Determined on Second Dissolution, VERSAILLES, Decemher 8.\u2014The sittings of the Chambers to-day were interesting.It was expected that a question would be put in the Senate, affording Dufaure an opportunity of explaining his share in recent events, but both Right and Left being uncertain of the support of the Constitutional- iste, refrained from putting the question, After the sitting, the Constitutionalists held ameeting.One member declared that they must follow the Marshal up to the end, even te dissolution.Lambert De Sainte-Croix urged that the Marshal must accept a par- lismentary ministry.Batbie maintained that the Marshal had made every concession consistent with honor, and herfteforth the Constitutionalists must follow him even to voting a second dissolution.At Bocher\u2019s

and not to me only, but uato all them also that love his appearing.\u201d The crowh, he said, belonged to the insignia of royalty, Among many nations it had been a mark of distinction ; the wreath of laurel had been just as valued a prize, but what made the crown of so much importance was the associations connected with it, and the signis- cance attached to it.He referred to the distinction given by the ancient Romans to a simple wreath of grass which was conferred only on ong who had achieved the highest positions of honor.St, Paul had used the word'crown of righteousness as the emblem of all that was noble.The crown of righteousness meant eternal rest-it was Pleaven ; and the poorest and mo:t wretched in the human family was destined to wear it if he but loved God.He supposed it was the wish of everyone present to live well ; they bad come here to do homage to God, and there! was no one but would say, *¢ Let me die the death of righteousness ;\u2019 there was no one who did not want to die a Christian ; there \u2018were many, however, who through business or other reasons, put off doing what God demanded of them.There were, many people who entered God\u2019s house day by day and refused to accept God\u2019s word.Every one meant to reach heaven, and many hed their own ideas of the wayin which to aéétriplish that end.He then referred to the way this crown of righteousness\u201d was tobe gained, and said it was by following the teachings of the ¢ blessed book.\u201d The apostle said the crown would be given to all who loved God ; and he who could say he was waiting for ths advent of Christ\u2019s second coming with a happy conscience, could say -with! Paul ¢ for me thers is a crown.\u201d What asolemn thought it was to say that perhaps in a very short tim3 one would be brought into the presence of his Makér, and what a mockery it would be to suppèse that the drunkards who are to be seen daily in the police cells could welcome the coming of their earthly magistrate.Bnt let them consider that when He comes, He comek to exonerate, to pardon, to love and bless\u2018them.Those who felt that they were forgiten, thought that He could not com: too sdon.But it was not so with the unrepentent sinner.Ecstacy was in the hearts of those who felt that they were' saved, while there was no true happiness for him who doubted.St.Paul did mot doubt when he said there was a crown for him, it was no fancy.We had the word of God that Christ\u2019s bloed cleansed all sins.He closed a very earnest sermon by alluding to the necessity there was for a personal attachment to Jesus Christ, who, when he came, would be welcomed by those whe had faith and who felt that they knew Him, while many would tremble and fear at His approach.A collection was taken up as the seats were free.The choir sang several hymns very agreeably.The Rev.Mr.Sabine also officiated at the evening service.Swedenborgian.À large and very attentive audience filed the Swedenborgian Chureh last evening, to hear the lecture of Rev.A.0, Brickman, of Baltimore, on the interesting subject of .\u2018* The separation of the soul from the body, which process is commonly called death, The reception of the departed by the angels, and the subsequent judgment.\u201d The preacher repeated part of his last Sunday evening\u2019s discourse, showing that man is emphatically a spiritual being.The man proper is a spirit in the image of his Divine Creator, and the body of matter iis tlie last external covering of the spirit, which derives its life, form and.shape from the soul, or the form of the spirit.The most\u2019 external part of the soul is a spiritual body composed of spiritual substances, whilst the mate- terial body, which resembles ths spiritual body, only not being as perfect and beautiful as the férfuer, idxcomposed of material substances.The spiritual substances are stich ag form the will, with all its atfec- tions; inelinations and desires, and the wnder- standing, with all its ideas, thoughts and intelligence.The spirit is not subject to the laws of space and iime, and as such is life in comparison to the material body, which is of itself dead.Matter is substance subjected to the laws of space and time, and can be measured ; not so spirit, which is only \u2018subject to the laws of state or condition.Man lives from the beginning of his existence in two bodies\u2014a spiritual and a material one.In death he casts the material body off and enters the spiritual world in his spiritual body, leaving notbing behind, but simply a dead external house which served him for his existence in the l&west sphere of God\u2019s creation.Death is thé gate to life.The eternal world is the real, in fact, the only true world, much more real than this material world.There God and his angels are now, and there we are destined to live forever.Thera has not been à single human being on earth which is not now living in thet world It?is an immense world, much mbré real than this world, and embracing all who have died since the beginning of creation.When man dies he falls first into\u201d a gentle sleep, out of which he wakes soon afterwards.This differs with different persons; Some wake up soon, some later, according to the disease of which they die.Those who are beheaded-or die a violent death arrive there immediately.Usually the heart ceases to beat at once with every one who dies, but there is still some imperceptible motion, which often: does not cease: for hours.When the heart and lungs cease to operate, the spirit becomes emancipated from its material prison.In this loosening of the spirit from its material house, the angels assist man, and when the spiritual eyes ere opened the de- ceasetl is made conscious of his being in the gpiritual world.He is taught that it is the spiritual body in which he lives, according to Paul who teaches, ¢ There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body.\u201d Man lebves nothing behind but the natural body, He.takes with him his affections, his intelligence, his memory and all his senses, because they belong to the spiritual: body.Instead of being directed outward to the material body, they are now directed inward te the spiritual body and world.He sees, feels, hears, as in this world, the objects of the spiritual world which are spiritual.Thus man arrives there a full man.The world- he- enters is not in-space or time, bur as much above, or directly different from it, as the spirit is from matter.It is within and yet above the mundane sphere, The material\u2019 world is, so to speak, a cloud or cover over it as the sound of words is a cover over the thoughts and affections of the mind.The speaker then described the kind offices of the angels which was very touching, Next he came to the judgment which follows every man, It was done by the opening of the internal memory, which is the book of life, In this is written all that man has done.If he has notrepented, and removed his evils, they are szen in this book of life.Ifa man\u2019s character is 8) formed that he loves goodness more than evil, then his spiritual mind-vessels, in which his evils residr, are closed up by the Lord and the good in him constitutes his real life, and accordingly he is received into heaven, and into such a society of the blessed as suits his condition, where he or she remains and developes the new-born life to all eternity.He will lecture again next Thurday at the same place at 8 p.m.on the interesting apbject \u2018\u2018Guardian Angels and Prayer.\u201d \u2018The lectures are free.Zion.The Rev.A.J.Bray preached in this chrreh last evening, the subject being ¢ Daniel in the Lion's Den.\u201d The text was taken from part of the 23rd verse of the 6th chapter of Damiel, \u201cSo Daniel was taken out of the dem, and no manner of hrit was found upon him, because he believ- ¢4 in Lis God.\u201d There is a wonderful tale in the old story of Duni¢l, it hus taken hold of children\u2019s imaginations as few sibriceRave * done ; with what interest we have heard the details of the lifo of the gfeat man\" told, and how we trembled when they got him in the den of lions.He thought that this interest was a proof to parents that children belong to God and not to the devil.Our desires when young seem fo cling around what is good; we are born to it; but this subject is not a mere nursery tale fit only for children, it is of grave interest for practical life and for all time.A man must be far gone before he ceases to have pride in his ruler or master spirits.Our history is full of the deeds of brave men.Our interest is enlivened by great men Moing great and good things.The world cannot be lost while there prevails an admiration for what is good, heroip, manly or divige.The admire Daniel and esteem him as a devout man, there is hope you will live to like a eater man, and hope of your salvation.aniel had great wisdom, and a wonderful force of character, which must gain al- miration of the people.He was born to command, and sent into the world to conquer ; but if religion had not entered into hig life, he would have furnished a chapter for history, like Nero and other tyrants, and that would have been all.He must do great things, and Le would have been a great curse, and a magnificent devil, if he had not been a great blessing.Daniel's idea of greatness was not in dragging men down, \u201cbut in lifting them up, as John the Baptist, Peter aud others did.His ideas of greatness sprang from faith in God.His belief in God is written in every chapter of His life.We firet see Daniel fourteen years of age, and though he is in a city of idolatry \u2018We would not worship idols, Darius, the Median, who slew Bellshazzar and obtained possession oi Babylon, beard of the wisdom of Daniel and appointed him to a high officein his kingdom.Daniel was never à bireling ; his office he considered a sacred duty te be discharged asin the sight of God.He held it not for himself, but as a steward of God upon the earth.He was faithful, and this quality must command respect, and those who have it will prosper.The speaker had no belief in the ladder of life net steered faithfully to man and to God.Others must slide back and be breken with the fall, The passion of malice had turned upon Daniel; the other presidents and princes inthe province feared his promotion, as they knew he wasa just and faithful steward, and would rigidly enforee all duties if he was set over them.Then these satraps and chiefs were perhaps filling their own coffers with the money of the king and of the people; they loved him asthe devil loves truth and goodness, or vice virtue, so they loved him not at all.Darius admired him much; he saw Daniel was faithful and trustworthy, while he also saw that ihe satraps and rulers were not to be trusted at all.The faithfulness of Daniel stood for him against these men, The Rev.gentleman said that he was commended sometimes for making warm speeches and he was loved as a brother, but some other time perhaps he had to speak against some fault or failing, and he was anything but a hero then.Religion presents itself in different colors to different men, just as it tells for or against their interest.Pilate was no better than the Pharisees in putting Jesus to death.IfChrist had put forth political affairs He would have put him away, but there was nothing to touch Jesus for, He was not undermining Pilate\u2019s power or interest.If be had been seeking to overthrow Rome, the Pharisees would have been on his side, interest governs everything the world over.If men praise you to-day, and if your bold speech hurt them, you can't belpit.Right never went far without op position from wrong doers.Justice and | well-doing frequently creates fierce opposition and maddens the workers of iniquity; never mind! Trust in God and fear- the right.Let presidents and princes do as they like.Presidents and princes tried to find occasion against Daniel ; malice has fierce eyes and will not allow a single flaw to escape; it has no reverence for the aged or sympathy for youth; in silence and darkness it weaves the meshes of its network to catch the feet of the unwary and crush him.Malice, as a rule, can find easy scope, but in Daniel not a speck, not a flaw can be found.Honesty wants nothing to defend it ; it is proof; not a joint can give.He who is not true to his earthly master will not be true to God.Several instances were given whers men shut their homes and offices at the time Moody and Sankey were holding services in Liverpool, thereby neglecting work for the purpose of attending worship, This was supposed to mean great religious fervour, but he, Mr.Bray, considered those persons fanatics and dishonest to shirk, as they did.honest work for the dishonorable pretext of worshipping God.If people are not true to duty they will not be true to God.Work is just what man wants.The smallest soul cen make the meanest office great.That Christ did pet shrink from washing: his dis ciples\u2019 feet is an example to us, Ih his official life the satraps and rulers could find no accusation against Daniel, but in his religious life their\u2019 malice soon- lead them to think they could effect the object they had to get him in disfavor with the King.They knew Daniel well ; they kméw he woull be faithful to his King, but they also kne v he would be faithful to his God.Put the Kiag against God, and he must be unfaithful somehow.Darius was weak and vain, and they decided to flatter him, which they did by getting him to sign a decree binding all men in the kingdom to ask no petition of any one but of the king for 30 days.Daniel heard of the order which was passed and felt grieved when he came'to think that he was forbidden to pray- to God for such a\u2019 period he wh» had served him for nearly ninety years.He must stand for 30 days by the fountain of life, but cannot stoop down to drink it.But when the hour for prayer arrives be does as he has always done, without fated breath or fear.Men there are who would not have dont as \u2018Daniel did, they would have gone into a room\u2019 and locked the dosr fast and then whispered out their prayer.But Daniel would not compromise, he never did.Th» King this time had undertaken an office he could not carry out.No Royal decree of King or priest'can come between man and his God, can stand bétweeu him and his \u2018spiritual prerogatives.They may make laws and enforce them in official daily life, but when they begin to force prayer and ritual, I cry hands off if you please; hero 1 recoghiis néither Pops nor Priést nor other power; here I will not be imposed upon.The Pharisees told the disciples not to preach to the people again of \u2018Christ, but they went on, they heeded not.It was not rebellion any more than when a man who is assailed protects his House.any man bearing any name attempts to come between man and his God he must come down: The presidents -and princes are under Daniel's window

