Goldwin Smith Address the Meeting.St.THOMAS, Ont., December 3.\u2014At a meeting to discuss commercial union hetween the United States and Canada held here to-night Erastus Wiman, in the course of his speech, said: In the discussion of the question ot commercial union between the United States and Canada there has been urged as an objection that in the consummation of this proposal British interests would be sacrificed and the question now before a large number of the best people of Canada was whether the perfect development of Canada was inconsistent with British interests.In speaking of the interests of Great Britain, the consideration has to be removed from talking about the Government and the people of that country to a consideration of the individual interests affected, thus, while we import about forty millions of dollars annually of goods from England, 1t is the English manufacturer and merchant whose interests we are promoting or injuring.These merchants and manufacturers, who make about four millions on their exports aggregate perhaps 500 In number, and are we, for the sake of the interests of these gentlemen and their opera- tives, not to consider whether the tuture of this Dominion i8 to be free or restricted?The question is, whether for the vast advantage which Canada can secure by the freest «o nmercial intercourse with her great neighbor on the south, she is prepared to admit the products of that land into her markets free while she exacts a high rate of duty against products of the British Empire.The question Is à single business one, and if Canada's interests are considered, the answer can be inthe affirmative only.Again\u2014If the free admission of goods into Canada from the United States benefits Canada to an extent far greater than the discrimination against Kuglish goods injures the manufactures of England, what is the moral duty of the Government of England in the premises.Is it that the far greater interests of the five millions of people of Canada should be sacrificed for the limited interest of the five hundred thousand of Manchester and Birmingham.So faras Canada's commercial value to Great Britain is concerned, nothing more advantageous to the latter could occur than complete commercial union between the English-speaking people of the North American continent, and to keep separated by a customs line right through the contre of the count nent the two English speaking nations that occupy it, seems to be an injudicious proceeding.Trade ebbs and Hows from one end of the continent to the other, and as the same relative pro- ress could b> made in the northern part of he continent as has been achieved in the southern part, it would be a great hardship if any sentimental impediment should prevent the abolition of this Customs line.Goldwin Smith also addressed the meeting.- \u2014- Closing Inland Navigation.ST.CATITARINES, Dec.3.\u2014Notice has been given by the superintendent that navigation through Welland canals will close on the leth instant, if not closed sooner by ice.The reports published in some papers regarding the death of C.J.Cook, postmaster at North Pelham, insinuating that he was olsoned, are untrue.There 1s no talk of ex- 1uming the corpse at North Pelham.An Elevator Burnt Down.OWEN SOUND, Ont., Dec.3,\u2014About 2.30 this morning a fire was discovered in what is known as Sutherland elevator, situated on the corner of Peel and Marsh streets, facing the river front.The alarm was immediately sounded, and the hooks and engine company were promptiy on the scene; \u201cThe fire spread rapidly, setting on fire and burning a house and barn next to it.The elevator being empty, was speedily reduced to ashes.It was with great difficulty that the docks, as works and other buildings were saved.The clevator was valuod at $15,000, and insured for only $3,000.The fire is undoubtedly the work of an incendiary, it being started in two different places.Important to Bank

an excellent source to-night that Secretary Bayard would like the Dominion Government to pay an indemnity for losses to American fishermen for having been deprived of their fishing privileges last summer, and also as compensation to vessel owners whose vessels were seized for violating the Customs regulations.However much Mr.Bayard may insist upon this, it is certain that neither Mr.Chamberlain nor 8ir Charles Tupper will agree to any settlement involving a payment of indemnity by the Dominion.I consider that point as good as settled.The rumor is again revived that the difference between the Commissioners are so irreconcilable that Mr.Bayard will content himself with an interpretation of the treaty of 1818, It is difficult to understand, however, if a satisfactory interpretation of the treaty of 1818 can be arrived at, why an entirely new treaty cannot be agreed upon, unless, and this point is worth considering, Sir Charles Tupper and Mr.Chamberlain de- sirenone.In fact it comes direct from headquarters that Sir Charles would be entirely satisfied if statwo quo were maintained.Minister Courtney was formally presented to the President yesterday.New England Pugilism.FALL RIVER, Mass., December 3.\u2014Jack Mc- Gowan, a local light weight, and Miles Higgins, lately arrived from England, fought four fiercely contested rounds with bare knuckles to-day across the linc in

gave up the contest.Work for the Congress.WASHINGTON, Dec.3.\u2014Senator Palmer, of Washington, will introduce in the Senate, at the earliest possible moment, after the organization of that body, a bill prepared by him for the purpose of regulating and restricting immigration to the United States, by keeping out citizens who seen likely to be undesirable citizens, The principal feature of the bill is n provision which, if it becomes law, will require every person of foreign birth who contemplates migration to the United States to provide himself with a certificate from the United States Consul from the district of his resl- dence, setting forth substantially that the said cousul is satisfied by diligent enquiry that he is a suitable and desirable person for residence and citizenship in the United States, Immigrants of foreign birth not provided with such certificate shall not be allowed by the United States immigration oflicers to land in this country.ee WEATHER

different individuals to some extent.A Bilious man is seldom a breakfast eater.Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent appetite for liquids 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 Diarrhea or Constipation may be a symptom or the two may alternate.There are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood.There may be giddiness and often headache and acidity or flatulence aud tenderness in the pit of the stomach.To correct all this if not effect a cure try Green's August Flower, it costs but a trifle and thousands attest its efficacy.Railroad Fatality.ROCHESTER, N.Y., December 3.\u2014John Hickey, a brakeman, was cut in two by the cars

