independent position.- As it is several of the party with whom he has Hither.: to acted are so thoroughly disgusted with ' by the aid of which he secured a small majority, that they would | like to have him read out of the party altogether.This ja, ne doubt, a rate remedy in the present weak condition of the | Comservative Party ; but decisive measures are sometimes indispensable ; and the lopping off of the Langevin branch might possibly stimulate the trunk to a more vi and a healthier growth.It would also be a lesson by which those who trade on the religious prejudices of an ignorant peasantry might profit for all time.In this connection, the disingenuousness of a Montreal paper, which says that there is nothing to connect the rame of Mr.Tarte with the manifesto, should not he passed over.The Coradien, of which Mr.Tarte is editor, bas fully accepted the authorship of that circular.Then he published Mr.Tremblay\u2019s circular address as an answer to the mavifesto, without disclaiming its authorship, though he professed toreply to those journals which connected his name with it.THE PARIS EXHIBITION, The following is a brief summary of the principal regulations issued by

Another Name.The Toronto Glole, the most determined opponent of national legislation calculated to benefit the industrial interests of the country, has been, strange to say, the most ardent advocate of what is known as the Credit Valley bonus scheme.That \u201cscheme would devote $250,000 of the money of the Toronto taxpayer to the aid of a railway company.Of the merits of the projected line we know nothing\u2014if they are all that is represented the money will probably Le well spent.What we wish to point out, however, is the inconsistency of the Globe's action.In ene direction scoffing at the bare idea of helping an enterprise even by negative legislation\u2014legislation which would not cost Canadians one cent\u2014in another we .see it boldly advocating a deep dip int) the public pocket, so that a company of speculators may be aided.Bonus-giving, under certain circumstances, is most commendable, but it is a most extreme phase of the Protective theory.Charch and State.The collective * declaration\u2019 put forth by the Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church in the Ecclesiastical Province of Quebec, on the subject of the recent judgment of the Supreme Court in the appealed Charlevoix election case, is marked by a moderation of tone which contrasts favorably with the strong language used by that portion of the Trench press which professes to speak for the clergy.The interpretation of a law \u201c otherwise commendable\u201d by the Supreme: Court is protested against, as calculated to deprive the Church of the means of legitimate defense, and expose her to perils of a political nature while tying her hands, but only a constitutional remedy is asked for, and that in terms to which no one can pretend to take exception.While the case of the Church is briefly and tersely put, we cannot refrain from expressing the opinion that their Lordships have only viewed one aspect of the question, and that they hold an exaggerated idea o the dangers to which the Roman Catholic Church may be exposed in the future.Ina country like Canada, where one-third of the population professes the Catholic faith, and yields an obedience to clerical guidance such as neither is expected from the congregations or extended to the ministry of other communions, Catholicism can be exposed tono such perils as the hierarchy picture.Did a political party exist whose object was the destruction of the Church, and were the candidates of such a party put forward for election in counties whose population is Catholic, there would be some grounds for claiming protection for the Church, but, as perties are constituted at present, one vies with the other in professing obedience and submission to the clergy.Even in the Jacques Cartier contest, when the representative man of the extreme principles of Rougeism was seeking election, after his elevation to the Ministry, complete acknowledgment of the authority of the Church in political matters was alleged in his behalf, and his perfeet subjection to its mandates proclaimed.\u2018What would be the fate of any candidate going into a Catholic county and professing openly irreligion, declaring himself the apostle of iconoclasm and the subversion of the ecclesiastical order ?Why, he would be torn to picces, cither actually or figuratively.To illustrate their argument their Lordships are obliged to suppose a case, and upon this supposition is based the position whose danger to the Church is insisted upon.In the Charlevoix case there was no choice, so far as professed devotion to religion went between Messrs.Langevin and Tremblay, wlile in private character both may be said to be tarred with the same stick ; yet one man is denounced from the pulpit the length and breadth of the county, and eternal damnation threatened against those who vote for him, while the other, with the spoils - of the Pacific Railway business still warm in his pocket, is cried up as a saintly innocent.There was no religious interest at stake in Charlevoix, Dut there certainly was party interest, and in its behalf, the undue influence censured by the Supreme Court was exercised.The Church did not need any defence in an obedient, faithful constituency like Charlevoix uny more than it did in Bonaventure ; the issues were purely partisan, not a single religious principle was involved, not an item of discipline in question, yet, on behalf of Couscrvative candidates, the pulpits rang with denunciation of their Liberals antagonists.The same thing has been scen throughout the political contests of the past, and, if we are to judge from the ¢ declaration,\u201d will be continued in the future.