5th, Robt.Smaill, jr., day long in some parts of the building.For this purpose direct the four angles of an oblong or square building to the four cardinal points of the compass.Dampness must be carefully avoided.1st, Jas.Bell, jr, a Séeder (tho gift of This may arise from the ponds and swamps or from too many trees near the schoolhouse.The former must be filled up and the latter removed.But it may be due to an impervious soil which does not absorb sufficiently the water that falls on its surface in the form of rain, &c.In such a case, it is necessary to dig a trench around the building and tile-drain the soil under it.There is nothing more certainly proved in the whole range of hygienic science than the fact that consumption, catarrh, bronchitis, rheumatism, and certain other complaints may be and often are caused by dampness of the soil on which dwellings are built.Most school-houses have a characteristic odor, just as has a prison.This simply implica that its atmosphere and walls and ceilings are charged with emanations from the bodies of the occupants.Much would be gained if this could be removed.It would certainly imply that the air had been rendered much purer.The most important step towards securing this is cleanliness of skins, heads and feet ; clean skins, heads, feet and clothing.This is often hard to attain, but a good example on the part of teachers will do much, and it can be aided by personal visitation and good tact in the throwing out of hints to the parents.A school-house 25 by 32 by 12} feet high, contains 10,000 cubic feet of air.If it contains fifty pupils, and that is under the average of pupils to each class in our Canadian and American schools, each will have 200 cubic feet of air.Under these circumstances, in order to keep it fresh and pure it would be necessary to chan the air 17} times per hour.1f 300 cubic feet to each pupil\u201412 times per hour.These figures will serve to show that it is a difficult problem to ventilate effectually and maintain the necessary temperature without causing drafts.Time will not permit to say much about methods, especially to enter upon the various admirable systems of artificial ventilation and heat-' ling, whereby warm, pure air is pumped into tho room, or in others where foul air a common, popular and pernicious idea This is as pernicious as it is false, because a deformity as club-foot.is not so dangerous, portant point.Don't send the children too early to school the eÿes, especially in children.When reading, writing, drawing, sewing, &c., always take care that fe the room is comfortably cool, and There is nothing cool air being admitted by openings leading to the air.will suggest : (1.) An open pipe-hole in the school-room communicating with a chimney into which no flue enters, or if a flue enter, then a sliding or revolving valve, (2) Open fire-places are most valuable means of ventilation.(3) A piece of board let in when the lower window is raised prevents cool air coming in below.The air is then conducted up between the sashes and directed towards the ceiling, where it mixes with the warm air there and diffuses itself, before it reaches the level of the persons in the room.(4.) In the case of double windows, where both outer and inner sashes are of the slidin attern, raising the lower outer sash and uwering the inner upper one is a capital method.(5.) Lowering the upper sash of single windows and adapting a piece of three-inch board so as to direct the current upwards to ceiling and over to centre of room.All methods of heating by wood or coal must be provided with a vessel for evaporation of water.Otherwise the air of the room has a charred or burnt smell.The danger of contagious diseases in school is, I believe, much underrated in the country.It isa fact well known to physicians that the infectious fevers are often thus spread: To give an illustration, a child gets an attack of scarlet fever so mild that it is difficult to keep it in bed ; perhaps it is kept in bed for a day or two only, it is then allowed to get up, in a week the child is so well that it is sent to school, while it is still capable by its condition of conveying this disease.However mild the case a child is still capable of conveying the disease for 4 to 6 weeks from the outset of its malady.Why ?The skin undergoes a process of peeling which is not complete until nearly the time I have indicated.Every minute particle of skin thus cast off may convey the disease to the healthy.A child in this condition admitted to a large school may indirectly be the cause of more deaths than the most ferocious wild animal.I need not say I am quite sure there are some here who know of families decimated by this disease.Clothing probably often serves as a means of conveyance of scarlet fever.Let me give you an instance: A piece of flannel worn around the neck of a child with scarlet fever, put away carelessly for a whole year, then taken out and worn by another child, has conveyed the disease.Other diseases, which may certainly be communicated in this way, are small-pox, measles, whooping-cough, diphtheria and ring-worm, and other diseases which, when they affect the scalp, are most seriously disfiguring.It is impossible for a teacher to be too careful in admitting children from families where these diseases have existed.It is not only necessary that he or she should Le careful, but she should have the power to refuse admission.Impaired eyesight often seems to result from school-work.This impairment con- gists most commonly in the development of near-sight.This means that the eye has been defective from birth, The possibility of this may not be known to every one here.A certain percentage of all human beings are born with eyes that are not the perfectly adjusted optical instruments such as the most of us possess The percentage of these is largest in studious races.Most children under five or six have normal vision\u2014a few are far-sighted ; still fewer near-sighted.Near sighted parents are apt to beget near-sighted children.Bad light is one of the most fruitful causes, Anything causing congestion of head, bad position of body, heat of room, wet feet, indigestion, The distribution of near-sightedness chiefly in the cultivated classes of society, points its principal cause : straining of the eyes for near objects, eculiarities of food, indifference to venti- ation, disregard of other hygienic regulations, want of exercise out-door, sedentary life.It will thus be clear that near-sight- edness depends largely on the general condition of the individual ;\u2014the nerves weakened and depressed from had general surroundings as well as defective light, bad position of light and too long continued use of the eyes.A near-sighted eye is, therefore, a diseased one.There is that a near-sighted eye is a strong one.it leads to neglect.Short-sight is as much t is asreala deformity as a crooked spine.Why ?Because it debars men from many occu tions in life, and lessens in women that quickness of perception which is their special gift and reliance.A grave responsibility, therefore, rests with school boards and teachers in charge of myopic.children, that they shall use all means in their ower to lessen the operation of the causes, here is less myopia in England and the United States than in Germany, because in the former countries there is less continued application to study at the age when it is most dangerous, 8 to 16.After 16, application of the eyes to near objects i ere there is an

nearly opposite to the middle of the page ; an object that is held slanting is not seen so clearly.(h) The page or object must be not less than 15 inches from the eyes.Inany case when the eyes have a defect, avoid fine needle-work or any fine work for more than half an hour at a time.Don't study or write by candle light before breakfast, Don't read while lying down.If your eyes ache from fire-light, snow or overwork, use neutral tint spectacles, but before doing this, better consult an oculist.Most persons who continue for a long time to wear tinted spectacles, would be better without them.I might, if time permitted, allude to a higher fuction in the carrying out of hygiene than any I havo already spoken of, faculties of our intellectual and moral na- child 1 Chiefly by peculiarities in its disposition and character.There are two or three types.One is an excess of timidity, a retiring disposition, self-depreciation, elasticity of youth absent.Another is self-conceit and self-assertion.Still another, by a bold, defiant spirit, by a cruel disposition, cruelty to men and animals, propensity to lying.These lead later on up to outrageous irregularities of life and conduct.Another, by moroseness, ill-tora- per, with occasional outrageous fits of passion.In all these, intellect is precarious often.Much may be done in cach of these by a teacher who has his profession at heart, but it will require much patience, much command of temper, much knowledge of child-nature, and individual study of the character of each pupil, with a view of understanding and beneficially influencing it.In the majority of cases home is not the best place for the boy or girl who has a strong tendency to become insane.There the necessary restraint and discipline cannot be

sun's rays should have been so long observed without suggesting the means of systematically utilising it for tel hio purposes.Centuries ago, reflected sunbeams would seem indeed to have been utilised in an elementary way by Alexander the Great, whose fleet is said to have besn guided on its homeward journey from India thru the Persian Gulf by means of mirrors; while, in modern times, the Russians during the siege of Sebastopol employed a simple form of sun-signalling.Of recent years, solar telegraphy has developed into an elaborate systein, with the heliograph and a oode of signals for its instruments, the result being that whenever two places can be connected by a ray of light, communication of ideas between the operators at the different ends can take place au freely as if the eonnection had bon by telegraphic wire.The heliograph is simply a mirror\u2014seldom more than ten inches in diameter\u2014so mounted on a stand as to be one involving the exercise of the best movable

dots known as the Morse alphabet, the words of a heliographic message being thus spelt out in the same way as those raph.Messages have thus been flashed ty means of à 5-inch mirror from the Himalayas to a distance of 60 miles in clear weather, while an increase in the diameter of the mirror has enabled the same feat to be accomplished when the air was to a certain extent encumbered with mist.Under the most favorable conditions of sunlight and atmosphere heliographic signals can, it is said, be seen without the aid of a telescope at a distance of 100 miles.More limited inita application than the telegraph, owing to its absolute dependence on sunshine, sun-signalling has an advantage over electric \u201cwiring,\u201d especially as a means of communication during military operations, in the fact that the route does not require to be kept open for it.1t is a line which the enemy cannot cut.It has a further advantage in the necessary apparatus only weighing a few pounds, and in the working of it only requiring the services of a single person, \u201cTwn trained sappers,\u201d says a recent war correspondent, \u201ceach provided to one ining, with igh, and no rising ground intervenes to

