nu \s Portugeseâ€" One Englishman can whip all these." THE DEATH OF NELSON. during the fight, was kept as secret as pos- sible, with a view to avoid dampening the ardor of the men, but the sad event was gen- erally known before evening. Nelson was very .muchalgelnxed by till his nemamm good reason. as he wad known to send ofi to Algiers and Tangier for fresh food and fruits for the fleet, while cruising in .that region, and would do all in his power for the comfort of his men. It is said that when he was struck down, Hardy, his captain, asked him if he should send to Collingwood, giving him command of the fleet. “ No," replied Nelson, ‘ TRAFALGAR BAY. 0n the evening of the 20th Oct, 1805, Mr. Holbrook says the English fleet descried the lights of the enemy, and the next morning the whole fleet was Within sight. The French Admiral commanded a force of 33 ships of the line‘ and 7 frigates, Nelson having 27 liners and 4 frigates. During the course of the morning the two fleets approached each other, the English advancing in two parallel lines, the larboard line, in which the Orion was sixth, being led by Lord Nelson’s ship the Victory. while Admiral Collingwood led the starboard line. Between 8 and 9 o’clock the Frenchman fired a shot or two in order to try his distance, but it was not until noon that the fight began. Mr. Holbrook’s vessel. the Orion, did not come into action for some little time after. Passing between two vessels which were engaged in battle. the Orion chased a large Spanish liner and after The 21st October, 1880, was the seventy- fifth anniversary of the great naval b.ittle of Trafalgar Bay, in which Admiral Nelson, in command of the British fleet, fought and deâ€" strayed the combined fleets of France and Spain, capturing a large number ol vessels and prisoners of war. Some time since it was stated in the press that the last survivor of that battle had recently died, but on in quiry, a. SPECTATOR representative discovered that a resident of Hamilton. R. HOLBROOK, 0F STINSON STREET, had been engaged in that action. Mr. Hol- brook is now over eighty years of age, but shows no aigusof mental decline.and very few of bodily decay. He is in full possession of all his faculties, cheerful andalert, and still takes an interest in the pxoblems oi the day. He is an ardent ADMIRER 0F BEACONSFIELD, and believes his policy in respect to the East- ern question to have been the correct one. In his opinion Gladstone is personally a fine man, but has not grasped the correct idea in his dealings vfith the Turk. Mr. Holbrook went to see with the fleet in May, 1805, ship- ping from Portsmouth, Eng., on the Orion, commanded by Captain, afterwards Sir Ed- ward, Codrington, and continued in service five years. The battle lasted until 4 o’clock in the afternoon, when such of the vessels as were able put to sea, although Nelson had ordered the fleet to anchor, and the remainder made for: the nearest friendly port or anchorage. NEARLY CAPTUBED. During the night the Orion drifted very near to Cadiz, when four French frigates came out of the harbor there with the inten- tion 0t capturing her. but the appearance of one or two others of the British fleet com- pelled them reluctantly to return to port without the Orion. Mr. Holbrook says the Spaniards were cowardly fighters, and it was a. common song among the British tars 2 "On_e Frenchman, two Spaniolas, and a A HARD FlGH T compelled the enemy to lower his colors. The Spanish vessel sank soon after her sur- render, with over a. hundred dead and wounded on board.

