Together they spent $33,184 in doing what the ÆTNA is able to do for about $8,000.The $25,000 that could thus be saved to the 1907 holders of policies in the two Companies would afford them a dividend of over one- thiro off their premiums, in addition to the ZAZTNA\u2019'S urual carb dividend.Frese figures shew the importance of choosing carefully between professedly solvent Companies.Ten times as much money is lost by people cons tributing to useless and expensive Companies as is lost by the failure of Companies.No Company, carefully and economically conducted, has ever been found on the list of failures.The ETNA Lire Off, Office, Montreal.J.R.ALEXANDER, M.D., 82z City Manager.ROYAL JNSURANCE Co- OF ENGLAND.ce is opposite the new Post The subscribers beg to notify their friends and the public that they are prepared to insure in this 51d established and well-tried Company, Dwelling- h and their contents on most advantageous terms; and also coptinue tocover Mercantile Risks the most favorable rates.ROUTH & TATLEY, Chief Agents for the Dominion.HEAD OFFICE FOR CANADA, No, 64 St.Francois Xavier street.} 196% WwW.OGILVIE, President.(CITIZENS INSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA.MEY, GUARANTER, LIFE, ACOIDENT, DIRRCTORS : SIR HUGH ALLAN, President.ADOLPHE ROY- Vice-President.COR ANDREW Eyney THAN J ORNL.CASSIDY ROBERT ANDERSON.EDWARD STARK, JOHN HUTCHISON, Actuary.| Manager.HmAD OFFIGE, JAMES STBENT.- 178 BT.179 2a _ gramme - TRAE Sa SA CEA eS Safa ES A fp Pat WP GAS SN GA a mm Beam mm The Jvening Star.Vols EX.\u2026.+.00+000000000000 s0000 NO.ST- GRAHAM & CO., Proprietors.- 624 and 626 Craig Street.COMPARAITTE STATBMENT Of the CIROULATION Of Ten EVANING STAR for the week ending April 7, and the corresponding pertod of 1878 :\u2014 Apri, 1878.April, 1877, 3 MODdAY.cosees 3 855 10,056 Tuesday.3 13,898 10,2560!

\u2018The Work for Temperance Men.The Prokibitionists of the Dominion must be convinced that they have noth ng to expect from the Government, and that their champions in the House of Commons are at best but lukewarmly zealous.Meeing that Government and Parliament alike counsel the advocates of Prohibition to stay at home and labor among the voting masses, it could he well if advice so frequently given were acted upon.Thereis plenty of room for work in every community, and especially in Montreal, at the present moment, is there ample opportunity for the temperance organizations to exercise their influence.The License Commissioners are now recording applications for renewals and new permits to sell liquor.It seems to us that a careful watch should be kept upon the proceedings of this body, and steps taken to prevent any increase in the number of liquor-selling establishments.The city now offers facilities for drinking which are out of all proportion to the population, and certainly to the demands for * refreshment\u201d of the travelling public.Some of the principal streets are perfectly honeycombed with saloons, and they all appear to drive a thriving trade, activity representing no gain, but rather loss, to the community.Itis for the temperance people to protest against every application to open new saloons, and, at the same time, to prepare for a raid upon the illicit liquor traffic, which does as much, if not more, mischief than the licensed taverns.The unlicensed liquor business is carried on to an alarming extent, and under the very nose of the Revenue Department, for that matter, for the present system is one calculated to stimulate rather than prevent infraction of thelaw.If the temperance people were to devote more attention to the reduction of the number of licensed taverns, and the breaking up of the illegal liquor trade, than they do to mere declaiming against the evils of intemperance, they would achieve practical results which would in time bear legislative fruit.Unflinching, vigorens * vigilance\u201d working in the community is wanted more than lecturing, and no better commencement can be made than by examining the claims laid before the License Commissioners, Unredeemed Pledges.In the debate of Monday night on Mr.Casey\u2019s motion to refer the Anglin scandal to the Committee on Privileges and Elections there was some strong language used on both sides.Mr.Mackenzie, roused to anger by a pitiless speech of Sir John A.Macdonald, broke into a tirade which might well have been left to some humble follower to deliver from the back benches.He attacked Sir John with a bitterness betokening the depth to which the shafts of the Opposition chieftain had penetrated, and from the height of self-righteousness upon which he usually stands descended to a bullying attempt at a menace.He threatened to make, at an early day, some revelations concerning the political conduct of Sir John, and did this with the air of one whose soul rejoiced at the passession of something which promised him the means of picking a hole in the coat of his opponent.Mr.Mackenzie may have some revelations to make ; the session has been pretty full of exposures of every kind, and political life surrounded hy more of the moral garbage which makes it distasteful to men who have reputations to lose,\u2014and besides, Sir John has never pretended to being a saint.The question is \u2014 ig it desirable that the Premier shall undertake the part of a scandal-raker ?Shall the blackening of the character of the chief of the Opposition be the principal task of the head of the Government?Are there not underlings eager for promotion to whom such work may be entrusted?Has not Parlioment been sufficiently lowered in the estimation of the public without the First Minister joining in the work of mud-throw.ing?In fact it is time that the Ministers learned that the game of perpetually reviling the Opposition leaders is played out.It was all very well when the Pacific Scandal revelations had flooded the land for Reformers to lift up their voices and spare not, They then were recognized as the apostles of all that was pure in politics, and, while heavy aceusations weighed down their opponents, they had full scope for the utterance of their horror of