Explored.Thrilling Stories of Hairbreadth Escapes.[SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.] New Grasaow, N.S., Feb.12.\u2014The Coroner\u2019s jury in the case of the victims of the Vale colliery disaster returned a verdict of \u201cDeath by gas explosion, causes unknown,\u201d and recommended that in the future safety lamps be used in all new working places.The management was completely exonerated from all responsibility for the disaster, THE HERALD cor- yespondent explored the wrecked mine to-day and visited the chief points where the men met their death.The bottom of the pit was flooded, owing to the breakage of the pumps.The survivors tell thrilling stories of hairbreadth escapes in their fight with the grim monster Death.The more, that is learned about the cause of the accident, the more miraculous their escapes appear.Six men were work ing in a group where the explosion oceur- red ; these were all instantly killed, but it was a remarkable fact that the powder in their cans did not explode.Six other men were working in groups 1,200 feet distant, or half-way to the surface ; three of these were killed and badly cut up, and three companions, who were boys, escaped with their lives, and while these thus escaped another man at work 200 feet further away from the scene of the accident, was killed, The disaster and its effect were most extraordinary and mysterious.\u2014,

delay in turning on the new water supply.It is said that the main is either frozen or burst in several places, owing to the pipes not having been laid deep enough in the earth to protect them from the frost.The work, however, has not been handed over to the city as completed, and the contractor is therefore responsible for all accidents.A club is being formed here composed of hunting and fishing sportsmen, the object being to enforce the law in reference to fish and game.His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor has been elected atron of the club; F.X.Fortier, presi- Rent C.E.Dubord, vice-president;

Radicals urged the recall of General Gordon before it should become too late ; and advised that he should make a stand at Wady Halfa, where he could collect all available troops from Upper and Lower Egypt, and await the coming of the Mahdi.The Radicals now argue that if their advice had been adopted, the Arabs nstead of the British would have had the toils and casualities.of the desert march, that Gordon would still be alive, and that Egypt would be much safer than it is at present.It is probable that Right Hon.Joseph Chamberlain and his Radical followers will still urge this plan of campaign, with necessary modifications, as soon as the House re-assembles, THE GERMAN HOG.Threatened International Difficulties.LonDoN, February 12,\u2014There is im- tense excitement in New Zealand

Correspondence.LoNDoN, February 12.\u2014A number of unpublished letters of Lord and Lady Byron have been offered for sale at public auction.In one of the letters Lady Byron writes : \u201cLord Byron married me with the deepest determination of revenge, which he avowed to me on the day of our marriage, and which he has executed ever since with systematic and intreasing cruelty.\u201d There are others written in the same strain.Also, the correspondence of Lady Byron with Augusta, the poet's sister, referring to the family differences.The letters suggest nothing to support the scandalous charges made by Mrs, Harriet Beecher Stowe.A MASONIC SENSATION.Consternation Created Among the Order.What a Prominent French Member Has to Say.Paris, February 12.\u2014Ex-Prefect of Police Andrieux recently published a partial expose of the secrets of Masonry.He has received a communication from the lodge in which he was initiated, charging him with violating his Masonic oath, and demanding to know whether he has any observation to make concerning the crime of which he is accused.The letter says if no reply is received by February 11 the executive committee will declare whether the penalty shall be pronounced.Andrieux, in reply, says: \u201cYou pretend that I have violated my oath, the text of which is as follows: \u201cI do solemnly swear never to reveal the mysteries of Freemasonry under the penalty of having my head cut off, my tongue torn out and my body cast into the sea where it will be forever rolled by the ebb and flow of the tide.\u201dPermit me to observe that an oath, like a confession, is indivisible.If the first part of your formula is serious, the second part is also.If you talk about the ebb and flow of the tide merely to mock and poke fun at Masons there is no reason why I should not also poke fun when I talk about your mysteries, I shall not reveal anything, but if I should see fit to reveal anything you should, if your arrangement is serious, submit me to the torture above described.Are you prepared to do so ?\u201d The Freemasons regard this as an open defiance.Ithas caused a great sensation, LA PATRIE LECTURES, Life in Mexico, by Mr.P.M.Sauvalle.Mr.P.M.Sauvalle delivered a lecture at La Patrie Hall last evening entitled Lifein Mexico, a subject he was well qualified to deal with, having edited a paper in the city of Mexico and taken such à prominent part in public affairs as to cause him to be expelled from the Republic.The lecturer firs® gave a description of his arrival in Vera Cruz some two years and a half ago, and the impressions he received of the city itself,the climate and manners and customs of the natives.He then gave a detailed account of the trip from Vera Cruz to Mexico with interesting particulars concerning the railroad itself and the method of working it.Once in Mexico [that is,the city of Mexico] the lecturer stated that he took charge ofa aper called \u2018Le Trait d\u2019Union\u201d [The yphen] and began to interest himself in the questions of the hour.The Republic was then under the Presidency of Gonzales, and in order to raise money an obnoxious stamp act was forced upon the people as a species of internal revenue.A number of vigorous articles against this law were written by the lecturer, which aroused the ire of the Government.The speaker here read to the audience several of the articles in question.With hardly any warning, he was arrested one day in a coffee-house and conveyed to jail.The game night he was sent under guard to Vera Cruz and placed upon a steamer bound for New York, where he arrived last June.The lecturer then gave a further description of the places he had visited while on Mexican soil, devoting some time to an account of the Central Railway running from Mexico to El Paso.He also gave graphic descriptions of the cities of Quera- taro, Leon, Acquascalientes, Guanuaguato, Zacatecos, Chihuahua, ete., and gave an interesting resume of the political condition of the country, its relations with the rest of the continent, and its probable destiny, The latter he believed to be annexation to the United States.At the conclusion of the lecture, Mr.Sauvalle was tendered a vote of thanks.YOUNG MEN !\u2014READ THIS, .Tae Vorraio Birr Co., of Marshall Mich., offer to send their celebrated ELEo- TRO-VoLTAIG Brrr and other ELxoTRIO APPLIANCES on

