falling to pass the remedial bill this session it Is lost forever.Even if it should pass a second reading, a very doubtful possiblli- ty, there is not the slightest chance of a final reading before the expiration of parliament.Thus the Roman Catholic Church leaders will find themselves \u2018dropped between two stools.\u201d They will get nothing.The Federal Government should be desirous to settle the vexed question, and have it removed from the Dominion arena.The Parliament of Canada is desirous to have it removed, and that should influence the government.All parties, therefore, being desirous of a peaceful settlement, why plunge Canada into a race and religious war ?Let, therefore, Canada's Premier, as being senior officer of all, or Lord Aberdeen, in his private capacity, invite the parties interested to a conference at Ottawa, not to obtain information but to effoat an immediate settlement.The second reading c£ the ill might be proceeded *rith.but long before its conclusion the conference would have en -amicable g5!- tlement effected.Under the circumstances a statesmanlike spirit and ordinary common sense should satisfactorily arrange the whole conclusion in less than an hour.Let the spirit which has triumphed in the recent unpleasantness between the United States and Great Britain domirate in Canada, and thus obviate a struggle as fatal to Canada\u2019s welfare as was averted by the common senso of Great Britain and America.\u2019 > A SCHOOL GRIEVANCE.PROTESTANTS COMPELLED TO PAY TAXES TO SUPPORT ROMAN CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.\u2014-\u2014 \u2014 According to the school law of this province the minority must declare itself dissentient or be taxed for the support of Rcman Catholic schools.Through ignorance of thes law, negligence, or other causes, it has happened in numerous instances that the Protestant minority, in several places throughout the province, has been compelled to pay their taxes to the Rcman Catholic School Com- mussioners, while maintaining the schools of thelr own falth.Subsequent action has, in more \u2018than one instance, failed to obtain relief.The case of ©t.Gregoire le Thaumaturge is still undecided, although the law provides that where such hardehip!exists it can be removed by an order-in-council.There is also the case of Longueuil, where an attempt is+being mede to prevent the minority taking advantage of the law to erect themselves into a new school municipality, to avoid paying taxes into the Roman Catholic schools.In this case the retired Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Hom.Mr.Ouimet, wrote to the school commissioners of Longueuil, pointing out that they ought to be ashamed of themselves for their treatment of the mincrity, the more especially as there was a cry all over the province for justice to their co-religionists im Manitoba.Since the act , which permitted of such s rate erections had been passed, nineteen Romam Catholic school bodies had availed themselves of its provisions, while only one Protestant community \u2018had made similar application.These mailers escape general observation, and it is alleged that the Protestant committee of tbe Council of Public In- ing cl a law which places the minority at serious disadvantage.Dr.Hemming, at the last meeting of the Protestant Committee, brought forward an important motion, which was, it is understood, relegated to a sub-commit- tes.Dr.Hemming proposed, first, that as in the remedial bill, about to be applied to the redress of the grievamces of the minority in Manitoba, the term \u2018dis- sentient\u2019 was nct employed, a person\u2019s religion determining, without question, the application of his taxes, the Protestants of Quebec should be similarly treated, and the mecessity of the erection of dissentient bodles, in order to escape double taxation, \u2018be done away with.Dr.Hemming explained the working of the law in this province, which frequently led to hardship, owing to the necessity fort the minority to declare themselves by forming a separate school municipality.As the minority in Manitoba were not asked to go to such trouble, the Protestants of Quebec should be placed upcn an equal footing in this regard.The simple fact of a man\u2019s religion should determine his taxes.@t was not so in Quebec, and wrongs had been committed through ignorance or megli- gence which bore heavily upon the minority, particularly in outlying districts where they were poor and scattered.The second point in the resclution was, that incorporated bodies should have the right, as individuals had ihe right,-t¢ declare into which pamel they wished io\" pay their sehool taxés.As a matter of fact, the incorporated bodies in this province, which are largely English and Protestant, pay their taxes into the government education fund.The Protestant proportion of this fund is naturaily small, and the bulk of it goes to the support of Roman Catholic education.The wealthy English Protestant companies, which car- Tx on the trade and industries of this \u2018province, are therefore, under the present law, supporting with their taxes Roman Catholic education in the Province oi Quebec.Dr.Hemming, by his motion, asked that this serlous \u2018grievance be removed, and that, in this second important Te- gard, the Protestants of Quebec should be placed upon an equal footing with the minority in Manitoba.RS THE FIGHT AT ADOWA.THREE THOUSAND ITALIANS SLAIN, INCLUDING TWO GENERALS.GEN.BARATIERI SAID TO HAVE COMMITTED SUICIDE\u2014ITALIAN CABINET RESIGNS.Rome, March 3.