RELIGIOUS STRIFE IX CANADA. Making War on the Jesuits In Parlia ment and Klsewhere. An exciting debate ou the Jesuit qnrstion oc enrred in the parliament at Ottawa yesterday when the O'Brien resolution declaring the Jesuit order a secret organization franght with danger to Canada came up. Col. O'Brien Raid that he moved his amendment owing to the conviction* of his constituent*. and what he be lieved to be the sentiment* of a majority of the people of the l>ominion. although he was elected aa a supporter of Sir John Macdonald. Col. O'Brien attacked the Jesuit order vehe mently and moved that a series of resolutions on the subject be submitted to the governor-gen eral. These resolutions call on the governor-gen eral to disallow the Jesuit act on the ground that the legislature of Quebec had no power to pass ?aid act. because "it endows from public funds a religious organization, thereby violating the UDvritten but undoubted constitutional princi ple of the complete separation of church and state, and of the absolute equality of all de nominations before the law; secondly, because it recognizes the usurpation of the right by a foreign authority?namely, the pope of Rome to claim that his consent was necessary to em power the provincial legislature to dispose of a portion of the public domain, and also because ihe act is made to depend upon the will, and the appropriation of the grant thereby made is subject to the control of the same authority; and. thirdly, because the endowing of the j ?ocietv ol Jesuits, an alien, secret and politico religious body, the expulsion of which from j ?very Christian community wherein it has had j a footing has been re idered necessary by its intolerant and miscbietous intermeddling with the functions of civil government, is fraught with danger to the civil and religious liberties of the people of Canada." A lengthy de!?nte followed, members attack ing or defending Col. O'Brien's motion. The debate was adjourned without coming to a vote. A memorial from the Protestant Alliance was presented to Lord Knutsford. secretary of state for the colonies, in London on Tuesday, j asking the government to disallow the Quebec ! Jesuits estates act. Lord Knutsford, in reply, I said that the matter rested entirely with the j t anadian government, to which the memorial ! would be forwarded. The pope, according to the desire of the t anadian episcopacy, has issued a brief in which he decides the amount of restitution to the Jesuits by the Canadian government as fol lows: *160.000 to the Jesuits. ?100.000 to the i atholic bishops and 5140.000 to the Montreal university. It is understood that the Toronto Mai' print ing company is making preparation to contest its libel suit with the Jesuits wholly regardless of expense. The company will send a commis sion at once to France and Belgium for the purpose of arranging with prominent states men there to come over and give evidence touching the operations of the Jesuit society in those countries. A distinguished Paris advo cate will also be engaged to assist the MaW? counsel in Montreal and Toronto in preparing the interrogatories to be put at the trial to the heads of the Jesuit order here. The suit grows j out of the charges made by the paper in con testing the bill passed by "the Quebec legisla- I tare granting the order *100.000 as compensa tion for the appropriation of their lands many years ago. ?*? ? A Horse that Feeds Another. Fn?fn the liusft'n Transcript. Billy, a remarkably intelligent horse used in the police wagon of division "J. has taken up an idea which he follows daily. One of the mounted officers in the division leaves his horse in the stable connected with the station * on Blu- Hill avenue, near Dudley street, while he answers to the roll-call at noon and again at 6 o'clock. The officer fastens his horse to the post forming one corner at the head of Billy's stall, aud as soon as the animal is tied, Billy picks np a mouthful of hay, forces it through the iron grating about his stall, and waits until his guest haa eaten it. Then he repeats the operation and continues his lios 1 vitality until the officer returns for his horse. Jilly began to do this early in the fall, without any suggestion from the men. aud he does it ! twice a d ? v much to the satisfaction of his vi.-itor. The performance has attracted con siderable attention in the neighborhood, and Billy 'a politeness has won him many friends. 11 . - Tho Vlrjln Was Foolish. Lydia Athertuii in Wale Awake. A gentleman and l.is wife who had gone to a neighbor's for an evening visit felt obliged to cut short their stay, in consideration of the feelings of their young laely hostess, who was overcome with mortification because the parlor lamp went out. It was a house* where the decorative craze I was at the tune rampant. Scarcely an article in the room that was not Kensington painted or Kensington stitched or "artistically draped.'' Decorated bellows, decorated candles, deco rated mirrors, decorated jars, jugs, plates, bottles, mugs, vases, baskets, fans^ milking t ?tools, placques and panels, lambrequins, wher ever lambrequins could be attached; filmy ' drapery over pictures and easel. over every- ) thing that could be draped?catching oil one's buttons, be.ng whisked off on one s skirts if one i dared to move. Greatest triumph of all was a genuinely ar- | tiatic lamp of price, which had over it a "petti- j coat of satin ribbons, in a symphony of yellow j ?citron yellow, lemon yellow, gold, old i gold and orange?showing through an j onter petticoat of exquisite lace with a flounce | that would have driven a cardinal wild to pos- I *es? it for hi9 own personal adornment. But | alack for the practical details of this show I house! The light began to wane, then rally. I again wane; and then with one desperate 1 effort at saving the family name, it went out. Ou the way home the' couple talked pity ingly of the lady's humiliation. "The moral I of which is." said she. "that lamps should be . trimmed," replied he, "but not with point ? lace."

