It was all but night al- ready in the forest roads when I start-' e.d and quite night as I emerged fro out of the shelter of the mountains into the flat country. Janos . sat on the; box and my chasseurs hung on behind.‘ : and my four horses kept up a splendid i pace upon the 'ml- ground. I had And the wedding! Ah! that was a wgdding to be; proudiof! God knows all the extravagance I planned! It makes me sick now to think back on it! Schultz the factor, my chief huntsman and the highest among my people were to head torchlight processions of their particular subordinates at stated places many: the avenue that led upwards to the house. There was to be feasting arr! music in the courtyard. Flowers “‘5‘.“ to be strewn from the very thres- hold or her new home to the door or my Princess‘s bridal chamber. But in the vain arrogance of my de- iight I ordered every detail of the re- ceplion which was to greet us, and which i was determined should be mag- nificent enough to make up for the en- forced hole-and-comer secrecy of the marriage ceremony. For safety's sake I made the announce- ment of my approaching marria’geJo the household as late in the day as pos- siehl. and though sorely tempted to be- trm the exalted rank of the future mis- "05% to the astonished major-dome to whom Janos. with his usual tmperturba- bilily. interpreted my commands, I ze- truined with a sense that the impression created would only after all be height- ened if the disclosure were withheld till the actual aparttion of the newly-mane \v ire. The village of Wilhelmsdhal is quite an hour‘s drive (even at“ the pace of my good horses) along the downhill road which leads lrom my uplifted mansion into the valley land; it takes two hours for the return way. But it was the dawn of my wedding- day. and I went to my bedâ€"stumbling over old Janos. who sat, the faithful dag! asleep on the thresholdâ€"to dream of my wedding . . . a wedding with royal pompy to the mate of trumpets and the acclamatlons of a multitude: The night was well worn when I had finished. and the bottle of potent Bur- gundy was nearly out. too. Then. mean- ing to rise and withdraw. I fell asleep in my chair. It was grey dawn before I awoke. and l was cold as I stretched myself and staggered to my feet.

I slipped the ring (it had been my aunt’s). with a passing wonder that it should prove so much too large. upon the slender finger, that hardly protruded from a fall of envelop- ing lace. __ __--.r.-. She stood beside me, and as the “ords were spoken i thought no more of the mean surroundings. of the eviI omens, of the responsibilities and con- s«:quences of fly act. It was nothing to H. _-... u._n Here my reflections were broken in upon by that very patter of naked 501% that had been in my thoughts, and a little ragged boy,in a dilapidated surplicc l ran around the sanctuary from some back door. and fell to lighting the pair of [candles on the alter. a proceeding which only seemed once more to heighten the darkness.

But almost immediately a fresh cla- mor of opening doors, and a light. sedate footfall. struck my ear, and all doubt and dismay disappeared like magic.

A despatch from Toronto says: Large numbers of veterans are applying to the Government for the right to exchange their certificates for land grants for a cash payment of $50. Under the legis- lation of last session, old soldiers who have received the scrip and have not lo- cated their property may commute their grant for~that sum of money. It looked at. first as if few were going to avail themselves of this opportunity, but now the requests are coming in readily. As soon as the. applications are certified by the military land grants branch of the Department of Lands, Forests and Mines. the treasury issues cheques with- out delay. [ More Valuable Finds Reported in New Ontario. A Cobalt despatch says: A rich vein 0! calcite, carrying galena silver and copper, has been found on lot five, of the township of Ingram, some four miles northeast of Tomstown, in the Wendigo Lake district. The vein aver- ages five inches in width, and has been traced 150 yards in length. Several smaller leads run into it. This find has peen verified. Another very rich find comes from the township of Bucke, where an assay of silver shows over 244000 ounces to the ton. On the Foster property one of the best and largest veins in the district has just been dis: covered and opened up. It is several inches in width, and is immensely rich in silver. and the bishop conjoinUy handed him the sceptre. After a prayer offered by the bishop, the latter and Interior Min- ister Arctander conjointly handed the King the orb, and lgter War Minister Olsson and the bishop handed the sword of State to his Majesty. These cere- monies were tollowed by the benedic- tlon. An Imposing Ceremony in the Old Norse Cathedral. A Trondhjem despatch says: King Haakon. son of the present King of Denmark. and Queen Maud, daughter of King Edward, were on Friday crown- ed King and Queen of Norway, in the cathedral here. The coronation cere- monies, which were very elaborate. were conducted by the Bishop of Trondhjem. assisted by the leading Cabinet Ministers and ChieI'Justice cf the Supreme Court. After the anoint- ment of His Majesty by the bishop, the latter and Prime Minister Michelsen; cojointiy placed the crown on his head. after which Foreign Minister Loveland the marks on the clothing had been re- moved by being cut out. ,In the vest pocket was a New York pawmbroker's ticket for a watch dated June 20.

