s@ ADDRESS,

W. L. GOTTON,

Orrawa, Sept. 30.

The House of Commons Chamber is be- ing refitted. There are eighty members, who never sat before, and 14 old members who were out of last Parliament. It is said that Burke will resign for Durham in favor of Blake, Peter Mitchell is spoken of for the Senate.

Montreal.

Montreal, Sept. 30.

A magnificent Liberal-Conservative de- monstration was held at Three Rivers for ‘the whole Province. The steamers and railways were crowded.

Lord Dufferin has returned to Quebec,

The notorious Goff has left fer parts unknown, and has not since been heard from.

A Bench warrant has been issued against James Stewart, of the ‘‘ Herald” on the charge of libel.

Judge Rainsville has sent back the ballot of Montreal Centre to be recounted by the returning officer, who alone will declare the result. Thus has Devlin’s first attempt to unseat Ryan failed.

Immense crowds are arriving for the boat race. Both men are in fine form and are daily practising.

The latest political combination is that Dorion will take Taschearean’s seat on the Supreme Bench, Meredith, of Quebec, will take Dorion’s place, and Laflamme Me- redith’s place. This I have from reliable Grit sources. The ‘‘ Star” refers to it to. night.

The Afghan Insult.

Lonpon, Oct. 1.

Five batteries of artillery will leave Portsmouth for India on the 15th. The second battalion of the 14th Regt. at Cur- ragh, will embark at Queenstown for India on Saturday next.

A dispatch to the Duily News from Sumla says preparations are commenced with the utmost speed, several regiments are already mobilized, but the commissariat department requires reasonable time for completion. The army is enthusiastic and the spirit of the native troops is admirable.

Viensxa, Sept. 30.

The Political Correspondence Coustanti- nople dispatch states that Schir Ali Khan, the Secret Envoy of the Ameer of Afghan- istan, is instructed to claim the Sultan’s in- tervention in the pending difficulty in order that England shall not declare war against

Afghanistan. | He is further to convince the Sultan that ‘an alliance with Russia is advisable for Musselmans and that the Ameer personally has decided to conclude such an alliance.

New York. New York, Sept. 30. The released Fenians, Condon and Mel- ode, who arrived here by the steamer Mosel on Sunday, had many visitors today. They attended a lecture delivered to-night in their aid by Michael Dewitt. The shipwrecked crew of the Spanish frigate Pizarro will sail on Thursday for Havana.

The London News is informed that Kuo | Sung Tao, the Chinese Minister to London ‘and Paris, shortly retire. | A Pesth Ministerial journal publishes a | Vienna telegrain that there is a crisis in the | Hungarian Cabinet in consequence of the , demands of the military party in connexion | with Bosnian occupation.

The Telegraph's Vienna dispatch confirms the report that Herr Von Szell, the Hun- garian Finance Minister, has announced his intention of resigning.

The Affghanistan Troubles.

| Telegraphic despatches of the 30th ult. | from India leave no hope that the Affghan- |istan difficulty will be settled peaceably.

The Government are hastening on military preparations, and troops are being collected from all sides and sent to vatious points on | the northwest frontier of India. A Caleut- ,ta despatch states that the Government | will make Lahore their headquarters for

the winter, and will not return to Calcutta. |The Foreign Office received orders from the ‘camp at Lahore. This looks as though the | Viceroy entertained no hopes of peace. |The Government are anxious te avoid act- ‘ing hastily. The Ameer has still the choice of submission open to him. In any event, it is doubtful whether an attempt to enter '_Affghanistan on a large scale will be made (until spring. Accurate information regard- |ing the Ameer’s strength is wanting, but it is well known that he has a well-equipped ‘standing army, after the European medel, , besides irregular levies. The most difficult | question to be encountered is the possible | hostile attitude of the border tribes. The faintest mistake, in fact, or error in judg- ment might excite a blaze of warfare along the whole frontier of eight hundred miles. | It is estimated that these tribes can easily |

gives us satisfaction, the resent occasion will be seized to secure for ourselves the passes piercing the mountain ranges along the whole frontier, from Khyber to Bolan, and further strategetic measures will be

, adopted to dominate the Dalemir range and

Hindoo Koosh mountains. The present condition of affairs on the Afghan frontier and hill tribes, should, once for all, cease to exist, and we may thank the Ameer, and more especially Russia,in the Caucasus, for affording us this opportunity of con- solidating the defences of our Indian Em- pire by strategic and military reconstruc- tion of our frontier.

