, and was won by Hagen very handily.To-day\u2019s race was one mile, at which distance: McCormick and his backer were confident that he would prove to be more than a match for the famous Norwegian.But it seems in point of speed, as well as endurance, McCormick is no match for Hagen.The latter won practically as he pleased after half the distance was finished, There weru about 3,000 persons present at the Normannia rink when the men got way.The track was 4} laps to the mile, wd in splendid condition.McCormick did nov start well.He anticipated the word and started before the shot was fired.He collected himself and started to return, but just then the report of the starters gun rang out on the cold winter air, and with an effort McCormick turnedand started.He was a little tardy, however.For the first two laps he was a trifle ahead of Hagen, and on the third he fell behind, and as Hagen passed the crowds he was heartily cheered.On the fourth lap Hagan was considerably in the lead, and when the mile was completed he passed the starting point fully a quarter of a lap ahead of his opponent.The exact time was very close to 3 minutes and 1 second, one timekeeper giving it at this, and another at 3 minutes and 3 seconds, while another maintained it was made in but a fraction over 3 minutes.The third race between Hagen and McCormick will occur next Monday.AQUATICS, Will be a Centreboard.The race for the America\u2019s Cup is attracting the interest abroad which was predicted, but Mr.Carroll\u2019s new boat is also much commented upon.The Glasgow Herald in x recent issue says : \u201cThat Mr.Carroll's yacht is not likely to be the victor in British waters seems the more probable, that her hull greatly re- vembles the American Volunteer, which so tompletely upset British ideas of yacht de- tigning, It may be assumed that this new cutter with wu weighted centreboard will be a maller displacement cutter than the Volun- leer, and very probably a much faster vessel.Thanks\u2019 to the existing measurement rule and the development of the centre- oard idea.British designers have a great deal more expericuce of the build which would meet Mr.Carroll's yacht on something like even terms, \u201cOf course, the new cutters to be built for the Prince of Wales and Lord Dunraven will be centreboards, with weighted hoards and with overhangs similar to Mr Carroll\u2019s yncht.The success of the Queen Mab has Cen & revelation to British Yacht designers, but it is to be

the door and handed Benton a card which read: \u201cCome downstairs, I want to ace you, {Sig.) Jack McAuliffe.\u201d Benton sent down word that he was in bed, but would be pleased to receive the caller in his room, McAuliffe at first refused to £0 upstairs.but Ed.Stoddard, a man-about-town, who ac- compamed McAuliffe, urged him tuaccept the Invitation, whereupon they went up.Benton was sitting on the edge of the bed, ready to welcome his old friend when the pair walk into the room.McAuliffe walked straight to where Benton was and without any warning struck him a severe blow over the left arm with a heavy cane he carried, and then began to bang him right and left.Stoddard stood at the door and when Benton made an outery he locked the door.McAuliffe encouraged, knocked Renton upon the floor end Legan kicking about the head and body.The uproar caused a commotion among the guests in the hotel and they began to flock to the room.Policeman Fitz- gibbons was called.Hegained entrance to the rooimn and separated the fighter from his toy.Benton refused to lay any complaint so the officer could do nothing, but take McAuliffe from the room.Haggerty during all this Lime got at a good distance from McAuliffe's reach.McAuliffe then turned his attention to him and picked up a chair with which to strike him, whereupon Haggerty pleaded that \u201che had done nothing.\u201d McAuliffe then dropped the chair and left the room.After he had gone Benton feebly picked himself up and looked himself over.He found that his left arm was bably cut, both his eyes Were discolored and his forehead swollen.He said he did not expect the onslaught, and McAuliffe\u2019s act was the act of a coward.McAuliffe, he said, was sore because he had refused to back him and .he (Benton) knew ail his weak points in the ring.McAuliffe, it was said, was under the influence of liquor.John L.Makes Serious Charges Against a Former Backer.New York, Dec.27.