Societies.The Rev.Walter Windeyer delivered a very interesting lecture upon the above subject in the Natural History Society\u2019s Hall last evening to a full audience, In the course of his remarks he said that from the very nature of Lis subject it was difficult to obtsin accurate knowledge of it, but yet the secrets, like murder, vould be out.The lecturer classed secret societies under the head of religious, military, scientific, civil and political ; but the lines of division between them were not very strictly defined, as they frequently combined several subjects.He ranged secret societies under the broad and comprehensive heads of religious and political.Religious secret societies had existed from the most ancient times, dating their origin from the decay of true religious .knowledge among the descendants of Noah.Political secret societies have existed in almost every kingdom and estate in the world, but England had been less troubled with them than any other country.The earliest religious secret socicties imparted instruction in art and science, the earliest of these existing in Egypt, of which the grand old pyramids were noble relics.The lecturer then entered into a long and particular description of the rites by which candidates were initiated into the mysteries of those religious systems, the.secrets of which were for ages so carefully guarded by a devoted priesthood.The lecturer, in his peroration, made a very complimentary reference to the great secret society of modern times\u2014that of the Free and Accepted Masons.A storm of applause greeted the orator as he sat down.The Rond Committee.This Committee met last evening ; Ald.Taylor occupied the chair, Laurent, Robert, Gauthier and Chausse were present.The new plan for the St.Marys

ground that the latter were only repairing what they had destroyed, was referred to the City Attorney and City Surveyor.An application from Mr.J.Skeith for a sidewalk was not entertained, there being no funds.An offer from Mr.B.Backer, to put stencil plate street names on the street lamps, and one from H.Rogat, to furnish the same on glass, were referred to the City Surveyor, to report thereon.A letter from Robert Parker, asking to be refunded his deposit, and to be paid for the work done by him, was deferred till the next meeting, A letter from Messrs.Curran & Coyle on behalf of M, Feron, claiming damage on account of bad drainage of St.Antoine street, and flooding of his cellar, was referred to the City Attorney.À letter from the Hon, J, Young, requesting a joint committee to be formed for the purpose of making some arrangement for the widening of the east end of Common street, and other improvements, was referred to the special committee appointed for that purpose.À letter from A.Dubord, requesting that Inspector street be opened through from St.Antoine street to Lagauchetiere street was laid on the table, the improvement in question having previously been laid down on the plan for that Ward.Alderman Laurent reported that he having been appointed a sub-committee to examine a ciaim of Mr.Lochead for land taken from him in 1871 on Drummond street,stated that that gentleman had agreed to take 90 cents per foot, as he had sold the land for that price.The matter was left over fora larger meeting.A claim of damages from H.R.Mol.son, caused by the raising of the level of the sidewalk in front of his offices, St.Mary street, was referred to the City Attorney.A claim of from Mr, A, Burke, by the flooding of his cellar, was referred to the City Surveyor, to settle on the advice of the Genet to experiment on keeping the Cham.City Attorney, The City Surveyor informed the Committee that as the appropriations were now exhausted, he should like the Committee to authorize him to go on with the work, or else he would have to discharge the forces, and it was decided that the City Surveyor wait upon the Finance Committee and see if they will grant funds for that purpose, and if so to proceed with the work as usual, the amount required being about $8,000.There being no more business the meeting adjourned.Principal Dawson on the Last Earthquake, At the meeting of the Natural History Society Monday evenin » Principal Dawson, LL D, read a paper on the «6 Last Earthquake,\u201d from which we take the following extracts :\u2014 The earthquake of the present month was probably the most considerable since 1871.It occurred at Montreal, at 10 minutes before two en the morning of Sunday, Novem - ber 4th.At Montreal there was only one distinet shock, preceded by thejasual rumbling noise, and sufficiently severe to be distinctly felt, and to shake windows?sashes and other loose objects, causing them to vibrate for several seconds.In so far as the published reports give information, the shock would seem tohave been limited to the area along the river St.Lawrence, extending from near Three Rivers on the east to Kingston on the west, and in a direction transverse to the St.Lawrence from Ottawa to the southern part of New England.Ina Paper prepared for the American Journal of Science by Prof, Rockwood, of Princeton, he defines the area in question as that of \u201can irregular trapezium whose angles are marked by Pembroke, Ont., Thres Rivers, P.Q., Hartford, Conn., and Auburn, N, Y., and which is ome 200 miles on its northern and southern sides, about 300 miles on the eastern side and 175 on the western.\u201d So far as can be learned from the reports, the shock seems to have been most severely felt on the north side of the valley of the St, Lawrence and about Lake Champlain, or may be said to have had its centre in the Adirondack and Green Mountain region.In the notice of Canadian earthquakes in 1860, I mentioned that it had been observed that the greatest and most frequent shocks bave occurred little after the middle and toward the close of cach century, We are now approaching the latter period, so that possibly the last shock maj be the begin- ging of a series of similar phenomena.Since, however, there is no known reason for this kind of periodicity, it may be a merely accidental coincidence, or may depend on some cycle of about halfa century.Of seventy-eight recorded Canadian earthquakes, fifteen or nearly one-fifth occurred in November ; forty, or more than half of the total number, in the third of the year, extending from January to October inclusive, The published catalogues show that similar ratios have been observed elsewhere, at least in the Northern hemisphere.In some earthquakes a low stats of the barometer has been observed, as if a diminution of atmospheric pressure was connected with the movements of the crust-pro- ducing geismic vibrations.This we can readily understand if a low state of the barometer should prevail over an area of the crust tending to rise simultaneously with a high pressure over a sinking area.In this case a state of previous tension might terminate in a rent of the crust causing vibration.In the present case no very decided indication of such a cause appears, at least in so far as this part of the St.Lawrence Valley is concerned.Mr.McLeod informs me that the mean barometer for the week preceding the earthquake was 29.7564, and for the following week 30.0864, The barometer on the Friday before the earthquake at 8 p.m.was 29.115, the lowest observed since March last; but at 1.60 a.m.on Sunday it was about 29,967, which is very near the mean of November, 1876, and also a little above the mean barometer of the place for the whole year ; and on Sunday afternoon it rose to 30.200.It would thus appear that the earthquake was preceded by a low state of the barometer, and followed by one unusually high for the season, and this rapid fluctuation was accompanied with much atmospheric disturbance in the region of the lakes and the St.Lawrence Valley.The weather map issued by the War Department at Washington for Sunday morning, Nov.4th, showsa low barometer in the Gulf of St.Lawrence and a high barometer in the Middle Stats\u2014 the area of the earthquake being about half way between the extremes.In previous connection with earthquakes it has been observed that the greatest intensity ofthe shocks appeared near the junction of the Laurentian with the Silurian formations.This would be a natural consequence either of the propagation of vibrations upwards from deep underlying regions through the Laurentian rocks, or from the overlying sedimentary rocks towards these older rocks.In the case of the reeent earthquake this appears to have applied chiefly to the border of the Laurentians extending round by the Ottawa and Kingston to the Adirondacks, as if a wave propagated through the Silurian formations had broken against the southern and eastern sides of the Laurentian region, Presbyterian Missionary Meeting, A highly-respectable and intelligent assembly of ladies and gentlemen met in Erskine Church last evening, St.Catherine street, upon the occasion of the first meeting of à series of anniversary missionary meetings to be held in that church.Mr.James Croil filled the chair, and on the platform sat Rev.Messrs.Jenkins, Ourier, Wright, Black, Scrimger, R.Campbell, R.Laing, S.Stabhs, Warden, Baxter, Wilson, Dr.Cochrane, of Brantford ; J.M.King, of Toronto, and Messrs.Mackay and Dram- mond, The bymn ¢ We Praise Thee, O Lord,\u201d having been sung, the