It is from tbe tenement districts, how ever, and from the dispensaries and hospi- tals that the most hariowiug accounts of this malady reach tbe public ear.

Yesterday morning there wtre fully three hundred people assembled without tbe doors of the dupen ary on Kast Twsnty -sixth street prior to the opening at 'J am, and nearly every one was more or less alllioled with gripsymp toms. Some were pitifully ill, with feverish faces, haggard eye* and hollow oongh. The Board of Health dose not seek to disguise the fact that la grippe holds the town, oat deolarts it* entire inability to check the spread of tbe malady. Disinfect- Mis and isolation are powerless to prevent the prograe* of this epidemic, which is atmospheric.

About Ike Italtway Ila*-n*te Whuiu th. Uueesi Ha* Honored. A Montreal deipatch says : There was a feeling of widespread satisfaction in rail- way and business circles generally to-day over tbe report that the Queen had been pleased to ounter the honor of emigbthood upon Mr. Joseph Uiokson, general manager of the Grai.d Trunk Railway Company. Bach an announcement has been long tx peeled by Mr. Hiokson's friend*. While it was acknowledged that no honor however high could add to tbe general Mteem in which Mr. Hickson is personally held by all classes of the community in which he has lived for many years, the feeling was gen- eral that both on account ol his high per- sonal character and tbe distinguished ser- vices be has rendered in ihe commercial life cf Canada, he was entitled to some signal mark of honor. Tbe Grand Trunk system ia the oldest railway system in the Dominion, and was proving of incalculable benefit to the country when other enter- prises, of which the public has good reaion to have some knowledge, were not even dreamed of. Iu the successful building up of the Grand Trunk Kailway system no one has taken a more active part than Mr. Joseph Ilickson. He has been the heart and soul of the company, and by his sagacity and farsightedness ihe Grand Trunk has reached a position second to none on ihe continent of America. Mr Ilickson has for years led a quiet, on- ostentatious life, attending to his multifsrious and trying railway dntiet with the regnlsrity of clockwork, and has cot sought public notior. Ihe honor o[ knighthood will thus bo all ths more appreciated in that it has been un- sought and cornea as the will-merited reward of long and distinguished services in the railway and commercial life of Canada. The news was received at tbe general offices of the company the utmost enthusiasm. here to-day with Mr. Hiokton has always been popular with the official* and employees of the company, aud tbe knowledge of the honor conferred upon their ohief has been received as almost a per- sonal pleasure. Mr. llioksou'a distinguished career from 1M2, Ibe year he came to Canada, up to the present, is too familiar to our readers 'to require any extended notice here, bis life fur the past twenty- eight years bas been ths history of ths Orand Trunk Railway Company, to which he has devoted himself with untiring devo- tion and ability. Ibe company, in its on- ward march, has bad what seemed almost nnsnrmouutabla obstacles lo overcome, but through them all Mr. Ilicksou'* sagacity, experience, and tenacity of purpose have carried them successfully. Thousands throughout Ihe Dominion will join with Mr. liickson's personal friend* and ad- mirers m wishing long life and prosperity to bir Joseph Iliokson. A HA8TAKD-1 UBVKMOK.