part of the impediments battle of Isandiana\u2014a disaster which the use of the heliograph would probably have prevented.They were, however, afterwards used in opening communication with Ekowe, and thus helped to relieve the anxiety felt for the safety of General Pearson and his men.They have also been largely employed thruout the Afghan cam- ign by General Roberts, Stewart, and Sir Samuel Brown, the latter having, it may be remembered, flashed from Ali Masjid the announcement of the capture of that fort to the garrison at Peshawur.Invaluable as it has thus been proved to be in war, the

form, for with Sir John Macdonald's sweeping majority it will be ratified no matter whether its terms are favorable or not.Tue Hon Mr CHAPLEAU has been escorting two delegates sent out from France by the Credit Foncier to sce what the Province of Quebec is like.If they report that it is one of the finest countries in the world for lending out money in, they will be right, but if they also say it is one of the best for the punctual payment of interest and capital, we are afraid the company will, by-and-by, have cause to disbelieve them.It is said Mr Chapleau is to receive &5,000 a-year as President of the Canadian board, which, if true, ought to involve his resignation as a Minister of the Crown.The Credit Foncier are going to apply to the Dominion Parliament for power to extend their operations to the other Provinces.IT looks as if a crisis in Ireland is to be precipitated by the relief of Mr Boycott.That gentleman is an Englishman, who, in an evil hour for himself, bought à farm in the south of Ireland.He rents none of his land, so that the hatred borne to him by the surrounding peasantry does not arise from any dispute with tenants.The pluck shown by him and his wife, who has assisted him in herding and feeding his stock, has excited universal sympathy.It is highly satisfactory to find that the Government has resolved to interfere firmly on his behalf.NEGOTIATIONS with Turkey are still going on, and, according to Mr Gladstone's statements at the Mayor's dinner, with a reasonable assurance of a satisfactory result.He said he expected Dulcigno would be given up to Montenegro to-day.THERE is some talk among the Democrats of contesting Garfield's election on the ground that several States, and more particularly New York, were carried for him by bribery.As there is good reason to believe that the Republicans have a majority in the House of Representatives, it is hardly probable that any attempt of the kind will be made.Strange to say, Hancock had the popular majority, so that had the vote been a direct one he would have been elected.Last week there were agents in Chicago buying wheat for shipment to Russia, an unprecedented proceeding, and sounding something like sending coals to Newcastle.Insects and drouth are reported to have destroyed the crops in Russia, and great destitution prevails in parts that used to export wheat.- THE Hon Mr Masson has at last withdrawn from the Ministry and does so amid general regret, not only because the country loses in him a pure and high-minded servant but on account of the poor exchange it makes in his successor.- Mr Masson is an Ultramontane and intensely sectional in his views, but is sincere and disinterested, which is more than can be said of Mr Mousseau, who steps into his place, and who combines all that is objectionable in Mr Masson with none of his merits.With Mr Langevin of Charlevoix fame on one side of him and Mr Mousseau, the prosecutor of the Okas on the other, ex-Grand Master Bowell must feel more comfortable than ever and the Ontario Orangemen have fresh cause for supporting the groat Conservative party.The two new additions, Caron and Mousseau, have caused a new distribution of offices, Mr Aikins becoming Mivister of Inland Revenue and Sir Alex.Campbell Postmaster.\u201cEAS ON Saturday the Railway Commission held a special session at Ottawa to examine Colonel Smith, of the firm of Smith, Ripley, and Dillon, contractors, of New York.\u201d He testified that his firm had put in a tender for one of the Thunder Bay sections of the Pacific railway and that, in company with James Goodwin and Hugh Ryazi, he had obtained'a contract for one of the British Columbia sections, which they immediately sold, with the consent of the Ottawa Government, to Onderdonk & Co.of faa Franciees for $100,000, which amouat \u2018was divided among the three partuers.He denied that they had paid any Canadian officiel to allow of the transfer.Col.Sanith'e evidence amounts to this : that they obtained a contract on the Pasific railway at such an outrageots _ figure that another American firm was able to give them a bonus of $100,000 for it and yet make money out of the transaction.Why did the Government accept such a tender, and why did it give its consent to its transfer ?Is it to the interest of morality or the welfare of the country, that Government contracts should be made merchandize of by parties who tender without any intention of doing the work but who expect to sell out to others for a profit.Ox the first pago will bo found a paper from the pen of Dr Gardner of Montreal on the hygeine of schools, a matter that is wholly ignored by commissioners and trustees.Youth is the formative period for tho body as well as for the mind, and, in a large percentage of cases, it will be found that the seeds of the chronic ailments that affect so many have been planted during their school days.The great defect in all our schools is the absence of any provision for letting in fresh air, and in these close, fetid rooms, where the children for several hours breathe an atmosphere that has lost the greater part of its life-giving qualities and is laden with many impurities, undoubtedly many a child has acquired a consumptive, dyspeptic, or nervous tendency, which developed in after-life.Many of the old log schoolhouses are quite unfit for their purpose from the lowness of their ceilings and the smallness of their windows, and that they are still in use is owing chiefly to want of consideration\u2014to parents not realizing what great injury is wrought to tho health of their little ones by being confined in them.Whenever a new school is built, the placing of the windows high up and the hanging of both the sashes on pullics ought to be insisted upon, and in old ones at least two upper sashes should be so changed that they can bo let down.Tho common iden that fresh air gives colds and sore throats is one of those popular superstitions that still linger among us.The people most free from bronchial and consumptive complaints are those who live most out of doors, and the great cause of throat and lung ailments is impure and overheated air.Dr Gardner has done the community a service in calling attention to the defective nature of our schoolhouses and it is to be hoped the advice he gives may be acted upon.Mr CHAPLEAU, secretary of the railway department, has placed his resignation in the hands of the Government.He had no other alternative, for his own evidence has established that he abused his position to extort suins from contractors.This was all he could say in defence of a charge that he received 84000 from a contractor on the Pacific road : \u201cWhen I returned from Washington, however, he (Macdonald) told me he would sce that his firm should pay me 84000, which I regarded as an expression of the exuberant feelings of a contractor at having secured a large contract, causing him to profusely scatter promiscs, the probability or possibility of which he had probably never considered at all.Some mouths later, when I received a cheque for 8500 from him, there was no explanation of what it was for.\u201d The simplicity of this is admirable : the asking us to believe that contractors find expression for the exuberance of their feelings in throwing money around.He also made money out of a patent he held for a bogus lock-nut, which was adopted on the Intercolonial, and worse than all, received $30 or 340 a month from a manufacturer of explosives in North Adams, Mass, for early information regarding when contracts for powder or dynamite were to be asked for.It is not so long ago that Mr Chapleau wrote a letter to an Ottawa paper in defence of the N.P,, yet, at that very time, he was in the pay of an American manufacturer to help him to get ahead of Canadian manufacturersin obtaining contracts for blasting material to be used on Canadian publie works ! There should be & more severe penalty than the loss of his situation for such a man.Mr Mackintosh of the Ottawa Citizen, the official organ of the Government, has not made his case appear better either by his testimony in the witness-box.A contractor on the Pacific railway, Mr Whitehead, found himself short of capital to carry on his job efficiently, and asked the Government for an advance of 810,000, giving his plant as security.Mr Mackenzie, who was then in office, refused, but when the present Administration came into power he renewed his application, this time for $80,000.He placed the matter in the bands of Mr Mackintosh, telling him if he succeeded in getting the loan he would share in it.Mr Mackintosh persuaded Bir Charles Tupper to give the contractor $80,000, and of that $12,000 was a percentage for his services.Soon after, Mr Whitehead found himself unable to complete his contract, and the Government assumed it.This is only a specimen of the manner ih which this eminent Con.servati ov ive seems ns to have coined his influ ence with the Government into hard cash \u2014 IN the Gleaner of the 30th September it was stated that, among other business to be brought before the meeting of shareholders of the Grand Trunk, called for the S8th October, was an agreement with the Montreal and Champlain Junction Company.At the meeting held at Durham on the 5th October, Mr Foster assured the ratepayers of the parish of St Malachio d\u2019Ormstown that that \u201cassertion was false, \u201c and was got up by their enemies for a \u201c selfish purpose,\u201d and a good deal more to the same effect.We took no notice of that or any other of the abusive and injurious statements of Mr Foster.If the Grand Trunk can afford to send him up to endeavor to crush out an independent organ of public opinion in the District of Beauharnois, wo felt that we could rely on its past reputation for now nigh a score of years to refute his assertions, without stooping to notice them.The meeting of the English sharcholders of the Grand Trunk has taken place, and (we quote from the official report) the President, Sir H.W.Tyler, who was in the Chair, said : The President\u2014The next is an agree- Junction and the Grand Trunk.This agreement is not ready for us to-day, and, therefore, I am going to ask you to allow we to postpone it till the next half-yearly mecting.It is for a line from a place called Brousseau to a place called St Isidore, and is eleven miles long.It is necessary fur us to make it because our Lachine branch is unconnected with the southern side of the river except by ferry, which is expensive to maintain, and there are continual difficulties about it.We have had to abandon the Lachine wharf once, and we should probably have to do so again, as the canals are cnlarged and more used for carrying traffic.It is always inconvenient at all times of the year to be obliged to got across by that ferry, and therefore we are making this line in order that we may the more cheaply and better get round to that side of the river, and we shall now use our Victoria Bridge in doing so instead of using the ferry.We shall extend that line by degrees to the south-west to accommodate a good district in that direction, and for other purposes.This bears out the statement we made.An agreement was to be submitted, and was not because not quite ready.We ask our readers to particularly note the closing sentence of the President of the Grand Trunk's remarks : \u201cWe shall extend that \u201cline by degrees to the south-west.\u201d What comes now of all the solemn assurances, reiterated timo and again, that the Montreal & Champlain Junction Company is an independent organization and is going to build the projected railway out of their own resources, and that its only connection with the Grand Trunk is an arrangement to permit its trains to run over the Brousseau and St Isidore section ?We have the word not of irresponsible nobodies but of the President of the Grand Trunk himself, that that company «is making\u201d the line from Brousseaus to St Isidore and is to build the extension of it thru this District, if it is ever to be built at all.RosE-BELFORD's CANADIAN MONTHLY.$3 a-year.The November number is very good.The best article is one copied from Fraser's magazine, devoted to Russel of the Scotsman, who, probably, was the best newspaper man the world has yet kuown.ere we to make any objection to the writer\u2019s estimate of his character, it would be that he lays undue stress on his powers of humor and sarcasm.While these shone out in his editorials devoted to the peculiar class of religionists in Scotland whom he abhorred, they were not characteristic of the general run of his articles, which were more noted for strong common-sense and a logic that cut thru sophistries at a single swecp than anything else.His editorials on any subject connected with Political Economy, especially in defence of Free Trade, were unsurpassable for their clearness of reasoning and the interest with which a dry subject was invested.Mr Kutosoff McFee contributes an article entitled \u201cWavesof Legal History,\u201d in which he endeavors to establish the somewhat fanciful theory that advances in legal loro have moved in cycles of 800 years.The apex of the last cycle was reached in the days of Edward I so, he contends, we will bave to wait another century for \u201cthe advent of another Justinian to reduce the formless mass of modern jurisprudence to rimitive simplicity and effectiveness.\u201d e firat instalment of a new novel by Wilkie Collins is given, It is entitled \u201cThe Black Robe,\u201d and promises to be as mysterious and exciting as any romance that bas come from the pen of that extraordinary weaver of startling plots.The only objectionable article in the number is one by Le Sueur, and it is to be hoped it is the lat of its kind that will find place in this otherwise most creditable Canadian magazine.SF On Tuesday evening a meeting, for o and Design in this village, was held in the Academy.Dr Cameron, M.P.P, who is chairman of the local committee, explained very pointedly the object of the school and the conditions upon which pupils would be received.He also dwelt upon the ad- rar which the instruction to be im- would be to machinists, carpenters, and young men generally, The roll was then opened, when 32 of those present put down their names.The Rev Mr Muir reliminary nizing the School of Art ment between the Montreal and Champlain mee to the boys, which were loudly applauded.Mr McGregor, the assistant to the Principal, has classes, and, should a sufficient number of scholars offer, will keep the school open three nights in the week, devoting one of the evenings to beginners.The school opens this cvening for actual work.To young persons of either sex who are au- itious of self-improvement the advantages offered by it are of considerable value and ought not to be let slip by them.&&\" Michael Byrnes was released on Tuesday, having made an arrrangement with his creditors, & The Grand Trunk surveyors moved their camp on