political corruption.When they appealed to the country, they protested before men and heaven that they would be gaided by such principles as honest men could approve, and they were accorded overwhelming support because they had succeeded in creating the impression that the Conservatives were reeking with corruption and had betrayed the interests o\u201d the country.They gave the most solemn pledges to the publie, and, naturally, à poiitical millenium was expected.To say that the expectations created on the assumption of power by the Liberals have been dis- rppointed most bitierly is to state a sad truth in the mildest possible form.That faith has not been kept with the public such transactions as the Anglin printing job, the Section 15 job, the Lachine Canal job, the Norris contract job, mot to mention the Cauchon coalition, plainly evidence, and with this crop as a few outgrowths of four years grasp of power, it is not for the ¢ Reformers\u201d to prute shout the sins of the Con.gervatives and hod them up as warranty for the commission of their own.It would be better for the Premier to ke-p Lis revelations to himself, and set about carrying out some of the promises so profusely made four years ago.Instead of abusing Sir John and Dr.Tupper, it would be good work for him to establish some sort of proof that his own ideal of purity of government has been his guide, rather than the criminal glare from the scarlet sins of the Tories.Hitherto he has only argued to establish that he and his followers have done no worse than those who held power before them.This will not do.He promised, not the crimes alleged to have been perpetrated by his predecessors, but their opposite, in the practice of political virtue of the very highest order.It is for him to redeem that promise, and he cannot do it by reviling or accusing the leader of the Opposition, however heinous, the offences of that gentleman may be.A Lucky Man.Some of the evidence that hasbeen brought out in Committee relative to the loan of rails to Senator Foster by the Public Works Department is of a startling character.The ex-Senator has that persuasive sort of way about him which not only opens the Treasury at his bidding and places its lucre within his 1each, but actually unbars to him the doors of a bureau presided over by a Minister alleged to be remarkably practical and business-like.Mr, Foster, it will be remembered, had a lot of work to do on the Canada Central Railway.Contractors ordinarily buy the rails they lay down, but Mr.Foster is not an ordinary contractor, and so he did not, in carrying out this job, adhere to the beaten track.He was aware of the whereabouts of some of those steel rails (concerning which Mr.Thos.White, jr., male a few observations tothe Premier and others) and jroceeded to borrow what he regnired.Mr.Trudeau, who is deputy Minister of Public Works, related to the Committee how the builder of that magnificent highway, the Georgian Bay Branch, went about helping himself.Mr.Foster applied for a loan of rails for three months, and deposited bonds of the South Eastern Railway as security.Without waiting forany Order-in-Council authorizing the Department tomake the loan, he sent his agent; -Mr.Chaffey, took the rails without ceremony, and the officials had to go and see what he had taken, The Deputy did not know who had been sent, but he was under the impression that some one had, and from all he knew the rails had not been returned, There was no authority of any specific nature to accept the bonds as security, and, in fact, there was a perfection of looseness about the transaction which lends features of additional interest to its origi- rality, for no such transaction has ever happened before.The head of the workingstaff of the department appeared tobe almost in complete ignorance asto the nature of the arrangement by which Mr.Foster was permitted to walk off with the public property at will, and leave such security as suited him.With the rails so borrowed he was able to fulfil bis engagements ; but, in the meanwhile, all the official information that has been evoked seems to be of the most nebulous character, and there does not appear to be any provision for recouping the public for the wear and tear of the rails.Such a transaction as this cannot be characterized as other than reprehensible, and we hope that those who are responsible for it'will be made toknow that, not even to obligeJan ex-Senator, will fast and loose playing with the property of the people be permitted.Mr.Mackenzie has been much lauded as a practical man of great administrative ability, but if he goes deeper into the steel-rail business, either as a buyer in a falling market, or a lender in an over-stocked one, he will lose some of his reputation.Besides, Mr.Foster has been well enough rewarded for his party industry and activity.He has had no less than $109,000 for what he did with the Georgian Bay Branch\u2014a contract undertaken without ever having been submitted to Parliament, and a dead loss to the country in every way \u2014and he should be satisfied.A Comparison.The following statement, which is worth studying, gives the apparent surplus to stockholders for some of our banks, ac-nrd- ing to

