AWFUL CosrLAoRATIoN-THE VILLAGE OF BOUCHER
VILE IN AsHEs--h is our melancholy duty to record
Of the most disastrous events which Providence
fit sometimes to direct against the works of man. The
village of Boucherve which stands about ten miles be-
low Montreal on the opposite side Of the river and con-
tanned population Of thousand souls is longer
in existence Yesterday morning the bright sun rose upon
its happy dwellings, and its cheerful looking spires at
night he set, but the wretched inhabitants wept in
gush over the ashes Of their homes.
The village built along the right bank of the st.
Lawrence froang the river for about mile and four
principal streets back to the There might have
been about two hundred houses, most Of which Of
stone, and many OF them two stories high. With barns
stables and other ouhouses formed collection
of buildings and had many wealthy families among its
Inhabitants.
BY six O'Clock the most of the village was in flames;
but the Church and the Priests residence yet among
others untouched and for time hoped that az
they stood on the bank of the river the strong ind
would carry the flames from them But slight slant in
the breeze brought either flame embers to the roof Of
the Church, and caught
We rather OF opinion that good deal must have
been saved out of the church, for many people could be
seen carrying articles from 1t towards the river
Now what is 10 be done2 The first thing would
most respectfully suggest might be- for the cashiers Of
val of their directors to advance f25 EACH to purchase
bread for the miserable creatures who have thus been
made beggars. Bread they must have to-day There Ia
time to 60 round for subscriptions; women and chill
dren who yesterday ate comfortable dinner in COM
Portable home must feel the pangs Of hunger before
boat be despatched to them, all the spare
loaves of all the bakers csllected wont do to wait
to talk the poor creatures must be fed and in order
to feed them money must be got at once The public
will repay it, the public must repay it, II the directors dc
not sanction it.
We have purpossly omitted pourraying the agonised
feelings Of the wretched villagers, would have been
improper for to state simply from imag naon the anx-
iey of fathers and mothers they gazed OH
the houses of their neighbors falling prey to
the flames and still less harrew the feelings Of
readers with supposed description Of the awful agony
of suffering with which the parents must have seen the
inuriate monster swallowing their The dread
full truth will exceed in horror, all that mere fancy
could paint.

vernment is despotism, if in few an oil
garchy, if in greater number an arstocracy.
As in the United States, the legal profession
possess them almost exclusively; few physi-
Clans, clergymen, merchants, or farmers, be-
ing in office, or in the legislative halls; our
government is nothing more than an aristoc-
racy OF lawyers. 1t IS true that the people
have perfect freedom to select what indivi-
dual they please for their rulers, but they
are obliged to select them from the legal
class only with very few exceptions) be-
cause the technical language in which the
laws are expressed is so obscure that none
but lawyers are qualified to employ OF ex-
pound it properly. This immunity of the
legal profession is SO settled, that men ambi-
tious Of political distinction or power never
think of entering any other, and as matter
of course adopt hat, even if they do not re-
quire profession for subsistence.
The most obvious evils of this state of
things are,he needless multiplicityand unin-
tellgibllity of our laws, their continual fuc-
tuation, and the controversies, suits, and ex-
penses arising from the use of language
which the mass cannot understand. Mr..

CAPITAL, AND T.AROR

This subject has long engrossed the al
ten!on of certain class of writer's, called
political economists, and the object of the
majority among them has been to show,
not how the greatest degree Of human hap
piness can be most extensively diffused,
but how the majority of human beings used
as money making machines, can contribute
most efectualIy TO national power and glo-
rv. Most of them belong 10 the English
school,; and those of American . n ton,
have generally followed this school very
faithfully in principles, though dissenting
from it in details. We must remember
that the English school is founded upon
the present condition of English society.
and must not suppose that this condition of
society has resulted from any original con-
formty 10 the maxims Of the school. So
ciety has not assumed this condition, be-
cause its governors were educated in this
school, and directed society according to
lis precepts. Society was impeled to this
condition by other causes, and the school
has been founded TO justify and perpetual
this condition. The school did not make
the'rulers; the rulers have made the school,;
The present condition Of England origina-
ted in The feudai sysiem-that system
which divided the land among few, the
owners of both soil and produce, and left
its cultivation TO the many, upon rewards
prescribed by the owners. Upon this sys-
tenn Of aristocracy has been founded and
regulated every department of business in
that country Tho feudal lord owned
land produce: and the cul,iya,or, the pro-
ducer, the creator of This produce. produced

10 be fed, clothed, lodged, and instructed in
in modes far below the condition Of the
owner. Upon this system Of ownership

ages; the merchant and the snip owner be-

OLE BULL's EXTRAORDINARY FIDDLE

OLE BULL's EXTRAORDINARY FIDDLE
The n. Y. Herald speaks thus of the in
struments from which Ole Bull extracts
such miraculously musical sounds. The
instrument is a curious musical relic in it,
self. During the early part of the 10Th
century violin was made by the fam ed
Gasparo Lisardo, for Cardinal A!dobandini.
in his best stvle;the head was designed and
carved in The most beautiful manner bv
Benvenuio Ce.lini, with mvihic figures
representing the musical goddess and her
attendants; the fret-board and sounding
bolrd are beautiful inlaid 10 mosaic OF pearl
and ebony. This instrument was sold by
the heirs OF the Cardinal TO a person who
Carried il to Inspruih, and at the taking that
city by Inc French army in 1909, it be-
came part OF the booty Of dragoon. by
whom it was sold to Faaatico PER Ia
msica. in Vienna, who could not be induce
10 part with il though incredible sums had
been offered for ii. Chevalier Bull, being
some few years ago in Vienna, wished 10
purchase it, but was rs unsuccessful rs
others had been; finally, however, its
possessor promised that If he would give
fifteen concerts in that city, he should have
the pre- empiion of the violin at his death.
The Chevalier complied with his wishes,
and the proprietor dying soon after, be-
eueafhed the instrument TO him 10 whom il
should belong. On this violin the primer
pal part of the Saturday nights entertain
ments were executed.