\u2018We sve nothing in the interpretation of the law which places the Roman Catholic Church under any disability whatever.The wears of defence which their Lordships insist upen are enjoved in their fullest in- The Supreme Court dealt with the fact= loid down in the Charlevoix case, and judging fiom them, censured the abuse oj their positions indulged in by the implicated clergymen, bul in no way expressed any powers of jurisdiction over the excreise o religion, The priest was considered az a citizen, and therefore, asa citizen, responsible for bis acts.Take away this responsibility, and justify the license marking the conduct of those clergymen in the Charlevoix election, and to'what a condition would society be reduced?Whenever the dignity and liberty of the Church is threatened in Cana- de, she\u2019 will not be wanting in spiritual tegrity, arms, and the law will be found behind her back to protect her in hes legitimate resistance to any attack upon her canstitutionally guaranteed integrity.We would sigralize one danger to the Church which may arise in the near future if the present policy of alliance, right or wrong, with the Conservative party be adhered to.The Liberal party in Oneher 33 being gradually crushed out, as it were, by means of religious pressure, and Ultramon- tane Conservatism taking its place.The Church party wiil in time come to be found in antagonism to the rest of the representation of the Dominion, a representation, let us say, susceptible of great expansion, as the country grows up, and capable of making the position extremely disagreeable, The pressure of extreme demands would consolidate against the Quebec delegation the vote of the remainder of Parliament, and thus, perhaps, bring about a state of affairs that would be farfrom beneficial.While there is every desire at the present time to preserve feelings of ike closest amity, it must not be forgotten that there is a point beyond which elasticity will not go.No more undesirable policy than that of ranging this Province against the rest of the confederacy on purely reli gious grounds could be adopted, and any attempt to bring it about will be surely followed by disastrous consequences, \u2014 Mr.Stephen J.Meany has kindly consented to deliver a lecture in the course of a couple of weeks, under the auspices of the Trish Catholic Union.\u2014 Rev.Joshua Denovan, minister of the St.Catherine Street Baptist Church, has resigned his charge, and is about to sail for England, to solicit contributions for the Grand Ligne Mission.\u2014 In the notice of the singing at St.Pat- 1ick\u2019s Church on Sunday, we should have given credit forthe bass solo to Mr.Shea in place of Mr.O'Brien, Mrs.Farmer had the soprano solos, to which she did full justice.\u2014 The operative bakers of the city have Leld a miceting with the view of endeavoring to obtain higher wages\u2014the present rates in French Canadian establishments being only $5 or 86 per week for journeymen.Ald.Thibault and Mr.St.Pierre addressed the men oa Saturday last, and counselled moderation, ST.PaTRick\u2019s SucteTy.\u2014At the annual meeting of this Society last evening, the President, Mr.B.Deviin, M.P., informed those present tbat as the day was a legal holiday, it was not certain if the election of cfficers could take place, and advised that it would be Detter to call a meeting for to- vight.He then referred to a paragraph which appeared in thé Witness to the effect that the mevting for the election of officers would be attended with violence, and expressed bis great astonishment that a paper should allow its calumns to be a channel to lander the Irish Catholics, Kuxros Crun.\u2014At the meeting of the Ruklos Club at the rooms, Beaver Hall, on Saturday night, Mr.W.Leslie Thom, of the Star, read a paper on \u201cThe French- Canadian Chroniqueurs.\u201d In introducing his subject he sketched the rapid strides which French literature in Canada has been making in the past decade, the extraordinary intellectual activity being displayed by a host of able writers, and the large results flowing from the labors of writers who are almost without the resources enjoyed by English writers.He then described that peculiar, but now almost extinct, feature of French journalism, the chronique, and illustrated the style of the two most famous of the chroniqueurs, Buies and Fabre, by numerous translations.In terminating the paper he said that Euglish readers had to unlearn a good many of their impressions relative to French literary activity in Canada, and learn to appreciate wore and more the nobleness of a national literature.ENGLISH WoRKINGMEN\u2019s BENEFIT So- CIETY.\u2014The annual meeting was held last evening in Perry\u2019s Hall.Reports were read and adopted from the Doctors, Treasurer and Stewards.Five members were proposed, and five elected.The election of officers for the ensuing year then took place, and resulted as follows : President, John Curtis Cluk (re-elected) ; 1st Vice-President, John Wingham ; 2nd Vice-President, W.D.Sharpe ;

