The exact time was 2] days, and the delay was caused by the vote for their salaries—$2,500, not $10,500—being exhausted, and the reason the $2,500 was exhausted so early in the financial year was because some $1,500 of it had been used in paying arrears of last year. This is all there was about it—a very small affair, indeed, but quite big enough to furnish a text for misrepresent- ing the Government.

The latest is that Sir Jamee Grant is the Conservative choice for the vacancy in the representation of Ottawa, caused by the appointment of Mr. Mackintosh to the governorship of the Northwest. Sir James Grant is one of Ottawa’s leading physi- cians, is turned of 60 years of age, and received his knighthood for hia services to the Princess Louise, during a serious ilInese while the Marquis of Lorne was Governor-General. Sir James is an old parliamentarian, having represented the aljoining eounty of Russel] some years ago He is a leading spirit in St Andrew’s Presbyterian church, is very popular with the Roman Catholics, having an honoray degree from the University of Ottawa, and is an effective speaker. ‘He is a brother of the wife of Mr. Lawrence Vankonghnet, recently retired from the ottice of Deputy Superintendent-General of Indian affairs, and the cruel treatment meted ont to that gentleman, whom the Opposition press have been enrolling asa martyr, does not seem to have weakened Sir James’ loyalty to his party. Neither, strange t j observe that Mr Hugh John Macdonald ascribed it ae the “last straw” in the burden which drove him from public life, as the same press lately ceclared. Mr. Macdonald is married to Mr. Vankonghnet’s niece. (His first wife was a Catholic lady,a Miss Murray, of Toronto, and their dangnter is being educated in the same faith, in the Sacred Heart convent in Montreal.) Really the Opposition press behave very absurdly at times. They would have ua believe that Conservative public men are s0 many children, and unless each man can have his own way, he cries “I wont play,” and the game is broken up. Fancy Sir John Macdonald’s son resigning his seat in a huff because his wife’s uncle was superannuated on a comfortable $2,000 a year. The Op position press pay a sorry compliment to | the intelligence of their readers, when thev expect them to believe such drivel.

Yesterday (Sunday) week, being the anniversary of Gunpowder plot, was cele- brated by a church service and a sermon by the Rev. Mr. Clendinnen, a Methodist minister, which was a highly temperate and charitable discourse, The preacher denounced the persecution of Catholics, and exhorted to the exercise of British liberty, and of fraternal benevolence. “There is no religion,” said he, in hating Popery, still less in hating the Pope or | his people; indeed that is the opposite of religion, and a denial of the first principles of Protestantism.” Last year, a Rev. Dr. | Campbell preached, and pretended to quote from the writings of Cardinal Manning, making that distinguished Englishman say: “I acknowledge no civil power I acknowledge no temporal prince. I claim to be the chief ruler and dictator to the consciences of men, of the prince who sits upon the throne, the peasant who tills the soil, of the privacy

of the domestic household, and the mem- | ber of parliament who Jegislates.” Next

day Father Whelan challenged the accur- acy of the quotation, and called on Dr. | Campbell to supply references so that it might be verified. But Dr. Campbell made noreply. The Catholic Truth Society demanded proofs without effect. Private individuals belaboured the worthy docto through the press, 80 that he was con pelled at last to publish a letter ‘stating that he intended shortly to lecture on Cardinal Manning, and would then dca! further with the reference he made to him. Meanwhile, he had neither the time | nor the desire to enter into 4 ne wspaper controversy. The promised lecture was | not delivered till some four months after- ward, when he declared twat he had never ascribed to the Cardinal the lauguage quoted, and that he had been misreported by ths press. Then the newspapers jumped on him, notably the Journal, the organ of the Equal rights party, which told him he bad used the language com- plained of, and it was no use for him to try and wriggle out of it. The doctor has been quiet ever since.

In striking contrast with Dr. Campbell’s remarks were the utterances of the Rev Thomas Manning. a Methodist minister of Toronto, in s sermon preached at the commemoration of the gunpowder plot on Sunday week. Mr. Manning said there were some things in the Church of Rome which were very excellent indeed; there were some things in her faith to be greatly admired; «and there was in her position a certain amount of truth which served a very good purpose, and which, he be- lieved, was intended, in the order of Divine Providence, to be @ wonderful power among the nations in the days that were to come.

Birchall, and travelled up to Woodstock gaol to console him. And how do you think he administered consolation?

