On Mahan bort an elderly man giving rterne he Karl illeiler spent pi ehort time in LOUdOL 1,1 emir& of hie wife whom he left in L anion nearly twenty-five years .itgot Ate ording to the London Advertiser, Mr. Wither told the following sad story to a kind hearted resident of London: "Over twenty years ttgo," be field, " was a prosphrone merchant in Dulken, a emelt piece in Dusseldorf, Germany, baying Succeeded my father tionee ten yeare pre- viously in a suutmeeful jeweller's businees. had myself made an eapeoial study of tbe human eye, and spent two years with an amitieet optical specialist, sa that when I name into poeseesion of the business my proepeets were very bright. Everythiog continued to prosper with me, and when the Franuo•Prossien war broke out in 1870 bad oinieiderable property, a wife and happy home. On the fine draft I was mailed, and when my wife knew that I had to go to the front she went into hysterics. The coiameny to which I was attached was not to rove for four days, and pending the inaction some of the men were allowed to remain in their homes during the eveeing. During this brief in- terval I consented, on the pleadings of my wife, to 'morales my honor and flee from the country. We left all our effeots, and with difficulty eseaped to the oity of ‘Anestenitine where we took passage for ',New York. After a rough trip we arrived, almost iyithout a dollar, in the great enetropolia, and after wandering around the oity for two tirtys in search of friends we decided to come to Mantreel. It was inepossibli• for me to get work there, and as the little store of money was nearly gone, I decided to move westward, and accompanied by his wife and child. we _arrived in this oity in December, 1870. I was not in the oity long before I secured employment with a jeweller teemed Men ray, and started housekeeping somewhere in this neighborhood in a nent frame house. Business shortly beoeme dull and I was discharged. "In company with a fellovvomuatrymart 1 voinutvered to go to South America to work on the Peosams ()anal and had good success, lesvieg fairly good health and making large wages in the ditch. Five years soon paseed away, during which time 1 kept up a regular oorreeponctenoe with my wife, and at the conclusion of my term I signed a new contraot for a similar term. !heti not worked more than a }ear on the .second term when I was stricken down with yellow fever, but having plenty of Jamey wish me I was abie to secure good attension, and after an Dolmen of over a year I made my way up the west attest as her as Sao Francium. From tbat place I wrote to my wife in this oity and received 330 reply, attd after writing to the city officiate I was told that ray wife hied died and that the child bad been taken home by some Maude, who were on their way to tbe faiherlana. " Heart -broken after a fruitless effort to find my child, I determined to bury my care in a strange land, and accordingly took passage for Hong Hoeg, °bins, going out with a civil etigint.er named Miller, who had been engaged t� euperintend the build- ing of a tramway out of Pekin. After re- maining there for two years I skipped onder aneesumed name on the German enanmf-wer'and after cruising for Ave yesrs T found my way to nay native city, and there discovered that the story of my wife s desith was without foundation and thet she bad within it year written to friends iu the neighborhood for essistrome. 1 at once set out to find her, hearing thee ate was engaged as it dornestio in it New 'York restatiraut, Oa arrival, however, I found that such was riot the case, and that abe had not been at the pieced nemett eine° we bad pawed throulh on our way to Canada several years before. Since that time I have done nothing but move from piece to plaoe in sear& of my wife and child, WED king long t nough in tho larger edimes to keep me while I continued the hunt.

Kate Field shorts that " Died of Din. ners " should be the ineoriptiou on ;teeny a public man's gravetitone, as a warning to rising generatione. It is said that the late Chief .luetioe Waite, Juetioe Matthews and justice Miller, of the United States Supreme Court,. all succumbed to diseases fostered by dining at late hours. The late dinner, especially the public late dinner, is a nuisance. Why 'domed intelligent men be called upon to hasten their departure to re region where banquets are unknown by siting down to it oinner at EL time when meet people are golog to bed, and listening to long and often ary epeeches until ell hours in the morning? THE PRINCE AND TI113 TAVERN. The action of the Prince of Wales regard. ing an attempt to procure it liquor lioetute at Sandringham is of great interest, and will, doubtless, have oonsiderable weight in the struggle for a looal option law in Great Britain. It pppeare, by it speech recently delivered in Glasgow by Sir Wilfrid Law- son, that a publican recently undertook to seoure a tavern lioense et Sandringham, and upon His Royal Highness hearing of this he took prompt measures against the applicant, with the effect of keepiag the municipality dear of it drink shop. The point made by Sir Wilfrid is obvious If the Prinoe was entitled o 1380 bis right of ownership to the exclbeion of a beer shop, the citizens as it whole should have it simi. lar right.