\u2014Further details of the battle fought between ,the Itauian' and Abyssinian troops cn March 1, show that the Italians were defeated with a loss of 3,000 killed, including Generals Daborima and Albertone.The fight lasted the entire day.Gener] Baratieri was wounded; Gen.Ellena and his forces and those under Gen.Arimond retired to Ade- caje, one hundred kilometres from Adowa.The government has called out the entire forces of 1872.London, March 3.\u2014A despatch from Rome to the \u2018Pall Mall Gazette\u2019 says is is rumorcd there that General Baratieri has committed suicide, teing unable to endure the humiliation of his defeat by the Abyssinians.Rome, March 3.\u2014The cabinet held a meeting to-day and decided to resign.\u2014\u2014\u2014 LAST NIGHT'S BIG STORM.Toronto, March 3.\u2014The two great railways running into Toronto are having considerable trouble again, owing to heavy snow blockades ou some of their branches.Last night the Midland route, which has been singularly.unfortunate this winter, was again in bad condition.The train due in the city at 9 p.m., was delayed at Stouffville by very heavy drifts, and did not arrive until this morning.The North Pay train due at 4,50 p.m., was over five hours late, and the Northern was over four hours behind time.The C.P.R.had to run a special train on tbe Teeswater branch, the regular train having missed the connection.| William Duncan,

Jan.27, 1896.In Windsor, Ont., \u20ac retell SITUATION IN CUBA.A BEPORT THAT GEN.WETLER HAS RESIGNED DENIED, Nsw York, March 3.\u2014A special to the \u2018Herald\u2019 from Havana says: The startling rumor that Captpin-General Weyiler had resigned, swept \u2018Hke wildfire through originating from an apparently rel e source.It was, however, promptly denied at the palace.Captain-General Weyler has been fn command hardly a month and his presence here is apparently glving good results to Spain, but Premier Canovas is determined in the interests of the Conservative party to hold elections in Cuba despite the war.The Liberals, both of Spain and Cuba, bitierly oppose the measure.ctf A WOMAN'S FEAT.Kingston, Ont, March 3.\u2014The Rev.C.A.French of Lombardy, Ont., writing to the press here, says his sister, wife of Archdeacon.Canbam, now of the Diocese of Selkirk, was the first white woman to cross the Rocky Mountains within the Arctic circle in winter, beating the famous trip of Lord Lonsdale, as was set forth in the Manchester \u2018Guardian,\u2019 after | Lord Lonsdale's return, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Washington, March 3.\u2014To-day !s expected to be a critical one in Spain and officials believe that the tide of publio feeling there will turn one way or an-' Gther before night.Everything is thought to depend upon the character of the reports cabled to the Spanish newspapers by thelr representatives here regarding the action of Congress.Naturally only the most sensational portions of epeeches against Spain are ordinarily published; doné given their due prominence.\u201d Under the circumstances the situation is regarded as possibly precarious for Americans in Spain, but confidence js expressed that if trcuble Is avelded to-day and no fuel is added to the flames already affecting the over-excitable Castil- ians, the danger point will te passed and the situation rapidly improve.The surprise expressed by European newspapers as to the action of the United States Congress, is repeated in guarded phrases by experienced members of the diplomatic corps.was to-day expressed by one very distinguished representative of a great nation as follows: The whole action of your Ccngress seems to me most unprecedented.I have never before known of a government proposing to interfere with the government of a colony of another power with which it is at peace.It is as if the British Parliament should pans resolutions condemning the French administration of Algeria, or as if the French Chamber of Deputies should resolve that the French-Canadians were not accorded rights in the Dominion of Canada.Then there seems to me such an apparent insinceriiy in the whole proceedings.Neither House of Congress has had the courage to put its resolutions in such shape as to demand executive action.Each \u2018has designated its Resolutions as, holed if they shouid ever reach the President, just as the Armenian resolutions have, b And neitfher Houme seems de- strous of Concurring with the other as to the wording of the resolutions, which thus seam likely to begleft banging in mid-air between the two Houses, as if the whole discussion was meant for what you call \u2018\u201cbuncombe.\u201d These seem to be the views of pretty sgarly all the diplomatic corps in shington except the representatives of the Latin-American states.me OUTWITTED BY.MR.KRUGEX.New York, March 3.\u2014The London correspondent of the \u2018Tribune\u2019 says: An astonishing disclosure made yesterday concerning the terms of Dr.