[coNTINUED.] CHAPTER VIL We had stood thus for a fow moments when a harsh voice halling us from tbovg, put an end to our several thoughts and forebodings.Wo looked up, and I saw half un dozen nighteapped heads thrust over the bulwarks.A rope ladder came hurtling down at our feet, and a man, nhinbly descending, held it tight at the bottom.\u201cNow, madam,\u2019 he sald briskly.They all, 1 noticed, had the same foreign accont, yot all spoke English, a singularity } did not understand until 1 loarned later that the Lost wus the Lion's Wholp, trading botween London and Calais and manned from the latter place.Mistress Bertram ascended quickly and steadily, holding the baby in her arms.The other made somo demur, lingering at the foot of the ladder and ooking up as if afrald until hor companien child her sharply.\u2018Then she, too, went up, but as sho passed mo\u2014I was holding one side of tho ladder steady\u2014she shot at me from nndor hor hood a Jook which disturbed me strangely.It was the first time I had seen her face, and it was such a face ag a man rarely forgets, not hecauso of 3ta beauty, rather Lo- cause it wns a spenking face, a strange and expressive one, which the dark waving hair, swelling in thick clusters upon otther temple, seemed to accentuate, \u2018I'he features wera regular, but, the full red lips excepted, rather thin than shapely.The nose, too, was prominent, But the eyos! The eyes seemed to glorify the dark, brilliant thinness of the face nnd to print it upon the memory.They were dark, flashing eyes, and their smile seemed to mao porpotually to challenge, to allure and repulse and even to goad.Sometimes they wore gay, moro raraly sad, somaotimes soft and again hard as steel.They changed in a moment as ono or another approached hor.But always at their gayest, there wag a suspicion of weariness and fatigue in thelr depths, or so I thought Inter.Something of this flashed through my mind as I followed her up the side.But once on hoard I glanced round, forgetting her In the novolty of my position.The Whelp was decked foro and aft only, the blackness of the hold gaping amidships, spanned by a narrow gangway, which sorved to connect tho two decks, Wao found ourselves in the fore part, amid coils of rope and windlasses and wator casks, RUF- rounded by half a dozen wild looking sailora wesring blue knitted frocks and carrying sheath knives at thoir glrdles.The foremost and biggest of theso seemed to be tho eaptaln, slthough, so far as outward appearnnoes went, the only difference betwoen him and his crew lay in a marline spike which ho wore slung to a thong beside bis knife.When I reached the deck, he was telling a long story to Mistress Bertram, and telling it very slosy- ly.But the drift of it I scun gathered.While the fog lnsted he could not put to 804.\u201cNonsonsn!\u201d cried my masterful companion, chafing at his slowness of speech.\u201cWhy not?Would it bo dangerous?\u201d \u201cWell, madam, it would be dangerous,\u201d ho answered, more Rlowly than ever.\u201cYes, lt would be dangerous.And to put to son in a fog?That is not seamanship.And your baggage has not arrived.\" \u2018Never mind my bnggage!l\u201d Bho answered Impcriously.\u201cI have made other arrangements for it.Two or threo things I know came on board last night.I want to start\u2014to start at once, do you hear?\u201d Tho captain shook his head and sald sluggishly that it was Impossible, Spitting on the dock, he ground his heel leisurely round in n knothale.\u2018Impossible, \"\" he repeated.\u201cIt would not bo seamanship to start In a fog.When tho fog ltfts, wo will go.'Twill be all the samo tomorrow.Wao shalj Ho at Leigh tonight, whether we go now or go when tho fog lifts.\u201d \u2018At Loigh?\" \u201cThat 1s 16, madam.\u201d \u201cAnd when will you go from Leigh?\u201d she orled indignantly.\u201cDaybreak tomorrow,\u201d he answered.\u201cYou leavo {t to me, mistress, '\u2019 he continued in a tono of rough patronage, \u2018and you will seo your good man before you ox- pect it.\" \u201cBut, man,\u201d she exclalmed, tromb}ing with impotent rage, \u2018did not Mastor Bortram engage you to bring me across whenever I might be ready?Aye, and pay you handsomely for it?Did be not, sirrah?\u201d \u201cTo be sure, to bo sure!\u201d replied the giant ummmoved.\u201csing seamanship, and not going to sea in a fog, if it please you.\u201d \u2018It docs not please mel\u201d she retorted.\u201cAnd why stay nt Leigh?\" Ho looked up at the rigging, then down at tho deck.Ho set his heel ip the knot- holo and ground It round again.Thon he lookod at his questioner with a broad smile.\u201cWell, mistress, for a very good ronson.It Is thoro your good man 18 wait: ing for you.Only,\u201d added this careful konper of a secret, \u201che bade me not tell any one.\" Sho uttered n low cry, which might have boon an ocho of her baby's cooing nnd convulsively olasped tho ohild more tightly to her.\u2018Ho ls at Lelgh!\u201d she mur murod, flushing and trembling, another woman altogether.Even her volea was wonderfully changed.\u201cHo {a really at Leigh, you say?\" \u201cTo ho sure!\u2019 replied tho captain, with a portentous wink and a mysterlous roll af the head, \u2018Ho ia there safe enought Safe enough, you may bet your handsome fnco to à rush}ight.And wo wlll be there tonight.\" Sho started up with a wild gesture.For & moment sho had sat down on a cark standing besido her and forgotten our peril and tho probability that wo might nevor see Lofgh at all, Now, I have said, she started up.\u2018\u2018No, nol\u201d sho orled, strug- \u201cRook behind!\u201d J muticred between my act teath, gling for breath and utteraneo, \u201cOh, no, no! Lot us go at ones, We must start at oneo!\" Her volco was hiystorlieal in lta sud- don anxiety and terror ad tho conrolous Ness of our position rolled bnek upon her.\u201cCaptain, Nston, Ustent\u201d she plondod.\u201cLot ud start now, and my hushand wili glve you double, 1 will promise you double whatever ho sald }f you will chanoo the fog.