Ocr.25, 1894.Tae death of the Czar is daily looked for.His condition is such that he is unable to proceed to Corfu and the marriage of his eldest sop has been hastened, in order that he may qualify for the succession.There is a feeling throughout Europe that the death of the Czar will lead to trouble, for he is credited with having prevented war several times by his personal influence.WorD comes from London that Mr Foster has floated a new loan for 12% million dollars, at 3 per cent.The bonds were offered at 95 and are now near par.The terms obtained go to show Mr Hall was right in opposing the placing of the Quebec loan in Paris.THERE is a doubtful report from the east, that the Japanese army crossed the river Yalu and attacked their opponents entrenched on the eastern bank.After severe fighting, the Japs recrossed the river.The report has not been confirmed and is not generally credited.A decisive engage- ment may be looked for soon, as both armies will have to go into winter quarters next month.Where the fighting is going on, is far north, and the winters are very severe.The Chinese fleet is reported to have refitted and to be again ready for action.There is no prospect of an early peace, and it looks as if the war would be fought out to the bitter end.The Japauese parliament has voted all the supplies and powers asked for to carry on the war.THE Dominion government has taken a criminal action against Emanuel St.Louis for $144,000, the amount he is alleged to have fraudulently drawn to supply labor to build the Curran bridge.The premier is doubtless in earnest, and thecountry wishes him all success in bringing to justice one of the many who think it no crime to overcharge the government.In connection with the Lachine canal management, the government is dispensing with some of its supernumeraries.One of them, Francois Corbeil, on receiving notice of his dismissal, told a Herald reporter: \u201cIf Mr.Ouimet permits the abolition of my office he willruin the Conservative party's prospects in Quebec.\u201d We are, of course, bound to believe the Conservative party to be hastening to decay, but that it bas already reached such a condition of weakness that discharging a wharfinger is to put it out of office.we have our doubts.Mr.Corbeil to thecontrary, discharging parasites on the country will rather help the government.AT THE convention of teachers, held in Montreal last week, the president, Mr.Parmalee, complained that more attention was being paid to higher education than to elementary, and that the means of education provided in the Protestant settlements were inadequate as to extent and imperfect inkind.A school inspectorafter- wards hazarded the assertion that 80 per cent.of the teachers are untrained.That the standard of education in the average common school is not what could be wished is too true.That the system of separate schools, by dividing support, leads to this is .apparent, for a settlement that could keep up one good school can only keep in existence two poor ones.Allowing for this, ourcommon schools would do better work were they confined to fewer subjects and fewer text books.Toteach boys and girls to read, write, and count is attainable, but it isnot done.Wespeak with knowledge when we say it is the exception to flud those who have attended the average country school able to write a letter in correct English and in a plain legiblehand.That such is the case is due largely to the time and attention of the scholars being taken up with subjects that are not equally essential.Boys are laboring with proportion who cannot add correctly, and girls deep in grammar who do not know the meaning of words.Our schools would effect more if they attempted Jess, and for this the committee of the council of instruction, which prescribes the course of study, is responsible, not the teachers.The boy or girl who can read with ease and understanding, who can write 80 as to convey their meaning clearly and concisely, and add, subtract and divide with accuracy, is fit to hold their own in life\u2019s battle, and have obtained possession of the keys that unlock the treasures of the world\u2019s knowledge.A thorough grounding iu the three R\u2019s is all our elementary schools should be allowed to attempt.Our teachers are an estimable and , capable body of young women, who render services out of all proportion \u2018to their remuneration, and they (would do more effective work had they fewer studies and fewer text | books.Mr BLAKE began a series of meetings in the chief American cities on behalf of the parliamentary fund of the Home Rulers by addressing a , small audience in a large hall in New York on the evening of the 17th.His speech did not contain anything striking and was of interest to Canadians solely as showing the progress 1 he has made in learning how to vilify , the Imperial government.Ireland\u2019s \u201cdecrease in population and Ireland\u2019s poverty he ascribed to British rule.