A Successful Exhibition of thl? Novel Process. From the Boston Herald. In response to invitations of Mr. H. A. Royee. general manager of the Thomson Electric Weld ing company of this city, about fifty gentlemen assembled at the station of the Maiden Electric company, in Maiden, to witness the novel pro cess of welding metals by electric current. There were three welding machines, one small and the other two much larger. The first is called the inch-iron machine, for the reason that it has a capacity of welding from a quarter to an inch bar iron. It will also weld copper from one-eighth to one-half inch in diameter, and brass of somewhat larger size. One of the larger machines is known as the 2-inch pipe machine, as it has the capacity of welding heavv 2-iuch iron pipe and smaller sizes. The third is called the 2-inch iron machine, and will weld a solid bar of iron of that size, as well as ( smaller sizes. These machines arc supplied with current by a dynamo having a constant potential of about 300 volts, hnd strength from SO to 'JO amperes. The exhibition of welding was begun on the small machine, when several pieces of iron, brass, and copper were successfully welded, much to the surprise and gratification of those present, the work on this machine being closed [ by the welding of a bar of iron an infch in di ameter. The principle of this process is so simple and so direct that the wonaer is nobody thought of it before. It is based on the incan- j descence of the carbons in the arc light. In these latter the carbons are placed bv the trim mer so as to touch, and when the current is es tablished in the circuit and goes through them they are drawn slightly apart by proper me ehAninm in the lamp. The electric current, en countering great resistance from the air. pro duces great heat, which, acting on the carbons, gives a white incandesccnce?hence the arc light. This principle is utilized in welding. The ends of metals to be welded are brought in close contact; then the current is run through them, and when it is established these ends are separated slightly, when the electric arc is formed between them and heat ensues, which by a skilful arrangement of the machine, is gradually intensified until the desired welding heat ia obtained. At thin juncture the current is shut off by the operator, and the machine manipulated so as to press the heated ends to gether, when the well is at once completed. 1'he whole process is clean, neat, beautiful. I In the weldings done on the small machine the tile showed the homogeneity of the metal at the point of junction, and to show liow strong this weld was Mr. Lemp twisted one of the joined bars until the metal broke, but the break was not at the weld. Next an exhibition was given of welding 2 inch pipe on the machine designed for that purpose. _ This was as readily and as easily ef fected as in the case of the smaller bars iii the first machine, the weld being perfect, and leaving but a little ridge on the inside. Then on the third machine bars of solid 2 mch iron were welded with the greatest ease and in the most perfect manuer. The metal at first assumes at the junction a dull reddish color. This color gradually extends on each I side about one inch or so. but while it is spread- ! ing there is a change to a white heat where the metals meet. Boriix is used to prevent i outside oxidation only. Then there is the sudden shutting off of the current, a forcing together of the heated ends, with the result of a complete union of the metals. The whole j process is one of marvelous simplicity and at the same time wonderful completeness. ? ? A Canadian Romance. From the Sprinirfieltl Republican. Janet Kussell was the belle of Lynnbrier, a Canadian village on the St. Lawrence, and was admired by all of the swains who dwelt in those parts, but her '-steady company" was a hand some young fellow. John Miller, son of the vil lage postmaster, who also kept a general store. John and Janet went together to a frolic one night, and on the road John asked the old question, which was answered in the affirma tive. Things went nicely, but at last. Janet (lancing twice in succession w ith a young fellow whom he had looki-d upon as a rival, John felt bad. and on the way home sharp words passed be tween*them. The girl told him that she wished it had been Charley Hall (the rival; who had asked her the question before mentioned, whereat John said he would give her a day to take that back, and if not?why. all was over between them. Janet relented when she had time to think about it. and the next morning wrote a note to John and dropped it into the letter box at old Mr. Miller's store. Time passed on. A year or so after that Charlev Hall and Janet Kussell were married, and John Miller was married to another girl. Some five years passed and old Mr. Miller died, leaving his property arid store to his son. who at once set about making improvements. And it so hap pened that the old letter-box was broken up. Mrs. Hall, accompanied by her eldest daughter, four years old. was in the store. A letter dropped to the floor; a workman picked it up and with the remark. "Here's an old letter ad dressed to you. Mr. Miller." passed it to John. At the moment lie was talking to his old sweet heart. He took the letter and turned it over and over in his hand. As Janet's eve fell on it she blushed. John opened the note and read it. then handed it to Janet. She took her little one by the hand and hurriedly left. Was it for the better or worse? If you Drink you'll llioat. From the Philadelphia Times. Liquids make fat. There is no doubt of this in my mind, though I am fully cognizant of the j fact that a good many people will deny it. The { character of the liquids has a good deal to do with it. but the practice of drinking invariably leads to unwieldy bulk. In Spain, where men drink little, a fat man is unknown. In Paris, where men content themselves with sipping I tlnniblesfhl of absinthe or small cups of black coffee, the French are thin to a remarkable de gree. The women, on the other hand, drink great quantities of champagne. Burgutidv and latterly beer, and they are as a result prone to stoutness. In England men drink ale and beer, and they are a thick-necked, pudgy and heavy race as a rule. I had observed ail this many times, and when I went to Germany, where I kru w the consumption of beer was very great, I had prepared to find fat men in abundance! I was not disappointed. There would seem to be absolutely no end of big. corpulent and un wieldy men in Germany. While in the army they are slim and splendid looking warriors, but two months after thev leave the ranks tliev become heavy, puffy and beefy to the last de" gree. This is even so in the ranks among the other soldiers, and the cavalry were men of such extraordinary weight that they always ex cited comment from strangers. ??? An Opportunity Lost. From the Boston Globe. "I say," said Berkey, to his wife yesterday at dinner, "you didn't say anything to any one about what I was telling you the night before last, did von? That's a secret." "A secret! Why, I didn't know it was a se cret." she replied regretfully. "Well, did von tell it? I want to know." "Whv. no. I never thought of it since. I didn't know it was a secret." ??

