The Solioitor-General, however, said the arrest was made on information believed to be strong, but in the interest of justice it was not advisable to let the public, know the nature of it. While all the evidence so far seenred is .only known to the Solicitor -General and Coroner Berryman, your correspondent is in a position to state that the information which led to the arrest was placed in the bands of the coroner by a women who sent for the Solioitor-deneral, and on her sworn testimony the Crown officer within an hour ordered the arrest. After the arrest Detec- tive Ring visited Barker's wholesale estab- lishment and found boxes corresponding exactly to the ones in which the candy was sent. They were used for flee tooth combs, and a quantity of these were found which looked as if they had been emptied out of the regular boxes. McDonald was for some tirae in the asylum, but he was dis- charged as cured in May last. Since then he went through the heat and excitement of the Mayor's election and also the car- nival, serving as one of the assistant semen tariee to the latter. He then entered his brother -it -law's wholesale department, but was believed to have been perfectly sane. Previoas to his being put in the asylum he attempted suicide in the market ' slip. He wag about a year ago employed as a private iteoretary to Mr. O'Shaughnessy, assistant general manager of the Canadien Pacific rnalviey in Montreal, and was in some part of Qaebeo or Ontario during the Galt poisoned candy casae.

The case for the Crown was opened by Mr. Belanger, who ridiculed the eenaa- tippet stones about the cage publiobed by tho.pums, and told the Jury to diesthese them neede ot any prejudice they reigbt have entertained. After the comer and the medical examiner had given technical evidenee about the inqneet and autopsy, George W.

A Sherbecelte despetet of Friday says; The Manistee trial se approaching au unex, peetedly early doe, counsel Inc the Crown having thin afternoon, after the examina- tion of fourteen witneesee, declared the case eloped as far as they vvere concerned. To, morrow the case for the defence will be beguo, and then, after .the addresses of conneel arta the judge's charge, the case will be given tie theeuees.

The chief incident of toelay'a proceedinge was the confeesion of Leet that be bail come tore prepered to testify Inc the defence as well eater the Crown. His externineadoeby the Crown couneel was meat severe, and at ono there it was thought the Court would be requested to order We arreet for perjury. Thera are ten witnesses for tbe defence, and all of them will ba rigidly crose-exant- !tied by the Crown, so that the proapeote for concluding to -morrow ere not very brigbt. The opinion of those who balm heard the evidence so far submitted is that the verdict will be either manelinighter or acquittal, certainly not murder. The detence will try to prove sell -defence as the best means of getting their man off. A Sherbrooke despetoh of &Auden night seen: In the Morrison trial to -day the case for tbe defence was teased and argu. ment Axed for Monday. Eight witnessee were examined, three of whom proved pre- vious threats on the part of Warren against Morrison, and two proved that Warren pulled his revolver first. One testified to Morrison's general good character, and another dubbed Warren a• professional whiskey smuggler. 11 -is expected that the addresses of counsel and the judge's charge ill occupy the whole of Monday, and the diet is not expected till late that night rly on Tuesday morning. methane A grgnat a U.S. consul. aehingtop despatcli of Tuesday Says: enesenli, a'n Arab merchant from giers, Morocco, appeared at the White ouse to.day in Arabian costume, and tbrough an interpreter laid before the President his complaint against the United States Consul Lewis, of Tangiers.

After being kept in jail nearly a. year, Beneseuli was re- leased, an investigation having disproved the charge. He asks that suitable repara- tion be made him.

A Cronin Suspect's Health. A Chicago despatch of Wednesday Says; Judge Baker to -day issued a writ of habeas corpus, returnable to -morrow, requiring the State's Attorney to show cause why Frank Woodruff, one of the Cronin prison. ere, should not be released on bail. The 'confinement is apparently breaking the young metn'a health down. A Xingstonien is under armee at Bay City, Mich., for murderously sessulting it disreputable women.

