Laurier Looses His Temper.
Ottawa, March 22.—There is undis-
guised disappointment amongst his
Liberal followers in the House at the
speech of Sir Wilfr-id Laurier in reply
to Sir Charles Tapper. It WAS admit-
tedly a great fall, and a humiliating
spectacle to see he Premier of Canada
lose his temper and his judginent in
attacking a man much his senior in a
most bitterly personal way, too.
It was the Premier's place to have
replied to the Conservative leader in a
cool, logical way. Sjr Wilfrid's depar-
ture from the course he should have
followed is pointed to as a very strong
proof of the party's weakness. Phough
the Premier spoke for an hour and a
half, thesinuosities, repetitions ideal
verbiage of his speech eliminated, there
remains little that could be reduced to
direct statement, tangible enough to
he reported so as to convey ideas, and
this has made it difficult for even re -
lea Lees of Liberal organs. What he
slid say, however, afforded just the
opportunity Mr. Foster was looking
for to call the Liberal leader and his
policy sharply to account.
Conservatives in Caucus.
Ottawa, March 23. --There was a can=
cos of the Couservai ive members and
Senators this morning. which was pre-
sided over by Mr, F. D. Monk, M. P.,
for Jacques Cartier, and at which every,
Cnnsergative representative in town
was present. Addresses were delivered
by Sir Charles Tupper; Hon. 0. E. Fos-
ter, Hon. John Haggart, Hon. Clarke
Wallace, Sir Whiten Tupper, Senator
McDonald, B. C., and Messrs. Bennett,
Bergeron, Borden, Casgrain, Clarke,
Corby, Macdonald, P. E. I., Osier. Pow-
- ell;.Prior, Quinn, and Dr. Sproule, all
of whom spoke in the most encnurag-
ing manner of the prospects .of the par-
ty, and the growing feeling of dissatis-
faction with the present Government.
which is observable in every part of
the Dominion. So marked is this.feel-
ing that many of the speakers express-
ed the opinion that' if a general election
was held to -morrow• the Conservative
wers-iaai'ty would he triumphantly returned
to power. The meeting was most her-
inonlous and jubilant throughout, and
as one of those who ass present re-
marked, -"It was more like an old time
' caucus than any meeting we have had
for years."
Messrs. Harker and Dalby, the party
organizers iu Ontario and Quebec., were
also present, ,and reported that most
tifying success had attended their
efforts so far, and that they were meet-
ing with enconraageutent and assietance
on every hand.

The Martyrdom of An Empress.
The author of this biography now run-
ning in Harper's magazine was a lady of
the Austrian Court and the intimate
friend and confidante of the murdered
Empresa during her entire .life. She
was one,of„the few .to whom .Elizabeth
freely opened her heart) and her bpok
is at the sante 011ie R defence and an ap-
'preCiation of her life and character,
,The Empress is said to have been un -
'happy
-'happy and morose from domestio.t b••
les, and from the constant and unfavor-
able criticism of her actions in public.
Because of certain actions in public the
report that she was mentally unbalanced
was widely circulated. The euthor ens-
phatically refutes this, andthroughout
pictures the Empress as. a woman ,who
has been entirely misjudged. Her
character is painted as one of •, the most
attractive and beautiful in modern Eur'
opean history, one that was too fine and
pure to seem rational to the corrupt
men and women of the Austrian Court.
The book gives a pomprehensive idea of
the social sale of the Court, of the per>
sonality and domestic life of Franz•Jos-
eph and his -relations to Elizabeth. air
full account is given .of the suicide of
the Crown -Prince Rudolph at Mayerlitig
of the -pauses which led up to it, and of
its effect on the Empress.

O ! Why didn't thou come
To 'Dur Lady of the Snows t"
Why dlds' t thou not star
With "Our Lady of the Rose. t"
America's prayers
Were nototrer'd God in rain,
l,'or the Easter sun
1Vi11 illuule thy face again..
Thy sweet Josephine,
The child of thy poet's heart,
Has gone whore envy
Can neer throw its poison'd dart.
Thy lov'd'Josephine
Has gone to Beavon, so fair,
Chaplets to offer
Of pray'rs for thee, ever there.
U. weep not for her.
She has only gone before ;
Gird on thine armour.
Earth has fame for then in store ;
Fame that will neer die.
So live to praise the ris'n Lord
And swell the chorus
That will soon rise Heavenward.
America's pray'rs
Are not for thee more sincere'
Than this pavan from
"Our Lady of the Snows," so dear.