I observe that some of the papers are slobbering ever Sir John Abbott’s will, and the advice he left his family. It seems to me his tamily got all he had to leave— meney, advice al everything else. I do not remember seeing any bequest te a church, or a charity, or to anybody outside of his family. His advice to his children was excellent, but the example he set as a will-maker, to other men of wealth and position in the Dominion, was not s Sir John Abbott was a very different man from Sir John Macdonald The lattercould not help mak- ing friends: everyone was drawn to him. Bat it was hard for a new man to step into Sir John Macdonald’s shoes. Sir Jobn Abbott was all business: he wae cold and stern, but just; he had no jokes; he was not open-banded like the other Sir John. The cabmen got their bare fare, never a cent more, no matter how long they had to wait on him, till, at last, no cabman would answer his summons. I do not wish to be his detractor, for that I could not be. I knew very little about him, and never exchanged a word with him. But great men’s eccentricities are interesting, and I merely note one of bis.

Francis Parkman, the great historian of French Canada, is dead, * How many of Tue Examiner’s readers ever saw Francis Parkman? How many know that he visited Charlottetown ? It was at Government House that I saw him in 1873, the day of the reception held by Lord and Lady Dufferin. A lot of ua had left our hats, ete., in the private secretary’s office, and had come out into the big hail, where we were waiting and chatting. In an angle of the hall, Jeaning - aguinst a table, was a modest looking, smooth- shaven stranger, whom none of us knew, and who seemed to know nobody. Naturally, we enquired “who is that?” I think it was Mr. Haviland (the present Mayor) who told us it was Francis Park- man. The list, published next day, of those who had the honor of being pre- sented to their Excellencies, contained the name of “Mr. Fraucis Parkman.” I am not aware that any attention was shewn the distinguished gentleman in Charlotte- town. I fancy he made it impossible to do so, for he slipped in and slipped out very quietly, and 1 am not aware how Mr. Haviland came to know him.

lam sick of the “ WHis case.” They are handing around a subscription list here to assist him in paying the costs of his suit. It has been open over a week, and up to Satnrday night they had su- ceeded in obtaining thirty-three names and the promise of $65, of which $35 were subscribed by seven persons. That will go a short way towards liquidating the bill of $9,000. The Journal, which ha- Conservative leanings but is outspoken in sympathy with Ellis, subscribes $5, and enquires what is the matter with Liberal pockets that the funds come in so slowly. But they should ‘have started this list before they collected the $1300 for the gold watches for the lacrosse team Sixty-five dollars! Why, that is no more than the cost of half adozen boquets for Luckey.

St. Andrew’s Day is to be celebrated this year by the Scotchmen of the Capital in much the usual manner. It has been their custom to assemble at one of the Presbyterian churches, where a sermon wae preached by their chaplain, a Presby- terian minister. But last spring their chaplain, Rev. Mr. Farr.es, left Ottawa, and they elected as his suecesoor a Catho- lie priest, the Rev. Dr. Aineas Macdonnell Dawson, now in his 84th year. This was not only a high compliment to the vener- able gentleman who had long labored among the pioneers of Ottawa, but is a proof of the liberality and good feeling of the members of the St. Andrew’s So- ciety, nearly all of whom are Protestants. This year the service is to be held in a yablic hall, en Sunday, 26th inst., when Fathor Dawsen will deliver a sermon. Notwithstanding his great age, Father Dawson is very active,and is “on the go” from morning till night. Of course he is not in charge of a church, but he cele- brates Mass every Sunday in one of the convents. He has published .a number of works, the principal one which. recurs to me being the “History of the Catholics of Scotland.” He still contributes to the magazines and newspapers, and is a great favourite with all classes and creeds.

On Ist November, Sir John Thompson unveiled a statue of Sir John Macdonald, in the city of Hamilton. A number of models of a statue which the Government propose to erect in Ottawa, are now under construction, and there can be no doubt that the selection will be one which will be worthy of the Great Chief and credit- able to the capital of Canada. No monu- ment exists to the memory of D’Arcy McGee, the man whose devotion to Can- ada and to his native land cost him his life. A memorial tablet was at one time atlixed to the house in front of which he was assassinated, but the building was burned down and the tablet was not re newed. It was proposed last year, when laying a new pavement, to insert, a mem- orial plate, but this was not carried out I have heard it said that McGee’s friends fear that if a statue were erected, it would be destroyed, and it is strongly sus- pected that the fire, which consumed the house to which.the memorial plate was affixed, was the work of an_ incendiary. Even after twenty-five years have passed, the spirit of Fenianism, which tracked him to his death, has not wholly died out.

