INTERESTED.The Hermit Kingdom of Corea is becoming of very pecullar interest to Canadians inasmuch as our young men and young women have resoived to take possession of it.About eight years ago the students in Toronto University sent out one of their graduates of that uni- vergity, Mr.James S.Gale, B.A.Again jn 1890 Toronto and Trinity medical schools sent out Dr.Hardy and his wife.\u2018These missions amalgamated in 1392 under the name of the Canadian Colleges Mission and an effort was made to eniist other colleges, with the result that the Guelph Agricultural College, the Ontario Veterinary College, the Nor-| mal schools of Toronto and Ottawa, Coligny College, Ottawa; the University aN » , SN Xn 3 fe \\ NY N NR 3 p A MR.FENWICK.of Toronto Young Men's Christian Association, the Wiomen\u2019s Medical College, the Knowlton Ladies\u2019 College and perhaps others have joined in it.Theological schools did not form a part of this plan as these are generally found working in conmection with the mission schemes of the churches to which they belong.The Presbyterian Theological colleges, for instance, support a number of missionaries in Honan, China.The small mission as it looks to the students for the support of îts missionaries, its object being rather to cultivate among them the self-sacrificing spirit than to create a rival missionary organization.The students look to the graduates of their own colleges for assistance in case of amy special demand for help, such as at present exists in the need of a house at the port of Wun-San, where Mr.Gale and Dr.and Mrs.Hardy are settled.\u2018This is mot, however, the only Canadian interest in Corea, there is also the Corean Mission, formerly called the Corean Umion Mission, carried on on non-denominational Unes, with its headquarters also at Toronto.Mr.Fenwick, who is now in Montreal, is the forerunner of this mission.He has been for some years in Corea and thoroughly understands the people.He hopes to find associates.His plan is to do pioneer work on the same plan as Hudson Taylor's China Inland Mission.Mr.Fenwick feels that to do good work in Corea he must not live better than the people themselves.He must be ready to put his arm round a men, even if the man is dirty, and point him in a brotherly way to Christ.He will be quite willing to hand over the fruits of his ploneer work to the more organized societies who may follow and always push forward into new regions to tell the glad tidings to those who have never heard them.Mr.Fen- wick is to speak this evening at the American Presbyterian Church at eight o\u2019glock.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 GOUIN VS.G.T.R.JUDGMENT IN AN INTERESTING CASE.Chief Justice Sir Francis Johnson sent down his judgment from his house this morning in the case of Gouin vs.the Grand Trunk Railway Company.\u2018This is an action by which Mr, Loomer Gouin, advocate, claimed from the company the sum of $8,849.17, for professional services in connection with expropriation cases, especially in the district of Beauharnois.The judgment holds that the whole case rests on the value of the services rendered, and that there is a wide difference between said value as eppreciated by plaintiff's witnesses and by those for the defence.The witnesses for plaintiff are fewer and appear to be less conver- Sant with the matter at issue than those for defendant, whose evidence would Teduce the claim by at least two-thirds.\u2018The court being obliged to give weight both to the value and to the number of witnesses, cannot in its conscience find evidence of a debt of more than $3,000.This amount the company was willing to pay before the institution of the ac- l'on, in order to avoid costs, but it was not tendered.Under the circumstances, judgment must go for this sum of $3,000, with costs of suit.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 DEATH OF A VETERAN SHERIFF.Mr.Charles Nolin, sheriff of the district of Iberville, died at St.Johns on Saturday at the advanced age of 8 Years.The deceased had been in office for about 25 years and was greatly esteemed and respected.He leaves four daughters and three sons.Of the latter, one is the Rev.Father Nolin, S.J., and anothey Dr.Nolin, of this city.> NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.Friday, March 23, being a holiday, there will be no issue of thre \u2018Daily Wiiress\u2019 Advertisers are requested to send in their

the late Hungarian Louis Kossuth, that a word from one who met him several times during his stay in England may be interesting.After the battle of Temesrar, there was a flight of Poles and Hungarians to Turkey, where they received the protection of the Sultan\u2014ome of the most honorable acts ever done by a Mohammedan potentate.A number of these \u2018men afterwards came to England, oe as, qe Lo ante 1 Vans yi GE ay J memory serves me aright) who were hospitably received at Sheffield, and kept umtil they were able to maintain themselves.© Amongst these were 8ev- eral Hungarians.When Koasuth came to England he paid a visit to Sheffield to see his countrymen, and thank those who had so generously given them shelter and maintenance.As one of the secretaries of the refuge committee it fell to my lot to have au number of interviews with this iHustrious patriot, who, to my astonishment, spoke English better than the great mass of my countrymen.His diction was somewhat less modern than was commonly heard, having evidently been acquired by a close study of Shakespeare, reminding me of the style of another great master of English, George Damson.Kossuth delivered a lecture on Poland while in Sheffield, for which I made a colossal chart, showing its repeated carvings up by its greedy neighbors.The great patriot was seriously depressed by the turn events had taken in Europe, and looked upon the deliverance of the people from despotism as hopeless, unless England and America could be induced to make common cause with the party of progress.He seemed somewhat unable to understand the apathy of the advanced Liberals of England, and of Conservatives who were strongly opposed to Russia, in regard to armed intervention on behalf of the peoples oppressed by despotism.I saw him shrug his shoulders, disdainfully, as an eathu- siastic local Democrat, or, Radical denounced despotic rulers, but declared that the people suffering from tyranny must be their own dellverers.In cen- versation he argued with a quiet, bu material porte ea isting system im Russia, Austria, Hungary, etc., were enormous, and that they would keep the existing dynasties, with their tyrannous rule, dominant for generations unless the mations enjoying freedom interfered in the interests of liberty and humanity.Kossuth was somewhat like in face to his great teacher, and model of English, Stakespeare.He was of a medium height, very dignified, but affable in manner, and seemed to be burdened with thoughts too deep for words.1 saw him at a later date in London in company with Mazzini and Louis Blanc, with whom, I gathered, he was not very sympathetic, except in their general aims to secure larger freedom for their respective mationalities.Kossuth, indeed, was more of a great statesman than a Tevolutionist, and in hig death Europe loses one of its noblest, ° Istorle characters.It is a deadly accusation against any form of government when men so patriotic, so able, So gifted with statesmanlike qualities, are driven into revolutionary courses.J.H.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THEY WANT LICENSES.; The following are the applicants for restaurant licenses: Charles