ffairs\u2014Special Mission to St.Petersburg\u2014Anticipation of a Stormy Session in the Reichstag \u2014More Soldiers.BERLIN, Dec.3.\u2014Official and diplomatic circles in Berlin were absorbed in to-day\u2019s developments in Paris, but the public interest was not at all strained.An increasing stream of telegrams passed into the Foreign Office, and the details of the voting at Versailles were sen! without delay to Friedricks- ruhe.The election of Sadi-Carnot better received in official circles than would have be that of M.De Freycinet or M.Ferry- The new President is considered to b2 a feeble man, and one who would be unwilling to consent to complications which might bring about an European war.It is also believed that he will be unable to muke alliances against Germany.His personal preferences are for a neutral pacific policy and he will try to govern through a ministry of the same tendencies.Telegrams received from the German Embassy at Paris record the fact that though it was considered necessary to guard the approaches to the embassy, everything was peaceful during the exciteinent.The utter absence of any anti-German demonsiration, the efforts of Paul de Roulede and others to provoke a patriotic ebullition, finding no re- ponse are raising hopes of à prolonged as suagement of the Revanche sentiment, On the side of Russia the situation still continues grave.The Czar has failed to gain control of the anti-Teutonic party, and if he himself ts convinced ofthe friendiy intention of the German Governinent, he has been unable to persuade a majority in the Imperial Council that some practionl measures are necessary to restore an entente., In the meantime the anti-German personal in the ministry remains in power aud the order of M.D2 Giers, instructing the press to cease attacking Germany, is defied.\"An instance of the disregard of the order is contain- edin an article in the military organ Svet, which declares the statement that the Czar had received forged letters misrepresenting the German policy to be mere nonsense and that the election of Prinee Ferdinand to the Bu!garian throne was not the work of Orjeanist intrigue, but of Prince Bismarck, who caused the Emperor to receive Prince Ferdinand at Berlin on the very day the Czar informed the German Government that the Prince of Mingrelia had been nominated to the Bulgarian throne.In a similar strain the Moscow Gazette vaunts the Russian determination to cultivate an entente until Germany ceases trying to dominate Europe.\u201c Russia,\u201d says the Gazette \u201ccan tolerate no predominance, requires no alliance and will not allow herself to ke duped.\u201d The language of the Inspired Russian press indicates beyond mistake that the price of a renewal of cordial relations with Berlin remains beyond the power or inclination of the German Government to grant.Count Herbert Bismarck would have gone to 8t Petersburg on a special mission to clear up the misrepresentations of German policy, arising from the cabal of the Orlean- sts with the anti-Teutonic court party, but as the evidence of treachery already disclosed to the Czar has been unavailing, the mission was abandoned.The severest contest during the session of the Reichstag will be over The bill making the Legislative period five instead of three years.Although brought in by the leaders of the Conservatives and the National Liberals, the bill is practically a Government affalr.The progressists denounce the measure as assailing the prerogative of the electors and weakening the nations voice

and nothing indicates the return of the serious symptoms which appeared at the end of October.An explosion occurred to-day in a factory in the Wiener Neustadt, where explosives were manufactured,

the road between Kingstown and Dublin were tobe removed in order to wreck the train carrying Lord Hartington and Mr.Goschen last week and in the excitement shots were to be fired into the carriage occupied by the English visitors.The scheme was abandoned when it became known that Lord Harting- ton and Mr.Goschen travelled by different trains and that the former drove straight to the residence

should be confided to an international committee from the six or seven nationalities.NEW YORK, Dec.8.\u2014By order of the Ordinance Board of the War Department a second test of the new dynamite

cold weather has caused the rats to come in from the prairie in great numbers and they are playing sad havoc with residences and metchandize of all kinds, MEETING OF U.8.CONGRESS.Session Opens To-day.WASHINGTON, Dec.4.\u2014The first Monday in December being the day prescribed by the Constitution for the annual meeting of Congress, the fiftieth Congress will be called to order at twelve o'clock to-morrow.The course of events in the Senate during the week seems to depend entirely upon the ability of the two parties to reach a conclusion with respect to the admission of members elect.Should threatened objections to the \u201cnon-members not be made or should compromise or understanding be reached the Senate will to-morrow appoint the customary committee to give notice to the House of Representatives and to the President of the organizatien of the Senate, and its readiness to proceed to business if both houses, complete their organization to-morrow.The President\u2019s message will be laid before them on Tuesday.The remainder of the week in the Senate is likely to witness nothing inthe way of general le islation except the introduction of bills.good deal of time is likely to be spent by the Senate during the early weeks of the session in secret session, as a long list of recess appointments are submitted by the President tor confirmation.The House will be called to order at noon by Mr.Clark, the Clerk of the Preceding House, and after a quorum of members have responded to theirnames on a call of the roll, the work of organization will be proceeded with.WANT TO REGULATE THE G.T.R.\u2018WASHINGTON, Dec.{.\u2014Congressmen Townsend and Springer, with other gentlemen, had a consultation to-day with Senator Cullom, relative to some legislations, which, by amendments to the interstate commission law will regulate the traffic of the country passing over the Grand Trunk and other Canadian railways from points in the U.8.through Canada to other points in the country.One of these gentlgmen will introduce some measure in Congress which will accom- p} this purpose without occasioning any increased cost of transport to the consu mer.It has been sugested by others who have caretuily considered the subject, that Con- press should require the payment of customs duties on articles reimported into the country over the Canadian railways 2 THE MONTREAL

