ATTITUDE OF GERMANY.EWS DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN\u2014THE BRITISH * PRESS AROUBED.London, Jan.3.\u2014%&I7 Charles Dilke, Mp.who is generally regarded as one of -.5 best English authorities on foreign affairs, was interviewed to-day in connection with the Transvaal trouble.He s1;1 ha did not regard the interest that (Germany 1s showing in the matter as avidence of positive unfriendiiness to «:rear Britain.It rather arose from \u2018rada and similar relations with the Re- muiblic: He did not believe in ths ex- tance of a secret understanding between Gurmany and the Transvaal, while a se- nrg treaty was impossible owing to the ~antract between Great Britain and t=a Transvaal.He had not ob- carved any signs of the Boers being Jdesirous of repudiating British suzerainty and he cited evidence to prove the contrary.The present attitude of the Boers, he contended, was doubtless ascribable -a a suspicion that there was a plot to annex their country to the British pos- The situation, he added.was a most dangerous one, but the Boers\u2019 vierw should not be forgotten.They have kept the terms of the contract and the British treatment of them ought to ho based on an adequate recognition of that fact.Moreover, it must not be forgotten that the Dutch are in a majority.not only in the Transvaal but in South Africa.Tha Duke of Abercorn, chairman of the British South African Company, said.in an interview to-day, that communications nal passed regularly between Dr.Jame- son and the Board of Directors of the Company, but that these communications contained no reference tô an inva- sg nn of the Transvaal.The board was utterly unaware ~® .movement and had neither suggested nor encouraged anything of the kind.sessions.THE BRITISH PRESS DEFIANT, London, Jan.3.\u2014The \u2018 Daily News will to-morrow say that it sees nothing hos- tila to Britain in the words the Emperor William addressed to the President of the S .uth African Republic.It adds that they are not agreeable reading for Englishmen, but they will impress some minds sorelv needing such impression, that the encouragement of tilibusters is playing with edged tools.The \u2018Post\u2019 draws the deduction from the Emperor William's telegram that His Majesty considers a war with Great Britain within the limits of possibility and that he has settled the preliminaries with a view 4Ahereto.The \u201cPest\u2019 advises Grea: Britain to concentrate a fleet by reralling the Mediterranean squadron now in the Levant to join the Channel sadren.The \u2018Chronicle\u2019 will say :\u2014\u2018The Emperor\u2019's message comes near being an offer o! armed assistance.We hape and be- leve that President Kruger will take ni Notice of it.The Emperor has nothing tn do with this business, which Mr.Chamber!ain is trying to settle on lines of! perfect justice.\u2019 The \u2018Standard\u2019 will, to-morrow, say the Emperor Willlam\u2019s message is, r'xingly unfriendly act.It raises the that he wishes to either chal\u2018enge or destroy British suzerainty ip \u2018U- Transvaal.\u2018 Germany,\u2019 it adds, \"his oy oe loens standi\u2019 in the Transvaal than Grzat Britain has in Havana.fireat Britain cannot and will not tole- ra\u2018 ha sl'ghest interference between the Transvaal and herself.\u2019 The paper G'iatas Upon German hostility to Great Britiin everywhere.It then issues a saying :\u2014\u2018 If Germany insists upon trespassing upon our rights, we are wall able to defend them.We are a reaccable people, but if others will not permit us to remain in peace we are capable of accepting tke unwelcome ordeal with composure.The \u2018 Times will say to-morrow :\u2014 \u2018The Emperor's message is 6f very grave import.All the available evidence shows that he intended to give unqualified recognition to the Transvaal as an independent state.\u2019 The paper askes whether it is really true.as it appears, thdt Germany had gladly s2ized an opportunity t» humiliate Eagiand, cr to win cheap applause fcr any easy®bit of diplomatic Chauvinism, and adds : \u2018She can rest assured that no demonstration of this kind will induce Great Britain to depart from ag position whi-h she has deliberately assumed, and which she {3s convinced it is her right to maintain.\u2019 AID FOR THE WOUNDED BOERS.Berlin, Jen.3.\u2014The semi-official \u2018North *ha: as Dres ITITTION warning, Spa ee Vite EN Tog HRC DEER Wd Ee German Gazette\u2019 invokes public opinion in Germany to favor European intervention in the Trasvaal trouble.Subscriptions are being raised in Germany in bes half of the Boers, wounded in the engagement with Dr.Jameson's force at Krug- ersdorp.The sum of a hundred thousand marks has already been collected.\u2014\u2014\u2014 LONDON CORRESPONDENCE.QUIET SAID TO HAVE BEEN RESTORED \u2014 DR.JAMESON STILL A PRISONER\u2014HIS LOSSES HEAVY.London, Jan.4.\u2014Until Dr.Jameson, the administrator of the British South African Company, vindicates his conduct in leading an armed force into the Transvaal, the key of the raid must be sought by collating and comparing information that may be had \u2018outside of tHe Colonial Office communications.The government has ciosed all the accesses of independent enquiry.It holds the telegraph wires from the Transvaal, which are occupied with its own messages, and tells the press that nothing is known beyond what it has already made public.In the meantime Mr.Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, has the advantage of appearing to be in nowise responsible for or privy to Dr.Jameson's venture.The Hon.Cecil Rhodes, the Prime Minister of the Cape Colony, repudiates him, and Sir Hercules Robinson, the governor of the Colony, acts as though he had been taken by surprise by the audacious act of Dr.Jameson.But whatever data can be obtained as explaining Dr.Jameson's conduct suggests that Mr.Chamberlain has been either culpably ignorant of impending developments in the Transvaal or has purposely permitted himself to be duped by the assurances of Mr.Rhodes and Sir Hercules Robinsen, who must have known alt the facts.Mr.Chamberlain's official denouncements of Dr.Jameson will not eventually exonerate him from blame, while Mr.Rhodes and the Governor will, it seems certain, be proven to have been the chief instigators of Dr.Jameson's raid in the Boer territory.iS THE SITUATION.For six weeks past it has been cur rently reported in London that preparations were being made in Tohanueshurg for an insurrection against the Boer Government.This alone ought to have put the Colonial Office on the alert, as it could not be without advices similar to those reaching England by every mail that the British South Africa Company was ready to assist inthe revolt.It was no secret that letters received from Buluwayo, the tapital of Matabeleland, on Nov.1 announced that thoops of the British South Africa Company were starting south, with ten guns and many waggons, under secret order, but it was known that they were destined for the Transvaal.Uther advices show that the mobilization of Dr.Jameson's forces began in Octcber.The British South Africa Company had taken over all the Bechuanaland mcunted police who were doing duty north of Mafeking, mobilized them and armed them with guns of the newest patterr.Mail from the Cape received to-day throws further light cn the subject, letters having been received stating that the preparations began six months ago.The fact that these preparations soon became known to the Boer Government, whose spies throughout that part of South Africa lying north of the Transvaal kept it fully apprised of Dr.Jameson's movements A PERTINENT QUESTION, Now it is asked, whence came the money to meet the great expenses neces- force?Could Mr.Rhodes and Mr.Robinson have been ignorant of Dr.Jame- son\u2019s plan of operations, which was partly organized and approved by Sir J.wil- loughby, the chief commander of the British South Africa Company's forces, who accompanied Dr.Jameson to the Transvaal frontier and who was reported last night to be among the wounded?Is it possible that Dr.Jameson, suddenly of his own accord and on his own responsibility, departed from his previous record as a steady and tactful official and embarked upon the career of a filibusterer, accompanied by such aristocratic British officers as the Hon.Charles Coventry, second son of the Earl of Coventry, the Hon.H.and the Hon.R.White, brothers of Lord Annaly and the Hon.Douglass Marshall, third gon of the Earl of Romney?It will strain British credulity to believe that Mr.Robinson did not have full cog- pizance of Dr.Jameson's proceedings and that Mr.Rhodes did not originate and supply the funds for the attack on the Transvaal.Dr.Jameson's friends, who are powerful, and his associates in war will not allow him, whether he is dead or alive, to become a scapegoat.Between Mr.Chamberlain and Mr.Rhodes there is no good will; on the contrary, there is rather much ill-feel- ing.Therefore, it is likely that the former was duped.If Mr.Chamberlain attempts to bring about the downfall of Mr.sary to mobilize and equip Dr.Jameson's VENEZUELA \u2018THE CR!TTER'S BEN - A SOARIN' SO LONG ITS POOTY HARD TO HOLD HIM.Rhodes the first step will be to secure the canceilation of the charter of the British South Africa Company.Mr.Rhodes a long time ago avowed his readiness to declare the whole of South Africa an independent state.QUIET IN CAPE COLONY.London, Jan, FA\u2014The agent of the Brii- ish South Africa Company at Cape Town telegraphs to the London office of the company as follows: \u2018A battle has been fought.The fighting was severe and the casualties on both sides were heavy.Dr.Jameson has been arrested.London, Jan.4.\u2014Mr.Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, \u2018received at 5.20 o'clock this morning a cablegram from Sir H.G.R.Robinson, Governor Cape Colony, saying: \u2018I have received the following telegrarh from Sir Jacobus A.Dewet, British agent at Pretoria, at six o'clock last evening: Everything is quiet now.Further serious disturbances will not now occur.A deputaticn from the Johannesburg reform committee came last evening, giving a guarantee of peace.1 informed President Kruger of that guar-! tee and he assured me, pending Mr.Rob- | inson's arrival, that if the Johgnnesburg people were quiet and did not commit any hostile acts that Jchannesburg would | not be molested or surrounded by the deputation was: bigbly pleased at this assurance and gave.burgher forces.The a pledge that the refcrm committee would preserve order.Agent Dewet proceeds to say: I testify in the strongest and Commander-in-chief ot London.Jan.4.\u2014Sir Hercules Robinson, Governor of the Cape Colony, has telegraphed to Mr.Chamberlain at the Colonial Office that of the force led into the Transvaal by Dr.Jameson seventy were killed, thirty wounded and five hundred taken prisoners.He also tele- \u2018graphs that it is stated in the Cape Town pagers that Dr.Jameson and Messrs.White and Willoughby are lodged in the Pretoria Jail and Messrs.Gray and Coventry, cf the British South Africa Company, are among the wounded.London, Jan.4.\u2014Sir J.A.DeWet, British Agent at Pretoria, telegraphs that the wounded of Dr.Jameson's followers number over thirty.All of them are at Krugersdorp and are being cared for by f doctors.He says that seventy cdd were | killed, but the exact number cannot be ; stated now, as bodies are stiil being piek- ied up on the: field and buried.| DR.JAMESON'S LCSSES.| A , THE SITUATION IN SOUTH AFRICA.(To the Editor of the N.Y.Herald.) Although Great Britain is generally and recklessly labelled a land grabber, it is necessary to remember that in many cases, in snite of herself, her hand has been forced.Thus much is due in mere justice.In many cases, too, she has tried to check, sometimes successfully, her tuo agrressive children.Witness the Samoan affair, which the Australian colonies were burning to annex, but were held back by the mother country.Ag present Great Britain's hand is being J t N ® S 3 ÿ 3 y Q oN ee gk TORY CUVE SE 16 ro : MAP OF THE TRANSVAAL, OR cougs AFRICAN REPUBLIC.Dr.Jameson, with an armed force variously stated at 500 and 800 men, started on bis raid into the Transvaal from Mafeking, on the bordcrs of Be- chuanaland.The expedition advanced due east toward Johannesburg until it reached Krugerdorp, eighteen miles from that city, where, as related in the despatches, it was dcfeated by the Boers and its leader dmpelled to surrender.manner to the great moderation and forbearance of the government of the Transvaal under exceptional and trying circumstances.The prisoners have just arrived.Their casualties are stated to have been severe.Those of the burghers were giicht\u201d forced in South Africa by those whom it will be difficult, # not impossible, to restrain.The state of affairs at the Cape is pe- culier, and enmity between the rival factions runs high.Most powerful is the Africander party, headed by its idol, Cecil Rhodes, nresident of the South Aï- rican Company, and to-day the most powerful man at the Cape.Aggrandizement and annexation may he taken as the watchword of the Africand- ers, who would support to the utmost of their power any attempt to extend the limits of the British Empire, but who in their turn will expect to be supported in their efforts.The followers of Rhodes are in favor of Greater Britain only as far as Great Britain is in favor of Greater South Africa.Any attempt to curb them would doubtless have serious re- .sults.This party is marked by an ill- concealed and ill-rgstrained animosity against the Transvaal Boers.This is due largely to the fact that although the Transvaal is being opened up by South African money and energy, not only are the Englishmen there refused all political rights and compelled to pay practically all the tax2s, but they are in addition treated with contumely, and are frequently having the disastrous results of the Boer war flung at them.As the Africanders consider that the success of the Boers was only due to the incompe- tencv of the English general and to the mistake of employing regular troops, it: is not to be wondered at that the taunts of the Boers rankle.And a cold, hard headed Africander, not given to boasting, has been heard to declare that with five hundred of his countrymen behind him he could reconquer the Transvaal.The Boers are no better shots than the Africanders and would be met in their own way.The Africanders are yet burning with a desire to avenge Majuba Hill, and it remains to be seen whether Dr.Jameson's column will not achieve that object.The \u2018ill-arined, ill-disciplined men who are likely to join bim will, it is more than probable, give a better account of themselves than did the red- csats.Many of those who will teke the field against the Boers will be fired by a remembrance of the fortunes which vanished into thin air on the day when the independence of the Transvaal was ackowledged.; The influence of the Dutch party at the Cape, which is certainly very strong, would be entirely on the side of their Transvaal kinsmen, as it was in the war.Had the independence of the Boers not been acknowledged it is certain that there would have been another northern exodus of the Dutch from British Scuth Africa The outcome of a struggle between the Dutch and Africander parties is scarcely doubtful.As a member of the Dutch party confessed, they would, in the end, be decimated, and their influence undermined.Another point to be considered is the intense hatred of the Boers by the various Kaffir tribes, who regard the Dutchmen as their.natural enemies, as they have for so many years been their merciless oppressors.ANGLO-AFRICAN.New York, Jan.2, 1896.etl Montreal, Jan.4, 1896.Readings by Hearn & Harrison's Standard Barometer at noon to-day, 29.98;