\" I think all who heard her were moved, avo the captain only.He rubbed his bend and grinnod.Slow and heavy, be saw nothing In hor prayer save tho freak of a womau wild to get to ier man.Ho dled i ROCK ISLAND, (STA pot weigh hor promise nt a groat.ho was but a woman, Aud beings forelpner ho did not perceive a eertaln air of breed: ing which might Lave influenced a native.Ho was ono of those men against whose stupidity Father Carey used to say the gods fight in vain.When hu answered good naturedly: No, no, mistress, it is impossible.1t would not bo seamanship,\u201d I felt that wo might as well try testop the ebbing tide us move hit from his position.The feeling wus » maddening one.The special perl! which menaced my compan- tons 1did not know, but 1 knew they feared pursuit, and I had every reason to foar it for myself, Yet at any woinent, out of the fog which encircled us go closely that wo could barely sue the raft below, and the shore not at all, might come the tramp of hurrying feet and the stern hail uf the law.It wns maddening to think of this and to know that wo had only to cast off a ¥spo or two In order to escape and to know slso that we were absolutely help- loss, I expoctod thay Mistress Bertram, brave t& ho had shown herself, would burst inta a passion of rage or tears.But apparently | she had one hopo loft.She Joaked at mie I triod to think\u2014to think hard.Alas, I scomed only able to listen, An hour had gone by since wo parted from that raserl In the court, and we might expect him to appear at any moment, vengeful and ox- ultant, with n posse at his back.Yet 1 tried hard to think, and the fug presently suggested a possible course, \u2018look hers, ** 1 sald suddenly, speaking for the first time, \u201cif you do not start until the fog Ufts, captain, We May as well breakfast ashore and return presently.\u201d \u201cThat ls ss you please,\u201d he answered indifferently.\u201cWhat do you think?\u201d I said, turning to my companions with as much carelees- ness as I could command.\u201clad we not better do that?\u201d Mistress Bertram did not understand, but In her despuir sho obeyed the mation of my hand mechanically and walked to the side.The younger woman followed more slowly, so that 1 had to speak to her with some curtness, bidding her muke haste, for I was in a fever untll wo wore tloar of the Whelp and tho Lion wharf.It had struck mo that, if the ship were not to leave at once, wo were nowhere in so much danger ss on hoard.At large in tho fog wo might escapo detection for a timo.Our pursuers might as well look for a needle in a haystack as sock us through 16 whon once We were clear of the wharf.And this was not the end of my idea.But for the prosent it was enough.'Thero- fors I took up Mistress Anne vory short.\u201cCome, 1 said, \u2018bo guick! Let mo help you.\" She obeyed, and 1 was ashamed of my impatience when at the foot of the ladder sho thanked moe prettily, It was almost with good cheer in my voice and a rebound of spirits that I oxpiained as I hurried my companions across the raft what my plan was.The moment, wo wero ashoro I felt safer.The fog swallowed us up qulek, ns the Biblo says.Tho very bull of the ship van iehed from sight bofore wo had gone half a dozen paces.I had never seen a London fog before, nnd to me it ggomed portentous and providential\u2014a marvel ns great ns tho crimson hail which fell in the London gardens to mark lier majesty\u2019s acerssian.Yot after all, without my happy thought, the fog wonld have svalled us little.Wu had scarcely gone a score of yards before tho cautious trend of several people has- toning down the strand toward tho wharf struck my ear.They wers proceeding in silence, nnd wo might not have noticed thelr approach if the foremost had not by ohance tripped and fallen, whereupon ono laughed and another swore.With a warning hand I grasped my campanions' arms and hurried them forward some paces until I felt sure that our flgures conld not Lo seen through the mist.Then I halted, and wo ptond listening, gazing into one an- atber's strained oyes, while tho step camo nearer and nearer, crossed our track and then with a noisy rush thundered on the wooden raft.My ear caught the jinglo of harness and clank of weapons.\u2018It is the Watch, I muttered.\u201cCome, and make no noise.What I want is a lit tlo this way.I fancy I saw it as woe passed down tho wharf.\u201d They turned with me, but we had nat taken many steps before Mistress Anne, who wag walking on my loft side, stumbled over something.She tried to save herself, but failed and fell heavily, utter ing as who did so n loud cry.I sprang to her assistance, and even hofore I raised her I laid my hand Hghtly on her mouth.\u201cHush!\u201d 1 said softly.\u201cFor sufety's sake, mako no noise.What is the matter?\" \u201cOht\" sho moaned, making no effort to rise, \u2018my ankle, my ankle! Iam suro i have broken it.\u201d I muttered my dismay, while Mistress Bertram, stooping anxiously, examined tho injured limb.\u2018Can you stand?\" sho asked.But it was no timo for questioning, ana I put her aside.The troop which had passed wero within easy hearing, and jf thore should be one among them familiar with the girl's volce we might he pounced upon, fog or no fog.J felt that it wns no timo for ceremony and picked Mistress Anne up in my arms, whispering to the eldor woman: \u201cGo on ahead! I think I seo tho boat.It 18 stralght hofore youn.\u201d Luckily I wos right.It was the bong, and so far wall.Dut at the moment I spoko I heard a sudden outery behind us and know the hunt was up.I plunged forwnrd with my burden, reoklessly and blindly, through mud and over obstacles, Tho wherry for whieh I was making was moored in the water a fow feet from the edge.1 had remarked it idly and without purpose as wo came down to tho wharf and had even notlcod that the unre wore Iying in it.Now, If wo could reach it and start down tho river for Leigh, wo might by possibility gain that place and meot Mistress Bertram's husband.At any rate, nothing In tho world scemed go desirable to mo at tho moment as tho shelter of that boat.1 plunged through tho mud and waded desperately through the wator to it, Mistress Bertram gearco a whit bohind mo I reached ft, but reached it only as the foremost pursuer caught slght of us.I heard his shout of triumph, and somehow 1 bundled my burden Into the boat.I remember that sho clung about my neek In fear, nnd I hind to loosen her hands roughly.But I did loosen them\u2014in time.With ono stroke of my hunting knifo I severed the rope, and pushing off tho boat with all my strength sprang Into it ne 1t floated away nnd was In time, But ono sccond's delay would have undone us.Two men were already tn the water up to their knees, nnd their very breath was hot on my face as we swung out into tho stream.Fortunately 1 had had oxperlenco of boats an the Avon, at Bidford and Strat- ford, and could pull a good oar.For n moniont Indeed the wherry rolled