peculiar suit has been settled out of court.It was brought by W.Gray, hotel keeper, of Ottawa.against David Ranger, for the sum of £5,000 for alienating his wife\u2019s affections, and has been unexpectedly settled by the plaintiff, Gray, leaving wife, house and home and making for the old country.Gray, before he left, made over all his property in the hotel business to Granger, and he

the extra clerks in the post office department were notified that their services were to be dispensed with, It is the intention to let every one go who had not passed the civil service examinations.A \u20ac elega- tion of citizens waited on the Premier to.duy in behalf of some ot the dismissed employees of the railway department.They pointed to the case of one man who had been over ten years continuously in the department, yet he was treated as a temporary hand and discharged, although he had a family depending upon him for support.They also spoke of the great injury to the clerks as well as the business men of the city to have so many thrown out of work so suddenly at such an untimely season of the year.It is understood that the work inthe railway department since the discharge of the clerks has been falling behind, and that if some of the dismissed are not taken back new hands will have to he employed.A HALF-BREED AFTER INDEMNITY, Mr.Gunn, barister of Prince Albert, is here to conduct the claim of Champagne vs.the Queen in the Exchequer court, the heariug of which 1s set down for Monday next.It is probable, however, that the suppliants will ask a further adjournment on account of the absence of a material witness, Mr.James Metcalte.M.P.Champagne was one of the North- West halfbreeds convicted at Regina of complicity in the rebellion of 1885, and claims indemnity amounting to about $17,000 for the looting of his store at Batoche by the federal forces, The evidence of Mr.Metcalfe, who in 1885 acted as Government auctioneer at Winnipeg, is required to prove the sale of one of Champagne\u2019s horses used by General Middleton during the campaign, and disposed of at auction at Winnipeg, the proceeds being turned over to the Government.The defence is that Champagne was a rebel, and that the looting of his property by the soldiers, even if proven, is not an act for which the Government is responsible.GENERAL CAPITAL NOTES.The shareholders of the Ottawa

DENOUNCED.A SEVERE REBUKE FOR HIS CONDUCT TOWARDS MGR.SATOLLI.Rev.Dr.Conway, the Well-Known Catholic Editor, Merciilessly Applies the Lash \u2014Satolli\u2019s Notice.Chicago, Jan.11.\u2014Rev.Dr.John Conway, editor of the St.Paul North-Western Chronicle, arrived in this city yesterday en route to Furope.Dr.Conway, speaking of what he terms Archbishop Corrigan\u2019s \u201cLetter of moral assassination,\u201d said to-day : \u201cI have read very carefully the astounding revelations made last Saturday.The whole country stands aghast at the shocking ropagandism which was taking place rom New York.For motive \u2018and for method it is as diabolical a piece of Machiavellism as has ever disgraced the pages of history.A man holding one of the highest positions in the Roman Éatholie church, ostensibly the friend of the church, and of its head, tries to discredit the Pope\u2019s own representative, and to reverse the pol- iny of the Pope in reference to the Roman Catholic church in this country.Wh Archbishop Corrigan\u2019s own letter, writt to a Chicago layman, was photographed and published, it took away all possibility of denial on the part of the New York conspirators.\u201d A NOTICE FROM MGR.SATOLLI.Washington, D.C., Jan.11.\u2014Ecclesiasti- cal secrecy has been broken by the publication of this authoritative statement: \u2018The papal delegate, by order of the Holy Fathet, has sent out an important notice to the archbish~ps to be communicated by them to the bishops of the United States.It is a mandate from the Pope that each bishop shall remit within the month of January in a sealed letter mailed to the Pope, either directly or through the intermedintory of the Legate, his personal conscientious opinion of the propositions on the school question, which Archbishop Satolli laid before the New York conference of Archbishops in November last.\u201d ARCHBISHOP CORRIGAN DEFENDED.New York, Jan.11.\u2014The Rev.Father Lavelle of the Cathedral has spoken for Archbishop Corrigan, who is ont of town, in answer to the published statements that the suppressed disagreement between Archbishops Ireland and Corrigan was due to the latter's opposition to the Knights of Labor and his un-American support of Cahensleyites.Father Lavelle said : \u201cYou may positively put down such statements as false.Archbishop Corrigan is an American of the Americans and a Catholic of the Catholics.For instance, on March 30, 1887, the papers printed a memorial presented by Cardinal Gibbons to the Pope regarding the Knights of Labor.The statement was made in that memorial that but two out of the twelve archbishops voted to condemn the knights.The two whose names have frequently been mentioned, although I do not care to mention them, live over 1,000 miles from New York.