to go on the streets about May 7.It is understood that values in nearly every case will remain the same as last year.\u2019 The wards have been apportioned as follows: Messrs.Dillon and Grose, St.Antoine, St.Lawrence and Centre; Messrs, Morin and Thomas, St.Mary's, Hochelaga, St.Jean Baptiste and Bt.Denis; Messrs.Muir and Langevin, St.Ann\u2019s, St.Gabriel and West; Messrs.Lamontagne and Patterson, St.Louis, St.James and East.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 THE RIVER.There Is a long strip of open water on the river this morning.This stretches from Windmill Point down inside of the guard pier to a point nearly opposite the Custom House.Towards the centre of the river there are several bodies of walter visible, but it is impossible to way whether it is an opening in the channel or only surface water collected on the ice.The river is several inches higher than it was yesterday afternoon which would seem to indicate some motion of the dce TE o KEARNEY'S LICENSE.SOLID REASON WHY HE SHOULD NOT GET ONE.Kearney's application was yesterday afternoon considered by the License Commissioners.Judge Dugas had evidently reconsidered his decision not to sit on this case, for he was there, and also Judge, Desnoyers.The Recorder is still confined to his home with an attack of th grippe.A number of liquor sellers and t friends were present, including Josep Riendeau, Charlebois, the would-be Victoria street restauranteur, Martin brothers and Richardson.As soon as] the commissioners had taken their places upon the bench, Mr.Sicotte, jr., jected to the commissioners taking any cognizance of the opposition made against his client.He tried to show that as the day fixed for the consideration of the application was Feb.27, and the new law did not come into force until March 8 it could have no eppli- cation in the present case.The new law could not be retroactive.He cited authorities to sustain his position.Mr.A.W.Smith, of McLaren, Leet & Smith, who appeared for the Dominion Allance, replied to the objections raised by Mr.Sicotte, and the case went on.Mr, Smith asked the commissioners if they were satisfied of the fact that Kearney had been twice convicted of selling liquor \u2018without a license, or would it be necessary to go to proof on that point.Judge Dugas \u2014 \u2018That's admitted: we have looked into it, and there is no doubt about that fact.\u2019 Mr.Smith then went into the arxu- ment and in a very clear and effective manner, pointed out that the new law was unquestionably now in force, and was in force when this application came up for consideration before the commissioners on the 13th instant, the day fixed for hearing the opposition.He quoted clause 843, sub-section 7, of the license law which says: \u2018Any person producing before the competent authorities, when the application is being taken into consideration * * * objections,.etc.has the righ: to be heand\u2019 Was not the application at the very moment.being taken into consideration, he asked, if so, then, the objection of his learned friend could not prewail The commissioners in this case had no discretion whatever.Clause Ne.of the (Special to the \u201cWile: fiy

captivates, and that is why the kinder- Farten department was crowded this morning at the annual oral examina- ons in the Model School on Belmont street, while the serious but matter of fact classes were comparatively neglected.For it is a story the Kinder- Barten tells, a picture it presents tc the eye, a poem of grace ,and color, and motion dit recites.The chfld is Very young when dt is unable to comprehend love.Love is the law of the E'ndergarten.That is why the kinder- farten has been euch an unequivocal success wherever it has been \u2018ntro- duced.The serious purpose is hidden in the delightful play.The little apirit takes on grace through laughter.The motive is never formally stated.The thread of purpose is latent in the ezer- C.ses that make for grace.the farms that are a delight when the structure is reared.No visitor has ever yet seen a yawn in the kindergarten department.The mothers find themselves young again as they watch their children, and, in spirit, place themselves in the little circle.There were songs, and little dramas, and the rearing of wonderful structures in wood, and, pervading all that was said and done, the spirit of love.Every door was crowded, and it was hard to get even a glimpse of the little people, happy in their play, which the spirit of love has discovered can be called teaching as well.In the advanced classes for boys and girls, the exercises were of the usual character, and, indeed, the School life goes on every day mostly as it proceeded to-day, which had no special significance sô far as results at the close of the term were concerned.The chief object was the affording the parents an opportunity of seeing the work of the school.But the clasSes were examined orally in the presence of the public din the subjects which form their daily work, and much promptitude and intelligence were observed.Exercises in manual traîning were carried out in the afternoon in the new workshop.The word manual is used here advisedly, for nothing is permitted which would dispense with the use of the hand.Not even a lathe will he allowed.The tools are carpenter's tools, and with these, without Knivos or lathes, everything has to be fashioned.\u2018This training,\u2019 sald Dr.Robins, \u2018will at least make handy mem of thi boys.It #8 à Teproach to any man to be unhandy.That a man should be unable to drive in a mail without hitting his finger, 1s a cause for blushing.\u2019 + SPORTS AND PASTIMES.LACROSSE CLUBS PREPARING.THE BRITANNIA WINS AGAIN\u2014THE 0.W.\u2014 A MEFT\u2014OHESS OHAT\u2014GENERAL.\u2018Last night the Maple Lacrosse Club held its annuel meeting at 2115 St.Catherine street.There was a large attendance and the enthusiasm displayed speaks well for the club's prospects during the coming season.They resolved, should the condition of the ground permit, to hold their first practice on Friday aftéernoen on Fletcher's Field.Mr.J.J.Warren is the president, Mr.A.8.Read secretary, and Mr.Chas.O'Neil treasurer of the club.It was decided also to endeavor to get into the Independent Junior League.They have added several new players to thelr team and will mo doubt give a good account of themselves this year.Messrs, McKer- row, Hay and Quinn were appointed delegates to attend the mext meeting of the league.Maroon : shirts and grey knickers will form the uniform of this club in future.THE CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS.Speculation is rife now as to the personnel of the different teams in\u2019 the senior series, That there will be many changes is certain but what these will be no one can yet tell.Ottawe is count- thoge-wfho pretend to know asiy that at least two of the Capitals\u2019 last pe year players will cross sticks for Cornwall.New blood will no doubt be infused into all of the senior clubs, and the changes will at least be sufficient to make a choice of the trophy winners impossible until they have been tried on the field.THE JERSEYS.The Jersey Lacrosse Club will hold its second annual meeting at 130 8t.George street at eight o'clock this evening.BICYCLING.OTTAWA TO SUPPORT MONTREAL.At the general meeting of the Ottawa Bicycle Club last night it was unanimously

and was won by the Prince of Wales's \u2018Britannia\u2019 by 50 minutes.The \u2018Oretta\u2019 was second and the \u2018Valkyrie 1.\u2019 third, The race began at 7.30 o'clock this morning and ended at 3.20 this afternoon, at which time the \u2018Britannia,\u2019 with the Prince of Wales on board, crossed the finish line.The distance sailed was 60 miles.fee A COMPLAINT AGAINST JUSTICE.At the opening of thé Exchequer Court yesterday, Mr.Coderre, who appeared for pleintiff in the case of Filion vs.the Queen, commenced to address .the Court in French, but the judge having admitted his inability tb hear hima in that language, Mr.Coderre proceeded to speak in English, and when, later on, French witnesses were called, Mi.Aud=t, clerk of the court, acted as interpreter and translated their evi- der ce.Referring to this incident, the \u2018Monde\u2019 says: \u2018Mr.Coderre rose and commenced tp speak French.Judge Burbridge told him that he did not understand French and that he must find an English confrere.Mr.Hogg, an Ottawa lawyer imported here where we have so many good lawyers, said that Le also did not understand French.Now, as all the witnesses speak French only, it is proper to say that in this case, justice will not only have a bandage over her eyes.but will also have wadding In her ears.\u2019 leprae PERSONAL.The Preshytery of Algoma has nominated Dr.LleKay of