A Black Hills Pleasantry

Deapwoop, September 27.—The treasure coach of the Cheyenne and Black Hills stage line, that left here yesterday morning was stopped by five armed men at Canon Springs, forty-five miles south of here, at 3

.m. Two messengers, Captain Smith and Galehill, were seriously wounded, and one passenger, H. O. Campbell, a telegraph op- erator, was killed. The treasure taken amounted to between $25,000 and $30,000. Ten armed men have strrted from here in pursuit of the robbers.

—-—___«< > The Yellow Fever as Seen in Memphis.

(Memphis Daily Appeal, Sept. 10th.)

To lose over twelve hundred men, women and children in twenty-seven days out of a population of 15,000, white and black, and to be expending over $10,000 for twelve hundred nurses and forty doctors, and for medicines and food, for more than 3,000 sick and 10,000 indigent, is to us a sad re- ality, enough to move even a stoic to tears. But, besides this, there come the tales of individual sorrow; of whole families swept away in a week, leaving not even one of the name; of nurses dying at their posts, of priests and ministers and good sisters fol- lowing those they succored so fast as to ap- pall the stoutest heart and ‘‘ give us pause ” amid the general wreck and ruin. No pen can do these scenes and sights justice; no tongue exaggerate them. Lisping child- hood, hoary and venerable old age, the vagrant and the merchant, the man of God and the unbeliever, all are taken, all are claimed alike by the awful pestilence. It thins all ranks, and brings sorrow to the mansion, the cottage and the cabin. The cry of the fatherless is heard every hour, claiming the pity, the sympathy, and the tears of the most hardened veteran. In this office, as we write, there are but twe left of all whoa month ago were employed

in the editorial, counting and composing -

rooms, and our pressman 18 down with the fever. Strangers to the office,as to the business, are attending to our affairs, while the only editor left on duty alternates, throngh sixteen hours a day, between his desk and a case. This is our person- al measure of the dreadfui epidem- ic, and surely it is a sad one. It has moved us to tears many a time the past ten days, although we are not used:to the melting mood, Our experience is one we will never forget, and it is a common one. The fifth epidemic we have passed through, this surpasses them all in the horrors it has uncovered. Parents have deserted ehil- dren, and children parents, husbands their wives, but not one wife a husband. Men have dropped dead on the streets, while others have died neglected, only to be dis- covered by the death-spreading gases from their bodies. Little children clamoring for the food she could no longer give, have ap- pealed to the dead mother, who gave up her spirif as she gave birth to her last, in an agony of the fever. Ministers of the gospel carrying messages of peace, hurrying from house to house, have had their weary feet arrested and their work stayed by the pestilence, that walks in the noonday as at night. The priest, administering the ex- treme unction, and the bride of Christ, wiping the death-damp from the forehead of those whose friends and kinfolk are far away, are almost paralyzed in the sacred act, and die even before we know they are sick. The business of the hour is the succor of the sick, the burial of the dead, and the care of the needy living. The last words of those who are well, are at night farewells tothe dead, and the first in the morning ‘‘who lives and who has died?” All day, and every hour of the day, this question is repeated, and the heart sickens at the reports, and the soul grows weary over the repetition. And yet there is no relief nor any release. Worse and worse the epedemic has grown until to-day it has capped the climax, and the hearts cf the brave men who have stood in the breach are blanched with fear, with a dread that annihilation awaits us,and that we are destined to be blotted from the earth. Fear sits on every face and dread on every heart. We work not in the shadow, but in the very face of Death. We meet him on every hand and at every moment in the names of his victims. and in the desolation he has spread about us. Hope we have none. We despair of any relief, but we are nerved forthe end. We pry Dios upon the generous who have helped us

in the States; we pray for the safety of

those who have come among us to nurse the sick and minister to the dying, and we ask that ihe names of the women and men who have laid down their liyes for us shall be handed down forever as among the brightest and best of earth.
