of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets.Vaxcouver, B.C., Jan.22.\u2014XMr.Henry Norman, special commissioner, who is making a tour through the different colonies that form the British Empire, arrived here last night, and today carried on a conversation over the Canadian Pacific Co\u2019s wire.At one end ofthe wire was Mr.Hearst, of the Æxruminer, San Francisco, and at the other end Mr.Stead, of the Pall Mall Gazette, London.There was an unbroken telegraphic circuit extending from San Francisco to New York of 4,600 miles, the distance from New York to London via Canso, N.S., being 3,500 miles, or 8,100 in all.The telegraph lines making up this circuit ran from San Francisco to New York via Vancouver, B.C.and Montreal, connecting at New York with the Mackay-Bennett cable.The telegrams exchanged between San Francisco and London were therefore only repeated at New York, Canso and Bristol, England, the latter place being the landing place of the Mackay- Bennett cable.The object of this experiment was to demonstrate the tact that London and Vancouver were practically within speaking distance of each other,which would in case of war complications in the East be of the greatest IMPORTANCE TO THE BRITISII EMPIRE.This unbroken line of telegraph also demonstrated the fact that the Canadian Pacific Company\u2019s system of telegraphs could be successfully maintained during the most rigorous season of the year.That the railroad could also be kept open, Mr.Norman had just had the very best evidence as he left Winnipeg at the time the American transcontinental roads were suffering from the recent blizzard and arrived here with but few hours detention en route.At 1.12 p.m.Vancouver time, but 9.12 London time, Mr.Norman asked Mr.Stead a question receiving a reply in five minutes.Then Mr.Stead asked, \u201cHow far off are yon from London ?\u201d in four minutes the reply flashed back, \u201c6,900 niles,\u201d which with 1,200 to San Francisco added makes a grand total of 8,160 miles.The longest circuit ever worked and the greatest feat yet accomplished in telegraphy.The conversation was kept up for a couple of hours, Mr.Norman relating some of his many experiences, among other things he said, this is something more than aa exhibition of telegraphic prowess, his trip had been such REVELATION OF THE REALITY OF THE EMPIRE, that he greatly desired to do something to exhibit this in a striking form, and the very kind permission and assistance of the managers of the magnificent telegraph system of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and of Mr.Ward, manager of the Commercial Cable Co, of which all the world knows, enables us to do this.I bave sailed in an English ship, the \u201c Polynesian,\u201d 3,000 miles across the Atlantic, with an English cable below, trav- clled by an English railway 3,000 miles through primeval forests, passing the greatest lakes in the world, across the splendid prairie wheat fields of the empire, over four colossal mountain ranges to here where I can see the Pacific ocean as I write, and in a few days I shall start for a 4,000 miles voyage, in another English ship, the \u201cParthia,\u201d over another ocean.Yet I am able here to report myself to you and talk as quickly and easily as if we were speukinz through a tube in Northumberland street.Tle trip is transcontinental and the Saxon yet spoken \u201cas an American poet wrote.Indeed 11,000 miles, nearly half round the- globe, and still the Union Jack will be over head, and time and space are annihilated for 7,000 of them.Another year and another cable will annihilate the rest.Is not the wire which unites us a most striking symbol of our imperial unity and an unfailing foreteller of the federation which will one day girdle the globe, and is not the click of this key heard in two hemisplieres more eloquent than all the arguments of the empire ever penned.\u201d FROM THE DOMINION CAPITAL, HaltonCounty Election-Congraiulating O'Brien\u2014Savings Bank Statement\u2014 Banks in Liquidation\u2014Dominion Railway Commission.[SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD.| Orrawa, Jan,

in fact, while sales are easily made at 23c, buyers rarely bid above that, though small lots have reached 233c.Medium to good grades plenty and slow.Low grades scarce and wanted at firm prices.Rolls very dull, with very little really fancy here.Cheese hus found a quiet, and to many of the trade a rather disappointing week, Shippers failed again as investors in large blocks of stock, the looking around and occasionul negotiation resulting as a rulein little more than a picking up here and there of cheap goods in which a margin for profit seemed to exist, the valuation on the fancies appearing to exceed most limits.The home trade too has been gradually shrinking up somewhat, and for the first time in many weeks we have found some of the best equipped houses complaining over the slow character of the distribution and the impossibility of at all times securing top quotations.Yetthere wasnoacknowledg- ment of weakness, but on the contrary a universally firm holding of all grades on a basis of about the former general range of quotations and no open indication of an effort to realize.In brief, it was just one of those markets where no one could indicate a desire to purchase and obtain accommodation unless willing to submit to previous plane of cost, yet quite as certain that any effort to realize upon a round parcel of stock, no matter how good or fancy the quality, would meet with success only through a considerable modification from asking rates.It looks a3 though matters might remain in about that condition until some clearer determination can be arrived at regarding the chances for an export trade.Operators generally, both buyers and sellers, have expressed themselves quite warmly this week over the tone of the last general article in the Utica Herald.After allow- ins two or three days to elapse, we find very few willing to retreat from their first expressions of condemnation of the article in question, which briefly assumes, on a basis of allowing only 6,500 boxes per week for the period from January 1 to May 1, that tliere is a possibility of 10,000 boxes remaining on hand at the latter date, and hence danger of a suddon collapse and disastrous wind up for the season.A portion of the trade admit that they do not calculate that thd market wil\u2019 =o out with a flurry of extra strength\u2014indeed, is more likely to shade off somewhat; but the ferald\u2019s figure of 76,597 boxes stock on hand May 1st last is characterized as ridiculously large, and the estimates of weekly consumption quite as much in error through being far too light, so that the premises being thus wide of the mark, iu2 deductions must be equally so.Desirable parcels of State skims are becoming less plenty, owing to the picking over the stock has experienced since the first of December.The freight engagements call for 17,505 boxes to date, of which 12,577 are through shipments, with 3,000 additional of the latter held over until next week.British Breadstuffs and Provision Markets.Fancy ColoreQ.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.\u2026.010000000 Finest White.Fine.oes Medium.ccccouesces Liverpool, 11.50 a.m\u2014The wiicat niur- ket is quiet, but steady;