\u201d \u201cIn regard to Cahensleyism,\u201d continued Father Lavelle, \u2018\u2018the metropolitan of New York has always been a determined and active opponent of these principles and all efforts to introduce the system into this country.\u201d THE FIRE RECORD.A Disastrous Blaze in Chateauguay, N.Y., Causes a Heavy Loss.[Special to The Herald.} Huntington, Que., Jan.11.\u2014 Fire at Chateanguay, N.Y., destroyed a large block of buildings on the east side of Main street containing a drug store, two hardware stores, grocery, jewellery, general stores, telephone office, Masonic hall and several private dwellings.The plate glass on the opposite side of the street was destroyed by the heat.Loss $150,000, only partly covered by insurance.The fire is due to an explosion in the drug store, Winnipeg, Jan, 11.\u2014 There was a serious fire at Miami to-day, which destroyed several buildings, including the Massy Harris Company warehouse ; Young's drug store, Chubb\u2019s grocery, Dr.MePhillip\u2019s office and several other buildings.Tilsonburg, Ont., Jan.11\u2014The Matheson House, a large three story hotel, was burned at 2.30 this morning.The guests, about 40, all eseaped with their clothes and some without.Thefire spread with such rapidity that in less than half an hour the building and contents were totally.destroyed.Mr.Matheson, the proprietor, is insured for $5000 in the Commercial Union on the building and $1,- 500 in the Fire Association of England on contents.This, however, will not begin to cover his loss.The fire is said to have originated in the furnace room.Chicago, Jan.11.-\u2014Over a quarter of a million dollars worth of property was destroyed by fire in seventy-five minutes this morning.The fire was in a five story stone front building at 765 to 7S1 Halstead street, owned and occupied by John York as a dry goods store.The fire originated in the basement from some unknown cause.The south wall fell over upon a three story building owned by C.R.Lett, literally tearing out the inside of the structure.Two fast pacing horses belonging to Dr.Frank Linden, and valued at S1,100, were crushed by the falling bricks.Mr.Blaine Much Better.Washington, Jan.11 \u2014Dr.Johnston paid his good-night visit to Mr.Blaine shortly before 10 o'clock.Me remained with his patient about a quarter of an hour, and on leaving the house said to & reporter that Mr.Blaine had passed an uneventful day and was resting easily to-night.Dr.Johnston\u2019s confidence in the condition of his patient is shown by the fact that he will not visit him again to-night.THE NEW CABINET M.Ribot Has Not Sufficiently Purged the Ministry.Royalists Say They Will Interpellate Him on the Subject\u2014How the Change is Accepted in Different Circles\u2014Continuation of the Investigation into the Panama Swindle.Paris, Jan.11.\u2014There is a strong feeling in the Chamber of Deputies, as well as among the general public, that M.Ribot has not yet sufficiently purged the ministry of those who, whether innocent or guilty, have been under suspicion in connection with the Panama scandal.The public de- wand is strong for a thorough investigation without any hampering influences, and for a ministry free from the breath of scandal.THE ROYALISTS ARE ACTIVE.1f M.Ribot should fail to explain to the satisfaction of the Chamber the reasons for the changes which have been made in the ministry, the royalists will interpellate him on the subject.The leaders of the Royalist party in the Chamber of Deputies came to this decision at a meeting held last evening.They will also take occasion to ask why the recon struction of the ministry was not more thorough.The royalists have shown greatly increased activity within the past 24 hours, and the authorities appear to be in possession of some new and important information as to their designs.There has been considerable telegraphing between Madrid and the ministry of foreign affairs, and, while the object of these communications is kept secret, enough is known to make it certain that the French legation in Spain is keeping a most careful watch on Royalist intrigues beyond the Pyrenees, and that an equally careful watch is being maintamed on Royalist plotting in Paris, The announcement that Gen.Saussier was to remain on the active list as military gov- ervor of Paris, after pussing the age of retirement, is construed as an indication that the government means to be prepared for any emergency.Gen.Saussier is considered the inost retiable man in the army, and would be invaluable in the event of public disturbance.MOW THE CHANGE IS TAKEN.The Debats congratulates M.Ribot on breaking the bouds which have attached the ministry to the Radicals, and advices Ribot to'break other bonds which are not conductive to good administration.The moderate Republican organs accept the new ministry with good will, while the Radicals are dissatistied, and urge an appeal to the country.The Monarchists assert that the new cabinet is powerless to dominate the situation.M.Ribot\u2019s decision to accept M.Bur- deau\u2019s declination of the Ministry of Marine has caused a decided improvement in the situation.With Burdeau removed from the Cabinet, it is believed, there will be no difficulty in the new ministry securing the support of the Chamber, especially should such