She now sues to regain possession of the property. Ah, rum, how muck mieery thou art rtsponei- ble for, and how terrible is the thought of the devastation and rain brought by thy aid upon the bodies and minis of men and women, who ehoeld be as they were ix. tended to be, "only it little lower than the angels. 2 Lemon arm WHISKEY.

GLADSTONE WISHED IT OTHERWISE. Opening Proceedings in Parliirmont—Ildr, Gladstone's Letter on Parnell—Thu Debate on the Address to the Queen - 5 lie Behring Sea Trouble. A London cable says : After the reading of the Queen's epee& Mr. Balfour gave eaten' that he would introduce four hills relatieg to Ireland. Mr. Gladstone gave notice of the introduction of a bill to re. move the disability which prevents Catholics from occupying the offices of Lord Chancellor of England and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Mr. Balfour an- nounced that be would re.introduce the Irish Land Bill on Thursday next. W. H. Smith, the Government leader, intimated that the Government would take the whole time of the House until the lead- ing bills were read it seeped time. He said the Government did not intend to appoint 13011143134381011 tO inquire foto the Enauu re- lief expedition. The Ministry, he added, Was in no genes responeible for the selec- tion of Stanley's steff. Mr. Slevey moved a resolution simply thanking the Qtmen for the speech ad- dressed by her Mejesty to Parliament. Mr. Fulton (Conservative) emended the motion. omesecant's SPEECH. Mr. Gladstone said that the change in the form of the address in rattly to the Queen's speech appeared to proceed from tne aestuamtion that only a single amend- ment could be moved on the new form. Anxious as he wee to expedite liminess by preventing discussion of topics not men- tioned in the speeith from the throne, he felt that the difficulty of thus confining the debate had been greatly in- creased by Mr. Smith's annonnoemen 101 the Government's intention to take the whole time of the House until the Govern. rnent bills were read a second time Many membere would not be willing to permit their former privileges to be so cur. tailed. M01.00Ver, the Government had avoided reference to some important matters. Was the House to understand that there exieted nothing in the differ• elutes with the United States regarding Behring Sea that was likely to inter- fere with the continued existence the frendl lest relations with their kith and kin across the Atlantic? Ought certain evente in the Turkish Empire -- events that had made a deep impression upon the mind and heart of the country— to be treated with silence ? Although he did not expect to find in the speech from tbe throne any reference to painful state- ments that hed been made regarding the Emin relief expedition, he desired to know whether the relation') of the Government towards the expedition had been mole as to make it the duty of the Ministry to .take steps to a.scertein what truth there was in statements that compromised the reputa- tion of the English people for humanity. Referring to Leland, Jler. Gladstone said it was unfortunate that the Government were not content with inserting in the speech words stating the improved condition of the country,but likewise thought it necessary to compliment themselves about the oause of the improvement, whereon members of the Opposition were bound to express die - sent. The list of measures which tied been added NS a postaript to the speech places the Government in a position of no xespoembility regarding them. They were told that the Ministry had prepared a bill proposing local government for Ireland. Would tbat consoling assurance satisfy the country? Was the House prepared to wait indefinitely upon the convenience of the Government in outer to learn how they intended to deal with the greatest questions of the day. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") War. Smith, replying to Mr. Gladstone, oeclared that the Government had the strongest hopes that the Behring Sea negotiations would prove successful. He knew no reason for apprehending any diffi- culty in connection with the matter. Tile Government mitopethized with tbe perse- cuted reople of the Turkish Empire and took what measures were practicable to abate their sufferings. In regard to the Emin relief expedition the government had no right to institute an inquiry, as the expenditure was it pure voluntary under- taking. Regarding the distress in Ireland, ample measures would be taken to meetthe trouble and care for the people in every die- triot. Mr. Morley intimated that he would in- troduce a motion concerning recent eyelets in Tipperary, and Mr. Smith promised that an opportunity would be given for a full discuesion of the subject. Opening of the Rouse. Mr. Parnell entered the House of Com- mons et 2 o'clock. The first member to greet him was Cunningham Graham, who accosted him in the lobby and shook him warmly by the