excitement in military circles are immense, The military critics are gloomy over the two grave features of the new policy.One of these is that a summer campaign has been decided on and this promises frightful losses, both from the nature of the climate and the battles that will be fought.The other isthat General Roberts has been again shelved by partisan bigotry that existsin the Cabinet, and the command given to General Graham.General Roberts\u2019 appointment would have inspired universal trust.It is known General Wolseley accepted certain conditions from the Cabinet which he himself believed to be dangerous, in his eagerness to prevent the choice of Roberts for the original expedition There is no - doubt four-fifths of the English people are blindly insistent on smashing the Mahdi at whatever cost.- The Tory Bishop of Liverpool has caused a sensation by declaring that God is punishing the nation for its errors by filling the minds of its rulers with folly.In the terrible stress of the national bereavement and peril a feeling of contemptuous anger is general over the fact that the Queen is preparing for the lachrymose anniversary celebration of the Duke of Albany\u2019s death and for a visit to Darmstadt to lavish on the beggarly German Princes, attentions and familiarities which are never permit- ed to her own subjects.The Star in the East.SouDpAN, February 12.\u2014Wolseley telegraphs again that no reliable particulars about the fate of General Gordon has yet been received.He assures the Ministry that the press reports have all been based on the rumors collected by General Wilson\u2019s party upon their return down the Nile.The Mudir of Dongola and all of the natives thereabouts persist in the belief that Khartoum has not yet fallen.General Wilson, however, is positive that there can be little or no doubt on this point.General Wolseley hopes to receive in a few days specific and reliable information concerning the situation at Khartoum from the trusty spies.General Wolseley believes there can be no more fighting along the Nile until Brackenbury reaches Berber.The Battle of Birti a Dearly Purchased Vietory.LONDoN, Feb, 12.\u2014General Wolseley telegraphs from Korti as follows: Gen.Brackenbury, who took command of the forces advancing up the Nile when General Earle fell, says the message being sent from Dulka Island, about 70 miles above Merawi, the following report of the engagement: The attack was well planned and gellantly executed.Our expectation is that the effect of the battle will be to open the way to Berber without any further fighting.The rebels held a high ridge hills, with some advanced koppies in front, close to the river, Six companies of the Black Watch regiment and six companies of the Fourth Staffordshire regiment marched around the high ridge of hills entirely turning the enemy\u2019s position, which was attacked from the rear.The number of the enemy was not great but their position was extremely strong and difficult of access, and they fought with the most determined bravery.The Black Watch advanced over the rocks and broken ground upon the koppies; they answered the fire in the coolest manner possible, and after they had driven off the enemy\u2019s charge, they stormed the osition under a heavy fire.General Farle was among the foremost in this attack, and to the deep sorrow of ever officer and man in the force, he was killed just as the summit of the first Koppie was reached.At the same time six companies of the Staffordshire regiment went to attack the high ridge, the way to which lay over the most difficult ground possible.In this attack the gallant commanding officer,Lieut.-Colonel Eyre was killed., Meanwhile the Hussars had captured the enemy\u2019s camp and our success was complete.Ten of the enemy\u2019s standards fell into our hands, The enemy\u2019s losses were great, and their dead lie thick among the rocks, and in the open space where they tried to rush through our advancing force, where they found themselves surrounded.Scarcely any of the enemy ean have escaped.Besides General Earle, who was killed by a bullet fired {rom a small hut, and Lieut.-Col.Eyre, the British slain numbered Lieut.-Col.Coveney and nine ren of the rank and file ; four officers and forty-two men were wounded, These have been brought to Dulka

department of t the county alms house in West Philadelphia at 9 o\u2019clock to-night.The flames spread rapidly, and before the 300 in- - mates could be released 19 were burned to death.Others were left to roam about the grounds at will, and many were picked up by the police throughout the city.The building at 11 o\u2019clock were e still burning.The other departments 1 are in great danger.From the conflicting accounts to be obtained it appears at first the alarm was given by an insane patient on the first floor of the main building named Nadine, who occupied a room adjoining the stairway and drying-room with twenty other quiet patients, He saw the smoke issuing from above the door opening into the wing containing cells He ran to the iron-grated door fronting on the main corridor and cried out \u201cfire.\u201d This fearful sound reached the ears of Joseph Shroeder, an attendant of the ground floor, who was in his room directly opposite the one from which Nadine gave the alarm.Mrs.Umpstead, who has general charge at night, says it was about 8 o\u2019clock when the alarm reached her.She was in her office, about 200 feet from the dry room,and at once hurried to the scene.Shesays the attempt was made to put out the flame with buckets of water, and af first it was supposed the flames wexe only burning from the ground floor, near the stairway, but in almost an instant it was found the real point from which danger came was the second floor at the top of and above the dry room.She ther hastened to get all the patients fromthe main part of the building, but to no.use, the unfortunate occupants of the cells were being smothered to death by the smoke and blistered and burned by the flames.Their cries were heartrending.Some of them cursed and swore, others laughed hideously, and vthers yelled with pain, with such awful cries as Would have appalled the hardest heart, The building in which 3, There are 1,000 armed members of dif- | St.Lours,