have been obliged to reject large numbers of advertisements, and measures to meet its requirements.people have in some cases offered double rates to be assured a place.The anxiety to secure insertion has manifested itself in a variety of ways ingenious and otherwise.The disappointment experienced by these advertisers has been very keen on learning that there was an insurmountable obstacle in the way ; that by an inflexible rule of our office we cannot recognize the importance of advertising orders excepting in the exact order in which they are received, whether they be great or small, and that under no circumstances whatever will we deviate from our established rates to give any advertiser precedence.We have enlarged the paper, but even with the increased room at our command we cannot promise to accommodate all who are making application for space.Those who wish to secure insertion on any particular day should present their orders at the office one or two days in advance.In this way, but in no other, can we hope to give satisfaction to all.: The Board of Trade.The Montreal Gazelle, unable to shake the position we have taken on the subject of the Dominion Board of Trade\u2014namely: That it should be strictly non-political, and that its delegates should be Jona fide representatives of purely commercial interests\u2014has chosen to attach itself viciously to a mere incidental reference which is not in issue in the discussion.Its presumption that it is in exclusive possession of the knowledge of the radical difference in the constitution of the English and Canadian Boards of Trade is gratuitous ; and we leave the Gazette to its own conceit, Todd and the encyclopedia, merely observing that since it is aware of the difference between the English and Canadian Boaids it should also be aware that it is the very reverse of the quotation it has given from Todd, that is applicable in Canada, namely: *\u2018 The control ef the Board of Trade should never be entrusted to any man who is directly and personally engaged in any branch of trade.\u201d Thus even the authority quoted by the Guzctte is against itself, as regards the only point at issue if properly interpreted.This is precisely what we insisted upon, and as we believe with a measure of success which is extremely dis- tusteful to our irritable contemporary.Hence the oldexpedient of abusing- the plaintiff's attorney.The Winter Port of the Dominion, The Intercolonial Railway brings Halifax within « day's journey of Montreal, and that city offers many advantages as the winter port of the Dominion.Its harbor is spacious, easy of approach and open at all seasons.The immense water frontage of the harbor, with its land-locked Bedford Basin, and North-west Arm and Eastern Passage, gives thirty miles of sheltered anchorage where the combined navies of the world could be moored with safety.Disabled steamers bear up for Halifax where they are sure of a refuge with a mnever- failing supply of coal and provisions, and many of the great steamship liues have made it a port of call.The exports from this commercial centre to Great Britain Lave been growing every year; lumber and the products of the fisheries are the main staples of export to Great Britain, bat other articles are included in the list, such as leather, tobacco, furs, preserved meats, apples and skates, Halifax is also the seat of a very active trade with the West Indies which, indeed, has been described as the life of that city and which has proved very lucrative.With ths United States the trede is extensive, though it has fallen off considerably since the abrogation of the treaty of reciprocity, The intercolonial trade with the rest of the Dominion is susceptible of a large development ; at present it is merely in its initiatory stages, When sngar refining was carried on tn Montreal a brisk trade was done in sugars and molasses imported from the West Inuies byHalifax merchants, and a considerable traffic in flour and provisions is still carried on between these two cities.It is doubtful if Halifax will offer an advantageous market for the general manufactures of Quebec and Ontario, as its own industries are varied and numerous and their products in excess of local wants.A large amount of capital is invested in these industries which are said to give a fair return ; almost every branch of manufactures is included such as furniture, clothing, boots and shoes, hats, pianos, paper, Tope, gunpowder, nails, spikes, edge tools, skates, railway ties, paint, machinery, biscuits, tobacco, brooms, brushes, soap and candles, wood ware and many other articles.Halifax enjoys a considerable local trade with Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island and St.Pierre Miquelon ; its argosies bear the products of the forest and fisheries to South America, Bermuda, the Azores, Ms Spain and Portugal.Though without a ** fishing fleet \u201d itself, Halifax is the eaporium of the great fish trade of North America.The bulk of the experts of fish from Halifax goes to the \u2018West Indies and it is argued from this that it should be the chief distributing point of West India produce for the whole Do.4 City News.BENEVOLENOK.\u2014 There Were 126 inmates in the Protestant House of Refuge last week, 275 casuals received protection, and 978 meals were distributed.ST.PATRICK'S