the whole present month of January being considered as the decisive one in the premises ; but even then there will be no end of guess work, for not even the wisest amongst the wise is able to foresee how the tobacco will develop itself later on on the drying poles and whether it will cure properly.Less favorable advices regarding the crop have recently been received from Santa Clara, owing to the prolonged drouth, which has done a great deal of harm to the growing plant in that locality, compelling a large number of growers to give up their fields and to engage themselves as workmen on sugar estates in the neighborhood.\u2014Herana Weekly Report, Jan.14.GERMAN COAL IN THE SPANISH MARKET.German coal producers are making great efforts to obtain an export trade, especially in Spain.They assert that their productions both in coal and coke will cost the consumer sixpence per ton less than English goods and be superior in quality.The latter assertion, however, is not borne out by a comparison made recently by a large manufacturer in the north of Spain, and reported in one of the leading Spanish commercial The result of a careful analysis was that the German coal was found to contain 3 per cent.of water against 1 per cent.in the English, 1.5 per cent.of sulphur against 0.28 and 9 per cent.of ashes against 7 per cent.This does not look as if German competition in Spain is likely to be very serious so fur as coal is concerned.THE SOUTH AUSTRALIA WHEAT HARVEST.It is expected that the coming wheat harvest in South Australia will average about eight bushels to the acre.Unless wheat can be got at the outports at three shillings a bushel there will, it is feared, be Lut little inducement to shippers to buy.In Western Australia the planters of the Northwest have telegraphed to Sir Henry Holland that they do not want responsible Government, but that they require separation\u2014which is, we should have thought, responsible Government\u2014 or Imperial interference, for several reasons, the chief of them being the excessive export duty on shale, and tue heavy import duty.\u2014 British Trade Journal.COTTON MARKETS.New Yorx, January 21.Corrox \u2014 Dull.Uplands, 10gc;

Seals once having taken to a place will never desert it unless frequently alarmed.Here they periodically return to breed, and thence the old ones never wander far.Three expeditions, of two nights on each occasion at most, are made yearly and as only one attack is possible each time, great caution and experience are necessary to ensure a good bag.The oars have to be muffled, and the island approached according to the wind; for seals are not the sleepy creatures one associates with the 200, but post videttes in commanding positions, and on the slightest alarm there is a rush and a splash and good bye to your prospects for that night.Having disembarked in silence, the men, armed with heavy clubs somewhat resembling though longer than a policeman\u2019s staff, are posted at intervals of two or three yards on theglacis by which the seals invariably come and go.When all is ready everyone begins to shout, and then comes a rush like a thousand sheep and thwack, thwack, right and left, as hard as you like and the more the better, followed by a splash, and everyone makes for the boats and shoves off.For the old bulls, often six feet and seven feet long, are very dangerous and will often follow a boat, gnawing at the gunwales.For purposes of commerce the old ones are absolutely worthless, and attention is only paid to the smallest and youngest.We started at one am,, the writer continues, for the seal island.A glorious moon made every object as clear as day, and in about half an hour we found ourselves alongside about as diflicult a landing-place as can well be conceived.Imagine, then, a rather steep glacis, as slippery as a slide and extending without one friendly foothold for about twenty yards.But our nimble companions lost no time in the ascent and in less time than it takes to write it we found ourselves seized by sturdy arms and in position at the top of the glacis.\u201c1loo, hoo!\u201d intermingled with shouts such as none but Afrikander lungs could possiby emit, then rent the air, and then a roar such as I can only describe as that of a hundred oxen, followed by a scampering of what seemed a thousand feet and a literal avalanche of seals came tumbling past us and dashed furiously into the water.Personally, I was to excited to do jus- sice to my club; I struck about, regardless of all instructions, indiscriminately at old and young that came within my reach, and was delighted to find when the counting began that I was the proud exterminator of four.The experts had, of course, done better, and our nights work for thirty-two clubs was represented by 316 seals.To make for the boats and shove off was the work of an instant; and, having laid-to for a short time in case of attack, we again landed, collected our victins and returned to the guano island.The night's work, however, was by no weans over; and after a hearty supper the skinning process began and continued till well into tlie afternoon.The preliminary preparing (or braying as it is called) of the skins is somewhat peculiar; and as the fur (known as sealskin) is an undergrowth, all the bristles have to be removed\u2014i.e,, pulled backwards from inside.In the very young animals these bristles have not appeared ; hence the value of the seal the younger he is, and the absolute worthlessness ot the old bulls.On the following night the seals were to be left in peace; but on the Thursday we repeated the attack, with much the same experience and an addition of 207 to our bag, making a grand total of 523.\u2014\u2014 - TELLING BAD PAPER MONEY BY EAR.A bank cashier tells a Kansas City Star reporter that the best way to tell a counterfeit bill is by sound and feeling.\u201cTake a bill firmly between the thumb and index-finger of your left hand and pull it quickly through your fingers like this.Now listen to the sound it makes.Itis not just like rubbing silk, and neither does it resemble a paper sound closely.It's a noise that is too peculiar tjadmit of à description.\u201d \u201c Do they make counterfeit money 8» near like the criginal that you can\u2019t tell the difference ?\u201d .\u201c You can\u2019t tell by looking at it.Itis ouly by the sound and touch.Now listen to the sound made by this counterfeit $20 bill.You see, that's a slick noise, something like pulling glazed or oiled paper through the fingers.