Chairman opened the meeting with a brief address.He said that arrangements had been made to held three consecutive mestings, the present one and two others upon the following two days.He remarked that they were under obligations to the French Canadians, to whom it was their duty to give the true Gospel.The time had been when had the French Canadians not been loyal, this country would not have belonged to England to-day, and to repay them for their loyalty they were bound to preach to them a pure Gospel.He said he was no sectarian ; what he claimed for the Roman Catholics was the same liberty as for others.He claimed for them the same liberty to read and interpret the word of God as they liked.It was only the other day that some one had remarked to him that they were going to have more trouble with the Catholics.He did pot want to fight the Catholics on the 12th July; he desired to live in harmony with them.He went in for this missionary work, He quoted from a sermon of Dr, Flint at the Pan-Presbyterian Council at Edinburgh :\u2014S\u2018I trust that Protestants will never think lightly of the differences which separates them from the Church of Rome,\u201d Principal MacVicar next addressed the meeting and gave a statement of the work of the missions under the guidance of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church in Canada.Principal MacVicar then detailed the work of the missions conducted by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, through a Board annually appointed.It had, according to its last report, 40 missionaries working at 25 mission centres, The total expenditure during the year was $37,000, including all sun's paid out for buildings and salaries for mis.gionaries, The income has been derived from various sources and includes a bequest for $10,000 by the late Mr.Hall, of Pete:boro, and also a bequest of $1,000 from a friend in Ontario., The work undertaken by the missionaries is to preach, colport and teach.The speaker then referred to preaching as a divine institution and held that Christian education is good and indispensable ; that ignorance was the mother and father of superstition, ignorance and shams to the individual and to the nation.He also believed that the Press might be a mighty power for good, and that it should be free pot only to discuss secular questions, but also be the vehicle of spiritnal truths to the minds of the people.o acknowledged the excellent service the Press had rendered.The work was carried on throughout the en- ac zr Lo tire Dominion and among a French population of about a million and a quarter.According to the census of 1871 there were in the province of Ontario upwards of 75,000 French speaking people ; in New Brunswick 45,000 ; in Nova Scotia 33,000, and a large number in Prince Edward Island, New- feundland and the new Province of Manitoba.The mission work occupied such places in Quebec, Jolliette, St.Hyacinthe, Grenville, Montreal and Ottawa, where French Preshy- terian jcongregations had been organized.The Presbyterian Church had to sustain a large and increasing staff of missionaries and to aid its converts in building churches and mission houses ; all constructed in the most economical manner, some of brick, some log, some frame and one with a stone front.It bad in training a band of pious and earnest young mep, possessing culture, conviction and talent, It was an encouraging fact that no less than eight of their English students were attending Theological lecturss in French to qualify themselves to take part in the outward march of events.He then spoke of some of the reasons for prosecuting the work.Educationally, there was vast rcom for improvement, but.there was a higher motive,and as Christians, as believers in the Bible, they were bound to hold forth the word of life to all and to seek to have all base their religious beliefs and practices on the Bible and on the Bible alone, A second reason for prosecuting the work was that the weal of the entire Dominion demanded it.A nation to be strong, safe and free and prosperous must keep up the standard of intelligence and education among its people.He then drew attention to the political state of this Province.It held the balance of political power in the whole Dominion, and how this power could be used for better or fer worse.He criticised the composition of the Quebec Government, and held that any attempt on the part of any Church or ofall the Churches put together to make the State subordinate to them, to place the State under their feet, is wrong, and should be resisted to the utmost, and he also thought that they helped to do so most legitimately and most effectually by giving the p2ople the Word of God, that they mightses for themselves what He has said touching this matter, The Presbyterian Church prosecuted the work for a third reason :\u2014Because the Church of God was organized for this very purpose, and that by this means her spiritual life and\u2019growth were promoted.Finally the Lord Jesus Christ had commanded them to preach the Gospel to every living creature.He concluded by stating, that he believed that, this was the purposs and high resolve of the whole Church, and that by the help of Divine grace she would carry oa this work to still greater success, and to a final and glorious triumph.The Rev, Mr.Chiniquy also spoke of his missionary work, and was followed by Rev.J.M.King, of Toronto, who, in the course of his remarks congratulated them on the number and representative capacity of this the first meeting of the series.He thoughtit was a great success, and only wished Dr.MacVicar's statement would be repeated in Toronto.In Ontario the deepest interest existed for these missions and especially for the converts from the Church of Kome, They also had their nominal Protestants to whom one creed was as good as another, but the heart of the Protestant church in the Upper Province was sound.Dr.Jenkins having said a few words in conclusion, a hymn was sung and the meeting closed with the Benediction.Canadian National Society.The meeting of this Society held last evening in the Mechanics\u2019 Hall was very well attended.Mr, Corristine acted as chairman, and said it was an adjourned meeting to consider the constitution.He proceeded to announce that the objects of the Society shall be : \u2014 (1.) The maintenance of a truly National Canadian Scciety, composed of all those who desire to promote a spirit of harmony and mutual confidence, and to foster the sentiment of Canadian patriotism among all classes of our people, irrespective of their political associations, their national origin or their religion.Mr.Robillard moved to amend the resolution by inserting the words \u2018\u2018and other\u201d between the words \u201c political\u201d and ¢¢ associations,\u201d so that all associations should be included.Mr.Thomas White, jr., moved that the word ¢ National \u2019\u2019 be struck out ; the simple words * Canadian Society\u201d were enough.Mr.Sinclair seconded the amendment.Mr.Macmaster said he had not expected any controversy on the subject, and contended that the object of the amendment was to emasculate the object of the Association.He endeavored to show the impassibility of always remaining at the apron.strings of the mother country, as a time would come when this country must take a different stand from the place now oceu- pied by her toward the mother country today.He did not advocate a change, but circumstances would bring it about, and Canada would rise to the dignity of sharing à place with the mother country.If it were a plank in the constitution to have Canada independent at once, he would not be a member of it ; but there would surely come a time when a different relationship would exist whether of equality separately as a nation, side by side in cordiality, or in whatever shape it might be, and it was for his hearers to bind themselves together to be ready for the destiny which would be theirs.Ald.Stephens thought this was a time to face the question fairly, There were men who tried to throw a glamour over the people, and who supposed it necessary to take the oath of allegiance every day to be loyal.He had taken the oath several times and had as much love for the mother country as anybody.The past want of Canada was a national spirit, one common ground upon which to meet our neighbors.What was loyalty in Mr.Gladstone in predicting a nationality for Canada could not be disloyalty in him (Ald.Stephens) to advocate the building up of à great nation here, to cast in their lot in friendly relations with Great Britain, and with her carry civilization everywhere.Her independence would come as surely as the sun rose, Mr, Alex, McGibbon remarked that sound principles were what the country required.The speeches he had heard did not point out what good the Society was going to do, whatever the resolution might mean.From what he could make ous they were to form a society whose ohject was to wait until something turned up of which Canada should take advantage of to profit by in some measure.If that was the idea, the Association would be a failure, because most people did not make their loyally a matter of pounds, shillings and pence, and he was one of th em.Mr.J.R.Dougall in a brief address said he had no objection to the word \u2018\u2018 