Church, in their eleventh annual meeting, and to celebrate the ninetieth birthday of the grand old prohibition chieftain, General Neal Dow.\u2019 The president, Mrs.T.G.Willlams, in reviewing thelr past work and marking progress, noted first the great wii- ingness of the press in general to publish temperance matter din their columns.This, of course, she said, did not refer to the \u2018Witness,\u2019 as that paper had always been the strongest ally of the temperance work.The work was progressing throughout the whole Do- nminion.\u2018the voice of the pcuple Was saying, \u201cThe liquor traffic must go.The society for \u2018he prevention of cruelty to the liquor traffic, as some had cher acterized ths Royal Comuir;ss.ou, lac passed ints oblivion.A dclegation of temperance poopie was soon to appesi before the Deminfon Government, ug: ing prohibition for the whole Donanion.A deputation of one hundred women, headed by Mins Willaré and Tad; Henry Somerset, werc

teen diftsrenit departments.Dustg the pas: veur they had Loen greatly hindered by the tiunning of \u2018their ranks through sickness and death, but they coul: siti! neport progress, and among thelr workers the greatest harmony.Migs Barber vegretted that for the first time in the history of the union, she had to report a deficit in the ét+an- gelistic department.The recelpls had been $1,197.70, expenditure §$1,438.2i, leaving them now in debt to the exiant of $260.51.One of the bright spots in their work, was their Society of King's Daughters, whose willing fingers had helped many weary mothers and needy children.Every member had signed the temperance and purity pledge.During the year, 2,500 books had been taken from the lending library, and 300,000 pages of literature distributed, and the girls themselves had contributed $148 to the work.The Woman's Exchange was more prosperous than ever.In the Sheltering Home they were bafl- ly pressed for room.During the year 243 women had been cared for there and 79 in the night refuge.They aiso badly needed more laundry accommodation.The statistics for the year were: Women admitted, 243; children, 21; situations obtained, 74; left of their own accord, 104; went to situations, 27; sent to the Maternity hospital, 83; sent to England, 3; sent to the insane asylum, 1.Again Miss Barber made a strong appeal for more preventive work.She longed for à training home for sérvaits, whêre oùr girls might be trained to take pride in bonerable work.The city had spent a Ï isc ng what eould ing on retaining las year's jeam, bu buy | Food deal

Finley reported most satisfactory work done by the \u2018Ys.Miss Bryson, the treasurer of the Union, reported the receipts for the past year, 813.71; expenditure, $804.68; leaving a balance in the treasury of $0.06.\u2018The membership of the Union, «she said, reached nearly 900.The following are the officers for the ensuing year: President, Mes.T.G.Williams: active vice-presidents, Mrs.Paul, Mrs.C.G.Jones, Mrs.Gault, Mrs, S.Finley; recording secretary, Miss Palmer; corresponding secretary, Mrs.J.Leslie; treasurer, Miss Walker.Mrs.C.T.Williams, the \"Dominion president, was then called upon to give a short sketch of the life of Neal Dow, which she 4id in her usual bright, concise and comprehensive manner.Miss Dougall then drew their attention to the 28th of March, the day set apart for prayer for schools and colleges, and afier the usual votes of thanks the meeting was brought to a close.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE FIREMEN'S CONVENTION.Fire Chief Battle, Detroit, and

consequently, there is no object in keeping it up.[I A SEWING MACHINE COMBINE.Chicago, March 20.\u2014A local raper today says that arrangements for a come bination of sewing machine manufae- turers with assets of more than five mil-w lions are in progress here.The combéna- tion will, it is said, absorb the business of the White Sewing Machine Comrany, of Cleveland, the Davis Sewing Machine Company, of Dayton, Ohio, and the Domestic Sewing Macnine Company, of Newark, N.J Hess CRIMES AND CRIMINALS.In the Police Court, to-day, P.Belle- mare, aged 17, apprentice, Mignonne street, and H.Chaput, aged 16, St.Rose street, were charged with wteal- ing lead pipe.They pleaded not guilty and were remanded.Antoine Thouin, rag picker, was sent to jail for six months, for petty larceny.Israel Thouin, aged 14, was charged with stealing about two hundred pounds of poal from Mr.Henshaw, coal :merchant.The complainant said that during the winter he had had over 100 tons of coal stolen from Windmill Point, by boys who make lt a business to go about with baskets and page Dicking up coel, Thouin was remanded.grecs an.rt MEETINGS AND SOCIETIES.BOARD OF TRADE CO .~CIL.At the regular weekly meeting of the council of the Bon:d of Trade, ycs- terday, a letter was read from the secretary of the Procedure Commission, saying that he was instructed by Mr.Justice Davidson, in reply to a letter of Manch 10, to state that the holder of a mortgage would seem to have an equitable right to be advised of the sale by a sheriff of the property, and that tne plan suggested by the Board of Trade's revising committee, or some other equally efficacious one, would receive the favorable consideration of the commission.The department of marine has expressed its intention of still retaining the office of shipping master for the port of Montreal.The council endorsed the recommendation of the influential shipping men, that Mr.Ernest Ross be appointed to fill the vacant office of shipping master.In accordance with the instructions of the board at their recent annual raceting the council considered the question of free navigation on the St.Lawrence route, and ordered that the Gon- ernment be forthwith addressed on the subject, and with regard to the immediate production or abolition of canal tolls ion certain specific articles, more particularly with a view to the encouraging of the importation of heavy cargoes.Several matters of minor importance were discussed and disposed of.The following new members were duly elected yesterday: Mr.Wm.Johnson, of the Johnson 88.Line, by Mr.W.W.Ogilvie;

