Canada from 1862 to 1870, and it is to be hoped that the business community will heartily support the action that may be taken by the bankers section of the Board of Trade in this matter.The motion to adopt the report having been seconded: by Mr.E.Lichtenhein, vice-president, was unanimously carried.After the usual votes of thanks the meeting proceeded to the election of directors, the old board being unanimously re-elected as follows: W.Weir, E.Lichtenhein, A.S.CG.Wurtele, F.W.Smith and Godfrey Weir.The meeting then adjourned.' At a subsequent meeting of the direc- in AT ts mb nm en EE EE AE oy TT \u2018torà Messrs.W.Weir, and E.Lichtenbein \u2018 were re-elected president and vice-presi- dent respectively: : \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 MR.McDONALD'S GIFT.McGILL UNIVERSITY HAS COMPLIED WITH ALL THE CONDITIONS.\u2014\u2014 All the conditions attached to Mr.W.C.McDonald's princely gift of $500,000 to McGill University have now been met and the receipt of the money is assured.When the gift was made some months ago there were certain conditions attached to $350,000 of it.The remaining $150,- 000 was paid to the university almost immediataly, but it is only recently that the necessary conditions have been ful- fllled and the larger portion of the gift has been assured.A great portion of the $350,000 will be devoted to the erection of a chemical building.The structure will be an imposing one and as regards equipment it will be superior to any similar building on this continent.At present Mr.W.C.McDonald, Dr.Harrington and Dean Bovey ate making visits to the great universities ot the United States to get ideas as to the corstruction, etc., of the building.They will thus have the benefit of the experience gained in the construction of such buildings and will avoid any features which have proved undesirable since their erection.The outfit of the mining and metallurgy departments of such a building include a large amount of expensive apparatus and such practical features as a blast furnace and other large affairs.The rumors that Mr.McDonald had increased his gift to $1,000,000 or had made an additional gift of $1,000,000, is denied by the authorities of the college.The secretary, Mr.Brakenridge, has written to Mr.Arthy of the Protestant Board of School Commissioners informing him that after the coming session there will be no further exemptions from the tuition fees of the college course granted to pupils coming from their schools.The same change will be made regarding pupils ot the McGill Normal School.This does away with the last of the exemptions granted by the governors of the university.An effort has been made to induce donors of gifts to the university to sign off their rights to grant free tuitions.This, of course, refers in no way .to the exhibitions and medals which are endowed by individual funds.:

to surprises\u2014after the elections.There is one in store for them in the present instance prior to the election.Protest- tant electors have been startled at the manner in which the Quebec minority are treated when the treatment of the Manitoba Catholic minority is in question.One of the most outrageous acts was tre | St.Gregoire le.Thaumatiurge- afta = If caused so much indignation among 'Pre- testants that many Conservatives declared they would vote against the government.Some Conservatives even threatened to oppose the Hon.Mr.At- water, whether the Liberals did so or not.Thé matter caused so much excitement fh Conpervative ranks as to reach almost a panic, as the following Jetter will show: Montreal, May 27, 1896, Daniel Drummond, Esq., Petite Cote de la Visitation, near Montreal: My Dear Mr.Drummond,\u2014Accept my thanks for your letter of the 23rd, containing s¢:'clear an account of the troubles of St.Gregoire.I! was glad to notice in yesterday\u2019's \u2018Gazette\u2019 that they had been settled, although I notice that the settlement |g not retroactive.I understand that it was impossible for the government to make it go.I will be very glad if there should he anything I can do at any time to put matters right.I sincerely hope that the above annoyance has not soured any of your 'good Conservative friends and keep them from voting right in the coming elections, as it is going to be a hard fight and I sincerely hope you and your friends will do everything in your power to as tive candidates.Yours truly, 'W.W.OGILVIE.That Mr.Ogilvie was alarmed goes without saying.That he was concerned because the settlement of the matter by the government was not retroactive is shown by his regrets.It evidently is not so serious a matter, however, that the Protestants were-to-be-defranded of thrée years\u2019 thxes, as fhat'the Conservatives were \u2018soured\u2019 and wene going to vote against the government because of their treatment in the matter.It wai going to be \u2018a hard fight,\u2019 and the assistance of all was required.Another reason for doing something to set matters right was Mr.Atwater\u2019s elec- assist the Conserva~ tion.It would never do-to have him defeated.Therefore something had to be done.It was announced in the \u2018Gazette\u2019 that the whole matter was settled.Mr.Atwater made that announcement himself.Some signed his nomination paper that might have opposed him if the St.Gregoire matter was not arranged satis-\u2019 factorily.: Now it turns out that the Protestants have been deceived.They trusted the word and honor of the gentlemen who told them the matter had been settled.That was as far back.as May 27.Mr.Atwater was elected by acclamation some days later.Now under date of June 12 we are told by.tbe Superintendent of Education that the matter is not yet set- tled\u2014that it is yet under consideration of the government and \u2018that there is- a doubt that the settlement will take place.The following is the official \u2018communication which contains the aanouncement.Department of.\u2018Public Tastraction, TT Quebec, Jon.12, .1898.Mr.D.Drummond,\u201d Sec.-Treas.S.-Bèard, Petite Cote,

this was proved by the percentages gained by boys at the McGill examinations.He referred to the nece of a thorough knowledge of English mar in addition to other English subjeCts.In regard to French it had been, since Christmas, made one of the strongest features of the school and he had no doubt but that the school would excel it in the future.Mr.Davies statement that he had secured the continued services of Mr.T.Holmes-Orr and Mr.Arblaster was received with applause by the pupils and their friends.Dr.Davidson, Q.C., having also spoken the presentation of prizes was proceeded with.The prize-list was as under: Form V.\u2014A.Radford and H.Brainerd ;