Sir Leonard Tilley said the subject had \u2018been under the consideration of the Post- mister General and the Government.At resent deposits of a dollar could be made in the Post Office Savings Banks.To introduce a system of receiving smaller deposits by tue purchase of stamps would entail a cost on the Government of 4 per cent interest to depositors and the 3 per cent commission usually paid to stamp vendors, which, with the expense of printing, would make a total cost to the Government of about 8 per cent.The Government had not altogether rejected the scheme of en-| couraging small savings, but they had no present intention of adopting the stamp system referred to.The motion wad carried.Mr.Blake in moving for a statement showing the expenditure by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company upon its main line of railway between Callander and Port Arthur and between Selkirk and.Kamloops since the expenditure of $23,078,950,.as shownfby the letter of Mr.Stephen to the Mini.ter of Railways and Canals of the 15th of January, 1884, etc, said the object of the motion was to ascertain the condition of the enterprise in so far as it related to the cost of construct ing and equipping the contracted line There had been expended on the main line, including the rolling stock, material on hand, which he assumed to be properly applicable to the other branches, and shops, tools, etc, $33,950,000, and the estimate laid before them to com- lete the road and equip it, viz.27,000,000, made the total cost a trifle under $61,000,000.Last fall the Vice- President and Chief Engineer of the road declared in a formal document that the result of the explorations and practical work indicated that there had been an over-estimate of $4,000,000, thus reducing the total cost of completing and equipping the.main line referred to to a trifle under $57,000,000.On the other hand the assets which were available to the company for the work, were the original stock, which by contract and concession .to them they were bound to subscribe for and did subscribe for and pay 1n full, and which was $5,000,000; subsidy, $26,000, 000; loan of last session $22,500,000; proceeds of land grant bonds, $9,200,000; Winnipeg bonus and other land sales, $700,000; or an aggregate of $62,600,000, to which was to be added $1,000,000 for further sales of land grant \u2018bonds up to January, 1834, or a grand aggregate of $63,600,000, making an excess of assets over the cost of construction of $6,600, 000.But notwithstanding this showing rumors were again afloat that the Company was in straits.An article appeared In a newspaper which Was not unfriendly to the Government, and certainly not unfriendly to the Canadian Pacific Raitway,\u2014a paper which had recently received added lustre from its change of ownership,\u2014in which a scheme was advocated of securing additional aid for the Company by turning over part of theirdands to the Government.Whatever was to be done, he believed it was better on all accounts that the House should be possessed of all the information on the subject, and should take whatever action it thought necessary during the session, rather than by executive action after Par- liam#nt had\u201d risen.He «referred to the events of last session, when he believed the Government, owing to a sort of revival of the Maison Blene combination and influence, had considerable difficulty in reconciling all the elements of its following to the grant of aid to the Company, and expressed the hope that the Government would not, in order to avoid having to face this question before Tis followers in the House, show its contempt for Parliament by taking no aon this subject till the session had lose: BE Mr.Mitchell, referring to the remarks of the leader of the Opposition about a para- aph in bis paper, THE MONTREAL ERALD, said that the scheme of relieving the Canadian Pacific Railway Company y thé Government taking over part of their lands was first mooted in'the Toronto Globe ™ Notwithstanding all tbe abuse of.the HeraLD and its owner which appeared in the chief Opposition organ, he wished to state that that jgarsal was bound to support neither © \u20ac Govérument nor the Canadian Pacific \u2018Railway.It was published as representing the sentiments of its owner, who had shown by his public acts in the House as much independeuce, if not more, than most of its members.On looking over the files of the papers in the reading room, he said there were -tatements made in reference to the HERALD which, he thought, should be called to the attention of tue Library Committee, The Canadian Pacitic Railway wus a great work, and the Goverument, in sustaining it as tliey had done, had shown that they were acticg in the true interests of the country.He had chosen to give, through the columns of his paper, his ideas of what he believed was the duty of the Government in this matter uninspired by the Government or the Canadian Pacific Railway, or even the Grand Truok.[Laughter and cheers.) Mr.Chapleau said he would not have taken part in the debate had not Mr.Blake made some remark which tended to asperse the French section of the Government following His hon.friend had said that last year was a kind of repetition of the domination of the Maison Bleue, but he (Mr.Blake) had had a bitter experience last year when he tried to build up a little Maison Rouge out of the French Conservative members who usually congregated in Number 8, and he knew how the disjointed planks of that little room were thrown over his head.What did Number 8 do after all?They \u2018made their application, and the vote was taken publicly in the House, and the consequence was that the hon.member for West Durham was so much ashamed that he dared not.take his seat at the end of the session.constitutional, ard succeeded because it wae both constitutional and loyal to its party and to its principles, and his hon.friend should never have brought the matter before the House, which was evidenced by the solemn vote of several of his (Mr.Blake\u2019s) followers.(Cheers).The bon.gentleman and most of his party had frequently taken occasion to attack the Maison Bleue organization and its actions in reference to the Letellier matter, but one distinguished member of that party, the late Mr.Holton, dissented from them on this point.He made these remarks because it was the first time these aspersions had been thrown at hon.gentlemen on his (Mr.Chapleau\u2019s) side of the House by both hon.gentlemen opposite and their party organs, and he had thought it his duty to make an explanation to the House.Mr.Laurier said that the hon.gentleman had endeavored to cover the name of the Maison Bléue in its most contemptible haction by the honored name of the late Mr.Holton.* Mr.Holton had never sanctioned the act of the Conservative party in dismissing Mr.Letellier for an act for which he was responsible only to the Provincial Legislature.Mr.Chapleau explained that what he had stated was that the late Mr.Holton disapproved of the action of Mr, Letellier, and that when the vote to condemn him was taken, Mr.Holton was not in his place in the House because he could not condemn the action of the Government in dismissing him.(Cheers.) Mr.Ouimet thanked the hon.member for Quebec East for the compliment he had paid to French Conservative members for standing up, instead of going on the knees, when pressing the claims of the Province of Quebec.It came with bad grace from the leader of the Opposition to say that they were disloyal the moment they pressed their claims against the Government.What would result if they were to follow his advice?They would be there for nothing, and in the humiliating position that had been occupied for five years by his friends behind him (Mr.Blake , representing, or pretending to représent, the interests of the Province of Quebec, but who were able to do nothiug for their native Province.(Cheers).Mr.Blake said be obtained his information from Government organs, whose correspondents occasionally cast a lurid light upon the doings of Number 8.Those over whom Number 8 triumphed were really the friends of the hon.gentleman (Mr.Chapleau) himself in form and substance, and in sense and spirit of the statement made by him to the effect that he (Mr.Blake) tried to build up a live Maison Rouge out of Number 8 was absolutely and entirely without foundation.He had nothing to do with his cabal, he had nothing to do with his intrigue, he had nothing to do with his negotiations, he had nothing to do with his struggles, compromise or arrangements.It was not by such means that he hoped to advance his party.Several motions for papers were carried, and the House adjourned at 6.10 p.m, ADVICE TO OTHE BB Are you disturbed at night and broken of your rest by a sick child suffering and crying with pain of cutting teeth ?i 80, send at once and get a bottle of Mrs.WinsLow\u2019s S00THING SYRUP For CHILDREN TeerEive.Its value is incalculable, It will relieve the poor little sufferer immediately.Depend upon it, mothers, there ie no mistake about it.It cures dysentery and diarrhoea, regulates the stomach and bowels, cures wind colic softens the gums, reduces inflammation, and gives tore and energy to the whole system.Mrs.WiNs- Low's SoorTHING SYRUP FOR CHILDREN TEETHING i8 pleasant to the taste and is the prescription of one of the oldest and best female nurses and physicians in the United States, and is for sale by all druggists throughout the world.Price 25 centsa bottle.Post Free, for Two Shillings (under cover) from Dr.ADAIR, The Museum or SolENoE ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND.SIX LITERARY PHOTOGRAPHS.A Medical Work for Private Study, dedicated to Young Men and Middle Aged.ERVOUS & GENERAL DEBILITY {Is the one black spot that clouds the sunshine of existence, especially about the age of 20\u2014many in consequence are bowed down by feebleness and depression, the result of indiscretion and the infringement of natures laws, and the Middle Aged sufter from Diseases and Infirmities of the generative and sexual sys tems, which if neglected entail serious results.: : Thusall having doubté as to their health should READ THE ABOVE MEDICAL ADVISER, By the same Author, Post Free, Two Shillings, The Lapies\u2019 Guipe To HEATH and Happiness.Treating on Marriage, Unfer- tile and Unhappy Unions, Weakness, Functional De- rangements .d other ailments peculiar to the sex, with remarks on the latest special remedies and appli ances for the relief and removal thereof.All Letters with details of case and seeking advice must contain one guinea fee {0 ensure prompt attention, and must be addressed Dr.ADAIR, Tue Museum OF SCIENCE AND ANATOMY ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND, ta 307 Number 8 was loyal, was | THE MONTREAL HERALD, AND DAILY COMMERCIA THE erald Is One of the Best 1 C WEEKLY PAPERS Published in the Dominion of Canada.It is published at the low price of 81.00 Per Annum PAYABLE IN ADVANCE, Tre WEEKLY HERALD Is an Eight Page Paper, Seven Columns to the Page, making.56 Columns in all, of the choicest reading matter, viz :\u2014 Editorials onCurrent Events !