They seemed to have no fear of danger. The first shot that struck the Orion was from a. 64-poundagun, and threw splinters in all directions. The shot did very little damage of itself, but one poor , fellow was so terribly out about the face with the flying splinters that he was disabled for the remain- der of the day. The engraving so well known as “ The Death of Nelson,” depicting the scam: ON THE QUARTER DECK of the Victory during the fight, is not, says Mr. Holbrook. correct in any particular. Dur- ing action a quarter-deck was kept perfectly clear of all dead and wounded in order to al- low room for the gunners to work, and as for the representation of half-naked soldiers lying around, the British tar is never allowed to oppear on deck in that condition. Mr. Hol- brook left the service, having received a BATTLE OF THE TRAFALGAR BAY MEDAL AND PRIZE MONEY, and came to America in 1845. He has been a resident of Hamilton for about 39 years. He appears to be good for a lpng While yet, and works amongst the flowers, fruit and vegetables in the garden at Ivy Lodge, the residence of F. W. Fearman, his sou-iu-law, and walks to divine service every fine Sab- bath. The well known American ship Three Brothers, formerly the steamship Vander- bilt. and one of the largest merchant vessels afloat, has been sold. to merchants in Liver- pool for £8,000. and she Will hereafter sail under the British flag. The vessel was built by Jeremiah Simonson, under the superws- ion of Captain Peter Lefevre, at Greenpoint m 1855. Her frame is of live oak and locust‘ and she is 320 feet in length, 48% feet beam. 29§ feet depth of bold, and 2,972 tons meas- urement. As the Vanderbilt she was employed in the New York and Havre Line until the com- mand of Captain Lefevre, until the beginâ€" ning of the Rebellion. when she was pre- sented to the Government by Commodore Vanderbilt. Her cabins were torn away fro the deck in a single night, immediately of er her return from a. trip to Hevre. and in a few days she was converted into a. war ves-w eel and. went to Fort Monroe, where, after‘ having her engine beam and smoke-pipe proA tected from the shots of the enemy, she was put in condition otherwise to meet an attack from the Merrimac, and to sink her if pos- 'ble. Gsptain Lefevre and Chief Engineer john Germain were transferred to the. Gov- ernment service with the Vanderbilt, and re- mained on board of her during the time she was Admiral Wilkes’ flag-ship in the West Gulf squadron. . After the Rebellion was closed the Van- derbilt was sold in San Francisco, fully equipped as a steamer, for $42,000, to the three Howes brothers, the firm of George Howes & 00., which failed recently. The vessel was entirely rebuilt and converted into a sailing ship in 1873, and was named the Three Brothers. She has been employed in the New York and California and the Liver‘ pool trade smce then, and has made some of the quickest voyages on record.â€"New York Tribune. â€"Br§s.d mad; frotfivhole wheat soaked befombeing coarsely ground is used in the French army.

A FAMOUS Hill] 1". “ NOT WHILE I vam, Death Mr. Justin McCarthy. one of the most pro- lific of writers, notwithstanding his engage- ments with magazine publishers and Parlia- mentary duties, for he represents an Irish constituency in the English House of Com- mons, found time to write what he terms “ A History of our own Time." He hasjust com- pleted the work in four volumes, the first and second having appeared about a year ago. The work will be closely scrutinized. but it must be admitted that Mr. McCarthy has shown great [fairness in some of the matters he treats upon, and although strongly leaning to the side of Home Rule, he is not unjust to- wards England. Alluding to the American war he says there is‘nothing to blame in the conduct of the English government towards the North at that time. The work is some- thing more than a compilation, yet it can scarcely be classed as a history. It will be welcomed, however, as a valuable contribu- tion to the historical lore of Great Britain, giving as it does a succint narrative of events from the beginning of Queen Victoria’s reign to the downfall of Lord Beaconsfield’s admin- istration and the return to power of Mr. Glad- stone. Mr. George Macdenald has taken to writ- ing fiction for the newspapers, and his first venture in this line is “ Mary Marston," an‘ovelto be published in the Manchester Weekly Times. The late Lbrd Brougham was not a poet, but the following lines on the death of his daughter show that he was poetic : “ 1_\_‘_[9unt, ge}1§10 spp'it _l tq‘the sphere f Whe1e {:1in and pain thou ne er can know, Ye: sometimes shed an angel’ s tem 011 those Who sor1 ow still below.

Mr. Turner, an English lecturer. who has spent some considerable tlme at St. Peters- burg, has been lecturing in London on emin- ent Russian Men of Letters. “ Forty Years’ Recollections” is a book an- nounced by Mr. Thomas Frost, who promises to say much about the prominent men of England. Since the appearance of Crabbe Robinson’s remarkable work of a similar charâ€" acter to the one in question, there has been a growing desire on the part of literary men to follow in the wake of the best delineetor of English literature that has appeared in a cen- tury. Mr. Swinburne never tires, when the muse is a laggard he betakes himself to prose, and now he is writing what he calls “ A century of English Poetry," which is to appear in the Fortnightly.