MR.MOLYNEUX ST.JOIN.Buy«i- ness correspondence to be addressed wo Tig HERALD COMPANY, (limited); Hox.Prrrg MITCHELL, President; Mr.W.IL.wuyre Secretary-Treasurer.MB.CHAMBERLAIN EXPLAINs.Mr.Chamberlain asks us, through our our Washington correspondent to correct the understanding which has been had of the remark with which he has been credited, concerning the probable or ps- sible disallowance of any act that might be passed by the Parliament of Canada regulating the tarifl for the purpose of free trade with tho United ftates.He says :\u2014 \u201cI see that Prof Goldwin Smith, according to the papers, is taking me to task for a remark I am supposed to have made.I was asked if Canada reduced her tariff could the Imperial Government veto that action?I said it could.Prof.Smith believes I said it would, which is a very different thing.If Canada wanted to reduce her tariff the British government would not interfere although technically it has the power of veto.Asfor my saying that that veto would be used, that is absurd, because I am not a member of the Government and cannot tell what the Government might do when the question arises.I should be glad if Tur Heraup will let these facts be known.\u201d We are very glad to make the correction because Tur Hera, amongst others charged Mr.Chamberlain with assuming an authority he did not possess, in stating what would or what would not be done by England in the contingency referred to.It is probable that the ready credence which was given to the report, arose from a previsus remark credited to Mr.Chamberlain touching the separation of Canada from the Empire in the event of adopting Commercial Union.However, no one can wish to do Mr.Chamberlain injustice so that we are glad to do what in us lies to remove the false impression that has existed.Mr.Chamberlain's disavowal moreover may be taken as indirect evidence that any ministry must be very careful jabout disallowing a Canadian act dealing with the tariff.THE \u201c FAIR TRADE \"\u201d AGITATION.Some of our Conservative contemporaries are chuckling over the fair trade agitation in Great Britain, several of them going so far as to predict that the Mother Country ere long will adopta protective policy.These writers evidently know very little of what is implied in the fair trade agitation, or what would be the probable result to Canada if a fair trade tariff were adopted.If they did know what it all meant their chuckling would very soon come to an end, for Canada would be one of the principal sufferers.Fair trade is simply another name for protection, and it means a totally different thing from what it does in this country.It means in England, first of all, a duty on wheat.It is the demand, not of the manufacturing, but of the landed interests.The demand is practically for the re-enactment of the corn laws.Such a demand could not be conceded without granting protection to other interests till the protection became general.There is not the remotest chance of the demand being conceded.But supposing it were conceded, what then?A tax om so important an article of food as wheat would necessanly increase the cost of living, the result of which would be that the artisan class would be compelled to demand higher wages.Higher wages to the artisan class\u2014the employees in mining and manufacturing establishments\u2014would mean inereased cost of production, lessening the ability of British manufacturers to compete with other countries in the world\u2019s markets.Her foreign trade would be seriously crippled in consequence, and away would go England\u2019s supremaey in manufacturing and commercial enterprise.But this is not all.A duty on wheat, carrying with it duties on other exports from Canada to Great Britain, would seriously interfere with our export trade to that country, and proportionately injure our import trade.Knowledge of these facts and the exercise of a little common sense ought Lo induce Canadians to hope most fervently that Great Britain will never adopt anpthing in the shape of a protective tariff.The idea that the Mother Country, if she adopted a protective tartff, would discriminate in favor of her Colonies, is assuming a good deal.The Colonies tax her goods, she treats her Colonies in trade matters precisely as she treats foreign countries ; and if she adoptd a fair trade tariff she would treat all countries alike.Canadian Protectionists had better not build any hopes on the supposition that Great Britain will discriminate in their favor.The absurdity of supposing that the fair trade agitation amounts to anything more than a vote catching machine, is shown by the fact that no man of political prominence, in either the Liberal or Conservative party, gives it any countenance.\u2018The Conservative as well as the Liberal Leaders disavow any sympathy with it.Even Lord Randolph Churchill, who coquetted with it a few years ago, has publicly abandoned the fair traders and condemned their agitation, and no really prominent public man in the Conservative party has been found to take his place.If English public men were political charlatans like some of the Tory leaders in Canada, they would utilize it as a means of either getting into power, or of strengthening their position on the Treasury benches, but being men of honor and principle\u2014the majority of them at least\u2014they decline to have anything to do with the agitation.The Halifax organ of the Dominion Government, the Ilerald, in discussing the fair trade agitation, with its usual recklessness, due to crass ignorance of the commercial history of Great Britain, declares that \u201cthe policy of free imports \u201c miscalled free trade, has been thor * oughly tested, and has miserably \u201c failed.\u201d Letus sce.Even a cursory acquaintance with the history of Great Britain for a quarter of a century previous to 1846, and since that date, is sutlicient to convince anyone willing to be convinced by facts, that free trade has not only not been a HERALD.failure, but has been a marvellous success.The facts are indisputable that for several years previous to the repeal of the Corn Laws, British manufacturing industries were not only in a depressed condition, but many of them were face to face with bankruptey.Great Britain's foreign trade was at a low ebb, and in the manufacturing districts the laboring classes were in a state bordering upon starvation, The commercial, manufacturing and social situation was gloomy in the extreme, and caused no little alarin to the well-wishers of the nation.In 1546 the Cornlaws were repealed after an agitation extending over ten years.The progress made by Great Britain since that time\u2014or, say since 1840, one of the most prosperous years under the old protective policy, speaks for itself.In 1840 the population of the United Kingdom was 26,487,000, Notwitstand- ing an cmigration sutliciently large to found colonies in other parts of the world, the population is now upwards of 37,- 000,000.In 1540 the foreign trade of the United Kingdom\u2014imports and exports combin- ed\u2014amounted