Debate in the United States Senate Yesterday.Washington, Jan.23.\u2014The arbitration treaty came up for discussion in the Sen- ante yesterday.Mr.Hoar precipitated the discussion.In presenting a petition from a chamber of commerce, favorable to the speedy ratification of the treaty, the Massachusetts Senator added some observations on the public press and on the Senate.\u201cWhile no man is more desirous than and good will towards man,\u201d said Mr.Hoar, \u201cyet I wish to enter my protest against the meddling with the serious duty of Senators, either by sermons or professional lecturers.\u201d Mr.Sherman followed Mr.Hoar.\u201cNo one is more ready than myself,\u201d he said, \u201cto congratulate the country on the great achievement of concluding this treaty of arbitration, The time has come when the nations of the world should turn their attention to the settlement of differences by peaceful methods instead of a resort to war.\u201d At the same time, Mr.Sherman said, the treaty was one involving such grave considerations that it should have the most careful, mature and dispassionate consideration.That was the present purpose ofny Ÿ* commission on foreign relations, cant\u201dthe members of that commission were about to take up the treaty and consider it article by article with the greatest care.It would not be propemn said Mrs Sherman, for him to say what the result would be, even if he knew.But it was certain that the commission would proceed with all speed compatible with the interests involved.There was no purpose to postpone or delay action.\u201cAbout how long has the consideration of the subject proceeded between the Secretary of State and Tord Salisbury?\u201d inquired Mr.Allison.\u201cCertainly for a year, if not longer,\u201d answered Mr, Sherman.\u201cMr.Gresham took active part in the early negotiations.\u201d Mr.Hoar further explained that the question had been up in one form or another for twenty years., Mr.Gladstone kad made a speech on it in the House of Commons 25 years ago.A delegation came from England ten years ago, bearing à request from a majori*y of the members of Parliament favorable to arbitration.The delegation was entertained in Boston and there was favorable response to their effort throughout this country.MAKES HIMSELF CLEAR.Rev.Donald Tait, of Quebec, Further Explains His Position on the School Questiou.Quebec, Jan.23.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The Quebec Chronicle having published the Res.Mr.Donald Tait\u2019s letter on the Manitoba School Question, which appeared in Thursday\u2019s Herald, accompanied with comments on the pastor of Chalmers Church, be has addressed to the Chronicle a letter of which the following is the substance: \u2018The purpose of my letter and its main

From the facts which l have mentioned I think it must be plain to Roman Catholics and Frotes- tants alike, that Protestants who may approve generally of the late settlement of the Manitoba School

headquarters at this place, has been suspended by the Hon.A.(.Blair, Minister of Railways.Mr.Macdonald is under stood to be in Montreal at the present time.1t is understood that he is charged with having made himself particuisrly obnoxious during the general election last summer, when the Intercolonial Railway was used for all it was worth as a Conservative machine.Mr.Macdonaid was the director-general of the business in this section, and it is not surprising that he is the first official of any prominence to come under the attention of the new Government.MAN SAILED SKYWARD.Successful Kite Flying Trial in New York City.Experiments Will Be Valuable in the Case of War\u2014Description of the Kite.New York, Jan.23.\u2014Lieutenant Hugh D.Wise, of the Ninthe Infantry, U.S.A, the kite sharp on Govenor\u2019s Island, made the first kite ascension ever successfully attempted in America yesterday afternoon.Yor six months the lieutenant, entirely on his own responsibility, has been studying and experimenting with kites as a means of assisting armies in warfare.The tandem system of specially constructed kites is intended to supplant the use of balloons, which cannot live in gales, which are just the atmospheric conditions required for the flying of the frail supports on the aero-plane plan.Yesterday furnished the suitable weather conditions, the first since last fall, for the licutenant\u2019s experiment.His Lites are cellular.They consist of rectangular frames of spruce.Cotton string and cotton cloth in strips are stretched around the ends of the frames, leaving both ends of the rectangular framework open, and also an open strip in the centre.Thus four lifting surfaces and four guiding surfaces are presnted to the wind.In other words, the kites are like soap boxes with both ends open and a wide band the middle of the soap box.First a tandem of two was raised.The first box-kite contained twenty square feet of cotton cloth, while the second or lower ixite\u2014150 feet lower\u2014contained ninety square feet.After this tandem had been raised the spine, which is a stick of spruce, broke into splinters.The string had to be hauled down and a new spine substituted.After the primary tandem had been sue- cessfully raised a second time a supplementary tandem of kites, the topmost one containing forty square feet of cloth and the lower, also 150 feet down, 160 square feet of cotton surface, was raised.The hempen cords attached to the separate teams were then brought together, or, rather the cord of the sccond aerial team was made fast to a ring with which the first connected.It required nine soldiers to attach the supplementary system to the primary.A stout iron windlass having been fastened to the trunk of a tree, the line leading to the common ring was paid out from the cylinder.To the ring was attached a block, through which was rove the hoisting line.One end of the hoisting line was secured to a bo\u2019s'n\u2019s chair and the other was held by two infantrymen.When the ring was fifty feet from the round Lieut.Wise seated himself in the o\u2019s'n\u2019s chair and the infantrymen hoisted away.The breeze was too light,the two systems of kites sagged and the ring was pulled down twenty feet When the breeze freshened, about four pm.to a fifteen-mile-an-hour gait the lieutenant tried it again and was safely hoisted forty-two feet, so that he could see over the eaves of the officers\u2019 quarters and down the bay.The bo\u2019s\u2019n\u2019s chair then hung only about eight feet from the ring.Lieut.Wise was then lowered to the parade ground, none the worse for his perilous trip cloud- ward, held only by such flimsy supports as cotton and spruce sticks.The force represented by the pulling of the four kites is estimated at 400 pounds.SOURED ON BRAZIL.More Canadians Will be Shipped to Liverpool and From Thence Home.Ottawa, Jan.23.\u2014(Special.)-\u2014The Do- minon Government has received a cable from the Colonial Secretary stating that he has been advised by the British Consulate in Brazil that the latter intends forwarding to Liverpool three or four more Canadians who recently reached there from Montreal and who are now in destitute circumstances.The emigrants will no doubt be sent on to Canada from Liverpool and the Dominion Government will have to bear the cost.Their experience ought to be a warning to all Canadians to keep away from Brazil, TRADE STATEMENT.Exports and Imports for the Month of December Indicate a Heavy Trade.Ottawa,

With Representing Himself as Agent for a Toronto Firm, and Taking Subscriptions.The ofticers of the Canadian secret service have just made one of the cleverest captures of the season, On Tuesday, the 19th instant, they received the following telegram from Detective Joseph E.Rogers, Inspector of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Province of Ontario, Toronto: \u201cLook out for and arrest S.E.Knox, alias Lane, alias Montague, alias Bird, swindler, representing himself as the agent of \u2018I.Eaton & Co., Toronto, taking subscriptions for the \u201cDelineator,\u201d \u201cStandard,\u201d \u201cDesigner,\u201d \u201cGentlewomen,\u201d and \u201cLife of the Queen.\u201d Arrest and wire me at once.Charge fraud.I hold warrant for arrest.\u201d On the receipt of the above telegram the officers of the Canadian secret service immediately set about making enquiries, and finally succeeded in tracing their man to Lachute, Que., where he had been cn the 4th instant.From Lachute he was traced to St.Scholastique, then to Ste.Therese, St.Jerome, New Glasgow, Joliette, St.Lin and Three Rivers.From there he was traced across the river to Sorel, where he operated, and finally to Doucett\u2019s Ferry, where he was arrested last night at 12 o'clock and brought back to Montreal.The officers had quite an exciting chase after the man with the many aliases, us he was very careful in covering his tracks.He was, however, not shrewd enough to baffle the officers after him.This man is charged with having operated in almost every part of Canada, and ;has been wanted by the police for over two years.It is claimed that he has obtained over $5,000 through the subserip- tions taken within the last eight months.His mode of operating is said to have been to call on the dressmakers and ladies of the localities where he would turn up, and take subscriptions for the above mentioned periodicals.He would also promise to send samples of dress goods from the firm of T.Eaton & Co., and he would generally give a receipt and sign the name of 5.E.Knox & Son, care ot I.Eaton & Co, Toronto.The police say that a favorite way of his to obtain subscriptions to his periodicals was to elicit the sympathies of the public by stating that on obtaining a certain number of subscribers, the firm of Eaton & Co.were to give him a free term in college, and, as he had not the means to pay for his tuition, he had adopted this course to obtain his education.He is described as follows: Height about 5 feet 11 inches; 25 years of age, fair complexion, rather stout build, blue eyes, reddish hair worn in pompadour fashion, clean shaven, well dressed, and of a pleasant manner.\u2018There are in all about 47 charges of fraud against the prisoner, in the Province of Ontario alone, and as the Provincial Gov- crnment have taken the matter in hand to bring him to justice, it is expected that lie will receive his just deserts.He was arraigned before the Police Magistrate this morning and was remanded to await instructions from Toronto.McGILL BOYS BUSY.Conversat Committee Pushing Thing Along, Varsity Orators Will Try Conclusions \u2014The Rugby