\u201cTerribly misgoverned, over taxed Ireland could not,\u201d he said, \u201cbe expected to make progress.\u201d To tell the truth, that Ireland\u2019s decrease in population was beneficent, would not do.Ireland was unable to sustain the numbers of 1841, and it is surely better to have Irishmen in Liverpool, Glasgow, or Canada in comfort than starving in Dublin and Cork.In the same way, it did not suit Mr Blake\u2019s purpose to tell that Ireland pays much less taxes than Scotland yet has a larger number of members in parliament.The easy way of shifting all Ireland\u2019s woes on to the shoulders of England suits Mr Blake as it suits the men he associates with, who make their living by keeping alive a feeling of discontent that .would otherwise die out.Mr Blake's | thus pandering to the base prejudices of his hearers did not molify the hostile disposition of part of them towards him personally.Regarded as , the figurehead of the constitutional movement, several hundred Irishmen had crowded into the hall to vent their disapproval of him and the section of Home Rulers he represents., While he was speaking there was an explosion in one of the boxes.It was a gigantic firecracker, designed , to throw the audience into a panic , by supposing it to be a dynamite bomb.It sputtered out, however, without frightening anybody.\u2018\u2018Hur- .rah for Parnell,\u201d shouted one man, \u2018How much are ye paid by John Morley?\u201d asked another of Blake the grim.Then when he had occasion to mention the names of Gladstone, Morley, Dillon, McCarthy, or Healy there were hisses and yells of , \u201cTo hell with Blake! Hurrah for Par- nelll\u201d When the meeting ended there was a row at the door, which the police nipped before it developed into a riot, and Blake was guarded by constables to his hotel.The wing of the Home Rule party, with whom Mr Blake has associated himself with in Ireland, affects a semblance of fealty to the British crown, and therefore a loyal man may mistakenly but in good faith work with them.It is entirely different with the Home Rulers in the United States.They are haters of Britain to a man and would do whatever lies in their power to injure or destroy her.At least nine-tenths of them have subscribed in the past to the funds of Fenian and like associations and if a portion of them now favor the constitutional movement it is because past experience has convinced them tbe physical means they can command are impotent against Eogland\u2019s power.Mr Blake knows this thoroughly, yet he goes to these haters of the Empire, these men whose speech is envenomed against his country and his Queen, for what?\u2014to Leg their dollars to assist in his scheme for the disruption of the United Kingdom.Whatever may have been thought of Mr Blake's course in the past, whatever eycuses urged for a chivalricand enthusiastic temperament misled by the representations of the agitators in Ireland, must now be awept aside.TheCana- dian who crosses the frontier to beg money from citizens of a foreign power, who are enemies of the Empire, is not a loyal man and is unworthy of the land that gave him birth.We can conceive of nothing more unpatriotic, nothing more despicable, than for Mr Blake to seek to accomplish a constitutional revolution in Great Britain with means supplied by citizens of the United States.Last month Lord Plunkett, Archbishop of Dublin, consecrated an Episcopal clergyman, who has long labored in Madrid, as a bishop.This evoked the condemnation of the head of the Catholic hierarchy.followed by the protest of the Papal nuncio.The point of these solemn protestations is, that the Spanish government is held responsible for not preventing the consecration, and there is an active movement going on in political circles to punish the premier by driving him from office.The power of clerical influence is going to be tested in Spain, and the world will see whether an act of the simplest toleration is going to upset the ministry of the day.THE dullness in cheese is the result of the rebound from speculative feeling that kept prices so high in July and August.Dealers got bit and there is no louger any buying to hold.Cheese is now bought only for actual wants and at the price warranted by Liverpool quotations.There is no prospect of a rise, for there has been a large make in Britain this season.Butter is still too dear here to permit of its being shipped at a profit, with the result of accumulating stocks in Montreal and in the creameries.It is doubtful if there is more creamery butter in the province than local wants will absorb before spring, but it is different with dairy, common qualities of which it is daily becoming harder to sell at any price.There have been large receipts of Manitoba butter at Toronto, where it has been sold as low as 10 cents.MANITOBA