National,\u201d Mr, Robillard gave it as his opinion that if clergymen preached of heaven, laymen would attend,to the more worldly affairs.Mr.Mullarky was in favor of tlie motion.Mr.Thos.White said that at the last meeting of the Society, he, in common with others, entertained the feeling that nothing should be contained in the preamble that was or could be construed to be prejudicial to the interests of British connection.What he found fault with was that no consideration was given toany except the views of those who held that the best interests of Canada could only be served by severing the connection with the mother country.The speech of Ald.Stephens had been in effect that Canada should be independent.He (Mr.W.) thought that as a loyalist his feelings should be consulted as well as those of any one in favor of independence.The word national as applied to the Association about to be formed borea deeper significance than as applied to St.Andrew\u2019s and other similar associations, savoring as it did, in his opinion, of a desire for independence, and judging from the speeches he had listened to, would have the effect of driving many people out of the Society who otherwise might remain.By leaving out the word national they would still be a Canadian Society and capable of accomplishing all that was required for Canada\u2019s good.Ald.Stephens, in reply, said it was tima to give up namby-pambyism.He did not propose to be independent next first of July, or do anything rashly or wrong.Canada must be a nation, and a grand nation.Everyone knew that must come, and if Mr.them and help to get it; if he was a politician he could stay out.After further discussion the chairman spoke against the amendment, which was eventually lost.Mr.C.P.Davidson then moved in amendment, to substitute the word Imperial fur *¢ Canadian National.\u201d He then proseeded to criticise the action of Ald.Stephens and his as:ociates as devoid of the courage which Goldwin Smith and his party possessed when they hoisted their colors, and made Canada First\u201d the first plank in their constitution.The party had failed because they made separation from the Empire the basis of their operations for Canada.He accused Ald.Stephens of harboring a desire for that ohject.Ald.Stephens denied the charge.Mr.David:on said he had his own (Ald.Stephens\u2019) words before all present in proof of the fact.The Chairman endeavored to press the nh ain motion, but Mr.Monaghan rose and seid be was loyal to Great Britain so long as Canadian interests justified it, but the moment England ; legislated \u2018against Canada\u2019s interests he would oppose her.After Mr.Trenholme had declared himself in support of the main motion, the amendment was put and lost.Mr.Keller then moved the subjoined amendment, seconded by Mr.J.F, Morris :\u2014 \u201cThat the proposed constitution be not adopted, but be referred back to the committee, with instructions to introduce clauses defining the means by which a spirit of hae.mony and mutual confidence can be pro: moted in our midst, and in what manner it is proposed to erect a common platform, round which all classes and creeds in the country can rally, and further the best way of accomplishing in a practical manner the objects sought to be attained by the formation of such a Society.\u201d Mr.Foran expressed himself against the maln motion, and, after considerable confusion, Mr.Kellar\u2019s amendment was carried by a vote of 46 to 32.THE COURTS.Porice Courr.\u2014 Before Mr.Brehaut, P.M.\u2014 Arsene Latendresse, 24, laborer, residing in Visitation street, was arrested by Detectives Arcand and Riche for stealiug $4 from MrLefebvre, The prisoner pleaded guilty and was sent to jail for 3 months.Constables Laramie and Laliberte arrested Annie Moran, age 30, of no occupation, on a charge of stealing $40 from Adolph Lamarche, ard the latter was also taken in charge for striking Annie Moran, They were both under the influence of liquor ia a house in Young street.Lamarche was fined by the Recorder, and the case of Annis Moran was continued ;

in five years those trees will be In prime bearing condition and worth from one hundred to two hundred dollars each.The annual product of such trees should average ten dollara each, giving a profit of two hundred dollars for.each lot, or ten per cent.per annum on & capital of two thousand dollars.The land between the trees can be used for raising various kinds of small fruit, currants, strawberries, &o., which are more valuable in season than even the best Fameuses which can be shipped to European markets, without any fear of competition from western growers, whose fruit is unfit for such a purpose, in consequence of the crushing and shaking incidental to long overland carriage; whilst ours can be taken fresh from our orchards and placed on board our ocean steamships without a bruise.Here ig a gigantic project which, if honestly avalled of, cannot fail to elevate the entire community from the depths of stagnation which at present engulfs it.Who cannot pay fifty cents or a dollar week.Ten cents a week extra will be charged for the care of the trees, by a practical gardener, until purchasers choose to take charge of their property themselves.Further information from Thos.F.O'Brien, at 532 St.Mary street, every morning, from nine until eleven o'clock, and at Mount Royal Vale every afternoon.Buildings of solid brick and stone can be erected for nearly one-half less than in anyother place,with free water and almost total exempt from taxation.Here is a fortune for thousands who are now wasting valuable opportunities All they want is the will.There are few who cannot pay fifty cents or à dollar a week.216 WANTED TO PURCHASE, ANTED-\u2014To Purchase, a Bil- - * liard Table, 412 x 9.Apply to Joseph Mor- eler, 50 Notre Dame gtrcet, 279 3 White was a statesman he would go in with\u2019 Purifies the Bised, Renovates and Invigsrates the Whole System, 1T8 MEDICINAL PROPERTIES ARE ALTERATIVE, TORIC, SOLVENT AND DIURCTIC.EGETIN I is made exclusively from the juices of carefully-sclected Larks, roots and herbs, and so strongly concentrated that it will effectually eradicate from tho system cvery taintof Serofas Ia, derofulcus Heamor, Tumors, ¢an- cer d'Ancerous Mtumor, Erysipelas, Salt Rheum.Canker, Fainincss at the Stomach, and all discas:3 that arise from impure blood Scintica, Inflammatory and Chronic Rbheamativm, A euralgia, Gout and Spital Com plaings, can only ba effectually cured thronzh the blood.For Uleers cud riniptive Diseases of the Skin, Puastuies, Bimpius, Blotches, Boils.Tetter, Ncaldbead und Ringworm, VEGETINE hus never failed to effect 3 permanent cure.For Pains in the Back, Kidney Complaints, Dropsy, Female Weakness, arising from internal ulceration, and uterine dis scases and Clenersà Debditity, VEGETINH acts directly upon the causes of these complaints, It invigorates and strengthens the whole system, acts upon the secretive organs, allays inflammas tion, cures ulceration and regulates the bowels.Yor Catarrh, Dyspepsia, Habitual \u20acCostiveness, Palpitation ofthe Heart, Headache, Piles, Neevousness, and Gea neral Prosiration ofthe Nervous System, no medicine has cver given such perfect satisfaction as the VEGETINE.It purifies the blood, cleanses all of the organs, and possesses a controlling power over the nervous system.The remarkable cures effected by VEGETINH have induced many physicians and apothecaries whom we know to prescribe and use itin their own families In fact, VEGETINE is the best remedy yet diss covered for the above diseases,and is the only relia ble BLOOD PURIFIER yet placed before the VEGETINE.The Doctor says: The Medicine iy go0od\u2014I XNOW IT.\u201d RocHESTER, N.Y., December, 1876, Mr, H.R.STEVENS : Dear Sir,\u2014I write this letter to inform you wha} your good medicine, VEGETINE, has done for me I wish every one having the Rheumatism could only know they could be cured by taking VEGETINE I have been one of the greatest sufferers from Rhicumatism ;

