The New York Tribune‘s correspondent says that Mr. Gladstone’e speech was adroit and conciliatory, but has occasioned general complaint because it contained no disclosures of policy and absolutely no indication of the progremme of the session beyond an explicit denial of repeated newe- paiper assertions that everything will have to give way to the Franchise Bill. The first regular Cabinet Council of the season took place yesterday, and it is learned. says the World, that the majority decidedly 1, favored the pushing of the London Muni- cipal Government Bill ahead of any other ALcndon cablegram says: At night the Guildhall was a blaze of splendor. The centre table ran along the southern side of the hall, facing the monument of the Duke of Wellington. The Lord Mayor, in his jewelled collar and robe of office, sat in the riddle in the chair of state. under a canopy decorated with the historic gold plate of the corporation. On his right was his pre- decessor, On his left sat Mrs. Gladstone, with a tiara of diamonds encircling her blue headdress. Beside her was the'Prime Minister, in the garb of the Master of Trin- ity House, a dark blue material enriched with gilt epaulettes, the sleeves enlivened at the cuffs with a facing of scarlet and gold. Then came Lord Hartington, the Earl of Derby and the Earl of North- brook, in the Windsor uniform of navy blue and gold. Among the d18- tx‘nguished guests were the French Am- baesador, With a breastplate of gorgeous gold embrmdery on his uniform, many ladies richly jewelled, the Master of the Rolls, and other judges wearing their wigs. Among the undietinguished guests were the Liverymen, Common Councillors, and a host of civic parasites. Americans were conspicuous by their absence; no. invita- tion was sent even to the legation of the United States. The representatives of other countries were heartily welcomed. The French and Chinese Ministers were re- ceived with equal favor. Mr. Gladstone paid marked attention to M. Waddington. The sharp fusillade of cheers which greeted the appearance of M. de Lesseps was drowned in a roar of plaudits which hailed the name of the Prime Minister when the Lord Mayor rose to propose the toast of the evening. The N.Y.ll"orld’s London special says : Mr. Gladetone’s statements at the Lord Mayor's banquet concerning the proposed Brltieh evacuation of Egypt has set London agog with opposition. Mr. Gladstone, being interviewed to-day upon the subject. said : “ What I said has, it appears, been incor- rectly reported and misunderstood. It is not intended by the Government to entirely evacuate Egypt at the present, nor is the way clear to arrange for total evaeuation at any particular period in the future. A large part of the army of occupa- tion will be withdrawn, according to the arrangement, early in December. Two thousand of the best troops will, however, be maintained in Egypt, and they will be stationed at Alexandria, where they will remain for an indefinite period. This army WI 1 be strengthened if occasion requires. ’1‘ s Government will also maintain in ac- tive duty in Egyptian waters 8. large and thoroughly equipped and manned man-of- war.” Mr. Gladstone replied to the toast in honor of Her Majesty‘s Ministers. Refer- ring to M.Weddiug.ton's speech he said: “ Our hearte’ best wishes are with France in every career, of peace, justice and or- derly government, on which she mey find it her interest to enter." Referring to the Missionary Shaw affair, he said whet had come from the French Government had been offered rather than demanded. He believed the incident would tend to confirm the good feeling between the two countries. Mr. Gladstone said orders had been given for the withdrawal of a. portion of the British forces from Egypt. and that with- drewel would include the evacuation of Cairo. All the great powers of Europe, be said, had declared their attachment for the cause of peace. In regard to Ireland he said 2 “There is much to be done. much to be desired, much to be lamented, but there is also much to be hoped for. .Peace and order must (Cheers). The N. Y. Sun's correspondent, comment- ing on Mr. Gladetone’e speech, says that it clearly proves that the programme of the session is still unsettled. The only infor- mation he oondeeoended to give, says the Sun was that last year’s Lord Mayor was going to be knighted, and. as everybody already knew, the English troops were to be withdrawn from the capital in Egypt to the sea coast. An incidental reference which he made to Ireland is held to mean that if a Franchise Bill be brought in it will include the United Kingdom. M. Wad- dington’s speech asserted in flowing com- monplaees the desire of France to be at peace with all the world and with England especially. «.mn . -. One 0! the most novel teams on record is owned by a boy in Tehama, says the Chico (Cal) Record. The young fellow’s flyers are nothing more nor less than two large sturgeons which were caught by h1s father in Sacramento River. He has fastened an end of a strong rope to the tail of each fish. and the other end is fastened to the bow of n 18 foot boat. Two cords, fastened in some manner to the heads of the fish, serve as reins, and the owner of the team guides his fishy charge up or down the stream at will. The first day the “water horses ” were hitched up they “ bucked " with all the energy of a thorough-bred untamed Mtxioan mustang, jumping and plunging out of the water, and digging down as far as their harness would permit. But they have been broken splendidly, and cause no trouble to their proud driver. When they are not in use, the fish are driven into 8. large wooden cage, which was made expressly for them. ’ The Lord Mayor‘s banquet this evening was attended by many diu‘inguiehed per- sons. M. Waddington, the French Am- basnador, replying to a toast, said there was no greater guarantee for the peace of the world than the hearty and cordial friendship between Great Britain and France. The policy of France was not one of aggression, but one of holding her own. The French Government was earnestly trying to settle pending questions affecting France. His mission in London was one of peace. The French Wll-Ihed to approach Great Britain in a spirit of good Will, and he was met by the same desire on the part offivglapd; _ measure.