farmers believe they are being defrauded by their wheat being used by dealers for mixing with inferior grades and then sold as Manitoba No.1.Itis alleged that this is common, with the result of a lower | price in Manitoba than would otherwise be the case.Casesare quoted of cargoes being sold as No 1 hard, which contained 10 per cent of scoured wheat bought in Dakota.There is a movement to end this frand, which hurts both the farmer in Manitoba and the buyer across the Atlantic.It seems there is a large quantity of inferior grain at Chicago and other American ports, which unscrupglous dealers want to work off.HarPEr's MoNTHLY for November.The question often asked, Which isthe best magazine?has become more preplexing to answer than ever, owing to the extraordinary increase in the number of monthly illustrated periodicals.While recognizing the merits of these, each having some peculiar quality of its own that commends iteelf-to the reader, we are bound to say that, on the whole, the oldest magazine on the continent is still without its equal.Taking it all round Harper's Monthly is the best.1t avoidsgrooves and catering to a certain class, and maintains its reputation for general interest and readability.Its editing is specially careful, and each number presents a judicious mixture of grave and gay, of interesting and instructive

Jobn Lang, on the 16th October.There were ten entries; viz.five in the married men\u2019s class with wooden plows, four in the Senior and one in theJunior.Theland was very hard and stiff and the weather most inclement, but the plowmen all finished their respective lots inside the allotted time and in a very creditable manner.Lunch was served in the field, and, after the plowing was done, a sumptuous dinner, for which the directors would take this oppor- tupity of thanking Mr.and Mrs.Lang.The judges were Messrs James Bryson, John Logan and George Petrie, who awarded the prizes as

attended, but chief interest is centred in the match to be held on Moe\u2019s farm near Ormstown which is open to the province.For some time it has been surmised that liquor was being sold by unlicensed persons here, and many young men as well as old were frequenting these places.It was not surprising, therefore, when it became known that Mr Trepannier, occupying the old Bachant premises, was fined $120 Monday for selling the stuff.The information is supposed to have been laid in the interest of the licensed hotels, who, of course, are jealous of their unlicensed rivals.R.Robertson has

part of last week, but since Thursday last the weather has been charming\u2014 more like that of late Septem than mid-October.ptember The ladies of the Anglican church here invited their friends and the public generally to a at kegiving ;supper on Thursday last.Thoug the aflair was somewhat of an impromptu character and the notice given rather short, the attendance was quite large.The supper was an excellent one and reflected great credit on the culinary skill of the good ladies who prepared it.A short programme of musical selections, vocal and instrumental, and readings and recitations, was gone through with after the supper was over, and seemed to give pleasure and satisfaction to the audience.In the genial and graceful address of welcome and introduction, which the Rev Mr Jeakius made at the opening of the musical and literary part of the entertainment, he stated that the cost of the parsonage recently built by the Anglican congregations of this place and of Hallerton, was $1600, all but $250 of which has been paid or provided for.The good people of those congregations certainly deserve credit for the enterprise and liberality which they have shown in providing a home for their pastor.The net proceeds of the entertainment (about $42) is to be applied to the reduction of the debt due on parsonage.A \u201cscratch\u201d match between two teams of our local marksmen, ca tained respectively by W.McNaughton and H.A.Johnson, came off on the range near this village on Thursday last.The teams were composed of ten men each\u2014ranges 400 and 500 yards, 7 rounds at the former and 5 atthelatter.Mr MeNaughton\u2019s team won by 25 points.The scoring was not phenomenal.It would have been better, no doubt, than it was, but for the fact that among the number on both teams were several who had not had much practice in rifle shooting, and that an unfavorable wind prevailed most of the time while the shooting was going on.The crack shotson both teams Made fairly good shooting at both ranges, W.Me- Naughton (captain) making the highest score, Corpl.D.McNaughton (Bisley man) 2nd, and Lieut.J.F.Scriver 3rd.The losing team entertained their successful competitors toa supper.The supper was provided by Mr W.Wark and, needless to say, was a bountiful and appetizing one.Quite a \u201cspurt\u201d in the lamb trade took place here last week.A Boston buyer commissioned some of ourlocal dealers to pick up a lot for him.Be tween 400 and 500 were secured at rices averaging $2.25 to the farmers.he Boston dealer declined to take any of less weight than 70fb.The lambs bought were, upon the whole, a pretty good lot.It is hoped that the purchaser will be so encour by the result of his venture as to come back for more.There is still à considerable

