.Asylum Burned. in his rag but for some men that mune
scene of the most frightful calamity ever load was taken out of the wagon. The
recorded in her history for over two
hundred years. The famous Provincial
Insane Asylum, which is known all over
Canada and the United States, and
which contained inmates from every
portion of the continent, was reduced to
a mass of ruins. The magnificent
structure has been burned to the
ground, and of the fifteen hundred in-
mates over one hundred are supposed to
have perished in the flames. The build-
ings constituting the St. Jean de Dieu
asylum are situated at Longue Pointe,
a small place about four miles from
Montreal fronting the River St. Law-
rence. The asylnm,which was establish-
ed by the Quebec Government in 1873,
consisted of a main building and four
smaller buildings connected by wings,
with a total frontage of 630 feet. The
buildings were of brick and cut stone.
The principal building was six storeys
high, end the other buildings five
etoreys in height. The institution was
under the care of the Providence Order
of Nuns.
along. he whip was !stopped. The
On Tuesday last, Montreal was the
About half -past elevenTuesday fore-
noon smoke was discovered entering the
chaplain's room in the centre building,
The ,chaplain immediately rushed out
into the chapel and made a desperate
effort to save whatever he could, but he
had to beat a hasty retreat after being
badly burned. In the meantime the fire,
which ie supposed to have started in a
cupboard in the top of the centre build-
ing, spread with amazing radidity, and
the buildings were in an incredibly short
space of time enveloped in flames. There
were over fifteen hundred inmates in
the burning building at the time.
A SCENIC OF HORROR.
The scene was well-nigh indescribable.
There were one hundred andesixty-three
sisters in the asylum, and their first care
was for the unfortunate inmates who
were unable to care for themselves.
Many of the inmates rushed from their
rooms and jumped from the different
storeys of the buildings to the grounds
beneath, which were soon swarming
with demented peopie rushing wildly
hither and thither. In the backgrounds
stood the vast buildings almost entirely
enveloped in flames, which shot _high
into the skies. Only the two end wings
were untouched, but it was eider a ques-
tion of time, when these, too, should go.
Of the centre building nothing was
vieible but flames arid smoke, and at in-
tervals portions of the walls could be
seen tumbling into the fiery mass below.
Above the blames could be heard the
shrieks and moans of many of the de-
mented inmates being slowly roasted to
death in the upper storeys of the build-
ings. At intervals men and women
would appear at the windows, linger
for a moment amidst the smoke and
flame, and then frantically jump to the
ground below, or– fascinated by the
flames be engulfed in the seething masa
of fire. Hundreds who had escaped
wandered aimlessly around ' the
grounds; some in nothing but their
underclothes, with bare feet, and a
few, who had torn their garments
off them in their excitement with noth-
ing on. To add to the horrors of the
scene the rain Was pouring down in tor-
rents, and the frightened inmates dazed
with terror were huddled around in
groups shuddering and moaning. It
was a frightful sight, and ono. which
once seen was not likely to be soon for-
gotten. The sisters and men connected
with the asylum worked like heroes to
rescue the inmates from their terrible
position. Many a fragile sister, losing
all thought of herself, but fired w ith
heroism, nettled to the cells and literal-
ly dragged the inmates, who in many
cases, fascinated by the flames, refused
to move, out of their danger. Mean-
while the fire continued to burn with
unabated fury, and it soon became
dangerous to approach within thenty-.
five yards of the burning buildings.
The demented inmates, however, ap-
peared to be entirely oblivious to all
danger.

glances of the men, felt the gentle stroke

• A Famous Author.
The following is a current description
of William Black, the novelist, by one
who olefins to have seen him undv
nearly all conditions : "1 have always
found him the -same pleasant, sympa-
thetic companion, the same thoughtful,'
unostentatious, quick-witted gentleman.
Tightly built, lithe of limb, strong in
the arm, capable of great physical en-
durance, the novelist is nevertheless be-
low the medium height. Short black
hair, a thick brown mustache, a dark
hazel eye, a firm mouth, a square fore-
head, Black gives you the ,idea of com-
pact strength—a small parcel, so to
'speak, well packed. You might sooner
take him for an artillery officer who had
seen service, a yachtsman,or a man who
spent most of his life in out -door sports
and pastimes, than set him down as an
author, and particularly as a novelist."

An Aggressive Church.
According to a Rome correspondent
the Emperor of Austria may deed the
troublesome province of Trieste to Pope
Leo as a seat for his temporal power.
Trieste has a. population in the city and
surrounding '‘ district of about 150,000,
largely composed of Italians and Slays,
with a few Germans. If the Pope
would only take his residence there he
would be in the midst of the same
ancient grandeur and modern squalor
that was characteristic of Rome before
the days of Garibaldi.