\u2018Jameson\u2019 surrender, shows that -President Kruger outwitted Mr.Chamberlaln at onc stage of the Transvaal crisis.The fllibusterers had provided for their own rafety before Mr.Chamberlain teok \u2018them unger his protection and had made terms with President Kruger.Somebody was hocdwinl:ed, apparently Sir Hercules Rcb- inson, and President Kruger has been thanked by the Queen for magnahimity in regard to the terms stipulated by the troopers when they surrendered.\u2014_\u2014p\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014= \u2026 TORONTO WATER SUPPLY.Toronto, March 3.\u2014The important and costly report of the famous English engineer, Mr.Mansergh, was received from England by Mayor Fleming this mcrning.It demolishes the Hurontario aqueduct scheme and emphatically favors a water supply from Lake Ontario.This is copsidered a fstal blow to the aqueduct boom.1 armel PRESIDENT CLEVELAND IN NEW .YORK.Washington, March 3.\u2014President Cleve- ber, left Washington at eleven o'clock this morning for New York, where -the President will préside to-night at a meeting of the Home Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church, to be held in Carnegie Hall.;

the meeting had been +d s2 as to glve citizens an oppor- vin:iy to express their views tn regard :9 Lhas proposed big exhibition, which its -moters wanted to be held in May x.The exhibition so far, the Mayor -veained, had certainly partaken very such of the character of a business en- \u2018-rprise, and had been gotten up by peo- p'a who were anxious to make it pay.\u201cha proposed exhibition, however, had teil so largely advertised that he was à'rtid it had gone abroad to the world a: It partook of far more than a private en:erprise, and that it was to be held un ier the muspices of the City of Mont- reit, and, indeed, he might say of Canada g erally, if we were to judge from the mt 1.derbleiianii could to make such an exhibition a success.A doubt seemed to exist lp the minds of many people as to whether the exhibition could be got ready in the time specified.All the present buildin®s were ready for occupation, and he was informed that it was only intended by the company to build two more.The buildings to be erected by the concessionnaires would, no doubt, be properly looked after.In order to carry out the exhibition, it would be necessary either to obtain a guarantee fund, or to form, in Montreal, a joint stock company of $50,- 000, at least.Reporis were then heard from officials of the British Empire Exposition Com- peny.Mr.Mackie, one of the advertising commissioners explained how one hundred prominent exhibitors in Paris had formed themselves into a committee to bring exhibits to this city for the proposed international fair; and how exhib- tors in Italy, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, India and in a number of other countries had applied for advertising space.He could now promise exhibits from these countries which would cover no less than fifteen thousand square feet.For his part he thought there was time to hold a very creditable exhibition this year.- Mr.Scott explained how he had worked to get the exhibitors in the United States and how he was now in a position to guarantee exhibitors who would .take up at least six thousand square .feet of land.He complained, however, that on account of the un condition the project was now in that he had been com- palled to drop all negotiations.If it wag decided to drop the scheme it wculd certainly place him in a most unpleasant position with exhibitors, whom he would have to notify by circulars that Montreal had let the project fall through.If be were only given proper encouragement he could guarantee two hundred and fifty exhibitors from the United States.He hoped the business men of Montreal would not have it go forth that they had not the enterprise to carry out the exhibition.Mr.John H.Boyd reported how he had advertised the project in France, Germany, Italy, and very many other cities, clippings from hundreds of papers com- it/ every success, It did seem to him tKat Montteal could not under these cir- mstances decide to drop the project.He was sure there was plenty of time to get up a very creditable exhibition this year.Mr.Dalby then presented a report signed by himself, Messrs.John Hyde, J.Cradock Simpson and H.Laporte.It stated that they had been requested by the gentlemen how in control of the British Empire Exposition Company to make an investigation into the present condition of the enterprise, and to report as to the feasibility of the city and the citizens giving the company their endor- sation and financial assistance.As thorough an investigation as possible in the limited time at the committee's disposal had been made.It was only proper, however, to state that, in the : -rature that we have seen.Ome thing, Lever, was quite apparent, and that +13 the citizens should decide at once \"1ther or not Montreal should have an absence