\u2014Former Champion Pugilist John L, Sullivan arrived in this city from Washington yesterday and immediately went to the Vanderbilt Hotel, He will open a week's engagement at the Windsor Theatre this afternoon.The ex-cham- pion did not appear to be at his best.In fact, he looked very much dejected and appeared to have been celebrating Christmas in an old fashion way.His eyes were dull and heavy, his face unshaven and his general appearance that of à man not altogether pleased with himself.He seemed ns if he were staggering under a loud of mental trouble and the stimulants that are supposed to make a fellow feel better at times.No one would have taken Lim for the bold, daring and fearless defender of the world\u2019s heavyweight championship of several months ago.Many persons who saw Sullivan enter the hotel thought that his unhappy mood was due to the sudden attack of iilness he had in Washington on Saturday morning.They imagined that he was still ill and worrying over the statement of Dr.R.A.Neale that he was suffering from fatty degeneration of the heart and was liable to drop dead at any moment.That Dr.Neale\u2019s disagreeable information was not the cause of his dejection soou became #pparent by aremark the ex-cham- pion et drop.e said: \u201cThe doctor don\u2019t know what he is talking about.I may have a little fat around my heart, but I'll\u201d never drop dead from it.\u201d HE MAKLS SERIOUS CHARGES.There was something more heavy than fat around John L.\u2019s heart and it soon came to the surface.He had carried it there for many long days and nights too long, he said yesterday, and he was determined that others should know of it as well as himself.I happened to be one of the few who were present when Sullivan declared, tor the first time since his fight with Corbett at New Orleans, that he attributed his defeat to other than his conqueror\u2019s superior fistic ability.He told me that I was at liberty to publish his reasons for his believing that he was not fairly treated by the men in whom he had the utmost confidence at thé time, but whom he has since discovered played him falsely.He asked me for the present to withhold the names of the accused for personal reasons.Sullivan said, taking a locket from his watch chain: \u201cSee that locket ?Well, I open it and show you my mother\u2019s hair, Well, I swear by that Lit of hair that I was foully treated in New Orleans when I fought Corbett.He never defeated me.No, never.Others did win the battle for him.I wasn\u2019t John L.Sullivan that night.After the first two rounds I couldn\u2019t see Corbett.I didn\u2019t know where he was.I was in a trance.That leg,\u201d continued Sullivan, pointing to his left, \u2018has never been the same since I fought in New Orleans, and the other is little better.Corbett didn\u2019t knock me out.He knocked me down, butT couldn't get up.My legs would not hold my body.They were owerless and had evidently been doctored.Pas treated badly\u2014yes, shamefully.One man, who pretended to be my friend and backer, I have found out to have been an enemy in disguise, He is responsible for my defeat.He was supposed to have had a part of my stake.As God is my judge, that man did not have a cent bet on me.He backed me with money belonging to another man, while he posed as my financial ally.This same man once tried to hit me with a mallett.I have never done a man a wrong turn in my life, and I never will.L have always acted fairly and squarely with everybody, and for being honest I was rewarded by being thrown down.Itisa fact and I can prove it.BEATEN FOR THE BENEFIT OF GAMBLERS.\u2018One of the funny features of my match with Corbett was the Californian\u2019s backing.It is funny how that stake was made up, and funny how certain people acted in the matter.The combination in New Orleans at the time of the Olympic club\u2019s carnival was McAuliffe, Dixon and Sullivan.I was the biggest favorite of the three, and was beaten for the benefit of the gamblers.It is strange how many people who knew I was going to win several days before the light backed Corbett.They were all smart people who backed the Californian.They were gamblers and people who generally knew they were going to get a big run for his money.Well, you can say for me I will be champion of the world again.Corbett can\u2019t beat me.I will fizht him once more.I can get lots of backing for another meeting with the man who got the championship from me.I won't have to go to sporting men to get the money cither.There are half a dozen business men who will back me for any amount against Corbett.They know I wasn\u2019t right when I fought him'in New Orleans.Notwithstanding all reports to the contrary, I am just as stroug as I ever was in my life, with the exception of my legs.fast as I used to, but I can fight well enough to beat Corbett.WHEN HE WILL AGAIN MEET CORBETT.\u201cI intend to fight Corbett after my theatrical engagements are over.I will go to Hot Springs and train there for two monts.1 will boilall the bad stulP out of my system, harden my muscles and be as fit to fight for the chumpionship almost as well ns ever in my life.1 would like to say a word about ny training for my fight with Corbett.I wanted a glass of ale with my meals, but was denied that pleasure.Now, I like a glass of ale after eating, and it made me sick to go without it.Frequently at meal time I didn\u2019t care whether I ate or not.I had no appetite.As I could not get ale, I stole bottles of lager and drank themina farm house.\u201d ; Sullivan made the above statement in the presence of a friend, who advised him not to talk for publication, as it might injure him.Sullivan replied:\u2014\u2018\u2018It can\u2019t do me any harm.I know what I am talking about.\u201d - BOWLING, A Match at the M.A.A.A.Last Night.The fourth team of M.A.A A.\u2018bowlers challenged the third