if pulpits can make their voices heard above the din of political and partisan strife, let men listen thereunto.The righteousness \u2018 which exalteth a nation \u2019' referred to in our text, embraces a righteousness in administration\u2014it means true religion in the affairs of our national life.One of the most natural and most powerful means of advancing our national righteousness consists in advancing the religious life of our country, and if religion is to change the commonwealth, then that religion must have its origin with the individual, for we can determine \u2018the character and complexion of a country by the character of the individuals which populate it.Here is no Czar who rules with a rod of oppression; here we should have no hierarchy dictating where and for whom a man\u2019s vote shall be cast.Let us remember that every man who is in power Is placed there by the votes of the elector, and it the political streams are not pure we must look for the reason at the bottom\u2014 at the spring\u2014rather than on the surface.So long as a man is willing to give his vote for a bribe, so long will men be found willing to pay for it.Surely, it seems to me, the time bas come for every right-minded man to fulfil his duty.The church, we confess, bas long enough failed to fulfll her duty for we recognize there are just and legitimate grounds on which she should utter no uncertain sound.Lord Nelson inspired his men by floating aloft the banner on which was inscribed, \u2018 England expects every man to do his duty.\u2018 If Canada has any message to-day to deliver, it surely is, \u2018she expects every man to do his duty.\u201d We read in those ancient days, the Lord sat over against the treasury and saw men casting therein; and in these days that same Lord just as truly sits by the ballot box and sees men casting therein their votes.I charge you to vote in the fear of the Lord as in the sight of the Lord, for you will surely have to answer for the wielding of that substance of power, the ballot, which is placed in the hands of every elector of this country.Do your duty according to your best judgment, implore parden for our national sins and thank God for an opportunity of doing what you can to purge out the old leaven and send to the head of affairs the very best men in the country.rns USED SUNDAY STREET CARS.Kingston, Ont., June 16.\u2014Eight thousand persons attended the Free Methodist camp meeting at Lake Ontario Park on Sunday, nearly all of whom were carried out by electric cars.The cars were continually crowded and resembled a crush for a circus rather than a religious meeting.The city clergymen denounced the desecration.\u2018The Rev.Dr.Ryckman voiced their opinion: \u2014\u2018 The great majority of those who go out to the park to-day go, not for the purposes of quiet and seemly worship, but for the sake of amusement; and I can think but little of the men who, regardless of the honor of God or the sacredness of his day, use the cars to carry such loads of sightseers and fun-seekers to the park for the sake of the little money the company can make by such means.\u201cI do not see how people calling themselves Methodists can so far forget all the teachings they have ever had concerning the sacredness of the Lord's day as to enter into contract with the car company to run their cars on the Sabbath.Moreover, it seems to me that it is very inconsistent for those who rail at pew rents as they are taken in the churches, to demand a fee off those who attend the services, unless, indeed, they use the cars.\u2019 + tle + I NEW SCHOOL FOR KINGSTON.Kingston, Ont., June 15.\u2014The new Frontenac school building is rapidly rising., On Friday, Mr.Robert Meek, chairman of the public school board, laid the Addresses were also made by Mr.John McIntyre, Q.C., chairman of the Collegiate Institute Board, Mayor Elliott, and the Rev.Dr.W.I.Shaw, of Montreal, who gave greetings from seven thousand Montreal school ¢hildren.Dr.Shaw is a Kingstonian %nd is proud of the education received here.ing reared is the tenth and_ the board has $112,000 invested in buildings and equipment.COMMERCIAL, WITNESS OFFICE, Tuesday.June 18, 1893 WHOLEBALE PRICES.Cable advices to the Board of Trade this morning are as follows.\u2014London, June 18, 1896.\u2014Cargoes off coast, wheat steady,maize quiet;

This fellow\u2014(pointing to one of the figures) is myself.I do not know whether it is a good portrait of me or not.You may be judges of that.The other fellow ja Sir Richard.We are represented as the enemies and tvrants of the workingmen.Here we are represented, Sir Richard and myself, as screwing down the poor workingman, whom you see there winking pitifully.This is intended as a representation of the policy of the Liberal party, of which Sir Richard and I are the representatives.It is alleged that when we come into office we shall put the screws upon the workingman and make his position far worse than it is at the present time.Do you remember the story of Balaam in Sacred Writ?Balaam was called to curse the people of God.\u2018While he was on his way to accomplish his mission, the ass upon which be rode found speech to give him warning, and told him that if he were to go and curse the people of God he would be a greater ass than the ass that carried him.Balaam, after getting the warning from the speech of the ass, came to the people of God, but instead of cursing them as he had intended to do, he gave them his blessing.The Conservative party is the Balaam of the present day.I am pot comparing myself to the people of God, but still I compare them to Balaam.There was some ass that gave them warning and told them that, if they were to curse Laurier and Cartwright, they would be greater asses than the ass that carried Balaam.(Laughter.) Instead of showing to you that we are oppressing the workingman, look at this picture and you will see that we are lifting the burden from off his shoulders.I am turning the screw not from right to left to press down upon him, but from left to right.(Cheers.) And there you have it.In the view of the Ministerial party, when we come into office, Sir Richard Cartwright, much maligned man as he is, and I, much maligned as I am, instead of turning down the screw upon the poor man, are turning up the screw from off him, and relieving him from the position in which he is now writhing.I do not know who is the ass that has inspired this Balaam, but the Balaam has spoken very effectively and I give him my best thanks for it.(Cheers.) Mr.gLaurier then moved on to the school* question, alluding to the way in which the Conservative party have sought to create racial and religious hatred throughout the country by appealing to prejudice in Manitoba as they have appealed to prejudice in Quebec.Hè promised those present that, if he was elected, he would, with the help of Sir Oliver Mowat settle the question satisfactorily without appeñling to the pre- Judices of either Catholics or Protestants, but by appealing to the sense of justice which is implanted by the Creator in the heart of every man.Urging the electors of the eight divisions of Montreal to return eight Liberals and stating that he counted upon them to do so, Mr.Laurier concluded his address amid enthusisastic applause.Mr.Lockerby then introduced Oliver Mowat as the next speaker.Sir Oliver Mowat, Premier of Ontario, was received with enthusiastic applause, and it was several minutes before he could gain a hearing.At last the cheering ceased and Sir Oliver commenced his address.He spoke for about three- quarters of an hour and during the whole of the time the multitude was very orderly.He expressed the pleasure it gave him to be present on such an occasion and to meet the electors of Quebec.\u2018lis attention was devoted exclusively to provincial affairs, having enjoyed the confidence of the people of Ontario for a great number of years.During that period he had the satisfaction of knowing that he had had the conf§- dence of every section of the population of the electors, of every race and every creed.Heo was very sorry he was unable to address them in the language with which they were most familiar.If he had been a follower of Mr.Laurier for a longer time he would in all probability have become acquainted with the French language, but unfortunately he was not.At the same time he sincerely hoped to hecome a colleague of Mr.Laurier in a very short time.