The Dominion Telegraph Company open their lines to Lower Provinces to-morrow ; rates, thirty cents per ten words. New Yorks, Nov. 4. During a Cheyenne raid in Sappa Valley, Colorado, on the 29th and 30th of Septem- ber, the savages killed thirty men, burned ranches and crops, and stole horses and cattle indiscriminately. The Southern scourge continues to dimin- ish under the influence of the cold weather. There were but nine deaths in New Orleans yesterday, and only eight in Memphis. Lonpon, Oct. 4. The Pall Mall Gazette in leading article this afternoon says that “The United States should choose this precise moment to publish what seems from the telegraphic summary to be rather a threatening dis- patch addressed by Secretary Evarts to the American Minister, Mr. Welsh, concern- ing the fisheries question.” It says that this dispatch *‘can scarcely be regarded as accidental. All the world can see that we have on our hands at present quite as much as we can well deal with, and a really friendly power with a grievance like that, whilst holding to its ~position, would re- frain from casting the matter in an irritat- ing way before this Republic until our affairs had assumed a more peaceful aspect. At any rate this is what, according to the administration of the Alabama arbitration, we might certainly have expected from America.” Lonpon, Nov. 4. A special from Darjeling says it is stated that 60 per cent. of the Ameer’s troops are stricken with fever. Lonpon, Oct. 4. A Calcutta correspondent says informa- tion has been received from Simla to the effect that the Ameer in his reply said he has been anxious for British friendship, but that British policy changed with each new Viceroy. The Ameer declares he is open to make a new treaty; that he is not bound by Russian alliance, and did not invite the Russian Embassy to Cabul. ———— > > —--——_____. Mercantile Public Spirit. Goyernor Seymour, of New York State, in a recent address, complains of the “‘sad lack of interest” merchants, bankers and real estate owners manifest in public ques- tions that directly or indirectly affect their interests. He says :— ‘‘When men in the country, and the for- warders and commission men in the city, were struggling to get tolls on our canals cut down, the classes alluded to showed no interest.- ‘fhe meetings called by the produce men were attended by few outside of those engaged in the pursuits im- mediately connected with the canal. busi- ness. ‘They excited less interest, and were not as’ fully or as generally reported as And yet the revival of trade and the welfare of all classes“ are largely due to the aid to commerce by a reduction of tolls. This lack of spirit is not shown in the other great cities of the world. It was not so in Venice like period of 1877. The earnings of twenty roads, i. e., excluding from the above group the Grand Trunk and Great Western, the Wabash and Scioto Valley, the Dubuque and Sioux city, were as follows, in the period mentioned of the past four years :— 1875 $59,326,640 1876 62,142,996 1877 59,757,813 1878 65,050,414 Showing that the gross earnings of the present year are larger than those of any one of the three yearspreceding. TheGrand Trunk receives less this year than last in the proportion of $6,470.833 to $6,771,784, and the Great Western more, viz., $3,310,- 518 against in 1877, $3,116,045. —_—_-———— > > <> -o oe _—_—-— Death of Chief Justice Harrison Our Toronto dispatch informs us of the death yesterday, at his Toronto residence, of the late Chief Justice Harrison. Judge Harrison was born of Irish parents in Mon- treal on the 3rd of August, 1783, and edu- cated at Trinity College, Toronto, where he graduated as B.O.L. in 1855 and D.C.L. in 1859. He married Anna, daughter of the late J. M. Muckle, Esq., the well known merchant of Quebee, who died in 1866. In 1868 he married Kennethina Mackay, daughter of the late Hugh Scobie, Esq., editor of the Toronto Colonist. He was called to the Toronto Bar in 1855, created Q. C. in 1867, elected a Bencher of the Law Society of Ontario in 1871, was chief clerk of the Crown Law Department of Upper Canada from 1854 to 1859, and joint editor of the Upper Canada Law Journal from 1857 to 1872. He was auther of a ‘ Di- gest of cases decided in the Queen’s Bench from 1823 to 1851,” and numerous other standard works of reference te the profes- sion. He was a Conservative in politics, and supported Sir John A. McDonald’s policy when in the Legislature.—(Quebec Chronicle. _——— 682 ee Miscellaneous News. Still another of the Montreal hotels has succumbed to the hard times, the well- known Montreal House, which has closed its doors, and the furniture of which has been sold by auction. The ‘‘ Dominion Bank Note Company” seeks incorporation, to engrave bank notes, and do a general lithographing and _print- ing business in Ottawa, capital to be $100,- 000, in 20,000 shares of $60 each. Principally owing to the discovery of the electric light, New York gas stocks have fallen in the past few months as follows :— The Manhattan Company from 300 to 148, the Metropolitan from 163 to 105, the New York trom 157 to 77, the Harlem nr 180 to 44, and the Mutual from 11 to 60, Boulogne, France, is to have a deep-sea harbor, accessible to large steamers at all states of the tide. The work will take fif- teen years to completé. The plans and estimates have been made by M. Stoecklin, chief engineer of the Pas de Calais, and the = is estimated at 17,000,000 frances (£680,- .) ' The clerks of the Bank of France have been forbidden to wear the mustache, This hardship has not been confined to them, however, for that appendage has frequently been the subject of legislation. In Feb- ruary, 1692, soldiers of the Empire were for bidden to wax their moustaches or wear them in sharp points, and in June the wear- ing of the moustache was limited to the or Genoa when they played such grand | grenadiers. parts in history.” Commenting on which, the ‘New York Bulletin says : We have: different methods of creating public opinion and of making public* opinion’ effectively felt from those employed in mediwval times. The mer- chants and bankers of our day are constant- ly speaking and making their influence felt through the commercial and financial press, au, imstrumentality wholly unknown to Genoa and Venice. Through the silent operation of that instrumentality, the “‘pub- lic spirit” of the modern banker and mer- chant 1s enabled to make itself felt. among a far wider constituency than was possible at the merchants’ meetings on the Rialto. Charles Gilbert has been in the Connec- tieut State prison thirteen years on a life sentence for murder. The truth now comes out that he was only guilty of a knowledge of the crime, his father being the actual murderer. The son would not speak out until after the death of the father. It is believed that,as he has been punished ne for his compiicity, he will be par- oned, Mr. Cartwright has been calculating that, with the change of fifteen hundred votes in thirty counties, the Reformers would have had a majority in Ontario, while, with three thousand additional votes throughout The press, in fact, is doing for the modern | the Dominion they would have swe t merchant the work that the merchant of | country.