the alderman whose voting record appears in our columns to-day, but no voting record can begin to dencte him or to measure the badness of his influence.His word is law, and he does not even pretend to be serving the public.He openly takes the position of the advocate and spokesman of almost every company with which the city has dealings.Petitions and delegations of citizens are treated at times with indifference, at times with pronounced contempt, never with respect.Whoever has been on the people's side, he has never been.He has probably cost the city more than all men before him put together.It would therefore be a criminal folly for Hochelaga or any other ward to return him again to the Council.\u2014\u2014 A bill introduced into the Virginia © Legislature provides that a tax of two dollars per thousand inhabitants be levied on every town, city or county in which a lynching occurs.Here is a cheap license to murder, a thousand fold eheaper than for any other licensed Killing sport.The only effect of this license would be to create a sentiment of lawfulness about this mode of retribution, and people whose tastes took that direction would reason that besides being surer it was far cheaper than any other method.The State of Virginia cannot count itself a civilized community while this brutal and cowardly method of vengeance continues: within its borders.Where organized government exists any extralegal way of killing anyone is simply murder.The sheriff should b2 empowered and required wherever lynching i3 attempted to call out the militiz.The cost of this action falling on a community would be a memorable lesson, and it would in no senze have the aspect of a license, for it shou'd further be the duty of the military! to shoot any man who proclaims himself a manslayer by attempting to kill anyone other than by process of law.It is a proud thing for Canada that she has never departed from PE i : (RE PR LI er ment they can, if they will, vote and work to turn that government out.If they disapprove of the laws it is their privilege to agitate and vote for a change in those laws.If they cannot trust their own calmer judgment as jurymen, as the inhabitants of the United States do not seem to do, they can brace themselves to greater manliness.But lynch law is anarchy, and every Canadian should be down upon it.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The interference of the Emperor of Germany in a South African raid finds no adequate explanation in that natural sympathy with which any man, resents wrong against any other man.The Kaiser might indite tree telegrams a week if he felt it incumbent upon him to express his sentiments with regard to every quarrel.This telegram means a deadly jealousy of Great Britain, and if it m=ans anything else it means that he regards all Dutchmen everywhere as his proteges.In so regarding them he is dependent exclusively on his own illimitable assumption.The Dutch have never asked him to be their champion.Much as the Afri- canders may dislike British rule* the Dutch of Holland hate the idea of Gtrman rule far more.In sending the message that he did the Emp-rer was probably under the same kind of necessity as that to which the world attributes Mr.Cleveland\u2019s similar act.He is extremely unpopular with his own people.His assumptions and his cruel tyranny recall the behavior of the celebrated tyrants of our school books.A man cannot speak of the Emperor in his own family, tc say nothing of his own drawing: recom, without being in peril of prison.A market woman who by her greater business success had incurrad the enmity of the proprietress of an adjoining stall was sent to priscn on the testimony of her rival that she had spoken disrespectfully of the Emperor, and having, when she got out, characterized her imprisonment as a shame, she went back again.A man who quarrelled with his wife was denounced by her for having on one occasion torn down the Emperor's picture, and \u2018Punch\u2019 has cited an instance of a professor being sent to jail for raising somebody\u2019s soap into which act-the court managed to read \u2018lese Majesté\u201d A ruler whose attitude is such to his subjects sadly needs the adventitious aid that can always be extracted from racial spite, and this he seems to have set himself diligently to cultivate.\u2014_æ.THE WEEK OF PRAYER.In the year 1858 a company of mjs- sionaries assembled at Lodiana, in the inmost heart of India, resolved to send home a request that the whole Church everywhere should observe the first week of the coming year as a week of united prayer \u2018for the outpouring of the Spirit upon all flesh.\u2019 The request was widely responded to, and so greatly were the churches moved that it was determined by common consent to send forth a similar call annually, and the duty of doing so was laid upon the Evangelical Alli- arce, which centres in London.Especially among those branches of the Church which have given up the historic \u2018times and seasons\u2019 was the custom welcomed, and it has remained a stated feast of the Church ever since.It may be questioned, however, how far the convening body grasped the purpose of those who had appealed for it, seeing that they invariably prepared a long programme of subjects of petition, which had an inevitable tendency to obscure the one object of seeking a renewal of the pcntecostal blessing by waiting upon God in prayer as the first church did until the Spirit of God should b: manifested in power in the conversion of multitudes.These fruits were, cn the occasion from which the felicitous 2xpression of the Lodiana missionaries was quoted, not obtained without a condition being reached in those who were the agents of it, which was to their own consciousness and that bof others different from what they had before known.It was not necessary to pray long to make God willing to bestow this condition and its fruits, but it was needed to make the pefi- tioners willing to enter on that condition of total surrender to the di- legal methods, and very seldom a.- Se A » YY pa =, RE: Le BEE ny EE CF PA pr LI FY ERR 5 en 4 te rm SE À TE ESS a

course, it would be unnatural that men should pray for tha coming of the kingdom of Ged in the present day and take no note of the opening of Japan and China, bf the disgrace of Christendom as manifeste } in the Armenian deadlock, the Anglo- American quarrel, and the similar meaningless quarrel more recantly developed between Germany and England, or of the new conditions of Madagascar ; but for these things to come spontaneously in review is a very different thing from appointing a given minister to pray over a g.ven subject, which may not be otherwise in men\u2019s minds at all.The .programme plan after very long trial has proved so far a failure that the churches have gradually given up meeting in great prayer meetings.and for this year there will b2 only ons general meeting in the American Pres.| byterian Church on Friday evening.The other days will be observed by those congregations which choose, Those who do will probably, much to their own profit, return largely to the primitive method.\u2014\u2014\u2014 ENGLAND'S TROUBLES.England has another war on her hands rising out of the recent annexation of Chitral.Chitral might fairly have been claimed by the Ameer of Afghanistan as within bis dominions, as it was on all the English maps.It was, however, beyond his reach, and the quarrels of the Chit- ralis called for Interference hy Britain, on whose confines they were.Her settlement of their quarrel made them necessarily a part of India.It was natural that the Ameer should bethink him of the rest of his Kaffir- istan vassals and conclude that if he did not rule them the English soon would have to.The name Kaffir, or unbeliever, is given by the Mohammedan Afghans to a little-known race who have survived from time imme- | morial in the valleys of the Hindoo Koosh, and who call themselves Siah Posh, or black robes.+ Spanish Government ad- \u201che extension of the Dutch \u2018an to th» mouth of the Ori- Ii 1731 and again in 1796 the rz rononnored