(Loud cheers.) Sir Oliver expressed his pride in being a follower of so great a man as Mr.Laurier, as he was gratified to know that his fel- low-citizens of Ontario had manifested the same feeling.He spoke of the way in which Mr.Laurier had been received in western Ontario, and pointed out that the the manifestations of favor which bad been evoked exceeded those ever extended to any other political leader, either Liberal or Conservative.He (Sir Oliver) was very glad to know that this enthusiasm had been manifested in the Province of Ontario for a gentleman of Quebec, and it was pleasing \u2018to know that a French-Canadian baa been received with such feelings of cordiality in other provinces as leader of the great Liberal party.(Loud cheers.) He rejoiced that the enthusiasm had been manitested both in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec (Hear, hear) not only by Roman Catholics, but by Protestants also.(Cheers.) He felt great interest in whatever might tend to unite the two provinces together and he ventured to think that what has taken place would bind them more closely than they had ever been bound before.(Ap- blause.) There was nothing which united people more closely than common sympathy, common esteem and common affection.These sentiments the two provinces now entertained, for they both claimed Mr.Laurier as their leader (cheers) and he woula be the first French-Canadian Premier that the people had had since the Federation.(Loud cheers.) They preferred him to any other leader for he was an honest snd straightforward man.Although he (Sir Oliver) was a Protestant he emphatically pointed out that notwithstanding Mr.Laurler was a Roman Catholic he was a far better leader than any Protestant they had had during that period.He next remarked that Mr.Laurier was a Canadian and took very great interest in everything connected with provincial affairs.He loved Canada, and he rejoiced in its greatnoss, its capabilities and in its future prçrmpects.We had an enormous country, which required careful and economical and honust government, and therefore the people should be careful how they handled it, during the next five years.They had an area of nearly four millions of square miles, an area of territory about as large as the United States, capable of being occupied by sixty-five millions of people, about as large as Europe {t- self.Their soil and climate were adapted to sustain a great population, and such being its character, they had a great responsibility resting upon them.(Hear, hear.) In order to bind the yeo- ple together, and make Canada a ccun- try which should last for generations, they had a great work to accomplish.They had to see that care was taken in placing men to take charge of the government who would do their duty in the positions they occupied in the best possible manner, so that the country would be well governed and proper attention paid to the administration of the public funds and all matters relating to the affairs of the country.He further urged that the people must see that the country had good laws and good government.Why were people so interested in the elections ?Because things were so bad at the present time.(Right, right.) We had bad laws (A voice: \u2018Give them it that way.), a bad government (Right, right), a wasteful government and a corrupt government.(Hear, hear and cheers.) It was the duty of the people to effect a change, and to place in power a man of such ability, such honesty of purpose and such stability of character as Mr.Laurier.(Cheers.) festation of good feeling extended to Mr.Laurier at that meeting constituted a tribute to his solid worth; so also it indicated that the time was coming when things would be greatly improved through his instrumentality.In polnt- ing out how bad the laws were and to show how little the present government and its supporters were entitled to the confidence of the people, it was cnly necessary to refer to the Franchise act, that infamous act which had cost 1he country over half a million dollars.It was a vast waste for it might have been saved and the people would have been better off without the Franchise act.The great objection to it was not merely that it Involved an enormous expenditure, but it placed the whole franchise to a large exient.in the hands of the government.It was only a specimen of numberiess laws that were open to a similar attack.Such laws ought not to be on the statute book, and they would be removed if that change was made which was desired at the present election.Those composing the government were the servants of the people, but the members of the present government bad acted in such a way that if they had been officers in a municipality in Ontario, they would have been dismissed long ago.They were, however, going to be dismissed now.(Applause.) They had been there tdo long.The number of manufacturers who were now supporting Mr.Laurier was increasing every day.They knew what was good for them just as well as the Conservatives did, and they found many Conservatives in their ranks favoring the Liberal policy.After referring to the revenue tariff he passed on to the Manitoba school question, saying that a conciliatory policy was far preferable to one of coercion, and in conclusion remarked that it was impossible to discuss such questions to such a large audience as that before him.Mr.Evanturel, Mr.Stephens, M.P.P., Ald.Penny, Mr.James McShane, Mr.Desmarais, Mr.Robert Mackay and Dr.Guerin, M.P.P., each delivered an eloquent address upholding the Liberal policy and urging the electors to send their man, to the head of the poll.The Hon.Wiltrid Laurier closed the meeting by again expressing his pleasure at receiving such a reception and with three cheers for the Queen, Mr.Laurier and Sir\u2019 Oliver Mowat the meeting terminated at eleven o'clock.THE OVERFLOW MEETINGS.Owing to the vast crowd impromptu meetings were got up outside almost before the proceedings inside had com- The mani- menced.Three meetings were held and much enthusiasm was manifest.The principal one of the three meetings was presided over by Mr.James Cochrane, while the others had no formal chairmen, but there was always a speaker ready to succeed.Amongst those who spoke, sometimes at more than one of the meetings, were Ald.Pre- fontaine, Ald.Penny, Ald.Dupré, Geo.W.Stephens, jr., J.P.B.Casgraln, the Hon.James McShane, Dr.Guerin, M.P.P.W.A.Weir, O.Desmarais, J.A.C.Ma- dore, T.Descarries, Victor Dubreuil, P.Duchesne, Raoul Dandurand, Wilfrid La- rose, James Cochrane, Robert Mackay, Carroll Ryan, Wilfrid Mercier, Dr.Maillet and many others.As Mr.Laurier and Sir Oliver Mowat entered their carriage a mighty cheer rent the air and after they had gone speaking outside continued for some time.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE CANADIAN WATCHCASE CO.Letters patent have been issued incorporating the Canadian Watchcase Company, with a capital stock of ten thouand dollars.\u2014\u2014______ A DISSENTIENT SCHOOL TO BE ABOLISHED.The Superintendent of Public Instruction gives notice in the Quebec \u2018Official Gazette\u2019 that the dissentient school trustees of the municipality of the Township of Compton baving been a year without schools he will recommend that the corporation of trustees of said dls- sentient schools be declared dissolved.ADVERTISEMENTS.Concerning Mens Comfort.The warm weather is sure to come, and to be comfortable, proper underwear is necessary, We have a line of Natural Wool Underwear, light and comfortable, Ourprice 1s $2.00 per suit; they are worth more, Also a line of Natural Bal- em suit, that is a bargain.JOHN AITKEN & CO, 1757 Notre Dame st.Would be rather heavy for sum- ff} mer wear.\u201cWe are selling an AMERICAN TAN CALF SHOE with the New Toe, Light, Stylish, Comfortable and Cool, made from specially selected leather which wears like iron.We would like you to try a pair.83, worth $4.SHORT, THE SHOEIST, 124 St.Lawrence St.Cor.Lzganchetiere, ~ ets POSTERS Printed at the ¢ Witness\u201d Printing House, \u2014 ADVERTISEMENTS.A Perfectly Uniform Color!

