sys the St. Croix, (N. B.) Courier:
the sueculent Chicago beef, which has heeu delighting the palates of so many St. Stephenites f late, bids fair to become an important factor in the determination of
relations. One of
arguments of the Commercial is that the adoption of their pet idea would open a marke: of 60,000,000 of people to Canadian farmers. On the other hand, it is now asked, if Chicago beef can be sold in New Brunswick markets against an adverse duty of one cent a pound in competition with native beef, how could native beef be at all profitably raised if the duty were removed ! And how would our beef stand in the United States markets in comparison with the Chicago article? The same question may be reasonablyasked with reference to all Canadian farm products. No satisfactory answer has yet been vouch- safed by the Commercial Unionists.

Manager of the Grand has given orders that no freight
trains belonging to his line must hereafter procecd on their journey on Sunday, and he has promised urtail the traffic as much as possible, so far as passengers are concerned ihe Canadian Pacific Railway has not d el to take off the Sunday train which runs between Quebec and Mon- treal, but if t ea becomes general, we may exp that train discontinned. Beginu t yesterday, there will be ali ap- preciahb ; ned ent of Sunday traffic on the Van bilt roads eas of Chicago. A reduction soe to 59 per cent. in the number of men empleyed on Sunday work will be sce :commencement. Event- ually, it is nlikely that the whole
Sunday business will be stopped, for Mr. Vanderbilt is pers nally opposed to its con- tmuance, and his right hand man,Chauncey M. D pew, agre him. Of course, perishable goods and live stock, will continue to be moved on Sundays for some time to come. No trains leave for any place, on the Intercolonial on Sunday.

Mr. Atkinson, of Boston, goes to the root of the matter of the Irish difficulty in the following pa: wraph clipped from an article written by him for the Westminster Review
** Is Ir and capable of supporting its peo-
le in comfort and wetfare if this plan could be accomplished’? ls it not true that under the wretched system of absentee-landlcrdism and rack rented tenant-farming the land of Ireland yet prod an enormous excess of food which is exported and consumed in Eng. land? Has the limit of possible production either in quantity in diversity ever been approached in [reland? Is there any reason why the Irishman in Ireland should not be as euccessiul a gardener and grower of all kinds of food as he is in New England and in many other parts of the United States? If not, what is lacking? Is it not the incentive of the actu 11 Or prospective ownership of the soil which he tills? Such would seem to be

society festivals, and being considered as one of the most beautiful productions of English musical art and being moderately simple in construction, nothing more suit- ible for a new musical society to commence work upon can be imagined.
The author of the ** May Queen,” Sir Sterndale Bennett, died about fourteen years ago, and MecFarren, in his history of music, ‘The wide frecognition of Bennett's genius at home and in Germany distinguishes him; far more so does the quite individual charm of his music, and inost of all does the tender age at which he wrote his last worksand the facility with which he produced them; always the phraseology is peculiar to the author in sweetuess and elegance ; the eternal riddle of the beautiful is propounded in _ every cadence, and still deties analysis.”

They Can't Parade.
SALVATION ARMY CAN NO LONGER WALK IN QUEBEC,
rHE
In the famous test case at Quebec to de- cide the question of the legality of the Sal- vation Army’s parades in the public streets, the court of appeals, a few days ago, set aside the verdict of the jury in the court below, finding the army guilty of committing a public nuisance, and ordered a new trial. In rendering the judgment of the court, however, Chief Justice Sir A. P. Dorion said it should be well understood that the new trial was granted more from adoubt as to whether the evidence adduced before the jury legally supported the verdict rendered than from any hesitation in the minds of the bench on the question of the army’s as- sumption of the right to parade, sing and shout in thé public street. He said the court was unanimous in holding that the salvationists had no right to parade as they had been in the habit of doing, if they an- noyed or obstructed the public in the public streets. There was no law which conferred ou salvationists or any one else the privi- lee of doing so. Such practices might be tolerated, but toleration ceased when they became a nuisance, when they obstructed the public, impeded traflic, frightened horses, endangered life and prevented peo- ple from sleeping in their homes. The streets were for circulation, and any ob- struction to the latter was a nuisance. So much was this the case that in all large and well conducted cities even any one standing in the street was regarded as obstructing, and immediately told by the police to move on.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Temperance and Longevity.
Smr,—A paragraph went the rounds of the press some little time ago under the above heading, which contained certain statistics relating to the effect of alcohol upon health, alleged to have been made by Dr. Isambard Owen, of Londen, England. The good doctor's efforts have been strange- ly misunderstood by the author of the para-
gravh above referred to, who undertook to | prove that indulgence in ardent spirits so
far from shortening, increased the length
of man’s natural life. Dr. Owen’s attention
having been drawn to the unfair use made
ot his statistics, has at length written an
explanatory letter to the London press,
from which I extract the following :—
**(1) That habitual indalgence in alcoholic
liquors beyond the most moderate amounts
has a distinct tendency to shorten life, the
average shortening being roughly proportional
to the degree of indulgence,
**(2) That of men who have passed the
age of twenty-five, the strictly temperate, on
the average, live at least ten years longer
than those who become decidedly intemper-
ate.
