As sone eggs have ac‘uaily two yolks, se | apthue Wardlaw had two hearts; and, at! ‘sight of Helen’s father, the baser ore ceased to beat for a while. He ran to General Rolleston, shook him warmly by the hand, and welcomed him to England with sparkling eyes. » It is pleasant to be so welcomed, and the stately soldier returned his grasp in kind, ‘Is Helen with you, sir?’ said Wardlaw, inaking a movement to go on to the door; for he thought she must be outside in the cab, ‘No, she is not,’ said General Rolleston. ‘There, now,’ said Arthur, ‘that cruel father of mine has broken his promise, and carried her off to E\m-trees!’ At this moment, Wardlaw senior re- turned to tell Arthur he had teen just too late to meet the Rollestons. ‘Oh, here he is!’ said he; and there were fresh greetings. ‘Well, but,’ said Arthur, Helen ?’ ‘I think itis I who ought to ask that question,’ said Rolleston, gravely. ‘I tele- graphed you to Elm-trees, thinking of course she would come with you to meet me at the station. It does not much matter, a few hours; but her not coming makes me uneasy, for her health was declining when she left me. How is my child, Mr. Ward- law? Pray tell me the trath ? Both the Wardlaws looked at one another and at General Rolleston, and the elder Wardlaw said there was certainly some misunderstanding here. ‘We fully believed that your daughter was coming home with you in the ‘Shan- non.’ ‘Come home with me! Why, of course not. She sailed three weeks before me. Good heavens! Has she not arrived ! ‘No,’ replied old Wardlaw, ‘we have neither seen nor heard of her.’ ‘where is Arthur. ‘In the ‘Proserpine’.’ ee CHAPTER XVII. Artuur Waxptaw fixed on the speaker a gaze full of horror; his jaw fell; a livid =>} pallor spread over his features; he in a hoarse whisper: ‘The Proserpine | and turned his scared e upon Wylie, who was himself leaning against the wall, his stalwart frame beginning to tremble. ‘The sick girl,’ murmured Wylie, and a cold sweat gathered on his brow: General Rolleston looked from one to another with strange misgivings, which soon deepened into a sense of some terrible calamity; for now a strong convulsion swelled Arthur Wardlaw’s heart, his face worked fearfully, and, with a sharp and sudden cry, he fell forward on the table, and his father’s arm alone prevented him from sinking like a dead man on the floor. Yet, though crushed and helpless, he was not insensible—that b‘essing was denied him. General Rolleston implored an explana- tion. Wylie, with downcast and averted face, began to stammer a few disconcerted and unintelligible words; but old Wardlaw silenced him, and said, with much feeling : ‘Let none but a father tell him. My poor, poor friend—the ‘Proserpine |’ How can I say it?’ ‘Lost at sea,’ groaned Wylie. At these fatal words the old warrior’s countenance grew rigid; his large, bony hands gripped the back of the chair on which he leaned, and were white with their own convulsive force; and he bowed his head under the blow without one word. His was an agony too great and mute to be spoken to; and there was silence in the room, broken only by the hysterical moans of the miserable plotter, who had drawn this calamity on his own head. He was in no state to be left alone; and even the bereaved father found pity in his desolate heart for one who loved his lost child se well; and the two old men took him home between them, in a helpless and pitiable condition.

The Paris correspondent of the London Times forwards a letter written in blood by a Nihilist, confined in the terrible Tskoi bastion at St. Petersburg. It describes the harrowing treatment received by the pri- soners and says their food is often mouldy and sometimes putrid; that dysentry and scurvy are prevalent, and that the doctor is afraid to touch the patients. Few medicines are prescribed, and when ordered they are generally countermanded. Prisoners rot away and exhale the odor of dead bodies before life is extinct. The number of those who go mad in consequence of their suffering is daily increasing. Mad men are strapped down and whipped with the knout by the keepers. Fierce yells resound throughout the night, and many persons have com- initted suicide. It is said one woman was outraged and then poisoned. Rats are the wort enemies of the persons. A woman with a babe was obliged to be constantly on the watch and fight night and day to prevent rats from devouring her child. The use of combs and t | soap is forbidden and _pemonen especially rumen, whose hair is allowed to grow, | ‘Why, what ship did she sail in? said) | Glasgow, ——_ ——-—_—_—_— —- = - -— = — ———— - . <= — Srnoie Corirgs Two CENTS. ‘VOL 14.-—NO. 19. ‘literally devoured by lice. The jailers are only kind to those having money, Prison. ers who refuse to reply to questions are ‘tortured, and cases of violation of women are frequent.