agh, county Limerick, lately took some land from which another man had been dispossessed, and on opening hig door on Saturday morning a coffin, which had been placed against it during the night, fell into his arms.Dublin, November 4.\u2014The Freeman's Journal appeals for contributions to the Parnell detence fund, and heads the list with a subscription of £50.Several fresh outrages are alleged to have been committed by members of the Land League or under its inspiration.The following case is known here to be authentic: Chas.Dudgeon, magistrate of Leiminister, while journeying from Clonard, in Meath county, to Longford, the capital of the county of the same name, about 48 miles from Dublin, was tired at from behind a hedge on the roadside by some unknown person.Mr Dudgeon, who was not hurt, drew his revolver and returned the fire from his carriage, at which the would-be assassin ran and made his escape.Yesterday an armed party attacked the dwelling of a Mr Long, at Cosheen, county Clare, and having wade Mr Long prisoner, took him into his farm-yard, and proceeded to torture him.Among other indignities inflicted they cut oft\u201d his tears, and then left him more dead than alive to find his way into his house, and send for assistance.It is believed the outrage was committed in revenge for Long's act in bidding for a farm from which the former tenant had been evicted.The address to ihe Irish people issued by the Land League praises and justifies its objects and words as reasonable and peaceful and thoroughly loyal, offending in no degree against the natural right and moral obligation of any intelligent human law.It taunts the government for forgetting its professed liberalism, and appeals to Irishmen to raise a national fund to assist those who havo been prosecuted.The land commission continues to receive importantevidence, principally favoring the principle of long leases at fair rents; the tenant's right of sale and the creation of a peasant proprietary.The evidence of several landlords has strengthened the tenant's case very much.Maye, a farmer at Midlon, who was fired at last February, has surrendered his farm to the Land League after nine months\u2019 defiance.the Roman Catholic bishop and clergy of the diocese of Cork, the bishop dwelt upon the necessity of a change in the land system, and urged that efforts to bring about such a change must be guided by reason and good sense.The greatest hindrance to success would be tho commission of crime against person or property.Some murders had been committed which excited the horror of the whole nation.Every good man who heard expressions approving of such crimes shouted at random at public meetings should endeavor to have them ropressed.Ilo encouraged the people to give assistance to the Royal Commission, and looked forward to a future created by sound public opinion as one by which tho spirit of industry would be stimulated thruout the country.Resolutions were passed that the real evils of rack-renting could be remedied by a valuation made by a competent, independent, impartial, and legally-constituted authority that the landlord should be deprived of the power of eviction so-long as the rent thus fixed was paid; that tenants should not be allowed to contract themselves out of such rent ; that government should remove legal obstacles to the sale of land, as contemplated by the Bright clauses, with a view of creating a peasant proprietary.ralee, Nov.5,\u2014OQne hundred men, partly armed, and marching in military order, traversed an estate here last night, forcing the tenants to swear not to pay above a certain amount of rent.London, November 5.\u2014 À demonstration against Parneli took place at Portadown yesterday.Five thousand Orangemen and Conservatives were present.Maxwell Close, Conservative member of Parliament for Armagh county, presided.London, Nov.5.\u2014The talked-of alliance between the English Radicals and the Irish Land League is not likely to take place after all.Joseph Cowen, Professor ley, Mr Bradlaugh, and Henry La- bouchere have declined to make common cause with the Leaguers unless they publicly eschew the policy of murder and violence which the more turbulent spirits have adopted.The recent utterances of also addressed à fow encouraging remarks Parnell and some of his followers will make this a difficult thing for them to do.It is stated that Parnell bas nominated n engaged to conduct the | Healy for the representation of Wexford, left open by the death of Wm.A, Red- | * \u2019 mond.Healy is Mr Parnell's secretary, \u2018and has gained fame by his recent arrest |on the charge of intimidating farmer Manaing.At a Land League meeting in Dublin Parnell said that if detectives dared to visit his country house he would throw them into the river, i At a land meeting at Clare, on Sunday, iattended by 5,000 persons, the chair was taken by the Rev D, O'Brien, and three other Catholic clergymen were present.Mr T.S.Cleary strongly reprobated the pastoral of Archbishop M\u2019Cabe, telling the people they might take their theology from him but were not bound to listen to his politics.Rev J.McKenna protested against the attack on the archbishop, but the other clergymen said the injudicious and reprehensible language of Dr M\u2019Cabe would be made a handle of to arrest innocent men, The strictures on the archbishop were received with prolonged cheers.Dublin, Nov.6.\u2014The announcement that the channel fleet has been ordered to the Irish coast has caused indescribable excitement here.London, Nov.7.-At à land meeting at Shannagarry, Cork county, to-day, at which Walsh was the chief speaker, the opposition stormed the platform and denounced Parnell as a humbug.At the opening of a meeting of the Land League at Athlone, to-day, the platform fell, and several persons were severely crushed.One of the principal supports of the platform was afterward found to have been sawn thru.A large number of meotings wero held on Sunday thruout the country.Tho largest was at Athlone, where thru an increasing rain fifteen or twenty thousand mon came from Galway, Roscommon, Westmeath and King\u2019s county, to the place of meeting, which is supposed to be in the centre of Ireland.There was tho usual display of green banners, rosettes wore generally worn, and a semi-military band enlivened the proceed- inga with music of a not too loyal nature.As the precession passed the barracks a significant domonstration of hostility to the foreign garrison was indulged in by the crowd.The town wore a gala appearance, flags were frequently displayed, and numerous arches spanned the streets bearing mottoes of welcome to Parnell.Considerable curiosity was felt as to how tho peoplo would bear themselves in the presence of the strong measures adopted by tho Government.But those who hoped that the farmers would be intimidated were disappointed.Mr Parnell made a bitter and violent speech, attacking Mr Forster and the Government.le urged the people to closer and more energetic organization, in order that they might be able to dofy the efforts of the British Government to maintain the landlord.IIo warned them that the struggle to possess the land was only beginning.Tle urged thom to display courage and constancy.Characterizing the Government, he suid that it was hypocritical and cowardly.Mr T.D.Sullivan denounced the prosccutions, and having exhibited to the peoplo the lengthy indictment drawn up by the law officers against tho land league, ho cust it among the crowd, who tore it to pieces amid frantic cheers, The tone of the meeting was defiant, judged by the enthusiastic way in which all the strong speeches wero cheerod by the voices of the crowd, which were frequently suggestive of violence.Roports como from all parts of the country bringing tidings of acts which mark the influence of the Land League.Mr John O'Callaghan, Secretary of the Waterford branch of that organization, wus forcibly reinstated by a bundred armed and masked men on a farm from which ho had been evicted at Nowton on tho proporty of Sir Henry Barrow.Ile was forced to swear on his bended knces that ho would not give up the farm.A great sensation was thereby caused in tho district.A Woodlawn telegram says that a number of armed men wont on Saturday night to Cork, November 5.\u2014At a conference of the house of Mr Allen, a land agent, and tired several shots into the window, nearly succeeding in wounding Allen, who immediately took his departure from the town under goard of the police.Notices wore posted on the gatos warning Allon not to attempt to collect rent on his master's property.A tenant-furmer named Connor, who was evicted two yoars ago from a farm at Bally- duff, near Tralce, was on Wednosday roin- stated by armed men, and threatened with death if he left again.A namber of tenants in the neighborhood of Balla absolutely refuse to pay rent beyond the Government valuation.A Portlaw correspondent tolo gruphs that n number of farm buildings bolonging to Lhe man Corcowan, on the farm from which the tenant was evicted some time back, were maliciously burned on Thursday night.Several farms aro vacant on Lord Doneraile's cstate, county Waterford.The former tonants have given up their holdings, being unablo to pay tho rent.On Wednesday night four armed men visited the tenants of Miss Jones\u2019 property near Mohill, and swore thom not to pay rent above Griffiths valuation.Tho police have been drafted into Westport,to protect process- servers in the neighborhood.