Mr.. Thomas G. Appleton, OF Boston,
says: 81 suppose you are familiar with
the story of Mr.. Phillips marriage?
How q gentleman asked Ny. Summer to
act as escort to a young lady who was
going to the convention at Albany, and
Mr.. Sumner, being unable to go, re.
signed in favor of Mr.. Phillips. How
Mr.. Phillips acted as her escort, and
lost his heart to her before he got back.
How he called upon her often in this
city, but was not admitted, owing to
her feeble health but finally he almost
broke his way to her and offered her his
hand. She said she would never marry
q man unless he would swear eternal en-
nifty to slavery but it was not necessary
for Mr.. Phillips to take that oath; he
had already sworn it in his heart. So
they were married, and the story OF low
ing devotion and perfect sympathy il as
much a matter Of public knowledge as
such q sacred subject should be-"

Seen In Canada this week.
Montreal Letter in the Chicago Herald
The great ice festival will occur
during February. The most important
event of the carnival will undoubtedly
be the bombardment Of the Toe Palace
by twe thousand snow-shoers and de.
feaded by as many Canadian militiamen
The design of the palace resembles q
Norman castle with a main tower of 90
feet In height, and q frontage of 25f
feet. The pearly tints of the walls, il.
Eliminated from within by electric light,
already experimental with, is indescri.
badly fine, and during the week it viii
be made the scene of pyrotechnic dis
plays and illuminated with colored fires.
To an American, however, the attrac-
ton par excellence Of carnival week il
the toboggan hills. What can be more
delightful? On a beautiful moonlight
night, almost as clear as day, away ND
near the summit of Mount Royal, the
ice bound valley of the st. Lawrence be.
low the green hills of Vermont standing,
boldly out in the distance, and a jolly
party Of ladies and gentlemen clad in
their comfortable blanket seats bent up
on having all the fun possible. The
slides on each side illuminated with
Chinese lanterns, while at the top and
bottom huge bonfires light up the sur
rounding pines. The sport grows fast
and furious; toboggan after toboggan
flies past at lightning speed, fun and
mirth reign supreme and far into the
night is heard the tinkle of the toboggap
bell and the hearty and joyous laughte,

cline for the first quarter being abou,

gusto and spirit seldom seer under 9th
er circumstances.