an acceptable person as Admiral Ger- vais take the place.CONTINUATION OF THE PANAMA TRIAL.The trial of Charles de Lesseps, Marius Fontaine, Baron Cotiu, and M.Eiffel, was continued to-day.once procecded to examine M.Fontaine, wlio said that shortly aîter the formation of the Panama Canal Co.he was placed in charge of the company\u2019s business with the press.He detailed what his duties were, and gave much valuable information regarding the bribery of newspapers to prevent hostile attacks upon the company, and also to prevent the publication of matter that would have shown the true condition of affairs on the Isthmus of Panama.Fontaine stated that he had held his position as manager of the company\u2019s press affairs until 1885, when the exactions of newspapers became so heavy that he was compelled to abandon the post.Co It is reported that M.de Freycinet, ex- Minister of War, and M.Floquet, ex-Pre- sident of the Chamber of Deputies, were examined by M.Franqueville to-day in connection with the Panama churges.The two statesmen were not under arrest or accusation, at least in name, but were present as witnesses, although of course liable to accusations should their acknowledgments justify such action.COTTU AND EIFFEL EXAMINED, Cottu was called upon by President Peri- vier to explain his connection with the bribery and corruption of officials and others.Baron Cottu declared his duties as a director of the Panama company were merely technical.He dealt exclusively with the internal administrative work of the company.Interest in to-day\u2019s proceedings was centred in the \u2018examination of M.Eiffel, the contractor.The questions put to him by the court resulted in ively fencing between the President and M.Eitfels lawyers, who raised objection after objection to the in- terogations.Finally M.Eiffel admitted that he had cashed checks for 12,000,000 francs, which had ostensibly been drawn to pay for machinery, while he had actually xpended only 1,500,000 francs for that purpose Responding to further questions, M.Eiffel said that he bad given two million francs to M.Hebrard to secure the contracts with the company and two million francs to Baron de Reinach in order to secure the latter's influence in his favor with the Government.M.Flory, the Government accountant who recently examined the accounts of the Canal company.was called to tes.ify upon the conclusion of M.Fiffel's examination.He stated that M.Eiffel had been paid 69,- 000,000 francs on his contract, and that he made a profit of 33,000,000 francs on it.A REPROOF FOR MR.EIFFEL It required considerable questioning to bring M.Eiffel to the admission that besides the two million francs given to M.Hebard and the two million franes given to Baron de Reinach, two million had been paid by him to a certain contractor, whose favor, like that of Hebard, and Reinacli was dispensable to success.Presiding Judge Perivier then asked: \u201cWhat did do with the six millions received by you for taking to pieces aud shipping to the Isthmus, and there recenstructing machinery, which as a matter of fact, you never even supplied in this country #\u2019 \u201cI kept that swum,\u201d replied M.Eiffel, lamely, \u201cbecause it formed part of wy remuneration for the risk 1 was undertaking.\u201d \u201cBut your contract provided that you receive 30 percentage to Le paid to you within 30 days of the date of sending the orders.Now you took 2.875,000 francs from the Forges et Chanters de Mediterrane as a percentage, although the order was never executed, Do you think that this sum belonged to you?\u201d \u2019 \u201cIt was not my fault that this order was not delivered.I, myself, have often paid on contaacts which were never executed.Besides this contizgency was contemplated by the general candidates of the transaction.\u201d \u201cI consider such a transaction void,\u201d replied Judge Perivier severely, \u201c\u201cSince it was the result of an error to call it nothing mor: The Prosecutor General will tell you more about t is to-morrow and at the subsequent sittings of this court.\u201d M.Eiffel quailed visibly under these wards and the audience rose trom their seats President.Perivier at | to get à better view of the manner in which he bore the reproof.M.LAUR NOT IMPLICATED.The statement recently gublished that the house of the Boulangist deputy, A.Laur, had been searched by the police in connection with the Panama inquiry and that incriminating documents had been found, proves to have been entirely without foundation.lu can be stated that no such search was ever made and that no documents in any wav compromising to M.Laur, or showing that he had Any connection whatever with the Panama aflair, are known or supposed to be in existence, M.Laur is at present in America.The members of his family deny that his residence has been searched, and in this they are corroborated by the police authorities.THE CHAMBER'S INQUIRY COMMISSION.The commission of inquiry appointed by the Chamber of Deputics to examine into the Panama scandal held a meeting to-day, and heard the testimouy of the members of the Lottery Loan Commission.The evidence went to show beyond any reasonable doubt that M.Sans Leroy was to a great extent guilty of the charges that have been made against him.M.Deramet moved that the committee hear the evidence of M.Arton and M.Dela Firse, the liquidator of the Societe des Etudes.This motion was agreed to.M.Jolbois and Pelletan moved that the committee inquire into the contracts.They declared that 77,000,000 francs had beon virtually stolen, and light on the subject was necessary.This motion was also agreed to.THE NEWS FROM HALIFAX.Assignment of McDougall & Son\u2014Meeting of Five