the addition of one mora anniversary would not necessarily supersede two others, A Public Service Recognised.La Minerve this morning attempts to throw cold water on the dinner to Sir A.T.Galt ; but the efforts of our contemporary, conceived in the narrowest spirit of cliguism will end precisely where they began, in its own columns.The time is no more when old washed-out incidents in the changing kaleidoscope of Canadian politics can be used with effect to ostracise any man of acknowledged honesty of purpose from the arena of publie life.These tactics are dead and our ancient contemporary had better awake to the realities of the hour.There is enough patriotism in Csnada to acknowledge and reward a public service, performed with ability and faithfulness, and those journals which would treat international questions in the same sectional spirit as their own party politics will find no response in the hearts of the people of this Dominion.It is a great mistake to assume even for a moment that the United States will not pay the award ; such an assumption is uncourteous,®and it will be time enough to discuss the point when the United States have refused to abide by the decision of the Commission, But whether they accept the award or refuse it, the Canadian Commissioner has done his duty ; and his fellow-countrymen irrespective of party, propose to signify to him their approval of his conduct, the illiberal and ungenerous remarks of La Minerve to the contrary notwithstanding, and this proposal the public sentiment fully endorses.To-day\u2019s Contest.The electors of Quebec East will be called upon to decide to-day who is to be their representative at Ottawa during the last year of the present Parliament.The friends of Mr.Laurier have put forth tremendous efforts tn ensure the return of their candidate ; the Tourangeau party, aided by a perfect galaxy of.oratorical talent and all the might of the local governmeut, are moving heaven and earth to place their man at the head of the poll.Both sides are determined to obtsin a victory at any cost ; yet neither appears quite satisfied as to the result.Quebec East being a workingmen\u2019s constituency, the patronage which attaches to the execution of public works has been made to play an important part in the canvass ; both the provincial government, which is putting up costly departmental buildings, and the federal government, which has a graving dock under way, are said to have had recourse to the usual well-understood methods of influencing voters without openly infringing the letter of the election law.The number of workmen employed on the various works now in course of construction at Quebec for the local government is said to be about six hundred.These men are for the most part voters in the eastern division ; and many of the numerous employees of the same government also reside in St.Rochs and are voters in the disputed constituency.To counteract these powerful influences, it is said that Mr.Frechette, M.P.for Levis, has been actively at work for some days past engaging laborers for the graving dock at Levis, All this certainly does not look like elevating the standard of political morality ; and the on-looker is left to choose between the attempt on ome side to \u201cinfluence\u201d voters directly from Ottawa, and on the other to effect the same purpose through the medium of the provincial administration which has shown itself only tos ready to enter into a partizan warfare.This is bad enough certainly, but if there is any truth in the circumstantial account of the raising of a corruption fund on the ministerial side which comes from Ottawa, worse is to follow.According to this mysterious revelation, a big push has been made in various places and with substantial results, Thus we are told that Montreal has raised $6,000 for the fund; Quebec, $5,000 ; Toronto, $3,000; Hamilton, $1,000; London, $1,000; St.Catharines, $2,000; Ottawa, $2,000; or some $20,000 in all, to which another $20,000 is said to have been added, from nobody knows where.The story may be taken for what it is worth ; if it is exact, the Ottawa journal deserves credit for having unravelled the whole thread of the narrative before its contemporary organs could manage to pick up a single strand.Mr.Thibaudeau is reported to have said that money must be spent or Laurier would be beaten ; and again we know that among the most active opponents of the Minister of Inland Revenue, is Mr, Ross, the same we believe who loses half a million dollars by the judgment in the Berlinguet case \u2014 money advanced to that contractor on the strength of assurances given by Mr.Langevin, when Minister of Public Works, to the effect that he would be recouped- The Quebec Telegraph accuses the Government of Mr.De Boucherville of spending money in the election, and publishes a protest said to have been made by an employee of that Government against an assessment on his salary\u2014one that, coming after so many others, he declares he cannot pay without robbing his wife and children of the necessaries of life.With all these material considerations brought prominently forward before the electors, the struggle to-day will be realistic rather thansentimental, As the decision will be reached within a few hours we shall not attempt to anticipate what the decision may be.Spotted Tail Indians are now 70 miles from the new reservation on the Missouri, The Red Cloud Indians have not made such good progress, and it is feared they will suffer from hunger before reaching the rescr.vation.Noon Telegrams.QUEBEC EAST.Both Parties Confident of Success.[SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE STAR.] Quezxc, Nov.28, 11:30 a.m.\u2014Voting is going on briskly, both sides being confident of success, but at this hour it is impossible to say which is ahead, both sides claiming a majority.THE WAR.Great Battle Proceeding.LoxpoN, Nov.28.\u2014A despatch from Bucharest says a great battle is proceeding in the direction of Piergos.South Carolina Legislatare.New York, Nov, 28.\u2014The Times Columbia special says the South Carolina Legislature essembled yesterday, when the resignation of the Republican Senators was announced.The Paris Exposition.New York, Nov.28.\u2014A Washin special wo the Tribune says friends of the Paris Exposition Bill in the House are becoming alarmed about its passage in the Senate.The \u2018\u2018 Huron \u201d Disaster.WASHINGTON, Nov.28.\u2014Statements by officers of the \u2018\u201c\u201c Huron \u201d show that Captain Ryan went to sea on his own responsibility with the concurrencefof nearly all his officers, only one of whom seems to have uttered a warning that storm signals might well be heeded.President MacMahon and the Senate New York, Nov.27.\u2014The Herald's cable special says MacMahon yesterday received a delegatien from the Right in the Senate.They have assured the Marshal of the unwavering support of their party.The Marshal replied:\u2014¢¢ If the Senate is faithful to its duty, as the guardian with me of the constitution and legality, it will sustain me.I feel sure it will, If, unfortunately for the country, it should prove otherwise, our lot will be the same, and I shall know how to show you the way,\u201d = Cotton and Consols.Liverroor, Nov.28.\u2014Cotton, fair demand ;

and until the system has been brought properly under the influence of the RA CURE, perfect freedom from them cau- not be reasonably expected.It is but three years since SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE was placed before the public, but ia that short time it has found its way from Maine California, and is everywhere acknowledged by druggists and physicians to be the moat successful preparation for the thorough treatment of Catarrh ever compounded.The fact will be deemed of more importance when it is coupled with the statement that within five years over 230 different remedies for Catarrh have heen placed on sale, and to-day, with one or two exceptions, their names cannot be recalled by the best informed druggists.Advertising may succeed in forcing a few sales, but, un- lers the remedy poseess undoubted specific medical properties, it is absolutely certain to fall into merited obscurity, Fach package of SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE contains Dr.Sanford\u2019s Improved Inhaling Tube, with full directions for its ute in all cases.Price $1.00.Bold by all wholesale and retail druggists and dealers throughout the United Btates and Canada.WEEKS & POTTER, General Agents and \u2018Wholesale Druggists, Boston, Mass, VOLTAIC PLASTER IS SIMPLY WONDERFUL, KINGSTON, MINN., } April 20, 1877.I consider COLLINS\u2019 VOLTAIC PLASTER the best plaster I ever saw, and am recommending them to all.C.MCMORROW, HUME, ILE, } April 18, 1877.It has done my boy more good than allothermedicines.He now goes 10 Echool, for the first time tn three years.ELIZA JANE DUFFIELD.EMMA, ILL, } April 2, 1877.I like the one Igot well.They are the best plasters, no doubt, in the world.8.L.MCGILL.ASH GROVE,\" Mon} March 22, 1877 Accept my thanks for the good derived from the two CoL- LINS\u2019 PLASTERS Bent me some time ago.W.C.MOORE, COLLINS\u2019 YOLTAIC PLASTER for locai pains, la w numbness, and inflammation of the lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen, bowels, bladder, heart, and muscles, 1s equal to an army of doctors and acres of plants and shrubs.Price, 25 Cents.\u201c Sold by all Wholesale and Retail Druggists throughout the United States and Canada, and by WEEKS & POTTER, Proprietors, Boston, Mass.275 2awt BULIARD BALLS, REPAIRED BY ALEXANDER WILLIAMSON, 45 ST.JOSEPH STREET.281 x eod.OTICE.\u2014A SPECIALTY.\u2014 Best Oyster Stews in the city only 20c¢, at Mc- Rae\u2019s, corner of Notre Dame and McGill streets.Try them.280 3 PERSONAL \u2014Zephirin Lapierre condemned by the Police Court for assault, is pot the gentleman of that name, Merchant, of St.Paul street.239 1 For SALE, an Appropriation of $2,000.00 in the Irish Mutual Building Society.Apply to G.W.Crossan, No.7 8t.Amable street.TC LET, Lower part of Houses 211;

Thus caught-an unsus ecting prey\u2014 He leads her, on this halcyon day, In all the golden bloom of youth\u2014 Full of high hopes, chaste worth and truth, To that most sacred spot-the shrine Of bliss hymeneal, bliss divine.Sweet-tempered, cheery, frank and kind; Modest in mien, adorned* in mind\u2014 Faithful in friendship, prized by all, Now may all blessings on her fall; May constant Fortune\u2019s genial smile Their every wish and want beguile, And may their flow\u2019ry path in life Know not one thorn of care or strife !

