MELANCHOLY TRAGEDY. --The Globe Y'opt Monday says:—"A melancholy tra- Hedy occurred in the city on Saturday afternoon, when Mr Charles E. Holmes, t''who is well known in business and transportation circles, shot himself 'through the head with a revolver, dy- ung almost instantly. Mr Holmes was the -representative in Toronto of the Merchants' Despatch Co., and was ilii` hly esteemed wherever known. "What colald be the motive for the suicide is a mystery, as his business relations were of a most satisfactory *attire. It is understood, however. :tthat for several weeks past Mr Holmes had: not been in good health, and the reickness may have affected him men- tal y, He was in his 49th year, and d resided nearly all his life rn Toron- i to,;eilthough coming originally from v St. Catharines. He married a daugh- tor.<of Mr Chas. Cameron, the steam - .1100 man, of Collingwood, and leaves & widow and two little daughters, i seven and nine years of age." [De- ceased was a first cousin of R. Holmes, ?'httdwn, J y� CONCERNING OCEAN TRAVEL.—There is. not' a person in .town who enjoys a :;,discussion more than Mr John Rans- ford,; and there are very few who are Butterable to hold their own in one. rit . he has got ' into a discussion tlirouh the press that is causing [. Considerable talk, and over whicEh r his friendsare doing some jocular r_ 5'roaating." It appears that Sir Donald Smith, on his recent re- 'atilrn to Canada, came via the White 'Star Line, of New York, and s,,'SAttirclay Night took exe eption there- to, Claiming that as a representative ':,of-Canada,tie should have patronized 44, Canadian line. Mr Raneford came ' that ` .the defense of Sir Donald, alleging atfor a man of Mr Smith's years, • , nd.; :particularly in midwinter, the t American line was much preferable; h; ` .i ilii e4ford alleged that the :rjne'atf the White Star lin- Was" better then the captain's cab - on the Canadian line, and Saturday ght therefore walks into Mr Rans- d,` Nowwe do not know anything eonally'as to the merits of the two es, but We think Mr Re.nsford'e pos. do ie the aright one. I1 the principle plied' by ' Saturday Night became tri 01or14; it could be applied to ''' # y other; matters of a similar -nate • `: and there would be no each tiring individual liberty to any one who pppened to be a member of the Civil rvlcor 13nt the point on which Mr. tnlford's friends are tiling to guy is that he, a Conservative, a pro- tionist, a hard stickler for every- injg'British, should advocate travel atl American port instead of by a i tiadianone, even if, the service by e latter is inferior, but they entirely Overlook the fact that Mr Rarsford Ilitowell his preference most distinctly Oaa British line of steamers; the very act that the present Government s';:negotiating for a line of vessels MA a Canadian port to Liverpool. ws plainly the necessity for what rRnnsford claims that Sir D. Smith perfectly right in availing him - f. aloxne•--yrs R. Mc.>rlveen, of Stan- ley, who has been looking after her mother, Mrs Butt, since the accident to the latter, returned home last week.

A Sure way to get Other People's Money LIFE IN AFRICA.—Ex-Sergeant Ma- jor Schoof, who was a member of the Mounted Police Force in South Africa for five years, occupied the pulpit of Ontario St. Methodist church on Sun- day morning, and Rattenbury street in the evening, giving an address on "Mission Life and Native Supersti- tions," in South Africa. For nearly an hour he delighted the congregations with the relation .of his experiences and observations while in Africa, and paid a high tribute to the work of the missionaries, .of the superior influences of the simple' story of the Cross as a conquering force, as contrasted with the sword and'rifle. He paid a high tribute to the noble work performed by Livingstone, and showed that in Some parts of the "dark continent" missions were making satidfactory progress, notwithstanding the hin- drances caused by bad traders and bad whiskey. On Monday evening he gave an address in RattenburyStreet church. He does not claim to be eloquent. nor an orator in the general sense of the word, but gives his personal experience while a resident of that country. 'Dressed in his regimental outfit, the platform covered with Znlu, Kaffir and Bushmen's weapons of defence, etc., he interested his hearers for nearly two hours, one time with a thrilling and realistic picture of an engagement be- tween the Zulu warriors and British forces, when 5000 of the former were slain; another time to a personal en- counter with.a full-grown African lion; another to some other phase of African life and experience, a vein of huwor running through the relations. which kept his hearers in laughter. The ad- dress was so different from what such addresses usually are, that there was nota tedious momentin the whole even- ing, and many were sorry when he quit. The Ladies' Aid, under whose auspices the lecture was given, realize about $12 therefrom. He intends to lecture in Ontario St. church at an early day. A native of Germany, only 30 years of age, he has nothing but good words for Great Britain, alleging that her influence is of immense bene- fit in Africa. A t present his home is at Waterdown, South Dakota, where 'bis American wife resides, but he is so delighted with the laws of Canada, Sunday observance, general hospitali- ty of the people, etc., that he seriously thinks of making Canada his home.