it.might be sufficient to state that without large and immediate financial assistance, the company was not in a position to carry out its scheme.It had incufred known liabilities of $18,000, and \u2018further Uabili- ties of an unknown, but, no doubt, considerable amount, which it was not in a position now to liquidate, and before it could even get its lease from the Montreal Exposition Company, it would have to deposit a sum of $25,000.The question, therefore, was whether it was better to form a new company under guar- arteed capital.A successful \u2018international exposition in Momtreal this year would unquestionably confer large benefits on the city and the Dominion.Fhe present.scheme had been excellently advertised, and the t.me chosen had been opportune.Public expectation abroad.with regard to the exhibition had been raised to a high pitch, and the scheme could not be abandoned without exposing Montreal to some severe criticism.The committee did rot feel justified in recommending an attempt to hold Exposition was not sufficiently advented, although much had been done.Any attempt at this date to limit the scope of the exhibition would only have the effect of lessening the number of exhibitors.The publie had been led to expect an exhibition om a magnificent scale and any exhibition held this year would end in disappointment to visitors; it would be weak in all sections representing the British Empire, conspicuously in the Canadian section.If the company's scheme had to result in a flasco, Montreal was, in no sense at present, responsible for it.The

of this doubtful enterprise; but it appeared to the committee that the good faith of Montreal might be pat beyond question 4if a report were made by the City Coufal in favor of general preparations being made for the holding of an exposition during the summer of 1897.A letter was read from Mr.T.Mussen, one of the committee, who Was unable to be present, which stated that\u201che bad mo fath in the original financial orgamiza- tion and therefore it should be discarded.However, some compensation should be given those who had worked so hard and done so much to get up the exhibition.If the exhibition was to be held this year an entirely new company with a capital of at least $250,000 should be at once formed.A very creditable exhibition could be held this year in June or July.In the event of a new organization being formed, the Corporation of Montreal and the Federal and Local Governments should be asked to countenance and assist it.\u2019 Mr.Richard White wrote saying that

project was dropped the better.It must, he Wrote, be borne in mind that Montreal was not responsible for the advertisements regarding the exhibition which had appeared in England and other foreign countries.Mr.Alfred Perry was very wrathy over the way certain individuals, for the sake of making money, bad gone to - work and advertised all over the world - he was willing to do all he an immense exhibition.\u2018I would like to know, he went on flercely, \u2018 who gave these men the right to use the name of Montreal in this manner ?Montreal, I \u2018&ay,\u2019won\u2019t stand this kind of interference.\u2018We have men in our midst who are cap: able of getting up a big exhibition whem we want one.These foreign gentlemen have gone to work and got together a lot of mummies from the east to exhibit in our city, instead of getting Canadian products to exhibit.Again I say, Mont- realers will not tolerate this kind of thing.\u2019 A voice\u2014* Oh, shut up.\u2019 \u2018Yes, yes, sit down,\u2019 came a cliorus of yells.For fully five minutes the din was so great that only Mr.Perry's lips could be seen moving.At last silence -was restored by the Mayor threatening to leave the chair.Mr.J.H.Wood thought that the meeting should have been postponed until the arrival of Mr.Stiles from England, so that that gentleman could have been heard.He comsidered it the work of a clique.Mr.Walter showed how such an exhibition could only be a success when got up by the solid business interests.He thought a great deal of unauthorized work had been done by outsiders and trusted such a thing would never occur again.Mr.Stanley Bagg thought there was yet time to get up the exhibition, and for his part was willing to give it pecuniary aid.Mr.Joseph Haines contended that the project should be postponed.Mr.John Hyde thought the city had been called in at a very late hour to endorse the scheme which had been got up by outsiders.He dwelt upon the fact that there had been no public endorsa- tion of the scheme whatever, and expressed displeasure at the way the name of Montreal had been umed abroad.He thought that the proposal to hold the exhibition should be postponed until 1897 or 1898, and in the meantime let the different Boards of Trade be represented, and hé was sure that Montreal would show that when it undertook anything as a city it would be a grand success.Mr.D.A.McCord proposed the following, seconded by Mr.H.Laporte:\u2014 \u2018That a committee composed of the Mayor, the President of the Board of Trade, the Presideht of the Chambre de Commerce, Messrs.George Hague, H.Montagu Allan, W, W.Ogilvie, Sir Donald Smith, Hugh McLennan, Hon.G.Drummond, H.Laporte, R.Stanley Bagg, Bdgar Judge, Sir William Van Horne, C.M.Hays, L- J.Forget,

