is to be afflicted\u2014uniess the police act very promptly\u2014with one of the worst gambling schemes that was ever invented by a class of men who prey upon the gullibility of trusting people, namely, \u2018policy shops,\u201d which have been such BORTLY - aif = ; These shops became sucn a nuisance in Boston and New York, and had ruined so many that nearly all the leading newspapers opened\u2019 a regular campaign against them and exposed them so fearlessly that the police took the matter up and arrested several policy-shop runners, and after a bitter legal fight,\u2014in which the accused threw every obstacle in the way of the law, they were convicted in Boston, New York and several other places of being owners of gambling resorts, and punished.The game was declared illegal and the police were ordered to stamp the fraud out.Policy\u2019 Is a most insinuating game; it not only fleeces the man of means who can afford to risk hundreds, but it appeals to the cupidity of the poor and unlearned; so that even the five cent piece of the street arab or bootblack is willingly accepted by the managers.The game is played with numbers and wheels.Every policy-shôp) has mot a wheel\u2014in a city there may only be two or three, but all the shops sell numbers for the drawing which takes place every afternoon.A bettor can choose any number, which is afterwaris registered by the man taking the bet,.who gives the bettor a receipt for his money with the number chosen stamped upon it and which of course, he devoutly hopes may be the lucky one.In some cases a prize is given to the man wbo comes near to the Wining Ck , 300 q So telogrd phed to -éiF thé a _ ax 7 Dé shops.- : \u2018 The winning numbers are chalked up on blackboards and are carefully scanned by the eager bettors, who stand with their numbers in their hands, inwardly beseeching fickle fortume to amile upon them.Somehow the game has the faculty of bringing out all tkat is superstitious in its patrons, who soon evince marked tem- dencies to believe in lucky numbers, lucky dates, dreams, or, in fact, in anything which they think may help them in choosing the number which will bring them ease and comfort for many years.For a long time number 41,144 was considered extremely lucky because 4 times 11 are 44.If a regular policy player was only fortunate enough to dream of a number he would bet his last cent upon it.Or if be happened to find that his age agreed with a certain date, etc., he would add the two together and hile to a policy shop.The game is known to be one of the greatest cheats ever invented.There are other ways of playing policy, but this way is considered the most pernicious.Policy shops are still to be found hidden away in quiet nooks and corners both in Boston and New York, notwith- S'anding the law against them.Yesterday a policy shop that had been driven out of Detroit by the police, was raided in Windsor, and several persons found in the place arrested, while the wheels, ete, Were unceremoniously hauled down and taken tn the police station.This is how POUCT shops are treated by the police in the United States.Two weaithy policy shop runners a few days ago arrived here from the United \u201ctates and after making enquiries among their \u2018friends\u2019 decided to open policy shops.They are now trying to find some quiet spots where the police will not be likely to molest them.It is to be hoped however, that the police will keep a sharp look\u2019 out for them ,and follow the example cf the Americn police in their dealings with such cheating concerns.Two Americans, who are thought Lo be \u201che policy shop men have opened accounts In the Montreal, Molsons, Merchants apd City and District Savings Banks.In each =f the banks they have banked consider- ~ble sums of money.It has also been lsrovered that before coming to Montreal thev called at a town in Ontario and deposited a large sum of money.It is \u2018aougklt they intend to open policy shops in several large Canadian cities and \"Wns.There is evidently money in it\u2014 for the operators.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 0 DISAPPEARANCE.: Mr.William McKay, of 72 Fortier street

RPS apy THE LATE DR.M'KNIGHT.Halifax, N.S., April 27.\u2014Dr.McKnight, principal of the Presbyterian Theological College, who died at his home in Dartmouth this evening, is sixty-eilght years of age.He came out from Scotland early in the fifties, and in 1855 succeeded Dr.King as professor of Hebrew in the Free Church College in this city.He tes in | or?OY iH DR.McKNIGHT.was also pastor of the Presbyterian Congregation of Dartmouth, from 1857 to 1868.In 1871, he became professor of theology in the Presbyterian College, of the United Presbyterian Church, of Nova Scotia, and in 1878 he became .principal.His connection with Presbyterian theological education therefore extends over a period of thirty-seven years.He was a man of great ability and ripe scholarship, an excellent preacher and well read in all departments of theology.In his manner he was most unassuming and was highly esteemed by both professors and students.His death is a great loss to the Presbyterian College.He had been ailing for about six weeks, but was able to attend to his professional duties till two weeks ago and was confined to his bed only about a week.MGILL EXAMS.APPLIED SCIENCE RESULTS \u2014 THE