and dipped ns 1 snatched up the sculls, but 1 qulokly got her in hand, and bending to my work sent her spinning through the mist, every stroke I pulled increasing the distance betweon us and our now unseen foes.Happlly wo wore below London bridgo nnd had not that dangerous pos.sage to make.The river, too, was nearly clear of craft, and though onoe and again In the pool a hnge hulk doomed auddenly neross our hows and then faded behind us Into the mist like somo monstrous phan tom, and wo told of a danger narrowly escaped, I thought it best to run nll risks and go nhead as long ns tho tide should ebb.It was strange how suddenly wo had passed from storm into calm.Mistress Anne had bound hor ankle with a hand- kerchlef and bravely made light of the hurt, and now the two women ent croneh- ing in tho stern watching mo, thelr heads together, thelr facen pale.The mist had closed round us, and wo were alone agaln, gliding aver the hosean of the great river that runs down to thu ses.1 was oddly struck by the strange current of Jifo which for a woek hed tossed mo from one adventure ta another, only to bring me tuto contact at length with these two and sweep me into the unknown whirlpool of their fortunes.Who wero they?A merchant's wifuand her sister flytug from Bishop Bonner's 1n- quisition?1 thougbt it likely, Their cloaks and hoods indeed, and all that I could see of their clothes, fell below such a conditlon, but probably they wero worn as a disguise.Their speech roso ns much shove it, but I knew that of late many merchants\u2019 wives bad become scholars ond might pass in noblemen's houses.Joven as in those days when London waxed fat and set up and threw down govern: nents, every alderman had come tu rido in mail.Nu doubt the wanten, watching mo in anxious silence, were as curious about mo, 1 still bore stains of country travel.Iwas unwashed, unkempt; my doublet was torn; tho cloak J had cast at my feet was the very wreek of a cloak.Yet I rend no distrust in their louka.The elders brave Gyca seemed ever thanking me, I never saw her lips move silently that they did not shape Well done!\u201d And though ! caught Mistress Anne scanning mo once or twice with an expression I could 1H interpret a smile took Its place tho moment her £aze met mine, Wo had passed but were stil) insight of Greenwich palace\u2014as they told mme\u2014when the mist rose suddenly lke a curtain rolled away, and tho cold, bright February sun, shining out, disclosed the sparkling river, with the green hills rising on our right hand.Here and there on its surface a small boat such a3 our own moved to and fro, and in the distant pool from which wo had como rose a little forest of masts.1 hung on the oars à moment, and my eyes were drawn to à two ruasted vessel which, nearly half a mile bolow Us, wns drifting down, gently heeling over with «he current as the crew got up the suils.\u201cI wonder whither she is bound,\u201d I sald thoughtfully, \u2018and whether they would take us on board by any chance.\u2019 Mistress Bertram shook her head, UT have no money,\u201d sho answered sadly.\u201cI fear wo must go on te Leigh if it bo anyway possible.You are tired, and no wonder, But what is it?\" with a sudden change of voice, \u2018What is tho matter?\u201d 1 bad flashed out the oars with a single touch and begun to pull ns fast as I could down the stream, No doubt my face, too, praclairued Iny discovery and awoxo her fears, \u201cLook hehind!\u201d 1 muttered be- twoen my set teeth.Sho turned and on tho instant uttered a low cry.À wherry like our own, but oven lightor\u2014-in my first glance up tho river I had nos noticed Iit\u2014had stolen nearer to us and yet nearer, and now, throwing aside disguise, was in hot pursuit of us.There were three men on board, two rowing and ono steering.Whon they saw that wo had discovered them, they hailed us in a loud voice, and I heard the steerman\u2019s feot rattle on the boards ns he cried to his men to givo way and stamped in vory eagorness.My only reply was to tako a longer stroke and pulling hard to sweep away from them.But presently my first strength died away, and the work began to tell upon me, and little by little they overhauled us.Not that I gave up at once for that.They were still somo 60 yards behind, and for a few minutes, at any rate, I might put off capture.In that time something might happon.At the worst they were only three to one, And their boat looked light and cranky and easy to npsot.So I pulled on, savagely straining at the osrs.But my vhest heaved and my arms ached more and more with each stroke.Tho banks slid by us.Wo turned one Lend, then another, though I saw nothing of them.I saw only the pursuing boat, on which my oyes were f1xed, beard only tho measured rattle of the oars in the rowlocks, A minute, two minutes, threo minutes passed.They had not gained on us, but thu water was beginning to waver be- foro my oyes; thelr boat seemed floating in tho air; there was a pulsation in my ears louder than that of (hoe oars; I struggled, and yet I flagged.My knees trembled.Their hoat shot nearer now, nearer and noarer, so that I could read tho smile of triumph on the steersman\u2019s dark face and hear his ory of exultatlon.Nearer, and then with a ery T dropped tho oars.\u201cQuick!\u201d I panted to my companions.\u201cChango places with me! Sol\u201d Trembling and out of breath as I was, I crawled between the women and gained tho stern sheets of the boat.As I passed Mistress Bertram ehe clutched my arm.Her eyes, 88 they mot mine, {lashed fire; her lips were white.\"The man steering!\u201d she hissed between hor teeth.Leave the others.He fs Clarence, and I fear him!\u201d I nodded, but still, as the hostile boat bore swiftly down upon us, I cast a glance round to see if there wore any help at hand.Isaw no sign of any.I saw only the palo blue sky overhead and the stream flowing swiftly under tho boat.TI drow my sword.The case war one rather for despair than conrage.The women wore in my charge, and, if I did not acquit mysclt like n mn now, when should 1 do so?Bah, 1t would soon ho over! There was an instant\u2019s confusion in tho other boat ns the crew ceased rowing, and, seolng my attitude and not liking it, changed thulr seats.To my joy tho man who bad hitherto Deen steering flung a curso nt the othera and camo forward to bear the brunt of the encounter.lla was on tall, sinewy man, past middle age, with a clean shaven face, a dark complexion and cruel vyes, So ho was Mastor Clarence!