Penitentiary.Oswego, N.Y., Jan.11.\u2014Last night while the prisoners at the county jail were eating their supper in the corridor, they induced William Wright, the turnkey, to leave the apartment on some pretext, and as he closed the door a big burley prisoner named Michael Hennessy assaulted him with a knife, and a large gash was cut in the back of his head.Hennessy then knocked him down, and with two other prisoners, Walter Butler and William Rheodt, pounded and kicked him until insensible.They quickly took away his keys, and making their way to the yard, scaled the fence and fled.An alarm was sent to the city policy and Hen- nesy and Butler were recaptured after a search of several hours.Hennessy resisted arrest and was severely clabbed by the officers.After they got him inside

INSTANT= LY BY A PREMATURE BLAST, The Catastrophe Occurred in a Mine at King, Near Como, Operated by the Union Pacifle Railway.Denver, Col., Jan.11.\u2014Particulars of ons of the worst mining accidents in the state have been received.The Union Pacific own and operate coal mines at King, four miles from Como, where they employed 300 miners.Yesterday afternoon a premature explosion occurred in one of the chambers where 28 miners were at work.A terrific explosion occurred, or as the miners call it & \u2018\u201c\u2018must explosion.\u201d The shock killed 27 of the men, only one escaping, he being nearly at the entrance.The bodies were not recovered until midnight, and on account of their blackened condition only 11 of the 27 are recognizable.A special from Como, Col, gives additional particulars of the explosion in the Union Pacific mines near there.The accident was caused by a premature shot.It blew out the tamping and, igniting with the dust, caused the explosion.The 27 bodies were found in the chamber where the premature shot exploded or in its immediate vicinity.Evidently the victims were killed outright by the explosion or were knocked senseless by the shock and asphyxiated by the deadly gas.The shaft was surrounded by crowds of women and children, the relatives of the miners, and the heart-rending scene may be imagined when body after body was brought out and laid by the side of the others and the work of identification cnmmenced.There were ubout 300 people ut Kir gs, nid the heads of all the families are employed in the mines, which give work to about 200 men.Later\u2014It is now learned that only 24 workmen, instead of 27, as previously reported, lost their lives in the accident at the Union Pacific coal mine.The following is a complete list of the killed : John Toll, fire boss ; Robert Blythe, fire boss: Francisco Romeralla, Peter Ross, Charles Derroie, Angelo Julian, Angelo Dominico, Andrew Anderson, Lewis Meliante, Por Nordini, Celestia Comsilli, Joseph Donna, Angelo Marino, Mike Richi, Antone Antone (3rd), Donilla Francia, Joe James, Stephen Corti, Anton Jackibini, Charles Anterilli, Antone Prelie, Mike An.tonill, Tom Ross, Joseph

BEN BUTLER DEAD The Well-Known American Lawyer and Politician Passes Away.He Took Suddenly I11 Early Wednesday Morning, and Before Medical Assistance Could be Procured, He was on the Verge of Dis- solution\u2014A Sketch of His Career as Lawyer, Politician and Soldier.Washington, Jan.11.\u2014Benjamin F.Butler, the lawyer, statesman, politician and millionaire manufacturer, died at his Washington residence, No.220 New Jersey Avenue, South East, at thirty minutes past owe o'clock this morning.The General had tlways, to a greater or less extent, made his residence in Washington, although many of the scenes of his successful ventures have been located elsewhere, During the present winter a case which had been decided against him in the highest courts of the State of Massachusetts, and in which he took an appeal to the United States Supreme court, has demanded his almost constant residence in this city.À few weeks ago the case was decided against him.Whether or not the loss of this case, to which he had paid such close attention, brought anything more than the sorrows of a casual defeat will not be known.Shortly after one o\u2019clock this morning the General was attacked with a fit of coughing, which awakened the man-servant who always occupied an adjoining roum.He at once hastened to the General's bedside and asked him what the matter was.The General, meanwhile, had gone to the bathroom adjoining, whither his valet hastened and offered his assist ance.The Gemeral mentioned that his expectoration had been discolored with blood.He did not appear to think seriously of the matter, however, and after his valet nad aesisted him to bed he said, \u201cthat\u2019s all, West ?you need do nothing more,\u201d and apparontly went to sleep.He bad lain on his bed