misunderstanding which seems to have arisen on the subject.The Late Rev.Father Lequerre.At a general meeting of the Catholic Young Men\u2019s Society, held in their hall last evening, the following resolutions were adopted unanimously :\u2014 \u2018 Resolved, That this Society has heard with the deepest regret of the loss sustained by the faithful of St.Ann\u2019s Parish in the death of one of their beloved pastors, the late Rev.Father Lequerre, whom it has pleased God to call to Himself so suddenly.Resolved, also, That the members of this Society feel the deepest sympathy\" with the bereaved friends of the deceased clergyman.A Montrealer Heard From.Referring to a statement made by a contemporary, Mr.S.S.Campbell writes :\u2014 ¢ Therc seems to be an impression cireu- lated from parties in Montreal that all any creditor has to dois to find me, and, by presenting their account through a sheriff, that it would be paid instantly.Acting under this impression there has been some accounts presented, but, thus far, all have gone away with their thumbs in their mouth, and probably wiser.\u201cThere has not a dollar been paid to any creditor\u2014except what has been paid by Mr, Perkins, the assignee\u2014in the shape of dividends.\u201cI made an honest assigniment of my estate.If my wife was fortunate in having any property, I don't know why she shoul be called upon to pay my indebtedness, especially as not ene dollar o it ever belonged to my estate, nor did she reecive it as a gift from me.\u201cIt would have been very much better had the inspectors or asmynee had an interview to have arranged any misunderstandings, instead of jumping headlong into law.¢* Messrs.Shaw Bros.& Cassils, who, in fact, are the only parties who could have suffered in any transaction wherein my wife was concerned, have taken the least action, and been our friends all along.\u201cThe Witness says *others are to follow suit, but it is more than probable he will change his quarters to evade them.\u2019 \u201c1 herewith subscribe my address, where I intend to remain for the present, and should be pleased to have any of my Montreal friends call when in this city.\u201c\u2018 Meantime, Ï remain, yours truly, \u201c8.8.CAMPBELL.\u201cHotel (lover, 335 Shawmut Avenue, Boston.\u201d Music and the Drama.ACADEMY oF Music.\u2014¢ Uncle 'Fom\u2019s Cabin,\u201d frem the appearance of the theatre last evening, is destined again to have à most successful run.The applause which greeted the performance was very cordial, and the curtain at the end of each act had to be rung up, in response to the warm acclamations of those present.The Mechanics\u2019 Hall was very poorly filled last evening at the concert given by Mr.Martel on behalf of the poor of the city.We cannot, however, join with a contemporary in attributing the failure to apathy or want of taste on the part of our citizens, The real cause of the small attendance simply arose from theabsenie of proper ad vertisiuz.There is a certain class of amateur musicians who mistakingly think their namesa sufi.cient talisman to attract a crowd without the least eflort being made to let it be known they are giving a concert, and that they bave obtained the assistance of ladies and gentlemen who are, in every sense of the word, an attraction.The result is always a disastrous failure under such circum- stanees, and an injustice is not only done to our citizens, but to those who assist at the ntertainment.There is no doubt whatever that the want of success last evening is tn be attributed to this cause, and we hope it will be a salutary warning to local amateurs wha essay to amuse the public in future, Mr, Martel prepared an excellent programme and was assisted in its interpretation by Miss Hortense Villeneuve, Mr.Maltby and Mr.M, Campbell.Tt is so very lately that we noticed the singing of Miss Villeneuve that it is unnecessary for us to do more than mention that her fresh young voice was never heard to more effect than last evening, She was enthusiastically received and rapturously encored.We are glad to learn that she will commence her studies in the Paris Conservatory of Music in June next, and we look forward to her returning again to Montreal laden with high honors as a fally developed prima donne.Messrs.Maltby and Campbell were in good voice, and acquitted themselves most creditably.Mr.Martel\u2019s performance on the violin was warmly applauded.Mad.Martel presided at the pianoforte with great efficiency.In an artistic point of view, the concert was a suo.cess, and it was owing, in our opinion, to the cause we have already stated that it was not successful financially.COURT OF QUEENS BENCH.Crown Side.At the afternoon sitting Dr.Rottot was examined and testified that it was his opinion that the congestion of the brain and lungs was the result of strangulation, and that the child had been born alive.It was not impossible that the child might have been strangled before it was born.The lungs might be inflated during birth, and yet the child might be born dead.DOCTORS DIFFER.For the defence, Drs.Pelletier and Nichols were examined.The former deposed that it was possible for a child in process of birth to breathe and its lungs become inflamed.It was a difficult thing for a doctor to swear whether a child hid been born alive or dead if the body showed no marks of violence whatever.Mr.Gieenshields addressed the jury.He commenced by claiming the indulgence of the Court and jury as it was the first time he addressed a jury, He then ably reviewed the evidence, and for nearly two hours commented on the facts of the case in such a forcible and eloquent manner, as to create quite a favorable impression and secure the serious attention of the jury during his lengthy address.Mr.MacMaster, who generously allowed bis young colleague to take precedence, followed, and, with his usual ability, made a most judicious appeal tothe jury, and showed that it was impossible to find the prisoner guilty of murder.His Honor charged the jury and said the statute provides for the bringing in of a verdict of \u201chaving concealed the birth of the child,\u201d if they found her not guilty of the murder.3 At 10:30 p.m., the jury returned a verdict of \u201cNot guilty of murder, but guilty of concealing the birth of her child by secret disposition of the body.\u201d The judge sentenced the prisoner to 3 months\u2019 imprisonment.Noon Telegrams, TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE.Hotel Burned\u2014Fifty Lives Lost.New York, April 11.\u2014The