postponed till next meeting.A Committee was appointed to make arrangements for the annual pic-nic on Deminion Day, Chambly being the most favored spot.Lachine Canal Works.The works on the various sections of the Canal were greatly retarded last week by the thaw.Owing to the breaking of the dam on No.6 section on Wednesday last, No.5 became flooded, and the water drove Mr.Charlebois men out of the works.With such an additional weight of water te No.5, the dam of that section also burst, flooding No.4 section and stopping the works.There are some seven feet of water at Brewster\u2019s biidge, and the difficulty was to get the water out in time to have the bridge completed on the 4th May, St.Patrick\u2019s Academy.The pupils of this academy, under the direction of Principal McHay, gave a dramatic and musical entertainment last evening at Point St.Charles.Among those present were the Rev.Fathers Hogan and Salmon, Messrs.Fd.Murphy, M.P.Ryan, Owen McGarvey, J.J.Curran, Q.C., and E.McKeown.The pieces played by the scholars were: \u201cJack of all Trades\u201d and \u201cCherry Bounce,\u201d and the manner in which they acquitted themselves elicited loud applause.Mr.Curran delivered an eloquent address, after which the Rev.Father Hogan spoke words of encouragement and praise to the pupils.He expressed the hope that their parents would appreciate the benefits of a good education, and keep them at school.If taken from their teachers at a too early age, children would be fit for nothing but to handle the pick and shovel ; but, with the great advantages of education, Irish youths might take leading positions in life in this country.Captain Kirwan, who was to have been present, could not attend, from a slight indisposition.Faney Dress Ball.The Fancy Dress and Masquerade Ball at Signor Hazazer's Academy last night was well attended, and the costumes were rich spd well varied.The Signor has a very Jarge and valuable collection of costumes, and most of them

OTTAWA, April 2.\u2014As in all Canadian towns, driving is a favorite amusement at Ottawa in the winter time, and the denizens are not a little proud of their nags and equipages.A few hackmen drive very showy teams, and there is very good horseflesh at the livery stables.One turnout, bowever, which anyone coming to the capital would expect to see, but which is only conspicuous by its absence, is the Governor- General's.Lord Dufferin indeed seldom or | never drives about the streets of Ottawa, nor is the vice-regal family coach often seen in the streets.OF course, the noble sport of sleigh-driving suffers from this cireumstance ; yet the sleigh-bells jingle merrily on\u2014or rather did jingle until a day or two ago, when the disappearance of the snow put a stop to their music.How Lord Dufferin consoles himself for the loss of this, the most enjoyable of all Canadian winter sports, it would be difficult to say, unless sliding down an unsightly incline of boards, which looks for all the world like a fire escape, can he construed into amusement.This, in the estimation of his Excellency, may be tobogganing, but those who remem.ter the slide on the slope of Mount Royal, reaching from the old Mactavish House to Sherbrooke street, will fail to recognize the sport when they look upon the hoist and inclined scaffold at Rideau Hall.LIFE AT OTTAWA is not such as to afford the Governor-General that social recreation which one in his position would naturally desire.The society of the capital is almost exclusively made up-of civil service employes, and which, even if it really represented the Canadian social element, native or adopted, would still fail to represent the independent class\u2014that class without which there can be no real representation of Canadian society.Thus it happens strangely enough that the representative of tle sovereign in this country is practically isolated from the only class who can exercise influence on the people of Canada or give expression to their views.À man might live all his life among the civil servants of this country and know little or nothing about the aspirations, the feelings or the national sentiment of its people.Once a year, it is true, the representatives of its politics assemble in Parliament here; but the Governor-General could mot attend the deliberations without committing a breach of privileges, and, of course, he never does.It is much to be regretted that something cannot be done to bring the Governor-General more in contact with\u2014not the people of Ottawa, or rather the civil servants stationed there\u2014 but with the people of Canada as a whole.The Dominion does not possess a great social centre as England does in London, and the difficulty is a difficult one to get over ; still, if the Governor-General were to reside in Mentreal for at least six or eight months in the year, the object would be, in a measure at least, obtained.| THE HOUSE was very thin all day to-day, those members .who had gone to spend their Easter holidays at home, including the leaders on the Opposition side, not having yet returned.Many notices of motion were dropped on being called, and many a private bill had to stand over.At eight o'clock the Government .measures were called, the first time during the session that Government business was reached on a private business day.The Government went on with those measnses which were not likely to meet with opposition, so as to give the members a chance to The Weather Outlook.METEOROLOGICAL OFFICE, TORONTO, April 3, 10 a.m.\u2014Probabilities for the next 24 hours: For lower lake region and St.Lawrence, falling barometer, moderate to fresh south-easterly winds, with warmer weather, and increasing cloudiness.City News.-\u2014 The S8.¢ Moravian,\u201d from Portland, has arrived out.| \u2014 The 8S.\u201cPolynesian\u201d arrived at Port- { Jand at 5.20 this morning.\u2014Lo, the grasshopper!