Jan.23.\u2014Lord George Hamilton, Secretary of State for India, in the House of Commons, vesterday made a long statement on the subject of the measures taken by the Indian Government to cope with the plague.He pointed out that there was no epidemic apart from Bombay, Karachi and Poona.He added that every house in the infected quarters was medically visited, and stated that the insam- tary houses are demolished.The Secretary for India also said that a strong medical staff was being organized, that all persons leaving Bombay, Karachi and Poona are medically inspected before they leave.and that they are also examined on arrival at their destination.Lx- perts, he admitted, predicted some increase of the plague in the winter, but the Government was hopeful that the measures adopted were beginning to make a real impression, ra ARMS FOR CUBA Filibusterer Succeeds in Landing a Good Supply.The Report that Captain-General Weyler is to Be Succeeded Not Verified.New York, Jan.23.\u2014A special to the Iierald from Tampa, Ila, says: \u201cNews reached here by the steamer which arrived to-day from llavana stating that official advices rcceived by cable from Santiago de Cuba, at the Palace in Havana, yester- 1 day, report the landing of a good-sized expedition on the southern coast of Santiago de Cuba Province on Sunday night.The Palace authorities will neither :diait nor deny the truth of the report.It is hinted by those who are in close contact with the officials that the expedition probably started from Jamaica and landed east of Santiago de Cuba City, where, it is supposed, the rebel forces under Gen.Calixto Garcia went to take charge of the war material.The name of the filibustering steamer is not known here.\u201cAnother expedition, said to be of greater importance, is reported to have landed several days ago at a place on the southern ccast of l\u2019inar del Rio Province.This one, it is thought, must have been landed from the United States, judging from the American labels upon the empty packages found strewn on the beach.The ammunition, to all appearances, was carried off by the Cuban forces of Gen.Rius Rivera, which have had undisputed control of that part of the coast for two weeks.\u201d San Juan, Porto Rico, Jan.22.\u2014Gen.Sobras Marin, the Governor-General of Porto Rico, in an interview to-day, said that he had not heard any rumor that he is to go to Cuba to succeed Captain-General Weyler there in command.The Governor-General says that the reforms granted by Spain to Porto Rico will be put into operation just as son as the details arrive here from Spain.In the meantime, he says, the number of troops on theyisland is constantly varying, according to requirements here.There is great curiosity and some anxiety among all classes here to learn the full de- fails and particulars of the new reforms.here now and owning large estates said recently, in view of the rumors of Gen.Marin being transferred to Cuba, that no more able Governor-General had ever held the office in Porto Rico.ROYAL VICTORIA The Annual Meeting of the Governors Yesterday.An Interesting Report by the S~cretary Giving the Statistics for the Year Just Ended.The governors of the Royal Victoria Hospital held their third annual meeting yesterday afternoon.Mr.R.B.Angus presided, and the others present were E.S.Clouston, Dr.Craik, Thomas Davidson, Hon.G.A.Drummond, C.M.Hays, Principal Peterson and James Ross.Mr.Jolin J.Robson, secretary and superintendent, presented his report.During the year there wcre admitted to the hospital 2,016 patients, of whom 1,059 were Protestants, 897 Roman Catholics, 50 Jews, and 10 of other faiths; 1,356 free patients, 321 public patients paying fifty cents per day and 259 private patients.There were discharged 2,049 patients, of whom 1,020 were cured, 710 improved, 92 unimproved, 101 not treated, 117 died, and 107 remaiaed.Of the 117 deaths, 21 took place within 48 hours of admission.The total number ot patients\u2019 days was 61,241.The average number of days in hospital per patient was 20.8 There were 22,727 consultations at the Out-Door department, the highest number in one day being 137.For tha year the current expenses were $83,820.74 and the ordinary receipts $45,043.74.The revenues from the enlarged endowment fund, however, had been enjoyed for only one quarter; but in order to provide for the balance of these expenses, and all other expenditures, a sufficient amount was reserved, by request of the founders, and set apart from their original donation.The total cost per patient per day was $134.The number of private patients was much larger than the previous year, and on several occasions more private wards could have been utilized.The public pay patients had decreased in number, as à result of a strict supervision exercised in the admission of patients to the public wards, in order that the benefits might be restricted to the really poor and needy.Mr.R.G.Reid was elected a governor, and Mr.R.B.Angus was elected president for the ensuing year.The House Committee consists of Messrs.R.B.Angus, E.S Clouston, Hon.G.A.Drummond, A.T.Paterson and James Ross.Messrs.I.G.Ogden and G.A.Farmer were appointed honorary auditors.Votes of thanks were accorded the at- terding physicians and surgeons, the staff of the hospital and the auditors.POPE'S SUCCESSOR.Seems to be His Holiness\u2019 Desire That Cardinal Santo Stefano Should Succeed Him.London, Jan.23\u2014The recent appoiat- ment of Mgr.Luigi Oreglia Di Santo Ste- fano, who was already Cardinal Camer- lengo of the Holy Roman Church and sub- dean of the Sacred College, as head of the Sacred College, gives him the best chance to succeed the present Pope, and is taken as indicating that His Holiness, in thus accumulating power in the hands of Car- diral Santo Stefano, desires to accentuate his wish that the latter should succeed him.THE QUEEN'S HEALTH.Recent cable despatches from London to the United States stating that the health of the Queen is so bad that she shows some evidence of insaaity have led the *\u2018Lancet\u201d to declare on authority that such reports are absolutely untrue, an: that the condition of Her Majesty does not give any cause for anxiety to her medical advisers, apart from that naturally altaching to old age.POPE'S PRESENT TO THE QUEEN London, Jan.22.\u2014Tt is stated that the Pope has decided to present to Queen Victoria a golden vase upon the occasion of her diamond jubilee, KITCHENER 0 BULLER Who Will be Given the Command in the Soudan ?Indications Point to Buller on Account of His Longer Experience-On to Khartoum.London, Jan.23.\u2014The latest news from Cairo indicates that the start of the Anglo-Egyptian expedition to Khartoum may be expected within six months, The preliminaries are being expedited, and when Sir Redvers Buller, V.C., the adju- tant-general for the forces (for it is no longer doubted that Buller will supersede Sic Herbert Kitchener at the head of the 10 000 British troops who are going to stiffen the backbone of the Egyptian army) starts for Khartoum he will probably find but little to impede a rapid advance on this side of Berber.There is no reason why Kitchener should be superseded, except on account of his vouth, Sir Herbert Kitchener was born in 1850 and Sir Redvers Buller was born in 1839, But it is {elt that a veteran is needed at the head of the expedition which 18 te make the important advance about to ba undertaken.It is understood, however, that the command of the army of occupation will be given Sir Herbert Kitchener.EDUCATION ALL RIGHT, Provincial Ministers Visit the Club Coursol, Premier Flynn Thinks Criticism of Educational System Unjust\u2014Rail- way Land Subsidies.In Hon.Mr.Flynn\u2019s visits around the city he came last night to the Club Cour sol in St.Mary\u2019s division, where a large number of Conservative workers had gath- eved to hear the Provincial Ministers.Mr.Flynn was accompaunied by Hon.Louis Lieaubien, Hon.G.E.Nantel, Hon.Joseph Xoyal, Mr.Francis Martineau, ML,P.P, A prominent American subject resi2ing\".and others.Hon.Mr.Flynn gave the reasons why he expected a favorable verdict at the polls.The Government had faithfully kept all their promises.They promised to abolish the taxes and they had abolished them.Tf Quebec had to-day a deht ot over $30.000.000 it avas because its Government had made great sacrifices to give the people railway facilities.Some two thousand miles of railway had heen built, and subsidies to the amount of $20,000,000 in hard cash spent.The obligations to railways in the matter of land subsidies, amounting to $3,000,000, had been settled for half that amount.and no one who went into the question could deny that {bis was a wise and econoniieal policy.lt would benernt the vailways their creditors, the banks that advanced them money, and the laborers that built them.Regurding colonization the Premier said he would like to see the surplus population of the cities take up lands and make homes for themselves.Some people had eriticised the condition of education in the Province, in which they were uniust.He would not deny that there was an imperfect side to the medal, but the critics had only looked at that side.The education of the people was the most sacred duty devolving upon the Government.and his Government had done ils duty.Notwithstanding all that had been done.and in spite of their honest desire to administer public affairs as business men, they had failed to meet the wishes of Hon.Mr.Marchand and his fo!- lewers.But the Opposition never dared accuse thera of maladministration; the most they could say was that the Govern: ment had expended too much.Hon.Mr.Beaubien devoted himself to a review of the Mercier regime ,and a de- tence of the present Government's honesty.Hon.Mr.Nantel declared that the Conservative party was the true national party, the party cf order and progress.He claimed that Mr.Taillon\u2019s bill regarding the payment of wages by railway companies was the best measure ever adopted for the protection of workingmen, aud that the night schools were more effective than when established by Mr.Mercier.He concluded by the assertion that the best men of all parties were rallying to Mr.Elvnn\u2019s support.Hon.Joseph Royal and Mr.Martineau also spoke, SIR WILLIAM ROSE, Member of the Canadian Bar Makes Himself Very Unpopular With the People.London, Jan.23.\u2014The attempt of Sir William Rose, who is a member of the Canadian Bar, and who has served in.the Canadian Militia, to shut out the public from the historie grounds of his seat, Moor Park, near Farnham, Surrey, has created a great a great deal of ill-fceling and led to a remarkable manifestation on Sunday, when the gates were locked for the first time in generations.Hundreds of people.headed by the Farnham District Council, marched to the gates and demanded admittance.When this was refused, the councilmen cut the bolts and chains with chisels and hammers, brought for the purpose, and the crowds flocked into the grounds, cheering for the council \u2018There was much hooting when the crowd passed the mansion.The chains and fasterings of all the other gates were cut in the same manner.SPHAKER LE BLANC'S VISIT.Quebec, Jan.22.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Messrs.Forgues & Wiseman, stationers, have deposited their statement of liabilities, which amount to about $12,000.The Hon.Speaker Le Blanc of the Legislative Assembly is in town to-day.He will leave behind him traces of his visit here.Last night, it is said, he went to a clerk in aa important department and told him that in order to satisfy political exigencies he was obliged to discharge him.In counsid- eration of the employe\u2019s poor condition the man was allowed to work as a messenger in the building until he can find something else to do outside.The poor man\u2019s crime is only that he was appointed under the late Mercier administration.CANNOT VISIT CANADA, London.Jan.23.\u2014It is stated to be impossible for the Duke and Duchess of York to visit Canada in 1897, owing to the condition of the herith of the Duchess.She will he unable t) travel before the autumn.LONDON CABLE NEWS, Interest in the Queens Diamond Jubilee.RENT RATES INCREASING.Mark Twain, the American Humorist, in Trouble.Senator Wolcott's Mission Not Proving Very Successful\u2014U.8.Should Take First Steps.London, Jan.23.-\u2014Interest in the Qucen\u2019s diamond jubilee is augmenting rapidly everywhere with the universal preparations to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of her rcign.West End rents have already doubled and large numbers où the aristos- racy who usually let their houses for the season, are remaining in town.À house im Grosvenor Gardens has been let by the week for the season at sixty guineas weekly and the tradesmen predict that the coming seson will be the mast profitable in years past.Business is already phenomenally ac tive, It is rumored that Senator Edward Q.Woleott of Colorado, who has been visiting Frgland in the interest of bi-metallism is not quite satisfied with the progress of his erquirics here.He has been delayed in meeting people owing to their absence from town, and of course he had no oflicial credentials.The Bi-metallic League, how ever, has given Scnator Wolcoit the bearti- est reception and Sir William Heury Houldswoith, Conservative Member of Pa.liament#for the North-western Division of Manchester, who was the British delegate a: the monetary conference at Brussels in 1392, and Lord Aldenham, senior partnev in the firm of Anthony, Gibbs & Sons.bankers and merchants, and formerly a governor, now a director of the Bank of England, have had long interviews with the Senator and are aiding him in every way possible.Senator Wolcott finds thar the position here remains unchanged from the time of the Brussels conference, name- lv, that the British Government and the House of Commons are committed to do all in their power to secure by international agreement the stable monetary par of the exchange of gold and silver, The Bank of England is still willing to keep a fifth of its reserve in silver bara.But, in spite of the willingness of Great Rritain, which has been expressed to Senator Wolcott, to bring the mints of India into any international agreement, Great Britain, under no civeumstances, will take the initiative in calling a uow conference, considering, as she does, that the above offers are the first practical step towards international bi-metallism taken by any government.She now wants to see what practical steps other governments are willing to take.The continental Powers are equally unwilling to take the lead in calling a monetary conference as they unanimously believe that the United States, must take the initiative.MARK TWAIN IN TROUBLE.Few of Mark Twain's many friends know of the plucky fight he is making with adversity, or how badly hg has been used by furtune.In a word, Mark Twain, who, a couple of years ago, thought h'm- self a rich man, is to-day worse than pen niless.Since his return from Africa, a few months ago, he has been living in very modest lodgings in London, going nowhere and seeing but one or two friends, working all day at a history of his trip around the world.With the proceeds of this book he hopes to be uble to pay off his creditors, and to leave something for his family.Mark Twain lost practically everything when Webster and Company failed, and the lecture trip around the world, which he undertook with the hope of retrieving his fortune, did not turn out a financial success for him.So, over sixty years of age, in poor health, and in a strange country, America\u2019s greatest humorist, is, perhaps, working harder than ever before, BURNS' CENTENNIAL.Caledonian Society Honors Scotland's Poet \u2014 Marie Hollinshead Sings

as compared with our regular Saturday paper, and we believe it does not compare unisvorably with the best papers in the country.\u2018In respect of compactness, careful sclection and condensation, we believe it has a distinct advantage.Some of to-day's features are: Municipal Reform article telling about the new cabinet system, which has been introduced into the civic government of Toronto.Also an article dealing with the charter of Greater New York and re torm of Montreal's civic administration.Book Reviews: One by Rev.Clark Murray, of Prof.John Watson's now book, \u201cChristianity and Idealism.\u201d Other reviews and interesting articles of interest to book devotees.Two short stories: A Hasty Conclusion, written for Tue Herald by Miss Alice L.Beckwith.of Barton, Vermont, and -\\ Very Limited Monarchy, by Walter E Grogan.Musical Matters in which Harmony tak ing the visit of Guilbert as a text, discusscs the degeneracy of public taste; Mr.C.A.E.Harris's new opera, Torquil.Paul Pry also pays his respects to Guil bert and declares her songs to be rubbish: interesting theatrical gossip, local and otherwise.Hotch Potch is a department described Among its other timely ar ticles is one giving a short history of the bubonic plague.\"I'he Herald, Junior furnishes a good mixture of selections for vounger readers.In a batch of letters to the editor a uumber of topics are treated, such as Mr.John Torrance\u2019s candidature for the Poard of Trade presidency, the Montreal Inter national Exposition, the Royal Scots trouble, plebiscite and referendum, and the Street Railway difficulty with the city.Peculiarities of light sleepers: An article written for The Herald in which some singular facts and stories about tele graph operators and railway men are interestingly told.The Sporting department which is a reliable and complete feature of the paper, contains, besides the other news of the day, a report of the Montreal curling club\u2019s dinner.There is also a thrilling story, called A Game of Poker.The Woman's Page is a daily feature.To-day\u2019s department contains the usual Saturday fashion cuts specially drawn for The Herald.Madge Merton gives her daily instalinent of cheerful and helpful philosophy.Other eading of interest to women makes the page replete.The National Alliance is treated in a special article, the first of a series in which all the principal fraternal societies of the city will be dealt with.It is illustrated with a cut of Mr.Laporte, head of the Alliance Nationale.hTe weekly review of trade by the commercial and financial editor is a regular weekly contribution.\u201cMistakes We Make\u201d is a curious de partment in which each Saturday popular historical and other fallacies which have their beginning in our school-days are dispelled.A special article about the Westmount Scheols, with illustrations.Among the editorial articles is one regarding French-Canaidans and the Church, in which newspapers outside of Quebec are asked to remember that the people of this Province have shown that they may be trusted to settle their political differences with their Church.A line drawing taken from a recent photograph of Mrs.G.A.Drummond, first past president of the Local Couneil of the National Council of Women.In the news of the day, the telegraphic despatches cover every happening of importance in Canada and foreign countries.The design is to give the important news of each day as fully as, or more fully than, any other paper, while condensing matters of minor interest.In the local news field we believe we can fairly claim that The Herald leads its contemporaries in the crispness and freshness of its columns, and in general alertness.A comparison of its columns with those of its contemporaries will show that they have a greater diversity and a greater quantity of what the news-getter calls exclusive news.in its name.We invite a comparison.FORMALLY PROROGUED.March 8 the Date