Lives.CINCINNATI, O., April T1.\u2014A St.Louis special says :\u2014 Before the engines arrived at e Southern Hotel the entire upper stories were in flames.At two o'clock thé scenes were indescribable, The windows in the upper stories were crowded with shrieking men and women, whom it seemed IMPOSSIBLE TO SAVE, and in ten minutes it had ascended the elevators and rotunda, and spread itself over the sixth floor to the under roof.This floor was occupied entirely by employees, the largest part women.Frantic men, women and children ran through the halls shrieking in a most heartrending manner, in their wild and desperate efforts to escape.The smoke was so dense in some of the halls that gas jets were extinguished, which rendered egress even to those most familiar with the building difficult.The density of the smoke drove many of the guests back into their rooms, gnd they rushed to the windows.Ladders were raised as soon as possible, and the women and children, with nothing but theirnight clothes on, were rescued.Some fainted and others sank exhausted to the ground.SOME FRIGIITFUL SCENES OCCURRED, One man who had.been occupying a window on the Walnut streot front, became desperate at the delay.He fore the sheets into strips and tied them together ; fastening this rope to the window-sill\u2014disregarding the fact that it did not reach more than twenty feet below\u2014he let himself down, hand over hand, until he had reached the end of the sheets, when he seemed to realize his position.He swung slowly to and fro, swayed by the breeze, his limbs convulsively striving to catch upon something ; THEN HE LET GO, turned round and finally struck on the stone flagging with a sickening thud ; he died soon after.Other men jumped from the fourth story windows; oue seemed not to be dangerously hurt, while the others died.A woman in the fifth story became panie- stricken, and jumped out, alighting on her feet; she is still alive; her husband tore up the bedding, and let it out of the window.To this the firemen attached a rope, which he hauled up, and, making it fast to the win- dow-sill, carefully descended by it.Wilson JUMPED FROM A FOUKTH STORY WINDOW, and was killed.Andrew Ensman and Mrs.Scott met death in the same way.The mortality among the female boarders is said to be great.There were two hundred of them, all of whom lodged in the upper story.The panic among them was perfectly terrible, and numbers jumped from the upper windows.RATE CLAXTON had a narrow escape and is unharmed.Chas.Tenan lost his life trying to save others.Philip YGerald, \u2018a boarder, was brought out alive, but crazed.There is now nothing left of the hotel except the Walnut street front, and parts of the Fourth and Fifth streets faces.\u2018lhe loss on the building and contents will be from $750,000 to $1,000,000.Insurance unknown, No accurate list of the missing can be made out yet, owing to the confusion.The loss is supposed to reach 30 or 40.City News.\u2014 Ald.McGauvran sent in his resignation as one of the Park Commissioners today.\u2014 Ollendorff has not been arrested under the warrant issued by Hon.Mr.Justice Johnson.It is said that he is at home, confined to bed by sickness.\u2014 A concert was given at Hochelaga last evening in aid of St.Mary's Episcopal Church, of which Rev.Mr.Borthwick is rector.The concert was very successful.The following ladies and gentlemen took part :-\u2014Misses Simpson, Bates, Kyle and Lloyd, Messrs.R.C.Mann, D.G.R.Mann, R.Wynne, A.Simpson and O.Kinna.\u2014 Mrs.Roy, of 199 St.Hypolite street, bad occasion to go out yesterday, and during her absence the house was robbed of $1.50 and a bottle of rye whiskey.She supposes it wassome parties working next door,as the key of that house fitted the lock in Mrs.Roy\u2019s.Fortunately a large sum that was in the house had been paid away a short time previously, or the robbers would have made a haul.RECORDER'S COURT, \u2014

depression.With financial difficulties and ruin staring us in the face\u2014trade para- lized\u2014our houses unlet\u2014depopulation of the city going steadily on and everyone forced to curtail their expenses, it beboves us to insist on our representatives applying the pruning-knife to salaries and dispensing with the services of unnecessary employees, and this can only be equitably done by adopting a per centage reduction and by a Commission of Enquiry.The appropriations should also be made to agree with the reduced revenue which is sure to take place this year, and not be based on that of last year, as it is proposed by some, 1 am glad to see that some of the new blood is beginning to tell, but 1 am sorry that the new Aldermen do not seem to be supported as they should be by the old ones in their desire for retrenchment and reform.The former should now be supported by the press and the citizens, and the latter should insist on such thorough action as will ensure us relief from our present ruinous taxation.The City Government should be conducted on the same plan as that of private individuals, and the Aldermen should be made aware that we want to live within our means\u2014 only spend what we receive \u2014 stop borrowing money and wait for further improvements till times get better.If this very necessary reform cannot be obtained otherwise, 1 would advocate mass meetings, and a courteous but firm expression of our wishes carried to the very Council doors, { and irmistedon.Our representatives should feel that they have.only been elected to represent us; and that the wishes of thc.mess of the people should.be respected.\u2014CITIZEN.\u2018April 7, 1877.| The Confliet in St.Francois Xavier .street._Xx-Judge Badgley has given a most decided opinion that the bylaw of the Regular Board of Exchange, prohibiting its members from dealing with the members of the Open Board, is against public policy and wholly unwarranted, either by the charter of the Board or by the generrl laws regulating trade.- Hestates that it is void and of no effect whatever.Navigation Opening.Since yesterday there has been à succession of \u201c\u2018shoves\u2019\u201d\u2019 of the ice on the river, and this afternoon one would think there had been an upheavel from below.The ice-be- tween the wharves and the island bas assumed the form of little peaks, and, with the constantly increasing volume of rising water, it is only a question of a few hours to see the great ice prairie mojestically floats ing down to the sea.