issue to the lamented death of this highly esteemed and estimable clergyman who so long occupied a prominent place in the ministry of the Church of England in this city.The deceased was a Montrealer by birth, having been born here in 1819.His late father, Mr.Charles Bancroît, was a merchant of good standing in the city for many years.The subject of this notice received his preparatory education at the French College on College street.When 15 years of age, he went to reside with his uncle, Rev.Dr.Catler, a distinguished clergyman in Brooklyn.He prosecuted his studies with a view to taking orders at Flushing Institute, and subsequently at Columbia College, N.Y., where he graduated, The degiee of D.D, was afterwards conferred upon him by his Alma Mater.Returning to Canada, to which, like all her sons, he was patriotically attached, he was ordained deacon by Dr.Mountain, Bishop of Quebec.His first parochial duty was in Quebec-\u2014not Brooklyn, as stated by an esteemed contemporary.After a temporary absence from Canada he was appointed by the Bishop of Montreal incumbent ot St.Thomas Church.He filled the position for some time, and was then transferred ta St.Johns, Que., as rector of the parish and chaplain to the forces stationed there.In 186@he was appointed incumbent of Trinity parish, in this city.He labored zealously in his new sphere of duty, and soon succeeded in getting the present beautiful church edifice built, but he did not live to see the consummation of his heart's desire, to see it free of debt.His health becoming impaired he was reluctantly obliged to frequently go to more genial climes for its restoration.Unfortunately he derived no permanent benefit from his absence and he was compelled to resign his incumbency, about two years ago.He subsequently removed to the States, but was unable to assume ministerial duty.H~ was on a visit to a relative at the time of his death, He leaves a widow, two sons, one of whom is rector of Knowlton, P.Q, and four daughters, one of the latter being married in Brooklyn, N.Y, He was nephew of our old-fellow citizen, Mr, Coroner Jones.Dr.Bancroft was a honorary Canon of Christ Church Cathedral, Dr.Bancroft next to the venerated Dean of Montreal had more to do with building up the church in this city than any other clergyman now resident among us.He was greatly respected and esteemed not only by the members of his own congregation but by people of all denominations in the city.No doubt there will be a moyement towards getting up a monument to the deceased ; the most fitting, and one that would have been most congenial to his own feelings, if he were alive, would be to clear the church he did so much to found, of the pressing debt that rests upon it, We cannot close this notice more fittingly than in the concluding words of an obituary article in cur contemporary the Gazette : \u2014 Dr.Bancroft was a devout Christian and an earnest and devoted pastor.Hs was thoroughly imbued with a sense of the great responsibility resting upon him, and he labored earnestly and faithfully, and even when oppressed by physical exhaustion .was loth: to relax his exertions, As a preacher he was clear, simple and impressive, Without any pretence of rhetoric, there was yet an unaffected eloquence in his sermons and addresses which were winning and persuasive.The young people of his congregation epjoysd his special regard, and we believe that he had many gratifying | «vidences that bis work in Mout esl and e'sawhere wes crowned with rich frui.There ate mary to-day who will hear with unfeigned sadness that the gool man to whose faithful counsels they so Iong listened, and to whom they owed 85 much, has passed away.\u201d Hew Advertisements this pm SOME

QuEsec, Nov.28.\u2014Up to noon neither party in the Quebec East election had received any reports at their headquarters from the majority of the polling stations, so that nothing but an approximate estimate can yet be given of the number of votes so far polled.The most careful computation possible, however, up to 12 o'clock, shows a majority of about 70 votes for Laurier, with a total of about 1,150 votes polled in St.Rochs and St.Sauveur Wards.Between kalf-past one and two, fuller and more reliable statements will be obtainable, There are 29 poll-houses scattered in different parts of the division aud both candidates have hired rooms for the day closely adjacent to each poll.The representatives in each of these stations checkevery elector who enters the poll, and as a house to house canvas has been carried on for days past they believe they can form a good idea of the number of votes cast for and against their candidate.Messengers have been despatched for these reports and will have them all collected between ons and two o'clock, At some of the more important polls ninety votes have already Leen received.A large number of electors are challenged and sworn at almost every poll.The friends of Mr.Tourangeau claim that their returns show the state of the poll to be almost a tie.Their opponents boast of a much larger majerity than thataccorded them above.With the exception of a few alight scuffles this morning in the vicinity of St.Ours street everything is quiet.The B Battery is stationed under arms in Jacques Cartier Market Hall, and the Provincial Police and Water Police are in St.Sauveur.It has been raining heavily all morning and the streets are nearly a foot deep in mud and crowded with vehicles driving in every direction.State of the Poll at 2 p.m.Laurier.1076 Tourangeau., 925 jority for Laurier.151 Special Notices.TBE sele of the fine Italian Marble Stata.ary and Vases, Bronze Clocks, &c.at W.E, Shaw's store, 195 St.James street, will be continued to-morrow (Thursday) afternoon, at 2 o'clock, A portion of the finest goods in the collection yet remain for sale, Tne ¢ Montreal Public\u201d have bien particularly favored this season in the number of highly insiructive, interesting and eloquent Ieciures which have been delivered in our city, but it will be seen by advertisement that the Rev.J.F.Stevenson has still another treat in store for them to-morrow (Thursday) evening, and upon a subject altogether novel amongst us, viz, \u201cAmerican Poets and Something of Poetry,\u201d and we can fancy that in the kaleidoscope of his masterly mind, many and varied shades of tragic, sacred, historic and comic phases will be turned upon the mental vision of an interested, charmed and delighted audience.Fancy Farr.\u2014 The Fancy Fair advertised by the Ladies\u2019 Aid Society of St.Martin\u2019s Church will take place at the Mechanics\u2019 Hall on Thursday and Friday of this week, when there will be offered for sale a more than usually attractive display of articles suitable for holiday presents, comprising the latest varieties of Crewel-work, Butterfly Embroidery, also a selection of articles of Bijouterie, Fancy Baskets, Inkstands, which have been specially imported from London.A large variety of hand and but- ton-hole Boquets will be offered for sale, which will no doubt be an attraction to parties proposing to attend the St.Andrew's ball.À large portion of the floral attractions are from the conservatories of Messrs.Hauft Brothers, of New York.Prices have been marked very low, and parties making holiday purchases would do well to inspect the various tables.Lunch will be served from 1 to 3 o\u2019clock.New Advertisements to-day, \"TREMENDOUS RUSH.It needs but a visit to Carsley\u2019s to convince all whom you shouid patronize for at least part of your Dry Goods.Customers remark that it is wonderful to find our store nearly always crowded.Ask any of our customers why they give us their patronage and they will without hesitation tell you that in coming to us they are sure of getting their money\u2019s worth.All get well served, children receive as much attention as grown-up people.No distinctions made.An Astonishing Day.The number of customers who visited us yesterday really astonished us.The call for our new line of Kid Gloves was simply immense, A well-cut;