Mr, Laurier\u2019s policy of conciliation will bring about tnat best of all settlements, the settlement of the question by Manitoba itself ; both the minority and majority of Manitoba will be better satisfied and better served by a settlement between themselves, and they will have learned to give and take, and be all the Detter brothers as a result of a mutual agreement.tlle \u20ac Alderman Sadler has been -hosen by a good majority to represent St.Antoine Ward in the Council.He is an able, energetic, successful businezs man, who is capable of doing good service.He has shown a good deal of public spirit fn connection with such projects as the exhibition, afd will be confidently looked to by the people of St.Antoine division to work hard for good government ani to do his best to safeguard the inter2sts of the city against the rails of the clique.The remnant of a term for.encugh for him to show whether hc is the man for the place or not.\u2014__æ The Laurier-Mowat demonstration last night was immense in every respect.There were great crowds of pecple who had to be addressed from several platforms at the same time, after the fashion of the Hyde Park meetings in London.The people were enthusiastic in their manifestation of esteem for both the Liberal lerders, and there was an extraordi- political demonstrations are at all sigrificant Mr.Laurier will receive a big, if not full, delegation from Montreal.Sir Oliver Mowat seems to be thcroughly convinced that Mr.Laurier will be returned to power by the elections a week from to-day, and Mi.Laurier is also confident.Certainly all the indications point to that conclusion.Mr.Laurier had only to warn his supporters against over- ccnfidence.\u2018However confident, they should work as strenuously as if the balances wavered until after election day.-\u2014\u2014\u2014 A CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT.Almost every general election in the Mother Country brings about a change of government.The people who have for centuries been trained to extreme vigilance in regard to civil and religious liberty, who are extremely jealous and critical as to the legislative and administrative powers with which they entrust parliaments, parties and governments, who are ex- cedingly watchful and on their guard in defence of the independence of parliament, and of representative and re- spcnsible government, have learned from experience that it is unsafe to trust any government or party with an extended lease of power.Liberal ble to bring on changes more rapidly than the country likes, and when too rary absence of dissent.If great | long in power become indifferent to reform, and inclined to regard what they have done as all that is necessary.Conservative governments when entrusted with too large a ma- Jority are lable to be jingoish and when they haye too long a lease of power become a rich breeding- ground for the rank and noxious weeds of selfish class interests.Those who have watched the courses of the successive Gladstone and Salisbury governments will easily remember evidences of these tendencies of the parties.At the present time, for instance, the reactionary character of the domastic legislation proposed by the Salisbury Government, especially in regard to education, is in a large measure owing simply to the extremely large majority the Tories have in the present parliament.Not only is the legislation proposed extremely reactionary, but provisions in the bill make it practically impossible to amend the act unless the initial movement is made in the House of Lords, where it is improbable any such could ever be Successfully made owing to the overwhelming TFory and ecclesiastizal eie- ments of the upper chamber.Already the English electors are becoming dissatisfled with the administration, and by-elections are all going against the government, Liberals being elected in every constituency which is opened.This is indeed the gencral rule in Great Britain.In Canada by-elections are apt to favor the government ; in Great Britain they are generally against the government.In Canada they are ruled by selflsh interests, which, taking a county at a time, a Bovernment can 8orerally appeal to successfully.In Britain they are governed by public spirit, which naturally sees the faults of the existing state of things.Some weeks ago Sir William Har- court, the leader of the Liberal party in the House of Commons, remarked in the course of a Speech that he was too old and experienced a politician to be greatly elated when the country returned a big majority of Liberals, or greatly depressed when it returned a big majority of Conservatives, because big majorities indicated à short'lease of power rather thana long one.And it is proving so.The | Salisbury Government, encouraged by its immense majority, goes in for most reactionary legislation, and the watchful, vigilant electors show that they are displeased and dissatisfied by defeating the government candidates.In Canada governments entrusted with too large a majority or with pcwer too long often become arrogant and corrupt; they become quarrelsome among themselves; they become careless and extravagant, and even fraudulent.They regard office as their right, and look upon the peo- plc as their servants rather than their masters.To keep in power they bribe the people with public works, and enact gerrymander acts and franchise acts which cheat their opponents ; they combine with contractors to rob the treasury and divide tho spoils ; they bribe manufacturers with protective duties to subscribe elcction funds ;.they bargain with ecclesiastics, promising legislation in exchange for the religious intimidation of a province of voters.There is nothing they are ashamed to do ; there is nothing they will stick at in order to retain office.They become dependent upon office.Canadians have at last become sick of this sort of government.They have become convinced by experience of the need there is for changing their government if they would have a tolerable one.Everything indicates that \u201cthere has been a sweeping change of public opinion, and that a corresponding change in government will resuit.A great majority of the.pecple will welcome the change.For a time, anyway, the new broom will sweep clean, and the Augean stables at Ottawa will be cleansed.Should the fiscal policy of the Liberal government after a fair trial be found wanting it will be within the power of the electors to reverse their verdict.We do not apprehend any such failure.Canada needs to strike the shackles from her commerce and industries.Restriction of trade must prove injurious to a country; for a new country to lose her population as Canada has been doing is a.vital drain upon her prosperity.But even should the people become dissatisfied with a tariff for revenue they will have opportunities to restore a protectionist government, with this advantage, that the restored government will be somewhat cleansed and frced from corruption by a period in Opposition.What Canadians should learn from their countrymen in Great Britain to do is to strike down government after government so long as governments are corrupt ; if they do this, governments will soon become pure.Governments should be the servants of the people ; when they seek to become the masters of ihe pecple strike them down.SUPPORTS A LIBERAL.AN OLD ROMAN CATHOLIC MISSIONARY ON THE POLITICAL ISSUE.The \u2018Patrie\u2019 publishes a letter addressed to Mr.Fortin, Liberal candidate in Laval, by the Rev.Abbé F.X.L.Vezina, a former ' missionary in the United States, now resid- | ing in the parish of St.Francois de Sales, County of Laval.After congratulating Mr.Fortin on having been chosen candidate for the Liberal party, the rev.abbé adds: \u2018The attitude which you have taken on the Manitoba schools question, to vote, if elected, for any law.from whatever source it may come, that will restore to our Manitoba brethren the rights that have been taken from them, shows that you are a devoted son of the Church, a good Catholic.Besides, our good Canadians in the country know that one may be a Liberal in politics without for all that being a traltor to his religion and his na- tiopality.A child of the people, it was through your energy and your intelligence, allow me to tell you, that you attained the high position which you now hold in society.Your honor.your Integrity, your legal knowledge, all of which I have known for a long time, and your firm and determined wish, if elected.to work especially for our beautiful county, and for the general good of the country, recommend you to the choice of all our good citizens in the county.Wishing you success.I have the honor to be your devoted friend.\u2019 _\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A GRAND DEMONSTRATION AT LACHINE.A grand Liberal demonstration will be held at Lachine on Saturday evening when the Hon.Wifrid Laurier.Sir Oliver Mowat.the Hon.A.Boyer and other prominent speakers will be present.The committee will have a large tent erected near the convent.Seats will be provided for ladies.The Grand Trunk will run a special train, leaving Bonaventure at 7.15 for the whart station.It is expected this will be the largest demonstration of the kind ever held in Jacques Cartier County.A procession will form at Harvey's Hall at eight o'clock to meet Mr.Laurier.Sir Oliver Mowat and other speakers and march to the large tent, where the proceedings will be held.22e THE MACKAY INSTITUTE.- The Mackay Institute for the Deaf and Dumb closed its summer session to-day, and will not reopen wntil Sept.9.Various repairs and improvements will be made in the building in the interval.\u2014\u2014_\u2014 CAMPAIGN LITERATURE.