alike creditable to the country, the Govern- ' ment, and the people who were carrying it \u201cout.He wld the House that the Globe - had stated that: the land would be taken back by the@overnment at one dollar per : agre, and he expressed his opinion that it , + Should not te taken back at less than half *the valuation Mr.Blake had put on it, \u201cwhich varied \u2018from three to five dollars.i He was emphatic in his denial of being in the confidence of the Government or the Canadian Pacific.Railway in the matter, -and said he spoke in the interests of the county he represented, and intimated that : his independence in Parliament equalled that of any, and surpassed that -of many members of the body.He referred to the injudicious remarks about the country that had been made by some of Mr.Blake's friends in the press, in saying that very likely the Canadian Pacific Railway (will want aid, and intimated his intention of assisting an undertaking s0 essential and so creditable to Canada.SOME: WARM PASSAGES occurred between Messrs.Blake and Lan- rier oe one side and Messrs, Chapleau and Ouimet on the other.on the subject of the Maisen Bleue war upon Governor Letellier and the alleged coercion put upon the-Gov- ernment last session by their French supporters in the matter of railway adjustment.Mr.Chapleau charged Mr.Blake with having attempted to capture the Maison Eleue 1n the Reform interests, which Mr.Blake denied, and one hears that the gentlemen constituting that Maison .Bleu force intend to follow up their charge and to endeavor to prove that Mr.Blake's memory has failed him on this occasion.THE GRAND TRUNK have placarded Toronto and elsewhere with bills headed \u201cAnti-Scott Delegation\u201d stai- ing that trains will leave \u201cToronto 10 take the delegates to Ottawa for the 17th, return tickets good for ten days, $5.\u2018There- upou the Canadian Pacific placarded an » excursion to visit the Parliament buildings, return tickets good for ten days, $4; so that we may expect a motley and a lively «crowd.Apropos of the Grand Trunk, Mr.Mitchell has given notice that he will move for the copy of the document con- - taining the .ASSURANCE RECEIVED BY THE GOVERNMENT on or about the 17th of April last from the Grand, Trunk, referred to by Sir John Macdonald in the House of Commons, to the effect that the Grand Trunx would set aside one:million sterling for the purpose .of .double-tracking that road between Montreal and Toronto ; also for a copy of the report of the denial of said assurance .and of the statements alleged to have been made in respect of it by Sir Henry Tyler, President of the said company, at the meeting thereof held in London shortly aften the said announcement; and copies of all correspondence between the Govern- meut and any efficial of said company :respectipg said assurance.This refers to «what 1 have heard described as the Grand Trunk\u2019s office.\u2014T.J.P.THE MONTREAL WEEKLY HERALD certain additions tothe contents of the paper will be made at once.AN AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT Agricultural readers.Contri-, butions to this Department are invited and will be welcomed, A VETERINARY DEPARTMENT will also be added and placed the Dominion.Other Special Departments will be opened at an early day.LI The Subscription Price of Tue MonteEAL WEEKLY HERALD is ONE DOLLAR PER ANNUM, Strictly in Advance.We keep NO ACCOUNTS with Subscribers.Special Terms are offered to persons who get up Clubs, or to those who choose to club together and send in their Subscriptions to expire at the same date.Thus: A Club of TEN, - - $ 7.50 A Club of TWENTY, - 14.00 A Club of THIRTY, - 20.00 We are prepared to correspond with parties who wish to get up Clubs or to canvass for this Paper.The most Liberal Terms will be offered.AGENTS WANTED!

Jerusalem the Centre of the Almighty\u2019s Operations.A Literal ¥ell \u2014 7 ne World a Hollow Globe Filled with Fire\u2014 Tho Garden of Eden Carried Up to Heaven.[London Saturday Revlew.] 1 Qur readers will recollect our ooticing about two months ago General Gordons Reflections in Palestine, which we described, according to its obvious character, as \u201ca general theological disquisition ;\u201d and we pointed out its remarkable testimony, amid strange and perplexing incoherencies, to the growing \u201c appreciation of historical and sacramental Christianity.\u201d We are not at all surprised, however, to learn, from the opening of Mr.Mallock\u2019s paper called General Gordon\u2019s Message\u201d in the Fortnightly Review, that the General him- gelf shares the impression made on his readers that this little book does not adequately exhibit * any coherent system \u201d of theology.And, as he actually holds a very definite and peculiar systeun of belief, while moreover he left England for the Soudan with the conviction firmly fixed in his mind \u201d\u2014which every one must hope to see falsifled by the event\u2014\u2018 that he will never return alive,\u201d it is only natural that he should be anxious to provide against these convictions, to which he attaches a supreme importance, being lost to the world.He therefore desired an intimate friead, to whom he had entrusted certain unpublished manuscripts, to use them for giving the world a coherent account of his religious views, the disjecta membra of which, so to speak, can alone be recognized in his little work on Palestine.This friend, for reasons left unexplained, asked Mr.Mallock to undertake the task, and he agreed to do so.on condition that he was not to be understood as himself adopting General Gordon\u2019s views, or even thinking them a valuable contribution to theological science, while at the same time they do in many ways excite his interest and sympathy ; and there he will certainly find not a few to agree with him.It is hardly necessary for us to premige that, while some of these theories appear to us in a high degree fanciful\u2014if not more than fanciful\u2014nothing can be further from our intention, in the brief sketches we propose to give here, than to cast any ridicule upon them.The sacredness of the theme and the transparent sincerity AND NOBLE CHARACTER OF THE MAN himself alike forbid all temptation to such trifling.And now, without further preface, we will do our best within our limited space to put our readers in possession of a theologieal scheme which, if original in its present shape, will be seen to have close and curious affinities\u2014the more curious because apparently unsuspected by its author\u2014with hoth the formal teachings and the informal but current oploions of medieval and later Catholicism.The opening passages cited are so completely in the manner of an inspired prophet that they might have come from t.Bernard or Savoriarola, and make one marvel that he who so speaks should not have felt the Christian ministry, rather than the army, to Le his proper sphere.The distinctive spirit and substance of the teaching is well summed up by Mr, Maly lock in the following passage :\u2014 When an ordinary preacher of to-day uses the traditional phrases of religion\u2014 when he speaks of hell, of Jerusalem, of union with the body of Christ, of the warfare between flesh and spirit, and the contrast between earth and heaven\u2014he 18 at once understood to be dealing - merely in metaphors.But to the writer from whence the above passages are taken such phrases as these have a meaning as literal as they had to Dante.Hell for him is a veritable abyss of fire ; the new Jerusalem is a veritable city in the heavens; and the Jerusalem on the earth is a spot so sacred, that the configuration of the ground it stands upon is a hieroglyphic designed by God.Over that spot, in a special way, the glory of God is still hovering in the firmament ; Christ, with human eve, still looks down on the place of his erucifixion ; and whenever the sacrament of the altar is celebrated, an angel descends from above with a drop of the blessed blood, and mixes it with the bread and wine.\u201d General Gordon's whole theological system may be said to rest on his peculiar conception of the material world\u2014not the universe, for with stars and planets he meddles not, considering this earth, as the preordained dwelling place of man, to be the special theatre of the work of Divine Providence.And hence the unique importance he attachés, as readers of his book on Palestine will recollect, to THE PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY OF JERUSALEM.To him Jerusalem is a place so sacred, and so marked out by God ag the centre of His operations, that a mystical meaning may be found in its.situation and in the very shape of its rocks.Thus, * the whole outline of this sacred eastern hill, lying opposite the Monnt of Olives, bears a rough and large resemblance to the human form: from the Skull Hill [Calvary] on the north-north-west, the body lies\u2014as did that of the victim\u2014aslant or askew to the altar of burnt sacrifices.\u201d And then, again, the Valley of Tophet, which was ¢ the pleasure park of Jerusalem,\u201d becomes \u201c\u201c a type of the world, close to Gehenna, the Valley of Fire, leading to the Abyss, the Dead Sea.\u201d This \u2018 Skull Hill,\u201d which he commonly calls \u201cthe Rock,\u201d is indeed for General Gordon the historical pivot of the world, and he refers te an Arabian tradition that this Rock came down from.heaven, and out of its multiplied substance was fashioned the whole earth and the first man, who found his grave beneath it.We may note in passing that there is also a Jewish tradition of Adam being buried on Mount Cal vary, which is mentioned by Origen and several of the Christian Fathers.General Gordon further thinks that the Rock was the first dry land to emerge from the waters which originally covered the whole earth, and \u201cthat it had a history even before it emerged, connected with Lucifer or Eblis, which appears to have been TRE NAME OF THE DEVIL after the fall.\u201d In that prehistoric age the devil and his angels endeavored fo found on the still subaqueous Rock the capital of an abiding kingdom, whence he is\u2018called in Scripture ¢ the prince of this world\u201d That however is propounded rather as matter of pious opinion than of faith.The history of creation is thus introduced : \u2014 \u201cGod then divides the waters into two divisions, one set of waters above that firmament, the other set of waters below that firmament.He calls the firmament Heaven, He synagogues the set of waters under the firmament into one place, and calls them seas.The firmament, or heaven, denotes something beaten out like a thin plate, and it is evident that this firmament or heaven is the paved work of a sapphire, the body of heaven in its clearness, on which rests the feet of God.Therefore the division between the waters above, and the waters below the firmament, is the place on which God\u2019s throne THE MONTREAL HERALD,;AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 183.now rests.It is above the waters or seas of the earth, it is below the waiers that are above the throne of God (which lset, he says in another place, are the rainbow about the throne,urationed in Revelation,) and hence evideatly on this beaten surface is the throne cf tod, the true ark of the Covenant.God, when He made the firmament on which His throne rests, did