À child could tell the difference between that bill and genuine one.But look at it and you i a .will think your eye is on something that THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, MONDAY, JANUARY 23, 1388.vould pass muster lor $20 worth of groceries.\u201d \u201cWho taught you this business ?\u201d \u201c O, my first lesson was given by an old man who has been all over this country and Europe teaching the business.He has in his possession over a thousand specimens of counterfeits.He obtained them from the authorities of the different Governments.He has no peer in the business, and every expert in the busiuess owes his knowledge to this old man.\u201d : - DIABLERIE.In all countries there is a large literature clustering around the name, history, character and qualities of his Satanic Majesty the Prince of Darkness.One of his synonyms is Old Harry, which Mr.Oliphant, in \u201cQueer Questions,\u201d says may be a corruption of the Scandinavian Hari, one of the names of Odin, or another form of Old Hairy.Gld Nick is derived from thie river-god Nick or Neck, though Butler, the author of \u201c Hudibras,\u201d says that it comes from Niccolo Machiavelli ! And Old Scratch must be taken to be derived from Serat, a \u201c house or wood demon of the ancient North.\u201d \u201c Diable a quatre,\u201d says Mr.Rozan, in \u201c Petites Ignorances,\u201d has come down from old miracle plays in which, at first, one demon was enough; but enterprising managers soon added a second, and finally some Irving or Harris of the day crowded his stage with four devils.Sainte-Beuve calls Henry IV.a \u201cce- diable-a-quatre.\u201d The French kings were choicein their oaths; each had his own.We remember how, in \u201cQuentin Durward,\u201d Louis XI.iterates \u201c Pasques Dieu!\u201d even to weariness.Henry 1V.took a certain portion of the person of St.Gris u.der his special protection.Who St.Gris was appears very doubtful, perhaps St.Francis, founder of the Gray Friars; perhaps an imaginary saint invented as the patron of drunkards, as St.Lache was invented for the lazy, and Ste.Nitouche for hypocrites.Had Henry IV.been an Italian he would have invoked the corpo di Bacco rather than the ventre de St.Gris.Io swear by some portion of the Diety or of a saint was the fashionable and wmsthetic thing in the middle ages ; true, our forefathers said pardy, which was par Dieu, but they also said tuddieu (which is tete- Dieu), corbleu (corps-de-Dieu), venire- bleu (ventre de Dieu), sam-bleu (sang-de- Dieu), and morbleu (morte-de-Dieu).So in English they said Zounds (God\u2019s wounds)s, \u2019Sblood and \u2019Sdeath (God\u2019s blood and God\u2019s death).Henry IV.of France is said to have introduced the curious oath, jarnicoton! into polite conversation ; he had been in the habit of saying je renie Dieu (I deny or blaspheme God); his confessor, the Father Coton, a Jesuit, who refused a cardinal\u2019's hat, expostulated with the royal penitent and egged him rather to use the words je renie Coton ; hence arose the new expression.The transition of Mort-Dieu into Morbleu is seen in the following epitaph by Benserade, a wit and poet much esteemed in his own day at the .court of Louis XIV.but his works have long been justly consigned to oblivion; the exception may be this stanza :\u2014 Cisit, oui, par la morbleu ! Le Cardinal de Richelieu ; Et ce qui cause mon ennui, Ma pension git avec lui.M.Rozan also gives another short poem called the \u201c Epitheton des quatres rois :\u201d\u2014 Quand la Pasque Dieu deceda, (Louis XI.) Le Bon Jour Dieu lui succeda, (Charles VIII.) Au Bon Jour Dieu deffunct et mort Sucecda le Diable m\u2019emport.(Louis XII.) Luy deceda, nous voyuns comme Nous duist In Foi de Gentil Homme.(Francois I.) (The word duist is part of duire, an ob- golete verb, meaning to suit.) We say deuce as a mild form of devil, and the French say diantre as a mild form of diable.But not one of the philosophers can explain why the lovely freshness of early girlhood is called the beaute de diable.One would naturally suppose that the innocence of youth was utterly unlike any beauty which the author of evil could im part, and to him one would rather attribute the charms, if any, of rouged cheeks, dyed hair, stuffed bust and self-possessed manners.There is an old French proverb, Le diable etait beau guand il etait jeune, which may in some way be connected with this curious phrase, but I hardly see in what the link can consist.One of Mr.Oliphants \u201cQueer Questions \u201d is this: \u201c What was the origin of the expression \u2018Printer\u2019s Devil?\u201d He answers thus: \u201cAldus Manntius (1440- 1515), the celebrated Venetian printer and publisher, had a small black slave whom the superstitious believed to be an emissary of Satan.Tosatify the curious, one day he said publicly in church: \u201cI, Aldus Manutius, printer to the Holy Church, have this day made public exposure of the printer's devil.All who think he is not flesh and blood come and pinch him.\u201d Hence in Venice arose the somewhat curious sobriquet, \u2018Printer\u2019s Devil?\u201d + pee ee A WILD RIDE TO DEATH DOWN A MOUR- TAIN SIDE.On the 11th inst.there occurred one of tue wildest rides in Colorado down the side of a mountain that has ever been recorded in railroad history.A brief telegram recorded the casualty, but the tollowing details of the terrible ride are taken from the Denver Republican of a later date :\u2014 A serious accident occurred on the South Park Division of the Union Pacific yesterday morning.A train of ore cars was partially wrecked at St.Elmo and two men were killed\u2014Jaines Connor, an engineer, and M.Whaley, a fireman.The locomotive and four cars were wrecked.The accident occurred by the train jumping the track just as it entered St.Elmo and while it was running at lightning speed.The train of twelve cars started from the Mary Murphy mine, known as Rom- ley, londed with ore, The grade is very heavy down to St.Elmo, winding around Murphy Mountain.They had gone half a mile or more when the discovery was made that the speed was too great and the air-brakes were applied.They did not wurk effectively, nor lessen the velocity, which was becoming terrific.Every man back of the engine was sent out to fix the hand-brakes, and they were twisted as tight as muscle could turn them.Buteven this did not check the speed.