morning, 10.30, evening 8 o'clock.A concert in aid of the primary department of Centenary Church is announced for Good Friday evening in the lecture \u2018hall of the church.The services of Miss Alice Herbert, the weil known soloist, and other well known city talent have been secured.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 GENBRAL HOSPITAL PLANS.Plans for the renovation of the Montreal General Hospital have now been prepared by Messrs.Taylor & Gordon, architects.For several weeks they have been subjected to the closest examination of a committee of the medigal board, who, with their practical knowledge of \u2018the requirements of the hospital, have been enabled to suggest many improvements.The general design has not been makeria.ly affected, and the committee of management believe they possess a very complete and comprehensive set of plans, which, carried to completion, will place the main building upon a level with the recognized excellence of the Campbell and Greenshie:ds pavilion.The architects\u2019 estimates approximate $45,000; bearing, however, in mind the tendency of estimates to be exceeded, the committee deem it prudent to allow a margin of $5,000, which will bring up the possible expenditure up to $50,000.Towards that amount three {rends have subgcribed $16,000 in sums of $5,000 each.Others will shortly be waited upon in the hope that they will assist this most desirable undertaking to the fullest extent in their power.There is immediate need of radical alterations in ventla- tion, drainage, rearrangement of wards and the present defective administrative department.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 men THE CHATEAU DE RAMEZAY.There is ®aid to be a little hitch between the Government and the city, over the Chateau de Ramezay properties.The city expected the Government to pay down $10,000 in hard cash as a grant towards a public library, or at least take that amount off the purchase price.The Government does not intend it that way.It suggesis that the money g0 to wipe off an old claim which they have against \u2018the city for (he care of lunatics, etc., which the city has long refused to pay.and well!