On Thursday last a family named Rey- nolds, from Thanet, who had lost an only daughter by death, about 6 years of age, brought the corpse to this village expecting to give it a Christian burial undervthe aus‘ pices of the Episcopalian Church. 'Arrived at the church, however, the ofliciating clergyman, Rev. Mr. Jones, on learning that the child had not been baptized, re- fused‘to let the body go into the church or to have anything to do himself with con- ducting the burial service at the grave. The ministers of other denominations in town had then to be applied to, but all happened to be absent at the time, and the unfor- tunate father might have buried his child alone and with as little ceremony as he would his dog had not Mr. E. D. O‘Flynn kindly offered to read the burial service over the little one’s grave. Before reaching the graveyard, however, Rev. Mr. Baker returned, and gave his services in giving the body a Christian burial, to which.under any circumstances, it was surely entitled. Rev. Mr. Jones may have been carrying out the dictates of his prayer-book, but he did a heartless and unchristian act, neverthe- less, and one we are sure not sanctioned by the Christian members of his church in this village. It might have been considered that however much the parents of the child may have Wished for baptism before her death, such a ceremony could not be per. formed on short notice at the distance they resided from a regular clergymanâ€"From the Modoc Review.

There wasa procession here yesterday, and the streets were densely thronged with people. A public meeting was afterwards held in the City Hall, at which more persons were present than have attended any previous gathering in Jamaica. The Custos pre- sided. Resolutions were passed expressing disappointment that no reply had been received from the Queen to the representa- tions made to her by the people of Jamaica, and alarm that the new Governor of the Island had been appointed Without any aesuranees from the Queen’s Ministers that the grievances of the people would be redressed and their wrongs removed. It was also resolved there shall be no taxation Without representation. If there was, the colony would refuse to pay the taxes, and would offer a passive resistance,les.ving the Government to collect the taxes at the point of the bayonet. Perfect order pre- vailed at the meeting. The people in other parishes are following the example of ng-iton. The Governor sent aletter to the meeting with the object of appeasing the excitement. Attempt. to Murder a Young Woman. A last (Wednesday) night’s Detroit de- spstoh says : Yesterday afternoon a young man named Louis Bauer attempted to take the life of a. young woman named Selina Winters, his failure to kill her being due only to his poor marksmanship. Bauer had been very attentive to the woman, but his love was not returned. Yesterday he fol- lowed her on the street. She particularly tried to avoid him, while he was determined to walk with her. At the foot of Elmwood avenue Bauer. who was some distance be- hind the girl, drewa. revolver and as rapidly as he could discharge the weapon fired four shots at her before she could reach a. safe place. Her screams and the pistol shots attracted a. crowd, and the fellow was pre- vented from carrying out his murderous purpose. He was arrested.