evidence so far as it has bz:en made public in regard to the ownership of the disputed regions at the time Great Britain took over Western Guiana from the Duteh.The Venezuelan cons i- tution was promulgated in 1830, and it declares her territory to be all that \u201cbelonged to the captainey-general of Venezuela, that is, ail Spain claimed before 1823 on both sides cf th- Ori- noro.It was practically in 1840.when the British deputed Sir Rober: _ Schomburgk to mark out a sort of provisional boundary line which wceuld be well inside of Britain's ter- .ritory and form a basis for negotiation as to frontiers with Venezucla, that the dispute between Venezuela and Great Britain arose.In regard to this line Lord Salisbury says that in his report Sir Robert Schomburgk | declares that in laying it down he as- | certained the sites of the old Dutch | fcrts on the Orinoco and the Amicuro rivers, and erected posts there, adopt- | ing them as points in his line, and | within it there was no trace of Span- | | ! ish rule at any time.Sir Robert also reported that Great Britain might justly claim all the territories of Cuyuni, the Yuruari and the Yu- ruan, but in a spirit of compromise Great Britain might surrender her claims to the Yuruari districts in return for the formal recegnition by : Venezuela of the Point Barima claims.; Lerd Salisbury points out that the Schomburgk line was never proposed |as anything but a provisional one.and did not mark England's full claims.In 1844 the Venezuelan minister at London began negotiations for a frontier agreement, and Lord Aberdeen then proposed as a concession in order to obtain an easy set- , tlement the line now said to have been laid down by him as including Great Britain's claims, which, of course, it did not.This proposal was never answered by Venezuela, and six vears later Venezuela was notified that it was cancelled.In 1550 England and Venezuela agre.d not to occupy the disputed territory.but Venezuela broke her engagement repeatedly.Great Britain sent the Governor of Guiana to Caracas in 1857 to negotiate a settlement of the frontier question, but a revolution then proceeding made it impossible to do anything, and for the next nineteen \u2018years Venezuela was in a chronic state of revolution, which prevented any attempt at a settlement.In 1879 Venezuela opened communication on the question.The British Government then stated the boundary line which they claimed commenced at a point at the mouth of the Orinoco, westward of Point Barima, that it proceeded thence in a southerly direction to the Imataca Mountains, the line of which it followed to the northwest, passing from thence by the Highland of Santa Maria, just south of the town of Upata, until it struck a range of hills on the eastern bank ! of the Caroni river, followed thence southward until it struck the great backbone of the Guiana district, the Barima Mountains of British Guiana, and thence southward to the Pacarai Mountains.Venezuela claimed the Essequibo as her eastern boundary.Great Britain pointed out that Venezuela's claim included territory held by Britain and Holland continuously for two centuries, and occupied by forty thousand British subjects.! The Venezuelan minister then proposed a line similar to \u2018that offered | by Lord Aberdeen.This was communicated to the Governor of the colony, who reported that during the thirty-five years since Lord Aberdeen's proposed concession the terri- | tories had been settled under a be- | lief that British rule would be gen- | i | i ly against being handed over to Vene- | izuela.Lord Granville, however, then proposed as a conces:ion the line which bears his name, but no reply wag received from the Venezuelan Government.Again in *1886 Lord Rosebery's Government offered to concede half of the territory between Lord Granville's line and the line pro- pesed by Venezuela at that time, but Venezuela declined, demanding, by eral, and that the settlers, both European and native, protested strong- |/}; the suggestion of the United States, instead the arbitration of the whole question of Venezuela's claim to the territories right up to the EssequiLo river.As this involved a consent to appear willing to abandon British subjects settled on territory held by, Great Britain for nearly a century, Great Britain declined.In 1886, therefore, England, in order to give the settlers a feeling of security.proclaimed that the Schomburgk line was the irreducible boundary of the colony of British Guiana.Great B:it- ain offers to submit to arbitration her claims to territory outside.of the Schomburgk line, which does not enclose the richest of the gold region, but none inside of it.lord Salisbury, in his despatch in reply to Mr.Olney's note, concludrs as follows : IL Will be senn from the preceding stated ment that the Government of (Great Britain have from the first held the same view ns to the extent of the territory which they are entitled to claim as a matter of right.It comprised the coast line up to the Rivor Amacure and the whole basin of the Essequibo River and i's tributaries.A portion 6?that claim, however, thev have always been willing to waive altogether: in regard to another por\u2018ion they have been and cm- tinue to be perfectly readv to submit the question of their title to arbitration.As regards the rest, that which lies within the so-called Schomburgk line, they do not consider that the rights of Great Britain are open to question.Even within that line they have, on various occasions.offered to Venezuela considerable concessions as a matter of friendship and conciliation.and for the purpose of securing an amicable settia- ment of the dispute.If, as time has gone on, the concessions thus offered diminished in extent and have now been withdrawn, this has been the necessary consequence of the gradual spread over the country of British settlements, which Her Majesty's Government cannot, in justice to the inhabitants, offer to surrender to foreign rule ; and the Justice of such withdrawal is amply borne out by the researches In the national archives of Holland and Spain.which have furnished further and more convincing evidence in support of the British claims.\u2014_\u2014_\u2014 THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.The report of the committee appointed at the meeting cf the shareholders of the Banque du Peuple held on Dec.17 was submitted to the adjourned meeting yesterday, the particulars of which appeared in our last edition.The report, it will have been noted, censured the directors for failing to give that thorough supervision to the affairs of the bank expected of bank directors in the discharge of their responsible duties, a failure that opened the door to the veckless administration o2 the late general manager, and thus, indirectly, to the present unf#ftunate posiilon of the bank.The figures submitted are so unfavorable as clearly to necessitate the bank's liquidation, and oven under the most favorable circumstances the assets will not be found sufficient to pay the depositors in full.The report further expressed regret that the directors did not insist upon the head office and city branches being regularly inspected, as such inspection might have directed their attention to the large overdrawn accounts and other irregular advances set down, apparently without their knowledge, as current loans.It may be doubted, however, whether the inspection of the head office would have arrested the attention of the board, as it appears that heavy losses at several of the outst&e branches, regularly visited by the inspector, were unknown to them, or, if known, urheeded.The eommittee in conclusion complimented Mr.Richer, the assistant cashier, for the excellent bookkeeping and methodical arrangement | of all statements and accounts, this having greatly facilitated their labors, and, it would seem that had the directors, at any time, called for a statement of overdrawn accounts or overdue debts it could have been furnished them without delay.The method to he adopted in winding- up the bank's affairs created lively discussion, and the question was held over for further consideration on Friday next.The motion, subsequently withdrawn, to place the administration of affairs in the hands of liquidators under the Winding- up act, seemed to meet with general approval, save on the score of expense, and provided care was taken not to press debtsrs of the bank with undue haste.An impression was created, however, that the law requires the appointment of at least three liquidators.This, while Jor- merly the case, is, we are advised, no longer a provision of the act, since the amendment of 1883 gives dMNcretionary power to the court to appoin | a single administrator in this capamty A Further- ore, the court or l'quidator may sanc- on a centinuance of the powers of the directorial board.In view of these facts, which would permit the bank's affairs te be wound up at a minimum of expense, and to some extent under the advice of the present directors, who, whatever their failings in the part have shown themselves keenly alive to the necessity of prudent administration under present conditions, as is evidenced by the certainly able manner in which they have already realized over four millions of the bank's asseta.it seems more than probable that FT the committee will meet the shareholders on Friday next with a matured plan acceptable to all concerned.The year just closed was one of unusual activity on the stock exchange, yet, if we except one or more stocks, whose strength may clearly be traced to a speculative interest, closing quotations record a marked decline for the year\u2014 a continuance of the hardening process which has been at work for the past two years and a half, and is still active.Taking the highest points reached in 1893 and comparing them with the closing three flgures of 1845, many remarkable combinations ap- rear.In almost every case of sharp decline the greater part took place before rallles above the closing figures of that memorable year there has been a steady but noticeable falling off in all values.This is, of course, most pronounced in the miscellaneous list, and here very wide fluctuations are Bank stocks, while ranging within a narrower circle, have not escaped the Influence of the | forces at work to lessen general values, although the least active of any and held mainly for investment purposes.Without entering into any extended tonsider- ation of the figures presented, the lesson to be learnt from them in their entirety seems ta be that so long as the better class of Investment stocks show the downward tendency that is everwhere apparent any rapid upward fluctuation on the part of any one or more of the active list may be ascribed, in the main.to causes other than an unusual demand for them ty investors; although at present prices the highest stocks seem to find favor as safe investment.shown.| | | | The week closes on the stock exchange with prices somewhat firmer in tone and with the more active stocks ruling not much below the figures quoted before the sharp decline of ten days ago.The money market here has ruled wlith- out change.The Bank of England rate clcsed steady at two percent with the open market rate being one percent lower.Call money in New York has closed higher at 5, with prime mercantile papare from 4 to 5.Exchange has been quiet.Between banks sixties were 9 11-16 to 9 13-16, demand 10 to 10%, and cables 10 3-16.Over the counter sixties were 97% to 10, demand 10% to 10%, and cables 10%.New York funds 1-10 to par between banks;

Society was delivered at St.Andrew's Home last night by Air.Donald Maemauaster, his subject being \u2018The Scottish Couris.\u201d After a few introductory remark: the lecturer read a quotation from Burton's works in which the judges of Scotland in the time of the Stuarts and later wore described as being as corrup: and dishonest as they were cruel.Stairs, one of the magistrates of this period.thought himself entitled to great praise because he was able to say that he had never taken bribes, nor made use ot his power to oppres swith insolence.Yet some of the judges even during this period were upright men.In later times the bench was honor:d by the presence of such men as Lochait.Nasmith and Dalrym- ple.The latter having been made High Justiciary in 174}, established the precedent of openiug his court with prayer instead of with the preaching of a ser- men, as had previously been the custom.Ranwsay, one of the principal legal! historians and biographers, remarks that pcople considered that the dignity of the benz was upheld to a great degree by a liberal eapenditure of money in the giving of entertuinments.Tt e constitution of the Supreme Court of Legislation was described.This tribunal has two divisions, attached to which are thirteen judges.The five magistrates who go out on circuit comprise the \u2018Justiclary Court\u2019 This Supreme Court of Legislation ts a Sessions Court.There is no appéal from it, except to the House of Lords.This Sessions Court, which originated 'n the fifteenth century, had at one timo the power of fixing the price of provisions.The Sheriff's Court was then described and it was explained that in Scotland a sheritr was a judge as well as an executive officer.Sir Walter Scott held this office for some time, and presided at a number of cases.He vehemently protested against the apella\u2018e jurisdiction of the English tribunal, hoiding that the exercise of it would despoil the Scottish courts of their dignity and prestige.Sir Walter was, however, mistaken in this supposition.In the olden time cases were very brief and judgments pronounced with great despatch.Lord Cockburn speaks of eighty-five cases having been heard and decided in three days.This magistrate deprecated the practice of judges giving a long sermon or lecture to the condemned criminal; starving that it was a useless waste of time.In this the lecturer agreed with him.Yet judgments were pronounced too hastily in the old days, the judges seerning to act in keeping with the Scottish maxim, \u2018Hang a thief -when he is young.and he will not steal when he is old.\" Some humorous stories -of the famous lawyer John Clerk were ré- He limped in his gait, in copse- quence of which some one once remarked in his hearing, \u2018There goes the lame lawyer Clerk.\u201d Turning round he said.\u2018No, not a lame lawyer, but a lame man.\u201d Ie afterwards took the title of Lord Eldin and on some one remarking upon tne similiarity of his nine to that of the English peer \u2018Eldon\u2019 he said the diffei- ence is all in my \u2018i.An amusing account of a lawsuit following upon the ambiguity of expression of an ignorant testatrix was given.The property in dispuwse had been willed to the \u2018Peer\u2019 or \u2018pier\u2019 of Aberdesn.Three claimants presented themselves, the nobleman bearing that gitle, the trustees of the bridge or \u2018pier\u2019 of Aberdeen and a citizen oI the name of \u2018Poor\u2019 who claimed that the deceased had always propounced his name \u2018Peer Mr.Macmaster mentioned some amusing experiences of his own, in conecticn with legal practice.Once in asgow he asked a man whom he tnok to be a hotel servant whether or not he belonged to the \u2018establishment\u2019 in which he was found.The man said \u2018Na, 1 belong to the Free Kirk.In a Montreai case thers were Lwo witnesses named Siuart one for plaintiff and one lor defendant.They became transposed, much to the conlusion c¢£ the lawyers upon svhich Judge Baby remarked \u2018Your side \u2018has evidentlv got the \u2018Pretender\u2019 He described the offices and enumerated the duties of the two principal Law Lords of Scotland.whose positions are similar ro those of the Attorney-General and So- licitor-General of England.The latter >fficials receive sularies ol £7,000 and {\u20ac.- 000 respectively; together ith the fees pertaining to their offices.The Scottish barristers do not receive guite as much.The Scottish Law Courts are now presided over by men of great ability and uprightness of character.The lecturer thought tha: both advocates and judges in Scotland presente] worihy models for the imitation of represeplatives of their respective classes in Canada: A good stecry concerning Lord Jeffrey was told.There once appeared before this judge a military gentleman who on being referred to as a \u201csoldier\u2019 obiected that ha ought to be called an \u2018officer.upon which Lord Jeffrey.in his address, said, \u2018This officer who is not a soldier is the scie cause of the present trouble,\u201d ele.The present system of legal reporting in Scotland is excellent; but through the defective records kept in past times many valuable decisions have been lost.The constitution of the Judicial Cemmittee of the English Privy Council was explained.It is before this body that appeals [rom the colonies ave taken.But appeals from the Scottish courts are heard by the House vof Lords.Lord and at the same time employ a number ot Beaconsñeld established the precedent of placing a Scottish judge in the Committee of the Privy Council of England.Its presence there is an advantage to Canadian litigants, as the Scottish civil law largely resembles that of Canada.Mr.Mecmasler spoke of tne great decrease of drinking customs among Scottish judges and lawyers.In the short debate on the paper which ensued speeches were made by Messrs.Braidwood, Bain and Porteous Arnold.Mr.Braidwood said that a judge in Scotland was, when on the bench, neither a Whig nor a Tory.He condemned the practice of certain Canadian judges who resigned their positions in order to take part in party politirs.Mr.Macmaster, in replying to the vote cf thanks tendered him by the audience.said that Scotch gentlemen frequentiy «tudied law simply for educational pur- posos.and remained laymen after pass- SE ans TENN, Ser EY om