\u2018Witness\u2019 subscribers who can secure campaign literature that has been franked through the mail with the wrapper in which it was received will oblige by sending it ro the managing editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019 seems WEST END METHODIST S.S.PICNIC.On Saturday last the annual picnic of the West End Methodist Sunday school was held on the grounds of Mr.Willlain Graham, Lavigne, Que.A large number ef scholars,teachers, parents and friends availed themselves of the dpportunity of a day's outing on tho banks of the Ottawa.The day was beautiful; the groands splendidly situated on the bay of the Lake of Two Mountains, and Mr.Graham did every thing ossible to make his guests happy.After inner, the time was spent in racing, games and boating.The young men of Mr.Knight's bible class and Mr.Clyma\u2019s bible class were the committee appointed to carry out the programme, and everything was arranged to the satisfaction of all.At the Sunday school session yesterday afternodn, Mr.Graham was accorded a vots of thanks for his kindness in providing the grove, apd for his untiring efforts to make the picnic what it was, the most enjoyable picnic in the history of the school.re THE MOUNT ST.LOUIS CADETS.The Mount St.Louis Cadets on Saturday afternoon marched to the Mayor's residence on Sherbrooke strest, and drew up in a long line in front of it.The intention was to show the pleasure they felt at the kindly words uttered by the Mayor whon they were fortunate enough a few days ago to carry off the Duke of Connaught\u2019's flag.Hig Wership invited the visitors into his houre and onte more complimented them upon their success.It was a matter for congratulation that the cadets had attained such a degree of efficiency.As descendants of a race of such men as DeSalaberry,they were a credit to their country, and if they were cver called upon to draw thelr swords in the defence of their country, and he hoped they never would, the training which they were naw receiving wauld be of lasting benefit to them.His Worship also spe- clally complimented Captain Pelletier on the high state of efficiency of the cadets under his commend.fee THE SAILORS\u2019 INSTITUTE.There was a large attendance at the weakly tea and \u2018temperance meeting at the Satl- ors\u2019 Institute on Saturday night.Mr.G.Ormon was the lecturer.His address was pointed, powerful and practical, and was listened to with intense interest by the sailors.As a result, many were influenced to sign the total abstinence pledge.Quite 2 number of those progsent expressed the opinion that they had never listened to a more convincing temperance speaker than Mr.Ormon.> STREET CAR AND BEER CART.Yesterday2 a heavily laden beer dray was proceeding along St.James street, sand when at the crossing at Place d\u2019Armes hill one of the horses slipped on the newly watered asphalt paving, and fell close be- \u2018side the strect railway track, along which a car from the opposite direction was rapidly approaching.The car struck the shoulder of the horse which was partly on the track cutting the animal severely and throwing it to the side where it lay bleeding.The iron wicker work railing on the side of the car was in part demolished, the car was more or less injured, and the ocoupants not a little shaken up.The horse will probably have to be Kflled, TWO CONVENTIONS, THE CANADIAN ORDER OF FORESTERS AND THE DENTAL TRADE ASSOCIATION.\u2014\u2014 Montreal with its unrivalled situation and historic memorials, is deemed by many of the large public bodies in the United States and Canada, to be the ideal place for the summer convention, which is two-thirds pleasure and one- third business.The tendency to make Montreal headquarters for this spccial purpose has grown in recent years, until it has become the recognized rule that the city of the Royal Mount shall be the Mecca of the great organizations which take an outing once a year.There are at present two important bodies in town.The first is the Canadian Order of Foresters, who meet in the Windsor Hotel in annual session.This body, strong and stable, and increasing every year, is regarded with much interest, and to-night the Mayor will welcome it to the city.Several of the delegates to the convention, which lasts three days, arrived last night from all parts of Canada; more reached tho city this morning, and by to-night there will be some three hundred representatives, who will meet to discuss the 1m- portant matters pertaining to the welfare of the Order.Chiof Ranger Matthews arrived last night, as did also Bro.Thomas White, the treasurer, and this morning the rotunda of the Windsor Motel was crowded with delegates wearing the badge of the Order upon their costs.They are a fine body of men, and when all the delegates shall have arrived, they will make a brave show upon the several excursions which the city has promised them.Of course, they are to shoot the Lachine Rapids, and see the turn-out of the Fire Brigade, and be taken round the mountain.The business meetings will be held in private.The second convention is that of the Dental Trade Association, which represents all these engaged in the sale of dental supplies in the United States and Canada.This body was first confined to the United States, but the Canadian dealers became affiliated, and now there is one society, the members of which, instead of cutting cone another's throats \u2014(tbis is the rather sanguinarÿ phrase of the president, but the president himself is as mild a mannered gentleman as you could meet, and would certainly not tread upon the proverbial worm)\u2014 agree to be bound by the prices arranged by the manufacturers.This introduces a pleasant state of things to all engaged in the business, who before the formation of this body, were accused from time to time of unscrupulously underselling one another.The assoclatoin meets for business and pleasure.The convention will last for three days.They will have closed meetings, at which the matters of trade will be discussed.After this is through, the gentlemen will take their wives and lady friends, who accompany the party to the number of over one hundred, to see the sights and have a pleasant time generally during their stay in the city.The president is Mr.George Fels, Cincinnati; the secretary, Mr.Lee S.Smith, Pittsburg; and the treasurer, Mr.J.E.Robie, Buffalo.len ST.LAMBERT FOR LAURIER, On Saturday night an open air meetin was held in Mr.Geoffrion's interosts in se Lambert.\u2018Che balcony of the central committee room on Victoria avenus was the platform from which the orators spoke to tho free and independent elsctors.Mr.James Wright was the chairman, and in opening the meeting made a short address In which he emphasized the importance of the present political crisis, and the necessity of securing the overthrow of the Tup- per administration.Mr.Parent delivered an eloquent address in French.He ridiculed the ides of the Conservatives posing as the defenders of religion.They were only using this as a cloak to cover thelr misdeeds of public robbery from the coun- ry\u2019s chest.He showed up Mr.Tafllon\u2019s French loan, and his system of taxation.Me predicted a great victory for Mr.Geof- frion pa whe, twenty-third, r.N.W.Trenholme was the next spealk- er, and for half an hour held the attention of the audience, as he gave the TEASONS Why there should be a change in the government.He honored Mr.Laurier, who, he said, was the one man above all others whom the people of Canada to-day had confidence in.Sir Oliver Mowat, who had promised his assistance to Mr.Lauri ostablish an honest and economic adminis tration in place of the present corrupt regime, was a man who had the confidence of the intelligent Province of Ontario to a marvellous degree.Mr.Taillon had referred to his action in giving up the Premiership of Quebec to enter the Tupper Government, while Sir Oliver Mowat would not give up his position until he was certain Mr.Laurier would be returned.There is a great difference between these two men, said Mr.Trenholme.This province has lots of men out of which she can make premiers of the stamp of Taillon, We can pick them up ata every street corner, but there are few men like Mowat.Ontario is duly willing to give him up when it 18 in the interests of the Dominion she should do so.The Conservatives claimed tho country was booming.It was the kind of a boom a man had when after placing a mortgage on his property he boasted of having a deposit to his credit in the banks which was the proceeds of the mort- gago.If thero had been a boom, there was also the heavy mortgage, and our country was being crushed under the flnan- cial burdens which the present government had by its reckless mismanagement and corrupt administration piled up.The meeting closed with hearty cheers for the Queen, Laurier and Geoffrion.The indications are that the majority promised by the Conservative leader of St.Lambert for Mr.Taillon will not be forthcoming.but in place of which St.Lambert will da herself the honor of giving a good large majority for Laurier.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE SALVATION ARMY CASH.This afternoon the Salvation Army appeal case came before Judge Wurtele, and it was decided to postrone the hearing of the case until the September term.Mr.H.C.st.Pierre, counsel for the defendants said that the ccunsel for Crown, and the Chief of Folice had visited his office, stating that they were in favor of the case being abandoned until the September term.During that time the Salvation Army would have the privileges as heretofore.They would be allowed to march the streets and hold open air meetings without being molested Judge Wurtele said he was In favor of the adjournment.and unless it was proved that the Salvation Army had deliberately insulted anyone they had a right to march the streets and hold their meetings, ROSLYN COLLEGE.THE ANNUAL CLOSING AND DISTRILUT = «.The annual closing of this sob place last Friday afternoon.on whi! sion the Rev.Canon Ellegood.M 4 tor cf the Church of St James 1 Thereafter the pr amount of work cone hy 1 tha year, he explaiped the curr, and sated that sir.Ing of the school each year nection with the priz>< gives 3 Donald A.Smith, GC.M.G_ ai: - Morrice, the principal remarked » Prizes, as well as tle others, !

