At the abovenamed edifce yesterday, after the
Gospel of the high mass, Father McQuaid ascended

which Is taken from Luke xiv 1, II. When Jesus
undertook to cure the man sick Of the dropsy on
the Sabbath day he saw, with that eye which pene
trates the secrets Of all hearts, that the Pharisees
would accuse Him Of breaking the Sabbath.
He condescended to convince them that 1t
was no violation OF the Lords day to perform
miracle in behalf of one Of Gods people. This He
did In a striking manner; for certainly II 1t was
no crime to draw out an ass or an OK from pit on
the Sabbath, how could 1t be wrong to heal man
suffering from q grievous maadys 1t is well
worthy OF remark how Christ deigned to convince
them that He had done no wrong for He did so In
order to show us how careful we should be not to
give scandal to our neigbbors.

ST. LOUIS.

ST. LOUIS, April 1S.-The Coroner held
an inquest to-day on the bodies OF the vic
Tins Of the Oceanus disaster, brought here
BY the Belle ofSt Louis. Geo. Keightly,
first engineer, testified: the Oceanus was
inspected last December at New Orleans,
and was found fully up to the require
ments Of law; the boilers rate at 1877
pounds OF steam, and the inspector set the
valves at that figure, and locked them; the
explosion occurred while crossing the
river from the Missouri shore; struck the
bar when in the middle OF the river; had
been on watch about fifteen minutes; dur
ing that time examined the water twice,
and found the water at 3 in the larboard,
2 in tho starboard, and 9 in tho middle
boiler; the reason there was more water
in the larboard than in the other boilers,
was because the boat listed, caused by
making a turn; think the middle boiler
exploded first; thought the mud drum
had been struck by snag, but now think
the mud drum or some Of its connecting
piples gave way in consequence OF the
boat striking the bar, and that the explo.
sion resulted therefrom; think l was car.
rying 100 pounds Of steam when the ex.
plosion occurred; the boilers and mud
drum were blown out at Cairo; this is
done every change of watches; the boilers
were thoroughly cleaned out at Shreve.
port, and no defect discovered in them.
The counsel closed the argument in the

Canada and the lWashington treaty.

r. OTTAWA, ONT, April 1e.-In the debate
on the address in the Dominion parlia-
mens in reply to speech last night, Sir
Francis Hincks stated in reply to Mr.. Nc
Kenzie, leader of the opposition, who
complained Of the delay In calling. the
house together, that Il was caused by the
differences which had arisen between
Great Britain and the United States with
respect Ito. the treaty iof Washington.
There were two aspects Of 1t to- be con-
sidered-the merits of the treaty itself,
which would have to be dealt with by
parliament, and the question OF the re-
sponsibility of the Canadian government.
II the premier had accepted scat in the
commission only on condition that he
would not be called upon to sign the
treaty unless 1t met,his own approval, it
Is not likely he could have been appointed
TO that position. He contended that il
was an honor and an advantage to Canada
to be represented in that commission.