DOMINION PARLIAMENT SOME INTERESTING ITEMS. Monctteville wharf, on A Toronto despateh says: Some years ago the 'tamnrack trees in the northern portions of the province as far north as Hudson's Bay, and including Algonquin Park, assumed every appearance of be- ing dead. It was thought that they had been attacked by the sow-fly and de- stroyed. This season they seem to be reviving. Reports from fire-rangers in the north‘say that the trees are com. mencing to sprout and grow again. Trees in Northern Ontario Thought to be Dead, Arc Reviving; A despatch from Nicotet, Que.. says: Fire broke out in the cathedral on Thursday night, utterly destroying the magnificent structure, together with the old parish church. Convent of the Sis- ters of Assumption and the residence of Monsiegneur Suzor, late Bishop of Nicolet. The loss is estimated at about $400,000, on which there was partial in- surance. Three hundred Sisters were in the convent when the fire broke out, but they had time to escape, not, however, before many had fainted and some of the older ones had become hysterical. Fortunately, the children who go there to study had returned to their homes for holidays. it is not known how the fire originated. The local fire brigade was quite overpowered. but assistance came from St. Hyacinthe. Magnificent Structure at Nicolcl. Que.. a Prey Io Flames. Hamilton’s Central Presbyterian Badly Damaged. A Hamilton despatch says: Central Church. the leading Presbyterian church here. situated at Jackson and MeNab streets, was gutted by fire early on Wednesday morning. The fire, which was supposed to have been caused by electric wires. broke out shortly before 1 o'clock. There was some delay in giving the alarm, and when the fire- men arrived they had work cut out for them. The smoke was so dense that it was hard to locate the fire. but after water was poured into the building for some time flames burst out of the front.“ and side windows. which were all blown out. The firemen prevented the flames1 from spreading to the Sunday school, but the inside was gutted. The loss will be heavy. The church was built many years ago. and was one of the_hend- somest tn the city. having been improvedl several years ago. A short time since a fine new organ was installed. Rev. Dr. Lyle is the pastor. Among the immigrants who will ar- rive in Winnipeg on Saturday will be thirty-two fishermen from Stornoway, of the island of Lewis, which belongs to the Hebrides group. The immigration authorities are puzzled where to place the fishermen from the faraway islands as they know nothing of farming. The usual balch of railway subsidies was brought down by the Minister of Railways. They call for subsidies of $3,200 per mile up to a cost of 5:15.000 per mile for construction. and above that sum 50 per cent. of the cos. of con- struction up to a maximum of $6.400 per mile. There are 43 lines to be sub- sidized. They cover a length of 2.885 miles and on the basis of the minimum subsidy of $3,200 per mile represent a total of $9,320,000. including a lump subsidy to the Brockville. Weslport and Sault Sic. Marie Railway: Mr. Alcorn’s efforts to bring the ex- press companies under the jurisdiction of the Railway Committee promise to be successful. His bill was repeuteedly challenged in the House as being-un- constitutional, and it was decided to get the opinion of the Minister of Justice upon the subject. Mr. Aylesworth evi- dently agreed with Mr. Alcorn. as Mr. Emmerson has given notice of a series oi" amendments to the Railway Act practically embodying Mr. Alcorn‘s bill. PROPRIETARY MEDICINE BILL. Dr. Roddick stated to the Drug Com- mittee that a good many deaths of in- fants were due indirectly to soothing syrups. Sometimes it killed it directly. The committee finished taking evidence and will report a hill lo the House. A preliminary draft bill was submitted from he Inland Revenue Department. Henry Waiters, druggist. of Ottawa, said that 75 per cent. to 90 per cent. of the proprietary medicines were harm- less and useless.

MORALE OF THE ENTIRE ARMY SHAKEN. That the morale of the whole army is being shaken by the revolutionary propaganda is proved by the continual extension of the rebellious outbreaks among the troops. it appears to be con- firmed that the Boltschoit regiment at Ryazan has driven out its officers and burned the armory. Another report says the soldiers deliberately attacked the omcers' club at Ryazan, killing one om- cer and wounding two others. A panic prevails in the town. Disatfection in the army steadily in- creases. 'l‘wo garrison artillery batta- lions at Sebastopol mutinied. but were disarmed. Soldiers at Krasnoyarsk wounded a colonel and killed a captain. Both had sabred men while in a state (I intoxication. At Riazan the mutineers killed nobody. because they aimed high. The mutiny is reported over. all the men's demands having been granted. A strike of the (lockers at Rybensk serious- ly interferes with the grain trade. DETAILS OF MUTINY. The Associated Press cables from St. Petersburgzâ€"A serious mutiny. which for a time threatened to place the for- tress of Sebastopol in possession of the1 mutineers was suppressed yesterday.‘ according to a special despaich to The Novoe Vremya. The mutiny was started by a battalion of fortress artillery which declined to obey orders, whereupon the men were promptly disarmed. The two battalions then mutinied and took pos- session of the guns in the north shore batteries, but on the appearance of several loyal regiments of infantry the mutineers abandoned the idea of fight- ing and returned to their barracks. The Times' correspondent at St. Petersburg cables as follows :â€"Schcpkin has returned from Bialystok with evi- dence that minor police omcials inbu- gated and organized the massacres, higher officials observing a benevolent neutrality.

A despatcb from Oxbow, Sask., says: Vincent Magyar, the Hungarian farm laborer, who shot his employer, Donald Campbell, at l’robisher last March, was on Thursday found guilty of murder and sentenced to hang in Regina September 6. The crime was peculiarly brutal. Magyar was of a sullen disposition, and wished to leave Campbell, who refused to give him his discharge, owing to the approach of seeding. Baulked in his desire, the inc censed foreigner walked into the house, got a shotgun and fatally wounded Campbell, who was one of the best. known farmers in that district. The murderer put in a plea that he acted in self-defence, stating that Campbell had attacked him with a fork. When the sentence was pronounced the prisoner seemingly was very little affected, only trembling slightly.

The police and military were fully armed. apparently prepared tor a conflict. Though there were no visible enemies. the Jews became alarmed and sought. hiding places. On Thursday processions of Orthodox Russians and Catholics to the churches began and were apparently passing without inci- rdent. Later an uproar began at one part of the processions, and the rumor spread that the Jews had thrown a bomb into the crowd and were tearing a Russian priest to pieces.