\u2018The wheels were clamped tight and did not whirl, but over the glistening and frost-slippery rails the engine and cars slid like the wind, tearing around curves and over the brief straight stretches of the track.The train was beyond human control.Three miles down tle steep grade the train, with its five passengers and twelve cars of ore, plunged and leaped at sixty miles an hour.Sparks flew from the track where the almost immovable wheels struck the junctions of the rails, rast boulders and along precipitous heights the now hopeless trainmon were carried at lightning speed.Thy were helpless as well as hopeless, for to leap to one side would be but to dash to pieces aga nst the jugyed wall of rocit that tow- o - soa ve oem - i ered above them, and to jumpto the | NEW ADYINTISEMENTS, other side would mean instant death from being hurled againsttrees and rocks one hundred feet below.It was miraculous that the train did not leave the track at a half dozen places in its wild career.But it hung to the rails until the danger seemed almost passed, for around another curve and the straight track through the town of St.Elmo weuid be reached, where the grade would lessen and a stop of the ungovernable cars might be made.But this curve was not to be safely passed.The wild speed was too great.As the engine reached the point where the turn was the sharpest the wheels left the track, and with a mad plunge the iron horse went over, followed by four cars of ore.Together the iron and wood and ore crashed down, rolling over and over and piling up together in a broken heap, under which two lifeless forms were buried.The engineer and fireman, who had stuck to their posts, were crushed to death instantly.It was evident when the bodies were rescued from the wreck that the manner of their death had been like the lightning stroke.The remaining cars and caboose of the train, on which were the conductor and two brakemen, went on a short distance and stopped on a level stretch of grade.Had not the four cars broken entirely clear and left the track, the whole train would have been wrecked, and in all probability more of the men killed.Tm re if eee - COMING OPERETTAS.Rudolph Aronson has been lately flitting between Paris and London, and flirting Casino-wise with Chassaigne and Le- cocq in the one cabital and Gilbert and Sullivan in the other.The result is he has obtained exclusive American stage rights to four operas, or operattas, for use eventually in New York.Oñe is \u201cNadji,\u201d by Chassaigne, composer of \u201c Falka.\u201d This will be produced here in six weeks at the Avenue Theatre, succeeding \u201cThe Old Guard.\u201d It is unprecedented that a French comic opera should be first produced in English dress.After this premicre New Yorkers are to have it at the Casino.The scene is laid in Hungary, and the plot is the result of a pleasant union of comic business with love interest.The composition is especially rich in chorus.The Lecocq novelty is \u201cLu Valliere,\u201d which will soon be first produced at the Paris Nouveautes.Gilbert and Sullivan's new opera\u2014 which is to redeem \u201c Ruddygore \u201d\u2014can- not see light before June, and for its performance here no libretto of the dialogue nor the full words will be printed until after its production at the Casino.The subject, plot and the style of the Emusic will be profound secrets between the author and the composer until rehearsal time, so that impressions on the subject that may be cabled or written about them will be based on imagination alone.Tito Mattei, whose \u201c None Ver\u201d is world renowned, has just finished an opera on a Spanish subject, to which a name has not yet been given, and which Manager Aronson is also considering.It is Signor Mattei\u2019s first pretentious musical work.\u2014[N.Y.Herald.ee ge WHAT AM I T6 DO! The symptoms of Biliousness ars un happily but too well known.They differ in different individuals to some extent A Bilions man is seldom a breakfast eater.Two frequently, alas, he has an excellent appetite for lignids, but none for solids of a morning.His tongue will hardly bear inspection at any time; if it is not white and furred, it is rough, at all events.The digestive system is wholly out of order and Diarrhoea or Constipation may be a symptom or the two may alternate.There are often Hemoorhoids or even loss of blood.There may be giddiness and often headache and acidity or flatulenco and tenderness in the pit of the stomach.To correct all this if not effect a cure try Green's August Flower, it costs but 4 trifle and thousands attest its efficacy - __ Benjamin F.Butler\u2019s personal tax in Lowell, Mass., was $3,061.21 last year.Rese Ccghlan\u2019s starring tour last season roved to be an expensive and inglorious uxury, yet the stellar bee in her bonnet buzzes as vigorously as ever and is said to be the cause of her refusal of the chief role in \u201c L\u2019Abbe Constantin\u201d and her severance from the Wallack company a week hence.Governor Hill of New York is, according to the New York Z'imce, manoeuvring to capture the nomination for the Presidency, and in order to get it he is devoting his time and ingenuity to schemes for making the President unpopular and for creating the impression that Hill is the coming man, and not Grover Cleveland.ALES AND LIQUORS.JOHN H.BR.MOLSON & BROS.Ale and Porter Brewers, 286 St.Mary St, Montreal.Have always on hand the various kinds of ALE.AND PORTER IN WOOD AND BOTTLE.Families regul irly suppliod.#29 Orders received by Telephone.Mr.Wm.Watson, 78 Fortification Lane bottles our Ales and Porter.He is authorize to use our labels.May 2 Dow's Brewery, CHABOILLEZ SQUARE.:0: Superior Pale and Brown Malt India Pale and other Ales, Extra Dcuble and Single Stout, in Wood and Bottle.FAMILIES SUPPLIED.The following bottlers only are authorized to use our labels, viz.: Thos.J.Howard .681 & 683 Dorchester street Jos.Virtue «.19 Aylmer street Thos.Ferguson .162 St.Elizabeth street \u2018Wm.Bishop.15 Visitation street.Thos.Kinsella.118 Ottawa street 24- ORDERS RECEIVED BY TELEPHONE.WILLIAM DOW & CO., Brewers and Maltsters.Feb.23.iy DAWES & CO, Brewers & Maltsters.INDIA PALE and XX MILD ALE, EXTRA and XXX STOUT PORTER.(IX WOOD AND BOTTLE.) a + The Original \u2018 NON LITTLE Weéakive LIVER SGUASUS PILLS.BEWARE OF IMITATIONS.ALWAYS ASK FOR DR.PIERCE\u2019S PELLETS, OR LITTLE SUGAR-COATED PILLS.Being entirely vegetable, they operate without disturbance to the system, diet, or occupation, Put up in glass vials, hermetically scaled.Always fresh and reliable.As a laxative, alterative, or purgative, these little Pellets give the most perfect satisfaction.SICK HEADAGHE, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Constipation, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks,andall derangements of the stom- 2 ach and bowels, are proimnpt- 4 ly relieved and permanently cured by the use of Dr.Pierce\u2019s Pleasant Purgative Pellets.In explanation of the reinedial power of these Pellets over so great a variety of diseases, it may truthfully be said that their action upon the system is universal, not a gland or tissue escaping their sanative influence.Sold by druggists, 25 cents a vial.Manufactured at the Chemical Laboratory of WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.)