retarned.COUNTERFEIT BiLLs.\u2014A painter, named E.J.Doran, was arrested charged with passing a $20 counterfeit bill of an American bank, upon a clothier on Craig street.The prisoner is said to belong to the gang of gamblers, at 392 Notre Dame street, exposed in THE STAR a short time ago.VISITING GovERNORS.\u2014The visiting governors to the General Hospital for the week commencing Monday, 10th December, 1877, will be F.E.Gilman, Esq., and E.H.Goff, Esq.James Ferrier, junr.,, and W.F.Kay, Eeqe., are the visiting governors at the Protestant House of Industry and Refuge this week.BurcLARY\u2014Fridsy night some parties \u2018flected an entrance into Mr.Ben Holmars remises by the back door, No, 304 St.\u2018harles Borrommee street.It is thought hat they could not have been professionals 1s they contented themselves with marely takirg two coats and consuming a large quantity of eatables which they found in a \u2018upboard.In the pockets of the coats were some keys which Mr.Holman would like to recover, if the thieves would be good enough to return them.APPOINTMENTS ON THE MONTREAL OTTAWA AND OCCIDENTAL RAILWAY.\u2014Next Thursday regular trains will begin to ran upon the above line of railway between Ottawa and this city, Mr.Williams, who runs between Mcntreal and St.Jerome, will be appointed to the conductorship on the former line, and it is probable he will be replaced by Mr.A.F, Martel, as an influential requisition has been signed by a large number of persons at St.Jerome and elsewhere favoring his claim, SELLING Liquor WITHOUT A LICENSE, \u2014 Philias Gravel, grocer, No.795 Bonaventure street, was tried before Mr.Desnoyers this morning for selling liquor without a license, and found guilty.He was fined $95 and costs, and in default of payment, four months\u2019 imprisonment.Upon being fcund guilty he told the constable that he would not pay the fine ; he would not give the Government that satisfaction.But when he was brought to the door of the cell and heard the noise of the iron bolts and keys, he changed his mind and consented to pay.BURNED TO DrATI.\u2014A little boy two years and a halfold, son of a Mr.Curneau, St.Joseph street, met his death Friday last by burning under the following circumstances : His parents were talking ina room adjoining the one where deceased was.A box of matches lay on the table within reach of the little fellow, Having got hold of the box he amused himself striking matches, when presently his clothes catching fire he was soon enveloped in flames.His parents hearing his cries came to the rescue, but too late ; he was so much burned that he died about 24 hours after the accident in great pain.A doctor was called and used every means to lessen his sufferings.Porice Courr\u2014Moxnpay.Before Mr, Brehaut, P.M.\u2014Thomas Bradley was sent to jail for three months for stealing seven razors and thirty hones from Mr.Girard, Notre Dame street ; Mathew Mahoney was condemned to two months\u2019 imprisonment for stealing seven cotton sheets and 1 child\u2019s cotton shirt.These articles are in the possession of the High Constable, awaiting an owner.Frederic Galipeau, for the theft of an iron shovel, was sent to jail for five months ; Louis Landry, 19, of no occupation, residing iu Bonsecours street, was remanded on suspicion of stealing a coat and revolver ; Edward Doran, 24, painter, was arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 of the Franklin County Bank, St.Albans, signedO.A.Burton.He gave the bill in payment for a coat that he bought for five dollars from Ja second-hand dealer named Ephreme Vosburghrich, Craig street.The accused is one of the gang connected with the gambling house, corner Notre Dame and Alexis streets, Upon his perscn was found a $10 bill of the Confederate States.He pleaded guilty and subsequently said he wanted to go upon his trial, and was remanded till to-morrow.Veterinary Association.At the usual fortnightly meeting of the Montreal Veterinary Association, Professor Osler in the chair, the latter presented two volumes and Dr.Cressy a copy of Baird's large work on the Mammals of North America to the library of the Association.A communication on \u201cUrinary Calcul\u201d and another on rupture of the bladder in oxen was read by Dr.Cressy, and gave rise to an amimated discussion, in which the President, C.C.Lyford, V.S., and oth rs took part.A paper was read by Mr.O.Baneau on lock-jaw in the lower animals, which was followed by an interesting discussion on the subject by Drs.Alloway, Cressy, Osler and others, At the next meeting interesting papers will be read by Dr.Alloway and Mr.F.W.McLellan, PUBLIC OPINION.The Laval University.To the Editor of THE STAR.SIR,\u2014In my previous letter, on a subject of great importance to the medical fraternity, to which yon have kindly given publicity, [ said if you would allow me I would return to the subjeet, when, tc give me a better opportunity, I netice the following telegram in your Saturday\u2019s editio 1 \u201c Within a week the whole of the preliminaries relating to the proposed new branch of Laval University in Montreal will be settled.The branch University will have four Faculties\u2014Arts, Law, Medicine and Divinity.Since its foundation in 1863, Laval University hss always given ten months course of medical lectures in the year, while the other medical schools in the Province have given but six, Moreover four years studies or forty months are required of a student in Laval before taking bis \u2018\u201c LD,\u201d while three years or eighteen months have hitherto been deemed sufficient in the other colleges, Thus there has always existed the difficulty of bringing the other colleges up to the standard of Laval.One of the amendments to be proposed to the Medical Act at the coming session of the Legislature is to force all the medical schools in the Province to give a ten months course of lectures each year, and this is partisularly designed to apply to the new branch of Laval University, to be established in Mon- .treal.The amendment is likely to be opposed, it is feared, by McGill and Bishops Colleges.\u201d\u201d This apparently is given * by authority;\u201d there is a little truth in it but not the whole.Tt is true that since its foundation Laval University has given nine montns course of medical lectures in the year, while other medical schools in the province have given but six months, but Laval intentionally omits omention theimportantfactthat \u2018ths other medical schools\u201d give exactly the same number of lectures as it does.\u201cTha other medical schools \u201d obey the law of the Province as well as follow British custom, and this is what wrangles Laval.\u2018The other schools\u201d le ture every day, Laval ouly three times a week, and therefore takes nine months to do what the other medical schools do in six.The law requires 120 lectures to be given in the session, and that number is given by all the schools and has been always given in the six months\u2019 course, and why should Laval, to suit its own ideas, try to alter what has been found to answer well.I will tell you the reason.It is that all the English students of medicine uy be driven out of this Province.They will have to go to Ontario where the courses are of six months, and the consequence will be that our English schools of medicine will pot have any students, and must close.This is Laval\u2019s ohject and desire.Shall it be allowed to succeed 1 Laval makes great pretensions about favoring education, but it 18 only pretence, #8 its object is to keep education in its own hands, and teach eccord:ng to its own views, It is admitted that Montreal offers greater advartages to medical students than any other city in the Dominion, and is allowad to be the centre of medical education\u2014why should it be deprived of this?This act of Laval is a selfish one, and intended to destroy the English medical schools.I hope [ have made its object plain, and that it will be nipped in the bud.There is another and an important objection against the nine months course which L have left till the last to mention, and that is the great extra expense the students will ba put to in being obliged to remain three months longer in the city ; but to a religious uriversity of the boasted liberality of Laval, this inc: nvenience does not appear to be of any consideration\u2014it wants its own views and idess carried out at any and all sacrifices.By the mass of mankind the ecclesiastical rule has always been deemed vexatious and intolerable, and the time has arrived when all must enter a protest against its domination unless we wish to find ourselves buried deeper than the ninth hell of the Inferno, Yours, A GovERNOR OF THE

