Lindsay, Dr. Cyrus Edson contributed a paper to the September number of the North American Review on the question, "is Drunkenness Curable ‘2 ” and ends the articlc by reciting an alphabetic rhyme, describing all the stages of alcoholism from the first nip to a drunkard’s grave, which he learned from a patient, a young man of great ability 3 fine moral precept- ions, who was an incurable inebriate. The doctor says that his eyes would stream with tears as he recited the following verses describing his own case and career. It is the most truthful andgmphic picture of the kind that has ever been published:â€" A is for alcohol, death-like its grip ; B for beginner, who takes just, a sip : C for companion, who urges him on ; D for the demon of drink that is born ; E for endeavor he makes to resist : F stands for friends who so loudly insmt ; G for the guilt that he afterwards feels ; H for the horrors that hung at his heelsf 1 his intention to drink not at all ; J stands for jeering. that follows his fall ; K for his knowledge that he is a slave ; L for the liquors his appetite braves ; M for connivial meetings so gay ; N stands for no that he tries hard to say ; O for the orgies that come to pass ; P for the pride that he drowns in his glass ; Q for the quarrels that nightly abound ; R stands for ruin that hnvers around ; S stands for sights that his vision bedim ; T standsfor trembling that seizes his limbs; U for his usefulness sunk in the slums ; V for vagrant he quickiy hecemes_; W for wahting of iife tHat's sOou done ; X for his exit regretted by none ; Youth of his nation, such weakness is Lindsay Dec. 30th, 1887. crlme ; Zealously turn from the tempter in time.

While on the cars, with a thousand miles between me and home, surrounded with( passengers of every casteâ€"statemen, lawyers, salesmen, women and children, I ‘ asked myself, “What should I like to be?” First, I should like to be a man, every inch of me, inside and out; a real, true man. Then I should like to be a good man, that is. a genuine christian man, with never an set or word or thought in- consistent with christian character. Too, I should like to be an earnest, busy man. one whose moments are used to advantage in some way for good. I’d like to be a “round” man, not one-sided or narrow, but able to size up with natures of differ- ent mould. With this I would want a heap of common-sense, a goodly measure of grit, and lots of pluckâ€"courage it may be is a. better word. I’d like to be a man with power never to swerve from my aim in life. I’d like to be a man whom child- ren would instinctively love, one who would get the “God bless,” from the aged. Then I’d like to be a poor man aIWays, it brings such dependence upon God and keeps one in sympathy with the people who received Christ gladly. As a husband and father I'd like to be a pattern for love and government. As a business man I’d like tc make my word better than my bond, my dealings like Job’s, my custumers my debtors. As a. christian I'd like to be a big faith man, a. man of prayer and power. As a child of God I’d like to be just like Jesus. THURSDAY. APRIL 21 1892. Che flmatchman.

Dr. McEachran Talks AbOUt the Europ- U ean Market for Horses. T In reference to the hints thrown out :1 by Prof. D. McEachran at the farmers’ 0 meeting on Monday as to the demand n for good horses in England and the ‘t prospects ot further extending our markets to European countries, a re- ‘porter called on the doctor and learned from him that from information ac- quired on the spot and subsequent cor- |vrespondence, there is an almost unlim- =ited demand for horses in Great Bri- -tain. Liverpool and MancheSter alone would take 6,000 to 8,000 a year, and London 10,000, not to mention Glas- gow, Edinburgh and other cities. They must, however, be well selected, sound and have good action, or they would lose money. Draught horses of seven- teen hands and 1,600 to 1,900 pounds weight, are always in demand at £60 to £100. Of these only a few in the meantime are procurable in Canada Van horses (“Winners”) are in large [demand They are about sixteen hands, short backed, stout, short legs, good feet and good movers. "l‘heir price is £40 to £50. Carriage horses, well matched, 16 to 17 hands, 6 years old, and with good action, are iu good , demand at from £55 to £85 each. * Hunters and hacks are in moderate demand at prices waryingaccording to individual merit. By correspondence with Viceâ€"Counsel Van Brussal, on l behalf of the Imperial Belgian Govern- ment, Dr. McEachran is led to believe : that the prospects of Opening up a trade With Belgium-for cavalry horses are good, and that that Government has the matter under serious consideration. One thing, however, is certain, that, with few exceptions, sufficient Care has not :zeen taken in selecting them for exportation; 1___‘n__lAâ€"JAmH ‘It should beclearly understood thatl any thing in the shape of a hors: will‘ not sell in England, but almost any really good, well selected, sound and good-actioned horse will pay well, ow- ing to present 'deIt‘SSt‘d prices in this country. Both importers and exporters arr prone to err in this matter. They imagine that. if they can buy a. horse cheap m- must make most money; such is not the caselcheap horses sell better here. Dr. McEachian said he could give numerous instances of cl‘eap in- terior horses being imported both to Canada and the United States, the im- porter imagimng that the supposed general ignorance of gullaoility of the agricultuaal classes would favor their making money out of such scrahs, for- getting that the agricultural cl'lsses are ;in Canadaâ€"men of education and intelligence, who, if they require advice seek for it where it is to be obtained. The reputation of certain breeds of horses has been known to be ruined by such practices; breeds possessing many excellencies, and from which good selections can‘be made if properly gone about, and price enough paid for them and soundness fully appreciated. '1 here‘ore, he said, let the horse trade from Canada across the Atlantic, which has such great capabilities of develop- ment, be conducted on the lines that none but the very best will pay to ship, and that unsound, long-hack. leggy weeds will surely rum the ship- per, as they will not sell at cost price.