Dr.Ricard.On his arrival at the place he + found a certificate from the Doctor ordering that the following persons be conveyed to the General Hospital :\u2014 Emile Resac, Jean, Antoine and Paul Saurat.It appears that the former procured a bottle containing some kind of liquid and he brought it to No.19 in the same strect to treat his friends, The house is kept by Cordelia St.Louis and two other girls.After drinking some of .the contents of the bottle they complained of pains in the stomach, and it is supposed that the bottle contained poison.He fur- .ther slates that he searched for the bottle, but in vain, as they had evidently smashed it in their mad frenzy.; - Easter Vestries.; ST.Tnomas\u2019 Cuuner.\u2014The annual Easter ; vestry meeting of this ehurch was held, 2nd !

doubtless, rejoice to see so sensible a policy acted upon, There must be a large business common to the lines of the Canada Southern and Great Western Companies, along the share of Lake Erie, to and from Toronto and points east.QUEENS BENCH.Crown Side.Hen.Justice Ramsay presiding.Me.Mousseau, Q.C., M.P., represented the Crown.Henri Brault was placed on his \u2018trial for stealing a sheep, and pleaded guilty.Domina Robert, charged with the theft of a sheep, also pleaded guilty.Joseph Chalifoux was tried on a charge of stealing a young cow from Adolphe Ste.Marie, of Laprairie, on the 25th February last.The prisoner had afterwards sold the animal for $0.50.The jury wendered a verdict of guilty without leaving their seats.Charles Felix Beaudry was arraigned on an accusation of having, on the 14th of March, 1876, and on the 10th of December last, forged receipts.Plea, not guilty ; trial Monday.Mr.Loranger for the defence.John Horn was put in the dock charged with stealing articles of élothing, a saw, looking-glass, &c., from the residence of Mrs.Moiier, cormee Charlotte and St.Justin streets.The mother of the prisoner was examined, and stated that she had a very bad opinion of the house kept by the woman Morir, adding that she would not believe her on oath.The stolen goods were found at the prisoner\u2019s residence, but this was explained by another witness, a brother-in-law of the accused, who swore that he had seen a young man entering Horn\u2019s house with a bundle of clothes, a looking glass, &ec., and after depositing théin in a room, immediately eft.Mr.Mousseau characterized the last witness\u2019s story as ridiculous, as.did also His Honor.The prisoner felt his position, and shed tears.A verdict of guilty was given by the jury without leaving the box.\u2019 Patrick Monday was tried on a charge of stealing, on the 22nd March last, a pair of horses and sleigh, the property of Toussaint Romillard and David Monette, of St.Philippe.The prisoner had volunteered to hold the horses on St.Maurice street, near the American House, while the owner went into the hotel.On returning to the street the latter found the horses gone, and gave chase, coming up with accused at Bonsecours Market, when the prisoner gave up the reins immediately, and said he had not been able to stop the horses.The jury could not agree and were locked up.The Court then adjourned to 2 p.m.Special Notices.A CONVERSAZIONE will be held in aid of the funds of St.Thomas\u2019 Church on Friday evening next, the 6h inst., in the basement hall of the church.New Advertisements this p.m, ALE OF VERY ELEGANT HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE, CARPETS, CURTAINS, MIRRORS, CROCKERY, GLASSWARE, PICTURES, &c.&o.1am instructed to sell at the Parsons, Esq., 25 Bruns wick sére.Monday Next, the 9th instant, the very neat Household Furniture, fine Carpets, Drawing Room Set, in Crimson and Tan of 8.R.Broche, Banner Chairs, Gilt, Fancy, Reecap- tion and Sewing Chairs, Glass-back Cabinet, Cornices, Labriquins, Lace and Rep Curtaine, Pictures, Ornaments.put Sideboard, Leather Covered Chairs to match Couch, fine Plated Tea Service, and best Cutlery, Broakfast, Dinner and Tea Services, rich cut Glassware, Fishing Rod, &c.;