to $838,287,04:0 5 last year it was a little over $3,1258,350,000\u20140r nearly quadruple in {Le intervening period.Is there any protectionist country on the face of the globe which can show such a record ?Not one.In 1840 the registered tonnage of the United Kingdom was 2,571,000 tons.By 1849 this tonnage had increased just 525,000 tons.In 1849 the navigation laws were repealed and British trade was thrown open to the shipping of the world.In 1878 the tonnage of the United Kingdom was 6,236,000, and is now upwards of 7,000,000 tons, and at the present moment she does 60 per cent of the carrying trade of the world.Her ships are found in every port, her flag floats on every sea, her commerce finds its way into all lands, her sons are constantly opening up new fields for the employment of British enterprise and capital\u2014 in a word her commercial and manufacturing supremacy is acknowledged the world over, and yet, in the face of all this, the Halifax Herald has the assurance to tell the people that free trade in Great Britain has Deen a failure ! The immensely improved condition of the working classes under free trade is shown by the increased consumption of food\u2014the per capita increase in forty years being nearly four fold.Notwithstanding the increase of population, pauperism and crime have declined more than one-half, while the deposits of the working classes in the savings banks (not the deposits of the wcalthy classes as in Canada) have nearly quadrupled, and yet the Halifax Herald tells us that free trade in Great Britain has been a failure and exults over the pretended fact.In 1840 the wealth of the United Kingdom was about £3,275,000,000 ; British statisticians now estimate it at about £10,000,000,000.That is, since 1840 the wealth of the nation has quadrupled, while the population has only increased about 30 per cent.And yet the Halifax Herald, in the face of such evidences of progress, gravely tells its readers that free trade has been a failure in England.It is true that some branches of trade in Great Britain are in a depressed condition, because depression exists in other countries which are her largest customers ; it is true that her manufac turers are sometimes hard pressed by the bounty-fed products of protectionist countries, but this disadvantage is disappearing ; the protectionist countries of Europe are finding out that the bounty system is becoming too costly and will soon be abandoned.Of one thing the Halifax Herald may rest assured : so long as the nations of Europe and the United States maintain their protective systems, so long will Great Britain maintain her commercial and manufacturing supremacy.When those countries adopt free trade, then will come the danger to that supremacy._\u2014_ SUGAR BOUNTIES.The New York Herald\u2019s London despatch of December 1, delares that the Sugar Bounties Commission, representing British and European countries, has already arrived at a fair understanding, and that the bounty system is doomed\u2014 the statement being made on the authority of some of the foreign deputies.This will be good news to the producers of cane sugar in the West Indies whose business has been seriously crippled by the competition of the bounty-fed beet root sugars of Europe.The removal of the bounties would enable the West Indian sugar growers to compete with their rivals on equal terms.The sugar industries of Great Britain will also benefit immensely by the destruction of the bounty system.Indeed, it is quite probable the sugar industries of Canada may also be benefited by the change.The practical operation of the sugar bounty (taking France as an illustration) is that the French beet root sugar producer, to whom the bounty is paid, is enabled to sell to the foreign consumer cheaper than he can to the home consumer, and thus, the French taxpayer, besides paying the amount of the protective customs duty to the producer of beet root sugar, pays him a bounty to enable hin to sell sugar cheaply to the foreign consumer.The foreign consumer gets the advantage and the French taxpayer shoulders the burden.Such a vicious system should be destroyed.When the bounties are abolished the sugar industries of the sugar-producing and sugar-refining countries will resume their normal state, and business will be done on a more healthy basis than when surrounded by the speculative and uncertain influnces engendered by the bounty system.1 Ler Hix Reruxp.\u2014Now that the man Baird has abandoned the seat in Parliament which was given him by his protege Dunn, it is to be hoped that he will have the

the ex-President would go.When forced by circumstances, the chief of which was his relationship to M.Wilson, his boodling son-in-law, he expressed his intention of resigning, Lut on a slight change in public sentiment he endeavored to withdraw that.The ever variable breeze of public opinion in Paris having turned against him once more he resigned, and his place will be taken by Sadie-Carnot.This gentleman's competitors were Messrs.Ferry, Suaussier,De Frey - cinet, Appert and Bresson.The most serious rivals were Ferry and DeFrercinet M.Jules Ferry had the dis: lvaitage of being the minister under whom the Tonquin expedition was undertaken, and was alike unpopular with Radicals and Monarchists.De Freycinet never succeeded in thoroughly securing the confidence of his countrymen when ho held office, 8.) that Sadi-Carnot.having no very brilliant record, was probably without many enemies, and was elected as a compromise candidate.Anxious enquiries are addressed to ns from New York as to the rumor that Montreal will not hold a carnival this year.It appears that a great number of people are preparing to visit the city in the belief that the Carnival will be held as usual.Amongst other enquiries, we have received the following telegram from the New York Graphic :\u2014 The Graphic would like to know what con- clnsiom has been arrived at by the people of Montreal regarding your customary Winter Carnival this winter, It is rumored here that the Carnival will not take place this winter.Thousands who intended going from here will be greatly disappointed if the report proves true.We hope your people will go on with it as heretofore.The Graphic pledges its hearty support and co-operation.We will send special artists to illustrate the entire sports free of expense.A meeting is to be held on Tuesday by the hotel proprietors of the city with the object of meeting, if possible, the difti- culties that have arisen, and it would be well if the question of a Carnival or no Carnival were settled at once.