Methodist churches respectively.The Rev A.Rowat of Athel- stan acted as moderator, and the Rev J.Nichols of Montreal was appointed as clerk pro tem.The meeting was a special one and was called for the induction of the Rev James H.Beatt, late of Cumberland, Ont.After some preliminary business divine service was conducted by the Rev D.Drummond of Russeltown, who preached from the text Matt.v., 14: \u2018Let your light so shine,\u2019 ete.At the close of the sermon, the Rev A, Rowat narrated the steps which had led to the calling of Mr Beatt, and the present meeting.He then put the usual questions to the pastor- elect, and receiving satisfying answers to these, he formally inducted him into the pastoral charge of the church and congregation and the members of the Presbytery gave Mr Beatt the right hand of fellowship.The Rev D.W.Morison of Orms- town then addressed the new minister in suitable terms.He congratulated him upon the fact that the call had been unanimous.This would help him in his work.The Rev J.Nichols was then called upon to address the congregation in relation to its duties.He congratulated the people upon having put off the \u2018widow's weeds\u2019 and of again utting on the marriagerobes.Then fe called their attention to the fact that they would play an important part in making the minister a success or a failure.\u2018There shall be like ple like priest.\u2019 First, they must Pave confidence in him.Doubtis the first step to failure.He may not always be as wise as the serpent, but he is entitled to all theconfidence due to a cultured Christian gentleman, and a wise master builder in the temple of God.Then, they must give a dutiful attendance upon bis minis-; try.They had promised to do this, and they had no more right to absent themselves from the pew than he had to absent himself from the pulpit.Again, they must beware of carping criticism.Some people seemed to have been born to find fault, and it was regrettable that they were doing their best to make their calling and election sure.But consoriousness would never cure even real defects.Punctual payment of stipend was urged as very desirable where there was a large family and but a small salary.This brought the meeting to a close.After the benediction, the Rev Mr Morison and Mr Gibson, one of the elders, conducted Mr Beatt to the| door of the church, where he was introduced to the members and friends as they left.In the evening a large number from the surrounding district and a full turnout of the congregation attended the social in Oliver hall, to tender a reception to the new pastor and bid him welcome to Rockburn.Needless to say, the ladies fulfilled their part | of the programme in providing a bountiful supply of good things.Tea was served from 6.30 to 8 o'clock, when the chairman, Rev A.Rowat, called the meeting to order and in a few remarks welcomed the Rev Mr Beatt as a co-laborer in this district.After which speeches were delivered by Rev J.Nichols, of Montreal, and Rev Mr Brown of Franklin Centre, who said he was sorry that Rev Messrs Davis and Beattie were unable to be present, but was most happy, in the name of the Congregationalists, Methodists and Episcopalians, to extend a cordial welcome to Mr Beatt.Rev Mr Beatt, in a few well chosen remarks, thanked therev.place for the many kind tokens of ard he and Mrs Beatt had received sinee their arrival.He hoped the people would work with him and pray for him, that the cause of Christ might be advanced in this place.Net proceeds $34.VALLEYFIELD.The Plante estate has sold the part of the Nicolson grove owned by them to the St Jean Baptiste society.It is said the society intend spending considerable money in fixing up the grounds, placing seats, and making paths and flower gardens.The society have not for two years celebrated their annual fete in June, but next year it is proposed to have a monster demonstration, and to invite a number of sister societies from the neighboring towns in Canada as well asin New York and Vermont states to assist.Last Thursday the shareholders of the Montreal Cotton Coy, to the number of about fifty, visited the works here, After making a thorough inspection of the improvements to the mills, they expressed themselves much pleased.he success of the mill has been unique, for it has been earning substantial dividends while other lactories were