T.Berthiaume, Ald.Savignac, Hon, J.O.Villeneuve, W.Darlington and P.J.Ryan, be appointed to consider the whole matter of holding an exposition, and report thereon with the least possible de-'| lay\u2014within three days.\u2019 The motion was concurred in and the meeting adjourned.NOT IN FAVOR OF POSTPONEMENT.\u2018The suggestion of the Mayor that the\u2019 exhibition might be postponed till next ear ig not favored either by those wha have contracted to bring on thait ax- hibits and attractions or by a comsider- | able number of citizens, who are prepared\u2019 to subscribe to the stock of the company, when that is organized with local representation.As for the former, not a few of them are under agreement for other expositions next year.Then there is the fact that they have already gone to considerable expense in preparing their exhibits for the Montreal exhibition in May.With regard to those who have desired the exhibition this year.and who are ready to subscribe to the funds of the company, these say that if it be not held this year it will be impossible to realize it next year.There is talk in exhibition, in that city next year.Apart from this, if Montreal wers to sccre another failure after ali the work which has been dome she could nevgr hope to make a success of a large enterprise of the kind in the future.In nearly every country in the world Montreal has been advertised as the scene of a great exhibition this summer.If it {fails, there will be such distrust engendered as will make it impossible to create a general interest in any future effort of a similar sort.Moreover, Montreal, they say, Teeds the exhibition especially this year, because trade is dull and merchants are crying out that there is no money.Next year the city might not feel so keenly the need of such a stimulus.There is a great deal of idleness in the city; labor ts.cheap; and it is urged, from -ail these considerations that the matier should now be energetically taken in hand and pushed to a successfu] conclusion.PT ORMSTOWN.At the monthly meeting of the council held here last evening a large deputation of the ladles of the village walted upon the councillors and pregented da

bouse, 191 Bleury street, that the break occurred, and from here the water wend along Ontario street, and some of it back again along St.Urbain to 8t.Catherine streets.Not until 1.30 this morning was the torrent checked, previous to which the mad rush of water had flooded all the cellars on the east side of Bleury between Oniario and St.Catherine streets) The water in Mr.John Scanlan's cellar, corner Ontario and Bleury streets, rose to over two feet, compistely destroying many barrels of sugar, boxes of soap, starch and other groceries.Mr.Scanlan's horses had a narrow escape from being drowned in their stable, where the water rose to a height of four feet.Lieutenant Murphy very courageously waded in to the assistance of the shivering brutes, and succeeded in getting them out in safety.The damages resulting from the flood cannot yet be properly estimated.Speaking of the break Mr.Laforest, acting-superintendent ol the Water Department.said this morning, \u2018Of course, I cannct as yet give any reason for the breaking cf the pipe, but the probabilities ars that frost was the cause oi the disaster.Heavy frosts and sudden thaws are always very hard on pipes.The men will reach the broken main some time to-day arg then we shall know the cause of the break.Only a week ago I got a report that many of the big valves had been inspected and had been found in good order.\u2019 \u2018How was it that the valves were not closed down sooner and the break was not shut off fer nearly two hours after it was noticed 7\u201d \u2018For various reasons.One was, that we bad to close no less than tourtedn valves befora we could close in the break.Some of the valves ran from Sherbrooke sireet away down to Craig street.Another reason was that owing to there being no place for our men to sleep at tne La- gauchetiere street works, we have, when wo need them in an emergency, to send to their homes and rouse them up.Then again, we have not nearly enough men to call on in case of a break at night.I shall urge that more nigh! inspectors be appointed without delay.For nearly two hours last night there was little or no pressure, whioh if a fire had happened to break out would have been found a pretty serious affair.If I had had more night inspectors and could have summoned them at 5 moment's notice the water would have been shut off much gooner than it was.By to-morrow morning I think the break will be repaired.\u2019 [> THE VOTERS\u2019 LISTS.THEY MAY ALL HAYE TO BE GONE OVER AGAIN Owing to a notice in the Quebec \u2018Ofi- ctal Gazette,\u201d which says

before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in February, 1894, but no judgment was given until July 18 last, when the decision of the Court was privately communicated to the Colonial Office.Upon learning of this long delay, and of the ultimate issue, Mr.Perks, M.P., communicated with Mr.Chamberlain, who has now promised that the judgment in question shall be shortly issued as a Parllamentary paper.The Press Association understands that the effect of the judgment is to uphold the validity of mixed marriages by Protestant clergymen between Protestants and Roman Catholics in Malta.\u2014London \u2018Times.