Sir Moses Montefiore. 6
By the death of Sir Moses Montefiore a great man has faller. in Isarel. Many readers will remember the mention of the celebration given last Osiober in commem-
_oration of his completiag bis bundreth year.
He was born October 24th, 1784. In his boyhood he was contemporary with the rise of the great Napoleon, and all the mighty spirits of the last century’s cloring years. He was over 30 years of ege when Waterloo was fought, and when Her Majesty the Queen came to the throne in 1837, he had reached the mature age of 53. In that year he held the office of Sheriff of London, and

He was subsequently High Che Montreal ne aw ree oe | Sheriff of Kent, in which county he resid- lowing | 7 description of the ©D- | ed. About 1840 he went on a mission to David Mills ‘the East on behalf of the Jewish brethren
‘There is no let up to Mr. Mills party | hatred. It is impossible for the Premier to | do anything which Mr. Mills will admit to be right. There is but one man alive who | can act in a way to satisfy Mr. Mills’ severe judgment, and that is Mr. Mills himeelf. During the session Mr. Mulls threw all the weight of his constitutions] knowledge and his extreme verbosity to prolong the session. He kept on hair splitting and chopping | logic and refining until the patience of the House-was exhausted not once, but often. His pertinacity, his long-windedness, his perverseness, were an exaggeration even of Mr. Casey's defects, with this difference, | that while y expected anything worthy of note to issue from the latter, and | went to bed in the confidence that they | would lose nothing by their absence during | Mr. Casey’s outflow,some remained in their seats expectant of Mr. Mill's ultimately casting new light upon the subjects treated by him, but were usually sadly disap- pointed.

at Damascus, which having successfully accomplished,he was presented by the Jews
/of London with a handsome piece of plate.
He was raised to a baronetcy in 1846. He continued to interest himself in the welfare his brethren throughout tie world. In 1864 he received the thanks of
‘the Court of Common Council for his signal
services for the relief of persons oppressed for their religious convictions, and especially by a journey to Morocco to solicit the em- peror to release his Jewish and Christian
‘subjects from their religious and civil dis-
like successful visit to Rou- melia in 1867, in favor of his oppressed brethren there, increased the grateful reverence of the Jewish people fur the now venerable patriarch. Inthe same year hz founded a college at Ramsgate in memory 'of his wife, Judith, Lady Montefiore. Sir | Moses was held in profound respect for his | high character and useful services. He re- tained till his centennial year a degree of |} mental and bodily activity quite unusual to | the few who attain so great an age.

—The Secretary of the United States Treasury has issued the following circu- lar to the collectars and other officers of customs relative to the transit of mer- chandise through the Dominion Canada :— ;

authorities of the British provinces, be transported from one port in the United States, to another port therein, over the territory of such provinces, by such routes end under such rules, regulations and con- ditions as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe.
Therefore, so much of circular No. 102 of this department, dated the 2nd instant, as rescinded article 844 of the customs regulations of 1884 is revoked, and said article is hereby amended in such manner as to restrict the transportation therein referred to American vessels. Customs officers will be governed accordingly.
The salaries of officers stationed in Canada to supervise transhipmeat from vessels to
cars and vise versa, must be reimbursed to} '
the government by the transportation com- panies interested.
—The Canadian Gazette of the 16th' inst., referring to the recent advance in| Canadian Pacific shares, says :--‘‘ The | important advance in Canadian Pacific | shares has given rise to mapy enquiries, as to its cause and probable duration, an we have no hesitation in saying that the | movement is justified, and that it is much | more likely to continue than to be| followed by a redaction. The comple-| tion of the line is now only a question of | weeks. The earning power of the road | is demonstrated by the weekly traffic!
: statements, while the net result to the |
company has just been formally | placed before the shareholders — by | the annual report and balance! sheet. The company’s now proved)
position and influential fieancial connec- | tions in the principal centres of Europe | make it quite able to provide for all con-| cluding requirements. We may add| that the company’s relations with the Grand Trunk have become quite satisfac- | tory, and that as between these two |
great corporations there is now only |
ordinary busioess rivalry, and with the |
fuller knowledge of each other which | has at last been attained, it ought to be! easy to prevent any revival of the ill| |
feeling which has marred recent ex-| perience.’
Rumors have recently been put in cir-| culation in Dublin that the Duke of Con | nought has arranged to reside in Ireland! in the near future. He will, it is said, | live ia Ireland in his private capacity, | aud in no way interfere with the action | of the Earl of Carnarvon, the viceroy. )

The troops seemed to | he animated by a fierce spirit of resistance. | With afew weeks of vigorous preparation, a few convoys of military supply | from Cabul (when there is plenty of , it) it is the opinion of the competent officers ,that the place could be held for five cr six months against attack. Of food supply, &c., there is an unfailing abundance in one of the richest valleys in the world, and | there is a large population to call upon. Apart from all political considerations, it is the strength of the position and the abund- jance of supply that make the Russians so | keen to possess the place ; and, besides, it | would give them a great command of the | commerce of those regions.

Intertropical Cyclones.
As the period has nearly arrived in which | the great cyclones of the West Indies begin
of the United | their work of devastation both at sea and on
land, vessels now sailing for ports beyond
If we can judge of the force of this season’s hurricanes in the West Indies by that of the storms reported in the East Indian seas this summer, they will be violent enough.
A point of special interest for all naviga- tors now going south will be to observe and to report any revolving storm encountered east and north of Bermuda, with a view to determine, if possible, whether these gales emerge from the tropics cast of Bermuda and strike northeastwardly into the great ocean highways between Europe and America. This point has never been very clearly settled by Atlantic observations. There are reasons, however, for believing that in July and the early part of August tho cyclones occasionally felt by steamers running between Europe and America are not depressions originating in the United States, but storms that have had their birth in the Antilles, and thence moved northeastwardly on the inner side of the Gulf Stream. It would be a valuable con- tribution to the summer navigation of the North Atlantic if this point could be posi-
| tively determined by barometric records of
any revolving gale observed in the ocean east or north-east of the Bermudas.— New York Herald.