played a wonderfully strong game.Mr Lowe, who spent last winter exploring Labrador, passed part of this week in Valloyfield, visiting his parents, who reside here.Work on theCotton coy\u2019s new brick cottages is progressing rapidly, under the direction of Mr Adams, who expects to have them covered in before the cold weather reaches us.A local contemporary draws a picture of the relative positions of the lacrosse and football teams of the Valleyfield Amateur Athletic Association.The comparison is not ver favorable to the lacrosse team, while it is high complimentary to the football team.vers of lacrosse feel hurt at the attempted slur on their friends and point out, with a good amount of reason, that it is within the memory of many people when the football lads of Valleyfield were no more in it than were the lacrosse men this year.In this respect it might not be out of place to add that football teams in Valleyfield never won any fame or stayed together for a whole season until they were taken under the wing of the V.A.A.A., which is supported largely by lacrosse admirers, and any attempt to cast dirt on lacrosse by lauding football is, to say the least, unkind.There has been a time in the history of lacrosse in Valleyfield when the team won as many matches and held as many trophies as the fooball team of this season, Monday a silver-tailed fox made his appearance in Mrs McDonald\u2019s yard,and was preparing to help bim- self to the fowls when discovered.In less time than it takes to tell, there were a score of amateur hunters chasing Mr Reynard, who, up to

enough wild duck to supply themselves and a number of their friends with canvas-back dinners.It is needless to say that their friends hope they will go again.AMONG THE LOOMS.MONTREAL HERALD: The little town of Valleyfield had a gala day Thursday, when the directors of the Montreal Cot ton Co, accompanied by some shareholders and friends, paid an informal visit to their magnificent mills in that place.The sun rose with a smile and the day was one continual round of pleasure.At exactly 9 o'clock in the morning a special G.T.R.car left Bonaventure depot with 40 people bound for Valley- field.Among those present were: A F.Gault, R.L.Grant, Hon.J.K.Ward, Charles Garth, J.Grenier, E.K.Greene, S.H.Ewing, (directors), Henri Barbeau manager of City and District bank; A.C.Clark, J.Y.Gilman, Dr.Lovejoy, Jno.MacFarlane, F.Nicholls, G.H.Matthew, James Wilson, jr., A.8.Ewing, 8.Finley, G.F.C.Smith, E.Lichtenheim, vice-president of the Ville Marie bank, Charles Hosmer, Ed.Hanson, Wm.Hanson, A.L.De Martigny, manager of the Jacques Cartier bank; J.0.Villeneuve, George Greene, Wm.Reid, J.Horsfall, J.Shearer, J.Contin, C.R.Whitehead, P.P.Martin, S.O.Shorey, C.E.Gault, P.R.Gault, A.H.Plimsoll, J.Wilson and C.H.Blackader.At Valleyfield the party was joined by S.De Martigny, Manager of the Jacques Cartier bank of the town; Louis Simpson, manager of the Montreal Cotton Co.and D.F.Smith, secretary of the same company.The occasion was the celebration of the recent improvement and enlargement of the mills and a desire on the part of the president, A.F.Gault, to show his directors what existed in their enterprise at Valleyfield.They certainly found out.Mr.Simpson, the manager, at once took the visitors to the mills, and showed carefully every detail of the cotton industry from the raw plant away through sixty processes to the colored fabrics worn in gowns in the fashionable homes of the land.He showed that $300,000 had been spent on new buildings in order to combine epin- ning, weaving, converting,dyeiog, an ex- orting under one roof\u2014a venture never fore perfectly established on thisconti- nent.At twelve o'clock the directors and all the party gathered atthefactory door and watched the 1,500 employees file out.Hon.J.K.Ward, who has the honor of being second president of the Cotton co., and also of being the oldest business man present, showed one of the first pieces of cotton ever made in thefactory, and in Canada.It was handled and compared with the colored cottons of to-day.An Taformal meeting of the directors was held, while the others visited the factory club where billiards and other games were provided.The club is part of the cotton factory, and at one end is a long building as a skating rink in winter.At two o'clock a fine dinner was served at the hotel of Jos.St.Onge, and all sat down to a hearty repast.The dinner and service did Mr St Onge credit, as well as the cotton co.After dinner R.F.Gault proposed a toast to the honored president, À.F.Gault, his brother.A.F.Gault said, in response, that the cotton company had seen dark days, but by eue and application they had come out on top of the heap.Their buildings, at present, he thought, were unsurpassed in the world, and more especially on this continent.He indicat- ton, after passing through all its wonderful phases in the mill, was, in some qualities, sold as low as 4 cents a ya In his opinion no money had been spent wrongly, and the company was fully abreast