Dickens, surprising as it may seem, prepared a child’s history, which, if it had no other merit was “loudly” illustrated. Various other authors have tried their hands at condensa- tion but we have not yet seen just such an abridged history as we would like. Dr. Smith has given us a condensed Hume, and now Mr. McCalman sends forth what he calls, in a modest way. a summarized history. The principal defect pointed out in the new book is the absence of an index, which is certainly calculated to detract greatly from its Value. In a. recent work on curious Wills some odd extracts are given‘ which show that the people of ancient times were queer indeed.

The report of the Secretary stated that the engagement on the 24th of December last by the Executive Committee of Rev. Joseph Mc- Oloran for the work of the mission had proved most satisfactory. At the same meeting an appeal made by the Board to the Church for help had resulted in a liberal answer. Grati‘ tude was due in particular to Dr. Castle, who had been the means of securing $500 to the Society. Also to the Women’s Missionary Society of the west, which had sent in $1,300, and to that of the East, which had contribut- ed $600. The report in continuance referred to the details of the various mission works abroad, and in giving a brief account of the Indian stations urged the dispatch of fresh rerpers to the harvest. There was, too, a necessity for a school for the special prepara- tion of natives for the ministry. In the field 107 converts had been baptized ,and the total numbers of converts now in the care of the mission was 437. The total income of the Board for the year ending October 14th was. $8,948. ’l'hereport concluded with expres- sions of gratitude and. hopes for continued success. The report was received and adopted on motion. Whal the Church in Doing 101- Foreign I'llnions. At Friday‘s session, in Toronto, the Baptist Union resolved itself into a Foreign Missionâ€" ary Society, and Rev. Mr. Coutts read the minutes of the previous meeting, and also his report as Secretary of the Board. Mr. T. D. Craig, Treasurer of the Board, read the financial report, giving the total receipts of 38,948. as made up from the con- tributions from the Women‘s Missionary Societies, $1,920 ; beneficent scheme, $1,522 ; Trust fund of Philadelphia per Dr. Castle), 3500; special donation for c urch building at Akedo, 35500, and subscriptions from churches and individuals, $4,506. The ex- penditure for the year was 38,917, consisting of the outlay upon the work in India, $7.850; Rev. Mr. McCloran’s salary, $600 ; sundries, 3467. There was, therefore, a balance on hand of $31. (From the Winnipeg Times.) Another excursion party under the direc- tion of Mr. R. W. Prittie arrived at Point Douglas last night about six o’clock, having left Toronto on Wednesday last. the 13th inst. The reason of such a long trip is ac« counted for in the fact of there having raged in Central Minnesota. for nearly three days, one of the most terriific blizzards ever experi- enced in the North-West. Drifts to the height of from 20 to 25 feet had accumulated along the line of the St. Paul, Min- neapolis & Manitoba Railway, between Alexandria and Glyndon, Fergus Falls being about the centre of the snow area. There was little or none of it experienced at St. Paul, and no snow at all was seen from Glyndm to Manitoba. On leaving London, Ont., the party had four passenger coaches and 8. Pull- man car, containing in all 180 souls, together with a. baggage car. They had a splendid trip all along to St. Paul, and even afterwards until Alexandria was reached, at which point the cars ran into a drift, and on Saturday were completely snowed out of sight until dug out on Monday by a large force of men. Thgree engines and a. _enow plough arrived figafly’and after'mnsifiei'alrleu'w‘ork made a‘n opening some 40 miles to Fergus Falls, from which place the train left at midnight. The people of Alexandria as well as the officers of the company did their utmost for the com- fort of the passengers. Attached to the train, but not belonging to the party. was one car laden with French Canadians, bound for Crookston, who suffered considerably for want of food, but the generosity of those be- fore referred to in the matter of food and yuel carried those poor people safely through this very trying ordeal. A sense of relief was experienced by the excursionists as they approached Canadian territory and found it entirely free from the misfortunes that befel the people of Minnesota. The members of this party are to be congratulated that none of their number remained in American terri- tory, a fact that most of them seemed to ap- preciate on reaching Emerson. About thirty persons debarked there, and the remainder came on to Winnipeg. There was quite a number of women and children in the party coming to again consolidate households that had been disorganized