Predicted by the Minis- er of Agriculture, A GRAVE 6 CABINET SCANDAL.THE POSTMASTER GENERAL ACCUBED OF ACCEPTING A BRILE FROM A MONTREAL CORPORATION.1 Jan, 4.\u2014The \u2018World's\u2019 special from Ottawa says the Premier had a long conference with His Excellency yekter- day.The subject of the conference is said to have been that the Hon.Messrs.Haggart and Montague had, at the sug- gostion of a Couservative caucus, advised Sir Mackenzie Bowell to step down.Sir Toronto, Mackenzie Bowell declined to state what passed between himself and His Excellency, but from present appearances Sir Mackenzie will remain at the helm.The \u2018World's\u2019 correspondent then goes on to tell a sensational story to the effect that \u2018an anonymous letter was written to His Excellency about a year ago charging Sir Adolphe Caron with having accepted money from certain Montreal men who had been interested in getting the Montreal Island Belt Line Railway through parliament in the session of 1894.Some weeks ago a second letter from the same anonymous writer was received by His Excellency, dfted Smith's Falls, refter- ating the charges of the first letter and Lord Aberdeen turned the matter over to the Premier and the Premier to Sig Adolphe Caron.Experts were called in and their report was that without a doubt the writing was the same as the writing of the first letter suspected.At the Premier's earnest requést the matter was allowed to rest but the events of the past few days have brought matters to a head and Sir Adolphe Caron decided to make a straight charge against his ccileague of seeking to ruin him politically by anonymous letters to the Gov- sraor-General and insisting on His Ex cellecy being informed of the serious charge he made against a colleague.The correspondent adds that the accused minister is Dr.Montague.ANOTHER VERSION.\u2018Ottawa, Jan.4.\u2014The report that Sir Mackenzie Bowell had resigned was in everybody's mouth last night, but it was premature for he is still Prime Minister.The Conservatives are aléne responsible for the report.They are doing their best to undermine the Premier and to force him to resign.They may succeed but Sir Mackenzie will fight, and if he is compelled by treachery to resign he will probably pull the others down with him.The sensational charge made by Sir Adolphe Caron aginst his colleague, the Hon.Dr.Montague, is the sole topic here to-day.It overshadows the rumors about the Premiership.The \u2018Citizen\u2019 has an editorial this morning entitled: \u2018The war of Ministers,\u201d which says: \u2018Dr.Montague is accused by a colleague, Sir Adolphe Caron, of having treacherously attempted to ruin him by writing anonymous accusations against him to His Excellency the Gov- ernor-General.The charge was that Sir Adolphe was paid for promoting the passage of a private bill, a charge which he emphatically denies.The handwriting in theletters hebelieves be has ccmclusively es:ablished to be that of his fellow minister.The obvious result must be an investigation of the indictment laid against the Hon.Dr.Montague.Until this investigation is anade it would be premature to form a judgment upon the merits of the case, but it is inevitable that one or other of the ministers must resign.\u2019 In its Parliamentary news columns the \u2018 Citizen' says :\u2014\u2018 The charge of treachery towards a colleagues of the Cabinet is one which the Hon.Dr.Montague indignantly \"denies.It is said he was first made acauainted with the suspicions of the Postmaster-General yesterday afternoon, and after repudiating the accusation in toto demanded an investigation.It was also said late last night that in the meantime the Hon.Dr.Montague nas decided to resign from the Cabinet.\u2019 The \u2018 Citizen\u2019 also says editorially :\u2014 \u2018The unsettled state of the political atmosphere for niany months past has been aggravaied recently by rumors of all kinds concerning dissensions in the Cabinet, prospective changes and suggested reorganization under a new leadership.\u2019 The opinion here is that the end of it all will be an early dissolution of Parliament.DR.MONTAGUE INTERVIEWED.The Montague-Caron affair is very serious.Your ccrrespondent has just seen Dr.Montague ia his office and he said in reply to a question, \u2018You may say that the whole thing is a tissue of falsehoods.It is.a lie from beginning to end and no amount of expert evidence as to hand-writing will prove the contrary.They say the first letter to the Governor-General was written at the tine of the formation \u2018of the government a year ago, that I wrote the letter from Montreal, as a matter of fact I was lying in Ottawa at the point of death at that period.I had belePe the publication of this written to the Premier demanding that His Excellency should be informed of the mention of my name in connection with it.Why was this matter given to the press before I was called _on to &n- swer the charge?The whole cbject is that ope or two men about to fall are trying to drag me down with them.The Conservative party is done for but they can- pot say other than that I fought hard to save it.I will give you some correspondence in the case this afternoon.It is said by those who Know that Premier Bowell and Sir Adolphe Caron are the men alluded

What for ?What evil has he done ?' asked Halya .\u2018For reading the New Testament and preaching God's salvation to those who are in darkness,\u201d he replied.He went on to talk of Louk- yan's apostolic life,and teaching.His own heart was full of the subject, and he spoke of his leader with great warmth.But Halya listened carelessly.She had not come to the Pannotshka's grave to talk about old Loukyan, the bee-master, She pitied him :.but there were more important things to talk ebout.\u2018Halva.\u2019 said Paul, \u2018what I must tell you is this\u2014they all say I shall be chosen presbyter in Loukyan\u2019swstead.I am one of the youngest ; but I have more learning than any of the rest.Then, my darling, the post of greatest danger will be mine.\u2019 \u2018Danger \" she cried, looking at him in perplexity.\u2018Yes \u201d he said, \u2018what has befallen Loukyan will befall me sooner or later.TI.too, shall be arrested, and sent to Siberia.\u2019 \u2019 In spite of the summer heat and sunshine a shiver ran through them both as he uttered the dread word Siberia.\u2018No, no \" she cried, nestling closer to him ; \u2018don\u2019t do it, Paul! Leave them.Come back to me, and the true Church! Ah! vou do not love me, or vou would not speak of such things.Do vou love the jail and Siberia better than Knishi, and freedom, and me \u201d \u2018No.my Halya,\u2019 he answered ; \u2018but, dearest.T love God and His truth above all things in heaven and earth.Oh! if you only knew the Saviour as I know Him you would understand.\u2019 Fhen I shall have to marry Pan- ass,\u2019 sobbed Halya.interrupting him: \u2018old Okhrim came yesterday, and he and my father are making up the match.- If yon loved me you would save me from Panass.I could p-r- suade my father to give me to you.if vow were only a Christian.Oh! whv do vou make me so unhappy 7 \u2018I knew I must tell vou, said Paul, \u2018because if you bacame my wife ,you would have to share my lot.We shall be poor and forsaken, persecuted and exiled ; mand you could not endure that.\u201c Yes! I could\u2014with you,\u2019 replied Halya, in a delicious whisper.She pressed her cheek against his.\u2018Oh! I love you, Paul!\" she cried: \u2018I never loved anyone but you! Don\u2019t leave me; don't give me up! I could go to Siberia with you a hundred times rather than marry Pan- ass!\u2019 She lifted up her face, and fixed a long and searching gaze upon him.He was deeply moved ; but his eyes were sad and steadfast.She did not find in them a sign of yielding.Her head fell down, and she broke into a passion of weeping.\u2018There is no chance of happiness for us,\u2019 said Paul, \u2018or rather there is only one\u2014that you should cast in your lot with us, and let us be married by the German pastor.\u2019 Halyva shook her head.\u2018Then God\u2019s will be done !\" the murmured, yielding to that thread of fatalism which runs through all the life of a Russian peasant, and which gives to them a strange patience with their bitter lot.They sat together, almost in silence, until the red ball of the sun touched the western horizon ; and deep shadows began to creep along the forest glades.The herdsman\u2019s horns were heard in the distance ; the cattle were being gathered for the night.Paul led Halya to the outskirts of the forest : and they parted as lovers part who have met for the last time.Paul flung himself under a tree and buried his race in his hands.How long he remained in his hopeless reverie he did not know ; but when he lifted up his head the stars were hanging like little lamps in the dark blue of the sky.To reach Ostron he must pass through the depths of the forest behind him.He fully believed in the existence of demons; btu he had no fear of them, What harm could come to him whom God protected ?He strode boldly into the wood.At some little distance within the forest stood a charcoal-burner\u2019s hut, almost fallen into ruins ; for since the mischance that had happened to Av- idushka no peasant could be found to undertake any work so near the Pan- notshka's grave.What was Paul's amazement to see a light shining through the chinks of thé roof and the walis ?He crept stealthily for- throbbing heart.His curiosity and | courage sustained each other ; when one failed tha other prompted him.He could not go on, and leave this mystery upsolved.At lagt he reached, the hut Hear enough to Bee the inte- | rior through the half-open door.There sat Valerian.and beside him: | & man with a packet of papers in his hand.tones.i \u2018I thought I heard a footstep,\u2019 said the stranger.\u2018Impossible ' answered Valerian, with a laugh ; \u2018there is not a soul in Knishi would venture within a mile of this at night.They believe in the devil too firmiv.The devil has Leen of some use for once, my friend.\u201d : They resumed their conversation in lower tones ; and Paul stole away | as silently as he had approached the ! hut.His mother was watching for his: return.He could see her sitting in- | side the house, with her knitting in ' her hands, and the well-worn New Testament lying on the table before her.Speechless and unhappy he crept to her side, and kneeling down hid his face on her breast.Coliana understood what he meant, and her heart was torn with conflicting emotions.She remembered when this beloved head nestled in her boscm as its only resting-place, when no pain or grief troubled it.Her baby was a man now, with a man\u2019s passions and qualities.He was suffering grievously ;: and his very silence was eloquent of his grief.Her tears fell fast upon his dark hair, and she pressed her lips fondly against!

to leave the country if they chose and were permitted to carry their goods or turn their propertles into cash and take all with them if they so desired.I know that there is much nonsense talked by some who now admire the rebels.That does not alter the position.The loyalists were under Divine Providence, the men who deserve the credit of saving the country from destruction.It is about time the truth was not disputed by any, and that justice was done to them.The tables should be turned now and kept turned, and the real preservers of the peace should get credit for their deeds.I feel that very strongly.Only to-day, the 2nd of January, the \u2018Herald, & morning paper, giving a re- viaw of the United States sentiments et- pressed about the time of our rebelHon well worthy of permanent record, has the following from the New York \u2018Courier,\u2019 of Dec.7, 1837 :\u2014\u2018 We observe with i regret in some of our newspapers a disposition to agitate in favor of the insurgents,\u201d and advises the strictest neutrality; and another paper, the New York expressed {ts views as fol- \u2018We cannot think there is any deep root to this revolt.We have not been able to