Louis Belle- e, Joseph Chaudonnet and Joseph Hurteau.In the first place it was unanimously resolved that a request should be made fo the Harbor Commissioners that a buoy be placed on tho north side of the Channel at St.Antoine, where so many vessels havo grounded; another red buoy should be placed at the upper art of the \u201cBar a Rodier,\u201d another red Louy at he head of the new cut at Cap a la Roche, and a black buoy below the two buoys at Gran- dines, toshow the widest place for turning a large steamer in that locality.We would remark that a steamer with deep draught is ften obliged to anchor at this lace, waiting or tide enough to pass the Ticheliou, and must 0 off ayuin without havin enough room to Urn a large steamuer's bow down stream.Secondly, we would remark that there should be changes made regarding the meeting of vessels at two places between QueLec end Montreal, namely : Two vessels should be allowed to meet in the straight part of the channel known as \u201cBar a Rodior.\u201d Thirdly\u2014Two vessels should be allowed to pass one another or mcet, from the u per part of the Iron Shoal and continuing on the line of the Nicolet Traverse beacons, Fourthly\u2014There should also be permission Jiven to pass and meet at Port St.Francis, Mr.Smith, the Deputy Minister of Marine, das Written our president asking our opinion garding the buoys at Point aux Trembies.e mentions having seen Mr.Bulmer about our asking him the ¢ anges mentioned above.\u2018We respectfully submit this report and trust that you Board will take it into consideration, (Signed) DaAvID PERREAULT, Secretary.\u201d Heretofore, by by-law No.1334, vessels were not allowed to pass each other at Bur- 8-Rodier, Iron Shoal and Port St.Francis.Vessels coming up the river had to give way to those pruceeding downwards.This 1s not considered to be any longer necessary, pwing to the improvements in the ship shannel.The considération of the report was left over to a furture meeting.Real Estate Exchanges.F.W.Evans has sold to W.F.Lewis lot 282.123 Cote St.Antoine, area 10,848 feet, fronting on Cote St.Antoine Road, vacant, for $3,862.26, or 31 cents per foot.A.W.Stevenson has sold to Mrs.G.W.Bradley lot 874-19 Cote St, Antoine, area, 13,374 feet, vacant, for $3476.80, or 26 cents per foot, > end Halifax 24th Dec., for Liverpost ait 2200, intermediato and steerage as wel] as carry AQ passengors.I > Rates of first cabin passage, Summo 1852, to Londonderry or Livern easo or Quebec: y Srpool from Montreal By Steamship Parisian, $50 to $100 to $185, return, By Single;

chickens were fairly active at somewhat easier prices, The demand for produce was much better, and altogether the market showed a very fair activity.In good roll dairy the trade was very good at about 22c.Eggs were plentiful, and goodfstock held at about 250 to 30c met with an active demand.Strictly fresh stock, held at about 40c to 45c, was not.much called for.Values on a whole do not show much change from last market day, owing to the fact that little business was done, and therefore prices did not have much chance to fluctuate.We quote: Corn, perbag.ccovvveinennnn.$000 to $1 00 Oats, per bag.\u2026.075to 080 Pcas, per Lag.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.0% 110 Buckwheat, per bag.9PBro 105 Beans, per bushel.00 to 100 Vegetables.Potatoes, new, perbag.we 085t0o 090 Carrots, per bag.040 to 045 Cabbages, new, each.065to 007 Onions, new, per basket.\u2026 0331 050 Celery, Per doz.eeveeneuiiernnnns 015to 020 Fruit.Lemons, per doz.0 20 to 0 30 Æpples, new per b: 2 50 to 4 00 Oranges, Jamaica.025t00 30 Poultry and Game.Turkeys, young spring.per Ib.012 to 0 13 Chickens, perlb.\u2026.011 to 0 12 Fowls, perlb.011 to 0 12 Ducks, perib.oe .012to 014 Ducks, blk, per pair.wo 090 to 100 Ducks, red head, per pair.0 00 to 1 50 Ducks, common wild, per pair.O0 45 to 0 50 Qualil, per dOZ.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.1 censun es 275 to 3 Plover, per doz.40 to4 25 Snipe, per doz.\u2026.\u2026 80to325 Partridges per brace.045to055 Geese, perth.LLL.009to0 11 Hares, per pair.coo0veee 020 to 0 30 Produce, Dairy butter, perlb., 020 to 022 Print, choice.,.« 025 to 030 Eggs, strictly fresh, per doz.040 to 0 45 Eggs, packed, per doz.020 to 025 Maple sugar, per Ib.008to0 15 Cheese, cream, per 1b « 010to 013 Honey, perib 0220000000 0 12èto 0 10 St.Gabriel Cow Market.The receipts this morning at the above market consisted of only 10 cows and § calves.Very little demand was shown for cows, and up to 11.30 two had been sold;