From the London Troth. I often wonder whether it i?. after all, an evil j for French ministers to be short-lived?unless | for the ministers and their wives. If they were j not often overthrown the number of persons to [ taste the sweets of office would be so much less. The constant shuffling of the cards and new deals have also the advantage of prevent ing the formation of a governmental caste, which would be the most unendurably con servative one that ever existed, and. I doubt not, the most insolent and pnffed np. You have no idea in England of the magnificence in which members of French cabinets live. They are housed in palaces, at once handsome, lux urious and snag?a rare combination. Admir ably trained footmen are thrown in with the palaces. Lords chamberlain and masters of the ceremonies might take lessons in deport ment from the reserved, respectful and self respecting nshers in black, with steel chains round their necks, who show visitors into the presence of the minister on the ground floor e Heiress on the first floor. The furniture of a ministry is all very hand "id imposing in the ground floor rooms. All this splendor takes away the breath of an Englishman fresh to Paris, who has been used to the dinginess of the Irish office and the plain brick house at Whitehall at which the G. O. M. resided when in office. At a French ministry the foot sinks in winter in the deep pile of the carpets. In summer the oak parquet floors are beautifully polished, giving a chiirming sense of coolness and dustlessness. Immense win dows of the folding door model, thrown wide open if the weather be sunny, affotd prospects of velvety turf, old trees, shrubberies and flower beds in bright bloom. There is not a minister ial residence that has not a garden spacious enough to deserve the name of a park, and tho atmosphere of Paris is free from smoke blacks, i The ministress lives generally on the first i floor of the official residence, which is just as] spacious and handsome, but more gay and elo- I quently coqnettish, than the ground floor rooms. The sitting rooms of the outgoing prime Ministress?the nicest one we have had for an age?were done up for the duchess de Persingy when she was running her curious rig under the empire. For her pleasure the Garde Meuble, which is an infinite wealth of beautiful furniture, was rifled of some of its most lovely eighteenth-century treasures. The duchess was. on her father's side the grand-daughter ofNev, the cooper's son. On her mother's side slie stood in the same relation to Jacques Lafitte, of financial celebrity, who came to Paris with worn-out shoes and an empty pocket, but who won the heart of a miserly banker by stooping to pick up a pin in his eourt-vard. and so was able to make his way to fortune. Yet the duchess was as daintv as if her ancestors for centuries had been of the due s class. A crumpled rose petal on her couch i would have made her cry out. She afterward ; had to slave ill the house of her second husband i in Lgvpt (Lemoyne, an Orleans attorney), like j her great grandmother. The sitting rooms, the I use of which Mine. Floquet has enjoyed for the last ten mouths, are done up with rare old bro- | cades and old pink Sevres and Dresden porce- ' la ins. The bed rooms are just as nice, and the I dining room is a bijou. All the year round ' ministresses can have what flowers they please \ from the state greenhouses. How. then, could ! they help regarding themselves as sovereign j ladies were their husbands' tenure of office long? ? *?