linked with France for the period ledge and observation they, the French- Canadians, have been mecst mildly and paternally governed.\u201d And this is the truth.The fifty or sixty thousand French-Canadians in 1759 have grown in the flve generations of British paternal government to over one and one half millions of British subjects.Before 1759, there were under French rule serious troubles.Let the story of \u2018Le Chien d'Or\u2019 as perpetuated In the walls at Quebec, suffice.Had this country been linked with French dcings and despot- isms, anarchy and revolutions, conscriptions and tyrannies, what a different story in history would Canada present, and how different the condition of the people.After Napoleon's loss of the 500,000 men at and from Moscow, he said in hls excuse for deserting the remnant of that army, \u2018I go to raise another 500,- 000 and regain all that is lost.How would our people feel to bs associated in the conscriptions such a state of things meant.Thank God we are as CEE that- ur-idétory has not of 136 years with its assoclate terrors.The condition of the French-Cana- dians as given by the New York \u2018Enquirer\u2019 above quoted at the time of the rebellion, is thus stated: \u2018We are well satisfled that they have neither the intelligence nor the love of liberty which qualifies them for self-government, even If they were to establish their indepand- ence.The French population are as ignorant and as little qualified to govern themselves as were the peasantry of France during the middle ages.\u2019 Let there be an end forever then, of the claptrap that makes heroes, patriots of tke rebels of 1837, \u201835, and inferen- tially the contrary of the loyalists who risked life and property in the defence of their country.wore students at Cobourg in 1837-8 was R.P.Howard, then about fourteen, and who became cur well-known and esteemed Dr.Howard, who passed away some years ago.There was a great revival in Cobourg, and amongst the students there was a mighty awakening.Young Howard was amongst the converts and to many Dr.Watts's lines applied.\"Tis easy work if we begin, To serve the Lord betimes.The good influences of that revival are felt to-day in many parts of the land.A lady, widow of a prominent western | merchant, is still in this city and although laid aside by affliction, yet she exercises herself largely in good works.She also was one of the students at that time.It pavs to associate religion with education.The celebrated Girard wanted none in his college in Philadephia but as the corporation of the city, trus- tess for the college, were to have taught in this institution the highest style of ; morality, \u2018hey decided that only from! the bible could this be taught; and thw bible was introduced.< Travel westward was very limited.stages and steamers connecting in summer, and in April, 1840, gcéng westward, one waggon held all the passengers, and | we were from 8 a.m.to 11 p.m.going from Coteau to Lancaster.Between Coteau du Lac and Lancaster the waggon with mails and passengers passed us.On | that waggon was the Rev.Henry Stein- haur, a full-blooded Indian who had been educated by a gentleman whose name he took.He was then on his way to join the Rev.James Evans, to open up Methodist missions in the North-West, going by the Hudson Bay Company's canoes early in May, from Lachine.It is a remarkable fact that this full-blooded Indian,Henry Steinhaur, and half-Indian, William Wilson, were at the head of the classes in Cohourg in 1837-38.Matthew Richey, afterwards the celebrated Rev.Dr.Richey, was at the head of that Cobourg educational institution at that time.So highly was Henry Steinhaur thought of that the Rev.Mr.Richey had him overlook proof sheets of a work he was then writing, the life of the Rev.William Black, the founder of Methodism in Nova Scotia, etc.There was a dispute arising out of the war of 1812-1813, about tke church built in 1809 in St.Joseph, now St.Sulpice street, and the Rev.Wm.Black went to Baltimore in 1816 to settle the matter with the American brethren.The Rev.James Evans became the celebrated missionary to the North-West, associated with Henry Stein- haur and the Rev.T.Woolsey and others.It was he who invented the Cree alphabet which gave the Indians the op- porturity of learning means.of communication with each other and opened to them great truths that they had previously no such means of learning.It 18 .to the credit of the Rev.Mr.Stein- baur., who also became a missionary to the far North-West, that when the rebellion broke out throughout the North-West not one of his Indians took any part in it.Nor was a Protestant Indian anywhere in the rebellion.So much for the gospel and his teaclrmg.Mr.Steinhaur's son is a missionary today.The first St.James Methodist Church, corner of St.James and St.Francois Xavier streets, was opened in 1821, and it is a singular fact that the recorded narrative of that church was made by the first French Protestant missionary (Methodist), the Rev.John de Puytron.In the same narrative is an account of his work as a missiorary and of a winter journey to Three Rivers, going\u2019 on to Quebec in the spring.His pioneer work, carried on for several years, was good, but as he was from the Channel Islands, speaking French and English, it is cause o! deep regret that\u2014as one minister said to the writer\u2014the exigencies of the English work caused his removal from the French.The work of the Metfodist ministers of those distant days would greatly astonish many in our day.For instance, there were two ministers in Montreal at headquarters, one of whom had a circuit, journeying on horseback, Longueuil, Chambly, St.Cesaire, St.Johns, Caldwell\u2019s manor, and it may be isaid about to all other places of any note.Coming home by Sorel\u2014the whole a journey of over 220 miles in a fortnight, with services all along the route.The report stated it was expected to add some other places, making the route over 250 miles.Then, returning to the city, the minister who had been left, after attending to all Amongst those who y A A ER) (7 (Ad POA RE MR.N.D.outside places near the city, took up the route of his colleague in the country for another fortnight.Oh ! there were giants in those days\u2014men full o! zeal and spiritual life and power.Prom\u2019 nent amongst the names of the ministers of those days of fragrant memory, is the Rev.Robert L.Lusher, then in his full vigor.He was a distinguished expositor of the Christian minister.Thor- cughiy trained and effecti.e, kind, loving, zealous, he left a record that cannot be forgotten.In illustration of his zeal and devotedness, it Is said of him that he had no less than forty-nine prayer- leaders at work in the Master's cause one time.With Paul and all the Apostolic Church, they all believed In prayer.It was no failure, and no rut experience with him and them.The Rev.R.L.Lusher afterwards returned to this city and died here.His son, a well-known citizen, is still here.=» The actions of the just, \u2018Smell sweet and blossom in the dust.The awful cholera year of 1832 witnessed a very remarkable revival beyond all previous record here, and not in its way surpassed since.\u2018That faithful minister,\u201d the Rev.Wm.Squire, whose descendants are still amongst us, was the sole minister in charge that year.Now revivals are not often looked for or seen in summer: but throughout that awful summer, night after night, were revival services maintained, with a result of aver five hundred sound convers\u2018ons.God s voice in the t rrib e prevailing julg- meng aided the proclamation of his servant, and notwithstanding the heat or anything else, the above was the result.Like the disciples of old these scattered the word.Their descendants are with us to-day, to be found throughout the land.It is said that the Rev.Mr.Squire preached every night and bad no ministerial help at all.The St.Gabriel Presbyterian Church of 1792 has its history, fully set forth by the Rev.Dr.Campbell.From it the St.Andrew\u2019s Church in St.Peter street came, and the church on St.Helen street, St.Paul's, called Dr.Black's Church, as the other was called Dr.Matheson'\u2019s.About 1826 the American Presbyterian Church, corner of Victoria square, was opened, and very soon after its opening there was a great revival in it.It might be called a sweeping revival.Nothing like it had previously taken place.To this day the gracious results are feit, and there are very pleasant memories attached to the names of the Rev.Dr.Christmas and Mr.Perkins, the early ministers of that church.The St.Helen Street Baptist Church was a neat building, attached to which were some of the well-known families of the city.In the MoGill street school house began Congregationalism, followed by the erection of Zion Church and the Rev.Dr.Wilkes s ministrations were a great blessing and the history of these churches is well known, Two things Dr.Wilkes said worth special remembrance.One was the regret that so much ministerial labor and time could not have heen perpetuated through the press, and the other was his desire for an increase of Christian communion in practical manifestation.Episccpalianism was represented by Christ Church Cathedral, Notre Dame street.Afterwards Trinity was added, about 1837, in St.Paul street, A FEW PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF MONTREAL IN 1845.Mr.A.S.Walbridge, of Mystic, Que., writes: \u2018Well do I remember the old block on St.Paul street, said to be the birthplace of the \u2018Witness.\u201d More interesting to me is it because I have leaned against the corner and gazed up at the Exchange, knowing that it was at the end of a long stage route from New York and Boston that stopped at my father's hotel, Stanbridge Centre, for breakfast and change of horses.It was the first place reached on its arriving in Canada ard always followed up by a couple of Jones's Dragoons to look the passengers over.This was immediately after the rebellion.Mr.Mott, at St.Johns, was the next stopping place and then the stage reached the Exchange.My business in Montreal was to attend a grocery morning and evening in what was called Campbell's block on the corner of Wellington and Queen streets.Thropgh the day I attended a school city duties and services and including taugkt by one Wm.Grafton and family, M\u2019ARTHUR.on St.Joseph street, now Notre Dame street, in the cellar of a one story house, that opened back into a yard nearly opposite where the Balmoral Hotel is now.There were a hundred and nine scholars crammed into this place, and their ideas were livened up with a rattan cane about three feet long.One incident of many of the old school I remember.One day Mr.Grafton, who always did the beating in of knowledge, hit his thumb with the rattan, when he looked up and sald: \u201cI declare, Mn.Grafton, this thing hurts.\u201d Of the hundred and nine scholars I know of but ~6ne left, whom I met a few days ago for about a minute.He used to hold down the opposite end of my bench in school, a thin-faced English-looking boy by the name of Thomas Dawes, now of Lachine.Another very interesting event to me was the alarms of fire when that old Queen engine bell on Wellington street made an awful clatter and the fireboys would come rushing down the street forty to fifty pulling on a long rope which hauled their machine as fast as they could.There was a prize of six dollars to the first one that threw water on the fire; but the crack engine was the one kept in the Union engine house on the old hay market square, nearly about where the Queen Victoria statue stands.Among the boys who ran with the machine was a well-known man by the name of Perry.Was it your present fire marshal ?One morning in the autumn of 1845 when sleeping in the third story, I was awakened and on looking out saw a fire just starting up in a small wooden building on Queen street, I think.A policeman stood there alone turning his snapping rattle making a noise like a horse fiddle, and soon the other policeman took up the alarm and engines came.But they found their match, as the fire burned about four acres cf bulld- ings, including a n»i1l factory.It was only stopped by the soldiers blowing down some brick buildings with powder.Another incident of 45 was the arrival of a steamship, which was quite a curiosity.One of its masts was made of iron and it was used as a smoke stack.Sails were the principal driving power.\u2019 MR.N.D.M\u2018ARTHUR.Mr.McArthur writes from Belleville: \u2014 \u2018I desire as an old subscriber and still older reader of yours, to express my satisfaction with your paper and

anniversary.The Witness\u2019 has always been in the van of high-class journalism and is more popular to-day than it ever was.Two of its admirable features are its independence in politics and its sympathy with all movements for the betterment cf mankind.\u2014Georgetown \u2018Herald,\u2019 Dec.18.The \u2018Montreal \u2018Witness\u2019 ig celebrating its jubllee year, having been founded in 1845.From small beginnings, it has grown to be one of the largest and most influential journals in the Dominion of Canada, and to-day occupies a building covering ten thousand square feet of land and has a circulation extending over the entire country.The reasons for this phenomenal growth are not far to seek.The \u2018Witness\u2019 has never been a time-server, but being controlled by men of high principles has always striven to give effect to them in the conduct of public affairs.We have not been able to agree with the \u2018Witness\u2019 upon many cf the trade questions of the day, but for all this we cannot but recognize its firm adherence to the principles it believes to be sound and true.We can also bear testimony to the ability and fairness which characterizes its reports of various kinds, and in this matter its example might be followed with advantage by other journals in the Dominion.The \u2018Witness\u2019 is a good example of the survival of the fittest, and we congratulate it on its healthy and vigorous appearznce in its golden jubilee year.\u2014 \u2018The Trader,\u201d Toronto.Fifty vears ago this month the Mcntreal \u2018Witness\u2019 issued its first copy, and its history from that time to the present has been one of advancement from year to year, until to-day it stands in the front rank of Canadian journalism.The \u2018Wi:- ness\u2019 Is outspoken in what it believes to be right or wrong, and its present large circulation proves that it Is popular with the people of Canada.It would be inter- 1 esting to know if any reader of the \u2018Express\u2019 has taken the \u2018Witness regularly \"for the past fifty years.If so let us | Dear from ycu.\u2014Aylmer \u2018Express,\u2019 Dec.| \u2014_.- + Ne ?RAR a 5 N\\ 9 Si # 5 EEN TN N A) rg 7 CSA CAE ce ee