OTTAWA, April .10.â€"â€"Those critics of the Government who have been finding fault because more vigorous action was not taken in prosecution of the firm of Larkin, Connolly Co., in connection with the Esquimalt Craving dock and other conâ€" tracts, and those Grit editors and orators who have been writing and speaking that the prosecutions against Mr. McGreevy, the Connollys and others would be aban- doned, will find their prognostications rather deranged by the fact that suit has been entered in the Exchequer Court of Canada against Patrick Lnrkin, Nicholas K. Connolly, Michael Connolly, ()wen E. Murphy and Robert McGreevy for the recovery of $570,064.51 for moneys imfi properly obtained in connection with con- tracts. There are eight distinct charges.

He gave his name as Hoggbin. and said he a as a carpenter. An inquest was held last evening and, from the medical ev1dence given as the result of a careful post mortem examination, the following verdict was rendered at an early hour this morning :â€"â€"That the deceased came to his death from concussion of the brain caused by violent contact with a hard, smooth. slightly rounded surface; but whether such injury was inflicted by a weapon in the hands 0 some person or by a fall, the jury cannot decide from the evidence so far obtained.

OWEN MCGARVEY Son. 1849-1853 Notre Dame Street. MONTREAL- Everything in the furniture line is to be found there, from atwenty- five cent chair to a fifteen hundred dollar bedroom set, and prices to suit everyone. No one need despair; the millionnaire can furnish his house from top to bottom with the finest and most costly, and his junior clerk can fill his little tenement with useful and pretty articles at prices to suit his more limited means. On enteringr the well-known and extensive warerooms on N Dame street, the visitor is stiuck bv the excellent display of Library Tables, Writing Desks‘ and Easy and Combination Chairs of all descriptions. On reaching the second floor a beautiful assortment of Sideboards, Dining Tables, Hal] Stands, Bookcases, Wardrobes, PABLOB FURNITURE meets the eye, such as 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 piece parlor suites. Odd piece suites, gilt chairs, corner chairs, ottomans, divans, teteâ€"a-tetes, piano and foot-stools in plushes, brocatclles and silk damasks of all the newest and latest shades; also a full line of fancy centre, card and worktables, statuette-stands, ladies writing: desks, music stands and easels. On the third floor a fine :election of Rocking, Easy and Reclining Chairs claims particular att(‘.1tl0n. The celebrated bent wood furni- ture imported from Vienna, A ustria, and of which the Messrs. McGar- vey make a specialty, also occupies a prominent position on this floor. On the fourth floor bedroom sets in profusion are to be found frcm the cheap ash wood to the elegantly carved set valued at fifteen hun- dred dollars. Brass and iron furniture, of which they have just receiv- ed a very large consignment from Birmingham, England. is an especial- ly noticeal‘le feature; handsome solid brass bedsteads and pretty cots for children from $30 up to $ 12 5â€"there they are of the newest designs: neat iron bedsteads as low as $5, and rising to much higher figures, can also be found here. A great advantage in this house is that the price of every piece of lurniture and article is marked in plain figures, but owing to the widening of Notre Dame street west, which will necessi- tate their removal next spring, they are now offering special induce- ments in the way of Discounts off the marked prices. The entire 65- tablishment is a model one, neatness and order prevailing everywhere; all available space is taken up to accommodate the enormous stock which they carry, and from which purchasers can select at their liberty.
