Seltluu,, if ever, did the Kingston Opera house contain a larger and more ;ii td1ig. ut audience them that which assembled Wetine•etlay night to her' the lecture oft "Higher Edu- cation," by I1un. 11 r. Chapl.•au,. Siterrtai-y of Sate for Canada. The chair was ably tilled by Hon. Dr. Sullivan, who m••dc an excellent opening 111c1rrss, and aulmtg those ou the platform were : Jobe [McIn- tyre, Q. U, Capt. (Luskin, James Devlin and others. THE LECTURE. 1v1r. Chapleau was warmly- r•eueiv• ed anal his lecture create.i e grand ink - pression on his hearers. He pointed out that Quebec was u standeld with regard to tit• system of educe - tion. The proportion of children educated was mol inferior to that in any 01 her part of the Dautiuion. Commercial education might be slightly neglected Ile claimed that higher education was needed parties ularly in Canada at present. Ir this country were the qualities with which great nations are favored, and, al,ove all, the people had in• domitable faith in its manifest des, tiny. in Canada the poisonous plant of socialism would not grow. IIe epoke of higher education being the cleans of solvibg the labor pros blem, and, while speaking in a loy. al strain, said woe to the mall who attempted to disturb the harmony of God Save the Queen. He claimed to i.e an equal righter, as were all the people in Quebec. 'There public men tried to meet the wishes of all sections and races, They even taught people the English language to save then[ the trouble of learning French—(laughter)—and married their daughters,too,which he did not regret ; but the English proved re- taliators and married our sons. IIe was a member of the. Legislature which gave the Protestant majority power to spend its own share of the money for -education, and he would act so again. What surprised him was that in Quebec, which the Jes• uit hill affected a great deal, the set- tlement caused no trouble, while in other provinces which it did not af, fect at all it caused considerable agi, tation. Some people thought a roan could nothe loyal if bespoke French only. Those he reminded of the de, fence of Quebec against Americans by a militia who could not speak a word of English, There was no connection whatever between Ian, guage and loyalty. There was no more loyal man than the French Canadian Roman Catholic habi.. tent. Owing to the blood that flow- ed in his veins and his oducatiou, ho always rose above prejudices. He risked his* all on two occasions, viz., when he favored confederation, which, was said to be a dark engine to drive the French out of Canada, and when he opposed the agitation in favor of a traitor -11m. If those in author- ity in Quebec Lad done their duty, the Riel flame would never have been kindled, and many heartburn, ings would have been saved. In a beautiful peroration he urged a greater mixing of the people of Que- bec and Oetlrio. They only need, ed to know each better to love each other more. THE BANQUET. The banquet in the Frontenac hotel was a brilliant affair. About 150 gentlemen sat down to the beau - fully decorated tables. The chair was occupied by Senator Sullivan. On his right was Hon. Mr. Chap, 'eau, the guest of the evening,Prin• cipal Grant, Hon. G. A. Kirkpat• riok and ex -Mayor (iaekin ; on his left, Mayor Drennan, Col. Twitohell, Amori• can consul, M. Quinn, Q. C., and Father Mo W illiame, "oOR 0UEST" was neatly proposed by Johu McIntyre, Q.C. Mr. Chapleau, on rising, received an ovation, He epoke of the extended powers of Secretary Blaine of the Uhited States, and then said he believed one was in his innei most heart a friend of Canada. The only thing he blamed him for was Inving Caueda too much. Ile (the epeake,) ou aide of Parlism•iul, watt nethiug clot than a (tan dian.

