The ropes were quickly manned, and off we went down St. Peter street to the building. When we arrived the wooden porch over the west entrance on McGill street was ablaze. A noisy crowd were there.

M LIGHTNING EXPRESS. Forty years ago to-day (April 25th), Montreal was wild with excitement, for incendiarism had made short work of no important building than the Parlia- ment House, and political fury had in- sulted the Governor-General in an unwar- ranted manner. Upon the site of the present St. Ann’s Market the building raised its not very imposing head. In the upper story the assembled representatives of the people discussed the momentous 0 day and below the indus- trious "liabitant” vended his cabbages and domestic produce, much in the same iner as he does to-day. ‘\ I] I... less questions of th lllllrl" gz-cssivc ma: So far as architecture was concerned the city :zmi country lost little from the zeal of File infuriated patriot, “ who fired the C: radian dome," and they cannot be specially congratulated over the pile which no“ rises in its place.

CALIFORNIA One of the most noted of the art soci- eties of London is the Society of Lady Artists. The members of this institution give an exhibition every year, to which are invited the best critics from all over the world. The pictures exhibited are for the most part landscapes, flowers, portrait studies, and domestic genre scenes. The ladies seem to have more success with water colors and pastels than with oils. A very prominent figure in St. Peters- burg society is Count Sheremetiefl', who belongs to one of the best Russian fami- lies and is at the same time one of the richest members of the Russian aristoc- racy. He is still a young man, and mar- ried to a daughter of Count Heyden, Governor-general of Finland. He is a great lover of music and the drama. He has for several years had a large orchestra always at his disposal, and he is himself a composer of some talent. There is to be a great gathering of the Orleans family at Sheen House on May 30, when the Comte and Comtesse de Paris will celebrate their silver wedding.

The relations had been very strained for several months in consequence of the ' curious manner in which the Comte de Paris had conducted himself in respect of General Boulanger. The Duc d’Orleans, the eldest son of the Comte de Paris, is now on his way home from India, and there is a strong desire in Orleanist circles that he should marry the Princess Clementine, youngest daugh- ter of the King of the Belgians. The absent-mindedness of Byron, the playright, is famous. A new play was running through the dramatist’s head as he was walking along Pall Mall, when a Shopâ€"5th door east of the market. ron, with an air of absent sympathy; “very sorry.” Then he walked on and continu- ed to think about his play. Three weeks later he happened to be in Pall Mall when the same man came up to him and said “More misfortune.” “Eh?” said By- 'absently. “I have just lost my mother,” said the man, lugubriously. “Dear me. said the dramatist, petu- lantly, “you lost your father only a short time ago. What an exceedingly careless man you are!” A gentleman went to the stamp-window of the Post-office in a neighbouring city and called for 100 one-cent stamps, ten- dering in payment 100 one-cent pieces. “Those are not legal tender in any such amounts.” growled the stem clerk. “I refuse to accept them.” “ on do, eh?” answered the gentlemen. “Well, give me one stamp.” at the same time shoving out a cent.