\u2018 Near the entrance to the Victoria Bridge, on the Montreal side, there was a mass of ice thrown up on the G.T.track which considerably damaged the semaphore fixings.Apprehensions are entertained that the rising water will interfere with the work on the canal.THE PILGRIMAGE.Departare of the Canadian Palmers\u2014 Serviee at the Cathedral.The ceremonies attending the departure of the Canadian pilgrims, who proceed to Rome to lay their homage at the feet of His Holiness Pius 1X., on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his consecration as bishop, took place this afternoon, at two o'clock, at the Roman Catholic Cathedral.The services in the church were of an impressive character.Among those present were : Bishops Racine, Sherbrooke ; Fabre, Montreal ; Langevin, Rimouski ; Raymond, St.Hyacinthe ; Rev.Canons Moreau, Langevin and Legrin, and Messrs.O'Dowd, Beaudry, Labelle (St.Jerome) Tasse and others, besides the Direc tor of the Christian Brothers, the scholars of the Academy and the Band of the Christian Brothers, Union Catholique, the Chevalier Le Febvre de Bellefeuille and Chevalier Alfnd Prendergast, who forwarded addresses to the Pope.The Benediction was pronounced by Bish Fabre, Racine and Moreau, who also delivered addresses.On the conclusion of the ceremony, the phgrims, accompanied by the immense crowd that filled the church, proceeded to the Bonaventure Depot, heade by the brass band of the Christian Brothers, 27 strong, playing ¢ Vincennes.\u201d The streets on the way to the station were lined with people, and the depot platform was speedily crowded.Dur ing the wait the band played a variety of airs.The usual leave-taking scenes were enacted\u2014hands were wrung and lips kissed and there was moisture in many pn eye.Prompt on time the conductor gave the signal, and the long train moved out.A few tried to get up a cheer, but the hearts of most seemed too full for shouting, and so the pilgrims left Montreal.Bon voyage\u2019 § COMMERCIAL, Customs Receipts to-day, $8,832.45.Inland Revenue,

Margaret Dillon, thought she had abused the young gentleman's kindness by her want of panctuality.Louis, we must remark, had mat her in his searches after thelost Louisa, and, as he was generosity itself, seeing she wae in want, he relieved her in a way that would not wound her feeling of honest and industrious independence.\u201cDo ye see, gintlemen,\u201d said the good creature, blushing, \u201cI've been away from heme a bit, looking after a darlint of a little boy as is precious to me as my own fleshand bloed, though he isa gintleman now intirely \u2014for all he was born side by side wid Terry in the workhouse\u2014more blame to them as sent his poor mother there.\u201d .«There was something in the matter of this speech that made the brothers start.Their o%n minds had been so occupied with recollections of the workhouse that the subject had brought upon them so suddenly, and from this unexpeeted source, seemed like a revelation.«Of what child do you speak ?\u201d inquired George, while Louis stood with -his eyes wildly fixed upon her.¢ Why, of me own little nursling, to be sure, as was born the week arter little Terry, and took the bit and sup wid him, side by side, arter his poor dead mother was took out-of the ward.\" \u201cAnd how old is little Terry!\u201d asked Leuis, abruptly.\u201cHow old is little Terry?I can tell ye to a day, yer honors,\" said the washerwoman, counting the plump fingers of one hand, * which she held up with the thumb protruding.\u201cD'ye see these?Just add two months and ten days to that same, and ye have little Terry all to nothing, yer henors.\u201d The young men turned their eyes from the plump hand, and gazed with a sart of awe upon each other.A rapid calculation ran through the mind of each.Mary Margaret had pointed out the day upon which Louisa\u2019s letter was dated.\u2018 And what became of the mother, that her little boy should have been given to you ?\u201d inquired George, almost holding his breath with anxiety.¢¢ She died, poor crathur.I see her draw the last gasp myself.She was beautifuler than any wax image.\u201d ¢\u201c And what was her name ?\u2019 asked Louis, turning pale as the question left his lips.¢¢ 1 don\u2019t well know, yer honor.Some times she muttered over one name, sometimes another, till it was hard to get the rights ofit.Besides, she never said no- thin\u2019 about herself only when she was out of her head, as ye may say, wid the pain and trouble.\u201d \u2018But you heard her mention some name, surely ¥° said Louis.\u201cYes, and more \u2019an once yer honour.Fist it was Mrs.Mirade ; then Barton; then Townsend ; and then it was Louis de Marke.That was the last word as ever left her poor lips.\u201d e brothers looked at each other again, and both grew pale as death.\u201cI thought it strange more \u2019an once, for there was two on em, and ye may well say they was both beauties a laying side by side; and when the fever was on \u2019em, this De Marke was on the tongue of one as well as t'ether.You'd a thought they both Kkyowed something about the man as bare that name.\u201d Louis de Marke drew close.to George and leaned on liis shoulder.George felt that he was trembling from head to foot, and drew him toward the sofa.\u2018¢ Let me question her,\u201d he said, in a low vaiee ; \u201cthe thinginvolves us both.\u201d Mary Margaret, who had been opening her basket while she was speaking.now turned and her eyes fell on the young men.She saw.how pale they were, aud stopped in some bewilderment.\u201c\u2018I will go,\u2019 she said, taking up her basket.¢ The old man is right ; my tongue is always too fast for my teeth.What had I to do talking of sich to young gintlemen as knows nothing about \u2019em ?\u201d \u201cStay,\u201d said George,

recover ¥\u201d\u2019 Mary Margaret sat down with the basket upon her knees.\u201c Wag it one or both ye asked?Arreh, but I wish it was both that I could tell ye of ; but I saw one poor erathur carried out in a wooden coffin, wid two breadths of cotton on her, and for all that she looked like a marble image, wid the raven blaelchair parted on her white forehead, and the lids folded so cauld-like over her eyes, that had been black agjet, and as bright as diemints.\u201d\u201d .:\u201c Black eyes !

