RUn,ored Retirement Of Pdpinedu from Pub

Hincks Policy and Clergy Reserves
1t is universally said, and without contradic-
ton, that Papineau, ex-leader Of the insurrec-
lion Of 1887, is about to retire from bis public
career Of about forty years. duration, and. like
the Cincinpatus Of popular orators, retreat to
his country estate Of Petit Nation, on the Otta-
wa, north Of Montreal The life Of this man has
been 20 interviewer with the past history aud
future prospects Of Canada that it is re markable
in many respects, particularly In that be
achieved for himself European reputation.
l myself, when on the other side Of the At.
lantic, shortly after the Canadian revolt, saw
pictures and busts Of Papineau, both In France
and England, when it was morally impossible
to obtain any thing worth calling map OF Ca.
nada in either country; and noticed that the
name Of the insurgent leader was correctly pro-
nounced and eagerly mentioned by people who
were not at all certain which Of the British
colonies the revolt he had instigatcd happened
TO be in. This alone would show him to be no
ordinary man, and think slight historical
sketch may be allowed on his retirement from
the busy arena Of politics.
The name of Papineau does not belong to the
old titled nobility Of France, but is much res
pected in Canada, where the family have long
heen wealthy seigniors, greatly respected by
the French Canadian race, and, indeed, rs pri-
yate persons, By their contemporaries aud fellow
citizens generally. Mr. Papineau's father was
Speaker Of the Assembly Of Lower Canada, and
abighly loyal subject Of the Bri,ish crown; in

ard Arnold, he endangered hls life In suooess

The French journals are literally filled with

siege Of Bomarsund, which, if you have not al
ready received, the same mail that conveys this
viii doubtless bring you. Beyond the Official
dispatches, nothing Of more interesting dcs

de Ia F7otfe, stating that on the fire being re-
opened on the western tower on the morning
of the Nth. to the surprise of the French no
answer was returned, nor any movement made
to indicate anything like com motion within.
The besiegers, on this, ceased firing for quar-

but still with the same result-all was motion

In and took possession, when to their astonish-

Messrs. S. Powell and Harper took the theatre

Mr. Smelling Powell took the theatre In Ne
autumn of 1902, and kept it for four years, prev
ing very fortunate John Bernard commenced
acting here In the seasou Of 1904 In 1906
Mr.. Powell associated Bernard aud Dickson
with him in the management. The Federal
street had t0lerable fortune after this for many
years. until the erection Of the fremont, whish
proved too mach fer the old concern. Many Of
the meet brilliant actors Of the age appeared
there--Cooke, Kean, Fennoll. Cooper Maocea-
dy, j. W. Wallaok, Booth, Forrest and others.
During the twenty years following 1906, there

foolish as we'll as brutal affairs they were
There were various actors ofeminence concerned
in the management of the house during it's last
years ilncr, Clarke, Duff, Finn and Ma
Cowell being Of the number.
The Hay market theatre was demolished in
1928, but its place was taken by the oity thea
tire, as tho auphtheatre at the Washiagtoa Ga.
den was called. "rom and Jerry" was brought
out there originally In Boston, at the close OF
1923, with Finn az Logic and Barrett as Co
rinthisn Tom. There was much good acting st
the City. as there also bad been at the Hay-
market. 1.-The Cataract Of the Gangcs," wnich
wss great affair 10 its day, was brought ost
there.
The idea of having new theatre seems 70
have grown out Of the Kean riota, and was de-
yeloped BY come difficulties which Mr.. PcIby
had with Messs kilner aud FINN, then maaa-
gers OF the Federal street. A company was
formed early in 1897, and subsequently ncor-
rorated "a stockholders Of the fremont tho

"flrst men" of the city. The corner stone OF the
new house was laid on the 4th Of July lsgz.