Evangelistic Training Schools, records the result cf some of her obser- vaticns in England last summer in the \u2018Guide to Holiness,\u201d she says :\u2014 It is evident to anyone who has eyes to see withal, that England ig in the midst of a revival of heart purity.As Mr.Hugh Price Hughes has said, \u2018Every time God has inspired a great forward movement among the unreictel maj rity he has simultansously started a great upwar movement among Christians themselves.\u2019 In a work so general there are quite naturally different camps.Only about so many people can think nearly enough alike to march under one banner, and keep step to the same music.Thzy fall into line under one leader or another, not from self-will or quarrelsore :ess, but from simple preference.That fact accounts for the denominations.It is as if all who like butter without salt, as they eat it in England, should sit down at one table, while those who prefer it salted.as we have it in America, should eat at another\u2014all in the best good will.A trained theological taste will detect at once the flavor of Calvinism or Arme- nianism, the Quietist or Quaker, in the teachings of these camps of holiness pesple.Each set accepts the phase of dogtrine that seems to it nearest right, and accords to the rest the same pr.vi- lege.\u201c All are too busy to find fault with the others.Mr.F.B.Meyer, of Newman Hall's old church, has a large following.Mrs.Baxter and her friends have a growing influence.Mr.and Mrs.Harris's pentecostal league is spreading rapidly.Mark Guy Pearse, who stands with Hugh Price Hughes at the head of the Wesleyan forward movement, is reaching milli~ns with voice and pen.From the first the Salvation Army has made beart purity oae great point of its teaching.Various as these camps are, one password will admit them to all : \u2018The bl:é&d of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin.\u2019 They may not all agree in the theological meaning of those words.Some hold that the sinful nature is suppressed by Divine grace; others, that it is extirpated; but all agree that Christ Is able to keep us in the right relation to God, and that all are bound to avail themselves of his provisions cf grace.Some are all for works to show their cleansing, others lay great stress on worship, letting God do the work as he will.Some make prominent the doctrines of divine healing, and the second coming cf our Lord ; others keep these ultra-bellefs in the background, and lay the main stress on clear conversions, and sound sanctifications.Some build up great benevolent institutions, others give thalr strength to the sapiritual needs of the people.Scme crowd their collections to the last point that an audience will endure: others will not even hint to a friend the need of their cause, but will lay it before God, and wait till he sends help.Some talk always about the c'eans- \u2018ng from sin; others call that the negative side of the work, and prefer top e- sent what they regard as the positive view, the fulness of the Spirit.They ara all outspoken In the use of terms.They talk about holiness, sanctification, Christian perfection, perfsct love, as the old Wesleyans used to do.Each camp has its \u2018organ,\u2019 a paper or magazine that sets forth its special phase of truth.Each scatters its tracts and books, he!lping to snow England under with holiness literature.Where there is such a diversity of opinion, thers must be some mistakes.Now and then one loses his head, or turns out to be the Typical \u2018Black _theep.\u2019 : selfishness, ; had its

account.We always allow a good percent for\u2018 ustian and Christ's body guard of twelve We ueed not shiver lest the blunderers and false ones need ruin the cause.Our finical timidity on their account, is the greatest risk.These camps all bear good fruit.They are full of the missiomary spirit.Mra.Baxter's training schocl has already a nundred and tena men and women at work in foreign

cnild to God and the Sa!vation Army for the conversion of the world 7° Their drumbeat already encircles the g'cbe.One of their officers told me that the tide of prosperity set in under the great revival of Christian holiness among them a few years ago.That came about in th's way : Bramwell Booth, under whose care that arm of the service had been placed, called a few of the best of them into a room where the holiness me:ting was to be held.That was in the forenoon.The meeting would be the same af'er- noon.After telling them of the n-ed of prayer for the outpouring of the Spirit, he locked them in, so that there was nothing for them to db but to pray for the revival of the work of purity.The answer was given: and the multitudes came together to seek the fulness of love and power.Is it not tima for us to wait befecre God for a similar outpouring of the Spirit cn the American churches 7 Do we not need a great baptism of love among ourselves ?-\u2014 A TALK WITH GEORGE MULLER.On Friday last.writes a correspondent of the \u2018Christian World,\u201d I walked through one of Mr.Muller's five great orphanages, Ashley Downs, Bristol, and had the privilege of conversing with the venerated founder and head of the orphanages.He is now over ninety years of age, but he looks as fresh as a man in his seventies.He bears no obtrusive sign of feebleness or decrepitude; ne needs no stick to lean upon; and he walks with a firm, easy step which suggests that he has still a good reserve cf available energy.He speaks without faltering, an occasional \u2018d\u2019 sound in place of \u2018th\u2019, reminding one of his German nationality.His face, far from showing a trace of worry or dismay as a result of his immense responsibilities and daily cares, is as placid and refreshing to look upon as a cool and shady lake on a hot summer day.His personality does impress one as being powerful.He has probably never been perplexed with questions of merely intellectual or philosophic interest.His life problems have been of a far different kind.For over sixty years he has wrestled with God in prayer many times daily\u2014in periods of dark trial he has scarcely been off his knees, and he has called no mortal aid to help him in his extremities.He feeds over two thousand orphans on Ashley Downs morning, noon and night, and he has usually a good many baskets, left over.He receives his supplies as miraculously as Elijah got his food.He is our great nineteenth century prophet, telling this doubting generation that the age of miracles is not past and gone, and that there is a God who both hears and answers prayer.Summer and winter, be rises at half-past six.At a quarter to eight he begins the task of going through the letters; and at ten o'clock he is waited upon by nine assistants, to whom he gives instructions.He preaches twice every Sunday and occasionally speaks at Bristol during the week.Since he began his great life work he has received about a million and a half of money for his orphans, and another quarter of a million for the other missionary work he directs, without having asked or hinted that he wished or ne=ded a penny from anv- one.Iteis interessing to remember, in view of the achievements of this single God-helped man, that he broke a blood vessel in his youth and was exempted from service in the German army because he was too weak and had a tendency to consumption! In the course of our conversation, I said to Mr.Muller that in my youuger days I used to pray and believe I got direct answers, but as I grew older I got to fancy the answers must simply be coincidences.\u2018Ah\u2019 broke in Mr.Mulier, \u2018you had lost the simplicity of childhood.\u201d \u2018Then,\u2019 I continued, \u2018as 1 began to think things out and have deeper religious experience, 1 believed that God's will was established in everything, and that prayer was simply a surrendering of man's individual will to God's and placing one\u2019s self in harmony with the divine will in everything.But you go a step further,\u2019 I said to Mr.Muller, \u2018and pray for the direct divine interposition in the affairs of ordinary daily life.\u2019 \u2018Yes,\u2019 replied the aged saint, smiling, \u2018how could I do otherwise?.Then he drew his chair nearer mine, and as we sat face to face he instructed me affectionately in the folidw- ing homily; I reproduce it as faithfully as my memory will allow: \u2018The first essential to effectual prayer is simple faith and childlike trust in God, unmixed with our own thoughts and fears.Secondly, you must find out what is God\u2019s will concerning the object of your petition, and if you are inexperienced in spiritual things, you must seek instruction from some good and holy man who can help you.I might pray to God to make me a duke, or a wealthy man, or a learned literary gentleman, but to grant an answer to such prayers might be perniclous to me, and God would not answer it because he loves me.We must seek to ascertain what would be well pleasing to God, and to be free from all mere self- seeking in our prayers.Third, we must approach God, not pleading any merit of our own, for we are wicked, and only deserve punishment.We must plead the merits of Jesus Christ alone.Then, when we are sure our petition is a righteous one and when our inner conscience tells us that it cannot be otherwise than well-pleasing to God, we must next go on praying\u2014never giving up.Many people lose the blessing or delay the answer because they do not .perzevere.Parents pray for the conversicn of their children, and they lose heart if they have prayed apparently in vain for one or:two or three vears.or five years; but I have prayed twenty years before I got an answer, even thiriy and thirty-five years.And two gentlemen\u2014I have prayed for their conversion for fifty-two years.\u2019 \u2018And they are alive still\u201d [I inquired.\u201cYes y.\" plied Mr.Muller; \u2018they are alive still, and T know my praver will be answered even though I may not be spared to sce the answer.I know I shall meet them in heaven.My God never disappoinis me or sees me confounded.1 have had thousands and thousands of answers te my prayers.When we begin to pray we must be in earnest about it.and hold un until we have got the answer, Qu prayers must be persistent, I have nc b free from periods of sore trial aud perplexity.Sometimes when £40 per duv was needed to pay our current expenc Established 1780.Walter Baker & Co., Limited.Dorchester, Mass., U.S.A.The Oldest and Largest Manufacturers of 5k HIGH GRADE 3) Cocoas and Chocolates No Chemicals are used in their manufactures.Their Breakfast Cocoa is absolutely pure, delicious, nutritious, and cr ts less than one cent a cup.Their Premium No.!

but these pains in the end are a triumph, though caution must be used not to put the hest leg foremost too prominently.A universal motion at the ankle joint has been introduced with good results, for the pecullar comprehensiveness of ths natural movement of the ankie had a'- ways offered tremendous difficulties to the maker.For a long time only one joint was used at the ankle, but a second is now used, and the result is most satisfactory.By the use of springs and cords at the knee also it is possible for the wearer of an artificial leg to sit without the annoyance of a protruding leg.which has always been a cause of difficulty.The mechanical skill shown in the manufacture of hands and arms is no less ingenious, for they are so well constructed as to be for use as well as for ornament.One maker seems to \u2018regard the latter as the primary attraction.for he says :\u2014' I make them so that the hand can be detached, and a hook, ring or any instrument suitable to the wearer's business can be attached, and the hand can be kept neat and clean for dress purposes.\u2019 The arms now made can be moved forward or back, while the fingers of the hand are made so that they can be cpen- ed or shut.By such adjustment the wearer is enabled to perform many feats which one would suppose to be impossible for the maimed.By one movement of the arm the fingers are made to open, while by another they are made to close.in which position they are retained firmly by a spring.giving a firm clasp.A violinist who lost his right arm was fitted so skilfully that he was enabled mer ability, and one man, well known in New York, has two artificial legs, yet he attends balls, and is by no means a \u2018wall flower,\u2019 though he shuns the round dances.There are machine legged cripples who skate on roller skates, and there are men with artificial arms and hands who play a good game of billiards.- ADVERTISEMENTS.004040000400 Break Up a Cold in Tims BY USING PYNY- PECTORAL The Quick Cure for COUGHS, COLDS, CROUP, BRONCHITIS, HOARSENESS, etc.Mrs.JoszrH NORWICK, .of 63 Sorauren Ave., Toronto, writes : \u201c -Pectoral bas never failed to cure my iron of croup after a few doses.It cured myself of a long-standing cough after several other remedies had failed.It has also proved an excellent cough cure for my family.1 prefer it to anv other medisine for coughs, croup or hoarseness.H.O.BARBOUR, of Little Rocher, N.B., writes: \u201cAs a cure for ooughs y-Pectoral is the best selling medicine I have;

just let me sav right here.that in holding women up to ridicule, men make themeelves more effeminate than the women are mas- culîne.I hope the day will soon arrive when women have greater opportunities to make the world what they think it ought to be, and in which the men have failed.It is only now that woman is finding out her true sphera, and she will never leave it ex- rept to take a higher stand.It was for- | merly thought that a womam had no right to express even an opinion, but we all know the proverb about the trodden worm.I read the other dny the world's estimation of a woman was: \u2014 T a fate!