tonnage but the incoiue bave only been between three and four per cent.Jess than last year.The reduction made on grain alone during June to September came to.more than the lessened income, while coal, because of railroad com petition, caused a reduction of about $3,000 more.- THE PROSPECTS FOR THE COMING YEAR, 80 far as we can learn, are that we may expect a considerable increase of tonnage, additional accommodation being asked for by various parties, This, coupled with the opening late last year of another ontlet to the west by the completion of the Quebec and Ontario Railway, which has ncar- ly 600 miles of rail, will no doubt couvsider- ably increase the trade of the port, while «the opening in August next of the Canadian Pacific Railway from ocean to ocean on our own territory, comprising nearly 83,4000 miles of track, must soon tax tu a much greater extent than in the past, the accommodation we can give in the harbor of Montreal, and to meet tl:is requirement, extensive improvements will be necessary.Personally I have felt for years past we - could not expect to bring any Jarge share of the wheat exports of the Western States : through Montreal, but now that we are about to have the shortest line from our reat North-West, it is only reasunable to ope that every bushel which bas to be - shipped from that great country will, in summer, pass through the St.Lawrence route.In this connection, one of the most pressing questions which has to be dealt with is the accommodation which will be required by railways for tracks on the wharves.There are at present two single tracks on the wharves having no connection with each other\u2014one, extending over a por-.-tion of the harbor, worked by the Graud .Trunk Railway, to whom permission to lay down tracks was granted by our predecessors in 1871, and the other, the yro- perty of the Commissioners, running along the greater portion of the wharves, and \u201c worked by the Canadian Pacific Railway.After permission was given the Grand Trunk Railway to lay tracks, it was found advisable that .all the tracks on the wharves should be the property of the \u2018Harbor Commissioners only, aud be open for use by all railways on equal terms, and efforts have for some time back and are now being made, in the interests of the harbor, to have these tracks amalgamated, s0 that they may be worked iu common.Such an arrangement would greatly facilitate the handling of the cars on the whazves, as well as increase the capacity of the rails now laid.One of the most important steps taken in the interest of the harbor is the lease of land made by the Commissiouers to the Canadian Pacific Railway for THE ERECTION OF ELEVATORS.A lease has been agreed upon fou fifty ears at a nominal rental, but should the and not be used for elevator purposes, it 18 Lo revert to the Harbor Commissioners.The Commissioners hope that the building of these elevators will give to the port the grain trade of our new North-West, and! also insure a reasonable swock in port, especially before the canals open, which will induce more shipping to come into the harbor.It may be well to mention here the fact that the dues on grain were reduced from Ith June to 1st September, from seveu and a half cents per ton to the nominal charge Of one Cent per ton.This was done in consequence of the great lack of wheat and grain for deadweight, and to see it by such action it could Be possible to indnce the grain to come this way.Opinions are divided as to whether it had any influence or not.On the re-imposition of dues on the lst September it was stated by the papers that considerable dissatie- faction was expressed by the graia merchants that we bad broken faith in not Continuing the same rate to the end of the Season, as the Government were doing; but it must not be forgotten that the Government only took off half their tolls for 81x monthe, while we practically took them all off for three months, believing that this policy would be more efficacious at the moment, and believing the next barvest would bring « some relief to the trade, Another thing must not be overlooked, aud that is, we are not like the Government.We have NO OTHER RESOURCES TO.DEAW FROM to keep up our revenue, This reduction in grain caused a loss in revenue of nearly 2 thousand dollars, which can only be by incrensed business in the Tebained future, + morose aterling per ton.\u2018That same grain is sub- jJret tu a charge in Glasgow of 1s, 3d.i sterlir £s er four times as share of in Montreal, and it .thet ransit Ebeds St costs a