for some time through unavoidable circumstances. Owing to a con- siderable amount of confusion at the ferry, the superintendent ordered the train to be run over the pile bridge direct into the city where omnibusses, hacks, etc., were in wait- ing to take passengers to the several hotels. Mr. Prittie returns to Toronto this morning andwill start this day week with his last party of the season, for the Northwest. Although discontinuing the conveyance of passengers, Mr. Prittie will still send a special messenger with his through fast trains until the 18th of December. The experience of the above party should forever silence Grit oracles from ex- tolling the advantages of Minnesota over 1 Manitoba as a field for immigration. ARRIVAL 0F PRI’P‘I‘IE’S PARTY ‘hren Du) u An improved innovation in locomotive con- struction was successfully tested on the Dele- ware and Lackawanna Railroad to-day. A special train, bearing prominent mechanics and capitalists, and drawn by the locomotive named Counterpressure, left Utica at ten a. m. and proceeded to Waterville, twenty-one miles distant. Here a train of six heavily loaded coal cars was attached, and, without the application of a single brake, was taken to Utica. The speed of the train was dimin- ished and stops made on down grades of seventy, eighty and ninety feet per mile. by the use of a lever, the engineer being able thus, unassisted, to slacken the speed of the train at will. The locomotive used is of the ordinary pattern. The power brought to bear against the piston is obtained and con- trolled by the use of an extm valve in the steam chest. By this steam is had direct from the boiler through a pipe which enters the steam chest where ordinarily the oil cups are placed. By this arrangement there is no need to reverse the cut-oi} lever, thereby ob- viating an immense strain upon the engines which attends the process known to rvilroad men as “ hauling over.” â€"Ristori made no use of her title as Coun- tess for advertising purposes when in this country. Modjeska, on the contrary, was extensively announced as a Countess, though she has dropped that pretention in London. During Neilson’s last tour here she asserted in interviews that she was the daughter of a Spanish nobleman, while .the fact is that she was of the humblest English parentage. The impression seems to prevail among foreign performers that Americans are admirers of aristocracy The latest story based on this idea' is that a leading actress. now on the stage in this country, is a daughter of the Duke of Devonshire. â€"“ Will you and your son occupy one room _?” asked a hotel clerk of a woman of 35 who arrived at Omaha. with a. boy of 16. “This is not my- son,” she said, with emphasis, “but my husband.

I would not have taken off my coat and gone to this work if I did not know that we are laying a. foundation in this movement for the regeneration of our legislative independence. Push on then to- ward this gaol, extend your organization, let every tenant farmer while he keeps a firm grip on his holding recognize the great truth that in so doing he is helping to break down English rule in Ireland." The city is filled The situation in Ireland is certainly grave. The following dispatch ’rom the correspondent of the New York Hamid, howeverhprobably gives an exaggerated view of the troubles, and should be taken with caution : DUBLIN, Oct. 26.â€"Ireland has not been in such an excited state for many years, and Dublin, which was slow to action, is now roused With the expectation of a stin‘ing win- ter. All feel that the country is on the eve of a great crisis. The agitation has become more than agitation. It is an open social re- volt, a movement to crush the ruling class of Ireland by intimidation and force. There is nothing to be compared with it since the French revolution. The prosecutions are only intensifying the bitter feeling of the agitators, and drawing to their side many who have hitherto disapproved their course. Messrs. F. S. O‘Donnell and Justin McCarthy, members of Parliament, to dayepriied for membership in the League on account of the prosecutions. It is also rumored that Mr. Shaw will resign from the Land Commission for the same reason. No one believes for an instant that the prosecutions will be successful; a dis- agreement is constantly anticipated. The excitement among the members of the League is not to be exaggerated. Their speeches since the prosecutions were threatened have been fierce and violent, characterized by intense hatred and contempt for the Government and the landlords Mr. Forster, who was once very friendly with Mr. Parnell, is now bitterly de- nounoed, and nicknamed “ Buckshot " yFor- ster. It 1s, therefore, no wonder that it is re- ported that he has resigned. That as yet is probably untrue, though it would be surpris- ing if a Cabinet crisis were caused by the Government. run ATTITUDE or ran LAND LEAGUE