but a féw moments, however, when his heav breathing again aroused alarm.Mr.Lauler Dunp, his nephew by marriage, who resided in the same house, started out in search of medical assistance.It was fully fifteen minutes before he could secure aid, and when he returned with Dr.Luze, the assistant of Dr.Bayne, the family physician, it was seen that the General was already in extremis.The doctor so informed his two nieces, Miss Stevens and Mrs, Dunn, who were at his bedside, and death ensued almost immediately.The interment will take place at Lowell, » in the family lot, where lie the re.foains of his wife and his son Beujamin, the tier of whom died in 1876.SKETCH OF HIS CAREER.Benjamin Franklin Butler was born at Deerfield, in the State of New Hampshire, on Nov.5, 1818.He graduated at Water.ville College in 1838, and in 1841 commenced the practice of law at Lowell, Mass.Heearly took à prominent part in politics on the Democratic side, and in 1853 was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives, aud in 1859 to the State Senate.In 1860 he was a lelegate to the National Democratic Convention, which met at Charleston, South Carolina.The couvention broke up without making any nomination for Lhe Presidency, and when a proportion of the delegates reassembled at Baltimore, Mr.Butler wunounced that a majority of the delegates {rom Massachusetts would take no further part in the proceedings of the Convention, tor the reason, among others, that they \u201c* would not sit in a convention in which the slave trade, which by law was piracy, was advocated.\u201d In that year he was Democratic candidate for Governor of Massachusetts.He had before held a commission as Brigadier General of Militia, On April 17, 1881, he marched to Annapolis, Md., with his regiment and was soon afterwards placed in command at Baltimore, and subsequently at Fortress Monroe.Here some slaves who had come within his lines were demanded by their masters.He refused to deliver them up on the ground that they were \u201ccontraband of war,\u201d whence originated the term \u201c\u2018contrabands,\u201d by which slaves were frequently designated during the civil war, Karly in Febuar , 1862, à combined naval and military attack upon New Orleans was planned, Butler to command the land force.The naval force, under Farragut, passed the forts below, and were virtually in possession of the city on May 1, when the troops came up, and Butler took formal possession, and governed there with great vigor until November, when he was recalled.Late in 1863 he was placed in command of the department of Virginia and North Carolina, and the forces here were designated the army of the James.When General Grant was moving towards Richmond in July, 1864, Butler made an unsuccessful effort to capture Petersburg, In December, 1864, he made an ineffectual Sitempt upon Fort Fisher, near Wilmington, N.C., and was then relieved of his command.In 1866 he was elected to Congress by the Republicans of Massachusetts, snd was repeatedly re-elected until 1878.In 1871 and in 1873 he was an unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of Massachusetts.In 1877 he left the Republican party to re-enter the that of the Demecrats, and was their candidate for Governor of Massachusetts in 1878 and 1879, but was defeated.Again their nomines in 1882, he was successful in the general Democrat c victory of that year.Lowell, ass, Jan.Il.\u2014Gen.Butler's funeral will probably be held in St.Aune\u2019s Episcopal Church Saturday afternoon.The

They don\u2019t know the first principle of resi.And you were tired too, my dear, Ican see that from your forehead.\u201d The elderly gentleman rose hastily from the table; one glance at the tell-tale mirror convinced him that while sitting in judgment over that railway assemblage he had been vigorously employed at his old-time trick of rubbing his forehead the wrong way.\u2014Chicago Mail.IN MOURNING FOR THE WEATHER.Character as It Crops Out at the Bargain Counter.Feminine thrift was strikingly illustrated by a womaa at the linen counter of a dry goods store uptown the other day.She wore a black dress trimmed with crepe and a crepe bonnet, both a little rusty.By and by another more prosperous looking woman came in and greeted the mourning one effusively.In a minute she recoiled a step and said with a marked change of voice: \u201cOh, my dear Mrs.G.\u2014\u2014! I really didn\u2019t notice at first! Your dress and bonnet! I had not heard.And so soon after you had gone into colors! It is very sad.None of the children, I hope?\u201d The first woman looked puzzléd for a minute.Then sho laughed.\u201cOh! You mean my black dress.It\u2019s nothing, dear.I'm not in mourning,but I always wear these on cloudy looking days.It saves my new clothes, you know.\u201d And then she turned her attention to

