At last 1‘ 2 little eufierer was relieved lrom its misery. 1 and was placed at rest and forever in the quiet churchyard. This relieved the mother of a great encumbrance, of which she was not slow to take advantage. She once more became “independent," and when one day her mietresa handed her a pair of shoes and requested her to brush them, she threw them back at her With a “ do them yourself." She wormed herself I into the good graces of her mistress to such lan extent that she commenced giving her .music lessons. Lillian all this time was a constant attendant at the religious services in the Haven. But her inordinate pride became so unbearable that about nine or ten months ago she was discharged from her situation. Another place was found for her, but she could not get along there either. She wrote a most impertinent note to her mistress. and was accordingly sent back to the Haven. Repentance and an apology followed. and she was taken back, only to be discharged, however, a second time. Leishman also worked for a family in Rosedale, where her conduct was not what it should have been. Again there was another repentance, baptised as usual in tears, another forgiveness, and a promise to do better, only, however, to be forgotten a few days later.

BBB HISTORY AFTER LEAVING TORONTO is known. She went to Brantford, where she was employed as head laundresa in the Any law for pthe Blind. Then she went to Rev. F. R. Beattie'a, and now is staying with Mr. William Galbraith, 31 Maitland street, Toronto, he being the father of Mrs. Beattie. who is suing for a separation from her husband. 0n the witness-stand at the Police Court, at Brantford, a couple of days ago, she gave a very detailed account of the ofienoe, which she alleged took place in her room on the nights of the 26th, 27th and 28th of December last. and with which the Rev. Mr. Beattie is charged. 0n the 22nd Jan. nary. or tweutv~flve days after the alleged offence was said to have been committed. she wrote a letter to a lady interested in the Haven.

B. 1.. Leishman. Box 50,13rantiord. Bliss heist-an Interviewed. A reporter called upon lilies Lillian Leishman. who is stop ing with Mr. Wil- liam Galbraith On Me t and street. Toronto. At the request of the reporter. he had a conversation with her regarding the state- ments made by the Matron oi the Raven. When she was asked the first question. she said she had been told by her lawyer' not to say anythin: to any person. " especially reporters." Under these circumstances the reporter adopted a round-about mode of procedure by asking her if she was ever in the employ cl hire. Gooderham, Mrs. Orde or Mrs. Jopling. and she replied that she had been at all of these places. and So much. therefore, for her history, and now for ANOTHER SURPBISE. The girl Leishman. arrived in Toronto last night. She was seen by a reporter, but declined to say anything about the case. " I have my hands in his (Mr. Beattie's) hair and I intend to keep them there." was one remark casually dropped by her. The prevailing opinion in Toronto is that it is a case of blackmail. After all the trouble and anxiety to which Rev. Mr. Beattie, of Branttord. has been put by Lilian Leishman, alias Maybee, he has met with adisappointment in the hour. of his anticipated vindication. Lilian folded her tent late on Thursday night and stole away, no one appears to know where. Twenty-four hours beiore that she told a reporter of the Mall that she had her olaws in Mr. Beattie's hair. and intended to hold on. She did hold on until holding on any lon_ger w_ouldha_ve been dangerons to herself. also lived for a time with Mrs. W. E. Doriand‘s family, at No. 71 Bleacher street. She said she was aawainted with Miss Moore. and had written her a letter about the 20th of January. but said nothing about Mr. Beattie in it. The re- porter told her it was said that at one time she was an inmate oi the Haven. and asked her it it was true. She replied that she had visited the Haven. but never lived there. She denied that she was ever at the Burnside Hospital. and admitted that she never was married. but she did not appear to care to speak about the matter. ile the reporter was calling her atten- tion to the report that she became smother shortly after going to the Haven. she spoke out sharply : “ Why don't they look up that skunk'e character? Let them go to Baltimore and find out how many wives he has and the number of children he has running about. I intend to follow that skunk to the end of the world, and when he is in penitentiary I will preach and pray with him as much as he likes." While the ,, re- porter was referring further to her being in the Haven, a footstep was heard at the head of the stairs. and she requested him notto speak so loud. She said she had gained hall the case. and intendedJo press it to the bitter end. In her evide: she said she had lived in Belleville, br . 1., this interview she said she had been '. “ but a very short time. When told that: 3 no people believed it to be a case of blackmail, ehe said she had no doubt of it. As far as she was concerned. she was prepared to have her character blackened in the worst way. and it the newspapers libelled her she would take immediate action against them. She also stated that her proper name was R. L. Leiehman. and when asked what her first name was she said, “ That's my busi- ness.” The “ Box 54. Brantford," referred to by Miss Moore. was simply afriend’s box where she got her letters. 1 13“_---J râ€"'--v r"-"'â€" -_ __ , ~ and Miss Leishman’s remaining in her room with her door unlocked night after night. and neighbors being so close. from whom she could have received assistance and advice if required, her waiting to see a lawyer in Toronto, her roaming disposition and the refusal to account tor three years of her life in Canada. and the manner in which she gives her evidence, it is the general public opinion that this is a clear case of blackmail. and our citizens deeply syrn p.1thize_with Mr. Beattie in his't‘rouble. _____ A- Rev. Dr. Coohrane, who has been watch- ing this trial in the interests of the Presby- tery. arrived in Toronto Friday and was met at the depot by a gentleman who ad- vised him to have a capiaa issued against Miss Leishman, as it was altogether likely she would leave the city on finding that her history in Toronto had been so fully described. Acting on this advice he at once visited a law firm. The capias was issued. Dr. Coobrane had in his possession certain telegrams and letters written by several parties 0! good standing in Toronto, giving most damaging reports as to the an- tecedents of Miss Leiehman. He hoped to bring some of his informants face to face with the girl. in order that she might be identified. but found to his surprise .that she had left the city. ..- s.- N.