of the times.e claimed not the whole credit for bringing the com- dany through its dark days, for there were others in the directorate who had done equally as much and more.Hewas greeted with applause, G.F.C.Smith of the Liverpool, London and Globe Insurance company, proposed the health of the directors.To this Mr.Garth responded first.Then Hon.J.K.Ward, one of the directors of the Company, and whose foresight and business tact aided the company in its early days, spoke of the company's wonderful results from such a small inception.He recalled the late Sir Hugh Allan, with whom he had driven in waggons over the ground now covered by the mills.He remembered when they had little money and little credit, and how the little band of directors saved the concern.The mill, he said, was the first in Canada to make bleached goods, but the change had come perforce.He hoped that under Mr.Simpson's management the company would in the near fature, not only pay a dividend, buta great big bonus, J.Grenier spoke, and was followed by manager Simpson in a clever business address, mentioning specially that the president had aided him much by building a new school, which would attract: intelligent workmen to Valleyfield.A.F.Gault proposed the health of the mayor of Valleyfield as well as of the mayor of the parish.Mayors Sullivan, of the town, and Beaudet, of the parish, responded.Ir.Gilmour proposed the toast of the selling agents.To this Mr.Blackader responded suitably, mentioning that Mr.Stephenson was away in England, and that he spoke on behalf of the firm of Stevenson, Blackader and Co.D.F.Smith, secretary of the cotton company, then spoke.8.Ewing proposed the health ofmayor Villeneuve, to which his worship responded in his own clever way.The president of the chamber of commerce was next toasted, this institution has recently opened a branch at Valley- field.Mr.Marchand responded on behalf of Mr St Onge, and stated that some people were under the impression that the morals ol a factory town were not good, but in Valleyfield, he was happy to say that the factory people were as moral and as well behaved as people in any other centres of population, that not only was this his testimony but he could sayso on the authority of Bishop Emard and of the Cure, Father Santoire.Mr Marchand further stated that for this good state of affairs they had chiefly to thank Mr Simpson.Jno MacFarlane, manager of the Canada Paper company, made a short speech on the trade of Canada and after singing the National Anthem the party rushed to catch the Montreal train.On the train small souvenirs of the trip were distributed by Mr Blackader.The trip to the city was enlivened by speeches, songs, recitations, etc.in which G F C Smith was a popular figure.This is the first jaunt of the kind since 1883.CANADA.ToroNTO, Oct.28.\u2014The Conservative members of the Ontario Legis- Jature met to-day in the Empire office to elect a successor to Chief Justice Meredith, as leader.Over a score of members were present and decided on Mr Marter, who is a total abstainer and pronounced probibi- tionist.His resolution calling for the stoppage of all retail licences in the province led to the taking of the Ontario plebiscite, the government resorting to that expedient to avoid a vote on the direct issue, Heisa fair speaker, is active and energetic, and in the 54th year of his age.Sherbrooke, Oct.28.\u2014The French exodus to the United States is largely on the increase.Every train going through or leaving this city is loaded up with them.They come mostly from the counties bordering on the St.Lawrence.Many of them cannot utter one single word of English and still they expect to do better than in their own country.The majority of them are factory hands who ad to leave Uncle Sam\u2019s domains when the McKinley crash came.They are returning to the States to resume their old work.A letter received here from Manchester, N H, gives a good idea of the French-Can- adian emigration to the United States.It states that within the last week over 300 tenement houses in that city which had been tenant- Jess since the financial depression, have all been leased.; the separate school, with 94 pupils, cost $29.38 per head Jearls.he cost of maintaining the separate school in 8t Peter's, with seven pupils, was $58 per head, and in 8t Andrew\u2019s with nine pupils, $56.The people up there thought that the money so wasted onseparate schoolsshould go towards road-making and similar improvements.Plans have been prepared for a dairy building which to be erected adjacent to Rideau Hall, Ottawa.Lady Aberdeen is desirous of possessing a model dairy so that her children and servants may be instructed in the latest methods of butter-mak- ing, etc.The building will only be a small one but it will be fitted up with all the latest appliances.It will be ready for occupation by the time the viceregal party has returned from the Pacific coast.Toronto, October 22.