Assembly, while, in com- with former assemblies, attaching importance to the religious char- - of public education, is strongly cp- tp the restoration of separate 5013 in Manitoba as involving the ap- ation of public funds to sectarian purses, à thing deemed both inexpedi- .: and wrong in principle.The Assembly expresses disapproval Ji any legislation or governmental action in the matter of education which is intended to confer privileges upon one sec- sn of the community that are not ac- \u2018ded to all.In particular the Assem- disapproves of any attempt to re- > alleged grievances

and to increase thelr efficiency in its work.The Assembly would be gratified to learn of the formation of such Preshyterial organiza- ticns wherever these may be considered practicable.4.That the recommendations of the General Assemblies of 1890 and 1834 be re-alfirm- ed in substance as follows: \u2018That, as a means of developing the gifts and graces of the young people.a Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor, or similar association, be organized in congregations and mission stations where such do not now exist, the constitution in each case to be approved by the Session, the \u2018Active\u2019 Meimn- bership to be composed of those in full communion with our own or some other Evengelical Church, and the minister or missionary to be counted ex-officio an \u2018Active\u2019

more of the yourg men into the membership of the so- ciet'es, and an artive interest in the Chureh.\u20ac.That the Assembly approve of an: re- iterate the committee's recommendations to societies in regard to moneys, viz., (a) To i adept scipe systematic and voluntary method of raising funds.(b) To give the foremost plece to the support of work counent- ed with their own congregation, and to the great missionary, educational and benevolent schemes of the Church.7.That the committee do hereby be instructed to consider how the doctrine.polity, histery and work of the Church may be brought more adequately before the young pecple through their societies, and to propose to the societies such means to this end as the committee may find feasible.8.That in view of the large number and considerable membership and giving of the Young People's Societies, it be an instruction to the committee on statistics to provide space, if possible, for the main facts conrerning these in the statistical and financial tables.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 SHIPPING DISASTERS.Halifax, N.S., June 14.\u2014John Ryder, with a thirteen-year-old son and a young man named Joshua Tremblet, put out in a punt from Lance Cove, Nfld., to haul a herring net moored two hundred yards from the shore.The punt was capsized and all three drowned.Advices from St.John's, Nfld., state that the steamer \u2018Assyrian\u2019 while entering that port from Philadelphia collided with the steamer \u2018Louisburg.\u2019 She struck the latter on the starboard quarter, the anchor stock lifting her rail and stripping everything on the poop deck.Thirty feet of the wo rail with inch iron stanchions was Appped off, and other damage caused.The \u2018Assyrian\u2019 bent a couple of her bow plates, but did not receive any injuries.St.John's, Nfld., June 15\u2014The schooner \u2018Mermaid,\u2019 forty-five tons, Capt.Whalen, was run down off Torbay by the schooner \u2018Albert,\u2019 from Salvage, which struck her broadside aft the main rigging.The crew of the \u2018Mermaid\u2019 thought she was going down and six of them jumped aboar® the other vessel, leaving Captain Whalen and his son William behind.The \u2018Mermaid\u2019 drifted away and though the \u2018Albert\u2019 made diligent search for her she could not be found.The \u2018Mermaid\u2019 belongs to Collier, C.B.\u2019

June 15\u2014The adjourned inquest into the circumstances surrounding the killing of Thomas Lin- gard was resumed at two o'clock this afternoon, at the residence of D.Charls- worth, on the Rice Lake road.Mr.D.H.Chisholm, who has been retained by the accused, has come into possession of facts which will prove that the story of Albert Rush, who will be the main witness for the defence, is true.It will be remembered that Rush gwore at the inquest that after Prentiss had shot Lin- gard he took the victim\u2019s head upon his knee and the blood ran upon his pants.This was directly contradictory to the story told by Mrs.Lingard, who swore that Prentiss immediately ran away after the shooting and did not go near the old man.The gun was found on Friday by Albert Robinson, in a cedar tree, where he had placed it in his excitement on the day of the killing.He found the gun standing against the fence by the barn, where Prentiss had put it when he went to get the horse.The gun was covered with blood, which would not have been the case had Prentiss ran away.Albert Robinson, Prentiss's employer, is prepared to swear that the gun was unreliable on acount of a defective lock, and would go off when at a cock without the trigger being pulled.The verdict was, \u2018 deceased came to his death by a gunshot wound inflicted by a gun in the hands of Arthur Prentiss.\u2019 -\u2014\u2014\u2014

UNION, THE CLOSING MEETINGS HELD YESTERDAY.AN INTERESTING LEOTURE BY THE REV.E.M HILL.At the afternoon conference of the Congregational Union discussions were held on the subject of the \u2018Welfare of youth, and the needs, position and prospects of the Sunday-school.\u201d A conference was also held on the \u2018Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor,' the Rev.A.F.McGregor, B.A., being the leader.The question of amalgamation was referred to a committee specially appointed to consider this subject.-Some of the members expressed the opinion that everything should give way to further the progress of the work of the Sunday-school and the Christian Endeavor Socleties.Mr.McGregor held that the Christian Endeavor should include within its ranks as many children as grown persons.It should stretch out its arms to receive all comers.Some who were sceptical of the success of the movement seemed to believe that all bright minds and fine intellects were outside the Christian Endeavor circle.But.he believed that they were to be found within it.He referred to the principles of the society as expressed in its printed formula, which he thought all should read and remember.The main object of the society is the bringing of individuals into membership with Christ.But yet the work extends to all subjects and institutions connected with the welfare of mankind.The Rev.Frank S.Fitch, D.D., delivered an instructive address on the subject of the \u2018Child prophet.\u2019 The Church and education were in his mind, he said, inseparably conpected.While thinking hizhly of the work of evangelistic societies he felt that more depended upon the education of the childreñ, who should be brought up in the nurture and admorition of the Lord.As civilization widens and deepens in the centres of population and in the more sparsely inhabited districts, more and more will depend upon education and less upon the work of the evangelist.He had in mind two pictures drawn from the story of the sacred scriptures; \u201cthre dreams of Joseph and the delivery of the message of God to Eli by the lips of the infant Samuel.Young people have a special work to accomplish in the work of Christ.Childten when dedicated to God's service enjoy very clase commun- fon with him.The Elis of the nineteenth century require the help and companionship of the youthful Josephs and Samuels.They need the prasence of these dreamers of dreams to lift them up above the dominion of earthly things, and rouse them to the contemplation of the more excellent matters of spiritual lite.It is more important to be essentially loyal to Christ than to be loyal in a merely technical sense.We should begin with the children at an early age and should never lose our grip upon them until they have attained.to.mature manhood and womanhood.The Sunday- school platform is wide enough to embrace all reputable amusements, but too much should not be made of them.In these days of the exaltation of physical exercises we should remember that bodily exercises profit little.God often chooses boys and girls and sets them apart for the special work of his church.If grown-up people have a riper Christian experience the young bring to the service of God a freshness and activity wanting in the work of persons of mature age, whose attention is more occupied with business and the affairs of the world.