sidewalks in front of the ruins left by the great fire of Saturday morning, of which details appeared in Saturday's Heraip.The rnins, as they are at present, furnish a splendid illustration of moresque architecture.Old king frost, with the aid of the water poured on the buildings, has transformed the ruins of four business warehouses into a veritable Alcazar.The picture yesterday was well worthy of an artists pencil.Pillar after pillar turned and fretted with cornices; hanging pendants and delicate screens of fretwork presented a picture of beauty which drew from the onlookers universal expressions of admiration.The fire continued to burn Saturday long after the HeraLp went to press, and the warehouses occupied by Messrs.Lavigne & Co., Bourgoin & Heron, Canada Spice Mills, and A.and L.Furniss, wine merchants, are complete ruins.The adjacent buildings on either side are also considerably danaged from water, etc.The fire was without doubt the most disastrous that has occurred since that in the St.Lawrence Sugar Refinery.The brigade cannot be blamed for the extent of the fire, as they went through such an experience on Saturday morning as seldom falls to the lot of a fire brigade.The cold, as has been already stated, was intense, and it was solely owing to this fact that the fire gained such great headway.It was utterly impossible for the firemen to do more than they did, and considering the circumstances it is surprising that they did so well.Every circumstance was in favor of a big fire.Even the wind was favorable, and when it is known that the men were actually frozen to the apparatus and had to be chopped apart, the readers of Tue HeraLp will have some id2a of the hardships which the brigade went through.The fire continued to burn until late in the day.At twelve oclock, no doubt owing to the ice having melted around some woodwork, the fire burst out again and gave the firemen some more work.All they could do was to run the rigid hose through openings in the icy covering to the ruins and let thie water run in on the flames as it was utterly impossible to enter the ruins.The men were kept at work until fully nine o'clock, during which time occasional and intermittent bursts of flame would spring up as the smouldering fire reached and consumed some fresh fuel.At one o'clock on Sunday morning clouds of smoke and steam were still issuing from the building.The following is a comple list of firms who were affected by the fire \u2014Messrs.S.H.& À.S, Ewing, coffee and spice mills; Mr.A.J.White, medicines; Mr.J.H.Elliott, lithographer ; Mr.M.P.Scullin, manager for Henry, Johnson & Lord, and John L.Thompson, Sons & Co., propretary medicines; Mr.W.O.N.Parker, clothing, Mr.Alex.Wills, manufacturers\u2019 agent; Mr.Sabiston, lithographer; Messrs.Bourgeoin & Heron, eoffee; Mr.A.La- vigne, Dominion Art Furniture Co.; Mr.J.B.Menard, hat and cap blocks; Mr.Wilfrid Moquin, confectioner; Messrs.Lamarre & Co., publishers; Messrs.J.J.Daffy & Co., Canada Coffee and Spice Mills; Mr.William Akerman, printer; Messrs.Tetu, Circe & Co., manufacturers\u2019 agents; Messrs.Little & Lane, engravers: Messrs.E.L.Furniss & Co., wines.The heaviest losers in stock are probably the Dominion Art Furniture Company and warerooms of Messrs.Bour- geoin & Heron.The former estimate their loss at $30,000 and the latter at $25,800.The following 1s a rough estimate of the other losses: \u2014J.B.Menard, hat and cap manufacturer, 36,000 ; Wilfred Moquin, confectioner, $5,000; Canada\u2019coffee and spice steam mills, $20,- 000 : William Ackerman, printer, $8,000; Little & Lane, engravers, $4,000; Circe, Tetu & Co., manufacturers\u2019 agents, $10,- 000 - American Cigarette Factory, £10,000; Lamarre & Co., editors, $3,000, Messrs.S.H.& A.S.Ewing, proprietors of the Montreal Coffee and Spice Steam Mills, have their large stock badly damaged, if not ruined by water and smoke; Mr.W.O.N.Parkers tailoring establishment also is damaged by water and smoke.Henry, Johnson & Lord, proprietors of medicines, lose from the same causes, Messrs.Furniss, E.L.& Co., wine merchants, lose in the neighborhood of $10,- 000.Messrs.Bushnall & Co., oil merchants, sustained a loss by water and smoke of several thousand dollars.All the offices up to Place d\u2019Armes hill have suffered from the smoke.The value of buildings destroyed is placed on the assessors roll in the City Hall as follows :\u2014Mr.Bourgeouis $23,000 ; estate Henry Judah, $19,000; Joseph Pratt, $25,000; total.$67, S00.\u201cihe Fombined loss will, therefore, be about as follows: \u2014$67,000 for buildings, and on the stocks : Dominion Furniture Company, $30,000; Bourgoin & Heron, $25,800; Canada Coffee and Spice Mills, $20,000, and the others $71,000; a total of $213,300.; Against this there are insurances as follows :\u2014Messrs.Bourgoin & Heron, North British, $15,000; Liverpool, London & Globe, $4,000; Phenix, $4,000; Queens, $4,000; Quebec, $1,000, and $5,000 on building in the Guardian, Messrs.Lavigne, $12,000 (on building) Royal; $4,000, Glasgow & London ; $1 ,500, National of Ireland; $2,000, Commercial Union ;

Mr.3.L.Furniss\u2014 National of Ireland, $1,000; London, Liverpool & Globe, 31,000; Queen\u2019s, $2,000; and the Eastern Townships Corset Company $1,000 in the latter company.Mr.Wills, $2,000 Royal Canadian.NOTES AND INCIDENTS.The Salvage corps did excellent work.It spread over twenty covers in Messrs.Parker's wholesale clothing establishment, and also a number in Messrs.Ewing\u2019s and different offices.About twenty of its covers which were spread ing Messrs.Bourgoin & Herron\u2019s were buried beneath the ruins when the roof fell in.Captain Beckingham had to change his clothes four different times.The Salvage corps has torespond toevery alarm.There are only three men beside the captain, and they are greatly overworked.Here, as at other fires, they were instrumental in saving quantities of goods which without their presence would have undoubtedly been destroyed.More covers will now be required.They lost a great number of covers in the buildings that fell in.Two firemen who had stood for some time on a ladder when they tried: to descend could not do 80, as they were frozen to the ladder.They had to be chopped apart, being encased in fully an inch thickness of ice.Some kindly neighbor, whose name could not be ascertained, was busy during the morning, running among the fire men with a can of steaming hot coffee.It was most ac eptable, and in most instances he had to hold the cup for the men to drink out of, their hands being frozen to the ladder or hose as the case might be.The greater number of the men had to go home and change as many as four times and could only work a few minutes before they were again cased in ice.W.Smith and H.Benoit, two firemen, had a narrow escape during the earlier portion of the fire.They were working in the stairway of Bourgoin & Heron\u2019s building and when the wall fell in it was thought that they were buried underneath.They escaped almost miraculously, Smith being badly burned about the face and hands.He is suffering considerably and will not be able to return to duty for a month.