Tho Hilyard-Harmburger Case.

A writ of at‘achment has been issued against L. tlarmburger & Co., importers of fancy and tobacconist goods, by E. FE. Hilyard, of st. Johan, N. B., for some $4,000 odd. ‘The 13 contested by Mr. Harmburger, who disputes the claim, and says he has a contra claim. Tha trouble arises out of the purchase an@ sale of a large quantity of cigars in which Mr. Hillyard claims Harmburger was interested with him on joint account, while the latter says he was working on a commission only. The transac- tiou resulted ia a loss, and now Mr. Hillyard is endeavoring to collect what he considers Harmburger’s proportion of this loss. It will be remembered he had Mr. Harmburger arrest- el on acapiasin this same matter about a week ago, and it was understood subsequently that it would be submitted to arbitration ; therefore the above action is surprising to most people and has taken Mr. Harmburger alto- gether unawares. Mr. Harmbnrger claims he is perfectly able to meet all just demands, but this claim he does not regonize as just or due in any way.

A late telegram says that Mr. Harmbur- ger has instituted proceedinga against Mr. Hillyard for perjury. ib Aili wis tin

A Millionaire Priest. By the provisions of the will of his mother filed on Wednesday, Father Denny, the Pre- fect of the Roman Catholic Charch of St. Ig- natius, attached to the Loyola College of the Society of Jesuits in this city, becomes a imil- lionaire. Mrs. Elizabeth F. Denny, his moth- er, was one of the oldest and wealthiest resi- dents of Pittsburgh, Pa. Her estate was chiefly property located in Pittsburgh and other parts of Pennsylvania and in the States of New York and Illinois and the District of Columbia, which was purchased by her father many years ago, and multiplied in value during half a century since. The property was valued before the panic at $10,000,000, but its present market value would not be over $6,000,000. Mrs. Denny, who had been sick for some time, grew worse about a week ago, and Father Den- uy, her son, was summoned to her bedside. she died peacefully a few days ago, surround- ed by a large circle of relatives and friends. By her will the property is left entirely to her children. No charitable bequests were made; but during her lifetime Mrs. Denny gave at least $1,000,000 to different charitable institu- tions. The heirs named in the will are Rev. Harmer Denny, S. J., of Baltimore; Mrs. J. Walton Spring, Mrs. Wim. C. Denny, Miss Matilda Denny, Mrs. James O. H. Denny, and Mrs. Hon. Robert McKnight, of Pittsburgh; Mrs. Wm. M. Paxton, of New York; and Mrs, Captain Brereton, of Younkers, N. Y.

Father Denny gets a large shere of the prop- erty, somewhat to his surprise, since his moth- er could not become reconciled to his attach- ment to the Catholic Church, but more es- pecially to his acceptance of the vows of the Society of Jesus.

The Dardanelles.

This strait, anciently known as the Hel- lespont, has taken its present name from the four forts built at 1ts entrance in the seventeenth century-—-two by Mahomet IL. and two by Mahomet JV. These were con- structed to prevent the approach of war ships to Constantinople. Put in good con- dition and armed with the artillery of these days, they would trouble the passage of any ileet, though they have been repeatedly passed, and might therefore make thé pre- tence of the Porte to close the strait rather more than a diplomatic curiosity. This pretence has been formally recognized by treaties in 1808, in 1841, in 1856, and in 1871. In 1871 the Conference of London, called in consequence of Russia’s repudia- tion, in 1870, of certain clauses of the Treaty of Paris, decreed the continuation of this restriction as declared in the Treaty of Paris, but conceded the Sultan’s author- ity to permit the passage of the ships of friendly Powers im time of peace. This concession of the Sultan’s ‘‘authority” in his own dominions indicates that the clos- ure of the Dardanelles had in course of time become of greater interest to another Pow- er taan to 'turkey, and it was the consent of ,that Power—-England—that was thus given to the Padishah. In the circular of 1868, in regard to the passage of the Wa- bash, the Sultan claimed to exercise this restriction as a territorial right. It was in that sense that the Treaty of Paris affirmed the right, as an ancient one; but that treaty even deprived the Sultan of the right of consent in regard to it. There are, therefore, some rational and legal entangle- ments that are rather queer. The Darda- nelies are within the Sultan’s territory ; but they are closed, not by his will, but by the will of a remote naval Power, and yet that Power does not exercise authority there as it might by mere force on the high seas, but constitutes the sovereign Sultan the executive of its will; and though it is not ready to fight for the maintenance of this right it calls out on Europe to maintain it and not to let victorious Russia encroach therein, because this would be a violation of the privileges of that poor old Sultan.— N. Y. Herald.

An orator from Wales. who had the misfor- tune to lose one of his limbs, happened to come into a verbal encounter with a son of Erin. The witty Welshman, who imagined he was pretty successful in bantering the Irish- man, was interrogated thus by the latter: ‘*‘How did you come to lose your leg?’ ‘‘Well,”

replied the other, ‘‘on examining my pedigree,

| and looking up my descent, | found there was ‘some Irish blood in me, and becoming con-

vinced it was all settled in that leit Jeg, I had to cut it off at once.” ‘‘Be the powers,” said

The Eixcessive Use of Tobacco—Its Sad Effects.