Why, her hair was like burning gould, and her eyes\u2014the bluest bit of sky ye ever saw was nothing to \u2018em, Thin ker face, it was white as a lily wid a cast of red just in the mouth and cheeks.She looked like a born beauty, in spite of the narrow bed and checked covering, the day I was driv\u2019 out of the house; sad fel- lowed me with her great lovin\u2019 eyes all the way down the ward, as if she knew I was alk the friend to stand by her.\u201d \u201cBut you left her alive ?\u2019 said George, growing more and more excited.\u201cIn course I did !\u201d \u201cAnd had no proofs of her death after ?.\u2018 Proofs, yer honor ?What proofs could I have of her death, when she came her own self to my bome, after that, and slept in the same bed wid the childer for a whole month, t8 say nothing of the strange baby as the other poor crathur left ahint her.\u201d ¢¢ Stop !\u201d said George, starting up with a flash upon his forehead, while his whole frame quivered with excitement.\u201cBe careful what you say.A mistake in this matter would be madness to us both.Are you sure, my good woman, quite sure, that the dair.girl came forth alive from that work- hous, and that the other died there !\u201d \u201cQuite sure! if one\u2019s own blessed eyes ate to be trusted.\u201d \u201c(One ward more, Mrs.Dillon.Have you apy remembrance of a name ?Did either of these young creatures ever mention their names in your hearing ?\u2019 « They mentioned a good many names, I\u2019m thinking, especially the fair one ; but they seemed to be fever names, and to mane nothing.\u201d But among those names was that of George or Louis ever mentioned §\u2019 \u201c¢ Agin and agin, yer honors!\u201d Louis de Marke buried his face in his hands, and George walked hurriedly hack- wards and forwards.The latter made one or two efforts to speak, but broke off as if the questions at his heart were too momentous.At last he drew close to Mary Margaret, and said, in & voice, sharp with agxiety\u2014 \u201cWhere did she go from your house?ere is she now ?\u201d \"is eyes were fixed almost wildly upon her ; he trembled from head to foot.\u2018] den\u2019t know, yer honor.ap institution that pretinded to assist\u2019 females in distress, and the woman that was in #t\u2014a herd-hearted, flinty eyed crathur catirely\u2014sent her to some place in the country, and she would niver\u2014the Lord have merey on her for that same !\u2014niver, niver tell me where.\u201d \u201c \u2018\u2018 And the baby ?asked Louis, huskily.¢é The baby was carried off by a gintleman as wanted a son, and so took the- daclint to make an heir of him, and maybe a king one ofrthese days\u2014the Lord be praised ! for he was a beauty all over.\u201d \u201c George walked unsteadily to his seat, and sat down with a low groan.Her words had wrung his heart with the most bitter disappointment.\u20186 And this is all you know ?\u201d he said, faintly.Margeret laoked at him with her kind eyes, and answered that she could remember nothing more, She went to - \u201cAnd did this young person, tho tair one, I mean, did she never mention her name to you?\u201d inquired Louis, drepping his hands as with a sudden thought.\u201c1 disremember, yer honor.We called her the darling at home ; but it seemes to me that she once told my old man that her name was Catherine, or the like of that !\u201d \u2018\u201c Catherine I\" broke from the lips of both the young men, and, actusted by ome impulse, each grasped the hand of the ather and wrung it almost painfully.Mary M arose to go, That moment a servant knocked at the door.All was ready for the journey which Louis had forgotten.The brothers looked at each other in surprise, as if the ides of separation had just arisen, .«« No, I will not leave my native land till this mystery is explained,\u201d\u201d said Louis, in answer to his brother's anxious look.The servant went out, and Mary Margaret gathered up her basket and disappeared with him, leaving the brothers alone.¢¢ She lives! 1 am certain that Catherine lives!\u201d exclaimed George, sinking down upon the sofa and gazing at the pale face of his brother through a mist of joyful tears.Louis could not answer, for in his heart there was a wild struggle.Self-re- proach, regret, and a thousand tender memories of his wife struggled hard with another image that rose, spite of himself, amid these sed memories, leaving him in a state of strange excitement.At last George became more composed.\u201cNow,\u201d he said, \u2018we have the world before us.Let there be no rest till this strange story is put to the proof.\u201d Louis arose.¢1 am ready, brother.\u201d Then, with a burst of natural sorrow, which was not in the least incompatible with the feelings we have just deseribed, his eyes filled with tears, and he exclaimed with a world of regret in his voice\u2014¢* My poor wife !\u201d (To be continued.) Why, Indeed ?( Quebec Mercury.) In reference to the recent Declaration of the Roman Catholic Archbishop and Bishops apropos of the ( Liarlevoix election, we would ask how it is that questions of the character therein discussed should have lain so long dormant and burst into prominence so suddenly ?From 1776 to the Dominion Act, these discussions were unknown and unheard in this Province.And during the whole of that space the French Canadian press was distinguished for its careful abstinence from anything approaching to polemical controversy.No sooner, however, was Confederation effected than the greater part of the newspapers of this Province in the French language became filled with theological or semi-theologicalmatter, and shortly afterwards many of the Roman Catholic clergy entirely changed the tone they had previously used in regard to elections, and appeared to have suddenly discovered that their duties were exactly the contrary of what they had seemingly previously supposed to be such.We beg to repeat the enquiry, Why is.this?For it is really a more interesting question than the merits of the matter in dispute itself\u2014at least, it is more interesting to the Protestant section of the people.So rapid was the change from the former dignified neutrality of the Church in elections and political disputes to the new attitude, that many of the clergy the mselves were quite unprepared for it, and jn this city the singular anomaly was witfssed of Roman Catholic priests denouncing from the pulpit ag a calumny on their Church the very doctrine which a few weeks afterwards was affirmed by its entire Episcopate to be the teaching of the Church.The new attitude of the Bishops on these matters is defended by a amber of hypothetical