is one of fearless attack upon everything and everybody with the bitterness of desperation. Mr. Parnell at the Galway banquet on Sun- day evening furnished the Government with better grounds for prosecution than it had be- fore. Killen, one of the agitators arrested last year, said they had cast off allegiance to England. Ireland was hereafter one of the States of Amerlca. Mr. Parnell followed, and said that he wished to pay a. tribute to his countrymen abroad for their kindness to him while in America. His exact words were these: “ I feel confident if you ever call upon them (the Irish in America) in another field and another way THE STATE OF IRELAND. The Agitators Increasing in Boldness. SPEECHES BY THE LEADERS. with ALABMING aumoas, many of which are baseless, though the Government is awake to the fact that they have a serious social war and desperate men to fight. The Irish garrisons are being filled to their utmost capacity. The arrest of Mr. Henley, Mr. Parnell’s secretary, at Entry, is not a Government act, but is due to his naming at a public meeting a tenant who had taken a farm from which another had been discharged, and holding him up to execration. The sudden breaking out of disturbances in (Jerk seems to mark a series of regularly organized outrages there, which now exceed those in any other county. Rents are being fairly paid in many parts of Ireland, but wherever the Land League has extended its organization only “Griffith’s valuation” is of- fered by the tenants, and this the landlords have nearly universally refused. The con- sequence is that no rent is paid. The papers are filled with reports of outrages in the west and south, but not a third of those taking place are reported. The list of names 0 may possibly be modified before the inter- mants are sworn, but the list sent in is cor- rect so far as known, including, namely, Messrs. Parnell, Dillon, Bigger, L. O’Sullivan, Sexton. O’Reilly, O’Sullivan,Arthur O’Connor, P. O’Connor, Brennan. A. E. Egan, O’Sulli- van,- assistant secretary of the Land Loague, Kettle, Boyton and Bedpath. LAND LEAGUE MEETING. At an exciting meeting of the Land League today, Mr. Dillon presiding, the greatest de- termination was expressed by all present to keep a firm front and fight the prosecutors to the bitter end. Every reporter and correspond- ent was closely questioned before he was al- lowed to attend the meeting. Areporter pre- . tending to represent the Ulster Gazette was } ejected as suspected. He undoubtedly was a Government reporter. Mr. Dillon made a long speech, defending the policy of the Land League, and replying to the accusations that the League is responsible for the outrages. He said : “ Personally I do not believe there is any man in Ireland or England that has a greater detestation for assassination than I have. But I am not going to speak personally. I want to say the policy of the National Land League has been always dis- tinctly a policy of self-defenseI not a policy of outrage and crime. I claim that we have restrained the people from outrage. I claim that we have saved the lives of landlords and agents in Ireland this year, and so long as our organization holds it will prevent private attempts on human life, and, as far as possi- ble, will keep the people to this open and manly policy which has always been set before them bygthe Land League. But if- the Govern- ment break up an organization of this kind, and fill the jails of Ireland with leaders in whom the people put their trust, who have advised them to pursue a policy of peace, if the landlords and agents in Ireland then be- gin to feel the power of the rifle Of the assas- sin, then I say the blood be upon the Govern- ment and Mr. Forster and their insane advis- visers, who have driven them into a policy which may end by making Ireland a very hot place for the landlords.” Mn Egan moved the following resolution : “ That in the face of the threatened prosecu- tions of members of the Land League by the English Government, we call on the Irish race all the world over to answer such coer- cive measures by resolute organization for the purpose of defending the priciples and people of Ireland, and finally request Michael AGITATORB TO BE PROSECUTED THE WARRANT on which Mr. Healey was arrested: “ The Queen at the prosecution of Sub-Inspector Kennedy against T.

Whereas, complaint has been made on oach and writing that whereas the complainant, believing that on the 18th day of October said defendant did unlawfully attempt by threats and menace to compel Cornelius Manning to quit his farm at Cohn, and did also deliver to said Cornelius Manning 9. message threatening him with in- jury and damage unless he gave up said farm, this is to command you to whom this warrant is addressed to arrest said Timothy Michael Henley, and bring him before me or any other justice of said Court.” A warrant is also out for the arrest of J.