government organs are still ask- After seventeen years of experience the farmers of Canada have.a very shrewd idea upon this subject, and they have embodied it in numerous resolutions condemning protection as a system which robs and impoverishes them.What the farmers are interested in now is not the question, \u2018who pays the duties,\u201d but the question \u2018who will reduce them.\u2019 Whoever will do so is the man for their money.0 THE NEW CHURCH.We print to-day an important contribution to the study of the question precipitated by Dr.Herron, namely, how far the admitted teachings and practice of Jesus are incumbent on Christians as the guides of their daily life.It sets forth the teaching of Dr.Herron as it has been grasped by a competent, careful and patient, though perhaps not entirely sympathetic, hearer.It is possible that our correspondent would have been rhetorically stronger if he had limited his criticism to some of the more obvious points, such as would have struck even casual listeners as being what they and everybody else heard Dr.Herron say.The important question, however, which our correspondent has doubtless put to himself, and which people cannot well help facing just now, is not, what did Dr.Herron teach, and what is its logical outcome when applied to practice ?but, what did Christ teach, and what is demanded by that in practice?Is the teaching and practice of the Church for twenty centuries an adequate interpretation of that teaching ?It is not overstating the facts to say that this question of accepting and obeying the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount and following\u2019 Christ's example has been à source of uneasiness to the Church throughout its history, and those marvellous sentences, instead of growing weaker as the world grows older, seem to have an ever clearer and more insistent ring.Any honest, earnest, arduous effort to preach and practise implicit obedience 3 Reo.Secr'y.REE eee iia g I Tgp act, vo SR fe, and he 1s our example, but then we \u2018ta mighty faith in good.to make his rulership absolute in each life and universal in all life, will command the sympathy of the Church.To convert the industrial and social system of the world into the Kingdom of God is Christlike in its object, whatever may be thought of the possibility of accomplishing it by rules of organization.To induce society and industry, which are denounced as tyrannical and atheistic organizations, founded upon selfishness, to renounce the principles of their very organization, and to substitute therefor principles of a diametrically opposite character, and therefore supposed to be destructive of the whole existing structure of society and Industry, is a task for heroic Christianity to undertake.The faith necessary for such a mission is of the kind that removes mountains.For ninsteen hundred years, while Christianity has gone forth conquering outwardly in the kingdoms of the world, the Church itself, by the silence which gives consent, has ignored the authority of the precepts of the Sermon on the Mount and the example of Christ's life as the law and example of conduct and life, which should be literally and implicitly obeyed.The Sermon on the Mount Is looked upon a \u2018counsel of perfection\u2019 beyond the obedience or the serious attempt of obedience of Christians.Life in the atmosphere of the Sermon on the Mount, Christians have tacitly declared, is no more possible to ordinary mortals than is life on the peaks of the highest of the Himalayas or the Andes, where the alr is too rare, too pure, to enable gross mortals to sustain life.True, Christ lived such a have said he was divine as well as human, and human beings can only aspire to the altitude of life lived by him.Here and there heroic souls have lived, and some are still living in the eyes of the world, by the precepts of the Sermon on the Mount, or have tried to do 80, and have attained a sort of unearthly character and glory thereby ; but the Gordons and Savonarolas and Mullers are few and far between, and it is, we comfort ourselves, owing to their origi- | nally fine characters that they are enabled to live as they do.To hope to move men in the mass to such a life when they have not seen thetd\u201d way clear to it as individuals, to believe that society and industry can be induced as organizations to die unto sin and be born again unto righteousness, must, if it be an intelligent hope, be born of a mighty desire for good and Those who believe, as most Christians do, that there is salvation through Christ for society and industry, which will come somehow, do wel! in getting to work.Practice is the true end of faith and the true test of doctrine.If a doctrine is true, the more those who believe it work upon it the more they will beleve it.The Institute for Christian Sociology which was formed on Monday evening of representative workingmen, of merchants and ministers, has for its avowed objects : (1) To for Christ's law the ultimate authority to rule social practice.(2) To study in common how to apply the principles of Christianity to the social and economic difficulties of the present time.(3) To present Christ as the living Master and King of men, and His kingdom as the supreme idea of human society on earth.There is nothing here that the churches object to, nothing that the churches do not try to .do.In so far as they recognize that they have falled in attainment will they look with interest to the new organization.The subjects of study set forth are as sacred as any that men can set before them.Possibly it is the treating of these things as secular that has left the Church so ignorant on questions of righteousness and so small a force in bringing about the reign of righteousness.claim \u2014_\u2014\u2014 FARMERS AND THE FAST STEAMSHIP SERVICE.The farmers of Canada are at last thoroughly awake and aroused to the evils worked to their interests by protection in all its forms, whether in the shape of high protective duties on imports or of money subsidies and grants to special interests or corporations.The Patrons of Industry, which is an association composed of two hundred thousand of the whole number of seven hundred and fifty thousand farmers in Canada, has taken a decided stand against the expenditure of the public money upon private and special carrying and manufacturing interests.A delegation of the patrons, in their.conference with the shipowners of this port in regard to the cheaper and ducts, voiced the interests of the whole agricultural community of the country when it declared that the association to which their members belong was opposed to the granting of any subsidy by the government.Their object In interviewing the shipowners was to obtain their assistance in opposing and preventing the subsidizing of the Huddart fast Atlantic steamship line, which the government is at present arranging.It is little wonder that the farmers and the people generally of Canada do not support a proposal to grant a subsidy of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year to a line principally occupied in a special passenger service, which would be taken advantage of chiefly by the wealthy classes of the United States.The journey of American passengers from American points, such as Chicago, Buffalo and New York, through Canada by fast spe- clal trains would benefit the Canadian railway corporations, but would be of no direct benefit to the people generally.Such a line might help to build up the transcontinental railway traffic and the Pacific steamship service of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, but the people of Canada think they have spent quite enough upon building up that corporation.As for the benefits which the fast service will be to the mails, that also is of little or no importance, as the steamship owners pointed out on Thursday to the Patrons of Industry, except to a very small class of the mercantile community of the country, and the first- rate mall service which Canada has at present by way of New York with Great Britain, by which two or three mails & Week are received, serves every reasonable purpose.The deputation was also told by the ship-owners that even it a subsidy of three-quarters of a million dollars a year was granted for a twenty-knot service there would be a deficit by the end of the year of at least half a million, even in case the steamships were fully occupied every voyage, which was, of course, extremely improbable, and that the fast steamship company would then be looking to the government for compensation for this immense loss.Of course, the government, in order to make its policy appear ¥ uccessful, would be inclined to throw gaod money after bad.It 1s, possible that the Huddart Company expect to receive a subsidy from the Imperial Government, which, under Lord Rosebery, is inclined to promote what is called the unity of the empire, but before Canada commits herself to such an expensive scheme the Imperial Government should be heard from.The steamship owners pointed out to the deputation that the steamships of ;the fast line would not carry grain or hay or any of the coarser products of the farmers.If, too, the cream of the \u2018carrying trade be taken away from the regular steamship lines by a specially subsidized fast line the former will have to charge higher rates on the coarser products in order to make their diminished business profitable.It should have been more thoroughly impressed than it was upon the minds of the deputation by the steamship owners that the transportation rates upon farmers\u2019 produce exported to Great Britain were necessarily made higher by protection, which, by diminishing and preventing imports, lessens the traffic between Great Britain and Canada, and takes away the profits on the westward voyage, thus compelling the steamship owners to charge upon the freights going eastward rates high enough to yield a profit upon the whole round trip.Of course, the steamship owners did, not forget to tell the farmers\u2019 deputation that this port was the large number of government charges and tolls upon shipping, both ocean and inland.But the farmers should remember that if these charges are done away with they will be compelled to pay by taxation the revehues necessary to meet the expenditures which are at present met by the charges which the steamship owners complain of.The products of the farmers of the Western States get far more of the benefit of the reduction of the tolls than do those of the farmers of Canada.The outcome of the conference was that the Patrons of Industry are to receive all the aid the steamship companies can afford them in their opposition to the subsidizing of the Huddart line.A sort of understanding seems to exist that the steamships will give the farmers such cold storage accommodation as they require for perishable goods, and will grant them more fevorable traffic rates than they have hitherto received, in return for which the patrons promise to urge upon the government that a money subsidy shall be granted for a fast freight line, to the teaching and laws of Christ.and better transportation of agricultural pro- STIR ise Ee Gs AAA en rather than for a passenger line, secte e- sien en Og ; ae 2 ! A DOLLAR A YEAR.When times are hard they are hardest for missionary societies and kindred objects.People only feel called upon to give as they have been prospered, and easily quote the proverb that one should be just before he is generous.Neither of these aphorisms suggests any means of providing for the workers in the field : when the necessary retrenchments of home Christians, begin at the house of \u2018home Christians \u2018begin at the house of the Lord,\u2019 and wipe out their, At the present moment every missionary society in the world is in distress from this cause.Without speaking of enlarging their work, they are at their wits\u2019 end to provide for what they have already undertaken and families now depending on them.All thig while the average Christian at home has means to live in comfort, if not even in some luxury.Accounts of missionary privations from sheer lack of support reach us from time to time, such, for instance, as that of the Rev.Mr.Brick, a missionary on the Mackenzie river, published a few weeks ago in these columns, which only need to be read to make everyone ask him- Christian devotion.ing needs Apart from the cry- of existing missions, every forward movements, and mourns over open to the Gospel, for the failure to occupy which the Church tunity, and had even a business idea of the value of the investment, every one of these missionaries would have at command as much money as he could spend to advantage in pushing his work.The tial calamity, but a sin.In almost every mission field work entered into with hopeful devotion has to be relinquished for want of home support, and while there is no apparent lack of money for home expenditure there is so little feeling of responsibility with regard to the claims of missions that there economy than the easy-going people who do not.There is probably no one thing that Las so crippled the resources of missionary societies as the {dea that a dollur a year is, for the rank and file of church members, a suitable and proper, if not a liberal, subscription.If this idea could be entirely eliminated from the thought of the nineteenth century and the question be left an entirely open one, to be settled by common sense, a very different standard of giving would inevitably result.The churches are full of earnest people who want to do their duty, but many of these find even a dollar a year hard to give, and have no idea but that in giving that they have fulfilled every requirement.In the nature of the case the payment of a yearly subscription is to most people a difficult and painful task.By the time that a man on a salary has given the princely sum of a dollar a year to two or three different objects he is apt to feel that people are alwaws begging for something, and that a few more such applications would ruin him entirely.Such calls are sure to come at the very most inconvenient time, perhaps about Christmas time, when all the money is needed for presents, or about New Year's, when unexpected bills come in ; in spring or fall, when the family clothing needs to be renewed, or in summer, when the summer outing has to be provided for.In fact, the collector is exceptionally fortunate one of the causes of high rates from who does not ask for money just when i it is almost impossible for Mr.or Mrs.If under these Churchmember to give it.circumstances the dollar, which is the least sum which would entitle the giver\u2019s name to a place on the published list, is forthcoming, it is not surprising if it is not given very cheerfully, but rather as the apostle says, \u2018of necessity,\u201d if not grudgingly.The remedy for this state of things is very simple.It is to adopt the scriptural plan of giving weekly instead of yearly.This plan is found satisfactory for church support, and it cannot fail to be found equally so for mission funds.The apostolic rule, to lay by weekly a suitable proportion of the earnings of the week, should provide for missions and charities as well as for the home church.A regular weekly expenditure is easily provided for out of weekly receipts, but everyone knows that a call which comes only once a year is apt to produce a disagreeable surprise, because no provision has been made to meet it, and the giver often feels robbed because the sum which is reluctantly given had already been apportioned to some other purpose.humanly .9 self whether he is doing his share to- .ward meeting such obvious demands on ' missionary sees the possibility of great lost chances of reaching new