short but interesting sketch of the life of Mr.Wilson Barrett : At the age of twelve, unsuccessful parental speculations forced him out into the world to earn his own living.He went to London to work at the first labor that presented itself.Busy-like he became fascinated with the stage, and his English biographers describe somewhat touchingly how he paid his last sixpence to sce Charles Kean play Henry V.at the Princess\u2019 Theatre\u2014-\u2018\u2018probably the best investment,\u201d said the Pall Mall Gazette twenty five years later, \u201c\u2018of a career in which good investments canuot have been rare.\u201d The following day vouug Barrett made that resolution of his, so wonderfully fulfilled, that le would seme day control that very theatre and play Hamlet on those very sacred boards.Finally at the age of fifteen he made his first ap- peaarnce in his native county, at Halifux in Yorkshire, where he played small parts at the modest salary of five dollars a week.Hard work brought experience and at least progress, it not yet success.Struggling days and unresting toil brought him at last as leading man into the stock company at Aberdeen.It was here that he met the beautiful and good woman and eminent actress Miss Caroline Heath, and the ue- quaintance ripened into a friendship that blossomed into love.Miss Heath, who enjoyed the close intimacy and friendship of or Majesty the Queen, became Mrs.\\Vil- gon Barrett, and the union opened new channels in the actor's march to fame.In 1879 he took the Court Theatre, London, and here introduced Madame Modjeska to the English public, À little later and he opened the great epoch of his life by taking over the management of the Princess\u2019 Theatre, London, since which time the name of Barrett has become « household word among English and French lovers of the stage.MISS MAUDE FULLER'S CONCERT.Auother of Signor Vegara\u2019s vocal productions is to be heard in the Natural History Society rooms on Jan.12.The concert- given this time is Miss Fuller, a charming young lady, possessing a voice of remarkable beauty, which can be classified as one of the few phenomenal voices in existence.This fact was proved by the singing of that young lady at the concert given by Miss Pelletier, when the great aria from the Prophet was sung in such perfect style and artistic finish that the public and press pre- diet for her a brilliant career, either on the operaticor concert stage for which Sig, Vegnra is training her.Among those who will take part are Miss Hollingshead, Mrs.Flint and Madame Heinberg, Messrs.Kelley, Dupuis, Duquette, Lalonde and Fuller.Judging from the merits of this charming young alto and those who will assist, the concert will without fail prove a musical and financial success, which this young Canadian artist well deserves, Wanted, old Pianos and Organs at C.W.Lindsay\u2019s ware- rooms, 2270 St.Catherine St., in part-payment for new instruments.THE C.JM.B.A.A Grand Council

Notre Dame street west, were startled by the report of firearms, and investigation divulged the sad fact that a young man named John 1.Kenna, 19 vears of age, living with his widowed mother at No.181 Barre street, had fatally shot himself between the eyes.He was in the kitchen, and when his mother ran out of the bodroom adjoining she saw her son struggling in the last throes of death, and before she could reach him he had breathed his last.Kindly neighbore at once telephoned for the ambulance, and the body was taken to the Notre Dame Hospital, where an inquest will be held this morning ut ten o'clock.The cause of the suicide is à mystery.Friday Hammering a Wife Beater.Depury High Constable Lambert arrested last evening a man named Joseph Beaudoin on a warrant charging him with aggravated assault upon his wife.The warrant was taken out in July last, but was suspended on Beaudoin promising better behavior, This promise he has not kept and a long series of asraults culminated in the most brutal of ail last evening, after which he threw her out into the streets.The poor woman crawled to a neighber and begged admittance, which was readily granted and her wounds attended to.The husband of her neighhor, who is called Jacob, became so incensed when he saw the extent of the poor woman's injuries that he then and there set out with the firm intention of doing up Joseph, which he did most effectually, as when Beaudoin was escorted into the Central police station last evening shortly after ten o'clock, he presented a pitiable spectacle, his face being scarred all over and two \u201c lovely black eyes\u201d added to its adornment.Joseph will appear before the police magistrate this morning, Why not have a Piano or Organ to show your visitors on New Year's Day, when they can