* . Henry W. Paine. ANECDOTES SHOWING HIS WIT AX1> HIS WONDEK FCL MEMORY. From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal, March 2. The writer heard one day this week some new stories about that wonderful man. Henrv W. Paine, whose acute sayings are numbered among the world's best epigrams. The narrator was once a pupil of Paine's in the Boston uni versity law school, where Paine lectured on real property. "One day," said this gentleman. "Mr. Paine made this remarkable statement to me: 'I was | born on the bank of the Kennebec river and I grew up there; yet I never went in swimming, | put on a skate, played a game of cards, or bor rowed a dollar.' " I will leave it to my readers who are ac quainted with the customs of Kennebeckers to decide which of these four specifications of ab stinence is the more remarkable. "I will tell you an incident." said this gen tleman, -to illustrate the wonderful power of Paine's memory when he was in his prime They were exhibited almost (lailv. but never more conspicuously or dramatically than in this case. "In 1879 he visited England, and with apartv of ladies and gentlemen, went to Windsor Castle. Although Paine had never been there before, he seemed to be perfectly acquainted with all the objects of interest on "the road and in the vicinity which he pointed out to his friends with copious comments. One of the buildings to which he called their attention was a house which he said once belonged to Lord Coke, the great Eng'ish jurist. Beg your pardon, sir,' said an Englishman standing by. woo OTtrhcnrdj 'Lord Coke never lived there.' I think I am right.' said Paine qnietlv. If niv memory serves me. Lord Coke acquired that house by his marriage with his second wife. Ann Hatton.' " "You're wrong, sir.' persisted the English man. '1 ni a member ot Lord Coke's profes sion. and I know.' ?; -Well, we won't dispute it fnrther,' said Paine, pleasantly. 'We probably agree as well as two lawyers ever do/ -Nothing more was said, bat the next dav as I aine was walking 011 the* Strand in London, whom should he meet but this gentleman ! The latter took off his hat on seeing him. handed him his card, and said: 41 wish to beg your par don. sir. Lord Coke did live in that house. iou Were right and I was wrong.' "This was the beginning of an agreeable ac quaintance. " I remember riding home in a horse car with Paine one day," continued this gentleman, "i aiue was reading a sheepskin-bound volume of law reports. A mutual acquaintance called hini1 and said: 'See here, Paiue, do vou have to study law still?" This isn t law,' said Paine. 'It's onlv a col lection of decisions of the Massachusetts su preme com t' ' 'I he great lawyer." the gentleman went on, ?once quoted some singularly beautiful and ap propriate verses in an impromptu tribute to the memory of a distinguish'd jourist. the spon taneous eloquence of which kept his hearers spell-bound. Somebody asked him where he found those lines. j " 'I only know,' said he. 'that inv father re peated them to nie over sixty years ago. when I was a lad. I never have seen or heard them since. Paine inherited his waggish spirit from his lather, who was an inveterate joker. One day a Waterville citizen, noted for his miserly character, asked Paine the elder to write an enitaph to be placed 011 his grave stone after he should have gone. Paine agreed to do it, and sent the following: I'1' H*aven be when sinner* reuse to gin.