Hill and Congressman Trazey are both muking preparations to try and force through Congress a bill to build u ship canal through New York State.The proposed route is up the Hudson and through the Erie Canal.The argument ko bo used is that the compietion of the Canadian canal will injure our commerce.Should this Canadian watercourse detract from the transportation of the Erie Canal as far as the Western freight is concerned, there can be no doubt that New York will fall irom the position which it holds in Western business.The new ship canal will provide for a waterway 200 feet in width, with an average depth of 20 feet.\u2018The cost will be 150,000,000, but- the benelit to be derived, it is claimed, will justi- {y it.The question of military supremacy on the great lakes is also coucern-

our columus yesterday, and the remark was made that in this as in other departments of food sup- Ply our consumers are largely dependent on foreign countries.Iu is interesting to discover that there has been established in London an agency for the stale of new-inid eggs from what has not yet become a foreign country\u2014Ireland.English breakinst abies can obtain, in neat boxes each containing a dozen, samples of this form of Irish produce, which only left the farms on the preceding day, at the by no means exorbitant price of three-halipence or one puny three larthings each, according to size and weight.Que peculiar characteristic of es is their remarkably porous quality and the rapidity with which they get hifected by any strong-smelling article, such as ouions, or even oranges, which zuppens to lie beside: then in transit.Provision is made by the Irish agency against apy danger arising from this source by the insertion of each egg into wl air-tight and grease-proof parchment bag\u2014a device which also protects it from the effects of chance collisions.If any one of the eggs should Lappen to get broken, the contents will remain in the baz.and will not injure its neighbors.Perhaps few are aware of the enormous dimensions which this trade has already veached.Every year there are exported from Ireland 40,000 tons.Ii we take erch ton to represent 16,000 eggs, this will make annual production of our neighbor acress Ht.George's Channel amount to the splendid total! of 640,000,000.Having by euch means enriched herself at our expense, surely s#v should no

splendid arrangements which are being made for the fitting out and furnishiug of the two new Cunard steamers, the Campania and the Lucania, will be the electric instaliation.This important adjunct to the equipment of the vessels nua been entrusted to the weli-known and enterprising firm of Messrs.Siemens brothers and Co., Limited, London.There are four sets of generating plunt in each ship.Each tousists of a Sicmen: dynamo coupled direct to a Belliss engine which runs at the rate of 280 revolutions a minute, and gives an output of 42,000 walts.This is capable of supplying the 1,850 16 candle power incandescent lights \u2014iu- cluding eight large reflectors ol eight lights each lor working cargo\u2014through- out the ship, and, in addition, a power- tul eearci-light for facilitating the vavigation of the ship into ports, the picking up of moorings, and scouting in time of war, The large switchboard for controlling the lights consists of thirtcen sections so arranged that each may be connected with any of the four dynamos.From these dynamos and this large switchboard there runs through cach ship an enormous length of wire\u2014 not less than 40 miles.The supervision of the work is in the hands of Mr.J.T.Bottomlc®, F.RS., mephew of Lord Kelvin, and consulting electrician to Glasgow University, who has been appointed by Sir John Burns, chairman of the Cunard Company, in order that everything in connection with the department may receive the best attention.BURIAL OF PEONS IN MEXICO.Than Alive.When in Mexico four years ago, while in Leon, I made a visit to Celaya.I will never forget the sight they showed me when leaving.In Mexico the peons have to pay $25 (that is the lowest price) to bury one of their dead, and after three years the bones are dug up and laid by in what I would call the place of souls, so that they can have the boom for others.This place of souls is about 40 feet square, 18 feet high, three walls of brick, no roof.Now tins inclosure was full of skulls, legs and arms, and Friend Warburton and another Mexican, his friend, handled them as you would shoes iu a store, I could not stand the sight and smell.I imagined that I felt the taste in my month for several days.I asked Mr.Heyser how it was that the country did not provide a place for the poor Peons to rest, If they paid $300 they could have a lot.Where could a peon, with 25 cents per day and a family of little peons to feed and clothe, save $300?The most of the peons hire a coffin to be returned for a small sum, but those that can afford it buy a cheap black coffin.\u2014 William

capitalists for the purpose of building electric railways and lighting Canton and other cities of the celestial empire by electricity.Ife has now succeeded in his efforts, and fourteen million dollars, raised by American and Chinese moneyed men will be invested in the enterprise.Sang says that he experienced heavy obstacles in interesting American capitalists in the stupendous enterprise, Lut a far greater obstacle was the opposition which he met from the lower classes of hig countrymen, caused by their animosity against anything savouring of progress.All obstacles, however, have been overcome, and before many months Canton wiil have electric lights, electric cars, and perhaps a telephone system.The promoter says that the Edison Company and several eastern fitms have been contracted with to supply the motors and wire.Five hundred thousand dollars have already been spent on machinery, and perhaps as much .more will be invested as soon vs the electric light is in full operation.State permission for an electric railway will be obtained if possible \u2014London Transport.Why He Smiled a Sickly Smile, One of the grain operators on the Chicago board of trade was