There is great excitement at Cork in con- nection with Mr. Healey e arrest Indig na- tion meetings are to be held by the farmers of the neighborhood, who are indignant with Mr. Barrett, the agent who is suspected of having forced Manning, the tenant, to swear information against Mr. Heale]. The police guard Barrett’s house, and he carries his rifle wherever he goes Ths words reported to have been used by Mr. Healey are, “If you don’t give up the Land League will visit you.

There is no wise and practical man in the country who will not echo these words from the Memphis Appeal: “ The schools should teach integrity with grammar, truth with arithmetic. Children are made to speak several languages. but are never taught to speak the language of truth. They are made to understand chemistry. but are never taught to analyze the awful chemistry of a. lie. What our country most needs is incor- ruptible integrity, and what We want in the school-room and in the family circle, is not more brain culture, but more heart culture.’. An English writer says that the reason that science is not more profitably studied in schools is that the subject is frequently in- trusted to men who have not been trained for their work as classical masters have been trained for theirs. Science must be taught not so much by means of text-books as by means of direct contact with the objects and force which it undertakes to explain. And the pupil must not always be told what he is to observe and what conclusions he is to draw from given premises. The function of the teacher should rather to be put him on the track by which he will be led to accurate results by his own efforts. The University of Denver has more than fifty students. Dr. Moore, the President, is a men sf great energy, and under his care the institution is rapidly taking useful shape. A correspondent of The Cincinnati Gazette called at the University in search of the presi-‘ dent. and “was directed to a small room where a professor and a workman in overalls were trying to set up a little monkey stove whose pipe was badly battered and a foot too short to reach the the temporary pipeAhole that had been fixed in the window. ‘Where will I find Dr. Moore ?’ I inquired. ‘That’s my name,’ said the workman in overalls, get- ting up from his knees. I was too much sur- prised to say much, but a laugh on my part and a. characteristic cordiality of greeting on his soon put me in harmony with the sur- roundings, and the Doctor pursued his work at the stove.” MADRID, Oct. 21.-- Forty days having elapsed since the birth of Infants. Mercedes two curious ceremonies, took place in the palace to-day on the occasion of the first ap- pearance in public of Queen Christina. Before ten o’clock this morning crowds of people assembled before the palace, and car- riages deposited many ladies wearing black or white mantillas. Ministers, generals, and diplomats followed in full uniforn. When they got to the galleries on the first floor, they found them filled with a brilliant com- pany and the Chapel Royal already occupied by marshals, judges, grandees, and the royal household. Many priests and cheris- ters clustered around the altar, which was splendidly lit up, and the Cardinal Patriarch of the Indies and the Primate were both ready with a cross borne aloft with pallium and holy water to Queen Christina. They all went to the door of the chapel to await the Queen, who appeared. preceded by grandees, gentlemen, lords and generals, all in full court dress. The Queen looked pale under her diadem and magnificent lace man- tilla. Her long pale pink train of satin and lace was borne by two dukes. The King was in marshal's uniform, and wore the toison d’or. The Queen took the Infants. Mercedes from the arms of her governess, the Duchess of Medina de las Torres, and knelt on a velvet cushion, holding her child, while the Cardinal , Patriarch read the gospel of purification over ‘ her. Then she arose and entered the church followed by the princesses, all in light blue satin trains and light mantillas. The King and Queen during the mass, which was beautifully chanted by the choir of the Chapel ltoyal, were under a dais of curious and an- tique tapestry three hundred years old. The courtyards and staircases of the palace were occupied by thousands of people eager to enter, but in vain. Directly after the Papal Nuncio arrived at the palace, with his suite, in state carriages, escorted by the royal horse guards and troops. In the courtyard he was received with royal honors. The Nun- 'cio was conducted to the throne room by the Lord Chamberlain, and there the Cardinal read to the King, surrounded by his ministers and courtiers, a papal brief, in which Leo XIII. expressed great sympathy for the Sover- eign of Spain, and