\u2018When the length of hose burst in front of the new building (in course of erection) of the New York Mutual Life it sent out a spray of water which drenched the already chattering spectators on the corner, who in consequence went home an hour earlier than they would otherwise have done.Foreman Doolan, of the Hayes ladder, had both his hands frozen to the ladder.They are all swollen and give him considerable pain.William Brilt, ofthe Hayes ladder, had both his feet frozen, and is incapacitated from duty.Firemen Brousseau and Bouthelier were both severely frost bitten.; Fireman Johnston was frozen to his branch and his fingers frost bitten.Arthur Pelletier, engineer of No.2 Merryweather, which worked steadily for twelve hours, had both Lis ears fro- zetl Fireman Hardin, of No.13 station, was frozen numb on the Hayes ladder.He was seen by Foreman Dorion, who had to carry him on his shoulders to one of the adjoining houses.There are in all twelve or thirteen men unable to be at their work.A relay of volunteers from the G.T.R., C.P.R., and Canadian Rubber Company\u2019s brigades, took their places at the various stations.The Canadian Rubber Company brought 300 feet of dry hose to No.2 Station, which is at present on the reel.hhe insurance companies, prompted thereto by Mr.Fred Perry, decided to send round hot coffee, etc., to all the stations.Mr.Perry and Captain Becking- ham distributed this to the men in the castern section, and the Chairman and Sub-Chief McCulloch to the western section of the brigade.The hose in all the stations is wet yet, and will not be in good order for a few davs.If it is out any length of time it will freeze, so that the city will be in a comparatively helpless condition should a serious fire break out.The fire itself was, so to speak, out early yesterday morning.Some smoke was issuing from the ruins, however, all day.Two men are on watch all the time.An alarm was rung from box 134, yesterday morning, for a fire at a carpenter shop, No.197 Fortification Lane.It was put out with little difficulty.At nine o'clock, Saturday night, one of the firemen working at the ruins fell through into the ruins in the rear.He was got out comparatively uninjured.Mr.Vervais was indefatigable in supplying hot coffee to the men stationed in his building in the rear of the burning stores.The late fire and what the firemen went through is a forcible illustration of the need of supplying the men with rubber coats.Had they been supplied with these they would not have been drenched through, and the ice, as scon as it formed on the rubber, would slide off.Someone says that one of the Guardians did not act in a business-like manner at the fire.ee

Thos.Esmonde.A largely attended meeting of the Montreal branch of the League was held yesterday afternoon in the St.Patrick\u2019 Co.| Hall, the President, Mr.1.J.Cloran, in ; the chair.The Chairman laid before the meeting an invitation from the Willian {O'Brien branch of the League to cooperate in the demonstration to take place on the 1st of February to celebrate the release of William O'Brien, M.P., from the Tullamore jail.It was resolved to accept and to aid in every possible way the success of the demonstration.The treasurer, Mr.Connaughton, was authorized to forward the proceeds of the Esmonde reception to Rev.Dr.O'Rielly, general treasurer of the Irish National League of America.The Chairman then communicated the following letter received from Sir Thos.H.Grattan Esmonde to the meeting :\u2014 5 Queseo, Jan.9th, 1868.Dear Mr.CLorax,\u2014I have just returned from an enthusiastic meeting here, and, before turning in, I want to express to you my deep appreciation of your excessive kindness to me at Montreal.I am not likely soon to forget my visit to your most interesting and most hospitable city, or the many warmhearted friends I have had the good fortune to meet there.I hope some day I may be able to repeat the visit and renew the acquaintances.Perhaps you will be good enough to thank the members of the committee for me for their kind attention, which, I fear, the state of my health prevented my acknowledging adequately; and also to convey to them my congratulations at the success of the demonstration on the 4th inst., one of the most successful, by the way, I have taken part in, on this continent.With kind regards, believe me Yours truly, TTnos.H.GRATTAN EssONDE.IL Cloran, Esq., Montreal.The reading of this letter was received with applause and all the subscribers to the Esmonde demonstration were duly elected members of the League.Mr.Hart suggested that a cablegram be sent to William O\u2019Brien, M.P., congratulating him on his release from prison.It was adopted unanimously and the Chairman authorized to forward the same.A resolution was also adopted sympathizing with Mr.Edward Murphy, on account of the recent accident, and the Secretary was instructed to convey the League\u2019s sympathy to him.The meeting then adjourned.TREATMENT OF THE INSANE.Mr.Perry Interviewed\u2014Some Revelas tions and Suggestions.Mr.Perry was the other day a witness before the Quebec Commission on Insane Asylums.What he said is, of course, a matter of uncertainty to all save the Commissioners themselves.Knowing, however, that whatever Mr.Perry might say on the matter would be of interest to the public, a HeraLp reporter on Satur day obtained from Mr.Perry the following statements :\u2014 \u201cYou were yesterday a witness before the Commission, Mr.Perry ?\u201d said the HERALD man.\u201cWhat commission do you refer to?The fire, the sewer, or the insane 7\u201d \u201cWell, say the latter one.What do you think of it, anyway ?\u201d \u201cOh! it is all right I have shown public abuses up pretty well all through in that matter.There are several cases that had come to my hnowledge during the time that I was in the habit of attending and calling at the Longue Pointe Asylum, where people were admitted, ay \u2014and confined without the necessary medical certificate as provided by law.I have known of a case where a doctor received a $10 bill and a certificate to be signed, which he did withouteven having seen the patient.\u201c And was the man confined ?\u201d \u201cWas he confined?Well, I should rather think he was.Anybody would be under similar circumstances.\u201d \u201cNot in the Province of Quebec, surely ?\u201d \u201c Right here in Montreal.About three and one half years ago, at a meeting of the Cabinet in Montreal, I volunteered that they should select a half dozen names of citizens of the place, any one of which I undertook to see safely lodged in the walls of a lunatic asylum within six months.\u201d \u201c Did they accept?