\u2014\u2014 MORE WHARFAGE WANTED.As the keystone of Montreal's prosperity is its harbour, everything tending to harbour improvement as well as everything that checks it should receive prompt and serious consideration.We are almost tired of speaking of the St.Peter's channel debt, although tired or not we shall return again and again to that important subject, but in the meantime it is proper to allude to the want of additional wharfage which is experienced in Montreal.Take the case of coal and its accommodation.The imports of bituminous coal at Moutreal this season amounted to 870,000 tons, of which about 31,000 came from Great Britain, the remainder coming from Nova Scotia.This large tonnage has been handled at greatly increased expense and trouble, owing to the inadequacy of the wharfage accommodation.This trade is now carried almost entirely by steamers and they require facilities for rapid discharge.The trade is increasing, but if it is to assume the proportions expected, further wharfage accommodation must be provid-d by the harbor authorities.These are wanted, and badly wanted, at both extremities of the harbor, and as we say if we are to increase that trade or even to hold it as it now is, greater facilities must be provided.This is not à matter to talk about for years and to postpone from season to season; it requires and should receive immediate attention so that the work may be comn- menced without unnecessary delay.- - Tue Frere Coxeress of the United States meets to-day.The session will be very importaut, because of the anticipated tariff reform legislation and the influence which Congressional action generally may have on the next Presidential election.A CORRESPONDENT TELLS Us that Sir Donald Smith was erroneously reported when credited with saying that he was in favor of female medical practitioners.His idea of women\u2019s sphere of usefulness in this direction did not go quite to that extent, though he admitted their great usefulness in other directions, such as nursing, &c.And he also, with his usual modesty, said, when replying to some complimentary remarks touching his munificent gifts to the University, that the benefactor of any medical school was not the man who might give a little money, but the man wbo gave his time and talents to it, like the professors of the University.1e ANOTHER Li x Narrep.\u2014 Mr.Purcell, the member for Glengarry, writes to say that the Tory yarn concerning an alleged promise by him to support the Government is a well, the result of political engineers.To the Editor of THE HERALD.Summerrowx, Nov.30.DEar Sr, \u2014 It is now going the rounds of the press that I have assured the Government I would give them a liberal support.This is no doubt done for the purpose of injuring me with my party in case of another election.Neither Sir Charles Tupper nor any other member of the Government ever asked me for my support, because they know better.I told my constituents at Alexandria the day of nomination that nothing would make me go against my party and I am bound to stick to that to the end, unless with the approbation of the constituency I take some course in the way of Commercial Union or unrestricted reciprocity, which, in my opinion, would be beneficial to the country.P.Purceur.ee Mr.Daurox McCarray.\u2014The press despatches tellus that Mr.Dalton McCarthy has resigned the presidency ofthe Canadian branch of the Imperial Federation League.We aro not atall surprised at at this.Blowing bubbles is a harmless amusement, but not & remunerative one, and Mr.Dallon McCarthy is a gentleman who usually is well paid for his services.Emoluments, derived from individuals of the Great Canadian puk- public, are we understand, large, while those from the public chest of the agre gated individuals that compose the Canadian people are perhaps larger.His duties as President of the Northeru & Northwestern Railway, apart from preparing bills for its advantage to be forced through Parliament by Mr.MeCarthy's influence, must he a tax on his time, so that altogether the duty of recommend.me the people of the Dominion to submit to taxation to pay for African wars must have necessitated too serious an inroad into his valuabie time.DIED.¥ At the residence of her father, 76 University street, Annie, dauxhter of E.White.Funeral

the propricty of holding another Carniva this winter.On Saturday a HERALD een sentative called on several business men an hotel propretors to see if there was anything new regarding the proposition to have a Carnival.The general opinion gleaned was that there is a strong feeling in favor of one, and the only thing in the way is the matter of securing suificient funds to carry the affair to a success.It is the opinion of near- Iv allthat should money enough be obtained to repay the athletic clubs for their outlay these organizations would go in for the praject as heartily as of old, a no onr was in favor of the house to house can vas [UF Money as in former years.1n 8 al k with Mr.Isidore Durocher, proprietor of a: Richelieu 1lote!, he gave expression to some ideas in regard to obtaining the neges ary funds which are worthy of publicity.Said he: Icertainly think the Carnival shou d be Leld, Lam in receipt of dozens of letters daily from all paris of the United States.These letters all ask for the date of the Carnival.and particulars concerning it, and not one writer doubts that the ice fete will be as usual an accomplished fact, It is clear from this that we might expect at least as many visitors, if not mor, than on former occasions.The reputation of our Carnival is made and strangers will come in increased nuinberscach year, Consequentiy it will Le tn the interest of all classes ot trade in Montreal no: to lose for one mirute the vast amount of money spent by these strangers.Of course I am in favor of hotel proprietors subseribing a certain amount to form the neucleus of a Carnival fund,but 1 am strongly against anything like a door to door canvas, Then, hercis a scheme that, I think, if carried out, would give us All and more money than we need.It cannot be doubted that railways make a great deal out of the Carnival and, consequently, are deeply interested in one being held.Each year they give return tickets at almost half rates from all paris of the United States and Canada.Now, let the companies add say twenty-five cents to these rates from all Can- adiau Lowns and fifty cents from all United Stetes towns, and let them give the money thus obtained, which could not fall far short of 320,000, to the Carnival fund, and we will be able to hold the fete on a far grander scale than ever before.Even with this addition the railway fares would be iar below the ordinary cost, while the companies would not lose anything.The proprictors of the St.Lawrence Hall, Balmoral, Albion, American House and Jucques Car.ier Hotel and myself are willing to co-operate and on Tuesday a meeting will be held, when, if the railway companies will accept my proposition, à Carnival will be possible.\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u2014\u2014\u2014