\u201d One hundred and fifty policomen are to be sent to Kerry, and forty-five of these wore expected to arrive last night.Dablin, Nov.8.\u2014Tho Land Leaguers de- fenco fund so far appears to bo n failure, only £180 baring been subscribed.Dublin, November 5.\u2014-Tho relief of Bay- cott, who could not gather his crops because no laborers would work for him, attracts attention.At Ulster man has engaged to take a body of laborers to Mayo and gather the harvest, provided the Sxpenses are paid.The Daily Express started a subscription, which is now several thousand dollars more than enough.The expedition will be fully armed and prepared for any emergency, even to fighting.f the © counsel peace, a collision may be prevented ; but if the League do not interfere the temper of the people in the West will be tested.Baycott went to Ballinrose on Wednesday, accompanied by four police.The mob was so great and violent that a regiment had to called out to protect him.The incident may prove tho fore-runner of actual opposition on the part of the landlords\u2019 interest.Thore is intense excitement thruout Ire- land over the report that 5,000 armeq Or.angomen bave started for Mayo to colleot Mr Boyoott's rents and gather his crops, Tbe Government was asked to protect them but Mr Forster, Secretary for Ireland, re\u2019 plied that the Government would protect tho number necessary to do the work and if more went they would be treated ag an illegal assembly, \u201cTroops have left Dublin for Ballingrobe, near Mr Boycott\u2019 propert where the cavalry and infantry have already arrived.Tha peasantry are arming, ang bloodshed is foared.' Dublin, Nov.8.\u2014The Boycott relief expedition has beon suspended for a fow days the railway company declining to supply a special train unless thoy were protected foaring that the train would Le wrecked, The Government is willing to escort 20 only, Dublin, Nov, 9.\u2014The situation of Mr Boyeott (1.Ballinrobe farmer, who is not able to gather the cro .of his large and highly cultivated farm on account n having Leen deserted by all his work people thru the orders or influence of the Land League, continues to attract public attention.The Government hag at last decided to send four squadrons of the 19th Hussars to his relief, with a detachment of the Army service corps, This force, which Las left Dublin for Loughres Musk House, Mr Boycotts residence, is abundantly supplied with provisions, and is accompanied by seve, ral ambulance waggons for an emergency, Reinforcements from the Curragh camp have also been ordered to leave for the same place.Mr Boycott's position ig serious and peculiar.Bis farm and person only remain intact by the protection of à guard of constabulary.No farm servant or laborer dares to engego in his service for fear of the tenantry of the surounding neighborhooëd.His wealth is invested in the farm which he has labored for several years toimprove until it has become one of tho best and most productive in the country, Personally Lo has never given the tenautry of his vicinity any good cause to dislike him but has, on the contrary, done what he could to satisfy all reasonable demands of his own wotking people and tricd to live at peace with bis neighborhood, The vicious iufluence of the Land League is seen in this cau from the fact that while pretending to desire among other things a good food crop for the country, it prevents Mr Boycott from gathering big crops which, unless gathered soon, will prove a total logs, | Dublin, Nov.9.\u2014=The excitement over the situation at Ballinrobe is increasing, and the population from all quarters is flowing towards the Boycott farm, Many of them are fully armed and express a determination to fight, The Inspector of Police from Clare.morris District says he bas got over six persons in charge who cannot move, or dare not make à step without police protection.They are landlords or their agents, against whom the populace have made threats, A reign of terror has set in; all semblance of law and order is vanishing.A large portion of the populace from the country side around Ballinrobs have armed themselves and gone out to meet the military, who are momentarily expected from the Curragh, \u201cA collision is almost incvitable, aud it is difficult to see how bloodshed can be avoided.Dublin, Nov.10.\u2014T'he authorities have consented to allow fifty unarmed men from Ulster to go to Lough Mask to cut Mr Boycott\u2019s crops, and will afford them full protection and give them a cavalry escort, The date of their departure is kept secret, London, Nov.9\u2014Tlhe state of affairs in Ircland has at last stirred the Government to definite and aggres- five action, The Channel Squadron ia sailing for Quecoelown and is prepared to land 3,000 men if required.NEWS BY ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.Paris, Nov.3.\u2014The expulsion of the religious com- munitics proceeded to-day in the provinces against the Capuchiog, Dominicans, and others.There were the usual protests and door breakings, At Toulouse the Archbishop was at the establishment of the Fathers of the Sacred Heart, aud protested against their expulsion.During the expulsion of some Sem- inarists at Lyons ycsterday, a disturbance occurred, in which a workmun was fatally \u2018stabbed with a cane- sword.Paris, Nov.5\u2014The expulsion of the Jesuit unrecognized orders continues.In process of executing tha decrees upon the house of a Jesuit order in Paris to-day, the suspension hook and ladder men of the firo department, in connection with the pompiers, broko down the doors and cntered the building ly force.Many peisous crowded in, in evident sympathy with the Jesuits, and obstructed the efficers, and several arrests were made.The refusal of the Tribunal of Justice to declare the Minister of Justice disqualified from presiding at its sittings argues unfavorably fur actions brought by Jesuits before that tribunal for the restoration of their property.The expulsion of oll the unauthorized congregations thruout France will be completed by Saturday.In the exccution of the decrees at Boulogne several English ladies wero arrested for exciting crowds to resistance.Marseilles, November 8.-=The abbey of the Pre- montre Fathers is under sicge.The sub Prefect says the authoritics do not intend to Lreak open the doors, but will continue the sicge & month if necessary.The Fathers declare they have sufficient provisions, and will not yield.At present the military occupy all the roads in the neighborhood, and are trying to maintain a block, and prevent tho Fathers from obtaining supplies or reinforcements from the people, who are mostly in sympathy with them, At Chambery the Trappists of Tamie were dispersed on the 6th instant by a body of ecven brigades of gendarmes and 5 troops of the line.A deepatch from Paris says the Nantes Capuchins bave embarked for Cork, Expelled French monks are flocking to Spain.Nobles are offering them their palaces ; town councils are giving them old convents and vacant buildings.The King has granted them interviows, and the Ministry arc authorizing the Jesuits and other onders to establish themselves in Madrid and all over the kingdom.Cupe Town, October 31.\u2014The mountain stronghold of the Basuto chief Maletsane was stormed by Colonel Clarke, During this operation, 5,000 Basutos attacked the Colonel's detachment holding Chief Lerattodi's village.Before reinforcements arrived, a.small Gody were surrounded and killed.The enemy advanced in great numbers, compelling the Colonel to retreat in an orderly manner and relinquish tho position, The Tembos are now in open rebellion.Reinforcements rro being sent to all important points, The Turks recently arrived at a fine opportunity of revengiog themselves on tho Right Hon Mr W.H.Smith, who paid the Ottoman capital a visit.Ou reaching the Dardanelles in his yacht the Pandors, the Right Honorable gentleman found his way barred.The Turks positively refused admittance, and he had to await a permit from the Porte.When Mr Smith was First Lord of the Admiralty he ordered the British flect to force the Dardanelles, and tho refusal to admit his yacht wns meant as a measure of retribution, Mr Sbields, of Perth, has invented a method of calming storms at sea, which, if it prove to be practicable, will effect a great saving of life and property.His plan is to siok bottles filled with oil, which, being allowed to ascend to the surface, smooths tho waves, thus reducing the proverb to practice.The invention has been experimented with at Peterhead, and