it is the first luxury! I am so afraid the tourist will one day discover this, and them there will no longer be any economical Europe left.You will always be told that rooms are not to be had ; you will always come to believe it during your search for quarters, and you will always end by firding the very room you wanted in the most desirable house in the town.On the faith of one who has house-hunted over a goodly portion of Europe, I affirm that there are rooms everywhere\u2014the right rooms.We invariably {fell into them, just as we invariably fell Into despair beforehand.And, incidentally, what a great deal of Italy we saw while room-hunting ! } The rent of rooms is not particularly low, but rent is not the thing to economize on\u2014in the cities, at least.What one must pay varies with the loeation, the sunlight, which is supposed to rent with the apartment, and so on.People who can dispense with sun, who do Toucéant «few extra\u2018 Stars, WRUSPEFTStT enjoy stone floors, strike astonishing targains sometimes.Sunshine, carpets and the like are extras.You may pay six, eight or ten dollars a month ; the true wisdom again is to take what you want and pay for it.Ten doliars a month may prove cheaper than six in the end.For winter, the smaller the room the better, both for economy and comfort.One should insist upon a fireplace ; we always insisted and we always got it, ALL WAYS QF LIVING DELIGHTFUL.As for living, there is a variety of ways in which you may order your house- bold.Few rooms are let \u2018with pension,\u2019 or board, and one soon learns to be so giad they are not.It is just possible cne may get meals cooked in the house; cne may have them sent in ; one may gn out for them, or one may cook them cre's self.We tried all, az caprice or necessity dictated, and found-ali by turns delizhtful.The cheapest, unquestionably, is to gst \u2018nem for one\u2019s self ; but this does not mean quite what it would in America.\u2018 is an agreeable variation, for one tires & last of sent-ln dinners.It some- \u201cmes rains\u2014sometimes all winter\u2014and ce wearles of dragging over wet stones '\" a restaurant ; one wearies of the restaurant itself.To begin with, one must make one\u2019s lreakfast coffee, for that of Italy is un- (rinkable.The rolls, the three soldi \u201crh of cream, \u2014or one of milk, if bent (1 sternest economy,\u2014the little pat of \u2018resh butter, are all brought to your >or by some of the multitudinous boys \u201cim some of the multitudinous shops around the corner ; add your coffee 11 breakfast has prepared Itself.rom that to preparing your other meals you~ -move easily.The best «.d bravest way is to start boldly im, solving to carry your establishment \"1 you wherever you go.As for the outfit, let no one be fright- £.-] at the thought of carrying bed- l'isn, table-linen, toilet-linen, crockery, Cutlery, glass, silver, tins, porcelain ket- \"=: lamps and other trifies in her trunk \u2014erhaps her only trunk.Nothing is 50 simple.We acquired our establish- ent so gradually that it was full grown re we perceived its existence, and © I outline it for the benefit of a » m1 in bondage.: begin with the linen-closet.fresrs and (- Three two pillow-cases apiece, six \u201cight towels, two or three pretty tray- \u201cis and half a dozen napkins\u2014and à scrap more.Washing takes no f-vm in your trunk, linen does.The : ler and finer your \u2018biancheria,\u201d the \u2018er for your soul's health, perhaps : C bear in mind that every extra piece _;$ à burden to life._ \u2018en for the china-closet.We accu- ated each a cup and saucer, a plate, fo Patmeal dish and bowl and a tumbler.adually, and always dublously, we add- \u2018a lew extra dishes.One was a Ma- + «Ca pitcher.4 PITCEER TOO MANY.The drst time the establishment brake |: pressed the pitcher generously upon UT friend at parting ; but at the second __ 78#-28-up she slipped adroitly off, for- \u201cME the pitcher.\u2018Why then, did ju, PUY me?it says with a taunting or So often as I turn in its direction.\u2018© always feel it such pure gain when Yeo something breaks and proves that we can do without it.As for silver,.we acquired a knife, fork and two spoons apiece.Half a dozen of each would be better, for silver takes no room, and in inviting a guest to dine it was sometimes awkward to add, \u2018And please bring your knife and fork with you.\u201d We had also a large knife and spoon.+ We had and have a lamp ; it cost eighty cents, burns no oil, and gives the best light in Europe\u2014not that that is saying much.It would be a good lamp in America.Our kitchen consists of four articles, no, five ; a deep, porcelain-lined casserole, a coffee-pot, a shallow frying-dish, a deeper covered one and a wooden spoon ! all fitted to the dimensions of an oil-stove, all blue without and white within, and pretty enough to be anyone's plaything.Once or twice I have been insanely moved to add some beguiling article to our kitchen, only to shed it] with words of contrition the next time we moved ; and we move often.Last of all we accumulated a borrowed oil-stove.Everyone cannot do that, but anybody may buy one, and it is the part of the wise economist in Italy so to do ; for except in winter, fireplaces are useless, and even in winter whole feasts are possible with the oil-stove and impossible without.It takes no time, gives no trouble, and is wondrously inexpensive.This completes the estab lishment.Surprisingly little space encloses our domestic outfit.I travel with but two trunks, neither of them large, and the lesser given over to books, papers and literary litter in general.Into the other go all my worldly goods, including the establishment\u2014lamp, linen, china, silver; all but the four tins and coffee-pot.They: go in the shawl-strap, well wrapped in \u2018coperte\u2019 and travelling rug.Perhaps cooking on an oil-stove does rot seem as entertaining as it really is.But you must remember that nowhere in Eurcpe save in the most remote corners, need you ever be wholly at the mercy of your own cooking.Always from the Italian kitchens you can have one, two, or half a dozen dishes sent in hot and delicious.All about you are shops where you may buy food of all kinds, cooked or uncooked, hot or cold, fresh and tinned.You may buy, however, just so tiny quantities as you really wish, and have them delivered at your door as respectfully as if you had given an order of magnitude.If one grows lazy one may take to the restaurants, the Italian restaurants, both for cheapness and delicious fare ; but the best Italian restaurants only.A little enquiry and a little courage will put one on their track ; and it is still cheap living.- Service of the rooms is usually included in the rent.For a tiny fee in addition, and especially for a very tiny added graciousness of manner, one may get the bit of dishwashing and what not done.Let an Italian but find you \u2018sim- patica,\u201d and he counts no service too abundant for you.He puts, too, such generous Interpretation upon the least disposition to be courteous or kindly that it is your own fault if you are not found simpatica.Living in rooms, with our little fires, and our meals now cooked at home, now brought to us, now taken at restaurants, Half that of at RER s\u2019added to which we had all the pleasure.Their expenses ranged from six to eight francs a day ; ours from three to four.In addition we discovered other principles of economy.It is true we discovered them much as Columbus did whan, looking for Cathay, he found America.; (To be continued.) > Medicines, &c.~~ en No TNS > EN - ) = 2 s A Racking Cough Cured by Ayer\u2019s Cherry Pectoral.Mrs, P.D.HALL, 217 Genessee St.Lockport, N.Y., says: \u201cOver thirty years ago, I remember hearing my father describe the wonderful curative effects of Ayer\u2019s Cherry Pectoral.During a recent attack of La Grippe, which assumed the form of a catarrh, soreness of the lungs, accompanied by an aggravating cough, I used various remedies and prescriptions.\u2018While some of these medicines partially alleviated the coughing during the day, none of them afforded me any relief from that spasmodic action of the lungs whith would seize me the moment I attempted to lie down at night, After ten or twelve such nights, I was Nearly in Despair, and had about decided to sit up all night in my easy chair, and procure what sleep I could in that way.It then occurred to me that I had a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.I took a spoonful of this preparation in a little water, and was able to lie down without coughing.In a few moments, I fell asleep, and awoke in the morning greatly refreshed and leeling much better.I took a teaspoonful of the Pectoral every night for a week, then gradually decreased the dose, and in twe weeks my cough was cured.\u201d Ayer\u2019s Cherry Pectoral Prepared by Dr.J.C.Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass, Promptto act, sure to cure Medicines, &c.Professional.Groceries, Provisions, \u2018A BRILLIANT CAREER.AND ITS TOO FREQUENT SEQUEL.Few men in his native city had brighter propects than Frank L\u2014.Young, intelligent, educated, a keen business man, socially popular, and well settled in life, he gave promise of a useful and highly successful career.His business ventures were almost invariably crowned with success, and money flowed into his coffers.Other men in business envied him.But his very success proved the cause of his downfall.He soon became completely engrossed in his business operations to the exclusion of social pleasure, recreation, and even the pleasures of home.But presently hig friends began to note a singular change in the man.He grew {rritable, uneasy, often moody and morose.His manner became abrupt and repellant.His appearance also changed.From an erect and stalwart man he became gaun® and hollow-eyed.The constant mental strain was too much, and in a comparatively short time the man was a complete physical wreck.This is no fancy sketch.The case is a real one, and one of thousands similar.But there is a remedy within the reach of all whose physical system has been broken down by overwork.Hawker\u2019s nerve and stomach tonic 1s a perfect nerve restorer and tnvigorator, and blood and flesh builder, as well as a valuable stomach tonic and aid to digestion.It is a certain cure when faithfully used for all diseases arising from nerve exhaustion, weakened or impaired digestion, or an impoverished or impure condition of the blood, such as nervousness, weakness, nervous headache.sleeplessness, neural- gla, loss of appetite, dyspepsia, hysteria, and the prostrating effects of la grippe, or any nerve weakness of heart or brain arising from worry or overstrain of mind or body or excesses of any nature.Hawkers nerve and stomach tonic can be obtained from all druggists and dealers.Price fifty cents a bottle or six bottles for $2.50.21 DYSPEPSIA CURED ea o ANS MR.GEO.READ.Read the Proof.DmAR Srns.\u2014I write you to say that for some time I bad heen suffering from acute indigestion or dyspepsia, and of course felt very greai inconveniences from same in my general busi ness.1 thereupon decided to try Burdock Blood Bitters, and after taking two bottles i found I was quite another man, for B.B.B.entirely cured me.I have also used it for my wife: and family and have found it the best thing they can teke, and from past experience I hay: every pleasurein strongly recommending B.B.B to all my friends.Iwrite you because I think that it should Le generally known what B.B.B.can accomplish cages of indigestion.Yours faithfully, GEORGE READ, Sherbrooke, Que.R ICHELIET, Pure, Sparkling, Refreshing.TIE PRINCE OF TABLE WATERS.Recommended by the leading Physicians.For Sale at the Clubs, Hotels, Restaurants, and tha leading Grocers.J.A.HART, Pruggist, | 718 NOTRE DAME & 335 37.CATHERINS £T Telephones : 1190-3540.: DUSART'S WINE!