representative of the bublic WhooTs, and the Professor of Mathematics at the Royal Military Academy.The London Times, in the course of a long editorial devoted to the.Colonies, reverts to Canada in the following items: \u201cThe leading event in the history of Canada for the year has been the change of Ministry, which took place as a consequence of the elections held throughout the Dominion on June 23.After eighteen years of power, during which period an immense amount of valuable public work has been achieved, the Conservative party in Dominion politics has made way for the Liberals, under a leader universally respected on both sides.Hon.Wilfrid Lau- vier is the first French-Canadian Premier of the Dominion, a fact which added to the satisfaction wherewith his accession to power was hailed by moderate men of both parties.The Ministry formed by Mr.Laurier is strong in executive ability, being composed largely of men already tested in Provincial Cabinets.In showing the capacity for producing a capable Ministry enjoying the confidence of the electorate on either side of polities, it is hoped that Canada has emerged from the initial stage of a perpetually re-elected Government of Public Works common to all young self-governing colonies, and is now about to enter upon a more mature period of wholesome alternation without danger of unconstitutional convulsion.\u201cThe Government of Mr.Laurier has hardly had time to offer material by its works for either criticism ov praisé.It came into power as the Government of the free-trade party, aud a course of tariff investigation has already been entered upon with a view to ascertaining what changes may be safely introduced.It is, however, improbable that any great modification can be made in the immediate fu 1 ture.A partial adjustment of the Manitoba schools difficulty has been effected.The schemes of cable and fast steam shipping communication between Canada end other portions of the Empire have received sympathetic consideration, and Mr.Laurier has expressed his warm personal interest in both schemes.A cable conference, which has held its sittings in London in the later weeks of the year, is believed to have brought the former pro- Jeet near Lo completion, hut the results of the deliberations of the conference has hot yet been given to the world.\u201cCanada, like the Australasian colonies has

cow, his own property, by curling off a portion of its tail.The evidence was conclusive.Kirby had previously charged William Cormack, a farmer\u2019s son, with maliciously injuring the animal.The prisoner had been a large farmer, but had given way to intemperance, and was jealous of Cormack, The prisoner's counsel contended that it was impossible for a man to commit a malicious or an unlawful injury to his own property.Judge Adams said the framers of the statute appeared never to have contemplated that a man would do injury to his own cattle.The jury having convicted the prisoner, he was allowed out on bail, the Judge stating tha the would reserve the point raised by Mr.Doyle for argument before the Court for Crown cases reserved.The Commission on Horse-Breeding continued its inquiries in Dublin Castle last week.Lord Rathdonnell presided.Mr.Robert M\u2018Kinley stated that in Done- gal the farmers wanted a stronger horse than the hackney to breed from.Three- fourths of the stallions in his neighborhood should be done away with.The mares deteriorated immensely in the last ten years.The farmers did not like to breed from a thoroughbred horse, because the progeny was too light for their work.The Royal Dublin Society\u2019s scheme in Donegal had been a failure.Mr.J.Galbraith, Londonderry, said that the scheme of the Congested Districts Board had been of great good to small farmers.If there was to be Government aid £5,000 would be a mere drop in the bucket to spend in Ireland in horse-breeding.Ten times as much was spent in other countries.Mr.Cradock said that the hackney stock of the Congested Districts Board stallions was a failure in Mayo, Good mares ought to be given free to farmers, who should be bound to keep them and their stock for two years.They should also have good sires provided.The moving bog in East Kerry continues to occasion great anxiety to the residents along the entire valley from Rathmore to Killarney.There was heavy rain on Sunday, and portions of bog continued to come away.They caused no further damage, but the feeling of unrest in the minds of the peasantry was increased.The people residing along the valley do not remain in their dwellings at night, but lodge with those resident on the higher ground, so much ds they fear being overwhelmed by the moving mountain, as they call the shifting bog.Great damage has been caused in the counties of Roscommon and Westmeath by recent floods on the Shannon, especially in the district about Golden Island.The property is in the hands of the Incorporated Law Society, who refused reductions of rent at last gale-day.The people are for the present obliged to journey by boat to Athlone.Tn Coolnamollagh, the next district, the position of affairs is the same.Large tracts of land abutting on the Shannon -in Limerick and Clare counties are also inundated.A number of Catholic peers and other laymen interested in University education have held a meeting at the Catholic University Club, Dublin, at which the declaration made in 1870 was renewed.Tt states that perfect religious equality in all educational advantages afforded by the State; that a large number of Irishmen are at present preclnded from the enjoyment of University education, honors, and emoluments on account of conscientious religious opinions regarding the existing systems of education; \u2018that we therefore such a change in the system of collegiate and University education as will place those who entertain these conscientious objections on a footing of equality with the rest of their fellow-countrymen as regards colleges, University honors and emoluments, University examination, government, and representation.\u201d The following New Year honors were conferred by Ier Majestv through the Lord

Journal, A demand The title of the lecture was \u2018Angels and Demons.\u201d Mr.Dawson commenced by a dissertation upon the former.His study of the Scriptures had led him to the con- lon that angels were the spirits of the departed, and not, as some people supposed, a different species of beings created by the Almighty with -different attributes to ent ends.lie believed that the higher de velopment\u2014evolution\u2014of the human be: ing after death produced the angel, and ç .these matters by Divine authority, or the absolute reality of the mani in support of this theory he quoted several passages from the Old and New Testament alike in which \u2018*\u2018apparitions\u201d were alternately described as \u2018\u2018angels\u201d and as \u201cmen.\u201d The vision which appeared to Manoah (Judges, chap.13.) is twelve times referred to as an \u201cangel\u201d and four times as a \u2018man of God.\u201d Likewise, in Daniel ix., 11, the Angel Gabriel is referred to as \u201cthe man Gabriel,\u201d These disembodied spirits, or angels, he described as having the power to make themselves scen and heard of men, and to act in ways impossible to conceive of ex: cept in a being whose existence was abso: lutely spiritual; as for instance the angel-man which appeared to Manoah, and after fulfilling its mission \u201cwent up in the flame of the altar.\u201d Mr.Dawson also instanced many of the miracles recorded in the Bible, such as the handwriting on the wall at Belshaz zar\u2019s feast, the protection of Daniel while in the lions\u2019 den when \u201can angel of the Lord closed the lions\u2019 mouths,\u201d as feats that could only have been possible ta spiritual beings; and these beings, he declared his belief to be, were the spirits of departed men and women, who were cf God and with God, and who acted in at least permission directly given.Mr.Dawson then took uv the subject ot demons.Modern psychical research, he said, had done much towards clucidating the mystery surrounding the subject, and tended to confirm the belief, in higgnind, in tations recorded by the evangelists, especially where it is recorded that our Lord himself upon occasions \u201ccast out devils.\u201d The lecturer quoted at length several authorities as to the actual meaning of the word demon, naming among others, Josephus, Maximus Tyrius, Lucianuy, Euripi ded, Plato, and in modern times Arch: bishop Whateley and the famous Dr.Lard: ner.All agree in describing a demon as simply a human-spirit, either good or bad.Tho lecturer arrived at the conclusion that there was actually no difference betwzen an angel and a demon, although it might be desirable in modern times, when pre cision was one of the first requisites of language, to call a good angel or demon an angel, and a bad angel or demon a demon or devil.The point, however, which he especially desired to make clear was that angels, or demons, were both the spirits of departed humand beings in vary ing degrees of development; that their powers for good and evil varied in pro portion to their development; that the higher the plane of evolution to which \u201cthey had attained the nearer they re sembled the Almighty in his divine attri butes, and the less fallible they became.Although the thought was not actually expressed in so many words by the lec turer, yet he would undoubtedly reco;nize that these theories, if bordering on the truth and acceptable as such, must inevi \"tably lend à new and deeper meaning to \u2018the belief that God has made man in 1lis own image.And, indeed, the whole be lief lends a more solemn and sacred significance to life; makes us each, one and all, more deeply responsible, and more directly responsible to the Almighty himself for our sins of omission as well as of commis: sion.These theories would, in effect, add to the sacredness of life, and make even more desirable than ever the unity of man, his brotherhood and his equal relationship to God, and his equal heritage in the universe.It would tend to broaden our conceptions of life, of God and of each other, and make us realize that we are for all time, possessors of eternity and teranta of limitless space, with a never ending experience before us, rich in possi bilities of glory, knowledge, love, happi- nese and usefulness.Mr, Dawson concluded his very interest ing lecture with the explanation that his theory admitted that a large scope for spiritual development is granted to us even while in the flesh; that the better use we made of our opportunities on earth to develop the good, useful, charitable and loving, as well as our other mental characteristics, the better equipped shall we find ouiselves when we have crossed the \u201cborderland\u201d to continue our onward progress towards the perfection of the Almighty.Me said that the question as to whether we should Le angels or demons in the next world depended very largely upon our conduct in this life, and he solemnly exhorted ail who desired to be &n- gels after death to begin right away by tiving to Le angels on earth.During the debate which followed, many diverse opinions were expressed, and one or two of the audience, largely misconstruing the tendency of the lecture, expressed dissatisfaction with the tenor of the Jec- turer's remarks.The chairman, howevr, extended his protection to the.lecturer, as he had expressed honest conviction in considerate language and without attack or offence to anyone, though, later on, joining in the debate as an individual, the chairman very freely criticised many points in the lecture.- At the close the lecturer was accorded a very hearty vote of thanks, as also was Miss Wilshire, who sang in her usual et- fective style Cardinal Newman\u2019s beautiful hymn, \u201cLead, kindly light.\u201d Next Sunday afternoon Mr.Roswell Fisher, M.A., will deliver a lecture on \u201cThe Home of To-Day, versus the Home of To-morrow.\u201d This lecture will undoubtedly prove an intellectual treat to the large number of persons interested in rociologi- cal questions, and provision will be made to scat a large crowd.\u2014\u2014\u2014 CITY SUBSCRIBERS.How

Mr.John Fulton, of Cote des Neiges, has received a letter from Mr.Theodore Napier, Edinburgh, asking him to act in Canada as honorary secretary for a petition to the Queen praying that the term \u201cBritain\u201d be substituted for that of \u201cEngland\u201d in all official documents where the sense is Imperial as oppose dto national, This petition is being signed by Scotsmen and their descendants only throughout the world, and a certain local significance attaches to it from the fact that the framer of the petition is the Hon.T.D.Wan- less, M.L.C., of Ballarat, Australia, a relation of Dr.Wanless, of this city, A copy of the petition has been left in The Herald counting room, where it may be seen and signed by those interested.\u2018The petition is a lengthy one, and is based on the first article of the treaty of union entered into on May 1st, 1707: \u201cThat the two kingdoms of Scotland and Kngland shall from that date, and for ever after, be united into one kingdom by the name of Great Britain.\u201d This stipulation, it is stated, was intended to protect the national honor of Scotland, and without it the treaty would never have been signed.In proof of this is cited the remonstrance of the barons, in the name of thé people, to the Pope in 1320, expressing their determination to maintain the national honor and rights of Scotland at all costs, \u2018\u2018so long as a hundred remained alive.\u201d At first the stipulation was almost uriversally observed, but it is pointed out that the international courtesy and fairness which dictated this have disappeared, and that the article of the treaty has been treated by the English people and public men with very great indifference.The continued use of the terms \u201cEngland\u201d and \u201cEnglish\u201d is characterised as a direct aggression on the national honor of Scotland, as implying that Scotland is simply a province of England, and that Scotsmen are subjects of England.So far had the evil gone that in foreign treaties the terms # Plated-Ware.Cutlery, By Bne & Donne ir.AUCTION SALE \u2014or-\u2014 Elegant and Massive Household Furniture.New and Heautiful Designs in

