Such is the title of the annual lecture de-- liver'ed at the commencement of the pres - en: session of McGill University, Montreal, by the Principal,_~SiT J. William Dawson. o. M. G.. LL. D.. &c. n is seldom mail a Frenchman has been known to admire Waterloo Bridge, London. for it COmmem-- crates a famous battle in which his coon-- try’s arms were defeated. Equally seldom, and for a similar reason. doe a French Canadian; we suppose, find pleasant associn ations in‘ connection with the Plains of Abraham} It will never be forgotten that Wellington vanquished the first Napoleon. and that Wolfe conquered Montcalm; and until the memory of these victories passes away, or until the Millennium arrives, there will probably be more or less of bitter feel-- ing on the part of the French towards the British. The lecture before us gives cerâ€" tain exemplificntions of this feeling. or rather some of its practical results. It is indeed very suggestive. and we recommend our readers to procure it,so that they may see for themselves the incipient danger which threatens our fair Dominion. Certain re" cent unhappy events have called forth mani- festations of feeling in the sister provinces which are anything but satisfactory to the loyal subjects of Her Majesty, Queen Vic-- toria; and this, with certain articles in the Mail newspaper about a year ago, on French Canadian aggressiveness, even taking them cum grano salisâ€"and a very big grain too -â€"Would almost lead us to suppose that there was a hpnspiracy in Quebec to weaken, and ultimately to dtstroymll British influence in Canada, and to make this countrv once more a dependency of la belle France. There may not be an organized conspiracy for this purpose; but if there is, we would recommend the conspirators to remember that the France of to-jdey is not the France of the ti‘rr'ie of the old regimemnd they would find the lit’tle'finger of modern infidel France thicker than the loins of Christian Eng- land. French Canadians doubtless love France much more than they do England. and this is what might be expected; it is only natural. But when we find them making efforts. strenuous though insidious, to lessen England's influence here. to de- stroy her prestige. it is the duty of every patriotic man to point out the danger. lt' our neighbors were only laboring to make the people of this Dominion forget racial and religious differences, to regard them- selves simply as Canadians, to build up a grand Canadian nationality, we would not have a word to say; but. we must protest with all our might against any and every attempt, to tnlre Canada. from under the protection of Great Britain, and make her subject. to any outside power whateverI whether on this side of the Atlantic or the other. We protest also. and just as strong- ly, against any unfair treatment. in any of our provinces, of the minority by the majority.

In all countries noted for ieducntioual institutions a degree in Arts lfrom a good university is regarded as a guarantee of fitness for commencing pro-- fessional study; and in many places it is insisted upon, no young man being regard- ed as well prepared to commence the studyl of his profession until he has taken an Arts degree, Perhapsâ€"but onlv perhaps-«it would be too much to make this compulsory in such a young country as Canada; but if it were so made we would not find so many professional men as we do, who seem to be almost utterly uneducated outside their own profession, some of them not being able even to translate their diplomas. More" over, the learned professions would not have so many incapables. for the want ofa liberal preliminary education is one great cause of so many professional men being such abject failures. The mind not previ-- ously disciplined and developed cannot be expected to master any profession thor-- oughiy. Then, too, if a degree in Arts were a sine qua mm to commencing professional study,there would not be so much spare room in the upper storeys, nor would the lower be so densely crowded. Yet, strange to say, the Quebec authorities not only do not insist, upon a man taking a degree in Arts as preparatory to professional study, but it absolutely refuses to recognize such 9. deg-- rec as a guarantee of fitness for such study. One can hardly help asking here as to how many of the French Canadian seminaries , have university powers. But, except the injury done by higher education being thus discouraged. what the lecturer calls “the English and Protestant minority " have so far not much to complain of. for the above has been the rule from the first, and “ the courses of professional study [at the Quebec Universities] were left untrammelled and certain important privileges with reference to practice were conceded to professional