on Sound Money.Cleveland, writing in reply to an into address a meeting there, says :\u2014 The situntion confronting us demands that those who appreciate the importance of this subject and those who ought to be the first to see impending danger, should no Jonger re- wa indifferent or over confident.If the sound money sentiment abroad iu the land is to save us from mischief and disasier.it must be erys- talized and combined and made itn- wediately active.It is dangerous to overlook the fact, 2s a number of our people which scant opportunity, thus far.to examine the question iu all its aspects, have nevertheless, been ingeniously pressed with specious suggestions, which in this time of misfortune and depression, find willing listeners prepared to give credence to any scheme which is plausibly presented ns a remedy for their uv- fortunate condition.\u201cWhat is needed more than anything else is a plain and simple presentation of the argument in favor of sound money.lu other words, it is a time for American people to reason together as members of a great nu- tion which can promise tbem continuance of protection and safety only so long as ita solvency is unsuspected, ils honor unsullied aud the soundness of its mouey uuquestioned.These things are ill-exchanged for the illusions of a debased currency and groundless hopes of advantages to be gained by a disregard of our financial credit and commercial standing among the nations of the world.\u201cIf our people were isolated from all others.and if the question of our currency could be treated without regard to our relations to other countries, ils character would be a matter of comparatively little importance.If the American people were only concerned in the maintenance of their physical life among tbemselves, (hey might return lo the old days barter, and in this primitive manner acquire irom eacb other the materials to supply the wants of their existence.But if American civilization were satisfied with this, it would abjectly fail in its high and noble mission.*In these restless days the farmer is \u2018empted by the assurance that though our currency may be debased, redundant and uncertain, such a situation will improve the price of his products.Let us remind hun that he wust buy as well us sell: that his dreams of plenty are shaded by he certainty that if the price of the things he bas to sell me nominally enhanced, the cost of things be must buy will nol remain stationary; that tbe better price which cheap money proclaims are unsubstantial and elusive, and that even if they were real and palpable.he must necessarily be left far behind in the race of their enjoyment, Jt ought not to be difficult to convince the wage earper that if they were benefits arising from a degenerated currency they would reach him least of all and last of all.In an un- healiby stimulation of prices an increased cost of all the needs of his bume must long be his portion, while he is at the same time vexed with vanishing visions of increased wages and easier lot, The pages of history and experience are full of this lessov.\u201cAu insidious attempt is made to create a prejudice against the advo- vAles of on safe and sound currency by the iusinustion, more or less di rectly made, thal they belong to fi- naocial and business classes and are therefore not only out of sympathy with the common people of the land, but of selfish and wicked purposes are willing to sacrifice the interests of those outside their circle.#1 believe that capital and wenlth, through combination and other means, somelimes

and cireumalan- ves.It is, however, only a difference in degree, since it is utterly impossible that any one in our broad land, rich or proor, whatever way be his occupation and whether dwelling in a centre of finance and commerce, or in a remote corner of our domain, can be really benefited by a financial scheme, not alike beneficial 10 all our people or that any one should be excluded from a common and universal interest in the safe character aud staple value of the currency of the country.\u201cIn our relations to this question, we are all in buswess, for we all bay and sell; so we all have to do with financial operations, for we all carn money and spend it.We cannot escape our interdependence.Mer: chants and dealers are in every neighborhood, and each has its shops and manufactories.Wherever the wanis of man exist business and finance in some degree ave found, related in one direction to those whose wants they supply, and in another to the more extensive business and finances to whicl thev sre tributaries.A flue- tuation in prices at the seaboard is known the same day or hour in the remotest hamlet.The discredit or depreciation in the financial centres of any form of money in the hands of the people is a signal vf immediate logs everywhere.If reckless discontent and wild experiment should sweep our currency from its safe support, the most defenceless of all who suffer in that time of distress and national discredit will be the poor, as they reckon the loss in Lheir ecanty support, and the laborer or workingman as he sees the money be has received

notwithstanding the fact that we are now in the adst of the fifth successive annual epidemic of influenza, doctors know little or nothing about it.There is, perhaps, some justification four this iu the circumstance that a good many inmate practitioners, who desire to pose as scientists in ex- celsis, have assured the public on many occasions, that science really cannot say what influenza is.But now let us ask ourselves with the downrighiness of mere common sense what is it that our profession really does know, nud kuow thoroughly, ahout inflhenza.In the first place, we know the disease wien we see it; we know also the jnjunious physiological and pathological changes il produces in the nervous system, the lungs, the liver and other organs of the body; we kuow bow, by prompt, early treat-

claim to know all these things, you claim to know everything about influenza.\u201d No; we do not.We do not claim to know precisely what ils cause iy; nor do we profess to know entirely how to prevent it.Bat do we know what the cause of cancer is; or of typlioid fever ; or of simple, or even of tnbereular meningitis, and a hundred other things?Moreover, in the matter of pre vention, can we prevent