sent his particular bless- ing. to the Queen and her infant daughter. ThezNunclo, accompanied by the King and his ministers, went to the chamber of Queen Christina, who was standing with the Princess and her ladies. The Infanta Mercedes was held in the arms of her governess, the Duch- ess Medina de las Torres. The Nuncio, alter a short address to the Queen, opened a splen- did alabaster and gold embossed casket, con- Brilliant and Interesting Ceremonieu‘ EDUCATIONAL NOTES- THE SPANISH BAB‘ mining two magnificent“ dresses-in satin, sev- eral beaatifully embroidered covers for cush- ions destined for the Infunta, several precious relics for the Queen, and also a. papal brief and relic for each of the infantas Isabel Eula- lie and Paz. The principal ialic, a cross of brilliants, was immediately hung round the neck of the Infarta- Mercedes. The anteâ€" chambers were crowded with the nobility and ladies anxious to see the papal presents. To- morrow Queen Christina. and Infanta Mer- cedes go in state to the Atocha cathedral for: a Te Deum. On Saturday a. levee will be held in the Palace, and a banquet of 120 cov- ers will be given in the hall of the columns to the ministers and chiefs of the diplomatic corps. â€"Uapital flows easily to Ulster when it recoils from Munster and Gonnaught. â€"-0f the three Irish peers murdered in the present century none have been abaentees. â€"â€"Horace Love married his living wife‘s sister. at Denman, Ga.., and goes to prison for bigamy. ~The London Economist is not very san- guine as to Mr. Thomas Hughes’ Tennessee experiment. â€"â€"â€"'1‘he editor of the St. Kits News will take his head in before Hallowee’n. â€" Somebody has paid hm slibscription to the Paris Transcript, and the editor prints an item concerning the singular circumstance. â€"A man in a.

METHODIST SUN DAY SCHOOLS- Mr. W. KENNEDY read the treesurer’s re- port, which was a most encouraging one, see- ing that the income exceeded the expenditure and there was a. small balance in the hands of the treasurer. The conferences had con- tributed $23 more than last year for the gen- eral Sunday School Fund. London confer- ence, which is by far the largest and most Wealthy, exceeds all others in respect to its contributions. Nearly one-half of the income had been distributed in grants to poor schools throughout the bounds of the church, the largest amount being donated to needy Sun- day schools in Newfoundland. The Board pays much attention to Sunday school librar- ies, and several hundreds of volumes have been read by ministers and other Sunday school workers which, when approved, are inserted in the “winnowed list.” From the said list superintendents of Sunday schools are recommendedfito select books for their li- hraries. OSHAWAl Oct. 22.â€"The annual meeting of the Methodist Charoh Sunday School Board was held here to-day. The Board consists of an eq ual number of ministers and laymen ap- pointed by't-lre General Conference and repre- sentatives from each of the annual conferences. The following were reported present: Rev. J. Potts, D. D., Rev. Alfred Andrews, Secretary of the Board, E. Barrass, M. A., N. R. Wil- loughby, M. A.. W. Kennedy, Treasurer of the Board, R. Brown and Johnson Harrison. In the absence of the President of the General Conference Dr. Potts was elected to preside. After devotional exercises, the general sec- retary read. (the annual report, which was a most elaborate document. There is an aggre- gate increase of 21 schools and4,229 scholars; an increase of 388 in the number of scholars who are learning the Connectional catechism; an amount of $12,442 has been collected by the Sunday school children for the work 0! missiors, and somewhere about 5,339 of the children have joined the church during the past year. Sixteen thousand are meeting in class. Theie were several other items of en- couraging progress referred to in the report. Applications were made from eighteen Sun- day schools in Manitoba, New Brunswick,snd other places for assistance in respect to books and Sunday school periodicals. Grants were made in every instance of new and old books and periodicals. ... ‘ 11 4,1,LJJ Annual Meeting 0! the The next meeting of the board is to be held at Galt on the first Tuesday in October, 1881l at ten o‘clock in the morning. The Board recommends that increased at- tention should be paid to the committing verses in Sunday school lesssons. The Board also recommended that the Connectional catechism should be taught more extensively, as there are a great number of schools in which the catechism is not taught. It was stated by several members of the Board that more might be done in the way of collecting second-hand books from Sunday school libra- ries with which to aid poorer schools. It was therefore