PROMOTERS.THE PETITION OF THE GOLF CLUB.The petition for a botanic garden on Mount Royal came before the Mount Royal Park Committee on Friday last, and was immediately shelved without opposition.At the same meeting the petition of the Golf Club was considered, and its further consideration was adjourned until the committee has visited the proposed site.Both the petition for a botanic garden and the petition for a new Golf Club ground on the mountain were, it will be remembered, before the late Mount Royal Park committee and left undecided at the time of the late civic elections.The two questions therefore come before the new committee again end what it is asked to do it will be of interest to restate.The city of Montreal, throungh the City Council, in response to & petition signed by a large body of influ- is asked to t te PO Un the purposes of a botanic gardén and to further endorse the scheme by an annual grant towards its maintenance.The plece of land the city is asked to grant is known as the Old Davidson \u2018property, end is bounded by Cote des Neiges and Shakespeare roads\u2014imime- diately beyond the \u2018Donald Ross\u2019 property.This piece of land, while under the Park Commissioners,has never been merged into the park for park purposes,but is at present lying waste.It comprises about fifteen acres, but adjoining properties might easily be purchased and acquired to form an area of about sixty acres.The peti- toners believe this piece of land to be the best sted to the purpose within reasonable reach of the city.A charter has already been granted by the Provincial Government for a \u2018Montreal Botanic Garden Association\u2019 but this charter will now have to be renewed in an altered form to cover the new scheme.It will be an incorporated body comprising a governing board amd representatives of the city and other \u2018interested institutions.The promoters consider the formation of e botanic garden to be of great importance to the citizens of Montreal and the inhabitants of the Province of Quebec in promoting forestry interests and extending a general knowledge of useful vegetable products in their application and economic purposes as well as promoting general educational interests.The land, if granted, might either be held on lease at a nominal rent or in \u2018trast for the city.The pro- ; ~~ tin , who include 450 of the best citizens of Monitreal and the Province of Quebec, clafm that the Provincial Government is anxious for the foundation of a botanic garden, and will render it very material assistance; they also assert that many rich private citizens will further its prosperity.It is proposed, in the event of the land being granted, to project a series of glass houses in which will be grown typical forms of tropical and sub-tropi- cal plants, while plants from all parts of the world which would grow in this Jatitude would find a place in the gardens, properly labelled and classified, to form an object lesson of the vegetation of other lands.Those favoring the \u2018Montreal Botanic Gardens\u2019 scheme point to the almost universal prevalence of such gardens in \u2018tHe cities of the United States and the continent of Europe, and to the unanimously expressed opinion of all who have studied their influence upon the population, that these institutions are large factors in the cultivation of the most desirable citizens.The gardens will be opened free to the public all the year round.The Golf Club have presented the fol- Jowing petition to the Mayor and Aldermen of the city,.and the members consider it a fair presentation of their position and the facts\u2014 \u2018The Royal Montreal Golf Club.which at present has the privilege under lease from the city, of using a portion of the park, including Fletcher's Field, desires to remove to another and more d portion of the park.This application is made, because each year the eastern side of the mountain is more crowded with holiday seekers, and more used for other games, such as football, lacrosse, cricket, etc., and the Golf Club desires to avoid any interference with the use and enjoyment of the park.The portion of the park now apphed for, has hitherto been devoted exclusively to farming purposes, and has not been open to the public, with the exception of a riding course.The Golf Club does not propose to interfere in any way with these rights of equestrians.The erroneous idea has been given to the public that the club proposes to trench in some way upon the privileges of the citizens, but nothing is further from its desire.The club is asking only for what has been granted to it by the city, for about tweuiy years past, viz.: the privilege of using a por- ton of the mountaln park, and for reasons already given it des'ros to go to a more distant locality, where the game would interfere with no one.To make this hay field fit to play upon they would require lo spenl a large sim cf money annually.It has been said that the mountain park is the people\u2019s play ground.There is ample room there for all, and it would be greatly to the benefit of all clubs if each game had its allotted place, as Is done in public parks elsewhere.The Royal Montreal Golf Club, which has greatly imcreased in numbers of late years, and is rapidly growing, may now be said to be thoroughly representative in its membership, of all the learned professions.of the mercantile commumity, and of men of leisure.A ladies\u2019 branch club has also been formed, and numbers over elghty members.By special authority it has obtained the name of the \u2018Royal Montreal Golf Club\u2019 and is dvw incorporated.It desires to point out, respectfully, that the game of golf is spreading with unexempled rapidity in England, Scotland, France, and also in the United States of America.As already stated, this game has been played on Mount Royal Park for about twenty years with the sanction of the city, and, it is believed, the game Was practised here long before it appeared in any other place on the continent.Hardly any city of the importance of Montreal, in Great Britain or Ireland, is without Its golf club.In many of these cities the clvic authorities provide the ground.in many, also, the ground is kept in order by and at the expense of the city.The city of Edinburgh provided and malntains at its own cost extensive golf grounds outside of its limits, expressly for the use of golfers, and during the year 1883, 85,000 persons played over the grounds.In Central Park, New York, the city sets apart special portions of the park for lawn tennis, base-ball, cricket and other games, and, moreover, keeps the ground in order and furnishes attendants at the charge of the revenues of the park.The Royal Montreal Golf Club has never asked nor received any assistance from the city except the use of a portion.of the park and one of the rangers\u2019 houses, for which it paid rent, and has always kept the ground it used in order at its own expense, for which a heavy annual charge was incurred.The Royal Montreal Golf Club proposes to cut ST Por Sas a ap r, sire to use, and | its success as a club will be for the benefit of the city, not only as making it a more attractive place of residence to persons of leisure, but as providing a healthful exercise for busy men.BY granting the golf club's request a large additional space of the park will, without cost to the city, be thrown open, from which the public is at present excluded.What the club asks for interferes with no privilege of the public\u201d, It is further stated that no ground of sufficlent area for the game of golf is available within the city limits, excepting the park grounds.The game of golf takes two hours to play, and the Mnks require an area of from 50 to 100 agres.The club could not purchase a suitable piece of ground of this size near enough to the city to enable its members to play upon it daily, and, therefore it is necessary to use some part of the park grounds .ce IN THE EXCHEQUER COURT.There was a sitting of the Exchequer Court in the city yesterday, when four cases were called up before Judge Burbidge.The first case heard wus that of Filion vs.the Queen.This is a dlaim of $5,000 by the father of a young man named Amedee Filion, who was killed by the fall of a derrick while working at the Lachine canal repairs.The next case was that of Robert Healy vs.the Queen.This is a claim in commection with the opening of the Soulanges canal.A portion of the plain- tift's farm at Coteau du Lac was expro- priatea and the Government tendered him $1,600 indemnity.Healy sets his claim at $2.500 at least, and hence the present action.There are two more cases on the roll, that of Hausen vs.the Queen, and that of Sinclair vs the Queen.The first is a claim for some $7,000 against priation in connection with tie Lachine drain, and the other is as to whether certain goods which were at first ad- afterwards charged, should be taxed.PT A HEARTY SEND OFF.Mr.D.A.McPherson, ex-president of the Corn Exchange Association, and Mr.A.J.Brice, the well-known produce exporter, left on Monday for a three months\u2019 business trip to England.A large number of the members of the Corn Exchamge saw them off at the Bomaventure station.But not only were the members there, but the occas gion was enlivened by the appearance of a brass band and the pipes, which poured forth in cheering strains \u2018For They are Jolly Good Fellows,\u201d and \u2018Highland Mary.There was some dancing of the hormpipe, in which several prominent grain men tried a foot.Amid rousing cheers and numerous good wishes for a happy journey and safe return, the train moved off.It was @ right jolly good parting.\u2014_\u2014 THE COMPANY NOT TO BLAME.Judge Davidson rendered judgment on Monday, in the case of Mullins vs.the Ogdensburg Coal and Towing Company.Plaintiff was employed in unloading coal from defendant\u2019s barge \u2018England\u2019, and while work was suspended so as to move the barge a few feet,Mullins fell through an open hatchway and sustained serious injuries, for which he claimed $500 damages by the present action.The court held that no negligence or want of precaution on the part of the company had beef proved, and dismissed the action.pp IN THE COURT OF APPEAL.The announcement was made in the Court of Appeal, on Monday, that an adjournment would take place on Thursday afternoon, until Tuesday of next week.Cases will then be heard for two days, and judgments will be rendered on Thursday, March 29.The members of the Bar were requested to take advantage of this opportunity to help the Court to clear the roll.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 MOTIONS IN REVIEW.In the Court of Review yesterday Mr.R.C.Smith presented a motion for judgment according to the verdict in the libel case of Pelland vs.the \u2018Star.\u2019 A motion was also made by defendant for judgment in his favor, and argument on both