subject of the judgment of the Supreme Court in the Charlevoix case, signed by all the Rowan Catholic Bishops of the Province, in your to-day\u2019s paper, one particular paragraph struck me on, which point I wished, if possible, to be enlightened.This paragraph runs namely thus:\u2014\u201cIn our pastoral of September 22nd, 1875, we said 1elative to a judgment rendered in a cause celebre: Jesus Christ, said the apostle, loved the Church, and gave Himself for it.\u201d Now, Bir, I would like to know for which particular church He has done this?I think it is rather a little pretending, for the words of our Saviour have been and are:\u2014¢ That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\u201d I remain, dear sir, yours very respectfully, ENQUIRER.Montreal Presbytery.\u2019 The quarterly meeting of this Court was opened in St.Paul's Church this morning, the Rev.J.Jenkins, D.D., Moderator, in the chair.Routine reading of minutes of former meetings being completed, a number of suggested changes in elders\u2019 commissions was adopted.The subject of the Huntingdon and Athel- stane congregations was discussed.Rev.Messrs.Black, Watson and others took part.The Court finally adopted a committee consisting of Revs.Baxter (Convener), McKerrocher, Scrimger, and Messrs.Walker and McPherson, elders.The Committee retired to take evidence, and make a report at the afternoon sederunt.\u201c The Whitby objection to the retirement fund for ministers, viz.: $100 per annum for service of 10 years, $200 for 20 years, $300 for 30 years, and $400 for 40 years next came up.The objection was to the smallness for ministers of 10 years.Rev.Mr.Black moved the objection be not sustained, which was carried.A discussion took place over the laws of the General Assembly, after which the Court took a recess, Action of Damages.To-day, before the Hon.Mr.Justice Johnson, in the Superior Court, the case of Henry B.Picken, j¢., vs.the City of Montreal and the C.P.R.washeard.The plaintiff brings action to recover $200 damages, which, he alleges, he sustained as follows :\u2014 On the evening of the 12th of September last he was driving in his carriage along St.George street and intended crossing St.Catherine street, but, owing to the state in which the street was in, the C.P.R.being engaged in excavating out the centre of the track, plaintiff was thrown from the carriage, which was smached to atoms, the horse holt- ing with the wheels alone as far as St.Lawrence Main street.Plaintiff further alleges that there were no lights or barricades to indicate the dangerous condition of the road, and that it was through the gross carelessness and negligence of defendants that he sustained damage to the amount sued for.The case was taken en delibere.Mr.L.H.Davidson for plaintif, Mr.Ivan Wother- spoon for the C.P.R., and Mr.Harnett for the city.Holiday Amusements.RopiNsoN\u2019s MINSTRELS.\u2014 Robinson's Minstrels made their first appearance last evening, in the Mechanics\u2019 Hall, to an immense audience, every available part of the ball being crowded.The toute ensemble of the entertainment was of a most superior order, and the audience was convulsed during the entire evening with laughter.The first portion of the programme comprised some beautiful new songs, which were rendered with good taste and effect.The clog dancing of Messrs.Walton, Kelly and Sadler caused a perfect furore of applause.The burlesque trapeze and the French dancing master also caused unlimited amusement, and on the whole, the entertainment is well worthy of the public support.The Minstrels perform again to-night, and tomorrow evening will be their last appearance.AcapEMY oF Music.\u2014The pantomime of ¢ Robinson Crusoe,\u201d preceded by a farce, in which Maffitt and Bartholomew also appeared, was given last evening to a densely packed house.The first piece was ire-.sistibly funny, and gave a pleasant foretaste of what was to follow in the pantomime, The burlesque is only a prelude, with a few good local \u201chits,\u201d before the pantomime proper.The latter is the good old sterling English Drury Lane pantomime, with all the old tricks that made our fathers ¢f split their sides,\u201d with many new and incomprehensible ones added.Maffitt and Bartholomew fairly revelled in making fun and provoking laughter.Miss Fiske is a most valuable acquisition.In addition to the most fascinating charms of person she is an excellent burlesque actress, and sings like a nightingale.Her reception was very flattering, and she willbe a deserved favorite.Mr.Ravel, as Harlequin, fully sustained the well-earned reputation of his family name.Miss Newcombe acquitted herself very well, and Mr.Arnold had a part to which he did justice.There were some little drawbacks incident to a first night, but these will not appear again.The theatre should be crowded every night during the week if all who love enjoyable amusement and hearty laughter attend.A STRANGE CASE.Doctors Differ.The inquest on the body of Regis Lalonde, late clerk in Morgan & Co.