passed without bringing a chatty visit from one of their distinguished lady friends.It was while \u201cTully\u201d was being produced for his royal patron that he was introduced by Edward to the beautiful favorite, Jane Shore \u2014she from whom, the old London tradition says, Shoreditch raceived its name-\u2014she who, worn out with agonizing poverty and hunger, and discarded by the King, died misel ably in a ditch in this thoroughfare.Yet the tale is wholly erroneous, for it is well known that the Jane Shore of real history survived Edward by 80 years, and died at a ripe old age in a religious house.Her penance at St.Yaul's, mali- clously ordered by Richard IIL, is alluded to by Michael Drayton.In spite of this order, which extended to the robbing of her house as wel), poverty was averted by the care of the Marquis of Dorset.In the reign of Henry VIII, Sir Thomas More distinctly asserts that she was thea alive, and seems to imply that he himself had seen her.The Name of Shoreditch, Shoreditch, as a matter of fact, real: t ly took its name froin the old family of tlie Soerdiches, who were lords of the manor in the time of Edward III Stowe mentions a house at Hackney which was probably the old mansion of Six John Socrdiche, who was one of the brothers-in-arms with the Black Prince.Richard's Figure.From Edward IV.to Richard III.is but a step, for did not the latter strangle the intervening kingship at its birth?Rightly or wrongly, the verdict of posterity favors an affir mative, and the question remains a mystery still.But there is no secret as to Richard's personal appearance, Me may Lave been a monster of ini- auity, as Sir Thos.Moore and other Tudor partisans describe him\u2014yet no worse than his brother, and certainly less unscrupulous than his succes.sor\u2014and in comscquence, to call him \u201cugly\u201d and a \u201chunchback,\u201d because Shakespeare does, Is to indulge ip an idle exercise of the imagination.However, truth has it that besides possessing great muscular strength, & pleasant, if not handsome face, and desperate courage, he had the perfect figure of a soldier.Libels on Queen Mary.This leads us to question another epithet: whether \u201cBloody\u201d Queen Mary deserves so strong a symbol: ism.We should think not, and that historical color-blindness could hardly have shown a greater want of discrimination, as the evils with which popular opinion has stained her character were really perpetrated through the investigations and under the direction of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Cardinal Pole, and the Spanish Court, then residing in England after the marriage between Mary and Philip of Spain.And further, with the knowledge that the full extent of the sanguinary persecutions of her short reign were hardly known to her\u2014for during a great part of the time she was In a state of deep depression and inactivity, owing to mental and bodily health\u2014and that by no means has it been proved that her disposition was cruel and harsh, it will be recognized that there is more than a mere difference of tint between her character and the Archbishop's, and that he alone, if anybody, should in Strictness bear the dishonorable distinction.He Was Not Columbus.There is also some misunderstand- Ing associated with the name of the Great Discoverer, whose death, in abject poverty, occurred about 50 years before the Marian persecutions.Columbus Was not his paternal name any more than \u201cP\u2019laniage- not\u201d would have been of the first King of this so-calied line had we have known him by no other.It was only a borrowed title\u2014a sea term that covered up some early mystery of his birth.name acquired from two pir corsairs, father ang son, the merchants whom they chased as the Columbii, from their flag, which depicted a dove, colombo.The great Columbus sailed under their flag, claimed them as hig rel tives, and fought and them on the high scas.was the terror inspireq by the merciless sea-rovers, that the very alone wns a guarantee of non-resist.ance, How unlikely, then, of a less famous world would use which Columbus himself has always Preserved silence.The Hgg Trick Fallacy.Here It may be mentioned that notwithstanding the story of Columbns which he 1s sald to have viudicatel $0 hiwself tue originality of disc one- called Shoreditch Place, ery, it was not the great Genoese who made the egg to stand on end to confute his opponents, but Brun- ellerchi, the architect, to silence cri- ties who asked him how he was going to support the dome of the Cathedral of Florence.About the Armeda.Through the vagaries of events, Columbus attracts one to the Armada.Without him there would be no Cortes, no Pizarro, and hence no treasure to prepare the Armada; for, after the last Moorish bulwark had been broken down at Grenada, Spanish wealth, under Moorish splendor, the most effectual in Europe, was fast declining until] tempor arily revived by the profits of Mexican and Peruvian adventure.We all know that the Armada\u2019s failure was due to a great storm, because for three centuries the fail ure has been thus represented.The legend struck off at the time was: \u2018\u201cFlavit Deus et Dissipati sunt.\u201d From a religious point of view such à representation is childish, from the historical it is false.The Spanish fleet bad already sustained a crushing defeat from the English, in which many ships and men were lost before it was over taken by storms in the Northern seas.- That fleet was, in the first place, badly commanded; in the sce- ond place, badly equipped.The best English seamen did not belicve in the Spanish vessels, which wore over-masted and leaking.As a matter of fact, by August 4th five of the most important Spanish ships had not a drop of water, very little food, and many sick men.It is doubtful whether 120 Spanish ships of all sizes came into the Channel, while the total number »f Spanish fighting men was not more than 10,000 or 12,000 (Green\u2019s History says: \u201cSpain had 149 ships and 28,000 men.) On the other hand England had 197 ships and about 18,000 men (Green says: \u201cOnly S0 ships and 9,- 000 men\u2019) The English sailors also were accustomed to the great open seas, while the Spaniards were mainly fair weather seamen.Thus, it will be seen that the defeat of the Armada was due, not to storms, still less to Divine favoritism, but to the simple fact that England had the better navy.The Spanish Armada.Touching a greater muddle in this connection, it was neither Queen Mary of Scots\u2019 transference of her interest in the English succession to Philip, for this was made after the Armada had been projected, nor the pressing need of destroying Protestantism, nor Elizabeth's refusal to marry Philip\u2014cach of which, taken from a pile of text-books, is candid- Ir said to be the cause\u2014that begat \u201cCastile's black fleet.\u201d To realize the contradiction more clearly, we must understand that the Anglo-Spanish conflict began several years before the Armada appeared, and also that its Immediate cause was not the dislike of the Inquisition, but the dread of a hostile power establishing itself in the seaports of the Netherlands, and -the }.\u2018special fear by English statesmen that France would join Spain in making the attempt, in wnich case the history of British progress might have been considerably delayed.An English army was, therefore, sent there, and miserably failed; but the English fleet swept the Spanish West Indies\u2014where \u201can exclusive commercial policy, adopted and enforced by the Spanish Government,\u201d led Wawking, Drake and others into smuggling and bloody reprisals \u2014 and it was this naval successf which determined Philip on the expedition of the Armada.During the alarm of the Spanish invasion the command of the land forces was intrusted to the Earl of to obtain the favor of his peers in proposing marriage with the Queen, and who In the interests of which project is supposed to have pro ured the murder of his wife, Amy Eopy- sart.MERRY SKATERS Fill Bix Rinks at Arnprior, but They All Make Money\u2014 Donations to Curlers Arnprior, Jan.22.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The skating public are

the Board of Trade Banquet.Brantford, Jan.22.\u2014At the banquet given by the Board of Trade lust evening the toast of the \u201cMineral Resources 01 Canada\u201d was responded to by Mr.Bogle, of Iossland, B.C.The toast excited uni versal interest.The respondent was referred to by Vice-Chairman Mann as a \u201cpractical man right from the seat of war.\u201d Mr.Bogle characterized the mineral resources ot the country as \u2018Canada's brightest hope.\u201d West Kootenay, from which he hailed, was not an agricultural country.SIX years ago, when he went into thai country, no ore was shipped, save a few experimental shipments of ore packed on mule back.At that time they lived on ex pectations, but now the country was pros perous and growing rapidly.Now thero were six lines of railways, eleven towns, | stamp mills, and busy mines.At the pre sent day he believed he was not beside the mark in saying that they shipped from the Slocan camp, 100 tons of ore, worth $100 per ton, each day.Of this thirty or forty per cent.is going into Canadian channels of trade, and yet not one-fiftieth of the resources had been developed.Then regarding his own peculiar country\u2014the Trail district and Rossland camp\u2014they were shipping to the smelter each day 200 tons of ore worth at least 830 per ton, most of which was treated on Canadian soil, thereby adding greatly to the country\u2019s development.listimates of the future were generally thought to be overdrawn, but his special point was, mining was Canada\u2019s \u2014eastern as well as western\u2014brightest hope, as it offered inducement to young Canadins to look west instead of south.prosperous mining country was an admirable thing for development of trade in every branch.The gold de posits of the country were making Canada popular all over the world\u2014 (Ap plause.) The French engineers, sent out by the French Government, left not only satisfied but investors.(Applause.) In closing he wished to impress that great opportunities brought out great responsibilities.They had difficulty in sccuring proper representation, and it was for citizens to secure a good foundation for the future prosperity of that country.What they wanted was cheap | transportation and cheap fuel.Competition was required in transportation, and westerners looked to the east to provide for this.KINGSTON NOTHS.Kingston, Ont., Jan.22 \u2014(Fpecial.)\u2014 The Richelieu and Ontario Navigation Company has decided to place the steamer Columbian on the Colborne, Cobourg, Port Hope and Toronto route next season as an excursion boat, the excursion business done last season war ranting this action.; Nominations were held at Portsmouth Thursday to fill the vacancies in the Council caused by the disqualification of three members clected on January 4th.The candidates proposed were Messrs.Thomas McCammon, Robert Stones, Richard Graham, Richard Baiden, Alfred Simmons end Thomas Howard.All go to the polis en January 25th.\u2018 The preliminary drawings for positions in the Central Ontario Curling Association's bonspiel are :\u2014Arnprior vs.Perth, Carleton Place vs.Kingston, Rockwoods v3.Almonte, Pembroke vs.Rideau Clubs, of Ottawa.The bonspiel takes place at Arnprior on February 16th and 17th.Rev.Mr.Wickwire, who conducted revival services at Wilton, has gone to New Yerk, where he will spend a couple of months training for mission work, and at the close of his course he will go to South Africa under the auspices of the Christian Alliance.A letter received from Lieut.-Col.Dutt in Toronto as a member of the commission investigating the Queen\u2019s Own trouble, states that the investigation will not be concluded until Saturday next.A recount occurred at the Courthouse to-day as to the candidate-elect as commissioner for No.1 division.Mr.George Marsh, the sitting member bv one vote, had his majority increased to three.Prussia has bad, including the present king, who is also German emperor, seven kings.The royal house of Hohenzollern was established by Frederick William of Brandenburg in 1701.Vig - +HeBoR+BoNoBeBoloBoEBoBE-BoHeReH+HeHeRoQeAHB all in copper ore.on the market.M R BOG LE AT B RA NT FO R D | EEE RE EE E+E BoB oo RoR Bo No Hole \u2018\u2018I have great confidence in Copper,\u201d the builder of the Trail Smelter and the railway from Robson to Trail.THE VICTORY-TRIUMPH is the greatest Gold and Copper Ore Mine of which the sjock has ever been offered to the Canadian public.The tunnel in the Victory is now 80 feet, and the breast The shaft of the Triumph is down thirty feet.The ore at bottom assays 25 per cent.copper and £4.00 in gold per ton., .Treasury stock for machinery and development now Buy and hold it for ONE DOLLAR.Agent, JAMES B.CAMPBELL, 505 Board of Trade Building, Montreal.EEE EHR EN EEE Ho He Ho Bo Ho Ho H+ BeBe BeBe Ro B+ H+ B+ 1897: + «.Soesays F.A.Henze, ® + « » » a ee + À MoN No + Bello BeRoeNoeRBoBoeBeReRBoNeBeNl Province of Quebec, Munici ality of the County of Soulanges.Thursday, the fourth day for the Municipal and hax +.Mamieipal Coun of the month of Mareh next, at ten o'clock School As-essments ond charges due hereinalter mentioned, unless the same be paid, with costs, before the sale: OFFICE OF THE ell of the Connty of Soulances PUBLIC NOTICE.Is hereby given that the lands and tenements hereinafter mentioned will be sold according to the provisions of the Municipal Code of the I'rovince of Quechee and amendments, at the Office of this Council, its of Coteau Landing, on in the forenoon, to the municipalities at the village (True Copy) Becretary-Treasurer of the Municipal Council of the County Name of .Official Number of | Amount the Municipality.Owner.Occupation.the Cadastre.due.Parish of St, Teles-|Joseph Deslages.Carpenter .[Part of No, 208.$2.05 phore.Emery Tauvette.|Laborer.,.Part of No.25a.1.39 .Fabien Marleau.Pedlur.[No.207.11.09 Village of Coteau Landing .Joseph Gauthier.iLaborer .Part of No.78.3.7 Coteau Landing, this 7th day of January, 1807.(Signed) JOSEPH STEVENS, af Soulanges.JOSEPH STEVENS, Secretary-Treasurer of the Municipal Councll of the County of Soulunges.An Unforgotten Kiss.The rain is rattling on the pane, the wind is sweeping by.Now with discordant shriek, melancholy cry.A lonely man, I sit and read beside the dying fire, The daily tale of love and crime, of greed and vain desire.anon with The letters Llur and fade, the room grows dim and disappears, And in its siead old scenes come back across the waste of ycars; And set in frame of golden hair a fair young face I see, Whose two soft eyes of deepest blue lnok wistfully on me.Once on a memorable eve, when heart and hope were young, Those luminous eyes upon my life a sudden glory flung; As she was then, I see her now, my youug, my only choice.The Drightness on her sunny brow, the music In her voice., One question, and but one I ask, then for an answer wait; My very heart is motionless, expectant of its fate!

