Project.Quebec, Dee.11.\u2014(Special).\u2014After all that we have heard about the Quebea bridge, it was interesting to hear that Montreal has also its bridge question, | The matter was brought to the attention of the Government to-day by a delegation consisting nf Mr.Henry Hogan, Mr.C.N.Armstrong, Senator Thibeaudeau and Mr.Ball of Nicolet.The Government was represnted by Hon.Messrs.Flynn, Beaubien and Nantel.The deputation had come provided with detailed plans of the bridge, which is to pass over Ile Ronde, between Montreal and Longueuil.This bridge, it was stated, would be 8,500 feet long, much long:r than the Brooklyn Bridge, but owing to the fact that the foundations are to be made on solid rock the cost will not excecd £1X millions.Mr.Armstrong said that the bridge would have a double track for railways, a double of electric tramways which would Bo on to 8t.Helens Island, and a double roadway for vehicles and passages for pedestrians.The South Shore, the Bos ton and Montreal and the Delaware and | Hudson Railways were waiting to come | mto Montreal by the bridge.The Relt Line and the Park and Island were also | anxious to use it, but the immediate advantage would be to all the south-shore | country, the inhabitants of which could come directly into Montreal, whereas even | if the Victoria Bridge was made accessible | to vehicles, t ten miles, It actually takes as long now disaster occurred during a dense fog and very heavy weather.The Salier had a fearful passage from Bremen to this port.Two of her boats were swept over-board by the heavy seas which beat over her and she sustained other damages from the same cause.The steamer struck during the night of Monday last, on a ledge of rocks about two and one half miles off Cape Corrubedo on her way from this place to Villagariria.The Salier was an old vessel which the North German Lloyd Company had agreed to sell to an American firm trading between Italy and American ports, but, owing to some slight disagreement as to the terms, the deal was not completed and the steamer was sent on another voyage.She was considered to be in evry way sea-worthy.The Salier was built in 8175 at Hull, England, and had since been frequently thoroughly overhauled, improved and strengthened.She was of 2,000 tons gross register, was 351 feet long, brig rigged and had a single propeller.Swansea, Wales, Dee.11.\u2014The British ship Springwell, Captain Kinman, from Liverpool on December 9, for Galveston hag arrived with two survivors of the German ship Rajah, of Bremen, which left Cardiff on Wednesday last for Hong Kong and capsized in a gale, near Lundy Island, at the entrance of the Bristol channel.Nineteen of the Rajah\u2019s crew.were drowned._ BURIED IN THE RUINS.Over 100 Persons Carried Down in a Collapsed Building\u2014Twenty Dead.Cadiz, Dec.11.\u2014A terrible disaster occurred in the Province of Andalusia, sixteen miles from this city, this morning, through the collapse of a building.A house containing twenty-five persons collapsed without warning, burying all of its inmates in the debris.The house fell upon an adjoining tenement building, which also gave way., The tenement house was ifhabited by eighty-five persons, all of whom were buried by the wreckage.Twenty dead bodies and forty-six serious- lv injured persons have already been taken from the ruins, and the work of excavation hey would have to go around for the purpose of recovering the others is proceeding.Ce eee.wd 43e 32rd Street.So emaciated is shé, and so strong is the strain put upon her nervous system by the ill-luck of her husband and his removal to Bellevue that it is feared that she may break down completely.In spite of her ill-health she says if she could only get some kind of work she would most gladly do it.An elegant coupe was stopped this morning at the door of No.318 East, 33rd Street, a young lady stepped out, ran up the stairs and after pressing the hand of the unfortunate woman, left a $106 bill in her palm.She refused to give her name.A short time later a gentleman, who said be was a French-Canadian himself and read of her sad condition called at the house and left a dollar bill.Mrs.Le Blanc has thus been enabled to-day to have the first substantial meal in many weeks.read and write ; immediately upon landirg he shall renounce lis allegiance to his of