ACCOnDXSO to the Montreal *Tomo& of Commerce England'a debt was reduced from 1858,864,000 to 4842,43E1,000 between 1836 and 11337, though 420,000,000 ban boon paid to liberate the slaves and the Crimean war had cost 141,000,000. During the next twenty years the debt reduction amounted to 467,000,000, though 14,000,- 000 had been paid for Suez Canal stook and 110,000,000 to extend the telegraph systora. Since 1877 the debt has been re. armed by 176,000,000, and it now stande at £690,300,000, or 4153,564.000 less than tbe amount fifty years ago. The figures show that during the first twenty years of the period under review the debt was reduced at the rate of half a million a year; during the second twenty years at the rate of 13,350,000 per year; and awing the last twelve at the rate of £6,333,334 per year. Such is England's record. The 'United States is doing even better in rapidly wiping out her war debt. Should not Canada follow these noble examples, 't- abled of mortgaging the future and heaping up it debt in time of peace? The best preparation for war, the best advertisement for a country, is it full treasury sae clean balance eheet. FATTENING slaves in a park and feeding them up like animals destined for thetable, and then leading them to shambles where they are slaughtered like oxen, out into pieties, and shared bit by bit among hungry cannibals—such is the practice which is permitted, acoordieg to M. Fondese, a Isere% explorer, in some of French, Beligian, Portuguese, and even British territories in ilbanghi. M. Fondese was Bent out three years ago by the French Government to discover the Karnes of the Niariguillon, and having returned after the successful accomplishment of his task, he hastens to tell his countrymen about the terrible things which he had seen in his travels. The "fattening parks," or pad- locks, are, he says, to be seen in each village, ani contain men and women who have been taken in the war. The poor wretches take their doom philosophically, and same of them to whom M. Fondese offered freedom actually refused it. They eat, drink, dance and sing until the head " Fetish -man " comes around, accompanied by an orchestra of tom-tom and tin -kettles players, selects a Befell:lithely fat specimen, carries hire or her to the market place of the village, and splits his or her head with it hatchet or soythg knife. The eyes and tongue of the victim are given to the e boss " fetish, and the rest of the body is divided among the atrocious anthropophagi. M. Fondese who has gone right through the heart of African continent, has brought several interesting reports back, which he proposes to read in it publio meeting. Cardinal Leedgerie, the anteleavery crusader, will undoubtly find a new inoen- tive in hie philanthropicwork after having heard the testimony of the new explorer.— London Telegraph. THE Vancouver, B. C., News -Advertiser recomntends the cultivation of hops in that Province, as the experience of Wash- . ington Territory has proved that the eon and climate of the Pad& Coast are sped - ally adapted for the perfection of the plant. One grower in the Puyallup Valley, who has kept an accurate account of the pro. deeds of hie hop yard for seventeen year, states that the average yield for that period has been 2,000 pounds to the acre. During that period the average price has been 20 cents per pound or $400 an sore, and, after deduothag all expenses of cultivation and picking, the net profit has been about 5200 an acre. The quality of the hops raised is So superior to those raised in many other parts of the world which, until a few years ago, furnished the obief supply, that the prices they can be sold for in London ern sefeineet to °over ell the expenses of traesportMion for ea great it distance and leave the growers; a geed -margin ot profit.

A florae's Memory. I happened to be the vileness of an odd Boone the other day wbith, when noolmted, may possibly amuse the reader. One of those not infrequent, hut I meet confess nsuafly flotitious neoessitice, had arisen which take me t0. it stable—on thie °COS - Sion to a large establishment in the vicinity of Chardon Omit. it was about 5 o'clock in the afternoon and varlotte people 'were starting for home, among them it man and woman who hnd it remarkably intelligent looking gray borate. Just as be began to trot down the lane by winch the stable is reaohed from the street, a etout "party," who, I noticed, bad been watching the grey intently, suddenly cried out in a loud voice "Dan, don't you want s piece of cake 2" The horse stopped short, pricked up his ears, looked around, and uttered a faint whinney of recognition and assent; nor would he go on until the stout man had come forward and explained his inter- ference. It appeared that several years before he had brought the bores from Ver. mont, where he °tined him for some time, and as the beast waa particularly amine he bad taught him the true sense of the ques- tion the sudden asking of which brought tbe animal to it standstill. It is well known that horses never forget a pereon or place, and scarcely an event. No matter how much time has elapsed or how greatly the horse may have 'changed in deposition, one word from a former master will estab- lish immediately the old relation between therm—Taverner in Boston Post. The London papers are full of deserip. tions of the splendors of the palace which is now in course of construction for Colonel North, the " Nitrate Xing."

Now cooler winds begin to blow, The solar fires less fiercely glow. The heated term is nearly o'er, The paper cellar wilts no more The girl puts up her bathing suit, Their hats of straw the wealthy shoot. The fat man laughs aloud with glee, No more like melted lard is he, The yachts are fast at wharves and docks, We're near the autumnal equinox. And people who regard their health For autumn clothing spend their wealth. And every merchant who is wise Both hump himself and advertise. One of the features of military drill in the Russian army is the training of soldiers to swim in battaliona, at the same time using, their weapons. At the recent annual military mencenvres in the presence of the Czar a fine exhibition of profioienoy was given in this direction. A large force of infantry swam across a wide lake in full marching order, with the help of fasoines made of reeds and rushee, or of inflated sheepskins. At the same time they kept tip a lively fire on the boats of a supposed enemy who were disputing their passage. Inspector Bell, London, is confident that the doctors in that city are utterly dine. garding the piovisions of the health by-law by neglectineeto report cases of infectioue diseases in order that the houses may be platiarded.

Haskins, who discharged Pennock a few. days ago. Pennock returned this morning,. and a row ensued. 'Pennook shot Haeltina in the groin, and also shot Haskins' son in the foot. ffe gave himself up, and clainis he did it ill self-defence. Haskins is very low, but may recover.