baud. Mr. Parnell, after congrandeting, Mr. Corbett, a home tole member, upon his recent marriage, man- aged to elude tbe crowd of joarualists waiting in the lobby in the hope of obtain- ing en interview with the Irish leader, ,,,na left the House accompanied by &Latin Mo- Ceethy. The Parnellite members did not know until after the reading of the Queen's epeech at what time they were to meet Mr. Parnell, who hod not communicated with ht* follovvere since tbe sending out of tbe cereal a r calling the meeting. The Nenonalist members all declered that if Partied were realeoted to the leadership he would receive the full support of the party. Individual Nationalists, however, recognizing the feeling of the English Ltherele in the wetter, expressed them. schen as opposed to Parnell's retaining the leaderehip. No one knew what Parnell's dealt:don would be, but all deoleaed he would do the right The Liberel members were Filmed unani. measly of the conviction that Parnell would have to go. The Nationalist meeting was held in a committee room in the House of Conunons. Every Nationalist member in town was present and the room was crowded. Mr. Power, chief Nationalist whip, pre- eided, with Mr. McCarthy on his right. Mr. Parnell was cheered eh he entered the committee room and took hitt seat on the left of the chairman. There WAS a general impression before- hand that Parnell would be asked to pre• side as neuel, but when the members had assembled Mr. MoOarthy's proposal that Mr. Power be Made chairman was accepted. The sitting was private, but outsiders in the corridor heard constant cheering as Mr. Power explained the feel- ing of the Irish petty towards its leader. Mr. Power referred to Parnell's serviiee itt betialf of Ireland, and said he believed there was it uneeimone feeling that Pennell ehould be remleoted chairmen of the Iriele party. The meeting re-eleoted Mr. Parnell by it unanimous vote.

Sr. Onetime/ems Letter. Dena Momme,—Having arrived at a certain conclusion wikb reffard to the continuance of Mr, Parcell's Jeaderehie of the Irish party, have seen lir . MeCartby on. my arrival in towe, and have keened Irma him whether I am likhy to receive from Mr. Parnelt I:dwelt-any communication on the subject. Mr. hicharthe replied that he was unable to give mo Any im r- otation. I mentioned to hire thee in IDA after the terrible mutat re in Phomie Pare. mr. Parnell, although totally rerairved from any idea of respeneibility had eponteneously written and offered to take tbe Chiltern Hundreds, an otter much to his honor, but 'which I thought it my duty to decline. While clinging to the hope ofn communication from_ Mr. Par- nell, to whomsoever addressed, I thought it necessary, viewing the arrangemema for toe commencement of the session to -m r - row, to kieguaiet hr. McCarthy with the oonalu- sion at which ater twine an the meant of obser, vation and reflection in my power, I had myself arrived. It was that, notwithstanding the splendid services rendered by Mr. Parnell to his country, his routineamke at the present moment in the leadership would be produetive of conga - 'ponces disastrous in the highest degree to the cause of Ireland. I think I may be wa ranted in asking you BO far to t.,xpand the conclusions given aboveas to add that Mr. Parnell's continu- ance as leader would not only piaci) many hearty and effective friends of the Irish, cause in it posi- tion of groat embarrassment, but would render my retention of the leadership, based as it has been npon the preseculion of the Irish °awe, °An:kept a nullity. Thio expansion of my views I begged Mr. McCarthy to regard as confidential and not intended for his col- leagues generally if he found that Mr Parnell contemplated spontaneous a0E4on; but I also begged that he would make known to the Irish party at their meeting to -morrow that sueh was my conclusion, if he should and that Mr. Parnell has not in contemplation the action indicated. 1 now write you in case he should be unable to communicate with Mr., Parnell, as 1 understand you may possibly have an opening co -morrow through another channel. Should you have such an opening, eg ou to make known to Mr. Parnell the conclus(ou stated in this letter. I have thought it hest to put it in terme simple and direct, much as I should have liked, had it lain in my power, to alleviate the per- sonal nature of the situation as respects the manner of conveying what my public duty has made ix an obligation to say. I rely entirely on your good feeling, tact and judgment, (Signed), WiTziAm E, GLADSTONE. Parnell or Nothing. Sir Chivies Russell, in a epeeoh at Hack- ney, said many Trish ntembere were sad at heart because of the calamity that had befallen the cause of Ireland. He believed they wished that Parnell would bow his head to the storm and recognize the fact that he had inflioted a serious wound upon the conscience of the people of both coun- tries, and had damaged the