hitherto been a little sensitive upon the sub- jeot of Government pork inspection and our remarks thereon, have now come boldly to the front and pointed out the defectivencss of the law concerning mess pork inspection, consequently a revision cf the Act relating thereto has wisely been deemed expedient.According to the present inspection law, \u201cmess poik shall consist of the rib pieces only of good hogs, not weighing less than 200 pounds each ;\u201d\u2019 whereat mess pork shonld consist of rib pieces of good fat hogs, not weighing less than 225 pounds each, As the law now stands it is legal for mess pork te Fe made from Jean hogs providing they weigh 200 Ibs.which of course would be inconsistent with the understood quality of that inspection.We find there is no standard here for thin mess, although it is actual requirement of the trade, sams being known in Chicago as light mess, and should consist of the side pieces only of fat hogs weighing not less than 170 Ibs.each.Regarding weight, it is well known that the Chicago standard is not sufficient for pork packed here, as only 190 pounds green meat is packed from the block in that city, which is generally found inadequate when inspected here in midsummer.A barrel of mess pork packed here should contain not less than 192 lbs, : thin mess, 194 lbs; all other grades, 196 Ibs.It is most important that the law on this point be very explicit, and packers shonld be compelled under heavy penalties to place the above mentioned weight (green meat) in each barrel, and to mark the date thereon when packed, forit is complained that York is often packed and sold here without the weight.or date being so marked, and in many instances it is not marked until months after the same is actually barrelled.Now the weight of a barrel of pork isa serions matter, and should be closely looked into, for we are informed upon gocd authority that in many cases in hig and other markets only 180 to 185 lbs.graen meat bave been packed in each barrel.One important section of the Inspection Act which we would draw attention to is Neo.49.which reads as follows: \u2014*¢ No person other than Inspector or Deputy-Inspector under this Act, and who has previouslv ccmplied with all the requirements thereof, or the actuel owner of the beef or pork inspected, shall inspect any beef or pork, or : brand or mark any barrel or half barrel, tierce or half tierce, or cask or vessel of anv kind, centaining such beef or pork, or give any certificate of inspection, under a pen alty of forty dollars for each barrel, half barrel, tierce or half tierce.cask or vessel, of beef or pork so inspected or branded, or with regard to which such certificate is given, to be recovered and applied in the mapner provided by this Act with regard to penalties hereby imposed.2.And if any owner of any beef o- pork brands any such vesselas aforesaid containing:beef or pork, without affixing to it his surname and the initial of his Christian name, the date at which the sème was branded, ard the word \u2018\u2018owner\u201d or \u2018\u2018owners,\u201d he shall be held to have inspected and branded the same contray to the provisions of this Act, and shall incur the penalty aforesaid.\u201d Now in regard to that part of the ahove section which we have given in italics, we think alittle more per- spicuily is needed, for although we would render it in accordance with the marginal note as follows : \u201cinspection to be made only by inspector or deputy,\u201d yet there are some who maintain the act reads that owners can inspect pork, which, of course, is an absurdity, for if such were the case the act would at once become nugatory, and we are sorry to have to admit that the Government inspection of pork in this city has been little better than a farce any how.We hope the Board of Examiners, who now have the suh- ject under their consid ration, will ses to the tfectnal working of this highly necessary sw in fatura THE MONTREAL DAILY STAR.MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1877.A Fortunate Presentiment.In March last, while the ill.fated United States steamer Huron was lying in the harbor of Port Royal, 8.C., Lieutenant Arthur H.Fletcher, her executive officer, lefc the vessel on a twenty-four hours leave of absence, and, failing to return at the expiration of that time, the ship sailed for another port without him.A few daye after Mr.Fletcher returned to Port Royal, reported to Commodore J.H.B.Clitz, \u2018\u2018senior naval officer present,\u201d and stated to him that for some time past he had a presentiment that, if he went to sea in the Huron for the purpose of finishing the cruise (two years), he would be wrecked.This feeling took complete possession of his mind, and he used every means to get detached, but the Navy Department refused to order it without a better reason.When he found that all his efforts had failed, he left the Huron in the manner stated, with the intention not to return.For this he was placed under arrest and tried by court-martial at Washington Navy Yard in August last.In defence he made a statement, in substance as above, and called Commecdore Clitz, Commander George P.Ryan of the Huron, and other officers to prove that, before leaving the ship, he told them of the dread-\u2014in fact horror\u2014he had of finishing the cruise in the vesel.This is a matter of record, on file in 1} Navy Depaitment, and, though such a line of defences was laughed at when mad», ihe fate of the Huron will cause mauy [superstitious people to think that Mr, Flecch- er\u2019s premonition was fully proven to be a true one by the wreck off Kitty Hawk, N, U.\u2014Springfield Republican.THE GreatShoshonees Remedy is an Indian compound, composed of the juices of a