What is it you are suffering from?\u2018Well first of all, I am an awful liar, and can\u2019t tell the truth; secondly, I have lost my memory, and can never remember anything.\u2019 \u2018Oh, well, I can set you all right, if you will promise faithfully to take some pills I will give you which are quite harmless! you must chew each one.\u2019 \u2018I promise.\u201d Two pills were accordingly handed to the wit, who put one of them into his mouth rather reluctantly and began to masticate it.Re- Jecting it with a great deal of spluttering and a wry face, he cried out, \u2018You rascal\u2014 it is the most disgusting concoction I ever met with, and tastes like rancid fat!\" \u2018Right you are,\u2019 said the guack\u2014 that\u2019s the truth! Now I have cured vou of lying; and,\u2019 if you take the other pill to night, you'll pever forget it, and that'll cure you of your bad memory.\u2019 The workmen had their lavgh, but not at the quack\u2019's expense.WHAT OUR POET HAS TO PUL FR WITH, *80 \u2018glad to make your acquaintance, Mf!

experiments and writings on the subject of aeroplanes, has started up a number of enthusiastic fying-machine men, who are intent on imitating the bird, which Prof.Langley bas shown does not fiy with its wings, but soars on cushions of air.The old idea of flying through the air by means of artificial wings, has therefore, been discarded, by the fiying- machine enthusiasts, and they have substituted immense \u2018planes,\u2019 which they think will enable them to slide from place od «a ©.\u2014\u2014\u2014 Noe SILI DIX COTES > = ] \u201c= \u201cJOO snes sea «ouL 5\u201d HOW JAMES MEANS WOULD FLY.to place in the atmosphere without visi- bie movement.The latest of these to lay their ideas before the public, are James Means, of Foston, and Lieut.Geo.N.Chase, late of the United States army.Mr.Means starts out with the astonishing proposition that it is not lightness but weight that holds the key to the unselved mystery.Lead and other heavy metals are to enable him to fly.First he proposes to lift these weights to a great height by means of a balloon.Then they will be released, will proceed on their journey down an inclined plane of air at an.incredible velocity.This i= to be accomplished by .means of aeroplanes capable of being set at any angle.He would first lift his aeroplane by means of a balloon to a height of 1,000 feet, and he intends to carry freight as well as passengers, which, when present in sufficient quantity, will take the place of the lead and other ballast.When released, says Mr.Means, in the little book he has issued on the subject.the aeroplane will first make what he calls a deep downward \u2018swoop.\u2019 Coming nearly to a harizontal, it wil make only twenty-five miles per hour, but at a ¢lightly sharper Incline, the speed, be estimates, will be increased\u2019 to one hundred miles an hour.L This speed can be increaged, and Mr.Means says the only limit is in the ability of men to breathe when going at such a tremendous speed.He cites the Empire State express to show that men can safely breathe when travalling at the rate of nearly one hundred miles an hour.Mr.Means has invented the aeroplane.He conducted hig experiments during November of last year from the balcony of the tower of Boston light, and more recently from the top of the cliffs at Manomet.These were not completely successful, although he did not venture out on the aeroplanes himself.He says that the summit of Mount Willard, near the Crawford House, in New Hampshire would be a splendid place for a man to jump off in demonstration of his theories, and says he will stand by and watch the proceedings with interest.Here is an opening for some of the unemployed.Lieut.Chase was graduated from West Point, in the class of 1877, and his last active service was as aide-de-camp to the Commanding Generai of the Department of the East, on Governor\u2019s Island.He is now living at Eureka Springs, Ark In conjunction with H.W.Kirchner, a St.Louis architect, he has pertected what he call: the aerodromie system of transportation.This is to supersede railways.Lieut.Chase shows by an elaborate series of calculations that the great expense in running railways is going up grades and around curves.He proposes to abolish all curves.And he has devised a series of passenger coaches which are pointed at both ends so as to enable them to cut thes air.They have a double series of wheels and tracks, so as to prevent them from going up or down.The train is to be driven by electricity.Its weight is to be lifted from the track =, 7 =#| ro Ù 1 126 MILES AN HOUR BY THE ARRO- DROME SYSTEM.Id by a series of aeroplanes on top of each car, and capable of being set at any angle.Lieut Chase shows that these aeroplanes would be very useful in stepping the train suddenly when coming down hill by simply closing the shutters, - and thus presenting an immense surface to the air, which would act in place of brakes.He estimates that it would hardly require any more power to pull such a train up hill than to pull it on a level.As the track is to be elevated all the way, Lieut.Chase points out that there will be no danger from cows getting in front of the train, and that the horny handed farmer can sow his crops beneath it the same as in the open fleld.Neither can there be any snow blockades or washouts on the gerodromic railway, no tles to be replaced and no ballast to be kept in condition.Lieut Chase estimates that such a railway between New York and Philadelphia could be built for $125,000 per mile, and that the traffic would pay an annual dividend of ten percent upon an expenditure of $200,000 per mile, while the service could be quadrupled if the demand required it.Other facts and figures are presented in the work entitled \u2018The Coming Railway,\u201d which Lieut.Chase has Issued, that are expected to satisfy the curiosity of Wall street, and assure the financier that there is money in the scheme.For the benefit of the general public.and as {llustrative of tbe possibilities of the aerodromic rallway, Lieut.Chase concludes with this hopeful, poetic outburst: \u2018Journeying at 125 miles an hour, the traveller from New York would reach San Francisco inside of twenty-four hours.He could proceed to Paris via Behring Strait in actually less time ! than it now takes to cross the Atlantic.At this speed the fruits of California could be placed upon Eastern tables with their bloom unsullied, and their flowers with the dew still upon them!-New York \u2018World.\u2019 \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 qe EDISONS KINETOSCOPE.REPRODUCES SCENES AS THE PHONOGRAPH REPRODUCES SOUNDS.The Kinetoscope does for the eye what the phonograph does for the ear.It can reproduce a scene, showing the exact movements of the persons in it.The machine is not very formidable in appearance, being very little different from the nickel-in-the-slot phonograph.It is a sequal to the kinetograph, the in- MR.EDISON.vention of which was announced some time ago.The business of the kineto- graph is to take the pictures, and the function of the kinetoscope, which is an invention of Mr.Edison, is to display them to the eye, one after another, so rapidly that they all seem like one scene, with the flgures moving about as they do in actual life.A battery of cameras vor - - T J j rT = 2 ER pss EDISON'S \u2018BLACK MARIA.\u2019 that would take eighteen pictures a second was tried, but the human eye could easily detect when one picture went and another came on the screen.Mr.Edison discovered that in order to create the illusion of a stationary or continuous picture forty-six views would have to be presented every second, and every one of them would have to pause about the forty-sixth part of a second, SANDOW.and ther be replaced by the next one in the bundred and eigthy-sixth part of.a second.This is the rate at which the impressions are received by the kineto- graph, and reproduced by the kineto- soope.Suppose, for example, it were desired to show a man in the act of taking a step.While be was moving his feet threugh the air a number of pictures would be recorded, each one of which would show the feet and the whele of his body in a slightly different position, as the step progressed.The series of pictures would be passed before the eye so rapidly that only one pieture would appear, and there would be a perfect 1 reproduction of the step.The \u2018'kinetoscope runs about thirty seconds every time a nickel is dropped into it, and in that time, it will be seen, more than a thousand separate vietvs are slid under the little glass window in the top.The first éelebrity to have bis actions perpetuated by means of this machine was Sandow, the strong man.The picture shown only one of the many which illustrate his whole performance.The pictures taken are about\u2019 one inch by three-quarters of an inch in size.Mr.Edison expects to double the size, but the trouble is that the larger the picture is the greater the difficulty im making the change sapidly.The photographs are taken In a specially prepared - building which iz called the \u2018Black Maria.\u2019 Although it is only a toy at present, Mr.Edison has plans whereby, with the assistance of a stereopticon and a phonograph, be will reproduce a whole cen- cert, show or nublic meeting of any kind.THE MONTREAL DAILY