in the usual place in the G.T.R.time offices, at Point St.Charles, yesterday, notifying the men of a change in working hours which has caused a great deal of dissatisfaction among all the employes.It is as follows: \u201cOn and after Monday, and until further orders, the working hours shall be from 7.39 a.51.to noon and from 1 p.m.to 4 p.m.daily (Saturdays included).\u201d This deprives the men of their half-holiday on Saturdays, which they have had for a great number of years, and all feel that such a change will deprive the men of their only opportunjty for enjoyment.A mass meeting of the men was held in the library, on Sebastopol Street, at 4 pm.to consider the notice, and a Her- «ld reporter was assured that it represented nearly all the men.A chairman was appointed, who explained that the meeting was called to take the sense of the men on the matter, as the contemplated change would do away with the Saturday half-holiday.After a good deal of talk among the men, it was decided that a deputation, composed of a delegate from each shop, be appointed to wait on Mr.Wanklyn, the master mechanic, to see if some other arrangement could be made so as not to interfere with Saturday afternoon.STEAMSHIP ARRIVALS.Arrived Dec.11.At.New York Steamer.California .Ethiopia .Moville .\u2026 Forest Holme .Liverpool .Montreal Barnes .J.Liverpool .,.Montreal From.Hamhurg New York body.In the first place, because he had not been notified positively that there was a body under the ruins; secondly, because it was only in cases where thera were some grounds for euspecting foul play that he was authorized to go to any expense to recover a body.In the present case, he said, there was absolutely no ground for such suspicion, so he could not order a search to be made at the Government\u2019s expense.The City Attorney, when asked why the city had not made the search, answered: \u201cThe city is not legally authorized to make searches on private property.\u201d When asked if permission had been asked for by the city to do the work in the ruins, Mr.Roy said: \u201cNo, for even should we obtain such permission from the owner, we could not make any expenditure in that direction without being authorized so to do by Council, for there is no special fund for that purpose.\u201d Ald.Connaughton, Acting-Mayor in the absence of Iis Worship, Mayor Smith, was seen next on the subject.\u201cYes,\u201d he said, in answer to a query, I was waited upon hy Mr.Murphy, but I was sorry I could do nothing for him; our hands are tied, for there is no money for that purpose, and we could not take upon ourselves to provide the money to go on with the work of searching for the body without being authorized by the City Council.\u201d MACE0O'S DEATH CONGEDED.Cubans Now Admit There is no Longer Any Doubt\u2014Rejolcing in Spain.Philadelphia, Dec.11.\u2014Very little doubt remains in Cuban circles in this city of the death of Antonio Maceo, the Cuban leader.News came to hand from private Cuban sources on the island which acknowledged that no further doubt of Maceo\u2019s death can exist.Madrid, Dec.11.\u2014 There is no abatement in the manifestations of joy at the death of Antonio Maceo.The Queen Regent received an ovation at the Opera House last evening.Her Majesty sent an aide- de-camp to congratulate the life of Major Cirujeda, the officer who commanded the Spanish troops in the engagement with the insurgents, near Punta Brava, during which the Cuban leader met his death. 2 THE HERALD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1896, Ontario and Quebec GRENVILLE.Large Mill

Christmas activity.On the whole the situation is just a waiting one, with the possibility that a few days may develop u decided improvement.The past week has again witnessed a fairly liberal movement of Canadian produce to the seaboard.In this trade, poultry, eggs and apples have figured largely, while a fair quantity of butter and cheese has also gone forward.England, however, had already quite a large supply of the two latter lines on hand, and the call for the Christmas trade was on that account a comparatively smail one.Most of the stock went out by Portland, St.John,,N.Band Boston.Freight rates ruled rather on the easy side, and goods were generally taken below the quotations ruling in N®- vember.THE WEEK\u2019S FEATURES.For the most part values have held just about steady during the week, with alteia- tions few.In the grocery market no special activity was observed, while business was conducted on about the same basis as the wcek previous.Sugars were quiet and unchanged, teas dull, dried fruit only moderately active, and almost all other lines slow and unaltered {rom their previous position.As noted last week there is quite an active business Am, Cot, OÙ cree mpscocsecec

About.The people in touch with the situation in Manitoba have reported the markets declining for \u2018the past three days.At the beginaing of the week, No.1 hard was selling in the country at 70c, and while the decline in Chicago was noe felt in Manitoba immediately, the drop came later and yesterday 65e to 66c was the general range throughout the province.To-day\u2019s improvement in Chicago it 1s thought will check the easier tendency.rere 6th 62 It scems to be an accepted thing now that the Argentine wheat crop is badly dainaged.very day brings more confit mation of the injury to the crop, and some of the cables come from people who are in a position to know.A local broker received the following telegram from Geddes, Kirkwood & Co., Chicago: \u201cThe Liverpool market opened weak, then became active and closed quite strony.March six shillings 72d, alter 6s Tid.We have confidence in present values,\u201d A cable from Beerbohm received in Chi- cazo to-day said: \u201cReliable Argdntine cable says the damage to the wheat crop by locusts has been enormous.\u201d \u201cThe decline in Manitoba\u201d said a miller \u201chas caused a falling off in farmers\u2019 wheat deliveries.All season deliveries have fallen off when the market showed signs of weakness.\u201d A prominent Chicaco house wired: \u201cSecond cables again higher.Comment on Argentine unfavorable.Have confidence in these values.\u201d Shortly before noon a Chicago house wired \u201cBank failure in Duluth causing a \u2018little selling.Corn firmer with wheat.No feature to the market.T.ocal erowd somewhat ayersold and bought a little.Wheat strong and is good purchase now and down.\u201d : Mr.Archibald Campbell, M.P., Toronto, was introduced on the floor to-day by Mr.II.W.Raphael.Some of the brief Chicago telegrams posted said: \u201cLooks as if Armour had taken the market away fram Cudahy.\u201d \u201c11.25\u2014@ifford just bought % million wheat.\u201d \u201cBoston clears 47,500 wheat and 8,000 four.\u201d \u201cEstimated receipts to-morrow: Wheat 81 cars, corn, 230 cars, oats 410 cars.\u201c2.25 p.m.\u2014Advise buying calls.\u201d \u201cThink wheat will do to buy on any break.Alrich.\u201d EXPORT APPLE TRADE, Cable Advices From the Other Side More Disappointing.\u201cDisappointing cables have again been received from Liverpool, stating that owing to poor quality of fruit arriving, the market has again gone to pieces«and that prices have declined 1s to 2s per bbl.\u201d says the Montreal Trade Bulletin.\u201cThe reasons giving by parties on the other side in accounting for these repeated breaks in the market is the inferior quality of the fruit shipped; but this is very misleading, for Canadian shippers as a rule never before sent forward such a superior class of fruit as they have done this sea- scn.The orop this year was so superabundant, that all small and inferior apples were left on the trees, and what were gathered were again selected and well pack- .ed.The fact is, that the immense quantities that have gone forward week after week have proved too heavy for the con \u2018sumptive demand in Great Britain, and | that is the real cause of the poor markets, and not the poor quality of the shipments.In this market sales of about 1,000 bbls.of choice red fruit have been made at $1.10 to $1,25+per bbl.for export, and sales have also been made for English account at 6s f.o.b.here.Account sales were received by a Montreal house on Monday last, showing net proceeds of $1.10 to $1.20 per bbl, which was very satisfactory, but of course other sales netted much lower figures.\u201d Hea.t Disease Relieved in 80 Minutes, Dr.Agnew's Cure for the Heart gives perfect relief in all cases of Organic or Sympathetic Heart Disease in 30 minutes, and