\u2014The whole of theGrandTrunk system in Ontario, in so far as the conductors are concerned, isexcited over orders that took effect thismorning.They completely change the running eystem of the men.It is believed that the changes are the outcome ofthe trial now pending at Montreal.Hereafter, conductors are not to have fixed routes, but are liable at any time to be sent eust or west, preventing their making acquaintances or ing passengers for a bribe that goes into their own pockets.Victoria, B.C., October 22.\u2014A party of eighty Norwegian immigrants from : Crookstown, Minn., bavearrived here.' It is said they are the advance guard of 800 more who are to come.The party will leave during the week for llacoola, several hundred miles north on the coast, where a good tract of land has been reserved for them.This influx is the result of an agreement between the Norwegians and the government.The terms are not less than thirty families shall form a settlement, each family to be poseessed of at least $300 in cash.ach family is to receive one hundred and sixty acres of land rent free, and at the end of five years, provided that during that time improvements to the value of $5 an acre have been made, a free grant of the land will be given.The government isconstruct- ing wagon roads in the that locality.At Ste.Barbe there have always been those who cream the milk before delivering it at the factory.The old cure of the parish, Father Gagnon, being one day induced to preach against the creamers, had no more peace till he left Ste Barbe.This mania for skimming hag lately caused a good deal of trouble.In one day $144 was paid in ines.What a scandal!

were covered with leeches \u2014 pl there to foster and support the numerous industries established under the N.P., but they did not know it.They were told to look at their exports and savings bank de- posite.He found on questioning the armers, fishermen, and lumbermen, that, curiously enough, by a strange coincidence, none of them attributed the increasing exportain their respective industries to the N.P.He was astonished to find that there bad been spent on railways in Canada no Jews a sum than $455,000,000, or about twelve times the revenue of Canada, and where was this money obtained?Mr Foster wouldsay, \u201cOh, from the N.P.,\u201d but he ventured to differ, and say that every dollar of that amount had been borrowed from English or Scotch bankers.He observed that Mr Foster was again in London seeking to raise a loan, and now the national debt was almost the greatestin the world.Could they stand it?Hethought not.His opinion was that the quicker they returned to a condition as near free trade as possible the better.Not satisfied with the great debt under which the country was staggering, the government had decided to extort from them another $750,- 000 for a subsidy to a fast line of steamers, just so that people from Chicago and the west could eat sandwiches twice in Canada en route to Montreal to take the fast line.(Laughter.) And they were told that people in Great Britain would always come to Canada by the fast line, whereas the fact was that they would come as formerly, by whatever line had a vessel sailing when they were ready to come.Boston, Oct.28.\u2014Following the example of their American brethren, over 100 French-Canadians assembled at Hotel Clarendon yesterday afternoon, and organi as the French-Canadian Democratic Club.The purposes of the club are to induce French-Canadians, of whom it is claimed there are over 25,000 in Boston and vicinity, to become na turalized and to advance the cause of Democracy.Fort Worth, Texas, October 19.\u2014 The west bound Texas & Pacific thru express train for California, leaving here at 9.05 o'clock this morning, was robbed about noon today near Gordon, 70 miles west of here.The robbers secured about $20,000 from the Pacific Express company, and but for their inability to open the safe of the Texas & Pacific Coal company, containing $20,000 in gold, would bave made a better haul Four men did the work.They came upon a section gang about noon, covered them with rifles and forced them to spread the rails and flag the on-coming train.The engineer and fire-man were then lined up with the section gang and guarded while two men entered theexpresscar and covered the messenger before he was aware of their presence.Tar New York Times estimates that the price of the ordinary horse of commerce in that city has been reduced from $160 to $120 by reason of the substitution of the trolley for the car horse in the street railways.The price of the family driving animal has also fallen in consequence of the rage for the bicycle.APYERTISEMENTS forthe Gleaner must be handed in not later than Wednesday alternoon.No use leav- ing them on Thursday.arret ce dep = ke.1 en a pre \u2014 om = BIRTHS.'