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD- NEW YORK, December |, 1387.The cold wave from the west struck us yesterday morning.Accompanied by bright blue skies and tioods of golden sunshine, it made life in Gotham quite worth living.; And had you been to the opening reception ofthe Lotos Club on Monday afternoon, between two o\u2019clock and five,-Ladies\u2019 Day\u2014 you would have enthusiasticaz1y endorsed the eristence subject.The Art Committe for the year are Edward Moran, Charles Graham and Chandos Fultree.The first loan exhibition of paintings by American artists was an exceedingly interesting one, consisting of seventy-three examples.Edward Moran ¢on- tributed five canvasses, all of which were gems of local surroundings, testifying to the fact that the spirit of genus need not Bo far to find material for a picture, the quality of an artist coming from within.Mr.M.F.H, De Haas, Mr.Constant Meyer, Joseph Lyman, and J.Alden Weir, were all most interestingly represented, and the Art Cummittee received just what they deserved, the warm thanks of their many aud distinguished guests, for the pleasure they experienced.Mr.Valentine, of the Reception \u2018\u2019ommitte, did the honors very gracefully, and suececded in winning the hearts of muny a score of the fair sex.The girls could not help it.The music for the occasion was very fine, and the place of the musicians in the hallway per- mitled the sweetly swelling sounds to be heard with good cffeet upstairs, where a banquet was spread, and where toothsome viands refreshed the handreds of guests, as well as on the parlor floor, where the greater number were from time to time assembled.The members of the Lotos Club, with Mr.Whitelaw Reid, president, and Mr.Thomas Knox, secretary, intend to give such entertainments once a month, the gentlemen to have their reunion of Saturday evenings, and the ladies to be received Monday afternoons.JOSEF HOFFMANN, the ten-year-old virtuoso, about whom the musical worlds of both hemispheres are going in ecstacies, made his first bow before a New York public on Tuesday evening last at the Metropolitan Opera House.The vast auditorium was crowded with a brilliant assemblage, and to the furtherest back-seat of the top-most gallery an army of music-loving souls such as seldom appear in those lofty quariers, witnessed the phenomenal playing of the child.Josef Hoffmann appeared before the footlights in a striped sailor shirt (à mixture of gray and blue), gray knee-brecches, and stockings to match, looking younger than he really is.He is a well-built boy, and looks as though he took plenty of out-door exercise, and digested whole- rome food.His head is much larger than that of an ordinary chiid, there being great brain development.His manner was easy, and he faced his grea! and critical audience with modest self possession.The Beethoven concerto was first on his programme and when young Hoffman concluded it, so enthusiastic were the people, that many rose to their feet, while cries of bravo! echoed throughout the house.It was evident that the child was a genius.No mere advertising pufl'to be pricked at the moment of hearing, but a genuine, a born pianist stood before five thousand people.and every soul present falt of his divine spark.His mastery of techuical difficulties, daintiness of touch, his brilliancy and sentiment caused his hearers to wonder whence all this came and at his tender age.Is it surprising then that when Saint Saeus heard young Josef, grasped him about the waist, lifted him oi bis knee and gave him a hearty kiss; then he placed him on the floor again, and in the most formal manner shook hands as if he were a colleague.Owing to the enterprise of M.ssrs.Henry E.Abbey and Maurice Grau we Americans had an opportunity to hear Hoffman on the night of sovember 29.It will be our privilege to hear him again, and yours, too, I believe.[54 SHE »\u201d in dramatic form, the celebrated romance of Mr.H.Rider Haggard, is now occupying the great stage at Niblo\u2019s.As no English-speak- ing community on the globe has omitted reading that peculiar work, the scenes of which are laid in a mysterious land of nowhere, the scenes of which arise from that wonderfully woman-governed country, 1 shall not describe.To say that any mortal could embody Mr.Haggard\u2019s heroine as that author built Ayesha, would not Le speaking accurately.But leaving aside the impossibility, one must confess that Miss Laura Clement (\u201cShe\u201d) possesses much physical beauty, that the lady is painstaking, and has a sweet and full voice.Leo ** Hath a noble shape,\u201d and touches the fancy of womankind, like his ancestor Kallikrates.Leo is Mr.Wilton Lackaye, and performs his role acceptably.It goes without saying the play is handsomely mounted.Messrs, William Gilette and W.W.Finst dramatised \u201c She \u201d and set her to music.The romance is widely known.In my estimation no more sensuous work was ever written, and if acceptably performed, admitting that it 1s inartistic as a drama, and what that is artistic is accepted now-a-days ?It will be a financial success.A financial success meaus a great deal.Itcould not be this without drawing the attention of many thousands of people.To draw this attention requires much mental power.THE AUTHOR\u2019S MATINEES of Monday and Tuesday last, held at Chick e = ing Hall, were presided over by some of tne foremost men of our country.The Hon.James Russell, Lowell, President of the Ameri- cin Copyright League acted as chairman, and by his side on the platform were the shining lights, both mundane and divine, The object of the mecting was told by Bishop Potter, who, in terse language, said that it was for the purpose of securing international copyright.Our Congress has always denied that ideas of foreigners were property, and, until very lately, denied that ours were also.The best class of literary people were present, as well as delegations from the highest socia.circles.On both days the hall was filled to its utmost capacity.Many authors read from their own works, and, as a whole, the occa- slong were satissactory and enjoyable.DIANA\u2019S HUNTING PARTY, a colossal and magnificent canvas, the work of Hans Markart, is now the centre of attraction of the American Art Galleries in addition to the fall exhibition of American paintings and sculpture.Hans Makart\u2019s icture has never been unnrolled before in his country, it measures 30 feet in length and 14 feet in height, filling the whole wall of the gallery and belongs to the late J.H.Bancker\u2019s estate.The picture is a suberb creation and 181n every way worthy of all the lavish praise that has been displayed upon it.Diana, the goddess of the hunt, is the central figure.Clad in rich and flowing purple robe, with spear in right hand, with raised and bare arm ready to strike at the caught deer held by nude nymphs.She is arrested from casting \u2018the deadly weapon a moment through the supplication for mercy from a nymph.This figure is superbly modeled.She tenders both hands to the