J.E.MACFARLANE, Manager, 11 St.Sacrament Streok EE - _ as a PS SE SOS \"ze : MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, 'HURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1593.a D TERS ole PRACTICAL WOMAN'S RIGHTS, A Lesson in Street Car Etiquette Taught by a Boston Lady.It was between 6 and 7 o'clock in the evening and the street car was crowded.A good many of the passengers were workingmen, and those who were fortunate enough to nave a seat, even if it wae a very narrow one, seemed to lose half the pleasure of it in watching the door open every time the car stop- ed.It reached Eliot street, however, without an invasion of the fair sex.Then five or six of them got on board.The majority of the newcomers were young and pretty, and of that type who seem to make a special study of the best methods for making the male patrons of street cars feel uneasy, if they happen to be sitting.One of the arrivals, however, was a fnother-looking woman, whose every feature indicated \u2018that she had \u201ca will ol her own.\u201d She might have been taken At first for a prominent member of a woman's rights society, but those who formed this opinion of her when she entered the car jelt ashamed of themselves & few minutes later.Several of the young girls had selected the beats they meant to have when they had ogled their present occupants out of them, and one young man with a careworn look, who knew he was a victim, but did mot want to give up the battle, decided to compromise rather than acknowledge his defeat.He got up and oifered his seat to the motherly-looking woman.: Instead of quietly dropping into the vacancy, as is usual is such cascs, the woman turned and said: \u201cNo, thank you, sir.I am as weil able to stand as you are; you had better keep your seat.\u201d Then, warming up to the subject, she continued: \u201cI cannot understand this nonsense of giving up everything to women, as if they were poor, weak creatures, unable to stand.Here is a car full of men who have been working hard all day and want a rest on their way home, but they are supposed to give up their seats to a lot of young girls who have nothing to do but saunter through the stores all day long, and have not foresight enough to #0 home bejore the cars become crowded.I think it simply ridiculous.It is a good while since I have been on a street cur at this time of the day, and I propose, so far as I am concerned, to leave the seats to those who have the best right to them.\u201d The young man looked confused.a number of the older men shook their heads approvingly, others looked on in wonder, and the girls, for whose benefit the remarks were apparently made, secm- ed undecided whether to giggle or pout.They cast longing glances at the vacant seat, but not one of them had the cour- nage to drop into it.The car stopped ; a young woman got on board.She looked at the deep rud cushion, then at the girls who were hanging on the straps, and scemed unable to understand it.A smile went around the car, and for several blocks there was a vacant seat in a crowded electric.\u2014Bos- ton Herald.FROM THEIR POINT OF VIEW.Two Girls of the Period Discuss Various Types of Men.When a pair of congenial girls of the period go eailing up and down the town they often come across the full-rigged young man.Then one Bays to the other: \u201cI wonder if that sweet creature\u2019s mother knows that he is running around just with himself.It would be too dreadful if those gorgeous clothes should become lost\u2014just the outfit to take one to the theater or vo a ball! It's so jolly to have the latest style for an escort ; doesn\u2019t matter a bit if it doesn\u2019t know much.There\u2014he is looking our way\u2014don\u2019t let him catch your glances, dear, for just a little encouragement makes that sort of ornament feel that girls fall in love with him on sight\u2014 the idea!\u201d Of course the congenial agrees with the sentiment, and adds: \u201cBut he\u2019s the kind to show a girl off to advantage at a swell party\u2014jus like @ handsome opera cloak or any other modish attachment.Yes, dear, the dud- ish young man is certainly handy on occasions, and he is amusing when he isn\u2019t silly.Of course we would be quite unhappy gvithout him!\u201d The: fous some, and the first speaker single# but aman to the right, saying: \u2018Now there\u2019s an earnest, anxious kind of individual.I'll venture the chocolate creams that he works hard and isn\u2019t stingy.Ie doesn\u2019t put on a scallop, but he is so spick-span in his get-up that I'll warrant he never made mud pies as a boy.He's the kind that has a dash of chivalry in his attentions so girls.But he will work himseli into an untimely grave.