receptions, balls and banquets follow one another in quick succession.With the restoration of the normal currents of business and social life, there is some danger of forgetting the lesson so vividly brought home to us during the latter half of last vear.That lessonis that the prosperity, health and lives of the citizens of Montreal can F only be secured\u201d from the peril Y of recurrent epidemic by unceasing vigilance.The pest, which has now exhausted its fury because it has exhausted its fuel, will be ready to recommence devastation just so soon as neglect gives it opportunity.In a few days the annual recasting of civic committees will take place, the present + Board of Health being dissolved.1t will be the weighty duty of the new Board to thoroughly complete the work of the Board now in office.That work, in so far as it refers to the prevention » of smallpox, consists in the continuation of house-to-house vaccination to the end.Prosecutions for refusing the great safeguard have been chiefly con.tined to parents declining to protect ~~ theirchildren, these prosecutions should \"be extended to every individual who refuses protection for himself.Anti- Yaccinators with families are usually found with vaccinated children.Let these gentlemen be taught their \u201camenability to the law.Right when -.it takes pains to be strong can severely \u201cpunish quackery however mueh swollen by enswathements in a purloined flag of liberty.We have had statistics, English, French, and from many foreign lands as to the value of vaccination, but none B 80 striking as those of the Montreal 5, records for the recent epidemic.Its 4 victims were chiefly in two wards\u2014 \u2018 neither of them the most populous \u2014whose residents objected to vaccination.In the face of these home facts the lurking opposition to the prophiy- lactic, on the part of certain physicians and their followers is simply murder; chiefly too, the cruel! murder of the infants of ignorant and misguided parents.A favorite method with the opponents : of Jenner's great discovery is to confuse E the unquestioned value of pure air, ; cleanliness and good drainage with the necessity for the specific safe guard vaccination against the spe cific\u2019 poison smallpox.The two specially afflicted wards of Montreal \u2014 during the late pestilence.were perhaps \u2026 better in general sanitary conditions \u201cthan other low-lying wards, subject to all the unwholesome effects of periodical inundation.Yet Point St.Charles vas almost exempt from a plague, which \u2018carried off in the city proper à population equal to that of Lachine.Vaccination careful, thorough, persistent, is the prime duty of the new Board of Health.Other duties devolve on other of our sitizens.At the approaching session of the Quebec Parliament a health bill is to be presented providing for the regis- y tration oË births and the vaccination of infants.Opposition will be made thereto, and must be met.It -48 the interest and duty of Montreal\u2019s railway, manufacturing and merchant princes to use their influence rei $0 hive the Bl passed in its integrity; A vast fund of influence lies for the most part dormant and unused in this busy metropolis.Here is an occasion worthy îts arousal in self-protection, or everithiñè the élv auffara in 1RR8 it will pass through again in a very few years.When a stolid snd faltering City Council were verbally minimizing the pest last Summer, and khew not how they should begin to stay it, the first blow was struck when the presidents of our great transportation lines, banks and vast manufactories bestirred themselves and personally urged in the Council Chamber measures of war on the plague.Public servants require reminding from time to time of the gravity of the interests conmunitted to their keeping.Let it not be said that the men who in their individual enterprises have made Montreal what it is shall, by neglect to exert their due influence as citizens, permit the city to lapse into a swept and garnished home for an ever recurrent angel of death.ST.MARY'S WARD.The opposition to Ald.Roy in St.Mary's Ward, like the opposition to Mayor Beaugrand\u2019s candidature for the Mayoralty, is due entirely to the prejudice created against him among the least educated classes by his sensible and courageuus course in connection With vaccination and isolation.The mortality from smallpox during the late epidemic was greater in St.Mary's Ward than in any other ward in the city.It is quite safe to say that but for Ald.Roy's exertions many of the people who are now opposing him would have fallen victims to the epidemic.All the intelligent electors of St.Mary's Ward will support Mr.Roy, not only from a sense of gratitude for past services, but because his action during the epidemic has shown that he-possesses rare qualifications for the otfice