C7 It might be well to remember Jee the Treuch-Cu nave iffreriteä from old France along with their other qualities and faults a strong passion for theoretical and dogmatical discussions.For that reason the point of orthodoxy is continually cropping up in controversies, political as well as religicus, concerning questions which appear very matter-of-fact to the practical mind of a Briton.Excommunications are thrown right and left much more often by politicians than by the bishops.To outsiders the impression may be conveyed that the argument of religion is all powerful with the people since it is used so frequently.But no student of history can ignore the fact that in old and in new France the prerogatives of the civil power were jealously guarded against the encroachments of the Church.It was France that created a code of law which provided for appeal to civil tribunals from the abuse of the ccclesiasti- cal authorities.The correspondence of the French Governors with the Court of Versailles shows what precautions were then taken to prevent the clergy from gaining undue ascendency.The people themselves when occasion arose fought the priests with a spirit of which those who are not familiar with the details of French-Cana- dian history do not dream.After the British conquest the clergy was the only educated class which re- Its intellectual superiority, its claims to grati- mained with the abandoned settlers.tude no doubt gave it great influence, but that influence was maintained much more by diplomacy than by the use of spiritual authority.The clergy was for British connection, and the people went with it, because it was right.The clergy opposed the rebellion of 1837, but Papineau him- evif said it was ill-timed and unfortunate.After the Unian the clergy fought the old wuge party, and the Rouge party remained in a hopeless minority.But it was not so much the clergy as the fact that the practical men, the men who com- riai:ded Protestant support, were on the other side.This kept the Rouges in opposition.The public men who make a practice of trading on religion, who depend on clerical influence, have never at- toned great popularity, even among the Conservatives.On the school question the ciergy failed to infuence Cartier in 1872 es it has failed to influence Laurier.In fact, the clergy in politics may be said to wield about the same influence in Quebec that the lodges do in Ontario.1t wins when it is on the side of the heavy battalions.But the French-Canadian, clected or clector, may be counted upon al- Ways to insist upon his right to think in base À political matters.He hates the idea of a Government of cures as much as the modern Frenchman does.When the law is violated he does not hesitate to resort to the courts, as in the Champlain election case.Our French-Canadian fellow-citizens \u2014let our friends in Ontario believe\u2014may be trusted to settle any difficulties which they may have with their clergy.They are bound to their Church by feelings of gratitude as well as by faith, and outside interference is very likely to be misunderstood.But past and present alike point convincingly to the fact that the outcome of these difficulties, and those wbich will arise again and again in the future before the relations between Church and State are arranged upon a permanent basis, will not be in any degree a compromise of our political institutions ror a surrender of free political thinking, but an enlargement and more secure establishment of them.AN ADMIRABLH POLICY.The Premier's speech at the Mayor's banquet on Thursday night left no room for doubt as to his opinions in the matter of reciprocity, and his opinions leave no room for cavil.The trade of the Western States, he said, should be secured for Montreal; the relations of Canada and the United States as a whole should be more friendly than they are now.But he wished it to be distinctly understood that he could not consent to friendliness with the States if it should involve hostility to England.Canadians desired better trade relations with their neighbors to the South, \u201cbut if it is expected in the United States or anywhere else that the price we shall have to pay means any hostility to England, we shall have none of it.\u201d Canadians are colonials, he said, but \u201cthough we admit that we are colonials, we do not admit that the sun in its course shines on a freer country than Canada.We are colonials because we are free to be a colony.And, speaking as I am to business men, I say we are a colony because we have a feeling of gratitude in our hearts for the great country which has protected our liberties.It is with these sentiments that I would wish to approach the Government of the United States.If it is my privilege to go to the United States to speak of better trade relations between Canada and that country, I will say: \u201cWe come here not as suppliants, not in any hostile spirit to the land to which we owe allegiance, but we come here as free men to talk to free men, and if you will accept a treaty on this basis let us negotiate; but if you expect that we come here to stab the country to which we belong, we tell you that we shall do nothing of the kind.We will ever be true to our allegiance.\u201d I do further believe that when we approach the United States in that spirit, in no cringing spirit, in no other spirit but in that of self- respect and dignity, we shall succeed, and if we fail we shall get on by ourselves,\u201d What could be clearer, what more admirable than this?If reciprocity be obtained on these terms, the people of Canada will owe Mr.Laurier\u2019s Government a debt of gratitude.If it is not to be had on terms in keeping with the dignity of the Dominion and conducive to the maintenace of the closest union and the closest.sympathy between Canada and the Mother Country it will not be had at all.Mr.Laurier\u2019s utterance in this regard should serve to dispel the silly suspicion lest his Government in its desire for improved commercial relations with the United States might forget the allegiance that Canada owes the Mother Land.As a matter of business a sincere attempt to improve the commercial relations of the Dominion and the Republic should be made by the Canadian Government.Should such an attempt be made and should it fail, the people of Canada need no longer reproach themselves.Nor, as Mr.Laurier suggests, need they pause for a day in the working out of their own commercial destiny.DISSOLUTION.Death is the \u201cfull stop\u201d in the punctuation of life.Sickness may be its \u201csemicolon,\u201d losses and defeats its \u2018\u2018 phrases,\u201d and all the petly checks that personal vanity or comfort receives, its \u2018\u201c\u201ccommas.\u201d But death is its \u201cperiod.\u201d There are few civilized minds that do not experience a kind of mental pause when they hear of death.It may be of some friend, or some unknown person that they only casually hear of, but the shock occasioned is create: by no other fact.It is not necessarily caused by fear.Many people face the prospect of death with great courage.It may even be that under peculiar circumstances the death itself may be the keynote of a great relief for some one.But that is reaction.The fact remains that death itself causes in the mind.a peculiar emotion that may be likened to a pause.Nothing else creates it.Of course we are brought into contact with death under different circumstances.We have a relative interest in the accidents and misfortunes that cost life far and near to people unknown or known only by sight, or on mere acquaintance.We have a more material interest in the death of friends, or business people or ncighbors, with whom we are in continual contact; we have a positive and sympathetic interest in the dissolution of those of our immediate circle of blood relatives, and of course a personal interest in our own departure.There is design here.Take the sceptic into thie chamber.Show him the body from which not only physical life has departed, but all the play of mental grace, of genius, of talent, of creative, administrative and executive energy, have fled, and ask him what it means.Is it the end?It may be that the possibilities of physical life are untested, or in full operation, or the wane, but who has cut the cords of life and interposed the goal as it were in the very progress of its race?It may be the life is unlived, unrecom- pensed or uncondemned.At any period it is the physical tenement that is weak, it is the strings of nature that are unfit for the harmonies of the soul to be heard vi: brating them, the soul itself is as vigorous when it comes in as when it goes out, though its manifestations follow the limita tions of the physical nature.Nature is beautiful.It contains thous ands of created graces that have their uses and possibilities in the design of life, but the intangible soul that illuminates it is far more beautiful, and the idea that it ends with the life through which it is made manifest is one from which the mind revolts; and which few hold.Those who hold it do not do so as the result of natu ral instinct; it is contrary to instinct; but as the result of some peculiarity in the mind which seems to reflect that view from certain hypotheses suggested by a perverted or a one-sided plunge into the spring of education.When death punctuates our existence, it causes a shock that makes us pause.The shock is more or less evanescent, but it always comes, and it seems as though it were the starting point from which simul taneously springs the hope that death is not the end of the human race.In the physical theory of the conservation of energy, the idea is that emotion communicated to any sense, runs along the nerve till it reaches a ganglion or nerve centre, from which it speeds on with renewed force, the nervous vibration serving to create new energy.In this way the mental emotion caused by death stimulates and builds anew certain other emotions, and it cannot be denied that the strongest of them is the emotion of hope that it is not the end.Ask, then, the sceptic who says \u201cthere is no proof\u201d how it is that the grace of hope in future life is always more vividly connected with death than with anything else, not merely occasionally, but always and in all races?It is not a super- stition\u2014it is a mental fact.Take the hopeless grief over a dead pet, where there is no evidence of a higher nature to lead to any belief that it has not definitely ended its career here and hereafter.It mey not be so intense, but it is different in its nature, and its hopelessness adds much to its poignancy.Christ says \u201cI am the resurrection and the life.\u201d He never speaks of death as divorced from the hope of resurrection.What will be done with the vast dead in resurrection, what form they will assume, or what relationships or functions they will have, are all phenomena no more within the possibilities of our limited vision to discover than the origin of life itself.But no one yet who believed in Christ as the link uniting divinity and humanity, as the impersonation of God and the pattern of man, has ever tried to belittle or destroy the hope to those standing beside the brink of dissolution that merely a change in condition was taking place, unfolding a fresh career to which life has been the directing prologue.-\u2014 \u2014\u2014\u2014 Mr.Flynn tells his friends of the Club Cartier that the signal for battle will be soon given.He warns his supporters that they cannot afford to delay their preparations for the general elections.To his opponents also the warning is good.The Opposition in the Legislature has marked out admirable fighting ground and in the Province at large, the opponents of the Government should have no difficulty in holding their own in the argument that counts for so much at election times.But something more than argument is required.A thorough organization, capable of bringing to the polls every vote against the taxers, that may be won by legitimate means is necessary to that triumph which Mr.Marchand and the cause that he represents desire to win.In this direction much has already been done.In local organization, however, much remains to be accomplished.Liberals in the several constituencies need not wait for the signal to battle.They should begin to get ready for the fight now.Mr.P.J.Ryan, President of the Central Trades and Labor Council has addressed to the press a letter repudiating all persons who, in the interest of some one or other of the political parties in the Province may canvass subscriptions for the assistance of unemployed and destitute workingmen in Montreal.Mr.Ryan points out that the Trades and Labor Council is the central labor organi zation for the city, that it enjoys the re cognition of all subordinate labor organi vations that it is well informed as to the necessities of the workingmen of the city, but that it is not in the habit of taking such steps as are taken by the lahor \u201cfakers\u201d whom Mr, Ryan condemns.Mr.Ryan adds that when it canvasses for assistance, its agents will be provided with certificates.The warning is timely.The soup kitchen and charity subscription \u201cfaker\u201d has been hitherto a force in politics in Montreal.A correspondent of the Manchester Guardian writes of the beneficial effects, in many different directions, of the free- trade policy lately adopted in New South Wales.The shipping trade of Sydney has expanded with great rapidity, and the wages of the men employed in this industry have been put back to the rates in force before the long commercial depression.Farming has picked up, and the railway returns show a substantial improvement in general business.The adjoining colony of Victoria is watching the experiment with interest, and alrcady a movement is on foot at least to make Melbourne a free port, lest its commercial supremacy should pass to Sydney, .Latest despatches from London impart a most encouraging aspect to the case of Hon.G.A.Kirkpatrick.Canadians will rejoice to hear that he is so far recovered from the effects of his illness and operation as to be looking forwrad to an early convalescence.Oi the 274,840 Hungarian gypsies enumerated in the last census 243,432 are described as sedentary, 20,406 as semi-seden- tary, and only 8,938 as nomadic, while 2,164 are either soldiers or in gaol.All profess some form of Christianity and 17,000 are professional musicians.THE HERALD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1897 A MATTER OF SLEEP, The Light Variety and the Noises of a City.SOME QUEER INSTANCES Of Standing Great Noises and Awaking at Little.The Telegraph Operator, the Locomotive and the Ticker\u2014Narrow Escape From Disaster.(Written for The Herald.) Outside of the weather as a subject for conversation\u2014which is universally admitted to be the most prolific, especially among peo- | ple «i northern and exceedingly changeable climes\u2014one\u2019s sleeping propensities come in | order of importance, and it is likely that | two or more people, when they gather to- | gether with a litle spare time on their hands, will commence to tell each other : what a very light or eound sleeper they | are, as the case may be.| In the case of the light sleeper, he likes to pour out his woe, telling how he envies the man who can sleep his seven or eight hours \u2018\u2018without turning a hair.\u201d The good sleeper is usually proud of his ability, and sympathizes most sincerely with his unfortunate brother.The newspaper man, who is compelled to turn day into night for sleeping purposes, if he happens to be a poor sleeper, can unfold his troubles in a manner that would touch the most stony- hearted sound sleeper.The multitudinous noises of a great city are the arch enemy of a man who is compelled to sleep in the day time\u2014and there are thousands of them.It may be any kind of an agitation, from a neighbor's upright at the mercy of sweet sixteen, to a Scotch cart driven by a fiend incarnate; or anything from the clang and rattle of a motor car to the wails of a teething infant next door, but they all get in their work on the unfortunate light sleeper.How I envy the man who can tumble into a railway sleeping-car berth and slumber peacefully until \u201cthe autocrat of the Pullman\u201d calls breakfast, or the near approach to one\u2019s destination; and how comforting it is not to mind a bit having to sleep in a strange bed in a hotel.All these delights are unknown to the light sleeper and it is no wonder that he likes to unburden himself sometimes.One of my best friends is a man who spent his younger days as a telegraph operator and train despatcher.He is not in the business now, and he often entertains me with interesting bits of gossip concerning his telegraphic days.He is a newspaper man, and even yet finds his proficiency at the key of good service occasionally.When there was a tornado up the Ottawa valley, not far from Montrea) some years ago\u2014the worst ever experienced in this country\u2014it was of great advantage to his paper that he was able to go out with a reporter, tap a wire which fortunately had not suffered in the general devastation and telegraph a full account of the disastrous affair to his paper, thus beating out all competitors.AN OPERATOR'S EXPERIENCE.However, that is digressing from what this article started out to refer to more particularly\u2014good and bad sleepers.This friend of mine is a great sleeper.In fact, I could scarcely credit what he told me one evening, were it not for the fact that his charming wife vouched for the authenticity of every word of his statement, and besides he is a truthful fellow himself.At one time he was located at an important railway junction, but in a rather dismal locality, and had his sleeping quarters up stairs in the station, his window being only a few feet away from the railway track.\u201cThe peculiarity about my sleeping habits,\u201d said he one day, when talking about the difficulties of sleeping in a noisy city, \u201cwas that a locomotive whistle might screech outside my window and it would not arouse me, but let my call tick gently or the telegraph instrument in the next room and I would be in an instant.Yes, it is an actual fact.When I was employed as train despatcher at a junction point in a remote part of the country, trains would stop at the station during the night for orders.Unable to get into the station sometimes the engineers would stop their throbbing iron steeds directly under my window and let the whistle go for all it was worth, but it had no more effect on me than the cooing of a dove.The tick: of the telegraph instrument, however, was another matter entirely.Should my attention be required I would be up in a minute.\u201cNo, I cannot undertake to explain how it is,\u201d was his reply when I asked if he could account for it.One could understand a person becoming accustomed to an ordinary noise, but to have a locomotive whistle let loose almost at ene\u2019s head seems a little too much to believe.Tt is, perhaps, no more wonderful than a locomotive driver going to sleep with his hand on the throttle-valve flying over the rails at the rate of thirty or forty mile® an hour.And yet such has been known to happen.In fact the last disastrous railway accident in Canada was caused by just such an incident.A HAIR-BREADTH ESCAPE._ While returning to the city a few mornings ago after investigating a murder case not more than fifty miles from Montreal, I fell in with a railway official, and in the course of our conversation he told me a stery about an experience of his own which incidentally gave another instance of the peculiarity of sleeping habits.l'or seven years the official in question had travelled on railway business on an aver age of 75,000 miles annually.He was in only one smash-up in all that time, \u201cbut,\u201d said he, \u201cthere are lots of narrow escapes which never reach the ear of the genera! public,\u201d and he proceeded to relate one of his experiences of that nature.\u201cI was on an express bound for Montreal, but as the train going in an opposite direction was late they did not cross at the usual junction point.In order that the train which was on time should not be detained, the train despatcher telegraphed to a little station some miles up the line, at which through trains do not usually stop, to hold the down express, provided she had not already passed, until the arrival of the up train.The way sta tion operator promptly wired back that the express had not yet passed, and he had set the signals according to orders.\u201cNow it so happened that the down ex press had passed the station, but the unfortunate operator did not know it.it was afterwards explained in this way.After doing his regular shift during the day the operator had allowed his night assistant to go off to a country dance with his best girl, and was accordingly doing duty.Tired after the exertions of the day he went gently to sleep, and when the express.went thundering past the station with a mighty roar it did not disturly his slumbers in the least.Many people have stood on the platform of a country station when | a through express has passed, and they will have very little trouble in recollecting what a frightful dip the hissing and throbbing mass made as it went crushing along the two lines of rails.Imagine yourself sleeping through the noise attendant upon such an incident.But that 18 just exactly what the operator did, but when the little instrument In his office ticked off the important question regard: ing the train, be was all attention in a moment and unfortunately gave an answer that came within an ace of sacrificing many lives and destroying valuable pro \u201cIn the meantime,\u201d continued the ar- | rator.\u2018the train on which I considered myself secure was hurrying on to what | seemed almost certain doom.Anxious not to make the late train any later, the en: gineer of our train was urging his steed | forward to its utmost capacity.The en- | gineer of the tardy express, anxious not to detain the other train at the usual junction, was letting his engine out to full | speed.It seemed as though only a miracle | could save the two trains from an awful crash.1 was in my sleeping berth, and heard the sudden grinding of the air brakes beneath the car floor, and from my experience as a railway man I realiz ed in a moment that something was radu.cally wrong.I jumped out and hastily pulled on some of my clothes.By that time the train had come to a dead stop, and I walked out to see what the trouble was.It was a clear, moonlight summer night, and about the first thing I saw was tlie engineers of the two trains shaking hands at the pilots of the two locomotives, which were about two feet apart.They were congratulating each other on their narrow escape.Luckily they approached each other on a long straight piece of track, and were able to take warning and stop just in the nick of time.\u201cWhat about the sleeping operator?Oh, he didn\u2019t wait for an investigation.The dewn train had to back up to his station to effect a crossing, and he promptly wired his resignation to the chief train de- spatcher.Very few of the people on the train knew what a narrow escape they had had from death, and still less did the affair come to the ears of the general public.\u201d rer SLAVES I CAMA Dinah, a Kingston Slave, and Her Indenture, A Curious and Historically Interesting Document\u2014The Value of a Slave'\u2019s Services.(Kingston, Ont., Whig.) The conditions of life in civilized countries have changed to such a great extent since the beginning of the present century that could $he spirits of our forefathers revisit the scenes of their earthly careers they would find themselves as greatly out of place as a Hottentot wou'd be at the court of his imperial nibs, the bombastic war lord of Germany.It is not generally known that the ancient citizens of Kingston bought, sold and maintained slaves.Yet such is the fact, as an able lecture delivered by deputy-surgeon-general Neilson before the local historical society the other evening showed.Among the old docu ments examined by Dr.Neilson while making his researches on the subject of the lecture was one, the text of which is given below, and which is as curious on account of its character, as it is valuable on account of its age and historical importance.It read as follows: \u201cThis indenture, made this 27th day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred ahd four, wit- nesseth that I, Dinah, a Negro woman, late of Troy, in the State of New York, but now of Kingston, in the Midland district of the Province of Upper Canada, do by these presents acknowledge myself to be the property of Winnifred Meredith, late of Troy, in the state of New York, but now of, Kingston, in the district and province aforesaid, by virtue of a bill of sale, made and executed by Elisha Adams, of Troy, aforesaid, and given to the said Winnifred Meredith; that the said Dinah, to make herself more fully and completely the indisputable property of the said Winnifred Meredith, in said province, and her heirs, forever, doth hereby of her own free and voluntary will, further certified by her \u2018signing these presents, bind herself to the said Winnifred Meredith and her heirs, forever, as a domestic servant, and with her the said Winnifred Meredith or her heirs, to dwell, continue and serve from the day of the date of these presents until the day of her death, during all of which said term she, the said Dinah, her said mistress will and faithfully shall serve, her secrets keep, her lawful commands gladly do and obey; hurt to her said mistress, or her heirs she shall not do, nor wilfully suffer to be done by others, but of the same to the utmost of her power shall notice forthwith give to ler said mistress; the goods of her said mistress she shall not embezzle, nor waste, nor them lend, without her consent, to any; at cards, dice, or any other unlawful game she shall not play; taverns, play houses nor ale houses she shall not frequent, lewdness she shall not be guilty of, from the service of her said mistress or her heirs she shall not, at any time depart, or absent herself without her or their leave, but in all things, as a good and faithful servant, shall, and will demean herself towards her said mistress and all her heirs, during the said term of her matural life.And for, and in consideration of the said covenant, promises and agreements, to be done and performed on the part of the said Dinah, she, the said Winnifred Meredith, on her part, doth covenant, promise and agree to, and with the said Dinah, for herself, her heirs, executors and administrators, to find and allow to the said Dinah meat, drink, lodging and wearing apparel fit and suitable for such a servant to wear, and all other necessaries in sickness and in health, during the said term of her natural life.And for the true performance of all and singular, the covenants, promises and agreements aforesaid, the said parties bind themselves, each unto the other, firmly by these presents.In testimony whereof, the said parties have hereunto set their hands and affixed their seals the day and date first above written.WINNIFRED MEREDITH.DINAH, X, her