\u201d \u201cOh, no; they knew better.Why, you have no idea how easy it is to get a parson incarcerated in an asylum on the ground of insanity.I have known of a case where, right here in Montreal, a party gave a Protestant minister a power of attorney to sell herreal estate.Shortly afterwards the latter had the party interdicted and himself appointed curator.She is there still, and as he has disposed of the propesty, there she still remains.But I will tell you, said Mr.Perry, where the greatest defect in the system, as far ag we are concerned, lies, and that is inthe support which the Province has to give to patients whose relatives are well able to support them.Now, there is one man around town, who receives a salary of say two thousand dollars a year, vet he has his wife in the Beauport Asylum, supported at Government expense, and that without one cent of contribution on his part.Another case is that of a young man who was interdicted by his two brothers, who got the management of his estate, valued at about three thousand dollars.They spent the money and that individual was being supported by the country.Finally, through my exertions, he was liberated, and it was only a short time ago that his sister-in-law, wife of one of the men who had spent his money, came to me and wanted him interdicted anew.Why?You might think that he had broken out again, but he had not; he was simply affected with a physical weakness which caused the women some inconvenience in changing his bed linen.Well, Mr.Perry, have you no suggestions to offer to prevent a recurrence of such things?Yes, I have.1 would strongly urge that the same procedure with regard to the committal of the insane be adopted as is in force in California, where a medical commission sits all the year round and where no patient can be committed without a certificate from it.There, also, you can trace all proceedings from the day of committal te the discharge, a thing that is much needed in our asylums.For instance, a widowed lady in Montreal who had not seen her son for years, he having left for California, asked me, as was to visit that State, to try and ferret him out.On my arrival there I set to work and soon learned that he was in an insane asylum.I proceeded there and without the least ditficulty or bother was informed of all the facts connected with his incarceration, they being entered in a register for that purpose.Another point which I would urge upon the commission now deliberating upon the management of insane asylums, is the disposal of liberated inmates.As the Superior of the Longue Pointe Asylum told me once, there often happen cases where they would discharge patients were it not that they huve no home to receive them.Now, it would be cheaper for the Government to give such a discharged inmate $25 to pay his or her expenses home out of the country than suppcrt him or her in the asylum at about 200 a year.SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.The Stuff Canadians Made Of.Are The Severest Tramps on Record.Twenty-four Below at La- chine.The Emerald\u2019s Open Steeplechase.Rubenstein Beats Good For the Championship of the World.SNOWSHOEING.WHAT CANUCKS ARE MADE OF\u2014SATURDAY\u2019S TRAMP OF THE OLD TUQUE BLEUE, THE ST.GEORGE AND THE ARGYLE.While the greater portion of the inhabitants of this busy city were either wending their way to their comfortable homes, or snugly covered up in fur- trimmed coats and warm seal caps, were making the best of their way to some afternoon attraction, fifty gallant fellows were putting on their blanket suits preparatory to struggling over some ten miles of doubtfully good\u2014for\u2014tramping virgin Snow in a gale of wind, and under atmospheric accompaniments that were nearly arctic in point of severity.The thermometer hovered at various points on the route\u2014for some houses were more sheltered than others, between 187 below and 20= {ill the sun went down.Then, with Old Sol, down went the mercury to 24°, and, with the register at this severe oint, was most of the hard work done y the \u201c eternalises.\u201d - From the Institute to a line with the course at the Blue Bonnets, the snow was found to be on the whole, fair, but the sneachd was not the principle cause of anxiety to the brave bands who trod it, it was the bitter, cutting, razor-like sharp edged cold wind that compelled the strongest man to\u2014not wish himself back but\u2014wish he was at Lachine before half of the journey was completed.Seniores priores let à commencement be made with the elder club, and its trials and troubles.THE OLD TUQUE BLEUE.The following wearers of the blue tuque, met Mr.T.L.Paton at the appointed time and place to tramp to Lachine.James Paton, J.G.Ross, Anthony McKeaud, Alec Stewart, C.J.Hodson, Raymond Binmore, Whippers- in Neville and Weaver, Grant Cornell, Andrews, Lessor, Harries, Woodsworth, Boyd, Henry, twenty-three in all.Once clear of the city the wind, as one of the fellows facetiously said, began \u201cto blow through their whiskers,\u201d tuques were drawn closer to the head, collars were tugged up higher and sleeves down lower, and everybody bent forward, but at a half turn, as the wind whistled down upon them from the north-eastern point of the compass.It was about half-past three when the McKay Institute was passed, and half an hour later the sun got very low down, and the temperature seemed visibly to get colder.The younger fellows suffered first, and it was about a bare thirty minutes before one of them called out \u201cI am frozen.\u201d Due application of snow remedied the evil pro tem, then, one after the other, hardly four out of the line escaping, the other men commenced to freeze, sothat by the time they arrived at Blue Bonnets the boys were in a most unenviable state.However, Blue Bonnets is more than half way, and the men\u2019s pluck, never for a moment below zero,still,ran up at the nearer approach of the jouruey\u2019s end, and \u201c Anthony\u2019 was heard to exclcim, with aloud sigh \u201cah by George I smell turkey.