\u2019 The Rev.D.S.Hamilton, secretary of the Congregational Union, read his\" report dealing with the statistics of the Church.There are eighty-eight congregations connected with this union.The total church population numbers 25817.The average attendance at services throughout the year ameunted to 16,818.There 1s a decrease of \u2018eighty in the regular church membership.Ten pastors have entered the union during the year, of which four joined from other unions and six are their own :college graduates.There are fifty Sunday- schools, with 581 teachers and over five thousand scholars.There are forty- seven Christian Endeavor societies, with } a total membership, associate and active of 1,769.Thirty-six of the \u2018orty- seven societies show an increase of members.» Short remarks on the report were made by the Rev.W.H.Warriner and the Rev.Dr.Evans.The report was then received and adonted and the conference closed with prayer at 5 p.m.THE EVENING SESSION.The Rev.BE.M.Hill delivered an interesting lecture in Zion Church before the Congregational Unlon last evening.The subject, \u2018 Congregational Shrines, was illustrated by a large number of rare stereopticon views.Mr.Hill prefaced the historical part of his lecture with a brief resume of the position and | claims of Congregationalism to-day.The lecture dealt with the earliest beginnings of the spirit of independence in the dark ages and showed in a graphic way the wonderful progress of the Reformation.Pictures were shown of spots where hundreds of martyrs perished at the stake, of prison cells and dungeons where the life was ground out of men who refused to recant their uttered principles of liberty of conscience.The awtul power which had strivem by every means to stamp out the Reformation though possessed of full sway over the temporal life, had been unable to chain souls that knew freedom.The enthusiasm of the audience was aroused by the more heroic passages such as the utterances of the men who perished in the fires of Smith- field.The illustrations of the travels of the Pilgrims who left bome and country for conscience sake, gdded beauty to the lecture.Fro és of execution and riot the gathering was quickly transported by the dissolving of a view to the most peaceful and beautiful scenes of river and country.In referring to the settling of the Pilgrims ¢nd Puritans in what are -now the New England States, Mr.Hill corrected some erroneous statements made recently from a city platform.It had been stated that the early Congregationalist founders, the Puritans, had persecuted the free church and thrown their influence upon the side of a state control of eu RE Pass Ea \u2018| ehurches.oi ae TA Re Ra Md RT AR Tor Gh RE FAN DAILY WITNESS.In this matter there must be a distinction made between Pilgrims and Puritans.The former had been strongly imbued with Presbyterian principles and were open to the accusation made, while | the latter were not.The session closed with votes of thanks to those who had assisted In the meetings of the Unidn and the entertainment of the delegates.INVITED TO KINGSTON.Kingston, Ont., June 16.\u2014The members

1896.-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 QUEBEC CENTRAL RAILWAY.ANNUAL MBETING OF THE COMPANY IN LONDON.The annual general meeting was held on June 1, at the offices, Great Winchester street, London, Eng., Mr.Edward Dent in the chair.The president, in moving the adoption of the report, stated that the original issue of prior lien bonds was £300,- C00, \"of which, at the date of his last report, there was a balance of £25,000 still in hand.These were sold in January, 1895.During 1895 there had been expended on capital account on the main line $34,716, and upon the Tring and Megantic branch from the conimencement $1,013,991.They had received from the Dominion and local parliaments subsidies on account of this branch amounting to $548,237, and therefore the cost of this 60 miles of railway was reduced to the low average of $7,762 per mile to the company, whereas the cost of construction actually amounted to $16,899.The completion of this branch increased the mileage of the rallway owned by the company to 212% miles, representing the main line, the Chaudiere branch, and Tring and Megantic branch, besides which they had running powers over the Intercolonial Railway from Harlaka Junction to Levis, five miles.The gross earnings figr the year were very satisfactory, amounting to $344,- 764, or an Increase of $48,033 over those of the previous year; while the net earnings, including sundry credits, had been $124,187, or an increase of $18,749.After paying the interest on the prior lien bonds there was a net revenue credit of $76,744, from which they had declared a payment of interest on the income bonds of 1% percent, leaving & bglancs of $35,621, to be added to the reserve contingent fund, which would then amoung to $88,806.At -the end of March Canada was visited by the most serious snôwbtorm which had taken place there within living memory.The snow -melted rapidly under a hot sun in the early days of April, -and was followed by heavy rains, leading to floods; but the effect upon their line was most severely felt by the fact that the freshets which followed carried.away two\u2019 out \u2018of the three most important bridges on the line\u2014one at St.Anselme and one at Sherbrooke.The loss from these disasters, including the loss of traffic, was estimated by Mr.Grundy, the general mahager, at about $81,000 They would, therefore, see the wisdom of keeping a good reserve fund.The Tring and Megan.tic branch was opened on Sept.26 last, but they had not yet received the full benefit, of its construction.The earnings of the branch to the end of the year amounted to $13,038, 'and from Jan.1 to May 7, the trafic amounted to $18,385.Since the opening of\u2018 the line to the date mentioned the earnings had averaged nearly $26 per mile per week, against $45 on the main lige.They had, therefore, a good margin for increase.\u2018The £50,000 of additional prior lien bonds, the creation of which was sanctioned last December, were applied for nearly three times over, and were taken up at 168.Mr.Joseph Price, in seconding the motion, said he thought.they \u2018would all agres that the revenue for the past year had been.very satisfactory.The working expenses had been 67.39 percent of the ross earnings,- and he thought that the &irectors might point with some pride to the fact that that .was the lowest ratio of working expenses of any railway in Canada.| Notwithstanding the loss of traffic through the: floods they showed a gross increase in the first nineteen weeks of this year of no less \u2018than $15,600.The motion was- unanimously adopted.\" \u201d \u2014 __ADVERTISEMENTS.| DISFIGURING ong HUMGURS 6 SH TN Ua SOAP » when all fe NE Else Fad fa NW JU A Fails CUTICURA SOAP purifies and beautifies the skin,