interesting character: of the work.IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS have been made by Mr.Kennedy, chief engin er, inthe rock-working dredges, by which their cificieney has bess increased | some four-fold, and the shale-roëk ot Cap la Roche and Cap Charles is now dredged 4ulmostas easily #8 the barder kinds of A: Cap la Roche a semaphore \u2018has been erected, which indicates the state of tide and shows every three inches ofa rise or tall.The indications are visible some miles vp, and down the river, and are of tuuch practical value, in enabling vessels w safey avail themselves of the full depth of water in the channel.Cap la Roche, at very, low tides, ir still somewhat the shal- luwest part ol tbe ship channel, and, in order to give navigation the earliest pos- gil:ie benefit of the dredging, the work was so arranged last summer ag to run a cut of extra depth through one-half the breadth of the new channel.This was completed for fall use, and on lst October the\u2018 Commissioners gave official notice that the new channel bad been \u2018\u2018 deepered and tested in the north half of rits breadth to 213 feet at lowest water, equal to 264 feet at a good average tide, ur 13 feet deeper than for- erly.\u201d .The Commissioners during the year brought before the notice of the Road Committee the DANGEROUS STATE OF THE RBVETMEST:- WALL, more particularly the portion immediately ia front of this building.The Commissioners think the city should come to their relief in this matter, although it is true that the ground on which the walls stand and the pavement above it to the gutter belongs to the Commissioners, yet they are of no use to the trade of the Harbor, and are only used by the citizens as a promenade.The Commissioners, therefore, do not think it unreasonable that the city should fairly be asked to maintain and keep up this promenade, not ouly for its use and sight-seeing to pedestrians, but for its use 1a keeping up Com- linissioners\u2019 street.Two of vhe Road Committee have had an interview with the Commissioners, but so far no action has been taken.; Mr.Anirew Allan\u2019 term of office as re presentative of the shipping interest expired on the 4th of August.He was again \u2018unanimously elected.The Commissioners regret to state that \u2018they have had to investigate into THE GROUNDING OF TWO VESSELS.On the 21st of October the steamship Lake Huron, of the Beaver Line, grounded at Point-aux-Trembles (ez haul), in charge of Pilot Joseph Chandonnet.The usual investigation was held ; and, as it seemed that no blame could be attached to the pilot, azd as the vessel appeared not to have suffered any damage, the pilot was acquitied.On the 220d of October the steamship Lake Champlain, of the same line, on her wav to Quebec, in charge of Pilos Louis Belleisle, grounded near Lavaltrie, having taken the wrong channel.The vessel apparently sustained no _special damage, but was required to lighten a large portion of her cargo, and was detained about four days.At the investi gation the pilot admitted he had made a stake, apd threw himself on the mercy of the Court, but urged certain cireum- stances in mitigation of his conduct.In view of this, and in consideration of his previous geod conduct, extending over a number of years, it was decided to suspend him from exercising his functions as pilot trow the date of the accident to the lst of July, 1885.Three apprentice pilots, viz.: Nestor Arcand, John Nault and Joseph Dussault, who passed in March, 1883, received their branches.THE PILOTS between Quebec and Montreal brought e vill into Parliament toincorporate them in the same way asthe Corporation of Pilots in Quebec.As the Commissioners considersd the bill, if pas-ed, would geri- ously interfere with the trade ot the port, they opposed the same, and, ater some concessions by which the Commissioners ; agreed not to increase the number at pre- ; sent où the roll, the bill was ultimately withdrawn.New by-laws were passed during the year, having for their porpose the keeping t of veseels drawing under eight feet of water >.the old channel, reserving the new fo those of deeper draught, which it is hoped will secure greater safety.They are\u201d as follows :-\u2014 BY-LAW 133.The exclusive use of the deep-water chaunels of the River St.Lawrence, in the portions of the river hereinafter mentioned and in the said statute described, is hereby restricted and appropriated to vessels drawing, when loaded to ther ordinary capacity, more thai: cight feet of water, and all raits and all barges and other vessels drawing, when loaded to their ordinary capacity, eight feet of water or less than eight feet, are hereby prohibited from using the said deep-water channels in the said portions of the said river, except in case of accident, or stress of weather, or force of current, BY-LAW 1354, The portions of the saidlriver referred to in the foregoing by-law and in the said statute may be herein described

HERALD.With you I think yowng and emergetic Canadians have enough to do at home in improving their own country, without wasting their lives on the battle, fields of the East.But I think that there is one way that the Empire could be'benefitted by \u2018Canadian intelligence and Canadian enterprise, which will do it wore good \u2018tham an army of the best soldiers thas could be brought into the \u2018field.What is wanted \u2018now more \u2018thon anything \u2018in the Soudan is means of transport.How to .get soldiers, -supplies and material quickly and safely \u2018across the desert.between Suakim and Berber is the great probleea for the Bri- ish authorities to solve.Now what I propose is that those authorities should \u201cconsult the men who have built a railway -across this continent with a rapidity that \u2018is really wonderful.If the British Government \u2018had in their service men who have constructed the Canadian Pacific Railway it could with the resources it has at command build the necessary length of railway in a way and with a speed that would make! slow, steady-going Englishmen stare.! Give these: Canadian Pacific men money; enough and labor enough,and they would organize a staff which would do the worki in the shortest time possible for men to\u2019 do it.How quick that would be it is not for me to say, but I am very sure that if old world railway men and engineers knew how soon they would undertake to have it finished, they would with one accord shout \u201cimpossible.\u201d But impossibilities in railway construction are just what theee men have been doing all along, and I.only wish that the British Government has practical sense enough to consult them on the subject, and follow their advice when they obtain it.Railways would do more to conquer and civilize the Soudan than armies.Roads subdued the brave Scotch Highlanders and the Circassians were always a thorn in the side of Russia until their mountain fadtnesses were made accessible by railways and highways.So railway experience and railway enterprise, properly directed, will save the British suffering and bloodshed, and \u201csmash the Mahdi\u201d in an incredibly short time.Yours, Navvr.The \u2018\u2018 Gazette\u201d and Mr.Beangrand.To the Editor of THE HERALD.What is the meaning of the Gazstte\u2019s opposition to Mr.Beaugrand for Mayor ?It cannot be any love for Mayor Beaudry, because the Gazette has several times opposed that gentleman, declaring him unfit for the office, and only recently was willing to support Dr.Rottot.It is unfair to Mr.Beaugrand to attempt to identify him with the Beausoleil-Rainville-Perrault clique.Mr.Beaugrand fought this clique on the Citizen\u2019s gas bill, and his independence was also shown when he revolted against Mr.Mercier.Mr, Beaugrand has identified himself with all public movements\u2014the exhibitions, carnivals, &e,, and isa public- spirited, able, honest and fearless man.He is not going in for money-making, and if the Guzette could bring itself to support Dr.Rottot, it is hard to see why it should now oppose Mr.Beaugrand, who is in every way a superior man.One of Mr.Beaugrand\u2019s best qualities is his freedom from all national bigotry and prejudice.\u2018I trust he will receive the support he deserves.Yours truly, .CrTIzEs, ae WOMAR\u2019S SUFFERING AND RELIEF.Those languid, tiresome sensations, causing you to feel scarcely able to keep on your feet ;

for pigeons, Mr, J.James, of Toronto ; and.for birds, &c., Mr.W.Scott, of Montreal.: ALLEGED , CONTEMPT OF \"Court.\u2014The argument in the case of Whitehea Kieffer to have the.defendants declared guilty of Contempt of Court on the ground that they had illegally removed certain pieces of machinery, was heard before Mr.Justice Torrance inthe Practice Court yesterday morning.Mr.L.N.Benjamin, on behalf of the plaintiff, stated that despite the order of Judge Jette, the defendants anda man named ,Malette had failed to putin an appearance.He maintained that the machicery had been removed either by the defendant or by his order and asked that unless immediate return was made \u2018that the defendants aud intervenant be imprisoned for contempt of Court.Mr.Paguouelo, who also appeared forthe plaintiff, argued that the whole affair was a conspiracy, and asked that in view of the failure of the defendants to appear their affidavits be set aside by the Court.Hon.R.Laflamme, Q.C., on behalf of the intervenant, opposed the application, and claimed that the proceedings so far had been irregular, no notice to appear having been served upon his client.Mr.Jos.Doutre, Q.C., for the defendants, also spoke against the application.His Honor took the case en delibere until the afternoon, when he [ rendered judgment dismissing the case with costs, and maintaining the intervention of Mr.R.White, who was declared to be the sole owner of the property, and setting aside the seizure, dismissing the plaintifi\u2019s action with coste.Mr.L, N.Benjamin, for the plaintiff, signified his intention of appealing from the judgment.pre HERE AND THERE.Maurice McCarthy and John Bowes appeared before the police magistrale yesterday morning for stealing a box of mitts from Mr.Valiquette, Notre Dame street.The prisoners were committed to the Queen\u2019s Bench.Yesterday afternoon the snowshoe figure on the Condora was removed.The police found the door of 710 St.Catherine street open on Wednesday night.The additional applications filed for licenses bring the number up to 742.It is expected the first meeting of the Provincial Commissioners will be held this afternoor.At the Free Trade Club meeting at the Windsor Hotel this evening, Mr.Henry Mott, librarian of the Mechanics\u2019 Institute, will read a paper on the ¢ Literature of Free Trade.\u201d PERSONAL.Mr.Schiller, Clerk of the Crown, is confined to his home by illness.Judge Taschereau, of Ottawa;