\u201d But the wind at this point of the tramp seemed to increase in force, high as it had before been,and one of the line,who had pluckily endeavoured to keep up had, at last, ask for assistance, so four of his cour- rades carried him the rest of the journey on a rail, to Harvey\u2019s Hotel.What the feelings of the poor lad were, when mo- tionl ss and stiff, e :n hardly be imagined, certainly not described.With fingers numbed, wrists raw with exposure, and so intensely cold that accidental touches were positively torture; legs and feet without any other feeling than that of being frozen s.iff, and face, nose and eyes covered with icicles, the state of the young tramper must have been bad indeed.But it was the faces of the other men that suffered most, and lucky indeed was he who, when at last, having faced the severest gale the Lachine people remember for years, during the last three parts of the final mile, he struggled into the haven of refuge to find that he was all right barring a very sore face.The conclusion of the tramp was eminently satisfactory\u2014after they had all thawed out, ofcourse.Mr.Harvey\u2019s turkey and the other good things were well and thoroughly discussed by all those out.J.G.Ross, when the trampers had covered about three miles, jogged on ahead on his light shoes, arriving about an hour ahead of the main body.Most of them were badly frozen on their faces, and several had their fingers touched.When the party arrived, viz., at 5 p.m., at Harvey\u2019s, they were perfectly unrecognizable, so thickly covered were they with icicles and snow.The following tramped home: Neville, Weaver, Bin- more, J.G.Ross and Cantfield, all arriving safely after their severe exertions.Mr.Archie Stevenson, the President, went out by train to meet his boys on arrival.WITH THE SAINT GEORGE MEN, With a view to making a \u2018track for those who were to take part in the Green Steeplechase, Messrs.J.G.Monk (who led), C.P, Sclater, C.Lamothe, G.Taintor (who had shoes on for the third time) and the Club Treasurer, Mr.Knowels set out together in single file leaving the McKay Institute at 3.23 p.m., the gale being at it\u2019s height.Xeeping a rather high course the quintette, stepping out at a rather fast pace, were soon out amid the fields which, barely two months ago, were the scene of another form of sport, that of fox hunting.Keen were the blasts of wind which, ever and anon blew down with almost Arctic severity.As the pioneers passed the naked trees, the noise of Boreas, howling at the rate of several hundred miles an hour, through the bare branches, seemed to intensify the desolate character of the scene ; when the telegraph posts were passed, the wires ou them rang out a loud and rather pretty musical accompaniment as the snow and ice-bound tra::pers made their way over the crusty substance, La- chinewarcæ À stalwart quartette traly for a vovice to find himself ii the company of, | Lnt thouch Mr Taintor was seen to falter once, he pluckily pulled himself together, and after the most arduous tramp that the oldest of those present acknowledged to have ever participated in, walked into Mrs.Hanna's hotel with them inside one hour and 40 minutes from the time they started.Mr.C.P.Sclater at one time lost all feeling of one arm, and each of the others was more or less frozen.A few minutes after the Montreal men ar rived amid the loud cheers of a number of members who had come out by train, the main body of trampers of the club arrived, having left the Windsor at 3.45 .m., headed by the President, Mr.R.J.oss.The rest who had faced the dangers and decidedly arduous task of getting to T.achine on snowshoes, were Messrs.WW.L.Mathews, H.Shorey, A.Henshaw, L.M.Spack- man, R.Kinghorn, 8.Harvey, H.Doucet, B.T.Kirkhouse, C.H.God- frey, R.Pollock, W.E.Bradshaw, S.Walker, \u2014 Thomas, and L.A.Gordon, who whipped in.The President, W, L.Mathews, B.T.Kirkhouse and Mr.Thomas were not frozen, but of the others hardly one escaped the nasty white spot appearing somewhere on nose or face.Mr.Hanna and Messrs.Bell, J.S.Monk and Sclater soon had coal oil and cold water ready up stairs, where the fifteen human icicles, with a great amount of leasure, at once proceeded to melt, Mr.inghorn suffered the worst of the party, and deserves special praise for having stuck to the line in spite of the pain he suffered.It would be superfluous to describe the tramp of the purple tuques.It was but a repetition of that of their sister and senior club.Their experiences were no more severe or less.All united in acknowledging that the afternoon beat the record in point of severity.After the dinner, which was admirable, a deputation left to invite the Montreal hoys over, and, to the undisguised delight of all, the whole body of those who had participated in the hard tramp came over, headed by Mr.Tom Paton, and with them THE ARGYLE CONTINGENT.These, consisting of Messrs.H.M.Cock- field, President, W.Kennedy, Vice, W.Reid, W.Mason, ©.McWood, G.Chadwick, W.Bellingham and W.Keene, had tramped it from Point St.Charles, starting at 3 p.m., arriving at 6.17 p.m.at Harvey\u2019s.A jolly time in Hanna\u2019s Hall wound up the day, Professor Bohrer and B.T.Kirkhouse being the chief performers, the latter gentleman, as usual, being the life and soul of the party.Songs were given by Messrs.R.J.Ross, James Monk, Alec Stewart, A.Bell, H.Doucet, Trainor and Hannaford, and that Jacobite chestnut \u201c Bonnie Chaerlie \u201d was also given.THE EMERALDS\u2019 OPEN STEEPLECHASE\u2014A TEL- RIBLY HARD STRUGGLE OVER THE MOUNXN- TAIN\u2014THE SEVEREST RACE ON RECORD.The twenty-first annual steeplechase of the Emerald Snowshoe Club came off on Saturday last, under atmospheric circumstances that were not only unfavorable to the contestants, but were even severe to those who were warmly clad and witnessing the start.The thermometer at the foot of McTavish street, registered 18 © at 3.30 p.m., at which hour the lads peeled for the coming severe struggle.There were I.Ogilvie, T.Malone, J.Lnmsden, J.Muirhead, J.Jones, A.Cawthorne, six men who may certainly be credited with having a more than usual share of that most necessary qualification for getting on in the world, pluck, The wind blew down in the faces of the competitors with terrible force, as they toed the line, Mr.McLaughlin, the starter, losing no time accordingly in sending them on their journey.The whole of them remained pretty well together till they came to the pines, at which point Lumsden was leading, Ogilvie being second, and Malone third, the others who had been gradually losing ground going up the last bit of the hill coming along at their own pace, two of them finally retiring when half the journey had been covered.Once across the Park slide the leaders were seen to be making fair way considering the saverity of the cold and the force of the wind, which was blowing fiercely at the time, and which was enough to cut the men in half at that exposed part of the country.Time totime, Lu.nsden was seen to stoop and take a handful of snow and then rub his face, Ogilvie and Malone doing the same.In the field next to the cemetery Ogilvie went up to the leader, and after a brief struggle, went on ahead ; then, coming away just before reaching the lane, the Scottish laddie put on the pace, and, as if shot out by a bow, left his opponents as if standing and won what may without exageration be termed the severest steeplechase that has ever been run over the mcuntain by quite ninety yards, his time being 22 minutes, 47 seconds ; Lums- den was second, time 22.59, and M \u2018lone\u2019s 22.50.The appearance of the competitor3 beggars description.Lumsden\u2019s chest was one mass of frozen flesh, his face, in spite of the frequent