Production of Flour\u2014Better Demand for Cheese\u2014Heard on \u2018Chango Grete HERALD Ofiice.Friday, December 11.\u201cThe wheat market has advance! sharply -to-day, on pressure from previous sellers to cover,\u201d said J.S.Bache & Co\u2019s.Chicago letter.\u201c The Liverpool market advanced sharply on further damage reported to Argentine crop by wet weather.It seems confirmed beyond doubt now that the Argentine exportable surplus will be very small.This only intensifies the previous bullish position of sapply and demand.We maintain confidently that wheat is a safe and profitable purchase now, and on all weak spots.\u201cCoarse grains closed firmer at } to de improvement over yesterday\u2019s.The improve: ment, however, was in sympathy with tha advance in the wheat market.The vol ume of*trade was quite smail and confined mostly to local pit traders.\u201c Provisions opened a shade easier on larger receipts of bogs than expected.New York sold May lard añd pork frecly.Local opcraturs bought.John Cudahy bought about 1,000 tierces January lard and sold like quantity of May at 20c difference.International Packing Co, and Continental Packing Co., sold May ribs, C.P.& P.Co., sold May riba.® .Market closed stcady at decline.1£stimat- ed receipts to-morrow 29,000 hogs.\u201d Wheat supplies in the North-West for distribution are thus referred to by the Minneapolis Market Record of December 4, one of the best authorities for such statistics : \u201cThe stock of wheat in store in Minneapolis and Duluth is approx! mately 20,000,000 bushels after this week's reduction is out.Add to that 13,000,0:0 bushels for present country elevator holdings and 27,000,000 bushels: for farmers to sell for shipm nt, and there are 50,000,000 bushels fpr Minneapolis, Superior, and Duluth matls to grind and to go forward from these points as wheat.Minneapolis mills will require some 40,000, 000 bushels to September 1 and Superior and Duluth approx.mately » 10,0J0,000 bushels more, making such requirements about 50,000,000 bushels, or equal to the supply, and leave none for shipment unless prices are raised to the point of av tracting shipments from Iowa and Nebraska.It follows that there will be end to the large surplus to carry into a new crop.\u201d New York\u2014Closing\u2014\\Vheat, 86fc, December, 86ic January, 85ÿc May ; corn, 29c bid December, 293¢ January,

buyers were very exacting about quality, and a good many marks which have of late been commanding the top rate had to be shaded 3c to lc per pound, and even at the reduction were hard to sell.Sellers have hope of maintaining the late advance on strictly gilt-edged stock, but this can only be accomplished by securing a larger outlet for the goods.For seconds.to firsts the market is duller than at

of a fine, and the inspectors were requested to watch him closely.Curriers was found beating a horse with a club covered with spikes; it was taken away from him and produced in court.Thirty- four

call in a doctor is enough to scare any ordinary man out of a month\u2019s growth, but when the question under consideration is the meeting of\u2014one doesn\u2019t know how many\u2014doctors in embryo the position becomes complicated.The possibilities of a few hundred odd doctors being let loose-upon an unoffending community are terrifying enough to such citizens as are not engaged in the undertaking business, but it must be frankly acknowledged that if all the terrified ones could have been present Thursday evening at the annual dinner of the Medical Faculty of MeGill University, at the Windsor Hotel, their fears would bave been dispelled.It was a nice crowd that gathered in the rotunda\u2014a nice crowd in the proper sénse of the term, for the crowd was nice in that it was composed of pink-faced, smooth-muscled boys, who seemed to lave no thought beyond that of enjoying themselves, and w no, as matters {turned out, did so.The \u201cLadies\u201d Ordinary\u201d at the

