believed. The heavy purchase of ex.

guilty practices as the ones most likely
to desire his absence. That Howgate's
stealings were known to Gen. Meyer and
others in the Signal Office cannot be
said, but that they suspected him is a
we'll known fact. Gen. Meyer, was
so wrapped up in the development of a

BETWEEN TWO FIRES,

The Canadian Pacific have also thsi,
object In getting into Fanderbilt's good
Rraces. According to their contract
with the Canadian government they
must build a line eastward, north OF
Lake Superior. This line would have
to take a route through an almost inn
penetrable forest. This the syndicate
want to avoid if they can, as the cost of
such an undertaking would be tremen-
dous. Trey want to have communica-
ton eastward over tho Northern Pacific.
Thus their object in standing in" with
Vanderbilt becomes apparent. 1t is
authoritively stated here. and generally
believed, that Vanderbilt now controls,
or will shortly control, an immense in
terest i'll tho Northern Pacific, the re-
cent buying up of shares being attribut-
ed to him. The Canadian Pacific have
but one way of getting out of their bur
gain to build their eastern one via North
Superior, and that is to allow other rail
way companies to build in the North
west. The contract which binds them
to build their cas-, ern branch through
these impenetrable forests of Lake Su-
perlor also gives them the monopoly of
railway construction in the Canadian
Northwest. The Canadian government,
now seeing the folly of their bargain.
offers to let Thorn off on one bargain if
they will reciprocate on the other. The
monopoly of the Northwest is a great
advantage to the syndicate, and means
untold benefit to them, and If the syndi-
cate was to cOncsde this point thee
would have the dreaded competition
which they SO dextrously avoided i'll
their contract,

VANDERBILT AND TIE CANADIAN
PACIFIC.

We give the following for what it may
be worth The writer guessed good
deal in penning what he did, but be
undoubtedly guessed some truth as
well as some error:
TORONTO, Jan. 0.-When il vould
seem that the Canadian Pacific we're on
their last legs, they have been success
fully tided over their straits BY number
OF English and American capitalists.
VINO have come to the rescue with the
necessary capital. As has already been
announced. at meeting held in New
1ora some time ago, nearly all the ex-
ira xso,Wp,0O of stock was taken nm
One Of the officers of the syndicate has.
since this meeting, said that considera-
Die OF the stock of the syndicate was
taken up by Vanderbilt. This official
further stated that Vanderbilt was on
the best or terms with the syndicate.
and freely discussed with them the fu-
ture prospects of the great Canadian
ro~d." All this seems very plausible.
Vanderbilt Is quite ready to utilize the
Canadian Pacific, and the Canadian Pa
cine are over anxious to make use o.
Vanderbilt. The American railway
king has long been striving to make his
way into Canada, no doubt lured on by
the splendid success the Grand Trunk
has achieved In this country, where il
has had monopoly for the past forty
years. Ever since Vanderbilt has had
the Canada southern from Detroit to
81. Thomas, point within few miles
OF Toronto, he has been endeavoring to
go through to the seaboard by a Cana
dlan route. Now he sees q chance by
the Canadian Pacific. The Canadian
Paclte railways Credit valley would
bring him to Toronto, then he could &c.
to Montreal by the Ontario Il Quebec,
now building, and to Halifax by the In
tercolonial. a Canadian government
road, and quite favorable to the Cana
dian Pacific.

Rev. Joseph Cook.

As some account Of Mr. Cooks labors
on the platform during the past few years
may be Of interest to our readers, a brief
summary of them may not be out Of place.
During the year ending July 4, 1873, he
delivered $50 lectures, 90 being IN the
East and six in the West, of which thirty
were given in Boston. and ten in New
York City. In the year ending July 4,
1879. he gave one hundred and sixty lee
lures. of which 72 were in the East, 20 in
the west, s in Canada, Q in Utah and IL in
Califoruia-2O of these being in the city of
Boston, 10 in New York and in San
Francisco. To deliver these he crossed
the continent twice, and travelled 12,5O0
miles. In the winter Mr.. Cook delivered
the Monday-noon lectures and another
series in New York on Thursday even
inps. AT the final lecture of the latter
course upwards of 200 people were unable
to find admittance.
In Boston alone Mr.. Cook has delivered
13O lectures on the most abstruse questions
of the day in philosophy, science and poll
tics. The lectures-known as the Boston
Monday Lectures-were given in fremont
Temple, to large assemblies, and often
when the topic was of more than ordinary
interest. the edifice~capable of seating e.
500 people-was filled to overfowing. OF
late years these productions were regular
ly published in Boston, New York, Cncin-
matt, Glasgow and London, and thus reach
ed, at a moderate estimate, a million read
ers weekly-a highly gratifying proof OF
their innate worth.
In 1880 Mr.. Cook again went abroad.
During his visit to the United Kingdom
he delivered 135 lectures, of which IL were
in Ireland, 39 in Scotland, and SO in Eng
land and Wales Everywhere he was re-
ceived with the utmost respect, and spoke
to crowded houses: Among his pub
lie appearances in the large towns, there
were in Liverpool, In Birmingham, 8
in Dublin, D in Belfast, z in Manchester,
| in Glashow, 12 in Edinburg, and 10 in Lon
dom At each place Mr.. Cook spoke In the
largest hall or chapel, and on several occa-
sions his audiences numbered between g.
| 600 and 5000. His addresses were re-
ported verbatim and published in full. He
was entertained at public breakfasts at
Belfast, Cardiff, Leicester, Aberdeen. In
yernesss, Edinburg, Manchester, Glasgow
and London. His farewell lecture in Lon
don was given in the Metropolitan Taber-
nacle TO q large and enthusiastic audience
on the 31st of May 1882, DIR. Allen, the edi-
tor of the British Quarterly Review, occu-
pying the chair. aa..
After spending some months in Germa-
nv. Mr.. Cook went TO India, where he ar
rived on the 5th of January, 1882, and
where he spent several months. During
this period he lectured in Bombay, Poon-
| ah, Ahmednager, Lucknow, Allahabad,
