Concert at St. James’ Hall.

THE concert in St. James’ Hall last even- ing brought together a full house, and was fully up usual high standard of the’ iy given by the Y. M. L. \. during the past season, The piano duets were all well played. Little Miss Churchill deserves special mention. Dr. Blinchard was listened to with interest and amusement as he read of the troubles of a peripatetic Nsquimaux who fell in love with a Chinese young lady, and found out to his cost that ‘the course of true love never did ran smooth” The vocal selos by Miss Hyndman, Mrs. McLean, Mrs. Norton, and Mrs. McLeod were all much enjoyed by the audience, who were generous witi their applause. Miss Earle’s solo was very sweetly sung, and quite deserved the rap- turous reception which was accorded it. No encores were permitted, owing to the

rb tO Lele

Concerts prev)

length of the programme. Mr. Vin- nicumbe played a selection of Scotch uirs in his usual brilliant style, ind the instrumental trio by Messrs.

Fietcher, Vinnicomble and Earle wasone ot the best numbers of the evening. Muster Hyndman’s violin playing leads one to be- lieve that he will, before long, be as_ indis- pensable for concerts as his popular tutor Mr. McPherson entered thoroughly into the sprrit of his reading, although it was 4 lirtle long, considering the nambers on the programme. The humorous manner in which the Rev. James Carruthers told of the trouble encountered by a brother of the zioth in his vain efforts to persuade a stubburn old tom-turkey to sit upon and hatch a nest of eggs, caused roars of laugh- | cer. A chorus by the chuir complered the oncert—the last of the season. Mr. Earle | has succeeded admirably in his manage-

ment of this winter’s series of concerts, and

the Y M. L. A. deserve credit for yetting

them up.

We must say a word about the very in-

convenient mode of egress from the Hall.

A smali outer door, through which it is

hard for two people t> pass abreast, is not! large enough for the exit of the ntmbers! who attend. Of course, people are too | good humored to complain, but, if a

larger door were made, a great cause of

annoyance would be removed. Perhaps

this drawback will be remedied before the

next season begins.

Stanley the Hero.

Few men of the present age deserve to be placed in the same category with Henry M. Stanley for hervism. Four times he has crosset the dark cofitinent, and led ex- peditions that encountered perils and dan- gers that would have daunted the courage of many of the bravest generals of. war. His object was a grand one, and his genius had fuil scope in exploring the uncivilized regions of unknown Africa.

When the missionary, Livingstone, was supposed to have been murdered or held a prisoner, this brave young man offered to yo to Livingstone’s rescue. After a hard and difticuls march he found the missionary on the shores of Lake Tanganyika. He aiterwards founded the Congo Free State that is to-day attracting the commercial world, and will, with afew years develop- ment, rank among the richest countries in the world in commercial commodities. His trip across the continent from west to east was made for the purpose of rescuing Emen Pasha, who was supposed to have been t»ken prisoner in the Soudanese Province, His mission was not one of destruction and bluedshed, but to build up an uncivilized people by letting the light of Christianity and civil. zstion shine in upon them.

News Notes. Coal has been discovered at Brownsyille, a mile from Westminster, B. ©. For the first time in the memory of the oldest fishermen the genuine fur seal has been seen in the Fraser River. : The St. John, N. B.. Sun says that the demand for lobsters is unpzecedented, and prices are fast advancing in New York on account of inadequate supply. Gue of the largest opium dealers in Vic toria, B. C., has clcsed his store on ac eount of the dulness in that line. This is due to the fact that there has been a mark- ed decrease in the Ubinese population, and that so much of the stuff has been smuggled into the States. The present run of spring salmon on the Fraser is admitted to be the greatest ever known on that river. The fishermen are being paid at the rate of a dollar each for the fish. A day’s wages may amount to $25, $37, or $42.

Bruce’s Complaint.

Str,—I think the managers of the old | Kirk should without delay improve the means of egress from the Hall. There is now but one very small door leading iuto a porch, and out of this porch two doors op n into the Hall proper. It is bad enough being crowded gving into the Hall, Lut comivg out itis simply awful, Last night at the concert there was a_ full] house, and just fancy the whole house filing | Oit by the two doors into a porch which | has but one entrance to the street, and that one smaller than either of the other | doors. In case of fire or a panic, very few would get out alive. But besides, there is | another inconvenience which, owing to the | means of egress, many of the young mei and young ladies who attend the old Kirk suffer from. I attended there Jast night and had, as I have had on other occasious, to take a back seat, and could net get cut as early as 1 should like to, and the result was that after pushing my way