\u2019 THE DÉED WAS ANNULLED, AN IMPORTANT JUDGMENT OF INTEREST TO PURCHASERS OF PROPERTY.Judge Curran rendered a very important judgment this morning in the case of Roy vs.Rastoul.The plaintiff, Mrs.Augustin Lorrain, a widow, took out her action under the following circumstances: Wishing to invest certain moneys which she bad and thus secure a revenue of five to six percent she bought from the defendant, Dolphis Rastoul, for $6,150, a property on Cherrier street, represented by him to yield a revenue of forty-two dollars per month.Now, the declaration alleged that plaintiff who had no experience in real estate and had relied on the defendant, found\u2019out that the upper portion of the house, instead of giving a rental of twenty-two dollars, as alleged, only brought eighteen, the lease being concocted, and the lower portion occupied at the time by the vendor himself could not rent for more than.fourteen, although it had been represented as worth {wenty dollars per month.The declaration further alleged that the property was worth $4,500 at the highest, and defendant had extorted from plaintiff at least $1,650, bavinig himself bought the place for four thousand dollars.The plaintiff prayed, in consequence that the deed of sale be set aside and declared fraudulent and that defendant be condemned to reimburse her the $6,150, unless he preferred to allow the feed to stand good and pay her $1,650, difference between the price paid and the real value of the property.The plea to the action denied any frau- duledt intenpions and held that, although defendant had paid only $4,200 for the property, the improvements made by him upon it, brought its fair market value to the price for which it was sold to the plaintiff.\u2019 In rendering judgment the Court held that Mrs.Lorrain had been imposed upon by the false repr®sentations of the de- fendunt.The property could not reailze a rental of more than thirty-two dellars or thirty-four dollars per month, and Rastoul knew this when he represented said rental to be higher.The lease with \u2018the upper tenant bore evidence of fraudulent concoction.When the plaintiff bought tho property it was with the understanding that she would derive a monthly revenue of forty-two dollars therefrom, and this understanding formed the basis of her contract.The highest figure at which the property can now be estimated is $5.540, including the improvements made.False and fraudulent representations were made to induce the plaintiff to enter into the contract now complained of.For all those reasons the dead of sale must be set aside and defendant condemned to reimburse plaintiff the purchase price, $6,150, unless he chooses, within fifteen days to allow the deed to stand good by paying her.with interest, $605, original purchase price and the highest estimated value of the property.2 MORE ARMENIAN OUTRAGES.Constantinople, March 3.\u2014The Armenian Relief Committee have' sent

Quebec, Feb.24.\u2014Quebec in winter! The average New Yorker shivers and shrugs his shoulders at the bare thought of going into what to his mind is merely a region of cold blasts and mcostrous snow drifts.Every one knows the Quebec of the school geography, and the pictures of the \u2018citadel, tower, town and terrace\u2019 are almost as familiar as the representations of the Houses of Parliament in London.To begin with, the trip across the ice- choked St.Lawrence from Levis is an experience that even the hardy commuters from New Jersey, who are oc- caslonally stalled in the Hudson, would not sneer at.The Citadel looms up before one, and its graceful outlines, with here and there the muzzle of a cannon showing itself, is bound to make a profound impression on the visitor who is looking om the old French town for the finst time.Very French is Quebec.Nine- tentks of the population use the language to the exclusion of English, and to the remaining tenth it is ws familiar as choicest Anglo-Saxon.The majority of the newspapers of the city are published in French, and the carnival number lish paper in the town, is published with duplicate columns, one in French and one in English.QUEBEC HORSES.apt to foreibly, impress itself on stran- gera from the United States is the typical ers from the United States is the typical cab horse.These little animals, for they would certainly be eligible for the pony class, are apparently made of iron.They never seem to tire.Up the hills they go on a dead run, and seem to use but two gaits, a run or a walk.The drivers, too, are worthy of mention.Some of them wear fur coals and caps that wouid grace a Fifth avenue belle.In many of the little sledges or carioles, as they | are called, wlll be found amomg other fur robes an ocasicnal buffalo robe.These are growing scarcer and scarcer, however.and, as the carters are gradually leatning their true value, they are not seen so often as they were a short time azo.Being almost the last point in civilization before striking a wast wilderness that strejehes away toward the Arctic circle, evidences of hunting and fishing ebsund.The other day two beautiful caribou were seen in front of a Fabrique street shoe store marked \u2018A Vendre.