He was given an enthusiastic reception at Liverpool, and presented with an address. Some discussion is also aroused by the statement that possibly he will become the next Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The rumor cannot be verified, andit is not be- lieved the Government has seriously thought of it. Where the matter has been discussed in the press it has led to a comparison of the abilities required and the wide difference in the people of Canada and Ireland. In the former the people are intensely loyal, in the latter many are intensely disloyal, and while Lorne has been a successful ruler of loyal people, the fact would not presage success as the ruler of a country where every act of a royal administrator, no matter how kindly meant, is accepted in a hostile spirit.

A very small boy got off the Grand Trunk train going west at this village on Thursday evening last at 7 15, and applied for a night’s lodging at Warren's Hotel, telling the proprietor that he wanted to re- turn to the Boys’ Home, Hamilton, the next morning. Not much notice was taken of the little fellow until a painter by the name of Fitzpatrick, who was board- ing at the said hotel, took the boy up stairs to put him to bed, when the boy asked him to pull ofi his stockings, as he was not able to bend his legs. In doing so Mr. Fitzpatrick noticed that something was wrong. and upon examination found the poor little lad’s body to be as black as a coal, and large ridges raised, when he immediately called up all that were down- stairs to see the shameful sight. The boy did not have much to say, but during the night he would call out in his sleep, “ Oh, don’t beat me,” and woke up several times, seeming to be in great pain. He did not know where he was born, but thought it was in England, and never remembered his father and mother. He said he was taken from the Sisters of Charity, in Hamilton, two months ago, by LATERâ€"Michael Schwank, died alter he was taken out; Wm. G Jones, meson, had his skull fractured and died ; Wm.

Gleason, laborer, foreman of the turners, hurt by a box of falling glass. The direct cause of the accident is due to an attempt to construct at a nominal ex- pense a building whichâ€"from its location being at a point where the severest gales of the city are felt, and for the use for which it was intended, that of a cooper’s shop, where hundreds of men would have ob- tained employmentâ€"should have received most careful attention in building and no expense spared in its construction. The building was 120 feet in length by 80 feet in width, four storeys in height. At the time of the collapse of the structure, although ahigh wind was prevailing, it was not suflicient to cause any injury to adjoin- ing property, and it is generally believed that the loose and cheap construction of the building was the cause of its falling, need~ ing only an extra gust of wind to bring about the inevitable. Repggts from the hospital state that Charles Finter, the carpenter who was severely injured, cannot live through the night. An official investiga- tion as to the construction of the building will be held. The cause of the terrible accident is some what uncertain, but the most plausible theory is that the heavy iron pillars supâ€" porting the roof of the second story balcony sankinto the plank on which they reated,thua pulling the wall outward, which in turn caused the roof of the entire wing to cave in. These columns were made of large pieces d boiler iron rolled into circular form, stove-pipe fashion, and the jointures were not bolted together. A Boston despatoh says: Judge Holmes has granted an order dissolving the Pales- tine Railroad Company. The road was originally designed to run from Cairo, Egypt, to Jerusalem.

