Irs Own Worst Enemy.—The following, from the Maple Leafs, with regard to Robert Elsmere, is authorative;—‘‘ The own worst enemy, and we pity any who are foolish enough to read it through. While the book proves the author to have read widely, it has no other merit. To the thinking mind

the book is a laughable absurdity; to the one | who does not think, it will be considered a}

very flat love-story.” > New Metnopmr Cavren.—Ata meet- ing of the Quarterly Board of the Metho- dist Brick Church, held last evening, it was decided to erect a new Methodist Church at the eastern end of the city. L. L. Beer, Esq., has generously presented a

site for that purpose. Trustees for the new church property were appointed, and, we understand, the erection of the

building will be proceeded with at once. einen

A Youne Hero.—Mattie Smith, 11 years old, of Omaha, Neb., witha number of other children, was playing on the lake in Syndicate Park, South Omaha, one day last week, When the ice broke and she fell in. The water was between eight and ten feetdeep.. Walter Briggs, aged 10, told the childeen to take each other by the hand and allew him to run to Mattie. The young hero reached her as she was sinking for the last time, and seizing her by the hand, with the assistance of the rest ot the line, pulled hi:

Sxkatine Race.—Craft, of the New York Manhattau Club, and Carroll, of the Pictou Association, were matched fora five mile skating race, for a gold medal, in the Pic- rink, last Friday evening. The ice was in good condition, and a large number of peo- ple witnessed the race. The men got off at half-past eight o’clock, the New York man leading. Carroll, who was suffering from a severe cold, followed closely till within two laps of the finish, when he pass- ed his opponent, and, after a_ brilliant spurt, won by half a lap, in 19 minutes and 56 seconds.

Or Two Eviris, &c.—When Charles Dudley Warner was the cditor of the Hartford (Conn) Press, back in the “sixties,” arousing the patriotism of the State with his vigorobs ap- peals, one of his type-setters came in from the composing room, and planting himself before the editor said: ‘‘ Well, Mr. Warner, I’ve de- cided to enlistin the army.” With mingled sensations of pride and responsibility, Mr. Warner replied encouragingiy that he was glad tosee the man felt the call of duty. **Oh, it isn’t that,” said the trathful com- positor, ‘‘ but I'd rather be shot than try to eet any more of your blanked copy.”

Sinctve Braos.—The show of singing birds in Market Hall is worth seeing. There are several different varieties of feathered songsters ~—some all the way from Russia, some obtained in the woods here, and several canaries. They have the freedom of the room, and it is pleasing to watch them as they sing aud twitter about. Ladies who would like to give their children a peep at nature and incite in them a love for natural history, could not do better than visit the show with them. Mr. McQuaid will be happy to give information concerning the birds, their ch aracteristics and habits. The admission fee is only five cents.

PARNELL ConegratcLatep.—A London des- patch says that at the banquet = by the Eighth Clab on Friday evening last in honor of Lord Spencer, Mr. Lockwood presided. Lord Roseberry, Sir William Vernon Har- court, Mr. Parnell, Mr. Morley, Sir Charles Russel, aad other prominent gentlemen were present. Parnell received an ovation. Lords Spencer and Roseberry congratulated Parnell upon the vindication of his character against attacks which, in vehemence and wickedness, suprassed any ever before made against a liv- ing man. Parnell responded, speaking for

From tas Norruwest.—Mr. E. J, Clark, tormerly of Western Ontario, but who has lived for the past twenty years in Battleford, arrived in Ottawa the other day. He says that so far they have had no winter of any severity ; there has been no auow to speak of and he siffered no cold on his trip down from Battleford, although he had to sleep out on the open prairie. The ranchers in Battleford had a round up a day before he started and the horses were found in most excellent condition. On his way from the north on the bank of the Saskatchewan, an Indian showed Mr. Clark a deposit of anthracite coal of excel-

lent quality. _-

Boevs Liver Prts.—Some time since Car- ter’s Little Liver Pill Co., of New York, dis- covered that pirates were at work with their trade mark, which is registered at Ottawa, advertised and protected in Canada at an annual outlay of $170,000. Detective Grose, of Montreal, paid a visit to Arnprior, Oat., and disvovered that J. T. Wait, chemist, and a leading church member worth $40,000, was the counterfeiter, Wait’s place was searched and counterfeit labels and everything neces- vary for the manufacture of bogus pills being found on the premises, he was arrested and committed to stand a charge of forgery, ap- plying forged trade mrrks, and having for sale gou'ls bearing forged trade marks. The accused has been liberated on bail. >

Biste Socrety.—We bespeak attention to the advertisement of the Bible Society in an- other column. This society has done good work during the past fitty years in offering facilities tc all denominations of Christians to ebtain the Scriptures at prime cost. The society does not seek the glorification of any sect. Its platform is common ground. Its aim is iaost philanthropic and Christian, and it should receive cordial support from all. Many have given of their gold handsomely, and will be glad to do so gain, but something may be done by the ver, poorest. Let all who can, turn oat to the annual meeting and aid by their countenance at least. We are informed that some of our best speakers have been engaged. The singing at the Bible meet- ing has always been excellent, and we trust it will be so this time.

NOTES.

The St. John delegation had an_ inter- view with members of the Privy Council, this afternoon. Sir John Macdonald, re- plying to the representatives, expressed the pleasure the Government had at meet- ing the deputation, and at receiving the in- formation they had given. He was glad to know that the deputation recognized the fact that there wasrivalry between St. John and Halifax, and that Halifax had certain advantages in the way of landing mails and passengers, Commercial con- siderations would, of course, largely govern the Administration in arriving at a deeision, and if the Government could ,do anything consistent with the public interest to carry out the laudable desires of the citizens of St. John, it would be done.

Twenty members of Parliainent, accom- panied the Montreal, Toronto and London publishers to the Postmaster-General _ to- day to protest against the proposed postage of acent a pound on newspapers issued leas often than once a week. They agreed that purely advertising sheets be made to pay postage, but thought it should be at- tained by other means.

Hon. Mr. Power introduced a bill in the Senate placing the rate of interest where unfixed in agreements at five per cent., in- stead of six as at present.

PARNELL COMMISSION. The Evidence Heard.

Lonpon, March 12.

The Parnell Commission resumed its sittings to-day. An accountant testified

that he had examined the books of the Hibernian Bank, but was unable to trace the persons to whom money on cheques was paid or whence the cheques came. The witness further testified that he had ex- amined the League’s books. The National League’s total receipts amounted to £100,613.

Sir Henry James, counsel for the Times, applied for an order for the examination of Parnel!’s private account with the National Bank, and Parnell gave his assent to such examination.

Coffee, a reporter from Cork, testified that he had made a statement to a police- man who promised him he should be paid beyond his greatest expectations. The witness declared his statement absolutely false. He purposely made the statement which he gave the pulicoman sensational, because he knew it would take. He re- ceived £115 from the Times.

Presiding Justice Hannen repeatedly re- buked the witness sharply for contempt and finally ordered that he be taken into cus- tody.

Commission adjourned.

Henry Campbell, M. P., private secre- tary for Farnell, has brought suit for libel against the London Times. The suit is founded partly on the opening speech by the Aitorney-General in the case of O’Donell vs. Walter and partly on a leading editorial published by the Times on July 7th last. It is the first, of a series of suitato be brought against the Times,

After His Scalp.