SHARPERS EXPOSED.(\u2018Scientific American.\u2019) Some time ago, under this heading, we briefly explained some of the methods practised by sharpers upon unsuspecting patentees, for whose benefit we will now repeat our remarks, and make a few additions.: When en inventor receives a patent his mame is immortalized in the \u2018Official Gazette,\u201d and he immediately becomes the object of attack from a horde of hungry aspirants for money, among whom are ex-clerks, patent brokers, and pretended legal lights of varying degrees.The patentee is deluged with circulars and letters from this class of gentry.Some write to inform him confidentially that his patent is good for nething; but on receipt of a certain fee they will set it right and make it sound as a silver dollar.Others pleasantly inform the new-fledged inventor that they have read his patent with great pleasure, consider it to be a very valuable invention.If properly introduced, much money could be realizéd.The State of Iowa, they say, is worth $50,000, Ohio $45,000, Pennp- sylvania $65,000, and so on.All that is necessary is to print some circulars aad do a little blowing, which the broker generously offers to do on the receipt of from ten to fifty dollars cash in advance.The $6.80 trick consists in honeyfugl- ing $4.80 from the inventor for pretended advertising and $1.50 on some other pretext.The division of the money into two items, they think, makes it easier to hoodwink the inventor.The whole amount is small; but victims are numerous, and the trick, oft repeated, yields in the aggregate, considerable swag.In general, the runners of such dens are \u2018scoundrels who, for dishonest practices, have been kicked out of other concerns.Advertising should be done by the patentee, in his own name and address.He thus makes the invention known to the public, receives the direct benefit of all replies, and his money does not go into the pockets of swindlers.Another shark writes to say that he has an actual offer of $10,600 for, the patent for Canada, provided- the patent is at once taken, which he will procure on receipt of the necessary money.It is almost needless to suggest that there schemes are designed to fleece the inventor.The so-called patent sellers rare ly effect a bona fide sale.They depend \u2018upon the advance fees obtained as above TEP RR for a livelihocd.Some of them bave thus grown rich and prosperous.These pretended sellers try to make it appear they are reliable by giving respectable references, and cite names of patentees for whom they claim to have sold patents.One mode of procuring these references is as follows: \u2014They write the patentee that they have a customer that will buy a county right in Minnesota for $500, and pay by deeding 26 acres of land in Arkansas, really worth $1,000, but the parties are so anxi- oug to obtain the patent right they are willing to let the land go, and take the right in settlement, provided $60 cash is paid, and a mortgage is given for $500.This done the patent broker closes the transaction, receives the $50 cash, which is the full value of the land, also receives a mortgage for five hundred dollars, together with the patent deed.At the same time the broker is carsful to cb- tain a written certificate from the inventor, stating, \u2018I take pleasure in saying that X.Y.Z.& Co., have sold a patent right for me at my price, and on terms satisfactory, and I recommend them,\u201d etc.In this way references are secured which make quite an impressive show .on circulars, while the inventor is so ashamed of having been so easily duped he keeps mum.One of the latest tricks is the following:\u2014The patentee receives a letter from A.& B.asking for how much he he will sell his patent for such and such a state.He replies, giving a price, say $5,000.The patentee soon after receives another letter from X.Y.Z.saying that A.& B.write they have corresponded with you, and now say they have determined to purchase the patent on terms named, provided the title and claims are found to be correct.To ascertain this, they require that X.Y.Z.shall examine and report upon the patent otherwise A.& B.will not purchase; that, if the patentee wishes to complete the sale, he must remit fifly dollars to pay for tbe examination, which is a work independent of the sale, and must be independently paid.The inventor sends the money, a report is made adverse to the patentee, no purchase is made, none was ever intended.A new edition of the same class of swindles is worked by a gang of cou- federates as follows:\u2014 One of the swindiers writes to the patentee asking if the patent has been disposed of.If not, he would like to correspond with a view to purchase or manufacture.Reply is made that thz patent is for sale.Then comes another letter from the swindler saying substantially: \u2018We have examined the invention very carefully, and, if you will furnish us with an opinion and report as to the scope and validity of your patent, we will, if same is satisfactory, make you an offer either for purchase or license on royalty.Our proposition will be basad entirely on the nature of the opinion or report.If you have not already a reliable opinion, we recommend D.& Co., (Diddlem) as moderate in charges for this class of work.Such patent rights as we buy must be bought at once, and it will, therefore, pay you to furnish the report without delay.\u201d The inventor then writes to the other members of the gang, Diddlem & Co., by whom the inventor is requested to send $50 to $100 cash, and the desired report will be furnished.Unsuspecting inventors easily fall victims .sav NE ee .il Lp ne Lunia OBER Fl And LECT ALR REE Nga TAT to this trick; the money is paid, and the tricksters, who never had any idea of buying the patent, divide the plunder.The patent-insurance dodge is another scheme for reiieving inventors of their cash.This purports to be a corporation for insuring inventors against infringements.By paying $8 cash within thirty days of the issuance of the patent, the concern undertakes to insure the paten- tee for one year against any infringement of his patent by other people, besides giving advice and services for which other lawyers charge anywhere from $250 to $10,000.There ts less chance of infringement during this period than that the inventor will be struck by lightning in winter.This is simply a scheme to do the inventor out of $8.There arz fraudulent foreign as well as home concerns calling themselves international agencies, etc., that dupe inventors in small sums ranging from $5 to $15 on pretence of securing Canadian and English protection; also bureaus that work prize tricks, $2,500 prize, tickets 35 to $70.A French trick played with much suec- cess on American inventors is the following: The new patentee receives by mail, from Paris, a flaming ornamental document of provisienal mernbership, which looks as if it came officially from the president of the famous academy of sciences, with a letter informing Monsieur le John Smith, of Snuffkinsville, Arkansas, Re- publique des Etats Unts, that the academy has observed with pleasure his invention for planting seeds, so important to agriculture; in view of which they have voted .to confer upon M.le Smith the honorable distinction of membership in the academy.M.le Smith will have the goodness to remit to the treasurer the nominal sum of fifty francs\u2014ten dollars\u2014to defray the cost of the parchment, framing, boxing and transportation of the diploma.These tricksters are said to draw considerable money from the United States.Another swindler writes to the new pa- tentee saying he has an offer of five thou- sard or ten thousand dollars for the Ca- radian patent; if the patentee wishes to realize, he must send $40 at once to pay for the Canadian patent.Such are a2 few of the adroit schemes now in vogue for patent swindling.We say to patentees, \u2018Beware of them all\u2019 They are simply traps to catch your money.To sell patents requires earnest, honest work; they cannot be sold by knaves who simply sit in their offices and send out lying circulars.Credulous inventors, however, can be cheated in that way.establishes the fact.There is no easy and royal road to the sale of a patent.It requires active effort and constant attention until it is effected.In general the patentee himself is the best selling agent, for he is familiar with the merits of the invention; but, if unable to act, then he should try by advertising or inquiry to seek out and emplov persons specially to travel, explain and sell; to do nothing else until the patent is disposed of; to pay their own expenses, and receive as compensation a commission of, say, fifty percent of the proceeds; or such other sum as may be agreed.Bills have been introduced in Congress to protect innocent purchasers of patents, î.e., infringers.Might it not also be well for somebody to formulate a law to protect innocent inventors?a rR ARIES sed 4 The success of so many tricksters ' SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1654 LIBRARIES THAT TRANEL BOOKS SENT FROM PLACE 71 IN ENGLAXNT.Pros A NOVEL WAY OF HILPI~ Ti