with a recitation, entitled, \u201cThe Balaclava Charge,\u201d which was equally well received.The Grand Chaplain, the Rev C.A.Doudiet, delivered 8 lengthy address, in which he dwelt upon the importance of bearing in mind that the spirit of Roman Catholicism was the same now as in the days of Guy Fawkes or the massacre of the Huguenots on St Bartholomew's Day.He wasa reactionist, for it was his firm conviction that Protestant, and not Papal ascendancy, was invariably most conducive to a country\u2019s welfare.Here the priests had tho best of it, for none but they could sue for tithes.In the pro- osed new platform, one plank must certainly be the disestablishment of the Roman Catholic Church.It was tho Romish influence which had brooded over unhappy Ireland for so many centuries, and hindered her moral and social development, tho repeal, dises- tallishment and the removal of disabilities bad been successively regarded as the infallible cure for all her ille ; and now the latest cure suggested was, \u201cShoot down the landlords\u201d Antipathy to the Saxon race and hatred of the Protestant religion were at the bottom of all the disaffection in Ircland, rather

landed gentry would at once spring up.Instead of sending moncy to buy powder and dynamite, let Canadians send a fleet of ships to convey the people hither, whero all the land they need can be bad

remains of the man Narbonne, said to have been murdered in 1875 by his brother at the instigation of his father and stepmother.The bailiff, accompanied by the young man said to have been the murderer, went back with Dr Christie and others and found the remains, which they brought with them.The doctor's evidence regarding the remains corroborates tlie facts of the murder as confessed previously by the prisoner, the ribs being broken, and shot having been found imbedded in the spine, and the skull showing marks of having been subjected to severe blows.The father, who is somewhere about 80, appeared calm, but the stepmother showed stronger emotion, whilst the prisoner kept his handkerchief over his eyes and groaned heavily, as ifhe fully realized his position.He still asserts that he was urged to do the deed by his father and stepmother, the latter, it seems, being the most urgent.The prisoners will likely be returned to St Scho: tique gaol to wait their trial, and it is generally believed that the evidence * quite sufficient to implicate the whole ree, The landslide which blocked the Thompson River and completely stopped the fow of water for forty-one hours took place about 20

altercation took place, and one of the party was thrown overboard, but after a short swim he was pulled into the boat again.This had the cffect of restoring quiet until the island was reached, when the quarrel was again renewed between Breden and Henry Dereux.Breden left the party and went to the house of Purdy, where ho secured a revolver.He then returned, and after a short scuffle, placed the revolver to Henry Dereux\u2019s breast and fired, the ball taking effect in the left breast, about the region of the heart.Dr Irvine was immediately sent for, and assisted hy Mr 8.Spoor, made an examination of the wound.It was at once seen that little or nothing could be done for the wounded man, who now lies in a very precarious state.He was not expected to survive the day out.A warrant was

also handed over the revolver with which he said he shot Dereux.The Montreal Gazette of Saturday states that the shipment of apples from that port has again been cxtensive during the present week, amounting to 20,233 barrels against 21,520 barrels last week, week in 1879.From the commencement of tho season to date, Montreal has exported to Great Britain 103,625 barrels as compared with the same period last year of 36,773 barrels, being an increase of 68,- 852 barrels, or nearly 300 per cent.exports from New York continue large, 29,882 barrels having been forwarded to Great Britain for week ending Wednesday last, and 2,051 barrels to the Continent.Large quantities also left the same port for Cuta and British West Indies.The shipments on to-morrow\u2019s steamers from New York will again be heavy.The apple harvest in Canada and the United States has proved a marvellously abundant one, exceeding the wildest and most exaggerated calculations made at the beginning of the season, and is by far the most prolific on record.The overproduction has been so immense that thousands of barrels still hang on the boughs in some districts, as growers would not take the trouble to gather them at the low prices ruling.- ENGLISH SPARROWS.\u2014À colony of Eng- ish sparrows have reached St Jerome, P.Q., and have taken.up their residence around tho Convent and house of Curé Labelle.In this spot they appear to take great delight, and the louder ring the church bells, the louder they chatter.Up to the present date the sparrow has not made much inroad thru the country north of the Ottawa Valley.They are not seen to the northward of Buckingham village, Thurso, Lachute, or St Jerome, and it would appear as if the range of Laurentian mountains limited or arrested their migration.I have not met with one individual of this species anywhere beyond St Jerome.altho the villages of Piedmonte, St Sauveur, St Adele and St Agathe all possess as suitable places for their abode as St Jerome.Possibly hawks and shrikes are too numerous for the sparrows\u2019 liking among the Laurentian hills, but however this may Le, their loss is not felt, as the forests are full of our own native birds, which have not only higher musical powers, but likewise much more insectivorous tastes, H.G.VENNOR.J.M.Fair, of Glenburnie, Ont., raised a carrot measuring four feet three inches in length.This

threw the remaining contents directly in his eyes, alinost blinding him.He was at once removed to the hospital.A warrant has been issued for the arrest of the saloon keeper, and he will no doubt receive the punishment which his cowardly act deserves.Toronto, Nov.6.\u2014The negotiations regarding the International Park at Niagara are going on very satisfactorily.The Dominion Commissioners and

Toronto, on Thursday night.When returning to the hotel where she was stopping, she was accosted by a man.Ho.applied a chloroformed handkerchief to her mouth, and dragging her into a vacant lot, robbed her of all her money.She was found a couple of hours afterwards, thuroly drenched with tho rain, and in an unconscious condition.The poor girl was taken to the hospital this afternoon.Since the robbery she has been unconscious except for a few minutes this afternoon, when she told the story.An Old Countryman having been appointed an examiner in the Custom-house at Montreal in place of a deceased Canadian, the French press has been making considerable noise about the appointment.That their complaint is unreasonable is shown by the fact that during the last half of last year the goods imported by French-speaking importers at that port amounted to only $507,978, those imported by mixed firms of English and French- Canadians amounted to $366,028, while English-speaking importers during the same period brought in $23,673,090, or about 964 per cent.of the whole business done at Montreal.The business part of the village of Wat- ford, Ont, was destroyed by fire on Friday.Some