has been chosen as a member of the staff of Punch has viewed life from a standpoint very different trom | that of the lamented Du Maurier, whose death created the vacancy which Mr.May has been called to fill.Mr.May has not done his best work in the portrayal of the features and foibles of polite persons.He has gone to the common people for his pictures, and in a school which has always been popular in England, he has easily distanced all competition.The humor of his drawings is unique; he succeeds in extracting fun from what might be often deemed to be most unpromising material.There is in his work a sketchy boldness, an enhancement of the value of the line which is most attractive.A characteristic offshoot of his genius is reproduced on this page.\u2014 \u201cTO FORTUNE.\u201d

Record, who says that these modes of expression, among many others of a like nature, are in daily use with the members oi the Chicago Board of Trade.They have teen heard much nearer Montreal than that comes to and they are reproduced in order that they may scrve as a glossary for persons who have recently found a generous portion of their neirh- bors\u2019 speech entirely unintelligible.The list

fear that to many readers these inter- csting forms of speech will have a terribly vulgar sound.I confess to a frank admiration for the expressiveness of the best American slang.Some years ago it was my privilege to look in upon a Cambridge man with whom I had gone to college in Toronto.At Cambridge he was taking an ornamental post-graduate course of some sort, a botany special, or some such thing.He was a young man of a mind well ordered to the last degree; of a rigid, if not actually offensive, orihedoxy of thought, and of a sublime devotion to what is known as good form.But his first request after our interchange of greetings, was that I should relate to him the very newest of American slang.1 should not lie so rash as to say that there is no slang at Cambridge; I don't think anybody would.But my friend's soul thirsted for a draught of the sparkling American vintage.lt has been to me all these years a source of regret that I was not able to satisfy him.Slang had not b-en mcluded in the curriculum of the youthful reporter striving for a reputation for finc writing.But I have never since then lost an opportunity of adding to my fund of knowl edge in this regard.Does ihe study of slang nced defence?Surcly not; the slang of to-day, soma times but not always weeded out, is the polite speceir of to-morrow, if, indeed, it may not Le shown to have been stolen from Shakespeare or Chaucer.It is ev.n argued that the study of slang is interesting and valewable in the same way and co the same extent as is the study of folk lore; that in the same way and to the same extent it revea:s to the eye of the student the habit of thought and the manner of life obtaining amid the race or the class under consideration.But as no man of intelligence would choose to lend variety to his ordinary conversation by a running recital of the doings, goed ant cvil, of the ogres and little peoarte, Heys or DBrer Rabbit, so a temptation to interlard his speech with slang would prevail with no man of enl- ture until custom in the employment of a given phrase should have leit him no other meurs to the expression of the id a which he might seek to convey.\"Lhe process of the degradation of good woids and the elevation of bad cnes is rapid and comprehersive in Jéngl'sh.It may not be arrested, but it may Le maripulited to the permanent beauty and stre-gth of the lenguaeg if the well-informed \u2018will unite t» observe contemporary conditions; to save frem the speech of the common people\u2014so- called for want of better term\u2014all that is good, while preserving the purity of the language «s a whole against all thet is meaningless and vulgar.This brings me quite a distance away from the centre of the topic.Dut what I seek to convey is that most slang comes to stay, and that there is no reason why such of it as is good should nct stay, A friend writes: can select what you want.The first I like myself the best, the second Is, as you will sce, a litle satire on a certain phase of art, the third is just rank, patter nonsense of which, I aim weakly fond.THE PEN.My heart is heavy, and my mind close clings, Dé@pite iny best endeavors to unbend fit, To harassing, uncomfortable things I'd fain forget.Lnough, my will shall end it, And, overcoming adverse circumstances, At cnce shall hiberate and pen my fancies, Away with pensive moods, my mood is pens, For th:itl's the mood my thesis makes imperative.My powers, I think, are great as other men\u2019, And, tho\u2019 the \u201cTFairie Queene,\u201d no doubt, has merit, if You'll bear with me

zeal in this behalf has not always been tempered by discretion he has, nevertheless, in this way performed a service for the American people and for the interests of civilization, infinitely preferable to that which some people seem to expect of «mn American \u2018ambassador at St.James's- that he shall do what he can to twist the lion\u2019s tail and stir up needless animosities between the two countries, \u201cThis friendly attitude of the Ambassador has doubtless serve to soothe the irritation arising out of what was at one time regarded by the British Foreign Oi- fice as the preposterous pretensions of the United States in claiming a right of intervention in the settlement of the Venc- zuelan boundary claiins, and probably helped to smooth the way to- the pacific