that it exercises all those masculine virtues which set the race where it is among the nations of the earth, and which but for such sport would rust from disuse; that if the hunter of big game takes ife, De often stakes his own against the lite he takes; and if he be one of the right sort, he never wastes his game.Incidentally.however, the hunter does a good deal for his race, and for the men who come after him; something for science, for exploration, and even for his worst enemy\u2014 civilization.In Africa, hunting and ex- pirration have gone band in hand; in America, the hunters have explored, settled and developed much of the country, replacing the buffalo with the Shorthorn and the Hereford; while in Irdia, not the least among those latent powers which enable us to govern our Asiatic fellow-subjects, is the respect won by generations of English hunters from the native shikaries and hillmen.BIRDS OF ONTARIO.An enlarged edition of Mr.Thomas Mellwraith's \u2018Birds of Ontario,\u2019 brought VD to date, is published by William Briggs, Toronto, in new, clear type, on Paper of good quality, with illustrations by Mr.Ernest E.Thompson, who has a high reputation as a painter of birds.For many years Mr.McItwraith has been tie acknowledged and official head of ornithology in Ontario.His frst edi- ton, published in Hamilton some years ago, was practically out of print it a few months, and there have been Liany enquiries concerning the work in This edition contains a C.acise account of every species of bird k2own to have been found in Ontario, tiree hundred and sixteen in all, with & description of their nests and eggs.It tells how the different species are dist.buted throughout the province and wlere they spend the breeding season.>-veral pages of the introduction are E.\u201cen to instructions for collecting birds 2.7 preparing and preserving skins, with d.réctions for forming a collection of 385.These instructions are quite mi- \u201cule and practical, but among those that fre of à more general character we may Site the following : recent years.Since bird collecting can be successfully ;-ariaed only by the use of the gun, let me the or the guidance of beginners, repeat No etlons so often given, to guard tor or accidents in its use.The excuse Tee-fourths of the mishaps which oc- man at Home,\u201d keeps up its interesting the April number are the Rev.S.Baring- Gould, Headon Hill, the Dean of Armagh and Sir George Douglas.article is an illustrated interview with Prof.Drummond.\u2014\u2014The \u2018Woman's Signal,\u201d edited by Lady Henry Somerset and Annie E.Holdsworth, is intended to be a record and review of woman's) cur is, \u2018Didn\u2019t know it was loaded.\u2019 but the safe way to avoid this is at all times to handle the gun as if it were known to be loaded, for in the Irishman\u2019s way of putting It, \u2018It may go oft whether it is loaded or not.\u2019 When in company with nthers, never, under any circumstances, allow the gun for an instant to be pointed | toward anything you do not wish to shoot.Never for any purpose blow into the muzzle, and do not have it \u2018on cock\u2019 till the moment you expect to use it.To approach birds without alarming them a2 mild form of deception is sometimes practised with edvantage.They have keen sight, sharp hearing, and are on the alert at all times to escape danger, so that a direct approach is almost sure to make them: take wing: but by walking as if intending to pass, and yet gradually slanting nearer, a better chance may be obtained.Birds- are used to the sight of horses and cows, and do not usually object to their presence near their haunts.I once knew en aged gunner who was aware of this fact, and for a time turmed it to good account.He lived on the Bay shore not far from Ham- flton, at a part of the beach which was a | favorite resort for curlews, plovers and sandpipers.His old\u2019 nag used to graze on the sward close by, \u2018and \u201cthe gunner got into ° the way of steering him by the tail till he was within shot of the birds, when he would step out from behind and blaze away without alarming \u2018Jerry\u2019 in the least.The same flock would :rærely be deceived twice, but fresh arrivals were sure to be taken unawares.'