STRUGGLES\u2014 HE FREED HIS NATIVE OOUNTRY FROM THE FEUDAL SYSTEM AND WAS OBLIGED TO FLEE, Turin, March 20.\u2014Louls Xossuth, thre Hungarian patriot, died at 11 o'clock to-night.His son, sister and other relatives were present when he died.He passed away holding the hand of the Hungarian Deputy Karoly.The agony of his last moments was ex- terred in Genoa, near that ui his daugh- author, will deliver a funeral oration in the name of Italy.The obsequies by a great gathering of Hungarians.Lajos, or Louis Kossuth, ex-Governor of Hungary, was born on April 21, 1802, Scharasehpatack, whre he qualified himself Tor the profession of an advocate, and as such sat in the Comital Assembly.At the age of twenty-seven he took his seat in the National Diet of Presburg, as representative of a magnate.HE published reports of the proceedings of this assembly on lithographed sheets, until they were suppressed by the Government, and afterwards in MS.circy- lars.\u2018The Government, which determined not to allow reports of Parliamentary debates to become current in Hungary, prosecuted him for high treason, and in 1839 he was sentenced to four years\u2019 imprisonment.After about a year and a half of confinement he was liberated under an act of amnesty.In January, 1841, he became chief editor of the \u2018Hirlap,\u2019 a newspaper published at Pest.His influence with his countrymen steadily increased umtil, in March, 1848, he entered Vienna with a deputation to urge the claims of his country upon the Government, and returned to Presburg as Minister of Finance.Under his influence the internal reforms which he had advocated were carried out ; the last remains of the oppressive feudal system were swept away, and the peasants were declared free from all seigniorial claims, the country undertaking to indemnify the landlords.The Diet was dissolved and a new Diet summoned for July 2, by which Kossuth was created Governor of Hungary, and he held that post during the civil war of 1848-49.After the efforts of the Hungarians had been crushed, mainly by the aid of Russian armed intervention, Kossuth was compelled to retire to Turkey.He reached Schumla with Bem, Dembinski, Perczel, Guyon, and 5,000 men, and was appointed a residence in Widdin.Austria and Russia wished the refugees to be given up, in which case they would probably have been executed.Through the inter- ven'tion of England and France, the demand was refused.The late Sultan behaved with great humanity and disnter- estedness on the occasion.The refugees were removed to Kutahia, in Asia Minor, where they remained prisoners until Aug.22, 1851.Kossuth left Kutahia on Sept.1, and after touching at Spezsa, called at Marseilles, but was refused permission to travel through France.Having been hospitably received at Gibraltar and at Lisbon, he reached Southampton on Oct.28 sajled for the United States on Nov.21, and made a tour, agating in favor of Hungary.He soon returned to England, where he resided for some years, occupying himself chiefly in writing for newspapers and delivering lectures against the House of Hapsburg.One of the occasions on which his name was brought prominently before the public was in 1860, when the Austrian Government instituted a successful process against Messrs.Day & Sons for lithographing several millions of bank notes for circulation in Hungary, signed by Kossuth, as governor of that country.In Nov., 1861, he published in the \u2018Per- severanza,\u2019 an Italian journal, a Yong letter, setting forth the situalon of Hungary and urging the Italians to commence war against Austria, with the view of enabling the Hungarians \u2018to develop their strength against that power; }ssued an inflammatory address to the Hungarians on June 6, 1866, and after the close of the war of that year, advised the Hungarians to reject the concessions offered by Francis Joseph.He was elected deputy for Waitzen, Aug.1 1867, but declined to accept office.In

to the Countess Szapary, April, 1875, M.Kossuth was living in an \u201cthe auspices of .Clan much of his time to science, and he published a paper on the \u2018Farbenverande- rung der Sterne\u2019 in 1871.In Nov., 1879, he lost his nights as a Hungarian citizen, the Chamber of Deputies having adopted a bill declaring that any native of the country who voluntarily resided abroad for an uninterrupted period of ten years should lose his civil status.The Extreme Left violently opposed the measure, accusing the Government of levelling it directly against Kossuth, but it was finally carried by 141 votes to 52.Kossuth was engaged for several years in writing his \u2018memoirs,\u2019 the last volume of which appeared in 1882.Reports from Turin, where the aged Kossuth Lved lately, stated that\u201d he was fn extreme straftened circumstances.The Buda-Pest \u2018Athenaeum,\u2019 the establishment where his writings were published, offered to send him an advanced payment of 3,000 fl.in anticipation of future work; but Kossuth declined the proffer- od assistance, saying that at his age he could g not feel sure of being able to complete the writing if begun, and that it would, therefore, not be right for him to accept the money.His residing abroad was the subject of discussion in the Hungarian Parliament in 1890.MEETINGS AND SOCIETIES.OLAN GORDON, O.S.0.The last social of the season under Gordon, No.71, Order of Scottish Clans, was given in -Glenora Halle, on Monday evening, Past Chief C.G.Black presiding.The Misses LOUIS, KOSSUTH.Lafham gave a plano duet with good effect, while the appearance of little Peggle and Charlie Black in a dialogue entitled \u2018Dolly\u2019s Doctor,\u2019 greatly delighted the audience.Mr.Harley as Baillie Nichol Jarvie, in a scene from \u2018Rob Roy, displayed his usual dramatic ability.Mr.Nichol sang \u2018Flora Macdonald's Lament,\u201d Mr.R.H.Morrison \u2018Let me Like a Soldier Fall; Mr.Brown, \u2018McGregor's

