From The Toronto World Thursday evening the 20th of January . thete was shipped oLt the evening train gob g east from Toronto, one of those hlat k boxes used by undertakers for trat sorting the remains of the depart- ed. This box contained the body of a Voting man whose death is shrouded in my. tery. On December 24th last the re- mains of a well-dressed young man were d out of the York -street slip by 11" Foster, who drives the Palmer Ise 'bus. The body was removed to the City Morgue, where it lay for a we k without being iden tified„ Then it wae handed over to undertaker McCabe, win does the planting of unclaimed, bod ies for the city. Mr. M cCabe came to t e conclusion that the young nint belt nged to a genteel family. His clot hes were new and fashionably cut, ea,p was of Persian Iamb and • his s were of the beat material. Not a p of paper or a cent of money, how eve, were found in his pockets. In his fro It collar button hole was a diamond still. The features were not those of one who had been dissipating. So un- der'aker McCabe and his experienced. assi,stant, Mr. " Charley Bolton, em- bal lied the remains after the most ap- proved fashion. As Mr. Bolton retnark- tiSt1 Hi Or his boo ser ed toThe World himself, "the- were just as natural as life, a peaceful- smile on-acalm countenance." They were then placed away to await developments. The most minute inspection of the cloth- ing failed to disclose any 'mark or name which would lead up to a discovery. On the back of the buttons, however, were stamped the II am e ` ` E. & T. Mein ty r e , Montreal." Last Monday night Mr. Bolton studied over the Matter and came to the conclusien that that Must be the naint of the tailor who made the clothes, and he so Unformed Mr. • Mc- Cabe. Then a button and a ,piece of cloth cut from the coat were sent to Montreal, also the measurements of the body. • Wednesdayafternoon an elderly gentle: mon entered the undertaker's shop and asked to see the reniains. The old -man at once identified them as those cif hirS son. The latter was Mr. liareisse tommisson merch'arit of Monti4eal., The sending of the button and piece of cloth to that city at once led up t� -the young man's identification. The clothes were made at McIntyre's ; the tailors recognized the cloth at once. It was a new pattern, and young Quintal had purchased the first suit off it. Then the tailors communicated with the young man's father and he came straight on to Toronto. He was naturally very sad to see the dead body of his son, but was overjoyed to get possession of it while it still bore a true likeness of what he was in life. Old Mr. Quintal was seen before h left for Montreal last evening with th remains. He said: "My son Narciss was aged 24. fie was last seen in Mo treal at 7 oklock on the night of Decent- 1Der 19th last by his brother. He was t iny place of business that clay. He le t in the afternoon to get a lunch. I hav never knOwn him to drink, gamble o keep bad company. I was to bay made him a panne in my business o January first. 1 an't imagine wh t brought him to T Onto. He had. n friends in this city I -don't think, h had very,much nioi4ey with hit -h. .W expected him baq home every da never dreaming for a moment that h met such an untimely and mysterious death." From the way in which Mr. Quintal answered several queitions it is belleved that the young man was laboring i'mder a depression of spirits, broughti about' by circumstances which the fathei. did not wish to disclose. The old gentleman was not pressed for answers. . Young Quintal arrived in Toronto on the morning of December 20. That evening he had aphySician'sprescriptipn made up at J. D. Matheson's drug store in King -street. The name written ,On the prescription was E. Latirent." The prescription was supposed tp eon- tain an opiate. Four—days later when his body was found in the bay, Mr. Matheson's clerk, Ernest Dubois, identified it as that of ' the young man who had been at the store. On the morning of December 24 Quintal had his breakfastat Kelly's Hotel. That was the la,s't seen of him alive in Toronto. There seems to be little doubt that lie suicided and that -he made away with all his effects to avoid identification. Mr. Quintal paid Undertaker McCabe handsomely for his trouble. She Didn'i See. " How old would you take me to be, Mr. Snooks ?"she lisped, looking unut- terable things at him. . "1 dunno," he relied, _ twistine ner- vously about in his chair. "I'm awfully old, assure you. ' I've seen 23 summers." • I "Then you ought to wear glassesIf he replied earnestly. 1 1 Why, Mr. SnOoks ! Glasses at twenty-three ?" " Yes; your eyesight must be 'bad." " sure I don't why you should think so," she pouted. -- "Because I'm afraid about 20 sum- mers have gone bY that you haven't seen." Mothers and Daughters. A young girl, beautiful and attractive. while engaged to be married to an hon- est, honorable gentleman a few years ago, became entangled in the toils of a scapegrace, who wished to marry her solely for her fortune. The girl was giddy and weak and unable to free her- self. • " Why do you not go to your. Moth- er ?" asked a friend. "It is ,she who should Protect you from such a villain." "Mother is at the head Of two or three charitable organizational" was the reply. , "She has too many foundlings and emigrants and ragged schools to care for to attend to my love affairs." Her mother knew nothing of the mat-, ter until she broke her engagement and married the man whom she feared even before marriage, who treated her with cruelty and forced her to leave him in a year, a broken-hearted woman. Like too many girls, she was left to Choose her husband without the help or advice of any friend. Now it is right for a mother to take part in organized charities, and to care for foundlings, emigrants, or any other of God's needy creatures, provided she does not, neglect those children ivhorn He has put espedially in her charge. The duty of a mother to her girls does not end when she has: fed, clothed and educated them. 1 I One of the most womanly women in the court of Queen Victoria,: herself middle-aged, presented a friend to her aged mother with the tender words, "She is not only my mother, but most intimate friend." ' How many of our girl -readers Iclai their mother as an intimate friend ? t is usually the fault Of the daughter if this loving comradeship does not exit. 7 dow, out of which there was room for the favored cows to stretch their heads. One evening we were smoking as usual, When I espied a pot of blue paint on the deck of the cow house,' with, as bad luck would have it. a brush in the pot. I cannot say what induced me, but I de- liberately took the brush and painted the tips of the noses and the horns of both animals a pretty light blue. Hav- ing done this I thought no more of the matter. The next morning Her Majesty —well, I think I had better say no more about it. I, the culprit, was denounced, and had to keep out of the way for a day or two. Then it was that the good-na- tured Prince proved himself a friend and got me out of my scrape, A Grown-up " Enfa,nt Terrible." A prominent Chicago real-estate man had a bachelor partner who used to read letters of an ardent and affeetionate nature from a young lady who signed herself "Susie."The hero of the story went away on an extended trip, and re- turned just in time to attend the wed- -ding of his partner. Wishing th show his good -will, he sent the happy couple a wedding present, and at the edding reception stepped gallaTly forward to pay his respects. "1 hardly feel like a, strang r," he said, in his sweetest tones, ad ressing the bride; "in fact, I feel as th ugh might to be well acquainted w th my partner's wife, since he has ofte done me the honor to read me extrac s from his dear Susie's letters."