he now fills.He has intelligence and he has-a spirit of independence such as few of his confreres can boast.Popularity is naturally dear to every public man and it is seldom that a public man is found who prefers duty to popularity.Alderman Roy thought more of the lives of his constituents than he did of their votes.The stecessful results of vaccination and isolation must have convinced even some of the people who broke Alderman Roy's windows that he was right and that they were wrong for once.We trust that there is enough Jpn 1h St Mary WA 0 secure Alderman Roy\u2019s re-election.Those who realize the value of the work done by the retiring member for the ward ought to show their appreciation by working to secure his triumphant return.ST.ANN'S WARD, The meeting at Point St.Charles last night would seem fo indicate that Alderman McShane is more popular than ever among his constituents.This is a very natural result of the persecution and coarse abuse to which Alderman MeShane has recently been treated by some of his opponents.A man who has been as popular as Mr.McShane has been for many years cannot be got rid of by calling him hard names.Before the election is over Mr.Kennedy will regret the intemperate language he used towards his epdonent.His speech not only was calculated to create sympathy for Mr.MeShane but also went far to show the speaker\u2019s own unfitness for public office.The persistent declar- | ations that Mr.McShane is not rich enough to be an alderman will not -do him any harm among the electors-of St.Ann's Ward.But the intense anxiety of his opponents to disqualify him by legal proceedings would seem to indicate that they have little hope of getting rid of him in any other way.If the elections were held to decide whether candidates held the property qualification or not there would be some exeuse for raising the question of Mr.McShane\u2019s qualification.The election next Monday will be held, not to settle how much property the candidates own, but which of the two the people of St.Ann's Ward want to represent them in the City Council.We are assured that Mr.MosShane is duly qualified ; if he is not; opponents can easily prove the fact by legal proceedings.If there was any truth in the allegation it should have been proved long ago, not trotted out to do duty at election times.NOTE AND COMMENT, Ontario, [From La Justice.)

the incompetency of 3 amateur actresses in general.Among the passés anything we have yet been able to do.-{ men.Mr.Elliott as Jack Deedes, the harassed author of a pantomime, was good, and Mr.Tuomas as Captain Tom Robinson gave a killing rendiilon of the lite guardsman\u2019s efforts bistrionically.But best ot all was Mr.Weedon Grossmith as Lord Arthur Somersault; thts is one of the most laughable bits of comedy seen at the Academy for a long time.Lord Arthur's laugh and * ounception of his part\u201d are things to be remembered.Of the company, as a whole, we may say that it is a pleasure to see weli-bred people on the stage, and to hear lish so wall spoken as It was last night.We cordially recommend u uight this\u201d wéëk at tne Academy to those who wish to enjoy a hearty laugh, The Centre Ward Municipat Election.Jo the Editor o!

of a Frozen Indian.A few weeks ago an Indian who lived near Pogamasing, a station ou _the Canadian Pacific Kallway, a little over SUU miles west of Montreal, died under circumstances which called for an iuvestigation.Ihe coroner for the district was notilied, but other duties prevented him at ing nt once.In the meantime, asthe best mode of preserving the body, it was reared up asrninst the side of the shaniy which setved to accommodate the raïlway employés at that point, and the weather beingy very cold, the corpse was sperdily frozen ha and stil.About two weeks after the occurrence a prominent official of the Eastern and Ontario divisions of tbe Canadian Pacific Railway in the course of his official duties had occasion to stop All at Pdjaniasing on à night en the thermometer was a long way below zero.Noticing the Indian, apparently standiug outside the shanty, he insisted on his receiving accommodation inside, not knowing that the man was already dead, and the men, never Lmagining tha: he was ignorant of the fact, compited with his request, but not caring to bave the dead body near them placed it in the guest chamber, where the official slept.The extreme cold ab enormous fire beings kept up 1a the shanty, and under the influence of the heat the body soon thawed out.The official being tired his labors.had almost ab oncgalier reaching his couch tallen into n \u2018profound slumber, lasting for a few hours.ko borror ou waking atout midnight he saw by the flickering light of ihe shanty fire the body of the defunct Indian dunl!£ collapsing and sinkins on to the floor of bis room.r

