It is doubtful if there is a larger circle of
delighted subscribers in the whole world
thus those who have the good fortune to
be the snbsoribers of the FamilyHer-
ald and Weekly Star of Montreal. e pa-
per itself is simply grand. One would .1 -
most thick the publisher would require s
mint at his bask to turn out !noh a paper
as the Family Herald and Weekly Star ie
every issue.aend it grow. better and better
esoh week. But most astonishing of all
are the beautiful premiums that the Family
Herald publisher" 000asionelly present to
their sub.oribers. Their reputation for this
is se wide as the continent itself. Thi. is
said to be the busiest season the Family
Herald and Weekly Star has had since it
was tlrel founded; and the year is to be
commemorated in a way that will make
newspaper subscriber" everywhere simply
stand aghast. At an enormous expense
running far op into the thousands we hear
that the publisher' of the Family Herald
and Weekly Star have seonred the world
wide celebrity "The Orphan's Prayer." It
is to be produced in twenty colors, and each
Family Herald enbeoriber, renewal, as well
es new, will be entitled to one of them if
they get on the lief in time. How it can
be done is the wonder. Bob the public
know when the publishers of the Family
Herald and weekly Star promise e good
thing they live up to their promisee.
In referring to the buret of admiration
elicited by the annonnoement of 'The Or-
phan's Prayer" perhaps it may not boamiss
to quote whet was said by the greet art
house of Boston, Prang d Co. Here are
their own words: "Full of pathos, it tells
its own story in its own way. We have
not seen anything like it. We prophesy a
great demand." This to prates indeed

ening. The general verdict of the visi-
tors was that Holmeeville still took the
lead in tea -meetings. Ofter satisfying
the inner men, an adjournment was
made to the body of the church, where
a highly intellectual feast was provid-
ed, in the shape of a very Interesting
program. The meeting having been
called to order, the chairman, Rev. G.
W. Andrews, inircduced Rev. E. 011 -
vent, of Benmiller, who gave a very
appropriate address on the long reign
of Her Gracious Majesty, Queen Vic-
toria, it being the longest reign of any
sovereign who has ever sat upon the
throne of Great Britain. The address
was very patriotic; and there was not
one in the audience whose heart did
not within him burn when he could
say, "This is my own, my native land."
Rev. Mr Edge, of Goderich, was the
next speaker who entertained the cud.
ience with his remarks on enthusiasm.
Ile was followed by Rev. J. W. An -
draws, of Londeeboro, Godwin, of God-
erich. and Millyard, of Clinton. The
Choir rendered appropriate music, and
several bolos were given by Rev E.
Becker, Colborne, and Miss Start, of
Woodstock. Mr Becker favored the
audience with a German selection,
which was much appreciated. The
meeting was brought to a successful
close by the singing of the National
Anthem, and all went home thorough-
ly satisfied with their evening's enjoy-
ment.

Practically nothing was done abteut-the;
matter which formed a chief topic -(kg,
discussion in the elections—the Maf1E=:•.,
itoba Schools question. It is believe,
that Premier Greenway and the Mardi
itoba Legislature will make some cornS
cessions • to the Catholio sninorityJ�,
though they will decline to re-eetablis
Separate Schools as demanded by Arch%;:
bishop Langevin; and it 1r safe pro.Ji
pheey that flu Lwrefer Srer>e rramee ;

Hon. Clifford Sifton will reign bis plac$y
as Attorney -General of ranitobe to,z
become Minister of the Interior in the,,,,
Dominion Government, where his:,;;
thorough acquaintanoe with the re -`;q
quirements of the Northwest will make" :'u
him specially valuable.
The next genion, to be held In Feb.,
will be the important one, and the.•
government will in the interim no+
doubt devote itself to the f,prohlems
that have to be faced. Reform of the ..
Senate, amendment of she tariff, set-,
Clement of the school queetipn, curtail-
ing expanses, &c, are among the ques-
tipns that must be dealt with, and the
most of them require vigorous treat-
ment. The public expects -the Liberals
to redeem their anti -election pledges,
and the Liberals have now an oppor-
tunity to show that they can govern
this country wisely and well. We be-
lieve they can do it.
