Demand for Work or Bread

MONTREAL, Dec. I7.-This forenoon about one
thousand unemployed people, mostly French
Canadians, assembled III front OF the City Hall,
where thoy remained for some time IN IN excited
state but beyond relieving a bread wagon OF q
dozen loaycs 10 rcVrehensib!c acts were com
miiteG. Alderman GTeyicrs spoke t. the crowd,
advising them 70 adjourn unit. three ?. n, when
the Council would be ready 70 give them -onc
answer in response 10 their demand for work or
bread. a majority Of the assemolage then
marched through the street IN q tumultuous
column. At 3 P. n, a disorderly throng Of over
two thousand surrounded the City Hall, and de-
spite the large body Of police, the mob attacked 4
beer-wagon, took the casks and drank the con-
tents. 4 bread wagon was then cleaned out.
Ten minutes later 4 fight took place, and order
was restored with difficulty. The Aldermen
locked up the various Departments, and discussed
the p~ropriety of reading the Riot Act. The
Mayor then addressed the assemblage from q
balcony, and counselled the greatest moderation
on their part; be said violence would only make
the matter worse; that tie Council was to meet
to give their case earnest consideration. He re-
hected on those who wanted to create disorder,
and was interrupted by cries Of " We are suffer
ing, and want food. At 4 quarter TO four the
Council commenced Deliberations. Meanwhile.
several encounters took place between the police
and the excited mob, Chief Penton taking an
active part. Several arrests were made, and
upon the approach of re-iniorcements the crowd
fed in every direction. A number were intoxi-
Gated, and while no doubt q large number of
the laborers present really deserved work, many
simply waited an opportunity to plumber.

SUGAR IN QUEENsLAND.-It is feared that the
Queensland sugar crop will not be as good this
season as usual. "0f the Mackay district, >
says the Brisbane Courier of November 9th,
s. not more than 700 hundred tons of sugar have
come into port from the plantations; and even
making every allowanc for what is in stock on
the various plantations, the total amount of sugar
manufactured at Mackay up to the present date
certainly does not exceed 1000 tons. At the
same date last year upwards Of 1000 tons had
come into the receiving stores, and about $500
tons had been manufactured. The whole yield
for the present year will certainly not exceed
5000 tons, and even that quantity may be dimi-
nished by any unfavorable weather causing a
stoppage in the crushing. This is n great dimi-
mutton from last season, when nearly 5000 tons
of sugar were turned out at Mackay, and q sad
falling off from the estimated yield. which was
confidently calculated here at the beginning of
the year, and before the rust had put in an ap-
pearance, at fully 1000 tons. At the present
prices of sugar, and with the qualities which
most of the planters are turning out, this means
q direct money loss of at least ESQ 900; and it
must be remembered that this large amount is
taken off the profits, as there is very little dimi-
mutton in expense between taking of a full and a
light CROP

THE METHODIST does not heartily indOrse the
great revival movement. "Methodists who attend
the Moody meetings" it says, feel a ceI tain want
and deficiency in them which deserves notice.
There are many conversions. but they seem not to
be attended with the strong convictions that used
to precede our conversions. The explanation may
not altogether explain. but TO us the facts in Brook
Ign seems to confirm a Judgment we have reached
from other observation. The children Of the church
and habitual attendants upon public worship are
in the position Of the Ethiopian under the preach
ing of Philip" The Christian Union on the con-
trary takes a hopefully philosophic view. Men"
it says, " are hearing more about religion than they
have done for q long time, and, as in most other
periods of excitement, the spirit of righteousness
is being more talked of than the forms thereof. In
all these developments there is a lesson which it
seems is plain enough to be read Of all men-the
lesson that the lack of starting is the cause of most
of the inertia of the moral world. and that to start
a great moral movement one needs not so much an
unusual degree of wisdom as of honesty, earnest
ness and persistence."-N. Y. paper.