water-mark the date 1801, The writing is in a neat, legible and scholarly hand, and is but very slightly faded.Dinah\u2019s seal is of white wax, that of the mistress of green wax.On the third page of the sheet is written in a hand different from that of the indenture, an assignment which reads thus : \u201cI do hereby assign all and every right and claim that I might or could have Lo the services of the within named Dinah, unto Ann Macaulay, her executors, administrators and assigns, in consideration of having received, by the consent of the within named Dinah, the sum of forty pounds, the

the services of the slave.The receipt reads as follows : \u201cReceived from Mrs.Ann Macaulay, forty pounds, Halifax currency, being the sum to be paid for my services of eight years, nine months and twenty-nine days to Mrs.Ann Macaulay, by a certain in- deriture entered into this day, which sum has been paid to Mrs.Winnifred Meredith by my desire.\u201cDINAH, X (her mark.) \u201cKingston, 1st October, 1804.\u201d What incidents in lives long since closed are hidden under these ancient documents ! What was the secret of the transference of Dinah\u2019s services by Mistress Meredith to Mistress Macaulay for the period of eight years, nine months\u2019 and twenty-nine days?Was the former a debtor to the latter to the extent of \u201cforty pounds, Halifax currency,\u201d and did she give Mistress Macaulay the services of poor Dinah for the period ngmed to discharge the debt ?Who was Qlistress Meredith?Who was Mistress Macaulay?Where did they live?When did they die?And when did poor Dinah the bond-slave end the \u201cterm of her natural life\u201d and her lifelong servitude?Did she keep unbroken the \u201ccovenants, promises and agreements\u201d specified in the indenture ?And where do the mortal remains of the slave lie !

on a Farm in Which Promptness and a Little Knowledge Saved a Boy's Life.In these days when young women are improving themselves in the direction ot higher education, I wonder that more of them do not study medicine, or, at least, nursing\u2014not as a profesion necessarily, but as an accomplishment.Every woman will probably have an opportunity to save some life (besides her own) if she only knows what to do and what not to do at some crucial moment.The day has gone when it was proper for a woman of refinement to faint at the sight of blood, go into hysterics if anyone had a broken bone, and have a headache when a member of the family was laid up with an inflammation.This gave the poor lone doctor too much to do, so the fashion had to be altered, and now the more refined and intellectual a woman is, the more steadily she keeps her head, aud the more she assists the doctor fight the accident or the disease.Yet, in spite ot the progress in this way, women are yet handicapped by lack of knowledge.There are still many who will walk a fainted woman around a room, who cannot make a bed up for a patient, who do not know bow to wring out a hot cloth or what to do for croup, It is all very well to say \u201cSend for a doctor and a nurse,\u201d but many women live out of quick reach ot either, while in travelling doctors are as scarce as policemen when you want to ask questions.Sickness and death are ever amongst us.The woman who can fight the one and smoothe the way for the other is equipped to aid her own or gomeone else\u2019s dear ones when they most need it.All women do not have the opportunity for systematic study, but earnestness and intelligent reading will teach a great deal.A pair of gray horses dashed up the lane to a farm-house.It was a winter's day, and long years ago.The old bob: sleighs were littered with pieces of bark and fresh-cut chips.The man who stood in front slapping the horses into a run with the lines, called sharply to the inmates of the house and picking up the limp figure leaning against him, staggered into the great kitchen.A trail of blood marked their way, and as he sat the poor, pale-faced young lad in a chair, it oozed out of a great gash in his cowhide boot and ran across the floor.They had been chopping in the bush, he and \u2018the fdrm hand.The young fellow\u2019s axe glanced on a sapling, and struck between his great toe and the rest, going completely through the foot, and crushing up into the instep.The village was nearly three miles away, and the boy was bleeding to death.He was terror-stricken himself, half sobbing, his face white, his hair hung in matted greasy wisps across his brow, and his eyes dilated with horror, as he looked at the poor bandaged foot.They had set it upon a chair, but the great bundle of cotton was reddening already.The old mother of the family came first to herself.She snaiched an apron from her daughter, and twisted a ligature above the wound.Some on¢ hurried for the doctor, and in the quickest possible time he came.But the tightly-bouna leg had been very painful, The lad had begged to have the bandage off.He did not understand the spurting of that bright red blood.\u201cIt\u2019s stopped a-bleedin\u2019 now, missus,\u201d he said.She bent as if to loosen it, just to calm him, but her hands fumbled about without letting the twist slip.\u201cThat saved his life,\u201d said the doctor after he had examined the poor foot.\u201cSaved his life,\u201d the words passed from lip to lip about the house.There was a glad light in the old mother\u2019s eyes, and she went on getting dinner with a quiver on her white face.Her acquaintance with books was not extensive.Her opportunities for acquiring scientific knowledge never came on earth.She gleaned this bit of wisdom from the Home Corner of the weekly newspaper, and its prompt application saved the life of a fellow-creature.MADGE MERTON.=~ = 3 = rr CoS oa rR Re pr ee.ete CORES RL) XA rl 53 7 25 ve w Co 5