\u2019s store, who dled under suspicious circumstances some time since, was resumed this morning.Dr.Rottot gave the result of his analysis of the viscera of deceased.He stated that poison did not exist, and that deceased came to his death from paralysis of the heart.Dr.Laberge was of opinion that death did not arise from natural causes, and most probably was from poison.After asking some Juestions, the jury returned a verdict that deceased came to his death from paralysis of the heart.AN EXPENSIVE LAW-SUFT.A City Case Ten Years in Court\u2014 A Subject for the City Council te Ponder.The case of the City vs.the Hon.Charles | \u2018Wilson, about expropriation of property in St.Joseph street, was up this morning in the Enquete Court.Mr.Roy, City Attorney, was examined, and the matter further postponed.This case is now altogether ten years in litigation, having been through all the Courts in this country and before the Privy Councii in England.The amount involved is $5,000, and the city, we are informed, has already spent about $15,000 over law proceedings.Now that a fit of economy has overtaken the Council, would it not be well to see what could be dons in bringing the great number of law-suits to an end, and make dois provision to

Aschbishop and the seven Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church in the Province of Quebec caused an immense sensation in Parliamentary circles to-day, and the fact is generally recognized that the ecclesiastical authorities of that Province have placed themselves in direct conflict with the Supreme Court.The feeling is general that the Court will have to assert itself and, as in the case of Guibord, the ecclesiastics of Quebec will have to realize that it isafunda- mental principle of the British Constitutional system of Government that the Civil power issupremeand that to Parliament alone belongs the right of defining what shall constitute undue influence in elections.If the Bishops wished to influence the majority of the Commons in favor of any relaxation of the law, the collective pastoral will fail of attaining this object, as the general impression to-day is one of regret that Mr.Langevin has rot been disqualified, and it is an opinion \"enteriained by not a few that disqualification in 2l cases of undue priestly influence world be the only effectual way of reaching an evil which seriously threatens the independence of Parliament.Should the electoral law be amended, it is far more likely it will be made more strin- geni than relaxed.It is stated in this con- neciion thai the Lezisl-ture of Quebec, at the request of the bishops, will, at its next session, repeel all ihe clauses of provincial electoral statutes which in any way affect undne influence.A CROP OF LIBEL SUITS.The Premier has entered nine charges of libel against the Mail, and it is said he

invested with the power of dismissing employees; he had known of instances when his recommendations for promotion had been disregarded because of political exigencies.These political exigencies always interfered with the efficiency of the service during the last two years.The dismissals from the service, of which there had been several, were for intemperance.The law requiring candidates to submit to examination had been virtually a dead letter, as only 72 candidates had been examined since Confederation.He has not known of any dismissal through political partiality, nor of any one being retained in the departments after their services were not required through political favor; at least he knew of no flagrant «case of this kind.Of course the Ministers appointed their own friends to office, and the same influence which put them there would, sometimes, operate to l:eep them there.He could not soy positively, et that moment, whether anyone was iinpropetly retained who should be superannuated ; was in favor of competitive examination and increased remuneration iu the lower grades of the service.He would favor a system of promotion extending to the ouiside post olice service in every town where a man\u2019s whole time was purchascd.At present, persons from outside the Departments were sometimes appoirted over the heads of the older employees.It was sometimes requisite to go ovt of the service for men of the requisite qualificotions ; as ile service extended it became more diflicult to get qualified candidates.William White, Secretary to the Post Office Department, was then called.He did not favor competitive examinations, because it would lead to cramming, and it would be found that candidates knew more àt the time of their examination than six month\" a/terwards.The Northern Railway Committee met at 1\u20ac:20, Mr, Archibald in the chair.Mr.Cumberland\u2019s examination was con- nued.-To Mr.McCarthy\u2014 Witness thought the conversation previously referred to had been with Mr.Campbell, and if the latter had not denied it he would think so still; had City News, , \u2014 Med.Essipoff and her troupe arrived in town this morning.\u2014 The Board of