liquid in the casks, the lateness of the hour, and the nervous haste of the shipper to get the goods on board the train, aroused the officer's suspicions, and upon enquiry he beer to W.J.Sugatt, of Charlottetown, PEI.\u201cThat does nut sound like beer,\u201d was his ejaculation, and he then made a closer scrutiny.Beer froths so much that when a barrel is moved there is not the quick bubbling gurgle that a less glutinous liquid makes, He was determined to investigate the casks, and very soon noticed a leak in one.It was but the task of an instant to find out that high- wines was being shipped as beer.It was too late when this discovery was made to do anything more about the matter, but on Monday morning an investigation showed that Messrs John Harvey & Co, doing business in Montreal, had made the shipment.This last formed part of 189 barrels of highwines, 48 per cent above proof, that had been bonded in a warehouse.Whero the highwines came from was soon discovered, as upon the inland revenue officer's opening the bonded warehouse it was found that the seals and locks were intact, but that the highwines had been extracted and the barrels filled up with water by a rubber hose.The parties to the fraud have fled.The high- wines are worth about $2 a gallon, which will bring the total value up to about $6000, and the amount of revenue that should have been paid on the barrels detained would, he thought, amount to about 84000, Large scizures have been made in the city of fraudulent Hennessy brandy, of which it is said none genuine goes out to country parts.It is not stated that the mock brandy is any more injurious to the human system than the real.A startling mail robbery is reported from St Marthe, in the county .of Vau- dreuil, on the road leading to St Clet.The mail courier as usual left St Marthe Post Office last Friday morning, at ten minutes past three o'clock, on his way to Coteau Station.The courier's statement is that after he got some twenty acres out of the village and was on a small bridge at that point, a man, with a masked face, seized the bridle of his horse and demanded possession of the mail.This the youth refused at first, but on the highwayman again demanding it, the frightened courier throw the bag on the ground.Then said the robber :\u2014\u201cGive me your money 1\" The courier pleaded that he had none, but, on the demand being repeated in a still more menacing tone, the courier had to yield possession of his portemonnaie containing $6, which he was carrying for one Brazeau, a baker.The courier hereon jumped down from his mail cart and ran away, the robber, on his side, jumping into the cart and driving onward.The courier at once made his way back to the village, announcing the robbery to his employer, the contractor, Mr Campeau, and to the Post Office.Intelligence of the occurrence soon spread in the vil and local search and enquiry instituted.The mail cart and horse were recovered some two miles beyond the scenn of the robbery.The leather mail bag was there, but cat open.The juside cotton bag, with the letter mail itself, had disappeared.There were in this mail six registered letters for Montreal, containing $183, year or many previous ones ; liners who groce learned that the shipment was 48 casks of ' near the American border, and applied for \u2018an insuranco of $4,600 in the Citinens, | Canada and Dominion Companies.As it: was a busy season his antecedents were not enquired into and the insurance was given on the goods, quantities of which he had purchased from Messrs Mc- Lachlin Bros, dry goods merchants ; Mr Delorme, leather merchant, and Mr Semple, r.The s were sent and all went well until the 3rd of October, when the store at Vicars took fire and was reported totally destroyed, along with the goods contained.An insurance inspector was sent out, and came back to report that matters were very suspicious, and that an investigation should be made prior to the payment of the policy.The company thon placed the matter in the hands of Detective Fahey, who sent one of his men up as à butter merchant to look into the matter.The report brought back was anything but\u2019 complimentary to Byres, and the latter was soon under the watchful eye of Mr Fahey-himself, who found out many tracks all leading to Beekman- town, N.Y, not far from Vicars.It was here learned that Byrnes was a notorious smuggler and had been twice burned out in Beekmantown previous to the firo at Vicars.He also learned that teams had been sent out from Byrnes\u2019 store to the remises of Tom Lavens, a friend of yrnes.With the assistance of Mr Howell and Gen.Moffat, collector, of Patts- burg, Fahey traced the leather goods purchased from Delorme, and the latter identified them as his property.Byrnes was then decoyed to Montreal to get his insurance money, and was at once arrested as already stated.On Sunday the remains of Charles Osborne, a single man about 40 years of age, were found in the Township of Nelson, about one mile from Burlington, Ont.An empty whisky jug was found by his side.He, no doubt, perished from cold while intoxicated.\u2019 A ToUCHING APPEAL\u2014Just as the Recorder\u2019s Cuurt was rising yesterday morning, an old man named Joseph Devaux, apparently about 70 years of age, asked &r D.Montigny to send him to prison for 6 months.The Recorder said he would consider the application, but Devaux asked that he might receive immediate relief, urging that he had formerly been M.de Montigny\u2019s schoolmaster as a reason why his request should not be refused.The Recorder granted the request, and afterwards stated that all the man had said, as to his having held important positions, was true.He had moved in good society, and would still be a useful member of society if kept from the influence of liquor.\u2014 Montreal Herald, 9th inst.Digby County, Nova Scotia, has adopted the Canada Temperance Act by a large majority.A young

the vessel was held.Signals of distress were hung o.at and the greatest alarm prevailed on boar 1.The signal could not be responded to, owever, for some time, as the wind and the waves were too