cause for which he had fought so long. The Irish members met at 10 cdolook to- night, as arranged, but without Parnell, who was in another part of the House. Another meeting has been arranged for to- morrow. Several Liberal candidates have written letters announcing that they with- draw from the field, foreseeing certain defeat. The Parnellites openly assert that they mean to stick to Parnell, even if they should delay Home Rule fifteen years by so doing. What the Press Says. The article eulogizes Devitt's independ- enoe in these words ; We shall be sum prieed if the beet men of the Irish rime at home and abroad do not co-operate witla Mr. Devitt in his best efforte to redeem his country from disgrace end the MEMO for which be has suffered from ignominious de- struotion. The London oorrespondent of the Free. man's Journal Sap the Parnellites, although anxious to avoid, if possible, the catas- trophe of Mr. Gladstone's retirement, are determined to remain steadfast in their support. of Parnell. It ie stated, however, that nothing will be done until advice is received by cable from Menne Dillon, O'Brien and O'Connor, who are at present itt America in the tinterests of the Irish mulabee. T'Express says: It will be interesting to observe how the Liberals wilibehave wben Parnell tramples upon them in the manner in which be is accustomed to tr ample upon his Irish followers. TWO BOILERS EXPLODE. A nd Six Men Ara Instantly Killed and li'lany Others Injured. A St. hobo's, N. B., clasped& says: One of tbe inost horrible accidents that has ever taken place in this vioinity occurred this morning et South Bay. The boilers in 0. D. Stilton's mill exploded and killed six men, and several others are so seriously injured that they are not expected to live. From what can be learned the boilers were low, and water was turned on with the result that they ex - exploded. One boiler went right through the end of the mill to the bay, a distance of about 500 feet, while the other was sent flying through the air and landed on a hill about 100 yards distant. An old msin named Henry Baird, who was employed pilieg lumber outside the mill, went into the building a few minutes before the explosion to dry himself, He got on top of the boilers, and was carried with the boiler into the bay and torn to pieces, J11.13308 Baird, his son, is also among tbe killed. After the explosion tbe mill took fire and was completely destroyed. 'The mill was run by Dunn de Gregory, and was dein it good business. There was an insurance of 15 000 on the mill against fire. Hundreds of people from Halifax are visiting the scene this after- noon. LATE, BUT NOT TOO LATE. -- Lover No.i neturne to Snatch the Cup of Bliss from No. Z's Lips. A Halifax despatch says: A young man who left Halifax about seven years ago went out to seek his fortune comforted by the fact that the young lady to wbom he had been paying attention had promised to be hie when he should return for her. Some time since, thinking her betrothed had given her up, and not hearing from him, she promised to bestow her heart and hand on another young man who paid her attention. The wedding was to have taken plaoe this week, and nearly all arrange- ments had been made, even to tbe cabs being hired. On Saturday evening tbe happy prospective groom was to call for the young lady, and they were to go together to oonaplete the arrangements for the cere- mony. But during the afternoon the absent lover arrived in the city, and early in the evening celled upon the young lady. He upbraided her with being untrue to him, and pressed hie suit ad successfully that when lover No. 2 put in an appearanin he was informed that the ceremony, as far as he was concerned, was off.

Francis betiame a director of the East Indian Company and beteg a staunch supporter of Pitt, was created it baronet by that Minister in 1793. Sir Francis died in 1810, leaving several sons Sir Thomas Baeiog, the eldest, who succeeded to the beronetoy, was born in 1772 and dieci in 1848. He took no active part iu the bade nese of the firm, and was ohiefly known for his encouragement of art. Alexander Baring, the second son of Sir Francis, wee regarded as one of the greatest members of the family. He was born ±0 1774, and after initiation into busines in London, came to the United States and, for a time, concluded the trans-Atlantio business of the company. While living in Philadel- phia, he married Harriet, daughter of Senator Bingham'. His political life began in 1812, when he entered Parlament as member for Taunton. On the formation of the Peel Ministry, in 1834, he became President of the Board of Trade, and in 1835 he was raised to tbe peerage as Lord Aehburton. In 1842 he was appoiuted Special Ambassador to the United States, and in August of the same year he con. eluded the celebrated Ashburton treaty, by which the frontier line between tbe State of Maine and Canada was definitely agreed to.