In the ring, where the clowns had been per- forming, there was a carpet, and for a little while the children were safe in the centre ct llii‘i; but when the grown up people in their despair began jumping from the dress circle and galleries the whole ring be. came one inextricable mass. in which the children were trampled to death or who cated before the flames reached them. But even this was not the worst.

(From the St. Catharines Journal.) The death of Mrs. Frederick Psflard, wife of Frederick Pafl‘ard, of Niagara, recalls to mind the romantic and interest- ing events which marked the life history of her early years. Mrs. Pafiard was born in the Town of Missolonghi. which is situated on the northern shores of the Gulf . of Patras. twenty-five miles West of Sepanto, in Greece. Missolonghi is chiefly‘ memorable for the two siege: which it underwent during the War 01 Independence in the early part of the present century. In 1822 it was invested by land and sea by the Turks, who. after a siege of two months, were compelled to retire. In 1826 it was again besieged by an overwhelming Ottoman force, and after two months of resistance and suffering its gar. risen. reduced from 5.000 to 3 000 fighting men, out their way through the ranks of the enemy, carrying with them a great number of the women and children. The Turks then entered the town, which was all but totally destroyed. It was in Missolonghi that Lord Byron. a very ardent supporter of Greek independence. died in 1824. Mrs. Paflard was a young child at the time Miseolonghi was destroy- ed, but remembered that her parents were slain and that she was carried out of their house while it was in flames, it having been set on fire by the Turks. Her life was spared by her captor. who made her his slave.

There can no longer be an doubt that the un- common number 0 conversations among the higher orders of the Roman clergy oi the Vatican recently have allbeen the result of much profoundly secret management ex- tending over a year past. and that the re- sult of deliberations which have taken place has been in the main eminently satisfac- any to the Garden‘s and Pope. At the Vatican it is now behaved that the tide of public opinion is turning against infidelity and against that form of Materia'ism preached by the disciples of Darwin and Spencer, and towards the terms at the old faith which admit of as little disputation as possible, and engender doctrines of domestic and public morality. The Roman Church affects to believe that it will he wonderfully invigorated by the accessions s'l over the world in the very near inture as a result of the aileged revuiuwn against Materialism. A most singular thing about such indications as are obtainable is that the Roman Church is building nearly all the new churches in England. All at the ‘royal blood are rapidly gravitating tows rd Romanism because of the deep-rooted con- viction that Protestantism and free thought in Great Britain are too rapidly breeding republicanism. and that the only true friend of caste is Roms. What puzzles the English thinkers on religious subjects just now is that while the Papal Church calculates to profit by accessions from the wealth, nobility and royalty of Great Bri. tain because of their faith in the imperial- ism of Rome, the same Papal Church should at the same time be making large investments in the United States, where most Englishmen believe Re- publicanism is perpetual license. But some Englishmen know that the College of Cardinals at Rome is the best informed body in the world on American affairs, when an American monk. priest, Jesuit. bishop. archbishop or cardinal has a communication for the Vatican of such importance that it is his duty to abandon for a time all his local pursuits and con. neutrons and go in person on a long jour- ney to Rome, that he may say with his tongue what he has carried in his brain right intothe brain and ear of the great .manager, who must know everything ;that can be found out. It is certain that the information car- ;ried to Rome is inside beyond ‘doubt, and with such loyalty as the Ameri- ican Cathlic clergy undoubtedly have ‘towards the Papacy, there is reason to suppose that at Rome the United States is quite accurateiy reported. An unusual number of American Catholic clergymen of ‘prominenee have in turn recently been to the Vatican. Principal among these are Bishop Spaulding. of Illinois. He is known tohave remained a longer time than he had intended to, and at the expressed wish of the Pope. Leo, it is supposed. found much consolation in the discourses he had with the Bishop.

This condition of affairs arises from two causes, first.