Twenty minutes\u2019 for breakfast.\u2019 A confecerate camp was close to the station, and armed sentries paced to and fro.But Andrews did not hesitate.No sooner were Conductor Fuller, his engineer, and passengers seated in the station at breakfast, all but necessary duplicate sections, at 14,000,000.The cable \u2018ring\u2019 has fought the scheme with all possible \u2018ferocity: but \u2018the Pacific cable system will soon be in existence.\u2019 There is a real demand for it, for one thing, and there is every prospect of a satisfactory and growing traffic.The necessity for the section between California and Hawaii has been obvious and pressing for some time past.Had the cable been laid a year or so ago, the whole Hawaiian fuss would most probably have been averted.It isa trite and inaccurate saving that \u2018trads follows than two box cars connected with the train were uncoupled, the throttle of the engine \u2018General\u2019 pulled, and as the uncut bell rope gave a loud \u2018clang,\u2019 the raiders flew northward at full speed with thelr captured prize.\u2019 Then followed the great chase\u2019 of history.Conductor Fuller ran after the fugitives on foot, amid the jeers and laughter of the by-standers.But he carried the schedule of the road in his head and knew how far they could go without encountering the down trains.With indomitable pluck, and with the aid of a f hana car, he reached the \u2018Yonah,\u2019 an en- \u2018locomotive 4 gine at Etowah river, and immediately pressed on in pursuit.The raiders were delayed at Kingston Junction by entra south-bound trains, the road being blocked by confusion resulting from Mitchel's advance on Huntsville, and his near approach by armed train frown the west toward Chattarooga.Had the raiders captured their train the day previous, Friday, as prearranged, they would doubtless have succeeded, Bur, the delays at Kingston and elsewhere were fatal.Fuller and the pursuers obtained the powerful engine \u2018Texas\u2019 from tbe Rome train, and foliowed at the rate of a mile a minute.The race to Rescea, where the first bridge should have been burnt, was the most thrilling locomotive chase on record.Dut owing to the rains and the cioseness of pursuit, all efforts to destroy the bridges and impedes the tracks were futile.Near Ringgold the raiders were obliged reluctantly to abandon their engine, the \u2018General,\u2019 for lack of water and fuel.Pursued through the woods by armed men and bloodhounds, they were all captured.Seven of them were \u2018courtmartialled at Knoxville, and | executed, June 18, 1842, at Atlanta.Eight others overpowered their jailers and escaped, October 16.The remaining six were exchanged March 16, 1863.Andrews, their leader, was executed alone, at Atlanta, June 7, 1862 \u2014\u2018Railway Review.\u2014e MR.ALEXANDER BUNTIN.A change in the firm of Buntin, Reid & Co., has resulted in Alexander Buntin acquiring the business, of which he is now sole proprietor and manager.Although not yet thirty years of age Mr.Buntin has control of one of the largest printers\u2019 and stationers\u2019' supply establishments in Canada, and has a quarter in- \u2018terest in the Valleyfield papef mills, which, with his mother\u2019s half interest, gives him virtual control.Both of these came to him through his father, who passed away last year after being owner of the Valleyidleld paper mills for about forly years and partner in the paper | and stationery business of Buntin, Reid J MR.ALEX.BUNTIN.& Co., Toronto, for a long period.But while this property came mostly thus, Mr.Buntin 13 a young man whose business methods and aptitudes are such that it will multiply quickly in his hands.Like his father, he was trained on board ship, and like every sallor he knows tbe value and benefit of systom.His ideas are clear-cut, and, having ample courage to trust to his ideas, he is rapidly using them to make the business under his control feel all the benefits to be derived from the exact workings of a well-de- vised system.Mr.Buntin\u2019s varied career is somewhat out of the ordinary.Born in 1865, In Montreal, he went to Craigmount College, in Edinburgh, at eight years of age.In 1878 he returned to Canada and spent a year at Bishop\u2019s College, \u2018 Lennoxville, and some time at Kingston Collegiate Institute.Then the sailor blood of his forefathers took him to Edinburgh in 1881, and into the naval classes.Soon afterwards he served two years as a midshipman, but left the theoretical business and went ag a sailor before the mast on a vessel trading between Great Britain and Australla.In 1889 he retired with his second officer's certificate and a stern training which will stand him in good stead in the extensive business under his control.After spending a short time on a cattle ranch in the west to restore his health, he went to.Valleyfield and commenced -to learn paper making under George Lay.Mr.Buntin succeeded to his father's share in the Buntin-Reid business in July, 1893, and on the first of March of the present year he /bought out.Mr Reid's interest in.the business and has all now entirely under his own control.Mr.Buntin bas no brothers, but four sisters, all married.,Personaliy be is a pleasant gentleman te meet, but his remarkable training has left its impres- sions upon him in sueh a way that to meet.him is to feel that one has met a | man as strong and unfijnching aw the oaken decks on which he spent his early days of manhood.Since Mr.Buntin's advent in Toronto this unflinching adherence to what he be- lleves to be just and proper has made him well known and much talked of.The restricting of credits which has taken place in the printing and stationery trades has been due in considerable measure to him.His policy is to reduce bis business to a thirty-day basis, and to have one price and one set of terins for all customers.He desires that all sball have equal and just treatment.Knowing that quick payments mean a more rapid turnover of capital, he sees in this method a means to enable him to sell on closer margins.and be is determined that such advantages shall be his and also the trade's to which he caters.With closer margins ard shorter terms, the printing and stationery trades would be brought into an improved condition, and one which would be less conducive to failures.Reckless giving of i credit creates a recklessness on the part of those to whom credit is given and prices are slashed in every manner and irection, entailing great loss on both the honest and the dishonest dealer.This is not theory, but these statements are founded on experiences of the past.The printing trade, especially, has been rauch benefited by Mr.Buntin\u2019s strict enforcement of shorter credits.But Mr.Buntin has reorganized his business in other ways, He has introduced a better and more thorough system irto the keeping of stock, the display of the same, and into the office management.Business men without system are like sailors without compasses.A Bys- tem in everything saves a large amount of waste and enables twice as much business to be done with the same labor and same expense.It prevents the innumerable leakages which every business is likely to feel unless carefully managed.It enables the proprietor of a business to search out {ts weak spots and ite mouldering branches.It enables him to discover its diseases and apply the proper cures.It is the great well-spring of progress.\u2014 Toronto \u2018Printer and Publisher.\u2019 \u2014> A WOMAN AS

WHISKERS.(New York \u2018World.\u2019 William Wabl, aged thirty-one, is suing his cousin, Herman Wahl, in the New York Court of Common Pleas, for $5 000, which he claims is the value of his whiskers that Herman in a fit of anger pulled out by the roots.William's whiskers were his particular pride.They were luxuriant Pefferian affairs that reached all around the lower part of his face, and were of that dreamy hus one sees in the waning hours of the day in the sentimental Indian summer.Zephyrs tbat were wafted aimlessly throughout the land seemed by some indescribable 1n- stinct of their own to course through the hirsute beauties.In the dismal storms of winter the hurricanes that shrieked far out at sea were merely anticipating, as it were, there opportunity to trickle with a s-h-h-h-h through the o¢ld-gold adornments of Wahl's manly face.But the whiskers are gone.In bis affidavit William teTls that be lost them on the fateful evening of Aug.8 wlen in company with his cousin Herman, he had been to a ball.As they wandered home in the early morning, Herman, who keeps a grocery store, chided Willlam for not buying his supplies from him.William alleges that when he returned an evasive reply his cousin set upon him, etriking him several heavy blows.Not content with this, he wound Willlam's glosey whiskers about his fingers, and proceeded to pull large bunches of them cut by the roots.The tresses were thrown upon the sidewalk, and to cap the climax of the indignity, so William says, his unfeeling relative proceeded to dance upon them.Torn and bleeding, William went home and gaved in sadness on the ruina of his beloved whiskers.In order to make things half decent, he was forced to have the whole business cut off, and gince that time the whiskers refuse to grow.Where it was torn out by the roots there are ugly scars, which disfigure the face.William spends much time in court with his attorney.He is armed with bunches of the ruined whiskers and a set of before and after photographs to display to the jury.

to the letter the precepts of the Sermon on the Mount.and particularly\u2014that if temptation shall enter by the eye, to have the right eve at once taken out by a surgeon; and if it enters by the hand, to have the right hand at once amputated above the wrist\u2014the expenses of those operations, and of any disability for work that may ensue, to be borne by the Society.They will also pledge of