and on such suspicion the defendants arrested him.He was however, discharged as will also be remembered by the Cororer abruptly terminating the erquhy after a briefhearing.Coyle immediately on discharge entered an action against the police authorities for false arrest ; the latter fyled their plea, to which the plaintiff entered a demurrer, which was argued a few days sgo.Judgment was rendered today, the Court peremptorily dismissing the demurrer and thus relieving the police authorities of a somewhat embarrassing suit.Mr.Harnett argued the case for the defendants and Mr.Pagnuelo for the plaintiff, The Late Chief McLaugblin, of the Government Pulice.This efficient and highlv respected officer, whose sickness was referred to a few days ago in TUE STAR, died on Saturday evening about 11 o'clock, at his late residence, No.846 Dorchester street, at the age of 62 years.He was born in the west of Ireland in June, 1816, and when 19 years old joined the Royal Irish Constabulary.His integrity and strict attention to duty soon brought him under the notice of his superior officers, and in three years\u2019 time he was raised to the rank of sergeant, a most unusual event in the force, as seldom was such an appointment made before the man had done duty for seven or eight years.He kept this office for seven years, after which, at the request of friends, he came to this country, and took up his residence in Montreal.Not long afterwards he joined the City Police, where he continued for about five years, having been made acting sergeant, At the end of that period, the force being reduced in number, he was thrown out of employment.No very long time elapsed after this before Hon.John Young's bill for the organization of a body of men to protect the river front of Montreal passed into law, and the force being formed under the superintendence of Major Johnson, Mr.McLaughlin accepted the position of senior sergeant in July, 1851, Mr.Patrick Bryne being the chief in command.Two years later the chief died and the subject of this notice was appointed in his stead, which position he has held up to the present time, a period of about thirty years.The late gentleman was a brother-in.law of sub-Chief Flynn of the Sanitary Department, who died a little over twelve months ago.During the time he Bas been connected with the Water Police, Mr.McLaughlin made many important arrests which included that of Colonel Brown, who was charged with making away with a large sum which he had received to pay the volunteers.He followed this persom bLuvugle Buglaud, Faumce ana Germany, finally capturing him in Baden.While bringing his prisoner overland from Halifax to Moutreal in the fall of 1866, he had to undergo severe hardships and was attacked with asthms, from the effectsof which he never seemed torecover.He also arrested a man named McDonald and many others who were in the habit of decoying the regulir soldiers stationed in Canada to the United States for service in the Americas army during the war.Before the Quebec Provincial Police were formed he wag called upon at the time the Oka troubles first broke out to arrest several of the Chiefs at the Lake of the Two Mountains; the exposure he was subjected to at this time aggravated his complaint, and his health was further impaired last spring by the hard duty he had to undergo at the time of the Ship Laborers\u2019 strike.The much lamented Chief leaves a wife and three sons and many relatives.The funeral will take place to-morrow morning at eight o'clock from his late residence to St.Pat: rick\u2019s Church, thence to the Cote des Neiges Cemetery, The members ofthe Water Police force, recently discharged for the winter, bave been notified and will follow the remains of their late honored commander to the grave in a body.Thirty files of the City Police, with fire-arms and accoutrements, consisting of 60 men, will walk in procession, A deputation of the firemen is also expected to be present.Only two men are in the force new who joined the same year with theChief, namely, SergeantsDon- ohue and Sandiland.Business Treubles: Writs of attachment have been issued against Cleverdon & Martin, crockery dealers, and J, M, Howell, saloon keeper, Toronto.With reference to the writ of attachment against Mr.Jas.C.Gordon noticed in THE STAR a few days ago, we learn that the deed of composition made by him about nine months ago was never completed, some of the creditors objecting to sign it.Nince then the principal part of the creditors have been paid a portion of their claims and the liabilities of the estate are not large as bas been stated.Mr.Gordon has been in business in this city for eleven years, and has always borne the reputation of being a hard-working honorable man.His diffieni- ties have been the result of the ¢ hard times\u201d which have brought disaster to so many business men during the past two yearn.Special Notices.SPLENDID rosewood piands are now being sold at H.J.Shaw's stores, fully gnaran- teed for $200 and upwards.Second-hand pianos at gi eat bargains.Call before buying elsewhere, FINE sideboards, dining tables and chairs, drawing-room and bed-room suites, in the most elegant and substantial styles, can be had in great variety and cheaper than auy- where else, at H.J.Shaw\u2019s large furniture store, 724, 726, and 728 Craig street.New Advertisements this pn TEES & CO., Undertakers and Furniture dealers, have re-opened at the old stand, 11 Bonaventure street, with a complete sssortment of Iron and Wood Caskets and Coffins, Trmmipgs, and every requisite essential to the profession.280 + MPOKTANT SALE OF HORSES, BLEIGHS, BUFFALOKS, HARNESS, (Co.C.Taesday, the 11th Instant.The subscribers have received instructions to sell by auction, on Tuesdays, the 11th instaut, at the corner of J acques Carti+r and Craig streets, a complete stock of Sieighr, Horses, &c., consistig in 8 Portland Slelghs, 4 Boston Bleighs, 3 Double fjeighe, 1 Single Sleigh, 6 Carrioles, 20 Buffalos, 10 Ho1se6, & c.;

