Tug storm of last evenieg did not prevent a

large audience from assembling in St. Patriek’s Hall to hear the Rev. Dr. McDonald lecture on Cardinal Pole: The audience, of itself, considering the very stormy weather, was positive preof ofthe Kev. Dr. McDonald's ability. and popularity. The lecture was de- livered extempore and ni the Dr.’s usual pleas- ing style. He was, to use a common phrase, fully ‘‘at home” on hissubject. The audience were highly pleased, and frequently applauded, At the close of the lecture, complimentary re- marks were made by Robert Shaw, Esq., Judge Reddin, and Hon. W. W. Sullivan. A unanimous vote of thanks was, on motion of the two last-named gentlemen, given the tev. lecturer, Which was very suitably and feclingly acknowledged. We understand it is the intention of the St. Patrick’s T. A. & B. Seciety te have further lectures during the winter; and, if the epening ene of last night is taken as an indication, they will be well worth attending.

Acctpnt To A Rarttway EMpLoye AT Truro. —A railway empleye named Robert Williams got badly injured in the station yard on Wednesday night while coupling cars. He had accomplished his task and while coming out from between the cars was caught betweon the stanchions by his back and breast, sustaining painful injuries which however,we are glad to learn; are not likely to prove fatal. Accidents of this kind, fortunately, have been exceeding rare in the Truro station yard.—(uardian.

THE Toronto Mail is authority for the statement that Miss Howard, a Canadian girl from the neighborhood of Kingsten, has attained brilliant success as a physician in China. She received her professional education at Ann Arbor, Michigan, as at that time the Royal College at Kingston, since opened to ladies, did not admit female students. She was poor and was obliged to deny herself many comforts in order to pursue her studies. She is now a popular physician in Tientsin, and at last accounts had been sent to Pekin in a royal barge, loaded with presents, because of her suc-

Dear Sir,—Looking over your paper a few days ago, I noticed that Mr. Jehn Beer would, at next Council meeting, move that every herse, sleigh and wagon should be tax- ed. Now, isitmght that we poor truckmen should have to pay to truck; then to be tax- ed for » horse which only is able to do enongh work to keep us both from starving. This zame John Beer will perhaps be very sorry to have to pay double price for his trucking, &c., if he is the means of us being taxed for horses. It is as much as we are able to live, let-alone having to be taxed for our only source of live- lihood, I remain, yours truly, J.

The Latest Masonic Emblem Story.

The latest development of the Egyptian Masonic Emblem story, is the following dispatch to the New York papers, from Alexandria, under date of the 26th ult. :—

‘‘ Dr. Fanton, a highly instructed Mason, has finished a careful examination of the foandations of the obelisk, and confirms Lieutenant-Commander Gorringe’s discoy- ery of the Masonic emblems, which estab- lish the relatiens of many ancient Egyptian monuments. Dr. Fanton declares that the Hiram version of Masonry which ériginat- ed with the construction of Selomon’s

femple is disproved by ithe revela- tions of the foundations of the obe- lisk. The Masonic. emblem cf Life

and the Sun, beyond doubt, is identical with the monument of the Egyptian god Osiris. This proves that Masonry ori- ginated with the construction of the pyra- mids or at least with a far remoter period than the construction of the foundation of the obelisk. The number of blocks com- prising the foumdation, as well as their position and arrangement, indicate that the ancients were familiar with the higher de- greeseof -Masonry, at least as high as the eightdenth degree. Many peculiar em- blema not understoed by Lieutenant Com- mander Gorringe were fully explained by Doctor Fanton froni a Masonic point of view. This diseovery furnishes a clue to other important disceveries not only under the fallen obelisks but also in other parts of Egypt, rendering probable a solution of the mystery of the construction of the,Py- ramids. Ameng the discoveries was found a perfect cube and also emblems of all Ma- sonic foundations. daeutenant-Commander Gorringe, who is a member’ of the Masenic fraternity, entirely appreves Dr. Fantcn’s explanation, and gives ‘this despatch his entire approbation. ~~ ek a -

The Printing Contract.

Some of the Grit journals have been try- ing to make the country believe that the contracts for the Parliamentary printing, over which Mr. Boyle and the Globe Thad the recent dispute, were ‘the work. of the Government. This is cery-far from being the case. The St. John Sun gives the fol- lowing correct version of the matter :—

‘*The contract was a Parliamentary con- tract, under the supervision of a joint com- mittee of both houses, selected from both sides of pelitics, the chairman of the joint committee being that ‘‘grand old Reformer” Senator Simpson, the bosom friend of the still more illustrious Reformer Senator George Brown. The Mr. Boyle, who was accused by the Toronto Globe of selling his tender to McLean, Roger & Co., the Par- liamentary printers (who, by the way, are Reformers), was the Mr. Boyle whe worked tooth and nail, for the Reformers in the Ontario Local elections. The Govern- ment had nothing to do with inviting ten- ders; nothing to do with awarding the contract ; nething to do with the affair in any shapeor form. The matter was entirely in the hands of the Parliamentary Com- mittee, Senator Simpson being the head of that Committee. It may be that the Com- mittee may have to revise its mode of letting this contract, but we do not see how we are going to prevent one tenderer from selling out to another. The Committee exacted a considerable deposit from each tenderer, and this, if we mistake not, was Mr. Mac- kenzie’s method ef protecting the public in- terests. It failed under Mr Mackenzie’s administration of the Public Werks, which was characterized by jobs of every imagin- able description, from the purchase of the ‘‘Neebing Hotel” shanty, to gigantic opera- tions in steel rails. In fact the deposit system merely enabled large operators the better to monopolize the buying out busi- ness, so that where the country was former- ly salted to the extent of hundreds of dol- lars, it came to be plundered by tens of thousands. Most of Mr. McKenzie’s ‘‘reforms”’ were of that character.
