DRESS AND The DOCTORS.

Sir Henry Thompson, who stands at the
head of the surgical profession in London,
is said to take peremptory tone with his
patients, and to refuse to attend such as
will not, for period which he prescribes,
put themselves on platform of the strict
est temperance. This is so pointed out by
the nature of many surgical cases that it
scarcely needs a comment; but it serves to
show how great doctor can lay down the
law of hygienic living and have it enforced
or quit the case. So there are some ply
siciaus called in to attend the nervous dis
orders that torture many women who will
not write 4 prescription until the patient S
dress is SO remodeled as to permit her TO
breathe and walk in a natural way. There
is a great deal in this line OF hygienic sug-
gestiou that tho doctors have it in their
power TO enforce. as tue threat of being
given over by the family medical confessor
would be enough to bring the most stub
born patient to common sense and obedi-
ence. The edic:s for stout hose, easy stays,
low heels, thick solcs, moderate walking
clothing that is light as well as warm, pass
in at one ear and out of the other, SO long
as the willful patient knows that the good
doctor will not put her out of his book for
dsobedience, but will treat her indulgently,
no matter how she disobeys. A little more
professional tyranny, such as is occasionally
enforced by Philadelphia physicians with a
patient who is given to intemperance, could

The doctors of Montreal were masters of
the situation, the other day, in a measure,
in the extraordinary order issued from the
Vice Regal Court in passing through that
city. Nice customs courtesy, it seems, to
the Canadian climate, and although the
Queen of England permits no devia

Expensive Funerals and Mourning.

We called attention in The Wig, last
week, to the request of respectable aud
intelligent farmer of this county, with re-
quest TO the details and arrangements of
his funeral when it should occur, aud took
especial pains to convey the idea that his
desires in this respect were not the result
of meanness, but simply the result Of his
COW lotions as to the uselessness and iusin.
cere display Of modern fashionable funerals.
Since then our attention has been called to
the views Of highly respectable clergy
man upon kindred subject:
\ Philadelphia clergyman, the Rev. Mr..
Macleod, contends that there is neither
health. sense, nor reigo ion in full mourning
He tells his congregation that bit of
black ribbon, worn iii some way, will tell
the story of bereavement just we'll as a
complete mourning suit. A bit of Grape
on the bell pull gives the h:nt TO those who
pass by, and il is not considered necessary
To cover the whole front with black drapery.
Why then. will not a bit of ribbon on a
cloak OF coat answer the purpose, and a
costume that is always gloomy and, in
warm weather, very uncomfortable, be
taken from the shoulders Of bereavsd ones.
Christians. he is convinced, ought not to
take 4 gloomy view of death. There are
glorious Lopes linked with the sorrows,
and the hopes of those who are gone before
should be symboliZed rather than the sor.
rows of those who are left behind. He
would have cheerful garments worn by
mourners in token Of the triumph of the
gloritied ones, and bit of ribbon or Grape
as a simple memorial of their own sense of
bereavement. The rest Of the full mourn
ing he would send to the heather, who in
their sorrow at the grave have no hope.
There is certainly much good sense in
what the reverned gentleman states,
whether We admit tho full force of his
position or not.

st. Patrick's Day.

AS previously intimated in The GLOBE,
the celebration to-day of St. Patrick's ami
versary, in lieu of yesterday, will not partake
of quite such extended display as is usual.
The most notable feature that will be omit
ted is the street parade, which will be a dis
appointment to those delighting in the like
There will be an approach towards this, how
ever. The Knights of st. Paul, the Father
Matthew society, and kindred Catholic asso-
Citations will convene at $50 this morning in
the basement of the cathedral, whence they
will proceed in body to the apartment
above, and attend the customary services.
These ended, the societies will march round
the block, and call, for the purpose of pay
ing their respects, on the bishops and resi-
dent clergy.
In the evening, as already stated in The
GLOBE, two entertainments will be given, the
one in the Opera house and the other in
Knauft's hall, the latter to be for the benefit
of st. Mary's schools. The Opera house
programme will consist of an addressEby
Rev. John Stanley, and instrumental and
vocal music, recitations, &C., will complete
the evenings attractions. At Knauft's hall
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly will be the orator,
and the balance of the programme will con
sist of vocal ard instrumental music, histori-
cal tableaux, and a humorous farce entitled
doctor Murphy The prices of admission
to both is the same, Is cents, and each per