interrupted my lady, with a sudden change to anger.But after such an interruption I used to notice how her eyes would rest (whenever they could do 80 unobserved, as she thought) on Lilian\u2019s patient face ; and sometimes a great sternness would gather on her brow, and sometimes a yearning pity.It was in the early twilight of an October day that Hugh came at last to bid us good-by.I was sitting alone in the draw- ing-room when he came in (not rapping at the window as he used to do, but ushered formally in), and I met him as frankly and cordially as I had always done, rejoicing that Mr Macan had happened to be with us just then.This would be a sad good-by fur Lilian, and the old lawyer's enial presence would perhaps make it a ittle less so.We stood together for a little time, chair beside the fire, \u2018that I should read this aloud before I obtain the necessary signatures ?' \u2018I really wish it\u2019 she answered, with slow clearness.\u2018They should know exactly what they sign, So the old lawyer n to read his client's will, and we sat listening\u2014Lilian beside her aunt in a shrinking attitude which had never belonged to her before, and Hugh opposite, his eyes upon the as the lawyer read.I only remember in what mute and wondering surprise I sat to hear my lady's will.Could the words be read aright ?Could she, who had always been\u2019so kind and generous to us all, so wondrously kind and generous to her pet, really have willed from her every farthing of the wealth which she had taught her to look upon as already hers ?Tho I suppose I heard the names of the charities to which Lady Carmichael bequeathed her property, my thoughts were wandering far enough away from them, and it was only when Lilian\u2019s name was read at last that I again, by an effort, fixed my attention.If Lady Carmichael\u2019s whole fortune were (as decreed in the beginning of the will) to be divided among certain charities, for what should Lilian\u2019s name be mentioned at all 7 I listened eagerly then, and tho there was very little to hear, this clause surprised me most of all.The property had been thus willed\u2014so the words went, as far as I could under- stand\u2014by the testatrix for conscience\u2019 sake.Her niece Lilian Lee would understand this, and would, no doubt, marry during her aunt's lifetime.But if not, she would find little difficulty in gaining her own livelihood.This was all I could understand of the strange will which Mr Macan read to us, and then placed on the table before Lady Carmichael.She took a pen in her hand, then looked across at Lilian and Hugh Lindsey.His face was very pale and full of anxiety, yet there shone in his eyes a restless brilliance which had chased away the patient hopelessness of but an hour before.\u2018Now, Lindsey, you and Miss Lee are to witness the signature.\u2018You wish me to sign, Lady Carmichael?\u2018Yes ; and you, Lilian.Your signatures will do as well as any others, for you have, neither of you, any interest in the will.Do you, either of you, object to doing this ?The question was sharp and suspicious, and seemed even more addressed to Lilian than to Mr Lindsey.\u2018Object ! oh no; she said, tho I had seen how marvellously the will had astonished her.\u2018You think it right, auntie.You say it is for conscience\u2019 sake, and you know best.I am quite ready tu sign, Mr Macan.And so they wrote their names upon this will, while I mused of the old love story, doubting it entirely now, because surely if it were true, its memory could never have allowed this act.As soon as the will was signed, Mr Ma- talking.He told me that he had not been able to effect an exchange, but had engaged a curate for the charge of Bryn Arddail while he should be away.That was all he said, but I knew that he would not return until Lady Carmichael\u2019s household had left.I spoke very little, because 1 could not speak cheerily ; then I went to tell them he was here.Lady Carmichael and her lawyer were together in the library, she dictating to him while he wrote.He put down his pen and came to meet me with a smile, and so I told my message to him instead of to my lady ; but she answered, testily, from the table where she sat : \u2018Tell Mr Lindsey that I and Mr Macan can left the room with it in his hand, and Lady Carmichael rose at once to follow him.Then, quite suddenly, Hugh stepped before her and entreated her to listen to him for a moment.In a few words, so heart-felt that they sounded almost solemn, he told her of his love for Lilian\u2014a love he never could lose, tho he had tried hard to hide it.He told her that he would never have spoken of it, either to her or to Lilian herself, but for having heard that will which she herself had dictated.\u201cYou speak there of Miss Lee earning her own livelihood, he said, his voice moved and shaken.\u2018Lady Carmichael, let me offer it to her.Give me leave now to offer her the love which I have tried in vain to conquer, but which masters me are particular] engaged just now ; but of this moment in all its strength, and\u2014at 1 course we wish to him good-by, so ask him to stay and dine with us.\u2019 \u2018And if he hesitates,\u2019 put in the old lawyer, \u2018tell him I want his assistance in a legal matter this evening, and that he will particularly oblige me by giving.the time.ou young people can very well amuse each other for the hour that remains before dinner.\u2019 I gave these messages to Mr Lindsey first, then went on to the morning room to find Lilian.She was playing softly to herself when I went in, and tho she turned and smiled at me, she did not cease playing.\u2018Lilian dear,\u2019 I said, taking her wistful face between my hands as I whispered the words, \u2018Mr Lindsey is here, waiting to see you.He is going away for a little time.\u2019 \u2018Going away I she echoed, raising both hands to her head with a gesture of pain that was sad to see.\u2018Going away! Oh yes ; he said before that he was going, I remember.He\u2014he was anxious to go.Vhy Dave you fetched me ?What have says + Only good-by,\u2019 I answered, sorrowfully.\u2018It is that.any of us can say to him now, my darling.\u2019 \u2018Yes, any of us,\u2019 she murmured, rising wearily.\u2018We have all the same to say to him, and he has the same to say to all of us, Come, Stella\u2019 J think it was a great relief to us all when dinner was over that evening, for no one but Mr Macan seemed to have a cheer- fol word to say.Lilian pleaded a headache in excuse for her pale face, but Mr Lindsey made no excuse at all for his, \u2018I want to ask you, Lindsey, said Mr Macan, whea he saw my lady rise, \u2018if you will act is witness for me to-might, with one di Bese young ladies, y Carmi.aol has summoned me here to make her will, and I would rather find the two sig- Ratures among ourselves than among the .Yours and Miss Lilian's will do nicely.Carmichael, if you will allow me, I will bring the will \u2018into the drawing-soom now.We do not wish to slay be, do we, Lindsey 7 Lindsey us at once, and Mr Macs cite in fon: the library sew en \u2018You y , he aoked, turni goatiy to-my lady as dhe mat in her large last\u2014in hope.With just a passing glance at Lilian, my lady asked one simple question : \u2018Lilian, how am I to answer this ¥ Then I slipped away, for I loved them both too well to stay to hear more, for\u2014I felt it would all be happiness.I sat alone in my own quiet room for a long time after that, and when I came down at last, and met Lady Carmichael crossing the hall to the library, I saw that her eyes were wet with tears, \u2018Stella, Stella, whispered Lilian, drawing me again into the lighted drawing- room ; \u2018oh, my dear, kiss me in my great happiness, and tell me you are glad I ut tho she had asked me to say it, she didn\u2019t hear, I'm sure ; for she hid her face u poo my shoulder, sobbing in the intensity of her joy.When we went in to say good-night to my lady, she took Lilian's face between her hands, and looked down into the truthful, happy eyes.\u2018Then you are not fretting for the loss of wealth 7 \u2018Auntie, my pet whispered, softly, \u2018what ¥ have won is so much greater wealth.\u2019 And Mr Macan, from his seat at the writing-table, seemed to answer her in his merry glance.\u2018Guod-night said my lady, with her last kiss.\u2018Don\u2019t take Stella.She can wait with us ; when you are away, we can be sure of her sitting silent.\u2019 So 1 sat by the fire thinking, while Mr n wrote on ; and Lady Carmichael now and then talked to him in a low tone, and now and then wrote a little herself, or read what he had written.\u2018I have finished, he said at last ; and taking a cigar, went out to smoke, Then Lady Carmichael once more took op the folded will, and opened and glanced thru jt.\u2018Did you quite understand this will whea it was read, Stella ?\u2018Quite.\u2018Did Mr Lindsey \u2018Yes, I am sure he did) \u2018And Lilian ?Oh yes\u2019 .\u2018That is right.Now read it thra yourself aloud to me.\u2019 It was not a very easy task, but I managed to get thru it without incurring the ground and his firm lips trembling a little go displeasure of my lady, and the bequests were a little plainer to me now.\u2018You see that none of you are remembered ©\u2019 she said, as I handed the folded paper back to her.\u2018Yes, my lady.\u2018You feel sure that Lilian understood that 7\u2019 \u2018Quite sure.\u2019 \u2018I need not ask you of Hugh Lindsey ; I know he understood.Now you may CHAPTER IV.\u2014THE KEY TO THE WILL.It was Christmas morning, and tho there was no keen bright Christmas frost upon the grass and brown hedge-rows, and tho there was no bright uncertain Christmas sunshine on the restless sea, yet in every village household at Bryn Arddail there gleamed the real brightness of the season.Hearts meeting after long separation, hearts united in warmth and good-will, hearts clinging all the closer which have never been separated or disunited, and solitary hearts learning, at this time above all times, to lean upon Him who is the nearest and dearest Friend of all.What wonder was it that, when Lilian and I carried our Christmas gifts to these little homes upon the cliffs, and heard whoso lessons and whase visits had left this peace and happiness in each, Lilian's face should grow so bright with full content ?For of course Hugh Lindsey had never left Bryn Arddail, after all ; no, tho Mr Macan was so fond of gravely and continually bringing him the name of some imaginary clergyman who was anxious to effect an exchange with him.It was Christmas morning, as I said.and we were together in our pleasant breakfast-room ; not only Lady Carmichael and Lilian and I, but Mr Lindsey, who had been breakfasting with us, and Mr Macan, who had come to spend the Christmas with us, and whose fault it chiefly was that we had so many gifts and tales to linger over.The low windows at which we had loved to sit in the summer-time, were closed fast now, and it was around the blazing Christmas fire that we chatted with light hearts and happy faces.\u201cThis is a curious little present,\u2019 said Hugh, taking a key from the parcel in which he had found it among those addressed to himself.\u2018Is it to allow me access to one of your strong boxes, Mr Ma- can ?\u201cThe box which that opens,\u2019 returned the generous old lawyer, dryly, \u2018will not arrive at the rectory until your marriage day ; so, you see, how needful it will be for me to have timely notice.Lilian, you must expect plenty of presents soon, my dear\u2014not Christmas ones\u2014for I have been obliged at last to tell the world of your engagement.\u2018Why 7 asked Lilian, blushing brightly.\u2018For this reason.A certain friend of yours told ine a few days ago he was tired of waiting for your return, and was coming down here to urge his suit once more in person, and offer you again the love, and the wealth, and the title, and\u2014the organs, which you have never hitherto appreciated.There was only one way by which I could save this unnecessary pain for either you or him, so I told him of your engagement.And having told him, 1 consider I have told the world.Hugh was looking into my darlings face with an eager questioning in bis eyes, and she answered the look.From that moment how could any one of us doubt how wholly and entirely her heart was his ?\u2018I did right, I see,\u2019 remarked Mr Macan, genially ; \u2018I generally do.Lady Carmichael, have you no word of admiration for my wise conduct of affairs 7\u2019 My lady was unfolding then the little gift that Lilian and I had prepared for her with so much love, and when she looked up from it her eyes were wet behind their glasses.\u2018Lilian, she said, after answering her old friend's question only with an absent smile, \u2018my presents to you are very simple ones, as you see; but you understand why, because you remember how my money is devoted in my will\u2019 \u2018We remember, auntie,\u201d Lilian answered, taking into hers one of my dear old lady's trembling hands.\u2018Do you remember, Hugh 7 asked Lady Carmichael, turning rather wistfully to im.