Florence Nightingale went to the Crimean War in 1853, with three hundred women nurses, and proved that civil service was absolutely necessary If those wounded in war were to be properly cared and proved also that much of the suffer- real Red Cross work began.But it was | not until after a Swiss named Henri Dunant, } horror-stricken at the condition of the wounded on the battlefield of Solferino in 1859, wrote a book pleading for relief, that a conference was held in Geneva, and a treaty was prepared and signed by sixteen leading nations.The sanitary commission in our late war did a grand service to the country, but there was no accepted code, so that sup- lies for the sick and wounded were not adequately protected, and no previously trained workers were available, In 1869, Miss Clara Barton, worn out with work for our soldiers, went abroad to rest.While in Switzerland she heard of the Geneva treaty, and determined te do her utmost to have the United States joln the international order.When the Franco-Prussian war came on Miss Barton learned what the Red Cross really meant.She says: \u2014\u2018No record of needless inhumanity or cruelty to sick or wounded stands in the annals of that war.I walked its hospitals day and night.I served in its camps, and I marched with its men, and I know whereof I speak.\u2019 Again she said in a recent address: \u2018Theo treaty has brought the war-making pow- | ers to know each other.Four times it has called the heads of these great nations to meet, through appointed delegates, and to confer upon national neutrality and relief of war.It has created and established one common sign for all military medical relief the world over, and made all under that sign safe and sacred.It has established one military hespital flag for all nations.It has given the people the recognized right to reach and succor their wounded on the field.It has rendered impossible any inefficiency of supplies, either medical or nutritive, for wounded or prisoners which human sympathy and power can reach.It has given the best inventions known to science for the proper handling of mutilated persons, whether soldiers or oivilians.The most approved portable hospitals in the It has frowned upon all old-time modes of cruelty in destructive warfare; poisoned and explosive bullets are no longer popular.Antiseptic dressings and electric light on battle fields are established factz, and the ambulance and stretcher bearers move in the rear ranks of every army.These isolated facts are only the mountain peaks which I paint out to you.The great Alpine range of humanity and activity cannot be shown .in fifteen minutes.\u2019 Miss Barton did her utmost to I the Red Cross workers are neighbors in the good Samaritan sense; human brotherhood is their creed ang nothing else than the true law of love as given by Jesus Christ is thei» animating principle.Forty mations are now pledged to hold ali FRENCM WINTER COSTUMES.the materials and stores of the Red Cross, and its followers neutral in war and free to go and come as their duties require.Miss Barton sald in an address before the | Women's Council: \u2018Women have taken their: full share in the work.Empresges and queens, as well as emperors and kings,lead these societies and its relief work in war.and while each queenly wife stands with her Red Cross hand on the epauletted shoulder of her war-meditating husband he will oon- sider well before he declares war.This has been the case and will be again, and in the great millennial day when peace has conquered war and its standard floats out ffom the shining battlemenis the Red Cross and its workers will be in the van.\u2019 .Godspeed our Florence Nightingale on her great mission to the martyr-nation of Armenia ! \u2018THE NEW MAN.Rev.Anna Shaw has been lecturing on \u2018The New Man\u2019 and like everything else that she says or does, her lecture is well worth the hearing.It tx noted, however, that Miss Shaw does not see the date for the appearance of this new creature.The Philadelphia Press reports the lecture as delivered in that city.It says that she predicted that the new man will neither smoke, drink, swear nor gamble.He will do none of these things because \u2018he will be preeminently a man in the development of his physical organism and will indulge in nothing that will degrede his bodily development.\u2019 Miss Shaw had seen it written that \u201ca man should mot smoke until he was 30 induce | years of age.1f the new man follows this Congress to join the Red Cross League, but | rule she thought that at that age he would the treaty involving this was not finally be married to the new woman and that as- adopted and signed by the President until sertive female would then see that he never \u2018away with such methods.SATURDAY, J: xuARry {.1296.indulged in the weed.As a result of this abstemiousness Miss Shaw foresaw an increase in the stature of the race.\u2018There will be giants in those days.\" The new man \u2018may be a champion batter.or even a football plaver,' but he will indulge in these sports entirely as pastime and during seasonable hours.As a logical consequence professional nines will become a thing of the past, and the heavy hitters of to-day will be known only as myths.Miss Shaw was very earnest on this point.and scoffed at the idea of paying men more to play baseball than to work.The new man is not to be an effeminate creature, lle is to be \u2018a fit mate cf the new | woman.\u2019 He Is also to be intellectual, but \u2018not from the mere study of books.\u201d His mind will be a legal one, and he shall judge accurately between right and wrong evep when a woman is concerned, He is also to be well developed morally.\u2018Not that the world will he absolutely pure, but he will be able to walk in the midst of temptation without being affected any more than a vac- vinated man is physically who walks through a smallpox hospital.\u201d He will be \u2018A moral influence for virtue, and go side by side with the new woman, clasping her hand with a hand as pure as hers.\u2019 The new man will also be religious, although he will pay more attention tc his life than he will to creed.He is to be a manly man, but tender, true, and loving.His intercourse with man is to be that of broth.r with brother.lle is also going to be a brother to the new woinan.The new man in business life i8 going to be benefited by the new business woman.He will no longer have to spend money In buying cigars and drinks in order to close his bargains, for the female drummer will do A UNIQUE LUNCHEON CLUB.A wedding certainly does as it should when it brings out all that is pretty and sweet in the nature of sentiment, and there are very few even of the fashionable weddings celebrated nowadays which have not about them a little halo of this.At the wedding of Miss Manice to Mr.Alexander, which was celebrated a short time ago, savs \u2018Harper's Bazar,\u2019 the bride's gifts to her bridemalds were lockets, miniatures set in gold frames.The workinanshlp of these miniatures was exquisite, but what these girls seemed to prize most of all was that the bit o?six which composed the lining was from the bride\u2019s gown.These same bridesmaids and bride, with three or four others, were all members of a class some few years ago who, when the time came for them to make their debut in society, - formed themselves into a luncheon club.ond of the rules of the club was that there should be no unpleasant remarks made about one another, and that a spirit of good fellowship should always prevail.A gold bracelet was to be given to the girl who married first, she was to wear Mt until the next girl married, and so on.All the rules thus agreed to have been carried out, and the friendshlp of the girls seems to have strengthemed as they have grown older.The bracelet is worn by some girls quite a long time, the bride before Mrs.Alexander having had it in her possession {wo years.Mrs.Alexander had only a fortnight to wear it in, for another of the girls was married immediately after.There are still three or four members who have not yet married, and \u2018who are not even engaged, and there is a great deal of friendly rivalry as te who shall be the next to wear the bangle, which in itself has little intrinsic worth, but carries with it such a wealth of good feeling and affection as makes it valuable beyond what money can buy to these girls, who have found that true friendship brings them the highest pleasure.pte.HOW TO TEACH MORALS.Dear Editor Home,\u2014Many parents spend very much time and energy teaching their \u2018 dear ones \u2018cute\u2019 little tricks, etc., which they think will render

age, until it is getting \u2018sense.\u2019 A child who develops a love of teasing should be taught that it is selfish to amuse one's self by anmoving another.and contrary to God's law of love.may

sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.\u2019 I fancy that when St.Paul spoke of refraining from \u2018provoking children to anger\u2019 he never contemplated a household ruled by the whims of children as a desirable environment for spiritual growth in good qualities or Christlike living.I.Tim.3: 4, 5.Titus 1: 6.SARA F.SIMPSON, THE YOUNG CZARINA OBJECTS TO TOBACCO.The young Czarina

that a cigarette in a woman's mouth is as bad as an oath in a man\u2019s.Most of the grand duchesses of Russia smoke.THE PARTS THAT DO NOT GROW OLD.\u2018In his work on the senile heart, Dr.Balfour tells us,\u2019 says the \u2018Medical Times,\u2019 New York, \u2018that there are two parts of the human organism which, if wisely used, largely escape senile failure.These two are the brain and heart.Persons who think have often wondered why brain workers, great statesmen and others, should continue to work with almost unimpaired activity up to a period when most of the organs and functions of the body are in a condition of advanced senile decay.There is physiologic reason for this, and Dr.Balfour tells us what it is.The normal brain, he affirms, remains vigorous to the last., and that because its nutrition is especially provided for.About the middle life, or a little later, the general arteries of the body begin to lose their elasticity and to slowly but surely dilate.They become, therefore, much less efficient carriers of the nutrient biood to the capillary areas.But this is not the case with the internal carotids, which supply the capillary areas of the brain.On the com- trary, those large vessels continue to retain their pristine elasticity, so that the blood pressure remains normally higher than within the capillary area of any other organ in the body.The cerebral blood paths being thus kept open, the brain tissue is kept better nourished than the other tissues of the body.Who is there of those who have passed middle age that will not rejoice to find such admirable physiological warrant for the belief that the brain may continue to work almost to the very last hour of life?FRENCH WINTER COSTUMES.Two of the fabrics much worn by Paris- fans this wintcr, according to \u2018Harper\u2019s Bazar\u2019 are pointille velvet, and a new plush which so closely imitates the glossy moire Astrachan fur that one needs to be told it is not made of skins.This woven material is so much lighter in weight than the pelt that many will prefer it, though a great number of the glossy black furs enter inte winter gowns, forming even entire skirts and costumes.The colors of this gown are also those now in fashion\u2014green and black brightenbd by gold.The green is in a sleek velvet th pink dots, while the skirt is entirely black.The basque waist is one of the dressy models of the Louis XVI.style, but without a vest, and therefore rather simple.The basque is added in odd little puffs in the back and on the sides, which glve a slight effect of paniers.Very elaborate passementerie of mixed gold and of green forms epaulettes and side trimmings down the front and back.They are met by five rows of galloon surrounding the waist in corselet effect.The front of the corsage 18 gracefully araped, and fastens on the left side invisibly.The velvet sleeves very : puffy at the top are banded with five rows of galloon above the wrist.A green satin collar has a

illustration that shows very clearly how a good nurse changes the sheets without disturbing her patient.The method is to loosely roll up lengthways the soiled sheet on that side of the bed where there is most unoccupicd space.Then unfold the clean sheet tfW both rolls lie close to the patient's side and parallel to one another.Lift her to that part of the bed already prepared, and unrol the remainder of the sheet, removing the 6 one at the same time.WOMEN AS BEDITORS.Mrs.Margaret E.Sangster, the well known editor, writes in the December \u2018Forum\u2019 of editorship as a career for women.She says that editorship presents a most Inviting opportunily to the woman who dares to undertake its duties and fulfil Mts arduous exactions.Strenuogs in obligation, unremitting in requirement,

at Oberlin College Lucy Stone wus subject to severe attacks of sick headaobes on Sunday afternoons caured by keeping be bonnet on during the long Sunday morning services o?those days.She finally took off and was brought before the Ladles\u2019 Boa'd for an action so contrary to custom.When told that St.Paul said that it was a shame for a woman to appear in church with ber head uncovered, she replied, \u2018Them on the Day of Judgment how shall 1 account to God for my wasted Sunday afternoons.\u2019 LADY ABERDEEN INVITES MISS Wil LARD.Miss Willard has been invited by the Countess of

and insisted on the company being given the contract.It was j upon his motion the company finally got the contract.He was one of those who went to Que- bea and HELPED TO SQUANDER that three thousand dollars\u2014which was got illegally from the city\u2014while trying to raise the city's horrowing power, and \u2018wha voted Feb.25, '95, not to make the aldermen who had spent the sum, give ! detalled accounts as to how it had been spant.The manner in which he worked to i bring the Police Investigation to nought, He favored that decision of Ald.Rainville\u2014which caused the enquiry tn collapse\u2014that one of the witnesses should not explain to whom he had given fifty dollars to get on the police force.His was the hand that finally gave the Gas Company the contract that it had worked s» hard to get.Long before the ccmpany's old contract expired, he showed a keen interest in this most interesting question.He was the head of the sub-Light Committee, which, after tinkering scme weeks with the company, is well Known.i brought in a report in favor of paying one dollar and forty cents per thousand feet for gas for pne year, and one dollar and thirty cents for nine years, with ten percent off for cash.When the Council refused to recognize the cne-dollar forty rate, he voted July 12, 1895.in favor of a ten years\u2019 contract iat one dollar and twenty cents per thousand feet.On July 16, when the company would not accept the offer, he voted in favor of paying one dollar and twenty cents per thousand feet, for fifteen years.At the same meeting he voted against the motion to accept Mr.Coates's offer, and also against the motion in favor of the city asking the Legislature to allow it to build its own gas Works and get out of the clutches of the company.On Oct.9, 1895, he voted against the motion to adjourn, so as not to pass the contract when nearly all the English members were absent.Oct.17, he called the meeting, over which the Mayor would not preside, afid | over which he got Ald.Lefebvre to say \u201cke would preside.THE GALLANT THIRTEEN, Finally, on Nov.14, 1895, he led the \"gallant thirteen \u2019 to victory.On Aug.20, 1895, he worked hard to prevent the water rates being reduced, and finally, on Aug.23, when the proposed by-law in favor of the reduction way voted upon, he voted against it, He also voted in favor of a motion asking that the question should be reconsidered, after it had been definitely decided to make the reduction.It was owing to his efforts that Ald.Rainville was appointed chairman of the Finance Committee over the head of Ald.Savignac.On Nov.25, 1895, he opposed the Pari- zeau and Stephens bills which aimed at making it less easy for an alderman to illegally vote away the city's money.At the same meeting he voted against having the City Treasurer say there was money in the treasury before committees could give out contracts.He voted at the same meeting, too, against the motion, which aimed at pre- ven:ing aldermen, who were lawyers, pleading cases, for clients against the city.THE INCLINE RAILWAY EXTENSION, On Nov.28, 1895, he was the leader of the Mount Royal Park Committee which decided that the extension of the Incline Railway to Park avenue should not be stopped till it was found out whether it was legal or not\u2014at the time the committee had a communication from the city attorney saying it was illegal.On Nov.29, 1855, with a couple of other members of this committee, he visited the extension and decided that it was legal and ordered the contractors to go on and complete the jbb.As soon as he had settled this outrage to his satisfaction he took up, on Dec.186, 1895, the nDroposal to allow the Street Railway Company to build a line to the top of the mountain\u2014and this in the face of a number of protests against the prçposed extension.It was he who got up thé committee to go and view the proposed route the next day and say whether it should be built or not.On Dec.17, after goïng over the route, which was already staked out, he decided that the line ought to be built.Au there was a great outcry against the route he got up another sub-commit- tee.composed of himself, Ald.Dupré and Ald.a to view the route once more and make a formal report to Council about the matter.The report has not yet been made.\u2014_\u2014 py \u2014\u2014\u2014_ OBITUARY.St.John,