talented amateurs give some represmita.; tiocs TuE GamnL1-G DEN.-The entrance to | the gambling den carried on up-stairs in Notre Dame street by a notorious gambl:r from Toronto was from Alexis street, anl there was no passage to the place from the lower floor, the entrance t> which is ou Notre Dame street.The gentleman wh» has rented the premises, with the view of commencing the real estate business, in- i forms us that, the moment he could get the i parties out of the place, he locked it up He also assures us that, during the time they were carrying on their nefarious practices, he mentioned the matter to three policemen, with a view to having the den closed up.The implements used in the gambling are still on the premises, under lock and key.It is well known that many persons were victimized by the notorious lacklegs who carried on the concern, and who were getting bolder from day to day, until Tue STAR first referred to the kind of den that existed in the heart of the city.MysTERIOUS FIRE.\u2014About 2:25 a.m.the house of Mr.Zephirin Larocque, saloon.keeper, corner Craig and De Salaberry streets, was discovered to be on fire by the neighbors.The brigade soon ded ia extinguishing the flames.The fire appears | to have originated under the stairs in the ; Passage leading from the front door, and | from thence it spread through the westera partition right into the bar, cracking a fine pier glass and doing much damage to the furniture and fittings of the place.Tae flames also extended up stairs, and gatted and scorched most of the upper rooms.Na one was in the house at the time, as Mr.Larocque and family left by the four o'clock train last night on a visit to Cornwall, where his wife\u2019s friends reside.The interior of the house this morning presented a strange spectacle, everything having seemingly Leen turned out of its place.It is feared the building was entered by burglars, who set the place on fire to conceal the results of their misdeeds, Mr.Larocque has been telegraphed for, and a searching investigation Will be made into the case tomorrow.The building is owned by a widow, Mrs.Cowan.The loss will be between $400 pad $500 ; insured in the Royal of Eng- and.AN UneaFE BUILDING.\u2014A ball under the aurpices of Mr.Joha McDonald.Professor of Music, was to have come off Monday night in the public hall of the building known as Neison\u2019s block, situated at the eartern corner of Craig and St.Lawrence streets, Now, this structure is considered uneafe by Mr.Rouillard, building inspector, and that officer, accompanied by two policemen, accordingly waited upon Mr.Thomas Triley, the agent of the Nelson estate, and presented him with a notice requiring that the building be immediately closed and shut up to any public reunion or meeting whatever, to prevent a catastrophe, under pain of instant arrest.The document further required the frontage and interior of the building to be repaired and made secure and a certificate obtained from the Inspector of Buildings, previous to the hall being .opened to the public.No sooner, however, was the notice read by the party to whom it was presented than he tore it in fragments and flung it in the Inspector\u2019s face.Without delay Mr.Rouil- lard waited on Mayor Beaudry, the City Clerk and other officers of the Corporation at the City Hall and represented to them the facts of the case, saying that if measures were not adopted lives would be lost.The result was that the Mayor called at the Jacques Cartier poliee station and ordered the police to prevent any assembly at the hell at all.The instructions were carried out and the ball was held elsewhere.+ The Ollendorfl Case im Court.This morning Mr.F.J.Keller presented a petition before Hon.Mr, Justice Rain- ville, asking that the guardian of the effects seized be changed.!He stated the proceedings taken against Mrs.Ollendorff were contrary to law, that the bailiff had placed a person in her house to act as guardian without any authority, refusing to accept a voluntary guardian offered by her.The learned coun- eel held that the proceedings in this respect were censurable, Mr, Ivan T.Wother- spoon, on behalf of the estate, declared that the guardian offered (Mr.Cuddy), intended to sell the goods and claimed that Mrs.Ollendorff was indebted to the estate to the sum of $11,000.The Hon, Judge granted the petition.The goods will now be sold, and the guardian held responsible.Theatre Royal.\u201c Joan of Arc\" is still in the tide of success, and is as much appreciated this week by the large number of the English section of our citizens as it was last week by the French Canadians.It will be continued every night this week: Even to people who do not understand a word of French the play isinteresting.Asa spectacle it is very fine, whilst the orchestral music and chorus are exceptionally attractive.This evening the popular City Band gives its services on behalf of the chorus, whose benefit it is.To-morrow evening Miss Newcombe takes her first benefit in Montreal.The success she has achieved in her new role as the heroine in the drama, if she had no other claims upon the public, entitles her to a bumper house, but when it is considered that she has been before the patrons of the drama since the original opening of the Academy, and has always worked hard to please in whatever part was assigned to her without any public recognition \u2018whatever, whilst young actresses in their noviciate have received large benefits, her claims now should not be overlooked, and we are sure the generous people of Montreal will not overlook them.FINANCIAL.Nov, 28.The money market remains quiet but steady at former quotations for interest and discount.Sterling Exchange is dull at 8 for 60 day bills and 8} to 8} counter rates, Documentary 74.Gold drafts at par at 1.16 premium.Gold in New York 1022, Sterling Exchange in New York, 482.The following sales were made at the Reg- vlar Stock Exchange this morning:\u201470 Montreal, 163 ;

and they were soriy for the girl, with whose sweet face and gentle voice they were familiar ; but simple people have to share the fate of dead or dethroned monarchs, and the funeral knell of the old is soon forgotten in the trumpet flourish of the new.Edward Danvers Temple was determined to make a good impression on his people.The day of his taking possession was to bea fostival at Brookdale.The town band was 0 tents erected, oxen roasted whole, and ale in plenty provided for the fete.If there were those who said these preparations were not in the best taste, there were others ready to silence the detractors, and praise the literal spirit of the new comer.Everard Grantley bad charge of the arrangements, and he did his best to bring bis recently discovered relative into favor with the tenantry.He took ears to inform them there would be no change in their condition.They would find his cousin Edward as kind and cousiderate as hi cousin Eugene had been; and when the Jay arrived three was quite a crowd assembled to meet the heir of Brookdale at the station, and escort him through the old historic town.There was considerable excitement in the town itself, and the interest communicated itself even to the visitors.Every watering place has its set of loungers, who stay at the second-1ate hotels or taverns, wiite letters at the bar or in the coffee-room, read all the sporting papers, dine at the cheap ordinaries, and subsist on a mys.teriously-derived income.One of this class had for some time patronised the Sea View\u2014a hybrid -mixture of hotel and tavern, with a good deal of the London air about its bar and its barmaids.He was a strongly-built, short-haired, :quare-jawed man, of middle height, with a Newmarket style of dress, and rather too much jewellery.He was known as Mr.James Hawkins, and he was a favorite with the youth of the town, by reason of his knowledge concerning turf matters and his skill at billiards.He paid his way, and was on friendly terms with the police, and whether he was a tradesman taking a long holiday, or a man with a private income and a liking for that part of the coast, no one could have told.He stood at the coffve-room window of the Sea View when the carriages passed\u2014 the first containing a lady and gentleman in deep mourning, at both of whom he gazed with curious interest.In the second sat a fiir young man, with Everard Grantley by his side and Margaret opposite; and then came the straggling crowd of farmers, villagers and townspeople.Mr, Hawkins gave so palpable a start at sight of the fair young man, that the landlord of the Sea View, who bore him company at the window, could not refrain from making an enquiry.¢: You don\u2019t know him, do you #\u2019 ¢] fancy I have seen some of the faces before,\u201d replied Mr.Hawkins, quietly-\u2014he was rarely betrayed into surprise; \u2018but which was the heir ?\u201d ¢¢The one in the second cariiage,of course, with Miss Grantley and her brother.\u201d ¢ Was it ¥\u2019 said Mr.Hawkins, with deliberate emphasis.\u201cThen he is a very lucky fellow.How much is Brookdale worth do they say?\u201d \u2018Between seven and eight thousand a year.\u2019 \u201cThen I may as well take a walk and congratulate him, A man with that sum per annum is good enough for a second look ut.It's a long journey ; but we don\u2019t see a gentleman of that kind every day.\u201d Smiling a smile which mystified the landlord of the Sea View, Mr, Hawkins went out of the little tavern and over the southern hill, under.the glorious sunshine of that antumn afternoon.It was a dusty journey and a long one ; but dust and length made slight difference to a gentleman whose vicissitudes had taken him on foot from London to Epsom or elsewhere when the funds were low, or the inevitable outsider won the Tace, «My old friend, Gentleman George Dar- rill, in a swell carriage,\u201d mused the Sea View customer, pausing to take breath at a tiny, low-roofed hostelry, lying back a dozen yards or so from the roadside.\u2018 And Well, there's nothing certain this side of the winning-post, and I won\u2019t say it is.Bat if the new master of Brookdale is not the man who owes me some tin on the Brighton Cup, I'll give any man forty to one against everything for next year's Derby.\u201d The space in front of the tavern was lhronged by their country friends in every hue of smock, from white to slate-color, and the advent of Clarence Temple\u2019s son was the one topic discussed over the roughly-glazed blue and brown stone mugs of beer, Mr.Hawkins took up a position within earshot ;