\u201d .**Yes, dear,\u201d the congenial remarks, \u2018and then his widow may teach school or go into the ready-made suit stock for a living.He makes a perfectly lovely {riend\u2014that\u2019s all!\u201d and she sighs dol- lorously over the depiction.The first mate suddenly brightens, saying: \u2018There's a happy sort of being at your right, with whom one might become socially familiar without fetching up against his convictions that he is adored becanse one likes a mild lark.Ho's the comfortable sort.But, dear, when he is somebody\u2019s husband he will be dreadfully shiftiess, He will wear untidy clothes.He will feel that well enough goes, No, dear, his wife may never have a hope of moving into lar- rer quarters.\u201d 2, F Tue congenial nods assent and indicating a certain direction remarks : \u201cNow.tuere\u2019s an affair that\u2019s too trim! Sce, he is so scrimpy that he eaves the leather on his hecls by gingerly walking on his taes.His wife must turn her gowns over and back again.He'll count out the lumps of sugar for her tea\u2014oh, goodness me !\u2019 and she shudders with dismay.The first mate shudders in sympathy and softly says: ; \u201cWhen ind a sincere, educated, cultured, hendsome, rich young man who has an elegant air and wears stylish clothes, and will not allow even the cold weather to brush roughly against me\u2014when I find that man I shall fall desperately in love with him and shall do my level best to get him for a husband.\u201d And the congenial joyously says: \u201cMe, too, dear.\u201d ; They do mot seem to find him when they go \u201cfull rigged\u201d sailing up, and down the town.He is probably scarce.But then you may never know what Sat of man a girl might marry trom Wiat she says \u2014Chicago Mail.Paying Servants Wages.I always pay servants their wages Promptly, never making it n ce them their earnings, er er ees Ellen Howe in a, practical article the J he Art of Ke ping Servant.\u201d in pi ES Ladie.Hsm Journal.When Lu Pi NW 6 rvant I fix her wages establisheen price p r week, becau.e that of notie tn necessary length of time requins * change that ach of ua shall qu re.hould a ecrvant choose to leave foit sly Without notice, she would for- 1 ¢r pay for th> un:erved time, and Tone !

Starving Our Children.When we bee our house plants looking stunted, putting forth iew leaves and no flowers, we stir the soil in the pots and enrich the earth, writes Elisabeth Robinson Scovil in à helpiul article on **The Children\u2019s Luncheon\u201d ÿn the January Ladies\u2019 Home Journal.When we sce a Child looking paie and thin, we say.if we know something of physiological chemistry: \u201cToo little aitrogen- ous food.\u201d Ii we are simple folk, averse to long words, we remark: \u201cThat child seems hall starved.\u201d It is the truth, however we express it, and a wrong is being done to the child that the fact is not recognized and remedied by whoever has the daily oversight of its meals.The unconscious victiin may seem to eat a sufficient amount of food, while it does not get enough of the proper kind to furnish the nourishment the body requires.Towels.Their texture or quality must be a question oi taste and means, but, if possible, have a generous supply and oi good size.Large towels are much better for bathing purposes and more economical than swall narrow oues, which come only in inferior quality and wear out quickly with little use.While their first cost may be a little more they will last longer, and be more satisfactory in the end.It will be economy to buy them now, as most large stores have \u201c clearing sales\u201d aîtert he holidays when they can he bad at a little above wholesale prices.They are more easily softened and whitened by being bung out in cold weather.Use roiler towels in bathrooms and children\u2019s rooms, as well as in the kitcnen.They are more easily kept in place, and more evenly soiled than the separate towel.Children are apt to leave a towel on the floor or washstand, or use one instead of à washcloth, but a roller towel is safe irom all such neglect asd misuse.Huckaback toweling lasts longer than damask or diaper.Crash is desirable, and, as it comes in all grades, may be utilized, mot only for bathroom, but kitchen roiler towels.Turkish toweling is desirable, as it wears well, is pleasant to the skin and with its rough surface helps to keep the pores open.,À hiut as to dish towels.These are too often made of coarse, harsh linen: when new, they will not wipe the dishes Iry and after washing they are apt to retain a greasy smell, Time is saved hy using thos e¢that are softer and finer.using those that are softer and finer.The silver linen.as it is called, that is barred with blue and red, wears aud washes well, leaves no lint behind, and it is as economical as any.\u2014The Housekeeper.WHERE ARE THE EAR-RINGS?Made-Over Into Brooches, Lace-Pins, Cuff Buttons, &c.The striking difference between the novel of & couple of decades ngo and the neve) of the present is not altogether in the fainting tendencies of the fair heroine.The lady who played that part in the good.old-fashioned story used to wear divers kinds of jewels \u201csunk {pom the tip of her soit ear.\u201d Diamonds