Jan.23.\u2014Alfred John Emith, a well-known C.P.R.engine driver living in Carleton, was arrested early yesterday morning charged with setting fire ubout midnight to the house of his father- in-law, in which his wife, from whom he kad separated, and his only child resided.Fortunately the family discovered the fire cfore it had gained much headway.Footers Jn the snow were traced towards

Quarterly Meeting, WORK IN THE BRANCHES.Reports Are All Most Satisfactory, Although the Lack of Money is Much Complained Of.The regular] quarterly meeting of the Young Women\u2019s Christian \u2018Association was held at the Y.W.C.A, Temperance Tome, 2434 St.Catherine street, on Thursday morning last at 11 am.There was a very good attendance of ladies and the heating was presided over by Mrs.J.F.Stevenson, president of the Association.Miss Ellen Laing, reeording secretary, and Miss Tenney, general secretary, took seats on either side of the President.Before the regular business was started a half an hour of prayer was conducted by Mrs.John MacDougall.In the report of Miss Laing, recording secretary, it was stated that thirteen regular business meetings had been held dur ing the quarter, with an average attendance of fifteen.On October 1, a Foreign Missionary Committee was formed, with Mrs John MacDougall as convener, and Mrs.W.B.Lindsay as secretary- and treasurer, Mention was made of the encouraging reports and also the fact that there have never been exceptions to this rule as the result of being ill- spent.Neither has there been regret in regard to the methods employed.The reports have always shown the lack of money and workers, however, especially the latter.Miss Tenney read the House Committee\u2019s report, showing that there had been thir two admissions

The Educational Report was also mead by Miss Tenney.The educational ses- sien opened on September 28, with a Fruit Social, the class work being organized the following Thursday.The classes have been

short service, conducted by city clergymen held every Friday evening in the Association parlor at 7.15.A service under the direction of the Religious Committee is held every Sunday afternoon in the Women\u2019s Guild.Special reference was made to the daily services held during the Week of Prayer in the parlors of the American Presbyterian Church, The report of the Visiting Committee waa read by Miss Forester, the association missionary, showing that 358 visits were made, that clothing and fuel had been distributed among the needy, and that nourishing food had been received from .the Diet Dispensary for the sick poor.Miss Cramp, secretary for the Y.W.C.A.Temporary Home, read her report, which stated that 196 girls had been received in the home, and situations found for 53.A Bible class is held every Sunday afternoon, and a meeting by a circle of the King\u2019s Daughters each week, The class of girls at the home is most respectable, and by careful management it is hoped to exclude all whose characters would-be unsuitable for domestic service.The work at the Day Nursery was re- poried as going on as usual.The attendance of children has been smaller on account of scarcity of work for women, but the children have all been free from illness of any kind.Miss Low, convener of the Helping Hand Sewing School, reported 63 names on the voll, with an average attendance of 36.Classes are held every Saturday morning in the Inspector street Chapel of the American Presbyterian Church.On November 14th a one cent savings\u2019 bank for children attending the school was opened, and 35

been found in Mrs.Wilkinson, an English lady, who is carrying on the work most successfully, A class of girls to learn plain household cookery has been organized from Morgan's and other large establishments, in response to a suggestion made recently.Mrs.Trenholme reported for the Y.W.C.A.Training School, showing that the work there was going on steadily.Lessons in clear starching and ironing were given during the winter, and a children\u2019s sewing class held weekly.The report of the Building Committee, read by Miss Sippell, stated that everything was going on satisfactorily, and the association had good reason to congratulate itself upon its beautiful new building, which is rapidly nearing completion.The various reports were adopted and confirmed, and the meeting closed with the singing of the doxology.ABERDEEN ASSOCIATION.® Following is the report of the English branch of the Aberdeen Association, presented by Mrs.Hanson: The English branch of the Aberdeen As- rociation

SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, LATEST FASHION HINTS.Now that tailor bodices and plain or slightly trimmed skirts with heavy :u: wraps are the correct thing for out-of- door wear, it is a great relief to don pre: purpose nothing can be more appropriat- and charming than the still admired, el: gant and cosy tea gown, or the dainty demi-toilettes adopted by so many ladics of recognized gucd taste, some of which are so elegant as to be \u201cquite the thing\u201d for a small dinner party 4.a quiet evening at home.An appropr™.te dress of this kind for a young matron is composed of a skirt and foundation bodice of moire velours or flowered chine silk in mauve, heliotrope or antique rose.A lace edg:d yoke, collar and sleeves of white or cream gauze, with belt, bretelles, and cuffs of spangled embroidery makes up a lovely gown.The sleeves of such toilettes are entirely new, many being draped and puffed to the elbow being a most artistic change from the plain coat sleeve trimmed solely, at the top.A fashionable tea gown is made with a long loose overcoat, gored at the sides and back and falling in graceful pleats from the shoulder.This over-dress may be of black satin, brocade or velvet, lined with silk of any pretty light shade and opening in front to show an under dress of the same color veiled with black jetted net.The collar and square slashed revers are of silk embroidered with jet.The puffed sleeves are trimmed with rich Diack lace while handsome buttons ornamént each side of the Inose robe.Simpler tea gowns are made of one silk material with a Watteau pleat at the back and a Zouave jacket of velvet the same color.Among dresses for the house is the very desirable and useful breakfast gown, which may be made up in the plainest as well as the most elegant styles to suit the wearer.Her Dancing Shoes.After fans and handkerchiefs shoes are objects of anxious thought to every woman who is resolved to be well dressed.Dancing shoes are being made very much in hronze, which has the effect of narrowing the foot and making it look small.Satin has mot this effect, but rothing will oust it from favor when it matches a gown, particularly as there is no material more pliant and com- TT Benoit in which to dance.Nimble fingers are well employed now in NS nes ORD RS 0) 2 Se Code: > oe \\S © X30 EN TD Se CS > D RR es >, are pi NWN 7 es 5 SS = ZN NN NF

latest fashion.Only a tiny buckle of paste or steel ornaments the best shoes, or a wee bow closely embroidered with jewels.1t is bes coming the fashion with ladies to wear colored boots.The uppers, as they are called, are of green, blue, tan, or even fine white leather, while the toes and surrounds are of patent.For skating wear, laced boots are used, which also button.It is.thought that by first of all lacing the boot beneath, and then buttoning a flap over it, an immense amount of support is given to the ankle.Trousseau Embroideries.The marking of linen is quite a business in these days of sumptuous trousseaux.In stores which make a specialty of fine napery orders are taken for the working of letters when the linen is selected, so that it can be sent home in boxes ready for use.One fiancee will choose two unpretentious initials placed side by side and worked in plain raised letters, to be intricately interlaced and elaborately worked with both solid and open lace stitches.Huge ornamental monograms are also conspicuous on napery and bed linen as well as on tea cloth.Three letters are a good rule is case of house linen, one for the respective initials of the Christian names of the bride and groom and the third for the family name.Tea and Luncheon Cloths.Five o'clock tea is becoming to be quite a meal in this country, as it is on the other side.The tea cloths used on this delightfully informal occasion are larger than formerly, because more is made of the meal, and as a result larger tables are used.For a long time clothes worked in colors superseded all others for this use.Woe to the woman who has a number on hand, for they are now considered quite out of fashion.Indeed, the only things colored permissible in table decorations are flowers and candles.White damask is correct for 5 o'clock tea, preferably the plain with border of Mexican, Renaissance or Irish lace, or sometimes a scroll of white embroidery is used.Some of the lunch cloths are highly colored in rose pink, bright blues, and even in vivid reds ; but luncheon is made less of than any other meal, and so luncheon ty bright garments in the house.For this \u2018 Novel Frozen

culminated in uni que designs.cate tints historic, patriotic and other memories can now be perpetuated with ice cream; things of beauty and a joy.alas, not forever, but until they melt! And the most wonderful of all is the lamp, says the New York Tribune.While the plebian thankfully demolished his pat of ice cream in the hot summer A dainty winter pelerine that may be worn with any dress is here shown.It can be made in either velvet or moire but the trimming is of long haired black or grey Thibet, edged with broad chenille fringe.As it reaches to the waist both at the back and front it is quite snug and warm.A high collar and muff to match completes this handsome and becoming set of furs.months, skilled artists were working away on the lamp.Of course they were busy with other things, too; but the lamp was their chief worry.They cast and re-cast thick tin moulds with rough, ugly exteriors, but which, when opened on the hinge, disclosed fine concave lines on the metal surface.And so difficult was their task that the lamp is only just completed and has not appeared on any banquet table.The rich are hard to please, and take no pleasure in the pat that brought the plebian summer joy.Art must grace the feasts of winter, miniature lamp.Every line is delicately moulded, and the firm cream, except to the initiated, looks exactly like tinted china.The base is of chocolate; the round oil-bowl of palest pink strawberry, with two white doves in vanilla ornament on each side.Then comes a little row of pistachio, jutting down into the pink, while the burner and upper parts are of | chocolate.The whole is placed on a plate and then a silver shade-holder is attached, bearing a delicate pink, green, yellow, red or lavender crepe paper shade tied with au tinv silk bow.» Around the table a white satin-covered electric wire is run.It is almost invisible.At each cover, attached to this wire, is an ingenious contrivance by which a bulb ean be adjusted in a second, behind the plate.The bulb rests on a minute stand and fits in underneath the crepe shade.That this gives a marvellous effect on a large table was proved when the lamp was experimented with at a prominent caterer\u2019s.The fifty or sixty delicately shaded bulbs transform the board, with its glittering silver and painted plates, into something like fairyland.livery conceivable device is now made in ice cream.The bicycle gir! in bloomers is one of the late additions to the happy appetite.Even the weird element is pandered to; for to please the Thirteen Club and associations of that ilk, coffins, skulls and crossbones are moulded so that lugubrious individuals, even when eating the frozen sweet, can constantly remember that \u201cdeaths lays his icy band on kings.\u201d \u2014 Life\u2019's Mirror.There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave, There are souls that are pure and true! Then give to the world the best you have And the best will come back to you.Give love, and love to your life will flow, A strength in your utmost need; Have faith, and a score of hearts will show Their faith in your word and deed.Give truth, and your gifts will be paid in kind And honor will honor meet.And a smile that is sweet will surely find À smile that is just as swect.Give pity and sorrow to those who mourn;

How pure! How moral! How edifying! Poor Ibsen!