\u201cYor many years I was sorcly afflicted with rheumatic pains in my ankles and at times was almost disabled.I tried everything, as I thought, and doctored for years without much benefit.Though 1 had lost confidence in medicines I was induced to use South American Rheumatic Cure.To my delight, the first dose gave me more relief than I had in years, and two bottles have \u2018completely cured

the bottle and to all the women of his acquaintance until no one takes him for a saint.On the contrary Quite, though the writer who mentioneu the repentant Burns in the same ciause with the repentant David of a previous era, did not exactly receive support from all quarters.But now some one has dis covered that Burns had another tault.He set up for a prophet and his prediction was not fulfilled, Here is the charge and the proof: When in tie autumn of 1786 a new bridge was being built over the River Doon at Ayr, in order to supersede an old structure that was becoming dangerous, the poet wrote \u2018\u2019The Brigs oi Ayr,\u201d a dialogue poem in which the two bridges contended for superiority, ani the \u2018\u2018auld brig\u201d declared vauntingly: Couceited 8owk ! puffd up wi\u2019 windy pride ! Tris inouy a year I've stood the wind and tide ; And tuough wi\u2019 crazy eild I'm sair for- rn bos brig when ye\u2019re a shapeless cairn.Until now Burns has been justified in the beastfulness of the old bridge, for, a» visitors to Coia know, the new structure kas been constantly undergoing repair, while the old has apparently been able to withstand \u201cthe wind and tide\u201d without mishap.But now it is reported that \u201cthe Auld Brig\u2019 is breaking up.Ibsen is said not to be a merry individual, but one can forgive him for that in view of his excessive honesty, 1t apppears some one told him that the Paris Figaro had an article entitled \u201cThe Influence of lbsen on Modern Painting.\u201d The great man burst into a great laugh and asked incredulously: \u201cWhat in the world is my connection with that?\u2019 Some prominent authors and some who are not noted would have prinked themselves up and not only have allowed the matter to be so with others, but, perhaps, have set to work to argue their own inner selves into beliey- ing it.\u2014 J Sir Herbert Maxwell, the other day, addressing the Dumfries and Galloway students in Edinburgh, went for Miss Marie Corelli.Sir Herbert has a high opinion of Miss Corelli\u2019s talents\u2014\u2018\u201cher enviable gift of composition and her ingenuity in invention.\u201d Nevertheless, he holds that \u201cThe Sorrows of Satan\u201d is a book \u201cwholly and actively evil.\u201d So far as Sir Herbert can see, its moral is that every man with a decent coat to his back is in secret a loathsome debauchee; that men are for ever trying to outwit or injure one another; that no politician or public man can attain distinction without a system of squaring the press, such as Miss Corelli minutely describes as if from the lite.Sir Herbert protests against thus \u201cdelineating ignoble passion,\u201d \u201csuggesting treachery between man and man,\u201d \u201cgloating over deformity,\u201d and \u201cconveying a sense of the hopeless infirmity of human nature.\u201d Sir Herbert will probably hear of this speech again.Ilizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward takes a decisive stand on the subject of insomnia anu its various so-called remedies.She Says: Avoid dependence upen narcotics as yon would that circle of the Inferno where the wind blows the lost spirit about, and toss him to and fro\u2014returning on bis course, and driven back\u2014foraver., Take the amount of sleep that God allows you, and go without what He denies; buy tiv from drugs as you would that poison oi the Borgias, which cunningly selectefl the integrity of the brain on which to feed.Starve for sleep if you must; die for lack of it if you must; I am almost prepared eo say, accept the delirium which marks 999900046449 © spair\u2014but scorn the habit of using anodynes as you hope for healing, and value reason.The stanzas that close Kipling's new volume of verse, \u2018The seven Seas,\u201d have a tendency toward the unorthodox, but readers are not obliged to get their theology aut of their poetry, and \u201cL\u2019Envoi,\u201d as he calls it, is, ot least, poetry.When Earth's last picture is painted, and the tubes arc twisted and dried, WkLen the oldest colors have faded, and the youngest critic has died, We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it\u2014lie down for an aeon or two, Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall set us to work anew ! And those that were good shall he happy; they shall sit in a golden chair; Tley shall splash at a ten-league canvas with brushes of comets\u2019 hair; Ttey shall find real saints to draw fvrom\u2014 Magdalene, I\u2019eter, and Paul; ; They shall work for an age at a sitting and never be tired at all! And only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame; And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame; But each for the joy of the working, and each, in his separate star, Shail draw the Thing as he sees It for the God of Things as They Are! A great deal of nonsense is being talked and written about the love letters of George Sand and Alfred de Musset.In the opinion of many people the less said about them the better for the two who wrote them, and those who might read them.BOOK REVIEW.\u201cThe Birds of Montreal,\u201d by Earnest D.Wintle, associate member of the Ameri can Ornithologists Union: \u2014Wm., Drys- dale & Co., Montreal, 81.25, This book is conveniently-sized for à book of reference, strongly and attractive- | ly bound, and contains details of minute observation of the bird-life of this dis- [ trict.The fact that the list of birds is published after fifteen years\u2019 especial study of their habits and haunts makes it a work of rare and authentic value.It has been necessary to cover a great deal of ground, and, too, much of it at different times of the year and day.\u2018I'he actual list of birds stands at two hundred and fifty-four.To the limited observer it seems scarcely credible that this great variety of feathered life makes its home here, or, for a shorter or longer time, vigits among us.The first part of the book is devoted to a list.Both scientific and popular names are given, together with places at which the birds have been taken, and, in many instances, the dates.The description is non-technical, being a record and local history in simple words.In the second part of the book the value to the one who wants to know becomes apparent.In it Mr.Wintle has given a detailed description of each bird in his list.This description is | also non-technical, Size, color and peculiarities are dealt with in plain English.The index is completz, and it, also, is of especial use to those unfamiliar with the nomenclature of the ornithologist.What impresses the reader with th» work's especial interest and advantage for Montrealers is the fact that it is a history of particular birds and particular places.Mr.Wintle speaks of many birds scen exposed for sale in Bonsecours market and St.Ann\u2019s.He mentions Nun's Island as a favorite winter resort for owls and particularly for the Snowy owl, A pair of horse-wrens were observed in a the extremity of fate in this land of de- other pair on Sherbrooke Street in \u201890.Black and white warblers had a nest over the side-door of the museum on Cathcart Street twelve years ago, but they are seldom found nesting here, being migrants.In 1863, we are told, there were large numbers of the Bohemian waxwing Leie, but since then they have been only twice observed.The purple martins breed in the city and Mr.