doubtless the secret of their success, will be found very curions and interesting.In ove of the most celebrated of these stitutions in Geneva, for example, a hoy must first of all be at least fourteen vears of age in order to enter.After being admitted the sto- dent is first intioduced to a wood turuing lathe, and put lo work turning tool handles.This exercise lasts for several weeks, according to the beginner's aptitude.This is followed by exercises nn filing and shaping screw drivers and small tools.lo this way he learns to make for himself a fuirly complete set of tools.He next undertakes to make & large wooden pattern of a watch frame perhaps a foot in diameter, and after learning how this frame is to be shaped, he 13 given a ready-cut one of brass of the ordinary size, in which be is taught to drill holes for the wheels and screws.Throughout this instruction the muster stands over the pupil directing him with the greatest care.\u2018The pupil is next tanght \u2018to finish the frame so that it will be ready to receive the wheele.He is then instructed to make fine tools and to become expert in handling them.This completes the instruction in the first room, and the young watchmaker next passes to the department where he is taught to tit the stem- winding parts and to do fine cutling and filing by band.Later on he learns to make the more complex watches which will strike the hour minute, ete., and the other delicate mechanisms for which the Swiss are famous.\u2018 Wood Pulp.More than 50 per cent of the saw mil! owners to-day could make more money to sell their logs to be manufactured into wood pulp and paper than they ean possibly expect to secure through sales of the same in the form of manafactored lumber.The wood pulp industry bas far outstripped the manufactured lumber industry.One fact in the pulp and paper business is not always recognized by the owners of spruce forests.When a pulp mill grinds up a million feet of logs into paper produet, and the same is sold to the great newapaper corporations and printed upon day after day, that paper practically goes out of existence.Few think of eave ing a newspaper.The individual newspaper reader threws his paper after reading it into a wnste basket or kindles a fire with it, or it becomes the property of the old junk dealer, and practically passes out of exist ence.On the other hand, the piece of lumber which is manufactured goes into a substancial building, which lasts for generations.So (bat the great consumption of spruce for palp and paper really amounts to so much raw material taken out of the market forever, and practically wasted so far as any subsequent use to which it i may be applied is concerned, \u2014{ Man- ufac.Gazetle.The Value of Good Roads.From Harper's Weekly.Colonel Frances Vinton Greene has recently delivered an address on the subject of good ronds in the Botier- field Practical course at Union College.In the course of his remarks he showed that while Massschiuseits annually expends $66 a unle on roads outside of cides, New Jersey $43, New York $30.the average expenditure in the other States is much less.Jf it ia onlv $18 a wile, thus means a total annual expenditure throughout the country of $20,000,000, and much the larger part of this vast sum is literally thrown away on roads that are not only the cause of vexation and discomfort to those who drive over them, but that eulail actual loss upon those who are compelled lo carry their goods over them to the market or to the railway stations.The enormous drain made by bad roficls on uur resources was estimated by Colinel Greene, and bis figures will nut be doubted by any one who has paid any attention to the subject.He said: ©1t hus been proved, not only by wechanical experiment but by actual test, that the same force whieh draws one lou ob à tousily eauth road will draw four tous ou a hard Macadam road, On the improved voads of New Jersey loads of four to five tons are

session.Mr.Bennett (East Simcoe) in moving the address, began hin speech by a fitting tribute to the memory of the late Sir John Thompson, whose distinguished career he tiaced, in a few eloquent sentences, from his entrance to the Domivion Patliument to his tragic death in Windsor Custle.lu all the positions he beld from bis fist entrance into public life, he was a talented parlinmeotanan, an able premier und a true patriot, great in Imperial as well ns in Canadian statesmanship.Myr.Bennett referred 10 Sir Mackenzie Bowell, and expressed coufi- dence in bis leadership of the Couser- vative party.He also spoke of the vice-regal tour, and the esteem in which Lord and Lady Aberdeen were held throughout the Doimmnion.In dealing with the Manitoba school question, Mr.Bennett described the circumstances under which Manitoba entered Confederation and the powers with reference to education conferred upon the Province.All went well until the bon.member for Winnipeg and his associates began the unhappy friction which had been going on ever since.Tle subsequent course of litigation was indicated up to (be appeal to the Privy Council.All that bad been done was to hand over Lo the Manitoba Government and request them to redress the grievances of the minority, which he (Mr.Ben- pelt) earnestly hoped they would do, and thus remove this vexed question from the arena of Dominion politics.Dealing with the deficit, Mr.Bennett spoke of past Liberal deficits and past Conservative surplusses, and the important publie works carried out by Conservative administrations, It Was no surprise that the financial depression all over the world and especially in the neighboring republie liad affected Canada to a certain extent, but Canada had suffered less than any other country.No country had a fairer distribution of wealth ail a greater share of prosperity and comfort than the Dominion of Canada and this be ascribed in a great measure to the influence of the Nulional Policy, which had ruled for many years past and would predominate for many years to come.The Opposition had been crying for an opportu- vity to test the feeling of the country on the trade question.But why did they not take it in Haldimaud?.Mr.Laurier wae within a stone\u2019s throw of Vercheres, but bis silence wns most golden.Although Mr.Laurier was one of the members for Quebee, he allowed the contest in that cily to be fought out 10 a finish hy two Conscr- vatives.These, said he nre signs of the times.Ile then went on to show that the fall in prices had reduced the revenue.Ile closed expressing the hope that Newfoundland would be admitted to Confederation on terms honorable to both sides, and that the power of the Dominion weuld be supreme from the golden sands of British Columbia in the West to the rock bound cosst of the ancient col ony in the East.Mr.Belley seconded the speech in French.Mr.Laurier then opened his battery with a lengthy speech, saying, amobg other things, that il was notorious that ministers were divided into two factions, one fighting for a dissolution aud the other for a sce- sion.1f a session, they Lad a bitter pill to swallow.\u2018The Minister of Finance had to face an uglv defcit, Lat the majority was there and would be equal to the occasion, whereas if they had gone to the country the majority would have disappeared like snow under the rays of the April sun.Mr.Laurier was witty but failed to point out the policy of his party.He paid an eloquent tribute to the character of tlie late Sir John Thompson, which was appreciated on both sides of the House.Ile then denlt with the program laid down for this session.In regard to the admission of Newfoundland, he thought that Great Britain should settle the matter of claims hy \u2018Prauce before that colony should be admitted to Canadian confederation.With regard to the settlement of the Manitoba school question, he said the remarks of the supporters of the Government had been much more dis- ercet since the bye elections were over.Much more had been said by Sir C.I.Tupper.Mr.Onimet and Mr.Montague owing to the recent campaign.Mr.Ouimet-\"How much by you?\u201d Mr.Laurier did not reply, but con- linued by saying that Manitoba had been invited to settle the matter themselves.This be thought had not been done in a courteous mauner, and that the government did not agree among (Lemselves as to the meaning of the order.Under this state of affairs hie did not feel it bis duty to advise the advisers of Ilis Excellency.In conclusion Mr.Laurier complimented Hon.Mr.Fosier, leader of the House, upon his promotion, say- Îog, \u2018I am not suiprised at Lis promotion.Since tbe day he entered this House his advance has been con- stent and steady, and he has been elevated from post to post, it is not tbe language of flattery, bat of sober truth to say tbat he was always equal | to the expectation of his friends.He fs now promoted 0 a seat made illustrious, 1 will speak only of