must be considered in connection with relations between European yowers, namely, force, which alone could make treaties valid.As to allegations concerning a triple alliance, he said Austria was the arblter of her own destinies.No European state could more securely count mpon obtaining recognition of its reasonable and just demands.He declared himself strongly opposed co the idea thet in compliance with external prejudices the Christian population of Turkey must be continued under Turkish misrule.He denied Austria was acting uader the influence of Germany, and declared no power in

this Nan About 94 Per Ceut., Betongiug to the Creditors, Have Melted Away, and all they will Get of à Dividend is the Balance, 6 Per Cent !\u2014Tne Firm Rated to be Worth from 85,- 000 to $100,000 Up to the Time af Suspension by the Commercial Ageneles!! In 1872 J.& R.O'Neill, who were en- geged in business in Port Hope, Ontario, came to this city and commenced business as wholesale dry gonds merchants.They got along apparently very well up to the end of 1876, when it was announced they were in difficulties, and in January, 1877, they stopped payment, their direct liabilities amounting to $174,370, The accounts are now in such shapa that it.can be determined what the estate will pay the creditors, and strange as it may appear, it is nevertheless true that the creditors will only receive six anda quarter cents on the dollar, about ninety-four per cent.of the credi*ors\u2019 money, amounting to $163,000 out of the $174,000 of direct liabilities, having melted away.This is the result of only four years trading, and how isthe credit of a commercial city like Montreal to be sustained when such failures are allowed to take place! We may state as another proof of the unreliability of commercial sgencies that the O\u2019 Neills were rated 8s worth up to the period of their failure as follows : By McKillop & Co., at $50,000 ; by Bradstreet, at $75,000 ; by Dun, Wiman & Co., at $100,000.The first dividend on the estate has just been declared at the rate of 8% cents on the dollar, and there will be in all probability about as much more hereafter, making a total of 6} cents on the dollar, the creditors losing nearly 94 per cent.We are referring strictly to direct liabilities for which value was actually received.The following is a summary of the liabilities : Due to wholesale houses in Montreal, $85,720.94; due to banks in Montreal, $8,668.28 ; due to creditors in Ontario, $11,528.59.The following is a list of the English creditors : \u2014Ryland & Song, limited, Manchester, $18,399.65 ; Thos.Pilkington & Son, do., $2,407 95;

but it is quite clear no one in this house is con.nccted with his death.Most likely ho was followed by some low-bred boon companion from the Sea View.\u201d Ard with that the matter was dismissed.He reviewed his own conduct with some dè- gree of self reproach ; it was charlish, he confessed, to give Brookdale up so easily, and then treat the man who took it as if he Was an usurper.\u201cYou wanted me to explain something,\u201d said Everard, when the gentlemanly George, having done some polite unoonscious ering.ing te Eugene, had dawdled out ofthe room, ** Shell we have a chat in the picture gallery \u2014wé aré safe from interruption there, Speaking of that gallery, is it your wish to keep the wing still closed ?\u2019 \u201c* For ever, if I have the power.\u201d ¢¢ Thete is some story connected with it that even I have not been made aware of ¢¢ There is, said Eugene, \u2018but there is no reason why it should not be told now, since Edward and I are friends.His father and mine uever were.\u2019 ** So I have heard.\u201d \u201c* But you have rot heard why?\u201d i d 1 leadi: They w 0 passage i to the gares, oa the long tha Be harinth of corridors in silence, Both glanced involuntarily at the heavy, iron-bound, leathern- covered door which shut from the rest of Brookdale the suite of rooms in.which Eugene's mother died.;

\u2018How quiet the rest of the house seems from here,\u201d said Everard; \u201cwe hear no sound.The windows are barred too, and\u2014-\"\" The heavy iron-bound door, with its gilded lcathern covering, swung and closed silently.They felt the jar, and- looked a} each other in momentary dismay.** Weare locked in,\u201d said Grantley ;

but when converted from its intended use, the roof was filled in, and painted as you see this cabinet,\u201d He approached a splendid piece of furniture.richly carved in solid oak, and black with age.It stood exactly opposite the foot of the bedstead.\u201cIt was used as a wardrobe for some time,\u201d he said ; \u2018\u2019 but it is a precious piece of workmanship, and centains a mysterious drawer, which you would never find unless you knew where to look for it, Some one must have been here recently\u2014there are finger marks in the thick dust.\u201d \u201cLet us get through our explanations ard your story,\u201d said Everard, drawing him away with a smile.Our friends will wonder where we are, and I am not enraptured with this tomb.like stillness.\u201d Eugene deristed when in the act of opan- ing the cabinet doors, and Mr.Grantley seemcd relieved.Eugene wondered that his cousin\u2019s strong nature should be influenced by a quietude which to him was hallowed, CHAPTER XXI.IN THE SECRET DRAWER.It was at best a morbid fancy, Mr.Grantley thought, which induced his cousin to keeptne extra wing of Brookdale always closed.Hsd he had his own way, he would Lave restored the rooms to the purpose they were built for, and sent some vigorous housemaids and a glazier to clear out the dust and traditions, \u201cThis part of the building is a mystery to the servants,\u201d he said, © They speculate curiously upon it amongst themselves,\u201d my valet tells me.Some say it is haunted ;