\\Wintle mentions that he saw them nesting iu \u20198b in a bird-box in the rear of 2241 Notre Dame Street.A Mother Carey\u2019s chicken was taken five oO\u201d six years ago on Longueu:l whart, and à live woodcock picked up on Beaver Hali Hill in December, 1880.The might haw breeds in the city on the gravelly root of houses, its discordant cry and buzzing wings being often heard at dusk as al flies in pursuit of the moths and flics on which it feeds.Chimney swilts appear about May 7th én Beaver Hail Hill near the three churches there, and especially at the rear of St.Andrew's, though Ar.Wintle adds they were scarce in the city this year\u2014\u201996.The robins come usually March 24, and can be seen until November 8, though the author observed one on Palace Street on Dec.20, '80, and on February 23, 9.half a dozen were flying about at Cote des Neiges, feeding on the mountain ash berries, and with the appearance of having wintered there in company with the purple finches, red polis and cedar wax» wings seen at the same time.It is mentioned that the canvas back duck is rare here, this tid-bit of the epicures, together with most of the mallards and pintales exposed for sale, coming Irom Chicago and other western points.The attention given to detail in this ittle book is remarked when the author writes casually that he noticed orioles \u2018ceding on the ground, which is unusual, the dainty birds in general alighting on sushes or trees.In the scarlet tanager, the summer tanager, and the rose-breasted grosbeak, Mr.Wintle finds erratic travellers.He has observed them in the spring, but not in the autumn, and suggests that they return south by another route.A curious fact is related of the long billed marsh wren\u2014namely, its habit of building several nests to puzzle its enemies, duck has a little habit which sportsmen observe.lt is, itself, generally considered.too fishy for the table, but several of this species are aggravating enough to nettle themselves on the water, just out of gun shot, and give warning to other ducks that the placid decoys are not all they promise to be.A bird of strange instincts is the cowbird, leaving its eggs to be hatched in another bird's nest.Strangely like the fashionable woman mother is this feathered gadabout, which lcaves its own young to the varving kindness of foster care.The Luropcan cuckoo is of the cow-bird\u2019s faith regarding domestic ties, but to the ercdit of the American cuckoo it must be said that it builds its own house and brings up its own family in the orthodox, independent American wav.Mr.Wintle has found eggs of the cow- \"bird in the nests of the following varieties: Phoebe, hermit thrush, American red- start, vellow warbler, Wilson's thrush, chestnut-sided warbler, song sparrow, slate-colored junco, indigo bunting, American gold-finch, red-cyed vireo, and chipping sparrow.In some instances yellow warblers have built on top of tle first nest which contained a cow-bird's egy, Many birds adopt the eggs and rear the young cow-birds.Chambly is mentioned as peculiar in having many strange accidental A-isitors.A dovekie was killed in the rapfds there sIX or seven winters ago, a baldpate or American widgeon was shot in 1891, a magpie in 1883, and on November 11, 1882, a European woodeoclk.This woodcock is the third onlv which is recorded as oceur- ring in North America.Seventeen sporting sketches compiled by David Denne are added to the book.They deal with fishing and hunting in a humorous way, abounding with good de- garden on Durocher Street in 91, an- Thursday will be the thirty-fifth anniver- { sary of the death of the Prince Consort, \u201cAlbert the Good,\u201d husband of Victoria, Queen of England, and \u201cfather oË our kings to be.\u201d He passed away on December 14th, 1861, at Windsor Castle.He wis a loving husband, help-mate and counsellor to Her Majesty.Few of her subjects have had such a happy married life as she had dur ing the twenty-one years they lived together.As the child-hood and boy hood of th: Prince Consort is not very well-known, an account of it may prove very interesting to the readers of The Herald, The Prince was cousin to the Queen, and was born on August 26tr, 1819, at the Rosenau, about four miles from Co- ourg.His grand-mother in announcing his birth to the Duchess of Kent, her danghter, writes: \u201cIle looks about like a little squirrel, with a pair of large bluc eyes\u201d; and wondered what the little \u201cMayflower\u201d\u2014meaning the Princess Victoria\u2014 would think of her little cousin.Our Queen was then three months old, having been born at Kensington Palace, London, on May 24, 1819, a day so loyally kept by Canadians.Again the Dowager Duchess of Coburg writes : \u201cLittle Alberinchen with his large blue eyes is bewitching.The little fellow is the pendant to his pretty cousin, very be Queen of England.\u201d His prophesying handsome, but too slight for a boy; live- Iv, very funny, all good nature and full oi mischief.\u201d The Princess little thought, as she grew older, that she would ever become Queen of England, although her father, the Duke cf Kent, when showing her to friends always said, \u201cLook at her well, for she will be Queen of England.\u201d His prophecy was fulfilled.She also had no idea that she would fall in love with her handsome Cousin.Francis Albert Augustus Charles Emanuel was the second son of Ernest, Duke of Saxe-Cobourg and Gotha.He was verÿ carefully educated from his carliest child- hcod.He was very fond of music, painting, and natural history.In 1558, when visiting Coburg, he writes to the Queen : \u201cI went to-day to the museum, where I once more paid my respects to all the birds, butter-flics, stones and shells, and: called to mind every circumstance connected with their acquisition.\u201d He brother Ernest had formed the nucleus of the Frnest Albert Museum of Natural Objects, called after the brothers, now removed to the Testung af Coburg.This | and his scriptions.Major-General Ilorne\u2019s \u201cWith The red-breasted merganaser or fish 940640 290000000000