The Monton Times reports that Messrs. Harper & Webster have donea good fall jtrade. Their sales in September were $10,000, and in October above that sum, C. W. Craig has taken an action against | the Herald Printing and Publishing Com- “pany, allcging the libellous character of a paragraph published in the Herald, and claims $10,000 damages. , The sardine factory which was started at St. Andrew's N. B., a few weeks since, and which is the first of its kind in New | Brunswick, is doing a rushing basiness at ‘ putting ap fish in spines, oils, mustard, &c. A large number of hands are employed at remunerative wages in all the departmrnts, ‘and it is estimated that for fish and wages the company pay about $1000 per week. | The good effects of this factory are already largely felt among the traders. | The Truro Sun reports that the work at Londonderry is going on as usual. Many of the men have built good houses, they have faith in the National Policy and the good management of the works. Previous to the change in the manegement very few indeed built houses, but since then the merchants have built and extended their stores, the men have built houses because _ they believed in the ‘future of the country,” ‘and they are still feeling hopeful. ' The St. Croix Caurier says a hopeful feel- ing, such as has not been entertained since the present ditliculty arose, was manifested ‘at the recent weeting of the stockholders of the St. Croix Cotton Co. Mr. Charies D. Owen, who is one of the largest ‘holders of stock and who, since the last annnal meeting, has invested $165,000 in the enterpri-e, said that he had examin d ‘the order books of the mill and found that the orders now on hand exceeded those held at the same time last year by 300 per cent. The St. John Telegraph is authority for the statement that railway receipts afford a fair barometer by which to judge of the condition of the country. The Moncton Times thinks the Telegraph correct, and therefore arrives at the conclusion that the Maritime Provinces at least are in a fairly prosperous condition. A statement of the October feceipts of the Interculonial during the past five years is as follows : Cee, SE oc cioke sc caeeaosl $129,390 00 - ees oS Si ves .. 167,045 00 CORRS 23% s Fee .

We have scen some speci- mens of glass manufactured under the supervision of Mr. Fox which are equal to the best American product, in color and workmanship. A glaes cutter 1s now em- ployed at the factory, and is rapidly turn- ing out beautifully finished sets of cut ginss. Thus we see another of the more refined in- dustries added to our resources. The works are now running to their full capa- city, and the prospects of the trade for the rest of the year are good. A few days ago a representative of tho Montreal Gazette calied upon Mr. Smithers, the President of the Bank of Montreal, end Mr. Buchanan, the General Manager, who said that ‘‘a number of wholesale houses had told them their paper was very weil met, and that they were doing a very good business. On the other hand, they thought the merchants had been very cautious, and that credit was being contracted in a fair proportion to the reduced volume of busi ness. They did not anticipate any serious difficulty on the part of the importers and manufacturers in meet- ing their engagements falling due in February and March, and they had no indications of any strain on the part of the mercantile community. They could not recall the name of any firm that had made eny unusual proposition “to them, their lines of discounts being «ll down and very reasonable. There were indications that imports would be, to a certain extent, still further curtailed. With regard to the cotton trade they were of the opinion that with anything like prudence and good management, it would soon work round to a good condition again.” ‘*They can say what they like about the N. P.,” said a Moncton merchant to a representative of the Times a few days ago, ‘‘but things would be pretty flatin Moncton to-day without the new industries establish- ed withm the last few years. I think traders should all keep in stock and the people should buy the goods turned out by our own factories, especially as the home made goods are as a rule supericr in quality to those brought from a distance. Among the industries established in Moncton dur- ing the past four or five years are the sugar retinery, the cotton factory, the steam flouring mill, the brass factory, the knitting factory and machine shop in con- nection therewith, Ehrhardt’s plating factory, Strumbert’s and Lea and Rogers’ woodenware factories, and possibly ethers of minor importance. In aidition to these the business of the iron foundry, Weir's mackine shop, Peters woodenware factory, etc., has been increased; while the new wooden mill at Hamphrey’s and the exten- sion of the brick-making industry at Lewis- ville might a’so be cited as benefits arcruing to this community directly from the new fiscal taiff. The products of Moncton industries are all as good as any ma‘e in the country or out of it for the same moBey, - Se I pre pen ae ge pee es ee ee ee ee ee sia nating i - —_ ~ 7 Beane be a —_— = senna tisk eI es AS ONT RON IRENE ETN ak REE - spat a. oe A ~ aa =