\u2019 In the principal town is a magnificent lake trout.killed last summer in Lake Si.John by G.M.Fairchild, Esq., one of Quebec\u2019s.representative sportsmen.During the season wild meat is apparently more plentiful than tame.Last fall a caribou was seen to swim the St.Lawrence within rifle shot of Dufferin Terrace.This in a city of upwards of eighty thousand inhabitants.MONTMORENCI FALLS.Of course everyone knows about the winter eports of Canada, but there are one or two pastimes peculiar to Quebec- kans that are worthy of special mention.One of these is toboganning on the \u2019cone\u2019 at the falls of Montmorenci.This is an immense pile of snow and ice, caused by the freezing spray from the falls.The sides are dlmost perpendicular, and in some cases quite so.Ordinary tobogganing on the average chute is child\u2019s play to this.After the novice hias mustered uff courage enough to try the descent, a thing, by the way, that is more often the exception than the rule, he is told to bold on and shut his eyes, leaving the rest to his Canadian friend.Then comes a sudden sinking sensation, a rush through the air, and one is gliding over the frozen surface of the St.Lawrence.Falling off.a roof is not to be compared to the feeling.It would be fairer to compare it with a fall from the summit of the Matterhorn into Zermatt.A trip that is seldom missed by visi- tore to Quebec is to the shnine of Ste.Anne de Beaupre.This is the pilgrimage shrine at which so many miracles are yearly reported.The local church is of ancient foundation, and is much venerated by the fatthful.À modern edifice has of Tecent years been erected to accommodate the throngs of pilgrims who journey thereto.To.SOCIAL LIFE.The social life of Quebec is delightful.The two clubs are the Union and the Garrison.The latter was originally founded by the officers of the citadel and civilians were not admitted to membership.When thie main body of British troops wes) withdrawn, however, eligible citizens were mliowed all the.privileges.The citadel! is now garrisoned by a detachment of the Royal Canadian Artillery.The club's home under the walls of the citadel is a delMghtful is the scene of much jollity.Decorations are in keeping with -the club's original of the \u2018Daily Telegraph,\u2019 the leading Eng- |.place and.present, still down in his heart, the \u201chabitant\u2019 mourns for Montoaim and his memory, together with the memory of other French heroes, will remain fresh always.He scorns modern agricultural implements, and farms it as did his grandfathers.Even certain garments modelied after\u2019 the time of Jacques Cartier, are worn by the \u2018habitants.\u2019 Down the St.Lawrence, a mile or two, is the island of Orleans, a section almost as full of histerical memories: as Quebec itself.Here were many of the preliminary operations during the campaign which resulted in the fall of Quebec and the beginning of English rule in Canada.The island is a favorite resort for Quebec people in summer.But after all the great resort for well-to-do Quebec people is the Lake St.John country.Here are many beautiful club houses and ledges.Of late years the district of Quebec has enjoyed a wide popularity among American sportsmen as the one section of the country yet remaining which is still replete with fish and game and sufficiently accessible for the average man of business or professional affairs.Much of the government wild lands and waters have been leamed to incorporated olubs organized for fishing ahd hunting purposes, experience having shown that all such organizations are the great conservators and protectors of game.It is asserted that all game 13 more abundant to-day within the Quebec district than it was ten years ago.Some of the prominent clubs are Little Saguenay Fish and Game Club, Lauren- tides Club, Tourilli Club, Stadacona Club, Triton Club, Metabetchouan Fishing and Game Club, Paradise Fur and Feather Club, Springfield Club, Philadelphia Fishing and Game Club, Lake Kiskisink, Lake Montauban and the Lake Edward.eee THE SIR JOHN THOMPSON WREATH.There was a session of the Exchequer Court, in this city, this morning.The roll included three cases, and the first one taken up was that of W.B.Davidson vs.the Queen.This will be remembered as a dispute over the amount charged by Messrs.Davidson & Sons, florisis, of this city, to the Ottawa Government, for the wreath and flowers furnished by them on the occasion o! the funeral of the late Sir John Thompson.The account was $1,925, of which $900 has already been pald, and the balance is disputed.The Messrs.Davidson were examined at full length on the different items making up the account.Two other cases, Davidson vs, the Queen, and Lacouture vs.the Queen, which are claims on account of ficoding by the canal, will be called to-morrow.> \u2018WILL INVESTIGATE, Superintendent Hughes had an audience with the Mayor relative to the charges made against two policemen of taking money from men who aspired to figure on the finest,\u201d and promising them appeintments.It was decided to hold an investigation into the matter in the Mayor's office to-morrow morning at ten o'clock.The policemen in question bave been notifled to attend.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 BLACK KNIGHTS OF IRELAND.London, Ont.March 3.\u2014The Annual Convention of the Provincial Grand Black Chapter of Ontario West, Royal Black Knights of Ireland, was concluded here this morning.The officers were reelected for the year.Among the prominent members present were Sir Knight W.A.Lee, of Toronto; Grand Master of British America, and Sir Knight W.J.Parkhill, of Midland, Past Grand Master of British America.The annual report of the reg'etrar, Mr.W.G.McAndrews, of Hamilton, showed that five new preceptories, with a charter l\u2018st of 112 members, had been formed during the year.ep\u2019 MEÉTINGS AND SOCIETIES.GUILD OF ST.MATTHIAS\u2019S CHURCH.Last nlght the annual meeting o!