his caltityr to one of the men in the shanty he first learned the truth.The body was at ance takeh out of the bullding and again reared up alongside the oud of the shanty lo awalt cumming of tho coroner, and tho inmates retired tn their couches to rest.The horror of baving been tn the same room with the corpse of an Indian for sone hours, however, robbed the oftivial of his sleep for the re-

on whose white face the husdband\u2019s tears fell fast when he first looked upon it, feeling, it may be, an inner consciousness of remorse as he remembered that all his heart had not been given to her.But he' had been Kind, and tender, and considerate, and he folded her children to his arms, and felt that in all the world there was nothing so dear to him as his otherless little ones.The next day they left Florida for the eak hills of Vermont, where the Wintry winds and drifting snow seemed to how! a wild requiem for the daud woman, whose body rested one night in the old home where the white-haired father and mother wept so piteonsly over it, and even Aunt Nancy forgot Lo care for the tracks upon her clean \u201ccame in kitchen floor; as the -vi with words of condolence and sympathy.Beatrice was with the mourners who stood by the grave that wild Janua day when Moltie Morton vas am i and she gave the message from the to the husband, who t like a child when re saw his wife laid away under the blinding snow, which, ere the closa of the day,covered the grave in one great mountain drift, N Both Everard and Rossie had wiit{en to Beatrice telling her of Josephine's arrival at the Forrest House, and, with _ a feeling t she was in.Roth.say, she started for home the day after Mollie\u2019s funeral.\u2019 CHAPTER XXXIX.HOW THE TIDEEBBED AND FLOWED IN ROTHSAY.Josephine had resolved to be popnla at any cost,and make for lierself a party, and so good use had she made of her time and opportunities that when trice arrived the weaker unes, who, wit Mrs.Rider at their head, had from the first espoused her cause, we ually gaining in numbers ; while the better class of people, Everard's friends, were inning to think more kindly of tlie y of the Forrest House, where an I.entire new state of things and code of ~~ \u2014 Axie had, + tely after laws had been inaugurated.of vacated immedia y __ Rossie\u2019s departure, and Josephine had _ been wise enough net to ask her to remain.She knew the old 58 Was strongly prejudiced against er, ang was glad when she departed, aud = bundle, for the little house she had pur- eh in town, where she could be near *\u201cher bos, and wash and mend hisclothes and fight for him when necessary as lt sometimes was, for people cou d not.easily understand his indifference to the beautiful creature who was conducting herself so sweetly and modestly, an whom women ran to the windows see: when she drove by in the pretty phacton which, through Rossie\u2019s infla- ] she managed to get from Tvetatd, \u201cor \u2018rather, from the Forrest estate.It is true.the horse did not suit ber.It was too old and slow, not at ail like the spirited animal-she used to drive with Captain Sparks at her side in Holburton, but it was an heir-loom, as she called it, laughingly, raised from a s of horses which hal been in the family for years, and was so steady that Mr.Forrest.was perfectly willing to trust hor with it; and each day she drove around the town, showing herself everywhere, bowing to everybody, high and low, and.because she had\u2019 heard that Miss Belknap used to do so, taking to drive the sick and infirm among the T and _meedy, to whom she was all indness and sympathy.With this el however, she did not stand as would almost seem as if they were gifted with a special insight, and character aright; and though they ac- oepted what she offered them, they did rot believe in her, and privately among themselves declared she was not a lady born\u2014or a fitting wife for Everard.Agnes never appeared with her in public, and was seldom seen at the house ; when people called.\u201cShe was very shy | and timid, and shrank from strangers,\u201d Josephine said, to the few who felt that _ they must ask for her,and who accepted the excuse and left Agnes free to become in Rothsay what she had been in Holburfon, a mere household drudge, literally doing all the work for the colo woman whom Josephine employed and called her cook, but who was wholly incompetent as well us indisposed to work.So the whole In care.devolved on Awies, Who took UC up her burden without a word of prot d worked irom morning ui night, while Josephine louns in her own room, where she ind her meals more than half the time, or drove throngh the town in her phacton, managing 2\" ivy to pass the office where Everard tolled: carly and late in order that he Aight hävé.the means te support her : wut touching a dollar of itoseic's + 3 i i ortune, (To do Continiedé a -