but the Sea View customer paid little attention to the rustic hilarity, He looked at the house with an sir of incredulous amazement, and when the master of the estate appeared on the balcony in response to the cheering of his tenantry, Mr.Hawkins could scarcely believe the ewidence of his senses.\u20181 should like to hear him speak,\u201d he muttered.He had his liking gratified.Everard Grantley waved his hand for the crowd to be silent, and Clarence Temple\u2019s son advanced to the front.He made a better speech than might have been expected of hitn, for his face, though handsome, was not remarkable for intellect.\u201cYou have given me a genuine English welcome, and I thank you heartily for it,\u201d he said.*\u2018 I have come many thousand miles to live amongst you in the home of my ancestors, and I want to see the face of a friend in everyone present.It is not my fault that I have been a stranger so long, and you may test assured I shall never be a stranger again.\u201d The tenantry cheered enthusiastically,and Mr.Hawkins nodded with a grim sort of satisfaction.\u201cJ always thought there was a sort of mystery about you,\u201d he said, * but I didn\u2019t think it would lead to this.\u201d « He made à favorable impression,\u201d said a gentleman by his side.¢ How they cheer him, too ?I suppose, if he were displaced to-morrow, they would do as much for the man who took his place ?\u201d ¢ If he rewarded them in the sam: style,\u201d assented Mr.Hawkins.¢¢ There isn\u2019t much a few barrels of ale won\u2019t do, from tarning an election to getting up a revolution.Do you know the family, sir ?\u201d ¢ Very well indeed.\u201d \u201cWho was it found out that this young gentleman belonged to the place ?\u201d ¢ An agent sent out by his cousin, Ed.gene, the late possessor.\u2019 ¢ Sent out on purpose to find him 4\u201d \u201cOn the supposition that he was in existence.\u201d \u2019 ¢1 don\u2019t think I should have been in a hurry to make the discovery,\u201d observed Mr Hawkins;

Well, good afternoon, sir.\u201d \u201cGood day to you,\u2019 said Lawrence Dray- ton, courteously, and he watched the sturdy form circle slowly round the house like a soldier reconnoitring for a point of attack.1 daresay we shall meet in the course of the evening.\u201d Mr, Hawkins waved his hand as a possible affimative, and Laurence left the grounds with a thoughtful brow.He almost reproached himself for the curious string of suspicion which would weave itself together in his brain, ( To be Continued.)

but subsequent investigation before a coroner's jury proved it to be the skeleton of a cat.The inquest was held at the Central Police Station, to which the cat had been conveyed with great care, and the verdict of the jury made everybody smile save those who had indulged in all sorts of conjectures in regard to foul play, etc.Two little girls in Amesbury, Mass., were lately left in charge of an infant sister, and took it into their heads to ¢ play doctor.\u201d Having seen their mother take from the cup- hoard a vial, they followed her example, but instead of the castor-oil bottle, took one containing bedbug poison, and gave a spoonful to the little one.The mother, Mrs.Gaddas, who was employed in the kitchen, heard the child cry, and entering the room, saw the condition of things, and administered an antidote, and thus saved its life.A high-school boy, in Springfield, Mass., while walking on the street the other day, saw a bull.dog holding its head low and frothing at the mouth, apparently mad, and making straight for a five year sld boy who was playing in the street.He at once stepped up to the child, and when the dog reached him kicked it over, throttled it with one hand, and killed it with a stiek he was carrying, receiving during the struggle a bite in the wrist that left three tooth-marks, which he proceeded coolly to burn out with some matches.The child was uninjured.There died in Brooklyn recently, one Thomas Connors, who was known throughout the city of churches as the Twelve o'clock Man.\u201d Tor years past he has been in the habit of visiting the City Hall between eight and nine o\u2019clock every morning, and staying until the City Hall clock struck twelve, when he would move off at a shambling gait in the direction of his home.It is said he had an hallucination that he was to meet a mau at the City Hall at twelve o\u2019clcek who was to pay him a large sum of money which he had long owed.Connors- was fifty years old: The hull of an iron ship, loaded with coal, was recently picked up by a French man-of- war and towed to Tahiti, after rolling foreight months in the waste of waters in the South Pacific, and drifting over two thousand miles from the locality where she was abandoned.She was bound to San Francisco, and took fire from spontaneous combustion.The crew, after leaving the burning vessel, suffered terribly, being on the sea in open boats for twenty-three days before they were rescued.The captain finally reached San Francisco and made his repopt: - The wreck is said to have presented a singular appearance, the whole frame between deck-beams being distorted and twisted by the action of the fire.In the hold there were a hundred tons of ashes which were still smoldering.The name ot the ship is Ada Iredale, and it is her during the eight months she was floating about, a burning bull.TRAVEL, ADVENTURE AND NATIONAL CUSTOMS.ArricA.\u2014 Cameron\u2019s *\u2018 Across Africa says that on the death of a Urua chief it is the custom \u201c\u2018to divert the course of a stream and in its bed to dig an enormous pit, the bottom of which is then covered with living women, Af one end a woman is placed on her hands and knees; and upon her back the dead chief, covered with his beads and treasures, is seated, being supported on either side by one of his wives, while his second wife sits at his feet.The earth is then shoveled in on them, and all the women are buried alive, with the exception of the second wife, To her, custom is more merciful than.to her companions, and grant her the privilege of being killed betore the huge grave is filled in.This being completed, a number of male slaves\u2014some times forty or fifty\u2014are slaughtered, and their blood poured over the grave, after which the river is allowed to resume its course.IN IcELaND.\u2014 Men and women, masters and servan's, all inhabit the same room, - while cleanliness is not much attended to ; but poor as they are, and accustomed to great privations, they set an example of cheertul contentment.The beauty of the young girls is remarkable ; their fair hair Falls in long plaits, partially covered by a black cloth cotf, daintily worn on one side of the head, and finished at the tep with a tassel of colored silk run through asilver or steel buckle, which floats on the shoulder.It reminds the traveller of the Greek headdress ; but the blue eyes, with their sweet, benevolent expression, soon recall to his wind their Danish origin, The dress is made of the cloth woven in the country, and on festival days the bodice is gaily adorned with silver braid and velvet, while the belt and sleeves are ornamented with silver devices, beautifully chased, and often of great value.On wet and cold days the shawl becomes a useful mantilla, completely enveloping the head, and defending the wearer from the effests of the frequent storms.\u2014Chambers Journal.A SUSPECTED RACE.\u2014Gypsies have, for seven hundred years, been objects of suspicion.All sorts of romantic tales have been told about them, and an endless amount of villany, which they were only suspected of, has been attributed to them.They have been persecuted and they have been sometimes all but petted.At the present day they are viewed with more or less suspicion, been out of England ?\u201d than live in any other country.He has most remarkable that no vessel ever sighted - ewer repressive lawa aimed at them than in En land.They run rivalry with Jews ani Sco cLmen in being citizens of the world.There is rot a kingdom in Europe \u2014unless it be Laplaud\u2014 that hee not some of them, and the United States is yearly receiving more and more of this kind of immigrants.Indeed, the New World, with its great wastes, is rapidly becoming the happy hunting grounds of these vagabond tribes of wild men.There are said to be about five million of them wandering over Europe, of which number eighteen thousand are found in England and Scotland.By tans they have been set down as Egyptians, Nubians, Tartars, Silesians, Mesopctamians, Assyr- iene, Ethiopians, Moors, Armenians, Banditti, Manicheans, German Jews and, of course, the lost Ten Tribes of Israel.A STYRIAN BRIDE.\u2014A more hideous picture than that made by a Styrian bride can scarcely be imagined, Her face might have been originally pretty, but the way in which it was prepared destroyed all traces of comline:s.First hot wax was spread all over it, which, when cool, was pecled off.This was done to remove all the hair from the face, Then whiting was rubbed on till the skin looked like marble, Her eyebrows were painted jet black, her lips and a spot on each cheek painted a brilliant red.On these red spots, on her forehead, and at the corners of her mouth gilt flowers were pasted.Then over the whole powdered sugar had been snapped, which made it sparkle.as with \u201cdiamond dust.