return given his views of Amaricans and things Ame crican to the English press.JE Dr.Nicoll is not too partial a witness on this pont, no English writers are more pupulir in the States at the present time than the members of that Scotch school of wh.ch Mr.Burric is so distinguished à represei- lative, * Beside tl jonnie Brier Bush,\u201d raid e the Don Dr.Nicoll on this point, \u2018has enjoye.i, in company with *Trilby,\u201d the largest eur culation of all the British novels which arc Leing read in the States at the present time, while Mr.Barrie's works are ; ; apr ' i.circulated in countless forms th:ough out the length and breadth of the land.So fur as the unauthorized editions aie concerned, of which there are many, thes: date, of course, from the period prior to the passing of the Copyright Act.Nowadays the condition of things is very differ ent, and the English author who makes : ._ .+ 1 his mark over here finds even a larger pub- : .i 5 lie ready in his hand on the other side ol the water.\u201d Dr.Nicoll's conclusion stems to Le that the American man of letters gets cons!- derably less support than he deseives- ?not oniy from ourseives, but from his own countrymen\u2014though tbe time is not far off, Le hopes, when this will no long: be the case.Though the States may have few writers just now whose works can be justly compared with thos: of cour leading men, yet there are many whose writings should Le better known than they ave, As it is, the desire of the American reader is largely for the works of Inglish writers, and the native author gets less than his due even in his own country, while if the scant attention whith he reccives over here be considered also, the contrast becomes still more marked.\u201cTt would be hardly going too far to say,\u201d observer Dr.Nicoll as to this, \u2018that the American writer receives from the English publie less than a twentieth of the amount which our leading writers draw from the States.\u201d Yet, as he went on to observe, this state of things notwithstanding, nothing could exceed the cordiality and courtesy extended to Eng- Lich literary men, such as himscli and Mr.Barrie, by their brethren in the States.Wherefore, surely, all honor to their magnanimity and generssitv.Considering the country gencraily, the abiding hupression retained amidst all ite diversities of race and creed was its essentially English character.\u201cIn spite of its many alien elements, this was the conclusion which was forced on me again and again.Notwithstanding all the different nationalities represented in its population, the nation, as a whole, is, as Freeman said, essentially and unmistakably Enzs- lish at bettom.Here and there, no doubt, in some of the big towns you will tind a strong foreign clement, maintaining its own institutions, newspapers, ways of - thought, and s5 on.Dut the impression forced on one after a study of the country as a whole is that ili's state of things cannot last very leng; year by year the race is becoming more and more English.\u201d \u201cAs to the feclings menerally entertained towards the Motke- Country,\u201d sad Dr.Nicoll, \u201cwe found them t> be uniformly friendly, thouzh those who look 10r- ward to the union of th\u201d two countries in à great Anglo-Saxon Lezgite of Pearce will have to wait a very lonz time, | wn afraid, before their dreams ar: real.zed.Nothing, 1 should say, is much further from the minds of the American BOOKS AND THOSE WHO MAKE THEM.® +04 006000006 9000009660 944064044406