Carefully Discuss This Question, A largely attended meeting was held last night of members of the Dominion Alliance and representatives of the various temperance organizations and churches in the Y.M.C.A.Hall.The meeting was called to consider the question of better aldermen in next vear's council, and to take action as might be deemed necessary.Mr.J.R.Dougall was voted to the chair, and among the others present were the Rev.EM.Hill, ex-presideut of the Ministerial Association, J.H.Carson, secretary of the Dominion Alliance, Rev.Drs.Hunter, Shaw and Williams, Rev.J.Fleck, Rev.John McKillican, Major E.L Bond, AM.Featherstone, Dominion Councillor, R.T.of I., R.Sanley Weir, B.C.L., S.P.Leet, B.C.L., A.J.Ellis, A.Walsh, N.W.King, R.J.Latimer, S.S.Bain, J.M.M.Duff, Samuel Finlay, Wm.Tees, Rev.W.Harris, R.Seath, H, B.Ames, R.Geo.Hood, J.H.MeKeown, Moses Parker, A.Shaw, Prof.Kneeland, John Cunningham, Geo.MctGurry, J.H.Porteous, W.H.Rosevear, Rev.E.de Gruchy, James Patton, Wm.Hill, of the Point St.Charles Crusaders, and other representatives from the city churches, Dominion Alliance, Good Templar Lodges and Royal Templar Councils.Mr, Carson read a letter from the newly organized \u201cVolunteer Electoral Association,\u201d offering to cooperate in any action the meeting might take, After preliminary remarks by several speakers, Major Boud moved, and Mr.C.Morton seconded, \u201cThat it is desirable to immediutely organize for active work to secure the nomination and election of men who are of high moral character, and who can be relied upon to advocate such reforms as shall tend towards the moral and material welfare of our city, and that this organization be known as the \u2018Municipal Reform Association of Montreal.\u201d \u201d This was carried.Several speakers gave their ideas of what the objects of the association should be, Mr, Tees remarking that he would like to see the Roman Catholics represented in the association.Another resolution, proposed by A.M.Featherstone and seconded by Major Bond, said : \u2018\u201c That in the opinion of the meeting the management of the municipal affairs in the City Council called for the atrongest condemnation.That efforts to secure the promotion of the moral welfare of the city hud been neglected or practically ignored by the council.That while they acknowledged the valuable services of several members of the council, municipal atlairs had not been admumistered with an eye to the public interest.They believed that very many aldermen who now represented the various wards no longer represented the confidence of the electors, and that the meeting strongly favors that such legislation be passed that a general election of the entire council be held early in 1893.\u201d The Rev.Dr.Williams, Rev.James Fleck, S.P.Leet, B.C.L., A.M.Feather- stone and Major Bond were appointed a committee to nominate officers.Several speeches were made; Mr.Weir advocating public ward meetings, the Rev.John Mekiltican the co-operation of French and Irish Catholic societies, and Mr.A.S.Ellis that more facilities be given by employers to employees to exercise their right to vote.The following officers were then elected on motion of the nominating committee : President\u2014DMor.S.Findlay.Vice-presidents\u2014 Walter Drake, H.B.Ames.Secretary\u2014J.H.Carson, Treasurer\u2014S.J.Carter.Executive committee\u2014Edgar Judge, Wm.Tees, H.Morton, 8.P.Leet, E.L.Bond, C.8.J.Phillips, R.J.Latimer, D.H.Howard, J.H.Cayford.D.Walson, Malcolm Thompson, R.J.Freeman, with power to add to their number.The other motions adopted were as follows: Acknowledging the letter from the Volunteer Electoral League, and instructing the executive to organize immediately the various wards of the city; expressing the hope that employers afford to their employes full opportunity to exercise the right of franchise in municipal affairs; and asking the executive to take means to secure a united meeting of all the various city organizations to discuss the matter of municipal representation.Exchange that old Piano at (.W.Lindsay\u2019s, 2270 St.Catherine street, and have a

