federation, Mr. Abbott wee returned to
the House of Commons, and continued to
take great iutereat in legal questions that
came op in the House. In the negotia•
time of the syndicate of which Sir Hugh
Allan wee chief for the Pacific; Railway
°barter, Mr. Abbott noted 08 counsel, ancl
in the defeat of the Government at that
time Mr. Abbott shared, and from 1874
to 1880 was without a seat in Parliament.
He was returned once more in the latter
year, and sat through the Parliament of
1883 87, Retiriug then, he was nub
se neatly elevated to the Senate. On
the death of Sir John Mao(1onald in
June, 1891, Mr. Abbott, at the negent
solioltation of the Conservative party in
Parliament, accepted the Premiership,
which position ill•healtlt compelled him
to resign in the Fall of 1892. It was
while holding the otboe of Prime Minis-
ter that he received the honor of Knight•
hood. The legislative achievements of
the deceased statesman have been chiefly
along the line of his first work, Next to
the Liooivonoy AO, the measure by
whioh hie reputation hae beon most en.

He differed with them no to the proper
manner of dealing with the Jesuits' Es.

disallowed and never been permitted to
remain on the statute books of a British
ooloty. There should be but one oftioial
language in this country, and in this he
also differed with his party. The French
priesthood of Quebec endeavored to oniti•
vats a French national senbimeub which'�
created dissenting spirits within our
borders and did not feud to unite us as
one grand rano and nation. The people
of Manitoba should be permitted to de.

Sir John Abbott, who succeeded Sir
John A. Maodonald ae Premier of the
Dominion, and who resigned a few
menthe ago in favor of the present Prime
Minister, Sir John' Thompson, died at
hie residence, Montreal; shortly before
nine o'olook Monday evening. The ex•
Premier has been in poor health for some
months, Hie advauaed age and his poor
health forced him to resign the Premier-
ship, and he took a trip t0 Europe with
the hope of gaining some of his old time
vigor. He was absent for over three
months, but the trip did not do him any
material benefit, and he returned in a
enfeebled oondition. Roddick and
other prominent medical men who were
called in, after ronenitatiop, decided the
patient was Buffering from a species al
oaneer of the bowels, and that an opera-
tion was imperative. This operation was
performed, but though it afforded relief
it brought no permanent cure, and Sir
John gradually grew weaker, until death
ended hie sufferings. Elle end was pease•

John J•. Caldwell Abbott was born 72
years ago in the Rectory of St. Andrew's
pariah, County of Argenteuil, Quebeo.
His father was the Rev. Joseph Abbott,
M. A„ svho in 1818 came from England
and settled in St. Andrew's as the first
Anglican incumbent. The elder Abbott,
after a brief residence at St, Andrew's,
,narriod Harriet, daughter of the Rev.
Richard Bradford, rector of theadjoinf„g
parish of Chatham. The union resulted
in the birth of a son on March 121h,1824.
Careful training at the hand of his
father, with the intent of entering upon
a university course, °coupled the first
few years of the future statesman's life,
which passed uneventfully until he went
to Montreal and matriculated at MoGill
College. Here his conesegradunlly open•
edahbforhim,and after severs l years of
close application, during which his life
was one of study—industrious and ardent
—he graduated a B. C. L. He atonce
entered upon the study of law, and in his
27th year was called to the bar of Lower
Canada. These were stirring times in
the political history
y of Canada. Two
years after Mr. Abbott commenced his
practice a Montreal mob burned the
arliament House and practically drove
the Governor out of the city. There is
no record, however , that Mr. Abbott took
much more than the common interest in
these events, For several years he do•
voted himself chiefly to oommercial law
and built up a reputation for ahrewdnese
and caution. Then, and ever afterwards,
he was reckoned a safe man with whom
fol take counsel, a man little liket to tisk

a one throw of fortune's dine. It
was not until 1859 that he entered
political life as member for hie native
oo00ty in the Assembly of Canada.
From that time onward he took an active
part in the transaotions or the House,
notably in reference to commercial
matters. He was made a Q. 0. in 1882,
and for a short time was a member of
the Sandlield Macdonald Ministry as
Solioitor•Geueral. In 1864, after a good
deal of research, be introduced and
fought through the House the "Insolvent
Act," probably his chief work as a legia-
lator. The Act has been amended at
various times, bub in the bill of Mr. Ab-