goddess.Her beautiful and abundant reddish-golden hair is crowned with daisies, and falls in loose strands below her waist At Diana's side is a half clad nymph holding back a couple of hounds who séent their prey.Below this are reclining figures seated at the edge of a lake whose waves are foaming in the spirit of the excitement of the subject.One nymphhas plunged into the lako to seize the hunted animal by the antlers, and at her side is a figure of the form divine whose limbs are in the undulating lines of the watery element on which she floats.The composed landscape is in glorious harmony with the coloring of the figures.Those are idcaliestic creatures, free from \u2018earthly want,\u201d and are lifelike\u2019 and in their fine and healthy bodies have warm blood in their veins.Diana's hunting party is the latest sensational painting of the celebrated Vienna master.The greatest crities have said that he possesses, like no other living painter, the secret of unknown artistical powers of acting Winter and Jack Frost tinue to observe that perhaps in none of his preceding works has he succeeded with a greater mastery and a more complete success WINTER FASHIONS, , The severe outlines of the opening winter styles of hats, although smart and becoming to the ininority, could not be generally worn with that degree of becomingness which every daughter of Eve devoutly wishes.To obviate this, to turn straight lines into curves, to make ofangles circles, if you please, has been the task of the skilled milliner.For no fashionable marchande de mode will allow her patrons to wear an unbecoming bonnet.And this for two reasons.The first one because it reflects want of taste for individuals, a sad lacking; and second, it makes my lady less beautiful.For this the severe round hats with their determined brims have given place to those with brims longer, softer and amenable to touches of artistic fingers.A favored shape is A HIGH-CROWNED TURBAN, with a narrow brim that rolls closely against the crown.Unless these hats are of felt, and they are, seen in all the pretty shades of brown, green, blue, olive, mode, gray, heliotrope and superb.In almost every instance the garniture is à positive contrast.A smart hat of this style is of warm-brown felt, and the narrow brim is covered by a band of fine gold passementerie ; another band of passementerie is about the erown, and just in front are high loops of superb velvet with brown quills standing oul among them.High loops mean what millions cail * draped loops \"\u2014that is, the piece of velvet is drawn up to form pointed loops, the the folds being regularly defined.Upon another turban of green felt\u2014a dark and positive shade\u2014three loops are of blue velvet, and through them is stuck an elaborately carved pin of dull gold.WINGS AND LARGE QUILLS are in decided favor.White fwings are in vogue on gray, superb, heliotrope, black, blue and mode hats, but the velvet against which they rest must furnish an absolute contrast.The dispo-ition of these apparently simple trimmings 1x really an art: too much clabor- ation wilt detract from the smart air of the chapeau.whereas a seantv garniture will give it that exceedingly undesirable look of poverty.A gray felt hat has silver passementerie on the brim, and in front are loops of green velvet, with a gray cock\u2019s feather standing high above them and curling stitlly to one side.These hats are rather trying, for they must be disposed well over the face of the wearer and afford but a glimpse of the bang.COCK\u2019S FEATHERS are shown in all the dark shades of brown, s.They are selected to match the hat, he ae at is provided by the loops of ribbon.Quills may be obtained in tho co ors quoted and also in tbe brighter sha os an changeable effects ; the pad CO a arto ever, more popular and atbog x smarter.The larger hats are in velvet and felt, wi t decided preference for fol Jho felts displayed y ver ne qu ; ¢ dommon with the stiff materials sometimes called by thal name.Al {ne olive sn rown man rays, es, IX s, tone, fons, ed Driglit Feds, are seen in the large felt hats.THE FLAMING RED -e been relegated to asingle shape seems Lo have rare-cornered, broad-brimmed hat, the brim being turned up the back and the trimming massed at the back and over the crown.loops of black moire ribbon r black cock\u2019s feathers are the famed ccora tion.These red hatsare usnaily worn Ni black costumes trimmed perhaps W ith a le gold braid, but there is an evident li sing the black and red contrast throughout.THE PURITAN SHAPE, mi ith its rather low crown and broad brim, is Ne ed on one side and has the decoration massed or starting from there.À ple- turesque bat of this style has its brim So fin ished that binding is necessary, thoug 1 the narrow band ot stecl passementerie only Serves to bring out the odd gray shade, which seems undecided whether to be blue or not.A wider band of stect pussementerie isabout the grown and when the brim is caught up, is l'astenc La cluster of small dark green tips and a single long pluie that falls far back and over he brim.The tips and plume are apparen ly held in place by a long, finely cut sieel buckle carefully placed.NOVELTIES IN RIBBONS are the changeable moire and the two-toned varieties.Tue mode is very effective, but it will be short-lived unless woman is more faithful to one kid of ribbon than she has ever been.All the fashionable tonus are employed, and the fashionable contrasts in these ribbons are uscd to forin pretty loops and ties on bonnets.The ribbon shining two shades of one color iy a soft gros-grain, the division of the shades being absolutely even.Olive and brown, superb and dull red, heliotrope and blue, yellow and brown, tan and absinthe, blue and green, bright red and black, orange and black, absinthe and dark biue, and mauve and absinthe are contrasts that are cspeclally fancied.The black and red ribbon is sewn on black felt bonnets, the popularity of this contrast being thoroug:.ly well assured.FASHIONABLE FANCIES.Alternate inch-wide strips of satin and grosgrain are seen for evening wear in aspeye and black.Lu Veloutine, that soft silky combination of silk and wool, is growing in favor, and will be used for gowns that are designed for visiting, reception or opera wear.Exquisite lace pins are the enameled English violets that have a small diamond ser in the outer leaf.\u2018The Marquise finger ring is greatly admired : it consists of a row of diamonds surrounded by sapphires, Evening gloves are worn long enough to meet the sleeves.The laces, tulles and gauzes for evening wear are the handsomest cver exhibited, and the tints are so numerous that every complexion ean be suited.Four buttoned gloves finished with embroidery are selec ed for s:rect wear.Morning sacqucs of flannel! or cashmere are made with a Fedora vest of surah, and others are made like the ** Lucille.