\u201d She wore pearl ear-rings, and around her neek was a string of large amber beads, three strings of roped pearls, and a curious necklace, which, we were privately told, was borrowed for the occasion.It was made of twenty-five dollar pieces, overlapping each other like scales.The usual head-dress was covered with real and artificial flowers.The finishing touch was put on in the shape of a piece of black wax, heated over the canoon till very hot, made round and flat, and then stuck between the eyes.She had been several days married when we saw her, but had never been seen by her husband.He only had gone to the mosque when the ceremony was performed, she taking no part in it.After the ceremony the bride usually stays at her father's house nine-days, during which time she sits in state, decked in her finest dress aud jewels, receiving calls from her friends.Then her joy is at an end.She must go to her hus band, take off her fine clothes, and becoms a perfect slave subject to the will of her cruel master.IN.PARIS .\u2014French cafes have character.isticsi peculiar to themselves, and not even approached by English or American eating.houses, Ome can select a quiet corner in the gayly decorated saloon, and dream away the livelong day.The airis nerve slackening.You feel perfectly at your ease.You can think of nothing to apprehend, no incursion of the police, no row.Everybody is peaceable and quiet\u2014prezerves, indeed, a sort of deferential attitude toward his neigh- bor\u2014and not oxly when he comes in, but again; when he goes out, salutes the lady superintendent, who sits enthroned in a little box-like place, superintending the delivery of drinks and making change.This.matter of saluting, as the reader knows, is a deference which every Frenchman considers due to the great man or woman who, at the particular time of his entrance or exit, may chance to be in a particular apartment, and a very pretty custom it is.The presence of a lady and that lady the wife or gister of the proprietor, probably\u2014 sanetifies the cafe, and it seems a good sort of a place after all.And it isso considered.Drinking in public places in France is not so completely separated from all respectability and refinement as it is with us.It involves none of that horrid nomenclature, \u201cslings,\u201d ¢ punches,\u201d ¢ cock tails,\u201d smashes,\u201d which carry with them all the terror and awfulness of oaths.The French have pretty names for drinks, as well as a rather pretty, poetic way of alluding to a man\u2019s inebriation, Not that this pleasantry excuses so grave a fault.But the French are a sober people, and have little absolute drunkenness to excuse.Even when intoxicated they are not quarrelsome.Of the few French people I ever saw drunk (except peasants) all were begging pardon of the owners of imaginary toes, and making various other polite concessions to the people whom they believed to be around them.And yet they drink predigiomsly.Accustomed to stimulants all their lives, they seem to require them.Strange that excessive wine-drinking should not make drunkards outright, but it does not seem to produce that effect ; and Paris, with all its luxuries ia drink, is not a dranken city.PERSONAL.Gambetta, rumor states, has just come in for a legacy of £1,000,000 sterling (25,000,- 000 francs).The Pope was photegraphed a couple of weeks agd.Three attempts were necessary, and he wrote under the portrait, ¢* My last picture,\u201d The ex-Empress Eugenie has rented fo the winter the mansion of Steep Hill, a Ventnor, occupied three years ago by the Empress of Austria, Lord Dunraven has engaged the Indians of Maccan, Nova Scotia, to build camps for himself and the Marquis of Lorne, whe will choot moose there next season, Alexander H.Stephens says that he would rather be hanged in the United States never crossed the ocean, and now feels that it is too late.There are only two red-headed men in the House of Representatives at Washington, black and brown hair predominating.Oaly two or three members ever depart from the custom of wearing.black suits, Fernando Wood aud Clarkson N.Potter having several times appeared on the floor in gray.The Dutch papers say that the age of chivalry has not passed away, and eile in proof the prowess of Colonel Vanderheyden, of the Samalangen expedition.A bullet entered his left eye, and, penetrating his palate, came out of his mouth.But he remounted his horse, led the assault, took a fort and continued to advance.Advices from Yokohama say that the Japa- name of Yuki Hato, with the customary ceremonies, on the 29th of September, He will be popularly known as Take.no-muja.The same despatch announces the appointment, October 10, of Prince Arisugawa as Marshal of the Empire of Japan, the office formerly held by the rebel Saigo.Some months ago, when Gambetta was speaking in the Assembly, Le was repeatedly interrupted by M.Tristan Lambert and some other Imperieliste, and in reply ventured a prediction, backed by a wager of Lave a chance to repeat his conduct in the next (the present) Asssembly.M.Tristan Lambert took the bet, and lost it and his election, and Gambetta has turned the money over to the poor-fund of Versailles.À staunch adherent from a distant county took up his two sons to present them to the illustrious leader of the English Tory party.¢¢ Give them a word of advice, Mr.Disraeli, on their introduction into life ;

but then began the paralysis of the muscles of the chest, so that the woman had to be kept alive by artificial inpiration ; but after nearly nine hours from the first injection the paralysis diminished, and from that 1ime the recovery was rapid, except one slight drawback, treated by anew injection, and in a fortnight she was quite well again.The remedy, says the Spectator, is a terrible one, but the disease is still more so, so that the success of any remedy will be to the public a relief; Darwin Honored in Cambridge.vA memorable évent occurred at Cambridge on Saturday last, which has given rise to much comment and surprise that such a degree of intolerance should exist in England.On that day the degree of Doctor of Civil Law was conferred upon Charles Darwin by the University on the Cam.Notwithstanding the illustrious rank which Mr.Darwin has long held in the scientific world, the clerical power has been strong enough in the governing body of the universities of : Cambridge and Oxford toprevent any honorary degree from being awarded to him heretofore.The capture of the honorary diploma for Mr, Darwin.was therefore regarded as a great victory for the anti.clerical party, and this fact has given the occasion much interest that it would not otherwise have had.Accoraingly on Saturday Mr.Darwin's friends presented themselves in great force, determined that the moral effect of a large representation of scientific and literary men present in the interest of the heretofore neglected scientist should not be wanting.Undergraduates thronged the galleries of the great.hall, and the desire to see the savant of Down was universal.When Darwin and Huxley appeared, the former robed in the scarlet gown of a doctor, tremendous and enthusiastic cheers broke forth from all parts of the building.The massive features of Darwin were immobile as stone.No one present could detect even a trace of gratification in the lines of the face or in the expression of the eyes, yet it certainly was a moment of great victory for the aged philosopher.The impressive ceremony was diversified by the usual hooting and chafing by the students, which was far worse than the uproar heard in Oxford when General Grant received a similar degree.At a critical moment in the proceedings an effigy of a monkey robed in an undergraduate\u2019s gown was lowered into the middle of the hall from the most prominent point in the gallery.This cffigy bore a legend in large letters, The Missing Link.\u201d Notwithstanding all this chaffing and laughter there was much sincere enthusiasm.In the evening Dr.Darwin was further honored with a public.dinner, but the delicate health of the savant prevented his attendance.Professor Huxley made the speech in response to the toast of Mr.Darwin\u2019s health, The event has, beyond question, created a deep and gratifying: impression among the scientific classes throughout England.NOTICES.T.JAMES BUILDING SOCIETY.\u2014N 0 TI CE .\u2014 The Non-borrowi Shareholders are hereby notified that, in virtue o the powers conferred by the new Charter of Inoor- poration of this Society, the Directors have resolved to demand a THIRD instalment of TEN PER CENT.ge Pp.c.)on the balance due by Shareholder, at the me the Charter was granted, to complete the sum of ten per cent.on the amount originally subscribed to the Capital Funds of this Society, saia inatal- ment to be payable at the Seciety's Office, No.1013 St.James street, on or before the 15th cember, 1877.(By order.)