to-morruw's issue, or in the case of a storekeener, to buy any more goods than he can sell the same day.7th.And, finally, that all members of the Society, whether ministerial or otherwise, pledge themselves to withdraw from any church which is founded on the principle that men are unregenerate and need salvation, and that only such as are (sald to be) regenerate and converted\u2014or desire to be\u2014should be members.N.B.\u2014No capitalist or owner of property of any description to be admitted to membership, unless he declares his wiling- ness when called on to part with all his property for the common good of the Society.In further pursuance of the above objects, and to carry out the principles of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, who abhorred Dualism es a doctrine of Devils, it is resolved, (1) That in the operations of the Society, the distinctions between sacred and secular, be absclutely abolished.That all distinctions between one day ard another be done away, and especially tbat there shall no more be any Holy Day or Sabbath.The Seventh Day to be set apart as a day of Work, Recreation and Worship.That the Churches be used henceforth as places of instruction and recreation, as well as worship, and that along with the bible, the works of other inspired authors, such as Shakespeare, Bacon, Burns, George Eliot, Herbert Spencer, Rousseau, John Stuart Mill and Dr.Herron, shali have an equal place.But the works of Wesley, Calvin, Jeremy Taylor, and all other theologians, shall be absolutely excluded, it being manifest that they are full of superstition.(2) That on the first day of every month the evening session of every Church shall be a dramatic performance, and on the second, a concert, in which (so called) sacred and secular music shall be alternately played or sung.The third and fourth to be devoted tp lectures and discussions on political economy, the ownership of land, cooperation, the wage system, and kindred subjects.(3) The morning sessions of the Church to be devotional and religious.But, inasmuch as our honored brother and founder has declared that higher feelings of devo- ton are fostered by the operations of Machinery than by what has hitherto been deemed religious exercises, such as Prayer, the singing of Psalms and Hymns, and reading out of one book, that each Church shall provide itself with a Carpenter's bench, a Blacksmith\u2019's anvil, a Gang-saw, a Weaving and Spinning Machine, and other suitable mechanica: appliances (steam power to be applied from tke basement).And that on the first and last Sundays of the month, the devotional exercises shall consist of the carrying on of these various appliances by skilled mechanics before the eyes of the congregation.But, inasmuch as it is needful to provide for different temperaments and tastes, the morning ser- vicas on the.second end third days of the mcuth shall be such as the congregation have been gccustomed to hitherto.(4) A sermon to be preached after the devotional exercises.But it is expressly prohibited that any of the following doctrines shall be taught, or any others having affinity with them:\u2014 1st.The fallen moral and spiritual ccrdition of mankind.2nd.The consequent need of a Divine Saviour, and of atonement for sin and its forgiveness.3rd.The need of Conversion, regeneration, or any other moral change in the character of men.4th.It shall also be prohibited to bring any motives to bear upon hearers from any supposed future life, as the whole attention of mankind is necessary to cope with the difficulties, perform the duties, and enjoy the pleasures of the life that now is.The only fall recognized by the Society being the fall into poor circumstances, and the only elevation and salvation being to lift men out of them.(5) The arrangements of the Sunday- school to be of the same character as the foregoing.(8) As soon as possible a Ministerial Committee shall be appointed to revise the New based on effice, wealth, education, sect or Testament, and to strike out from {it all ing their claims for favors.t> TO ENRICH 4 FEW Ca Fs (To the Edit of aluo te bs especially efleacious and

established fact.Already many plans for the celebration of \u2018Patriots\u2019 Day.* are well on the way.The interest centres, of course, in Lexington and Concord and many are the pilgrims whq on April 19 will visit these places, walking or riding over tbe historic ground.There is to be a repetition of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, in which the rider, starting from Medford, the first Place whare anyone was awakened, will rouse the people along the road to Lexington.His passing will give the signal of the commencement of the celebraciun and all along bonfires, fireworks, and rejoicing will follow him.There have been many changes since the night Revere rode so fast and the only bit of the way of country road just before Lexington is reached.a green which to-day, instead of being a

BOSTON.After long discussion and much delay the Board of Aldermen has ordered the West End Railway to put its feed and power wires under ground before Nov.15, 1894.They also warn the company that der, tao.Another order has been refused ordering other companies in the same district to bury their wires and this wiM probably be passed at once.The wires belonging to the city of Boston, of which only 250 out of 1,000 miles are under\u201d ground are to be put under as rapidly as possible.There were before thir legislation commenced only two companies using high potential wires above ground and one.had petitioned for the right to construct a conduit, so that Boston should, at the end of the year, be fairly free from these.The people of Montreal have bad but a short experience of these heavily- charged wires, but they are more and work of wires, which, at such places as the corner of Craig and Bleury streets, almost shuts out the light, must be got rid of in some way.\u2018Why should they wait for an object | lesson such as the city of Providence re- | ceived last week when all the telephone | and telegraph line were made useless by | broken or crossed wires, even the fire \u2018 alarm and police signal systems being of | no use.Yet they were not as badly off, ss some other places for the Edison elec- | tric light wires were underground and, they were not left in totdl darkness.| All about Boston on the sams dav, | people were unable to reach the city be- | cause of poles across the tracks.All! this added effect to the evidenc> heard by the aldermen.The firemen were , among the \u2018chief complainants.\u2019 They gave evidence to the effect that the wires made It almest impossible for them to raise ladders.and rertairly d4- | layed them greatly having to be cut.before anything could be done.Then the coverings of tHese wires are easily | rubbed off by the ladders and are, moreover, mere weather coverings, which, when saturated with water, furnish no insulation to the heavy current.While this saturation was difficult when the {fa 1a pra EE a SN pu Boston, April 17.\u2014The new holiday of : the United States and more particularly ! which remains

there is no positive evidence, that Samuel and Moses were the sons of John.Samuel was the grandfather of the inventor.He, like many other Nova Scotians, was attracted by the fertile lands of Upper Canada, and moved thers about 1811.His son, Samuel, jr., went to Ohio, and there the inventor was born.SCOTCH LOCAL GOVERNMENT BILL.In the House of Commons on Friday tho Scotch Local Government bill

crowded.The windows of the cathedral rattled ominously and several objects fell to the floor.Women screamed and somebody shouted that the building was falling.A terrible panic was averted only by Premier Tricoupis's presence of mind.He addressed the congregation calmly, saying that there would be no danger if they would only leave the cathedral slowly.The congregation dispersed without disorder.Despatches received up to 11.30 indicate that the earthquake was felt throughout Greece.The town of Atalanta, 3,000 inhabitants, which had been but slightly injured by previous shocks, was nearly levelled to the ground.Two- thirds of the buildings were reduced to beaps of ruins and the rest were badly damagad.The destriiction of Thebes was complete.Not a house in the town is left

last evening referred to the fact that *welve parishes in English.diocedes would be disendowed and disestablished, but on the other hand fourteen Welsh parishes in the diocese of St.Asaph would b: transferred to some Eng- iish diocese.The treatment of a number of boundary parishes involved delicate questions, and would be considered, iherefore, by special commissioners.If the bill should be passed in the present year it would be effective on Jan.1, 1896.All publiz and private rights in patronage would then become extinct.No Welsh bishops would sit in the House of Lords.Ecclesiastical law in Wales would cease and the courts would be deprived of their power.Existing doctrines and ordinances would continue, although without the force of tha law.The power to held synods would be preserved