he doesn\u2019t know any better at present.Don\u2019t be afraid, we'll soon teach him to behave himself, and then, we'll make quite a useful boy of him.\u2019 \u201cWell, if ye do that ye'll be a wonder, sir, for he's the woildest little animal as ever I clapped eyes on.And that's big talkin\u2018, for I've seen a many.\u2019 \u2018Where is he now?\u201d \u2018 Asleep.in the room next to mine at the back, sir.If you want to see him you'd best take the key, for I've locked the little varmint in, not knowin\u2019 {what mischief he wouldn't be up to If 1 didn\u2019t.\u2019 I took the key and went round to the room at the back.Arriving there, I stood before the door and listened, but not a sound came from within.I inserted the key, turned the handle and passed inside.Then I called \u2018 Billy,\u2019 but no answer rewarded me.I called again, but still with the same result.Thinking he must either be sleeping very soundly or playing me some trick, I lit a match.The bed stood in a corner, but it was not tenanted, nor could I discover a sign of the urchin.The door, however, had been locked, and there was no window in the room, so bow could he have got out?1 searched about, bmt not being able to discover him, returned at last to the house, resolved to demand an explanation on the morrow.Next morning, as I was crossing the yard, I saw Billy at his breakfast in the kitchen.On observing me he looked up and grinned in such a mirth-compelling fashion, that I forbore from making any inquiries which might result in trouble.That night and the next I went to his room, only to make the same curious discovery as before.On the third morning I was sitting in the veranda, putting a new cracker on my stock-wbip, when the storekeeper, a young Englishman named Brukett, came up to see me.\u201cWell, Brukett.\u2019 I said, looking up at bin, as he ascended the steps, \u2018 what is it?Anything wrong?\u2019 \u2018I eame up to see you about the chestnut night horse, sir,\u201d he answered.\u2018What about him?\u2019 I inquired.\u2018Only that he's no good for anything at all\u2014he\u2019s quite worn out.To look at him you'd imagine he\u2019s been ridden all night, over bad country, at racing pace.He's in a regular lather even now, and it's as much as he can do to walk.I thought it was no use leaving him in the paddock in such a state, so I've had him taken up and put in the stable for you to see.\u2019 \u2018TH come down and look at bim directly I've finished this,\u2019 I said, and he thereupon left me.When I had completed my work I picked up my hat, and whistling to my dogs, set off for the stable.On the way I encountered Billy, who turned and trudged silently along by my side, his hands as usual thrust deep down in his trouser pockets, and his hat tilted over his nose.x Once, as we approached the stables, I thought he looked suspiciously at me\u2014 but as he volunteered no remark, I asked no questions.There could be no doubt that the horse, which every night was kept In the fire paddock near the house, to be ready in case of emergency, was in.a very bad way.AS Brukett had said, he looked as if be had been ridden at a gallop half the night, and was completely worn out.When Billy discovered the object of my visit, he went out into the yard and whistled softly to himself.I gave a few orders and presently joined him.\u2018It's funny about that horse, isn't it, Billy?\u2019 I said, as we went towards the store.Billy agreed that it was certainly peculiar, and capped his assertion with an oath of considerable power; for which I promptly lectured him.\u2018By the way,\u2019 I continued, \u2018 Murtagh (one of the hands) tells me that when he ceme to saddle his horse this morning, he found his stirrup leathers put up to the top- holes.I wonder whose legs are as short as that.It couldn't be Mur- tagh, you know, for his are longer than mine.\u2019 \u2018\u2019E \u2019ave got turble (terrible) long legs, ain't \u2019e?\u2019 said Billy, with the scarce concealed intention of diverting the conversation into another channel.\u2018Billy,, I said sternly, regarding hir again with close attention.He met my eyes without flinching.\u2018Billy,\u201d I remarked once more, \u2018you're hiding something from me.\u2019 This time be looked all round the horizon before \u2018fe brought his eyes up to mine.When they got there, however, they regarded me as before without a flicker of the lids.\u2018Do you know who has been riding that horse?\u2019 I inquired, half expecting a denial.But if Billy were anything else, he was no liar.So he spat on the ground, hoisted his trousers, pulled forward his cabbage-tree, and then said deliberately, and as I thought with a little touch of defiance, \u2018 Of course I knows; why, bless yer, I have!\u2019 \u2018Indeed, and pray why did you do it?\u2018I dunno; I wanted a ride, I serpose.I can't abide that there room at night, it's so stuffy, an\u2019 so I climbed up the chimley and got out and went.\u2019 The upshot of it all was that Billy, from that day forward, was allowed an animal for his own special use, and was invested with the definite rank of horse and cowboy at a microscopical salary.The duties suited him admirably, and to see the urchin mount his steed by sticking his toes into the hollows of the brute\u2019s near fore-leg, and clutching at the mane, was a sight of which I never grew weary.And there could be no doubt about it, the child could ride.He was as much at home upon a horse's back as a bank clerk is upon his high stool, and what was more singular, even the roughest animals quickly became tractable in his hands.Satisfactory, however, as all this was, there can be no blinking the fact that Billy was continually in hot water.The week was but a round of scrapes and peccadillos on his part.cheeky and blasphemous; the wives of the married hands, who were Jealous of him without exception, reported that he fought their youngsters on every possible opportunity, when, to their chagrin, he invariably came off conqueror, and what was worse, that he taught them to smoke, and led them into such continual mischief that they could not be permitted to run at large with him at all.I remonstrated with him, and on two occasions felt compelled to castigate him, but though he promised amendment, it made little or no difference.Then came the arrival of our precious baby, and in the excitement consequent upon that great event, Billy, his sayings and doings, were relegated to a second place.Never shall I forget the day when he first saw the child.The little fellow was lying in his mother\u2019s arms, in the veranda, when Billy made his appearance with a note from the storekeeper.While I was reading it, he was asked if he would care to see the infant.He jerked his chin into the air by way of signifying assent, and accordingly the veil that protected the little face was withdrawn.Billy, with his hands as usual thrust deep into his pockets, looked down upon it, while my wife and I watched him, wondering what he would do or say.He made no remark, however, save to ask if he were to take back an answer to Mr.Brukett, aad on my replying in the negative, crammed his hat further on to his head and went down the steps again whistling softly.But he had not gone very far before he turned, and once more stood before us.Divining his wish, my wife again drew back the curtain that he might see the sleeping infant.He looked steadily at it for nearly a minute, then heaved a heavy sigh, wheeled about, and went slowly away.After that, Billy did not attempt to disguise his admiration; month in month out, he was so continually on the lookout for an opportunity of seeing the baby, that I told my wife Ce my ag A i re IRAs RE hmm wn ewan EY Mrs.Flannigan found him | Tomo a Mh a pooh Svan Be 7 gs ode Gm Bt EH ee ;