Saturday’s Free Press says : “Presby-

i

terianism will become quite fashionable now that the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen have shown their adherence to the Kirk. Their Excellencies went in state last Sun- day to St. Andrew’s. A most gorgeous turnout it was. A emart carriage, fine horses, and, besides the usual liveried ser- vants, a postilion—a novelty for Ottawa.” I imagine some of the good old-fashioned Presbyterians would be shocked at Aber- deen’s equipage, as it drove through the streets on the Sabbath. Footmen in white stockings and red plush knee breeches, and “bugs” on their hats, and a postilion, too,-- a little fellow dressed in similar togs of smaller dimensions and a jockey cap, astride one of thé horses. Their Excel- encies will attend St. Andrew’s Church, which the pastoris Rev. Mr. Herridge, a son-in-law of Revs Thomas Duncan, f T nerly of Charlottetown. Mr. Herridgs.is he best preacher in Ottawa, but I fear he will not agree in politics Andrew’s is nearly two miles from dean Hall, and so their Excellencies ave to drive; but in etormty weather they wy attend tae Now Edinbargh Presbyter- aan Chareh, which isoulv a stone’s throw (om their residence. I suppose it will be fashionable to be Scotch also, and instead } if “Aw, chappie” and “Old boy,” we shall | hear ‘Eh, mon” and “dinna ken” from | the dudes. What a chapter I could give vou on Ottawa dudes and dudesses — they give me a pain.

I noticed in a recent Examiner a sketch of the Hon. Patrick McGuire, of Boston Our old friendj ex-sheriff Donald Melsaac who resides here, gave me some further particulars about Mr.) MeGuire the other evening. Mra. MeGuye, whose maiden name was Mary ».T§@jnor, emigrated a widow, from Ireland, wath this only child | of 7or 8 years old. In January, 1847, Mrs. McGinire engaged as housekeeper with Mr, McIsa&e, who kept house for himself and his «clerks «aver his atore, next below Stamper’s corner, where Prowse Bros. now keep. She remained with him several years, and her son, Patrick, who was bound an appren- tice to the late J.D. Hazard, was in the habit of spending the evenings with his mother. She afterwards lived as hou-e- keeper with the late Hon. Edward Hay- thorne, and his brother, the Jute senator. She was a relative of the late Michael Trainor, of Pownal street, on whose re- | commendation Mr, McFsaac engaged her. | She was a woman of the highest respect- ability and integrity of character, and liv- | ed to see her son occupying an honorable | position in Boston, where Mr. McIsaac subsequently visited them and met with a hearty reception.

Ex-Chief Justice Taschereau of Quebec, a brother of the Cardinal, died last week. He wasthe grandfather of Mrs. Joseph Pope of Ottawa, and Mr, Pope left on Saturday to attend the funeral, which takes } place to-day. |

Dr. Pierre Chapleau, the eldest brother | of Lieut. Governor Chapleau of Quebec. died here last week of dropsy, after severa) months severe illness, aged 58 years. The Dr. was one of my earliest friends in Otta- wa. He wasa gentle, kind, unassuming man, whose health had been broken down in service during the American Civil War. He was unmarried. The Chapleaus are all genial men, nothing priggish or stand- oftish aboutthem. They are not blue-blood- ed like the Taschereaus; their father was a mechanic, and held the position of trade instructor in one of the penitentiaries.

There is great excitement in Socic circles to-day over the refusal of the Gover- nor General to extend his patronage to tha’ production of “La Mascotte” under the auspices of the Ladies Guild of Grace church. Now Grace church is of the An- glican persuasion, and its congregation, though small, is remarkably select, being drawn from the “ first families ”, and com- prising three cabinet ministers and their wives, His excellency assigns no reason for the refasai of his patronage, but it is generally understood that it is on account of the morality of the play being open to criticism. Some of the “ first families ” are very indignant to-’ay, the more so as the Governor General 13 patronizing the * Bells of Corneville” in aid of twe Roman Catholic charities, a concert for a Catho- lie church, and a dance fur the * Old Men’s Home.” The Grace church ladies say they went carefully through the opera, and eliminated all the shady passages. It is understood that recently, when the Cricket club requested His Lordship’s patronage to their presentation of some theatricals, he asked to be furnished with a copy of the plays before giving his answer.
