Already murmurs of discontent and dis- satisfaction are heard at the course pursued by Mr. Parnell. The disclosures made voluntarily by the Irish leader and those forced by Mr. Forster have had a very bad effect. and a truce will not be tolerated by the man: of people engaged in the agitation. The feeling gains ground that Mr. Parnell‘s opportunity to distin- guish himself is slowly slipping away. The people are not in favor of any compromise with the Government which meanscwom. plete paciflcation. The revolutionary organization, which is a very large body both in Ireland and England, wants all it can get for Ireland. Every favorable ‘ measure proposed and adopted is ac~ ceptable. but " more" is the cry, and more will be demanded until Home Rule is granted, then many will insist on com. plete separation from Englandâ€"in fact, Irish independence and a republican form of government. Mr. Parnell is not a mem- ber of the Irish revolutionary organization. It was not and is not politic that he should be, but the opinion of the Nationalists is that if he would continue to be the Irish leader he must push forward without look- ing back, and without compromise or agree- ment that contemplates a cessation of the Nationalist movement. The disclosures already made concerning what, to some minds. appears flirtation with Mr. Glad- stone are disliked, and excite distrust. A London eablegram says: Mr. G. O. Trevolyan.the new Irish Secretary. took his seat on Wednesday night, and was warm] received by the Liberal benches. The ome Rulers preserved a marked silence. Later on he rose todefend the new Coercion Act. which in his preamble he declared would not be used against any constitutional effort to alter existing insti- tutions. This announcement was received with ironical cheers by some of the Irish members. In defending and explaining the details of the measure he adopted Mr. Forster‘s method. producing a decidedly unfavorable impression on those Irish members who had looked for a more sympathetic attitude. Mr. Trevelyan‘s A Dublin special says: Evictions of ten- ants for non-pa) ment of rent have been resumed in many parts of Ireland. The events of the past two weeks have wholly changed the surface current of feeling among the people, and the temperature be- comes hot or cold according as blows the wind from the House of Commons. The sadness and astonishment following the as- sassinations of the Irish secretaries had the effect of stopping for a time the work of agitation, and little of bluster was heard for several days. Taking advan- tage of the situation, the process-ser- vers again put their legal papers in order and prepared to oust tenants in arrears. In county Galway alone three hundred poor tenant farmers have been‘ driven from their little holdings inside of a week, and the process-server and constable are still doing their work as rapidly as they can, while the national organizations are yet in dread of making any overt opposi- tion. As the charge of participating in or having cognizance of the Phoenix Park murders is inammntly refuted by the Nationalists‘ organization as such, and the crime, even 11 committed by hot-headed revolutionists. is attributed to individuals, the measures of repression proposed in Par. liament are creating a revulsion of feeling throughout the country. There wase desire and hope that the murderers might be brought to justice, but now the growing feeling is that Parliament is determined to believe, no matter what happens, that there are no good traits or tender feelingsin Irish- men, and means to push oppression and coercion to extremities. The result is that the fire of revolutionary sentiment which had been permitted to smoulder has been raked up by the action of the Commons, and the Repression Bill recently thrust upon _the people has_rekindled the fire. In the House of Commons today, on the motion for the second reading of the Re- pression Bill, the Speaker announced that the only paragraph of Mr. O’Donnell's amendment in order was that declaring the Bills. fatal obstacle to good overnment and tranquility. Mr. O'Donnel denounced the Bill. Col. Thurst, Liberal member for county Cork, supported the Repression Bill. He condemned the cowards who issued the " no rent" manifesto. and did not protest against the murders committed in support of it. Mr. Trev velyan called attention to the failure of justice in Ireland, and declared that the new Bill would facilitate witnesses. The Government would be slow to use their power regarding public meetings, and where ‘ meetings were held they would regard less ‘ the utterances than the evident intention of what was enunciated. He defended the provisions of the Bill against the publica. tion of seditious articles. The Government had reason to think that in their efiorts to suppress outrage they would have the assistance of those who had become tired of the terrorism to which they had been so long subjected. Mr. Dillon said the Bill would have no other effect than to provoke secret organizations. When the measure expired the League would rise again, and Parliament would have its work to do over again. In consequence of the suspected defec- tion of Mr. Parnell Irom the extremists a. movement is afoot to demand, on behalf of the American subscribers, the publication of the Land League accounts for the last two years.

Dr. \Vilson's Pulmonary Cherry Balsam has succeeded in gaining popularity because it has been successful in 'accomplishing wonderful oures. Although discovered many years ago its reputation long was merely a local one until its merits gained for it a large demand. This grew so rapidly that there was some difficulty for a time in satisfying it. Each bottle sold became an advertisement in itself until now Dr. Wilson’s Pulmonary Cherry Balsam is as familiar as household words. Few but are subject to affections of the respiratory organs. If the early symptoms are neglected the complaint is aggravated. 1 Then the disease becomes firm rooted ‘ causing inexpressible torture to the patient and anxiety and distress to friends. It is then. if it has probably been neglected. that Dr. Wilson’s Pulmonary Cherry Balsam becomes a friend in need and deed. At Victoria University this week the degree of “ LL.