benefit to the country, though of this I have faint bope and no faith whatever.\u201d Hon.Mr.Foster replied at length.In commencing bis remarks he said that 1t would be his endeavor in occupying the scat that has been filled by great men of hoth parties to do lis best and to so perform his duties thal he might retain the confidence of his own party, and, he would fain hope, of the gentleman opposite led by the hon.gentleman who had so kindly congratulated him.In reply to the inquiries of the leader of the Opposition, be would say that the Louse wae called in April, first, because the lamentable death of Sir John Thomp- sun disorganized the government not only as to its headship and membership but as to its composition as well.After that bad been the question spoken of on both sides of the House, ad- witledly an important question, wbich had passed through all the phases of the court, one which had gone through the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, one, the judgment upon which involved certain action upon the Government, which was its duty lo perform, and which it had performed.It was only on the 20th of January that the judgment had been given by tbe Judicial Committee of the Lords, and it was the 220d of February when the Imperinl order was sent.The order reached Otlawa in due course by mail, and seven days afterwards counsel bad appeared in prosecution of their appeal before the Privy Counsel in Ottawa.The Lear- ing, at the request of the majority, was postponed, and was not heard until the 5th, 61h and 7th of March.amd on the 10h the flnal order-in- council was passed, and the decision Lo call the House together was made wilbin 24 hours after.He considered thie un good reason why the matter should be disposed of before the burly-buily of the session began.Ho weutioned avother reason.They bad been in correspondence with the Government of Newfoundiand, with reference to a union of that uncient colony with Canada, The conference wus called, met, and was nearly completed before Parlinment met.These were all good reasons for postponing the meeting of Parliament.The lender of the Opposition had complained of the bill of fare as being slim.Ir so the session would be the shorter.He pointed out that sessions before this had been called in March nnd April, soit is no new thing.Mr.Laurier had intimated (hat it would be an unthinkable thing that the Government should have a mind of its own.aud attributed the lateness of the session to want of stability of purpose.If this were true, then the Government might be found in good company, a8 he had a suspicion that his bon.friend had found himself in that position very many times within the last two years, and he questioned if he had a wind of his own on the important matter they had just been discussing.If he had he had cer- tninly been very crafty in keeping it to himself.IIe had excused himself on the ground that he was not expected to advise His Excellency ; very true, but the electorate might properly expect that the hon.gentleman would advise his constituents as to his views on the public questions of the day.They could do very well for years to come without his advising His Excellency, Lut they did ask him to make up his mind on this and sundry other questions, and let the people of Canada know just where he and his party stood.\u2018The hon.gentleman then referred to several other points touched upon hy Mr.Laurier, among others the depression in trade which he attributed to the national debt, the tariff, &c.To this Mr.Foster replied with a vigorous statement.\u201cIf there was ope thing that Conservatives did claim, and which was based upon the experience of this country, it was that the National Policy had kept the country steady and strong (applause) in the midst of four years of commercial depression, greater and more far reucLing in its consequences than any depression that had occurred in the last 25 years fn the history of the world.This was whut they stood upon, and were willing to be judged in tis respect.If the hon.gentleman's panacea was ag, be had said, free trade 8s iL was practiced in Great Britain, aud lie denounced the National Policy ns unable to ward off, but indue- ing depression, they would ask him, by-and-hye, for a satisfactory explanation of his theories and 10 point out why it was that in the greatest and almost the only free trade country in the world there was to-day and had been tor the past four or five years a series of depressions in agriculture utknown in the previous history of that island, and which was exercising more anxious thought among the siatesmen and economists of Great Britain than any other question that was before the public, He was followed by Sir Richard Cartwright, who wade à flerce attack on the Government, Sir C.H.Tupper replied trepch- antly to the dismal notes of the Oxford representative, and tbe House rame Hdi 45 tt man tas cette adjourned at 10.35 p.m, eh date at ethene sia Cabin RA ve ii 2 2e Pétain Parliament Opened.The Afth session of the seventh Parliament of (he Dominion of Canada was opened by the Governor General, Lord Aberdeen, with (he vsual formalities.The following is the Speech from the throne : Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate : Gentlemen of the House of Commons : It is with much satisfaction that I again bave recourse to your advice and assistance in the administration of the affairs of the Dominion.8Iit JOIN THOMPSON.By the sudden and lamented death of ihe late Right Hon.Sir John Thompson, Canada has sustained a grievous loss.The deep and heartfelt sympathy expressed by Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, and the manifestations of sorrow with which the distressing intelligence was received throughout the Empire, as well as tokens of esteem and respect everywhere paid to the memory of the deceased statesman, have heen greatly appreciated by the people of Canada.THE FRENCH TREATY.Satisfactory assurance having been received from her Majesty's Govern.went respecting the interpretation of certain clauses in the treaty of commerce with France, ratifications will he exchanged as soon as the necessary legislation hus been passed.COLONIAL TRADE RELATIONS, The recent action of the Imperial Parlisment enabling the various Aus- tralasiny governments to enter into preferential trade relations with the other self-governing colonies of the Empire, sftords gratifying proof that lhe suggestions of the colonial conference are being favorably entertained by her Majesty's Government.THE QUESTION OF TIE SCHOOLS.In conformity with a recent judgment of the Lords of the Judicial committee of the Privy council Lo the effect that the dissentient minority of the people of Manitoba have a constitutional right of appeal to the Governor-General-in-council against certain acts passed by the Legislature of the province of Manitoba in relation to the subjeet of education, I huve heard in Council the appeal, and my decision thereon has been comwunicated to the Legislature of the said province.