Panes Celry Conpound Woman's Tower of Safety in the Spring Season.IT HAS A MARVELLOUS RECORD.\u2014 Cures When All Other Medl- cines Fail.The Home Friend of Half a Million Canadian Families.The world has never heard of a medicine so highly recommended as Paine\u2019s Celery Compound.It has a world-wide reputation, because it \u2018makes people well.\u2019 = | Paine*s Celery Compound is known as \u2018 Woman's Tower of Safety.\u201d As the seasons come with trying amd varied weather, women of all conditions find in Paine\u2019s Celery Compound a life-giver and health-preserver, It establishes that perfect condition of health that keeps the user far above any depressing influence of variable weather.It feeds the great nervous system and keeps the blood pure and fresh.For weakness, prostration, nervousness, rheumatism, dyspepsia, indigestion, headache and neuralgia, this marvellous discovery of Prof.Phelps has no equal.It always cures when other medicines prove useless, and to-day Paine\u2019s Celery Compound is the chosen medicine in balf-a-million of Canadian homes.Miss Bridges, of Montreal, says: \u2018I consider it a pleasure as well as a duty to put om.record what Paine\u2019s Celery Compound has done for me.I suffered for years from indigestion, headache, pains in the back and side, and from a nervous, tired feeling.I used many patent medicines without any good results.\u2019 I was also attended by one of the best doctors and used his medicines, but could mot get cured.\u20181 saws Paine\u2019s Celery Compound advertised, and decided to try a bottle.It gave me such good results that I used six bottles, and found myself altogether a new person.I have now used it for some time, and can say with pleasure that all my troubles are banished; my nerves are strong, my sleep is good, and appetite splendid.\u2018I would therefore strongly recommend Palne\u2019's Celery Compound to /all who suffer as I did; they are sure\u2019 and certain of good results.\u2019 OT NEWSPAPERS Suitable for wrapping purposes, male at the \u2018Witness\u2019 Office, in 10-1b.packages, at $1 per 100 lbs.\u201c28 \\ THE BELL NUISANCE AT THE HOTEL DIEU.(To the Editor of the \u2018 Witness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014I trust you will allow me to \u2018protest in the \u2018 Witness \u2019 against the serious nuisance caused by the \u2018dreadful bell\u2019 of the Hotel Dieu.Every day the clanging begins at 5 a.m., and goes on almost incessantly until 8 a.m.Between that hour and 8.30 p.m.the bell is rung about twenty times.The noise is so loud as to disturb the sleep Of scores of persons.Saveral known to me are sufferers from insomnia, to whom a few hours\u2019 rest in the early morning is indispensable to health.Almost every morning one lady, when disturbed, moans out, \u2018 Oh! those cruel nuns!\u2019 for the bell is rung at 5 a.m.solely to summon the \u2018 community\u2019 of dadies to their devotions.Why cannot they go to mass several hours before daylight without advertising their movements at the expense of the health and comfort of scores of ne ghbors ?Persons in delicate health and all light sleepers, brain workers especially, get their most refreshing sleep in those hours before daylight which the rulers of the Hotel Dieu insist upon disturbing.The plea that the bell is needed to call worshippers to \u2018service is nonsense in these days.Are there no clocks in the Hotel Dieu ?How is it that all the great hospitals of Europe, many of them known to me, manage to get along without making a great moise at 5 a.m.?That bell as it aggravates the sufferings of the sick is a heartless, cruel nuisance.1 appeal to Sir William Hingston and his colleagues of the medical faculty of the Hotel Dieu to use their influence in having this abomination suppressed, as it is am inhuman outrage on the quietude of the neighbors.A VICTIM.\u2014\u2014\u2014 A PSALM OF ART.4 If you want to make a fashionable poster For to advertise a novel or a pil\u2014 You can do it, sir, and be a smiling hoaster That the selling is a matter of your skill, You must draw a dame with awful angularity In ea landscape that\u2019s geometry run mad; Give her frock a sweep with long particularity, And La pattern that no raiment ever N.B.\u2018Oh, the sky 9t must ba green, and the tree it must be blue !