By PAUL PRY, agement a farce will be presented by the stock company next week.It will be a pleasant chanze to the regular patrons of this theatre to see the favorites of the stock company in new roles, but it will at the same time give an idea of the versatility of the players who constitute this splendid dramatic organization.It is not the idea of the management to pursue a plan of playing farces, but merely to break the run of the heavy serious dramas, Some very important and exceedingly strong dramas are underlined for the near future, as the success of the \u201cCharity Ball\u201d has emboldened the management to attemnt seme more high-class recent successes.The farce vehicle which has been selected for next week is an uproariously funny one from the German of Von Moser, by Sidney Grundy and is entitled the Circus Girl.It is one continuous laugh from the start and the three acts are chock full of lud- crous scenes and situations.Miss Beryl Hope will be seen in a soubrette role for the first time since she began her engagement at the Francais, that of Rosa Colum- bier, the circus girl, who is the cause of all the merriment.Mr.King, Mr.Woodall and Mr.Gaden are all appropriately supplied with comie parts, while Mr.Probert will be seen in the role of an irascible mother-in-law.The vaudeville bill will be headed by Carter, the magician, who, since the death of Hermann, lays claim to the title of \u201cthe greatest of all conjurers.\u201d 1le will present a mystifying illusion entitled The Phantom Bride in which a woman is made to disappear from the centre of the stage in the twinkling of an eve in full view of the audience, without any aid of trapa or screens, When the managers of the Queen\u2019s opened regotiations for Trilby with Mr.AM.Palmer and William A.Brady they met with several obstacles which weresat first unforeseen, but these were overcome and we will have Trilby in all her glory next week.Not only are we to have Trilby, but the great Sibyl Johnstone is to play the title role.Miss Johnstone is a high- salaried \u201cTrilby\u201d and there can be no question of her duplicating her great New York success here, and that a rare treat is in store for all those who attend the Queen's next week.Mr.John C.Dixon, the well-known Montrealer, will portray the character of \u201cSvengali.\u201d Mr.Dixon has won fame as an actor in the great cities of England and America and was chosen by Augustin Daly for support to Ada Re- han when Mr.Daly opened his new theatre in London with his ideal American Company.Mr.Dixon has a host of warm personal friends who will give hin! a loyal welcome.Trilby has enhanced in value since the sad death of George Du Maurier, 3 the author, who was unable to survive the tremendous success of his bool, The dramatization is by Mr.Paul Potter and is under the sole management of Messrs, A M.Palmer and W.A.Brady, and is knewn as the Palmer production.Beautiful special scenery and gorgeous costumes are to be employed in the presentation.Matinees as usual will be given on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.Mr.Frank Orsato, press agent of the Theatre Royal, is to sever his connection with that old established house, at the end of the present season, to accept a position as advance manager for one of Gus Hills big shows.If I mistake not tt was at the Royal Mr.Orsato, \u201cFrank\u201d 's more familiar, commenced his connection with the profession.Shortly after the opening of the Queen's he was transferred by Mr.Sparrow, and later on left to accept the position of treasurer at the Academy of Music.From there he went back to hig first love, the Royal, and to-day he is one of the most attentive attaches of the many connected with our theatres.As an advance man he should make a decided success, and manv friends will join in expressing the hope that he will be as popular on the road as he is in Montreal.Rather strange, is it not, that in the column announcing Mr.Orsato\u2019s departure, I should have the pleasure of being the first to give the news that Mr.Fred Leclaire, for years press agent of the Royal, has decided to return to the city.Te is at present managing the Belleville Theatre, but there isn\u2019t much money in it.\u2014 Lawrence ITanley is the latest actor to leave the legitimate stage for the vaudeville.If they keep on it will he a good thing for the few actors of ability who stick to their proper sphere.The only fault I have to find is that the vaudevilla stage is not getting any of the bad actors.There are so many of them that they never would be missed.On Monday Mr.E.W.Varney, jr., the genial manager of the Queen's, will celebrate his \u2014 (¥) birthday.Here's congratulations \u201cNed,\u201d may you see many of them.Mr.Robert Henders, of the Queen's, is considering an offer to take the business management of My Friend From India Co.Bobby is getting a big boy now.The attraction at the Royal next week is the very best one of tie year.That's right.The agent says so.This is his advance notice: \u201cIt is the gold and silver extravaganza of the 20th century.The performance commences with the jolly, rollicking skit Ii Hunk Chunk's Reception and terminates with the laughable side-splitting burlesque The Greezer\u2014 thirty-six laughs to the second, and one hundred and eighty shouts to thesminute.The olio contains the best aggregation of vaudeville and comedy stars thas will be seen at this theatre this season.\u201d The constant stream of purchasers at the box office of the Academy presages a brilliant engagement by the famous Bos- tonians next week.The principal singers with this operatic organization are so well and favorably known, and the reputa- tation of the Bostonians for giving excellent performances of light opera is so well established, that little remains to bo said.But little comment is needed to describe Robin Hood, which is the bill for Monday, Wednesday and Saturdav nichts and Wednesday matinee.The opera has been heard here before, but never with the original cast, which is the feature of the present engagement.Concerning Prince Ananias, which is announced for Tvesday and Friday nights, it is enough to say that the opera is by Victor Herbert, the accomplished (\u2018rector of Gilmore's Band.Prince Ananias is said to be replete with pungent humor, light and frothy music, beautifully costumed and staged, and presents to eve and ear a brilliant picture of life at the Court of Navarre during the 16th century.On Thursday night another novelty is promised in the melodramatic opera Tn Mexico.in which Jessie Bartlett Davis js said to have made a veritable triumph in the role of Teresa.Tn Mexico is said to be somewhat on the lines of Ca.valleria Rusticana.and is full of beautiful arias and sonorous and dramatic ensembles.A enmplete production will be \u2018made of this opera as well as The Pohe- mian Girl, which will be revived by spe- .1t he Saturday matinee.cial request at the © arday mate QUE i less to state th ne orchestra, splendid chorus and accesssories, music lovers are promise perfect representations of opera comique.NOTES.( Joseph

and Mr.D.A.Bullock, of Georgeville, Points Out the Road to Renewed Health, {From the Magog, Que., News.Mr.D.A.Bullock, boatbuilder, of George- ville, is well and favorably known to all the residents of that village.He has passed through a very trying illness from which his friends feared he could not recover, but he is once more happily enjoying good health.To a correspondent of the Magog News Mr.Bullock recently gave the particulars of his illness and cure, saying that he would be very glad if his exper:- ence would prove helpful in enabling someone else to regain health.Me says: \u201cThere is no doubt in my mind that Dr.William\u2019s Pink Pills brought me from the horrors of death to the glad cheerful world.Some years ago, owing to over-work and trouble, I was reduced to weak state of health, wherein the heart failed to do its work properly, and not unnaturally the stomach became inactive.I had visits from three doctors, but without beneficial results.The medicine given by one of them caused a nervous shock that prostrated me for several weeks.The last one who treated me gave me a preparation of strychnine which upset my kidneys to such an extent that I was confined to the house and daily growing weaker.I had to keep stimulants constantly at my side to keep the heart at work, and even with this artificial aid its action was very faint.Then I began to try advertised medicines, but still without any good results.I lost strength, flesh and hope.I was advised to try Dr.Williams\" Pink Pills and that reminded me that 1 had a box of them at my place of business, which had been lying there for more than a year.Without very much confidence in them I decided to give the pills a trial.The result I must confess seemed to be almost magical.I had not taken the Pink Pills long when I was able to rest in my chair and take good, refreshing sleep, some thing that had not taken place for months before.From that day with the use of Pink Pills I continued to gain in strength and am to-day a strong and healthy man, I believe that even Pink Pills should be assisted in their good work on the system, and that assistance is exercise, and this exercise I took from the time I began to regain my strength.I have now every faith in this medicine and believe that if those who are sick will use it health will be the reward.Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills strike at the root of the disease, driving it from the system and restoring the patient to health and strength.In cases of paraiysis, spinal troubles, locomotor ataxia, sciatica, rheu matism, erysipelas, scrofulous troubles, cte., these pills are superior to all other treatment.They are also a specific for the troubles which make the lives of so many women a burden, and speedily restore the rich glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks, Men broken down by overwork, worry or excesses will find in Pink Pills a certain cure.Sold by all dealers, or sent by mail postpaid, at 50c.a box, or six boxes for

criti- cismg, that it is like an escape into the bracing air of the higher altitudes of life, to be reminded of the eternal verities of which literature and history can be at best but the exponents in time.The work 1s divided into two parts.The first treats of the Christian ideal of lite in relation to the Greek and Jewish uleals: the second of modern idealism in its relation to the Christian ideal of life.\u2018The former of these divisions, after a chapter on the historical connection of moril- ity and religion, sketches the three ideals referred to in its title.Although each of the three is disposed of in a single chap ter, the author has contrived, by his peculiar method of treating the Christian ideal, to bring out its characteristic features with extraordinary fulness and force.The peculiar interest of lis method consists in taking the reader beyond the writings of the great Christian moralists and theo- legians, even beyond the writings of the Apestles.to the infinitely fruitful teaching of the Master himself.One cannot but be struck bv the profound significance which that teaching at times receives,whan viewed in the light of the highest thought to which philosophic reflection has strug: gled.Some may even be startled by being told that \u2018the principle of evolution, of which so much is now said, hag never been applied more precisely to the development of religious ideas than by Jesus.\u201d And yet what else îs the essential drift of those parables which form such a large proportion of the whole teaching of Jesus, an which the develop- Reto FTTITETS

very core of Christian ethics\u2014that which gives it its stperority, and makes it inconcewvable dat i's principle can ever be transcended.The tir-t part vf Dr.Watson's book may be enjoyed by any intellectual reader.The other is necessarily more technical.Here it is impossible to enter into a detailed explanation.It must suffice tu say that the author secks to show how the Christian idea is identical with that interpretation of the world, to which ideal- lstic philusophy points.True, the Church has too often limited the function of Christianity, as if jt had to do merely with the moral life of man.\u201cBut,\u201d says our author in closing his work, \u2018the Christian ideal, as embodied in the teaching of Jesus.wax free from this limitation.It saw God in the orderly processes of nature and in the beauty of the world, as well as in the loving service of humanity.In principle it therefore embraced all that makes for the higher life.The Christianity of our day must free itself from the narrow conception of life by which Protestantism has tended to limit its principle.It must recognize that the ideal of Christian manhood includes within it the Greek ideal of clear thought and the love of beauty, as well as the Jewish ideal of righteousn ss, and the Roman ideal of law and order, harmonizing all by the divine spirit of love to tiod and man, on the basis of that free spirit which has ceme to us mainly from our Teutome ancestors.\u201d J.CLARK MURRAY.The Inn By the Shore.Florence Warden (Macmillan and Co., New York: Copp Clark and Co.Toronto).Pretty Nell Claris,

demand in the United States?At ance the distinction must be made between what ls fine book-binding and artistic binding.In the latter is to be included the chef d'oeuvres of elegance and of admirable hand-craft.This highest development of the bookbinder's art is a luxury which demands a great deal of monvy and in which à majority of book owners do not indulge.It is rather questionable wh:th- er real artists in book-binding could find the means of existence in New York.did they depend exclusively on such special work.Whether the demand for the magnificence of book-binding may not take on larger proportions in the future as far as we are concerned cannot be\u2019 answered.Taste among amateurs for precious bindings seems to incline rather toward purchasing fine specimens of the work of the past.When fine book-binding in he United States is examined, it is of a general higher excellence than English work.The reasons for this are manv.The most important cause is that we buy more books than any other people, and we purchase for ourselves.We do not rely as much on publie libraries or lending libra- rics as do people in England.We do nat re-bind as much as ia done in other countries.Under general conditions a hook once brought here is expected to last: therefore, when the publisher turns out his volume as far as the manufacturing processes concern him, the best conditions are observed.Of late years greater attention has been paid to the decoration of books, and on this account the foundation of the volume, whith is the cover, had to be of the best.Our muslin-covered books, in An art sense, surpass those of all other nations.If formerly we imported textile fabries suited to our wants to be used on book covers, we do so no longer, or to a very limited extent.Our manufacturers quickly responded to the demand made on them.and now furnish excellent materials, not onlv as to make but as to colors.It might thought that linen used as a cover would be more lasting than cotton, but experience shows the contrary.It used to be thought, too, that for the sewing of the book, linen thread had great advantages over cotton.In many old books the linen ihread often is dis- coverable and is pointed to as indicative of its superior excellence, but that only arose because cotton was not then in common use.To-day cotton thread is known to resist strain and usage better I was careful to sec that the critters were screamin\u2019 drunk before T gave the signal for turnin\u2019 in\u20141 packed up the dollars still remainin\u2019 to the credit of

law in a judicial and commercial manner, accordin\u2019 to the way in which it is undertaken in the United States of America.I hev here drawn up a tariff, which will be hung in a conspicuous place,

response.Who was this woman, and was this her last song ?No, indeed.Her poems were collecied; they were published.Editions ! of the book appeared in rapid succession, and it became known that the woman's name was Johanna Ambrosius; that she lived in the remote village of Gross-Wers- meninken, close to the Russian border; that she was poor and ill.The kindhearted Empress was moved by this rumor and sent a messenger, not only with deco: rations and honors, but also with food and clothing, to the far-away village where Jchanna Ambrosius lay almost dving.1t is fitting that the American edition of the poems should be dedicated to the woman who in her palace heard and held a helping hand to her sister woman, the peasant in the hut.This peasant had been obliged to perform the hardest and most menial labor, yet those scarred and toil-hardened hands had penned poetry which within the past two years has moved all Germany.The introduction of Johanna Ambrosius to the world is due for the most
