A New Enterprise.

\ most singular trial has just been concu-
led in Paris, the accused parties being one
Dousset, merchant, and an interdcted priest
BY the name Of Vidal. The offence for which
they were tried was for establishing an agen-
y in masses said for the repose Of the dead.
In Paris the orders received annually for
these masses number several hundred thous-
md, and the officiating priests can hardly fill
them, and therefore portion of them are
said by the provisional clergy In conse-
quence, the metropolitan priests sometimes
apply to booksellers having frequent dealings
with the country clergy they place in their
hands the orders and the remuneration the
booksellers transmit these TO provincial priests
who send in return signed contracts by which
they bind themselves to say the masses order.
ed. Dousset one of the prisoners, knowing
this custom, opened an agency and offered
through the medium Of circulars to act a,
agent between the persons desiring the masses
said and the provincial clergy, or between
those holding orders and the country priests
Vidal, the other prisoner, acted as clerk t.
Dousset in the business, which prospcred
amazingly for some months. The swindlc
was finally ferreted out by the police, anC
both rogues brought up for trial Both we
convicted Dousset was sentenced to be i'm
prsoned one year and to poya fine of so frame
md Vidal to be imprisoned five years, pay
fine Of 5000 francs, and 10 be under the su
VIGILANCE of the police for five years after tn,
expiration Of his Imprisonment.

Canada is Coming.


The late annexation meeting in Quebec
frightened the loyal editors in Canada almost
out Of their wits. There is something abso.
lutely bumiiating in their piteous pleading
against that " inevitable destiny which the
best of English statesmen have long aniici-
pated and which the boldest of them frank y
admit is about to be accomplished Canada
is surely coming
Commenting on the meeting referred to.
the Toronto GioJe alludes to the Gladstone
ministry as ready to give up the colonies ;
refers to the notice to the British dependency
Of New Zealand, by the Colonial Minister,
that its people must defend themselves from
the Maori sayages, and pay more Of their
own expenses The Globe quotes the late
letter of Earl Granville, in which he hints
that the colonies must help themselves more
and cost the government less and that the
English people are getting tired Of support
lug lot Of colonial oihcc-holdcrs, armies.
and fleets and the Gioje adds that their ar-
peal for aid has been coutemptuously refused.
The Toronto Telegraph declares that Nlessrs
Gladstone, Bright, and Forster are doing
their best to bring about ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
the British empire" The Toronto Leadcr
calls upon the English people " to hurl out OF
power every man who dares proclaim the dis
membermont Of the British empire" The
Montreal Gasete lays the blame on the Lon
don Times for suggesting that the colonie.
are old enough, strong enough, and large
enough, to let 60 their mothers apron strings ;
and then cries out, " But we are told that we
could be Of no use to the mother country, in
case Of war-only a weakness. Leave Eng
land without port or an ally on this side of
the Atlantic, give full course to the enemies
cruisers hence to the coast Of ireland, and
perchance her strength would not be incrcas-
ed. We are the third maritime power on
earth. Add our strength to that of the

AyOndaie Relief Fund.

1t is believed that the fund for the relief
Of the mining sufferers at Avondale will soon
amount to s250,000, and all that will then
remain will be a proper disposition Of the
money Some one proposes in the public
prints to pursue the same plan as that pursued
with similar relief fund in Wales in 1860.
The whole amount of subscription was placed
on interest, and the interest weekly divided
among the widows and orphans, Whenever
one Of the former remarked, she was paid d
bonus, and gave up her claim to the fund all

ance until fully able to maintain themselves.
At the end of four years time three-iourths
Of the widows were married the subscrip.
tons were but slightly diminished, aud the
bulk of them were set aside as permanent
fund for the families of the miners who should
lose their lives. Whatever the plan finally
adopted the fund should not be distributed
among the sufferers except in so far as to re.
lieve their present necessities. Old and ex.
perienced miners themselves should have
something to say about the manner Of distri.
button, being thoroughly acquainted with the
necessities of their class. The American
people have responded literally to this ap.
perl for aid, and it is to be hoped that the
money raised will be dispensed wisely and
prudently.

Conventions Last Week.

The Republicans of Massachusetts held
their State Convention at Worcester on
Wednesday last. The attendance was very
large. The great effort of the convention
seemed to be how not to do anything on the
liquor question, and they succeeded so ADM
rably that they really did nothing credituble
on any other subject. The Springfield Re-
publican says the uttorance of the conven-
ton on matters (other than the liquor ques-

The Power of Prayer.


Mr.. George Muller has just issued his
yearly statement in reference to the Ashle,
Down Orphanages at Bristol, England, and
once more tells his wonderful story of the
power Of faith and good works He has now
erected five buildings, at a cost Of more than
100000 gold. They are of plain but neat
architecture, and will accommodate more than
200O children. Hitherto the total sum that
has been entrusted to Mr.. Muller since the
9TH of March, 1884, is over s2,l5000O.
Children are received at these orphanages
from all parts of the United Kingdom, while
the funds for their support come in from all
parts of the civilized world The expenses
Tor the last three years have been 1867 $40.
Since he began his work, nearly 1900 chill
dren from all parts Of England Scotland and
Ireland have been taught in the various
schools; $4,000 copies of the Bible and New
Testament aud about 10000 smaller portions
of the Holy Scriptures, in various languages,
have been circulated as have also $4,000.
600 Of tracts.

Millburn, The Blind Preacher.

Who that has ever known or read Of this
gifted but unfortunate man, has not followed
him in his journey abroad with INTEREST," He
has just returned to this country after an alb
scnce Of sixteen months 10 Europe, in search
Of sight. Attracted by the fame Of an emf
ncut German, conftssody the first occulist in
the world, Mr.. Millburn groped his way across
the ocean and over the continent, and put
himself into the hands of this great physician.
At first he received but slight encouragement,
yet there was faint hope that an operation
Of great dolicacy might afford at least partial
sight, and this he submitted TO- When the
bandagcs were removed some days after the
operation, he was able to see the fame OF
candle at the distance Of thirty feet from the
eye. But even this power gradual y declined,
and gross darkness again closed in upon him.
But he has not abandoned hope Il is said
to be his purpose, after spending the Winter
here in a leeturing tour, recruiting his ex-
hous,cd finances to return to Berlin, and
make one more, and perhaps dual struggle.
TO secure au answer to that old prayer
" Lord, Tint Imigh reeeire my sight,"
There is something intensely affecting in
these almost desparing efforts Of man, en-
lowel in a remarkable degree with genius,
eloquence and learning, but compelled to
anguish in the gloom Of perpetual darkness.
The worlds Of beauty are all around him,
and he possesses the kcenest relish and most
delicate taste for their enjoyment but to him
they are all hcrmcticaly sealed.
Mr. Mllburn comes home, we learn, with
two new lectures that will Prove attractive
beyond any that he has ever delivered One
&. entitled, What a Blind Man saw in
Paris" and the other " \ Blind Mans Ex-
pcrieuce in Search of Sight" We trust he
will favor our people with at least one Of
these lectures