CHICAGO, Jan. "A Times Washington special
says &" 1t is annOuced that General Grant and
Secretary Bristow have been summoned to testify
in the case OF Babcock at ST. Louis. This was so
unexpected. and indicates SO Enthusiastically the
extent TO which the whisky prosecutions have gone
beyond the expectation of those who originally
began them, that the partisans of the President
are thoroughly alarmed and are striving to throw
legal impediments in the way. AS soon as the
rumor reached the street that the President would
be summoned with Secretary Bristow, it was met
by a counter report that the law did not permit
the President to appear nor authorize a Court to
summon him as a witness. \ diligent scrutiny of
the authorities however. reveals the fact that any
official Of the Government can be summoned.
Babcock's counsel have summoned the President
to testify in his behalf, and it is understood that
General Grant is willing TO do what be can to save
the perilOus fortunes of his Secretary. Why Mr..
BrIstow should be called upon is not known. His
knowledge OF the Whisky Ring is confined simply
to hearing the revelations of inculpated distillers
aud the reports of detectives who have examined
cases in this city, and at the scene Of operations.
1t is surmised that Bristow has been ummon by
the United States Prosecuting Attorney, and that
Grant has been subp9naed on the part of Bah
cocks counsel, although the story as it now stands,
is to the effect that both the President and Secrc-
tary Bristow have been ummOned by the counsel
for Babcock.

Washington has the most confirmed idiot any
where. He is a prominent real-estate agent and
was to have been married on the 18th inst. to the
daughter of a leading and probably the wealthiest
citizen of LOudOn county. Va. Six hundred invi-
tations were issued and a train of Pullman palace
cars engaged to convey the guests from Washing
ton to Leesbnrg. a confectioner from Washington
had made most elaborate preparations to furnish
the marriage feast, but on the 18th it was discov-
cred that the prospective bridegroom had forged
the names OF his own father, who is a highly re-
spected citisen of Washington, and his prospective
father-in-law to notes on which be realised to the
amount of $4,000. The invitations were at once
recalled, and while it is said that the young man
will not be prosecuted for his crime, the match
has been entirely broken off. We get these facts
from a dispatch to the Philadelphia Times. No
names are given.

A New KIND OF CEIING.-Scri6ner'S Monthly
describes enameled ceilings, which would be de
s;rable for kitchens, diaries, refreshment rooms. or
other rooms, where washable ceilings are needed :
A refreshment saloon in London has beeu finished
inside in such q manner as to be readily washed
out with a hose. The floor is paved, the walls are
of majolica, and the ceiling is covered with enam-
eled sheet iron. When it is desired TO clean the
room, the furniture is removed, the hose is laid on.
and the place is simply drenched and flooded till
clean. The ceiling is the novel feature OF the room
To prepare it, large pieces Of sheet iron were
and were then handsomely painted in colors. After
baking to secure the colors, the sheets were affixed
to the beams of the floor overhead. The joints
are made to fit tight, and once in place. the enam-
eled plates will last as long as the building stands.
This style of ceiling is partially f~re-proof. and
saves all the expense, repairs and danger of laths
and plaster.

FRENCH ASSEMBLY PRoRoGUED.-PARIs Dec.
3lst.-ln the Assembly to-day the Permanent
Committee was chosen. According to an agree
ment between the various parties it consists of
thirteen members of the Left, and twelve of the
Right. All the measures remaining to be acted
on, principally Railway bills, were passed almost
without debate. Due d'Audifret Pasquier, Pres
ident of the Assembly, then rose and made a
speech, closing the session. He eloquently re-
capitulated the achievements of the Assembly,
which, having undertaken its trust on the morrow
of q madly-undertaken war and the horrors of
the Commune, had paid the ransom of the coun-
try, thus demonstrating it's credit and vitality.
He continued: "The Assembly has organized
the internal administration, and voted a Consti-
tuition in which individual preferences have been
subordinated to the love of country. That Con-
~stitution is, perhaps, imperfect, but without it
there would be the double peril of despotism and
anarchy. You will confde the Constitution to
the honor of the President and wisdom of the
new Assembly; you may with confidence submit
yourselves to the judgment of the country, for
you restore to it its flag and liberties intact" In
conclusion, he declared the National Assembly
is to meet. The Assembly then separated, the
Deputies of the Left shouting, " Nue Ia Re
Pu6iiquer"