fifty-two years have fled since Panl Chom- ely, Sieur de Maisonneuve, planted the fleur-de-lis and cross at Ville Marie, the city as a body politic and corporate is barely sixty-two years old, the royal assent to its first charter having been sig- HON.PETER McGILL.nified on June 5, 1832.The city was styled \u201cThe Corporation of Montreal\u2019 It was accoraed certain borrowing powers, since enlarged to a degree that would have made old Jacques Viger stand agape.It was also authorized to hold and possess goods, chattels, lands and tenements, real and immovable property ; also, to gue and be sued, to plead and implead, to bave a common seal, \u2018and the same from time to time at their will to break, alter and amend.The charter Was brief, compared with the present one, JACQUES VIGER.containing but twenty-six articles, \u201cwhereas that of to-day hag nearly five hundred, and will doubtless in time equal that of, say, St.Paul, Mo., which has peventeen hundred and ninety-four sections, covering over a thousand pages ; or that of Brooklyn, where, in answer to a request for a copy of the city\u2019s charter, the Mayor writes me almost dolefully : \u2018There is no charter, for the legislature so amends it every year that it is impossible to give the exact laws that govern.\u201d By its first charter, Montreal WOLFRED\" NELSON, M.D.was divided into eight wards, namely, East, West, St.Apn\u2019s, St.Joseph, St.Anthony, St.a St.Louis and St.Mary.The limiis of these boundaries, which there is not space to reproduce, possess much interesting topographical and antiquerian information.Who now remembers the Little River and Char- land\u2019s new bridge in the West Ward, or La Pointe a Calliere in Bt.Ann\u2019s ?How the sight of the names, Recollet and Quebge Suburbs, La Place des Commis- JAMES FERRIER.saries and St.Anthony's Ward, must carry back the memories of old inhabitants ! Citizenship was limited to \u2018every male person of the age of twenty-one years being proprietor of a house.and a magistrate.with a suitable remunera- ie + per annuin.} of the ground on which the same is built, or of a vacant lot of ground within the city, and who shall have resided in the city during twelve calendar months before the time of election.\u201d .All such persons were styled \u2018members of the corporation.\u201d \u2018 A good deal of wisdom is discernible in this first charter.The mayor was styled \u2018chief executive officer.\u201d It was his duty \u2018to be vigilant and active at all times in causing the laws for the government of the city to be duly executed; and as far as was in his power to cause all negligence, carelessness and positive violation of duty to be duly prosecuted and punished.\u201d These duties are wholly omitted from later charters, and in our present one not a line is given to defining the duties of the Mayor beyond the bald statement that he shall preside at all meetings ; is ex-officio a justice of the peace, and entitled to draw a salary of not more than two thousand dollars For the election of the first common council the justices of the peace, who prior to this date were the civic administrators, held a special session on the first Monday of May, and appointed the place of election in each of the wards.Notice of this meeting was given by publication in all the newspapers of the city and at the doors of the churches after divine service in the mornings of the two Sundays preceding the election.The duly qualified members of the corporation were then permitted to meet at the place so appointed on the first Monday of June following to elect for their respective wards, between the hours of ten a.m.and four p.m., two common council men possessed of real estate of a yearly value of £25 currency.Open voting seems to have been the Togue, and false swearing was dealt with as flat perjury under the common law.Within fifteen days after their election the common council men met in the court house, \u2018in the room in which the justices of the peace hold their special sessions,\u201d to elect one of their number mayor, and thereafter to procead to the business of the corporation.The common council was declared to have exclusively the same powers and authority as the justices of the peace for the city and town of Montreal possessed by law, touching police, assess- fonts, sitété;\"thürkèts, wetgifing housck 4 watching and lighting, and generally over all things regarding the improvement, cleanliness and convenience of the city.The first meeting of the council, or corporation, as it was called, was held on June 5, 1833, and Jacques Viger, whose name is commemorated in the square that bears his name, was elected mayor, not by the people, but by the councillors whose chairman he was to be.Each ward elected two councillors, so that the recent change is in accordance with precedent.The council, however, elected the mayor.I find also in this charter an excellent check on thé council.It was there enacted that before having force and effect every by-law and ordinance had to be submitted to the Court of King's Bench for approval, after due publication by newspapers and the town crier.Our old charter also contained expropriation regulations as simple and effective as those in operation are complex and unsatisfactory.When the city wished to acquire ground for opening new streets, Instead of at once assuming a hostile legal attitude towards proprietors, as is the present vogue, an.attempt to purchase by agreement was made.If this failed, resort was had to arbitration ; only in the case of proprietors being absent or refusing to conclude an arrangement or appoint an arbitration, was recourse had to judicial arbitration.Compulsory municipal service was also a feature of the city's first charter, it being enacted that if any person duly elected refused to serve in the common council he should pay the sum of twenty-five pounds currency.This charter remained in operation until the first of May, 1836, too short a time to afford its merits a fair trial.For some reason that cannot be divined, the renewal of the charter was refused.\u2018Since then,\u201d says Lord Durham, in his famous report, p.36, \u2018These Cities (referring also to Quebec, whose charter, identical! with that of Montreal, was also refused renewal) have been without any municipal government, and the disgraceful state of the streets and the utter absence of lighting are consequences which arrest \u2018the attention of all, and seriously affect the comfort and security of the inhabitants.\u2019 In April, 1836, the Governor-General wrote to the Mayor of Montreal, suggesting that in view of the approaching expiration of the term for which the charter was granted, the council would appoint ?Soe op.opp PA mat an 1 Te rn AL bil dat EB (CY DW gr AE Ve FN 2 SR Tn re a tion, to sit regularly for a stated time every day to hear and determine all cases cognizdble by magistrate and to organize and pay a small but efficient body of constables or police officers to protect and watch the town.His Excellency believed that as this would be a purely local arrangement, and for the benefit of the inhabitants of the city, they would not object to raise amongst themselves by voluntary assessment the necessary funds for the purpose.On motion of the redoubtable Dr.Nelson, however, a respectful letter was sent in reply, in which the council pointed out that they cculd not exceed the limits of their charter, and, in declining participation in the [suggestion of His him that \u2018however unfortunate the city might be in not possessing municipal government, nevertheless it appears preferable to the common council that theres should be none rather than to have one of arbitrary creation.\u2019 This latter clause was, it may be imagined, rather intended to convey a hint as to the way in which government by a central executive, instead of by a common council elected by citizens, would be Tegarded.Excellency, assured elected three members.elected one of their number mayor, and glx others as aldermen, the remainder being styled simply counciliors.The mayor elected under this regime was Joseph Bourret, and the first elected aldermen of the city were : Joseph Masson, Benjamin Holmes, William Molson, C.9.De Bleury, John Redpath and joseph Roy.Among the councillors we meet for the first time the honored names of James Ferrier, William Lunn and John Mathewson.In 1844, by virtue of 8 Vic., cap.59, another arrangement of wards was The city was divided into nine wards.Three of these, East, West and Centre, were called city wards, and remade.turned three members each ; the remaining wards were called suburban wards, and elected only two members each.The full council thus numbered twenty-one, the population of the city then being about 45,000.The next change In the constitution of the eouncil took place in 1852, when, by , virtue of 14 and 15 Vic., cap.128, 1851, the election of the mayor, who had hither- : to been the choice of the council, was conflded to the people.The number of } The council ture until 1889, when, under Mayor Ab- .bott, it was again consolidated, but as _ before, no session of the

city\u2019s charter had ceased to administer the city\u2019s affairs, resumed their sittings, and continued them un*il August, 1840.In the year 1840 the city received another charter from the Special Council that sat in Montreal in the Chateau de Ramezay from 1839 until the act of Union of 1840.Its new corporate name was \u2018The Mayor, Aldermen and Citizens of the City of Montreal.\u2019 The Governor-General, the Hon.C.Poulett Thomson, was authorized to name the new inayor, aldermen and councillors for the first term, ending December, 1842, and his nominees were the Hon.Peter McGill, mayor, with eighteen councillors, among whom such familier names as Ingles Quesnel, C.S.Rodier, J.G.Mackenzie, John Donegani, Colin Compbell, Stanley Bagg and Wil- lam Molson are to be found.The population of Montreal in 1840 was 40,000, and yet 18 representatives were not thought too many.In 1843 a new corporation was elected under the provisions of the charter granted by the Special Councll.The ¢ity was divided into six wards only, namely, East, Centre, West, Queen, St.Lawrence and St.Mary.Bach ward 1 \"8 On May 2, 1836, the Court of Special | aldermen was increased to nine, and the suburban wards, which had been steadily growing in population, were given the right to elect three members instead of two, all the wards thus having equal representation.This change increased the numbers of the council to 27, being one more than the present council, although the population of the city in 1852 was only 57,715.The numerous meetings which recent councils seem to find necessary for the despatch of civic business is quite a modern feature\u2014the statute of 1852 provided for only four quarterly meetings \u2018in each year.Special meetings, it is true, could be called by the mayor, but, failing his consent, a requisition stating the object desired was essential.In 1874 (57 Vic., cap.51) a consolidation of various acts amending the charter of the city was passed.rate name of the city was settled as the The distinction between aldermen and councillors was abolished.The charter of 1874 was quite The corpo- city of Montreal.- elaborate, containing 247 articles.It was