Thus far, about 200 young men have availed themselves of this opportunity for education in the trades of plumbing, brick- laying, fresco painting, and pattern making. The work done by some of these young men is now on exhibition at the fair of the American Institute, and constitutes one of the most interesting features of that show. The plumbing shows some rare skill in manipulation of tools and the use materials. The examples of lead joints, wiping joints, sand bends, lead safes, bath and basin fittings, sinks, wash tubs, and so on, show that the young men have made good use of their time. It may seem almost incredible that such proficiency could be attained in the short time of five months. This is accounted for first by the fact that the whole of the five months was devoted to the actual learning of the trade under the teaching of a com- petent instructor. Another explanation is the fact that’ the learners were not only earnest seekers after knowledge, but also, in most cases, already skilled in the use of tools. To such young men it is comparatively easy to substitute one trade for another. The ordinary restrictions of trades unions put great obstacles in the way of changing from one trade to another. But the trade school offers an opportunity to ayoung man who has, unfortunately, learned an unremunerative trade to learn another which will be more congenial or profitable. The cost to the learners of plumbing is 33 per month, or $10 for the course. The instruction in this department is limited to young men between 17 and 25. Some opposition from the trades unions has kept young men from availing them- selves ot the advantages of the institution. The rules of the trades unions forbid the election of a member who has not served an apprenticeship, and the trades union leaders, in some cases, announced that they would not permit graduates of the schools to work in the shops with them. Several of the graduates from the bricklaying school have been compelled to go to work with non-union men because they could not get into the unions. Yet the fact that these young men were competent workmen is proved by the building which they erected to be occupied as a bricklaying school this winter at First avenue and Sixty-eighth street. The pupils Worked under the supervision of their instructor, and were paid by Mr. Auchmuty at the same rate at which journeyman hricklayers belonging to the union are paid. The teaching is done in a building 50x70. where there is a good supply of bricks and mortar. The pupils use the same bricks over and over again. For instruction in bricklaying the terms are $3 a month or $12 for the course, and the class is reserved for young men between 17 and 25 years of age. There will be a class in laying face brick and in cutting brick arches twice a week for three months commencing Dec. 10th, prov1ded suflicient applications are made by Dec. 4th. Several years ago Mr. R. T. Auchmuty, of this city, resolved to start a trade school to give deserving young men an opportunity to learn trades. He did not intend it as a charity, or as a money~making institution. He was content to advance the capital and risk its loss for the purpose of giving a trial to his pet idea. Thus far he has invested about $40,000 in land and buildings located in First avenue, and extending along the whole block from Sixty-seventh to Sixty- eighth streets, running back ab wt 71 feet on the two streets. The place , is within view of the old Sohermerhon mansion, ad- joining the Pastime Pleasure Grounds. the birthplace of the wife of Mr. Auchmuty. The buildings are plain, low, brick struc- tures, with ample room for several hundred scholars engaged in learning the trades of plumbing, bricklaying, fresco painting, stone cutting, plastering, scroll-sawing, pat- tern making for moulders and machinists and turning. when the buildings are com- pleted there will be ample accommodations for teaching all these trades with the best of tools and instructors. For the class in pattern making from drawings, and preparing models for mould- ing the terms are $3 amonth or $10 for the course. For the class in plastering the terms are $5 per month or 312 for the course. Instruction in fresco painting is given for $2.50 a. month or $10 for the course. The new class in stone-cutting begins work this season, the terms being 33 per month or $10 for the course. The terms for the class in turning, scroll sewing, and so on, are the same. Thus far the fees have covered but a. tithe of the expenses, but the founder is well pleased w1th the results achieved, and hopes. by the charac- ter of the work turned out, to convince the trades unions that there is no injustice to them in this efiort to educate skilled work- men on a new planâ€"New York Sun. Another consideration has been that the method of learning a. trade by apprentice- ship is very slow, because so much of the time must be spent in mere dtudgery, and the oupidity of the employer postpones the day whenthe apprentice shall have mas- tered his trade.

The New York Trade Schools, which are to be reopened for pupils on November 5th, for the third winter sessions, appear to have supplied a. pressing want which has long been felt wherever trades unions are plentiful and the division of labor is exten- sive. The want is the opportunity to learn a. mechanical trade. It is afoot well known to poor boys who 'desire to learn trades that it is only with the greatest diflicnlty that an apprenticeship can be obtained in most trades. The rules of the trades unions regarding apprentices are very strict, and only a certain specified number is allowed in proportion to the number of journeymen employed.

The love of display leads young women to dance and the same desire fills our streets with fallen women. When two embrace in the dance all others should leave the room. And yet Dame Fashion schools society to permit the lascivious movements of the dance. It leads to undesirable associa- tions, and the lower the level of humanity the more dancing is indulged in ; it is the chosen amusement ot the slums of society.