Notto say it irreverently, he was one of these who seem to have a special mission to degrade the noblsst races in the land, and show the common p-ople what a bopeless blackguard a gentleman can sometimes be in spite of birth and culture.\u201d \u2014 ¢¢ He might have been better had his lifs been different at the outset,\u201d said Eugene.\u201c\u2018 You know, Everard, my mother was an

gave for it.She used to shrink from the sound of his voice ; but she never dared to show her aversion, He had fits of fury at times, when he was uncontrollable, and dangerous 8s a maniac, and had he ever suspected the truth\u2014that she loved my father\u2014the con.requences might have been terrible.\u201d .** Did Uncle Clarence ever tell her of his love ¥* \u201cYes.The knowledge that he was not worthy of her\u2014the instinct which made him always jealous of my father \u2014impelled him to his declaration ; and he told her, if there was any power on earth that might change him, it was her affection.He would wait for her\u2014endure anything, fulfil any test\u2014 and if she found it impossible to care for him he would give her up.Bat he swore, with a bitter oath, the one only thing

constructed that it cannot act as a drain for the neighboring soil.This can be done by making the wall above low water mark of some material impervious to water, or by omitting.this past of the wall altogether.The first can be ao- complished by having the wall from a point two or three feet from the bottom made of brick with a coat of hydraulic cement on its exterior, or of hydraulic well-tubing with the joinings well protected with cement.In either case the earth should be thoroughly packed around the wall, and a slight embankment should be made around the orifice to prevent the inflow of surface or storm water.In such a well the draining surface is so reduced, and placed at such a distance below the surface of the ground, that in the great majority of instances the introduction of foreign matter becomes impossible, except in so far as theré is a chance that substances wlll fall into the well from above.To prevent this the well should be kept covered when not in use.In most cases, however, it is better to omit the upper part of the well altogether.After the excavation is completed, the wall can be built in the usual manner for a distance of two or three feet, more or less, as circumstances muy.de mand ; the service pipe can thon be placed iu position and well arched over.The remainder of the excavation can then be filled with earth, well packed as it is thrown in, and the pipe carried to any convenient point.It will be necessary to place above the arch several layers of stones sucoessively.smaller to prevent tha falling of earth into the space below.The workmen will probably suggest a layer of turf or straw to accomplish this object, but the presende of either of these substances will cause the water to be un- prove the cause of much arnoyancs; There is a prevalent notion that a well should be ventilated for the purpose of alv lowing noxious geses to escape ; and that water is better for being exposed to the air.1 hardly need state that the only noxious gases in a well (i.¢., gases that render the water unwholesome) are the products: of decomposition of organic matter which has found its way into the well in ways which have been described above, and tbe: water as it flows in its subterranean passages is more perfectly ærated than it can be in any other way.Worms in Horses.Eps.COUNTRY GENTLEMAN.\u2014 You wish e information how to remove worms in a horse.I once had a horse afflicted similarly, and the effect was the same.I tried almost every remedy recommended, but to no purpose, My horse was very fond of milk, and I gave him sour milk for two or three days.One morning I found, to my \u2018surprise, thirteen of those long worms in his manure, and found at different times six more, making nineteen in all.He wassoon | changed in every respect for the better, and 1 gave the sour milk all the credit of the cure, 1 once had = fine mare, seriously troubled with small worms, about the size and length of a common darning needle.I treated her in the following manner : I kept her without food for one day ; at night I gave her a small bran mash, and directly after it, a ball made of ome scruple of calomel, one scruple of turpeth mineral, and as much bread and heney as would form it into a mass.The next evening I gave her about three gills of castor oil and a half-pint of linseed oil.Then fed her as usual, Within the next twenty-four hours I had removed from ter about two-thirds of & teacupful of those little parasites, In a few days I repeated the operation, and completely drove out the whole family of intruders.: The following 1s a good recipe for werms in horses: Powdered poplar bark, two ourices ; powdered sulphur, four ounces; salt, three ounces ; mix well.Divide the mass into twelve parts, and mix one with the food every night, This will not only remove the worms, but also tone up the digestive organs, se that the parasites cannot for a time find a foothold.G.W, H, Cows Holding Up Milk.À correspondent of the Quesksidnder sum- miarizes the physiological peculiarities of the mammary glends of thè cow im: the- fellow: ing manner, thus explaining: why.cows can \u201chold up their milk :\u201d The bag or udder is divided into four parts, entirely distinct from-each other, except as they areheld together by membranous ligaments.The milk in eaeh is held in confluent tubes, whieh, like thewoots of a tree, are all contracted into one, just above the teat\u2014the milk entering that funnel.shaped organ by a single ehannel.Just at the upper end of the teat the walls of this channel are contracted, and the contraction is surrounded by a band of muscular fibres.The will of the cow can operate on this band, contracting or expanding it at pleasure, making it operate like a valve.At the junction of each smaller tube with a larger one is a amilar contraction and band, slso under the control of the will, Ordi- dinarily, these bands are contracted (as in the neck of the bladder) so that the milk hes to crowd its way through them to got from the smaller into the larger tubes.This is an admirable arrangement for sustaining the weight of the milk equally in all parts of the udder, and preventing it from Îressing heavily upon the teats.When the udder is full, if the milk is drawn out of the teats, relieving the pressure \u2018n tkem, it requires a vigorous effort of the will of the cow to prevent the pressure &bove from crowding the milk down to fill the vacancy.If the udder is only partly filled, she can hold the milk back more easily, and the less there is in it, \u201cthe more easily can she maintain the tension of the muscular bands necessary to prevent entirely the milk from flowing through them.When the milker first takes holds of the teats and begins to milk, the excitement causes the cow to contract the lands so firmly as to hold back the wilk perfectly for a time.But presently this vigorous contraction will begin to slacken, and the milk will begin to pour through, and if all is quiet she will relax the bands fully, when the milk all settles down upon the teats, and if quickly drawn it can all be milked out to the very last drop.But this perfect relaxation will only last for a short time.If the milk is not soon extracted she will begin to tighten up the muscular bands again, and the last part will be held back and permanently re- pleasant for a considerable time, and will | hab got it all, because it stops coming.A cow \"should, therefore, be milked quickly as well'as quietly, A calf will draw mi k in tlrec minutes, and a milker should come as near that time as possible, If the time of milking is much prolonged she will become impatient, and be sure not to \u2018\u2018 give down\u201d yeifectly.The/quietest and quickest miller gets the most and best milk, because he gets all the \u201c strippings,\u201d which are the richest port.Cheese Manufacture, Mr.Thomas Ballantyne, who obtained the premium for the best cheese at the Centennial, at a meeting of the American Dairymen\u2019s Association, said :\u2014*¢ From my o»- servations and experiments during the past few years, I bave eome to the conclusion that a good deal of the worst cheese does not come from bad milk, but carelessness in stirring the curd during the cooking process.While the heat is being appliad the curd falls to the bottom of the pan, when the temperature is greater than blood heat, and coming in contact with the bottom, is somewhat wilted or scorched, and this gives the taste of toasted cheese.I lave not the slightest doubf that in most cases strong cheese is produced from that cause.It is very important that the heat should te gradually amd regularly applied, the water being raised to from 82 to 84 and 86 degrees, during which the stirring should be carefully kept up.The heating process should be completed in from one hour to an hour and a-half, In the spring when the temperature of the vat is apt to become reduced on account of the low temperature of theatmosphere, it is necessary that you suou!d keep up an equal temperature or you will have sour, sticky, poor cheese, if you allow the curd to become too cold when putting it to press.I would strongly urge cheese makers to visit other cheese factories whenever they have an opportunity, especially those that have the reputation of making a fine article, I do not know anything by which they can assist themselves more than by taking that plan.There are simply four agencies in the manufacture of cheese, and I urge the importance of giving the greatest attention to each.The first is heat.This must be applied very gradually.The next is rennet, not merely to cosgulate the mass, but to assist in the curing process.The next is salt.Care must be taken to use neither too much nor too little.The fourth agent is acid, which, if not the most important, is quite as important as any of the 1est.By the cheddar process you are able to regulate the acidity.\u2019 The Treatment of Kicking Cows.It is safe to say that a kicking cow is not natur ally disposed to this vice, but bas been made vicious by some fault of her owner.There are few men who possess sufficient patience and kindness to so manage a cow, from calfhood until she comes to the pail, that she will be kind and gentle under all circumstances.There are nervous, irritable cows, that are impatient of restraint, which are easily and quickly spoiled when they fall into the hands of an owner of a similar disposition.One who is kind and patient, snd who has an affection for his animals, is never troubled with kicking cows, unless he has purchased one already made vicious, Unfortunately, fow persons are gifted with these rare virtues, and therefore, therë are always cows that have to be watched carefully at milking times, Cows sometimes suffer from cracked teats, or their udders may be tender from some concealed inflammation, and they are restless when milked ; so that, now and then, in the best regulated dairies, there will be cows that will kick.Many devices have been recommended to prevent such cows from exercising this disgreeable habit.Different methods of securing the legs have been tried.The best plan that we have heard of, or have tried, is the cow-fetter of Mr.H.J.Sadler, sOW FETTERS, of Warren, Ohio, which is here illustrated.This fetter is fastened to the cow\u2019s near leg, by means of the strap in the centre, the curved portions embracing the front of the lez above and below the Sock, It will be perceived that, while the cow?can move her leg to some extont, and is not hobbled, as when the legs are tied together, yet she can not lift it to kick, or to put her foot in the pail.We have seen this ¢f fetter\u201d tried upon a eow that had very sore cracked teats, and that kicked furiously when milked, but | with the fetter she was unable to kick or hinder the milking, The fetter may also be useful when it is necessary to perform an operation upon a cow.\u2014 American Agriculturist.FAMILY MATTERS.\u201c Inflammatery Rheumatiom \u2014To cure inflammatory rheumatism take half an ounce of pulverized saltpetre, and put in half a pint of sweet