\u201d Daintily hem-stitched tea aprons are among the noveities liked by young ladies; they are gathered over a band of ribbon which is sufficientiy long to fo: m a bow with ends.Sontache braiding covers the surface of some of the new wool goods, and this is used for underskirts and wraps or basques, the drapery being of the plain goods.There is no abatement in the fancy for silk or wool jerseys, but the novel ones are those with shirred or gathered fronts and are preferred to the plain, tight-fitting ones.Black silk dresses are trimmed with lace and passementerie and completed with a girdle, collar and cuffs of jet or silk cord * BETSY BANKER,\u201d =.CORRESPONDENCE.The Mechanics\u2019 Institute.To the Editor of THE HERALD.SI1R,\u2014The angry correspondent who, over the signature of ** A mechanic and life member of thirty years sianding,\u201d asserts thal \u201cwe\u201d repudiated the pretensions of some 2rsons whom he clsewhere designates as \u2018\u201c professional free educated gentry \u201d appears to know marvelously litile about the Institute he hasbeen a member of so long.If he was in the habit of attending any of the meetings ofthe Institute\u2019s members, or frequenting the reading room, he would discover that it is managed, not by mechanics, but by employers of labor, merchants and men of income, and that it was frequented by the same class.If he did not confine his interest in the institution he professes to be so proud of to misunderstanding publie proposals concerning it (for he evidently refers to the recent proposal for consolidation of our institution), this so called * mechanic?\u201d might have discovered before this that the one hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars of endowment of the Institute is practically devoted to providing a club room for a sct of very estimable old gentlemen (one whom the raid life member of 45 years clearly is) who like to come down once a day, and have a comfortable place to stroll into, aud for a number of young clerks who spend their dinner hour, no doubt to good usc.The Institute is, in fact, a Mechanic\u2019s Institute in name, and within the meaning of the liberal act,and in no other Way.A glance at the character ofthe periodicals in the reading-room should satisfy\" ** Mechanic\u2019 that the Iustitute has long since ceased to be anything like his ideal.Amid a profusion of literary and political magazines and journals he will find the ScientificjAerican, its supplement, a couple of building weeklies, and that is about all the technical and scientific literature provided.The.reading-room of the Board of Trade is as well, if not better, provided with this class of literature.During the last five years two successful efforts to do something for the mechanic proper have been made by the Institute.The first was a series of lectures on plumbing which attracted a great dcal of interest not only in the trade but among the public generally.The second was a series of lectures delivered before an affiliated society, that of the stationary engineers, on the Triple Expansion Engine, and this series was also a great success.Both the lecturers were Mont- reai men, and both proved themselves masters of their subject.The success of these two series of lectures and the refusal of the real mechanics to join the Institute and frequent the reading room is a proof that whan has taken place in other cities has taken place in Montreal.The mechanic is not now dependent for his reading matter on any institute.He can buy au immense variety of books without paying more than thirly cents a volume for them, and he not unfrequently reads two evening papers.If he wants to read he can and will do his reading at home, and it is \u2018better that he should.What the mechanie and every workingman docs want at the present time is technical knowledge, and the low state of this here, is a proverb in the trades.It is not enough that he should loarn the rule of thumb of his trade ; if he is a true workingman he desires to know the whys and the wherefores,\u2014the scientific principles that underlie his work, The apprentice wants more than this.He wants an opportunity of becoming an all-round workingman, and unfortunately there is little chance of his being able to do this in a big modern shop.It is the work of supplying this knowledge which the Mechanics Institute should take up.It should leave to the \u201cFraser\u201d the library work, which that institute can do very well, and become a true Mechanics\u2019 Institute, managed by Mechanics for Mechanies.It is for the mechanics themselves to say what such an institute should be, but there are certain things which it might do.It might give courses of winter lectures to the iron-workers on metals, to the wood-workers on trees, to the painter on the chemistry of oils, ete., and the principle of coloring.It might establish classes where the apprentice could learn the inner secrets of his trade, and train his hand as well as his mind.It might establish a museum of mechanical appliances, and keep up a library of technical and scientific works.There are hundreds of other things it might do if it once became a true mechanics\u2019 institute.What is to become of the mechanics who are \u201clife members of forty-five years\u2019 standing\u201d however?It would be cruel to deprive them of their club-room, to force some of them even to rent down town offices.Besides the clerks who at present frequent the reading-room deserve cousideration.This can bu shown, I submit, by making an arrangement by which the \u201cFEDERATED INSTITUTES\" would undertake to keep up a reading-room and branch library on or near St.James street, if enough subscribers could be found to pay the expenses of such an establishment.They are quite able to do so, and they should 0 so.CONFEDERATOR.To the Editor of THE HERALD.SIR :\u2014I notice by THE HERALD this morning that Mr.Wiman is to visit this city next week.Ifso I would suggost that the citizens invite him to address them on the subject of unrestricted reciprocity with the United States.I did think that on such an important subject where the interests of the Dominion are so intimately connected, tne Board of Trade would have ere this discussed the matter very fully, seeing so many interests of the Dominion are represented at the Board, but the Council seem to ignore the question altogether.Perhaps it\u2019s bencath their notice, or peradventure above and beyond their ken, however so important does the question seem to the majority o fthe people of the Dominion that every town and village outside she Province of Quebec have held meetings and almost unanimously voted in its favor: but then this is the most conservative spot of the Domin o:a.and only'se- #8 hrough dark glasses.However, 1 trust THE HERALD wil! back u the suggestion of inviting Mr, Wiman to address the citizens ou unrestricted reciprocity before he leaves the city, and subscribe myself