She does, though, j There may be nothing of the fiirt about her, and she maybe quick to repel, with a withering glance, any advances upon the part of a strange vonng man, but she does like to appear bright and winsome in her manner.

She thirsts for male admira tion. and exercises many neat little tricks to obtain it.

Jonas Harris had begun to "keep company'' with Hannah Bell, and yet in all that time he had not mus tered courage to propose a certain important question. His house was lonely and waiting: her's was lonely enough to be vacated, and still I Jonas could not bring himself to speak the de cisive words. Many a time he had walked up to her door with the courage of a lion, only to find himself a very mouse when she appeared. He had never failed in dropping in to cheer her loneliness on Christmas evening, and this year he presented himself as usual. The hearth was swept, the fire burned brightly, and Miss Hannah was adorned with smiles and a red bow. Conversation went serenely on for an hour or so. and then, when they both sat paring red cheeked apples with great contentment, Jonas began to call upon his recollections. "It s a good many years, ain't it, Hannah. Bince you and I sot here together?" [ "Yes, a good many." "I wonder if I shall be settin' here this time another year?'* "Maybe I shan't be at home. Perhaps I shall go out to spend the evening mvself." said Miss Hannah, briskly. This was a blow indeed, and Jonas felt it. j "\\ here?" he gasped. 4,Oh. I don't know," she returned, beginning to quarter her apple. "I might be out to tea? over to your house, for instance." "But there wouldn't be anybody over there to get supper for you." "Maybe I could get it myself." "So you could! so you could!" cried Jonas, his eyes beginning to sparkle. -But there wouldn t be anybody to cook the pies and cakes beforehand." "Maybe I could cook "em." At that moment Jonas' plate fell between his knees to the hearth and broke in two, but neither of them noticed it. "Hannah." cried he with the pent up emphasis of seven long years, "could you bring yourself to think of gettin' married'/"" A slow smile curved her lips; surely she had been given abundant time for consideration. "Maybe I could." she returned, demurely, and Jonas has admired himself to this day for leading up to the subject so cleverly. An Unpopular Author. From the Chicago Herald. "Is your latest novel any more successful, Penwipe, than your others?" "No; it lias failed like the rest of 'em. I can't seem to catch on at all with the reading public." '4Maybe that r because your books, like a good many others nowadays, are not fit to read." "No; it's because thev are." ???_ Clubs for Boys. From the New Haven News. The members of the Freshman classes of the academic and scientific departments of Yale have on their own accord arranged to establish a boys' club somewhere in the sixth or seventh wards. A committee was appointed several weeks ago, and in a few days collected between i^oOO and c000. The club will be similar to those which have been established in Fair Haven and other places in the state, but will be entirely under the control of the students. They went to Mr. Collins for advice, and the club will receive his attention, although with out any official connection. The ar rangements have not been fully com pleted yet. and it is not determined whether the club will be opened this spring or next fall. The committees wiil meet in a few days and will determine then upon the time for opening. It it comes this spring, it will probably be in a low weeks. The club will not in any direct way be a religious institution, but is intended merely to tirsiwythe children awav from the street. There f re now nine boys' clubs in the state, the nint having been ' established at Stamford yesterday evening. The total mem bership is about 3.800. The towns in which successful clubs are now running are Bridge port, Meriden. New Haven, Norwich. New Lon don, Fair Haven, Willimantic and Waterburv. An Embezzi.er Murders His Family.?W. H.