original whiteness by first irdning it slightly, then folding itand sewing it mto a clean linen bag, which is placed fo?twenty-four hours in pure olive oil.Afterwards the bag is to be boiled in a solution of soap and water for fifteen minutes, then well rirged in lukewarm water, and finally dipped into water containing a slight pro- poftion of starch.The lace is then to be taken from the bag and stretched on pins to dry, Care of thé Eyes.\u2014Soomer or later our eyesight must become impaired.When beginning to use glasses, nse, them as short à time as possible, only in deficient light,

shoulders bowed together as she would not think of walking if she were out of doors.Every woman ought to go ont into the fresh air at least every pleasant day.If she can spend only a very brief time in this way, it will be a great benefit to her in the long run, and she will return from her daily stroll with a fresher cheek anda brighter eye, and something to think of as she resumes her interrupted work.If her cares are so numerous that she cannot spend the time to make an elaborate toilet, let her go out in any dress that is fit to be worn in the house.If she lives in the country, she willjnct encounter the curious gaze of fashionably attired promenaders, and in the city the quiet streets and parks remote from businees centres are the places where few people are to be seen, and

HISTORY.Prrs.\u2014DBees are fond of pleasant odors and Lright colors, and, in the opinion of Sir John Lubbock, have been largely instramen- tal by fertilizing the beautiful flowers in in.c:casing their numbers, The most lovely flowers, he states, have attacked bees, and consequently the finest blossoms of the year have been cross-fertilized each by the other.Thus, for century after century flowers have been growing more and more beautiful, From these tastes on the part of bees, also it has, in the course of long years, come about that the plants which bloom by day have bright colors and a sweet smell, Similarly night plants, although as a rule colorless, are yet often powerfully scented, the reason being that they are fertilized by noctirnal moths, which have a sense of odor fully as delicate as that of bees, and, like bees, are fond of honey.BIRDs AND THE LIeHT.\u2014 Whenever I hear country folks rejoicing that the days soon will be getting longer, and laying half of their short-comings to poor winter because its days were so short, I wink slyly at the birds, and set them tittering, Bless your heart! these cute little creatures never trouble themeelves about the approach of short days.Why ?Simply because most of them make it a rule to go where the days are len- ger.Biids have the same intence desire for sunshine that flowers have, Like flowers, they turn their backs to the dark and their faces to the light, When the days shorten in the north, the birds gosouth, There are other reasons for their going; but this surely is one.Runneberg, the Swedish poet, daring à long illness, occupied himself by observing the habits of birds; and at the end he declared that, like good men aud women, birds always are seeking the light.¢ When days shorten,\u201d he writes, ¢\u2018the birds go to scuthern climates, when the nights recede.But as soon as the long northegn days set in with their luminous long-drawn hours, the wanderers return to their old haunts, It is generally supposed that they move southward to get more abundent food ; but why do they leave the rich southern feeding grounds to return northward?Simply because one thing is richer there; and that is, light.The bird of passage is of noble origin ; he bears a motto, and his motto is lux mac duæ.\u201d A FAITHFUL FRIEND.\u2014Who says the birds are incapable of affection?None who have studied their pretty ways and habits, certainly.It is now about four years ago that I became acquainted with my pigeon, Joe.One cold, dark night I opened my bedroom window to take in a plant which had been forgotton, when my hand touched something soit on the stone outside.It was a young pigeon.I took him in and warmed and fed him.He became my constant companion, affectionate and tame, playful and full of pretty little tricks, In the spring.thinking he looked wistfully at the sun and open fields, I thought it would be selfish to keep him longer a prisoner; so, after many affectionate farewells, I let him fly ; but be did not remain many hours absent ; coming back toward evening and striking the win- dow-pane with his wing to be let in.So he continued to go and come until he began to stay out all night, amd after a time brought home a meat little mate, a darkblue rigeon, her wings edged with pure white.Kvidently he wished to introduce me te his bride.He made many efforts to induce her to remain, without success, so followed her wishes and made a nest elsewhere.Still for four years, summer and winter, through sunshine or falling snow or rain, he comes back to his mistress, sometimes bringing his mate and young ones to introduce ; but then sends them off again, remaining sometime behind himself, and still retains his pretty, loving ways, bowing and cooing, and spreading ome beautiful wing out over my head as I stand beneath a ledge he perehes on to feed, and still each morning, after washing and carefully pluming himself, he flies through the open window, and I watch him wing his way higher and higher, and alone back to that other home, I know not where.For, small and insignificant though this little creature be, his other Lifé is to me an uñsearehable mystery,