\u2018I'he papers on the subject will be laid before you.CONDITIONS OF TRADE.The depression in trade which bas prevailed throughout the world for the pust few years has made itself felt in Canada, hut fortunately to a less degree than in most other countries.Although this has not resulted in any considerable decrease in the volume of our foreign trade yet owing to low prices and recent reductions in and removal of taxation it has been followed by à serious decrease in revenue derived from customs and excise.In orler to produce cquilib- tiam between revenue and expenditure for the coming year, it will be necessary Lo observe Lhe greatest pos- gible economy in tbe appropriations for the various branches of the public service.118 EXCELLENCY'S TOURS.During the period that has elapsed since the last session of Parlinment 1 have had an opportunity of visiting many portions of the Dominion, including the Maritime provinces, Manitoba, the Northwest territorics and British Columbia.Throughout these tours I have heen impressed and grat.ifled by manifestations of abounding loyalty nud public spirit ; and notwithstanding the phase of trade depression already referred to, I observed everywhere unmistakable signs of that confident hopefuiness in the future, based on a thorough belief in the greatness of the resources of Canada, which is one of the characteristics of her people, and which furnishes a good augury and pledge of further development and progress.CONFEDERATION WITH NEWFOUNDLAND, The Government of Newfoundland having intimated ils desire to renew negotiations looking to the ad mission of that colony into the Dominion of Canada, a sub-committes of my advisers have recently met in conference a delegation from the Island Government, and discused with them the terms of union, It will be a subject of general congratulation if the nego- tialions now pending result in the incorporation of her Majesty's oldesl colonial possession into the Canadian Confederation.LEGISLATION, Messures relating to bankruptey and insolvency and to joint stock companies will be laid before vou.You will also be asked to consider certain amendments to the Insurance act, to the act respecting Dominion notes, to the Dominion Lands act, to the Indian act, to the Nouthwest Territories Representation act, ns also a bill tespecting the land subsidy of the Canadian Pacitic Railway company.ficntlemen of the House af Commons: I have directed that the accounts of the past year shall be laid before sou.\u2018Fhe estimates for the cnsuing year will also be presented.They have been framed with every regard to economy compatible with the eflle- iency of the public service.: Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate : Gemtlemen of the House of Commons : I now leave you to the discharge of the important duties devolving upon upon you with an earnest prayer that, being guided by the spirit of wisdom and patriotism, your deliberations may, under the Divine blessing, conduce to the unity and well-being of Canada, On the return of the Commons to their ciomber, Mr.Speaker made the usual formal announcement of the vacancies caused by the death of Sir John Thompson and Hon, Mr.Geof- Trion, and the acceptance of ofllce }; Messrs, Dickey and Montague; th issuing

of cighty- five.He bad been confined to ys bed for only a few weeks.The deceased gentleman was horn in Eng- nnd and came to this country sixty years ago, Entering the service of a bauk al Quebee.His life was a most active one and was marked with some bright successes and some reverses.He was one of the first to recognize the importance of the min- vral asbestos and for some years worked the mine near Danville.Mr.Jeffrey leaves a large family.\u2018Iwo daughters live in England, one being the widow of the late Colonel Web- ber of the British army in India, and the other of Dr.Hunt, an army

jous malters, has been secured, through the C.A.Davis Lyceum Bureau, of New York, to deliver his already famous new lecture, \u201cThe Bible\u201d, nt the IIowe Opera House, St Johnsbury, Vt., in the near future.\u2018The Bible\u201d is generally accepted as Col.Ingersoll\u2019s most notable and masterful platform effort and epitomizes hig best thought on the subject treated, being, lowever, in no sense a repetition of any part of his former lectures.ile spent the entire summer arranging the presentation of his historical evidences, scientific facts, comments and arguments, and those who have hewrd the lecture pronounce it the most powerful onslaught he he has ever made against the fallacies of revenled religon.Col.Ingersoll, during the past fifteen years, has made several assanlts npon the Bible in s®tions, but in this new lecture, for the first time, he reviews the entire work from Genesis to Revelations, displaying, il is said, a most profound knowledge of the books, their authorship, the obscurity of their authenticity and their incompatibility with established historienl eventa and the acknowledged truths of scientific research.Critivs declare that Col.Ingersoll\u2019s present lecture is really the most scholarly he has ever delivered.There is little hazard in predicting a right royal reception for the distinguished Jurist, litterateur and orator in this city.Excursion rates on Railroads - I recommen?Chamberlain\u2019s Pain Balm for rheumatism, lame back, spraing and swellings, There is no better liniment made.1 have sold over 100

her people well employed and no free trade doctrines affect them in any way.Indeed within the past fow years they have increased their protective acts, The German people are a careful, sensible, level-headed people, Let Canadians be guided by their good sense in holding to a national policy.THE EXPERIENCE OF IRELAND.Great Industries Under Protection\u2014Thor- ough Ruln Under Free Trade.Before the union of Ireland and England the former country had great manufacturing industries.For instance, when the union took place and Ireland's protective policy was destroyed sho had hands employed in Dublin, according to statistics, in the manufacture of woollens to the amount of about 5,000 and in the manufacture of carpets nearly 1,000 were employed in Dublin, The result of the union upon these Irish industries, followed as it was by the great influx of English goods, ia told by the history of that time in the fol lowing language.\u2018Thora are only 682 (instead of 5000) employed in all branches of the woollen industry in Dublin and its vicinity.So far as the carpot Industry is concerned, it can hardly be sald to exist at all.