British Trade with Canada.
The Imperial Board of Trade has just issued its regular monthly return, showing the imports to and the exports from the United Kingdom. The exhibit treating of the trade to and from Canada will be found interesting and instructive to our com- mercial readers. A tabular statemént is furnished which shows, at a glance, the condition and character of the business, The figures for the month are rather favq- able and show a healthy state of affairs, the volume of trade being satisfactory, in a measure. On the export side there is an increase to notice of £15,889, or 3.9 per cent., in the total value for the month, Not so good a showing, how- ever, appears when the trade for the alf year is considered. In that res- pect there is a falling off of £110,947, equal to 4.3 per cent, compared with the total exported for the same periods of last year. The figuges respecting the imports for the month show a less satisfactory result, so far #8 we are concerned, the decrease being £36,585, equal to 48 per cept, while for the six months there is a contraction of £172,994, or 16 per cent.

The Truth About the Soudan.
Not unlike the disclosures of a correspon- dent on the Congo are those of a correspor - dent who has returned from Suakin, He says :—‘' On the surface of the habitable globe so awful a residence for Europeans does not exist, and nothing but the direst necessity can justify our government in keep ng our European troops there for an hour jonger. The heat is simply indescri- bable, and this time last year in the Reyal Engineer Mess (a well-constructed wooden building, well ventilated), the thermome- ter rose to 125 degrees Fahrenheit, and in tents to 134 degrees, and this with an atmosphere laden with moisture. The flies are a terrible plague, rendering life miserable as long as there is daylight, to be succeeded after dark by sanotlies and mosquitoes. There is no water to be ob- tained except that condensed by the ships in the harbor, so that the supply is neces- sarily both unpleasant and scanty. Vege- tables are not to be had except now and then a few tomatoes and melons. The whole place is saturate] with typhoid fever poison, as the records of the sickness of the army will prove when the reports are published in the blue books, probably two years hence, when all interest in the matter will have subsided.
“It is a matter of notoriety that the press censorship prevented the truth being known regarding the great sickness that existed in Sir Gerald Graham’s force before it left, and this point can be proved by the evidence of several war correspondents, whose telegrams were refused or altered. A few facta willshow what the health of Europeans \has been since our occupation. The Royal Marines occupied the place from the date of the departure of Sir Gerald Graham’s force in 1884 till its return in 1885; and during that pericod—some nine months—it took 1,400 men to keep up a
strength of 500 effectives. The strength of Sir Gerald "Graham's force this year was about eight thvousand’ men, (Europeans) and out of this number
quite 1,100 were invalided in six weeks, and the death rate before the troops left had risen to 25 a week, chiefly from typhoid fever. It was an understood thing that the returns for the mariners for last hot season never really showed the sickness, as the steamer left every Thursday, taking invalids to Suez, and the returns not being made up till Friday, the sick rate of course was diminished by the number of men who left the previous day, Out of five surgeons of the medical staff left behind with the unfortunate troops destined to garrison the place, two are already dead and a third has been invalided home.” asthenia as all. si
Shot in the Abiomen.
HOW DR. HAMILTON SAVED THE LIFE OFA DESPERATELY WOUNDED MAN,
Wasurineton, July 26.—Dr. John B Hamilton, Supervising-Surgeon General of the Marine Hospital Service and one of the visiting surgeons at the Providence Hos- pital, performed successfully, a few days ago, an operation which is said to have been only twice before performed in the history of surgery. The patient was a young man who was recently shot in the abdomen at the Tremont House.
The operation consisted in opening the cavity of the stomach and bowels and sew ing up eleven perforations in the small
large intestine leading from the stomach. A large artery which had been cut and caused a hemorrhage would have ended the young man’s life in an hour ortwo. This was also closed up, and the patient is now convalescent. — — ~— be —- -—- The End of a Family. SAD INCIDENT ON ONE OF THE PANAMA CANAL DREDGES.
A sad affair occurred on board the American Dredge company’s dredge Ferdi- nand de Lesseps,now lying in Fox river, Pa. P. F. Hayes, the captain of the dredge, was called to stop a disturbance on the main deck, and his wife, fearing trouble to her husband, followed him with their child, eighteen months old, in her arms. By the time Mr. and Mrs. Hayes reached the deck shots from several revolvers were flying around. Mrs. Hayes ran to to the forward part of the dredge, and in endeavoring to gain cover fell with the child into the bucket well. Efforts to rescue them were unavailing, and their bodies were not re- covered till next day. The father, upon seeing the child by its mother’s side in the coffin, was entirely overcome, and went to his room where he shot and killed himself.

THe Hatirax Barration,—On Tuesday evening, says the Halifax Heraid, the mem- bers of the Halifax battalion handed in their arms and accoutrements at the Drill Shed. The men of the 63rd and H. G A. were paid off, the payment of the 65th being deferred till another time. Company 3 was addressed by Captain Weston, who told his men that if he had been strict with them at any time during their absence it was only for their own good. The company is unanimous in its praise of the manoer in which they were treated by Captain Weston. After some of the men had got off their military dress, and were relieved from the rigor of military dis- cipline, they pitched into one of the Captains of the Battalion in a very energetic way, charging him with many wicked things, and even going so far as to threaten libel snits if no apologies were made.