Rev. E. R. Dille discoursed last evening 'upon the “ Modern Dance " before a large congregation in the Central Methodist Church. , Ee refuted the arguments of the devotees of dancing that the Bible sanc- tioned it, bv'saying that in no place in the holy writings did it appear that the sexes joined in the mazy. Of the three instances mentioned in the Bible, one was by Job, who spoke in severe terms of those who sent out their children like flocks and danced ; another instance was where a lewdj young woman danced so gracefully as to cause the decapitation of a good man and the presentation of his head to her ass. reward for her lascivious conduct. The history of all pagan nations shows that they were addicted to dancing. from the Digger Indians up, and the speaker thought it one of the causesof their being overthrown in the race of intellectual and social develop- ment. Among the Greeks the dance origi- nated with the service of Bacchus, the wine god, and with them it was associated with the drinking 0! wine and bacchanalian carousals. Their three musesâ€"Terpischcre, Euterpe and Melpomeneâ€"which were allied with their dances. were not the three Christian graces Hope, Faith and Charity, but were three disgraces, corres- ponding to the modern theatre, dance and drinking. With the Romans only those danced who hired themselves for that pur- pose, and a noble Roman or a plebian free- man in Rome’s better days would scorn to have been seen dancing. Cato said : “Only fools and drunken men dance." The reverend speaker said the Mohammedans do not allow the sexes to mingle in the dance, and in Nubia to-day such an exhibition would be looked upon as a scandalous proceeding. Of the merits of the modern dance, in itself it is harmless, but the trouble is that it leaps over all inclosures; it is injurious to health in that it conduces to late hours, the inhalation of gin and tobacco-scented air, and in the modern ball-room the seeds of consumption and death are sown. It is not a recreation, but a dissipa- tion.

The fourth time he pressed the pistol against his abdomen. The calibre of the weapon was small, and he is likely to recover from his wounds.

I thought the claret itself might be a little lonesome, and so I took them to keep it company.” A Paris paper suggests that the indem- nity to Mr. Shaw should be paid in prayer- bookn and Bibles. bl Tee“ THE DEVIL’S DANCE. Eccentric Suicidal. And she did it on her wedding day. for certain. The dignified little creature who dragged a train up the centre aisle of a fashionable church was no longer childish. Her babyish braids of hair had become an elaborate ociffure; the ankles were out of sight, and, instead of their stookinged dis- play, there was a charming disclosure of bare arms that were far more plump and tapering than anybody had expected. and as fair as eighteen years’ seclusion could make them ; her bodice, for the first time, was shapelyâ€"by exactly what means is none of the publio‘e business.

Given a small, straight, flat figure, re- marks Clara Bell, with a face delicate in its features, and the problem of making a girl look like 15 until she is altogether past her teens is not exceedingly difficult. It can be very simply worked by refusing to let her petticoats grow to a mature length, eschewing all devices of bodice that pro- duce artificial undulation, and enjoining an innocent simplicity of carriage and manner. That was what had been done with the bride whom I have mentioned. There was in her family the usual incentive for thus retarding her apparent growth from childhood to womanhood. Two older sisters wished to matrimonially place themselves before their , ages were emphasized by the youngest daughter becoming an adult. Why, I remember that one evening at a. reception the dear girl came down to the parlor in a lovely costume of white tulle, as simple and infantile as a christening robe, and with a hem no lower than the tops of her high boots ; but she had presumed to give a slight roundness to her oorsage. That was an amendment to the family resolution which was instantly voted down though she pleaded hard to carry it. “You miy be a. woman, but you've got to look like a. child as long as nature will let yog,” was the maternal mandate.

Herr Chwolson, Professor of Physics at the University of St. Petersburg, has written an article on the subject in the Nowosti, in which he says: “ In its remarkable simplicity this invention can only be com- pared with the Jablochkofl system of electric lighting. The watches are without any springs, and consist solely of two wheels. Besides being true, they have the advantage of the second hand moving in single momentary leaps, as is usually the case only in very costly watches, and which is of the utmost utility for astro- nomical observations. These watches can also set in motion a certain number of watches of the same construction, so that they all keep exact time. The invention has convinced me that watches can be used for the purpose of telegraphv.” After naming several other advantages, Prof. Chwolson describes the invention as a wonder which will cause an entire revolu- tion in the manufacture of watches.

A complaint having been made in some of the English papers concerning the presence of magnesia in beer. a correspon- dent of the British Medical Journal points out the fact that Burton-on-Trent obtained celebrity for ale on account of its walls, which contain magnesia. He also state! that brewers in other places have found it beneficial to add the sulphates of lime and magnesia to their brewing waters. The three most celebrated Burton and two of the best Edinburgh wells contain upward of 40 grains per gallon of lime and mag- nesia. Kradisch, the analyst, also pub- lishes the fact that the water in thePechoor brewery. at Munich, contains 2,085 part. per 10,000 of magnesia alone. Genilemen’s slylel.