\u2018Could I forget that happy night ?said Hugh, most gently.Tho you say you remember,\u2019 she went on, leaning with one hand upon the breakfast table while Lilian held the other, \u2018I want you to hear that will again, Hugh, will you read it to us this time?Mr Ma- can, please to give it to him.Quite steadily and calmly Hugh read thru the will which the lawyer had read to us that night two months before, and which so sternly devoted to other pures the wealth which was to have been Eliane ; and once or twice while he read Lilian herself bent and smiled into my lady's eyes, tho, thru all, I fancied I could read & new momentary disappointment in hers.Perhaps she was dreaming of what Hugh might do with only a little of these riches.\u2018You quite understand it ¥' questioned my lady, holding her hand for the will when Hugh had finished.And wo all answered, without hesitation, that we quite understood.\u2018You bear me no ill-will for this \u2018And Lilian was the first to answer with the warm denial.\u2018Then, said my lady, smiling, just as she used to smile years ago, when we too orphan girls bad learned to love her so dearly, \u2018you will understand the end.\u2019 She had not loosened Lilian\u2019s hand, but crossing the rug, she dropped the folded will into the heart of the blazing Christmas fire, and stood quietly there watching it burn to ashes, \u2018Hugh,\u2019 she said then, still with her eyes upon the fire, \u2018before I knew you, savo as the poorly paid clergyman of this poor parish, saw that you loved m child, and the thought angered me beyond all words.I fancied that I eould stop to this love, and I tried.I told you what other destiny awaited her, and how impossible it would be for her to wed but with rank and wealth, But I saw that my words could only put a stop to your hope and happiness\u2014never to your love.You were true and honorable, and held aloof.Then my punishment came in witnessing Lilian\u2019s quiet pain.I had put an end to her hope and happiness too, but could put no end to her love either.\u2018So dearly I loved her, this unishment grew at last unbearable ; and wondered how I could undo the misery I had wrought, while at the same time I could beyond a doubt prove your love to be\u2014 what I have proved it.I thought of a Pas helped me.\u2018When Lilian was a penniless girl you had the courage to offer her the heart she prized ; and I heard the frank and simple truth from Loth.I was satisfied then that this was a love to last to death, and to be a blessing not only to you both, but to others too.How much more am I satisfied now that I have learned to love you for you own sake as well as for my child's I have not taken all this time to discover what a wise choice she made, Hugh, thol have never told you so before this happy Christmas morning.There, I have tried you both.Lilian darling, sce, there are only ashes left of my old will.That is my Christmas present to you both\u2014to you all indeed, tho you will not understand quite yet.And one of my brightest memories is that the love you bore your old aunt has never failed for this unloving deed, but has been true and kind thru all.Mr Macan has another will of mine which you will some day hear him read; and when that was written, Lilian darling, 1 remembered my own youth, and the one chance of happiness which I\u2014 threw away.\u2019 The faltering voice failed her, and 1 crept to my dear old lady's side, \u2018Auntie,\u2019 cried Lilian, with her gentle, clinging caress, \u2018you have always been so kind to me\u2014to all\u2014so good, so good ! And Hugh raised her hand reverently to his lips.UNITED STATES.Denver, Col., Oct.31.\u2014Denver has been in the hands of the mob for eight bours, and there are now fully 1,500 rioters in the streets The trouble has been growing for days.It was discovered a week ago that there were fully 8,000 illegal names registered in this city, and immediately afterwards the streets were filled with strangers of the worst character.Ever since the publication of the forged Garfield letter violent partisans are striving to make an issue of the Chinese question, and the Democratic press has been filled with articles asserting that as soon as Garfield is elected the State would be flooded with Chinese, and all white labor driven out.On Saturday night the Democrats had a procession, carrying transparencies, with inscriptions and cartoons tending to excite animosity against the Chinese.A considerable portion became intoxicated and remained out all night.This morning they made a raid on the Chinese houses, tearing them down and beating and driving out the Chinese.One was dragged from Sop Lee's place with a rope about his neck.and his skull crushed in with stones and bricks.The police were called out, but were unable to control the mob.The fire department was ordered to throw water on the rioters, but the mob attacked them and badly wounded two firemen.Many Chinamen were fearfully beaten.A Chinaman was dragged and his ears cut off, and otherwise terribly mutilated.He was finally rescued in a dying condition, and placed in a carriage and driven towards the gaol.At Sixteenth-street an unsuccessful effort was made to drag him from the waggon.Several are reported killed, but the condition of the streets is such that it is impossible at this hour to get a definite report.Many colored men were knocked down and beaten.At this hour the rioters are still on the streets in full force.Special police have been sworn in to the number of 300.There is great dread of incendiarism to-night, and the fire department has been called to be ready at the slightest warning.The reports of pistols are heard all over town, and the militia will be called out.Threats have been freely made that the Tribune office would be sacked, but tho the mob has been howling across the street from it no attempt has been made.The citizens, irrespective of party,are intensely indignant, The transparencies carried in the Democratic procession on Saturday night were dovoted altogether to the Chinese, and this, with the constant repetition of the Garfield forgery, are the causes of mob violence, There is a dangerous night ahead.The Chinese population here cannot exceed 150 oll told, and from the beginning of this disgraceful riot not a single incident is reported of any of them having resisted the onslaught.Denver, Nov.1\u2014At 11:30 last night everything was quiet, the mob having dispersed, but à large police force continued patrolling the streets and the militia were ready for action.The report of a China- man having his ears cut off is a mistake.All the saloons are closed.The rioters utted every Chinese house in town.One hinaman was hung over his front door, and several badly beaten and wounded.In nearly every instance the policemen rescued the Chinamen.Four or five rioters were slightly wounded, one seriously.The active response of the citizens to the call of the authorities effectually checked the mob, and by midnight a very perceptible improvement was developed.Ear y this morning a squad of miscreants raised a disturbance near the post-office, but within ten minutes a thousand armed citizens were on the ground and all the rioters were arrested.Several hundred warrants were issued and two or three hundred arrests made.The city is now considered secure.The indignation among all classcs is intense and earnest.New York, Nov.1\u2014The American lan at last, and my old friend, and yours, ¥ the revision of the English version of the New Testament and transmitted the result to England.The British Committee meet this month for final action.It is expected that the revised Uld Testament will be published a couple of years after.The American revisers have been at work eight years.MISCELLANEOUS.The Indian papers report that a man- eating tiger, which had killed fifty persons during the last three years, has been shot at Chakrata.This animal, it seems, had for the last thrco years been the terror of the tract of country known as Jaunsar- Bawar.Indeed, for twenty-five miles be- ond Deoban there is scarcely a village that has not its history of human victims.| On the 13th of September, leaving its usual haunts, the tiger appeared at Deo- | ban and killed two men close to the forest officer's garden, one body only being found.| On the morning of the 15th he killed a bullock a mile and a half from Chakrata | on the Deoban road.The forest officer, Mr A.Simythies, and Colonel Fitz Roy, Fifth Fusiliers, and most of the officers in garrison, then made arrangements to surround the spot where the tiger was last seen.Several soldiers also volunteered.After about two hours\u2019 beating the tiger was \u201cmarked down\u201d under a cliff.Nothing would persuade him to leave his cover, and it was not until a party with five or six guns'advanced to the spot where he was lying that a shot was possible, Mr Smythies drawing the first blood.The tiger then bolted, receiving the fire of several rifles, and was eventually killed on the Jadi road, about four hundred yards from where he was first hit, The Government reward for the tiger was 500 rupees.He was a small but very powerful animal, measuring as he lay seven feet eight inches from his nose to the tip of his tail.In Holland three triplet brothers\u2014a naval employee, a solicitor, and a post- master\u2014have just celebrated their 50th birthday, all being in excellent health.At a great temperance meeting at Manchester, England, the Bishop of the diocese said he saw nothing contrary to sound politics in the governing principles of the United Kingdom Alliance.There was nothing contrary to any sound political maxim in which he and the people of this constitutional country had been educated, in accepting the vote of the majority of the ratepayers\u2014that was, of the solid population\u2014in favor of abating or continuing a nuisance.The public mind of the country, however, required a great deal of education before it could look at this matter from cxactly the same point of view as Sir Wilfrid Lawson or himself.According to an estimate formed by the well-known publican, Mr William Hoyle, this nation during the last fifty years had spent directly upon intoxicating liquors the enormoussum of £4,712,000,000 and to this he added indirect loss sustained by the nation in the maintenance of paupers, criminals, lunatics, police, gaolers, and the like, which brought up the total to £7,068,000,000.This sum, invested at 5 per cent., represented thirteen thousand million pounds, so that the total loss sustained was sufficient to have paid oft the National Debt fifteen times over.When they realised that the people of this country had been spending directly for the last ten years something like £133,000,000 a-year on intoxicating drinks, it would be seen that they needed a good deal of education before two-thirds of a majority of the rate-payers were likely either to abolish or even largely restrict the number of public-houses.\u2014At another temperance meeting, that of the Birmingham Church of England Temperance Society, Sir Richard Temple said that tho intemperance might be on the increase in England, he could assure the meeting it was satisfactorily on the decrcasc abroad.Forty or filty years ago in the East the majority of the European soldiers were addicted to drunkenness.At that time all the ailments and diseases which they suffered were put down to the sun, the climate, and the heat of the tropics.The true cause of all those ailments was intemperance.All this was now changed.Nowhere were Englishmen more temperate than our fel- low-countrymen in the East ; and as to the army we should not know it on account of the change and great improvement in their moral habits.À London live stock journal, speaking of horseshoeing, pertinently remarks : If the farmers or blacksmiths are anxious to do something useful at a small expense, let them publish an illustrated broadside fit for hanging in blacksmith shops, telling smiths and their masters what not to do.\u201cDon\u2019t carve the frog; don't open the heels ; don\u2019t rasp the outside of the hoof ; don\u2019t cut the hoof to fit the shoe, but, after shortening the toe, if needed, fit the shoe to the foot,\u201d and so on, as common sense dictates, A MIRACLE.\u2014Tho steam-engine possesses miraculous properties which its inventor would never have suspected.At least such is the oxperionco of some peopto in India, and if we are to beliove them the locomotive is as effective a romedy as the visions or waters of Knock or Lourdes.According to the Bombay Gazetto a poor villager of Kat- tywar-near which the Bhownagar Gondai Railway now passos\u2014had beon long afflicted with romittent fover.No amount of idol- worship, penance, and vther forms of propitiating the devil availed to arrest the malady.At length a neighbor advised him to np- proach the Bhool\u201d in the shape in which the former had seen bim recontly taking his daily run in that part of the province, chating and fuming.The fover-stricken man travelled a distance from home, and at sight of the stonm-engine fell on his knees, tendered an offering of corn and sweets, and extolled its might.This proved irresistible.The evil ono was appoased.The pationt recovered, and the power of the locomotive is magnified in Indian oyes.It is a pity to disturb the now theology, but it is ovident that tho curo was really the result of change of air.Pope Leo XIII has enjoined on the Hangariau Episcopate to carry out in their ut a | Bible revision committee have completed extremest Aigor tho \u2014 2 respecting mixed i The Episcopate has consequently addressed a cites to the clergy forbidding them to celebrate mixed marriages, even when the i agree to bring up their issue in the kon an Catholic faith, This measure las stirs up the ire of the Hungarian Roman