\u201d Another example of the froe admis 8lon of English goods npon the indus- trios of Ireland is given in the facts with regard to Cork, Before the union thers were 457 looms there and 2500 people in tho City of Cork engaged in manufacturing.Thirty-four years afterwards that 2500 had dwindled to 166 and a very short time after that period the manufacturers wero absolutely gone.Let us quote from tho history of the times again.\u201cTho most fatal effacts have followed because of the destruction of our tariff, and the promature withdrawal of tho protective duties, whereby Iroland's industries have been left open to a fruitless competition against the overwhelming capital and influonco of England Before the withdrawal of protection about 160,000 people wore making their living and acquiring r competency out of tho manufactures of this country, These now are wholly thrown upon charity ; our cotton industry is gone; our woollen industry has disappeared ; our looms are silent.No doubt the union willcontribute to tho greatuess of the Empire and possibly to the safety of Ireland but tho influx of English and other goods from the continent will for ever prevent Ireland possessing prosperous manufacturing and laboring classes, upon which depends tho prosperity of the farming classes,\" Canadians, Tako Warning ! Canada has been getting hor industries established during the past 15 years.These industries have been established by our defensive policy stondy- ing the home market.Let us take down that defensive tariff and we should find the same destruction wrought.Tho enormous capital invested in the manufactories of England, of Germany, and of the United States, and the great power of those in- dustrics is ready to crush Canadian industries just as Ircland\u2019s industries were crushed before the greater power of English capital, France Learns a Lesson.Under all changes of government France clung to the commercial protective policy of Colbert and Napoleon down to a short time ago.That she advanced most rapidly in the development of every material interest is as clearly proved by the official returns to the Government as woll as anything can be.Manufactures increased ; labor was woll paid; the production of wheat increased; and agriculture was prosperous, Some idea of her progress may be had from the fact that in one period of twenty yoars during that time tho value of hor exports increased 181 per cent,, though the population had only increased five per cent.In 1860, however, France lowered hor tariff very greatly against England and tho trade botweon the two countries groatly increased.The result was, however, most unsatisfactory, her industries being most severely injured thereby, and Franco has returned to a high protective tariff.In support of this tariff the peopls of France are al- tnost unanimous and no amount ot persuasion would succeed in gotting them to return to a free trade or revenue tariff basis.Switzerland Tries a Low Tariff.The Swiss people may be said to bo tho most self-governing people perhaps in the world.For à long poriod the Swiss tried and made à sincere attempt to carry out the doctrine ot froe trade.For years this effort went on but finally they were forced by conscquent industrial depression to return to a protective system, which they did in 1885.A prominent Swiss asked recently as to bow long it would be before Switzerland should again try free trade, said: \u201cNot until we forget that we tried Ît a long time bafore.\u201d THE SENTIMENT OF MODERN TIMES.Is Protection Being Destroyed or is It Growing Stronger ?There is no need of us multiplying examples such as I have given, The fact is that the world outside of England is protectionist, Do some of my hearers say, \u2018\u201cThis is true, but light is shining in in recent years, and the modern view is in favor of protection?\" Well let ys see.Austria adopted protection in 1879; Russia increased her tariff fn 1877 and in 1881; Germany, as we have shown, put up her walls higher in 1878; France increased her tariff in 1882 for purely protective purposes; Spain did the same in 1877 and 1882; Greece adopted a high protective tariff in 1885, and Switzerland in the same year; Sweden and Norway followed suit in 1887 and 1888; Italy began protection to her agriculture last year ; the British Colony of Victoria in Australia had a general election last year and out of 79 members in a contest in which the trade question was tho main issue, there were 65 protectionists and 14 free traders elected.Then on the top of ali this comes the sweep out of Democratic Tariff Reform Free Traders in the United States only two or three months ago.If, after these historical facts which I have given, there is any comfort for the men who think that protection is on the wane in the world, they are welcome to that comfort.Is not tho fact however just as Lord Salisbury stated ?\u201cThat we live In an age of à war of tariffs, that every country has its weapons and we cannot fight unless we have our weapons too.\u201d Liberals say \u2018never mind the experience of ages and every other civilized country with the exception of England, but lot us throw away our wea- pous.\u201d Conservatives say \u2018Our own experience and the experience of other countries teaches us that we should stand by & dofunsive tariff.Let us hold our own markets until other nations are willing to reciprocate by opening thelrs\u2014which think you is best and wisest ?Two Teachers.Electors, you have two teachers before you.The one teacher is the teacher of history and the experience ot all countries in the various ages.That teacher warns you to stand by a defensive policy.The other teacher is the Liberal party, or rather politicians who want to get into office in that party.These men ask you to follow them in the pursuit of some will-o-tho-wisp.Remember, elactors, thelr policy is a diffarent one each election.Remember that In the last five years they have had as many different policies and each timo they have told you that the sure, and safe and only remedy for Canada\u2019s ills, was the policy which they were at that timo supporting.Tho policies of a few years ago are all forgotten by them now.They have a new fad now, and as usual they are telling you it is the only thing that could be of use to Canada.Ask yourselves, please, this question.Why have they changed policy so often?las their chango come from conviction?If so, then their convie- tions of other days must have been badly founded and adopted aftor very immature consideration ; but the fact is, they have been speaking to you not from conviction, but they have heen trying this and that and every other ery for tho purpose of getting into power.That isjust what they are doing now.Can you trust a party who will resort to such tactics and who place their desire for office above everything else.Free TRADE BRITAINS DISTRESS Lon 00N -Feb.25.\u2014 James Keir Hardie M.P.had, artother hearing, to-day hefore the House of ammon Comrniiieg ShiEl of the unemfler \" .ve fo He said.thatthe distress was 50 widespread hat a A say hE ar he eeds of the Shaper Soli Ve i = LW y ate! p= &™ 1 Say IA i ;