degrees.” Moreover, the minority were in this respect on a level (at any rate, an osâ€" tensible level) with their fellow-citizens of‘ another race and another religion. Now at Confederation it was stipulated that the minority should still retain whatever edit-- cational privileges they had heretofore possessed; and the complaintâ€"a very just,‘ one and very serious one-â€"now is that this1 compact has been indirectly infringed. ; The professions are represented by public‘ bodies which we may call Boards or Conn-fl oils; and the Local Legislature recently gave these Boards powers so exceSsive and arbitrary that “they may exercise complete control over the professional courses of the universities, and may. if so disposed. prac-- tically destroy the educational institutions of the minority.” The institutions of the others are not. in the same danger, for the ‘ great majority of the members of these Boards were educated there, and so will not be likely to interfere with them. especially t as the courses of study pursued there are in ‘aceordance with their OWn notions. In fact, by recent legislation, the Boards have power to build up the one at the expense of the other. But why should not. the academies of the “ English and Protestant minorities ” adapt their course. of study to suit the Board’s requirements? Simply because by i so doing they would be false to their own interests. To take two examples not cateâ€" gorically mentioned in the lecture; every one knows in what a very different way both History and Ethics are taught in English and in French colleges. The lee-- turer shows that the extirpation from th- Province of Quebec of the system of edit-- cation pursued at such institutions as McGill would be unjust to the minority, of no benefit to the province at large, and a violation of the agreement made at. the time of Confederation. As to the education required as prepare" tory to the study ofa profession, one would suppose that the Professional Boards. 1-9- tusing to recognize a degree in Arts from a Canadian or even a Brit ~‘l‘. University. would demand something very thorough and comprehensive indeed. But what sill our readers say when we assure them that in the lecturer's judgmentâ€"mud few men are mere competent to give udecision in the mutterâ€"matriculation in Arts in any Cans-- dian university7 is quite equal to what the Boards “ can obtain by their special exam-- inations”? The reason for pursuing this stupid policy is that the Boards seem to think that accepting degree men from such colleges as McGill would injure “certain so- called colléges in the Province of Quebec,” that is to say, that the injustice complained of is simply a bit of contemptihle jealousy towards institutions of learning conducted on the English system. 0m Impurc Breath and suppose it comes from disordorml stomach. In many (mans the actual cause is (m‘tun-h. Nam] Balm will remove the cause, and cure. Another evil-is that whilst the Boards refuse to acknowledge certificates and deg.- rePs recognized in Great Britain and Ire-- land, the examinations which they require to be passed before professional study is com- menced are of as great variety as the pro-- iessions themselves, and are not “ connect-â€" eri Wlll‘l the general educational system.” Thus, the teachers. instead of being real educators, are simply crammers for exam-- inalions, 1hereby lowering their own pro-- fession and doing incalculable injury to the students. But great as are the difficulties of the minority. unjust as is their treatment, Sir- William Dawson is not the man to say that there is no remedy. Seeing: that all appeals to the medical and legal Boards have been in vain, he suggests ((0.111 appeal to the mem- bers of these professions themselves, (b) an appeal to the Provincial Legislature, show-- ing that even ecclesiastical and political powers will be swch nwav. as in France nndItaly,1fthey olly themselves with pro-- fossionol nnrrowness, (c) appeal to the Dominion Government, showing how much more fairly and generously the Roman Catholic minorities in Other provinces of the Dominion are treated than the Protes- tant minority in Quebec, (n?) on appeal to the Crown, inasmuch as McGill works under a Royal Charter. Should all these fail. he says. "We can trust to God and our own right hands, as our futhcrshuve been wont to do in times gone by; and can secure for our sons and daughters the education which we desire, at our own expense: and if all leg-til powers and pt‘iviloges are refnst-d to us, can at least Cherish enlightenment and sound culture tor their own sakes. " “’ * "’ Our cause is that of God and humanity. No moans or effort devoted to it will be with-- out their reward; and however repressed now, it will surely prevail.” A Frequent annoyance.