cases, not one of which has actually arisen ; and it is a new thing in logic to see a general rule justified by reference to possible exceptions.No question of great importance hag agitated this country since Confederation, nor has anyattack whatever been made on the Catholic Church.The contrast, therefore, with former days, adds persistence to the enquiry.Why have these questions been mooted ! They slept since 1776.Why could they not have been suffered to sleep on ?When Upper and Lower Canada were united, and when the most constant insult was poured from the West on the Catholic Church, her pulpits in Lower Canada answered her foes only by the most affectual of rebukes\u2014that of silence.In the stormy.days of Sydenbam, Elgin amd Metcalfe, the clergy gave no sign.Why, we repeat, is it that in the calmest and quietest period of Canadian polities these pretensions, so long suppressed, are vigorously and authoritatively put forward ?Non-Catholics are assured no harm is intended them, and there is no reason to doubt the good faith of those who make the assurance, But as not much more than a decade ago the Catholic clergy prided themselves on their strict and impartial neutrality in politics, and more particularly during elections, and have now received what, practically, and according to the experience of the people of this Provinee is a new light upon that subject to many, non-Roman Catholics will fear that, possibly, another new light may dawn in the future which will entirely reverse the amicable sentiments now.expressed towards them.We will conclude as we commenced by the query : Why has this matter been mooted at all?Up to the Union Act Great Britain controlled the Legislature of this Province ; during the Union Act Western Canada created a balance of force ; in all those days the pulpit professed nemtrality.Why is the change ?SCIENCE.French chemists who have recently examined the composition of the mistletoe state that it differs materially from that of the tree it grows upon, and that it seems to live on the tree just as a plant lives in its soil.There is more potash and less lime in the mistletoe than in the supporting tree.Comet No.1, of 1877, discovered by M.Borelly, of Marseilles, on the ninth of February, was nearest the earth on the eighteenth of that month, when it was about twenty-five millions of miles off, or about the distance of the planet Venus when nearest.The comet wes scarcely bright enough at any time to be seen without a telescope.An unusually fine specimen of the anaconda has just been acquired by the Zoolo gical Society of London.It is believed to be over twenty feet long, but there is much difficulty in accurately measuring these huge serpents when alive.It was put in a compartment with an East Indian python, but great doubt is entertained as to how long they will live together in harmony.Salicylic acid which, a few years ago, was only known as a curiosity, obtained in small quantities from the oil of wintergreen and leaves of the willow, is now made on a large seale artificially from carbolic acid, and is being largely used in surgery and thearts.It prevents the decaying of meats, the curdling of milk, the musting of wine, and the putrefaction of wounds, and destroys the fungus growth in beer, and the living organisms that make drinking water unhealthy.Mud obtained from the bottom of a borax lake in California was found to contain a large amount of organic matter and sodium carbonate ; besides these were found iron, alumina, lime, potash and silicic, phosphoric and boracic acids.Owing to the very large amount of soda present, it was difficult to test for boracic acid ; but this was done at last by use of Mr.Iles\u2019 glycerine test, the ordinary methods having, in this instance, fajled entirely to reveal the presence of this acid.\u2018There are probably at least one hundred thousand miles of open caverns in the sub- carboniferous limestone of the State of Kentucky.So says Professor N.S.Shaler, director of the geological survey of that State.The average thickness of this limestone is one hundred and fifty feet, and the rock channels aecessible to water measure tens of thousands of miles, Owing to these channels, the traveller may journey for 50 miles over many.parts of this limestone region in the wet season and meet with no running water.\u201d The extraordinary resistance which water offers to the transmission of electricity has been shown by experiments recently made in Germany by Professor Kohlrausch, who found it to be twice as great as the resistance observed by Magnus, and one hundred and twenty times as great as that obtained by Pouillet.Professor Kohlrausch experimented with water which had been twice distilled, and to give an idea of its low conductivity, he states that a column, of this water one millimetre (nearly a fourth of an inch) long offers greater resistance than a copper wire of the same section reaching from the earth to the moon and back.A correspondent of the English Mechanic insists that musical sounds stimulate the growth of plants.He gives an instance in int.In a barren section of Portugal he built a small conservatory, and endeavored to cultivate roses and other flowers under shelier, but, in spite of his precautions and industry, they did not flourish.One day he took a harmonium into the green-house, and played for several hours, The practice he maintained for several months, and was surprised to see a gradual but rapid recovery of health on the part of his plants.He attributes their improvement to the influence of music, and unfolds the theory that the singing of birds is conducive to vegetable life.\u2018 The microscopical study of sands and clays in Great Britain has proved more instructive than was anticipated.It reveals the inter- erting fact that the British sandstones consist largely of grains derived from granitic rocks, and these grains, instead of being rounded by wearing, like the blown sands of the desert, are as angular and sharp as if they came directly trom decomposed grauite.The finer sands are quite as angular as the grains which make up the coarser sandstones, and this indicates that the smmller particles were not formed by the wearing away of larger ones, but must have been separated from the latter by the action of currents of water.These investigations have been made by Mr.H.C.Sorby, F.R.S, president of the Royal Microscopical Society, who is hopeful that the microscope may be made very useful in the geological study of loose sands, muds and clays.Some interesting features of the water: courses which extend from the central ramge of highlands on Long Island southward to the sea are discussed by Mr.Elias Lewis, jr., in the last number of the American Journal of Science and Arts.These water-courses are very numerous, there being about thirty of them between East New York and River- head, which are fifty miles apart.Their trend is a little west of south, and they are remarkable for having steep or abrupt westerly banks, while their eastern banks are gently sloping declivities.These long slopes show that the axis of each stream was once from several rods to a fourth of a mite east of where the deepest part of the valley now is ; while the westerly banks have been woin away by the streams, and «till remain steep, although the process of erosion has ceased.Thus each valley indicates that its stream has been thrown mainly against the west side ; and the cause assigned for this occurrence is the rotation of the earth acting upon the southward flowing currents of water.