CABLE.Paris, Oct.23.\u2014The exact termination of the nineteenth and the commencement of the twentieth century is a question which bas been exciting considerable discussion here of late.Even such scientific men as Camille Flamarrion and Dr Bertillon bad, not long ago, a sharp correspondence on the subject.One party maintains that the nineteenth century will end with its hundredth year, that is at the end of 1899.The opposing party holds that the twentieth century cannot possibly begin until January 1, 1901, just as the second decade of figures in numeration begins with 11, while 10 closes the first.The doubtful element is, therefore, the year 1900, which, according to one party, belongs to the nineteenth century, and according to the other, to the twentieth.As a result of the controversy, it is now proposed in Paris that the government shall fix the end of the century by official decision.Latest advices show that cholera in Europe is on the decrease, and itis hoped that the advent of cold weather will end the epidemie entirely.Cases are being reported in Holland, Belgium and France, but these are mostly of a sporadic nature and nowhere assume an epidemic form.London, October 22.\u2014The Grand Trunk report for the half year bas ust been issued to the stock-holders.t says that the past six months have been most disastrous owing to the trade depression, the silver difficulty, the coal strikes, the Pallman strikes and the low prices of produce.London, October 24.\u2014The oxcite- ment caused throughout Spain by the consecration of Senor Cabrera as Protestant Bishop of Madrid is inno way subsiding, and the intervention of the papal nuncio in the matter has given rise to a political question in connection with it.The latter, in bis letter approving the protest of Cardinal Monecillo, archbishop of Toledo, affirmed not only that the consecration was sacrilegious, but that it was also illegal.is action is considered by the Liberal press as an interference by a fo diplomatist in the internal affairs of the country, and some journals even suggest that the government should band him his passports.Meanwhile further Jrotests are coming im from all the Spanish bishops, each complaining of theconsecration, notonly as an outrage on the traditional rights of the Spanish church, but al- #0 as a violation of article xii of the constitution.The Liberals, on the other hand, claim that has been no violation of theconstitution, as is tolerates all forms of worship in private, and the consecration was privately celebrated with closed doors in a building erected Lord Plunket, Protestant archbishop of Dublin, at his own expenses.The Catholics however, insist that there isa t difference between the toleration of any form of worship in rivate and the public assamption of title of bishop, es when couferred by an archbishop of a for country.The whole matter will brought up in the Courte and is expected to be the cause of lively debate.eue

villages adjoining the city.The talk about encouraging the use of pure, wholesome native wines in Canada in order to do away with drunkenness is all cant of the worst kind.The result of the government analysis of native wines bought of dealers in Montreal is that not one sample of unadulterated native wine apparently to increase the amount of alcohol in native wines, sngar was added, and some samples were found fortified with alcohol.Some of the samples are declared to be \u2018unwholesome,\u201d which has obvious reference to some other bad qualities than the principle of intoxication.Of seventeen samples of wine analyzed in Montreal only five were found certainly pure, five were found doubtful, and of these five alcohol bad been added in most cases, and sugar probably in two or thrée, while the remaining seven were adulterated.Native wines are, it appears from Montreal\u2019s record of government analyses, of all wines those which are most likely to be impure and most unwholesome.Theargumentinfavor of the use of native wines falls to the ground; native wines are found to be worse than others, bad as they all are.\u2014Witness.D.H.LOYNACHAN C.W.SCRIVER LOYNACHAN &