also shop and dwelling, Drolet and St.Jean Baptiste streets.Mr.E.Shaw will dispose of the following properties on Monday, the 16th: Two villa sites on Sherbrooke and Simpson streets.Mr.Potter, the auctioneer, has been confined to the house for several days.A severe cold, caught while attending a funeral early in the week, caused a painful affection of the throat.His many friends will be glad to hear that Mr.Potter will be quite well before Monday.\u2014_\u2014 Mr.NATHANIEL Pope, late cashier of the London aud Liverpool and Globe Insurance Company, and now charged with having appropriated to his own use $25,000 of the funds of the company, is not quite certain that he has had the usufruct of the money.He says: \u2014 If I took the money, I must have been crazy ; I'ma sure I don\u2019t remember anything about it.\u201d It is quite possible that a quiet, sedate, well-behaved cashier might have helped himself to a considerable sum of money belonging to his employers while in a state\u2019of unconscious cerebration, but it would be strange indeed if a man could expend or dispose of that amount of treasure without having some trace of it.The insanity theory has been tolerably successfully worked in murder cases, and there is no reason why it should not be applied to theft.A cashier who steals in large sums, in the belief that he will not be found out must, have a mind and seconded by the Minister of Militia, Mr.Williamson.An interesting debate followed, in which Mesers.Hanna, Irwin, a as thoroughly unbalanced as his accounts are likely to be.There is every reason to believe that Mr.Pope was and is insane.\u2014 N.¥.World.The ball at the Kennels last night, given by Mr.Baumgarten, the Master, was a most brilliaut affair, fully four hundred of the elite of society, both Canadian and Am 1 erican, being present.The Club house was seen to its best advantage, the floral decor ations in particular being on a scale unsurpassed at any ball, this or any previous season.Flowers, garlands of smilax and aurel, cornucopias of choice exotics, lovely devices and movograms in roses, lilies and other blossoms, were strewed about in most lavish profusion.The chandeliers were smothered in flowers, and the supper tables not only bore immense bouquets at intervals, but along the festive board itself ran a line of smilex, like a rippting brook.The marble bath, unequalled in the city, filled to the brim with crystal water, contained a number of tiny floating canoes, each heavily freighted with = the rarest flowers.Mr Campbell, the florist, who had the decorations in charge, covered himself with glory in this, his latest effort.The whole building was thrown open to the guests, and the many curiosities and hunting trophies eagerly scanned by the fair Americans, a large number of whom were present.Th: floor wes in excellent condi tion, and, as the music furnished by Gruenwald\u2019s orchestra was equally good, dancing was indulged in to an unlimited extent.The ball-room presented a dazzlingly splendid appearance, the rich costumes of the ladies being matched in brilliancy by the\u2018 pink \u201d\u201d worn by the members of the Hunt.At midnight a move was made to the supper room, situated in the basement of the building and partitioned off by means of huge flage.A werry blast upon the horn announced the beginning of this, to many, most-important event of the evening, The supper was a sit-down affair, aud, owing to there being a regular army of waiters, every.oue waa helped moet promptly and retired more than satigfied.There being no menu, it is impossible to give a detailed list of the dishes, but everything usually found upon a supper tab) was to be had for the asking as we many delicacies not often encountered.The caterers, Messrs.Hall & Scott,ful y sustained their previous high reputation in affairs of this sort.After the supper,dancing was continued until a late hour.The host, Mr.Baumgarten, it is needless to say, wag most attentive to all who partook of his bospitality.The ball was pronounced by the Montrealers to be an unqualified success, and by the guests from the neighboring republic to be beyond all compare the most delightful ball they had ever attended.The following is a list of the inviled guests :\u2014 A.\u2014Mr.H.Montagu Allan and the Missef Allan, Mr.Bryce Allan, Mr.Hugh A.and Mrs.Allan, Mr.R.B., Mrs.and the Misses Angus, Mr.W.H.and Miss Arnton, Mr.R.A.Allan, Mr.À.A.Allan, Mr, Andrew Allan, Mr, John Atkin, Mr.J.B.and Miss Abbott, Miss Alger, Mr.alex.and Mrs.Allan, Brockville;