unanimously passed to those who had assisted the Clan in its socials during the past season.ST.SIMON\u2019S OHUECH.A young péoples assoclation was formed on Monday nizht in connection with \u2018this church, with the following as officers: President, the rector; vice-pre- sident, Mr.T.B.Holland; second vice- president, Miss Tweedie; secretary- treasurer, Mr.Harry Greenbank; lecture and concent committee: the Rector, Miss Tweedie, Mr.Harry Greenbank, \u2018Mr.Ernest Hayman and Miss Searles.General committee: Messrs.Thomas Light, Johnson Gear, Thomas Hodson, Arthur Searles, Miss Mary Tweedle, Miss Gear, Miss Lily Tweedie, Miss Louisa Searles and others.It was resolved to hold fortnightly meetings, with lectures and concerts alternately; the first concert to be held on April 3.The Rev.Mr.Massey addressed the young people present, on the importance of combining together to do good, for.that was the happiest thing in life, He knew that well, from a long and happy experience.He hoped for much good from their new organization for young people were the hope of the Church and the hope of the nation.WOMEN AND THE LAW.The legal position of women in this province with reference to laws governing the family was the subject brought before the Women's Club on Monday afternoon by Mr.Percy Ryan.Mrs.Robert Reid introduced the lecturer.After giving a sketch and analysis of the growth and history of law as being necessary to an intelligent understanding of its relations to our public and private lire, Mr.Ryan entered on the main subject of his address.Our law relating to women, he said, though, antiquated, nevertheless sighaldzes a great progress upon former times.Spinsters and widows over twenty-one years of age are practically upon an equality with men, but married women are placed under heavy disabilities in favor of \u2018their husbands.Mr.Ryan considered first, the position of the weman in the family of her father under his control, and later, when she becomes free from parental authority.Secondly, her position in the family of her husband; and thirdly, her position AdQuring widowhood.Until a woman is twemity-one she is under the control of her parents.During minority she may acquire property, buy, sell, etc., but the contract is not binding on her.She is liable for any damage caused by her positive act to an- When the age of twenty-one is

As to the effects of marriage upon woman's legal standing, the age fixed by Roman law and the Code Napoteon, | at which women may marry is twelve! yearns, the consent of the parents being necessary.The duty of obedlence is limited by the abuses of the husband, when a personal separation may be ordered by the Court.The husband can compe! the wife to live with him; but he must treat her with respect and consideration.He is obliged to receive her, and furnish her with the necessaries of iife according to his rank, means and condition.The heaviest disability of the married woman is her absolute incapacity to contract in any shape or form.or to accept any civil charge.For all legal contracts she must obtain her husband's authorization.If this 18; withheld without reason, she may apply to a judge.Therefore mo promissory mote made by a married woman is of value.The education of the children is the exclusive power of the husband irreapective of any clauses in the marriage contract in regard io this.The wife must follow the husband where- ever he goes, if he so requires it.With her widowhood a woman regains full civil capacity, limited only by the will of her dead hushand.A common clause is that they forfeit the revenue from the husband's esiate upon re-mar- rlage.This is to protect the property nights of the orphan children.Mr.Ryan\u2019s lecture was a clear exegesis of the subject and was heard by an appreciative audience.\u2018OLD SCHOOLS.\u2019 The Rev.Prof.Campbell, LI.D., is to lecture on \u2018Old Schools\u2019 at Melville Church, Cote St.Antoine, on Friday, March 30, for the benef t of \u2018the mission band of the church, which has done much good charl- table work during the past winter, among other things supporting a cot in the hospital and clothing and maintaining an orphan.The latest effort is directed towards sending clothing and necessaries to North-West missionaries for distribution among the Indians.THE TOY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.The date of this concert has been fixed .for Tuesday, April 3.Judging by the sale of the reserved seats, the concert will be a great sucoess.The toy orchestra, which is composed of thirty-seven instruments, is the largest ever heard in Canada.They will give Haydn's \u201cToy Symphony,\u2019 and it is said that it will be done in a way that would do credit to professional musicians.For the last two months, the Toy Orchestra has been practising for this concert and Montreal music-lovers will undoubtedly have a treat.Besides Haydn's \u201cToy Symphony\u2019, beautiful solos will be given on the different instruments, among which the cuckoos, nightingales, quails, and silver bells deserve special mention.In addition to the toy instruments, there will be two grand pianos, a large organ, and : scme violins.It is quite worth going to hear music of this kind.It ds very seldom one has an opportunity to hear a large toy orchestra and all who like good music should be at this concert.PROTESTANT WORKINGMEN.The regular monthly meeting of the United Protestant Workingmen's Benefit Society was held on Monday in the Engineers\u2019 Hall, Craig street, Mr.John Cunningham, president, in the chair.After some routine business was transacted, Mr.William Seale, treasurer, presented his report for the past month, showing a balance on hand, after paying sundry sick benefits, &c.of 396.59.Several amendments to the by-laws relating to officers were read for the second time and will come up again at the annual meeting in the second week in April.The present officers remain in office till that meeting.THE INDUSTRIAL ROOMS SALE.The Industrial Rooms\u2019 sale is well worthy of encouragement, as its purposes are philanthropic.The ladies at the head of the institution give out work to elderly ladies who need it, and they are thus able to earn a livelihood.To carry on the work it is necessary to hold periodical sales of the articles made, and here is where the general public finds a chance to assist by making purchases of well made clothing, etc.The stock, which is now on view at the rooms on Dorchester street, east of Bleury, is large and good, the coarser articles being valued at $4,000.Monday was the opening day, and was fairly satisfactory.Some friends purchased some clothing for the Labrador Mission and the Protestant Hospital for the Insane at Verdun.The sale is continued until to-day, when it Is hoped that all the stock will be sold.This is an exceptional oppontunity to help a good cause and save the pocket at the same time, for a discount of 20 percent is being made on the coarse articles, and from five to ten on the fine.STAINERS\u2019 CANTATA.Sir John Stainer\u2019s sacred cantata \u201cThe Crucifixion\u2019 was performed on Monday evening in St.George's Church, before a large and appreciative congregation.After prayers, the Very Rev.Dean Carmichael, reminded the congregation of the solemnity of the theme of the cantata, asked them to abetain Irom the usual marks of applause.The cantata was then worthily rendered by chorus, soloists and organist.Tha tendy solos were rendered by Mr.Stewart Blandford, and bass by Messrs.C.D.White and H.E.Midgley.Mr.Percival J.Illsley, Mus.B., presided at the organ.The Lord Bishop dismissed the congregation with prayer and benediction -at the conclusion of the ora- tordo.BALLOT