Girl.Rev.8.H.McGee, of the Ashton (IIL.) Christian Church, is in jail, charged with killing his wife to marry the daughter of one of his rich parishioners.The girl is 20, pretty, and was engaged when McGee began to pay her special attentions, and he had been in the place but a few months when he was caught kissing the girl at a camp-meeting, His wife, who had borne him two children, was much loved by the people.Latterly, she had been having mysterious attacks of illness, and a week or so ago died in spasms, one of her last acts being to throw her arms about her husband\u2019s neck and saying, * How can 1 leave you ¥\u2019 An examination reveals much strychnine in her stomach, and it is proved that the parson bought the poison of a neighboring druggist and substituted it for the powders left by the physician.Moreover, he at various times before the examination said poison might be found in the stomach ; was very anxions to bury hie wife immediately after her death, and was once heard saying to himself, \u201cI wish I had not done it.\u201d McGee is a dandified man of 86, and his attentions to the girl had broken up her previous marriage engagement, and there is no doubt but that his intention was to marry her and secure the large dowry the father was to give her.One of the peculiarities of the case is that the girl's father sides with the parson and will probably pay the expenses of his trial.Financial, STAR OFFICE, 4 p.m., | April 3, Sterling Exchange firmer, in sympathy with an advance in New Yoik, at 9% to 9} between banks ;

he is mine.Call'him } back !\u201d she shrieked.\u2018\u2018 Great.Heaven, what is this ?\u201d anewered Catherine, pale with astonishment, for directly betore her, passing\u2014as it -seemod\u2014 | backward beneath the branches of the.elm:] ree, > was her oym husband.But while the | words were on her lip, the lightning passed: by; and the man whe had appeared before her for a single moment disappeared in the | darkness.r It was an open casement at which they steod, and as the darkness closed in upen I them, Elsie leaped like a panther through the casement, and flung herself forward into | the blackness of the storm.A sharp, lang cry came back from the darkness in which | Elsie seemed to have been engulphed.Catherine stood helpless with surprise and terror, straining her-eyes to discover a trace of the maniac.But Elsie had vanished.Az flash of lightning revealed her for an instant; as-she d through its blue.gleams.be- ] neath the trees, giving her white ents and her long hair back+o the blast, and then all was dark egain.Trembling with :affright, Catherine ran down stairs, and went out in search of her | charge.The storm still raged, but mot so } furiously as it had dome, but her night robe \u2018was soon soaked, and her bare feet chilled | to marble; as they sank in the cold grass.But she took no heed of this\u2014Elsie had.- gone toward the water\u2014and she was wild with fear that in her madness the maniac { might plunge into the deep.Quick as the li ing that now snd then F revealed her way, she darted shorewnrd, calling out for Elsie as she went ; but tesror and.speed deprived her voice of all power, and she could utter the name of her charge in hoarse whispers only.As she by the residence of Mrs.| Townsend, a glareof lightning fell upon her, and through it she saw an open window | * lighted from within.That same nran was framed in the opening, whose apparition, = few minutes before, had drawn Elsie into the storm.Was it a real being?Or was it the picture which she had copied in the library?The same proportions were these ; but this picture looked human.Was it her breath- | ing husband?Or had terrer driven her mad also ?She paused a moment, with her face uplifted, wondering if she were mad or not, if the.vision were a hallucination or a reality.| The ain beat into her uplifted face, the wind blew fiercely over her thinly clad form.No wonder she seemed ghostlike to the 4 man-who saw her from the window.A voice down toward the water aroused her from this wild trance.She turned and ran toward it, calling aloud\u2014 \u201cElsie!