HERALD.WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1892.| THE POST OFFICE.A Number of Improvements Which Will be Welcomed.The internal economy and general usefulness of the Montreal Post Otlice has of lute been vastly improved.Of this fact no greater proof is needed than the promptness and dispatch with which the Post Office staff has this year handled the tremendous smount of matter known as the Christmas mails, which, during the week past, have been coming in and going out in such quantities.; That there was plenty of room for improvement, the public, more particularly the mercantile classes, were fully aware, and now that it has not only come, but that even still greater improvements are promised, they are devoutly thankful.; Knowing that the rushes of Xmas mail matter Lad been tremendous and desirous for the information of Herald readers to gain an insight as to how these by mails were 30 expeditiously handled, a Herald reporter yesterday afternoon visited the big building at the corner of St.James aud St.Francois Xavier strect, and through the courtesy of the officials, he was not only permitted to make a tour of the Post office trom basement to attic, but was also given information that will be valuable to all readers.\u201cYes,\u201d said one of the officials, \u201cthe amount of Christmas mail matter handled at this office during the past few days has been enormous, and yeu it has all been delivered, so far, without complaint.This is largely due to the new and improved system of collection and delivery that lias now been in operation for a couple of weeks, and which it is still the aim of the Postmaster to further improve.Then there are now five deliveries daily in what is classified as the business section of the city, which extends from the Canadian Pacific Railway depot, at the Quebec gate, in the east, to Bonaventure depot in the west, and from the river to Craig street and St.Lawrence street as far as Mignonne street, and also the whole of Victoria square.These deliveries are made at S a.m., 9.45 a.m., 11 an, 2 p.m., and 3.30 p.m.In the residential sections, excepting Point St.Charles, Hochelaga, and St.Jean Baptiste wards, there are four deliveries, at 7.45 a.m., 10 a.m., 12 noon and 3 p.m.In the business section of the city there are now seven box collections daily, the wagons for the purpose leaving the general office at 8 a.m., 10 a.m., 12 noon, 3 p.m., 4 p.m., 6.30 p.m.and 9 p.m., and it is intended to increase the number of collections to 10 daily.As is well known, the boxes located at different parts of the city have been greatly increased of late, but considerable complaint has been made of the need of indicators, showing the hour of the last collection and the hour for the following one to be made.The boxes are now being altered, as quickly as possible, and in a few days all of them will be fitted with the necessary time cards.When this is done the men making the collections will at the same time adjust the figures, and cause for complaint will thus be removed.In the interior arrangements of the office the changes are many and beneficial, The total staff of the office, including thefclerks of the several clusses, the sorters, carriers, etc., now number 220 men, of whom sixty- six are regular carriers.The first department visited by the reporter was the big delivery and sorting room.Here the afternoon staff.was hard at work and everything was moving with the regularity of clock work.This department, large though it is, is too small for the requirements of this branch of the service, but in a few weeks this will be remedied b removal to the third flat of the building, now occupied by the inspector and his stuff.The stone department and the mail clerk\u2019s rooms of several departments such as the registration, and money order departments, in the future will lave to be reached by two large clevators.In the despatch and delivery departments the most notable improvements pointed out were the new \u2018\u2018sorting circles,\u201d in which the mail matter for the city carrier delivery is distributed.On a new distributing hank now hangsa bag for each of the 66 carriers, and into these go the letters and papers for each man, so that when the bags are received at the out stations, the men have simply to take the one bearing their number, and at once start their \u201cwalk.\u201d The walks have also been equalized, and each man covers his own particular round daily.Another good feature is that heretofore the parcels received at the office were handled by the several carriers, to whose districts they were addressed, and as these had all to go to the general delivery wickets the carriers had to make out tlie parcel cards themselves.Now, one man, specially appointed, handles all the parcelsard directs the cards, and the carriers never see the parcels, so that if anything should go wrong or astray the responsibility lies with one man, instead of being divided among 66 as heretofore, Among the improvements intended is an entire change and renewal of the drop letter and paper boxesand chutes which will enable the clerks to handl?the matter with much greater facility .The upper flat of the building has been completely altered during the past few weeks.This flat has been now divided into many departments.Spacious public and private offices for the Post Office