resolved that an appeal should be made to all our schools for the said purpose. The Singular ilruggle to Save :1 Desperate Man. The ferryboat Alaska was entering her slip at the foot ofRoosevelt street, yesterday noon, when a tall man, dressed in black clothes, who had been staggering around the bridge, suddenly dived ofi, head foremost, into the water. At once there was great commotion on the boat and on the bridge. “ Stop herl stop her l” yelled the boat hands to the pilot. “ Get a boat hook ; get a ladder. Don’t run over him. Stop the boat." Women who saw the man jump screamed and turned pale; passengers in the cabins rushed out ; the bells jingled, and the boat slowly stopped. Meanwhile the man had come to the surface, and witnpowerful strokes swam toward the boatf At first it was thought that he was trying to save himself, and when he came within reach a boat hook was lowered to him. He would not touch it, but tried to get directly in the way of the boat; but by this time it was backing. Then a deck nd, by a "skilful thrust, caught the me. by the shoulder with the book. The coat was evidently new, and held well for a time, as the man turned and twisted and struggled to get loose. Finally the cloth gave way and the man. giving a powerful shove, swam away on his back toward the bridge.’ He was evidently an accomplished swimmer, and perfectly at home in the water. When near the bridge he turned on his face and speared him with another hook and brought him to the surface. He quickly shook him- self loose and again went under, while the air bubbles arose from his lips. Again he was fished up, and this time he was drawn so near the bridge that a stout fellow reaching down seized him by the collar. Then a lad- der was put down. The man would not climb up. Another man reached down and also seized him, and the next moment the would be suicide was dragged dripping from the slip. Strangely enough he did not appear ex- hausted. It was noticed that throughout he kept his mouth tightly closed. He was taken to the Oak street police station, and on the way he rubbed his head as if it pained him. At the station he gave his name as Charles H. Hayes. “ I guess I‘m about forty,” he said, in a dazed s ort of manner. “ I guess I was born in this country. I live in Boston. I don’t know how I came in the water.” He afterwards said that he was a sailor, just returned'from a long cruise, and that he had been on a p-0tracted spree. He was taken to the Chambers Street Hospital and treated for alcoholism.-â€"N. Y. Sun. A Young Man Claims Pay for Protecting a Young Ladv. Before J udge Dwight, in Supreme Gourl Circuit, at New York, on Tuesday, Charles Dean sued to recover from Theresa P. Belt for services rendered as an escort and general attendant. The court room was crowded with spectators. In his complaint Dean avers that while in .San. Francisco in 1878 he met the defendant, who engaged him to travel with her as an escort, and render her such service as should conduce to her safety, con- venience and comfort, and the protection of a large amount of valuable property, which she intended to take with her, and agreed to pay for such services the reasonable value of the same. Dean, who is a young man of fine appearance and of fashionable address, testi fied that under the defendant’s instructions he traveled as her brother, and escorted her to balls, receptions and parties in different cities of the Union, and also accompanied her to Paris, where he was discharged. One of h' duties was to carry with him $250,000 worth 0 diamonds when not in use by the defendant. The defense is a denial of any bargain and an assertion by way of counter claim that owing to an attachment procured by the plaintifl in the Supreme Court of Brooklyn, she was detained in this city at an expense of $300 a. week. The defendant, who is a. young lady about 26 years of age, and who appeared on the stand handsomely dressed in brown silk trimmed with golden braid and profusely decorated with diamonds and jewelry, testi- fied that she took care of the plaintifi qut of charity and in order to help him find friends. who, he claimed, resided in Europe. - The case was submitted to the jury at 4 o‘clock, and a sealed verdict was returned. ' -â€"There was a church fair at Muncie, Ark, and photographs of the young women who were to serve at the stands were displayed in the windows of the stores, including those who were in character costumes. A travelling burlesque company came along at the same time, and portraits of blondes in tights were placed alongside the others. Then the theatrical manager placarded the actresses’ pictures with : “ These artists have no con- nection whatever with the amateur perform- ance at the Baptist church, and can only be seen at Tabor Hall."