\u2018The bank upon the west side of the stream is continually driven against it (by the eastward movement ot the earth), in consequence of which the bank is abraded by the current and worn away.\u201d Latest Mail News.AMERICAN.The Brooklyn Roman Catholic Cathedral, on which work has been begun again, will cost $2,000,000.An Armstrong breech-loading gun, weighing a little over 39 tons, and which is by far the largest breech-loader hitherto constructed in that country, was recently completed in England.The gun is construced upon the coil system, is of 12-inch calibre, and the breech mechanism follows generally the French pattern.It may be mentioned as an interesting fact that the inscription on the humble monument which marks the resting-place of the victims of the Mountain Meadow massacre in 1857, reads ¢ Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord.\u201d Twenty years after the event the chief actor in the crime was shot, by order of the law, on the very scene of the tragedy.The expedients which are resorted to in Maine for getting a drop of something to drink are rather lively, On Saturday last, in Portland, the sheriffs seized a lot of eggs which some ingenious person had emptied and refilled with whiskey.These odd receptacles of old Bourbon were meeting with a ready sale at $1.80 per dozen\u2014fifteen cents a drink, and a mighty small drink at that.The Presidential worry is not quite over yet.The trouble is that Mr.and Mrs.Hayes walk to church! This is what the New York Post says of it : ¢ We have heard comments made on the fact that the President and Mrs.Hayes walk to church.It is said by these friendly critics that the chief magistrate and the first lady in the land, as the phrase goes, should ride to churck in a carriage.We should say, however, that the President is ip a position where he can do precisely as he thinks best, and, moreover, 1t seems to us peculiarly fitting that he and his wife should walk to church, if the cir cumstances make it convenient.The Presi dent is the temporary servant of the people rot an hereditary ruler ;

but the most approved accounts | state that as some Coans were fishing, ver- tain strangers from Miletus bought whatever should be in the mets without seeing it.When the nets were drawn in they were found to contain a golden tripod which len, as she sailed from Troy, is supposed to have thrown there.A dispute arose between the fishermen and the strangers as to whom it belonged, and as they could not agree, they took it to the Temple of Apollo and consulted the priestess as to what should be done with it.be given to the wisest man in Greece ; and it was accordingly sent to Bias, who declared that Thales was wiser, and sent it to him.Thales sent it to another one, and so on, until it had passed through the hands of all the men, distinguished afterward by the title of the \u2018\u2018Seven Wise Men,\u201d and as each one claimed that the other was wiser than he, it was finally sent to the Temple of Apollo, where it still remains, to teach the lesson that the wisest are the most distrustful of their wisdom, Tasso\u2019s conversation was neither gay nor brilliant.Danton was either taciturn or satirical.Gray seldom talked or smiled.Butler was sullen and biting.Hogarth and Smith were very absent-minded in company.Milton was unsociable, and even irritable when pressed into conversation, Kirwan, though copious and eloquent in public.addresses, was meagre and dull in collocquial discourse.La Fontaine appeared heavy, coarse, and stupid; he could not speak and describe what he had just seen ; but then he was the model of poetry.Chaucer's silence was more agreeable than his conversation.Dryden's conversation was slow and dull, his humor saturnine and reserved.Corneille, in conversation, was so insipid that he never failed of wearying ; he did not even speak correct- 1y the language of which he was such a master.Ben Jonson used to sit silent in comyany, and drink his wine and their witticisms.Southey was stiff, sedate, and wrapped up in asceticism.Addison was good company with his intimate friends, but in mixed company he preserved his dignity by a reserved silence.Fox in conversation never fagged ; his animation and vatiety were inexhaustible.Dr.Bently was loquacious ; so also was Grotius.Goldsmith \u20ac\u2018 wrote like an angel and talked like poor Poll.\u201d Burke was entertaining, enthusiastic, and interesting in conversation.Curran was a convivial life.Leigh Hunt was ¢ like a pleasant stream\u2019\u2019 in conversation.Carlyle doubts, objects, and constantly demurs.She said it must | MISCELLANEOUS.There are now cight towns in France, exclusive of Paris, which have a population of 100,000.These eight towns have not, however, collectively a population equal to that of Paris, which slightly exceeds 2,000,000.The names of these towns and their populations are: Lyons, 342,800;

but, if he has common-sense, and something friendly in his behavior, it conciliates men\u2019s minds more than the brightest talents without this disposition ; and when a man of such a turn comes to old age, he is almost sure to be treated with respect.It is true, indeed, that we should not dissemble and flatter in company ; but a man may be veryagreeable, strictly consistent with truth and sineerity, by a prudent silence where he cannot concur, and a pleasing assent where he can.Now and then you meet with a person so exactly formed to please that he will gain upon evervone that hears or beholds him.This disposition is not merely the gift of nature, but frequently the effect of much knowledge of the world, and thorough command over passion and prejudice.J AYE ASSOCIATION OF SCOTLAND.(ESTABLISHED 1838.)