Buying a Wedding TrouSseau.
_
In buying a trousseau I advise every
young woman to commence with under-
wear, gloves, shoes, hosiery and such
articles as 'do not change much in a
year, while the hats and gowns should
be the last selected, as then one is more
apt to have the latest styles. Too many
gowns for one's position in society, and
too few pieces of underwear, etc., is
better reversed. It is customary for a
bride to provide table and bed -linen and
all toweling neceesary for her prospec-
tive home; but this part of the outfit I
do not include in my present list. If
the bride to be, can save a trifle in the
buying of her wardrobe, she will find
that a small sum is convenient to have
to expend in pretty things for her new
home, which cannot rightly be included
with the furniture. In furnishing a
home it is a wise plan to buy for the
kitchen first, then bed -rooms, dining -
room, and lastly the parlor; for one inky
do without many things in the parlor,
but "where is the man who will do
without dining ?"—Eine.. M. HOOFER,iO
Ladies' Horne Journal.
Half a dozen of the more violent, fren-
zied by excitement, rushed from their
keepers, and jumping under the tumbl-
ing walls started to yell at the top of
their voices, tearing their hair and con-
torting their faces in a most awful man-
ner, and laughing like witches at the
ruin that was being done. Thek had to
be removed by force. While the flames
were at their height many of the in-
mates still remained inside, although
the nuns and doctors had done every-
thing in their power to get them out.
The flames seemed to have a terrible
fascination for the poor creatures, who
in many instances welcomed, the horrible
death that awaited them. All hope of
saving those in the upper portions of
the building Wall soon abandoned. Most
of the men were got out, but many
women, especially those in the violent
wards, had to be left to their fate.
Many acts of heroism were performed by
the nuns and doctors in trying to save
the inmates. Dr. Bourque one of the
medical attendants, continued his efforts
until he had to be carried out half dead
with smoke. As soon as one body of
rescuers was exhausted there were
others to take their places, until at least
two-thirds of the inmates had been res-
cued.
LATEST ADVICES.
Latest advices state that the authori-
ties are still unible to give any idea of
the exact loss of life, but it is believed
that over one hundred inmates have
perished in the flames. In addition,
there are believed to be hundreds who
escaped from the keepers to the woods
still missing. Those who were removed
in safety are now quartered in the vari-
ous Catholic institutions throughout the
city. The Protestant insane asylum
has offered to take 200 of the patients.
Seven nuns are reported to be missing,
but it is only certain that one has per-
ished.
The Government, it is understood,
will take steps towards the rebuilding
sof the asylum at once.
• Humanity Better Than Rage.
Dr. Kate Bushnell, of Chicago,writes
"I saw a horse that had fallen under
its burden on the street. Its owner was
beating it pitilessly to make it get up
and move on. How it made us shudder
to hear the whiz and crack of the whip
on the poor animal's back! But the
panting horse neither flinched under the
whip nor stirred a muscle to get up.
What was the matter? Was it wilful
stubbornness? It looked like it. The
•driver would have whipped it to death

English Priests Wanted.
There is a loud call in New .Orleans
for Roman Catholic priests who can
speak English. Probably the French
dignitaries of the church in that city
consider the demand unreasonable.
Why should devout Catholics care
whether their priests speak English,
French or Latin But the dignitaries
have discovered neeertheless that Many
English-speaking Catholics have been
tempted to enter Protestant churches
because they can grasp what is going on
there. So the vicar -general is to go to
Ireland shortly, to look up a few Irish
priests with rich bog -trotter brogues,
to satisfy the craving of the Catholics
for something in the way of speech
which they can understand. Doubtless
the' imported Irishmen will be able to.
expound the gospel and the laws of the
land, as interpreted by -tthe Pope, in a
manner entirely satisfactory to their
French overseers and the Italian board
of review at Rome.

In the mountaitioes part of north
Carolina there is a settlement of Sootch
Highlanders, who still preserve the
language and quaint customs of their
forefathers. Dominie S ----was a min-
ister in this mountain kirk for many
years, and some of his shrewd, sayings
are still remembered. The old pastor
once took a young member of his ohurch
to task sharply.
"What ails ye, Donald? A twel'
month ago ye were aye keen wi' the
Sunday -school and at the prayer meet-
ing, an' now ye seldom show yer face at
either. Ye hae given up family prayer,
an' I misdoubt me that ye read but
seldom in the Holy Book."
• Donald replied "that his heart was
unaccountably cold • that the fire and
hope of his early fAtitli had died out".
Man," said the Dominic), severely,
"When I started to Kirnputtoch yeeter-
dayl, I heard the coach before me, and
whiles the driver blew his horn, and the
sun was shining, was aye gay and com-
forting. But in the afternoon, the sun
was hid and there was nae horn. Did I
sit me down on the roadside? No, I
knew the read to Kirnputtoch, and I
walked in. it. Ye're on the way to a
Kirnputtoch on high. Walk in it. If
the sun of heaven shines on ye, -and the
angels blow their horns, weel and good.
But if not,—keep on the road to iiirn-
puttoch.
Many of us could draw strength and
comfort from the homely lesson of the
old Dominie.

TORO*TO, May 7th.—The horse trade this week
is duller than ever '• in fadt there is hardly any
demand at all, and for the few being sold very
low prices are:realized. The labor strikea are
having somewhat of an adverse effect upon the
demand for work horses, and no other kind are
in request ,at present. At Grand's to -day 30
general purpose horses were offered, and 10 sold,
at prices ranging from $96 -to $125.. Trade is ex-
pected to be dull for a time.
MONTREAL, May 7th.—The horse trade continues
active, but it is chiefly for exportation to the
United States, before there is. any further ad-
vance in the American tariff. The Shipments to
the United Staten last week were: 222 horses,
costing here $22,667.60 or an average price of
$102.10 each. The highest priced large lot were
20 horses, which cost $2,530, and the lowest
priced lot, 16 horses, which cost $1,305.50.