;

| Lately we drew attention to the prevalent jand injurious habit among the working | youth of our community, gf chewing tobac- eo, and gave the result f an enquiry of ® Medical Committee, appointed in deference to the express wishes of the French Gevern- inent to inquire into the effects of tobacco upon the human system. The New York correspondent of the Buffalo Commercial Ad- vertiser, writing on the subject, says :—

A case of my own intimate acquaintance has this very week appalled a large circle of friends in this city. The victim was exactly of my own years, and a companion of early boyhood. For thirty years, at least, he has been a daily smoker of the choicest cigars, but in all other habits temperate and regular, and of excellent constitution——one who of all men would have laughed at the suggestion that tobacco was killing him. A week ago he was stricken with progressive paralysis characteristic of nicotine, and he died. His death was one most pitiful. First, sight was lost, then speech, then motion of the neck, then motion of the arms, and so on throughout the bedy, and he lay for a whole night unable to move or make ~@ sign, save @ pitiful, tongueless, inarticulate sound, which sometimes rose to almost a frantic effort, all in vain to make known what he wished to say to his family or friends—for his consciousness and menial faculties were left unimpaired till within two hours of the last, to aggravate to the utmost the horror of his situation—a living soul in a dead body. The sense of hearing was left unimpaired, so that he was conscious of all around him, while incapable of communication with them as if dead, save by a slight assent or dissent to a question. The doctors were fully agreed that tobacce was the sole cause of the stroke.

‘ Brtry’s Bany.”—The Drayton ‘‘New Era” has the following Story: ‘* On the evening of Sunday, Jan. 20th, whilst the churches in Palmerston were filled with worshippers, a gentle knock. was heard at the door of the house on the south-west corner of James and Victoria streets, and before the owner of the house—who is an old man, and consequently not so active as he was fifty years ago—could get to the door, it was quickly opened, and a woman entered the room, bearing a basket, which she deposited on the floor, saying at the same time, ‘‘ There’s Billy’s baby, safe and sound,” andthen left the house and the baby. When the old gentleman recov- ered from his astonishment at finding an infant only a few hours old thus thrust upon him, he sent for the town

constable and requested that ofticial to take charge of the ~ little stran- ger. Having no desire to add to his

family expenses in that way, the constable betook himself to the Mayor for advice, but when his Worship learnt where the child was left he wisely declined to advise in the pyatter, as he related to the gentleman on whose care the child had been se uncere- moniously thrust. The constable then sought the mother of the child, a pretty young woman residing on East York street, but he failed to persuade her friends to have the infant back again. Since that time, however, negotiations have been carried to a result satisfactory to ali the parties con- cerned.

Dr. Strousberg, the railway contractor, whose tremendous collapse astonished all Europe jately, has another surprise for the public. He proposes tofmake Berlin a sea- port, by the building of two deep sea canals, one connecting with the mouth of the Elbe, and the other with the mouth of the Oder. Eight millions sterling is the estimated cost, and profits enough to pay ten per cent. on this are promised. If the plan could be realized, Berlin would be raised, so says the Prussian correspondent of the London ‘‘Times,” to the position of a dominant commercial, manufac- turing, and military centre on the continent, Whether Bismarcks lends his countenance or refuses it to the enterprise, the indications that some important movement towards making Germany a great maritime power is in contem- plation, are many and significant. It may be by building certain ship canals, or it may be by the seizure of Holland; but in some way or other the attempt will be made.

tecent statistics, says the Sunifary Record, shows that the rate of mortality among grocers is a8 76 to 100 amon the general population at equal ages, while the death rate among drapers iaas 105 to 100 by the same standard. On analyzing the cause of this difference between the drapers and the grocers, it was found that it lies in the mode of living. The disease which destroys the draper is pulmonary con sumplion, The explanation is simple, The grocer lives ina shop, the door of which is open the whole day, and he is very active him- self in business: the draper, on the other hand, lives in a close place with the door of his shop closed, and in a dusty, close atmosphere. No one whose pleasure or business calls on him to enter the majorty of our large drapery em- periums in London but will feel in a position to testify to the truth of his description. The heat and closeness which are their usual char- acteristic sufficiently aggounts for the general pallor and unhealthy appearance of the male and female attendants in them.

Mr. Moody, the revivalist, said at Hart- ford, last Wednesday, that it was a small affair now-a-days for one to be cast out of a church, for if the Methodists will cast out a man the Baptists will take him in, and there are plenty of otehr churches to receive him. Speaking of the difference between earthly and heavenly affairs, he said: “ If the President or Queen Victoria should die there would be a great stir in the world. But if that little boy yonder should repent there would be joy in heaven.”