Norseland Notes,

The Opera house was more than respectfully
filled last night on the occasion Of the first az
pearance in st. Paul Of the Swedish lady quar-
tette, assisted by Charles N. Allen, solo vio-
linist, and E. H. Allen, pianist and accompanist.
Much of the charm Of the quartette' = perform
ance was lost, to an English-speaking audience
at least, by the comparatively unknown Ian
guage to which the music was set. At the
fourth number, Wedding party at the Har-
danger river in Norway" and humorous quar-
tette, the audience was reused to an encore, to
which In the sweet bye-and-bye' was rendered
in response. Then it was that the full SYM
pathies of the audience were awakened, and, as
the harmonies of that familiar song rose and fell
in fitful cadences the auditors were completely
carried away by the enthusiasm created by the
magnificent and unique rendering, and the en-
core was deservedly doubled. Subsequently
:" Way down the Suanee River" and ''fhe old
Folks at Home" " were given in reply to encores,
and the programme was closed by Good
Night Too much praise can hardly be ac-
corded to the exquisite taste, ease and feeling
of the quartette. Mr.. Allen is crisp and bril-
liant in touch, distinct in his rapidity, and his
performances are clothed with perfect senti-
ment throughout, while the lady accompanist
is judicious and precise.

terday, stated that the government knew
nothing of the lease of the Pembina branch
of the Canada Pacific railway to Messrs.

ed without the sanction of parliament.
This was brought out by reason of dis

the influence of Mr.. Smith, the support
and cooperation Of the Dominion govern
ment have been obtained in the adjustment

KEoKuK, Iowa, March 17.-Henry Weese
and Fred. Knoch were arrested Yesterday for
the murder of Henry and Margaret eraser,
near Vile in this county. The first ground
OF suspicion was the fact that the tracks of
two men leading to Graser's house were dis
covered in corn-feld. The same tracks
were also found leading from Graser's house
toward Knoch's residence, and indicated that
the men were taking
VERY LONG STRIDES.

men proceeded to the house and arrested
Weese and Knoch and escorted them to 4
school house near by. Upon searching
Weese, paper money and coin to the amount
of

was found slowed away in seven different
pockets. None of the coin was of later
date than 1860. The collection also included
several German pieces. Weese evidently did
not know how much money he had upon his
person, for when he was arrested he de-
manded receipt for it, and said there was
about 5000 of it.
HE WAIVED AN EXAMINATION,

tion near the scene of the murder and was

WASHINGTON, March 17.-No important
witness of the proceedings in the McGarra-
han proceedings yesterday could resist the
conclusion that whatever may have been Nc
Garrahan's faults or acts, the New Idria min
ing company by it's own confession, has in
this case committed acts for which it must
deserve the
CONTEMPT AND SCORN
of all honest men. Last week the counsel
for the company, at the opening of the case,
presented to some of the correspondents who
were intimate with the New Idria counsel,
Jere Black, and who received their cue from
him, a book purporting to contain correct
statement of the McGarrahan claim, with
numerous letters, and what they called an
outside
PRIVATE LIST.
That list purported to contain the names
of Congressman and others, some living,
others dead, who had been bribed by McGar-
rahan, to aid him. During the week the
congressman named, who could reach
Washington, have, almost without an excep-
ton, entered their indignant protest. Nc
Garrahan himself has denied the authority
of the list, and has sworn that some of the
members mentioned he did not know, that
others voted against him, and has produced
what he calls genuine list, upon which the
name of no man in public life is found.

which has probably never been paralleled,

take the hide off Black before he is done
with him. The pretended private lists

company has yet to explain why it gave cur
rency to this confessed falsehood, when it,
by implication at least, asserted that the
documents which it published were taken
from the original papers.