favorably, indeed.There is no institution of the States more misunder stood in this country, to my mind.\u2018the is a good deal of sensationalism, of courst, about their headlines and outward appear: ance, but it is mostly all on the eurtace.There is little havm in it all.Indeed, i should say\u2014and the matter was one tu which 1 naturally gave very considerabic attention\u2014the contents of the average American newspaper are in some Ways less open to criticism than tho:e of ou: own journals.Such details of divor.e cases, for instance, as you may find in the Lest conducted of our papers, you Will look for in vain in the newspapers of the States, while in the matter of their leading articles and generally literary tone they are making steady advance.Nothing is more remarkable, indeed, than the large numbers of university men who are adopting journalism as ther profession to-day in the Staées.\u201d TUTE DA MR.DOYLE AND THE PRIZE RING.If we judge from \u201cRodney Stone,\u201d Mr.Conan Dovle out-Ballours Mr.Balfour in lis zeal for athletics.So far from thinking that manly sports occupy too much of the time and thought of modern young men, he seems instead to be pining for the restoration of the \u201cfancy\u201d and the reorganization of the ring on a legal basis.The ring, le points out, truly enough, fell into disrepute when it fell into the hands of rogues.Lut that was not always its evil plight.1t had a respectable, even a glorious, period: \u2014 1; Public opinion was then largely in its favor, and there were good reasons why it should be go.It was a time of war, when England with an army and navy composed only of those who volunteered to fight because they had fighting blood in them, liad to encounter, as they would now have to encounter, a power which could by des- police law turn every citizen into a soldier.If the people had not been full of this lust for combat, it is certain that England ust have been overborne.And it was thought on the face of it reasonable that a struggle between iwgy indomitable men, with thirty thousand to view it and three million to discuss it, did set a standard of hardihood and endurance.Brutal it was, no doubt, and its brutality is the end of it* but it is not so brutal as war, which will survive at.In \u201cRodney Stone\u201d Mr.Doyle writes for- ciblv about the ring and a hundred other matters of interest in the days of \u2018\u2018the bucks.\u201d This period, covering the last vears of last century and the first years of this, has come into favor with novelists of recent vears.Mr.Meredith chose it for his \u201cAmazing Marriage,\u201d in which, by the way, there is a prize fight, more amazing and even more Vivaciously told than the fights in \u201cRodney Stone.\u201d But though Mr.Conan Doyle is much pre-oceu- pied with the ring, it is by no means all that he has to talk about.He has read the period in memoirs and letters with an admirably curious spirit of research, he is daring enough to bring in the portraits of all the great people, including Nelson, Collingwood, Fox, Sheridan, and the Prince of Wales, and he gives us in this story about as lively a picture of a man of fashion in those days as is possible within the limits of historical youth.NOTES.Tt is reported that \u201cTreasure Island,\u201d (which Mr.E.C.Stedman says he reads once a year regularly) was read by Mr.:Gladstone when first published, and that \u201cone of his family has liad to re-read it peopl: two or three times since to keep up with - 4064490000 him in discussing the different methods of the many murders.Conan Doyle recently told the following Stevenson story at the Omar Khayyam Club London : \u201cIn rsponse to an invitation from Stevenson to visit him in Samoa, Mr.Doyle asked the great romancer how one got there.\u2018Oh,\u2019 said Stevenson, \u2018vou go to America, cross the continent to San Francisco, and then it\u2019s the second turning to the left.\u201d \u201d When J.M.Barrie was invited by the Aberdeen corporation to lecture a year or so ago, he wrote in reply expressing thanks, but adding : \u201cOn the few occasions on which I have been on a platform, [ wished to get beneath it.I never did lecture, and I am sure I never could.\u201d The Chap-Book recalls an incident in which Barrie presided with dismal ve- sults at a Burns supper at Ayr.The National Observer chaffed lim unmercifully the next day for his gaucherie, and when his friends began to protest it leaked out that Barric himself had written the article.On petition of the creditors of the Arena Tublishing Company made October 1, 1895, before Judge Dunbar to appoint a tempor ary receiver, A.D.Chandler, Esq., was appointed for the protection and adjust- cent of the interests of the creditors during a re-oragnization of the company.The officers of the company did not contest the petition, feeling that it is for the best intcrests of all parties concerned as an equitable plan pending the business changes to be made.The Arena Company will be re-capitalized by experienced business men and placed in new hands and on a firm financial basis, the magazine to be an open court for the promulgation of all authoritative and important opinions.The business of the Arena, both as a magazine and as a book-publishing house, has had quite a phenomenal growth, but had not sufficient capital to handle the business into which it had developed.With the re-organized company the Arena will be enabled to extend its growth and add to its reputation now so well established, in the success of which all readers and thinkers feel a personal interest on account o the national influence which this publication has attained.JULES LEMAITRE OX LITERARY SNOBS.M.Lemaitre, the ce'ebrat-d French critic, has been lecturing at the Academie Irancaise on snobs.The word gnob, he observes, is much used nowadays, and, like other fashionable words, by the snobs themselves.He uses it \u201cia the sense in which it pleases Parisians to understand it\u2014a sense which would hive rather astonished the author of * Vanity Fair?\u201d We quote from the Revue Jn- cyclopedique of November 7: -