number of the \u2018 Ladies Kennel Journal informs its readers that the dogs nearest the Queer\u2019s heart are her collies.The breed has enjoyed a lasting preference, collies have for over fifty years been \u2018of the Queen's household,\u2019 and still keep their pride of place, for Roy is to-day one of the dogs \u2018in the house,\u2019 a personal companion of Her Majesty, and almost her constant attendant.The Queen, it is sald, values size in collies.so it Speaks volumes for Roy that, though he fails to come up to his Royal mistress's standard cf stature, he should have won and held such favor.It is a collie dog\u2014 Sharp II.\u2014that has the honor to be lying at Her Majesty's feet in Boehm\u2019s statue in the grand vestibule of Windsor Castle.which is the only picture that we know cf in which the Queen appears with a dog.There are three collies\u2014Sharp, Fern, and Noble.Sharp lies buried on the terrace, far from the kennels, but close to the Queen's own private apartments in the Castle.But this Sharp must not be confused with Sharp V.that is a pet in the kennels to-day.It is of interest to learn that Her Majesty christens all her dogs herself, and it is also a pleasure to note that Her Majesty has no ambition to breed for exhibition, and that she does not apportion her favor according to points.But Her.by thoroughbreds, and there is not one that is not up to the average of \u2018collie\u2019 seen at a shop.But the types adhered to are no longer in vogue, and, It may be, somo of the present occupants of the kennels owe their existence there either to Her Majesty's preference for old sire.Strange to say she has the even black-and-tan markings of the fox terrier on her skull and cheeks, while the ears are black, but edged with white; otherwise the puppy is snow-white, and a collie every inch of her.Lily is more than proud of her offspring\u2014the only one left of a litter born in September.The Queen has not vet seen this latest addition to her pets, as the mite arrived after she left for Balmoral, but the little ball of white wool is there to delight Her Majesty when she returns to Windsor in November.It is as sweet as it is quaint.FRUITS OF THE TRAFFIC.AN INTOXICATED MAN KILLED BY A MONTREAL STUDENT.\u2014\" Sherbrooke, Que., Jan.3.\u2014The results of a trivial quarrel, which took place here on Monday night last, have assumed most

Belanger, of Rock Forest, a village some five miles from here, came into Sherbrooke on Monday last with his brother.They met friends in town and.in the evening, between five and six o'clock, three of them went to the Victoria restaurant on Wel- Hngton sireet for supper.After they Majesty's collies are all thoroughbreds{hid finished their meal, they went into the bar to pay for it.They being told the price, a brother-in-law of Belanger, named Adelard Davignon, who was one of the party, complained of it being too high.Some loud talking ensued in the course of which foul language was made lfree use of.Mr.Richard Rioux, a son .\u2018 DARNLEY III faces, or a wish to see perpetuated the strain of some favorite in the past, OT merely from regard to the giver.Moreover, Her Majesty will not allow a puppy born in her kennels to be destroyed, holding herself, as it were, responsible for the lives of all the little \u2018strangers within her gates,\u2019 and extending her protection to .hem all alike.If any difference at all be made among the dogs it is that, while most have names, there are some that go to their graves withous one.Perhaps these were altogether unattractive, these unchristened puppies, and pot worth endowing with identity; but all the same the ugly ducklings live out their lives in happiness, and, for all they know, are just as fortunate as the rest.The Queen's preference, apparently.in collies is for the once-favorite \u2018Black-and-Crange\u2019'; for there are in her Kennels many soecimens of the variety, with quaint, old-maidish faces and prim, antiquated manners\u2014great friends, wWe were told, with the Royal grandchildren, who are frequent visitors to the kennels when the Court is at Windsor\u2014although her own special companion, Roy in the present, and Sharp in the past, are and were black, tan and white.Perhaps, of the collles in the Home Park.Snowball may be said to be the best known outside the Royal demesne, as he has figured in almost every record that has been written of the dogs.Snowball does not live at the kennels, as, owing to a disease of the ear he was placed by the Queen with her shepherd, He lives at Datchei Ferry, in order to ensure bim against rough treatment from the other dogs.Lily, the other white ceilie of Windsor, is of totally different type and characteristics.She shows distinct signs of the getter cross, not only by the lemon spots on her legs amd ears, which are long and drop heavily, but in action her tail is carried with all tbe directness of a setter.There have been several tamilies by Snowball and Lily, and the i youngest in the kennel to-day is a lit- \u2018tle love, though not a white like her a {ly AA WAAAY NC * a.\u2018SHARP V! of Mr.G.E.Rioux, district magistrate here, who was home from Montreal, where he is studying chemistry, happened -to be in the room at the time, he having been playing in \u2018a game of cards with friends in an adjacent room.He protested against the objectionable language which be heard, asking that respect be shown the ladies who were in the next room.More words followed nd a scuffle \u2018ensued in which Eugene Belanger was struck.Peace was soon made between the parties and all went home, Eugene's brother driving their team.About three miles from the city Eugene complained of his head not being all right and the brother turned the team back and went to Dr.Camirand for advice.The doctor said that nothing was the matter, as the man was only intoxlcated.Arrived at home, Belanger went to bed, from which he never rose.His death occurred the following evening.C'orcner Woodward proceeded tu ihe \"iousze of the deceased and held an inquest.Mr.James Simpson, jr., was foreman of the jury.Eugene Belanger, father of the deceased, identified the body as that of his son, twenty-five years of age.\u2018 Thomas Belanger, brother cf deceased, described the affair in much the same terms as are given above.Adelard Davignon, deceased\u2019s brother- in-law, stated that Eugene Belanger seemed to be all right after the quarrel.Alfred Richard stated that he was present during the quarrel.He saw Eugene get into his waggon afterwards and he seemed to be all right.He was not bleeding and did not Beem to be hurt.Louis Desroches, clerk at the restaurant, testified that he had stopped the row as soon as he could.Rioux had not had a drink, and was seber at the time.Oscar Cormier also gave evidence.Dr.A.G.N.Beique said he was called to see deceased on Dec.31.He found him insensibl@and failed to revive him.Dr.J.O.Camirand followed.On

that he was afraid and was backing, down, whereupon witness struck him, then turned round and with his open right hand hit Eugene, who, with Davig- ren, was coming at him.The three then clinched and fell, Eugene being between the other two.They got up and no more.blows were struck.Arthur Fillon, machinist, and Phillas Boucher, \u2018of Rock Forest, also gave evidence.Doctors F.J.Austin,

What he has ma cor 4 Artin EN RE I ES ES US ne edi 5 K, accomplished for the salvation of gouls will only be revealed in eternity.but one thing he has made clear, and that is that there is no limit to a man\u2019s usefulness if he gives himself to God unreservedly to be used for the evangelization of the world: He gives us the keynote of his success in the following sentence : \u2018I see more and more clearly that it is too late for me to begin to make plans for the Lord by which to work, when God It fs not mine to ask him io endorse my plans and go with me, but by all available means to discern his plans and go with him\u2019 William Taylor was born in 1821 in Virginia.He was of Scotch-Irish descent, and his BISHOP TAYLOR.father, who was a Presbyterian, was converted at a Methodist camp meeting and became an ordained local preacher.William seems to have been himself converted at a very early age, but afterwards passed through many years of darkness and religious struggle, learning painfully in his own experience the lessons which would best fit him to become a teacher of others.It was not till he was twenty that, as he says, \u2018I was restored to my standing in the kingdom and family of God; and he continues, \u2018There I nave dwelt in the secret place of the Most High and under the shadow of the Almighty from that day to the present.\u201d He at once began to seek for the conversion of souls both in conversation and by \u2018street preaching,\u201d which, he 9ays, was \u2018an unnatural thing\u2019 for him and \u2018always a heavy cross.Shortly after in a dream he saw a large empty dropping into it, preacher\u2019s voice saying, \u201cWilliam, neither to the right nor to the left, dropping into a bucket.This ward call was followed almost at once unexpected \u2018license to exhort,\u201d and a junior preacher on a circuit.was in 1842.In 1848 he was preach- with emigrants on account of the discovery of gold.Much surprised, he reflected that his commission was to that California was included.were three apparently insurmountable difficulties in the way.however, : finds his chance to explain his principles of action, and we may add one of the secrets of his success.I said tc myself: How precipitant in me to consent to go away to California without a moment's reflection, hemmed in as I am by fmpassable barriers!\" To this I mentally replied \u2018I did not seek the appointment ; never sought one, but never declined an appointment coming from the legitimate authority of the Church.ers all around me, old and young, were fretiing at the secret work of wire pullers, did not want to go.I always said to such: \u2018'!

KEPPEL STRANGE.ee SCHOMBURGK A BOSTON MAN.An interesting fact in connection with the famous Schomburgk, line which has escaped observation, is that vit man who provided the British Govemnment with that boundary came to this cour- try from Germany when Le was twenty-two years old, and after working for some time as a clerk in B=- ton and Philadelphia, became a partner in a Richmond, Va.tobacco manu\u2018- tory in 1828.The factory was burrel and Schomburgk drifted to the West Indies, where, after unsuccessful ventures.his botanical work attracted the attention of the London Ceographical Socie:y, and he secured means to explore the ur- known region of the Orinoco.He remained there from 1823 to 1839, and discovered the Victoria Regia lily and man: other plants.This work led the British Government to commission him to sug, gest a boundary between Venezuela ap! Guiana, and to make further explorations.The line was drawn, and he was knighted by the Quesn for his services.Schomburgk, until his death in 1865.continued in the British consular service, but devoted himself chiefly to geographical studies, being a member the principal American and European learned societies,\u2014New York \u2018Sun\u2019 of _\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The Board of Out-door Relief acknowledg * with thanks from Mr.Hugh McLennan, $3 Mrs.M.H.Gault.$5; Messrs.Crathern à Caverhill, $59.THE DAILY WITNESS is printed and pulilished at the \u2018Witness\u2019 Building, at the corner of Cre and St.Peter streets, in the city of Montreal, by John Redpath Douzall, of Montreal.All business communications should be addressed *John Dougall & Son, and all letters to the Editor should be addressed \u2018Editor of ths * Witness.\" ' Efrem Jat ARR D D ME de À AM Ba ee YA Qu ; \u2018 e) ii 3 'n is re I ge 80 th qa to Ww br CC br Ti OT CG ag fo sa at ar of sh th le) de be to In | 3 2 2 "]