In other words the bank has made since its start in 1884 one million dollars of losses. The creditorstof the bank stand a fair chance of getting out their money by degrees and intervals, as the work of liquidation proceeds; but even in their case no one ought to be too sanguine after the revelations of Tuesday. Where has this million dollars gone? Some of the directors got up and blamed ‘ the managerâ€"indeed it seemed as if he were to be made the scapegoat. But can the directors escape thus ? Is it not their place to know everything that is going on? So far Mr. Allen has been silent ; if he has any explanation to offer it ought to be forthcoming now. As usual the big losses are in the big acâ€" counts. Again is a surprised community asking the old quetion of how those debtors ot' the bank got into it for such , large amounts. As to the liquidation, it V is to be hoped that it will go on speedily and at as little less as possible to the unâ€" fortunate creditors and shareholdersâ€"â€" World. A Bill is being considered by a num~ ber of Senators in W’ashington to reduce the postage still further from two cents to one cent, provided it does not too seriously interfere with the revenue of the Post Office Department. If, how'- ever, it. is thought likely to prove too serious .1 reduction of' the revenue of' the department, the attempt will be made, and with prospects of success, to revise the law on letter postage on local letters. We think the attempt might be made to reduce the postage in this country from three cents to two cents. We are of opinion that no loss would accrue to the revenue by so doing, as we believe the pernicious system of using postal cards for dunning purposes, invoices, &e., would be lessened. We hope the Postmasterâ€"General will see his way clear to adopt the rate of twoâ€"cent letter postage. Sm.â€"You make mention in the last issue of your paper of North Morninglon. The question might be asked. “ Where is North Mornington ?” I can find no mention of it in ‘he Geography used in the public schools. [True, nothing is said about it in the work referred to above, and with all our boasted educational system and the cost under which the parents of the children suffer, something is yet wanting whereby the country or province in which we live can be taught properly to the youth of the country. Mornington is a township in the north Riding of Perth, which contains, according to the census taken in 1331, 4.000 inhabitants, about one-third being Presbyterians. Strange to say, in turning to the annual report of the Ontario Bu’rei’u of Industries. issued by order of the Gov-- eminent of Ontario, we notice on page 312 that the Township of Mornington is set down as containing in 1886, 3,3341n popu- lation. This would imply that the place is rctrognding, but perhaps a little politics are mixed up with it, as many other places are made to contain less population at the present time than they did at the time 0t" taking the census for the D0minion.â€"ED.] To the Ediior of the Herald:â€" A GREAT sensation was caused in Montreal by the arrest on Friday last of the widely known and trusted Detective Fahey, Detective. Naegelc, and Policeâ€"- man Bureau. These public guardians are charged with having perpetrated a number of daring robberies. Bureau was the first of these to fall under suspicion. He was at the time Constable for the Grand Trunk Railway. He was dismissed from the employ of the G. T. R., and obtained a position on the city police force. Duringr the past sumâ€" mer the residence of Harry Phillips, a wellâ€"known sport, was burglarized and a number of valuable articles stolen. The owner was out of town at this time, and Fahoy had possession of the key of his house; so that when he returned he began to have a faint suspicion of Fahey. He accordingly communicated with a wellâ€"known New York detective, Frank Wilson, who came to Montreal nearly three months ago for the express purpose of shadowing Fahey. “lilson gained the good graces of Fahey and was introduced to his associates, Naégele and Bureau, and the quartette soon became fast friends. Wilson repreâ€" sented himself as an experienced cracksâ€" man, and the gang determined upon operations on a gigantic scale. Wilson went to Boston and while there he alleges that he received two let-tars from Fuhcy, in one of which he ( Fahey) asked that :1 full kit of tools and a man to do smash jobs should be sent to Montreal. Wilâ€" son, in response,engaged Chief Detective Maxwell, of Chicago, who at once entâ€" ered into the operations of the gang. Among other robberies contemplated, it was proposed to rob the City Pasâ€" senger lailway Co., a fur store on Notre Dameâ€"st, a jeweller’s store on St. Lawrence Main-st, and two barâ€" rooms on the latter street, where Fahey stated a considerable sum of money could be secured. The accused were locked up, bail being refused pending the preliminary examination. A HORRIBLE tragedy was enacted in Toronto on Wednesday last. John Fellows lives on Avenue road in a. brick dwelling a few doors north of' Davenport road. On Wednesay Mr. Fellows went to work as usual, leaving his wife and three children in the house. His wife had been suffering from dementia since birth of her child (a little boy) six weeks previously. As was his custom he called at the house Frequently to see if' everything was right. During the interval between his last visit, it zap.- pears that Mrs. Fellows seized a table knife and deliberately, in the presence of her frightened children, sawed of? the head of'the infant. She next severed an arm and then wrapping the head and Reduction of Postage. North Mornmgton. body in a blanket placed them under the bed. She next took the arm and after scalding it took it upstairs. She laid out the table carefully for a meal, and then. horrible to relate, began gnawing .the scalded arm of her infant. She then put the remains away in a cupboard, , covered them up with a cloth, and takingl the eldest child on her knee, calmly awaited the arrival of her husband to dinner. 0n Mr. Fellows entering the door, his eldest girl ran to him exclaimâ€" ing, “Oh, papa, mamma has stabbed the baby 1” He went at once to the perambulator, where the baby usuallyl slept, and discovering the bloodâ€"marks, ‘ questioned his wife, who at first would not give a direct reply, but finally point- ing towards the bedroom said “in there.” Realizing that his wife was in a dangerâ€" ous state, he called in assistance, when all the sickening details of' the crime as above stated were revealed. Mrs. Felâ€" lows was immediately arrested and locked up. She betrayed at no time the slightest consciousness of‘ the terrible deed she had committed. At the inquest, the jury brought in a verdict in accordance with the above, and expressed their belief in her insanity. She was unâ€" doubtedly insane, as she was knOWn to love her children dearly, and chiefly the little one that suffered death at. her hands.