Justices to be Appointed.It is stated on high legal authority that several important changes will be at once made in the constitution of the Bench in Quebec and Montreal, Mr.Justice Stewart, of the ancient capital, is to be promoted to the Chief Justiceship of the Superior Court there, and Mr.Andrews, of the firm of Messrs.Andrews, Caron and Andrews, will be elevated to the Bench as successor to Judge Stewart.A representative of THE HERALD was as- surea yesterday that a very strong interest is manifested in Montreal by the Bar, as a body, to have Hon.Francis G.Johnson, one of the most popular and learned members of the Superior Court, elevated to the more dignified position of Chief Justice of that Court here.Said a member of the Bar :\u2014* It is thought that Judge Johnson is the coming president of the high office, and bitter disappointment will be ex- pressed\u2014as the fzeling for his advancement is §0 intense\u2014at his being passed over.\u2018It has always been held here that if the judge had entered public life his brilliant merits would have met with a higher and nobler \u2018reward than on the Bench: From the expressions of members of the Bar, without regard to nationality, a warm enthusiasm will be evoked when the judge\u2019s appointment is gazetted, for it is eagerly ana anxiously looked for.The promotion will, of course, bring a larger salary.\u201d It is to be presumed that other judges bave their friends, who, no doubt, will press their claims warmly on the attention of the Government.AMUSEMENTS.Queen\u2019s Hall.Mr.Carl Strakosch, agent for the Mark Twair and George W.Cable readings, gave THE HERALD à call yesterday and informel us of the intention of the combination tce ppear at Queen?s Hall on the evenings © Wednesday, the 18th, and Thursday, tie 19th inst.¢ Mark,\u201d like a brass band, always diaws a crowd.Mr, Cable has ben well known as a novelist, but he has gually distinguished himself as a reader The New York Telegram, of a recentdate, said :\u2014 The newest \u201c combination\u201d in the \u2018\u2018 shov business \u201d is that formed by Mark Twainand George W.Cable.It opened last night at Chickering Hall and \u201ccaught the tovn.\u201d Two men better fitted to contrast itrongly on the lyceum platform could icarcely be imagined, for Mr.Cable, althowh the possessor of a fine sense of humo, is serious and earnest in his manner, wiile Mr.Clemens is unavoidably droll in everything he does and says.Neithe gentleman is an elocutionist, accordug to the usùal acceptation of the term.\u201c For this relief much thanks.\u201d Both zonfine themselves to their own writing, which they may reasonably be suppoæd to know more than any one else, althoush some professional readers think differer tly, Lastnight Mr.Cable read only from his recentnovel, © Dr, Sevier.\u201d He achieved succes to a gratifying degree, particularly in \u201cNary\u2019s Night Ride \u201d\u2014the story of à dash o'a mother and her child, escorted by a spy, through the enemy\u2019s line.He also tok strong hold of his audience by singing without any art whatever, the old camp ong, \u201c Brave Boys Are They.\u201d As fae Mark Twain, the audience either smiled, tittered or roared whenever he was on thestage.He was funny whenever he weantto be, and funnier when he didn\u2019t.\u201cKing ollermuun,\u201d fromthis coming book, was a narvelous \u2018new version \u201d of the scriptwal story of King Solomon\u2019s noted judicia.decree in a case of disputed maternal nights.He told a ghost story with admirale effect, and made the audience roar ovr the peculiarities of the German language, concerning which one of his characers, an industrious drinker, averred that hewould rather decline two drinks than on: German verb.The house was csowdel, Academy of Music.Wher the Academy re-opens next week with Tle Pavements of Paris, this popular place ofamusement will be crowded.The Syracue, N.Y., Standard says :\u2014 As if a rapid succession of startling pictures, covering the period of five acts, was notspectacle enough, what was to all intents ind purposes a reproduction of a Parisiar railway engine was run across the stage of Wieting Opera House last evening as the oncluding scenic revelation of The * Pavements of Paris.No play presented CMG the Say gabe, artist.Much of the painting for the production has unusual merit.This was true of the representation of the rag-pickers\u2019 setilement in the environs of Paris.The use of the transparent scene was frequent during the play, some very beautiful etfects bei ng wade in the first act, where they are introduced to represent the happenings ofa dream.The play rests in the main on the elaborate illustration which is given to carry the simple story.The scenery is not alone on the canvas.Incidental to the movement of the play are scores of groupings in the picturesque haunts of the Parisian, Tune character and costumery both are interesting features, which bear on their face the merit of realism.The scenery, though complicated, was operated last night with wonderful precision, there being no unfortunate clog in the mechanism of the stage.ee HOME FOR FRIENDLESS WOMEN.Annual Meeting\u2014Reception of Reports and Election of Oflicers, The annual meeting of the Home for Friendless Women was beld at the Home, 13 Plateau street, yesterday afternoon, the Rev.George Wells in the chair.Among those present were the Rev.Messrs.Norton, Patterson, Barnes, Nicolls, Mills, and Messrs.Ritchie, Grafton, and Craig.Mrs.Birks, the secretary, read Ler annual report.It mentioned that the \u201c Home\u201d was altogether too small, it was also overcrowded, as the committee did not like to refuse applications for admission.The advantage of having a thoroughly Christian woraan as matron, in addition to the housekeeper, was presented, as she would have a beneficial influence on the in- mites.A high compliment was paid to Mrs.Shaw, the present matron.Her influence has kept many in the Home who were inclined to leave, and in many other ways was beneficial, but notwithstanding this, both committee and matron, in looking for permanent results, fail to find an encouragement; for many of the inmates cf whom the committée had hope fell into their old ways as soon as they left the Home.The report pointed out that the chief hope of the committee was with the younger inmates, and called attention to the fact that in their contact with the older women, the good influences operative at the \u201cHome\u201d were counteracted.Gn the 31st of January there were twelve women in the Home, and during the year 25 others were admitted, making a total of 37 ,accounted for as follows: In the Howe at present, 15; left for situations, 5; sent to England, 4; to the hospital, 1; to the In- tants\u2019 Home, 1, and to the Longue Point Asylum, 1.Ten inmates lett without permission during the year.This i8 a large increase over last year, and con- sequentiv more work has been accomplished In all the departments.In the laundry 53,025 pieces were washed, against 44,884 for last year ; 209-articles of clothing were made, and 190 pairs of stockings knit.Tue income from the work amounted to $1,402.97, a gain of $105.20 as compared with last year.The report gratefully acknowledged the sum of $300 received from the executors of the late Edward McKay, which it was intended to have placed to the credit of the building fund, but the committee were obliged to use it for current expenses, so that the building fund has only been increased this year by the sum of $20, being the annual subserip- tiou of Mr.J.Brough to the fund.The Treasurer\u2019s, Mrs.Holden\u2019s, statement showed receipts from various sources to have been $3,977.88, which, with the balance of $233.83 from last year, made the income $3,331.71.The disbursements for the year were $2,922.55, which, with the $20 placed to the credit of the building fund, made a total of $2,942.55, leaving a balance of $369.16,which is a gain as compared with last year.The reports were adopted.The following officers were elected :\u2014 President, Mrs.A.B.Chaffee; 1st Vice- President, Mrs.Adam Darling; 2nd Vige- President, Mrs.Henry Vennor; Secretary, Mrs.Henry Birks; Treasurer, Mrs.Albert, Holden; Commuttee, Mrs.J.A.Bazin, Mrs.J.A.Crane, Mrs.Henry Holden, Mrs.Henry Warden, Mrs.T.LaBatt, Mrs.Walker, Mre.Murphy, Mrs.Bryson, Mrs.Parker, Miss Mercer, Miss Warren, Mise DeWitt and Miss Hall.A few remarks by the Rev.Mr.Norton and Messrs.Ritchie and Grafton brought the meeting to a close.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 MARINE INTELLIGENCE, Arrived.The Beaver Line steamship Lake Huron, from Liverpool, arrived at New York Thursday morning.LoNDONDERRY, February

St.John, N.B., and all Bay of Fundy ports in the movements of an ice-bound bark which appears to have been drifting about the Bay for some time.This matter has received the attention of the Dominion Department of Marine.The St.John Sun (9th) says :\u2014 On Saturday morning Wm.Thomson & Co.received a telegram from Hopewell Hill stating that the ice-bound bark was two miles below Cape Enrage at high water.As the wind was fair, viz , N.E., it was thought she would get clear, as all sails were set.In the evening Mr.J.H.Harding received the following telegram from the lighthouse keeper at Cape Enrage: \u201cGood wind N.E.; light snow ; can\u2019t see far; no ice off here ; bark not seen today ; if wind lasts she could be free before long.\u201d Mr.Harding having been given full powers to act in case of emergency by the Minister of Marine and Fisheries, has established good watches all along the coast.It will be a relief to the public mind to know that boats and crews are in readiness to put off to her in case she requires assistance.\u201d\u2019 The new steamship Trinidad, of 2,100 tous, Captain Fraser, owned by the Quebec Steamship Company, sailed from Sunder- land on the Sth for