Dr. Burrows. in writing of Dr. Dow’s Sturgeon Oil Liniment, says: ”I have practiced medicine in this country for ‘several years, and having observed the good sflects of Dr. Dow’s Sturgeon Oil Liniment, I cheertully recommend it as the best in use.” Physicians are the more willing to recommend this liniment from the fact that Dr. Dow is awidely-known physician of New Brunswick; but this alone would not cause his remedy to be so generally used. The real cause of its suc- cess is in its properties for curing severe pains of almost every kind. Rheumatism, erysipelas, sciatica and lumbago are consi- dered amongst the most painful and stubborn diseases, but they all yield to it. And before it, cramps, chilblains and such like troubles almost appear to vanish as if by magic.

General Meig's, of the War Department. Washing- ton, in an excellent letter. to the New York Herald, a few days ago, makes use of the following language: “ Iron is not tire-proof. It is in fact a combustible, and with heat enough not only bends and yields, but actually burns up. It resists a moderate heat, and when partly covered by brick arches, exposing only the lower edge. It will stand for some time. But in such fires as break out in the great manufactories and warehouses in London, New York, Chicago and I’hila- delphia, where large quantities of in$am- mable goods are piled beneath cei ings supported on rolled iron beams they yield, and, in falling, ruin all floors below. If protected by thick ‘plaster upon wire cloth or netting, or by tiles so molded as to cover the lower side of the lower flange, they will stand longer; but even then I doubt their safety in great fires. Cast and wrought iron in the form of story posts or plillars also quickly yields to the heat oft see great and fierce conflagrations. No stone, unless of horizontal section cover- ing more floor space than can be ordinarily spared, will safely resist these fires, and when iron or stone yields it yields suddenly and disastrously. A more unsafe staircase than one of slate upon wrought iron beams can hardly be made. Slate explodes under a moderate heat like granite, but with greater violence. I have seen the occupants of a new log hut in Lookout Valley driven out of it by the flying slate of the walls of its chimney and open fireplace. Brick is the only really fire-proof material available at reasonable commercial cost, and it should be used in masses of considerable thick- ‘ness to be safe. Light square pillars will not stand. Piers of some thickness and of considerable horizontal length will long re- sist fire. The safest story postâ€"i. e., a post supporting a floor at reasonable costâ€"â€" is one of some hard and not resinous tim- ber. Posts of oak, of fourteen inches square, will stand safely through almost any fire, until the powerfulf toe and means of our city fire departments are able to quench the fire. If wrapped with wire netting. covered afterwards with plaster, they will suffer still less: but the naked wooden post will remain cool and strong in its centre for hours, and the fire will notfor a long time char it to a depth sufficient to much injure its strengthâ€"The‘Buildcr. “ Bradstreet" on the Trade Sllnnllon.

I A Halifax (N. S.) despatoh says: A telegram from North Sydney, 0. 13., this ‘evening says the operator at Meat Cove reports having just returned from the Mountain outlook and seen far off between St. Paul’s and Cape Ray two steamers going north,one with two masts, apparently towing a large three-masted ship. He could not make them out very well. but has no doubt it is the Peruvian in tow of the Newfoundland or one of the other relief steamers. They were in clear water, and the operator reports that he could see clear water as far up as the Magdalen Islands. The Magdalen Island stations. report very little ice to the northward. From these reports there may be no doubt of the safety of the Peruvian, and that she will make her way to the St. Lawrence safely in tow of the relief ship. A Montreal telegram says: The Peru. vian’s position causes much uneasiness, but the Allans are of the opinion that she will come out of the pack all right. At present there are no fewer than six vessels on the lookout for her. The latest news today was that H. M. warship Tenedos had been despatohed from Halifax to ten. der assistance. The Aoadian, Newfound- land, Newfield. the gunboat. and the Poly- nesian are in the hunt. The steamship Valetta, which was with the Peruvian for several days, has arrived here, and her captain says that the steamship was all ‘right when he left her. She could have towed her out of her predicament, and would have been glad to do so had he been asked. The Peruvian has over one thousand souls on board, and was ofl Meat Cove. Cape Breton, when heard from last. A telegram from one of the stations below says that there are over one hundred vessels in the ice around the Magdalen Islands and near the Bird Rocks. The captain of the Valetta says there are now three times as much ice in the Gulf as he ever saw before. From Collingwood comes this despatch: The only additional intelligence which has , been received respecting the terrible disas- ter to the Manitoulin is that the fire was supposed to have originated from the explosion of a lamp in the engine-room. The steamer Northern Belle. immediately on her arrival from Algoma Mills yesterday morning, was de- spatched to the scene of the disaster. and until herreturn, which will probably be late today, nothing of a definite character as to the condition of the steamer can be learned.