Considerable interest is hei rig nianifeeted over the tragic end of ]tour Carrothers. W. D. Lyon, the coroner for the district, and Lir, Emmons, the chief constable, have just returt.ed from a trip to Rainy River. From them some faete have been gathered. Thomas Blake Carruthers canoe to Algoma last June from St. Mary's, Ont., accom- panied b3 his wife and two children. He proceeded up the Rainy River, where lie took up land in the town- slli'p of Morley in the vicinity of the Long Sault Rapids. He lived on the land he took up, and for a time worked at Fortherii.g- ham's saw mill. His domestic re. Iations were unhappy, and he had reason to suspect his wife's fidelity. To his neighbors be had bemoaned his hard lot. He waa in good health up to the time of his death. His wife tells that on the third day of January, while she was down to the river for a pail of water, Carrothers shot himself; at least, on returning she discovered her husband's body Tying on the floor in their house, he having appnrettly shot himself 10 the head; that she then gave the alarm to a neighbor named Jordan, and that Jordan, on going to Carrothers' house, saw that he had been shot in the head, two ballet wounds being apparent. From the evidence that was 'brought out it would appear that deceased was shot in the hack part of the head, about two inches anterior from tile ear. Another wound indicated that a second bullet had entered the face and was found longed in the neck. The tragic affair is shrouded in mys- tery, and is cauFin2 es much local agitation as the Benwell murder. A strong feeling pervades the public, mind that it is not a case of suicide ank that a farther investigation should be made, Iii addu.it'u to the derails furnish- ed above, the Rat Portage News says :—A week or so ago reports reached us of the murder of 1'. 13, Carrothers on Rainy River, but owing to the difficulty of getting correct information we were unable until now to get positive iufortna— tion of the horrible affair Mrs. Carrothers, it transpires, was dis- covered by her husband as being too intimate with a certain young man who is well known around here, and Carrothers thrashed the intru— der in his wife's affections and warned hint if he ever set foot in that region again that he (Carro- thers) would shoot him on sight. Since that time the young man has found it healthy to live in Rat Port- age. From this time Carrothers seems have been moody and morose, the whole culminating in his death by murder or suicide two weeks ago. Tho evidenct goes to show that murder was committed, and the wretch who could so deliberately murder a fellow creature must be brought to justice. A warrant has since been sworn out by Constable Emmons against Mrs. Carrothers for murder. —Word has been received that Baron Hirsch, the wealthy banker ofVieuna,is arranging to send 3,0(0 Russian Jews, of the agricul- tural class, to settle in Manitoba.

Reagents will be used as cheep as the clay which will (oro the base. Patents are being applied fur and for the present the proce,s is kept secret. A new form of railway track hes been patented in Englat t by Messrs. Rntihery and Warburton, coining engineers. It con- sists of n V-shaped bridgojai il, supported on Chairs leaving a seat formed to fir into the hollow of the rail. The chairs are secured to the ties by spikes or bolts, like the chairs ordinarily used on English track, At joints the chairs are exceptionally long, and horizontal bolts pass through (h • lees of the rail and the saddle of the choir, It is claimed that the chairs may be attached to the ties at the proper distance apart for gauge, which may be done at the railway shops, and that the rails can then be laid by unskilled labor. Tue largest carrier of freight for her ;''re is said to 1)0 the steel s'eamc-r owned by the Inter Occan Transportation Co., and built by the Detroit Dry I) re C•s The Maryland carries iron ore from Escn1 uba. to South Chicago, and her largest cargo was 3,322 Dross, or 3,737 net tons of ore, This cargo was taken on a draught of 16 f'., and did the depth of water permit, she would carry 4,000 tons. The largest grain C wrier on the lakes is the steal steamer A in••r:ca, with a record of 111,507 bushels of corn car- ried from Chicago to Buffalo. Those steam- ers are generally fast boats for freight car- riers: the Oswego, this summer, mad-. the 880 miles between 13uffalo and Chicago in 541, 1Gcu., developing an ave'nge spas(' of 16.4 utiles per. hour. The Chignecto ship railway works are now w ell advanced, the road way pr (per being about finished, about ten nor c••ne of two large cuttings being a:1 that re- mains undone. The track is laid frau the southern dock for 13 milts, or t 0 within 4 miles of the northern ,1"cl:. The track, us previously noted, is an nrdieery double track, laid with 110 ln, rat's, 18 (t. l etween centres, with 9 ft x7 x12 M. ties, laid 2 ft. centres, the two tie; at each joint being 27 ft. long, to connect the two tracks, and thus preserve exact gauge for the cradle. The locomotives run "n nue track only, of standard gunge, two loco- . motives being used for each cradle. There are no turn -outs, but traverse tablet at each end; frogless switches riding the rails being used for switching the locomotives. Rock ballast, in inches under the ties is used throughout. Work on the liftug ducks is iu a very forward state, so as to make it fairly certain that the work will alt be completed in 189'1. The pumping machinery at the southern end is in place, and the building for it completed; at the other end the some work is about half completed, old' is likely to bo complete by July 1. At. least 1,500 men will be employed od t10 works next summer. tl: • Vocal Music and Chest Power. Iti n paper recently real before the Mei1l- cal Society of Virginia, Dr. C. N.