(To be continied:) ES A Peughkeepsie Piverce.The NN.Y.Herald suys :~\u2014 Charles Husted, éf'Pohgikespsié, the detbhdant in \u201cthe Tate duit of Husted vs.Husted, for divorce, has threatened $0 open thy\u2019 case aguity; and; À is- said, has announced his ability to prove some facts that will startle those who have taken } 4n interest in this unfortmnate domestic 00-4 currence.During: the legal proceedings Which resulted in a decree .of divorce being anted to Mra, Husted by Judge Bamard, fie defendant never put in an appearance, - änd his suspicious sullenness was construed + by outsiders at least\u2014inte an admission of Pe truth of the charges preferred by Mrs.usted.When, however, Mr.Husted came be informed what the decree of the Court .beea and how severe it wenld be on him, he appears to have realised fon.the; first time.the seriousness ef the .whole ; proceeding against him, The decree of the Ceuxt was, as will be pe- membered, first, an absolute diverce to Mrs: Husted from; her : former husband ; second, that the legal costs, amounting to $76.40, i should be paid by the defendant ; third, that Miss Cora L.Pearl, alias.Mrs.Husted, should be free to marry again the same as hough:she had never been married to Chas usted, and the same as if fhe said Husted were dead ; fourth, that it should not be Jawful for Charles Husted to marry again, gither before or after the death of his former wife, and, last but not least, that.he should y a regular stipend for the support of his ivorced wife, the amount of which and the stated time for payment, to be fixed hereafter by the Court.Mr.Husted is now in New Jersey, and it is said that he has hardly been seen in Poughkeepsie during the past year.It is how stated that he has placed his case in the hands of counsel, and that the proceedings | will probably be opened by a motion for appeal.he facts of the case, so far as they have been developed, are quite deplorable.The Jung couple were \u2018married with great eclaf June; 1874, Rev.Dr.Beecher officiating at the ceremony.Both parties came from well-to-do families ; both bride and groom Were very young, the former only seventeen and the latter having barely reached his majority.After their marriage the young ¢ouple lived for some time -at Hyde Park, | that, beautiful summer resort\u2019 overlooking the Hudson a few miles above Poughkeepsie.Their early married life, to outward appearance, was perfectly harmemous; yet if the wife's charges are true, her youthful husband began to be unfaithfal to his marriage vows less than two years after the wedding.Miss Cora Pesrl\u2014the name has -attracted curious attention as being thie same: as.that | assumed by the famous demoiselle of London and Paris, whose career is so familiar $0 | all newspaper readers\u2014is the, daughter of Henry Pearl, formerly a well-kuown \u2018horseman \u201d of Dutchess County.Her mother was the handsome Miss Fowler, of Pough- keepsie, who married Hetiry Petirl when she was but a girl of seventeen.After his death she married a Mr.Overrocker, whose wife had previously been divorced from him, eir married life was not a long ome, for the second Mrs, Overrecker, in turn, obtained a divorce and was again married to another man, who- brought her to New York, It is reported that young Mr.Husted\u2019s grounds Bor appeal will be based upon coun- ter-charges to those upon which his wife secured her divorce.4 A CHINESE DINNER.\u2014A letter from a naval officer stationed at Foochow, China, gives \u2018à friend a graphic.description of a din.her he was at at Amoy : * The other day I wes.invited to a Chinese dinner.It was a most wonderful undertaking\u2014thirty-nine courses, and sitting for three hours and a half \u2018eating with chopsticks and drinkin, saxhshee, which is a sort of wine distiiéd frem rice, bot, in small teacups.There was a great similarity ir, the dishes, the principle being pork fat and garlic.We had birds\u2019-nest soup.and sharks\u2019 fins; ducks\u2019 tongues were also ameonget the delicacies of the table.After every dish the host pledges you ina cup of samshee, and the right thing was to empty and turn the cup upside down; but in a very short time one became most expert in slipping the contents under the table\u2014a most necessary precaution, as the liquor was very strong.In the middle of dinner pipes were handed about, and during the whole entertainment the singing girls squalled, and the wind instruments bellowed hideously .\u201d\u201d dropped from Else's hand, | 4 \u201cGene!
